Maclean's was the Gold winner in the medium division, judges noting that its video offerings and off-platform social media initiatives helped it stand out among the other contenders.
The large division Gold-winner was CBC News, which—according to the judging panel—displayed exemplary design and innovation in its special projects and multimedia offerings to engage its digital audience. Its digital content shows a deliberate process that complements its journalism.
LEADERSHIP AWARD & EMERGING EXCELLENCE AWARD
This year, women dominated both the Leadership Award and the Emerging Excellence category: Kathy Vey (TVO, Executive Producer of Digital) is the first woman to receive the award, and all three of the Emerging Excellence nominees were women.
Craig Silverman of Buzzfeed introduced Kathy Vey, describing her, and her work, as "the quiet force behind some of the most remarkable and ambitious data journalism and local journalism initiates in Canada over the past decade."
Sofia Misenheimer of Art/iculation was the recipient of the prestigious Emerging Excellence award. When discussing the merits of the applicants, the jury had this to say of Sofia: "She is a driven individual who is only going to continue to make a positive impact through her work in the digital media landscape."
This year, a number of first-time nominated publications won their first Gold and Silver awards, including Art/iculation in Emerging Excellence (Sofia Misenheimer), Magazine web 100 degrés (Marianne Boire, François Grenier, and Françoise Ruby) who won Gold for "Réimaginer nos aménagements," and SooToday (David Helwig) who won Silver for "Bankruptcy protection for Sault's main employer sparks fight over port." The latter two wins took place in the Best News Coverage (Small Newsroom) category.
Air Canada enRoute's "Canada's Best New Restaurants 2018" is a four-time Best Digital Editorial Package nominee, this year winning Silver.
"In rural New Brunswick, a transgender woman charts a new path" won Gold in two categories: Best Online Video: Feature and Best Feature Article: Short. Congratulations to all of the creators who worked on the piece.

Digital storytellers from Hakai Magazine took home Gold in Best Science and Technology Storytelling (for "The Noose Beneath the Waves" by Sasha Chapman) and Silver in Best Arts & Culture Storytelling (for "The Oracle of Oyster River" by Brian Payton).
VICE swept the Best Online Video: Mini-Doc category: VICE Québec won Gold for "Souldia : à double tranchant" while VICE Canada took home Silver for "Fear and Loading: Meet the NRA's Most Wanted Customer."

Eternity Martis to host this year's DPAs
We're pleased to announce that award-winning journalist and editor Eternity Martis will host this year's DPA Soirée on May 29 at One King West Hotel in Toronto.
"I'm very excited to emcee this year's Digital Publishing Awards and honour the excellent work of journalists, editors, designers, producers and all others in digital publishing who are creating and telling the stories that matter. In the years the DPAs has recognized digital excellence, it's provided a space for celebrating a range of voices and content that both reflect our cultural landscape and push the boundaries of storytelling. As a young woman fairly new to the industry when the DPAs launched, it was thrilling to see the stories I cared about nominated and awarded. Now as your emcee, I look forward to celebrating another year of astonishing achievements with all of you."
Eternity is an award-winning journalist and the senior editor at Xtra. Her work, namely on race and gender, has been featured in Vice, HuffPost, The Walrus, CBC, Hazlitt, The Fader, tvo.org and more, and one of her essays was selected by Roxane Gay as part of Salon's series highlighting writers of colour.
Her article "A Capital Idea," exploring the reasons for capitalizing Black and Indigenous, helped influence media style guides changes across Canada including The Ryerson Review of Journalism, tvo.org, and Xtra. Her writing has also been featured on syllabuses at Western University, Carleton University, University of Ottawa, University of West Indies St. Augustine and on numerous #BlackLivesMatter syllabuses around the world.
In 2018, she won Gold for Best Investigative Feature at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards for her piece "The Health Effects of Anti-Black Racism." In 2017, she was a National Magazine Awards finalist for Best New Writer for her longform feature "Know Your History, Know Your Greatness" in Hazlitt. She recently wrote an essay in the highly-anticipated anthology "Black Writers Matter" from University of Regina Press (2019), and her memoir, They Said This Would Be Fun, about being a student of colour amid growing white nationalism on campus, is forthcoming from McClelland & Stewart.

