Bias May Hinge on How White Kids View Inequality
White children who see external forces as driving inequality are less likely to show bias against Black children, research finds.

By James Devitt-Nyu
White children who are exposed to larger racial inequalities in their daily lives and who see those inequalities as due to intrinsic differences between people are more likely to hold racial biases in their perceptions of Black children.
The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"What's crucial in the formation of anti-Black biases are the beliefs that children develop to explain why racial inequalities exist," says Michael Rizzo, a postdoctoral researcher in New York University's psychology department and the lead author of the study.
"Our findings show that as children observe inequalities in the world around them, those who endorse myths about intrinsic differences between racial groups in turn develop beliefs that reinforce racial biases, whereas those who recognize the extrinsic factors underlying racial inequalities develop more egalitarian attitudes."
"These results indicate that helping children understand the societal factors that cause racial inequalities could help prevent the development of racial bias in childhood," notes Marjorie Rhodes, a professor in the psychology department and the paper's senior author. She adds that additional research would help solidify the value of this approach.
It's been long established that children develop racial attitudes at a young age—as early as ages four and five. However, less understood are the factors that influence these beliefs. To explore this dynamic, the paper's authors studied racial attitudes of nearly 650 White children, aged 4 to 8, living in more than 450 different zip codes across 47 states and their beliefs about the racial inequalities they see in their neighborhoods.
At the time of the study, in 2020, the median family income was 63% higher for white than Black families ($74,912 and $45,870, respectively) and white adults were 46% more likely to have a bachelor's degree than Black adults (41% and 28%, respectively), according to Census data. Similar disparities were found in the neighborhoods the study participants lived in.
These children were shown photographs of children from different racial backgrounds (Asian, Black, Latinx, and white) and were asked which of those pictured they would want to play with the most. Overall, and consistent with past research, white children of all ages expressed a greater preference to play with other white children than would be expected if they had chosen randomly. By contrast, the white children were significantly less likely to choose to play with the Black and Latinx children than would be expected if they had chosen randomly and expressed a preference to play with Asian children that would be expected if they had chosen randomly.
To understand why many of the children might be developing these biases, the researchers focused on how children think about the racial inequalities they are exposed to in their neighborhoods. They did so by showing them pictures of Black and white children and the houses they lived in; in some trials, a Black family lived in a nicer house than a white family, and in other trials, a white family lived in a nicer house than a Black family.
The authors then asked the children why they thought those families lived in those houses: Was it because of "who they are on the inside" or because of "things that happen in the world"? Children were generally evenly split across the two explanations, with 34% saying it was more because of things that happen in the world, 26% saying it was more because of who they are on the inside, and 40% saying both contributed the same amount. In addition, to assess children's exposure to racial inequalities in their daily lives, the researchers used the participating children's zip code to calculate the racial disparities between Black and white residents' median family income and college graduation rates in the communities where the children were growing up.
They found notable distinctions among older white children—aged five-and-half and above—living in zip codes with greater racial inequalities. In communities with more racial inequality, older children who believed that racial inequalities were caused by internal factors ("who people are on the inside") showed more racial bias. That is, they were less likely to choose to play with the Black than white child in the photographs they viewed. By contrast, those who believed that racial inequalities were caused by external factors ("things that happen in the world") were equally likely to want to play with Black and white children.
"Beliefs about race emerge early in life and vary among children, so identifying how they form is an important first step in understanding how to prevent racial biases from developing," observes Rizzo. "Our study shows that as white children are exposed to greater levels of inequality in their daily lives, the beliefs they form to explain what causes those inequalities will shape how they treat people from different racial groups."
The research had support from the National Science Foundation.

Diwali is celebrated by Hindus and Sikhs all over the world. It's an important 'Festival of Light' and the children have been busy finding out about its story and the many ways in which it is celebrated.
The scene was set by the beautiful costumes worn by children and staff. There were opportunities for all the children to try on traditional dress and talk about the bright colours and the shiny fabrics.
The children who celebrate Diwali at home shared their knowledge of the customs and traditions associated with the festival.
The children also made Rangoli patterns, to decorate the doorways, using symmetrical templates and items such as powder paint, shredded paper and glitter.
Thank-you to our parents and staff who made this such a fabulous day, bringing in outfits for the children to try on and some delicious foods to share.

Gifts you didn't even know could be added to a registry may ease the financial strain on families.
Congratulations, you're going to be a parent! Time to create your baby registry. Babyletto or Sniglar? Vista, Yoyo or Bugaboo? The Boppy, Baby Bjorn or Keekaroo? You've chosen the right crib, stroller and accessories for your baby, but what comes next? For many parents-to-be, the most essential baby gift may be one that lasts beyond childhood—a gift to support a family's financial well-being.
On Babylist, the fastest-growing baby registry website in the U.S., in addition to essentials like cribs and strollers, expecting parents can register for an increasingly popular item: cash funds to cover the steep financial costs associated with raising a child. Adding life insurance can be as easy as adding ABC blocks.
"It's not about having the same stroller as everyone else these days—new parents want meaningful gifts and services," says Natalie Gordon, founder and CEO of Babylist. A former Amazon software developer, Gordon created Babylist after finding it difficult to ask for what she really needed while caring for her infant son—help walking her German shepherd.
