While I mentioned that changes in CE business model were overdue, I didn't think the changes would be announced so rapidly.
I guess that's what happens when two of the industry's major buying groups, Nationwide Marketing Group and Brand Source, hold their winter meetings in the same city (Orlando) and on the same dates (Feb. 26 to 29).
The unilateral pricing changes and changes in channel management policies for TV and other CE categories have been in the works for months, discussed in vague terms by a variety of industry types before and during CES.
Samsung, Panasonic, Sony and LG provided some details on their policies in the past 48 hours as retailers met here in Florida, and are expected to be joined by other CE makers shortly.
In general the manufacturers are trying to hold the line on pricing, let brick and mortar retailers with selling floors sell their most profitable TV lines and other products, and stopping marketplace sales which encourage, in the words of many, "the race to the bottom."
The general feeling among retailers of both groups meeting in Orlando is that all of this is good news.
Nationwide electronics merchandising VP Doug Schatz said he is "cautiously optimistic" about the plans and respected PRO Group member Bjorn Dybdahl of Bjorn's Audio/Video commented at a Brand Source reception last night, "The key is how [vendors] will police these policies."
The tricky part in all this is that PRO Group, as well as members of Nationwide and Brand Source and other retailers large and small also sell on the internet on their own sites and have their own marketplace deals in place with eBay, among others.
How vendors and retailers negotiate how protected SKUs may or may not be sold online will be a key to the success or failure of these policies.
As Dave Workman, executive director of PRO Group, said last night here in Orlando, "Internet sales are a fact of life. Everyone says [web retail sales] will evolve, and maybe these policy changes are part of that evolution."

Robert Durst, who famously may have confessed to a murder on an HBO documentary, will have to stand trial for the 2000 slaying of his best friend, writer Susan Berman.
A judge ruled Thursday there is enough evidence for Durst to stand trial. Durst is charged with shooting Berman in the back of the head at her Benedict Canyon home.
Durst, age 75 ,was the subject of HBO's The Jinx, a miniseries examining his wife's disappearance, Berman's death, and the killing of Durst neighbor Morris Black in 2001. Durst was eventually arrested in New Orleans in connection with Berman's slaying on March 14, 2015, the day before the HBO series finale aired. In the finale, Durst mumbled, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
The case against Durst ruled on today is expected to focus on the theory that Berman was killed to keep her silent on what happened with Durst's first wife, who died in 1982 and was believed murdered as well.
Prosecutors allege that Berman was slain to keep her from telling authorities what she knew about the disappearance in New York of Durst's first wife years earlier. Los Angeles prosecutors have sought to build a case that Durst, the son of a prominent real estate tycoon, killed his wife, Kathleen, in 1982.
Durst has denied both killings and pleaded not guilty in the Los Angeles case.
Superior Court Judge Mark E. Windham cited comments Durst mumbled during filming of the HBO series and two handwriting samples. The judge also ruled that prosecutors could allege a special circumstance, that Durst killed Berman as a witness to a previous crime.
"The evidence," Windham said, "does suggest that Robert Durst killed Kathie."

Netherlands Economy 1999
Economyoverview: This prosperous and open economy is based on private enterprise with the government's presence felt in many aspects of the economy. Industrial activity features food processing, petroleum refining, and metalworking. The highly mechanized agricultural sector employs only 4% of the labor force, but provides large surpluses for export and the domestic food-processing industry. As a result, the Netherlands ranks third worldwide in value of agricultural exports, behind the US and France. Sharp cuts in subsidy and social security spending since the 1980s helped the Dutch achieve sustained economic growth combined with falling unemployment and moderate inflation. The economy achieved a strong 3.7% growth in 1998; a dip in the business cycle probably will cause the economy to decelerate to slightly over 2% growth in 1999. Unemployment in 1999 is expected to be less than 5% of the labor force, and inflation probably will decline. The Dutch joined the first wave of 11 EU countries launching the euro system on 1 January 1999.

Window Nation Provides energy efficient windows for local families facing fuel poverty
There is a type of poverty you may have never heard of – fuel poverty. Households that cannot afford to keep the home adequately warm or cool are considered to be experiencing fuel poverty. According to the Department of Energy, heat gain and heat loss through windows are responsible for 25%–30% of residential heating and cooling energy use.
For seniors living on low, fixed incomes, often in older homes that commonly lack proper insulation or weatherization, keeping up with the cost of electricity or gas can become a serious financial strain. Many low-income families are forced to make budget trade-offs in warmer months to pay off utility debt accumulated during the winter. Having a lower income is associated with a greater risk of temperature-related death, particularly for older adults. Heat and cold can challenge the ability to maintain a stable core body temperature, which heightens a person's vulnerability to illness.
Since 2019, we have partnered with Window Nation to provide new, energy efficient windows for four local families in dire need of window replacements. Before these families received their new windows (along with several other critical repairs), they all shared concerns with high heating and cooling bills as well as the drastic fluctuations in the temperature of their homes due to the weather conditions. The existing windows were as old as their 1940s homes and were presenting issues with security, maintenance, and the elements. "Being a disabled vet, it's that much better because my income […] I couldn't afford to have done it. I already feel like it's warmer in here," said Mr. Adams, one of the recipients of the new windows this year. Thanks to the generosity of Window Nation, these families are now living comfortably without the financial burden and associated health risks of drafty old windows.

