It's buses all the way down in this report that looks to offer suggestions on how to improve each region's public transportation network with a eye toward better connectivity between all three cities.
This week in transit: Ride the bus to Short Pump today
This week in transit: RPS high school students ride for free
The unlimited bus pass program for RPS high school students begins on October 1st! If you're a parent or guardian of an RPS high school student, and want them to have unlimited bus access to all our City has to offer (at no cost to you!), you'll need to fill out this permission slip (PDF) and return it to your school's liaison. If you have any questions about how the program works, you should read this handy FAQ, and if you've still got questions, shoot an email to Pass Program Administrator Kendra Norrell (
One week from today GRTC will launch its next round of bus service updates which include a bus to Short Pump and expanded hours on its major lines. This is huge and exciting! You can find a list of those changes (plus all of the other changes going live on September 16th) over on GRTC's website.
As always, if you have any questions about how you, your business, your congregation, or your bus-curious friends and family can take advantage of the new lines, please reach out and let us know! We're happy to help.
Today, here are a bunch of links about the connections between housing and transit:
- CityLab looks at a new study that finds that commute distance impacts the likelihood of a person getting a callback for a job interview. As affordable housing moves further away from city centers, and further away from transit, commute times increase and opportunities decrease.
- As Charlotte works on a ballot measure to dump $50 million into their housing trust fund, they'll focus on "making housing investments that consider employment and transportation amenities."
- The California state legislature passed a bill (which is on its way to the governor's desk) that would "allow the Bay Area Rapid Transit system to establish zoning standards for its station areas so that it can easily build more housing there." BART has set a goal of building 20,000 units, with 30% of them affordable, by 2040.
- A transit advocacy group in San Diego has released a report detailing how many affordable homes could be build on all the parking lots owned by that city's transit agency. Spoiler: It's a lot.

This week in transit: See you in Henrico on September 25th
Join us on September 25th at the Henrico Board of Supervisors in a display of support for public transportation. We're looking for at least 40 folks to come out, wear green, and look supportive. We'll have a couple of people signed up for public comment, and when they ask you to stand up, you stand up. That's it! So easy. This particular meeting comes about a week after Henrico begins service on the largest expansion of public transit in the County in the last 25 years—so we're there mostly to thank the Board for their work and encourage further expansion.
While this effort is put together by our region's faith-based leaders, it is certainly not a strictly faith-based gathering.
Justin Mattingly at the Richmond Times-Dispatch spoke with Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras as we get ready to head into the new school year. Kamras talks about the challenges facing the district, equity, and his plans to address racial segregation in schools. As he considers theme-based magnet schools and district rezoning, he recognizes that "transportation becomes a huge equity issue when you try to pursue something like that, so that's going to have to be a huge investment as we think about that going forward." This, of course, remains true after our region's youth move on from school and into the workforce. Richmonders should have access to the region's jobs, regardless of whether or not they can own and drive a car.
Richmond Magazine just published their 2018 Best & Worst list—a reader survey spread across a million and one different categories. This year they asked their readers to finish this sentence: "The GRTC Pulse will..." The number one answer: "The GRTC Pulse will be great." Love it!
City Lab has an extensive history of transit in the U.S. titled "How America Killed Transit." It's depressing, but worth your time. Here's the gist: "What happened? Over the past hundred years the clearest cause is this: Transit providers in the U.S. have continually cut basic local service in a vain effort to improve their finances. But they only succeeded in driving riders and revenue away. When the transit service that cities provide is not attractive, the demand from passengers that might 'justify' its improvement will never materialize."
As you know, I'm keeping an eye on cities implementing electric bus pilot programs. Rochester just launched one after winning a federal grant that allowed them to buy one bus and a charging system. Total cost of the program: $2.3 million! These things, while definitely the future, are expensive.
The 2018 Sorriest Bus Stops tournament continues, and this week it's down to the Final Four of bad bus stops. The stop in Cincinnati is terrible, but, wow, the one in Vancouver is not a place I would ever feel safe getting on and off a bus.

