Please Stop Sending Terrifying Alerts to My Cell Phone
Tom Bartlett
Amber, Blue, Silver, Camo: Is it really a good idea to push so many alarming messages to the public?
The ever-expanding list of alerts risks making us blasé about truly urgent mass warnings.Photograph: Josep Lago/Getty Images
Last month a police officer in Houston was run over and killed during a traffic stop. The suspect got away. The next day, millions of phones across Texas buzzed with news of the officer's death after the state's Department of Public Safety blasted out what's known as a Blue Alert. This prompted considerable concern and confusion. A man in Odessa, some 500 miles away, spoke for many when he tweeted: "wtf is a blue alert?"
Blue Alerts are mass notifications, now used in 35 states, that are sent to mobile phones and flashed on electronic highway signs when a suspect on the loose is thought to be an "imminent and credible threat to law enforcement." The hope is that pinging the public will lead to tips for the police, and then a speedier capture. It's an idea that originated with the better-known Amber Alert program, named after a 9-year-old abductee from Arlington, Texas, who was murdered, which aims to help authorities recover kidnapped children. Along with Blue and Amber alerts, there are Silver Alerts, issued for elderly people who are lost and might be suffering from dementia, and Camo Alerts, dispatched in at least three states when current or former members of the military are missing and thought to be a threat to themselves or others.
The appeal of doing everything we can in the aftermath of a horrific crime is powerful. But there's little evidence that any of the rainbow of alerts have much impact at all. In fact, these alerts are best described as "crime control theater"—a term criminologists use for programs that merely foster the perception that the government is taking swift and significant action.
Each time a new alert is proposed, the success of Amber Alerts is cited as precedent. In 2018, 161 Amber Alerts were sent out, in cases involving 203 children. Of those, 34 children were recovered based on an Amber Alert tip. That's about 17 percent. Since it began in 1996, the return of 967 children has been credited to the program. If Amber works, the thinking goes, then Blue, Silver, and Camo should work too. But does the track record of Amber really match that seemingly unassailable reputation?
It depends on how you measure success. Read the detailed annual Amber reports published by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and you'll notice that the majority of child-abduction cases involve those taken by parents or other family members, often in the midst of a custody dispute. That doesn't mean these situations aren't threatening, but they are not the stranger-in-a-white-van scenarios we tend to imagine when our phones buzz. If you search through news reporting of the events that led to Amber alerts, you'll also notice that many appear to fall short of the "imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death" guideline for their use from the US Department of Justice.
Some of these alerts are certainly justified, and rescuing nearly 1,000 children over two decades is far from nothing. But when researchers dig into those numbers, they start to seem less impressive. In a 2016 paper, criminologists examined 448 child-abduction cases in which Amber Alerts were sent out to the public. (In 401 of those cases, the abducted child or children were recovered unharmed; in 88, an alert-inspired tip was credited with the recovery.) The study found that outcomes for the children didn't vary all that much. That is, children were typically taken by a family member and returned home safely; and this was true regardless of whether the Amber Alert had brought in useful tips. It's likely that the alerts sometimes led to a speedier recovery of those children—which is clearly a great thing—but the researchers didn't find support for the assertion that the Amber program saves lives.
Also, in the vast majority of the cases the researchers examined, it still took more than three hours for the child to be found after an alert was issued. The timing is important because the grim fact is that most children who are abducted and murdered are killed during those first three hours. Amber Alerts almost always come after that crucial window has elapsed.
The alert programs that Amber has inspired are even more dubious. Take Blue Alerts. In the case of the officer who was killed in Houston, it doesn't appear that the suspect was in the midst of a random murder spree against cops or anyone else. (Side note: He was apprehended after police discovered him hiding at a friend's house.) That doesn't lessen the severity of his crime, but there were plenty of murder suspects on the lam, and we didn't send out massive public alerts for all of them. Wouldn't it be smarter to prioritize suspects who pose the greatest general threat rather those whose victims fit certain criteria?

Camo Alerts come freighted with a different set of drawbacks. There is understandable worry about suicide rates among members of the military. But sending out a Camo Alert when missing military members are thought to be suicidal could easily backfire. For starters, broadcasting someone's mental health struggles probably won't do much to improve that person's state of mind. Plus it makes it seem as if military members are somehow uniquely vulnerable and therefore in need of special protections, when that doesn't seem to be the case: The Department of Defense puts the rate of active-duty military suicides for 2018 at 24.8 per 100,000 troops, which is roughly equivalent to that of the general population when you adjust for age and gender. (The suicide rate for veterans, according to the US Department of Veteran Affairs, is slightly higher at 27.7 per 100,000.)
If we're really convinced that Camo Alerts will save lives, why stop there? Construction workers kill themselves at about twice the rate, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as current and former members of the military. Should we add Hard-Hat Alerts to the mix?
An ever-expanding list of mostly pointless alerts risks making us blasé about truly urgent mass warnings. Too often the arguments for these programs focus on whether we care about the group they purport to help. I'd argue it's possible to care deeply about children, police officers, and military members without being in favor of false alarms.

