NEC's TurboGrafx-16 is the latest classic console to get miniaturized
Photo by: Konami
Kanye's favorite console is back from the dead.
NEC's TurboGrafx-16 – the classic 16-bit video game console also known as the PC Engine – is getting a retro miniature remake thanks to Konami.
Konami's mini version of the console, released in Japan in 1987, comes loaded with a selection of classic games, six of which have been announced so far: R-Type, New Adventure Island, Ninja Spirit, Ys Book I & II, Dungeon Explorer and Alien Crush. No release date has been announced as yet.
NEC's TurboGrafx-16 was a competitor to the Nintendo's NES and SNES consoles in the '80s and '90s, as well as the Sega Genesis. It was most successful in Japan where it was known as the PC Engine, and released only in limited quantities in Europe after it flopped in the US.
To reflect the multiple versions of the console out in the wild, US markets will get the TurboGrafx-16 Mini, with Japan and Europe getting their own regional variations: the PC Engine Mini and PC Engine CoreGrafx Mini. Japan's version has a different game lineup, including Castlvania: Rondo of Blood, China Warrior and Bonk's Adventure.
Back in 2016, Kanye West said that he was working on an album named after the TurboGrafx-16, which, like so many of the projects Kanye West announces, is yet to see the light of day.

AMA President Associate Professor Brian Owler has lambasted a senior Abbott Government Minister for lending credibility to claims of a link between abortion and breast cancer.
A/Professor Owler said Employment Minister Eric Abetz had been insensitive and "quite irresponsible" in encouraging the mistaken view that having an abortion was connected with the development of breast cancer during a television interview.
A/Professor Owler made his condemnation after Senator Abetz, interviewed on Channel Ten program The Project, appeared to lend credence to the views of a controversial US surgeon, Dr Angela Lanfranchi, who argues abortion is linked to breast cancer.
When asked what he thought of Dr Lanfrnachi's theories, Senator Abetz replied that "I think the studies, and I think they date back from the 1950s, assert that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer".
The issue arose after it was revealed that Senator Abetz was due to host a lunch for Dr Lanfranchi and other people visiting Australia to attend a World Congress of Families conference on 30 August.
But Senator Abetz insisted that his views had been misrepresented.
In a statement, he said he had "studiously avoided" drawing any link between abortion and breast cancer during his interview.
But A/Professor Owler said he was "very concerned" that senior members of the Government were associating themselves with the Families conference.
"To have senior members of the Government associating themselves with this particular conference, but particularly pushing some of the discredited theories about linking abortion with breast cancer, the use of the oral contraceptive pill with things like domestic violence, that is very unhelpful, and I think quite an irresponsible position and action for those people in the Government to take," he said.
The AMA President said he had raised his concerns directly with Health Minister Peter Dutton, and had been assured that the views expressed by Senator Abetz were not those of the Government.
Mr Dutton said he did not believe there was a link between abortion and breast cancer.
A/Professor Owler said that while members of the Government were entitled to their views on abortion, they had a responsibility not to mislead the community.
"To try and use some sort of link between those topics and a medical condition I think is quite irresponsible for the member of the Government to be doing, and certainly unhelpful for people out there in the community that look towards leaders, including our politicians, to get the right sort of information and credible information," he said.

Known as the MADE, this museum is considered an upcoming attraction since its still seeking a home. What we do know is that it'll be based in San Francisco and unlike museums of yore that display paintings and sculptures, MADE devotes itself to videogames and digital works of art, such as programmatic visual and audio demonstrations.
In other words, it's a museum of the new millennium. It aims to start as a small venue that will produce traveling exhibits, hold social events and display an ever-changing collection of antique and relevant artifacts. The goal in the future: to grow into a world-class art museum.

When choosing your clothes, equally important is to look at a past event. It can be a waste, choose a dress, you can wear again. A good dress will give you a chance to wear it again and again, is still uncomfortable, so choose the style and color of caution, in order to make this possible. Here is style tips that can help you choose the best and most suitable clothes for you.
If you are apple-shaped, you have more weight around the stomach, so you need to choose a dress, holding a little more in the area. No over-done details of a simple, elegant dress will be great to work with this shape.
To hide the belly, you can go to a small detail or around the chest area and a ruched dress shows your beautiful legs. This type of dress will take attention away from your most conscious about the area. You can also throw in a band around the tummy to cover it and create a beautiful figure.
If your body is straight down and straight, you better wear a high collar skirt. You can also add a necklace to make a statement, big earrings add detail above. This will also increase the volume of the chest area, you will show what you have, this is a beautiful legs. Strapless dresses also work very well in this body type, because it creates a contour waist and hips.
For around the shoulders of a wider body, choose a dress, to offset the eventual establishment of the shoulders or a little more volume around the hips. Dress with a V neckline and bottom tulips will balance the body. You will feel and look more proportion, the buttocks shoulders a little balance in order to select the dress, let you this perfect look.
Pear-shaped body is not too difficult to dress, so you will have a variety of options to play with until you find one that feels very right for you. Skirt cut under the bust should do you justice. Empire line dress is the most appropriate, but if you have a bottom is bigger, you can choose a dress to cover up the buttocks. You can add a little loose shoulders or fashion cashmere cardigan to do this.
In the hourglass figure is considered to be perfect, and all you need to do is exaggerate the waist to the chest and buttocks balance out very well.

