The recent and tragic stabbing death of Cash App creator, husband, and father of two, Bob Lee, near San Francisco’s financial district is yet another stark and unfortunate reminder of the rise in crime rates many US cities have been experiencing since the start of the pandemic.
Chicago, which holds the dubious distinction of leading our nation in homicides for 11 years running, had nearly 700 homicides last year… higher than Philadelphia (516), New York City (438), Houston (435), and Los Angeles (382).
Cities are increasingly on edge... and American citizens are literally begging for change while making their voices heard loud and clear at the ballot box.

People just want to be able to go outside and enjoy clean, safe streets. But something is truly amiss.
Murder saw one of its biggest year-over-year increases on record during the pandemic, and violent crime has been holding at higher levels than where they were pre-pandemic.
The bottom line is that citizens no longer feel safe. They’re afraid for their own safety and they’re afraid for the safety of their children.
And crime is not just a concern in urban areas. It has made its way into the suburbs as well.
Police can only do so much. Oftentimes, they’re responding to crimes well after the act has been perpetrated and well after the perpetrators have fled the scene.
And that’s true even when crimes are caught on camera due to the slow human component of monitoring and reporting to authorities.
A change is sorely needed... and Predictive AI is set to play a critical role.
Already, the United States is one of the most surveilled countries in the world with CCTV cameras installed in most public and private places.
Millions more cameras are being added yearly by citizens trying to protect their homes and business owners attempting to protect their businesses.
Yet, crime is still rampant in the US… and the same thing is happening globally.
The global surveillance camera market in 2021 was valued at US$28 billion. The market is expected to reach US$45 billion by 2027.
Furthermore, the global surveillance camera market volume is expected to reach 524 million units in 2027, increasing from 214 million units in 2021.
Surveillance cameras can deter crime by increasing the probability of arrest and incarceration. But they do little to prevent crimes BEFORE they happen.
That’s where Predictive AI comes in.
Predictive AI, also known as predictive analytics, refers to the use of machine learning algorithms and statistical models to analyze data and make predictions about future events or behaviors — including criminal behavior.
New innovations in Predictive AI are creating advances in facial, behavioral, and pattern recognition that can be deployed virtually anywhere… from street corners and storefronts to amusement parks and sports stadiums.
One AI company that recently came onto our radar is launching an advanced Predictive AI surveillance technology designed to stop crime before it happens.
It accomplishes this by seamlessly picking out faces, weapons, vehicles, and more and then alerting authorities, and keeping them alerted, throughout the chain of events.
The AI-powered software integrates with existing camera networks to monitor more cameras at one time than any one person or team of people ever could.
And unlike human beings… it can perform a complex set of data analysis in mere microseconds.
This fast-emerging AI company conducted a real-life test of its Predictive AI-Powered Security Platform in a crime-ridden borough of Mexico City.
In less than one year, the system produced a 45% decrease in crime throughout the area of nearly half a million residents. With the crime deterrence system in place, citizens reported being able to venture outdoors without the fear of being robbed or gunned down.
What’s more, the company’s CEO is a United States Veteran with both FBI and SWAT experience… so he understands the intricacies of crime and crime prevention here in the homeland.
And, in addition to protecting citizens, the system can be deployed to safeguard power plants (including nuclear), airports, railways, and other critical infrastructure.
We all remember last December’s attack on two North Carolina substations that left 45,000 utility customers without power.

But did you know that there have been no less than eight US power station attacks since mid-November of last year?
It’s a growing national security concern, and, fortunately, this company’s Predictive AI-Powered Security Platform is being rolled out in America next.
For US citizens, it means safer neighborhoods, safer public spaces, and a safeguarding of critical infrastructure.
For investors, it’s an early-stage opportunity that’s both timely and potentially very lucrative.
We have all the details on this new Predictive AI platform, the CEO and US veteran behind it, and the opportunity at hand for well-timed investors.

San Francisco overcame a 20-point deficit in the first half of the NFC Championship game on Sunday to beat the Atlanta Falcons by a final score of 28-24. It was a thrilling conclusion, and the perfect sendoff to the franchise's sixth Super Bowl appearance.
Baltimore trailed New England 13-7 at halftime. In the second half, the Ravens scored 21 unanswered points to jump out to a big lead over the Patriots, which lost cornerback Aqib Talib in the first half. As usual, Baltimore's defense punished Brady's receivers on short passes over the middle and took away his deep options to limit the prolific New England offense.
The Super Bowl is the most watched event in America: Last year's event was the most watched show in American history, drawing 111.3 million viewers. A 30-second commercial spot in this year's game will cost $4 million, with CBS charging a flat rate for each advertisement.
Here's the info on the big game and how to watch it:

Last night The CW aired some “exclusive footage” from the forthcoming Wonder Woman film. And by “exclusive footage” I mean less than a minute and a half of people talking over a mixture of Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman footage.
But hey, it’s something.
To be clear, I am hyped up about the Wonder Woman movie, it’s just that I feel like this video is more about explaining why we should be hyped up than it is showing us anything that actually does the trick. And it makes sense, because we’re a year and a half away from the film’s intended release date. There isn’t a lot of finished footage to show us yet.
But hey, at least the movie is happening.
Wonder Woman is scheduled to come out June 23, 2017.

