Ruth Jones Graves Wakefield (June 17, 1903 – January 10, 1977; maiden name: Ruth Graves) was an American chef, best known as the inventor of the Toll House Cookie, the first chocolate chip cookie. She was also a dietitian, educator, business owner, and author.

Personal life
Ruth Graves Wakefield was born on June 17, 1903 and lived until January 10, 1977. She was born to Helen Vest Jones and Fred Graves and grew up in Easton, Massachusetts. To further her education, she attended what is now the Framingham State College where she studied to become a dietician and a food lecturer. She graduated in 1924 and in 1926 married Kenneth Wakefield, a meatpacking executive. Together they had one son, Kenneth Donald Wakefield Jr.

Toll House Inn

Ruth and her husband bought a tourist lodge that they called the Tollhouse Inn. They called it this because it was located on what used to be the toll road between Boston and New Bedford. Ruth cooked for the guests using her own recipes and some of her grandmother's old recipes that were a smash hit and grew the Inn's dining room from seven tables to sixty. Her recipes were so popular that she released multiple cookbooks, the most popular being a cookbook titled Ruth Wakefield's Tried and True Recipes in 1931.

Inventing the "Toll House" Chocolate Chip Cookie
Wakefield identified a lack of diversity in her Inn's cookie offerings. Her solution was to experiment with semi-sweet chocolate to create a new cookie flavor. The cookie was invented in 1938, and got so popular that it was featured in newspapers and the Wakefields received countless letters from people requesting the recipe and the Toll House Cookie became the most popular dessert of the time.

A myth holds that Wakefield accidentally developed the cookie, and that she expected the chocolate chunks would melt, making chocolate cookies. That is not the case; Wakefield stated that she deliberately invented the cookie. She said, "We had been serving a thin butterscotch nut cookie with ice cream. Everybody seemed to love it, but I was trying to give them something different. So I came up with Toll House cookie." She added chopped up bits from a Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar into a cookie. The original recipe in Toll House Tried and True Recipes is called "Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookies". Wakefield gave Nestle the recipe for her cookies and was paid with a lifetime supply of chocolate from the company.

Toll House Cookies and WWII

The Toll House Cookies rose to popularity in 1940, during World War II.  Ruth's daughter who worked as a cooking assistant recalls days in the kitchen filled with packing care packages to send to the Massachusetts troops overseas. They soon began receiving letters from all over the country requesting that the packages including Toll House Cookies be sent to troops from other states.

Death
Ruth retired in 1966 and sold the Toll House, which later burned down in 1984. Ruth passed away on January 10, 1977 in Plymouth, Massachusetts at the age of 73.

Lori and I have our own little home cinema in the UK. It is one of the greatest treats. You can stretch out on the sofa, and you can pause the movie to ask a question or refill your wine glass. Frankly, we love watching movies and it's one of the very few things that we might "miss" when we visit the Maldives. Sure, some resorts have public theatres (but that would involve syncing our schedule to the playing times) and most resorts have TVs (but that would involve secluding ourselves in our room when paradise is just outside the door. Moofushi's approach seems to be an inspired best of all possible worlds.
From the sublime, to the ridiculous. Ridiculously genius that is…Anantara Kihavah outdoor cinema. A number of resorts have introduced al fresco screens in recent years, but Kihavah has taken it to a new dimension with their 3D capable projector.
(PS. As we've entered into the entertainment awards season, I add a added "Film" tag for all the Best of the Maldives gong winners in that category).
The Golden Globes tonight celebrate acting across both movie and TV. Super Bowl winners might go to Disneyland, but the golden girls of the screen – silver and tube – definitely head to the Maldives as one of their top destinations.
A top UK glitterati hang-out (9 of the top 30 celebrity actress visitors), the Maldives also attracts from as far away as Hollywood right up its own backyard of Bollywood. In fact, 5 of the top 8 actresses including the top 2 spots hail from just across the Laccadive Sea.
And where is the "Chateau" of the Maldives resorts? – Four Seasons Kuda Huraa with 4 entries in the top 30.
Cannes Film Festival starts today which is a great showcase of fine smaller, independent productions like Norway's "Kon Tiki". Which as it turns out features the Maldives as the setting for the final scene (at the resort of Biyadhoo it seems). It's no surprise then that it was film director Francisco Negrin who alerted me not only this Maldivian cameo ("Just watched kon tiki, this year's oscar nominated norwegian film. The final scenes, when the raft hits Polynesia, were filmed in the maldives…"), but also all the films ever set in the Maldives.
If you want to have your own Maldivian Film Festival, then if you search IMDB for "location = Maldives", you will get a list of over 33 films such as 'The Island President', "Caught Inside", and "Dhinveynugehithaamaigaa".
If Maldivian paradise is not escapist enough and you need a dose of Hollywood/Bollywood silver screen spectacle, Soneva Fushi features probably the most comfortable and relaxing film cinemas not just in the Maldives, but in the world. If you miss all of the stars around the resorts, then you can always catch some on the large screen set out on the beach with comfy lounges for taking in a flick.


Thank you for your amazing help during our process of our purchase. I am very appreciative that you are willing to play such an important, crucial, very MUCH NEEDED role as our agent. You have been reliable and very professional and dependable; traits that are sometimes lacking in these transactions.

