tv Erin Burnett Out Front CNN May 15, 2019 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT
hard enough to break windowing. it took firefighters 45 minutes to rescue the men. they are okay. it's good news thanks for watching. follow me instagram and twitter. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. erin burnett outfront starts right now. outfront next, wagon the dog, do trump's treats reveal the real reason behind tougher talk on iran. plus jerry nadler out front with a message for the white house tonight. and how the trade war is affecting one family's livelihood and costing trump their votes. let's go outfront. and good evening i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. team trump warning of iranian attack pulling all non-essential americans ouf of irk over fears that of the attack. there was an ominous message when asked about war with iran. >> if they do anything it would be a very bad mistake if they do
anything. i'm hearing little stories about iran. if they do anything they will suffer greatly. >>s in serious. war with iran would be world shattering. what we do know tonight is that america's closest ally doesn't seem to see what trump sees. here a top british general. >> am i concerned about the danger? no, not really. >> america's allies aren't the only one skeptical. jerry moran telling reporters after a classified briefing with the cia and nsa there is a lot more to be known before decisions are made. and he is not the only one pushing back against the white house. key senators from both parties are now demanding answers from team trump. >> i have no idea what the threat stream is. >> the trump administration has not provided any information to this committee. on the intelligence behind their decisions. >> there is a reason senators and the american people should
be concerned. and that is that the president's top national security adviser has made a career of comments about iran like these. >> the declared policy of the united states of america should be the overthrow of the mulla regime in tehran. >> we have not been prepared although we should be prepared to take down the regime in tehran. >> our goal should be regime change in iran. >> but why now? why this talk now from the president? well, there is a tweet or two for that. here are two tweets from trump during the 2012 election. the first now that obama poll numbers are in tail spin watch for him to launch a strike in libya or iran. he is desperate. then don't let obama play the iran card to start a war to get elected be careful republicans. but tonight some of trump's friends are warning him to be careful. for example laura ingram tweeting war with iran is one of
the few certain paths for donald trump to harm his re-election prospect. katlyn collins is outfront life and katlyn it seems like the white house is keeping virtually everyone in the dark here about what they may know or not know. why team trump is taking such an aggressive stance here. >> the question is erin how much longer can it last? but lawmakers are demanding information here. we know the gang of eight is going to be briefed on capitol hill tomorrow. but privately white house feshls are saying what they are saying publicly that yes this threat is credible. it is real and some of the republicans who have been briefed on it are agreeing with the white house here. white house officials are saying the latest moves that the u.s. has been making is not an opening into war with iran but of course the question is what are they basing this on? because they still have not said publicly what in flet is going to be. and they haven't said whether or not they are going to reveal what the threat could be, what's behind the latest moves they've made. as you pointed out there is a lot of speculation on john bolton. the president's national security adviser, not only what
he said in the past but what he advises the president today. but of course the president tweeted about this saying he takes opinions from all sides. of course referencing not only john bolton who the president president normally ochten jokes is trying to start wars in multiple countries even the president says that to other world leaders but the president is saying he is taking advise from other people sometimes when an idea is floated and there are prominent voices like laura ink gram, saying in could hurt the president's re-election effort. he sometimes listened to those. that could be evident in the president's latest tweet when among other things he said iran will want to talk soon. that could be indicative maybe the president is looking to solve this this way. but of course lawmakers want to know more information right now from the white house. >> thank you very much. outfront now one of the lawmakers democratic senator from oregon. who sits on the senate foreign relations committee. senator thank you. >> you're welcome. >> is there a legitimate threat
from iran from what you know. >> we always know iran is up to mischief. we don't like their arc of influence that continues across iraq to syria and lebanon. there is a lot we don't like. but as to something significantly different, we have not seen that information. and i must say what we have seen is this administration doing many things that kind of pave a path towards hostilities that should be a concern to us all. >> so when they say that, you know, that there is the possibility of americans being kidnapped, violence against americans, in iraq from iran, right, which of course would be an inkrelk act of aggression, of war, they haven't shared any of that with you on the senate foreign releases committee, no information to support that yet. >> no they have not i anticipate after the group of eight is
briefed the rest will get a briefing next week. that shows you a little bit how this is coming behind the argument. and in that sense, because what has happened is the administration has evacuated personnel from iraq, which is also a shiite country like iran. they have moved -- skrermted the movement of an aircraft carrier into the region. they have proceeded to end the waivers for the purchase of oil from iran, putting enormous economic pressure on them and hurting allies like japan and north korea and some other big economies like india from. this combination of efforts is the sort of thing that could lead up to making the argument, look, there is a lot of bad things they are doing. we're going to take the military action. that's our concern. remember bolton wrote that article, the op-ed piece that ended with bomb bomb iran. >> the headline was to stop iran's bomb, bo bottom iran. >> yes. exactly. i feel a lot of mistrust of
these coordinated efforts that seem to build a case for war. >> president trump denied a "new york times" report that he was looking at plans to send up to 120,000 troops to the middle east if iran attacked u.s. forces, which you know if they attack americans in iraq would fit that description. here is part of his answer. >> now, would i do that? absolutely. but we have not plans for that. hopefully we're not going to have to plan for that. and if we did that we'd send a hell of a lot more troops than that. >> he is right. there would be a hell of a lot more troops than that. but is that the way he should be speaking? >> well, i -- it's just a part of in drum beat that is going on. and you hear a little bit from part of the administration. we're just not moving aircraft carriers preparing to send troops. the the president says no we are
not. but if we do prepare we'll send a lot more than that. the just the -- but the whole dialogue -- he is not disavowing the set of actions that have been taken, including designating the revolutionary guard inside iran as a terrorist organization. they put the forward the argument th argument. have they taken action that threatens in a way that vital national interest or something different than in the past. >> do you think iran takes president trump's comments seriously in terms of is he upping the risk of war by what he is saying do they believe it. >> i think they do take his comments very seriously, yes. and i think it also -- what it does is undermine the moderates inside iran because the revolutionary guard and the conservatives are saying, see,
we couldn't trust the united states. we said that all along. they bailed on their treaty commitments to us even after we dismantled the plutonium reactor and moved the uranium out of the country. and brought in an incredible number of inspectors unprecedented in any arms control agreement. after we did this the united states bailed. and now they continue to politicize the attacks on us. it does strengthen the hard liners inside iran. >> so, you know, i just read two of the tweets the president sent back in 2012, right. he was talking about iran. one of them now that obama's poll numbers are in spin watch him him to launch a strike in libya or iran. he is zbrit. don't let obama play the iran card to start a war to get elected. be careful republicans. is that -- and see -- is he doing this now because he is afraid of something? >> i think that he is very concerned about his standing in america. as he thinks about elections he
thinks about what fears can we generate among the public? that generally has been a good political strategy for republicans. and we saw it with immigration six months out from the 2018 election. where he basically created a crisis on the border, did a whole things like the child separation, trying to accent the internment camps across america. 15,000 migrant children in prisons. almost weekly there was immigration announcement. i would expect another fear factor, maybe it's a trial balloon but it's dangerous territory. >> so you mention immigration. we are learning new details this hour about the white house immigration plan. jared kushner central to that. we understand from our reporting, senator, that it would -- it would shift to a merit based system. we knew they wanted that but they are informal doing that. family ties not the driver of how people get into the country. it's going to be merit.
and they do not address daca at all. is that a non-starter? >> well, it is -- yes. yes, the short answer -- the short answer is yes. and what we have seen is just one bad idea on immigration after another. what they did to create a crisis with the children and to lock up the 15,000 kids was to stop recruiting sponsors to be able to host children awaiting the asylum series with families in skooms. and we're inflicting trauma on children by keeping them locked up rather than proceeding to have people -- children placed where they should be placed. there is so much politics involved in this. it's just very disturbing. >> thank you for your time, juror. i appreciate it. >> thank you, take care. >> next breaking news, the governor of alabama signing the most restrictive abortion bill in america. are other states about to follow? plus the white house taking new steps to shutdown democrats attempts at oversight pl telling
the chairman of the house judiciary committee no do overs. chairman nadler respondsout front. and one of president trump's prized possessions is reportedly losing money big time. >> i just left trump national doral in miami. and it's a great place. we've done it! hah! great work old chap. we'll be rich and famous. well i'll be rich, you'll be famous... at least amongst your digging friends. here's a thought, ever consider investing? e*trade has easy to use tools that help you get started. you like playing with tools don't you?

