The problem of Yellow journalism and fake news
1809 Jae Yeon Shin
Today, modern people are living under the influence of the press. Also, the power of the press is very strong. Most ordinary people read newspapers in the morning and get news from the radio or TV about once a day. Also, Internet news has become more accessible these days because of the development of the Internet. The media is increasingly becoming an information society because it makes us aware of the information. It is impossible to maintain neutrality at all times because it is human to form such a media, and problems such as distortion and cover-up are occurring intentionally. These days, there is a growing problem in the press with exaggeration and fake news. So I would like to talk about exaggeration of press, yellow journalism. Yellow journalism refers to the tendency to excessively cover and report sensational and immoral articles to attract readers. Yellow journalism originated in the 1890s when it referred to the tricks used in the fierce competition between <New York City's World> and <Journal>. Joseph Pulitzer took over New York's <World> in 1883 and secured America's best circulation through colorful, sensational articles and extensive propaganda. Pulitzer believes that 'The newspaper is right and teach to make wrong things right'. He also thought that 'boring newspaper crime'. For this reason, he wrote cartoons and photographs in a splendid way, created a new sports department to treat sports articles with great importance, and started a Sunday edition that focuses on interest and entertainment. And in the process, yellow journalism was born by appealing to sensationalism to attract readers' attention.
Next, I will try to use an example of yellow journalism. It's an exaggeration of opinion polls. Polls have different results depending on which region and who. In some cases, however, the poll and the actual results are different. For example, during Trump and Hillary's presidential campaign, polls showed Clinton with an overwhelming majority. But when Trump was actually elected, there were more votes from Trump. This shows that the results could be different depending on which region the poll is looking at.
The deepening of Yellow journalism makes the exact reconstruction of reality impossible and increases the risk of factual distortion and misinformation in articles. Recently, there have been much fake news and biased reports through the media, which have become insensitive in deciding their opinions in the media and in the delivery of information. The most basic function of the media is factual delivery. If this yellow journalism is spread and neglected, it will at some point enter a society where the objectivity of information cannot be preserved. Yellow journalism is interpreted as a desperate measure to survive the competition amid the steep downward trend of the newspaper industry, but this is just a sweet poison that fuels the specification of the media market.
I've come to recognize the problems that are happening in the media as I see this deepening yellow journalism or fake news. Of course, because they are a person, I think it is impossible to maintain neutrality always. However, I think that when reporters tell people objective facts, they should make fact judgments and write articles. People have the right to know objective facts about events, not biased information. I think the reader's view is to make up their minds by reading various articles. There are also many articles that are provocative by using words that attract attention to the title, but when you go in there, there are many articles that do not contain much content. I don't think it's right in moral terms to write provocative articles for their own good. It is very important for a journalist to keep his press ethics. I also think that the person involved in the article should refrain from such provocative articles because they can be hurt and misperceived. These journalists in order to solve the problem should act according to media ethics. The ethics of the press are the moral standards that people in the media should follow in carrying out their daily duties. The media has many important social functions and its influence is palpable, so journalism ethics is especially important among many job ethics. Many people can get the wrong information because of the media's large influence. That's why I think the press should keep the ethics of the press. Readers also need to read many articles so that they can look at events from various perspectives and develop the ability to detect false information or exaggerated facts. If journalists and readers work together like this, I think we can make the right press.

short charging period of the pulse repetition cycle and is said to be high otherwise.
If, however, the two resistors R1 and R2 are of equal magnitude but the capacitors C1 and C2 are not equal in magnitude, then the exponential discharge curves are not mirrored about the ground reference potential and a non-zero voltage is presentedA. The amplifier (A) 28, in turn, develops an output voltage Vout to maintain its negative input terminal at the same voltage as its positive input terminal, namely, ground reference. If the discharge times are sufficiently long to allow the capacitors to substantially completely discharge to ground reference potential, then the integrated voltage between the two discharge curves may be represented substantially by equation (1):
Unlike the transfer functions for capacitance sensors in prior art, this equation does not include, on the right hand side, a denominator containing C1, or C2, or both, which reduces the magnitude of Vout. Also, constant stray capacitance does not effect Vout. Moreover, unlike prior art embodiments in which the magnitude of the excitation voltage V is the only means to increase sensitivity, the present embodiment has additional means for achieving high sensitivity by suitably increasing the magnitudes of Rf and f.
In operation, the circuit measures differential capacitance change in the capacitors C4 and C5 when an object intrudes into the emitted electrical field as in a double plate proximity sensor. A single plate proximity sensor is realized by omitting one of the plates 42 or 44. If R1 and R2 are selected to be equal in value, the output signal Vout for the double plate embodiment is given substantially by equation (2):
Further, this circuit is adaptable to sensors for characterization of materials based on changes in dielectric property due to changes in frequency or pulse width. To those familiar with the art, it is readily apparent that, with analog or digital control, this circuit can be adapted to scan materials for a characteristic signature based on detected capacitance as a function of pulse width. Such a characteristic signature may be useful, for example, in judging the ripeness or fruit or in identifying a particular material type.
This equation is valid provided that the reverse bias capacitance of both diodes D1 and D2, and any stray capacitance shunting C1 or C2, is much smaller than the magnitude of C1 and C2. This embodiment allows the central plate of a three-plate capacitor to be grounded, while providing an output signal that is linearly related to the displacement of the central plate.

Home > Oil > In the energy debate, is there hope for a "rational middle?"
The Kid's Page in the July 3 Washington Post features a story with an intriguing headline: "Where does electricity come from?Hint: Not from that switch on your wall."
What Kallenberg found was that people really are yearning to have a reasoned, informed discussion on key energy issues and want to find common ground for moving ahead withHe began to call these people "the rational middle."
What, no shouting?No finger pointing?No rhetoric?
"The rational middle wasn't these extreme ends of the argument. They weren't the people behind their barricades heaving Molotov cocktails and insults at each other," Kallenberg says in the first episode in his new series. "This is the group that was willing to sit down, to compromise, to look at the risk and rewards of energy and to start working on a cleaner energy future."
"This has to be told from an independent point of view," Shell CEO Marvin Odum says in the film. "It can't be influenced by a company like Shell, because then it won't have the credibility it really needs."
"But we respect the fact that they're willing to talk to us," Ford said, "and they're willing to work with us to come up with fact-based or data-driven decisions. Those are the ones you want to have a conversation with, because I think we can teach each other."
"I think that there's a lot working against a rational middle type concept having a huge impact," Shell's Odum says in the first of Kallenberg's films. "When I say that, immediately what I'm thinking is…think of the political situation in Washington coming up on this election year — Republicans all the way to this side, Democrats all the way to this side."
"I want people to take away a different way of thinking," Kallenberg says in his film. "I want people to realize we have to work on this together, we have to compromise on what's there, how we use it and what we use in the future"

Do you super these hives or just take honey from the sides?
KTBH looks much more user friendly than the 8 frame way I am going...Can these be purchased or do they have to be custom made...
QuoteLooks really neat, I'm almost curious to try one.Just take honey from the honey frames. The plans I am using are from Mr. Bush's website. There are two sets of top bars, 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch. The 1 1/2 inchers are for the honey frames. The narrower ones are for brood. When you need more room for the hive to expand, you'll take the honey from the honey frames and add the bar back in after robbing. Do a crush & strain to extract.Quote.


