This is a post about my beloved cat. She’s been gone six months today, and my heart is still raw. Anyone who has ever loved a cat knows that indeed, there are no ordinary cats. Minky was no exception to that rule. She was exceptional, special, amazing. Obviously I thought she was gorgeous. And others did too…she inspired songs, namesakes, and fan pages on the internet. (Seriously going back as far as the geocities days…hello dial up!) She was the love of my life… I miss her so much. I’m not sure I believe in ‘familiars’ or anything like that, but if they do exist Minky was mine. The relationship that Minky and I had was special. I guess that’s why I am so ripped up about her death. I didn’t have any warning…I have always known anytime she was sick, and this time there were no signs. Or if there were I missed them. I was too busy with the baby or crying in my beer that we moved. I was going back and forth between horrible Ohio and DC and visiting LA and Colorado and she was alone…maybe she thought I didn’t need her anymore. She could not have been more wrong. I miss her every day. I miss her silly scamper. I miss how she firmly believe the changing table was her bed. I miss how she yelled at me to feed her dinner and when I cooked it? She would sit by the oven and make the cutest noises. I miss her leaping through the air to catch bugs. I miss how she watched over the baby. I miss not ever showering or putting on make up or taking bath alone, she was my constant companion. She was my heart walking around on four little feet. I miss her love of photoshoots. I miss her snuggles and her soft bunny fur. I miss that I was known among my friends as Minky’s mom, and frequently they just called me Minky. Hence all my on line names. I miss that so many of them wanted to be Minky Wranglers when I was rich and famous and just get paid to hang out and take care of her all day while I was on set. I never lacked a kitty sitter, she was always clamored for. I am clinging so desperatly to the good things because the last bit was so dramatic and awful I can’t let it go. How could I have not known? I’ll never forgive myself.I tried so hard to save her but it was no good. Yeah, I’m the girl who gave her cat mouth to mouth and CPR. I failed her. I spoiled her her whole life, but those last 12 hours were about denial. We were moving to DC and so I didn’t feed her the night before as she had gotten sick on the way to Ohio. I yelled at her the night before she died for waking the baby. We were so busy packing that night she wanted to be brushed and I didn’t brush her thinking I would do it when we got to DC. She was so dissapointed I remember the look she gave me so well, it will haunt me forever. I’ve wanted to go back in time so much since we moved but if I had to pick one thing to do over it would be to go back and give her the best last night of her life and hold her as she passed. (If I couldn’t save her, obviously!)
As it was she died in the car right next to me. I looked over and just knew she was gone. I tried so hard to save her. I wish I could have, she was only ten. So young. I made her food her whole life, all organic and every vet that saw her said “I’ve never seen such a healthy cat!”
So, how is it fair that some kitties live to be 20 on junk food barely being paid attention to and my love passes at ten?
I miss her.
I will never forget you.

Bentonville, Ark. – Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has lost its bid to keep files regarding an internal probe of possible bribes paid to Mexican officials to aid real estate deals out of the hands of investors. The Delaware Supreme Court has upheld a 2013 ruling by a lower Delaware state court mandating that Wal-Mart provide the files to several investors.
In 2005, executives in Wal-Mart’s Mexican operation told senior management that at least $24 million in bribes had been paid to Mexican government officials in order to ease the process of building warehouses and stores. The payments were not disclosed in regulatory filings until 2011 and U.S. and Mexican officials are investigating whether the payments can be considered criminal.
Wal-Mart investors including the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the New York City Employees’ Retirement System and the Indiana Electrical Workers Pension Trust Fund are seeking access to the files. Wal-Mart had appealed the previous ruling to the state’s highest court.

They built this lighthouse here at Currituck Beach, North Carolina in 1875, two years after I died. All aboard my ship, The S/S Deutschland perished. Our ship had left Hamburg with its destination being Savannah, Georgia.
Our crew had heard stories about ships lost in the treacherous waters off of the Outer Banks. In the Northern Outer Banks ships travelling close to shore to avoid the swift and tumultuous Gulf Stream could easily get shipwrecked against the shoreline, as the miles of Currituck’s barrier island was relatively uninhabited, with nothing but dark coastline to confuse and disorient the passing sailors. In this state of vexation we continued our journey.
Our Captain, Jeremy Lands, had decided to take this chance to shorten our arrival time by two days. This was due to the news of the new colonists experiences were in all the newspapers and letters from friends and relatives who had gone to America were circulated far and wide in Germany. There was free land and opportunities available to those willing to take the risk. Many had very little to lose by the venture, but much to gain. The consistent encouraging personal letters coming back gave people confidence to take the chance.
The sailing from Hamburg had been smooth until we hit the Gulf Stream around Pea Island, North Carolina. Instead of continuing south-west towards Savannah we were sucked close to shore and the full force of the winds forced us in a northerly direction. We felt that if we were able to navigate further out to sea we could then return on a southern heading again towards Savannah. However, the effect of the Gulf Stream and a fierce westerly wind resulted in our ship being trapped and then crushed against those rocks you see beyond the lighthouse.
Two years later on December 1, 1875 the lighthouse would first glow as a beacon to passing ships.
by Becky Jennings
The mighty lighthouse stands secure,
Undaunted by the restless sea;
Ravaged by the changing tides
And buffeted by winds blown free.
Yet, it sheds its beacon straight and true,
Unfaltering in the bleakest night,
Guiding every passing ship
Uncertain of the course that’s right.
May we be diligent and true,
Dedicated to the right
And like the stalwart lighthouse stand
A beacon in the darkest night.

