What Makes a Story Newsworthy
Factors Journalists Use to Gauge How Big a Story Is

Do you want to start covering stories as a reporter, maybe as a student working on a school paper or as a citizen journalist writing for a website or blog? Or maybe you've nailed down your first reporting job at a major metropolitan daily paper. How do you decide what is newsworthy? What is worth covering and what isn't?
Over the years editors, reporters and journalism professors have come up with a list of factors or criteria that help journalists decide whether something is newsworthy. They can also help you decide just how newsworthy something is. Generally, the more factors below that can be applied to the event, the more newsworthy it is.
The greater the impact a story has, the more newsworthy it is. Events that have an impact on your readers, that have real consequences for their lives, are bound to be newsworthy.
An obvious example would be the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In how many ways have all of our lives been affected by the events of that day? The greater the impact, the bigger the story.
If you look closely at the stories that make news, many of them have some element of conflict. Whether it's a dispute over banning books at a local school board meeting, bickering over budget legislation in Congress or the ultimate example, war, conflict is almost always newsworthy.
Conflict is newsworthy because as human beings we're naturally interested in it. Think of any book you've ever read or movie you've ever watched—they all had some type of conflict that increased the dramatic volume. Without conflict, there would be no literature or drama. Conflict is what propels the human story.
Imagine two city council meetings. At the first, the council passes its annual budget unanimously with no argument. In the second, there is violent disagreement. Some council members want the budget to provide more city services, while others want a bare-bones budget with tax cuts. The two sides are entrenched in their positions, and the disagreement erupts into a full-scale shouting match.
Which story is more interesting? The second, of course. Why? Conflict. Conflict is so interesting to us as humans that it can even make an otherwise dull-sounding story—the passage of a city budget—into something utterly gripping.
There's an old saying in the news business: If it bleeds, it leads. What that means is that any story involving loss of human life—from a shooting to a terrorist attack—is newsworthy. Likewise, nearly any story that involves property destruction on a large scale—a house fire is a good example—is also newsworthy.
Many stories have both loss of life and property destruction—think of a house fire in which several people perish. Obviously, loss of human life is more important than property destruction, so write the story that way.
Proximity has to do with how close an event is to your readers; this is the basis of newsworthiness for local events. A house fire with several people injured might be big news in your hometown newspaper, but chances are no one will care in the next town over. Likewise, wildfires in California usually make the national news, but clearly, they're a much bigger story for those directly affected.
Are the people involved in your story famous or prominent? If so, the story becomes more newsworthy. If an average person is injured in a car crash, that might not even make the local news. But if the president of the United States is hurt in a car crash, it makes headlines worldwide.
Prominence can apply to anyone who's in the public eye. But it doesn't have to mean someone who's famous worldwide. The mayor of your town probably isn't famous. But they are prominent locally, which means any story involving them will be more newsworthy. This is an example of two news values—prominence and proximity.
In the news business, journalists tend to focus on what's happening today. So events happening now are often more newsworthy than those that happened, say, a week ago. This is where the term "old news" comes from, meaning worthless.
Another factor that relates to timeliness is currency. This involves stories that might not have just happened but instead, have an ongoing interest to your audience. For example, the rise and fall in gas prices have been happening for years, but it's still relevant to your readers, so it has currency.
Another old saying in the news business goes, "When a dog bites a man, no one cares. When the man bites back—now that's a news story." The idea is that any deviation from the normal course of events is novel and thus newsworthy.
Human interest stories tend to be feature stories and often break some of the rules mentioned above. They tend to pull on our heartstrings, looking more at the human condition. You might, for example, see a story about the high-powered bank executive who cashed in early from the high life to live in a cabin and carve wooden figures.

