another day another man
Another Day Another Man (1966)
March 4, 2017 March 4, 2017 / swampflix	/ 5 Comments
Something I learned from my career retrospective of sleaze auteurist Russ Meyer is that as far as sexploitation subgenres go, I'm much more wired to enjoy the light-hearted kitsch of nudie cuties than the violent leering of roughies. Two films into Doris Wishman's catalog, I'm only having my bias reaffirmed. The deliriously inane Nude on the Moon was a perfect intro to the world of Wishman, as it was a sexed-up version of the exact kind of cheap sci-fi dreck I often find myself watching anyway. Her black & white roughie Another Day Another Man was a little more outside of my comfort zone. Arriving soon after her roughies era started with Bad Girls Go to Hell, one of her more infamous works, Wishman's black & white cheapie Another Day Another Man toys with all the hallmarks of the more disreputable end of sexploitation cinema (domestic abuse, misogyny, rape), but never indulges in them long enough to totally sour the mood. Too much of Another Day Another Man is lopsided in a memorably goofy, tangibly dingy way to completely dismiss the film as misanthropic erotica, but it does often come perilously close.
Two female roommates argue about the moral implications of earning rent money through sex work. One is, unapologetically, a prostitute with a brutish lowlife for a pimp. The other is quitting her reputable job as a secretary to pursue her dream career: housewife. Her newfound dependency on her husband becomes immediately troubling when he's stricken with sudden illness and the housewife is, no surprise, pressured into sex work under the guiding hand of the same low level pimp. She's initially shamed for flaunting her sense of moral superiority over former roommate's head, but that's only the start of her degradation. She's roughed up for de-masking her first client, a wealthy politician. She suffers great anxiety over sneaking out nightly to cuckold her husband for "easy" money. Her pimp's tactics of breaking down his employees' wills and pressuring them into sex work is given great detail (over the course of a clunky dream sequence, oddly), making her plight as a protagonist out to be nothing special. It's all very standard roughie territory, which leads to inevitable & predictable tragic end, a plot you could comfortably scribble onto a crumpled up cocktail napkin.
What Wishman excels at that makes this exercise watchable is texture. The camera work & production design in Another Day Another Man isn't exactly masterful; I'm not even sure I would call it competent. There's something endearingly dirty & off-center about the whole thing, though, that makes for a memorable picture. The movie gets off to a rocky start with a badly dubbed stroll through Central Park between our soon-to-be-doomed newlyweds, but it picks up as soon as the roomates argue about the respectability of the respective ways they earn a living. Drastically lit like a crime scene, the two women's magazine spread living room is a kitschy nightmare where the roomates argue, undress, and overstuff ashtrays in furious torrents of chain-smoking. The camera slowly pans up from their high heels to their complicated, lacy underwear to their beehives, careful never to show actual nudity, but coming as hilariously close as it can without going there. Weirdly sultry, off-center rock music is a constant, oppressive presence as the film gets lost in minor, unerotic details like shoes & ashtrays and, in its weirder moments, buries its lens, unfocused, in its characters' cleavage for multiple consecutive shots. It's a strangely dizzying, convincingly seedy experience even if it refuses to deliver the goods in terms of actual nudity.
As similar as Doris Wishman's career trajectory seems to be to Russ Meyer's in terms of following sexploitation trends from nudie cuties to roughies to auteur weirdness to late-period pornography, it's funny to see the way their visual calling cards differ. Meyer's work is typified by a rapid-fire, machine-like montage style that smashes images of women's bodies against inanimate objects like cars & street signs and somehow makes the juxtaposition oddly erotic through the sheer pervy will of its leering filmmaker's eye. Wishman's style, if Another Day Another Man is any indication, is a languid, decidedly unerotic version of the same technique. She cuts away from women undressing to focus on a cigarette butt or a clown painting or a bra discarded on the carpet in an amusingly dispassionate way that puts the audience libido on ice. The technique is a lot sillier & less controlled than Meyer's, but it makes for some interesting camp cinema auteurism. Unfortunately, the rape-oriented seediness of the roughie genre kept me from falling in love with Another Day Another Man and, oddly enough, the film's story loses a crucial amount of steam after its protagonist starts hooking that makes the film somewhat of a chore. Wishman's amateurish, but strangely off-center eye kept its dingy visual palette fascinatingly unerotic despite all odds, though, and I'm curious to see how that dynamic is echoed in the rest of her sexploitation work.

Full or partial tooth loss, if left untreated, doesn't just affect a person's self-image — it can also increase the risk of developing nutritional problems and other systemic health disorders. Fortunately, there's a reliable and time-tested method for treating this condition: full or partial dentures.
Full or partial dentures consist of a gum-colored base made of plastic resin, which fits over the remaining alveolar (bone) ridge that formerly held the teeth. The prosthetic teeth projecting from the base are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. Dentures are held in place primarily by the suctioning effect of their close fit against the alveolar ridges — that's why it's so important that they are fitted properly. The upper denture also gets extra support from the large surface area of the roof of the mouth (palate), which generally makes it extremely stable.
Immediate Dentures: These are usually a temporary means of helping you transition to successful denture wearing. Because of the muscular readjustment required, as well as the natural shrinkage of gums, the dentures which are placed immediately after tooth extraction won't fit as well as permanent dentures made when the healing is complete. They do, however, provide you with new teeth right away, and give you time to adjust.
Implant-Supported Overdentures: To increase the stability of a lower or upper denture, it's possible for it to be securely anchored using two or more dental implants. The upper jaw requires more implants (generally three or more) than the lower jaw due to a lesser bone density. Many people find this option offers a great balance of comfort, functionality and value.
To enable normal speech and eating, it's crucial to balance your bite. This means that the upper and lower dentures come together and properly stabilize each other. We carefully check the form and function of the dentures to ensure that they are working and fitting properly.
If you've recently lost your teeth and received an immediate denture, it's normal to find some tissue shrinkage and bone loss occurring. Therefore, in several months you may find that your immediate dentures no longer fit well. You will have two choices at this point: You can have your immediate (temporary) dentures re-lined. This means that material is added under the denture's base to better conform to the new contours of your alveolar ridge. A better option is to move to a set of conventional full dentures, which will last longer and fit better. With proper care, dentures offer a functional, aesthetic and economical solution to the problem of tooth loss.

Hayate To Switch From MotoGP To Moto2?
Submitted by David Emmett on Wed, 2009-10-07 09:26
The Estoril MotoGP round saw the long-awaited announcement of the list of teams whose entries for Moto2 have been accepted. Among the expected candidates was a name which raised one or two eyebrows in the press room: The Hayate team, formerly the factory Kawasaki team, had been granted not one but two entries for the Moto2 class next season.
Despite the fact that the rationale for the Moto2 class is to make racing affordable again, the expense of running two riders in the class alongside a MotoGP entry would seem to be the Hayate team extending themselves beyond their current means. The team has gone almost entirely unsponsored, apart from the funds provided by Dorna and Kawasaki as part of the agreement to allow Kawasaki to leave the series before the end of their contract, which was due to expire at the end of 2011. The chances of Hayate procuring the necessary 5-6 million euros in sponsorship the team would require to run a MotoGP team next season, in addition to the extra million or so euros a two-rider Moto2 team would cost, seem fairly remote.
But the lack of potential sponsors isn't the only sign that Hayate are moving away from continuing in MotoGP. Initially, the team had planned to run a leased Yamaha engine in a modified version of the Hayate chassis, but a number of factors have made that an unlikely option. The first problem - and the most disappointing one, for both Hayate and the rest of the paddock - is the question of cost. Yamaha are believed to be the only factory so far to have shown any enthusiasm for the plan to lease just engines to satellite teams, but even they are asking something in the region of 750,000 euros a season (about 65% of the cost of an entire bike), a sum which is well above what the satellite teams and Dorna had been hoping for.
The second problem is the loss of some of the figures who would have been key to the project. Hidden among the details of Chris Vermeulen's announcement that he was joining Kawasaki in World Superbikes was the level of factory support for Paul Bird's team. The development effort - which will center around a radically changed bike to be introduced in 2011, and rumored to feature a big-bang firing order - is to be led by Ichiro Yoda, the man who led the Hayate effort in 2009, having led both the Kawasaki and Yamaha MotoGP efforts previously. If Hayate were to try and shoehorn a Yamaha engine into the Kawasaki chassis they used last year, not having Ichiro Yoda on board - the man who laid the basis for Yamaha's engine and designed Kawasaki's chassis - would be a huge handicap.
Yoda isn't the only crew member to go missing, though. At least one other member of the Hayate team is making the switch to Kawasaki's World Superbike project along with the Japanese engineering genius, and one or two more could well follow.
So it seems that Hayate team boss Andrea Dosoli has decided to focus his efforts in a class where he can be much more competitive for a great deal less money. Trying to get a Yamaha engine to work in a Kawasaki frame was not impossible, but would have required a good deal of work and would have needed a long lead time before the project became competitive. Electing to buy a chassis from Moriwaki or Suter and using the standard Honda engine is a much easier route to running at the front. The chances of seeing a Hayate in MotoGP again next season look to be very slim indeed.