FOT Inaugurates its first student talent show “ස්වරප්රභා”
On January 20, 2023, the Faculty of Technology held its inaugural student talent show “ස්වරප්රභා”. The Vice Chancellor of KDU, Major General Milinda Peiris, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Parents, students, deans and directors from the other faculties, senior administrative staff, senior military officers, and academic staff attended the event.
The event featured a variety of student performances, including singing, dancing, and drama. There were 14 contestants from both intakes, representing all four-degree programmes. A panel of three invited artists who were experts in their respective fields judged the contestants. The winning act was chosen based on the judges’ evaluations and the audiences’ votes. The drama “කෝලාහලය” performed by the ICT students of Intake 39 emerged victorious at the inaugural talent show.
At the end of the show, the Vice Chancellor praised the students for their hard work and creativity in preparing and performing their acts and encouraged them to continue their efforts. He also took the opportunity to congratulate the Faculty on the successful launch of the student talent show.
The event was well-received by the audience who expressed admiration for the student’s talent and creativity. ස්වරප්රභා was a great success and has set the tone for future events.

Welcome back to the Musician’s Corner, where we discuss music and music-related apps and accessories. Last week, we compared some fantastic headphones
to really get the best quality sound from your iOS device. Today, we are going hands-on with Pioneer’s A3 XW-SMA3 wireless speaker system. Stay tuned next week for some more musician-specific apps and accessories. We’ve had fun with these headphones and speakers, but it is time to get back to the basics.
Pioneer recently launched a line of wireless speakers for mobile music devices that lets you have high-quality stereo sound without the price or the space consumption.
What makes these speakers stand out above others is the Pioneer Wireless Direct connectivity. Instead of using Bluetooth technology, users connect to the speaker through a localized wireless connection. That means, even if you are away from you house, you can still connect your device through Wi-Fi instead of having to eat up data on your cellular network.
To explain more, Pioneer offers the following information: "Pioneer's Wireless Direct technology allows the speaker to as as its own Wi-Fi wireless access point. Through Wireless Direct, no home network is required, giving users the freedom to use the speakers in rooms where a Wi-Fi network might not be available or outside where they can't connect to their home's Wi-Fi network. However, if the user can connect to their Wi-Fi network at home, they can use that Wi-Fi instead and not have to use the Wireless Direct feature. The XW-SMA3-K supports both Wireless Direct and Wi-Fi."
The A3 also features AirPlay Wireless streaming so you can access your computer’s music library as well as your mobile device.
The sleek, black box is approximately 13 x 7 x 5 and weighs a scant 7 pounds. It has a small antenna on the back that presumably makes connecting the Wi-Fi signal to your device work better.
The body is made from a sturdy matte finished plastic and it features a metal grate to protect the speakers. The control panel in front is made from high-gloss black plastic to give the whole package a classy look.
The A3 connects to your device through Wireless Direct, however you can also connect your iPhone directly by connecting it to the USB port on the back. The USB connector also charges your device while you are playing music. It comes with a AC power adapter that charges the speaker’s internal battery.
The included remote control lets you turn on the speaker, skip songs, increase or decrease the volume and pause or play your device’s music from anywhere in the room.
The setup of this system was terribly complicated for being a single unit speaker. You should see the setup guide. It was double-sided poster size. In reality, there are only a couple of steps, but if you’ve never used Direct Wireless before, the whole thing can be very intimidating. My suggestion: read the title of each section of instructions and only use the information related to the way you plan on setting up your device. There are instructions for how to set up the speaker in many different ways.
Once connected, you will be able to play music from your device the same way you would with a Bluetooth connected speaker. The A3 does not connect to your device for conference calls or FaceTime, however.
The control panel on the front of the speaker uses something called Capacitive Touch Control, which is both awesome and irritating at the same time. You barely have to brush your finger over one of the buttons and they will respond accordingly. This makes controlling the volume very easy. Unfortunately, the highly responsive nature of the control panel makes it so that you may accidentally turn the speaker off if you just dust the front of it lightly with your fingertips.
The volume of this mobile speaker is pretty powerful. If I were to guess the decibels, I’d say it gets about half as loud as my full home stereo system. At full volume, the speakers distort just a bit. But, it is hard to tell if there is any distortion since the speaker is so loud that you have to plug your ears when you are in the same room.
The remote control works from at least 20 feet away, but must have a direct line of sight with the speaker. You can’t bounce the remote’s ray off a wall or other objects.
There is a significant lag between what you do with the controls on your device and when it takes place on the speakers. For example, if you increase the volume on your iPhone, the speaker will take about a half of a second to respond. When playing a game on my iPhone, I noticed that the audio never matched the game. The speakers played the sound about a half of a second late. It is not unusual for AirPlay to lag like this.
The price of the A3 is reasonable when you take into consideration that it is a portable speaker, charging station for any USB connected device and an at-home comparable speaker. The multiple ways in which you can connect your device, added to the fact that the remote control lets you access your music from more than 20 feet away, makes it priced at about what you’d expect for something this nice. The quality of sound definitely represents the price point well.
You can buy the Pioneer A3 XW-SMA3-K for $399 from the company’s website
, or pick it up from an authorized dealer like Best Buy.
Thanks for reading Musician’s corner this week. Pioneer’s A3 speakers are a nice addition to any music lover’s home. It is worth the money and you won’t be disappointed if you invest in it. I’m looking for ideas for apps to review next week. If you are a musician and have a favorite app
, send me an email at [email protected]
I’m thinking about covering sheet music apps. Which ones are your favorites?


It was almost an identical situation two years ago for Starkville when they went to Vicksburg to take on the Warren Central Vikings.
The Yellow Jackets were a game ahead of everyone else in Class 6A, Region 2 with just two games to go. A win over the Vikings would have sealed things up. Just after SHS went back into the locker room from warmups to get ready for the game, the bottom fell out and a flood came to Vicksburg along with temperatures in the 40s.
By the end of the nightmarish game, the Jackets had lost 23-0 and made the next Friday a must-win. Though Starkville did eventually take home the division crown, that night hasn’t been lost on head coach Chris Jones, who knows how tough it is to play on the road at Warren Central.
For more on this year's meeting between the Jackets and the Vikings, see Friday's Starkville Daily News.

