Stop making decisions without consulting, Kampyongo tells IG

Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo has cautioned Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja and his officers to ensure that they make decisions which are in accordance with the Zambia Police Act and the Constitution.
Speaking at the launch of the Zambia Police Service direct deposit system in Chelstone yesterday, Kampyongo commended Kanganja for reversing his decision to recruit eight Chinese nationals as Zambia Police reservists.
"Before I conclude, just allow me to caution you Inspector General and your command that ours is not to politically interfere with your day to day operations because you are a professional entity, but ours is to ensure that we provide policy guidance and advice so that you serve the public better. And therefore we appreciate your need to engage in community crime prevention initiatives such as neighborhood watch, police reserves and indeed other initiatives that are intended to curb crime in our country," Kampyongo said.
"But my caution and advice is that we must always do this following the rules and procedures on how to engage in these initiatives in accordance with what is stipulated in your Acts and also the Republican Constitution. And to this call, I would like to just commend you for heeding to our advice and listening to your people in revisiting the decision that you had earlier made. That is how it should be because we are here to serve the people and we should make sure that we serve them to their expectations."
Later, when journalists pressed Kampyongo on whether Kanganja's reversal was a sign of weakness after the official programme ended, he said everyone made mistakes.
"How can that be a weakness? In fact that should be a strength. You as a journalist you, you cannot tell that you are always perfect and you don't make mistakes. That is why there is an editor. So if there was a slip up on the part of the IG, that is why there is a Minister of Home Affairs to check that and that's how things work. So it should be seen as a strength. There is strength in acknowledging our oversight and correct them. That is how it should be. Unless you are telling me you want people who are arrogant and don't listen to you even when you cry. We are all prone to error and behind uniforms, they are all human beings just like you and me," he said.
Meanwhile, Kampyongo said the new direct deposit system would not only enhance accountability and transparency in the handling of non tax revenue collected by the Zambia Police Service but also enhance public confidence.
"I must however caution the Zambia police command that the expected increase in the non tax revenue from the direct deposit system may not be realised especially if the front line officers managing the system are not adequately trained. To avoid any potential revenue losses, I hereby direct that all the front line officers who will be involved in managing the direct deposit system should receive adequate training before being deployed in the system," Kampyongo said.
The minister urged members of the public to desist from encouraging public officers to accept bribes.
"We expect that the direct deposit system to enhance non tax revenue curb the persistent perception of corruption and theft by public servants. Members of the public in this regard should desist from the common practice of encouraging public officers to accept bribes which not only undermines the moral fiber of our country but also denies the treasury the much needed revenue. And normally, I have never heard of a police officer who goes to strangle a member of the public to squeeze money from the pocket but the members of the public will at many times and willingly knowing in some cases moving with defective vehicles will be the ones even rolling on the floor to try and extend a little bit from their pockets but they are the first ones to even jump on the ant hill and shout corruption and pointing one finger forward and forgetting about the rest of the fingers pointing at the members of the public as well," said Kampyongo.
The direct deposit is a new system which will enable the public to pay fees and fines through bank deposits without police officers handling cash directly and the pilot project was implemented on December 1, 2017.
Among the services that members of the public will be required to make bank deposits are acquisition of a firearm license, interpol feels, finger prints, admission of guilt fee, and police reports among others.
And the ministry has engaged Indo-Zambia Bank, Investrust, and Zanaco as banks their points of payment.
Removing Lungu only way to restore confidence in the police – HH
Verbatim: Keith grills Inspector General of police – part 1
Abel James Mtonga
Kampyongo should not make us think the IG made that decision unilaterally, Kanganja is just a scapegoat unfortunately. Kanganja is the very one that barred his officers to marry foreigners citing national security reasons and today his commissioning foreigners as police reserves??? There is some force that he could not stand against that made him to act in such a manner. Unfortunately Kanganja is not courageous enough to tell his political masters what is right and acceptable in the Zambia Police law system hence looking a fool now in the eyes of the zambian people. This now brings me to… Read more »

