Alba Cruz is a human rights lawyer and the juridical coordinator of for Codigo-DH in Oaxaca State, one of the poorest and most underdeveloped states in Mexico, with a large, highly marginalised, indigenous population.
PBI's accompaniment of Alba began when she was working for the November 25 Liberation Committee, following threats against her and her colleagues in 2009.
Codigo-DH was created in January 2011 but arose from the closure of the November 25 Liberation Committee, and continues much of the Committee's work. It offers legal aid, psychological support and medical attention to victims of human rights violations, as well as promoting access to justice and challenging impunity.
The November 25 Committee was established following the wave of human rights violations on 25 November 2006, when 139 people were arbitrarily detained and imprisoned, with many tortured, and houses and schools raided. The Committee estimated that during 2006-7, there were 502 arbitrary detentions, as well as 26 killings in which the authorities were implicated, 246 cases of torture, and seven forced disappearances.
Along with other organisations, the Committee was instrumental in seeking justice for the victims of what has become known as the 'Oaxaca Case'. In October 2009, as a result of their efforts, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that Ulíses Ruiz, Oaxaca's Governor, and other public officials were responsible for the violation of a range of rights, including the right to life, freedom and physical integrity.
Alba is also the defence lawyer for trade union leader Marcelino Coache. Marcelino was detained illegally and tortured in April 2009 but has still not obtained justice or reparation. He and his family continue being victims of harassment, threats and attacks despite being beneficiaries of precautionary measures from the IACHR since 2009.
In spite of national and international recognition of her work, Alba continues to be threatened and harassed in connection with the cases she represents. She has been the target of physical and verbal attacks, and her car was tampered with several times.

Despite an announcement last month that the New York City Police Department had disbanded a controversial surveillance unit, the New York Times reports on Sunday that the department has continued to systematically target the city's Muslim communities by recruiting individuals arrested of petty crimes to act as informants for so-called "terrorist investigations."
The Times reviewed stacks of internal reports and spoke with former members of the units involved in the program and learned that "a squad of detectives, known as the Citywide Debriefing Team" was combing the city's jails for newly arrested individuals in order to "invite" them to become police informants.
According to the Times:
Never Miss a Beat.

The men, all Muslim immigrants, went through similar ordeals: Waiting in a New York station house cell or a lockup facility, expecting to be arraigned, only to be pulled aside and questioned by detectives. The queries were not about the charges against them, but about where they went to mosque and what their prayer habits were. Eventually, the detectives got to the point: Would they work for the police, eavesdropping in Muslim cafes and restaurants, or in mosques?
Even as the NYPD defended the program, saying that it was both "effective" and that the interview were "conversations" not interrogations, the paper notes that "many of those interviewed said that as Muslim immigrants in a post-9/11 world, they felt they had little choice but to cooperate."
As Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU's National Security Project, said after the shuttering of a separate unit that targeted Muslims last month, the NYPD runs a "huge, discriminatory surveillance program" against the Muslim community of which these separate programs only make up a part. The NYPD, said Shamsi at the time, must go further by ending "all aspects of the bias-based policing that has stigmatized New York's Muslim communities and done them such great harm."

Early Planning Stages of My Youtube Channel
After blogging now for more than a year and a half I have taken an interest in setting up a youtube channel. After going back and forth on several different ideas I have finally settled on a name and a platform. I will announce the name in a second but first I wanted to explain the process I have gone through to set up a new youtube channel. Originally I was going to do a very specific Eve Simplified themed youtube channel. The channel would be absolutely Eve themed with tutorials and other walk-throughs. After thinking about it for a time I realized there was a lot of other games I played and didn't necessarily want the channel just to focus on an Eve theme. So I am announcing today the early planning stages of my new youtube channel Tactic Talisman.
Currently on the channel I have only a few Minecraft Let's Play videos present. I have been playing around with recording, editing, and posting videos to better my skills. So when the time comes I will be able to create well crafted Eve tutorials having first done a lot of practice. Stay tuned here at Eve Simplified and you might find some interesting Eve video tutorials coming your way. For the time being check out Tactic Talisman if your interested in Minecraft Let's Play videos.
My Let's Play series is based on playing a hardcore survival map with the ultimate goal of killing the Ender Dragon. The map seed is a giant desert and finding food the first couple of days was not easy. I will post the first episode in the series below.

How to Prepare for the New Industry Patch Launch
You might be asking yourself how do I prepare for all these wide sweeping industry changes? How do I best position my assets for such a large change? Now I can't speak for you so let me tell you what I have done. I had prepared everything I had located a new system I was going to operate out of. I had moved all of my BPOs and other gear out that direction as well. I had purchased a few other investments and had everything in place.
Then the industry changes were pushed back to July 22. I don't think I have quite mentally recovered from that initial push back. Why might you ask? Because of how I am currently preparing for patch day. The answer is I'm not. I put up all my manufactured goods on to the market, any other trades goods I was holding on to I set up market orders for as well, and then let my subscription fall off.
Why deal with patch day this way? The first reason that probable has more to do with it than my new feature woes is the slow markets during the summer. A lot of people take breaks from Eve and are on vacation during the summer so the game just tends to be unexciting during that lull. The second reason is after preparing for that patch and having it pushed back I realized real quick that nothing was concrete until the thing was live. So among other reason I decided to just sit back and watch the patch math from a distance. In a few weeks after the dust has settled I will get back in and try it out. I have a few other fun ventures I am pursuing in my spare time and Eve hasn't been fitting into those yet but hopefully some time soon.

New Development Video out for Crius Patch
CCP released a development video for the Crius patch. Its worth a watch nothing new was shown and no funny role playing like in some of the past videos.
July 11, 2014
I am super causal when it comes to playing Eve. I play once every day or two with a healthy dose on the weekends if I can. I also take month long breaks every three or four months letting my subscription drop just because I can, I have this weird thing about controlling my life and not letting games control it but that's not what I want to talk about here. And its not like I don't have enough isk for PLEX or money for a subscription I just let it drop off. Taking a break you could call it.
What happens to your account after the subscription is up? You might think that is a silly question, I don't think its a silly question at all, in fact I think its an important question to understand.
Skill training stops, ok fair enough.
Any industry job whether manufacturing slot or research slot continues until finished ok...
All market orders stay active until their posted time ends which you can set to three months.
Why can you have active industry slots and active market orders(I get that you can't update them but three months is a long time) when you are not even paying to play the game? You would think a for profit company like CCP wouldn't allow you to do this sort of thing. Especially puzzling with the heavy market oriented aspect of Eve game play. Well don't have a few unsubscribed manufacturing alt accounts? If you can't beat them join them.
I mean seriously if you look at it from a market stand point of isk optimization I could subscribe every other month giving me 6 less PLEX a year I need to use on an alt account while at the same time using those 60 slots(3 characters times 10 manufacturing and 10 research) que out for a month. This only gets better as the slot que times will soon be removed.

