Q: sql date hour conversion I have SQL like this:
`table1`.`DateField` >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL {$days} DAY

My table1.DateField is in the format of 2010-03-10 10:05:50.
The value of  {$days} could be 4 hours or 3 days. How can I make the above sql smart enough to know that? Should I use
`table1`.`DateField` >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL {$days} DAY_HOUR

A: "could be 4 hours or 3 days" - and it can't be 4 HOUR or 3 DAY?
Do you have to worry about invalid units or even malicious (user) input?
You could test the given string and "convert" the units to something MySQL understand, e.g.
<?php
$pattern = '!^(\d+) (.+)$!';
$units = array(
  'days'=>'DAY',
  'hours'=>'HOUR',
  'minutes'=>'MINUTE'
);

foreach( array('14 days', '7 hours', '11 hours', '1 or 1=1') as $userinput) {
  echo "\n", $userinput, ': ';
  if ( !preg_match($pattern, $userinput, $m) || !isset($units[$m[2]]) ) {
    echo "error, cause: ...\n";
    continue;
  }

  $sql = sprintf(' ...
    WHERE
      `table1`.`DateField` >= Now() - INTERVAL %d %s', $m[1], $units[$m[2]]
  );
  echo $sql, "\n";
}

prints
14 days:  ...
    WHERE
      `table1`.`DateField` >= Now() - INTERVAL 14 DAY

7 hours:  ...
    WHERE
      `table1`.`DateField` >= Now() - INTERVAL 7 HOUR

11 hours:  ...
    WHERE
      `table1`.`DateField` >= Now() - INTERVAL 11 HOUR

1 or 1=1: error, cause: ...

A: You can't, you have to work around that:
"`table1`.`DateField` >= DATE_SUB(NOW(),
    INTERVAL {$hoursOrDays} ".($isDays?"DAY":"HOUR")

Songwriters vs. Co-writers
Kylea Pearson, News Editor|February 20, 2019
Kylea Pearson
Songwriters are the backbone of the music industry and original lyrics will never compare to "bought lyrics." In 2019 it feels as though there are no original melodies or words coming from our car radios and we often find ourselves wondering why our favorite artists aren't given the same attention as artists who don't write the words they perform.
Post Malone's music receives a bad reputation for his biggest hit "Rockstar feat. 21 Savage." People either tend to love it or hate it, but regardless, Post Malone writes his own lyrics. He is a well-known newer artist in rap but he actually has hometown roots in Syracuse, NY. Since he was 16 years old, Post Malone has been writing his own music originally inspired by folk, rap, heavy metal, and several other musical genres.
Malone tells local Syracuse News, "And from then on I just started making what I like. Playing the guitar. And writing my own songs. And just making music."
This popular artist can be held to his word in his music, which seems to be a rarity in today's music industry.
Death Cab for Cutie has recently received more notice for their latest album "Thank You For Today" written by the band's lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Gibbard, who has been writing the band's music since the beginning of their musical career. Originating from Seattle, Death Cab For Cutie has emitted their calm and lyrical presence since their first album in 1998 "Something About Airplanes." Gibbard's songwriting showcases every phase and scenario he's gone through as he's evolved over time.
Gibbard's music has transformed from that of a lovestruck and angsty young adult to the bigger issues that are typically faced by adults, such as divorce and loss. Without songwriters such as these receiving recognition for their originality, we're subjected to purchased lyrics and false emotion.
Though her vocal range and strength are phenomenal, her lyrics are processed and placed into a formula. Ariana Grande has released two albums less than seven months apart, and while "Sweetener" was a success and ultimately her best product yet, Grande's latest album "thank u next" shows that she has found the golden formula. A "yuh" there and a whistle tone here, Grande's latest album does not show as much effort in comparison to her previous works. Though Grande states that she writes what she sings, it took nine co-writers to produce her song "7 Rings" which also has a catchy tune that plays on any Bay Area radio station twice within half an hour, each hour.
Camila Cabello also has amazing breath support and a wide vocal range that deserves applause but she also uses several co-writers. Since leaving her career with Fifth Harmony, Cabello's solo music had a good start with hit's like "Havana" and "Consequences" but both songs had four co-writers' names attached.
All artists have room to grow and some artists don't feel they can produce lyrics as well as they can produce high notes. Regardless of this, singer/songwriters are true artists who can ensure their fans that what they hear melodically is something they've been through or experienced which deepens the connection to their fans and supporters in comparison to the artists that do not, in fact, write what they sing.

