Sports are great for a lot of reasons. First, you may see people elevate themselves to impossible levels either on their own or, even better in a group. Second, they can bring people together in a way that not many things can. If you live in an area where your team is on a huge roll then people bond over it. And even when you see greatness, it’s usually fleeting. Baylor’s basketball team this year was a thing of beauty. Next year? Well, they’ll probably be good. They’re not going to be that good though. So when you find people who tower above their sport, and do so for a long time, it’s great to watch. Secretariat’s stunning win in the 1973 Preakness has never been duplicated. Nothing has even come close. Muhammad Ali was a colossus in boxing and popular culture. People still talk about Babe Ruth, about a hundred years past his peak. Michael Jordan. Wilt Chamberlain. And very high up that list is Brazilian Edson Arantes do Nascimento, but you probably know him as Pelé Pelé did something only a handful of athletes ever do: he revolutionized and redefined his sport. He and his Brazilian contemporaries introduced…

Last year, Google made a change that not everybody agreed with: the company killed off Google Play Music and recommended everybody to make the switch to YouTube Music. For Android Auto users, the whole thing ended up becoming a huge struggle, especially because YouTube Music really wasn’t prepared to deliver a car-optimized experience. For example, users migrating from Google Play Music to YouTube Music discovered they weren’t even able to listen to their own libraries, as the new service only provided such capabilities with a subscription. Google later resolved the whole thing with a free tier, but at the end of the day, there’s still a lot to fix about YouTube Music on Android Auto. One of the most recent problems hitting both the phone and the car experiences concerns the song recommendation engine bundled with YouTube Music. As it turns out, some users receive a suggestion to play the same artist over and over again, even though they didn’t even previously like any of their songs. In other words, YouTube Music keeps insisting on playing the same artist even though the user skips their songs. The only way to deal with the whole thing is to spam the dislike…

Jake Henderson A racist has been jailed for ten weeks after his video targeting p**** went viral. Jake Henderson, 30, from Retford in Nottinghamshire, recorded the video on Snapchat during a televised briefing from Home Secretary Priti Patel in January. In the video Henderson said: “I’m a white man and I won’t be told what to do by a P***.” He added: “I am a white man, still white, with ginger bits, and they want me to take advice from this b**** called Priti Patel and this p*** man next to her. Now as a white man I won’t be listening to people of colour because they’re nobodies in position of power.” Appearing at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on August 12, Henderson was also found to have previously expressed extreme views and had links to a far-right organisation. He was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of sending by public communication a grossly offensive message. One of the men who shared the video, 26-year-old Robert Cumming of Doncaster, was sentenced to six weeks in prison after he captioned the video with “haters gonna be hating” and four laughing emojis. Janine Smith, CPS chief crown prosecutor, said:…

Mask opponents, school board members spar on Facebook as LPS urges calm LPS elementary school students will once again be expected to wear masks when they return to the classroom Aug. 16. GWYNETH ROBERTS, Journal Star file photo Vaccinated teachers and students don't need to wear masks inside school buildings, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday in relaxing its COVID-19 guidelines. The changes come amid a national vaccination campaign in which children as young as 12 are eligible to get shots, as well as a general decline in COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths. The controversy over Lincoln Public Schools’ mask requirement for students through sixth grade moved from the boardroom to social media, where anti-maskers promised to continue protesting and school board members vowed not to be intimidated.“My biggest concern right now is that the controversy has evolved from a sharing of ideas to intimidation and threats,” said school board member Don Mayhew, who posted a screenshot from one of the speakers at this week’s board meeting.  » Read More

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has launched an initiative aimed at what he calls the “growing menace” of censorship by social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, echoing former President Donald Trump’s complaints about alleged bias.Marshall has teamed up with Louisiana AG Jeff Landry to gather complaints from social media users about suspensions, content blocking, and other restrictions they have encountered.“Big Tech is not the Ministry of Truth,” Marshall said in a press release. “It should concern us all when platforms that hold such tremendous power and influence over information wield that power in contradiction of — and with undisguised disdain for — the foundational American principles of free speech and freedom of the press.”It’s the same message Trump has declared in his longstanding battles with Twitter and Facebook. In 2019, Trump’s White House set up its own complaint tool for people to report what they considered incidents of “tech bias.”This year, Facebook suspended Trump for two years after he praised participants in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, calling them “great patriots.” Twitter permanently suspended Trump’s account, which had 88 million followers, saying his tweets about the rioters were likely to incite more violence.In July,…

From: Stacy Palmer Subject: Delta Variant and Fundraising Events; Innovative Idea to Reach More Supporters Erin Hall Good morning.It’s not just gyms, schools, and workplaces that are demanding proof of Covid vaccination — now that might become standard practice at charity fundraising events.Some nonprofits are already carding their donors, Emily Haynes learned as she asked charities how the Delta variant is changing their plans for the fall. Many groups are canceling plans for in-person events — especially large ones — but some are keeping small events, like the backyard party (above) that Hopeful Horizons in Beaufort, S.C., held at the home of one of its board members.But even that idea is feeling risky now, says Erin Hall, the charity’s chief fundraiser. “I felt good about an outdoor in-person event a month ago,” she says. “Now I’m not sure, and I don’t think there are any right answers.”What’s clear from Emily’s interviews is that charities will be relying for a long time to come on what they learned from pandemic fundraising.  » Read More

Is the bullish case for Facebook too far-fetched? Key Points Among analysts, Facebook's top price target is $500 per share. The price might not be as aggressive as you think. In fact, there's a valuation argument for Facebook to be a $500 per-share stock. Although shares of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) have advanced nearly 33% year to date, some analysts are concerned about its prospects. The stock's rise has leveled off after the company's second-quarter results in late July, as investors were concerned about a small decline in daily active users in the U.S. and Canada, as well as revenue guidance. That said, the company exceeded analyst expectations by reporting a year-over-year revenue increase of 56% and a rise in earnings per share (EPS) of 101%. Both were higher than consensus estimates. While there are a few concerned analysts, don't count Credit Suisse's Stephen Ju among them. Following the quarterly report, he raised his firm's per-share price target on Facebook to $500 from $480 and maintained the outperform rating.  » Read More