This week in transit: More transit arrives on September 16th
GRTC needs extras for their new marketing campaign to promote public transportation in Henrico County. They're looking for folks on a bunch of different days, so if you'd like to be a bus model, just send an email to
Here are the details:
- What: Extras needed for film and still photography to promote Henrico service changes.
- Potential film dates: Wednesday September 5th, Thursday September 6th, Friday September 7th, and Monday September 10th. We are shooting for two days, however, we have baked in rain dates in the event the weather is not cooperative.
- Potential still photography dates: Thursday, September 13th, Friday September 14th, Monday September 17th, and Tuesday September 18th. We are shooting for two days, however, we have baked in rain dates in the event the weather is not cooperative.
- Contact information:
- Tentative Schedule: 7:30 AM–5:00 PM
- Who: 7 years old and up, all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Expanded bus service in Henrico begins on September 16th, which is right around the corner! The County has put together this neat page with an explanation of the changes you should expect. The bus to Short Pump kind of steals the show, but expanded night and weekend hours is a big deal—and don't sleep on the fact that the #19 (aka the Short Pump bus) is now a $1.50 bus instead of a $2.00 bus. This means less complicated and cheaper transfers between it and the rest of the system.
Also on September 16th, a whole slew of tweaks and updates to the rest of GRTC's system goes live. Most exciting: The Pulse will begin service at 5:00AM and will have its frequency increased from every 15-minutes to every 10-minutes until 7:00 PM (thanks VCU!). Also exciting, in addition to all of the Henrico stuff mentioned above, the #18 will now connect the Willow Lawn Pulse station to both Libbie Mill and the Staples Mill train station.
Back in June, when the Pulse opened, I spent the day riding the bus around with Blaine Lay of the Two People Podcast. He recorded our adventure, and you can listen to it here if you've ever wondered what a Day in the Life of Ross is like.
Joelle Ballam at TransitCenter rode one of New York City's new, pilot-program electric buses, and has some thoughts about transit agencies moving all or part of their fleet to electric. Noting the obvious health and sustainability advantages of electric buses, Ballam cautions: "One potential pitfall of the declarations for all-electric fleets is that agencies may be inviting technical performance problems to go along with their other systemic issues." That seems like wisdom.
Every year, Streets Blog hosts the Sorriest Bus Stop Tournament. Riders from around the country submit photos of the worst bus stops in their towns, folks vote, and then an eventual...champion?...is crowned. We're in the Elite Eight at the moment, and, dang, those are some bad bus stops. Of course Richmond has its fair share of terribly unsafe and inhumane bus stops, but I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like that "bus stop" in Cincinnati. If you frequent a local stop and think it'd be improved by a bench, trash can, or shelter, drop

Isaiah Project Speaks
The Isaiah Project organizes encouraging, broad-based showings of support for expanded public transportation during public comment period at Board of Supervisors meetings in Henrico and in Chesterfield. We go out four times a year, twice to Henrico and twice to Chesterfield. These outings are called "Isaiah Project Speaks." While communities of faith in each locality lead the way, we invite broad regional solidarity and participation.
At each meeting, we will have a few speakers during the Public Comment Period. All you have to do is show up, look encouraging, and rise together when one of our speakers invites supporters to stand. As you're able, please wear something green (RVA Rapid Transit also has green "Ready to Ride!" t-shirts you can purchase at cost for $6 - simply contact info@rvarapidtransit). We will also have an opportunity to pray ahead of the meeting.
So that we can get a sense of numbers, please rsvp here for Isaiah Project Speaks in Henrico on Sept 25 and here for Isaiah Project Speaks in Chesterfield on Oct 24. We are hoping to have at least 40 people of faith out at each of these meetings this fall. Your participation makes the difference!

This week in transit: A CEO search!
Quick reminder! Our faith-based screening of Free to Ride is this coming Tuesday, August 21st at 1:00 PM. You can learn more and register over on Eventbrite.
Now, on to the news!
By now, you've probably heard that GRTC's CEO David Green will resign at the end of the month. Green has a long list of achievements to take credit for during his tenure, including the Pulse, the bus network redesign, and new bus stop signage. Filling in for Green while GRTC conducts a CEO search is Charles Mitchell. Mitchell previously served as GRTC's interim CEO, so he should be familiar with the job!
I'm also sure you heard about the arrival of Bird electric scooters in town over the past couple of days. These little guys are an excellent way to get to or from public transit, helping with the first/last-mile problem. Since the scooter company popped up without giving the City a heads up, their future in Richmond is...uncertain. For now, though, it looks like they'll keep operating despite City complaints.
If you've ever checked the real-time bus arrival information for the Pulse and seen several buses all arriving at the same time instead of evenly spaced every 15 minutes, that's called bus bunching. It happens for a variety of small reasons that quickly compound over time resulting in a big impact on the bus schedule—like Ian Malcom said in Jurassic Park, "You see a Tyrannosaur doesn't follow a set pattern or park schedules, the essence of chaos" (but with buses instead of dinosaurs). For an intense and math-heavy discussion of the whys and hows of bus bunching, read this post by transit genius Alon Levy. Luckily, there are some easy things that we can do to ease bus bunching: all-door boarding, bigger buses, bus-only lanes, giving the buses signal priority. Keep this in mind next time you ride the Pulse: The quicker you board, the better the buses stay on schedule—don't be afraid to get on through the back door!
Fare capping is awesome! I hope that once GRTC rolls out their planned fare technology upgrades later this year—specifically, reloadable tap cards—they'll consider implementing a fare-capping policy. This sort of policy allows folks who ride the most to get the benefits of the 7-day and 30-day unlimited ride passes without having to drop a ton of cash upfront. It also eliminates the need to do any sort of mental math to figure out if an unlimited ride pass is "worth it." You just ride, ride, ride as much as you need and you'll end up with the best deal possible.
Check out this pop-up flower bomb at a bus stop in Everett, Massachusetts. Make sure you watch a bit of the video because the photos don't do it justice.

