Dharamshala, India – "The media should always be honest and fair, and remain unbiased in its news reporting," said His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on the 140th foundation anniversary of news outlet, The Tribune on February 2, 2021.

Being asked to speak on the anniversary, His Holiness firstly expressed his gratitude and talked about the sustainment of national identity. "I am glad to have this opportunity to share some of my thoughts with your readers. I am pleased to learn that the newspaper was established because its founder understood the importance of educating the Indian community and saw the role that education could play in sustaining a sense of national identity when India was under British rule," he said.
He then talked about the role of the media in these scenarios, and said that the role it plays in societal development is immensely crucial, while also giving a humorous analogy about the field of work. "I have even jokingly said on occasion that people in the media should have long noses like elephants, so that they can smell, and then expose, both the good and the bad," he stated.
His Holiness also praised the news outlet on its longevity. "The media should always be honest and fair, and remain unbiased in its news reporting. The fact that this newspaper has been in existence since 1881 is an indication that it is making a valuable contribution to society," reminded the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet.
After talking about the media and its influence, he showed his admiration towards India and said that it has continued to maintain a certain degree of democratic stability since its Independence. He then also shared his thoughts on what the country as a whole could focus on in the future, and shed light on the revival of ancient Indian wisdom.
"It is wonderful that the country, despite many challenges, is growing at a rapid rate. There is, however, one area in which I would like, if I may, to offer some encouragement. That is in reviving interest in India's ancient wisdom, especially in relation to such principles as ahimsa and karuna; non-violence and compassion. If we can develop such values, we can make a tremendous contribution not just to India but also to the entire world."
"We Tibetans are profoundly grateful to India for giving us aid during our current crisis, and also for providing us with spiritual knowledge, knowledge that has substantially benefited our people over the course of centuries. I am convinced that the rich ancient Indian understanding of the workings of the mind and emotions will be of great relevance in today's world," affirmed the Tibetan spiritual leader.
His Holiness also touched upon the concept of morale, by laying focus on the principles people need to follow in order to attain true happiness, telling individuals to prioritize emotional hygiene, as much as physical hygiene.
"People need the qualities of non-violence and compassion if they are to live happily together. These principles not only make logical sense, but are also of immediate practical benefit, whether you are a religious person or not. I have no doubt that if people paid more attention to compassion and non-violence in their day-to-day lives, the world would be a better place. Just as many of us work to protect our physical hygiene, I believe we need to cultivate emotional hygiene. We must learn how to deal with anger, anxiety and fear and reduce them all. The key is learning how to cultivate peace of mind," he explained.
He ended, talking about India again and expressing hope towards the fact that the country can take great benefit from its ancient knowledge, further expressing the same for the world. "I truly believe that India is the only country that can combine modern education with the ancient Indian understanding of the workings of the mind, and that the whole world urgently needs this. If we all work together, we can make a fresh contribution to the welfare of the entire planet," addressed the Tibetan spiritual leader.

XAT stands for Xavier Aptitude Test. It is a national level entrance examination conducted by XLRI every year for selecting the best possible students for management programs in the institute. Additionally, more than 100 other institutes for admission to their management programs use the XAT score. It is a paper-based test conducted on the first Sunday of the year in which the program commences. XAT 2016 will be conducted on January 03, 2016.
Thrust is on reasoning skills. Purely vocabulary-based questions are rarely asked. Vocabulary questions are based on a combination of skills and usage is also important part of these questions.
The Reading Comprehensions in XAT are generally of an advanced level and require more than a simple perusal of the passage.
A majority of the questions in this section are inference passage.
This is one of the most unique sections of the XAT exam.
Consisting of various business and everyday situations, you are meant to establish what the various stakeholders should do in the situations given.
As far as what kind of decisions you should make, ensure that the decision taken is unbiased and does not favour one particular party, ethical, balanced and from the perspective of all stakeholders involved. Do not lose your objectivity in the entire process and do not let your own biases cloud your judgment.
This section requires a fine balance of time spent and questions solved. Considering the number of questions in this section is lower in comparison to other exams such as SNAP and IIFT, this becomes an accuracy based section.
General knowledge made its first appearance in the XAT exam in 2013.
Out of the 30 questions in XAT 2013, 12 were on current affairs and 18 on static GK.
Greater emphasis on economics and business related facts.
Going by the past trends, XAT essay topics have had stronger abstract dimensions.
The topic is based on either a common phrase or an idiom with a philosophical hint implied within.
The examiner is not only looking for language skills here, but is also evaluating coherence of thoughts, ability to provide logical arguments and your knowledge level.
Reading the editorial page of national newspapers may be of great help in this section.
It is recommended that you write sample essays and get them assessed on content and style.

Micro Activism
Happy 1st of mutha fucking September!
Okay, so I have to tell you about my little bit of activism in this age of division, and racism and bullshit.
Now, I am not one to get super involved in politics and fighting for the greater good of mankind. Why? Because I tend to be more pro-planet, than pro-human. I look at this world from an out in space viewpoint, and there's a part of me that wishes that a gigantic fireball would come ripping from the sky and obliterate our world. Wipe our miserable asses right out, crispy critters everywhere. Terrible to say, but hey- humans are inherently selfish and arrogant. Yes, there are a lot of good people in the world, but I feel that there are just as many assholes.
Having said that, it really hurts my heart to see all the shit that is happening in this country, and albeit, around the world. I can't stand seeing the orange cheeto devil on the television screen and hear all the hate and division he sows. Fuck, the man can't get out a coherent sentence otherwise, but when he's defending alt-right jackasses, suddenly the words come?? And his stupid idiot followers, a large majority of whom are poor, white trash Americans whom he DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT, eat it up like ice cream. His administration will never forward an agenda that will help out their demographic, yet still they rally behind him like he's God.
I work with a chic whom is your typical Trumper. I'll leave out the details. I have tried, I have TRIED to look beyond her beliefs and be friends with her but I have reached a point where I need to walk away. I thought of it as my civic duty to try to understand the other side, but I do understand it, and there's nothing there but racist, bullshit beliefs pulled from the prez's Twitter account (which is just an amazing tweet deck of SHIT, btw).
When the BLM protests were really getting going, she was walking around the office saying how the protesters needed to go get jobs. That found me in the manager's office, and then there was an email that went around warning people to not talk politics in the office.
Last week, she texted me a picture of a new Trump face mask she got. I ignored it and hoped she wouldn't try to wear it in the office. Welp.
By the way, she likes to do that- bait me? Try to get a reaction out of me? She knows I am not a Trumper, and I'm sure she thinks I'm just a liberal snowflake, offended by everything. We have never had a full blown discussion about it, as I'm sure that would totally be the end of our tentative friendship, but she knows. Every once in a while she'll send me some trump whatever, and I ignore it, trying to be the bigger person, which she never is.
But the mask. Nope. No way in hell I'm letting that slide. Again, I marched to the manager's office, and complained, and she apparently received an email telling her not to wear the mask again as it's inappropriate.
Today, she's angrily slamming down papers and huffing and puffing, and honestly guys- I'm living for it. I trolled her FB page and she threw up an angry post about how our managers are a bunch of hypocrites.
I mean, I can't with this girl, guys. I'm curious how she would have reacted if I had shown up with a Make Trump Cry! mask. I'm pretttyyyy sure she would be complaining about that. Like, how does she not understand that if there's no talking about politics, then a politically motivated, jackass mask like that is not going to fly?? Nice try, but how are you going to get mad about that??
So I'm just going to keep getting in her way. She can go ahead and wear her stupid fucking mask outside of work, and I hope she gets her ass kicked someday. Ok, not really. What I really hope for, which will never happen, is for her to wake up and realize how much the Prez doesn't give a shit about her. He doesn't give a shit about her poor country ass or anyone else except those at the top who can help line his fat (in both senses of the word) pockets.
In closing, I just want to say that I recognize that there are people on both sides of the aisle that are causing trouble instead of helping fix our division. It's not just tRumpers, but the liberals throw stones as well. This is why I am pro-planet. Humans just suck a lot of the time, no matter what their political beliefs are. If this wasn't such a crucially important election, I would write in Mother Earth on my ballot. But it's too important for that.
So this is my little corner of the world that I will keep fighting for and to keep this little bitch in her place.