Girls are more likely than boys to never go to school (UNESCO Institute for Statistics). According to UNICEF, every year, 12 million girls around the world are married as children, often leading to early pregnancy, putting their education and health at risk.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is no stranger to scandals. First there was Bridgegate, when he made countless New York and New Jersey residents sit in traffic for hours after shutting down lanes to the George Washington Bridge.
And who could forget the time Christie backed Donald Trump, after repeatedly criticizing him and suggesting he wasn't fit for office? Oh and what about when he used public funds to take a helicopter ride to one of his son's baseball games? That was great.
The man's political history is basically a laundry list of questionable activities. But his latest move is something straight out of a comic book villain's playbook. If you were driving through the state of New Jersey this past weekend, you might've noticed that there were several signs that read "All State Parks Closed." Now with the looming July 4th holiday upon us, you'd think that was an odd move, especially because there are going to be so many families who want to go outside, enjoy the weather, and celebrate America's Independence Day together.
But as it turns out, there's only one New Jersey family enjoying NJ's beaches this July 4th: Christie's.
Aerial shots from New Jersey Advance Media show Christie's family enjoying the sun and sand even though all other Jersey residents are banned from going on the same public beach.
Other families who tried to go to the beach were reportedly denied entry from police. After lounging on the beach with his family, Christie took a helicopter from the Berkeley beach to the state capital in Trenton to discuss -- wait for it -- the shutdown of public beaches.
A reporter asked Christie if he got any sun, and the governor responded, "I didn't get any sun today." When reporters pointed out the photos that showed Christie chillaxing on the beach just moments before, Brian Murray, a spokesperson for the governor said, "Yes, the governor was on the beach briefly today talking to his wife and family before heading into the office...he had a baseball hat on." The baseball hat comment was intended to clarify that no, Christie didn't get any sun, but yes, he was at the beach. If you wanted a more fitting dialogue exchange to sum up the current state of American politics, there it is ladies and gentlemen.
When asked whether or not it was fair for him to use a state-sponsored beach house during the shutdown, Christie responded with, "Run for governor, and you can have a residence there."

When drilling with two hoses, the weakest part of our human powered "drilling rig" is not the human motor or even the plastic drill bit. It is the lack of sufficient water flow. Water flow is the most critical part of drilling a well from a DIY standpoint.
If you have washed down a few wells using two hoses for water flow you probably have thought you could have gone much deeper if the pipe had not begun to stick. In the area I live, frequently down around the 30 foot level, drilling actually gets easier. The problem is when I have to stop to add a piece of PVC, sand down in the hole collapses on the pipe and the pipe gets stuck. With two hoses I dont' have enough water flow to wash the hole out enough to get the pipe free.
A 30 foot well is plenty for many folks. A little deeper would frequently be better. To do that, you need more drilling fluid (water) flow pushing those cuttings back up to the top of the hole.
If you could fanangle it, ten hoses would not be too many.
Enter the lowly mud pump. This machine can make a huge difference in your drilling. If you can buy or borrow one to drill with, do it. I'm not so keen on renting them because first time drilling projects tend to not finish on time and by the time you pay four or five days rental on a mud pump, you could have nearly bought one. If you only want to use a mud pump for one well, consider buying one and selling it when you are finished. Better yet, buy a used one and sell it when you are finished.
Two hoses put out about eight gallons per minute (GPM). I have a minimal mud pump that pumps about 100 GPM (it is routine for mud pumps to put out 200 to 500 GPM). In the video below I measure a single household hose at 4.25 GPM. Then I measure my mud pump at 107 GPM. That calculates to the mud pump putting out 12.5 times as much water as two hoses. But the advantage of a mud pump does not end there.
A mud pump permits us to set up a re-circulating drilling fluid (water) system and add bentonite to our drilling fluid. Bentonite hardens the sandy walls of our well as we drill. The hardened walls do not collapse when we stop drilling. You usually can take 30 minutes to add a piece of PVC and the drilling pipe will still be free! Several folks have reported stopping for the day and finding the hole still open the next morning. And the advantage does not end there.
Because the sandy hole will stay open on its own, we are no longer restricted to open drill bits. As you know, we have been using drill bits that are simply pieces of PVC or metal pipe with teeth cut in the edges. This is so when we drill down to depth, we can insert a smaller well screen pipe down through our drill pipe. This technique gets the well screen down there before the hole can collapse.
Obviously it would be useful to have a cutting edge or edges in the middle of the drill bit. With a mud pump system we can use these more efficient drill bits. We can drill the hole, remove the drillpipe, and then insert the well screen because the hole will stay open long enough to do it.
To demonstrate the dramatic difference between the GPM output of a mud pump vs. two hoses, I have made somewhat of a silly video that appears below. I know it is like racing a bicycle against a Ferrari but take a look anyway if you will.
I've never held a fire hose but I can only imagine how hard it must be.
This little hose requires a firm grip!


The Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP) at SAMS is the most diverse collection of its kind in the world, with ca 3000 strains of marine and freshwater algae, protists and seaweeds.
In phylogenetic terms, The Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP) is the most diverse culture collection in the world. Some of these cultures have been in cultivation for over a century while others have been added in the past few months - we frequently isolate new strains to add to the collection. The collection was started by Professor Ernst Georg Pringsheim and is made up of a wide range of taxa including cyanobacteria, eukaryotic phytoplankton, thalloid red algae, multicellular seaweeds, free-living non-pathogenic protozoa, and a small number of potentially pathogenic protozoa. Strains are primarily maintained by serial sub-culture although about 30% of the algal strains and 2% of the protozoan strains are cryopreserved to maximise genetic stability.
CCAP also offers a wide range of services in addition to maintaining the collection and supplying cultures. We accept standard deposits of cultures of algae and free-living, non-pathogenic protozoa curate deposits of valuable strains for confidential safekeeping for the depositor as an International Depository Authority (IDA) CCAP also accepts patented strains of (a) freshwater and terrestrial algae and cyanobacteria; (b) non-pathogenic free-living protozoa; and (c) marine algae and cyanobacteria other than large seaweeds.
Cultures can be purchased for academic or commercial uses. For details please visit the dedicated CCAP website.
CCAP supports a wide range of research areas at the SAMS including: algal biofuels, biotechnology, biodiversity, food safety (eg toxic algae) polar science. The collection also has the potential to support other research topics including in: ecotoxicology, mariculture, biomarkers (eg for palaeo-environmental changes).

