First
American to perform on Stage in China,

Troy Cory was among the first
international entertainers and the first
American entertainer to perform in the
People's Republic of China, beginning in
1988. In itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view of
China's closed door policies of the late
70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's
administrative climate in comparison is
much less restrictive now and China's open
door policy enables many entertainers to
introduce themselves to the populace
Chinese audiences. Shanghai

Supreme Court ruling updates
privacy law for a digital
age.
In a victory for privacy in the digital
era, the Supreme Court ruled June 22, that
the Constitution protects tracking data
from a cellphone, requiring police to have
a search warrant to obtain cell tower
records that can show a person's movement
over days or weeks.
By a 5-4 vote the justices said the 4th
Amendment protects the tracking data, even
though these records are collected and
held by a private company, not by the
individual who is the target of the
search.
The decision is hailed as a landmark that
updates the law to keep pace with the way
modern technology has vastly increased the
amount of data that can be easily compiled
and stored.
This nation of 326 million people has 396
million cellphone accounts, Chief Justice
John G. Roberts noted, and each of those
phones regularly sends signals that record
the movement of its often-unwitting
user.
Roberts further said that the "seismic
shifts in technology" would permit total
surveillance of the public, and "we
decline to grant the state unrestricted
access" to these databases. He was joined
by the court's four liberal justices.
The four dissenters, however, warned the
court was venturing into new territory by
extending privacy rights to information
that is not truly private and was not
created or held by the user of the
cellphone. They also worried the warrant
requirement could hamper investigators who
are in search of dangerous criminals.
The ruling most likely will require
changes in the way the FBI and police
departments in much of the country handle
investigations. However, in California the
impact will be less since the state
Legislature in 2015 adopted a law that
requires investigators to have a search
warrant before they can seek cellphone
records.
It is not clear how the ruling will affect
other disputes over electronic
information. Roberts said the decision in
Carpenter vs. United States was a "narrow
one" that applied only to cellphone
tracking data. The dissenters warned the
rule inevitably will expand to shield
other types of electronic data.
The ruling reflects the high court's
increasing concern over the vast amount of
private information that can be obtained
and stored through digital technology --
and often without the knowledge of the
user.
"This is a groundbreaking victory for
Americans' privacy rights in the digital
age.

Munich
International Film festival is the largest
summer film festival in Germany and second
only in size and importance to the
Berlinale. It has been held
annually since 1983 and takes place in
late June.
A geographic focus
this year at FILMFEST MÜNCHEN, and
one that pervades various sections of the
program, is China. Films from this country
include works by a number of audacious
young (screenplay) writers, along with
"ASH IS PUREST WHITE," the latest film by
Jia Zhang-Ke, which is absolutely a
highlight of the entire festival. Common
to all these films is that they and their
creators deliberately position themselves
contrary to the cinematic mainstream. The
result of this attitude is a collection of
films, some of which are awkward, some
avant-garde, none obliging, all with a
powerfully driven vision of art and style.
The fact that the plots of most of these
films are set in provincial China, far
from the familiar megacities, makes it
possible to look behind the scenes, beyond
the China we know.
The
big name here is doubtless Jia Zhang-Ke,
one of the best-known and most celebrated
Chinese writer-directors. His
international breakthrough ultimately came
in 2006, when he received a Golden Lion in
Venice for his masterpiece STILL LIFE,
followed by an award for best screenplay
in Cannes for TOUCH OF SIN (2013). Jia
Zhang-Ke has become a frequent guest at
large film festivals, not least at
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN.
With his latest
film, ASH IS PUREST WHITE, which is
entered in the CineMasters competition,
Jia Zhang-Ke has again delivered a
masterful film, underscoring his status as
a chronicler of his country. In this
capacity, he has time and again dealt in
films with China's development in the past
20 years and with the (societal)
consequences of Chinese turbocapitalism.
Jia Zhang-Ke makes the major changes
happening in the country as well as to its
people a major theme in his current film.
This film takes the viewer on a journey
through idiosyncratic imagery and the
entanglements of organized crime. It is
both a romance and a gangster movie,
melodramatic and trendy at the same
time.

