Amazon's Cincinnati air hub speaks to company's broad supply chain ambitions
$1.5 billion facility designed to reduce delivery and fulfillment costs, ultimately expand market share.
By Mark B. Solomon and Ben Ames
E-tailing giant Amazon.com, Inc. has made little secret of its desire to more effectively manage its own supply chain and to take over the supply chains of its customers, and its announcement late Tuesday that it will break ground later this year on a $1.5 billion air hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport is a major step on that quest.
The facility, to be located in the Cincinnati suburb of Hebron, Ky., will contain 11 buildings, according to a research note by Colin Sebastian, an analyst for Robert W. Baird, an investment firm. It will be the focal point of Seattle-based Amazon's growing fleet of dedicated freighter aircraft—of which 16 of a planned fleet of 40 are operational—to support its "Prime Air" network for two-day deliveries. More importantly, especially for traditional transport and logistics firms that don't think Amazon competes with them, this new facility places another piece in the company's ambitious jigsaw puzzle of controlling a greater portion of its supply chain, and those of its third party merchants that use the "Fulfillment by Amazon" (FBA) service, over time.
Though it is not clear, the assumption is that the Cincinnati hub will replace Amazon's existing operations at the nearby Wilmington, Ohio, air park, which were not dedicated Amazon facilities. A local report said Amazon employees there would be offered jobs in other parts of its network. The new operation is expected to employ 2,000 full-time workers, Amazon said.
Amazon chose the site for its central location, skilled workforce, and proximity to its other nearby fulfillment centers, Dave Clark, Amazon senior vice president of worldwide operations, said in a statement. Besides the air cargo fleet, Amazon has a network of 4,000 trailers, a crowd-sourced courier service, called "AmazonFlex," for last-mile deliveries, and an ocean freight forwarder license for its Chinese operation which enables it to serve the U.S. According to published reports, Amazon has handled the movement of 150 containers in the past few months. All of this, and what may be still to come, are enabling Amazon to move beyond its roots as an online retailer, and to define itself as a "transportation service provider" carrying freight for both its direct retail customers and third-party wholesalers participating in the FBA program.
SUPPORTING BOTH GOALS
The Cincinnati airport is ideally located to support both of those goals, sitting in a fast growing cargo hub that is part way between an "Amazon Prime Air" facility in Wilmington and the Amazon subsidiary Zappos.com's fulfillment center in Shepherdsville, Ky., said Jim Tompkins, CEO of supply chain consultancy Tompkins International.
By combining that central location with a growing aircraft fleet, Amazon could be positioning itself to move from standard two-day delivery for its Prime customers to one-day delivery, Tompkins said. Such fast service could help Amazon counter a competitive move from rivals like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which said yesterday it would provide two-day shipping for free.
"The only hole in (Amazon's) bucket is when they have slow-moving items that can't be stored in all their fulfillment centers, so they're stored in just one or two distribution centers (DCs) instead of 40 to 50 sites," he said in an interview today. "The only way to do [next-day shipping] then is to have more air capacity and more airplanes. And that is exactly what they're doing."
Even for a company of Amazon's size, the only way to provide such fast fulfillment at a reasonable cost is to achieve enough volume to drive down the cost of order picking by automating its DCs and to cut the costs of home delivery by increasing delivery density, he said.
"That is part of the brilliance of Amazon: That they realize what drives efficiency in fast delivery and great customer service is to have high volumes. Scale is king," Tompkins said.
Amazon has 11 fulfillment centers in Kentucky alone, with at least 13 fulfillment centers within a 150-mile radius of the planned Cincinnati facility, providing plenty of package volume to generate significant per-unit savings, Sebastian of Baird said.
Transport savings have become one of Amazon's many Holy Grails. Its shipping costs have exceeded shipping revenue for several years, due to the explosive growth of its business and, the company believes, its lack of custodial control of its shipments. Tomorrow, Amazon releases its fourth quarter and year-end results, which will include shipping trends during the key holiday peak season.
The move to Cincinnati is a blow to Wilmington, which has spent the past eight years rebuilding its presence after package giant DHL Express ceased domestic U.S. service in 2009 and closed its national hub there. DHL today uses the same Cincinnati airport where Amazon will build its hub.
The air park has 1,300 acres, two runways, and 3 million square feet of office, industrial, and hangar space. In an email, Wilmington officials said they are optimistic about the air park's future. The work with Amazon "proved its ability to handle a major cargo project reliably and cost effectively," they said. City officials said they are in on-going discussions with other airlines. About 1,300 people are employed at 12 companies in the air park.
Satish Jindel, president of consultancy SJ Consulting, believes Amazon is taking a big gamble relocating from Wilmington to Cincinnati. In a letter to be sent tomorrow to Amazon Chairman and CEO Jeffrey P. Bezos, Jindel said Amazon would save about $1 billion by developing a hub in Wilmington, and that it would be up and running sooner. Jindel added that it would be easier and less expensive to hire and train workers in Wilmington than in Cincinnati. In a phone interview today, Jindel said Amazon would have an all-cargo facility at Wilmington at its disposal, whereas at Cincinnati it would share space with passenger airlines.
Though Jindel has doubts about the move, he doesn't have any doubts about Amazon's strategy. The fast-growing FBA service has been taking business from Memphis-based FedEx Corp. and UPS Inc., both of whom had these merchants as former customers, Jindel said. What's more, consumers and businesses that order on Amazon's website were once the customers of retailers that are FedEx and UPS shippers, he said.
"FedEx and UPS need to get their heads out of the sand and bring in outside people with a different vision" of dealing with a company like Amazon, Jindel said.