Operation: PI Halt
A month or so back I decided to stop all of my PI(Planetary Interaction) production I was doing. It had just become a chore. I had a simple 5 planet system set up on two characters so 10 planets total with all the extractors set to 3 day cycle times. I don't have that much time to play so when it came to it spending 20 to 30 minutes resetting planets was just getting tedious.
Further more I was forgoing a lot of manufacturing production which has been far more lucrative than the 150 million I was getting out of PI production every month(in high sec). In short I had out grown my small PI production. While in the beginning days of my subscription it served as a great supplemental income source for things like blueprints and expensive skill books without cutting into my other market ventures. The current set up I had for PI needed to either be moved out to a wormhole operation or retooled to a more factory style system in hopes for better margins. Already operating on a time constraint I just decided to scrap it all together and opted to focus my time on manufacturing which I now had the proper capital to fund in large quinatites.
So the bottom line is if you don't enjoy doing something in a game that you are playing during your free time you should probable stop what your doing and find something better to do.

From: Mark 16:15-20
Jesus Appears to the Eleven. The Apostle's Mission
[15] And He (Jesus) said to them (the Eleven), "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to the whole creation. [16] He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. [17] And these signs will accompany those who believe; in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; [18] they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."
The Ascension
[19] So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
The Apostles Go Forth and Preach
[20] And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.
15. This verse contains what is called the "universal apostolic mandate" (paralleled by Matthew 28:19-20 and Luke 24:46-48). This is an imperative command from Christ to His Apostles to preach the Gospel to the whole world. This same apostolic mission applies, especially to the Apostles' successors, the bishops in communion with Peter's successor, the Pope.
But this mission extends further: the whole "Church was founded to spread the Kingdom of Christ over all the earth for the glory of God the Father, to make all men partakers in redemption and salvation.... Every activity of the Mystical Body with this in view goes by the name of `apostolate'; the Church exercises it through all its members, though in various ways. In fact, the Christian vocation is, of its nature, a vocation to the apostolate as well. In the organism of a living body no member plays a purely passive part, sharing in the life of the body it shares at the same time in its activity. The same is true for the body of Christ, the Church: the whole body achieves full growth in dependence on the full functioning of each part' (Ephesians 4:16). Between the members of this body there exists, further, such a unity and solidarity (cf. Ephesians 4:16) that a member who does not work at the growth of the body to the extent of his possibilities must be considered useless both to the Church and to himself.
"In the Church there is diversity of ministry but unity of mission. To the apostles and their successors Christ has entrusted the office of teaching, sanctifying and governing in His name and by His power. But the laity are made to share in the priestly, prophetical and kingly office of Christ; they have therefore, in the Church and in the world, their own assignment in the mission of the whole people of God" (Vatican II, "Apostolicam Actuositatem", 2).
It is true that God acts directly on each person's soul through grace, but it must also be said that it is Christ's will (expressed here and elsewhere) that men should be an instrument or vehicle of salvation for others.
Vatican II also teaches this: "On all Christians, accordingly, rests the noble obligation of working to bring all men throughout the whole world to hear and accept the divine message of salvation" ("ibid.", 3).
16. This verse teaches that, as a consequence of the proclamation of the Good News, faith and Baptism are indispensable pre-requisites for attaining salvation. Conversion to the faith of Jesus Christ should lead directly to Baptism, which confers on us "the first sanctifying grace, by which Original Sin is forgiven, and which also forgives any actual sins there may be; it remits all punishment due for sins; it impresses on the soul the mark of the Christian; it makes us children of God, members of the Church and heirs to Heaven, and enables us to receive the other Sacraments" ("St. Pius X Catechism", 553).
Baptism is absolutely necessary for salvation, as we can see from these words of the Lord. But physical impossibility for receiving the rite of Baptism can be replaced either by martyrdom (called, therefore, "baptism of blood") or by a perfect act of love of God and of contrition, together with an at least implicit desire to be baptized: this is called "baptism of desire" (cf. "ibid.", 567-568).
Regarding infant Baptism, St. Augustine taught that "the custom of our Mother the Church of infant Baptism is in no way to be rejected or considered unnecessary; on the contrary, it is to be believed on the ground that it is a tradition from the Apostles" ("De Gen., Ad Litt.", 10, 23, 39). The new "Code of Canon Law" also stresses the need to baptize infants: "Parents are obliged to see that their infants are baptized within the first few weeks. As soon as possible after the birth, indeed even before it, they are to approach the parish priest to ask for the Sacrament for their child, and to be themselves duly prepared for it" (Canon 867).
Another consequence of the proclamation of the Gospel, closely linked with the previous one, is that "the Church is necessary", as Vatican II declares: "Christ is the one mediator and way of salvation; He is present to us in His body which is the Church. He Himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse to enter it, or to remain in it" ("Lumen Gentium", 14; cf. "Presbyterorum Ordinis", 4; "Ad Gentes", 1-3; "Dignitatis Humanae", 11).
17-18. In the early days of the Church, public miracles of this kind happened frequently. There are numerous historical records of these events in the New Testament (cf., e.g., Acts 3:1-11; 28:3-6) and in other ancient Christian writings. It was very fitting that this should be so, for it gave visible proof of the truth of Christianity. Miracles of this type still occur, but much more seldom; they are very exceptional. This, too, is fitting because, on the one hand, the truth of Christianity has been attested to enough; and, on the other, it leaves room for us to merit through faith. St. Jerome comments: "Miracles were necessary at the beginning to confirm the people in the faith. But, once the faith of the Church is confirmed, miracles are not necessary" ("Comm. In Marcum, in loc."). However, God still works miracles through saints in every generation, including our own.
19. The Lord's ascension into Heaven and His sitting at the right hand of the Father is the sixth article of faith confessed in the Creed. Jesus Christ went up into Heaven body and soul, to take possession of the Kingdom He won through His death, to prepare for us a place in Heaven (cf. Revelation 3:21) and to send the Holy Spirit to His Church (cf. "St. Pius X Cathechism", 123).
To say that He "sat at the right hand of God" means that Jesus Christ, including His humanity, has taken eternal possession of Heaven and that, being the equal of His Father in that He is God, He occupies the place of highest honor beside Him in His human capacity (cf. "St. Pius V Catechism", I, 7, 2-3). Already in the Old Testament the Messiah is spoken of as seated at the right hand of the Almighty, thereby showing the supreme dignity of Yahweh's Annointed (cf. Psalm 110:1). The New Testament records this truth here and also in many other passages (cf. Ephesians 1:20-22; Hebrews 1:13).
As the "St. Pius V Catechism" adds, Jesus went up to Heaven by His own power and not by any other. Nor was it only as God that He ascended, but also as man.
20. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the evangelist attests that the words of Christ have already begun to be fulfilled by the time of writing. The Apostles, in other words, were faithfully carrying out the mission of our Lord entrusted to them. They begin to preach the Good News of salvation throughout the known world. Their preaching was accompanied by the signs and wonders the Lord had promised, which lent authority to their witness and their teaching. Yet, we know that their apostolic work was always hard, involving much effort, danger, misunderstanding, persecution and even martyrdom--like our Lord's own life.
Thanks to God and also to the Apostles, the strength and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ has reached as far as us. But every Christian generation, every man and woman, has to receive the preaching of the Gospel and, in turn, pass it on. The grace of God will always be available to us: "Non est abbreviata manus Domini" (Isaiah 59:1), the power of the Lord has not diminished.

