Hideout 125
Hideout 125's Lamb Pasta and Golden Age cocktail, photography by Neal Bruns
There's a problem about Hideout 125 Restaurant & Lounge, admittedly a happy one for owners Brian Shreffler and Panos Bourounis.
Now that everyone is discovering its beguiling mix of comfy hospitality with worth-the-drive food – from hand-cut steaks through inventive small plates and the chef's latest dessert with bacon to vintage cocktails, wines you don't find just anyplace and well-chosen craft beers – everyone is going to be hiding out together.
But, as the 125 in the name indicates (12-5-1933 is the date Prohibition was repealed, making it, Shreffler said, "the most important drinking day in American history" in addition to his birthday), we don't need secrecy any more.
Hideout 125 is on the leading edge of the fine dining and drinking wave on Fort Wayne's north side, at least in response to the recent growth out there. Bourounis was already interested in the Dupont Road location when he started talking to Shreffler about it.
"With the hospitals and everything else, this is the next area for Fort Wayne for growth, outside of downtown," Shreffler said. "Competition-wise, there's not a whole lot this far north. I'd rather be in on it early than when there are 10 to 15 restaurants already here."
The two have given northern Fort Wayne a high concept, completely approachable and welcoming, fine-dining restaurant with a bar menu like nothing else in Fort Wayne, harkening back 100 years to the way cocktails used to be mixed.
The menu ranges from beef and lamb to seafood and chicken with vegetarian options.
On the menu, every appetizer, salad, soup, small plate, entree, dessert, whatever, has recommendations of a cocktail, a wine and a beer. It encourages experimentation, Shreffler said, and diners are discovering new favorites and rediscovering old ones.
He has been delighted by how popular the Kale Salad has become. It features house-made dressing and croutons.
"I did that for me, thinking it was going to be something I was going to have to take off the menu," he said. "It's a way to get people to eat a healthy, good-for-you green. I was pleasantly surprised.
"It's very simple, just so good. People love the buttermilk dressing, the white cheddar croutons and the poached egg on top. It's going really, really well."
The beverage suggestions with the Kale Salad are the Moscow Mule cocktail, the Domaine Lafage Cote d'Est wine from France and Dogfish Head's 61 Minute craft beer.
If you order a Moscow Mule with your salad, it will be made fresh for you, but Hideout 125 offers six cocktails that are aging to perfection in little barrels behind the bar: Rusty Nail, Brooklyn, Old Fashioned, Martinez, Seven Year Itch (Shreffler's homage to Marilyn Monroe) and Negroni.
"I'm trying to figure out how to do a cocktail on tap," he admitted.
It is possible to offer wine on tap, and Hideout 125 was the first restaurant in town to offer wines that way, he said.
"It's absolutely the best way to serve wine, always the appropriate temperature, the way the winemaker wanted the wine to be," he said. Customers tell him they've never had them taste so good.
The entire menu is available on the website. Much of it stays the same, but seasonal changes are made, he said.
For fall, the lamb entree is going seasonal with mushrooms, butternut squash, carmelized onions, pasta and a chiffonade of mint in a pan sauce with mascarpone. He's adding a braised short ribs dish and a chicken-and-waffles dish, plus some seared scallops and a grilled bone-in New York strip steak and changing the walleye preparation.

This is another artist that I found featured on the blog 500 Photographers. Francesca Galliani was born in Italy and moved to the US when she was 19. She got a BA in Fine Art from the Cocoran School of Art. Galliani has had her photography exhibited throughout the United States and Europe in both solo and group shows. Her work was used in many fashion magazines as well. She is also collected across the world for her unique photography style.
I love the mixed media style that Francesca Galliani has. She uses painting and collage and writing along with the photographic medium to create strong imagery that captures a viewer and pulls them in to tell a story about Galliani's subjects. The images are from Francesca Galliani's website portfolios from the sections asia, movements, nudes, and transgender.