Building a new sporting brand through AI
Sydney Sixter's general manager shares the emerging technology fuelled ways the team is building awareness
Brad Howarth (CMO)
Australian consumers are known for their love of sport. But for any new team that wants to build an audience, establishing a brand among so much competing noise can be a difficult challenge.
For clubs in short-format cricket competition, the Big Bash League, that challenge is made harder by the relative shortness of the season, which kicks off with the women's competition starting in mid-October and concludes with the men's season final in early February.
According to Sydney Sixter's general manager, Jodie Hawkins, that doesn't allow a lot of time to build a loyal following – something the club has been working to rectify using of technology.
So in 2018, Sydney Sixter's launched its own chatbot in conjunction with artificial intelligence specialists, Carrington Associates, using the Watson cognitive computing platform for IBM.
"We are in the public view for such a short period of time that we wanted to make sure we had a way to continue to engage and communicate with our fans," Hawkins says. "That was where our technology strategy started from – how can we be a club that is interactive for 12 months of the year."
In 2019, that strategy has been extended through connecting the Sydney Sixter's chatbot, named after the club mascot, Syd (a walking white and pink numeral six), to the Facebook Messenger platform. Hawkins says the goal is to reach fans through a medium where they are already present, rather than asking them to download a new app.
"For us it is about how we can share information, so people don't have to go into an app to get that," Hawkins says. "The Big Bash is all about fan-first, so we are all about creating and using innovation that allows our fans to get closer to the club."
She says use of the Messenger-based chatbot is also in line with increasing expectations of fans.
"They want to know the news first and they want it conveniently, so we have to be much smarter about the way that we engage," Hawkins says. "While this is all fun, it is kind of critical, otherwise we are going to lose people. Our core market is mums with kids aged 5 to 15, so technology is where we need to be engaging, but it means we constantly need to stay ahead of the curve as well, which is increasingly difficult.
"That is why we work with companies like Carrington Associates, which can make sure we are staying on trend and ahead of the curve and continue to evolve year on year."
While the Messenger platform enables Sydney Sixter's to push information to fans, it also enables the club to more easily engage in conversations, as the AI platform can provide immediate responses to relatively complex questions. The chatbot will also push announcements relating to players and fixtures, such as contract extensions and injury updates.
Hawkins says she is mindful, however, not to bombard fans with more information than they want.
"We are going to learn a lot over the next couple of years," she says. "As we start to see how people use it, we are going to see what they like and don't like and what information they are seeking, and we can build from there.
"The second you abuse that is the second you lose everyone, and you lose the purpose of the technology in the first place."
Use of the chatbot is the latest in a string of technology-based initiatives from the Sydney Sixter's, which has previously developed projects based on augmented and virtual reality.
"We are only eight years old, going into our ninth year, and we are trying to build affinity," Hawkins says. "We need to do that with as many touchpoints as possible, and technology is one of the key channels with us as we move forward to keep in touch with our fans."

