About Motel 6 Phoenix
Owned and founded by two local building contractors, Motel 6 first opened in Santa Barbara, California. Lead by partners Paul Greene and William Becker, the hotel cleverly took its name from the initial room rate per night the hotel charged during its first operation, $6. Fifty years later, Motel 6 has over 1,300 branches across Canada and the United States.
Becker and Greene wanted to provide a low-cost hotel that could serve as an alternative to the major hotel brands during the 1960's, such as Holiday Inn. The partners specialized in low-cost housing and were able to create a hotel plan that would compete with the quality and the price of the current hotels America had during that era. Motel 6 took two years of conceptualization to be able to cut costs in areas possible. The effort these founders invested in Motel 6 paid off. This "no-frills" hotel materialized into one of the biggest hotel accommodations available in America.
Unique to the Motel 6 brand, there was no onsite restaurant available in the first hotel launches in 1962. Up to this day, most of the Motel 6 branches have no on-site dining available, but with plenty of restaurants located nearby.

Gunman Kills 26 at Texas Church, Injures 20 More Following Family Dispute
Chris Chaberski Published: November 6, 2017
On Sunday, November 5, the First Baptist Church in the town of Sutherland Springs, Texas, became the site of the latest mass shooting in America. This time, a man identified by police as Devin Patrick Kelley entered the church during morning service and opened fire, killing 26 people and wounding 20 more.
"He was just spraying at the front of the church," according to witness Kevin Jordan, who was in his yard near the church. "He was shooting outside at first, and then he walked to the door and started shooting inside."
Following the massacre inside, Kelley apparently exited the church carrying a rifle. Stephen Willeford, who lived across the street had heard the gunfire, confronted Kelley and shot him. Kelley then got into his SUV and drove off. Another man, Johnny Langendorff, had been driving by the scene. He stopped and picked up Willeford, and the two raced after Kelley's SUV.
"He briefed me quickly on what had just happened and said he had to get him," Langendorff said of Willeford, who joined him in his vehicle. "So that's what I did."
Authorities say that Kelley shot himself after crashing his car in the subsequent high-speed chase away from the church. He may have also called his father, telling him that he did not think he would survive. Kelley then died from his injuries, though it is unclear whether it was the self-inflicted wound, the car wreck or the previous gunshot he sustained that ultimately led to his death, perhaps a combination of all three.
Devin Patrick Kelly pic
According to investigators, Kelley (right, photo courtesy of Texas Dept. of Public Safety) had previously been involved in a dispute with his relatives. His mother-in-law was a member of the First Baptist Church, though she was not there Sunday morning. "This was not racially motivated, it wasn't over religious beliefs," Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety told reporters. "There was a domestic situation going on within the family and the in-laws."
Kelley was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force in 2014. He had been court-martialed in 2012 following an assault on his wife and child, then served a year in military prison. His bad-conduct discharge should have prevented him from purchasing a gun. Police found numerous weapons in Kelley's car, though it is unknown how he acquired them.
Among the victims at the church is 14-year-old Annabelle Pomeroy, daughter of the church's pastor, who was out of town at the time of the shooting:
The guest pastor, Bryan Holcombe, was killed as he approached the pulpit, according to witnesses. His wife, Karla, and son, Marc Daniel, also died at the scene. Bryan's parents, Joe and Claryce, described the full breadth of the tragedy to The Washington Post:
Marc Daniel had an infant daughter, Noah Holcombe, who, was a year old, Joe Holcombe said. She is dead, too.
Another son of Bryan and Karla, John Holcombe, survived, but his wife, Crystal Holcombe, who was pregnant, did not.
Crystal had five children. Three of them, Emily, Megan and Greg, died. The two others survived.
That's eight members of the extended Holcombe family dead, in addition to the unborn baby.
A full list of the victims, whose ages ranged from 18 months to 77 years, is not yet available.

Fishing for Food and Fodder: The Transnational Environmental History of Humboldt Current Fisheries in Peru and Chile since 1945
Wintersteen, Kristin
French, John D.
This dissertation explores the history of industrial fisheries in the Humboldt Current marine ecosystem where workers, scientists, and entrepreneurs transformed Peru and Chile into two of the top five fishing nations after World War II. As fishmeal industrialists raided the oceans for proteins to nourish chickens, hogs, and farmed fish, the global "race for fish" was marked by the clash of humanitarian goals and business interests over whether the fish should be used to ameliorate malnutrition in the developing world or extracted and their nutrients exported as mass commodities, at greater profit, as a building block for the food chain in the global North. The epicenter of the fishmeal industry in the 1960s was the port city of Chimbote, Peru, where its cultural, social, and ecological impacts were wrenching. After overfishing and a catastrophic El Niño changed the course of Peruvian fisheries in 1972, Chile came to dominate world markets by the early 1980s due to shifting marine ecologies along its coast that shaped the trajectory of the ports of Iquique and Talcahuano. As Peruvian anchoveta stocks recovered in the 1990s, new environmentalist voices--from local residents to international scientists--emerged to contest unsustainable fisheries practices. This study demonstrates how global, transnational, and translocal connections shaped Humboldt Current fisheries as people struggled to understand the complex correlation between fish populations, extractive activity, and oceanic oscillations within a changing geopolitical context.

