Welcome back, it has been a quiet month, both for us and the industry, not much news to report on and not many new products are being introduced. But there are some new products on the horizon that are bound to make the next few months pretty interesting. The first is ATi's new R300 core based graphics accelerator, next up is 3Dlabs' new P10 architecture and Matrox certainly has got something up their sleeve with their new product now only known as 'Parhelia'.
From our prospective chipsets and CPU's are not going to be much of an exciting market until we see PC-1066 RDRAM and DDR400 products appear, which will be a while still as the 850E doesn't support PC-1066 RDRAM and DDR400 chipsets might not even provide a better performing solution over DDR266 and 333 chipsets. But we covered all of the issues with the DDR400 chipsets before, so if you're interested please look them up and give them a good read.
The graphics industry seems to finally get their act together and tries to take the performance crown away from Nvidia. ATi has already shipping parts, such as the Radeon 7500 and 8500, that support more DirectX features than current Nvidia products do, and the new R300 core will make the gap even wider. 3Dlabs seems to take a different approach and incorporates tile-rendering and other band-width saving techniques in the P10 architecture, making for an interesting combination.
However one manufacturer has particularly been keeping quiet and that's Matrox. Although the king of 2D hasn't had a decent 3D product out since the launch of the G400 Max some years ago they seem to have gotten a whole new design in the works that's bound to bring 'Matrox-quality' to 3D. Rumors circulating the web often mention Parhelia, Maxtrox G1000 and other even wilder codenames. All we can say, and thereby keeping to the NDA, is that Matrox has an interesting product that'll put them back on the track they strayed from after the G400's introduction. Whether it'll be a substantial upgrade from current GF4 Ti4600's or 128Mb Radeons remains to be seen, but if you value quality and color accuracy this may just be what you're looking for.

The present Note is addressed primarily to decision-makers and stakeholders in the Global South engaged in developing national climate change policies. We define such policies in the present context as high-level documents that set forth in a consolidated manner a country's approach both to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. More specifically, this Note seeks to help those teams to address a relatively narrow topic in the context of those policies:how their countries should deal with climate change in urban areas, and to empower local authorities as key actors in that effort.


A few days back the news of the sales of Google Glass being shelved was all over the web. However, now it seems things are going to change again with the production of Google Glass. The tech giant will be starting the Glass project again from scratch, as per reports of the New York Times. After the sales were stopped in January, the development of the prototype was also alleged to have stopped. Now the project will start again under Tony Fadell, CEO of Nest and former gadget designer at Apple.
Now with the rebuild, it seems that everything about the future of Google Glass that we knew about, will be lost. Before the announcement of the rebuilding of the project, we had an expectation that we would get a new version of Google Glass in 2015 which would use an Intel SoC. But now with the rebuilding, it means that the project could potentially carry on for many years.
Another product of Google which has been struggling since its release is Google+. It is a good analog for Google Glass. Vic Gundotra, the head of Google+ had left Google around a year ago. His leaving the company came at the same time when the social network went for a direction change. The stress on Google+ was lessened and in the last one year, only one minor feature has been released.
Now, with Google Glass starting all over again, it will be foolish to expect the refined product to be available for use anytime soon.
Do you think this is a good decision on Google's part? Do you own a Google Glass? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Police Officer Melvin Hopkins was shot and killed while taking action during a robbery at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, while off duty.
Officer Hopkins was waiting in front of a store owned by his uncle as the store closed for the night. A man attempted to gain entry, and Officer Hopkins told the man the store was closed. The man then produced a handgun. Officer Hopkins and the suspect exchanged shots, and Officer Hopkins was mortally wounded. As Officer Hopkins lay wounded on the ground, the suspect stole his service weapon and fled.
The suspect was apprehended several days later and charged with murder. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Officer Hopkins had served with the New York City Police Department for ten years and was assigned to the 77th Precinct. He had previously served three tours of duty with the United States Army in Vietnam.
Officer Hopkins was survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
Officer Hopkins, rest in peace. My dad served with the 102nd precinct in Richmond Hill in Queens.