Religious People Are Happier
It's not your imagination — and it's not because they're 'simpler,' either; Pew report shares revealing details
By Cathy Lynn Grossman
Look around. Three in 10 people you see claim they are pretty satisfied with life, and they're happy, healthy and moral, too.
They're the "highly religious" — the 30 percent of U.S. adults who say they pray daily and attend church at least once a week.
"Religion in Everyday Life," a new survey from Pew Research just released, teases out the particular ways they differ from the majority of U.S. Christians who are less observant and from non-Christians, including the "nones" who claim no religious identity.
The highly religious are overwhelmingly (95 percent) Protestant, Catholic or Mormon. Nearly half (49 percent) are white evangelicals. Most of the overall group (62 percent) are women.
And many are smiling. Four in 10 highly religious people say they're "very happy" with the way things are going in life, compared to 29 percent of those who are not highly religious.
But, "we don't know why they are happier" or more satisfied with their health, said Pew researcher Besheer Mohamed, a co-author of the report.
[lz_related_box id="124576″]
"We see the patterns but we don't know what is causing what. Is it that regular churchgoers get something from the church practice and involvement or is it that a certain sort of person is more likely to go to worship more frequently?" he said.
Nearly three in four (74 percent) highly religious people say they're "very satisfied with family life" compared to 67 percent of those who are not highly religious.
And 47 percent say they gather with extended family at least monthly (compared to 30 percent of those not highly religious).
The less religious may also be prayerful folks who attend worship less frequently or people with no religious affiliation who value moral behavior. The report points out that many say "attributes such as gratitude, forgiveness and honesty are essential" to what being religious or moral means to them personally.
Still, the survey finds many similarities in beliefs and behavior between the two groups.
1.) Few rely on clergy.
Rather than consult a pastor or priest, 82 percent of the highly religious and less religious rely on their own research when making important decisions; 45 percent turn to prayer and personal reflection; 43 percent to family; 25 percent to professional experts; but only 15 percent to religious leaders.
"It's the age of Google and consulting your own conscience or Aunt Susie," said Boston University professor of sociology Nancy Ammerman, an adviser to Pew on the research.
2.) Believers don't act on their faith in the marketplace.
Fewer than 30 percent, highly religious or not, and across all traditions, say they pay attention to a company's environmental record or to whether it pays fair wages before making purchases. Bringing religious views to economic choices "is still very low no matter where you look," she said.
3.) Couch potatoes are "very satisfied with their health."
The highly religious also admit they overeat about as often, and don't exercise much more than the seven in 10 Americans whose everyday lives are less shaped by religiosity.
The report draws on two major sources. The basis for most of the demographic data is the 2014 Pew Religious Landscape Study based on a telephone survey of 35,000 adults that has a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point. A second survey, delving into beliefs and behavior, was conducted among 3,278 members of Pew's American Trends Panel and it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. There were too few interviews to break out findings about minority religions or among historically black Protestants.
Pew also asked people about what they saw as the essentials of their faith or philosophy.
According to the report, "Christians are about equally likely to cite moral behaviors as vital to their Christian identity as they are to mention explicitly religious behaviors."
Among Christians, the top five of 16 beliefs and behaviors were:
Belief in God (86 percent)
Gratitude for what they have (71 percent)
Forgiving those who have wronged them (69 percent)
Honesty (67 percent)
Praying regularly (63 percent)
At the bottom: Living a healthy lifestyle and resting on the Sabbath each were cited by only 18 percent. Only 14 percent said being Christian means "buying from companies that pay a fair wage."
Among the 27 percent who said they were religiously unaffiliated, the top five criteria for a moral life were similar, minus God:
Being honest at all times (58 percent)
Being grateful for what they have (53 percent)
Committing to spend time with family (47 percent)
Working to protect the environment (35 percent)
There was one other noteworthy divide between the highly religious and the other 70 percent of Americans. The most faithful were also more likely to admit that they told a "white lie" in the prior week (45 percent compared to 39 percent among the less religious).
"Maybe they just have a greater sense of introspection or conscience," said Ammerman. "Maybe they are more empathetic and attuned to other people's feelings. Or maybe they're just more willing to tell (that they had lied)."

Florida Panthers News & Opinion
Flying Fluffy
Post Game
On This Day In Florida Panthers History: 03-20-06
March 20, 2020 March 20, 2020 by Frank Rekas
Happy Friday Florida Panthers fans! At least I hope it's a happy Friday. I mean it's the weekend, so why not be happy? Although after not going to the office of my "regular" job daily, every day has seemed like the weekend. I'm hoping you're coping, and I'm hoping that you're feeling good.
I would also like to think that these articles are helping to pass the time. There's really no other news to report about. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with my consecutive day streak!
Today we're going all the way back to March 20, 2006. The Panthers hosted cross state rival, Tampa Bay Lightning, in a wild game, that almost got away from the Cats. Fortunately they were able to pull out a victory.
The 2005-2006 season was an interesting one for the Panthers. It was the year after the lockout, and there were high hopes of at least being competitive. They were as general manager Mike Keenan and Jacques Martin had a team of seasoned veterans mixed in with some you. The roster had Olli Jokinen, Roberto Luongo, Jay Bouwmeester and Nathan Horton. Also Gary Roberts (one of my all time favorite players) Joe Nieuwendyk (ha! I spelled it right the first time!), Jozef Stumpl, Chris Gratton, Martin Gelinas and Gregory Campbell among others.
Martin's attention to defence, and playing it safe, and sometimes extremely boring probably cost the Panthers a playoff spot. Additionally, they were very inconsistent and streaky. A 12 game losing streak during October and November (see a pattern here?) is what likely did them in, as they just couldn't recover. Even a seven game winning streak late in the season wasn't enough. You know the old saying, you can't win the Cup in October, but you sure can lose it!
The final score of this game was 6-5. The Panthers took the lead in the first when Rick Jackman (who?) got them on the board. Very early in the second Ruslan Fedotenko tied the game up with his 22nd of the season. But then the Panthers reeled off four goals in the second period, two by Stumpel, ending the second period witih a comfortable 5-1 lead.
But, as you might expect, Martin and the Panthers couldn't step on the gas and put the Lightning away. They either played scared, or played not to lose, and the team went into what I used the call Martin's prevent defence. Although they couldn't prevent 4 Tampa goals in the third, with the tying goal coming just past the midway point. Martin St. Louis scored a pair, and the Panthers would finish regulation with their tails between their legs.
Fortunately in the overtime period, Olli Jokinen would score his 33rd goal of the season to salvage a win for the Panthers. Just another game that required too much extra effort for the Panthers. It was an exciting game, but there was too much drama that didn't need to be.
The Panthers would finish the year with a 37-34-11 record, and placed 4th in the Southeast Division. They were 24th in the league in scoring, and 15th in goals against among 30 teams.
Not a bad year. Could have been better, but the dreaded slow start was something they couldn't recover from.