Does it seem to you that the current equipment hierarchy in your maintenance system (CMMS) does not support maintenance operations well enough? Alternatively, is there no hierarchy at all? I will share the three biggest benefits with you that can be achieved by using a correct equipment hierarchy. I will also give you tips how to build a hierarchy, which supports daily operations.
1. Helps you to use maintenance system and target work orders.
A well-built equipment hierarchy supports daily maintenance operations: you can easily find all necessary equipment from a logical hierarchy without spending extra time for searching. With accurate equipment hierarchy, you can target work orders and work reports directly to specific equipment. This way you also collect equipment failure data to the right location, namely the equipment level. You can use failure history to determine right maintenance actions for each equipment.
2. Gives you specific information on equipment maintenance costs.
When you collect equipment failure and work data to equipment level, you can monitor and analyze the maintenance costs for each equipment. By analyzing the costs you can notice how effective preventive maintenance actions are, and you get valuable information on possible investment needs.
A lot of resources can be spent on preventive maintenance of equipment but this does not always reflect in higher reliability. In the picture below you can see how the preventive maintenance costs amount to 9000 euros per year but monthly reliability is only 30 per cent.
In this case, the equipment’s preventive maintenance tasks should be reassessed. Preventive maintenance tasks may have been poorly targeted or calculated, or ineffective actions have been taken. The preventive maintenance program of equipment should be updated based on failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) or root cause analysis. The equipment may also be at the end of its life cycle, meaning that an investment to new equipment may be well founded.
3. Equipment criticality, technical and spare part details are available
With a comprehensive equipment hierarchy, you can gather important information about each equipment into CMMS. This helps in daily maintenance operations.
- Criticality level of each equipment. This helps in prioritizing maintenance work orders and planning preventive maintenance actions.
- With the technical information and equipment drawings in the CMMS, you can easily order new spare parts.
- By linking spare parts to equipment, you can see the warehouse inventory: which spare parts are in stock and their quantities.
A good equipment hierarchy equals to plant’s equipment base
Using equipment hierarchy should be easy and quick. It should also contain all the necessary information to effectively complete daily maintenance operations.
Equipment hierarchy consists of functional locations (in the picture below: -P at the end of ID) and equipment (-L). They both have unique IDs. An ID is often hierarchical: lower level ID inherits a higher level ID with an extension. Functional locations are objects that are bound to certain process locations. Equipment are individual, physical objects that perform the required action, like a pump.
The picture below shows how logical hierarchy path runs from the plant level to the equipment level. This KKS (Kraftwerk-Kennzeichensystem) ID coding is often used in energy plants. When you know the ID, you should be able to locate the equipment easily from the hierarchy.
Tips for building a comprehensive equipment hierarchy
1. Equipment hierarchy is often recommended to be built based on how equipment are situated in the process. This way you can see how dependent the process is on each equipment.
2. Use enough hierarchy levels to make a hierarchy that is visual and easy to use.
3. When deciding on equipment hierarchy precision use maintenance work targeting needs as a guideline.
- If equipment hierarchy is not precise enough, you cannot target work orders to equipment. Therefore, when you analyze the failure history it is very hard to identify which equipment caused failure.
- If equipment hierarchy is too precise, there is a risk of outdated data. This applies e.g. to equipment which is often replaced and you do not update its technical information regularly.
4. Use the help of piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) and process experts when deciding on CMMS’s equipment hierarchy precision.
With a comprehensive equipment hierarchy, you can effectively control the daily maintenance operations, get reliable information on the effectiveness of maintenance and, with the precise data collected, identify the development possibilities.
We will also be happy to help you with the development of your current equipment hierarchy!

From the Factory | November 10, 2021
What the Plek is Going on Here?
Well, there is always a lot going on at the Martin factory! But, today, we’re here to talk about the Plek process (also referred to as Pleking) and why it’s so important to the playability of your guitar.
Playability can be defined, in its simplest terms, as the overall feel and comfort of your guitar as you play it. Pretty intuitive, right? And the first thing that may come to mind when you think about the playability of a guitar is the comfort and set up of the guitar’s neck. And that is, of course, a key factor. But there are a few other things that can also affect playability, such as the string gauge, the actual size and shape of the neck, and the scale length of the guitar.
Taking all of this into consideration, Martin ensures great playability in every guitar we make from the very beginning of the manufacturing process right through to the very end. But one of the most important processes for playability is the Plek process which is done at Martin using a Plek® Pro machine.
What is a Plek® Machine?
A Plek machine is a sophisticated computer-controlled machine that was engineered in Germany as a tool for use in guitar production factories with the purpose of achieving optimum playability for fretted instruments. The Plek® Pro, which is what we use here at Martin, includes an additional component called a string tension simulator (STS).
How does this Plek Pro work?
After the guitar is fully assembled and finished, it is placed, without strings, into the String Tension Simulator (STS). The STS simulates a predefined string tension for each individual neck, so the truss rod and guitar neck react as if under string tension.
The Plek machine scans the fingerboard, going over every single fret and recording its values. It then generates a graphic image of the fingerboard and provides the operator with the optimum angles that are needed for that particular instrument for optimum playability. It shows the operator where it might have a high spot or a low spot in the frets.
Once the operator has these values, they can make minor adjustments using the Plek machine. The machine has a small grinding wheel that lightly grazes each fret where it needs to be adjusted to produce the absolute perfect playability. The Plek machine also cuts the nut, if needed, and it can regulate the saddle so everything is perfectly aligned.
With the exception of the Authentic Series, we Plek every wood guitar in both our Nazareth and Navajo facilities, except for our Authentic Series guitars. The reason we don’t Plek our Authentics is because they don't have an adjustable truss rod and that is because they are built just as they were in their year of origin.
At Martin we Plek our guitars at no charge to you, which is an incredible value. If you were to take your instrument to a service center to be Plek’d, it could cost you hundreds of dollars. And it’s understandable because Plek machines come with a very hefty price tag. But we feel they are worth every penny because we want every fret on every guitar we make to ring clear and true for you.
Follow along for more tips and tales from the Martin Guitar blog.

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel’s resident royalty is now offering special in-room bedtime or wake-ups to young guests with visits from Princess Corinne, the heroine of the hotel’s fairytale. When a knock on the hotel door reveals a princess, it becomes an unforgettable vacation moment, and a magical way to start or end your day at the “The Happiest Place on Earth.”
Visitors can reserve a royal audience with Princess Corinne for a bedtime story or breakfast wake-up call Fridays through Sundays. The princess and her royal page arrive with either a silver service of milk and a special sweet treat for bedtime, or orange or apple juice and treat for breakfast. The visit includes a story time, an autographed photo of the Princess, crowns for each child and a signed and dated Royal Certificate of Visit. This all-inclusive royal visit is $75 for 1 to 2 children and $10 per additional child.
“The princess is already a guest favorite with her morning audiences in the Garden Court Bistro, her Storytime gatherings around the lobby fireplace, and special activities throughout the year. This addition has been magical for our guests,” said Cindy Smith, director of sales and marketing at the hotel. “The children’s eyes light up as they open the door and find it’s Princess Corinne calling upon them.”
Royal princess bedtime visits can be reserved through the hotel sales department by calling (714) 234-2424.
Here are some tips for meeting Disney® Princesses during your time in the parks.
- Download the Disneyland app or pick up a printed schedule at the gate for scheduled appearances for the day and keep a lookout because sometimes your first princess encounter is as you enter the park.
- The Royal Hall in Fantasy Faire is a must stop because where better to meet a princess than near a castle. Every day three princesses hold court here in their own special nooks.
- Little fans of Frozen need to head to Hollywood Land in Disney California Adventure Park for “Anna & Elsa’s Royal Welcome.” The sisters can be found inside the Disney Animation building. It also gives you a chance to hang out with everyone’s favorite sea turtle, Crush at “Turtle Talk with Crush.”
- While Tinker Bell isn’t an actual princess, she is still a magical fairy and she can fly. Pixie Hollow near the Sleeping Beauty Castle is the place to meet Tink and all her fairy friends.
The best rule is to keep looking because princesses can turn up all over the parks. They might be rushing to a ball or their next royal engagement or playing their part in one of the park’s amazing parades or shows. Here’s one last tip for a close-up encounter hang out after a show in the Royal Theatre in Disneyland. Sometimes the princesses greet guests after the performance.