'50 Shades of Grey' gay flap
By Jeff Labrecque
Phil Bray; Ken Regan
Fifty Shades of Grey (Book)
Now that Bret Easton Ellis has conceded that he wasn't chosen to write the screen adaptation to Fifty Shades of Grey, you may have thought that his hyperactive tweets about E L James' best-seller, the upcoming movie, his casting thoughts, his first choice for director, more of his casting thoughts, would finally subside. But Ellis has not gone quietly. On Wednesday, he followed up his announcement that the film's producers were no longer considering him by provoking fans with a string of tweets that claimed Matt Bomer could never be cast as Christian Grey, the controlling sexual dynamo who opens Anastasia Steele's eyes to kinky pleasures of the flesh in James' novels. Ellis' reason? "Okay I'll say it. Matt Bomer isn't right for Christian Grey because he is openly gay. He's great for other roles but this is too big a game," he argued in one tweet. "I am NOT discriminating Matt Bomer because of his sexuality. Fifty Shades of Grey demands an actor that is genuinely into women. Get it?!?," he said in another.
So here we are… again… still. Can an openly gay actor convincingly portray a straight character on screen? (Yes, I agree that the question itself is a little insulting.) You would think that Neil Patrick Harris' portrayal of a unrepentant heterosexual lothario on How I Met Your Mother would have settled this issue once and for all, but Ellis still voices a significant mindset. In 2010, Newsweek writer Ramin Setoodeh ignited a furor when he explained that he couldn't appreciate Sean Hayes' performance in the play Promises, Promises, primarily because "it's weird seeing [the openly gay] Hayes play straight." In 2009, Rupert Everett was so frustrated by Hollywood's inability to see anything past his own sexuality that he urged young gay actors to stay in the closet if they wanted to enjoy any real mainstream success.
At one point in Ellis' Twitter seizure, he acknowledged that a significant portion of female respondents didn't seem to have an issue with Bomer playing Grey. "I actually think it's cool that women want Matt Bomer as Christian Grey," he wrote. "It means that we've moved beyond stereotypes and that gay is hot…" I couldn't imagine a more misguided interpretation of that feedback. Another explanation: women are not threatened by the idea of gay men. They flocked to theaters to see Bomer play a straight male stripper in Magic Mike, and his sexuality has never stifled his character's appeal to female fans of White Collar.
Clearly, then, this is more of a guy issue. In the book, Christian Grey is a fantasy not only to millions of women, but also to men who want to be able to see themselves in him and live vicariously through his exploits. Apparently, that male illusion is complicated when the man portraying that hero is gay. Which is ridiculous, folks. It's called acting! As EW's Mark Harris reminded us in the aftermath of the Setoodeh affair, "Robert Downey Jr. does not really have a special suit that lets him fly."
Understanding Ellis' reaction is important to appreciating the hypocrisy when the on-screen sexual orientation scenario is reversed: Was Tom Hanks less believable playing a gay man in Philadelphia because the audience couldn't resolve the role with his real-life marriage to Rita Wilson? Ditto for Sean Penn in Milk? Colin Firth in A Single Man? Greg Kinnear in As Good as it Gets? Perhaps the reason they were accepted in prominent gay roles and generously honored for doing so is because, deep down, there's homophobic residue that exists in even the most enlightened dude's psyche that is reassured by the reality that those actors are "just pretending" to be gay. It gives these males the opportunity to have it both ways — no pun intended. They can admire the "courageous" performance but sleep easy knowing that the actor is, really, just like them.
Whether Ellis was describing his own personal views, or simply offering his assessment of the industry realpolitik that will ultimately decide who will star in a potential blockbuster, isn't exactly clear. (I would argue that in this case, they are one and the same.) But I think his line of thinking grossly underestimates the audience, and demonstrates a major misunderstanding of the craft of acting. Bomer might be asked to play an intelligent billionaire tycoon who oozes sexual charisma. As a straight man, I don't mind saying that he can pull that off. Now if he were up for the role of Lennie from Of Mice and Men — that might be a stretch.

