Giving Compass' Take:
· According to Fast Company, this past July was the hottest month ever measured. Experts explain that this pattern of recordbreaking extreme heat would not be occurring in the absence of human-caused climate change.
· What can be done to reduce the increasing global temperature? How can donors invest in efforts fighting global warming?
June of 2019 was the hottest June on record in the planet’s history. But July 2019 was the hottest month on record period, according to new data from the World Meteorological Organization and Copernicus Climate Change program, marginally edging out July of 2016 by a few hundredths of a degree. “Our planet has now witnessed the warmest month in recorded history,” says climatologist and geophysicist Michael Mann, the director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University. “It is part of a worrisome pattern of streaks of broken records that, as our own research demonstrates, would not be occurring in the absence of human-caused climate change.”
In France, Paris reached a record high of 108.7 degrees Fahrenheit late in the month, and elsewhere in the country, some nuclear reactors shut down because water used to cool the equipment became too hot. In Greenland, an estimated two billion tons of ice melted on a single day. In Japan, a heat wave killed at least 11 people and sent thousands of others to emergency rooms. In Russia, millions of acres are burning in massive wildfires. In the U.S., a heat wave made Washington D.C. feel as hot as Death Valley.
Though extreme heat often gets a little less attention than disasters like hurricanes, it kills more Americans, on average, than any other type of disaster. Extreme heat can also shut down critical infrastructure, grounding planes, warping train tracks, and overloading power grids. If greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current path, the problem will get far worse (one recent study found that the number of days that feel hotter than 100 degrees will double by the middle of the century in the U.S.). In some parts of the world, the combination of extreme heat and humidity may become so intense that some areas eventually become uninhabitable.

THERE are many routes to becoming a film producer, but Andrew Ostroy’s is not one that anyone would want to follow.
Two and a half years ago Mr. Ostroy’s wife, the filmmaker Adrienne Shelly, was murdered in her Manhattan office by a man who was working elsewhere in the building and sneaked into her office to rob her. Ms. Shelly was 40 and had recently completed her third feature film, “Waitress,” which starred Keri Russell as a pie-making waitress struggling with ambivalence about her impending motherhood. At the time of her death, though Ms. Shelly didn’t know it, “Waitress” had just been accepted into the Sundance Film Festival.
The success of that film, which after its debut at Sundance went into wider release, was bittersweet for Mr. Ostroy. But through his grief, one thing he was sure of was that the critics who described it as Ms. Shelly’s last film would be proved wrong. Now they have been: “Serious Moonlight,” a new film written by Ms. Shelly, directed by Cheryl Hines and starring Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton and Kristen Bell, is making its debut next Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“There’s nobody on this planet that can really understand how gratifying it is,” Mr. Ostroy, who produced “Serious Moonlight” along with the producer of “Waitress,” Michael Roiff, said of the film’s debut. “It’s just an incredible thing for me and our family and our friends that there’s more Adrienne Shelly that’s coming.”
The film itself, a black comedy about a high-powered lawyer, played by Ms. Ryan, who responds to her husband’s announcement that he is leaving her for his younger mistress by holding him hostage in their weekend house, bears no traces of its complex and at times poignant gestation. But the speed with which Mr. Ostroy mobilized to make “Serious Moonlight,” which was shot within 14 months of Ms. Shelly’s death, says a lot about the mechanisms of coping with loss.
Almost immediately after Ms. Shelly’s death Mr. Ostroy, who runs a marketing company, turned his mind to furthering her work and her legacy. He started a foundation in her name to award grants to female filmmakers, and he began meeting with producers with whom she had already discussed “Serious Moonlight.”
Most of the people he met with were full of enthusiasm but also full of ideas about how the script should be revised, which didn’t appeal to him. His goal was to make the film that his wife would have made, he said, “with one obvious, glaring exception, and that was the director.” So he decided to produce it himself.
He teamed up with Mr. Roiff, and together they came up with the idea of asking Ms. Hines, who had appeared in “Waitress” (and also stars in the sitcoms “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “In the Motherhood”), to direct.
“She understood Adrienne’s writing and sensibilities,” Mr. Ostroy said, “and we liked the idea of helping a woman make that leap from acting to directing.” (Before beginning to direct, Ms. Shelly was an actress, appearing in more than a dozen films, including several by the indie director Hal Hartley.) Since Ms. Hines had never directed a film, she was initially caught off guard by the offer.
“It took me a few minutes to understand that they were asking me to direct and not act in it,” she said in an interview. Despite initial nervousness, though, she agreed.
From there things moved at lightning speed. Mr. Ostroy and Mr. Roiff sent the script to Ms. Ryan’s manager, and within about a week she was committed. Filming took place between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2007, with Ms. Ryan on the set for only 15 days. (Like most producers of films looking for distribution, the producers of “Serious Moonlight” declined to specify the film’s budget. Mr. Roiff said that it was made “on the same scale as ‘Waitress.’ ”)
In a telephone interview Ms. Ryan said that she never met Ms. Shelly but had loved “Waitress” and thought “Serious Moonlight” had “that same wonderful voice, and this time a little darker and odder.”
She said Ms. Hines was playful on the set, piping up from behind the monitor to comment on the characters’ increasingly extreme antics with remarks like, “That is just so sick,” and “You guys are so stupid.” Ms. Hines, who described directing as “the most challenging thing I’ve done besides having a baby,” said that she tried to keep things light.
“Adrienne always seemed to be having a good time while she was directing, and that was important to me,” she said.
Of course there were moments when the absence of the person whose words were being brought to life was sharply felt. Ms. Hines recalled being overcome at one point during the shoot when her 5-year-old daughter, Catherine Rose, visited and played with Ms. Shelly’s and Mr. Ostroy’s daughter, Sophie, who is also 5. “It just really made me sad that Adrienne wasn’t there,” she said, adding that she and Ms. Shelly had bonded over having daughters the same age.
For Mr. Ostroy the filming was also hard at times, particularly because Ms. Shelly, like any writer, took material from her life.
“There were moments of Meg and Tim that were very much Andy and Adrienne, and that’s still difficult to see when I see the film,” he said. But two and a half years have provided distance and some degree of healing, he added. At this point he can appreciate the film “without having that almost simultaneous, visceral, emotional reaction.”
As for the future, Ms. Shelly left several other completed scripts, and Mr. Ostroy said he planned to spend the next few years producing them, beginning with a family drama called “The Morgan Stories.”
“Adrienne’s legacy is very important,” he said not just for him, he added, but for Sophie.
“Our daughter needs to know that her mother was a highly talented, accomplished person who gave a lot through her work and her life and, through her foundation, even after her death,” he said. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done.”

