MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ignite-TEK today announced that its LucidVueCX customer analytics platform now supports Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Comprehend and is also now available in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that makes it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Designed to displace traditionally siloed customer analytics practices, the Lucid platform utilizes AWS machine learning solutions to mine 100% of interactions from all customer channels, including unscripted audio (phone calls), broadcast, social media, and online reviews, and then analyzes those interactions for comprehensive insights on trending topics. The resulting output affords a 360-degree view of the complete customer journey from within an intuitive dashboard interface.
Lucid supports Amazon Transcribe, converting speech-to-text from a brand's recorded free-form calls; and Amazon Comprehend to find behaviors, intents, and relationships from conversational text by using machine learning. Lucid's availability in AWS Marketplace allows brands to quickly uncover powerful customer insights without the need for expensive and time-consuming on-premises deployment.
The Lucid platform is designed to allow businesses to quickly uncover trending issues and enterprise brand feedback, customer sentiment, problems that need to be addressed in manufacturing or logistics, revenue opportunities such as trending product version requests, customer retention opportunities, compliance and churn-reduction opportunities. Ready access to this information allows brand managers to uncover critical customer trends and information to make better brand decisions fast.
"We are excited to expand our Lucid platform to take advantage of the increased market visibility, flexibility, and scalability offered by AWS Marketplace," said Michael Ferzacca, Ignite-TEK CEO. "Now, our customers can harness the power of AWS to uncover actionable customer insights by extracting critical brand information at only a fraction of the cost of surveys and focus groups."

Isaac Campbell Kidd, Jr.
Graduate, U.S. Naval Academy, Class of 1941
Engagements: • World War II (1941 - 1945)
Isaac Campbell Kidd, Jr.
Admiral, U.S. Navy
Isaac Campbell Kidd, Jr. was born on 14 August 1919 in Cleveland, OH. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1941 and was commissioned as an Ensign on 19 December 1941; just 12 days after his father was killed aboard his flagship during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As Time Magazine described the event, when Kidd received his commission as Ensign "the U.S. Naval Academy and its guests broke into a thunderous cheer- an unprecedented demonstration in honor of Ensign Kidd and his father."
During World War II, he served as a Gunnery and Operations Officer on destroyers in both Europe and the Pacific, and participated in various Allied landings in the Mediterranean as well as at Iwo Jima.
His 23 years at sea during his 40-year naval career included 15 years in command of destroyers, destroyer divisions and squadrons and three U.S. fleets in the Atlantic, Pacific and Mediterranean; he also served as Executive Assistant and Senior Aide to the Chief of Naval Operations in the early 1960s, earning citations for his efforts in the Cuban Missile Crisis and several other crises. In 1967, he headed the court of inquiry into the USS Liberty incident during the Six-Day War in June of that year.
On 1 December 1971, Kidd was promoted to the four-star rank of Admiral and assigned as Chief of Naval Material (CNM), from 1971-1975. His next assignment was Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic/Commander in Chief, Atlantic Command/Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (SACLANT/CINCLANT/CINCLANTFLT), from 1975-1978.
Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd, Jr. retired from the Navy in 1978.
In Retirement
Shortly after his 1978 retirement from the Navy, Kidd was among a number of retired four-star officers who testified before Congress in favor of the controversial SALT II arms control pact. Kidd declared that while he was not entirely thrilled with the proposed treaty's verification procedures, "the alternative of having no ceiling at all, considering our position at this point in the so-called race, I find totally unacceptable."
He also taught the law of the sea at the College of William and Mary.
Medals and Awards
Distinguished Service Medal
His six children included Navy Captain Isaac C. Kidd III.
Death and Burial
Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd, Jr. died of cancer on 27 June 1999 at age 79 at his home in Alexandria, VA. He is buried at the United States Naval Academy Cemetery in Annapolis, MD.

before you know it, our heart's worn out
Today I saw Call Me By Your Name, right now I've got Whose Streets? playing on the television. I'm inclined to write in relation, in response, in my usual twisted sort of echo, to the former rather than the latter. Writing about police violence and Ferguson will get me into a political rant that I am not in the mood for...
Which is its own sort of troubling notion, separate from the rant itself. That I get to be tired to such things. That as much as I seek out stuff on social media to argue with, I can turn it off and my life is enough that I don't need to be in the middle of that. When so many people don't have such a choice.
The privilege of my life.
I can choose to write about a love story--one trapped behind an 80s anti-homosexual vibe, but--SPOILERS--that ultimately doesn't go the route that one producer apparently wanted by having a villain; instead the film embraces the relationship at its heart and so does the mother in the film quietly and the father vocally. I can choose to avoid the more political angle.
Of course, then I'm inclined to make it personal. Call Me By Your Name got me thinking about romance and love and relationships. As I was sitting in traffic afterward, headed from the Arclight in Hollywood to Bravo Medical Magnet for my speech class, I had on some old music, stuff I hadn't listened to in a while, and I was lamenting that I am too old and too socially inept to have anything again like when my ex-wife and I got together. Most days, I'm good with my life as it is. I've got some friends, I've got a fun new-ish hobby that takes up way too much of my time some days, I've got my kids, I've got movies. Still, sometimes, I wish for something more. Something more... passionate, perhaps. And, I don't mean passion just in the romantic sense. I mean, like when I started writing every day in my 20s and had it in my head that I was going to be a novelist. I mean, like when I watch a great indie movie and I want to work on something like it, to write, to direct, to act, to whatever. I mean, like when I see my daughter on stage and I want to find an audition and try my hand. And, the more personal, physical, passion, too.
Or the passion of a protest. A riot.
Something far more real than a proclamation or a sarcastic jab on Twitter.
Or a rant in a blog.

