Hinge Hits SF With Its App For Finding True Love, Not Just Hookups
Tinder is great if you care about looks, not personality. But if you want a simple dating app that matches you based on interests, education, and profession, there's Hinge. Today it launches in San Francisco. In city of quirky and sometimes socially awkward people, Hinge's focus on brains and background over beauty could help people find a Jedi in the streets, not just a Sith in the sheets.
Hinge thrived in its hometown of Washington, D.C., after launching in February with its app that matches you with friends of friends you might want to date. It saw strong 25% monthly growth and an average of 40 logins per month as it expanded to New York and Boston. In November it raised $4 million led by Great Oaks and Chamath Palihapitiya's Social+Capital Partnership who see the dating industry being transformed by mobile, and verticalizing around different amounts of commitment.
You can check out a quick demo of Hinge and my interview with founder Justin McLeod below.
[tc_5min code="518087615"]
At first glance, Hinge's iOS and Android apps look a lot like Tinder with their swipe to approve or dismiss matches, and the option to chat if you and someone else like each other. But Hinge is striving to create a much different usage pattern.
Rather than endlessly swiping through strangers, Hinge gives you a limited set of potential matches each day, represented by a line of dots on the left. Hinge wants you to seriously consider each person and check out their listed biographical info rather than make a snap judgment based on their first photo. And since you have friends in common, it feels less creepy to talk or go on a date with someone.
Hinge's secret weapon is what I call "The Romance Graph." The app pulls in your interests, work history, education, religion, and mutual friend list from Facebook (but never posts there). Hinge lets you edit these and also add some personal adjectives — kind of like more family-friendly Lulu hashtags — so you can say you're a "science nerd," "animal lover," "die-hard carnivore" or "after-partier." Ok, yes, that's me.
Then Hinge looks at who you like and dislike so it knows if you always dismiss short guys, or vegans, or even people of certain religions or ethnicities. It combines all this data to show you people you're most likely to be into, without forcing you to answer awkward questions about what you're looking for in other people.
McLeod tells me this Romance Graph approach has the average female user approving of 30 percent of their matches and guys approving around 50 percent. By doing data-driven matchmaking, Hinge has succeeded where other friends-of-friends dating apps like Yoke, Acquaintable, Thread, and 3 Degrees have failed to gain traction. And since your connection goes deeper than looks, it's more likely that two-way approvals and chat threads lead to offline dates and relationships.
Hinge even suggests dates you could go on by looking through your Date Spot preferences. So if you both, say, you're in to "museums," it might recommend going to check out some art together.
Eventually, Hinge plans to monetize by selling premium services that enhance users' experiences. Those might include getting more matches, being able to select someone you want to keep appearing in front of, or being able to tell if someone read your message.
Hinge has an uphill battle in competing with Tinder, which has a huge user base and was seeing 400 million swipes a day plus 4 million matches per day in November. Tinder has solidified a norm in swipe-based dating apps that you have nearly infinite potential matches, so you can flippantly dismiss or approve people en masse. Hinge will have to fight to make people slow down and give their matches real thought. Tinder has also expressed interest in facilitating more than just hookups, and its playful style may prove more addictive.
But almost everyone dates at some point in their life, so there's likely enough room for both Hinge and Tinder to succeed. In fact, I bet we see even more verticalization in mobile dating around different subcultures and relationship styles. Perhaps there's room for an ever more "let's have sex now" app than Tinder or a more "let's just hold hands" app than Hinge.
For now, though, San Franciscans have a new way to find someone who loves them for who they really are with Hinge.
Hinge is available for iOS and Android in Washington D.C., New York, Boston, and San Francisco.

Marc and Barb were successful graduates of our Computer Programming Department here at M.C.T.I. and so have a diverse background in several areas of Computer Programming besides web pages.

As we have discussed in recent months, nursing home abuse is a dangerous and growing problem in the United States. In many cases, we cannot even begin to figure out why someone was provoked to abuse the elderly. However, it is happening at an alarming rate. While we can not even think of physical, emotional, financial, and even sexual abuse when talking about the elderly, we came across an interesting case that raises questions about the amount of medication hospice and nursing home patients receive. Let's take a brief look at this case before diving deeper into the dangers associated with overmedicated patients in nursing homes.
A Frisco, Texas hospice company has found itself at the center of an FBI investigation because of claims that they are administering excessive doses of certain prescription drugs, such as morphine. According to government inspection documents, the sickest patients are receiving abnormally high doses of medication in order to end their lives. In the report it was uncovered that 10 out of 13 patients in 2014 or 2015 that were under the care of the hospice company – Novus – received undocumented doses of drugs. Eight of these patients died in the ensuing weeks.
Since this information has come to light numerous families have stepped forward due to concerns about the wellbeing of their own elderly loved ones. Novus has been under increased pressure and a bright spotlight, which has resulted in other concerns surrounding the quality of care by the hospice company. This case in particular highlights the growing problem we are seeing in the United States surrounding the care of our elderly populations. Elderly abuse comes in many different shapes and sizes, which is why it is important that we continue to raise awareness about this problem and contact authorities when necessary.
NPR recently ran a story about the problem with overmedication in nursing homes and other skilled nursing facilities that ties right into the case mentioned above. According to the story, nearly 300,000 nursing home residents are receiving some type of antipsychotic drugs in order to treat common ailments such as dementia, anxiety, and depression. The problem, however, is that these types of drugs are mainly approved to treat mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. When patients who are not suffering from these mental issues receive antipsychotics, the result can be deadly. Many elderly patients appear to be catatonic or mentally restrained in some way, which can be linked to this problem of overmedication.
It can be difficult to know whether or not our parents and other elderly loved ones are being properly cared for when under the roof of a nursing home, hospice center, or other similar facility. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more cases of nursing home abuse, which comes in many different shapes and sizes. If you suspect your loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse or would like to learn more about your rights when it comes to overmedication or other types of neglect and abuse, please contact Rad Law Firm today. Our Dallas nursing home abuse attorneys are here to answer any questions you may have and ensure everything possible is being done in order to protect your loved ones.


