GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Kansas City Chiefs' receiving corps took two more hits, though coach Andy Reid seemed to be a bit more worried by all the flags.
The Chiefs had 14 penalties in all during a 34-14 loss Thursday night to the Green Bay Packers to wrap up the preseason. It didn't matter to Reid that both lineups were littered with backups.
"They're all ours. We don't look at them like they're backup players," Reid said. "They're mistakes and we have to correct them."
Third-string quarterback Tyler Bray threw for 116 yards and a touchdown on 8-of-15 passing. Joe McKnight added 50 yards and a score on 10 carries in vying for the third-string running back job.
Otherwise, the Packers reserves set the tone, with Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien each throwing for two touchdowns in their competition to back up starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Flynn threw for 102 yards and Tolzien had 139 in splitting reps by quarter in the evening's most closely watched position battle. Coach Mike McCarthy might keep both players anyway a season after Rodgers missed seven weeks with a collarbone injury — though McCarthy has also said he doesn't want to overreact to what happened in 2013.
The Chiefs' defense looked lost at times. Kansas City had seven penalties in the first half that ended with Green Bay up by 13.
"It's good to get the preseason over. Let's get on with the regular season," Reid said. "We had an opportunity to play a lot of young guys today, which is one of the positives ... you get a chance to evaluate some of the young players and go from there."
Rosters must be trimmed to the 53-man limit by Saturday afternoon.
Chiefs receiver A.J. Jenkins made one of the most impressive plays of the night with a diving 45-yard catch. Bray followed on the next play with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Richard Gordon late in the second quarter.
But a receiving positions already dented by injuries to Dwayne Bowe and Junior Hemingway lost two more players. Jenkins later left with a concussion, while Kyle Williams departed in the first quarter with a sprained shoulder.
Bowe has a groin injury, and the Chiefs already know their No. 1 receiver will miss the opener because a suspension for an arrest in November. Still, Reid thought the Chiefs would be fine with receiving depth.
Jenkins could have made an important statement for playing time if healthy. He beat reserve defensive back Ryan White on a nice throw from Bray to get to the Packers 9.
"I've learned so much this offseason and this preseason from where I was last year," Bray said. "It's easy once you kind of know what's going on, and you're not out there guessing."
The drive was set up by a 49-yard kickoff return by Frankie Hammond Jr., a former practice squad player Reid also hopes can step up at receiver.
McKnight, vying with Cyrus Gray for the third-string running back job behind Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis, rushed for a 1-yard score in the third quarter.
Otherwise, the Packers (3-1) were never threatened. They look to be in good shape heading into next week's season opener at the Super Bowl champion Seahawks.
"That's exactly how you want to finish your preseason," McCarthy said. "I don't know if I've felt this good coming out of the preseason as I do tonight."
Flynn hit rookie Davante Adams on play-action for a 22-yard touchdown on the Packers' opening drive. On his first drive in the second quarter, Tolzien hit rookie receiver Jeff Janis for a 33-yard touchdown near the front corner of the end zone.
"I think Matt and Scott have both championed the case to be on our football team," McCarthy said.
On the touchdown, Janis beat cornerback Phillips Gaines, who was also whistled for illegal contact and holding penalties in the game.
Along with Rodgers, the Packers also held out starters Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers.

Development on the MyAir® Web App
In early 2020, we launched MyAir®, the web app produced for Zephyr® users to access their measured air quality data. Since its launch, we’ve continued developing the portal and investing in the latest technologies so we can provide an unrivalled air quality service.
We recently added some exciting new features to MyAir® for users to gain further insight into pollution concentrations, trends, sources and more!
Here’s what MyAir® users can expect to receive with the latest update all included with a Zephyr® subscription…
Pollution by Source
The first new feature of MyAir® means users in the UK now receive source apportionment for particulate matter (PM2.5), providing a breakdown of pollution sources and their contribution to PM2.5 emissions for any given location throughout the region.
Those wanting to identify sources impacting air quality levels are now able to do so and receive data for a range of contributors including transport; energy production; agriculture; domestic combustion; industrial combustion; industrial production; nature; offshore; solvent and waste.
With the MappAir® overlay on and by clicking on an area of interest on the map, users receive a graph with statistics for the total tonnes of PM2.5 emitted by each source per year.
A drop-down menu with each source is also available as part of the feature, providing further insight into each of their contribution. Once the source type has been selected on the menu, the map will update accordingly to outline areas around the UK experiencing the largest volumes of PM2.5 emitted by the source in question.
Estimates of source apportionment gives context to the long-term trends in air quality at a given location, adding another dimension to Zephyr® data to improve interpretation of the local environment. The air we breathe is a cocktail of necessary and superfluous molecules, determined at any given time by the local emissions and the built environment, land-use further afield, and chemical processes, diluted by meteorology and deposition surfaces. Source apportionment helps to detangle this complicated picture by providing estimates of several different types of emission sources, which can be used to focus management efforts to improve air quality.
Quick View MappAir® Timeseries
The quick view MappAir® timeseries feature helps to easily identify air quality levels for any pollutant by clicking on the point of interest. With the MappAir® overlay switched on and pollutant selected, users are able to select their location of concern and receive an index for the highest near real time (NRT) air quality level in the area.
In addition, clicking on the area of interest provides users with a graph which can be enlarged to receive 30 days of historic data and a 3-day forecast for the selected species. The graph can be interrogated further by clicking and dragging for a detailed understanding of pollution levels throughout the days of concern, which can also be downloaded. MappAir® Timeseries data can be used to identify trends and patterns in air pollution, helping to aid and inform effective interventions and decisions towards cleaner air.
Global MappAir® Layer
The MappAir® overlay is now available to global MyAir® users, providing air quality modelling for pollutants including sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10).
Using the MappAir® overlay, Zephyr® users can quickly identify real-time measurements alongside a visualisation of modelled concentrations for their given country for additional, wider context to measured sensor air quality levels.
We’ve also added a satellite image layer option to MyAir®, giving users a visual representation of their sensor locations in relation to surrounding areas.
Available to use with the additional layers on MyAir®, the satellite layer provides an image-based view for additional perspective to modelled and measured pollution concentrations and potential sources and hotspot locations.
Zephyr® Sensor Data Overlay
The Zephyr® overlay allows users to easy toggle on-off measured sensor data, providing an option for viewing real-time measurements against other available overlays, including the MappAir® model, satellite layer or AQMA layer.