👤I am a fan of UGREEN products. They make great products that are durable. Sound transfer from one device to another is lost. I am in the music and sound industry and I need reliable products from UGREEN.
👤I'm very happy with both of them. I think this brand is worth a good price for quality. The product is well made and the sound is good. The distinctive feel of the cable makes it easy to recognize other cables and handles.
👤I don't like to give 1 star but I feel that the safety of this cable is in question. It only deserves one star when you feel like your health could be compromised by a product. I bought this cable for my headphones. The cable was too short. The audio has been fine for a few days, but the rest of the experience was very painful. There is a The ends of the cord can carry an electrical charge. Anything in close proximity will be shocked. Anything that can take an electrical charge is included. If the end was close to my skin, I got a burning shock. This happened to my neck and ear multiple times. The charge felt like it was being pulled out. After several minutes, I realized that the cord was shocking me. I used spare electrical tape to insulate the end, but I'm not taking any chances with this product. I'm buying it when I can get another cord. I got burned when I used the basics for the first time. It's not a good way to start a relationship.
👤AmazonBasics has provided me with a reliable choice for cables, and the reviews for this cable don't really do it justice. The 3.5mm cable you buy is not meant to be used for purposes where audio is going through more than one source. I am running through two audio devices that normally don't cause Audio Feedback "Hum" in my headphones, but with this cable it does. You have to either buy a ground or switch up your audio inputs to fix it. There is a 100% if you need this cable for speakers, car radio, etc. Purchase a more expensive, high quality cable if it's for anything more complicated than that.
Superb Sound Quality is provided by the combination of gold-plated connectors,corrosion-resistant. The UGREEN 3.5mm audio cable has dual 4-pole TRRS jacks, which allow you to use the mic function of headsets or connect a 3.5mm external microphone to a laptop, PC, or phone. The auxiliary cable is ideal for video calls. Hi-fi Stereo Sound & Robust Shielding: Male to male audio cable is well manufactured and delivers outstanding performance. The Headphone Jack to Jack Cable has a silver-plated copper conductor with 3-lay robust shielding. The 24K gold-plated plugs provide faster transmission of the audio signal. The UGREEN stereo aux cord is built to last forever. The 3.5mm auxiliary cable is made of nylon braided jacket with reinforced wire joints. The sound quality is ensured by the optimum sound quality of aluminum alloy shells. Oxygen-free copper is durable. Universal Fit: UGREEN Male to Male 3.5mm Audio Cable stereo jack lead features ultra-Slim aux plugs TV, headphones, speaker, amplifier, soundbox, soundbar, 3.5mm external microphone, laptop, and tablets, compatible PS3 like the phone, walkman, DVD, and mp3/MP4 player. 3.5mm Audio Cable with MIC: UGREEN 4-Pole 3.5mm Audio Cable supports both audio and microphone function. It's a perfect audio cable for headsets. The aux coutput devices to the input devices, without the need for audio conversion.
👤I needed a pigtail for my project. I cut it in half and tore it open to solder something else after I got it. This cable is very well made and gives me more insight than most. The rubber cased cable inside is strong and protects it from being hit. Better cable than I expected.
👤If you want to play "Cure For Me" by Aurora, you'll have to unhook your phone and plug the cord back in. The ride in the car is less safe because of it. I never had a problem with phone mic use.
👤I bought a replacement cable for my headset. It works great, nothing to say other than that! There is clear audio and clear mic input.
👤I use the treadmill when I walk and bought this to connect my iPad to it. It doesn't work. At all. I had to buy another one. I wasted money on it.
👤I haven't used it yet. The cable didn't connect to my phone right away. The audio was poor. I haven't used it since I threw it in my back seat. Have used walmart aux cords.
👤I plugged them in after pulling them out of the box and found a problem. I plugged them into my stereo headset and was expecting a great sound, but instead heard distorted and distant audio. The problem persisted even after trying several different devices and plugs. I am not sure if the cable was damaged or not, but I am very disappointed with UGREEN as a brand.
👤It was bought to replace the Coolermaster's Originial Cord. There is a Make sure you push the cable through until the end, if you don't there's static noise. The cable is thinner than the original.
👤There's nothing to say beyond the headline. The cable and jacks are in perfect working order.
👤I had an issue with the cooler master mh751 headset where the volume was not balanced and I had to fiddle with the volume controls to fix it. After seeing it work for another reviewer, I bought this and it works perfectly, but the problem gets worse over time. There is a I was about to buy a new headset because I was sick of adjusting and trying to fix the volume manually or through my soundcard, I wish I bought this years ago.
👤I have a cooler master cable with inline controls and a cabe without inline controls, and they both improved the bass levels of my headphones. As far as my ears can hear, mids and highs retain their level.
👤I'm afraid the product is not durable, even though it looks excellent and paid a premium price. The cable was delivered on 4 June and has developed a fault at one end or the other. There is a If the cable only moves the smallest of distances, it will be useless.
👤The audio cable I bought was a replacement for an old cable. The build quality looks good, but when I plugged it in, it didn't sound right. I have tried many different devices. Don't waste your money. I bought a cheaper and better quality syncwire cable for them.