united states. and here is who put the bill on her desk which she was happy to sign. the state senate. you see male dominated passing the measure late last night, 25 men in fact voting for this. keep in mind women make up more than half of the population of alabama. there were only, though where four women in the alabama state senate to weigh in on the issue. the bill has virtually zero exceptions to allow abortion. so no abortion in the case of rain. no abortion portion in the case of incest in. 2017 a 12-year-old girl in alabama was rained by a relative many became pregnant rained under this bill she would have had to keep the baby. outfront now joan our cnn analyst and our political reporter. joan, let me show you a map of states across the country that have passed more restrictions on abortion. others are moving in that direction as you can see by the colors on the map if you watch at home. the trend is not going anywhere.
why is it happening everywhere? >> clearly, erin, states are emboldened by the new supreme court. first of all, president donald trump when he was campaigning back in 2016 said he wanted to reverse roe v. wade and he would appoint justices who held the similar sentiment. and now we have two new trump appointees on the court. most kroushlly brett kavanaugh succeeding anthony kennedy who was the key fifth vote on abortion. he succeeded him last fall. i think the state he is certainly are responding to that. but, you know, it's going to be a long haul. the law you just described cannot be enforced right now. it's flying flat in thes face of supreme court precedent that says that government skoont put an undue burden on a woman's right to end a pregnancy before a fetus would be viable at about
24 weeks. this is setting up a major clash. but the way the law works is that things move incrementally. and i do not see that law being enforced for any time in the near future. >> and as in push happens, though, nea, the democrats running for office are seizing on it, right, to the point that joan made, because niece laws are happening because of people who see what trump is trying to do to the supreme court because they are emboldened by that and the democrats are responding here are a few of the 2020ers today. >> they are trying to overreturn roe versus wade. that's wrong. and we will fight back. >> this alabama effort and the effort across in country now in 29 states is an all-out take on roe productive rights. >> when abortions were illegal in our country women died. they died. because they were not given choice. it's a fundamental issue.
>> so does this move the needle for democrats nea? obviously they are jumping on it but does it motivate the voters. >> it certainly does. and i think the reality that joan lays out there, the reality of these bills kind of percolating through the appellate courts and percolating in the states and the reality of the conservative supreme court means it's a new era in american politics in terms of the abortion debate. just hasn't been the case before where the reality of the overturn of roe v. wade has seemed at hand in a way that it does right now because all of those dynamics. so it's certainly moving the needle in terms of fund raising for instance. and you saw beto o'rourke and bernie sanders basically mail out pleas to donate to planned barnthood and different abortion rights activists in groups and alabama. but i think there is a new reality of women running for president and can articulate
some of the issues around abortion in a way you haven't really been seeing. you know, you saw that obviously with hillary clinton and now we have a crowd of women running for president and can talk about it in a way we haven't seen before. that's an interesting new dynamic as well. and you also have seen -- you know, this hasn't really been a galvanizing issue for democrats in the way that it has been for republicans for decades. so we'll see how in moves going forward and how the markets try to seize it. >> and joan obviously there is the precedent of roe v. wade which has been upheld and more strict constitutionalist on the court who say the entire base of that precedent, the idea of privacy and a woman's body is in and of itself suspect. maybe they'd be more willing to move on this. what are the chances the supreme court moves the bar on roe versus wade. >> i think what we're going to see, essentially two chapters, erin. the first chapter will be more restrictioning allowing regulations that interfere with a woman's access to abortion,
not the absolute right to abortion but access. and those are kind of a first iteration of laws that are already being challenged and already up at the supreme court that were enacted even before donald trump came to office. and without anthony kennedy those access laws have a greater chance of being upheld. >> so -- >> there are a couple of the them the justices could take on next term in the middle of the 2020 election. but then the next round, erin, will be the really -- the megaevent where there would be a clash over the basic right to abortion and that won't come for a while. >> so nia, to this point that some of the case that is joan refers to on access could happen during the election. who does that help democrat talking about the issue but you haven't even mobilization at the polls as much in history or republicans like trump? who says, look, i got these people in i'm moving on this
give me four more years. >> that's right. and this was a real issue for donald trump during the 2016 campaign. he really had to be clear about his stance on abortion and wanting to overturn roe v. wade because conservatives were very skeptical he has been had been all over the place on the key issue for conservatives. and republicans. i think it will be a real test in 2020 to see how each side frames it, right. because, you know, for republicans they would have to defend. what would it mean for women across the country to essentially have to carry a fetus to full term? what would the reality look like? injury now you see the polling obviously on democrats side on wanting abortion and roe v. wade to stand process but it will be a big issue in 2020. >> even those who want fewer abortions, you know, look at the case of a 12-year-old girl rained by a relative who has to cope the child. and perhaps take pause thank you

