Meeting the targets? A look at this week's housing annoucements
This week has already seen two major announcements made about housing policy in Britain. On Monday, at the Commons Questions to the Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid announced that the Housing White Paper, which was expected this month, will now be published in January. Then on Tuesday, the Mayor of London, gave more detail to his plans to build 90,000 new affordable homes in London by 2021, making use of a £3.15 billion housing investment deal secured from central Government which was announced as part of the Autumn Statement (which we blogged about last week.) This forms part of the Mayor's new Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG), which is the first major housing policy to come out of the new City Hall administration. Both announcements are important to the UK housing industry – there has been a lot of discussion about the housing crisis and ways in which to 'solve' it, but the Mayor's new SPG, and the Housing White Paper, will represent a step-change in approach.
As recently as last week, the government had said its White Paper would be out by the end of this year, but another month's delay does not represent a major setback. It will be an important and comprehensive paper, to set out the government's plans for tackling the housing crisis and meeting its target of one million new homes built by 2020, so it is not unusual for there to be a slight delay; it could also be that particular aspects are having to be adjusted following some announcements in the Autumn Statement, such as the banning of letting agents' fees. Either way, both Javid and the Housing Minister, Gavin Barwell, have been clear that they face a difficult task.
The rate of house building in England has been steadily rising, which can be seen in the quarterly figures below. (All data used in this blog come from the DCLG tables, which were updated last week.)
Last year, the total number of new houses built in England was 142,600, a 20% increase on 2014, and well up on the post-Financial Crash lows. However, this number is still much lower than the 200,000 per year target that the Government has set in order to deliver 1 million new homes by 2020. Meeting the government's target would need a return to levels of building which have not been sustained since the 1970s, and will therefore require significant changes to the current housing environment.
The government has clearly recognised this, and while we await the White Paper, Phillip Hammond's Autumn Statement included some announcements that indicate the government's intentions. £2.3 billion has been set aside for an infrastructure fund to support 100,000 new homes in areas where demand for housing is high; £1.4 billion earmarked to deliver 40,000 new affordable homes in the next five years; £1.7 billion is to be invested in speeding up the construction of housing on public land.
However, investment alone will not be enough to deliver a much greater amount of housing at such rapid pace. There are many issues in the UK housing market, which vary from region to region, where individual local authorities face different challenges. A one-size-fits-all approach will not allow the growth needed, and along with putting funding in place for local areas to access, it needs to further devolve housing powers to local areas, so they can take the decisions that provide the types of housing they need. This is clear from the fact that the house building recovery since the Financial Crisis has been quite different from region to region. Although the number of new houses built each year is up in every region since the national low of 2010-11, only in London has this surpassed the pre-crash highs. In Yorkshire and the Humber, and the East of England, the recovery in terms of new houses has been sluggish.
In London, which we can see has been the biggest driver of the increase in house building, the Mayor on Tuesday published his "Homes For Londoners" Draft Affordable Housing and Viability Supplementary Planning Guidance, ahead of a draft new London Plan, which will come towards the end of 2017. This comes alongside the new £3.15 billion fund to build 90,000 new affordable homes in the capital by 2021.
In a move away from Sadiq Khan's campaign pledge, the SPG sets out a new "threshold approach to viability", which, for now, lays out a 35% affordable housing target for all new developments. While the Mayor has re-affirmed a longer-term commitment to a 50% target, it is clear that his administration has realised that the need to build housing – of all kinds – in much greater numbers than previously requires a target that doesn't frighten developers. This is a welcome and pragmatic move, and the Mayor also plans to do it in a way which helps another issue we have previously raised: by speeding up the planning process.
As an incentive to developers to meet the 35% target, any application which meets or exceeds the threshold, provides on-site affordable housing and meets other requirements such as the appropriate mix of tenure, will not be required to submit viability information about the scheme. In effect, this will mean a quicker planning process for such developments. As well as helping deliver new homes for Londoners at a greater speed, the clearer and faster process will be good for developers: they know that if they meet the 35% threshold, they will spend less time in planning, get on site sooner and reduce their costs.
Alongside this, the Affordable Homes Programme 2016-21 will use the £3.15 billion as grants to increase the amount of affordable housing on developer led sites above 35%, and to support the GLA's approved providers build schemes with at least 50% affordable housing. The Mayor's hope is that this change in policy, tied to greater funding, will help 17,000 new affordable homes per year, which is significantly higher than is currently being achieved.
Indeed, there were that many completed in 2014-15, but that number has dropped dramatically as the number of starts on site are much lower than they were in 2010-11, a trend which looks set to continue based on the provisional statistics for 2016-16.
Given that affordability is such a key issue in the London housing market at the moment, which has the highest house price to income ratio in the UK, this is an unsurprising focus from the new Mayor. It is also demonstrated by the introduction of a new intermediate affordable housing product: London Living Rent.
The SPG states that this will help households with around average earnings save for a deposit to buy their own home, through lower rents and time-limited tenancies. It will be restricted to tenants with a maximum household income of £60,000. The rents will be capped based on ward-level house price and incomes, so that a two-bedroom London Living Rent property will cost approximately one-third of the local median household income. Current affordable rent levels will become "genuinely affordable", and be set much lower than the current 80% of market value, with individual local authorities given the opportunity to give guidance on what they consider these to be for their borough. For London Living Rent, or other intermediate affordable housing, grants will be available to developers of up to £28,000 per unit. For the low cost rent products, either "genuinely affordable" or social rent, there will be up to £60,000 per house built. If these policies work as hoped, this represents a massive change for the London market: mass construction of housing, funded by large government grants, at significantly subsidised rents.
With big changes ahead, we will be watching developments carefully, both in London and beyond, and we will be sure to look at some of these again in greater detail.

The philosophy that drives my work is the belief that the ritual of planning and participating in a funeral or memorial is one of the most healing gifts the survivors can be given. To have someone who genuinely cares for them listen to their stories, their memories and their pain, and reflect that back to them in a meaningful, connected and hopeful way starts the survivors on the right path towards grieving well, and ultimately moving forward with a greater appreciation for life. I am not merely a "functionary"--someone who is planning a service. I am--for the time the family and I work together--their "pastor"...offering compassion, empathy and humor to help them through the important ritual of honoring and saying goodbye to their loved one.
"Cookie Cutter" services – I work hard to make every service personal. While I offer a "template" when meeting with families, I always prioritize a family's wishes.
Last minute or late arrivals – I typically arrive ½ hour prior to service.
Preaching and Altar Calls – unless specifically requested by a family.
I guarantee that my work will contribute to a family's satisfaction with the service (and referral) you provide. I maintain a full refund policy if a family is not satisfied with my work.