Painting and science have been closely associated historically, because both used to involve close, intense examination of their subject, generalization based on experience, and imaginative consideration of the possibilities. That has changed but not because of any intrinsic change in knowledge.
Knowledge always changes through time, but vested interests try to permit only those changes that are good for them. Authoritarian education derives its authority from political and economic power, and generally not from the quality of the knowledge it inculcates. As education became more important economically in the twentieth century, it became more specialized, in the sense that each teacher devoted his full time to an increasingly narrow topic. In this state, the specialist loses his authority when he ventures to evaluate the big picture.
In the 19th century, biologists were usually competent painters, but as specialization took over at the beginning of the 20th century, both science and painting became "abstract." Mathematics came to be called the language of science, and a science was considered to be more scientific when it was more mathematical. The mathematical habit of mind inclines biologists to see organisms as disembodied information, ultimately as the information contained in the genetic code. Change (they are likely to say) is random, "chaotic," ultimately unknowable. There is no place in this system for a radical critic of the purpose and direction of the system.
If physicists and biologists learn to see the world in a lively way by exercising the power to paint, they will learn to prevent the atrophy of their critical powers.

BBC pays Chris Evans over £2m a year... and Gary Lineker does all right too
Iain Lynn
Published: 12:51 Wednesday 19 July 2017
The BBC has revealed its top talent pay – with DJ Chris Evans topping the list pocketing over £2m.
Only one third of the list of talent earning over £150,000 are women, with the top names being men. Details of stars' pay was revealed in £50,000 bands.
And there could be embarrassment for the presenters of flagship Radio 4 programme, Today.
John Humphrys earns between £600,000 and £649,000, for the morning news programme and other work, including presenting Mastermind.
Nick Robinson is on £250,000 to £299,000, ahead of female presenter Mishal Husain (£200,000 to £249,000), who also presents TV news for the corporation, but their colleague Sarah Montague does not make the £150,000 pay bracket.
The list reveals that newsreader and Antiques Roadshow presenter Fiona Bruce earns between £350,000 and £399,000 but fellow news host Huw Edwards is on £550,000 to £599,999.
The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg is on £200,000 to £249,000, below news presenter George Alagiah (£250,000-£299,000) and Radio 4's PM host Eddie Mair (£300,000 - £349,000).
News host Sophie Raworth is on £150,000 to £199,000.
BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty is in the £150,000 to £199,999 bracket, and her colleague on the show Dan Walker, who also works on Football Focus and fronted slots from the Rio Olympics, took home between £200,000 and £249,000.
Their fellow BBC Breakfast presenters Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt do not make the £150,000 bracket.
In sport, Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker is paid in the £1,750,000 to £1,799,999 bracket. He had earlier revealed that he had turned down higher pay offers from commercial broadcasters.
Writing on Twitter, the former England striker said he had stuck with the Beeb 'Because I love and value my job and BBC sport.'
But Wimbledon's Sue Barker earns between £300,000 and £349,999, behind Alan Shearer (£400,000 and £449,999).
Two people arrested in Accrington murder investigation after 33-year-old man fatally stabbed
Clare Balding is paid between £150,000 to £199,999, putting her in the same list as Jonathan Agnew, Jonathan Davies and John McEnroe.
Presenters John Inverdale and Gabby Logan are on between £200,000 and £249,000.
Radio 2 Breakfast DJ and former Top Gear host Evans earns between £2.2 million and £2,249,999.
Graham Norton is listed as between £850,000 and £899,999 - but as the list only includes cash from licence fee payers, that does not include his chat show, for which the BBC pays an independent production company, which in turn pays his salary.
Strictly Come Dancing host and Radio 2 DJ Claudia Winkleman earns between £450,000 and £499,000.
Strictly judge Darcey Bussell earns between £150,000 and £199,999, putting her in the same band as Craig Revel Horwood.
But Bruno Toniolo, who also worked on Eurovision: You Decide, and former head judge Len Goodman earn more at £200,000 to £249,999.
Stars of Casualty and EastEnders dominate the highest earning list of actors.
Long-running Casualty star Derek Thompson, who plays Charlie Fairhead in the popular medical drama, earns between £350,000 and £399,000.
His co-star Amanda Mealing, who plays Connie Beauchamp in Casualty and Holby City, is on £250,000 to £299,999.
Adam Woodyatt, Albert Square's Ian Beale, is one of the top paying EastEnders actors at £200,000 to £249,000, along with newer recruit Danny Dyer (Mick Carter).
June Brown - EastEnders' Dot Cotton - is not on the list.
Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi was paid between £200,000 to £249,0000.
Top Gear's Matt LeBlanc is not on the list but it has not been disclosed whether he is paid £150,000 or more but from BBC Worldwide.
Names like Mary Berry are not on the list because she would have been paid by an independent production company, which the BBC paid.
The figures are for the money stars received from the licence fee from the financial year April 2016 to April 2017.