Any device with a 3. 5mm aux port is compatible. Such as the Apple iPad, the Apple iPhone, the iPod, the mp3 player, the car stereos, the laptop, and any other audio-playing devices. Life proof cases and otter box cases are incompatible. Unparalleled Sound Quality: The, which will offer clear and stereo sound to your devices. The bend of the audio cables is several times longer than the bend of the Ultra Durable and Tangle-Free ones. You don't have to worry about knots or kinks. Double shieldings, no messy or tangled cable is left.  It still falls out even though you try to keep it in the phone. It was used with my phone and ipod. Terrible purchase. The company harassed me to change my review. I will not be changing this review because I receive an email every week to change it.
👤I like braided cables because they're tough and resistant. The cable is hard to cut and tangle. I have not seen long aluminum aux cable ends, but this one is impressive. The conector can't bend too much and these allow better communication with the device.
👤I received this in a couple of days after ordering it. It worked well for a few months, but then stopped working in March. The problem was where the cord connected to the input was. I tried to keep it braced in a straight position with electrical tape. This doesn't work because the tape won't stick to the cord. I just checked the warranty status but can't find any contact information on the customer service page. The warranty is worthless.
You can use the UGREEN stereo cable to connect your phone, iPod, laptop, or another device with a 3.5mm jack to a guitar,. The shielded 3.5mm to 1/2 cable po and no-loss, noise-free, high-fidelity audio. The pure copper core of this cable gives it maximum conductivity and it can transfer high purity audio signals with minimum loss. Double layer nylon braid guards against harsh installs where the cable is tugged across sharp edges, protecting it from being scratched. The jack plug of this 1/3 to 3.5mm cable is compatible with all devices with a jack sockets.d.
👤I had an issue with this cable and it won't work with an iPad or iPod when connected to a mixing console. An unbalanced cable is needed to get the full signal. The product description should say that this is balanced.
👤The OneOdio headphones I bought were very high quality. The headphones themselves are an excellent value, but the cables included in the set are simply awful. The braided cable is top quality. It is an amazing upgrade. The 3.5mm male -to-male cable was purchased separately. There is a My company makes audio cable at every price range and badge to order. We don't make computer cables. The cable exceeded our expectations.
👤The description of the product does not convey a general reference, as not everyone knows what a TRRS and a TRS are. A TRRS is a 4-pole connection. Products that have built in microphones can use a TRRS connection. A majority of communication devices use this type. The standoff pole and profile size of the head can be used to determine compatibility. The poles need to align with the contacts in the port. This product has a full standoff base that has a standard 3.5mm profile head, and there are slim profile 3.5mm heads for devices that the sockets port occupies a cramp space, with a deeper flush, and not molded on a more even surface. I have provided an example picture of a TRRS 4-pole with a slim profile head in comparison to the UGreen TRS 3-pole 3.5mm that has a standard profile head. It feels good and seems promising. I only gave 3 stars for the product description and information.
👤I mostly listen to music with the speakers on my high end audio system. Sometimes I use my headphones. The problem with my phones is that the cord is small. I've been looking for a cord like this for a long time. 3.5mm plugs on both ends are required. I'm a big fan of the less adapters. The sound quality was used better. There is a The cable is 3.5mm on one end and 1 inch on the other. The sound is good. I went with the 10' length for my needs. I was surprised by the price of this cable because I couldn't justify the cost of pure copper cable for my limited usage. I would recommend it to anyone.
👤I work as an artist. I connect my laptop to my soundboard with a pair of headphones, playing backing tracks through the laptop into the board. I've found that thin cables die quickly. Extras are always with my gear. I replaced it with this one because of the good reviews on Amazon. The difference in audio quality between this and regular cables was immediately noticed by my sound tech. You can tell that this cable is better than others I've used by holding it. I will be purchasing another one that produces better audio.
👤The audio output of the iPad 2 or 3 is not connected completely to the cables. The jack is too short for this device and others. I use these cables for live music. I was disappointed when I arrived at my show to find that the two Ugreen cables I just purchased did not fully connect to my two iPad audio outputs. It worked for iPod touch 2. The Ugreen has a slightly taller bottom ridge than others I had, which makes it hard to connect to iPad audio output. I'm going to see how long the one I could use will last. I will update this review if this one lasts longer.
👤The stereo plug won't make a solid connection if I plug ether cord in to it. It's like the plug is made of small pieces and you have to wiggle it around until you get all the sound. I've used this in a number of things. I wouldn't recommend this product.
👤The cables were bought to power the speaker. I bought them for the gold ones which are supposed to be the best. I get a terrible humming noise when I plug them in. I thought it might have been a bad cable. I was wrong. They both make a loud noise. I don't have a problem with the cheap short Walmart cable and I guess I will have to buy a longer one. I don't like writing bad news reviews because I don't want to hurt anyone. You need to know about it. I hope you replace these with something that won't cause distortion.
👤A cable with a cat chew resistant jacket is nice.
👤It's perfect for my car. Not too long, not to short! I was happy that I got two.
CableCreation is perfect fit for 3ft Male to Male Aux Cable and has a two year warranty. Oldboytech is one of the leaders of audio cable products andease to all over the world.

Let the fun begin. 2-Pack 3.5mm Male to Male aux cord 4ft/1.2M with fast and easy-to-reach Customer Service is what you get. Every product it offers is supported by Oldboytech.
👤There are three types of 3.5mm audio jacks. The cables are called TRS. Stereo audio can be provided but microphone function is not provided by the cables/adapters. If you want to use a headset with mic, you need a TRRS cable. The description doesn't mention the type of adapter, so I'm giving the product 3 stars. The description doesn't mention incompatibility for phone conversations with a headset. The supplier responded to a question about mic function from a user by saying that it was standard 3.5mm male to male audio cable, and that it would work if both of your devices had a 3.5mm connection. I don't mean to be critical of these cables. The photos show a TRRS and not a TRS. I wasted money on something that won't meet my needs. I should have spent more time researching. I write this review so that other users will not make my mistake if they find out it won't work with a headset. My review is the first to point out that these aren't TRRS headset cables.
👤I had a short JBL aux cable for 3 years and this was the only replacement I could find. The difference in sound was quite disturbing. Any audio coming through it will be flattened by the oldboytech cable. If you've never used a quality cable, you wouldn't know the difference. I am a consumer who knows the difference between products he is using. There is a The cables are constructed nicely, but this cable behaves the same as the $1 aux cord I got off of eBay. It doesn't fit into my phone's jack, which causes music and media to pause and skip when it's moved.
 Perfectly compatible with any devices. A 3.5mm aux port. The cable is compatible with phones, car stereos, headphones, tablets, and mp3 players.

Feel free to contact their customer services if you have a problem.
👤There is a noticeable static. Gold does little to cover up low quality material. I tried to use the devices and speakers. The static noise was making the audio difficult to hear. Almost all of the aux-aux cords on Amazon have this problem. There is a The cord I bought at a gas station has a clean sound, strange that Amazon seems to have the same low quality aux-aux cords from so many different sellers, colors, sizes, and prices. Has anyone heard any of them with a clean sound? I bought 25 dollar headphones that include a 6ft aux-aux cord with clean sound, I may just buy those headphones again to use the high quality aux-aux cord for a portable speaker.
👤The cord is stiff. While working with loud equipment, using from ear defenders to Ipods. The thicker cord would work in a car.
👤These are what I was looking for. The sound on my TV is not as good. I will order the 50 ft. ones next. Product arrives on time. Will use this seller again.
👤The jack on my headphones is too loose and I can only hear the left side.
👤The cord is long enough that I had an extra cord that I wrapped up with a twist tie. The audio quality is the most important thing. I've tried about 10 auxiliary cables in the last month, since my car's wireless connection went out. The sound is crystal clear when you turn the volume up too loud, but all of the others had a weird sound. The lyrics, instrumental and base come through perfectly. If you're looking for an auxiliary cable for music, this is the one. It comes with a two pack in case you lose one.

