Two researchers who developed an after-school psychology club for primary-school children have told us about their project, and shared their suggestions of what works when engaging with a much younger audience. Experimental Officer Dr Susanna Martin and Eleanna Skoulikari, from the University of Bath's CREATE Lab, also crowd-sourced some of their ideas for sessions through The Psychologist.
The CREATE Lab was contacted by a local primary school to develop an after-school psychology club and recruited postgraduate students from the Psychology Department to help. Each session was supervised by Skoulikari, and the PhD students used their own research to come up with topics for each session along with complementary activities.
Each of the Psychology Club's weekly meetings involved a short presentation by one or a pair of postgraduate researchers, followed by hands-on activities along a similar theme. For example, after the first week's session pupils were asked to keep a dream diary, and the following week they had a go at dream analysis. They also explored robots (and built their own), video games, optical illusions, emotions and stress.
In their ninth session, the pupils divided into groups and chose activities they had learned to present to members of the public at the local Bath Taps into Science festival the following week. Skoulikari said it was amazing seeing the pupils' confidence grow, and their learning was very apparent when they were presenting activities to members of the public in a 'teacher' role.
The second term of Psychology Club also involved physics PhD students as guest presenters leading sessions on light and forces. At the end of each session pupils were asked to write positive and negative comments as feedback, Martin and Skoulikari said all the students had enjoyed the sessions and were disappointed to hear it would not be continuing due to a lack of funding.
However, they offered some tips for any other researchers interested in running a similar club. Martin said prior to embarking on a project like this it was vital to plan early, especially with regard to DBS checks for those working with children for longer stretches of time and building a good relationship with the school. Skoulikari added that it was vital to be well prepared with equipment and resources, prepare hands-on sessions and back-up activities in case they take less time than anticipated, and use informal techniques to gather feedback from pupils.