Using a combination of the overlays, such as real-time Zephyr® measurements together with MappAir® data offers additional context to localised sensor measurements. Using this with the features available such as source apportionment, air quality can be identified and understood in significant detail for future decisions surrounding mitigation strategies.
Regional Meteorological Data
With the addition of meteorological data on the web app, MyAir® users now have the option of receiving information about wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity for their region when selecting a Zephyr® unit.
Joining up Zephyr® and meteorological data from NOAA provides a coherent, synoptic overview of prevailing weather conditions which may be the key determinant of regional air quality.
MappAir® Wind Rose
Similar to the regional meteorological data, MyAir® now comes with a wind rose available via the MappAir® overlay to showcase wind speed and direction. To use this feature, toggle the layer on and receive 30 days of historic wind frequency and speed data, highlighting the direction that species of gases and particulates are likely to be travelling and impacting local levels.
Soon to come will be the addition of data that can be used alongside the rose to identify the dispersion of each of the available pollution species, all of which carry differently in certain wind speeds. For example, nitric oxide (NO) is only present for a small amount of time in stable winds, meaning pollution exposure is lower than that of particulate matter PM2.5, which remains in the air for several days and subsequently increases the chances of exposure.
Unit Label Toggle
We’ve also improved the usability of the web app by adding the option to toggle on and off individual Zephyr® and Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN) labels.
Adding this option to MyAir® allows users to customise the view of their sensors on the map and choose which monitoring stations they want to see. Simply select the drop-down menu on the Zephyr® or AURN tab and toggle on or off to make use of the intuitive interface.
Temperature, Pressure and Humidity Graph
Available on MyAir® is a graph with data for temperature, pressure, and humidity for each sensor. We’ve now improved the graph by adding a secondary axis, allowing for comparisons between each factor to be easily performed.
The ability to carry out comparisons between each ensures external environmental factors which may be impacting air pollution levels are identified and understood.
Interested in learning more about using MyAir® to measure and model air quality?
We’re offering a FREE 1-2-1 demo of MyAir® with one of the EarthSense team, allowing those interested to learn more about the web app and its newest features. Available for a limited time only, you can find out more by getting in touch with us at www.earthsense.co.uk/contact or call us on +44 (0) 116 296 7460!

Whoops! Avatar Sequels Not As Anticipated As Numbers Would Lead
We’ve heard rumors and the epicness will hit screens in 2018!
James Cameron, director of Avatar which is currently considered the highest grossing movie of all time, has recently announced not just three, but four action packed adventures to still come on his created world of Pandora at CinemaCon. The original film blew expectations out of the water back in 2009. Many critics were completely against the predictions of the film’s success. Yet Cameron was able to shut many of them up with the stunning visualizations throughout his movie that captivated audiences in theaters everywhere.
Originally “Avatar 2” was to be filmed in 2014 and released in 2016. Yet the movie’s production and release was delayed due to the belief by many of its core members that they wanted to allow the film industries technology to develop a little more to the level their vision would require. The cutting edge technology the sequels are to be displayed on is only available in theaters for the majority however and will no doubt severely dampen take home sales for the series.
The main focus and biggest pulling factor for fans everywhere of the franchise is not in the story set in the first movie but the stunning visual presentations is gave and the incredible world it has opened up to people. The majestic scenery and imaginative beasts and people that call the world of Pandora home captured many people’s attentions. Sadly images are easily and quickly forgotten and the hype for the movie’s sequels has continued a constant decline. This could of course be due to nearly a ten year gap in the release of the upcoming “Avatar 2” and its predecessor.
The movie series has also hurt its ability to possibly create a stream of book revenue through publication. Even the most talented of writers would struggle to convey through the written word the sheer amount of detail and even “magic” that can be shown on the big screen. That’s not to say however that the following sequels won’t be a success and Cameron very well could tackle these new challenges in incredible ways.
The development of the story line and an increase in the connection between viewer and its main characters may really complete the story and could put the finishing touches on Cameron’s attempt to convey the dynamic world he has in his head to his audiences. The rest of the series has already been lain out in plan for its release dates. Whether the schedule will be followed is still yet to be seen. While it has been many years since Avatar recently made its debut there are still many of us out here waiting with held breath to see what Cameron and his crew have in store waiting for us on our next visit to Pandora.

Among the numerous bizarre facets of the Guantánamo Bay prison saga is the classification of people’s memories as state secrets. For years, Guantánamo prisoners who were held in CIA secret prisons known as “black sites” could not publicly discuss their experiences and memories of their captivity. The US government argues that, in doing so, the prisoners would reveal classified information about the CIA’s torture program, such as the names of interrogators, the locations of facilities and the torture techniques that were used.
For years, it was almost impossible to discuss the issue of torture openly in the military commissions because so many details were allowed to be kept secret. However, the December 2014 release of the Senate report on the CIA torture program has forced the US government to relax its position on keeping former CIA prisoners’ memories classified.
Since the Senate report declassified several aspects of the CIA’s torture report, it is now easier for defense attorneys to discuss how their clients were abused by the agency. Overall, the release of the report has shifted the precedent, making it harder for the government to keep a tight lid on the program. However, this does not mean full transparency has been achieved – much information about the torture program that should be public will remain classified.
The first person to test the US government’s new limits is Majid Khan, a US resident of Pakistani origin who was captured by Pakistan authorities in 2003, handed over to the CIA, held in secret prisons and transferred to Guantánamo Bay in 2006. He remains detained at Guantánamo. Where exactly Khan was captured and held remains classified.
According to an extensive Reuters report by journalist David Rohde, “Khan’s account is contained in 27 pages of interview notes his lawyers compiled over the past seven years. The US government cleared the notes for release last month through a formal review process.” Khan, whose account became public last month, said he was subjected by the government to a form of anal rape called “rectal feeding,” as well as waterboarding, loud music and sleep deprivation. He said that guards hung him naked from poles and held his head underwater. According to the Senate report and previous disclosures, these torture tactics were not only used on Khan; they were par for the course for the nearly 120 men held in CIA black sites around the world – of whom at least 26 were wrongfully held (they did not even meet the CIA’s own detention standard). They were beaten; slammed into walls; put in stress positions; and subjected to several forms of humiliation, torture and abuse.
Parts of Khan’s account include forms of abuse that were not disclosed in the Senate torture report, such as interrogators frequently touching and pouring ice water on his genitals and videotaping him naked. Additionally, Reuters pointed out, “Khan said his feet and lower legs were placed in tall, boot-like metal cuffs that dug into his flesh and immobilized his legs. He said he felt that his legs would break if he fell forward while restrained by the cuffs.”
