California Prison Beauty School Helps Inmates Prepare For Careers
by Krissie Mick
– on Sep 28, 2018
At a male prison facility in central California, the most popular job-training program is surprising - an extensive beauty school course that offers a license for real-world opportunities to those who pass.
In 2013, Valley State Prison of Chowchilla, California transformed from a women's' prison facility to an all-male prison. Among the issues of the transition was the question of what to do with the former woman prison's cosmetology program. All of the wigs for styling practice, blowdryers, supplies for manicures, facials, perms, and more remained stocked in the supply closet, waiting to be shipped to another female correctional facility. Also waiting to hear her future was Carmen Shehorn, the prison's passionate cosmetology professor.
Valley State Prison administrators decided that they would keep the program going and see if any of the male inmates would want to enroll in the vocational program. If there was enough interest, they would keep the program open. It turned out to be a wise decision as today, there is a waiting list for the prison's most popular job-training program.

Today, "Style Hero" Carmen Shehorn dutifully teaches the male inmates all of the skills that are required to obtain a cosmetology license outside of prison. Shehorn instructs how to cut and perm both men and women's hair, perform facials, apply eyelash extensions, gel manicures, and more via traditional classroom instruction and hands-on experience using fellow inmate students and even prison staff members as practice clients.
"A lot of the guys in here are going to go home," Shehorn told TODAY Style. "They're going to be your neighbors. They're going to be working at places and we need to give them the skills and ability to work, and the chance to work. Otherwise, they will fall back into what they were doing before and what got them in trouble."
The cosmetology program is accredited by California's Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and takes about two and a half years to complete. Juan Brizuela is one of Sherhorn's success stories. Brizuela has served 22 years for second-degree murder, a crime that was committed when he was a teen. Released from prison on parole last year at the age of 37, Brizuela now gives haircuts while rubbing elbows with the rich and famous at a celebrity hair salon in Pasadena, California.
"Juan was one of the first students to get his license," Shehorn said. "He was very quiet, very reserved when he first came to class. By the time he did end up leaving here, he was one of my (teacher assistants). He was very helpful."
"I've had some hard times but I've also had some good times," he told TODAY. "I'm surrounded by a lot of positive people in my life who support me, in and out of the salon."

HÀ NỘI — A popular music and arts festival planned for this weekend was cancelled at the last minute.
The organisers of Quest Festival 2018 arrived at the venue at the Việt Nam National Villages for Ethnic Culture and Tourism Village only to be met by officials who refused them entry Friday morning.
Thousands of fans travelled to the Việt Nam National Villages for Ethnic Culture and Tourism, 40km west of Hà Nội, only to find a cancellation notice posted at the village gate.
The festival was due to open at 12pm and the cancellation was announced on the festival's at 7.46pm.
"The 1200 creatives, organizers and believers behind Quest are so disappointed to not be able to share this magic with you. For the moment our priority is to make sure our team and all Questers are home safe and sound. As such we have offered free transport back to Hanoi for all people stranded at the gates of the Cultural Village. We will provide a full statement shortly. Our love and deepest gratitude for your faith and support."
Fans took to the Quest Facebook page throughout the day to ask for information, with some showing support for the organisers and others expressing disappointment.
In July, Quest Festival received a license to run for the sixth time at Sơn Tinh Camp inside the village. The original license allowed Quest festival should last from midday November 23 until 8pm November 25.
On September 16, seven youths died after reportedly consuming illicit drugs at the city's West Lake Journey to the Moon Festival, an unrelated event, which prompted the city to temporarily ban all music festivals.
On September 19, Director of Hà Nội City's Department of Culture and Sport Tô Văn Động sent a letter to Việt Úc Event Ltd. Company, the organisers of Quest, ordering the compant to halt all preparation activities for this year's festival.
According to Tuổi Trẻ (Youth) Online, Jeremy Wellard, the festival founder, was very shocked by the decision to stop fans and artists outside the village.
Nguyễn Thị Thanh Ngân, Deputy Chief of the Village Management Board, told Tuổi Trẻ Online that she had been working with local police to stop the festival from proceeding.
Festival organisers said they had sold 3,000 tickets, with latest online three-day tickets costing VNĐ1,900,000 (USD$81). More than 1,200 artists and festival goers were on their way or at the site but had to turn around.
Having noticed that the organisers kept on preparing for the festival, on November 15, Acting Chief of the Village Management Board Lê Quang Anh sent a letter to the Feather Anh and Em Ltd. Company, a contractor with the village for renting out Sơn Tinh Camp for this event, reiterating that they should halt preparations.
In a letter dated November 20, Director of Hà Nội City's Department of Culture and Sport Tô Văn Động wrote to Chairman of Hà Nội People's Committee Nguyễn Đức Chung, asking that Quest Festival be allowed to go ahead, after the department received an appeal dated November 18 from Quest organisers.
On November 21, the organisers sent letters to both the Ministry for Culture, Sports and Tourism and the village management board asking for permission to hold the festival, ensuring them all necessary safety measures were in place, including medical facilities and procedures to prevent illicit drug use.
The next day on November 22, the village management board issued yet another letter to Việt Úc Event Ltd. Company prohibiting Quest from taking place.