Drew Stackel
When Drew Stackel wanted to reinforce the role of philanthropy in his adult children's lives, he suggested they to introduce him to their favorite charities. "I asked them to tell me about the charity's mission, who it helps and how it spends money," says the retired oil company engineer.
Stackel received a similar introduction to Americares. His employer, ExxonMobil, sent a list of company gift-matching charities that were responding to the devastating tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia. Stackel saw Americares on the list, researched its mission and efficiency and has been a regular supporter ever since. "I was super impressed with how Americares can leverage each dollar into $20 of benefits for people in need," says Stackel, "plus Americares has the ability to project resources into a disaster area so quickly."
Giving is important to Drew and his wife, Liz, who live in the Houston area. "It's our duty to help those who cannot always help themselves," he says, "especially if you have been blessed with the means and interest."
Including Americares in their estate plan was natural for the Stackels, who have four children. He sees it as another way to introduce philanthropy to younger generations. "We view it as an extension of our willingness to help others," says Stackel. "If you can set an example for your children, grandchildren and people with knowledge of your estate by including charities in your plan, then essentially you are serving as a role model."

A business license grants you the right to operate a business within the city. Start by contacting your city and/or municipality's business license department. You will fill out an application and upon doing so, the zoning department will check that your area is zoned for your business purpose (this will not happen in a day). If you are starting a business out of your home, investigate thoroughly. Residential neighborhoods tend to have stricter zonging laws. It does not mean you will not be granted a license, you just may need to file a variance.

No deadline for wind studies
Credit: John Spears, Business Reporter, www.thestar.com 17 October 2011 ~~
Ontario bureaucrats have been given "no firm deadline" for reporting on the possible health effects of offshore wind turbines, says the Ministry of Natural Resources.
But it says one of the studies will take up to three years.
The province is facing a $2.25 billion lawsuit from a wind power developer after it slapped an indefinite moratorium on offshore wind power developments in February.
At the time, the province said it was suspending offshore developments in order to conduct further study on the health and environmental impact of the turbines.
The moratorium was widely seen as a way of burying the issue until after the Oct. 6 provincial election. The lawsuit, by Trillium Power Wind Corp., was filed the week before the election.
Trillium had been planning a wind development in eastern Lake Ontario, off Kingston, and says in its statement of claim that it has been severely damaged by the moratorium. It says a financing deal collapsed when the moratorium was imposed.
Assertions made in the statement of claim have not been proven; they may be challenged and amended, or deleted.
Trillium maintains in its statement of claim that the province hasn't undertaken any scientific studies on health impacts as it said it would.
It says the moratorium was imposed to mollify voters in swing ridings.
Energy Minister Brad Duguid has denounced the court action "one of the most offensive lawsuits I've ever seen."
He said the government must protect the environment.
When the Star asked for specifics about what research is under way, the Ministry of Natural Resources supplied the following list:
• "Research on potential impacts and benefits of offshore windpower turbines . . . This was principally a literature review."
• "A review of the potential effects of offshore wind power development on natural coastal processes (e.g. currents and sediment flow). The ministry hired a leading engineering firm experienced in working in freshwater environments to provide advice on issues, impacts and potential mitigation strategies for potential offshore wind power development in the Great Lakes."
• "Weather radar studies of the migratory patterns of birds and bats, to better understand how birds and bats use and cross both lakes Erie and Ontario. We expect the first year of research to be released via science journals in next year."
• "A study in Lake Ontario assessing the potential electromagnetic impacts of underwater high voltage cables on local fisheries. Field work still underway. We hope to publish this within the next three years."
The ministry says the underwater cable research will take place near Wolfe Island by Kingston and will compare fish populations near an existing cable with those that are not.
Asked what the budget is for the studies, the ministry wouldn't supply a figure.

Aa a finger exercise in writing, I decided to submit a piece to Manolo's
Essay Contest. The constraints — low word count, a subject
that really doesn't interest me much — appealed to me. I
figured if I could produce something interesting under those
circumstances, it would be an accomplishment.
Here it is. You be the judge…
I'm a geek, not a fashion plate. I don't think about shoes a lot,
but I know what I like — and when I do think about shoes, I'm
profoundly grateful for some of the changes that have come about in my
lifetime. I'm thinking, more than anything else, of the way athletic
shoes have taken over the world.
When I was a kid back in the 1960s and early 1970s, "shoes" still
meant, basically, "hard leather oxfords". Ugly stiff things with a
high-maintainence finish that would scuff if you breathed on them.
What I liked was sneakers. But in those bygone days you didn't get
to wear sneakers past a certain age, unless you were doing sneaker
things like playing basketball. And I sucked at basketball.
I revolted against the tyranny of the oxford by wearing desert boots,
which back then weren't actually boots at all but a kind of high-top
shoe with a suede finish and a grip sole. These were just barely
acceptable in polite company; in fact, if you can believe this, I was
teased about them at school. It was a more conformist time.
I still remember the first time I saw a shoe I actually liked and
wanted to own, around 1982. It was called an Aspen, and it was built
exactly like a running shoe but with a soft suede upper. Felt like
sneakers on my feet, looked like a grownup shoe from any distance.
And I still remember exactly how my Aspens — both of them —
literally fell apart at the same moment as I was crossing Walnut
Street in West Philly. These were not well-made shoes. I had to limp
But better days were coming. In the early 1990s athletic shoes
underwent a kind of Cambrian explosion, proliferating into all kinds
of odd styles. Reebok and Rockport and a few other makers finally
figured out what I wanted — athletic-shoe fit and comfort with a
sleek all-black look I could wear into a client's office, and no
polishing or shoe trees or any of that annoying overhead!
I look around me today and I see that athletic-shoe tech has taken over.
The torture devices of my childhood are almost a memory. Thank you,
oh inscrutable shoe gods. Thank you Rockport. It's not a big thing
like the Internet, but comfortable un-fussy shoes have made my life