One of Khan’s worst torture experiences occurred during a May 2003 interrogation session. As Reuters described:
“[G]uards stripped him naked, hung him from a wooden beam for three days and provided him with water but no food. The only time he was removed from the beam was on the afternoon of the first day, when interrogators shackled him, placed a hood over his head and lowered him into a tub of ice water.
An interrogator then forced Khan’s head underwater until he feared he would drown. The questioner pulled Khan’s head out of the water, demanded answers to questions and again dunked his head underwater, the detainee said. Guards also poured water and ice from a bucket onto Khan’s mouth and nose.
Khan was again hung on the pole hooded and naked. Every two to three hours, interrogators hurled ice water on his body and set up a fan to blow air on him, depriving him of sleep, he said. Once, after hanging on the pole for two days, Khan began hallucinating, thinking he was seeing a cow and a giant lizard.”
Khan said he experiences regular panic attacks because of his time in CIA captivity. Khan’s horrific account is a harbinger of what will be revealed if more CIA torture victims’ accounts are declassified and made public.
The classification of former CIA prisoners’ memories has been a major point of contention raised by defense attorneys in the Guantánamo military commissions. All the defendants in the commissions cases were held in CIA black sites. In 2013, James Connell, defense attorney for 9/11 case defendant Ammar al-Baluchi, and other Guantánamo defense lawyers filed a motion to declassify their clients’ thoughts and memories of CIA torture. Defense attorneys have long argued that the details of their clients’ captivity in CIA black sites – their memories, including the torture they experienced – should be able to serve as mitigating evidence, since torture is illegal under US and international law.
Whether Khan’s disclosure will impact the other military commissions cases – the five alleged 9/11 plotters and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the suspected mastermind of the USS Cole bombing in 2000 – is uncertain, largely due to the system’s separate classification review process. Just because Khan was able to publicly discuss his treatment in CIA captivity does not mean the other Guantánamo defendants will be able to do so immediately. US Navy Commander Walter Ruiz, defense attorney for 9/11 case defendant Mustafa al-Hawsawi, explained to Truthout, “If I wanted to, at this point, provide anything that wasn’t in the Senate report or anything that hasn’t been declassified – and for Mr. Hawsawi, there’s nothing else other than what was seen in the Senate report – we would have to submit it through a classification review and have somebody look at that and come back and say, ‘It’s no longer classified’ so we can talk about it.”
Another factor in the US government allowing Khan to publicly discuss his memories of CIA confinement, according to Ruiz, is that Khan’s case is closer to sentencing than the 9/11 or al-Nashiri cases. In February 2012, Khan struck a plea bargain with the US government. In exchange for pleading guilty to “five war crimes, including murder, attempter murder and spying,” according to The Washington Post, and testifying against other detainees in the military commission trials, Khan will serve no more than 19 years in Guantánamo.
Ruiz did say Khan being allowed to discuss his memories of CIA torture is a positive development and could help the other Guantánamo defense attorneys in their efforts to make their clients’ stories public. “I think that it’s a step in the right direction,” he said, adding that if more people are able to disclose their memories, it will open up new possibilities for litigation and accountability.
However, Ruiz pointed out that full accountability and transparency are “very far away.” The full Senate report on the CIA torture program is over 6,000 pages, but the only part that has been declassified is a summary of over 520 pages. Ruiz said the government continues to withhold information contained in the full report from defense lawyers.
The US government can declassify records in two ways – either by declassifying an entire document and letting the public see it or declassifying a portion or summary of the document’s information. When the government does the latter, “what they’re really doing is picking the information they want to declassify and the remaining information remains classified,” explained Ruiz. For example, the CIA blacked out numerous words in its declassification review process of the Senate report, such as names of covert officers, number of CIA employees, agency expenditures and salaries, foreign government liaisons and locations of secret prisons. Ruiz also told Truthout that when his team asked for medical records of CIA black sites, they were not given the actual records but summaries of the records instead. As a result, the public got a sanitized version of what the government is doing.
Photos of CIA Black Sites
Even though the US government is allowing Khan to publicly discuss his time in CIA captivity, other details of the agency’s torture program remain secret, including photographic evidence of the black sites.
While reviewing material collected for the Senate report on the CIA torture program, government prosecutors discovered around 14,000 photographs of former CIA black sites, The Washington Post reported recently. Most of the pictures “depict black sites in Thailand, Afghanistan and Poland,” with “fewer shots of prisons in Romania and Lithuania,” according to the Post. The photographs show internal and external views of the secret prisons but do not show the detainee interrogations and torture. However, the cache does contain “images of naked detainees during transport” and “photographs of confinement boxes.”
Among the cache are images of the notorious, dark, dungeon-like “Salt Pit“ prison in Afghanistan where one detainee, Gul Rahman, died of hypothermia in CIA custody. Before he died, during his captivity, the CIA cut off Gul Rahman’s clothes, dragged him naked across the dirt floor, and hooded, slapped and punched him. As part of the CIA’s de rigueur, detainees in the “Salt Pit” were regularly stripped of their clothing, forced to walk around naked in humiliation, hosed down while naked, place in rooms with cold temperatures, subjected to blaring music, deprived of sleep, put in stress positions and water-boarded.
Khaled al-Masri, a German and Lebanese citizen, was detained and tortured by the CIA for four months in Salt Pit. In January 2004, the CIA released al-Masri after admitting they captured the wrong guy. Al-Masri later stated that Majid Khan was detained with him in the “Salt Pit”.
The Post added that also “among the photographs are images of [Abu] Zubaydah shortly after he was captured in 2002; he was wounded in the leg during a shootout with Pakistani security forces. The pictures show his injury. Later shots show him wearing an eye patch.”
Abu Zubaydah, a Saudi citizen of Palestinian descent, was suspected by the US government of being a top al-Qaeda leader. He was captured by CIA and FBI agents, working with Pakistani intelligence, in Pakistan in March 2002. For four years, Zubaydah was detained in CIA black sites – with the exception of a brief detention in Guantánamo – and tortured in various ways, including wall slamming, waterboarding 83 times, sleep deprivation, forced nudity and stress positions, and confinement in small boxes.