MIT Innovation Lab has identified over 1,600 real estate technology start-ups and most firms are less than 48 months old. Venture capital funding for CRE technology reached $1.8 billion in 2016. These firms are revolutionizing deal-making, providing cost savings, increasing productivity and speeding up decision making by all stakeholders.
What is driving this explosion of commercial real estate technology? The larger digital revolution itself, happening all around us, has hit the CRE industry in very significant ways. According to experts, one primary driver is Moore's Law. Moore's Law states, the number of transistors in an integrated circuit, doubles every 18 to 24 months. This ever-increasing amount of computing power is not only changing the business landscape but our entire world. The speed of the growth of our digital universe was well illustrated in IBM's 10 Key Marketing Trends for 2017, revealing that 90% of all data in the world is less than 2 years old. This rate of advancement has not been seen before.
The residential sector has outpaced the commercial sector when it comes to new technology, but the commercial side has many elegant new platforms. The concentration of new companies is not limited to the United States. Investors have bet big on global technology solutions with prime markets around the world. South America, Asia, and Europe have seen new digital platforms to make searching, managing and investing in real estate, transparent and close to instantaneous.
Where CRE technology is headed is hard to tell however there are trends that are sure to launch new technology. The 2 most intriguing factors are big data and the internet of things (IoT) but there are others. Driverless cars, affordable housing for an aging population, the shift in the retail industry, and many other factors promise even more changes to CRE technology.
The days of the CRE generalist are numbered as tech-centered Millennials see opportunities and investment capital is infused into real estate technology. Niche CRE experts will grow in number creating more opportunity but leaving non-tech professionals behind. We have already seen exponential growth in many new CRE technology platforms with no end in sight. Mergers of technology companies and acquisitions of tech companies by national and international CRE players, take place on a regular basis now.
Seasoned CRE professionals stay up to date with technology sources such as Michael Beckerman, Linda Day Harrison, and the ever salty Duke Long(CRE's bad boy). The cost of not staying up to date is just too high in this rapidly changing landscape.
I'd be interested in who you are watching when it comes to changing CRE technology, please leave a comment on who you are watching and follow me at JanitorJack.
The following provides an overview of some of the most heralded new platforms.


Two research groups from the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG-CRG) of the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) with expertise in genome sequencing technologies and single-cell genomics led by Ivo Gut and Holger Heyn, and two research groups from the Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi I Sunyer (IDIBAPS) with expertise in cell biology, pathology and clinic led by Elias Campo and Iñaki Martin-Subero, have been awarded with an 8,3 M€ grant in this call. These researchers will develop the [email protected] project, which aims at resolving the genomic and epigenomic hallmarks of chronic lymphocytic leukemia using single-cell analysis.
"We will be able to disentangle chronic lymphocytic leukemia with far greater resolution than ever before and generate comprehensive information from thousands of individual cells. This will undoubtedly lead to novel insights into the origin and evolution of cancer," says Ivo Gut, director of the CNAG-CRG. "Our groups have been working together on chronic lymphocytic leukemia since 2009. We have come a long way in our understanding of the genomic features of this disease. Now, the ERC Synergy grant will allow us to take another huge step forward in the understanding of chronic lymphocytic leukemia development and progression by comprehensively studying it at single-cell resolution," he concludes.
The [email protected] project is one of the three awarded projects in Spain in this call the only one in Catalonia. It is one of the 27 granted projects throughout Europe, among the 295 submitted proposals with a 9% success rate.
Over the last years, the groups collaborating in this project have already characterized the molecular features of normal B-cell subpopulations and of pools of leukemic cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. "Our previous work has revealed that there is an ecosystem of cancer cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and now we need to characterize this diversity of cancer cells" explains Elias Campo, director of the IDIBAPS. These cancer cell subtypes are related to different B-cell maturation stages, and every single cell can be relevant to predict the evolution and outcome of the disease in every patient. "Variation between B-cells is dynamically modulated during the course of the disease, and it has deep implications in its biology, clinical aggressiveness and treatment responses," adds Iñaki Martín-Subero, group leader at IDIBAPS.
The [email protected] researchers will apply cutting-edge single-cell methodologies to comprehensively dissect the maturation and differentiation of B-cells, and their transformation to chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The [email protected] project joins four groups with complementary expertise in B-cell biology, clinical aspects and pathology, genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, sequencing technologies, single-cell profiling and computational biology, to decipher the genesis and molecular anatomy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia during the entire course of the disease. "We will generate genetic, transcriptional and epigenetic maps of hundred-thousands of single cells across locations, time points and individuals. New technologies in single-cell genomics will provide this individual information that we are now missing in order to better predict the course of the disease as well as to better target treatment," explains Holger Heyn, team leader at CNAG-CRG.


People with the surname "Sato" are unexpectedly dying across Japan. Student Tsubasa Sato is transported suddenly to a parallel world where "Satos" are being chased by masked figures by order of a malevolent king. When caught they are killed, their deaths correlating with a death in the first world. Ai Sato, Tsubasa's comatose sister, and his alcoholic father are represented by doppelgangers in this new world, where they must run while Tsubasa attempts to discover the reason for the King's contempt of that family name.
The film is low budget, and many of the special effects are noticeably so, however the design of the masks is original and the direction competent. While the story is weak, veering away from the source material excessively, there are a number of jump scares and creepy instances making it a decent action film. It feels, for the most part, like a cross between "The Twilight Zone" and "Doctor Who", with the concept perhaps stretched at feature length. The acting is of varying quality, but passable for the most part as the story is largely action- rather than emotionally driven.
The film hints at ideas of duality and totalitarianism without making any definitive or stunningly revelatory point. Concepts such as the parallel worlds were interesting, though a number of plot-holes were occasionally distracting. A wasted concept, but shallow fun nonetheless.
Based on a novel by Yusuke Yamada.

