Twitter has permanently deleted three of President Trump’s tweets following the violence that broke out in and around the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
Following Facebook’s decision to delete President Trump’s video addressing the violent protests, Twitter released a statement on the app explaining why his tweets were deleted.
“As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy,” the official Twitter Safety account tweeted.
Along with their initial tweet, Twitter included a link to the social media app’s Civic Integrity policy.
After sharing this tweet, Twitter Safety continued to explain the consequences President Trump would face on the app if he continued to violate their policies.
“This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked,” Twitter Safety said.
Moments later, as Twitter explained the importance of following the app’s civic integrity policies, the social media’s safety account tweeted out what would be done in the future if President Trump violates protocol after the 12-hour suspension.
“Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account,” Twitter Safety said minutes later in their thread regarding President Trump’s tweets. - Nexstar Inc.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a therapist selected?
Our team reviews your or your loved ones information not limited to location, diagnosis and evaluation/treatment needs. A therapist is selected off of those factors. If a therapist is not readily available in state of your location, we will consult with you to confirm you’re comfortable with waiting until our provider has necessary licensure to work with you or your loved one.
I’ve completed the evaluation, now what?
Your provider will recommend a certain number of sessions per week. Once you know that number, you can purchase your subscription here. Once sessions are purchased, you and your provider can begin with services!
What should I expect?
Upon purchase and sign-up, your therapist will connect with you to complete either the evaluation or therapy session. He or she will send you a link to the virtual therapy room and at the time of the session, you’ll click on that link to access the therapy room. At the end of the treatment or evaluation, your therapist will instruct you on next steps or any homework to work on.
What should I expect during the evaluation?
Your provider will give you a set of instructions and often times that consists of not telling your child when they have gotten a question right, etc., as that disrupts validity of testing. Our therapists are well-equipped in coaching you for assessment expectations to make for the most successful evaluation!
Does an adult need to be present for a child at all times?
It is important to have a responsible party present during the session. If a child is more independent, a responsible party within line of sight is sufficient. However, if a child is less independent or a therapist needs support with tangible materials/tactile prompting, it’s required that the responsible party be actively participating and sitting next to the child.
What should I do while my child is in therapy?
We ask that there is a facilitator within line of sight to assist if there is an emergency. Depending on your provider preference, you may just need to be available to start the meeting. However, if your child needs assistance with attention or tactile prompting, your provider may ask you to sit close by during. You are welcome to stay and learn as much as you’d like from the session.
What if I’m in a subscription but go on vacation?
Your subscription amount will not vary. However, our provider will work to fit in extra sessions before and after you leave. Session also rollover into the next month.
Do you take health insurance?
We do not currently accept insurance. However, we can provide you with a bill to submit to insurance to receive reimbursement, as applicable. In-network vs. out of network reimbursement varies depending on provider.
What type of technology do I need?
A computer or tablet with a built in camera and microphone and access to reliable internet. If possible, it is recommended you hard wire to your internet OR meet from a room that is close to your internet source.

The 82-bed, 95,000-square-foot project will replace Sarasota Memorial’s aging behavioral health hospital and be situated on the hospital’s main campus.
Plans for the pavilion call for four dedicated inpatient units, including an 18-bed geriatric unit, 20-bed acute-care unit, 22-bed adult unit, and 22-bed child and adolescent unit. The new facility will offer all private rooms, as well as sensory rooms.
A separate outpatient department will centralize the hospital’s existing partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, electroconvulsive therapy, and outpatient counseling services. Clinical and support space for pharmacy, laboratory, food and nutrition, public safety, housekeeping, and administrative services are also planned.
Construction is slated to be completed by October 2023.

§ Mr. W. R. SMITH
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware that returned soldiers who have applied through the Kent County Council for land, each in his own parish, in the Romney Marsh, Kent, have been outbid by farmers who, not having had to join the forces, have improved their financial position, and who conse- 2065W quently have been able to buy up all the cottages and more land than they could cultivate or find sufficient labour for; can he state why civilian fathers and brothers of ex-Service men are unable to obtain small holdings from their parish councils as in pre-war days; whether at the present time small holders who live in a farmer's cottage are obliged to work for the farmer or to run the risk of being turned out of their cottage; and whether action can be taken to help all Romney Marsh smallholders by the purchase of a large farm and cottages in some central place like St. Mary's, where instruction and loan of Implements could be given?