FLORES: Strategic India More Openly Rejects Atlanticism – Indian ties with Russia & Iran in Bloom
EurasiaHeadline NewsIndia
By Joaquin Flores Last updated Oct 8, 2018
Published on: Oct 8, 2018 @ 10:18 – The US has threatened India with sanctions over its agreement to purchase the S-400 system from Russia, and additionally India would be out of line with US policy vis-a-viz Iran based upon its significant increase of Iranian crude purchases over US supplies. The US, realizing they are losing the script on a certain level, and knowing that they cannot 'sanctions' their way into total global isolation, may consider a waiver of sorts for India, insofar as purchasing the S-400 ought to otherwise immediately pre-qualify the subcontinent for sanctions.
India's purchases of US crude oil have fallen by 75% over the past four months as the subcontinent stocks up on Iranian crude.
On October 5th, Putin and Modi met to seal the deal on the purchase of the S-400 system.
Taken together, these move in tandem with a general trend we have accurately forecasted that India's advances as a multipolar world player would see it openly embrace the decline of Atlanticism, without attempting to needlessly sour ties with any Atlanticist country like the US.
It is furthermore not random that these two news events happen concurrently. In short, India is showing that it will have the Russian S-400 no matter what, possible sanctions by the US may be a danger to India, but it shows that it can weather this by affirmatively, thereby improving its bargaining position against the US by purchasing Iranian oil instead. It absolutely intends to take this to the table with the US – one has to show they can do without in order to deal.
PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING OUR WORK VIA PATREON – WE WORK ENTIRELY 100% FREE OF GOVERNMENT OR CORPORATE SPONSORS. OUR COMMITMENT IS TO CITIZEN JOURNALISM AND ANALYSIS, FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT.
Critics of India's foreign policy around its push to have normalized trade relations with Atlanticist powers such as the US or Western Europe do not stand to internal logical consistency, nor do they bear an understanding of international relations as they exist in reality. Russia also wants normalized relations, wants and end to the sanctions regime, and Iran as well was pushing for an end for sanctions and supports and remains committed to the JCPOA. So this is not unique to India – India has only managed, not due to cunning or peculiar genius but rather to its material situation, not to be the focus of isolation, and has played an important role for the US to 'carefully land' its crashing empire in a safe field somewhere, which does not jeopardize peace and stability overall. The US is not going away as a major player, it is simply disappearing as the empire.
It is the US which is trying to show its speculator class that it is doing everything to hold onto its former position as the sole global hegemon, it is not the rest of the world that wants the US to have no relations at all with the rest of the world within the context of the emerging multipolar world reality.
The hard facts are difficult not to notice: US oil shipments to India fell to 84,000 barrels per day (bpd) last month, from a record high of 347,000 bpd in June, the Reuters news agency reported on Friday the 5th, citing information from the traders and shipping intelligence firm, Kpler.
Indian buyers replaced US shipments with purchases of Iranian crude to 502,000 bpd in the same month, up 111,000 bpd over August, which is astonishing, and that came despite false western reports from Reuters previously that India was cutting Iran oil imports.
India is actually the second biggest purchaser of Iranian crude after China overall, which also increased shipments from the Middle Eastern country by 29,000 bpd to 620,000 bpd. According to Kpler, China also cut its US purchases amid an ongoing trade spat with the United States, and has found a replacement market in India. All of this points to very interesting developments, given the importance of energy markets in both determining and reflecting existing dynamics.
That India is increasingly bucking US diktats is evidenced in that the rise comes despite a November 4th deadline established by US President Donald Trump for companies to "wind down" their trade with Iran, as the country is to face sanctions on its energy sector.
The Kpler report separately said that India will furthermore buy a whopping 9 million barrels of Iranian oil in November, telling all that the world's third biggest oil importer would continue to buy crude from Iran despite the US sanctions. The 9 million barrels apparently breaks down this way: Indian Oil Corp will buy 6 million barrels, and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd together will have 3 million barrels, it cited a source with intimate knowledge of the matter.
At the same time, as said, the US is not eager to find itself the one sequestered from the international community, as it continues to fail in its attempts to sanction or isolate one major country after another. China, Turkey, Iran, Russia, India – these are not minor countries, but all regional hegemons, and several such as Russia and China already have extra-regional force projection both historically and presently.
The Indian government "has conveyed to the Trump administration that India is a fit case for a presidential waiver from the provisions of Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CATSA) on Russia and the sanctions on trade with Iran," the Hindustan Times reported on Friday.
Last week, the Iranian foreign minister said India is committed to buying Iranian oil and continuing the two nations' economic cooperation after a meeting with his Indian counterpart.
"Our Indian friends have always been categorical in terms of their intention to continue economic cooperation and (the) import of oil from Iran. And I heard the same statement from my Indian counterpart," he said after meeting his Indian counterpart, Sushma Swaraj, in New York.
Whether or not India will be granted a waver, is at this point secondary to the need for such reportage that India is looking for this and that such a thing is possible, to exist at this time. The threat on the speculation that India would face US sanctions would be itself a problem for some sectors of the Indian economy, and so in an attempt to avoid over-hedging on the part of those sectors.
Indian firms that may hypothetically find harm under US sanctions could cause them to over-hedge, the situation in which these firms set up an offsetting position that exceeds the firm's actual risk. Once the actual relations and channels are established, and the new opportunities are congealed which in turn create new speculative channels, the 'gradual let-down' can be rolled out in such a way that on the balance, there is no capital flight.
But the real signal here is that the US is willing to publicly also disclose that a waiver is possible, this means that it can also not send the wrong signals to the speculative class which dominates the entire US economy, that in its gambit to shore up the empire and force countries to choose Atlanticism over Multipolarity, it will not by way of hubris or over-playing, engender the very multipolarity they presently work against.

Albert Einstein's 5 secrets of success
Filed under Happiness & Success
Einstein was a brilliant physicist whose discoveries changed our understanding of the universe. Einstein was also one of the most admired people of the 20th century. In studying his life, I have found five secrets of his remarkable success:
1.) Work is very important, but you must also take time for relaxation and fun.
"If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z.
X is work.
Y is play.
Z is keep your mouth shut."
Einstein may have said the above quote partially in jest, but regardless, it is filled with a great deal of wisdom. Einstein believed that balance was an important part of success. Yes, work is very important, but so is play. On one occasion, he wrote to a friend:
"I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined."
As a Nobel Prize winning physicist, you may be surprised to know that Einstein took time for relaxation and fun. He loved sailing and even purchased his own sail boat at age 50. He also enjoyed playing the violin.
2.) Live a life of integrity
In addition to hard work and time for relaxation, Einstein believed that good character was essential for true success. By character, Einstein was referring to qualities such as responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness and respect for others.
"Most people say that it is intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character."
"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."
"The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity for life."
3.) Be Persistent- Do Not Give Up In The Face Of Obstacles
Einstein spent years developing and testing his theories. He kept going in spite of set-backs and criticism.
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
"I am thankful to all of those said 'No' to me. It's because of them I did it myself."
"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."
"I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right."
4.) Be Willing To Take Risks
He was not afraid of making a mistake. The important thing to Einstein was that he learned something from it.
"A person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new."
"Every great cause is first championed by an aggressive minority."
"There is only one road to true human greatness: through the school of hard knocks."
5.) Be Creative and Original: Think outside the Box
In order to reach solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems, Einstein relied heavily upon his imagination.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
To stimulate creativity, one must develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition.
6.) Serve and Help Others
Einstein knew he had a responsibility to help others with his time and talents. He strove to make a difference in the lives of others:
"Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives."
"A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment."
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."