Haim Steinbach & Julia Weist
April 4 to May 9, 2014
Appropriation and ready-made are terms that this small exhibition deliberately avoids. What is presented here is a layering of intentions that stress the confines of art production and art history prompting other ways of presenting and thinking about a work of art. In dialogue with each other, these two works by Steinbach and Weist inform thought surrounding audience and reception; interpretation and misinterpretation.
Haunting this project is Michel de Certeau's 1974 work The Practice of Everyday Life; a contribution to the field of Cultural Studies in relation to the everyday that focuses attention from producer onto consumer, reader and audience. de Certeau recalls an experience visiting a particular regional museum; he imagines past users and past communities through the museum's intricate fabrication of a lived reality revealed in the arrangement of objects on display, in that moment crystallizing his thinking about proverbs and popular language; like objects, meaning in language is contingent not only on context and history but also on the "marks" left by use:
…abandoned and salvaged objects drew one's attention, through them, to the ordered murmurs of a hundred past or possible villages, and by means of these imbricated traces one began to dream of countless combinations of existences. Like tools, proverbs (and other discourses) are marked by uses; they offer to analysis the imprints of acts or of processes of enunciation; they signify the operations whose object they have been, operations which are relative to situations and which can be thought of as the conjunctural modalizations of statements or of practices; more generally, they thus indicate a social historicity in which systems of representations or processes of fabrication no longer appear as normative frameworks but also as tools manipulated by users.

(This is how you disappear/Grid) Case Study V 2014
an installation by Wolfgang Berkowski
April 8 to May 31, 2014
Reception for the artist April 8, 2014 6-8pm
St. Mark's Bookshop
31 3rd Avenue, NY, NY 10003
(This is how you disappear/Grid) Case Study V 2014, the latest in this series by artist Wolfgang Berkowski is a site-specific work that annexes the empty shelves in St. Marks Bookshop. Berkowski's minimal work not only insinuates itself directly into the existing architecture of this iconic bookstore but also marks off the devastation produced by late capitalism. The spectacle of Berkowski's blank shelves, on the verge of engulfing the shelves filled with books, prompts the viewer to consider the complex financial processes that bite away at the city, one real estate parcel at a time. St. Mark's Bookshop is one point among innumerable others of the flattening and obliteration of cultural difference and cultural possibility wrought by our global, hyper-dominant market economy. The loss of local culture, not only this bookstore, radiates outward via rezoning and gentrification throughout the East Village community, the intellectual and artistic communities of the city, and finally the whole of New York City. Berkowski's work also functions both as a monument to St. Mark's Bookshop's memorable past as well as an anti-monument to capital. There is some hope for the future silently embedded in this minimalist intervention because it offers the possibility of is own self-annihilation as an artwork when the shelves fill up again with books–if not at this location then at St. Mark's Bookshop's new location. To keep St. Mark's Bookshop open and to resist the devastation to our city requires action that obliterates the real and perceived limits imposed on us.
*And…. Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign is underway to raise money to renovate the new space and pay for moving costs. The campaign ends April 26. Please contribute now to igg.me/at/Stmarksbookshopmoves

