Their Anti-Racism Marches Were Twisted in a $4 Million GOP Attack Ad Campaign. Now, They Just Want to Get Out the Vote
Meet the Young Leaders of Staten Island, a group that got embroiled in the Malliotakis-Rose House battle and is now forging a role in the 2021 municipal elections.
Shortly after the Rev. Al Sharpton left a May anti-racism march on Staten Island, several frustrated young Black demonstrators joined together to block traffic at the site of Eric Garner’s 2014 death at the hands of police.
Some of those involved didn’t know each other then. But they bonded that day to form the Young Leaders of Staten Island –– and soon began organizing marches throughout the summer that drew thousands to protest police brutality.
The group quickly got a lesson in politics: Footage of one peaceful march — interspersed with doctored images of police cars ablaze — became the centerpiece of an attack ad touting Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis and trashing Rep. Max Rose in her successful bid to oust the freshman Democrat from the Staten Island’s House seat.
Now, the Young Leaders of Staten Island are determined to play a key political role — on their own terms.
Their aim: to increase voter participation among the North Shore’s Black and brown residents to rival that of the borough’s mostly white South Shore, which reliably votes Republican — and went for Malliotakis and President Donald Trump Nov. 3.
“Our goal right now is to create a different culture around voting,” said Michael Animodi, a founding member of the Young Leaders. “The South Shore always comes out and votes, whether it’s local elections or main elections. Their numbers prove that.”
Changing ‘Minds and Hearts’
The Young Leaders launched a GoFundMe, applied for a social justice grant to fortify their grassroots efforts and registered around 100 residents through “burger and ballots” events in borough neighborhoods, including Mariners Harbor and Park Hill.
Now the group wants to host candidate forums as the city prepares for elections next year to usher in a new mayor, comptroller, borough presidents and almost an entirely fresh City Council.
“After we did our marches, we wanted to get down to legislation and getting the power into the people’s hands — meaning they have to vote,” said Xavier Charles, 21, a founding member. “We chose those specific locations because white people vote all the time. I can’t tell you how many people have told me they don’t believe in voting.”
While 48,000 absentee ballots have yet to be fully counted — the majority cast by Democrats — election-night results support what Charles and his fellow Leaders suspect.
In the borough’s southernmost Assembly district, 55.72% of adult residents voted in-person through Election Day, compared to 44.58% in the northernmost district.
In 2017’s Council races, 21.4% of South Shore adults came out to vote for Council, compared to 14.33% on the North Shore.
“In the North Shore, they believe the voting system doesn’t work, they believe it’s not for them,” said Animodi. “So our job, it’s a tough one. We really have to change the minds and hearts of a lot of people in this community.”
It Started On 202 Bay St.
The group traces its roots to the Bay Street storefront where Garner died on July 19, 2014, after then-Officer Daniel Pantaleo used a banned chokehold while trying to subdue him during an arrest for allegedly peddling untaxed cigarettes.
When Sharpton left the May demonstration, organized in the wake of the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis cops, some demonstrators decided to continue on after the march to the 120th Precinct.
They returned to the street where Garner died and launched an impromptu sit-in, blocking buses and cars on Bay Street.
“I have a 2-year-old daughter and she has to grow up on this racist island,” said Shea Clarke, a founding member of the Young Leaders. “I was very mad that day, we said, ‘This is Staten Island, this is our home, so we’re going to protest here.’ We went to 202 Bay St. and we just sat.”
They then marched to the foot of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, where they had a tense standoff with NYPD officers, including Staten Island Borough Commander Asst. Chief Kenneth Corey, and state troopers. They spoke to the officers about past instances of police brutality.
Ranti Ogunleye, director of a nonprofit and now a Democratic candidate for City Council in the North Shore, served as an early mentor to the group. After the standoff, he offered up his home to allow the group to plan their next steps.
Falsely Assailed as ‘Cop Haters’
Less than a week later, Rose unexpectedly showed up at the front of a march the Young Leaders helped organize. One of the group’s founding members, Isaiah Buffong, asked Rose to move further back into the crowd to allow the group to lead, as City Limits recently recounted.
Rose complied. His participation was quickly capitalized on by Malliotakis, who criticized her rival repeatedly for not walking away amid anti-police chants.
One Republican political action committee, the Congressional Leadership Fund, poured in at least $4 million into televising ads focused on Rose attending the march.
One of the spots showed some of the Young Leaders of Staten Island and footage of their June 3 march in New Dorp, spliced with violent scenes, while a narrator spoke of “criminals hailed as freedom fighters.”
“He marched there with cop-haters,” the narrator said, referring to Rose.
Another ad showed retired cops discussing Rose’s presence in the march. “He promised us that he was going to support the police,” one of the former cops said. “And then he marched with people to defund the police?”
Buffong said the political ad twisted his group’s goals.
“This attack ad tried to ostracize the Young Leaders and the community by mischaracterizing our efforts to fight for justice as something you should be afraid of,” he said.
‘The World is Crazy’
Some Staten Island activists have taken notice of the group’s quick rise and marveled at how they’ve been able to galvanize local support, largely through their following on Instagram.
They’ve garnered backers from more established local leaders, many of whom praised their peaceful protests in the conservative South Shore.
One was an anti-racism march and another honored New York’s oldest free Black settlement in Rossville. Several organizers told THE CITY that they’ve never seen marches at that scale attempted in the southern part of the borough.
Leaders with Staten Island Women Who March (SIWWM) and La Colmena, an employment advocacy group for domestic workers and day laborers, said that the Young Leaders are eager to collaborate. Members of the Young Leaders often work with La Colmena Youth.
“SIWWM was very supportive but we were taking what we call an ally role,” said Roxanne Mustafa, a cofounder of SIWWM. “We used our platforms on Instagram and Facebook to amplify their message. This was an uprising that was happening that we wanted to make sure it stayed in their truest form.”
Rose, who conceded Nov. 12, joined the chorus of supporters when he defended the Young Leaders in part of his speech, hours after polls closed on Election Day.
“Young Staten Islanders marched to express their pain. And for that, they were called rioters and thugs on national television,” said Rose. “They were demonized for their faith in America’s capacity for change. Their belief that peaceful protest is how you do it, and their hope that their hometown could be a part of that movement.”
Contrary to the attack ads, the group doesn’t support defunding the police.
Instead, when they met with Corey shortly after forming they advocated for cops to communicate more directly with residents in their neighborhoods and for the NYPD to be more transparent about discipline of officers accused of misconduct.
“We still need police because the world is crazy,” said Charles.