Frontier Alliance International (FAI) Announces Urgent Night of Prayer for the Kurds Event at the Trump Hotel in Washington October 27th at 7:00pm
GOLAN HEIGHTS, Israel, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dalton Thomas, founder of FAI (one of the only Christian ministries providing medical relief on the front lines to the Kurds) said, "On October 6th, I was in NYC for 24 hours doing a round of interviews at Fox News about our new film Sheep Among Wolves II concerning the underground church in Iran. On the way to the airport to return to the Middle East, I heard the breaking news that President Trump intended to withdraw US forces from Rojava (northern Syria) and step aside for Turkish invasion. By the time my plane landed on the other side, the deed was done and President Erdogan had announced the commencement of his long promised incursion."
"My phone lit up with texts from Kurds all over the Middle East asking what was happening. Meanwhile back in the US, friends and enemies alike bombarded President Trump with criticism. He responded by reaffirming his commitment to withdraw from the Middle East and its "endless wars." Meanwhile, after an incident off the coast of Saudi Arabia on October 11, the Pentagon ordered the deployment of 3,000 US troops to the Kingdom to assist. Within the same week, US troops withdrew from one location and were mobilized to another."
"As the international community debates whether the Kurds are heroes, terrorists, mercenaries, or friends, the geopolitical tectonic plates of the Middle East are shifting with great consequence." -Dalton Thomas, President of FAI
It wasn't until the world saw footage of Turkish-employed Al Qaeda jihadists (the same ones the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan to destroy) executing civilians and a Kurdish female champion of human rights on camera for Twitter that international scorn began to heap upon the man who aims to restore the Ottoman Caliphate (the original Islamic State)?Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Caught in the middle of a clash between two radical regimes, the Kurds were now forced with a choice between kissing the ring of Iran's debtor in Damascus or bowing before the blade of the butcher in Ankara. On the brink of another genocide the Kurds and their local comrades swallowed the shame and called the Syrian regime for help. With bated breath, the world is watching their smartphones wondering what will happen next as American and Russian convoys pass each other on Syrian highways.
"The Kurdish proverb "We have no friends but the mountains" is something we intend to render obsolete. Join us in praying and laboring toward a future where they have need of mountains no more." -Dalton Thomas, President of FAI
In light of the tragedies we are seeing towards the Kurdish people, FAI has called for an emergency Night of Prayer for the Kurds and will be hosting the evening at Trump Hotel in Washington, DC. Those who love the Kurds will pray, strategize, and declare the preservation of life amidst the raging sea of jihad and genocide that is engulfing our stateless friends.
The event will neither be a condemnation nor a defense of President Trump or his Middle East policies. We are asking participants to leave partisan politics in the parking lot. We are gathering as Christians to consider and pray about issues that are much larger in scope than the decisions of a sitting President or the evolving dynamics of isolated geopolitical events. We aim to present the big picture, pray how the Lord would have us respond, and catalyze a Kurdish solidarity movement in the United States with the intention of also provoking the international community to do the same.
To register and find out more info about the event, go to PrayForTheKurds.org.

Since launching in 2011, FAI teams have been laying foundations in strategic regions throughout the 10/40 Window.

NATO's China step signals not hesitating to take bold steps in political sphere amid alliance presence questioned
Serife Cetin | 06.12.2019
The rise of China was on the NATO agenda for the first time in the history of the alliance during its summit held earlier this week in London, which was celebrating the 70th anniversary of the alliance.
At a time when the alliance's presence was questioned by the leaders of some member states, and the allegations of "brain death" were discussed, NATO's China step sends a message that the alliance is "still alive" and does not hesitate to take bold steps in the political sphere.
The China move as well has brought controversy over whether China will become "new Russia" for the alliance.
'Rise of China not one-dimensional issue'
"This is the first time NATO leaders had a discussion and addressed together -- based on our analysis -- our assessments, a discussion about both the opportunities connected to the rise of China, but also the challenges," said NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg on the leaders' summit agenda.
"We all acknowledge that this is not a one-dimensional issue," said Stoltenberg.
The NATO chief also said China is the world's second-largest defense spender following the U.S., and has recently demonstrated new modern technologies, including nuclear weapons, but it is not the "new adversary" of the alliance.
"The economic rise of China provides great economic opportunities. It has lifted millions of people out of poverty, but at the same time, we see that China invests heavily in new modern capabilities," said Stoltenberg.
"A few weeks ago, they displayed a new intercontinental ballistic missile, able to reach Europe and North America. They displayed hypersonic missiles, gliders," he added.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Ian Lesser, vice president of The German Marshall Fund, said that it is "not surprising" for NATO to discuss China in the latest summit.
NATO provides an ideal platform for European and North American allies to better understand China and conduct joint discussions on this issue, Lesser said.
"The point is to make the alliance a more active place for transatlantic discussion and coordination around China. They don't want to create a new adversary," he added.
A new political initiative, at a time when NATO's effectiveness is questioned by some circles, is useful to show that the alliance can still make decisions and act jointly in unity and solidarity.
Lesser also said on the matter that China's move demonstrated that NATO can conduct political discussions on "big pictures and strategies."

