Jordan plays China on Friday after dropping past two friendlies
By Aline Bannayan - Dec 27,2018 - Last updated at Dec 27,2018
AMMAN — Jordan plays China on Friday in its final friendly ahead of the 2019 Asian Cup in the UAE.
Jordan has had a tough week. Following a training camp in Oman, the national team lost its first two friendlies during its current training camp in Qatar: they lost the first 1-0 to Kyrgyzstan and second 2-0 to its host.
While the national team's path to the Asian Championship was not difficult against relatively unknown teams, the Asian Cup might not be that easy as Jordan will join 24 teams playing in 6 groups with the top two from each group and four third placed teams advancing to the Round of 16.
Jordan ended the year at 109th — its best ranking of the year — when the latest FIFA rankings were issued this week as the team started the final countdown to the Asian Cup where Jordan will play in Group B against Australia on January 6, Syria on January 10 and Palestine on January 15.
Earlier this month, Jordan hosted two friendlies, beating India 2-1 and holding Saudi Arabia 1-1. Earlier, it held Albania 0-0 and lost 2-1 to World Cup runner-up Croatia. Jordan also tied Oman 0-0 and lost 1-0 to Lebanon.
After being among the Asia top 10, Jordan is now 19th on the continent lagging behind relatively uncompetitive Asian teams compared to their best FIFA ranking of 37th in 2004.
Since first taking part in Asian Cup qualifiers in 1972, Jordan reached the Asian Championship three times. The peak was at the 13th Asian Cup, when Jordan lost to Japan in the quarterfinals and jumped to its best ever FIFA rank of 37th in August of 2004. It also reached the Asian Cup in 2011 and 2015.
After elimination from the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, playing in the Asian finals became Jordan's focus. The team has had inconsistent results compared to 2013, when Jordan was on the verge of qualifying to the 2014 World Cup for the first time and advanced to play then world's 6th ranked Uruguay in an intercontinental qualifying tie.
Jordan had never reached that far in World Cup qualifying. Round 3 had been the furthest Jordan had reached their past 7 attempts.

Snapask: The EdTech App Helping Millions of Students Learn Across Asia
by Caroline Tam Hong Kong Jun 13th 20205 mins
https://hivelife.com/snapask/
On-demand learning app Snapask has seen a recent spike in popularity with the outbreak of COVID-19, as many turn to online education in lieu of classroom learning. Founder Timothy Yu sits down with Hive Life to discuss the future of e-learning.
Founded in 2015 by the young entrepreneur Timothy Yu, Snapask is a mobile app that provides on-demand tutoring by matching students with qualified tutors for interactive, one-on-one virtual tutoring sessions. Known as the 'Uber for tutoring', the Hong Kong-based app has raised a total of USD 56.8 million in funding to date, with over 350,000 tutors and 3.2 million students across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. We sat down with Timothy to discuss the future of educational technology, and how Snapask is paving the industry for online-based learning in Hong Kong.
Walk us through your background. How did you wind up founding an education app?
I was raised in Hong Kong and had a pretty typical Asian upbringing. I was studying Math in high school and Finance at university because I thought I had to be a banker, which was a typical journey for most of the friends in my circle. When I was in college in 2008, I ran a tutorial school for a couple of years, wanting to put my passion for education into practice – I was doing a lot of private tutoring on the side, and I was looking to scale it up without having to go door-to-door. The year before graduation, I realised that if we wanted to scale, we could achieve a lot more by bringing education online. So that's what I did.
What's the inspiration behind Snapask?
The inspiration for Snapask actually came from when I put my teaching videos on Facebook. Surprisingly, a lot of students came and watched my videos and, after they watched the videos, they would ask me questions or request a follow-up in person. WhatsApp was also starting to become more popular, so a lot of students were quite open to chatting over WhatsApp with their friends and even with their tutors. I found text-only messaging to be quite effective, and it was fast becoming a big trend in how people communicate, so we leveraged this insight and officially launched Snapask in 2015.
How does Snapask work?
There are three main parts of the experience. The first part begins when a student on the platform takes a picture of a question they don't understand and uploads it onto the platform, which takes about 30 seconds. Then the system matches the most suitable and responsive tutor based on the question asked, the time of asking, as well as the user's preferences. Students don't want to ask a question and wait for 30 minutes until someone answers, so we focused on both efficiency and quality. After the matching algorithm identifies the right tutor, the two would go into a chat session, which is the third part: tutors take pictures of the steps that they use to solve the problem and use audio messages to explain it verbally. The whole teaching and learning process lasts about 15 minutes, after which tutors will leave the session and students can leave a rating before moving forward with their learning journey.
How do you guarantee the quality of tutors?
We put a lot of effort into the vetting process to ensure that tutors are eligible to teach. Because a lot of students are underage, we have to make sure no inappropriate behaviour is happening on the platform. We ask tutors for their university transcripts and IDs, and we record all the chat history on our backend. But, just because someone is good in certain subjects doesn't mean they're good at teaching. So when they are offering their services and answering questions, the platform takes note of a few things to determine the quality of the session. We look at students' ratings of the session in terms of the tutors' attitude and how they are conveying their lessons. We want to make sure that students who have a question will always be matched with the best suitable person.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the education industry?
Last year, we acquired about 1.3 million customers from across Asia. Online education is a very obvious trend and many students are open to it, but since the coronavirus outbreak, it's been accelerating very quickly – out of the 1.3 million users, over 30% joined within the last 3 months, so you can see a very big increase. I think a lot of it is because students have no other options – they cannot go for tutorials, but exams are still happening. Asia has a really exam-driven culture and without school, without tutorial centres, students have to rely on other resources that can only be online.
Will this trend in education continue?
I think this trend will still exist even after the COVID-19 epidemic because people have gotten used to the convenience and, once they try it, it'll be really hard for them to go back. We can see that students on Snapask have increased their usage: the number of questions asked every month has increased, and users who join are staying on for much longer. Online education has always been a trend and will continue to grow for a long time – COVID-19 only accelerated it.
What is the future of technology in education in Hong Kong?
I think schools are much more open to adopting the right software and tools to help increase efficiency. An example is how they are doing assessments. A lot of teachers give tests and exams, which often puts a lot of pressure on students. Ultimately, the goal is to understand how students are learning and progressing, so teachers can actually break their tests and exams down into micro-assessments and put them online – a small pop quiz of 3 to 5 questions every day to see if students understand the concepts taught in class would be sufficient. Not only does this take off a lot of pressure for students, but it also decreases the workload for teachers so that they can actually focus on improving their teaching.
In the future, I think that there will be wider adoption of this kind of technology. You can see it everywhere, from food delivery and logistics to transportation and leisure – everything is going online. With just one mobile phone, we can basically complete any task that you have, learning included. I think that's something very much achievable in the next 5 to 10 years.