Jared Leto Talks About Kanye, Won’t Freeball It
Jared Leto talks about his journey thus far as an actor and musician in the upcoming issue of Details magazine. In the article, he talks about his mother being a circus acrobat, his rebellious youth and how wearing a dress is not a big deal – but he’ll always wear underwear.
Check out highlights of the interview after the jump!
DETAILS: You and Kanye West recorded a song together called “Hurricane,” which is in part about persecution. Did you bond over all your haters?
Jared Leto: I see Kanye as a fellow artist. I think there’s a connection there, but I don’t think it’s about feeling persecuted. It doesn’t matter if you’re President Barack Obama or Bono or the Pope—there’s someone out there who wants to fuck you and someone who wants to kill you.
DETAILS: After that [My So-Called Life] you took darker roles, from a heroin addict in Requiem for a Dream to Lennon’s murderer, Mark David Chapman, in Chapter 27. Did you feel the need to ugly yourself up to be taken seriously?
Jared Leto: I didn’t want to take on really corny movies that focused on people’s looks, if that’s what you mean. My heroes were Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Sean Penn, Daniel Day-Lewis. Those are the actors I thought, “Wow, those guys are pushing themselves as far as they can go.”
DETAILS: In concert you wear eyeliner, crazy hairstyles, elaborate outfits. Do you regard it as another acting gig?
Jared Leto: No, no, no. As a musician, it’s about revealing more of who you really are. I’m not handed a script with dialogue; there’s no cinematographer or editor. I’m not so interested in creating a persona. There have been shows where I’ve been very plain and shows where I’ve worn a dress. I’ve got a skirt on right now. I was in Japan and all the busboys were wearing them.
DETAILS: Would you wear it without the sweatpants underneath?
Jared Leto: No, I leave that to the Scottish.
DETAILS: You’ve gone out in public in drag.
Jared Leto: I walked down Madison Avenue in a spaghetti-strap tank top and black-fringe wig, and I thought that I would pass with flying colors, but I didn’t. My shoulders were too big. My jaw was too big. I was just trying to disappear. It wasn’t like I was getting in touch with my inner transvestite, which I’m sure is inside of us all somewhere.

Austin Regional Clinic testing vaccine for common cause of birth defects
By the time you're 40, you probably have had the cytomegalovirus and not even known it. It's a virus similar to chicken pox because it lives inside you once you've had it.
Cytomegalovirus — commonly known as CMV — causes typical virus symptoms like fever, sore throat or fatigue in most people. It can be detrimental for a pregnant person who gets it and passes it to their fetus. It can cause birth defects or even death for that fetus.
Now vaccine company Moderna is testing a new mRNA vaccine to prevent CMV infections in women of child-bearing age. Austin Regional Clinic's clinical research arm has three locations doing the national trials of this vaccine.
Kids and vaccines:Should your child get the COVID-19 booster? Central Texas experts weigh in
CMV is the most common infection a person can pass on to their babies during pregnancy. In the United States, 1 in 200 babies are born with CMV and 20% of those will have birth defects or long-term health problems. These include hearing loss, vision loss, developmental and motor delays, seizures and a smaller than typical head.
"t can be really severe," said Dr. Sharon Vaz, an obstetrician with Austin Regional Clinic.
Mothers aren't tested for CMV because there's nothing that can be done to help the fetus once she gets sick. In babies, it's picked up on an ultrasound when the technician finds a smaller head or fluid around the heart. At birth, a rash or jaundice, an enlarged spleen or liver and or small size of the baby might also indicate CMV, Vaz said.
It also matters at what point in the pregnancy a baby got the infection, she said. Babies infected in the first trimesters tend to have the most birth defects or health problems, but babies can become infected at any stage of pregnancy and even during birth.
These birth defects are not reversible.
This vaccine study was actually supposed to happen at the beginning of the pandemic, but got delayed as Moderna needed to focus on its COVID-19 vaccine development and trials.
The CMV vaccine trials are looking for women ages 16 to 40 who are not currently pregnant and do not plan to get pregnant in the next nine months. They have to be in good health and not have more than a 35 body mass index. Because CMV is a common infection for young children with more than a third of people having been infected by age 5, participants 20 and older have to have regular contact with a child 5 and younger at least eight hours a week.
Vaccine trials:Austin Regional Clinic testing COVID-19 vaccine designed to target variants
During the trial three injections are given over the course of six months. Half of the people will receive the vaccine and half will receive a placebo. . Researchers will follow their health and antibodies to CMV for 30 months.
The researchers are looking to see if people who have never had CMV and receive the vaccine develop good antibodies against it and if people who have had CMV but get the vaccine develop better antibodies against CMV. In CMV, reinfection is possible and if that happens during pregnancy, that can be detrimental to the baby.
Participants will receive monetary compensation for their time.
Inside vaccine trials:'Unblinded' and relieved: COVID-19 vaccine trial participants are learning what they received
Dr. Gretchen Crook, who is leading the trial at one of the ARC clinical research locations, said while this trial won't be as easy to recruit participants as the COVID-19 trials, she's hoping people who have known children with CMV-caused abnormalities will sign up as well as people who are interested in contributing to science or lessening birth defects.
The hope is that just like pregnant women get a flu shot, a TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine, and now a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy to protect their babies, a CMV vaccine also will be added during early pregnancy or even before.
To find out more about the trial, call ARC Clnical Research at 512-225-5931 or go to Moderna's CMVictory.com site.

Kiera Cappuccino (Caramello)
The Kiera bikini offers SALT’s take on iconic Italian beach glamour: sophisticated, elegant and sexy beach wear that makes you feel comfortable and at ease all summer long. Our inspiration for this bikini piece was the summer girl that enjoys all the adventurous summer bliss: jet skiing, wakeboarding, running on the beach, suntanning on a boat, enjoying cocktails by the pool and volleyball on the sand. For a fun and adventurous vibe, we created a strapless top that allows you to have the maximum beach fun and also tan perfectly (with SPF, of course!), so you can look gorgeous in the evening in all those fabulous summer dresses. What’s best, this model is an incredible day to evening piece as it has a sublime and elegant shimmer which makes you look equally glamorous in the sun, and at a sunset pool party (more on that in our Styling section).
We adore the Kiera piece as it stands for fun, happiness and it is such a glamorous take on summer. The light shimmer that each color has is beautifully reflected in the sun, making you look elegant and put together at the beach. After a full day in the sun, you can seamlessly transition to sunset cocktails on the beach with the addition of a flowy, light skirt, a great lipstick and some fun jewelry. You already have the perfect strapless top that shimmers in the evening light and can be paired with a variety of clothing, jewelry and beauty looks.
We love the look of a classic, white, linen button down shirt paired with the bottoms, or a maxi cut-out skirt paired with the top. Viva la summer!
Please note that we have this model in sizes Small and Medium. Items run true to size, meaning that our Small and Medium reflect the industry standards in Europe. Since the tie on the top is adjustable, it is suitable for a variety of sizes. We recommend a Small top for cup sizes A, B and C, and a Medium top for cups C, D and DD.
The Small bottom is suitable for sizes XS and S, while the Medium bottom is suitable for sizes M and L. The front is elegant and accentues the beauty of the female form, while the back is cheeky.