2020 Resolution – love your village

Protecting our Rights of Way
There are thousands of miles of footpaths, bridleways, and byways in Hampshire. During the lockdown, many of us will used rights of way to uncover breathtaking views, hidden valleys, and enchanting woodland. Clanfield Online used local paths to produce a series of walks in April and May Clanfield Walks which have proved very popular.
However, occasionally problems occur on such paths, and it is often the users that first notice them. So, the best and quickest solution is for users to report if they find:
Rights of way overgrown or blocked by fallen trees
Signposts and waymarks missing or damaged
Broken and damaged stiles, fences and gates hindering access to the path
Fly-tipping or litter despoiling paths and dangerous to people and animals
Paths and tracks may even be blocked by unsympathetic landowners
HCC website states "Public rights of way are paths and tracks over which all members of the public have a right of passage." If you are not sure if a path is a right of way, then check HCC definitive map: https://maps.hants.gov.uk/rightsofwaydefinitivemap/
In Hampshire there is a dedicated team of countryside rangers, supported by volunteers, who look after our rights of way, but they cannot possibly check every mile of path and track in the county: we have to be their eyes and ears and report what we see and hear. Don't wait for someone else to report a problem – do it yourself today: https://www.hants.gov.uk/landplanningandenvironment/rightsofway/reportaproblem
Respect and protect the paths, bridleways and byways that give us the freedom to enjoy the countryside.

The nerds haven't found paradise yet.
Production on one of Fox Atomic's first films — a remake of the 1984 cult classic "Revenge of the Nerds" — has been shut down after Emory University in Atlanta, where more than a third of the film was to be shot, backed out of its agreement to allow Fox to film on campus. It's believed that Emory officials ultimately balked at the raunchy nature of the project.
Fox was alerted to the issue four days before the shoot was planned to start on Oct. 9. After attempting to shoot at other colleges in Atlanta, the decision was made to call it quits and figure out a new plan.
Production is now officially on hiatus, with the clock ticking, considering that winter (and snow) is approaching, and much of the film is set outdoors in autumn, back-to-school weather.
A Fox Atomic rep said that Fox was still hoping to release the film in August and that all of the cast and crew — presently being flown back from Atlanta — remain intact.
"Revenge of the Nerds" is planned as one of the debut releases for newly launched Fox Atomic, Fox's teen-oriented genre label. The label's first release is "Turistas," which bows Dec. 1, followed by "The Hills Have Eyes 2" on March 2 and "28 Weeks Later," which unspools May 11.
Also in production at Fox Atomic is the comedy "The Comebacks."

The Role of School Health Instruction in Preventing Injury: Making It Work.
Weiler, Robert M.
Reducing the incidence and severity of child and adolescent injuries requires a multifaceted approach involving broad-based health and social service agencies, including schools. Recognition of the need for injury prevention education began with the Industrial Revolution in the 1900s, and safety education was developed as a unit of health instruction in the schools of the 1920s and 1930s. With the growing popularity of the automobile, concerns about traffic safety, pedestrian safety, and alcohol use and the automobile, brought about expansion of health education programs. Injury prevention and safety today are considered a content area of comprehensive school health instruction. Instruction should include attitudes toward safety, causes of accidents, home and school safety, traffic safety, fire prevention, survival education, environmental hazards, accident prevention, emergency health care, safety personnel, resources and agencies, individual safety precautions, recreational safety, occupational safety, safety rules, and laws and regulations. The content should be age-appropriate and should reflect the health problems of the nation, state, and local communities. State mandates concerning injury prevention instruction are noted, a list of barriers to effective injury prevention instruction is presented, and recommendations for program development are offered.

These stained glass windows in churches was to enhance the lighting and beauty of the insides of churches. It was also to symbolism and tell the narrative stories of Christ to its viewers. In Gothic churches it was to replace the thick dark walls of Romanesque cathedrals to thin towering walls of colors. I also read that some of the colors in stained glass windows having a meaning behind them. Like the color red represents the blood of Christ, blue represents the sky, green is for the color of grass and nature, violet symbolizes love, truth, and passion, white represents purity, black is tied to death and regeneration, yellow symbolizes power, divinity, and glory, purple symbolizes suffering and endurance, gray is a symbol of humility and mourning, brown is the symbol of spiritual of death and renunciation of worldly things and will the Rainbow is to symbolizes union and God's covenant with humanity. It amazes me how they use all these colors to tell a story and draw the attention of people from all walks of life rather they are a believer or not, theses stained glass windows where put in place to draw the attention and tell a story as the sun light shines in making the beauty enhance.

Leadership through Kindness
If you could take the time to ask the general public to name words that describe leadership then you will have to wait for some time before the word kindness can come up. People will mostly portray those people in leadership to be demanding and aggressive. The leaders will also have the tendency of always expecting the best when it comes to their employees. When things go wrong, then they will be willing to bring the hammer down. there will be no room for kindness to fit there. The current business culture is what has led to this situation. The trends that are in the modern world the ones encouraging the leaders to be ruthless and also emotionless. If you are a leader at work, then you can begin to be the difference that you want to see.
Being understanding is a trait that is undervalued in leaders but it is essential for good leadership. When a leader is not completely understanding, then you will find that people will not want to work for them. when you find that an individual tends to expect the employees to be as exactly as how the boss thinks they need to be, then these employees will tend to drift away from such a presence. It is good to understand that life is not perfect as people tend to make errors and things also happen. For you to be an effective leader, it is vital that you take the time to understand that when these things happen, they do not mean that someone is not a good employee.
It is vital that you are also generous to your workers. You can do this by showing your appreciation of those you lead on major holidays like their birthdays or even having a Christmas party and sending ekarda Christmas E-cards. You should also seek o be generous with your time. Sometimes the workers may need to talk to you or they also need some extra clarification. You should be generous and afford them the time they need to feel comfortable and confident in their roles.
If there is something that is necessary for leadership is honesty. The people that work for you and with you need to feel like you are always speaking your mind. They need to feel like you are telling the truth and that you are not holding back any information from them. Though this may at times mean that you have to face some truths that are not comfortable but it will be worth. You will find that this will be better than your employees finding you to be secretive. Your working experience will be long and fruitful when you do this.