How good bacteria control your genes
· Good bacteria in the gut can produce a chemical signal that affects the human genome
· The changes in the genome may help to fight infections and prevent cancer
· The chemical signal is produced by bacteria from the digestion of fruits and vegetables
Scientists from the Babraham Institute near Cambridge in collaboration with colleagues from Brazil (here and here) and Italy have discovered a way that good bacteria in the gut can control genes in our cells. The work, published today (9th January) in Nature Communications, shows that chemical messages from bacteria can change the location of key chemical markers throughout the human genome. By communicating in this way, the bacteria may help to fight infections and to prevent cancer.
This work, led by Dr Patrick Varga-Weisz shows how chemicals produced by bacteria in the gut from the digestion of fruit and vegetables can affect genes in the cells of the gut lining. These molecules, called short chain fatty acids, can move from the bacteria and into our own cells. Inside our cells, they can trigger processes that change gene activity and that ultimately affect how our cells behave.
This new research shows that the short chain fatty acids increase the number of chemical markers on our genes. These markers, called crotonylations, were only discovered recently and are a new addition to the chemical annotations in the genome that are collectively called epigenetic markers. The team showed that short chain fatty acids increase the number of crotonylations by shutting down a protein called HDAC2. Scientists think that changes in crotonylation can alter gene activity by turning genes on or off.
The team studied mice that had lost most of the bacteria in their gut and showed that their cells contained more of the HDAC2 protein than normal. Other research has shown that an increase in HDAC2 can be linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (here and here). This could mean that regulating crotonylation in the genome of gut cells is important for preventing cancer. It also highlights the important role of good bacteria and a healthy diet in this process.
This research was made possible by support from the bilateral BBSRC-Brazil fund established as part of an agreement between Research Councils UK (RCUK) and the State of Säo Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) to welcome, encourage and support collaborative research between the UK and Brazil.
First author, Rachel Fellows, said: "Short chain fatty acids are a key energy source for cells in the gut but we've also shown they affect crotonylation of the genome. Crotonylation is found in many cells but it's particularly common in the gut. Our study reveals why this is the case by identifying a new role for HDAC2. This, in turn, has been implicated in cancer and offers an interesting new drug target to be studied further."
Lead scientist Dr Patrick Varga-Weisz, said: "Our intestine is the home of countless bacteria that help in the digestion of foods such as plant fibres. They also act as a barrier to harmful bacteria and educate our immune system. How these bugs affect our cells is a key part of these processes. Our work illuminates how short chain fatty acids contribute to the regulation of proteins that package the genome and, thus, they affect gene activity."

That's right. Now you can see Max IN MOTION.
I've been working on this for nearly two and a half weeks. I found that I could get about 6 seconds of animation roughed out per night plus some time to smooth out the previous night's work. It's not fast, but I enjoy the results! If people respond well to this, more can be expected in the future! If not, well, I'll probably be less inclined to spend so much time on these sorts of things (roughly 64 hours worth + 20 hours rendering).
So, stop sitting around here and hit up RadiantCG.com and take your pick of video formats (DivX, WMV, and Quicktime). There should be one that works for everyone!


Do you believe your fitness regimen suffices to obtain you in shape? Are you under the misconception that you can simply go burn off at the gym any type of food you place in your body and that you will build muscle mass?
If you have answered yes to both of these concerns you are incorrect. Physical fitness surpasses simply exercising. It includes eating a balanced diet regimen, sleeping enough each night to redeem your energy, taking various body building supplements (these are especially crucial to help develop muscular tissue mass), and exercising regularly.
All the foods groups are very important for your body to be able to participate in and also obtain one of the most from a health and fitness routine, you can't just rely on bodybuilding supplements. Low-fat dairy helps you have strong bones for the calcium it supplies.
Lean protein provides your body crucial amino acids that replicate muscle mass growth. Muscular tissues do not get bigger without protein despite just how hard you exercise in your fitness regimen. Complicated carbs provide you energy.
Healthy oils aid your body assimilate the fat-soluble vitamins as well as assist the digestion processes in the body. Supplements can be taken, yet not instead of the foods noted only in addition to them, much more these later on.
You need to rest adequate each night to redeem the power you have actually made use of during the day. Many people require a minimum of 8 hrs a rest during the night. You sleep this numerous hours each night you are bound to have plenty of power the following day, as long as you are also consuming healthy.
You can't stay up all night as well as run all day effective, additionally joining your health and fitness routine will certainly be harder when you are not well rested. For more information on supplements, read this.
To strengthen up your body, take body building supplements in addition to eating healthy. This will certainly allow your body to have all the necessary nutrients to construct strong muscle mass. You will also develop more muscle mass than you would certainly simply depending on the food you consume.
It is hard to take in adequate healthy protein in food alone for you to get the complete benefit out of your health and fitness regimen. Whey healthy protein supplements help to provide you the additional protein required to build muscle mass. Other bodybuilding supplements you can take are such things as multivitamins, glutamine, as well as creatine simply to point out several of them.
In addition to whatever else pointed out here, you have to take part in your physical fitness routine regularly to obtain and remain in form. Certain, it is good to take a time off here and there to relax your muscular tissues, but you must have a regular schedule for your exercise. Without this, the muscle building supplements, consuming healthy or resting will certainly not achieve as lots of outcomes.
Bear in mind, it takes a combination of all these points to get and also stay in shape. No one thing by itself will bring you real health and fitness. Your body needs to be total healthy and balanced through nutrition, remainder, muscle building supplements and also exercise. Begin today by putting these entirely for your body.

