    International Society for the ISPA Performing Arts TODAY’S FUTURE FOR THE ARTS NEW YORK CONGRESS JANUARY 8–10, 2019 Theatre buildings by theatre people for theatre people. Clockwise from top left: Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House; The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater; Hudson Theatre, Broadway; Studio Theatre, Bristol Old Vic. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF ISPA Dear Friends, ransitions. We all think about them. Some of us worry about them. But we are all impacted by them. As much as we may try to be present each moment of our days, it is the rare person who does not ponder what comes next. Transitions can be as exhilarating as they are scary. In these times of rapid-fire change and volatility (mostly beyond our personal control), it is Teasy to default to a position of wanting to hang on to what we know. Stay the course. Be steady. Reduce risk. WELCOME Yet continuing to do the same thing that works for us today may be the very act that fails us tomorrow. Our Congress Co-chairs Collette Brennan and Steinunn Ragnarsdóttir have given us a brilliantly provocative theme to consider with an array of thought-leaders from within our field and beyond offering varied perspectives on how we might navigate the inevitability of the transitions we encounter. For me, transitions is a particularly apt theme as I prepare to pass on the chairmanship of ISPA to our colleague Tisa Ho. As an ISPA member for 20 years and board member for most of that time, I have been fortunate to work with so many gifted members who have given selflessly in leading ISPA through incredible Transitions.

  • The Action of Selected Isothiocyanates on Bacterial Biofilm Prevention and Control

In addition, the effect of ITCs was also tested on planktonic cell susceptibility, bacterial motility and adhesion. Biofilm prevention and control were tested using a microtiter plate assay and the effect of ITCs was assessed on biofilm mass and metabolic activity. The minimum bactericidal concentration for E. coli and P. aeruginosa was 1000 g mL-1 (AITC) and > 1000 g mL-1 (PEITC), for S. aureus and L. monocytogenes was > 1000 g mL-1 (for both ITCs). AITC caused total inhibition of swimming (P. aeruginosa) and swarming (E. coli) motilities. PEITC caused total inhibition of swimming (E. coli, P. aeruginosa and L. monocytogenes) and swarming (E.

  • Public Poll Findings and Methodology
    PUBLIC POLL FINDINGS AND METHODOLOGY Misinformation around U.S. Capitol unrest, election spreading among Americans New Ipsos poll shows Capitol rioters viewed as “criminals,” “right-wing terrorists,” but views divided sharply along partisan lines Topline Findings Washington, DC, January 19, 2021 – In the wake of the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol, Ipsos took another look at beliefs toward misinformation and election-related conspiracy theories. There is over a 60-point gap between Democrats and Republicans regarding whether Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, a sign of how politically divided this country is, and what facts we are willing to accept. Following the attack last week, most Americans see the people who entered the Capitol as criminals or right-wing domestic terrorists and, as a result, support the suspension of the president’s social media accounts. Detailed Findings 1. Most of the American public views the people who entered the Capitol as criminals or right-wing domestic terrorists. A plurality support social media outlets removing President Trump and QAnon accounts as a result of the event. • Nearly one in three (31%) say they are criminals, and 26% say they are right-wing terrorists. • Just four percent believe they are patriots who were fighting to preserve our freedoms. • News consumption plays a role in views of the events, as does partisanship. • For example, one in four who get their news from FOX or conservative online outlets believe they were left-wing terrorists or Antifa, compared to just 7% of CNN or MSNBC viewers. Forty-five percent of Democrats see these people as right-wing domestic terrorists, while 10% of Republicans feel the same.

    Partisan Platforms: Responses to Perceived Liberal Bias in Social Media A Research Paper submitted to the Department of Engineering and Society Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia • Charlottesville, Virginia In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science, School of Engineering Luke Giraudeau Spring, 2021 On my honor as a University Student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this assignment as defined by the Honor Guidelines for Thesis-Related Assignments Signature __________________________________________ Date __________ Luke Giraudeau Approved __________________________________________ Date __________ Richard Jacques, Department of Engineering and Society Introduction In the United States, public opinion about tech companies’ political biases is divided along partisan lines (Vogels, Perrin, & Anderson, 2020). In the U.S. since 2018, 69 percent of Republicans claim that technology companies favor liberal views, whereas only 19 percent of Democrats say that technology companies favor the alternative view. Over 50 percent of liberals believe that perspectives are treated equally, whereas only 22 percent of conservatives feel this way. Critics who allege bias have organized to promote legislation such as the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act (2020) as well as an executive order (Executive Order 13,925, 2020). Furthermore, conservative entrepreneurs have produced new social media platforms such as Gab and Parler that claim

  • Mark Weinstein Is the Founder and Chief Evangelist of Mewe. Mark Is World Renowned As a Leading Privacy Advocate and One Of
    Mark Weinstein is the Founder and Chief Evangelist of MeWe. Mark is world renowned as a leading privacy advocate and one of the visionary inventors of social networking. Mark’s TED Talk in March 2020: “The Rise of Surveillance Capitalism”. Mark is ranked one of the "Top 8 Minds in Online Privacy," and was named “Privacy by Design Ambassador” by The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada. Mark's articles about privacy and social media have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, NY Post, The Mirror (UK), HuffPost, USA Today, and many others. He has been interviewed on CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, BBC, PBS, etc. Mark has been a featured speaker and social media/privacy expert on the stage at many conferences around the globe, including EY’s Strategic Growth Forum, KNOW Identity Conference, Global Security Conference, GMIC New York, Security BSides Vancouver, and Customer Experience Asia. Back in 1998, Mark created SuperFamily.com and SuperFriends.com, which were ranked by PC Magazine as “Top 100” sites 3 years in a row. Mark sold those companies in the early 2000s and then built an executive coaching company, also giving keynotes and authoring books on personal and professional greatness, titled “Habitually Great", which won 2 Indie Book awards and were endorsed by Stephen Covey. A decade later, as Facebook began to dominate social media, Mark Zuckerberg stated, “Privacy is a social norm of the past,” and that statement made Mark Weinstein's jaw drop. With guidance from MeWe Advisor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of the Web), Mark endeavored to build the next-generation social media experience that gives people all the great features of social media while eliminating spying, targeting, newsfeed manipulation, and undermining democracy.
