Should gay bars ban bachelorette parties? | The Tylt
Should gay bars ban bachelorette parties?
RuPaul argues the treatment of gay bars as “tourist” destinations by straight women speaks to a more macro issue: treating gay people as accessories to straight life. A gay bar doesn't exist to be a straight woman's walk on the wild side.
“You know, this is an important thing: People who live in the mainstream and the status quo think that everyone else is there to serve them.”
But writer Mikey Rox couldn't disagree more. He thinks bachelorette party bans are rooted in misogyny and set a disturbing precedent around what kinds of people should be allowed in certain spaces.
What message is it sending when we’re demanding on Capitol Hill to be treated the same as everyone else then going back home and telling certain types of people they’re not welcome where we are? That mentality was born on the whims of elitist gay men (and that’s who’s propagating this issue today, by the way), and it goes against everything we’ve fought for.
But many queer folks say they have a right to their own gathering places. It's not gay men's fault that heterosexual men make women feel unsafe, but the solution to that problem is not for straight women to invade queer spaces.
Unexamined From Will & Grace to present is why straight women want to bring their bachelorette parties to a gay bar in the first place.

Gardeningis the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part ofhorticulture. In gardens,ornamental plantsare often grown for theirflowers,foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such asroot vegetables,leaf vegetables,fruits, andherbs, are grown for consumption, for use asdyes, or formedicinalorcosmeticuse.
Gardening ranges in scale from fruit orchards, to long boulevard plantings with one or more different types ofshrubs,trees, andherbaceous plants, to residentialback gardensincluding lawns and foundation plantings, and tocontainer gardensgrown inside or outside. Gardening may be very specialized, with only one type of plant grown, or involve a variety of plants in mixed plantings. It involves an active participation in the growing of plants, and tends to be labor-intensive, which differentiates it fromfarmingorforestry

'The Notorious Mr. Bout': Film Review
Drawing on home video footage shot by its subject, this playful documentary profiles the jailed Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, who inspired the Nicolas Cage thriller "Lord of War"
The spectacular rise and fall of an infamous Russian arms dealer provides the plot of this entertaining real-life thriller, but co-directors Tony Gerber and Maxim Pozdorovkin carefully avoid making any firm moral judgments about their colorful subject. Already well reviewed on the festival circuit, this U.S.-Russia co-production opens theatrically in the U.K. this week ahead of a BBC television slot in September. More international festivals and a U.S. release are currently being finalized. Pozdorovkin previously co-directed last year’s Sundance prize-winner, Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer.
Born and raised in the old Soviet Union, Viktor Bout made mountains of cash from its collapse, setting up an air freight empire flying deadly cargo into war zones and human-rights black holes. To family and friends, Bout was a legitimate businessman who occasionally turned a blind eye to the legal and ethical small print of the import/export trade. To his enemies, especially in the U.S. and U.K. governments, he was a sanctions-busting “merchant of death” whose clients allegedly included African war criminals, murderous Middle Eastern dictators and pariah regimes like the Taliban. Along the way he also threw boisterous parties and shot dozens of home movies.
The cinematic potential of Bout’s story has already been recognized by writer-director Andrew Niccol in his darkly comic 2005 thriller Lord of War, which starred Nicolas Cage as a wily Russian-American arms dealer partly based on Bout. Several interviewees in The Notorious Mr. Bout dismiss Niccol's movie as lurid fantasy, which it was. But both films share a cynicism toward government complicity in the weapons trade, painting globe-trotting freelancers like Bout as fall guys for politicians with blood on their hands.
The first celebrity arms dealer of the selfie age, Bout recorded an extensive library of home video footage stretching back more than 20 years. The filmmakers score a coup here by harvesting 200 hours of these recordings, which provide the bulk of their source material. They also enjoy the full cooperation of Bout's wife, Alla Bout, and Bout himself, who tells his story by email from prison. His words are voiced by an actor. Less charitable interviews with estranged ex-colleagues and the U.S. lawmen who finally arrested him give the film a degree of journalistic balance. The Notorious Mr. Bout paints an even-handed, sympathetic picture but stops short of one-sided propaganda.
We first see Bout in scratchy archive footage from the early 1990s, slender and handsome as he marries Alla in Saint Petersburg. As the decade progresses he literally appears to bloat on his own success, his waistline expanding as he sets up lucrative air freight operations in Belgium, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa. “By 25, I was a millionaire,” he recalls. “By 30, I had an empire."
But 9/11 was a disastrous game-changer for Bout, putting his shadowy operations under heavy scrutiny. He returned to Russia but made a fatal error in keeping a high profile, even giving an interview to The New York Times. He was finally cornered in 2008 during a sting operation in Thailand, when undercover DEA agents caught him on camera trying to sell weapons to the Colombian rebel group FARC for use against Americans. The film opens with dramatic footage of Bout’s arrest and ends with him being sentenced to 25 years behind bars in New York City in 2012.
Punctuated by playful animated graphics and a comically ebullient score of Slavic folk music, The Notorious Mr. Bout is arguably guilty of trivializing a serious subject. The filmmakers certainly avoid taking a clear moral stand, even when Bout’s own video records appear to undermine his claims of innocence. But between the lines, this engaging documentary shines a light on the often mundane reality behind media-created folk devils, and challenges the hazy moral distinction between state-sanctioned arms dealers and their black-market counterparts.