Resource Name: What factors affect sustained adoption of safe water, hygiene, and sanitation technologies?
Short Desc: This chapter from the ePPI Centre (University of London) discusses the main findings of a literature review as well as the strengths and limitations of their methodology looking at factors impacting sustained adoption of safe water, hygiene, and sanitation technologies. They then discuss the larger implications for policies and programs to promote WASH technologies and behaviors. The findings of this review imply a need for direction and leadership in guiding the research agenda on sustained adoption of WASH technologies. They discuss the steps necessary in examining sustained adoption including setting intentions, planning and funding assessments of long-term behavior change; executing robust interventions that clearly define intervention activities and metrics for assessment; and interpreting and disseminating of these findings.

The Bertschi School Living Science wing is an award-winning building completed in 2011, which includes a small classroom, science lab and ethnobotanical garden. It was the first building certified under the Living Building Challenge V2.0, considered to be the most stringent green building certification in the world. The LBC's Net-Zero Water imperative requires on-site supply, treatment and reuse of all the building's water needs. They met this in part by installing an innovative rainwater harvesting system that uses filtration and sanitation to treat water for potable use by the school's staff and students.
To help meet the LBC Net Zero Water imperative, the school installed all the necessary components to treat harvested rainwater on-site and use it for potable water in the classroom's sinks and toilets, despite the fact that use of the system was denied by the King County Department of Public Health and because it conflicts with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (CFR Title 40; section 141.70). Laws require all drinking water from individual sources to be chlorinated, which directly conflicts with the LBC requirement against using chemicals to treat water. The school has installed a carbon filter with U.V. sanitation system, with the intention of using harvested rainwater as potable supply once state and federal laws and code adjust the definition of rainwater to reflect the fact that the harvested rainwater is much cleaner than other surface water sources therefore requiring less treatment.
Individual supply sources usually allowed only where city water is unavailable; Seattle would allow through a variance. Use of harvested rainwater for potable use may be permitted with approved filtration and sanitization, but the Bertschi school system is not approved, so it is installed, but not operational.
Uniform Plumbing Code: Chapter 301.3 (Adopted by WA State) When it was built, use of rainwater for irrigation required connection to City sewer; since then an administrative ruling by Seattle King County Public Health reversed this requirement.
Washington State policy allows rainwater collection for beneficial use, however potable water sources are regulated by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Pursuant to federal law, state plumbing code (UPC Section 602) requires that all potable water be supplied from a municipal source in public buildings, or from an approved individual water supply source. Individual sources must be treated with chlorine prior to use. On the other hand, the Living Building Challenge 2.0 specifically forbids use of any chemicals on-site to treat water. The Bertschi School designers opted to install the Carbon Filtration w/UV system. Although Federal statute remains inflexible regarding this particular issue, potable water can be made available to Bertschi staff and students at the flip of a switch when and if regulations are updated to more accurately reflect the differences in the quality of particular sources.
Rainwater is collected from 3 roofs on the property: the butterfly roof, a small green roof, and some of the water from a nearby Church roof, which is channeled through rain leaders equipped with first-flush devices into an underground concrete cistern for potable water. This cistern is treated with food grade Xypex Waterproofing, where it is stored prior to treatment with a UV light and carbon filtration System. When operational, the treated rainwater can be pumped to potable water fixtures in the classroom, though currently it is physically isolated from the potable system due to Health Department requirement as mentioned above. When the potable cistern reaches capacity of 2500 gallons, excess water is transported through an indoor/outdoor runnel to an irrigation cistern of 2750 gallon capacity , this water is used for irrigation water only. The second cistern overflows into an outdoor rain garden, and then into a public storm sewer system as required. However, so far no rainwater has been recorded overflowing to the storm sewer.
In keeping with The Bertschi School's active learning environment, the Science Wing provides a living classroom and laboratory for students to learn first-hand about scarce resources such as clean water and air, and to see real solutions for protecting and conserving those resources. In this case, rainwater flows through a clear-covered runnel runnel in the classroom floor which makes the flowing water visible during a rain event. The curving concrete path of the runnel is decorated with art and inscriptions depicting water's relationship to nature, wildlife, and us. It flows through the lab and then outside where excess water is used to sustain the beautiful ethnobotanical garden. This educational zero-impact landscape includes signage describing the garden's diverse plant species, complete with QR codes which link students to each plant's profile including scientific name, characteristics, uses and life cycle.
The Living Science Wing of the Bertschi school was the first "Living Building" in Washington state, a new addition to the school campus that also contains the first LEED-Gold LEED gold-certified building on an independent school campus in the Pacific NW (completed 2007). It was designed through an intense collaboration between Bertschi students and staff, and KMD Architects' Restorative Design Collective. The team interviewed the students to find out what they wanted in their classroom, and heard: "an indoor river, a bamboo fountain to relieve stress, and green house where something's always growing". Architects, landscape architects, engineers, and other consultants paired these requests with the rigorous standards of the Living Building Challenge v 2.0 (LBC) to design a 1,425 sq ft science classroom building on a 3380 sq ft site with an ethnobotanical garden.