You probably know by now, that i'm a sucker for hotspots. So I have a new one to add to the list. This time it's all about PK Bar & Kitchen in Utrecht. My mom and I chose this eatery for some lunch. PK is perfectly situated in the middle of Utrecht.
Continue reading to find out if it's the right place for you!
PK Bar & Kitchen opened their doors last August along the 'Oudegracht' in Utrecht. With three floors there is enough choice, you can go for a cappuccino, lunch, meetings, dinner or just for drinks.
You are welcome here seven days a week and don't forget the youngest among us. PK has a special menu for children and even a separate room for you and the kids so they can enjoy themselves.
Besides all of these benefits, this establishment is also perfect for groups and parties. If this is the case, they also put a package together with snacks and drinks.
In the middle of our shopping day, we wanted to have a nice lunch (no junk food or easy to go snacks). Because of their perfect location, it was clear that we wanted to try to get a table here. When we walked in, it was pretty crowded, so we had to wait for like 5 minutes before our table was ready. That didn't bother us at all.
As you can see there is a industrial look and feel going on around here. Something I love and you see a lot nowadays. They decorated the place with these very cute lamps and plants that completed the look entirely.
Last but not least, their staff is amazing! They are very helpful, friendly, thoughtful and patient. Everything a waitress should be.
My mom ordered the warm ham with mustard mayonnaise (unfortunately I don't have a picture of her dish) and I had the goat cheese out of the oven with serrano ham and honey. Both dishes were very tasty and filling. After our lunch we were ready to continue our day.
Did you like what you saw and would you go there in the future?
Wat een leuke tip! Ik ga af en toe naar Utrecht (ik ben daar geboren en opgegroeid) om lekker te winkelen. Deze hotspot ga ik onthouden!
Dat is ook toevallig. Gezellig is het daar he? Aankomende donderdag komt er nog een hotspot in Utrecht online.
Ziet er goed uit! Leuk met die plantjes aan muur!

I am one of two cofounders of Converge, a startup we founded in 2014 to use physical data from construction sites to close the $1.6T productivity deficit in the industry. In my capacity as CTO I work a lot in both embedded systems and also complex event processing, ML, and cloud-based software development. Unfortunately I do not spend as much of my time programming as I would like these days, but I have been at it since I was a small child, starting with Python and butchering DOS games. These days I have a strong interest in functional programming (it appeals to the mathematician in me), as well as stream processing and distributed systems. I am also increasingly diving into statistics, specifically machine learning as we introduce more intelligence into our platform.
Before founding Converge, I was a star-fancier-in-training at King's College, Cambridge, where I read Natural Sciences, followed by an MSci in Astrophysics.
In the small amount of life one is allowed outside one's startup, I am very interested (and dismayed) by the effect of corporate and state surveillance on society, as well as the effects of the internet on shaping human preferences.

Vermont Business Magazine On January 29th, Lamoille Housing Partnership (LHP,) Lamoille County Planning Commission (LCPC,) and Stowe Land Trust (SLT) hosted a Housing Needs Summit that featured a data report of the Lamoille Valley's housing landscape, and a panelist discussion that identified opportunities and challenges to address the region's housing needs.
A comprehensive data presentation by Doug Kennedy Advisors showed that the study area, Lamoille County and Hardwick, have a shortage of housing. Kennedy authored the "Lamoille Housing Study & Needs Assessment" report published for LHP, LCPC and SLT in 2018. Several key variables that were pinpointed illustrate the study area's housing crunch, such as housing stock, housing availability, vacancy rates, and incomes and wages. The nuances of the data give scope to some deeper factors that influence and affect the study area's housing landscape, such as the discrepancy between housing need and availability, the area's ratio of housing stock and type as it relates to demographics and incomes, income inequality between communities, area demographics that reflect the housing stock needed, as well as projections for the future based on current study data.
A robust panelist discussion followed Kennedy's data presentation, comprised of nine professionals within business, education, healthcare, real estate, development, human service and affordable housing development sectors, as well as representatives from municipalities and State government. "We wanted to gather community leaders to see and to hear the data, understand the housing shortage's effects on different parts of the community, and to engage in finding collaborative solutions," says Lovinsky.
"It was great to see the energy, interest, and expertise gathered in the room that cut across sectors and communities," says Stowe Land Trust Executive Director, Kristen Sharpless. Each panelist shared their takeaways from Kennedy's report, and identified housing opportunities and challenges that they view through the lens of their profession. The housing opportunities identified ranged from strong partnerships between public and private entities, community-based investments in programs to prevent evictions and homelessness, an increase in funding of federal and state subsidies to make housing price points affordable, and renter-centric support systems to connect housing insecure residents with resources to achieve housing affordability. Adversely, many challenges mentioned were directly connected to windows for opportunity; however, additional housing challenges that were identified included exclusionary zoning practices that eliminate housing development for specific populations, out of sync federal housing and economic policies, low availability of subsidies and development tax credits, and continuously rising development costs.
In the spring, LHP, LCPC, and SLT will follow up with a Housing Solutions Summit to reconvene attendees and panelists with the goal of working collaboratively to find actionable solutions and opportunities to the challenges of housing development identified at the Housing Needs Summit. Lovinsky says he feels inspired by "the positive and constructive energy produced by a smart, caring, dedicated group of community leaders who have come together to tackle a pressing community need like housing." He adds, "I'm excited to get them together again to delve into the challenges and opportunities they identified at the Housing Needs Summit. The best change is made with intention." Details will be announced as the Housing Solutions Summit date approaches.
If you did not attend the Housing Needs Summit, a copy of the "Lamoille Housing Needs & Assessment Study" and Doug Kennedy Advisors' Summit presentation is available for download; a recording of January 29th's Housing Needs Summit will also be available online in February, courtesy of Green Mountain Access TV.