Longboarding in CA
We are on a quest to film our first real longboard video and have been searching for the perfect spots all around Orange County. We got lucky finding this spot because it was already waxed and ready to go. It's the perfect longboard grind because you can ride grind up it and fall off the back side easily. We just starting to film last month and have about 20 clips so far but it's going good considering we can only film on the weekends because we have to ship out boards all week. The video will hopefully be ready in a couple of months and be about 10 minutes long or so.
This is Shane Johnston doing the ride-grind to flamingo grind at the rainbow grind in Fountain Valley, California last weekend. We call it the rainbow grind because the curb arcs like a rainbow. He had to go almost full speed to get over the upward arc. He's skating the drop down drop through series.
We found a down hill gem the other day while exploring the Newport Coast's back hills. We randomly drove up to the city water facility and low and behold we got lucky finding this perfect slider hill. The ground was actually perfect. We shot some footage with the new gopro2 and it came out pretty good. Here's a photo of the hill.

This pintail is 38" long and 10" wide and is one of the easier and effortless boards to skate. With absolutely no flex this board is as sturdy as an ox. I always recommend this board for people looking to get an easy to cruise longboard. This board is great for people getting into longboarding and the experienced longboarders who are looking for a nice a sturdy board for tricks and slides. This board is definitely the thickest board in our inventory and holds the most weight up to about 350 LBs.
Why are Ehlers longboards so inexpensive!? That's the question I have been getting since I started in 2010. The answer is, I only sell directly to customers. When customers go into shops like active, zumies or other board shops to purchase a board. The board has already been marked up two times. Most big longboarding companies sell to distributors for their profit and then the distributors sell to the shops for their profit. So by the time the longboard sits on the shelf it has already been marked up several times.
We have more new stuff going on with Ehlers Longboards. We now have our logo screen printed on the grip tape. We are currently in the process of shooting photos every time a board goes out so we can capture it for the website. Most styles will be done by the end of the month. Here are some examples of new grip logos.
New shape coming soon! I just got our new prototype finished today. They are in production as we speak and will be ready in two weeks. It's a drop through double kick or longboard blank decks, the nose and tail rise up for more advanced tricks. You can regular and nose Manuel on this board along with shuvits and any other tricks you may have up your sleeve. The board is 100% Canadian maple and made in California. The belly is cambered for a nice spring feeling, and keep your gullwing sidewinders at home because this beast is built to carve like no other

I wanted to personally say thank you to David for such a great review. Here's what he said.
I have the greatest respect for Ryan Ehlers. I showed up at his shop unannounced and even though he was very busy he took the time to set-up my son with a custom longboard. He allowed Kenny (my son) to choose exactly what he wanted down to the color of the bearings. We returned a bit early and got to see Ryan at work assembling Kenny's board. Once again, he was very gracious and skilled - that's why I returned to buy another longboard for myself. This guy is a real pro and a down to earth class-act. I have skated for over 30 years and I can tell you that these boards are 100% professional grade - right down to the optional gull wing trucks. Ryan's boards are just as good - if not better - than anything you'll find in a pro shop. And, as mentioned, you get the added benefit of choosing exactly what you want.
Thanks again David

Hey everyone,
I know it's been a while since I posted the last article, but I really don't have much time for this game at the moment because these are my last two years at school before I'll (hopefully) pass the so called "Abitur"(Wikipedia link for you ;) ) and that's an pretty intense phase.
Anyway, I did work on the game a bit, and I'm going to give you a short overview on what has been done:
I. The HUD
I actually finished the health, stamina, hunger and thirst systems and worked on a nice graphical representation for all of them. The result is quite good I'd say:
I had a hard time getting the circle shaped health and stamina bars to decrease, but in the end it turned out well:
(Btw the graphs of the bars and the circles look like this :D :
II. More props!
Since I want a bit od variety in the game I began working on a desert arena, which requires certain props. I actually didn't make these (more a programmer than a modeler), but they looked nice so I decided to buy the package (there was a lot more content in it but I didn't have time to set it up yet...):
First of all an old well:
Then I have set up three cacti:
and last but not least some shrubbery:
I have no idea why, but the pictures are scaled down a lot, the resolution is a lot better ingame.
So, that's it for today, as I said only a really short post to let you guys know I'm still working on this.
Please comment, as these comments are my only reward at the moment (didn't get much feedback on the last posts, which demotivated me a bit...).
Hope you enjoyed it,
Still working on the demo, I added a lot of details to the training area in which you can prepare yourself for the arena.
I spent the week working on the training area and wanted to share the progress.
After I finally had enough of waiting for the our Level Designer to start working on the training area, I decided to make one by myself. So far it looks...
The last weeks I was busy implementing a better Inventory, testing some foliage and rebuilding our website.

In happy wheels Unblocked on happywheelsunblockedd.com, controlling the Wheelbarrow character is the hardest?
guessing this is dead then.
Not yet, I just need more time for school atm.
its not going anywhere though...its just the training the area, over and over again
Yikes :o
Well I'm sorry that I'm working alone with a 0$ bugdet while trying to get some decent grades at school. It's the training area over and over again because I simply need a base to build sth. upon, which is why I'm always trying to improve the stuff I've already got. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to develop a game, but since I'm alone I have to take baby steps to actually get something done (I've got like an hour per week to work on this game at max...).
I hope you will follow the game even though there hasn't been much progress lately, and like to thank you for sharing your honest opinion.
I won't
Where can I download / buy this game?? It looks awesome
Thank you very much, but it isn't ready yet. The screenshots shown in the news are highly WIP, and I'm currently working on the base mechanics needed, butI'll try to get a demo ready as fast as possible ;).
is this f2p?
No, this won't be f2p. We thought about 15$ - 19$, however, there will be a free training room demo.