Theresa May's scheme requiring all private landlords to check the immigration status of new tenants and lodgers has run straight into trouble with the Liberal Democrats, who have voiced concerns that it will increase homelessness and drive migrants underground into the hands of unscrupulous landlords.
A spokesman for Nick Clegg said the home secretary had been forced to agree to restrict the proposal this side of the next general election to a trial scheme in a single area, as the government introduced the immigration bill in the Commons.
"The Conservatives want to roll this out nationally but because of our concerns we will not agree to that. This will be piloted in a single area," the spokesman for the deputy prime minister said.
The Home Office acknowledged that the landlord checks will be introduced on a phased basis across England and Wales but insisted that the first phase was not a trial scheme: "This is not a pilot, as the bill published today makes clear.
"We plan to introduce the measure on a phased basis starting from next autumn. This is a sensible approach to ensure that we have the correct systems and infrastructure in place before rolling this out nationally."
But it is unlikely that the first phase, which will start next autumn, will be completed before the 2015 general election.
The plan to introduce checks on the immigration status of millions of private sector tenants is a central element of May's immigration bill published on Thursday, which is designed to "create a hostile environment for illegal migrants".
It is not the first time that the Lib Dems have secured concessions from the Conservatives during eight months of tortuous coalition negotiations over the bill. A move to require headteachers to carry out immigration checks on new pupils was also dropped.
The published bill includes measures requiring immigration status checks to be carried out before anyone can open a bank or building society account, apply for a driving licence, try to rent a private house or flat or live in a room in a private house as a lodger. Landlords who fail to carry out the checks face fines of up to £3,000.
A "health levy" of £200 will also be imposed on temporary migrants who are coming to Britain for six to 12 months to be paid when they apply for a visa. Overseas students will have to pay a smaller fee. Further proposals to ensure foreign nationals are charged for non-emergency health treatment in Britain are to be published in the next few weeks.
May's bill also aims to make it easier to identify illegal immigrants by extending the powers of immigration officers to collect and check fingerprints and search for passports, introducing exit controls at airports and ports and extending the notification period for a marriage from 15 to 28 days to enable suspicious "sham" marriages to be investigated.
The bill was published as MPs on the Commons home affairs select committee warned that Britain was at risk of harbouring war criminals and terrorists because of poor asylum decisions made by border officials.
Its chairman, Keith Vaz, said the committee was concerned about decisions to grant asylum to people later found to be involved in terrorist activity.
His comments follow the case of the suspected senior al-Qaida member Abu Anas al-Libi who, it was wrongly reported at the weekend, had been granted political asylum in Britain in the mid-1990s.
Their inquiry report also shows that the backlog of asylum seekers waiting more than six months for an initial decision has risen by 63% in the last year to 32,600 applicants. Some in the backlog have been waiting up to 16 years for a decision.

Speaking of holidays, am I the only one who has been too lazy to put away the Christmas decorations? I guess the stomach flu gave me some what of a pass but I am seriously thinking of adding a "holiday packer" to my list of people I would pay to do my work for me.
Along with someone to put away my laundry.
And someone to change my bed sheets.
And someone to fill my gas tank.
Wow, my list is getting quite long!

Sometimes a person can have a love-hate relationship with an
object. My grandfather purchased our Massey-Harris tractor new,
shortly after World War Two. I don't know if the tractor still
exists, but if she does, this is for her-
Old Massey-Harris '81
You son-of-a-gun.
Cause of many mistakes;
never had good brakes.
Barbed wire around your nose;
crashing through fence rows.
Over dead furrows flying.
As a boy you set me crying.
The hay rack was smashed
and manure spreader bashed.
Cracks in frame and fender;
a disgrace to your gender.
Dented, rusted piece of tin,
your soul full of sin.
Smoking, chugging hunk,
a nasty pile of junk.
When your existence ceases,
may you rest in little pieces.