The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Meghalaya government on a report by the Central Empowered Committee (CEC) that illegal mining of limestone was going on in the East Khasi hill region of the state.
A special three-judge forest bench, headed by the Chief Justice S H Kapadia, has issued notice to the state government and asked it to file the reply.
The notice was accepted by Additional Solicitor General Parag Tripathi representing the state government.
"State of Meghalaya, who appears before us, undertakes to effect service on the quarry owners.Issue notice accordingly," said the bench, which also comprises justices Aftab Alam and K S Radhakrishnan.
On April 8, the apex court had directed CEC to look into the allegations that the members of the Shella Village Action Committee (SVAC) were illegally mining limestone in the East Khasi hill region and were exporting to Bangladesh.


Kate Middleton's uncle, Gary Goldsmith, admitted to physically assaulting his wife, Julie-Ann Goldsmith, on the 14th of November. According to reports, Gary hit his wife while they were both drunk outside of his home.
The British Broadcasting Corporation revealed that the couple argued in the back of a taxi ending with Gary punching her in the side of her face. The incident took place shortly after arriving home.
The assault caused Julie-Ann to hit the ground, and she laid there with her eyes closed for around 15 seconds. When the taxi driver confronted Gary, he became irate, and Julie-Ann told the driver to call the cops.
In a report from The Evening Standard, the publication alleges the incident took place on the 13th of October and the prosecutor of the case, Kate Shilton, described the altercation in detail.
During the taxi ride, Mr. Goldsmith and Julie-Ann began shouting at one another after they had been drinking together the entire evening.
Mrs. Goldsmith doesn't remember how it happened, but Gary punched her in the face which knocked her straight to the floor including her head which bounced on the ground. On the 21st of November, Gary will receive his sentence after he was released on bail.
On the same day the police took Gary to the police station, the Duchess visited a group of children at the Hornsey Road Children's Centre in London, where a six-year-old girl gave her a bouquet of flowers. It appears as though Gary and his niece, Kate Middleton, are diametrically opposed to one another especially regarding character.


Like the Music City bands it chronicles, Nashville is preparing to finish one set and take a breather before the next.
TVLine can exclusively reveal that the CMT drama will air its midseason finale on Thursday, March 9, at 9/8c.
No word yet on when the season will resume.
Last night, the network aired a very troubling (for Rayna fans, at least) promo in which it appears that Carl Hockney cares not one whit for that restraining order filed against him. Press PLAY on the video above to watch it (or watch it again), then hit the comments: Do you think you'll be able to make it through a few Thursdays without Rayna & Co.?

One of the most versatile tools ever designed for cutting paper cloth and plastic films.
* A standard double-edge razor blade is locked securely in the molded plastic handle.
* Slip the foot of the tool under the material to be cut and push for a straight clean cut.


Thanks to everyone who came out for either or both of the workdays to clean up and renew the workspace in the Gardening Partners Greenhouse. It is really coming along. The new bench tops are working well and the new frames look great. We have more space to work and a cleaner safer area to get it done. Additional tops will be here soon to complete the job. We also hope to install a potting table and some storage shelves soon. And it's all just in time for the Tomato Team to get started!
Thanks to JT and Bernie for organizing. Extra special thanks to Linda Sullivan who did the work of 3 people on both days and for bringing Raymond to help with getting rid of junk!
And of course, our builders Bill Bowker and Tom Powlas who made our new benches and installed the tops!


So, going back to June. Almost the entire month was spent in a feature freeze for DMDirc 0.6.3m1. We made around 70 commits to our git repository, fixing a large number of bugs ranging from typos, to windowing/title problems, and various minor UI tweaks.
On the 28th of June, we released DMDirc 0.6.3m1, the full changelog for which can be seen on the wiki.

