The second annual Nest Convening spurred conversation in leveraging capital and creating collaboration for the handmaker economy.
Last week, the second annual Nest New Handworker Economy Convening occurred at BNP Paribas to highlight the value of impact financing, data-driven transparency in the supply chain and collaboration in ensuring economic wealth and social health of the global handworker.
The global handworker economy is not simply “making baskets” — it’s the second largest employer of women in developing countries and a “lever of positive change” according to Jean-Yves Fillion, BNP Paribas USA chief executive officer and chairman of CIB Americas.
Bridgeport detectives are looking for at least two suspects in an overnight shooting at a Marina Village housing complex that injured a Bridgeport man.
Police responded to 2:30 a.m. Saturday to 380 Iranistan Avenue near Building 22 to investigate. They found a victim, identified as Eugene Williams, 48, of Bridgeport, with a gunshot wound in his neck, police said.
He was transported to Bridgeport Hospital and underwent surgery there.
Police are still in the early stages of the investigation, but said they are seeking at least two suspects based on witness accounts of the incident.
Police have not released descriptions of the suspects at this time.
Every computer is vulnerable to the occasional crash, but if it happens when you activate your Epson printer, the two actions may be connected. Hardware and software issues can both cause a computer crash, requiring some trial-and-error experimentation to discover and correct the problem.
One reason your Epson could be crashing your computer may have nothing to do with the printer itself; instead, it may be the USB port it's plugged into. These connector ports aren't immune to failure, and physical damage or virus infection can render them non-functional. Try a different USB device in the suspect port to see if it works. Switch the Epson's cord to a different port and see if the problem persists. If the printer works in the new port, and your different device doesn't work in the old one, your first USB port is faulty. If the printer crashes the machine even in the new USB port, you need to dig deeper for the cause.
All devices connected to your computer require software called drivers to operate properly, and if these drivers become corrupted or outdated, it can cause problems. Check for new drivers for your printer and operating system through Epson's website (see link in Resources.) Remove the previous driver through your computer's Device Manager, and then install the new one. Make sure your operating system is fully updated to maximize the possibility of the new driver communicating with your computer properly.
Your Epson printer could be sucking too much power from your computer when you turn it on, causing the machine to shut down. The power supply unit could also be failing, which can cause these crashes when new devices are connected or powered up. You can check the voltage on your PSU with a voltmeter or replace it entirely if you're getting other signs of failure such as odd noises or smells emanating from the unit. Random, inexplicable crashes are another sign of PSU failure.
If your USB port works, all drivers are updated and everything else checks out, you could have a faulty Epson. The printer itself may not be communicating properly with the computer, resulting in a computer crash. Connect the printer to a different computer. If the second computer crashes, that points the finger of blame to the printer itself. Contact Epson or your place of purchase for a potential return or repair.

'The normalization of our relations with Turkey does not mean that we will remain silent in the face of its baseless condemnations,' Foreign Ministry spokesperson says.
Israel responded harshly to the statements of condemnation issued on Monday by Turkey regarding operations carried out overnight by the Israel Air Force in Gaza in response to the firing of a Qassam rocket at the Israeli border town of Sderot. "Turkey would do well to think twice before criticizing military operations of other countries," Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said.
Nahshon added that "the normalization of our relations with Turkey does not mean that we will remain silent in the face of its baseless condemnations. Israel will continue to defend its civilians from all rocket fire on our territory, in accordance with international law and our conscience. Turkey should think twice before criticizing the military actions of others."
Speaking Monday evening, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said normalization of relations with Israel would never prevent Turkey from expressing its position on the Palestinian issue. Yildirim added that Turkey hopes to clarify that it does not accept nor agree with Israeli strikes in Gaza.
The Turkish prime minister's comments came several hours after a similar condemnation of Israel from the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

Tour guides at Cartagena‘s fort of San Felipe de Barajas are worried that the introduction of new multi-language audio guides will cost them their jobs, reports El Heraldo.
“We are ambassadors of the country to tourists from all over the world and this is how they repay us? Replaced by a machine,” said Rafael Montes, spokesman for the eighteen guides.
Cartagena‘s Society of Public Improvements (SMP) and tourism company Tierra Magna are behind the new audio guides, which will be available in Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, and soon in Portuguese.