NEW JERSEY - A New Jersey man faces multiple charges after he allegedly ran over a woman, repeatedly, when she attempted to take pictures of his vehicle following a collision.
According to the Union County Prosecutor's Office, Vincent Jean, 56, of Elizabeth, was driving a Mitsubishi SUV on Tuesday at about 8:30 a.m. when it collided with a 23-year-old woman's vehicle in the area of Salem Avenue and Aberdeen Road in Elizabeth.
Witnesses told prosecutors that Jean attempted to flee the scene and the woman, who was standing on the sidewalk, began taking photos of his car in order to be able to identify him to the police.
That's when Jean drove directly at the woman who ran onto a lawn. Jean then drove onto the lawn and struck the woman, backed up, and ran over her a second time, said prosecutors.
Police responded to a 911 call about the injured woman and found her lying on the lawn with severe injuries.
Jean fled the scene but was found sitting in his car parked on Jefferson Avenue. The SUV was visibly damaged, added police.
The victim was rushed to University Hospital in critical condition. Her family issued the following statement Thursday:
"The family would like to express its gratitude for the expedient response to this incident by the Union County Prosecutor's Office, the Elizabeth Police Department, EMS workers as well as Elizabeth Mayor, Chris Bollwage. We also want to thank the citizens of Elizabeth for their aid and support, especially the school bus driver who intervened and the neighbor who provided the security camera footage of this horrific crime.
Vincent Jean, 56, of Elizabeth, N.J., is accused of running over a woman, repeatedly, with his SUV after he collided with her vehicle in Elizabeth, said the Union County Prosecutor's Office.
"Your actions and cooperation with law enforcement led to the quick apprehension of the perpetrator. These collective efforts along with the hard-working and diligent actions of the doctors and healthcare professionals at University Hospital, saved our daughter's life.
"What this man did to our daughter was atrocious and no parent, child or any human being should ever have to endure this.
"We want to be clear that this was not the result of any domestic dispute. This man was a complete stranger who committed a heinous act of road rage and attempted to kill our daughter simply because she was trying to get necessary information to lawfully report an accident while he was fleeing the scene.
Although we are heartbroken and deeply saddened by what happened, we are thankful that our daughter is alive. We are now focused on her care and recovery and will rely on the law enforcement professionals and the court system to dispense justice. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support but we ask that you respect our family's privacy during this time."
Jean was charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault, third-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, third-degree assault by auto, third-degree leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with serious bodily injury, third-degree endangering an injured victim and third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
He was held at the Union County jail pending a court appearance.
Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact Detective Thomas Koczur 908-358-9675 or Detective Edward Benenati at 908-328-6972.

We choose a jacket. What can be combined with and where to wear it?
Cool autumn evenings allow us to diversify our closet with interesting images and combinations of clothes. I love this time of year for the fact that you can complement any light clothing with a stylish jacket.
Today's jackets have exquisite decoration and extraordinary designs, which will allow creating a new image every time.
Let us together understand how to choose a jacket and what to combine it with.
I prefer to use clothes that emphasize femininity, individuality and attractiveness.
A jacket is an excellent element of clothing in every closet. With it you can complement your image and boldly go to school, work, business meeting, on a date or a walk.
Jacket can be free or fitted cut, with long or short sleeves, with or without gates.
Jacket without clasps is perfectly combined with a combination dress, sundress, skirt and shirt.

hello all, please i have question, any one can tell me if here in cyprus we can make orthodontic treatment i mean removable braces for child 7 years old FREE ? i have medical card and really wondering about this as private doctor told me the price i nearly had heart attack-1500 euro,i will apreciate any info about possibility removable braces in cyprus.thank you guys
€1500 seems cheap for conventional braces. Making and fitting them is very skilled and meticulous work.
Prices in the UK:
Here is a guide to the starting prices of our most popular braces – these prices are a guide only, and we will be able to give you an accurate quote at your free consultation:
Fixed braces cost from £3,295
Clear braces cost from £3,720
Invisalign® costs from £4,800
Invisalign® Teen cost from £4,800
Invisalign® Lite costs from £2,550
Invisalign® i7 costs from £1,350
Customised lingual braces cost from £3,930
Orthodontic Essentials (fixed braces for Under 18s) cost from £1795
In the USA they are even more expensive.
Whether they are available under GESY is anybody's guess as the situation is very much in flux. If you are registered, you can ask your GP for a referral to an orthodontist.

SARANAC LAKE - Enrollment in the Saranac Lake Central School District is expected to drop by another 80 students over the next four years.
Enrollment projections through the 2014-15 school year were provided to the school board Wednesday night by Dan Bower, the district's assistant superintendent for business.
The numbers show the district currently has 1,374 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, down from 1,403 last year and 1,488 in the 2007-08 school year. Enrollment is projected to drop to 1,348 next year and continue a steady slide to 1,295 students in the 2014-15 school year.
Terrence Tubridy, pictured here at Wednesday’s Saranac Lake school board meeting, was recently appointed to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Susan Rdzanek. Wednesday was Tubridy’s first meeting as a board member, though he’s been attending the board’s meetings since last year.