Q: Does this condition for finding the limit points work? I am reading Topology Without Tears, and I've been scribbling notes in the margin trying to streamline some of Morris's more... inefficient explanations. Being the soulless automaton that I am, I always try to state definitions in computation-friendly way. To that end, does this work as a definition for limit points?

Let $X$ be a set and $T$ a topology on $X$. For $A\subseteq X$, $x$ is
  a limit point of $A$ iff $\{x\}\notin\bigcup_{\tau\in T} \{A\cap\tau\}$.

As far as I can tell, this directly follows from definition 3.1.1

Let $A$ be a subset of a topological space $(X,\mathcal{T})$. A point $x\in X$ is said to be a limit point (or accumulation point or cluster point) of $A$ if every open set, $U$, containing $x$ contains a point of $A$ different from $x$.

A: No, your union loses the part of the definition where we only consider open sets that contain $x$. If we denote by $O_x =\{O \in \tau: x \in O\}$, the set of open neighbourhoods of $x$, then $x$ is a limit point of $A$ iff $\emptyset \notin \{O \cap A: O \in O_x\}$ and $\{x\} \notin \{O \cap A: O \in O_x\}$, or equivalently
$$\{\emptyset, \{x\}\} \cap \{O \cap A: O \in O_x\} = \emptyset$$
This way of seeing it might be useful if the topology would be given by a list of sets $O_x$, for each $x \in X$, which is one of the options to "encode" a topology.

A: No, it doesn't work. The right-hand side is simply $A$ itself, so you ended up defining the complement of $A$, not its limit points.
Explanation:

*

*Since clearly $A\cap\tau\subseteq A$ for any $\tau$, we have that $\bigcup_{\tau\in T}A\cap\tau\subseteq A$.

*Since $\tau=X\in T$ by definition of a topology, we have that $A=A\cap X\subseteq\bigcup_{\tau\in T}A\cap\tau$.
P.S. And a quick note regarding notation: it should be either "$\{x\}\not\subseteq\bigcup_{\tau\in T}A\cap\tau$" or "$x\notin\bigcup_{\tau\in T}A\cap\tau$".

Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Central Asia.
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has emerged as a major threat to TB control, particularly in the former Soviet Union. To determine levels of drug resistance within a directly observed treatment strategy (DOTS) program supported by Médecins Sans Frontières in two regions in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, Central Asia, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of smear-positive TB patients in selected districts of Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Dashoguz (Turkmenistan). High levels of MDR-TB were found in both regions. In Karakalpakstan, 14 (13%) of 106 new patients were infected with MDR-TB; 43 (40%) of 107 previously treated patients were similarly infected. The proportions for Dashoguz were 4% (4/105 patients) and 18% (18/98 patients), respectively. Overall, 27% of patients with positive smear results whose infections were treated through the DOTS program in Karakalpakstan and 11% of similar patients in Dashoguz were infected with multidrug-resistant strains of TB on admission. These results show the need for concerted action by the international community to contain transmission and reduce the effects of MDR-TB.
To assess the proportion of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients with potential earlier RR-TB diagnoses in Khayelitsha, South Africa.
South Africa is one of the world's 22 high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, with the second highest number of notified rifampicin-resistant TB (R(R)-TB) and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) cases.

Because who hasn't dreamed of having their own jetpack?
Test pilot David Mayman has trialled a James Bond style jetpack, flying for four minutes across the River Thames in London. They could soon be on sale to the general public.
If you've ever dreamed of flying on a jetpack, you may soon get your chance, and you won't need to join MI5.
An Australian pilot has just tested the world's first commercially available jetpack, the JB-10, which allows one person to take off vertically with the power of two turbo jet engines strapped to them.
David Mayman, who founded the company JetPack Aviation, flew 100 feet into the air over the River Thames in London and zoomed around for four minutes. The jetpack has the capacity to reach speeds of 60 mph and runs on aviation fuel while it is controlled by twin joysticks.
The current design can support up to 350 Ibs and is strapped to a person's back like a backpack. In fact, it does look suspiciously like the jetpack that Sean Connery wore as Bond in Thunderball.
While some larger jetpacks are expected to be reserved for the U.S. Special Forces, the plan is to also sell them to normal people with James Bond fantasies as soon as 2019.
However, before you get carried away, it's worth noting that the expected retail price is around $250,000, so it's not going to be the cheapest party trick to pull off.
"A lot of us spent time in our youth fantasising about what it would be like to follow Buck Rogers up into the air with our very own jetpacks. We are getting a lot closer to launching a commercial product but there is still much further that we can take our design and ideas," Mayman told the Daily Mail.
This is just the latest successful test of a jetpack with Mayman having tested previous models more than 400 times in locations from New York to Monaco.
Finally, jetpacks may be on their way and before long you'll surely have one in your house along with your hoverboard, although you may need to wait for the prices to drop off a little.
How low does the price need to come down before people will actually buy one of these?
A jetpack sounds like a good idea, but it's not exactly the most practical way to get around. You're probably better off spending that $250,000 on a Lamborghini if you want to make an entrance.
Jetpacks have long been promised but never materialized, in fact even in the 1940s it was widely stated that they would become commonplace methods of travel, but the economics of producing them has never added up.

