Detroit challenges COVID and Schools Coronavirus Detroit
Fewer children in Detroit and the rest of the state are eating school meals

The number of students eating meals in the Detroit school district is way down this year, a pandemic-related problem that has officials wondering whether children who need meals aren't getting them, or if their parents have found other sources of food.
In a typical school year, the district distributes 69,500 meals a day. With three quarters of the district's students learning online since the beginning of the school year, that number has been reduced to about 16,000 meals a day since September, despite the district's efforts to provide meals that can be picked up by students learning online.
Now that face-to-face instruction has been suspended until January, and all students will be learning online, the daily count is expected to drop to 4,000, Superintendent Nikolai Vitti said during a finance committee meeting Friday morning.
Here's where Detroit online learners can get meals during the fall
The declines raise concerns about the well-being of children, especially if their parents are not finding meals elsewhere. Nearly 90% of the students in the Detroit district are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, and many have relied on school to receive meals. Research shows that students who receive subsidized meals from school are less likely to struggle with hunger issues, obesity, and poor health.
It's an issue being felt across the state and nation, particularly in districts with large numbers of students learning online, said Diane Golzynski, director of the office of health and nutrition services at the Michigan Department of Education.
The state education department has a comprehensive interactive map that helps connect parents to school locations where they can pick up meals, she said.
"But it appears that there are still struggles with getting the food. I don't have hard data on why but my best guess is transportation, timing, and communication are the largest challenges," Golzynski said.
Where to find free food:
Families have a number of options if they're in need of meals during the pandemic. Here are just a few resources:
The Michigan Department of Education's statewide map will connect families with the closest school meal distribution site.
The Detroit school district provides grab-and-go meals at every school on Mondays and Thursdays (see map above). During the week of Thanksgiving, the Thursday distribution date has been changed to Tuesday.
Gleaner's Community Food Bank has mobile food sites throughout the region. Check out the list of upcoming dates and locations.
Call United Way's 2-1-1 hotline, which will connect people to the closest place to access food.
We know there are even more resources out there for families. The United Way of Southeastern Michigan is trying to get a handle on where metro Detroit families are turning for help with food. If you're a small agency or part of a grass-roots organization, reach out to Bryan.VanDorn@liveunitedsem.org.
You can also share that information with Chalkbeat and reach out at detroit.tips@chalkbeat.org.
Vitti, during Friday's committee meeting, said he believes the numbers are down largely because parents have found other sources of food.
"My sense is that families will continue to rely on other sources," Vitti said. That may change, though, as COVID-19 cases rise and if the state moves toward a lockdown, he said.
The decline in meals served has community agencies like the United Way of Southeastern Michigan (a Chalkbeat funder) seeking ways to understand the challenges facing families and to get a handle on where families are getting food.
The agency is "engaging both funders and research institutions to study the current state of food security in Detroit as well as the impact that COVID-19 has had on individual family's access to food resources," said Bryan VanDorn, manager of health and basic needs for the agency
The drop in school meals also is sparking discussions in the Detroit district about how to keep the 550 staff members in the food and nutrition department employed.
During the Friday committee meeting, Vitti recommended using COVID-19 relief funds or dipping into the district's $106 million general fund balance, which is set aside for dealing with catastrophes and addressing pressing building repairs. Using one of those two sources would allow the district to cover the $7 million that would be needed to maintain current staff levels.
Another option, Vitti said, would be to proceed with layoffs, but he said "I don't think our district wants to go through layoffs." Some employees, though, might be willing to accept a voluntary layoff, he said.
The board will decide what to do at an upcoming meeting.
"This is a really terrible and unfortunate situation, probably one of the most difficult we have faced … in the last few years," said board member Sonya Mays, the committee chair.
Maintaining food service staff is something other districts are grappling with, Golzynski said. And the issues go beyond serving enough meals to keep everyone employed to also include keeping staff healthy so they can work and finding staff willing to work during a pandemic.
Unlike some other district jobs that can be done remotely, food service workers must work in person, Vitti said.
Every school in the district has served as a grab-and-go site where parents can pick up meals two days a week. On Mondays, they receive three breakfasts and three lunches. On Thursdays, they receive four breakfasts and four lunches, enough to carry them through the weekend. The goal has been to keep as many locations open as possible so parents have easy access to meals, said Machion Jackson, assistant superintendent of operations.
