Tablet Sales Decline Worldwide, Apple Still Leads
(Photo: Robert Scoble, Creative Commons)
The worldwide market for tablets has slipped this year, according to the market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC). However, detachable tablets are becoming more popular than ever.
The drop in tablet sales in the first quarter of 2016 is due in part to first-quarter seasonality, but also a customer base that is "unenthused" about tablets, the report says.
Worldwide tablet sales fell 14.7%, to only 39.6 million units, for the first quarter of this year. Tablet sales have been declining since their peak in the fourth quarter of 2013 when 78.6 million units were sold.
According to Mark Hachman of PC World, Apple is still the most popular tablet manufacturer, with Samsung in second place, Amazon in third, Lenovo in fourth, and Huawei in fifth. Almost all of them are experiencing a decline in sales.
Sales of Apple tablets, including the iPad and the iPad Pro, fell 18.8% this quarter from the first quarter of 2015. The popular tech company's market share of tablets dropped from 27.2% in the first quarter of 2015 to 25.9% in the first quarter of this year.
Samsung had a 28.1% decline in year-over-year growth. Amazon had amazing yearly growth because the price of its Fire tablets dropped as low as $50, but also it must be considered that last year, the IDC didn't count their newly-released 6-inch tablet because of its stipulations on what is considered a tablet.
Detachable tablets, however — touch-screen devices that include removable keyboards — have sold 4.9 million units, an all-time high for first quarters. The sales have grown by triple digits year-over-year. They are expected to replace laptops as the first choice in mobile computer technology, as some feel that they more effectively bridge the gap between smart phones and PCs.
Jitesh Ubrani, the senior research analyst of the IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Device Trackers, said:
With the PC industry in decline, the detachable market stands to benefit as consumers and enterprises seek to replace their aging PCs with detachables. Apple's recent foray into this segment has garnered them an impressive lead in the short term, although continued long-term success may prove challenging as a higher entry price point staves off consumers, and iOS has yet to prove its enterprise-readiness, leaving plenty of room for Microsoft and their hardware partners to reestablish themselves.
The detachable market has grown in variety this year as smartphone vendors like Samsung and Huawei have released their versions of the technology. However, Richard Chang of Campus Technology predicts that these mid-range devices may not be as popular, as those seeking performance will go for high-end devices like Microsoft Surface and others may seek lower-priced devices from other vendors.
Others disagree, and consider mobile-first vendors to be experts on mobile technology, with tablets as a natural next step for the companies. The Economic Times quoted Jean Phillippe Bouchard, research director of tablets at IDC, said in a prepared statement:
Their understanding of the mobile ecosystem and the volume achieved on their smartphone product lines will allow them to aggressively compete for this new computing segment.
However, "slate" tablets (those without a detachable keyboard) still make up 87.6% of all tablet shipments.