Democrats Accuse McConnell of Blocking Zadroga Act
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) answers questions from reporters following the weekly Democratic caucus policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on May 5.Getty Images
Dec. 1, 2015, 10:19 PM UTC / Updated Dec. 1, 2015, 10:19 PM UTC
By Frank Thorp V
Senate Democrats say that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is single-handedly blocking a bill to help 9/11 first responders from being included in the long-term highway bill, which was unveiled today and is expected to pass as soon as this week.
The bill, called the James L. Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act, would reauthorize an expiring health care program for 9/11 first responders permanently, while at the same time reauthorizing a victims compensation fund for five years, aides say.
But aides familiar with the negotiations say that Senator McConnell asked that the highway bill also lift the US ban on oil exports, and when that was not agreed to he stopped the Zadroga Act from being included in the five-year highway legislation.
"I believe that Senator McConnell was using this as a negotiating position—give us something, we'll give you help for the 9/11 rescue workers," Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) told reporters, "And in the end he was the one, Senator Schumer and Gillibrand ticked off every box of every potential opponent, Democrat, Republican, House and Senate, and it all came down to one box at the bottom: Mitch McConnell. He stopped it."
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) says an agreement on the Zadroga Act has been "done for weeks," and that he was "surprised" when he was told it would not be included in the Highway Bill.
"It was done, it's been done for weeks," Reid told reporters, "It was supposed to be in the Highway Bill, quite frankly I was surprised yesterday when I was told by Senator McConnell that it wasn't going to be in the Highway Bill, I was really quite surprised."
"It's not in the bill and I'm disappointed," Reid said, "It's something that these people deserve. And I was told, well, we're going to do it on the Omnibus, and now I was told later in the day that they want to do it on the tax extenders."
But Senator McConnell's office denies the Majority Leader is blocking anything, saying "There's still no final bill to object to," and claiming that Senator Durbin is "misinformed."
"The questions of duration and payfors are still being worked out," McConnell Spokesman Don Stewart told NBC News, "But members on both sides of the aisle and both sides of the building are working on wrapping that up."
Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune (R-SD) said the exclusion of the Zadroga Act from the highway bill was not as a result of "any specific individual that was blocking," but instead said "there were a lot of attempts to add some of these extraneous items to (the highway bill), but I think for the most part conferees try to keep it as much as possible confined to transportation priorities."
"The 9/11 responders issue will be addressed, everybody knows that, it will have a lot of bipartisan support," Thune said.
The bill has the support of former 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart, who was on Capitol Hill in September lobbying members of Congress to reauthorize the programs for 9/11 first responders.
"It's the least the we can do. it's literally the least that we can do," Stewart said at the time of the Zadroga Act, "That they don't have to be insecure about the medicine they are going to need to treat illnesses that have been scientifically shown – doctors here – and studies have shown links to 9/11."
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) told NBC News on Tuesday that the bill is still a priority.
"We have not decided what vehicle it will be or what funding level but it is something we do intend to get done by the end of the year," Ryan said.
There are two components to the legislation. One is to fully fund the healthcare of those workers who served on "The Pile" at Ground Zero. The other is a continuation of the 9/11 victims compensation fund.
A possible compromise would to fully fund the health care and then sunset the compensation fund at some point, which could assuage the concerns of some conservatives worried about the creation of a new entitlement program.