This sequel is a drag. The first season was so good. Yet this time around the story doesn't excite. Joe moves to LA, meets a new woman he falls in love with and starts to stalk. But that's not the core of the story anymore.
Nothing is really the core of the story. There's a bit of everything going on. Sure, that's a good change from the first season where the love/stalk story was too present. But then again, that was also its coolness. Maybe it's the setting. Los Angeles isn't New York. And its inhabitants just aren't quite like the ones of the Big Apple. Most of the new characters in this show are tiresome stereotypes of Angelenos. And that's the biggest flaw.
Not a season to binge watch.
When They See Us – ***
Posted: December 25, 2019 in 2019, Courtroom, Drama, Political, Prison, TV series, USA, XXX
Thirty years ago a female jogger was left for dead after having been molested in Central Park, New York. During the same night a group of young kids had gathered in the park for some wilding, attacking and mugging random passers-by. The investigating police made a link between the two events and arrested dozens of these kids, interrogating them about the rape. Five kids were left to their own devices at the police station and somehow ended up confessing to crimes they didn't commit. A mediatized trial followed and even though the kids were minor and there was a lack of evidence, all of them were sentenced to years in prison. Four were minors and got five years detention, starting in a juvenile centre. One was sixteen at the time of the events and went straight to the adult prison system.
Most Europeans, and a whole generation of Northern Americans as well, were unaware of this case until this four part series became one of the main releases on Netflix this year and received critical acclaim.
Unfortunately, by end of the year, so many articles have been written about this production, that it becomes very challenging to watch the series without expectations. Yes, it's a great series and a must-see. But no, it's not the best series of the decade. You want this to be a mix between The Wire and The People vs O.J. , but it is not. It's way too short. It is generating more questions than providing answers. It's a show that will stick with you days after having watched it. So, that's good. But it does feel like so much more could have been told.
Episode 1 is tough to watch. The characters are introduced and you immediately find yourself in the same mess they get themselves into. Dozens of kids are arrested, yet there are five of them that are detained longer and coerced into admitting to a crime they didn't commit. These kids were at the wrong place at the wrong time and didn't get the support they needed. Easy victims for the interrogating police…. The creators of the series clearly want the viewer to feel empathy for the innocent kids and anger towards the judicial system. It works, but it also annoys. This is where the series is flawed. The kids are sweet and innocent and adorable even. The police, judges and prosecutors are heartless monsters. It's predictable tv making. This is also where an hour episode just isn't enough.
Episode 2 is better. However as a court room drama it is not detailed enough. This is very intriguing stuff. We get snippets of the story. We learn that each kid had a different lawyer. We learn that each family of these kids deals differently with the accusations. We learn about the discussions amongst the prosecutors. We get to see some witnesses. All very briefly. This may have been the way the accused kids saw the trial (and it's their story), but as a viewer you want to learn more. What about the jurors? The judge? This part of the story needs an 8 episode series alone.
The second half of the series is excellent though. In the third episode the show focuses on how the four minors get released from detention and have to struggle all over again. It's a sad episode, but a very necessary one, because it focuses on how getting out of prison isn't always a gift and how it's very hard to rehabilitate in society. Episode 4 focusses entirely on the story of the one kid that was sent to adult prison and it is superb television, mainly because of the tour de force of Jharrel Jerome, who deservedly won an Emmy for his performance.
The acting in this series is top-notch. It makes up for the fragmented storytelling. Whoever did the casting deserves another award. A special shout out to Asante Blackk (playing the kid who is left alone at the police station: the moment you realize this will be a tough watch), Caleel Harris (the kid who is forced to lie by his own dad!), Niecy Nash (the troubled mother of the kid who will suffer the most) and Michael Kenneth Williams (the dad who told his kid to lie and has to suffer the consequences) !

The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air : Season 1 – **(*)
Posted: December 11, 2019 in 1990, Comedy, TV series, USA, XX1/2
It took me nearly 30 years to watch this show. By the time it was aired on tv here, I was in college and didn't watch tv. My then indie/alternative music mindset did not appreciate Summertime or Boom Boom Shake The Room either. So, Will Smith was just not someone cool enough to follow.
Yet, watching this first season was fun! It's good. Not every episode is great. The overal concept is still weird and badly exploited, but by the end of the series you start to appreciate Will Smith's remarks and some of the other characters' traits. The show also isn't that outdated. Intrigued what the next seasons will offer. Personal favorite: Jazz!

Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it
Madonna's best track is featured during the entire first episode of the second season. It's a really good episode. If you only have to watch one episode of this entire series, pick that one. You can also watch the entire show of course, but there are not that many episodes nearly as good.
Madonna's Vogue kind of made the late eighties New York ball culture mainstream. For a few months. Until the hype was over. Few people actually know about this underground culture, which is experiencing a bit of a revival right now. And this show is only going to get more people intrigued.
The show is important. No doubt. It focuses on an underground culture with characters from the black and latino underrepresented lgbtq community. And it tells the story of the struggle that people with HIV or Aids had to go through 30 years ago. That storyline is quite moving. BUT – in capitals – the acting, writing and directing is messy. Especially in season 1, which introduces the characters. Maybe that has to do with the directing. And the budget. It feels like every scene was never rehearsed and shot in one take only. It's amateur. And annoying. The dialogues feel awkward as well. Season 2 improves on all of this. The acting is much better and especially the monologues of diva Miss Electra are hilarious and well-written. The episode stories however are often too far-fetched (the one where they have to hide a corpse, really?) or a real drag (the aids cabaret in the hospital).
Some characters are really cool though. That Miss Electra steals the show. She's a vicious queen with a cold heart, but defrosts by the end of season 2. She is by far the most fierce, intriguing and hilarious person in the cast. Dominique Jackson is acting a bit wooden in season 1, but shines in season 2. Get her an award. Equally growing in her role is MJ Rodriguez as Blanca, who keeps the show going. She needs an award to.
There's a lot going on. And the AIDS-related storylines are really good. But the interaction between the characters doesn't feel realistic. They are inconsistent. In one episode they hate each other's guts, in the next they support each other like sisters, in another one they are ready to physically harm each other, in the end they go on a day trip together. It's weird. I'm sure there is enough drama in real life. So to add extra drama just doesn't make sense.
Still. Season 3 may be great. and the soundtrack is excellent
Irmandade (Brotherhood) – **(*)
Posted: November 2, 2019 in 2019, Brasil, Crime/Detective, Drama, Prison, Revenge, TV series, XX1/2
Tags: hermila guedes, irmandade, naruna costa, seu jorge
A young lawyer, working for the public prosecutor's officer, has been living in guilt for many years. As a child, she was the snitch that made her older brother go to jail for drug trafficking. Unwillingly of course. But her father always made her believe she did the right thing.
When she's working on a case in which her incarcerated brother is involved, she gets drawn into his world. First out of curiosity, later out of necessity. An act of beneficence gets her in trouble. She forges a document to make sure her brother gets a better treatment in jail. But this illegal misstep is the start of one rollercoaster ride of misery and drama. Her entire career is ruined. Unless she helps a detective by infiltrating into the brotherhood gang that her brother is leading…
Though flawed, this is a very enthralling series. It's a mix of a prison drama and a detective story with a main lead that plays a double part. It's set in Brazil, so the drama is very dramatic. But it's also very violent and grim. It deals about police brutality and corruption and a lot of murderous crime. People get beaten, tortured, killed by the dozens. It brings you the exact opposite of the cheerful and colorful image that Brazil has in many ignorant foreigner's eyes. This is one dark tale. Even Cidade de Deus has characters laughing and dancing at one point. This one has zero joyful smiles.
But it's worth the watch. Noreen Costa is phenomenal as the main lead. She not only needs to convince the detective that he can trust her. She also needs to convince the brotherhood that they need her. And more important: she needs to convince the audience watching at home that she can pull this off. Hermila Guedes is equally excellent as the wife of the imprisoned brother. In a very macho setting, these two actresses and their characters keep the show from being a total waste of time. Girl power!
The male leads are only slightly less impressive. Danilo Grangheia as the detective is great. So is Seu Jorge as the brother and leader of the prison gang. We just don't get to know their characters that well. It's all very superficial and the show fails to create empathy or sympathy for them. Where you believe the women immediately and you understand their actions from start to finish, it's much harder to understand what these male characters are all about.
The story may be full of inaccuracies and illogical situations, but the storytelling is well done. Each episode ends with a good cliffhanger that make you want to continue watching. And the ideas are quite clever and flow in a constant entertaining pace. The last episode is a bit too much though. It's inconsistent and feels rushed. It also isn't conclusive. There's no end. Not even an open end. A lot of questions remain.
So watch this by the millions so netflix will make the second season. Because we need to know what's going to happen next !!!
Stranger Things : Season 3 – **(*)
Posted: October 22, 2019 in 2019, Fantasy, Science Fiction, TV series, USA, XX1/2
Too much product placement. (Is this show sponsored by Burger King and New Coke?)
Too many characters. (who again are siblings ?)
Too many references. (A corrupt mayor… Events leading up to the 4th of July… A chief with lines like "I can do anything I want, I'm the chief of police" … Jaws isn't even eighties)
Too many repetitive scenes. (We get it. El can move things. El can locate people after being blindfolded.)
Contrary to other fans of the show, this guy here was disappointed in Season 3. Even got bored at certain moments. And the end doesn't promise anything better for Season 4.
Still a great show though. Eighties forever!
This Is Us : Season 3 – **
Posted: September 15, 2019 in 2018, Drama, TV series, USA, XX
Kevin goes on a mission to Vietnam to learn more about what his father did over there. He's also dating Beth's niece. And becomes an alcoholic. Again.
Randall becomes a politician and acts like a total asshole at times.
Kate gets pregnant and gives birth.
This is one boring season.
Yes, you get to learn a bit more about the side characters. But it's still all about the Pearson family and they become more and more annoying and less and less credible in their family antics.
It took months to finish watching this season. Only one episode was great: R & B. But then the final episode blew it again.
Not looking forward to season 4