"Killer Inside" review: Aaron Hernandez Netflix series is problematic
Credit: Netflix
Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez is a Netflix documentary that draws a complicated portrait of the late NFL star. It's a somewhat compelling series, but it feels problematic in a variety of ways.
The story covers Hernandez's childhood and football career at the University of Florida and with the New England Patriots. Red flags abound in his backstory, yet his talent and production on the gridiron allowed him to maintain a disturbing double life, culminating in multiple murders and his own suicide.
Let's break down Netflix's Killer Inside in more detail. This will contain spoilers for the docuseries.
The way in: Hernandez's domestic turmoil, CTE
One way the three-episode narrative tries to generate empathy for Hernandez is through his extensive injury issues, as he was diagnosed with the degenerative brain disease CTE after his death. That's really not at the forefront until the last 10 minutes of the series. A larger focus is placed on how he grew up.
His father, Dennis, was a running back at Bristol High School and respected in the community. However, it's revealed in the first episode he had a violent streak, and once slammed his wife's head into a sink until she was unconscious.
Dennis died during routine hernia surgery, which crushed Hernandez, as he was close to his father, despite his domestic abuse. Thereafter, his mother began a relationship with his older cousin's husband, who then moved into the Hernandez family home.
The father of Hernandez's high school quarterback is interviewed throughout, and really drives home how this development rocked the teenager's world. It led him to stay with his cousin, Tanya Singleton, who became a motherly figure to him.
Upon living with his cousin, Hernandez befriended Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, who would later be his accomplices in the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.
A dubious handling of the sexuality subplot
Hernandez's quarterback at Bristol, Dennis SanSoucie, describes how the two had a sexual relationship, and much of the docuseries hones in on how Hernandez repressed his homosexuality. But it's all so speculative. A former gay Patriots player, Ryan O'Callaghan offers his opinions to support that thesis, but it all felt a little cheap.
SanSoucie details how Bristol High frowned upon kids who came out of the closet, himself included. Of course, the macho, hyper-masculine nature of football can be perceived a good "cover," and it was for O'Callaghan.
Nevertheless, again, it all feels speculative. Who's to say either way? It's a little too inferred that Hernandez's homosexuality compounded all the issues in his life, rather than a fact that's really understood by anyone from his life.
That is, until third and final episode finally sheds more light on the issue. It features a clip of his brother, DJ, talking about how Hernandez was sexually abused as a child. That abuse, Hernandez believed, made him confused about his sexuality, and led to his anger problems.
Withholding that extremely vital information until the finale takes one aback for two reasons. One, all the homosexuality speculation in the prior episodes, especially the first, doesn't feel connected to anything. Two, it feels like a manipulation of information just to have some clever reveal or payoff.
It's somewhat similar to how the CTE thread of the story is handled, and how Hernandez's frontal lobe — which informs decision-making — was damaged in a way doctors hadn't seen before in such a young man. The CTE coverage at least makes more sense, since the story proceeds through Hernandez's life chronologically for the most part.
A fiancée in denial
Hernandez's fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, happened to be the sister of Lloyd's girlfriend. Jenkins' loyalty to Hernandez is a big point of emphasis. One story beat implies she aided in disposing evidence The jury didn't see her as a reliable witness, because she had no intention of giving up her husband-to-be.
This all in spite of the fact that Hernandez was implicated in a separate murder case while the Lloyd trial played out. Another indictment for a 2012 double homicide, though Hernandez was ultimately acquitted in 2017.
A lot of audio comes from phone conversations between Shayanna Jenkins and Hernandez while he's in prison. She passes up a close relationship with her sister and sides with her fiancee instead. They also have a daughter together, which definitely complicates things.
Whatever was happening in their relationship, based on what's depicted in Killer Inside, it was clear to anyone who knew Hernandez at all closely he was running with the wrong crowds, engaging in illegal activities, doing drugs often, drinking heavily and was prone to episodes of anger and violent behavior.
Additionally, Jenkins sticks with Hernandez even after his conviction.
Final Netflix Killer Inside verdict: Chill
Streaming on Netflix
Directed by Geno McDermott
Starring Kevin Armstrong, Dan Wetzel, Patrick Haggan
Overall, this docuseries holds a viewer's attention rather well — at least for the first episode and a half. The story is ultimately tragic for everyone involved.
It's understandable to try to draw a sympathetic portrait of someone in light of CTE and being a victim of a variety of domestic abuses, both personally and as a witness. Between the physical and emotional trauma, Hernandez was obviously dealing with a lot. It didn't help that his surrogate mother raised him around unsavory influences.
All that said, between the sexuality storyline's handling and the numerous, horrific acts Hernandez committed, Killer Inside almost feels like it's reaching at times to side with Hernandez. It feels manipulative at times, and it's unnecessary.
Perhaps the most jarring part stems from SanSoucie's father, as touched on before, talking up the super close relationship between Aaron and Dennis Hernandez.
Sure, the former's mother's affair with a family member was hard on him. Yet, it also overlooks how disturbing it is that Hernandez was seen as so close to a vicious, alcoholic, abusive father. That sounds more like a traumatic father-son bond. SanSoucie's father never addresses this further.
In any event, Hernandez's life was tumultuous, duplicitous and unnerving. If you love true crime stories, maybe Netflix's Killer Inside is more for you. It gets a "Chill" from me — and while the substance is there, the execution is, well, the headline says it: problematic.

Heat the bacon fat in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat until hot. Stir in the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream, roasted garlic, and thyme leaves along 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the cheeses. Toss the cheese sauce with the macaroni and transfer to a 3-quart baking dish.

Examining the ISIS Attack in Brussels
Home Blog Post Examining the...
The Islamic State (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the bombings in Brussels that killed more than 30 people and injured 140. ISIL claimed more than 40 people died and 210 were injured.
ISIS claimed responsibility: "We promise to bring the Crusader nations in the coalition against the Islamic State black days in response to their aggression against the Islamic State. What is yet to come will be far worse, God willing. Thanks be to God for His guidance and supervision. We pray to Him to accept our brothers among the martyrs."
Another (counting up) two hundred and ten black-eye'd virgins were claimed. One American goal should be to use up all of the virgins waiting for martyrs and leave the dead military age Muslim men discontent and standing in line. Is it 'Islamophobic' for me to write that? Too late, I just did. In England, I'd be guilty of a crime for writing that. I'd do a lot of time in Ye Old Bailey if I lived there.
ISIS did an effective job. Their operation was well-planned and executed, and it reveals the extent of the support system that they have in place in Belgium (and France) and one can extrapolate that it's also present throughout Europe.
Salah Abdeslam's arrest is said to have triggered these attacks by ISIS. You remember Salah (pictured right)? He was a shot caller during the most recent attacks in Paris. In the five months since those attacks he lived with his family, in the open, in his home neighborhood in Brussels. The Belgian Police didn't observe him because they avoid going into the Muslim neighborhoods. It takes many people and many locations to execute successfully a complex bombing attack, as occurred in Brussels and Paris. What have we learned so far?
The terrorists and their support systems are not emerging from refugee camps, as they do in Kenya or Nigeria, or from Muslim ghettos. They live in or use respectable neighborhoods. That affords them easy access to the materials for bomb making and to private vehicles. They appear respectable. The leaders and bombers seem to be naturalized citizens more often than one might expect. That is the sign of a sophisticated sleeper agent program.
The Belgians and other tolerant, liberal, generous European welfare states have often made it a crime to criticize Islam. Their security forces appear to be unaware of how deeply they have been penetrated by terrorist cells and the border-free European Union only exacerbates a serious problem. ISIS trains its people and sends in professionals to do its dirty work. Their operations are complex, well funded and well supported locally (as we've seen in Paris and Belgium recently).
There will be more of these attacks until somebody somewhere decides that the savages need to be dealt with harshly.
Update: From Fox News
Belgium declares a day of peace and love with an outreach of understanding and caring to Muslims worldwide in response.

There will be much more of this, until we understand that winning a war cannot be accomplished by any consideration whatsoever to 'collateral damage.'
We are at war. To win it, we must give it all we got. To include putting aside any concern whatsoever about civilian casualties. Terrorists understand that they can mingle within civilian populations, and are therefore immune from attack.
That immunity must end. No other way to win. This fact is not even arguable. War is hell.
Historically there were things that worked and there were things that didn't work. Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended WW2. — to your point.

We need to stop worrying about collateral damage on their side because the collateral damage is adding up disproportionately on our side. Just taking the Brussels incident, three or possibly four took out ~30 innocent lives and injured 230. I don't think those are favorable odds.
It's not Islamophobic if they murder innocent people. They contend that it's unfair when we drop bombs. You have to understand the metric that they work with and that the progressive left has swallowed.
The US has concerns that anything we do will lead to global warming.