Known as "The Men's Groomer" in Hollywood, Jason Schneidman is the mane man for A-Listers like Bruno Mars, Jonah Hill, Rob Lowe, and our subject of the day, Mr Hugh Jackman.
Talking to us from the Chris McMillan salon in Beverly Hills, Schneidman shares the hairstyling and skincare tips he's been applying throughout Jackman's press tour for his new movie The Wolverine, which opens today.
"First and foremost," Schneidman says, "I always ask Hugh to wash his hair the morning before an appearance. With all the products that a man uses these days –hairspray, paste, dry shampoo– it's important for him to use a shampoo adapted to his hair type. Because I like to style the hair very big, the Dove Men+Care Thickening Shampoo ($4.99, 12oz) is my favorite. It's a 2-in-1 formula, so you don't need a conditioner after washing your hair with it.


Caputo unveiled an outdoor instruction space in the back courtyard of Kingston on Tuesday.
Cherry Hill Girl Scout Alexa Caputo stands in front of one of the four tables she created as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Caputo turned four pieces of construction spool into four tables for use as part of an outdoor instructional area at Kingston Elementary School.
Alexa Caputo is an excellent student at Cherry Hill High School West, having been named to the honor roll every semester for her first three years and owning a 3.8 grade point average when she began her senior year this week.
Caputo said her first school when she moved to Cherry Hill, Kingston Elementary, is a big reason she has become the student she is today. When she was younger, Caputo said she struggled to learn in a typical classroom environment and had trouble sitting still in class. Despite this, she said her teachers at Kingston were very encouraging and would sometimes take the class outside to help teach them in a different setting.
Caputo wanted to create a permanent outdoor learning area to give back to her alma mater. On Tuesday, Caputo unveiled her Girl Scout Gold Award project, four tables made of large construction spools. The tables were handpainted and placed in the back courtyard of Kingston Elementary, giving the school an outdoor classroom.
Caputo believes the area will help enhance the classroom experience at Kingston, giving students in grades kindergarten through five a chance to learn in a new environment.
Caputo is entering her 14th year as a Girl Scout. A member of Troop №30419, Caputo said Girl Scouts is the perfect way to give back to the community and her love of service is why she has continued with Scouting through high school.
For her Gold Award project, Caputo used large construction spools she received from a University of Pennsylvania construction site for the four tables.
Numerous volunteers contributed to the project, including some of Caputo's former Kingston teachers, members of her Girl Scout troop as well as Girl Scout Troop №30328 and a number of Kingston's fifth-grade peer leaders. Each of the tables features a unique design and the Scouts and peer leaders who helped paint their tables left their own mark.
Numerous school officials joined Tuesday's unveiling, including Superintendent Joe Meloche and Kingston principal Will Marble. Also attending were Caputo's former teachers at Kingston, who took a break preparing for the first day of school to check out the new outdoor instruction space.
The Gold Award project took Caputo about 90 hours to complete and challenged her artistic and construction skills. Despite this, Caputo said performing service projects such as the outdoor classroom area is what she loves most about Girls Scouts. She encourages other girls in the area to get involved with Scouting and plans to remain involved with the organization as an adult.


The dreaded drama triangle is a toxic dysfunction that hinders growth, effectiveness, and productivity among individuals, groups, and organizations. There are three predominant roles in the dreaded drama triangle: victim, persecutor, and rescuer. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the drama triangle roles, explore how the drama triangle roles hinder individual growth and group development, and introduce the empowerment dynamic as an approach that facilitates transformational self-directed lifelong learning.
Lifelong learning opportunities occur through formal education, workplace training, and other less formal venues. Ferrari (2016) explains there is a "natural context of daily life within which we are continually learning in informal and non-formal contexts, even in adulthood" (p. 480). Through these learning engagements, people gain new knowledge, skills, and abilities.
What makes learning transformational? Transformation in learning occurs as learners self-evaluate, make sense, create meaning, and change as a result of the experience (Mezirow, 1991). When individuals experience an event that challenges their underlying assumptions and beliefs about the world, they experience unease and will then choose to reject, accept, or question the new point of view (Cranton, 1992; Marrocco, Kazer, & Neal-Boylan, 2014). When faced with a troubling situation or disruptive event, individuals not only engage in self-directed critical reflection but also often reach out and communicate with others as they attempt to internally resolve the issue (Taylor & Cranton, 2013; Yukawa, 2015). Transformational self-directed lifelong learning does not occur simply as a result of having life experiences and resolving cognitive dissonance. In self-directed lifelong learning, the onus is on learners to take personal responsibility and manage themselves through obstacles and challenges encountered on the life journey (Mingsheng, 2016). Learner self-awareness, self-leadership, and self-directedness are used to determine what additional information and resources are necessary. In transformational self-directed lifelong learning, individuals emerge from challenging experiences with new perspectives and strengthened beliefs.
Experiences that challenge beliefs, ideas, and values can create mental stress known as cognitive dissonance (Festinger, 1957). In order for the disorienting situation to prove transformational, people need to learn to overcome tendencies to block opportunities for transformational learning. Cooper (2007) explains, "we do not like inconsistency. It upsets us and it drives us to action to reduce our inconsistency" (p. 2). The drive to reduce inconsistency is a powerful inducement to action. One way people relieve the anxiety of cognitive dissonance is through confirmation bias, which is "the tendency of people to focus on evidence that confirms their existing views and to ignore or discount information that may challenge those views" (Cohen, 2015, p. 79). Lahey (2016) points out these actions somewhat "operate unconsciously from a state of fear and take on different drama-based roles as a result" (p. xiii). She explains, "living out of fear not only keeps us small but creates a dynamic in which we keep others small as well. In other words, we limit our own potential as well as the people around us" (Lahey, 2016, p. xiii). Emerald (2016) refers to this situation as the dreaded drama triangle.
The dreaded drama triangle is enacted through dysfunctional roles that people play in families, groups, and organizations when information crosses their sensitive line (Whetten & Cameron, 1993). Carlopio and Andrewartha (2012) explain the sensitive line "refers to the point at which individuals become defensive or protective when encountering information about themselves that is inconsistent with their self-concept" (p. 65). An idea, issue, situation, or experience that challenges underlying assumptions, expectations, or a particular mindset can raise anxiety and create stress (Clapp-Smith & Wernsing, 2014).
Transformational Learning: Learning that accompanies significant change in perspective, mental models, and frames of reference.
Lifelong Learning: Learning that occurs across the lifespan.
Empowerment Dynamic: The creator, challenger, and coach roles that people play when operating from an empowerment perspective.
Cognitive Dissonance: The experience of having inconsistent thoughts and behavior.
Disorienting Dilemma: A situation where experiences fail to meet expectations.
Dreaded Drama Triangle: The victim, persecutor, and rescuer roles that people play when operating from fear-based motivation.
Winner's Triangle: Being vulnerable, assertive, and caring rather than engaging in the drama triangle roles.