Travelex bonds slide as cyber attack chokes banks' forex sales
Lawrence White, Abhinav Ramnarayan
LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - The bonds of travel money provider Travelex fell to an eight-month low on Friday after a ratings agency warned about the potential financial hit from a cyber attack last week that crippled its systems.
Travelex's outstanding bonds maturing in May 2022 hit their lowest since April 2019 on Friday, dropping to a cash price of 97.02 after opening on Wednesday at 102.1.
The yield on this bond, which moves inversely to price and represents the company's borrowing costs, rose as high as 9.57% on Friday, also the highest in over nine months. Since Tuesday's close, the yield has jumped 2.7 percentage points.
Ratings agency Standard & Poor's on Thursday night placed the company on CreditWatch negative, meaning it could downgrade the lender's debt rating if it ends up recording a hefty financial hit from the incident.
Shares in Travelex parent Finablr have fallen 25% since Jan. 2 when hackers using a software virus forced the company to take its systems offline.
A spokeswoman for Travelex said the firm had no update on when the problems might be resolved.
The hack has severely hurt British banks' ability to sell foreign currencies to holidaymakers, with a majority of high street lenders relying on Travelex to provide forex online and in their branches.
Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, and the banking arms of supermarket giants Tesco and Sainsbury's were all unable to provide online foreign exchange on Friday.
Several of the lenders including Barclays said supplies of foreign currency were running out in their branches as well.
None of them could provide a firm update on when they might be able to resume normal service.
British media reports said people claiming to be responsible for the hack have threatened to release sensitive Travelex customer data if a $6 million ransom is not paid.
Travelex, however, has denied that any data has been stolen and has not reported a breach to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
"We are in contact with Travelex and giving advice on potential personal data issues following the recent ransomware attack. The company has not reported a data breach," a spokeswoman for the ICO said.

Кьопоолу е вид ястие от смлени или счукани печени патладжани и чесън, характерно за българската кухня. Съществуват и варианти, в които към патладжаните се добавят и червен пипер и домати.

Приготовление, сервиране и консумация
Традиционно кьопоолуто се приготвя от изпечени във фурна или на жар патладжани, които се обелват и счукват в дървена гаванка. В съвременната кухня патладжаните по-често се смилат, вместо да се счукват. Към така получената каша се добавя чесън, олио, сол, магданоз и винена киселина или лимонов сок.

Към кьопоолуто могат да се прибавят и печен и обелен червен пипер, които също се счукват или смилат. Съществува и вариант с попарени и обелени смлени червени домати. Възможно е също да се сложат и счукани орехови ядки.

Най-често кьопоолуто се консумира като предястие, отделно ястие с хляб или добавка към сандвичи. Сервира се студено. Възможно е да се поднесе и със сирене. Приготвя се и като зимнина.

Произход и употреба на името
Според речника на чуждите думи в българския език думата кьопоолу (köpekoğlu) идва от турски и означава "кучи син, подлец". Същият речник дава като второ значение на думата вид ястие от печени патладжани, но не посочва връзката между двете значения.

Kobe Bryant was back on the court and scoring plenty, but when the dust had settled in Los Angeles it was the Houston Rockets enjoying the glory - James Harden's 32 points and 6 assists saw the Rockets win 108-90 in an eventful opening night game.
Watching on with fascination, Kobe Bryant made his return to the court on the Staples Center, acknowledging Trevor Ariza and James Harden, but the returning shooting-guard did not even glance at former teammate Dwight Howard. It was though, Houston's towering center who got the first points on the board and the Lakers fans were hardly pleased.
Those groans of displeasure would soon turn into joy when Kobe Bryant got his first points in what seemed like an eternity. A pullup jumper on the left flank proved a lot for the Black Mamba but by the end of the first quarter amounted to little, with a 31-19 lead out for Houston early, helped on by Jason Terry's late couple of three-pointers.
All the play seemed to involve Kobe Bryant. James Harden managed to nail a three pointer even when impeded by the Lakers talisman, before Bryant himself picked out a peach of a pass, finding Wesley Johnson for the slam.
Although they assembled a 7-0 run in less than a minute, the Lakers continued to chase the game. A triumverate of scores on the fast-break would still see the Lakers trailing by 17 points during halftime.
Kobe Bryant was showing glimpses of the player the Lakers had missed, but like many had suggested the problem of no depth to back that up remained. As for James Harden, he was stellar along with Terrence Jones who had some decent figures over the first two quarters.
With one quarter remaining, the Lakers were down by 16. However, they got much closer. 5 turnovers for Rockets saw the lead cut to six, with shots parched too. Despite this, they would continue to stretch out the lead with Harden's free throws making up to 30 points by the end of the quarter.
As the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Kanye West aligned the courtside seats, they were far from satisfied when the Lakers showed no signs of a comeback - any hard work was unravelled.
James Harden enjoyed a terrific game, enough to sit out for the fourth while Howard was under the microscope. While his free-throws were at times baffling, he found Terrence Jones with a swift assist before the real storyline that was on everyone's lips occurred.
As Howard racked up the board and Kobe was in his way, the tall center was swinging his elbows and two appeared to strike Kobe Bryant. Some words were exchanged and the two were separated. Kobe was issued a personal foul while Dwight got a flagrant foul.
There was some serious cause for concern soon after when Julius Randle was in agony, and it was later revealed that he suffered a broken leg. Bryant consoled Randle before he was carted off.
With the atmosphere now a little mute following the events, all was left was for the Rockets to close out the game, as Harden spearheads them past a mundane Lakers.
32 points and 6 assists by James Harden ensures the Houston Rockets outdo the Lakers, as Kobe Bryant's return in the NBA season opener is spoiled.