The Best Place To Live In London In 2021 Has Been Revealed
Alex Landon - Editor • 26 March, 2021
Hope you're not the jealous type, because the best place to live in London has been revealed…
It's the question that we never ask, simply because we try to love all of London, and would never divide you by declaring one area top of the pile. The Sunday Times has no such qualms, however, as they've just compiled their annual list of the best place to live in London. And adding further fuel to that whole "west is best" theory is this year's champion, the leafy Richmond suburb of Teddington.
SEE ALSO: London Has Been Ranked The Best City In The World For 2021
Teddington Lock Bridge.
Hands up if you saw that one coming? There's been a fair amount of jumping around town on this list for the past few years, with Peckham (2017), Bermondsey (2018), the Isle of Dogs (2019), and Victoria Park (2020) some of the more recent winners. Teddington was praised for the number of dogs (an important metric), quality of shopping, and proximity to Bushy Park – and being located in London's six-time happiest borough probably didn't hurt either.
The deer of Bushy Park.
The Sunday Times list has, in the past, seemed a little detached from reality – at least, if you don't pull in a six/seven-figure salary – with places like Chelsea and Belgravia known to crack the top three. (I'm still cackling at their infamous assessment of Bermondsey residents as "typically young, affluent and often [residing] in photogenic lofts in converted warehouses", to be honest.) Do I suspect that there are large swathes of Sunday Times readers in Teddington? Of course, but in a year where the list has focused away from "commerce and culture" and towards "working from home in London's leafy suburbs", this year's list is a pretty decent roundup.
SEE ALSO: This Map Shows London's Best And Worst Areas For Public Transport
Of the five other highly-commended spots, only one (Primrose Hill) is reputationally outside the realms of affordability for most Londoners – and let's be honest, most of us would live there if we could! Muswell Hill scored highly for the schools and high street, Nunhead's independent shops and green spaces helped it soar up the list, Winchmore Hill was billed as "friendly and old-fashioned in the nicest possible way", and Walthamstow is an obvious but still very valid choice when putting together a list like this.
Given that the list changes almost entirely from one year to the next, I wouldn't worry too much about upping and moving to Teddington too soon (lovely as it is!), because there will no doubt be a new champion in 2022. Any suggestions on where that might be?
Speaking of the best places to live, here are some of the prettiest mews in London to daydream about living on!

The various groups filing a lawsuit against the academy in behalf of "The Color Purple" have my sympathy.
"The Color Purple" represents something real and genuine, rarely seen in Hollywood. By contrast "Out of Africa" embodies every myth and threadbare cliche about Africa that Hollywood has ever cranked out.
None of its leading characters are black and the Africans that appear in the film are stereotyped either as servants who pour tea for the white Memsahib and mumble "Yes, Bwana" all over the place, or as spear-toting, bone-through-the-nose savages who live in grass huts and let their women run around topless.
In addition, like every other "African" movie Hollywood has ever produced, "Out of Africa" contains every dusted-off cinematographic gim-crack from the African prop room and takes place in the Highlands of Kenya, which comprise a minute part of the African land mass.
There also are white game hunters, wild-animal footage and wealthy white settlers sipping tea on the veranda while expropriating Kenya's most valuable land from its rightful owners. There are even a few remarks about the evils of colonialism, which, in the contest of the film, are about as phony as Kadafi's latest press release.
In short, "Out of Africa" is not an African film at all and contains nothing at all about the struggles, agonies, hopes and aspirations of real Africans.
It is, instead, the typical sentimentalized, Cloroxed, white-American fantasy of what Africa is supposed to be. It deserves neither the critical acclaim nor the awards that have been heaped upon it.
That both the critics and the members of the academy are so easily fooled by such imitation-Africa pictures indicates that for all its pretensions, Hollywood really hasn't changed much from the days of "Birth of the Nation."

Silvio Varviso (26 February 1924 – 1 November 2006) was a Swiss conductor who spent most of his career devoted to conducting opera. He began his conducting career working in minor opera houses in Switzerland in the mid-1940s. He became the principal conductor of the opera house in Basel in 1956 where he served for six years. In the late 1950s he began appearing with major opera houses on the international stage as a guest conductor. During the 1960s, he became a fixture at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City and at the Royal Opera House in London. In 1965 he became the music director of the Royal Swedish Opera, and later in his career served as the music director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart and the Paris Opera. During the early 1990s he became a permanent guest conductor at the Vlaamse Opera where he remained active up until his death.

Early life and career
Although Silvio Varviso's father was a voice teacher, Varviso avoided this art.  While attending the Zurich Conservatory he studied the piano, violin, clarinet, trumpet and percussion instruments. He continued his study of conducting after graduating with the Austrian conductor Clemens Krauss in Vienna.

Varviso made his conducting debut at age 20 leading Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Stadttheater in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Over the next several years he worked as a guest conductor with minor houses throughout Switzerland. He became principal conductor of the Theater Basel (1956–1962) where he led several productions of operas by Mozart and works from the bel canto repertory. He also conducted the first German-language performance of Prokofiev's The Fiery Angel.

Early international success
During the late 1950s Varviso made a number or notable guest conducting debuts, including the Deutsche Oper Berlin (1958), Paris Opera (1958), and the San Francisco Opera (1959), the latter being his first conducting assignment in the United States. In 1958 he conducted the world premiere of Heinrich Sutermeister's  at the Brussels World Fair. On 10 October 1961 he returned to San Francisco to conduct the United States premiere of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He conducted The Marriage of Figaro for his first performance at the Glyndebourne Festival in 1962 followed by a production of Der Rosenkavalier for his debut with Covent Garden later that year. He returned often to the Royal Opera throughout the rest of his career, conducting a wide repertoire which ranged from standard works by Mozart, Puccini, Strauss, and Wagner, to less frequently performed operas like Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande.

Working at the Met
On 26 November 1961, Varviso made his conducting debut at the Metropolitan Opera in a production of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor. The evening also marked the occasion of Dame Joan Sutherland's debut at the house, portraying Lucia opposite Richard Tucker's Edgardo. Varviso became a regular conductor at the Met during the 1960s, conducting 142 performances at the house through 1969. The operas he conducted at the Met included Puccini's Madama Butterfly with Dorothy Kirsten as Cio-Cio-San, Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus with Theodor Uppman as Eisenstein and Jeanette Scovotti as Adele, Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur with Renata Tebaldi in the title role and Franco Corelli as Maurizio, La sonnambula with Sutherland as Amina and Nicolai Gedda as Elvino, Tosca with Gabriella Tucci in the title role and Anselmo Colzani as Scarpia, The Magic Flute with Anna Moffo as Pamina and Gianna D'Angelo as the Queen of the Night, Ariadne auf Naxos with Gladys Kuchta in the title role and Roberta Peters as Zerbinetta, Aida with Birgit Nilsson in the title role, Don Pasquale with Fernando Corena in the title role, The Tales of Hoffmann with William Dooley playing the four villains, The Barber of Seville with Reri Grist in her house debut as Rosina opposite George Shirley's Count Almaviva, Don Giovanni with Cesare Siepi in the title role and Martina Arroyo as Donna Anna, and Faust with Pilar Lorengar as Marguerite.