The school-to-prison pipeline is a process through which students are pushed out of schools and into prisons. In other words, it is a process of criminalizing youth that is carried out by disciplinary policies and practices within schools that put students into contact with law enforcement. Once they are put into contact with law enforcement for disciplinary reasons, many are then pushed out of the educational environment and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems.
The key policies and practices that created and now maintain the school-to-prison pipeline include zero tolerance policies that mandate harsh punishments for both minor and major infractions, exclusion of students from schools through punitive suspensions and expulsions, and the presence of police on campus as School Resource Officers (SROs).
The school-to-prison pipeline is supported by budgetary decisions made by the U.S. government. From 1987-2007, funding for incarceration more than doubled while funding for higher education was raised by just 21 percent, according to PBS. In addition, evidence shows that the school-to-prison pipeline primarily captures and affects Black students, which mirrors the over-representation of this group in America's prisons and jails.
The two key forces that produced and now maintain the school-to-prison pipeline are the use of zero tolerance policies that mandate exclusionary punishments and the presence of SROs on campuses. These policies and practices became common following a deadly spate of school shootings across the U.S. in the 1990s. Lawmakers and educators believed they would help to ensure safety on school campuses.
Having a zero tolerance policy means that a school has zero tolerance for any kind of misbehavior or violation of school rules, no matter how minor, unintentional, or subjectively defined it may be. In a school with a zero tolerance policy, suspensions and expulsions are normal and common ways of dealing with student misbehavior.
Research shows that the implementation of zero tolerance policies has led to significant increases in suspensions and expulsions. Citing a study by Michie, education scholar Henry Giroux observed that, over a four-year period, suspensions increased by 51 percent and expulsions by nearly 32 times after zero tolerance policies were implemented in Chicago schools. They jumped from just 21 expulsions in the 1994–95 school year to 668 in 1997–98. Similarly, Giroux cites a report from the Denver Rocky Mountain News that found that expulsions increased by more than 300 percent in the city's public schools between 1993 and 1997.
Once suspended or expelled, data show that students are less likely to complete high school, more than twice as likely to be arrested while on forced leave from school, and more likely to be in contact with the juvenile justice system during the year that follows the leave. In fact, sociologist David Ramey found, in a nationally representative study, that experiencing school punishment before the age of 15 is associated with contact with the criminal justice system for boys. Other research shows that students who do not complete high school are more likely to be incarcerated.
In addition to adopting harsh zero tolerance policies, most schools across the country now have police present on campus on a daily basis and most states require educators to report student misbehavior to law enforcement. The presence of SROs on campus means that students have contact with law enforcement from a young age. Though their intended purpose is to protect students and ensure safety on school campuses, in many instances, the police handling of disciplinary issues escalates minor, non-violent infractions into violent, criminal incidents that have negative impacts on students.
By studying the distribution of federal funding for SROs and rates of school-related arrests, criminologist Emily G. Owens found that the presence of SROs on campus causes law enforcement agencies to learn of more crimes and increases the likelihood of arrest for those crimes among children under the age of 15.
Christopher A. Mallett, a legal scholar and expert on the school-to-prison pipeline, concluded after reviewing evidence of the pipeline's existence, that "The increased use of zero tolerance policies and police... in the schools has exponentially increased arrests and referrals to the juvenile courts." Once they have made contact with the criminal justice system, data show that students are unlikely to graduate high school.
Overall, what over a decade of empirical research on this topic proves is that zero tolerance policies, punitive disciplinary measures like suspensions and expulsions, and the presence of SROs on campus have led to more and more students being pushed out of schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. In short, these policies and practices created the school-to-prison pipeline and sustain it today.
But why exactly do these policies and practices make students more likely to commit crimes and end up in prison? Sociological theories and research help answer this question.
One key sociological theory of deviance, known as labeling theory, contends that people come to identify and behave in ways that reflect how others label them. Applying this theory to the school-to-prison pipeline suggests that being labeled as a "bad" kid by school authorities and/or SROs, and being treated in a way that reflects that label (punitively), ultimately leads kids to internalize the label and behave in ways that make it real through action. In other words, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Sociologist Victor Rios found just that in his studies of the effects of policing on the lives of Black and Latino boys in the San Francisco Bay Area. In his first book, Punished: Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys, Rios revealed through in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation how increased surveillance and attempts at controlling "at-risk" or deviant youth ultimately foster the very criminal behavior they are intended to prevent. In a social context in which social institutions label deviant youth as bad or criminal, and in doing so, strip them of dignity, fail to acknowledge their struggles, and do not treat them with respect, rebellion and criminality are acts of resistance. According to Rios, then, it is social institutions and their authorities that do the work of criminalizing youth.
The sociological concept of socialization also helps shed light on why the school-to-prison pipeline exists. After family, school is the second most important and formative site of socialization for children and adolescents where they learn social norms for behavior and interaction and receive moral guidance from authority figures. Removing students from schools as a form of discipline takes them out of this formative environment and important process, and it removes them from the safety and structure that the school provides. Many students who express behavioral issues at school are acting out in response to stressful or dangerous conditions in their homes or neighborhoods, so removing them from school and returning them to a problematic or unsupervised home environment hurts rather than helps their development.
While removed from school during a suspension or expulsion, youth are more likely to spend time with others removed for similar reasons, and with those who are already engaged in criminal activity. Rather than being socialized by education-focused peers and educators, students who have been suspended or expelled will be socialized more by peers in similar situations. Because of these factors, the punishment of removal from school creates the conditions for the development of criminal behavior.
Further, treating students as criminals when they have done nothing more than act out in minor, non-violent ways weakens the authority of educators, police, and other members of the juvenile and criminal justice sectors. The punishment does not fit the crime and so it suggests that those in positions of authority are not trustworthy, fair, and are even immoral. Seeking to do the opposite, authority figures who behave this way can actually teach students that they and their authority are not to be respected or trusted, which fosters conflict between them and students. This conflict then often leads to further exclusionary and damaging punishment experienced by students.
Finally, once excluded from school and labeled bad or criminal, students often find themselves stigmatized by their teachers, parents, friends, parents of friends, and other community members. They experience confusion, stress, depression, and anger as a result of being excluded from school and from being treated harshly and unfairly by those in charge. This makes it difficult to stay focused on school and hinders motivation to study and desire to return to school and to succeed academically.
Cumulatively, these social forces work to discourage academic studies, hinder academic achievement and even completion of high school, and push negatively labeled youth onto criminal paths and into the criminal justice system.
While Black people are just 13 percent of the total U.S. population, they comprise the greatest percentage of people in prisons and jails—40 percent. Latinos are also over-represented in prisons and jails, but by far less. While they comprise 16 percent of the U.S. population they represent 19 percent of those in prisons and jails. In contrast, white people make up just 39 percent of the incarcerated population, despite the fact that they are the majority race in the U.S., comprising 64 percent of the national population.
Data from across the U.S. that illustrate punishment and school-related arrests show that the racial disparity in incarceration begins with the school-to-prison pipeline. Research shows that both schools with large Black populations and underfunded schools, many of which are majority-minority schools, are more likely to employ zero tolerance policies. Nationwide, Black and American Indian students face far greater rates of suspension and expulsion than do white students. In addition, data compiled by the National Center for Education Statistics show that while the percentage of white students suspended fell from 1999 to 2007, the percentage of Black and Hispanic students suspended rose.
A variety of studies and metrics show that Black and American Indian students are punished more frequently and more harshly for the same, mostly minor, offenses than are white students. Legal and educational scholar Daniel J. Losen points out that, though there is no evidence that these students misbehave more frequently or more severely than do white students, research from across the country shows that teachers and administrators punish them more—especially Black students. Losen cites one study that found that the disparity is greatest among non-serious offenses like cell phone use, violations of dress code, or subjectively defined offenses like being disruptive or displaying affection. Black first-time offenders in these categories are suspended at rates that are double or more than those for white first-time offenders.
According to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, about 5 percent of white students have been suspended during their schooling experience, compared with 16 percent of Black students. This means Black students are more than three times as likely to be suspended than their white peers. Though they comprise just 16 percent of the total enrollment of public school students, Black students comprise 32 percent of in-school suspensions and 33 percent of out-of-school suspensions. Troublingly, this disparity begins as early as preschool. Nearly half of all preschool students suspended are Black, though they represent just 18 percent of total preschool enrollment. American Indians also face inflated suspension rates. They represent 2 percent of out-of-school suspensions, which is 4 times greater than the percentage of total enrolled students that they comprise.
Black students are also far more likely to experience multiple suspensions. Though they are just 16 percent of the public school enrollment, they are a full 42 percent of those suspended multiple times. This means that their presence in the population of students with multiple suspensions is more than 2.6 times greater than their presence in the total population of students. Meanwhile, white students are under-represented among those with multiple suspensions, at just 31 percent. These disparate rates play out not only within schools but also across districts on the basis of race. Data shows that in the Midlands area of South Carolina, suspension figures in a mostly-Black school district are double what they are in a mostly-white one.
There is also evidence that shows that the overly harsh punishment of Black students is concentrated in the American south, where the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow exclusionary policies and violence against Black people manifest in everyday life. Of the 1.2 million Black students who were suspended nationwide during the 2011-2012 school year, more than half were located in 13 southern states. At the same time, half of all Black students expelled were from these states. In many of the school districts located in these states, Black students comprised 100 percent of students suspended or expelled in a given school year.
Among this population, students with disabilities are even more likely to experience exclusionary discipline. With the exception of Asian and Latino students, research shows that "more than one out of four boys of color with disabilities... and nearly one in five girls of color with disabilities receives an out-of-school suspension." Meanwhile, research shows that white students who express behavioral issues in school are more likely to be treated with medicine, which reduces their chances of ending up in jail or prison after acting out in school.
Given that there is a connection between the experience of suspensions and engagement with the criminal justice system, and given that racial bias within education and among police is well-documented, it is no surprise that Black and Latino students comprise 70 percent of those who face referral to law enforcement or school-related arrests.
Once they are in contact with the criminal justice system, as the statistics on the school-to-prison pipeline cited above demonstrate, students are far less likely to complete high school. Those that do may do so in "alternative schools" for students labeled as "juvenile delinquents," many of which are unaccredited and offer lower quality education than they would receive in public schools. Others who are placed in juvenile detention centers or prison may receive no educational resources at all.
The racism embedded in the school-to-prison pipeline is a significant factor in producing the reality that Black and Latino students are far less likely than their white peers to complete high school and that Black, Latino, and American Indian people are much more likely than white people to end up in jail or prison.
What all of these data show us is that not only is the school-to-prison pipeline very real, but also, it is fueled by racial bias and produces racist outcomes that cause great harm to the lives, families, and communities of people of color across the United States.

