#CashBail #Jail #D efendants #Court  #Courtroom Lawmakers, activists, and reformers want to end cash bail, the practice of requiring a defendant to pay money to be released from jail before trial. Mounting evidence has shown that cash bail unfairly affects low-income minorities who don’t have the money to pay for release before their trial. As a result, defendants languish in jail while waiting for court dates. While in jail, many of them lose their jobs, housing, and parental rights, all of which can weaken their community network, erode domestic relationships and cost the government money to keep them in jail. Defenders of cash bail claim it is an effective mechanism for keeping violent criminals in jail. Despite their efforts to protect the status quo, several states have pursued bail reform. These states model their new systems on a pretrial risk assessment system. Risk assessments use algorithms to analyze data about a defendant and make recommendations for...

#RobGronkowski #SerenaWilliams #Jamescorden #Halftime #Lakers Former New England Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski may have hung up his jersey in March, but the three-time Super Bowl champion took center court at the Staples Center Tuesday night to try his hand at something new. Dressed in a bright yellow uniform with gold trim, the 6’6” 265-pound former pro danced alongside the Laker Girls during the half of the Los Angeles Lakers - Oklahoma City Thunder matchup. An enthusiastic Gronk appeared to hit (almost) every move. He was also joined by tennis pro Venus Williams and comedian James Corden. Gronkowski’s appearance at the Staples Center came hours after he announced that, despite retiring from the NFL in March, he will be hosting a Super Bowl party in Miami. “I may not be playing the game this year, but I will still be going to Miami and I'm going to be debuting my very own music festival and its Gronk Beach,” he said. “I mean, you can't ask for ...

#Restaurants #SplitTheCheck #Waiter Eating dinner with a group of people at a restaurant can be fun. You know what's not fun? Trying to figure out who owes what when the check comes—when Jenny, like, only got the roasted beet and goat cheese salad, but Freddy got some stupid $38 hamburger (THE MEAT IS FROM PAT LaFRIEDA, OKAY?!), but Jenny had three cocktails compared to Gabby’s single glass of Pinot, so maybe Jenny actually owes more than everyone else, because those cocktails were $16 each (THE BARTENDER, EXCUSE ME, "MIXOLOGIST," USED ANGOSTURA BITTERS AND HAND-CHIPPED ICE, OKAY?!), but Franny says she owes less since she didn’t even order an entree on her own, even though she definitely took bites from half the main courses at the table, which was super annoying (ugh, such a Franny move), and everyone went to a stupid liberal-arts college so no one has the math skills to properly figure this out, and, you know what, this totally isn't even worth the aggravatio...

#SaugusHighSchool #DomesticViolence #Guns #SchoolShooting The Saugus High School shooter’s father was arrested for domestic violence two years before his death………..and experts say that mass shooting more frequently have a connection to domestic violence than mental illness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ People who knew the 16-year-old boy suspected of killing two students in a burst of gunfire at a high school outside Los Angeles described him as a quiet, smart kid who they'd never expect to turn violent. Police didn't identify the gunman other than describing him as Asian; law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspected shooter has been identified as Nathaniel Berhow. The shooting that killed two teenagers and wounded three others at Saugus High School in a Los Angeles suburb took just 16 seconds and left the attacker hospitalized in critical condition with a head wound,...

#Facebook #Instagram #socialmedia #SocialNetworking #stalking By  Ashley Carman   @ashleyrcarman     Jul 20, 2018 Instagram knows all of our secrets, particularly the people we love to stalk. Some people think the company outs our habits to other users in their story. These users believe that the people who populate at the top of your story viewers are the ones who stalk you the most. Maybe your crush is always at the top or maybe it’s your nemesis. It doesn’t matter who. We visited Instagram to speak with Julian Gutman, product lead for Instagram Home, which includes Stories and the Feed to figure out whether there’s any truth to this idea. Also while we were there, Julian and I chatted about the algorithm and the company’s switch to the algorithmic feed. Watch the video above if you want to know how people end up at the top of your viewer's list or the top of your Feed in general.