Expanding Rural Participation in Nigeria's Digital Economy
By Modupe Gbadeyanka on September 27, 2018
By Adeniyi Ogunfowoke
Nigeria's digital economy is currently getting the much-needed attention from government and experts because of its endless potentials to cause a radical shift in the country's economy. These can be backed by the statement of Okechukwu Enelamah, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment who said recently that there are indications that investments in the digital economy will generate $88 billion and create three million jobs for Nigerians before the end of 2021.
From the Minister's statement, it can be understood that the digital economy will be key to the growth of Nigeria's economy.
However, a major concern or worry for some stakeholders is that the participation in the digital economy is largely concentrated in the urban areas. Meanwhile, in the rural areas, their participation is quite skeletal largely because of the low internet penetration. To be more factual, the Executive Vice Chairman, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Danbatta said recently that 53% of Nigerians lack internet access and many of them are inhabitants of rural areas.

Nigeria's Digital economy
So, what is the digital economy? According to Deloitte, "It's the economic activity that results from billions of everyday online connections among people, businesses, devices, data, and processes."
What is exciting about the digital economy is that it is unrestricted and borderless as it can reach anyone in any part of the world.
In Nigeria, we have seen huge contributions in the digital economy from e-commerce, fintech, aggrotech, and healthtech among others. These businesses have deployed digital technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual reality and the internet of things to solve crucial social problems and improve their bottom line.
In relation to e-commerce, Jumia has played a key role in accelerating Nigeria's digital economy. The platform has encouraged and convinced Nigerians to buy things online, created jobs and generally encouraged trust in the online space.

Increasing rural participation
Business in rural areas is basically offline. This is probably because of inadequate internet access. Nevertheless, these areas cannot be left behind in the digital economy march. It is a goldmine waiting to be explored.
The first and only thing that must be done is for the government through the Nigerian Communication Commission to work with the telecommunication companies to identify and provide telephony services to underserved or unserved communities. If this can be done, there will be a steady increase in rural participation in the digital economy because businesses will move into these communities to do business.
In the meantime, some painstaking efforts are been made to increase rural participation despite the limited internet access.