Here are six ideas that parents-to-be are adding to their registries.
One in three families spend 20 percent or more of their annual household income on child care, according to Care.com's 2018 Cost of Care Survey. Gordon says child care costs, diaper services and home-cooked meals are popular non-retail registry items on Babylist. "A rising trend is getting set up for a night doula once the parents bring the baby home," she says.
In a nationwide survey of nearly 5,000 expecting parents, Babylist found that 97 percent thought life insurance is important and 61 percent plan to get insurance in the next year. "New parents know this is an essential item to tackle when starting their family, but there is a gap between knowing they need it and going out to get it," Gordon says. That's why in July, Prudential became the first life insurance company to partner with a baby registry. Friends and family can contribute to the life insurance premium. A custom tool helps parents decide how much coverage they need, and, after funds are gifted, they can visit Prudential's website to apply for a term life insurance policy.
Many banks and credit unions offer specialized children's savings accounts that designate parents as the custodian. These accounts (and others like them) come with financial education tools aimed at teaching kids how to manage their savings. Better than a piggy bank.
For every story of a winning investment—a dollar's worth of Apple purchased on May 21, 1982 (the birthday of this article's author) is worth more than $800 today—there's a story of one that turned out worthless. However, parents who understand the risks may try to foster their child's interest in investing by directing funds toward a stock relevant to kids—Disney and Build-A-Bear are popular examples.
According to a recent Prudential white paper, parents of a newborn today may need half a million dollars to pay for their child's tuition at an elite private university. Parents won't net that at their baby shower (most likely), but regular contributions to college savings can add up, especially if gift-givers continue giving throughout the years. "College funds are one of those things that you know are important to prepare for but can get lost among immediate demands," Gordon says.
Life insurance is issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company (except in NY) and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (in NY). Both are Prudential Financial companies located in Newark, NJ, and each is solely responsible for its own financial condition and contractual obligations.
As with other registry products, the monetary gift made to help purchase life insurance will be administered by Babylist. Babylist is an independent organization and is not an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., or any of its subsidiaries.
NEWARK, N.J., July 25, 2018 - Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU), and Babylist, the fastest-growing baby registry in the United States, launched a new strategic relationship to create a crowd-funded life insurance solution designed specifically for expecting parents, which is now available as an add-on to their baby registries. This is the first time a life insurance company has partnered with a baby registry.
To a newborn, 10 weeks is a lifetime. To his or her parents, it can be the foundation to a better life. Yet, only 14 percent of private sector employees receive any paid time off during this critical bonding period. Fortunately, times are changing. On April 1, Prudential Financial increased the period of 100 percent paid parental leave available to eligible employees and Prudential Advisors financial professionals.
For years, many 529 plans offered money market funds as their conservative investment option. Now, they're increasingly replacing them with stable value funds, investment vehicles wrapped in insurance contracts that guarantee a specific minimum return. A new white paper from Prudential Financial, Inc., "529 Plans: Assessing the Stable Value Option", examines why.
NEWARK, N.J., April 2, 2018 – Increasing longevity has made outliving assets in retirement a concern for many Americans, with 67 percent of U.S. workers saying they fear their retirement savings won't last, according to a 2016 Prudential report. To help Americans supplement their retirement savings, Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) has introduced its first online income product, a voluntary deferred income annuity designed to generate guaranteed lifetime income.

The 15th anniversary of the Cycle Show in Birmingham was the biggest yet, with over 300 of the UK's brightest and best cycling shops, clothing designers, equipment manufacturers, coaching programmes and purveyors of energy bars, gels, powders and drinks converging on the NEC for what was essentially a three-day festival of the bike. ITV's Ned Boulting held court on the Protect Your Bubble stage throughout the weekend, interviewing Grand Tour legend Stephen Roche on Sunday afternoon. Roche's interview proved to be warm, witty and entertaining, and offered insights into the Tour legend's thoughts on the current state of World Tour racing, the up coming World Championships in Doha, and his son's move from Team Sky.
Ned Boulting introduced the two-time Grand Tour winner to the stage during the afternoon session on the final day of the three-day event. Roche, who won the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and the World Road Race Championships in the same year, now runs successful cycle camps in Majorca, which have become increasingly popular with Brits following Bradley Wiggins' winning performances at the Tour de France and London Olympic Games.
For the former pro, the bike is clearly still a hugely important part of his life. "If I don't ride my bike it's like a pressure cooker…it builds up, then I ride my bike and it goes down again" explained Roche. "When I was young I learned to enjoy cycling, and then I was lucky enough to become a professional. Now I'm back enjoying it again. I participate now – I don't compete".
Whilst Stephen can now 'participate'; it is his son Nicolas who does the competing. For the past two years, the younger Roche has been an important member of Team Sky, riding in support of Chris Froome. Prior to that, Nicolas was a member of Tinkoff-Saxo, working as a domestique for Alberto Contador. Roche was brought into Team Sky "with the potential to win small stage races, take stage wins, and be a good team mate to Chris Froome" explained Stephen. Nicolas was identified as a key rider to get into breakaways, and was a huge asset to Sky due to his exceptional race craft.