Poll: Which upcoming phone has caught your eye?
Things are gearing up in the Android world, with several brands lining up new devices which are due for release very, very soon. But which of those is the best? Are one of them going to be your next phone?
Want to see more of our favorite phones this year?
There are some exciting highlights to mention ahead of the next few weeks from many brands. Let's start with the Motorola Moto G6, which was released on Thursday, bringing three new devices to the mid-range, the G6 Play, Plus and the standard version.
Next, we're likely to see the LG G7 ThinQ, which will arrive May 2nd, or the HTC's next flagship, the U12 which will be arriving at the end of the month or early May. The successor to the OnePlus 5T, the OnePlus 6 will also arrive in May, as well as the Honor 10, which has been presented in China, but will then be launched internationally.
Of course, you'll remember the Nokia family that was presented at MWC, a set of devices that will have Android One, including the Nokia 1, Nokia 6 (2018) and the Nokia 7 Plus, followed by the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The classic banana phone unfortunately has no US release.
Which smartphone are you most excited about?
In my experience of Chinese products including their phones is that they have all the bells and whistles on them but they are poor quality and never last.Only recently bought a Zomei neutral density filter for my camera looked good felt quality but was absolutely crap and with blurred images totally rubbish.
The smartphone I am most exited for whatever Huawei is working on, weather it is the Huawei Mate 11 Pro, or something else.
Any flagship smartphone on the list with a headphone jack is a winner in my book.
I'm fine with what Honor / Huawei have released so far ..... I'd like to see ZTE release a new Axon / Blade (the latest sanctions from the US isn't going to support this - but then again ZTE was warned).
None really. I'm still using a Mate9, and probably will for about another year.
Is Xperia not on your list? Do you consider it inconsequential?

Gay/Lesbian Anti Violence Project
IT CAN GET BETTER, HERE'S AT LEAST A START
Like you, I've been confounded by the recent run of gay teen suicides and queer bashings in gay spaces (in Chelsea, at Stonewall) in New York. Is it because it's close to a contentious mid-term election and people in general are simply passing down their general financial frustration to their children and said children are acting out? One of the most frustrating things about the recent outbreak is the sheer helplessness it engenders. Vigils, rallies, marches, laws - none of it can stop people simply being mean to each other. You cannot legislate good will. You can't force people to stop saying or doing unkind things to each other.
As a survivor of domestic abuse from a sibling and years of playground bullying, I'm particularly sensitive to the young boys that felt it was better to kill themselves than to continue on living. It literally breaks my heart. The "It Gets Better" campaign is a definite start - anything that gets the stories of growing up gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transsexual out into the world is a very good thing.
But is it enough? Fortunately there's also The Trevor Project http://www.thetrevorproject.org which helps counsel those young people contemplating suicide. Especially at this time, it's important for those in the entertainment industry to get the word out in various media (online, television, movies) that these kinds of resources exist. (Want to know where the name "Trevor" comes from in The Trevor Project? It's from a short film by Randy Stone, Patty Rajeski and the amazing, incredible James Lecesne whose one man show in the early 90s was one of the most incredible pieces of theatre I've ever seen. Anyway, I found the short film in two parts on You Tube, you can watch it below - in two parts - part 2 overlaps quite a bit with part 1 btw and includes an afterword by Ellen (not in the original piece) - or you can simply purchase the film, the proceeds of which will go to the Trevor Project . If you're an educator, you can arrange to get a complimentary copy for your class).
As you all know, I also support New York's Gay/Lesbian Anti-Violence Project http://www.avp.org which, among it's other services, offers a 24/7 hotline to report anti-LGBT violence.
What can you do to help? The same thing that I always recommend - if you aren't able to contribute dollars and cents, donate your time because many times these organizations are running on a shoestring (even more so than normal) and what they can always use more of is able bodies to help make the day go smoother.
Of course you can also come out. If you're reading this blog and you're still in the closet, please know that what you're saying is: it's not OK to be gay. It IS OK to be gay, bashings aside. It's because the bullies think we're powerless that they feel empowered to hurt us.
Here's what I suggest: I suggest that some smart cookie find a space in Chelsea and open up a defense arts place and call it FAGS AND DYKES AND TRANNIES FIGHT BACK. Sure, some gyms offer those kinds of services, but I'm talking a real knock 'em down, poke 'em in the eye type business, not an aerobic defense routine (and there are those of you who certainly know what I'm talking about). I'm not suggesting that we start looking for trouble, but it would be great to have the confidence to be able to fight back if we had to. I'm not sure that I would know what to do...would you?
If you have been bashed then the best place to call to report is the Gay/Lesbian Anti Violence Project. http://www.avp.org. They could also use your support. And if you are flush this season, consider attending AVP's biggest fundraising event of the year, The Courage Awards, this year hosted by BD Wong. You can find info on the event, Monday October 18th here in NYC by going to their website. And if you're not able to go, consider making a donation so they too can continue to operate.
On a related note, AVP will be back at Bingo on Wednesday November 3rd with very special guests comic Judy Gold and singer Athena Reich courtesy of SASIPR http://www.sasipr.com (Athena is the co-creator of the buzzed about gay soap, 16TH AND 8TH, a show, by the way, that takes place in the center of the gayest neighborhood this side of the Castro - Chelsea ... just in case you didn't know that it's a gayborhood!).
And on a yet another related note, tonight, Wednesday October 6th, AVP is doing a rally tonight at 5:30 at 9th Ave. and W. 25th Street, the spot of the "this isn't your neighborhood" incident over the weekend. Let's show the fockers just how super gay this neighborhood IS!!!
Oct 6, 2010 12:00:45 PM | Gay/Lesbian Anti Violence Project, New York City, Will Clark's JOURNAL
CANCEL YOUR TUESDAY NIGHT PLANS & GET TO STONEWALL BY 7:30!
AVP has called the community to meet in front of Stonewall TONIGHT (Tuesday) at 7:30 to let those that would beat us up and terrorize us anywhere but especially in our own bars that we will no longer tolerate it!!
If you cannot make it then, tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6pm AVP is calling for people to meet at 9th Ave and W. 25th Street for a rally to protest those morons that would tell US that WE don't belong in OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
Finally for those of you that will be coming to P*rno Bingo tomorrow (Wednesday) night, we WILL be shooting a very short bit for a IT GETS BETTER video. I hope that if you don't want to share your own story, please come down and be a part of the crowd shot. It would be depressing if I shot a crowd of ten people saying "it gets better" LOL :) Plus we have a really fun show lined up so it'll be a good night to join us for some kind of fun evening! That's at Pieces (8 Christopher Street) starting at 8pm.
Oct 5, 2010 7:20:14 PM | Gay/Lesbian Anti Violence Project, New York City
I SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING BETTER WITH MY TIME THAN WRITING ABOUT MORE ANTI GAY VIOLENCE
What is wrong with people these days?
Not only has the number of gay teen suicides reached half a dozen in the past couple weeks but over the weekend AVP is now reporting of anti gay harrassments/violence in Manhattan (one in Chelsea and one at Stonewall in the West Village of all places). In CHELSEA. Apparently one group of guys confronted a couple shouting "you don't belong in this neighborhood". You mean the very neighborhood that the gay gentrified over the past thirty years and made safe so now even babies in strollers could be left on the street without a problem? My God there's even a Chipotle on the strip near where boys used to shop for trendy underwear.
I asked my therapist (who does a lot of work with the teen suicide organization, The Trevor Project) if this is a case of all things gay/violence being usually underreported or if this really is an uptick ... and he was just kind of flabbergasted saying that it's a little of both but that even this is ridiculous.. and scary.
I think it's all well and good to chat amongst ourselves because who reading this (or one of the other eleventy million other gay blogs out there) doesn't believe bashing in the head of one of our own is a bad thing?
All the laws and vigils and signs and marches don't seem to change much but maybe telling our stories will and as you all know there's a campaign out there "It Gets Better" and if we all tell our stories, and kids (and maybe even some adults) resist giving in to the temptation to avoid the abuse by letting the bullies get what they want - their target dead and gone - perhaps we will have done something that no law, vigil or march will have done.
So keep recording those videos, they do help. If only each other knowing that so many others have gone through the same things that you did as a kid. I know I did.
Here's what Neil Patrick Harris had to say in the latest in this campaign:

