American actor, best known for films such as Black Panther, 42, Draft Day, Captain America:Civil War, Gods of Egypt and TV series Persons Unknown.
Rob: What do you think the height differential between Boseman and Chris Evans is? 0.5 inch? They seem very close. I can't see it being more than this.
It probably has more to do with posture than extra footwear. I'd imagine during moments when Evans has looser posture, Chadwick can look pretty much the same height.
Okay now I can see Chris edge Chadwick a bit in most of them, it must be a footwear advantage for Chadwick when they look the same. I have to agree with Rob's listing now as well. Thank you for making aware of this!
I think Boseman usually holds an advantage over Michael B. Jordan by about 0.75-1 inch in event photos, they are not the same height despite their appearance in Black Panther. Also Rob represents a half inch advantage for Evans in their listings, which looks pretty consistent with how Chris and Chadwick appear together.
Even in that event Evans still generally edges him out as well as others.
I'd say this listing is just fine.
In some photos it does look like that. But both are 6'0", they're very similar in height in this photo here.
There isn't that big of a difference between him and Michael B. Jordan. Plus 6'0" Chris Evans edges him out in pretty much every photo.
Chadwick is easily a flat 6'0". He's an inch a half taller than Michael B. Jordan; 5'11.5" is too low of a listing in my opinion.
Chadwick is obviously 6'0". If y'all say he's 5'11" 1/2, 1/4 or even 3/4, he's basically 6'0" (1.83 m).
EdD No. He was taller in Black Panther, than Jordan. That was very clear, buy the movie and watch the frames as wel as camera angles that tried to make them look same. Jordan has stood next to Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans and Harrison Ford etc, and he looked same as Sebastian Stan in both real life and the move. Sebastian Stan is anywhere from 5'11 flat to 5'11.5, with 5'11 and 1/4 on this site very accurate. He is a hair under Chris Evans in all films and in real life too if one looks where the top of the head ends, Chris Evans is 6ft flat, not over,might be as short as 5'11 and 3/4. Chadwick is shorter than Chris Evans and shorter than Harrison Ford (who is 5'11.5 nowadays, not the 6-6'0.5'' he was 30-55 years ago. In this photo he is a bit taller than Chadwich if you look at the top of the head. Chadwick is 5'11 flat or 5'11 and 1/4. He is not 5'11.5. Sebastian Stan is at least as tall as him,everywhere and always and he is bit under Harrison Ford.They all are close to 1 inch under Chris Evans.
Closer to 5'11" flat is quite likely. I don't think there's a one big inch between him and Jordan, and Ford might be in 5'10 range also these days.
He's very slim so can look taller. 5 '11 max is my score..!
This guy surprises me. He's in his early 40's, yet almost looks 10 years younger. He looks only 5-10.5 in Black Panther, but looks over 5-11 standing next to Harrison Ford in the profile picture. Even so, he looked significantly shorter than Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther too, and that actor is listed as 5-10.5 here. I'm still going with 180cm as my guess, but I am hopeful that you get to stand next to him one day Rob.
Looked closer to 5'10" in Black Panther, really.
The camera made them look similar in height, but in reality I would say Chadwick's definitely the slightly taller guy here than Jordan.
He looked 5'10 and 170 pounds in Black Panther and shorter than Michael B Jordan.
What is the lowest you think he would measure in cm rob?
181cm flat...not impossible for him.
That Infinity War lineup picture shows Chadwick standing loosely. In other photos he and Cumberbatch look exactly the same height.
Also there's a number with Sterling K. Brown where Boseman looks perhaps comfortably 2 cm taller.
Editor Rob: sometimes he seems very close to 6 feet, other times I think 5ft 11.5 is perfect for him.
Does he personally claim 6'0?
Which is funny cause he looks pretty tall in the movie around 6'0 and over 200 lbs due to his broad shoulders plus Chadwick easily looks 10 years younger than his actual age.A strong 5'11 is great height for an actor,he can play superheros to athletes without looking too imposing.
The ground is not level on Boseman side standing next to Harrison Ford. He might be 6'0.
Mark, 181 give or take 5mms is perfect for this guy.
He usually has lax posture. Not too bad posture. However, he isn't far from 6'0" either. I can understand 6'0" listings for Boseman.
Finally someone gave him a downgrade. I love Chadwick, but I was baffled seeing so many people backing his 1.83 listing. He's never been able to top Chris Evans, and more recently Benedict Cumberbatch (whom this site has at 1.81-82) even with footwear advantage.
He looks 5'11.25 in that photo tbh, a lot of people have pegged boseman and cumberbatch at 181, with Chris at weak 6'3. You could make a case for it, but let's face it, rob has met a few mcu cast members and compares the few to the ones on screen. So if robs listing is off by a half inch, it's gonna be complicated to recognise, good luck with that. I doubt chris and boseman are 4 inches apart.
Guys,I'm not trying to prove something. I genuinely ask- is that really how a 5'11.5 person looks next to 6'3 guy?
grizz, can't you see 9 cm? if you think a quarter inch downgrade is necessary, good luck, cause 6.35 mm is more than just puzzling to notice. If you want, compare rob to a 182-3 guy like Jensen ackles or mikkelson.
So this is how a 5'11.5 man looks next to 6'3 man (Hemsworth)?
Great listing, the camera angle is Fords favour, throw the picture above out the window. Comparing him to Chris Evans, he measures 181.5 concretely.
Chadwick has a lot of lax posture while Sebastian is standing fully and he still edges out Sebastian.
Rob, take a look at photos with Michael B. Jordan (Click Here) Do you see more then two centimeters?
Editor Rob: you could say 3/4 inch is possible, but so would a full inch be arguable.
Rob, ifSebastian Stan is 5'11.25" then isnt Chadwick Boseman the same height then?
Editor Rob: sometimes in photos you could say Stan can look taller, but then overall, 5ft 11.25-5 could be argued for both.
Yeah Rob, I think it's more due to a subtle slouch that Chadwick has; Stan is noticeably standing as fully erect as possible.
Hey Rob, I firmly stand by anything between 182-183 cm for this guy, but how does Sebastian Stan edge him out in every photo of them side by side? Does he have camera proximity advantage?
Editor Rob: camera's can add and remove height at times. I'd have said they were close but at times it is true Stan can look taller.
He and Sebastian Stan should be reversed. You would think that them both being in the 5'11 range you couldn't see a difference but you can. Just like with Sebastian and Chris, Chris has him edged out. 5'11.5-5'11.75 for Stan. 5'11-5'11.25 for Boseman.
Rob, Sebastian is clearly taller, what's up with that? They should definitely be reversed.
You say; "they can look very similar range".?
Look at this photos please, Sebastian Stan-5ft 11.25in(181 cm) measured taller than chadwick Boseman.
What do you think Rob?
In this picture have Sebastian Stan 5ft 11.25in (181 cm) and Chadwick Boseman.
But Chadwick seems measured less than Sebastian Stan, so he is 5ft 11.75in (1.82cm) .
Editor Rob: from looking at the photos available they can look very similar range, above 5ft 11 flat, under 6ft.
In this image there Laurence Fishburne 0in- 6ft (183 cm) and Chadwick Boseman.
Chadwick seems less measured Laurence Fishburne.
Editor Rob: I think with chad's hair it is definitely a fraction thicker, so naturally you could see him being a little smaller than fishburne there.
I mean, sure, they are very close, but it's still obvious that Evans is ever-so-slightly taller.
Rob the look practically identical height wise. What do you think?
Editor Rob: yes they look very close, typically I'd expect not much difference when measured.
Here new and best pictures of Chadwick Boseman and Chris Evans of the 88th Annual Academy Awards.
Editor Rob: as I said before they can look within a similar range, I think it is quite possible if measured Evans would nudge him out though.
Well Di Caprio looks slightly taller on that photo with Boseman. Agree, Rob?
1)Chadwick Bosemen is the same size or smaller than Leonardo DiCaprio 5ft 11.75in (182 cm).
There was also Chris Evans 6ft 0in (183 cm), which appears on the pictures to be a little taller than Chadwick Boseman.
Sure, he's at an angle disadvantage, but even with that he should probably look taller. That's not nearly enough evidence, however, to downgrade him.
In this picture have chris evan 6ft 0in (183 cm) and Chadwick Boseman.
But Chadwick seems measured less than chris evans.
Editor Rob: it's a tough photo to tell because of how close Evans is...I've not seen enough of them together to say if Chris is the taller out of them.
What would you say his weight and head size is Rob? I'm guessing 170 and 9.4-9.6 inch range?
He looks taller in the picture next to Harrison Ford than he does in the film. He did an EXCELLENT job portraying James Brown, ESPECIALLY the dance moves. Whew!!!