Long Beach, CA -- With summer heat peeking
its head around SoCal's infamous June
gloom, now is the best time to take the
plunge and explore the wonderful world of
Scuba Diving. This year, the 31st annual
Scuba Show invites all Southern
Californians to swim away from the
ordinary and to come out and learn about
something new at the nation's largest
consumer scuba show.
There are divers who stay active into
their 90s. Children as young as 8 years
old may join local programs such as
Bubblemakers, Seal Team and Scuba Rangers,
while 10 year olds can earn a junior scuba
certification. Attendees can learn more
about diving in a safe (and mostly dry
&endash; there's always the try-diving
tank) environment before getting their
feet wet.
Learn and celebrate the history of Scuba:
This year, the show is celebrating the
60th anniversary of the iconic TV show
"Sea Hunt", which is credited within the
industry with sparking a new awareness of
the oceans and the sensation that is scuba
diving to the mainstream zeitgeist.
Attendees will witness "Sea Hunt" actor
and Lloyd Bridges being honored with a
posthumous California Scuba Service Award.
The award will be accepted by his daughter
Lucinda Bridges, alongside pioneer scuba
diver, actress/stunt double and previous
California Scuba Service Award recipient
Rosalia "Zale" Parry, who worked on the
original series alongside
Bridges.
The 2018 Scuba Show will take place on
Saturday, June 23, from 10 AM to 6 PM, and
Sunday, June 24, from 10 AM to 5 PM at the
Long Beach Convention Center, located at
300 E. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach, CA

Singapore,
June 12, 2018 -- First step in what is
considered a long-term goal to complete,
verifiable and irreversible
denuclearization.
Donald Trump and Kim
Jong-un have sat down for
unprecedented talks between the leaders of
two long-hostile nations, as the world
watched anxiously for signs of a peace
deal and an agreement on the
denuclearisation of the Korean
Peninsula.
Trump and Kim met privately from for 48
minutes flanked only by their translators,
then broke for a wider bilateral meeting
with aides, a meeting expected to last 90
minutes, leading into lunch.
Before the start of the private
meeting,
Trump and Kim exchanged small talk in
front of news photographers and television
cameras, saying: "We look forward to
working this out together ... It will be
done."
The
meeting between the United States
president and North Korea's leader,
unthinkable until recent months and
uncertain until June 1, was considered a
high-stakes and politically risky venture
into summit diplomacy by two unpredictable
personalities who have famously exchanged
personal insults and threats of
war.

KCETLink Media Group (KCET) and PBS
SoCal (KOCE), the flagship PBS outlet for
Southern California, have agreed to merge
the companies. The name of the new
organization will be announced with the
closing of the merger, which is expected
to be completed in the first half of
2018.
"This merger has
been in the works for many, many years,"
said Dick Cook, chairman of KCET's board,
who will become chairman of the combined
entity when the deal closes this
summer.
The Corporation for
Public Broadcasting, which allocates
federal dollars to public stations, long
had persued the two stations to unite.
That goal made more essential in an era in
which President Trump and some members of
Congress have threatened to slash funding
for public broadcasting.
Merger talks began
three years ago but were put on hold
because of the Federal Communications
Commission's spectrum auction last year.
More than half of the $19.8 billion
generated in the auction went to
broadcasters that were willing to
relinquish some of their spectrum.
KCET, based in
Burbank, received about $65 million from
the auction, while KOCE collected about
$49 million. That money allowed the
organizations to fortify their finances
and establish endowments for
programming.
The two stations
will fold together their separate assets,
with neither side making any payments to
the other, the officials said. Andrew
Russell, president and chief executive of
PBS SoCal (KOCE) will run the combined
entity, which will have about 130
employees. No layoffs are immediately
planned. KCET has been without a chief
executive since February, when Michael
Riley joined Ellen DeGeneres' company.