Nine things you didn't know about Bob Feller
Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller died on December 15, 2010, after living an amazing life that included inspirational service in the United States Navy in World War II and a storied baseball career. Here are nine things you may not have known about this great American:
1. Feller was signed by legendary scout Cy Slapnicka for $1 and an autographed baseball. On July 22, 1935, when the youngster was just 16 years old, Slapnicka inked Feller to a minor league contract with Fargo-Moorhead of the Northern league. Feller finished his senior year at Van Meter High School and went directly to the Cleveland Indians in 1936. His signing was a point of contention and resulted in Cleveland having to pay a $7,500 fine to the owner of the Des Moines team, who had lost out on signing the young Feller.
2. Feller's high school graduation ceremony was broadcast live on national radio. Already a famous pitcher at the age of 17, Feller graduated with his classmates in the spring of 1936 and was on the mound for the Indians weeks later. Amazingly, he fanned 15 batters in his first start, against the St. Louis Browns.
3. In the first game that Bob Feller's mother watched her son pitch in the big leagues, on May 14, 1939, White Sox third baseman Marv Owen lined a pitch into the stands that hit her and knocked her unconscious. She recovered, but had to have stitches.
4. In 1947, Feller announced that he would pitch in the Cuban winter league in the off-season. Unfortunately, he made the announcement in August while the Indians were in the midst of a pennant race. Cleveland fans howled. Feller explained that he had to make the announcement earlier than planned because the news was going to leak in Cuba. Regardless, MLB Commissioner Happy Chandler ruled that no major leaguer could play in Cuba during the winter. Feller fired back at Chandler, citing that minor leaguers were not restricted by the ruling. "Why should a major league player be limited to 30 days of barnstorming when a minor leaguer can play ball all winter? Chandler's ruling places a penalty on being a major leaguer."
5. Feller frequently pitched exhibition games against famed Negro Leagues hurler Satchel Paige. The two traveled on barnstorming tours during the off-season, entertaining fans all over the country. Feller was one of the first MLB players to include Negro Leagues players in his tours. He championed the election of Paige to the Hall of Fame.
6. In his career Feller started 22 games on just one days rest. His record in those games was 14-5 with a 3.47 ERA and 12 complete games.
7. In his 266 victories, Feller compiled a 1.85 ERA with 223 complete games and 44 shutouts.
8. In December of 1956, Feller was elected the first president of the Players Organization, a precursor to the Players' Union.
9. Feller was a Hall of Famer longer than any other man. He was elected in his first year of eligibility in 1962, and for the remainder of his life – a span of 48 years – he returned to Cooperstown every year for induction ceremonies.