Is it just me or does it seem like MotoGP is trying to make GP more like F1. In F1 each team is required to build its own chassis and they have the opportunity to lease engines from one of several manufacturers. Doesn't it seem like Moto2 is designed to further such systemic changes?
The class was designed to allow private teams to experiment with chassis construction, electronics, and suspension setups so they can develop the expertise needed to build and a rolling chassis. The next major change in the sport after the announcement of Moto2 was the announcement of the engine leasing program---Moto2 and the engine leasing program seem to be intertwined. I think Dorna have given up fighting the manufacturers about the capacity, but I do believe that Dorna and the IRTA are both hugely dissatisfied with the cost of satellite bikes and the results that can be achieved with inferior equipment in the 800cc era.
I'm beginning to think that Moto2 was not the MSMA's baby; instead, a love child between Dorna and the IRTA who are trying to wrestle some of the power back from the MSMA. One of the most important sources of power the IRTA will have in Moto2 will be the ability to get the top talent under contract before the MSMA can get them under contract. Obviously, that arrangement is useless if you run satellite bikes b/c your contracted riders will still be looking for a way out of your team.
Now I see why Herve was somewhat put off by Kropotkin's assertion that the factory teams would simply set up their own satellite teams. Herve's operation is largely controlled by Yamaha. He isn't worried about being replaced, he's worried about liberating himself from Yamaha. Moto2 was designed to give him the expertise he needed to make his own chassis, the engine leasing rule was designed to deliver the engines.
I think the big picture is starting to come together.
I doubt there will be a 40 riders in the league
Stinkwheel replied on Wed, 2009-10-07 17:12
There may be 39 slots and another ten in reserve, but I don't think we'll see 10 rows on the starting grid. I'd guess closer to 30 with wild variations in successful packages, rider talent and combinations of the two. I'm not sure if this will make for a great show, disappointed teams that won't qualify or a disaster of back-markers. But it will almost certainly be interesting. Aprilia and Honda reached near parity through years of competition. And even now with a control engine there is probably more opportunity for the bike to matter. It will probably settle out after a year or two and I just hope that a default chassis doesn't result from too much imbalanced success. The opportunity for a wild card entry seems sadly impossible now. I'd like to see some solution for this.
I'd like to see...

Hat tip to The Boston Shaker, which sold me both Saturday's channel knife and this variety pack of Dutch's bitters.
Dutch's is a New York-based bitters maker that I was previously not familiar with. Their products combine flavors popular in a certain time and place in American history.
For instance, right now I'm sipping a 3:2 Manhattan with a few healthy dashes of the Boomtown bitters. These are meant to evoke gold-rush, frontier towns, with sarsaparilla, oak, mint, and coconut, among other things. The whole thing reminds me of smoke and molasses, and seems to thicken the mouthfeel of the vermouth somehow.
In short, I highly recommend the Boomtown. The Prohi-bitters (ginger, citrus, hibiscus) also smells delicious, although their Colonial line (lavender, juniper, rose) reminds me of somehing they'd pipe into a clothing store to increase sales. I'll post more as I play with them.
Very happy to announce I've gone out and gotten myself a bottle of Peychaud's. It's about time - they've been around for two hundred years.
Peychaud's is the signature bitters of New Orleans, and is essential in both the Sazerac (whose namesake company now produces the bitters) and the Vieux Carré. Followers of the blog may remember a version of that second drink I put up a while back, substituting cardamom bitters for the Peychaud's. That'll work in a pinch, but it's not the same.
Peychaud's's flavor profile (there's got to be a better way to render that possessive) hits anise and cherry notes most strikingly. In addition to being a storied bitters that is often specifically called for, it makes a fun variation for Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, or really anything that calls for bitters. I'm going to enjoy playing around with it.

The little school near South Lake Tahoe is back on top of the basketball mountain.
Whittell held off Word of Life Christian Academy, 53-46, to win the Division IV state championship Saturday at Lawlor Events Center.
The title is Whittell's second in three years, after losing in the semifinals at state last year.
Neither team shot particularly well Saturday, but the Warriors made shots when they needed to and finished strong.
Quinn Kixmiller scored his first points of the game on a 15-foot jumper at the first-half buzzer and that gave the Warriors the lead, 29-28, and a boost going into the second half.
"We were real comfortable with where we were at halftime. We just told the kids, 'Let's just keep doing what we do,'" coach Phil Bryant said. "And attack the rim a little more and we'll be fine."
He said the Warriors practice game-winning shots at the end of every practice before a game, so that was not a new situation for Kixmiller.
"There's never been a day that we haven't hit one from half court," Bryant said.
Whittell built an eight-point lead, 46-38, with 5:02 remaining, but Word of Life closed to 48-45 with 1:35 left.
Bryant said the players always thought they would win.
"The kids, when they believe, there's no panic. It might have looked like it a couple of times with a couple of turnovers, but the officials were letting them play," Bryant said.
The Warriors kept pressing on defense throughout the game to try to wear down the Eagles.
Palmer Chaplin, one of five Whittell seniors, scored 22 points, including four 3-pointers. Colin Buccholz added 10 points.
Chaplin said preparation was key to getting the win.
"Knowing that we've prepared to go through those kind of situations and we've just got to stay calm and run our stuff," Chaplin said. "We can't play into their hands. We've got to run our game. When we do that, we come out on top."
He said playing at Lawlor was a factor in some early missed shots.
"It's not like we need 10 guys in double digits. But, if we can get everyone with just a few buckets and balanced scoring, that's the key, to have everyone contributing," Chaplin said.
Buchholz said the fact his high school career is over had not hit him Saturday night.
"It's a great way to go out," Buchholz said. "We had a lot of adversity with that team (WLCA), they're more athletic, they're quicker, they're bigger, they're taller than us, but we were able to play smarter than them," Buchholz said. "We're a team that doesn't give up. We don't get down on ourselves."
Word of Life, a small private school in Las Vegas, joined Division IV four years ago. The Eagles don't have a full gym and practice on a half court.
Their athleticism was something the Warriors do not see very often. Whittell practiced against former players and other students who tried to be as aggressive and fast as possible to mimic the Eagles.
"We can't try to out-jump them, or out-run them, it's not going to work," Chaplin said. "We just have to stay fundamental and that's what we did."
He said all the players will be back in the gym Monday morning preparing for next season.
Word of Life coach Percy Lockett said foul trouble caused his team to back off on defense a bit.
"We played a really good team. Some shots didn't fall," Lockett said. "They earned it."
Trent McCall led the Eagles with 15 points and Elijah Hoye added 13.
Lockett said the pieces are in place at WLCA for future teams to excel.
"They built a beautiful foundation for those guys to follow," he said.
WLCA made 9-of-13 free throws while Whittell hit 5-of-9.