According to the Senate report, Zubaydah lost his eye in CIA custody, but how he lost it remains a mystery. The CIA’s torture of Zubaydah produced little valuable information, and the US government later realized it overestimated his role in al-Qaeda. In fact, Zubaydah was never even a member of al-Qaeda. He did work at Khalden – a training camp for Arab mujahideen fighting the Soviet Union – but Zubaydah’s main responsibility was filing paperwork for trainees. Moreover, Khalden was independent from al-Qaeda and the Taliban. In 2006, Zubaydah was transferred to Guantánamo, which is where he remains detained without charge.
Additionally, the “pictures also show CIA personnel and members of foreign intelligence services, as well as psychologists Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell, among the architects of the interrogation program.” Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell are two psychologists who taught classes in Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape (SERE) – a program that teaches US military personnel how to survive, resist torture and evade capture by enemy forces. After 9/11, Jessen and Mitchell were contracted by the CIA to develop an interrogation program, and the two psychologists reverse-engineered SERE techniques into torture tactics used by the CIA. Thus, Jessen and Mitchell analyzed and twisted a program designed for survival training into a project designed for a very different purpose: torture.
Rather than just extracting intelligence for preventing terrorist attacks, a key purpose of the CIA torture program was exploitation: turning detainees into informants for the US government and eliciting false confessions that the Bush administration used as “intelligence” for the war in Iraq.
One person who knows Jessen and Mitchell is Capt. Michael Kearns, a retired US Air Force intelligence officer who also taught SERE, and he is appalled at his former colleagues’ use of the program in developing the CIA torture techniques. Kearns told Truthout, “SERE is a program for teaching survival and should never allow … ‘gross uncorrected failure,’ while Dr Bruce Jessen’s ‘Exploitation Plan’ (which has yet to be declassified) was exactly the opposite – exploitation at its worst.”
One person subjected to such exploitation was Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, who was held in a CIA black site in Afghanistan and sent to Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania and Morocco to also be tortured by those governments. During his time in Egyptian custody, al-Libi claimed the Iraqi government had ties with al-Qaeda, which included explosives and chemical weapons training – claims he later recanted and admitted he fabricated to escape the torture. However, al-Libi’s claims were used by the Bush administration to support invading Iraq. Al-Libi died in a Libyan prison in May 2009.
Meanwhile, the architects of the program stood to gain significantly by its implementation. “Worst of all,” Kearns said, “Mitchell, Jessen and Associates profited handsomely in this brutality.” In March 2005, during their contract with the CIA, Jessen and Mitchell formed a consulting firm called Mitchell, Jessen & Associates. The CIA paid the company $81 million for its services. That does not include the money the CIA gave Jessen and Mitchell for their torture expertise before they formed the company and were paid a daily rate.
As attorneys, advocates and journalists piece together what happened at the CIA black sites, the photographs taken there are valuable pieces of evidence. However, defense attorneys were not informed of the photographs. Regarding the pictures, Connell told the Washington Post, “If pictures from black sites exist, they are crime scene photographs,” adding, “The military commission rules require the prosecution to turn them over to the defense, but federal and international prosecutors should also get a copy – not to mention the public.”
Secrecy of CIA Torture and Police Brutality
Beating and torturing people in one’s custody behind a veil of secrecy is not just the domain of the CIA and US military, but also of the police. One man who exemplifies this connection is Chicago-detective-turned-Guantánamo-interrogator Richard Zuley, who was profiled in an extensive Guardian investigative series.
From 1977 to 2007, Richard Zuley was a detective on Chicago’s North Side. He was also a US Navy reserve lieutenant, who occasionally performed intelligence and counterterrorism work for the military upon request.
As a Chicago detective, Zuley was notorious for torturing and abusing suspects – most often poor and working-class people of color – to yield confessions, “even while ignoring potentially exculpatory evidence,” according to the Guardian investigation. Zuley’s abusive interrogation tactics include shackling suspects to walls for long periods of time, threatening to harm family members, pressuring suspects to implicate themselves and others, threatening the death penalty and possibly planting evidence.
In late 2002, Zuley was sent to Guantánamo as a liaison officer for the US European Command and was later tasked with leading a special interrogation team. To interrogate detainees in Guantánamo, Zuley utilized many of the brutal techniques he used in Chicago. In fact, as the Guardian pointed out, Zuley’s interrogation plan was personally cleared by then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. One man Zuley tortured was Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who gives his personal testimony in the book Guantánamo Diary. Zuley lied and told Slahi that the prisoner’s mother was detained, and if he did not cooperate, she would be sent to Guantánamo as the only woman prisoner – which Slahi’s lawyers considered to be a rape threat. Slahi ultimately succumbed to the torture and told interrogators what they wanted to hear, even though he had nothing to admit.
According to the Guardian, “After Zuley took over in July 2003, Slahi was subjected to even more extreme interrogation tactics: multiple death threats, extreme temperatures, sleep deprivation and a terrifying nighttime boat ride in which he was made to believe that worse was in store.” Slahi remains in Guantánamo and has never been charged.
Both the CIA and US police have a tradition of evading transparency and accountability for their actions. In November 2005, then-head of the CIA’s clandestine service, Jose Rodriguez (who, before that, was chief of staff of the agency’s Counterterrorism Center shortly after 9/11 to 2004), destroyed dozens of videotapes showing CIA interrogators torturing Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri at a black site in Thailand. After retiring in 2007, Rodriguez still defends his actions – both torture and destroying the tapes.
Though the memories of police abuse survivors are not explicitly classified, they are very often ignored or categorically denied. However, now that more people have cellphone cameras, documented evidence is becoming more available – and more stories are coming to light. Ruiz, who also worked as a defense lawyer in the domestic judicial system, told Truthout that videos and images of police violence confirm what lawyers like him have known for years, after repeatedly “hearing the stories of the abused.” The prevalence of people with camera phones taping police violence, says Ruiz, means “people are now able to see, with their own eyes, the abuses of power.”
Ruiz said this trend of increased visibility ties into why Rodriguez destroyed the CIA torture tapes. Rodriguez “understood that people could never see that. Because if anybody were able to see that, there would be a backlash. …That’s why there is a push to keep things hidden, out of the view of the general public eye, because of what you’ve seen in the police sector and their brutality and excessive power.” Seeing pictures or video of police violence, torture or other acts of state brutality has a bigger impact on people’s perceptions than merely hearing about it, he said.
The connecting thread between the US torture program and police brutality, according to Ruiz, is “power, lack of accountability, impunity and arrogance, too.” Regardless of whether memories of torture victims are “classified,” the larger culture of secrecy impedes accountability for CIA torture abroad and police brutality at home.