Two years on however, and Nico has made the decision to leave Sky for the BMC Racing Team, once again working alongside his friend Richie Porte. Both Porte and Nico Roche are riders with excellent palmarès and potential, however with Chris Froome so dominant on the road at present, the only way for talented riders of their calibre to fulfil that potential is to move away from Team Sky. Ned Boulting, questioning Stephen Roche on his son's future, conceded "Sky target the Tour de France" and the pair agreed that, with the current crop of riders led by Froome, there's little opportunity for a "Plan B" to flourish on the Grand Tours. Sky, it seems, may find themselves as victims of their own success as riders like Roche and Porte move on to pastures new. Once Froome loses that dominance, Stephen Roche is concerned that there's "no one there to take up that role".
Asked whether situations like that at Sky are a result of the modern pressures upon the sport, Roche agreed. "Racing is totally different now. There are totally different commercial interests…we have Race Radio and power meters, which can make the race a bit boring. In my era, nobody jumped up and down for third place. Now everyone's racing for a top ten finish. A top ten placing in the Tour could mean a good contract, more money…" On the subject of power meters and other in-race technology, Boulting enquired as to what Roche would change to bring back the sense of excitement associated with his own era of racing. "Abolish car to rider contact, have rider to car contact only. Race Radio damages the spectacle. We have riders too concerned with power meters, detailed data and calculations. We do need to move with technology – don't just throw it out – but make it better. Otherwise we have riders, tactically not knowing what to do by themselves".
In the current pro peloton, Roche is impressed with a number of young riders coming up through the ranks. "A Grand Tour rider survives the time trials, the climbs, the wind, the rain, the crashes…one good thing to come out of the Tour de France are the skilled young riders – Quintana, Bardet, Yates, Alaphillipe…" His son's former team mate, Contador, also impresses. "He is a great asset to cycling. He is tactically good, he doesn't wait until the last climb, he throws down the gauntlet. We need riders like this".
In view of the upcoming World Championships, Roche was asked which recent World Road Race Champion has impressed him the most. "Certainly Sagan, but it would have to be Thor Hushovd. He was 90 kilos, so he had to get points ahead of the other sprinters, going away on mountains for the intermediate sprint points. He was a great sprinter, an intelligent rider. A nice guy, with tactical sense". As for the upcoming World Championships in Doha, Roche didn't fancy the course much! "It's totally flat. In a desert". So who does he back to win? "A sprinter. But I'd like to see Tom Boonen win, he could climb off his bike and say he stopped on a high note, but it will be very difficult for him. The wind could blow sand across the road. It's a sprinters day".
Roche prefers the 2018 course, when the World Championship comes to Austria. "It's a very hard circuit" he explained, and could possibly see the rainbow jersey conferred upon a Tour contender once again. "People are wishing for it to happen". On the subject of jerseys, Ned Boulting asked which was the most prestigious in the cycling world – the World Champion's rainbows or the maillot jaune? Peter Sagan, taking both the yellow and green jerseys at this year's Tour de France – whilst simultaneously being the World Champion and entitled to wear the associated rainbow jersey – famously quipped "If I lose yellow, I have green. If I lose green, I have rainbow". Roche, debating the merits of each, revealed one of his greatest career regrets. "I regret not being able to wear my rainbow jersey much due to my knee injury". Like Roche, Sagan hasn't been seen in the stripes too often, although this has been due to the number of points and leader's jerseys he has accumulated in his World Championship year. "If I were him, I'd have been frustrated to have to wear the green jersey (at the Tour de France). You only get one chance to wear rainbow".
Before it was time for Roche to go, Ned Boulting asked if the audience had anything they'd like to ask the Tour legend – "it's not every day that you have Stephen Roche answering your questions!" After answering a number of questions from the floor, Roche was asked "what's your least favourite mountain?" Spinning the answer in a more positive light, Roche replied "there wasn't one I didn't like – but some didn't particularly like me!" Relaying the story of his first ever attempt at Alpe d'Huez on the Tour when he was a new face in the peloton at 23, Roche told the Cycle Show "I forgot to eat. It was lights out at the foot of the Alpe!" The mountain may have had other ideas, but the 23-year-old Roche wouldn't have dreamed of giving up. He rode on, finishing almost twenty minutes down on the bunch, but crossing the line none the less. "Alpe d'Huez is an incredible climb…it has to be treated with respect".
It's a story which sums up Roche's entire interview – peppered with humour, humility and honesty, whilst showing the reverence with which he held – and still holds – the sport he loves. A story of the bike, of the road, and above all, of humanity – le Tour in microcosm. And with that, Stephen Roche leaves the stage, to greet fans clutching pens and programmes, autograph ready. Almost thirty years on from his golden 1987, Stephen Roche is still a charismatic champion with the ability to inspire, one of the greats, and a fantastic ambassador for the sport. Chapeau Mr Roche, and also to the Cycle Show – same time next year?
30 Seconds With……Jasper Bovenhuis of An Post Chain Reaction!
What was your first ever bike like? A white MBK, with tube gearing and toeclips.
What's on your MP3 Player? All kind of music, listening a lot from the top 40 hit-chart.
