These holiday performances, programs and exhibitions are stepping up to the pandemic's challenges to deliver traditions in less-than-traditional ways.
Art in the holiday season is built around traditions — Nutcrackers, Grinches, Messiah singalongs, carols or the storybooks and movies we turn to year after year. At the same time that it's harder to make, share and experience the arts this year during COVID-19's hold, the pandemic is also making it feel necessary to try celebrate and practice these arts traditions (plus some offbeat options) in whatever nontraditional ways we can.
Here are my picks for winter holiday arts productions, programs and exhibitions in the region. There's plenty of "Bah, humbug" to go around.
Music: Choral
SACRA/PROFANA, Free Virtual Holiday Concert: The San Diego choral ensemble has been producing new pieces via video throughout the pandemic, like their clever socially distant rendition of "Cars" by Gary Numan, and a spooky original piece, "In Times of Hibernation" that debuted at Halloween. You can catch a few of their new works from the recent season, recordings from prior holiday concerts and some pieces from an upcoming holiday album. Details: Saturday, Dec 12 at 7 p.m. Online. Free.
San Diego Women's Chorus, 'We Are Lights' Winter Holiday Concert: Catch one of two showings of the San Diego Women's Chorus' holiday production, which will stitch together new performances of holiday arrangements as well as segments from prior holiday shows. The program will also include ASL interpretation. Details: Saturday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. or Sunday, Dec 13 at 4 p.m. Online. Free.
San Diego Chorus of The Sweet Adelines International, 'Wish You Were Here' Holiday Show: A selection of new winter, Hanukkah and Christmas music, some "virtual postcards," and clips and favorites from prior performances — all sung in a cappella multi-part harmony. Important side note: You can order custom singing grams to be digitally delivered to friends, family or even your nemesis, near or far, with a personal message. Details: Saturday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Online. Free.
Bach Collegium, 'A Baroque Noel': Ring in the season with Bach and Vivaldi. A quartet of Bach Collegium's vocalists under the direction of artistic director Ruben Valenzuela will perform some traditional baroque pieces, and round out the evening with a talk from Bach scholar Daniel R. Melamed. The group is approaching this as a program video release, so you can tune in on "release day," or whenever is convenient for you. Details: Tuesday Dec. 22 from 4 p.m. on. Online. $25.

The San Diego Symphony will feature pianist Ray Ushikubo for a New Year's Eve performance.
Music: Classical
New Year's Eve With The San Diego Symphony: This is going to be a very special New Year's Eve. Nobody has any "better plans" so nobody has to play coy with committing to things, and we can all just stay home. Which means you can just plan to watch the San Diego Symphony's special New Year's Eve performance. Filmed from the concert hall in early December with social distancing measures in place, this broadcast will include traditional works and jazz-influenced compositions — Strauss waltzes, some music from Brahms' "Hungarian Dances," Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady," and will feature nineteen-year-old pianist Ray Ushikubo on Gerschwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Details: Thursday, Dec. 31. At 7:30 p.m. Online. $25.
Music: Rock/Pop, Show Tunes and Jazz
New Village Arts, 'Holly Jolly Cabaret': A virtual version of the north county theater company's annual holiday event, featuring showtunes, contemporary holiday hits and classics, plus a preview of NVA's forthcoming 2021 original musical — also holiday themed — called "1222 Oceanfront View: Home." Details: Viewable on demand, Dec. 14 through Dec. 31. Online. $10.
The Belly Up, 'A Very Metalachi Christmas': The popular heavy-metal-meets-mariachi cover band Metalachi comes to the Belly Up to put a very special twist on holiday cheer. Details: Saturday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Livestream. $15.
Jimmie Cannon Valley Jazz Band, Holiday Offerings: Imperial Valley's beloved Jimmie Cannon Valley Jazz Band will forgo their annual in-person holiday concert (this would be the 32nd year), but will be presenting an online video and new tracks released from their at-home sessions throughout the holiday season. The band is named in memory of Cannon, a long-time jazz advocate and performer in the Imperial Valley region who was band director and music teacher at Central Union High School in El Centro for three decades. Details: Learn more at their Facebook page here.
A photograph from the December 2018 production of San Diego Opera's "All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914."
San Diego Opera, 'All Is Calm' And Drive-In Singalong: After the success of their drive-in "La Boheme" performances this fall, the San Diego Opera will stage a special hybrid in the Del Mar Fairgrounds parking lot. Featuring a live singalong of some holiday tunes with members of the San Diego Opera Chorus (and being shut in your car means no pressure to measure up or even be in tune when you join in), and followed up with a filmed showing of their 2018 performance of "All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914." Set in the no-man's land in WWI, it's a story of unity and a Christmas tree to rival Linus' pitiful specimen. Details: Monday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar. $100-135 per car.
City Ballet of San Diego, Drive-in 'The Nutcracker' Ballet: There aren't many options for outdoor, live performances of The Nutcracker in town — or anywhere, but San Diego has a few drive-in choices. City Ballet's production is part of the Concerts in Your Car series and adjacent to the Drive-In Light Show (which you can add to your ticket for an extra $49 per car). City Ballet has done some inventive and resilient work during the pandemic so it's nice to see them tackle the drive-in format too. I love the "theatre-in-the-round" model, and being tucked away in your own car means that you can chat with your kids about the performance and story without getting shushed. Details: Saturday, Dec. 19 at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar. $99-249 per car.
Southern California Ballet, 'The Nutcracker' Virtual Field Trip: Ideal for grades 1-7, this grant-funded, free educational variation on the holiday favorite is interactive and asynchronous. Perfect for anyone's attention span and budget. Featuring narrated show excerpts of the ballet plus additional activities like movements, pantomime and costume design. For teachers, parents and community groups alike, and is a partnership with Southern California Ballet and Poway On Stage. Details: On demand through Dec. 18. Virtual. Free.

It blends storytelling and Hanukkah history with sleuthing, decoding and small enough groups to promote audience participation. Details: Multiple production time slots through Friday Dec. 18. Virtual. $15.
North Coast Repertory Theatre, 'A Christmas Carol': This filmed, staged version of the classic stars James Newcomb in a one-man adaptation by Zander Michaelson. Details: Streams on demand through Dec. 31. $35.