In the aftermath, the bleeding-heart progressives are all crying that we shouldn't judge the whole because of the actions of a few and condemning the world for racism.
Except…blaming others for their problems is exactly what progressives do and Islam is not a race.
The ignorance of the people in the West astounds me.
LL March 24, 2016 At 1:10 am
I think that if you walked around any campus and took a survey at random from the inteligencia present, they would overwhelmingly affirm that Islam is a race, not a religion.
Jules March 24, 2016 At 8:23 am
I can assure you that the level of unrest in England is bubbling. Despite our liberal nature and acceptance of all, opinions are changing. I find it interesting to see a lot young people having a very different take on the matter and being far less tolerant. Somebody from my neighbourhood was on the Brussels metro and leaves behind a wife and young child. Horrific. I don't know how you can stop these attacks coming because they live among us now.
Anyway, let me tell you this: Last night I went out for a couple of drinks with my friends to raise a toast to a departed loved one. We walked outside to a table and as I came out, a Muslim guy was on his phone and he looked me up and down as I passed. He then came up to me and said "I want to F***K you." Nice eh? I said "I beg your pardon? What did you just say to me?' He said it again and asked me if he could. "No you can't you muppet," I replied, "And what makes you think you can talk to me like that?" "Because you're a white girl," he said, "How much to F**k you?" How much, really, he asked me how much. "I'll give you twenty quid" he said. I didn't know whether to be more pissed off with his comment or that I was only worth £20! I've met some arseholes in my time, I really have but I have never had an English bloke speak to me like that.
Fredd March 24, 2016 At 10:04 am
True, you don't want a Hungarian mad at you, it never ends well. At all.
Jules: your encounter with that muslim scum is indicative of the problem we all have with muslims. They bring their low life culture with them wherever they go, and muslims are not what any other culture would call civilized.
Uncivil behavior needs to be sanctioned severely at every level. Muslims seem to think it ok to throw acid in women's faces of whom they consider in the wrong (on any topic). They consider it just fine and dandy to murder someone because their honor has been questioned (honor killings).
We can certainly accommodate people who come from foreign cultures here in the US, and the UK as well; IF they embrace the local cultural norms, and leave behind their fetid, putrid culture where it belongs – in the toilet that is the Middle East.
The rag head would have his head stove in if I heard that here. But it's certainly part of their culture. I think that the nature of America and Americans make that sort of conduct less likely. I realize that it's common in Europe, but I couldn't imagine that in Texas, Utah, Wyoming or Oklahoma, for example. Not even in tolerant and liberal California.
Better that they are removed to their own fetid desert to live among their own. It's interesting to see that both Poland and Hungary no longer accept these human lice, fleeing from what they created for themselves.
The US has been a welcoming place for people of all races, faiths and cultures. With Islam, we have taken in enough. Trump is absolutely correct. I realize that the US has allies who are Muslims and they should be welcomed to VISIT, but all of them must be scrutinized with a tight lens simply because of the crude and savage nature of their faith.
Poland has refused to take 7,500 Muslim refugees. Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said she did not see "any possibility for refugees to come to Poland after the Brussels attack."
How else can rational, civilized nations view these people?
I'm just pleased that there is an ocean between us and them (by in large).
My Take: Dea...
Larry-Lambert - November 28, 2010 2
Over the past few days I ...


I think the phrase "on earth as it is in heaven" gives huge insight into what the application is for this verse. If God desires for things on earth to be as they are in heaven, then what kinds of things should we expect to see? I would dare to say that we would see healing, both physical and spiritual, because there is no curse of sin in heaven. I would also be so bold as to say that we might expect to see people living Holy lives, because there is no sin in heaven. The driving out of demonic spirits, the salvation of souls, massive amounts of authentic worship, or to sum it all up: everything coming under the authority of Jesus Christ.
Clearly we are not to pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven", then sit back and wait to see it happen. No, instead God has redeemed us, brought us into the Kingdom of Light and has given us the tools we need to see heaven manifest on the earth. Besides, prayer is not about getting God to do what we desire, but about us alining ourselves with what He desires: Salvation, Healing, Deliverance, Joy, Peace, Love, Obedience, Holiness…Over all the earth.

NBC 7's Dave Summers spoke to the toddler's father who thought for a moment that he had lost his son. (Published Friday, Sept. 14, 2018)
A local family is still shaken up after their 15-month-old baby boy was bitten by a baby rattlesnake.
The snake struck Wednesday morning at a daycare operated by Naval Base San Diego in Chollas Heights and the child was rushed to Rady Children's hospital.
Some might call the child, who at the parents' request NBC 7 is identifying as Wayne, "lucky". Because of his age and size, the snake bite could have killed lucky little Wayne.
Thanks to a couple recovery days the swelling around the bite and his fever have gone down, and baby Wayne is getting back to his playful self. One thing that hasn't subsided is the fear.
"He freaked out when he saw a toy moving quickly around him. He thought it was a snake," his father Javier said.
Javier shared this bizarre experience with NBC 7 from a parent's perspective.
"A snake at a daycare?" he wondered. "I figured they would have checks or something along those lines that protect children."
The 15-month-old reached for what he thought was a toy but it turned out to be a baby rattlesnake.
The bite happened in the fenced play area outside The Child Development Center in Chollas Heights.
"He was slumped he can't keep his eyes open. He was just lying there," Javier said. "I was awestruck for a very few seconds, I thought my son was gone."
The toddler's hand swelled four times its normal size. He was given anti-venom that took effect overnight.
A Naval Base spokesperson told NBC 7 the snake, because it was small, may have slipped through the fence. They said it was the first time it has happened.
The long-term effects of the snake bite are unknown, but Wayne's father just wants his happy baby boy back.

"I hope he can get past the trauma, honestly," he said. "He's a kid with a golden heart."
Javier says the snake was only able to get one fang in his son's hand, preventing the full release of the venom. Wayne immediately ran to a caregiver who called an ambulance right away.
The boy's father says this sequence of events prevented this from ending much worse. In the wake of all this, daycare operators say they are now doing a thorough check of the play area each morning before children are allowed to enter.

According to the CDC, if you are ever bitten by a snake it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Also try to remember the shape and color of the snake, as this can help with treatment.