Billed in the Official Tour of Britain programme as An Post Chain Reaction's 'One to Watch', Jasper Bovenhuis had a great week riding his first edition of the British race, taking home the Yodel Direct Sprints jersey, and racing the streets of Bristol as the Most Combative rider of the previous day.
We caught up with him to see what he thought of the 2016 Tour of Britain….
Congratulations on winning the Yodel Direct Sprint jersey at this year's Tour of Britain! When you started the race was that one of your aims?
Thank you, yes for me it was a goal from the start of the Tour of Britain, trying to win the Yodel Direct Sprint jersey.
What was your most memorable moment in this year's Tour of Britain?
The last stage was the best of all, riding in big crowds through London.
And winning the last point, so I could bring home the jersey.
How do you prepare for split stages like the Bristol stage at this year's Tour of Britain?
Riding 2 stages in a day always costs a lot of energy. For me, I just make sure I have enough fuel in the body during the day, and take as many rest moments as possible in between the 2 stages.
Jasper Bovenhuis wears the Yodel Direct sprint jersey at the 2016 Tour of Britain, Stage 7b, Bristol.
How does riding the Tour of Britain compare to racing on the Continent?
Racing in Britain is totally different than elsewhere. The roads are really grippy a lot of the time, and besides that the road is never flat, that makes it really hard to race on.
Were you surprised by the level of support for the Tour of Britain when you came to the UK?
I didn't really know what to expect, because I don't race that often in the UK. But it was great to see that there is a lot of support for the Tour of Britain itself, and that there is a big amount of cycling fans!
What did winning the Yodel Direct Sprint jersey mean to you personally, and to the team?
For me personally it was a great win, especially because it was racing at the highest level I have ever done, 2.HC. For the team it was also really good, getting a lot of media attention and TV minutes.
How did you become involved with cycling at a professional level?
When I became a first year U23 rider I got a contract at the Rabobank Continental team and stayed there for 4 seasons. I've already been racing for 7 years on the 'continental' level of cycling.
What do you hope to achieve next season?
Hopefully I can keep developing myself, and get some nice victories next season.
Finally, what would you say to any young riders just starting out on the road?
Make sure you keep having fun riding your bike, that's the way you can make the most out of cycling. And the most important – stay safe on the road.
Thanks Jasper! We wish you all the best for the 2017 season and really hope we see you back to defend the Yodel Direct jersey at the next Tour of Britain!

Both the final Monument of the year, Il Lombardia, held on Saturday, and Sunday's Tour de l'Eurometropole finished with an air of controversy surrounding the podium places of each race's top two riders.
Saturday's Il Lombardia, won by Orica-BikeExchange's Esteban Chaves, saw Astana's Diego Rosa attack twice in the final kilometres, although both surges proved fruitless as his closest rivals, the Columbian pairing of eventual winner Chaves and Cannondale-Drapac's Rigoberto Uran, were too strong for Rosa to break. After the race, which saw the Astana rider take second place, Rosa's Directeur Sportif told the press that he felt 'truly sick' at the outcome, claiming that his rider ignored orders. "If Rosa had listened to me, he would have won", explained Giuseppe Martinelli, DS for the Astana team. "I've only been this upset a few times in my life…you can't throw away an occasion in that way. You can't lose like that".
Martinelli told reporters that Rosa should not have expended energy in his two fruitless attacks, and should instead have sat in the wheels on the last two climbs, and made sure he was second wheel in the finishing straight. "It was clear the other two would help each other, it happened at the Giro d'Italia…instead, he went through first".
For his part, Rosa admitted that his attack "at 1600 metres was useless", but claimed that, as Chaves would outsprint him, he had to "play my hand, a surprise. I believed. I knew that curve at 250 metres. Uran obviously closed the gap to me, but I don't want to cause polemics…if I had made it through with two metres on them then it would have worked".
Sunday's Tour de l'Eurometropole also finished with the second placed rider at the heart of a controversy. IAMCycling's Oliver Naesen claims that LottoNL-Jumbo rider Dylan Groenewegen deviated from his line in the final sprint, causing Naesen to be pushed towards the barriers and therefore become boxed in. He even had to hop over an obstacle on the road surface before crossing the line in second place behind Groenewegen. Similar circumstances have seen riders disqualified for their blocking actions, however on this occasion the race jury deemed Groenewegen to be the winner regardless. Naesen was clearly unhappy with the decision, claiming to be the 'rightful winner'.
Under the UCI rules, riders are 'strictly forbidden to deviate from the line they selected when launching a sprint'. The regulations have seen Boudhanni disqualified for cutting into Caleb Ewan's race line at Cyclassics Hamburg, and Andre Greipel famously fell foul of the rule at the 2015 Tour of Britain.
Naesen, clearly outraged by Groenewegen's actions, attempted to confront the LottoNL-Jumbo rider in the finishing area, but was blanked by the Dutchman. Groenewegen told the press "that was chaotic as the leading group was caught in the final metres…I certainly went to the left but I left enough room to pass".
Naesen's team later posted a video on their Twitter feed from CyclingHub, showing Boudhanni's disqualification from Cyclassics Hamburg, adjacent to the Tour de l'Eurometropole finish, highlighting the similarities between the two incidents. No official statement was made on the social media page, however the CyclingHub retweet made the team's feelings clear. Naesen is certain that he is the 'rightful winner', but the official results still show Groenewegen's name.

