The occupants of 301 East 66 th St. always knew Ehud Barak was there by the gaudy autoes parked outside and burly security guards in the vestibule. The former Israeli prime minster's visits were an open secret among the tenants of the Upper East Side building, which is owned by Jeffrey Epstein's younger brother.
Several occupants of 301 East 66 th St. told The Daily Beast they had experience Barak in the building multiple times over the last few years, and nearly half a dozen more described running into his security detail. The building is majority-owned by Epstein's younger friend, Mark, and has been tied to the financier's alleged New York trafficking ring.
When asked about his stays at 301 E. 66 th Street, Barak told The Daily Beast," Despite the fact that there was no wrongdoing on my part, and that there is not even the faintest skepticism of wrongdoing on my own part, I'm not going to address these questions because in the current political milieu in Israel, the mere detail of my response to such a question is churned up as revolve in the political activity ."
" As a former prime minister I'm accompanied by defenders everywhere I extend ," he added.
While the Israeli politician has tried to play down his ties to Jeffrey Epstein since the billionaire's indictment on attacks of child sex trafficking, Barak became a fixture of the Epstein story after Israeli stores reported he had received more than$ 3 million in remittances from Epstein-connected establishments since 2004.
The former prime minister was also photographed leaving Epstein's Upper East Side mansion in 2016 and has acknowledged visiting the billionaire's private Caribbean island, where Epstein is accused of hosting sprees with underage daughters.
Barak has repeatedly disclaimed any knowledge of Eptsein's alleged crimes and maintains he never so much as talked to the financier in the presence of underage females. In a previous interview with The Daily Beast, Barak he was first introduced to the financier by Israeli leader Shimon Peres in 2002, and assured Epstein only " on occasion " after that.
" I &# x27; ve never been there at "states parties " ," he said." To the contrary, at his house, I assemble numerous very respected people, scientists, Nobel prize winner winners, and I met him also in Boston, at MIT or the Harvard labs he supports ."
Residents of 301 East 66 th St. described Barak as a frequent spirit at their 16 -story building. One occupant said she saw and recognized the statesman in the hall, while another said he was identified to her by a doorman or fellow resident.
Five other present and former residents said they had not seen Barak in person, but pictured his security detail around the building on multiple moments. One echoed travelling in the elevator with protectors speaking Hebrew, while another said she regularly saw someone posted outside an 11 th-floor apartment. Another woman withdrew seeing the security detail in the vestibule at least a dozen times.
" When he wasn't in his apartment,[ the security guards] would hang out in the vestibule as if it was their own living room ," one disgruntled tenant withdrawn." They would sprawl out, they'd apply all their shit on the sofas, and sometimes they chew on the table there ."
The majority of the human rights unit in the building are owned by Ossa Belongings, a real estate company started by Mark Epstein. The younger Epstein has admitted to renting out apartments to Jeffrey for personal give, but maintains that his brother has no ownership stake in the building. When a Daily Beast reporter called for further mention, Mark Epstein hung up.
In 2010, a former bookkeeper for Mc2–the sit agency owned by Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel–told the FBI that the 66 th St. suites were being used to house underage girlfriends from South America, Europe and the former Soviet Union. In a sworn statement obtained by the Miami Herald , the bookkeeper claimed Brunel was transmitting the girls to Epstein's parties or loaning them out to affluent clients to be molested.
Brad Edwards, an attorney for various of Epstein's victims, developed many of the same charges in a deposition later that year.
" Those females get drive visas to say that they're prototypes, but actually they are prostituted out by Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel, correct ?" Edwards requested Adriana Ross, one of Epstein's former auxiliaries." And many businessmen and politicians around New York and Washington D.C. go to these accommodations regularly and have sex with underage children, is that true ?"
Ross, who has been accused of helping orchestrate Epstein's "massages," cited her right against self-incrimination and declined to reply.
Epstein's captain, Larry Visoski, said during a 2009 deposition that he was paid via a company located at 301 East 66 th St ., from Epstein &# x27; s longtime accountant Darren Indyke.( Property records indicate Indyke lived in the building until at least 2000.) Visoski claimed Lesley Groff–an assistant of Epstein's who is accused of helping him procure underage girls–also worked out of the building.
Sarah Kellen, another auxiliary who was accused of helping schedule Epstein's "massages," flowed an interior design firm out of the building as recently as 2015. Nadia Marcinkova, who was accused of participating in sex meetings with Epstein's underage daughters, registered an aviation business to the 66 th St. built in 2011. Property records show Marcinkova's suite was also located on the 11 th floor.
Last year, an Israeli investigate columnist received information that Barak received about $ 2.4 million in 2004 from the Wexner Foundation, where Epstein was both a regent and major donor. Epstein too reportedly expended$ 1 million in Barak's technology start-up, Carbyne, in 2015 — almost a decade after the billionaire pleaded guilty to soliciting an udnerage prostitute.
Barak has said he is looking into how to extricate Epstein from Carbyne's finances. He has refused to expand on the work he did for the Wexner Foundation, other than to say that he" did what I committed to do ."
" I perform research and geopolitical consulting for a lot of interested defendants ," he previously told The Daily Beast." It is up to them if they want to discuss it ."
Still, the dispute has followed the statesman throughout Israel's elections, where Barak is running to supersede current Israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. Earlier this month, Netanyahu–who is facing accusation in various bribery cases himself–called for an investigation into Barak's rapport with Epstein. In a complaint to the Israeli attorney general, a advocate for Netanyahu's party recommended the Wexner Foundation could constitute illegal foreign donations.
Barak responded with a joking tweet.
" It pains me to be acknowledged that people I know are in trouble with the laws and regulations ," he wrote." First Netanyahu , now Epstein. My wish for them both is that the truth will out. Period ."