An Approximation Algorithm for a Shortest Dubins Path Problem
- Additional Document Info
- View All
Copyright © 2016 by ASME. The problem of finding the shortest path for a vehicle visiting a given sequence of target points subject to the motion constraints of the vehicle is an important problem that arises in several monitoring and surveillance applications involving unmanned aerial vehicles. There is currently no algorithm that can find an optimal solution to this problem. Therefore, heuristics that can find approximate solutions with guarantees on the quality of the solutions are useful. The best approximation algorithm currently available for the case when the distance between any two adjacent target points in the sequence is at least equal to twice the minimum radius of the vehicle has a guarantee of 3.04. This article provides a new approximation algorithm which improves this guarantee to 1+ π/3 ∼ 2.04. The developed algorithm is also implemented for hundreds of typical instances involving at most 30 points to corroborate the performance of the proposed approach.

In 75 instances between 2003 and 2009, electronic interference was cited as a possible cause of airplane dysfunction, according to a report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Seasoned travelers, and even travelers who fly more than once or twice a year, sometimes find themselves jaded by the rules of the air: required safety demonstrations, buckle your seatbelt whenever you’re seated, and turn off electronic devices such as cell phones and smartphones. But the IATA report, obtained by ABC News, provides some evidence that heeding that last rule, about electronic devices, would be to everyone’s benefit.
According to the confidential study, in a survey spanning six years with respondents from 125 airlines, there were 75 documented incidents in which airline pilots and crew believed that possible electronic interference affected flight controls and navigation systems. In 26 of those instances, autopilot, autothrust and landing gear were disturbed, while 13 of the incidents produced electronic warnings, including “engine indications.” In four out of ten of the events documented, the suspected cause was a cell phone.
(GRAPHIC: Airline Travel: Extra Fees)
The report, according to ABC News, stresses that no direct correlation is being made between electronic interference from personal electronic devices and plane malfunctions. Instead it provides examples of narratives provided by airplane crew such as this:
“Auto pilot was engaged.”
At about 4500 ft, the autopilot disengaged by itself and the associated warnings/indications came on.
[Flight attendants] were immediately advised to look out for PAX [passengers] operating electronic devices.
… [Attendants] reported that there were 4 PAX operated electronic devices (1 handphone and 3 iPods).”
When the flight attendants made the passengers shut off those electronic devices, the flight continued without further incident. Other descriptions detail how “a clock spun backwards and a GPS in the cabin read incorrectly while two laptops were being used nearby.” And another flight altitude control readings increased rapidly before a flight attendant made an announcement for passengers to turn off any electronic devices. After the warning, the readings went back to normal.
Some experts argue that these anecdotes are not enough to draw conclusions about how electronic devices affect planes. They say that the problem of interference could be more apparent on older planes, which sometimes lack the proper internal shields that protect highly sensitive electronic sensors hidden in the plane’s passenger area. Boeing engineers working with ABC found that signals from electronic devices can, in fact, hit and disrupt these hidden sensors.

KANKAKEE - Daniel Howerton led six players in double figures with 19 points as Calvary Baptist Academy topped Kankakee Trinity, 90-56, Saturday in the third-place game of the Association of Christian Schools International East Regional Basketball Tournament.
Tommy Horine added 16 points, Josh Borst and Grant Touma 13 each, Zach Howerton 11 and Jack Campbell 10 for Calvary Baptist (9-16), which suffered an 83-54 semifinal loss to Grace Baptist earlier in the day.
Borst's 22 points led the fourth-seeded Crusaders against No. 1 seed Grace Baptist, with Zach Howerton adding 15.
"The first game was rough. We had a couple of runs to keep it to 13, 14 points in the third quarter, but we kind of ran out of steam," said Calvary Baptist coach Michael Touma. "The third-place game is tough to play in mentally. But we came out and shot the ball extremely well."
The Crusaders advanced to the semifinals by defeating Cornerstone Christian, 66-46, Friday night. Grant Touma scored 16 points and Horine 12 in that contest.
Calvary Baptist concludes its season Tuesday with a home game against Arthur Mennonite.