"It's trending down, but it's not exactly plummeting either," Bower told the Enterprise Thursday.
In the past two years, school officials have cited the district's declining enrollment as the justification for closing two schools - Lake Clear Elementary, which shut down in 2009, and Lake Colby Elementary, which will close at the end of this school year - and the elimination of teaching and staff positions. At least 15 jobs are slated to be cut this year through layoffs and retirements that aren't replaced. Another dozen positions were eliminated last year.
No modified baseball?
Athletic Director Mark Farmer said Wednesday that the district may not be able to field a boys modified baseball team this season because it doesn't have enough students. He said he's looking at ways to increase the team's roster, including merging with Lake Placid's boys modified team, but hasn't found a solution yet.
"We're trying to fix it, but you can't play baseball with eight kids," Farmer said. "If we can't continue on, there will be some kids and some parents who are disappointed."
If the modified team's season is canceled, Farmer said some of the students could try out for track or lacrosse.
New board member
Wednesday's meeting was the first for Terry Tubridy, who was appointed by the board to fill Susan Rdzanek's seat for the rest of the school year. Rdzanek resigned from the board because she and her husband are moving to Georgia.
Superintendent Gerald Goldman welcomed Tubridy to the board.
"I'm very happy you're here," he said. "It's not easy being a board member. It's a thankless job for the most part. But thank you very much for being willing to do this."
Tubridy said he's hit the ground running and has been reading up on the district's policies and procedures - information Rdzanek left for him.
The remaining three years of Rdzanek's term will be on the ballot in May, along with the school board seat held by board Vice President Darren Dalton. Candidates interested in the seat have to file petitions with the district by April 18.
The board acknowledged the retirement of three more teachers and two staff members Wednesday:
Joan Tyler, special education teacher, hired in 1978
Linda Banta, high school library media specialist, hired in 1984
Linda Jackson, elementary teacher, hired in 1972
JoAnn Cass, food service worker, hired in 1986
Creighton Carter, auto mechanic, hired in 1975
The district is planning to eliminate at least nine and as many as 11 positions that teachers and staff are retiring from this year.
The board also voted Wednesday to appoint former district business manager Mike Kilroy as a long-term substitute transportation supervisor. Kilroy is filling in for Keith White, who is out on medical leave. He'll be paid $28.41 per hour.

Sorption-Induced Conductivity Changes in Compound Semiconductors.
Technical rept., Sep 69-Jun 71,
PRINCETON UNIV N J DEPT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Pagination or Media Count:
Large changes in the equilibrium semiconductivity of thin compound semiconductors induced by chemisorption are investigated. Evaporated films and single crystals of CdS and single crystals of CdSe both n-type show a gradual reduction in semiconductivity coupled with an increase in activation energy with increasing oxygen pressure above a certain threshold. Evaporated CdS films are more sensitive to such changes at lower pressure as are the more highly compensated Cu and Au doped films. Oxygen chemisorption states of CdS and CdSe are distributed in energy in the semiconductor bandgap being largest at the conduction band edge and decreasing exponentially with energy into the gap. Atomically structured CdS single crystal surfaces, obtained by ion bombardment and vacuum annealing are insensitive to chemisorption. Thus, adsorption sites can be associated with surface impurities andor imperfections. PbI2 p-type exhibits an increase in semiconductivity with oxygen pressure in accord with the models developed in the report. Author

Should every woman with newly diagnosed breast cancer get axillary imaging? That was the question debated by two foremost experts in the field at an RSNA 2020 Controversy Session on Monday.
"Axillary nodal management has undergone quite a historical evolution and that is important context for understanding where this controversy comes from in the role of imaging for breast cancer patients," said Victoria Mango, MD, associate radiologist and co-director, Breast Imaging Education and Training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Dr. Mango explained that conventional treatment of a breast cancer patient used to include an axillary lymph node dissection.
"But more recent data shows that it was safe to do a sentinel lymph node procedure instead," she said. "In this procedure, the first few lymph nodes draining the area are checked with surgical biopsy, and if negative, no further surgery is needed. If positive, a patient would go on to an axillary lymph node dissection."
This approach has evolved over the last decade, Dr. Mango said. Currently, if the sentinel lymph node is positive, the patient may or may not go on to an axillary lymph node dissection.
"It's really these changes to the clinical and surgical approach to axillary management that leads to this controversy," Dr. Mango said. "When is it appropriate to do preoperative axillary imaging evaluation?"
Impact of ACOSOG Trials
Regarding preoperative axillary imaging and early stage cancers, Dr. Mango focused on the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) Z0011 trial first published in 2010 and 2011. Numerous updates have followed.
The study evaluated survival and locoregional recurrence in patients with one or two positive sentinel nodes who were randomized to undergo axillary lymph node dissection after sentinel lymph node biopsy, compared to sentinel lymph node biopsy alone.
"The study concluded that despite the potential for residual axillary disease after sentinel lymph node biopsy, sentinel lymph node biopsy without axillary lymph node dissection offers excellent regional control with equivalent survival," Dr. Mango said.
"What Z0011 means for radiologists is that preoperative axillary imaging is really only going to be helpful if we can help tell the surgeon which patients can go right to axillary lymph node dissection," Dr. Mango said. "Can I tell with imaging if they have one or two positive nodes versus three or more nodes, which is going to be that cut-off for whether or not they are going to meet that Z0011 criteria?"
Essentially, it means less is more, she continued. "But the logical question is can I preoperatively accurately identify these women who need an axillary lymph node dissection and help them avoid going through a sentinel lymph node biopsy if ultimately we can tell they need more?"
Dr. Mango argued that for clinically T1- and T2-node negative patients, preoperative axillary imaging is only beneficial if it demonstrates which patients require axillary lymph node biopsy and that the axilla should be managed by the sentinel lymph node biopsy results, and not by ultrasound (US) findings or US biopsy results.
Radiologists, Surgeons, Must Communicate
On the other hand, Gaiane Maia Rauch, MD, PhD, Department of Radiology, University of Texas MD Anderson Center, argued that there is a place for axillary US, even in light of the findings of the Z0011 trial.
Axillary US imaging is important in determining the extent of nodal burden and particularly in excluding clinically occult N2 and N3 disease, Dr. Rauch said.
"It also helps in treatment, may change the extent of the radiation field, may divert patients to neoadjuvant systemic therapy and might guide the need and correct extent of axillary surgery," she said.
Drs. Mango and Rauch also examined the controversy in the neoadjuvant setting. Dr. Mango maintained that axillary imaging before or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not reliably indicate which patients will need axillary lymph node dissection after chemotherapy.
"The axilla really does need to be managed based on the sentinel lymph node results, not by ultrasound findings or ultrasound biopsy results," Dr. Mango said. "Ultimately it's a team approach."
Dr. Rauch pointed out that axillary US has helped achieve a false negative rate of less than 10% in patients with node-positive breast cancer after neoadjuvant systemic therapy and who have limited axillary surgery such as targeted axillary dissection, or the radioactive iodine seed localization in the axilla with the sentinel node procedure.
Axillary US also helps abnormal node identification, biopsy clip placement and localization, Dr. Rauch said.
"It helps avoid overtreatment with axillary lymph node dissection of this patient population, and it helps avoid axillary surgery in triple negative breast cancer and HER2+ breast cancer patients who have breast [pathological complete response] after neoadjuvant systemic therapy and negative axillary ultrasound at staging."
"Surgical management of the axilla in breast cancer patients is extremely controversial and continues to evolve, with multiple clinical trials ongoing," Dr. Rauch concluded. "Radiologists must communicate with their referring surgeons to determine the best management plans for their patients."
The debate was moderated by Maxine Jochelson, MD, Director of Radiology at the Evelyn Lauder Breast and Imaging Center and attending radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Jochelson noted that while the two presenters drew exact opposite conclusions, patients at both institutions do well.
"Although we disagree in many ways, we also, at the base, agree on many things," Dr. Jochelson said. "At the end of the day we are looking for outcomes." She concluded with a reminder that those outcomes indicate we all take great care of our patients.
"That's the main goal," agreed Dr. Rauch.