Natural Childbirth - Road to Health
I was awakened to the ease of natural birth in a hospital when I was about 7 years old. I witnessed a village woman who was shouting at the top of her voice protesting her forced hospitalization after childbirth. She was washing her clothes when she went into labour and delivered a child. Her mother in law helped her cut the cord and cleaned both child and mother. Then she went back to washing her clothes. Her horrified husband had admitted her forcibly into the hospital. She created a ruckus and was discharged pronto.
In the year 2010 I was on a tour to Andhra Pradesh and met a group of village birth attendants in Medhak district. They told me how they prepared the mothers for delivery with food and massages and how the delivery was in sitting and standing positions for ease. I interviewed new mothers and they said they were highly satisfied. The doctors in PHCs of the district told me how these attendants had opened their minds about natural birth and they too allowed natural birth in their PHCs if people went there. They came gave birth and were gone within hours. Even among the few cases they referred to the CHC many had normal birth under supervision.
The birth attendants were well versed about traditional ways of pain management that modern doctors should know too. If people are interested they can contact DDS Hyderabad to know more. The women managed agriculture and millets programmes of DDS ensure all round nutrition for the mothers and also empower them.
Since then I have associated with tribal in Odisha who too don't feel birth is an issue. Why have things changed now? The major factor is deterioration in health and vitality. The health of our ancestors is no longer visible today. The other of course is mainstream fear mongering about the process and mismanagement. Even the WHO has come to recognize that caesarean sections are a menace and take place for profit.
There is nothing romantic about natural birth. Nor about organic food and lifestyle. They were normal since human beings appeared on earth. They have been turned abnormal because there is money in artificial. This is the truth. The child loses out tremendously in the process of caesareans unable to inherit its mothers microbiome and the first milk. It also has to deal with all the medications given to the mother which are passed via the breast milk. Such a baby can never be healthy.
Today studies show a baby born at home has a richer and healthier microbiome than one born out of home. There is a study to show how the body learns through a difficult childbirth and rectifies the problems in a subsequent one. Institution births are encouraged so children can be shot up with vaccines. Modern medicine completely negates the healing power of the body to impose itself. It is not a system of medicine. It is a business plan that thrives on ill health and misery.
The biochemical model of health no longer holds true. It has been replaced by extensive work on the microbiome, mycobiome, epigenetics, and new discoveries like the role of the appendix, extension of the lymphatic system to the brain, the interstitium, and the role of the mucosal system, gut microbiome, and lymphatic system in immunity. Thus we have entered an era where we acknowledge biology to be the main driver.
We are just 43% human and 57% composed of trillions of external cells that connect us to the environment and perform vital physical, mental and emotional functions. We are also gaining insight into the role of mitochondrial energy as a driver of organs and their functions. There is also seeping in the knowledge of alkaline and acidic mediums and the importance of the circadian rhythm that extends beyond timely functions to the full life cycle. From conception to death we follow such a cycle.
All of this point towards a totality that is in sharp contrast to the reductionist viewpoint. How do modern concepts affect the totality? Let us start with pregnancy. Earlier the MD's who were not specialists tended to accord the highest respect to this state, careful not to medicate. Nutrition and routine activity coupled with evening walks was recommended.
We know about the placenta barrier. This barrier is today breached and made porous thanks to mercury, aluminium and Polysorbate 80 in the two tetanus shots given to pregnant women. Consequently all medications directed at them reach the foetus - a forbidden territory. Today we also know how the ultrasounds women are subjected to impacts the foetus.
The process of normal childbirth is a cathartic which releases precious hormones in the mother. These hormones take care of the many problems associated with childbirth and may even correct a breach as observed. The passage of the baby through the normal channel compresses all fluids out of it, clears the lungs, and also seeds it with vital microbes that shape its future health. If we preserve the coating on the baby instead of washing it instantly, allow the full cord blood to flow into it, and retain the placental connection for a little more time we do a great service to the baby.
A caesarean childbirth is convenient but is a great loss to health as far as the baby is concerned. Hospital births also ensure a not so safe environment and force the supine position that is not really a birth position. After caesarean the mother is not in a position always to deliver the first colostrum robbing the baby of vital nutrients. The medicines directed at the mother passes on to the infant further affecting its health. In a hospital the infant is also exposed to a not so friendly microbiome. The mother may continue to be medicated depending on the complications after surgery.
Thus home based natural births accompanied by common sense trained attendants are now being preferred by those knowledgeable who wish to preserve their health and also that of the new born.

While Miami bore much of the brunt of the real estate collapse – especially our downtown district, which was overweighted with new condo units – it seems we’ve begun what looks to be a rather robust recovery.
A recent report from the Miami Downtown Development Authority and Goodkin Consulting/Focus Real Estate Advisors found that despite the common misconception that downtown Miami is still a ghost town, 74 percent of the 22,079 urban condominium units built since 2003 are currently occupied – a full 20% increase in less than a year. What’s more, the increased saturation in residency is driving a drastic expansion in retail businesses, restaurants, and nightlife, leading to a current retail vacancy rate of only 5.06%, which is among the five lowest in the nation. (For the full report, click here.)
Long story short, downtown Miami’s not dead; in fact, far from it! The Miami Herald reported this startling news today in a front-page story entitled “New life in downtown Miami as condos fill up: Condos in downtown Miami are no longer ghost towns as young professionals move in and drive new business to area stores and restaurants.” Read the full story here.
And to see what all the buzz is about, you can access the Miami Downtown Development Authority’s City Guide, which lists all the restaurants, clubs, bars, spas, gyms, and shops around town. Download the guide here. See you around town!

