Is This the End of Facebook Advertising?
'Decentralization' is becoming a huge point of discussion in the finance industry – and for good reason. Using blockchain technology, it has the potential to completely change the entire process of marketing in ways that were previously unthinkable.
Most importantly, these are changes that are set to benefit everyone. The big question is: how will they affect the average, everyday Internet user?
The marketing industry has experienced some drastic changes over the past few years. In particular, we've witnessed the rise of social media marketing. As it stands, all of our major social media websites are centralized organizations that allow people to use their platforms in exchange for their personal data.
In addition, when companies or individuals pay to have their products advertised on a website, or even simply to share information, the corporation – such as Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube – will reap all of the benefits. Meanwhile, the users of these websites receive nothing.
Facebook is currently the most popular social network, and therefore one of the most popular information sharing websites. As of 2017, it had 2 billion monthly active users, and 1 billion daily active users.
Right now, if you want to share information about your product or service on Facebook, you have to set up a campaign on the website and select who you want to target based on information such as their age, location, interests, etc. All of the budget you spend on this campaign will go directly to Facebook.
Despite the millions of dollars of research that has gone into Facebook's advertising algorithms, there is still one fatal flaw: one of the major ways we make our purchasing decisions is through recommendations from people we trust.
This means that one of the most effective ways to share information is through referrals from regular users. However, because these centralized platforms are keeping all of the revenue for themselves, there is currently little incentive for users to share information about the products that interest them.
As a result, we have no choice but to rely on these largely inaccurate targeting methods, often throwing away large amounts of money in the process.
Thanks to blockchain technology, multiple companies are already starting to explore new ways to share valuable content in more effective ways.
Because studies have shown that we trust recommendations from our family and friends and people we know on an average of five times more than we trust celebrities, it only makes sense that referrals from family and friends and people we trust and know on a personal level is one of the most effective ways to share information.
One of the companies leveraging this incentive technology to change the way our current referral system works is 2Key.
2Key works in a similar way to Facebook, in that it allows users to define a campaign, choose how much they want to spend overall, and then roll it out to other users.
If users enjoy it, they will then share it will their friends, who will then share it with their friends, and ultimately create a chain of people who liked the content and have shared it. This will continue until the goal has been reached or the funding runs out.
The best thing about this model is that everyone who has been involved in the sharing chain and has made a positive impact will get paid for their efforts. This ultimately results in a real network effect and a real sharing economy.
Users will be rewarded based on how much of an impact they have made by sharing the post. For instance, if the post you shared is seen by a lot of people and is ranked highly by users, you will receive more 'points' on your profile, and therefore receive a higher share of the reward.
Alternatively, if your shared content is seen by few people and is ranked negatively by users, you will lose 'points' on your profile.
What is the Purpose of an Incentive-Based Sharing Economy?
Ultimately, the goal is to create a world of valuable shared content that doesn't involve spam or irrelevant content. Such a model will force people to think hard about the type of content they will share, and also to consider who will find it most valuable.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly of all, the creation of decentralized sharing economy brings us yet another step closer to taking back control of our personal information from big tech giants like Facebook and YouTube and putting it back into the hands of those who matter most – the users.
wow looking forward to trying this!
great team behind excellent idea. Good luck 2key!

Here are two pics of some Panaeolus tropicalis on sterilised dung/straw/vermiculite. This mixture was sterilised in autoclavable spawnbags and inoculated with rye grain spawn. After it had fully colonised it was cased with peat/vermic/lime mixture.
This is such a fast species......Mushrooms grown from pins to full size within 5 days!

Looking good una, what is the cap size?
I'm thinking of making one jar 720 ml rye for the pan trop! This weekend it's gonna be innoculated, how many one litre boxes can be made from one jar rye? 3?
Peace and good luck with your new buisness!!!
Edited by Una on 05/17/01 02:15 AM.
Looking good, nice shrooms, I would love to eat some of my own grown, when I try out soon!
Edited by paddoholland on 05/17/01 02:17 AM.
It looks like you did a very good job, congratulations!
i hope you make use of your beloved ones with care and utmost respect.
Into the journey we follow ourselves, and into the fire our eyes fall; Cast down the shackles of the body and slip from within our mind.
Great job!! Welcome to the club!
Have you attempted to print any? They can be alittle tricky. Most prints will be light(that I have seen). You can get good dark prints from these just like the cubes but it is all in the timing. You have to look very closely to the underside, you will see when they are hanging heavy with spores. If you see any sign of sporres on the stems they are ready(or possibaly past time) to print.
Whel just wanted 2 ask something.
Will this cause less yield?
* Presoak the grass seed for one night in water.
* Add water to the dung/vermic mixture until fully wet but not soggy.
* Mix equal parts of soaked grass seed and dung/vermic mxiture.
* Sterile the dung/vermic/grass seed mixture for 2 hours in autoclave bags.
* Let the bags cool in the laminar flow cabinet.
* Inoculate the bags with 300 ml of colonised rye grain spawn.
* Seal the bags with an impulse sealer.
* Shake the bags every 3-4 days.
* After 10 days the mixture is completely colonised and the bags are cut open.
* The mixture is filled into 1 liter trays and cased with 1 cm of peat/lime/vermic/ mixture.
* The trays are put in a clear plastic bin to induce fruiting. They are watered daily.
* After 5 days pins formed and these developed into mature mushrooms in 6 days.
Beware that pressure cooking the dung mixture will seriuously make your kitchen smell like a farm!!!
That is great, can't wait for the spores, still can't believe i won. Oh just a quick question on you site the $1=2.50fl conversion uses us dollars right? You guyd got me all exsited about growing these babies.
any advice or links to teks on growing these babies? I'm really worried, I don't have autoclave bags, and never used rye grains.
Time to buy some, eh? Considering the strain I'd say so.
Happy to see info about timing the prints.
I know, I've already printed this out.
Because you only talk about parts, we had to guess the weight with water. Next time we use more gras seed. But we will report with recipe when we have (or don't have) succes with the Pan Trop. We innoculated a jar with agar saturday, bags with dung/verm./gras seed have been pc'ed. The farm smell was not as bad as we thought!

