Capital Region retailers welcome start of reopening phase of recovery – The Saratogian

Posted: May 23, 2020 at 6:48 pm

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. After a challenging couple months, New York state is starting to reopen and Capital Region retailers are ready to get back to business.

Though the COVID-19 pandemic and Gov. Andrew Cuomos New York State on PAUSE executive order closed many of the regions small businesses over the past several weeks, some retail shops recently reopened for curbside pickup.

This curbside concept, a new offering for many stores, was permitted as part of Phase 1 of the governors regional reopening plan, which began on Wednesday, May 20 in the eight-county Capital Region.

While essential retail businesses such as grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations remained open, thousands of retailers that were not deemed essential lost the majority of their revenue stream during the early stages of the states pause.

This change was most visibly apparent in the Capital Regions downtown districts of cities like Saratoga Springs and Troy. These business-filled neighborhoods typically bustling with pedestrian shoppers in the springtime instead have had empty sidewalks and closed signs hanging in store windows.

Local business leaders and entrepreneurs look forward to the increased spending that is expected along with the regions phased reopening getting underway.

Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association president Deann Devitt said Phase 1 beginning is great news that the area is starting to move in the right direction.

Devitt described how the pandemic has affected the downtown business community in Saratoga Springs.

Initially the retailers completely shut sales down, but as the duration of the lockdown lengthened, many were forced to pivot towards online sales, she said. Using social media creatively, retailers were able to boost awareness of their products and sales giving them the ability to at least stay afloat while their doors were closed.

"So Phase 1 and curbside pickup will certainly help these efforts.

Despite the difficulties COVID-19 had brought upon local businesses, The amount of community support our retailers and restaurants have received through this, is just a reminder of how strong our community is, Devitt said. We truly are stronger together!

Support is coming from local government too.

In the Saratoga Springs City Councils most recent meeting, council members unanimously voted to adopt a resolution in support of the citys businesses. Public Safety Commissioner Robin Dalton presented this resolution to the council after noticing conversation around the idea that public health is in competition with the economy.

It was really concerning for me and our department because we just love our downtown businesses, and all of our small businesses, and we want them to know that they are supported by us, she said. The only way that we see this moving forward is for both public health and the economy to thrive and win together not one or the other competing.

The resolution referred to the local businesses as the foundation of the citys economy and identity. As we move toward a safe, phased reopening we must provide business owners, their employees and their customers with the security and confidence they need, and the encouragement to move forward.

In discussing the new resolution, Commissioner of Finance Michele Madigan said the city is only as successful as its small businesses are.

When they make money, we make money, Madigan said.

Alternatively, When theyre not thriving, were clearly not thriving, she said, mentioning the citys recent decline in sales tax revenue. We really do thrive on unique, specialty downtown stores - and they are suffering. So Im pleased about the reopening and I look forward to them getting a little breathing room.

Commissioner of Public Works Anthony "Skip" Scirocco spoke in support of the resolution as well, calling small businesses the economic engine that keeps things moving in the city.

Dalton agreed. I think its really important for us, as a city, to stand hand in hand with our business community and say, when weve gone through these phases, that were reopen for business and people can come downtown and shop and eat and drink and feel confident about their safety while theyre doing it, she said.

Looking ahead, Devitt said staying on target during the phased reopening is crucial to the continued success of the Spa Citys downtown businesses.

In the Collar City, members of the Downtown Troy Business Improvement District are facing similar challenges.

All of the districts businesses have been affected in some way, BID director Katie Hammon said, noting that retail, food and beverage, personal service, hospitality, arts and entertainment businesses have been hit much harder due to the nature of their business structure.

Since many of these industries are gatherers of people providing experiences for people to connect and engage, they are required to pivot their model to remain relevant in a virtual, physically distanced world, she shared. We have an incredibly resilient business community that has been able to innovate and reinvent themselves daily, however with inconsistent income it is a struggle for many businesses to keep up with their monthly expenses.

"Loans and grants, as well as support from the community has been necessary to sustain businesses throughout this time and additional funding remains a need as this return to normal will be a lengthy journey.

She continued, Businesses have been forced to think outside the box and more often than not, throw the box out altogether. They continue to build new structures and processes to sustain through this incredibly difficult period in our history.

To help these businesses, the BID provides guidance through a COVID-19 resource page on its website including state guidelines and reopening best practices for different industries, while connecting businesses with funding resources and other industry-specific resources.

The organization has partnered with fellow BIDs from around the Capital Region and the state to brainstorm ways to support their business communities and re-engage their downtowns in safe ways.

We have found great value in partnering with other organizations and businesses and creating opportunities for the business community to connect over common needs and goals, Hammon said.

In addition to her role as the BIDs director, Hammon is the co-chair of the Economic Development Pandemic Response Committee of Rensselaer County and chair for the Community Activation Subcommittee.

The efforts of these organizations include working to understand business impact and need, connecting businesses with necessary resources, convening businesses and organizations around common industry needs, building out processes for businesses to utilize public space for increased capacity when reopened, and - when the timing is right - creating programming to activate downtowns and main streets throughout the county in safe, physically distanced ways.