MERZ B. SCHWANEN is a brand, that like few others stands for the revival of authenticity. They produce t-shirts, undershirts and shirts with long sleeves in a unique quality.
The story behind MERZ B. SCHWANEN reads like a novel: Peter Plotnicki, the today's manager, strolled across a flea market once, when he suddenly stumbled upon an old worker's shirt form 1911 with long sleeves. He was instantly fascinated how that shirt was produced and it looked so damn fantastic to him, that he decided to invest some time to find out more about that shirt, apparently coming not only from a different decade, but from a different world.
He soon found out that this shirt was produced in a german region called the "Schwäbische Alp" by a company named "MERZ B. SCHWANEN". Due to globalization, this once so important for that region company had to close their doors forever. To his surprise, he then met one still active producer of fabrics. This man owned a whole room full of old original machines for the production of tubular fabrics – unused and covered with dust two fingers high. So Peter Plotnicki decided to revive those glorious old machines and start his own production of shirts unlike any other.
And about one year later, the machines were ready to start producing again! As this news spread across the Schwäbische Alp like a wildfire, the descendants of the original company's founder, Balthasar Merz, offered the brand name "MERZ B. SCHWANEN" to Peter Plotnicki. The rest of the story can be discovered here at B74: Absolutely unique Shirts completely produced in germany with an unparalled quality – and every single piece with the knowledge and feeling of revitalised tradition from the very good old days!

Jerry Lee (Stephen Dorff) wakes his brother, Frank (Emile Hirsch), in the middle of the night and tells him that something terrible had just happened: He had accidentally struck a kid on a bike with the car. Although he had tried to pick him up and take him to the hospital, it was of no use. The boy was already dead.
Frank and Jerry Lee are inseparable, partly because they wish to honor their dying mother's wish which was expressed to them back when they were still teenagers. Now in their thirties, the duo choose to remain in Reno with hopes of riding out the investigation. If they were to disappear suddenly, suspicion would surely arise.
"The Motel Life," directed by Alan and Gabe Polsky, is more a story about the love shared between two brothers than it is about guilt, not having enough money, or the past although these three elements are major driving forces that continue to shape trail of their journey. It is a moving story, heartbreaking in some ways, and yet it is also about hope. No matter what happens, Frank and Jerry Lee are there for each other no matter what the cost.
The lead performances sizzle with stifled emotions. Hirsch gives Frank a level of strength that is almost unexpected because he looks much younger than Dorff, who injects Jerry Lee with so much pathos that we forget sometimes that he has committed a hit-and-run. I would have guessed that Dorff would play the stronger character—the protector—and Hirsch would play the guilt-ridden half.
Nevertheless, what ultimately ends up on screen is the correct decision. Since the casting choice is less obvious, those familiar with the performers' repertoire will be fascinated because they manage to thrive in a relatively new territory. Meanwhile, those who are less familiar with Hirsch and Dorff can still enjoy the relationship of the two brothers by discovering, slowly, how their dynamics work.
The best scenes involve Frank telling Jerry Lee stories of their imagined great adventures. The wonderful animation employed vary in style and content but not so much that they come across detached from one another. On the contrary, there is fluidity in the drawings and plots and so we learn about what goes on in Frank's mind: his inspirations, disappointments, his values, his hopes for the future. He is a man who does not speak a lot. It is easier to grab a bottle of alcohol than a shoulder of a friend—especially when he is not very social in the first place.
There are two people in Frank's life that I wished were fleshed out a bit more. Kris Kristofferson plays a man named Earl who sells cars. In a way, he is a father figure to Frank. They share two scenes: One when Frank is a teenager (Andrew Lee) and the other when older Frank needs a car. Another person of importance in Frank's life is a former girlfriend named Annie (Dakota Fanning). They have lost touch for years only to cross paths again under very different circumstances.
Based on the novel by Willy Vlautin, "The Motel Life" shows a portrait that may not be pretty or convenient but one that is worth looking at and thinking about. It made me feel glad that I have a brother who I believe will do anything for me when it really counts. Perhaps that is the reason why I was so moved by the brothers' bond. Though we come from completely different backgrounds, I still saw a reflection of myself and my sibling in Frank and Jerry Lee.


Megyn Kelly doesn't see the racism in racist Halloween costumes.
Megyn Kelly does not want to be told what she can and cannot wear, even if it means she's going to reinforce negative stereotypes about people of color.
During Tuesday's segment of her show, Kelly denounced new student union guidelines at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom pushing to ban costumes such as cowboys, Nazis, priests, nuns, Native Americans, Mexican stereotypes, and Harvey Weinstein.
The union did, however, suggest that people dress up as letters of the alphabet, to which Kelly suggested that she and her husband dress as the letters F and U.
"I just feel like it's so absurd, like, who comes up with these rules?" Kelly said.
However, Kelly's confusion around being told to not reinforce negative stereotypes and wear purposefully shocking costumes seemed fixated on the inability for white people to wear blackface, or darker makeup that gives someone the "appearance" of having Black skin.
"Freedom of expression is a beautiful thing, so is freedom of speech. It's part of why I like living in the United States of America. Because if you're gonna dress like an idiot, act like an idiot, and actually dress and be racist, then somebody should say something to somebody. But you should still be able to dress like a moron," NBC reporter Jacob Soboroff, who was on Kelly's four-person panel, began.
"But what is racist? Because truly, you do get in trouble if you're a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween, or a Black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Like, back when I was a kid that was OK as long as you were dressing up as like a character," Kelly responded.
"Yeah, you gotta be able to take it," Kelly said, just moments after complaining about no longer being able to wear blackface without garnering criticism.
A few seconds later, Kelly went on to mention a "controversy" on the Real Housewives of New York about a character wearing blackface to dress up as Diana Ross, arguing that it was OK because it was Halloween.
"People were saying that was racist. And I thought, who doesn't love Diana Ross? She wants to look like Diana Ross for one day. I don't know how that got 'racist' on Halloween. It's not like she's walking around in general," Kelly said.
"I haven't seen it, but it sounds a little racist to me," Soboroff said, with fellow panelist Jenna Bush Hager voicing agreement.
Perhaps Kelly thinks that it's just OK to wear blackface on Halloween, but only then? Which is still flawed thinking. We shouldn't get a pass to be racist for the day, only because it's "all in good fun" and all in the "spirit of Halloween." Negative reinforced stereotypes follow people of color around constantly, and no such "absolution" exists to make sure that such stereotypes aren't reinforced on Halloween alone.
It's ridiculous to think that Halloween is the one day where racist costumes won't do harm, plain and simple. And it's even more ridiculous to think that a university in the U.K., not even in the U.S., has a better grasp at racist American history than Kelly herself.
For Kelly and anyone else who missed this very important history lesson: Blackface was popularized by white performers dressing up as Black people (yes, in a black face) for minstrel shows—a form of entertainment at the expense of enslaved African-Americans pre-Civil War through the 20th century. These shows depicted Black people as dumb, lazy, overtly sexual, and as criminals. It is these stereotypes that still haunt Black people today and are thus deeply, deeply offensive. White people: Don't do blackface.
Across Twitter, people are criticizing Kelly for her ignorance. Some have argued that she should have had a Black panelist included on this conversation, while others have dredged up Kelly's baseless opinions regarding race—such as when she argued that Santa couldn't be Black, but that Jesus was most definitely white, as a Fox News host.

