Babette Café's owner describes walking some customers through how to sign up and scan QR codes. Vessel says that it's too early to say how the new January law is helping its system grow, but since the pilot began last fall, adoption rates have exceeded the company's projections, and it now has a waiting list of cafés that want to join the program. "We have been outstripping those goals every month, and in some cases, by double, " says Dagny Tucker, the company's cofounder and CEO. Dagny Tucker [Photo: Vessel] The new fee on disposable cups is likely to be effective compared to discounts that some retailers, like Starbucks, offer customers when they bring reusable mugs from home. "From a cognitive science perspective, what we know is that people are not inclined to be incentivized by discounts, " she says. "But as soon as you are charging someone something, it creates a cognitive flip in which people immediately stop, like, 'I'm not going to pay extra. '" When Starbucks tested a small fee on disposable cups in London, for example, the use of reusables grew 126%.

"We're trying to create educated citizens and they need to know something about Russian culture, " he said. "To the extent that my work can reach out to our students, that's good. I do my job and I have to believe that it's going to make a difference to someone, because I know that the people who started me on this journey were just dedicated teachers, not art historians. "
According to media reports, the group is a mixture of unaccompanied minors sent by their parents, toddlers traveling with their mothers, and children who are alone and trying to reunite with their parents in the United States. Well, Navarrette does not offer a solution to this warehousing problem. What should be done with these criminals who enter illegally. In any even, The Sandwich does not know that as soon as the juveniles are processed, they are turned over to the Department of Health and Human Services, so there is no fault here with DHS and the Border Patrol. These juveniles have to be held somewhere and a jail cell it is until the welfare department picks them up and starts spending tax-payer dollars on The Sandwiches relatives. Next Navarrette tells more lies: According to immigration attorneys who represent some of these children, many are being held in freezing holding cells intended for fewer inhabitants and shorter stays. These aren't jail cells as much as temporary holding rooms nicknamed "hieleras, " or ice chests.
Last winter, he was invited to photograph the memorial to victims of the Gulag in Norilsk, a formerly closed city that even today requires an invitation to visit. He has been approached about doing a book on Siberia, but is concerned about the time it would take to develop a unifying concept for such a vast area and make the trips to take the photographs. He would like to do a trip to the Russian south and photograph some cities he has never visited, including Krasnodar and Astrakhan. Such a trip would take him in the footsteps of early 20th century photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky, whose early color photographs of imperial Russia prefigured Brumfield's own work. "I'm whittling down this menu of options, but fate has a way of determining these journeys, " he said. "How much I'll be able to get done in my allotted span is very much an open question. I've become almost fatalistic about it now. " Although he says that he has spent more time in Russia than any American who doesn't live here, Brumfield has no desire to move to Russia and do photography full time, because that would mean giving up teaching.
"That has spurred a lot of interest from entrepreneurs, " says Hahn. "I think a lot of times when we are trying to make these transitions that we have to make for our local communities and for the planet, people think of it in terms of hardship. " City staff is working with restaurants, and providing small grants, to help make the transition easier. But she says that it can also lead to new businesses. "People really need to think of these things as opportunities for innovation. "

Yes. That's because that's the job of police. And for the most part, by a vast majority, police do that job well. They're a force for community good. No matter what Black Lives Matter messages, police, by and large, are law-abiding Americans' best friend. Tying police hands by cutting police budgets and removing police from the streets — so as to limit their interactions with the citizenry — doesn't make the community safer. Doling out police roles to other departments, putting city transportation workers in charge of ticketing, leaving a question mark over the proper entity to respond to mental health emergencies or episodes in the public sphere — don't make the community more secure. They do the opposite. They ripple through the criminal mindset as a boon for business. They usher in an atmosphere that makes it unbearable for police to properly work; just watch the departures and retirements and resignations flow. Berkeley may become one of the most dangerous communities in which to live in the coming years.
What Americans know about Russian architecture is mainly thanks to the work of one man, who has photographed the country since 1970 This article from our archives was first published on RI in October 2016 It's not easy to get William Brumfield to talk about himself. For Brumfield, 71, the foremost authority on Russian architecture in the U. S., the focus of any conversation is the work. And the work, first and foremost, is the photography. "The photography has always been the fulcrum for me to convey this knowledge that I have about Russian culture and architecture, " Brumfield said. William Craft Brumfield, photographer and historian of Russian architecture. Although photography has defined Brumfield's career, he did not train as a photographer. He studied Slavic languages and literature at the University of California at Berkeley, receiving his PhD in 1973. Perhaps fittingly, he first picked up a camera on his first trip to the Soviet Union in 1970. The only time a conversation with Brumfield hints at anything personal is when he talks about the connection between the Russian North and his native American South.