Ian Boyne | Independence not song and dance
Published:Friday | August 4, 2017 | 12:00 AM
Jamaicans will today flock to the Grand Gala at the National Stadium. There has been quite a hustle for tickets. We love song and dance. But don't mistake our passion for celebration with enduring national pride.
Our Emancipendence celebration is more style than substance. Nothing shows up our lack of national purpose more than anniversaries like Emancipation, Independence and National Heroes Day. These anniversaries are out of sync with our day-to-day culture - our values and mores. On these occasions when national leaders recall people like Nanny, Sam Sharpe, Paul Bogle, George William Gordon, Marcus Garvey, Bustamante and Manley, the heroes' spirit of self-sacrifice, patriotism and devotion to a cause outside themselves just don't resonate with our lives.
The language of sacrifice, struggle, and nation above self is so foreign, so archaic. So yesteryear. The leaders make these speeches because they have to, but they should know they mean very little, for Jamaicans can't identify with the values being espoused in these messages. Who is thinking about country today? Who is willing to put his personal interests behind national interest? Who is talking about 'building a new Jamaica'?
Individuals are busy chasing their own dreams and only think about Jamaica in terms of what Jamaica can do for them.
Professor Don Robotham is even more on point today than when he uttered these words 20 years ago in that pivotal GraceKennedy Foundation lecture titled 'Vision and Voluntarism': "There is no common vision which strongly unites a wide cross section of the people of what it means to be a Jamaican. Therefore, there is almost no sense of what are our mutual obligations to one another ... . There is no longer any clear vision of what Jamaica is or should be. There is no rationale behind the term 'Jamaican' that expresses any sense of common purpose. That is our fundamental problem."
There must be something fundamentally wrong with this society when a national poll found, as reported in The Gleaner on Thursday, that the convicted criminal Vybz Kartel is among the list of people who featured as possible candidates for national hero getting the same percentage as Portia Simpson Miller, Andrew Holness, Edward Seaga, and Louise Bennett-Coverley! We need no greater indication of our sickness as a nation.
Prominent dancehall apologist Dr Donna Hope, in an interview with The Gleaner commenting on the poll showing that the majority of Jamaicans don't think there is anyone else who deserves national hero status, agrees, saying that while people like Bob Marley and Usain Bolt are, indeed, icons and legends, they don't exemplify that self-sacrifice for nation that would qualify them as national heroes.
As Dr Hope puts it, "We shouldn't be saying, 'Oh, this person did well in music or sports so make him a national hero.' I mean they are working for a living, but just because they do well in their career doesn't mean we should turn them into national heroes." Well said. She added :"A national hero is someone who selflessly really gives of himself or herself in the project of building this nation that we are a part of."
Frequently in elections, we hear pleas from various factions urging constituents not to be bought or to "tek dem money and vote dem out". That emerged again in last weekend's election in St Andrew South West. Both sides accused each other of buying votes. In fact, a major point that was being made was that the poor and largely unemployed people of that constituency had to be careful to choose a candidate who could pull in big money so things can be 'nice' with constituents. If your candidate can't get 3,000 Easter buns, dem nah seh nutten. The winnable candidate haffi have friends in high society.
Our democracy is imperilled when we are so licky-licky. There was a time when people joined political parties because of what they wanted to give. They saw those parties as vehicles to channel their nationalistic and patriotic ideals. Not anymore. People are active in political parties for political spoils and scarce benefits. The political parties can no longer depend on a hard-core cadre of loyal, dedicated, hard-working people to put party above self. No, the parties have to pull in enough cash to buy people's loyalty.
How do you build a nation like that? In the 1950s, '60s and '70s, our young people were idealistic, fired up with zeal for building a truly independent and strong Jamaica. There was a wave of patriotic fervour and an upsurge in voluntarism. Young people were interested in ideas. They were talking about Black Power, Rastafari, African liberation, cultural identity, socialism, nationalism, building an independent economy. Today, young people are talking about their high-end mobile phones, busily exchanging social-media trivia; lost in their world of illusion and mass distraction fed by American cultural dominance.
Our young people's values are determined by American pop culture. Our young people know more about what is going on in American pop culture than about what is going on in Jamaica. They only reside here, but their hearts are lodged overseas. Foreign minds, with stomachs filled with American fast foods and spirit fed by Hollywood.
In her poignant song, Times Like These, Queen Ifrica laments:
"It's times like these
I'm missing our heroes
Times like these I really wish they were around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Marcus Garvey ... Bob Marley. Sam Sharpe ... Nanny ... Miss Lou
They took away the voices that gave the people pride
Now we're plunging into darkness."
In times like these, we have a dancehall artiste like Ishawna dissing cultural icon Miss Lou, flaunting her cultural backwardness and ignorance. Happily, she was roundly slammed for it. It was refreshing for me to see the heavy outcry that accompanied her dissing of our Cultural Great. That was redeeming for a cynic like me. It was also good to see Ishawna sternly rebuked at Sumfest.
Our indigenous music, dancehall, which should be championing our cause for Independence and cultural liberation, is largely serving the interest of Babylon, turning our women into whores and offering up our young men as sacrifices to a life of nihilistic violence. The people ruling the dancehall today are projecting the worst in us.
Fortunately, we have an Ifrica as a cultural warrior standing up for our Independence and chanting down our Babylonian cultural captivity. What a strong performance she gave at Sumfest, belting out her powerful lyrics in Black Woman, blowing the whistle on those empty-headed and brainwashed female deejays who are selling out our women under the guise of sexual liberation.
In her powerful lyrics, Ifrica says:
"It seem like black woman nuh love themself no more
She seh she nuh mind being called a whore
No, black woman, hold up yu head, black woman
A sell dem sell you out, black woman
Nuh mek dem tek you fi nuh piece a meat
Look how you sweet!"
Our dancehall should be used to promote independence, not dependence. It should be used to uplift our people, rather than incite them to whoredom and criminality.
Our Independence Project has been derailed by our own corrupt politicians who have created garrisons, divided the people and who have promoted cronyism and clientelism. They have been aided by American cultural imperialism, which has thoroughly captured the minds of our people and seduced them with bling and the weapons of mass distraction unleashed by capitalist society. While we are turned on by the song and dance of independence, we are owned by foreigners and our minds have been recolonised.
Don Robotham was again dead right: "Nobody knows what Jamaica stands for any more or what this term 'Jamaica' could possibly mean." I wish I could genuinely wish you happy independence. But I can at least say, enjoy the song and dance at the Grand Gala to this evening. At least we still have that nostalgia of our rich artistic culture to savour, before we are completely overridden by American culture, made more dominant now through social media.