The Gmail app takes calls now, too, because Google wants it to do everything
Google has turned its email app into a communication suite
By Dieter Bohn
on September 8, 2021 8:30 am
The new Gmail design, with Google Spaces.
Google is announcing even more Workspace features today, part of an increased cadence of changes to the company's office and communications software suite over the past year or so. Today's announcement is a bit of a milestone, however. Although there is still the smattering of small and coming-soon updates, the bigger change is that Gmail is getting a redesign that reveals its true nature in Google's eyes: the central hub for every Google communication app.
To begin, Google is adding the ability to "ring" another Google user with Google Meet — but inside the Gmail mobile app, not inside the Meet app. When the feature rolls out and turns on, your Gmail app will be able to be called just like any other VOIP app (in addition to being able to join Google Meet meetings). Google says the standalone Meet app will get the same ability to place calls, not just create group meetings, at some point in the future.
That Gmail was the first place Google thought to put its calling feature reveals how important Gmail has become to the larger changes happening within Google Workspace. Google has not been shy about leveraging Gmail's popularity to drive adoption of its other services.
Gmail has become Google's take on Outlook
Now, Gmail is essentially Google's equivalent to Microsoft's Outlook. It's a central hub for multiple services. Outlook is Microsoft's hub for email, calendar, and contacts; Gmail is Google's hub for email, one-on-one chats, group chats, videoconferencing, and now calls. The email part of Gmail is just one tab in a group of four, next to Chat, Spaces, and Meet.
"Spaces" is Google's rebranding of "Rooms," a Slack-alike product that offers group chats. With the rename, Google's making it easier to find Spaces within a company by making them discoverable to search (as an option) and also finally adding full support for threaded messages. As with other group chat apps, threads will appear in an extra column on the right-hand side. (For those keeping count, that means a Spaces user could have up to five columns of different information on their screen at once.)
Google says users will be able to hide the tabs they don't use, as before, and that the redesign is rolling out to enterprise users first, in the coming weeks. After that, it will start to appear in Gmail for regular consumers.
As for the smaller updates, Google Calendar will now let you RSVP to a meeting invite with an indication of your location. Google will finally launch the so-called "Companion mode" feature this November. It's the system that has you log into a meeting on your laptop alongside the main room's AV system, muted by default so there's not an embarrassing audio feedback loop.
Finally, Google is expanding the "Series One" line of Google Meet-compatible hardware. Unlike "Made by Google" hardware like the Pixel, Series One devices are made by other companies to look like they fit in with Google's design aesthetic and work primarily with Google's software.
To me, the more interesting device is the Series One Desk 27. It's a touchscreen display designed primarily to serve as a Google Meet videoconferencing station, but it also has a simple USB-C port and can serve as an external monitor for a laptop. When you plug in, you can use its soundbar and 5-megapixel camera with whatever video conference app you like, as well. Google says it has an Edge TPU (a custom, Google processor) for listening to Hey Google commands, but otherwise it uses a standard Intel chip for its main functions.
It's definitely a device meant more for corporate spaces than consumer's homes and has a price to match: $1,999.
There's also the Series One Panel 65, a TV that's also able to take stylus input and work a little like Google's own Jamboard. Google says both will run on Chrome OS and are "all-in-one meeting devices," but beyond that, we don't have a ton of specs. The devices are made by Avocor, which makes a bunch of other custom meeting devices. It will launch in 2022. Pricing is not available yet.
Google is partnering with Cisco to ensure that hardware designed for Google Meet will be able to dial into Webex meetings and that hardware designed for Webex will be able to dial into Google Meet. As for Zoom, there's "nothing to announce."
There's been more work put into Google Workspace in the past year than seems to have gone into it in the several years before that, the vast majority of it focused on communication. That's great news for companies and consumers who use all of Workspace's various apps. But for those of us who just want Gmail to keep being just an email app, it's going to be increasingly difficult to keep it that way.
Correction, 5:25PM ET September 8th: The Gmail redesign is rolling out to enterprise customers in the coming weeks, not today as the article originally stated. We regret the error.
This is making me nostalgic for the bygone days of more minimal third party email clients like Sparrow, I just want an app to read email without a new feature being added every few weeks. I guess it's hard to keep an app going long term when you depend on your competitors' servers for actually sending the email.

By mhsna on 09.08.21 11:21am
Just started trying out Mimestream based on this thread, and I'm liking it so far, though I do wish that at least ONE lightweight Gmail client would let me view my emails in a way that's not compact without also cluttering it up with previews of the contents. When I was on Chromium browsers, I was using an extension that let me inject custom CSS into any page I visited, and used that to set custom spacing on Gmail, but it was a little wonky and it doesn't work on Safari or Firefox. But for that one aesthetic objection, Mimestream is close to great.

I don't see this as a bad thing! Sure, the Gmail website and app are getting a little cluttered with all these new features, but it's still fully functional as it has been for years. These new features are convenient yet optional, and yes they're a little bit "shoved down our throats" but you're not locked in at all.

As a mail.app gmail user (ducks) that screen shot is a bit overwhelming.
By kevindoyle on 09.08.21 9:17am
I'm always curious about those types of apps, but I can never bring myself to try switching since I can't get my head around how to use them with my work email. (Having two different email apps for my work and personal accounts seems like too much context switching, even though I don't use unified inboxes.)

While this is true, it is only recently true. For the longest time you could not do this. Actually, Google's own help site is not even updated to reflect it yet – it still says to use a browser.

Wow, weird that you commented a couple minutes before my comment, also referring to Google's support page.
How recent was this change??
Because the whole label-creating issue is one HUGE reason i don't use Gmail like i used to…
By TheTruthØE on 09.08.21 11:32am
Maybe a year, probably less depending on if you use Android/iOS ..
Because even Google's own support page says you can't make Labels in their Gmail App.
Though you seemed to be very much convinced to think otherwise, so I'm actually super curious to know what steps you have that one should take to make Labels in the Gmail app, per your direction….
Open the Gmail app in Android/iOS > Hamburger menu > Create label
Just Do It.
By MSCLYES on 09.08.21 3:40pm
Literally just updated Gmail and i still didn't see anywhere to do that at all, using your steps mentioned and everything ( my version of Gmail is 2021.08.08.394156522 )
Don't know if there's something else missing, but I've done all i could do and it still won't let me make a label in the Goddamn Gmail App!
By TheTruthØE on 09.08.21 8:42pm
No one has made the inevitable joke about this being another place for communication for Google's portfolio – now when you 'call' someone using a Google tool you might be using Duo, Google's phone dialer (traditional calls), Hangouts, Meet ,etc …
Joking aside, it's nice to see Gmail getting extended with new features, but the UI is feeling very dated these days and it's settings sections are already seemingly more complicated than Outlooks (at least at first glance) – it would be nice if Google focused on some usability/discovery features that made it easier to do the new things!

Kind of reminds me of WUPHF!

Outlook is the worst email i have ever seen, hope my company switch to Gmail

Interesting transfer news are out claiming that Barcelona are ready to test Liverpool's resolve for defender Daniel Agger.
The Daily Express revealed that the Catalan giants are looking to make reinforcements with Eric Abidal recently returning to action after undergoing a liver transplant and Carles Puyol a long-term absentee.
The 28 year old Denmark international has been an ever present feature for club and country this season, clocking up 43 appearances.