Dilson de la Rosa Ahumada, who has been taking tourists around the site for 40 years, took the tour guides’ plight to the Cartagena Municipal Court, where he argued the new machines had an unfair advantage over their human competitors.
De la Rosa Ahumada told the judge that, while the audio guides enjoyed an advertisement on entry tickets to the site, the tour guides are not publicized at the fort’s entrance.
The judge ruled to uphold the guides’ right to decent work and ordered the SMP to provide equal promotion to both human and machine, so that tourists can weigh up the options before making a decision.
“The visitor must choose the medium that is most convenient to receive information from the monument and make the relevant tour,” the ruling said.
SMP challenged the court’s decision, saying that it never intended to replace the tour guides, but simply wanted to give tourists an extra service, one which is available in other parts of the world.
“Cartagena has to move forward with high-class tourist services and audio guides which are common in monuments and museums around the world,” said SMP chief executive, Claudia Fadul.
The Fox News host has been a fixture on the Atlanta radio waves since the 90s, and is even said to have the ear of the president. But now, the host is facing criticism for apparently taking federal money to get rich here in Georgia.
If you listen to talk radio, chances are you know all about Sean Hannity, one of the most watched conservative commentators in the country.
There's a fierce debate going on across the country about the future of Housing and Urban Development. HUD is currently facing billions of dollars in budget cuts, and just this week, dozens showed up in front of David Perdue's office in Atlanta to protest what they called an attack on the poor.
But it turns out, Sean Hannity may have used HUD loans to buy up hundreds of properties in Georgia, helping him cultivate a massive rental property empire throughout the southeast.
Hannity was quick to criticize former President Obama for the handling of the recession and recovery, but that didn't stop him from apparently using the federal government to make money in Georgia.
Between 2012 and 2014, right after the recession, Hannity swooped in with a massive property purchase, buying up apartment complexes in Athens, Gainesville and Brunswick for nearly $23 million, including $17.9 million apparently from HUD. Among those purchases was an entire neighborhood of townhomes in Lithia Springs. That neighborhood, the Meadows, cost him more than $3 million.
He then refinanced those loans under the current Trump Administration, a fact he never disclosed on his show, even when he was interviewing current housing secretary, Ben Carson.
His real estate holdings came to light after he admitted to consulting with President Donald Trump's personal, and embattled, attorney, Michael Cohen, on real estate matters.
11Alive's Ryan Kruger went to that cluster of Townhomes in Lithia Springs. For those residents, the Fox News host is their nameless, faceless landlord.
Audrey Moran is one of those tenants.
"I like it here, it's quiet," Moran told 11Alive's Ryan Kruger.
But not everyone had the same positive things to say.
"It's horrible," said one woman, who asked that she not be identified. "The rent has gone up every year like, $50 to $100."
In fact, longtime residents tell 11Alive their rent has gone up nearly 50% in the last five years. They do admit that once Hannity's company took over, they upgraded the duplexes.
In many ways, Hannity represents a changing of the times when it comes to rental properties. Up until recently, experts say it was commonplace for the owner of a rental property to live nearby. But after the housing crisis, many out-of-town investors, like Hannity, jumped in with their pocketbooks.
But the conservative host was quick to defend himself against criticism. In a statement, Hannity said it was "ironic that I am being attacked for investing my personal money in communities that badly need such investment, and, in which, I am sure, those attacking me have not invested their money," the statement read.
"The fact is, these are investments that I do not individually select, control, or know the details about; except that obviously I believe in putting my money to work in communities that otherwise struggle to receive such support," he continued.

The Chief Minister skipped meals and remained awake the entire night on a makeshift dais here along with some senior ministers and party members.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who began a sit-in protest over the CBI's attempt to question the Kolkata Police chief in connection with chit fund scams, said Monday she will continue her "Satyagraha" till the country and its Constitution are "saved".
"This is a Satyagraha and I'll continue till the country is saved," Banerjee told reporters who accompanied her at the place of dharna.
She said she was getting calls from politicians, including former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamalnath, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Gujarat MLA and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani.
Asked if any of the leaders would arrive in the city to meet her, Banerjee said, "I've no idea about that. If someone wants to come, we will welcome them. This fight is not by my party. It is for my government".
Several party supporters from different districts thronged the area shouting slogans in support of Banerjee.