This week in transit: Free to Ride on August 21st
On August 21st, the Isaiah Project (our faith-based outreach initiative) will host a screening of Free to Ride. This documentary explores the intersection of public transportation and Civil Rights in Dayton, Ohio plus raises key issues about the important role public transportation plays in our communities and the role faith groups can have in advocating for change. You can see the trailer of the film here, and you can RSVP here (but the event is free!).
Also, July's nearly done, and RVA Rapid Transit is still on the hunt for 100 new supporters. If you'd like to donate (any amount!) to our work of advocating, educating, and organizing for a frequent and far-reaching public transportation system, you can do so over on our website.
According to a new study, Uber, Lyft, and other ride-hailing services (aka Transportation Network Companies or TNCs) are not reducing traffic in American cities. Keep in mind, though, this research mostly applies to large American cities. However, this makes a lot of sense wherever you live: "The main conclusion is that TNCs are bound to generate more car traffic in cities for two reasons: They mostly draw passengers who wouldn't have otherwise used a car, and each TNC trip includes significant mileage with no passenger."
Speaking of fixing congestion, the head of Washington DOT says the state can't highway-build their way out of traffic. In fact, he says that the issue stems from a lack of affordable housing in the transit-rich city center, which, in turns, forces folks to live in the outlying suburbs which lack public transportation.
Cincinnati may look to an increase in sales tax to help fund its current public transportation system. Here's a good explanation of why a regional tax for public transportation helps everyone, even if you never plan on riding the bus: "If you don't ride the bus, this still affects you. It affects the tax rate on everything you buy in Hamilton County. And public transit, whether you use it personally or not, is key to a city's success or failure. It affects the environment, when there are more or fewer exhaust pipes on the road. It affects the unemployment rate and investment, whether companies want to move to a city or not."

This week in transit: Pulse ridership numbers
Just a tiny, quick reminder that we're quickly approaching the end of July, and RVA Rapid Transit is quickly approaching our goal of 100 new supporters before the month's end. You can make a donation, of any amount, on our website.
A couple days ago, I got my hands on ridership numbers from the first three weeks of Pulse service. I went ahead and wrote up three quick takeaways from these initial numbers: 1) Ridership consistently exceeded goals, 2) Lots of folks are connecting at Willow Lawn, and 3) The Pulse is a fast way to get across town. You can download the PDF of the numbers yourself and dig in. Please let me know if you find your own interesting takeaways!
On Friday, I took part in a panel on how the Pulse and the other improvements to our public transportation network could impact tourism in the Richmond region. Turns out, when folks from out of town come to visit, they expect robust and functional public transit. Not only that, but the thousands of employees that support our local tourism industry can benefit from a frequent and far-reaching public transportation network. It's not a zero-sum game: Building high-quality public transportation benefits everyone in the entire region.
The Charlotte Area Transit System, headed up by once-and-former Richmonder John Lewis, has announced the details of their massive new transit plan. Better transit to the airport! Light rails! Transit tunnels! Whoa!
Albuquerque continues to face serious issues in launching their BRT, but, as they continue to push forward, they've implemented a $80 fine for driving in the bus-only lanes. While Richmond may have an issue with folks parking in the curbside BRT lanes, I haven't seen a ton of people driving in our bus-only lanes. But, enforcement like this is an important part of prioritizing a bus full of people trying to get to work over a single, empty car.
Our friends at TransitCenter have released a new report focused on building an inclusive and equitable public transportation system (PDF). You can read a summary of the report over on StreetsBlog if you'd like!

A man who paid for the sexual services of a 14-year-old girl was sentenced to 10 months' jail yesterday for sex with a minor.
Abdul Rahim Abubakar, 30, a boarding officer who faced three charges, had admitted to one charge of getting the girl to perform oral sex on him at a flat in Telok Blangah Crescent some time in February 2012.
Two charges of oral and anal sex were considered during his sentencing.
The court heard that he contacted the girl via SMS after getting her telephone number from a mutual acquaintance.
He offered to pay her $60 for her sexual services and she agreed.
He met her at Telok Blangah Drive and paid the cab fare when she alighted from a taxi, wearing her school uniform.
He took her to his friend's flat at Telok Blangah Crescent where he gave her $40 before the sexual act.
Before she left, he asked her for $20, saying he would give it to her another day. She lodged a police report on March 26 that year, saying she had performed fellatio for some men on four occasions between November 2011 and March 2012.
In mitigation, his lawyer Teo Choo Kee said Rahim had sought sex from someone he thought was a prostitute, albeit a young one.
He said the offence arose from a commercial sex transaction which unfortunately involved an underage girl.
"He is remorseful and regrets receiving oral sex during those few moments of repressed desire," said Mr Teo.
Rahim, who was allowed to defer serving his sentence until Aug 25, could have been jailed for up to 10 years and/or fined for sexual penetration of a person below age 16.