EP Review: Knocked Loose – 'Mistakes Like Fractures'
Sunday, April 21, 2019 at 2:38 AM (PST) by Shane Dover
Knocked Loose, the Kentucky based hardcore outfit, come screaming out the gates once more with a new 3 track EP; Mistakes Like Fractures. Heavy, dark, and embodying all the best of beatdown hardcore, these 8 and a half minutes are well worth your time.
The title track, which opens this short 3 song package, is this dark powerhouse of a hardcore track. From the chorus screaming out "Mistakes like fractures," to an ominous breakdown in "I followed the rabbit, I found my fucking ending," the track is put together so well. Transitioning from this track into the next, 'Slings and Arrows,' their sound attacks from all sides. In the modern era of hardcore, it can seem difficult for a band to find a sound both unique and yet still very much rooted in the genre, but Knocked Loose emanate this angry, loud, and emotional presence that really does stand out.
Ending off this short piece is what I'd consider the shiniest of the 3 diamonds gathered here. 'All My Friends' is a fun track to listen to, but doesn't let go of that darkness, and the breakdown could be one of the best I've heard in quite a while. Evoking thoughts of Code Orange with the alarm-like shrill guitar breaking in at times, this track especially is sign of great things to come for one of the premiere modern hardcore bands. Knocked Loose kick some teeth in with this EP, and I can't wait to see what the next album has in store for us.
Mistakes Like Fractures was released on April 4th, via Pure Noise Records. You can check out the EP below.