In planning to address this group, I have considered and discarded several possible topics. I was tempted to describe the process of non-directive therapy and the counselor techniques and procedures which seem most useful in bringing about this process. But much of this material is now in writing. My own book on counseling and psychotherapy contains much of the basic material, and my recent more popular book on counseling with returning servicemen tends to supplement it. The philosophy of the client-centered approach and its application to work with children is persuasively presented by Allen. The application to counseling of industrial employees is discussed in the volume by Cantor. Curran has now published in book form one of the several research studies which are throwing new light on both process and procedure. Axline is publishing a book on play and group therapy. Snyder is bringing out a book of cases. So it seems unnecessary to come a long distance to summarize material which is, or soon ·n-ill be. obtainable in written form.
Another tempting possibility, particularly in this setting, was to discuss some of the roots from which the client-centered approach has sprung. It would have been interesting to show how in its concepts of repression and release, in its stress upon catharsis and insight, it has many roots in Freudian thinking, and to acknowledge that indebtedness. Such an analysis could also have shown that in its concept of the individual's ability to organize his own experience there is an even deeper indebtedness to the work of Rank, Taft, and Allen. In its stress upon objective research, the subjecting of fluid attitudes to scientific investigation, the willingness to submit all hypotheses to a verification or disproof by research methods, the debt is obviously to the whole field of American psychology, with its genius for scientific methodology. It could also have been pointed out that although everyone in the clinical field has been heavily exposed to the eclectic "team" approach to therapy of the child guidance movement, and the somewhat similar eclecticism of the Adolf Meyers -- Hopkins school of thought, these eclectic viewpoint have perhaps not been so fruitful in therapy and that little from these sources has been retained in the non-directive approach. It might also have been pointed out that in its basic trend away from guiding and directing the client. the non-directive approach is deeply rooted in practical clinical experience, and is in accord with the experience of most clinical workers, so much so that one of the commonest reactions of experienced therapists is that "You have crystallized and put into words something that I have been groping toward in my own experience for a long time."
(1) If the counselor operates on the principle that the individual is basically responsible for himself, and is willing for the individual to keep that responsibility.
(2) If the counselor operates on the principle that the client has a strong drive to become mature, socially adjusted. independent, productive, and relies on this force, not on his own powers, for therapeutic change.
(3) If the counselor creates a warm and permissive atmosphere in which the individual is free to bring out any attitudes and feelings which he may have, no matter how unconventional, absurd, or contradictory these attitudes may be. The client is as free to withhold expression as he is to give expression to his feelings.
(5) If the therapist uses only those procedures and techniques in the interview which convey his deep understanding of the emotionalized attitudes expressed and his acceptance of them. This under standing is perhaps best conveyed by a sensitive reflection and clarification of the client's attitudes. The counselor's acceptance involves neither approval nor disapproval.
(6) If the counselor refrains from any expression or action which is contrary to the preceding principles. This means reframing from questioning, probing, blame, interpretation, advice, suggestion, persuasion, reassurance.
(1) The client will express deep and motivating attitudes.
(2) The client will explore his own attitudes and reactions more fully than he has previously done and will come to be aware of aspects of his attitudes which he has previously denied.
(3) He will arrive at a clearer conscious realization of his motivating attitudes and will accept himself more completely. This realization and this acceptance will include attitudes previously denied. He may or may not verbalize this clearer conscious understanding of himself and his behavior.
(4) In the light of his clearer perception of himself he will choose, on his own initiative and on his own [p. 417] responsibility, new goal which are more satisfying than his maladjusted goals.
(5) He will choose to behave in a different fashion in order to reach these goals, and this new behavior will be in the direction of greater psychological growth and maturity. It will also be more spontaneous and less tense, more in harmony with social needs of others, will represent a more realistic and more comfortable adjustment to life. It will be more integrated than his former behavior. It will be a step forward in the life of the individual.
Naturally the question is raised, what is the reason for this predictability in a type of therapeutic procedure in which the therapist serves only a catalytic function? Basically the reason for the predictability [p. 418] of the therapeutic process lies in the discovery -- and I use that word intentionally -- that within the client reside constructive forces whose strength and uniformity have been either entirely unrecognized or grossly underestimated. It is the clearcut and disciplined reliance by the therapist upon those forces within the client, which seems to account for the orderliness of the therapeutic process, and its consistency from one client to the next.
This is very evident in the latest book on psychoanalysis by Alexander and French. Although many of the former views and practices of psychoanalysis are discarded, and the procedures are far more nearly in line with those of nondirective therapy, it is still the therapist who is definitely in control. He gives the insights. he is ready to guide at crucial points. Thus while the authors state that the aim of the therapist is to free the patient to develop his capacities, and to increase his ability to satisfy his needs in ways acceptable to himself and society; and while they speak of the basic conflict between competition and cooperation as one which the individual must settle for himself; and speak of the integration of new insight as a normal function of the ego, it is clear when they speak of procedures that they have no confidence that the client has the capacity to do any of these things. For in practice, "As soon as the therapist takes the more active role we advocate, systematic planning becomes imperative. In addition to the original decision as to the particular sort of strategy to be employed in the treatment of any case, we recommend the conscious use of various techniques in a flexible manner, shifting tactics to fit the particular needs of the moment. Among these modifications of the standard technique are; using not only the method of free association but interviews of a more direct character, manipulating the frequency of the interviews, giving [p. 419] directives to the patient concerning his daily life, employing interruptions of long or short duration in preparation for ending the treatment, regulating the transference relation-hip to meet the specific needs of the case, and making use of real-life experiences as an integral part of therapy" (1). At least this leaves no doubt as to whether it is the client's or the therapist's hour; it is clearly the latter. The capacities which the client is to develop are clearly not to be developed in the therapeutic sessions.