AVP condemns hate violence assault on Staten Island, encourages reporting of hate violence incidents
AVP is outraged by the bias attack on Luis Vieira, 47, and his partner, Richard Vieira, 39, that occurred at a White Castle in the Stapleton neighborhood of Staten Island at about 2:30 am on Wednesday. The victims allege that they passed a group of about 40 youths on Bay Street and that three members of this group entered the White Castle shortly after they did and approached their table using hate language in a verbal exchange with the victims. The youths walked away, but moments later, Luis was hit in the back of the head. He and his partner rushed out to the parking lot but saw the larger group of youths gathered there. Luis returned inside to ask a restaurant employee to call 911 when he realized that his partner, Richard, was not with him. Luis went back outside to find Richard badly beaten and bleeding from his head in the parking lot. Richard Vieira was taken by ambulance to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton, Staten Island where he received stitches. He has since been released.
Luis has stated that he believes he was singled out by the group because he was wearing a rainbow arm band and points out that none of the other patrons in the White Castle were harassed or harmed. Following the assault, Luis Vieira made calls to various law enforcement agencies and the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating this assault as a hate crime.
"Hate language is a form of hate violence, and as in the case of this brutal assault on Luis and Richard Vieira, we see how fluidly hate language can escalate into physical violence," said Sharon Stapel, Executive Director of the New York City Anti-Violence Project. AVP will be following up on this incident and working with the NYPD and elected officials as needed.
AVP encourages you to report any anti-LGBTQ bias, including hate speech and physical violence, to our 24-hour bilingual (English/Spanish) hotline at 212-714-1141 where you can speak with a trained counselor and seek the support you need.
In addition, AVP has also introduced a new secure online form for reporting anti-LGBTQ bias incidentsthat you have experienced or witnessed. AVP provides individual counseling, support groups, advocacy and referrals to LGBTQ survivors of hate violence. Please call our 24-hour bilingual (English/Spanish) hotline at 212-714-1141 for more information.