Dean Trueman – King of the Grind
If there's a man who knows how to dig deep, it's featherweight champion Dean Trueman.
Trueman has been in CW since 2016 and has been around some of the biggest names in UK MMA for some time. Carrying with him tons of confidence and a will to break his opponents down, Dean Trueman is the quintessential Cage Warrior.
"I left school, and you don't really know what to do. You used to go out with your friends and stuff like that, down the park, but you don't really do that as much so I was sort of bored at night. A bloke I used to know used to go down to Bushido MMA, the home of the Rough House so I started going down there and doing a bit of training and kind of got good at it."
The gym where Trueman got his start has become notorious in UK MMA. Bushido MMA became the home of the team known as the Rough House. A team known for its nothing-for-free attitude that may be the best example of an old school style UK MMA team and gym. Trueman now trains at Hardy-Wallhead MMA alongside some of the Rough House's finest though that team no longer exists.
Trueman fires a right hand at Aiden Lee during their title fight at CW100
"I've known Jimmy for years and obviously I've known Dan for years, before he was in the UFC. So yeah, it's kind of weird how everyone sees Dan as the UFC fighter and I just see him as the guy in the gym that I've been around forever.".
The current featherweight champion got his opportunity to win the title in the featherweight tournament that took place at CW98 and CW100. Competing against four other men, he knew from the moment it was announced that he was bound to win.
"I thought I would be fighting McBain in the final but I knew I was going to win it."
泌 Dean Trueman ties his opponent up and scores the biggest win of his career! 