Only two days after he was elected as Chicago's first new mayor in 22 years, winning roughly 55 percent of the city's popular vote on Feb. 22, Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel announced the co-chairs of his transition team in a press conference Feb. 24.
Among the team are two former chiefs of staff to current Mayor Richard M. Daley, the influential pastor of a South Side church and, notably, no openly gay or lesbian individuals.
David Mosena, now president and CEO of the Museum of Science and Industry, previously served as the president of the Chicago Transit Authority ( CTA ) in addition to his stint with the Daley administration. Sarah Pang served as Daley's former deputy chief of staff for nine years and is currently senior vice president for corporate communications and public affairs for CNA Insurance companies.
Rounding out the team are Rev. Byron Brazier, pastor of the Apostolic Church of God; Felicia Davis, former police officer and Kendall College vice president of administration; Rebecca Gonzalez, Casa Central vice president of programs and operations; and Steve Koch, Credit Susse vice chairman.
The final co-chair announced last week—former state Rep. Judy Erwin—resigned her position abruptly after the Chicago Tribune reported that she had been fined for an ethics violation last year while the former executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Erwin had engaged in private campaign fundraising while on state time.
While a part of the state's General Assembly from 1992 to 2003, Erwin had a strong record on LGBT issues, earning the endorsement of the Equality Illinois PAC in her 2000 re-election campaign. Erwin was also a co-chair of Emanuel's mayoral campaign.
Rev. Irene Monroe, coordinator of the African American Roundtable of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion, said Emanuel's selection of Brazier while not including any LGBT co-chairs was an intentional, and troubling, choice.
"It is a great concern," Monroe said. "Why that particular church when there are so many progressive churches he can choose from?
Monroe added Emanuel's choice reminded her of President Obama's friendship with some anti-gay religious leaders.
"I think what bothers me most about that is that progressives like Rahm and Obama don't mind taking LGBT money for their campaigns and don't mind our vote, but when it comes to full-throated advocacy, they invariably either let us down or leave us waiting like this time is never the right time for them to hit these particular issues," she added.
Robert Kohl, a co-chair of the LGBT coalition that backed Emanuel's mayoral campaign, remained confident that Emanuel is committed to diversity in his upcoming appointment decisions. Kohl noted that several senior leaders of Emanuel's transition and campaign staff are also openly gay.
Kohl also pointed to Emanuel's role in the Obama administration's record-setting number of presidential appointments as proof of more inclusion of openly LGBT people ahead.
"Rahm recognizes and has always recognized the need to identify and recruit qualified LGBT candidates and he's committed to diverse hiring across all the departments," Kohl said. "Rahm is comfortable with that process. He knows that it worked and he expects it will work well here as well."
The Obama administration's appointments were partially the result of a community-driven model similar to the recently announced Chicago Appointments Project. A joint effort led by Equality Illinois, the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, the project hopes to identify well-qualified openly LGBT names for appointment within the incoming Emanuel administration.

Hollywood Vampires Tour: It's About Fun.
Alice Cooper, Bowie, Hollywood Vampires, Joe Perry, Johnny Depp, Lemmy Kilmister, Los Angeles' Roxy Theatre, Robert DeLeo
Alice Cooper, Joe Perry on Hollywood Vampires Tour: It's About Fun.
« You'd think there'd be ego, but there hasn't been one problem with ego in this whole thing, » singer says of all-star group.
Hollywood Vampires – the supergroup featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry, among others – will be mounting an 18-date North American tour this summer, and that means one thing to the singer. « Apparently, Johnny's not making any movies this summer, » he says with a big laugh. « I think he loves playing rock & roll more than he does making movies. He calls movies his day job. »
Ever since the group put out its raucous self-titled debut last year – a collection of cover songs by artists Cooper calls his « dead drunk friends » that made it into the Top 10 of Billboard's hard-rock chart – Hollywood Vampires have only given short glimpses into what they're capable of live. They played a couple of star-studded gigs at Los Angeles' Roxy Theatre and a date at Brazil's mega-festival Rock in Rio, and they debuted a new original tune and paid tribute to Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister with a fiery performance at the Grammy Awards this past February. Now, with each of the musicians' schedules somehow in alignment and the addition of Stone Temple Pilots' Robert DeLeo replacing bassist Duff McKagan, they're ready to take the show on the road. « This is a real band here, » Cooper says. « We actually tour and do shows, argue, do everything. » He laughs.
The singer and guitarist Joe Perry spoke to Rolling Stone in early April in anticipation of the tour, which kicks off in Verona, New York, on May 24th, to preview what fans should expect.
What can people expect on this tour?
Joe Perry: It's really about us having fun. Obviously, I love watching the audience get off, but to turn around and look at the people onstage with me, I've just got to shake my head. Never in my wildest dreams. To have Matt Sorum and Johnny Depp and Alice – I mean, I've known Alice for years and years and years, but we've never really had the chance to play together. And Johnny's sat in with us a few times on Aerosmith shows, but we've never really had the chance to do something like this. So it's really exciting. All that excitement is what we're going to bring to the stage and put it out there for the audience.
Will it be a theatrical show, like an Alice gig?
Alice Cooper: I don't think it needs to be theatrical. It needs to have its own flavor.
Perry: It'll be a good rock show. I don't think we're going to go in with a bunch of bombs, fireworks and all that stuff. I don't think we need that. And it takes away from the music. We'll just let the music do the talking.
Joe, how would you describe Johnny Depp as a guitar player?
Perry: He's really into the blues. You just have to look at his guitar collection. I'd say most of the guitars he has out, ready to be played are old Martins from the Thirties, Forties, Fifties, the early stuff. But there's that movie Chocolat, where he played the river gypsy, and he's playing guitar around the campfire and they're dancing.
That's him playing; that's not a trick of the camera. When I found that out, that's when I knew how much he's gotten into guitar. He can sit in probably with just about anybody, and really blow them away. He's really good.
How did you get Robert DeLeo to replace Duff?
Perry: About a week before we found out that Duff was going with GN'R, I got a text from Robert. I've known him since right after their first record came out. He came up to [my studio,] the Boneyard, and Steven and I and him spent a weekend and wrote some songs together. I don't think anything ended up on a record, but we got to know each other. And he's a really amazing musician. So when I brought his name up as a potential to fill in Duff's spot, everybody was « Yea. » He's really, I'd say, underestimated. I think he's going to knock everybody out. We're going to miss Duff, but I think him and Matt will get along great musically. I think it will be a really good matchup.
« There's always that McCartney guy. He plays bass, doesn't he? » —Alice Cooper.
Who else did you consider for bass?
Cooper: I was suggesting John Paul Jones. He's not doing anything. Come on. Or Geezer Butler. He might be good, too, but Black Sabbath are on their last tour. And there's always that McCartney guy. He plays bass, doesn't he?
What songs are you looking forward to playing on the road?
Cooper: Pretty much everything that's on the album. It's going to be « My Generation » and « I've Got a Line on You. » And there are three or four original songs: « Dead Drunk Friends, » « Raise the Dead » and « Bad as I Am. » I think « Bad as I Am » made its bones because of our performance on the Grammys. It was Number Two on the hard-rock chart.
Perry: « As Bad as I Am » really stands out to me. It's a really powerful rock song. And then I love playing anything by the Who, especially « My Generation. » With this band, it kicks ass.
Will you be adding any cover songs?
Cooper: We didn't have Bowie in the set, and now that he's passed, we will. And we'll probably keep « Ace of Spades » in. If Lemmy were still alive, we would have asked him to join when Duff jumped out.
What David Bowie songs would you want to do?
Cooper: We wouldn't do the dance stuff. We would go back to « Rebel Rebel » and « Suffragette City, » because that stuff just rocked. Even though we were in competition in the Seventies, I would sit and listen to those albums and go, « Wow, this guy's good. » You absorb it and it becomes part of your life just like anything else. In fact, if you do « Suffragette City, » it's exactly the same chords as « Under My Wheels. » We used to do « Under My Wheels, » and at the end, I'd sing, « Suffragette City » instead of « Under my wheels. »
Cooper, Depp and Perry at Rock in Rio in September 2015. « He can sit in probably with just about anybody, and really blow them away, » says Perry of Depp.
There's a looseness to the way you play your songs.
Cooper: That's it. Every band that's ever made it was a bar band at some point. It was a band that played four hours a night and had to do « Mustang Sally » and every dance song that ever was, and that's how a band gets good. It's an old tradition to go back to that and be a bar band again, only we're a pretty big bar band [laughs].
You're a bar band that plays the Barclays Center.
Cooper: That's not a bad bar band right there. And anyone can get up there and play. If Jimmy Page was in town, I'd say, « You wanna play on 'Train Kept-a-Rollin »? Come on up. Anybody that's in that era or made their name doing that, I would absolutely include them at any time because you know they can step in and play any song you've got up there. They're not novices and we have a common language. You say « Back in the U.S.S.R., » and everybody knows that song.
Have you been recording new songs?
Perry: I'm hoping we can knock a few off before we go out. But even if we don't, we certainly have enough songs between the deluxe Vampires record and, hey, we're free to play whatever we want.
Cooper: The funny thing is I'm writing right now for my new album. And we're also writing for the Vampires album. So there's two separate things going on. Every time I come up with an idea that doesn't quite fit my album, I think, « Let's direct this more towards the Vampires. » But I think Johnny and these guys are always working over there, and everybody in the band is always writing. So when we get together, everybody will just plop a bunch of stuff down on the table and say, « What fits? »
« If Jimmy Page was in town, I'd say, 'You wanna play on « Train Kept-a-Rollin' »? Come on up.' » —Cooper
With so many big personalities in the band, how do you expect traveling to go?
Cooper: It might be worth documenting. The fun thing about this is when I said we argued earlier, I was joking. I never heard an argument. Even in rehearsal. You'd think there'd be ego problems in this, but there hasn't been one problem with ego in this whole thing. I think everybody's just happy to be doing it because it's fun to do.
Perry: We'll all have our own buses, but I have a feeling that there will be a lot of switching around just to hang out depending on the drives. We're all friends. And the tour's pretty intense. It'll give us some time to hang out. So I'm really looking forward to it. We'll see how it goes.