congressional investigations are intended to obtain information to aid in evaluating potential legislation not to harass political opponents or pursue unauthorized do-over of exhaustive law enforcement investigations conducted which the department of justice. outfront now, one of the people at the center of the feud, the chairman of the house judiciary committee democratic congressman jerry nadler. i appreciate your time, clarm. from what i read in the 12-page letter, harassed, unauthorized. your response. >> my response is that the white house and the department of justice is enabling the white house to try to evade all accountability to the american people. they're saying the president is above the law. that congress has no right to investigate announces of power, obstruction of justice or corruption in the administration. and that's just wrong. the the president is not above the law. they would make him above the law. but the president is not above the law more is anybody else in the united states. and we have to have the ability to investigate these things.
and they're also denying our ability to do our job. we have to work to see that prescription drug prices come down, that -- that the affordable care act is not destroyed, that people keep having coverage for preexisting conditions, that children are not torn from the arms of their parents we border. and to do that we have to be able to hold the administration accountable on behalf of the american people and ner saying congress has no right and they are saying the american people have no right to do this, in effect the president is a tyrant and dictator with no limit on his power. >> you don't think those words are too strong, at this point a tyrant and dictator. >> i don't know whether he is trying but the implication of what they are doing would make the president a tyrant in the sense of not being accountable to the american people not being answerable to congress and that no one could hold him accountable. nas simply unamerican and can't
abide it. >> so the white house, you know for their part, any in this letter they reject the demands chairman for documents and testimony from dozens of current and former white house staffers, right. 81 if you count trump related entities. they say as i quoted there you just want a do-over of the mueller probe. do they have a point at all? is that at all what this is about. >> they do not a point. they are rejecting not only all of knows requests for information with respect to obstruction of justice and corruption and abuse of power in the administration. they are -- they are rejecting requests for information about prescription drug pricing. about -- about the dcepartment f justice trying to destroy the affordable care act. about everything. and that's why this is central. because they are trying to say the executive branch. >> you're saying they are rejecting everything even on things that have nothing to do
with russia. >> yes. >> or mueller anything. >> yes. >> anything you ask. >> basically, yes, that's exactly right. they are denying almost all information. and they are asserting the right of the executive not to be accountable to the american people. and that cannot be. we cannot have a president who is not accountable. and the justice department is -- is supporting the president in evading the law and becoming lawless. and saying that congress has no ability to hold him to the law, and that means nobody does. >> so earlier today you said the department of justice appears reluctant to let the special counsel robert mueller testify. you said if we have to we'll subpoena him. now a justice department official then told cnn that attorney general bill barr has no objection to mueller testifying at all. obviously this is a contradiction. does the attorney general not being forthright? what explains this? >> i don't know what explains this except that the department of justice has not -- has not
been willing so far to set a date for -- for mr. mueller to testify to us. and we have been asking for quite a while. >> do you think you'll have to subpoena mueller to get him to testify? are you willing to do it. >> we are certainly willing. we will use the subpoena power and any other legal power we have with respect to mr. mueller, with mr. mcgahn, with anybody to do our job of holding the administration accountable, finding out what went on, finding out about obstruction of justice and abuse of power, corruption in the administration, and -- and of getting information necessary for the american people for us to do our job for the american people. >> so, you know, you also said house democrats are seriously considering using congress's enhernt contempt powers that ukds impose hefty fines by using the powers. inherent being a crucial word, inherent powers to impose fines
and if people don't pay the fines you could put them in jail. what happens here? can you force them to pay? is jail literally on the table here? >> we are looking at all options to deal with the lawless administration. and everything is being looked at. >> everything is being looked at, including possible jail? >> we're looking at the law. but we will look at all options to force -- to force the administration to -- to be able to hold the administration accountable, whatever that may take, whatever legal remedies we have we will use. >> and chairman i want to ask you about one other story. the governor of alabama she just signed the law banning abortion it's done, signed. including cases of rain and incest, no abortions possible. i know you have strong feelings. you called the law cruel unconstitutional. is roe versus wade in danger in your view. >> yes, roe versus wade is in
danger. i think the supreme court a couple of days ago by 5-4 vote. maid clear by stare zies he is that you don't overrule prior decisions without good cause because they are no longer workable, things have changed is out the window. and i certainly think anybody in the senate who says she is pro choice and voted for brett kavanaugh will be shown up as either very short sighted or hypocritical. >> chairman nadler, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> and next trump's presidency reportedly taking a toll why it's no longer the thriving tower he loves to tout. >> trump tower is the most successful building in new york. >> plus trump's trade war killing a family's livelihood and costing him their votes in the heartland.