A hormone secreted by the thyroid that lowers blood calcium. Often used in the treatment of hypercalcemia.
A mineral found in the teeth, bones, and other body tissues.
Calcium Channel Blocker
A drug used to lower blood pressure.
Stones or solid lumps such as gallstones.
A small area of skin, usually on the foot, that has become thick and hard from rubbing or pressure. Calluses may lead to other problems such as serious infection. Shoes that fit well can keep calluses from forming.
The energy unit for measuring heat. Energy that comes from food. Some foods have more calories than others. Fats have many calories. Most vegetables have few. People with diabetes are advised to follow meal plans with suggested amounts of calories for each meal and/or snack. See also: Meal plan; exchange lists.
A normally harmless microscopic yeast that lives within the human gastrointestinal tract, it can overgrow and cause fatigue, depression, joint pain, headaches, and recurrent infections.
An infection caused by the Candida (KAN-di-duh) fungus, which lives naturally in the gastrointestinal tract. Infection occurs when a change in the body, such as surgery, causes the fungus to overgrow suddenly.
The smallest of the body's blood vessels. Capillaries have walls so thin that oxygen and glucose can pass through them and enter the cells, and waste products such as carbon dioxide can pass back into the blood to be carried away and taken out of the body. Sometimes people who have had diabetes for a long time find that their capillaries become weak, especially those in the kidney and the retina of the eye. See also: Blood vessels.
One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy. Carbohydrates are mainly sugars and starches that the body breaks down into glucose (a simple sugar that the body can use to feed its cells). The body also uses carbohydrates to make a substance called glycogen that is stored in the liver and muscles for future use. If the body does not have enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it has, then the body will not be able to use carbohydrates for energy the way it should. This condition is called diabetes. See also: Fats; protein.

Michelle Obama just got super honest about her infertility struggles. See what she had to say about conceiving Sasha and Malia through IVF after a miscarriage!
Michelle Obama, 54, is promoting her new book Becoming — and that means opening up about some personal stuff! In fact, the former First Lady talked about her and Barack Obama‘s infertility struggles and IVF journey in an interview with Good Morning America host Robin Roberts, 57, which will premiere on ABC on Nov. 11. “I felt like I failed because I didn’t know how common miscarriages were, because we don’t talk about them,” she said in a preview. “We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we’re broken.That’s one of the reasons why I think it’s important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen. I think it’s the worst thing that we do to each other as women, not share the truth about our bodies and how they work.”
Even though she felt “lost and alone” during this time, Michelle was able to conceive her daughters Sasha, 17, and Malia, 20, through IVF and described that process in her memoir. But that isn’t the only thing Michelle opens up about in Becoming — or in her ABC special, Becoming Michelle: A First Lady’s Journey with Robin Roberts. The memoir dives into her thoughts on the current political climate, and specifically on the President who took office after her husband. When Donald Trump, 72, claimed Barack wasn’t an American citizen during his presidency, Michelle says it was “dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks.” She added, “What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk.”
She also opened up about the “fury” that she felt when she heard Donald admit to assaulting women in tapes, as well as disgust over the way he “stalked” Hillary Clinton, 71, during their rival campaigns.