Why does brown sugar taste so good in coffee? While any sweetener is good, brown sugar seems to give coffee a uniquely delicious flavor. Read on to find out.
Brown sugar makes a cup of coffee taste fantastic
What's the deal with brown sugar?
Some people swear it makes a cup of coffee taste fantastic–even better than white sugar!
It doesn't seem like there'd be much difference, does it? They're both sweeteners.
However, brown sugar has a few secrets that can change your whole coffee game.
We'll break down why it tastes so uniquely good.
No matter what kind of sugar you prefer in your sweetened coffee, you should know how to make it taste fantastic every day.
The Final Word on Why Does Brown Sugar Taste So Good?
FAQs on Brown Sugar Coffee
How much sugar should you have in a day?
Sugar is a very refined product. It is produced from both sugar cane or sugar beets, but either way all the vitamins, minerals, and fiber are removed from it during the refining process.
Sugar beets are processed by thinly slicing and leaching out the juice they exude. Impurities are removed from the juice in a centrifuge before it's dried into its final crystalline form.
Sugar cane is made similarly. Both are then bleached and further processed to make the pure white granulated sugar that we're familiar with.
What is left over after this process is molasses: A thick, viscous liquid that contains plenty of vitamins, minerals, and other natural compounds including potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
The mineral and vitamin content in traditional molasses is what has made it a folk medicine for hundreds of years.
Regular white sugar has been completely through sugar processing to the point where it is bright white and has a uniform granular texture. All the molasses has been removed.
On the other hand, what gives brown sugar its rich, complex flavor is the molasses left in the sugar crystals during processing.
Brown sugar is made in two ways:
Natural brown sugar, sometimes called raw sugar, is made by not completely stripping the sugar pulp of its molasses content before drying it into its crystalline form. Turbinado, muscovado, and demerara sugars are all considered raw sugars.
Commercial brown sugar is made by adding a small amount of molasses into fully processed granulated sugar. The amount added will affect the color and taste of the sugar.
Generally, the darker brown sugar is, the more molasses content it contains. Muscovado sugar for example is very dark brown, while commercial light brown sugar has a much lighter hue.
All types of processed sugar are mostly made up of sucrose, with only a small percentage of molasses: Muscovado contains around 10 percent molasses, while commercial brown sugar contains between 3 and 6 percent molasses.
Adding any kind of sugar that has molasses content to your morning cup of java will give it a richer color and a slightly heavier, earthier taste. Try using muscovado or demerara sugars for the best coffee flavor.
This goes for espresso as well–adding brown sugar to espresso drinks can really add to the complexity of the flavors. Brown sugar lattes are a common request to baristas.
What about other types of sweeteners that aren't made from sugar cane or beets?
Maple Syrup is boiled down from the sap of maple trees. It does have a bit of mineral content, including manganese, iron, and zinc, but it's still high in calories with very little fiber. While it can definitely be used in coffee, it doesn't give it that rich taste that brown sugar does.
Honey, especially when consumed raw, contains a bit more mineral content than either brown sugar or maple syrup. It contains trace amounts of vitamin B6, selenium, iron, and potassium, as well as various compounds that seem to have anti-allergy and antibacterial properties.
Honey gives coffee a brighter, sweeter taste than brown sugar does, without the rich, earthy notes.
Stevia is a natural sugar substitute made from the leaves of a South American plant related to Chrysanthemum. It contains no calories or carbohydrates so it's popular among diabetics and dieters.
It's is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so a tiny amount of it will suffice. Some people find it has a bitter aftertaste.
Refined sugars made from both sugar cane and sugar beets look the same and pretty much contain the same nutritional composition, which, unfortunately, isn't much. There just aren't any health benefits to using brown sugar over white sugar.
That doesn't mean you can't add them to your coffee, just be judicial about it and focus on flavor.
Brown sugar contains slightly more minerals due to the small amount of molasses added, but the effect is pretty negligible. Health-conscious coffee drinkers are advised to watch their consumption of all added sugars, but occasionally adding natural sweeteners to your morning cup of coffee is a nice treat that won't destroy your health.
Sometimes, black coffee just doesn't do the trick, and your local coffee shop can help you make a sweet brown sugar drink that's exactly what you needed.
If you're wondering what kind of sweetener you should add to your coffee for the best flavor, brown sugar is a strong contender. Many people find its rich flavor and luscious texture a perfect complement to fresh, hot coffee.
No matter what kind of sweetener you choose, your coffee should be part of a perfect morning for you!
The nutritional difference between white sugars and brown sugars is almost nil. Brown sugars and raw sugars contain a trace amount of minerals because of their low molasses content, but the difference is negligible.
Research has shown that they have the same effect on the human body. You're better off choosing a sugar preference based on taste, and simply limiting the amount you consume to protect your health.
The American Heart Association recommends a limit of about 6 teaspoons (24 grams) for women and 9 teaspoons (36 grams) for men of added sugar per day. If you normally avoid eating a lot of processed food, adding a small amount of sugar to your coffee in the morning should keep you under this limit.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols’ echoorisd Amoris? I do not think that […]
From what I have read elsewhere he touched upon Maradiaga of the Alazraki interview, again doing no credit to his powers of discernment. This is a train wreck. It is not getting better. The bottom of the cliff appears nowhere yet in sight. Will no man occupying the episcopate rescue this man from himself — let alone those of us who inhabit the collateral damage?
Under no circumstance should he resign. The Petrine Office is not a position—like a prime minister—in which the office holder should resign when his governance proves unpopular. The Church is not a democracy.
It is always wrong to force a Pope to resign. That is the worst of precedent.


An error on Arabic-language ballots, a new proposal for voters in a Michigan city with a large Arab American population, highlights the need for expanded voting access for Americans with limited English proficiency — and the challenges it brings.
Arabic-language ballots in Dearborn, Mich., had an error in the instructions for one section, the city clerk announced on Nov. 4, leading officials to attach a written statement explaining the error on Arabic ballots used in the week leading up to to the Election Day.
Although the typo affected only 34 Dearborn voters who had requested Arabic absentee ballots before he was caught, the incident underscores the struggles in jurisdictions with large groups ofin amid an ongoing national campaign for greater access to the language on ballots and in other election materials. Legal experts say election administrators should address the need for non-English voting materials, a nonpartisan issue aimed at increasing voter turnout in the United States.
This year, Michigan had two open Supreme Court seats and five candidates on the ballot, meaning that people who did not change their submitted Arabic-language ballot may not have cast their ballot for multiple candidates when they could have voted .
The use of Arabic ballots for the first time in Dearborn stemmed from a resolution introduced by city councilor Mustapha Hammoud that required access to election materials in any language spoken at home by a minimum of 10,000 residents or 5 percent of the population, based on census data, whichever threshold is reached first.
This often puts pressure on state and local leaders to expand election materials for their constituents who speak languages outside of federal law,  the Fair Elections Center. a non-partisan voting rights organization.
“There is nothing preventing election officials, as a matter of policy, from offering materials and information in additional languages,” Kanter Cohen said.
In September, Rep. Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) introduced a bill that would allow election materials to be published in those additional languages and fund state and local officials in the effort.
The Dearborn City Council approved the voting rights resolution in March, the same month it was introduced, meaning Arabic ballots would be used during primaries in August and midterms in November. The decision was approved after “intense debate” about the costs and lack of time to implement it, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Like Dearborn, other communities across the country have worked for years to introduce new language ballots despite the obstacles.
This year, for the first time, San Diego County voters had access to Persian and Somali facsimile ballots, translated sample ballots to use as a reference when filling out English ballots. The move came reinstated minority language resolutions that had expired in 2021.
Jeanine Erikat, policy leaded her fears are particularly focused on various border counties such as San Diego County.
Erikat said she also hopes to see official ballots, not just facsimiles, in more languages in future elections.
In 2018, nonpartisan civic groups in Florida filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to order state and local officials to provide Spanish-language ballots. The suit alleged that Florida’s secretary of state and other officials were violating the voting rights of thousands of Puerto Ricans who had moved there after Hurricane Maria.
In September 2018, the judge ruled in favor of the groups, ordering, but stopped short of requesting official ballots due to the lack of time before the midterm elections.
“We really need constant advocacy and vigilance and community engagement, even when we’re making gains,” said Miranda Galindo, senior counsel for PRLDEF’st.
For decades, Osama Siblani, who lives near Dearborn and is the publisher of the Arab American News, has published election information in Arabic. He was one of three volunteers commissioned to help with the city’s Arabic language votes.
Despite this year’s disaster, Siblani said he is waiting to see if the translated ballots and eleommunity’s turnout.
“I have been publishing the Arab American News for 38 years and I know that my community was not participating [in elections] because of the lack of sufficient knowledge of English to make an important choice,” he said.