Olwen had celebrated her victory over Meadowvale. She had moved triumphantly through the corridors of Meadow Hall. Commented on the Elven art and architecture, ordered the tearing down of the Dragon Temple, and had made it clear to everyone that she enjoyed every moment of owning it for herself.
But now, as they stood in the empty long hall of the Elves, the green throne empty, and the tapestries torn down awaiting replacements, Olwen paced. "I want that Elf bitch to bend her knee."
Andra's soldiers had been searching through the bodies for any sign of the Queen. She had squadrons scouring every hole in Meadow Hall and had even sent out the Sycorax to patrol the surrounding farmland. But so far they had found nothing.
"We are doing all we can," she felt like the phrase had embedded itself on her lips, so often had she repeated in over the last day.
"Bring me one of her advisors." Olwen snapped. The gold tinge in her eyes was fading. It would soon be time for her to feed.
Andra nodded.
She was quick to find a messenger, the young soldier nodded at his orders and scuttled away quickly. Andra turned to re-enter the Elven Hall but hesitated. Her hand held above the wood, ready to push open the door and return to her love.
But she decided to wait.
While Olwen was in this mood she was difficult to predict. Andra didn't know how many more times she could repeat that her soldiers were doing all they could before Olwen snapped. She couldn't keep returning to her empty-handed.
She waited.
Excruciatingly long minutes passed. She hoped Olwen didn't decide to storm out of the hall, find her there, and demand to know why she was hiding in the corridor.
It was a cold relief when two of her soldiers arrived. An Elf was slung between them, white-robed and long-haired. The Auburn hair was fading to match his robes and the lines on his face were deep. She imagined they had grown deeper over the last few hours.
She opened the doors and the four of them marched through.
There was no chair in which the old man could sit, instead, he was thrown to his knees, and Andra though he had neither the strength nor the courage to stand again.
"Mistress." His old voice croaked as he bowed low to the ground, "I am honoured to serve."
Andra resisted an instinct to laugh at his pathetic attempt to endear himself to the Mistress and was surprised when Olwen nodded at the compliment.
"Good man," Olwen replied, her voice silky smooth like the contented nickering of a horse, "if you continue in this manner I may allow you to administer the new religion."
Andra noticed his brows raise, and the slightest flicker of discontent flutter across his lips. But he was quick to bow once more.
"Thank you, Mistress, Thank you."
The Elves were weak, Andra could see now that their border had always been strong but now that had been smashed through they discovered not the war machine of a great race, but the soft underbelly of a bloated hog. These Elves had never before known hardship. But they likely would know it now.
"All I require in return," Olwen continued, "Is loyalty. Do you think you can provide that, Elf?"
"I can Mistress, please, call me Ferox," he looked up at them with a smile, but quickly bowed once more, "If my Mistress wishes to, of course."
"Well, Ferox," Olwen continued with a smile at her lips, "I would like you to do something for me that would prove your loyalty. Do you understand?"
"I do Mistress, thank you, anything I can do for you would be an honour." Ferox almost looked up to them but managed to keep his head bowed low.
"Lead my soldiers to the Queen."
He did look up then. He looked to Andra and stammered. "I-I-I… the Queen?"
"She is hiding, Ferox. Like some rat in a hole, and I need you to tell me where that rat's lair might be hidden."
His eyes were wide and it occurred to Andra then that he was not aware that that the Queen was still alive.
"If-If she did not fall, and she was not here… then," his eyes darted from side to side as he searched his mind, "Vingeld!" he announced triumphantly, "If she has fallen back, then she would have fallen back to the harbour and taken a ship to-"
"She has not," Andra interrupted, that had been her first line of investigation, but there had been no sign of an escape through the harbour and no ship could be seen departing.
"Oh dear, Ferox," Olwen said in mock sympathy, "You seem to be lying to us Ferox."
"I do not, Mistress, I do not lie!"
Olwen's brow furrowed and there was a flash of gold in her eyes. Andra could see the magic trickling across her skin as her patience ran thin.
"Tell me, Elf!" There was a flash of magic, and Ferox squealed. It lasted only a second but the old man had to pull himself from the ground, his breathing rattled in his chest.
"Mistress, please-"
The magic flashed again. Longer this time. He could not pull himself from the floor, his face was slick with sweat, he barely had the strength to breathe.
"This is your last chance to live, Elf. Tell me; Where is your Queen?"
"Please, I beg of you! She must be dead, she must be still amongst the bodies… she could not be anywhere else,… the bodyguard, the royal bodyguard did not leave… she must be alone. If she lives, then she is utterly alone."
But Olwen wasn't convinced. She snarled in rage and the Elf's body contorted on the ground, then lifted into the air, the golden essence just a weak shimmer, left his body and in an instant was gone.
His body tumbled to the floor. Andra's soldiers stood stone-faced but Olwen paid them no heed. Her eyes shone with a brighter gold than before and she turned to Andra rage upon her lips.
"Where is that gilded witch?" she demanded.
Andra glanced at the corpse, she didn't know how many more would fall before they found Queen Evaline but she doubted that any of them could give Olwen the answers she was so desperately seeking.
"She is running scared." Andra dismissed the guards, and they scooped up the body, hurrying from the room.
Andra reached out to Olwen. There was a crackling of magic surrounding her that prickled Andra's skin as she drew closer. Olwen stood rigidly facing away, but at the softness of her touch, Andra was permitted to come closer until she held the Mistress in her arms.
Andra pressed her face against Olwen's shoulder taking in the scent. She still smelled of Olwen, still felt like Olwen. She was still the woman she loved. But she was buried beneath fear and power. Olwen needed Andra, she needed Andra to hold her in place.
"She is hiding in a hole," Andra continued, "You are here in her throne room. You are the one who has control over the Elven kingdom. She doesn't even have her royal guard. She is alone, helpless." Andra squeezed her closer, and whispered softly, "Soon you will have all the edge islands in your grasp."
Olwen reached out for her hand turning to look into Andra's eyes. There was none of the familiar bright blue that Andra had come to love, there was only the bright gold of the Essence that had taken the woman she loved so deeply into her grasp.
"You have done this," Olwen said.
Andra was taken aback, and a denial she daren't speak came quickly to her lips.
"You are the one who commanded the army, came up with the strategy, stormed Meadow Hall and took it within just a few hours. You are the reason I am standing here." Olwen wrapped her arms around Andra, and suddenly she was once again the frail mage hiding in the woods all over again. Andra pulled her close, enjoying her rare moment with real Olwen. The Mistress of Dragon March, for now at least, was gone. "Without you I am nothing."
Andra breathed in her scent deeply, enjoying the moment. She was loyal to Olwen. She would always be loyal to Olwen, no matter the cost. And one day they would rule the whole of the edge islands together.
But it would mean ignoring the guilt that gnawed at her gut.