The district also has made meals available to parents and students regardless of whether they're enrolled in a district school, Jackson said.
"There's no governance structure when it comes to feeding children," she said.

INTAL, Argentina's Ministry of Industry, the US Embassy in Argentina, and ARGENBIO held a communications seminar for government officials, researchers, and decision-makers.
Agrobiotechnology's potential contribution to the sustainable and equitable development of the region was the core topic of the communications seminar held on Tuesday, August 9, 2016, entitled "The Challenge of Communicating What We Do."
High-profile specialists shared their experiences and discussed tools for optimizing the spread of agrobiotechnology, improving public opinion of it, and contributing to a smooth dialog between the different players in the regional value chain.
The opening remarks were given by the secretary of added value at the Ministry of Agribusiness, Néstor Roulet, who argued that biotechnology applied to the agriculture sector would allow the country to "increase productivity while safeguarding the environment." He added, "to achieve this, we need to work towards linking all sectors that form part of the production chain and improving communications between the links of this chain and society as a whole."
Roulet stressed that the next industrial revolution "will go hand-in-hand with solar energy." He went on to reflect further on this: "we need to think about how we can use the sun to create more biomass." He also commented on organic products, saying that "they are a good thing and complement the other production model."
Gustavo Beliz, the director of INTAL, made a plea for avoiding both "techno-utopianism" and "techno-scepticism" and mentioned data from the most recent Latinobarómetro survey, which found that six out of ten Latin Americans saw the possibility of accessing new technologies as one of the positive aspects of integration. "Latin Americans are moderately optimistic about the impact of new technologies," he argued.
Questions: Over the past five years, (country name) has been pursuing a global integration strategy. Do you believe that this strategy has had a positive or negative impact on… (Percentage of total answers)
Source: INTAL/Latinobarómetro 2015 (link in Spanish).
Mr. Beliz also reminded those present of the impact that new technologies have on trade agreements and bilateral treaties, two topics that INTAL repeatedly engages with. His final words motivated the audience with the claim that "what Latin America finds hardest to do is resign itself to a lack of innovation."
Lastly, David Mergen, US agricultural counselor in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay remarked that there is an ongoing challenge in relation to "explaining the benefits of agrobiotechnology to the general public as a way of feeding a growing population." He added that "Argentina's biotechnology experts are globally renowned."
Agrobiotechnology and Productive Development
The first panel discussed the importance of agrobiotechnology in the transformation of Argentina's production patterns. it was moderated by Mariano Lechardoy, undersecretary of bioindustry at the Ministry of Agribusiness, who stressed the vital importance of communication and the state's responsibility as a guarantor not only of biosecurity but also of smooth communication: "the challenge of successfully spreading awareness of scientific and technological advances implies dealing with fears and setting minds at rest so as to foster open exchanges with the general public. Communication needs to be an active part of the change that we are living through, as part of the process of adding value and strengthening agribusiness."
Cecilia Llabrés, policy coordinator for the Department of Biotechnology at the Ministry of Agribusiness, was the first speaker on the panel and described how agricultural biotechnology will help Argentina to be "at the global forefront."
Ms. Llabrés cited the 2015 Bloomberg Innovation Index, which includes Argentina among the 50 most innovative economies in the world and ranks it highest in Latin America.
In addition to the economic impact that agrobiotechnology is having in Argentina, "which is enabling the country to be the leading global exporter of soy oil and the second largest exporter of maize," Ms. Llabrés drew attention to the FAO's description of the country as a "gold standard for the biosecurity of genetically modified organisms."
The next speaker was Gabriela Levitus, director of Argenbio, who argued that "everything that we eat is a result of our improvements on nature, rather than nature itself, and as such, it has been modified in some way."
Ms. Levitus explained how biotechnology is present in many everyday products such as foods, medicines, vaccines, and the enzymes used in industrial applications such as the paper and textile industries: "without biotechnology, we wouldn't have the growth hormone that Lionel Messi was treated with."[1]
According to Ms. Levitus, genetically modified crops allow us to produce more food on less land with lower environmental impacts. She gave the Bt toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis as an example, as its use in crops enables higher yields, greater flexibility, lower quantities of insecticides, higher quality grains, and lower levels of mycotoxins.