Black LA residents lack access to guns as wealthy rush to buy firearms amid crime wave: Activists
Beverly Hills turning to self-defense as crime rates continue to climb
Beverly Hills Guns owner Russell Stuart on the growth of California gun ownership as the state continues to see nonstop violent crime, leaving the citizens to turn to self-defense
Los Angeles crimes have seeped into the wealthiest of neighborhoods, rocking residents and being compared to dystopian movie franchise "The Purge." Residents have flocked to the city's only gun store in response, arming themselves as a last-ditch effort for protection even though the city has a long track record of supporting liberal policies and gun control.
"Although that is a part of my living, I get no pleasure whatsoever by having a 60-, 70-year-old woman walk into my store … who looks terrified, and say, 'I have never liked guns. In fact, I've even hated guns. I would have never considered buying one. But I'm so afraid for my life,'" Beverly Hills Guns owner Russell Stuart recounted to Fox News Digital on Sunday. "Especially women who live on their own."
Stuart is the owner of the only gun shop in Los Angeles and his clients include business owners, prominent actors, real estate moguls and film executives, with many of them buying guns for the first time.
But in Los Angeles, gun control measures have historically received strong support.
A poll over the summer found 66% of Los Angeles residents see gun control as an effective measure against gun crimes, while 56% of voters across the state believe stronger laws restricting the sale and possession of guns help mitigate gun crimes, according to the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, which was co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times.
Los Angeles is a Democratic stronghold and overwhelmingly voted for President Biden, at 71%, over former President Trump in the 2020 election. The trend stretches back decades, with Los Angeles County voters last voting for a Republican presidential candidate in 1988. The last Republican to hold the office of mayor was Richard Joseph Riordan, elected in 1993.

Stuart says not only are the wealthy looking to arm themselves, it's also people of "every color, every gender, every sexual orientation, every political belief."
Obtaining concealed carry permits in LA has been historically difficult and includes proving a person is of "good moral character" and that "good cause exists for issuance of the license," among other requirements. Beverly Hills Guns describes buying handguns in the state as a "tricky process" and notes, "California handgun laws are among the most restrictive in the country," according to its website.
To other Second Amendment activists, gun control restrictions marginalize Black Americans and have historically been racist.
"Gun control in this place called America was created to stop melanated beings from having the means to exercise their human right," political activist Maj Toure told Fox News Digital.
"All of this stuff that you see right now is just that, 'Oh, we're wealthy, we can just go buy [guns],'" Toure added. "But yet and still, the areas that have the most crime have the most restrictive gun laws."

Geneva Solomon, the co-owner of Black-owned Redstone Firearms in Los Angeles County's Burbank, agreed with Toure's comments. She said, "the gun control laws here are set up and intended to disproportionately affect those within the minority communities."
She pointed to California's complicated process of getting a concealed carry permit, saying single, Black parents in the state, for example, may have difficulty proving they have "good cause" for gun ownership.
"If the single parent is walking home and can't prove that they're 'important' by having money or high-value items taken from them, it may be really hard," Solomon told Fox News Digital. "Which goes back to the 'just cause' requirement of the insurance of the CCW. Having 'just cause' is too big of a gray area. That means it's up for interpretation of the person interviewing you and can lead to underlying bias."
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and the ACLU did not respond to Fox News' request for comment on the argument that gun control laws are racist. The ACLU does note on its website that it "firmly believes that legislatures can, consistent with the Constitution, impose reasonable limits on firearms sale, ownership, and use, without raising civil liberties concerns."
Solomon added that although proving just cause for gun ownership is needed, "there are also people who feel they are important," "and should have the same access to be able to protect themselves."
"California has gun control by ZIP code," according to Solomon, which leaves individual cities and counties responsible for processing conceal carry permits. In Los Angeles County, Sheriff Alex Villanueva vowed over the summer to expand concealed carry permits amid the county reporting spikes in murders, rapes, aggravated assaults and car thefts.
Solomon said she has repeatedly seen how legal gun ownership has thwarted crimes, including a personal experience for her.
"Years ago a gentleman was charged with home invasion on my home. He forced his way into my home and I walked downstairs with a gun," Solomon said. "But because of my training I didn't escalate the situation and deadly force wasn't necessary."
"I believe that my firearm deescalated what could have happened if he felt we were unarmed," she said.
Just last month, one legally armed jewelry store owner outside of LA managed to scare off four smash-and-grab robbers by simply brandishing his firearm.
After the crime surge across LA in 2021, notably targeting wealthy residents, the gun control narrative has been flipped on its head.
The wife of music executive Clarence Avant, philanthropist Jacqueline Avant, was fatally shot in her affluent Beverly Hills home on Dec. 1. Police issued repeated warnings of "follow-home robberies" late last year, where suspects target victims in affluent areas of Los Angeles, follow them until they are in a remote area and rob them.
Smash-and-grab looters have targeted ritzy stores in the city, causing thousands of dollars in damages and stolen merchandise. Homicides increased by about 12% last year compared to 2020's already wildly bloody year. Beverly Hills specifically has seen a 25% increase in violent crime in the past 12 months, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League Los Angeles compared Los Angeles crimes to the movie "The Purge" last month, "but instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days." Stuart added to Fox News Digital that he can't go into a restaurant or dinner and "not hear people talking about crime."

"Historically, this is an incredibly safe city," Stuart said, noting that over the last 15 years, "you literally thought you could walk down the street naked with $100 bills glued to you" and not face trouble.
But when "a couple shootings on Cannon Drive, several watch robberies, follow-home invasions, the execution style murder of Jacqueline Avant" are added together over a matter of months, the city has made a shocking and "incredible transformation."

Yemen: UK minister's remarks over UK arms 'far too relaxed' as civilian death toll mounts
22 Oct 2015, 06:53pm
Civilian homes destroyed by Saudi Arabia-led coalition airstrikes in Sa'da Old City this year © Amnesty International
'Mr Ellwood is far too relaxed about the horrible civilian death toll in Yemen' - Kate Allen
Responding to today's remarks during a parliamentary debate by the Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood that weapons supplied by the UK to Saudi Arabia have "probably" been used in the conflict in Yemen, Amnesty International UK Director Kate Allen said:
"Mr Ellwood is far too relaxed about the horrible civilian death toll in Yemen.
"The government has previously said that it simply relies on Saudi Arabia's 'assurances' over the proper use of UK-supplied weapons by its forces in Yemen, but how can this ever be good enough?
"Mr Ellwood only needs to read our recent report on Yemen - with its evidence of the reckless nature of the Saudi-led coalition's bombing campaign in Yemen - to set off the alarm bells
"Instead of sitting back and hoping for the best over Saudi Arabia's use of our weaponry in the blood-drenched conflict in Yemen, he should be suspending all further arms exports to Saudi Arabia and announcing an urgent investigation into whether UK arms have been killing civilians in their hundreds in Yemen."
The UK, which is a major supplier of arms and other military equipment to Saudi Arabia, has recently diverted a consignment of 500-pound "Paveway IV" bombs to Saudi Arabia. The weapons are used by Tornado and Typhoon fighter jets, both of which are manufactured and supplied to Saudi Arabia by the UK arms company BAE Systems. The Tornado and Typhoon jets have been used by Saudi Arabia in its military operations in Yemen. When pressed on the matter, UK ministers have previously said that Saudi Arabia has provided it with "assurances" of their proper use.
Amnesty supporters are calling on the UK government to suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia and other members of the anti-Houthi armed coalition in Yemen.
In today's debate in Westminster Hall, Mr Ellwood said that "I can probably confirm that they [British manufactured arms] probably have been used. We sell arms to Saudi Arabia - they are using weapons systems which we then sell. The more pertinent question is are they being used responsibly or not and that is the more important question and we need to make sure they are used in that responsible matter."
Earlier this month Amnesty published evidence of war crimes by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in a 40-page report which examined 13 coalition airstrikes in the city of Sa'da in north-eastern Yemen between May and July this year, attacks which killed some 100 civilians, including 59 children. More civilians have died as a result of coalition airstrikes than from any other cause during the Yemen conflict and Sa'da has suffered more destruction from airstrikes than any other city in the country. Amnesty's report reveals a pattern of appalling disregard for civilian lives displayed by the Saudi Arabia-led military coalition which has declared the entire cities of Sa'da and nearby Marran - where tens of thousands of civilians live - military targets in violation of international law. In at least four of the airstrikes investigated by Amnesty, homes attacked were struck more than once, suggesting that they had been the intended targets despite no evidence they were being used for military purposes.