Why Hands-Free Faucets May Be a Risk to Some Hospital Patients
Automatic faucets use an electronic sensor to start and stop the flow of water when people wash their hands. These faucets save a lot of water, which is one reason they are found in busy public bathrooms. Another reason is because of concerns about the spread of infection by people touching the handles on traditional faucets.
Hospitals started using automatic faucets about ten years ago. But a new study at one hospital finds that these devices may not always be worth the savings in water use.
Researcher took apart twenty automatic faucets at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. They found that half contained Legionella bacteria, compared to fifteen percent of manual faucets.
Healthy people rarely get sick from the bacteria. So the study should not concern most users of automatic faucets in public bathrooms.
But Legionella bacteria can cause a form of pneumonia in people with weakened immune systems. These include patients with diseases like cancer and HIV/AIDS, and those who have recently had an organ transplant.
After their first tests, the researchers cleaned the water system with chlorine dioxide. But they found that twenty-nine percent of the automatic faucets were still contaminated with bacteria. That compared to seven percent of the manual faucets.
The researchers have some theories. Dr. Emily Sydnor says the automatic faucets contain more parts, so there are more areas where bacteria could grow. Also, the reduced water pressure in low-flow faucets might not remove as much bacteria from surfaces.
EMILY SYDNOR: "We think that, one, the pieces and the parts inside are sort of providing places and surface area for bacteria to get trapped and probably promoting something called bio-film formation, which is essentially just a colony of bacteria that can sort of coexist in a little slime and a little, almost a little colony of it that it's hard to get rid of. And that, combined with the low water flow, is probably promoting the growth."
Six other studies have also found higher amounts of bacteria in automatic faucets. The latest study was presented Saturday at a meeting of the Society for Health Care Epidemiology in Dallas, Texas.
The study has not yet been published. But the results have persuaded Johns Hopkins Hospital to replace its automatic faucets with manual ones.
The Chicago Faucet Company supplies the hospital with automatic and manual faucets. Patrick Kimener, the senior vice president of sales, said he had not seen the full study.
PATRICK KIMENER: "Our company has been around for a hundred and ten years. We've been a long-term supplier for an awful lot of health care facilities in the U.S. and we're more than interested to find out what those findings would be."
And that's the VOA Special English Health Report. I'm Christopher Cruise.

Episode 36: Millennials: Racist. Color Blind or Woke?
August 12, 2019	Simma Lieberman	Diversity, LGBT, Politics and Culture, Race
Are Millennials less racist than other generations?
What do people from Africa have in common with African-Americans?
What generation is most in denial about racism?
What's it like to be the only Black person in your class?
These questions and more are answered on Every Day Conversations on Race. My guests are Mary-Lou Milabu, a millennial black Christian woman, whose family is from Congo, and Sara Bierman a millennial white Jewish woman from California who is also a lesbian. Both women share their experiences and views on race, racism, and perspectives on white privilege.
Mary-Lou shares what it was like to be one of the few Black people in her school and constantly being asked to be the spokesperson for African-Americans. While learning about Black history, a white teacher kept asking her about her family's history going back to slavery. When Mary-Lou said that was not her family's history since she was second-generation Congolese the teacher kept insisting. She had to school the teacher.
Sara shares what it was like for her growing up on a street where she was the only white kid and learning about racism towards people of color. She shares stories of talking to other white people about race and racism.
This exciting conversation on race with two millennial women, one white and one black will open your eyes to stereotypes, white privilege, and racism.
Episode 35: How Living the Principles of Kwanzaa Fights Racism
July 25, 2019	Simma Lieberman	Diversity, Politics and Culture, Race
Phyliss Williams co-host of Living the Principles podcast joins Simma to talk about the importance of the principles of Kwanzaa, and how her time in the Marines impacts the good work she does today.
Phyliss shares stories and experiences as an African American woman growing up in the south dealing with racism, and what it's like to see the racism today across the USA.
We talk about the importance of involving family and friends in the race conversation and having an impact on them.
Why it's essential that people vote
Selfish reasons why people don't vote and not voting is a vote against equal rights
Tactics used today to repress voting particularly in Black neighborhoods
Parallels between the past and the present in preventing people from voting
During her time attending a Christian College, she experienced racist dog whistles from other students and racism goes against all the principles of Christianity
How the Trump administration continues to dehumanize Black people and other people of color, Jewish people, LGBT People and immigrants
What we can do to have the conversation about race, eliminate hate and fear of differences and spread love
Be mindful of our energy, share resources and support each other
Remember that the holocaust happened because "nice" people said nothing
Speak out against gerrymandering which will impact the results of our voting
Speak up when people are told "go back to your country"
Listen to the stories of Black people and their experiences with racism, police brutality
Check assumptions and generalizations
Think about how different forms of privilege or automatic advantages impact us
Dismantle stereotypes
Episode 34 : Why Talking to White People About Race is Draining
June 8, 2019	Simma Lieberman	Diversity, LGBT, Race
In this conversation on race, LeRon talks to Simma about why it's often draining for him to talk to a lot of white people about race. Simma and LeRon agree that allies are important and that it's more effective for a white person to talk to another white person about race and racism in order to educate them, and raise their level of understanding.
LeRon and Simma both believe that you have to go where people are at and not assume they know more than they do. However, people need to be called on racist, homophobic, etc. statements. Being an ally and intervening can mean losing friends and even family members who want to hold on to hate. LeRon says he won't sit with certain family members who insist on making homophobic remarks.
It's usually more effective for someone to hear about race issues, racism and bias from someone who is more like them in some way. That's true for LGBTQ and homophobia. A straight person will be less defensive and more open to listen to another straight person.
Other topics are the challenges of talking about race and racism, race and d vegetarianism and whether Chicago pizza is better than New York pizza.
Episode 33 : What is behind the cancel-culture movement?
May 30, 2019	Simma Lieberman	LGBT, Politics and Culture, Race
Joel Brown talks about the need to allow people to grow, and the problems that arise when they are not given a chance to change. Racism doesn't get eliminated by attacking people who want to stop racism but may say the wrong thing. That's different than someone who is a racist, supports racism and takes actions to perpetuate racism.
Everyone is going to make mistakes. What is the point of having conversations if we can't do that? Joel says it's making him tired. While some of these issues are valid, they don't call for canceling people out. We need to be savvier.
When do we allow benevolence to be a good thing? When the billionaire keynote speaker at Morehouse said he would pay off everyone's school loans, someone asked on social media "why didn't they do that for Spelman?"
People are angry, not being heard, and want to be heard. Other people are cosigning because they don't want the other person to be in pain.
There is a hypersensitivity to issues that have not been addressed. At the same time, there needs to be room for conversation.
The USA has not dealt with its history of racism and slavery. We need to figure it out, or nothing will change. By calling out every single thing someone says, and putting so much energy in shutting people down, we end up not dealing with systemic racism.
It's easier to deflect from our own issues by making someone else "the enemy" when they are on our side. If we want to eliminate racism, we need more dialogue, conversation and education.
Conversations on race can only happen when people are open to listening, learning and talking.
If we want change, we have to look at manifestations of racism. Ex. At a high school white kids had "thug day," and dressed up as their stereotype of Black rappers. The white woman who exposed it was getting death threats. More attention needs to be on those issues and why this is going on.
Different issues need to have different consequences. We need to address how egregious is it? What were the intentions? How willing is the person to listen, learn and change?
Joel also says that it's essential for people of color to learn about each other, that Black people need to learn about Asian people, Asian people need to learn about LatinX people, etc. Just because people consider themselves a person of color doesn't mean they understand or have any contact with people from other groups and may have biases about other groups.
There is too much conversation and too many people saying that Democratic candidates for president are not "gay enough" "Black enough" or made a comment 20 years ago. If we want to defeat Trump, we will need to get behind whoever is running. Change and progress don't happen under repression. Racism, loss of rights, gender inequality only gets worse. Hate crimes go up.
People can create change under a liberal government. It's up to the people to take power together. Even under Obama, changes like gay marriage happened as a result of people putting pressure.
Increase in tribalism makes it easier for people to be co-opted, particularly white people who are alienated, many of whom are being targeted and recruited by white supremacists.
Look at ourselves
What part do we play, what do we need to change about ourselves?
How do I heal myself?
Hold politicians accountable, even those that look like us
Everyone needs to vote- think of the most vulnerable
Have the conversation
Have more conversations on race, real conversations beyond social media
We need to be in the same spaces and think about things differently
See the "other side." We need to listen and hear the basis for other people's thinking
People who are privileged have to look at what part they play and look at imbalance
We all have privilege and power in some level and need to share
Recognize when someone is making a good faith effort and be patient and educate
This is different than someone who is an active racist?
Episode 32 : Former Black Panther discusses current political climate
May 16, 2019	Simma Lieberman	Diversity, Politics and Culture, Race