Watkin's Glen is an amazing spot for photography on the southern tip of Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in central New York. Most people know about Watkin's Glen because of the race track that hosts a NASCAR race every year. The photographer only has eyes for Watkin's Glen State Park. 2 miles of stream, dropping 400 feet in 19 waterfalls. Water is dripping down the walls of the gorge as well as along the stream! You will climb a TON of stairs, but the exercise is well worth it. You will walk behind waterfalls and have incredible views from so many different angles. Every time I go I shoot at least 200 pictures. The only downfall? Lots of other people there to see the sights…

Until the summer of 2012, we had never been to Cape Cod. My wife and I had travelled to Boston in the past and we Honeymooned along the coast of Maine, but we had never been to the Cape. My wife and I fell in love with Maine on our Honeymoon and have been back there a second time to revisit some of the amazing places we enjoyed. My wife and I had our greatest vacation as a couple when we spent a week in Hawaii on the island of Maui. That. Was. Pure. Bliss. We eventually plan on going back to Hawaii with the kids as soon as we can!!
During the summer of 2012, we got the chance…

Mortality's Mirror?
11 Apr 2014 Leave a comment
in Uncategorized Tags: baby, discover, grandfather, hope, mirror, mortality, new
I observed a very interesting viewpoint while watching a program earlier today. A new grandfather was asked how he felt about the beautiful, new, bouncing bundle of joy that just came into his life. He casually said that he had yet to see his new grandson and that he was hardly excited about it. The female character just looked at him with sheer amazement. She didn't know whether to shake him or hit him. He then said that when he looks into the face of a baby, he sees his own mortality; the baby's beginning and his end. Wow! It kind of makes you wonder how many others feel the same way.
When you look into the face of a baby, do you see your own mortality? Has this thought ever crossed your mind? You would think it would be hard to fathom such a morbid thought when looking at such purity,newness, and innocence that babies represent. You might agree that babies instill new hope, opportunities, fresh creativity, and a boundless need to discover the world for yourself; whether it's for the very first time or even if you're an old pro!
Push or shove?

in Uncategorized Tags: education, fallout, parenting colleague, parents, push, shove
When it comes to the words push and shove, you might say that they are one and the same. Or are they? Would you rather be pushed in different areas of your life or shoved? You may feel that being pushed in the direction of pursuing your dreams is a welcome and favorable action. In this case, you don't mind being pushed all day; if it's going to help propel you to where you need to go. It also may depend on who's doing the pushing. Now, lets talk about the word shove. Shove would seem to be the ruder term -vs- push, even if only by sound. Shove can imply taking someone by surprise and in essence can be viewed as aggressively pushing. Do think you would ever find yourself saying, I'm so glad my parents shoved me in the right direction concerning furthering my education? Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes, parents are pushy reflecting their particular style of parenting and may feel the need to aggressively shove their children to excel and become successful. But if a teacher or colleague were to do the same thing, you might very well take it defensively and feel more like you're being shoved. After it's all said and done, you may draw the conclusion that it really doesn't matter as long as the end result is a positive one. But remember, the true end result may be the fallout of all that pushing and shoving.
Is makeup sometimes a coverup?
09 Apr 2014 Leave a comment
It's always a beautiful thing to see when you spot someone who is wearing perfectly applied makeup. Would you agree? You know the type, the eye shadow is done with expert precision, the face makeup is seemingly flawless. Awesome right? Well, then there's the flip side. The person that is wearing heavy layers of "cover up", so much that if you were to see them without it, you might not even recognize them. Why do some people where such heavy paint on their faces? You may know someone who does this, or you may be a person who likes to spread the layers of foundations,powders,etc. on as thick as can be.
Please understand, I'm not against makeup. When it's done right, it can be a beautiful vision to behold. I don't wear it because my skin is very sensitive and I try not to do anything to stir up more problems. I apply a little lipstick/gloss and I'm out the door. Also, applying a full face of makeup takes time and energy. It's just one more thing to have to make time for and squeeze into an already jam-packed day.
Do you ever think that some people who put on all these layers of cake are maybe trying to hide the face that they are really unhappy with? Does each layer represent a new and deeper level of dissatisfaction with the face that they were born with? Kind of scary when you think about how thick some of these layers appear to be, mannequin-like in some cases. I say that because some people would not be caught dead or alive without their makeup "mask". For instance, someone drops by your house unexpectedly. You did not get the opportunity to put your face on, so you are frantic and at your wits end! No one can see you like this! What do you do? Do you scream to the person through your closed front door, that they need to come back later? Or do you take your chances and open the door bracing for whatever reaction you might get?
If you quit, I will support you…..

When you read the title of this article, what comes to mind? When it was said to me, it blew my mind! I learned some very sobering truths during what turned out to be an enlightening conversation with a friend. Now, I was already aware that she is a very hardworking person and is very driven in her career and is very successful as a result. She shared with me that her mom has always been against her decision to become a doctor; hence the title of this post. Have you ever heard of such a thing? This would be some parents' dream; their son or daughter aspiring to become a doctor and working diligently to make that happen.
Nonetheless, my friend's mom has consistently, even to this day, encouraged her daughter to try other professions; anything other than the medical field. I could only look my friend with pure amazement and curiosity. As I continued to listen, her mother's thinking began to have a very sensible rationale behind it; one that never occurred to me. It turns out her mom was only trying to spare her daughter the harsh realities of the vicious grind and obscene trespassing that would overtake her personal life; both non-negotiable and unavoidable factors of aspiring to this profession. This truly was an "aha" moment for me! I totally get where my friend's mom is coming from. But, I still want to know what you think! Would you ever say this to your children, spouse, friend, etc.? Or, would you just let them be?
Do you believe in miracles?