In the past three years, Carissa Mallory worked to provide schools in Tanzania with resources to help Swahili-speaking students learn English and advance to secondary school.
RecognizeGood honored Carissa Mallory with the 72nd RecognizeGood® Legend award in a presentation at Barnes & Noble (12701 Hill Country Blvd, #O-140, Austin TX 78738) beginning at 3:00pm on Friday, December 15, 2017. During this event, RecognizeGood made a $1,000 pay-it-forward donation to Reading Around the World Literacy Initiative in Carissa's name.
English language skills often proved to be a barrier to pursuing a high school education in Tanzania. When Carissa Mallory, a recent graduate of Vandegrift High School, learned this, she decided to found the Reading Around the World Literacy Initiative (RAWLI).
Tanzanian secondary education is currently taught in English using books donated by the United States and Great Britain. Primary school students have limited instruction time for English classes and a short period to learn English fluently. Frequently, this leads to many kids being unable to pass the entrance exams to secondary school. Carissa learned of the literacy issue and its ripple effects in Tanzanian schools from her aunt. She traveled with her parents to witness the need first-hand. On that trip, she donated whatever books she could collect. Since then, Carissa's efforts have provided more than 12,000 books, 350 desks and chairs and an educational app to help Swahili-speaking students learn English.
As a 2017 Legend, Carissa is now eligible to participate in RecognizeGood's Say Thanks Austin campaign.

The stage is set for better US-Mexico cooperation
The challenge now is to continue 2021's advances to achieve tangible results for both countries — and North America as a whole.
by Earl Anthony Wayne
Mexico and the United States begin 2022 with a challenging bilateral agenda, but a series of dialogues and work agendas agreed over the past year can facilitate problem-solving and progress.
On Jan. 31, for example, the U.S. and Mexico announced an agreement on a public security and safety action agenda for addressing deadly cross-border crime, in an effort to reverse the deteriorating cooperation and lethal crime of the past four years.
U.S.-Mexico relations touch more daily lives of Americans and Mexicans than any other bilateral relationship that either country has. During the Trump administration, relations were characterized as much by tumult and tension as by collaboration.
The Biden administration came to office with a focus on building a good, long-term relationship with Mexico and the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), informed by the work Biden and many of his team did previously with Mexico and Central America. They worked through initial hesitancy from Mexico City and invested in a series of conversations, including a visit by Vice President Kamala Harris, to deepen trust and understanding.
As a result, the U.S. and Mexican administrations recreated, reshaped and revitalized channels for cooperative work on the economic, public security, people-to-people, environmental and related agendas that bind these neighboring countries. Serious differences remain, but both presidents deployed talented teams who realize that no matter how frustrated one country might be with the other over particular issues, it is essential to make best efforts to sustain a productive relationship.
The challenge now is to continue 2021's advances to achieve tangible results for both countries — and North America as a whole. Problem areas such as crime, divergent energy policies, and managing migration flows remain tough. Both governments will need to demonstrate flexibility on some policy preferences, as well as perseverance to reinforce the teamwork needed to boost citizen security and well-being.
Good progress is evident on economic issues. The Trump administration successfully negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which succeeded NAFTA. Largely because of COVID, implementing the USMCA only shifted into top gear over the past year. Doing that well will promote economic growth across North America. Mexico and Canada are essentially tied as the United States's largest trade partner, and they are its two largest export markets. Over $2 million a minute in trade crosses both borders, supporting millions of jobs in each country.
The three governments are moving vigorously to implement the USMCA's commitments and provisions via meetings among trade ministers and deputies, as well as the working committees established by the agreement. Officials from all three countries report agreement on opportunities to improve trade and benefits for workers. Most trade proceeds without problems, but there are significant differences and ingrained problems to tackle, such as Mexico's labor practices and energy and biotech agricultural policies, Canadian dairy policies, and U.S. approaches to rules of origin for vehicles and support for electric vehicles, as well as the treatment of Canadian lumber and some Mexican ag products.
Solving problems requires collaboration, such as is happening with some Mexican labor issues and is welcomed by U.S. unions, as well as the USMCA's dispute settlement processes. USMCA dispute processes were used for U.S. complaints about Canadian dairy policy and are underway for objections to the U.S. approaches on Canadian lumber and vehicle rules of origin. Bilateral dialogue outside the USMCA framework is also being used to avoid potential disputes, notably regarding U.S. concerns about Mexico's proposed energy reforms.
To complement the USMCA's work, the U.S. and Mexico revived a High-Level Economic Dialogue (HLED) to promote cooperation beyond trade. Among other issues, HLED working groups are tasked with promoting cross-border supply chains, improving border crossing processes and facilities, building cooperation on workforce training and skills, and promoting investment in southern Mexico and Central America to help deal with the root causes of migration.
Canada, Mexico and the U.S. also agreed on enhanced trilateral cooperation at the November 2021 North American Leaders Summit (NALS). These include better preparing for future health emergencies, strengthening supply chains by creating a trilateral coordination mechanism, and addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The leaders highlighted the importance of cooperation to address climate change, including through greener technologies such as electric vehicles and region-wide strategies on key environmental problems. Officials will report results when the leaders convene again in 2022.
As challenging as boosting prosperity and competitiveness are, dealing with migration and cross-border organized crime are more daunting. The Biden administration is struggling to find a more humane and effective system for managing migrants at the southern border. It has encountered serious roadblocks, divided policy advice, blistering attacks from Republicans and sustained large migrant flows from Central America and other countries. The U.S. and Mexico are cooperating, including on addressing root causes. Mexico's National Guard is detaining migrants crossing into Mexico and heading north. Mexico's efforts remain imperfect, but they are of value. The months ahead will be crucial for demonstrating progress.
Crime remains as deadly and difficult as ever. Lethal drugs are surging northward, and guns and illicit money are flowing from the U.S. to Mexico. With some 100,000 U.S. citizens dying of drug overdoses in 2021 and over 33,000 homicides, plus other serious costs from crime in Mexico, this area cries out for better collaboration after years of deteriorating trust. Last October, the U.S. and Mexico recast cooperation into a broader "bicentennial framework for security, public health and safe communities." In January, the governments presented a comprehensive set of objectives. The challenge is to turn those into measurable outcomes.
Many concerns remain, including over democratic practices and human rights, but the stage is set for forging better results in 2022.