§ Mr. PRATT
The Board are aware that in many cases county councils are finding difficulties in purchasing land at auction, owing to the high prices that are being paid by tenant farmers and others. Civilians can still apply to county councils for small holdings as in pre-war days, but the councils are required to' give a preference to applications from ex-Service men. With regard to the third part of the question, the operation of the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (War Restrictions) Acts should have removed any apprehension on the part of tenants of cottages as to the risk of eviction. With regard to the last part of the question, the Board have been informed by the Kant County Council that they are considering the question of the acquisition of a considerable acreage in the Romney Marsh district for the provision of small holdings.

My name is Ian, i am a 18 year old who enjo... Show moreys car projects. This turbo festiva project is my senior highschool senior project. I am setting it up to be a autocross race car. The project will include a B6T motor swap with the G25r 5 speed transmission. Aiming for 150 hp to the wheels i should be set for autocross. Along with the engine the interiour will be semi-striped so i can install a 6 point roll cage, along with with a OMP race seat and 4 point harnesses. To top it off i am going to install a custom suspenion using mazda 323 KYB gr2 struts, ground control coil overs with 300 in/lb spring rate in the front, and 200 in/lb in the rear.

Photoshoped on the Enkei RS6's hope to have REAL pix next week
Here you can see my interior with my autometer phantom series 3-3/4" tach and 2-5/8" boost gauge
Optima Red top in the rear
Only one and a half weeks after i got the car on the road it inhaled a peice of sheet metal that dropped into the intercooler pipes when i was cuting for fitment. Left a nice mark on the piston and head. Luckly nothing broke and i had the car on the road again in 3 days :)
So i also kept busy after my FOD (foreign Object Damage) got my interior up to snuff and made a grill along with intercooler protector. I also installed a lindsey racing blow off valve along with a new AFM in atempts to get rid of my miss fire problem.
2- Festiva Engine work
Heres the festiva engine being removed
Trying to understand which aproch to go at this for taking the engine out
3- Mercury Capri Engine removal
Heres the removal that i have done with the B6T motor
Labeling the electrical
Removing axle nuts
Passenger side engine mount
and its out
4- Engine Install progress
Heres the progress of the install of my motor
I used the rear transmissing mount with the G25r transmission because i did not want to have to mess with the rear engine mount. This is not the best method for the engine install mainly cause it pushes the engine pretty far forward.
This is the front transmission mount, as you can see it does not line up at all
And here is the final engine mount, as you can see it is also way off
Here is my meathod for solveing the front trans mount problem
and once more
Here is the engine in test fitment
This is the hole i drilled for the main wire harness. I used a 2.5 inch hole saw
and the harness is in
MY SOLUTION to the passenger side engine mount. Many other people just use a bar and use the stock body mount but since i will be doing autocross, that would not be strong enough.
Here is the body mount i made
And its in. My super welding job :-\
and the engine is in!
This is the FMIC i picked up off of EBAY!!! 21" wide core, 5.5" high, 2.5" thick
Cool ass Valve Cover haha
engine in place again with the cool ass valve cover i painted haha
I picked up a porsche 924 radiator because it fit under the hood lack area. I could not use the traditional Civic SI radiator that is used in many swaps because of the way i have my engine mount set up.
Here it is
11.5*23*1.25... that general size
It has a dual inlet on one side, so i gota cover one of the hoses
The radiator did not fit right in
So I had to cut off the tabs for the bumper skin
Then it went right in, and fitted up PERFECTLY
The bottom mounts fitted perfectly to the frame peice, i used a rubber hose underneath radiator for a shock
Radiator is in and completed :)
As you can see im getting along with the engine
Here is the radiator hose i had to play with to get to fit to the new radiator
This is what i had to do
mounting up the radiator
Here is the driver side hose. It fitted up almost perfectly!
and its in
Mounted the intercooler, looks pretty nice.
Mounted on the bumper frame
You can see how i mounted it. I used two 5 inch bolts through the whole bumper (there is 4 or 5 layers inside) so it is nice and supported.
Close up side shot
5- Suspension work
I purchased Ground Control Coil Overs directly from the company. I had to have them make me this kit because they usually do not have kits made for a Ford Festiva. I got 300 in/lb springs in the front, and 200 in/lb in the rear. I figured since the car was going to be used for autocross it should be pretty stiff.