The final speaker on the panel was Valeria Durand, a member of the Argenbio team, who talked about how to shape public opinion and the role of opinion-makers. She argued that we need to work on the lack of awareness of new technologies without ignoring the fears that these can arouse in society. To achieve this, she suggested "using humor, stamping out myths, taking advantage of opportunities, and going wherever those who think differently are."
Useful Communication Tools
After the break, it was time to work on specific communication tools. The first speaker during this second part of the event was Nora Bär, a journalist for La Nación newspaper who referred to research by the sociologist Gordon Gauchat, who argues that public trust in the scientific community is falling. Another factor is public opinion of risk. For example, people are more worried about traveling by plane than driving on the highway, even though, statistically speaking, the latter causes more accidents and injuries. Ms. Bär believes that scientists will play a key role in the making of informed decisions.
Pablo Croci, director of Mot Content and a digital marketing expert, discussed how to strengthen digital personal brands through social media. Mr. Croci began his presentation by arguing that "whether we like it or not, we have a digital identity and we need to work on it." He went on to outline tactics to define the right assets, measure objectives, establish messages, and build a relevant dialog on social networks where the average user "decides whether they're interested in something in the space of five seconds."
The next speaker was Sergio Rulicki, an expert in nonverbal communication and professor at Austral University, who provided effective tools for oral presentations such as how to use your eyes and hands, posture, facial expression, and tone of voice. Nonverbal communication is important for making the message being transmitted consistent with the ways in which it is expressed. In Mr. Rulicki's words, "nonverbal communication offers tools that allow us to use our bodies more assertively, that is to say, in line with the communicational objectives of each moment in our presentation."
The final speaker on the second panel was Valeria Edelsztein, who holds a PhD in chemistry and is a researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) and the author of the book Los remedios de la abuela [Grandma's remedies]. Her recommendations included making the message clear, concise, and categorical; and choosing the right place and the right time to put it across.
Among those who took part in the event were the executive director of MAIZAR, Martín Fraguío, and of the Argentine Seed Producers Association (ASA), Martín Rapella; the special project coordinator at the Argentine Seed Institute (INASE), Mónica Pequeño Araujo; members of the Argentine Advisory Committee on Agricultural Biotechnology (CONABIA); and members of the communication teams at the Argentine No Till Farmers Association (AAPRESID), the Grain Exchange, research institutes, and academic sectors.

The University of Bath's reputation as a world-class centre for automotive industry research has moved up another gear after it was awarded major funding to establish a new senior academic training hub.
The Doctoral Training Centre (CDT) in Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems has received £5m funding from the government's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI), to produce graduates capable of working on the zero emissions cars of the future.
It will bring together the many technical disciplines and skills needed to make innovative, world-leading new propulsion systems a reality.
The high-quality research leaders will be involved in intensive research projects the University of Bath's new £60m automotive propulsion research facility – the Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) on the Bristol and Bath Science Park, pictured.
The cohort will have the opportunity to develop invaluable skills using the latest state-of-the-art testing facilities in the purpose-built research institute – due to open next year – ensuring the UK maintains and expands its global position within the automotive sector.
The specialist facilities will make IAAPS a centre of excellence for training and skills development in automotive engineering, supporting new apprenticeships, honours degrees, masters and doctoral courses, helping to address the engineering skills shortage facing the UK automotive sector.
The university said the CDT will be multidisciplinary in its approach, drawing on a 50-strong academic supervisor pool from a variety of complementary disciplines at the university. A diverse range of graduates will be recruited from across a range of first degrees including engineering, sciences, management and social sciences.
In total 86 studentships have been secured, 40 funded by the EPSRC, 20 by the university and 26 by the university's global industrial partners. The university said the result would be "an immersive experience within a rich collaborative environment [that] will ensure they are developing both the technical and the interpersonal skills needed to succeed in such a progressive industry".
IAAPS programme director Gavin Edwards added: "I am delighted the university has been successful in establishing this highly important and exciting Doctoral Training Centre. The CDT in Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems, as part of IAAPS, will cement Bath's role in supporting the UK automotive sector.
UKRI chief executive Prof Sir Mark Walport said highly talented people were required to tackle key global challenges such as sustainable energy and cyber security, and provide leadership across industries and our public services.
"Centres for Doctoral Training provide them with the support, tools and training they need to succeed, and the involvement of 1,400 project partners underlines how much industry and the charity sector value this approach," he said.