As the Capital Region starts to reopen, Hammon emphasized the importance of safety compliance by both businesses and customers.

Reopening with intentional phases is an important step in allowing our businesses to recover from PAUSE while reacting to changes in our regional counts, she said. In order to continue progress in reducing the spread of the virus, it is extremely important that businesses and patrons follow CDC and state guidelines.

"With information changing daily, businesses will stay informed of changes and request that patrons follow guidelines themselves. Everyone must do their part to ensure our economy remains open and is not set back by additional spikes in the virus count.

As part of the states requirements for reopening, each individual business must develop a written safety plan outlining how its workplace will prevent the spread of COVID-19. Companies can fill out a template provided by the state, or write their own safety plan.

This plan does not need to be submitted to a state agency for approval but must be retained on the premises of the business and must be made available to the New York State Department of Health or local health or safety authorities in the event of an inspection.

In a letter to Troy residents as the reopening phase was about to begin, Mayor Patrick Madden stressed safety as the region entered Phase 1.

"Remember: reopening our regional economy can begin because of the actions weve all taken during the last two months," Madden said. "We followed precautions and practiced social distancing. We wore masks and washed our hands. We avoided large gatherings and stayed home to reduce the spread of the virus.

"However, the ability to stay open is dependent on keeping the infection rate down. Critical to doing that is maintaining practices to continue to protect public health, prevent the overwhelming of local hospitals, support our local businesses, and ensure the Capital Region can proceed to Phase 2.

"Stay safe, be smart, wear a mask, and take care of each other."

Local entrepreneur Heidi West created a consolidated Business Precautions Plan for her three downtown Saratoga Springs apparel-based retail stores Lifestyles of Saratoga, Caroline & Main and Union Hall Supply Company. The plan, reviewed by an attorney, is based on guidelines from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Retail Federation.

Its pretty intensive. Its a really comprehensive plan, West said.

Safety is our main priority, for employees, clients, and the community, West said in a post on Facebook sharing the plan and welcoming any fellow small businesses to use it as well, noting that the goal is for all to open safe and open smart together.

Many aspects of the plan, including redesigned sales floors, sneeze-guards installed at checkout counters and shortened store hours to allow for nightly deep cleanings, are for when in-store retail is reopened in Phase 2.

The minute that my doors closed I started the process of figuring out what its going to look like when we open, West said.

Im going to play it very safe and very careful, West continued, sharing that her stores reopening to the public will start with one-on-one appointments.

While income is critical to any business, what many local shop owners are missing most throughout the pandemic is interacting with their patrons.

I just cannot wait to be open again and be able to see my customers, West said. Boy, do I miss the people.

Downtown Troy business owner Bianca Dupuis of The Broken Mold Studio has kept busy creating in her studio solo, but is eager to bring students back for instruction, which will take place in the fourth and final phase of reopening.

For this small business, the COVID-19 pandemic catalysed a full studio renovation that increased its size to allow for more space between visitors. It also sparked the idea for a new take-home clay kit offering.

Furthermore, the situation gave Dupuis more time to focus on her own work than shes had since she started the studio 14 years ago.

Its been a change thats been positive, she said, but I cant wait to get back to the student portion of my day.

Robin McDonough, owner of The Counties of Ireland in downtown Troy and Molly Malone's Irish Gifts in Lake George, feels the same.

I miss my customers. I miss them coming in, even if its just to have a chit chat, she said.

Im looking forward to Phase 2 when we can actually let people back in the store, McDonough said, feeling confident in her stores safety plans. Im ready to open my doors to customers.

"Im just waiting for them to say Go!

In the OBX events industry, hurt and hope – The Outer Banks Voice

Posted: at 6:48 pm

By Kip Tabb | Outer Banks Voice on May 23, 2020

In recent years, the shoulder season has increasingly become an Outer Banks success story. Driven by steady growth in weddings and music festivals like Mustang Spring Jam and the Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival, the time between March and May has been a major part of the Outer Banks economic success.

According to the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau (OVBV), in the 10-year span between 2010-2019, the cumulative growth of the value of meals and occupancy revenues was 78.4%, during those three months surging from $72.9 million in 2010 to $130 million last year.

And then there was COVID-19. No weddings, and the cancellation of the Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival and Mustang Spring Jam.

This is really kind of unprecedented areas that were into right now, said Lee Nettles, Executive Director of the OBVB. Newly unveiled March 2020 numbers show occupancy revenue down 62% from the same month last year and meals revenue down by 47%, with Nettles noting that the April numbers are probably going to be worse.

Interviews with those working in the events industry highlight the economic damage done by a pandemic that has shut down virtually all of the business this year.

But there is optimism for the future, based on an anticipated robust rebound of the wedding industry and a faith in the resiliency of those who earn a living through events.

Ashley Earnhardt, incoming president of the Outer Banks Wedding Association (OBWA), sums up the state of her business right now.

I know that the vast majority of everyones weddings locally have been postponed, she said. So obviously everything in April, and the first half of May was a wash,

The effect of the wedding cancellations will ripple throughout the local economy. Hard figures are difficult to find, but including lodging, food and associated services and weddings, a conservative estimate is that they pump over $100 million into the local economy. Almost every wedding includes a photographer, florist, caterer, officiant and event coordinator to bring everything together. And suddenly no one is working.