[Mike Daikubara in Rockport, MA] Last month I read Fred's great post on the red fishing shack and really wanted to go check it out. For years I knew about the location called Rockport in North of Boston but for some reason never made it out here. I finally made it out here last week!
Rockport is a cute little town, very artsy and very touristy but still felt nice since most shops were locally owned. Since it was the weekend, there were lots of people but it also didn't feel over crowded.
Walking around, it was easy to spot the red fishing shack called Motif #1. I always thought that was a nick name but looking at the plaque on the building, it surprised me that it was actually the official name.
My first sketch shown at the top was from across the water on spot 1 marked on the tiny map I drew. This first sketch was indeed really hard to do for me - not because of the complexity of the angle, shapes, colors etc, but because it was such a commonly drawn subject as Fred described it really well in his post. I felt I was desperately trying to find some way to make it my own by overlaying the plaque info and drawing on the mini map of the location.
Sketch 2 was drawn after having a nice lobster roll, Oysters and Clam chowder lunch. Exiting the restaurant in the back came out to this view. There weren't enough seating in the restaurant so many people were eating out here which looked really nice - I should do that next time. Also after lunch, I felt much more relaxed when sketching this quick view.
Bonus sketch: I only went to go sketch Motif #1 but couldn't pass by sketching this place with a large paper doll of Gumby and Pokey. My wife even bought the 2 tiny rubber dolls from this fun/cute shop.
It seems Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds even shot a film called "The Proposal" right in front of this shop too.

Pseudoenzyme
From Proteopedia
proteopedia link proteopedia link
Pseudoenzymes are proteins that cannot catalyze chemical reactions despite being clearly related structurally to functioning enzymes. Many enzyme families contain inactive members. For example, a number of human kinases lack at least one of the key amino acids necessary for catalysis of phosphate transfer [1]. Often pseudoenzymes still have biological roles, albeit non-catalytic. Some assist true enzymes in obtaining functional folds, some server as platforms for other proteins to interact, and some are escorts for proteins [2][3].
3D structures of Pseudoenzymes
Toxoplasma virulence factor, ROP5 pseudokinase (3q5z and 3q60)
C-terminal domain of splicing factor Prp8p (2og4) resembles an isopeptidase converted to a platform
the structure of a fragment of integrin-like kinase (3kmu and 3kmw) demonstrated it is not a kinase and instead serves a structural role linking the cell's cytoskeleton to surface receptors
RLCK family member, the Brassinosteroid signaling kinase (4i92, 4i93, 4i94)
the pseudokinase MLKL (4btf) involved in triggering cell death by necroptosis
Crystal structure of the pseudoenzyme PDX1.2 in complex with its cognate enzyme PDX1.3
pseudokinase
CASK (3c0i, 3c0h, and 3c0g) was originally thought to be a [Pseudoenzyme|pseudoenzyme]], but after the structural was solved it was apparent it could use alternative amino acids in the kinase reaction, see Mukherjee et al., 2008 [4] and Kanaan and Taylor, 2008 [5]

For women facing domestic violence, access to shelter can save their lives. Shelter that is supportive and safe creates resilient survivors, who feel protected and empowered. It means more than a bed to sleep in and a roof over her head. It also means facilitating her access to physical safety, legal protection, justice and the postshelter support that will empower her to move towards a better, safer future that is free from violence.
Strengthen the support for the spectrum of services provided by trained personnel that is required for the woman survivor: from safe space accommodation options, to case management support, to empowerment programs for women survivors of domestic violence.
Increase the access of women survivor of domestic violence to community resources that can enhance their well-being, empowerment and independence.
Promote the resiliency of women survivors of domestic violence to be more aware of the options available to them; and to increase their confidence in decision making.
Strengthen the capacity of civil society, shelter providers, government agencies and other community based actors in providing access care, support and protection to women survivors of domestic violence.
Encourage the start-up of more shelters for women surviving domestic violence.