Text/ Golden Word Channel The most evil programs in China are definitely "You Are You". , as a job search program, "You Are You" did not explode because of the job seekers, but was well known because of the poor ending of the bosses. Chen Hao, the former programmer of the program and the founder of the victory education, has now become the target of debt collection on the entire network. Yin Feng, CEO of the coffee wings, exited the New Third Board and was listed as a dishonest executor. Today, Shen Dongjun, the founder of jewelry giant Lai Shen, was swept out. First divorced his wife, and was divided into nearly 400 million yuan. The overbearing president and Jewelry industry Jobs was "kicked" out of his own company, which is the worst boss. On January 10, in the decision of the board of directors of the psychic jewelry, Shen Dongjun submitted a written resignation report and personally sent the big sister -in -law to the throne of the chairman. The reports that during the meeting, Shen Dongjun wanted to speak and was interrupted by the new chairman. It should know that Lai Shen's spirituality of the Shen Dong army is a child who has done his best for more than 20 years. Now he can only make people. The people said that when Shen Dongjun was a poor boy, when he married the golden king of Emerald, the ending was already doomed. but Shen Dongjun's entrepreneurial experience is far from the words "beyond". The poor boy married the rich and became the strongest "beyond" The people may not know the Shen Dong army of Lai Shen's spirit, but they must know the overbearing president Shen Dongjun. It in the idol drama "Clarks", the overbearing president of the tree Dili Reba was called Shen Dongjun. In the on -the -work reality show "You You Are You", Shen Dongjun is one of the most active bosses in the BOSS regiment. He bids the local tyrants, the boss, and the host. Overbearing president and handsomeness are the image of Shen Dongjun's hard work on the screen. But 25 years ago, the label posted on Shen Dongjun was: "eating soft rice" and "beyond". 1969 Shen Dongjun was originally the most ordinary worker. It graduated from middle school and worked hard in the society, and is responsible for ticketing at a travel agency under Nanjing Airlines. Until he was 27 years old, with his handsome appearance, he captured the "Emerald King". The love story of poor kids and Fu Qianjin allowed Shen Dongjun to realize the class leapfrogging and relying on the face value. At the time of getting married, Shen Dongjun also had some bones on his body. In order to avoid having to eat soft rice, he resigned and opened a Kodak Express Shop. The reality quickly gave him a slap. His express printing shop did not make money. He was discouraged that he broke the can and broke the can. many years later he recalled this experience on the TV screen and said: "That's the hardest time in life. but Shen Dongjun is a natural ambitionist. After his wife Ma Qiao, he got the big sister -in -law Ma Jun and persuaded him to start a business with himself. The Shen Dong army changed his life for the second time, making himself "the strongest". In the 22 -square -meter office building on the Jewelry Street, two counters were rented and starting to sell emeralds. The Shendong Army rode a motorcycle every day to send leaflets in the bowling alley, jewelry shop, and large shopping mall. After the effect was not good, he used three moves and successfully counterattacked. Even if these three moves are now nuclear weapons. First, create his own core competitiveness. Video Ma Chongren is a well -known jewelry and jade expert in the industry. It is called "Emerald King". He has the most powerful endorsement of the emerald shop. Promoting his fame and more effort. Secondly, aiming at the "lowest price" and vigorously marketing. Shen Dongjun has seen the huge profits of the jade industry. On the other hand, the psychic jewelry must "reduce the price to the end", on the other hand, it promises to return the goods for ten and seven days. relying on these two points, Shen Dongjun caused a large earthquake on the jewelry street. Relying on the god -level public relations, on the peak. because of grabbing someone else's rice bowl, Shen Dongjun's counter was not only posted with a note: "Roll out the jewelry street", there are various threats. horses Jun wanted to call the police, but Shen Dongjun stopped it. He not only did not call the police, but also found the media to spread. At all, the shop's reputation rose and turned danger. In order to avoid revenge, they decisively switched. In 1999, Shen Dongjun and Ma Jun established Jiangsu Tongling Jewelry Co., Ltd. in the form of 50%of the shares, which mainly engaged in diamonds. The year of opening, people scrambled to line up to buy diamonds. Come to Nanjing to scan the goods in cash, and the drawers are full of cash when the checkout. Jobs in the jewelry industry, the favorite and the people to dry So happy. It at the time of the equity distribution at that time, although the Ma family supported Shen Dongjun's entrepreneurial, the real purpose was to help the eldest son Ma Jun, the company was more like the family business of the Ma family. So so so For a long time, Shen Dongjun has been trying to tear off the label of the deeds. How can I tear off the label of the deeds? The method of Shen Dongjun is to keep a new label to himself. 1. Change the explosive master of the jewelry industry The phrase "Diamond is long and long, a forever spread" has made women all over the world crazy. It was Dobels as a "godfather", and made three explosive products by creating the concept and changed the jewelry industry. 2001, Shen Dongjun mentioned The concept of "psychic jewelry -Belgian high -quality cutting diamonds" is bundled with psychic jewelry with Belgium, adding a BUFF with "cutting good = quality" to the diamond. The Belgium -cutting of Ling Jewelry, transforming 57 traditional diamond surfaces into 87 cutting surfaces, and defining diamond fire. I even the "diamond fire color" is still a hard condition for girls to choose diamonds. An tasted the sweetness, Shen Dongjun began to open crazy in marketing, and the explosive products were frequent. In order to make the psychic more expensive, Shen Dongjun found Digma, the director of marketing arts in the Berlin Film Festival, and smashed the heavy money to become the official partner of the Berlin Film Festival, creating a "blue flame" series for red carpet stars. The "blue flame" quickly became a explosion. International superstars such as Uma Suman, Andy McDower, Zhang Ziyi, etc. were loyal users, and sales increased directly by 30%. In 2013, Shen Dongjun aimed at the "royal family", using the concept of "royal family cherishes, for the next generation of treasures", telling the love story of Queen Matteld, Belgium. The tears touched by the little girl, the psychic jewelry launched the two series of products of the "Royal Museum" and "Queen", which hollowed out the men's wallet. In 2015, the Belgian royal family awarded Shen Dongjun the "Leo Pood Officer -level King's Medal", so that the psychic jewelry and royal nobles were completely tied to death. In these three explosive diamonds, the Shen Dong army became "Jobs in the jewelry industry". 