It isnt only weddings that have been affected by COVID-19 restrictions. Mike Dianna, owner of Bearded Face Productions, has cancelled two events this spring. His 9th Annual Mustang Spring Jam would have run on Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17. An earlier event, An Evening with Mojo Collins, scheduled for March 14 at Roanoke Island Festival Park was also cancelled.

For Collins, who has been involved in music since he was in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960s, it was particularly painful. The headline performance with his band Triple Vision was something he had been working toward for some time.

It hurts, man, he said. Id been working on this for twelve years. Maybe well be able to do this next spring. Ive been doing this [playing professionally] for six decades. Ive never seen anything like this.

In addition to promoting festivals and music, Dianna has also been the organizer of the Outer Banks Food Truck Showdown. The Showdown, scheduled for May 31, has been moved to September 13, but he acknowledges that date is tentative.

At this point, I think everyones going be speculating. And anyone who tells me that theyre not, I think youd have to view that with some skepticism to say the least, Dianna said.

Im just trying to make up the missing fifty-to-seventy grand in income this year. Im just trying to be as resourceful as I possibly can, you know, and its definitely a struggle, he added.

What the Outer Banks is experiencing is part of a broader phenomenon. For local musician and performer Ruth Wyand, the effects have been dramatic. She continues to give lessons via Skype and similar online platforms, but her live performances have been cancelled and none are scheduled.

Ive lost ninety percent of my income, she said. Im working with eight different bands, and my [Mustang Music Program] students, the bands and gigs. This year especially, Ive finally got into some festivals out of town in Florida and North Carolina. They cancelled those.

With North Carolina moving to Phase Two of its reopening plan, the updated guidelines would seem to have little or no effect on events and the music that is so much a part of local events. With restaurants limited to 50% capacity and outdoor gatherings limited to 25 people, Dianna does not believe it is economically feasible to book acts at this time.

I have clients thatare really eager to try to get their entertainment schedules back and one of the big things Ive had to explain to them was, well, youre not going to get the return on your investment, he said.

There is optimism, even in the midst of an unprecedented downturn in weddings, events and entertainment on the Outer Banks.

At the OBWA, Earnhardt points out that while there have been many wedding postponements, there have been very few cancellations meaning people are rescheduling those special celebrations.

The vast majority of weddings locally up to this point have been postponed. There were some cancellations here and therebut for the most part it was a lot of postponements, she said.

According to Earnhardt there is more than one reason for the low cancellation rate, although most of it is the mystique of the Outer Banks.

I think that the majority sentiment is that they had plannedthis dream Outer Banks wedding, and for most of them, its the vacation of a lifetime. Its not like they want to get married back home in Ohio or Pennsylvania, she said.

There is a financial consideration that she acknowledges also plays a role.

I think that most women sign contracts, so contractually youd have to break contracts [and] lose deposits. Can we get married sooner or do we keep our dream wedding, not lose thousands of dollars, and just postpone? she added, noting that rescheduled and previously scheduled weddings will make for a year like no one has seen before.

I think weve all come to terms with 2021 might be a little bit weird because we have had so many postponements. Theres so much interest from many of our clients that has now shifted, she said. Things are even busier for next year, but not because of popularity, but because of fitting in 2020 brides and 2021 brides into one calendar year.

Earnhardt also points out that because many businesses that are part of the Outer Banks wedding industry are so small sometimes consisting of one person there is the hope they can be resilient enough to survive this challenge.

Dianna makes the same point.

You know, one strong feeling about this is I feel like the entertainment world, the live music business event business, is very resilient, he said.

It is a thought that is underscored by an observation from the OBVB Nettles.

Weve got a lot of smart industrious people and whats the saying, Necessity is the mother of invention? he said. I think thats kind of where we are. People are scratching and clawing to survive, but that makes you reassess the ways in which you can do business. I think that new opportunities are gonna come out of this. It obviously hurts a lot. But I am optimistic for the longer term.

In the OBX events industry, hurt and hope - The Outer Banks Voice

Why astronomy matters in times of crisis – Cosmos

Posted: at 6:47 pm

In an international emergency like the present one, you might expect the science of the stars to be the last thing on peoples minds. The problems facing both individuals and governments are infinitely more pressing than events in the depths of space. People are suffering unprecedented hardships.

Yet throughout history, astronomy has shown extraordinary resilience in times of crisis and has kept public support. That resilience will be needed as a major international project, theSquare Kilometre Array(SKA), is on the brink of construction.

The SKA will be the worlds largest radio telescope, and Australia will play a leading role in building and operating it. How can this benefit a nation focused on containing a global pandemic?

History shows the science of the stars is no stranger to crisis. Indeed, modern astronomy was born in a time of deep conflict, when the northern provinces of the Netherlands were engaged in difficult negotiations with Spain after 40 years of war.

In 1608, the fledgling telescope came out of obscurity in the hands ofDutch spectacle-makers, and its possibilities for astronomy were recognised. When news of this optical novelty reached Galileo Galilei in Padua the following May, he set about improving it and the rest is history.