Later life and career
In 1965, Varviso was appointed music director at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, a position held for six years. During that time he also frequently conducted at the Bavarian State Opera, the Hamburg State Opera, and the Vienna State Opera. Up until this point he had conducted no Wagner and in 1969 he embarked on an ambitious campaign to add several core Wagnerian works, beginning with The Flying Dutchman at the Bayreuth Festival. He returned to the Bayreuth Festival many times, conducting Wagner works during the 1970s and 1980s.  (His recorded live performance of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg from the Bayreuth Festival 1974, starring Jean Cox, Karl Ridderbusch, and Hans Sotin is one of the standard-setting recordings of this work, and has been available since the vinyl days.) In 1972, he became the artistic director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart where he served for eight years. In 1974, he took on the same role at the Paris Opera, as well. He worked with the Paris Opéra until 1985. In 1983 he returned to the Met for one last assignment after a 14-year absence at the house. He conducted his final and 147th performance at the house on 2 April 1983 with a production of Wagner's Die Walküre with Dame Gwyneth Jones as Brünnhilde and Manfred Jung as Siegmund.

In 1991 Varviso became a permanent guest conductor at the Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp, where he remained until the end of his career. While there he largely moved away from the German repertory that had been his focus since 1969 and back into the Italian repertory. He spent the last years of his career working especially on the seminal operas by Puccini. His last appearances on the podium was conducting Puccini's Tosca on 19 September 2006 in Antwerp.

Varviso lived in Basel and on the Côte d'Azur. He died in Antwerp on 1 November 2006 at the age of 82.

Among his studio recordings are, for Decca, L'italiana in Algeri (with Teresa Berganza and Luigi Alva, 1963), Il barbiere di Siviglia (with Berganza, 1964), Cavalleria rusticana (with Elena Souliotis, Mario del Monaco, and Tito Gobbi, 1966), Norma (with Souliotis and del Monaco, 1967), and Anna Bolena (with Souliotis, Marilyn Horne, and John Alexander, 1968–69).

Among live recordings he has conducted the live performance of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Bayreuth Festival in 1974 (with Karl Ridderbusch, Jean Cox, Hannelore Bode, and Klaus Hirte), issued by Philips.

This is a flawless foundation. I have used it several times since its release and 430 is my perfect shade. I am NW45 in MAC for reference. I use this with my beauty blender and it has a light flowery scent that does not really go away even thought it isn't heavy. I started with a light layer then went in with another layer because listen, I am not here for the light look, if I am going to put on makeup I want to look made up. The second layer was perfection, oh! Then I drew the angel on my face in concealer (Estée Lauder double wear in 5N) and powdered with Too Faced Born This Way loose powder. Love that foundation look when you powder! I am oily as hell so I baked my nose with it and my foundation lasted through my date which was outside in a park. I didn't have to touch anything up. Removal is very easy with an oil cleanser. This will certainly be in my foundation arsenal for years to come. I support RiRi and the inclusivity of this line. Will certainly repurchase again and again.
I love this foundation! The lady at Sephora matched me and once I looked in the mirror I was so amazed at how good my skin looked. It looked airbrushed. I got the shade #200 and its perfect, my skin has some redness in it and I have always had a hard time finding a foundation that matches my undertones. I have very oily skin and this foundation is amazing at controling the oil. I wore this during a football tailgate while I was bar hopping and it looked great all day and I only had to apply some touch up powder once. My skin is very sensitive to break outs and so far so good- really hoping that it doesn't end up making me break out because I am in love with it!
I like this but I don't love it, simply because the finish is a bit too flat for me and a little drying. I'm 160 matched to NC25, oxidises just a little, its a pretty good match and the coverage is med-full with no luminosity. I can imagine oily skins to love this since its a more advanced version of the Kat von D foundation, which was way too thick for me. The texture is very fine but not that spreadable, make sure you wear a wet type of primer with lots of slip, I found a hydrating one works the best or straight up sunscreen. I think this is a good foundation, its just not suitable for me, its really obvious that Im wearing foundation and at the end of the day, it has pooled a little at nose corners and is a little patchy. Its not a deal breaker however I still like my Shiseido Synchro skin much better. Love the color range, I took home 3 little pots, kudos for generous sephora girls. I found this to be similar to revlon colorstay, which I like better than this since its just not as flat. I have normal skin, maybe a little oily T zone. Packaging is great however I will use this on humid days. My recommendation is try before you buy.