After its long journey to Mars beginning this summer, NASA’s Perseverance rover will be powered across the planet’s surface in part by plutonium produced at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have discovered a better way to separate actinium-227, a rare isotope essential for an FDA-approved cancer treatment.
A novel approach developed by scientists at ORNL can scan massive datasets of large-scale satellite images to more accurately map infrastructure – such as buildings and roads – in hours versus days.
IDEMIA Identity & Security USA has licensed an advanced optical array developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The portable technology can be used to help identify individuals in challenging outdoor conditions.
Gleaning valuable data from social platforms such as Twitter—particularly to map out critical location information during emergencies— has become more effective and efficient thanks to Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.

Actress Fatima Sana Shaik, who grew in public view after starring in Aamir Khan’s blockbuster Dangal, as Geeta Phogat, caused a stir on social media earlier when she posted a selfie of herself in a risque dressed Saree on her Instagram and had her fans and other people commenting on how great she was looking in the selfie. The selfie has more than 60 thousand likes on Instagram and has been admired across the social media. Fatima rose to prominence from Dangal and made waves over the tinsel town because of her performance as Geeta Phogat.
Fatima has gone on record to say that she is proud that she worked with Aamir khan and that she had to train for hours to get in shape and work for the wrestling scenes in the movie.
Previously, Sahik had also posted a photograph of herself in bikini at a beach during the month of Ramzan, and had gotten trolled because people thought it was disrespectful for muslims to wear such clothes on such auspicious occasion.
Fatima doesn’t seem to care, though as she captioned her new selfie with “Shameless selfie” giving it back to the trolls, though this time it was rather tame than the first time. All we have to say is that she looks beautiful and nobody should be insulted for what they prefer to wear.

Harbor seals often swim quietly along the shore and inhabit shallow areas of estuaries, rivers, and places where sandbars and beaches are uncovered at low tide. They are probably the least vocal of all pinnipeds; in air, they may snort, hiss, growl, or sneeze – often as a threat to another seal, but they vocalize mainly underwater. Seals may live a maximum of about 25 to 30 years, but males tend to have a shorter lifespan, likely due to the stress of fighting during breeding seasons.
Unlike most pinnipeds, adult harbor seals are usually solitary and rarely interact other than to mate. However, they often haul out in loosely organized groups which may include both sexes and all ages. Hauling out occurs any time of the day or night, but time is often limited by the height of the tides.FACTOID: Harbor seals can fall prey to stellar sea lions. And I thought they were pals!!

Asking because I recently switched from Floor Press back to Bench Press after floor pressing for about 5 months. First session benching in 5 months, even though I had made good gains on my floor press, I only hit a 10 lbs PR (estimated).
Keep in mind, I was speed benching once a week, although with much lighter weight.
So, do you think that I waited too long before switching back to Bench Press? Or (what I’m hoping) do you think since I haven’t benched in the 3-5 RM for so long, my body is trying to “get used to benching again”
How often do you guys rotate exercises?
Note: During the 5 months, I did gain bodyweight. I also noticed increased tricep developtment[/quote]
when you take an exercise out of your repertoire, it is not uncommon on your first workout back to that exercise that you cannot lift as much as you used to (in your case, only 10lbs PR). It’s because, in lamest sense, you have to “relearn” that movement, sorta.
The gains you got from the floor press will carry over to the bench press (it’s still working your pressing muscles). Just give it time, as your body gets used to the movement again, your strength should shoot up.
If not, then it might be because the weak part of the movement of the bench press (the part that hinders your gains in it) is actually the lower half of the movement, but this is probably not the case, unless you are a very advanced in that exercise and NEED to specialize the area just on the lower part in order to move up in weight.
But just disregard this last paragraph, that would be overanalyzing it at this point(just the first workout back to BP)
Just keep with it.

For over three years, while on my way to school, I have regularly noticed slum dwelling women collecting water in bottles of bisleri that are attached to long wooden sticks by dipping them into the manholes on the sides of roads, to wash their clothes. I’ve always wondered who these women were, where they came from and why do they not receive sufficient water supply in their own residences.
I can recollect another instance of a rickshaw driver yelling at his wife over the phone for finishing off their water in 3 days and complaining about the high prices of water. On further enquiry, he told me that the water they receive at their home is nowhere close to potable and therefore, he finds the need to purchase drinking water from cheap sources to satisfy his family’s needs.
Mumbai has a population of 15 million, more than half of which lives in slum settlements. It is worth remembering that, according to official data, residents of Mumbai get 158 litres of water per day per person on an average. Statistics such as these, however, conceal the reality of the excessive inequality in the distribution of basic services and the consequent hardships faced by the poor who collect water from public standpipes, manholes or borrow from nearby public structures to get their daily household chores done. The difficulty, humiliation, inconvenience and stress they go through in scrounging for or buying this water often goes unrecorded.
What the local slum dwellers have to say about this inadequacy is that, in spite of the existence of Acts that enables local authorities to provide resources and services such as water, electricity and so on in slums, certain government agencies that provide land for slums do not permit the BMC to carry out ‘improvement’ of slums on their land. The role of politicians becomes very critical for these people because, for them, access to these basic resources is more through political, rather than other channels. The system is such that when politicians need support, they receive it through patronage and favours or promises of these.
The question is not just about availability of water, but of clean, uncontaminated water. This scenario can be seen in most major cities of India, the population explosion and enhanced need from the higher income groups seems to be a huge reason for this lack of supply of water to the underprivileged. Simultaneously, the alarming rise in pollution levels in surface water bodies and even in groundwater is adding to this situation. Even a school going child is aware that water and sanitation is a basic human right, as stated by the UN. However, in spite of the existence of various non-political bodies and NGOs that assist slum dwellers with their resource- related problems, this issue seems persistent. As Abdul Sharan, a professor at TISS, Mumbai rightly states, “What we need is a better water policy in larger cities that can cater to the growing needs of citizens. The prevailing ‘adhoc-ism’ in protecting, enhancing and conserving water needs to be done away with”.