Intestacy Solicitors & No Will Probate
If someone dies without a valid will, their estate becomes subject to the rules of intestacy. Under these rules only married or civil partners and sometimes specific close relatives can inherit from the estate.
With the expertise and specialism that is fundamental to this area of law, Clifford Johnston & Co. can provide in depth legal advice on intestacy and its effect on any inheritance so contact us today on 0161 975 1900.
Intestacy Rules
Anyone that dies without a valid will is known as an intestate person, and the rules of intestacy will determine how their assets must be shared out.
If you are married or in a civil partnership but have no children you will inherit all personal items and the entire proceeds of the estate of your deceased spouse of civil partner.
If you are married or in a civil partnership and have children you will receive everything in the estate of your deceased spouse including personal possessions up to the first £250,000. Anything over and above the £250,000 threshold is then divided between the spouse or civil partner (known as the residuary estate) and the children. For any children under the age of 18, the money will be held in a trust.
If the deceased was not married or in a civil partnership , the estate will pass in order of priority to:
- Children or grandchildren
- Parents
- Siblings or their children
- Half siblings or their children
- Grandparents
- Aunts and uncles or their children
- Half aunts and uncles or their children
If there are no surviving relatives, your estate will pass to the Crown.
Exceptions to Intestacy Rules
The following exceptions to these intestacy rules are also strictly adhered to if there is no will:
- Any property, bank account or business interest that is held jointly with another party will automatically pass to the surviving owner(s).
- A named beneficiary on a life insurance policy or pension scheme will receive those funds.
- Any money held in trust, will pass to the person(s) named in the legal documentation known as the trust instrument.
It is also possible to alter the way an estate is divided when there is no will as long as all the people who would inherit under the rules of intestacy agree. This is known as making a deed of family arrangement or variation and must be done within two years of the death.
How can we help when an estate in Intestate?
Dealing with an estate where there is no will can be time-consuming and challenging, particularly in complex cases including where:
- There are trust funds involved.
- A family home has to be sold in order for the assets to be divided between beneficiaries.
- Complicated family relationships mean that distributing the estate according to the rules of intestacy are difficult.
- A deed of family arrangement is required.
- A claim needs to be made on behalf of step-children or unmarried partners, who are not recognised by the rules of intestacy.
- If the deceased was separated but not formerly divorced and their previous partner has a claim on the estate according to the roles of intestacy.
The role of an estate administrator, where there is no will, can be demanding and stressful particularly as they can be held liable for any financial loss made due to an oversight or error.
At Clifford Johnson & Co. we aim to take away the burden and responsibility, at what is an already difficult time. We aim to relieve the level of emotional stress you are under and can effectively and efficiently administer the estate on your behalf, taking on both the responsibility and liability involved. We will liaise with all the relevant agencies including HMRC and the local authority, continually keeping you updated on our progress.

Hi, jare21.
Thanks for posting, and welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear that your QC30s aren't powering on.
It's worth resetting your headset. To do this:
Also, when you press and hold the button, does the LED show any sign of life? How about when the battery is charging?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Patrick A - Community Support
hank you for your attempt to assist me with my issue. I found the problem. The only problem was that the outside rubber was not not making contact with the on/off switch. Now, I have to lift the rubber and press directly to the metal of the switch. I wonder if this issue can be fixed.
Hi jare21,
I'm glad you could temporarily fix your problem, however, I'd like to take a few more details so we can look into getting a more permanent fix.
I'm going to send you a Private Message, please look out for this.

Remarks by President George W. Bush at SMU's 100th Spring Commencement Convocation
Source: Bush Center, Saturday, May 16, 2015
SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY, MOODY COLISEUM, DALLAS, TEXAS (May 16, 2015) —
Thank you. Thank you very much. President Turner, thanks. Members of the Board of Trustees, Provost Ludden, faculty, staff, distinguished guests, parents, and—most importantly—the Class of 2015. (Applause.) Thank you for your warm welcome, and I appreciate the invitation to be with you.
You know, when I mentioned this speech to some pals, they were surprised I was going to give it. (Laughter.) I haven't given a commencement address since leaving office. You know, my decision is quite practical. So I got a call from my landlord – (laughter) – Gerald Turner. (Laughter.) Rather than raising the rent or threatening to withhold our security deposit – (laughter) – I was relieved to hear President Turner ask if I believed in free speech. (Applause.) I said yeah. He said, "Perfect. Here's your chance to give one." (Laughter and applause.)
As a proud member of the SMU community, I am honored to be here – truly honored – to deliver the 100th Spring Commencement address. I admire President Turner's persuasiveness – (laughter) – and leadership. He runs a fantastic university. (Applause.) It is dynamic, diverse, and destined for continued excellence. He has assembled a strong administrative team. He is supported by engaged alumni, and he has an outstanding Board of Trustees.
I'm fortunate to know many of the trustees. (Laughter.) Well, for example I'm good friends with the Chairman, Mike Boone. And there's one trustee I know really well – (laughter) -a proud graduate of the SMU Class of 1968 who went on to become our nation's greatest First Lady. (Applause.) Do me a favor and don't tell Mother. (Laughter.) I know how much the trustees love and care for this great university. I see it firsthand when I attend the Bring-Your-Spouse-Night Dinners. (Laughter.)
I also get to drop by classes on occasion. I am really impressed by the intelligence and energy of the SMU faculty. I want to thank you for your dedication and thank you for sharing your knowledge with your students.
To reach this day, the graduates have had the support of loving families. Some of them love you so much they are watching from overflow sites across campus. (Laughter.) I congratulate the parents who have sacrificed to make this moment possible. It is a glorious day when your child graduates from college — and a really great day for your bank account. (Laughter and applause.) I know the members of the Class of 2015 will join me in thanking you for your love and your support. (Applause.)
Most of all, I congratulate the members of the Class of 2015. You worked hard to reach this milestone. You leave with lifelong friends and fond memories. You will always remember how much you enjoyed the right to buy a required campus meal plan. (Laughter.) You'll remember your frequent battles with the Park 'N' Pony Office. (Laughter.) And you may or may not remember those productive nights at the Barley House. (Laughter and applause.)
You were founding members of the mighty SMU Mob, bouncing like mad and watching in wonder as your then-Student Body President, Señor Lobster – (laughter) – danced with joy after all those Pony victories right here in Moody. (Applause.) And you'll think back to those carefree fall game days on the Boulevard – though I don't recall seeing too many of you in the football stadium. (Laughter.)
To those of you who are graduating this afternoon with high honors, awards, and distinctions, I say, "well done." And as I like to tell the "C" students: You, too, can be President. (Laughter and applause.)
After four years of sitting through lectures, I have a feeling you're not in the mood for another one. (Laughter.) What I have learned about graduation speeches is that they're too long and rarely remembered. So I'll keep this short. I just can't attest to how memorable it will be.
I've also learned that it's important to refer to someone associated with the University. So I picked one, an SMU trustee (who by the way is not here), Reverend Mark Craig. Now, I asked Mark to deliver the sermon at the First United Methodist Church in Austin before my second inauguration as Governor of Texas. I still remember his Fort Worth twang as he talked about Moses. God called Moses to action, and Moses repeatedly found excuses not to act. "Who am I that I should go to Pharoah, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt? Oh, my Lord, I pray, send some other person. I have sheep to tend. And the people won't believe me — I'm not a very good speaker."
Moses wasn't the only one who could mangle his language. (Laughter.) [Inaudible.]
Fortunately, Moses recognized the call to serve something greater than himself. He answered the call, led his people, and history was made.
You, too, will be called at some point. The question, as Mark aptly and artfully laid out, is: Will you be optimistic and hopeful, or pessimistic and cynical? Here are three reasons why you should be optimistic and hopeful.
One, you are graduating from a great university. Your SMU degree will open the door to a wide variety of career options. Millions will never have had this opportunity. SMU has laid a foundation so you can reason, and continue to learn throughout your life. It has given you the tools to be productive citizens.
One of the great strengths of America is our active public square. Issues are influenced by the will of the people. That is why an educated citizenry is so important to the success of our country. As SMU graduates, you are well-equipped to participate in these vital debates. My hope is that you speak out on the issues that matter to you. Participate in your Nation's civic life as citizens, not spectators. You'll come to learn that who you are is more important than what you have—and that you have responsibilities to your fellow citizens, your country, and your family. By taking part in American democracy, you will make our country stronger.
Secondly, you are blessed to live in the greatest Nation – ever. (Applause.) Here you can strive and succeed as far as you dare to dream. It says something about our country that millions around the world are willing to leave their homes and families and risk everything to come here and realize the American dream. Their pursuit of that dream invigorates our national soul. It renews our country's character. And it adds vitality to our culture.
You live in a land that is compassionate and decent. Because we believe in the rights and dignity of our own citizenry, we are committed to defending the rights and dignity of people everywhere. America has liberated millions around the world from tyranny and terror. We've helped turn the tide against deadly disease in places like Africa. In our hearts we believe all are created equal under God. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is Almighty God's gift to humanity.
At home, there are thousands of platoons in the Army of compassion working to honor those beliefs. No matter what your career path, enlist. When you help another, you enrich your heart, and you strengthen the fabric of our collective goodness.
Many of you have already made service a priority in your lives by volunteering during winter, spring, and summer breaks; and completing more than one-hundred community projects through Engaged Learning. I thank you for recognizing the timeless truth: of those to whom much is given, much is required.
As you serve others, you can inspire others. I've been inspired by the examples of many selfless servants. Winston Churchill, a leader of courage and resolve, inspired me during my Presidency—and, for that matter, in the post-presidency. Like Churchill, I now paint. (Laughter.) Unlike Churchill, the painting isn't worth much without the signature. (Laughter.)
In 1941, he gave a speech to the students of his old school during Britain's most trying times in World War II. It wasn't too long, and it is well-remembered. Prime Minister Churchill urged, "Never give in … in nothing, great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."
I hope you'll remember this advice. But there's a lesser-known passage from that speech that I also want to share with you:
"These are not dark days. These are great days. The greatest our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race."
When Churchill uttered these words, many had lost hope in Great Britain's chance for survival against the Nazis. Many doubted the future of freedom. Today, some doubt America's future, and they say our best days are behind us. I say, given our strengths—one of which is a bright new generation like you—these are not dark days. These are great days.
And finally, you can be hopeful because there is a loving God. Whether you agree with that statement or not is your choice. It is not your government's choice. It is essential – (applause). It is essential to this nation's future that we remember that the freedom to worship who we want, and how we want—or not worship at all—is a core belief of our founding.
I have made my choice. I believe that the Almighty's grace and unconditional love will sustain you. I believe it will bring you joy amidst the trials of life. It will enable you to better see the beauty around you. It will provide a solid foundation amidst a rapidly changing, somewhat impersonal, technologically-driven world. It will show you how to love your neighbor, forgive more easily, and approach success with humility—and failure without fear.
It will inspire you to honor your parents and eventually be a better spouse and parent yourself. It will help you fully grasp the value of life—all life. It will remind you that money, power, and fame are false idols. And I hope and believe that God's love will inspire you to serve others.
I want to thank you for letting me share this special day with you. I wish you all the very best. Stay in touch with your friends. Love your family. Treat this day as a step toward a lifetime of learning. And go forth with confidence. May God bless you. (Applause.)