Let's face it, we all have 3-4 weeks of vacation unless we are a full-time blogger getting paid in exchange for content. We want to use our time wisely therefore, I'd like to share what I call my SOLful 7 travel destinations.
Landed in Athens. Traveled to our hotel via taxi.
Rented a car from #SixtLionCarRental and drove to the Kyllini Sea Port. The drive is approximately 4 1/2 hours. We used the Attiki Highway with tolls to get out of the city of Athens faster versus using the free highway.
Jumped on the Ferry with our vehicle (ferry ride is about 1 hour). Food and beverages available for purchase.
Once you've arrived to Zante, there are many options to travel to #shipwreckbeach or just stay and enjoy the island and its beautiful beaches. I suggest exploring shipwreck. You can rent a boat and stay at shipwreck for 3 hours. They will wait for you while you enjoy your swim and scenery. Keep in mind #shipwreckbeach has no food, water or anything you can purchase so bring everything you need. #TheSolMat is a perfect travel accessory considering this beach is very rocky. If you like to enjoy the island and visit ship wreck from above, you can use your rental to do so.
photographer. Why didn't it make it to SOL-ful Escape #1? Maybe I prefer sunny over chilly weather but it was a toss-up between the two. I loved it so much that I would visit again in a heartbeat. I can't really say that for 90% of the countries I've visited. Have I convinced you yet? Check out some of the sites you can't go home without visiting. The #goldencircle covers many of the most popular sites including, #Keriocrater, #Geysir, #Seljalandsfosswaterfall, #blacksandbeach, #gullfosswaterfall and #bluelagoon but I recommend also visiting #diamondbeach and covering both the East and West of the country. Give yourself two weeks in Iceland. Renting a car is recommended though during the winter months the weather conditions may make driving a bit more challenging so be safe travelers.
total. Hosted by Kristinn. Includes, two bedroom, full kitchen, patio, flat screen TV, Netflix and the decor was modern and gorgeous.
Curaçao, is a Dutch Caribbean island surrounded with pastel-colored colonial architecture, white sandy beaches and activities that will impress your adventure-seeker self. You can also visit Blue Bay, a popular diving site if that is up your alley. My favorite activity while I visited was most definitely #aquafari for underwater fun and adventure. Not only was the experience a blast but the staff was unparalleled which makes you want to revisit. I even became #instagram friendly with my friend, Andy #amelstak who is a staff member at the #aquafari location. You can also #seabob to explore the clear waters of Curacao from down under. The list is endless and so are the many private beaches you don't hear about on the web. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. Keep in mind, dry season is from January to September and wet season id from October to December. Enjoy! And make sure to say Danki when you are pleased with your service!
that completes that feeling of really experiencing the culture outside of the busy Dubai life. I like to fly #americanairlines but if you would like to experience luxury at its best I suggest #emirates and business class will do. Look out for promos to save on the flight. I guarantee you won't ever want to fly coach again.
Okay, okay so I'm biased being born and raised in PR but my experience is solely based on taking more than ten trips to #laisladelencanto as an adult exploring every inch of the island. U.S. territory, no passport needed, U.S. dollars, English speaking country so when looking for convenience, fun, colonial buildings, some salsa nights and waterfalls, Puerto Rico is the place. Where to stay? #elconvento or #laconchahotel are on the top of my list of hotels. They offer easy access to local shops offering everything from handmade jewelry, leather goods, instruments and more. Walk to #castillosanfelipedelmorro which is a fort with breathtaking views of the ocean. If you like casinos, Puerto Rico has plenty. What I mostly enjoy of my island is that there is something for everyone. Beach bum? No problem! Adventure type? There's plenty of options.
Or maybe you are just a foodie? Well, that's easy. Don't be fooled, PR has vegan and organic places as well as sushi restaurants with some amazing top chefs. This SOL-ful location is one that I never get tired of visiting. Take the trip and share your thoughts with me at myeyes-wandering.
#Flamencobeach, #palominobeach, #culebrabeach, viequesbeach - all must see beaches in PR.
On my last trip this past January, I enjoyed all the locals coming together to paint flags all over the island in solidarity for the Hurricane that struck PR last year. Seeing people come together in honor of something they love was truly touching.
were an option and a schedule of things to do and shows to see daily. The service was excellent and the grounds were impeccable. This location for me is nothing more than an escape from our busy lives. I like Cancun for a few different reasons. I enjoy the food, the spas, and mostly just relaxing. They do offer tours, however, for me Cancun is mostly appreciated poolside and lying by the beach. Bring a carry on, (my choice when traveling #samsonite), pack 3-5 bathing suits and disconnect from the world back home.
about my travels. Brazil is dreamy, you feel young and light when you are there. However, I can't say that traveling there alone is the safest…at least not yet. We became friendly with our taxi driver, he pretty much became our personal tour guide the entire stay. He was honest, informative and clear on what to do and not to do. I ONLY recommend this if you are traveling with a group. I also prefer taxis used by hotels vs random taxis driving by.
Happy travels to you all!


New Home "I Can't Do This Any More"
Tuesday was Harrison's monthly trip to UNC for chemo infusion. These trips are relatively routine for us. They are just a part of life now. But they aren't routine for Harrison. He's sick of going. And tired. And hurting. Physically and emotionally.
At this appointment, Harrison's oncologist, Dr. Brent Weston, gave us a quick update of where we stand. It was slightly disappointing, so I've hesitated to pass it along.
Of course, we've learned that childhood cancer is simply one disappointment for Harrison after another.
Essentially, here is where we are.
Medically, things are GREAT (as far as we know). There has not been a relapse. There are no leukemia cells appearing in Harrison's blood. His counts are great. He remains in remission.
Stunned silence from a usually vibrant Harrison. The color vanished from his face. His countenance dropped.
Harrison had been counting down the days until his last chemo pill – No Mo' Chemo.
Cancer stole the fourth grade. Cancer stole football. Cancer stole his childhood. Harrison wants nothing more than to be rid of cancer. And now he is being told it would be with him forever.
Harrison's cancer is a terrible, terrible variety that resists traditional chemo. It is caused (at least in part) by a chromosome mutation resulting in a particular type of activity called a tyrosine kinase. Gleevec inhibits tyrosine kinases.
The doctors do not know how chronic Harrison's tyrosine kinase activity is. All of his leukemia cells could be gone. Or ONE could remain.
And if even one leukemia cell remains, his cancer would spread again.
Gleevec is used to treat a similar leukemia to Harrison's, and studies have shown that whenever a child with that type of leukemia stops Gleevec, the leukemia returns. So…better safe than sorry.
It is more complicated than that (medically), but that's simple enough for me to understand.
HOWEVER, better safe than sorry is not nearly as good as "cancer free and chemo free" would be, especially to Harrison.
While he will still stop traditional chemotherapy in April (provided nothing changes between now and then), he will continue cancer treatment indefinitely.
We should know more about any other plans shortly.
Thanks for praying for Harrison.
praying for him today. I am so sorry. I know this is such a tough road for him and for you as his parents.
Bless this young boy's heart… and his body… and his family. Hold firm, Harrison. Satan is trying to win, and he will NOT. God's got you, dear one. You have an army praying for you. Vulnerability is good, because it allows us to cling even tighter to the One who sustains us. Our prayers continue for you. I wish I could give you a hug.
Wow. Our kids are something!. I'm so sad that the future appears to be filled with continuing medications and trips to UNC. I am hopeful, that one day, the key to a cure will be found. Harrison is lucky to have such a strong support system, but my heart breaks for him, I know how badly these kids just want it to be done and over and left in the past.
Praying for him, and for all of you.
I am so sad to hear the news. I want to hug him! He can do it! He will press on and have a full life. Don't let Cancer get the best of his sweet self! Praying for all of you!!
Standing in the gap for Harrison and you all. Actually, I'm kneeling in the gap for Harrison. Praying to Jehovah Rapha!!!
I'm so very, very sorry to hear this. I read a quote in a book I'm reading this morning that hit home -the author said, "I am reluctant to say this because it is something I'd rather not hear and something I do not want to acknowledge, but the greatest works God has done in my life, He has done against my pleasure -and against my will." He goes on to say "I have been to the bottom, and I'm here to tell you it's solid." I'm praying right now that God will use this to do great and mighty works in Harrison -may he find that even now God is his solid and firm foundation -He is his ever present help in trouble.
I don't know you, but am deeply touched by this post. Praying for your sweet Harrison- for strength, perseverance, peace, courage, joy, and mostly for healing. Praying for the same for you as his parents. Praying for God's rich grace to pour over you all today.
Harrison – I ALWAYS pray for you! Did you know that you're my hero? God knows exactly how you feel – even when no one else really can.
Father God. This precious family needs your help. They need your strength. They need your provision. They need your hope and a measure of joy. I ask that your presence will cover over them with a blanket of peace. Well up in them with wisdom, hope and revelation of what to do next. Flow through them with your energy and strength. Delver them from the evil one. Bring healing to Harrison. Pour out your Spirit over them in tangible refreshing ways I pray. In Jesus name I ask.