in Uncategorized Tags: accident, believe, luck, miracles
Do you believe in miracles? If you've never experienced a miracle, your answer to this question might be no. After all, these so-called miracles seem to happen to "other" people, not you. You've heard about people coming so close to death, they could almost taste it. Or how about the person that experienced a near miss in a car accident that by all appearances should have been fatal? Yes, these instances definitely fit the category of "miracle". But again, if you've never had the the pleasure of encountering a miracle, it may seem like a bunch of hogwash to you.
And who could blame you? You've had some close calls yourself, but you never went as far as to claim them as "miracles". You were once tossed over the side of a boat due to choppy waters. You hit your head on the edge of the boat just before you hit the water. Thanks to your quick-thinking boating buddies, your life was spared as a result of them diving in and bringing you back above water and into the boat. You lost consciousness and could have certainly lost your life but you were spared. Miracle? Some might say, absolutely! You might call it sheer luck! But you can't help but acknowledge that death almost kissed you on the head that day, but you chalk it up to some kind of winning streak or odds being in your favor. Even though, this accident happened several years ago, the memory of it is still as fresh in your mind as the water was that day you went crashing into it. There's not a day that goes by that you don't think about it. But the question still remains…..do you believe in miracles?

Merry/Happy Christmas Eve, Posse! Here are (finally, sorry about the wait) the quotes of the week! Have a great Christmas! :)
< Best of the Adipose livestreams >
Winnie the Pooh with Izzie
Adi: "This is a stream that Izzie might like. Which is the greatest idea for a stream ever, watching a young girl play a game she MIGHT like."
Adi: "Sadly, I do not think Izzie is very enthralled by this game. Maybe you're too young. Maybe you can watch it when you're older. Like in a week."
Adi: "I will turn down the volume of the game, because otherwise Tinydancer will probably be like "THE GAME'S TOO LOUD" in that charming German way of hers."
[Labradite is happy for HS at the end of SoC. Couldn't deal with WotP]
Adi: "For some reason Lab is talking in acronyms and I don't understand."
Adi: "Oh no he's got a taunt. I didn't realize that. Well, I did realize it, but I conveniently forgot."
Adi: "Really? Really? You're giving me an Annoy-o-tron to annoy me, and my fifth – MY FIFTH – Gilbin Stalker! I do not need five of these! I didn't even need ONE! It's just there to irritate me, along with Annoy-o-tron. Actually, they should call this Annoy-o-tron, because that one is vaguely useful sometimes."
[Adi streaming at like 3 AM for Americans]
Labradite: "*** adialarm. Morning Krentaris and Adi."
Adi: [laughs] "I always love it when people leave their computers on and then we start streaming
and we wake them up in the middle of the night. It's a nice feeling isn't it. To know that people on the other side of the world are going f-k, Adi!"
Krentaris: "Who did we wake up?"
Adi: "Labradite. Success!"
tabitenor17: "Well. That woke me up."
Adi: "Oh excellent, we woke up Tabi too."
[Adi underneath the desk trying to install his monitor]
Krentaris: "Hey, guys, while Adi's gone, I'm gonna hit end turn early and hope he times out."
Adi: "What did you say?"
Krentaris: "Good luck!"

Adi: "You've been fantastic, and if I could say that backwards – oooh there's a ladder! Where does it go? Oh it's a broken ladder."
Adi: "So we need to kill that one first, and then un-kill it, and then kill this other one, but as long as he stays alive, we don't need to kill him again. Am I being thick here or does that make sense?"

[Adi opens the floor to questions from the chat]
Pete: "What – someone just asked what our favorite biscuits are?"

Now that's he's told us how to properly distance ourselves from anything that isn't Android, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt is now predicting the future. In a Bloomberg "Ask a Billionaire" segment on YouTube, Schmidt claims the sprint away from traditional computing has seen it's day, declaring mobile technology the winner. He also says that in 2014, everyone will have a smartphone.
While perhaps a bit of hubris, he does hit on a salient topic, and that's feature phones holding a place in the market. Easy to get — and easily affordable — some simply prefer feature phones to smartphones. Others don't particularly need smartphones, or find the technology over their head a bit.
Schmidt may feel the mobile race has been had, but it also makes us ask just what mobility is. Schmidt says "There are now tablets and phones being sold than personal computers. People are moving to this new architecture very fast", which we won't argue with. But if the trend is asking toward mobile, we'd be interested to know how Schmidt feels about Chromebooks and their recent surge in a dying segment.
The Google Chairman also laid a bit of groundwork for Calico, noting that collecting medical data would be important to research and driving the field of genetic research. If you're wondering where Schmidt felt Google screwed up, it's social. He takes responsibility for not anticipating the social media "phenomenon" during his tenure, and acting appropriately. Though they have Google+, Google is still trailing in regard to popularity and users when compared to other platforms.

For years I've lived with the scratch because you really cannot see it unless the doors are closed AND you are sitting to the right of it, which with most of the furniture configurations I've gone through wouldn't be practice for TV viewing.
Remember what I said about not making it worse? Well I almost went Tim-the-Toolman on it, but luckily I realized quickly that wasn't helping and stopped before the scratch got too wide. Even with just a piece of sandpaper I found I was doing more harm than good so I moved on to the next step.