Full Text February 10, 2012: President Barack Obama's Speech Announces New Policy Compromise on Contraception Health Plan Coverage Rule
President Obama Announces New Policy to Improve Access to Contraception
Source: WH, 2-10-12
President Barack Obama, with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius behind him, announces a new health care policy that requires a woman's insurance company to offer contraceptive care free of charge if the woman's religious employer objects to providing contraceptive services as part of its health plan coverage. The announcement was made in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, Jan. 12, 2012. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
Today, President Obama announced a policy that will accommodate religious freedom while making sure that women have access to preventive health care, including contraception, at no additional cost, no matter where they work.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, most health insurance companies will cover women's preventive care — services like well-woman visits, mammograms, immunizations, as well as contraception — without charging a co-pay or deductible beginning in August 2012.
Churches had already been exempted from providing employees with health care that covered contraception. The new policy announced today ensures that if a woman works for other types of religious employers with objections to providing contraceptive services as part of their health plan, the religious employer will not be required to provide, pay for or refer for contraception coverage.
Instead her insurance company will be required to directly offer her contraceptive care at no additional charge, as President Obama explained:
Under the rule, women will still have access to free preventive care that includes contraceptive services — no matter where they work. So that core principle remains. But if a woman's employer is a charity or a hospital that has a religious objection to providing contraceptive services as part of their health plan, the insurance company — not the hospital, not the charity — will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive care free of charge, without co-pays and without hassles.
Covering contraception is cost neutral for insurance companies since it saves money by keeping women healthy and preventing spending on other health services. The President said that nearly 99 percent of all women have relied on contraception at some point in their lives, but more than half of women between the ages of 18 and 34 have struggled to afford it.
Neither cost nor employer should dictate a woman's ability to make choices about her own health, the President said:
Whether you're a teacher, or a small businesswoman, or a nurse, or a janitor, no woman's health should depend on who she is or where she works or how much money she makes. Every woman should be in control of the decisions that affect her own health. Period.
Read more about the policy announced today here.
Remarks by the President on Preventive Care
James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
Q Here we go.
THE PRESIDENT: Here we go.
Q Here he is.
THE PRESIDENT: Here I am.
Q "Hello, everybody."
THE PRESIDENT: That was pretty good.
Q I've been working on that.
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. (Laughter.) I was actually going to say good morning. But I guess it's afternoon by now.
As part of the health care reform law that I signed last year, all insurance plans are required to cover preventive care at no cost. That means free check-ups, free mammograms, immunizations and other basic services. We fought for this because it saves lives and it saves money –- for families, for businesses, for government, for everybody. That's because it's a lot cheaper to prevent an illness than to treat one.
We also accepted a recommendation from the experts at the Institute of Medicine that when it comes to women, preventive care should include coverage of contraceptive services such as birth control. In addition to family planning, doctors often prescribe contraception as a way to reduce the risks of ovarian and other cancers, and treat a variety of different ailments. And we know that the overall cost of health care is lower when women have access to contraceptive services.
Nearly 99 percent of all women have relied on contraception at some point in their lives –- 99 percent. And yet, more than half of all women between the ages of 18 and 34 have struggled to afford it. So for all these reasons, we decided to follow the judgment of the nation's leading medical experts and make sure that free preventive care includes access to free contraceptive care.
Whether you're a teacher, or a small businesswoman, or a nurse, or a janitor, no woman's health should depend on who she is or where she works or how much money she makes. Every woman should be in control of the decisions that affect her own health. Period. This basic principle is already the law in 28 states across the country.
Now, as we move to implement this rule, however, we've been mindful that there's another principle at stake here –- and that's the principle of religious liberty, an inalienable right that is enshrined in our Constitution. As a citizen and as a Christian, I cherish this right.
In fact, my first job in Chicago was working with Catholic parishes in poor neighborhoods, and my salary was funded by a grant from an arm of the Catholic Church. And I saw that local churches often did more good for a community than a government program ever could, so I know how important the work that faith-based organizations do and how much impact they can have in their communities.
I also know that some religious institutions -– particularly those affiliated with the Catholic Church -– have a religious objection to directly providing insurance that covers contraceptive services for their employees. And that's why we originally exempted all churches from this requirement -– an exemption, by the way, that eight states didn't already have.
And that's why, from the very beginning of this process, I spoke directly to various Catholic officials, and I promised that before finalizing the rule as it applied to them, we would spend the next year working with institutions like Catholic hospitals and Catholic universities to find an equitable solution that protects religious liberty and ensures that every woman has access to the care that she needs.
Now, after the many genuine concerns that have been raised over the last few weeks, as well as, frankly, the more cynical desire on the part of some to make this into a political football, it became clear that spending months hammering out a solution was not going to be an option, that we needed to move this faster. So last week, I directed the Department of Health and Human Services to speed up the process that had already been envisioned. We weren't going to spend a year doing this; we're going to spend a week or two doing this.
Today, we've reached a decision on how to move forward. Under the rule, women will still have access to free preventive care that includes contraceptive services -– no matter where they work. So that core principle remains. But if a woman's employer is a charity or a hospital that has a religious objection to providing contraceptive services as part of their health plan, the insurance company -– not the hospital, not the charity -– will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive care free of charge, without co-pays and without hassles.
The result will be that religious organizations won't have to pay for these services, and no religious institution will have to provide these services directly. Let me repeat: These employers will not have to pay for, or provide, contraceptive services. But women who work at these institutions will have access to free contraceptive services, just like other women, and they'll no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars a year that could go towards paying the rent or buying groceries.
Now, I've been confident from the start that we could work out a sensible approach here, just as I promised. I understand some folks in Washington may want to treat this as another political wedge issue, but it shouldn't be. I certainly never saw it that way. This is an issue where people of goodwill on both sides of the debate have been sorting through some very complicated questions to find a solution that works for everyone. With today's announcement, we've done that. Religious liberty will be protected, and a law that requires free preventive care will not discriminate against women.
We live in a pluralistic society where we're not going to agree on every single issue, or share every belief. That doesn't mean that we have to choose between individual liberty and basic fairness for all Americans. We are unique among nations for having been founded upon both these principles, and our obligation as citizens is to carry them forward. I have complete faith that we can do that.
Thank you very much, everybody.