The Forgotten Greatness of Air Hockey
By Amanda Petrusich
I can say with some certainty that the most beautiful sound I know is the wobbly clink of a dinged-up air-hockey puck dropping into goal. Frankly, the whole game is symphonic: the rattle of a copper token as it tumbles down a rickety chute. The whir of the internal fan as it grinds on, shooting puffs of air through a grid of tiny holes, generating that low, levitating cushion, the animating magic of the game. The quickening of your own heartbeat as you bend into a goaltending crouch, clutching a little resin sombrero. The strident whack of first contact.
Fans of air hockey like to lament the game's marginalization, as if air hockey is the vinyl record of arcade fixtures: romantic, and with depth to spare, but too clunky to endure as anything other than a vaguely pleasing artifact.Photograph by Jonno Rattman / Redux
My interest in air hockey was rejuvenated last summer at a joint called FunSpot, a rambling entertainment compound in Laconia, New Hampshire. FunSpot (". . . the spot for fun!") is the largest arcade in the world, and appropriately unmooring. To soothe the nerves, my playing partner and I merged a small flask of whiskey with a twenty-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola, a bit of impromptu mixology that required pilfering two small plastic cups from the dusty summit of the token machine. Had the cups been previously used to hold fistfuls of tokens? Never mind!
Air hockey, like most high-stakes human ventures, is as much a game of mind as one of body. I'm reminded of this now, as we watch hungry young competitors from around the world chase victory at the Summer Olympic Games, in Rio de Janeiro: it is unsportsmanlike, perhaps, but psyching your opponent out is just as crucial as harnessing your own greatness. In air hockey, this means the hope that you might be able to lock your partner in a helpless volley against himself—the singular devastation of many great athletes. Anyone who has ever sauntered up to a table and dropped a little coin has seen something like this happen, or maybe even been a victim of it: for a brief period, the puck makes contact with neither the goal nor your opponent's mallet, but merely ricochets back and forth between your own flailing hands and the far edge of the table. The harder you smack it, the harder and faster it returns to you. This can go on for a disturbing and senseless amount of time. It would be funny if it didn't so handily encapsulate the way we tire ourselves out, trying too hard to get what we want. This is a bitter fatigue. "Never give all the heart," Yeats warns.
Instead, the most efficient place to position your mallet is eight to ten inches directly in front of your goal, where you can head off oncoming shots without the kind of hysterical lunging that might otherwise land you belly down on the table, legs akimbo and abdomen bruised, as if you were attempting to dislodge an errant ort from your windpipe by self-administering the Heimlich maneuver. If your opponent attempts some sneaky, look-at-me move—a rapid bank shot pinging off the left side, say—you can easily zap back to either corner of your goal, efficiently thwarting entry. This is known as the Triangle Defense, and it is essential.
FunSpot has a little air-hockey wing—a fluorescent-lit enclave half-tucked under a staircase. There are three competition-sized tables, wedged together. My companion—an esteemed documentary filmmaker—was nursing a hand injury, somewhat mysteriously sustained the previous week, during a foot race. I thought he was harboring a fatal handicap; I thought surely I was halfway down the road to victory even before our tokens were banked and the puck had fallen out. I lost six out of seven games. I scored on myself several times. I can't in good conscience even blame my tepid cocktail, which sat tableside, unattended. Let's say my technique is evolving.
Air hockey is, in the most basic sense, a delightful amalgamation of billiards and ice hockey. Its 1969 patent cites three men as its creators—Phil Crossman, Bob Kenrick, and Brad Baldwin—all employees of Brunswick Billiards, a maker of pool tables. A fourth man, an ice-hockey enthusiast named Bob Lemieux, is also credited—legend has it that it was Lemieux's insistence that kept the patent from languishing, unused—although the precise details of his involvement are foggy. With Brunswick's backing, thousands of tables were made and installed in arcades, pizza parlors, community-center basements—anywhere with a stretch of faux-wood panelling and a proximate crew of wan, beanpole kids. The game caught on quickly. By 1974, the beloved sportscaster Marv Albert was delivering tense play-by-play narration as thirty-one regional champs jockeyed for a cash prize of five thousand dollars and the undeniably radical title of "Best Air Hockey Player in the World" at the sport's first championship tournament, held in New York City.
By the late nineteen-seventies, the game's popularity had peaked. Technology encroached. Kids were lured away by the siren call of flashy nonsense like Space Invaders and Pac-Man—you know, with their blinking lights and endless beeping and boastful scrolls of High Scores. In 1983, Phil Arnold, now a thirty-eight-year veteran of the game, was ready to disappear completely. "Only thing we players could do would be to buy up a dozen or so of the existing air-hockey tables and go underground. We would be a dying breed isolated from the rest of mankind, growing older, wearing out both body and table in garages and houses—like some despised cult," he later said. The game eventually made a bit of a comeback, thanks, in part, to a tireless hero named Mark Robbins, who convinced Dynamo Corporation, a successful manufacturer of foosball tables, to introduce air hockey into its stable of amusements. But contemporary air-hockey acolytes like to lament the game's marginalization, as if air hockey is the vinyl record of arcade fixtures: romantic, and with depth to spare, but too clunky to endure as anything other than a vaguely pleasing artifact.
I suspect that there are other reasons the game did not endure. Air hockey, like life, requires the relinquishing of certain dignities and, especially, the abandonment of lingering myths about control. If you call up a couple of professional matches on YouTube—plenty of championship games have been archived online, most shot furtively, on cell phones—you will witness a few moments of true virtuosity and a whole lot of what looks like panicked bumbling. The fact is, the puck glides too quickly and effortlessly for players to really track it. An early advertisement for the game admits as much: "Puck actually floats on air—travels faster than the eye can follow." What you hope for, instead, is that, in the act of frantically thwacking the puck away from your slot, you might inadvertently score. But you do not abandon the goal. You never venture your mallet, emboldened and hungry, into the great white airy expanse. Did Icarus teach us nothing? You protect what you can. You defer to the universe.
Back in New York, and still smarting from my FunSpot loss, I went so far as to find an establishment—Brownstone Billiards, on Flatbush Avenue, in Brooklyn—that rents tables by the hour. "AIR HOCKEY?" I texted all my friends. I began frequenting a Canadian-themed bar with an air-hockey table crammed in a nook in the back. (Air hockey is not Canadian, but seems Canadian, like Billy Ray Cyrus or Eggo waffles.) The game there was old, compromised. The puck didn't hover above the board, exactly, but shilly-shallied back and forth. Still, I felt there was more wisdom to be gleaned from the table. I positioned my mallet squarely in front of my goal, no longer seduced by the siren call of offensive action—I'd learned all the hard lessons about thinking you might be entitled to more than you were getting. Hang back; defend yourself. Never give all the heart. In not losing, you win. Worry less about following the puck than about anticipating its inevitable hit. Every once in a while, let yourself imagine, for a moment, what it might feel like to be weightless.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, are collaborating to produce a series of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for dietary supplements. A suite of ephedra materials is the first in the series, and this paper describes the acquisition, preparation, and value assignment of these materials: SRMs 3240 Ephedra sinica Stapf Aerial Parts, 3241 E. sinica Stapf Native Extract, 3242 E. sinica Stapf Commercial Extract, 3243 Ephedra-Containing Solid Oral Dosage Form, and 3244 Ephedra-Containing Protein Powder. Values are assigned for ephedrine alkaloids and toxic elements in all 5 materials. Values are assigned for other analytes (e.g., caffeine, nutrient elements, proximates, etc.) in some of the materials, as appropriate. Materials in this suite of SRMs are intended for use as primary control materials when values are assigned to in-house (secondary) control materials and for validation of analytical methods for the measurement of alkaloids, toxic elements, and, in the case of SRM 3244, nutrients in similar materials.