Evyn Lê Espiritu shares with us her unique experiences spending time with the students in VietAID, the Vietnamese American Initiative for Development, in which she taught them how to conduct oral histories within their families.
It was July 9, the first Wednesday of VietAID's six week summer program. A roomful of middle-schoolers stared expectantly at me, still sweaty and excited from their previous hour of exercise. Most of the twenty-seven students were Vietnamese. Some had been born here in Boston; others were recent immigrants from Vietnam. A couple students were mixed-race; several students were not Vietnamese at all, reflecting the diversity of their neighborhood, Dorchester. I nodded to Ronnica Rogers, my co-instructor, and wrote the name of the workshop on the whiteboard: "Digital Storytelling." I planned to teach the students to conduct oral histories within their families and to create short films about how Vietnam's past affected their present. But this was a mutually-constitutive project; one that would change and evolve as we worked together.
Dorchester, one of the largest and most diverse neighborhoods in Boston, is home not only to a historically-rooted African American population, but also a diverse array of recent immigrants from Vietnam, Ireland, and Cape Verde. Founded in 1994 by community leaders and residents, VietAID—the Vietnamese American Initiative for Development—is the nation's oldest Vietnamese community center. It now serves over 7,500 Vietnamese Americans in Boston and the surrounding areas through its various programs.
In addition to promoting civic engagement and community building, developing affordable housing and commercial space, providing small business technical assistance and micro-enterprise development, and offering high quality child care services, VietAID runs VSPY—the VietAID Scholarly Program for Youth—which each year serves around 150 local students from grades one to eight and recruits over sixty high school students to work and volunteer in the classroom. It's an amazing program: a multiracial cast of instructors, teachers' aides, and organizers enrich the students' academic development with eight hours a day of Math, Language Arts, physical education, and field trips. But despite its emphasis on the under-served Vietnamese population, the program had surprisingly little structured time for Vietnamese cultural engagement or history. This is where "Digital Storytelling" came in: for six two-hour sessions, the middle-schoolers of VSPY would learn how to research, plan, storyboard, film, and edit short films about their family immigration stories, the Vietnam War, life as a Vietnamese American in the diverse neighborhood of Dorchester, or the scene in contemporary Vietnam.
It was a program of special importance to me. An aspiring artist academic myself, I first became exposed to filmmaking and oral history in college. I created several short films about my grandmother's immigration story; the discovery of my famous grand-uncle, a South Vietnamese war hero; and my positionality to these histories as a multiethnic intellectual. The experience was life-changing. I was able to hear stories that had been hidden in my family history, and re-tell them with my own artistic voice. It was an experience I wanted to share. I contacted Marisa Imon, one of the VSPY's head organizers, and she was more than supportive. I thank her for this opportunity.
I developed the "Digital Storytelling" program with Lena Nguyen, one of the Vietnamese American VSPY instructors, and conducted it with Ronnica, who was connected to VietAID through the esteemed MLK Summer Scholars program. Ronnica is a talented artist and video producer in her own right, and she proved an indispensible help. I could not stay in Boston for the full length of the six-week program, so Ronnica boldly took over when I left. She helped the students film their shorts and was in charge of editing the final pieces. I cannot thank her enough.
After years of repression—both self-inflicted and government-enforced—Vietnamese Americans are beginning to share their stories and family histories on the Internet, interweaving spoken word, creative reenactments, and Vietnam War footage. These videos speak against dominant representations of the war that center the white American male soldier's experience, such as Miss Saigon, Full Metal Jacket, and Apocalypse Now. It was from this archive of contemporary self-representations that I drew, sharing a number of key examples with the VSPY middle-schoolers on the program's first day.
From there, we began brainstorming and storyboarding our own video self-representations. It was a bit difficult at first: difficult to engage the gravity of the war, to establish trust and rapport with the students, to get them to feel comfortable sharing their own experiences, and to build self-confidence in their own creative ideas. But eventually and almost suddenly, I felt a shift: after a week the students chatted with me in both Vietnamese and English and excitedly fashioned props for their skits out of construction paper. With the invaluable help of the other instructors, we went over storyboard ideas and jumped into the filming process. I felt enlivened by their energy, by the promise these youth held. They were engaging with their family histories in new ways, taking representation into their own hands.

She currently studies the South Vietnamese refugee population in Israel as a means to problematize diaspora, citizenship, and sovereignty.

Een gevangenisbende is een bende die actief is binnen een gevangenis. In de Verenigde Staten is het fenomeen zeer bekend en gebruikt de overheid het eufemisme Security Threat Group (STG). Hoewel de Amerikaanse gevangenisbendes het bekendst zijn, bestaan er ook gevangenisbendes buiten de Verenigde Staten, zoals de Braziliaanse PCC.

Functie en activiteiten
De oorspronkelijke functie van de meeste bendes was het bieden van bescherming aan de leden tegen andere gedetineerden, al dan niet eveneens georganiseerd in bendes. Christian Parenti heeft betoogd dat bendes een zekere mate van organisatie en gezag brengen in de gevangenis en daarom oogluikend door Amerikaanse gevangenisautoriteiten worden getolereerd.