'An Garda Siochana has lots of things to change... dissent is not disloyalty' - Garda Commissioner
Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan has said measures are being implemented to ensure that members of the force who wish to report malpractices can do so in a “proper” environment.
An Garda Siochana is working with bodies such as Transparency Ireland, and it has installed a protection disclosures manager and appropriately trained staff to deal with complaints, the commissioner told RTE News At One today.
Ms O’Sullivan said it is “very important that the pub can be reassured that there are lessons that have been learned… that the public can be reassured that there are now adequate levels of investment to allow us to start implementing some of those changes that are very badly needed.”
She acknowledged that there were criticisms in the O’Higgins report “around incident management, about ensuring that gardai are properly trained, that there are supervisory management practices in place to ensure that people are actually being supervised properly and being supported in doing the job they have to do, and providing the appropriate levels of service – particularly to victims of crime”.
“We now have the opportunity to put those measures in place because we do have the investment,” she said.
An Garda Siochana “[has] lots of things to change”, Ms O’Sullivan added.
“One of them is our approach to people who want to have a different voice and who have a different voice and who want to bring things to our attention.”
“I have said from day one that dissent is not disloyalty.”
Some steps have been taken to ensure that anyone who wishes to report an incident “can have that right” to raise their issues, she said.
“We have put systems in place to ensure that people can do that.”

The authors consider the time-dependent Schroedinger equation on a Riemannian manifold A with a potential that localizes a certain subspace of states close to a fixed submanifold C. When the authors scale the potential in the directions normal to C by a parameter e 1, the solutions concentrate in an e -neighborhood of C. This situation occurs for example in quantum wave guides and for the motion of nuclei in electronic potential surfaces in quantum molecular dynamics. The authors derive an effective Schroedinger equation on the submanifold C and show that its solutions, suitably lifted to A, approximate the solutions of the original equation on A up to errors of order e 3 |t| at time t. Furthermore, the authors prove that the eigenvalues of the corresponding effective Hamiltonian below a certain energy coincide up to errors of order e3 with those of the full Hamiltonian under reasonable conditions.

Food Relief Efforts
“I was hungry, and you fed me.” The words of Jesus in Matthew 25 echo in the minds and hearts of those who are touched by the need for food relief in Zambia.
Day after day the people who live in and around Namwianga Mission scan the skies looking for signs of rain. For two years they have seen empty skies as their crops failed. Last year some areas did receive rain, but at the wrong times. Farmers planted and replanted—some as many as three times—only to watch their crops shrivel and die. Now the region is entering its third consecutive year of drought. Authorities estimate that there has been a 60% crop failure this year. Subsistence farmers in rural villages depend on their crops to feed their families, and once again they face the prospect of hunger.
Besides crop production, the drought also affects the country’s unending need for clean drinking water. Communities without wells rely on streams, rivers, and ponds as their water sources, and as these dry up the residents must travel farther and farther to find water—water that is often contaminated. In the driest of times, people resort to digging holes in dry streambeds to collect the muddy water that seeps to the top. At Namwianga, the already limited supply of clean water from wells is often disrupted by power outages, pipeline breaks, and mechanical problems with pumps.
Last year we told our donors about the need to feed the hungry, and the response was immediate and generous. We have already sent $90,000 to purchase 6,500 50-pound sacks of cornmeal, the mainstay of the Zambian diet. Each bag will feed an average family for three weeks. We planted huge drip irrigation gardens at Namwianga and shared produce with those in need.
We also drilled wells at Namwianga and in nearby villages. We worked on a filtration system and a central storage structure to provide a consistent and reliable water supply for the students, orphans, and staff at Namwianga Mission and its surrounding communities. This project is still in progress and needs to be completed as soon as possible.
The news of Namwianga’s concern for the needy has spread far and wide. The poor of Southern Zambia will walk for days to come to Namwianga. They come by the thousands because they have heard that the hungry are being fed. Men and women bring empty pots and jugs with them in hope that there will be something to take home. They bring their own hunger as well as the fear of what hunger does to the old, the weak, and the young. They come for help because there is nowhere else to go.
When those who work at Namwianga provide food and water to the needy, it is always done in the name of Jesus. Those who receive help also hear that Jesus offers Bread and Water from an eternal source that will never dry up or run out. An invitation to follow Jesus accompanies our distribution of food and water.
Once again we are reaching out to you and asking for your financial support. We need to purchase cornmeal, and we need to distribute it in remote areas where roads are rugged. We need to train farmers how to use drip irrigation so that their crops can flourish even in times when rain is scarce. We need to plant and sustain acres and acres of gardens at Namwianga so that we can share produce with the hungry. We need to drill more wells and complete the water storage and distribution projects that are in progress.
Our goal is to raise $125,000 for food relief and water provision as soon as possible. We need your generous support in order to deliver these basics of life in the name of Jesus. As always, your donation is tax deductible, and you will receive the appropriate documentation.
May the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35 be an encouragement as you give generously: “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink.”