A couple of weeks ago I wrote a piece entitled Snowfall for Prose for Thought. I'd been having trouble with the poem writing and decided just a very short piece of creative writing might get the juices flowing again. Well it worked and since 24th April I've been writing almost daily. Not on the blog I admit but the book is getting edits and other ideas have been spilling onto the page too. It feels so good to be creative again. I try to force myself to write whenever it's time for #Prose4T, sometimes it doesn't work and no matter what I do I can't think. Other times just making myself sit and write sparks so many ideas that I can't keep up, my inner writer is on fire and all I want to do is type. That's how it's been this last couple of weeks. So here's this week's entry for #Prose4T, enjoy.
The first snowfall of the year and he'd sullied it. Scarlet drops continued to fall from the knife in his hand and land on the white blanket. The crunch beneath his feet as he trudged across the yard distracted him from the ringing in his ears. His heart thumped and a white cloud exuded from his nose as he exhaled. He hurried towards the shed, leaving a trail of tainted snow behind him.
As he opened the shed door he glanced at the distant hills, the sun peeked over the horizon radiating an orange glow across the sky. He stepped inside the shed, his boots thudding on the oak floor, and closed the door behind him. A beam of light burst in through a hole in the wall and bounced off the top of his metal-framed chair. He sat on the chair, the knife still in his clenched hand, and stared at the closed door.
The distant whine of sirens didn't register. Images burned into his memory flashed in front of him. He turned the knife in his hand but it slipped landing on the floor with a clunk. In the darkness he focused on it, the liquid hidden by the shadows but he knew what it was. He knew who's it was.
His heart hammered the inside of his chest and every beat reverberated through his body. Blurred vision and a tight chest restricted his thinking. A tear trickled over his cheek and he lifted a hand to wipe it away. A sob escaped his lips. Pressing both hands to his face he screamed into them and began rocking back and forth. Tears flowed, ceaseless. Another flash of the boy and he threw his head back and wailed.
The shed door opened and morning light flooded in, a silhouette stood in the doorway.
He peered at the silhouette and sunlight glinted off silvery buttons on a dark jacket. A hat atop the head had a silver emblem in the centre.
"Sir, this way please." The police-woman said.
He rose and stepped out of the shed. The blanketed yard reflected the morning light and he squinted. His eyes fell on the scarlet trail leading from the house to the shed and he dropped to his knees, sobbing.
With bleary eyes he looked up and she waved at someone. A blanket landed on his shoulders a moment later and paramedics led him across the garden, through the gate and alongside his home.
An ambulance stood, back doors open, in front of his house. They walked him up the steps and opened the gate. Three police cars stood next to the kerb along the street, lights flashing. Neighbours lingered at their gates, watching with intrigue. He felt their eyes on him as he sat in the back of the ambulance. He glanced across the street at his best friend's wife, their eyes locked for a moment and she raised her hand to her mouth. She glanced at his house and then back at him. Her hair flicked up as she spun and ran back into her home. Was she going to call Trevor?
He turned his head, a tall woman stood to his right. Her voice was soft and husky, jet-black bobbed hair framed her face and striking blue eyes studied him. He nodded once.
"Mr Richardson, is this your home?" She asked.
"Detective Inspector Baines." A disembodied voice called.
The woman walked away, disappearing around the side of the ambulance but he could hear the conversation.
Detective Baines came back and stood in front of him.
"Mr Richardson, we'll talk later." she said.
Detective Baines hurried away, stomped towards the house and glanced back as she entered. His stomach flipped and he closed his eyes when she disappeared into the lounge.
Wow. I want to know more!

Scarce vintage black fountain pen signature on a roughly 4x5-inch light green autograph album page, acquired in-person in the 1950s. In good condition, with the writing coming close to the upper edge. Although Estelle Winwood was an established stage and screen performer by her thirties, it was in her seventies that the scrawny, bird-faced character actress really hit her stride. She was unforgettable in little-old-lady parts in films like The Misfits (1961), The Cabinet of Caligari (1962), Dead Ringer (1964), Camelot (1967), The Producers (1968), and Murder by Death (1978) at the age of 95. She also popped up in a classic episode of T.V.'s "The Twilight Zone" entitled "Long Live Walter Jameson" (1960); played Enchantra on "Bewitched" (1966); and had a recurring role as Aunt Hilda on "Batman" (1966-1967).