March was a roller coaster for the stock market, but it turns out many 401(k) participants can stomach the twists and turns.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average /zigman2/quotes/210598065/realtime DJIA +1.38% and S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX +2.22% , among other benchmarks, saw major drops in the last month, as much as 30% from their Feb. 19 peaks. The volatility was in response to oil price wars and the fear of what coronavirus will do to global economies. In the last week, the market has rallied, as there are signs that social distancing is slowing the spread of the disease.
Still, seeing any sort of drop — even when the cause is understood — is scary, especially when it affects life savings. Many Americans rely on the market to fund their futures, with much of their portfolio performance tied to equities. So how did investors handle the sudden dips?
See: Can I still afford to retire? The coronavirus has upended jobs, spurred a market downturn — what now?
Many investors did trade, but they didn't make drastic changes, according to Alight Solutions 401(k) Index .
The month saw 18 "above-normal" days of trading activity, which is the most in one month period the index has seen in the last 20 years, Alight found. Most of the trading migrated to stable value funds, money-market funds and bond funds, and out of target-date funds, large U.S. equity funds and international equity funds. Slightly fewer people made new contributions to equities, from 68.2% in February to 67.3% in March.
There was an uptick in contributions for Fidelity investors, however — 7% in the first quarter of 2020, versus 6% in 2019 — but there was also 5% who decreased contributions, compared with 3% the year before. Another 2% stopped contributing, about the same as the year before. Slightly more customers requested hardship withdrawals in the first quarter — 1.4% between January and March, compared with 0.9% during the same time in 2019.
About 7% of 401(k) savers made an exchange, such as a change to their allocation, in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 5% in the first quarter of 2019, according to the firm. A majority of the savers who made a change did so in March, but only 3% of these investors switched to 0% equities.
Betterment, an online investment platform, had less than a 2% increase in portfolio withdrawals, and 26% more total customers making ad hoc deposits than withdrawals. Millennials in particular were more likely to deposit money into their accounts than pull money out.
Client engagement peaked during the beginning of the volatility at Charles Schwab, /zigman2/quotes/201281754/composite SCHW +2.20% said Nathan Voris, managing director of business strategy at Schwab Retirement Plan Services. There were more calls and online communication with customer service, and 60% more people requested an appointment with an advice consultant than before, he said. "The biggest question we get is what should I do?" he said. "People tend to stay the course. They call in, get a gut check, have someone tell them it's going to be OK and continue to think long-term."
Vanguard clients also traded, but were disciplined, according to the firm's research. Nine out of 10 investors continued as normal and only half of the households that did trade made just one transaction between Feb. 19 and March 20. Much of the trading involved moving to equities, which is traditionally riskier. Older, wealthier investors did move money to fixed income. Those who have only a defined-contribution plan, such as a 401(k), with Vanguard had the lowest levels of trading.
Near-retirees have to be more cautious in the midst of market volatility. They're expecting to need their money sooner, so the main goal is to preserve their assets. But younger investors can be a bit more relaxed about market ups and downs, because they have decades between today and retirement to recover losses and grow their portfolios.
Also see: Entering retirement in the middle of a health and financial crisis?
Defined contribution investors may just be used to the ride of investing. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, when the markets dropped nearly 50%, many investors "stayed the course," according to J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Almost 97% of participants continued to make contributions and for the most part, withdrawals did not increase. More than 85% of investors did not make a change to their investments.
Riding out market volatility is imperative to keeping a portfolio intact and seeing returns. An account balance may be lower during volatility than it was before, but investors have only lost that money officially when they withdraw it from the market. Contributing to a plan during volatility can help an account recover more quickly, while exiting in the middle of the turmoil can be detrimental, said Katherine Roy, chief retirement strategist at J.P. Morgan. "You miss some of the best days."
During the financial crisis, the total value of assets in participant accounts recovered in about two years . In 2007, there was $3 trillion in 401(k) plans exclusively, and that figure dropped to $2.2 trillion in 2008. By 2010, investors had a total of $3.1 trillion in their accounts. In 2018, 401(k) plans had $5.2 trillion, according to J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
Of course, not all 401(k) participants are familiar with market volatility. Newer entrants, such as those within the last decade, have generally only seen stocks climb during the nearly 11-year bull market. For them, and all investors, keeping perspective will be key to making it through the volatility, Roy said.
"This time around, it's more difficult because we are out of control for so many other things in our daily lives," she said. "Focus instead on what you can control. How you save versus spend."