"Because the client-centered, nondirective counseling approach has been rather carefully defined and clearly illustrated, it gives the "Illusion of Simplicity.'' The technique seems deceptively easy to master. Then you begin to practice. A word is wrong here and there. You don't quite reflect feeling, but reflect content instead. It is difficult to handle questions; you are tempted to interpret. Nothing seems so serious that further practice won't correct it. Perhaps you are having trouble playing two roles -- that of minister and that of counselor. Bring up the question in class and the matter is solved again with a deceptive ease. But these apparently minor errors and a certain woodenness of response seem exceedingly persistent.
"Only gradually does it dawn that if the technique is true it demands a feeling of warmth. You begin to feel that the attitude is the thing. Every little word is not so important if you have the correct accepting and permissive attitude toward the client. So you bear down on the permissiveness and acceptance. You will permiss[sic] and accept and reflect the client, if it kills you!
[§]'But you still have those troublesome questions from the client. He simply doesn't know the next step. He asks you to give him a hint, some possibilities, after all you are expected to know something, else why is he here! As a minister, you ought to have some convictions about what people should believe, how they should act. As a counselor, you should know something about removing this obstacle -- you ought to have the equivalent of the surgeon's knife and use it. Then you begin to wonder. The technique is good, but ... does it go far enough! does it really work on clients? is it right to leave a person helpless, when you might show him the way out?
"Here it secms to me is the crucial point. "Narrow is the gate" and hard the path from here on. So one else can give satisfying answers and even the instructors seem frustrating because they appear not to be helpful in your specific case. For here is demanded of you what no other person can do or point out -- and that is to rigorously scrutinize yourself and your attitudes towards others. Do you believe that all people truly have a creative potential in them? That each person is a unique individual and that he alone can work out his own individuality? Or do you really believe that some persons are of "negative value" and others are weak and must be led and taught by "wiser," "stronger" people.
As time has gone by we have come to put increasing stress upon the "client-centeredness" of the relationship, because it is more effective the more completely the counselor concentrates upon trying to understand the client as the client seems to himself. As I look back upon some of our earlier published cases -- the case of Herbert Bryan in my book, or Snyder's case of Mr. M. -- I realize that we have gradually dropped the vestiges of subtle directiveness which are all too evident in those cases. We [p. 421] have come to recognize that if we can provide understanding of the way the client seems to himself at this moment, he can do the rest. The therapist must lay aside his preoccupation with diagnosis and his diagnostic shrewdness, must discard his tendency to make professional evaluations, must cease his endeavors to formulate an accurate prognosis, must give up the temptation subtly to guide the individual, and must concentrate on one purpose only; that of providing deep understanding and acceptance of the attitudes consciously held at this moment by the client as he explores step by step into the dangerous areas which he has been denying to consciousness.
This approach has also, we believe, deep implications for the handling of social and group conflicts, as I have pointed out in another paper (9). Our work in applying a client-centered viewpoint to group therapy situations, while still in its early stages, leads us to feel that a significant clue to the constructive solution of interpersonal and intercultural frictions in the group may be in our hands. Application of these procedures to staff groups, to inter-racial groups, to groups with personal problems and tensions, is under way.
As we examine and try to evaluate our clinical experience with client-centered therapy, the [p. 422] phenomenon of the reorganization of attitudes and the redirection of behavior by the individual assumes greater and greater importance. This phenomenon seems to find inadequate explanation in terms of the determinism which is the predominant philosophical background of most psychological work. The capacity of the individual to reorganize his attitudes and behavior in ways not determined by external factors nor by previous elements in his own experience, but determined by his own insight into those factors, is an impressive capacity. It involves a basic spontaneity which we have been loathe to admit into our scientific thinking.
The clinical experience could be summarized by saying that the behavior of the human organism may be determined by the influences to which it has been exposed, but it may also be determined by the creative and integrative insight of the organism itself. This ability of the person to discover new meaning in the forces which impinge upon him and in the past experiences which have been controlling him, and the ability to alter consciously his behavior in the light of this new meaning, has a profound significance for our thinking which has not been fully realized. We need to revise the philosophical basis of our work to a point where it can admit that forces exist within the individual which can exercise a spontaneous and significant influence upon behavior which is not predictable through knowledge of prior influences and conditionings. The forces released through a catalytic process of therapy are not adequately accounted for by a knowledge of the individual's previous conditionings, but only if we grant the presence of a spontaneous force within the organism which has the capacity of integration and redirection. This capacity for volitional control is a force which we must take into account in any psychological equation (9).
I hope that throughout this paper I have managed to convey what is my own conviction, that what we now know or think we know about a client-centered approach is only a beginning, only the opening of a door beyond which we are beginning to see some very challenging roads, some fields rich with opportunity. It is the facts of our clinical and research experience which keep pointing forward into new and exciting possibilities. Yet whatever the future may hold, it appears already clear that we are dealing with materials of a new and significant nature, which demand the most openminded[sic] and thorough exploration. If our present formulations of those facts are correct, then we would say that some important elements already stand out; that certain basic attitudes and skills can create a psychological atmosphere which releases, frees, and utilizes deep strengths in the client; that these strengths and capacities are more sensitive and more rugged than hitherto supposed; and that they are released in an orderly and predictable process which may prove as significant a basic fact in social science as some of the laws and predictable processes in the physical sciences.