Working through moved text doesn’t have the fun to it of letting me be able to show my work.
These sorts of days never feel quite as fun or fulfilling, since the Muse is less in the driver’s seat, and you’re spending time evaluating rather than coming up with a lot of new things.
Sometimes what can make me feel better is to go for a nice walk where I think about the story, and maybe come up with an idea or two that I can note down. That’s always a nice feeling. Or, if no new ideas are flowing, putting the story into your mind in a relaxed way and enjoying your perspective on it, can also be satisfying.
No joke. I was glad to get past that part, to figure out what stayed and what went. Today was more of that, but after yesterday’s evaluation of what the scene had to offer, it went much better.

e)Single entity may act as initiator of the investment project and the ultimate borrower. </s> Learning professionals are reaching out beyond their traditional data sources and methodologies to embrace a new world of learning analytics. However, innovation is sporadic and held back in many organisations by a historical culture of not evaluating effectively (if at all).
Opinion is divided about the value of learning analytics provided by ‘traditional’ LMS reporting.
Some think the information that comes out of learning management systems is ‘a waste of time’. Others say that you turn your back on it at your peril, or that in combination with other data sources, it can provide rich insights. ‘You’ve got this broad, shallow LMS data that can nudge us in the right direction, but it is that deep dive into a small audience [through focus groups] that really gives us the rich stuff when we are thinking about [learning] design’.
Learning departments don’t necessarily have access to data analysts to interpret data for them. Neither do they necessarily have data analysis skillsets in their teams. So these kind of presentational tools, which contain a certain amount of baked in analysis, are especially useful.
Organisations with large and highly structured data sets are currently best placed to take advantage of sophisticated new tools available for data analysis and presentation. – e.g. professional associations that administer exams-based qualifications – and it is here, where exams play a central part, that organisations are perhaps best placed to capitalize on advances in learning analytics technology.
Return on Investment (ROI) is starting to be seen as a less important measure than return on engagement (ROE).
ROI is too often associated with cost cutting and is difficult to pick apart from other inputs. Of more interest now is ROE — how engaged people are with the learning and what effect it is having on their behaviours. The new analytics is providing measures (like sentiment analysis) that make this easier to assess.
It is questionable whether learning departments are active enough in reaching out for commercial data from the business.
In measuring the effect of training on behaviours and performance it can often be essential to get data from the business. One of our delegates felt that his peers did not do enough of this reaching out: ‘L&D needs to get out of its fluffy HR world and smell the coffee’.
The perception within L&D tends to be that HR teams have a more analytics-driven culture.
Certainly, many HR solutions (including talent software) provide impressive and good-looking reports. However, whether HR are actually where they want to be with analytics is another question, one of our delegates hinted.
More generally, although organisations are seen to be ‘desperate to invest’ in data analytics, actually it is hard for many of them to make the strides they would like to make.
It is possible (though hard to prove) that the recent move to shorter, more ‘chunked’ digital learning has been at least partly driven by greater access to data and analytics within learning departments.
In one interesting example, related by one of our delegates, insights from data about the consumption habits of staff led to a change of content strategy. While elearning programmes were an hour plus in length, 79% of this organisation’s learners spent less than 30 minutes doing it, and 56% less than 15 mins. Based on this type of information, the learning department changed the approach; ‘chunking down’ learning programmes to bite-

Main Application Essay: A very important part of the application, but also the part of the application that you will find fun to work on. The idea here is that if you have organized and linked your Tangible Activities with your Branded elements, then you can see what areas you might be able to add to your Main Essay. The key is not to be obvious about it. You want to ‘[show’, not ‘tell’, in your essay. My advice on the main essay is to find a story that you want to tell, a story that has YOU at the center of it as the protaganist. But don’t worry too much about whether you are ‘selling’ yourself in this essay, you have that opportunity through the other parts of the application.  Take the opportunity to show them your descriptive writing, your humor or empathy. And most importantly, have fun with it.
Additional Comments: Here, we can elaborate on any areas that you feel you did not do justice to in the other areas of the application. You can actually add those other activities that you wrote about here – anything that needed more description than you had in the activity list.


What the 2008 financial crisis made clear is that when natural market forces work to purge the oversupply of poor-quality debt from the system. The bad mortgages (think subprime), the bad sovereign debts (think Greece), and the loan portfolios of over-extended financial institutions (think Citibank) represented ‘poor quality debt.’ When the market (finally) figured out that those debts would never be repaid at face value, or perhaps at all, turmoil erupted.


And
Seeking Opportunities from Climate Change
Inflection Point in Development
by Wouter Klijn | November 15, 2017 ESG
“The challenges for us as investors who invest for the long term is to recognise some of these climate change challenges, but not to see them just as a source of risk and worry, but actually as an exciting source of potential growth,” Parry says at the Investment Innovation Institute’s .
“The way I see the world is one of great opportunities.”
A good guide for tracking these opportunities is says.
“But the reality is that they represent a huge growth opportunity because these effectively are the unmet needs of societies around the world.”
“For me, these targets represent very important impact themes that I can then relate back to investable themes in public equities and which are emerging, secular and probably unrelated to what [US Federal Reserve System Chair] Janet Yellen or [European Central Bank President] Mario Draghi do in terms of macroeconomic policies.”
“Because by meeting unmet needs in society or finding solutions to those challenges, you are bringing new, incremental demand into the equation. The companies that find the solutions to that future growth are the new growth stories over the next 20 years.”
“In 2016, on a global basis, for every dollar invested in fossil fuels, there were two invested in alternative energy. Europe, as a whole, already produces 20 per cent of its daily energy from wind,” he notes.
“But it is actually China who leads the world; China is the most rapid adopter of alternative energy. Why? Well it is resource scarce and anybody who has been to Beijing will know that China has a pollution problem.”
In December 1952, the smog became so oppressive that it resulted in the immediate death of 4000 people, while another 8000 died in the following months.
A cleaner environment is not only good socially, but also good for the economy because it will boost productivity.
It is not unlikely China is on a similar path and Parry believes this will ultimately result in higher economic growth.
“,” he says.
Yet, to capitalise on the move towards a more sustainable future, you still need to ensure you look at these opportunities from an investor’s viewpoint, he points out.
“First and foremost you still have to be a good investor and to be a good investor you have to understand the long-term growth opportunity and the position of that particular company within its industry,” he says.
“Is it going to be a winner or a marginal player? And is it the right time and the right price?
To be a good investor you have to find that inflection point in the development curve. When too many people are chasing too few orders in the short term, that is the time to invest.
He points to the rapid development of wind energy over the past decade.
“In 2007, you could have made the prediction that wind as a source of alternative energy would grow substantially quicker than the consensus expectation. The IEA (International Energy Agency) has had to continually revise up their projections of wind [energy] and the number of installed wind turbines has increased exponentially,” he says.
“Unfortunately, Vestas had exceedingly poor accounting standards, it was not converting its orders into cash and they were highly reliant on subsidies, which is unsustainable in the long term.
“Along comes 2008, the financial crisis, and all of these things become horribly apparent: subsidies were scaled back or withdrawn, the accounting issues come to the fore and the shares collapse 95 per cent.”
In 2007, Vestas would have been a poor investment, despite the growth of the wind energy market, but only a few years later the situation changed, he notes.
“Wind turbines continued to be installed and the industry continued to grow quicker,” he says.
“If you had bought it then, you would have made more than 10 times your money.”
“,” Parry says.