La Jolla Playhouse, Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' Starring Jefferson Mays: This one-actor production was filmed at New York's United Palace theater, and it's part of a partnership between La Jolla Playhouse, producer Hunter Arnold's TBD Pictures and On The Stage, the streaming and production platform. Mays is hypnotic in his run as Ebenezer Scrooge (et al). It's a rich and spooky production, playing up the terror of these hauntings with some fun special visual and sound effects. Details: Streams on demand through January 3. $50.
Cygnet Theatre, 'It's a Wonderful Life' Radio Play: Need a break from Scrooge yet? This classic story is reimagined as a 1940s radio play in this adaptation by Joe Landry, also directed by Sean Murray. Cygnet has tackled this before, in a staged form in 2011. Also, Cygnet is offering free tickets to the first 25 KPBS friends who reserve virtual tickets. Use promo code KPBS25 at checkout. Details: Streams on demand Monday, Dec. 14 through Dec. 27. $20.
The Old Globe, The Poet's Tree Holiday Special: Gill Sotu has hosted this new weekly program throughout the fall, and the season wraps up with a holiday special. Sotu's guest will be Kendrick Dial, a Navy veteran, poet, actor, musician and counselor, and is also a teaching artist at the Globe. The show will include the usual discourse on modern poetry, interview with the guest and weekly prompts, but will also feature a special holiday-themed performance. Details: Tuesday Dec. 15 at 5:30 p.m. Online. Free.
'It's A Wonderful Life,' Virtual Table Read: Karolyn Grimes is the actress who played the Christmas-saving kid in the original 1946 movie, "It's a Wonderful Life." She's all grown up now and participating in a live table read of the script with a bunch of Hollywood stars, like Mia Farrow, Ellie Kemper, Ed Begley Jr., Bill Pullman and more, directed by Victor Nelli. Brought to us virtually from LA-based Ed Asner Family Center. Details: Sunday Dec. 13 at 5 p.m. Online. $50.
A Charlie Brown Christmas on KPBS: The ultimate antidote to the commercial racket. And since we can't put on our own holiday theatrical performances, at least we can live vicariously through some Charlie Brown-directed rehearsals and set design. Details: Sunday, Dec. 13 at 5:30 p.m. on KPBS and 7:30 p.m. on PBSKIDS. Free.

San Diego Watercolor Society, 'Solstice Shadow': Click your way through dozens of watercolor paintings in a variety of styles for the December rendition of the SDWS monthly member show, completely online. Bonus: I counted at least three cats. Details: On view through Saturday, Dec. 26. Virtual. Free.
Trash Lamb Gallery, 'Less than an Old Pair of Centenaries': This newly minted South Park gallery and shop recently installed their second exhibition, which is curated and priced with the intent to sell right off the walls as you browse. The pieces are all easily shippable too. Note that the gallery doesn't censor anything, bends toward the surreal, absurd and crude, and no minors will be allowed in without adult accompaniment… ideal if you need a break from the more saccharine brand of holiday spirit. Details: Limited viewing/shopping hours Thursday through Sunday 11-6, or by appointment. 2365 30th St., South Park.
The Old Globe Marketplace: Find dozens of goods and services made by the theater's staff and artists, and directly support the creative people currently facing their 9th month without conventional theatrical work.

Shipping magnate Abdul Qadir Rahman Buhari, the Managing Director of The West Asia Maritime International is beginning to raise a few eyebrows in the shipping corridors. In his dogged pursuit of owning ships and winning contracts, the captain of the Chennai-based Corporation has sealed yet another tender floated by the Tamil Nadu Electrical Board which, sources say is tailor-made for Mr Buhari's self-unloading bulk carrier – the Gem of Ennore, which is intended to move thermal coal from Paradip in Orissa to Ennore/Tuticorin/Karaikal.
The haulier is currently time-chartered by the Tamil Nadu State-owned Poompuhar Shipping Corporation and its 10-year charter period ends Sept/Oct, 2012.
Interestingly, the TNEB's fresh tender appears to be designed in such a way that no other ship in India has the capacity to bid for it (the tender for the contract has specifically asked for a self unloader feature on the vessel). It's a home-run for the Gem of Ennore and a smooth transition from one deal to another.
One happens to wonder how a credible agency like PSCL, hired by TNEB for its coal procurement, can be so short-sighted while selecting a vendor. In a country that depends on its coasts for a wide variety of goods, it's appalling to observe errors in judgement in significant projects with massive financial ramifications.
There is a project that is currently underway to install two gantry cranes at the Ennore port for discharging gearless vessels. The venture is expected to be completed in under 2 years' time.
The TNEB, amusingly, has brought out a 5-year charter period. The value of a self unloader becomes moot in two years (the gantry cranes are being installed to do exactly what an unloader does). Therefore, the un-loader becomes redundant for the next three years (more of an additional burden to TNEB) and these are the years when the charter hire (around Rs. 20 lakhs plus per day) are 30% to 40% higher than the current rate.
Additionally, infrastructure (gantry cranes) built at huge costs will be under-utilised. These are the years, when having two gearless panamaxes will be financially more viable and sensible than operating the un-loader. In fact, chartering of two gearless vessels to achieve and maintain the same level of transport and supply efficiency at comparable costs would make more economic sense than a self unloader, especially since the gantry cranes are scheduled to come up within two years.
The gantry cranes are being built at the cost of the taxpayers' money and the government ought to look into it and plug the loophole. Interestingly, the Gem of Ennore was converted more than 10 years ago to suit the requirements of charter.
It was built as a gearless Panamax in 2000 at the Hitachi Zosen Shipyard in Japan. In 2001, she was converted to a self-unloader with cranes and conveyor in China, exclusively for carrying thermal coal from Paradip port in Orissa to Ennore in Tamil Nadu for the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. One wonders if the West Asia Maritime Ltd had an idea of things to come in future.
There are zero opportunities for the other bidders for whom there is no level-playing field. Comparatively, the rate for a charter hire per day is Rs. 14.49 lakh for GoE while a gearless panamax rate is 5.35 lakhs. It is evident that the cost per ton to TNEB on the unloader is much higher than carrying the coal on gearless panamaxes.
Why not float a tender for a period of one year instead of tying it down for five years? Even if TNEB considers chartering a self un-loader, the period should be limited to one year only and reviewed for continuation in 2013, considering the fast-changing ground realities.
The vessel has to be provided within the lay days which are less than two months away. A major conversion such as this takes no less than 5 to 6 months. Therefore, there is a conflict here. The chartering negotiations were going on as of 3rd week of July and the vessel is required no later than 15th October.
One cannot help but wonder about the track record of the shipping giant. WAMSPL (Singapore) entered into two contracts with Euroceanica, UK, in 2008 for the time-charter of 2 19,800 DWT chemical tankers – namely 'LBU Onyx' and 'JBU Opal' for a period of 5 years. WAMPSL is a subsidiary of West Asia and accordingly West Asia, Chennai, provided performance guarantees for each ship.
'LBU Onyx' and 'JBU Opal' were delivered to WAMSPL by Euroceanica in September 2008 and April 2009, respectively. The charter parties for the two vessels had a balance of approximately 32 months and 39 months to be performed when things started to go wrong.
WAMPSL failed to pay hire rates on time under both the contracts, as a result of which, Euroceanica arrested MV 'Gem of Safaga' in Australia as a security for their claim in November 2009.
Our Hike Metal ship and boatbuilding factory manufactures a variety of Workboats outside of the Law Enforcement Industry, which bolster our over-all Custom Commercial Boatbuilding performance. We are also a preferred supplier to the Fire Departments around the world for their Fire-Boats, like the heavy duty 90′ NFPA Type III Fire-Boat recently delivered to the Chicago Fire Department (CFD), and the 90 ft Custom Class "A" Fire-Boat delivered to the Baltimore City Fire Department.