The 950 will cost $549 (£360), and the 950 XL is priced at $649 (£425), with both becoming available in November in the US. No pricing was detailed for Australia but both phones will be on sale "before Christmas". A lower-tier phone, the Lumia 550, sports a quad-core processor and will be available in December in the US for $139 (£90). (UK prices and availability weren't announced, so the prices above are conversions.). The stakes are particularly high for Microsoft in mobile. The Redmond, Washington-based company has convinced just 3 percent of smartphone owners to adopt devices running its Windows Phone operating software. That figure is dwarfed by the 83 percent market share that Google's Android software commands, according to IDC.
With so few users, Windows Phone is little more than a vanity project, though it's still important, Smartphones have become a key to the tech industry, sparking a renaissance that turned Apple into the world's most highly valued company and Google's software into one of the most widely used in the mobile world, Microsoft is hoping to bring in new phone customers olixar iphone 8 / 7 plus case with fidget spinner - black / white with a handful of features, including Windows Hello and Continuum, both important aspects of Microsoft's new Windows 10 operating system, With Windows Hello, the new Lumia phones can be unlocked using a person's fingerprint or face scan, Continuum, which like Apple's Handoff feature helps link the mobile and desktop worlds, will configure Windows 10 depending on what device a person is using, For instance, Continuum will able to know when you're using Windows 10 with a mouse and keyboard attachment and when you've switched to a touch interface with finger- and pen-based inputs..
Also, the Lumia devices include "glance screen" technology that show a quick view of notifications, emails, texts, time and date when a person pulls the phone out of his or her pocket. Microsoft made its name producing Windows software that powers desktop and laptop PCs. But that industry is struggling, with shipments of PCs mostly flat in 2014, according to research firm Gartner. Smartphone shipments, on the other hand, rose 28 percent in the same period and sales of those devices now outnumber PCs roughly four to one.
Microsoft's new Lumia 950 XL has a 5.7-inch screen, liquid cooling, a 20-megapixel camera, You can connect it to a screen, keyboard and mouse to use it as a computer, Like it's little brother, the Lumia 950, the 950 XL can turn into a Windows 10 computer using a feature called Continuum, Connect it to a monitor, keyboard and mouse and it will act as both a computer, with full Windows 10 apps, and a smartphone, The Microsoft Display Dock olixar iphone 8 / 7 plus case with fidget spinner - black / white lets you connect the phone to accessories including the mouse and keyboard..
With Continuum, you can run full Windows 10 applications off the Lumia 950 XL. Here you can see the XL running Word. Like the Lumia 950, shown here, the Lumia 950 XL has a front-facing camera that can scan your iris to unlock the phone. On the back, there's a big camera like we've seen on many Lumias before. There's a dedicated camera button, optical image stabilization and a triple-LED flash. The Lumia 950 XL (right) is big, with a 5.7-inch screen with a whopping 564 pixels per inch. The phone runs Windows 10 Mobile.

OTW #489: Kilo Kish
Floaty, personable talk-rapping that doesn't take itself too seriously
Joe Zadeh
Joe Zadeh /
For a rising hip-hop star, Kilo Kish cuts an unassuming profile. Born Lakisha Robinson, the Brooklyn-based artist introduced us to her laid-back style last year with her debut EP 'HomeSchool'. Produced by Odd Future offshoot The Internet, she established her conversational flow and cozy, relatable world. With tracks like 'Crosstown' and 'You're Right', Robinson sounds like your friend who's a little too shy to be the life of the party, but is tough enough to handle heartbreak. Her songs revolve around the everyday - guys who can't commit, small pleasures and anxieties - and she raps like she's writing in her diary, though she's actually taking notes on her phone.
In February, Robinson followed up 'HomeSchool' with a mixtape entitled 'K+'. She earned plenty of high profile pals to collaborate with her, including Star Slinger, SBTRKT, Childish Gambino, Nick Hook, A$AP Ferg and Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt. Though the New York Times, Spin and the FADER had already ensured Robinson wasn't short on buzz, 'K+' presents the songs that will propel her even further. The beats are punchier and she sounds more sure of herself, though she's no less confessional. 'Better''s tale of rejection hits close to home, while 'Goldmine' perfectly sums up what it's like when having a crush is still fun.
Robinson's New York ambitions weren't always in music. The Orlando, Florida, native originally moved north for school, first at the Pratt Institute and then the Fashion Institute of Technology. Along the way, she began recording raps for fun, became Kilo Kish, and found herself the toast of the scene. Her background in visual art remains apparent; she debuted 'K+' as an installation featuring her notes and messages from the recording process.
At just twenty-two, Robinson still has plenty to explore. With a sharp mind and multi-faceted vision, she's sure to keep making compelling work. Just don't be surprised if her next big project is a painting instead of a mixtape.
Words: Katie Chow