I found two things that I think would be awesome to check out on this July 4th weekend: sleeping and eating. Nope sorry sleeping, eating and binge watching Orange is the New Black. What? Why can't you do that this weekend? Kids! Right….I forgot. Man they know how to ruin good weekend plans huh?
As you screamed out of work excited for the three-day weekend a cloud of dread might have come over you as you realize that 1. your children no longer have school and 2 they also have a three day weekend. Its ok though. Fourth of July is always an amazing time with tons of things to do in New York. Expect crowds and plan accordingly if you are heading out with your kids. Bring snacks, hand sanitizer and patience!
Your weekend plans should include one of the following: A trip to the beach, the movies or a barbecue. A six flags, splish splash, dinosaur field station , Dorney Park or Coney Island is entirely up to you. I personally try to avoid theme parks during long holiday weekends because of the stifling amount of human beings. I get nervous with my kids.
I found out that there are remote control sailboats for rent in Central Park. For $11 you can race a wind powered sailboat around Central Park's Water Conservatory. There is stargazing at Lincoln Center and a small music festival at the South Street Seaport. There is free Kayaking at Brooklyn bridge park. Madam Tussauds museum is having a Ghostbusters virtual reality experience opening today! (I'd check to see if there is a Groupon for this). The children's art museum of Manhattan as a workshop Saturday. There is a large musical instrument in Battery Park City that operates by you swinging on it…..perfect for kids! This is how I would plan my weekend…
I would start the day with a Movie, either TMNT, Finding Dory or the BFG. Around 11am after breakfast. Approx 2.5 hrs.
I would have lunch then find a nice city park (Battery, Central or Prospect) lay out a blanket. And either play with a soccer ball or fly drones (remote control helicopters work to and are cheaper). This doesn't cost much and literally could take you all day. Which is the point. I would finish by getting some ice cream and making sure you talk with your little one. Approx 3/4 hrs.
You should be able to head home fix dinner, have a bath and have your little one knocked out in bed.
I would head to Central Park to race sailboats after breakfast. This sounds like a really relaxing afternoon activity and again something that can allow you to talk and be goofy with your child. Factor in lunch which could just be hot dogs from a vendor. Approx 1 hr
I'd walk down to time square (a way to extend the afternoon) to Madam Tussauds ghostbuster exhibit. I'd aim to get there for 3/4 o'clock. Afterwards I'd stop at coldstone ice cream brewery across the street for a cold treat. I'd head home to fix dinner (probably leftovers from yesterday) read a book and put my little ones to bed. *Netfilx and chill time*
That's right you have one more day! Id wak up late today and wait for the BBQ text/email. Definitely find a friend, neighbor or family member who is grilling and take the kids. The beach or water park are also options but would take some planning. Finding a great place to watch the Macy's Fireworks is always a great activity. July 4th I wouldn't try to plan too much. Enjoy seeing your children. Play video games with them or take them to the park. Its been a long weekend but if you balance it with activities and down time for yourself you can survive.

Phosphatidylserine …. say that a few times fast!! I'm sure that's why most companies that sell it just put PS on the label. This little discovery of mine has proven to be quite interesting! There are so many benefits… It's naturally occuring in the brain, and like with everything else, as we age the amount of PS declines and so does our brain function…. You've heard the expression "senior moment", well this is what's happening!
Phosphatidylserine shows benefits for improved focus and reduced stress in clinical trials, which can help to lessen some symptoms linked to ADHD.
It is favored by many parents as an adjunct ADHD treatment for their children, particularly among those who are concerned about side effects of pharmaceutical stimulants used to treat this disorder currently.
PS can also cause a calming effect and can help reduce cortisol so taking it AFTER a workout can be very beneficial!!
So if you'd like more focus, better memory, improved learning, and a sense of calm this may be a great supplement for you!

Hannover signed Turkey international Mevluet Erdinc from French outfit AS Saint-Etienne, the German Bundesliga club confirmed via the club's official homepage on Friday.
The "Reds" bolster their offence with the signing of striker Erdinc, who put pen to paper on three-year deal that keeps him until June 2018 with the Lower Saxony side. The new arrival received the shirt number 39.
"We have worked hard on this transfer because it was clear to us that Mevluet Erdinc is that type of striker we want to have. We are delighted that he is a player of Hannover from now on. He is a dynamic and robust team player," Hannover's sporting director Dirk Dufner said.
The 28-year-old striker played already for a number of French top-flight clubs, such as Stade Rennes, Paris Saint-Germain and FC Sochaux. He provided overall 110 assist and 82 goals in 256 appearances. Besides that, he donated eight goals in 33 caps for Turkey's national team.
"It makes me proud to wear the shirt of Hannover for the future. My goal is to be successful with the team," Erdinc said.
Hannover face newly promoted Darmstadt at the first round in Bundesliga on August 15.

Dr Glynn Percival of Bartlett Tree Research Laboratory, who has also tested the traps, said: "I have found the traps to be easy to install and replace the pheromone. Preliminary results demonstrate the traps are good at anticipating leaf miner numbers and provide a degree of control". More tests are under way at RHS Harlow Carr gardens in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Dragonfli owner Julian Ives, who is supplying the traps, said: "The traps do not completely control horse chestnut leaf miner, but continued use of the traps over several seasons reduces the damage caused and can help to delay the early leaf fall caused by this pest."
Clearing and burning leaf litter and encouraging blue tits are other ways to control the pests.
Each pheromone lure will last for about six weeks. The traps cost £16-£18 and each contains three lures.