Pop Songs Drenched in Sadness
The New York based band School of Seven Bells’ upcoming record, SVIIB is an album that lacks musical originality, but what it is bereft of in unconventionality, it certainly makes up for by way of lyrics. This is one of the most heartbreaking albums as it is the band’s first record to be released after the untimely death of one of its members, Benjamin Curtis. First, SVIIB is by no means pivotal in the way of electronica or dream pop, but the sadness and fervor that the lead singer Alejandra Deheza sings with will undoubtedly leave the listener stirred.
Although, this is without a doubt an impassioned album, in terms of the actual instrumental creativity, it is lacking. One of the songs that stands out is “Music Takes Me,” and while it is a good tune, it sounds so much like music one has already heard before. The dreamy vocals drenched in echoic drums have been done so many times before by bands like College and Keep Shelly in Athens. School of Seven Bells creates an almost identical sound to these bands, but unlike these bands most of the music is rather uninspiring. It is a “once you’ve heard one song, you’ve heard them all” kind of situation.
Despite the fact that SVIIB is a recycled sound, the one great thing they have going for them is their lyrics. They are a metaphysical representation of the world – a world that these musicians and people alike inhabit – and the preciousness and mortality of human beings. For instance, the song “Open Your Eyes.” When listeners can separate themselves from the repetition of oohs and ahhs, one discovers the lyrics are stunning and agonizing. The listener understands some form of pain and fear when Deheza sings out, “Keeping your head turned around in the past / Flooding the present with the role that you cast for hurt as / The villain and you who came in last.”
While this record is not the greatest of 2016, it certainly is one of the most tragic albums. Deheza imbues her lyrics with the memories of her band mate and leaves a shadow of his presence on the lyrics and her efforts and courage are not lost on the listener.

TV Land previously announced that five co-stars from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" will be featured in a "Hot in Cleveland" episode during the second half of the fourth season. Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman will join "Hot in Cleveland" star Betty White, who plays Elka, and semi-regular Engel, who plays Elka's close friend, Mamie Sue.
Filmed in front of a live audience on stage 19 of CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Calif., the TV Land comedy stars sitcom veterans Bertinelli ("One Day at a Time"), Malick ("Just Shoot Me") and Leeves ("Frasier") as three best friends who move from Los Angeles to Cleveland. White, who also starred on NBC's "The Golden Girls,'' plays the cantankerous caretaker who goes with their Cleveland home.

The sensor and processor also enable working with the 121-area FAST autofocus system, which benefits both stills and video, and supports Eye and Face Detection AF modes to suit portraiture applications. the E-PL10 remains one of the most aesthetic camera designs out there, with its black leatherette wrap, stamped Olympus PEN logo, and svelte form factor. This physical design is also functional, with a large rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD that has a 180° tilting design for perfectly composed selfies. For easier control when making front-facing portraits, Touch Shutter lets you simply tap to focus and shoot and a variety of in-camera Art Filters can also be applied and refined to creatively enhance the look of your images. the E-PL10 is capable of recording high-resolution stills and UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps with sensitivities up to ISO 25600. Aptly named, FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) is able to home in on subjects using single-shot or continuous focusing methods, as well as AF tracking to benefit working with moving subjects. In addition, there is Face Detection/Eye Detection AF which prioritizes focus on a subject's face and eyes. The touchscreen enables the Touch Shutter function for simply tapping on the screen to both foci and release the shutter. Built-in pop-up flash provides additional illumination when working in low-light conditions. A hot-shoe can also accommodate an optional external flash. Included with the camera is the versatile M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens, which provides a 28-84mm equivalent focal length range in a compact, pancake style. Three aspherical elements have been incorporated into the lens' design to help reduce spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range and also contribute to high image sharpness and clarity. The lens is designated as MSC (Movie & Still Compatible), making it ideal for video recording due to its quick and near-silent focusing performance. the black M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R from Olympus is an 80-300mm equivalent telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Its modest maximum aperture helps to realize a compact and lightweight form factor while an advanced optical design, which uses extra-low dispersion and high refractive index glass, controls a variety of aberrations for notable sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. One extra-low dispersion glass element controls color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy throughout the zoom range.

Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount have been spearheading Chelsea’s youth revolution, on the pitch and in the headlines (for better or worse), but this past weekend, a third youngster joined the spotlight. Fikayo Tomori, with credentials just as strong as those two, announced himself to the world with a wonderstrike and a dynamic, assured performance overall at center back.
For head coach Frank Lampard, this was surely not a surprise, having already coached Tomori last season at Derby County (just like Mason Mount). Confidence was certainly not an issue for Tomori either, especially after winning Derby’s Player of the Season honors. But being able to represent his boyhood club, the club he’s called home since age 7, is another thing entirely. For him, and all the other Academy kids, this season is already a dream come true.
“It is a dream come true, really. Me, Mason and Tammy have been here since we were seven years old and to come through the ranks, all the players that have come before us, in the same team as us.
“For us to be in this position now we just want to make the most of it and we are just thankful that we are getting our chance as well. We’re going to take it.”
A little over a month into the youth revolution, Chelsea’s results have been rather mixed. But Saturday’s 5-2 win could be the start of something truly exciting. The schedule ahead is not exactly easy, especially the next two games, including Valencia tonight and Liverpool this weekend, and Tomori knows that Chelsea will need to play at least as well as against Wolves.
“Obviously it isn’t my job to score goals but for Tammy and Mason it is and they have been doing that and playing well at the same time.
“Me chipping in on Saturday, it is always nice to score and more importantly to get the win, we really needed it as a team and hopefully we can kick on, put that same performance in, or a better one, against Valencia [in the Champions League].”
It remains to be seen if the reintroduction of the Conte-esque 3-4-3 (though not nearly as wing-focused) in the last game was a one-off or the new go-to formation for Lampard, but for many, including most players, it was a return of something familiar and something proven — either while playing under the aforementioned Conte, or while playing in the youth teams where current assistants Jody Morris and Joe Edwards often utilized that tactical setup as well.
Tomori was clearly comfortable on the left side of the three-man back line, though as he says, the tactics are only as good as the players’ execution.
“I think all of us have played in a three. We’re all comfortable with it and I think we all wanted to make it work.
“The most important thing today was getting the three points, that is what we wanted to do. The manager made it clear that it is not really the system, it is about how we implement it. Playing well, together, allowing us to be free so we just tried to do that as much as possible.”
-Fikayo Tomori; Source: London Evening Standard
Whether in a three, or a four, or any other number, Tomori will be looking to make it three starts in a row for Chelsea, as he continues to build a strong future on his Chelsea dream.