MTLB Interview w/ Craig Ursuy Candidate for LB City Council 6th District
Why are you running and why now?
Its time to give a voice to the people. What's really going on is, maybe people we'll never know who really their city councilmember is, 90% don't vote, they're no engaged and that means there is a lack of accountability and a lack of understanding [of] what's happening. We need somebody who's going to come in there and to bring people together. And empower people to do more for themselves. That they could be a part of this community and have a say in City Hall.
What are the three top issues that you want to address immediately?
Some of the things I hear is like what are we gonna do in the neighborhoods. Look around kids just got nothing to do anymore. All these programs, we've had in the past, you know it just seemed to be going away. They're not here anymore.
Like what type of programs?
Like the P.A.L programs for example, [when] police in the streets with the kids, there was something to go with or after school programs. Many kids don't even know if there are any [programs] and parents want to know what are you going to help make sure I could pay rent? Make sure my kids could get into a good school and that the jobs of tomorrow are not going away. That is what guides me intuitively because of the city doing well. 4.2% unemployment, finally, but in my area, it's 3 times that were not feeling were getting a piece of the pie, so we say we're championing these things in such ambiguous manners and yet at the same time if that was the case, we would have done it sooner.
How would you describe your political ideologically?
I'm a little bit unique because I'm a pragmatic individual. Sometimes, people see what I'm saying is very progressive. Because they are very conservative and vice versa, so the professors will think I'm extremely conservative so It depends on the issue and what's involved. I'm more about getting people to feel empowered and [that] they have control and say in their lives. That their vote does matter. So, driving that means whatever decision I make whether it has more government influence or less government. What happens is the end goal.
So, what would you say is your is most conservative belief and what is your most progressive belief?
My most conservative belief is we need more value for our tax dollars, simple as that. We have a budget that [other] cities would dream of...., and yet we struggle to get the budget in line and the projections are getting worse and worse. By 2022, we could be up to $12 million in a shortfall… they [city hall] don't want to tackle the homeless with the programs we already have. We have about $44 million from the county and the state, and according to the LB Report, [the city of LB wants] another tax on property and want to put it on the ballot, they already trying to put the BCP tax on property, they want to do a sales tax, and then they want to put a bond for the homeless crisis… we could manage better than that. I'm very sure of it.
What is your most progressive belief?
My most progressive belief is giving voice to the people and that the government should be held accountable and that the end of the day the more of us collect together the better we are. And does that mean some polices are seen as anti-business or what have you? I disagree, I think business has an interest in all these issues and that we are cohabitants.
Do you have any conflict of interest that might cause you to recuse yourself on the council?
Uh…if its an issue about the love of the community then yes. [laughter]
No, absolutely not I have no financial interest… if you look at my background. I've been all over the world. None of my interests is tide to Long Beach or any of these contracts… what I'm proud of [is] that I take with
The most talked-about issue in Long Beach has to be housing affordability, according to the KCET TV series City Rising rent in Long Beach has risen 55% in the past 6-years. What policies have you seen oversees that you think we could use in Long Beach?
Thank you for asking that question because people look at me when I talk about something like that [as if] I'm an outsider or I need to go back where I came from. I 'am American and I'm proud of it. But right now, what's going on here is a global issue… This Hong Kong protest wasn't about this extradition bill, that was the trigger [but] the fact is they [Hong Kong residents] can't afford to live there and young generations don't feel they have a future. The exact same picture you see here in district 6, no different…its just gotten out of hand.
It's driven by speculative property prices, as well as, a growing demand for people to live…I know everybody has to have to place weather if your homeless or whether you already have a home and you're could be on the brink [ of losing it]. We need to do more, but again we have to be careful that what we don't have ulterior consequences. That being said, yeah rent gouging is a concern. That is a big issue and I'm glad the state stepped up… I do think they [the city] did overstep their bounds in a couple of areas. But when it comes to these contracts and the rights of landlords.
Are you talking about tenet protections? Do you think that stepped over the line?
Yeah, like if a landlord wants to evict someone, I don't think we should be getting in the way of that… so, what you're dealing with in some cases these bad actors. I think we could do better than that than trying to manipulate the market.
So, you would not support a rent control ordnance?
Not a stiff one, I think rent gouging is a huge concern and we need [ to have] protections for both sides.
If you could change one thing about the zoning code what would it be?
Oh, you go toe to toe with me, you'll get a bunch of different answers…I think when you see this [ gestures toward the unfinished Shoreline Gateway building] needs to be contained, but outside of that, we need to listen to the people want…basically I think we shouldn't build really tall buildings, I think we should keep it contained and work with the community.
On Poor air in Long Beach.
When I moved [to Long Beach], day one there was this dirt, it was dark on the ground of my apartment… I didn't realize it was the air, it was that bad. I got my car right out of the port and within a day of being there, it was so nasty because that stuff spreads and it spreads to people not even in my district. We need to do something. I think the city has the right mindset that we need to do something, but I think some outside influences are slowing it down.
The LBPD has faced lawsuits over wrongful death, retaliation by former cops, the Tiger-Text app scandal, should there be a change in leadership or does the LBPD have a negative police culture?
It's a systemic issue across this country. Good cops getting mixed-up with bad cops and shielding bad cops. It's not good. I have so much respect for the police, my brother was an MP...but it's a mix of both, I think we're better off today than it was decades past, crime is back up on the rise and if you look at my district people just don't feel safe. It's scary.
The real issue is getting the cops on the streets. Get them [LBPD] talking to people, on the beaten path. That's what I want. it's a cultural issue mostly. Because they [LBPD] need to know what's going on in the community to be involved. Most of them don't live in district 6 and so they don't know what's going on. Could you imagine? What that could do for kids not to fear cops and know them by their first name for good reasons… you see those little Youtube videos now where a cops [on] skateboards with kids, we need that back. That's the starting point, especially in a community as diverse as mine, with so much distrust. We can bridge that gap little by little.
Last year, the inspector of the Queen Mary reported that the ship couldn't have been in the worst condition and could be unsalvageable, and according to 2015 marine survey a naval architect said the cost to repair the Queen Mary could be 289 million, Is the Queen Mary, for as much of a landmark it is in Long Beach, is it really worth it?
Is it really? Look we bought that rust bucket back in the 60's remember?
Well, you never know when something becomes a landmark, it takes time. I'm pretty sure when they placed the Statue of Liberty some thought realty your gonna place a statue on that little island
They didn't put a rust bucket on the island, they bought that rust bucket. They [city of LB] never sent a city inspector, they never sent anybody over there to check out what they were buying, they didn't care how much they were paying it for… don't take my word for it, take it from Rene Simon, who was the 2nd City Councilwoman of Long Beach, in her own book Our Own Big City… Ok, so the question is it salvageable? Is it worthy [of] return in investment in the future for the city? Because it used to be just a piece that somebody happened to enjoy when they were driving in the Grand Prix. It took years to get it to do what we think it … we need to start asking some fundamental questions is it going to be a long-term vision for the city or is it gonna eat up money that we could use elsewhere, like my community. That scares me because I'd rather put money back into my community than some ship that just going to fall apart.
Well, hyper-local issues require hyper-local people to address them, so I can't say my international experience is going to be addressing. I just want to manage the city budget better. It means were placing more value for the money we're spending already. So, when we go to address these problems were not wasting it with terrible contractors, we're not wasting that with bad inspectors. We're putting the right money in the right place so that when we fix these potholes, it didn't cost us an arm and a leg to do it… I want to be a little more accountable and a little bit wiser without money. That how it addresses a hyper-local issue