Our 1994 Pontiac Firebird trim comparison will help you decide.
1994 Pontiac Firebird review: Our expert's take
General Motors seems no longer content to just compete in the mid-priced sports car market. Judging from this week's test-drive vehicle, a 1994 Firebird Formula convertible, the world's largest automaker clearly wants to own the market.
I can't think of another convertible sports car on the planet that delivers more for the money than this week's test car.
No matter what you use as your measure – performance, safety or cost – the Firebird convertible is an incredible value.
Now for the bad news: Pontiac won't be making many Firebird convertibles for the 1994 model year, because it took engineers longer than anticipated to work out a few minor last-minute production problems.
Running at full tilt, the factory can build just 1,000 Firebird convertibles before shutting down for the summer, Pontiac spokesman Randy Fox said from Michigan. Fox said 250 of the 1,000 Firebird convertibles scheduled to be built for 1994 will be 25th Anniversary Trans Am convertibles, which will have a special appearance package.
Each June or July, auto factories close for a few weeks to prepare for the next year's models. But when the factory reopens and begins to build the 1995 models, there should be an adequate supply of Firebird convertibles on hand in the fall.
As with a hardtop, the red Formula convertible came outfitted with a 275-horsepower version of the 350-cubic-inch Corvette V-8. You can choose between a six-speed manual transmission or a computer-controlled four-speed automatic.
Our test car came with the six-speed. This proved to be an easy-to-shift transmission. The clutch pedal also worked smoothly, making the Formula easy to drive.
The Firebird's blistering acceleration made the car extremely fun to drive. With a touch of the gas pedal, the car rocketed forward and the chrome-tipped dual exhausts uttered a thundering rumble.
The fuel-injected V-8 engine is loud and, at idle, it shakes thewhole car. But, hey, that's what the Firebird Formula is all about. There is nothing subtle, subdued or restrained about it.
Though Pontiac has not released performance figures, the slightly heavier convertible is about as fast from 0-to-60mph as the Formula hardtop. Figure 0-to-60 mph in about 6.3 seconds. The Formula convertible weighs about 100 pounds more than the hardtop.
Our test car delivered 24 mpg on a long highway cruise and 16 mpg in the city.
The Firebird Formula is a civilized sports car. Unlike other performance cars, the Pontiac doesn't shatter your spine with a stiff, unforgiving ride.
The Firebird's suspension system is nothing exotic, but it does its job well. The Formula handles with just as much ease as many other more expensive sports cars. Up front there's a short/long arm suspension with gas-charged shocks and a stabilizer bar. In the back there's a solid axle and coil springs.
The secret of the car's ride, Po ntiac engineers say, is in the Firebird's stiff body. By making the body rigid and nearly flex-free, the suspension system could be fine-tuned to provide a ride that absorbs bumps yet also is firm enough to keep the car poised and easy to control during aggressive driving, such as fast cornering.
Pontiac didn't skimp on the steering or brake systems. There's a very tight and precise power-assisted rack and pinion steering system and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes equipped with an advanced anti-lock system, which has more sophisticated sensors.
The Formula's fat tires and the car's low stance make the car feel very stable.
The Firebird is not a big car, but the long dash and sloping nose make it a bit difficult at first to get your bearings when you are parking.
Our test car featured leather seats (an $805 option) that were exceptionally comfortable. On one trip I covered nearly 200 miles and my back felt fine afterward.
Th re's not much legroom in the back seat, but it is not impossible to get comfortable. One adult can sit sideways or angle his legs over the transmission tunnel.
Visibility is excellent – as long as the top is down. With it up, you can't help but feel a little claustrophobic. The glass rear window is very small, and its size restricts your vision.
However, raising and lowering the power top is a very easy procedure. All you do is unfasten the two latches on the top frame and press a button under the dash. The top folds neatly into an area behind the rear seat.
The Firebird's convertible top deserves special mention. It is made of an expensive canvas-like cloth, and on the inside it is lined with thick cloth to keep out wind and road noise. With the top up, the Formula convertible is nearly as quiet as the coupe. The roof had no wind or water leaks, and the rear window sported an electric defroster.
With its 275-horsepower V-8, long list of standard safety features, exotic styling and excellent road manners, the Formula convertible sets the standard for value in its class. It might take a while to get your hands on one, but it's well worth the wait.
Truett's tip: The Firebird Formula convertible delivers astounding performance, exceptional handling and best-in-class safety for a price that no other automaker can match.