He didn’t look like a serial killer so Meri took a chance. "Are you looking to hire someone?"
He glanced down at her and she felt a jolt when those cool blue eyes fixed on her face. "Actually, I am. I’m looking for a housekeeper."
"Well, there’s a coincidence. I was just getting ready to put my number up on the board. I’m very good at housekeeping."
"It’s really more of a cleaning job," he said.
She thought of the ten dollars that was all she had left in the world. "I can do that. I don’t mind hard work and I’m very efficient."
Lily tugged on the hem of her T-shirt. "Mama, I’m hungry."
"In a minute, sweetheart." She turned back to the man, desperation mixed with hope. "I’d do a good job for you. I’m a very hard worker."
"I was really looking for someone older," he said.
"I’m twenty eight. That’s old enough to clean a house."
His mouth edged up. He had a very sexy mouth. Funny...she had never thought of a man’s lips that way.
"I see you have a daughter," he said. "What would you do with her while you’re working?"
Her stomach knotted. She really needed this job. "She’d stay out of the way, I promise. She’s very well behaved--aren’t you sweetheart?"
Lily started jumping up and down. "I’m hungry. I’m hungry!"
Meri lifted her up and propped her on a hip. "If you’ll be good, I’ll get you one of those orange-vanilla ice creams you like. But you have to be quiet until Mama finishes talking to this nice man."
Lily started nodding, visions of ice cream dancing in her four-year-old head. "Okay."
Meri set her back on her feet. When she looked at the man, she could read the amusement on his beyond attractive face. "As I said, she’s usually well behaved," she said. "You wouldn’t even know she was there."
His amusement slowly faded. "I’ll be honest, Ms...?"
"Jones. Meriwether Jones. People just call me Meri. This is my daughter, Lily."
"I’ll be honest, Meri. The house is a real mess. It’s going to need hours of hard work to get it in shape. I think you’d be better off--"
She caught his arm, stopping him mid-sentence. "I really need this job. I promise, if you hire me, you won’t be disappointed."
His gaze traveled from the reddish-brown hair she had braided into two long plaits, paused at the pink T-shirt that read I AM WOMAN, moved down over her jeans to her pink canvas sneakers. He looked at Lily, who stood quietly now, big blue eyes a little lighter than his staring back into his face.
"All right, fine. You’re hired. But my father lives in there and he isn’t going to like having a kid in the house. You have to keep your daughter away from him."
Her heart was thumping. This could be the answer to her prayers. Or a least to her immediate prayer that she could earn enough to get to a city where she could find a real job. "That won’t be a problem. He won’t even know she’s there."
"I guess we’ll see."
"How far away is the house?" Meri thought of the Chevy and wondered if she needed to use some of her remaining ten dollars to put a gallon of gas in the tank.
"Not far. Just up the road. How soon can you start?"
"If you have something there to make sandwiches, I can start today. In fact, I can start as soon as I get there."
The man pulled out his wallet and handed her two, twenty-dollar-bills. "Get some bread and meat and whatever else you need. You don’t happen to cook, do you?"

Identity fraud can cost a company thousands of dollars. Unauthorized use of customer accounts and personal information not only affects your customers, it hurts your business, brand and finances. Banks, health insurance companies, cable providers and many other businesses routinely become pawns in the schemes of criminals to unlawfully gain access to information, benefits, and money.can be in the form of unauthorized access to an existing account or creating a new, fraudulent account in the victim’s name. Not only is identity theft costly in terms of time and money for the victim, security breaches cause serious damage toItactively prevent identity fraud from hurting their clients and brand.
Authenticating customer numbers through caller-ID services has done little in preventing criminals from successfully conning companies out of information and money. Spoof calls, a tactic that manipulates the caller-ID display to conceal the call’s origin, can be used by criminals to con call centers into believing the call is from a legitimate client. Additionally, criminals can extract personal information from clients to be able to correctly respond to verification questions. The time and funds spent on the authentication process can drain a customer service department or call center and it may not even prevent identity fraud. Asking for a customer’s personal information in order to verify his or her identity–a process known as identity interrogation–not only feels intrusive, but it also frustrating and takes valuable time away from both the customer and the employee. In today’s fast-paced world, customers expect to access their accounts as quickly as possible, but are hindered by the drawn out process of answering questions to validate their identities. Despite the inefficiencies and inconvenience of loss of time and money, many companies continue to use identity interrogation as the primary way to guard against identity theft.
Large or small,block fraudulent activities from hurting their customers and business. Caller-ID services and software have continually adapted to the growing demand of companies that need to protect their operations. need for more time-efficient authentication processes. Companies such as TRUSTID have developed caller-ID services and firewall software that eliminate the need to ask customers to give personal information or static data to verify their identity. The TRUSTID software allows businesses to analyze and verify the identity of the caller before they are even transferred to a customer service agent. While eliminating the need to interrogate customers may seem like a small change, TRUSTID says their software and caller-ID system lowers costs for customer service departments and call centers by up to 20 percent.
Traditional authentication programs still require customer service individuals to spend time talking to customers to draw out pieces of persWhile many businesses view this outdated practice as a necessary expense of time and money, companies like TRUSTID are using technology in new ways to simplify and make the authentication process hassle-free. Identity verification processes can include obtapersonal facts like the street you grew up on or mother’s maiden name, or validating the client’s phone number. Unlawful tactics like spoof calls make protecting clients increasingly difficult. That is why TRUSTID has developed a system that can verify the identity of a caller without needing personal information and can even alert customer service agents if the the call is suspicious or potentially spoofed. In order to successfully commit identity fraud, criminals just need to obtain personal information about the client or use a caller-ID spoof technique. But with TRUSTID’s system, a criminal would have to gain access to the client’s land line or cell phone to commit the crime. This process makes the crime harder to commit because personal information is less secure than personal possessions.
These new solutions allow businesses to cut costs of customer service activities and allow their customers to access their accounts without being prompted to answer intrusive questions. Overall, companies like TRUSTID are eliminating the unnecessary and outdated customer interrogation process to verify identities and providing a more efficient alternatives.