An Appeal from the Anti Violence Project
As you all know, I heavily support the New York City Anti Violence Project. Having a violent brother (beyond just sibling stuff) and growing up in rural Wisconsin where anyone artistic regardless of sexual orientation was called a 'fag', a 'fairy' or 'femmy' (like any of those are bad things!), I know all too well from first hand experience the terrorizing feeling of being victimized.
The work that AVP does is essential to the continued mass mental health of our community and so today I urge you, if you are able to make a little gift to AVP they will be very appreciative.
Now here's a letter from the executive director about their current situation.. ack!! If you can donate that's great, because no one deserves to get beaten up. No one. Ever. Beaten-off, yes. Always. Continuously. :) As you know, AVP is the beneficiary for the July 11th Bad Boys party and we'll all looking forward to THAT! :)
Thanks all and I'll be posting more later on today,
As of June 29, the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP) has received more than 400 gifts to our Annual Fund this fiscal year. Thank you for your incredible generosity!
Due to the budget crisis in Albany, however, more than $175,000 of government support earmarked for AVP for this fiscal year are still being held up in Albany without a guarantee that we'll receive the funds - and we need this money to close our fiscal year, which ends tomorrow. So we're counting on your help right now.
Please help us by giving as generously as you can before midnight tomorrow, June 30.
This coming year AVP will commemorate three decades of being a safe refuge and compassionate support system for countless victims and survivors of violence, and with your support, we will continue to be here for as long as we need to be, fighting for a world where violence against LGBTQ and HIV-affected people no longer exists. AVP's services are vital to the LGBTQ communities and our work has been recognized for its excellence. This month our Board of Directors was awarded the Allan Morrow Prize for Excellence in Board Leadership from the Stonewall Community Foundation, given annually to a New York City-based LGBTQ organization that exemplifies how board engagement and leadership directly contribute to the organization's effectiveness in carrying out its mission. .
Please make a tax-deductible donation of $30, $300, $3,000, or whatever you can afford, before midnight tomorrow.
And please forward this message to anyone who believes in our work.
Thank you so much for being our partners over the last 30 years, for your generous support and for standing with AVP to create a safe world for all of us.

PRIDE WEEK EVENTS: STRIPPERS FROM SUN-UP TO SUN-DOWN
Good morning, all, it's Father's Day and in celebration of Daddy's everywhere, gay men of New York schlep around W. 28th Street in strips of leather and get drunk. It's all about getting naked today at various locations around Manhattan.
First, it's the New York version of the very popular San Francisco debauch - Folsom Street East is definitely a sight seeing The highlight from last year's party was watching burly leathermen squeal when it started to rain.
Well, mist, actually. I also made a few juvenile pee jokes because I'm 12.
But it's a gorgeous day so undoubtedly there'll be burly McBeardy's stripped down to the nubbins.
Anyway, you can do the lookie loos yourself by going to W. 28th today throughout the afternoon. $10 donation to GMSMA gets you in the gate.
There are leathermen and leatherwomen roaming the streets while porn stars strip and sing on stage. Thankfully there's Peppermint and Mike Dreyden there to keep that moving along briskly.
Also, be sure to visit the Anti Violence Project table and pick up a Bad Boys on the Hudson postcard featuring pics of all the stars - and I may have a big announcement this week about the party so stay tuned (you will know it when you hear it).
If that's just not your scene, though, the infamous comic Lea DeLaria will be hosting her bi-weekly Jazz Brunch from 2 to 4:30 at Smoke Jazz and Supper Club located at 2751 Broadway (at W. 106th). There's no cover and Brunch is reasonably priced.
This evening, it's the maiden voyage of the Sunday night Sea Tea event featuring DJ Max Rodriguez. Every week at least one or two groups sponsor the night and on Sunday the 20th the groups are Strength in Numbers (an HIV positive social group) and a Polyamorous group. This means that you're bound to get lucky one way or another by the time the boat has docked at 10pm. Laritza Dumont performs. Boarding begins at 6 and leaves the dock promptly at 7:30. As usual, there's a buffet on board and a cash bar. Tickets are $22 in advance and $25 at the door (if available).
Finally, tonight, the big strip show, the annual Broadway Bares event at Roseland which this year aims to raise a million dollars (that's a lotta bills in someone's g string)– and just might do it with the addition of a number of events at Splash in the weeks before. There's a 9:30 show and then there's a midnight show. If you can get tix for the midnight show, go to that one, it's a bit more raunchy (not only on stage but out in the audience too – not that I'm speaking from personal experience, I mean).
and then after that? You're on your own to find your stripping adventures, I know I will be.... <wink>

A MESSAGE FROM AVP ABOUT PRIDE SEASON
June is Pride month, a time of great celebration for our communities, but also a time where the reports of violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) communities historically increase. So far this month alone:
A knife-wielding man making anti-gay remarks in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, harassed two men.
The Ali Forney Center's shelter for homeless LGBT youth in Astoria, Queens was defaced with anti-gay graffiti.
The retrial of Keith Phoenix, one of two men charged with committing a hate crime in the murder of Jose Sucuzhañay, began. Phoenix's first trial ended in a mistrial as the jury could not decide between a charge of manslaughter or murder as a hate crime, and jury selection for the new trial has brought hate crimes to the forefront of discussion and debate.
A memo from the Justice Department reached the press indicating that cases of same-sex domestic violence and stalking should be prosecuted the same as in heterosexual couples.
The more visible we are, the more vulnerable we are to anti-LGBTQ bias and hate. Even in New York, a city historically considered more LGBTQ friendly than other places in the nation and world, our communities live with a disproportionate amount of fear that we will be targeted just for being ourselves and living our lives. This hate violence is meant to send a message of fear and intimidation to the LGBTQ communities and AVP stands with our communities to say we are proud of who we are and we will not tolerate this violence.
AVP encourages you to be especially aware of your surroundings this month—and always— and to report any anti-LGBTQ bias, including hate speech and physical violence, to our 24-hour bilingual (English/Spanish) hotline at 212-714-1141 where you can speak with a trained counselor and seek the support you need. In addition, AVP has also introduced a new secure online form for reporting anti-LGBTQ bias incidents that you have experienced or witnessed.