One of the largest dairy production operations in the United States is achieving outstanding environmental performance from a Global Water & Energy FLOTAMET anaerobic digestion plant that removes pollution from wastewater and transforms it into green energy to fuel boilers. The FLOTAMET-M system, installed at HP Hood’s Vernon, N.Y., plant is a key component of an integrated wastewater treatment line installed by Global Water & Energy that is achieving 99% removal of organic waste material from high-strength dairy production wastewater.
The wastewater treatment plant installed at HP Vernon replaced an older treatment plant to improve discharge qualities to local municipal treatment facilities, Global Water & Energy said, as well as to provide optimum treatment of high-strength waste from another HP Hood Plant in Oneida, N.Y. Removal of a large percentage of the wastewater’s chemical oxygen demand (COD) load means wastewater effluent leaving the plant is of such high quality that it dramatically reduces the impact of the HP Hood facility on the town’s small municipal treatment plant.
“And the technology is a double winner because not only does HP Hood’s Vernon plant achieve some of the best COD removal levels achieved globally, but also the biogas produced (primarily methane) saves the plant money by replacing natural gas previously purchased to fuel the plant’s boilers,” said Ian Page, Global Water & Energy vice president. “As in most food and beverage plants, that fuel is an important part of production processes and a major expense.”
The available footprint for construction of the new wastewater treatment facilities was also very restrictive. However, the system was able to fit in the available space and integrate well with the existing facilities, Global Water & Energy said, unlike other technologies HP Hood had investigated.
Global Water & Energy, a member of the Global Water Engineering (GWE) group of companies, has successfully built and commissioned more than 200 biogas utilization plants for clients worldwide over the past 15 years. Such plants produce green energy from pollution present in wastewater, using high-performance anaerobic bacteria to digest the dissolved and suspended organic matter, which is converted into biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, the company stated.
HP Hood’s Mt Vernon plant — with a capacity of 278,000 gallons per day of wastewater and 54,600 pounds per day COD — is one of the latest and most efficient GWE plants, featuring FLOTAMET technology that is particularly suitable for wastewaters rich in fat, oil and grease, as well as total suspended solids. Such technology is suitable for wide range of industries, including dairy production; meat, fish and food processing; biodiesel production; and for any other industry operation with a high-strength waste stream.
“The FLOTAMET system, for which no pre-treatment is required, offers reliable operation and superior removal efficiencies, leading to increased biogas production and improved effluent quality,” Page said.
In the HP Vernon application, it has demonstrated these qualities in service for more than a year, the company said, achieving:
- >99% COD removal across the entire process (including anaerobic and aerobic polishing)
- >96% COD removal in the FLOTAMET system. GWE’s ANAMIX reactor, the core process in the FLOTAMET system, achieves superior mixing of influent with anaerobic digestion biomass by means of a top-entry agitator that ensures that the influent is in constant contact with the biomass that consumes and converts waste material to biogas.
- Reliable handling of wastewater elements that may trouble conventional waste water technologies, including elements such as spoiled products (slops), as well as significant fats, oils and grease.
Produced under the market signature “Always Good, Always Hood,” Lynnfield, Mass.-based HP Hood LLC is one of the largest and aseptic production and extended-shelf-life beverage processors in the United States, Global Water & Energy noted. Using state-of-the-art, ultra-high-temperature (refrigerated and aseptic) manufacturing, HP Hood produces a variety of branded, licensed, and private label products including fluid dairy, citrus, cultured foods, frozen desserts, extended-shelf-life dairy and non-dairy beverages.

Munitions manufacturer ATK (NYSE: ATK) has been awarded a $3.2 million contract to provide a low-cost, light-weight, precision-guided missile that incorporates lock-on capabilities before and after launch.
The munitions maker is confident its guided advanced tactical rocket and precision-guided rocket launcher will meet the contract's requirements. The contract comes through the Defense Acquisition Challenge (DAC) program, which aims to incorporate innovative and cost-saving technology or products into existing Department of Defense acquisition programs. The missile will be evaluated by U.S. Special Operations Command.
ATK's VP and general manager for armament systems, Dan Olson, was quoted as saying, "Our on-going investment and expertise in precision strike weapons, including the GATR system, provide a mature capability that fulfils the requirements of our military customers using innovative approaches that minimize integration costs."
Launched from ATK's precision-guided rocket launcher, ATK says the guided advanced tactical rocket missile incorporates the same technology used in other combat-proven munition weapons, and offers the option of quick point detonation to "defeat soft targets" or delayed detonation to penetrate hardened targets.
The company says the rocket launcher can be seamlessly integrated onto air platforms using currently existing digital and analog fire control systems and can provide digital stores management for all loaded weapons.
ATK is an aerospace, defense, and commercial products company with operations in 21 states, Puerto Rico, and internationally.