The taller spring is for the rear and is the 200 in/lb spring
Here you can see the spring on the KYB GR2 Shock
This is a close up of the rear spring
The rear shock, I am using a monroe shock because i had purchased them a while ago before i desided to make the car a race car. I do not think it will be a problem though because i will not mind a little softer rear end.
And both the shocks next to each other
I put the driver side together. I refinished the "a-arm" and painted it black, got new sway bar bushings, new boots, new seals ext. i got it all in, and for fun i lowered it all the way. You can't see how low it really is though because of the angle and because the passenger side isnt lowered down yet. injoy :)
All the struts next to each other
tightening the strut mount
putting the new strut in
front end is DONE.... AND SLAMMED Dont worry im really not going to keep it that low this was just for fun.
There it is, kyb's with ground control coil overs
My car was so low i could not get my jack out when i first lowered it.
front end its pretty low eh?
Slammed. Tire sits about an inch and a half inside the wheel well.
6- Roll Cage
Heres my interour in progress. I have the roll cage in (at 4 points) and i am in the process of installing the last two points on the rear struts. I also have a OMP race seat that i need to get in, along with two sets of 4 point harnesses! I bought this roll cage kit for 300$ shipped from summit racing. (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=egnsearch.asp&N=115 400606 313157&autoview=sku)
Its a great deal and the cage is very nice
Tack welding the cage into place
welding in angle iron along the side beam because my floor board was rusted through. This should be stong enough if any thing were to happen but im also going to weld in a peice of steel to cover the floor just in case. I put this angle iron in on both passenger and driver side
This is the peice i used for the rear floor mount. I used my torch to cut out a Aprox. 2.5"x4"x3/4 block to try and spread the load of the roll cage.
and its in (at 4 points)
I fitted in the extra door peice i have to the rear strut towers. It happend to be the peice i have fitted perfectly between the struts
After I tacked in the strut tower brace i had fit up the other peices i have so i could connect the roll cage to the tower brace
After i measured the peice i needed, I cut and coped it to fit very nicely
This is the top part that connected to the roll cage it fitted nicely too
After i made sure every thing was set i put it in and tack welded it
I Think it looks nice
And these are my tack welds, not to bad for some one who has been welding since november
Its in! waiting to finish up the welds this sunday!
Here i am copeing the pipe by eye because i am awesome
see... i am awesome
And its finished and all tacked in!
Yeah.. festiva with 6 point roll cage
I finished up the roll cage today 2/11/06. Its all welded in and im going to paint the welded points tomarrow. :)

Workers don't leave emotions at home
Employers who provide support for emotionally troubled staff could see it pay dividend in terms of raised productivity, reduced absenteeism and lower staff turnover, researchers have said. Rob Bailey and Tatiana Gulko from OPP Ltd carried out a survey of 1,212 people from the UK and Ireland and the results are being presented at this week's annual conference of the British Psychological Society's Division of Occupational Psychology.
The participants were assessed on factors including their lifestyle choices, work outcomes and personalities, as well as their psychological wellbeing.
It was found that those displaying low levels of anxiety and high emotional stability were more likely to report themselves as happy, healthy and lucky.
Importantly, they were also more likely to be promoted at work and take on leadership roles in their personal lives.
On the contrary, staff who were anxious were more likely to take time off due to tiredness and a lack of fulfilment.
Mr Bailey said it is unsurprising that poor mental health has an impact in the workplace, as people cannot leave their emotions at home.
"The employer prepared to offer interventions such as employee assistance programmes, which typically offer advice that extends to employee wellbeing outside the workplace, may find that they reap the benefits during work hours," he added.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales is proud to present ARTEXPRESS 2021, celebrating the next generation of Australian artists and showcasing outstanding works of art created by NSW students who overcame many hurdles to complete the Higher School Certificate (HSC) Visual Arts examination in 2020.
The exhibition at the Gallery features 48 artworks selected from 8617 student works submitted for the 2020 HSC, including works by students from government and non-government schools from across metropolitan and regional NSW. Look out for Inner West artist Ella Powditch and her work “My Cabinet of Curiosities”. Her dad is well known Marrickville artist James Powditch.
Art Gallery of NSW director Dr Michael Brand said the Gallery is proud to present the 37th annual ARTEXPRESS and commends the Class of 2020 for their perseverance.