Providing consumers with innovative services for more than 150 years, Western Union is an established leader in electronic and cash bill-payment solutions. We introduced our first consumer-to-consumer money transfer service in 1871 and began offering consumer-to-business bill payment services in 1989 with the introduction of the Western Union Quick Collect® service, providing consumers in the United States with convenient walk-in agent network locations where they can pay bills in cash.
In 2008, our comprehensive suite of services has grown to include Speedpay® – an electronic bill payment option that provides businesses with Internet, IVR, desktop, mobile payments, online banking and call center solutions, as well as e-bill presentment with payments and interactive outbound messaging integrated with payment processing.
Western Union's electronic and cash bill payment services provide consumers with fast, convenient ways to send one-time or recurring payments to a broad spectrum of industries. At Western Union we have relationships with more than 6,000 businesses and organizations that receive consumer payments, including utilities, auto finance companies, mortgage servicers, financial service providers and government agencies. These relationships form a core component of our consumer-to-business payment service and are one reason we were able to process 404 million consumer-to-business transactions in 2007.
Electronic payments. Consumers and billers use our Speedpay® service in the United States and the United Kingdom to make consumer payments to a variety of billers using credit cards, ATM cards and debit cards, and via ACH withdrawal. Payments are initiated through multiple channels, including biller-hosted websites, westernunion.com, IVR units, Online Banking websites and call centers.
Cash payments. Consumers use our Quick Collect® or Prepaid® services to send guaranteed funds to businesses and government agencies using cash (and in select locations, debit cards). Quick Collect is available at nearly 60,000 Western Union agent locations across the United States and Canada, while our Prepaid service can be accessed at more than 40,000 U.S. locations. Consumers can also use our Convenience Pay® service to send payments by cash or check from a smaller number of agent locations primarily to utilities and telecommunication providers.
Our electronic payment services are available primarily through an IVR, over the Internet and via Call Center using a desktop application while speaking with a biller's customer service representative. Through our Quick Pay® service, it is possible to receive payments sent from outside the United States or Canada from over 320,000 agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. We work in partnership with our billers to market our services to consumers in a number of ways, including direct mail, Email, Internet and point-of-sale advertising.
In late 2007, Western Union launched its Online Banking initiative, helping to change the way consumers pay their bills. The channel accelerates the speed with which billers receive payment from two to four days to a next-day or same-day delivery, and enables Western Union Payment Services to process bill payments initiated by consumers from their banks' online banking sites.
Western Union plans to work with the nation's largest banks to provide your customers with a new class of online banking payment that allows them to make same- and next-day payments that are posted and funded to you faster and are of a higher quality than other online banking payments currently available.
While the benefits of electronic bill presentment and payment are compelling for both billers and consumers, low consumer adoption rates have prevented billers from fully realizing the cost savings and improved customer service levels these services promote. Western Union® Payment Services aims to change this through its integration with Striata® Email bill presentment and payment (EBPP) solutions.
With this integrated, encrypted Email bill presentment and one-click payment service, consumers no longer need to register to receive their bill electronically, visit a separate website to download the bill and send a payment, or remember multiple user names and passwords. By removing these extra steps from the process, these services become dramatically easier to use for consumers.
The critical differentiator of the Western Union/Striata service is that the entire e-bill is delivered directly into the consumer's in-box as an encrypted off-line attachment, enabling payment to be sent through the e-bill itself using the Western Union® Speedpay service. While complementary to existing online presentment solutions, this "push" Email billing offering can be more successful at driving adoption.

"International Workers Day/May Day:History and Significance!!!"
May 1 or May day many would identify it just as a predetermined holiday. Even many would planned their vacation and fun time, It's not the mistake of u and me. Our history never gave us the real taste of workers movement and significance of May day. A Historic day in every working class movement but lost its significance over the years due to improper awareness about the day. Let's look into the history for importance of may day.
May day is celebrated as International workers day in remembrance with Haymarket Affair, Chicago 1986. May 1 declared as international workers day by second International on 1890. Chicago workers were first to organize 8 hours worker movement during Haymarket affair.
The first of May was originally celebrated by pagans throughout Europe as the beginning of summer, which was recognized as a day of fertility (both for the first spring planting and sexual intercourse). A maypole was oftentimes erected for young women and men to dance around and entwine the ribbons they carried with one another to find a mate... at least for the night. The ancient Celts and Saxons celebrated the day as Beltane, the day of fire, in honor of the god of the sun; beginning their celebrations at midnight; soon acquiring the label Walpurgisnacht, or night of the witches.
Persecution of May Day began as early as the 1600s; in 1644 the British Parliament banned its practice as immoral, with the Church bringing its full force to bear across the spectrum. Governments throughout Europe were largely ineffective in outlawing these celebrations, and thus the Church took a different approach – it attempted to assimilate the festivities by naming Saints days on the first of May. These efforts led to the destruction of May Day in some places, but the traditions and customs of May Day continued to remain strong throughout much of the peasantry of Europe, whose ties to one another and nature were far stronger than their ties to the ruling class and its religion. Celebrations became increasingly festive, especially at night when huge feasts, song, dance and free love were practiced throughout the night.
After the revolutions of capitalism, the roots and principles of the tradition survived to various extents, with workers across Europe celebrating the first of May as the coming of spring and a day of sexual fertility. Most mythical and religious sentiments faded away, but the spirit of the festival in expressing the love of nature and one another gained strength.
Haymarket massacre:
In 1884, the U.S. Federation of Organized Trade and Labor Unions had passed a law declaring that, as of May 1, 1886, an eight hour workday would be the full and legal workday for all U.S. workers – the ruling class had that much time to recognize this new law and put it into effect. The owners refused.
On May 1, 1886, workers took to the streets in a general strike throughout the entire country to force the ruling class to recognize the eight-hour working day. Over 350,000 workers across the country directly participated in the general strike, with hundreds of thousands of workers joining the marches as best they could.
In what they would later call the Haymarket riots, during the continuing strike action on May third in Chicago, the heart of the U.S. labor movement, the Chicago police opened fire on the unarmed striking workers at the McCormick Reaper Works, killing six workers and wounding untold numbers. An uproar across the nation resounded against the government and its police brutality, with workers' protest rallies and demonstrations throughout the nation set to assemble on the following day.
On May 4, Chicago members of the anarchist IWPA (International Working Peoples' Association) organized a rally of several thousand workers at Haymarket Square to protest the continuing police brutality against striking workers on the South Side. As the last speaker finished his remarks that rainy evening, with only 200 of the most dedicated workers remaining at the rally, 180 armed police marched forward and demanded the workers to disperse. Then, deep within the police ranks, a bomb exploded, killing seven cops. The police opened fire on the unarmed workers – the number of workers wounded and killed by the cops is unknown to this day. Eight anarchists were arrested on charges of "inciting riot" and murder. The retaliation of the government was enormous in the days to follow, filling every newspaper with accusations, completely drowning the government murders and brutality of days past.
Eight workers were convicted as anarchists, were convicted of murder, and were convicted of inciting a riot. Only one of the eight men accused was present at the protest, and he was attempting to address the crowd when the bomb went off. In one of the greatest show trials in the history of the working-class movement no evidence was ever produced to uphold the accusations, though all eight were convicted as guilty. Four of the prisoners – Albert Parsons, August Spies, George Engel and Adolph Fisher – were executed, Louis Lingg committed suicide (His face was blasted with dynamite), and the three remaining were pardoned due to immense working class upheaval in 1893.
Most painful would be were statue of Haymarket hero's were demolished and police statue resurrected (even after two demolished). Too make May day loose significance America simply altered its workers day to September first Monday that to as labor day.
Second International:
On May 1, 1890, in accordance with the decision of the Paris Congress (July 1889) of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket red flag was here created as the symbol that would always remind us of the blood that the working-class has bleed, and continues to bleed, under the oppressive reign of capitalism.
Martyrs, mass demonstrations and strikes were held throughout Europe and America. The workers put forward the demands for an 8 hour working day, better health conditions, and further demands set forth by the International Association of Workers. The
From that day forward (starting in 1891 in Russia, by 1920 including China, and 1927 India) workers throughout the world began to celebrate the first of May as a day of international proletarian solidarity, fighting for the right of freedom to celebrate their past and build their future without the oppression and exploitation of the capitalist state.
It's a international important day to take forward 8 working hours demand. Even after 200 years we are still cant attain 8 hours working day passed.Capital and capitalist projected wrongly about the history of workers movement, So today May day as became a day of fun and frolic. It's the day to gain class consciousness unit workers in one voice against capitalist. We need to take forward our fight for 8 hours working day,better wages,better working condition,lower of inflation,building public property,strengthen labor law etc.Our ultimate aim of May day would be to build a stateless,classless,casteless,religiousless, society with permanent love and peace.
My dear comrades never forget what Spies shouted during execution in Chicago.Spies shouted, "The time will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today!"