— Philip Lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) November 9, 2018
“I’ve never been a fan of politics, and my experience over the last 10 years has done little to change that,” she said. “I continue to be put off by the nastiness.”
So clearly Michelle is getting real in her book! We’re so proud of the former First Lady for putting herself out there so bravely. Her jam-packed memoir will be out Nov. 13!

Embattled Congolese musician Koffi Olomide has been arrested in Kinshasa, Congo for kicking a female member of his band in Nairobi.
The musician was nabbed at his house on Tuesday morning following a directive from the public prosecutor in the country.

President Buhari did not cancel trip to Ogoni – Presidency
It rather stated that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo represented the president at the occasion. It will be recalled that the presidential movement to the oil rich land had been widely publicized. Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on the eve of the trip on Wednesday made a broadcast, calling for calm and support for the president.
But at the eleventh hour Wednesday night after his advanced team had arrived Ogoniland, the president detailed his deputy to perform the ceremony thus fuelling speculation that something was amiss.
Some online portals reported that security report may have halted the President’s visit to the grieving community whose sons were killed by Nigeria’s military government years ago.
But responding to enquiries on why the president failed to appear in person, his Special Adviser on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said that he was represented at the event by his deputy.
“We all went to school. There is a difference between cancellation and being represented by someone. The president did not cancel his trip to Ogoniland. He was represented by the Vice President”, Adesina said.
He did not give reason why the President did not go in person but a Presidency source justified the President’s absence, saying “there is only one Presidency in Nigeria, whether it is the President or Vice President that went is immaterial; what is paramount is that the Federal Government has kept its promise of ensuring the clean-up of Ogoni land”.