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of life (QOL) and to identify the factors (characteristics of patients and caregivers, caregiver burden, self-efficacy, and social support) related to QOL among family caregivers of patients with heart failure (HF) in Southwest China.; Design: The study had a cross-sectional descriptive design.; Methods: Patients and their family caregiver dyads (N = 251) in three hospitals in Chengdu were recruited from April 2013 to September 2014. Data were collected by in-person interviews.
Background: A societal perspective in economic evaluation necessitates that all resources associated with a disease or intervention should be valued; however, informal care time costs are rarely considered.
Objective: We estimated time allocated to care by informal carers of colorectal cancer survivors; and investigated the impact of applying alternative valuation methods to this time.
OBJECTIVE: No instrument has been developed and validated across cultures to measure the degree of support provided by informal carers to people with schizophrenia. We aimed to develop such a measure.
Little is known about the factors that mediate the caregiving experience of informal carers at home, which could inform about ways of supporting them in their caregiving role. Our objective was to investigate the caring experience of carers for patients with an advanced progressive illness (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], heart failure, cancer, or motor neuron diseases [MND]), who suffer from breathlessness.
Research has shown that several variables influence the burden of primary caregivers of cancer patients staying at home in the palliative phase, but the associations between these variables have hardly been explored. The aim of this study was to examine the associations of theory-driven variables with the caregivers' burden by means of path analysis. The sample consisted of 96 caregivers of cancer patients in the palliative phase staying at home recruited from a hospital trust in Norway.
Aims and objectives: To explore bereaved family carers' perceptions and experiences of a hospice at home service.
Although the vital role of informal carers has been acknowledged in government policy documents in the UK, the information needs of informal carers are not well documented. There is also uncertainty about where carers get their information from and whether they are satisfied with the information they receive. This study aimed to examine the information needs and sources of information for informal carers in the acute cancer setting; the informal carers of a sample of women treated for breast cancer.
Objective: To investigate stroke patients' and carers' perceptions of the family support organizer (FSO) service in order to highlight its value for potential purchasers and to help shed light on findings from randomized controlled trials.
Design and subjects: Twenty semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a sub sample of stroke patients and their primary informal carers after completion of nine-month outcome assessments as part of a randomized controlled trial.
The ageing population and associated burgeoning health care costs have resulted in a shift of care from institutional settings to home and communitybased care. As one example, rehabilitation-in-thehome (RITH) programs are becoming increasingly prevalent. These programs either substitute or supplement in-hospital treatment by providing multidisciplinary rehabilitation and support services in the client?s own home. This paper investigates the impact of RITH programs on informal carers.
Background: Too little is currently known about the prevalence of and risk factors for depression and carer strain among informal carers of community-dwelling elderly mentally ill. This study seeks to assess the prevalence of depression, using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15), the degree of carer burden/strain, and their risk factors among the primary informal carers of patients referred to our community-based old age psychiatry service.

text: The flyers describe Gordon Brown as "the greatest failure at being Prime Minister in 200 years", possibly unkind, but who's arguing? This monologue is written and directed by Kevin Toolis and performed brilliantly by Ian Grieve who, although never resorting to crude impersonation, bears an uncanny resemblance to the ex-PM. This is a quick-tempered man, often red-faced and raging, who has spent his entire life fighting for the top job and is now coming to terms with the fact that he is just not up to it. He reflects back on his life with disillusionment, realising that his lofty aspirations for the nation had been lost in the grimy reality of modern politics. Some of the best moments come when he vents his loathing for his predecessor and,on this, performer and audience are united. There are many very funny jokes, odd though they sound coming from the mouth of a man who always seemed devoid of any sense of humour. The show is in preparation for Edinburgh and it will need to lose 20 minutes to fit into its slot there; it will benefit greatly from this as there was far too much repetition in the second half and it needs a sharper focus. Who next – Tony Blair? Unlikely as his confessions would take far longer than one evening.


text: I am interested in applied intervention research focused on the reduction of prejudice. I'm also interested in addressing systemic prejudice such as reducing achievement gaps within STEM fields. I use laboratory research to inform applied interventions, focusing on understanding the mechanisms leading to prejudiced attitudes and behaviors and examining perceptions of marginalized groups. I work in both the Prejudice and Intergroup Relations Lab and the Harackiewicz Motivation Lab.