Title: Prostituted Youth in New York City: An Overview
Author(s): Mia Spangenberg
Corporate Author: ECPAT-USA
Date Published: March 2001
Sponsoring Agency: ECPAT-USA
Sale Source: ECPAT-USA
475 Riverside Drive, Room 830
Publisher: http://www.ecpat.com
Type: Report (Study/Research)
Format: Document
Annotation: This report discusses the dynamics and ramifications of child prostitution in the microcosm of New York City.
Abstract: As defined by ECPAT-USA, "child prostitution" involves "the sexual exploitation of the vulnerability of children for cash or some other form of pay, and it may involve an intermediary like a pimp." This report focuses on prostituted and trafficked youth on the streets, the most visible and accessible population. Although it is virtually impossible to know how many underage youth are involved in various forms of child prostitution, Susan Breault of the Paul and Lisa Program estimates that there are approximately 5,000 youth and children involved in prostitution in New York City. Some who have worked with these youth have observed that the average age of girls entering prostitution in recent years has decreased from 14- to 13-years-old, with some being as young as 12-years-old. Boys cater primarily to the homosexual population, and there is little research on boys in prostitution in general or in New York City in particular. Sexually exploited youth in New York City reflect the ethnic diversity of the city. The overwhelming majority of sexually exploited youth are runaways or castaways from dysfunctional homes, where they have suffered physical, psychological, and sexual abuse. Sexual abuse in particular is cited as a leading cause of attraction to the sex trade; up to 80 and 90 percent of prostituted youth have been sexually abused. The risk for sexual exploitation for homeless youth on the streets is high due to their survival needs and the lack of an adequate social safety net to care for them. In New York City, there are only about 500 beds in shelters for the estimated 15,000-20,000 homeless youth. Drug abuse can also be a factor that drives youth into prostitution. Children involved in prostitution face such risk factors as AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, potential pregnancy, and especially violence from clients and pimps. Clearly there are insufficient services to provide sexually exploited youth with the opportunities and support necessary for them to leave and recover from sexual exploitation and other abuses. Further, there is inadequate research on such youth, inadequate prevention programs, and a lack of acknowledgement by policymakers that there is a problem of sexually exploited youth in New York City. In an effort to address these deficiencies, ECPAT-USA and its partners, the International Organization for Adolescents and Girls Education Mentoring Services, have founded the New York City Task Force on the Sexual Exploitation of Young People. By building a network of people interested in eradicating commercial sexual exploitation of youth, doing collaborative research, and educating and involving youth themselves, the task force aims to change attitudes and obtain the necessary resources to provide services for sexually exploited youth and prevent the further proliferation of this form of child abuse. 72 footnotes

Welcome to Understanding Obesity's program. This video will introduce you to obesity, as well as the resources available to you here on this website.
…and I'm Dr. Phillips. In the United States, the number of Americans who indulge in unhealthy diets and inactive lifestyles has grown at an alarming rate. As a result, approximately one in three American adults is considered obese. What may be even more surprising is that being overweight or obese is a problem among active duty service members as well. While these conditions are less prevalent than in the general adult population, they're still a problem.
These trends have led to an increased likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer among those who are obese. In addition, medical costs for those who are obese can be significantly higher than costs for people who maintain a healthy weight.
That's right, Dr. Reynolds. In this program, we'll explain what obesity is and how it affects the body. We'll describe the symptoms of obesity, as well as explore some of the treatment options. And, we'll talk about some of the things people can do to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
Finally, we'll introduce you to several patients who share their personal experiences with obesity and its consequences.
Keep in mind, there may be terms that you're not familiar with, so please visit our glossary at any time, and be sure to check out the other resources included in this program. Thank you for joining us.

Hello everyone! My name is Colette Davies-Eltom and I am currently in my 22 year of teaching. I have had the opportunity to teach Grades 1 through 8, Special Education and Learning Resource, all along teaching fabulous kids!
I decided fall of 2017 to go back to school to complete my Masters in EC&I. It has been a remarkable journey and I am thrilled to be taking class number 7! I believe in life-long learning and am completely enjoying this process. Feeling a little sorry for my husband as our youngest child started university this past fall; so there are three students in the house.
Blended learning is fairly new to me. I hope to further develop my understanding of blended and online learning practices. I hope to be able to critically develop and evaluate blended and online lessons in order to teacher to the diversity of my learners. I look forward to conversing with others in regards to the trends in technology and how to utilize technology to it fullest capacity. It is going to be a terrific semester.

Making students curious: Using an app-based walking tour as a pedagogical tool
In this post, Dr Niki Vermeulen, a Senior Lecturer in History & Sociology of Science, describes how Principal's Teaching Award Scheme funding helped her and her colleagues develop an innovative app-based walking tour to complement the History of Science course…
Curious Edinburgh is an app-based walking tour which showcases the many buildings and places in the city of Edinburgh which are connected to the history of science, technology and medicine. It was originally developed for undergraduate students following courses on the history of science and medicine to connect their learning to the city in which they study. History is literally on the streets here in Edinburgh, and so we are taking the classroom into the city through the app.
The story of Curious Edinburgh starts in 2014, when I arrived in Edinburgh to take over the History of Science course, which emeritus Prof John Henry had been teaching for over 30 years. In my first month, John organised a tour through Edinburgh to show students and staff some of the sites that were important in the history of medicine and developments in science and engineering. Starting at the Old Surgeons Hall, which used to be the place where bodies were cut open for anatomy lessons, we went to the Old College where the university first began. We followed on to the National Museum of Scotland, which once used to be part of the university. In fact, the connection is still there in the form of a bridge between the Old College and the museum which is now out of use. Opposite the museum you can see the heads belonging to the infamous phrenology society… and the tour continued… (you can follow it further on the app).
That day I learned many new stories woven into the fabric of the city, which I wanted to capture, preserve and integrate in teaching. However, as the courses on history of science and medicine are electives serving over 500 students from across all disciplines, it is impossible to take them all on a tour through the city. Therefore the development of a digital walking tour app made a lot of sense: we could present our stories to everyone interested: students, staff, alumni, citizens and tourist alike.
With the great help of Bill Jenkins (now in St. Andrews), Matjaz Vidmar, Kate Bowell and many others, we have been able to develop the digital project to what it is now. We integrated it into the course assessment – students need to write an essay about a place in Edinburgh – and also added specific thematic tours: from history of physics, geology and genetics, to the history of Enlightenment. Moreover, people wanting to develop new tours connected to us: first academics working with the Jewish community of Edinburgh and on connections with India, and then also community organisations like granton:hub and EVOC who have helped us to explore and map the social history of Edinburgh further. We will also link-up with UncoverEd to highlight diversity, and have many other plans and ideas, so watch this space!
I hope that our work is making students and other app-users see the city with different eyes. Edinburgh is beautiful as it is, but adding a historical layer to the city, opening-up the many stories that have formed the city and its future, is certainly adding to its appeal as a city of knowledge with a social heart and an international outlook.