GE Healthcare and Lantheus Phase III Clinical Trial Finds [18F]flurpiridaz PET Radiotracer Could Improve Detection of Coronary Artery Disease
Phase III clinical trial of [18F]flurpiridaz PET diagnostic radiopharmaceutical meets co-primary endpoints for detecting Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Trial also met its first key secondary endpoint, demonstrating higher diagnostic efficacy for [18F]flurpiridaz PET compared to SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)
With a half-life roughly 12 times longer than currently approved cardiac PET radiotracers, if approved, [18F]flurpiridaz has the potential to expand patient access to PET MPI
This radiotracer is part of GE Healthcare's pipeline of Molecular Imaging diagnostics aiming to increase diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes across key care areas
CHALFONT ST GILES, United Kingdom and NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GE Healthcare and Lantheus Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: LNTH) have announced that the recent Phase III clinical trial of their investigational radiotracer, [18F]flurpiridaz, has met its co-primary endpoints of exceeding a 60 percent threshold for both sensitivity and specificity for detecting Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The findings, shared at the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) Congress, in Florida, U.S., also demonstrate [18F]flurpiridaz Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has higher diagnostic efficacy and image quality in patients with suspected CAD, compared with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI), the predominant procedure used in nuclear cardiology today. SPECT MPI represents approximately 6 million procedures per year in the U.Si.
The Phase III Open-Label Study, which involved over 600 patients across sites in the U.S., Europe and Canada assessed the diagnostic efficacy of [18F]flurpiridaz in detecting CAD, the most common form of heart diseaseii and the leading cause of death globallyiii, with invasive coronary angiography as a standard of truth. More than 120 million people are affected by CAD globally each yeariv and in the U.S. alone, approximately 20 million adults have CAD, with nearly 383,000 deaths recorded in 2020v.
If approved, this investigational agent would offer the advantages of 18F, with broad available distribution and a half-life of almost two hours, removing the need for it to be manufactured in the immediate vicinity of the imaging department. This longer half-life could also make Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection suitable for exercise stress testing, which is not feasible with existing cardiac PET radiotracers.
Dr. Tim Bateman, MD, FACC, co-director of the Cardiovascular Radiologic Imaging Program at Saint Luke's Hospital, Missouri, US, shared: "These results are truly promising for the nuclear cardiology community and CAD patients. From ASNC's inception, its leaders have laid out the specifications for an ideal myocardial perfusion tracer. In my view [18F]flurpiridaz could meet this goal, expanding how PET MPI can be used to image CAD patients moving forward."
Dr. Francois Tranquart, MD, PhD, Global Head of Clinical Development for GE Healthcare Pharmaceutical Diagnostics, Research and Development, said: "The positive Phase III trial results are a key step towards future approval of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection as a potential new cardiac PET agent which could improve the detection of coronary artery disease. This is another example of GE Healthcare investing in our portfolio of Molecular Imaging products to help improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes."
GE Healthcare has led the funding and development of [18F]flurpiridaz, and, if the imaging agent is approved, will have global commercialization rights. Lantheus has collaborated on the development and will also collaborate on potential commercialization through a joint steering committee. Lantheus is entitled to royalties based on commercial sales.
GE Healthcare's Pharmaceutical Diagnostics unit is a global leader in imaging agents used to support around 100 million procedures per year globally, equivalent to three patients every second. Its Molecular Imaging portfolio combines an innovative pipeline with established proprietary products across cardiology, neurology and oncology.

Taylor Swift Talks 'Snarky Songs' About Ex-Boyfriends, Performs 'Welcome to New York' [VIDEOS]
by Maggie Malach October 29, 2014 9:11 AM | PopCrush
Taylor Swift covered a lot of ground during her visit to 'The Late Show With David Letterman' last night (Oct. 28). Some of the topics included her infamous songs about exes, her recent move to New York and her friendship with Lena Dunham.
One of Taylor's signatures is using her former relationships as songwriting inspiration. When speaking with Letterman, the singer cleared one thing up — she isn't necessarily done writing these tracks!
"Well, I mean I haven't had any lousy boyfriends in the last year and a half," she explained. "It's been good. … I'm not really looking around for them, at them, shopping. I'm not doing any of that."
Taylor did open up about one very important relationship in her life: Her friendship with Lena Dunham! She called the actress/writer/director "empowering" and explained how they first began to get to know each other.
If that's not enough Taylor for you, the singer also chatted about her enthusiasm for New York City, her 1989 Secret Sessions — and even performed 'Welcome to New York.'
Catch all of that and more in the clip above and the videos below!

Raymond Bernard (10 October 1891 – 12 December 1977) was a French film director and screenwriter whose career spanned more than 40 years. He is best remembered for several large-scale historical productions, including the silent films Le Miracle des loups (The Miracle of the Wolves) and Le Joueur d'échecs (The Chess Player) and in the 1930s Les Croix de bois (Wooden Crosses) and a highly regarded adaptation of Les Misérables.

Biography
Raymond Bernard was born in Paris in 1891, the son of the author and humorist Tristan Bernard and younger brother of the playwright Jean-Jacques Bernard. He began his career as an actor appearing on stage in plays written by his father, including Jeanne Doré (1913) alongside Sarah Bernhardt (also filmed in 1916). In 1917, Bernard began to work behind the camera as assistant to Jacques Feyder at Gaumont and then continued as a director, principally adapting plays by his father. In these popular entertainments, he soon gained experience of working with leading performers such as Max Linder and Charles Dullin.

In 1924, Bernard embarked upon a new style of film, the historical spectacle, with Le Miracle des loups set in 15th-century France in the reign of Louis XI. This proved to be the most expensive film of its day and one of the more profitable. Bernard's ability to combine dramatic narrative with spacious settings and large numbers of performers was utilised in the two remaining productions of his silent film career, Le Joueur d'échecs (1927) and Tarakanova (1930).

Bernard's film-making in the sound era continued for nearly three decades. Further large-scale productions included his film about the First World War, Les Croix de bois (1932), and a three-part adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables (1934) which was nearly five hours in length. In his later films, he returned to modest projects and budgets, including a number of sophisticated comedies. During the wartime Occupation of France, Bernard as a Jew was obliged to remain in hiding, and his film-making ceased until the end of the war.

He retired from film-making in 1958, but in the 1970s, when he was in his 80s, he was able to supervise the reconstruction of Les Misérables, which had been severely truncated in the 1940s for easier distribution.