NFL officially expands regular season to 17 games
NFL logo
The NFL confirmed Tuesday that the league is adding an additional game to its schedule beginning in 2021 and will play an expanding 17-game schedule moving forward.
The league and team owners have been eyeing a 17-game schedule for several years but faced pushback from the Player's Association. However, the new collective bargaining agreement signed between owners in players in 2020 allowed the league the option to expand the season 17 games beginning in the 2021 season.
"This is a monumental moment in NFL history," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a press release. "The CBA with the players and the recently completed media agreements provide the foundation for us to enhance the quality of the NFL experience for our fans."
The league also announced the additional opponents each team would face in 2021, and also released the schedule guidance by which the matchups will be selected moving forward.
Here are the added 17th games for the 2021 season, plus an outline of how the schedule works going forward: pic.twitter.com/swfcHuTQa9
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 30, 2021
Teams will continue to have only bye week under the 17-game schedule.
As part of the new schedule format, the NFL also announced that every team will play in an international game once every eight years. The league has been holding games in London for about a decade, and attempted to play games in Mexico City in 2019 and 2020 before canceling them for field issues and the pandemic, respectively.
The announcement marks the first time since the 1978 expansion to a 16 game schedule that the NFL has added games to a season. Prior to 1978, the NFL held 14 game schedules.

Frisco Jenny (1932)
Posted on February 18, 2010 by Judy
Ruth Chatterton and James Murray
For a director with a macho reputation, William Wellman made a lot of movies featuring strong female characters. Admittedly, it wasn't always his choice to make these films – for instance, I have read that Wings was originally supposed to be an all, or mainly, male film before the studio told him to cast Clara Bow, who ended up getting top billing. According to the TCM account of the making of Frisco Jenny, Warner producer Darryl Zanuck ordered Wellman to make this movie and also cast Ruth Chatterton in the lead – originally Wellman was none too thrilled at this and the director and star weren't even on speaking terms.
However, just as Wellman worked so well with Bow in Wings, the same thing happened with Chatterton, and in the end they got on very well and went on to work together again. Frisco Jenny is one of the six early Wellman films included in the great Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume Three box set, and I found it very enjoyable to watch – at times rather like a female version of the male gangster films of the era, as Jenny wears a succession of flamboyant outfits and rises to the top of the Barbary Coast underworld.
Unfortunately, the movie wasn't a big success at the box office, apparently because it was thought to be too similar to Chatterton's earlier Oscar-winning role in Madame X (1929). Both movies see her cast as a mother separated from her child, who goes on to be involved in a court case with her adult son, although in the earlier movie the son has the task of defending her and in this one he is counsel for the prosecution. I haven't as yet seen Madame X, which was directed by Lionel Barrymore and is said to be very static and stagey – but must say I think Frisco Jenny stands up as a powerful melodrama in its own right, whatever it might owe to the earlier movie.
There were a lot of films involving noble, self-sacrificing mothers around this time – I suppose partly because giving up everything for your child is seen as the ultimate in female heroism, and this was all the more so in the context of the Great Depression. Also, as so many mothers really had been forced to give up children for adoption, this was something which would strike a chord with many people. It also strikes me that stressing the heroine's role as a mother is a way of making her sympathetic despite her life of crime – so the audience doesn't have to feel too guilty about rooting for her as she lies, covers up murder, runs a vice ring and fights the legal authorities all the way. This is rather like the way male gangsters, such as Tom Powers (James Cagney) in Wellman's The Public Enemy, tend to love their mothers, giving them a chink in their armour.
Although Chatterton was around 40 when this movie was made, I think she carries off playing a teenager in the early scenes of the movie, which see her character, young Irish-American Jenny Sandoval, working at the front desk of a speakeasy run by her father, Jim (Robert Emmett O'Connor). As this is a pre-Code, it is made perfectly clear that the club is also a brothel – and it's equally clear that the girls partly make their money by getting men drunk and then picking their pockets, even chalking a victim's shoulder afterwards to show that this man has already been robbed!
The earthquake strikes in 'Frisco Jenny'
Jenny is in love with the joint's piano player, Dan McAllister (James Murray) – but her father wants something better for her, and contemptuously refuses Dan's offer to marry her. After closing time, when Jenny reveals that she is pregnant and has to get married, her father's reaction is to knock her down on the floor – a violent action which is immediately followed by him being knocked down himself and the whole building falling apart, as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 strikes. I thought the scenes of the earthquake and fire were powerfully done and would love to know how all this was shot, but unfortunately this is one of the movies in the set without a commentary track to give this kind of background information. In any case, Wellman is very good at scenes of disaster, as with the train crash and landslide in Other Men's Women.
In the aftermath of the fire, Jenny discovers that her fiancé, Dan, is dead, and she will have to give birth and care for her baby alone. She is taken in for a time by her Chinese maid, Amah, who is her loyal friend all through the film, and her relations in Chinatown. Unfortunately, as so often happened with Chinese characters in films of this era, Amah is played by a Caucasian actress (Helen Jerome Eddy), in heavy make-up – a jarring element in the movie and a real shame, as the other, more minor, Chinese characters are played by Chinese-American actors.
The brothel madams get together in style
Once Jenny's baby has been born, she tries to go straight, joining the Salvation Army – but, when donations dry up, Jenny goes back to a life of crime, telling the band's captain "God helps those who help themselves." There is a very similar scene to this in Wellman's Midnight Mary, with another bad-girl heroine trying the Salvation Army but falling away again.
Stressing that she is doing all this to feed her son Dan, Jenny is soon busy organising vice parties for the powers-that-be in San Francisco. Probably the best scene of the movie comes when Jenny's partner in crime, crooked politician Steve Dutton (Louis Calhern, who is excellent throughout) murders a man over a game of dice, and Jenny manages to cover up for him by daringly hiding the gun in an iced cake right under the noses of police – another example of Wellman using food in a key scene, as in the famous grapefruit scene in The Public Enemy. Jenny's brand of crime doesn't seem particularly violent most of the time – she chats to the other madams at a tea party before collecting in their protection money, as they all laugh and joke – but moments like this one come as reminders of the violence she and Steve are orchestrating in the world outside her front room.
With irony piling on irony, Jenny is forced to give up her son to be adopted by a top lawyer – and decides not to reclaim him when she sees how much he loves his new parents. He then grows up to be the district attorney, and, through a series of tragic twists, ends up prosecuting his own mother, unaware of her identity – as she nobly keeps her mouth shut to prevent tearing his world apart. Donald Cook, Tom's older brother in The Public Enemy, plays Dan. Cook is convincing as another fiercely moral loner, but he was only about nine years younger than Chatterton and looks much too old to be her son!
The last scenes of the film, with Jenny waiting in the condemned cell, do reach the heights of melodrama, and the first time I watched it I must admit I found it all a bit much – but second time around I liked it a lot more, which perhaps shows that you really have to be in the right mood for this kind of emotion. In any case, I think anyone who likes early 1930s melodramas would find this worth watching, especially if you are also interested in either Chatterton or Wellman. The two worked together again twice the following year, in Lilly Turner which I haven't seen, and also in the pre-Code comedy Female, a strange role reversal movie with businesswoman Chatterton sexually harassing her young male employees – Wellman directed some scenes of that film, though I'm not sure which ones.