The British Columbia coroner has reported that "Glee" actor Cory Monteith died from a deadly mix of heroin and alcohol, according to a tweet from The Associated Press.
Monteith, 31, was found dead in his Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on Saturday.
The actor died of "mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," according to an initial autopsy report conducted by the British Columbia Coroner's Office. The investigation into his death by the coroners' office is continuing.
Monteith's death recalls the lives of Heath Ledger, Corey Haim and River Phoenix — successful actors who battled substance abuse and died in their 20s and 30s. Monteith talked bluntly about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, calling it a serious problem and telling Parade magazine in 2011 he was "lucky to be alive."
He admitted himself to a treatment facility in April for substance addiction and asked for privacy as he took steps toward recovery, a representative said at the time.
Lea Michele, Monteith's "Glee" co-star and real-life girlfriend, told People magazine that she loved and supported him and was proud he was seeking help. It was not Monteith's first time in rehab. He also received treatment when he was 19.

TJ’s last Youth World Championships - South Korea
On August 15th, TJ will touch down in South Korea, for his final Youth Worlds Championships.
It seems like yesterday that we were off to Russia (2018) and Italy (2019). Then there was COVID.. Last years Worlds were a little closer to home and TJ’s coach got the honour of heading to Dallas, Texas with him to compete and train. For his last Worlds, TJ is going solo.
To make his dream of competing in South Korea a reality, TJ has tirelessly worked two jobs all summer while continuing to training rigorously. But his passion for climbing doesn't stop there; TJ plans to continue climbing competitively in the open division throughout the upcoming season, with exciting international competitions on the horizon.
So to ensure his last Youth Worlds are the best they can be before focusing on sponsorships and juggling work, school, training and traveling to competitions, I am putting together this go-fund-me. If you would like to say hi to TJ in person before his travels, he will be at the Purcell golf course on Wednesday Aug 9th at 5:30.
Stay tuned to my social media stories for updates during TJ’s travels/competition and a little bit of reminiscing on past events as we lead up to South Korea.

When comparing the two mediums, it’s easy to notice some similarities, but there are several key differences that make books superior to movies. In addition to the entertainment value, books also have more memorable characters and better dialogue than movies. These differences are the reasons why book adaptations often outshine their movie counterparts.
It is widely held that book characters are better than movie characters. This view is backed by the fact that book readers are able to immerse themselves in the story. They are able to feel what the characters are feeling and understand their thoughts. Movies, however, tend to lose the realism of the story and can end up being inaccurate. While some movie adaptations stick to the storyline of the book, others take it a step further and change it.
Another reason why book characters are better than movie characters is that they have more internal dialogue. In a book, the internal dialogue is important for the development of the character. This dialogue is often lacking in movies, because the storytellers often don’t have enough time to include all of the subplots.
Book dialogue is one of the primary reasons books are better than movies. In a film, you only see what’s happening on the outside; in a book, you get to know the characters’ inner thoughts. This allows for better characterization. In addition, a book is much easier to set up.
A book is much longer than a movie, which allows you to fully explore a story and character. Movies, on the other hand, are limited to two or three hours. While movies are popular, writers have more time to develop their characters fully. That means they can get inside the minds of more characters than they can in a book. This complexity is simply impossible to translate into a movie.
Book vs movie adaptations
While book and movie adaptations both offer unique storytelling experiences, there are some differences. The main difference between them is the way the characters are portrayed. A book is more visual, while a movie may be more literal. Film adaptations of a book often stray from the source material, changing the pacing of events or the chronological order of events. Sometimes, the dialogue and other aspects of a book may be better suited to the movie version.
Despite the differences between the two artistic mediums, book adaptations typically earn more money than movie adaptations. In fact, novel adaptations typically earn 53% more money than their original screenplays. Similarly, book adaptations tend to get more hype among moviegoers.
Book vs movie plot
When comparing a book with its movie adaptation, a key consideration is the plot. The plot is the heart of any story. Movies are often rushed and can even cut entire subplots. The book, on the other hand, can take its time telling a story. As a result, it often includes more action and detail than the movie.
Book vs movie characters
Movies and books both use characters to tell stories. To be effective, characters must be well-suited to the story and distinguishable from each other. Movies may use voice-overs or other actors to portray the characters, but these changes can ruin the scene. In contrast, books can use internal dialogue to bring a character to life. Understanding the character’s internal processes will make the reader empathize with them.
Books are much more accurate when it comes to describing the inner thoughts of characters. Movies often lack this detail, particularly if the actors are not up to scratch. In the 1992 film version of Dracula, Keanu Reaves played the role of the vampire hunter Jonathan Harker. The character Ginny Weasley was flat in the Harry Potter films. Movie producers tend to focus on stories that make money, not on accuracy.
Book vs movie dialogue
Movies and books both use characters and character development to tell a story. To make the stories more engaging and appealing to an audience, the characters need to be suited to the story and distinct from one another. In addition, book characters should have clear personalities that fulfill important aspects of the plot. Compared to characters in movies, book characters are more clear and concise and are more likely to be remembered by the audience.
Book and movie dialogue should be similar in terms of style, but they differ in major ways. Film dialogue is usually shorter and less plot-driven, as film is a visual medium. Novels can be much longer, so the dialogue can be more character-driven.

Beautiful shrub of Australian origin.
It is grown in the garden, in full earth, or in pots, in a very sunny place, in fresh and rich soil, slightly acid.
It needs fairly regular summer watering, as it does not tolerate prolonged drought. Every 12-15 days add fertilizer for flowering plants to the water.
In summer it produces particular panicles of red flowers, similar to large bright pipe cleaners; when the flowers wither it is advisable
remove them, because they tend to dry out, together with the tips of the branches that carry them: pruning in addition to benefiting the aesthetic appearance of the plant, will also favor a denser growth of the entire shrub.
They can fear the most intense frosts, so we provide to cover the shrubs in winter, using woven fabric.