Parents who offer their children on the Internet say they have limited options. After military service in the Navy Olivier studied graphic design in Pforzheim Germany and worked as a designer in Karlsruhe for a few years. She was heading back to Wisconsin, by herself, to the parents who had given her up not three weeks before. And one way to do that is to criminalise the buyer.
The exemption also covers remuneration pay for services incidental to the delivery of the newspapers, such as assembling the sections into complete papers. He shows me pictures of his forested town of Tangará da Serra, near the Bolivian border, his daughter in her 20s, and a cute little pale pig he has dozens of photos of. His own father is a trucker and has been in one of the highway blockades in Redenção in Pará state, to the north of here. Bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, holiday pay and termination pay are wages. A woman who said she is from Nebraska offered an 11-year-old boy she had adopted from Guatemala. Residents complain about used condoms littering the bus stops their children use to go to school.
Find Great Paying Jobs Find the latest information on better paying jobs. Others use drugs so that their work will be more bearable for them. The Puchallas also say they were giving up the teenager to protect their other children. On average, a child was advertised for re-homing there once a week. The company's headquarters is in Missouri. Through Yahoo and Facebook groups, parents and others advertise the unwanted children and then pass them to strangers with little or no government scrutiny, sometimes illegally, a Reuters investigation has found.
Days later, she goes missing. Rendered in Olivier's familiar sketchbook style, the 30-page illustrated journal tells the story of the illustrator's trip with Massih, a truck driver Olivier met in Tehran and accompanied for a four-day journey carrying bottled water down to a small island in the Persian Gulf. In a starkly different view, the government accused independent truckers and large companies of collaborating, and charged that it was unlawful. Our behind-and-to-the-left neighbors—José Gonçalves and his daughter Milena—joined in, and we four became fast friends for the duration of the 15½-hour bus ride. At the truck stop on Am Eifeltor near Cologne, prostitutes work out of caravans.
The fact is, prostitution is not a job like any other. Well, they got their taxes. These qualified benefits can be payments to an accident and health plan, group term life insurance premiums and dependent care assistance benefits up to the limits set by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. Those figures were released a decade ago, soon after Germany made buying sex, selling sex, pimping and brothel-keeping legal in 2002.
I was, frankly, astonished, and wondered if we would arrive at our destinations. Everything would be fine, Melissa assured her. Nicole also had a card for Melissa. This exemption applies to the typical house-to-house newspaper delivery or sale, and also extends to passing out handbills and other similar types of advertising material on the street. On Gesext, whoever places the highest bid is the man Jacky has to meet.
Its candlelit restaurants were known for their fine Mosel wines. Actually, says Knop, managing prostitutes is completely legal. He grew up in Simmozheim, a small village, in the Black Forest. Quita didn't use the code, Melissa says.
I took the ferry from Aberdeen to the Shetland Islands and another ferry from there to the Faroe Islands. First, Brazilians across the country already paid financially for the ten-day strike. Tips received from persons other than the employing unit are wages to the extent required to be reported under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. Taking custody through re-homing often costs nothing. Tiffany Higgins is a poet, translator, and journalist. Our bus travels along the eerie, utterly empty interstate road.
As Deputy Mayor of Amsterdam he spent millions of euros buying back window brothels, turning them into shops and restaurants in an effort to rid the city of the gangs that had moved in. Should he be elected, he promises to give power to the generals. Since 2006, it has stopped arresting streetwalkers even though soliciting is illegal in Britain and started working with them instead. Into his empty seat pops Eliana Ribeiro, originally from the state of São Paulo, now a resident of Sinop for 20 years. When she called the school that Quita was supposed to attend, an administrator told Puchalla that the teenager had never shown up.

TECO develops and analyzes for special vehicles, construction machines, cranes and special machines
Our calculations of lever gears and the simulations of the motion sequences result in optimal solutions for our customers' new products.
The demand for ever more powerful systems in the tightest and limited space requires the detailed simulation and calculation of lever drives and kinematic systems in the overall vehicle conditions.
This results in a largely even torque curve, continuous bearing forces and overloading of individual components is avoided.
The simulations are used for axle development in order to reduce the installation space and increase the steering ability.
In the area of lifting gears, the simulations are a crucial element in increasing the load capacity and expanding the work areas of the systems.
The simulations provide important data for creating the specification data sheets for the individual components of maschines and systems.

Rudin, Boston Properties land $250M loan at Navy Yard
WeWork will anchor the $410M Dock 72 office building
UPDATED: Jan. 24, 10:45 a.m.: Who says the market for construction finance is dead? Rudin Management and Boston Properties landed a $250 million loan for Dock 72, their tech-focused office building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The developers secured financing for the $410 million project from J.P. Morgan Chase, M&T Bank Corp. and U.S. Bank, the Wall Street Journal reported. Rudin [TRDataCustom] and Boston Properties broke ground on the 16-story building at 652 Kent Avenue last year.
The 675,000-square-foot building will be anchored by WeWork, which agreed to lease 222,000 square feet. Asking rents in the 17-story building will be between $60 and $70 per square foot, Rudin Management vice president Michael Rudin previously said.
The developers acquired a 99-year ground lease for the property in 2015. Dock 72 is part of the massive 4.5 million-square-foot redevelopment of the area.
Dock 72 is set to be complete in early 2018. [WSJ, 1st item] — E.B. Solomont


A woman arrested by Iran’s security forces has been charged with communicating with and transmitting information to a London-based television broadcaster, Iran International, which Iran’s government has accused of fomenting unrest, local media reported.
Fars, a semi-official news agency, reported on Thursday that Elham Afkari was arrested as she tried to flee the country and that she was an “agent” of the broadcaster.
There was no immediate comment from Iran International.
The arrest comes amid one of the boldest challenges to Iran’s government since the 1979 Islamic revolution, with nationwide protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the so-called “morality police” for not wearing “appropriate attire” in September.
Saeed Afkari confirmed his sister’s arrest on Twitter on Thursday, adding that the whereabouts of Elham’s three-year-old daughter was unknown.
On Tuesday, Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib called Iran International a “terrorist” organisation.
Iran has accused its regional archrival Saudi Arabia of funding the opposition news outlet, which has covered the protest movement extensively since it erupted in September. Saudi Arabia has not commented on the allegations.
“Recently, the agent carried out numerous activities and actions in slandering the Islamic Republic, inviting youth to riot and creating terror among the people,” Fars said with respect to Afkari.
Dozens of people, including security forces, are believed to have been killed during the anti-government protests, but authorities have not published an official tally.
Demonstrators returned to the streets on Thursday to mark 40th-day remembrances for those slain earlier – commemorations common in Iran and the wider Middle East.
Online videos appeared to show demonstrations in Tehran, the capital, as well as cities elsewhere in the country. Near Isfahan, a video showed clouds of tear gas.
It was not immediately clear if there were injuries or arrests in the latest protests. State-run IRNA news agency acknowledged the demonstrations near Isfahan. The protests commemorated the September 30 crackdown by security forces in Zahedan, a city in the Sistan-Baluchestan province.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have kept up their threats against the demonstrators and other countries Tehran accuses of involvement in the protests.
In an interview with the personal website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Khatib renewed threats against Saudi Arabia, along with the United Kingdom, Israel and the United States that officials have blamed for fomenting unrest that appears focused on local grievances. Khatib warned that Iran’s “strategic patience” could run out.
“Throwing stones at powerful Iran by countries sitting in glass houses has no meaning other than crossing the borders of rationality into the darkness of stupidity,” Khatib said.
“Undoubtedly, if the will of the Islamic Republic of Iran is given to reciprocate and punish these countries, the glass palaces will collapse and these countries will not see stability.”