Stampede in Seoul | "I couldn't do my duty and I'm very sorry": Policeman who tried to stop Halloween tragedy
Nick Marsh
BBC News, Seoul
Kim Baek-gyeom is still visibly shaken by what he saw Saturday night in Seoul's popular Itaewon district.
He is a deputy inspector in the capital of South Korea and was on duty that tragic night.
"We received a report of a fight in the area, so I arrived at the scene between 10.10 and 10.15 p.m.," he explains to the BBC at his police station in Itaewon, a few meters from where the tragedy happened. .
He says that he saw people lying on the ground and heard screams. "I tried to do my duty, to help people. Unfortunately, I couldn't"he says.
But a video shared on social media showing his desperate efforts to chase people out of the alley has earned praise from South Koreans, even as it highlights the inadequate police presence on the ground that night.
The video shows a young and lonely figure in uniform, with deep concern on his face, trying to stop the huge tide of bodies moving away from the narrow alley on the hillside where more than 150 people will eventually lose their lives.
"People are dying!, he screams desperately. "Everyone move here, please cooperate!"
Inspector Kim wasn't even supposed to be there. Although his police station is in the heart of Itaewon, he was not deployed on the streets that night.
Those streets would eventually be filled with more than 100,000 people, mostly young people, who came to enjoy the Halloween parties.

This narrow alley was crowded with people trying to exit in different directions.
"I was at the police station, waiting to be sent for any crime that might happen in Itaewon that night," he recalls. There was no question of crowd control, not tonight, not even in the days leading up to Halloween.
We received a report of a fight near the tree line, so I immediately went out to the scene, he says.
Then the inspector saw that there were many people in a dangerous crowd. People were crushed at the bottom of the steep alley that connects the main road with the bar-filled streets on the hill.
To try to prevent additional crushing at the bottom, he decided he needed to prevent people from going to the upper part of the alley.
"As can be seen the HonIpart, I started screaming and asking people to go somewhere else"cubes.
Most of the people around him obeyed him and, in fact, many began to help him lead the crowd. Soon, dozens of people were performing CPR on the victims, as crowd control efforts quickly turned into a rescue operation.
Kim says he did not see other officers at the scene of the tragedy, although he was later informed that others were involved in the rescue.
Working alone, without a megaphone or any basic plan of action, he faced the impossible task of trying to avoid the catastrophe unfolding before him.

South Korea's police chief has admitted that the police response to the emergency was "inadequate".
The sheer number of people who lost their lives that night left him with a great deal of guilt.
"I feel like I didn't do my best. I didn't do my duty as a Korean police officer and I'm really sorry," he says.
The mother of one of the victims contacted the inspector on Thursday to thank him for his performance that evening.
"I was very sorry that I couldn't thank him," he recalls.
"I was unable to do my job that night. I would like to meet the bereaved relatives and express my apologies and speak to them if possible."
Those families now want answers as anger at South Korean authorities grows.
A makeshift memorial to the victims in front of a subway station in the Itaewon district.
On Wednesday, special investigators raided eight police stations in Seoul to gather evidence as part of an investigation into how the human avalanche could have been created.
There is more and more evidence of government failures. First of all, because they didn't plan well on Saturday night, and later because they didn't respond effectively to the emergency calls warning of overcrowding, which started coming in hours before the disaster.
In the days leading up to the tragedy, Yongsan-gu District held two meetings to discuss how to handle Halloween celebrations. As stated on her page, among other things there was talk about covid, garbage collection and illegal parking.
There was no mention of crowd control, despite the county's mayor admitting a day earlier that this would be the first Halloween in three years without social distancing measures.
The head of the South Korean police also admitted this on Tuesday his body's emergency response was "inadequate" and that he feels a "great responsibility" for the death.
However, Inspector Kim's efforts have won the admiration of the general public, although he wants the focus to remain on the families of the victims.
"A lot of people contacted me and asked if I was okay," he says.
"But instead of worrying about me, think of the bereaved families who will suffer the most. Please pray for them."