On Safari with the Chicago Archaeological Society
Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
If there are fundamental reason for studying anthropology and cultivating a compelling interest in archaeology the above starting rhetorical questions may be a preliminary beginning.
During the passage of eight months of a CAS Program season CAS members span the globe, with the guidance of superb speakers searching for the truth of humankind.
During 2016-2017 we traveled to Armenia, visited an Egyptian gallery of ancestors, explored ancient structures of Gobekli Tepe (the world's oldest temple) in Turkey, and marveled at the genius of Peruvian engineers who converted the challenging altiplano, often harsh and even cruel, of the Andes to a horn of plenty. These remark-able adventures come to us through the ceaseless efforts of Vice President Lucy Kennedy, thank you Lucy!
The season is climaxed in May but year after year illusive truth keeps her distance and like Oliver we want more, please! Odd-ly unable to find illusive truth during an eighth month lecture program officers plan a one day Summer Safari—a penultimate effort so-to-speak. Early in 2017 Mike Ruggeri and Ray Young proposed a visit to Beloit College and the Logan Museum. The Logan is no stranger to the CAS, but a warm invitation from Curator Dan Bartlett was a superb decision.
The Safari visit included a sur-vey of the surviving Indian Mounds. The Beloit College campus features 20 conical, lin-ear, and animal effigy mounds built between about AD 400 and 1200. One, in the form of a turtle, has inspired the symbol (and unofficial mascot) of the College. Sara Pfannkuche escorted the CAS group on a cam-pus tour of the mounds providing encyclopedic details of their history.
The Logan Museum houses approximately 15,000 ethnographic and over 200,000 archaeological objects from 129 countries and more than 600 cultural groups. Collections de-rive from research expeditions, field schools, gifts, exchanges, and purchases. The museum's diversity and the fact that it is a teaching institution has attract-ed global attention e.g. a group of French archaeologists traveled to Beloit to study the Paleolithic collection.
Most importantly the museum is a teaching museum! Dan Bartlett prepared a special exhibition for CAS Traveling Explor-ers—WE SAW AND HANDLED IMPLEMENTS USED BY OUR PREDECESSORS FROM THE ACHEULEAN THROUGH THE MOUSTERIAN and TO THE AURIGNACION!
Still searching for answers to the headline questions I was momentarily transformed as I reached out, spanning a time gap of 500,000 years, give or take a millennium or so, and actually touched the past.
The 2017 Safari ended with a fun luncheon at the downtown Bushel and Peck's Restaurant and the awarding of the CAS Certificate of Appreciation to Dan Bartlett.

FBI Opens Domestic Terrorism Investigation Into Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting
The suspected shooter had a "target list" that included religious institutions and political organizations related to both major political parties, officials said.

The FBI has opened a domestic terrorism investigation into the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting in Gilroy, California, which left three people dead and more than a dozen injured last month, officials announced Tuesday.
John Bennett, the FBI's agent in charge in San Francisco, said the agency took over the case from the Gilroy Police Department to launch a "full, predicated FBI investigation" after discovering the potential existence of an ideological motive.
"We have not made a final investigative conclusion into the motive of the shooter. However, we have uncovered evidence ... that the shooter was exploring violent ideologies," Bennett said Monday during a news conference.
Bennett said the shooter, 19-year-old Santino William Legan, had a "target list" that included "religious institutions, federal buildings, courthouses, political organizations from both major political parties, and the Gilroy Garlic Festival."
"We have seen a fractured ideology," he said. "The shooter appeared to have an interest in varying, competing violent ideologies."
A spokeswoman for the FBI declined to provide additional details about the groups targeted by the shooter in an effort to "protect their privacy and safety."
Officials say they believe Santino cut through a fence to gain access to the food festival on July 28 before opening fire on attendees, killing two children ― a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl ― as well as a man in his 20s.
The shooter, who wore a bullet-resistant vest, fired approximately 39 rounds into the crowd using an AK-47-style rifle during the attack, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said Tuesday.
The Santa Clara County medical examiner said Friday that the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, contradicting initial police reports that officers fatally shot him soon after arriving on the scene.
The gunman was hit multiple times by police gunfire, though the medical examiner has not yet determined exactly where and how many rounds hit him, Smithee said.
Santino's family said in a statement Tuesday that they are "deeply shocked and horrified" by his actions and denounced the "hateful thoughts and ideologies" that inspired the shooting.
"We want to express our deepest and sincerest apologies for the loss and pain that he has caused," they wrote in the statement. "To the City of Gilroy and to everyone affected, we are tremendously sorry. No words can begin to express this."

Santino did not leave behind a manifesto, officials said Monday. Investigators are working to determine a possible motive behind the shooting and have not ruled out white supremacy, Bennett said.
Days after the Gilroy shooting, a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 people and injuring two dozen others. Police arrested him and discovered a manifesto he had written that railed against a so-called "Hispanic invasion of Texas." That shooting is also being investigated as a domestic terrorism case, officials said Sunday.
To the surprise of many Americans, there is no federal charge that broadly outlaws acts of domestic terrorism, though plenty of former counterterrorism officials and a group of FBI agents say there should be.
The lack of a federal terrorism statute applicable to non-Muslim shooters has typically made federal officials hesitant to call domestic terrorists what they are, even when the suspects are dead.
But amid a national debate over the disparate treatment of white supremacist terrorists and terrorists motivated by Islamic extremism ― as well as critiques of the FBI's handling of the threat of domestic terrorism ― federal officials have recently become less cautious about labeling acts of domestic terrorism as such.
This article has been updated with further information about the shooter's cause of death.

7 Insane Things That Will Compel You To Watch 'The Mummy'
by Vidushi Sagar
in Hollywood, Movies, News
We've all watched 'The Mummy' starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Released in 1999, the movie extended into a series of the two next films called 'The Mummy Returns' and the 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor'. Imhotep was the cursed mummy priest that Weisz and Fraser fought in the first two movies. The third movie beckoned to an evil Mummy Emperor of China and his plans to conquer the world.
This time, The Mummy returns with an entirely fresh cast, fresh plot, and franchise. When an ancient princess is woken up from her prison-crypt under the desert, she rises with her evil powers, destined to make the world as her own. Releasing on this 9th June in India, here are 7 reasons why you must not miss this horror flick.
This is the first Mummy movie featuring a female Mummy lead.
This time the ancient mummy invoked from its death sleep will be Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), an Egyptian goddess that was the companion of Amun- the 'Kings of the God' of Egypt.
This is the first collaboration between Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe.
Both are Oscar-nominated actors.
This will be the introduction and the character set up of Dr. Jekyll for a standalone film in the Universal's monster universe.
Before Russell Crowe, Javier Bardem, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Eddi Redmayne were all considered to play Dr. Henry Jekyll.
The film features a plane crash scene that was shot on the Zero gravity airplane called 'Vomit Comet.'
This scene took almost 64 takes and was shot for 2 continuous days in a falling plane. Except for the main stars Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis, most of the crew got nauseous and vomited.
This is the first installation in a probable Universal Monster's shared Universe.
This movie comes full circle with its introduction line – "A New World of Gods and Monsters".
This particular tagline has been taken from a line in the 'Bride of Frankenstein' (1935). This line is also inspired by the title of the film 'Gods and Monsters' (1998), which starred Brendan Fraser, lead of 1999 Mummy franchise.
The writer of the film is the celebrated director Christopher McQuarrie, who has also previously directed Tom Cruise in 'Jack Reacher' and 'Mission Impossible- Rogue Nation'.