Frostpunk •
Has Frostpunk been improved by its updates?
Rich McCormick
13th February 2019 / 5:00PM
Update Night is a fortnightly column in which Rich McCormick revisits games to find out whether they've been changed for better or worse.
My people are fed, my homes are warm, my resources are abundant, and my generator is purring like a well-fed cat. For the first time in Frostpunk, things aren't looking so bleak.
It's a strange feeling. Typically by this point in 11-Bit Studios' icebound strategy game, I've lost half my populace to sickness and the other half are so ravaged by frostbite that I can split a pack of socks between six families. But playing on the game's new Endless Mode's "Serenity" variant, I've finally got the time, space, and resources I never had before to build a city designed for more than just survival.
So we thrive, instead. Storms still roll in, but my insulated houses and network of well-stocked steam heaters make them little more than extra-snow snow days for my workers, who can just penguin-waddle their way to their jobs in cosy coal mines and thoroughly heated hospitals. Discontent flares up, as it's likely to do in a post-apocalyptic icebox, but it's smooshed back down again by easy access to fresh food and warmth. Things are going so well that I can even splurge on a few gardens: steam-fed public spaces that serve little purpose other than prettying up the place.
Serenity mode dials back the challenges inherent in the game's regular campaign, providing increased resources and pre-researching vital technologies to give players a leg up, allowing them to focus on building the perfect city to survive the turbo-Arctic. It makes Frostpunk's icy armageddon more of a backdrop than a breaking point, the thick carpet of snow lending the already Victorian proceedings a Christmassy air.
It's also, after months of peace and prosperity, quite boring.
There's only one thing for it: it's time for me to declare myself a divine ruler and boil alive anyone who questions my rule, and write my name in unnecessary and expensive lights. The former is easy: it's just a case of moving further down Frostpunk's "Faith" tech tree, enacting law after law that codifies first the worship of a divine, before standing up and outing myself as the divine in question. Some people disagree with that assessment, but I'm the one who's keeping them warm and fed in minus-90 conditions, and if they still fail to see sense, well — that's what the steamy-pipey-execution thingy in my town square is for.
The latter is trickier. Serenity setting in Endless Mode is tagged as being "for constructors," and that's true, as long as you like your city creation more in the realm of civil engineering than creative landscaping. There are only a handful of decorative buildings, and those that were included in the update — streetlamps, public squares, and gardens — don't stand out much against the intricate steampunk Victoriana of the game's other structures.
I focused instead on symmetry. Where I'd once built for necessity, placing buildings for warmth — closest to the central generator — or for access to resources, I started building for aesthetics. I knocked down houses that had started as tents, letting people go homeless for a night as I put up new digs in concentric rings around my town, interspersing them with clinics and cookhouses at regular intervals. It didn't make a jot of difference to productivity or survival, but it looked nicer, and every self-professed deity needs a hobby. That's what they say about being a totalitarian dictator: you've got to make your own fun.
Outside of unnecessary construction projects, I spent my time sending scouts out to dig up old treasures. The Endless update also added Archives, a new building designed to house relics left over from the old world, before it got all colded up. I had find 15 of these in order to fill my Archives, and sent scouts hopping from empty cave, to ruined shelter, to supply cache, on the lookout for the rusted-out hulks of dreadnoughts in order to dig them out.
I say I "had to" find these; I don't mean it. There's no material prize for getting relics, bar a short passage of text and an image, hinting at an old steampunk world of automatons, balloon-piloting hunters, and temperatures that actually used the top end of the thermometer. By far the bigger prize out in the wastes are survivors. Warm bodies brought back will join the workforce and increase the size of your city, but even on Serenity setting, Endless Mode doesn't allow for an infinite increase in populace: my population capped out at just under 700.
With that cap restricting any hope of building a new megacity, my interest waned in my icy slice of life as I closed in on the 100-day mark, and I made the decision to take what I'd learned to the other side of the Endless Mode update: Endurance mode. As it turned out, my life as an indolent fake deity hadn't prepared me well for a harder and more grueling version of a game that already had a reputation for both difficulty and gruel.
100 days? I was lucky to reach 10, the mode's lack of resources, colder weather, and nastier storms ensuring that any stockpiles I was able to put together were raided faster than I could dig out new materials. I was banished into the wastes to die as a failure, and as my avatar trudged away, I blamed a few foibles with Frostpunk in 2019: the fact that important buildings can look a little too similar in the winter wasteland, and that major drains on your resources can be a little tricky to diagnose from a distance without a lot of clicking.
But most of all I blamed myself. Endurance mode feels like Frostpunk at its hardest: the same threats as the toughest portions of the original campaign, with no end in sight. Surviving, let alone thriving, in this mode felt to me as unfair as instant global cooling would actually be. But despite that difficulty, it felt like there was a potential path through the end of the world, if I'd built exactly the right things at exactly the right time in exactly the right order, then maybe — if I'd also demanded double shifts and put children to work in the coal mines — I could've kept my people alive.
I'm not that ruler. In games I'm happier being worshipped by, than working for, the masses, and balancing the demands of Frostpunk's campaigns already pushed my management limits. Even back at launch, that mode did something very difficult in strategy gaming: it made you care about every resource. Do I spend wood on roads, or research? Do I burn it now for immediate charcoal, or keep it in stores for tougher times ahead? Do I really need steel now, or can it wait? Multiple decisions about multiple resources with multiple variables keep most of Frostpunk's modes teetering on a knife edge, and the release of Endless Mode only highlights the improvements that 11-Bit have made since the game's launch last April. Patches and hotfixes make the cold world more liveable, and neat additions like a photo mode have made it more inviting. Endurance and Serenity modes are the game's extremes, but at its warm heart, 11-Bit's game has only gotten better with updates.

Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi has said her authorities does not worry "international scrutiny" of its coping with of the growing Rohingya disaster.
It was her first deal with to the united states about the violence in northern Rakhine kingdom that has seen extra than four hundred,000 Rohingya Muslims go into Bangladesh.
Ms Suu Kyi, who has decided no longer to attend the UN General Assembly in New York later this week, stated she though wanted the global network to realize what was being completed by using her government.
Hours after her speech, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva referred to as for complete get admission to to the vicinity so it may investigate the state of affairs "with its personal eyes".
What is the disaster about?
Rakhine has confronted unrest and sporadic violence for years, but the cutting-edge crisis commenced in August with an armed attack on police posts which killed 12 humans.
Rohingya Muslims started out leaving in significant numbers, crossing into Bangladesh with memories in their villages being burned and pronouncing they were going through persecution on the hands of the navy. Thousands of Rohingya had already fled to Bangladesh in current years.
Ms Suu Kyi has overwhelming support in her domestic u . S . A ., wherein she became a political prisoner for years earlier than coming to power.
But her speech has been criticised internationally for failing to deal with the allegations of abuse by means of the army.
The attack became blamed on the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (Arsa).
Since then loads of thousands of Rohingya Muslims – a stateless minority in the Buddhist-majority country Rakhine – have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh near the city of Cox's Bazar.
Rohingya's declare that they may be being forced out in their villages by the nation's navy, whereas the state claims that the refugees and Muslim militants are burning their very own homes.
On Monday Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said: "I even have spoken to [Ms Suu Kyi] several times when you consider that this complete disaster started out, and it's miles barbaric what's taking place to the Rohingya, there may be no question approximately it.
Access to the Rakhine place is confined by using the nation, that means that journalists are simplest allowed into the location on authorities-managed journeys.
In a speech to Myanmar's parliament on Tuesday , Ms Suu Kyi said Rakhine would allow refugees back in to the region, after a "procedure of verification".
Rohingya Muslims are known as Bengali Muslim's via the government, and are denied citizenship and equal opportunities by the authorities.