Jungheinrich will complete a sale of assets and the virtual relocation of its factory store in Cincinnati to Equipment Depot of Ohio around March 1, 2009. The restructuring and transition to Equipment Depot of Ohio is a very significant and positive step for Jungheinrich's business growth in this region, as this agreement allows Jungheinrich to extend its reach to many more potential customers, and provides opportunities for further expansion in the Northeast.
Equipment Depot's dealer network in North America has achieved over $400 million in sales and employs 1,750 personnel. The network consists of five regional equipment dealers with 40 locations in 12 states, including the former Portman Equipment Company, recently renamed Equipment Depot of Ohio. The overall network locations span f r o m the Midwest to the Northeast, as well as a South Central region.
Equipment Depot is owned by the Pon family and is one of the world's largest family-owned businesses. Ed Neyer, President and CEO of Equipment Depot, stated "Jungheinrich is truly a premier lift truck brand which now provides our customers with a broad selection of quality order pickers, reach trucks and other lift trucks for their warehousing needs. Their feature-rich line of turret trucks will be an exciting addition to our systems group, and will boost our ability to help customers optimize the flow of material in their warehouses and distribution centers. We welcome Jungheinrich to our successful organization and expect them to be a significant contributor to our continued growth." Neyer also pledged to maintain the 'local intimacy' that has become the hallmark of the Pon family's success as they sell and service Jungheinrich lift truck vehicles for customers.
All current customer contracts and agreements with the Jungheinrich factory store, including rental contracts, will be transferred and supported by Equipment Depot.
For more information about this new dealership agreement, contact Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., 5601 Eastport Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23231. Call: 804-737-7400. Fax: 804-737-7467, or, visit the website at http://www.jungheinrich-us.com.
Jungheinrich is the world leader in warehouse logistics technology. Founded over fifty years ago, the company has grown f r o m its beginnings as a European manufacturer of materials handling equipment to an international supplier of industrial trucks, warehousing technology and materials-flow products. Today, it is a major supplier of forklift trucks around the globe, and offers a complete range of materials handling equipment, rack systems and services related to manufacturing logistics.
Jungheinrich's growth has been due in large part to the high value it has always placed on leading-edge design and technological innovation. This is seen, for example, in the company's proprietary 3-phase AC motor and controller technology, and in a host of productivity and ergonomic enhancements. Jungheinrich has more than 120 strategically-located service support centers and store operations in the U.S., and sales and service companies in countries around the industrialized world.
Equipment Depot was founded in 1975 as Central Texas Clarklift in Waco and Austin, Texas. It changed its name to Equipment Depot in 1995 to better reflect the company's expanded product and service capabilities. In August 2000 it was acquired by Pon North America. Today, the five regional companies that make up the Equipment Depot dealer network represent more than 50 industry leading manufacturers – providing sales and service coverage in about 25% of the country with more than 40 locations in 12 states. Service vans with colorful racing decals are a familiar sight throughout its sales, rental and service areas.
In the past year the Equipment Depot dealer network exceeded $420 million in sales. It employs more than 1,750 employees, including more than 900 factory-trained service technicians. It offers 24/7 equipment service f r o m more than 600 radio-dispatched service vehicles. Additionally, it has more than 26,500 customer-owned units covered by service contracts. It has more than 800 units of used equipment in inventory as well as more than 7,500 units in its short-term rental fleet.
If you're a company that currently operates pantograph reach trucks, you're likely seeking higher residual capacities at high lift heights in narrow aisles, as well as fewer repairs to the load wheels and the reach mechanisms on your vehicles. If so, the ETM/ETV 214/216 mast-moving AC reach trucks f r o m Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp. are an excellent solution for you.
The increased load capacity and lift height of these trucks is a direct result of their design function, which inserts and removes loads by moving their masts rather than extending or retracting their forks via a pantograph mechanism. "The absence of a pantograph contributes greatly to improved operator confidence and productivity, since the view afforded the operator through the mast and fork carriage is much better, and the fork tips are easier to see," adds Greg Mason, General Manager of Products and Training at Jungheinrich.
The ETVs differ f r o m the ETMs in having more widely spaced outriggers (also called base-legs). Both models offer a choice of mast tilt, but the wider ETV is also available with fork tilt above certain lift heights. In addition, both chassis are available with patented mast-reach cushioning, which means the reaching and retracting of the mast assembly is smooth and precise. Integrated side-shifters are a standard feature on the trucks.
"Another way the ETM/ETV trucks differ f r o m pantograph designs is that the operator sits down to drive the vehicle. This configuration is ergonomically preferable in operations where the operator stays on the truck for long periods of time rather than constantly getting on and off," states Greg Mason. The operator compartment has a low entry height, and the seat, armrest, and steering wheel are all adjustable. The trucks' centrally-located MULTI-PILOT control lever activates all hydraulic functions, as well as travel direction and the horn. The controls are organized in a logical, highly visible manner, providing greater efficiency via the potential for simultaneous use of two hydraulic functions (e.g., lifting and reaching). The operator display is also centrally-positioned, and clearly shows both operational and safety-related data. It allows various travel programs to be selected or adjusted at the touch of a button.
Since the load wheels on these mast-moving reach trucks have a large diameter, they can negotiate rough floor surfaces better than those on most pantograph models. This means a longer tire life due to less wear, and reduced potential for damage – as well as a smoother ride. And the Curve Control program on the ETM/ETV trucks automatically reduces travel speed when cornering for added stability. This type of speed reduction is not typically found on pantograph-style reach trucks.
Jungheinrich's proprietary 3-phase AC technology, present in the trucks' drive, lift and steering systems, offers users higher efficiency and longer operating times per battery charge. Less maintenance, or downtime, is the result of the absence of carbon brushes, brush springs or commutators in the AC motors. Another key operational benefit of AC technology is that it leads to powerful acceleration and quick directional changes without hesitation. Energy reclamation during braking is a standard feature on the trucks, and energy reclamation during load lowering is an option.
For more information about these reach trucks, contact Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., 5601 Eastport Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23231. Call: 804-737-7400. Fax: 804-737-7467, or, visit the website at jungheinrich-us.com.