text: In 1234, four mendicant friars arrived in the Byzantine city of Nicaea to discuss the possibility of a union between the Greek and Roman Churches. The controversy over the specific differences in both doctrine and practice had taken on a new urgency in the thirteenth century. The Fourth Crusade in 1204 placed the Byzantine capital of Constantinople under Latin control, creating an atmosphere of nearly continuous conflict, and yet the two sides agreed to meet in hopes of a peaceful settlement. Presented in translation for the first time, the report of those friars describing the discussions, or disputatio, of 1234 illuminates the full spectrum of motivations and implications surrounding the prospect of church union in the years following the Fourth Crusade. The letters exchanged by Pope Gregory IX and Patriarch Germanos II demonstrate the terms under which both sides entered the negotiations with a notable degree of optimism. Brought together, these sources represent the largest collection of material describing any dialogue between the churches in the thirteenth century. Translation and analysis of these sources call into question the long-held view that attempts to end the schism of the churches were perpetually doomed to fail.

India has produced one of the best Test performances on Australian soil to clinch the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
Set 328 for victory by Australia late on day four, India came to the party with an emphatic three-wicket victory in the final few overs of the Test, led by young guns Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant.
It’s a remarkable turn of events given India were bundled out for just 36 in the opening Test of the summer, heading to the MCG colosseum trailing 1-0.

In cricket-crazy India, The Times of India dubbed the performance and the defeat — the hosts cruised to an eight-wicket victory on just the third day — the “massacre in Adelaide”.
The Indian Express wondered if the “summer of 36” was “Indian cricket’s lowest point”, adding tongue-in-cheek that the players had at least “buried the ghost” of 1974, when the previous record low of 42 was set.
India was expected to fall apart after Adelaide’s disaster with captain Virat Kohli departing, while fast bowler Mohammed Shami was ruled out due to a broken arm suffered in the batting collapse.
By the end of the summer, India had their B team in action, pulling off one of the greatest victories on away soil at a ground Australia simply does not lose at.
Winning in Melbourne and then drawing in Sydney gave India the momentum they needed heading into the challenge of the Gabba.
It didn’t get any easier when Ravi Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah were ruled out ahead of the contest.
It left India with a bowling group with just four Test matches of experience.
In the end it didn’t matter, with Australia bowled out twice, as India produced a memorable victory and celebrated emphatically with a number of laps around the ground.
“They’ve been cool, calm and collective. That’s the aurora Rahane has given this team since the first Test,” Michael Hussey said on Fox Cricket during an action-packed final session.
Journalist Bharat Sundaresan labelled the victory as “the greatest win in Indian Test history” on SEN Test Cricket, while Harbhajan Singh also shared his excitement on social media.
Fox Cricket's Kerry O’Keeffe said: “This is the most remarkable comeback I’ve seen. I’m 71 years of age and I’ve never seen a team get off the floor like this team has after Adelaide.”
“No longer the Gabbatoir. This is history,” Harsha Bhogle tweeted.