Netflix executive touts 'golden era' of streaming service
Susan Montoya Bryan	, The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - An executive with Netflix says the streaming giant has boosted its original content exponentially over the last several years and that will mean more action for its production hub in New Mexico, where state officials have been busy trying to woo more big partners in the industry.
Nick Maniatis, who ran the state's film office before going to work for Netflix, spoke to a group of hundreds of business leaders and elected officials who were gathered Thursday in Albuquerque. He described it as a "golden era," saying the amount of content that's out there is amazing.
"A year ago you could say all the major studios - take Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount, Fox, all of them combined - would do about 300 or 400 projects a year. This year, we will do 1,000 projects, just Netflix," he said.
The pace of production is showing no signs of slowing down as Disney and others are planning new products. Maniatis said that will surely lead to a dearth of sound stages.
That's where New Mexico is hoping to fill the void.
It's already home to Netflix's first U.S. production hub. The company partnered with the state and the city of Albuquerque in purchasing a studio complex on the city's southern edge, pledging to invest $1 billion in production in the state over the next decade. It has put more than $2 million into renovating the studios so far and its offices there are expected to be complete by the end of the month.
"We have a lot more to bring to New Mexico," Maniastis said, teasing about some new developments. "I can't really tell you about it other than to say we're really pushing forward into the future with how production will be done. We've got some really innovate ways to do it and we're going to do a lot of that here in New Mexico."
The company also says it's on track with meeting spending and employment benchmarks promised as part of the partnership with the state. Netflix and state officials are planning to announce the progress in the coming weeks.
NBC Universal is in midst of turning a warehouse near downtown Albuquerque into a state-of-the art television and film studio. It has committed to spending $500 million on productions in the state over the next decade.
Both NBC Universal and Netflix also plan to put money each year toward film industry training initiatives.
Alicia J. Keyes, secretary of the New Mexico Economic Development Department, is just back from Los Angeles where she met with another company interested in coming to New Mexico. She said the state has shifted the conversation from one-off shows to partnerships with studios that can make long-term commitments to being in the state and keeping the established crew base working.
"Hollywood is finally like, `Wow, what's going on here and how are they doing this?' So we are on the map I think in a way that we never have been before," she said Friday in an interview.
State officials tout changes in the film incentive program for the uptick in productions and interest over the past six months. Netflix is among those to benefit from the program, though Keyes said it will take some time for the state to calculate the total amount of incentives and the economic impact of the work done since the legislation took effect in July.
In all, there have been about 80 to 85 productions in 2019, according to the state film office.
The state is projecting direct spending by the industry of about $530 million for the current fiscal year.

Bach: Australia Has Good Chance To Host 2028 Summer Games
Published: Apr 29, 2015 11:06 AM11:06 AM Updated: Apr 29, 2015 12:23 PM12:23 PM
Author GB Staff
International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach said Wednesday that Australia would have a good chance of success if it bid for the 2028 Olympic Games in Queensland state.
Fireworks over Sydney Harbor Bridge at 2000 Olympic Games
The Associated Press reports that when Bach met with Prime Minister Tony Abbott he encouraged Australia to plan for a Games bid. He later told a news conference that Australia's "worldwide famous love " of sport and the organizational skills it showed in hosting the 2000 Games in Sydney would ensure "sympathy" for the bid. He said, "a bid from Australia would enjoy a lot of sympathy, and would in fact have very good chances then also to win".
He added that the 28 years that would elapse between Sydney and a Games in Queensland ensured it would not be "too soon" for Australia to be awarded the Olympics again. "The Games are rotating around the world but there is no established circle. There is no rotation by years".
The IOC head met with Abbot, sports minister Sussan Ley and Australian Olympic Committee President John Coates in Canberra, then flew to Sydney and toured Olympic Park, site of the 2000 Games.
He called it an "emotional visit" 15 years after the event. He added he was in the stadium when Australia's Cathy Freeman won the 400 metres in 2000. He watched a replay of the race on Wednesday.
Bach said, "it gives you goosebumps when you see this and when you remember the roar in the stadium, when you remember how this tension exploded in joy after she crossed the finish line".
Bach is to meet with the mayors of South-East Queensland Thursday to further discuss a possible Games bid. The AOC has encouraged the South-East Queensland Council of Mayors to proceed with a feasibility study of a Games bid.
Cities have until January 2019 to announce if they are bidding to host the 2028 Games and the host city will be selected by the IOC in 2021.
An Olympics in Australia would be the nation's third following Sydney 2000 and Melbourne in 1956.
On Monday Bach ruled out a 2024 Olympic bid from India saying it was "too soon" after India's Olympic Federation suspension due to election violations. Boston, Hamburg and Rome – soon to be joined by Paris – have already entered that race.