Quarterly YouTube Trends Snapshot: Sustainability Culture
YouTube is a reflection of our culture, and emerging sentiments in our society are often reflected in the creative output of our vast creator ecosystem. Each quarter we'll zoom out to look at broader cultural trends we see emerging in video. This quarter, we look at sustainability culture on YouTube.
Earth Day focuses the world's attention on our planet and environment for one day a year, but people championing protection of the environment through living a more sustainable lifestyle is something we see every day on YouTube. Whether it's the popularity of Lil Dicky's recent top trending video Earth, the spread of Greta Thunberg's message about environmental responsibility that spurred a global student walkout protest (there are already more than three times as many views of videos with "Greta Thunberg" in the title this year than last year) or the creation of content related to Sustainable Fashion, Clean Beauty, Zero Waste and other sustainable trends, sustainability appears to be gaining traction as a topic of interest on YouTube.
Many people are beginning to take a closer look at what they're wearing these days - not just to make sure their look is on trend but to examine its potential impact on the environment. Sustainable fashion haul videos, videos where creators showcase clothes they've bought that are either ethically produced or procured, are an outgrowth of that. While hauls have been a part of the fashion community on YouTube for years, many creators began uploading sustainable hauls in response to criticism from their viewers urging them to be more environmentally responsible. In fact, we saw a year over year 190% increase in uploads of videos related to "hauls" with "sustainable" in the title ("sustainable hauls") and a 13x increase in views of those videos in 2018. The most-viewed "sustainable haul" video was uploaded by the channel, Bestdressed.
Bestdressed is a channel started by Ashley, a UCLA film student, who describes herself as someone who loves thrifting and who has a website through which she resells clothes on the side. Thrifting is one approach to sustainable fashion, and Ashley has uploaded several thrifting hauls to her channel, which boasts over a million subscribers.
Justine Leconte is a French fashion designer living in Germany whose emphasis is on sustainable fashion, the idea that one can create clothes in a way that is minimally taxing to the environment and society. She began her channel with the intention of pulling back the curtain to show what the design process is like, and along the way, she managed to become one of the leading voices around sustainable fashion on YouTube, providing tips on what to look for in sustainable clothing.
Making one's look sustainable doesn't stop at clothes. A similar trend that has emerged recently is clean beauty. Clean beauty is the idea that people should use makeup comprised of non-toxic, ethically sourced materials. With the EU banning 1,328 chemicals from cosmetics (11 are banned in the U.S.), it's no wonder many are beginning to wonder how to find cosmetics that are conscientiously produced. Big proponents of this trend include some major brands, so it's not surprising, then, that many of the most-viewed videos that have "clean beauty" in the title feature celebrities.
That said, we have also seen this concept catch on with creators. Last October we saw a 7X increase in monthly views of videos with "clean beauty" in the title. Key to this trend are makeup tutorials like Allana Davison's Full Face Using 100% Clean Beauty. These videos are instructive, directing viewers not just toward products but also instructing viewers in applying the makeup.
While those trends highlight the ways creators are showcasing sustainability cosmetically, other creators are creating videos that illustrate ways they believe they can integrate sustainability more deeply into their lifestyles. From minimalists to tiny home/van life proponents, and the zero waste community, these communities offers tips to educate others on living more sustainably.
Views for videos related to sustainable living that provide tips for leading a more eco-friendly lifestyle doubled in 2018 compared to 2017. The most-viewed of these from last year is 20 WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE.
A common kind of tip video is the "zero waste swap" video. These videos instruct viewers in leading a more sustainable life by showing them what products with which they can replace the items they already own to help reduce the amount of waste they produce.
One creator who who specializes in "zero-waste swaps" videos is Shelbizlee, a self-described "eco-realist" from Austin, Texas. She has over 100K subscribers and over 10 million views of her videos which offer practical advice on reducing waste.
While zero-waste tips might help with the things that you have in your home, there are those on YouTube who have revolutionized how we think about homes.
There's a broad community of #Vanlife channels who rhapsodize the simplicity of life lived in a van. You don't have to live in a van to live simply, though; there are many who live in tiny homes. By sharing their lives in these unorthodox domiciles, these creators are able to evangelize a more sustainable lifestyle while also sharing the tips and tricks that are necessary for them to lead their minimalist lives.
Over 400K subscribers follow the adventures of Jinty Fell as her family travels across Australia in a van. The channel exemplifies the tiny home/van life movement, a movement dedicated to reducing one's footprint by living economically, by reducing one's possessions using only the space one needs to live. Videos related to van life experienced more than 4.5x increase in views last year vs. 2017.
Between the new types of channels and video formats related to sustainability culture we're seeing emerge and spread from creators around the globe and the growth in views for this content, it appears that sustainable culture is taking root on YouTube.