In Arizona, Sen. John McCain's family cries over flag-draped casket
Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, lays her head on his casket during a memorial service at the Arizona Capitol on Wednesday.

Reporting from Phoenix —
Cindy McCain pressed her face against the flag-draped casket of her husband, U.S. Sen. John McCain, on Wednesday and several of his children sobbed during the first of two services for the statesman and former prisoner of war before he is taken for the last time from the state he has represented since the 1980s.
The private service at the Arizona Capitol marked the first appearance of McCain's family members since the senator died Saturday of brain cancer.
During the service, Gov. Doug Ducey remembered McCain as a senator and internationally known figure as well as a major figure in the history of Arizona.
While Barry Goldwater was an Arizona native, McCain was "Arizona's favorite adopted son," the governor said on what would have been the 82nd birthday of McCain, who was born in the Panama Canal zone while his father served in the military.
"Imagining an Arizona without John McCain is like picturing Arizona without the Grand Canyon," Ducey said.
Former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl said he has been with McCain all around the world and that he had better instincts on when to assert U.S. power than anyone else he knew.
Kyl said he would miss McCain, whose greatest contribution was national security.
Sen. Jeff Flake offered the benediction at the service.
Later in the afternoon, the Capitol will be open to the public to pay its respects.

Members of the public line up to pay their respects to Sen. John McCain as he lies in state in the rotunda of the Arizona Capitol in Phoenix on Wednesday.
Arizona National Guard members carried the casket into the Arizona State Capitol Museum rotunda, where McCain will lie in state. Black curtains hung in the rotunda. U.S. and Arizona flags encircled the room.
By the time the service ended and the rotunda was cleared, at least 100 people had already gathered outside to wait for the public viewing.
They took shelters from the hot sun under tents erected by security teams while volunteers filled coolers with ice and water bottles.
Chasity Pullin, whose husband and father are both veterans, was among those in line. She said she liked how McCain didn't act like he was above others, and praised all he did for veterans.
"It feels like you're losing part of your family, as much as he did," she said
Kassandra Morales, 44, stood with her sons, 8 and 2 years old. The single mom and Democrat brought a bouquet of flowers and said she had always looked up to McCain.
"Yesterday I asked my son who his hero was. He gave me a rapper's name," Morales said. "I brought my children here to show them what a real hero was."
Veteran Judith Hatch handed out flags to those assembled, saying Arizona lost a champion for the military.
"We definitely have lost a strong advocate, so we'll need someone who is going to step up to the plate," Hatch said.
The viewing later in the day will go on as long as people are waiting in line, said Rick Davis, McCain's former presidential campaign manager.
For some Arizona residents, McCain has been a political fixture in the state for their entire lives. He took office in the state in the early 1980s, first as a congressman and then as a senator in the seat once held by Goldwater.
Thursday morning will feature a procession through Phoenix on the way to a memorial service at North Phoenix Baptist Church, with the public invited to line the route along Interstate 17.
The memorial service will include tributes, readings and musical performances, including a tribute from former Vice President Joe Biden. Musical choices include a recessional to "My Way" by Frank Sinatra.
From there, McCain will depart Arizona from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Another viewing will be at the U.S. Capitol on Friday, with a final memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral.

'Mother's Day' Trailer: Garry Marshall Turns Another Holiday Into a Star-Studded Ensemble Comedy
Posted on Thursday, February 11th, 2016 by Angie Han
Apparently at some point in the past decade, Garry Marshall decided he could not rest until he'd turned every major holiday into a middling ensemble romcom. Having already put out Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve, he's now turned his attention to Mother's Day. This one stars Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, and Jason Sudeikis as a loosely interconnected group of people with all kinds of mommy issues. Watch the first Mother's Day trailer after the jump.
Yahoo dropped the new Mother's Day trailer.
The gadgets and costumes confirm that Mother's Day definitely takes place in the present. But its trailer feels very much like a throwback to the '90 or '00s. There's an "in a world…" style voiceover, a cast led by romcom queens of days past, and a very stale joke about a dad embarrassed to buy tampons for his teenage daughter. Even the general vibe feels more '90s than '10s. It's gentle and upbeat, in contrast to the raunchier-the-better comedies filling up the multiplexes today.
Mother's Day also stars Britt Robertson, Sarah Chalke, Shay Mitchell, Jon Lovitz, Aasif Mandvi Timothy Olyphant, and Margo Martindale (which, yup, makes this a Justified reunion). It opens April 29 — which if you're trying to make plans with your own mother, is actually the weekend before Mother's Day (May 8). Because even on Mother's Day, Mother's Day knows it wouldn't stand a chance against Captain America: Civil War.
"Mother's Day" is the latest star studded ensemble comedy from director Garry Marshall ("Pretty Woman," "Valentine's Day"). Bringing together Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts along with Jason Sudeikis, it's a celebration of mothers everywhere. This big-hearted comedy invites us all to enjoy the laughter, tears and love as three generations come together in the week leading up to Mother's Day.