What Our Grads Say
Sumita Leonard '15
My name is Sumita Leonard, known to many as Sumi. I graduated Roberts in May 2015.
Right out of college, I got hired to teach 2nd Grade at Rochester Prep West Elementary School. I never imagined working at a Charter School, but I'm glad to have started my career journey in one.
As a first year teacher, this year has been full of challenges and growth. I always doubted my capability as a teacher. Being an international student who grew up in India, I lacked understanding of American school dynamics and atmosphere. Roberts Teacher Education definitely instilled a clear passion and drive in me to challenge myself and step into deep waters. The classroom experience right from freshman year built confidence.
The Teacher Education Department helped me prepare to not only be an inspiring teacher, but to be an inspiring human being. Their passion for developing and shaping teachers is rooted in their Christ-like eagerness to serve all people. As I head to Phnom Penh in Cambodia to teach 4th Grade and continue my journey as a teacher, I am forever grateful for my four years as part of the Roberts Teacher Education program.
Kendra Zaffuto '12
Kendra chose Roberts because it had everything she was looking for: a solid education in a tight-knit and supportive community. Reflecting on her undergraduate days at Roberts, Kendra said "Not only did Roberts give me the academic and spiritual foundation that I needed for my career, but the people of Roberts taught me through example how to build strong relationships and make a difference in the lives of my students."
"Academically, my undergraduate and graduate teacher education professors provided guidance and insight as I worked my way through my coursework and the job application process, which was very helpful," said Kendra. "I would not be the person I am today if it were not for these people helping me though my college years," she said.
Kendra is a sixth grade math and social studies teacher at Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women, which is also her alma mater. The sixth grade program has grown from two classrooms and 36 students in 2012 to 69 students and three classrooms in 2016.
Teaching is often referred to as a "calling". Despite its many challenges, teaching offers rewards that go far beyond the classroom. Her advice for future educators would be to make the most out of their field placements and stay resilient in their search to find the teaching position that is right for them. "I would like to reassure current Roberts students that they will be well-prepared to enter the teaching profession after graduation," said Kendra.
Stephanie Morse,'08
The TED department at RWC prepared me well for a successful teaching career. I am going on my 9th year as a teacher and still revert back to what my amazing professors taught me. From learning how to read a book aloud to my students, to how to create and administer assessments... RWC makes me a proud alumni!
Jackie Corbett, '15
After graduating in May of 2015, I interviewed for and accepted a full time teaching position in the Canandaigua City School District for the upcoming fall. Currently, I teach 6th grade math at the Canandaigua Middle School.
I have also had the opportunity to coach a Canandaigua travel basketball team as well as volunteer with the modified basketball teams and varsity soccer program. This school year has been filled with several opportunities to learn and grow as an educator. Having my own classroom has been a dream come true!
I truly value the education I received at Roberts Wesleyan College. The professors invest in the lives of their students and I felt prepared once I graduated and began the job search. Through my education classes, observation experiences, and student teaching, I built confidence in my skills in the classroom. This department also focuses on life after college, including applying for jobs and the interview process. Roberts Wesleyan helped to propel me forward into a job that I absolutely love!

All day
- Organized by the project HISMEDI of the University Carlos III of Madrid, this symposium aims to bring together experts who address the challenges and opportunities of digital history projects for the period 1936-1975, the role of new technologies and media on the transmission, dissemination and circulation of traumatic past, as well as the contribution of social players to history and memory
Conflicts that took place during the 20th century in European societies due to the rise of political exclusion movements such as Nazism, Fascism, Francoism and Stalinism have had long-lasting effects, namely in countries that have not implemented measures to foster the knowledge of those traumatic periods through remembrance and democratic culture policies.
In Spain, the Civil War and Franco's regime are the bases on which history and the collective memory of a violent past are present. Information technologies, social media and transmedia resources have enabled the emergence of multiple players that contribute to the dissemination of history in a way that goes beyond the academic world, moving to the digital arena, to a collective memory that shares memories and digital resources as a huge network with different goals, amongst them, to protest.

In an interesting partnership between GungHo and Nintendo , they'll be bringing a Super Mario themed Puzzle and Dragons to the 3DS in Japan at the end of April.
GungHo is one of the largest game publishers in Japan and their wildly successful Puzzle and Dragons games have already been downloaded 32 million times in the region.
While we've already had the 3DS port Puzzle and Dragons Z, that has to date sold around 1.5 million copies in Japan, this is a more bespoke release for the handheld likely due to the success of the previous game.
The main difference with this release is the emphasis on story and overworld progression, with Nintendo apparently having a large amount of creative input on that.
The scenario being that Mario must save Princess Peach via various puzzle battles after being kidnapped, while Mario et al were distracted by the new "Drop" character (shown above). Pretty standard Nintendo and Super Mario fare really.

At the same time as juggling deadlines for the July cushion, I am trying to finish two crochet blankets. When will they be finished? Er. How long is a piece of wool. No really, I want to use as much of the wool as possible. So I will make them as large as possible.I've just joined on another piece to Shelley's blanket, and it is now doubled in size. It's just big enough to go over her body. Really needs to be bigger. Of course, ends must also be sewn in.
I'd better get cracking on Rhette's blanky now. I need to finish them at the same time you see... siblings. ;)

The case study presents the results of a lecture on information rights and ethics with 50 Master students in library and information sciences (LIS) at the University of Lille (France) in 2014–2015. Students were asked to comment on the core principles of the International Federation of Library Association (IFLA) Code of Ethics.
The students see the library as a privileged space of access to information, where the librarian takes on the function of a guardian of this specific individual freedom—a highly political role and task.
This opinion is part of a general commitment to open access and free flowing resources on Internet. They emphasize the social responsibility toward the society as a whole but most of all toward the individual patron as a real person, member of a cultural community, a social class or an ethnic group.
With regard to Human Rights, the students interpret the IFLA Code mainly as a code of civil, political, and critical responsibility to endorse the universal right of freedom of expression.
They see a major conflict between ethics and policy. The findings are followed by some recommendations for further development of LIS education, including internship, transversality, focus on conflicts and the students' cognitive dissonance and teaching of social skills, in terms of work-based solidarity and collective choices.
The chapter is qualitative research based on empirical data from a French LIS Master program.

The participants of the ESADE Madrid Executive MBA (EMBA) programme attended an enthralling session on global geo-politics and economics given by Javier Solana, President of ESADE Geo. The event took place on Thursday 6th of March.
The main subject of discussion was the crisis in The Ukraine — something that was then a burning subject of debate. The talk covered the background to the crisis, its consequences for the world and expectations of how it would develop.
¨Both the content and delivery were superb and had the audience spellbound. Solana shared interesting historical moments with the audience and clarified the issues¨.
A wonderful talk, it was a privilege to hear Solana speak.

Conor McGregor
Not just the UFC champion
But a law of attraction MASTER
He was champion in his mind long before he ever had the belt around his waist.
If you have a vision or a thought in your mind and you can feel the feelings associated with it, feel the sense of calm come over you that it is achieved, the satisfaction, the tingles
If you get those feelings YOU CAN ACHIEVE THAT DESIRE
stay focussed on those feelings. On the abundance. Don't let fear come back in to bring you back to self doubt.
Stay focussed on the positive and as you do the law of attraction is working for you. As you raise your vibration it brings that dream closer to manifesting in your reality.
Check out the video below to see what I'm talking about…..