“I congratulate all 2020 HSC Visual Arts students on the outstanding accomplishment of creating their body of artwork, during one of the most challenging years on record,” said Brand.
“Creative pursuits can provide great comfort in difficult times and it is our hope that this year’s cohort found solace in their artmaking, as well as a sense of defiance.
“The high standard of work on show is a testament to the tremendous talent and resilience of students and teachers in NSW who adapted to change and overcame challenges – from bushfires to the pandemic – to complete their studies.
“We are delighted to share their work with the thousands of visitors who look forward to this annual exhibition, which has become one of our most popular.”
The exceptional bodies of work represent a broad range of approaches across a range of art forms, including painting, drawing, photo-media, sculpture, ceramics, time-based works, documented form, printmaking, textiles and fibre and graphic design.
Art Gallery of NSW curator of ARTEXPRESS 2021 Louise Halpin said this year’s exhibition offers an insight into the hearts and minds of young people during a very difficult year.
“ARTEXPRESS 2021 is a showcase of extraordinary bodies of work exploring a range of both global and deeply personal themes – from the environment, urban life and beauty of the natural world to identity, relationships and reflection on the 2020 experience,” said Halpin.
The exhibition began in Sydney in the late 1950s and has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of NSW since 1983. Accomplished artists who have previously been selected for exhibition prestigious include Ben Quilty (1992), David Griggs (1994), McLean Edwards (1990), Melissa Chiu (1990) and Jasper Knight (1996).

A California family is at its wits end over a live-in nanny who won't leave after being fired.
Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte hired Diane Stretton, 64, in March to help care for their three children and do work around their Upland home.
In exchange, she received room and board.
"All of a sudden she stopped working, she would stay in her room all day and only come out when food was ready," Marcella Bracamonte told ABC News.
Stretton then told the family she had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and couldn't help around the house.
After weeks of encouraging Stretton to perform some of her duties, the couple approached her with a 30-day notice earlier this month, which Stretton refused to sign.
"When I asked her why she wouldn’t sign the letter she said ‘It’s not legal,’ and slammed the door in my face," Bracamonte told ABC. "Once she said the word legal, I knew it wasn’t going to be fun."
Police said it's a civil matter, saying once someone has "established residency you have to go through the formal eviction process."
The family is now waiting for Stretton to respond to a legal notice.
Stretton, meanwhile, has threatened to sue for wrongful firing and elder abuse.

Over the past few weeks, there have been a bunch of games showcases focused on indie titles hailing from all over the world.
Between Wholesome Direct, Steam Next Fest, Devolver Digital’s ‘MaxPass Plus’ and the 2021 Guerrilla Collective, there was certainly no shortage of promising indie games on display.
But only eight indie developers can say that they were featured in the first-ever Tribeca Games Spotlight, which was put together earlier this month by the world-famous Tribeca Film Festival. What’s more, just one of those studios was Canadian — the Toronto-based indie developer Mighty Yell.
Tribeca spotlit the four-year-old Canadian studio’s debut title, The Big Con, an adventure game about a teenaged con artist in the ’90s who tries to raise money to save her mother’s video store.
“We were floored. This is not only the first Tribeca [Games Spotlight], but we were in it,” says Dave Proctor, The Big Con‘s writer-director. “And we were one of eight. I was like, ‘How many are there, 100? No, eight?’ Yeah, I’m still taken aback by it — I’m still so proud.”
The eight games in question were selected by an advisory board consisting of several big figures in the entertainment industry, including Toronto-born The Game Awards creator Geoff Keighley, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau and Max Payne writer Sam Lake.
Impressively, Mighty Yell even managed to get Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart to introduce The Big Con at Tribeca. “That was wild — that was the icing on the cake for this whole thing,” says Proctor.
Thank you @MelissaJoanHart for helping us introduce our teen con artist game, #THEBIGCON to the world at @Tribeca 🤟😎https://t.co/FeZZq3HiSO pic.twitter.com/9pzUSfUCD1
— The Big Con COMING AUG 31st! ✨Wishlist on Steam!✨ (@MightyYell) June 11, 2021
He credits the team’s marketing director, Corina [Diaz], for discovering the whole Tribeca opportunity and applying for the team. This was especially helpful, he says, as the core team consists of just six people. “As the guy who’s doing the writing and game design, having someone who was in charge of marketing and visibility […] is such a huge benefit and privilege,” he says.