and it may be because of the president himself. atheena jones is outfront. >> i just left trump national doral in miami. and it's a great place. i just spent $250 million rebuilding it making it the best resort in the country. >> trump national doral in miami in is one of the president's prized possessions, the resort is facing steep declines in revenue according to the "washington post". the resort net operating income dropped by 69% since 2015. public records obtained by the post show overall revenue dropped by 18% to $75 million between 2015 and 2017. >> this is now the hottest resort of its kind anywhere in the united states. >> doral is not just any property for trump. it's a source of deep pride and has become one of the trump organizations biggest money make zbleers we've had tremendous success. the bookings are through the
roof. >> the company in a tax proceeding reviewed by the post said the doral is severely underperforming similar properties because there is some negative connotation associated with the brand. a trump organization spokewoman respond totd the post report saying the article is absolute garbage. 2018 is one of the best years in the history of the property. precise innings information was not provided. the challenges facing the trump property rbt limited to the doral. >> trump tower is the most successful building in new york. >> one a symbol of the new york high life is now one of the city's least honorable huks luxury building. >> according to bloomberg. trump frequently used the property biltd in 1983 as a back drop for his business. >> money, money. >> his tv show. >> and have turn the name trump into the highest quality brand. >> and politics. >> it's great to be a o at trump tower, great to be a wonderful city, new york. >> but it appears that business
at the tower is far from booming. bloomberg reviews security filings property and other records and found at least 13 condos have sold since the 2016 election most at a loss when adjusted for inflation. several losing more than 20%. >> bloomberg says the building mass also struggled for months to fill more than 42,000 square feet of vacate office space. the donald trump organization declined to comment on this. >> trump tower his name is on there in two spots does that help or hurt for him? >> i can't think that it helps. >> trump's unpopularity in liberal new york could be the p era to blame for the decline in interest in the building. several condo building in the city removed trump's name after his election. but politics is not the only factor. says the real deal richard batchman. >> probably there are another building in the city tough walk by the secret service process.
barricades everywhere. present of people would say why deal with that when there are other options. >> still he says anything will sell if the price is right. >> if you are really successful you'll all live just like this. >> now other trump related projects have face clalgs back in february trump's sons running the trump organization scrapped plans for two new hotel chains in dozens of cities siting what they say is a toxic political environment for the trump brand. erin. >> outfront now jonathan o'connell, business reporter at the "washington post" who broke the story about the doral's financial woes this morning. i mean, jonathan when you hear this, the doral, trump tower, two of president trump's most prized possessions. what does it tell you that they are suffering such dramatic losses? were you surprised by the magnitude? to your first part, i definitely think there is just a smaller pool of people who are willing to do business with -- or go to
properties that have trump on the front of them. whether you are talking about kind of luxury travelers, golfers, people looking for a get away, or corporations who are doing sort of like a board meeting or a corporate retreat or else people renting office space for their company, all those companies and travelers are now thinking about whether they want to affiliate themselves with the trump name. and the portion of those who are deciding they don't want to do that, that's where the pain is coming for the president's business. having said that, even with the rally -- the doral, i was surprised at the magnitude of kind of the drop in business they have had there, because trump is still very popular among a lot of golfers. obviously tiger woods, jack nicklaus, et cetera. a lot of the big names in golf are fine affiliating themselves with trump. but clearly from the numbers more golfers are sort of unwilling to spend their money
with trump than before. >> yeah, i mean, 69%, you know, over the past few years. >> yeah. >> it seems like an incredible stunning drop. you talk about a smaller pool but in the pool are a lot of people who want to stay at the trump international hotel in washington, d.c. it's a polar opposite story there. >> right. and this is kind of the flipside of the story as you mentioned. there is a smaller pool of customers for trump. i think that's true across the country and really internationally. but for the people who are still politically aligned with him, that is some travelers, also in businesses, washington, lobbying groups, political consultants, campaigns. the people aligned with him politically they will continue to spend at his properties and spending more money there. they're willing to pay a premium to be at truch properties, to have their name affiliated with trump and to really kind of especially in washington, or in mar-a-lago really, just be affiliated with the presidency in some which. they pay a premium and that's helping.

iowa corn field, amy nelson is in the middle of solving a problem. >> i would say we're probably about two weeks behind. >> reporter: she has to get a quarter million dollar tractor with a $125,000 planter moving again or her corn crop is done. >> we are going to fill the planter with corn seed. >> reporter: amy is a farmer. she prefers a different title. >> i'm the primary farmer or farm-her. >> reporter: i like that. it is not just her gender that makes her stand out, it is her youth. up until seven years ago, she was finance director of a national organization in a big city. then her dad said he needed help. >> i couldn't handle it any more so one night about 9:00 she was out on her back deck. i said you ever think of coming back home to iowa and helping out? next night she said yeah, we're coming. >> reporter: she quit corporate life and entered you could say a
much different field. now father and daughter work together, managing 1100 acres of corn and soybeans, during one of farming's worst down turns in almost 40 years. larry says president trump's trade war with china will cost them $150,000 this year alone. and vows never to vote for trump again. trump's economics also put pressure on amy to get things right. >> i need to be very cautious of every penny i put in the ground or put into equipment. >> reporter: her days start at 5:00 a.m. how late do you go? >> late as we need. >> reporter: she's also raising two children and married to a nonfarming husband. it may not seem the best time to take over a family business in a male dominated industry in the middle of a crisis. but amy says it is the perfect time for a woman to step in. >> being i think outside of farming has been able for me to
bring some other resources to the table. >> and a different mindset. >> reporter: she believes she's right where she belongs and dad agrees. >> oh, once she came back, she dug into it, and never looked back. >> reporter: amy will be the fifth generation of her family to farm this land. she doesn't miss the corporate world one bit. >> i like my view from the office now. it is a beautiful view. >> martin, obviously tariffs are causing huge, $100 plus,000, $125,000, have they changed how much they're harvesting, what crops they're growing? >> reporter: no, they haven't. they grow corn and soybeans, just about everybody does here in iowa. those are the two most profitable crops. despite what's going on with the trade war, those are still the prominent crops you'll see. they grow about 50% corn, 50%
soybeans. what they've had to do is get smarter about things. they cut back on purchases. they were going to buy a new $650,000 tractor, that's gone to the wayside. business and tech, they have to be smart in both and fortunately amy is. >> i'm curious, martin, her father said he would never vote again for trump, did she weigh in on that or no? >> reporter: no, she didn't. politics is not something that farmers generally are comfortable with. many people were shocked that her father was outspoken as he was. but he truly feels frustrated at this point. >> all right. martin, thank you very much. and next. joe biden or trump, thanks to jeannie.