By the turn of the twentieth century, astronomical infrastructure had become big business, but two World Wars caused major disruptions. New telescope proposals were put on hold as manufacturers turned their hands to gunsights, rangefinders, binoculars and other optical munitions.

During the Second World War, one British company actually buried the 1.5-tonne mirror for a newSouth African telescopein a field to avoid possible bomb damage. While delivery of the mirror was delayed until 1948, the telescope was a success, and is still at work today.

Similarly, in the United States, the 200-inch (5.1-metre) mirror for what was to be the worlds largest telescope at the time, at Mount Palomar, California, was cast in December 1934, but the instruments completion wasdelayed until 1949. Although it is no longer the largest in the world, the Palomar telescope remains among the most effective.

While hardly comparable to a world war, the present crisis constitutes an emergency of grave proportions, and it is important to put a project like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) into perspective.

When completed, the telescope will provide radio astronomers with the largest and most advanced facility available to them. With an expected working lifetime of more than 50 years, it will explore the whole 13.8-billion year history of the Universe, yielding many exciting discoveries.

And spin-offs from the technologies under development have huge commercial potential, with tangible benefits for economic recovery.

One of the reasons governments fund research into the study of the Universe is that astronomy pushes technology to its limits whether it be low-noise radio receivers, complex data management systems or sophisticated computer algorithms. Wifi, for example,had its originsin Australian radio astronomy a quarter of a century ago.

More immediately, the construction of the SKA offers significant opportunities for local companies. The low-frequency component of the telescope will be built at theMurchison Radioastronomy Observatoryin Western Australias remote Wajarri Yamatji country, one of the most radio-quiet places on Earth.

The project has so far spent $330 million in funding from the Australian and WA governmentsestablishing the observatoryand building pathfinder instruments.

And on the wider horizon, big science facilities like the SKA require strong international partnerships, with collaboration among the projects 14 member states representing a further positive outcome. Along with South Africa, where themid-frequency componentof the telescope will be located, Australia can expect its scientific standing to be further enhanced as one of the SKA host nations.

Although technological spin-offs are an important outcome of astronomical research, it is pure curiosity that is the ultimate driver. We are an inquisitive species, and the quest to know is what motivates researchers.

But it also inspires the rest of us with the staggering beauty of the universe and the appeal of scientific understanding. For youngsters in particular, that can prepare them for the jobs of the future, shaping an agile knowledge economy for our nation.

If the lessons of history are anything to go by, the SKA will be unlocking the secrets of the universe long after COVID-19 has subsided into memory. And that will be something of which we can all be proud.

Amazon Video: Will There Be A Season 2 Of ‘Upload’? – TV Shows Ace

Posted: at 4:46 am

Amazon Video dropped all ten episodes ofUploadSeason 1 into their streaming library at the beginning of May. Now that we are nearing the end of May, most have had plenty of time to watch all ten episodes of this truly binge-able series. The question is Will there be a Season 2 ofUpload? Fortunately, weve done a little digging. Heres everything you need to know about Season 2 ofUpload.

Warning: This article contains spoilers from Season 1 of Upload.

If you have an Amazon Prime membershipUploadis a series you want to check out. This is especially true if you happen to like the series calledThe Good Place. Believe it or not, a lot of fans ofThe Good Placewere hesitant to watch this series. They assumed it would be a cheap knock-off. The series, however, does a pretty impressive job of standing on its own.

Uploadis a series that takes a dystopian spin on the after life. The series follows the idea that when you are on your death bed you have the option of uploading to a virtual community. This is because the series sees people as computers. The hope is that one day they will be able to take the data and download it onto a copy of a persons body. They do make an attempt at downloading during Season one And, spoiler alert, it doesnt go well.

The series followers the life of main character Nathan Brown (played by Robbie Amell). Nathan gets into a car accident during the first episode. His on-again, off-again girlfriend at the time makes the decision for him to upload when he arrives at the hospital. Uploaded to the most expensive afterlife Nathan meets his angel Nora Antony (played by Andy Allo). The duo quickly form a forbidden connection.

Nora, however, realizes something isnt right with Nathan. She notices he has memories missing. And, they quickly discover he was murdered. Nathan is a character with one of those personalities fans do not care for at the beginning of the series. He, however, grows on you.

Season 1 ends on a pretty tragic and mind bending cliff hanger. So, the desire for another Season makes sense.

According toDeadline, Amazon renewedUploadfor a Season 2 within a week of dropping the series into their library. Considering the way Season 1 ended And the fact that it was only 10 episodes long, this doesnt come as too much of a shock to those who have watched Season 1.

Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, shares her thoughts on Upload with Deadline.

In Upload, Greg Daniels delivered a smart, cinematic comedy crackling with intrigue and it has clearly delighted our customers who have spent a lot of time in Lakeview this past week. We know our global fans want to see the next chapter with Nathan and Nora so we are greenlighting Season Two and are excited that Gregs passion project has found such a devoted audience.