On this page you will find a list of Push Gaming Casinos, updated for 2018, and including only fully licensed UK slot sites where you can play the very best Push Gaming slots, including favourites like Fat Rabbit and Tiki Tumble. For more information on each casino click the Read More option where you'll find a full review with welcome bonus, game and cashier information.
It's an exciting time to be a slots fan. Recent years have seen breakthroughs for many young software studios producing exciting new games and challenging the monopoly of NetEnt, Microgaming and the rest.
One such company is Push Gaming.
Push formed in London in 2010. They began their journey as a small game producer, converting land-based games to the online environment. Like all good game studios, they quickly realised the future was in mobile, and in 2013 Push began exclusively developing games for the HTML5 platform that would make their games work on across all devices.
An exclusive deal to publish games for Unibet quickly followed, and their first HTML 5 only game was released in 2015. Since then, of course, Push Gaming have partnered up with many operators to publish games across all the casinos listed on this page.
In 2018 Push produced their first really high variance slot, a game called Tiki Tumble. It immediately gained an excited following amongst the slot streaming community who love its potential for massive payouts in the free spins round, brought on by a clever Nudging Wilds feature which combines with extra spins and multipliers to shift the payout potential up a gear.
Fat Rabbit, another high variance title, has since followed and has helped the Push reputation to grow further. Once again it's he bonus round that sees the opportunity for big wins here – the rabbit in the title chomps his way through carrots that land on the reels, and in doing so increases in size to a 2×2 wild, a 3×3 wild, a 4×4 wild, and just possibly, a 5×5 full screen wild for the top payout!
Since these two games helped establish Push Gaming's position as a force to be reckoned with in the UK slots market, further titles have been released, including the summer-themed Wild Swarm, the music-themed Turn It Up! and the soon-to-be-classic, Viking Clash.
We expect to see many more exciting games from Push in the coming months, so keep your eyes out for news on The Slot Buzz.

Personal data: any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Consent of the data subject: any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of his/her personal data.

Q: Google sheets - Formula parse error on many conditions I'm trying to place the above formula on Google sheets:
=IF((L2 > 0 && !(L48 >= 0) && !(L94 >= 0)) || (L2 == 0 && L48 >=0 && L94 >= 0), False, L1)

But all I'm getting is:

Error: Formula parse error.

According to benlcollins site my problem can be due to:

*

*manually type in a $ symbol to refer to an amount, but Google Sheets thinks you're referring to an absolute.

*missed a "&" when concatenating text and numerical values.

*messed up the closing brackets.

I don't understand what is the problem with my formula.
Thanks for the help.

A: It looks as though you're trying to enter a formula into the sheet using Javascript syntax. Google sheets inherits the syntax for formulas from Excel and it's completely different.
Some of the differences are:-

So if you apply it to your formula you get:
=IF(or(and(L2 > 0 , not(L48 >= 0) , not(L94 >= 0)) , AND(L2 = 0, L48 >=0 , L94 >= 0)), False, L1)

It might be worth adding that you will only get 'false' if the specific condition stated in the first part of your IF statement is satisfied - otherwise the IF will default to the second alternative result, L1. It would be more common to use an IF with only two arguments in a situation like this, so if the condition is satisfied you get the result stated, otherwise it defaults to false:
if(<condition>,<result>)    <= gives false if condition not satisfied.