Student affairs departments are using technology to strengthen relationships between students and their campus.
At a time when student success is typically measured in hard data--grades, learning outcomes, graduation rates--Leslie Dare offers a spoonful of alternative medicine. "A wealth of research shows that students are more successful when they're well connected to their campus," says the director of technology services for Academic & Student Affairs at North Carolina State University. "If that sense of connection is high, they're more likely to be very successful."
This story appears in the May 2013 digital edition of Campus Technology.
Student Affairs--sometimes known as Student Services--is the umbrella department for an array of campus organizations that provide support services to students, including Campus Life, Housing, Student Health and Wellness, Alumni Relations, and Athletics. While these organizations function outside the realm of academics, they nonetheless play a critical role in student success because they help foster the relationship between students and the campus, insists Dare.
As a separate unit from central IT, Dare's department supports the specialized systems and applications endemic to Student Affairs, but also serves as an advocate for using technology to improve the student experience. "We might be techies, but that doesn't mean we're not committed to the mission of our divisions: to support development and success of the whole student on our campus," she says. Her team takes a proactive approach to IT support: "Instead of waiting for an IT support ticket, techs are looking at systems daily, suggesting improvements, or anticipating needs because they know how the department plans to expand its programming."
At Texas A&M University, the connections students form with the university begin at their home away from home--the residence hall. The 53,000-student research university is mining enrollee data to create Living-Learning Communities (LLCs)--dormitory areas made up of students that share a specific interest or academic discipline--as a way to drive student performance. "Research has shown that when students of like disciplines are gathered together in a living-learning community, the outcomes of those students are significantly better," notes David Sweeney, director for the Department of Information Technology in the university's Division of Student Affairs.
The idea for LLCs was born when academic officers approached Residence Life with a "mountain of data to support the need for these communities," says Sweeney. "They asked how IT could help facilitate the project. We identified the process that Residence Life wanted to use, where we would get the data to make it happen, and then wrote an application."
Sweeney's team created an auto-assignment program that combines students' dorm preferences with data from the school's CRM system, such as age, major, college, and the like.
"We ask a number of questions," explains Sweeney. "What year is the student? What floor should they be on? If we can't get them in that dorm, is there another dorm in close proximity where they can live?" Once that data's collected, the application then matches like students together to create a community of learners.
Texas A&M's first LLC was its Engineering Living-Learning Community. Housed at the campus's Mosher Hall, the ELLC is made up of engineering freshmen and aims to boost retention rates by helping first-year students transition to college life.
The institution now has 11 Living-Learning Communities covering a gamut of interests, including business, science, education, liberal arts, and wellness. Each community offers support programs and activities designed to foster peer relationships, drive academic achievement, and prepare students for their future careers.
The connections students form with their campus can be just as meaningful in the online realm, points out NCSU's Dare, who worked with the school's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Center to launch a Facebook page for the organization. "The students and staff said they needed to connect with other GLBT students through social media," she explains, noting that Facebook can be an effective tool for reaching this marginalized student population. "Through Facebook, GLBT students can connect with each other and communicate through a forum where they feel safe and respected."
Although Facebook's tools make building a page easy, Dare worked with the staff and student leaders of the GLBT Center to define their objectives before launch. "Any new social media strategy has to be connected to goals," she asserts. It also needs to comply with campus policy, fit within the school's technical infrastructure, and include analytic tools to measure performance. The page must also identify that it does not reflect the opinions of the university itself. "We make it clear that the content of these pages or networks speak only for the organization and not the vice chancellor," says Dare.
Once these components were in place, the GLBT staff set up the page. GLBT student leaders monitor the page and post fresh content routinely. Dare's department provides advice about social media best practices, and is now working with other departments across the university to assist with account creation and management. In fact, NCSU is preparing to roll out a policy that will require Student Affairs involvement with departmental social media accounts.
Student response to the GLBT Center's Facebook page has been overwhelmingly positive, according to Dare, with more than 2,000 Facebook members "liking" the page. While the page doesn't generate a great deal of discussion, administrators report that students use it to stay updated about campus events hosted by the center.
Dare admits the school is not able to measure whether the Facebook strategy has affected retention. "We're just now starting to see research on the impact of social media on retention of students," she explains, but she's confident that the strategy has achieved its goal of creating a connection between GLBT students and their campus community.
"Through social media, the organization is reaching students who are tentative about reaching out to other students," she says. "They're making real human connections. It's a powerful tool."
Technology is being infused into all areas of the academy, observes David Sweeney, director for the Department of Information Technology in the Division of Student Affairs at Texas A&M University. The changes are occurring not just on the academic side, but also in areas considered the responsibility of Student Affairs--everything from housing and dining services to student health centers.
Even in these outlier organizations, technology has the potential to facilitate learning, foster student-campus relationships, and drive student outcomes. And technologists such as Leslie Dare, director of technology services for Academic & Student Affairs at North Carolina State University, are passionate about their role in supporting student success.
"Promoting the holistic development of our students is a critical contributor to retention and success," wrote Dare in an online discussion on Educause's Student Affairs IT Constituent Group listserv. "It's important for those of us working with technology to help others in student affairs--and in academics!--understand the impact of technology on our students' experience, both inside and outside the classroom."
For this to happen, though, Student Affairs technologists need a seat at the IT strategy table. "Student Affairs organizations have computing needs that are very different from those on the academic side of the house," notes Sweeney. Specialized--and often homegrown--systems manage everything from student conduct and registration to housing and student organizations. Student Affairs IT leaders need to be involved in the discussions around technology strategy and acquisition that will affect the organizations they support. "The number of areas that Student Affairs touches is just huge," he asserts. "It doesn't follow the same kind of pattern that we would see in typical higher ed IT."
Sweeney further notes that Student Affairs technologists can provide a fresh perspective on how students use technology. By bringing these IT specialists into planning discussions, colleges and universities can gain insights into potential challenges and discover new ideas that otherwise may not have been considered.
"Use your [Student Affairs] IT staff to build a better university," Sweeney counsels. "They want to help their schools build systems for the 21st century. They can help implement the technologies needed."