This is the film from the Wellman collection that I've saved for last. I suppose it seemed least interesting because it's a period piece, at least at first, but you make its relevance pretty clear. It looks like another story in which the Depression is just the climax of the main character's life of travails rather than the cause. Is there something about Wellman or did more Depression filmmakers take the same approach? In any event, you've convinced me to finally give Frisco Jenny a look.
Judy on February 19, 2010 at 9:08 am said:
That's an interesting question, Samuel. To be honest my answer is that I'm not sure how much this approach was personal to Wellman – I really need to see more of his films and others from the era. Of course, with a story like this one, following a character from youth to middle age, it's inevitable that the early scenes would be a period piece, but I think there is a gritty Depression feeling to the whole film nonetheless, elaborate costumes notwithstanding. Thanks for commenting, and I'll be interested to hear what you think of the movie!
John Greco on February 20, 2010 at 12:45 pm said:
Wellman made a couple of films where the depression is the direct cause of all that follows (Wild Boys of the Road and Heroes for Sale) and in other films used the depression as a back drop to the times. Some of his most interesting work was done during this period.
I like your point on making Jenny a sympathetic mother to give the audience a reason to sympathize with her, and yeah Cagney always loved his mom (White Heat LOL!). Another well done review.
I could never warm up to Chatterton, don't know why. Should watch this again.
Judy on February 20, 2010 at 1:01 pm said:
Interesting that you don't warm to Chatterton much, John, because I found the same – somehow I don't find myself gripped by her plight in the same way as I am by, say, Barbara Stanwyck. I suppose that might be one reason why Stanwyck is a bigger star, because she takes the audience with her. But I think Chatterton gives a good performance in this, all the same. As well as Cagney with his Ma in numerous films, Humphrey Bogart loves his big sister in San Quentin (played by Ann Sheridan, who was about 10 years younger than Bogie!) and Lew Ayres is always worrying about his younger brother in Doorway to Hell – so it might be a general thing to have gangsters taking care of their families as they destroy other people's! I hope to get on to Wild Boys and Heroes for Sale soon. Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts on this film and Wellman.

OK, I finally took a look at this one and your assessment is sound and fair. I found it rather melodramatic, but not in an off-putting sense, and I like your description of it as a "female version of the Warner gangster films of the period."
"In any case, I think anyone who likes early 1930s melodramas would find this worth watching, especially if you are also interested in either Chatterton or Wellman."
Indeed, Ms. Chatterton added to the Wellman legacy with great female lead performances, and i'd also add James Murray to this mix. Murray, who degenerated into an alcoholic and panhandler, delivered one of the greatest performances in the American silent cinema in King Vidor's THE CROWD, and completists who are fascinated with his life and career would want to check him out in this film, where he was solid as always.
You are really doing such a terrific job with Wellman Judy!
Thanks so much for your comments and encouragement, Sam. I thought Murray was very good in his small part in this film – haven't yet seen 'The Crowd' but it is one I definitely intend to see. It's sad that he went on to such a tragic decline. I do agree this film is melodramatic – for me it is not the strongest in the set by any means, but still very interesting. Many thanks again for the kind words.
Ellen Moody on February 23, 2010 at 2:22 pm said:
Very thorough about this distress upon distress (teasing). Renee Zellweger recently made a film where we see her turn into a self-sacrificing (within limits) at the end. It was panned at the box office as feminist. I gather no whiff of this has "tainted" this one. Ellen :)
Judy on February 25, 2010 at 11:24 pm said:
Thanks, Ellen, distress on distress is right, and I'm too thorough for my own good – I keep trying to make my reviews a bit shorter so I can do more of them, but then writing more than I intended!:) I haven't seen the Renee Zellweger film but I do think it would be interesting to look at how some modern melodramas/emotion pictures compare with these older ones and how much the attitudes to women have changed.
CagneyFan on February 23, 2010 at 6:17 pm said:
Judy, thanks for reviewing this movie. I saw it last summer and must admit I enjoyed it. Yes, it's a bit melodramatic and even predictable at times, and I'm ashamed to say I got a huge lump in my throat at the end. What a sap. Sometimes melodrama makes me angry b/c I feel as if the director is deliberately trying to tweak my emotions, but I just let myself go with FRISCO JENNY. Maybe b/c it's a Wellman film.
I agree with you on the earthquake scenes. They were well done, and I was rather surprised at them.
Interesting bit of info—I didn't know that Wellman directed some of the scenes in FEMALE. Yes, it'd be interesting to know which ones.
Another excellent article, Judy!
Thanks, CagneyFan – I have now read somewhere (I forget where, maybe at the TCM site) that the earthquake scenes were partly done with miniatures, as with the train crash scenes in Other Men's Women – in both films I find the scenes very convincing.
The odd thing about the melodrama aspect is that the first time I saw the film I did feel a bit manipulated, but the second time I watched it I let myself go with it – I think it depends partly on your mood when you are watching. I will hope to find out more about Wellman's contribution to 'Female'. Thanks again!