IAAPS will be a global centre of excellence, leading the development of future generations of ultra-low emission and zero-impact vehicles, and attracting sector-related businesses to the region. It will support the industry to deliver rapid R&D that will accelerate the transition from low-carbon to zero-carbon vehicles. It will be able to complete research across all propulsion types, including fully electric and hybrid powertrains.

DEBATES Politics Author: Eugenia Mazhitova - 12.02.2019
Dariga–the Heiress and the "Bad Boys"
As the President's successor, Dariga Nazarbayeva may please many external players: the Russians, the Americans and perhaps even the Chinese, Russian political expert Andrey Grozin believes. But it is not a sure bet that she will become one. In Moscow, many are betting on Samat Abish as well.
Following the President's appeal to the Constitutional Council, the talks of the successor in Kazakhstan have revived with new energy. Kz.expert is eager to learn whom they envision as the Kazakh President's successor in Russia. Head of the Department of Central Asia and Kazakhstan at the CIS Institute Andrey Grosin has given us an interview on the subject.
- Andrey Valentinovich, following the President's appeal to the Constitutional Council, the talks of the successor have revived with new energy in Kazakhstan. Do you think Dariga Nazarbayeva's can really be nominated as one?
- Recently, I have participated in a round-table conference called "The Multi-Vector Nature of Central Asia: the Kazakh Version" held at the Moscow office of the Dialogue of Civilizations research institute. I have presented a report on Kazakhstan's external policy. The topic of who is to become Kazakhstan's next president has been introduced beyond the scope of the main discussion. I answered that, if the process of the power transfer starts today, Dariga Nursultanovna will be named the successor. But, if it is to start in a month, it is quite possible that she will not be named one.
The people's turnover around the Kazakh throne happens so fast that it is impossible to build any kind of serious prognostic models for the period longer than right now or one week. Those who say they know more than others are stretching the truth. I presume "the number one" (Nazarbayev – kz.expert) is also constructing his own strategy based on the current situation: a week or two in advance. Among other things, in regard to the power transit.
The Backstory of Dzhaksybekov's Resignation
Recall how Adilbek Dzhaksybekov's career made a crucial U-turn last year (your portal has written plenty on the subject). Even my most respected Kazakh elite experts had not predicted anything of the sort up until Dzhaksybekov's retirement. There had been absolutely no indications that could have pointed to the possibility of his rapid exit from power.
The resignation was like a bolt from the blue. And to think that, as recently as half a year ago, this person was considered one of the most important participants of the upcoming power transit. Is there anyone who thinks so now? I think not. Also, recall the fates of Rakhat Aliyev, Aslan Musin…
Yes, at the moment, Dariga Nazarbayeva seems a likely candidate. But who knows what is going to happen in a couple of weeks?
- Still, speaking purely theoretically, how do you assess her chances?
- Dariga Nazarbayeva has not been lucky in terms of the people closest to her. Obviously, we are not talking about her father. We are talking about her first husband Rakhat Aliyev who was quite a character and whose fate was quite sad. OK, the people in Kazakhstan have partially forgotten about Mr. Aliyev, but now their son has been mixed up in some silly stuff for the past couple of months. These strange familial circumstances play against Nazarbayev's eldest daughter. One may say, they are screwing her over, working against Dariga Nursultanovna.
I believe if we are to choose the familial scenario as the basic one, then gearing towards Nazarbayev's distant relatives, someone like Samat Abish (the First Deputy Chief of the NSC, the Presidents' nephew – kz.expert) seems a more practical option.
- Why?
- The close relatives live in the conditions of the absolute favour. They have gotten too comfortable living behind Nazarbayev's wide back. In other words, having grown in the hothouse conditions, these people will not be able to exist outside of it.
Yes, for Nursultan Nazarbayev, the familial scenario is beneficial in the sense that he can rely on these people with much more certainty. He can trust that they are not going to betray him, are not going to edit out the "all-encompassing historic role of the current President" from the future textbooks.
But, to rule a country, one must still possess certain moral and volitional powers which is the weak spot of Nazarbayev's entire kissing kin.
By the way, in Moscow, many are betting on Samar Abish. Albeit with caution: they say it would be not a bad thing if he was chosen as the successor. But these are but theories that are worth absolutely nothing. Because those same people, when asked about this young man's administrative experience, acknowledge that there is none. Will he gain it? Of course. But the question is whether the internal situation in Kazakhstan will give him the time to do so.