What: Floaty, personable talk-rapping that doesn't take itself too seriously

This event has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Sponsors: The Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, The Institute for South Asia Studies, The South Asia Art Initiative.
"In the context of traditional Indian art it is often said that tracking an artist is akin to keeping an eye on a platter of votive leaves you have released on the waters of a swift current. Yet the effort is worth making," said B. N. Goswamy, one of India's leading art historians. In this illustrated lecture, Goswamy discusses the work of the great eighteenth-century Indian painter Nainsukh and describes the long and complex paths he took to find his way to the artist.
Professor emeritus of art history at the Panjab University, Chandigarh, Goswamy has had a major impact on the field of Indian painting. The recipient of many honors, such as the Tagore National Fellowship for Cultural Research, he has taught worldwide, including at the Universities of Heidelberg, Zurich, Pennsylvania, Texas (at Austin), and California (at Berkeley.) The two-volume study which he coedited, Masters of Indian Painting: 1100-1900, introduced eponymous major exhibitions at the Rietberg Museum, Zurich and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. He is the author of more than twenty-five books, including the classic studies Nainsukh of Guler and The Spirit of Indian Painting. His most recent work is on the painter Manaku of Guler.

11:00 am | 04/23/2019 | 308A Doe Library, UC Berkeley
Indian Ocean Art Histories: Goa; Bombay; Kochi
The 2019 Judith Stronach Travel Seminar focused on the Indian Ocean, the third largest water body and the world's oldest cultural continuum that has facilitated the mobility of people, objects, and ideas over millennia. Students in the seminar mapped the ways in which such oceanic networks also shaped the global history of art from the early modern period to the contemporary by focusing on three key moments in this longue durée history: Goa in the early modern period, Bombay (now Mumbai) under British rule, and the contemporary in Kochi via the 2018 Kochi-Muziris Biennale. In this day-long public symposium, participants of the seminar will present their research papers. The Travel Seminar was made possible due to a generous gift to the Department of History of Art from the Estate of Judith Lee Stronach.

Objects of Special Note(s): Constructions of Containment, Writers and Readers by Late Roman Ivory Writing Tablets
4:00 pm | 04/09/2019 | 3335 Dwinelle Hall
Ann Kuttner, University of Pennsylvania
A striking new genre of Late Roman precious things was the enormous, carefully decorated, ivory writing tablet, with subjects Christian, polytheist, political, mythological, and more. This was a hyper-luxurious version of a vitally useful object for writing of all kinds. Discussion of the some 200 Late Antique ivory diptychs' typically seeks historic aristocrats in those tablets inscribed for magistrates' appointments, thus engendering dates to which to pin narratives of Late Roman style (and politics). Some diptychs draw detailed stylistic or iconographic discussion. But very, very few scholars meditate the decorations of these things, often items of gift economy -- visual epistles -- in regard to their character as artifacts: objects to open and close, whose interiors greatly mattered as notional containers of a written voice scripted by or for those giving or owning them. In that context it matters that exteriors display inscribed objects and calligraphic pattern; scroll, codex, or diptych are encountered by authors, readers, auditors, Muses; protagonists enunciate, doors open, bureaucrats scribble in diptychs, ritual boxes gape... How do object and image, thing and script, mutually animate one another? This presentation probes the interplay of visual language, object identity, and the "material text" to better understand a major genre of Late Antique artifice.
Ethics of Care: Reflections on Blackness, Art, and the Institution
1:30 pm | 04/06/2019 | BAMPFA Osher Theater
Bridget R. Cooks, Erica Deeman, Mildred Howard, and Naima Keith
Anticipating the exhibition About Things Loved: Blackness and Belonging, this program aims for critical engagement around questions of belonging, curatorial possibilities, and the role of institutions. Coming together to discuss these issues are Bridget R. Cooks, Erica Deeman, Mildred Howard, and Naima Keith.
Bridget R. Cooks will contribute insights from her influential publication Exhibiting Blackness: African Americans and the American Art Museum, focusing on Peter Bradley's Isom Dart I, which is featured in the exhibition. Cooks's scholarship addresses representations of African Americans in visual culture, the history of African American artists, and museum criticism. She is an associate professor in the Departments of Art History and African American Studies at UC Irvine.
Artist Erica Deeman will discuss her photography featured in the exhibition. Deeman's work visualizes themes of identity, gender, and race and explores the tradition of portraiture. With the portrait, she engages her audience to question how viewers evaluate the face through their own visual expectations and historical portrayals.
Mildred Howard, an installation and mixed-media artist and educator, will talk about her work, also featured in the exhibition. Howard is known for her large-scale installations invoking both collective history and personal narrative.
Naima Keith, deputy director of exhibitions and programs at the California African American Museum, will discuss how art can forge dialogues around history and consider possibilities for curating in the contemporary moment. Keith's curatorial focus is art of the African diaspora; she was formerly associate curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem.
This event is included with BAMPFA admission, for more information see the museum's event listing.
Stoddard Seminar Spring 2019-- "Designing Identity"
12:00 pm | 03/20/2019 | 308A Doe Library, UC Berkeley
Thelma K. Thomas, Associate Professor of Fine Art, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
The seminar is based on Professor Thelma Thomas' essays and work for the exhibition Designing Identity: The Power of Textiles in Late Antique Egypt (2016).
Ideals of character and beauty, and conceptions of self and society, were in flux during Late Antiquity, a period of extensive dramatic cultural upheaval for the Roman world, as the extraordinary growth of Christianity eclipsed paganism. Textiles from Late Antiquity document transformations of cultural traditions and societal values at the most intimate level of the individual body and the home. These textile artifacts are fragile, preserved only in arid conditions, often in fragments, and only rarely intact.
The textiles selected for the exhibition Designing Identity at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World present an aesthetic of vibrant colors, fine materials, technical virtuosity of professional production, and variations on designs that display personal identity in the clothing of men, women, and children, as well as hopes for prosperity and protection in the textile furnishings of households. Prized for their artistry since the earliest discoveries beginning at the turn of the nineteenth century, such textiles were eagerly collected by designers, artists, scholars, museums, and captains of industry. This exhibition catalogue explores the parallel histories of ancient textile production and consumption, and the modern business of collecting Late Antique textiles.
Attendance is open to UC Berkeley History of Art Department students, faculty, staff, and invited guests.
Stoddard Lecture Spring 2019-- Monastic Lessons in Cloth from Late Antique Egypt: Worn, Embodied, and Remembered
5:00 pm | 03/19/2019 | Sutardja Dai Hall, UC Berkeley
Explorations of late antique painted portraits of the Egyptian desert fathers yield lessons about leading a righteous life. This presentation considers how visual messages and teaching texts about clothing directed attention to lessons embedded in the actual garments in which monastic fathers vested their spiritual children. In this way, the monastic habit could cue memories ranging from instruction about daily behavior to contemplation of the salvific virtues of monastic life that would form the monk's future resurrection body.
Computational Photography Techniques for Object-Based Research
Carla Schroer, Co-founder and Director of Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI), San Francisco
In this workshop, Carla Schroer will introduce the basics of two methods of computational photography—RTI and photogrammetry--and the extraordinary possibilities they offer for the study of artworks and historical artifacts. Schroer will demonstrate how light alone can be harnessed to reveal surface information unavailable through direct observation. Her talk will also will showcase the applicability of photogrammetry (3-D modeling) for the research, conservation, and documentation of artworks. The presentation includes an overview of the needed equipment, software, basic image collection techniques, and data preservation through Digital Notebook. Schroer is a pioneer and leader in the field of computational photography. She has worked on numerous cultural preservation projects (a Diego Rivera mural, Greek stelai, medieval manuscripts) and taught such workshops around the world. Her talk is not to be missed.
The workshop has received funding from the Stoddard Lecture Series Fund and the History of Art Department at UC Berkeley.