Vintage Eames Chairs Make a Handsome (and Sustainable) Christmas Gift
Based in Brooklyn, Patina NYC soures and then meticulously restores the iconic designs of Ray and Charles Eames to former glory
When it comes to mid-century modern furniture, Eames chairs know no equal
Patina NYC
By Danny Agnew @regalkillz
When it comes to sustainable gifts for the holidays, it's tough to beat vintage. When it comes to sustainable gifts for the holidays for people who are obsessed with iconic design, it's virtually impossible to beat vintage Eames chairs.
Which is why, if you're in the market for such a gift, you should give Nick Barber a call. Barber is the proprietor of Patina NYC, a furniture restoration concern based in Brooklyn that specializes in mid-century modern pieces — specifically, meticulously refurbished, drop-dead gorgeous Eames chairs.
As previously relayed to this publication, Barber's Eames obsession began with a viewing of the 2011 documentary Eames: The Architect and The Painter profiling the legendary couple and their design process (Ed. note: the documentary is very good, available on Amazon and we highly recommend it). Shortly thereafter, he began sourcing vintage Eames pieces and restoring them to their former glory. These days, he's a veritable Eames historian, able to identify the age of a piece "to a handful of years" via various details like finishes and construction techniques.
Regarding those pieces, Barber's showroom is stocked at any given time with a variety of handsome loungers that are sure to make a welcome addition to whomever's living room you're kind enough to grant one (or your own, should you choose to, understandably, gift yourself). Naturally, the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman — a mid-'50s union of plywood and leather so artful that it now sits as part of the permanent collection at New York's Museum of Modern Art — takes center stage, and Barber's got 'em in a variety of hues from creamy ivory to burnt orange to an eye-catching mint green.
He's also got stately plywood chairs on offer, as well as sets of the Eames fiberglass shell chairs, an assortment of mid-century tables and an Eames rocking chair — something your correspondent wasn't even aware existed and is now desperate to own.
All are of course certified authentic and also come with the peace of mind that you're gifting sustainably — plus it's something that comes with a bit of lived-in history, always a plus. And Barber ships all over the globe, so no matter where you (or your giftee) reside, you're covered.
"This stuff is meant to be used and enjoyed." says Barber. "It is beautiful and functional. It is art you can sit in."

CHICAGO, November 28, 2018 – Cushman & Wakefield has arranged the sale of Seventh Avenue Medical Center in Chardon, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. Gino Lollio, Scott Niedergang and Bryan Belville of Chicago, brokers in the firm's Healthcare Advisory Practice, Capital Markets, with the assistance of Eric Schreibman of Cleveland, represented the seller, a group of physicians practicing out of the building and the original builders. They also procured the buyer, an out-of-state private equity firm focused on the acquisition of medical office real estate throughout the country.
Seventh Avenue Medical Center is a 27,930-square-foot, ambulatory surgery center-anchored medical office building located at 150 Seventh Avenue. The building was fully occupied with each tenant signing new long-term triple-net (NNN) leases with annual increases prior to the sale. Anchor tenants include Kellis Eye Center, Chardon Surgery Center and Precision Orthopedic Specialties, all prominent medical providers in the Cleveland area.