Why Is the Transition with Dariga Feasible?
Dariga Nazarbayeva has got the same problem. However, her nomination as the successor may undoubtedly please many external players: the Russians, the Americans and perhaps even the Chinese. Therefore, I repeat, if the President decides to resign in the nearest future, the eldest daughter is likely to become his successor. This is how I assess the situation at present.
Generally speaking, the President may nominate anyone he pleases due to his gigantic powers. And the society will accept his choice since, first, no one is going to ask its opinion and, second, they will market it in such a way that the society itself will say – we favor the stability, we favor the continuity… In this regard, Dariga Nursultanovna has great advantages. It will be the same under her rule as it used to be under the rule of her father. But, I repeat, in order to not just covet the Presidency but to obtain it and to hold on to it in such a problem-plagued country as Kazakhstan, one needs to have a great range of the qualities that I believe Dariga Nursultanovna is lacking.
Undoubtedly, she is a strong, independent woman. Obviously, she is capable of holding on to the power initially. But, gradually, the mainstay of her father, the first President, on which the vertical hinges is going to fade away. And as this process progresses, the problems and obligations will start piling up, the unpleasant decisions will have to be made.
In other words, the lesser of the old President's way and the more of the new one's will be in the system, the less stable it is going to be. And, presently, this is the most crucial problem that should concern Nazarbayev.
- What do you think of Nazarbayev's appeal to the Constitutional Council requesting an explanation of the Constitutional norms regarding the President's resigning options?
- The speculations about his desire to retire (or lack thereof) are but the reflected light of a bigger problem that has to do with the fact that the President, it seems, is unable to find an adequate replacement neither in this closest circle nor among the more distant allies not related to him by blood.
Obviously, the President is desperately seeking not only a mechanism of the power transfer related to its institutes. As someone who comes from the Soviet tines, Nazarbayev is deeply aware of one simple thing - it's all about the people. The people's individual features determine whether they are going to be successful managing the task entrusted to them by the president. The young technocrats, all those "beybeks", "isekeshevs", etc. are all very nice people but the President will not take a chance of entrusting them with a serious and important task that demands statecraft.
By the way, the Russian press is now writing more on the subject of the possible successors and their prospects. Previously, the Kazakh agenda lied outside of the main scope. It was understood that there was Nursultan Abishevich and some interest-lacking little guys. Now the situation has changed dramatically. One can see it when comparing the Russian texts on Kazakhstan of last year with those of present time. In other words, the problem of the transit has become of interest to the public.
Fundamentally, however, for Russia, it is not important who seizes the throne – Dariga, Samat, or someone else. If the power transit happens without emergency, without the internal squabbling, then the existing power model will be reproduced, among other things, in terms of external policy.
The Kremlin is comfortable with it. And if Dariga is the one to become the President, the Russians will injure their palms applauding and cheering the gender progress. In that regard, Dariga Nursultanovna's situation looks rather bright. But it still means nothing. Before the Zhanaozen events, Aslan Musin's dreams of being the next president were practically becoming reality. And where is he now?
- Going back to the growing interest to the Kazakh agenda, the Runet has recently been swept over by a large wave of the compromising materials against the influential persons from Nazarbayev's circle…
- Do you mean Kenes Rakishev? In my opinion, they are now trying to milk him in every way possible. Do not try to find politics here. Kenes, it appears, gave money to someone in order to buy his way out of trouble and a line of those wanting to make a pretty penny out of it has immediately been formed. Here, like in a pail with holes in it, nothing will hold – even the most secret and closeted agreements that have to do with the compensation payments become known to all.
Who Is Behind the Media Attacks?
So, perhaps it is because of the money that Rakishev has been painted as a bad boy on some Russian websites. And the hit on him (as well as on the other people) has been ordered by Akorda (although I cannot say it with certainty).
What I mean is that most current initiatives related to not only the internal political process in Kazakhstan but also to the issues of positioning the Kazakh elite and its individual representatives in Russia, in the West, in China originate from Kazakhstan. They do not and will not say this. I am presenting this to you as my own subjective opinion. It seems to me that the problems which certain representatives of the Kazakh elite experience with the Russian press have the exclusively Kazakh origin and one should enquire about them not in Russia but in Astana.
- Thank you, this has been very interesting.