What it's like to work with police today and why it's important to develop good relationships with good cops
The work that Elmer does in training police to understand issues in the Black community, and for police and the community to know each other
If police live in the communities they serve, there will be less police shootings of unarmed people

Episode 30 : Cross-Race Friendships; Can They Work?
April 24, 2019	Simma Lieberman	Art, Diversity, Race
Chip Conley and Wanda Whitaker join me on Every Day Conversations on Race for Everyday People to talk about the evolution of their friendship and bringing people together across race.
Chip grew up in an affluent white family in Southern California. He was the founder and CEO of Joie De Vivre Hospitalitythe first group of boutique hotels and is presently executive advisor to the CEO of Airbnb. Chip is also the founder of the Modern Elders Academy.
Wanda was raised in a middle-class African-American family in Washington DC. She is a healer, author and spiritual coach, and also on the Board of the Create Peace Project.
From very different racial and economic backgrounds, the two of them met 30 years ago in San Francisco, when Chip owned Miss Pearl's Jam House a Jamaican restaurant where Wanda would hang out to listen to Reggae. They're best friends and spiritual but not romantic soulmates.
I begin by asking each of them when they first became aware of race and racism.
Wanda:"I think, my first experience was when I was in junior high school. I was watching television and there was a commercial about an amusement park. And I said, mom, I really want to go, I want to go. She told me I couldn't go because of the color of my skin and I was really sad. That was my first kind of experience with racism. And then I'd drive with my father to North Carolina and I couldn't use the bathroom because it would say white people only."
And of course in DC during the riots, I saw people taking to the streets. I also saw Martin Luther King speaking and watched on television civil rights marchers racism being attacked by dogs and police.
Chip: "I grew up in Long Beach, California. I was the oldest of three kids. Long Beach is actually considered to be the most diverse city in the US because of the racial mix. I was a white kid in a predominantly white neighborhood but the high school in my district was predominantly Black.
My parents could have sent me to a private school that would be all white but they said they wanted me to go to the public school. It was a huge high school of about 5,000 students So I went there, was one of the few white kids and was called curious white boy.
I was a culturally curious white boy, and a minority in the school
I wanted to know people who were different than me. I had the best time with my Black friends and Black girlfriends. Some of my white friends in the school were awkward around the Black kids, but I felt like I could really be myself. I also got to experience being the "other," the person who was not from the dominant group in the school.
Knowing what does it feel like to be the other is a really important thing that everybody should experience. When you experience being the other, it makes it easier to understand and empathize with people who experience it on a daily basis.
Listen in to hear the rest of the conversation on race with Chip Conley and Wanda Whitaker.
Other topics we cover:
The need to sometimes be uncomfortable when talking about race, racism and other differences in order to later be comfortable.
Wanda goes to a deeper level about conversations on race with white people and how they have to move beyond shame and blame about slavery in order to move forward and take action to stop racism.
The Modern Elder Academy in Mexico, and issues of race and other differences.
How to get past defensiveness in the conversation on race, finding commonalities and making connections to prevent defensiveness and understand privilege and power.
Why diversity, belonging and being willing to make mistakes are essential in bringing people together to change
How to be curious, ask questions and be aware of personal bias.
Ways to talk about race and other differences even when you're uncomfortable and the role we all play in eliminating racism and fear.

Karen Nelson shares journey as a young Black girl growing up in the segregated south to become the Chief Diversity Officer of Appleton, Wisconsin.
She had to overcome the sabotage of her career success early on by a white boss who refused to listen to her ideas because she was a Black woman. Karen went on to become an activist for civil rights and met the white mayor of Appleton who is a strong believer in diversity, inclusion and eliminating racism.
A predominantly white city, of only 13% people of color, Karen and the mayor have created an environment in Appleton where people across all differences, especially immigrants are welcomed and encouraged to succeed.

Episode 28 : How To Create A White Ally Toolkit
March 22, 2019	Simma Lieberman	Politics and Culture, Race
David Campt, dialogue thought leader has created the White Ally Toolkit, for white people who want to end racism.
His family was one of three Black families in his neighborhood in Detroit. He talks about class differences amongst Black people and how it impacted him.
He says "instead of being shocked about racial divisions, we need to start changing that." Most white people he's spoken with have very little meaningful interactions with Black people.
In this conversation on race, David calls me on my bias and asks about my awareness and transformation. Listen in if you want to know more.
David offers tips on how to talk about race with people who are different. There are three dimensions to think about when having a conversation on race.
1- Cultural Difference
2- Unconscious bias and the science behind it
3- Impact of history
Some people think unconscious bias exists and history matters. Other people think bias doesn't exist and history matters.
What are the ways we look at each other, and how do we deal with conscious bias too.
We have to talk to people who don't agree with us, don't understand racism and don't see it as a problem. Only talking to people who agree with us on race and racism doesn't bring about the change. White people who are conscious have to get to know and talk to other white people who don't believe that way.
Instead of seeing all white people who voted for Trump as a group, we need to each talk to one person and open their minds.