Andreas Christensen (vs Borussia Dortmund, 23/01/16)
(Ball-playing; positioning; awareness; decision-making/fundamental errors; speed/strength (/how to overcome them))
There were a couple of moments when team-mates on the ball around him seemed to think about passing to him and then decide against it, which can sometimes give you an idea of their skill on the ball, an spectre of an absence of trust. There was once instance where he took a heavy touch which led on to a bad pass, though for the rest of the match he was largely average; nothing special, nothing bad. He did manage a midfield splitting pass which set up a good Mönchengladbach attack though, which hints at an ability that perhaps just needs to be refined. Continue reading

Newspaper article The Tuscaloosa News
Alabama Back to Work, Preparing for Michigan State
Article excerpt

Eight months had passed since the New York Giants marched onto Lambeau Field, laughed in the face of the 15-win Packers, and dismantled them in the divisional round of the playoffs last year.
And, save for the color of the jerseys and the inability to see one's own breath in frigid air, you might have thought Sunday's loss to the 49ers was the same game.
Green Bay fell to San Francisco, 30-22, in its season-opener because it failed to win what coach Mike McCarthy called afterward the "triple advantage" -- penalties, turnovers and ball security. "I know for a fact, two of them we did not win today," McCarthy said.
Indeed, the Packers committed 10 penalties for 77 yards, QB Aaron Rodgers threw a critical interception in the fourth quarter and TE Jermichael Finley had at least two costly drops. Take your pick at which two of the three McCarthy was talking about, but all could apply. It was the same old story for the retooled defense, the source of so much consideration since last season, which gave up big plays and couldn't stop the run.
The 49ers, for their part, were not given the game by any means. They were the better team, outgaining the Packers in total yards (377 to 324), controlling the game on the ground (186 yards rushing) and not committing a single turnover.
When the game turned: Easy. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Packers had closed to within 23-15 after WRRandall Cobb returned a punt for a touchdown and the team succeeded on a two-point conversion. Green Bay forced a punt on San Francisco's ensuing possession and had the ball with less than nine minutes remaining. That's when the game turned. Rodgers threw an uncharacteristic interception, a gift-wrapped pass to NaVorro Bowman that the quarterback afterward said he was "very disappointed" about. That gave the ball back to San Francisco at Green Bay's 23-yard line, and on the very next play RB Frank Gore ran in with ease for a score that put the 49ers up by 15.
Highlight moments: There were a few worthy ones -- 49ers' OLB Aldon Smith sacking Rodgers and then ripping his own helmet off in celebration, only to receive an unsportmanlike conduct penalty; Cobb's 75-yard punt return for a touchdown; Packers' WR James Jones catching a 49-yard bomb from Rodgers and then catching passes on the next two plays, including a 10-yard score. But let's focus on 49ers' K David Akers' NFL record-tying 63-yard field goal to close the first half. From the Packers' 45-yard line, Akers sent a low, line-drive bullet whistling through the Green Bay air. It was so low that Cobb, who was back to possibly try to return a short attempt, attempted to bat it down at the last second in front of the goal post. He couldn't quite reach it, the ball hit off the 10-foot-high crossbar, and, incredibly, bounced through the uprights.
Top-shelf performances: For the 49ers, it was QB Alex Smith and Gore. Call Smith a game manager if you'd like, but if he is, he was a game manager extraordinaire Sunday. He took what the Packers' defense gave him (which was a lot) and protected the ball, finishing 20-of-26 for 211 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a Rodgers-like passer-rating of 125.6. Gore gashed the Packers' weak run defense, racking up 112 yards on just 16 carries (7.0 average) and a score. For the Packers, the honors go to Cobb, who had the dazzling punt-return touchdown and caught all nine passes thrown to him for 77 yards, and OLB Clay Matthews, who was a beast in the 49ers' backfield with two-and-a-half sacks and four QB hits.
What they said about the officiating:
Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers: "I think there were calls on both sides that were interesting. A couple of the plays were either no-calls that should have been calls or not the correct call. … We had a few mistakes, but some of the penalties were definitely a little bizarre.
Said McCarthy: "It's frustrating when penalties are thrown on you. It's a competitive arena. As far as how did we handle it, I don't know how to quantify that. There was obviously discussion on the sidelines between myself and the officials more so today than ever.
Said McCarthy: "It's frustrating when penalties are thrown on you. It's a competitive arena. As far as how did we handle it, I don't know how to quantify that. There was obviously discussion on the sidelines between myself and the officials more so today than ever.
Numbers you should know: 5.8 and 3.2, the average yards per carry for the 49ers and Packers, respectively. San Francisco established the run game early and was dominant, running 32 times for 186 yards, including Gore's 112. Green Bay tried to get the run at the start, but it quickly become evident it was a fruitless endeavor. The Packers rushed 14 times for 45 yards, and starting RB Cedric Benson carried nine times for just 18 yards. "We didn't run it very well," McCarthy said. "The production definitely wasn't there. A 2.0 (average) -- that's not good enough."
Injury update: Packers' DE C.J. Wilson injured his groin.
Going forward: The Packers have a grueling first month and they didn't want to start it with a loss. They have a Thursday night game against the Bears "in 96 hours," as McCarthy noted. Then they travel to Seattle for a Monday night game in Week 3, before returning home for a big test against the Saints. For the 49ers, they continue to ride the NFC North carousel, taking on Detroit next week and coming back to the Midwest to visit Minnesota the following week. They travel cross-country to New York to play the Jets in Week 4. As for playing each other again, Rodgers concluded his press conference by saying, "Hopefully we see [San Francisco] down the road in the playoffs."