Stuck in Park
As NYCFC’s potential stadium project in the South Bronx supposedly teeters at the edge of collapse, Chris Campbell talked to the parties involved and found out that the stadium is not quite dead.
As first reported by The Outfield, the community board vote that was supposed to kick off the development planning and public review process for New York City FC’s planned South Bronx stadium was postponed, filibustering the long idled project and souring local community support.
According to New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) representatives at that meeting, the delay was due to the Yankees making last minute changes to the terms that laid out exactly how the soccer club’s development team would be acquiring necessary plots of land for stadium construction.
The Yankees did not provide any representatives at that meeting, but have since gone on a media offensive to dispute those claims. Yankees President Randy Levine told the Wall Street Journal that it was the city who was reneging on promises in the term sheet. NYCFC color commentator and Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network employee Ian Joy also pontificated to those tuning to Sunday’s match against Orlando City that it was the city who was the guilty party of the deal falling apart.
In response, NYCEDC President Rachel Loeb countered that it was the Yankees that were not committing to promises they had made. Recent reports, using mostly sourcing from the Yankees, contend that the development deal is dead and that NYCFC is pursuing stadium options in other boroughs.
In town hall meetings this past weekend, NYCFC Chief Operating Officer Matt Goodman told season ticketholders, “The Bronx has always been our first choice, but at this point, we have to look at every potential scenario that can facilitate our success.”
When asked if the club was willing to look in other boroughs for a stadium location, Goodman responded, “Yes. We now have to look at all options on the table. 100% yes.”
On the heels of these statements and claims, The Outfield decided to take a closer look at the details. After in-depth conversations with Yankee President Randy Levine and the NYCEDC, here’s what we found after reading the fine print:
1. Who are the parties involved? What is their role in the stadium project?
In order to obtain necessary plots of land for the planned stadium development NYCFC’s development partners, Maddd Equities and the New York Yankees, are looking to sever a lease between New York City Industrial Development Agency (NYCIDA) and Bronx Parking Development Corporation (BPDC) for underutilized parking garages that are part of the Yankee Stadium Parking System (YSPS). NYCIDA is administered by NYCEDC and changes to this lease would require NYCEDC to sign off.
When the parking garages were being considered to be built, NYCIDA issued over $237 million in municipal bonds to BPDC to finance construction. The majority of those bonds are now held by Nuveen Securities, the investment arm of financial services conglomerate TIAA. Any agreement on severing the lease will require Nuveen’s sign off as well.
The Yankees have third-party beneficiary rights under the current lease as the lots and garages in the YSPS are legally required to be made available to supply parking for Yankee Stadium events per the Parking Facilities Agreement (PFA) signed in 2006 during the construction of the new Yankee Stadium. Since building a stadium on the underutilized YSPS lots and garages would decrease the available parking facilities under the PFA, the Yankees would also have to sign off.
2. Is the stadium deal dead?
No, it does not appear so.
The Yankees, NYCEDC, and Nuveen all signed a non-binding term sheet in December 2020, agreeing to key terms and conditions to be incorporated into new leases that would split the parking lots and garages into those that would be used to build an eventual stadium and those that would remain to provide the required parking for events at Yankee Stadium.
Talks are stalled right now amid disagreements on the exact interpretation of certain clauses in the term sheet. However, all three parties have said that they are willing to get the stadium project back on track. Even more confusedly, they have all said that they are committed to the terms as laid out in the December term sheet.
NYCEDC said in a statement provided to The Outfield, “We have been and remain committed to all parties to reach a resolution that benefits the community and the city.” A NYCEDC spokesperson separately confirmed to The Outfield that NYCEDC was willing to move forward with the terms in the December term sheet.
A Nuveen spokesperson told The Outfield, “Nuveen remains committed to the transaction set forth in the term sheet and looks forward to a continued strong relationship with the Yankees and the City.”
In a conversation with The Outfield, a senior Yankees official mentioned that they would be open to a deal based on the terms from the December term sheet, as long as they receive their guaranteed number of parking spots.
3. Who prevented this deal from continuing forward?
NYCEDC delayed the vote telling Bronx Community Board 4, “We don’t want to bring a proposal to you for a vote when we haven’t resolved these open issues with the parties”. However, that was done on the basis of the Yankees seeking to change terms prior to that community board vote to include a guaranteed number of parking spots.
4. Everyone said they were good with the term sheet, so what happened?
The Yankees claim that the term sheet provides for a guarantee of 5,611 parking spots to be provided for Yankee Stadium events. This guarantee appears to be accurate based on the December term sheet:
Levine told The Outfield, “We were totally prepared, ready to go on June 22nd [Community Board 4 meeting], based on that term sheet with the guarantee of [5,611 parking spots]”. Levine asserted that NYCEDC- not the Yankees- were reneging on the term sheets.
The Outfield spoke with representatives from NYCEDC, who countered that the 5,611 number was inaccurate, never agreed upon as being guaranteed, and the Yankees agreed to not contest the asserted capacity of the lots.
NYCEDC claims that the PFA only guarantees 600 parking spots for Yankee Stadium events. The rest of garages and lots that make up the YSPS must provide parking for Yankee Stadium events, but not at a guaranteed number of spots. NYCEDC contends that providing a guarantee of a specific number of parking spots in these lots would represent a new right not already in the lease.
During the conversation with The Outfield, NYCEDC representatives also stated that the 5,611 spots referenced in the December term sheet is an inaccurate number. When the PFA was drafted in 2006, four parking garages yet to be constructed were assigned expected parking capacity values. However, after construction, these garages did not have the capacity as detailed in the PFA.
The Outfield has confirmed through review of Certificates of Occupancy obtained for these lots that the actual capacity is 429 spots less than the total provided for in the PFA. This results in an actual capacity of 5,182 compared to the 5,611 included in the term sheet.
NYCEDC representatives told The Outfield that the Yankees agreed in the December term sheet that they would not contest the number of parking spaces to be provided. A footnote that is repeated in several locations in the term sheet, signed by all parties, notes exactly that:
Yet it appears as though the Yankees are doing exactly what they agreed not to do. Senior Yankees officials told The Outfield that they are looking for a guarantee of 5,611 parking spots and have hinted that the amount is now lower than that number. NYCEDC representatives told The Outfield that the Yankees have proposed 5,500, but not quite down to the 5,182 actual legal capacity.
4. So how much parking do the Yankees actually need?
The current YSPS includes a total capacity of 9,127 parking spaces. The whole South Bronx stadium project came into existence due to the established fact that the parking facilities as part of YSPS are incredibly underutilized.
According to a January 2020 presentation given to Community Board 4 by NYCEDC, average parking occupancy within the YSPS was 36% (3,186 parking spots) in 2018, with a single game day high at 65% (5,933 parking spots).
From parking attendance reports obtained by The Outfield, only four game days in 2015 (the home opener, two Subway Series games against the crosstown Mets, and the wild card playoff game against the Astros) used parking from YSPS above the proposed reduced capacity of 5,182. No games came remotely close to using the full parking capacity of YSPS of 9,127.
5. What are the potential solutions?
Somebody needs to give in.
The Yankees are dead set on having a number of parking spots guaranteed for Yankee Stadium events. One solution could possibly see the Yankees waive the legal guarantee of an established number of spots, similar to what they have now, and keep the commitment to parking limited to making the remaining lots and garages in the YSPS available for Yankee Stadium event days.
On the other hand, Nuveen could provide the Yankees a guaranteed number of parking spots in exchange for a number closer to the actual legal capacity of 5,182.
The two sides haven’t spoken in weeks while the fight over the terms has moved into the media. NYCFC is rumored to now be looking for a stadium location in Queens in what seems to be a leverage move against the city.
Ultimately, the warring parties need to get back together and figure this out. This deal and potential development would provide way too many benefits to all of the stakeholders involved for it not to happen. ❧