Although Matt James’ Bachelor debut on Jan. 4, 2021, may have been relatively calm for what Bachelor Nation is accustomed to, there is plenty of drama promised for The Bachelor‘s 25th season. Surprise women and previous Bachelor contestants showing up to the stately Nemacolin Woodlands Resort are a few of the rumored shocks incorporated into Matt’s journey. One rumor in particular, though, has people’s interest piqued.
At the end of Matt’s first Bachelor episode, fans got a peek into the season’s future events. Contestant Katie Thurston was heard saying, “Well I’ve heard two different terms going around, I’ve heard ‘sugar baby’ and ‘escort,'” which are words not normally thrown around in Bachelor shows. Then, contestant Anna Redman said, “she may be having a transactional relationship with wealthy men.”
This chatter understandably left viewers with some questions, but per usual, blogger Reality Steve already had some information to share. (Spoiler alert)”If you watched Chris Harrison’s introduction of the women he did live on Twitter and Facebook, when he introduced Kaili Anderson, he said she works in the club scene in Chicago and her job has her being embroiled in a dramatic storyline this season,” he explained. However, it’s not Kaili’s profession that is being attacked. “Kaili is the one that accuses Brittany [Galvin] (who reportedly appears later in the show) of being an escort, I assume because of things she’s heard around Chicago,” he continued.
Now that the person in question has been revealed, let’s look into the truth about The Bachelor‘s Kaili Anderson.
Kaili Anderson has had trouble finding love
Kaili Anderson’s official Bachelor biography lists her as a hostess, and as Reality Steve said, Chris Harrison added that she works as a hostess “in the club scene” of Chicago. Kaili is a 26-year-old San Diego native who is ready to find someone witty, charismatic, and has a good sense of humor. Her bio says she “loves to show affection through spending quality time with her partner, performing acts of service, and making sure that her man knows their voice is being heard.” Although she has so much love to give, her family has apparently never approved of a single guy she has dated, and she is hoping Matt James can change that.
Although Kaili calls herself an “amateur runner” in her Instagram bio, she dreams of one day completing an ultra-marathon, which is a run that exceeds the distance of a normal marathon, per Very Well Fit. Her Instagram is full of photos flaunting her ripped abs and her life working in the club. Upon her Bachelor debut, she shared a picture of Matt giving her a rose and wrote, “He’s OUR boyfriend now.”
From her initial jaw-dropping entrance dressed in lingerie to the rumored chaos in which she partakes, it seems that Kaili is going to be quite the character and someone to watch on Matt’s season.

Ford F-150 Raptor Pickup Trucks Gets Even More Off-Road Capabilities
There's already more than enough power and torque on tap under the hood of the mighty Ford pickup, but delivering the ultimate high-performance off-road truck is about much more than just engine power.

Ford's F-150 Raptor is already most people's idea of the ultimate high-performance off-road pickup truck from the factory. No manufacturer or model can afford to stand still though, so the Blue Oval is making it even better for the 2019 model year with upgrades focusing on some key components that make the Raptor a true benchmark for off-road trucks.
There's already more than enough power and torque on tap under the hood of the mighty Ford pickup, but delivering the ultimate high-performance off-road truck is about much more than just engine power, it also has a lot to do with the suspension. And the Raptor's suspension upgrades for the 2019 model year make it even more capable of clawing away at the terrain than it is already.
The main upgrade is the addition of class-exclusive FOX 3.0 Internal Bypass shocks with Live Valve technology, which can adapt themselves to the terrain in real-time to actively maximize handling, comfort, and bottom-out resistance. The 2019 Raptor will also boast New Trail Control, which is a system similar to cruise control for low-speed, rugged terrain that automatically adjusts to send power and braking to individual wheels so drivers can stay focused on the important job of steering. And to keep you in your seat when navigating the kind of terrain the Raptor is designed to handle there are also some all-new Recaro seats.
Don't Forget to Subscribe to the 'Tech And Auto Show' YouTube Channel
Hermann Salenbauch, the global director of Ford Performance vehicle programs says of the truck: "Raptor's success is rooted in its incredible suspension, superb vehicle control and the confidence the truck instills in its owners. Upgrades to the 2019 F-150 Raptor have improved all three to new levels that the competition will have to benchmark – again. By automatically varying compression rates, Raptor can now make the most of its suspension travel of 13 inches at the front and 13.9 inches at the rear. The 2019 Raptor is not just more capable off-road. It's smarter."
The already-aggressive exterior gains even more intensity for 2019 thanks to a number of eye-catching new colors that include Ford Performance Blue, Velocity Blue and Agate Black, and we'll be seeing them on the upgraded 2019 F-150 Raptor when it goes on sale later this year.

'Dear friend': Regina kids make cards for Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation School
The students wanted to help after hearing about children who were sad
When students at M.J. Coldwell Elementary School in Regina heard that children and teens on Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation were feeling sad, they wanted to help.
The First Nation declared a state of crisis after a 10-year-old girl took her own life on Nov. 21. Following the declaration, a Saskatoon woman started a card writing campaign, and classrooms in Regina have taken up the idea.
The grades 1-3 students spent two days decorating cards and making snowflakes out of Popcicle sticks, with help from teachers.
While the teachers don't specifically discuss suicide, the students learn instead about emotional wellbeing through terms like the "blue zone" and "green zone."
"The blue zone is when you're sad, or sick, or tired, bored, and plain miserable," said Grade 3 student Rebecca Knelsen. "It's kind of sad to know that those people were in the blue zone and not feeling the best."
Knelsen said she gets out of the blue zone by saying nice things to people and not having anyone say mean words.
"Around this time [Christmas], not everyone's happy," Knelsen said. "They're not happy for some reasons and they will be much happier, I bet, once they get our cards and our snowflakes and everything we made."
The cards the students made have messages such as, "Dear friend, you are special, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," or "I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You are special! Yours truly."
Each snowflake has a space for a picture with a simple message.
Grade 3 student Sophia Brown said the snowflakes are meant to show that everyone is unique.
"It matters because everyone needs to be different," Brown said. "And if everyone's the same, it would be a really boring world."
Brown said she's been in the blue zone in the past too.
"I hope the cards help them to make them feel a lot better and in the green zone," Brown said.
A message for the children at Makwa Sahgaiehcan
Brown and Knelsen hope to send the message to the children and teenagers at Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nations School that they're loved.
"We want them to know that we care about them," Brown said. "Because they're so unique and special — and they should know that."
"We're thinking about you lots and lots," Knelsen said. "So that's why we made these things for you guys. ... Just try not to let anybody be mean to you or make you feel sad."