Chef/Partner Mark Dommen
Mark Dommen is a unique talent who has spent more than 20 years in the kitchen. After years of classical training with some of the world's most eminent culinary masters, Dommen's move to head One Market® Restaurant in 2004 marked his exciting return to the San Francisco dining scene. His modern take on American cuisine earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 2008-2012 and a 3 ½ star review from San Francisco Chronicle critic Michael Bauer. Dommen was also named a 2007 StarChefs.com "Rising Star". Outside the restaurant he actively participates in numerous charitable and community endeavors.
Dommen's contemporary, seasonal American fare developed through his work in some of the world's most distinguished restaurants. His career began at Fleur de Lys in San Francisco, where Chef Hubert Keller became Dommen's mentor in the art of contemporary French cuisine. Dommen later spent four years in New York, honing his craft with one of his largest influences, Gray Kunz at Lespinasse and also with David Burke at Park Avenue Café. By the time he opened Palladin as Sous Chef for the legendary Chef Jean-Louis Palladin, his immersion in the art of French cuisine was well advanced. Dommen was next invited to join Julia's Kitchen in Napa Valley as the opening Executive Chef. While he was at the helm, the restaurant was named one of Esquire magazine's "Best New Restaurants."
Dommen describes his approach to cooking as "blending the freshest, seasonal ingredients from California, while using the classic French techniques I have honed from my previous experiences." His seasonally changing menu includes inventive farm-fresh dishes such as Lightly Smoked Tasmanian Trout Mi Cuit with potato rösti, organic chicken egg and pancetta vinaigrette; Dungeness Crab with green apple water and jalapeño sorbet; and Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with dandelion "persillade," salsify and natural jus.
"I truly enjoy experimenting with the freshest of produce, seafood and meats to create entirely new and unexpected dishes," says Dommen. "I make a point each day to ensure that the menu is a reflection of the finest raw materials prepared in a unique, delicious and artistic way."
'Some of Dommen's favorite dishes to make when not in the kitchen at One Market Restaurant include pizza and barbequed beer-can chicken cooked over apple wood chips. He lives in Napa with his wife and two daughters and enjoys skiing, golf and fishing in his spare time.
GM/Partner Lorenzo Bouchard
At One Market Restaurant in San Francisco, Lorenzo Bouchard works to ensure that the restaurant upholds its commitment to providing an unparalleled dining experience for its guests.
"With a history of serving quality cuisine in an ideal city location, One Market Restaurant has been a popular force on the dining scene since opening," says Bouchard. "One of the most important aspects of my job is to make sure that we continue to surpass our guests' expectations and raise the bar in terms of excellence in cuisine and service."
Lorenzo got his first taste of the culinary world when he was waiting tables in college and became entranced by the bustling excitement and activity. He later worked as a waiter under Chef Dennis Foy at The Tarragon Tree in New Jersey and as a food runner then waiter and then manager under Chef Michael Roberts at Trumps (named after the wild cards in Bridge, not the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) in Los Angeles. Lorenzo was the opening Manager of One Market in 1993 and served as General Manager/Partner from 2000 to 2008. After a two year Southern California sabbatical, he returned to One Market in March 2010.
"The most rewarding aspect of my position is receiving a sincere 'Thank you' from a guest for all of our collected efforts, and knowing that this guest will share their experience at One Market Restaurant with their friends and family."
Bouchard's civic involvement has included a stint as a Director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association and his participation as a founding member of the Steuart Street Restaurant Row Association. He recently completed his second term as a member of the Board of Directors for San Francisco Travel.
In his spare time, Lorenzo loves spending time with his spouse, Fred and their special needs rescue black Labrador Retriever, Jett at their home in Rancho Mirage, CA. Lorenzo is working as well on catching up on the family history he's recently discovered via 23andMe. He met his paternal biological family in 2017 including his father who owned and operated a successful NY-based fruit and produce import business and is a master home-chef and a grandmother who was the first female chef admitted into a Manhattan chef's labor organization. Clearly the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Sommelier & Wine Director Tonya Pitts
Tonya Pitts has been in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years. Her career started in St. Louis, Missouri as a host during college. Tonya was very fortunate to be surrounded by nurturing food and wine professionals who realized that she had a palate. Tonya's Fine Art studies relocated her to the Bay Area and a new chapter was born. Tonya's first job in San Francisco was with Chef Judy Rodgers at Zuni Cafe and Chef Jeremiah Tower at Stars Restaurant as a server. Needless to say, Tonya only paints for fun now. After three years, Tonya was running the wine program for Loretta Keller at Bizou Restaurant. It was with Loretta Keller that Tonya realized her true passion for wine.
Tonya has worked in many notable houses in the Bay Area and has been featured in Wine & Spirits Magazine, Tasting Panel and numerous news and industry publications. She is also a judge for the San Francisco International Wine Competition and is a tasting panelist for Wine and Spirits Magazine. Tonya is currently pursuing wine studies with the Court of Master Sommeliers and continues to educate herself and others on the world of wine.
Director of Special Events Nicole Held & Special Events Manager Serena Collins
Bar Manager Oscar Davila
Oscar comes to us from Texas and is proud to be on his third tour of duty at One Market Restaurant. He began working here almost 20 years ago and has made some of his most lasting friendships at our bar. Food and wine are a passion for Oscar and he explores the Bay Area's culinary scene as much as he can, or can afford to! He is an incredible cook, so his love of fashioning recipes and his fondness of spirits made him a perfect candidate to head up our bar program. He is quick to produce a cocktail on the spot that will dazzle you or dust off an old classic and make it seem like new. He loves to show off local offerings, like whisky from Napa or gin from Alameda, and is very proud to present the bounty of Northern California set against One Market's beautiful decor and sweeping views.
When he is not behind the bar, Oscar is educating himself. He is a certified sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers and attends numerous tastings, lectures and classes on wine and spirits. You can find him hanging out with his dog, Cowboy, exploring the San Francisco bar scene or binge watching 'The Great British Bake Off'. He is always in search of new flavors and ingredients to inspire his cocktails and thinks that the postmodern idea that "everything has already been done" is simply not true. He considers himself very fortunate to be at the helm of such a vibrant bar program and incredible team.
Created by Chef Bradley Ogden and restaurateur, and still Managing Partner, Michael Dellar in 1993, One Market Restaurant has become a standard for sophisticated dining in San Francisco. For the past 14 years One Market has offered the award winning farm-to-table cuisine of Chef/Partner Mark Dommen. The restaurant sports views of the Ferry Building, F-Line Trolley and Bay Bridge. Featured are an open exhibition kitchen with a special "Chef's Table", a wood-fired grill and rotisserie, several private dining rooms, a vibrant bar, and caring professional service directed by General Manager/Partner Lorenzo Bouchard. One Market also boasts one of the city's most impressive wine lists curated by Sommelier and Wine Director Tonya Pitts and a stellar cocktail program from Bar Manager Oscar Davila.