Veel bendes gaan echter verder dan dat. Intimidatie en afpersing van niet-leden komt eveneens veel voor. Bovendien beheersen veel gevangenisbendes de handel in alcohol, tabak en drugs binnen een gevangenis. Hoewel verboden is dit belangrijk, daar in de afwezigheid van geld alcohol, tabak en drugs de functie van ruilmiddel vervullen. Soms vervullen gevangenisbendes zelfs een belangrijke rol in het witwassen van drugsgeld. Gevangenisbendes staan bekend om hun gewelddadigheid en schuwen ernstige mishandeling en moord niet. Dit laatste geschiedt vaak met shanks (geïmproviseerde steekwapens) of zelfs met binnengesmokkelde messen. Het komt zelfs voor dat een bende personen van buiten de gevangenis of bewakers bedreigt of doodt.

Invloed op georganiseerde misdaad
Gevangenisbendes oefenen daarnaast een niet geringe invloed uit op de georganiseerde criminaliteit buiten de gevangenis, meer dan men zou vermoeden. Dit komt doordat de misdaadbestrijding zich in de Verenigde Staten en andere landen meer en meer tegen de drugshandel heeft gericht, waardoor veel drugshandelaren tot gevangenisstraffen zijn veroordeeld of mensen kennen die een gevangenisstraf uitzitten. Bovendien zijn hierdoor ook zeer veel verslaafden achter tralies beland, waardoor gevangenisbendes de afzetmarkt voor hun drugs zagen vergroten. Hierdoor is een link ontstaan tussen de gevangenisbendes en de drugshandel in de Westelijke wereld, en houden gevangenisbendes zich zeer veel bezig met drugshandel. Bovendien zetten veel vrijkomende bendeleden hun activiteiten voort, zodat veel gevangenisbendes inmiddels een gelieerde bende buiten de gevangenis kennen. Anderzijds kunnen criminele organisaties ook in gevangenissen afdelingen bezitten, en leiden sommige 'peetvaders' en 'vory v zakone' hun organisaties vanuit de gevangenis.

Bestrijding
De gevangenisoverheden trachten de formatie van gevangenisbendes te bestrijden. Dit is echter vaak lastig. Overplaatsing van gedetineerden heeft vaak averechts gewerkt en ervoor gezorgd dat de bendes 'afdelingen' in andere gevangenissen vormden. Bovendien zijn veel leden langgestraften of terdoodveroordeelden die weinig of niets te verliezen hebben. Als men al op 'Death row' zit maakt een extra moord niet uit en zal de juridische rompslomp rond de moord zelfs de eigen executie kunnen vertragen. Overheden trachten bendeleden te scheiden en in maximaal beveiligde of geïsoleerde afdelingen onder te brengen, zodat ze geen kwaad kunnen en gescheiden worden van hun machtsbasis.

Interne organisatie en toetreding
Veel gevangenisbendes kennen naast een afdeling in de Westelijke wereld ook afdelingen binnen verschillende gevangenissen. Daarnaast kunnen kleinere bendes aansluiten bij of tot grotere. Anderzijds kunnen groepen zich afsplitsen en een nieuwe bende vormen, die soms een bittere tegenstander van de oorspronkelijke bende wordt. Bendes zijn in de Verenigde Staten vaak raciaal getint, maar aan deze regel wordt veelal niet strak de hand gehouden.

Gevangenisbendes kennen in veel gevallen de regel 'blood in blood out' (bloed in bloed uit). 'Bloed in' refereert aan de toelatingseisen. Men dient in principe iemand te hebben vermoord, hoewel sommige bendes met ernstige mishandeling genoegen nemen. 'Bloed uit' refereert aan het feit dat men lid is voor het leven en alleen door de dood van het lidmaatschap bevrijd is. Wie de bende verraadt of verlaat zal door de bende vermoord worden indien deze daartoe de kans krijgt. Ex-leden zijn door de invloed van de bendes zelfs buiten de gevangenis hun leven niet zeker.

Leden identificeren zich vaak door middel van tatoeages. Om deze reden staan veel Amerikaanse gevangenisautoriteiten tatoeages niet meer toe of verplaatsen ze getatoeëerde gedetineerden direct naar de isolatieafdeling.