In the first morning rush hour since Mayor Eric Adams announced a sweeping plan on Friday to eliminate homeless sheltering in New York City’s subways, the public transit system was a little different.
Judith Williams, who has lived in and around the Tube for years, said she has noticed fewer people sleeping on trains over the past two days.
“Maybe they’re getting the message,” she said at a Brooklyn train station on Tuesday.
At Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan, outreach workers in orange vests, carrying clipboards, fanned out looking for homeless people to help. Police approached two men, one sleeping at the foot of a staircase, the other lying on the ground, and told them they had to move.
Manuel de Jesús Delgado and some of the other regulars sheltering inside the Jamaica-Van Wyck station in Queens glanced at the group of police officers patrolling the platform and walked towards a escalator.
“What am I supposed to do when there’s four standing there with guns and badges?” Mr. de Jesús, 72, asked in Spanish. “We can’t stay here.
Inside the station, Al Walker, 61, who was on his way to work, said he was “shocked” that the platform, usually packed with homeless people, was empty except for passengers boarding and got off the trains. “The mayor really put them on their toes,” he said.
But a sprawling metro system with 472 stations and thousands of carriages in service is difficult to transform overnight, especially when people who have sheltered in the system, sometimes for years, feel they have no more appealing alternative on a February morning. .
Ms Williams said that although the police forced her to get up from the subway platform floor during the night, they agreed to her sleeping on a bench next to a shopping trolley full of her belongings, which she has learned to do over the years.
Outreach workers at Penn Station offered homeless people the usual limited choices, usually a bed in a group shelter. And they were getting the usual no-thanks. Many homeless people refuse to stay in shelters because they find them unsafe or because they have extensive rules and curfews.
A man knocked down by the officers climbed onto the platform. Another walked down a hallway in the commuter rail portion of the terminal and lay down again.
And Mr. de Jesús and his friends from Jamaica got no further than the entrance to the top of the escalators leading to the station, where they sat next to their belongings in the freezing drizzle.
Yet in other parts of the system, nothing had changed. On a Downtown 2 train at the 149th Street station in the Bronx, a sleeping man had an entire carriage to himself as commuters piled into the next two carriages to get away from a strong smell . Another car had three people sleeping in it.
New York State Subway
At 110th Street in Manhattan, a man smoked crack on the platform in full view of two officers about 10 feet away.
On a train from Downtown 3 to Midtown Manhattan at 9 a.m., a man lay across four seats with a granny cart by his side, his legs resting in the lap of a woman in a black parka whose the body was draped over his.
Opposite them, Johnny Pruitt, on his way to work in a gymnasium, said he was not surprised, given that the new era had only been announced four days before.
“It would be nice if they had a place to put them,” said Mr. Pruitt, 39, who lives in Astoria, Queens.
“At the end of the day, you want a clean, safe driving experience, but you don’t want that at the expense of kicking those people, who are real people, onto the pavement.”
On Friday, Mr. Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul announced that more than 1,000 people sheltering in the nation’s largest subway system would be forced to leave. The move follows a rise in underground violent crime, including several high-profile attacks linked to homeless people.
Police and mental health workers would be deployed in the system. The police expelled people who used the trains for anything other than transportation; social workers would connect them with social services and housing, the mayor and governor said.
“No more doing what you want,” Mr. Adams said. “Those days are over.”
A spate of subway attacks over the holiday weekend, which saw at least eight violent incidents, only one of which involved an attacker who appeared to be homeless, underscored the difficulty of stamping out random violence in the system.
At a Tuesday monthly committee meeting of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the subways, the head of the police department’s transit office, Chief Jason Wilcox, said that overnight, more two dozen agents from the transit office had escorted teams from the city’s health and homeless services departments.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Adams said six teams of outreach workers were deployed on Monday and the city plans to have 30 teams. So far, Adams added, teams have interacted with around 100 apparently homeless people on the subway.
Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said officers were focusing on high priority stations and train lines where ridership or reported crime has increased.
Mr Wilcox added that police officials expected to complement these efforts with stricter enforcement of the Tube’s code of conduct, which prohibits staying in a station for more than an hour and occupying more than a seat on a train or platform.
“We know that enforcing rules and regulations is really not the long-term solution to finding them a home, and we understand that,” Chief Wilcox said of homelessness in the transportation system. in common. “But we are also deeply committed to enforcing order.”
Officials said the focus would first be on end-of-line stations, where homeless people often congregate, and at the Jamaica Center station at the end of the E line, outreach workers said on Tuesday. that there were far fewer than usual.
At Penn Station, however, some of the law enforcement officers issued a skeptical note and said they were just moving homeless people from place to place.
“For us, it’s frustrating,” said an officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because she’s not supposed to speak to the media. “We just play chess with them.”
She added: “There really isn’t an answer right now until the city can produce a suitable alternative. It’s just another bandage on an open wound.
At the top of the stairs from where the officers were patrolling, on the platform of trains 2 and 3, Jenny Hammond was sitting smoking a cigarette, which is prohibited in the system.
When asked if she had been approached by outreach workers, she said she had been repeatedly. “But the only thing they will offer you is shelter and I will absolutely not go,” she added.
As the timing was right, four workers from the Bowery Residents’ Committee, a social service organization the city hires to do subway outreach, approached. “Your name is Jenny, isn’t it?” we asked.
Social workers offered Ms Hammond a room in a shelter. She refused.
They asked her what she needed. She said she lost her ID card.
Social workers offered to refer her to a soup kitchen at a subway station where she could get a new ID. Ms Hammond said the edema in her legs made it too difficult to walk.
An outreach worker said he might be able to secure a bed for Ms Hammond in a kind of low-barrier shelter called a safe haven, where there is no curfew and where she would only have only one roommate. Mrs. Hammond said no, because they wouldn’t let her bring liquor.
The outreach team offered to get a walker from Ms Hammond from their office inside Penn Station, so she could walk to the soup kitchen to get her new ID.
After much ado, she agreed. Outreach workers said they could meet her in an hour with the walker and asked where she would be. Outside a liquor store downstairs from the station, she said. The outreach team helped her up and slowly and carefully led her up the stairs.

Searching for bluetooth GPS
We made a trip over Michigan last week, and Dan was using iTec bluetooth GPS. Very nice toy for navigation. I could not resist and attempted to pair it with; it worked at first try (and I did not even had to enter password; security apparently is not big concern for GPSes).
Now, I'd like something like that, but my zaurus is not bluetooth-capable *yet*. So I'd prefer something that can display the values -- to be used as fallback. There's Billionton BTGPS Bluetooth GPS Receiver (some docs here)
, that apparently can be bought close to me (and pretty cheap). Unfortunately, very little info is available on it. It seems to have some kind of LCD, and probably can display basic information on it, but I'm not 100% sure. It also may be piece of crappy hardware with poor reception... Anybody ever seen/used that?


After concluding the medical tests, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was taken back to Dhaka Old Central Jail from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) today.
Her tests were completed around 1:30pm, Syrul Kabir Khan, a staff of BNP’s media wing, told The Daily Star.
Khaleda, who was sentenced to five years imprisonment in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case on February 8, was brought out from old central jail on Nazimuddin Road in Dhaka around 11:15am.
After she reached the hospital, she was taken to cabin No. 512 of the Cabin Block.
Meanwhile, Sharmila, the widow of Khaleda’s younger son Arafat Rahman Koko, and her two daughters -- Zafiya Rahman and Zahiya Rahman -- went to the BSMMU and met Khaleda briefly, Syrul Kabir Khan said.
The security measure surrounding the BSMMU was beefed up for Khaleda’s arrival.
Earlier, a four-member medical board formed for the treatment of the BNP chief examined her at old central jail on April 1.
After the examination, the team said Khaleda has been suffering from some old as well as several newly developed health conditions, but none of them are serious.
The team spoke with Khaleda, 73, and observed her health condition in presence of Dhaka's Civil Surgeon Ehsanul Karim.
Earlier, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's scheduled meeting with Khaleda on March 29 was postponed as she fell ill in jail.
Yesterday, after meeting with Khaleda in jail, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir claimed that Khaleda was having difficulties in walking and she had some neurological problems that needed immediate treatment.
He also demanded the jail authorities to allow Khaleda’s personal physicians to see her immediately because “she is really ill”.
At another event yesterday at Jatiya Press Club, Moudud Ahmed, a member of BNP standing committee, said the government would be responsible if Khaleda's health deteriorated in jail.