With his unrelenting pressure and output, he wore out both his opponents, Lewis Monarch and Aiden Lee, to secure the title in Cardiff. No matter what both men threw at Dean Trueman, he came through it and came straight back at them.
After winning the title, it was announced that Trueman would defend his title against Soren Bak who would be dropping down a weight class to fight for the featherweight title. He was forced to pull out of the fight against Bak following an injury, delaying his first defence.
"I was gutted because I pulled out of it, it was my fault. It was my injury. Then I went over to Copenhagen to see him and honestly, after seeing the way he performed at featherweight, the fight no longer really interested me. I just don't think featherweight is for Soren."
Though the fight with Soren "The True Viking" Bak did not take place, the champion will still defend his title against a foreign invader. The fighting men of Denmark are travelling to London to try and claim multiple Cage Warriors titles and among them is 11-3 Mads Burnell. Burnell came into Cage Warriors off the back of a short UFC career that many saw as being cut far too short. Burnell went 1-2 in the octagon, being cut after losing to top UK prospect Arnold Allen.
The champ @DeanTrueman weighs in on his first title defence at #CW106: Night of Champions 
What's your prediction for Trueman vs Burnell?? pic.twitter.com/krFNJTUENE
— Cage Warriors (@CageWarriors) May 13, 2019
On his arrival in Cage Warriors, Burnell has picked up back-to-back first round submission wins, proving his quality. Waiting in London for him will be Trueman, who will not let anyone take anything from him without a fight first though he does believe the Dane is a step-up in competition for him.
"Burnell is 100% a step-up. He's been where I want to be and I don't think he did bad in the UFC. In the UFC you've got to win no matter who you're fighting though, it's the pinnacle of the sport. Fighting Mads is a bigger fight for me, it's a better fight, a more motivational fight than Soren because when I beat Mads it proves where I belong."
Trueman is the quintessential Cage Warrior not just because of his fighting style or roots in the sport. It's his mental strength, confidence and attitude towards fighting. The featherweight champion only knows how to fight one way and that's all out. Any likely invaders looking to take what is his will quickly learn that you get nothing for free in the cage against Dean Trueman. Whatever your intentions are, you better be prepared for a fight.
"Pressure for me, I thrive on. When the belt was on the line and in the tournament, I thrived on that pressure and performed better. Hopefully Cage Warriors 106 brings more pressure because it'll just make me perform better anyway."
Dean Trueman will defend his Cage Warriors featherweight title against Mads Burnell at Cage Warriors 106: Night of Champions on the 29th June at the Eventim Apollo, London.

Modification of Streamflow Across the U.S.
Streamflows Aren't What They Used to Be
Human activities have altered flow in one-third of U.S. streams, affecting ecosystems
Access Circular 1461
Human activities have caused flows in many of the Nation's streams and rivers to be different from what they would be naturally. A new USGS study reports that, at a national scale, human management of land and water resources have modified natural patterns of streamflow along an estimated 1.2 million stream miles—more than one-third—of the Nation's streams and rivers.
Some management actions, such as flood control, water storage, and water transfers, directly affect streamflow and in many cases modify natural streamflows in predictable ways. Other actions, such as groundwater pumping and the creation of impermeable surfaces in the watershed, indirectly and unintentionally affect streamflow.
USGS scientists used machine-learning statistical models to analyze streamflow data for 1980–2014 compiled from more than 3,000 streamgaging sites across the United States. They found that low flows now are more frequent but occur for a shorter duration than they would naturally. High flows also are more frequent, but are lower in magnitude and shorter in duration than they would be naturally. Such changes have contributed to the deterioration of stream and river ecosystems.
Climate also has induced changes in streamflow, as assessed at 600 streamgaging sites where influences from land and water management are minimal. Climate factors that affect streamflows include air temperature, whether precipitation falls as rain or snow, and the timing of precipitation and snowmelt. However, human management of land and water resources over the last 3 decades have modified streamflows more than variation in climate has over the same period.
In every region assessed, streamflow modification was associated with losses of native fish or invertebrates, such as larval mayflies and caddis flies. "Aquatic species have evolved strategies to live with the streamflow regime that has existed for thousands of years," explains lead author Dr. Daren Carlisle. "When that streamflow regime changes it can reduce their ability to survive and reproduce."
Damage to ecosystems from streamflow modification has been successfully mitigated in some cases. Efforts to address streamflow modification can focus on a key streamflow characteristic, such as low-flow magnitude, or can address the entire flow regime—streamflow magnitude, variability, duration, frequency, and timing. The choice depends on specific ecological needs and the flexibility of other goals, such as water supply or energy production. All of these approaches require the scientific analysis and long-term monitoring of ecological and hydrological systems.

Welcome, you've stumbled across the Norton Zoo, a wildlife sanctuary situated in the middle of upstate New York. Situated on a lush plantation of approximately 500 acres, a collection of exotic and dangerous animals is housed in our state of the art facility. Here is a brief description of some of our more popular exhibits.
Attack Cat Butter (Felinus Furrious) We knew that this cat would be a good hunter from when she was a kitten, when we adopted her from an ASPCA. She immediately grabbed onto her Monkius prey, and bear-hugged her. In the meanwhile, she's been focusing on building up bulk to give her the edge that she needs in hunting for her new favorite prey, cute garage mice. She was named primarily as a joke, but the joke has been on us, because she is now about one and a half the size of Attack Cat Kujo.
Dan (monkius sillius) One of the larger animals in the collection. Although this creature is inherently dim witted, this particular specimen has been trained well enough to shovel the feces of some of the other animals in the zoo (see attack cats below).
********* (monkius alexius) This little beastie has been growing rather quickly since his arrival. Currently, he can be found manipulating small reproductions of automobiles and locomotives.
Attack Cat Kujo (felinius moochius) This cat comes from the urban jungle of philadelpha. He's ruthless is stalking his prey of the monkius family. Through shear determination, he jumps onto the chest of his victoms, and headbutts them until he is victorius. He's named after a famous literary dog Cujo, but the spelling has been corrected. It seems that Stephen King has a bad habit of spelling names wrong in his work, take "Carrie" for example.
Kari (monkius reclusivus) A very reclusive animal. When pregnant, it is almost impossible to take a picture of this creature. As a result, an artist's depiction must be used, similar to a courtroom artist. However, in this case, the artist lacks almost all skill necessary to convery basically any physical characteristic. Note the presence of a skirt in the drawing, yet skirts very rarely seen anywhere near this animal.
***** (monkius jackius) This is the most recent species, bred right here in the Norton Zoo. We don't know all that much about him yet, but we've dedicated a team of researchers to find out as much as we can.
Tank of Man-Eating Fish (Ageius of Aquarius) The large walk-in aquarium, holding approximately 20,000 gallons of water, houses approximately 10 fish. Every day, a drop of human blood is added to the tank to ensure that they have a taste for human flesh. If one of the monkius species walks in front of the tank, they will follow them around, trying get a meal.