Patricia Arquette is making headlines over wage inequality; best-selling books analyse the growing gap between rich and poor… Online wine forum members rail against the unaffordability of top Bordeaux and Burgundy, and the madness of Napa.
It all puts me in mind of my nine year-old's favourite board game. The brilliance of Monopoly lies in the varying values and earning potentials of the differently-coloured properties. If you are lucky enough to buy the two dark blue squares and can afford to build some houses or hotels, you stand a much better chance of winning the game than the player who's only been able to accumulate the brown and purple ones.
The parallel with wine is all too clear. If you own land in Napa or Pauillac or Vosne Romanée, you operate in a different world to the ones occupied by those languishing in California's Central Valley, the Mâconnais or Entre Deux Mers. As the price of top wines rises with every vintage – give or take the occasional hiccup – those at the bottom barely move, which is why those Central Valley grapegrowers are switching to almonds.
But as with wages, it's not just the poor who get squeezed; it's getting tougher for the middle classes. This was illustrated by the recent decision by Jean Christophe Mau and the Dirkzwager family to sell their Médoc property, Chateau Preuillac. Over the years since buying it in 1998, Mau, former owner of the négociant firm Yvon Mau, had made leviathan efforts to improve the quality of the wine, and had become deeply involved in the battles surrounding the revision of the Cru Bourgeois classification. But, as he admitted to me in December, ultimately there's a limit to what you can do with a mid-level Médoc estate. It made much more sense to invest in the Maus' and Dirkzwagers' Chateau Brown which, as a Pessac Léognan, is more of a Green or Orange Monopoly property.
The polarisation of Bordeaux appellations is acknowledged by almost everyone who knows the region. Christian Moueix always loved his Fronsac estates and produced some tremendous wines in them, but eventually he admitted defeat and moved to concentrate on Pomerol and St Emilion; Bernard Magrez of Chateau Pape-Clément took the same view regarding his lesser Bordeaux estates.
All this occurred to me while listening to a good friend telling me about the Napa vineyard they are about to buy. At first sight, the land prices are crazy; at up to $350,000 per acre, they have risen by nearly nine times in just over a quarter of a century. You can buy three acres in Sonoma for the price of one in Napa. But… the only reason Napa land costs as much as it does, of course, is the demand, both for Napa lifestyle and Napa Cabernet at $100 per bottle, and that shows no signs of slowing.
Patricia Arquette is right, of course, to call for women to earn as much as men, but neither she nor anyone else is ever going to stop the most popular stars – in business, entertainment or sports – from commanding higher incomes than their less glittery peers. The irony of Arquette's position, however, is that the statue she carried home on Sunday, raised her value over other similarly talented actors who failed to make the nomination.
You can argue with the logic of this as much as you like – is a Napa Cab really three times better than a red from the adjoining county?), but you might as well be arguing with the makers of Monopoly over the price tags and rental values of their dark blue squares.

Q: Getting the date only in a varchar datafield using MySql This is somehow confusing for me... I have a table called DepositCash and somehow the user inputs date of deposit and his/her name in a varchar field... The system date only gets the date today...
Anyone have ideas on how to get the date only in the varchar field(descriptn) without getting the name as well? Does this have a query on how to get it by using a Like Clause?
Here's the contents of the table.

A: For the format you have given, you can use substring_index():
select substring_index(descriptn, ' ', 1)

You an use str_to_date() to actually convert the value to a date:
select str_to_date(substring_index(descriptn, ' ', 1), '%m/%d/%Y')

A: Gordon literally answered your question, but I think the best answer is to not store dates as text, certainly not in the same field as the name.  Instead, consider normalizing you table to look something like the following:
DATE     | AMOUNT   | DEPOSIT_DATE | NAME
6/1/2017 | 43184.25 | 6/2/2017     | Marie
6/2/2017 | 10563.00 | 6/3/2017     | Jacq
6/2/2017 | 37065.50 | 6/3/2017     | Abby

If in your app layer for some reason you do receive a date and a name in the same field, you can easily use some regex to tease them apart, and then store them into separate columns in your table.