Trump administration defers some tariffsTrump administration defers some tariffs
The three-month deferral of payments doesn't apply to any of President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods.
By Jenny Leonard
The U.S.'s temporary suspension of certain tariff payments is aimed at helping industries such as retail that are facing liquidity issues because of the coronavirus crisis, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said.
"In some cases the customs duties -- the excise tax you pay on the import -- will be lifted if there are hardship cases," Kudlow said in an interview with Bloomberg TV Monday. "In particular, there's a lot of concern about retailers and related supply chains getting into the United States."
The three-month deferral of payments, which was first debated inside the White House a month ago, only covers so-called most-favored nation tariffs and doesn't apply to any of President Donald Trump's enforcement actions, including tariffs he's imposed on roughly $360 billion in Chinese goods or steel and aluminum imports from around the globe.
"It's a significant action. We want to help folks, it's a way of helping out certain industries," he said, but added that it was "not an enormous action" and doesn't change the president's trade policies.
Kudlow told Bloomberg earlier this month that a deferral for certain duty payments was ruled out because it was too complicated to administer.
White House deliberations on whether to defer payments and for which tariffs were influenced by outside voices on both sides of the debate.
Related:Who pays tariffs?
Domestic manufacturers have argued for weeks that any relief for importers would create an unequal playing field at a time when industries in the U.S. are facing difficult times as well.
"The administration should not have tried to hide this decision by announcing it on a Sunday evening," said Thomas Conway, president of United Steelworkers International. "Instead, the president should have made the announcement himself, during the light of day, so he could explain why he would do something that runs so antithetical to his claimed priority to 'Buy American, Hire American.'"
Retail groups, on the other hand, said the action was helpful but doesn't go far enough to address the problem and ensure jobs can be saved during this crisis.
"While the deferral of select duty payments is helpful and warranted, the deferral of all duty payments for at least 180 days would do even more to assist retailers as they navigate this unprecedented pandemic," said Brian Dodge, president of the Retail Industry Leaders Association. "Millions of jobs are on the line, and we urge the administration to consider further duty relief to help retailers put workers back on the payroll when this crisis abates."
Related:Trump stands firm on tariffs
Kudlow on Monday also conceded that the duties for imported goods are paid by American companies and not China, as Trump often claims.
"Yes, tariffs are paid by the companies importing, yes U.S. companies, with a minimum impact, frankly, on consumers." He said the economic benefit of the phase-one trade deal between America and China "far outweigh" the economic cost of tariffs Trump has imposed.

Hackers Hit Sony And Rebuilding Trust With Tech Companies
This week on the Waves of Tech 245, hackers hit the Sony PlayStation Network again just days after the Sony corporate network was hacked and caused a number of issues. The recent hack leads us into a conversation about gaining and losing trust with tech companies. To finish to show, we discuss texting turning 22 years old and the Orion Launch. Enjoy the episode and continue to ride…the waves of tech.
Hackers hit Sony again
Days after the hacker group known as The Lizard Squad hit the corporate network of Sony, the group hit the PlayStation Network. The hack took down the system for a short time, causing Sony to tweet updates and apologies. Sony has a history of being the target of hackers, leading to a series of question marks about the company's security protocols. Hacks don't seem to slow the company and the gaming business down at all though.
Rebuilding trust with tech companies
Consider what it takes for you to lose faith, to lose trust in a company you trust. For many, that make take a while. And for others, that may take a single action to cause distrust. With all the recent news of hacks and stolen identity and security breaches, lack of trust seems to be something some firms are suffering from. We have a very dynamic discussion about this.
Texting turns 22
Do you know what the first text message sent said? In 1992, an engineer sent 'Merry Christmas' to a coworker. Little did he know that just 15 years later, the world would experience a text message revolution and would soon become the premier method of communication. With texting turning 22 this year, we have yet to find a method that is as efficient, quick, and enjoyable than texting.
The Orion Launch
NASA's Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they've ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. On December 5, 2014, Orion launched atop a Delta IV Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex Flight Test on the Orion Flight Test: a two-orbit, four-hour flight that tested many of the systems most critical to safety. The Orion Flight Test evaluated launch and high speed re-entry systems such as avionics, attitude control, parachutes and the heat shield. In the future, Orion will launch on NASA's new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System. More powerful than any rocket ever built, SLS will be capable of sending humans to deep space destinations such as an asteroid and eventually Mars. Exploration Mission-1 will be the first mission to integrate Orion and the Space Launch System.

Steve Jobs and New Apple Releases
With great sadness, we share our thoughts on the passing of a tech icon and visionary – Steve Jobs. Passing at the young age of 56, Jobs was able to create a one-of-a-kind business that prospered because he found niches in the market that were extremely profitable.
Curt Schilling Defends His Daughter From Trolls
Apple made the big headlines this week with their announcement of the Apple Watch and release of iOS 8.2.