An all-volunteer
organization, Pasadena Showcase House for
the Arts (PSHA) is a non-profit California
Corporation whose members donate their
time and talents to produce the annual
Pasadena Showcase House of Design.
Founded in 1948, and formerly known as The
Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee,
they adopted the Pasadena Showcase House
of Design as their annual benefit in
1965. It is one of the oldest,
largest and most successful house and
garden tours in the nation.
A Los Angeles Times article, dated October
14, 1948, reads: "A Pasadena Junior
Philharmonic Committee has been
formed. Composed of prominent
members of the younger set, this
organization came into being at a meeting
and tea on October 8, in the home of Mrs.
John B. Callery, Jr., who has been named
president."
The committee was formed to raise money
for the Continuance Fund (later the Los
Angeles Philharmonic Association) to help
pay for the Pasadena series of concerts of
the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The
original 18 founding members met their
early donation goals with traditional
affairs - a shipwreck party, a casino
night, an assortment of bridge tournaments
and a television party where guests
dressed up like their favorite TV stars,
when television was a relatively new
phenomenon. In those early days,
between $3,000 and $5,000 was raised
annually.
The idea of a Pasadena Showcase House of
Design was suggested in 1965 and the
destiny of The Pasadena Junior
Philharmonic Committee, now known as
Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, was
uniquely changed. With creativity
and hard work from the committee,
community support and enthusiasm - more
than $11,000 was raised the first
year. Admission to the first
Showcase House was $1.50, which included
coffee and cookies, and approximately
7,500 visitors attended. Parking was
in the neighborhood and, in some cases, on
neighbors' lawns. Today, tickets
range from $35 - $60 and approximately
30,000 visitors are shuttled from a nearby
location
"Art Sales" was added in 1970, beginning
with two or three artists. Today,
about 25 vendors participate in the Shops
at Showcase. Refreshments evolved
from complimentary coffee and cookies, to
lunches prepared by members, to a
cafeteria with light fare to a full
service restaurant with an additional
Gourmet-to-Go station and al fresco dining
and sometimes a pub.
Due to the profound dedication of the
members of PSHA who volunteer their time,
the talent and financial commitment of the
designers and the many others who donate
their services, products and money - the
Pasadena Showcase House of Design is now
one of the oldest, largest and most
successful house and garden tours in the
United States.
Parking: Complimentary
parking and shuttle service is available
at Santa Anita Race Track, Gate 6 -

"Lives In Harmony" provides a
safe and secure platform for Kids to
talk to kids about bullying and the
negative effect it leaves
people.
Mark Anderson of
"Lives In Harmony," a pioneer in the field
of conflict resolution, known for his work
on preventing bullying, the effects of
loneliness amongst adolescents,
strengthening family bonds and bridging
the social gap amongst older generation
and younger generation family
members.
Mark's humanitarian efforts and
contributions across the nation and around
the world to eradicate excessive anger
from our schools, neighborhoods work
places and recreational areas can not be
overstated, said John
Cacioppo of the
University of Chicago, pioneer in the
field of social neuroscience. He said that
the Lives In Harmony organization will
become one of the most
influential not-for-profit
organizations ever formed to forge family
bonds and bridging the social gap amongst
older generation and younger generation
family members.
In
the 1990's Anderson studied conflict
resolution. His work completely predicted
how people, particularly adolescents and
teens would start using violence as a
means of problem solving, but was ignored
then overshadowed by the following
Columbine high school massacre.
With
the odds of another American school
shooting becoming more likely,
livesinharmony.org
are ramping up their efforts to reach as
many kids as possible, offering a safe and
secure platform for kids to dialogue
amongst one another about any and
everything for the sake of peace and
harmony.
The United States
has had 282 school shooting since 1990,
thats more than any other
country.
Social isolation
amongst kids.
Anderson
doesn't believe we have a loneliness
epidemic. But millions of kids are
suffering from social disconnection. They
deserve more attention and help than we're
offering today with the rise of
communications technology, including
smartphones, social media and the
internet. A decade ago, companies like
Facebook, Apple and Google pledged that
their products would help create
meaningful relationships and communities.
When starting out "don't be evil" was one
of Google's mottos. Instead, we've used
the media system to deepen existing
divisions, at both the individual and
group levels. We may have thousands of
"friends" and "followers" on Facebook and
Instagram, but when it comes to human
relationships, it turns out there's no
substitute for building them the
old-fashioned way, in person.
Call a loved
one
As humans we need to know that we are
loved, that someone is thinking about us,
someone loves us, someone cares about our
happiness, health and joy. "Lives In
Harmony" prides itself on making sure
people show appreciation for others.
Anderson believes everyone deserves to
experience the jubilation, sincerity,
heartfelt, genuine, profound and honest
reactions of hearing the voice of a loved
one.
Anderson suggests
that we should reach out to loved ones
more. One of four elderly people say that
they never or seldom have someone to talk
to. Over 3.9 million elderly people say
that television is their main company and
young people are addicted to digital
devices.
Melania Trump
recently gave her multipronged effort to
promote the well-being of children a
minimalist new motto: "BE BEST."
"As a mother and as first lady, it
concerns me that in today's fast-paced and
ever-connected world, children can be less
prepared to express or manage their
emotions and often times turn to forms of
destructive or addictive behavior such as
bullying, drug addiction or even suicide,"
she
remarked.