Hans-Jürgen Bäumler (né le  à Dachau en Bavière) est un patineur artistique allemand, devenu acteur, chanteur et animateur de télévision. Il est double médaillé d'argent aux jeux Olympiques et double champion du monde de patinage artistique en catégorie couple, avec sa partenaire Marika Kilius.

Biographie

Carrière sportive
Hans-Jürgen Bäumler a commencé le patinage en individuel. Il est monté quatre fois sur le podium national entre 1956 et 1959, et est devenu vice-champion d'Allemagne en 1957. Sur le plan international, il s'est contenté de places d'honneur. son meilleur classement est une  place lors des championnats d'Europe de 1957 à Vienne.

Dès 1957, et parallèlement à sa carrière individuelle, Hans-Jürgen Bäumler commence le patinage par couple avec Marika Kilius qui vient de quitter Franz Ningel. Ils travaillent ensemble sous la tutelle d'Erich Zeller. Entre 1958 et 1964, ils vont remporter quatre fois les championnats d'Allemagne (1958-1959-1963-1964), ce qui porte à sept le nombre de titres nationaux de Marika Kilius. Ils vont également devenir sextuples champions d'Europe et doubles champions du monde en 1963 à Cortina d'Ampezzo et 1964 à Dortmund. Ils obtiennent également deux médailles d'argent olympiques aux Jeux de 1960 à Squaw Valley et Jeux de 1964 à Innsbruck.

Reconversion

Le couple quitte le patinage amateur en 1964 après leur deuxième titre de champion du monde. Ils patinent ensuite professionnellement dans la Revue sur glace à Vienne puis dans les spectacles d'"Holiday on Ice".

Parallèlement, à partir de 1964, Hans-Jürgen Bäumler devient chanteur de Schlagers (version allemande de chansons pop). Dans le milieu des années 1960, il a enregistré quelques chansons avec Marika Kilius, mais aussi en solo. Il travaille aussi en tant qu'acteur dès 1964. Dans le milieu des années 1970, il a animé plusieurs jeux télévisés en Allemagne.

En 1966, il a été prouvé que le couple avait signé un contrat professionnel avant les Jeux olympiques de 1964, ce qui était formellement interdit à l'époque. On leur retire donc leur médaille d'argent. Le Comité international olympique retire les charges en 1987 et réhabilite le couple en leur restituant leur médaille et les résultats originaux.

En , il a participé avec son ancienne partenaire Marika Kilius au jury de la  RTL-Show Dancing on Ice.

Marié depuis 1974 à Marina, une enseignante, le couple a deux fils : Christophe et Bastian. Ils vivent aujourd'hui dans le sud de la France à Nice.

Breaking: The Red Sox are playing on Tuesday. But that immediate engagement represented an afterthought when John Farrell met with the media prior to his team's game against the Blue Jays. With Boston sitting 11 games back in the AL East division standings and the July 31 trade deadline drawing closer and closer, the focus on the team in recent days has not been a matter of determining the chances of a miraculous playoff run in the final two months of the season. Rather, it has all been about ace Jon Lester, who could see his almost 12-year career with the Red Sox organization come to a close in a matter of days, perhaps even as soon as Wednesday. Lester is scheduled to make his next start on Wednesday. That remains the case even with rumors swirling around him. But the rumors have enough substance that the Red Sox have already announced an alternative should Lester be dealt in the next 24 hours.
"As of right now, [Lester is] scheduled to start [Wednesday] night," said Farrell. "We have a contingency plan. If Jon is traded by this time tomorrow Brandon Workman will start."
While the chances of Lester remaining as a member of the team becomes an increasingly slim scenario as the hours pass, Farrell said that he remains optimistic that Lester will remain in the Sox rotation by the time the deadline passes. "Someone asked me a question earlier about having experienced a lot of successes, a lot of challenges and my only response is that I hope there are many more to experience with [Lester]," Farrell said. "The reality of the game is what we'€™re living right now and certain individual cases, but I'€™m always optimistic and hopeful that he'€™ll remain in a Red Sox uniform." Lester has put together his best season as a pro during his final year under contract with Boston, posting career highs in ERA (2.52), WHIP (1.12) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.66) in 2014. The potential of adding a pitcher with the pedigree of Lester to any rotation has made the Sox southpaw a hot commodity as the trade deadline draws closer and closer, with teams such as the Dodgers, Mariners, Brewers and even AL East foes such as the Orioles and Blue Jays linked to Lester. While any trade involving Lester has the potential to yield a significant haul back to the Red Sox, yet questions about how the Red Sox would go about replacing a top-of-the-rotation left-hander. So how does the team get better going forward by trading Lester? On that subject, Farrell did not attempt an answer. "€œThat'€™s probably a question better answered by [Red Sox GM] Ben [Cherington], because no one knows what the return of any player, if they'€™re traded, is going to bring," Farrell said. "€œBut our goal is to be as good as we can, as quick as we can, and that'€™s not saying that we close the book on 2014, so to specifically answer that question, it remains to be seen who gets traded and for what."

Apple fires back at Imagination Tech in contract dispute
Friday, July 7, 2017 9:57 am 4 Comments
"When the iPhone supplier Imagination Technologies Group Plc announced in April that Apple Inc. would no longer be using its graphics technology, investors in the small U.K. company were shocked. The graphics provider's stock collapsed more than 60 percent," Adam Satariano reports for Bloomberg. "But while investors were caught off guard by the move, Apple said Imagination had known for nearly two years that it was winding down the relationship."
"Apple first informed Imagination in late 2015 that it would no longer be buying the U.K. company's latest technology, Apple said in a statement to Bloomberg," Satariano reports. "It continued using its older systems."
"Imagination's shares fell as much as 8 percent in London trading. The company said it disclosed the change of its relationship with Apple on April 3 'when it had sufficient clarity on Apple's position,'" Satariano reports. "The timing of Imagination's disclosure about losing Apple's business will 'almost certainly' be reviewed by government regulators, said Tim Aron, a barrister who specializes in financial law and previously worked for the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority."
"Imagination has questioned whether Apple can develop new graphics technology without using its intellectual property," Satariano reports. "Responding to the allegations, Apple said it's been using less and less of Imagination's technology in recent years and that the supplier would have no way of knowing how its future products are designed."