A tandoor (Arabic: تنور, Persian: تنور, Turkish: tandır, Urdu: تندور, Armenian: Թոնիր, Azerbaijani: təndir, Bengali: তন্দূর, Georgian: თონე, Hindi: तन्दूर, Punjabi: ਤੰਦੂਰ) is a cylindrical clay oven used in cooking and baking. The tandoor is used for cooking in Southern, Central and Western Asia, as well as in the Caucasus.
The heat for a tandoor was traditionally generated by a charcoal or wood fire, burning within the tandoor itself, thus exposing the food to live-fire, radiant heat cooking, and hot-air, convection cooking, and smoking by the fat and food juices that drip on to the charcoal. Temperatures in a tandoor can approach 480°C (900°F), and it is common for tandoor ovens to remain lit for long periods to maintain the high cooking temperature. The tandoor design is something of a transitional form between a makeshift earth oven and the horizontal-plan masonry oven.
The oldest examples of a tandoor were found in the settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, though earlier tandoor-type ovens have been recovered in early-Harappan contexts on the Makran coast, including the mound site of Balakot, Pakistan. In Sanskrit, the tandoor was referred to as kandu. The word tandoor comes from the Dari words tandūr and tannūr; these are derived from very similar terms, viz. Persian tanūr (تنور), Armenian t’onir (Թոնիր), Arabic tannūr (تنّور), Hebrew (תנור) eg in Leviticus 2:4 Turkish tandır, Uzbek tandir, Azeri təndir and Kurdish tendûr. However, according to Dehkhoda Persian Dictionary, the word originates from Akkadian tinûru, and is mentioned as early as in the Akkadian Epic of Gilgames (as reflexed by Avestan tanûra and Pahlavi tanûr). As such, tandoor may not have originated from Semitic or Iranian altogether, dating back to periods before the migration of Aryan and Semitic people to the Iranian plateau and Mesopotamia.
Tandoor cooked dishes
A tandoor may be used to bake many different types of flatbread. Some of the most common are Tandoori Roti, Tandoori Naan, Tandoori Laccha Paratha, Missi Roti, and Tandoori Kulcha.
Peshawari Seekh
Roasted Cashews, corn and cottage cheese paste marinated in spiced thick cream grilled in Tandoor.
Achaari Khumb ke Soole
Mushrooms marinated in pickled yoghurt and jodhpuri spices grilled in Tandoor.
Baluchi Aloo
Potatoes stuffed with cottage cheese, vegetables and cashew nuts, roasted in Tandoor.
Tandoori chicken
The chicken is marinated in a yogurt seasoned with garam masala, garlic, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other spices depending on the recipe. In hot versions of the dish, cayenne, red chili powder, or other spices give the typical red color; in milder versions, food coloring is used. Turmeric produces a yellow-orange color. It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in an earthen oven (i.e. tandoor), but can also be prepared on a traditional grill.
Chicken tikka
Chicken tikka (Urdu: مرغ تکہ ; Hindi: मुर्ग़ टिक्का; murgh tikka) is a dish from Mughlai cuisine made by grilling small pieces of chicken which have been marinated in spices and yogurt. It is traditionally cooked on skewers in a tandoor and is usually boneless. It is normally served and eaten with a green coriander chutney, or used in preparing the curry chicken tikka masala.
Kalmi kabab
Kalmi kabab, a popular snack in South Asian cuisine, is made by marinating chicken drumsticks and placing them in a tandoor. Various kinds of freshly ground Indian spices are added to the yogurt used for the marination of the chicken. When prepared, the drumsticks are usually garnished by mint leaves and served with onions and Indian bread.
Samosa (Samsa) is a stuffed snack consisting of a fried or baked triangular, semilunar or tetrahedral pastry shell with a savory filling, which may include spiced potatoes, onions, peas, coriander, and lentils, or ground lamb or chicken. The size and shape of a samosa, as well as the consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably. In some regions of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) samosas are typically baked in a tandoor, while they are usually fried elsewhere.