Survey

that are at risk of becoming a bully or
becoming a victim of bullying, also making
sure kid become more aware and take
responsibility for preventing bullying in
their school.

"As a mother and as first lady, it
concerns me that in today's fast-paced and
ever-connected world, children can be less
prepared to express or manage their
emotions and often times turn to forms of
destructive or addictive behavior such as
bullying, drug addiction or even suicide,"
she said in prepared
remarks.
"I feel strongly that as adults, we can
and should 'be best' at educating our
children about the importance of a healthy
and balanced life," Mrs. Trump
said.
The first lady said early on that she
would focus on child well-being. The goal
of her public awareness campaign is to
encourage parents and other adults to
teach children how to be good citizens,
including being kind, not bullying on
social media or anywhere else, staying
away from drugs and taking care of
themselves.
Back in March the first lady hosted
representatives of the major online and
social media companies at the White House
to discuss cyberbullying and internet
safety.
That meeting came more than a year after
she promised to use her White House
platform to discourage cyberbullying. Her
choice was ridiculed almost immediately,
given her husband's longtime habit of
calling people names on Twitter, but Mrs.
Trump said the criticism wouldn't
discourage her from doing what she thinks
is right.
"If we truly listen to what our kids have
to say, whether it be their concerns or
ideas, adults can provide them the support
and tools they need to grow up to be happy
and productive adults who contribute
positively to society and their global
communities," said Mrs.
Trump.
At her statements
at the Rose Garden she said that social
media is too often used in negative ways
and that it is important for children to
learn positive online behaviors at a young
age.
"I do believe that children should be both
seen and heard, and it is our
responsibility as adults to educate and
remind them that when they are using their
voices -- whether verbally or online --
they must choose their words wisely and
speak with respect and compassion," the
first lady said.
The
first lady said she will travel as part of
the initiative.