Singapore's Changi Airport integrates WeChat Pay for Chinese travellers
By KrASIA Connection
Chinese outbound tourists heading to Singapore will soon be able to buy goods at Changi Airport with a wave of their WeChat Pay app.
WeChat Pay, the e-wallet linked to China's massively popular WeChat messenger has signed a three-year marketing partnership with the Changi Airport Group (CAG), it announced last week.
CAG envisions WeChat Pay to be rolled out at most of the brands at the airport, including its online store iShopChangi, by the end of the year, although it didn't specify which brands exactly would be accepting the e-wallet app. Currently, there are more than 400 retail stores and 140 food and beverage outlets across the four Changi Airport terminals.
CAG will also provide WeChat Pay users exclusive discounts when shopping at Changi Airport and on iShopChangi.
According to CAG, Chinese travelers accounted for around one-third of Changi Airport's total sales last year. In 2017, Chinese outbound tourists made up the biggest source of arrivals into Singapore, and they have also been rated the "biggest spenders" in the island nation.
Edwin Lim, a marketing executive at CAG, said in a statement that the company will be able to send targeted marketing messages to WeChat users.
Grace Yin, operations director at WeChat Pay, added, "Through this collaboration, WeChat Pay will provide a more convenient shopping experience to Chinese tourists in Changi Airport. We hope the collaboration will also provide fresh options and new perspectives to Changi Airport's retail operations. We look forward to a long-lasting and stable partnership between WeChat Pay and Changi Airport."
WeChat Pay' biggest rival, Alipay, is also looking at Singapore as a key market overseas. It already inked a five-year partnership with CAG to roll out acceptance for its mobile wallet airport-wide in 2017, although no new numbers are available on how far that's progressed. Alipay also announced today that it will extend its partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board to drive awareness and Chinese tourist spending.

How Episcopal Community Services helps families access nutritious food and healthful habits
In Carroll Park, one of Philadelphia's oldest social services organizations has transformed a homeless shelter into a community center.

This article was submitted by Episcopal Community Services.
The pandemic upended jobs, housing and an entire economy.
Nationally food insecurity spiked, and Philadelphia has not escaped that impact. In 2021, nearly 29% of Philadelphians are estimated to have faced food insecurity, a rate that grew by a fifth from 2018, according to Feeding America. That is almost double the national average.
In response, Episcopal Community Services (ECS) and its partners have prioritized food accessibility with its expanded community cupboard and programming. One of the communities that ECS serves is Carroll Park, a neighborhood in West Philadelphia that the 151-year-old nonprofit has served for more than 20 years. Originally built as a shelter for families experiencing homelessness, its St. Barnabas Mission facility has transformed into a community center.
"Our outreach activities have fed families in the neighborhood for 10 years, where food insecurity is one concern that we hear about most," says Rhena McClain, director of St. Barnabas Mission. "There has been a dramatic increase in the number of people seeking emergency food over the past several years—and the pandemic has only heightened the challenge of meeting their basic need of accessing food, let alone healthy food."
When St. Barnabas operated as an emergency shelter, protecting the confidentiality and safety of its residents was a priority. "We're now able to welcome more neighbors and become more engaged with the community," she adds.
In recent years, the country's primary standard of care for families experiencing homelessness has changed from a system of congregant shelters like St. Barnabas Mission to one of moving families directly into their own homes. Maintaining its commitment to provide safe housing, ECS tripled the number of units in its Rapid Re-Housing programs–now maintaining 60 stable homes for families experiencing homelessness.
Still, in Carroll Park, ECS collected feedback from the neighborhood through town hall-style meetings—in-person and virtual—to hear directly from the source what they said the area needed. Soft-launched in April 2021, Mission Meals + Market at St. Barnabas Mission provides the following initiatives, with plans for continued growth and additional programming.
A look at the cupboard
Community Food Cupboard
ECS with Philabundance has extended its Community Food Cupboard hours and nearly doubled the number of families it supports. Previously, pre-packaged meal kits were provided, but now with open doors, neighbors select their own groceries, taking only what they want and need in an open-choice market, much like a grocery store. Filling the shelves are fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, non-perishable canned goods, health and hygiene items, and cleaning supplies. The open choice model not only creates a more respectful space but also reduces waste.
Nutrition Education + Workshops
All ECS health and wellness programming and classes have moved to St. Barnabas Mission. Neighbors who fill their fridges and pantries can also fill up on knowledge that supports healthy eating, cooking, and shopping. Classes include SNAP Education and Feed Your Potential 365 in partnership with the Health Promotion Council, Aramark, and the American Heart Association, respectively.
Community Cook-Off
An already-popular volunteer activity, Cook-Off is increasing its outcomes by offering more opportunities for volunteers to prepare meals for seniors experiencing food insecurity. Volunteers will gather weekly to assemble nearly 1,000 nutritious meals in the facility's commercial kitchen. The cooking is done by chefs on staff, then plated and packaged by volunteers. ECS then delivers the meals to four local senior living centers.
Pamela Egleston, director of health and wellness programming, sees the countless opportunities to build a healthier community through more targeted outreach. Previously, ECS' health education and workshops would be hosted at community centers for short-term cohorts.
"By having a constant presence, we hope to retain more families who will come back again and again for interactive workshops, connect with their neighbors, and maintain healthy habits–that, as we all know, are easy to break," Egleston says. "And you can never learn too much."
McClain, a West Philly native, sees how scarce healthy food options are in low-income communities, including this neighborhood she loves.
"I've been in West Philly my whole life. And I know the distance I drive from my home to St. Barnabas … you just don't see a lot of places for food. You see convenience stores and corner stores, but not places to pick up the fresh foods you need to cook for your family," she says.
And these communities are more likely to have to deal with more barriers already, like a lack of easy transportation, less money or irregular income to spend, and health conditions or home obligations making time-consuming, far-by-foot travel an obstacle.
"Simply put, quality food is out of reach by design in neighborhoods like this," McClain adds, but with optimism to change that. "There's the saying 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' But what happens when there aren't any fish in the pond?"
Just as St. Barnabas was a beacon of hope for families experiencing homelessness, ECS' goal is to make sure that this new use of the space will help it remain a hopeful one–one that continues to help families in this neighborhood and beyond.
In-kind donations are critical to the success of Mission Meals + Market, specifically the open-choice Community Food Cupboard. If you would like to help fill the shelves, please email sbm@ecsphilly.org or call 215.528.5407. Generous support from people like you makes all the difference.