Duchamp Is My Lawyer: The Polemics, Pragmatics, and Poetics of Ubuweb (Paperback)
By Kenneth Goldsmith
In 1996, during the relatively early days of the web, Kenneth Goldsmith created UbuWeb to post hard-to-find works of concrete poetry. What started out as a site to share works from a relatively obscure literary movement grew into an essential archive of twentieth- and twenty-first-century avant-garde and experimental literature, film, and music. Visitors around the world now have access to both obscure and canonical works, from artists such as Kara Walker, Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros, Samuel Beckett, Marcel Duchamp, Cecil Taylor, Glenn Ligon, William Burroughs, and Jean-Luc Godard.
In Duchamp Is My Lawyer, Goldsmith tells the history of UbuWeb, explaining the motivations behind its creation and how artistic works are archived, consumed, and distributed online. Based on his own experiences and interviews with a variety of experts, Goldsmith describes how the site navigates issues of copyright and the ways that UbuWeb challenges familiar configurations and histories of the avant-garde. The book also portrays the growth of other "shadow libraries" and includes a section on the artists whose works reflect the aims, aesthetics, and ethos of UbuWeb. Goldsmith concludes by contrasting UbuWeb's commitment to the free-culture movement and giving access to a wide range of artistic works with today's gatekeepers of algorithmic culture, such as Netflix, Amazon, and Spotify.
Kenneth Goldsmith teaches writing at the University of Pennsylvania and is a senior editor of PennSound, an online poetry archive. His books include Uncreative Writing: Managing Language in the Digital Age (Columbia, 2011); Capital: New York, Capital of the Twentieth Century (2015); and Wasting Time on the Internet (2016).

The South of Vindhyas is the famous restaurant that serves up south Indian cuisine from the States of Kerela, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andra Pradesh.And whom better to take along but the Foodie Mr Aspi Irani.
You can also avail of the A La Carte Menu at the restaurant.
Pleasantly greeted by the restaurant Manager and a big smile by the other staff, we were guided to out table. The huge lit Diya and spice boat at the entrance prepared me for the Gastronomical and cultural feel I was going to experience that day.
The interiors were bright and colourful, the lighting and music was perfect to go with the ambiance. I noticed the pretty windows and thatched roofs to go with the Southern restaurant theme.
At first we were served up hot chicken Broth in a majestic bowl fit for a Kings dinner table. It was peppery and worked like magic for my runny nose.
For starters they served us the Spiced Pepper chicken, It was outstanding and very tender and served in a well polished silverware dish lined with a Banana leaf.The dishes were promptly cleared and " Behold " It was thali time now.
The elaborate Sit down meal.
I sipped on my buttermilk before I tucked in my royal non veg thali. It had a chicken , meat and a fish preparation with a whole load of other south Indian dishes includind Payasam , curd , curd rice , and mixed stew. Freshly prepared appams were served up while we ate with our hands and licked our fingers. A special mention here to the " Podi Mamsum" – succulent mutton spiced with Nellore spices, that was my favourite dish on the thali. Masala rice, plain rice and an assortment of Dals followed.
Later when I was asked if I liked to have a choice of extra dessert I simply could not resist the Ras Malai I had been craving for quite a while. It was huge, creamy and I did not feel guilty about having it all by myself.
At night this place offers light Live karnatak music by musicians.
Quite a sumptuous dinner this one, and I would long to go back and try the seafood Thali that promises squid, prawns and more variety of gravy's and fries.
Very true..South India is so beautiful and talking about the dishes, they makes my mouth watering, Love to go Again in South..!!

No Joy in NYC!
by John Farnam | 7:21 pm
14 Oct 20 "Re-imagining" Policing! "'It was a mistake,' you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you." David Levithan NYPD's "Chief" has officially caved-in, on behalf of his entire Department (the formally world-renowned NYPD), to the latest, futile attempt to appease hectoring harpies of the left who are encouraged and enabled by the mayor! At this juncture, the future of the NYPD, and NYC, is bleak! NYC's mayor, along with NY's governor, have directed the NYPD to create a committee to "re-imagine city policing after civil unrest" (whatever that is supposed to mean) There are some hints: Says the chief, "How do we make policing more equitable, fair, without sacrificing public safety?" We all know the answer: Public safety is to be forgotten entirely! In fact, from the exponentially-increasing level of violent crime in NYC now, it is obvious that it already has been forgotten! Wishful thinking continues: "Every New Yorker should feel confident that they can move about New York City with the assurance that our police officers are concerned with protecting them" Complete rubbish! Every New Yorker is currently frightened to death to "move about" anywhere in NYC! Police officers may be concerned, but they've been prohibited from doing anything! NYPD's best officers are all resigning as fast as they can, because they know the mayor and most of the city council hates them all. Currently, the Department is cripplingly understaffed, feeble, fatally disheartened. Violent criminals have little to fear in NYC, less with each passing day! New Yorkers (the remaining few who have not permanently exited already) can look forward to general bedlam, ecumenical squalor, even higher taxes and fees, scant protection, no opportunity to protect themselves. "Re-imagine" that! /John