City Security
Motivated by bribery and glory, these often crooked cops are not ones locals rejoice to see.
Watch Precinct
Semi-Privatised Metropolitan Law Enforcement Agency:
Maintaining the status quo of the Corporations
Enforcing criminal law
Providing private services to clients or VIPs such as Executives including but not limited to: Bodyguard protection, Home security, Search and rescues, Favouritism/Priority of Investigation cases, Protected escorts and Information gathering
City Security or 'The Watch' as universally known by the locals of Neon District is the primary law enforcement agency of Neon District. While a metropolitan agency that works for the government of the metropolis, at least 25 percent of the funding of City Security comes from 'donations' from Corporations and Executives found in the metropolis, the amount of currency that is publicly recorded at least.
Because of the semi-private nature of The Watch, they are known to prioritize criminal investigations involving Corporations and Executives such as stolen Corporate property or harm committed against an Executive. Although never fully proven, it has been known that The Watch have turned a blind eye to the criminal activity of Executives and Corporations, provided that said criminal activity isn't obvious enough to evoke public outcry or attention.
Due to the lack of oversight coupled with the fact, there are little checks and balances: the City Security agency is rampant in its corruption, most particularly in interaction with the Corporations. While the Corporations employ the use of Syndicates to perform illegal behavior on behalf of them, the Corporations use The Watch to perform police harassment and other measures against any competitors or enemies of The Corporations. Even with the non-corrupt officers of The Watch, they are excessively punitive at their best and downright sadistic at their worst. Because of this, public trust in the City Security agency is low in Neon District due to their brutal and often corrupt enforcement of the law.
Relations with other factions in Neon District
The average citizen likely does not hold The Watch in good light due to their draconian nature of enforcing the law and "keeping the peace". The average Watchman in return likely views the citizen with disdain due to their low socio-economic status plus the fact that the Watchman sees the citizen as a criminal who hasn't been caught yet or hasn't committed a crime yet. While The Watch does, in the end, protect the citizen in the event they are victimized, the citizen still holds little faith due to the rampant crime rate and the allocation of The Watch's limited resources.
The Watch views the Media and any associated journalist with absolute disgust, seeing them as vultures or nosy prudes who should mind their own business. Despite this, The Watch does not necessarily mind any Media exposure on the City Agency due to the already known fact that The Watch is known to be brutal in their method. The Watch would however likely interfere if said media exposure could potentially disrupt the status quo, reveals deep or serious corruption of The Watch especially if it involved the Corporations and/or they believe the Media is prying too far.
Seeing the Syndicate and any associated organized crime is the antithesis of The Watch, Watchmen view Syndicates with complete loathing with the Syndicates seeing the City Security agency in kind. Despite this, realizing that a full-blown war could disrupt the status quo for both of the factions alongside with the Corporations subtly encouraging and mediating the two factions to peace, they currently hold a fragile truce of sorts. Despite this, The Watch is still willing to arrest members of the Syndicate if they commit a crime, especially if they committed a crime against an Executive or Corporation.
Due to the intellectual and placid nature of Scientists, The Watch realises that Scientists in the district, especially those contracted by a Corporation are unlikely to cause trouble. Because of this, The Watch usually leaves the Scientists alone and may even respect them seeing the Scientists are the leading innovators in medical technology, cybersecurity, and tactical technology - all things that The Watch happily enjoy the benefit of.
Commonly CEOs or leading employees of the Corporations that fund The Watch, Executives fund The Watch and its operations in return for The Watch to show favoritism in its protection of Corporate assets and the safety of Executives. While The Watch may view Executives as snobbish or arrogant, they still begrudgingly provide services for Executives and tend to leave them alone. This, of course, doesn't completely prevent The Watch or individual honest Security Officers to put their foot down in the case that the Executives are committing acts, especially if the Executives are committing blatant or heinous acts.
Wonderers
Seeing these individuals as vagrants and vagabonds, The Watch is dehumanizing in their perception of the Wonderers of Neon District. However, they tend to leave Wonderers alone as Wonderers do not usually perform violent crime or crime at all for that matter. Wonderers are also found primarily in the sewers and slums, which standard patrol officers of The Watch tend to avoid anyway due to its filthy environment and a heavy organized crime presence. That is not to say that The Watch wouldn't crack down severely on criminal Wonderers if such the chance occurs, especially seeing Wonderers have no power nor anyone to stand up for them.
Seeing them as bothersome pests with too much time on their hands, The Watch is vigilant against any cyber attack and as a result, employs state-of-the-art cybersecurity so that their information and secrets are kept safe. While they are harsh on any malicious freelance hackers they capture, The Watch is even more punitive on hackers that they deem are working for any dangerous organization or higher goal such as the Syndicates or any prominent terrorist groups. The Watch recognizes the threat Hackers pose to the peace and status quo of Neon District, despite this, they focus resources on dangerous and influential hackers and hacking groups rather than concentrate their efforts on small-time hackers who have a minuscule effect.
Exhibit A: The common uniform for the Ground Units of The Watch such as the Patrol Units.
Exhibit B: The common uniform for the Heavy Patrol Units of The Watch who specialize in working in areas of high crime or riot situations.
Exhibit C: The common uniform for Sentry Corps members of The Watch who specialize in dealing with dangerous situations or executing warrants.
Exhibit D: The common uniform for the Medical Units of The Watch. These people are tasked with providing helpful aid for civilians and their fellow officers in need, they are skilled in first aid.
Exhibit E: HSR-IV Armour. Made from a steel/carbon fibre composite, Heavy Special Response (HSR) Armour is an intimidating icon, only worn in times where the maximum protection is required. The helmet comes with a display that feeds information about crowd formations to the wearer in real time.

Economic and Existential Challenges Facing Journalism
Caroline Fisher, Sora Park
News & Media Research Centre
Research output: A Conference proceeding or a Chapter in Book › Chapter › peer-review
This chapter provides an overview of the evolving discipline of journalism and the tensions between its traditional and dominant role conceptions and the reality of the digital market. At a time when the need for quality public interest journalism has never been more important, it finds itself facing both economic and existential challenges that threaten its future. Due to the loss of advertising and a fragmenting audience in an era of information abundance, these pressures force a continual reinvention of business models in response to new technologies. In turn, these pressures force an ongoing re-evaluation of journalism's professional boundaries, and persistent questions about what is journalism and what is a journalist?
Firstly, the chapter examines the economic pressures that underpin contemporary debates about the future of journalism. In doing so, we briefly reprise the impacts of digitization on traditional news media, loss of advertising revenues, contraction of news outlets, the growth of local news deserts, and the increasing precarity of the journalism workforce. It then discusses the role of the major digital platforms, such as Google and Facebook, in this process of destabilization of the traditional news market and highlights some of the policy debates about attempts to level the playing field between news media outlets and the online giants.
Secondly, the chapter turns to existential questions about the professional boundaries of journalism, its role and future. While these questions are not new, they have been exacerbated by the rise of digital media and the exponential growth of news information providers, the rise of the audience, and the difficulty of competing for audience attention in the online misinformation environment. Efforts to seek new forms of advertising revenue are also pushing the boundaries of journalistic independence with a rise in camouflaged commercial and partisan content dressed-up to look like journalism. All of which feeds into perceptions of trust in journalism and its role in democracy.
Thirdly, the chapter turns its attention to emerging trends in journalism, the use of algorithms in news production and distribution, new modes of storytelling, innovation, start-ups, AI and work beyond the newsroom. In the age of AI, existential and economic questions grow even louder as computer algorithms take over traditional journalism tasks from human reporters.
Next, the chapter reflects on the field of journalism scholarship, which is expanding and embracing other disciplines, in response to these economic and epistemic shifts. The study of news audiences has become more prominent in the discipline as well as a need to incorporate media industry studies within the journalism field.
The chapter concludes with consideration given to the increasing fragmentation of the online information environment and the issues this raises around the production, distribution and consumption of quality news and journalism. The economic crisis of news industries also calls for new regulatory frameworks and policy interventions to ensure a healthy news ecosystem that is essential in modern democracies.
The challenges facing journalism outlined here have been exacerbated by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has had and will continue to have significant impacts on journalism into the future. Firstly, it has accelerated the shift of newspapers to online. Secondly, the global outbreak highlighted the importance of fact-based journalism to society; while, thirdly, simultaneously undermining its financial footing as economies shook from the negative economic impacts of the pandemic.
The impact on journalism and the news media will be different in each country. In Western liberal democracies, like Australia and the UK, the further contraction of advertising revenues due to the COVID-19 inspired economic downturn accelerated the closure of news outlets that were already on the brink of collapse. In other countries, like India, where there had been strong growth in online journalism prior to the pandemic (Aneez et al., 2019), the impacts will be different. This serves to remind us of the diversity of journalism and its role globally. While journalism scholarship has a distinctly Western liberal bias, its freedom and function vary significantly across countries (Hanitzsch et al., 2011; Waisbord, 2009).