One Thing I'm Glad I've Said to My Kids
My boys are now 14 and 12, and we've had our share of conflicts over the years. There were times when I was so frustrated with them that I just wanted to give up. I no longer remember the specific cause, but I do know that there were times when I decided to do just that. I walked away, resigned.
But after a few times of walking away, I realized I never meant it. And so I started telling them that. I would say, "I'm frustrated, and I don't know how we're going to get through this, but I'm not giving up. You're my son and I love you, so I can't."
At first, I don't think they believed me. They would ask, "Why? Just go away."
And the answer to that was always, "I love you, even though we're going through a rough patch."
I've come to realize that since I started saying this years ago, it's given a certain stability to our conflicts today. They don't have the doubt that I used to sense when they were younger, that somehow I would stop loving them.
As parents, we love our children so completely that I think sometimes it's impossible to believe anyone would doubt our feelings - especially the object of those feelings. But even though actions can speak louder than words, words are important, too.
If I'd never said anything but kept showing up, eventually my kids would have realized that I'll always be there for them.
But by telling them as well as showing them, my kids understood that I was making a conscious decision to be there for them. And that reassurance has made a big difference.
What are you glad you've said to your children?


Following Tamil Blockbuster Vikram Vedha, Shraddha Srinath has bagged the lead heroine role in the untitled upcoming film of Arulnithi.
"Yes, her role will be a kind of mysterious shade, where audiences will keep wondering who is she and what's her intention? It's somewhat similar to her roles in Vikram Vedha and U-Turn," said Barath Neelakandan, who is wielding the megaphone for this film.
Produced by SP Cinemas, the film has music composed by Darbuka Siva.


My focus has always been in the book arts. In 2004 I completed a master's degree at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, with a concentration in art. I spent much of my studio time studying Japanese woodblock printing, sumi-e (Japanese brushwork and painting), typography and letterpress printing, and artist's books. I also studied Zen Buddhism, which prompted me to begin writing haiku as a form of active meditation. During this time I was exposed to two important collections of artist's books, at Wesleyan's Special Collections and Archives and at Yale's Arts of the Book. As the final requirement for the degree, I designed, printed and bound a limited edition artist's book, Water for Tea, which combined many of the elements I had been studying and experimenting with while at Wesleyan. This artist's book uses some of the basic elements of the book form as a jumping off point for my creativity. Calligraphy, brushwork, handmade papers, letterpress printing, color, translucency, and my own words are combined to engage the reader/viewer in a playful and active way. It is a book that requires time and active participation from the reader, much like haiku and sumi-e drawing which both present minimal amounts of information. I ask the reader to use his or her own imagination, memories and associations to fully experience the poems, the drawings and the book as a whole. Taking time to breathe(!) and being in the present moment are necessary requirements for good haiku or brushwork, and important aspects of experiencing Water for Tea.