HomeFlorida woman sues law school, Education Department claiming expulsion for being a Trump supporter
Florida woman sues law school, Education Department claiming expulsion for being a Trump supporter
A former Florida beauty queen sued a law school and the Department of Education for $ million claiming the university expelled her because she supports President Trump.
Christina McLaughlin launched the -page legal complaint Thursday against Florida International University School of Law and the Department of Education. She never failed a class, yet she was dismissed for failing to meet academic standards, she said.
Officials also denied her request to have legal counsel present at a hearing where she contested her dismissal sans prior notice, according to the complaint.
The federal court filing details how one professor told Ms. McLaughlin she was "immoral" for supporting Trump, while another professor performed a skit in front of his classroom, wearing a Make America Great Again hat, pretending to be a Trump supporter by affecting a Southern accent and acting mentally ill.
"It was threatening — not that I felt I was going to be physically attacked — but threatening in that I saw the vitriol toward Trump supporters," Ms. McLaughlin told The Washington Times.
"This complaint is to help protect other students who have had their voice silenced by liberal universities and colleges," said Ms. McLaughlin, , who also is running as a GOP candidate for a House seat in South Florida.
Her lawsuit is the latest in a flurry of allegations of discrimination against conservatives on college campuses.
Earlier this year, lawyers from Alliance Defending Freedom confronted officials at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls after the school attempted to silence a student recruiting people for a conservative club on campus.
Sofie Salmon, who was a freshman at the time, walked around campus last year with friends, rolling a beach ball labeled a "free speech ball" allowing students to write various messages on it. School officials told Ms. Salmon she had to pay for a reserved spot to engage in that sort of activity on campus.
After lawyers intervened, warning school officials about the infringement on First Amendment rights, the school changed its policy. Now students at the college are permitted to engage in "spontaneous expressive activity" without prior permission.
Langhofer has another client from a Florida state college who was removed from a student government position for commenting in a private message that Black Lives Matter — and aligned liberal groups — have messaging that runs contrary to his Catholic faith, such as the church's pro-life teaching.
"It is a nationwide problem," he said. "No doubt we have cases in California, cases in Minnesota, cases in Texas, cases in Florida, Virginia — it is not limited to one area."
Cabot Phillips, editor-in-chief at the conservative news website Campus Reform, said he's covered conservative students being suspended from school, removed from student government, assaulted by peers, and discriminated against for wearing MAGA hats. He said the conduct suggests campuses are no longer a marketplace of ideas.
"Most college campuses have become centers for indoctrination and groupthink, where conservative opinions are snuffed out," he said, adding the problem lingers because teachers and schools are rarely held accountable.
In Ms. McLaughlin's case, she said professors learned about her Republican affiliation from social media photographs after she attended a Trump victory party. She said instructors immediately began treating her differently — including not answering questions she would pose to them after class.
Ms. McLaughlin went on to graduate from another accredited law school in Florida but said her formal complaint filed two years ago about the treatment from FIU went unanswered by the Department of Education. She said she's incurred tuition expenses, lost internships and suffered from attempts at delaying her legal career.
The Department of Education and officials from Florida International University School of Law did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Times.
Since graduating last year from Ave Maria School of Law in Naples, Florida, Ms. McLaughlin has launched a long-shot bid to represent the state's th Congressional District. She's running against more than half a dozen other Republican candidates in the Aug. primary.
She said she's hoping to raise awareness of the indoctrination on college campuses by liberal professors, and help show the Trump administration where the abuse is occurring.
"I'm certainly eager to talk about it and represent the students who have experienced abuse in the classrooms — but win or lose this election — I'm still going to use whatever platform I have to advocate on this issue," she said.