Jumia, Nigeria's No 1 shopping destination, has expanded its delivery services beyond Lagos to include Ibadan, Abeokuta, Port Harcourt and Abuja. In all of these cities, there are pockets of rural communities and their inhabitants who buy items online through Jumia Force (JForce) agents and are delivered to their doorsteps. Also, if you are searching for a hotel, Jumia's hotel and flight services have over 9,000 hotels across the country. Therefore, whether you are in a rural or urban area you do not need to worry about where to stay. This reveals that Jumia is ready to send foot soldiers to these rural areas to educate, enlighten and at the end empower them to be part of the digital economy.

Matafonua Lodge: It's Time To Get Yourself To Tonga
It's everything an idyllic tropical getaway should be. A genuine all-round resort that will have you pre-planning your return.
For Australians, the South Pacific is an extremely oversaturated holiday option. There are dozens more package deals than there are destinations, each of them boasting the best bungalows, reef and palm tree-lined beach.
To find an idyllic daily scene like you've just stepped into a desktop wallpaper, your search will be repetitive and overwhelming. We've done the hard work for you (really, it's tough), unlocking the perfect, carefree tropical haven for your next under-the-radar adventure. For us, that haven is Tonga's Matafonua Lodge.
Bound by the northern peninsular of the Ha'apai archipelago's main island, Matafonua Lodge is, paraphrasing their own thoughts, "the way the South Pacific used to be."
I could go on like this for another few hundred words, regurgitation the same utopian word play that is written about every other resort in the region like every other hotel review - but I won't, and for good reason.
Simply, Matafonua is not even close to your typical tropical accommodation, and in the best way possible.
Fear not, the postcard you'll be sending home will still make the recipient drool with envy, but Matafonua spins a rare, homely twist on the cumbersome resort template you'll come across both in other parts of Tonga and the wider Pacific region.
While the majority of resorts stick to an accepted mould that can sometimes feel tiresome and monotonous in its setting, Matafonua Lodge stays true to its roots, not trying to be something it isn't. It exemplifies what it does best - and that's a genuine, earthly aura that makes it feel like an extension of the owner's family home rather than an over-ambitious tropical hotel.
Those owner's names are Darren and Nina, and along with their three cheerful children, run the property to the letter. They pride themselves in the experience of each individual guest, equally as much in their comfort as their appetite. The menu at Matafonua will hands down become the talking point of your stay, the food bill likely inadvertently resembling your actual nightly rate, but worth it nonetheless.
The fales (houses) are simple yet meticulously serviced, with one and two bedroom alternatives. You may find that you spend the majority of your time on the beach, in the water or on the daybed finishing that long overdue book.
It's easy to fill your days despite being in a relatively isolated locale. Take your pick from snorkelling among resident leopard sharks at the resort-front reef, boat diving some of the South Pacific's best year-round sites, kite surfing the trade winds from Chile, or stand up paddle boarding the post-sunset coastline with underwater torches.
I was fortunate enough to experience the latter in all its glory, our SUP group setting off from the sheltered side of the island an hour before dusk. As we meandered along the reef, carefully hugging its jagged border as not to end up on the coral, schools of fish played beneath the boards as they quietly sliced through the 27 degree water.
We stopped at a small beach further along to enjoy a prenominated beverage before strapping heavy duty underwater torches to the bases of the boards. As the remaining light chased the sun down behind the horizon, the effectiveness of the coloured torches became more and more defined, lighting up a four-or-so metre patch of ocean around each of us. Darren was kind enough to apply his Maverick drone skills to capture some incredible imagery from above.
There are only a few instances I can think of where mankind can tweak natural beauty to somehow improve it. Night SUP is undoubtedly one of those rare moments when you can't quite comprehend how incredible the scenes are before you.
In my short time at Matafonua, I didn't get the chance to soak in everything there was on offer. With too many incredible options, each more impressive than the last, I had to settle for an abridged version of a standard week-long stay.
And we didn't even visit during whale season.
Yes, possibly the biggest tourism drawcard in Tonga, and one of the natural world's most magnificent experiences, can be found just offshore Matafonua Lodge. Running from June to October, the same majestic creatures that were born around the island of Ha'apai return with their young, migrating home for the winter months. You can swim with these awe-inspiring animals through Matafonua's tour charters, but it's extremely popular so lock it down soon to avoid disappointment.
We'll let the photography speak for itself on this occasion, and be sure to recount it to you ourselves when we return in the near future.
Matafonua Lodge is a short, 45 minute flight from mainland Tonga. Real Tonga airlines offer multiple daily services to connect with your inbound international flight.