Aaron Douglas was a leading artist of the
also known as the New Negro Movement. Douglas—along with the
philosopher Alain Locke, whose important 1925 anthology The New
Negro featured Douglas's illustrations—helped set in motion a
new visual language detached from traditional European art training
and absorbing a distinctive African heritage. His style blended the
geometric and angular shapes of Art Deco with the linear rhythm of
Art Nouveau; it bore references to African masks and sculptural
figures, as well as allusions to African dance.
After graduating with a BFA in fine arts
from the University of
Nebraska in 1922, Douglas taught art at high schools in Nebraska
and Missouri. In 1924, he moved to New York, where he served for
two years as an apprentice to the German artist Winold Reiss, whom
he met through Charles S. Johnson, then editor of
Through his covers
for Opportunity and The Crisis
Douglas set forth a new vision for the black artist. His strong,
geometric forms and Egyptian profiles resulted in a style later
described by cultural critic and educator Richard Powell as
In 1926, he loaned his
talents to the first and only issue of
Wallace Thurman's magazine FIRE!! and later designed the
cover of Thurman's short-lived magazine Harlem.
Douglas became the most sought-after book
illustrator and cover
designer among the black writers of the time. Probably his most
controversial cover was for Carl Van Vechten's Nigger
Heaven, a book about Harlem nightlife. His illustrations for
James Weldon Johnson's epic poem God's Trombone, published
in 1927, made him especially popular. Rendered in a painterly
style, the plates formed an allegorical study of Negro experience
based on the spiritual songs of oppression and daily life.
Douglas frequented nightspots in Harlem to
soak up the black
urban scene and incorporate these expressions into his works. He is
known for superb murals that grace the walls of nightclubs and
cultural institutions. Among his best-known work is the series of
murals Aspects of Negro Life, created in 1934 for the 135th
Street branch of the New York Public Library, now called the
Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
In 1938, Douglas moved to Nashville,
Tennessee, to chair the art
department of Fisk University, a position he held until his
retirement in 1966. He passed away in Nashville in 1979.

Effects of Job Accessibility Improved by Public Transport System: Natural Experimental Evidence from the Copenhagen Metro
This study examines the effect of accessibility to urban jobs via a public transport system on individual earnings and commuting behaviour. The effect of improved public transport based accessibility on these outcomes is determined by exploiting the exogenous variation in access to a public rail and Metro system resulting from the construction of a new terminal Metro station connecting southern townships to Copenhagen city centre. The results show that public transport based job accessibility has a positive and permanent effect on individual earnings. The increase in earnings is associated with a change in commuting patterns as the improved access to public transport facilitates a shift from employment within the township to better paid jobs in the city centre, as well as in other suburbs of the Copenhagen Metropolitan area.