This helped Proctor focus on realizing the game’s vision, which he says comes from years of reverence for con artist stories and ’90s nostalgia.
“I’m a big fan of period-based nostalgia but not specific references. I didn’t want the game to be ‘the Clintons!’ ‘Nirvana!’ We wanted it to feel like you’re in the ’90s, so a lot of that is aesthetic-based,” he explains. “There are some references, too — landlines, teenagers having their own phone line, I think I mentioned Pearl Jam once in the game.”
In keeping with the ’90s vibe, Ali even has an imaginary friend named Rad Ghost. “He’s just this guy who looks like a ’90s bedsheet. Canonically, in our heads, he’s also the ghost of an MTV VJ, although we never say that,” Proctor says with a laugh.
The game’s whimsical tone, meanwhile, comes in no small part due to its colourful aesthetic, which Proctor attributes to art director Saffron Aurora.
“We wanted to try something that was inspired a little bit more by 90s comics and cartoons. So she started looking at Nickelodeon and stuff, and I was like, ‘also check out comics like Ghost World, look at the way that’s shaded and heavy line drawings and stuff,” he says.
“But there was a big part of her that remembered or watched a lot of [’90s content]. People say Doug a lot of time because it’s got those big thick black lines and bright colors and stuff like that, and I think there’s a there’s a lot of truth to that. But we also just wanted something that was bright and colorful.”
On the music front, composer Dan Rodrigues has lent The Big Con a decidedly upbeat and laidback score. But Proctor also got to leverage his own Toronto band experience alongside Rodrigues and his friend Matt Winkler in an exciting way. To add to the ’90s feel, Mighty Yell worked with Rockapella, the a capella music group behind the nostalgic theme to the ’90s PBS show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, to create The Big Con‘s theme song.
“[Mighty Yell] wrote the song, we were like ‘this is what needs to happen for the song,’ and we gave it to Rockapella and they gave it back to us and we’re like, ‘wow, what have you done? This is beautiful!'” says Proctor of the Rockapella collaboration.
Overall, though, Proctor doesn’t want The Big Con to solely be about nostalgia. “It’s more about creating an atmosphere and a feel. To me, the stories kind of emerge from that.”
The key story there is Ali’s, who undergoes her own coming-of-age journey amid her grifting. It’s a narrative that Proctor worked out early on with Jill Murray, a prolific games writer who’s worked on such titles as Eidos Montreal’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Ubisoft Montreal’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Unknown Worlds’ Subnautica: Below Zero.
“We were kind of like, ‘Who is this character? Who is Ali?'” says Proctor of his early conversations with Murray. “She’s this kind of sarcastic ’90s protagonist [who] also has these hang-ups about wanting to live her own life that don’t necessarily involve becoming a famous musician like her mom wants. That kind of resonated with both of us.”
From there, he says his love for con art movies made it “a natural fit” to shape The Big Con into an adventure game.
“It was something I always wanted to do and I always wanted to experiment with non-linear adventure gameplay. Instead of ‘there’s the door, how do I find the key?’ it’s ‘this is the amount of money that I need to get through,’ he says. “I wanted to have something where you could do a bunch of little quests and that would contribute to a goal. And a very kind of natural design affordance for that is money.”
While Proctor notes that The Big Con isn’t 100 percent open and systemic, he says the game does offer some freedom in how you approach your grifts. This means that Ali will be able to go around and pickpocket people for small amounts of money or take on quests that can involve elaborate disguises or breaking and entering for greater rewards.
“If you do the thing that you have to do, do you also do these things on the side? Or do you instead only do the things on the side?” he says of the game’s design philosophy.
“Every character has their own sort of voice, even if they only talk for one or two lines. And you run around and you stumble on something and someone’s talking about something, and you’re like, ‘oh, I wonder if I can engage with that.’ It’s definitely a bit more open-ended.”
Players also don’t have to worry about some of the other limitations that might be found in other games, Proctor says. “I’m not putting a clock on you and there’s no morality metre. It’s just like ‘what do you want to do?”
In the case of The Big Con, the concept of morality is an interesting one, as Proctor notes the game’s subject matter initially put off some people. During the Tribeca Games Spotlight, Proctor made a rather interesting statement about the difficulties of pitching a game like The Big Con that focuses on non-violent crime. “Games with guns don’t bat an eye, but the moment you have to steal an old lady’s wallet, people start to think maybe there’s something wrong with you,” he said at Tribeca.