Today's announcement of a strategic partnership between Mitel and Talkdesk, as detailed on No Jitter here and here, is more than just an agreement for Mitel to resell Talkdsesk -- it tells a lot about the state of the marketplace and how market leaders are dealing with the constant rate of disruptive change.
Under the new partnership, Mitel will offer MiCloud Connect CX, an over-the-top (OTT) public cloud contact center solution powered by Talkdesk.
If the idea of Mitel partnering with an OTT cloud provider sounds familiar, there's a reason: Last year, Mitel launched MiCloud Engage, powered by Serenova. I'm always impressed when a vendor embraces a potential competitor to strengthen its portfolio. The all-too-familiar alternative is to pretend that current solutions are perfect for all customers.
However, the key to success in these partnerships is a complementary fit, and the alliance with Serenova wasn't complementary enough. Serenova's solution also had some significant overlap with Mitel's Contact Center offerings in terms of functionality and complexity. Talkdesk, on the other hands, offers a quicker and simpler implementation that better addresses the needs of Mitel's smaller customers.
The partnership also points to an overarching pattern with other sectors of cloud services: Revenue growth must be a top priority. We are early in CCaaS, and the winners of tomorrow will be the companies that get users today. Growth is more critical than features and profits. Cloud services is a long game, and we have seen that the providers that focus on the top line eventually win at the bottom line -- sometimes it takes decades.
That's why this deal is intriguing for both Mitel and Talkdesk. It accelerates growth for both companies in CCaaS in ways they otherwise wouldn't have been able to pull off.
One of the more interesting aspects of this partnership is the current trajectory of Talkdesk. The young company raised $100 million in new capital last year and is using the funds to invest heavily in sales and marketing. It has been successfully transitioning from being an unknown to a serious contender in CCaaS. Mitel will be able to take advantage of that momentum to go into new accounts as well as protect legacy accounts that are looking at next-gen CCaaS. Rather than having to compete against this disruptive market force, it can leverage it.
For Talkdesk, the partnership provides a warm introduction into Mitel's customer base and a significant expansion of its channel network. Mitel's base is filled with small- and medium-size contact centers that are a good fit for Talkdesk's solution. MiCloud Connect CX can be installed into an existing Mitel environment in a matter of days or weeks rather than the months it could take to implement a more traditional contact center. It could be a great story for Mitel customers.
There is a gap in the marketplace at the moment where many UC and UCaaS end users want both a best-of-breed approach, yet fewer providers. Offering a true enterprise-grade UC and UCaaS solution with a strong CCaaS should be compelling for Mitel -- and its customers.
It's a tough break for Serenova. The company continues to struggle with market momentum. CxEngage is certainly a viable solution, but often overlooked by prospects. The company rebranded a few years ago, yet for many, the former LiveOps branding seems to have more goodwill and recognition than the Serenova name.
I respect Mitel for making the change. CCaaS is moving fast, and if something isn't working then a response is needed quickly. There's a tremendous amount of investment and innovation occurring in CCaaS. All the pieces on the board are moving, including the economics, value proposition, scope, and providers.
Regarding the provider landscape, we have seen Amazon Web Services and Twilio enter the CCaaS space, Cisco launched its Customer Journey Platform, Vonage and RingCentral made strategic acquisitions, and multiple new CCaaS providers emerged last month at Enterprise Connect 2019. The disruption cycle, formerly measured in years, is now measured in months, and this pace is expected to continue. That probably means more creative partnerships like this one are likely in the future.


Growing up in a household that included grandparents and a young uncle, I never thought about home management. We never really brought the subject up.
What I knew was that my grandparents worked while my uncle and I went to school. We were responsible for our rooms (when I finally got my own room) and our schoolwork.
My grandmother made sure the bills were paid, the house was clean, clothes were available when my uncle, grandfather and I looked for them (although my grandfather was partial to his overalls), and she managed to keep us all fed. Never mind that my uncle occasionally fed the neighborhood boys after school.
The idea of preparing me to be able to take care of myself in college couldn't have been the reason for the privilege of chores.
For three years, I didn't have to cook my own meals. Cleaning my room reminded me of being back at home. The only schedules I had to manage were class and rehearsal schedules.
Once I started joining and heading student organizations, the juggling became a little more intense, but not much. I managed to maintain my focus for three years that way.
Then, I decided to move off campus. Different story.
I had to make sure my portion of the rent was paid?!
This wasn't something the school administration automatically did like with the dorms?
I had to make sure the lights stayed on?!
I needed transportation to and from school to get to classes?!
Home management skills were in serious lack.
But that too passed and I was able to begin juggling those things in a semi-masterful way. I managed to get by for my last year and a half of college, anyway.
My pseudo home management system worked for me for the remainder of my single years. I eked my way through employment, theatrical shows, musical groups and other various public appearances. All this while still managing to have clean clothes and food…barely.
Then, I decided that I wanted to have children. I figured I would be ready for it.
The first six months of motherhood were complete bliss. Yet, upon reflection, when I compare myself to some women who were pleasantly surprised by their bundle of joy, I was SOOOO not ready for the task.
Don't get me wrong. There were no child services issues going on, but I constantly found myself absolutely out of sync with my usual roll-with-it attitude. It was – once again – blaringly obvious that my home management skills were lacking.
Going to the bathroom became a luxury. It was my spa experience. A moment away to breathe and think.
Until the kids learned how to work the doorknobs. Afterward, a private walk to the bathroom became something to write about in my gratitude journal.
Once I learned that getting up an hour before the kids gave me 10 minutes of personal time and 30 minutes of 'spa' time, my journal became more diverse.
Then, I decided to homeschool.
Or rather, I decided to homeschool my own children.
When I was younger and had the energy of a bunny rabbit, I homeschooled a friend's two daughters. That time in my life brought me a lot of joy.
There were also two moms in the house sharing the homeschooling duties. It was the cooperative of my dreams.
Yet, with my own daughters, there was no "extra mom" sharing the homeschool and home management load. Even dad was out of the house. No. For us, there was mom, kids, cats, house, yard…and clients who occasionally like their calls to be answered.
All of those elements motivated me to look for a scheduling solution that WORKED.
They also motivated me to look for a masseuse, a housekeeper, a baby sitter…but, first things first.
What I found was that it was not about SCHEDULING my life – and the lives of my little "dreams". It was about being able to MANAGE the elements of my life.
I am a control freak by nature, but that doesn't work for our household at all. Things are far too unpredictable on a daily basis.
Which is why I loved reading through Amy Roberts' guide, Home Management for the Homeschool Mom .
I have always maintained status quo for our household. However, it has not been without a lot of bumps, bruises, loss of sleep and many opportunities to get sick.
The slightest disturbance to my schedule always set me off and I was nearly ready to rumble. Probably because I was still tired and irritable.
What I found out through reading Amy's guide is that I was trying to fit my square peg into a round hole. I was forcing my family into one category (SCHEDULED) when we are totally the other (ROUTINE).
I loved these concepts! They made so many things so clear to me. I finally understood what kind of mom I actually am.
More than that, I saw what kind of mom I was desperately trying to be. And as a result, I saw what kind of mom I had become from all the forced scheduling.
It gives me more perspective on what tools I need to seek and what I need to let go.
Knowing and understanding how my family operates best took away a lot of the guilt that constantly tries to creep up when my schedule falls flat.
It can be difficult some days to manage all that comes at you as a homeschool mom. When you wear so many other hats (educator, accountant, administrator, housekeeper, chef, etc.), the unexpected disturbance tends to happen. But, understanding yourself and your family helps you get through those days.
Even before knowing what type of family you are, Home Management for the Homeschool Mom gives many avenues to simplify your life.
Simplify your meal planning, homeschool subjects, homeschool schedule and housecleaning. Amy suggests many helpful systems and tools for whichever type family you discover you are.
There is no need to feel overwhelmed. There is no need to have major reality checks in life. If you find the system you are using isn't working for you as a family in a particular time, it is simple to tweak.
So, in those days when you feel like you've lost control, BREATHE.
As a homeschool mom, know that Home Management can still be achieved.