It looks like Amaal Mallik’s Twitter battle with Sonakshi Sinha is not coming to a halt anytime soon.
A lot has been said about Sonakshi Sinha performing at Justin Bieber’s concert, when the International singer lands in Mumbai in the month of May.
It was Kailash Kher, who first pointed out at that Sonakshi singing with Justin Bieber is not a good idea. Amaal Mallik completely supported this thought and expressed his opinion on the issue. The entire controversy created an uproar on social media when the Dabangg actress took a dig at Amaan and his singer brother Armaan Mallik.
Now, Amaal Malik, who wants iconic singers to take the big stage on such a big occasion, told a leading daily, “I feel when an international singing icon tours our country, it is important to put forward our own icons, like Arijit Singh, KK, Sonu Nigam, and Armaan. India has some incredible talent that should represent us at such big international gigs.”
He further said, “Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor have done a good job with playback singing recently. I got Salman sir to sing Main Hoon Hero Tera for me. This is okay for films but for music concerts as big as Justin Bieber’s, I stand with Kailash Kher. Pure musical artistes should get the opportunity to perform instead of actors who are not conventional musicians.”
Sonakshi Sinha had also taken her stand by implying that the singer-composer duo had approached her for a collaboration.However, Sonakshi’s latest tweet on the matter also implies that she is no longer performing at Justin Bieber’s India concert.

Is EU Close to Polexit?Politics | October 8, 2021, Friday // 15:07| views
The centre-right European People’s Party (EPP), the largest political group in the European Parliament, sounded the alarm on Thursday (7 October), warning that Poland’s ruling party is pushing the country towards ‘Polexit’.
Poland’s highest court ruled on Thursday (7 October) that parts of EU treaties are incompatible with the Polish constitution, challenging a key tenet of European integration in a sharp escalation of a dispute between Brussels and Warsaw over the rule of law.
Poland is ruled by the Law and Justice party (PiS) of Jarosław Kaczyński, a right-wing national-conservative force which dominates the European Conservatives and Reformist (ECR) group in the European Parliament.
The sister party of the European People’s Party (EPP) in Poland is the Civic Platform (PO), founded by Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister who was President of the European Council in Brussels before leading the EPP party itself.
The Civic Platform is the main challenger of PiS and many believe that Tusk, who left the EPP’s top job to return to Poland, could unite the opposition ahead of the 2023 parliamentary elections.
Poland’s highest court ruled on Thursday (7 October) that parts of EU treaties are incompatible with the Polish constitution, challenging a key tenet of European integration in a sharp escalation of a dispute between Brussels and Warsaw.
“It’s hard to believe the Polish authorities and the PiS Party when they claim that they don’t want to put an end to Poland’s membership of the EU,” said Jeroen Lenaers, a Dutch lawmaker from the EPP group in the European Parliament.
“Their actions go in the opposite direction. Enough is enough. The Polish Government has lost its credibility. This is an attack on the EU as a whole”, said Lenaers who is Group Spokesman for Justice and Home Affairs.
The Poles are overwhelmingly pro-EU and indeed, to avoid controversy over EU membership, PiS claims that it is not seeking Polexit.
After the surprising return to Polish politics of former European Council president and ex-prime minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, three Polish polling institutes have published the results of the latest polls on support for political parties.

“By declaring that the EU Treaties are not compatible with Polish law, the illegitimate Constitutional Tribunal in Poland has put the country on the path to Polexit,” Lenaers said, stressing that the court pronounced its verdict at the request of Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
“With this request, Morawiecki has not only legitimised an illegal system of the judiciary in Poland, but he has also questioned the very basis of the European Union. And he did it despite the calls of the whole democratic world not to do so,” the Dutchman stated.
“EU member states must not stand by idly when the rule of law continues to be dismantled by the Polish Government. Neither can the European Commission. Our money can’t finance the governments which mock and negate our jointly-agreed rules,” he continued.
“The consequences must be drawn, and the European Commission should immediately use all available tools in order not to sponsor the autocrats in Warsaw,” he concluded.
Hungary stands in support of Poland, but the Netherlands has indicated that it would not hesitate taking Poland to the European Court of Justice for disrespecting the rule of law.
The lower house of the Dutch parliament adopted a resolution on Tuesday obliging the government to file a claim against Poland at the European Court of Justice, for disrespecting the rule of law.
Poland, together with Hungary, vetoed the EU budget …
The liberal ‘Renew Europe’ political group also condemned the ruling by the Polish constitutional tribunal and urged the EU Commission to stand firm and reject attempts by the Polish Government to use this decision for blackmail.
Malik Azmani, First Vice-President of Renew Europe, called on the Commission to trigger the rule of law conditionality mechanism and refrain from releasing funds under the EU’s €750 billion coronavirus recovery plan until it is certain that the EU’s fundamental values and laws are upheld in Poland./Euractiv

Audi has taken the veil of second-generation A5 and S5 coupe lineup, complete with a new lightweight chassis, new set of engines and even more tech.
The latest A5 coupe will be offered worldwide with a choice of five powertrains. There’s two TFSI and three TDI engines, with outputs between 140-210kW. Audi claims the new range of engines increase performance by 17 per cent, and efficiency by 22 per cent.
The S5 coupe on the other hand receives Audi’s 3.0-litre turbocharged V6. The unit produces 260kW of power and 500Nm of torque, taking the S5 from 0-100km/h in just 4.7 seconds. Despite the power, Audi claims an economy figure of just 7.3L/100km.
Both models come fitted with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system, as well as an optional extra for a rear-axle sport differential, and Audi’s drive select suspension system which features adjustable damper control.
Outside, designers have sharpened up the A5’s aesthetic, adopting the company’s latest design language, making the car edgier and more modern. The four bonnet lines and wheel arches are said to be a nod to Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system.
Inside, there’s a massive 12.3-inch TFT display and 8.3-inch MMI interface which make up the presentation aspect of Audi’s virtual cockpit. The A5 comes with Audi Connect and new Audi Connect sim card which allows passengers to surf the net, via a LTE connection.
High-tech optional extras include a Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, wireless smartphone charging and connect safety and service package, which can make emergency calls, search online for roadside assist as well as unlock the car and check the vehicle’s status.
The new generation A5 coupe and S5 will go on sale in Australia early next year. The local arm is yet to specify prices and specs.