MANCHESTER – Kalli'Ana Botelho just oozes confidence.
"Anything I set my mind to I feel like I can accomplish," the Griswold senior said after winning the CIAC's heptathlon competition for the second straight year on Wednesday. "You need to put your foot on the ground and just take it. I came out here and did what I needed to do."
That poise and belief in one-self is a trait all champion athletes have, an endearing quality that carries over into their everyday life. Botelho is attending Quinnipiac University this fall. She's going to run track and study medicine. She has dreams of becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon.
Four years ago, Griswold girls soccer and track coach Chris Morth saw Botelho on the soccer pitch.
"Her freshman year she played JV soccer but we really didn't know much about her," Morth recalled. "She was fast and she won a couple of events at ECC indoors. When she won the state open in the high jump that indoor season we said, 'Alright, we're going to do something with her.'"
Botelho went on to become one of the most decorated athletes in Griswold track and field history. She won numerous medals in various events while earning all-league, all-state, All-New England and All-American honors.
Morth, being the girls soccer, indoor and outdoor track coach, was in a unique position. He would mentor Botelho in all 12 of her high school seasons.
"There's not a lot of coaches who coach three seasons to begin with, all at the same school, and then to have an athlete that entire time," said Morth, who just finished is 14th year with the Wolverines. "I've had a few of those athletes over the years and some have been very successful, like Brittany Torchia, who was a state champion in the hurdles a couple of years ago. Kalli'Ana has been successful for so long. We say 'Hi' around August 22 and then part ways in the middle of June every year. So it's really nice. You kind of form that really tight bond."
Morth was coaching Botelho right up until the final event of her career, the heptathlon's 800 meter run Wednesday at Manchester High School. Botelho had dropped into second place after surprising, subpar performances in the long jump and javelin toss. She certainly proved her championship mettle during the final lap of her high school career.
"The 800 got a lot more interesting than it needed to be but I felt pretty good because Kalli is built to run that race," Morth said. "She ran a really smart race, a great race and a tough race."
Botelho's time of 2 minutes and 30.27 seconds clinched the heptathlon title.
"I just needed to come out here and run this race like it was supposed to be done," Botelho said.
The week before, Botelho capped her illustrious career with her first win at the New England Championships in Durham, New Hampshire. Botelho bounced back from a runnerup finish in the 300 hurdles (44.4) at the State Open to win the New England title. Her time was 44.19 seconds. Waterford's Sophia Podeszwa was the runnerup in 44.94. It was Podeszwa who, a few weeks earlier, had handed Botelho her first loss ever at the ECC outdoor championships.
For Botelho, revenge was sweet.
"She became a New England champ in an event that she's only been doing for two years," Morth said.
Botelho wasn't interested in the hurdles her first two seasons.
"Everyone hates the hurdles," she said.
But the track and field landscape for girls in Connecticut was about to change forever. Morth recognized this and showed more foresight, perhaps, a little earlier than most of the state's coaching fraternity.
"The whole transgender athlete thing ended up being a blessing in disguise," Morth said.
It's a complicated issue. There are no clear cut rules in place for transgender athletes. But by the time Cromwell freshman and transgender Andraya Yearwood was winning both the 100 and 200 at the Class M meet in 2017, Botelho was finding success in the 100 and 300 meter hurdles.
"Looking at the transgender athletes having so much success in the 100 and 200, we looked at it and said we needed to change what we were doing," Morth said. "We needed to get out of those events. I had wanted Kalli'Ana to be a hurdler for while. She's a great athlete. It was going to be out of her comfort zone but we were going to make it happen."
By the time transgender Terry Miller, who was a member of the Bulkeley boys indoor track team this winter, swept this season's 100 and 200 at the Class M, State Open and New England championship meets, Botelho was on her way to becoming New England's 300 hurdles champion.
"It was just a complete transformation," Morth said. "It's very rare to see someone winning the 100, 200 and high jump events as a freshman and then win state titles in long jump, 100 and 300 hurdles as a senior. I think that's what I'm most proud of. We didn't find just one thing and stick with that for four years. We adapted and moved around. Her goals changed and we adapted to it. And she's had success in all of these things, which leads me to believe that she still had a lot of growth for college, which is a real positive."
The coaches in the ECC can all breathe a sigh of relief now. Botelho is a Quinnnipiac Bobcat.
"Senior year could have not gone any other way," Botelho said. "It was pretty insane to see how far I've come and I grew up not only athletic-wise and academic-wise but I also grew up as a person. I matured and became someone that I never saw myself becoming."
Someday her dreams will come true. And there may not be a more confident person holding that scalpel in an operating room than Kalli'Ana Botelho.

Members of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project are getting ready to join thousands of New Yorkers in the push to end the use of isolated confinement in New York State prisons.
On May 2, members of SRLP and the Campaign for Alternatives to Isolated Confinement (CAIC) will be in Albany meeting with legislators and assemblymembers on why the Humane Alternatives to Long-Term (HALT) Solitary Confinement Act must be passed. SRLP is proud to join our members on the inside and many other organizations to name this practice for what it is: torture that is steeped in racism, sexism, and ableism.
In preparation for next Tuesday's event, SRLP has been working with our membership to ensure that the voices of transgender, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGNCI) people are represented. Many of SRLP's members have been forced to survive the known torturous conditions of isolated confinement in the New York State prison system. This tends to happen for two very disparate reasons. The first is that TGNCI individuals are purportedly placed in Protective Custody (PC) "for their own protection", but the isolation only makes TGNCI people more vulnerable to staff abuse. The other most common reason is that TGNCI individuals stand up for their dignity and safety and, in response, they are brutally punished with disciplinary tickets and time in the Special Housing Units (SHUs).
Ms. Webber discusses how protective custody – which she was in "for her own good" – actually deteriorated her health and well-being.
The second most common reason that we see our TGNCI clients in solitary confinement is due to allegations that they "disobeyed a direct order." In reviewing their case file, we often find that this means a TGNCI client asked a guard to use the right pronoun for them or asked them to stop using racist and homophobic slurs when speaking to them. This action – standing up for your dignity and humanity – can lead you to solitary. Another PAC member, Terrianna Witherspoon, asked us to share her recent experiences in solitary for exactly this reason.
In late March, Ms. Witherspoon was informed that she would be moved to a new housing location. She wrote to us that she had previously been in that unit and it was "a security risk for me…there is nothing but violence and theft in that housing unit." Ms. Witherspoon informed the officers that she had previously lived in that unit and it wasn't safe for her to return there. "I tried explaining to him that the officers need to stop trying to place me in unsafe environment putting my safety and well being on the line." Ms. Witherspoon was given a disciplinary ticket and she received 30 days of solitary confinement for refusing to move to an unsafe housing arrangement.
As Ms. Witherspoon faces her time in solitary, she worries about the effect on her health.
Check out our campaign page to find out more about the ongoing abolitionist work SRLP is involved with. You can also still join CAIC in Albany on May 2 – check out their webpage for information on how to sign up.