Farms Feed Food Banks to Fight Hunger
VCU CNS | May 15, 2019
Topics: Agriculture Improvement Act, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Feed More, Feeding America, food banks, food insecurity, gentrification, Healthy Harvest Food Bank, Kroger Community Kitchen Garden, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, US Department of Agriculture
Today, many contributions to food banks are not rejects from retail but fresh-picked from local farms. The farm-to-food-bank movement is helping fight hunger in Virginia, where 10% of the population is food-insecure.
Lettuce, turnips and beets — oh my! Vegetables and flowers sprout side by side in a bountiful garden in Northside Richmond. But the harvest is not going to a grocery store or market stand. Instead, all of the crops will be donated to local food banks so low-income communities have access to fresh foods.
The Kroger Community Kitchen Garden, situated within Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, is a major contributor to Feed More, the parent organization for food banks and other agencies fighting hunger in 34 counties and cities in Central Virginia.
In the past, food banks relied on nonperishable donations from supermarkets and other businesses. Today, many of the contributions are not rejects from retail but fresh picked from local farms.
Farm-to-food-bank programs bring healthier options to people facing "food insecurity" — living without means or access to nutritious food. Such programs also offer producers an alternative market for the fruit and vegetables they have grown.
A national organization called Feeding America partners with food banks across the state, including Feed More in Richmond and the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank in Charlottesville, to create a network of hunger relief. Annie Andrews, director of operations at Feed More, said the movement has redefined the support food banks can provide for struggling communities.
"Ten, 15 years ago, food banks were reliant on shelf stable product; you looked at it as a pantry. We've absolutely converted to fresh and perishable food," Andrews said.
The need for food is not solved by a corner store that sells chips and hot dogs. Farm-to-food-bank programs aim to supply better quality food that doesn't just fill hungry bellies but also provides nutrition to prevent health problems.
Last year, Feed More received nearly $45 million in donated food — almost 30 million pounds of groceries. While retailers contributed more than 60%, about 12% came directly from growers. Produce accounted for 29% of all donated food.
Greg Knight, food sourcing manager for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, said most people who rely on food banks are not unemployed but rather underemployed. Often, they must choose between which basic needs they can afford, he said.
"We hear from clients that sometimes they have to make decisions between 'Is it going to be gasoline today, or will it be groceries? Will it be the medication that my son or daughter needs, or will it be groceries or the electric bill?'" Knight said.
"There's not enough funds to cover the immediate basic needs — so that's where we step in. At least we can provide a good supplemental box of food that will then be nutritious and alleviate some of the other pressures."
The state and federal governments have encouraged farmers to help out.
In 2016, Virginia instituted a tax credit as an incentive for farmers to donate crops to regional, nonprofit food banks. In exchange for the donation, farmers receive a 30% tax credit equal to the market value up to $5,000 yearly.
Knight said the tax credit is a great way to support farmers and provide food for those in need.
"What I'm paying for the box is only a portion of what the farmer would get at market. So he can take the difference between the two — market price and what I'm paying — and that difference then becomes a donation for him," Knight said.
On the national level, Congress passed the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to allocate $867 billion in subsidies over the next 10 years to support farmers harmed by fluctuating markets or poor harvests. The food purchased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture from farmers is often resold to food banks like Feed More at a reduced cost.
Community plants seeds for change
The USDA reported that since 2012, about 10% of households in Virginia qualified as "food insecure." Andrews said the definition of that term is constantly evolving and varies by area.
In a densely populated urban area, she said, it means "there are no grocery stores within a mile." But in a rural area, food insecurity (or a "food desert") means "there's not a grocery store within 10 miles," Andrews added.
"The gentrification of cities coming into play and people moving into the suburbs — that's where you're kind of pushing some of that working poor out," Andrews said. She said Feed More is seeing a rising need for help in the suburbs — "what you wouldn't think of as a food insecurity area."
The Kroger Community Kitchen Garden at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and Shalom Farms in Midlothian are among the biggest farm donors to Feed More.
Laurel Matthew, senior horticulturist at Lewis Ginter, oversees the community garden and decides what to grow in collaboration with Feed More.
"We have six varieties of summer squash. We have four varieties of eggplant. Lettuce, beans, peas, you name it — we're trying to get it in the ground," Matthew said.
The Kroger Community Kitchen Garden is an urban gardening program that has harvested and donated over 50,000 pounds of produce to Feed More since it began in 2009.
The community garden is one-third acre, funded in part by Kroger Mid-Atlantic under the company's "Zero Hunger | Zero Waste" initiative. A volunteer base of 700 worked last year with on-staff horticulturalists to practice organic management of the garden and sustain a healthy harvest for the food bank.
Food banks tackle food-related health disparities
Feed More's agency network involves almost 300 nonprofit organizations such as soup kitchens and emergency shelters. Healthy Harvest Food Bank joined the network in 2010 and last year became Feed More's first Partner Distribution Organization, which aims to distribute food across 24 of Virginia's rural agencies. The agency network distributed 19.3 million pounds of food during the past fiscal year.
Healthy Harvest Food Bank serves 12,000 people every month through 25 locations across six counties. In 2012, the food bank conducted a survey and found that 32% of its clients had diabetes.
The food bank partnered with Northern Neck-Middlesex Free Health Clinic and Virginia Cooperative Extension to begin a Healthy Food Pharmacy to teach clients with Type 2 diabetes how to prepare flavorful, nutritious meals to combat health issues. Participants in the eight-week class on average lowered their blood pressure by 17% and low-density lipoproteins cholesterol by 26%. (LDL is considered "bad" cholesterol because of its artery-clogging properties.)
Mark Kleinschmidt, president and CEO of Healthy Harvest Food Bank, said the Northern Neck and Upper Middle Peninsula region suffers from a culture of genetics and a lack of resources to escape the health crisis trap.
"We got a Food Lion and a Walmart, and there's not that healthy options to eat at whatsoever," Kleinschmidt said.
He said people want to eat healthy foods but often can't.
"For one, it's not available. And two, it's a cost issue," Kleinschmidt said. "I think there is always going to be this issue. The Northern Neck will never be big enough to have a Kroger or a Harris Teeter or a Wegman that does have healthier options."
Legislation to create the Virginia Grocery Investment Program and Fund was introduced to the General Assembly this session. It aimed to provide financial incentives for grocery stores to expand in food deserts.
After passing unanimously in the Senate, the bill died in the House of Delegates. A similar House bill was killed in a House subcommittee early in the session.
Food banks rescue food from waste
According to the USDA, 30-40% of food is wasted in the U.S. annually. Grocery chains such as Lidl have joined the movement against food waste by selling 10-pound crates of "ugly" produce for $2. Food banks are incorporating the "ugly food" movement into their means of sourcing quality food for people living in food insecure areas.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative was created by Feeding America and stretches from New England to Virginia, providing nearly 1.5 million pounds of produce to food banks each month. The cooperative works to minimize food waste by purchasing "ugly," rejected food at a large produce market. That produce is then sold back to a network of 23 food banks, including Feed More, for a reduced price.
Andrews said the rescued, unsold produce purchased from large companies along the East Coast saves the stores money, reduces food waste and increases food bank access to resources.
"We offer the opportunity for [grocery stores] not to have an increased trash bill and to be able to do something good with the things that they aren't able to use and sell," Andrews said.