Nazarbayev as the Transition Factor
In our precious publications, we have analyzed how the power transition in Kazakhstan is going to unfold given that it happens in the nearest future. We have concluded that, if Dariga Nazarbayeva has the support of Head of Administration Adilbek Dzhaksybekov and National Security Chief Karim Masimov, she will, most likely, become the next president of the country.
Kazakhstan: Group of Successor Will Come to Power
In the period of transition of highest power in Kazakhstan, there is a possibility of destabilization.
Power Transition with Dariga Nazarbayeva
Continuing to reflect on a possible scenario of the power transition in Kazakhstan, we have decided to consider the current balance of power in Nursultan Nazarbayev's closest circle. If one of them is to become the new leader of the nation, it will be the president's daughter Dariga Nazarbayeva.
Nazarbayev Is "Redesigning" the Power Centers
In our recently-published article A Test for Mightiness, we have drawn the readers' attention to the fact...
Why did Nazarbayev Appeal to the Constitutional Council?
Many participants in the discussion in Kazakhstan suspect that the President's request to the Constitutional Council is in some way connected with...

Jon Jones calls Dana White 'a f**king liar,' asks for UFC release if his reputation 'causes you to undervalue me this much'
01 Jan Jon Jones calls Dana White 'a f**king liar,' asks for UFC release if his reputation 'causes you to undervalue me this much'
Posted at 00:00h in News	by	0 Comments
Jon Jones is fed up with accusations made about his financial demands for a heavyweight fight against Francis Ngannou.
On Friday, UFC president Dana White claimed the 205-pound champion was asking for money comparable to that which boxer Deontay Wilder received for his recent rematch against Tyson Fury in order for Jones to move to heavyweight and face Ngannou.
That fight paid Wilder $5 million in disclosed salary with his actually payday reportedly reaching closer to $30 million.
After hearing White's comments, Jones exploded with a series of messages refuting those claims and requesting that the UFC president release the text messages he exchanged with UFC chief business officer, Hunter Campbell.
"If you're going to stick to these lies, I'm going to stick to defending myself," Jones wrote on Twitter. "Please have your lawyer Hunter Campbell release those text messages.
"Don't be a f**king liar. My reputation has already taken enough hits. I don't need this bullsh*t, Dana. I never asked for Deontay Wilder's numbers. And how about since Deontay is making $30 million, we settle for half of that. Since you said I'm the GOAT and everything."

— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) May 29, 2020
Don't be a fucking liar, my reputation has already taking enough hits. I don't need this bullshit Dana. I never asked for Diante Wilder's numbers. And how about since Diante is making 30 million, we settle for half of that. Since you said I'm the goat and everything.
Jones also took aim at White after he touted the paydays earned by the UFC light heavyweight champion during his career despite a multitude of problems outside the cage.
"The guy's made a lot of money," White said. "If you look at Jon Jones' track record, show me somebody that has the track record that this guy has and has made the money that Jon Jones has made. It doesn't happen."
Jones definitely took exception that that classification, but offered White and the UFC a simple solution they do in fact view him as a problem child.
"I don't even make half of half of what Deontay Wilder makes," Jones said. "If my reputation causes you to undervalue me this much, just go ahead and release my from my UFC contract all together. I'm sure some promoter somewhere will be more than happy to pick me up.
"And if I wanted to compare money to someone else, I would compare money to my brothers. I see firsthand the way the NFL treats their champion athletes. There's a huge difference. I've kept my mouth shut my entire career."
I don't even make half of half of what Diante Wilder makes. If my reputation causes you to undervalue me this much. Just go ahead and release me from my @Ufc contract altogether. I'm sure some promoter somewhere will be more than happy to pick me up.
And if I wanted to compare money to someone else, I would compare money to my brothers. I see firsthand the way the NFL treats their champion athletes, there's a huge difference. I've kept my mouth shut my entire career.
Jones' younger brother Chandler Jones is currently in the middle of a five-year deal he inked with the Arizona Cardinals in 2017 worth $82.5 million.
While he's not disputing that he makes good money for his fights, Jones refuses to believe a showdown with Ngannou at heavyweight shouldn't be worth a bigger payday — even if he says a specific number was never discussed.
"Do I make [$5+ million] per fight, yes. Should I stick to that number for my superfights? No," Jones wrote. "If you don't agree with me, you just don't know business. I certainly didn't ask for [$30 million], never even threw out a number."