#SSN #FTC #SocialSecurity #Scam #Fraud ABC11 reported on victims who receive calls from scammers claiming to be from the Social Security Administration. The callers claim that the victims have committed a criminal act and that the government has suspended their Social Security number and filed a lawsuit against them. Victims are instructed to call a specific number, where they will be asked for personal information. They'll also be told that they must pay a fine to end the lawsuit and recover their Social Security numbers. In another version of the scam, which has been concentrated in the Monroe County, N.Y., area, victims are told their Social Security number has been suspended due to "suspicious activity" and are asked to press 1 to be connected with a Social Security representative. In both scams, the endgame is acquiring personal information from the victim and soliciting payment of some kind to "reactivate" a Social Security number. Scammers have ...

#Mercury #NASA #Sun #Astronomy  Mercury will transit the Sun for the first time since 2016 this coming Monday. It won’t do so again until 2032. The smallest planet’s eccentric orbit means it doesn’t often pass in front of the Sun from Earth’s vantage point. This year, part of the 5.5-hour transit will be visible to much of North America starting at 7:36 a.m. ET. The eastern half of North America and all of South America will see the whole show, which will last until 1:04 p.m. ET. Africa, Europe, and western Asia will be able to see it at Monday’s sunset. How can you see it? Well, I’d advise against staring directly into the Sun and even more strongly against staring into the Sun through binoculars or a telescope. Instead, it’s best to use a telescope with a solar filter, through which the transit will look like a small black speck passing in front of the Sun, which will appear 194 times larger than the speck. If you don’t have those tools, check if a local astronomy club w...

#KaiserPermanente #Therapists #Psychologists #Socialworkers #MFT #LCSW, About 4,000 unionized therapists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health workers at 100 Kaiser Permanente medical offices across California plan to begin a five-day strike Monday. The strikes are slated to start at 6 a.m. Monday at 10 locations in Southern, Central and Northern California. In the Bay Area, workers will form picket lines Monday outside Kaiser’s San Francisco medical center on Geary Boulevard and two Santa Clara locations — the medical center on Lawrence Expressway and Tantau Clinic on Homestead Road. Protests by members of the National Union of Healthcare Workers will continue throughout the week at various locations. They plan to picket outside Kaiser’s Oakland medical center on Tuesday; Livermore, Redwood City, San Leandro, Vallejo and Walnut Creek medical centers on Wednesday; and Oakland, San Jose, San Rafael and Vacaville on Friday. The workers are objecting to what ...

#CynthiaErivo #HarrietTubman #UndergroundRailroad #Slavery #CivilWar  One can learn a great deal about Tubman, as portrayed by Cynthia Erivo, by watching the film. Historian Kate Clifford Larson, who worked on the film, told USA TODAY that she thinks the movie is accurate, though there are some discrepancies. "It is true to Tubman: Who she was, her character, her deep faith, her love for her family," Larson says. Tubman escaped slavery and helped roughly 70 others who were enslaved reach freedom through a network of safe houses dubbed the Underground Railroad in the 1800s. And during the Civil War, she liberated more than 750 enslaved people, when she led a battalion of over 150 black soldiers during the Combahee River Raid. The film is informative about Tubman and her heroic feats, but there is plenty more to learn by visiting museums and destinations in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. areas. Maryland Tubman was born into slavery and lived for the first part of...

#TheMatrix, #AgentSmith, #Cypher, #Neo, #Trinity, #Morpheus, #RedPillBluePill,  Beyond blue pill or red pill and bullet time, here are the smaller elements of the 1999 sci-fi action movie that helped make it an enduring classic. These are some of the stories that come up when you search for articles about The Matrix on the internet: How The Matrix Changed Movies Forever; The Matrix Is the Movie That Changed Everything; How The Matrix Changed the Rules for Action Movies; Neo’s Stunt Guy Chad Stahelski on How The Matrix Changed Movie Action Forever; Six Ways The Matrix Changed Hollywood. There are more, of course, but the point is clear: The Matrix, a philosophy movie disguised as an action movie about a computer programmer who learns that machines run the world and everyone is asleep inside of a digital simulation, changed movie things irrevocably. Let’s do here what we did with Good Will Hunting: Rather than go through and reiterate all of the big things that The Matrix ...