All paintings are acrylic on canvas. All of my old frames are found at antique stores throughout the country, often serving as inspiration for a painting. They are not perfect. They have flaws. They are meant to be that way. I am more than happy to sell a painting without the frame, just let me know.

Fortnite: Who is TheGrefg? See the curiosity of the world record holder for Twitch viewers. FORTNITE
by Raven Weber January 12, 2021 Science
Steamer David "TheGrefg" annihilated world records for audiences simultaneously on Twitch This monday, and give Gathered some of the curiosities of the Spanish influencer, who reached the mark of 2.4 million people watching live broadcasts on stage at the same time.

Among the highlights of TheGreft is the literary side, with two published books, a notable presence from a young age in the creation of sports content and the latest in eSports, apart from unusual facts as a period of life in which Lived and played football inside the Real Madrid Stadium when Santiago Banarabe.
Check out some fun facts about TheGrefg:
Born in 1997, TheGrefg is only 23 years old, but has spent most of his life creating content on the Internet. Although unnoticed by some, Spaniard has a YouTube channel since January 2012, when he was just 15 years old. The first video he published was in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and, interestingly, it was viewed over 3.2 million times, one of the most popular on the channel and recently filled with comments from those Happened, who wanted to know more about the beginning of here.
Currently, Spanish has over 16 million subscribers on YouTube, and the most viewed video has 26 million views.

Last time I went to Orlando there were dogs waiting when I deboarded the plane.
sounds dumb as hell to me but looks like youve thought long and hard about it, from all angles and have a fool proof plan, especially since the obvious weed shortage in dc. good luck bruh.
you act like the dogs dont sniff the Luggage after you check your bags.
If your flight it early in the morning you might be good.

Guess I should re-read Adorno.
I do hope they realize it. The infamous, and famously exploitative, lobby group for "intellectual property" is ultimately going to lose.
Signs of their ultimate demise abound in the actions of both the RIAA and the MPAA (as well as equivalent lobby groups in other North America and Europe). These people just don't get it.
Also funny is the stance of Apple Corps. and the remaining Beatles over what should be done with their music. Their first recordings will come out of copyright in the UK (and several other places) in a few years. Instead of taking advantage of the situation by making sure that the last people who by their music get added value, they prevent online music stores from selling their tracks and release a set of anachronistic remixes. Weird.
Been thinking for a while about a type of "two cultures" theory. What Larry Lessig calls "Free Culture" on one side and "Commerical Culture" on the other. The meaning of "culture" used in those cases can be relatively close to anthropological concepts, though it's also about "creative culture," including arts and entertainments. In the U.S. of A., Lessig's primary target, "free culture" seems to be under attack. Elsewhere, it florishes. In any way we think about it, "free culture" is more beneficial for the greater group than a "closed culture," whether it's based on commercial value, on jealousy, or both. If we think competitively, there is little doubt in my head that "free culture" will eventually win and that U.S. "commercial culture" (or "permission culture," as Lessig calls it) will collapse, bringing down a large part of U.S. society.
That is, unless some people finally wake up.
First encountered the notion of the Medici effect through this interview with Frans Johansson in Ubiquity, a journal frequently mentioned on the Humanist Discussion Group.
A recent article about important changes coming from simple ideas made me post a short blog entry about changes from simple ideas. Interestingly enough, Johansson himself posted a comment to that entry.
This is in fact a frequent stream of thought, for me. In both business and academia, we tend to live through ideas. Specific ideas. Especially those which can generate money or research projects. An important dimension of the "Medici Effect" seems to be that simple ideas can lead to great accomplishments. Another important dimension is that ideas are both generated in and implemented by groups. Some social contexts seem especially conducive to new ideas. This perspective is well-known enough that even Denys Arcand's Invasions Barbares had something to say about it.
There's a lot of directions one could take to talk about innovation from that point. Among the possible threads: artistic creativity, personal innovation, sense of discovery, the economies of ideas, ideas come from the people, "intellectual property," fluid/organic innovation, boundless ideas, innovation through links between ideas, Lavoisier on ideas (nothing is created or lost, everything is transformed, including ideas), and so on and so forth.
My personal feeling is that the very concept of innovation has become something of a "core value" for a number of people, especially in industrialized society. The type of "newer is better" view of "progress" in both society and technology.

Final 9/11 wrongful death lawsuit settles
On Sept. 19, 2011, the Bavis family reached an agreement with United Airlines and Huntleigh USA, bringing to an end nearly a decade of wrongful death litigation in connection with the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Bavis v. United Airlines Corporation et al., was filed by the family of Mark Bavis, a passenger on United Flight 175, and claimed that the defendants were liable for airport security checkpoint failures, poor training, faulty cockpit doors and failure by the airline industry to acknowledge and adequately respond to government warnings about terrorist threats.
According to a report by The Boston Globe, the agreement follows a Sept. 7, 2011, ruling by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein that United Airlines and Huntleigh USA had to prove "only that they adhered to federal aviation safety standards, and didn't have to meet the state standards of wrongful death that the plaintiffs had sought." The defendants then filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of the case. In response, the Bavis family filed a 100-page response with 127 exhibits, giving an outline of what the family intended to present at trial to prove the alleged negligence on the part of United and Huntleigh.