Corruption and the Decline of Rome
Ramsay MacMullen
View Inside Format: Paper
YUPOut of Stock
Request Print Exam/Desk Copy
Prominent historian Ramsay MacMullen here offers a new perspective on the decline and fall of Rome. MacMullen argues that a key factor in Rome's fall was the steady loss of focus and control over government as its aims were thwarted for private gain by high-ranking bureaucrats and military leaders. Written in an informal and lively style, his book—the culmination of years of research and thoughtful analysis—provides a fascinating, fresh line of investigation and shows convincingly that the decline of Rome was a gradual, insidious process rather than a climactic event.
"An important book which will initiate a long debate. . . . What is new in MacMullen's argument is not the existence of this corruption but its sheer scale and long-term global effects. . . . A vivid and frightening picture of how a great state and civilization, the construction of centuries of painfully acquired political culture, can be cripplingly undermined."—Stephen Williams, History Today
"A powerful account of the vices of late Roman society, which certainly helps us to understand some aspects of its partial fall."—Jasper Griffin, New York Review of Books
"All students of history must welcome this wide-ranging book from so eminent an authority. MacMullen's knowledge of the ancient evidence is encyclopedic and his deceptively casual style and deliberate avoidance of technical terms make this an accessible and stimulating book for the general reader as well as for the specialist."—Jill Harries, International History Review
"MacMullen's book is excellent: rich and learned in detail, lively in style, and in argument and insights highly stimulating."—S. J. B. Barnish, Times Higher Education Supplement
"[Macmullen is]one of the most outstanding historians of the ancient world."—Anthony A. Barrett, The Historian
"MacMullen's book steps far outside the narrow investigation that its title might seem to promise, and therein lie its strength and abiding value. . . . The central theme of the book is how power was exercised in the Roman Empire, and on this the author has a great deal to say that is illuminating. . . . Not the least of the book's merits is its long introductory chapter. . . . MacMullen writes throughout in an engaging, rather conversational style."—T. D. Barnes, Classical Views
"MacMullen extends his gaze to the whole sweep of the Roman Empire. Characteristically, the product is rich and diverse. MacMullen seems to have read everything: his reader is treated to a wonderful array of anecdotes, recondite pieces of information, amusing snippets. . . . It is vintage MacMullen, down to the engaging and colourful style."—C. E. V. Nixon, Ancient History
"This book is powerful, original and highly stimulating, presenting a savory slice of Roman reality that is much worth reading."—Michael P. Speidel, American Historical Review
"MacMullen continues easily to digest massive amounts of primary and secondary material, to find the perfectly illustrative instance, to write unusually readable prose, and to instruct us from the perspective of 'historical sociology'. . . . The book is an admirable contribution to a classic scholarly genre--with the inevitable warnings about contemporary American parallels."—Robert J. Penella, Religious Studies Review
"A splendid example of how successfully the methods of historical sociology can elucidate the traditional narrative material of ancient history. . . . MacMullen's range and depth of learning are abundantly apparent in this study in the archaeological, epigraphic, and narrative detail which supports his arguments. . . . MacMullen raises and confronts the theoretical issues that lie at the heart of understanding a cultural transformation which had ramifications that extended beyond attitudes and mores to the political shape and endurance of the whole Roman Empire."—Callie Williamson, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"All students of history must welcome this wide-ranging book from so eminent an authority. . . . This [is] an accessible and stimulating book for the general reader as well as for the specialist. . . . MacMullen has done an important service in highlighting the importance of corruption in the later Roman Empire."—Jill Harries, International History Review
"An important book which will initiate a long debate. . . . A vivid and frightening picture of how a great state and civilization, the construction of centuries of painfully acquired political culture, can be cripplingly undermined."—Stephen Williams, History Today
"Ramsay MacMullen, Dunham Professor of Classics and History at Yale, is arguably the finest Roman historian America has produced. . . . His arguments demonstrate good sense, buttressed by data not speculation."—Erich Segal, The Independent
"It is a seductive thesis, told with brio and all the guarantees of scholarship."—The Economist
"MacMullen considers the economics, and especially the sociology, of Rome's decline as he observes 'the will of a great empire dissolving in the uncontrolled impulses of private enterprise.'"—Frances Taliaferro, Newsday
"A fine study in political sociology. It poses the deep problem of when patron-client political systems can be militarily effective."—Arthur Stinchcombe, Northwestern University
"MacMullen is very widely read; over 700 books and articles are cited. He has a good eye for an interesting topic on a grand scale, and he is not afraid to chance his arm on modern parallels."—Keith Hopkins, Times Literary Supplement
Ramsay MacMullen is the recipient of a lifetime Award for Scholarly Distinction from the American Historical Association (awarded Jan. 5, 2001). The citation begins, "Ramsay MacMullen is the greatest historian of the Roman Empire alive today."