FabOverFifty.com Founder and Editor
When I was born on March 8, 1947, I was one of the first babies who were later designated "boomers." Over 50 million strong, we are the smartest, most accomplished and most active women in history. I should know. I've been around women like this my whole life.
Now that I'm Fab Over Fifty, I wanted to create a website where our dynamic generation of women could share our singular style, exceptional experiences, and brilliant recommendations. We launched FabOverFifty.com in February, 2010, and even if I wasn't the founder, I'd still think it's the best site on the web for women who have so much going for us.
Prior to my work in digital media, I was an editor and publisher at Fairchild Publications for 23 years. I also wrote for publications such as New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, Parents Magazine, the New York Daily News Magazine and daily paper, and co-authored two books, Kid's Stuff and Figure It Out! I became an entrepreneur in 1998 and published magazines for Liz Claiborne and Charming Shoppes, and launched Bene, a magazine about Italian Life and Style that garnered a silver Folio Award.
My blog is about what I'm doing and thinking, and gets pretty personal at times. It's about FOFs I meet all over the place. It's about my take on current events and people as well as on things that happened "back in the day." I never plot and plan what I'm going to write. I'm a pretty off-the-cuff FOF.

More than 1,540 in-person attendees this month at the 5th annual Medellin Bird Festival (Festival de las Aves Medellin 2018) October 3-6 got a bird's-eye view of how companies, governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) here are trying to find creative ways to balance environmental and economic conflicts.
The growing, annual Medellin Bird Festivals – increasingly covered by local, national and international media -- are organized by Sociedad Antioqueña de Ornitologia (SAO) and co-sponsored by the city of Medellin, the Antioquia departmental government and more than 20 private companies and organizations, including the environmentally responsible miner Continental Gold, national electric-grid operator ISA, EAFIT University, Parque Explora, Area Metropolitana del Valle de Aburra and Medellin Herald.
Perhaps no better example of efforts to reconcile environmental and economic conflicts was revealed in a lecture here on a just-concluded, three-year project to study, document, save and relocate threatened birds (and other wildlife) displaced by the gigantic "Hidroituango" hydroelectric dam project in Antioquia.
That hydroelectric dam -- when finally completed around 2021 -- is expected to supply more than 17% of the entire electricity demand in Colombia, providing zero-emissions power to millions of people, homes, buildings -- and a future surge of environmentally friendly electric vehicles.
Hidroituango also is seen crucial to economic futures, as the city of Medellin taps locally based, multinational power giant EPM for an astonishing 25% of its entire annual budget funding.
The Hidroituango environmental studies also ultimately led to the publication of a new book, "Aves del Cañón del Río Cauca" (Birds of the Cauca River Canyon), unveiled here by University of Antioquia and sponsored by EPM, the company building the gigantic Hidroituango power dam.
Among the threatened bird species in the canyon – upstream of the hydroelectric dam -- is the spectacular (and rare) Military Macaw (Ara Militaris), individuals of which have been nesting in cliffside rock cavities soon to be inundated by the rising Cauca River.
As EPM and University of Antioquia researchers explained here, wildlife-rescue experts in recent months have helped to remove and relocate some 40 macaw chicks from various nests – along with capturing and relocating some 2,000 other threatened birds in the area.
EPM meanwhile bought an 800-hectare property in nearby Buritica dedicated for wild-bird relocations, and also built a specialized tree-nursery project in the town of Ituango, which will provide crucial plants to help restore lost habitats.
As EPM noted in a post-Festival press release, "the Cauca River canyon in Antioquia is a marvelous place that hosts a variety of environments including tropical dry forest and humid, pre-montane forests, which provide homes to many species, including more than 300 bird species.
"This [Aves del Cañón del Río Cauca] book, in addition to other environmental studies and projects undertaken in conjunction with the Hidroituango project, shows the responsibility that EPM assumes in social and environmental management," the company added.
On a related front, Medellin's Infrastructure Planning Secretary Silvia Gómez García explained here how the city has just transformed more than 30 heavily trafficked and building-congested areas into "green corridors" in recent months, in a COP$45 billion (US$14 million) project involving the planting of hundreds of trees, bushes and flowers.
Probably the most dramatic example of this is the conversion of the cement "pyramids" formerly bisecting the downtown Avenida Oriental corridor into a spectacular array of tropical flowers, trees and bushes, attracting butterflies and other wildlife, she noted.
Such projects not only improve wildlife habitat but also help to provide a heat sink to cement deserts that unfortunately have over-run Medellin – the "City of Eternal Spring" --over the past 50 years.
Assuming that future Mayors continue this "green corridor" initiative launched by current Mayor Federico Gutierrez, then it's possible to envision future "green" connections between Medellin's main green parks (Cerro Nutibara, Cerro El Volador, Parques del Rio, Parque Arvi) to the green mountains east and west of Medellin and adjacent cities in Valle de Aburra, Gomez noted.
Likewise, Medellin metro council of governments (Area Metropolitano del Valle de Aburra, AMVA) subdirector Maria del Pilar Restrepo noted in a presentation here that adjacent municipalities are taking similar steps to improve green spaces for birds and wildlife, including a regional project that is part-way toward the goal of planting and maintaining more than 1 million new trees.
Other outstanding presentations here included workshops on the "Merlin" cell-phone bird-identification application by Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology researchers Drew Weber and Karen Purcell; a progress update on Medellin's outstanding "Alto de San Miguel" nature reserve in neighboring Caldas municipality; and an update on the just-launched, second-edition "Guia Fotografica de Las Aves del Valle de Aburra" (Photographic Guide to the Birds of the Aburra Valley) published by AMVA and Parque Arvi, in cooperation with Sociedad Antioqueña de Ornitologia.