Executive producer Greg Daniels is thrilled by the opportunity to move forward with Season 2. Heres what he had to say about it:

I am thrilled to continue a great relationship with Amazon Studios and this wonderful cast and find out what happens next to Nora and Nathan and Ingrid and their 2033 world. With this news I can stop drawing my season 2 flip book.

Uploadis a series that has been in the making for a long time. Greg Daniels revealed toDigital Spythat he originally pitched the idea for the series back in 2015. At the time, he had plans for two seasons.

When I pitched it, which was literally back in 2015, I had two seasons broken, and the pitch. I think I could see extending it past that, but at the moment, we are writing a second season. Well see how things are affected by recent events. But yeah, no, its not meant to only be 10 episodes. But its also probably not meant to be 100 episodes.

While Daniels admitted that he was open to the series extending past two seasons, he didnt have plans for that. Moreover, he did confirm he didnt want seasons to be longer than 10 episodes.

In addition to Robbie Amell and Andy Allo, fans expect Allegra Edwards to return as Ingrid and Barclay Hope to return as her father Oliver. Moreover, the end of Season 1 did put down a foundation for Season 2. To say the least, it certainly left fans with a lot of questions.

For the most part, fans are pretty supportive of the relationship between Nathan and Nora. So, they certainly want to see that work out. Season 1 ended with Ingrid appearing in Nathans 2G room. Nathan is frozen because he used all his data up talking on the phone to Nora. Ingrid adds data to him and reveals that she uploaded to be with him. Nathan freaks out so badly that he uses an entire gig of data and freezes again.

The Season ends with a lot of questions. Did Ingrid commit suicide to be with Nathan? Was she killed because she knew too much? Would she fish Nathan out of the 2G life?

Unfortunately, things are a little dicey with producing new episodes of shows right now. COVID-19 has production for all TV shows and movies shut down. So, it may be a while before we see a Season 2. Moreover, it is important to keep in mind that Season 1 just dropped into the library. So, it wouldnt be unfounded for the release date to not be until May of 2021. With COVID-19 delaying things, however, fans could end up waiting even longer.

Have you checked outUploadon Amazon Video? Are you looking forward to Season 2?

Technical Glitches and Lawsuit Dampen Experiment With Remote AP Tests – Education Week

Posted: at 4:46 am

The nation's first-ever remote Advanced Placement exams are going on this week, amid complaints about technical glitches, a lawsuit, and concerns about potential cheating.

The College Board is reporting, however, that after the first few days of testing, most students were able to complete and submit their exams, with less than 1 percent of the 2.9 million test-takers being unable to do so. The board has said it considers the small percentage of incomplete tests a success for such anunprecedented testing experience.

But it wasn't enough to dissuade students, families, and test-equity advocates from filing a lawsuit seeking that the organization score the answers of those who couldn't submit their exams during the first week of testing, as well as over $500 million in compensatory damages and an unset figure in punitive damages.

The biggest concern for many of the test-takers who were unable to submit their tests is that they must take them again.

Sixteen-year-old Dominic Verry, a junior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington, Ky., encountered difficulties with uploading photo submissions of his work for his AP Calculus BC exam, which he had been preparing for since late February.

Verry initially tried to submit photos of his work from his phone, then from his laptop. Nothing worked, however, and the test eventually timed out. He said he'll have to retake the exam in June.

"I felt really good about this exam," Verry said. "I felt it was the best work that I had done in a while, so I was pretty mad when I couldn't turn it in."

What happened to Verry is not an anomaly among students who weren't able to submit their AP exams, as swarms of complaints and concerns regarding similar technical issues had been presented on social media and to the College Board over the course of the first week of testing.

Other technical errors include not being able to submit answers when the time for a question ran out, problems logging into the testing platform, and issues with Internet connectivity.

In response to the many reports, the College Board introduced a back-up submissions process on Sunday meant to provide students who are unable to submit their exam through the standard process with the ability to email their submissions instead.

Effective since Monday, the new process will be available for students throughout the remaining testing dates and through the makeup period. To ensure the security and validity of exams, however, students who couldn't submit their exams during the first week will have to wait until June to benefit from this option.

JoonWoo Park, 16, is another junior from Paul Laurence Dunbar who, like Verry, was unable to submit his answers for the AP Calculus BC exam. After having to adjust to the rapid switch to online learning for his regular schoolwork earlier this year, Park had been looking forward to finishing up his school year after taking this test and two other exams.

Park said that he understood that this was the College Board's first try at online testing and that problems were expected to happen, but he's still not too thrilled about having to continue studying for another test even after school ends.

"I'm glad that there's a second chance, but I'm not looking forward to taking it again," Park said. "It's just stressful. After my last exam, I thought I would be done with school."

In Franklin, Tenn., Paige LaRock, 16, a junior at Battle Ground Academy, is also not looking forward to retaking her AP Chemistry exam well after the last day of classes, which was last Friday. The summer has already begun for most of her friends, while she'll have to continue preparing for her exam.

LaRock was unable to submit photos of her work for the first part of the exam before time ran out.

"I took pictures of my test and sent it to my laptop," LaRock said. "They downloaded to my laptop, but nothing would upload onto the College Board website. I exhausted every option, and nothing would work."