The Villa Oplontis, also known as the Villa Poppaea, was an elite Roman Villa. A Roman holiday home, archaeology has uncovered baths, gardens, a guest suite and swimming pool.
The Villa Oplontis was preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. Excavations have revealed it to be an elite Roman holiday home rather than a permanent residence. Notable features include baths, cubiculii, triclinii and frescos, as well as indoor and outdoor gardens, a guest suite and an outdoor swimming pool.
Overview of the House.
Located in modern Torre Annunziata, the Villa Oplontis is one of two elite villas belonging to Roman Oplontis, a small town named on the Tabula Peutingeriana, an ancient map of Roman imperial roads.
After its discovery in 1964, archaeologists spent twenty years excavating and studying the complex. What was revealed was an elite home used as a summer retreat rather than a permanenet residence.
The style and scale of the villa suggested it was an important residence and it has been linked to Poppaea Sabina, second wife of the Emperor Nero whose home town was nearby Pompeii.
The house was built in two phases. The oldest part of the house is a classical atrium style, dating to the mid first century AD. This remained the core residential area throughout the villa's history.
Later, the house was extended. This new wing was primarily recreational, centring on the swimming pool and large northern gardens. Overlooking the pool were a series of guest suites, each with their own sitting rooms. These improvements were still in progress at the time of Vesuvius's eruption.
The Atrium and Reception Rooms.
The main reception room or atrium lay in the original residence. It had the traditional roof opening, the conpluvium, which allowed rainwater to collect in a central pool, the impluvium.
The atrium was a vast room, decorated to impress both residential guests and clients. Its perspective was increased by visual devises. The walls were painted with 2nd style murals, which incorporated landscapes and mythological scenes into a framework of columns and porticos. This had the effect of making the room feel bigger than it was.
Immediately opposite the entrance to the atrium were folding doors which opened to reveal a small peristyle garden, which again added to the sense of space within the villa.
Roman Bedrooms and the Guest Suite.
The most private area of the villa was arguably a person's bedroom or cubiculum. There were two areas of cubiculi in the villa: those in the main house and those in the guest suite.
The Main House. Here, bedrooms followed the traditional pattern of the roman house and were grouped around the atrium. There were alcoves for beds but there would have been little more furniture in these small rooms. They were, however lavishly decorated with 2nd style frescos. The folding window shutters of these rooms were preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius and their petrified remains can still be seen today as they were at the time of the eruption: half open to allow in air.
The Guest Bedrooms. These were more plainly decorated in blocks of colour: white at the top and yellow, red or black at the bottom. Each room had its own sitting room, with niches for statues. Connecting each bedroom and sitting room was a small viridarium.
The Roman Gardens-Peristyle Gardens and Viridarii.
A viridarium was a small enclosed internal garden. In the Villa Oplontis, the walls of the viridarii were painted with intricate horticultural scenes whilst interior windows allowed vistas onto the sitting rooms and bedrooms of each individual guest.
Other gardens were found throughout the villa. To the east of the atrium was the original large peristyle garden. Confined by the house, with colonnaded porticos on three sides, it was probably the private retreat of the owners, unlike the enormous northern gardens.
These were landscaped and formed the setting for the villa's swimming pool. Sculpture would have flanked the 61 x17m pool, which was tilted at the south end to allow water to drain away when the pool was emptied. A portico ran along the western side, facing onto the guest suites, allowing visitors wonderful views as well as easy access to the facilities.
The Summer and Winter Triclinii.
The location of the pool suggests that the guest suite was not just a place to house guests;it was a place to entertain them. This picture is completed by the discovery of a triclinium in the guest suite extension.
This room was intended to impress-and would have done if it had been completed for the use of guests. It opened up to the northern gardens and was of an impressive size.
The guest triclinium, however would not have eclipsed the triclinii of the main house. Situated to the far west of the atrium, there was a small internal winter dining room which opened into the summer triclinium. This room had a large door that opened out onto views towards the sea. A second style mural portrayed architectural features which served as frames for motifs such as peacocks, theatrical masks and emblems of the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi. The mural which is remarkable undamaged, is still impressively vibrant.
Roman Baths and Ancillary Rooms.
The far north west of the house was dedicated to ancillary features such as the kitchen. The servant's quarters were not in a separate wing but a series of rooms near the household lararium. They included a small internal peristyle garden and fountain whose plain decor showed it was part of the service areas.
The bath suite was also in the north west quarter. It had two rooms:the calidarium (hot room) and tepidarium (warm room). In the hot room, tegulae mammatae- hollow terracotta slabs incorporated into the walls joined with suspensurae- brick pillars supporting the floor, to create a conduit for warm air that would have flowed around the whole room. The warm room only had the under floor heating, to ensure a cooler temperature. Both rooms were decorated in yellow, red and black in second style.
The latrines were in the north east of the old house, well away from the public rooms but connected to the new wing of the house, making them accessible to guests and residents alike.

2014 Session Update
It has been a remarkable few months. We have made great progress thanks to all of your support. However, despite our hard work, the voting rights restoration bill will not pass this session. Bills need to be first voted on in small committees. Even though there were no compelling arguments against the change, and we had bipartisan support, we were not able to get the bill heard in the right committees because there was not enough political will.
Despite this temporary setback, restoring voting rights for those living in the community has seen significant increases in support and momentum. With your help, support will continue to grow and result in the change we seek next year.
We will convene a meeting sometime after this session slows down to discuss next steps. In the meantime, here are some action step ideas for you: Write letters to the editor in local papers regarding this session's efforts and result; speak to your legislators now and going forward; recruit new organizations; ask people to visit this website and sign up, ask others to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, and look for speaking opportunities.
Thank you so much for all of your work and support!
Here is a list of some of our accomplishments this year:
- Over 50 organizations have now officially signed on in support. The list of supporters can be found here.
- The bill was heard and passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee where there was no testimony or statements in opposition to the bill.
- Coalition members met with over 20 legislators from both parties and had very positive conversations (in addition to the many visits made as part of various days on the Hill).
- Over 300 voting restoration postcards were delivered to legislators.
- Hundreds of emails and calls were made to legislators. We do not have a good measure of all the contacts made. The Catholic Conference alone, for example, had approximately 80 members send emails and an uncounted number make phone calls.
- Voting rights restoration was the featured agenda item of Second Chance Day on the Hill, which included a press conference and received favorable coverage on local prime time television news and other media both locally and nationally.
- Voting rights restoration was a featured item of days on the hill for MPIRG, Recovery Day on the Hill, Organizing Apprenticeship Project's Racial Justice Day on the Hill, and the League of Women Voters of Minneapolis annual community forum.
- This website has been created with supporting information and materials such as a Prezi (online Powerpoint style) presentation and information about geographic distribution and the history of disenfranchisement in Minnesota.
- A Facebook page has been created and now has 927 "likes". A Twitter account was also created.
- Due to many party platform resolutions passed during precinct caucuses, voting rights restoration is being considered for part of the Minnesota DFL party platform.