Today I was surprised by the selection of gin available in Sainsbury's. There were a few good candidates on offer that I hadn't tried before, including Juniper Green Organic Gin and Tanqueray No 10.
However, after much label reading and muttering to myself, I selected Blackwood's Gin, or to give it its full name, Blackwood's 2007 Vintage Dry Gin. Reasonably priced and bottled in something reminiscent of Oxley, it is an attractive package.
I also bought some Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, but that is another post.
Blackwood's gin is called a vintage gin for a reason. It is distilled in Shetland and it is from these northern isles that the botanicals are harvested from the wild. Including wild water mint, sea pinks and meadowsweet, the botanicals are sustainably harvested and the summer dictates the quality of certain botanicals. 2005 was a "filthy summer" and so the herby botanicals flourished while the floral ones suffered.
Blackwood's make no effort to maintain a homogenous taste year-on-year. Instead they allow the weather to guide the flavours of their gin for the year. Hence the "vintage".
After arriving home, I opened the bottle (which opened with the satisfying tuneful pop that a good whiskey does) and poured a small shot. I also poured a small shot of Plymouth Gin for comparison. The Blackwood's gin had a much more subtle nose than the Plymouth with less intense juniper aromas and more citrus and complexity.
The flavours backed this up; the Blackwwod's is far less heavy on the juniper front and has strong, fresh citrus undercurrent. There is also has a vast, aromatic complexity both in the initial attack and the aftertaste. It is also very smooth.
Mixing up a gin and tonic was also rewarding, bringing an incredible freshness to my glass.
Apparently, Blackwood's are trying to set enough of each year's product aside to allow them to sell box-sets of mixed vintages. I would love to try this and compare each year to savour the subtle differences dictated by the weather. Blackwood's gin won a host of awards between 2004 and 2006, so I guess the vintages prior to this were pretty damn good.
All-in-all, I would really recommend Blackwood's Vintage Gin. It is smooth and complex, with delightful citrus and floral subtlety. It is great on its own and makes a fantastic G&T.
I haven't heard of Blackwood's before – thanks for pointing it out. I've added it to my "to find" list.
Ah, I see from your other post that they may not be around any longer. And the website is still a parking page, so I guess that doesn't bode well. Shoot.
Thanks for pointing this out. After a little digging, it looks like Blackwood's have changed domain to http://blackwoodsgin.net/ – I have changed the link in the article.
I do wonder if they let their domain registration lapse and someone else bought it. I suppose it could have been a deliberate domain migration.


The internal dialogue on Kosovo should not start from the zero point as if there were no previous negotiations. The executive is obliged through dialogue to remind the public of the already taken international obligations on the basis of which policy towards Kosovo should be created.

This week's Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona has seen a flurry of handset announcements boasting, amongst other features, more megapixels, support for HD video, OLED screens and touchscreen UIs. Here's five handsets that caught my eye.
Not content with competing on megapixels alone, the Omnia HD, as the name suggests, is the first smartphone to both record and playback High Definition video. And that's proper High Def (720p) unlike the slightly misleadingly named Touch HD from HTC. However, there's much, much more to like about the Omnia HD, not least its 3.7″ AM OLED touch screen, which if the screen on Nokia's N85 is anything to go by (I have one on loan right now), will be absolutely stunning. The device also has full DLNA certification, meaning that it's possible to share media shot or stored on the handset with other UPnP AV devices, such as a PlayStation 3 connected to a High Definition TV.
OS-wise, the Omnia HD uses the latest Symbian OS and the touch-friendly version of S60, although Samsung have customized the home screen quite a bit, including various widgets as first seen on the Tocco.