Many cities dont have sightseeing tour buses, and certainly none that match up to the fancy buses that offer guided tours in New York City. Why dont more New Yorkers and tourists take advantage of bus tours in NY? Some New Yorkers are simply too busy enjoying their favorite attractions that they fail to see all New York City sightseeing bus tours have to offer. As for tourists, there are so many attractions to do and see in New York, that you may have never thought to visit. For first time visitors, and repeating tourists, the best remedy for getting all out of your visit, is to see all New York has offer on inexpensive guided tours in New York City.
With roughly a million people living in New York City alone, natives and tourists should take advantage of the somewhat, lesser advantages of taking bus tours in NY. For one, no one on New York sightseeing bus tours has to worry about parking (except for the bus driver of course); or the expensive fee to park. New York Natives and visitors alike do not have to worry about getting lost trying to find the Empire State Building or Washington Square Park.
Cheap is the operative word for New York City sightseeing bus tours. While bus tours in NY are cheap in cost, they are nothing less than exceptional quality guided tours in New York City. For the customers convenience, these New York sightseeing tour buses provide hop on and off passes inexpensively. Even if one doesnt wish to visit Chinatown, see Little Italy or take official guided tours in New York City, this tour is still an inexpensive way to travel and save money, by not buying gasoline or paying car insurance. Natives can also learn some about the history of the famous attractions around the city they live in.
Tourists should take bus tours in NY, because they’re a great way to have fun, see the city sights (on top of a double-decker bus), and save money to spend on all the other attractions, such as a Broadway musical or fine dining at one of New Yorks best eateries. New York sightseeing bus tours give tourists the opportunity to visit and see the city lit at night without feeling overwhelmed by expensive travel packages. If tourists prefer indoor attractions, they can get their photo taken next to one of the many wax figures at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum! Whatever your preference is, a NY bus tour has the option for you.
Arent bus tours in NY boring? They certainly dont have to be! There are many fun things to do besides travel around on guided tour in New York City. Did you know, at least one of the companies that offer New York sightseeing bus tours also offer packaged excursions? This mean natives and tourists alike can enjoy a boat ride of the Shark, a Water Taxi or even a yacht called a Zephyr? Alternatively, guests can fly with 30-minute helicopter ride, circling the Statue of Liberty, which also allows guests to see great views along the Hudson.
Tourists who are not feeling that adventurous and prefer to stay indoors can enjoy a visit to Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum or pose with wax figures at Madame Tassauds. This is why New York sightseeing bus tours are perhaps, the most under-valued gems of the City.