Among the unique health issues that impact women include pregnancy, menopause, and abnormalities of the female organs. Receiving professional, timely, and routine prenatal care can aid in the health of a woman's pregnancy. Numerous bone density, breast cancer, and cervical cancer screenings are also recommended. Pregnancy problems are health difficulties that emerge while pregnant. Nutrition and food, such as a protein-rich vegetarian diet and calcium-rich foods, are critical during pregnancy. The 'fertile window' of the menstrual cycle, or the period surrounding ovulation, is the best time to try to conceive.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Daily Yonder reached out to people who were involved in designing the program described in this commentary. A response is included at the bottom of this article.
The recent news that once again the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee would not have any leadership roles focused on rural voters reinforced the sad reality that despite all the talk about competing for votes in the hinterlands, it’s all just talk – none of the Democratic party committees have invested a dime in rural outreach this election cycle.
Given the strong headwinds of gerrymandered districts and Republican-passed voter suppression laws which will buffet Democrats in 2022 and beyond, this lack of investment in rural electoral infrastructure is appalling, considering the challenges Democrats face in flipping Senate seats in heavily rural states like North Carolina and Wisconsin and defending them in New Hampshire and Georgia along with governor’s offices in Maine and Kansas.
Enter Movement Labs, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm with a pricey plan to “create tech-forward ‘county-party-in-a-box’ packages suited to specific rural county contexts,” according to a strategy memo obtained by the Daily Yonder. The initiative, which, as of earlier this summer, had already secured $1 million of a $3.7 million budget for 2022, aims to raise the Democratic vote share across 250 counties by 3%. The timeline calls for an initial pilot program launch in several counties this summer and fall with a national roll out in March 2022.
This rural party-building project raises several questions related to the use of funds as well as the backgrounds of some of the confirmed members of the Program Design Committee who are going to make sure it is accountable to the rural communities and organizers it hopes to serve.
The lion’s share of the budget, $2.5 million, goes to “county leadership team stipends” of $10,000 each for the 250 teams, with another top-heavy $600,000 for “overhead and management.” Then there is the $400,000 for “mass SMS support” which will buy 20 million texts at 2 cents a pop. Is texting a smart strategy considering that cellular connections in 81% of small counties were below the FCC’s minimum standard? There is also the question of spam texts. If I receive a text that is not from a family member or friend, I delete it because otherwise my phone would overfill with texts from purveyors of porn to solicitations for money from every candidate and group under the sun.
Barbara Leach, an Iowa native and founder of the communications nonprofit MyRuralAmerica, notes that being “personal matters. Texting isn’t personal and does not buy either respect or friendship. Both are necessary if we are to be victorious in rural America.”
Leach cited data from the Pew Research Center that found 70-75% of rural adults get all or part of their news from Facebook, “so we need to get serious about using it as a priority communications tool,” she said. “Right now, it is MyRuralAmerica’s number one priority.”
The Movement Labs plan does mention helping local leaders create Facebook pages and events, but there’s nothing about the role of the platform in shaping local political debate. The plan allocates only $200,000 to digital media, and that amount also has to pay for ad buys and phones. It’s the smallest line item in the entire draft budget.
Several of the Program Design Committee members also raise eyebrows. Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party chair Ken Martin has seen two congressional seats flip to the Republicans in 2018 and another in 2020 while the GOP continues to make gains in greater Minnesota at the state legislative level under his watch. Tina Podlodowski, chair of the Washington State Democratic Party, hails from the hamlet of Seattle, population 724,000.
And then there is Mike Lux of the D.C. firm Democracy Partners. Back on January 26, 2010, I attended a much-ballyhooed confab called by Lux at his office in Washington, D.C., where he pledged to seek financial support from the Democratic donor community for a host of organizations engaged in rural electoral work. Some 30 plus rural strategists were present in person with another 30 or so joining via speakerphone from around the country. This was the start of a midterm election that would claim the scalps of dozens of rural lawmakers in Congress and in state capitals and wound up making the Blue Dogs the endangered species they are today. Lux promised to write an extensive report that he would distribute to the meeting participants. I never received a copy of the report, nor did others I know who were at the meeting. None of us heard of him raising funds for the effort, either. Lux has written about the importance of rural voters, but his resume does not include work on outreach to rural or small-town voters.
Robin Johnson questions why not many rural state legislators (save for one from Texas) are being invited to help shape the Movement Labs project. Johnson, who teaches political science part time at Monmouth College in Illinois, co-authored an authoritative 2017 report documenting the frustrations of more than 70 state lawmakers, many the last in their chambers from the rural parts of their states. “I won’t speak for them, but texting certainly wasn’t mentioned as an effective way to communicate with voters among rural legislators I spoke with,” Johnson says, adding “many use billboards, yard signs, radio and newspaper ads in addition to mail and TV. Political operatives are trained to focus only on the latter along with digital and apply this to rural districts as part of a cookie-cutter approach to all campaigns. Many candidates simply ignore them and invest in what they know works best for them locally.”
Perusing the bios of the team at Movement Labs, none of the staff seems to be from rural places. Lots of Yale and Amherst, no land grants. There is a troubling sense that rural constituencies are viewed through a lens of commodification by these denizens of the consultantocracy comfortably ensconced in the nation’s capital. (Movement Labs declined to be interviewed about their rural party-building project.)
Says Leach, “If the architects of a rural strategy are distanced socially and economically, the strategy likely limps forward with both hands tied behind its back. To be effective, rural strategies need to be crafted by people with successful rural history organizing experiences, and that usually means they have lived there or worked there successfully.”
Matt L. Barron is a rural strategist and runs MLB Research Associates.
Lauren Gepford is the interim director of the program in rural party building at Movement Labs. The Daily Yonder described some of the key points in Matt Barron’s commentary. This is her response:
“I’m excited that we’ve built an initial design committee of Party leaders, rural experts and on-the-ground rural organizers, and others with deep experience in progressive causes. We’re led by Secky Fascione of Democracy Alliance, Yoni Landau of Movement Labs, and George Goehl, previous Executive Director for People’s Action, along with several State Party Chairs, Rural Caucus Chairs, and Rural County Party Chairs. (the full list is below). I’m also continuing to meet and add more folks to the advisory committee and am committed to ensuring that those who the program is intended to serve, rural constituents and rural organizers, are deeply involved with the program design and leading the program. The pilot program local teams we work with this fall will act as advisors too, and they will all be on-the-ground local rural organizers.
“We’re not making the claim that texting is the most effective strategy, but it is definitely one strategy that has shown to have a positive impact in past experiments and campaigns, and I have heard from local county parties that they could help with texting. Our past work with Contest Every Race has taught us that reaching people via text can significantly increase how many Democrats run for office in previously uncontested races that had only Republicans running, so we’ll be providing a texting program for the local teams to customize and use for their local organizing efforts. Overall though, we’re going to be utilizing a variety of outreach methods in the pilot program, from texting to tele-townhalls to state fair booths and community service and social media, and will be testing the efficacy of the various methods and huddling with our local teams to learn together about what strategies work and are helpful in different local rural contexts.”
Gepford also sent the following roster of project advisers:
1. Ken Martin – President, Association of State Democratic Committees; Chair, MN Democratic Party
2. Brad Martin – President, Association of State Democratic Executive Directors; ED, OR Democratic Party
3. Lavora Barnes – Chair, MI Democratic Party
4. Ben Wikler – Chair, WI Democratic Party
5. Tina Podlodowski – Chair, WA Democratic Party
6. Tom Sullivan – former County Party Chair, Author
7. Mary Gonzalez – Rural TX State Rep, Chair of TX Mexican American Caucus
8. Kelly Dietrich & Jocelyn Hunt – National Democratic Training Committee
9. Erik Richardson – Chair, MO Democratic Party Rural Caucus
10. Nate Timm – Chair, WI Democratic Party Rural Caucus
11. Ben Meers – ED, KS Democratic Party
12. Tara Logan – Secretary, MO Democratic Party Rural Caucus; former Rural Director, MO Democratic Party
13. Bill Crawford – Multi-County Coordinator, WI Rural Counties
Progressive & Rural Leadership:
1. Sarah Jaynes – Rural Democracy Initiative
2. Wanda Mosely – Field Director, Black Voters Matter
3. Isaac Wright – Rural Voter Institute
4. Stephen Smith & Katey Laurer – West Virginia Can’t Wait
5. Heather Booth & Mike Lux – Democracy Partners
Experimental and Program Design:
1. Pete Backof – Camden Strategy
2. Aaron Strauss – OpenLabs, former Analyst Institute Executive Director
Mike Lux responds:
“My view is that we in the Democratic Party and progressive movement are in a such a deep hole on rural organizing that we need a wide range of different kinds of organizing projects in the space. This project is one worthy experiment but certainly not the only thing we need to be doing.”
Lux also said he doesn’t remember the 2010 meeting that Barron refers to. “I have been an advocate of the party and progressive movement doing more to organize and message in rural America ever since I came to D.C. in 1992, and have been in scores of meetings on the topic but don’t remember anything about the meeting Matt is referencing in 2010.”