Africa: signs of hope?

The dawning of the 21st century generally brought new hope to African leaders and countless thousands of ordinary citizens of many countries on the continent. The first signs of a new turn of events shone through by the end of the last decade of the previous century. This was manifested by economic growth rates that started to pick up in a number of African states, by pro-democracy movements which in country after country succeeded in replacing authoritarian regimes, and by the winding down and termination of some of Africa's most devastating wars.
The results of this analysis confirm the above-mentioned positive political, economic and conflict trends in Africa. It is clearly a significant turn of events given the well-known political and economic predicament with which Africa is struggling. When this negative legacy and Cold War background of Africa is considered, the importance of present developments is clear to see. The identified heightened sense of purpose among the leaders and peoples of Africa and the changed mood and need among Africans to take charge of their own future that found expression in the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) are indeed significant and bode well for the future of the continent.
A word of warning here is, however, necessary. Our conduct with Africa must be very cautious and we must guard against over-optimism and the exaggerated belief that Africa is now on a trajectory of sustained development and peace. We cannot generalise about Africa – for that the continent is just too big and diverse from a geographical, cultural, economic and political point of view.

FIRE permits from Bundaberg to the Sunshine Coast have been suspended.
Earlier this morning, Queensland Fire and Emergency Service banned all fires in Bundaberg, North Burnett, South Burnett, Fraser Coast, Gympie, Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.
"Permit holders in these areas are asked not to undertake their burns while this suspension is in place," a QFES statement read.
The order, made in anticipation of a significant wind change expected tomorrow, will be in place until further notice.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, a very dry air mass will be moving through Local Government Areas from Bundaberg to the Sunshine Coast from about midday onward tomorrow.
The south westerly wind change is expected to trigger extremely gusty conditions on Sunday and possibly into Monday.
"It'll be a pretty windy day and it'll be very dry tomorrow too," Meteorologist David Crock said.
"It will hang around for part of Monday and there'll be lots of wind warnings in place in coastal areas as well."
Mr Crock said BoM often liaised with QFES, who typically put fire bans in place based on meteorologists' advice.
Today's temperatures are well above average throughout the Wide Bay Burnett region.
The average maximum temperature for Bundaberg this time of year is 23.5 degrees. Today's max is 29.
"It's well above average and tomorrow it'll be warm again," Mr Crock told the NewsMail.
"But that wind will bring with it a much cooler and dryer airmass and temperatures will start to drop."

Alan Jones sponsor boycott ends as advertisers return to 2GB
October 16, 2012 1:04
by Georgina Pearson
Several advertisers that pulled sponsorship from the Alan Jones 2GB breakfast show have returned to the program this morning, the station has confirmed.
MRN executive chairman Russell Tate said: "This morning we resumed advertising in the Breakfast Show. We will continue to keep all lines of communication open."
The return comes after the radio personality made inflammatory comments at a Sydney University political gathering, prompting a mass advertiser walkout and causing the station to make the unprecedented move of suspending all advertising on the show.
Tate added: "Advertising was suspended on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show for over a week. Our main aim was to call "time" on the business disruption and threats being made to our advertisers. As importantly, it gave us the chance to hear the views of those who choose to listen to Alan Jones."
However, protest group 'Destroy The Joint', which put out a call to advertisers to withdraw their backing from the show, today announced on its Facebook page that advertiser Suzuki will not be returning to MRN.
Brand such as Woolworth's, ING direct and Freedom Furniture are among those that withdrew, costing the station an estimated $2 million per month in loss, the SMH reports.

There's corporate responsibility for you. Companies won't support hatemongering, incitement to violence and blatant misogyny…while it's in the headlines.
Smoking Parrot 16 Oct 12
Wow, to "hear the voices of those who choose listen to Alan Jones"!! They'd be a diverse bunch of Mensa graduates. Did they blame it all on Juliar? I should stop now, Alan is so powerful.
Robbo 16 Oct 12
A blow for the 'click and it means something' brigade, sitting in front of their computers in their undies, slinging off at their favourite targets in the deluded belief they're actually Making A Difference.
Don't particularly like Jones, but this story made my day.
Cameron 16 Oct 12
@Sancho Clearly they do respond to hatemongering- Destroy the Joint bullied them into going back off air.
Daniel Petre 16 Oct 12
I don't really understand what Mr Tate is suggesting. He claims the removal of advertising was to stop threats being made to adverstisers. I think this is a tad ridiculous…Sure there may have been a couple of nutters who made inappropriate comments to advertisers but I suspect the VAST majority were just saying that they thoought it was inappropriate for company X to advertise on the Alan Jones show…Seems to me that the "damage" being done in any business sense was to the the Alan Jones show and 2GB which, given the station was happy to employ someone who would continue to make such appalling comments, seems justifable…i.e. if you are prepared to provide air time to someone who seems focused on creating angst, anxiety and division in our society then do not be surprised when revenue shifts as a function of advertisers deciding not to have their brands associated with people like Alan Jones….
Consumer 16 Oct 12
@Sancho, very depressing isn't it. Just how shallow are these companies when it comes to meaningful social responsibility? "Hey Alan, don't worry mate, we'll just return when the furore dies down. No-one will notice!" Anyone have a list of his radio sponsors so I know which products not to buy?
Richard Nixon 16 Oct 12
God bless the ad industry. An industry like no other for it's commitment to the truth, honesty , morals and the essence of fair play. No wonder we are adored.