Say Anything – I Don't Think It Is (Album Review)
April 7, 2016 Say Anything – I Don't Think It Is (Album Review)
Posted at 15:31h Samantha Ann cryptic rock, CrypticRock, Music reviews, News, Reviews 0 Comments
Back in early 2000, Singer/Songwriter Max Bemis and four friends decided they wanted to form a band. That band became famously known as Say Anything. Self-releasing two EPs as well as a full-length album, Baseball: An Album By Say Anything, within their first two years, the band was off to a rather quick start in getting their name out there among their local Southern California scene and beyond. Flash forward to 2003 and they are signed on with Doghouse Records, and in 2004 made a big impact with …Is A Real Boy. As the band gained support from both fans and critics, internally the success was overshadows sadly by Bemis' bipolar disorder and substance abuse. Thankfully, in 2005 Bermis seeked help and put Say Anything back on track as they signed on with a new label and released In Defense of the Genre in 2007 to an extremely positive response.
Following with a headlining tour, and then pumping their self-titled album in 2009, Say Anything has been an unstoppable force since. While the lineup has altered through the years, Bemis has kept the dream alive, and now, in 2016, the cast of himself, Parker Case (Keyboard, Guitar, Backing Vocals), Reed Murray (Drums), and Garron DuPree (Bass) return with the new album I Don't Think It Is. Their seventh overall studio record, and first since 2014's Hebrews, I Don't Think It Is hit shelves on Friday, February 5th, to an elated fanbase.
Kicking off the album is a song titled "Give a Damn," which starts off with a distorted guitar riff and continues sounding a bit distorted through the whole song, but it reminds one of an old Sex Pistols kind of sound mixed with the unique vocals of Bemis. "17 Coked Up Speeding" brings up the dark days of Bemis' past, with the drug use and abuse. Most of the songs on this album have a quick-paced beat and the vocals somehow slow down the tempo and bring the songs together. "Rum" does slow down the pace, and sounds a bit off beat in the beginning, which is for sure intended, and adds to the songs deep darkness. It is a much simpler song with background music bringing the lyrics to the forefront.
The shortest song on the album follows, called "So Numb." It again brings back the fast-paced, anger-infused beat. "Goshua" adds an interesting R&B kind of beat, reminding one of Jonny Craig's music styling, but keeping it Say Anything-esque with the vocals and bits of screaming. When one moves on to the next song, "Jiminy," they hear it has the sound of old Say Anything. Bemis sings more than in previous songs, and the music reminds one of their old song "Alive with the Glory of Love." "Princess" starts the next half of the album and continues the retro Say Anything slower chords with Bemis' stronger vocals and lyricism.
"The Bret Easton Ellis School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry" is the slowest song on the album and probably has the best Bemis singing vocals throughout the album. The title is funny, but the song is anything but. It has a very serious tone and the darkness sucks one in and can bring out deep emotions in a listener. "#Blessed" has very different vocals than most of the album, which makes the song more Pop-like, but has cool alternating tempos, from fast-paced, to a simple, only drum beat, back to the quick speed. "Wire Mom" follows suit to the rest of the album, but then comes the song that seemed to surprise this listener. The seven minute long "Attaboy" is literally a mix of everything heard throughout the album. It has the fast pace in the beginning, Bemis' vocals, then the pace slows and the female vocals come back, and then it becomes a sort of Spoken Word, filled mostly with profanities but also a deep sadness. The album ends with "Varicose Visage," really sticking with the Spoken Word kind of sound, not really having much musically happening until the last minute, while through most of the song is just the banging of the drum to help Bemis keep his pace in his speech.
I Don't Think It Is, is an interesting album that listeners may not be able to pin-point a specific sound to correlate to a certain genre. With that in mind, Say Anything has always had their own edge and style, thus they continue doing so even through this album. The infusion of different kinds of music, like the hints of R&B and even a bit of Techno, seems new, but it works. At just over forty minutes, the twelve songs are individually compelling as they are a cohesive piece, making I Don't Think It Is a wonderful edition to the Say Anything catalogue. CrypticRock gives I Don't This It Is 4 out of 5 stars.

This was very bright and fresh! I served with some mixed grains and broccoli and squash sauteed with lemon grass and ginger. It kept a couple days in the refrigerator. Thanks!
Amazing flavor! I also added chopped Thai basil and served over rice ramen noodles (prepped with sesame oil, soy sauce and green onions) and spring greens. So, so good. Thank you!
Looks so delicious! Love tuna and soba!
So, tonight as I was prepping the ham for the oven I realized that the recipe time was for a pre-cooked ham and that was not what I had. Doh! Okay, dinner 2.0 as the ham would not be ready until over an hour past dinner time. (Not okay with a one year old.) Tuna salad to the rescue! I had most things on hand except the radishes and serrano pepper, but water chestnuts, sweet pepper and some cayenne did the trick. It was a huge hit. I am planning to serve this as lettuce wraps the next time we entertain. Your site is my go-to for good food, thank you for another awesome dinner!
I made this last night, and it was wonderful! I loved it tossed with soba noodles, and it was a nice alternative to the typical mayonnaise-laden tuna salad recipes. The addition of radishes was fantastic!
I am liking the flavours in this light Asian take on a tuna salad!
Just made this with soba noodles. Followed the recipe exactly, and it was really amazing. I wasn't entirely sure how it would all work, but I figured I liked all the ingredients so it was worth a shot, and I can't believe how good it was!
Has anyone made this with ahi tuna? I bought a small tuna steak and was thinking about searing it and substituting it for the canned stuff. Any suggestions?
I just made this wonderful dish and chose the Soba Noodle version Vs the lettuce. I have to say that it is an excellent dish with the cold soba noodles. I would suggest that the colder the noodles are the better the overall taste of the dish is, especially if the ingredients are mixed first with the noodles then the dish is left in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes so the noodles soak up the flavors. A must have for a picnic. I wish I had that dish for the 4th of July fireworks on the loan. Great photos Elise and a yummy dish for us all.