New brand campaign underscores Boost's commitment to empowering customers to get the most they can out of a wireless plan
IRVINE, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE), May 11, 2017 - Boost Mobile introduces its new brand campaign, "Project Switch." With its "Boost makes it easy to switch. Switching to Boost makes it easy to save." tagline, the new national marketing and advertising campaign encourages customers to make the switch to Boost by highlighting just how easy it is to switch, and how switching makes it easy to save.
The new TV spot makes its premiere today in major markets, including Los Angeles, New York, Dallas and Miami. The ads were shot in a Boost Mobile Next Generation store, a new retail concept that is all about creating an atmosphere where people can better interact with staff in a modern, design-forward setting, while easily learning about products and services. The elevated stores are more streamlined and provide the customer clarity on phones, current offers and promotions. Boost Mobile expects to open more than 1,000 Next Generation stores by year end.
"Project Switch" highlights customer pain points with competing carriers and how switching to Boost is the solution. Not only does Boost help resolve category issues but Boost also makes it easy to switch. "Project Switch" is also supported with the introduction of a new multi-line offer, 4 Lines for $1001 each with unlimited gigs of high-speed data2. With MetroPCS, customers only get two gigs of high-speed data per line for the same $100. In addition, consumers who make the switch are also eligible for four free phones3.
"We are excited to introduce a new campaign that is focused on simplicity and ease of switching to Boost," said Angela Rittgers, chief marketing officer, Boost Mobile. "For everyone who is tired of overpaying for their wireless plan, it is time to 'Make the Switch.' For only $25 per line customers get unlimited high-speed data on the fast and reliable Sprint Nationwide Network, which is an amazing value not available anywhere else. We look forward to welcoming customers to see our Next Generation stores and offer them the best in choice, value and service."
The "Make the Switch" spot will air in both English and Spanish as :15 and :30 versions on network and cable properties such as CW, ABC, Fox, NBC, Univision, Telemundo, MTV, VH1, TNT, TBS, USA, E!, ESPN, BET, Unimas, NBC Universo, and ESPN Deportes. The commercial was directed by Chris Hooper, known for creating engaging comedic moments in campaigns for Buffalo Wild Wings, DirecTV and Walmart. The full campaign will also include out-of-home and digital advertising.
The "Project Switch" campaign was developed and produced in partnership with Schiefer Chopshop, a full-service media and creative agency in Irvine, Calif., which developed the campaign for television, radio, out-of-home, digital advertising, and social media advertising.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Lindsay Olson.
Lindsay, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
After hours of training, I strapped on my dosimeter and stepped into the 4-mile long particle accelerator that uses 1,000 superconducting magnets to steer and control mysterious particles called neutrinos. The dosimeter measures radiation exposure, and I was working my first day as an artist at Fermilab.
I make art about science and my work takes me out of the studio to places like this: a cavernous ring of equipment designed to accelerate tiny bits of matter at near the speed of light. Here, scientists want to crack open the secrets of neutrinos. And I want to explain it—through art.
Art and science are deeply human endeavors. How scientific research is communicated to the public needs imaginative, creative storytellers who connect scientific discoveries to human experience in exciting ways. My studio practice is inspired by the urgent need to shift public opinion and place scientific research in the center of policy discussions. Images can touch people in ways words cannot. By using my training as an artist, I work to create engaging art that helps the public approach an intimidating subject: scientific research.
We're always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we've spoken with enough people to know that it's not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
For many people, science seems like an insurmountable subject. One of those people includes me, but this changed when I realized I could use my training as an artist to learn scientific concepts.
For years, I had been painting idealized views of Chicago area waterways, but I had been editing out the built environment. All this changed on a canoe trip down the Cal Sag Channel. I bumped into an engineered waterfall built by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. The process of finding out who built this structure and why led me to the world's largest wastewater treatment plant in Stickney, Ill. I suddenly realized that if I used my training as an artist, I could learn enough engineering to create art that tells the real story of water in a dense urban area. I actually fell in love with science in the middle of a waste water treatment plant.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory later invited me to help them establish an artist residency and learn about their research. Working with the lab made me realize that I'm not afraid to learn even high energy physics. Now I want everyone to know that you don't need a Ph.D. to fall in love with science.
We'd love to hear more about your business.
All my projects have three important phases: learning accurate science, creating engaging art and generating opportunities to reach the public by booking art exhibitions, lectures and by publishing articles.
My work is full immersion. I interview scientists, participate in intensive training, read books and articles, visit labs and engineering sites and attend popular science lectures. This is the scaffolding from which I create my art.
To create art, I research art, history and culture to mine inspiration. I filter this inspiration through my life experience to create art that distills complex science into accessible art.
Once the work is complete, I book exhibitions at libraries, universities, regional art centers, conferences and other unusual places. I write articles and lecture widely.
Creating collaborative teams is central to my work. I work with scientists, communications staff and engineers to learn the science that informs my art. Dr. Don Lincoln, senior scientist at Fermilab; Dick Lanyon, retired director of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Chicago; mycologists Dr. Patrick Leacock at The Field Museum of Natural History, and senior scientist Dr. Greg Mueller at the Chicago Botanic Garden are a few of the people who provide me with information and inspiration for my projects.
What were you like growing up?
I struggled academically and grew up the oddball child in a family that worshiped words. No one predicted that a list of subatomic particles, images of water cleaning bacteria and a battered hard hat would reside so comfortably with the art materials that are the tools of my trade.
Many of the women in my family are needlers and I am a 4th generation knitter. I grew up among the domestic textile arts and studied fashion design in college. Later, I returned to Columbia College Chicago as a mature student to study fine art. Blending art, textiles and science feels like a natural extension of my experiences and training.

Roasted Eggplant Soup
Wishing all my readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Trust you are all having a great time with your family and love ones :-)
This Roasted Eggplant Soup is just the perfect hot fix for a cold winter evening. It's creamy, satisfying and simple to make. I like to serve this soup with a couple of crispy and slightly salty Bacon Toasts. I will post the bacon toast recipe next.
Roasted Eggplant Soup
2 (About 950 g) Medium Eggplants, cubed (1 inch)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
¼ tsp Sea Salt
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Large Yellow Onions, peeled and finely shopped
2 Cloves Garlic, peeled and chopped
1 Large Potato, peeled and diced
2 Tins/Cans (794/28 oz)) Diced/Chopped Tomatoes
4 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
A handful Fresh Coriander, chopped
1 tsp Ground Cumin
¼ tsp Smoked Paprika Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
Toss the eggplants with ½ tsp cumin, sea salt, and 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large baking tray. Roast in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes or until soft.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot; add onion and garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture until soft and translucent but not brown in color. Then turn the heat on high and mix in the eggplants, potato, tomatoes, coriander, cumin, and paprika. Sauté the mixture for about 3 to 5 minutes, and add the chicken or vegetable stock. Then bring it to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Allow the soup mixture to cool slightly before you puree it with a handheld blender. Bring the soup back to the boil and season with some salt and pepper. Serve warm with some crusty bacon toast.
Serves 6