Arrest Of Underage Street Vendors Sparks Public Outrage
Iranian actress and a children's rights campaigner, Mahnaz Afshar (left) and Masoumeh Ebtekar, Iran's Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, criticized the arrest and treatment of the five underage street vendors.
January 26, 2018 The recent arrest of a group of underage street peddlers by the authorities in the city of Borujerd [capital of the western province of Lorestan] has drawn sharp criticism from the public. Many people in Borujerd have been outraged by the publication of photographs of the children on the Telegram channel of the mayor's public relations office. The incident has once again drawn attention to the plight of underage street vendors.
The photographs were quickly taken down by the mayor's office, which also issued a public apology. The five young boys whose pictures were posted on social media reportedly sold candies in the streets of Borujerd. Twitter users expressed their anger at the authorities by posting their comments under the hashtag #child-candy-sell-not guilty.
Many people lambasted the authorities for harassing children instead of tackling serious crimes. "Arrest the real criminals, I mean the embezzlers," one tweet said. Another person wrote: "Children who sell candy have not committed any crime. They don't deface the city. Despair, poverty and the prospects of a bleak future are what turns our cities ugly." Another tweet said: "Imprisoned underage street peddlers, social injustice, suicides, and unpaid workers are the true horrors plaguing our society." A tweet by a child protection group said: "Publishing pictures of these underage boys clearly violates Article 3 of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) Convention."
In an open letter to Masoumeh Ebtekar, the Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, Mahnaz Afshar, an Iranian actress and a children's rights campaigner, severely criticized the arrest and treatment of the five underage street vendors. The letter said: "The inhumane treatment of these children by the city of Borujerd is appalling. These underage boys, whose livelihood depends on selling candies, were arrested, lined up and photographed like common criminals. This was just another way of humiliating these poor souls who have been victimized all their lives. We are all responsible for these children. We are all guilty of creating situations which have forced these young boys to peddle goods in the streets."
City and provincial officials have been quick to blame each other for the fiasco. Borujerd Governor Ali Kouranifar told reporters that he was not involved in the decision to round up these young boys. He placed the blame squarely at the doorstep of the Borujerd City Hall. Meanwhile, Borujerd's deputy mayor promised to discipline officials at the public relations office for posting the photos, thereby deflecting criticism from the City Council.
Shifting to damage-control mode, the director of the mayor's public relations office, Davoud Gudarzi, explained: "These five boys were brought to Borujerd from Malayer [central Hamadan Province] and dispatched to different parts of the city. Our aim was to arrest the ringleader who exploits these children. But after two weeks of investigation, we couldn't capture him. So, in an effort to protect them, we collected these young boys and brought them to the City Hall. We treated them with utmost care. We posted their photographs on social media in the hope of reuniting them with their families. Someone finally came and took them."
Reza Behnudfar, deputy head of Borujerd City Council, told the Tasnim News Agency: "The director of the mayor's public relations office was summoned for questioning. But members of the council didn't find the explanation satisfactory. So we are planning to take legal action."
Handing over those five children to someone who claimed to be their legal guardian without properly vetting the person has raised many eyebrows. Addressing the issue, the director of the mayor's public relations office told ILNA [Iranian Labor News Agency]: "The individual in question left his ID with us. He claimed to be a family friend of those children. We released the children to his care. His ID and documents are at the City Hall. I must stress that none of the five boys were ever jailed. They could have left at any time. They, however, decided to remain at the City Hall because they feared the master criminal who exploited them."
Fariba Derakhshaniya, director of the Welfare Office for Victim Protection, said: "Provincial authorities should investigate gangs who transport minors between provinces for the explicit purpose of using them to work the streets."
Meanwhile, Hadi Shariati, deputy director of the Association for the Protection of Children's Rights, said: "The treatment of children in our country has been a source of grave concern for many years now. The recent incident in Borujerd is an example of how the rights of the most vulnerable segment of our society are routinely violated." He added: "We recently experienced nationwide protests prompted by the country's dire economic conditions. Abject poverty and despair have forced these poor children to sell candy in the city streets. This is a painful tragedy. It is sad that these children have been treated as common criminals. It would appear that instead of battling poverty we are fighting the poor."
In a letter to Iranian Labor Minister Ali Rabiei, the Imam Ali Group of Workers, Network of Children and Street Children said: "Current labor laws don't prohibit children from selling goods in the streets. They shouldn't, therefore, be arrested. If a child is forced to work in the streets, then his or her parents should be held responsible."
A bill was introduced in the Majlis [Iranian Parliament] in 2017 which, if passed, would have allowed the authorities to remove beggars, including children, from the streets. However, it faced fierce opposition in the Majlis and by children's rights groups. The bill is currently being reviewed, and the revised version will be submitted to the Majlis in the near future.
There is no accurate data regarding the number of underage street workers. While some studies put the figure at two million, children's rights groups, assert that up to seven million children peddle goods in streets. The number will most likely continue to rise in view of the economic crisis.

GreekReporter.comEuropeDer Spiegel Features Greek Reporter's Idea to "Hire a Greek"
Der Spiegel Features Greek Reporter's Idea to "Hire a Greek"
By Stella Tsolakidou
Click to read Der Spiegel's article (in German)
The esteemed German news magazine Der Spiegel published an extensive report on the innovative website HireaGreek.com, created last February by Greek Reporter. The idea for the initiative that aims to help jobless Greeks find jobs came from Anastasios Papapostolou, founder and editor in chief of Greek Reporter. The platform was created to help the Greek people amidst times of crisis and harsh unemployment in Greece.
The report also noted that Anastasios invented the platform as a means to help Greeks find jobs while they stay in Greece and not to promote the massive expatriation of Greeks in search of jobs abroad. "I don't want to be misunderstood. We never intended to guide unemployed Greeks into fleeing the country in search of a job, but actually we created a platform that they can offer their services from afar and get paid electronically " explained Papapostolou.
Previously, the site had been criticized for selling out desperate Greeks and their services to employers abroad, as well as promoting migration. "It is like an online auction house or Ebay," reads the Spiegel report. However, he explained that negative remarks do not offend him or bring him down because his aim is to bring Greeks and the members of Greek Diaspora into contact.
According to Papapostolou, the Diaspora can help Greeks in the debt-ridden country by giving them long-distance jobs or even offering them positions around the world. The platform does not force anybody to leave the country. Once registered, one can upload their resume as a job seeker and fill in a list about how far they would relocate.
"I would move if I would get a job with better money. I feel Greek. I feel more Greek since I moved to LA in 2006. Being Greek gives you a special energy that never leaves you no matter where you are," Papapostolou told the magazine. The report mentions the millions of visitors to the e-platform, and how it has become a sort of iconic Ministry of Labor that allows Greeks around the world to interact and help each other during these harsh economic times by either asking for a job or offering one.