Fast food and home care workers—the vast majority of them minority women who are living in poverty—have been striking for a living wage. Middle class and low-income families across the country are struggling to make ends meet. And while they are busy fighting to provide for their families and earn a living, their constitutional right to vote—to participate in democracy, to voice their opinions on the policies that shape this country—is under attack.
Apprenticeship Programs Are Leaving Out Women and People of Color. Here's How to Fix That.
Every day in communities across the United States, regular people are coming together to imagine, create, and demand better futures for themselves and their communities. While they occasionally make the news, more often their efforts go unnoticed.
In Detroit, elders volunteer to patrol their neighborhoods, using walkie-talkies to communicate and to combat break-ins. In San Francisco, several women created their own support group called Solutions for Women that encourages emotional wellness and promotes education. In Boston, a group of neighbors converted a vacant, trash-filled, city owned lot into a gardening space with compost, flower beds, and a rainwater-catching system that allows them to grow food, learn about urban agriculture, and build community.
Until we recognize and hold up these collective efforts, we will miss critical lessons about how we can effectively tackle the issues our communities care about – like community safety, social justice, economic mobility, and better health.
El Valle Women's Collaborative is based in the rural town of Ribera, New Mexico. The founding members created the group to address a unique set of environmental and economic challenges faced by families in their community. Their goal: to strengthen their economy so they could work where they live and create a safe space for neighbors to gather and engage in community-building events and activities. The group has established several projects in pursuit of their mission, including El Valle Thrift Exchange, a retail thrift store that allows customers to pay what they can afford instead of a set price; Earn and Learn, a small business development training program; and Bueno Para Todos Cooperative, which supports local farmers in taking their produce to market.
HOLA Ohio was founded to improve opportunities for the Latino community in northeast Ohio through organizing, advocacy, and civic engagement. In the early 2000s, the population of immigrant workers grew exponentially and led to clashes with the established community, as well as labor abuses, discrimination, and disparities in healthcare and education. What started as a small, informal group of Latino immigrants in Painesville, Ohio, has since grown into four chapters that have influenced immigration policy both locally and nationally. The group has saved many immigrants from incarceration and family separation due to deportation. Through political education, HOLA empowers its members who previously lived in fear on the margins of society.
Facing one of the highest crime rates in the country—and following the murder of a young resident—community members in North Oakland, California organized the North Oakland Restorative Justice Council to examine ways to sustainably curb violence in their neighborhood. The group meets every month to review evictions, shootings, and other local conflicts. They also organize trainings, fundraisers, healing circles, and other approaches to preventing, treating, and managing interpersonal and institutional community violence. In 2015, the group will launch a restorative justice alternative sentencing pilot project to help bring an end to the "preschool to prison" pipeline for youth in North Oakland.
Finally, KhushDC, is a volunteer-supported group that promotes awareness and acceptance—along with fostering positive cultural and sexual identity—for members of the South Asian lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) community. KhushDC organizes advocacy initiatives to address the criminalization of homosexuality and hate crimes due to race, sexual orientation, and gender presentation. The group also collaborates with other LGBTQ organizations in the DC metropolitan area to host discussion groups, participate in Gay Pride events, and organize other social events that build a sense of community.
These Torchlight Prize winners represent a small sample of the powerful work that's happening in communities across the country. They show us that by working together, families and communities can achieve powerful and sustainable results and tackle some of our nation's most pressing social and economic challenges. They also remind us that in addition to pushing for policy solutions, we need to examine and support the collective work being done by community based organizations to spur economic and social mobility.
A different way forward is possible, and by working together, we can make change happen.

In America, we punish people for being poor. From predatory lending, to the criminalization of homelessness, to modern day debtors' prisons, we make life expensive for individuals and families who are already struggling to make ends meet.
Because the felony drug ban was adopted with little debate, it's hard to know exactly what Congress intended. But we can measure the law's effect. Last year, The Sentencing Project found that the legislation subjects an estimated 180,000 women in the twelve most impacted states to a lifetime ban on welfare benefits.
Given racial disparities throughout the criminal justice system — particularly related to the war on drugs — banning benefits based on a prior drug conviction has brutally unfair consequences for people of color. About 60% of people in America's prisons are racial and ethnic minorities. Of those individuals serving time for drug offenses, about two-thirds are black or Latino. Further, blacks are three to four times more likely to be arrested for drug offenses than whites, even though they use and sell drugs at roughly the same rates.
People who cannot meet basic needs may be more likely to turn to dangerous activities. A study by researchers at Yale Medical School found that women who are denied food assistance due to a drug conviction are at greater risk of hunger. These women are also more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior such as prostitution in order to get money for food.
The felony drug ban is just one of many collateral consequences that formerly incarcerated individuals face as they strive to reenter society. Some of these barriers are informal: an employer who will not hire a person with a criminal record; a university application that requires all applicants to "check the box" for a prior arrest or conviction.
Felony disenfranchisement laws – which date to colonial times but were tailored in the post-Reconstruction era to exclude black voters – place voting restrictions on an estimated 5.85 million Americans. In the upcoming elections, more than one in five black adults will be denied the right to vote in Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia due to a criminal conviction.
In recent months, federal lawmakers in both parties have introduced legislation to remove some of these barriers and promote a safer transition into society. The REDEEM Act, introduced by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rand Paul (R-KY), would allow the sealing of criminal records and lift the ban on benefits for some people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. Though the bill should go much further — for example, by also lifting restrictions on housing and education benefits — it is a good first step toward restoring access to assistance for individuals who urgently need it.
Former President Bill Clinton — who signed the felony drug ban into law — recently told a group of mayors and law enforcement officials that some measures intended to address crime have been misguided and others have gone too far. Clinton predicted that criminal justice reform would be debated in the 2016 presidential race. If so, it will represent a major shift in our politics, which have too often focused on getting tough on crime rather than on promoting healthy communities. But for millions of people who are still being punished long after completing their sentences, 2016 is too long to wait.
Fifty years ago President Johnson signed the Food Stamp Act of 1964 into law. The legislation made the food stamp program, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), permanent.
SNAP has helped to keep food on the table and in the fridges of families for five decades. It is also a program that helps keep kids and families healthy in times of need. Yet, despite its success, SNAP often faces political attacks that result in cuts to its funding.
One significant cut occurred almost a year ago on November 1, 2013. Every family participating in SNAP saw their benefits reduced, meaning less food and fewer meals. The impact of this and other cuts helps to show the importance of SNAP and demonstrates why it should be strengthened and celebrated instead of demonized and diminished.
It is critical that we learn and share more about SNAP—what it really does for families and why it is so important to millions of Americans. We need to help people understand that the program is a strong anti-poverty measure that helps families thrive.
That's why on Thursday, October 30 from 2:00-4:00 ET, the Center for Hunger-Free Communities, Witnesses to Hunger, and over 40 other organizations will tweet and post about SNAP using #snap4SNAP. We will post pictures, information, and stories about SNAP, and we hope you will join us.

