Women municipal politicians in election news
Full Text
The news media's fascination with which party is ahead in the polls — otherwise known as the horse race — has raised questions about how well informed voters are about their choices on the ballot box. A preoccupation with campaign strategies, gaffes, and photo-ops leaves journalists with less time to report on issues and platforms. Some scholars argue women are particularly handicapped by horse-race coverage because it can lead to negative evaluations of their electoral viability and because the masculine language used in this type of coverage could depict them as inappropriately aggressive and therefore transgressing traditional gender norms. But this study on newspaper coverage of municipal elections in one Canadian province reveals that journalists treat regular council contests more as a marathon than a horse race. The nature of municipal election coverage suggests journalists treat candidates as a mass group of runners, doing little to distinguish them from each other and rarely speculating on their electoral chances. The real problem for women and men council candidates is not media bias but media invisibility—getting the coverage they need to build a public profile so voters will support them

Mel Brooks: Trump not reached Hitlerian proportions… yet
The legendary Jewish comedian and actor was speaking after having been awarded the prestigious Fellowship at the Baftas
The Producers creator Mel Brooks has said he does not think Donald Trump is worthy of his own musical because he does not think he is dangerous.
Brooks, who was awarded the prestigious Fellowship at the Baftas, wrote and directed the satirical comedy about producers staging a musical about Hitler.
Speaking backstage after he collected his gong from the Duke of Cambridge, he contemplated if he would ever pen anything about the president.
He said: "He just simply hasn't reached Hitlerian proportions yet, he might get there.
"I'm not afraid of him, I don't think he's dangerous. I think he's mostly an entertainer, a guy who wants audiences to love him.
- Anti-Semitic supporters 'not welcome' says Palestine Solidarity Campaign
- Palestinians 'given up' on leaders and chosen 'fast track to paradise', says Middle East Minister
- NFL players pull out of Israel trip
- Prince William presents Mel Brooks with lifetime Bafta award
- British Jews open safe space for Syrian women in Turkey
- Holocaust denial books for sale on Amazon
"What I'm afraid of is all the guys around him, all the people who whisper in his ears, like the people who whispered in George W Bush's ears and we got the Iraq War.
"I just hope Trump stays the egomaniac he is, listens to no-one and then we will all be safe. But if he believes these guys we are all in trouble."
Brooks described his award from Bafta as "an august and singular honour", adding: "I love the affection that comes with it."
The comedian said he is looking forward to putting on a theatrical production of his film Young Frankenstein in the capital, which will open at the Garrick Theatre later this year after a run in Newcastle.
He said: "I am going to keep going until I'm dead. I have ideas and I am bringing to this very city a musical called Young Frankenstein, a musical comedy.
"I think, modestly speaking, it will be sensational. It's not that I care about the money but if you're interested go by the Garrick. If you're scalpers you will make a lot of money."

Future Limitations
The challenges before
humanity are great. Right now, roughly 300 million people are consuming
the bulk of the world's resources, with perhaps another 300 million
people world wide consuming nearly the same amount. As the rest of the
world industrializes, this situation is only going to get worse. And
while there are vigorous efforts underway to reduce the impact of
individuals on the planet, they are not nearly enough, nor can they
ever be. The technological advances made in reducing environmental
degradation are limited by the basic laws of the universe in how
effective they can be. The complexity of the Earth is such that our
ability to understand the long term consequences of our actions is
always going to be limited.
Every action of ours causes
a change upon the Earth and we cannot always predict the outcome of
those actions, nor can we be certain that our actions will have a
positive impact. The more of us alive at any given moment, the greater
the impact we have. We can and should try to reduce the negative
impacts we have, but those efforts will always be undercut not only by
the increase in our numbers, but also by the increase in our standards
of living.
As it is, we've little
evidence that the efforts we're presently undertaking will be enough or
effective. Climatologists are now saying that if we ceased our carbon
emissions tomorrow, the changes to the environment will be with us for
a 1000 years at least. The truth of the matter is that until humanity's
carbon emissions drop to below levels not seen before the start of the
industrial revolution, we will not see the beginnings of a reversal in
the changes we have wrought upon the Earth.
It is, however, unrealistic
to expect that to happen any time soon, if at all. There are, at a
rough estimate, some five billion people eagerly trying to have a First
World life, and it is projected that the population of the Earth will
not stabilize until we reach 9 billion. We know for a fact that the
planet cannot sustain such a thing.
We are told, however, that
technology will advance to the point where humans can all enjoy a first
world lifestyle and not harm the planet, but can it really?
Going back to a primarily
agrarian lifestyle is impossible. Such a way of life would not be able
to produce enough food to support 9 billion people, even if all of them
were willing to go back to such a life. (And I can assure that most
people are not willing to do such a thing.)
For people all over the
world to enjoy the same standard of living as the most developed part
of the world is going to require not merely technological improvements
that allow people to use fewer resources, but it is also going to
require strict regulation of the manner in which people live their
On the surface this seems
good. We need more energy efficient technology, we need more recycling,
and any of a number of other things, but thing for a moment of what it
would be like to have every second of your life monitored. Even worse,
when you made a minor mistake, say you dropped something that could be
recycled and didn't notice you had dropped it. Odds are, you wouldn't
get a polite tap on the shoulder telling you to pick it up, you'd get a
fine. Enough of them and they begin to make a serious dent in your
income. Oops.
This breeds resentment and
anger. People then begin to look for ways to get back at the system
they feel has unjustly persecuted them. While it is doubtful that these
efforts will have a large scale effect, in a world where everything is
monitored, they'll be treated as serious crimes.
Even if you assume a
wonderful technology which will "somehow" make all of this unnecessary,
there is still the fact that the best way to save the Earth will be for
large swaths of it to be untouched by humanity. Not only will this mean
that oppressive numbers of humanity are crammed into increasingly
overcrowded cities, but many of us, regardless of our station in life
will be prohibited from visiting any of those places where nature is
allowed to run rampant.
The psychological effects of
this will be profound. Everyone is familiar with the experiments where
rats are forced to live in too close of quarters. At first all seems
well and then they turn violent towards one another, even going so far
as to engage in cannibalism. Humans are not rats, of course, but there
are lessons to be learned from such things.
We know that highly
populated cities are incredibly stressful places to live. It is also
becoming apparent that other psychological effects are compounded by
living in such confined environments. Children with ADHD and other
conditions do better when exposed to a natural environment.
Still, our future is in the
megacities. We will be encouraged to move to those places, not merely
because that's where the jobs are, but because it will be seen as the
most environmentally friendly. Escape to the countryside will be
impossible, as the environment will be unable to take the onslaught.
Is this the future we want
for ourselves? Crammed like veal calves into little boxes, spending our
days, unable to see the sun, except through window glass. There is an
Admittedly, it is not for
everyone. Nor will all those who wish to go be able to take advantage
of it. It will also not provide benefits for those left behind for any
time in the foreseeable future, if ever. Like parents who spend their
days working desperately so that their children can have a better life.