The latest season of the hit series RuPaul's Drag Race has been the greatest "extravaganza" we have seen so far- with more sparkle, drama and puns than you could shake a stick at (not to mention a casual appearance from Lady Gaga). But as with other reality television series today, the big question is: Where are they now? It's all well and good to be put in the spotlight, but often stars slip away, never to be heard of again except for doing the odd appearance in nightclubs (or being a backup for Dragcon). However, it seems that some of the stars from Drag Race Season 9 have much bigger plans. These are not just charismatic queens who can perfectly contour their cheekbones or pull off a seamless lip sync performance- they are now entering the world of Fashion in a serious way.
We all remember Valentina- one of the most stunning girls to grace the stage of Drag Race. Winning this year's Miss Congeniality title, Valentina was snapped up by the industry to model for Vogue Mexico and Mexican designer Benito Santos. She has even been requested to do make-up tutorials for Vogue.com, teaching us all how to highlight and blend to a tee. Since her elimination from the show in Episode 9, Valentina has gone from strength to strength, and still taking time to show off her beauty on Instagram with true Latina charm. Valentina is not the only one to be acknowledged by the fashion industry, with Miss Fierceness herself, Miss Shea Couleé, also modelling for editorials- giving us some Grace Jones realness and tribal-inspired looks.
And not to forget Sasha Velour, the crowned winner of this year's season (and rightfully so). Formally known as Alexander Hedges Steinberg, Sasha is renowned for her fresh take on drag, treating her aesthetics and performance as art forms in themselves, conveying social and political messages through her dress. At the same time, she also experiments conceptually with the boundaries of gender… All in a day's work for Miss Velour. As her sense of style has always been considered "high fashion", it doesn't seem surprising that she has been booked for fashion editorials, including Entertainment Weekly with Shea Couleé and Paper Magazine, amongst others. On top of all that, Sasha has also started up her own self-published magazine, aptly named Velour: The Drag Magazine with partner Johnny Velour. Not bad at all.
Throughout the eight years of Drag Race "herstory", there have been the bold, brave and downright brash- but this year's winner has proved to go above and beyond the expectations of what it means to be "in drag". At this moment in time, America needs to encourage their country towards equality and freedom for their citizens, with icons such as Sasha Velour proudly waving the flag and being an inspirational ambassador for all of us. And if that means the world is sprinkled with extra glitter in the process, why not?

preprint description
The thesis of theory-ladenness of observations, in its various guises, is widely considered as either ill-conceived or harmless to the rationality of science. The latter view rests partly on the work of the proponents of New Experimentalism who have argued, among other things, that experimental practices are efficient in guarding against any epistemological threat posed by theory-ladenness. In this paper I show that one can generate a thesis of theory-ladenness for experimental practices from an influential New Experimentalist account. The notion I introduce for this purpose is the concept of 'theory-driven data reliability judgments' (TDR), according to which theories which are sought to be tested with a particular set of data guide reliability judgments about those very same data. I provide various prominent historical examples (among others, the confirmation of Einstein's prediction of star light bending in 1919) to show that TDRs are used by scientists to resolve data conflicts. I argue that the rationality of the practices which employ TDRs can be saved if the independent support of the theories driving TDRs is construed in a particular way.

basecoat, Butter London, butter LONDON's Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat, Nail Foundation, Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat, nail polish, nail polish review, nails
I've talked a lot about basecoats and topcoats as I believe they are really the most integral part of a manicure, even more important than the nail color itself. Sure you can have an okay manicure without using either but why go for okay and have your polish chipping within days if not hours when you can have a long-lasting manicure and get the most of your nail polish? I am not top or base coat loyal, I have tried a lot of different brands and have a couple misses. With butter LONDON's Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat though, I have found a hit.
First of all, I love that they call it a "nail foundation" and describe it as a "primer" for color application. As face primers act as the foundation for a full face of makeup, basecoats act the same, as primers for nail polish application. Flawless Basecoat is not clear like most basecoats but instead is a satiny beige in appearance, the color of most natural nails, and quickly dries with a velvet finish. The formula is perfect, smooth, no clumpiness, and doesn't have any air bubbles when dry. Flawless Basecoat also is a ridge filler and creates a smooth surface for polish application.
Because this basecoat dries so quickly, there is virtually no wait time so you can get right to painting your nails! I've used this with other nail polish brands other than butter LONDON and it works just as good. I've found that some polish formulas as far as basecoats and topcoats, don't work well with others, namely Essie, so it's nice that for your money you get a very versatile product. I haven't jumped to a butter LONDON topcoat, for now Sech Vite is working just fine minus it's stinkiness, but based on the results I've gotten with butter LONDON's Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat, I'm more than willing to give their topcoat a try!