A high-ranking leader of the Traveling Vice Lords street gang who directed a violent west side drug-trafficking conspiracy was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison after a judge ruled that he "very likely" murdered an off-duty Chicago police detective and a woman in August 2008.
"Your drug trafficking activities were a scourge on your community," Judge Lefkow said.
The judge also ruled that the government met its burden in proving by a preponderance of evidence that it was "very likely" that Austin committed the murders of Det. Robert Soto and Kathryn Romberg on Aug. 13, 2008, and then subsequently attempted to obstruct the murder investigation. The victims were shot as they sat in a parked car in the 3000 block of West Franklin, about three blocks east Kedzie and one block south of Ohio. During a sentencing hearing that began last month, the government presented evidence that Austin shot and killed the pair after mistaking them from for a rival drug dealer and the drug dealer's companion.
"We are gratified that the Court found Austin responsible for the murders of Detective Soto and Ms. Romberg. Jason Austin is a violent drug dealer, and today's 35-year sentence provides a modest measure of justice," said Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
"Jason Austin sold heroin and crack cocaine in the area of Kedzie and Ohio for years. He ran the block, had employees who worked for him, and he sold thousands of dollars of heroin a day. Austin controlled his territory through fear, violence, and threats of violence. He kept guns at the ready to stave off the competition. Austin thought of Kedzie and Ohio as his," Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maribel Fernandez-Harvath and Matthew Madden argued in seeking a significant sentence.
Austin and 30 other members and associates of the Traveling Vice Lords were arrested in November 2010 as part of Operation Blue Knight, which focused on around-the-clock retail street sales of crack cocaine and heroin in the area of Kedzie and Ohio, known as "KO." Significant amounts of crack cocaine and heroin were seized during the two-year investigation, which the Chicago Police Department's Organized Crime Division began in 2008 and the Federal Bureau of Investigation joined several months later. Overall, their efforts resulted in a total of 104 defendants being arrested on state and federal charges in this and related investigations.
The evidence at trial showed that Austin conspired with others to distribute heroin to customers via hand-to-hand transactions in the "KO." The heroin, named "Blue Magic," alone accounted for as much as $8,000 a day in sales, between approximately 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., seven days a week. During the investigation, law enforcement officers repeatedly observed the conduct of co-conspirators at KO. Surveillance, often video recorded, documented hand-to-hand drug transactions, controlled purchases of narcotics by undercover Chicago police officers, and controlled purchases of narcotics by confidential sources.

Creating a sense of luxury is all about the details. In this setting, a panelled wall, plush velvet sofa and brass or gold elements come together to evoke a feeling of classical elegance. In contrast, keep the festive pieces simple and understated.
Sometimes it's the simplest things that make the most impact. In place of a tree, hang three glittery stars against a cool, white backdrop to create a subtle, festive feel. The sparkle of the stars sits well alongside the brass items, artwork and the star on the coffee table, and makes the room work as a whole.
To allow the glittering elements to take centre stage, keep the presents simple yet chic with glossy black paper, gold cord and luxe gift tags.

Websites have become the key instruments of disseminating information in the modern world. Websites must therefore be very appealing. The attractiveness applies squarely to pest control websites. For the website to be effective it must meet the demands for which it has been created. In most instances, a website has the sole purpose of relaying information to the intended recipients.
Several tips can be followed by web designers to create a good pest control website. The first thing is to focus the website to the end user. In this case the end user is the person who will access the website in order to read its contents. Make very concise menus for your website. To make this possible, reason from the perspective of the end user and how they wish to navigate the website. Try to also design a website that loads very fast. For most people, waiting for long for a website to load leads them to leave it.
The second thing that you must bear in mind is the content that you post on the website. Original content that is thoughtful can keep a person visiting the site severally. Do also ensure that there is a correlation between the information to be relayed and the content. Traffic could be well increased with proper content that relates to the end user. To be relevant, ensure that your paragraphs are not too long, make them simple and having links as well as having a fixed plan for posting of content.
You must also factor in customer reviews when creating a pest control website. Many people seek to establish what previous customers to a company had to say about a website before actually contacting the company. Let the reviews be posted directly to the website without going through middle men. The reviews actually serve to market your company and products effectively.
Websites that have images are usually more attractive. In this case integrate both images and text in the pest control website that you design. The application of this can be traced to bloggers on best mosquito misting system. This person would find it worthwhile to have images of the systems within the blog. Ensure that each image posted is quite relevant to the information you intend to reach your target population. You can also have images of staff members and company buildings to create connection with customers.
Lastly, optimize your landing page. This is simple but can be problematic. Remember that the final desired result from the website is the increase of business for the company. Optimization can be achieved in several ways. Some of them include: Having good menu systems, displaying company contacts on the website, creating appropriate links and posting of reviews.