Say this ten times fast: "gastroesophageal reflux disease".
I'll cut you a break. Just say GERD.
GERD occurs when stomach acid or bile flows back into your body's "food pipe", causing irritation and inflammation of your esophagus lining.
As if this condition weren't painful enough, other GI disorders often accompany it. The most common are (you guessed it) gas, flatulence, transit disorders, and abdominal distension.
Add irritable bowel syndrome and dyspepsia to the mix, and you've stirred up one unpleasant GI cocktail. Indeed, a recent French study reports GI disorders are three times more common in adult patients suffering with GERD, compared to the general population.
There is a ray of hope. About a third of the patients reported that treatment for GERD alleviated their other GI disorders, too—particularly dyspeptic-type symptoms.
The take away? If you suffer with GERD and other GI issues, ask your doctor about GERD treatment options. In the meantime, avoid self-prescribing over-the-counter medications, maintain a healthy diet, and increase your exercise levels to maximize your chances of feeling great.
thanks bill. I've suffered from this my whole life and learned recently that my maternal grandfather suffered from something quite similar. Is GERD hereditary and how can you prevent it if there is a family history of it?
Bill, this is a very interesting post. I noticed in the CNN article that obesity can lead to GERD. We all know that obesity is on the rise mainly because of how we eat as Americans. It's scary to think of what the future will bring.


Discussion in 'A Song For You: The Carpenters Forum' started by Chris May, Jan 14, 2017.
Side B: "Love Me For What I Am"
"SOLITAIRE"/"LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM"
I never got what was so "plodding" about this song. I always loved it, and thought it was a perfect choice for Karen's voice. I also love the single version edit, with additional electric guitar and organ.
I think the B-side takes the cake for me. It's just lovely, straightforward goodness. Very catchy. I wish they had released it as a single on its own, not just on the flip of "Solitaire".
I love both of these songs !
Karen's stunning vocals, simply divine.
Great picture sleeve photograph !
but I do so love the arrangement on Solitaire (that is, the single version).
But, then, the flip's arrangement is fantastic, too.
Solitaire is longer, so that will be the decisive factor for my choice.
Both of these songs have two entirely different readings and yearnings but I thought the time of the season would have brought Love Me For What I Am to the forefront but the added instruments in Solitaire really helped it, but not all stations played the single version. I never thought we would have had to choose between them. With the Sadaka fallout, the flip side may have soared higher, but my parents really loved Solitaire claiming it her best song, which in many ways, it was up to the summer of 1975. Both are stellar, but I chose the flip side. Still today, they are both great classic songs.
Jamesj75 and A&M Retro like this.
I chose 'Solitaire' because it's one of Karen's best performances EVER and it's pretty hard to beat. I still remember hearing the single version on family vacation on a jukebox at Lake Of The Ozarks, and flipping out. Richard's additions on 'Solitaire' really gave it more 'punch'.
Love Me For What I Am' is great, as well. Karen's vocals are almost painfully intimate and, again, she belts it as only Karen could.
"Solitaire". "Love Me For What I Am" is an above-average album cut with a knockout chorus and instrumental break, but it's not the masterpiece that "Solitaire" is. This is the Carpenters single that I've grown to like more and more over time.
Gotta go with the a-side, "Solitaire", but only for the single mix. I recall hearing "my" station play the album version (you know, "cleaner album vinyl sounds better" mentality), and the record never really grabbed me. The timing of release was a little suspect too, with this not exactly being a classic summer song. It took years for me to finally hear the single version when it was placed on GOLD and the tiny changes made all the difference in the world.
Back in school we used to get little awards for "most improved" student in a subject (I got one for History, which I hated at the time). "Solitaire" gets my vote for "Most Improved Carpenters Song".
"Love Me For What I Am" is simply a decent album track, no more - a standard choice for a b-side.
Jamesj75 and byline like this.
It took years for me to finally hear the single version when it was placed on GOLD and the tiny changes made all the difference in the world.
I'd agree with that 100%, so I voted A side for the single mix. One of Karen's finest performances.
The B side has always jarred with me because of the double tracking of Karen's vocal on the choruses. For me that spoils an otherwise lovely song. Richard has said that if they'd finished Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again, he would have had Karen double her vocal on the choruses on that track as well. I'm so glad he didn't because that would have ruined it. Instead he added a subtle effect to simulate double tracking (he had no other choice) and it's much more effective. I just wish he'd done the same with this song.
Jamesj75, Mary Beth and Chris May like this.
Gosh, I had to pull out the 45-single and re-listen to both sides !
And, I still love both songs.
both in Karen's delivery and the outstanding arrangement.
that is, lyrical content, vocal delivery and arrangement.
(not including the LP Quad version).
Solitaire is just exquisite. Everything about it. Both of 'em at their best. Not single material though. . .probably should have been Happy which would've cracked the top 10, I reckon.
Greg and Jamesj75 like this.
It's funny, I'm not in general a huge fan of the over-use of double-tracking on Karen's vocals ('I Won't Last a Day Without You' is particularly badly served on this front), but I don't really mind it on 'Love Me For What I Am'. Perhaps the simple opening using just Karen's vocals and then the piano means the doubling seems more excusable as it allows the sound to 'build' on the chorus compared to the more intimate verses.
'Love Me For What I Am' is by far my favourite of the two and is in my eyes one of their most underrated tracks. I originally rather overlooked it due to its unfortunate placing on the Horizon tracklisting directly after the similar-sounding 'Goodbye and I Love You', but of late it's become one of my favourites. Whilst it does contain a few 'template' features like Tony Peluso's guitar break, it's a lovely lyric that Karen performs with a real directness. The more adult tone of the song might have given them a bit more traction at radio too, and in hindsight I think this should perhaps have been the A side instead of 'Solitaire'.
'Solitaire' obviously has its fans, but it's always left me cold. It's just too slow and downbeat - the single mix improves this a little, but not enough to solve the problem. I don't much care for any version of the song sung by anyone, but it might actually be a case of a track that stays for too long in Karen's lower register - the register jumps on 'a lonely man' and 'up in smoke' in the verses have always sounded quite awkward when it then descends right back to the basement again and stays there until the chorus.
So funny you should say that Stephen, because the choruses are my reason as well for not particularly enjoying this track more. It isn't so much the actual vocal double itself that bothers me, as it is the chorus/phaser that is added to those vocals during the chorus. Not sure why on earth Richard opted for that effect, as Karen's voice had some phasing naturally during a double anyway (as is usually the case with anyone that doubles themselves).
Could have been the newer technology, with studio "D" having just been constructed and the installation of the Compumix system. Given their push to start becoming a little more progressive anyway, it may explain the logic.
It's the phasing effect that bothers me Chris, thanks for elaborating as that's what I was trying to say in my earlier post. The song didn't need that.
I always thought the doubling of Karen's voice in LMFWIA made her sound robotic and metallic-like, it takes away from the feeling of the lyrics because she sounds so artificial. It could be the phasing effect that others are mentioning, but whatever it is I don't like it. A great reading from her though, and I love how intimate not only she sounds emotionally, but technically with the mic - after she sings "if what you want.." you hear the spit/mouth noise at the end of "want", and it is sounds like she's right beside you, moreso than usual. I do think Goodbye and I Love You is a better song and should have been the b-side here. If it didn't turn out to be perfection in the 90s (with a harder sound), then I would have actually replaced Love Me on Horizon with Tryin to Get the Feeling Again.
Solitaire wins it for me. Yeah it's slow but it doesn't plod or feel sterile. The arrangement is towering and Karen truly does give one of, if not the best, performance of her career. The shades of darkness she infuses into the words make them come alive and her innately melancholy tones have never fit a song better. I love Desperado a lot more but on both we hear her belt with power and vigor and it's a shame that this powerful strength and depth slowly evaporated after 1975 (I believe both by choice to sound feminine/higher and because her weakening body simply couldn't do it anymore).
K.C. Jr and Mark-T like this.
Neither song falls into my list of favorites but I like Solitaire the better of the two. I have to admit I liked Neil Sedaka's version better than the Carpenters' though.
I wonder if there is a track anywhere of singing the first set and I wonder why it was never included, at least in the second section.
The finished track was over four minutes long. Maybe Richard decided against the extra verse so it wouldn't end up nearer five when it came to radio play?
I've thought of LMFWIA as a Declaration of Independence of sorts- a one step further beyond This Masquerade. Bold, self-aware and mature. It's a great album cut.
I thought it was the second half of the chorus and it could have been substituted after the second verse. With the added edits on the single with added instruments it may have had an even stronger effect.?
For us non-musicians, can someone give a second-by-second breakdown on where the sonic differences occur between the album and single versions of Solitaire? I've listened to both back-to-back repeatedly but am struggling to notice any differences. It's probably due to my noisy, less than ideal listening environment, but more likely it's because I'm not discerning enough to hear any differences unless someone points it out to me.
I ended up buying the single also - because I really liked the organ addition... Glad it finally came out in CD format years later on Gold.
I think we heard that Karen didn't love the track which bothers me a little... but eventually, didn't we heat she came around??
You mean that between the two you can not hear the organ on the single version? As I recall the organ starts at the first chorus. And the organ is not that far in the background, is mixed pretty forward. Richard and Karen removed the organ completely on the album cut.