définition - Bacab
Bacab
Throne support from Palenque showing a young man or ancestor acting as a Bacab (Museum of the Americas, Madrid, Spain).
Bacab is the generic Yucatec name for each of the four pre-Spanish, aged Maya deities of the interior of the earth and its water deposits. The Bacabs have more recent counterparts in the lecherous, drunken old thunder deities of the Gulf Coast regions. The Bacabs are also referred to as 'Pauahtuns'.
1 Yucatec traditions
2 Gulf Coast traditions
3 Earlier representations
Yucatec traditions
The Bacabs "were four brothers whom God placed, when he created the world, at the four points of it, holding up the sky so that it should not fall. [...] They escaped when the world was destroyed by the deluge." [1] Their names were Hobnil, Cantzicnal, Saccimi, and Hosanek. Each ruled one of the directions and the associated Year Bearer day (one of four New Year days). The four brothers were intimately associated with the four Chaacs, or rain deities, and the Pauahtuns, or wind deities, who were equally associated with the four directions. The Maya of Chan Kom referred to the four skybearers as the four Chacs (Redfield and Villa Rojas).
According to Francisco Hernández (quoted by Las Casas and Diego López de Cogolludo), Bacab was the son of the creator god, Itzamna, and of the goddess Ixchebelyax; he had once been humbled, killed, and revived. The Bacabs played an important role in the cosmological upheaval associated with Katun 11 Ahau, when Oxlahuntiku 'Thirteen-god' was humbled by Bolontiku 'Nine-god'. According to the Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel, "then the sky would fall, it would fall down, it would fall down upon the earth, when the four gods, the four Bacabs, were set up, who brought about the destruction of the world."[2]
Since they were Year Bearer patrons, the Bacabs were important in divination ceremonies. They were approached with questions about crops, weather, or the health of bees (Landa), and often invoked in curing rituals (which is the basic reason why the most important early-colonial collection of Yucatec curing texts, the Ritual of the Bacabs, has been named after them).
Gulf Coast traditions
Of the 'Grandfathers' of the Gulf Coast corresponding to the Bacabs, the most powerful one is responsible for opening the rainy season. The four earth-carrying old men are sometimes conceived as drowned ancestors who are serving for one year; then, other drowned men are substituted for them. Together with this comes the concept that the powerful 'Grandfather' only grows old over the course of the year.
Earlier representations
In earlier representations (which are not restricted to the Yucatán), the Bacabs who carry the sky are represented by old men carrying the sky-dragon. They can have the attributes of a conch, a turtle, a snail, a spider web, or a bee 'armour'. In the rain almanacs of the Post-Classic Dresden Codex, the old man with the conch and the turtle is put on a par with Chaac. This old man corresponds to god N in the Schellhas-Zimmermann-Taube classification, a god of thunder, mountains, and the interior of the earth.
In Classic Maya iconography, the Bacab occurs in various stereotypical situations:
Fourfold, the Bacabs are repeatedly shown carrying the slab of a throne or the roof of a building. In this, young, princely impersonators can substitute for them (see fig.), a fact suggestive of the Gulf Coast traditions about drowned ancestors mentioned above. On a damaged relief panel from Pomona, four of these young Bacab impersonators appear to have held the four Classic Year Bearer days in their hands.[3]
A Bacab inhabiting the Earth Turtle is part of the scenes with the resurrection of the Maya maize god.
Still unexplained is a recurring scene in which the Bacab, half-hidden in his conch, is held by his wrist, about to be sacrificed with a knife.
The Bacab has a peculiar netted element as a distinguishing attribute serving as a headdress, which might conceivably belong to the sphere of the hunt or of beekeeping. It recurs as a superfix in his hieroglyphical names; its reading is uncertain. Hieroglyphically, one finds conflations of Itzamna (god D) and Bacab (god N), recalling the mythological filiation of the Bacab mentioned above.

What Are ''gap Payments'' ?
In Murphy v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (City of Philadelphia), 871 A.2d 312 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2005), the Director of Provider Relations for CompServices testified that when "an employee has a work-related injury and is not on Injury on Duty (IOD) status or sick leave, the City makes workers' compensation payments, which it calls 'gap payments.' He explained that gap payments are 'payments paid to the individual while they are being processed by the Board of Pensions and Retirement for their service-connected disability pensions.' CompServices continues to make those payments until it receives written notice that service-connected disability benefits have been awarded. Those benefits are always awarded to a retroactive date. Because both the workers' compensation gap payments and the pension benefits are for injuries occurring on duty, CompServices deducts the workers' compensation payment from the pension award. He explained that 'literally the City has just taken money out of one side of its pockets and put it into the other side of its pockets.'" Id. at 316-17. The court deemed this testimony sufficient to support the finding that claimant's pension benefits, paid to her because her injury was work-related, were paid in lieu of workers' compensation and, therefore, ruled that a pension offset is proper.

Billionaire break-ups are seemingly becoming a trend in recent years, with Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott divorcing in 2019 and Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates following in their footsteps in 2021.
While their ex-hubbies continue their race to become the world's richest person, MacKenzie Scott and Melinda French Gates devote their time to giving away billions of dollars.
Let's take a closer look at how these equally powerful and wealthy women are stepping up to support individuals and organisations in need – and the ex-wives that went before them.

1. MacKenzie Scott
American novelist and billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott parted ways with Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos in 2019 after 25 years of marriage. After their divorce, she received a 4 per cent stake in Amazon, which was then valued at US$35 billion. Since then, Scott has already unloaded more than US$8.5 billion to hundreds of organisations focused on gender equality, racial justice, public health and other causes, per CNN.

Scott continues to make waves for her enormous and fast-paced donations in 2022, staying true to her widely quoted promise to hand out her fortune "until the safe is empty". According to The Washington Post, the Princeton graduate donated a whopping US$133.5 million to the educational non-profit Communities in School this month.

2. Melinda French Gates
The latest to join this high-profile divorcee list, Melinda French Gates was hitched to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates from 1994 to 2021. The former computer scientist and general manager at Microsoft recently made headlines for deciding not to give the bulk of her US$11.4 billion fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Through her investment company Pivotal Ventures, French Gates actually joined forces with Scott in 2021 to bestow US$40 million to four organizations that promote gender equality, according to CNBC.
3. Elaine Wynn
Hailed as the "Queen of Las Vegas," Elaine Wynn is the ex-wife of Steve Wynn and co-founder of the casino conglomerates, Wynn Resorts and Mirage Resorts. When the couple divorced – for the second time around – in 2010, she reportedly walked away with cash and company shares worth nearly US$1 billion.

For the last 20 years, this billionaire businesswoman has rallied for education and the arts. She pledged a US$50 million donation to create a new permanent collection space as co-chair of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and gave away US$25 million to build additional dance studios and classrooms in the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre in New York, Town & Country reported.

4. Sue Ann Arnall
Just like Scott and French Gates, Sue Ann Arnall is also a member of the Giving Pledge. Her 26-year-old marriage to oil baron and Continental Resources chairman Harold Hamm ended in 2015, with a handwritten cheque of nearly US$1 billion.
Arnall donated a whopping US$85 million through her Arnall Family Foundation in 2021 for child welfare and criminal justice reform, The Oklahoman reported.