What is a High Flex Cable and How to Order it?
High flex cables have higher bending cycles than standard cables. High flex cables should be used if the cable undergoes movement and bending. High-flex cables are typically used with robotic arms, products that are often moved, such as medical cameras and any application of repeated flexing. An existing high flex cable can be ordered, or they can also be ordered to a custom cable length or custom connector combination.

The Changing Room' : Opera performance work in collaboration with Bruce Mclean and Sam Belinfante. Merevale Hall, Warwickshire.
By the Mid 1990s I decided I needed space and time to develop a number ideas in different formats that were difficult to do if I was committed to a commercial exhibition at the Redfern Gallery. The immediate nature of working with interesting students as Head of the MA in Fine Art had also begun to take precedence over my thought processes.
This relative freedom gave rise to many possibilities, breeding like rabbits that were difficult to deal with from the point of view of the availability of time. I am still endeavouring to deal with this today. Works have a way of expanding to fill the time available.
There is a value in a deadline no matter what gives rise to it, hence the need to find interesting venues for differing works and various projects such as Limber Gym in the future.

BNCA claims drug testing as major achievement
Of the total 39 success indicators for Bhutan Narcotics Control Authority (BNCA), four were achieved, 35 were on track, and none were at risk.
This was presented during the mid-year review of the Annual Performance Agreement (APA) yesterday in Thimphu.
BNCA's director general, Phuntsho Wangdi, said BNCA is not entirely a health sector and that it has equal responsibility in law enforcement, and providing social services. "The focus had been on capacity development of law enforcement agencies and health professionals such as counsellors and doctors."
Instituting preventive treatment and rehabilitation programmes are also carried out as the autonomous organisation had limited reach across the country, he said.
He said that aftercare services, which are crucial after treatment, had been lacking in the country.
BNCA trained about 1,200 teachers based in Thimphu and Phuentsholing on early detection skills to help identify students and help them treat addiction.
APA report also stated that BNCA trained about 2,000 parents on drug education in Thimphu, Paro, Gelephu, Phuntsholing, and Samdrupjongkhar.
Phuntsho Wangdi said that numerous Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were developed. "Institutionalising drug testing was one of the biggest achievements. The purpose of the test is not to identify people and punish them but to protect our society."
He said that early detection could help in early treatment of the addiction.
Drug testing had been instituted in Bhutan Civil Aviation Authority, Bhutan Postal Corporation, Road Safety and Transport Authority, Royal Bhutan Army, Royal Bhutan Police, Royal Civil Service Commission, and Punatshangchhu Hydroelectric Power Authority.
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay said that gradually, it would come to a time when everyone would have to get tested for drugs. "Youth and students will also be careful while abusing substances if they are aware of such drug testing programmes in place."
He said that ad hoc drug testing is different from that of people who abuse substances in public space adding that the ad hoc testing is an opportunity to correct and treat.
Phuntsho Wangdi said that resource constraint remains an issue.
Of the released budget of amount Nu 26.892 Million (M), BNCA spent Nu10.203M.
He pointed out that sometimes, some agencies go on spending spree when some budget is left, after the required works are completed.
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay said that it is not acceptable when agencies spend to use leftover budget on things that are not necessary. "The budget that is acquired with much difficulty should not be spent on unnecessary things."

Benedict Joseph Fernandez III (April 5, 1936January 31, 2021) was an American educator and journalistic and documentary street photographer.  He is noted for photographing the protest movements of the 1960s, particularly those of the civil rights movement and the anti-Vietnam War movement.