Home Communication Connecting at and through the London Olympics
Connecting at and through the London Olympics
Keith Lyons
It has been fascinating to observe the growth in social media opportunities between the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. An Associated Press post on 19 June announced London Games to Be First Social Media Olympics.
"In Sydney (2000) there was hardly any fast Internet, in Athens (2004) there were hardly any smartphones, in Beijing hardly anyone had social networks," said Jackie-Brock Doyle, communications director of London organizing committee LOCOG. "That's all changed. Here, everyone has all that and will be consuming the games in a different way."
The official London 2012 website has links to:
a mobile site
a Twitter account (with a generic #London2012 tag)
a Facebook page (liked by 414,723 people)
a YouTube channel (5,232,839 views)
two Mobile Apps (Join In and Results)
There is an information page about the use of the official website.
Elana Zak has posted about 7 Social Media Resources for Journalists Covering the Olympics. Her seven resources include:
Explore London 2012 Facebook page
Olympic Athletes Hub
Government Olympics Communications
Earlier this week Ingrid Lunden posted about Facebook's Social Olympic Ambition, Explore London 2012: A Dedicated Athlete Portal, But No Ads.
My prompt to write this post came from two email alerts:
iSportConnect has announced a Networking Tool for iSportconnect members who will be attending the London Olympic Games.
This tool allows members to keep up to date with all the latest news, events and uniquely find out who will be attending what games whilst giving you the opportunity to make new business and contacts plus arrange meetings. The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will take place in London, England, United Kingdom, from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

Follow athletes on Twitter, and make a scrapbook of their London Games

An international community of memes
I checked Foursquare too following the announcement of a partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The IOC has issued a set of guidelines for athletes and others accredited for the Games about blogging, posting and tweeting about their experiences. The AP post notes that:
London Olympic organizers have drawn up strict rules for their employees and the 70,000 Olympic volunteers. They have been told not to share their location, any images of scenes in areas that are off limits to the public, or details about athletes, celebrities or dignitaries who they find themselves in contact with.
It was be informative to see how the infrastructure for these social Games deals with such diverse demands:
At the last Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008, Twitter had about 6 million users and Facebook 100 million. Today, the figure is 140 million for Twitter and 900 million for Facebook.

Announcing The 9th Annual Crunchies Awards
Matthew Panzarino @Panzer / 7 years
It's that time again! Our annual awards show is coming back around again for 2016. But for our 9th annual Crunchies Awards, we've decided to do a few things differently, and we think you're going to like them.
This year, the Crunchies will be held at a new venue, the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, at 8:00pm on February 8th, 2016.
There are also changes with how TechCrunch selects the winners for the Crunchies. As in the past, we will start with nominations from our readers, which begin today. Those nominations will then be refined by our editors into a final list of nominees for each award. When it comes to final voting, however, we are making a big change. We are forming a 100-person Crunchies Board to pick the winners by secret, paper ballot. The Crunchies Board will include TechCrunch editors alongside entrepreneurs, investors and other tech notables, including speakers and judges who have appeared on the Disrupt stage. An independent third party will administer and tally the ballots as well as keep the results secret until we announce the awards on stage. We believe this change will bring more breadth of experience and perspective to selecting the winners of the Crunchies.
We've got a lot more great stuff planned for this year's show, but for now, here's a list of the awards to get you excited. Please head over to the show page and start nominating your favorite candidates in the categories below. Nominations will close on Wednesday, December 2, 2015. We'll see you at the Crunchies!