Weapons charges are serious in Colorado. It can be an incident that escalates to the point where someone brandishes or fires a gun and causes injury or death to another person or it can occur as part of a robbery. In some cases, the person who is accused is relatively prominent and can have his or her entire life upended by criminal charges and a conviction. To address these allegations, it is wise to prepare a strong criminal defense.
According to law enforcement, Mr. Latimer had an argument with another person at the apartment who was accused of sexually abusing his young son. The resident of the apartment had asked everyone to leave. Mr. Latimer came back a half-hour later with the weapon and brandished it. He is said to have made threats to kill the people in the apartment and fired two shots. He was arrested and charged with gun charges, assault and more. The investigation is ongoing.
Weapons charges and other criminal allegations are serious for anyone and can impact their future in myriad ways. For someone whose career has a relatively short window like a professional athlete, jail time and public disfavor that accompanies charges this serious can hinder their life for many years. Jail time, fines and other consequences are possible if there is a conviction. Addressing these charges requires a deft legal touch and pointing out potential mitigating circumstances such as Mr. Latimer’s belief that a man at the party abused his son.

"Semantic dispositionalism" is the theory that a speaker's meaning something by a given linguistic symbol is determined by her dispositions to use the symbol in a certain way. According to an objection by Kripke, further elaborated in Kusch :156–163, 2005), semantic dispositionalism involves ceteris paribus-clauses and idealisations, such as unbounded memory, that deviate from standard scientific methodology. I argue that Kusch misrepresents both ceteris paribus-laws and idealisation, neither of which factually "approximate" the behaviour of agents or the course of events, (...

October 1992, paperback in October 1993."
"That was the month she died." He was silent, then smiled at her. "You said he lived at Gaunton, didn't you?"
"A house on the cliff, yes."
"My sister Margaret went to stay at Gaunton in the summer with her daughter and her husband. At the Dunes Hotel. Is that anywhere near?"
"Next door," she said. "A hundred yards away."
"It was July. They might have seen each other and not have known."
"Or have known," said Sarah. "You wouldn't know exactly when, would you?"
"I know they left the hotel on July the sixth, because they all came to see me here before going home."
He had had a shock. She remembered the look on his face, the dazed look. The sleepwalking look. Before he went across to the hotel with those Romneys, he had been his normal self, and when he came back, the shock was there. A sight had stunned him. He had seen his sister and recognized her after forty-six years. She hadn't known him, though. She would have come back with him if she had. The shock had gone to his heart. Had broken his heart?
"Tell me about your brother Desmond," she said.
"All right. Would you like a cup of tea?"
"I don't want anything," she said.
Her father looked at her out of Stefan's eyes. Their voices, that at first she had thought alike, really weren't at all similar. Her father's had been very deep, rich, with that underlying faint burr. Stefan, of course, had left Suffolk when he was only a little over two, when he must barely have been able to speak, and his voice was educated London. He watched her, looked away, then turned to her again as if making calculations.
"Desmond," she said gently.
"Well, Desmond," he said, "I think you know he was murdered."
"When John disappeared," Stefan went on, "Desmond was twenty and living at home, as all the rest of us were. That is, James and his wife and baby, Margaret and Mary and I, and, of course, Mother and Joseph. Desmond and I shared a room. We Ryans were a very good-looking lot, tall, dark, regular features—not me, I was the ugly one—but Desmond was the best of us. People used to say all the girls would be after him, and maybe they were, but it wouldn't have been of much interest to him."
"Yes." Stefan looked at her inquiringly. "You've been reading about the trial?"
"I didn't know, of course. Not then. None of us did. It's impossible to imagine what Joseph's reaction to such a thing would have been. You, at your age, probably don't realize how the general public felt about homosexuals in the fifties. And I, at mine, just have a sort of muddled recollection of horror at the very idea. This was many years ago, before the act that made homosexual relations between consenting adults over twenty-one legal, and feelings were as strong as they had been at the time of the Oscar Wilde case."
"I didn't know. But I've read some newspaper accounts since then."
"Then you'll know judges and magistrates were describing homosexuality as the worst evil known to man, as a hideous crime, and, above all, as a deliberate, calculated viciousness. The most liberal, the really enlightened, took the view that it could be cured, that it was a kind of madness or sickness. Right on during the sixties, men were being put into mental hospitals and given aversion therapy to 'cure' their disease."
"There's a lot about that in _A White Webfoot._ "
"Is there now? I knew nothing about homosexuality until my brother Desmond came up in court in 1955. He was found guilty of an act of gross indecency in a public lavatory and sent to prison for six months."
Sarah wanted to ask what gross indecency was but as quickly decided not to. Instead, she said very tentatively, for she was bewildered, "You don't mean with a child, with a minor?"
"He was twenty-four and the other man, so far as I remember, was over thirty. It was a crime in those days, Sarah, with anyone of any age. Fortunately—I think I can fairly say fortunately for him—Joseph was dead before it happened. He had died the previous year. National newspapers were quite reticent about cases of this sort, but local papers weren't, and it was all in the _Walthamstow Independent_ , which my brother John had worked for. All there for my mother to read."
"What did he do for a living? Desmond, I mean."
"He had had various jobs. He'd been a messenger and worked in a shop behind the counter. A gentlemen's outfitters. He'd been a barman receptionist in rather a dubious sort of hotel in Paddington. But he always had money, far more money than he could have earned by the sort of work he did. We never noticed or we never made the connection. We were innocent.
"After he came out of prison, he didn't come back to live with us. He got a flat of his own. It was in Highbury and he was set up in it by the man who killed him. There was no question of my mother not wanting to see Desmond; she wasn't like that. None of us would have rejected him, but he just didn't come back. And I don't think he ever again had a regular job. He'd call in sometimes to see her and he'd bring her presents. He was always well dressed. And he was always happy."
"You might think there wasn't much for a homosexual man to be happy about in the fifties, but he was. _Gay_ wasn't in any way a misnomer for him. In fact, _gay_ in its older sense really described him; _gaiety_ expressed him. He was nice and sweet and lovable. I don't think he was in the least bit ashamed of the kind of life he led. You might say, why should he have been? The answer to that is that everyone was always telling gay men they should be ashamed, that they were sick, that they were vicious, that they'd either chosen their way of life or else they were mentally disturbed."
Sarah considered. "Did he talk to you about it?"
"You have to understand that we didn't meet much. I went away to university in 'fifty-five, the year he went to prison, and I wasn't home much after that, except for the holidays. But he did talk to me on a couple of occasions. That's how I know he wasn't ashamed. I'm sure people would have said then that in telling me these things he was trying to corrupt me—the powers that be were very big on corruption in those days—but of course he wasn't. He wouldn't have wanted me to follow his way of life—why should he? He was he and I was I and we were different. I think he recognized, even then, that some are born gay and some straight, just as some have blue eyes and some brown. He never went into physical detail, anyway, only told me about love affairs he'd had. And he talked about clubs he went to and baths."
"You mean steam baths, Turkish baths?"
"He was very big on that. I think he enjoyed showing off his body. He liked the old men who went there looking at him. He never mentioned Givner to me—not by name, that is. It was quite simple and straightforward, you know. Givner loved him, provided him with that flat, spent money on him, and he was unfaithful to Givner. What else did the man expect? He must have been living in a dream world. You've read about the trial, you said?"
Sarah nodded. "Givner hanged himself in his cell while on remand."
"Yes. It was a terrible thing for my mother. The loss of Desmond, the trial. Everyone knew, of course. The neighbors knew."
"If Desmond had been a respectable heterosexual with a wife and children, she'd have gotten sympathy, but because he was gay and things had come out about his way of life, it was quite different?"
"That's right. By that time, James and Jackie had two children and