Call For Entries | 2018 Ingrid Jonker Prize For English Poetry
Publishers or self-published poets in South Africa are invited to submit three copies of any English poetry debut published in 2016 or 2017 for the 2018 edition of Ingrid Jonker poetry Prize.
The Ingrid Jonker Prize is awarded in alternate years to the best debut collections in English or Afrikaans. The winner receives a cash prize dependant on the interest accumulated in an account originally established for this purpose.
Closing Date for Submission:
The closing date for submission of entries is Wednesday 31st January, 2018.
Entries should be accompanied by a cover letter with the contact details of the publisher and poet, as well as a declaration that the submission is the poet's first collection of poetry published with an ISBN.
General rules and regulations
During her "second funeral" in July 1965, friends of the young and beloved poet Ingrid Jonker decided to honour her memory with a prize for debut poets. Writers and friends contributed money, and a publisher and writers donated all income from the books In Memoriam, Ingrid Jonker and Die Sestigers. Thus was the Ingrid Jonker prize instituted.
The prize is awarded alternately for a debut volume of poetry in English and a debut volume of poetry in Afrikaans, the two languages in which Ingrid Jonker wrote. The prize can only be awarded to a volume with an ISBN published within the two years before the year of adjudication. In other words, only debuts published in 2016 and 2017 will be eligible for the 2018 Ingrid Jonker prize for Afrikaans Poetry.
No joint awards of the prize will be made and a poet can only be eligible for the award once.
Only first volumes of poetry published by a South African publisher will be considered.
Only poets who have South African citizenship, or poets who are based in South Africa and have either permanent residency or refugee status, will be eligible for the Ingrid Jonker prize.
A poet who has already published a volume of poetry in Afrikaans may not then submit a collection in English, and vice versa. Translations will not be eligible for the prize either. If, however, a writer has already published in other genres (prose or drama), and then publishes a first English or Afrikaans volume of poetry, he/she will be eligible for the Ingrid Jonker prize.
A volume that contains poems/texts in English and Afrikaans may be submitted. However, in such a case the publisher will have to decide whether the book is submitted for the English or Afrikaans award – a volume of poetry may be submitted once only.
A bilingual committee of five members (consisting of published poets writing in English and Afrikaans) meets whenever necessary. At least two of the five members should be English and two Afrikaans.
If a member of the committee resigns, the committee appoints another member. All the members of the committee have to be published poets.
The committee appoints three judges. All the judges have to be published poets as well – the Ingrid Jonker prize is an award made by poets to poets.
All submissions for the prize are given gratis by the relevant publishers. Three copies of each book must be submitted.
The adjudication takes place as early as possible after all the submissions have been received.
Each judge selects the three best volumes. Five points are awarded to the first choice, 3 points to the second choice and 1 point to the third choice.
Every judge must submit a brief report on the volume he or she selected as a winner.
The debut with the greatest number of points is declared the winner.
Up until the stage where the judges submit their points, the adjudication is done confidentially and individually. The judges are not allowed to have any discussions before their points have been awarded.
In the unlikely event of a tie, the judges will be asked to vote between the two tied works.
If the works are not considered of high enough standard by the majority of judges (i.e. at least by two of the three), the prize will not be awarded.
If only one book is submitted, three judges will still be appointed. If the majority of judges decide the volume is of sufficient merit, the prize will be awarded.
The prize consists of a medal by the sculptor Bill Davis and the interest on the investment. The invested amount may be increased through donations at any time, but the prize should maintain its independent status. Sponsorships from institutions wishing to pursue commercial interests with their sponsorship are therefore not desirable.
The prize will be awarded at an appropriate public function.
How to Make Submission:
Entries should be sent for adjudication to:

You will also need a framing square, chalk line, hammer, and goggles. The next thing you'll need are some gloves as well as a shovel.
The next you want to do is determine the type of what you're going to use the most common types of wood art mahogany, Cedar, Pine, and Cypress. Since you came here looking to build your own wood deck I'm going to assume that you are on a budget and if you're on a budget I would not suggest use pine because Pine is absurdly expensive, but what I would recommend is Cedar, it's relatively cheaper and more robust.
Once you determine your type of wood, you'll want to start drilling posts, if you have extra money I would deftly suggest that you rent out a borer, it might such a bad couple hundred dollars but the amount of time it'll save you is huge.
The next thing you want to do is actually fill the holes with cement.
Will you be inviting guests over often? Do you plan on installing a pool, or heck something you should really consider is where you're currently residing. If you're an urban area then perhaps you should build smaller deck whereas if you large area you should build a larger deck. There are many things to consider before you even start your building a deck colorado springs, but this is probably the most important.
Instead of dealing with the hassle of large DIY projects, calling OLeary and Sons will make your deck building process headache free. Call today for a consultation!