How has Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom fared at the international box office?
June 9, 2018 by Matt Rodgers 1 Comment
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom opened in 30 international territories this week, and with love-it or hate-it reviews streaming in like out-of-control CGI volcanic lava – read both our ★★ review and our ★★★★ review – it's going to be interesting to see how that translates to box-office.
Variety is reporting that the J.A. Bayona directed sequel to the record breaking Jurassic World ($1.67 billion worldwide) has taken in $39.9 million during its first two days of release.
Ahead of its June 22nd North American release, where industry experts are predicting an opening in the region of $140-150 million, Universal Pictures rolled out the monster mash to a record breaking bow in South Korea, where it earned $9.6 million on day one, with the UK and Ireland accounting for $4.6 million dino dollars since Wednesday. This weekend will see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom expand into a total of 48 markets.
If you've already seen the film, and think it won't perform anywhere near the levels of Jurassic World, let us know why you think this might be the case using the comments section below…
It's been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.
When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who's still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.
With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful series in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sees J.A. Bayona directing a cast that includes franchise veterans Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong and Jeff Goldblum alongside newcomers Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger), Rafe Spall (Black Mirror), Justice Smith (The Get Down), Ted Levine (Silence of the Lambs), James Cromwell (The Young Pope), Daniella Pineda (The Detour) and Geraldine Chaplin (A Monster Calls).

Is It Time For New York State to Revise Its Village Incorporation Laws?
Lisa K. Parshall
Over the past several years, New York State has taken considerable steps to eliminate or reduce the number of local governments — streamlining the law to make it easier for citizens to undertake the process as well as providing financial incentives for communities that undertake consolidations and shared services. Since 2010, the residents of 42 villages have voted on the question of whether to dissolve their village government. This average of 4.7 dissolution votes per year is an increase over the .79 a-year-average in the years 1972-2010. The growing number of villages considering dissolution is attributable to the combined influence of declining populations, growing property tax burdens, and the passage of the New N.Y. Government Reorganization and Citizen Empowerment Act (herein after the Empowerment Act), effective in March 2019, which revised procedures to make it easier for citizens to place dissolution and consolidation on the ballot. While the number of communities considering and voting on dissolution has increased, the rate at which dissolutions have been approved by the voters has declined. That is, 60 percent of proposed village dissolutions bought under the provisions of the Empowerment Act have been rejected at referendum (see Dissolving Village Government in New York State: A Symbol of a Community in Decline or Government Modernization?)
While the Empowerment Act revised the processes for citizen-initiated dissolutions and consolidations, it left the provisions for the incorporation of new villages unchanged. Thus, even as the state has created pressure on and increased incentives for residents to reduce the number of local governments, new villages continue to be created. Moreover, recent village incorporation efforts have been particularly contentious. This report highlights several recent village incorporation controversies, reviews the history of village incorporation patterns and procedures, and compares the incorporation provisions of New York relative to those of other states to ask whether the current state laws governing village incorporation are adequate to addressing the increasingly complex questions which surround local government formation and dissolution. The report concludes that it is time for New York's legislature to look to
other states for prospective models that would modernize the municipal incorporation process.

What a knockout!
Sylvester Stallone is officially back with a best supporting actor Golden Globe for his touching turn in Creed.
Last year's winners J.K. Simmons and Patricia Arquette presented the Hollywood legend with the award at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
Receiving a standing ovation from the crowd, the 69-year-old told his peers: "Please, thank you! I'm going to try not to get emotional because I am the sum total of everyone I've ever met."
"The last time I was here, it was 1977," said Stallone of his previous two nominations for best actor, drama, and best screenplay for Rocky, the movie that originated the character for which he finally took home a Globe on Sunday.
"It was kind of a different situation," he continued, "and the view is beautiful from here today."
The actor also thanked his dates for the night – his wife and daughters – saying, "actually having you love is the greatest award every day."
Stallone went on to thank his earliest supporters, "Who actually mortgaged their house [to help] a bumbling actor get the chance of a lifetime."
Finally, he said that "most of all, I want to thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa for being the best friend I ever had."
Stallone was up against Beasts of No Nation's Idris Elba, Mark Rylance from Bridge of Spies, Love & Mercy's Paul Dano and Michael Shannon from 99 Homes.
Hosted once again by Ricky Gervais, the 73rd annual Golden Globes are being presented live from Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on NBC.

These are part of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's measures to stabilize the supply of at-home test kits, as the country battles an omicron surge, with COVID-19 cases rising to a new high of 57,177 on Tuesday.
After the country switched from "free PCR (polymer chain reaction) tests for all" to "rapid test first, PCR later," the demand for the at-home swap kits spiked, leading to shortages and price hikes.
In response, the government has earlier mandated the manufacturers to produce only the 20-unit packages for the time being in order to prop up supply. The price control applies to sales of individual units from this 20-unit package.
The smaller packages of 1, 2 and five test kits already in selves are excluded from the price regulations.
Selling fixed-price test kits at a higher price is a violation of the special bill enacted last year for manufacturing and distribution of medical supplies in a public health care crisis.
A recent surge in COVID-19 cases has caused a rush to buy self-test kits on- and offline, with the price jumping as much as five- or sixfold.
There was even a report of voice phishing scam on multiple pharmacies in Jonno-gu, central Seoul, claiming to sell self-test kits to pharmacies at half price on order of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

Update on the Implementation of ERAP
UPDATE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN ON GBVF
On the 7th November 2019, The Interim Steering Committee on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) held its bi-weekly meeting to discuss the implementation of the GBVF Emergency Action Plan, as well as the management of the funds allocated for its implementation. The Emergency Action Plan unveiled by President Ramaphosa on 18 September aims to combat violence against women and children through a coordinated government and civil society effort.
A total of R1.6bn has been allocated for the implementation of the plan which outlines intervention areas that can be implemented in the next six months. Funds have been committed by different government departments as well as funding development partners. The allocated budget will be spent by various departments, managed through internal procurement processes. There will be no funds transferred to the Interim Steering Committee. The committee will monitor and ensure implementation of the Emergency Response Action Plan.
The committee also received reports from all the departments responsible for the implementation of the emergency plan. From the reports received, it is worth noting that with regards to the procurement of evidence-collection kits (Paediatric Rape Kits, Adult Rape Kits and Buccal Sample Kits), the South African Police Services is in the process of finalising delivery to all police stations in the country. Delivery in Gauteng and Limpopo has been completed.
On the clearing of all DNA samples related to GBVF at forensic laboratories, SAPS is in the process of enhancing the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) that tracks the processing of GBVF related cases. The system will be completed by January 2020. To strengthen the capacity of the Family Violence, Child Abuse and Sexual Offences (FCS) Units, at SAPS, a total of 312 police entrants currently under training will be allocated to the FCS by 31 December 2019.
The verification of the rape kits will be done by the Interim Committee through inspections at various police stations to ensure availability of the kits.
SAPS has also improved communications channels to ensure correct handling of cases by establishing a 24-hour complaints call-centre for service complaints, including GBVF-related service complaints. The number is 0800 333 177. Provincial Complaints Call Centre numbers and e-mail addresses are available at www.saps.gov.za. You can also email to complaintsnodalpoint@saps.gov.za.
SAPS has committed to finalizing 80% of GBV related services complaints within 14 working days. This includes review of current internal processes to ensure better efficiency.
On the provision of additional shelter and accommodation for victims of gender-based violence, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure has identified strategic buildings that can be used in all Provinces. These will be will be handed over to the Department of Social Development. The department has also identified 278 Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) workers to support NGOs working in the GBV space (6 for each of the 44 districts).
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will evaluate Government Personnel working directly with children and persons with intellectual challenges. The Department has vetted approximately 500 DoJ&CD officials thus far. 1 500 prosecutors and 2 942 FCS members will be vetted against the National Register for Sex Offenders, as required by the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007.
During the meeting, the Committee also agreed on the funding criteria for Civil Society Organisations and calls for proposals will be issued in due course.
Finally, the committee thanks everyone who made inputs towards the finalisation of the National Strategic Plan which will be submitted to government by the end of November 2019.