July 23, 2017 2:15pm PT by Scott Feinberg
THR's awards columnist weighs in on the awards prospects of the first film distributed by Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures, which hits theaters Aug. 4.
Though it’s not yet even August, awards pundits may have just seen their second film in a week that eventually will be a best picture Oscar nominee. Hot on the heels of Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk — which opened Friday, and for which there was an overflow and very appreciative crowd at the Academy on Saturday night — comes another intense, albeit very different, historical drama, Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit, the story of a largely forgotten act of police brutality against a group of young black men, and two young white women, in Michigan’s biggest city during the infamous riot of 1967.
Detroit showcases first-rate filmmaking, particularly the sizable portion of it that's set in the Algiers Motel, into which a lot of people and action are packed without ever becoming disorienting. Credit for this certainly goes to Bigelow, as well as her large ensemble of young actors — the standouts are John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), as the embodiment of good, and Will Poulter (The Revenant), as the embodiment of evil — and her collaborators, in particular, production designer Jeremy Hindle, cinematographer Barry Ackroyd, film editor William Goldenberg and composer James Newton Howard.
But most with whom I’ve spoken about Detroit agree that it's not quite as polished as Bigelow’s last two films, which, like this one, were written and co-produced by Mark Boal: The Hurt Locker (2009), which won best picture and for which Bigelow became the first woman ever to win best director; and Zero Dark Thirty (2012), which was nominated for best picture, but for which she controversially was denied a best director nom. The prevailing sentiment seems to be that her new film starts off awkwardly (with an animated sequence), goes on too long (143 minutes) and lets the steam out of its pressure cooker in a predictable and unnecessary third act.
Ultimately, though, Detroit’s Oscar prospects may have as much to do with the Academy's interest, or lack thereof, in using its spotlight as it has to do with the attributes of the film itself. (Crash, the surprise best picture winner in 2006, dealt with similar subject matter, though it was set in Los Angeles and centered on fictional events.) With a membership of unprecedented diversity at a time when racial tensions are running high and incidents of police brutality are reported regularly, there may be an added appeal in honoring Detroit.
Alternatively, voters looking to highlight today's racial tensions could line up behind another massively acclaimed early release, Jordan Peele’s Get Out, which employs a different, perhaps more widely palatable approach — satire — and, unlike Detroit, was made by a filmmaker of color. Rightly or wrongly, it must be noted that there has been some backlash in the past when white filmmakers have made films about pivotal moments in black history, most famously Rob Reiner’s Ghosts of Mississippi (1996) and Steven Spielberg's Amistad (1997).g-standing genre-biases have changed as well — and, in terms of genre, Detroit shares much more in common with Straw Dogs than, say, Moonlight.


Time and Money waster # 1: Constant Interruptions. Research shows that for knowledge workers such as IT professionals, at least a fourth of their day is wasted handling interruptions. Also costly is the recovery time to return to the level of focus and attention that existed before the interruption.
Many IT professionals work inside noisy work areas, answer their desk phone and mobile phone, and are getting messages and notifications on their computer throughout the day. In most cases, companies waste at least a third of the money paid for their IT professionals due to interruptions. The financial cost of interruptions is staggering. It works so much better to control the majority of the interruptions and gain two or three hours back each day as productive time invested.
I recently watched a poor help desk professional take out his frustrations on a package delivery person making a delivery to the IT department. The help desk professional feels frustrated by users all day, and then he vents his frustrations on delivery people. Since the help desk professional’s cubical is near the other IT professionals, he effectively wastes four people’s time for more than five minutes each time.
Time and Money waster #2: Multitasking. Humans attempting to focus on two or more tasks at the same time wastes time. Just ask the families of the people killed in the train wreck earlier this year on southern California possible caused by the engineer text messaging instead of watching for “stop” signals. If your IT professional reverts to multitasking, they aay even be asking you for more help in the form of another IT professional to help them.
Time and Money waster #3: Killing alligators. Many IT professionals invest a lot of time every day responding to calls for help and putting out fires. IT professionals’ schedules are often driven by the urgent.
Solution #1: Drain the swamp. If IT professionals invest some time every day into draining the swamp, the alligators will leave. The IT professional can start doing the job they always imagined – looking towards the future and To most IT professionals, this focus on preventative maintenance sounds impossible due to the overwhelming number of alligators. The other solutions will free up the necessary time to solve this.
Solution #2: 45 minutes uninterrupted time per day. For just 3 weeks as a trial, have your IT professionals set aside at least one 45 minute period each day during which there are no interruptions. Turn off e-mail notifications. Turn off all phones and pagers. Close the door to their office. Short of the building being on fire or a primary server crashing, that IT professional is in do-not-disturb mode. IT professionals devote this time to draining the swamp. Examples include finally configuring the centralized patch management tool, configuring group policy objects, or testing the disaster recovery plan. Executives have to support this otherwise the IT professional will “give in because so-and-so’s problem was important to get to right away.” Face it; so-and-so can wait the remaining 37 minutes. This is where boundaries come in.
Solution #3: Have strong boundaries. IT professionals need to use good relationship skills with users and being friendly and available is included. The being available for friendly banter must be limited though. If the CEO does not have time to visit with an employee – most people understand since the CEO is taking care of tasks that are imperative to the success of the business. IT professionals also takeAs long as the IT department is being productive, it is ok for them to close their office door. They have to be strong enough to be able to say, “I would love to come fix your ink jet printer at your desk, and will do so tomorrow, but for today please use the network printer down the hall.” The IT professional should not even need to add, “So I can prevent the RAID array in the server from crashing and necessitating a full restore from last night’s backup.” Just the fact that the IT professional is busy should be enough. In order to enjoy this freedom, the IT professional also must earn the trust of the executives and the users. Increase this trust through IT evaluations and third party reviews of the IT department.
Solution #4: Separate office or place to go hide. Provide a “safe zone” for the IT professionals, even if that is an unused conference room for the 45-minute part of the day. Some users are so tenacious that they will “track IT down” and IT professionals need a place to focus each day.
Solution #5: Come in early and go home early. Many IT professionals are happy to start their day one or two hours early in return for being able to go home earlier. If your organization has multiple IT professionals, they can stagger their schedules. The 6am to 8am period often proves to be the most productive time of the day for an IT professional who comes in early.
You’re a great fit!