Detention Center Scorecards
Our Detention Center Scorecards are aimed at highlighting the most banal and deplorable detention centers in California. The centers we have chosen are based on a report by Human Rights Watch that features the immigrant detention centers with the highest populations.
CIYJA's goal is the abolishment and dismantling of all detention centers because we recognize that they only exist to oppress and profit off of immigrants.
Yuba County Jail is about one hour north of Sacramento and has very limited visiting hours.
1 documented deaths; tt was a suicide of mentally ill detainee. This detention center was sued in 2016 after lawyers discovered 41 suicide attempts at the center that occurred within 2 years.
The county has been under court order to improve the jail's conditions for 38 years, and ICE auditors have found problems at the jail in the past.
Cockroaches, mold on the walls and unsanitary kitchen areas cited in ICE compliance inspection.
30 minutes away from Downtown Sacramento. Visitation dates and hours are very limited compared to other detention centers.
1 documented death in March 2018. It is still being investigated.
According to a report by a disability rights org, the detention center used undue and excessive isolation and solitary confinement; inadequate mental health care; and denial of rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Compliance report found a very unclean kitchen area.
Access for Freedom for Immigrants' visitation program was revoked March 6. This detention center is about 45 minutes away from San Francisco.
1 documented death of a woman, who passed away getting medical treatment for undisclosed reasons.
Recently, two inmates were raped by a deputy (not in ICE custody but in general population) but Sheriff Livingston has tried to downplay the situation. This complaint by women published on IMMprint details physical and verbal abuse.
Religious diets are not respected, and in a compliance inspection report, Jail officials say that the exclusion of meat from a meal constitutes a religious diet.
Because Mesa Verde is far from the courts and urban hubs, visitations can be difficult when folks are brought in from far away. This is an issue bc most of the lawyers that represent these folks are pro-bono lawyers who don't get much compensation as it is, and a drive to Central Valley can be time consuming and costly. Geo argues that the detention center was created for folks from the area to have their detained loved ones close by, yet no data suggests that only folks from the Central Valley are housed there.
0 Documented Deaths.
"transferring immigrants to the new facility in Mesa Verde represents a big health risk to the people ICE plans to detain there.
Mesa Verde is located in the heart of a region that has high rates of coccidioidomycosis cases, a disease also known as "cocci," valley fever, or death dust. For most, valley fever is a momentary illness, but for some people, it can be life-threatening, requiring hospitalization or a lifetime of medical treatment."
According to ICE's own reports, allegations of bad food conditions have surfaced on behalf of detainees who said that meals are often repeated. GEO provides food services for its own detention centers, and though they say their meals are approved by a nutritionist, they are not accredited by any Health or Food Services.
Moderate. Theo Lacy is in the city of Orange, about 45 minutes away from Los Angeles.
2 Documented Deaths. Both deaths involves inmates who were beat to death by other inmates as a result of sheriff neglect and inadequacy.
According reports by Freedom for Immigrants and the ACLU, the Theo Lacy Facility overused solitary confinement, practiced Medical neglect, and had many instances of Physical abuse.
This is by the far the worst detention center in terms of food quality. Detainees are being served "spoiled meat" according to an assessment by the Offices of the Inspector General.
Moderate. James A Musick is in the city of Irvine, about 45 minutes away from Los Angeles.
2 Documented Deaths. One inmate died of a heart attack in detention, and the family sued the sheriffs arguing that his death could have been prevented with proper medical treatment.
According to a report by the ACLU, detainees said that guards would often berate them, spit on them, and used racial slurs to instigate violence.
"Dominic states that Deputy I spit ice water on her as she returned from an official visit." (James A. Musick, 8/15/2012)
Moderate, no highlighted conditions in ICE report.
The trek to Adelanto can be impossible without a car, and even with one, unpaved and unmarked roads can be as dangerous as they are terrifying. Additionally, in person interactions are forbidden and visitation occurs through impersonal and monitored video calls.
6 Documented Deaths. This detention center has the second most deaths in the state of California. It was the deadliest detention center to be held at in 2017, and a federal investigation of deaths concluded that they could have been prevented. Adelanto is run by The Geo Group, one of the biggest private businesses that profits off of detention migration. Geo has a track record of human rights violations.
This detention center has the 2nd most deportations in California and is notorious for human rights violations, deplorable conditions and physical as well as verbal abuse. Conditions in the Detention Center are grueling, and grassroots organizers have been advocating for its closure for years. They have been accused of many human rights and physical abuse violations that have led to six deaths, a miscarriage, and multiple religious rights violations. One detainee revealed details of extreme physical abuse involving tear gas and brutal punishment.
This facility has no food quality accreditation and according to inspections by ICE food quality is poor.
This facility is near the border making visitation a difficult task for immigrant families.
0 Documented Deaths
According to a detention center compliance inspection, 'Four detainees alleged a staff officer was rude and verbally abusive towards detainees." The same report found multiple instances of medical negligence.
The facility has no food service accreditation and detainees have been served spoiled milk.
Otay Mesa is about an hour away from downtown San Diego. Visitations are limited and the location close to the border keeps many immigrant families away from their loved ones.
12 Documented Deaths. By far the most deaths at any detention center in California. Many folks attempting to enter the U.S go through the deadly Otay Mesa Detention Center. One inmate's body was not found until days later when the smell caused concern. CoreCivic, the private group that profits off of immigrant incarceration at this center, has a history of complaints, violations and abuse.
Otay Mesa is Among the top five detention facilities for sexual assault complaints, and is the detention center with the most deaths in California at 12 deaths. There have been Complaints of mistreatment/inadequate care for detained pregnant women,
Controversy over Forced labor, and it is the detention center that deports more people than any other in the state.
The facility has no food service accreditation.
The Yolo Juvenile Detention Facility is about half an hour outside of Sacramento. The visitation schedule is restrictive.
2 Deaths by suicide in 2010
Yolo County Juvenile Detention Center is one of two facilities that houses children immigrants under the direction of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The detention center was nearly closed down this year because of reports of lack of mental health care access and violent incidents.
No available information on food quality.