Portland has the tools, the drive, and the climate to become a model city for the world. Among the achievements are a successful and growing public transit systems and bicycle traffic infrastructure, density controlled by regional government, a definitive DIY culture that initiates local manufacturing and production, and preserved open spaces including the largest forested natural area within city limits in the United States.1
As a result, Portland has been defined as a city with high livability and environmentally active resulting in a large growth of non-local population. As of 2000 44% of Portland’s population was not born in the state or Oregon creating a community disconnect.2 While Portland is considerably resilient it has an ALTER EGO of crime ranking higher than the national average rates of depression, suicide, unemployment and homelessness.
Through education and stimulation, Portland can proceed to become a model city for the world through measuring and exhibiting resilient strategies. Due to world climate change and peak oil, consumption and emissions must be controlled and therefore measured to implicate responsibility for communities. Using Portland’s namesake, “The City of Bridges” indicator of responsibility serves of dual purpose of creating a sense of community and acknowledging the individuals impact on the community as a whole.
A system of sensors connected to each bridge indicates an environmental qualities, consumption, and transportation choices that impact peak oil and consumption rates. Solar panels feeding LED lighting create an instant visual dialogue of how the city as a whole is performing.

I'd bought an Amish Style chicken coop with nesting boxes on the front. I've got 6 chickens and 2 sets of 4 nesting boxes. Obviously I've got too many boxes. I was thinking of converting one half/side of the nesting box area to a feeder or feeder and waterer. Have any of you done this? Any design thoughts on it? Any, you're crazy to do that because ...?
Right now I've got a waterer on wood block at the side of the coop and a feeder hanging near it from the ceiling. I'd prefer to use the extra nesting box space for that.

My Latest Articles and Interviews
ABOUT ME & THE PODCAST
*This is me with Garrett Wilson at the 2022 NFL Draft
My name is Jeremy Platt and I am the creator, owner, writer, and podcaster for "Between The Tackles". I'm 19-years-old and I am attending Arizona State University, Barrett the Honor's College, where I major in Sports Business. At Arizona State, I am a part of Sports Business Scholars, an organization for the school's top-20 Sports Business students. From elementary school, all the way up through high school I played quarterback, wide receiver, and free safety. I began watching football when I was seven years old and have been in love with the sport ever since. I spend most of my time watching film, writing articles, listening to sports podcasts, working on my playbook, working out, and just constantly thinking about football. When I was 15 years old I became a credentialed on-field reporter for the AAF and a year later I became an on-field reporter for the XFL.
In 2017, at 13 years old, I created "Between The Tackles" a podcast and website dedicated to covering everything you'd need to know in the world of football. Whether it be in-season predictions, NFL Draft articles, fantasy football pieces, or analytical information, I am always trying to provide a fresh and unique outlook on the game. I believe my perspective is a combination of the players', fans', management's, and coaches' perspective.
For the 2022 NFL Draft, I was selected to be the "NFL Liaison" for artist, Rob Prior, who painted portraits of all the top draft prospects in Las Vegas.
My favorite thing about football is scouting NFL Draft prospects and watching them develop into household names. I enjoy creating draft reports and then refining my grading system. I am constantly working to become a better scout so that one day I am working in an NFL scouting department.

James leads depleted Cavs to NBA win over Pelicans
Los Angeles (AFP)
LeBron James scored 26 points to lead the injury-hit Cleveland Cavaliers to a narrow 90-82 home victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Channing Frye added 14 points off the bench for the NBA champion Cavaliers, who rallied for the win despite a tough shooting night.
Kevin Love scored 12 points and pulled down 11 rebounds before departing for the locker room late in the fourth quarter because the Cavs said he was ill.
Love connected on just five of 19 shots from the floor and missed all seven of his three-point attempts.
Cleveland's starting backcourt of DeAndre Liggins and Jordan McRae combined to shoot just two of 10 in 34 minutes and neither played in the fourth quarter.
Overall the Cavaliers connected on just 37.8 percent of their shots -- one of their worst shooting nights of the season.
James connected on nine of 21 attempts, pulled down seven rebounds and handed out six assists.
But he struggled to get in a groove until the fourth quarter on a night that saw Kyrie Irving out for the second straight game with what the team calls "tightness" in his right hamstring.
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue offered no timetable for Irving's return, after initially saying he didn't think the trouble would cost Irving any time.
The Cavs were stone-cold from three-point range, with not a single starter connecting from long distance.
Channing Frye made four three-pointers, reserve James Jones made one and Richard Jefferson another.
Lue inserted Jones in the game with 2:32 left in the third when his team trailed 65-61.
He provided a needed spark with his three-pointer, following with a forced turnover and an assist to James at the other end.
Rookie Kay Felder produced 12 points, eight in the fourth quarter, a key contribution as Cleveland erased a 10-point third-quarter deficit to eke out the win.
Anthony Davis scored 20 points with 17 rebounds for the Pelicans. Rookie Buddy Hield added 20 points but New Orleans shot a season-worst 36.4 percent and saw their four-game winning streak end.

On Friday I posted some beautiful inspiration for kid friendly salads. Well, here we are and here you are trying to decide what kind of salad to prepare for your family. Look no further! These salads are not only kid approved but something adults can enjoy as well, there are no pineapple chunks or mini marshmallows in these recipes… 🙂
The Wedge Salad
A wedge salad is a great way to get your kids to start enjoying salads since iceberg is quite mild (like crunchy water!) They’ll be focused more on the other toppings which can interchange but here’s a great recipe:
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, washed and cut into quarters
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 3 strips cooked bacon (turkey bacon is okay), crumbled
- 8 oz. crumbled blue cheese or feta, divided
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- Place one quarter of the lettuce on each of four plates or in a salad bowl, if serving homestyle.
- Sprinkle chopped tomatoes, crumbled bacon and half of the cheese evenly over the lettuce.
- Using a blender or food processor, combine the remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth.
- Pour over salad or serve on the side.
Broccoli is so, so good for you. It’s packed with vitamin C and calcium. This is a really good salad that I personally love and loved as a child.
- 5 strips bacon
- 5 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds (toasted, if desired)
- 1/2 cup raisins or crasins
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- Fry bacon until crisp and drain
- Boil broccoli in 3-quart saucepan three-quarters of the way full. While the water is heating, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water
- Add broccoli to boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Immediately drain it and plunge into ice water
- Drain and transfer to a salad bowl
- Add almonds, raisins, cheese, and onion
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Pour over broccoli mixture and toss well
- Mix in half of the bacon and crumble the remaining bacon over the top of the salad just before serving