2. The overbearing president of the Dream Performing Arts Circle is different from the domineering president of the Huang Jiaozhu. The handsome and golden Shen Dongjun, aimed at the entertainment industry, went to battle in person, while doing brand propaganda for the company, while dreaming of the performing arts circle. In 2013, Shen Dongjun participated in the workplace reality show "You You Are You". As one of the most active bosses in the BOSS group, Shen Dongjun with a sharp speech and the pricing of a local tyrant with an annual salary of 300,000 colleges became at that time. One of the popular topics. In "You You", Shen Dongjun and the bosses grabbed talents at a high salary, and donated 140,000 to the villagers to build a breeding wild boar base in "The Boss Transformation". During the two years, Shen Dongjun participated in seven variety shows, along the way along the Battlefield, and fighting on the front line of brand propaganda and current affairs comments. In 2015, Pingling Jewelry spent 5.66 million yuan in "Clarks Lovers", only for the name of the jewelry company and shooting venue in the play. After , Shen Dongjun established the diamond film industry and invested tens of millions of filming of "Emerald Lovers", "August Weiyang" and "Return to the World" and other film and television dramas. Shen Dongjun also guest appearances. It with the ability of the banknote, Shen Dongjun became the idol boss on the screen. but Shen Dongjun completely teared off the label of the "Resessive", or after divorcing his wife. The successful ambitionist, the failed entrepreneur CEO marketing is a double -edged sword. After shaping the perfection, it is more likely to be dragged into the quagmire. In on the stage of "You You Are You", because of the love story of the player, Shen Dongjun once burst into tears, and the person of his wife's president was also deeply rooted in people's hearts. But with the removal of the horse in 2019, it also broke the news that there were many lace news in Shen Dongjun. In addition, the internal fighting that followed made Shen Dongjun completely become a lone wolf in the mall. It Shen Dongjun's dilemma today is because of being a deed? Obviously not. After getting rid of the label of "Resessing", Shen Dongjun began to go downhill. The big reason behind Shen Dongjun's defeat today is that he is too narcissistic. In "You You", when Shen Dongjun appeared as a business idol, the host introduced him: he likes to be chant, likes to be praised. This words, showing that Shen Dongjun has always been a narcissistic person. It in Zhihu, some employees spit out. Shen Dongjun launched the Shendong Army Six questions. The employees spent 40% of the time in this corporate culture. They memorized their feelings every day, and they had to take the exam. The employees were miserable. The Shen Dongjun was still in his own home and opened a school like an ancient private school- "Dongshitang". "Dongcangtang" selects 20 students in each period, last class every two months, two days, two days, from Newton to Darwin, and then to Yin and Yang. The netizens vomited, he positioned himself not the boss, but the existence of God. The narcissism of Shen Dongjun is also manifested in his absolute right to speak in the company. "Return to the World for You" by Shen Dong's body and chief producer, producer, and actor, was talked about "this is a urban drama where dog blood and showing wealth are flying together." The Douban score is only 3.5 points. Essence Faced with criticism, Shen Dongjun said: This is the image that deliberately shaped. In 2017, Shen Dongjun was determined to acquire the Belgian century -old jewelry brand Leysen for the "noble blood", and gave up the original brand name and renamed Lai Shen Ping Ling. It at that time, the Ma family and the executive team unanimously opposed it. Shen Dongjun argued that the biggest flaw of the psychic jewelry was the "bloodline" incorrect. The "noble blood" of Leysen was grafted, and the short board was added. In this blood theory, what is the theory of blood? Inside, the company's vice president, chairman of the board of supervisors, CFO and other executives resigned one after another. In abroad, in the first half of 2019, Lai Shen Tongling closed a total of 100 stores in the country, evaporating more than 7 billion yuan a year. The executives of Ling Ling have complained, "What do you do, you can't meet his requirements." The Shen Dongjun is narcissistic to the extreme, but he can't hold sand in his eyes. The ex -wife Shen Dongjun once said that he had a heavy retaliation and many veterans who left the company, and he cleared all of them. When their husband and wife tear and fight each other, they directly brought the big sister -in -law to the court; Shen Dongjun sent more than ten Weibo in a row to report the real name of the Ma Jun and his wife to occupy the company's property; After the court's decision to divorce, the Nanjing Court also publicized. Under his narcissistic management, since 2017, Lai Shen's performance has gradually declined. After the internal fighting in 2018, he fell to the bottom. The Shen Dongjun is a successful ambitionist and a successful entrepreneur. However, as a manager, when you are narcissistic to let employees sang themselves, the ending is destined when the opponent cannot be allowed. In the "V whus" program, Shen Dongjun said: If you want to change his life with the eldest company, he must change his life. Lai Shen Tongling is a life for Shen Dongjun. The Shen Dongjun, who lost half of his life, wanted to come back to Dongshan, and the sword brother said: The employees can worship the boss, the boss can be narcissistic, but the mall only believes in strength.

SAN JOSE, Calif.
|Smith made his debut Thursday, skating more than 19-minutes in the Wings 5-2 loss to the Sharks. (Getty Images) |
– It comes just once in a lifetime – if it comes at all – for a young professional hockey player. And that time, Brendan Smith
hopes, will be a memorable one for him and his family when he makes his NHL debut in a game against the Sharks tonight at HP Pavilion.
“I called mom and dad and they were more excited than I was,” said Smith, a suburban Toronto native. “They’ve gone through all of the think-and-thin with me as well, so I think it’s a testament to them too. They’re all excited.”
His family was so thrilled by the news that his parents Lester and Deirdre, and older brother Rory, booked a last-minute flight from Toronto to the Bay Area, with hopes of arriving to the arena just before game time.
“They caught a flight this morning,” said Smith, who was the Wings’ first-round draft pick in 2007. “They said that they’ll leave me alone before the game and then talk to me after.”
There won’t be any wasted words on the ice either tonight between Smith or his defensive partner, Niklas Kronwall
“I’ve practiced with him, obviously, and have also watched him in camp last year and this year, he talks a lot out there and makes it easy for his teammates,” said Kronwall, in his eighth NHL season. “I think he’ll be just fine.”
The anticipation of playing in his first NHL game has been overwhelming at times for Smith, which is far different from many players who usually are thrust into the lineup upon their call-up.
Smith learned of his call-up last Sunday after Ian White
suffered a fractured cheekbone that prevented the veteran defenseman from making the west coast trip. But before Smith could be inserted into the lineup tonight he had to serve the last of an eight-game NHL suspension, which he did Tuesday in St. Louis.
“You just got thrown in there and there was no time to think about it whatsoever,” said Kronwall, referring to his first NHL game in Dec. 2003. “I think Brendan’s been waiting for this day to come. He’s been looking really good in practice, he’s been working really hard and I think he’s ready, no doubt.”
Smith, 22, will become the second Wings’ prospect to make his NHL debut this season. Forward Gustav Nyquist
played in his first league game on Nov. 1.
Besides taking regular shifts with Kronwall tonight, Smith – who replaces Mike Commodore in lineup – will also see some power-play time opposite of captain Nicklas Lidstrom
“Nick likes to play on his forehand-side and Smith likes to play on his off-side,” Wings coach Mike Babcock said, “so we’ll see what happens.”
Babcock said that he doesn’t expect Smith to play outside of his comfort zone, but doesn’t want him to be timid, either.