For the first time in the race Audi have the top four places in the 80th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The final man to move into the top four places Loic Duval, driving the #3 Audi R18 ultra that was delayed by two separate incidents earlier in the race – both with Romain Dumas in the car. Duval passed the #12 Rebellion Racing Lola on the front straight to move into fourth place during a succession of incredibly fast laps including the new fastest lap of the race (3:25.165).
At the front of the Audi train the #1 continues to lead, holding an advantage of over a minute at the end of the hour over the #2 as the two Audi e-tron Quattro maintain their stranglehold at the front of the race.
Starworks Motorsports lead LMP2 with a lap lead over the Pecom Racing ORECA 03. The ADR-Delta car – which started the race from class pole and led the class in the early stages of the race has moved back inside the top five in class. The Level 5 Motorsports car – on the other hand – slipped down the order after stopping between Arnage and the Porsche Curves.
There was also a problem for the #88 Team Felbermayr-Proton Porsche running the LMGTE Am class which stopped on the Mulsanne Straight and was pulled back behind the barriers by marshals. Also with problems was the #61 AF Corse-Waltrip Ferrari. Brian Vickers ran wide at Tertre Rouge, resulting in (or caused by) a blown tyre, the remains of which caught fire on the left-front corner as he returned to the pits.
The flames were put out by fire marshals in the pitlane, the damage apparently cosmetic enough for the AF Corse team to begin to fix the car almost immediately to return the car to the race.
Imsa Performance Matmut continue to lead the Am class, the #51 AF Corse Ferrari holding on to its margin in the Pro ranks.

AI: Reexamining Privileges
By Aretha
In Afternoon Inqueery , Cissexism
This week, someone whose blog I follow wrote a post complaining about complaints that her blog was cissexist. Now, I had never seen cissexism in her writing (though I may have missed it due to my own privilege), and she's a feminist who so far seemed to be quite an ally to the LGBTQ community. The response was (predictably) bad, to which she wrote a follow-up post saying, basically, people should get their heads out of their asses with the whole "cis privilege" talk, and that she doesn't believe such privilege exists.
To me, it looks like she has just never needed to reexamine her own privileges that way. Because why would someone agree that male privilege (and therefore, sexism), white privilege (and therefore, racism) and straight privilege (and therefore, homophobia) all exist, but deny the existence of cis privilege?
(Boy, that was a lot of "privilege"s in one sentence).
And while I'm not going to call her out on it, because it would get lost in a sea of other comments and I probably wouldn't be taken seriously, this situation could be transported into so many of my daily relationships that I thought I'd ask:
How would you deal with this situation, had it been someone you know and respect? How do you figure is the best way for people to grasp what privilege means and understand they are favored by it? When do you think it is not worth trying?