Looks great, but not familiar with your writing style. is that 2 eggplants @ 950 gr. each, or 2 eggplants with a total weight of 950 grams?ReplyDelete
@Anonymous: It's 2 eggplants with a total weight of 950 grams.ReplyDelete
I have eggplant in my fridge that I've been wondering what to do with! I'm making this! (Found you on pinterest)ReplyDelete
I'm not a fan of eggplant, but somehow yours look really good, and the thought of having this with your bacon toasts sound fantastic!ReplyDelete
Nice eggplant soup!ReplyDelete

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - The Second Cup Ltd. CEO says "active conversations are already underway" for possible acquisitions as it plans to change its name and business structure.
"(We're) looking for brands that can benefit from the operational expertise that we've developed over more than 40 years in the Canadian foodservice industry," wrote Steven Pelton in an email. Pelton was appointed to the top post in May, succeeding Garry Macdonald, who retired from the position.
"A great example might be a regional brand that's poised to grow further and needs support to expand nationally."
The company announced Friday it intends to change its name to Aegis Brands Inc. -- a move that is subject to approvals from shareholders and the Toronto Stock Exchange, where its shares are listed.
Pelton will be chief executive of Aegis Brands, which will own and operate the existing Second Cup Coffee Co. as one of a portfolio of brands.
The new name means to sponsor, support or protect, the company said, and is intended to reflect the benefits the parent company structure will offer the brands that operate under it.
So far, the only brand is Second Cup, but the company is looking to acquire other players in the coffee, foodservice and cannabis sectors.
It's too soon to say how many acquisitions the company will make and over what period of time, said Pelton.
But conversations are already underway, said Pelton, "with a goal to grow as soon as possible, and in responsible manner."
It's hard to define an exact budget, he said, and acquisition terms could include cash, shares, debt or a combination of those.
The company had $12.336 million in cash and cash equivalents as of Sept. 28, 2019, according to its most recent financial filings released Friday.
"If we decide to take on debt, it would always be at a very responsible rate and a very low multiple of our earnings."
The name change was announced as Second Cup reported a third-quarter loss as sales at its cafes fell from the same time last year.
The corporation posted a $762,000 net loss and a $62,000 adjusted net loss with about $6.7 million of revenue. System sales were $32.9 million and same-store sales, a key metric for retailers, fell 2.9 per cent.
Net loss was four cents per share and adjusted net loss per share was insignificant.
The adjusted loss excluded a reduction in the value of Second Cup's investment in National Access Cannabis warrants.
A year earlier, Second Cup had a $766,000 net profit, and $432,000 adjusted net profit with about $5.9 million of revenue and $35.7 million of system sales from its cafes.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 8, 2019.

This Land Is Your Land at the Concert for Obama
I just had to post this, one of the most meaningful moments of the big concert for Barack Obama held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on Sunday.
Bruce Springsteen backing the folk music legend Pete Seeger, leading hundreds of thousands of people in Woody Guthrie's anthem, This Land Is Your Land.
Seeger is 89 years old. He looks spry and delighted -- and, as a friend of mine put it, as if he had been waiting all his life for this moment.

Australia -- Tamworth Time. The World's Biggest Country Music Festival?
The camping sites are filled with tents and motorhomes while the streets are full of buskers hoping to be discovered.
About 50,000 people will come into Tamworth to see everyone from local country music hero Troy Cassar Daly to the Dolly Parton Tribute Show.
This year's festival is the 37th edition of the event, one of Australia's stand-out summer entertainment attractions. According to a history of the festival on the festival web site
Tamworth has been home to country music since 1973 when the city snapped up the label of Country Music Capital, stuck to its advertising guns and staged the first ever Australasian Country Music Awards.
But even before then Tamworth was hosting special country music sessions and concerts. The CCMA or Capital Country Music Association has been spotlighting new talent in country music for 40 years from Tamworth. There's a deep heritage and culture of country here.
It had come on the back of the radio tradition of playing hillbilly in the middle of the night and a radio transmission signal reach all over eastern Australia and even to New Zealand.
It was Max Ellis and John Minson and their marketing mates from radio station 2TM who pushed the new brand.
Reading the web site is like reading a report from a parallel universe: the language is English and the pictures of guitar-strumming dudes and dudettes in cowboy hats could be from the U.S., but the names of the performers are other specific references are totally down under.

Pete Seeger for Nobel Prize?
I'm posting this here, as Seeger was incredibly influential in sparking the rich country and bluegrass scene that developed in what was then communist Czechoslovakia in the mid-1960s.
To the hundreds of young musicians who play bluegrass in the Czech Republic today it may seem like ancient history. But a series of concerts Pete gave in CZ in March 1964 were almost legendary as a catalyst.
Seeger, an avowed leftist who was blacklisted for a time in America, was on a world tour, and he was booked by the official Czechoslovak concert agency in part because of his politics. He was allowed to perform, his friend Gene Deitch recalled to me in 2007, "an example of a 'progressive' American performer, singing for the rights of the 'oppressed American masses,'" and "all those living in the darkness of [the] 'imperialist' American society."
At his Prague concert -- which Deitch recorded and released on CD (issued in 2001 as Pete Seeger in Prague 1964, Flyright FLY CD 68) -- Seeger played a mix of traditional American folk songs, songs from other cultures and even a few folk revival protest songs. His performances electrified his audiences of fans of tramp music, the acoustic music that was part and parcel of the "tramp" outdoors movement that grew up in CZ after World War I, and changed the face of the Czech acoustic music scene.
My friend Lilly Pavlak saw him in Brno. Seeger, she told me, "sang a lot of songs we knew from tramp music, and so I realized that they must be American originals, not just tramp songs. That was the defining moment not just for me, but for the entire bluegrass movement that followed."
Seeger described one of the concerts in a letter: "Last night I had my first concert [in Czechoslovakia], with a shaky weak voice. Plunged bravely on, with help of a very nice woman interpreter. Audience exceedingly friendly, but very shy. Like blues especially. Listened politely through my singing of strange and unfamiliar things. Stood clapping for ten minutes at end. O, maybe seven. But I was mightily flattered. Maybe partly it was because I was the first American
performer in 18 years to have sung in Brno. But I could not get them to open up and really sing." (Quoted in Todd Harvey and Steven Winnick, "The Incompleat Filmmakers: The Little-Known Career of Pete and Toshi Seeger," Folklife Center News, Winter/Spring 2006, pg. 7. )