Photo: Animal Services
El Paso Animal Services announced Wednesday that the department has received a Rachael Ray ‘Save Them All’ grant from national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society to conduct targeted spay/neuter surgeries, helping to reduce the number of animals entering the Animal Services Shelter.
Animal Services officials say they are “an active partner in the Best Friends Network, which offers help and support to animal rescue groups and shelters that save lives in their communities. Best Friends has lifesaving programs in partnership with more than 1,600 rescue groups and shelters across the country.”
Animal Services’ goal is to perform 400 spay/neuter operations over the next several months. The services will be provided to residents that live in the 79907, 79915, 79924, and 79927 zip codes.
These areas were selected due to the high number of animals that enter the shelter each year from these specific zip codes. A valid I.D. or a current utility bill is required to show proof of residence.

Afghan Refugees and Jihadis Are Reportedly Fighting on Opposite Sides of Syria’s War
If you thought Syria’s war was already a mess, here’s a development that’s not going to make it any less ugly.


By Charles Pekow — Bike well enough and be a good enough citizen and ye may win a gold medal – and not necessarily the Olympic type. Congress approved legislation awarding two-time Road Race World Champion Greg LeMond a Congressional Gold Medal “in recognition of his contributions to the nation as an athlete, activist, role model, and community leader.”
H.R.3589 , the Greg LeMond Congressional Gold Medal Act, notes that not only is he the only American to win the Tour de France (not counting Lance Armstrong who lost the title after he was caught illegally doping), he did it three times and won two world championships. He did this in spite of suffering repeated injuries.
LeMond commented on his facebook page, “I am honored for this recognition, and thank Rep. Thompson and Sen. Cortez Masto for their efforts on my behalf. It’s great to receive this recognition from Congress as I’m working with LeMon Composites and LeMond bikes to create forward-looking manufacturing jobs for America and the world. I will continue to push myself and my companies to live up to this honor as we move forward.”
Bronze copies of the gold medal may be awarded for sale under the legislation.
The legislation also notes that “Greg and his wife, Kathy, are active in numerous nonprofit causes, including healthy sport, assisting victims of sexual abuse and various childhood illnesses” and that “cycling offers young people a healthy, active, outdoor hobby.”


Where did that pothole come from? This is a common question we have all asked ourselves. Well the answer is, freeze-thaw cycle.
What is a freeze-thaw cycle you ask?
Freeze-thaw cycle occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart.
How often does this happen, when does this happen?
A freeze-thaw cycle is when the temperature fluctuates from above freezing (32 degrees F), to below freezing, and then back to above freezing. This is considered one freeze-thaw cycle, and Northern Ohio experiences several freeze-thaw cycles each year.
How does this affect my pavement?
When temperatures are above freezing, rainwater or snow melt will make its way into any small crack in the pavement. Then, as temperatures drop below freezing, the water within the cracked pavement begins to freeze and expand, causing the crack to expand and grow as well. Experts have measured the Water expands approximately 10% when frozen. In other words, there is no stopping the freezing water from damaging pavements from the inside out.
Unfortunately, freeze-thaw cycles can do more than expand cracks. Water underneath the pavement is meant to drain away, but during winter it freezes in the base and sub grade materials and no place to go. This forms Ice Lenses. Ice lenses are bodies of ice formed when moisture, diffused within soil or rock, accumulates in a localized zone. If we have normal winters, we will face several freeze-thaw cycles, if we have an above normal winter, we will see more ice segregation (erosion occurs and has been replaced by ice/water) which is catastrophic to pavement.
How do I protect my parking lot/my road/ my investment?
A maintenance program is where you start.
Fix holes as soon as they open up. (protect that base)
Crack seal yearly or every other year
Seal coat every two years or depending on wear.
Let one of our friendly estimators come out and evaluate your parking lot, road, driveway YOUR investment at no charge.
We will include and aerial view of your property and mark all repair areas in the general location (within reason). If you leave us some notes you don’t have to be there for to evaluate the parking lot. Sometimes we like to go real early in the morning so we can see a empty parking lot and get a good view of what is going on.

He impressed Indian Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Shipping at a Dubai event – with a video on how to make roads better.
A young Indian filmmaker from the UAE caught the attention of Nitin Gadkari, the Indian Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Shipping, during an event organised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) in Dubai on Wednesday.
After the event, 21-year-old Rohit Iyengar – who was born in Saudi Arabia and raised in the UAE – rushed to the minister and showed him a four-minute video he produced that showed Indians’ suggestions to fix India’s roads and traffic snarls.
“Unsatisfactory roads and traffic (situation) in India really need attention. I have been there for work for four months and had a terrible experience. Being an Indian, I thought it would be better to come up with a solution rather than complaints,” said Iyengar. “I would say this was an apt opportunity for me to at least bring this issue to the attention of our minister. The video is already on YouTube in English and Hindi, and I am planning to translate it into 45 Indian regional languages so that it reaches everywhere from municipalities to corporators and authorities.”
Impressed with Iyengar’s idea and compilation of multiple steps for improving India’s roads, Gadkari asked him to send the video to him later.