Boredom and Words of Nothingness | Just the thoughts of a bored human being.
This site was created as a way for me to share reviews and articles with my friends for a club we had back in Middle School. Since then it has evolved many times. But it's mostly just a place where I post my long form thoughts and opinions on different things. Maybe if my writing ever turns into something I will have it evolve once again. But until then, this is what it has become.
I have started selling Younique so there will be new posts including make-up products. It won't be as frequent as my book posts. But the link to my selling page is now added to the About Me page.
The side-bar on the right contains all of the information needed to find posts by topic, by date, and by subscription. The side-bar on the left of the screen contains all of my social media updates and links that are relevant. All of the pages across the top will take you to my contact information, my book recommendations, a list of what I'm currently reading, my posts, and my writing projects.
Disclaimer 1: I have not been paid for any reviews. I do not get paid for anything I post.
Disclaimer 2: I do not edit any of my posts. They are all just stream of consciousness kind of things. So if they are worded poorly or if they have typos, that is why. Usually it is because my brain moves faster than my fingers and forms five different versions of the same sentence resulting in a combination of all of them. Sometimes it's just that I'm tired and/or distracted by the other people who live in my house.
The hair dye is complete! The first two are before, and the rest are after! I love it!! I'm so glad I did it! Taylor at Fantastic Sam's did it, both cut and color!
Got my hair relayered! Can't wait until Saturday when I'm getting the color done too!
First attempt at making pasta. It's very thick. I definitely need a pasta roller thing. Final is pasta, tomatoes, broccoli, eggplant and cheese. Oh and garlic.
Just got the Younique presenters kit! It's so much make up! I'm so excited to play with it!!
So pizza #1 came out a little crispy, and pizza number 2 is a little rectangular. Not taste test approved yet. Update: It's SO good!
Pizza dough attempt 1 results to come.
Just got this in the mail yesterday from @torteen and I'm so excited to read it!!
Just got home from Dave & Buster's! Who knew that all those years of playing the ps2 could get you kitten headphones? Also Katie won the night by getting a hippo from a claw machine and getting a picture with her comic book hero.
Obligatory snow pictures! About 2 feet here.
Batch 1 of blueberry donuts! I switched cinnamon for allspice (for allergy reasons) and we're not sure how we feel about it. Maybe next time I'll only put a little or no spice in at all.

To those who don't have a Word Press these things are great for relieving boredom you should get one but first why not follow mine?

New Leader of the Dorset Branch!
As Joanne winds down (don't worry guys she will still be running all the December events) we realised we would need a new owner of the Dorset branch for it to continue to grow it.
We are now pleased to announce that as of the 13th December 2011 Lynda Swindells from Dorchester will now be the new leader. Lynda has been running her book indexing business for the past 10 years and is really looking forward to networking with you all and meeting new people.
There will be more information to follow on Lynda and how you can contact her shortly.


nice article and highlights of Laos! Luang Prabang is such a fusion of southeast Asian and post-French colonial influences. your images bring back memories of my travels there… elephant rides, jungle treks, waterfalls, night markets, wats (Buddhist temples), and procession of alms at the crack of dawn!
Kelly – Luang Prabang is such an interesting place. Have you been to Pai, Thailand? In our minds, these places have similar vibes. Great locations to unplug while traveling for months on end.