After countless hours of public meetings and legislative debate, a bipartisan agreement to fix the state's broken school-funding formula is now on its way to the Governor, according to Senator Jim Oberweis.
Passed by the House on August 28 and by the Senate on August 29, Senate Bill 1947 is a compromise that has some provisions many lawmakers and their constituents support, and other provisions many oppose.
Senate Bill 1947 replaces the state's outdated school-funding formula with a new evidence-based model (EBM) that utilizes data and widely-accepted best practices to determine how to send funding where it is needed most and where it will help the most students. The EBM relies on 27 data sets to determine the actual costs for each school district to provide an adequate education for the students, which is referred to as an adequacy target. Funding is then prioritized to the schools that are the furthest from their adequacy target.
The legislation also includes significant mandate relief for schools to reduce costs, as well as a system to help reduce the burden of skyrocketing property taxes on families. In addition, the bill would help encourage a scholarship program that would offer school choice for low-income students.
Senate Bill 1947 is now headed to Governor Bruce Rauner, who is expected to sign it into law.

Krugle Inc. has announced an update to its search appliance for enterprise software development. The Menlo Park, Calif. company says Version 2.3 of Krugle Enterprise optimizes defect management across related projects and coordinates component development, Krugle said.
Offered as a piece of Intel-based hardware, Krugle Enterprise is installed inside a firewall and pointed at all source code management systems. A library of all source code is created, which is then made searchable from the developer's desktop.
"Developers who are involved in creating software might use this to understand and learn about code that's already been written," said Mel Badgett, Krugle vice president of marketing. Software development organizations can uncover intellectual property contained in source code as well as related information.
Version 2.3 can handle more than 10 billion lines of source code per appliance and has caching and processing methods for duplicate code modules.
Among other improvements is the ability to search for multiple lines of code. "Snippet" search results lists exact and approximate matches, enabling detection of similar code across multiple code branches or releases. Developers could find multiple instances of problem code and perform search-and-replace operations on it.
Also featured is a capability for associating custom data fields with each code file indexed. Users can extend code file search queries with custom qualifiers, such as file identifiers and links to other resources.
The base price of Krugle Enterprise 2.3 is US$12,500 per year; pricing depends on how much code is being managed.

AI Governance Systems: Ontological Explorations in the Canadian Context
R. Blair Frost
Full-text Poster Video
As artificial intelligence systems (AIS) become widely adopted around the world, potential misuses of AIS pose increased risks of social, political, and economic harms. To mitigate those risks and maximize the benefits of AIS adoption, many governments, private sector firms, and multistakeholder groups have created principles, strategies, and frameworks for governing the design, development, deployment, and use of AIS. At the level of nation-states, nationwide governance of AIS is often practiced through a variety of institutional arrangements, including strategic planning initiatives, policy and regulatory instruments, innovation funding mechanisms, global talent recruitment, and cross-sectoral partnerships. These institutional arrangements extend the macro-institutional scope of national AI strategies such as the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy or China's New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan into more granular practices of public administration, assembling a versatile toolkit of governance mechanisms from across multiple departments, levels of government, and economic sectors in order to implement strategies for governing AIS. Collectively, these mechanisms for governing AIS within a particular context such as the context of an individual nation-state compose what I call an AI governance system: a set of entities, relations, and capabilities which integrate AI governance phenomena from across many domains such as policy, regulation, law, ethics, standardization, strategy, innovation, commerce, and management into a shared ontology.
I will present findings from an in-progress research project in which I am developing an archetypical ontology for AI governance systems. So far, the project has involved three phases: a comparative analysis of the AI innovation strategies of Canada and China; a literature review of AI ethics frameworks from several industry, government, and multistakeholder sources; and a meta-theoretical analysis of various theoretical perspectives from the literatures on service science, public governance, and institutional theory. I will synthesize some of the most significant findings from across these three phases into a preliminary ontology of AI governance systems that characterizes AI governance as a tripartite practice of AI innovation governance, AI service governance, and organizational-institutional governance. I will illustrate the ontological similarities and differences between AI innovation systems, AI service systems, and organizational-institutional systems, highlighting how the components of these various system ontologies interconnect as components of a functionally distinct AI governance system. I will also apply this preliminary AI governance system ontology to an analysis of the Canadian AI governance system, describing AI governance in the Canadian context as dependent upon a multicentric network of deliberative actors to implement the institutional changes needed to sustain Canada's leadership in AI research, achieve national AI innovation and talent recruitment goals, expand Canada's AI service ecosystem, and position Canada as a global authority on AI ethics, AI policy, and AI standards. I will describe future directions for this research project, including: the continued refinement of an AI governance system ontology through comparative analyses of additional national, international, and multinational-corporate AI governance systems; extending the ontology into an evaluation framework through an in-depth multi-case study of AI governance practices in organizations of different sizes and in different sectors.