Will Ralph Abraham run for another term in Congress?
Greg Hilburn
The News Star
Louisiana Republican Congressman Ralph Abraham said he will decide by January at the latest whether he will run for a fourth term in 2020.
Abraham, who represents the 5th Congressional District, is coming off a hard-fought governor's race in which he finished third and out of the runoff behind Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and Republican Baton Rouge businessman Eddie Rispone.
"We haven't decided, but I know we'll make the call by January," said Abraham, who endorsed Rispone during his concession speech. "If we decide not to run we want to make sure those who are interested have time to put together their teams for a campaign."
Abraham said he would limit himself to three terms when he first campaigned for the office in 2014. The congressman said he might stretch that number to four, but not beyond.
"I'm a term limit guy, whether it's three or four at the most," said Abraham, 65, who lives in Alto in Richland Parish.
Abraham remains immensely popular in his district, where he finished first in the governor's primary with 40 percent. His numbers were even stronger in the 5th District's population hubs of Ouachita (50%) and Rapides (41%) parishes.
He's won all three of his previous congressional elections with landslide victories of no less than 64% in the 2014 runoff, his first campaign. He's not been pushed to a runoff since then.
"We're so grateful for the continued support we've been given in the 5th District," he said. "It's not a matter of whether or not we believe we would win again."
Abraham said the deciding factor will likely be the state of the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
"We want to be there for the president if this continues to move forward," Abraham said.

The congressman sits on key committees of interest for the 5th District and Louisiana.
He is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, where he has been able to secure funding for key projects at Barksdale Air Force Base and Fort Polk, and on the House Agriculture Committee, where he helped write the new Farm Bill.
Abraham conceded he didn't fully comprehend the importance of seniority in Congress when he made his term limit pledge in 2014.
"I don't think anybody realizes the role seniority does play, but I'm a guy of my word and I still believe in the value term limits," he said.
Next year's primary election is Nov. 3.

Iwata's quality of life initiative 'still in development' at Nintendo
Company hasn't given up on entering the health market, current president reveals
28th Jun 2019 / 11:15 am
Nintendo is still developing "quality of life" products, five years after late president Satoru Iwata announced his intention to take the company into the health improvement business.
That's according to current president Shuntaro Furukawa, who told shareholders at an annual meeting on Thursday that Nintendo hasn't given up on breaking into the health market.
Nintendo's quality of life initiative was first announced in 2014 by former president Iwata, who described it as a 10-year plan to expand the company's output with health improvement-related products.
The initiative followed the 2009 announcement of Wii's heart-tracking Vitality sensor (pictured above), which was never released.
The objective was to "extend the definition of entertainment" with a health-focused venture that will be "independent from our video game platform business", Iwata said at the time.
To date, Nintendo hasn't released any quality of life products. In 2015, following Iwata's passing, then-president Tatsumi Kimishima announced that plans for a sleep sensor to monitor users' sleep had been shelved.
In 2018, it was reported by respected Japanese publication Nikkei that Nintendo had closed its QOL department entirely.
However, during the company's 79th annual general meeting of shareholders on Thursday, current president Furukawa revealed Nintendo still has health-related products in development.
"Although it's a very long time ago, as a challenge towards a new business, we announced that we were developing products to improve quality of life. Even right now, the development is indeed still continuing," he said (translated by Japanese Nintendo).
"Still, we have not made a product that we can proudly announce as a Nintendo product."
Furukawa also said the recently announced Pokémon Sleep – a mobile app which monitors players' sleep – is owned by The Pokémon Company "so it is unrelated to the development in Nintendo's QOL business."
"Yamauchi always said 'Nintendo is an entertainment company and should never be anything else,' but he didn't necessarily think 'entertainment equals video games'"
The quality of life initiative was born from both former president Iwata and his predecessor Hiroshi Yamauchi's intentions to change the public perception of Nintendo as 'merely' a video game company.
Iwata said in a 2014 interview: "A lot of people around the world think Nintendo is solely a company that makes video games, and I believe more and more of our own employees have started thinking in this way.
"Some employees in charge of development find themselves in positions where all they are thinking about is how they can make the game in front of them more fun, so I don't think it can be helped if others outside of our company see us the same way.
"So even though we won't chance the fact that our focus is on video games, I felt the need to take that occasion to state that Nintendo is a company that can do whatever it wants."
Iwata said Yamauchi's teachings led to the announcement of the quality of life platform.
"Yamauchi always said 'Nintendo is an entertainment company and should never be anything else,' but he didn't necessarily think 'entertainment equals video games,'" he explained.
"I was wondering how to express Yamauchi's feelings, and I thought about it non-stop, even during the New Year's holiday break.
"Recently the words 'quality of life' have been coming up regularly. Entertainment is there to improve people's quality of life. After your basic needs, there's entertainment. However, when it came to improving people's quality of life, I didn't know the difference between us and household appliance makers.
"At the start of this year, I finally figured that the concept of 'improving people's quality of life with fun,' with emphasis on the 'fun,' would be perfect for Nintendo."