"We have come here in support of our beloved didi. We stand in support of her," said a supporter Poritosh Sengupta from Halisahar.
In an unprecedented development Sunday evening, Banerjee sat on a dharna, protesting CBI's attempt to quiz Kolkata Police chief Rajeev Kumar in connection with chit fund scams.
A CBI team, which went to Kumar's residence in the city's Loudon Street area, was denied permission, bundled into police jeeps and were whisked to a police station.
The CBI wants to quiz Kumar, who led a Special Investigation Team of West Bengal police probing the scams, regarding missing documents and files.
Several political leaders, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister M Chandrababu Naidu, R J D national president Lalu Prasad, came out in support of Banerjee.
Gandhi called up Banerjee and extended support to her, saying the entire opposition is together and it will defeat the fascist forces.
A television adaptation of Charles Forsman's I Am Not Okay With This has been picked up by Netflix, according to Deadline. The streaming service has ordered an eight-episode first season overseen by director Jonathan Entwistle and producer Shawn Levy. Christy Hall co-created and will write the adaptation.
"Sydney seems like a normal 15-year-old freshman. She hangs out underneath the bleachers, listens to music in her friend’s car, and gets into arguments with her annoying little brother ? but she also has a few secrets she’s only shared in her diary," reads Fantagraphics' solicitation for the 2017 collection. "Like how she’s in love with her best friend Dina, the bizarreness of her father's death, and those painful telekinetic powers that keep popping up at the most inopportune times."
Forsman's The End of the F***king World was previously adapted for a live-action Netflix/Channel 4 series, and a second season is currently in production.
Do you relate to this?
I do have phases that usually last for abut 2 weeks - 1 month when I feel good. I've never felt extremely good, I just feel...okay, happy, fine. During these times, I'm able to work more effectively, stick to my goals, eat healthy, drink less, workout regulary. I just feel like a consistent normal person who is able to function. I sleep about 7-8 hours and am able to get up, do yoga, prepare healthy breakfast, finish everything at work, invest time in my hobbies. I talk to people, I'm friendly, I go to the gym, I lose weight, eat 3 meals a day, count calories. I'm full of new ideas, new projects, I'm enthusiastic, excited and feel like the future holds great things for me. I'm self confident, decisive, rational, intelligent, practical. I make plans, goals, I stick to my schedules, I act according to the plan, I'm productive, to the point, I'm everything I've ever wanted to be. I feel confident, hot, pretty... During these times, I feel like I finally reached happiness, I got healthy and I know what it feels like to be a normal person without any mental health troubles. I usually think I got magically well and I don't need therapy anymore.
Then I have phases, that usually last for ... it feels like it's longer but I think it's actually 2 weeks - month as well. When I feel like an ugly little **** who doesn't deserve to live. I sleep 10 - 11 hours, I feel tired all the time and nothing can get me excited. I feel sad, depressed, melancholic and like crying all the time. I sometimes feel so much pain, and I have no idea where it comes from. It just suddenly hits me, it's so overwhelming it feels like I lost everything in my life, even though I know it's not true. I know the pain is irrational and it comes from a thin air, yet it still comes regularly and I can't fight it. Then negative thoughts start to appear as well, suddenly I feel like my positive and productive phase was just an illusion. Like I was living a dream and a cold harsh reality hits me from every side. I feel useless, unproductive, lazy, ugly, fat, selfish, stupid, weak. I hate myself, I despise myself. It feels like I've been like this all the time and the positive thoughts were just there to cover up the truth about my life for a short while. I get suicidal, impulsive, I start drinking. I feel like I hat everyone including myself and I get flesh backs of past negative or shameful situations.
Does it sound like something that someone with bipolar would experience?
It suggests Bipolar II (I am not sure they use the division between I and II in UK, though, but basically bipolar with depression and hypomania, but without frank mania). You also a very eloquent person .
I would track moods for three months and then take the mood tracker to a psychiatrist (not a therapist). It is also surprising the current therapist has not picked up on your phases, since they seem so textbook.
As an alternative to this side's Mood Tracker (or an addition to it), you can use Optimism Online, which is customizable, and in your particular case it would make sense to track when you start what is called "self-medicating" with alcohol, to see if you can unearth patterns of correlations between phases of mood and drinking.