Home Health Sub-Saharan Africa Ranked High In Global Malaria Burden
Sub-Saharan Africa Ranked High In Global Malaria Burden
The World Health Organization's (WHO) World Malaria Report 2016 reveals that children and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa have greater access to effective malaria control.
The report, which was made available to the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday, by Saira Stewart, Technical officer, WHO, indicates that across the region, a steep increase in diagnostic testing for children and preventive treatment for pregnant women had been reported over the last five years.
It said among all populations at risk of malaria, the use of insecticide-treated nets had expanded rapidly.
But in many countries in the region, substantial gaps in programme coverage remain. Funding shortfalls and fragile health systems are undermining overall progress, jeopardizing the attainment of global targets.
According to the report Sub-Saharan Africa carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden.It said in 2015, the region was home to 90 per cent of malaria cases and 92 per cent of malaria deaths.
It noted that children under five were particularly vulnerable, accounting for an estimated 70 per cent of all malaria deaths.
It said diagnostic testing enables health providers to rapidly detect malaria and prescribe life-saving treatment.
It noted that new findings presented in the report show that, in 2015, approximately half (51 per cent) of children with a fever seeking care at a public health facility in 22 African countries received a diagnostic test for malaria compared to 29 per cent in 2010.
The report said to protect women in areas of moderate and high malaria transmission in Africa, WHO recommends "intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy" (ITPp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine.
It said the treatment, administered at each scheduled antenatal care visit after the first trimester, could prevent maternal and infant mortality, anaemia and the other adverse effects of malaria in pregnancy.
It said according to available data, there was a five-fold increase in the percentage of women receiving the recommended three or more doses of this preventive treatment in 20 African countries; declaring that coverage reached 31 per cent in 2015, up from six per cent in 2010.
It said insecticide-treated nets were the cornerstone of malaria prevention efforts in Africa.
The report found that more than half (53 per cent) of the population at risk in sub-Saharan Africa slept under a treated net in 2015 compared to 30 percent in 2010.
Last month, WHO released the findings of a major five-year evaluation in five countries. The study showed that people who slept under long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) had significantly lower rates of malaria infection than those who did not use a net, even though mosquitoes showed resistance to pyrethroids (the only insecticide class used in LLINs) in all of these areas.
It said malaria remains an acute public health problem, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
According to the report, there were 212 million new cases of malaria and 429 000 deaths worldwide in 2015.
It said there were still substantial gaps in the coverage of core malaria control tools.
It said in 2015, an estimated 43 per cent of the population in sub-Saharan Africa was not protected by treated nets or indoor spraying with insecticides, the primary methods of malaria vector control.
In many countries, health systems are under-resourced and poorly accessible to those most at risk of malaria.
In 2015, a large proportion (36 per cent) of children with a fever were not taken to a health facility for care in 23 African countries.
"We are definitely seeing progress," notes Dr Pedro Alonso, Director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme.
"But the world is still struggling to achieve the high levels of programme coverage that are needed to beat this disease," he said.
At the 2015 World Health Assembly, Member States adopted the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030.
The Strategy set ambitious targets for 2030 with milestones every five years to track progress.It said if global targets are to be met, funding from both domestic and international sources must increase substantially.

Teresa Giudice Shared A Photo After Her Deportation Appeal For Husband Denied
Her daughter Gia is not in the photograph but this photograph showed that she is sad about the fact. Her followers also wished well to her.
Victor Philips
Teresa is reliving the memories and shared the photograph with her family after the deportation of her husband got denied by the ICE. "Joe with the girls decorating eggs, days like this I love having photos," Teresa, 46, captioned a sweet throwback photo of her daughters Gabriella now 15, Audriana, 10, and Milania, 14, cuddling up to Joe, 46, showing off their painted eggs. Her daughter Gia is not in the photograph but this photograph showed that she is sad about the fact. Her followers also wished well to her.

"God is good Trea, you're an excellent parent, and so is Joe. That will never change," one fan wrote. "Praying for you all Teresa that he gets to come home to you and all your girls," wrote a follower. This was assumed that her husband will get back home but all hopes died when ICE denied the appeal.
"We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice's appeal," James J. Leonard Jr., the Giudice family attorney, tells PEOPLE in a statement.
"We have filed a stay with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters." Her husband always lived in the United States but was not able to gain the permanent citizenship of The U.S. and immigrants are subjected to deport if they are found to be involved in "a crime of moral turpitude" or an "aggravated felony," according to U.S. law.
Husband and wife both are accused of hiding their wealth from the government and were also involved in the bankruptcy case. Teresa also went to jail and had to stay there for around 11 months.

Great Quotes from Pope Benedict XVI on the Holy Mass
Fr Richard Heilman April 10, 2016
On the Liturgical Reformers Creating a 'Fabrication, Banal Product'
The liturgical reform, in its concrete realization, has distanced itself even more from its origin. The result has not been a reanimation, but devastation. In place of the liturgy, fruit of a continual development, they have placed a fabricated liturgy. They have deserted a vital process of growth and becoming in order to substitute a fabrication. They did not want to continue the development, the organic maturing of something living through the centuries, and they replaced it, in the manner of technical production, by a fabrication, a banal product of the moment. (Ratzinger in Revue Theologisches, Vol. 20, Feb. 1990, pgs. 103-104)
On Those Who Appreciate the Latin Mass being Wrongly Treated Like 'Lepers'
"For fostering a true consciousness in liturgical matters, it is also important that the proscription against the form of liturgy in valid use up to 1970 [the older Latin Mass] should be lifted. Anyone who nowadays advocates the continuing existence of this liturgy or takes part in it is treated like a leper; all tolerance ends here. There has never been anything like this in history; in doing this we are despising and proscribing the Church's whole past. How can one trust her at present if things are that way?" (Spirit of the Liturgy, 2000)
On the Degeneration of Liturgy and 'Liturgical Fabricators'
"[W]e have a liturgy which has degenerated so that it has become a show which, with momentary success for the group of liturgical fabricators, strives to render religion interesting in the wake of the frivolities of fashion and seductive moral maxims. Consequently, the trend is the increasingly marked retreat of those who do not look to the liturgy for a spiritual show-master but for the encounter with the living God in whose presence all the 'doing' becomes insignificant since only this encounter is able to guarantee us access to the true richness of being." (Cardinal Ratzinger's preface to the French translation of Reform of the Roman Liturgy by Monsignor Klaus Gamber, 1992).
On the 'Disintegration of the Liturgy'
"I am convinced that the crisis in the Church that we are experiencing today is, to a large extent, due to the disintegration of the liturgy." (Milestones: Memoirs 1927-1977)
Against 'Homemade Liturgy'
"It is also worth observing here that the 'creativity' involved in manufactured liturgies has a very restricted scope. It is poor indeed compared with the wealth of the received liturgy in its hundreds and thousands of years of history. Unfortunately, the originators of homemade liturgies are slower to become aware of this than the participants…" (Feast of Faith p. 67-68)
On the Latin Mass as the 'Holiest and Highest Possession'
"I am of the opinion, to be sure, that the old rite should be granted much more generously to all those who desire it. It's impossible to see what could be dangerous or unacceptable about that. A community is calling its very being into question when it suddenly declares that what until now was its holiest and highest possession is strictly forbidden and when it makes the longing for it seem downright indecent." (Ratzinger Salt of the Earth (1997)
On the Danger of Creative "Presiders" at the Mass
In reality what happened was that an unprecedented clericalization came on the scene. Now the priest — the "presider", as they now prefer to call him — becomes the real point of reference for the whole Liturgy. Everything depends on him. We have to see him, to respond to him, to be involved in what he is doing. His creativity sustains the whole thing.
On the Danger of 'Creative Planning of the Liturgy'
Not surprisingly, people try to reduce this newly created role by assigning all kinds of liturgical functions to different individuals and entrusting the "creative" planning of the Liturgy to groups of people who like to, and are supposed to, "make a contribution of their own". Less and less is God in the picture. More and more important is what is done by the human beings who meet here and do not like to subject themselves to a "pre-determined pattern". (Spirit of Liturgy, ch. 3)
On Why the Priest Should Not Face the People During Mass
The turning of the priest toward the people has turned the community into a self-enclosed circle. In its outward form, it no longer opens out on what lies ahead and above, but is locked into itself. The common turning toward the East was not a "celebration toward the wall"; it did not mean that the priest "had his back to the people": the priest himself was not regarded as so important. For just as the congregation in the synagogue looked together toward Jerusalem, so in the Christian Liturgy the congregation looked together "toward the Lord". (Spirit of Liturgy, ch. 3)
On the Priest and People Facing the Same Direction
On the other hand, a common turning to the East during the Eucharistic Prayer remains essential. This is not a case of accidentals, but of essentials. Looking at the priest has no importance. What matters is looking together at the Lord. (Spirit of Liturgy, ch. 3)
On the 'Absurd Phenomenon' of Replacing the Crucifix with the Priest
Moving the altar cross to the side to give an uninterrupted view of the priest is something I regard as one of the truly absurd phenomena of recent decades. Is the cross disruptive during Mass? Is the priest more important than Our Lord? (Spirit of Liturgy, ch. 3)