Technology-related industries are especially sensitive to integrating innovation in their processes and routines. Among the companies that invest in innovation more than others are pharmaceutical, information technology (IT), automotive, airline, banking, food processing, semiconductors, and oil and gas organisations. However, the degree of innovativeness varies in technology-related industries from incremental to breakthrough technology changes. As demonstrated by the below classification, radical innovation implies a new technology change as well as a new business model change. Alternatively, incremental innovation does not suggest any in-depth change and remains close to the existing technological solutions.
So, where can companies search for truly innovative ideas that would lead them to a radical technology change? In accordance with Peter F. Drucker, sources of innovation that exist within a firm or industry represent opportunities in such spheres as "unexpected occurrences, incongruities, process needs, and industry and market changes". Sources of innovation that exist in the external environment include "demographic changes, changes in perception, and new knowledge".
Internal Environment
Scan your internal organisational environment very carefully to discover what talents, dynamic capabilities and resources have not been fully realised yet. The previous experience of your employees may become a source of innovation. As Steve Jobs' speech to the graduates of Stanford University highlighted, Jobs would not have invented fonts for computers if he had not studied calligraphy before. The integration of seemingly "incompatible" experiences may give birth to astonishing ideas. Think of any unaddressed needs inside your firm – this may pave a direction for further research and development (R&D) and innovation.
External Environment
IBM sourced its innovative ideas from the unexpected success, which occurred when the company got a refusal from banks to buy their accounting machine in 1930. Later on, IBM received an unexpected agreement from libraries to purchase the same product in 1933. A decade later, other businesses realised the importance of IBM computers, which boosted a great demand for the company's product. This is an inspiring story of how changing consumer perceptions can make a highly demanded product/service what you already offer. Just remain adaptive to the customer needs and knock at all available doors.
The new marine renewable energy strategy presents an example of innovation sourced by market and industry changes – a more advanced technology that generates sea energy with minimal costs and environmental damage in the UK. This example is also in line with Drucker's view and proves that even the insufficient funding provided by the UK government did not impede the marine renewable energy industry to lead on a global scale. Of course, it is not easy for small technology companies to remain patient and wait for large-scale industry, demand and customer perception changes given their limited resources. Therefore, it is often a matter of luck whether the external changes will contribute to your innovative strategy or not.
The Global Innovation Index (GII), which was based on such quantitative indicators as an increase in three-year earnings and sales, and a share of R&D in sales, served for ranking the most innovative companies in the world, like Apple, Amazon, Dell, General Electric, Motorola, Procter & Gamble, Target, Walt Disney and others. Any company could observe a rise or fall of the GII posted online every morning. Nonetheless, this index is no longer calculated starting from March 2012 because "innovations ecosystems have become more complex". The complexity of innovation is also reflected in finding a trustworthy and effective source of innovation. If it were possible to give a detailed instruction of how to arrive at a radical change successfully, all companies in the world would be equally innovative, and hence, not competitive. For this reason, only the most creative and knowing ones will be able to scan their internal and external environments and separate the wheat from the chaff.

The Latest: Waters, Seydoux unveil trophy at French final
PARIS (AP) The Latest on the French Open (all times local):
9:10 p.m.
Rafael Nadal lifted the French Open trophy for an 11th time Sunday - and this time without the guidance of Uncle Toni.
For Toni Nadal, who stopped coaching his nephew at the end of last season, the experience wasn't that different.
''I was in the same seat,'' he said after watching Nadal beat Dominic Thiem in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. ''When I coached Rafael, it looked like a coach, but I was more an uncle.''
Nadal is now coached by former French Open champion Carlos Moya. That did not prevent his uncle from delivering some tactical advice ahead of the final.
''I told him he needed to hit the ball very high and try to come inside the court. Because if you stay behind the baseline against Dominic, he can take advantage of it,'' Toni Nadal said.
''He managed to do it well.''
6:40 p.m.
French Open runner-up Dominic Thiem says Rafael Nadal's feat of winning 11 titles at Roland Garros is one of the most awesome achievements in sports.

I made this box for Chris, the manager of the McDonald's in Ayer. He is a wicked cool guy that turned the store around and made it the best McD's that I have ever gone to! Customer service is number one when you go there, and Chris fits the bill.
The box is from Tim Holtz's Configuration line and I also used Tim's tissue tape to join the seams. The contents are all old McD collectible from 1983 and 1987.

People who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 should be able to travel abroad using a new digital pass and go to "vaccine-only" venues such as restaurants or sports stadiums, Tony Blair says today.
Releasing a report entitled "Less Risk, More Freedom", by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, the former prime minister says the time has come "to distinguish for the purposes of freedom from restriction between the vaccinated and unvaccinated".
The report argues that to date, measures intended to reduce the spread of disease have treated populations as largely homogenous groups. As a result, restrictions – such as national lockdowns, regional-tier systems and entire schools closed followingoutbreaks – have been blunt instruments.
The report argues that vaccinations have changed this, and that the relative risks posed by those who have been fully vaccinated, compared with those who have not, should be recognised.
Under the plan a new pass system would operate both domestically and, ultimately, internationally. No venue would be forced to become "vaccine-only", but those that opted to do so would be subject to fewer restrictions.
The report says the effectiveness of vaccines in reducing transmission is now proven beyond doubt and should be reflected in the freedoms people can enjoy. "Ultimately, the fully vaccinated are much less likely to infect others – approximately up to 50% less likely," it says. "Furthermore, they are less likely to die, be hospitalised or develop Covid-19 symptoms compared to pre-vaccine.
"Simply put, vaccine status matters. It is therefore critical that individuals are able to prove their vaccine status."
It advocates a "globally interoperable system of health passes", which would enable citizens to prove their status in a secure, "privacy-preserving way".
It adds: "The health pass needs to be usable both by national border authorities and other organisations within countries. It should also include the ability to demonstrate time-restricted testing status for those who aren't able to be vaccinated.
"With this ability to securely prove vaccination status, we can move beyond blunt, catch-all tools and align with other countries by removing certain restrictions for the fully vaccinated – thereby enabling us to sustainably reopen the economy."
For travel, the report proposes that anyone who is fully vaccinated should be free to travel to and from any country currently designated as "green" without any quarantine period or testing required.
Commenting on the report, Blair said: "The management of the Covid-19 pandemic is all about that management of risk. We place or remove restrictions here at home on that basis. We assess countries as green, amber or red on that basis. We vaccinate on the same basis. We know that vaccination radically reduces the risk of transmission and the risk of serious illness. It doesn't eliminate the risk. But the reduction is substantial and game-changing. Hence the country's embrace of vaccination and pride in doing it quickly.
"It is time to distinguish for the purposes of freedom from restriction between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, both for citizens here for domestic purposes; but also for our citizens and those from other countries in respect of travel on the basis that being vaccinated substantially reduces risk. It therefore makes no sense at all to treat those who have had vaccination as the same as those who haven't."