In response to the new backup submissions feature, LaRock added that "there should have been a backup plan put in place at the beginning."

The technical problems came on top of early concerns about potential cheating, as students took the tests at home rather than in supervised school settings.

Right before testing began, Trevor Packer, the College Board's head of Advanced Placement and instruction, announced that a ring of students had been barred from registering for the AP exams on Twitter, after it was discovered they were planning to cheat. Critics said the organization's focus seemed to lie more on the potential for student cheating rather than on ensuring that the exams would fair, equitable, and technically sound.

"The College Board rushed 'untested' AP computerized exams into the marketplace in order to preserve the testing company's largest revenue-generating program after schools shut down this spring, even though they were warned about many potential access, technology and security problems," said Bob Schaeffer, interim executive director of the advocacy group FairTest, in a press release announcing the lawsuit on Wednesday.

While the College Board could now be facing more appreciable consequences for any technical defects, student advocates are worried some of the same problems will plague SAT exams administered by the organization later this year.

"It blows my mind that they just forget the fact that they're mission is to be supporting and providing opportunities to students," said Merrit Jones, president of the advocacy group Student Voice. "I just don't think that they're putting students' needs first."

Mario Mola: I rest studying; is what gives me peace of mind | sports – Explica

Posted: at 4:46 am

Mario Mola (Palma de Mallorca, 29 years old) was passing through Madrid three weeks ago to attend to commitments with his sponsors and participate in a round table on technology and the human factor. On one of the breaks, he attended EL PAS in the garden of the Lzaro Galdiano Museum. The three-time world champion has already contested the first of the nine world series of 2019 (it was with a victory in Abu Dhabi on March 8). This Saturday in the second, which takes place in Bermuda, the faces with Javier Gmez Noya will be seen again after he left the Ironman to return to the Olympic distance.

Question. What is it like to live without a fixed home?

Answer. I guess everyone gets used to it. I still consider my parents house as home when I am back in Mallorca, which is not a long time a year (month and a half). I am lucky to be able to share this type of life with my girl, who is also a triathlete [Carolina Routier] and that in the end makes you turn into homes, even if they are passengers, the places you go through. We do not complain, I consider myself lucky to have made my hobby my job.

P. What is never missing in your suitcase?

R. Laptop, iPad, phone, I always travel with a few technological gadgets. We joke around a lot in the training group: if we go out to train and dont wear the watch that stores all the data, it doesnt count. Or it doesnt count the same. Everything we are training we are uploading to a platform to which the coach has access. Everything that is not saved and is not made with measurement is less credible.

P. He studied finance. What attracts you and where do you get the time?

R. I finished Business and now I have also finished a master in financial markets. I started studying road engineering, what happens is that I didnt have time to do both. In the year I had to make the decision, I won the junior world championship and the balance leaned a little more towards the sport and to take advantage of that talent that I had because I could always return to the studio. But it has always been good for me and it has given me peace of mind to continue studying and training. Now I can live from sports, but it is very ephemeral and unpleasant at times.

P. What is ungrateful?

R. Injuries and then that no matter how well you are training does not mean that you are going to compete well. On the other hand, the level of demand to which you submit the body often involves discomfort and injuries that can cut you off for an entire season.

P. It is striking that an athlete says that what gives him peace of mind is studying.

R. Yes. We train many hours and many others we have to dedicate to rest because if not, you cannot train. You can dedicate that break by wasting time or reading and training yourself in something that interests you. I read things about the economy, business, markets and that entertains me. Instead of wasting time on other things, I do this. It reassures me that not everything is sports, because that way I have a way out.

P. Does triathlon tire more mentally or physically?

R. Physically it is very, very hard, we are not going to deceive ourselves. Everyone would want to be in our place, but afterwards very few people are willing to do what needs to be done to be in our place. They are 24 hours, 365 days a year sport. I dont go out, I dont eat out, every day I go to sleep at 9.30 and I wake up every day at 8. I dont go to shopping malls. I train, eat and rest and that is what I do all year. I stop one week a year. I miss the family, doing things as a family, but we have also all finally understood that this is the only way to be performing at this level. I enjoy this, having a schedule, a planning and I live with it and I know that it is not forever. So: now it is at its peak because in ten years it is impossible that I am doing this.

P. The greatest whim that has been granted in the last three years?

R. For my performance traveling in business. It was something that I never thought about before. He said to me: what sense does it make if Im going to arrive at the same place and at the same time, why should I pay for it. But when you are going to compete and wear so much from traveling, if you can get there having your legs stretched out instead of having been cross-legged for ten hours, so much the better. Beyond that equal spending on technology. If I can choose: I prefer a good laptop than a normal one; phone, if I can buy the last one, I buy it. Im also not very capricious.

P. What triathlete was he when he got to the Blume [2011] and what triathlete is he now?

R. I came as a boy who has a facility to play sports and eager to learn, with everything to do and to demonstrate and over the years I have become more professional, becoming increasingly aware of what this costs. Today I have much more experience than at that time, but I try that many other things do not change because otherwise it would be a bad sign.