The Architecture of Hyperbole: Problematics of Scale and Style in Early Chinese Buddhist Architecture
Jun Hu, Assistant Professor, Northwestern University
The physical dimensions of Buddhas, like the Dharma, are often understood to be unfathomable. Even when they are described in scriptures, they appear in such hyperbolic terms that put them beyond human measure. The creation of cultic images and architectural spaces to enclose them therefore becomes a challenge and an opportunity to articulate the scaled relationship between the Buddha and the devotee. This lecture will look at how this is achieved at two levels: the creation of cave complexes and the construction of standalone timber structures and will conclude with some thoughts on the implications of this encounter with Buddhism for the development of Chinese architecture.

Refuge in the Empire: Art of Buddhist Kingship in Qing Dynasty China
Wen-Shing Chou, Assistant Professor, Hunter College
In 1757, the Qing Qianlong emperor of China sent a portrait of himself to Tibet with the express instructions that the image serve as his surrogate for making pilgrimages and receiving veneration. The portrait, which subsequently became a locus of devotion in the Potala Palace in Lhasa, features the emperor in the guise of an ordained Buddhist monk, king, and deity at the center of a vast spiritual pantheon above a paradisiacal landscape. At least a dozen similar works were produced at imperial workshops in Beijing throughout the latter half of the eighteenth century. This talk examines how these ideological images harnessed the efficacy of vision, materiality, lineage, and liturgy within an Indo-Tibetan devotional framework to effect and affirm a Qing-centered Buddhist orthodoxy.

Statement regarding investigation linked to mortuary photo of Emiliano Sala
Following media reports over the weekend, please find below a statement from Wiltshire Police regarding the mortuary photo of Emiliano Sala. Please note, as this is a live investigation being led by Wiltshire Police, no further comment will be made.
On February 7 2019, a post mortem examination of Emiliano Sala was conducted at Holly Tree Lodge Mortuary in Dorset. On February 13, Dorset Police became aware of an image on Twitter purporting to show the post mortem of Emiliano, and an investigation was launched.
The image had been swiftly removed by Twitter, but unfortunately it had been circulated extensively on various social media sites by this time.
As part of the enquiries by Dorset Police, a warrant was obtained for an address in Wiltshire and, on February 18, this warrant was executed by officers from the Digital Investigations & Intelligence Unit within Wiltshire Police.
A 48-year-old woman from Corsham was arrested at the scene on suspicion of unauthorised access to computer material (an offence under the Computer Misuse Act) and malicious communications, and is currently released on conditional bail. As the police investigation continued, a 62-year-old man from Calne was also arrested on suspicion of unauthorised access to computer material, and is currently released under investigation.
Wiltshire Police have been liaising with Dorset Police, the HM Coroner for Dorset, Bournemouth Council (now BCP Council) and the Holly Tree Lodge Mortuary as enquiries progressed. Emiliano's family have also been kept informed throughout this investigation.
There is no evidence to suggest a break-in at the mortuary, and no evidence to suggest that any staff from the mortuary, or indeed any other council employees, are involved in any wrongdoing.
Head of bereavement services at BCP Council Linda Barker said "We have been working with Wiltshire and Dorset Police to ascertain how images from Holly Tree Lodge Mortuary were obtained.
"Maintaining the private and respectful environment of the mortuary remains an absolute priority.
"Given that there is an ongoing police investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further".
Detective Inspector Gemma Vinton, senior investigating officer for Wiltshire Police, said: "During the course of this ongoing investigation we have been liaising with the Crown Prosecution Service Wessex. A file of evidence was sent to CPS last week to consider whether criminal charges should be brought again the two individuals under investigation by Wiltshire Police.
"My thoughts remain with Emiliano's family for the pain they have endured throughout the last three months, and who should not have to go through the additional anguish of knowing such distressing images have circulated on the internet.
"I would also urge people to stop sharing the image - this is causing further distress to Emiliano's family and friends.
"As this is an ongoing criminal investigation, I would ask the media to refrain from speculation, to avoid both the additional distress it places upon the Sala family and the potential it has to hinder the investigation.
"It is important to allow the Crown Prosecution Service time to review the evidence in relation to the two suspects, and enable any potential subsequent judicial proceedings to take place in a fair manner".

Andre To, senior, returns from a brief break from the Amplifier. He was a photographer for the Amplifier last year, but didn't make plans to rejoin the class his senior year. To realized he couldn't resist the allure of photojournalism and decided to return to the Amplifier.
"I was looking at the online website for the Amplifier and felt that I could help improve the photo and graphic quality of the site," To said, "Although I can't switch into the class because of class conflicts, I will be coming in first period to upload and edit photos regularly and may be switching into third period independent study journalism."
Having enjoyed taking photos since a young age, he bought his own camera when he was in seventh grade. To loves photographing sporting events since he likes trying to capture the action in a moment, and subsequently it is his most photographed subject coming in at over 2,000 photos for the online Amplifier.
To is the first in his family to like photography even though he has two older brothers, Arthur and Anthony, graduates. He wishes to follow in their footsteps and attend Oregon State Honors college next year.
"I want to continue taking photos into college and plan to be a photographer for the OSU student newspaper," To said, "I hope to become the lead photo editor before I graduate."