Oftentimes in therapy, we are working to address issues surrounding our relationships, whether romantic, professional or with friends or family. Often we have difficulty finding relationships that feel rewarding, or getting into relationships at all. Perhaps our relationships are repeatedly riddled with conflict or with distance for reasons that we cannot understand on our own.
The power of group therapy, as I understand it and conduct it, is to have a safe space to explore with others how we are perceived, how we behave in relationships, and how we can practice doing relationships differently in order to achieve more meaning, satisfaction and support.
In group therapy, where members have no ties to one another outside of the group and therefore no ulterior motives other than helping one another to grow and achieve their interpersonal goals, members find that they receive and give genuine, authentic feedback and, in doing so, learn how to create genuine, honest relationships outside of the group.
Group therapy is often a "fast track" to therapy results as feedback is provided not just by one therapist, but by multiple people with different points of view, which can help you get a rounded, nuanced picture of how you are viewed by others and how to better connect with and relate to people in your life.
My groups are sometimes co-facilitated with another trusted therapist.

If you're a fan of KRCL, you may have noticed it's been in the news lately for changes to the programming. --- No, this isn't a throwback story to 2008, but on occasion it was hard to tell the difference, with the debates coming out of the community-run station both positive and negative to the changes in programming and station policy toward music -- an argument so heavy it brought discourse between staffers supporting the new changes and others who believe the changes are unnecessary, as well spirited conversation from listeners who seem to be split over everything that's happened and are waiting to see what happens next.
In light of these changes, we chat with the brand-new general manager of KRCL, Vicki Mann, to discuss her career prior to SLC, joining KRCL earlier this year, the changes she's made to the programming block and music library, thoughts on the criticism the station has received and many other topics.
Gavin: Hey, Vicki.Ffirst thing, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Vicki: I'm a music junkie, a radio vagabond and a traveler. A Midwesterner at heart, I grew up with a transistor radio under my pillow listening to Chicago radio -- WLS and WCFL. I spent my high school years in Los Angeles in the early '70s listening to Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne on a unique station for its time, KNX-FM, a California blend of acoustic rock. These days, my husband and I are rehabbing a 1961 Airstream Globetrotter. I see us loading up the dogs and exploring every small town in the U.S. sometime in the future.
Gavin: When did you first take an interest in broadcasting, and what influenced you to go into radio?
Vicki: I've loved music and radio since I can remember. I got seriously interested in radio in high school. KNX-FM was a gem of a radio station and they aired these 60-second community and arts features called the Odyssey File and 60 Seconds. I wanted to be the person in charge of creating and producing those pieces, and years later, I actually ended up working for KNX-FM's sister station in Chicago, WBBM, doing exactly that.
Gavin: How did you formally break into the business, and what was it like for you just starting out?
Vicki: I put myself through college working a commercial station in Columbia, Missouri, doing anything they asked me to do -- sweeping floors, running tapes of public-service shows, etc. I also ran a college station there. After college, I worked for stations in Kansas City and eastern Iowa for a few years doing news and DJ-ing before getting my big break at CBS in Chicago. Getting started in the radio business was tough. There wasn't -- and isn't -- a lot of money for most folks starting out in radio. People get into radio because they love it.
Gavin: From what I've read about your career, you ended up traveling a lot and did extensive stays in San Francisco and Chicago. What was the experience like for you to work in such huge markets and really learn the ropes of the business in those areas?
Vicki: Working in major markets like Chicago and San Francisco in the '80s was a blast -- fast-paced and exciting. Commercial radio was a lot different then and most major-market stations were flush with money. I had the opportunity to work on several great advertising campaigns and hundreds of successful promotions while working in marketing for WBBM, WFYR in Chicago and KFRC in San Francisco.
Gavin: What many people don't know about broadcasting is that it is a rarity to stay in one place for years; it is, in many ways, a traveling business. What was it like for you having a transient career and not having a solid base for more than a few years at a time?
Vicki: When I was younger, moving to new markets, big and small, was always exciting to me. I enjoyed getting to know a new place, meeting new people and trying new things. These days, I like growing roots a bit more, and that's why I spent eight years here, then six in Milwaukee ... and now I'm back. I really love Utah.
Gavin: At one point, you were in Utah working with the 2002 Winter Olympics. What was that experience like for you during such a highly publicized event?
Vicki: I saw Peggy Fleming skate for the Gold in 1968 and from then on I wanted to be part of the Olympics. I was lucky enough to see a lot of the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles, as well. Working for the 2002 Winter Games was really a dream come true. My role as ad manager and Olympic Radio manager allowed me to work with some incredible people include Scott Givens and Sayre Wiseman, both visionaries.
Gavin: Prior to coming back to Utah, you were managing 88Nine in Milwaukee. What was your time like there, and how was it for you helping bringing the station's ratings up during that time?
Vicki: I left Salt Lake to be part of a team that created a brand-new public-radio station. Building the station from the ground up was a labor of love for my husband -- a broadcast engineer -- and me. 88Nine RadioMilwaukee is now an integral part of the fabric of Milwaukee. It's a music station with a strong sense of community.
Gavin: How did the opportunity first come about to come take over the GM role at KRCL, and what made you decide to take the job?
Vicki: After six years at RadioMilwaukee, I was looking for an opportunity to move back out west. I was a fan of KRCL when I lived here before, so when I saw the job opening for the GM position I went for it. The interview process was extensive. I got to know the staff and the board and they got to know me before we made the final decision.
Gavin: You started in March of this year, during Radiothon, no less. How was it for you coming in at such a hectic period and seeing KRCL at full force?
Vicki: KRCL has an exceptional staff, so walking in during Spring Radiothon was a great way to start. The team was running on all cylinders and it was exciting to see everyone in action during the very successful Spring Drive.
Gavin: Once Radiothon was over and you had a chance to settle in, what were your initial thoughts on the station's ratings, its funding, its presence in the community and the station as a whole?
Vicki: KRCL is poised to build listenership, and we've already seen more than a 10,000-person jump in listeners over the past month or so, to 75,100. It's important that we invite new listeners to KRCL, and we're doing things that encourage sampling and getting listeners to listen for longer stretches of time. KRCL is fiscally healthy. Our presence and involvement in the community is a primary focus for us. This summer, you'll hear on-air features about the community throughout the day, and our plans include becoming much more visible in the community and active in issues that matter to our listeners.
Gavin: One of the biggest changes you made to the station when you joined was purchasing the NPR show World Cafe from Philadelphia. What specifically drew you toward that particular show, and what kind of appeal do you believe it has over other NPR music programs?