5 Reasons Why Reporting Meetings are Awful (& What to Do Instead)
Reporting meetings are reactive and unproductive. In a time where performance data is available in real time, here's what to do instead.
John Bonini on March 21, 2019 (last modified on January 19, 2023) • 11 minute read
It's the end of the month. You've just spent the last 30 or so days heads down on the work, executing projects, putting out fires, and now, well, now it's time to answer the question–'how are we doing?'
To answer this question, you'll engage in this primitive exercise of cramming into a meeting that literally no one in the room wants to be at–the reporting meeting.
And afterward? Yeah, nothing much will change. Everyone will mostly put their heads back down and resume work on whatever they were working on before this exercise.
But hey, let's do this again next month, am I right?
Head, meet desk.
The worst part? We know it. Heck, everyone in the room knows it, and yet no one dares say it out loud…
Reporting meetings are awful.
They're stale. Reactive. Unproductive. They require a ton of time and resources to put on.
Reporting meetings once served a purpose–to report on the data in aggregate from campaigns that were otherwise hard to measure in real time.
But now? In a time where I can see how an ad campaign is performing, right now, and make adjustments, right now, to influence performance? Well, they're relics of another era.
One where we all couldn't track and influence campaigns right now.
This has changed everyone's expectations for how we should work, including everyone attending this aforementioned reporting meeting.
You? Well, it's not uncommon for you to refresh the performance dashboard of a tool (multiple times, amirite?) in order to see the latest update.
Your bosses? They ask you how that latest campaign is performing, or why upgrades are down this month.
Your clients? Well, they parachute in with urgent suggestions mid-month all the time, right?
So, everyone in the reporting meeting has expectations of monitoring and adjusting campaigns as they happen, yet we're all relying on this relic of a meeting as a conduit for action?
We've got it all wrong.
Here's more on why reporting meetings are awful and what we can all do about it.
Reason #1: It's too late to act
"I don't like waiting until the end of the month to find out that we missed a goal, especially if we knew we'd miss it in the first half of the month," said Sarah Bedrick, co-founder at Compt. "That's not helpful for the business and likely doesn't feel good for the team working toward the goal."
Can you imagine a coach waiting until the end of a game to provide feedback to her players?
Instead, she's constantly reading the defense and communicating adjustments from the sidelines or during breaks in the game.
Reporting meetings are not designed this way. Instead, they set a cadence across your whole team of analyzing and improving performance on a monthly basis rather than instill a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
This matters. As when you're meeting with your boss, team, or clients, you'll either be looking back (why did these things happen?) or looking forward (how can we make these things happen?) instead of maintaining focus over what you can control right now.
And, even though reporting meetings are standard practice in most companies, everyone in those companies has on-demand expectations.
Why are sales down? How is our spring email promotion performing? Should we invest more in our Facebook campaign?
No one wants to wait until the end of the month for these answers, but in a world where most teams still rely on static tools like spreadsheets and slides, it's just what happens.
So, how can we enable our team to make adjustments throughout the month to positively influence performance?
By killing reporting meetings altogether.
Think about it––the word "report" itself suggests finality. Students turn in reports when they're completed. Investigators issue reports upon the completion of an investigation. Scholars publish reports once they've completed their research.
But, performance is never complete.
Performance is fluid and can and should be monitored and adjusted as things happen.
In the old way of reporting, performance improvement was linear.
The work happened, followed by the analysis by a select few people within the company at the end of the month (or worse) quarter.
But in order to improve performance in a predictable manner, it is useful to leverage a tool such as a client tracking dashboard.
So, what if you ended reporting as a habit at work?
PRO TIP: How Are Users Engaging on My Site? Which Content Drives the Most Online Activity?
If you want to discover how visitors engage with your website, and which content drives the most engagement and conversions, there are several on-page events and metrics you can track from Google Analytics that will get you started:
Sessions and % new sessions. How much traffic does your website receive on a daily or monthly basis?
Sessions by channel. Which channels are driving the most traffic to your website?
Average session duration. How long do visitors spend on your website on average?
Pageviews and pageviews by page. Which pages on your website are viewed the most?
Average time on page. What is the average time users spend on a specific webpage?
Now you can benefit from the experience of our Google Analytics experts, who have put together a plug-and-play Databox template showing the most important KPIs for monitoring visitor engagement on your website. It's simple to implement and start using as a standalone dashboard or in marketing reports, and best of all, it's free!
You can easily set it up in just a few clicks – no coding required.
To set up the dashboard, follow these 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Get the template
Step 2: Connect your Google Analytics account with Databox.
Step 3: Watch your dashboard populate in seconds.

Reason #2: They're not accessible to everyone
"If you want your team to solve for revenue (or insert your metric of choice), then that means they need access to data on how the company is achieving those targets," said Ellie Mirman, CMO at Crayon. "First-hand access to data is critical to empower each member of your team to measure their work, find what's working and what's not, and jump on opportunities to help the business grow."
Often times, the data presented in reporting meetings are accessible to a select few–executives and/or members of the leadership team.
Individual contributors, the ones with a desperate need to see how their work is influencing the bigger picture, are often left out of these meetings altogether, or, they're left with spreadsheets and/or slide decks to comb through in order to find relevant information.
Aside from logging into the actual tools themselves, there's no easy way for managers and individual contributors to quickly gauge how their work is performing and how that influences the company and its goals.
Consequently, the vast majority of people doing the work within your company aren't sure how to improve the work they're doing.
Editor's note: Tired of logging into multiple tools to pull data in one place, to build a report? Marketing reporting software can save you several steps and you sort all metrics that you need in the report in one single tool.
Reason #3: They're vulnerable to spin
You can spin data any way you'd like.
This is a common refrain against marketers that rely on data in order to make decisions. And you know what? It's accurate.
Spin happens when the people responsible for the number, not necessarily the work, are the only ones with a voice in a reporting meeting. (This goes back to our point on accessibility across your whole team.)
But, when the data is accessible to everyone, so too are everyone's insights and points-of-view.
Reason #4: They're prone to error
Most reporting meetings are not spent analyzing trends and making timely adjustments. No, most of the meeting is spent explaining and validating the actual data itself.
(I mean, if a reporting meeting takes place and no one is around to question the data being presented, did the meeting really take place?)
"How did you get that?"
"Do these numbers account for [X]?"
"What's our definition of [insert funnel metric] again?"
(All questions that should be answered prior to a reporting meeting, I might add. But, again, when your team's cadence for reviewing and improving performance is set to monthly, these things happen.)
"At any point when the data is questioned–then it's over," says Andrea Lechner-Becker, CMO at LeadMD. "Especially in a cross-functional forum. There must be fundamental trust in the data being presented and that trust needs to be built in detail outside the "reporting" meeting."
But, how can a manual process that includes pulling data from dozens of sources, manually copying that data into spreadsheets, and finally, visualizing that data in a slide deck, ever be free of error, and as a result, gain the level of trust necessary for having productive conversations?
"We would literally come in on the first business day of the month and spend the entire day pulling numbers and putting them into spreadsheets," says Kelsey Meyer of Blue Frog Marketing. "It would literally take up our entire day and then end up sometimes not even being right. It was a mess, it was very, very stressful."
In order to build and maintain trust, two things need to happen:
Align all of your data in one place. Stop relying on the manual excavation in order to provide everyone with the insights they need to do great work.
Make that data accessible to everyone in real time. Familiarity breeds trust, but it also allows everyone to provide valuable context as to why things are happening. For people to trust the data, everyone needs a voice.
"The data itself shouldn't be a surprise to anyone in the meeting," said Remington Begg, founder of Impulse Creative.
Reason #5: They don't teach analysis
As I mentioned earlier, monthly reporting sets a cadence throughout the whole company of only measuring performance once a month.
This negatively impacts the whole team, as they're not developing the habit and skill of proactively connecting the dots between the work and the results.
Instead, these bloated, high-level reports are shared at the end of the month when, once again, it's already too late for your team to double down on something that's working.
If they're not trained to be looking for these things as they happen, your team is far less likely to have the ability to make adjustments that create an impact when it matters most––right now.
By being more proactive and giving your team the tools they need to better understand the significance of different activities, you'll be able to build a more data-driven and autonomous team.
If not reporting, then what?
Reporting meetings serve a purpose that no longer really exists–one where performance data wasn't available in real time.
So, how can you act on the right data when it matters most?
How can you make that data more accessible to your team in order to empower great work?
How can you meet the real-time expectations of your team, bosses, and/or clients?
Align, Analyze, Adjust: A new framework
Today, we have access to more data than ever before, but we still don't know how to use it.
Why? Because the data isn't accessible to most people within your company. And it's not actionable. (For many of the reasons mentioned throughout this article.)
In order to compensate, most companies have a monthly reporting meeting that no one wants to attend and where nothing changes.
We think there's a better format. So, we started with a simple framework:
Align: Make the data accessible to everyone on your team by bringing it together in one place and aligning everyone on the right goals and KPIs to track progress toward them.
Analyze: As we discussed earlier, performance data is available (and thanks to step 1, now it's accessible) to everyone in real time. That's also when analysis, context, and correlation should be shared with others.
Adjust: No more waiting until the end of the month or quarter to understand performance and make adjustments. When your team has access to, and is analyzing, performance data as things happen, you can make adjustments when they matter most–right now.
We'll be publishing more on this framework very soon, but for now, watch as my colleague Tory Sher outlines effective ways for ditching reactive reporting.