Like mother, like daughter! Kelly Ripa took daughter Lola Grace to a CNN gala on Sunday night, and the 18-year-old took a few fashion cues from her famous mom (or maybe vice versa?). The women rocked the red carpet on their adorable — and oh-so-New-York-City-style — mother-daughter date, stopping to pose for photos outside of the American Museum of Natural History.
The event, the 10th Annual CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute, was hosted by Anderson Cooper with a co-hosting assist from his longtime pal, Ripa. And since she had a "plus one," Ripa put it to good use by bringing Lola along for the star-studded night. Even sweeter (and chic), though, the women opted for complementary ensembles. Ripa wore a sparkly black velvet dress by Balmain with embellished black heels. Lola went a similar route with a high-necked, long-sleeved mini-dress. She went with a navy silk number from Reformation, which she finished with white Off-White heeled booties.
Although the night undoubtedly served as a fun mother-daughter date, Ripa possibly also parlayed it into a teachable moment. After all, the entire evening centers on doing good for others — a lesson every mom wants their children to learn. "Always a privilege to honor everyday people making a difference in their communities," Ripa wrote of the event in a throwback photo with Cooper she shared on Instagram ahead of the gala.
If Lola's dress looks familiar, you must follow Ripa on social media. The teen also rocked the piece for the family's Thanksgiving festivities. And while Ripa didn't wear the black Balmain number that night, she did once again go for a high-necked number. 'Tis the season, huh?
Although Ripa often jokes about her children attending college in the same city they grew up (and wishing, in general, her kids would actually leave the nest), it's obvious Ripa relishes her time with Lola. In September, she shared a sentimental throwback photo of the two when Lola was little. "Happy #nationaldaughterday Lola," Ripa captioned the pic. "I'm the luckiest to call you mine."

If you're still living with your parents and have been doing the same things over and over again since you were little, it could only lead to one of two things: you'd rather live in your parents' basement for the rest of your life or you'd rather live in on top of your parent's garage! Getting used to living a routine can be risky. Initially, it seems harmless, but it can turn into a slow-drying cement that will eventually keep you from moving on with your life. So, be vigilant and make sure that you know when you would need to start packing and move out of town. You should know when to set out and look for a more upbeat and full-of-life location like Tampa Bay. In Tampa Bay, moving wouldn't even be much of a fuss because of the many apartments you can live at in the City.
So, keep tabs of the following signs so that you won't get stuck with the dullness of the life you have right now:
1st sign: Seems like your friends are everywhere
Common enough, this is the first sign pointing out that your life is a broken record. You're at the convenience store to buy some chips to complement the Fast and Furious DVD you just bought and then you get sidetracked by the guy who keeps on talking to you at the gym about things you don't have a clue about. The next day, when you're lining up to buy some tickets for the 2012 movie, you notice that you're behind your social studies classmate and his girlfriend. The two of them then turn around and start yapping about things that happened in school months ago which you already know about; or worse yet, you've already talked about with 3 other friends of yours. Then, you head to the beach to catch some sun while reading a book and listening to some music. As soon as you get settled, you see your friends and they're waving for you to join them. If you have been feeling like you have no time for yourself, then maybe you should consider looking at Tampa apartments. The place will surely give you that much needed time alone time without taking away the excitement.
2nd sign: You get hooked whenever you read about other places
First it starts with looking at postcards. Then, it's urges to do some internet research about a place you just saw on TV. All these point to one simple truth—you think it's cooler to live in those places; and you're probably right. Something similar to this is when the only thing that excites you when staying at home is so that you can watch the travel channel. Frequently thinking of other places should be a 'go' signal to start checking out Tampa Bay.
3rd sign: You let go of your life goals
This sign is one that you should avoid. The limitations of your hometown maybe more damaging than you think. It starts with letting us compromise our dreams for practicality. Often, we misconstrue this act by thinking that it is the smarter thing to do. But what we fail to notice is that along the way, it eats up our motivation. Letting go of our goals is a quicksand of settling. Eventually, you are content without prestige and dignity.
The signs might seem a little scary but they are realities we should accept. The good thing is, you know what to look out for. When you start feeling these things, you know better than to succumb to hopelessness.

Rap star Nicki Minaj is Cosmopolitan magazine's July cover girl and she's saluting women big time.
The "Feeling Myself' rapper spoke candidly about her high maintenance bedroom preferences and why women should always get their way between the sheets.
"I demand that I climax. I think women should demand that," she says. "I have a friend who's never had an orgasm in her life. In her life! That hurts my heart. It's cuckoo to me."
Agreed! Minaj went on to discuss unequal pay for men and women on the job, saying it's important that woman speak up when it counts and never shy away from discussing money.
"Women are uncomfortable talking about money," Minaj added. "I know it's taboo to discuss it at work. Technically, you shouldn't, but you need to know what people around you are making. Otherwise, you're not going to know what you're worth. You have to ask questions. 'What is this person getting?' Do your research. I've always been pretty competitive in terms of my pay."
Right on, Nicki!