She was the
matriarchal figure of a political dynasty
that included two presidents - her husband
George HW Bush and son George W Bush.
Her husband, at 93, is the longest-lived
US president. Their son, George, was
elected in 2000 and served two terms as
the nation's 43rd president.
Mrs Bush, who was first lady from 1989 to
1993, had been in failing health for some
time and had declined further medical
treatment.
After the announcement tributes to her
poured in from across the US political
establishment.
Barbara Bush is the second woman in U.S.
history to have been the wife of one
president and the mother of another,
George W. Bush, and the only one to have
seen them both sworn in. She also
campaigned on behalf of another son,
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, during his
quest for the 2016 Republican presidential
nomination.
The only other woman was Abigail Adams,
who was married to the second US
president, John Adams, and was the mother
of the sixth, John Quincy Adams, although
she did not live to see their son
elected.
During her first year in the White House,
Barbara Bush was criticized, for refusing
to speak out on issues that were important
to women. In her 1994 memoir, Bush
published a response :"Long ago I decided
in life I had to have priorities. I put my
children and husband at the top of my
list. That's a choice that I never
regretted." Abortion rights, the Equal
Rights Amendment and gun control were not
priorities for her, she wrote. "I leave
that for those courageous enough to run
for public office."
Above all, the three things that mattered
to her were faith, family and friends.
Campaigner
for
literacy
The nonpartisan social causes she worked
for -- literacy and volunteerism --
stemmed from the tradition of noblesse
oblige that was part of her moneyed
heritage. Her dedication to philanthropic
work was also rooted in personal
tragedy.
When her second child, a girl nicknamed
Robin, died of leukemia at age 3 in 1953,
Bush turned to volunteering as a way to
cope with the loss. Literacy also held
personal significance because Bush had
helped her son Neil overcome dyslexia.
Bush was born on June 8, 1925, in New York
City. The third of Marvin and Pauline
Pierce's four children, she enjoyed a
privileged upbringing in suburban Rye,
N.Y.
Her father was publisher of McCall's
magazine and a distant relative of
President Franklin Pierce. She remembered
her mother, the daughter of an Ohio
Supreme Court justice, as remote.
In 1941, at 16, Barbara met George Bush,
then a prep school senior, at a country
club dance. They were engaged a year
later, just before George went to war as a
Navy fighter pilot. They married on Jan.
6, 1945, while he was home on
leave.
The
couple celebrated their 73rd wedding
anniversary in January this year.
They had six children including a
daughter, Robin, who died of leukaemia
aged three in
1953.
Their first son George Walker was born in
1946, Robin in 1950, John Ellis "Jeb"
Bush, in 1953. Sons Neil and Marvin
followed in 1955 and 1956, and a daughter,
Dorothy, in 1959.
She once dismissed speculation that she
had influenced her husband during his time
in the White House, saying: "I don't fool
around with his office and he doesn't fool
around with my household."
Mrs. Bush also sparked a debate on gender
equality in 1990 with an address to the
all-women Wellesley College.
She told graduates: "Who knows, somewhere
out in this audience may even be someone
who will one day follow in my footsteps
and preside over the White House as the
president's spouse and I wish him
well."
George HW Bush, who served as the 41st US
president, suffers from a form of
Parkinson's disease and uses a
wheelchair.
In 2013, during an interview with CSPAN
for a series on first ladies, Bush looked
ahead to the circumstances that would
close her remarkable life.
"I have no fear of death," she said, then
joked: "Which is a huge comfort, because
we're getting darn close!"
Funeral plans were not immediately
released, but Barbara Bush had said she
planned to be buried at her husband's
presidential library in College Station,
Texas. The couple's daughter Robin already
is buried there.

In the wake of
the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the
33-year-old Facebook CEO will testify at a
joint hearing before the Senate Judiciary
and Senate Commerce, Science, and
Transportation committees on Tuesday,
April 10 at 2:15 pm Eastern time. He'll be
back on Capitol Hill the following day for
another hearing before the House Energy
and Commerce
Committe.
That's when Mark Zuckerberg, the company's
chief executive, will swap out his
trademark gray T-shirts for a suit and
tie, and embark on a two-day questioning
session and is about to join a short list
of chief executives from Silicon Valley
who have stepped into the Capitol Hill hot
seat, albeit not always with success.
On
Monday, Zuckerberg released his prepared
statement for his testimony, issuing an
apology and taking responsibility for its
indiscretions. "We didn't take a broad
enough view of our responsibility, and
that was a big mistake," he wrote. "It was
my mistake, and I'm sorry. I started
Facebook, I run it, and I'm
responsible.
"Facebook is an idealistic and optimistic
company. For most of our existence, we
focused on all the good that connecting
people can bring,"
However, he concedes, "it's clear now that
we didn't do enough to prevent these tools
from being used for harm as well. That
goes for fake news, foreign interference
in elections, and hate speech, as well as
developers and data privacy."
Zuckerberg will lay out his version of
what happened in the Cambridge Analytica
scandal and Russia's interference in the
2016 election as well as Facebook's steps
to remedy the events. "My top priority has
always been our social mission of
connecting people, building community and
bringing the world closer together," he
says. "Advertisers and developers will
never take priority over that as long as
I'm running Facebook."
"I know that a lot of the biggest issues
that we face are fundamentally trade-offs
between different people's interests in
the community: What speech is allowed? How
do you manage the balance between people
wanting to share but people also wanting
to see what other people are doing? All of
these really complex interactions are what
makes, I think, the community work well,"
he said.
Community is a term that Zuckerberg uses
almost unfailingly when discussing the
$450 billion company. But some of
Facebook's other leaders--and some of its
critics--have adopted other terms. Sheryl
Sandberg, the company's chief operating
officer, did not push back when an NPR
reporter called Facebook a "publisher." In
New York last year, the journalist Max
Read compared Facebook to the EU, the
Catholic Church, and a "faceless Elder
God."
Yet Zuckerberg -- who is not only
Facebook's CEO, but also the chairman of
its board and its majority voting
shareholder -- struggled to describe when
his personal thinking about the company
and its philosophy shifted. He could not
articulate what changed his mind or drove
him to adopt a new approach.