In general what is happening with you is called mood congruent memory, which is a type of cognitive bias that makes you recall events of the same affective (mood) state as your current state. For this reason you are getting flashbacks of past negative or shameful situations when you are feeling very low. Also for this reason you think that the productive stage was an illusion - it feels so because it is hard to recall (to feel that it was real) a state that is starkly different from your current state. This bias is a trick the mind plays on us.
I think my therapist thinks I'm "ok" 'cause my symptoms seem to be mild. During the worse episodes, I still manage to go to work even if I'm less productive than usual. I still manage to get up, get ready and function, even though it's more difficult and exhausting. I also didn't tell her about the drinking, even though I know I should.
During my better episodes, I actually really act like a normal person and I feel normal. I get positive feedback from others as well, I don'do crazy impulsive stuff like people tend to do during a manic episode, I'm just happy and fine like a person normally "should be". And I feel really well and okay.
I had a nice long reply and then I lost it. Basically I said you can have unipolar depression and still cycle into periods of normalcy. Or you could have something like cyclothymia, where the “up” periods are not that severe.
My recommendation would be to see a psychiatrist for an evaluation. Therapists generally aren’t qualified to diagnose.
I sort of lean towards wildflowerchild's response, but as Guinness suggests, a psychiatrist is the best person to confirm any diagnosis, or lack thereof.
People can lack insight to hypomania, and even mania. However, the DSM-5, in the US, clearly states that even hypomania is generally noticable to others and clearly reflects a difference from a person's stable state. Hypomanic symptoms are also ones that others can usually identify as "Yea, so-and-so does talk fast" or "Yea, they can act a little wild, or strange, or over-the-top on occasion or seem to do a lot more than most people sometimes." Of course there are people without bipolar that are loud Chatty Cathys and/or high energy wild childs, but they may not exhibit any major changes to that state under normal circumstances. I believe that some people too often underestimate how significant of a dysfunctional state hypomania can be. I have been full blown manic with psychosis, and can say that full blown mania is very severe. Hypomania is not always just "Zippity Doo Dah" skipping down the lane. Most people on earth have skipping down the lane periods.
Have you ever heard of the Bipolar Spectrum? Some experts have a very broad definition of it, while others don't. Some that do may even consider a person whose moods frequently fluctuate between mild to moderate depression and stable baseline as on the spectrum. Such a person may not necessarily qualify for even a bipolar 2 or Cyclothymia diagnosis, but may still benefit from bipolar moodstabilizers more than antidepressants.
I don't know if you are female or male, but in some cases hormonal issues could be in play. Or something totally different unrelated to mental illness. I only mention this because these issues and questions are the reasons why diagnosis by a psychiatrist is recommended.

You definitely have to see a doctor. Therapists can be wonderful and full of knowledge but its not the same as a medical doctor.
AIRLINES have failed to meet a July deadline to submit plans on how to improve treatment of disabled passengers, as wheelchair-reliant, blind and intellectually impaired people flood government agencies with complaints.
The disability commissioner, Graeme Innes, says people have been left on planes for 45 minutes until cleaners have found them because staff have failed to assist them to disembark. Others have been lost in terminals or bumped at check-in because of limits on assistance dogs per flight.
Mr Innes blamed staff cutbacks and called for the government to step in and regulate to stop airlines ignoring the needs of disabled passengers.
Airlines were breaching the Disability Discrimination Act, Mr Innes said, and called for tougher aviation safety laws.
''I don't think airlines are taking this stuff seriously enough. I think that the government needs to regulate … They have had 17 years to get this stuff right, but they are still not getting it right,'' he told the Herald.
Jetstar caused an uproar last year when it forced the Paralympian Kurt Fearnley to check in his wheelchair as luggage, leaving him to crawl through Brisbane Airport in protest at the unsuitable alternative wheelchair offered to him.
An industry working group had agreed all airlines and airports would submit plans on how they catered for disabled passengers but only Rex and three airports met the deadline.
Mr Innes said incidents included three wheelchair users being told airline policy limited each flight to two wheelchairs, and an airline forgetting a passenger and leaving the person on the plane. ''The cleaners rock up and say: 'Oh, what are you doing here?''' Mr Innes said.
His call for tougher laws was made at a disability and international aid forum attended by Coalition and Labor MPs, including the Foreign Affairs Minister, Kevin Rudd.