New Vatican press office director
VATICAN (CNS): Pope Francis appointed Matteo Bruni director of the Holy See Press Office, it was announced on July 18. He takes over from Alessandro Gisotti who has been the interim director since December 31.
The 42-year-old Bruni has worked as assistant to the director since 2013, helping to organize and coordinate media presence and pools on papal trips.
Born in Winchester, England, Bruni began working at the Vatican press office in 2009, coordinating accreditation for journalists. In 2016, during the Year of Mercy, he was appointed coordinator of media operations for the Jubilee Year events.
According to the Vatican, he also helps Church-run projects dealing with "humanitarian cooperation and support programmes for the elderly."
In an interview with Vatican News on July 18, Bruni said he was honoured by the appointment and saw it as a "sign of esteem not only for me as an individual, but also my history and work alongside my colleagues at the Holy See Press Office."
He said, "The press office is not a large structure, but a complex one. I believe that knowing it from the inside can be useful in order to more deeply carry out the reform of the dicastery itself."
The Vatican also announced that the pope appointed Gisotti and Sergio Centofanti, an Italian journalist at Vatican News, deputy editorial directors of the Dicastery for Communications. Both will work with Andrea Tornielli, the dicastery's editorial director.
Bruni thanked Gisotti, whom he called "a colleague and a friend" and praised him for his "availability, professionalism and great human sensibility." He also thanked former press director, Greg Burke, and vice director, Paloma Garcia Ovejero, for their work leading the press office.
Burke and Garcia stepped down in December leading the pope to appoint Gisotti—who had been working as coordinator of social media at the Vatican Dicastery for Communication—to temporarily lead the press office.
In a statement published shortly after the announcement, Gisotti congratulated Bruni on his appointment and offered him "my best wishes for success. I am sure that Matteo Bruni will know how to manage the extraordinary team here at the press office in the best way possible."
He also expressed his gratitude to Pope Francis for "the privilege he gave me in being his spokesperson" and "for his fatherly support."
Gisotti said, "Even though filled with events, this time permitted a reorganisation of the Press Office based on a common commitment with the prefect, Paolo Ruffini, taken up six months ago." Gisotti said.
In a statement, Ruffini, who appointed prefect of the dicastery in July 2017, praised Gisotti for taking over the role of interim director, despite the "limited time available and a busy schedule of important appointments that required the greatest effort of communication."
Ruffini also said Bruni "knows the machine perfectly" and that his appointment is "another important step forward in defining the structure of the Dicastery for Communication."
While the management of the press office will be complete once the Pope Francis appoints a vice director, Ruffini said he was confident in Bruni whose "human and professional skills have been appreciated over the years."
He said, "I am sure that Matteo Bruni will be able to guide (the press office) with competence and wisdom, far-sightedness and team spirit, contributing to its final structure with the objective of providing the best possible service to accurate information."