Music goes beyond a hobby and becomes a way of life when you listen to hundreds of records just to find that elusive mix that strikes a perfect chord in you. I came upon Blake Allee’s My Best Friends Are Machines mixtape on DatPiff almost a year ago and it’s been cycling through my hip-hop playlist ever since! Now Blake is preparing to release his newest project Televisionn on February 27th and I knew I had to get the inside scoop.
Hailing all the way from Indianapolis, Indiana, Allee’s sound combines creative, post-apocalyptic commentary with amazing production skills. It’s easy to say that I’ve never heard an artist quite like him. With tracks titles such as “Purple iPod”, “Sunset Goggles”, “Wine and Dine a Dinosaur”, and “Wal-Mart Greeter”, you know you are in for some really unique material right up front. Indeed, one of Blake’s greatest strengths as an artist is being able to bring intelligent topics and wordplay into his art without taking his music too seriously.
Another striking trait is Blake’s ability to blend entertainment with social observation – you will clearly hear this in tracks such as “Mila” and “My Best Friends Are Machines”. The former describes a slightly bizarre romance scenario between human beings and technology and the latter details how new relationships are evolving based on the changing world around us. Other tracks such as “Zombies” and “Sunset Goggles” take on heavier topics such as the state of hip-hop and mankind’s natural laissez faire attitude in regards to eminent self-destruction.
Blake’s laid-back flow and distinct prose-style delivery are very solid and directive – in fact, his skit “Rain” showcases his style’s similarities with that of modern poetry. Another distinctive characteristic of his writing is attention to detail – you definitely won’t find any filler bars here! Each line is carefully crafted to tell a part of a story or direct the listener’s attention to a special insight or way of thinking. Fans who appreciate the lyricism of hip-hop will have plenty of quotes to choose from here!
Without further ado, I bring you TricycleOffense.com’s exclusive interview with Blake Allee:
Justin Umstead: So Blake, you are both a vocalist and producer. Which side of the business is more fulfilling for you? Do you enjoy production more or writing and performing vocals?
Blake Allee: It’s tough to choose so I’m going to take the easy way out and say both. Production is great because a good beat can relate to anyone; I feel like production can evolve much more than words. I can make a sound you have never heard, but I can only rearrange the same words you have already heard in a different order. Vocals – though – are how you gain true fans. People quote my lines and tweet my lyrics and that’s what makes people’s hearts and brains explode . Fans who I have never met feel like they know me just by the odd shit that I talk about.
JU: Do you do all of your own mixing and mastering as well? What rewards or challenges do you face on the production front?
BA: Yep! I produce, record, mix, master, and also do the artwork – everything that results in the finished product. The biggest reward for me is giving someone a completely original creation. This music would not exist without me. Nobody else had a hand in it – so whether my listeners like it or hate it – there is only one person that’s responsible. The biggest challenge is that it takes a lot of time. Any mainstream artist you hear has outside production, mixers, and engineers who focus exclusively on mastering. It’s tough to compete with the best of the best in every category AND still hold down a job. But I like it! Very few can say they have done everything and it feels more real to me.
JU: Do you have a philosophy that governs what you like to talk about on a track? What are some of the rewards or challenges you face on the vocal front?
BA: My main focus is to push the boundaries of music. If I turned my lyrics into a book of poetry I want those high class intellectuals to respect it. At the same time, even if a rapper doesn’t like my style, I want them to have to admit my rhyme schemes are very complex. But I guess at the end of the day, I’m just saying whatever is on my mind.
JU: Tell me a little about how you were introduced into the hip-hop scene. Did you start rapping or producing first? How long has your career been?
BA: I recorded my first rap in 5th grade – I’m not sure where it is but it’s still around somewhere. Hip-hop has always been a dream of mine! I started making beats in high school, but they were amateur at first – so instead I just rapped over video game beats. I was introduced into the hip-hop scene as a producer. I wanted to produce for other artists so when I started performing at shows people would already know who I was and that I could produce. Everybody needs a good beat but not everyone can make them – anybody and their mom can rap! At this point I would say I’m equally known as a rapper and a producer.
JU: My Best Friends Are Machines is largely a solo effort. Have you ever teamed up to do a group project?
BA: I’ve produced for many people and I’ve also been featured as a rapper on quite a few songs too. As far as a group project, the blog http://www.bringingdowntheband.com had a series called Beats and Breakfast. Basically, we would bring breakfast to Lonegevity’s place (who runs the site) and hang out while we wrote and worked on music. They released the songs as a compilation called #beatsandbreakfast Season 1. I think I’m on eight of the ten tracks.
JU: Can you give us an idea of what the rap scene is like in Indianapolis? What are some of the challenges you face? How is your local support system (are other artists supportive or are they more independent or indifferent)?
BA: Man, Indianapolis is such an odd scene . Literally nobody has ever broken this city. The radio will not play our top hip-hop artists (except for the ones with connections or money), the venues will not book a lot of hip-hop shows, and the same group of people seem to get all of the opportunities time and time again. Our main challenge is that people see us as “local” rappers. Your average person wants to go see the next big star and we don’t get a lot of opportunities to benefit from that. Even the bigger hip-hop blogs such as 2dopeboyz or Nahright refuse to post up anyone from here. There are a few people here, though, that are incredibly dope – I think it’s actually one of the most artistically advanced scenes around! Despite that, many of us support each other– and that’s pretty awesome.
JU: Could you tell us a little about Televisionn? Did you do all of the production for it? Do you have any interesting features? What sort of tracks can we expect?
BA: Televisionn! Yes, once again I did everything for this one. Features are an area I’m still debating, but as of right now Grey Granite, Pope Adrian Bless, and at least one more feature will be on there. The project itself is essentially done. I tweak, edit, and re-edit so much that I can’t honestly admit that I’m done yet. I’m so proud of this project! What to expect? Man, I can truly say this is one of the most forward-thinking projects I have ever heard in any genre – and I listen to music allllll day long. Not just “Oh, this is good” but more like “If you listen to this in your headphones in a dark room all alone, you may just rethink your life.” At the very least, the production is very different from most hip-hop and the story line and flow will convince you that I put serious thought into it. I hope people will let their guard down and open up their minds. If they do that, then they will get it.
JU: What is your primary goal with your music? Would you be more interested in building your own label or getting signed? Where would you like to take your music?
BA: The goal is to reach as many people as possible – I honestly don’t care about the money. It would be nice, though, to make enough money to live in a small studio apartment and support myself without a typical job – even if that meant eating ramen noodles for every meal. Saying “changing peoples’ lives” sounds so dramatic – so I will say “changing their perspective on what hip-hop – or music itself – can be”. At the same time having fun and meeting interesting people are definitely important to me. The only reason I would want to get signed is because being on a label puts you in a position where blogs, magazines, and other promoters will give you shine. It’s hard competing for attention with millions of rappers out there. On the other side of the coin, I hate the idea of people paying for my music! I always want my songs to be free and easily accessible to anyone interested in listening.
JU: You say you want to change music, how so? Which direction do you see hip-hop headed and how would you like to stem that?
BA: The self-contained artist – music as art. I do not want to be in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame….I want to be played on the speakers of the Louvre. I’m not the first and I won’t be the last to make a mixtape/album that feels like a story, or even make all his own beats, but I believe if the right people hear Televisionn then music’s creative boundaries will be shattered. Honestly, think about how manufactured music seems! This guy maintains the image, this guy does the beat, this girl makes the artwork, this team tells you what songs to pick, and for safe measure you better throw in a ghost writer. That’s music? FFuuuucckkkkk that! I’ll make exactly what I want to make and I won’t have a million hands in it telling me whether it’s going to sell or be popular or not. I hope the future of music is people making music for the love of music and not for the money. I doubt that will happen though – money rules the world.
JU: Are there any other points you would like to add (new projects, new videos, exciting news, etc.)?
BA: Thanks for taking the time to listen to my music! Televisionn comes out February 27th!!
So there you have it folks! Make sure you catch the premiere of Blake’s new mixtape Televisionn and check out his latest news here: @BlakeAllee

Q. Over the last few months there has been a lot of media attention on sexual harassment and sexual discrimination in the workplace, particularly in certain industries such as the media, film and television (both in Australia and internationally). Which of the following statements is closest to your view?
|Total||Vote Labor||Vote Lib/Nat||Vote Greens||Vote other||Men||Women||Aged 18-34||Aged 35-54||Aged 55+|
|It is important that these cases of harassment and discrimination are exposed and those involved take responsibility for their past behavior.||71%||76%||70%||81%||60%||69%||73%||75%||68%||71%|
|Exposing these cases could unfairly harm reputations for things that happened in the past and claims that may be exaggerated.||17%||14%||20%||11%||30%||19%||15%||14%||17%||21%|
71% agree it is important to expose cases of sexual harassment and discrimination and 17% think exposing these cases could cause harm. There were not major differences by demographics. Greens voters (81%) were more likely to favour exposing these cases and other party voters less likely (60%).