The First Trailer for 'Hidden Figures' Looks Out of This World
Posted by Stephanie Cookies | Aug 15, 2016 | Movies | 0
During NBC's Olympic coverage Sunday night, we were treated to the first trailer for Hidden Figures. Based on the true untold story of three African-American women who worked at NASA and helped send John Glenn into orbit, starring Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe.
I'll be honest, this is a story I know nothing about and, I would hazard to guess, very few people know much about. Until recently, I wasn't aware there were woman working alongside the men in STEM positions within NASA during the Space Race. In popular culture we are taught it was all men, all the time, all white men at that. The women were housewives and mothers, and anyone non-white was left out of the picture entirely.
Which is why we need to keep making stories like this, lauding the unsung heroes that popular history forgot or intentionally omitted. I can only hope this movie educates as well as entertains and inspires more young women and girls to aspire to STEM careers.
My one complaint is the release date. Instead of coming out during the fall season, during Oscar season, it is coming out after the beginning of the year, traditionally where movies go to die. Without having seen the movie I find this to be a tragedy. No matter how the movie is, it will be long forgotten by the time the 2017 Oscar nominations hit. There is a reason we see the most critically acclaimed movies stacked within the second half of the year, Oscars, and this one will miss out unless it gets a limited release before the end of 2016.
Hidden Figures is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.
Hidden Figures blasts into theaters January 13, 2017.
Directed by Theodore Melfi.
Written by Theodore Melfi, Allison Schroeder, based on the book Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly.
Starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell.

World Fair Trade Day activities May 9 in Del Mar
The mission of the World Fair Trade Organization is to enable farmers and artisans to improve their lives and communities. Fair Trade Décor is hosting a day of related activities on May 9.
Free, family-friendly activities will be held May 9 at Fair Trade Décor to honor both World Fair Trade Day and Mother's Day.
World Fair Trade Day is an annual event sponsored by the World Fair Trade Organization to raise awareness about global trade. Del Mar residents and visitors now have the opportunity to celebrate and learn more about this important day.
"We are excited to partner with other community organizations to create these special events," said Betsy Paganelli, Carmel Valley resident and founder of Fair Trade Décor. "Community building is one of the principles of the Fair Trade Community."

Calls for Welsh football abuse investigation
9 December 2016, 11:59
An abuse lawyer is calling on the Welsh FA to start an investigation in to allegations of child abuse in football.
Three police forces in Wales are looking in to claims of abuse in the sport and an specialist NSPCC helpline has received hundreds of calls.
But Michael Imperato from Watkins & Gunn Solicitors in Cardiff says the Football Association of Wales should follow the example of the FA in England by launching a review in to the allegations.
"Institutions, such as the FA, should take a positive stance, engaging with and supporting victims.
"It's a concern that it is looking internally rather than reaching out to victims.
"In Wales it is an even greater concern as the FAW appears to have only endorsed the national help lines rather than taking direct action to support any potential victims.
"This is not enough. Sexual abuse in football did not halt, for example, at the Severn Bridge or Cheshire border."
Safeguarding Manager Sian Jones from the FAW said: The Football Association of Wales is fully committed to safeguarding and ensuring the welfare of all participants in football.
"We take any allegation, suspicion of harm, or concern extremely seriously and ensure this is managed in the appropriate manner.
"Since the revelations of non-recent abuse within football we have written to each club detailing how support can be accessed and urge anybody with any concerns, queries, or those who require support to come forward.
"Additionally, we have provided clubs with details as to what information parents/guardians should be provided with, and encourage those to ask questions of the organisation that their child is a part of."
The FAW is encouraging people to report concerns about abuse in football to the special NSPCC hotline on 0800 023 2642.