"Money does not buy happiness, but it can buy freedom – freedom from worry about your, or your child's, well-being or next meal; or freedom from worry about simply surviving another day. So, I take this privilege of wealth with a great deal of gratitude and humility, and will attempt to use it to buy freedom from those shackled by poverty, neglect or the cruel fate of circumstance," she wrote in her Giving Pledge letter.

Is NASA set to announce discovery of Martian fossils by Curiosity Rover?
Dr Michael Salla / November 24, 2012

NASA is about to make a big announcement from its Curiosity Rover Mars mission according to John Grotzinger, its principal investigator. Will it be a giant leap forward in the search for life on Mars? Speculation began soon after Grotzinger gave an interview on NPR public radio on November 20 where he said: "This data is gonna be one for the history books. It's looking really good." In the NPR interview, Grotzinger said it would be several weeks before his team would announce their finding. A clue as to what was discovered is that the data comes from Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument – basically an onboard chemistry lab that is capable of identifying organic compounds – the carbon-containing building blocks of life as we know it. While organic compounds do not necessarily mean that life exists/existed on Mars, they are a vital ingredient in the formation of life. NASA's big upcoming announcement is most likely to be that it has discovered organic compounds on Mars – possibly, the fossilized remains of ancient Martian microbes.
NASA has been here before. In August 1996, David McKay and a team of NASA scientists published their analysis of a Martian meteorite discovered in Antarctica. The meteorite was found to have carbon compounds that looked very much like fossil remains of ancient Martian microbes. Here is how Mackay explained their findings:
The carbonate globules are similar in texture and size to some terrestrial bacterially induced carbonate precipitates. Although inorganic formation is possible, formation of the globules by biogenic processes could explain many of the observed features, including the PAHs [polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons]. The PAHs, the carbonate globules, and their associated secondary mineral phases and textures could thus be fossil remains of a past martian biota.
The announcement was big news at the time, and led to President Clinton making a statement:
It is well worth contemplating how we reached this moment of discovery. More than 4 billion years ago this piece of rock was formed as a part of the original crust of Mars. After billions of years it broke from the surface and began a 16 million year journey through space that would end here on Earth. It arrived in a meteor shower 13,000 years ago. And in 1984 an American scientist on an annual U.S. government mission to search for meteors on Antarctica picked it up and took it to be studied. Appropriately, it was the first rock to be picked up that year — rock number 84001. Today, rock 84001 speaks to us across all those billions of years and millions of miles. It speaks of the possibility of life. If this discovery is confirmed, it will surely be one of the most stunning insights into our universe that science has ever uncovered. Its implications are as far-reaching and awe-inspiring as can be imagined. Even as it promises answers to some of our oldest questions, it poses still others even more fundamental.
The 1996 discovery then got bogged down in scientific debate over whether or not the meteorite was polluted by Earth microbes. Critics claimed NASA scientists had not sufficiently accounted for this possibility. Not so according to a new 2009 study by NASA scientists, including McKay, from the Johnson Space Center that upheld the earlier findings and concluded: "None of the original features supporting our hypothesis for ALH84001 has either been discredited or has been positively ascribed to non-biologic explanations."
The continuing debate over the 1996 Mars meteorite has led to Grotzinger and his team taking a cautious approach to announcing the results of their analysis of the data sent back by Curiosity's SAM instrument. If, as Grotnzinger suggests, the results are upheld, we will soon hear that organic compounds have been found on Mars. More importantly, they might be the fossil remnants of ancient microbiological life. You can then expect President Obama following in the footsteps of President Clinton, and make his own public announcement concerning the implications of ancient life on Mars.

Trump Claims Impeachment Push Causes 'Tremendous Anger', Rejects Responsibility for Capitol Unrest

Earlier media reports suggested that the FBI expects armed protests in the vicinity of state capitols across the US if President Donald Trump is impeached or otherwise removed from office before his term concludes.
US President Donald Trump has condemned the move to impeach him as "absolutely ridiculous" and a "continuation of the greatest witch hunt" in the history of US politics. The president argued that the attempts to remove him from office are causing "tremendous anger". When asked by reporters if he would resign, POTUS declined to answer.
Trump added that he wants "no violence" on US streets and stated that he bears no responsibility for the angry protesters storming the Capitol building on 6 January. He suggested that his remarks had been analysed and that "people thought" what he said at the rally preceding the incident was "totally appropriate". POTUS did not specify who the "people" he was referring to were.

A photo illustration shows the suspended Twitter account of U.S. President Donald Trump on a smartphone at the White House briefing room in Washington, U.S., January 8, 2021.
The president went on to castigate the actions of "Big Tech", namely for suspending or banning his social media accounts and trying to mute the Parler platform, which is popular with American conservatives. POTUS called the actions of the tech giants a "catastrophic mistake" that divides the country and stressed that he had warned that these companies could engage in such behaviour.
Donald Trump Under Pressure to Resign in Wake of Capitol Hill Violence
The US president has been facing calls to resign coming from Democrats, as well as from some fellow Republicans, after an angry mob of pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol on 6 January and clashed with Capitol Police, resulting in five fatalities. The protesters rushed to prevent the Congress' certification of the election results following the president's speech at a rally on the same day, where he reiterated his claims of election fraud taking place in November.
The Democrats claim that POTUS had incited an "insurrection" attempt with his remarks and demand that Vice President Mike Pence invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power over his alleged "inability" to perform his duties. The party's congressional leaders called the president's actions a "threat" to the Constitution and to US "democracy". House Democrats formally introduced the impeachment article over alleged "inciting of insurrection" and threatened to put it up for a vote on 13 January if Pence does not invoke the 25th Amendment.
Vice President Mike Pence presides over a Joint session of Congress to certify the 2020 Electoral College results after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol earlier in the day, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S. January 6, 2021.
Trump has repeatedly denied being the cause of the 6 January violence. Soon after the protesters rushed into the Capitol, he issued an appeal on Twitter calling on people to act peacefully and respect the law. POTUS condemned the actions of the aggressive mob, promising that all those responsible would be punished.

Despite this and the deletion of several posts that Twitter had marked as inappropriate, several social media platforms claimed that they would not allow the president to incite violence via their services any more. Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and Discord either banned or suspended POTUS from their platforms, while Google, Apple, and Amazon deplatformed Parler – a social media service popular among conservatives, including Trump supporters.