Golden Eagle? Khabib Nurmagomedov among nominees for the BBC's prestigious World Sport Star 2020 Award
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov may be about to add another trophy to his collection after the undefeated Dagestan native was included in the six person shortlist for the BBC's annual World Sport Star 2020 Award.
Less than two months since his title defence against Justin Gaethje in Abu Dhabi in late October – and his subsequent retirement announcement – Nurmagomedov's record-breaking accomplishments in the UFC cage have been recognized by the British broadcaster.
Khabib makes up one-sixth of the list alongside international stars like LeBron James, golf superstar Dustin Johnson and Irish boxing sensation Katie Taylor.
Writing of Nurmagomedov's impact on the sporting world this year, the BBC noted: "The UFC lightweight champion extended his perfect professional record to 29 wins with an emotional victory over interim champion Justin Gaethje. The Russian, considered by some to be the greatest MMA fighter of all time, fought just months after the death of his father, …read more

MURFREESBORO – Siegel's Greedy Howse tore his ACL in his knee in October of his freshman year.
Now, nearly two full years later, the junior is ready to play a key role for the Stars in 2014.
"It's been a struggle," Howse said about coming back from the injury. "I've been pushing myself trying to get better all spring and summer to get back to 100 percent.
"I'm happy with how far I've come. I'm about 95 percent (healthy). I'll be 100 percent when the season starts."
Howse will start for Siegel as a free safety on defense. He'll also get plenty of carries on offense as a running back according to head coach Greg Wyant.
"He had a great spring," Wyant said. "Everything really started to click for him in the spring. He continued that this summer and so far in fall camp.
"He might be behind Andre Knox (at running back), but he's really even with him. They are one and one-A."
Added Howse: "(Knox) is sort of like the power guy and I'm sort of the change of pace guy. I think we work really well together in our offense. Our coaches do a good job of putting all of us in position to succeed."
During Friday's situational scrimmage against Montgomery Bell Academy, Howse wasted little time in showcasing exactly why Wyant said he'll get the ball a lot this fall.
The 5-foot-10 ball carrier, who wears a knee brace on his surgically-repaired knee, scored a touchdown on a shifty, 10-yard run on the first play of Siegel's second offensive possession.
Howse juked right, then made a hard cut into the hole before accelerating through the defense for the TD, showing those in attendance his knee was ready to go.
"Endzone, that's all I was thinking about," Howse said about the play. "I saw a hole and just wanted to hit it up in there as hard as I could."
Howse played only sparingly as a sophomore in 2013 as he returned from the knee injury. He was a backup to District 7-AAA MVP Denzel Harding, who has now graduated and is the school's all-time leading rusher, and Knox.
The 162-pound back finished his sophomore campaign with four rushing touchdowns on just 19 carries, most of which came in mop-up duty behind Harding and Knox. He totaled 149 rushing yards on the season for a 7.8 yards per rush average.
"Getting to play behind Denzel, I learned a lot," Howse of playing behind the former Mr. Football finalist. "He was a really good player to learn from. Getting to watch how he went about his business was big for me."
While he'll contribute on offense for Siegel, his play on the defensive side of the ball might be more important for the Stars' success as a team in 2014.
He will be one of three new starters in the secondary on a defense that allowed almost 27 points and more than 350 yards per game last season.
"I try to be physical," Howse about his defensive play. "It's a mindset. We have to have the mindset that we're going to stop the other team no matter what."

Hydro scheme developers say plan for Loch Ness will kick-start local economy
By Scott Maclennan
- scott.maclennan@hnmedia.co.uk
Published: 17:30, 21 May 2020
The hydro scheme would be created at Dores. .
Pressure is mounting to stage a planning inquiry into a green energy scheme at Loch Ness which could help the Highland economy recover from the Covid-19 crisis.
The scheme has been rejected twice by councillors – flying in the face of recommendations by its own officers.
But supporters claim it will inject £400 million into the local economy, create jobs and provide a lifeline for cash-strapped Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club – all at a time when the region will need it more than ever.
The Red John pumped storage hydro scheme, planned for a site near Dores, was the subject of an online meeting on Tuesday between the developers, Highland Council and the Scottish Reporter, who will hold the inquiry.
The developers of the £625 million scheme, Intelligent Land Investments (ILI), are now confident the inquiry will take place as early as August and that they will get the green light.
If Red John goes ahead it could free up £400 million of much-needed post-lockdown investment directly into the region and would see Caley Thistle reap rewards as it would lease ground for a huge park and ride scheme for construction workers.
More generally, it would also create hundreds of jobs and provide a major boost to the local area, with ILI's CEO Mark Wilson saying: "Be under no illusion – we are building this.
ILI CEO Mark Wilson.
"The only thing that is a bit of an unknown is how the lockdown restrictions are going to be loosened and how they are going to affect how people could go on site to view the project.
"We are going for the earliest date possible and the council are being very helpful with that. One of the things we were very pleased to see was it all felt very positive, like we were all working to an end goal.
"It is going to bring 400 jobs when tourism is going to be right down, it is going to bring £400 million into the local area so it is going to give the area a big injection, which is exactly what we are going to need after we get through this.
"On the Caley Thistle park and ride, we are very proud of that. If everyone can work towards getting moving as soon as possible it is going to play a big part with the football club."
Regional MSP David Stewart and chairman of the Inverness Caley Thistle Trust, the largest shareholder at the club, agreed.
MSP David Stewart.
"I think this would be a win, win," he said. "I think it is vitally important for all clubs, particularly the one that I support, to have diversification away from just football crowd income that is now not available.
"It is very important to get another source of income which would help the club improve the player pool of the club and help its financial sustainability.
"So I think this stands to be really good news, a big boost to the football club and hopefully it will provide a real chance to get into the Premiership in the following season as football returns."
Fellow Highland MSP John Finnie said: "While I can't comment on any individual scheme, there is no doubt we need innovation in terms of technology and the approach to the economy as we emerge out of lockdown.
MSP John Finnie.
"Scottish football is in crisis and that crisis is predicated on the fact that there is no guarantee of continual income and there is no doubt that were this scheme to get the go-ahead, then the treasurer at Inverness Caledonian Thistle will be delighted to have some ability to plan ahead on the basis of that guaranteed income."
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, no date was set at Tuesday's meeting for the inquiry to begin. The Scottish Government is due to publish a formal review of the restrictions on May 28. Parties will consider that and look to agree a start date thereafter."
A council spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that the pre-inquiry meeting was held by the Reporter on Tuesday and there was a discussion on possible dates and whether the inquiry will be virtual or in person. A date and procedures will be confirmed by the Scottish Government in due course. The council was represented by James Findlay QC."
Mr Findlay is best known for having represented US President Donald Trump in his battle for permission for developments near Aberdeen.