Three Tory MPs Call On Boris Johnson To Quit
Written by thehitnetwork on January 12, 2022
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross has become the first Tory MP to call on Boris Johnson to quit as prime minister following his "partygate" apology.
It came after Johnson on Wednesday admitted attending a "bring your own booze" gathering in the garden of No 10 during England's first lockdown – although he insisted he believed it had been a "work event".
Ross told Sky News: "Regrettably, I have to say his position is no longer tenable. I spoke to the prime minister this afternoon and I set out my reasons and I explained to him my position."
Ross said he will write to the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs to express no confidence in Johnson's leadership.
Tory MPs William Wragg and Sir Roger Gale later joined Ross in suggesting Johnson should exit No.10.
Other Scottish Tories followed Ross's lead and joined the chorus calling for a resignation.
What Tory MPs are saying
Asked if he thought the PM should resign Douglas Ross told STV News: "I made that clear. There was one simple question to answer yesterday, indeed from Monday night when we saw this invitation which was to more than 100 people asking them to join others in the Downing Street garden and bring their own booze.
"If the prime minister was there, and he accepted today that he was then I felt he could not continue.
"What we also heard from the prime minister today was an apology and he said with hindsight he would have done things differently, which for me is an acceptance from the prime minister that it was wrong and therefore, I don't want to be in this position, but I am in this position now, where I don't think he can continue as leader of the Conservatives."
He added: "I spoke to the prime minister this afternoon and I set down my reasons and I explained to him my position."
Chairman of the public affairs and constitutional affairs committee and Tory MP for Hazel Grove, William Wragg, has said the prime minister's position is "untenable".
He told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that: "A series of unforced errors are deeply damaging to the perception of the party.
"The prime minister's position is untenable."
Veteran Tory MP Sir Roger Gale said the PM "misled the House" about rule-breaking parties and should resign.
"I think the time has come for either the PM to go with dignity as his choice, or for the 1922 committee to intervene."
The powerful backbench Tory 1922 Committee was holding a regular meeting on Wednesday, with the prime minister's future hanging in the balance.
The Scottish Conservatives' Covid recovery spokesman at Holyrood, Murdo Fraser, has joined the calls. After Ross stated that Johnson should resign, Fraser tweeted: "I fully support @Douglas4Moray in this call.
"I'm afraid the prime minister's position is no longer tenable, he has lost public trust, and in the interests of the country and the Conservative Party he should step down."
Scottish Conservative finance spokeswoman Liz Smith also tweeted: "I note that the media believe @Douglas4Moray Ross has made a brave call. He has also made the right call."
In the Commons, Johnson said that he attended the May 20 2020 gathering for around 25 minutes to "thank groups of staff" but "with hindsight I should have sent everyone back inside".
The prime minister acknowledged public anger, saying: "I know the rage they feel with me and with the government I lead when they think in Downing Street itself the rules are not being properly followed by the people who make the rules."
He said an inquiry was examining the situation but accepted "there were things we simply did not get right and I must take responsibility".
Downing Street refused to say whether his then fiancee Carrie Symonds had attended the gathering, if Johnson had noticed tables laden with food and drink or if he had brought a bottle of his own into the garden.
All such questions were a matter for senior official Sue Gray's inquiry, the prime minister's press secretary told reporters.
But she insisted Johnson had not been sent the invitation email from his principal private secretary Martin Reynolds encouraging colleagues to "bring your own booze" to the garden.
At just after 6pm on the day of the event, the time the invitation had specified for people to gather to "make the most of the lovely weather", Johnson went into the garden to thank staff for their efforts and stayed for 25 minutes.
"I believed implicitly that this was a work event," he said.
"With hindsight I should have sent everyone back inside.
"I should have found some other way to thank them.
"I should have recognised that even if it could be said technically to fall within the guidance, there are millions and millions of people who simply would not see it that way, people who have suffered terribly, people who were forbidden for meeting loved ones at all inside or outside, and to them and to this House I offer my heartfelt apologies."
Johnson's press secretary insisted that he was not a liar and "he is not resigning".
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also called on the prime minister to resign.
He added: "The party's over, prime minister.
"The only question is will the British public kick him out, will his party kick him out, or will he do the decent thing and resign?"
The embattled prime minister also faced calls to quit from the SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford and Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey.
Hannah Brady, from the campaign group Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, said that, if Johnson does not step down, then his MPs have a "moral duty" to remove him.
Her father Shaun Brady, 55, died just a few days before the "bring your own booze" event and his death certificate was signed on the day it was held.
The Commons chamber was packed in anticipation of Johnson's first public response to the leaked email about the May 20 2020 event although Chancellor Rishi Sunak, viewed as a potential successor as Tory leader, was notably absent on a visit to Devon.

Lula Del Ray shines as virtual performances become new norm
Madison Degnitz, Pulse Editor|September 9, 2020
Manual Cinema
Manual Cinema uses a unique combination of projection, shadow puppets, live actors and other artistic techniques in crafting their one-of-a-kind shows.
The Rozsa Center hosted its first event of the semester this past Friday, Sep. 4 with a virtual showing of Manual Cinema's Lula Del Ray. Manual Cinema, an Emmy-award winning group was set to bring the show to campus back in spring, but the showing was postponed due to COVID-19. It was replaced this semester with a virtual showing, which will be the case for much of the Rozsa shows to follow.
In preparation for the Lula Del Ray showing, my housemates and I, dressed in our best attire (ie: comfy pajamas) settled in with blankets, our cat, Casper, and buckets of popcorn as we prepared to watch the Rozsa Center's first big event of the season. Though watching from home was surely less exciting than the excitement of gathering for a live performance in the theatre, Manual Cinema managed to capture our attention as we watched Lula Del Ray progress. We were glad to see it live up to our expectations of the Rozsa's quality programming, though instead of facing a stage in a theatre, we were on our couch in front of the flat screen.
Manual Cinema uses a creative combination of innovative shadow puppets and other ingeniously designed elements to make each piece of their show a seamless masterpiece. The puppets, carefully crafted out of layers of paper, are set on an overhead projector (just like the one your teacher used in elementary school) and moved along the screen to mimic motion. Beyond the projected pieces, they also use real props and human actors to further tell their story. Rich storytelling elements and music add the finishing touches of their performance. The final result is something entirely unique and otherworldly. Is it a live-action film? Stop motion? Animation? Perhaps it's something comparable to each.
Lula Del Ray tells the tale of a young girl, Lula, and her mother, a scientist stationed at a telescope. They live in a small camper together, often getting on each other's nerves as Lula's carefree spirit overlaps with her mother's career-driven focus. As her mother's attention remains heavily on her work, Lula finds herself captivated by the Baden Brothers band. As she becomes more and more engrossed in the Baden Brothers and their music, her relationship with her mother slowly worsens. The final straw breaks when an argument between the two breaks Lula's Baden Brothers record, and she runs away to find the brothers in a nearby city, and the telltale characteristics of a coming-of-age journey ensue.
Though the film has no dialogue, Manual Cinema's strategic use of music, artistry and performance within the piece craft a unique storytelling experience that captivates the audience's attention for the entire runtime. While this would have surely been a fantastic show to see live, Lula Del Ray was a great example of the virtual programming we will continue to see.
Lula Del Ray isn't the group's only show, either! Game of Thrones fans will recognize the name of their The Rains of Castamere piece, while Hansel und Gretel and Frankenstein pose memories of the respective classics.