Home Media Altacom fits your life!
Not enough space in the living room? Not enough space at the table for all your guests? The solution to all your problems is Altacom! Furnishing accessories that fits you and your needs!
Born at the end of the 80s, the ALTACOM brand is the direct descendant of the Metacom family company. Since the beginning, Altacom distinguishes itself on a regional and national scale for the production of furnishing accessories, made in function of the management of living spaces. In fact, by attending the modern transformations of the society, and the gradual evolution of living spaces, increasingly reduced, Altacom has started to create furniture that can perfectly adapt to rooms of any size. As the chameleons conform to the color of the external habitat to camouflage or to blend in, Altacom furniture adapts themselves, in terms of sizes, to the spaces in which they are placed, creating a particular sense of harmony and homogeneity in any situation... even in smaller rooms!
Altacom collections present a wide range of different products for the home: transformable coffee tables, extractable and retractable consoles, adjustable height dining tables suitably complemented by modern or minimal style chairs, armchairs and even stools coordinated in materials and finishes.
Altacom has demonstrated, over the years, extraordinary interpretative skills; Altacom's special attention to what is "function" and "multi-function" has allowed the company to firmly position itself in the furniture market, and to be able to continuously offer a wider and more complete range of products, always in renewal and constantly evolving.
The strength and the particularity of Altacom is that the brand comes to life from the Metacom company, a company specialized in the processing of metals at all levels. Altacom, therefore, is a real producer of its furnishing accessories from the beginning to the end of the production process; Altacom has a well-equipped, technologically and very flexible industrial structure that allows to create models in series, but also to adapt to the requests and personal needs of each customer, or perform customizations on products in series for those who request them.
The constant research, the desire for innovation, the passion and the quality of raw materials, are the fundamental points sought by Altacom during the production of each single product. From this comes another fundamental factor for Altacom: the quality-price ratio, one of the best in the business!
Thanks to the long experience gained on the national and international market, the intrinsic qualities of reliability of the company, the ability to adapt to the needs of everyday life, and thanks to the functionality and practicality of its furnishing accessories, Altacom is now a brand which one could not do without. Because Altacom fits your life!

Hellmuth Friedrich von Hobe (* 15. August 1776 in Goldebee; † 5. Juni 1843 in Parchim) war ein deutscher Instanzrichter.

Leben
Hellmuth Friedrich von Hobe war ein jüngerer Sohn des Gutsbesitzers Joachim Friedrich von Hobe († 1784) und dessen Frau Friederike, geb. von Hopfgarten († 1776), die infolge seiner Geburt im Kindbett starb.

Er wurde zunächst von seiner Stiefmutter, einer geb. von Rumohr, aufgezogen und genoss dann eine Pagenerziehung am Braunschweiger Hof. Aus diesem Grunde besuchte er als höhere Schule das Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig. Ab Herbst 1794 studierte er Rechtswissenschaften an der Universität Rostock, der Universität Jena und ab 1797 in Erlangen; um die Jahrhundertwende kehrte er nach Rostock zurück, um sein Studium zu beenden. In Rostock wurde er bereits 1794 Mitglied eines Kränzchens von Vandalen und Mitglied des Studentenordens der Constantisten,  der in Rostock zumindest bis 1832 als Loge fortbestand. Nach dem Studium wurde er 1799 Auditor der Herzoglichen Justizkanzlei Rostock und 1801 Kanzleirat. Er wurde 1806 zum wirklichen Justizrat ernannt. Nach dem Austritt Mecklenburgs aus dem Rheinbund 1813 zog er mit jüngeren studentischen Freiwilligen gemeinsam mit einem frisch gebildeten Korps freiwilliger Jäger in die Befreiungskriege. Am 1. Oktober 1818 wurde von Hobe, nominiert von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Vizepräsident des neu errichteten gemeinsamen Großherzoglich Mecklenburgischen Oberappellationsgerichts in Parchim unter dem Präsidenten Christian von Nettelbladt. Er blieb 1840 beim Umzug des Oberappellationsgerichts nach Rostock in Parchim und verbrachte dort seinen bereits 1837  angetretenen Ruhestand.

Hellmuth Friedrich von Hobe war nicht verheiratet. In seiner gesamten Zeit in Parchim lebte er in einer kleinen 3-Zimmer-Wohnung im Offizialhaus des Präpositus Carl Daniel Hermes (1767–1847), dessen erste Ehefrau wenige Tage nach von Hobe verstarb und neben ihm auf dem Friedhof beigesetzt wurde. Zeit seines Lebens förderte er aus eigenen Geldmitteln freigiebig bedürftige Konfirmanden jährlich am Palmsonntag und gewährte Schülern und Studenten Studienbeihilfen und Stipendien.