Fake News from Imagination Tech..?
CNN should sue for infringing on their technology.
Saturday, July 8, 2017 at 2:38 am
Fake News – Stems from Russian sourced pop-up news outlets that show up during important social events. The trick is to lookup the source's website registration. How old is the registration? You can't believe just any news outlet, especially one with out a history. The practice of quoting other news sources tends to lead others to believe mainstream media promotes fake news.
The largest sources of misleading news among official American outlets, is both Fox News and tabloid outlets, like the Enquire. Remember Bat Boy?
CNN is guilty of sensationalism, at times, and like any news outlet prone to errors. However these days, the right or maybe not the right specifically, but the alt right, is targeting them and other mainstream media as fake-news, which isn't correct.
The real fake news is a planned attack of the people by foreign influence – an act of war against the West and Democracy, against free speech and intent on influence and disruption.
Take on Russia Today, take on the 10,000 fake Facebook accounts and social army of Russian posters who disseminate the real fake news. Take on Trump for his attempt to redirect our frustrations against American media which is trying to help protect Democracy and the First Amendment.
Your post, although acceptable in relation to IT, is unfair to CNN and other outlets, such as NYT and Washington Post. If you really want to see a leftist news outlet go ahead and read Huntington Post, but still not so dangerous as real fake news.
Yes, you are right, they are not fake news. They are VERY fake news.

New state data shows higher COVID-19 death toll among nursing home workers than previously recorded
Connecticut Public Radio | By Nicole Leonard
Jeanne Peters, 95, a rehab patient at The Reservoir, a nursing facility, was given the first COVID-19 vaccination in a Connecticut nursing home on Dec. 18, 2020, in West Hartford. Administering the vaccine is Mary Lou Galushko, a CVS pharmacist form North Haven (left).
In the last two years, COVID-19 has caused thousands of infections among Connecticut's front-line health care workers, some of whom never recovered. New state data provides a more accurate picture of the pandemic's toll on nursing home staff.
A report released Thursday shows that 21 nursing home workers have died from COVID-19-related illness since March 2020 -- that's quadruple the number previously on record.
State Department of Public Health spokesman Christopher Boyle said the data now includes some of the pandemic's earliest worker deaths, ones that occurred in the first three months of local outbreak, before automated reporting systems were in place.
Rob Baril, president of New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1199, SEIU, said union members aren't surprised to see death toll figures rise. The union represents about 30% of nursing home workers statewide.
"Nursing home caregivers have sacrificed everything during the coronavirus pandemic, including paying with their own lives and the lives of their relatives," Baril said in a statement. "We expect further upward revisions on the official number of worker fatalities in the coming months."
The state had previously recorded five nursing home staff deaths, but the data, taken from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network, only went back to June 17, 2020.
Stephanie Booth, a union member and licensed practical nurse at Apple Rehab Uncasville, said it's been hard watching both her residents and colleagues statewide succumb to the virus.
It's taken a toll on the profession as a whole, she said, while workers continue to deal with staffing shortages, workforce retainment problems and an ongoing pandemic.
"People just need to know how serious it is," Booth said. "There's a lot of workers who just don't want to do this anymore."
Connecticut nursing homes and other long-term treatment facilities were hit the hardest early on in the pandemic. Vaccinations helped limit severe illness, and safety precautions curbed transmission, but new coronavirus variants and waning immunity continue to cause outbreaks.
The CDC has designated six Connecticut counties as having a high transmission level of COVID-19, a threshold at which indoor masking is recommended. The other two counties are at a medium level.

Unceremoniously booted from Duffy's disastrous sophomore album, Rockferry producer and former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler possibly had dozens of female singer/songwriters waiting to capitalize on the Welsh songstress' career-suicidal decision. It's unlikely that resolutely independent Jersey-born Nerina Pallot was one of them, having wrote, produced, and self-released her last album, The Graduate. But after bonding over a mutual love of Arsenal FC, the unlikely pair has teamed up on a record that cleverly manages to showcase Butler's trademark sweeping melodrama without ever compromising Pallot's sweetly sung intimate tones, gentle folky melodies, and subtle poetic lyrics. Named after the child she was pregnant with during its recording, Year of the Wolf has Butler's stamp all over it, from the Motown basslines, seductive girl group choruses, and winding guitar solos of the slightly risqué "Turn Me on Again," to the sweeping strings and Wall of Sound-esque vibes of lead single "Put Your Hands Up" (originally intended for Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite), to the foot-stomping beats and '60s garage rock riffs of "Butterfly." But building on her recent songwriter-for-hire skills and life-changing experiences, Pallot never allows its cinematic nature to overshadow her own talents, revealing her unique sense of self-awareness on the military rhythms, jaunty piano chords, and chugging glam rock hooks of "I Think," her gorgeously fragile vocals on the orchestral waltz-tinged "All Bets Are Off," and her heartbreaking way with words on the hushed piano balladry of "History Boys," the closing track inspired by the images of grieving mothers during the Chilcot Inquiry. It's a credit to the pair that apart from the low-key brass-tinged R&B of "This Will Be Our Year" and the Bacharach-esque lounge-pop of "Will You Still Love Me," its 11 tracks never turn into the Rockferry, Pt. 2 affair that most people expected, with the haunting folk-soul of "Grace," the Norah Jones-esque torch song "If I Lost You Now," and the ghostly avant-garde pop of "I Do Not Want What I Do Not Have" (co-written with Linda Perry) a world away from Duffy's '60s pastiche. While her forays into writing for other artists suggest she could become the next Cathy Dennis, Year of the Wolf shows that Pallot belongs in front of the microphone rather than behind a studio desk, and ten years into her career, it might just provide the big breakthrough she so deserves. ---Jon O'Brien, AllMusic Review

How a Local Brewery Created a Beer Worthy of the L.A. Phil's Centennial Season
Musicians serenaded the vats at Los Angeles Ale Works' Hawthorne brewery

Melodies coming from the three brass instruments punctuate Los Angeles Ale Works' WWII-era warehouse, situated in an industrial stretch of Hawthorne. Two world-class musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Christopher Still, second trumpet, and David Rejano Cantero, principal trombone, are literally dressed for the occasion: tuxedos with tails and rubber boots.
They are joined by Kristofor "Kip" Barnes, L.A. Ale Works' co-founder and a former member of the USC Trojan marching band, as they serenade L.A. Ale Works' fermenter while it brews L.A. Phil 100 Brut IPA. The specially crafted beer honors the Philharmonic's centennial and will only be available during the 2018-2019 season.
This brew day was in mid-July, three months before the L.A. Phil began celebrating its centennial season, which runs from September 2018 through October 2019. Despite the day having started before sunrise, the three musicians and craft beer aficionados effortlessly belted out "Ein Prosit" (a wildly popular Oktoberfest song) among other brass-oriented pieces.
According to Still, orchestral musicians are like nocturnal animals. "We get off some nights at 10:45, so when we found out that brew day was going to start at 5:30 in the morning, I was like, 'Alright, let's do it!'" He later added, "We put our tails on along with the rubber boots. It was hysterical."