OBITUARY FOR SYLVIA RAE RIVERA
Sylvia Rivera, Stonewall Riot Veteran, and life-long activist for transgender people, died during the dawn hours of February 19, 2002 at New York's St. Vincent's Hospital, of complications from cancer of the liver. She was fifty years old. Born July 2, 1951, her activism developed after leaving home at age 11 and finding herself in the Times Square subculture of the 1960's. The harassment of gay persons, in particular the flamboyant gender variant people such as herself, led her to become a staunch, proud, completely unrepentant, and uncompromising advocate for drag queens, transvestites, transsexuals and other gender variant people throughout her life.
She was present and participated in the Stonewall Riots, which became the determining event in her life. She often remarked about how what had started as just another gay bar raid by the police, took on such mythical significance for the development of the Gay Rights Movement. She joined the Gay Activists Alliance in
February of 1970, and threw herself into the effort to pass the New York City Gay Rights Bill. She was arrested on 42nd Street in Manhattan for demanding her constitutional right to promote a political petition, the only person arrested in the petition drive. She supported the efforts for the bill wholeheartedly, at one point
literally whacking a local politician with a clipboard of petitions at the Village Independent Democrats, which led to that person becoming the first sponsor for the bill. Later she literally scaled the walls of City Hall in a dress and spiked heels in an attempt to gain access to the closed door votes on the original bill. Her first major deception at the hands of the gay movement occurred when drag rights were specifically excluded from the bill to make it more palatable to "straight" people, and reflect the assimilist attitude of the Gay Rights movement at the time. This betrayal was a lesson she carried with her in all her future activism.
In the early days of the gay civil rights movement Rivera was repeatedly used to front possibly dangerous demonstrations, and then shunted aside by assimilationist "leaders" when the press appeared. In the early 1970's Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson co-founded S.T.A.R., Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, an organization designed to achieve rights for her community, and
provide social services to this largely ignored and stigmatized group. For a short while she and Marsha P. Johnson ran S.T.A.R. House which provided shelter for homeless young street queens. Lack of funds and problems with the certificate of occupancy for S.T.A.R. House, forced the abandonment of the venture at that time, but Rivera never lost the dream of creating a supportive and safe living space for young transgender people.
Rivera was greatly disillusioned with the desire of many early gay and lesbian activists to distance the gay movement from transvestites, drag queens, and other gender variant people, in spite of the fact that these people were often the "shock troops" for the entire gay community. Leaving New York City, she passed the latter part of the 1970's until the early 1990's in Tarrytown, New York, pursuing her career as a food services manager with the Marriott Corporation. She remained in contact with the gay political movement, but limited her participation largely to Pride Week
activities each year. During this period she often organized drag shows at clubs in the Tarrytown area.
In the early 1990's Rivera's life fell apart due to substance abuse problems, and she found herself back in New York City, homeless on the Christopher Street piers. She often described this period in very positive terms, pointing out that a group of homeless gay people living on the piers were able to survive by working together and sharing the food and shelter which they could find for themselves. Rivera was banned from the Gay and Lesbian Community Center in New York City because of her agitation at the center on a freezing winter evening when she demanded assistance for the homeless gay people living nearby on the piers. The ban on her participation in Center activities was lifted only in 2000.
Sylvia Rivera was a marcher in the original Christopher Street Liberation Day March in 1970, and participated proudly every year therafter in what later became the New York Heritage of Pride Parade. In 1994 she led the so called "illegal" march up NYC's Fifth Avenue commemorating the 25th anniversary of Stonewall .
In 1997 Rivera joined the Transy House Collective in Park Slope, Brooklyn, a group of transgender people committed to the principles of S.T.A.R. House. At Transy House she helped provide financial assistance and counseling support for young transgender people in the process of gender transition until the time of her death. She was able to resume her total commitment to political activism on behalf
of transgender and homeless people during her time in this collective. She received requests for speaking engagements from transgender and gay groups all over the world, and was particularly popular with young people, the "children" as she called them. In 1999 Sylvia Rivera was an invited guest of the Italian Transgender Organization at the World Pride Celebration, where she addressed the World Pride Rally in Rome.
Rivera intentionally took arrests for political purposes on several occasions in recent years, often as a part of community groups such as Soul Force, the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization, and the NYC Homeless Coalition, in addition to protests on behalf of transgender rights. She became the conscience of the GLBT community, advocating the inclusion for all within the community.
In 2000 Rivera and other trans-activists re-activated S.T.A.R. as theStreet Transgender Action Revolutionaries. Under her leadership S.T.A.R. was instrumental in achieving a more inclusive approach toward transgender people by the Human Rights Organization, and in the organization of the New York State Transgender Coalition, which is presently conducting a campaign for the inclusion of trans people in the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act. Rivera and S.T.A.R. conducted the rally at the historic Intro 754 hearings on trans-inclusion in the NYC non-discrimination ordinance, where she received a standing ovation from the Councilmembers present as well as the overflowing gallery. She organized the Amanda Milan Rally in 2001, and S.T.A.R. continued to be the focal point for political action related to Amanda's murder in front of Port Authority while taxi drivers applauded.
Sylvia Rivera's literary profile in Martin Duberman's best selling book Stonewall, as well as chapters in other books and magazines made many people aware of her uncompromising and totally committed focus on civil rights for all people. Rivera received lifetime achievement awards from many organizations, including the Puerto Rican Gay and Lesbian Association of New York, the Neutral Zone Youth Organization of New York, the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition, AmBoyz Organization, and the MCC-NY Recognition for Lifetime Activism Starting with Stonewall, and many others.
Literally hours before her death in her hospital room at St. Vincent's, Rivera met with a delegation from the Empire State Pride Agenda to negotiate for the inclusion of trans rights in the current SONDA bill pending in the New York State Legislature. Restricted to bed, attached to tubes and monitors, in severe pain, she was determined not to let the mainstream gays get their rights at the expense of the trans community one more time. In recent years, Sylvia Rivera became an active member of the Metropolitan Community Church of New York, at which she was the director of the food service program for people in the community, and a leader in the MCC-NY Gender People program. The support of the church was very important to the political work she was carrying out in her last years.
Sylvia Rivera is survived by her life partner and lover, Julia Murray, and the hundreds of her "children," people she helped in both a practical and spiritual way by her determination and example throughout her life. Sylvia Rivera was an inspiration to several generations of GLBT activists around the world.
Funeral Services will be held at the MCC-NY Church, 36th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues, in Manhattan at 7:00PM on Tuesday, February 26, 2002. The service will be followed by a memorial in front of the Stonewall Inn, from which her ashes will be carried in a horse drawn carriage to the Christopher Street piers, where the youth will place a wreath, near the spot where Sylvia's long-time fellow
activist Marsha P. Johnson died.
There will be a viewing at the Redden Funeral Home, 14th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues, in Manhattan, on the evening of Friday, February 22, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Information on arrangements are available from Transy House, 718-832-
1080, or the MCC-NY.