theelectricturtle says:
Well, most people are disadvantaged along SOME axis of privilege… drawing a parallel (while noting that there are no perfect parallels) with some form of privilege they DON'T have may help make it real for them.
Infophile says:
I've seen a lot of lists linked (possibly here, can't remember) about privilege, listing all the things cis (for instance) people have better than trans people. I'd say linking to one of those lists would help a lot. I've certainly learned a lot myself. In the end, most of it is stuff that you would never think of on your own, like "People do not feel like it's alright to ask me about the status of my genitals."
Aretha says:
The first thing I thought of doing was drawing the parallel, as theelectricturtle suggested, to male privilege, which I know she understands well, but this was quite next to that.
Lists like that seem like a very uncomplicated way to define privilege, and when it comes to cis privilege, it's quite an extensive one, as well.
I don't know, Peggy McIntosh's list in her seminal article White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack really helped me to understand how privilege operates. Perhaps a list like that for cis privilege could be enlightening for someone who knows about privilege but hasn't thought through the implications of cis privilege. 😉
Well, yes, the first time I heard about privilege was here (link in Portuguese, sorry, :P), a few years ago, and it was quite enlightening (that whole blog is sort of my initiation in feminism, actually).
I'm actually trying to find a list of cis privileges to use in this case (I'm sure I've read one somewhere!), though for the way things are being handled (as in, she's been ignoring mostly every argument people make), I'm not sure it will be that helpful, 😛
Unfortunately denying cis privilege is rife within certain areas of the feminist communities. Is what scared me off feminism in my early transition, that and other trans people overreacting we are our own worst enemies sometimes. Problem is some feminists seem to believe that trans women still have male privilege (they would have done but won't anymore) and that trans men have male privilege so both are more privileged than a cis woman.
It is also partially privilege blindness you don't notice you haven't got something until you don't. E.g. before transition I really didn't see too much the inequality between men and women, but now post transition I see that I have to work twice as hard as my male counterparts to be taken as seriously, I am now very careful to try and check my privilege as much as possible…
The woman in case recently declared she aligns with such "radical feminists". Which is really, really upsetting, coming from someone who had all the tools to be an ally.
I was pretty much introduced to feminism (in a way that made good sense to me) by Rebecca Watson at one of her talks a couple of years ago. So naturally I view feminism through the skeptics filter and mostly follow the feminists in the skeptic community. I've only started following "mainstream feminism" over the last year or so. I every now and then find problematic opinions and an obvious blindness to cis privilege.
Despite this, I am not willing to dismiss feminism just because some of of those flying her banner are flawed. I'd rather help making feminism better and inclusive. I don't particularly care for the term trans feminism. I understand why it exists, but find it unnecessarily divisive.
I too was pretty blind to male privilege before I started my transition. I still get to enjoy that privilege most of the time, but I am at least very aware of it. I also know I am about to lose much of it as I'm drifting heavily towards androgyny. I absolutely recognise that I have been privileged through my education and had it easier getting into science than a cis woman would have had. As a consequence I would love to help girls and women overcoming that disadvantage, which is also why I often blog about that topic.
I also get frustrated with other trans people. There is a culture of hyper-sensitivity. Sure, there's A LOT of stuff that needs to be addresses, but the current trench warfare between some radfems and some trans activists is very unproductive and helps divide feminism. Not to mention several trans women I know who are outright anti-feminists and even MRAs. Sure, there are some very vicious transphobic haters out there, like Cathy Brennan, and I wish more people would publicly distance themselves from her and her kind. That said, I do know many cis feminists who do just that. In my brief exchange with Brennan and other radfems on Twitter recently, I got much needed support from a several feminist writers.
Anyway, my take on privilege is that enjoying any sort of privilege is quite ok. The problem arise when you reject the experience of people who're at the opposing end of said privilege, because you can't see it existing. That is incredibly narrow minded. I am very surprised feminists sometimes reject cis privilege exist. I find it hard to believe this is anything other than ideologically based denial.
Yup, hence saying that trans women our our own worst enemies sometimes, one of the reasons that transwomen are anti feminist is they have associated all feminism with the TERFs(Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists). Another is some trans women mistake life being eventually happier post transition with life being easier for all women than it is for men. Or at least that's the way it seems to me. Certainly pre transition I would be so jealous of women that I would have similar irrational thoughts that life is so much easier for them, but that's about cis privilege rather than male privilege, but if you aren't used to analysing privilege it is hard to see where the privilege comes from.
A lot of people don't analyse the world past their own experience. Transsexuals who transition will mostly feel better, therefore: identified sex > assigned sex. This is of course rubbish.
I get the impression that how well people feel post-transition is closely correlated with how much cis privilege they enjoy. And again, there is nothing wrong with enjoying that. But it is very necessary to recognise it.
Back to the cis feminist, especially the TERFs. They really seem to hate the word "cis" and claim it is *sexist something. The word is of course no different in its origin than the term "hetero" is for sexuality.
Let me add, the proportion of trans women who're like that is similar to the proportion of cis women who think feminism is bad, both in justification and probably in numbers.
Nowhere near everyone's like that. As always people make up their mind about stuff without bothering to learning what it is.
Also just to add, not trying to make excuses for trans women being MRAs or anti-feminist, but understanding the reasons why they are helps to change their minds!

Blindness to cis privilege is pretty much the one that boggles my mind the most, because even all the microaggressions aside, all one really should have to do is look at the violent crime statistics…
At any rate, I've had the most success with comparing the axis of privilege the friend in question doesn't get with one they do – it doesn't always work (particularly when they're white, male, cis, and straight, which are the majority of people I have to explain these things to), but it's a better bet than anything else. It was particularly striking with one friend who deals with racism but was pretty oblivious to his male privilege… but he was also starting at "I want to not be an ass, help me not be an ass."
The most success I've had with straight-cis-white guys has been in the laundry lists of shit various groups have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. If they actually listen and are not absolute jerks, it helps at least a bit.
Someone brought that up in the comments to her post (someone also made the comparison to male privilege, and posted a few of the things trans people have to go through that aren't even closely a part of cis experiences), but all she's done in response is post rad-feminists blogs on why "cis privilege" is a lie and say that "ok, they suffer too, but seriously, what kind of privilege can ANY woman possibly have?"
So one, she's totally ignoring any other identities in the trans spectrum that aren't "trans woman", and two, she's completely ignoring most of what people are presenting as evidence and trying to get away with it by acknowledging that "they suffer too". So, to answer my own question: this is probably someone not worth it arguing with.
Generally, though, this seems like a good approach.
ihatemusic says:
the "what kind of privilege can any woman have" thing boggles my mind? Didnt she say she does acknowledge white privilege. So a white middle class heterosexual woman has no privilege that a black homosexual man does not, for example?
i don't know how much work she's willing to do, but given that she identifies as a radical feminist you might point her in the direction of this extremely thoughtful blog written by a trans woman who writes from a radical feminist angle (shocking, i know!):
http://radtransfem.wordpress.com/
Hmmmm I think I'll pass that along!
cthandhs says:
I read a post once that really clarified things for me, I think it was on iblamethepatriarchy (http://blog.iblamethepatriarchy.com) but I'm not sure when or where. Some trans-phobic feminists come from the perspective that a male who transitioned to female is missing a vital part of the feminine experience, because they did not grow up as a girl and therefore can never really understand what it's like to be a woman. The counter argument is that I, for example, have never been a woman of color, or of very low economic status, etc. which are all still valid experiences that women have of the patriarchy. I can't claim to know what a woman of color goes through or what a poor rural white woman goes through, that doesn't mean that any one of us is less of a feminist. Drawing a line on who's experiences of oppression are "real" is harmful to all of us.
It is not universally true that transsexuals don't get to experience their childhood and teens as their identified gender. Many kids do these days.
In any case, different women experience their life very differently, so I don't really see why different pasts should be disqualifying. And disqualifying from what? For being exposed to misogyny in the present? Because the world really don't give a shit about your past.
Yessenia says:
I'd argue that although I grew up female, I also grew up as a boy because that's the gender I always identified with. I didn't have the support and medical interventions that so many trans kids have today, but I don't think that's entirely relevant. So the idea that I've somehow cornered the market on The Feminine Experience of Girlhood by dint of my anatomy, and that that experience trumps the experience of a person who really is a girl/woman, is laughable to me. Trans* people do not have cissexual childhoods. If that's the 'feminine experience,' I sure as fuck missed out on a vital part of it. Yet no one challenges my feminist cred based on my trans status – I was born an innie, and that's all that counts. Sexism? What sexism?
I assure you, transphobic quasi-feminists, my plumbing played a very small role in my experience of childhood.
Yes, my childhood was two-sided too (I'm trans). I had almost only female friends and I had typically female hobbies. I was also let know that I wasn't much of a boy. So yeah, the social value of girls affected me too, but probably different than others.
As a teenager I found a compromise. Being a nerd instead. A stereotype that was neither masculine nor feminine and easier to live up to.
This is essentially the major difference between second-wave feminism and third-wave feminism. Second-wave feminism had (has?) this idea that there is some sort of universal womanhood that unites all (cis) women in their oppression. Third-wave feminism recognizes the intersectionality of all sorts of aspects of people's identities, and acknowledges that there cannot possibly be a universal womanhood and that oppression happens to different women in both similar and different ways.
Most radfem (as far as I know) comes out of second-wave.