A motorway bridge has collapsed in the northwest Italian city of Genoa and fire brigade sources say 35 people were believed killed as vehicles plummeted to the ground.
Dramatic video footage captured the moment of the disaster when one of the huge supporting towers crashed down during torrential rain.
Vehicles and debris fell 45m (148ft) on to rail tracks, buildings and a river.
Searches for people trapped in rubble are expected to go into the night.
Fears that other parts of the bridge might fall have prompted the evacuation of buildings in the area, a rescuer told Italy's Ansa news agency.
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini promised that anyone found to be responsible for the bridge collapse would be held to account.
"I have crossed that bridge hundreds of times," he said. "Now, as an Italian citizen, I will do everything to get the names and surnames of the managers responsible, past and present, because it is unacceptable to die like that in Italy."

This is a guide to running Linux with the Acer Extensa 4620-4605 laptop.
I needed to recompile the latest ALSA module to get sound working on the headphone and mic. Internal mic doesn't work.
Wireless needed to download the firmware, afterwards it works.
There is a little configuration work required to get the most out of the Acer Extensa 4620. However after this is complete the 4620 works just fine with Linux.


Attaining a high school diploma or GED is hard enough for the average inmate, but imagine the difficulties facing an inmate who is blind, deaf or has a severe learning disability.
It's the job of Disability Placement Program teacher Kris Szovati to help level the playing field for such an inmate.
Szovati, who has been with CDCR for 17 years, has a master's degree in education with an emphasis in special education. She helps inmate students at High Desert State Prison who need one-on-one tutoring and testing accommodations. She also acts as a liaison between the inmate and the teacher to ensure the inmate is able to comprehend the material being taught.
Disability Placement Program teacher Kris Szovati speaks at an inmate graduation.
Szovati has a roster of inmates each day she must track to make sure they are in the right program and classroom. One of her students is legally blind, another has a severe learning disability, and three are deaf and require the assistance of a sign language interpreter. She visits the inmates for a one-on-one tutoring session at least once a week and provides specialized help with their assignments.
Szovati also supervises the "Talking Book" program for inmates who cannot write. Inmates are given the opportunity to digitally record themselves reading a letter or a book to send home to their children and family.
The inmates that Szovati helps tutor are in seven different parts of the institution. She has students in Yards A through E, the treatment center, as well as in Administrative Segregation.
Despite timing challenges, Szovati has several success stories of disabled student-inmates who overcame the odds and managed to obtain a GED.
One such inmate was legally blind and about to parole but desperately wanted to obtain his GED before his release. He did not pass the first time taking the test, but Szovati put in the hours helping the inmate study for his second attempt. Szovati practiced with the inmate using an Optelec machine that magnifies the text. After much practice, the inmate student passed the test, earning his GED before being released into the community.
Szovati's special dedication to helping inmates, who often fall through the cracks of the public education system on the outside, not only helps the inmate achieve a useful and life-changing accomplishment, but also helps the community to which the inmate eventually will be released.

Play It Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound, and Revolution of the Electric Guitar
Tolinski, Brad & di Perna, Alan
HIS054000, MUS020000, MUS023060
9780385541008, Related ISBNs: 038554099X, 0385541007, 0385685823, 038568584X, 0735285497
Synopsis: The inspiration for the Play It Loud exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
"Every guitar player will want to read this book twice. And even the casual music fan will find a thrilling narrative that weaves together cultural history, musical history, race, politics, business case studies, advertising, and technological discovery." —Daniel Levitin, Wall Street Journal
For generations the electric guitar has been an international symbol of freedom, danger, rebellion, and hedonism. In Play It Loud, veteran music journalists Brad Tolinski and Alan di Perna bring the history of this iconic instrument to roaring life. It's a story of inventors and iconoclasts, of scam artists, prodigies, and mythologizers as varied and original as the instruments they spawned.
Play It Loud uses twelve landmark guitars—each of them artistic milestones in their own right—to illustrate the conflict and passion the instruments have inspired. It introduces Leo Fender, a man who couldn't play a note but whose innovations helped transform the guitar into the explosive sound machine it is today. Some of the most significant social movements of the twentieth century are indebted to the guitar: It was an essential element in the fight for racial equality in the entertainment industry; a mirror to the rise of the teenager as social force; a linchpin of punk's sound and ethos. And today the guitar has come full circle, with contemporary titans such as Jack White of The White Stripes, Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent), and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys bringing some of the earliest electric guitar forms back to the limelight.
Featuring interviews with Les Paul, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, and dozens more players and creators, Play It Loud is the story of how a band of innovators transformed an idea into a revolution.