"He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of My people He was stricken" (Isaiah 53:8).
"Now it was not written for his [Abraham's] sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification" (Romans 4:23-25). "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). "For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present" (1 Corinthians 15:3-6a).
(1) Each Saturday ALN posts an example of a Hebrew Scriptures prophecy (or foreshadowing) related to the coming Messiah which was fulfilled in the birth, life, death, or resurrection of Jesus Christ.
(2) While extensive it will not be a complete list—there are hundreds of prophecies of the coming Messiah which have been fulfilled by one man—Jesus Christ at His First Coming.
(3) It is important that there are many more prophecies of the Messiah, yet unfulfilled, which Christians believe will be fulfilled at the time of His Second Coming. A particularly relevant Scripture verse in this regard is: "Do not despise prophesies" (1 Thessalonians 5:20).
(4) These posts will typically consist only of Scripture—which speaks for itself. Sometimes italicized or bold font will be used by ALN for emphasis.
(5) The numbering of these fulfilled prophecies of the Messiah is used to differentiate individual posts. It is not chronological (either by time of the prophecy or by sequence in the life of the Messiah). The posting sequence will, for the most part, be in the order that the prophecies appear in Scripture.
(6) Because of the chosen methodology (#5 above) we will find many specific prophecies repeated multiple times throughout the Scriptures.