By Jorge Mercado / Tuesday, January 11th, 2022 / Comments Off on Inogen shares drop despite projected revenue growth
Goleta-based Inogen expects minor revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2021 but major growth for the full fiscal year, according to preliminary estimates the company released Jan. 10.
The portable oxygen concentrator manufacturer expects to see revenue in the range of $75.9 million to $76.9 million for the three months ended December 31, growth of 2.5% to 3.5% from the same period a year ago.
For the full year of 2021, Inogen expects revenue in the range of $357.5 million to $358.5 million, which would be 15.9% to 16.2% more than in 2020.
Inogen shares dropped sharply on Jan. 10 after the announcement, closing at $29.54, down from a closing price of $32.48 on the previous trading day. The stock recovered some of the that loss the following day and was trading at around $31 late in the trading day on Jan. 11.
"Our results for the full year demonstrate the progress we are making to build and strengthen capabilities and operating disciplines, drive focused execution behind our new strategic imperatives, and selectively invest in our business to lay the foundation for more sustainable and durable performance and growth," Nabil Shabshab, Inogen's CEO, said in a company news release.
Despite the revenue growth, supply chain issues continue to limit Inogen's ability to tap into its full potential.
According to Inogen, direct-to-consumer sales grew about 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021, to $33 million, but that growth was offset by limited product availability.
Domestic business-to-business sales dropped from $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 to just $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, as Inogen again cited limited product availability as a reason for the large drop-off.
Inogen said it is redesigning some of its components that require semiconductor chips in order to meet demand and deal with chip delays and shortages. Additionally, due to the ship shortages, Inogen temporarily suspended manufacturing operations on Jan. 3 at its Texas and California locations.
The company does not expect to furlough any employees as a result of the suspension, with Inogen aiming to restart manufacturing capabilities in late February.
Inogen said it is taking this time to cross-train employees and accelerate a move to the company's new plant in Texas, which will allow for additional capacity once the supply chain stabilizes.

Will more than 80% of the new US electricity Generation Capacity in 2016 come from solar and wind?
One way to measure how quickly the U.S. is striving towards clean energy is the percentage of added electricity generation capacity each year in the form of renewables. The sum total of electricity generation from solar and wind sat at 5.7% in July 2015, but the fraction of added capacity from renewables in 2015 was 69%, according to this Cleantechnica report.
To get the percentage of total U.S. electricicty production by solar and wind to the tens of percent necessary to significantly impact carbon emissions it doesn't just mean that more panels and turbines need to be built; wind and solar will have to proportionally overcome energy production from coal, nuclear power, hydroelectric, and natural gas, to dominate the new added capacity for years to come.
The sudden momentum boost for newly-added wind and solar energy recently is most likely because they're the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions. Will this trend in renewable energy continue, such that 80% of the added U.S. electricity generation capacity in 2016 comes from solar and wind power?
This question will resolve positively if the 2016 Cleantechnica report (see the archive) shows renewables make up for 80% or more of added U.S. electricity generation capacity in 2016.

I am constantly inspired by the designers and artists of the 1950's and 1960's. I love their use of bold geometric shapes and fine lines, and I find that this aesthetic translates well into fabric and stitch.
This semi-circular pendant is inspired by designs, patterns and colours used by artists and designers of the 1950's and 1960's.
The pendant is made from a Soft Grey linen and is fully interfaced to provide structure. I have bound the edges using embroidery threads in Cobalt Blue and Soft Grey. This is suspended beneath a hammered Silver bar and hung from a chain of Sterling Silver.
I have enamelled the Silver bar to prevent tarnishing. All findings are Sterling Silver. The pendant measures 70x35mm and the chain is 22" long trace chain.