Monday, June 11th, marks the
official end of the federal government's
net neutrality rules giving Internet
providers the go-ahead to either block or
slow down websites or prioritize their
content over others'.
With
net neutrality in effect as of now, Senate
Democrats are calling on House Speaker
Paul Ryan to schedule a vote that could
preserve the broadband regulations.
The
US Senate voted on May 16 to reverse the
Federal Communications Commission's repeal
of net neutrality rules, but a House
vote--and President Trump's signature--is
still needed.
Today,
the entire Senate Democratic Caucus wrote
a letter to Ryan urging him to allow a
vote on the House floor.
The
rules that this resolution would restore
were enacted by the FCC in 2015 to prevent
broadband providers from blocking, slowing
down, prioritizing, or otherwise unfairly
discriminating against Internet traffic
that flows across their networks," the
letter said. "Without these protections,
broadband providers can decide what
content gets through to consumers at what
speeds and could use this power to
discriminate against their competitors or
other content." The letter was spearheaded
by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.), Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), and
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii).
FCC
Chairman Ajit Pai led a commission vote to
repeal the rules in December 2017, but the
rules remained on the books because the
repeal was contingent on US Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of
modified information-collection
requirements. The OMB approval came last
month, allowing Pai to schedule the repeal
for Monday, June 11.
Democrats need more votes in
House.
In
the Senate, the entire Democratic Caucus
and three Republicans voted in favor of
restoring net neutrality rules. The vote
was 52-47. Republicans hold a 235-193
advantage in the
House.
A
spokesperson for Speaker Ryan declined to
comment. The House's Republican leadership
doesn't appear likely to seek a vote of
the full House.
Even
if Republican leadership doesn't want to
schedule a vote, the House would be
required to vote on the resolution if a
majority of representatives sign a
discharge
petition.
"More
than 170 representatives have already
indicated their support for the same
resolution in the House." "Two hundred and
eighteen signatures are needed in order to
force the [Congressional Review
Act] resolution to the floor,
increasingly within reach following the
bipartisan vote in the
Senate."
Trump
could veto the bill if it passes the
House.
Republicans
are pushing alternate net neutrality bills
with much weaker rules. One Republican
bill would let Internet service providers
charge online services for priority access
to Internet users and prevent the FCC and
state governments from imposing stricter
net neutrality
rules.

Net Neutrality Rule Repeal
Official
Twenty-two
state attorneys general filed a lawsuit
Tuesday, seeking to block the rollback of
the Federal Communications Commission's
net neutrality rules.
The lawsuit argues
that the FCC's decision in December to
eliminate the rules that prohibited
Internet providers from slowing down or
blocking content, or charging for access
to certain sites, was "arbitrary,"
"capricious" and "an abuse of
discretion."

Back in the
80s, as a goodwill ambassador representing
the U.S.A., Troy Cory and his back-up
dancers and singers, "The Brooke Sisters,"
were the first entertainers from the
United States to appear in a full staged
program in the People's Republic of China
during the Shanghai TV Festival, and
televised on China's National Television
(CCTV), viewed by over 300 million
people.
It was there Cory met Jiang Zemin, then
mayor of Shanghai, and who later became
the 5th President of the People's Republic
of
China.
The '88 Shanghai Concert was the
beginnings of Troy's concert tours in
China for the next two decades. The
concerts, just to name a few, included the
following cities: Shanghai, Beijing,
Anshan, Harbin,
Fuzhou and and Tsingtao