Carl Kruse remains on break but his friend Daniela Frewa would like to tell you about "No More Tears," a non-profit organization that aids victims of domestic violence, most who tend to be dis proportionally women and children. The person who founded No More Tears, Somy Ali, is an amazing woman who has dedicated her life to helping others. Nobody in the organization makes a salary, and 100% of all funds go directly to the programs that help victims. These programs include the cost of doctors, immigration lawyers, rent, food, basic needs products, and often English lessons, driving lessons, and courses to help with job placement.
This year Daniela (Carl Kruse 's friend) has decided to organize a large event to raise funds for No More Tears to take place in September. Until then, the organizing committee is focused on promotional event opportunities that will help spread the word about this cause.
The first event will take place Thursday, February 28th at Jimmy Choo, at the Shops at Merrick Park in Miami. Somy will give a short speech about No More Tears and Jimmy Choo ( Miami )has agreed to donate a percentage of all purchases to No More Tears. So if you were thinking of getting some bling-bling shoes now is the time to do it and help a great organization at the same time.
The committee is tasked with bringing a great crowd to this event, it's possible that Jimmy Choo will want to do more events with No More Tears which would be a wonderful opportunity.
Aside from hoping that you can join us, it would be great if you could share this invitation with any friends/clients/acquaintances that might be interested in shopping at Jimmy Choo. If they don't want to come to the event or can't make it, they can still shop (any day until the 28th) and mention No More Tears or show the invitation and the percentage will still be donated.
If you cannot attend, or have limited interest in Jimmy Choo, it would be great if you could consider a direct donation to No More Tears. No amount is too small.

Review: Tim Burton's 'Dumbo' will be soaring for many years to come
Mick LaSalleMarch 26, 2019Updated: March 28, 2019, 2:43 pm

Tim Burton's "Dumbo" begins its journey this week, but it will be with us for a long time. Like the original 1941 "Dumbo," from Walt Disney, this movie will probably outlast every single person connected with it and will move and delight children who haven't yet been born — and maybe their kids, too.
It's a lovely children's movie, which isn't to say that every moment of it is splendid and enchanted, because that's not the case. The experience of watching "Dumbo" is more like, "This is OK, this is all very pleasant" — and then suddenly, there are tears in your eyes, and not from allergy season. There is just something very potent in the whole "Dumbo" thing, in Dumbo as a concept. Burton and screenwriter Ehren Kruger take that concept and maximize it for the 21st century.
This "Dumbo" is different from the 1941 film, in ways beyond the obvious, that the original was animated and the new one is live action, and the old one had songs, and this one doesn't. This new "Dumbo" has an almost entirely new story, but one that retains the three essential elements — that Dumbo is a big-eared elephant who can fly, that he is born into a circus and that he becomes separated from his mother.
The fact that he's an elephant is key. If Dumbo were a flying tiger, the movie would not have nearly the same impact. Everyone knows: Elephants are nice. They're big enough to cause a lot of trouble, but they don't. They're smart, and they're sensitive, and they've really gotten the shaft from human beings, and for many years, and in ways that are disgraceful. Some of our awareness of all that colors our perception of Dumbo. We worry about him more than we worry about most protagonists.
The film is set in 1918. A father (Colin Farrell) comes home from World War I, to his two children, who've also been separated from their mother — she died in the terrible flu epidemic. He works in the circus, where one day an elephant gives birth to a very big-eared elephant, Dumbo. The baby elephant's ability to fly with his flapping ears is discovered by the children and eventually comes to the attention of the circus owner (Danny DeVito), who sees an opportunity to pull his failing circus out of debt.
The original "Dumbo" was a fable not unlike "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in its general idea, of an underdog's achieving status within his circle for the very thing that once made him an outcast. The new "Dumbo" takes another direction, by following the logical chain of events that might occur if an elephant really could fly.
Things would snowball, wouldn't they? A dingy little circus wouldn't be able to hold him. Others would swoop down, such as the owner of a bigger circus (Michael Keaton), followed by investment bankers. And these people would care less about the animal and absolutely nothing about the unfortunate incident — the details don't matter — that led to Dumbo's mother being carted off. So, if we felt sorry for the animated Dumbo, we really care about this CGI Dumbo, which looks entirely, amazingly real.
Indeed, computer graphics have advanced to the point that it almost escapes mention that while watching "Dumbo" we really do believe that a baby elephant can fly. Graphics have gone to the next stage, where our first impulse is to talk about the emotional content of such visuals, not the fact that they exist at all.
For example, several of the flying scenes are quite tense. Dumbo is raised on a small platform to the top of the circus tent, and we worry that he's going to fall off or not be able to fly. He's partnered in these scenes with a French trapeze artist and barebacked rider, played by Eva Green, and she really does seem to be riding an elephant.