Work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) is the term used to describe the worsening of asthma related to work but not the causation of asthma by work. It is common and has been reported to occur for 21.5% of working asthmatics on average. The frequency and severity may range from a single mild exacerbation that may lead to no time lost at work up to daily or severe exacerbations that may require a permanent change in work. Reports from general population surveys and primary care settings include more patients with short-term or mild exacerbations while those from tertiary care settings reflect the more severe end of the spectrum of severity or frequency, with socioeconomic outcomes that are similar to those of occupational asthma. In the minority of patients with the WEA, whose asthma starts while working, the differential diagnosis includes sensitizer-induced or possible irritant-induced occupational asthma. Optimizing work exposures and asthma management may improve outcome and prevent exacerbations. Worker education and screening of working asthmatics by primary health care workers may also prevent morbidity.

Movie set in space is down to earth
Ad Astra explores the complicated dynamic between a father and a son.
Brad Pitt in Ad Astra(Source: Fox)
This review contains spoilers.
"Let me go, son." That's the line that encapsulates the emotional climax of this movie. Those are the words Clifford McBride, an astronaut gone rogue, says to his son Roy, the person in charge of rescuing him from a failed mission within the limits of the solar system. The father, played by Tommy Lee Jones, got there 16 years earlier leading a mission to find intelligent life outside our planet. Roy, played by Brad Pitt, is a major in the U.S. Space Command with an illustrious career in his own right; nevertheless he is constantly compared to his famous father.

"Let me go." As the father says that to his son, viewers are left to wonder what the underlying meaning of these words is. Is this the plea of a man who wants to see his son survive this mission and knows that he needs to sacrifice himself for that? Is it a father giving an order? Roy refuses to let go of his father and they struggle for a few moments.
This scene is shot and edited in a very clever way; the real drama is only evident when there's a closeup of one of the two characters and we see the struggle from up close. When the shot pans out, there's just emptiness surrounding them; it's as if we're being told that the only thing that we are capable of truly understanding and relating to is human emotion. The space around them is just a cold void, hammering the point home that being unable to connect with others is a timeless tragedy, regardless of the setting.

Honolulu (film)
Honolulu (magazine)
Honolulu (/ˌhɒnəˈluːluː/ or /ˌhoʊnəˈluːluː/;Hawaiian pronunciation: [honoˈlulu]) is the state capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It is the county seat of the City and County of Honolulu. Hawaii is a major tourist destination and Honolulu, situated on the island of Oahu, is the main gateway to Hawaii and a major gateway into the United States. The city is also a major hub for international business, military defense, as well as famously being host to a diverse variety of east-west and Pacific culture, cuisine, and traditions.
Honolulu is both the westernmost and the southernmost major American city. For statistical purposes, the U.S. Census Bureau recognizes the approximate area commonly referred to as "City of Honolulu" (not to be confused with the "City and County") as a census county division (CCD). Honolulu is a major financial center of the islands and of the Pacific Ocean. The population of Honolulu CCD was 390,738 at the 2010 census, while the population of the consolidated city and county was 953,207.

Honolulu is an American musical film that was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1939. The film stars dancer Eleanor Powell and Robert Young, and was directed by Edward Buzzell. Also appearing in the film are George Burns, Gracie Allen, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, and Rita Johnson.
Inspired by stories about doppelgängers and identical twins such as The Prince and the Pauper, Honolulu features Young in a dual role as Brooks Mason—a top movie star—and as Hawaiʻi-based businessman George Smith. Mason is tired of being in the public eye, so when he discovers that Smith is close enough to be his twin, he arranges to switch places with Smith temporarily. When Mason steps into Smith's life, he finds himself in a tug-of-war between Smith's fiancée, and a dancer named Dorothy March (Powell), with whom he has fallen in love. Meanwhile, Smith discovers that being a famous movie star is not all that it is made out to be.
Eleanor Powell's dance routines were given a mostly Hawaiian flavor. One of her routines was performed in black face in tribute to Powell's idol, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson. The comedy of Burns and Allen is also featured, although the two actors work separately for much of the movie, their characters only meeting in the final minutes. The film is also notable for offering a somewhat rare cinematic look at pre-World War II Honolulu.

Honolulu is a city magazine covering Honolulu and the Hawaii region. It is a member of the City and Regional Magazine Association (CRMA).
In 1888, when Hawaii was still a monarchy, King Kalākaua commissioned a magazine under royal charter to be Hawaii's ambassador to the world. That magazine was Paradise of the Pacific. For nearly a century, Paradise of the Pacific promoted local business and tourism by assuring citizens of the United States that the Islands were civilized. Noted contributors to Paradise of the Pacific included Henry B. Christian, Helen Thomas Dranga, Arman Manookian, and Edwin North McClellan.
In 1966, Paradise of the Pacific became HONOLULU Magazine. Honolulu shifted its focus to news and features aimed at an affluent residential audience. It covers dining, culture, arts, politics, entertainment in and around Honolulu and throughout Hawaii. Today, Honolulu is among the handful of publications in the U.S. that have chronicled the events of an entire century. It is the oldest magazine in the state of Hawaii.