President Medina returns to the border
On Sunday, 20 May 2018, President Danilo Medina toured border provinces and again promised to build the infrastructure necessary to improve access of the region's population to drinking water and electricity. He visited Los Cacaos, Pedro Santana, Elías Piña, and Restauración in Elías Piña and Dajabón provinces.
As reported by the Presidency, Medina expressed the government's intent to implement policies to improve living conditions in that part of the country and interacted with farmers who expressed their interest in raising goats and sheep. He also heard about a nursery project to expand production of trees saplings in an effort to reforest the mountainous areas of Hondo Valle and Sabaneta. The nursery is presently operated through a partnership between the communities and the Ministry of the Environment.
Residents also asked for equipment to improve the irrigation system, for agriculture and the nurseries as well as every day use as a tornado had damaged the existing equipment.
President Medina was also shown the observation tower Las Palmitias from where the border with Haiti can be observed.
On this trip, President Medina was accompanied by the Administrative Minister of the Presidency José Ramón Peralta; Defense Minister Lieutenant General Rubén Darío Paulino Sem; Public Works Minister Gonzalo Castillo and Agriculture Minister Osmar Benítez. Also on the visit were the directors of the Dominican Agrarian Institute, Emilio Toribio Olivo, and the Technical Unit for the Execution of Agro Forestry Development Projects, Major General Rafael Emilio De Luna Pichirilo; the vice minister of Community Production and Development, Juan Pumarol, and the President's special assistants, Carlos Pared and Robert de la Cruz.
Queen Letizia of Spain visits
On Sunday, 20 May 2018, under strict security, Queen Letizia of Spain arrived for a two-day working trip. During her visit to the Americas, she will also be visiting Haiti. In both countries she will visit projects being carried out by the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (Aecid). The Queen was received at the airport by Foreign Relations Minister Miguel Vargas, Spanish ambassador in the country Alejandro Abellán Garcia.
She is traveling with a large delegation, headed up by the Secretary of State for International Cooperation for Ibero-American and the Caribbean, Fernando Garcia Casas.
The Spanish authorities would not allow the press near the Queen so that no photographs, videos or interviews were allowed. The press reported the Queen and entourage were then taken in a heavily armed motorcade to Santo Domingo. On Monday, 21 May she went to Monte Plata to the Nueva Esperanza neighborhood to visit a rural drinking water project developed by Aecid. In the afternoon, she met with First Lady Cándida Montilla with whom she visited the Integrated Center for Care of Disabilities (CAID).
Later in the afternoon, she met with President Danilo Medina and Vice President Margarita Cedeño and attended a luncheon in her honor at the Presidential Palace.
Her itinerary also included a visit to the Centro Cultural de España in Santo Domingo where she met with representatives of the Spanish Technical Cooperation Office and participated in the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Spanish cooperation in the country.
On Tuesday, 22 May, the Queen is scheduled to tour an organic banana cooperative in southwestern Azua (Cooprobata). She will also learn about the Plan International project that focuses on programs to reduce teenage pregnancies and early marital cohabitation.
Press coverage of the trip of the Queen was limited, but the Presidency made available photographs and videos on the visit.
Following to returning to Santo Domingo, traveled to Haiti to visit Spanish cooperation projects in that country.
On average, public officers enjoy higher salaries than employees in the private sector
According to the National Survey about Work issued by the Central Bank, when it comes to salaries in the Dominican Republic, there are notable differences between the public and private sectors. The bad or good news, depending on who you work for, is that government workers make by far more than private sector workers.
In the last quarter of 2017, the average salary for a government employee was RD$160.9 per hour, whereas it was less than half of that, at RD$79.4 in the private sector.
According to the figures, the problem is that over the last three years the hourly salary has risen rapidly in public sector, outpacing wage growth in the private sector.
The wages in the public sector on average grew by 27.2% and 22.3% in the private sector. Interestingly, the survey also reveals that it is not only the public sector workers who earn more than the private sector. The survey tells that those who are self employed do as well, with an average of RD$90 per hour.
According to the president of the National Confederation of Unions, (CNUS), Rafael "Pepe" Abreu, the fact that people know that the pay in the public sector is better is not good for the economy as the private sector generates more wealth and development over the long term. Abreu lamented that new jobs are being concentrated in areas that are not productive for the economy.
He said that last February 2018, President Medina announced that 120,000 new jobs were being created each year. But he remarked that when the data is analyzed, 60% of the new jobs were opened in public administration, 30% in the informal sector and only 10% were generated in the private sector.
In the report on the first quarter of this year, issued by the Central Bank, there has been an increase in the payroll of Central Government and the municipalities with the highest number of new posts created in the Treasury, the Tax Agency (DGII) and Customs Agency (DGA), as well as the Judicial Branch with the creation of new courts. In addition the Ministry of Interior and Police appointed new agents for the National Police. There were also new posts created in Idecoop, the Dominican Municipal League and INVI.
The data shows that by the end of 2017, the working population stood at 4,347,992 workers that was an increase of 3% over the previous year. Of this figure, the highest number were employed in the private sector at 1,857,949, followed by the informal sector at 1,728,682 and then the State with 620,341 and self employed with 141,019.
Not long to wait for results of Odebrecht investigation
Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez has announced that on 9 June 2018 he will reveal the results of the investigation into the Odebrecht bribery case and its linkages within the country.