Do I make 5+ per fight yes. Should I stick to that number for my super fights? No. If you don't agree with me you just don't know business. I certainly didn't ask for 30, never even threw out a number.

Tahrir Square … a birth of a nation
Tahrir Square…. a birth of a nation!
The Egyptian popular uprising that erupted on January 25th resulted in a birth of nation where millions of Egyptians found out that Egypt is their own country and not Mubarak's and his family. This dignity revolution didn't start from Zero, it started from a Square; the Tahrir Square, (Liberation Square) . The famous square is a major public focal place in Downtown Cairo. It combines all the contrasts in Egypt, from the Egyptian Museum, Hilton hotel, surrounded by elegant buildings that was modeled as the Paris of the Nile. Also it has the biggest public bus station where thousands of poor Egyptians congregate every day to go to work and homes. It took its prominence in the 19th Century when another Mubarak -Ali Pasha Mubarak was charged with remodeling Cairo commissioned by Egyptian ruler at the time Ismail Pasha. And was named Ismailia Square, The square's name was changed to Midan Tahrir or 'Liberation Square after the first Egyptian Revolution of 1952. The square has been the traditional gathering place for Egyptians with a grievance – from the bread riots of 1977 to the protests against the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Square had been the symbol for the Egyptian regime for years, at least until 1972 general strike, when the midan (square) became the focus of the student movement and opposition to Sadat regime. It was 24th of January 1971, which witnessed a dramatic escalation in the confrontation between students and the Sadat government. Students discovered that the leaders of a sit-in at Cairo University had been arrested. Some 20,000 infuriated students headed towards central Cairo, where security forces failed to disperse them and stopping them from reaching the Square. This was the first time on which President Sadat had to face street riots, and it sets a precedent which he never forgave or forgot. I was a college freshman student who just moved to Cairo from a small village in the delta, politically fragile, never participated in any meaningful way in politics. They announced in the school about the general strike at Tahrir Sqaure, It also witnessed my first day in political life. Against my parents and the rest of family wishes I decide to go, not to participate in the general strike but to be there. I walked the short ½ mile from my house through Qaser Ein street, people were coming from everywhere, no chanting no conversation, just slow steadfast movement, as if something big is about to happened. Once I got to the Square where thousands of people were there already, we congregated around the center where the most elegant public fountain in Egypt, (no longer there now) surrounded by 10,000 students chanting, joking, and talking, the night fall was cold, the air was thick. Students started climbing walls and posts, bringing down advertisements billboards and pictures of Sadat and his family, all were consumed by a huge camp fire. It was like Woodstock without drugs and sex. As the night went on, the big crowd broke downs to smaller groups, people with different grievances and different interest, start forming their own groups, breaking away from the center where the hard core protesters are, the further the you are from the center, the more inclined to leave on your own. People started trickling out of the Sqaure, you don't notice these attrition, the crowd that reached in thousands, now a few hundreds. These are the hard core ones and they had no plan to leave. I wanted to see it to the end, the Square was surrounded by thousands of national security forces and riots police. People can leave but there wasn't any ones coming to replace them. At about 3am, a high ranking police officer approached the crowd, from a short distant he gave his order on a horn speaker, you have seven minutes to leave the Square. The crowd cheered a shown of their defiance. Everyone looked at each other to feel the mood. Things were tense, the organizers asked the crowd to set next to each other and hold hands in confrontation of the police forces, at this point, you have no option but to stay with the group. Rows of police troops equipped with riots platoons and full geared started moving closer. The group chanting started rising "Belady … Belady", oh my nations, oh my nations to rally everyone to stay. The security forces seemed undaunted, kept getting closer. "we are all Egyptians, we are all Egyptians, chanted the crowd, no communication was taking place. "they don't speak our language", joked a protester. The stake was so high and your survival now depends on everyone else survival. A few minutes later and without any warning, all the lights at the square went off, and tear gas were flying everywhere. The security police quickly charged in concert. No amount of patriotism can keep those hard core protesters together, you lose your sense of place, you don't who is next to you, your connection with your group breaks down, now what is left for you to do is to run away from it all. As I was terrified, I saw a young female student whom I never seen before, trembled and fell inside the public fountain, five or six security forces descended on her beaten her with such brutality I never seen before, I stopped dragged her and we both ran away, we never spoke or saw her again. That day, on January 24th, 1971 at about 4am, I realized in Egypt, our government eat their own children like wolves, my sense of Egypt was never the same again.