But If Everybody's Watching, You Know, All Of The Back Room Discussions And The Deals, You Know, Then People Get A Little Nervous, To Say The Least. So, You Need Both A Public And A Private Position.
As things heat up, it becomes even more necessary to separate your Alt-Right identity from your real life identity. Whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton win will determine whether it will be to simply avoid major annoyances or to prevent yourself from being jailed for "hate speech". Either way it is needful to adopt a cloak for yourself. It is this cloak that will let you selectively control who knows your Alt-Right views. If you have become a major Alt-Right figure, like Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor, or Matt Forney, then you might as well publicly embrace the label; your time of hiding it has passed. Otherwise, I would keep a lid on the most politically incorrect observations until the Overton Window shifts more to the right and they become tolerable to the general public once again.
The first step to making this cloak is to bury any Alt-Right views that you have let slip out to the wrong people. Change or delete all online indicators of your views that are tied to your real identity and instead create a pseudonym that is completely removed from your name. Change your Facebook info, delete posts about the Alt-Right, race realism, or nationalism, and do your best to cover up any tracks that you have left behind. The end result should be a sanitized online footprint that should appear normal to any Hillary-supporting HR catlady.
The second step is to adopt a front ideology that you will espouse when people start talking about politics. It must be politically acceptable to the normies and not threatening to the elites who will want to crack down and censor you. The most obvious and usually best solution is to readopt your old political views that you had before becoming Alt-Right. You had arguments, talking-points, and rhetorical points that you used back then, dust them off and begin using them again, only this time as a cover to conceal the ugly parts of the truth that you now know. If you are publicly adopting a completely new ideology, than you need to do some research into what you are supposed to be believing. You don't need that much, most people have a very shallow view of politics, but it needs to be enough to overcome questions and challenges that the most hardened enemies of the Alt-Right might use to put you in that box and demonize you. Start posting the memes, quips, and the tired and flawed arguments you used to post. If you have publicly come out as Alt-Right then don't come out and say that you are now X, but if someone asks you or says you are Alt-Right then distance yourself from the movement. Saying that you don't like how radical it is becoming, claiming that the white supremacists are taking it over, or something like that should convince people that you are no longer with our movement.
Third, even with the new public views you need to have a large amount of apathy. If someone wants to pick a fight with you about something, don't argue based on your newfound talking points, dismiss them by saying you don't care or that it doesn't matter. If you are a rabid Donald Trump supporter (as you should be), complain about having to choose between either candidate whenever someone asks you about them. Talk about reluctantly leaning towards Trump because he won't start a war with Russia (true), or because we need to stop criminals coming in from Mexico and only let in the poor immigrants who just want to work (half-true), or because he might help the economy (true). Accentuate how much of a gamble electing him would be, but say that because of how messed up the country is in it's worth rolling the dice. Being apathetic should keep any hard questions from coming up and make you blend in with all the other apathetic normies around you.
Fourth, you need to figure out who you can trust and who you can't. I only reveal my Alt-Right views and activism to close immediate family who are sympathetic to them. Don't trust anyone who espouses feminism, socialism, communism, or are strong leftists, even if you think they are trustworthy. They will sell you out for their beliefs in spite of what you think they will do. If someone seems receptive to the truth (excluding those in the above categories), subtly drop some simple red-pills and see how they take it. If they react favorably, drop some stronger red-pills. If they react against the truth, backtrack a bit and don't do it again for a while. Brainwashing is often strong and politically incorrect truth is reacted against based on emotions, not reason. You can't reason someone out of what wasn't based in reason in the first place.
We in the broad-based Alt-Right will be the driving force behind rebuilding civilization, but most people aren't ready for us yet. The hopelessly corrupt have yet to be destroyed and they still wield much of the power. Keep your head down and keep working behind the scenes. Don't let your zeal for change destroy you when you could have done it a bit slower and quieter and have gotten to enjoy the fruits of your labor after it is done. Put on a cloak and work for a better life, a strong civilization, and the truth including the ugly parts.
Keep strong, and keep the faith.


NEMO Equipment, Inc. was started in 2002 with the intention of bringing high-level design and engineering to the outdoor industry. With its headquarters strategically located near the White Mountain Region, RISD and MIT, NEMO leverages the resources around it to create innovative and high quality equipment for outdoor adventure and survival. Despite being a relatively young company, NEMO has already experienced success with products such as Losi 3P tent. The Losi 3P is a three-season, freestanding tent for backpacking or car camping with friends. If you are familiar with its equally popular predecessor, the Losi 2P, the Losi 3P is a slightly larger (and subsequently heavier) version of the same design. Like the original, the Losi 3P has a unique pole construction that enhances the stability of the tent, as well as increases the vertical slope of the walls to create a more open and spacious interior. It has fifty square feet of sleeping space that will fit three people comfortably, and it has twenty-four square feet of vestibule space for storing gear or even cooking if the weather is bad. In terms of ventilation, the Losi 3P has a full mesh inner tent that can be used by itself on summer nights, or it has a durable, waterproof fly with opposing and adjustable door vents for use in cooler or wet conditions. The interior of the Losi 3P includes a removable Gear Caddy with multiple pockets for organizing essential items. The Gear Caddy also has a LightPocket™ that holds your headlamp and has a diffusing fabric to provide even lighting in the tent. The Losi 3P offers as much space and comfort possible for three people in this weight category.
The NEMO Losi 3P retails for around $450 and can be purchased on NEMOequipment.com or on other online retailers like REI.com, EMS.com or Backcountry.com.
We give Nemo's Losi 3P an A- because it is an incredibly spacious, comfortable tent with ample storage. We really like that it is quick and easy to pitch and that it offers some cool features like the Gear Caddy and LightPocket™. We had to deduct a few points because it is heavier than other 3-person tents and some customers felt it was difficult to break down.
Car camping or backpacking with friends in three seasons.
The dimensions of the tent are 91" x 79" x 48" (L x W x H). As mentioned, the sleeping room is 50 ft2, and there are two, 12 ft2 vestibules for additional storage on either side of the tent. It has a packed size of 22" x 6.5". Its minimum weight is 5 lb 15 oz, and its packed weight is 6 lb 13 oz.
The lightweight frame provides a more spacious interior with 4 Aluminum DAC NSL Featherlite poles positioned to make the walls more vertical. The floor, rainfly and vestibule fabric are all silicone and polyurethane-coated nylon, and the inner tent fabric is no-see-um mesh. It is fully seam taped and waterproof.
The inner tent is black mesh with a grey nylon bottom. The outer fly is lime green.
It has 2 doors on either side of the tent that are covered by vestibules in case of bad weather.
It\'s floor is made from silicone and polyurethane-coated nylon (5000 mm) and features a high bathtub style design that offers more protection from ground water.
The Losi 3P is quick and easy to set up because it uses the DAC® Jake\'s Feet corner anchor system. Basically, there are ball and socket attachments that lock in the main poles and then act as levers to keep the tent corners grounded while the rainfly is pulled over the top of the tent. It is easy enough for one person to do alone. DAC® J-Stakes are also available if extra stability is required in windy conditions.
In addition to the two vestibules mentioned, there is also a Gear Loft available (sold separately). The tent does come with a Gear Caddy, which is a multi-pocket organizer panel.
In wet conditions, the fly can be opened on both ends for cross ventilation. In warm, dry conditions, you can remove the outer fly and just use the mesh inner tent.
Footprint, Pawprint™ (a soft lining that helps sleeping pads stay in place) and Gear Loft. All sold separately.
The NEMO Losi 3P has received very positive online reviews from customers. It got a 4.3/5 on REI.com (47 reviews), a 4.5/5 on EMS.com (8 reviews) and a 4/5 on Trailspace.com (7 reviews). In addition to positive customer reviews, Outside Magazine recognized it with its "Gear of the Year" award in 2009, and Backpacker's Magazine called it the "Best All Around Three Person Tent" in 2009. While its not the lightest tent in its category for backpacking, customers didn't seem to mind given the overall comfort of the tent for 3 people and the fact that you can share the weight on the trail with your partner(s). Additionally, the convenience of two doors and ample storage space in the Losi 3P cannot be overlooked, especially when you are camping with friends or family. Overall, the Losi 3P is an excellent buy with all the comfort and versatility needed in a three-season, three-person tent.