He said that on the same day of the announcement, formal charges will be filed against individuals, who, according to the United States Department of State, are suspected of having received part of the US$92 million in bribes paid to Dominican officials.
Jean Alain Rodriguez stated that on that day the Dominican people can see what work they have done and never before had they worked so hard to search for the truth and confirmed there would be no impunity.
Place political parties under the scope of the anti-asset laundering law
Several private sector and civic society organizations are asking that political parties be included in entities that fall under the new Anti-Asset Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Law 155-17. The Ministry of Hacienda presides the National Anti-Asset Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism Committee. This is to prevent that these organizations be financed with illicit funds. The Centro Juan XXIII, Participación Ciudadana, National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE) and Association of Industries of Herrera (AEIH) make the request in a letter to Minister of Hacienda Donald Guerrero.
In the new development, the organizations say it is necessary to have mechanisms to regulate the financing of political parties.
Experts also say cooperatives and betting shops should fall under coverage of the anti-money laundering law.
Former Samaná prosecutor jailed on remand
A Samaná court has handed down three months in preventive custody as coercive measure for the former head of the Public Prosecution Service in the area, Robert Justo Bobadilla. Justo Bobadilla is accused of sexual harassment of several employees and users of the service.
The coercive measures were issued following the hearing of evidence from the prosecutors who showed his links with the crimes he was accused of committing. The victims' identities were withheld.
Justo Bobadilla will serve his sentence in Nagua public jail in María Trinidad Sánchez province. He had been avoiding court appearances and an arrest warrant was issued for him resulting in his arrest on 15 May 2018 in the National District, Santo Domingo. He had already been dismissed and is unable to work in any state institution for five years.
Venezuelans arrested in Santiago
Three Venezuelans have been arrested for supposedly taking out money illegally from ATMs in Santiago. According to Santiago police when the suspects were arrested they had RD$240,000 in their possession which had been withdrawn from the bank and a debit card. The suspects were travelling in a vehicle.
Arrested were Daniel Alexander González Paz, aged 36, Eduardo Moronta Moronta, 29 and Jesús Enrique Formayor Manjarres, aged 28 and all were living in the country illegally.
The police said that the suspects had attached something to the ATMs in order to carry out the fraudulent transactions and they were caught due to their suspicious profiles when they took RD$240,000 out in cash in a bank branch on Palo Amarillo Road in Santiago. They tried to flee from the authorities but they were pursued by the police and then arrested.
Nearly 150 homicides in the north so far this year
According to the latest statistics, there have been at least 145 homicides in Santiago province and other parts of the north of the country so far this year. The police say that most have been solved and others are being followed up or are on their way to being solved. The reports say that 53% of them were in Santiago followed by the provinces of Duarte, La Vega, Espaillat, Valverde y Puerto Plata.
Of the homicides, 45 were domestic cases where women were murdered by their partners and ex-partners and 25 were among gangs in disputes over drug sales points, mainly in Santiago, Moca, La Vega y San Francisco de Macorís.
Another ten people died in "exchanges of gunfire" with the police and five were lynched my mobs having been suspected of committing robberies or assaults. The lynching events took place in La Vega, Santiago and Duarte provinces.
Four of the murders were due to family disputes over inheritance and nine murders in the northern area were linked to robberies and assaults.
Two of the murders were as a result of road rage and another 22 following arguments between people who had consumed large quantities of alcohol.
Naval spokesman shot along with his son
On Sunday night, 20 May 2018, naval spokesman, Colonel Francisco Augusto Lizardo González was shot and wounded along with his five-year old son. He was shot twice, once in the shoulder and once in the back and is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at the Armed Forces Hospital in Santo Domingo where his condition is said to be stable. The child was injured in the right foot.
The incident happened in front of his apartment in the El Millón sector in the National District and following the attack the perpetrators fled the scene on a motorcycle. Preliminary investigations by the Police lead to believe robbery was the motive for the assault, but witnesses say the man was being followed.
According to the Police, Colonel Lizardo had just come down from his second floor apartment in the Paseo de los Deportes Street, to collect his dinner which his children were bringing him, He noticed two men on a motorcycle, behaving suspiciously and one shot him while he was trying to pull out his service weapon which was stuck.
The two men were dressed in black, the driver was thin, brown skin, and the one who did the shooting, on the back on the motorcycle was short, heavily muscled and with a lot of hair.
Charges issued in the Emely Peguero murder case
Marlin and Marlon Martínez are facing two charges in connection with the death of pregnant teenager, Emely Peguero whose body was found inside a suitcase in a road in Cayetano Germosen in Espaillat province.
The Public Prosecution Service are accusing mother and son of murder, complicity, torture and barbarous acts, hiding the corpse, abduction and holding and illegal traffic of a minor to the detriment of Emely Peguero.
The lawyers for Emely's family are accusing the pair of murder, aggravated homicide and complicity in murder. They are also asking for a payment of RD$20 million from the Martinez family.
Given both charges, the lawyer of Marlon Martínez, Ricardo Reyna, has questioned the witness statements that the Public Prosecution has referenced, and has said that he will challenge the veracity of three of the witnesses who will be giving damaging statements. Lawyers for the defendants claim that the case involves an abortion which led to involuntary homicide and that there was no premeditation.
The preliminary hearing has been set for 11 June 2018, following a postponement to allow time for the accused to learn of the charges.