Many Americans are not prepared for retirement.
In fact, "nearly half of families have no retirement account savings at all," the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) reported.
Just how much has the average American family saved up? According to the EPI, the mean retirement savings of all families is $95,776.
But that number doesn't tell the whole story. Since so many families have zero savings and since super-savers can pull up the average, the median savings, or those at the 50th percentile, may be a better gauge. The median for all families in the U.S. is just $5,000, and the median for families with some savings is $60,000.

Willie Nelson Auditions for ‘The Hobbit 2′ – Just in Time for His Birthday [VIDEO]
The iconic Willie Nelson is either well into or gearing up for his 80th birthday (some say it's today, April 29, but the state of Texas and its fancy paperwork says it's tomorrow) -- and he's recorded a special audition reel for Peter Jackson just in time for the occasion.
In the video (shared by the good people at Team Coco), the legendary singer gives Sir Ian McKellen a run for his money by auditioning for the role of Gandalf the Great.
"Hey, Peter Jackson. My name's Willie Nelson, and I want to audition for the role of Ganda and the wizard in that upcoming movie you've got coming up called 'The Hobbit,'" he tells the camera.
He then proceeds to geek out at dragons, throw shade at balrogs and puff on some Middle Earth bud, just as you'd expect.
Having seen this, we're kinda bummed he didn't audition for the first 'Hobbit' film. Pretty sure Willie's appearance would have made the nearly 3-hour flick a lot more enjoyable.


I use one of them and another controller, and had the same problem. The other controller shared the same driver, and only one would work. Think it is just bad drivers.I tried with other controllers and they work together.
I have one of these controllers that I am trying to use as a trigger for leap motion when I connect it via Bluetooth it thinks it is a keyboard, when I set up a joystick it only recognizes the two front buttons but when I try and set it up in driver4vr nothing registers. Any help would be great
me too , same problem ! the controller work in wiondows , but in Drive4vr assign but , not mapping anything. I was still unlucky to buy this shit of control that shows in the tutorials, but it doesn’t work. now I also don’t know how to solve.

When Remy Ma dissed Nicki Minaj on "Shether," one of the most explosive allegations she made involved Hot 97's Ebro Darden. According to Remy, Nicki Minaj cheated on then-boyfriend Safaree Samuels with the popular radio host. "Coke head, you cheated on your man with Ebro/I might leak the footage of you sniffin' them ski slopes," Remy raps. Darden has officially denied those claims.
"Remy knows she's lying... matter of fact the dude that told her that bullsh*t, she knows is a nerd!," he tweeted. "These nerd as dudes always worried."
Remy's husband, Papoose, blasted Darden for lying. "You just texted me happy as hell that Remy said it ...now she lying? Sit down bruh," he tweeted, implying that Darden agreed with the diss.
To that, Darden responded by asking Remy to appear on his morning show.
During that show, Ebro explained that his relationship with Nicki MInaj is strictly professional. “I met her through DJ Kay Slay, and I was single at the time and she been with Safaree," he said, per Vibe. He added that they met out for drinks multiple times, but kept it professional.