The Haunting Of Bly Manor's Queer Romance Is One I Desperately Needed
Netflix's streaming horror show is more than just ghosts and creepy kids, it's a powerful love story.
Major spoilers for Netflix's The Haunting Of Bly Manor below.
There's a moment in The Haunting Of Bly Manor that, for most people, probably didn't seem scary at all, at least not compared to the rest of the show. There are no ghosts, no one is in any mortal peril--it's not even set in a sweeping gothic manor somewhere in the English countryside. It's in an American suburb, in the middle of the day, and every single character in the scene is happy--all except one.
Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti) is at her own engagement party, listening to her fiancé tell the story of proposing to her. He's obviously head over heels for her, and we can see why--we know from the start of the episode that they've been friends since childhood, and they're practically destined to be together. But as he goes on, and as the room sighs and claps at how sweet it all is, Dani looks like a deer in the headlights, unable to move or even speak, with a stiff smile and bravely set shoulders. Later as the flashback continues, we see that this is very much the norm for Dani as she's practically puppeteered by the people around her into situations that should be joyful--the rest of the party, being given a wedding dress from her future mother-in-law, being fitted for it. It should be a dream, yet every step of the way Dani is barely a participant. This is all happening to her, rather than for or with her.
Thanks to some carefully placed flirtations with groundskeeper Jamie in earlier episodes, it's not hard to put two-and-two together. Dani is gay. She is not in love with her fiancé, no matter how desperately she wishes she could be.
The moment is, arguably, overshadowed by the "real" horrific moment of the episode--the reveal that a post-break up fight cost her fiancé his life and traumatized Dani so deeply that her only recourse was to flee to England and start a new life. But it's the moments before the accident that really twist the knife. "I should have said something sooner," she says, through tears. "I didn't want to hurt you, or your mom, or your family. And then it was just what we were doing. I thought I was being selfish, that I could just stick it out, and eventually I would feel how I was supposed to feel."
I don't actually know when I realized that I was gay. There's a lot of narratives out there in pop culture that are supposed to help with that sort of thing. People talk about "gay awakenings" on social media to make memes and jokes that I like as much as the next person, but have always struggled with, if only for that fact. I don't look back at my childhood and feel like I was ever particularly trapped in the closet, and I was surrounded by a family who I knew would have accepted me regardless--but still, all throughout my teenage years, I tripped over myself trying to date boys. Most of them were friends--some still are today--but each time I'd find myself stumbling into a clumsy, high school romance it was exactly that. I'd tell myself over and over that I wasn't happy because I was being selfish, and if I could just stick it out, eventually, I'd feel the way I was supposed to.
Watching Dani say those words onscreen was the first time I'd ever seen that story told so clearly. Dani's fear may be rooted in a general anxiety about judgement or rejection, but it's more than that--we have no reason to believe the people around her don't love her, but her secret has become so foundational to her support structure that the truth is unthinkable now. She's not scared about coming out of the closet, she's scared about hurting her friends. "And then," as she says, "it was just something we were doing."
The terror of compulsory heterosexuality is an extremely specific feeling, and not the story the horror genre usually aims for--dramas, maybe, that tell sweeping, impossible love stories where one person refuses to let go of their loveless marriage, sure, but not horror. Normally, when we talk about the intersection of queer identity and scary stories, there are certain low-hanging branches to pluck from. The monstrous other who wages a sometimes literal war against unnatural desires (vampires, werewolves, etc.), the outcast who eventually starts to fight against the society that threw them out with gruesome results (basically any story about a killer, Jennifer's Body, NBC's Hannibal)--the list goes on. It's easy to see yourself as a monster, or as the other, for your desires, but it's harder to evoke that same sensation when you're trying to articulate the lack thereof; when characters are tossed out or pushed aside because they don't want.
Dani's tragedy isn't about an absence of love and acceptance or the impossibility of her happiness, and neither was mine. It's about all the negative space around the love and acceptance, and the guilt that comes with being caught in the glue trap of that lie. Sometimes, it's just easier to be the person everyone expects you to be, even when it turns you into a mannequin rather than a human, to be posed and propped up in ways that keep other people from feeling sad or hurt or heartbroken.
Where Bly Manor went the extra mile was how it proceeded with Dani's story after the grisly truth of her breakup was revealed. Never once is Dani punished by anyone but herself. It would have been easy to adjust the story to fit the time-honored tradition of queer tragedy we see over and over again, where the world just doesn't understand or won't allow for two characters to be in love--but that never happens here. The monster lurking behind her in the mirror is never Dani's sexuality, only her guilt and her struggle with letting it go. She never has a moment where she's forced to come out or to explain herself to the impressionable, well-to-do children in her charge, and she's never sneered at or pushed away by anyone in her family, found or otherwise.
The horror of Dani's story grows and changes as the show progresses, but it's entirely articulated in those quiet moments where she's digging her heels in and trying, to the best of her ability, to pretend to want the happiness being offered to her. It's a guilt that defines the rest of her arc through the show, and a feeling that struck me as so familiar, and so unexpected, that it rocked me to my core. I think on some level that's always been an understanding in me. Of course, other people--other queer people specifically--have been through this, and of course, my teenage self couldn't have been alone in this series of awkward, heart-breaking, self-blaming messes--but I'm not sure how much I really believed until I saw it reflected back at me.
And, perhaps most importantly: Dani's story may be bookended by tragedy--but, like Flora says, it isn't a ghost story. It's a love story. And if recovering from that guilt--unsticking herself from the glue trap, escaping from the gravity well--was something she could pull off even for just a short amount of time, then maybe there's hope out there for the rest of us, too.