When asked to unpack that quote, Proctor notes that Mighty Yell did indeed encounter some resistance from publishers it had met with.
“There was some pushback. I’m not gonna lie,” he admits. “Not a ton, [but] I will say that I met with a lot of different people that saw something in the game and didn’t see something else.” He says Skybound, the publisher of The Big Con, is an example of the former, but there were several others who didn’t vibe with the game’s concept.
“There were also people that we met and they’re like, ‘well, this isn’t nice.’ Or they would either say ‘no, this is morally obtuse,’ or they would say, ‘I don’t want a game without combat.’ And those were the two things that we kind of batted back and forth. We did not flinch.”
Proctor says this hesitation towards games like The Big Con is emblematic of the broader video game industry’s focus on more action-packed experiences. “I do believe our industry is very reliant on violence as core mechanic,” he says. “And I have zero judgment for those kinds of games — just me, personally, and the team at Mighty Yell want to try to do something a little bit different when we can.”
For Proctor, this meant using the story of a teenager turning to crime to save her mother’s livelihood to serve as a commentary on the struggles of small businesses.
“I think a lot about local economies and stuff like that. I live in a corner of Toronto and we’ve got a great little general store and sells a bunch of rad social justice books and stuff for kids. And, like, if I give them money, then the money stays here, and they support each other. And that is a positive thing to me because those people live here, and then they bring money to other folks.”
He says this has only become even more important after small businesses were hit particularly hard due to COVID-19.
“During this pandemic, we’ve had a huge disrespect for homeless people in Toronto — politically, anyways. And we also have a lot of love for big box stores, and those are not necessarily connected, but they are in terms of where we devote our energy to it,” he says. “I think it’s important to have conversations about what the little guy is doing and to draw attention to that. And I won’t spoil anything, but I do have a little bit of that conversation explicitly in the game, and I’m looking forward to people finding it.”
So far, though, he’s happy with the response from players who tried out the game during Tribeca and the Steam Next Festival.
“When we were sharing this game with some people, someone said to us, ‘I played this with my son who’s six. And he was like, ‘don’t steal from those people because they’re nice, but this guy’s mean. And they had a father-son conversation about why is Ali doing what she’s doing and what does it mean to steal? And is it right? Or is it wrong?'” he says.
“And they didn’t necessarily come to a conclusion or an answer, and that’s cool — that’s a good thing to me. I think if we can do something a little bit different, if we can make people have those questions, then that’s a positive thing.”
The Big Con will release on Xbox One and PC (Steam) on August 31st.
This is the latest entry in our monthly Canadian developer interview series. Last month’s feature, which focused on the noir detective adventure Backbone, can be found here.
Update 22/07/2021 at 3:59pm ET — Updated with the game’s since-confirmed release date.

Seattle University Film Studies presents Avengers, Wonder Wom[e]n, and Predators: Sharing Experiences and Strategies for Women Working in the Film Industry on January 10, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., in Wyckoff Auditorium.
Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer—every week brings fresh additions to the list of accused sexual offenders in Hollywood, and the film and entertainment world. They join older luminaries like Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, and Roman Polanski as representatives of an industry culture of gender discrimination and sexual misconduct. As the #metoo movement continues to bring mass attention to a sector long known for its exploitation of women and their sexuality, it is clear this behavior permeates the entire industry and its formal and informal hierarchies. While actresses have been the focus of media attention, every woman working in film, from the production assistant to the studio executive, is forced to navigate this abusive environment.
Now is the time both to push for rigorous reform of this industry but also to soberly address, with students and other community members interested in film, the risks and challenges women face in this profession. To that end, the Seattle University Film Studies Program is holding a panel with female film professionals. The panel, moderated by Dr. Justine Barda, includes:
Panelists will share their experiences working in film, their strategies for navigating the male dominated industry, and their responses to the current conversation around sexual misconduct. This event is specifically intended for film students who plan to pursue careers in the film industry, especially women, and is open to the public.
For further information, contact either Dr. Ben Stork or Dr. Justine Barda.

Yesterday on the Senate floor, McCain proved the only difference between him and Barack Obama is the President has two daughters neither of whom go on TV just to sound stupid about politics.
Yesterday the former GOP standard-bearer John McCain showed himself to be a warrior in President Obama’s war on success.