They can kill three more, if they kill three more members we will lose the majority and this is their calculation so that the government of Saniora will fall down. We have got to resist and we are calling and will call for elections for the lost MP Walid Eido and for the other one, Pierre Gemayel (assassinated minister) Whatever the price is, we have to do it to not allow the Syrians to achieve their aims."

13. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Hussein Hajj Hassan, Hezbollah MP:
"We condemn the terror act which led to the killing of legislator Walid Eido, his son, two of his bodyguards and several Lebanese citizens. And we think that these crimes are taking place and are synchronised by the political exposure in the country. We think that the politicians are invited to find a political solution to the crisis in order to deal with all the disputed issues, as well as dealing with the security exposure. Some intelligence parties are getting benefits and committing these acts of terror and acting seditiously against the Lebanese."

Tens of thousands bade farewell on Thursday to victims of a powerful car bombing that killed a prominent anti-Syrian legislator and nine others as the government - reeling from another blow targeting its supporters - sought international help.
The bomb ripped through Walid Eido's car on Wednesday as he drove from a seaside sports club, also killing his 35-year-old son, two bodyguards and six passers-by.
The funeral procession swelled to tens of thousands, escorting Eido's body and that of his son and a bodyguard behind ambulances covered with Lebanese flags.
It drove down the main thoroughfare of Corniche Mazraa in the Muslim sector, where pictures of the slain politicians were posted on walls and overpasses and Eido's widow waved to the crowds from a balcony.
Saad Hariri, leader of the anti-Syrian majority bloc in parliament to which Eido belonged to, Druse politician Walid Jumblatt and other prominent anti-Syrian leaders also marched in the procession.
Jumblatt, an anti-Syrian MP, said that if the Syrian regime kill three more MPs, "we will lose the majority and this is their calculation so that the government of Saniora will fall down."
"We have got to resist and we are calling and will call for elections for the lost MP Walid Eido and for the other one Pierre Gemayel (assassinated minister) whatever the price is, we have to do it to not allow the Syrians to achieve their aims," he said.
One Hezbollah MP, whose party is pro-Syrian, also condemned the killings.
"Some intelligence parties are getting benefits and committing these acts of terror and acting seditiously against the Lebanese," Hussein Hajj Hassan said.
The blast that killed Eido was a new blow to the stability of an already conflict-torn nation.
It came just three days after the government, together with the United Nations, started putting together an international tribunal ordered by the UN Security Council to try suspects in the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut two years ago.
The tribunal has been strongly opposed by Syria and its allies in Lebanon.
"Somebody is trying to say that neither the international tribunal nor anything else can secure the Lebanese or their leaders. We will keep resisting and we will face this series of terrorist acts," Ghazi Aridi, the Lebanese information minister said.
Eido was a prominent supporter of the tribunal, a staunch follower of Hariri and the seventh anti-Syrian figure killed in Lebanon in the past two years.
Many in Lebanon have accused Syria of being behind the slayings, a claim Damascus denies.
Lebanon's majority coalition blamed Syria for Wednesday's assassination.
Syria controlled Lebanon for 29 years until it was forced out after Hariri's assassination, and its Lebanese opponents believe it is seeking to regain domination by plunging the country into chaos.
Businesses, schools and government offices were closed on Thursday after the government declared a day of national mourning.
The killings were likely to further enflame Lebanon's bitter power struggle between Saniora's Western-backed government and its Syrian-backed opponents, led by the Hezbollah militant group.
As the fighting in the north, pitting the Lebanese Army against Palestinian militants, with Palestinian refugees under siege, continues, many fear the violence there and in Beirut could push the polarised nation, with a fragile balance of ethnic and religious groups, into a new civil war.