David Pitofsky Named News Corp General Counsel
New York, NY (February 12, 2015) — News Corp announced today that David Pitofsky has been named General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer.
Mr. Pitofsky succeeds Gerson Zweifach. Mr. Zweifach, who remains Group General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer of 21st Century Fox, was retained as the General Counsel of News Corp on a transitional basis following the separation of the two companies in June 2013.
Mr. Pitofsky has been Deputy General Counsel and Deputy Chief Compliance Officer of News Corp since 2013.
"I am grateful to Gerson for his steadfast leadership during the separation of our two companies and this time of transition for the new News Corp," said Rupert Murdoch, Executive Chairman of News Corp. "Gerson has been a consistent source of wise counsel and strategic thinking, and he will be missed, though I am glad he will continue to lead the legal team at 21st Century Fox."
Mr. Murdoch continued, "Over the past two years I have worked with David, he has proven himself to be a first-rate lawyer whose insights and advice have been invaluable. We feel very fortunate to have him as our new General Counsel, where I am sure he will provide great leadership and support to our businesses around the world."
"David's the ideal person to slip into Gerson's large legal shoes, ensuring a seamless transition in a major leadership position here at News Corp," said Robert Thomson, Chief Executive of News Corp. "His impeccable integrity, legal insight and collaborative spirit will serve us all well in the years ahead."
"All of us at News Corp appreciate Gerson's very effective service as our General Counsel during this crucial start-up period," said Mr. Thomson. "We knew from the outset that this day was inevitable, but Gerson's efficacious impact will echo for many years to come."
"I'm honored to succeed Gerson, from whom I've learned so much, and thrilled to have the chance to work even more closely with Robert and everyone at News Corp," said Mr. Pitofsky. "As a new company with growing global and increasingly digital businesses, News Corp has many exciting challenges and opportunities, which I look forward to tackling with my colleagues."
"I can't think of a better person to take on this task than David, whose judgment and legal acumen I trust without reservation," said Mr. Zweifach. "I'll miss the frequent dealings with Robert and so many others at News Corp with whom I've worked on many issues, but I deeply appreciate the unique opportunity I've had."
As General Counsel, Mr. Pitofsky will oversee global legal operations for News Corp, including litigation, mergers and acquisitions, ethics and corporate governance matters. As Chief Compliance Officer, he will chair the Company's Compliance Steering Committee. He will lead a legal team that includes deputy general counsels Michael Bunder, Eugenie Gavenchak, Mark Jackson and James Marcovitz. Mr. Bunder also serves as News Corp Corporate Secretary and Mr. Jackson also serves as General Counsel of the Company's Dow Jones subsidiary.
Mr. Pitofsky joined News Corp from the law firm of Goodwin Procter LLP, where he was a partner. From 1996 to 2005, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York, rising to the level of Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Georgetown University Law Center, where he was an Executive Editor of the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics.
News Corp (NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) is a global, diversified media and information services company focused on creating and distributing authoritative and engaging content to consumers throughout the world.

Moses Moody stars Jonathan Kuminga struggles during the Vegas Summer League opener
LAS VEGAS — With Moses Moody already having two NBA Summer League games under his belt this year, anticipation at the Warriors' Las Vegas opener Friday night at the Thomas & Mack Center was all about the return of Jonathan Kuminga.
But Moody stole the show and Kuminga's rust was more than apparent in the Warriors' 101-88 loss to the New York Knicks.
Moody, 20, scored 34 points in the loss, all coming in the first three quarters of the night. He finished 8-for-13 from the field and 3-for-6 from 3-point range. The sophomore also added five rebounds and two blocks.
The number that really stood out was his free throw attempts. Moody shot the ball 17 times from the charity strip and made 15 of his attempts. During his only season in Arkansas, Moody had a game in which he took 19 free throws in a win against Alabama, in which he scored 26 points.
That kind of aggressiveness is music to Warriors coach Jama Mahlalela's ears.
"It's great," said Mahlalela. "The fact that he comes to the line so often shows that he is aggressive. And when we talk about experimentation and trying things over the summer so these players can be the best versions of themselves for a Warriors team, that's something we've really talked to Moses about a lot.
"Those downhill attacks, pulling contacts, trying to get the goal or at least getting fouled and going to the free-throw line."
From the start it was clear that Moody was going to have a big night. He amassed 12 points in the first quarter, had gone up to 20 by halftime and lost another 14 points in the third quarter. Moody didn't come out once in the first quarter, looking like a player trying to prove a point.
Throughout the night he scored in multiple ways. He finished on the edge, hitting jump shots and hitting three 3-pointers after struggling from there in his two California Classic games.
Moody's aggressiveness was evident when he opened the list of Warriors' Summer League games in Vegas. Coming into the game, his focus was on just going with the flow and taking it one game at a time. The strategy paid off.
"My attitude really was go out there, don't force anything, let the game flow, let the game come, and that's usually how it goes when you trust the process and trust your teammates and play good basketball," Moody said.
For how great Moody was, Kuminga's night went in the opposite direction.
Kuminga, 19, flew to Las Vegas on Wednesday and didn't have much time to settle in after returning from Congo. He was the first Warriors player to be taken out and his lack of condition was immediately apparent. The box score didn't do him any favors either.
Early in the period, Kuminga was kept scoreless as he walked off the field 0-6 and fired his first shot attempt. He ended up scoring four points and turning the ball around five times. Kuminga went 2-for-10 off the field, missing all four of his shots from deep and all four of his free throws.
Of more concern was that he looked like someone who sometimes wanted to be somewhere other than Summer League and just didn't always push himself as much as a tight game required most of the time.
Mahlalela didn't specifically mention Kuminga but said: "We have to find a way that one bad game doesn't become another bad game."

It is not known how much Kuminga will play in Las Vegas. This was another learning experience for him and the Warriors are putting him in positions he's not quite used to, including handling the ball and making quick decisions.
When he plays in James Wiseman's anticipated summer league debut on Sunday night and returns to action, Kuminga will be looking for a big comeback. For Friday night's game, it was clear which former lottery picks of Kuminga and Moody are progressing and playing more lately.
The Warriors are tied 4-0 between the California Classic and the Las Vegas Summer League this summer after winning an NBA championship less than a month ago.