The vocal minority telling us what we should and shouldn't do.
chris mitchell 16 Oct 12
To err is human, to forgive divine (or so the saying goes). Never get between commercial interests and the moral high ground. At least now Alan's 168,000 listeners will have ad breaks, just like everybody else.
Matt 16 Oct 12
What a bunch of self righteous plonkers! Gen ' i care about my fellow man' Y by any chance? Meaningful social responsibility'? I almost fell off my chair laughing. Here's the deal. People make silly comments all the time. How many of us have said something and then thought ' that was wrong I never should have said that'. Alan Jones is not an angel but just to add some balance to this pointless drivel he is also a man who does an enormous amount of charity work to help the poor and dispossessed. That to me is more important than any of the nonsense that he often spouts. As for all the silly comments I've been reading if any of you lot do half the good work for the community Jones does then you've got the right to slander the man. If not just get on with it.
won't be bullied 16 Oct 12
Give me a list of those advertisers sticking with 2GB and the Jones program and i'll specifically choose to buy from them. Don't want to listen to Jones, but also don't want a bunch of self-righteous bullies telling people what they can and can't do based on their particular moral compass. Get a life losers.
Rachel 16 Oct 12
Have boycotting sponsors and advertisers returned to the 2GB breakfast show? Or, has 2GB lifted suspension of advertising, thus allowing the sponsors and advertisers who weren't electing to boycott the show to return to air? A rather confusing and sensationalist story I reckon
Tbone 16 Oct 12
@Geepers: "The vocal minority telling us what we should and shouldn't do."
Kinda like government, religious groups, columnists in newspapers, people with radio programmes…
OMG 16 Oct 12
@ Robbo you say that like its a bad thing.
All those 'normal' people having a 'voice', ..really .. you're right it's outrageous.
YOU MUST HAVE MONEY IN ORDER TO BE HEARD (that better?)
@Geepers thats the kind of throw away line your mate Robbo hates. Looks like you clicked.. but still made no difference.
Most of us simply enjoy the fact that currently, in order to get your voice heard in the media, you no longer need to have a large marketing budget .
Must frighten the bejesus out of the old school.
Linny 16 Oct 12
I could ot bring myself to tune into 2GB today – so can anyone provide a list of advertisers who did feature. I will certainly contact them to suggest they get off Jone's and Hadley's slots permanently.
Anyone read Neil Chenoweth's article in Monday's Fin Review? In it he refers to Rod Tiffen (consultant on the Finkelstein media review) who states …..'Both (2GB and Fox News) work on polarising the community and reinforcing prejudices'.
Tate has the audacity to attribute 2GB's success to the station being 'first choice for informed debate in times of national significance'.
@Geepers – its way more democratic than giving a total bully a radio frequency.

Leave Alan alone. He is, without a doubt, the funniest breakfast show on Sydney radio. All those fake callers who believe the carbon tax is the greatest threat our nation has ever faced are hilarious. The Alan Jones show is laugh out loud stuff!!
Mercedes Driver 16 Oct 12
I parked my car this morning and took up two parking spaces. I just do not care, I think that I am far too important.
As for 2GB and advertisers; well 2GB does rely on advertising dollars to make money and they have an audience of people (who mainly sit listening in their underpants waiting for their next welfare cheque) who spend some money on things like Snuggies and other really useful stuff, so I guess that advertisers were going to advertise again were they not?
Right, I am off to drive my car, I wont be indicating much and I will probably cut in front of people and drive very antisocially, because again I just don't give a fck about you, about society, about anything!
paul 16 Oct 12
@ Linny. I could ot bring myself to tune into 2GB today – so can anyone provide a list of advertisers who did feature
So why should it bother you who advertises on the station if you didn't listen. By not listening means you don't know the advertisers and won't have to action anything…
Adam Paull 16 Oct 12
I don't really understand why sponsors would get back on board with this guy, especially after he tore the head off that Mercedes manager on-air. Do his 160k daily listeners have that much purchasing power? Is it really worth the trouble?
Still, I could never understand the attraction in the first place – if someone dumps an enormous pile of shit at the end of my street, some people may well stop and look at it, but why would a company want to put their logo on it?
GetReal 16 Oct 12
Reality is that a number of those Alan Jones advertisers are again being targeted and being forced to pull their advertising, or at least reconsider their position on the AJ program . Morality aside, this isn't over for 2GB advertisers whether they like it or not and whether you or I like it or not.
Rushdie 16 Oct 12
@Linny
'Tate said 2GB is "first choice for informed debate in times of national significance"!
You serious?! They're Informed by the right-wing nutbaggery of Singo and his magnate mate. And Tate's taking a liberty calling it debate. Every tried to ring 2GB with an opposing view? It's just don't tolerated, like some sort of middle eastern regime. It goes against the licensing mandate requiring radio stations to attempt balanced coverage on controversial issues. How do they keep their licence? I just don't get it.
Hoin 16 Oct 12
The ads haven't returned completely. 2GB is blocking out ads on the webstream and replacing them with silence. A pretty good strategy for thwarting the moronic "I don't listen to him but I hate his opinions and supporters" brigade outside of Sydney.
Hopefully when the left wingers and politically correct have moved on and get all uppity when their beloved ABC screens the next Animals Australia video we can have all the ads back everywhere. Then the bully wimps can do what the rest of us do when we don't like something – change channels.
Ann 16 Oct 12
Alan Jones ratings in this survey must go up, as they are calculated differently to TV. Therefore he will be able to charge more. I think I know who the ultimate winner is.
Tops 16 Oct 12
Leave Alan Jones alone! He is the best talkback host on radio. At least with him around we know what is going on. Advertisers – shame on you. You are only showing how weak you are by allowing somebody who has nothing better to do, to bully you.
Would somebody please think of the children? 16 Oct 12
Net nanny 2.0….
While I don't agree with jones, and never will, when did we all start being so fucking offended?
And what happens when you're offended? It's not like you wake up with leprosy in the morning. Indignance is the curse of social media. Be offended, try it. You want to live in a free society, and have rights, but never want to be offended?
You're a fucking idiot then.
JG 16 Oct 12
Rushdie. Yes I have tried. No I was bum-rushed. Simply tell the panel operator you AGREE and then go for it if you do get on.
I doubt this thing one is going to go away as quickly as Macquarie's Tate thinks. I still reckon Jones is going to be toast!
BTW: FT's company profile service (http://markets.ft.com/Research.....?s=MRN:ASX) reports that
Mr. Russell Tate is the Executive Non-Independent Chairman of the Board of Macquarie Radio Network Limited. He has over 25 years experience in the advertising industry. Most recently, he served as Chief Executive Officer of STW Communications Group Limited between 2001 and 2005 and was appointed Executive Chairman of that company in January 2006. Russell remained in that role until June 2008 when he stepped down to Non-executive Deputy Chairman. In addition to that continuing role, Russell is also the Chairman of Pleasure State Pty Limited ….
FYI: Pleasure State is half a notch below Victoria's Secret in the pervy lingerie trade. Which may or may not be relevant here, but it seems to be a fact, and as Gerard Henderson argued to me recently, that's enough reason to mention it.
Needless to say the 'Groucho' that posted at 4:45 16/10/12 is not the real one but the cashew sized dick without the wit to have his own identity.Typical Jones fan I would have thought. How about giving us your views on climate change lifted from a Forsythe novel, insulting the bereved PM, or just being a horrible little twat under your own identity?
George Carroll 17 Oct 12
Well done MRN. Alan will go on, as he has done for decades. He is popular becasue he speaks for the silent majority. Unlike the people who support the hate filled Destroy The Joint page and the other associated bitter campaigns. They will all wallow in their misery and continue to support the left wing socailists views they aspire to. Tall poppy syndrome at work yet again in this otherwise great country of Australia. Go Alan! Go 2GB and the MRN.
Leon 17 Oct 12
Yes @Rachel exactly. For some reason Mumbrella seems to be taking a position on this issue rather than reporting, and using this opportunity to confuse (and clearly from the responses they've succeeded in confusing their readers). 2GB is choosing to run advertising again on the show, the boycotting advertisers have not chosen to return. Huge difference.
And what's with all the pro-Jones trolls in here. Is someone doing a bit of organising of their own? Hard to believe the sentiment of Mumbrella readers has done a 180 in the last week.
LW 17 Oct 12
I think 'cashew-sized dick' may be my favourite insult ever. Well-played, Original Groucho.
Jess B 17 Oct 12
@leon what are you confused about? Most of the sponsors that pulled put have come back, and the station has resumed its advertising. Simple.
Leon,
why do people posting a view other than your own have to be trolls?
and LDO, Mumbrella are posting so much Jones content because they are a media company and want people coming to their site