Early life
Fernandez was born in the Manhattan borough of New York City on April 5, 1936.  His father was born in Puerto Rico and worked as an office manager; his mother, Pamela (Perella), was a housewife and of Italian descent.  Fernandez was raised in the East Harlem neighborhood, and attended Haaren High School.  He was given a Brownie camera shortly before becoming a teenager.  After finishing high school, he was employed as a crane operator at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and later at the Bethlehem Steel shipyard in Hoboken, New Jersey.  There, he photographed his co-workers for a project he titled "Riggers".  Fernandez later became acquainted with Alexey Brodovitch, after being introduced by a fellow photographer to whom Fernandez gave spare roll films; this paved the way for a scholarship to the Design Laboratory and a position at the Parsons School of Design overseeing its darkroom.

Career

Fernandez lost his job at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the early 1960s after the position was eliminated.  Consequently, he became a professional photographer.  He covered the American civil rights movement and anti–Vietnam War movement in the 1960s, which included the Poor People's Campaign, 1967 Newark riots, and draft-card burnings as they were unfolding.  He recounted how these protests "hit a kinship in me that I felt I had to record and expose.  I developed and thought it was necessary that I stood for something, and that's where the protest photography became important."  Fernandez first met Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967, and was often invited to the latter's home in Atlanta.  There, he was able to document some of King's private moments with his family, giving Fernandez the opportunity to see King "as a man, a father, a husband".  His collection of 80 images of King became an exhibition titled Countdown to Eternity that journeyed around the country.  Another two of his collections were published in 1996 – Protest and I Am a Man.

The photographs taken by Fernandez – which were primarily in black-and-white – were poignant and demonstrated the confidence he gained from his participants.  He described how his prints "became my protest", adding how "my friends stood up and picketed, and I was a surrogate of them.  I protested for them and with them, through my pictures."  He favored being identified as a "photo-anthropologist" rather than a journalist, explaining:

Fernandez also founded his eponymous Photo Film Workshop in the basement of The Public Theater, where he taught underprivileged youths for free.  It was awarded a $5,000 grant by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1977 for instruction and training.  One of his pupils was Angel Franco, who would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for his photojournalism with The New York Times.  Another one of his students, Michael Kamber, established the Bronx Documentary Center, which displayed Fernandez's "underappreciated archive" around 2014.

Fernandez established the photography department at the Parsons School of Design, and employed professional photographers to be instructors.  He obtained a bachelor's degree from Empire State College of the State University of New York in 1987, at the age of 46.  This came after he was granted a Fulbright research scholarship in photography as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship.  Following his time at Parsons, Fernandez continued his career in the 1990s as a founder and CEO of Hoboken Almanac of Photography and the Almanac Gallery in Hoboken, New Jersey, and as a senior fellow in photography at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Personal life
Fernandez married Siiri Aarismaa in 1957.  Together, they had two children: Benedict IV and Tiina Polvere.  He had dyslexia that was not diagnosed until after he completed his schooling.

Fernandez died on January 31, 2021, at his home in Oxford, New York.  He was 84, and suffered heart failure prior to his death.

GOP hits Biden for baby formula shortage as White House looks to boost supply
Thu, May 12, 2022 by ABC News