_alexndr, your ROMS have been my go-to solution when setting up the Galaxy phones of my family members and I must say it has always been a breeze. A small token of appreciation is sent your way. Thank you very much :good:
Fwiw, I just succesfully restored a backup with v.184.108.40.206 after messing with substratum. I did not remove any fingerprint and pin security beforehand, but everything restored perfectly. :good: Running Purenexus 7.1.1, rooted and encrypted.
I just mean choosing which icons show in the status bar on the right hand side: for example I usually disable the alarm and NFC icons since I have them on at all times. It's still there, under settings, colt enigma, status bar, status bar items....

An Ithaca College student was killed early Sunday morning after being stabbed on the outskirts of Cornell University. A second IC student was also stabbed and has minor injuries.
The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Anthony Nazaire. The Bronx native was a student in the School of Business Administration at Ithaca College.
Nazaire died after being taken to Cayuga Medical Center. The student who survived was flown to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, and has been released.
Ithaca Police found the male students at the intersection of College Avenue and Campus Road just before 2 a.m.
Investigators say several hundred college-aged people went to a student-organized event in Williard Straight Hall on campus at Cornell. They say multiple physical altercations broke outside after the event was over.
Surveillance footage of the area shows several cars driving by and people taking cell phone video of the incident. Police are asking anyone who was in the area around that time to call them.
The college is offering counseling to students and is planning what it calls a larger community gathering.
Ithaca College President Tom Rochon says, "I hope you will hold these students—along with their families, friends, classmates, and professors—in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult and tragic time."
Cornell University's vice president says, "There is nothing more important than the safety of our community; as such, this incident is deeply disturbing. Please be sure to take care of yourselves and each other throughout the coming days."
Police do not have any suspects. Cornell University Police Department is also investigating and doesn't believe there's a threat to campus.
Anyone with information that may help investigators should call Ithaca Police at 607-272-3245