Bonita is a mother of five, ranging in age from 6 to 26. She currently cares for her young niece whose parents both work but cannot afford safe childcare; once her niece goes to pre-k Bonita hopes to return to full-time employment to better the lives of her family members.
Kim is an advocate for social and economic injustices. She is also a member of Mothers for Justice, the New Haven Food Policy Council, and the Food Assistance Working Group.
Barbie is the mother of one son and one daughter. She was featured in the documentary A Place at the Table, sharing her experience of struggling with food insecurity and the cliff effect. Today, Barbie is an honor-roll student at Ezperanza College where she studies criminal justice.
Join us this Thursday as we snap into action to celebrate SNAP. You can take part by signing up here or simply hop on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram on Thursday from 2:00 – 4:00pm ET and search for #snap4SNAP.

Imagine doing your job everyday, thinking you're doing exactly what you're supposed to do to secure a living for your family. Then imagine getting fired for it out of the blue.
1) Would this still have happened if he weren't Black?
2) Can Target really be affording anymore negative press right now?!
Dallas Northington was an assets-protection specialist working in Target's loss prevention division for their Leesburg, Virginia store. For eight years he caught people stealing. For eight years he reported them to the police. For eight years he submitted recorded evidence of their wrongdoing.
However, his report on May 27th was different from all the others though. After a second incident with the same customer stealing from the store, he sent footage of a customer's alleged thievery to the police thinking he was doing his job not knowing it could cost him his.
The man Dallas was reporting to the police worked in law enforcement, maybe even as a Sheriff's Deputy. Northington was fired and accused by his supervisors of not filing proper paperwork and for acting insubordinately in not seeking out his supervisors first before filing a police report. Both of these are things that, in eight years, he'd never had to do before.
The Washington Post reports that he's currently deciding what he's going to pursue by way of legal action against Target, but in the end all he really wants is his job back. Kind of courageous considering the environment that contributed to his firing in the first place.


Neil started his career as a junior writer at BDH/TBWA where he progressed to become Head of Copy, working on brands such as Solvite, Indesit and MB games.
After seven years' freelance, divided between London and the North, he joined McCann Manchester.
His creative partnership with Dave Price has produced an extraordinary series of creative and effectiveness awards, including 5 BTAA arrows, eight D&AD's, 12 Campaign Poster and Press Awards, plus 4 Cannes Lions.