Vicki: We're thrilled to have the opportunity to bring World Cafe to the air. David Dye is one of the best interviewers in the business and the folks at World Cafe are able to secure acts and interviews that KRCL listeners want to hear. We've just added a new, live, local show weekdays from 5-6 a.m., Acoustic Sunrise, with John Florence. Many KRCL listeners remember John as a one-time host of Saturday Sage. John will also be live during World Cafe with traffic and weather.
Gavin: What was the initial reaction from the staff when you announced the change, and why did you choose to air it during the morning shift rather than make it a mid-day or afternoon show like many other stations have?
Vicki: The staff has wanted to bring World Cafe to the air for a long time, especially Jamie Gadette, who now hosts 8-11 a.m. She loves live music, and starting her show later in the morning allows her to get out and see lots more shows. We made the decision to air World Cafe weekday mornings from 6-8 to grow new listenership in those hours.
Gavin: Considering that X96 and KSL are the two biggest stations dominating the market with morning news/talk shows, why did you choose a music-centric talk show rather than find a formal talk show or build one from scratch?
Vicki: KRCL is a music-centric radio station. It makes sense for us to focus on music throughout the day.
Gavin: The other big change that wasn't officially announced was that on-air talent were being asked to play more commercially friendly music. What made you decide to take that direction with the music, and what kind of music is considered commercially friendly?
Vicki: No one was asked to play "more commercially friendly music." The staff got together and talked about the sound of the station and the quality of music we should be playing. We agreed the overall feel of the station should be consistent throughout the day.
Gavin: For a number of us in media, the word about the changes leaked out from KRCL staff and volunteers, with people having both positive and negative thoughts about it. What kind of a challenge is it for you to run the station when you know there are people working for you who don't agree with your decisions?
Vicki: We have a strong, cohesive staff and everyone recognized the need to build a more consistent sound weekdays. Our 40-plus volunteers who host each evening and throughout the weekend continue to be totally responsible for the music content of their shows.
Gavin: There's also been a large amount of positive feedback from people who like the new changes and have switched over to check out what you're doing now. What kind of listeners are you seeing switch over, and where are you seeing the best growth in the ratings compared to back in March?
Vicki: We hope people are finding the station and spending time with us. Our focus is on growing listenership overall, and primarily 25-40 year olds.
Gavin: What's your overall take on the feedback you've received from listeners, including the Change.org petition?
Vicki: There's a lot of misinformation floating out there. One thing is true -- KRCL listeners are passionate about the station they love.
Gavin: A lot of the complaints unfairly focused on you, trying to portray you as a "corporate manager" who doesn't know radio, even though you've had an extensive career. What was your take on being attacked by the listenership in that way, and how do you respond to your harshest critics?
Vicki: I've spent my adult life in radio ... it's MY passion. The staff and volunteers of KRCL strive for excellence every day. I welcome listeners to reach out to me at any time. My direct line is 801-834-6717. My e-mail address is vickim@krcl.org.
Gavin: Back in 2008, KRCL underwent a different kind of format change, which brought about the program blocks we know today with Jamie Gadette, Ebay Jamil and Bad Brad Wheeler. At first, there was a lot of public outcry, and then, over time, people came to accept it. Had you known about the station's history and backlash from 2008's changes, would you have held back on making changes so soon, or would you have stayed the course or perhaps even done them sooner?
Vicki: I am aware of the changes made in 2008. Building a new library from the ground up was a technical necessity and it takes a lot of time.
Gavin: Looking over the last month's worth of playlists, which you list on your website, beyond select shows in the evenings and overnights, Utah-based music has almost been completely removed from all the daytime shows. Why is a community music station not actively playing music from a community with a vibrant indie scene?
Vicki: We've begun to add local music into the new library. You'll hear more and more local music in the weeks ahead. It was never our intention to drop or reduce the number of local songs we play.
Gavin: With that in mind, why should any local band or musician submit their music to KRCL or support the station when they can see there's little support for the scene coming back?
Vicki: KRCL's music director, Ebay Hamilton, listeners to every local release that comes into the station, and during music meetings with Brad and Jamie, local songs are selected for airplay.
Gavin: More recently, KRCL launched a mobile app, which listeners had been demanding for over two years. Why did it take so long to finally launch the app, and what's the response been like since its release?
Vicki: The response to our new app is overwhelming. Finding an affordable was to create the app was a challenge. Interim GM Amy Dwyer worked tirelessly over the last year to launch the app and we couldn't be more pleased.
Gavin: Considering the fact that KRCL is a public station run off funding and grants with a mostly volunteer staff, how difficult is the challenge for you to be a force in a market where you're almost surrounded by corporate radio?
Vicki: Actually, most of our funding comes from our listeners and we couldn't run the station without our great volunteers. These days, it's a challenge for any radio station to gain traction in a very saturated market.
Gavin: What is your overall goal for KRCL as a station, and what do you hope to achieve during the next Radiothon and following into 2013?
Vicki: Our goal is produce a quality product with a community focus while growing audience and membership.
Gavin: What can we expect from both yourself and KRCL over the rest of the year?
Vicki: Community engagement. Product excellence.
Vicki: I'd like to say THANK YOU to the volunteers, staff and board of KRCL for their hard work and focus. And thanks to our great listeners for supporting 90.9 KRCL!

The Gilder Lehrman Center and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, with funding from the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation and the Mather Fund, created a new teacher education initiative, Lincoln and the Meaning of Emancipation, which was held at Yale University and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
This year-long series of lectures and workshops connected more recent emancipatory movements to the long history of slavery, emancipation, and abolition in the US and around the world. The program informed and trained teachers to see how Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation is situated within broader abolitionist movements, past and present. Lincoln and emancipation remain relevant today, not simply as moments for historical celebration, but also as touchstones and calls to action in the present.
The seven Yale University events were held at Luce Hall during the 2013-14 school year. The lecture/workshops were free to all educators. For more information visit our events page or contact Thomas Thurston at thomas.thurston@yale.edu.


This series is designed for those who would like to build a better home practice that will enable them to work on their specific areas of need. It will also help teachers design classes around their student's intentions and give them tools to create insightful sequences for people working toward particular goals. It will equip the instructor with key ingredients that will optimize time and effort put forth in a private sessions, so that their is a sense of moving forward with traction.
It will teach how to create a balanced practice with an enhanced awareness of how to open up lines of energy that will create space for a deeper embodiment of a given set of asanas. These skills will serve you immediately as well as years to come.
This class is for general practitioners looking to build a better home practice as well as teachers looking to build a better sequence. All levels welcome!