Nunns Creek Park will be the location of a temporary warming shelter this winter, following a decision by Campbell River city council.
The decision was made in response to a current shortfall of extreme weather shelter beds in Campbell River, as highlighted by the Campbell River and District Coalition to End Homelessness (CRDCEH). The Salvation Army has provided this service in previous years, but it currently lacks the necessary space (due to decreased occupancy limits) and staff (but continues to operate the Evergreen House Emergency Shelter).
City council approved the proposal on Dec. 7 in a 6-1 vote, with Coun. Kermit Dahl voting in opposition. The shelter will be used as an interim measure, until a permanent indoor location is found. It will otherwise be operational until the end of March 2022.
In the meeting, Dahl said he would oppose the proposal in light of recent violent events in parts of Campbell River.
“We’ve had stabbings in front of the bank, the drug store, the grocery store, in front of the Walmart, and in a bus stop,” he said. “This is completely unacceptable, and our acceptance of this as becoming the norm is completely unacceptable.
“If this moves forward, I hope that the people that do vote in favour of it are willing to accept responsibility for sacrificing Nunns Creek and starting to take ownership of the issues that are going on.”
Coun. Claire Moglove said what the question considered was not crime, which she acknowledged is a worsening problem, but whether council would move to help provide a place where people experiencing homeless can be safe away from the elements.
The temporary shelter will provide about 20 extreme weather shelter beds and occupants a hot meal each night. Providing these spaces is essential to keep people from sleeping overnight outside in damp bedding throughout Campbell River’s cold and wet winter, said Stefanie Hendrickson, CRDCEH coordinator, in an Oct. 19 letter to council.
Plans for the shelter have yet to be finalized. It may feature a large tent with heaters and cots. Alternatively, a group of smaller tents, set up each evening and taken down each morning, could be used instead. Portable washrooms will also be provided on site. There will also be security present when it is in operation.
There are currently encampments in Nunns Creek Park, which has been designated by the city as the location where overnight camping is to be directed. It is the city’s hope that some of the individuals currently occupying these areas will relocate to the new warming centre and that on-site security will alleviate safety concerns, said Peter Wipper, the city’s director of community safety, in the meeting.
The new shelter could increase the number of people residing in Nunns Creek Park, according to the associated city report to council, however.
Coun. Ron Kerr and Mayor Andy Adams said they are concerned about ongoing camping downtown, emphasizing that around the Centennial Building, which houses the art gallery.
While city bylaw enforcement addresses camping at this location (and encourages those campers to move to Nunns Creek, said Wipper), they do not work on evenings and weekends. Despite the city funding overnight security patrols, these have not been active over recent weeks due to staff shortages.
City staff will receive a report each month from site security and will report any concerns to council, following an amendment proposed by Coun. Colleen Evans.
It is expected the set up and operation of the facility will be fully funded through grant funding and donations. Financial support from BC Housing is dependent on a location and a lead organization to host the response.
CRDCEH continues to look for a permanent solution at an indoor setting, said Jason Locke, the city’s long-range planning and sustainability manager.
“Everybody wants an indoor location, including BC Housing,” said Locke.