- Measures Phosphate Levels in Aquarium
- Quick and Easy to Read Results
- Helps Identify Excess Phosphates That Cause Algae
The Phosphate test kit from API is used to measure the levels of phosphates in the aquarium. Phosphates are necessary in small amounts for plants to thrive and should be present in planted tanks. However, excess phosphates can cause excessive algae growth and can harm fish health given high enough levels. It can be found in the water column of your fish tank from fish waste, decaying organic matter such as dead leaves or can even come straight from tap water. Ensure the level of phosphate in your aquarium is up to par with this easy to use test kit.
Shipped super fast and didn’t realized that phosphates were off the chart, I felt there was something off about my aquarium thanx to Cory’s videos I didn’t even think about phosphates until I saw the video. Bought the kit from co-op because I like the service and products they provide. Learned that phosphates were way to high despite water changes and low feeding and decreasing ferts. Trying the their phosphate pad and hopefully that will bring it down
It’s really good to know your phosphates especially if algae starts to show up. This kit helps you correctly balance water chemistry in a planted tank.
Gives accurate results to help track your phosphates to control algae.
Accurate and fast, I recommend this
I have been dealing with hair algae for a few months in my 60 gallon aquarium. It was suggested that I get a phosphate test kit because hair algae takes advantage of excess phosphorus in the tank. I thought I was doing enough water changes based on checking nitrates alone, but testing with this API phosphate kit showed me that I had elevated levels that were likely causing the hair algae to explode. I've increased my water change amounts and frequency to decrease the phosphates, and I believe I'm seeing an impact on the spread of the hair algae! Highly recommend this kit for anyone that is concerned about phosphates in their aquarium.

A 794-acre glacier-formed lake lies at the heart of the town of Cedar Lake. The lake is one mile long, two miles wide and only 16 feet deep.
Cedar Lake once was a resort area, featuring big bands like Jimmy Dorsey during the 1940s and '50s. Like neighboring towns, its origins are linked with German farmers but currently it's the industry from nearby steel mills and other manufacturers that feeds residents.
Located due south of Hammond, 45 minutes from Chicago, the town is in the middle of Lake County, straddling both Hanover Township to the west and Center Township to the east.
The two townships have separate school districts. Hanover Community School District Corp. includes Jane Ball and Lincoln Elementary School and Hanover Central Jr./Sr. High School, which has more than 800 students. The school has good track, basketball and golf teams but no football squad.
Center Township's Douglas MacArthur Elementary School is in town, but graduates are bused six miles to Robert A. Taft Junior High and Crown Point High School. Cedar Lake's sole parochial school closed last year.
Housing is a mishmash of styles, from single-story modular structures to converted vacation cabins to vinyl- or wood-sided three-bedroom ranches, bilevels and trilevels of less than 1,500 square feet. Some include attached garages. A small three-bedroom house sells for as little as $65,000.
Although most of the newer housing is farther from the lake, a few lakefront lots still can be found. New growth to the north and east includes at least three new subdivisions:
--Havenwood features 361 homes ranging from $150,000 to $225,000.
--Robin's Nest has 211 homes from $140,000 to $180,000 on lots of at least 85 by 130 feet.
--August Woods is a more upscale development of quarter- to half-acre lots. The 33 new homes will average 1,500 to 2,000 square feet of space.
Cedar Lake has a 13-member police department and a 24-member volunteer fire department. Senior services and other health care are provided at St. Anthony Medical Center, six miles away in Crown Point. Cedar Lake's four doctors practice at Cedar Lake Medical Clinic.
Recreation in the area includes Lemon Lake Park, adjacent to Red Cedars Museum. The town park has a beach and fishing pier. Cedar Lake also sponsors sailboat races every spring at the Cedar Lake Yacht Club. There are two 18-hole golf courses here, one public, one private.
For a $4.75 adult-resident annual license, residents may catch the plentiful pan fish. Swimmers in the state-owned lake must disregard its muddy look, which occurs largely due to sediment. Boating and jet and water skiing are also popular.
A 404-acre wetland, the largest in the state, lies outside town, contributing to the open-space feel.
"It's an apple-pie kind of town where people don't lock their doors," said Chamber of Commerce head Diane Josters. It's peaceful, but no utopia: Josters cautions patience for drivers traveling Cedar Lake's one two-lane thoroughfare.

Public hearing date set for Webster's Corner changesBy ADAM SWIFT

DERRY - The Planning Board has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed zoning changes to the general commercial district along Rockingham Road in the Webster's Corner section of town for its Wednesday, April 17, meeting.
Last year, the Planning Board held several workshop meetings on a proposed change to an office/medical/business zone for the current general commercial zone in anticipation of public water and sewer coming to the area.
Planning and town officials undertook the proposed changes as a way to enhance the development of the district.
That change in the zoning designation was scrapped, however, when many of the property owners objected to the proposed exclusion of gas stations and automobile sales and service businesses in the district.
In an effort to take the property owners' concerns into account, the board looked at keeping the area zoned general commercial but establishing a 1,000-foot buffer zone for service stations and automobile sales businesses.
Many residents and property owners in the district have still objected to the change and the buffer zone, stating it would limit how they could develop and devalue their properties.

Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell:
Campbell Soup — The food company reported adjusted quarterly profit of 46 cents per share, 4 cents a share below estimates. Revenue was just shy of forecasts. Campbell said it was not pleased with the quarterly results, pointing specifically to "execution issues" with its Campbell Fresh business. Its full-year EPS forecast of $3 to $3.09 is also shy of the consensus estimate of $3.14 a share.
Joy Global — The mining equipment maker earned an adjusted 10 cents per share for its latest quarter, 2 cents a share below estimates. Revenue was also below forecasts. Joy said that market conditions remain "extremely challenged."
Salesforce.com — The cloud software company reported adjusted quarterly profit of 24 cents per share, 2 cents a share above estimates. Revenue was very slightly above forecasts, but its current-quarter revenue and profit estimates came in below Street estimates.
Shoe Carnival — Shoe Carnival's earnings fell 5 cents a share below estimates, with quarterly profit of 22 cents per share. Revenue was below forecasts, as were the shoe retailer's comparable-store sales.
Box — Box lost an adjusted 14 cents per share for its latest quarter, 5 cents smaller a share than estimated. The online file sharing company saw revenue come in above Street forecasts, however, and Box raised its full-year outlook on improving sales.
Apple — Apple CEO Tim Cook told a Dublin radio station that the company expects to repatriate billions of dollars back to the U.S. next year, although he did not specify an amount. He also called the European Union's $14.5 billion tax bill for the company "total political crap."
Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts — Shares in the casino operators could benefit from news that gaming revenue in Macau rose by 1.1 percent in August, the first monthly year-over-year growth in the Chinese territory since May of 2014.
Wal-Mart Stores — The retail giant is beginning its holiday layaway program tomorrow, two weeks early, hoping to get a jump on the holiday shopping season.
Lazard — Lazard erred in its analysis of SolarCity's worth in its work advising the solar equipment company on its sale to Tesla Motors, according to a regulatory filing, undervaluing SolarCity by $400 million. However, the purchase price of $2.6 billion was within the valuation range even with the miscalculation factored in.
McDonald's — McDonald's named Executive Vice President Christopher Kempczinski as the new president of McDonald's USA as of the end of the year, following the retirement of current president Michael Andres.
JPMorgan Chase — The bank was given a stand-alone asset management license in China, according to a regulatory filing.
Costco — The discount retailer reported flat global comparable-store sales for August, and flat comps in the U.S., as well. Both measures had been expected to rise by 1.3 percent, according to estimates from Thomson Reuters.
Five Below — Five Below raised its forecast for the full year, after the discount retailer reported better-than-expected results for its most recent quarter. However, it gave downbeat guidance for the current quarter, which includes the back to school shopping season as well as Halloween.

The Battle of Britain. Pearl Harbor. Stalingrad. The Holocaust. Seventy years later, the events and places of the Second World War echo in our minds, in stories we’ve told over and over, in novels, memoirs, television and film. One might think there is nothing new to discover, no secrets left unexamined. But the truth is that much of that history still remains hidden and forgotten, not because of conspiracy or government secrets, but merely because few have bothered to look— except for novelist Ruta Sepetys.
But as Ruta herself says, that was only ever half of the story. Because though the war had ended, Lithuania would remain in the Soviet grip for fifty years. And among those in that grip, were the other half of the Sepetys family—the aunts, uncles and cousins she never knew, who had not slipped from Stalin’s noose.
And a noose it was. From 1941 through 1944, Stalin arrested, tortured, deported and murdered Lithuania’s political and intellectual classes en masse, in a ruthless effort to crush the Lithuanian nation and erase its culture from Europe, replaced by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Communist Party.
Ruta’s family was part of that purge. Herded into crude train cars built for cattle, with the outside labelled “Thieves and Prostitutes,” Lithuanian doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, and their families, including the elderly, children and even infants, were shipped across the breadth of Russia to Siberia, some even forced to settle in the tundra above the Arctic Circle. Denied food, medicine, winter clothing and even the most rudimentary shelter, countless numbers died from neglect and exposure. Others were killed outright by the brutal NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB of the Cold War era. And, of course, any of Lithuania’s political or military classes, not to mention college professors and journalists, were never sent to Siberia; they were carted into Soviet prisons on trumped up charges, tried, convicted and executed by Stalin for the Glory of Mother Russia.
Most in the West had no idea, or for that matter, even cared.
Until Ruta Sepetys asked what happened to her cousins.
In her curiosity, Sepetys found the forgotten story of her family and the Lithuanian people—a story she had never fully known. As she says, there was only one thing she knew to do: pick up a pen, and write.
But this blog is about novels, not just one book.
Because Ruta has found another forgotten piece of history to bring before the world. And it’s the answer to this question:
What is the greatest maritime disaster in history?
The sinking of the Titanic?
Not even close.
It is the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustoff, a civilian liner acting as a refugee ship, and filled by Baltic and German civilians trying to escape the rape of eastern Europe by the Soviet Red Army. The Gustoff went down in the freezing Baltic Sea, in the winter of 1945, sunk not by an accidental encounter with an iceberg, but a torpedo strike from a Soviet submarine. On board were an estimated ten thousand people; almost all were civilian refugees. Barely a thousand survived.
Nine thousand souls lost. Nine thousand stories forgotten.
But not by Ruta.
You’ll have to wait until February to read Salt to the Sea, but Between Shades of Gray is available now on our Teen Room shelves. Pick it up, and transport yourself into a history you never knew, and a story you will never forget.

Poppy seeds have been found to contain profilin allergens, those especially sensitive to these proteins may have allergic reactions to poppy seeds.
Allergic reactions caused by eating poppy seeds are sometimes thought to be caused by Bet v 1-like proteins, which cause reactions in people sensitised to birch tree pollen and give oral allergy type symptoms.
Recently a study has found that poppy seeds contain 2S albumin proteins, more commonly found in nuts and seeds. Individuals sensitive to these proteins may react to the 2S albumin proteins in the seeds.
I have put together some more comprehensive resources at http://www.allergyresources.co.uk/Poppy.php
The allergy resources page for poppy seed covers the key allergens, which allergic syndromes are linked to this allergy and other foods which are commonly cross reactive with poppy seed.
There is also regularly updated links to useful websites specifically for poppy seed allergies and the latest research papers on the topic.
If you have multiple allergies and are interested in how they are linked or want to find out more about food allergies outside the usual top 14 then you can follow me on Facebook or Twitter, where I share a food allergy card every day of the week.