CHOICES: Capital Campaign
Melinda Lejman
story by Melinda Lejman
Many women of color are not afforded protections in the U.S. healthcare system. CHOICES Memphis Center for Reproductive Health intends to create seamless access to high quality healthcare for expectant mothers when it opens a new birthing center. CHOICES' focus is on exceptional patient care and education for the entire community.
Imagine telling your doctor you want an abortion. Now imagine the response from your doctor being, "Do you think that God would forgive you?" This is just one of the many stories Holly Calvasina, Director of Development and Marketing at CHOICES, shared when we sat down to talk about their capital campaign to fund a new, comprehensive wellness center. "At CHOICES, we value choice above all else," says Calvasina.
Courage Now, the campaign for CHOICES' new facility, isn't simply a campaign for brick and mortar – it's an opportunity to integrate exceptional patient care and education. The new 16,000 square foot facility will serve the community with a focus on providing continuity of care, healthy families and educated choices. Located on Poplar Avenue near Belvedere, the space will also serve as Memphis' first birthing center.

CHOICES decision to begin the process of integrating reproductive care and reproductive health under one roof stems in part due to the reproductive justice movement. While most are familiar with the terms reproductive health, which pertains to providing services, and reproductive rights, which advocates for things like abortion access and birth control, reproductive justice is a larger, broader movement, mostly led by women of color, according to Calvasina.
"The idea is that it's bigger than just abortion access or birth control access…[it's] whether or not you have a safe community in which to raise your children, whether or not you have choices in how you give birth and whether or not the system in which you give birth is designed to protect you, which it's not for a lot of women of color," says Calvasina. "Can you really say someone has a choice if they don't have access to high quality care?"
According to research by March of Dimes, whose mission is to fight preterm birth, there are major disparities in preterm birth based on race and zip code. Statistics on their website reveal that in Tennessee, the preterm birth rate for African American babies born between 2013-2015 was 14.3 percent compared to 10.2 percent for Caucasians. The site also states that in Tennessee, the preterm birth rate among black women is 43 percent higher than the rate among all other women.
CHOICES has been working with March of Dimes to integrate their centering pregnancy mode within their midwifery services, which is very effective at reducing preterm birth rates, according to Calvasina. "We're focusing on providing data based midwifery care that will improve outcomes," she says. "We hope that not only will it improve outcome for people that come to us for care, but that it will be a catalyst for other providers in Memphis to start offering, if not midwifery care, then centering pregnancy care or other outcome, data driven models to decrease this problem."
They've already been contacted by an abortion care provider in Toledo who will be coming to shadow them later this year and learn from their full spectrum model. "We don't want a monopoly in the birth industry," says Calvasina. "We want to be a place that helps change birth care in Memphis." An important part of CHOICES plans for the new facility includes a Center for Excellence in Midwifery, which will not only provide midwife led care in the birth center, but also training and practicum for new midwives. "There's a big disparity between who can become a midwife and who can't,' says Calvasina.
"We don't want a monopoly in the birth industry," says Holly Calvasina, CHOICES' Director of Development and Marketing. "We want to be a place that helps change birth care in Memphis." Photo: Greg Campbell.
Currently, those needing practicum hours have to go to Vanderbilt University in Nashville. "There's a certain level of privilege involved in just being able to say, 'I'm going to be regularly commuting to Nashville to get my hours,'" she says. "We're hoping that by offering this Center for Excellence in Midwifery that more people, especially for women of color, can be trained locally and start doing birth work in their communities."
According to Calvasina, abortion numbers are down nationally due in large part to widespread availability of low cost, highly effective, long lasting birth control. However, as those numbers go down, clinics are becoming less and less financially sustainable. "It's important as providers that we start expanding our services, especially in the South," she says, speaking to the need for trans and LGBTQ affirming care. "It's important that we be this voice, and continue to think about how we serve our communities, and who else is not getting access to care that they need."
Thanks to an anonymous donor, CHOICES received a matching grant to fund construction of the $4.2 million-dollar facility. Calvasina also credits many individual donors who have already made gifts towards the campaign. The official launch of Courage Now will take place at CHOICES annual fundraising event, Condomonium, on March 31. The goal is to complete the campaign in 2018 and move into the new space in 2019. You can make your gift or get more information about the campaign at memphischoices.org.

The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus is working steadfastly to ensure it is truly a campus for all, particularly those living with disabilities.
This was emphasised during the presentation to Campus Council delivered by the Principal and Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Eudine Barriteau. The meeting was held on Friday, March 8, 2019 in the Main Conference room.
"We have adopted and implemented The UWI's policies on accommodations for students with disabilities; established a referral and record management system on students with disabilities and assigned a dedicated Disabilities Coordinator in the Office of Student Services, whose responsibilities include: ensuring transportation for wheelchair users, acquisition of assistive software such as JAWS and Dragon Speech, ordering specialized furniture and ensuring extended examinations periods," she said.
Barriteau also noted that disability awareness and sensitization initiatives for students, faculty and staff were also a feature on the campus.
Additionally, the Principal highlighted the fact that other units and departments on campus were taking leadership roles in advancing an inclusive teaching and learning environment.
"In the past year, the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) supported the Smart Campus Initiative to foster the digital transformation of The UWI, by introducing a webpage and resources for students and faculty members experiencing challenges with a disability as they learn or teach," she added.
Furthermore, she praised the work of the Faculty of Science and Technology, particularly its Science for ALL initiative.
Dean of the Faculty, Dr Colin Depradine, elaborated on the project during his presentation at the council.
"Our Science for ALL initiative, which focuses on the removal of societal barriers that dissuade students with disabilities from enrolling in the Faculty, continues to grow with the graduation of Miranda Blackman, the first student who uses a wheelchair to graduate from the Faculty. Her presence and the initiative have resulted in a sharp increase this academic year, in the number of students with physical disabilities – which was about five times more that last academic year, and a continuing increase in the numbers with learning disabilities," he said.