As an added plus, "Dumbo" is a good movie for Green, whose natural air of authority has too often led her to be typed as a one-note femme fatale. Though the elephant is the main attraction here, this might be the fullest, warmest showcase Green has had since she played Vesper in "Casino Royale."
But can we talk about Dumbo's performance, too? Perhaps not, because there is no performance. Dumbo is a computer illusion, as intangible as the animated Dumbo. That means that it would make no sense to praise Dumbo for acting or being so adorable that the whole audience wants to pat him on the head.
Still, some artists made him that way and, whoever they are, they did a beautiful job.

Q: How to get a button on Facebook post that opens an app directly? I´ve seen some Facebook posts that include a native button which opens the corresponding app to the Facebook page that created the post.
When the app is not installed, it links out to the App Store. When it is installed, it deeplinks into the app to the desired content.
How can I achieve this? I searched for some information about this, but couldn´t find any.

A: you have to try the App Links functionality that Facebook provide. In the developer page teach how to create and use this and you will see the flow when somebody press a post for example and how the redirection is produced:

I was bringing two bags of groceries to our local food bank when a couple with their young daughter stepped into the elevator with me. They were loaded with bags including paper towels and food. They also had piles of toiletries to donate, so much so, that they needed to bring their car around and get some help. Where did all this bounty come from? Their little girl who looked around ten or eleven had asked for donations to this food bank instead of birthday gifts.
My son and his best friend did this for their 10th birthday. Instead of gifts, they asked for dog toys and collars for a local dog shelter. They delivered it themselves and were allowed to play with the dogs. It was the best birthday ever!
Here are five ideas for kids to change the world by donating to these charities. I picked organizations whose missions would resonate with kids. And even a very small donation can change someone's life. These are gifts that give back more: they teach children gratitude. And it turns out that gratitude is the fastest path to happiness.
1. Light is Life. A soccer ball provides light.
Soccket, a soccer ball that generates renewable energy for kids in developing countries. This ball produces electricity for light so kids and adults can read and function when it gets dark. A little bit of power can make such a huge difference.
The Soccket Education Kit is $199 or a more comprehensive set is $299.
2. Rescue youth in the most desperate situations in the world.
The HALO Foundation helps homeless and at-risk youth heal and create a future through art therapy.
othing, education, art therapy, caretakers, and vocational training or college for youth in the greatest need. Domestically, HALO operates Learning Centers and TLP (housing) programs in Kansas City, and Jefferson City, Missouri, and programming in New York, Portland, and Los Angeles.
4. Your $15 Dollar Donation Feeds a Child Lunch for the Entire Year in India, thus breaking the cycle of poverty in which kids have to work in order to eat.
My neighbor told me about Akshava Pata. She interviewed the founder for an article in The Boston Globe. She and her husband are both from India so she understands the issue around food and education for children. Her kids held two bake sales to raise money for this charity that feeds children in India. Rather than attend school, many children in India must work to earn their daily meal. The result? Poor health and educational outcomes that trap them in the cycle of poverty. A mere $15 donation feeds a child lunch for the entire school year. This organization procures, makes and distributes the meals to 1.5 million school children every day. If you want a charity where your money is hugely impactful, please consider Askhava Pata.
5. Of the 250,000 children and 8,000 youth enrolled in Magic Bus, 98% of girls make it to high school and 71% of all children graduate high school and go on to college, against a national average of 9% in India!
Magic Bus Foundation: a non-profit that lifts communities in India out of poverty by creating youth leaders while utilizing the power of play. They work with local partners to educate and employ these youth, maximizing their potential and breaking the cycle of poverty.
Here's how to start a fundraising campaign for Magic Bus Foundation. An easy way is for kids to ask for donations in lieu of birthday or holiday gifts.
p.s. Here are more ideas for kids to make an impact in the world by donating to charity or doing service work.
Excellent post. I love what your son did for the dog shelter. Your kids are part of the alpha generation, a very compassionate group of kids. I liked your sharing info on supporting a child in poverty. We supported kids in Haiti to go to school on a monthly basis through an organization. It helps children get to know that money is helping send a child to school, receive a good meal, receive school supplies and a uniform, and receive vaccinations. We were able to send gift boxes of things the kids needed. Really enjoyed your post today. It certainly encourages kids and families to do something for someone else.
These are wonderful, Mia! Thank you so much for sharing them!
Thanks so much Maria! I hope my kids will find a charity to support on an ongoing basis.

Q: Idea behind this way of showing injectivity in a certain proof I would show injectivity of the function $h$ by showing $f(C) \cap A-C = \emptyset$. This is true, because $f(C) = f(\bigcup\limits_{n\geq 0} f^n(A-B)) = \bigcup\limits_{n\geq 1} f^n(A-B) \subset C$ and $ A-C \cap C = \emptyset$. $f$ and $id_{A-C}$ are both injective and were are done.
But what is the author's idea ? In other words, how do
$A-B \subset C$,$ f(C) \subset C$,$f^m(A-B) \cap f^n(A-B) = \emptyset, n > m \geq 0$,$f$ is one-one imply the injectivity of $h$ and why is this "better" here?

DDA housing draw delayed, to be held on Nov 10
DDA has received more than 8.5 lakh applications for its biggest housing scheme with 25,034 flats on offer
Source : Hindustan Times
Tag:Delhi Development Authority|DDA Housing Scheme
New Delhi: The draw of lots for the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) housing scheme 2014 will now be held on November 10 instead of November 5, as scheduled earlier.
The delay is due to the slow pace at which data of applications are being uploaded. DDA has received more than 8.5 lakh applications for its biggest housing scheme with 25,034 flats on offer.
Raju Kumar, a businessman, has applied for the housing scheme and has been in a state of apprehension for the past fortnight. His apprehension is not about landing a flat in the draw of lots but if at all his application has been accepted.
Though the scheme was closed on October 15, details of only a few lakh applications have been uploaded on DDA's website.
"I submitted my application on October 4 at the bank from which I financed the registration amount of Rs. 1 lakh. To date, the DDA website says no data can be found," Kumar said. "I'm not sure if my application have been accepted at all or not," he said.
Kumar is only one of the many lakhs of applicants who are in a state of confusion. The delay in status update of the applications also means there will be no time to rectify mistakes or shortcomings, if any.
The DDA has decided to delay the draw of lots so that applicants have sufficient time to make amends in applications if needed.
DDA vice-chairman Balvinder Kumar said the status of all applicants would be made available by October 31, while blaming the empanelled banks for the delay.
"We have given time to the banks till October 30 to put all data on website so that it is available to applicants by October 31," he said. He said show cause notices have been issued to some banks for delaying the process.
"They were asking for time till November 5 but we have said we will take strict action if data is not updated by October 31. Once the data is uploaded, we would tell the public to check details and correct mistakes if there are any. Change in selection of flats wouldn't be allowed though," he said.Applicants would be given three days to verify details and banks would be given two days to rectify mistakes. "We will delay our draw if needed but applicants would be given sufficient time to make changes in applications if needed," he said.

The Greek Marinas Association has announced the launch of a two-year tourism projection plan for recreational tourism and the promotion of marinas through inter-company channels in specialized markets.
According to the announcement, the main objective of the project is twofold: on the one hand, the collective promotion and promotion of the services of the Association's members at the international level and, on the other hand, the strategic contribution of the Union to the development and promotion of recreational tourism as one highly dynamic tourist product for the whole territory.
The result of the project will be to develop a realistic, detailed and cost-effective action plan based on specific priority axes such as research and analysis of tourism data, product development and experience planning, promotion and promotion as well as strategic partnerships. The Action Plan is expected to be completed this year and will be based on a thorough analysis of international and domestic trends, an assessment of international competition and a specific market targeting.
It is also noteworthy that it is equally important and beneficial in the short term that it is the action to strengthen the presence of Marinas Association in selected international exhibitions through the development of a specialized Travel Trade Manual and the implementation of a campaign in (B2B) level, with modern, high-quality visual and verbal content.
The contractor of this project, through a competitive procedure, is TOPOSOPHY, a business unit of the Atcom Group, with extensive experience in tourism promotion and promotion projects both in Greece and abroad.