We always complain when we see the price tag on that crazy new gadget, or even just that new TV. But when you look back at some of the electronic wonder Sony and RCA were throwing out on the market 30 year ago. You realize that we really cannot complain. Figure inflation in to the comparison and that snazzy HI-DEF whatever-It-Is- seems like a steal. Take a trip down memory lane with us as we compare some of our favorite electronics to those of yesteryear. The fine folks at intec.net has come up with an interesting infographic that will help you understanding pretty well that how much technology costs in real.

Home / Research / Research Experiences for Undergraduates
For current UChicago students:
James R. Norris, Jr. Grant for Undergraduate Summer Research in Chemistry
The James R. Norris, Jr. Grant for Undergraduate Summer Research in Chemistry is named in honor of Dr. James R. Norris, Jr., the Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry (retired). The purpose of the competitive Norris grant is to recognize an outstanding first-year student in the College who makes a substantial commitment to the performance of full-time summer research in the Department of Chemistry. Recipients of the Norris grant are expected to develop and perform a dedicated research project which could be suitable for peer-reviewed publication.
The Beckman Scholars Program
The Beckman Scholars Program in Molecular Sciences provides students in the College the best opportunity to develop the skills that will promote their success during graduate and post-graduate training and begin building tools for independence and leadership. In addition to working in the laboratory of a UChicago mentor students will meet regularly with other undergraduate researchers on campus to develop judgment, insight and critical thinking skills. The Beckman Scholars Program is aimed towards current second-year students in the College, or third-years who commit to working in his/her mentor's lab for two full summers.
The Student Summer Research Fellowship Program administered under the Computer Science Department aims at recruiting a group of highly motivated undergraduate students from select partner universities to join the faculty-led research groups and conduct research at UChicago in the summer. During the 8-week program period, each student will spend their work time with one faculty member and his/her research team to conduct research. In addition, the program will organize group-based team building activities, workshops, group projects etc. that will expose students to the larger UChicago academic community.
Center for Data and Computing (CDAC)
The Data & Computing Summer Lab is an immersive 10-week paid summer research program at the University of Chicago. In the program, high school and undergraduate students are paired with a data science mentor in various domains, including: computer science, data science, social science, climate and energy policy, public policy, materials science, and biomedical research. Through this pairing the research assistant will engage with and hone their skills in research methodologies, practices, and teamwork. CDAC encourages participation from a broad range of students, and requires no prior research experience to apply.
In this program, students have the opportunity for intensive study and research in mathematics. Students participate in at least one of several courses taught by Department of Mathematics faculty members and are mentored by Department of Mathematics graduate students. The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for students to be involved in a deeper experience in mathematics than is usually available during the academic quarters. This program is especially beneficial for undergraduates who are considering graduate study and research in mathematics.
The University of Chicago Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Physics, supported by the National Science Foundation offers undergraduates the opportunity to gain research experience working in the laboratory or research group of a Physics Department faculty member. The program encourages participation by members of underrepresented minority groups and women. Supplementing this valuable practical experience, faculty and graduate students present special lectures to provide an overview of the wide-ranging research conducted in the department.
MRSEC
The MRSEC REU, administered jointly with the Physics REU program, aims to provide opportunities for students to do leading-edge research in physics and materials science full-time during the summer, with an emphasis on providing opportunities to underrepresented students who may pursue a career in research. Possible research areas include experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics and materials chemistry, nanoscience, biophysics, nonlinear dynamics and chaos, complex fluids and polymers, optical spectroscopy of materials, and atomic physics.