A Tour of Rothco's Industrial Style Office in Dublin
Rothco, an advertising agency that helps brands power their marketing campaigns, recently hired architecture firm ODOS Architects to design their new office in Dublin, Ireland.
"We were engaged by Rothco to provide their new 47,000 sqft office in Smithfield, Dublin 7. The brief required separate distinct open plans of zones for diverse functions within the company and also included social areas, break-out spaces and an all-hands event space, all located within the ground of an existing building. The brief called for a new visual identity for the company's work spaces, drawn from both their own background in multimedia and advertising, as well as the raw energy of the space they were to inhabit. To this end, the material palette was kept raw throughout, with the structural concrete structures left exposed and the floor finish stripped back to the raised steel access floor in the main of central spaces. This industrial rawness is softened by the juxtaposition of the joinery items and furnishings, which provide visual relief and colour to the composition. The principal element of the design is the new portal space, which brings visitors from the reception through to a raised platform that overlooks the main ground floor of the central space. This provides a narrative and a theatrical backdrop for visitors as they move from the external world of the street to the internal world of Rothco, drawn from a visual reference to the world of fashion shows. This raised platform then leads to the new feature staircase which doubles as an 'all-hands space'. Continuing this narrative, each of the spaces throughout has been given a name which relates to a different part of the company's history. This idea of spatial storytelling is manifested visually through the different materials and colours of the individual spaces," said ODOS Architects

The Wasatch Academy of Wine is the oldest wine education company in Utah, opening in 1991. They take all things wine very seriously. From wine education classes to traveling tours, these folks can teach you the ins and outs of wine from region to region.
Rhea Cook, French Wine Scholar (FWS), has been a wine educator for the academy for the past three years. She currently teaches the nine-week, French Wine Scholar course. After working for Mike Knight, owner of Kiler Grove Winery in Salt Lake, Cook decided to take her knowledge and passion of wine a step further and take courses herself from Sheral Schowe, owner of the Wasatch Academy of Wine.
When you attend a wine education course, you get nine weeks of instruction, tutored tastings of wine, a manual, access to an E-Learning online package, and an exam sit upon completion of testing. Classes are once a week for two-and-a-half to three hours, and are typically hosted in comfortable venues such as La Caille Restaurant. Tuition is $950, and food is not included.
In addition, the class learns about the grapes used to make specific wines, including types, where they are grown, and wine pairings with food. Restaurant training and service is another offering by the academy, along with private events and wine dinners.
Wasatch Academy of Wine offers several options for bringing wine into your repertoire. Whether you are a newbie or a wine scholar yourself, there is always more to learn. Schowe will be offering an Italian Wine Scholar class in the fall of 2016 in addition to the French Wine Scholar class.

Waltham, MA-July 14, 2009-According the State of Care IndexTM-a quarterly report presented by Care.com (http://www.care.com/)-released today, child care now consumes 14% of the average family's annual income each year. As Americans begin a seventh consecutive quarter of recession, over half of parents and two-thirds of adults providing care for elderly family members are worried the falling economy will force them to make decisions that negatively impact the quality of their care arrangements.
The survey reports child care costs an average of $12,445 per year for a family with two children. That figure nearly doubles the average annual cost of tuition at a public university-$6,585 a year, according to the College Board. Despite the high cost of child care, the survey found amidst overall economic worries, families are primarily concerned with safety, training and experience of providers when they make care arrangements for their children.
The State of Care Index also reports on the impact of elder care expenses on families contributing to the care arrangements for senor relatives. Over half surveyed (58 percent) say their elderly loved ones do not have enough savings or income to support their own needs and have to rely on assistance from other resources.
And it is even more difficult for the 18 percent of families who are caught in between caring for children and the elderly-the so-called "Sandwich Generation". Households that have the financial burden of supporting their children and providing elder care for loved ones pay $16,457 annually (19 percent of their yearly income) to cover the costs of care providers.
"On top of all the often-reported economic pressures, the State of Care Index shows that families are also faced with a heavy financial burden of child and senior care expenses," says Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Founder and CEO of Care.com. "At a time when the unemployment rate is the highest it's been in 26 years, they're feeling the stress. It's not only the expense of finding high quality, experienced caregivers, but also the inescapable codependency that links care arrangements to employment."
Employment has a huge impact on caregiving and vice versa, as shown in the study's results. Within the past year 82 percent of parents and 64 percent of adults caring for elderly relatives have taken time off from work to solve a "care crisis"-when a child or senior falls ill, a care center closes or work schedules change. Parents especially struggle to balance their caregiving responsibilities with their careers with 85 percent of all changes they made to their child care arrangements coming as the direct result of a change in employment.
Care.com, the premier source of trustworthy care options for families, released of the State of Care IndexTM in cooperation with the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) in July 2009. The first survey of its kind, the Index is a quarterly snapshot of families' attitudes towards caregiving. The inaugural State of Care Index addresses the unique pressures families face from the cost and obligation of providing child care and senior care and how these responsibilities impact their daily lives. To read the full report, please visit www.care.com/stateofcare.
In May 2009, Care.com surveyed a random sample of its nationwide membership base as well as the families in NACCRRA's Child Care Aware Parent Network. The survey was conducted online and received 1,297 responses.
Founded in 2006, Care.com is the largest and fastest growing service used by families to find high-quality caregivers, providing a trusted place to easily connect, share caregiving experiences and get advice. The company addresses the unique lifecycle of care needs that each family goes through: child care, special needs care, tutoring and lessons, senior care, pet care, housekeeping and more. The service helps families find and select the best care possible based on detailed profiles, background checks and references for hundreds of thousands of mom-reviewed providers who seek to share their services. Through its Care.com for Recruiters service, Care.com also enables companies to find high-quality caregiving employees.