A key part of Gig Nation’s original concept was the inclusion of monthly editorial themes. Special feature articles centered around a specific topic each month. To highlight important topics of discussion, spotlight specific events, venues and event people, and try to push boundaries for the future of our industry in a collaborative forum.
The original plan was to launch Gig Nation at the start of July but, in practice, that wasn’t meant to be. The official launch was postponed to the end of July and so turned my focus from the July issue of our Editorial Calendar to our pre-determined August issue: Women in Events.
One or two of my inner circle, people whose counsel I wholeheartedly rely on and respect, warned me with the best of intentions that focusing solely on an entire gender for my maiden-feature issue might be segregating my audience straight off the bat. I could understand and appreciate the reasons behind this advice, stewed on it for a couple of weeks trying to weigh up the pros and cons in my own mind. I came to the realisation that my concern was very poignant in and of itself! Perhaps this was fate at work. “The August theme stands.”, I said. “Let’s kick-off with Women in Events.”
Let me be clear: Gig Nation is an inclusive platform for all genders, all people from all walks of life who work in public events. I wouldn’t consider my personal views on feminism as radical. I believe in gender equality, not women having more rights than men. But all evidence shows that, despite the undeniably major strides we’ve made together as a modern society, there is still work to be done. And with that indisputable fact in mind, damn right we’re dedicating our entire month to Women in Events – and you guys should especially take the time to read our features too!
Reflecting on my own career to date, I wouldn’t change any of my experience for the world. I am deeply passionate about our phenomenal industry and have had the absolute pleasure to work with so many interesting, innovative, and forward-thinking individuals as part of it – I couldn’t imagine myself in any other field where I’d be attributing so many #lovemyjob hashtags to my social posts!
That said, I have battled my own issues with my industry at times throughout the years. Working in the male-dominated world of set-building, staging and AV for the majority of my career, I have absolutely witnessed gender bias firsthand. I have been guilty of defending such biases too, putting it down to “it’s just the way they were brought up” or “it wasn’t intentional so it’s okay”. But the fact of the matter is, it’s not okay. Our staff writer, who writes our “Gender Gaps in the Events Industry” feature this month, sums it up best: “Cultural changes need to incorporate the unlearning of gender biases and stereotypes”. We all have a role to play in changing old, ingrained culture, and “not meaning to be” gender biased is just not an acceptable excuse anymore.
In my own experience, the idea of having a technical aptitude often had masculine connotations attached to it. Women do well in producer roles, operations, staffing, marketing, business administration, but there is largely a lack of female representation across the technical delivery aspect of events. Not just in the physically demanding roles like rigging, scaffolding, carpentry and so on, but also in technical white-collar positions; engineering, CAD drafting, production and technical management to name a few.
Jane Becker, a successful artist and scenic workshop manager, writes in her personal essay feature this month that “workshops are traditionally blokey places” whilst Jo McAvenna, a Gold Coast movie worker interviewed by Abi Tabone for our special feature on female riggers, calls entertainment rigging “the quintessentially male dominated trade”. It would be great to see a larger balance of genders across these industries in future.
You’d be hard pushed to find a single woman in these kinds of roles seeking sympathy or help, and they certainly aren’t interested in being victimised. I love how rigger, Gillian Huxley, put it in our female riggers feature, saying: “Truthfully I have never been ‘the girl over there’, or ‘that woman who does this job’ or the ‘token female’. I am pretty certain I’m a rigger.”
Her reaction is unsurprisingly steadfast. After all, to be a female succeeding in such a testosterone-heavy “trade” would undoubtedly take some ‘balls’, right!?
Incidentally, I watched a hilariously accurate TikTok the other week which beautifully described the gender bias we keep alive today by continuing to use the phrase “you’ve got balls”. And it’s so true when you think about it! Our culture calls you a “pussy” if you’re weak or feeble, but “you’ve got balls” if you’re strong or brave. In reality though, when you really take a moment to think about the anatomy of those gender-based words; men’s genitals are notoriously sensitive and easily hurt, whilst a female’s genitalia is strong enough to be (literally) ripped open during childbirth! You see the bias? It’s phrases like this that will take some real effort from all of us as individuals – me included – to “unlearn”.
Whilst advocating for gender equality is the underlying message of dedicating an entire issue to Women in Events, our primary directive is to showcase inspirational women, who are all industry role models in our humble opinion, and to help influence the next generation of female leaders who will be kicking major goals for our industry in future.
You will find this issue full of great advice and experiences from an eclectic assortment of influential females. Kate Smith’s advice on being a female leader in our industry is edifying. Discussing democratic management styles and the importance of paying attention to admirable leaders you’re working with right now, she explains the value of a little self-reflection to further your own career.
At the time of writing, I’m sitting at my desk in the corner of my living room looking out over Botany Bay in Sydney. I was musing how few airplanes I see these days from my balcony, but to be honest I’m far more concerned by the fact that we’ve just had our lockdown extended by another 4 weeks. Mental health is just as important as anything else, and it’s heartbreaking to see how isolation and the lack of event work during this pandemic has been wreaking havoc on so many lives and livelihoods.
It’s quite a contrast to the silly season ‘burnout’ that we’re all usually experiencing around now. Would I be crazy if I said I miss that? Well, yes that would be crazy. Jamming the majority of our work schedule into a seasonal few months, back-to-back events and all the unsociable work hours, the ‘burnout’ is a very real issue that affects our industry workers. Support Act’s National Welfare Coordinator, Anne Jacobs, writes an informative piece for us this month on “How to beat burnout”. I think we all can, and should, take a moment during this downtime to explore what each of us view as work-life balance, and prepare ourselves for when we do finally return to the madness!
As tennis star, Serena Williams, once said, “Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on”. In the spirit of that statement, I hope you enjoy this month’s special features championing our awesome Women in Events.
Come on boys, I challenge you all to get involved in this too! Write to me at [email protected] and tell what you think about this month’s features!
And stay tuned for next month when we turn our attention to the Environment. We’ll be exploring current environmental management in the events industry and how we can do better for the future.