Today Twitter announced a test, limited to Brazil, of a major new feature for the social service: Fleets, which take their inspiration from the Stories feature found on Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.
Fleets, short for “fleeting tweets,” live at the top of your timeline just like stories do in other social media apps, and they disappear after 24 hours. Multiple fleets can be written in a day and include text, images, GIFs, and videos, but the way they are interacted with is different than a standard tweet. There’s no way to retweet or reply to someone’s tweet in a public sense; instead, followers can react to a fleet via DM, or a reaction which is sent via DM. Presumably this means that if someone’s DMs are closed, only people they follow can respond to their fleets.
This new test was announced by Twitter Product Lead Kayvon Beykpour in a series of tweets where you can see both images and video of fleets being demoed.
Normally tests of new features, especially ones as limited as this, wouldn’t necessarily merit reporting on because there’s a good chance they may not come to fruition in full release. Fleets, however, are a major new functionality for Twitter and they have clearly had a lot of work poured into them. They’re also a reflection of where other social media services have already moved, making it highly likely that they’ll eventually get a wide release on Twitter, in some form or another.
Although I’m not a big user of ephemeral sharing on other services, and that’s unlikely to change here, I’m nevertheless happy to see Twitter continue pouring work into evolving its product. If fleets do get a worldwide release in the future, I’ll be interested to see if they cause the quality of timelines to improve as tweets are reserved for more important statements while fleets house everything else.
Yesterday, Twitter rolled out a useful new feature that makes it easier to append new tweets to a past thread in its iOS app. Although you could already find an old thread and add to it, the new feature lets you do so from inside the compose field. That way, you can start a fresh tweet and decide after you’ve written it that you want to tack it onto an old thread.
The mechanic is simple. From the tweet compose view, pull down. Your most recent tweet will appear so you can continue it as a thread. Alternatively, there’s also an ellipses button next to ‘Continue Thread’ that you can tap, and all of your tweets come into view in reverse chronological order. Pick one, and the tweet you were composing is added to that thread. If you have second thoughts, there’s still an option to remove the tweet from the thread before tapping the Tweet button and sending the new message.
Twitter announced the feature with a tweet that includes a GIF demonstrating how it works:
Features like this have slowly but surely led me to start using the official Twitter app again. It’s been a painful process after years of using third-party Twitter clients, and I’m still doing a lot of my tweet reading in Tweetbot where I have an extensive collection of muted terms. Yet, as my overall time using the service has waned a little, I’ve found that the features that I can’t get from third-party apps have drawn me in more and more.
Chance Miller, writing for 9to5Mac:
Twitter is rolling out an update to the official Twitter for iPad app that brings a much-needed interface redesign. With today’s update, Twitter for iPad now better takes advantage of the added screen real estate available on the iPad.
As first noted by _Applesfera_, Twitter for iPad now features a multi-column view that allows you to see quite a bit more information. Up until now, Twitter for iPad featured a single timeline of content, surrounded by white space on either side. This led to a lot of wasted space, particularly in landscape mode.
With this redesign, Twitter for iPad now looks and behaves more like the Twitter web app. The menu bar has moved from the bottom to the side of your timeline. On the other side of the timeline, you’ll now find trending topics and other dynamic content.
I’m intrigued by this redesign because, for the past several years, the Twitter app for iPad has offered one of the worst designs on the platform, with an oversized iPhone layout that took no advantage of the extra screen real estate provided by the iPad Pro.
Looking at these early screenshots, I don’t love that Twitter is using the additional column for trends and search options – I’d rather have a customizable column (à la Tweetdeck) to display any kind of Twitter content. It would be great if the extra column could also show tweets from search results: for the past several months, I’ve been using a saved search to check out a complete timeline of my mentions; in theory, I should be be able to view my timeline and mentions at the same time by virtue of having two columns on iPad. Unfortunately, I think Twitter is just going to replicate the web app’s layout and use the additional column for search filters and trends (example) – tweets will always be displayed in the main timeline. If you compare the current Twitter web app running in Safari for iPadOS to the screenshots of the iPad app’s redesign, you’ll notice that they’re essentially using the same layout.
It looks like Twitter is A/B testing this redesign for now, and I don’t have it yet. I’m going to reserve judgement until I can actually play around with it, but if my interpretation is correct, this won’t bring true multi-column support to Twitter for iPad. Sadly, the original, groundbreaking, Loren Brichter-designed Twitter for iPad is still a distant memory.
Twitter today announced long-overdue support for iOS Live Photos. Rolling out now on all compatible platforms, whenever you add a Live Photo to a tweet you’re composing, you’ll see a new GIF button in the corner of the image. By default the button is crossed out, indicating the Live Photo will be shared as a still image. However, with a single tap you can choose to share your Live Photo as a GIF instead.
Live Photos first debuted in 2015 alongside the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, but there were plenty of questions at the time about whether the feature would be adopted by social media services or not. For Twitter we now know that the answer was yes, eventually.
I think turning Live Photos into GIFs is a great idea, especially since Twitter auto-plays GIFs by default as you scroll your timeline. Not every Live Photo deserves to be converted to a GIF, which is why I’m glad the feature isn’t on by default, but being able to change that with a single tap is a nice option to have.
It’s time for Apple Watch apps to grow up, and Chirp for Twitter is leading the charge.
Chirp 2.0 debuted today, offering a full-featured Twitter experience on the Apple Watch. Chirp was already the prime Twitter client on watchOS, but with version 2 the app becomes something truly special: an iPhone-quality app on the Watch. Thanks to SwiftUI and other new developer tools Apple has built for watchOS, Chirp can do all the things you would expect from a full-featured iOS app, such as load your whole timeline, with liking and retweeting functionality, display videos and open links embedded in tweets, offer tweet composition, full user profiles, DMs, and much, much more.
Watch developer Will Bishop has been shipping impressive apps for a while, but Chirp 2.0 undoubtedly represents his best work yet.
Casey Newton reports for The Verge on a new Twitter feature coming soon:
Recently, a friend told me he wanted to spend more time using Twitter, but he didn’t quite know how. His primary interest is comedy, he told me, and he hoped to find a way to see comedians’ best jokes on Twitter as they were posted. But when he followed comedians, he mostly saw a lot of self-promotion — tour dates, late-night appearances, and that sort of thing. No matter your personal interests, there are countless good and relevant tweets on Twitter. But where are they?
Topics, a new feature from Twitter that is starting to roll out this week, represents a significant effort to answer that question. You will be able to follow more than 300 “topics” across sports, entertainment, and gaming, just as you are currently able to follow individual accounts. In return, you’ll see tweets from accounts that you don’t follow that have credibility on these subjects.
Topics represent a major new addition to the Twitter timeline, easily one of the most significant changes the service has ever introduced. Though topics have the potential to improve a person’s timeline, they could also have the opposite effect if not done well. Based on this report, it sounds like Twitter’s team has all the right checks in place to ensure tweets from topics are things you’ll actually care about. Here’s Newton on how the process works:
First, Twitter scans incoming tweets for keywords like “WWE,” “pro wrestling,” and so on. (It can’t search for those terms in images and videos, at least not yet.) Second, Twitter searches to see if the tweet is from someone who normally tweets about that topic as a measure of credibility. Finally, Twitter looks at engagement: how many other people who care about this topic liked, retweeted, or replied to a tweet? The more people are interacting with the tweet, the more likely it is to make the cut.
I’m eager to try following a few topics to see whether they have a positive or negative impact on my timeline. I think the feature will be a clear win for users who are new to Twitter, and don’t already have a well-curated collection of follows; for those who have used the service for years, though, it may not be as appealing. And there’s no word on whether topics you follow will appear in your timeline in third-party clients like Tweetbot and Twitterrific.
We won’t have to wait long to find out: topics are starting to roll out this week with a full global launch next Wednesday, November 13th.
This fall has been a significant season for the iPad. While new hardware has been limited to an updated entry-level iPad, the software changes have more than made up for the dearth of hardware updates. September brought iPadOS, the new branch of iOS that packs advancements like multiwindowing, an upgraded Home screen, and more. Mere weeks after iPadOS launched, macOS Catalina enabled a host of iPad apps to be brought to the Mac, which in some cases meant those iPad apps became more Mac-like as a result.
Thanks to these recent software changes, a couple of key Twitter apps for iPad have been updated to offer key new functionality. Twitterrific has become the first Twitter client to add multiwindow support, enabling creating separate windows for different accounts or different views within the same account. The first-party Twitter app, meanwhile, has recently added extensive support for external keyboards, likely as a side benefit of the app making its way to the Mac. In both cases, the Twitter experience on iPad has been meaningfully improved in ways that power users will appreciate.
Twitter is back on the Mac with an all-new Catalyst app. Twitter abandoned its Mac app early last year with a late Friday tweet:
Given the lack of support for the app leading up to that point, Twitter’s actions weren’t surprising. However, that left Mac users with only Twitter’s web app or third-party apps until yesterday, when the company released a Mac Catalyst version of their iPad app.
Twitter’s iPad app isn’t known for a strong design:
Four years have passed since Federico tweeted that and Twitter’s iPad client hasn’t gotten much better, which left me skeptical about what a Mac Catalyst version of Twitter’s app would look like. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well the port works on the Mac despite some rough edges.
It’s been nearly seven years since Twitterrific 5 launched on the App Store, and so much about Twitter has changed since then. One major shift is the seismic increase in media shared on the platform; as our devices and data speeds have gotten faster, so too have the amount of GIFs, images, and videos we share online grown. While Twitterrific has certainly done its fair share of adapting for the times in previous updates, adding improved media controls and the like, today Twitterrific 6 introduces the most significant updates for the app’s media experience to date. There’s a new GIPHY integration, autoplaying videos and GIFs in the timeline, and a lot more. Added to that, users can now customize their Twitterrific experience in fresh ways thanks to additional themes, icons, and a new font.