Instagram Reintroducing Chronological Feed Option in 2022
Wednesday December 8, 2021 2:29 pm PST by Juli Clover
Instagram is planning to reintroduce a version a chronological feed option in 2022, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said today in a Senate panel on teen safety (via Engadget).
"We're currently working on a version of a chronological feed that we hope to launch next year," Mosseri said, explaining that Instagram believes in giving people more control over how they view content.
Such a feature has apparently been in the works "for months" with Instagram targeting a launch in the first quarter of 2022.
When Instagram first launched, it provided a chronological feed that displayed the newest Instagram posts when you opened up the app, but in June 2016, Instagram swapped over to an algorithmic feed that displays posts based on relevancy.
Instagram has not had an option for a chronological feed for the past five years, so introducing an alternative to the algorithmic feed will be a major change. There have been multiple complaints about the Instagram feed over the years, and in 2018, the company did tweak the algorithm to make newer content show up more often.
Instagram has claimed that its algorithm is designed to surface the moments that people care about the most, highlighting posts based on interaction frequency and timeliness, but many Instagram users will likely be happy to have a chronological option.

"in the works for months"... This used to be the way the feed was. Why does this have to take a long time, as if it's a new feature?
mdlyen
But will the setting stick or revert every time you open the app (like Facebook)?
WiseAJ
Do you mean META? Facebook no longer exists.
Facebook the social media app still exists, Facebook the company is now META.
adamjackson
When social networks ditched chronological, that's when I deleted my accounts. Facebook in 2011, Twitter in 2013. If they didn't trust me to read stuff that's newest versus what the algorithm thinks I want to see, that means they decide what I see and when and they took that power away from users which does increase engagement because we all know users over-subscribe by over-liking / following more content than they can reasonably see but that was the last straw for me. at this point, I see no value in going back to these social networks after almost 10 years without them.

Will it also stop shovelling ads to our brains?

Thank God. The IG algorithm is absolutely horrible...I'll see the same posts for like 4 days in a row.

Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday named a leading consumer advocate to serve on the California Public Utilities Commission, one of the state's most powerful regulatory bodies.
Michael Florio, a senior attorney for the Utility Reform Network, known as TURN, was appointed to serve a five-year term. Brown also named Catherine Sandoval, a Santa Clara University law professor, telecommunications expert and former Rhodes scholar, to the five-member, constitutionally independent panel.
The utilities commission oversees companies supplying electricity, natural gas, telephone and cable television service to millions of homes and businesses.
The governor reappointed Robert Weisenmiller, an energy consultant, to the California Energy Commission and designated him to serve as chairman, beginning Feb. 6. Weisenmiller has four years left on his five-year term. A second, five-year slot went to Carla Peterman, a UC Berkeley doctoral candidate, solar-energy specialist and another Rhodes scholar.
The energy commission is charged with licensing power plants, setting efficiency standards for appliances and buildings, and conducting research and analysis on a range of energy-related issues.
The four appointees, who must be confirmed by the state Senate, won praise from one of the Legislature's top energy officials, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima), chairman of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee.
"Gov. Brown's appointments reflect his desire to move California forward in the areas of clean energy and telecommunications while controlling costs to ratepayers," Padilla said. "Given the challenging economy, that makes a lot of sense."
Florio brings 32 years of legal experience in utilities law to the PUC. The Oakland resident has direct knowledge of most energy proceedings at the San Francisco-based agency. His legal arguments at times had major effects on key decisions made by commissioners during the California energy crisis of 2000 and 2001. Florio is an expert on natural gas regulatory law. He has stepped down from TURN to serve on the utilities commission.
"Consumers in California now have a CPUC commissioner they can depend on," said TURN Executive Director Mark Toney. "Mike Florio is eminently qualified to serve on an agency whose mission is to 'protect the public interest by protecting consumers.' His expertise and dedication are likely to help the commission rehabilitate its tarred image."
The PUC recently has been criticized for an alleged lack of oversight of a natural gas pipeline that exploded in September, killing eight people in San Bruno.