Road crews prepare for possible winter weather in Columbia
4 years 11 months 2 weeks ago Wednesday, February 04 2015 Feb 4, 2015 Wednesday, February 04, 2015 6:17:00 AM CST February 04, 2015 in News
By: Nick Komisar, KOMU 8 Reporter
COLUMBIA - Just days after one winter storm, the KOMU First Alert Weather team predicted around 1 to 2 inches of snow to fall Wednesday. Road crews began pre-treating roads at 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, but also began prelimary work Tuesday.
"We have been pre-treating with salt and sand, especially the areas that typically get slickest the fastest," Sally Oxenhandler, MoDOT community relations manager said. "Those are bridges, hills, curves and things like that, so we have been pre-treating and we will continue to do that as necessary."
Oxenhandler said MoDOT crews will be out treating roads from 7 a.m until 7 p.m. Oxenhandler suggested though travelers avoid being out as much as possible.
She said high traffic areas like I-70, Providence Boulevard and Stadium Boulevard will be at the top of the list for crews to clear.
Two superintendents from Boone County Public Works also spoke with KOMU 8 News and said their crews were set to begin at 7 a.m. as well. They said they are treating roads with a salt, sand and cinder mix.

Gracious Trump Gave 'Props' in SOTU to Historic Gains Women Made

Gracious Trump Gave 'Props' in SOTU to Historic Gains by Women
President had an 'own-the-room' moment when he acknowledged the record number of female lawmakers — yet many of them scorned the bulk of his address
Fox News host Laura Ingraham praised President Donald Trump late Tuesday night for his graciousness in giving "props" to the historic number of women elected to Congress in 2018 in an "own-the-room" moment during his State of the Union (SOTU) address.
Americans sent a record number of women — the overwhelming majority of whom are Democrats — to Congress following the November midterm elections.
Democratic women wore white to Trump's SOTU address in solidarity with the suffragette movement. Although most of those white-clad women refused to stand and clap during key parts of the president's speech, there was one moment in particular that brought them to their feet.
"No one has benefited more from a thriving economy than women who have filled 58 percent of the newly created jobs last year," Trump said to a round of applause.
"You weren't supposed to do that!" Trump teased as the Democratic women stood and cheered.
"Thank you very much. Don't sit yet. You're going to like this," Trump continued. "And exactly one century after Congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in Congress than at any time before."
This earned a series of "USA" chants from the Democratic women.
But for her part, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not accept Trump's praise as graciously in remarks she made after the speech.
"When he acknowledged that it was the largest number of women, he forgot to acknowledge there is only 15, what is it, 15 Republicans and 91 Democratic women in the Congress of the United States," Pelosi said. "I was like, 'Weird you're bringing this up.'"
Ingraham said, "That's it? Is that the best you've got, San Francisco, really?"

"That's why it was a nice moment," she said of Trump's acknowledgment. "You think Trump doesn't know that they are mostly Democrats? He was actually doing what they claim they want him to do — bipartisan acknowledgment: 'Good for you, you guys are here, it's the anniversary of women's suffrage.'"
"I thought that was a brilliant moment in the speech and she knows — she knows it's brilliant, that's why she has to kind of [react] in that little snitty way," Ingraham said.
Consultant and pollster Frank Luntz was in the chamber during the address. Ingraham asked him on her show, "Frank, these are women who, many of them have said — called him a racist, called him a misogynist, said he should be impeached, and he gave them props there. They were wearing white for the suffragettes."
"I thought that was a brilliant, own-the-room moment for this president," Ingraham added.
Luntz replied, "I think they made a mistake because they did not stand … In virtually every case, they sat on their hands, even when it was something that they themselves would have been proud of if this had been Barack Obama."

"I had an amazing seat so I could see who was up and who wasn't. And [House Majority Leader] Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), I give him credit, he was up. The women behind him would not applaud, they would not stand, they would not show any recognition when Trump talked about having the most major impact on African-American employment, Latino employment. The women stayed put," Luntz said.
Ingraham agreed "it was really important" to see who did and who did not stand for record low unemployment for African-Americans and "all these successes for women."
Byron York, the Washington Examiner's chief political correspondent and a Fox News contributor, noted that "that was one of the parts of the speech that was designed to appeal to everybody talking about the creation of jobs for everybody."
American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp noted, "If you actually take away all of vitriol, the people who just hate, have animus toward Trump, if you actually look at his policies, they are commonsense policies" — then more Democrats would stand.
Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) told Ingraham, "What you saw [Tuesday night] is a president that [gave] … one of the most historic speeches I can remember."
"What you saw was a president hitting his stride, buoyant [about] the results that his agenda is achieving, and it's disgusting, frankly, to see Americans sit on their hands when you talk about the lowest African-American employment in history," Perdue said.
"He laid out a vision for America that builds on [the] successes of his presidency so far and the results he's achieving right now," Perdue said. "But Nancy Pelosi has a historic opportunity right now to be a partner with Donald Trump."