It has been more than three years since Michael Tyree died in Santa Clara County's main jail. Three guards were convicted of murder and, yet, we are still waiting for justice.
Justice is more than punishment for Tyree's murderers. Justice is also the enactment of jail reforms to ensure that both our inmates and guards are protected and held accountable.
The death of Tyree was not an isolated incident. Rather, his murder was part of a pattern of issues that have long plagued our jails. In May 2017, nearly two years after Tyree's death, 62-year-old Edwin Davis Jr. was beaten to death at the Elmwood jail facility. Davis, who suffered from mental illness, was housed in the same cell with another mentally ill inmate, despite the warning from custody health staff that the facility had a lack of properly trained custody health personnel.
Santa Clara County created a blue-ribbon commission on improving custody operations to evaluate jail operations in the aftermath of Tyree's murder. The commission identified more than 173 issues that needed to be addressed, the most important of which was independent civilian oversight. But still, the issue of lack of oversight remains. What we need is the creation of a permanent independent civilian oversight body, in addition to the current Ombudsman Office.
The incumbent sheriff has had three years to create an agency to provide independent oversight of allegations of misconduct of all officers under the sheriff's command — deputies who patrol our streets and correctional deputies who guard jail inmates, many of whom, like Tyree, are mentally ill. Three years later there is no such agency. What is the sheriff waiting for? Another preventable death of an inmate?
Thirty-five percent of inmates in our jails have mental health issues, are homeless or are awaiting trial. Inmates are a vulnerable population under the care of guards who may not have the training, resources or staffing to properly handle each situation. Instead of asking for money to implement resources for training our deputies, the sheriff has been fiscally irresponsible in her most recent budget requests asking for a multi-million-dollar expenditure to buy a second helicopter. All the while she has been wildly overspending on overtime, doubling the salaries of political supporters and other favored employees.
However, as an elected official, the sheriff is only accountable to the voters.
I ask that you hold the sheriff's office to the highest level of accountability and vote for new leadership that will ensure that real reforms and change in our jail operations happen. When I am elected your sheriff on Nov. 6, I will ensure that the honorable women and men who put on their uniforms each day to serve in our jails and on our streets have the tools and appropriate oversight to enable them to do the best that they can for all of us.
John Hirokawa is a candidate for Santa Clara County sheriff.


A federal lawsuit claims Hammond police overreacted when they smashed a car window and used a stun gun on a passenger during a traffic stop. The incident, recorded by one of the passengers, happened around 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 24, 2014, when Lisa Mahone was pulled over as she drove with a friend, Jamal Jones, and her two children, according to the lawsuit.
A man who was the subject of a 2014 Hammond traffic stop that made national news is set to go to trial late this summer.
Cellphone video circulated online after Jamal Jones and his girlfriend, Lisa Mahone, along with a 14-year-old and 7-year-old in the back seat, were stopped Sept. 25, 2014, at 169th Street and Cline Avenue. The couple filed a federal lawsuit claiming Hammond police officers used excessive force when they used a stun gun and broke a window, records show.
Jones, 30, of Hammond, was charged with resisting law enforcement, court records show. He said after the incident that he didn't get out because he was afraid of the police.
At a hearing Monday afternoon, Judge Nicholas Schiralli scheduled Jones' jury trial to begin Aug. 20. Aside from setting the court date, the rest of the five-minute-or-so hearing was conducted at the bench where attorneys spoke privately with the judge. A gag order was previously put in place in the case.
Jones previously had a mistrial in October 2016 after one of the witnesses mentioned another alleged unlawful force incident by an officer while the witness was being cross-examined, according to Jones' attorney, Scott King.
During the traffic stop in 2014, officers stopped Lisa Mahone for an alleged seat belt violation. The situation escalated after police asked Jones, who was in the front passenger seat, for his identification, but Jones said he did not have it on him, according to court documents.
Police ordered Jones to exit the car multiple times, but Jones did not comply, saying he refused because he was afraid of the officers, according to the lawsuit. Officers said they became concerned when Jones reached in the back of the car, but Mahone and Jones argue the officers' reaction was excessive.
Jamal Jones talks about his alleged abuse by a Hammond police officer during a press conference at their attorney office in Chicago, Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014.
Mahone's teenage son filmed part of the stop from the back seat of the vehicle. In the video, a child is heard crying after police broke a window and removed Jones from the vehicle, using a stun gun and putting him in handcuffs.
The video of the traffic stop spread across the internet and national media as discussion about excessive force made headlines. About a month and a half before the traffic stop, Michael Brown was fatally shot by police in Ferguson, Mo., leading to riots in that community.
The federal lawsuit has lingered for months as attorneys file status reports updating the progress of Jones' criminal case. The next status report is due Friday, federal records show.
Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. previously said he was adament that he did not want to settle the civil case.
"I can tell you I'm still not interested in settling that case for even one dollar," he said.