Founder of popular South Florida gay website dies after being hit by vehicles
MIAMI — The founder of the popular South Florida gay travel and entertainment website Mark's List died Friday after he was struck by a pickup truck and two other vehicles as he crossed U.S. 1 in the Florida Keys.
By Staff Reports Sunday, November 16, 2014
Mark Haines
Mark Haines, 54, was taking part in a bicycle race called SmartRide from Miami to Key West. The annual event raises funds for AIDS Service Organizations in the state of Florida.
The Miami Herald reported that in announcing Haines' death on the Mark's List website, nephew Matthew Haines said his uncle died "after the best day and the best ride of his life."
Haines, of Fort Lauderdale, launched the popular Mark's List website after moving to South Florida in 2003 to take a job with the Nielsen ratings company.
Bored with gathering statistics, he started hunting around the Internet for things to do, he told South Florida Gay News in 2012. His own appetite for entertainment inspired Mark's List, which grew from free suggestions about events and places to a popular subscription site.
"He had a great passion for digital media," said former publishing parter Bobby Blair. "A real champion of South Florida was taken way too soon."

Shining Knight  () is the name of multiple  fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The original version was created by Creig Flessel and first appeared in Adventure Comics #66 (September 1941).

Fictional character biography

Sir Justin

The original Shining Knight (Sir Justin) debuted during the Golden Age and Modern Age of Comic Books and is a founding member of the Seven Soldiers of Victory.

Gardner Grayle

During DC's "Silver Age" crossover event (not to be confused with the actual Silver Age of Comic Books), Dick Giordano and Geoff Johns created a new Seven Soldiers of Victory to fight an Injustice League that had possessed the bodies of the Justice League of America.

Gardner Grayle, who would later become the Atomic Knight, took an experimental suit of armor and called himself Shining Knight for this one mission. This version of the Seven Soldiers with Batgirl, Deadman, Metamorpho, Blackhawk, Adam Strange and Mento only served in one mission and the Shining Knight armor was destroyed.

Ystina

Ystina is a reimagined character of the original created by Grant Morrison for the Seven Soldiers comic book.

Other versions

Kingdom Come
In the 1996 miniseries Kingdom Come, there is a background character named Shining Knight II. This version is more futuristic than his predecessors and comes with a giant, metal dragon named Dragonknight.

Titans Tomorrow
An older version of Ystina has appeared in Teen Titans (vol. 3) #52 as a member of the Titans Army from the Titans Tomorrow future.

JLA: Another Nail
The Shining Knight and Victory made a brief appearance in Elseworlds' JLA: Another Nail when all time periods meld together.

In other media

 Sir Justin appears in Justice League Unlimited, voiced by Chris Cox.
 Gardner Grayle appears in Black Lightning, portrayed by Boone Platt.
 Sir Justin appears in Stargirl, portrayed by Mark Ashworth.

New report says high-poverty, racially-isolated schools on the rise nationwide
By Billy Ball
In March, we reported on the growing racial divisions in some of North Carolina's largest school districts. It seems the problem is not limited to North Carolina.
A new report from a federal government agency says racially-polarized, economically segregated schools are on the rise nationwide.
As Education Week reported Tuesday, the percentage of schools primarily serving minority students and economically disadvantaged students has spiked in recent years.
The report, authored by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a Congressional investigative office, also found major differences in comparisons of disciplinary measures between low-income, minority schools and their more affluent, predominantly white peer schools.
Indeed, the latter claim is reflected in North Carolina data as well. In March, N.C. Rep. Garland Pierce, a Democrat from Scotland County who chairs the state's Legislative Black Caucus, told Policy Watch that it's a "state of emergency" for black students in North Carolina schools today.
Pierce's comments came after a report from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction marked startlingly high suspension rates for the state's black students.
From Education Week's story on this week's federal report, which covers the academic years between 2000-2001 and 2013-2014:
In addition to highlighting instances where states and districts attempted to address the issue, the report also recommends that the U.S. Department of Education track civil rights data more routinely to highlight disparities between different schools. It also says the U.S. Department of Justice should track data related to open school desegregation cases.
School integration and diversity, and the lack thereof in American public education, have become a more significant part of discussions about education policy and politics recently. President Barack Obama's administration put a priority on economic integration in various parts of its recently proposed federal budget. And Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. has said that making schools more racially diverse and socioeconomically integrated is a powerful way to improve educational outcomes, especially for disadvantaged students.
That's not the only fascinating data from this week's GAO report. The federal agency also pointed to increased racial disparities in the nation's magnet and charter schools.
"An extensive body of research over the past 10 years shows a clear link between schools' socioeconomic (or income) composition and student academic outcomes," the GAO report said.
As Education Week notes, the federal report was timed to coincide with the 62nd anniversary of the Supreme Court's pivotal Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, which found state-imposed segregation in schools to be unconstitutional.