Potassium is an important part of everyday life. It’s responsible for multiple functions within the human body. Insufficient intake of this essential mineral can lead to hypokalemia, a condition characterised by low levels of potassium in the blood. Many people suffer from hypokalemia and don’t even know it. For this reason, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the symptoms of potassium deficiency.
10 SYMPTOMS OF POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY YOU JUST CANNOT IGNORE
MORE ON POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY
Apart from certain diseases, malabsorption disorders and medications, inadequate potassium intake through your diet can cause hypokalemia. Having a poor diet consisting of unhealthy foods or meals can severely deprive you of the nutrients you need. Some people opt to rely on dietary supplements, but the best way to meet your daily nutritional requirements is through the food you eat.
Luckily, plenty of foods are rich in potassium. Good sources of the mineral include bananas, apricots, squash, prunes, potatoes, beans, lentils, spinach and salmon. The amount of potassium you must consume each day depends on your sex and age. According to the National Health and Medical Research Council, men over 40 years old must take 3,800mg per day.
1. ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHM
An abnormal heart rhythm, otherwise known as cardiac arrhythmia, is one of the more life-threatening symptoms of potassium deficiency. An irregular heartbeat is a key characteristic of this condition.
Studies have shown that abnormal heart rhythms can be caused by hypokalemia. One study published in Pediatric Nephrology presents a young girl with cardiac arrhythmias suffering from Bartter Syndrome and severe hypokalemia. Another one found in the American Journal of Medicine shows a higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with potassium deficiency.
Potassium plays a key role in digestive function, particularly when it comes to contractions. When you don’t have enough of the nutrient in your body, these contractions may weaken, resulting in constipation as food moves too slowly. Of course, it’s important to note that constipation may also be a sign of other conditions. Given this information, you mustn’t immediately jump to any conclusions.
A common symptom of hypokalemia is fatigue or weakness. Potassium plays a role in several cellular processes within the human body. A lack of potassium impedes these processes. As a result, you feel extremely tired or fatigued.
It’s normal to feel tired every now and then, especially after strenuous activity or a long work week. However, excessive or chronic tiredness can be a sign of something more serious.
4. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The heart requires potassium to regulate blood pressure, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that low levels of the mineral can lead to hypertension. A study published in Clinical and Experimental Hypertension concluded that blood pressure rises when potassium levels go down. Another study found in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology indicated that potassium helps control blood pressure.
5. MUSCLE CRAMPS OR WEAKNESS
Potassium is a major player in the regulation of muscle contractions. Insufficient intake of this mineral can lead to involuntary spasms or cramps. Your muscles may also begin to feel weak, as a study published in the Southern Medical Journal found. Another study published in the Western Journal of Medicine investigated potassium deficiency as a cause of tetany, a condition characterised by intermittent muscle spasms.
6. MUSCLE PAIN
Muscle pain is another one of the muscle-related symptoms of potassium deficiency. In more severe cases of hypokalemia, rhabdomyolysis may even occur. This condition is marked by the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscles — a process that can bring you immense muscle pain.
A study published in the Indian Journal of Nephrology investigated rhabdomyolysis as an outcome of potassium deficiency. Another study, found in the World Journal of Clinical Cases, presented a 30-year-old female suffering from rhabdomyolysis following severe hypokalemia. Rhabdomyolysis may also involve vomiting and can be particularly hazardous as it can lead to kidney failure.
By now, it’s fairly obvious that potassium is a critical factor in the control of muscle contractions. When left untreated, hypokalemia can worsen and cause you to lose muscle function, leaving part or parts of your body paralysed.
Another sign of potassium deficiency is hyporeflexia, which is characterised by little to zero reflexes. It must be noted that paralysis and hyporeflexia aren’t symptoms exclusive to hypokalemia. If you experience one or both of these, it’s best to consult a professional.
More commonly known as tingling of the hands and feet, paresthesia is one of the signs of hypokalemia. This is because potassium plays a key role in proper nerve function. When you’re deficient in the mineral, you nerve signals can decline, causing a tingling or numbing sensation in your hands and feet.
It must be noted that isolated bouts of paresthesia may be nothing to worry about. However, if you begin to experience it constantly, it may be due to a potassium deficiency or something else entirely. In that case, it’s a good idea to consult your physician.
9. RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Potassium is needed for the proper skeletal muscle function. A lack of potassium can affect this role, which can lead to respiratory depression. Hypokalemia has also been linked to respiratory failure or arrest.
A study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine presented a 36-year-old woman that went into acute respiratory arrest, which resolved after potassium chloride was administered to her. Another study found in the Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology arrived at a similar result when a 34-year-old man suffered from respiratory failure due to rhabdomyolysis — another symptom of potassium deficiency.
10. SHORTNESS OF BREATH
Trouble breathing can stem from various conditions. But if you haven’t been eating a lot of potassium-rich foods, you may want to look into hypokalemia as the culprit.
As discussed previously, the essential mineral helps regulate muscle contractions. Your lungs both contract and expand as you breathe. When this process is impeded, you begin to have difficulty getting air in and out of your lungs.
All things considered, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that potassium is a mineral you can’t live without. It performs several functions within the body, all of which can be hazardous to your health when in short supply. These symptoms of potassium deficiency must be enough to scare you into adopting a healthier diet.