The initial conversation about a centennial beer started years ago among a few of the Phil's musicians (who, like Still, were home brewers) and Frances Lopez, executive director of the nonprofit Los Angeles County Brewers Guild, during a Casual Friday series at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
The Casual Friday series and CODA (a play on the classical music term for the concluding movement or the coming of the end of the piece) were designed to attract a younger (20s and 30s) and more culturally diverse audience to the L.A. Philharmonic. The two initiatives focus on introducing young professionals and music enthusiasts to orchestral music vis-à-vis discounted tickets to shorter concerts accompanied by after-parties complete with cocktails and hors-d'oeuvres set in an intimate atmosphere that encourages conversation between guests and L.A. Phil musicians.
"We're trying to break down that stereotype that L.A. Phil concerts are only for a certain part of our society. It's really for everybody," says Still, who joined the Philharmonic in the 2007 season. He observed how the craft beer scene is doing the same thing by encouraging people to try new brews and be receptive to varied methods of brewing.
"The biggest misconception about orchestral music is that you have to be super educated and know a lot about music and have a certain level of income to enjoy a place like the Walt Disney Concert Hall," Still explains, stressing that it couldn't be further from the truth. The same demographics turning out for the informal programming (particularly Millennials) were also patronizing L.A.'s slew of craft breweries.
Lopez, who previously led marketing and sponsorship efforts for then-independent Golden Road Brewing Co., began laying the foundation and building the relationship between the Phil and the region's independent craft beer community back in 2015. Through a partnership between the Guild and the Phil, a revolving lineup of local craft beers became available at Phil events at both the Hollywood Bowl and Disney Concert Hall.
"Every year [since 2015] we were able to increase the number of events the Guild was partnering with the Phil," said Lopez who noted that event participation isn't just focused on showcasing one specific brewery but, rather, multiple breweries and the Guild itself.
"Unique to our partnership [between the L.A. County Brewers Guild and the Phil] is the fact that the Guild not only wants to promote craft beer but we also want to promote Los Angeles," Lopez continued.
L.A. Ale Works, which was among the local breweries featured during the Phil's Casual Friday series, was tapped to create the Phil's centennial-themed beer for a number of reasons, from the flexibility in their brewing schedule to the artwork on their beer cans. The brewery was given a narrow window for crafting a beer to coincide with the Phil's California Soul Gala, which took place at the end of September, and which ushered in the start of the centennial season.
"It was literally a matter of weeks between the day we donated beer to L.A. Phil's Casual Friday in early July, to the discussion we had with their marketing team, to bringing in Chris and David on brew day, and working with the Phil on designing the artwork for the beer," said Andrew Fowler, L.A. Ale Works' other cofounder.
A relatively new iteration of the IPA, brut IPA is much drier and lacks the bitter, lingering hoppy aftertaste typical to traditional West Coast IPAs. The name is also a nod to the black-tie attire relationship between champagne and classical music, and the beer's similarity in appearance and fragrance to its bubbly cousin.
Stills even gave a solo trumpet performance during brew day to honor the "Brut" name, playing "Coconut Champagne," a piece written by Denis DiBlasio.

As Barnes explains, the addition of the enzyme amylase glucosidase "converts the complex sugars into fully fermentable sugars whose end result is a super-dry beer that is sub gravity and not bitter." While the rest of the brewing process is similar to any other beer, Barnes points out that with a brut IPA "no hops are added to the boil or whirlpool because you want the complete fermentation process before adding in hops." By incorporating extra puffed jasmine rice, the beer becomes much drier and lighter but doesn't sacrifice its flavor or body.
Brewing L.A. Phil 100 Brut IPA with Centennial hops (piney and resin in flavor with elements of citrus), Wakatu hops from New Zealand (a lime zest and earthy citrus flavor profile), and fresh zested orange peel was an homage to the heritage of aromas native to Los Angeles when the Philharmonic made its debut performance in October 1919 under the orchestral direction of Walter Henry Rothwell.
It was a period in Los Angeles County when citrus groves and fruit orchards dominated sprawling agricultural fields marked with farms and even vineyards; when Angelenos' transportation included streetcars, interurban railcars, and automobiles of the day; and when the motion picture and aviation industries began to establish themselves in a region now synonymous with their influence.
The Phil too has evolved over the last 100 years, becoming increasingly innovative and forging deep ties to the community. Its hallmark youth program, Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), inspired by Gustavo Dudamel's musical upbringing in Venezuela's El Sistema, makes music education accessible to L.A.'s low-income youth. And, in an effort to ensure accessibility of world-class orchestral music in Los Angeles, the Phil puts on free concerts in underrepresented neighborhoods across the city.
A day after the L.A. Philharmonic's first performance on October 24, 1919, Los Angeles Times journalist Edwin Schallert wrote how the spectacle, "…startled Los Angeles out of her symphonic slumbers and introduced what might be termed a new epoch in local musical history."
As the Phil celebrates its centennial, a new epoch begins. And that's worth a toast with a really good beer.

Each college football season brings plenty of on-field surprises; these three Clemson players could fit into that category in 2018.
Every season, there are a few specific players that emerge for Clemson and make a name for themselves. They go from relatively unknown and unheralded to big-time stars on and off the field. Travis Etienne and Dorian O'Daniel are perfect examples of this from last season.
So who will emerge for Clemson this season in the same way that Etienne and O'Daniel did last season? Here are three Clemson players who are poised for breakout seasons in 2018.
Amari Rodgers is well-known amongst Clemson fans because of recruiting rankings and hype but he has yet to make a massive impact on the field.
The sophomore enrolled at Clemson in January 2017 as a four-star wide receiver and the reigning Tennessee 4A Mr. Football. He came to Clemson surrounded by massive expectations and wasn't able to live up to them as a true freshman simply because the depth chart was crowded at his position.
Junior Ray-Ray McCloud played the majority of snaps at Rodgers' position, but the freshman still managed to catch 19 passes for 123 yards. With McCloud gone to the NFL, Rodgers is now first on the depth chart and is poised to be one of the Tigers' most targeted wide receivers in 2018.
Rodgers will also be utilized in the return game this coming season. He was used sparingly last year on punt and kick returns but he has the speed and build to be an effective return man. Rodgers has so much potential as a wide out and returner and Clemson will rely on him this season for explosive plays in both areas.
As a true freshman last season, A.J. Terrell made an impact right when he stepped on campus.
He was the highest-rated signee in the 2017 class and he showed why last season, recording 15 tackles, one tackle-for-loss, six pass breakups and an interception in his rookie campaign.
Due to injuries in the secondary, Terrell played more than almost anyone anticipated in 2017, playing at least 20 snaps in seven of the Tigers' 14 games. The biggest play of his freshman season came in the Tigers' win over Boston College, when Terrell recorded his first career interception late in the fourth quarter.
As a sophomore in 2018, Terrell is a top of the depth chart at one of the cornerback spots along with senior Mark Fields. Terrell is ready to become one of the Clemson's stars in the secondary and the Tigers will lean on him tremendously this coming season.
Clemson's linebacker group is one of the deepest and most talented position groups on the roster heading into 2018 and there is no one that knows this better than James Skalski.
Entering his third year in the program, Skalski is poised to have a breakout season as one of the most important non-starters on the defensive side of the ball. Graduate students Kendall Joseph and J.D. Davis are currently listed as the Tigers' starters at two of the three linebacker spots. Skalski is listed right behind Davis at the WILL linebacker position.
Last season, Skalski started two key games for Clemson in November and December, including the ACC Championship game. In 2017, he tallied 37 tackles, two tackles-for-loss and two quarterback pressures in 174 snaps. Look for Skalski to emerge as one of Clemson's top linebackers in 2018, even if he doesn't start a game.