(WASHINGTON) — The White House is moving to deal with yet another crisis with potentially damaging political consequences: a nationwide shortage of baby formula.
President Joe Biden spoke Thursday with retailers and infant formula manufacturers — including Target, Walmart, Reckitt and Gerber — on efforts to make more supply available to American families, according to senior administration officials.
In the meantime, the White House will be urging states to let parents use their benefits from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to purchase formula. The administration is also calling on the Federal Trade Commission and state officials to crack down on any instances of price gouging.
The FDA is expected to announce ways the U.S. can import more formula products from abroad in the coming days.
Even as one company said it could take up to two months to get its product back in stores, the FDA wouldn't provide an estimate on when shelves will be replenished.
"We absolutely recognize the frustration that American families are feeling right now," one official said on Thursday, "and that's why the president has acted to direct administration to pull additional levers, take additional action to make more supply available as quickly as possible."
Or as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat put it during her weekly press conference: "Right now the baby's crying, the baby's hungry, we need to address it right now."
"President Biden has directed the administration to work urgently to ensure that infant formula is safe and available for families," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday
Asked why Biden and the administration hadn't acted earlier, Psaki insisted that administration efforts had been "underway for months."
"The steps the President took today are an acknowledgment and a recognition that more needs to be done. That we do not want parents, mothers, families out there to be stressed and worried about feeding their babies," she said. "We are working. We are seeing increases over the last couple of weeks. More needs to be done. We are going to cut every element of red tape we can cut. We are going to work with manufacturers, we're going to import more, to expedite this as quickly as possible."
"If you are a parent who is looking for formula right now, struggling to find what you need, do you have, even have a rough guess of how long these shortages are going to last? pressed ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Mary Bruce.
"Well, we've already seen an increase in supply over the past couple of weeks. What we are seeing, which is an enormous problem, is hoarding. People hoarding because they're fearful," Psaki answered. "Our message to parents is we hear you, we want to do everything we can and we're going to cut every element of red tape to help address this and make it better for you to get formula on the shelves."
.@MaryKBruce: "When will parents be able to get the formula they need?"
Psaki: "FDA took a step to ensure that babies were taking safe formula…We're going to work with manufacturers, we're going to import more to expedite this as quickly as possible." https://t.co/9KEtZZ0mlF pic.twitter.com/qZSdrHH3ry

A shortage of formula has been a long-standing problem because of supply chain problems, but the situation was made even worse when Abbott — one of the largest manufacturers of formula in the nation — announced in February a recall of three popular brands and shut down its Sturgis, Michigan, plant due to contamination concerns.
The company took the action after complaints of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Newport infections in infants who consumed the formula. Two of the infants died.
Parents report scrambling to find formula as the out-of-stock rate for baby formula hit 43% at the end the first week of May, according to a report from the real-time data tracking agency Datasembly.
Public outcry has garnered the attention of lawmakers on Capitol Hill — providing Republicans with another line of attack against the Biden administration.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., read letters he received from worried parents and grandparents aloud the floor of the Senate on Thursday.
"This outrageous, unacceptable situation has been unfolding in slow motion over several months," McConnell said. "Much of it stems from a recall that resulted in a plant being shut down. But it seems that while President Biden's administration and the FDA knew all about this problem as it developed, they had been asleep at the switch in terms of getting production back online as fast as possible."
A group of House Republicans held a press conference Thursday to discuss the issue, hitting Biden for not getting ahead of the problem.
"This is not a Third World country" said Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik. "This should never happen in the United States."
As outrage from the public intensifies, the FDA this week said it's doing "everything in our power to ensure there is adequate product available where and when they need it."
"Ensuring the availability of safe, sole-source nutrition products like infant formula is of the utmost importance to the FDA," Commissioner Robert M. Califf said in a statement. "Our teams have been working tirelessly to address and alleviate supply issues and will continue doing everything within our authority to ensure the production of safe infant formula products."
Abbott has said it could restart operations at its Michigan plant within two weeks, so long as it gets a green light from the FDA. From there, it would take the company six to eight weeks to get the new product to shelves.
"We would begin production of EleCare, Alimentum and metabolic formulas first and then begin production of Similac and other formulas," the company said.

Why are you passionate about this work?
I work in a city and hospital that had segregated and disparate healthcare. Although that sanctioned injustice no longer exists, disparities persist for patients with kidney failure on dialysis. People of color are disproportionately affected by kidney failure and are less likely to receive a kidney transplant. As I serve people receiving dialysis and hoping for kidney transplants, I have passion every day to see an improvement in this inequity.
What was your "aha" moment while working on equity-related efforts at your organization?
My "aha moment" was recognizing that health equity is as important as any other quality or safety initiative.
What part of the Disparities Leadership Program has been the most useful in moving your work forward?
What is one piece of advice you would give anyone working on disparities/equity-related efforts?
Be patient, persistent, get incremental wins and be in it for the long haul. Diversity in opinion and thought is better for all of us.