On 1 April, all the children and young people participating in the World's Children's Prize program will join in the Round the Globe Run for a Better World. On this day, you will present your ideas on how to achieve the Global Goals where you live and in your country. You will also either walk or run together on this day, maybe 100 turns around the globe, for a better world!
Start 1 April with a ceremony for the Global Goals, at which you tell the adult world how you want things to be and what you all need to do, together. Then all pupils will form a long human chain, fingertip to fingertip. It'd be great if you could display your posters too. Remember that you are doing this alongside over a million pupils at the same time!
The human chain is the beginning of you taking your message around the world. You'll extend your chain by walking or running three kilometres. The circumference of the Earth is 40,076 kilometres. We need just over 1.3 million children to reach round the globe one hundred times with your message for a better world!
On 1 April, children around the world will form human chains and stand up for change!
The Round the Globe Run for a Better World is mostly about Goal 5 (for gender equality and equal rights for girls), Goal 10 (reduced inequalities) and Goal 16 (justice and peaceful societies).

How Wonderful! P.E.T. in Spain for the First Time!
In a series of "firsts," we are pleased and proud to announce the first ever P.E.T. Instructor Training Workshop in Spain! The workshop took place on January 13-17th, 2014 in Bilbao, facilitated by our P.E.T. Representative for Mexico, Mr. Lauro Macias Ortega, in his first solo role as a Master Trainer outside of Mexico. Also notable to mention is that this was the first ever Instructor Training Workshop with more male participants than female.
Our Representative in Spain, Ms. Marta Isasi Mediavilla, said of the workshop, "There is a 'before' and an 'after' in my life after taking the ITW course. I would like to express my happiness and gratitude for the marvelous training that we consider of incalculable value which we needed to be able to see and live the life in a different way. Personally, now, after the ITW training I value much more my relationships,
I query any belief that I feel is restricting me, I enjoy the quiet that helps me to listen to others properly. I feel strong enough to say what I feel and need at any time and I have realized how important are the conflicts and how the conflicts help me to grow if I confront them in an effective way. I enjoy solving family issues and the most important thing for me at the moment is that I have started to know deeply and honestly my partner and my children. I am so happy and my bigger motivation at this moment is to be able to disseminate/spread the programme to be able to share with other people and that something as valuable as this model will reach once and for all, the world."

Hammerson are transforming the shopping centre experience – with Cortexica's AI based visual search
With a portfolio of 22 shopping centres and 15 retail parks in 14 countries (not forgetting a grand total of 4,900 tenants), it is extremely important to retail property group Hammerson to make shopping in their centres a positive and immersive experience for retailers and their customers. This why they are taking the lead in digital innovation for in-store experience with their PLUS app, and its latest tool, Style Seeker, powered by Cortexica's visual search and image recognition technology – FindSimilar.
In-store Vs Online Shopping
While physical retail has a long list of benefits for its customers, including offering a large range of retailers, the ability to try on items before purchase, accessible locations and of course catering, customers are not always unitising these benefits and opting for online. Furthermore, when taking a closer look at their shoppers' journey throughout their centres, Hammerson found that customers weren't utilising all of the advantages shopping centres have to offer, as shoppers were typically visiting the same 4-5 stores and were doing the same route around the centre each visit.
These findings encouraged the shopping centre group to improve their shoppers' journey by incorporating the visual search tool Style Seeker to their PLUS app. Style Seeker enables shoppers to take an image of an item – be it one in a magazine, website or social media image, upload it to the app and search an entire shopping centers' inventory for similar items.
How does it work?
- Take a picture of your desired item
- Upload to Style Seeker
- Find products from multiple retailers
- Add to your favourites and shop your look (maybe with a retailer you've never tried before)
Check out the tutorial here:
The Results
"90% of those that tried the app said they found it useful and 92% said they would use it again."
"In terms of brand engagement, 94% said that the app would encourage them to visit different or more stores."
The initial trial of our FindSimilar visual search technology, and the above findings in the London Brent Cross store, were so successful that it led to the roll out of 'Style Seeker' into all of the UK Hammerson shopping centres and is also rolling out to other countries such as France and Ireland
Shoppers across Hammerson's UK (as well as across the channel), can now instantly search products from the inventories of stores at that location. The shopping centre group are streamlining the shopping process, allowing consumers to search almost 360,000 items from brands like John Lewis and River Island in one click, and still be able to enjoy a leisurely shopping centre experience.