Bob 18 Oct 12
I'm just shocked people still listen to the radio!
Given you can buy music for $0.99 these days, and there's heaps of crazy right-wing blogs online (if you're into that sorta stuff), seems odd anyone would still bother with the radio.
JohnW 18 Oct 12
Hey Paul, Macquarie's Tate doesn't care if this doesn't go away. I thought all us bright advertisng folks knew the M.O behind this fracas. This is all a stunt cooked up by Singo and Tate to keep listeners bolted on and boost ratings. Take the high moral ground? I used to work with Tate, he'll tell you himself he's only interested in making money and as a public company Director is duty bound to do that. Its a stunt.
not sure Oscar, although you'd need a pretty strong magnifiying glass to see me doing anything other than asking a question.
you on the other hand bounded right in and tried to turn my question back into trolling.
Peter Rush 18 Oct 12
Ok, we're done with Jones, there's now another person more deserving of the Gillard basher spotlight. He's Paul Whittaker, editor of the Daily Telegraph, who chose to publish a picture of the Prime Minister face down on the ground after her fall yesterday. And then took up another page showing the fall in three stages. It's humiliation, It's un-Australian, and you seriously have to wonder about the motives of the person who approved it. Political bias is one thing, but this is appalling. Let the boycott on the Telegraph's advertisers begin. Paul Whittaker has to go.
As has been said in the classics ….
There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is …..
not being talked about.
FYI. Not a troll.
Peter, you'll need to boycott Foxtel, Channel 7 and 9 as well then
John Grono 18 Oct 12
Given that ACMA has ordered Jones to undergo 'factual accuracy' training (I hope Frederick Forysth can be at the training to explain that he writes fiction), maybe Jones should also be made to refer to the Prime Minsiter as Julia-factually-inaccuate-on-this-occasion. At least that would slow the Parrot's torrent down.
They all showed it in passing, not as the lead story, not in slow mo.
Fact Checker 26 Oct 12
To the numerous people quoting audience figures around 160,000, you need to develop a better understanding of surveys. The 160,000 figure is what is known as the average audience which means the average number listening at any one time. The majority of people who listen to Alan Jones show and any other breakfast radio show do not listen to the whole show and so the number of people listening at any one time does not reflect the total audience. At the last survey, there were 442,000 people listening to Alan Jones in Sydney alone – this number is referred to in the surveys as the cumulative audience.
Survey Understander 28 Oct 12
Fact Checker, while your interpretation of average audience and cumulative audience is correct, your implied inference is not
Using the most recent Sydney survey, Alan Jones' average session cumulative audience was 442,000 people, while his average session average audience was 151,000 people. In layman terms that means on a typical day 442,000 people listen to part (i.e. at least 15 minutes) of the 3.5 hours he is on air. If you look across the 3.5 hours the average for any minute he is on air is 151,000. (In fact, the ratio implies that the average listener listens for just over a third of the show or just under an hour).
Quoting the cumulative audience (because it is the higher number) is best looked at the 'peak possible' audience. The average audience represents the most likely estimate for any given moment during the show. 151,000 is the more representative figure.
Calculus 31 Oct 12
@ Fast Checker and Survey Understander
Surveys are designed to make radio / tv / print numbers appeal to advertisers. It is all wish wash, fudged, invented and pardon my French; bollocks.
I am not saying that placing advertisements in these mediums cannot be effective, however any of these numbers quoted should be taken with a pinch of salt. (A bit like the tooth fairy, Santa and dare I say it, the bloke who created earth a few thousand years ago in 6, or was it 7 days?
77.7recurring% of stats are made up………………
Right I am off to look at some dinosaur footprints. (No sponsors on these babies.)
Calculus, you are right that the surveys are 100% about advertising dollars.
It's just a pity that you are such a cynic to think that they are fudged, invented and bollocks. Do you really think that advertisers would spend billions of dollars across all the media and not want some degree of confidence in their audience measurement?
Sure they still are just estimates (which is sufficient upon which to trade), but that does not make them wrong. I'm 95% certain they are more reliable than your opinion.

Social Security relocation plan opposed in Sussex County
By James Fisher
Sussex County officials say they're lobbying two federal agencies not to move the county's Social Security Administration office from northern Georgetown to a spot west of Lewes.
The SSA office will move to a leased location in The Vineyards at Nassau Valley, a partially constructed development on U.S. 9 west of the Five Points interchange, by next summer, said Gina Blyther Gilliam, a spokeswoman for the federal government's General Services Administration.
That spot is many miles to the east of the current office in Georgetown. Lewes is a less convenient place to put the office, U.S. Rep. John Carney said in a letter to Sara Manzano-Diaz, a regional administrator for the GSA.
"Moving the SSA office to Lewes would require Delawareans in western Sussex County to travel more than twice the distance to obtain needed services," Carney said in his letter. "The location also has limited bus service for those without cars or seniors who do not drive."
The next-nearest office for Sussex Countians is in Salisbury, Md., Carney noted.
Carney's letter also complained that the federal agencies didn't notify enough people in Sussex County they were considering the move.
"My office has heard from many Sussex County residents, as well as local officials, that no public input was sought before this proposed change," he said.
County Councilman Vance Phillips said he strongly opposed the move because Lewes-area roads can be quite crowded in the summer, and he didn't want people in his southern Sussex County district to have to drive there to get Social Security help.
"The idea of traveling north on Route 1 in the summertime to get to the Social Security office is almost nightmarish," Phillips said. "It's more convenient for most of the county to go to Georgetown."
Gilliam, in a statement Wednesday, said the move "is a result of an open and competitive procurement for leased space that meets the Social Security Administration's space requirements, accommodates their regional operations and offered the lowest overall commercial rent rate to the government."
Todd Lawson, the Sussex County administrator, told Council members he'd been told by the SSA and GSA "there were a number of issues at play, including cost of real estate, survey of SSA users and staff and additional factors" that prompted the move.
The Council voted to ask its congressional delegation to protest the move. But Councilwoman Joan Deaver, in whose district the new office would be located, didn't support that motion.
"I suspect it's something to save money. If it is, I like it," Deaver said.