On Monday Senate investigators discovered that Apple’s been a perfectly legal mix of international tax shelters
to lower its tax burden. For example, they have a holding company
incorporated in Ireland that keeps its bank accounts in the U.S., Since Ireland assesses residency based on where the company’s assets
are but America assesses residency based on place of incorporation, for all intents an purposes, this holding company exists nowhere for tax purposes.
According to Politico Apple saved $44 billion since 2009 from tricks like this which are all perfectly legal. The United States has one of the world’s highest
corporate tax rates, so there is no wonder why US based companies look for international tax shelters . But he Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation report attacked Apple most heavily.
Congressional investigators found that some of Apple’s subsidiaries had no employees and were largely run by top officials from the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. But by officially locating them in places like Ireland, Apple was able to, in effect, make them stateless — exempt from taxes, record-keeping laws and the need for the subsidiaries to even file tax returns anywhere in the world.
In other words, the Democratic Party-controlled Senate was throwing another another punch in President Obama’s war on success (remember nothing that Apple did was against the law–they simply had great CPAs).
Yesterday, the Senate brought in Apple executives so they could make a public spectacle of yelling at success.
At the start of the hearings, as the Ranking Member, McCain got to say a few words, he decried what he described as Apple’s “scheme” to avoid taxes.
“U.S. corporations cannot continue to avoid paying their appropriate share in taxes,” said McCain. “Our military can’t afford it. Our economy cannot endure it. And the American people will not tolerate it.”
Appropriate share of taxes….now where have I heard that before?
When it came time for Senator Rand Paul a member of the committee to speak he attacked the proceedings.
Tell me one of these politicians up here who doesn’t minimize their taxes,” Paul said. “Tell me a chief financial officer you would hire if he didn’t try to minimize his taxes legally. Tell me what Apple has done illegally. I’m offended by government that uses the IRS to bully the Tea Party, but I’m also offended by government that convenes a hearing to bully one of America’s greatest success stories. I’m offended by the spectacle of dragging in executives from an American company that is not doing anything illegal.”
“If anyone should be on trial here, it should be Congress,” Paul went on. “I think the committee should apologize to Apple, I think Congress should be on trial here for creating a bizarre and byzantine tax code that runs into the tens of thousands of pages and for creating a tax code that simply doesn’t compete with the rest of the world.”
Committee Chairman Levin fired back after Paul’s salvo, saying that while Apple was indeed a great global technology company, “No company should be able to determine how much they are going to pay in taxes . . . using all kinds of gimmicks to avoid paying the taxes…”
“This subcommittee is not going to apologize to Apple,” Levin said. “We did not drag them in front of this subcommittee. They have come here willingly to explain their system. We intend to hear from them as to what this system is that they use.”
Of course Levin is a progressive Democrat…that’s what he is supposed to say, but Paul wasn’t done, and gave the committee some more.
But John McCain had just about enough, wanting keep his progressive stripes when it was his turn to speak again he faced Levin and said the two of them had
worked together for more than a quarter of a century in the Senate and
“I know of no member of the United States Senate who ever accused
you of bullying or harassing a witness . . . And frankly it’s offensive
to hear you accused of that behavior which has never characterized the
conduct of this committee.”
Barack Obama must have smiled at that knowing he has another ally in the war against success.
Paul is correct the real problem is our crazy voluminous tax code. Apple’s first obligation is to its shareholders many of them “moms and pops” and/or pension plans for “moms and pops.” If progressives such as Carl Levin or John McCain want Apple to bring its earning back into the United States simplify the tax code and lower the tax rate. This is still a free capitalist country and a corporation’s gotta do what a corporation’s gotta do to earn money. Much of that is producing the best products at the lowest rates, but some of that is paying out as little as possible–the fiduciary responsibilities of senior management.
This brings us back to Senator McCain. In 2008 the GOP nominated Obama-lite to be president, voters chose the “original” Obama. In 2012 the GOP nominated Mitt Romney who was a bit less Obama-lite but still closer too close to the progressive standard bearer and once again the people chose the original over the copy.
2016 is just around the corner, it is clear that the Democratic Party is not moderating, they will most probably choose another radical progressive as their nominee. If the Republican’s follow suit and choose another “progressive-lite,” a John McCain or Mitt Romney clone they will be dooming us to another four years of crashing down the abyss of over regulation, over taxation and success-prevention. Given the choice between a John McCain type or an “original” progressive voters will always choose the original.