“Get the puck going, and skate and be assertive. Be confident. That’s the kind of kid he is anyway,” Babcock said. “Play your game and we’ll deal with it from there. Don’t come out here and be cautious and be careful. Just play and get the puck going and get it going for us.”
Undoubtedly, butterflies and nervousness will be something Smith must deal with once the team returns to HP Pavilion later this afternoon. It’s just part of the debut process, defenseman Jonathan Ericsson
, whose first game was in Calgary in Feb. 2008.
“I remember I was very excited for that first game,” Ericsson said. “I didn’t think that I was very nervous at first, but then with about two-minutes before we went out onto the ice is when it hit me. He’s going to be nervous, but I think that’s a good think.
“The nerves will go away and he will be more confident as the game goes on.”

Japan considers raising cap on inbound travelers to 30,000 a day
Japan’s government is considering raising the cap on inbound travelers to 30,000 a day at the end of this month. That’s according to Jiji Press, which says there’s also a proposal to eliminate that cap altogether.
Japan limits the number of travelers allowed into the country — including Japanese citizens returning from travel overseas, such as Hawaiʻi.
Last week, the cap on arrivals was raised from 10,000 to 20,000.
Eric Takahata is the managing director of Hawaiʻi Tourism Japan, a marketing arm of the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority.
He says those moves will have a direct impact on travel to Hawaiʻi.
“With these relaxed or eased border restrictions, that allows people to travel from Japan here to Hawaiʻi more and more. And so, the cap has gone up, which means more people can come out and return to Japan," Takahata told HPR's The Conversation.
"Then as we see the summer going on, we see that cap being lifted — and hopefully completely eliminated and that will allow the free travel of Japanese nationals to be able to come to Hawaiʻi," he said.
Takahata was also part of a delegation from Hawaiʻi that accompanied Gov. David Ige to Tokyo last month.
The group met with government and industry officials to encourage increased travel to Hawaiʻi.

On a different tack the Bel Tel recently published a second article showing unionists in government in a more favourable light. This time it’s an article by Prof Graham Walker of QUB on the 70th anniversary of the the passage of the 1947 Education Act. Would that today’s Stormont could agree on effective measures to replace that Act’s 11 plus and advance the cause of genuinely secular integrated education. But in its time the ’47 Act was a real advance and its legacy survives today. I among many was a real beneficiary of its early years. But Walker G ( no relation) stretches the point.
The significance of the Act today might lie in how it relates to the conventional narrative of unionist rule in Northern Ireland.
The 1947 Act, in effect, subverts that narrative: it was socially progressive, fair and beneficial to the Catholic minority.
It is often remarked that the leaders of the civil rights movement in the 1960s – such as John Hume, Austin Currie and Bernadette Devlin – formed a new generation of political activists who had taken the opportunities of higher-level, university education.
It was, indeed, the discrepancy between such social improvements and the remaining petty, discriminatory and hide-bound attitudes and actions of unionists in control of some local authorities that strengthened the case for equal rights and opportunities for all citizens in whatever part of the UK they happened to reside.
The Act was not pushed through without difficulty or controversy. There was fierce Orange Order and populist Protestant opposition to the Act’s provisions to increase funding to the Catholic school sector (notwithstanding the Catholic Church’s refusal to allow state representation on the governing boards of their schools) and the Act’s outlawing of compulsory Bible-teaching in the non-denominational schools which were, in practice, attended almost exclusively by Protestants.
Again, the history of the 1947 legislation is notably at odds with the dominant narrative of a unionist government pandering to its extremist supporters.
The protests of the critics were faced down by Prime Minister Basil Brooke (later Lord Brookeborough) and his government, in spite of certain cabinet ministers being less than happy.
Brooke is a figure much traduced in broad-brush accounts of the political history of Northern Ireland.
It might be said that his long premiership was very much a ‘game of two halves’.
During the first decade – 1943 to 1953 – there were substantial achievements, many of them of a socially progressive kind.
Once again, there are messages for and about the DUP.
One of the consequences of the DUP’s political dominance of unionism today is the extent to which unionist history has been allowed to be forgotten or distorted. Quite simply, the DUP has never felt obliged to speak to that history, shaped as it has been by their UUP rival.
As it was being lambasted – and, indeed, misrepresented – by the British media in the course of reaching its deal with Theresa May’s Government, the DUP might have had cause to reflect on the damage that the neglect of history can do.
How many of those commentators, who relished the chance the DUP gave them to paint a picture of ‘Protestant Ulster’ as unremittingly reactionary, knew the slightest thing about the UUP’s legislative record – the positive as well as the discreditable?
More to the point, how many in the DUP itself knew?
Of course it’s right and proper to point out Unionist achievements. But these would hardly have come about had it not been for the GB precedents, notably those of the post war Labour government. Nor do they cancel out the corrupting effects of single party rule and discrimination well beyond “some local authorities,” nor the draconian law and order powers under whose weight the Unionist government later collapsed. The preceding peace time narrative cannot eclipse the disasters of the early and later Troubles even if here too, blame has to be shared. Governments will always carry the bigger can.
Step by step was a survival strategy to keep NI in touch with broad British trends. What lessons for today’s peacetime do the DUP take from it?

Zimbabwe set for debut at New York Times Travel Show
With the increased significance of the Americas market to Zimbabwe tourism arrivals, the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) is set to make a debut at the New York Times Travel Show scheduled for 24 – 26 January 2020 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, United States of America.
Zimbabwe’s presence at this leading North America fair is anticipated to further the country’s visibility, manage perceptions and foster assurance in this critical market. Contributing 95 025 arrivals recorded in 2018, The United States of America remains Zimbabwe’s top performing overseas market with an average spending of 888 dollars per traveler according to the Visitor Exit Survey.
‘In the past decade, the United States of America (USA) has been topping the overseas market chart with an incremental growth year by year. At its peak in 2017, it recorded 101,206 arrivals. We are therefore very much concerned with this drop and as such intensive marketing strategies have been devised to recuperate this diminishing market share. This will entail roadshows, educational tours, trade trainings, media engagements and sales calls,’ lamented the ZTA Acting Chief Executive.
The New York Times is the largest Travel Trade and Consumer Show in North America attracting more than 35,000 attendees with over 700 exhibitors from more than 175 countries. Zimbabwe’s participation comes after a long absence of intensified marketing and promotional programs in North America despite the continuous positive performance this market.