Lisa Ann Nudes
August 14, 2022 by selectografix.com
Lisa Ann Pornstar
Lisa Ann is an American pornstar. She is a well-known pornstar in the United States, particularly in English-speaking countries. She was born May 9, 1972. Her body is an hourglass shape. She also loves sports and likes to have sex with athletes. However, before she became a porn star, she had a very different career.
Lisa Ann Pornstar is an American pornstar
Lisa Ann is a famous pornstar, who has received many accolades for her career. She has been named one of the world's top porn actresses. She achieved mainstream fame after parodying US politician Sarah Palin in the video "Sarah Palin's Political Career." Among her other achievements, she has been inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame, XRCO Hall of Fame, and Urban X Hall of Fame. She hosts a talk show on Sirius satellite radio called "Strippertown".
Aside from starring in hardcore porn films, Lisa Ann also has a long list of interracial projects. Some of these releases include "When Lisa Met Kortney" (2011) and "Summer Love" (2013). Her solo sex scenes include "The Hundreds Girl", and "Tasty" (2014). She has released "Lisa Ann Chronicles" (for Brazzers) and "Evil Angels" for Naughty America.
Lisa Ann is a porn industry veteran who has been an inspiration to younger performers. She worked as a talent agent for LA Direct Models, and she noticed that there wasn't enough representation for older performers. She started her own talent management business in 2006 to remedy the situation. Later, it was renamed Lisa Ann's Talent Management and merged with Adam Glasser's Lighthouse Agency.
In high school, she was a stripper
Lisa Ann Pornstar was a high school stripper and started acting in pornographic films when she was only 16. She was still a teenager at the time. However, she started erotic dancing to pay for college. She became a full-time actress in 1994. However, her career ended in 1997 due to the AIDS scare. After that, she spent several years as a feature dancer at strip clubs. In 2006, she decided to set up her own talent agency, which was later renamed to Lisa Ann's Talent Management. It merged with Lighthouse Agency in 2007, which is managed by Adam Glasser. She was able to represent a greater number of young porn stars through this merger.
She started her career as a stripper in high school, and then moved to California. Her career was accelerated by her role in a parody of Sarah Palin, Vice Presidential candidate. She is considered to be one of the greatest porn actors ever. She is also a prolific producer of comedy DVDs and porn parodies.
She is a sports enthusiast
Despite leaving the adult film industry more than five years ago, Lisa Ann is still the most searched pornstar on Pornhub. She's not just a pornstar, she's also a sports fanatic. The Life is her memoir that details her journey from pornstar into a sports enthusiast.
She once revealed that she enjoys watching basketball, and loves to watch NBA games on TV. She often creates a list of potential athletes she would like to share a bed with when the NBA draft approaches. While it might seem a bit odd to be interested in athletes, Lisa Ann explains that she is only interested in the best athletes.
While she initially got her start on the pornographic industry, she's now working on her dream career: sports radio. She's also a dedicated sports fan and enjoys attending 50 or so games each year.
She prefers athletes to have sex with
Lisa Ann, a former porn star, has admitted that she prefers to have sexual relations with athletes. Rumours have it that the former porn star is rumored be dating NBA players. However, she has not stated which ones. Lisa Ann is a huge fan of the sport and enjoys watching NBA games live on TV. Although she has admitted to liking athletes more than other people, safety is her top priority.
Athletes are often contacted by Lisa Ann, and it's believed that she has up to 100 athletes communicating with her at any given time. Despite the large number of requests, she only meets about a quarter of them. She says she's happy to meet with people.

WARSAW — Business was kept short at the July 11 meeting of the Solid Waste Management District Board. Going into new director Tom Ganser's second month, Ganser is slowly looking to improvements he sees for the KC Recycling Depot.
The largest change Ganser has made is a change in the Depot's contracted recycling company. Thanks to a business connection, Ganser was able to secure a contract with Advanced Technology Recycling. The new contract will take electronic recycling costs from roughly $4,000 a load to $700. This price will be guaranteed through the end of the year when the Depot's volume of outgoing electronics and recyclables will be reevaluated.
The change is an important one: after three months of free CRT TV recycling, the first time such a program has been attempted, the Depot has burned through 75 percent of its HHW budget. The cost comes from the number of truck-loads, which was averaging one truck-load per week. In all, over 170,000 pounds of electronics were collected from April through June.
"I'm expecting with this new contract we can stay within budget this year," stated Ganser.
Ganser then suggested that later in the year the board should reevaluate prices for CRT TV and electronic recycling. The board jumped into conversation and approved a low cost of $5 per CRT TV regardless of size. With the new vendor contract, Ganser expects $5 to be sufficient to keep HHW collection within budget. The board further approved the possibility of temporary labor to help handle the potential volume of TVs.
Contact the Depot, (574) 372-3087, or go online for more information.
The board approved a roof repair. After the torrential rains the area has experienced, a leak in the roof has been found. Cost of repair will be around $400.
Ganser wants to streamline the collection process and computerize the information.

First clear results back for Kopeopeo
Results are back from validation testing on the first dredged section of the Kopeopeo Canal and they are showing sediment quality is now below the remediation target.
Project Manager Brendon Love said that dredging is continuing and it was reassuring to get the results back from the first section.
"Those first validation results are important because it means that the methodology is working well and we can be more confident as the dredge moves forward," Mr Love said.
The Project is using a cutter suction dredge to remove contaminated sediments from the Canal and transport them through a pipeline to lined containment sites. From there, the sediment in the geotextile bags is dewatered and remains in the geobags within lined cells to be bioremediated at a later stage.
"There have been some other key milestones as well – The Contractor successfully crane-lifted the dredge over the first private Canal crossing. The Contractor also used a smaller 'sand bug' to suction dredge to remove sediment from around and under that bridge where the large dredge doesn't fit. It was good to fine-tune that process as there are a number of crossings throughout the 5km length," Mr Love said.
While the barge and cutter suction dredge move forward, significant progress is being made on other aspects of the Project.
Work is progressing well on the second containment site near Keepa Road at the other end of the Project area. The road area has been reformed, vegetation removed, fencing started and rock armouring of the site carried out. Public access options are still being assessed but the Project Manager said the team hoped to have a new public walking track in place shortly after the site boundary fencing is completed.
"It was also good to see our flood management planning mostly working well through the recent high rainfall event. We have a few things to fine-tune but overall the water was pumped west as planned," Mr Love said.
Dredging will continue along the Canal during the coming months and validation testing will be carried out behind each dredged section. At the end of the Project, sediment will have been removed from 5.1km the Canal, leaving the waterway in a healthier state for future generations.
The sediment quality target is below 60pg/g I-TEQ (i.e. 60 parts per trillion). More detail on what this target means and how it compares with national and international standards is available on the website.
Detailed information on the Kopeopeo Canal Remediation Project can be found at www.boprc.govt.nz/kopeopeo
The Bay of Plenty Regional Council (Rivers and Drainage Group) is working with the community to clean up dioxin-contaminated sediment in the Kopeopeo Canal. The canal was contaminated between the 1950s and late 1980s as a result of stormwater discharges from a former sawmill, which treated timber using Pentachlorophenol (PCP). While unknown at the time, PCP imported into New Zealand for use in the timber processing industry also included a percentage of impurities that contained dioxins.
The project is taking a staged approach to remove, safely store and treat up to 40,000m3 of sediment.
Consent was granted for works to begin in 2014, subject to significant conditions. The community raised a number of concerns about the original methodology (excavators and trucks) for removal of the sediment. Following a successful pilot study of a new method in October 2015, an application was lodged in May 2016 to vary the existing consent so that the sediment could be removed by a cutter suction dredge and transferred by pipeline to the containment sites. This new method virtually eliminates the heavy traffic and potential for spillages and associated dust generation, and brings improvements to the containment site design which reduces potential groundwater and flooding related effects.
The variation to the consent was approved in September 2016 and a contract awarded to Envirowaste Services Ltd in December 2016 to undertake the remediation works
The project is jointly funded between Regional Council and the Ministry for the Environment's Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund

Mountain Biking the Big Hole Crest Trail has been a goal of mine since I first heard that it was possible. The route is a 18-20 mile mountain bike ride on single track, contains over 6,000' of elevation change, mostly above 8,000' in elevation, and its not a frequently travelled mountain bike route. I set off to do this with a buddy from work, John "the python" Slaughter, and Chloe "the dog".
There are more hike-a-bike sections than I had anticipated and some of the climbs are just brutally sustained.
About halfway through the ride we got off the correct trail and ascended Red Mountain... Then Descended the wrong ridge down some of the most difficult riding I've ever encountered. On top of all this we were already out of water and the mid afternoon sun felt hotter than ever. It was slightly desperate.
We had to hike our bikes back up the loose, steep, terrible trail we had gone down... About a 2,000++ vertical foot error! It was painful and we still had 8 miles of riding ahead. I don't think I have ever ridden a bicycle so tired and dehydrated in my life.
Once we found the trail again we had a steep downhill-hike-a-bike to Government Pass. Then a beautifully long downhill until another hike-a-bike up Squirrel Mountain. This is my last photo from the day. We were all tired after this ride but we made it!! Certainly a ride that tested me in many ways!


Actor-producer Salman Khan is undoubtedly a superstar who never hesitates from launching new faces in Bollywood. And, this time he is launching Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl with his home-production Notebook. Ahead of the release of the film, Salman shares what he seeks in newcomers and speaks at length about his father Salim Khan, whom he considers his biggest teacher. He also shares his plans about the digital space.
What qualities do you notice in newcomers before launching them?
When somebody takes a double look at another person, know that there is something in that person. My father once asked me, 'When you go to a place, does anyone notice you?' I said, 'No'. So, he said, 'Don't get yourself noticed. They should know who you are without you making any effort. And, if anyone asks then you should just say 'Salim saab ka beta hoon'. It took me more than three-four years to reach there.
So, I see all these things which as a child, I didn't have but others had. So, when they (newcomers) walk in and make me notice, it is good quality.
What advice do you have for actors who are getting launched?
You seem to have a good script sense. Is there any formula?
Touchwood! As soon as you think you know the formula, it all comes down crumbling. So, you can never be sure about anything.
Are you consciously changing your image and trying to explore different things?
I think I am doing everything but it is all love stories. Till the time you don't have a love story in a film, it will never work. You need to have a love story. I personally believe that you can have any story but a love story in it is a must.
Would you also like to get into direction?
I wanted to start my career with direction but that didn't happen… thank God!
Do you seek your father's advice for all your films?
The plot of every script that we do is taken to my dad and he gives his advice. He would say – keep this, remove that, do this, do that… So, he points out everything. My father is my teacher in the film industry. I got scripting sense from my father. You should be morally, ethically and principally correct. Once you get these three things correct, you will be fine.
Have you asked your father to write something again?
I want dad to write but he doesn't want to write. Only if someone convinces him to write.
Would you like to venture into the digital space?
Yes, I have been approached but I have not said yes. I have been approached to produce and my content is going to be Hum Aapke Hai Kaun-type content. I will make a clean web series. I don't like the rubbish that is being shown.
After several successful films, why do you think Tubelight failed to connect?
The release date of Tubelight was wrong. It should have come on a regular Friday and not on a festival. People loved the film on satellite and TV. So, it is the date that went wrong.
Tubelight, which released during Eid, wasn't an Eid release type of film but others didn't agree. They said that have that date and how can they miss it. I did tell them to try another date but they wanted it to release on Eid. At that point, I should have put my foot down because on a festival, people go for enjoyment. It is a celebratory occasion. Here, they went to theatres to celebrate but came out crying. So, this film shouldn't have come on Eid.
Lastly, what were your inputs as a producer in Notebook?
I don't take unnecessary credit. Credit lena bhaari pad jaata hai (Sometimes the onus becomes bigger when you take credit). When this film came to me, I knew it was a good film but by then, I had a kind of an image change. So, I couldn't do it and I felt a new couple would do justice to it. And, don't think that because Pranutan is Mohnish Bahl's daughter and Zaheer is my friend Iqbal's son that they have been cast. We did many auditions, they had to work hard for eight hours.


Every 4½ minutes, a baby is born with a birth defect in the United States. Not all birth defects can be prevented, but women can increase their chances of having a healthy baby by preventing infections before and during pregnancy.
o	Talk to your healthcare provider.
o	Protect yourself from animals and insects known to carry diseases such as Zika virus.
By following these Prevent to Protect guidelines, women can reduce the risk of having a child with a birth defect and also reduce their risk of pregnancy complications such as early pregnancy loss, prematurity and stillbirths.
About 120,000 babies are affected by birth defects each year in the United States, with approximately 800 cases occurring here in Michigan in recent years. Not only can birth defects lead to lifelong challenges and disabilities, they are also the most common cause of death in the first year of life and the second most common cause of death in children aged one to four. Public awareness, expert medical care, accurate and early diagnosis, and social support systems are all needed for prevention and treatment of these all-too-common and sometimes deadly conditions.
Infections are a major cause of birth defects. Research has proven that up-to-date vaccinations, safe sexual practices, good hygiene, and knowing how to protect yourself from insect, animal and food-borne sources of infection can reduce the risk of having a child with a birth defect.
The complete 2017 NBDPN Birth Defects Prevention Month information packet, including this year's primary message of prevention, Prevent to Protect: Prevent Infections for Baby's Protection, and other resources for the public, and for professionals, is available online at: www.nbdpn.org/bdpm#2017.php.
Further information regarding NBDPN can be obtained at www.NBDPN.org.