By entering the Z. Alexander Brown Wines website you acknowledge that you are of legal drinking age in the country where this site is accessed.
© 2021 Z. ALEXANDER BROWN WINES, NAPA, CA
This lush and layered Pinot Noir is overflowing with intense aromas of black cherry, vanilla and toasty oak. Smooth with supple tannins, robust flavors of fresh raspberry jam and strawberry are complemented by silky underpinnings of rich mocha and caramel. Jammy and voluminous, rich juicy ripe fruit lingers on through the finish.
– John Killebrew, Winemaker
A cool start to the season brought on slow, even ripening. Warm days followed with very few heat spikes allowing the grapes to ripen while maintaining bright, fresh, clean fruit flavors. A majority of these grapes were sourced from Santa Lucia Highlands AVA of Monterey County. Here, the cooler temperatures make for bright red fruit flavors and well-structured tannins. A small portion of blend is sourced from the warmer climates in Los Carneros and Napa Valley, contributing lush, jammy berry flavors with depth and complexity. We chose our harvest dates to optimize each vineyard’s best state of ripeness and produce a delicious, layered and balanced wine.
Throughout the growing season, winemaker John Killebrew visited each vineyard block regularly. The fruit for Z. Alexander Brown was harvested during the cool early morning hours to ensure that the concentrated fruit flavors were captured at the peak of ripeness. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed into stainless steel fermenters from 24 to 48-hours cold soak to extract color from the skins and enhance the delicate berry flavors. Following the completion of primary fermentation, the wine was gently pressed and clean racked into a selection of French and American oak barrels and elevage tanks where the wines underwent secondary malolactic fermentation. After several months of aging, the final cuvée was blended featuring a selection of the best lots of the vintage.

I am a Dylan Werner 300hrs and Ana Forrest Advanced Teacher, Jim Harrington 5 Star Yoga Teacher, ISHTA 500hrs and Pregnancy Yoga Teacher.
I have tried a few different styles of yoga and have been fortunate enough to have trained with both international and local teachers.

I am very blessed and honoured to have had all the incredible experiences on this path and I have learned so much on this Journey called Yoga.
I run yoga teacher training courses, I teach private, corporate, workshops, festivals, retreats and group classes. I teach all levels of yoga from beginners to advanced and my teaching styles are: Myofascia Sequenced Vinyasa, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, Ashtanga and Heated Vinyasa.
My mission for teaching is to facilitate and create an environment where students can enter at any level and progress on their own personal journey of growth and improvement. One of my primary techniques is to simplify complex poses in a safe and fun environment with the culture where everyone moves and progresses at their own pace yet constantly finding creative ways to keep the students inspired. With that said, my style of teaching is often considered strong, to encourage and challenge students to overcome their own fears to be the best they can be.
Look forward to seeing you on the mat! NAMASTE!

£125m plane puts paras in danger
THE £125m aircraft chosen by the Ministry of Defence to replace the war-hardened Hercules transport plane has an embarrassing flaw. It has failed tests to prove that it can safely carry out mass paratroop drops on the battlefield.
The failures of the Spanish-built A400M Atlas could force the government to rethink its plans for 22 of the giant aircraft in the defence review later this year.
RAF chiefs ordered the plane 12 years ago to replace its C-130J Hercules transports but the seven-nation European project has been dogged by technical failures and cost overruns.
Government cost-cutters had ordered the 24 old Hercules to start being retired next year but MoD experts, special forces chiefs and Parachute Regiment commanders are worried that the new aircraft will