After 10 days spent relaxing in central California, Irma Manthei wasn't prepared for her trip to work on Monday morning. Driving down 6th Avenue was no problem, she said, until she stopped at the C Street traffic light and didn't start moving again for another five minutes.
"I couldn't believe it," said Manthei, an information clerk for San Diego Transit. "My first day back to work, and it was a mess. It took me 10 minutes to drive three blocks when I got close to Broadway.
"Cars were blocking the intersection, the buses were late, and everyone was upset. They yelled at the drivers and blamed the transit district, and it wasn't even our fault."
What Manthei--one of 20,000 motorists who use Broadway every day--found out Monday morning was that San Diego redevelopment has hit the streets.
For the next 13 weeks, Broadway and a handful of connecting streets that surround the Horton Plaza construction site will be a congested snarl of late buses, impatient riders, angry motorists and sweating laborers racing to pave the boulevards with decorative brickwork before the shopping complex opens Aug. 9.
The ornamental pavement--a herringbone pattern of interlocking bricks and sand--was planned to give Broadway and 3rd and 4th avenues a kind of old-fashioned, European flavor, said Manuel Nieto, project manager for VTN Engineers, which is laying the bricks.
But San Diegans will be paying dearly for their city's face lift.
Broadway has been temporarily cut from four lanes to two. Since Friday, when the project was begun, buses on the heavily traveled street have been running late by as much as 30 minutes, transit officials said. On Monday morning, the big blue and white vehicles jammed together as many as seven deep at the intersection of 2nd Avenue and Broadway while waiting for the light to change.
"We're trying to get the streets surrounding the Horton Plaza Park completed by Aug. 9, when the mall is opened," Nieto said. "But there will be traffic conflicts until the opening of the mall. All the traffic will be real backed up."
While Manthei sat in her car waiting for traffic to move, Lauren Mingo was sitting in a bus doing exactly the same thing.
"This morning the buses were running about 20 minutes late," said Mingo, who takes the bus from her San Diego home to work in La Jolla.
Some bus passengers, however, didn't notice the extra time the Broadway repaving effort added to their trips to work.
"I wait a half an hour every day for my bus anyway," said Lawrence Johnson, who rides the bus to work every day from his Spring Valley home to Point Loma. "It's taking a little longer because these streets have all been merged. It's bad already; now it's going to be miserable."
According to city traffic engineer Harold Rosenberg, Broadway is one of the three busiest streets in downtown San Diego. "It is one of the key east/west arteries in the downtown area," Rosenberg said, "but it doesn't function very efficiently."
City engineers often consider "couplet streets"--two parallel one-way avenues that travel in opposite directions--as a single street in order to compute traffic volume. Rosenberg said that F and G streets carry about 27,000 motorists daily, while A and Ash streets together carry nearly 23,000. Every day, about 20,000 motorists and 40,000 bus passengers wend their way along Broadway between 12th Avenue and Pacific Highway. Eighteen of San Diego's 31 bus lines either cross or travel along Broadway.
By itself, the repaving project would slow such a heavy volume of traffic, but Rosenberg said that construction citywide is making the problem worse.
"Our problem is twofold," he said. "One, there aren't very many alternate routes available to Broadway, since B Street does not continue beyond 3rd Avenue because of the Community Concourse development. F Street has been closed to accommodate the Horton Plaza development west of 4th Avenue, and C Street has been reduced in its capacity by the San Diego Trolley.
"And then a second factor is the number of building and construction projects," he said. "An estimated 10 construction sites are working concurrently within the downtown core bounded by Pacific Highway, Market Street, 12th Avenue and Beech Street," and those sites also block traffic.
While downtown motorists spent most of Monday cursing the traffic, Rosenberg was holding emergency meetings with representatives of the Police Department, San Diego Transit and the Centre City Development Corp.
Together, these agencies came up with a plan: Starting this morning, cars on cross streets between 1st and 6th avenues will not be able to turn onto Broadway, and green signals on Broadway will be lengthened, Rosenberg said.
"If we continue to have congestion, or what we call 'gridlock' where nothing moves, we may have to implement a more severe traffic plan, prohibiting all vehicles except for buses from using Broadway between 7th Avenue and Columbia Street," he said.
As a result, Manthei may have to find another route to work for the next 13 weeks. But such a decision will make Dorothy Melton's trip to work from San Diego to La Jolla a little easier.
"The bus was late this morning," Melton said, "and I was surprised, because they usually keep such a good schedule. But if we want the city fixed up, this is what's going to happen. You pay the price for progress."

Hello, so I have a "Participants" database where someone can pass in their name and then depending on if a boolean from the database is true or false, I want to display a video. I think I have most of the code down, I just cannot figure out how to show the results of a query for a particular field rather than the entire item. Sorry if this was not specific enough, let me know if I need to clarify anything. Thank you!

Hi Terrence,
Welcome to WixCode.
Maybe this code example will help:
wixData.query("Participants") .eq("lastName", "Smith") .find() .then( (results) => { let items = results.items; let item = items[0]; let firstName = item.firstName; console.log(firstName); } ) .catch( (err) => { let errorMsg = err; console.log(errorMsg); } );
The query looks in the Participants collection for a participant with the last name Smith, We get the first (and we hope only) item from the array of results.items, get the first name of the participant from the firstName field, and then display the participant's first name in the Developers console.
I hope this is what you were looking for.

Hi Yisrael, that was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much. Could you also help me with my other post? It has been awhile and no one else has answered yet. I have attached the link. Thanks

Hey Yisrael,
Thanks for your solved answer. It worked only one time. When I tried it with another field then it's throwing error. Do I need to use any ".onReady()" function as it's not working If I want same result button click?

Sung Soo-mun
Character information
Date of birth1992-09-18 (27 years old)
Place of birthSeoul, South Korea
NationalitySouth Korean
LanguagesKorean, English, (a little) Russian
Height178 cm
Weight75 kg
BuildLean, average muscle mass
HairBlack hair tied up into a small bun
Sung Soo-mun was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1992. His early life could be considered fairly normal, spending most of his time at school or playing outside. His father worked as a businessman with a tech company, and his mother stayed at home to take care of him and his sister. Sung Soo-mun's father died in 2009 of a heart attack, forcing him and his mother into work to provide for themselves and Soo-mun's sister. While his mother quickly found work at a local gas station, the meager pay was barely enough to provide for the three of them. Soo-mun started working as a freelancer, travelling from city to city and picking up odd jobs wherever he could find them. The combined salaries of Soo-mun and his mother allowed the family to barely scrape by in their average Seoul apartment. In 2013, his mother was involved in a car accident and died shortly after. Sung Soo-mun sent his sister to live with their deceased mother's family, and sold their apartment and belongings to start a new life. He managed to travel to China, continuing his work as a freelancer before moving on to Chernarus to work at a factory. Soo-mun found himself trapped in Chernarus when the city was quarantined in 2014. Now he wanders around, trying to get back to his sister should she still be alive.

It's risky, falling in love."
"I know that," I answered. "I've been in love before. It's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours.
"But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love."

The EX-R Starter Box (also known as Duel Monsters EX-R) was released on November 23, 2000. Although it is usually considered as part of Series 1 in the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG instead of being grouped with the later Structure Decks, the EX-R Starter Box effectively contained the first starter decks in the OCG, and later formed the basis for the Yugi and Kaiba TCG Starter Decks, with all 87 cards in the EX-R Starter Box being released in the English Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.
(Despite the similarity in names, it is worth noting that the EX-R Starter Box and the earlier EX Starter Box—also known as Duel Monsters EX, released December 16, 1999—are, in fact, two different sets. Although they share 85 cards, it is easy to distinguish those from each set, since there are differences in specific card rarities, and EX-R cards sport both printed set numbers and the holographic "Eye of Anubis".)