TenEighty at Playlist Live 2014
By TenEighty
TenEighty observes (and occasionally judges) Playlist Live 2014, held at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida, 21st-23rd March, to cast a British light on the American convention.
It's difficult to talk about YouTube gatherings without harking back to their humble beginnings. Those who weren't around in 2007-2009 must be sick of hearing from those who were about how amazing it was. Almost everyone was not only a community member and a fan of other YouTubers, but also a creative themselves. It was a level playing field to not only meet other creators, but also to make new friends; as clichéd as it sounds.
That beast has now changed, as has our community. The overlapping area for the Venn diagram that existed between fan and creative has grown smaller and smaller until we've arrived at the community that we have today, where the gap between YouTuber and consumer has stretched into a canyon. We might have not quite reached Directioner–1D status, but that certainly feels like where we are headed.
Inevitably, this change in demographic has meant an evolution for our gatherings, or conventions as they now seem to be more commonly known. The behemoths of Summer in the City, VidCon and Playlist Live now dominate the social scene for YouTubers and their fans, and nowhere is this shift in the relationships between creators and their fans more prominent. TenEighty was at Playlist Live this March, observing and occasionally judging. We were very aware that this would have provided very different experiences for those who make videos and for those who are there to meet Sam Pepper (other YouTubers are available).
Playlist Live: A Tale of Two Gatherings
If you were a YouTube creator that was invited to the gathering by the organisers, or if you knew the right people, you were given a room in a separate building to the rest of the attendees, quite literally the venue's own ivory tower. The coveted 'hot pink pass' was your key into this world and hoards of fan-girls (and boys, let's not be sexist) circled the building trying to get a glimpse of Grace, Tyler, Troye, or Zoella. If you were one of these privileged few you were shipped around in golf carts between the tower and the venue (a two minute walk away) where you would have been scheduled to take part in your panel or do your meet and greet. If you didn't want to you would have had no need to interact with fans, although you sometimes saw a Marcus Butler taking photos with fans who formed a queue around the pool, to the confusion and annoyance of those guests at the hotel who happened to be staying there and had nothing to do with the event.
You were treated well. Mountain Dew was readily available and the parties in the evening provided enough entertainment to relieve the ennui of being cooped up in your hotel room all day. However, ever-present were the crowds outside the venues that you were ferried to and from. Even at 2am, when the entertainment would come to a close, there were a large number of fans waiting patiently on the other side of the barriers that separated the two worlds – pining for a chance for a photo with Dan and Phil because the queue for their meet and greet was too long. Tears of disappointment were often shed when a young girl's favourite YouTuber sashayed past with little more than a wave and an awkward glance.
Tears were also shed on the privileged side of the fence; when passes were lost and access was delayed or denied, or when a musician's time slot was moved forward at short notice and there was no one to hear them sing when they were hurried onto the stage. Your heart goes out to the organisers having to deal with the bruised egos of creators who are used to being courted by the great and the powerful of the entertainment industry.
On a positive note, the food in the green room was quite good, and on the Saturday night your drink was served in a glass that shone like a glow stick.
A fan of queuing?
If you were at Playlist to meet your favourite protagonists of the slash fiction you've been reading then it seemed like your weekend revolved around queuing, waiting, being shuffled around by security, and more queuing.
The polite patience exhibited by the vast majority of fans at least deserved an equivalent of a Lifescouts badge: "I waited in line for two hours for Joey Graceffa", "I couldn't meet GloZell so had a photo with her mum instead".
Of course there were those who played to the fan-girl stereotype. Stampedes: they were a thing. Love was awkwardly declared several times in the Q&A sessions of panels that were meant to be focusing on 'Cinematography' or 'LGBT Rights'. This was met with uncomfortable responses from the stage and eye rolling in the rest of the audience. There were even a lucky few fans who somehow got their hands on the hot pink passes and decided the best use of this rare resource was to ride up and down the elevator of the ivory tower just in case someone crazy-internet-YouTube-famous chose to not use the stairs. The organisers put an end to this bizarre behaviour by enforcing a 'no loitering' rule in the building.
The following was a genuine exchange TenEighty had with a 14 year old girl waiting at the bottom of the building housing the main talent.
Girl: Do you have Troye Sivan's number?`
TenEighty: No.
Girl: Do you know Troye Sivan?`
TenEighty: No.`
Girl: Well, if you see him inside, can you tell him I'm down here and that I love him?
TenEighty: Sure, but I'm not sure you're his type.
Girl: Yeah, but he's still young, maybe he hasn't made up his mind yet.
TenEighty: *internal face-palm*
Whether or not a fan had a good weekend hinged exclusively on their luck with queues, the kindness of security and creators who allowed meet and greets to continue past their allotted times, and the amount of patience they were able to exhibit.
It's almost a shame that these were the conditions for these young people to have a good time. There were many activities available: live music that was often more good than bad, great talks on wide ranging topics and a general party atmosphere throughout the whole venue, there were some confused wild turkeys wandering around on the Friday. This was a very well put together event, but if feels like these young fans didn't give themselves a chance to experience it.
A third way.
There is a third, often overlooked demographic that was present at Playlist this year. Those who we mentioned at the beginning of the piece, those who were both fans of creators and creators themselves, haven't gone away since the glory days of the late 2000s. They still exist, and occupy the world between the big talent and the fan-girls. These were the attendees who were irked, but understanding when the panel focusing on 'Smaller Channels' had to be quickly moved to another room because a meet and greet over ran. These were the attendees who not only went to see their favourite vlogger-cum-musician perform on one of the stages, but who stuck around for a chance to discover some new talent and then bought their CD at the end of the weekend. TenEighty watched scores of videos from smaller creators like timjimmie, Janaeistall who voices similar grievances: too many fan-girls, not enough community. In many of the videos we watched vloggers were either doubtful or unsure as to whether they would be attending again next year.
This group is the future of our medium. Internet fame fizzles and dies (Boh3m3 anyone?) and fan girls grow up. These young, enthusiastic, small-time creators are those that are going to carry the medium that we love through and past YouTube's fast-approaching ten-year anniversary. These creators that get overlooked by the event organisers, that can't use YouTube's facilities because they haven't yet reached that watershed 10k subscribers mark, have had a bad rap. It is all very well telling them to go out and organise their own meetups on the Southbank of the Thames or in Central Park, but these future trendsetters and money-makers deserve more time and attention than they are getting now.
What does this mean for the future of gatherings? We currently see two models of gathering rolled into one; the 'fan meets creator' and the 'community discusses and celebrates' formats. It seems like these two worlds of YouTube are becoming less and less compatible, and inevitable that in the future we will see a separation of church and state, of fans and community. Only then can the grassroots creators be nurtured and cultivated to take the site into Web 3.0 and beyond, rather than having everyone umbrella-d under the 'fan' label if they have under 1000 subscribers.
It is neither the superfans who buy all the merch and watch all the videos, nor the superstars who get lucky with a viral video and ride that wave as long as they can that are going to be still making videos in ten years' time. The overlap in the Venn diagram, that is where our future lies – it's about time we looked after it.