There have always been a few individuals who have impressed me over the course of the last few decades, but few have had the lasting impact on the U.S. that I feel Betsy DeVos has had through her work as an education reformer. I do not believe there can be any doubt remaining about the success Holland, Michigan native Mrs. DeVos has achieved in the arena of education as she has become a major force in the growing campaign to reform the education system that Betsy DeVos joined in its infancy over three decades ago. The February 2017 confirmation of Betsy DeVos as the U.S. Secretary of Education should, I believe, be seen as the graduate of Calvin College reaching the pinnacle of the reform movement that she has reached on a personal level and as a sign the education reform movement is now a mainstream force. Read more on Cleveland.com
In an interview with Philanthropy Roundtable I recently read, Betsy DeVos revealed she has spent a large amount of her time for three decades trying to make the U.S. education system as fair as possible. The area we have often seen discussed in the press about Mrs. DeVos is her push to bring more school choice and school voucher systems to the fore, but her own career has seen the co-founder of the Dick and Betsy DeVos Foundation work in the Michigan public school system in a number of roles; I was always impressed by the devotion shown to the students of Michigan in her role as an advocate for at risk students she has worked with and on behalf of for decades. In terms of her education reform work, I believe the work of Mrs. DeVos has had a positive impact on the state of Michigan and the nation as a whole as she has seen growing levels of success in the charter schools she has helped establish across Michigan and the U.S.
I have not only been impressed with the work completed by Betsy DeVos in the educational arena, but she has also been a major part of a number of charitable groups and business ventures undertaken through The Windquest Group she helped establish alongside husband Dick DeVos. Betsy DeVos looks to back business ventures and philanthropic opportunities she believes are close to her own heart and express her own view of the world; I have been impressed with the backing given to the Willow Creek organization that seeks to help individuals become leaders with a strong moral center. A range of business ventures have also been backed by Mrs. DeVos, including one I believe is important in the form of boxed water that can have a great impact on areas affected by disasters.

Despite the guarantee of the Fourth Amendment, U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies have made a habit of spying on the citizenry. But in the 21st century, the internet and the ability of computers to store and process vast amounts of data has allowed the government to collect vast amounts of data about each of us.
Government surveillance goes well beyond the NSA/FBI mass surveillance programs revealed by Edward Snowden in 2013. The Drug Enforcement Agency’s automatic license plate readers have been recording our travel for decades; the FBI’s domain awareness program records where we travel, record has been recording license plates for decades, Fusion Centers and Joint Terrorism Task Forces (run by DHS and the FBI respectively) gather information.

The PCLOB will also review FBI backdoor searches of data collected under Section 702, and the NSA’s Call Record Detail program.
Under so-called “backdoor searches,” agencies, including the FBI and DEA, search these communications without ever obtaining a warrant.
CBP Admits to Targeting Journalists, Activists, After Civil Society Groups, Including Defending Rights & Dissent, Demanded Answers
After revelations that Customs and Border Patrol (CBB) had monitored journalists, human rights lawyers, and activists, Defending Rights & Dissent joined with a 100 civil society demanding answers. In a May 9, 2019 response letter, CBP admits for the first time to having engaged in this monitoring, though it defended its actions.
Recent headlines that suggest the NSA will abandon its mass phone surveillance program, commonly known as Section 215 of the Patriot Act, should be met with a healthy dollop of skepticism.
Today, Defending Rights and Dissent joined a coalition of over 100 organizations in sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) urging it to cease any targeting of activists, journalists, and lawyers based on their First Amendment-protected speech and associational activities.