Jeffrey Golden, 76, passed from this life 30 September 2019 on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, due to complications of septicemia. He was born 5 November 1942 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, a second generation American. His grandparents emigrated to this country at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries from eastern Europe and Russia at a time when this country opened its arms to refugees. As a child he heard Yiddish in his home; Yiddish expressions peppered his everyday speech. His Hebrew name was Yitzhak Yosef. From the time of his Bar Mitzvah until he became a parent, he was a "cultural" Jew. However, as a new father, he found a community in Congregation Shaarei Shamayim, and Gates of Heaven Services during the High Holy Days.
Words were the coin of his realm. He wrote poetry in two languages: English and Spanish. On formal assessments he was rated as a well educated native Spanish speaker. He used his language facility in the Peace Corp in Columbia 1965-1966. He was a United Nations certified translator for the University of Wisconsin Chancellor's office. Throughout his career, he produced Spanish language videos, translated, narrated, wrote editorials in Spanish newspapers, such as "La Comunidad News," and provided Spanish language outreach services for the Dane County Health Department for Spanish-speaking residents. Recently he was translating into English a novel by an Argentinian author. His final, and perhaps favorite contribution was in his retirement when he served as a volunteer medical translator at Dane County's only free health clinic providing specialty medical care, the Benevolent Specialty Clinic in Madison. He believed he was paying back in his community for a life well lived here.
Jeffrey attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for both his undergraduate and graduate education. He was admitted as a senior-graduate student to the Speech Department. He re-started his graduate work in theatre and ended in radio, television and film. During his graduate years he worked at the Instructional Research Laboratory, the Laboratory for International Research in Education, the Space Science and Engineering EDSAT project, and the Multimedia Instructional Laboratory.
He continued his career in communications at the Waisman Center, Ohio Medical Products, Edgewood College, Madison College, the Dane County Health Department and his own business, Golden Communications. His work was acknowledged and awarded by the John Muir Medical Film Festival, the National Educational Film and Video Festival, the International Film and Television Festival of New York, the Cine Awards of 1980, 1983 and 1993, the Festival of the Americas, Telly Awards in 1992 and 1993, and the Industrial Film Festival Award for Creative Excellence.
Jeffrey was an actor. He had a following with audiences from the Wisconsin Players producing in the Wisconsin UnionTheater, the Theatre Guild, Madison Savoyards, and the Madison Repertory Theater. He loved Harold Pinter, Edward Albee, and William Shakespeare. He played title roles Falstaff and Macbeth; He was George in "Who's of Virginia Woolf," and Tevya in "Fiddler on the Roof." He once produced a play, once directed a play, and also once invested in a Broadway play, "Bleacher Bums" by the Organic Theater. He was one of two actors in the dinner/theater production of "Sleuth" at the Wilson St. East Playhouse. His last public theater performance was in 1994, just after his children had become toddlers and were beckoning him home. He served on the Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission from 1995 through 1998. Informally, he was an engaging storyteller and loved nothing better than a lively, intellectual conversation.
While he has had sporadic contact with Wisconsin Public Radio, his most enduring, public work was as the voice for Wisconsin Public Television. Among his friends and family, his distinctive sonorous voice earned him the moniker "Mr. Golden Tones."
His crowning vocation was being a father. From the moment he first held his son and daughter in his arms until the last day of his life, his children were his utmost concern. Likewise, they were attached to him, idolized him, and in adulthood counted him as a friend. He took his children camping, and cheered them on in athletics, two activities that had never been part of his own childhood. He traveled to South America several times with his son to seek, then visit his son's birth family. They cooked together. Jeff built a house with an apartment, where his son lived. With his daughter, he enjoyed brunch and dinners out, movies, and shared theater as a joint passion.
Jeff was hospitalized mostly at St. Mary's Hospital for over six weeks following a catastrophic episode of sepsis. His was a day to day struggle for his life. His family was at his side as he overcame one health obstacle after another. His will to live, his humor, his drive to communicate even though he could not speak were courageous, inspirational, and loving.
He is survived by his son and daughter, Carlos and Melinda, his brother Ken (Jeannette), nieces Johanna (Becky Brem), Ellie (Sone Inthachith), and Leslie Golden all of Madison; cousins Linda Kaplan and Steve Kessler; his former wife Roz Simon of Sauk City, his former wife of 28 years Kathryn Bush of Madison, and special friend Jofannie Karla of Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He was preceded in death by his parents Lillian Kessler and Alfred Golden, his aunt Harriet Golden, uncle Barney Kessler, and grandparents Laike Neshkes, Charles Golden (aka Girivitsky), Millie Kelman (aka Shepshowitz), and Harry Kessler.
Jeffrey's family would like to express their deep gratitude to the support and medical professionals and specialists at SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital, especially the emergency room, both intensive care units, the eighth floor respiratory unit, the pastoral care and palliative care teams.
Details of a Celebration of Life event will be available in the near future on CaringBridge.org/visit/jeffreygolden under his Journal section.
Memorials may be made in Jeffrey Golden's name to the Benevolent Specialists Project - Free Specialty Clinic, 2711 Allen Blvd., Suite B4, Middleton WI 53562. Memorial donations may also be made to Wisconsin Public Television and Wisconsin Public Radio.
Please share a memory.

So sad to hear about Jeffrey's passing. I'm thinking of you, Melinda, Carlos and Kathryn--you all are in my prayers! There's far too many memories to share, but my favorite will always be the love he had for all of you.
I will miss Jeff sitting next to me interpreting in the BSP Free Clinic.
I volunteered with Jeff st the BSP clinic. The man I knew was generous with his time and talents. His Spanish language.skills helped many patients to understand their care and treatment. His attitude towards people was always kind and respectful, looking for ways to connect person to person.
He was an example to us all that , at any age, we all have talents to share to improve our world.

Jeff was a man of extraordinary warmth, sensitivity,intelligence and humor. We became close while working together with RESULTS, a non-profit lobbying group dedicated to creating the political will to end the worst aspects of hunger and poverty in the US and abroad. I'll never forget his deep soulful laugh or his vast range of knowledge on a variety of subjects. I'll especially cherish his gentle and kind manner which defined his very being. My deepest condolences to Melinda and Carlos, and to Kathryn Bush, who I also knew and loved
Jeff was a beloved member of the Latino Health Council. He was always at every meeting even after retirement and always present to help us at our events. We miss him dearly. Descansa en paz amigo. Shiva Bidar
When I turned 21 Jeffrey gave me an album by Maria Muldaur. On it he wrote: "It's all up hill from here, just make sure it's your hill." Not only did I love the album but I especially love what he wrote. Throughout these many years I have often thought about what he wrote and at times have asked myself..."Is this my hill". Thank you Jeffery for your amazing friendship...knowing you was a joy.
My condolences to the family. I deeply missed him at Shaarei Shamayim High Holiday services this year.

For fans who prefer genuine sexual passion to formulaic, paint-by-numbers porn or circus stunts staged for a camera, director/stud Manuel Ferrara offers Raw 5. The series is special because its long, mostly unedited "scenes" – they're really more like informal home videos – show how real people look getting it on for their own pleasure. And what a pleasure Raw 5 is as Manuel and four sexy girls spend quality, truly intimate time turning each other on and getting each other off.