New Haven Family Makes 'Sofrito' Their Business
CT Business MA Business RI Business Uncategorized
Diane Alverio on November 24, 2015
Bill Sarno
CTLatinoNews.com
When it comes to traditional Spanish-style cuisine, whether it be soup, beans, chicken, shrimp or anything else bolstered by a zesty sauce, it is very likely that what gives these dishes their distinctive flavor and aroma is sofrito, a blend of herbs, spices and vegetables.
For many Puerto Rican, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American cooks in Connecticut and parts of Massachusetts, the prime source of
this kitchen staple is Sofrito Ponce, a family business based in New Haven. Their sofrito is based on the recipe that Luis Rodriguez Sr. used in mixing fresh batches of this versatile cooking base for sale at the grocery store that he started in a Hispanic neighborhood after he arrived from Puerto Rico in 1959.
Rafael Diaz, a city firefighter, recalls that as a child it was the Rodriguez store, which was named Ponce Market after the owner's hometown, where he and other youngsters went for candy and ice cream while their mothers and grandmothers stocked up on ethnic specialties like sofrito.
About 30 years ago, the Rodriguez family expanded their sofrito production beyond New Haven and introduced Sofrito Ponce, which is based on their family recipe.
Today, Sofrito Ponce is distributed throughout Connecticut to major supermarkets such as Stop & Shop and ShopRite and "ma and pa" stores and to some stores in Massachusetts, said Luis Lou" Rodriguez Jr., who took over management of the business after his father retired and who doubles as a high school soccer coach.
Sofrito Ponce is typically found in the produce section of supermarkets, sharing cooler space with a variety of salsas, and comes in one-pound containers that feature a depiction of the iconic Parque de Bombas, the historic firehouse, now a museum, that is as emblematic of Ponce as the El Morro fortification is for San Juan. The package also proclaims this food enhancer as the "El Conquistador de la Cocina," the conqueror of the kitchen.
Sofrito comes in a variety of forms, some frozen or in bottles, such as the nationally distributed Goya brand which is labeled recaito, which includes tomatoes. At El Mercado, the Latino food court and market in the heart of Hartford's Latino community, a variety of sofritos are sold. In addition to Sofrito Ponce, these Spanish cooking staples include Sofrito Puerto Rico, El Campesina Sofrito and Sofrito El Coqui, which is made in Puerto Rico and named for a small frog found on the island.
For many Hispanic cooks, making sofrito from scratch is still the way to go, but there is still a demand for pre-mixed version of this must-have ingredient for their ethnic cuisine. So much so, that those who have moved out of Connecticut to areas where a product such as Sofrito Ponce is not readily available will make sure that when they visit their former hometowns they drop into a neighborhood market for a fresh container or two of fresh sofrito before they head home.
What distinguishes Sofrito Ponce, said Lou Rodriguez, is the use of "high quality ingredients" and that it is a very consistent product. "We use fresh produce straight from local farms," he said. Moreover, he noted, Sofrito Ponce, "sells faster and is not on the shelf long."
It is a "great product," according to the produce manager in a Stop and Shop in central Connecticut, one of the many supermarkets that now stock Sofrito Ponce and other Hispanic food products.
On a weekly basis, the demand for this raw cooking base may vary, Rodriguez said, but the upcoming holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, are especially busy for the Sofrito plant, which is located at the edge of the Hill neighborhood in southwest New Haven.
The Rodriguez family includes recipes for stuffed peppers and arroz con pollo (rice and chicken) on their website, www.sofritoponce.com, that feature their Spanish cooking staple.
Going forward, the business is looking into other food items it might produce, but nothing is definite yet, said Lou Rodriguez.
Meanwhile, in addition to sofrito, soccer is a mainstay of the Rodriquez family. Luis Jr. played at Eastern Connecticut State College in the 1980s and now coaches the team at Sheehan High School in Wallingford. His son, Joel, played soccer at Sheehan, went on to to play at the University of New Haven and was a member of the Puerto Rican National Team.
Sofrito and soccer, for the Rodriquez family, like for that of many Latinos, are staples.

Hello, I just moved to Florida from Hartford, CT. I went to Bravo in Kissimmee to buy Sodriro Ponce and there was no Sofriro Ponce. I don't like the sofriros that are sold here in Florida. Nothing like Sofrito Ponce, are you considering expanding your business to Florida? I think it would make a difference here. I started doing my own sofriro since I don't like the ones that are here. Kuddos for your company.
Diane Alverio says:
Luis, We have received comments from many Latinos who grew up in CT with your sofrito and miss it. They hope you can distribute it more widely. Kissimmee, Florida above, Pembroke Pines, Fl and Orlando area. And on purely self-serving note, any chance it can be sold in the the Price Shopper store in Pittsfield, Mass or Price Rite in Pitssfiled. As you can see you have a devout following. Or…in this age of online shopping,can you do shipping? I'm sure you would have lots and lots of orders 🙂
George Amador says:
I've been buying SOFRITO "EL COQUI" from Shoprite in Glen Bernie, MD. 21061, and they haven't had it in stock lately and when I called customer service to ask why, they said it was a manufacture issue because the barcode # was still in their system. I live outside of Baltimore, is there any other store or place where I can find this product?

The `Cycle` helper is used to alternate a set of values.

## Basic Usage

To add elements to cycle just specify them in constructor:

```php
<table>
    <?php foreach ($this->books as $book): ?>
        <tr style="background-color: <?php echo $this->cycle(array('#F0F0F0', '#FFF'))
                                                     ->next() ?>">
            <td><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($book['author']) ?></td>
        </tr>
    <?php endforeach ?>
</table>
```

The output:

```php
<table>
    <tr style="background-color: #F0F0F0">
       <td>First</td>
    </tr>
    <tr style="background-color: #FFF">
       <td>Second</td>
    </tr>
</table>
```

Or use `assign(array $data)` method and moving in backwards order:

```php
<?php $this->cycle()->assign(array('#F0F0F0', '#FFF')) ?>

<table>
    <?php foreach ($this->books as $book): ?>
    <tr style="background-color: <?php echo $this->cycle()->prev() ?>">
       <td><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($book['author']) ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach ?>
</table>
```

The output:

```php
<table>
    <tr style="background-color: #FFF">
        <td>First</td>
    </tr>
    <tr style="background-color: #F0F0F0">
        <td>Second</td>
    </tr>
</table>
```

## Working with two or more cycles

To use two cycles you have to specify the names of cycles. Just set second parameter in cycle
method: `$this->cycle(array('#F0F0F0', '#FFF'), 'cycle2')`

```php
<table>
    <?php foreach ($this->books as $book): ?>
        <tr style="background-color: <?php echo $this->cycle(array('#F0F0F0', '#FFF'))
                                                     ->next() ?>">
            <td><?php echo $this->cycle(array(1, 2, 3), 'number')->next() ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($book['author']) ?></td>
        </tr>
    <?php endforeach ?>
</table>
```

You can also use `assign($data, $name)` and `setName($name)` methods:

```php
<?php
$this->cycle()->assign(array('#F0F0F0', '#FFF'), 'colors');
$this->cycle()->assign(array(1, 2, 3), 'numbers');
?>
<table>
    <?php foreach ($this->books as $book): ?>
        <tr style="background-color: <?php echo $this->cycle()->setName('colors')->next() ?>">
            <td><?php echo $this->cycle()->setName('numbers')->next() ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($book['author']) ?></td>
        </tr>
    <?php endforeach ?>
</table>
```
