POOPU and a Polaroid—basically analog Instagram. When Seattle’s Properly Organized and Orderly Pop-Up sells an item, one member of the founding trio must hover over the Instagram comments section. Her job: identify which customer reacted quickly enough to claim, say, a floral ceramic candlestick by local artist Shannon Hobbs. It’s gone in a matter of seconds. Sarah Chu (@ess_chew) brings hand-dyed clothing (@sei_shop_designs) to the virtual table. It wasn't always this way. Back in some now-distant past, these popups were full-on events, held in places draped with tinsel where, cofounder Shaana Hatamian says, “you could hang out and dance and, like, look at this beautiful flower sculpture.” Late last year, in the thick of Covid restrictions, the popup (which goes by the hilarious acronym POOPU) took their long-planned holiday party to Instagram. Their success might help explain why so many small businesses use the app to sell their wares, if not exactly in the way Instagram intends. POOPU’s approach is almost like waiting in line for a new sneaker release. The site dropped a collection of Seattle designer Bad Ratio’s airbrushed tees promptly at 10am one Monday in November; cofounder Julia Kernerman’s hand-painted nesting dolls followed a few hours later.…

Gorham, NY -- An Ontario County town justice, who retired from that county’s sheriff’s office, is being publicly scolded for two instances in which he publicly supported law enforcement.John Peck, of the Gorham Town Court, was taken to task by the state’s judicial conduct commission for two actions: a Facebook post about his attendance at a “Back the Blue” rally last summer and a picture on Facebook in which he posed in his old sheriff’s office uniform at his daughter’s police academy graduation.It’s the second time the commission has found fault with Peck: he was privately warned in April 2019 regarding another Facebook post he made critical of a candidate for sheriff at the time.Peck should be admonished for his latest displays in support of law enforcement, the commission ruled. That’s equivalent to a public scolding, but does not remove Peck from office. The judge has since been contrite and regrets his actions, the commission noted.“Respondent now recognizes that individuals viewing his Facebook posts, and seeing him in a law enforcement uniform,  » Read More

Arjanmar Rebeta’s “My Father is an Astro-Not” How does one define what a “regional” filmmaker is now that most activities are being done in cyberspace? This was among the challenges that the organizers of this year’s “Cinema Rehiyon Film Festival: Voices from the Margins” had to hurdle when they held it from Feb. 28 until today via the streaming platform Vimeo. “Should a filmmaker be classified according to his birthplace or to where he is currently living? A good example is Bicolano filmmaker Arjanmar Rebeta, who got stranded in Rizal province because of the pandemic lockdown. While he is from Bicol, he is now identified as a filmmaker from Rizal, which was also where he made his film that got included in the festival lineup,” festival director Tito Genova Valiente told Inquirer Entertainment. Rebeta’s comedy-drama short film “My Father is an Astro-Not” is part of Cinema Rehiyon 13. Diversity “While it was a difficulty, it was an interesting one. There was also the problem of contacting people. It’s good that we have two programmers (Elvert Bañares and Adjani Arumpac) who are well-versed in their categorization,” said Valiente. The festival, now on its 13th year, has a total of 119 films.…

Posted: Mar 29, 2021 / 11:30 AM EDT / Updated: Mar 29, 2021 / 12:21 PM EDT ONTARIO COUNTY, N.Y. (WROC) — The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced on Monday that it has determined that John Peck — a justice of the Gorham Town Court in Ontario County should be admonished.

Dive Brief: While managers are key to the "people-first" future, 2020 tested many of their limits; manager burnout rose 78% between Q1 and Q4 of 2020, according to the 2021 State of the Manager report from Glint and LinkedIn. The importance of people-oriented managers can be seen across an organization, LinkedIn said. Employees who find their manager "inspirational" are two-times more likely to feel optimistic about work in 2021 compared to those who don’t, and those who recommend their manager are two-times more likely to believe their company has "a great culture." Managers have significant impact on employee experience, including professional development, work-life balance and belonging, according to the report. To help, organization leaders can ensure managers have access to learning opportunities and equip them with insights to better understand their direct reports, LinkedIn said. Dive Insight: Resilient managers may be the key to better employee engagement, previous studies have shown. According to one such study by BetterUp, published in August, the direct reports of resilient managers reported 52% less burnout and were 78% less likely to leave an organization compared to their peers. Perhaps luckily for employers, resilience can be taught — something that’s become especially important during the coronavirus pandemic,…