Arcangelo awoke with a groan, rubbing his eyes as he felt a pounding headache hammer against his forehead.
"Fuck." He groaned in pain as he blinked open his eyes, taking a moment for his vision to clear before he felt the straining of the typical hangover light sensitivity. Struggling to sit up, he rolled his shoulders to relieve the stiffness before he poured himself a glass of water. Sipping it, he looked around his room, catching sight of the little red dress fallen in a heap near his bedroom door. Slowly he turned beside him, seeing the space empty as he put away the glass, a humorless chuckle escaping him as he shook his head at himself.
"How stupid can I get?" He laughed at himself as he fell back, placing an arm over his eyes as he waited for the pain to subside.
The sound of the door opening soundlessly had him pull himself onto his eyebrows as he expected it to be the kids, but he raised his eyebrows in surprise as he noticed it to be Rosalie with a food-laden trey.
"Morning, " She smiled brightly at him while placing the trey between them, leaning over to place a kiss on his cheek as he looked at her in confusion. "What?"
"I-nothing, " he shook his head as he deciding against voicing his thoughts. "So what do we have here?"
"Breakfast, "
Rosalie grinned as she handed him his coffee with a croissant, grabbing one herself as she sat with her legs crossed beneath her, both of them biting into it as Arcangelo pulled back in surprise, realizing it to be chocolate filled. A laugh escaping Rosalie as she noticed the chocolate on his upper lip, leaning forward, she wiped it away, having cupped his chin into her fingers to ensure he remained still.
"There you go, " She smiled as she looked up, momentarily taken by surprise at how close they actually were, his smoldering eyes having her freeze in her position until he leaned forward, placing a kiss on her forehead, lingering for a second longer until he pulled back.
They both ate breakfast with light chatter until Arcangelo groaned, complaining how he was too tired and hungover to work.
"Then don't work." Rosalie stated, resulting in a laugh from him, as she lowered herself onto her stomach, "What's so funny? It's the second day of Christmas, nothing is going on, "
Arcangelo pondered her words for a moment, seeing the logic behind them as he nodded.
"Where are the kids?"
"Vincent took them with him." She informed as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Said something about being able to look after them for a day to lay off the burden on you, "
A chuckle escaped him as he shook his head.
"Alright then, what do you suggest we do today?"
"Nothing, "
"Yes, let's just lay here and forget about the world." Rosalie grinned as she lay down beside him, getting under the covers as the temperature kept getting colder day by day.
"Alright, " He relented, lying down beside her as they both were silent.
And just like that, they did nothing, besides talk about random topics and take naps. They both told each other jokes or talked about the strangest of topics, neither one relieving the memory of what happened last night in the attic.
"Rosalie..." Arcangelo called out as she hummed in response, his face growing a light pink at what he wanted to ask her. "I was...well...I mean..." He fumbled over his words as Rosalie pushed herself onto her elbows, her eyes widening at the pink across his cheek as she repressed a smile.
"Are you...blushing?" She cooed at him.
"What, no."
"Oh! Really?" Rosalie taunted, rolling onto her stomach as she looked at him with clear amusement. "Gee...I wonder what has you blushing so hard."
At that, his cheeks darkened as his voice cracked.
"N-nothing, "
She couldn't help but squeal at him at how adorable he looked. The ever-stoic, intimidating Mafia Boss lay before her with tousled hair and wide blue eyes as he was blushing at the prospect of something.
"You're so freaking adorable." She laughed as she placed a kiss on his cheek, a giggle escaping her as he turned to look at her with a halfhearted glare as he sat up in bed.
"If I'm so 'freaking adorable' then go out on a date with me. Bet you don't have the guts for that." He challenged
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
"So...I guess this is it, huh?" She chuckled uneasily as her grip tightened on the strap of her bag. "I'm leaving."
"Yes, you are." He responded curtly.
"Thank you." Rosalie breathed out as she shuffled her feet. "For everything, "
"I owed you." He spoke softly, putting away his phone as she couldn't figure out how his eyes looked behind the opaque glasses
"You could have let me die." She repeated his words from their very first encounter with a fond smile as it caused a slight twitch of his lips.
"Even when I had the opportunity to save you?"
"Even then, "
They both chuckled at the memory, momentarily looking away as Rosalie realized that she was going back. Things would be different, she would be different, but no one would know.
"Goodbye then, " Rosalie spoke quietly as Arcangelo nodded.
She was about to walk towards the car, ready to settle in the back before she stopped short at the door. Arcangelo watched her back in silence before she turned on her heels and marched back to him. He was about to inquire if something was the matter before her hands shot up and cupped his face, pulling him down as she molded her lips to his.
Taking not only him but everyone around them, by surprise.
Salvatore nearly tripped and all the guards broke character, everyone staring in disbelief as the marked girl was kissed the Mafia Boss senseless.
Pulling away, both of their faces were flushed as their breaths came out uneven and shaky.
Arcangelo stared at her in disbelief, never having expected such a bold move on her part as she pulled away, releasing him as she pressed her fingers to her lips, no doubt still feeling the tingling that surged through him as well. Without another word, she turned and settled in the car, pulling the door shut as he couldn't see with the tinted windows.
The guard settled as well before driving off, leaving everyone in silent astonishment.
Inhaling deeply, Arcangelo's face flushed at the way he reacted to her. Feeling uncharacteristically embarrassed, he rubbed the back of his neck, and lightly kicking the ground with the tip of his shoes as he glanced up for a moment.
His entire posture becoming rigid as he noticed all the eyes on him.
"What are you all staring at?!" He demanded in a booming voice as they all jolted out of their stupor, going back to their posts, two guards exchanging money behind his back as Arcangelo spun on his heels, his face burning as he marched towards the entrance doors.
"Not a word." He growled to Salvatore as he passed by, the other man simply raising his hands in surrender as a small smirk crept its way onto his lips as he felt one of the men push a wad of cash into his hand.
"Whatever you say, " He stated as he followed bouncing the money behind his back. "Loverboy, "