Australia's anti-doping agency, ASADA, is enlisting parents in its latest strategy to educate the next generation about the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs.
The agency believes parents play a crucial role in the battle against doping and has designed the Parents' Guide to Support Clean Sport, an online anti-doping course to help parents educate their children on how to protect themselves.
ASADA CEO David Sharpe said the pressure to train hard, compete and achieve at the highest level can lead young athletes to "think about taking dangerous shortcuts", which is why the agency has developed a parents' guide to support clean sport.
Mr Sharpe said many parents around the world are unaware of how prevalent doping is and how easy it is to buy banned substances.
"The course is designed to help parents enhance their children's knowledge of how to protect themselves in their sport or career," Mr Sharpe said.
"I know many parents around the country and around the world see doping as steroids and part of the program we are delivering is to tell you that is not the case.
Mr Sharp said that 45 per cent of 14 to 16-year-old boys have had protein shakes and one in five supplements sold in shopping centres contain banned substances. He hopes the course will make anti-doping a part of sports culture at a grassroots level.
In partnership with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), ASADA launched the program globally at Marist College on Wednesday afternoon (3 April).
1996 Olympic Rowing gold medalist and mother of two Megan Marcks was at the launch and said there are myths surrounding elite sport that need to be broken.
"I really want my kids to have a really positive experience with their sport and having a resource like this where you can start to get information about what are some of those important conversations you need to be having with children," she shared.
"There are more supplements that are readily available and there is a bit of a myth and misconception that all elite athletes actually do take supplements but that is not the case.
The course is hosted on both ASADA's eLearning platform and on Play by the Rules, to ensure it reaches as many Australian parents as possible.

Q: Trying to redirect to default if file containing 'index_'+storeNum+'html?s'+storeNum; doesn't exist I have code to look for a file containing 'index_'+storeNum='.html?s='+storeNum.
I would like to find a way to say if that does not exist to default to default.html. I still seem to get a 404 with the code I am using
var url = getParameterByName('url');
var storeNum = getParameterByName('s');
var promo = getParameterByName('promo');

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.container').css({
    height: wh
  });

  if (storeNum) {
    url = 'index_' + storeNum + '.html?s=' + storeNum;
  } else {
    url = 'default.html';
  }

  $('#content').attr('src', url);
});

I have tested this. It never goes to the else statement as it always "finds" a page, but it is a non existent page resulting in the 404. This is how I pass in the store index.html?s=6008. I then have a list of index files, index_6008.html, index_6009.html, etc. Not sure why it wouldn't hit the else if the file doesn't exist. The issue I am having is that it always will hold a value as we always pass in a number in the URL.

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals her surprise plan for naming her second child
By Akanksha Adlakha 14 December 2020
In a recent episode of What Women Want, the second time mom-to-be spoke about how she's going to go about selecting the name for her baby. Read on to find out what she has to say
Over the past few months, Kareena Kapoor Khan has been turning heads with her breezy maternity wardrobe (think easy dresses, kaftans and kurtas), and now, has also revealed her plans when it comes to the name of her second born, due 2021. The expectant mom, who has been busy chatting with friends for the new season of her radio talk show, What Women Want, recently opened up about the topic while in conversation with Neha Dhupia.
During the talk, Dhupia asked Kapoor Khan, "Who from your friends and family was the first to suggest baby names?" to which the latter responded saying. "After the whole controversy of Taimur, both Saif and me have not even thought about it. We're going to leave it last minute and then spring a surprise." As the conversation continued, Dhupia also suggested a poll to discover the most popular baby names, to which Khan said, "I don't even want to go down that road, I'm going to tackle this right at the end!"
Back in 2016, the announcement of Taimur Ali Khan's name received mixed reactions from followers of the celebrity couple around the world, pushing Saif Ali Khan to consider changing his son's name. "I thought for a second about changing his name. For a couple of weeks. And Kareena was a little against it. She said, 'People respect you for your opinion and you can't'," Khan revealed in an interview. According to reports, 'Taimur' is an ancient Persian name that translates to 'iron'.
The actor first announced the news of her second pregnancy earlier this year in August. "We are very pleased to announce that we are expecting an addition to our family!! Thank you to all our well-wishers for all their love and support," read the couple's official statement. To know what the stars will finally name their second baby, we'll have to wait for March 2021.