Q: GTX1070 HDMI driver crashes So, basically after clean install of Windows 10, I found out that my screen isn't working with it properly.
The screen is perfectly fine when connected over HDMI with my Laptop, however when connecting it to the desktop PC over same HDMI cable, is works with a bit of pixel loss (weird yellow/blue pixels distorting some of the image, the color is basically the negative of the color it's supposed to show, sort of inverted, a picture of it is available HERE) for a few minutes then black screen. After reviewing the device Event log, it seems there's an issue causing it to crash, the log says "Device install required - Requieres further installation". Another monitor works fine when connected to the GPU with DVI. HDMI port seems fine to me and based on situation. It seems to me that it's strictly the HDMI Driver.
I've tried uninstalling the driver with DDU twice with a restart, just in-case to make sure the driver is completely gone.
I've performed clean install of the latest Geforce driver and it's still the same.
When no geforce driver is installed (therefore relying on the native Windows basic display driver), thte HDMI doesn't work completely.
Any idea of how this can be fixed? RMA isn't an option since it quite past the time frame for it, also the GPU doesn't seems to be the issue, but rather the HDMI port's driver.
Any help would be highly appreciated!

Q: How to measure temporary drop in voltage with meter What's the easiest way to measure the period of time between the "peaks" when a 5V DC signal goes from high to low to high?
I'm trying to debug a power-loss problem, and one of the solutions I'm considering is decoupling the power input by adding a capacitor across the VCC and Gnd pins, but I need to know how long the power drop lasts in order to choose an appropriate capacitance.
I have a Fluke multimeter and a DS202 DSO, but I'm not familiar with using either for this type of measurement, nor can I find anything in their manuals that explicitly tell me how to make this type of measurement.

A: Normally you'd use an oscilloscope with a suitable bandwidth. For example, an inexpensive 50MHz digital scope would reproduce a 1usec drop fairly well. If that DS thing has a 1MHz bandwidth, then you should be fine if the drop is > 50usec.
Most digital scopes allow you to see what happened just before the trigger, so you should look at your manual to see how to do that. That allows you to trigger a single sweep from the drop in voltage and see the entire event displayed.

A: Your DSO is the best tool for this job.
Spend some time reading the instruction manual for your scope.  Learn how to set up the trigger stage to NOT auto-run and set the trigger settings for:  Falling Edge, DC-coupled, Trigger voltage just below normal DC voltage.
You should have no problem seeing the low-voltage transient when it occurs.  Adjust the horizontal timebase so that you can see the leading edge of the transient as well as how fast the voltage recovers back to it's normal value.
Learning to use your scope is a very important step in your learning.  With practice, you will find it to be probably the most useful instrument on your bench.  It certainly is on my bench: I use the scope all the time for making even routine measurements on whatever I'm working on.  My multimeter gets used when I need very accurate voltage readings or if I am measuring resistance values.

A: Contrary to the other opinions, I found my DSO is not able to capture the signal between peaks. It has a trigger function, and I could capture a single drop curve or a single rise curve, but I could find no way to do both, much less measure the precise time between them.
I ended up coding an Arduino to read the input on an ADC pin and latch on the drop and rise event and output the time over serial. That also gave me a much more accurate reading than estimating the value from a blurry oscilloscope graph.

Prosopagnosie ( prosopon – obličej, agnosia – neznalost) je neurologická porucha, kdy postižený nerozeznává tváře. Volně je onemocnění překládáno jako obličejová slepota. Schopnost rozeznávat ostatní objekty je relativně nedotčena. Tento pojem se používá v souvislosti s poškozením mozku, ale může se jednat i o vrozenou poruchu. Prosopagnosií může trpět až 2,5 % lidí.

Can anyone help me understand how to prevent these errors? I want to clarify that they appeared when I didn't even log into the server. In the nginx.conf file I have set all the locations and files well. On the server I only installed nginx and nothing else. But it seems that the server can't find something important ... can someone help me? Thanks

A: You can't prevent this and shouldn't worry either
These "errors" will happen whenever somebody (or more likely something) requests a file from your webserver that doesn't exist.
Such an error message might be an error in your site and indicate a dead link, but that is not the case here.

Whenever a system is accessible to the internet at large and responding to connection requests you will almost immediately and continuously see (mostly automated) probes making such connections.
Once connected to a webserver such probes will try to either crawl your website (for example to index your site for a search engine), or more commonly, they try to determine what software and which versions you are running.
Once a specific software package(s) has been found you will usually see subsequent attempts to abuse known vulnerabilities in that package.

"/usr/share/nginx/html/phpMydmin/index.php" failed (2: No such file or directory)

This for example looks for a phpMyAdmin, which is commonly installed in a default directory phpMyAdmin  (and too often both publicly accessible not regularly updated, leaving it vulnerable to one of the many new vulnerabilities that regularly get found, disclosed and fixed in a new release).
You don't have phpMyAdmin installed (there), hence the "file not found" error.  Then the probe continues to attempt locate it in other common locations, /xampp/phpmyadmin/ , /tools/phpMyAdmin/ etc. Failing that the probe may scan for other commonly installed tools, or move on to the next IP-address.

A: Most requests are targeted to an IP address, not a specific domain. If the virtual host is the default virtual host, it means all requests are processed by that block.
You should create a virtual host for your own domain, and disable logging for your default virtual host.
The configuration looks something like this:
server {
    listen 80 default_server; # Make default virtual host

    server_name _; # Dummy host name

    access_log off; # Disable access.log

    return 404; # Return 404 error to all requests
}

server {
    listen 80; # Listen to HTTP port

    server_name example.com; # Domain name for the virtual host

    ... # Rest of the configuration
}

However, once bots learn about your domain name, you will get your share of these requests. Then you can further filter requests by matching user-agents that definitely aren't used by your visitors.
Another alternative is to use a provider like Cloudflare that filters most of this traffic so that it doesn't reach your server.