Guardian Chambers is committed to providing a high quality defence for serious sexual offences. Our members of chambers have experience in serious sexual cases and continually demonstrate the necessary skills to successfully defend clients accused of sexual offending.
Those skills include: understanding clients who are suffering the natural stress of facing such charges; sensitivity in cross-examining vulnerable witnesses (particularly children); thorough care in the overall preparation for the defence of sexual charges and skilled and incisive presentation in Court.
Often the credibility of the complainant is the main issue at trial and it is necessary to raise inconsistencies during cross-examination and highlighting possible reasons for false allegations.
Members of chambers will provide timely and well-considered advice to clients and investigators (when necessary) on the lines of enquiry to pursue in the preparation of a defence. This advice will be given against the background of the complexities of the Evidence Act and Victim's Rights legislation. We go to great lengths to ensure the relevant information is disclosed to us from the police and other government agencies. That way we can be sure we have everything at hand to mount the strongest possible defence.
We understand the importance of thorough preparation, measured and well-timed cross-examination and strongly presented arguments to judges and juries.

Q: If I subclass from EKReminder will I be able to save my custom class to the eventstore on iCloud I would like to develop a custom Reminders application. The properties and methods the EKReminder has by default are not enough. If I subclass it and then add all the extra properties and stuff I need will I be able to save it to the iCloud reminders/calendar event store?
Will the "normal" Reminders app be able to "see" my saved custom reminders and manipulate part of data it can see on them?

A: EKReminder(subclass of EKCalendarItem : EKObject : NSObject just like EKEvent) is not meant to be subclassed. Event Kit objects are used to represent database records. Creating a subclass of EKReminder will not magically insert new fields in the Event Kit database, nor will casting a EKReminder to something else magically change that object' class.
The only way to store extra fields into the database is to have a direct access to that database, which Apple reserves for themselves.
As you cannot add new fields to the Event Kit database, you can either use the existing fields (for example, add the event ID in the notes of the event) or extend it with a second database managed by your application (in which case you can't use calDAV to store your objects).
Found the answer here and modified it to fit my question.
Properly subclassing the EKEvent Class

Home President Bhutan PM calls on President
Bhutan PM calls on President
DHAKA, April 13, 2019 (BSS) – Bangladesh and Bhutan expressed keen interest to take the existing bilateral trade and investment relations to new heights as Bhutanese Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering called on President M Abdul Hamid at Bangabhaban here this evening.
"They expressed identical views that Bangladesh and Bhutan have many potential areas and the trade and investment relations between the two countries can be taken to new heights," Principal Information Officer (PIO) Md Joynal Abedin told BSS.
Welcoming the Bhutanese prime minister, President Hamid said Bangladesh always gives priority to the longstanding bilateral relations with Bhutan.
The President expressed gratitude for the assistance and cooperation extended by Bhutan during Bangladesh's Liberation War in 1971 and said Bangladesh sees Bhutan with special honor as it was the first country to recognize Bangladesh.
Referring to the existing excellent relations with Bhutan, the President said the multilateral trade and commerce relations are increasing gradually as well.
"If the Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) signed between Bangladesh and Bhutan during the visit can be implemented, the existing relations would reach a new height in days to come.
Dr Lotay lauded the development and progress of Bangladesh under the present government and hoped that Bangladesh would be able to maintain this development trend in future.
Recalling his medical student life in Bangladesh, Dr Lotay expressed his happiness.
About the meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the visiting Bhutanese PM said different bilateral issues were discussed and the outcome of the meeting would become a millstone in future.
On arrival at Bangabhaban, the head of the state presented a flower bouquet to the Bhutanese prime minister at 6:30 pm.
From Bhutan side, Foreign Minister Lyonpo Tandi Dorji, Health Minister Lyonpo Dechen Wangmo, Ambassador of Bhutan to Bangladesh Sonam Tobden Rabgye while from Bangladesh side, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen, State Minister for Disaster Management and Relief Dr Enamur Rahman, Foreign Secretary Md. Sahidul Haque, Bangladesh Ambassador to Bhutan Jishnu Roy Choudhury, and senior officials of the Bhutan government, secretaries concerned to the Bangabhaban, were present there. Dr Lotay arrived here with a 26-member Bhutanese business delegation on Friday morning on a three-day official visit to Bangladesh at the invitation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