Jimmy Garoppolo is One of the Most Underrated Players in the NFL
By Wil Leitner Jul 28, 2020
Colin Cowherd: "Mike Sando of The Athletic does this every year. He interviews 50 NFL coaches and they rate 35 quarterbacks – starters and top backups and put them in tiers. Tier 1 is Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Rodgers, Brees, and Deshaun Watson. Tier 2 is Brady, Lamar Jackson, Big Ben, Stafford, Matt Ryan, Wentz, Dak, and Philip Rivers. I'd put Dak in 3, and Philip Rivers I'd absolutely put in Tier 3. Jimmy Garoppolo is in Tier 3 along with Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Kirk Cousins, and Kyler Murray. I'm going to give you stats for Jimmy Garoppolo – A. the first year he started, B. in the toughest division in football, and C. coming off an ACL injury. Wins – tied for first. Completion percentage – tied for fourth. Passing touchdowns – tied for fifth. Fourth quarter comebacks – tied for first. Game-winning drives – tied for fourth. Passer rating – tied for eighth… Why do people not get Jimmy Garoppolo?? My guess is two things. The Niners defense gets the headlines, and with Garoppolo there are no characteristics to grab onto. He's not as big and strong as Cam or Big Ben, he doesn't have Mahomes' arm, Aaron Rodgers' release, or the escability of Lamar, Russell Wilson, or Carson Wentz… Garoppolo outplayed Patrick Mahomes in the first three quarters of the Super Bowl. He may not be a tier 1, but he's mid to upper tier 2, and there's no way he's middle of tier 3." (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd discuss The Athletic's Mike Sando's recent NFL quarterback rankings that categorized 35 QB's into five tiers from best (tier 1) to worst (tier 5).
Colin had a problem with Sando ranking San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the middle of tier 3 with QBs the likes of Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Kirk Cousins, and Kyler Murray.
Check out the video above as Colin argues why Garoppolo should be ranked at the top of tier 2 (Brady, L. Jackson, Big Ben, Stafford, M. Ryan, Wentz) and why he's flying under the radar as one of the most underappreciated players in the league.