Trump's Climate Denial Is Helping to Put His Own Businesses Underwater
Tonight, President Trump officially kicks off his 2020 re-election campaign with a rally in Orlando. It's sure to be a raucous event, with not a word - or not a serious word, anyway - about the biggest challenge of our time: climate change.
Few places in America have more at stake in the climate crisis than Florida, where billions of dollars worth of real estate are perched on the edge of quickly rising seas. Orlando is high ground, more than 80 feet above sea level. It's in no danger of drowning from rising seas anytime soon. But other parts of Florida are already in big trouble. There are not many examples of poetic justice to be found in the climate crisis, but here's one: Trump's prized resort, Trump National Doral, where he will hold his first fundraiser of the campaign season on Wednesday morning, is not long for this world.
As Trump Launches 2020 Bid in Florida, the Sunshine State Pines for Biden
Why Did Trump Tip Off Immigrants That ICE Will Begin Deporting 'Millions' Next Week?
Please Stop Thinking This Will Be a Fair Election
Here is a map showing the current location of Trump's property, a few miles outside of Miami:
And here is what it looks like with seven feet of sea-level rise, which is about a foot less than the high-end sea level rise projections from NOAA, the top U.S. ocean science agency, by the end of the century:
Trump, of course, thinks the climate crisis is a conspiratorial plot cooked up by environmentalists, China, impeachment-minded billionaires like Tom Steyer, and corrupt scientists just to bankrupt his fat-cat friends in the fossil fuel industry. Whenever the subject of climate change comes up, Trump doesn't even pretend to take it seriously. A few years ago, he called it "a total, and very expensive, hoax." More recently, he argued that climate "changes both ways," making it sound as if the Earth's climate were some swinger he met back in his Studio 54 days.
For Trump, accelerating the climate crisis has become almost a personal crusade. One of his first moves as president was to pull America out of the Paris Climate Accord. His administration has gutted President Obama's Clean Power Plan, undermined science advisory boards, and advocated changing the way deaths from air pollution are calculated, which, if implemented, the EPA will use to justify further loosening of air pollution rules. In recent months, Trump installed William Happer, who is not a climate scientist, as a climate adviser on the National Security Council. Happer, who has deep links with the climate-denial crowd, recently compared the "demonization" of carbon dioxide to the treatment of Jews under Hitler.
But the Earth's climate is not like some pollster Trump can fire if he doesn't like the results. And rising seas will have an impact on his Doral resort long before there are sharks swimming over the 18th hole. Property values in flood-prone areas of Miami are already in decline. Who will want to buy a golf resort that is destined to be a playground for octopus and barracuda? Doonberg, Trump's money-losing golf course in Ireland, is also threatened by rising seas. The Trump Organization actually cited "global warming and its effects" in a zoning application to build a sea wall to protect the Doonberg golf course in 2016. So when it comes to his own fortunes, he's willing to admit the impact of climate change. But when he's in a position to help avoid the potential displacement and suffering of millions of people, not to mention the extinction of millions of plants and animals, he perpetuates disinformation and denial.
As for Trump's Doral property, it already is underwater in some ways. It was built in 1962, and went through a succession of owners until 2012, when Trump's company purchased it out of bankruptcy for $150 million. The Trump organization pumped $250 million into renovation, which was completed in 2016.
But like everything Trump touches, it has been a financial disaster. In May, a consultant for Trump's company described the 643-room resort as in "sharp decline." In just two years, the Washington Post reported, the resort's net operating income had fallen by 69 percent. "They are severely underperforming" other resorts in the area, tax consultant Jessica Vachiratevanurak told a Miami-Dade County official. The reason: "There is some negative connotation that is associated with the brand."
In other words, it's not only climate change that is sinking the resort. It's Trump himself.
Unfortunately, that's true for the country as well.

With over 20 years of experience and over 100 projects successfully deployed, CareDirector is a leader in providing interoperable, flexible case management and financial management software to government and nonprofit program providers that focus on individuals with developmental disabilities. CareDirector software allows resource-constrained organizations to easily configure their system with non-technical staff to satisfy both current and future business processes, data collection, and reporting requirements.

Your agency can implement CareDirector as your core platform, or select any number of our modular Child Welfare options such as Intake hotline, Providers, Assessments, Case Management and Financial Management.
CareDirector provides an intuitive, flexible software solution for providers that supports the developmental disability and long term care population. Our solution supports providers with a fully integrated case management, time and attendance, tracking and billing system. This allows providers to complete intake and assessments, manage consumer/participant records, document service plans, track program enrolments, class schedules, record service delivery and document service authorizations.
CareDirector for the aged and disabled offers comprehensive assessments through Person-Centered care and coordination. Aging adults and people with disabilities want to feel empowered to keep control over their own lives, and this includes the ability to manage their own care to the fullest extent possible. CareDirector's solution offers the ability to assess needs, goals, document detailed care plans and the ability to handle complex service authorizations and claims.

Our HCBS solution allows users to have direct input into their social care requirements. It gives HCBS care professionals the power to respond in an acceptable time and cost to the changing social care demands around them.

During conference, he will cover key action items ALA members can implement in their businesses to compete with online retailers and exceed customer expectations. Phibbs bases his talks off of the knowledge that brick-and-mortar retailers are facing extremely difficult and uncertain times, where margins are shrinking and online competition is fierce. However, his messaging is not to try to beat online retailers on price. Rather, Phibbs message is to change the way in which you think about in-store versus online experiences.
"Brick and mortar can give shoppers something no online retailer can, a feeling, a feeling they matter," says Phibbs. "People who feel they matter buy more." During his presentation, Phibbs will redefine how to create an exceptional customer experience, one that grows sales and gives retailers the tools they need to succeed. Attendees will walk away with a number of simple, yet powerful action steps and takeaways to make their shoppers' experiences extraordinary.
Phibbs explains that brick-and-mortar stores are the billboard to a brand and the embodiment of what that brand stands for. "While you do need to have an online strategy that connects your physical store to your online store so that you can be wherever your shopper is to fulfill their desire for a product, you can't allow your stores to get the short shrift" Phibbs says.
For the past 30 years, Phibbs has been a champion for brick-and-mortar retailers, igniting sales increases of 20 to 50 percent for his clients. He was named one of the top retail influencers of 2016 to complement his role as an American Express merchant advisor, IBM retail futurist, and RetailWire BrainTrust partner. Phibbs' work has been featured on ABC, MSNBC, Fox News and PBS and in articles published by Entrepreneur, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. He also performs business makeovers for The Los Angeles Times and received the highest sales increase award from the number-one shopping mall in America.