The trailer for the forthcoming Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, has dropped, and if you're a fan, you've watched it a billion couple times. Movie tickets for the show went on sale, as well. Although some theaters are planning on doing a Star Wars movie marathon (save Rogue One) prior to TLJ, details on that aren't out yet.
December feels SO. FAR. AWAY. No need to worry—the Star Wars galaxy has plenty of books to tide you over until then. Here's a syllabus of sorts to whet your appetite while you wait for December 15th.
The original trilogy that started it all. I confess: I only just picked this up from the bookstore. I've never read the novelization, and what better time to do so than now? In the mass-market paperback form, it's easy to take with you, so don't let the length (600+ pages) get you down.
Okay, okay…so the prequel trilogy is…not a favorite of most people. Having it in graphic novel form makes it a bit more bearable, and it's fun to read. I've read this one and the original trilogy graphic novel by the same author, and they're really well done. At the very least, it's a good refresher. If you have children, it's a great book to read together—start the padawans young!
I just finished this one, and tore through it, despite it being more than 500 pages. Spanning more than 10 years, set before and after Episode IV, this is a love story (without all the mushiness). Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrell have wanted to be Imperial troopers since they were little. When that dream is finally realized, they're ecstatic—until Thane becomes disillusioned and joins the Rebellion, while Ciena stays loyal to the Empire. You'll have to read it to find out whether their love—and friendship—survives.
If you're looking for a Leia book, this is the one you should read. Taking place before The Force Awakens, the book finds General Leia Organa as a respected senator. With the Empire no more, there should be peace, but there's something brewing in the galaxy. As I mentioned in one of my other posts, while I read this, I heard Carrie Fisher's voice, and it was just splendid. Gray brings the world to life, and I didn't want this book to end. I'm not even going to hide my undying love for this book.
This book comes out at the end of October, but it sounds like a must-have. It may be a middle-grade book, but that doesn't make it any less fun. Set on a cargo ship headed to Canto Bight, deckhands tell stories of the things they've heard about the famous Luke Skywalker. Another good addition to the collection for the young Jedi in your life.
Even though I'm die-hard rebel scum, sometimes you have to go to the Dark Side, too. This is one of the new books recently released in the SW world, and it centers on Captain Phasma, briefly seen in TFA. Known for her brutality, she remains an enigma—until now.
For the 40th anniversary of Episode IV, this book brings together multiple well-known authors (Nnedi Okorofor, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Greg Rucka, and more) and tells stories of moments from the original film…but from a different point of view. Think of hearing from Aunt Beru. Or Grand Moff Tarkin. This book is a refreshing collection of new takes on familiar stories.
I didn't even touch on Ahsoka's book, or the handbooks like The Jedi Path, The Imperial Handbook, or the Book of Sith. And comics—the comics! So many great ones—Doctor Aphra, Poe Dameron…seriously, between the books, the comics, the children's books, the handbooks and manuals, you're more than covered if you want to immerse yourself in everything Star Wars until the movie.


Cage Warriors 98 welcomes five new bouts to its October 20 card with Jai Herbert and Donovan Desmae set to clash at The Genting Arena, Birmingham.
The Cage Warriors 98 card is really starting to stack up.
Taking place at Birgingham's Genting Arena on Saturday 20 October, a further five fights have been added to the card this week.

Herbert (6-1) made a successful Cage Warriors debut in his last outing, earning a unanimous decision win over Erdi Karatas at Cage Warriors 94.
The Wolverhampton man returns to action against Belgium's Desmae (11-5), with notable wins over Richard Williams and Aiden Lee under the Cage Warriors banner.
Ireland's Tuke (4-2) is set to make his eagerly-awaited Cage Warriors debut, against 45-fight veteran Jazbutis (20-25), who is looking to add to his 11 career finishes.
Also on the card, former lightweight title contender Alexander Jacobsen (9-3) looks to get back into winning ways against Perry Goodwin.
Undefeated bantamweights will collide when Scotland's Scott Malone (3-0) takes on England's Adam Amarasinghe (3-0).
Finally, a welterweight bout between George McManus (1-1) and Josh Plant (2-2) has also been added to the card, with both men set to make their respective Cage Warriors debuts.
The fight card is subject to change ahead of the event. Correct at time of original publication.