By Lal Jan Afridi, Technical Adviser/M&E, SAWERA, July 2013
Farida Afridi was brutally murdered by militants at Jamrud Khyber Agency, on 4th July 2012. This followed threats related to her work for women rights.
Farida Afridi was a brave woman - a women's rights and peace advocate. She was 26 years old, with a master's degree in women and gender studies.
She belonged to a very poor and marginalized family, but she was committed to social change and economic emancipation for women from the platform of SAWERA.
The Inspiration Behind SAWERA
Farida Afridi, a dedicated women rights defender and active social worker working for the welfare, development and rights of tribal women, established Society for Appraisal & Women Empowerment in Rural Areas (SAWERA) along with her other colleagues.
SAWERA is women-led NGO working in the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) in particular, and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in general.
The inspiration behind the establishment of SAWERA happened when some like-minded educated women of FATA gathered together to think about developmental interventions, and felt that marginalized population of society are repeatedly ignored by authorities.
The outcome of these deliberations and efforts was the creation of SAWERA in 2004.
SAWERA is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization dedicated to social and economic development with due regard for gender mainstreaming and social protection, especially focusing the backward areas and the marginalized population of the communities, like women and children.
The founding members have rich experience in social engineering, participatory development, disaster management, gender mainstreaming, and poverty alleviation initiatives through resource management in a systematic approach.
Being the co-founding member of (SAWERA), Farida Afridi always worked to empower women of the marginalized communities of FATA, she always worked to educate women through quality education with modern methods.
She always talked about the women's health issues and pressured authorities to take practical steps for positive reforms.
In an interview with a private television channel, Farida spoke out:
"We need reforms in almost every field, especially in women's sectors".
Farida Afridi Memorial Library
A Scholarship for Tribal Area Women
Society for Appraisal & Women Empowerment & Rural Areas (SAWERA) arranged an inauguration ceremony of the Farida Afridi Memorial Library at Government Elementary College for Women (GECW), Khyber Agency, at Jamrud on 31, Janurary 2013.
All the students and teachers participated at ceremony.
The Pakistan women scholars who have received the Annemarie Schimmel scholarship in past and have returned back to Pakistan have decided to work for the betterment of the society and promote the cause of education in Pakistan. These women scholars have been awarding the Zoe Bibi education Awards each year.
This year, the award was given in the name of Shaheed Farida Afridi Scholarship for the tribal area women.
Takkra Qabilee Khwenday (TQK), a forum of civil society organizations and individuals dedicated to empowering tribal women, decided to dedicate this year's scholarship award to Farida Afridi, and educate two girls of Khyber Agency.
Afterwards, SAWERA conducted meetings with education department of Khyber Agency and the Elementary College Administration, but they refused and said that all the students of Elementary College already getting scholarships; therefore, according to policy, one student cannot receive two scholarships at a time.
However, after consultation with college administration, it has been finalized that the Farida Afridi Memorial Library will be established on the college premises.
Testimonies to Farida Afridi
The programme formally started from the recitation of Holy Quran, student of B-Ed, Ms. Gul Naz, performed Tilawat-E-Quran.
Lal Jan Afridi, of SAWERA, told the participants about Farida Afridi and her commitment and working efforts to empower women of tribal areas both socially and economically.
He further highlighted that the Farida Afridi Memorial Library is also the project of Takkra Qabilee Khwenday (TKQ) which is dedicated to Shaheed Farida Afridi for her efforts, as she struggled for women's rights.
"Farida Afridi was the inspiration and she was the really change agent; her efforts and dedication are unforgettable for me and for every sensitive person as well.
I strongly desire that every girl/student act like Farida Afridi.
I first heard about TQK – which will be working to empower women of the tribal region and will raise their voice for peace and development, as well as women's rights."
Madam Khalida Adib - Teacher of Farida Afridi and Principal of the Government Elementary College for Women (GECW).
"I thank TQK members for the outstanding donations of books, because we really need it.
We also condemn the brutal killing of innocent Farida Afridi, as she was the brilliant student of our college during her stay with us".
Madam Safia Khaton – Vice Principal, Government Elementary College for Women (GECW).

Education & Human Capital
As around half of Indonesia's population is currently under the age of 30, President Joko Widodo, better known as President Jokowi, has repeatedly stressed the need for the country to overhaul its education system in order to prepare the future workforce to compete in an information-, technology- and creativity-driven global marketplace. While currently on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the construction of a new capital city powered by smart technologies in East Kalimantan will further drive local demand for skilled engineers capable of spearheading the government's Making Indonesia 4.0 initiative, a vision designed to prepare the country for the increasing automation of industry. This chapter contains interviews with Nadiem Makarim, Minister of Education and Culture; and Tony Fernandes, CEO, AirAsia Group.

