Pop-Up Event at

American Rag

March 31st - Los Angeles

March 28, 2018 - Los Angeles, CA - Emo Nite LA has constantly challenged the idea of what a modern-day music event can be. Additionally, they have continued to push themselves further into the fashion world with creative merchandise and clothing collaborations partnered with diverse and respected names in the industry. Emo Nite LA is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a special tee-shirt collaboration with Rose in Good Faith. "The oversized tee is a nod to emo scenes over the decades with a perfect blend of 90s fit and finish, but with 2000s inspired graphics. Really a contemporary take on the motif" shares Akiva Alpert (ROSE IN GOOD FAITH.)

Inspired by post-hardcore and emo culture, LA-based ROSE IN GOOD FAITH channels elements of millennial nostalgia, fused with bold color ways, and a contemporary flare for the dramatic; launched in 2016 by designers Akiva Alpert and David Teitelbaum. On the collaboration, they share "Rose In Good Faith could think of no other team than Emo Nite to collaborate with. Emo Nite is king at crafting an emotional experience around contemporary nostalgia and like Rose In Good Faith, they are on the pulse of the cultural landscape."

In addition to this collab, Emo Nite LA will be hosting a pop-up event for Rose in Good Faith at American Rag.

Sutherland to hold education panel: Innovations for Students with Special Needs
 

SALT LAKE CITY — Today Sutherland Institute announced an upcoming event, “Innovations for Students with Special Needs.” The panel, to be held Wednesday evening, March 28, is the final of four in a series hosted by Sutherland Institute addressing a range of education topics. As seating is limited, preregistration is encouraged.
 
Panelists (details found below) will include the president of Gigi’s Playhouse (a Down syndrome achievement center), a therapeutic recreational specialist at the National Ability Center, the current president of the Utah Autism Academy, a tutor at the Dyslexia Center of Utah, and the director of the Governor’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities & Business Relations. These individuals are willing to share personal stories, successes and challenges in working with students who have special education needs. Members of the public are encouraged to share this event on Facebook. 
 
An event program can be downloaded here.
 
From Sutherland Education Policy Director Christine Cooke (panel moderator): 
“The community and state-based programs highlighted in this panel have the potential to significantly improve education for students with special needs at a time when we’re realizing that we just aren’t doing enough for these kids yet,” Cooke said. “We need to make as many educational options available to these students as we can – both public and private options.
 
 “If just one parent or policymaker finds a solution or comes up with an idea after attending this panel, it’s a win.”

Her mission is to provide all families and children with special needs all the opportunities they need and deserve.
• Leah Lobato is the director of the Governor’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities and Business Relations with the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation. She promotes the employment and retention of individuals with disabilities in competitive employment by promoting public and private partnerships and efforts.

• Liz Longhurst is a licensed therapeutic recreation specialist (TRS) who brings her bachelor’s in therapeutic recreation and a master’s in adaptive physical education to the National Ability Center in Park City, as well as teaching certificates in state and nationally accredited programs. Liz worked as a physical education teacher in neurotypical and neuro-diverse classes for pre-K through 12th grade.

Christine and her husband have raised their five children in Cedar Hills, Utah, and are now relishing their new role as grandparents.

JW President Tom Fitton Op/Ed: Sexism didn’t defeat Hillary Clinton -- Wild untruths about emails are why she's not Madam President

Source: Fox News

There's a new book out by Hillary Clinton's former communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, suggesting that sexism by American voters – not Clinton's email scandal – was the key factor responsible for Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Given Clinton’s recent comments that Trump voters were backwards and women voters were manipulated by men, it is no surprise to see a Clinton adviser attacking American voters rather than suggesting that voters fairly evaluated Clinton based upon her conduct.