South Africa -- Country Music's Comeback?
I don't know enough about country music in South Africa to have any inkling where it's coming back from... still, as the article puts it "it is fabulous that Limpopo also has its share of country singers." The article, a little profile of a local singer, Will Jordan, traces a totally new geography....
Will Jordan is one of country's "old-timers". He works part-time in Polokwane and lives in Mokopane. Country music is, however, not Jordan's only claim to fame. This is a multi-talented entertainer who has much to offer his audience.
Besides country music, Jordan also sings opera, gospel and Afrikaans hits. He plays various musical instruments including the piano and guitar. He also does over 25 impersonations including Gé Korsten, Elvis Presley and Willy Nelson.
And he finds time to write songs for himself and others. "I have always had a love for country music. I grew up to the music of Elvis Presley and always admired Gé Korsten and Engelbert Humperdinck." Jordan is definitely one of SA's country stars.
When the Angola war was still on, he performed for the "manne" together with Al Debbo. He has been on programmes such as Voorblad, Geraas, Maak 'n Las (in Tolla's time) and Front Row. This year he will appear on an exciting new programme on Kyknet called Kyknet Country, which is hosted by Juanita du Plessis.
Jordan says it is about time that country makes a comeback and reckons there has been no country music show on SA television for just over ten years. Jordan has performed with the likes of Lance James, Bobby Angel, Matt Hurter and Billy Forrest and says these gents have inspired him. He also expressed his gratitude to Kallie and Marianne Snyman for their support. His CD, titled For You, that was released last year is currently available at music stores or can be ordered by internet. This CD follows his first two CDs, Love Changes Everything and So Veel Jare is Verby.

Keith Urban -- From Outer Rim to Inner Circle
"I was raised on 100 per cent American country music. My intention has always been to improve the quality of Australian country music and to use the quality of American country music as a benchmark for that."Urban may or may not have improved the quality of Australian country music, but he did move to Nashville and become an international star, crossing, as his biographer Jeff Apter put it "the great divide that separates rowdy outback pubs from the red carpet of the Grammys."
The Sydney Morning Herald now has an article reviewing Apter's new book, Fortunate Son: The Unlikely Rise Of Keith Urban, that tells how one of Australia's most famous cultural exports did it, moving from the backwoods to the center and making compromises to achieve success.
This is a story about the tension between artistic integrity and commercial success. It is the story of how individuality was crushed and an Australian country singer became a superstar. Oh, yes, and got the girl in the final reel.....
When Urban arrived on the Australian country music scene he was a true renegade. At the time country music was about bush ballads sung by Slim and Smoky in very Aussie accents.
Urban, looking like a countrified version of Billy Idol, wanted to reinvent the genre...
So, after Tamworth [Australia's major country music festival] rather begrudgingly acknowledged his talent (he had won a Tamworth Golden Guitar award for best new talent and, at 16, had won best junior male vocalist), Urban headed for Nashville.
What no one realised at the time was that Urban was so driven and focused that he was prepared to stay in Nashville until he succeeded and, as he would eventually discover, he would do anything, including making a truly Faustian deal with his record company, to achieve success.
To understand the choices that Urban confronted it is necessary to realise that country music in the United States is an eternal battle between pop country and trad country.

The Social Justice Coalition (SJC) wants the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) to join its court bid for a review of how Schabir Shaik was released on medical parole.
The coalition says it wrote to Correctional Services Minister Ngconde Balfour almost two weeks ago and asked him to institute a high court review of the grounds on which Shaik was released.
They also want an independent panel of medical experts nominated by the SAHRC and the Judicial Inspectorate of Prisons to examine Shaik and submit reports to the court.

DUBAI — AI-powered shop assistants know what you want to buy before you do, and have an innate sense of how to meet customer needs.
In the age of Artificial Intelligence, anything is possible as retailers eagerly embrace new technology to create a shopping experience driven by the demands of millennials and Gen Z consumers.
"Today's shoppers are scrolling, not strolling," said Chieh Huang, CEO of Boxed, the American online and mobile membership-free wholesale retailer.
"On-the-go millennials and Gen Z consumers are all about convenient shopping experiences. To meet the needs of younger, tech-savvy shoppers, retailers are investing in channels that make shopping feel less like a chore."
Huang will be among more than 60 speakers descending on Dubai next month for The Retail Summit, an important new event bringing together 600 international retailers from every business sector.
Taking place at Atlantis, The Palm on Feb. 13-14, and to be held in partnership with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Meydan One, the event is being launched in response to the digital disruption and change in consumer expectations that are transforming retail.
While major organizations may dominate the retail revolution, Huang said small operators will not be far behind. "As large retailers work on improving their digital experiences for shoppers, we›re going to see a heavy investment in developing proprietary technology," he says. "The biggest impact to retail business will be the shift in the perception of retailers as technology companies."
"As retailers create new software to accelerate and innovate their services, they›ll branch out to license their technology to other companies— similar to what we›ve seen with the Amazon Web Service (AWS) model.
"Many regional and smaller grocers will license software and fulfillment technology from digital-first companies to support their burgeoning e-commerce capabilities."
"From one-click ordering on mobile apps, to subscription services and predictive reordering, to shoppable Instagram posts, retailers are making it easier to capture consumer attention. The challenge lies in striking a balance between maintaining your identity as a retailer and establishing a profitable technology business."
With millennials and Gen Z set to make up the majority of purchasing power, another top speaker at The Retail Summit says it's vital to recognise that the two groups have distinct characteristics.
"First, they really are different generations," emphasized Steve Evans, Senior Vice President of American fashion designer Fossil. "Millennials served as pioneer users of technology while Gen Zs were born with it.
"We see Millennials more focused on digital-only experiences and they are often looking to discover what's 'next'. Gen Zs are clear and comfortable with their personal suite of technology. Both expect to be communicated with in a customized and personal way."
Evans says technology has enhanced the science of data collection and predictive analytics, creating a real opportunity to develop the art of both data collection and insights.
He added: "In the end, it all comes down to understanding the consumer's journey in order to best serve their needs and this is happening in real time, which is a major shift in how we have historically worked."
"Here's what hasn't changed – consumers care about getting a great product that is right for them. They also expect a great experience, whether it's through the right digital ads, in-store experiences or the selection of products offered to them."
Headline speakers attending The Retail Summit 2019 in Dubai include billionaire entrepreneur and Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson, Hamad Buamim, President & CEO, Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and beauty powerhouse Huda Kattan, founder and CEO of Huda Beauty, one of the most successful and fastest growing new brands to be launched this decade.
With a packed agenda featuring inspiring topics of discussion across the two-day Summit, other industry heavyweights confirmed to participate include:
• Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer, The LEGO Group
• Lorenzo Viglione, CEO, Moleskine
• Mona Kattan, Co-founder and Global President, Huda Beauty
• Christina Scocchia, CEO, Kiko Milano
The Retail Summit is supported by event partners Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Meydan One; Silver partners: Black Jack, CBRE, KPMG, Openbravo, SAP, Umdasch and Xpandretail; Strategic partners: BJSS, Cegid, Lava Moments and Nook. — SG