"I think in the end what the family wants is to be able to give Mark voice, and to the extent these documents have been shared with the public — long after the lawsuit is closed, they hope it contributes to the discussion about safety in the air," said Motley Rice lawyer Don Migliori, who represents the Bavis family, in the Globe article.
Migliori said the Bavis family has continued to endure years of litigation in an effort to force accountability and generate answers relating to how the 9/11 attacks occurred, and the release of the exhibits accomplishes much of what they hoped to achieve by going to trial—public accountability and answers about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.

We sit down for a behind-closed-doors E3 demo of The Cave, an upcoming Metroidvania-style adventure game developed by Ron Gilbert and Double Fine.
It's not often that I end up grinning ear-to-ear throughout the course of a hands-off demo presentation, but Ron Gilbert and Double Fine Productions' upcoming adventure game, The Cave, had exactly that effect on me. Gilbert's best known for classic adventure titles like Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island, and more recently, the DeathSpank games. As such, it's not really that surprising that The Cave retains the developer's quirky sense of humor. What was surprising, however, was how his new game presents a more modern and engaging take on adventure gaming and eliminates many of the genre's annoyances, while simultaneously keeping the core of what made them successful in the first place.
In the demo's opening narration, those of us in the presentation learned of the game's titular Cave, from the Cave itself. Yep, it's sentient. It's also a place where all manner of folks go exploring in search of their greatest desires. At the beginning of the adventure, the player will be able to select three of seven possible characters. To call the crew motley would be an accurate understatement. A monk, adventurer, and a knight are the more classic archetypes represented, but a scientist, a pair of creepy twins, a time-traveler, and a hillbilly add some atypical flavor to the roster as well. Individually, each character is full of personality, from their visual presentations down to the way that they run. Something as simple as watching the hillbilly amble along like a backwoods version of Scooby Doo's Shaggy, for example, elicited some chuckles from the small crowd.
During our demo, the hillbilly was joined by the scientist and the knight. Though the live demo was being played by a single player, we were told that co-op for up to three players would be an option.
The differences between each of the characters isn't simply cosmetic. Each will gain a special ability that must be used to help solve The Cave's multitude of puzzles. For example, the knight had to obtain some treasure from a dragon (of course), and used his "guardian angel" ability to distract the beast and soak up his flame breath while the scientist crept in from behind and stole the loot.
The Cave is laid out in 2D Metroidvania style. Many areas are open to any combination of characters, but each different avatar also has its own specially themed area, like the one for the knight, described above. These themed areas will only be accessible if you've selected the applicable character as part of your team, which bakes in some good replay value. These character-themed areas are based on the notion that each character is searching for his or her primary desire. Some desires are of the more tangible nature, and others are more ethereal. During part of the E3 demo, the knight was looking for a sword of ultimate power in his medieval castle-themed level. Some of the desires are pretty amusing, however, and I can't wait to see how they're handled. For example, the scientist will go on a quest to find a new scientific breakthrough, and the monk will search for enlightenment. Naturally, the hillbilly's greatest desire is to find true love.
The first puzzle shown during the demo was a fairly straightforward affair that involved manipulating a number of levers to open a door. However, the next puzzle involved a water bucket, a crane, a ferocious, ice-breathing crystal beast, a giant hotdog, and--of course--teamwork. It really comes off as an elegant adventure game experience that takes some new approaches to help keep the player focused on the action and puzzles, rather than sifting through an inventory page trying to find the right items to combine.
Much as The Cave compels its eclectic cast of characters to search for their innermost desires, the E3 demo got its hooks in me, and likely won't let go until I have a chance to do some exploring of my own. Fans of Gilbert and Double Fine likely already have this game on their radars, but anyone with a proclivity for charming adventures with great senses of humor would do well to anticipate the game's 2013 digital release on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Jang Yeong-jin only heard the word "homosexual" for the first time when he was 37 years old, and he had no concept of what it meant.
That was not unusual in his native North Korea - homosexuality simply didn't exist there, he told CNN.
Jang was trapped in an arranged married, but never loved his wife. He lived with feelings of guilt and confusion.
When he went to a neurologist to talk about his feelings and concerns and find out what was wrong with him, the doctor yelled at him and he ran from the office.
It was only when he was reading a magazine in a doctor's surgery in 1998, after he defected to South Korea, that Jang saw an article about homosexuality.
Suddenly everything became clear to him.
"That was the first time I knew what homosexuality was and I was really pleased," he said in the CNN interview.
"I was 37 years old by that time and thought I would be living alone for my entire life after leaving North Korea since I could not live with a woman."
He's not the only one. He recalls a childhood friend he used to sometimes hold hands with or share a bed with, who he later realised he had been in love with.
There were other men who had similar experiences to Jang.
"When I was in the military there was a senior officer who had the same problem as me after he got married," Jang says.
"There was also a man in my hometown who never got married and lived alone all his life.
"North Korea society treats these people as abnormal."
Jang says he could live with limited food or clothing in North Korea, but he was miserable without having anything to dream for.