Google tests out simultaneous interpretation at the front desk.
"Bonjour, je souhaiterais récupérer le clé de ma chambre, s'il vous plait." It's a simple enough sentence if you speak French. But if you don't, seemingly basic requests—such as "Hello, I would like the key to my room, please"—may be beyond your grasp. To help break through the language barrier at the front desk, Google recently began testing its Interpreter Mode in Google Assistant on Google Home devices and Smart Displays at select hotels, including Caesars Palace, in Las Vegas, and Dream Downtown, in New York City.
The voice-activated system can translate among 26 languages, from French to Hindi to Mandarin, and provides both written and spoken translations. Resort managers can test out Interpreter Mode on a compatible device by telling the Google Assistant, "Hey, Google, be my French interpreter" or "Hey, Google, help me speak French."
According to a Google blog post describing the new feature, guests at Dream Downtown can use Interpreter Mode when they need to do things such as check in to their rooms or request amenities like ice or extra towels. At Caesars Palace, staff can use it to provide concierge services for non-English-speaking guests, such as booking tickets or making restaurant reservations, which can often be hampered by language difficulties.
"For the past 10 years, the hospitality business has evolved enormously, and it is now focused on the customer experience," says Tony Loeb, vice president of sales and marketing at Expérience Hôtel, a customer relationship management consultancy in Paris. "So the role of a receptionist is no longer to give keys and accept payment. They have a real role of guide and concierge at the service of the customer. They are there to understand the clients' needs and help them by advising them what to do and how to optimize their stay." With Interpreter Mode, the language barrier may be one less obstacle to excellent service.

6 million euros allocated to save animals impacted by coronavirus
Animal conservation is crucial this time - Copyright Getty via Canva
By Maeve Campbell • Updated: 05/08/2020
Two new rapid-response grants have been announced today to help protect animals affected by COVID-19.
Six million euros is being allocated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The funding is classed as emergency relief and aims to address biodiversity conservation needs brought about by coronavirus. Many animals have been put at great risk, both directly and indirectly, as a result of the pandemic, and the management of protected land areas has also been negatively impacted.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us just how vulnerable conservation initiatives are to major disruptions. The pandemic has left local communities who protect wildlife struggling to make a living, and many threatened species increasingly exposed," says Dr Bruno Oberle, IUCN Director General.
The grants, which are being funded by the European Union, are managed in partnership by IUCN, the European Commission, and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States.

Two million euros will go towards a programme called Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA), which will fund approximately 60 individual projects.
A further four million will be allocated to the IUCN Save Our Species African Wildlife Initiative to help safeguard both terrestrial and freshwater species in continental Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. These aim to protect threatened species from anticipated increases in poaching, as well as reducing the risk of disease transmission from humans to wild animals, especially great apes.
Great apes have been put at direct risk as a result of the pandemic, because they can be infected with coronavirus by humans (such as when researchers or tourists bring the virus to their habitat). But other species are also suffering indirectly.
Revenue that has been funding anti-poaching patrols and community conservancies has been abruptly cut off, leaving a vacuum of security and the potential for more poaching. Elephants, rhinos, giraffes, pangolins, primates, turtles and other marine species are all in need of better protection going forward, according to the IUCN.
"The BIOPAMA and Save our Species grants will provide critical and urgently needed support to local communities at the frontline of biodiversity conservation while guaranteeing the full respect of human rights," explains Jutta Urpilainen, European Commissioner for International Partnerships.
"The projects will increase the resilience of local communities," she continues, "the pandemic has shown the importance of wildlife conservation, which is essential to prevent the spreading of zoonotic diseases."

Listen to me! There's no such thing as a girl broom. Except for you, thank heaven, brooms are just brooms. They sweep, they pull down cobwebs, they poke something that may or may not be dead, but not one of them talks and they certainly don't fall in love!
Grisham: How DARE you humiliate me! Me! The greatest dancer in the Milky Way! And you, with all your silly little twitchy, goofy, jivy hip-hop trash! You should've left town per my suggestion, Feather-Chump.
Scarecrow: I'll be gone soon enough. Polly's buying her freedom in the morning and then we're getting married.
Grisham: You're going nowhere, pal! Do you know who I am? Take a look! LOOK AT ME!
Scarecrow: She'll never marry you.
Grisham: Wanna bet? Make me look like Feathertop.
[He puts on the magic feather on his hat and is transformed into Feathertop]
Scarecrow: No!
Grisham as Feathertop: [laughs evilly] Polly is mine! And just when she thinks her dreams have all come true, I'll take her and the little goobers [takes off the magic feather, now back to original self] straight back to the workhouse mill!
Scarecrow: I won't let you do this!
Grisham: How selfish are you? It's my big day and yet everything is you. "Don't kill me. Don't marry my girl." Give a little.
Scarecrow: You're crazy to think she won't tell the difference. She'll know it's you. Anyone can smell a rat! You hear me?