P. What things?

R. Having the same illusion, the same desire to do things; Despite the results I have achieved, I dont think that makes me better than anyone or better than I was. I think this is the only way to keep doing things to the best of my ability and ability.

P. Where do you find the motivations after three consecutive World Cups?

R. There comes a time when it is not so much because of the result itself, I have the opportunity to do what I like, I have had relative ease for it or I have worked hard. Now it is a matter of trying not to miss any opportunity to demonstrate that I am working to be the best I can be. It is no longer three, five, I am no longer moved by the numbers but rather to show myself that what I am doing, I do the best I can. On the other hand, unfortunately we had the experience that Carol, my girl, had the accident. When you are aware of these things or when they happen to you, you realize that we complain about things that we should not complain about and that we must take advantage of when we are well because an accident can knock you out.

P. Do you push too hard?

R. No; on the contrary, I like that people expect a lot from me because it is a sign that you demonstrate that you can do well. I try that any external pressure serves to push me forward and not to weigh me down.

P. Carolina said that she is her psychologist and that she comes to you every time she has a downturn. What advice do you give?

R. In the end you go to your environment, family, coaches, the people who are there all year, when things are not going as you would like. I do that too. I insist, I think that many times we give things more importance than it has. I always try to relativize her a lot, I tell her that having a bad career is normal and that it makes you value the good ones; that having discomfort from time to time is normal, so is being tired. The advice comes from a premise: having bad moments makes you value the good ones. It is part of the game and what we do is still a game.

P. When and how did you find out that Gomez Noya parked the Ironman to return to the Olympic distance?

R. I have a very good relationship with Javi, we keep in touch. I was not surprised. He did not tell me directly, but he knew, expected, and wanted. Javi tried the long distance because it seems that the normal evolution of the triathlete and in a few years of impasse that he had after the Rio Games to which unfortunately he could not go due to injury, it seemed that it was like the natural thing. But I think what he really likes is this, the Olympic distance, competing with someone, getting kicked out, recovering something that long distance tests dont have. They have many other things but not that. I was expecting it and Im glad to have you back.

P. They say that his is a double challenge because he returns to the Olympic distance at 36 years old and with much younger and stronger rivals.

R. It is the law of life four years ago in Rio I was young and now I am no longer one of the young. In the training group when I started I was the apprentice and now I am the one setting the example. Javi does not have to prove anything to anyone.

P. In the Rio Games he did his best swimming stretch and even then it did not help him to get a medal. What did you learn from those Games that you think can go well for Tokyo?

R. I have learned that I cannot obsess over the Games. I knew it was one more race and so I should take it. But I was aware that, despite being in my best shape and having done everything possible to reach a hundred percent and be in a position to fight for the medals, sometimes there are things that escape one and That is not why you should be disappointed. I did everything I could, but in the race there are circumstances and factors that you cannot control. I did the best swimming I had ever done, but if those in front come out fresher and understand each other better to some extent one can worry.

P. Are you managing not to obsess over Tokyo?

R. Yes. I only talk about it when asked by the media. I dont think there is anything special to do, but to arrive in the best possible way and then the race will put you in your place.

P. What is it like to train with Joel Filliol and why is he the best?

R. What I liked from the beginning is the simplicity of everything. In triathlon it seems that you have to look for different or very strange things to continue improving and I think that many times we forget to do the basics well. With him we pay a lot of attention to the basic and important things and if there is time and strength to do something else that we think can help us, well, go ahead, but mainly we dedicate ourselves to swimming, cycling and running. I have a good feeling with him. I dont know if he is the best or not, but he has created around him a group of very competitive athletes with a very good work environment. He has managed to train and train well at a very high level is not a stress for any of us; on the contrary we really enjoyed it.

P. Says peak shape is overrated

R. Yes, in line with the reasoning I have given you before, of not wanting to complicate things for us and of not doing special things that do not make sense. If throughout the year I am able to perform at a good level for six or seven months, so that we are going to go crazy doing what to get to a date well if we have no guarantees that this will be the case.

P. Does it motivate you or is it a sport in which the motivation comes from the athlete himself?

R. It comes from us. There are times when the coach needs to motivate you, of course, times when you are not well. It is very important to have someone capable of getting you out of that rut, but you have to do this because you like it. If they are pushing you too much, they are cheating you and it is better that you dedicate yourself to something else, so that you are going to be if not going crazy with something that you really do not like. You do this out of passion and to enjoy it.

P. Dont spend much on social media. Dont like it or dont have time?

R. It is a good combination of both I am aware of this is part of the job. Of private and personal life I do not like to talk or boast, but I do think that sometimes there are things that are not interesting, but of course they are not for me, I am used to them. But people do get their attention and Im trying to give them a little visibility. I know that people like to see what we do.

Customers would have to verify their age by uploading a picture of their valid government ID along with a selfie. The platform would then authenticate the information using an AI-powered system.

There would also be a unique OTP that the customer would have to provide at the time of delivery, stated the news site. Customers must also keep in mind that there is a cap on the quantity of order to keep in line with the permitted quantity as per law.

Users can also view their videos with music from a wide range of genres, from rock to rap. Selections can even be carefully tailored to fit your spot. Most importantly, Tony and Michael developed "music search video sync" from the point of view of a music producer and advertising creative. This transformative tool, which has been needed for years, makes it easy to search music while watching your video in sync.