5 ways to make your tailgate great
Get the gear you need for gameday
Meet Jon Paul
From car racing to car stereos, I've written a lot of words about cars. Different words, even.
I spent years writing about cars and motorsports for some magazines you might've heard of (emphasis on "might've") despite having only the most basic understanding of what a carburetor does. It was that experience writing about cars that drew Crutchfield's attention. I began as a freelance contributor, using their vehicle research to write articles explaining how to install audio gear in specific vehicles.
Things went so well that they brought me in as a fulltime writer and eventually made me an editor. Now I continue to write those vehicle profiles, other web features, product descriptions, and Crutchfield catalog articles. Let's just say I know some pretty cool stuff that'll help you install your car or marine audio system. Hopefully you'll have some fun along the way.
Before I joined the Crutchfield team, I honestly thought that good audio was anything loud enough to annoy pets and/or the neighbors. I was completely and amazingly wrong. The house sounds awesome these days and the latest car is next. And yes, we'll probably write an article about that, so stay tuned!

KICK THE SEASON OFF RIGHT
Here in Charlottesville, tailgating at UVA football games is a fall tradition. But, as longtime 'Hoos fans know, a stack of sandwiches, a cooler full of drinks, and a boombox aren't enough to get you through until gametime anymore. Today's tailgating is a very big deal, with better food, better drinks, and better ways to keep up with the pre-game hoopla. To kick gameday off right, you need the right gear.
ENJOY DISH SATELLITE RECEPTION IN THE PARKING LOT
The VQ4510 Tailgater antenna/receiver combo from DISH lets you and your gang enjoy satellite TV in perfect HD anywhere you have power. And you can even sign up for month-to-month, pay-as-you-go programming, with no long-term contract.
THIS WEATHER-RESISTANT TV IS MADE FOR TAILGATING
The Jensen JE2212LED HD TV runs off 12-volt DC power, so you can connect it and catch the pregame shows. With a 22" 1080p screen and plenty of inputs, you can hook up a Blu-ray player or gaming console. It's also humidity-resistant and ready for outdoor use.
SNAP AND SHARE YOUR GAMEDAY SELFIES
There's no "I" in "team," but there should be a "you" in your selfies. The Nikon CoolPix S6900 (available in black or pink) features a vari-angle LCD that flips around, so you can see yourself in the frame and get great-looking shots. Snapbridge technology makes it easy to share with your friends.
PLENTY OF POWER FOR YOUR PRE-GAME PARTY
Charge up your Goal Zero Yeti 400 the night before the game and use the two AC outlets to power a blender or a small refrigerator. The two USB ports supply regulated power, so you can charge everyone's phones, tablets, and laptops.
HAVE EXTRA POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT
This portable PowerAll Element can charge a smartphone, tablet, camera, and gaming system, so it's going to be a popular top-off stop before gametime. And if you (or the guy in the space next door) run low on battery power, it can even start your car.
Our thanks to Virginia SportsProperties for letting us set up our gear at Scott Stadium, home of the University of Virginia Cavaliers.
Alexander Hrabe from Crutchfield
A few people have commented thinking that this is a contest, one of our Gear Giveaways. Unfortunately it's not. It's just a showcase of some our products that would make for an awesome tailgating event. Sorry for the confusion.

SPU Graduate Talks Race, Identity, and the 2016 Election
By Christopher Flores, '17
Manuelita Duran, a 2016 St. Peter's University graduate, quickly rose from intern to research associate while working on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. But it's Manny's roots and immigrant family background that drew her to the world of politics.
Born in Hoboken, Manny has lived in the Jersey City Heights neighborhood her entire life. After graduating from St. Dominic's Academy – an all-girls high school in Jersey City – Manny went on to attend Rider University. After attending Rider for one semester, Manny felt called to return to her hometown, subsequently enrolling at St. Peter's University.
"Moving to Lawrenceville was a drastic change and a culture shock for me," said Manny, who is half Peruvian and half Dominican. "Majority of the school was Caucasian and I was one of the few minorities walking around campus".
She was thrilled to return to Jersey City.
"I was happy to be back in my hometown," Manny said. "I didn't feel like a minority and I felt comfortable with others around me…walking around Jersey City gives me a sense of pride to be from the most diverse city in our country".
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Jersey City's largest racial and ethnic group were Hispanic/Latinos making up 27% of the city. Black/African American followed with 25% and the caucasian population at 21%.
The racial and ethnic population in Jersey City is quite opposite from the United States as a whole. In the U.S., Hispanics make up 16% of the population while African American's only make up 13%. Caucasians, however, make up 64%.
During her Senior year at St. Peter's University, Manny was hired as an intern at Hillary for America – Hillary Clinton's second presidential campaign.
After serving as an intern for a few months, Manny was hired as a research associate at the campaign's Brooklyn Headquarters.
"When I was hired on Secretary Clinton's campaign I could not believe it," Manny said. "I was ecstatic beyond belief. As a Research Associate, I was in charge of monitoring both TV and print election coverage".
From May until November, Manny worked seven days a week in hopes of helping elect the first woman president.
"During the DNC, RNC, debate nights, and scandals, it was 24 hours non stop," she said. "I slept for maybe 3 hours each day if I was lucky".
But it's her Jersey City upbringing, along with being raised by her immigrant mother from Peru that Manny developed her passion for politics and helping others.
"Growing up in Jersey City has exposed me to different cultures, different traditions, different people coming together and just sharing a set of values with these people and accepting them for who they are," Manny said.
Manny grew up in a large Hispanic culture but has seen it change over the last few years.
"I live in the predominantly Hispanic area but right now it's gentrifying so a lot of caucasians are coming in," she said.
Downtown Jersey City has gentrified over the past 20 years and it has started spreading to other areas of the city like Journal Square, McGinley Square, and The Heights.
"I feel like we're just going to keep driving these low-income families further away to the outskirts but I honestly don't know where else we can push them," she said.
Manny's concern for the Hispanic community was reflected during her time on the Clinton campaign.
"For example, the Latino community, [Trump] targeted us so much," Manny said. "How we're all bad and how we're going to the build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it."
Manny explained that one of the reasons losing the election was so rough was because of the rhetoric he used towards her community.
"That's why losing the election stung so much because it was just so personal," she said.