Could iPhone 15 Pro become the go-to gaming console? AMD CEO shares her thoughts
Speaking to the Verge, AMD CEO Lisa Su shared her thoughts on whether the iPhone 15 could replace gaming PCs and consoles, the importance of AI, and more.
Apple is known for making premium products that offer the very best in technology to consumers. However, there is one sector where the Cupertino-based tech giant has been lagging behind for years - gaming. While Apple's MacBooks, iMacs, and even iPhones are some of the most powerful devices in the market, none of them are marketed as gaming devices, nor are they used as that. However, that all changed this year with Apple shifting its focus on gaming with its latest devices, especially the iPhone 15 Pro models.
At its Wonderlust event, Apple announced that the A17 Pro chip would enable “true-to-life gaming”, and it would be bringing console titles such as Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and more to the iPhone 15 Pro models. But could the iPhone replace gaming PCs and consoles and become the best gaming console? The CEO of chipmaker AMD isn't too sure about that.
AMD CEO on: iPhone 15's gaming prowess
Apple says that the iPhone 15 Pro brings true-to-life gaming to the palm of users' hands with console titles. It gets hardware-accelerated ray-tracing which the company claims is 4 times faster than software-based ray-tracing. When asked about whether iPhone 15 could become the go-to console for gamers, Su told the Verge, “I don't know about that”.
“We're gonna continue to push the envelope on the highest performing PCs and consoles' chips, and I think we're gonna be pretty good,” she further said.
Could a potential shift to cloud gaming on devices like the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max replace gaming PCs? Su told the Verge, “I see PC gaming strong, I see console gaming strong, and I see console gaming also having legs. They all need similar types of technology but they obviously use it in different ways.”
With the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in nearly every sector, it is “10x, 100x more” important than the internet, phones, or even PCs, according to the AMD CEO, although it is expected to be a cycle that lasts more than 10 years.
“Generative AI, you know, is kind of the killer app for high-performance computing”, Su said.

The Culture and Politics of Radical Transformation
Author: Tom Moylan
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Category: Literary Criticism
A dream of a better world is a powerful human force that inspires activists, artists, and citizens alike. In this book Tom Moylan – one of the pioneering scholars of contemporary utopian studies – explores the utopian process in its individual and collective trajectory from dream to realization. Drawing on theorists such as Fredric Jameson, Donna Haraway and Alain Badiou and science fiction writers such as Kim Stanley Robinson and China Miéville, Becoming Utopian develops its argument for sociopolitical action through studies that range from liberation theology, ecological activism, and radical pedagogy to the radical movements of 1968. Throughout, Moylan speaks to the urgent need to confront and transform the global environmental, economic, political and cultural crises of our time.
Since the publication of Thomas More's genre-defining work Utopia in 1516, the field of utopian literature has evolved into an ever-expanding domain. This Companion presents an extensive historical survey of the development of utopianism, from the publication of Utopia to today's dark and despairing tendency towards dystopian pessimism, epitomised by works such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Chapters address the difficult definition of the concept of utopia, and consider its relation to science fiction and other literary genres. The volume takes an innovative approach to the major themes predominating within the utopian and dystopian literary tradition, including feminism, romance and ecology, and explores in detail the vexed question of the purportedly 'western' nature of the concept of utopia. The reader is provided with a balanced overview of the evolution and current state of a long-standing, rich tradition of historical, political and literary scholarship.

One of the things that immediately strikes travelers to Rwanda is how clean the country is. In all the places I’ve been, including the U.S., litter on the ground is a serious issue. You see it almost everywhere, blowing in the wind, lining gutters, hanging where it’s been caught on fences, floating in waterways. What would happen if every single person, every day, no matter where they live, would think about what they use and find ways to recycle, reduce or reuse it? What would happen if for those few things that must be thrown away, every single person would dispose of them properly? And for those things that might still end up on the landscape, what would happen if every single person would bend down and pick up at least two pieces of trash every day?
In the U.S. alone, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates every person generates about 4.5 pounds of trash per day. That’s 230 million tons of trash in the U.S. every year. Only about one-fourth of it is recycled or reused and most of the rest goes into landfills or is incinerated. But what happens to the trash that never makes it into the landfill or incinerator? It’s fair to say that it lays on the land until it blows away . . . but it’s got to end up somewhere eventually when the wind stops blowing. So where does it all go? Many people have heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area of floating debris of over 7 million square miles. According to National Geographic, the garbage patch is “so far from any country’s coastline, no nation will take responsibility or provide the funding to clean it up.” Lack of responsibility seems to be the reason for the inordinate amounts of garbage that collect everywhere on our planet. What if everyone decided it’s their own responsibility to keep our world clean?
Sadly, I’m guessing that it won’t happen voluntarily. To change the norms that allow people to blithely discard their trash, there must be a combination of incentive, enforcement, and education. What makes Rwanda so clean? The practice of umuganda has changed the norms in this small country. Once a month, on the third Saturday, everyone in the country stops what they are doing for three hours and commits to community service actions, most frequently removing any debris that has collected in public view. The amazing thing to me is that so little appears to collect in between Umuganda Saturdays. When you get used to seeing things clean, it goes a long way toward encouraging you to keep it that way. It also helps that you won’t find a plastic bag anywhere in the country. Plastic bags are not used anywhere in the entire country or even allowed to enter the country. Travelers are required to dispose of any plastic bags before exiting the airport. It’s a positive step that I’m happy to report is now occurring in many U.S. cities.
I’d like to challenge everyone who reads this to commit him or her self to encourage community action in action. If you can’t initiate an Umuganda approach on a large scale, start small. Pledge to pick up two pieces of litter on the landscape every day and encourage others to do the same. In fact, while you’re at it, decide that you’re never going to walk past a piece of litter again. If you see it, pick it up and dispose of it appropriately. Jane Goodall says that everything you do makes a difference one way or another and only you can decide what you want that difference to be. I agree wholeheartedly. Individually, we may not be able to make what feels like significant change, but we can all be responsible for the decisions we make every day.
– Lisa Brochu
One thought on “Community Action in Action”
We can’t all be world travelers, so I appreciate you guys using your opportunities to be our “eyes and ears,” and to expand our vision with stories about how things are done in other places.