A total of 67 percent of Florida voters are "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" with the way things are going in the state today, tying the highest satisfaction rate since the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll first asked this question in 2004.

His 59 percent job approval today is better than most of his counterparts around the country," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "Part of Gov. DeSantis' success is his taking on issues such as the environment on which Republicans often don't focus.

Undocumented immigrants are provided too much protection in Florida, 34 percent of voters say, as 25 percent say they are not provided enough protection and 26 percent say undocumented immigrants get the right amount of protection.
With a wide gender gap, Florida voters oppose 57 - 40 percent allowing trained teachers and school officials to carry guns on school grounds. Women oppose arming teachers 63 - 33 percent. Men are divided as 47 percent support the idea, with 50 percent opposed.

Voters give U.S. Sen. Rick Scott a mixed 42 - 38 percent job approval rating.
From March 6 - 11, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,058 Florida voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.7 percentage points, including the design effect.

Why couldn't Lee Nguyen have high-flying career in Vietnam as in MLS?
Saturday, November 01, 2014, 19:08 GMT+7
Lee Nguyen is now grabbing the attention of the media in Vietnam, where his short-lived journey had an unhappy ending, following his hogging the limelight in Major League Soccer (MLS) with his Player of the Month award.
The New England Revolution midfielder took home the Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month award for October – the final month of the season – after having a league-high nine game-winning goals this year, according to the MLS website.
The 2014 MLS regular season, running from March, ended on Sunday. Ten teams will compete in the postseason MLS Cup Playoffs in November and December, culminating in the championship game, the MLS Cup.
The 28-year-old, who holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Vietnam, netted five goals last month alone, and a total of 18 during the season, which is fourth most in the MLS and the most ever by a pure midfielder in the U.S.'s highest-level football (soccer) league.
The award is the icing on the cake as Nguyen has been called up by the U.S. national team to prepare for two friendly games against Colombia and Ireland this month.
In Vietnam, the media are wondering why he just could not perform as impressively when playing in V-League, Vietnam's top-flight league whose quality is undoubtedly far behind the MLS, as he has been doing in the American tourney.
The midfielder, whose Vietnamese name is Nguyen The Anh, made his professional debut for PSV Eindhoven in 2006, before moving to V-league side Hoang Anh Gia Lai on January 18, 2009.

Nguyen had 24 appearances in all competitions with the Vietnamese club in 2009, scoring 13 goals and adding 16 assists, according to his profile on the MLS website.
After a season with Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Nguyen trained with Arsenal in England in January 2010, and ended up signing a new deal with V-League's Becamex Binh Duong FC the same month.
Nguyen only made 15 appearances in one and a half years, scoring a mere two goals, with Becamex Binh Duong before ending his journey in Vietnam in June 2011, having repeatedly suffered from injuries.

Mot The Gioi (One World), a Vietnamese-language newswire, reported on October 4 that Nguyen did not succeed at Hoang Anh Gia Lai because he was in conflict with the team's then head coach, Thai legendary striker Kiatisak Senamuang.
The newswire quoted Nguyen's father, Nguyen Pham – who lived with his son for six months at the club's headquarters in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai in 2009 – as saying that the coach had been asking other players, especially the Thais, to isolate the Vietnamese-American player.
Phap Luat Thanh Pho (Ho Chi Minh City Law) newspaper published a picture with satirical captions in its Saturday issue, mockingly citing three reasons behind Nguyen's unsuccessful career in Vietnam.
The captions say Nguyen was 'boycotted,' while his teammates refused to make assists for him, because he was paid extremely high salaries. He also became less professional after quickly adapting to the lifestyle of his Vietnamese fellows, who frequent clubs and beer gardens, the captions mock.
Finally, Nguyen also 'learned' from his local teammates to appear unmotivated as he would always be selected for the main formation, according to the captions.

Man United has finally decided on a permanent replacement for Solskjaer.
By Unspoken-Creator (self media writer) | 1 month ago
According to The Time, Manchester United has chosen Zinedine Zidane as their favourite candidate to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was fired on Sunday.
After the Red Devils were thrashed 4-1 by Watford on Saturday night, the board opted to sack Solskjaer in an emergency meeting.
United are currently in seventh place in the Premier League after 11 games, having won only one of their last seven league games under Solskjaer.
After a dismal start to the Premier League season, Solskjaer has lost the trust of his teammates.
After the club was hammered by Leicester City, Manchester City, and Liverpool, the United board decided against sacking the 48-year-old, allowing him more time largely due to a lack of acceptable candidates.
With the Frenchman out of work since leaving Real Madrid, the club's administration has picked Zidane as the best possible alternative.
The 49-year-old had planned to retire for at least a year, and his family is concerned that he will return to management so soon.
The publication claims, however, that United's board of directors will now speed up talks with the Frenchman.