He defected, crossing the border into China in 1996, but was unable to get to South Korea. A year later he returned to North Korea and crossed the mine-covered demilitarised zone, or DMZ, to South Korea, where he now lives.
Being the only openly gay defector has made settling in difficult. But he has written an autobiographical novel about his life in North Korea, titled 'A Mark of Red Honour' (an English translation is due to be published this year), and he is hopeful about the future.
"I am very optimistic, I always have hope that I would be able to live like everybody else, loving each other, travelling around the world someday," he said.
oh this will be a good read!!

Africa: Remarks to the Press
Photo: Evan Schneider/UN Photo
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Fatou Bensouda addresses the Security Council (file photo).
United States Department of State (Washington, DC)
Michael R. Pompeo
Press Briefing Room
SECRETARY POMPEO: Good morning, everyone. Today I'd like to make brief remarks on two foreign policy issues. But first, I want to offer my personal condolences to the nation of New Zealand in the wake of the grotesque mosque attacks in Christchurch. The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the victims and their families today. The United States condemns this hateful assault. We pledge our unwavering solidarity with the government and people of New Zealand in this hour of darkness, and we stand ready to offer any and all assistance.
Now, I'd like to comment on the Senate vote this week to end support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen. We all want this conflict to end. We all want to improve the dire humanitarian situation. But the Trump administration fundamentally disagrees that curbing our assistance to the Saudi-led coalition is the way to achieve these goals. The senators who voted "aye" say they want to end the bombing in Yemen and support human rights. But we really need to think about whose human rights.
If you truly care about Yemeni lives, you'd support the Saudi-led effort to prevent Yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt, brutish Islamic Republic of Iran. If we truly care about Saudi lives, you'd want to stop Iran-backed Houthis from launching missiles into Riyadh. If you truly care about Arab lives in the region, you'd support allied efforts to prevent Iran from extending its authoritarian rule from Tehran to the Mediterranean Sea and on down to Yemen. And if we truly care about American lives and livelihoods, and the lives and livelihoods of people all around the world, you'd understand that Iran and its proxies cannot be allowed to control the shipping lanes that abut Yemen.
We're deeply aware of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, and we deplore it. The United States has given more than $2 billion to help the Yemeni people since the start of the conflict, and Saudi Arabia has given over $500 million in 2018 alone and has pledged an additional $500 million this year. The Islamic Republic of Iran has provided zero dollars for humanitarian assistance.
The way to alleviate the Yemeni people's suffering isn't to prolong the conflict by handicapping our partners in the fight, but by giving the Saudi-led coalition the support needed to defeat Iranian-backed rebels and ensure a just peace. We hope – I met with Martin Griffiths yesterday – we hope that agreements can be implemented to de-escalate, but we must make sure that this crisis comes to an end.
Second item I wanted to talk today about is the International Criminal Court. In a speech last year in Brussels, I made clear that the Trump administration believes reforming international institutions, refocusing them back on their core missions, and holding them accountable when they fail to serve the people that they purport to help. We seek to partner with responsible nations to make sure that international bodies honor the principles of liberty, sovereignty, and the rule of law. Nation-states come together to form these institutions, and it's only with their consent that these institutions exist.
Since 1998, the United States has declined to join the ICC because of its broad, unaccountable prosecutorial powers and the threat it poses to American national sovereignty. We are determined to protect the American and allied military and civilian personnel from living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation. We feared that the court could eventually pursue politically motivated prosecutions of Americans, and our fears were warranted.
November of 2017, the ICC prosecutor requested approval to initiate investigation into, quote, "the situation in Afghanistan," end of quote. That could illegitimately target American personnel for prosecutions and sentencing. In September of 2018, the Trump administration warned the ICC that if it tried to pursue an investigation of Americans there would be consequences. I understand that the prosecutor's request for an investigation remains pending.
Thus today, persistent to existing legal authority to post visa restrictions on any alien, quote, "whose entry or proposed activities in the United States would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences," end of quote, I'm announcing a policy of U.S. visa restrictions on those individuals directly responsible for any ICC investigation of U.S. personnel. This includes persons who take or have taken action to request or further such an investigation. These visa restrictions may also be used to deter ICC efforts to pursue allied personnel, including Israelis, without allies' consent. Implementation of this policy has already begun. Under U.S. law, individual visa records are confidential, so I will not provide details as to who has been affected and who will be affected.
But you should know if you're responsible for the proposed ICC investigation of U.S. personnel in connection with the situation in Afghanistan, you should not assume that you will still have or will get a visa, or that you will be permitted to enter the United States. The United States will implement these measures consistent with applicable law, including our obligations under the United Nations Headquarters Agreement. These visa restrictions will not be the end of our efforts. We are prepared to take additional steps, including economic sanctions if the ICC does not change its course.
The first and highest obligation of our government is to protect its citizens and this administration will carry out that duty. America's enduring commitment to the rule of law, accountability, and justice is the envy of the world, and it is the core – at the core of our country's success. When U.S. service members fail to adhere to our strict code of military conduct, they are reprimanded, they're court-martialed, and sentenced if that's what's deserved. The U.S. Government, where possible, takes legal action against those responsible for international crimes. The United States directs foreign aid to strengthen foreign nations' domestic justice systems, the first and best line of defense against impunity.