The woman who innovated the sanitary pad
It's February, the month where our nation celebrates Black historians that made an impact in the world, Black History Month! The month begins with my favorite poet's birthday-Langston Hughes. Well, this post isn't about a poet but a female innovator Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner who became the second African-American to succeed at an invention. To say the least, the first woman to file five patents throughout her lifetime-the most of any Black woman to this day. This self-taught inventor had no experience or training but had natural talent for discovery which came from her inventive father, Sidney Nathaniel Davidson. Coming up with her first invention at just six years old, she later became the woman to revolutionize menstrual hygiene.
Imagine what a woman's life would be like today if menstrual pads were never invented, I sure can't! Before the 20th century, women were not allowed to leave the house during their period. At the time, women were using cloth pads and rags for menstrual bleeding. Although tampons were already invented, they were seen as indecent. Sanitary towels were rare and expensive. Menstrual period was an embarrassing and shameful topic to talk about. Mary Beatrice is mostly known for inventing a sanitary belt in the 1920's which was patented 30 years later in 1956 due to racism. The sanitary belt was made of elastic with a moisture-proof napkin pocket. The belt helped keep pads in place to prevent leakage and stains in clothing. Her invention later led to the creation of the maxi pad in the 1960s.
Kenner was eager to make this product available in the market to help improve women everyday lives. After a company heard about this invention, the rep traveled from New York to Washington D.C where Kenner lived to close a deal, but would later get rejected for being Black.
"One day I was contacted by a company that expressed an interest in marketing my idea. I was so jubilant*. I saw houses, cars, and everything about to come my way," said Kenner, "When they found out I was black, their interest dropped. The representative went back to New York and informed me the company was no longer interested."
Kenner faced some obstacles to be able to have enough money to patent the product which she later succeeded at in 1957. Therefore, she'd take credit but no profit for this invention after several companies manufactured their own. When she finally granted a patent for her sanitary belt, she had upgraded the product with a moisture-proof napkin pocket.
Kotex Security Sanitary Belt (1948)
While we may be living in tough times where racism is still being exposed but no longer allowed, we can't erase history nor the fact that some of these black innovators changed the world for good. A Black woman who would later come up with other inventions to make life easier, from sanitary belt to toilet paper holder. Kenner said "My inventions were never about money. I just want to help make life easier for people." Now that's something to celebrate about.
*Jubilant- feeling or expressing great joy

Mexican Consul to Present Award to Frank Venegas Jr.
The Ohtli Award recognizes people of Mexican descent living outside of Mexico who work for the benefit of younger generations of Mexicans.
DETROIT — The Consul of Mexico, Vicente Sanchez Ventura will present the Mexican government's prestigious Ohtli Award to Frank Venegas, Jr. on March 21. As the Chairman and CEO of the Ideal Group and grandson of Mexican immigrants, Venegas' efforts in the Mexican and Hispanic community is defined by his background as a Detroit entrepreneur, business leader and Southwest Detroit advocate for education and community sustainability.
The Ohtli Award Ceremony will take place at Detroit Cristo Rey High School, 5619 West Vernor Highway in Detroit; at 1:30 p.m. Consul Vicente Sanchez will present the award before an assembly of Detroit Cristo Rey students, dignitaries and business and community leaders.
In 1917, Venegas' grandparents emigrated from Mexico to Southwest Detroit via Kansas City, MO. His grandfather worked at the Ford Rouge Plant and his grandmother ran a restaurant and worked at Banner Linen, formerly located near the old Detroit Tiger's stadium. They were known as the 'Madrina' and 'Padrino' of the neighborhood, often helping neighbors in need.
As a Detroit native, Venegas attributes his start in business to luck. In 1979, he won a Cadillac Coupe deVille in the Livingston County Builders' Association Holiday Raffle. A few days after winning the car he sold it and used the proceeds to start his first business. In 1995, he opened his first Detroit operation, located where the Cadillac Clark Street Assembly Plant was once located and the Cadillac Coupe deVille was built. The Ideal Group's new headquarters opened at 2525 Clark Street in 2000.
Following his cultural heritage and family legacy, Venegas, helps underserved and underprivileged, opens doors to opportunities through education, mentoring emerging business leaders, and neighborhood initiatives in Southwest Detroit. Venegas believes in making a pathway to citizenship for Undocumented Residents. Recently, Venegas and other business leaders collaborated and helped 31 undocumented residents file their paperwork for the DREAM Act, allowing them to legally work and pay taxes. Among the candidates were university students, graduates with Masters Degrees and one PhD candidate.