"I'm saying I did not sexually harass her," Hancock said during an interview with journalist Tony Kovaleski about Branch-Wise on Denver7, the station that broke the story on February 27. "My text exchanges with her blurred the line between being a friend and a boss."
They did more than that, according to rules and regulations established by the Denver Career Service Authority. The section in question defines sexual harassment as "any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature when: 1. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; or 2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; or 3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment."
Moreover, examples cited under the sexual-harassment heading include "unwelcome sex-oriented verbal 'kidding'" and "unwelcome 'teasing' or jokes." And this collection of texts between Hancock and Branch-Wise seems to fit that description:
Hancock: "What are you doing tonight?"
Branch-Wise: "Nothing just watching TV."
Hancock: "Just giving you a hard time. I have to keep you balanced. All I hear from my friends is how fine you are. I just had dinner with three friends in LA and your name came up and they all commented on you. You should feel good my friends really appreciate you."
Hancock: "OK, so I just watched this story on women taking pole dancing classes. Have you every taking [sic] one and why do women take the course? If not, have you ever considered taking one and why? Thoughts?"
Hancock: "Be careful! I'm curious!"
Hancock: "LOL!"
Hancock: "Hope you are doing better."
Branch-Wise: "I am. Much better."
Hancock: "Very good. Have a good weekend."
Branch-Wise: "You too!"
Hancock: "Just landed in LV. It's party time, baby!!"
Branch-Wise: "Yay!!!!! Like a rockstar!"
Hancock: "Loved the short doo. You make it hard on a brotha to keep it correct everyday."
Hancock: "You look sexy in all that black! LOL!
Branch-Wise: "You saw me?"
Hancock: "How would I know you had on black? Were all over the TV!"
Dear Members of the Department of Public Safety:After Riggs's memo saw light, Diane Vertovec, director of marketing and communications for Denver's Office of Human Resources, tried to walk it back. "We've seen some tweets and news reports indicating that the City and County of Denver is launching sexual harassment training in light of the apology Mayor Hancock issued yesterday. That's not accurate," she wrote.
In light of the media stories about about the Mayor's communications six years ago with a member of his security detail, the Mayor and I believe it is very important to reiterate our commitment to a professional, respectful and safe work environment for all City employees — without regard to their gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, national origin, disability, age, religion or any other status protected by law....
Please be assured of the Mayor's and the City's commitment to the laws and City policies that govern equal employment opportunity in the workplace, including those that prohibit sexual harassment and retaliation. The City's Office of Human Resources has been developing a mandatory sexual harassment training for City employees, which will be rolled out shortly.
If you have questions about the City's policies, please feel free to contact the Office of Human Relations or Safety Human Resources.
Thank you for the important work that you do on a daily basis for the Department of Public Safety, the City and our community.
With appreciation,
Troy Riggs
Executive Director of Public Safety
"Denver's Office of Human Resources has been working to deliver a sexual harassment and safe workplace training program that will be mandatory for all City and County of Denver employees," Vertovec continued. "This training program was in the works months prior to the apology issued yesterday by the mayor and is not a response to that news. This training is on track to be released to employees in early March and will be required training every two years. All employees are required to participate in the fifteen-minute online program which includes a video presentation with examples of the various types of behaviors that may constitute sexual harassment, and what the responsibilities are if it occurs."
In the meantime, the Denver Fraternal Order of Police unleashed a tweetstorm directed at Hancock. It reads:
"Not the first time that the Mayor has exercised his power over a female. This organization has been a witness and supporter of another victim. We have stood hand in hand with Lisa Calderon and her plight as a woman being bullied around by the mayor for speaking out. #fightback
"Mr. Kovaleski stated that Mayor Hancock is the most powerful man in Denver. What always brings a weak man down? Sex, power, and money! The real power is this female officer speaking out against behavior that is unbecoming from an elected official.#standupbeloud
"Officers make mistakes too Mr. Mayor and we are also human. The difference is we get time off or terminated. What does the Mayor get when he violates his own executive orders and policies. NOTHING! Something is definitely wrong in Denver And has been for a long time."
By the way, Lisa Calderon, who's mentioned in the Denver FOP tweets above, is the co-chair of the Colorado Latino Forum, which is reportedly planning a March 7 rally to castigate Hancock for his actions.
Also weighing in with harsh remarks was the Denver Police Protective Association, which issued the following statement:
The Denver Police Protective Association stands in support and solidarity with our member who has endured sexual misconduct in the workplace at the highest level. We recognize the hardship this has brought to her, her family and other members through this difficult time.The most explicit call for Hancock to voluntarily leave office because of the revelations has come from former Denver City Council member Susan Barnes-Gelt, who Facebooked a link to Mike Littwin's highly critical column for the Colorado Independent along with this introductory comment: "Colorado Independent is spot on. Hancock should resign and shame on the city council for playing dumb.... Fortress City Hall needs more than sunlight. How about disinfectant?"
In today's climate, with the proliferation of sexual misconduct by prominent public figures and elected officials who are entrusted with great power, our members are saddened to learn the City of Denver is now affected by this epidemic. While we are aware that this isn't the first time the Mayor's name has been associated with sexual scandal, we consider the allegations against Mayor Michael Hancock very serious. We urge the people of Denver to be adamant that our City officials are held accountable to the highest standard for their behavior and actions.
The Denver Police Protective Association commends the bravery and courage of what Time magazine named "The Silence Breakers" and those who continue to come forward. We are determined to create a workplace where all women are free from sexual harassment, misconduct and assault, and vow to expose any retaliation....
We also support and encourage others who have been victimized to come forward, as there will always be support for those who have experienced sexual misconduct.
Current city council members haven't gone quite so far. For instance, Robin Kniech wrote: "Sexual behavior in the workplace is disrespectful and disempowering to women, and it is totally unacceptable. Responsibility always lies with the boss to set high standards and to live by them, and I'm deeply troubled by the Mayor's actions, the environment it created for Detective Branch-Wise and the consequences for our City. It can be confusing and scary to try to navigate what to do about inappropriate behavior in the work place, but no one deserves to feel uncomfortable or intimidated. It is up to us as leaders to make clear that sexual behavior in the workplace is unacceptable, and anyone experiencing it can and should speak up and seek help."
For his part, a statement from Albus Brooks combines compassion for Branch-Wise with remarks that implicitly support Hancock remaining in office:
My heart hurts for the city in this moment.
My head hurts for Detective Branch-Wise and the families this impacted.
The Mayor has rightfully apologized and I trust that he and his administration are taking the appropriate steps to learn from this lesson so it won't happen again.
In this situation, Denver City Council has no legal authority to take any action on behalf of this employee or against the Mayor.
Mayor Hancock's apology and process for reconciliation is important not only for the parties involved, but for the city of Denver.
As the President of Denver City Council, it is important to me that we foster a safe work environment for all city employees. I am committed to creating a culture where the lessons we learn from can be applied to develop a more equitable Denver.
Dear City Employees —One more person to be heard from: Scottie Ewing, the central figure in the Denver Players/Denver Sugar prostitution ring, which touched on Hancock when his cell phone number (listed under the name "Michael Handcock") appeared on an alleged clients list.
Yesterday, I issued a sincere apology to a Denver Police Detective who is a former member of my security team. I also apologize to my wife and family, and I apologize to all of you. I have learned from this mistake, and today I assure you that my words and actions will continue to support all women in the workplace.
Six years ago, the Detective called me to let me know that she had requested a transfer out of the unit because a member of my staff had sexually harassed her. I listened and what I heard greatly disturbed me. I apologized that this had happened. We reviewed the matter and took immediate action. The employee was fired within days.
While those facts have been public for years, I am apologizing for my own words from that time — text messages that were too familiar and unprofessional. Unfortunately, I didn't know until just a few days ago that she felt our text exchanges contributed to the pain and disrespect she was already feeling. But it is obvious now that she did feel that way.
I have the utmost respect for the Detective. She showed courage in 2012, and again by coming forward now. She is a valued and dedicated police officer who has served and continues to serve this city well.
I trust that those who know me will recognize that this is not a full measure of my character — of who I am as a husband, a father, a son or the Mayor of this great city. I hope you'll also take a moment to hear these words directly from me.
Thank you for the important work that you do every day for the city and its residents.
Michael Hancock
Early March 1, Ewing sent an email to Westword editor Patricia Calhoun:
"This evening my phone, texts, and messenger was suddenly inundated with links to the latest Hancock bullshit. I liken Hancock to a guy like Anthony Weiner. He's smart enough to not hire an escort again, however, he lacks the self control and resorts to sexual harassment via text.... What a fool. A man flirts for ONE reason, and that's to get laid, or perhaps just to be a creeper.
"The irony is, all these years I was in the sex biz surrounded by young, beautiful girls; not once did any escort, phone girl, bartender, waitress or staff member ever accuse me of or associate me with sexual harassment. Who's got better character and is more honest? Hancock is married with kids and is the BOSS of Denver. His wife deserves better. This is further proof through behavioral patterns he was indeed a customer despite the successful efforts to hide and squash the evidence. He deserves to be humiliated again. If this isn't clear evidence of a Weiner-like pattern, I don't know what is. I stand by my records, the escort(s) that saw him, and my facts. He was a customer of mine, period. Thanks, Michael, for the delayed validation.