With an extensive selection of musical tracks by top musicians, this game changing company is full of future chart toppers which are perfect for film trailers, television commercials, social media projects, corporate videos and more. With superior music searches and innovative, user friendly tools, Tony Music is gearing up to take over the competition. After all, TonyMusic.org is a great alternative to typical music search platforms like PremiumBeat.com or artilist.io, which don't currently offer video sync capabilities.

Both Glovaski and Mangurian are making a mark on the music industry by creating a library where you can upload your rough cut and easily match it. After all, these two industry pros have been producing famed commercials and content for years.

Before launching his award-winning agency, Glo Creative, based in the arts district of Miami, Michael was involved in the creation of campaigns which played on-air during the Super Bowl and Olympics, including Subway Eat Fresh, Philips Electronics "Getting Better," Dan Marino-Samsung NFL, Samsung Olympics and Claritin Clear.

His advertisements have appeared in acclaimed publications including The New York Times, Adweek, Advertising Age, Ad Review, Photo District News, ADDY Awards, Creative Ad Review and more. During the course of his career, Michael has worked with some of the world's most remarkable and recognizable talent, such as Annie Liebowitz, Jerry Bruckheimer, Gerard de Thame, Walter Chin, Albert Watson and many more.

Music producer Tony Mangurian is also no stranger to the music business. Over the years, Tony and his team of musicians at TonyMusic.org have recorded and toured with some of the biggest artists in rock, pop, jazz and even classical music. Tony, who was raised in New York's Greenwich Village, known for its creative types and underground music scene, helped establish the band Luscious Jackson and even recorded and co-produced their albums throughout the 90's, including the single "Naked Eye." Working with legendary producer Daniel Lanois, Tony collaborated on Bob Dylan's "Time Out of Mind" - which went on to win a Grammy for Record of the Year as well as Willie Nelson's "Teatro" and Lanois' own album "Shine" and "Here Is What Is." This prolific producer also produced the groundbreaking Chris Whitely album "Rocket House" for Dave Mathews' label ATO Records. Tony, who has always been a trailblazer, has even recorded session work with legends including Sinead O'Connor, Dido, Patti Scialfa, Marianne Faithfull, Emmy Lou Harris, Jose "El Canario" Alberto, Vusi Mahlasela, Derek Trucks and Johnny Lang among others. His production work can be heard on U2's album "No Line on the Horizon" and Neil Young's "Le Noise," which won a Grammy for Best Rock Song. When it comes to his illustrious advertising background, Tony is definitely considered an A-lister. While he has worked with big names and brands spanning various industries, one of his biggest claims to fame is the jingle he created for CoverGirl Cosmetics. "Easy Breezy Beautiful CoverGirl" is easily one of the most recognizable and legendary lines in the advertising world, and has been for almost two decades.

A Guide to TikTok Best Practice in 2020 – The Future of Things

Posted: at 4:46 am

Image by antonbe from Pixabay

Keen to make an impact with your videos on the fastest growing social media platform in the world right now? Then you might be interested in learning more about best practice guidelines for creating TikTok videos in 2020. There is no wonder why TikTok boasts an estimated 800 million global users!

Follow this simple how-to guide and you should notice an immediate improvement in your engagement.

File size, dimension, and aspect ratio all play a role in determining how successful TikTok videos will be. Click here to find out more.

For example, you will need to limit file sizes to 287.6 MB when using an iOS device and an estimated 72 MB when using a device operated by Android. If you are uploading a TikTok video ad, the size can be quite a lot larger usually up to 500 MB.

The best dimensions to work with are 10801920 and the aspect ratio should be the size of a traditional smartphone screen, although many individuals and businesses will use 9:16. Keep in mind, however, that the latter will not take up the entire screen.

You will have a wide variety of options when it comes to file type, especially if you will be recording your video off the TikTok platform and uploading it thereafter. Both .mp4 and .mov files are supported by the app. Additional files, including .avi and .gif are also supported in the case of ads.

Research has shown that TikTok users respond best to vertical video. This is because the videos are viewed on a smartphone. However, it is still possible to upload videos filmed in the horizontal orientation.

While there are many reasons to use the native TikTok recorder to create your videos, there are many other third-party apps that offer even more exciting effects and features that can help to take your creations to the next level entirely. Boosted is a good example. This third-party app is known for its variety of effects and templates which make TikTok video creation a cinch.

The shorter your video is, the better, especially if it will be used for advertising purposes. Most advertisers will aim for a video length of 9 to 15 seconds. Any longer, and there is a risk that the ad will be trimmed by the platform. Other types of videos can be a bit lengthier such as up to one minute if filmed using the native TikTok recorder, and even longer if filmed or created elsewhere and uploaded.

It is still worthwhile to include captions for your videos even though TikTok requires that audio settings to be set as on. That way, anyone who comes across your content will be able to get a general overview of your message even if they do not watch the video from start to finish.

You are now ready to create an awe-inspiring TikTok video that generates the attention and engagement youve always hoped for. Go for it!