The United States also supports international hybrid legal mechanisms when they operate effectively and are consistent with our national interest. These would include, for example, the mechanism handling Rwandan and Yugoslav atrocities and international evidence collection efforts in both Syria and Burma. But the ICC is attacking America's rule of law. It's not too late for the court to change course and we urge that it do so immediately. Thank you.
MR PALLADINO: We have time – the Secretary has time for a few questions. Let's go to Associated Press, Matt.
QUESTION: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yes. Morning, Matt.
QUESTION: Just very briefly on the ICC decision, are you doing this today because they haven't closed or dropped the pending Afghanistan investigation or is there some other reason?
And then secondly, I'm wondering if you've had a chance to see and if you could respond to what the North Korean deputy foreign minister said overnight about the U.S. giving up a golden opportunity by walking away in Hanoi and blaming you personally and Ambassador Bolton for creating this atmosphere of hostility.
SECRETARY POMPEO: So with respect to the reason for the actions we're taking today, it's part of a continued effort to convince the ICC to change course with its potential investigation and potential prosecution of Americans for their activities and our allies' activities in Afghanistan, trying to stop them, trying to prevent them from taking actions that are deeply inconsistent, in our view, with the course of action that has been laid out for the ICC, even though we're not members. That's a model that we've talked about before, and we are now implementing what we had already said that we would do.
I did have a chance to see the remarks overnight from Choe Son-hui. In Singapore, after a great deal of work, the two leaders came together and began a course of action which has led to the toughest sanctions that have existed against North Korea – global sanctions, UN Security Council resolution sanctions that remain in effect. The demands of those sanctions are the complete denuclearization of North Korea, the missiles, the weapons systems, the entire WMD program. That's the requirement laid out by the United Nations Security Council.
The two leaders met. Chairman Kim made a commitment to denuclearize. We continued to work between Singapore and Hanoi to deliver on that. We've had hostages return. We have them having stopped missile testing and nuclear testing. We are hopeful that we can continue to have conversation, negotiations. I saw the remarks that she made. She left open the possibility that negotiations would continue for sure. It's the administration's desire that we continue to have conversations around this. As the President said when he was in Hanoi, the offer that they made simply didn't rise to the level that was acceptable given what they were asking for in exchange for that.
MR PALLADINO: Let's go to BBC, Barbara.
QUESTION: Just a quick follow-up on North Korea: What's the next step, then? Because there has also – she also hinted that Kim Jong-un would make a statement possibly lifting the moratorium on tests.
And then secondly, if I could on Golan, the human rights ambassador said on Wednesday that removing the word "occupation" or "occupied" from the Golan and the West Bank was not a policy change, but we know that Israel is afraid of Iran and Hizballah threatening Israel from the Syrian side of the Golan, so in your view, does that strengthen the Israeli case for annexing the occupied bit?
SECRETARY POMPEO: So I don't have anything to add about the change in language that we used. It was characterized properly. There is a real risk. The proxies that are in the region, in southern Syria and in the vicinity of the Golan Heights, are presenting risk to the Israelis, and we've made clear the Israelis have a right to defend themselves. With respect to what was said last night about Chairman Kim potentially considering ending the moratorium, I can say only this: In Hanoi, on multiple occasions, he spoke directly to the President and made a commitment that he would not resume nuclear testing, nor would he resume missile testing. So that's Chairman Kim's word. We have every expectation that he will live up to that commitment.
Top Headlines U.S., Canada and Africa Governance External Relations
MR PALLADINO: CNN, Michelle.
QUESTION: Thanks. This week – on North Korea again – the State Department has said that talks have continued with North Korea. On what level have they continued?
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yeah, I'm not going to talk about the negotiations. They're ongoing.
QUESTION: So --
SECRETARY POMPEO: I've been very consistent about that.
QUESTION: Does this --
SECRETARY POMPEO: I intend to be.
QUESTION: Well I mean, saying what level they continued on doesn't necessarily give anything away.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yeah, I understand.
QUESTION: But – but this announcement, then, was – did this come out of left field from your point of view? And if I could, on the ICC, you mentioned that this is already being implemented. Could you give us a number or an assessment of how many people will immediately be affected by sanctions?
SECRETARY POMPEO: No.
MR PALLADINO: Last question. Washington Post, Carol Morello.
QUESTION: Sir, do you think the attacks on you personally made by the North Koreans will hamper your ability to continue negotiations or do you think you're going to have to pull back in some way? Because they clearly are accusing – clearly, they flatly accused you of creating an atmosphere of mistrust and hostility.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Yeah. Well first, they're wrong about that, and – I was there. I have – my relationship with Kim Yong-chol is professional. We have detailed conversations. I expect that we will continue to do that. He's the counterpart that the North Koreans have put forward for me. It's not the first time – I have a vague recollection of being called "gangster-like" from a visit that I took one time previously, and following that we continued to have very professional conversations where we tried our best to work together and represent our respective sides. I have every expectation that we'll be able to continue to do that.
MR PALLADINO: All right, thank you all.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Great, thank you all. Have a good day.
MR PALLADINO: All right, thank you.