Do you ever find yourself torn between utter travel snobbery, looking for budget solutions and the burning desire to chase the most well-known tourist attractions everywhere you go? I do.
Refusing to ever get on a Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus falls into the travel snob category. Why would one ever take part in an accessible, affordable, well run and fun experience that has been so successful it is now enjoyed in over 150 cities around the world? Ridiculous idea, right?
When I lived in London for almost ten years, red buses filled with holiday-makers must have passed me by at least 20 times a day. I had zero time for them. Just like I had zero time for Madamme Tussaud, and now that the waxy clones of Harry and Meghan have been separated from the rest of the inanimate the royal family I am utterly gutted I never got to see them together. Royals aside, even when I moved to Sydney – hands down one of the most beautiful places to admire from the heights of a double-decker bus – I had no interest in joining the ride. I guess I was way too busy running away from spiders, avoiding snakes and refusing to get into the ocean because of sharks?
So, of course, I had no intention to use those services during our round the world trip. I wasn't going to all these new destinations to jump on a bus and bypass 'the real' experience.
How could you try Bangkok's delicious street food from the top of a double-decker? Would Turkish coffee taste the same inside of a bus in Istanbul? And would Warsaw's Palace of Culture look as impressive through a plate glass window?
Guess what? While I would not recommend drinking a scorching beverage during a bumpy bus ride, I soon found out that Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus was fantastic for pretty much everything else. Yet, I had to go all the way to Cape Town to realise that.
There we were, in this stunning location too big to tackle on foot – and not exactly accessible on public transport either. After venturing on a massive walk on our first day in the Mother City, we made a controversial decision: not willing to spend too much money on Ubers, cabs or car rental, we had no choice other than to go with a Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus.
I was in full mourning over the authentic South African spirit we were clearly not going to experience now that we chose this globalised, homogenous and un-authentic mode of transport. And even as a die-hard public transport fan, buses were never my thing. I have always been a train kind of girl. And so I didn't expect much from an ordinary bus ride filled with a bunch of travellers who didn't know any better, ourselves included.
But what a joyful experience it was. Convenient, informative, mind-expanding and fun.
A very affordable ticket got us all-day access to the tour. The journey had four different routes around the bustling metropolis, with a bus stopping at evenly distributed stops every 15 to 20 minutes. Onboard, we got two sets of headphones, and as we marvelled at the city and broader Cape Town area, we listened to immersive and fascinating facts and stories about the region.
Stops covered not only the most central part of the city – with the Table Mountain cable car being one of the leading destinations. The route takes you all around the beaches, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Constantia wine region, Imizamo Yethu Township and Haut Bay. It makes broader Cape Town's diverse arena incredibly accessible.
We had a lovely time learning about the area from atop of the double-decker. And it was so freeing to give a boot to the inner snob and fully embrace the touristy character of the ride.
Wrapped in a colourful kikoy, with a sun hat planted on top of my head, I clutched a printed out city map as I pointed at things we cruised past with enthusiasm. Needless to say, all the photos I took during the trip feature either the back of somebody's head or the railing of the bus.
I never even went up Table Mountain because I liked the new tourist bus perspective so much. Let that one sink in. I still find it pretty shocking myself.
Of course, nobody should ever skip a trip up Table Mountain during their time in the Cape. Still, everyone should add the Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus experience to their next trip itinerary. And with the Capetonian winds reaching speeds of up to 120 kilometres an hour, you might want to grab one of the stunning kikoys to stay warm on the open roof top-deck.