3 Ways To Close The Gender Gap In STEM, According To Leading Experts In The Field
There are few areas where the gender gap is more pronounced than in STEM, which is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics for the uninitiated. In 2017, there were just 22,340 female graduates in STEM fields in the UK. It's unsurprisingly then, that a 2018 report from WISE, a group which advocates for greater gender parity in the UK industry, found that just 22 percent of people working in these industries are women. WISE's goals — gender parity in the industry, and 1 million women working in these industries by 2020 — requires us to examine ways to close STEM's gender gap. For International Women's Day 2019, I canvassed four experts to find out what needs to be done.
First of all, let's be clear: the stakes are incredibly high. "The fourth Industrial Revolution is here and it is essential that female brains, talent and power are behind the wheel of this digital transformation," STEM veteran Gabriela Mueller Mendoza tells me. Now an executive coach and author of How To Be A Smart Woman In STEM, Mendoza adds that "when we add ethnicity to women's representation in these fields, we see enormous differences."
Reducing bias is a big part of the problem, as is education. "Women have as much of a place in STEM as men do," Karina Larsen, Vice President of Business Development at Honeywell Aerospace explains, so it's vital to get rid of "outdates biases and clichés" that lead many women to think they're not "right" for the industry. But in doing so, it's important to focus attention at the structural level too. "I don't think it should be just on women to shift the paradigm and culture," Stacey Espinosa, Global Research & Development Senior Manager at Mars Inc. explains. "We need everyone, especially those in positions of leadership, to advocate for the role of women."
For fellow women in STEM, they can advocate by serving as role models and mentors for the younger generation. "By sharing our passion and positive experiences of the STEM industry, we can encourage and inspire more women to consider a career in the field," Anne-Laure Thieullent, Artificial Intelligence and Analytics Group Offer Leader at Capgemini explains. Read on to find out more about what needs to be done to even up the scales in STEM and beyond.
1. Education
This is not about fixing women — it is about recognising that girls and young women often learn a set of concepts in early years that limit their views of themselves.
"Outdates biases and clichés mean that some women don't think that careers in STEM are 'right' for them, which simply isn't true. Women have as much of a place in STEM as men do. Schools should educate girls about the great career prospects that there are in STEM, and encourage them to study these subjects." — Karina Larsen
"This is not about fixing women — it is about recognising that girls and young women often learn a set of concepts in early years that limit their views of themselves and stopping this from happening. Those are related to perfectionism, fear of failure, fear of disappointing someone, low or lack of self-worth and low self-confidence. Research shows that, on average, a girl loses self-confidence in mathematical abilities between the ages of 13-15 years old, when they often outperform boys in similar ages in those fields. This affects career choices later in life. The reality is that once they graduate, a large portion of women with computer science degrees and engineering leave their fields. Girls and young women need to receive sustained efforts and engaging computer-science-related activities right from their early years to provide them with the personal encouragement they need to trust their abilities." — Gabriela Mueller Mendoza
Some women don't think that careers in STEM are 'right' for them, which simply isn't true.
"It's encouraging to see there's a growing recognition of the need for women and diversity in STEM but that is not enough. In addition to helping women and girls believe in themselves, our institutions and systems — money, education, opportunity, support — have to work for all to really deliver change." — Stacey Espinosa
"Outdated biases mean that some parents and teachers unconsciously steer young girls away from STEM. The reality is that STEM subjects are for everybody and lead to rewarding and exciting careers. Teachers should encourage girls to take STEM in school and parents should encourage their daughters to explore these subjects – particularly if they show an interest or talent. There are plenty of ways to have fun with tech as early as possible!" — Anne-Laure Thieullent
2. Diversity
There is no longer any room for bias in the workplace.
"Leaders need to recognise that the old belief that there is a lack of ambition in women or that women leave because they become mothers is obsolete. It is proven that some of the main reasons why women leave STEM jobs are those that organisational leaders can have a say about and fix: pay gaps, limited opportunities for advancement while integrating work-life demands, being confined to boring tasks or jobs that do not match their talent or academic skills and finally because of hostile corporate cultures. The solution is a continuous and positive effort to educate and train including effective programs by professionals to prepare evaluators, HR recruiters, managers and C-suite members and raise self-awareness as well as showing proactive ways to become part of the solution." — Gabriela Mueller Mendoza
"As a leader in STEM, I know that successful innovation demands diversity. The responsibility is on all of us, men and women, to recognise the importance of inclusivity in what we do and actively create an environment for women to be themselves." — Stacey Espinosa
Successful innovation demands diversity.
"Organisations must also ensure they are doing their best to push for diversity and to stamp out unconscious and conscious biases. Training is important here. The right training can help employees to identify and put an end to unfair behaviour. Initiatives should also be put in place to ensure that organisations are hiring diversely." — Anne-Laure Thieullent
"Companies must change workplace culture to ensure that women are climbing an equal career leader to their male counterparts, and are given the same opportunities. There is no longer any room for bias in the workplace." — Karina Larsen
3. Mentorship
My message is: do what you love and disregard stereotypes.
"Coaching, mentoring and candid conversations help drive progress. I am grateful to have built a circle of mentors throughout my career with vastly diverse personalities and perspectives that have transformed my career by empowering me to make my own way." — Stacey Espinosa
"Executives within STEM can encourage more girls and women to choose STEM careers. By sharing our passion and positive experiences of the STEM industry, we can encourage and inspire more women to consider a career in the field. My message is: do what you love and disregard stereotypes. To be successful, you need to follow your passion and not limit yourself. If you are interested in pursuing a career in STEM, then just go for it!" — Anne-Laure Thieullent

Project Spectrum is a coalition of graduate students and faculty members devoted to the issue of diversity in music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology. They were the organizers of the symposium Diversifying Music Academia: Strengthening the Pipeline (31 October–1 November 2018), an event that explored why many people marginalized by their race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and/or class continue to have difficulty in finishing graduate degrees, attaining gainful employment, and receiving tenure within all fields of music studies. Today, they continue their efforts to develop concrete tools to inspire systematic change within these fields.
The most recent membership demographics of the American Musicological Society and Society for Music Theory indicate that the organizations remain between 85 and 90% white. What's more, covert and overt racism and sexism can be observed in quotidian interactions in music departments, in musicological publications, and on the music studies jobs wiki. Too often, when this reality is articulated, people in positions of power insist that the problem is in the pipeline and suggest that the solution must come from women, the economically disadvantaged, and people of color scholars themselves. By contrast, Project Spectrum contends that in order to adequately address music studies' diversity problem, we, as current and aspiring music scholars, must take a collaborative and coalitional approach.
As evidence of identity-based discrimination in all aspects of North American life continues to mount up, music scholarship should seek to be a part of the solution. Project Spectrum works toward this goal by offering mentoring and workshops to support underrepresented scholars, fostering relationships among a coalition of scholars dedicated to broad diversity in our field, amplifying the voices of those music scholars working toward diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion in academic life, and sparking discussions that lead to long-term solutions within music studies. By facilitating these conversations, we hope to present the repair of our "leaky" pipeline as a necessarily collaborative effort and generate strategies for sustaining these efforts. Conversations about race, ethnicity, and intersectionality are most effective when both underrepresented and majority members of our various Societies are in dialogue; Project Spectrum aims to create spaces in which we can bridge this gap and cultivate the strategies necessary to achieve our goals.

Using Layers to Change Colors
From time to time I am asked how to change the color of a specific component in a drawing view. For example, you might want to show one of the components in an assembly drawing view in the color red and all the others as the default black.
First Method
Using either the Line Format toolbar or the Layer toolbar, click Layer Properties.
In the dialog box that appears, create a new layer and set the color of the layer to red. Click OK when finished.
Right-mouse click on the component you want to display in the red color and select "Change Layer" from the pop-up menu. Then select the name of the red layer.
Second Method
Or, you can click on the component you want to display in the red color and click the "Change Layer" button on the Line Format toolbar. Then select the name of the red layer.
Third Method
You can also click on the component you want to display in the red color and click the layer name dropdown on the Layer toolbar. Then select the name of the red layer.
All of these methods make it simple to change the color of a component in an assembly drawing.
Considering Only One View
What if you only want to change the color of a component in one view, not all views?
For this, right-click the component you want to change in the view you want to change it. On the pop-up menu, choose Component Line Font.
In the dialog box that appears, clear "Use document defaults."
At the bottom of the box, there is a place to select what layer you want the component to use. Select the newly created layer.
Select the option "From Selection" to make the change apply only to the selected view. Click OK when finished.
Now you have one drawing view with one red part.
We hope you found this how-to helpful! Now you have a few go-to options when changing component colors.