Shraddha Srinath, one of the popular Kannada actresses, is going to make her debut in T-town with `Jersey', says that the beautiful emotions in the script prompted her to grab the offer with both her hands. "Very rarely does a heroine get to act in such a strong role which showcases two different phases of her life," Before making a foray into Tollywood, the actress had already tasted success in Kannada and Tamil movies.
She plays Sara in Jersey and she is pretty happy about her role. She matched acting strides with reigning star Nani. On working with Nani, she said, "Not once during the shoot Nani got irritated with my re-takes or language hiccups and encouraged me a lot throughout the film. The film runs on our onscreen chemistry. It has come out really well. We play young lovers who are madly in love with each other and then turn husband and wife who fight all the time on various issues,"
Finally, Shraddha says that another reason why she has given a nod for the film was the entire team. Her producers, director Gowtam, Anirudh have made the film in such a beautiful slice-of-life manner that many will connect to the emotions of Sara and Arjun at once.

Unite regional officer Mark Pettifer said: "This will be the first NHS trust to have signed up to the charter in the UK and is a significant move which, hopefully, will lead other public-sector employers to follow suit.
"It is a template for tolerance and equality in the workplace."

[UPDATE] Robbinsdale's Nyberg Photography Is Being Extorted on Yelp
Monday, April 6, 2015 by Susan Du in News
Nyberg Photography currently has zero stars on Yelp as the review site tries to figure out the scam.
When Brad Nyberg received an email from what seemed like a potential client asking about a photography session, he happily responded with information about his studio. But the subsequent response was less cordial. The emailer threatened to launch an online smear campaign against his business unless Nyberg paid $299.
Nyberg ignored the obvious scam, filing the correspondence away. But warnings kept coming. "Hey, I don't know if you got my last email, but negative reviews are going up now," read one. He ignored those too.

Soon, fake Yelp users started to post scathing reviews of his studio.
That left Nyberg and his wife, Renee, to call all the online business review sites where they'd been targeted in hopes of clearing their reputation. So far, they've only managed to get one bad Yelp review removed.
Now they're pleading with clients to post honest reviews -- good or bad, as long as they're truthful. Beyond that, their hands are tied.
The scam has targeted photographers throughout the country, Nyberg says. He heard through the grapevine that a studio in Kansas City and another in New Jersey had received the same threats.
Photography is a passion job, he says, so it's not like anybody in the industry is raking in cash.
"They targeted us, but they could use the exact same message to target plumbers or florists or other small businesses," Nyberg says. "A company like Target has the resources where they could have their lawyers go out and brush the negative reviews. But a small, two-person outfit like my company, we can't afford that."
The Nybergs bonded over photography as a hobby when they started dating about nine years ago. Then they started shooting friends' weddings. With the recent birth of their third child, they decided to take a leap to the dream of owning their own business. The studio is their only source of income.
"Normally this month is our big booking month, where we book out a couple more summer events and also next spring," Nyberg says. "It's been really quiet, and we don't know if that has to do with the negative reviews. Everything we get comes from online, so if they search wedding photographers and a bunch of negative reviews come up for us, they'll just go to the next photographer on their list."
[UPDATE] 5:48 p.m.
Nyberg Photography now has only five-star reviews on Yelp.

Shawn began to study the art of playing Shakuhachi in 2003. His love for playing, and for this art form drove him to immerse himself in learning the craftsmanship needed to make Shakuhachi. Shawn followed his passion for Shakuhachi by rigorously studying and learning to master the art of Shakuahichi making. Shawn has studied with Shakuhachi sensei's such as Bill Shozan Schultz, Riley Riley, Kazushi Matama, and his main sensei Kaoru Kakizaki. Shawn has completed most of studies here in Los Angeles, CA and has also traveled to Japan many times throughout the years to further develop his craftsmanship and Shakuhachi making techniques and skills. Shawn has developed strong partnerships and mentorships with sensei's Takahashi Toyomi, sensei John Kozen Neptune, Monty Levinson, Tom Deaver, and Shingo Kimura. When making Shakuhachi, Shawn's goals and directive is to craft Shakuhachi as it would be made traditionally in Japan, and to always maintain the integrity of the best practices and historical techniques used when making Shakuhachi. Shawn has been able to accomplish this through his training in Los Angeles, as well as the many lessons he's had in Japan, and the time he's spent working with top makers while in Japan. Traditionally, the old-style of traditional Japanese made Shakuhachi has been a well kept secret within a makers lineage, however Shawn has been very fortunate to have people willing to teach him and share their techniques and information with him. This has enabled Shawn to make very high-quality professional level jiari Shakuhachi.


Liverpool will be bringing Juventus forward Paulo Dybala to Anfield this summer, if Mohamed Salah agrees on a deal with Real Madrid.
The Egyptian king has been the most profitable forward for the Reds this season, with his 43 goals run of impressive form, and has led the Merseysiders to their first Champions League final in almost 10 years, where they will be facing off the Los Blancos.
While Madrid being known for acquiring best young talents in Europe, will be looking to knock on the Reds door when the transfer window pops open this summer.
With Madrid aging attack (Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale have all passed the age 30-mark), Zinedine Zidane keen on returning the best attack in Europe back to his team, as they will be looking to sign the ex-Roma team to Santiago Bernabeu.
However, should Salah become interested in being a Galatico, Jurgen Klopp already spotted a potential replacement to fill his void at Anfield. But the quest to bring in Dybala could be a lot difficult as Juventus has always rebuffed all offers considering the sale of their forward.
According to some reports in the media, the 24-year-old Argentine forward is might finally leave the Old Lady for a new challenge in Europe, with Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Champions League to have shown their interests.
The Biaconeris' boss Massimiliano Allegri, whose future with the club is on a thin rope, revealed that the Argentine forward will be staying put at Turin this summer.
"At the end of this season, we will have a meeting like usual to program next season," he said.
Inspite of all rumours surrounding the departure of Mo Salah to Bernabeu, Klopp is confident his Egyptian forward will be staying put at Anfield but identified Paulo Dybala as the best replacement he could get should a deal pull through with Madrid.