SITTING in his large office in the grand headquarters of the University of Wales, Newport, in Caerleon, Dr Peter Noyes says he is under no illusions about the job before him.
In January he will officially take up the role of vice-chancellor of the university.
He will be the chief executive officer of a multi-million- pound business that has to keep 9,000 students content.
Ever since it became a full constituent member of the University of Wales in 1996, Newport has claimed to be bucking the trend in higher education.
More students than ever are applying to go there and its popularity and pivotal status in the city means it plans to establish a new campus in the city centre.
Officials point to the status many of the university's departments have gained and the continuing expansion of the institution.
But there has also been the kind of publicity the university would rather not have.
In June The Western Mail revealed how, in one of the first cases of its kind, students were planning to sue the University of Wales, Newport, after significant changes were made to their courses. The university maintains it has done nothing wrong.
Students studying for a BSc degree in environmental management, were told midway through their course that teaching time was being cut for financial reasons.
Dr Noyes and the university dispute the students' claims and say they have acted properly.
The students say it is a case of the university "dumbing down" - dropping courses which do not attract as many students as the more populist courses.
"If you look at the press cuttings over the last year, they are overwhelmingly positive," said Dr Noyes. "There have been one or two press reports which have chosen to focus on the experience of a handful of students on programmes we couldn't sustain as an institution. We are dealing with that head on. At the moment, there is not much substance to that story of them suing the university. If anything, because they were in small groups, there is a case to be made that they have received a great deal of subsidy.
"We did listen to them and we put on extra classes for them and unfortunately some of those classes were poorly attended.
"These students have utilised every mechanism in the institution for them to air their concerns. They have appealed against their results, they have asked for a whole variety of investigations and we have given them around 300 documents. We are responding in every respect."
Despite the unwanted publicity, Dr Noyes says Newport has much to celebrate. These include plans for a new campus on the banks of the Usk in the city centre.
"This is a big business to run," he said. "And that makes it a very demanding prospect.
"We have increased the numbers of applications dramatically in the past three years and that is against the trend in UK higher education generally.
"There are lots of things coming up and it's a very exciting time for Newport."
Despite being a relatively new face on the higher institution block, Dr Noyes believes Newport is fast becoming an established part of the university scene in Wales.
He said, "It's surprising how quickly an institution can develop and become recognised.
"We can trace our history back to 1841 when there was the Mechanics' Institute in Newport. There are a whole host of things we can build on and eventually gather the recognition for the quality of work that goes on here.
"The new development is going to be a tremendous fillip for South-East Wales and the university."
The #20m city campus will incorporate the university's business school and its School of Art, Media and Design. There will also be new accommodation for students.
"In 10 years this university has gone from about 6,000 students to nearly 10,000 and that shows a remarkable success story. Because of that we need new facilities. The expansion has made a major contribution to the economic development of this region."
Funding continues to be a concern for universities in Wales and Dr Noyes is unequivocal that the Assembly Government should provide more.
"I would like to see the Assembly Government increasing the amount spent on higher education and supporting students," he said.
"That would recognise the importance of higher education as an economic driver in the country, which it certainly is.
"Higher education in Wales is underfunded. It's not just me saying that, all research undertaken by the funding council has demonstrated that.
"There are all sorts of activities we need to increase and expand, but we are certainly very focused on developing that side of our business as well as increasing the number of students studying here.
"What we need are staff who can operate across the following three areas - research, business development and teaching and learning.
"The atmosphere at the university is really positive and that is one of the things that inspired me to apply for the position."
Proposed changes rejected as 'too radical'
University leaders have rejected plans to abolish the traditional system of degree classifications despite a major national inquiry concluding that the current demarcations are 'not fit for purpose'.
Professor Robert Burgess's task force had recommended that firsts, 2:1s, 2:2s and thirds should be replaced with a simple 'pass', 'fail', or 'distinction'.
But the idea was too radical and lacked the necessary support among vice-chancellors for the reforms to go ahead, said umbrella group Universities UK.
Instead, one option being considered is to add a new grade within the current 2:1 to help employers distinguish between the 40% of all graduates who get upper-seconds.
A spokesman for Universities UK said the pass, fail or distinction proposal had not won enough support.
'There is a general acceptance that neither employers nor the (university) sector is ready for such groundbreaking change.
'People know what a 2:1 is,' he said.
'But the argument is that there are too many people with 2:1s, from an employer's point of view.'

The 75th Emmy Awards paid a tearful homage to departed stars in the television industry, with a special emphasis on the late actor Matthew Perry during the emotional "In Memoriam" segment. Singer Charlie Puth added a poignant touch to the tribute with a simplistic piano version of his popular song "See You Again" dedicated to the recently deceased television personalities.
Charlie Puth's Tribute
Puth's rendition took a heartfelt turn when he seamlessly switched to the much-loved theme song from the sitcom "Friends," a series where Perry was famously known for his character, Chandler Bing. This unexpected inclusion of the "Friends" theme song, "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts, struck a chord with the audience, further enhancing the emotional impact of the tribute.
Perry, who sadly passed away in October, was the final personality to be honored. As Puth melodiously concluded with "'Cause you're there for me too," the audience broke into enthusiastic cheers, a testament to the profound influence Perry exerted on his fans and the entire industry. The decision to memorialize Perry last was a fitting recognition of his significant contributions to television.
Remembering the Friends Theme Song
The decision to weave the "Friends" theme song into the tribute was a particularly emotional moment for viewers. The massively popular sitcom has left an unforgettable imprint on pop culture, amassing a dedicated fan base over the years. The unanticipated transition from "See You Again" to the "Friends" theme song added an element of surprise, fostering a deeper emotional connection for fans of Perry and the show.
A Tribute to Other Stars
The tribute extended beyond Perry, commemorating other influential figures from the television industry who have left an enduring legacy. This included stars such as Len Goodman, Barbara Walters, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens, Kirstie Alley, Irene Cara, and Andre Braugher. Each individual was remembered for their contributions to television and the void they left behind.
Fans took to social media to share their feelings after the performance. Many were deeply moved, expressing their love and admiration for Matthew Perry and the influence he had on their lives. The tribute served to underscore the potent connection between actors and their audiences and the enduring impact they can have.
Charlie Puth's Repeated Tribute to Perry
Charlie Puth's tribute to Matthew Perry at the Emmy Awards wasn't his first. Puth had earlier dedicated a rendition of "I'll Be There for You" to Perry during a concert in Melbourne, Australia. This song holds a special place in the hearts of fans who grew up watching "Friends" and now resonates even more deeply as a tribute to the beloved actor.
Reflecting on the Impact of Lost Stars
The "In Memoriam" segment at the 75th Emmy Awards was a touching tribute to the stars we have lost in the television industry. It served not only to honor their contributions but also provided a space for fans to mourn and remember the impact these individuals had on their lives. The tribute, with the inclusion of Matthew Perry and the unexpected insertion of the "Friends" theme song, added a personal and heartfelt touch.
As we reflect on the loss of these television stars, it serves as a reminder of the lasting impact they have had on the industry and the audiences they entertained. Their legacies will continue to live on through the shows and performances they left behind. The tribute at the Emmy Awards was a fitting way to honor their memory and celebrate their contributions to television history.