Use Triage To Help Crack Mental Health Issues
This month we are delighted to have our thinking on the importance of nipping mental health issues in the bud profiled as the lead story in Occupational Health & Wellbeing magazine.
The editor, Nic Paton, praised our recognition that mental health issues can be a bit like windscreen chips: “Sometimes you can drive around for a while before a crack appears but, for the most part, they need a quick repair if they’re not to splinter into something worse.”
The problem highlighted is the extent to which most employers are still in the habit of adopting a “wait and see” policy when it comes to mental health. Mistakenly thinking that someone affected by a mental illness will get better given some time, when the reality is that the longer a mental health issue is left unsupported, the more entrenched and harder to treat it typically becomes. Unlike physical injuries, which generally benefit from time and rest.
Our cover story describes how instead of waiting for the cracks to fully appear, you can use a ‘triage’ process to identify and repair mental health chips.
It also explains how train operator GWR went about using triage to identify and support people affected by a mental health issue, in a way that’s not only saved the business hundreds of thousands of pounds, but also created a culture where managers feel able to approach people struggling to cope.
We’re delighted to have our thinking on this showcased, so hope you enjoy reading the article.
Read the full article here
“Given how important early intervention is for a speedy recovery, now, more than ever, triage represents both a smart and cost-effective way to nip mental health problems in the bud. It is a way to manage mental health that more than pays for itself by significantly reducing mental health related absence bills.”
- Barbara Davenport, head of wellbeing, GWR
If you would like to discuss the opportunities for your organisation to prevent mental health issues from occurring or getting worse, we would love to meet with you, or have an initial chat over the phone. To get the ball rolling, please email us at [email protected]

WCC PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Portland's Michelle Enyeart Earns Weekly Honor
Michelle Enyeart logged both game-winners in leading Portland to wins over nationally ranked San Diego and Santa Clara this week. Enyeart weaved through five defenders after a 40 yard run to open the scoring in a 4-0 win over San Diego on Thursday, then came off the bench to deliver a late first half goal in a 2-0 win over Santa Clara. She also created Portland's second goal against SCU by drawing a penalty kick in the second half which was converted by teammate Angie Woznuk.

Note: If you put your name on the waiting list then you will get an email inviting you to decide whether or not you are going to join in this hike a few days before the hike. The first 12 people who respond to that email will be listed as participants in the hike. Those who don't respond to the email will remain on the waiting list which will then operate as a normal waiting list.
I go on these hikes whether or not anyone else joins in, but I need to know if others are joining as I will wait at the trailhead for late arriving participants.
The WNYMBA recently completed a single track hiking-biking trail that is an extension off the Ridge Run Trail. The new trail uses a portion of the old abandoned trail that a group of us used on our hike from the Summit area to Thunder Rocks (a hike I intend to repeat in the near future.)
This hike will follow the Ridge Run Trail until the beginning of the new hiking-biking single track trail. We then follow the new trail until it returns to the Ridge Run Trail. We have the option of continuing down the Ridge Run trail to the new Bova Leanto, then follow the Patterson trail back to the cars for a total of 9 miles, or instead, return on the Ridge Run trail to the parking lot, a total of about 7 miles. If it is an unusually cool mid-July day we will take the longer route. But if it is a hot day as expected, we will take the shorter route.
The trail drops from 2400 feet to 1800 feet and back to 2400 feet so there will be significant elevation gain and loss over the course of the trail. Nothing steep.
All trails, no bushwhacking. In fact, the Ridge Run trail is a wide cross country ski trail, more like a narrow forest road in the summer (the WNYBA drove ATV vehicles on the Ridge Run trail to get to the beginning off the new trail when they constructed it this spring.) I’m assuming the new trail is a narrow single track trail much like the trails in Sprague Brook Park. It should, however, be cleared of vegetation.
This hike is good for dogs BUT if you want to bring a dog you must individually check with the park police. The park rules state that dogs are prohibited on the trails in the Summit area. However, there is a relatively new sign at the start of the Summit trails stating that dogs are prohibited from November to April, leaving the impression that dogs are allowed from May through October. One park police officer told me the park rules control, another said the sign was controlling. I am not rendering an opinion on the issue so you have to check for yourself.
A waiver of liability will be required. You can download it, sign it, then scan and return it to me by email, fax, or bring a signed copy with you to the hike. (Send me an email through the meetup system and request either the email address for a scanned copy or the fax number for a fax copy.) Here is the link to the release form: Release of Liability
