Delegates for RNC have their hotel assignments, marking 'major milestone' for planning of convention

As Milwaukee prepares to host the 2024 Republican National Convention, a major milestone has been reached --sleeping arrangements.

Delegates from 50 states and six territories were informed last week of their hotel assignments, businesses participating in a virtual information session on Thursday were told.

"The starting gun just fired," said Reince Priebus, chairman of MKE 2024 Host Committee.

Delegations can now start making plans to indulge in Wisconsin bars, restaurants, hospitality, entertainment and other businesses, he said.

"You're going to have about 50,000 – I'd call it full-time guests – people who are staying here," said Priebus, who served as chairman of the Wisconsin delegation in previous conventions.

"If you think about it, if you're chairman of one delegation... we're not just going to the Fiserv Forum at night and going to the show that you watch on TV and going back to the hotel," he said.

"What I had to do as chairman of one delegation is I had to build out my entire week's activities."

No details of hotel assignments provided

Participants in Thursday's session were not told which delegation is staying at which hotel. The convention is scheduled for July 15-18 in Milwaukee at Fiserv Forum.  

Priebus said delegates will now start planning meals, activities and social gatherings for each day during the convention.

"Imagine you got 56 of these delegations and each of them have their own set of things that they need to do," Priebus said.

Anne Hathaway, chairwoman of Committee On Arrangements for the Republican National Committee, said the committee is working the delegations to make the experience smooth "and spur additional visits."

"There's not a one-size-fits-all," Hathaway said. "We look at the hotels, we look at the community and we try to make sure that we fit the pieces together so that each state and territory can deliver a first class, a very special week for their delegations."

Hathaway said having the hotel designations settled at this point is "a huge milestone for us. It wasn't done in 2016 until May."

"We are at least four weeks ahead of schedule," Hathaway said. "Things will start to come together and contracts will begin to be signed."

Committee looking at sites for 'unique events'

Hathaway added the committee has made 179 connections for "unique events." The committee has toured 121 venues and completed 354 site tours.

Milwaukee-area businesses hoping to capitalize on the convention submitted questions in advance to be answered by Hathaway and Priebus. 

"Our team has connected our hotel partners with the delegation points of contacts, so we're solidifying what their plans are for that week," Hathaway said. "As I mentioned, there's no 'one model.' Every state and territory does it differently."

More: With RNC security plans still in the works, Milwaukee boat companies uneasy about potential lost business

Nearly 1,000 area businesses have signed up for the MKE 2024 Host Committee’s vendor directory.  

With the convention three months away, businesses have been anxious to receive more direction on how to handle the influx of visitors to the area . 

Businesses have long had the convention marked on their calendars since it was announced last year.  

Traffic to and from the convention is expected to be congested, and the committee expects to use roughly 400 extra buses and shuttles to ferry delegates and other visitors around the area.  

The RNC has tasked Transportation Management Services to source as many local and regional transportation companies as possible for the event. So far, the RNC said it has one third of the buses from Wisconsin companies.  

Security zone details will come during the summer

Security around Fiserv Forum is going to be tight during the convention with some surrounding businesses likely to be within the security zone . 

Hathaway said there is no timeline for the specific details of the security zone.

"I'll be candid, I don't think it will be as timely as you all would like it because this is a situation where we're not going to tell the bad guys and give them enough time to figure out how to be disruptors," Hathaway said, adding that specific details may be released "close to the end of June, maybe early July."

Hathaway said the committee is working with Milwaukee Police Department, the mayor's office, and Secret Service to make the convention secure.

Hathaway said the Secret Service will reach out to businesses located within the security perimeter.

"They usually go door-to-door to meet one-on-one with different businesses in order to work through a plan with each (business) to be able to maintain their business operating and ensure that we limit the disruption as much as possible," Hathaway said.

The Secret Service also plans to host briefings for businesses.

Hathaway said the briefings "are really, really important for those that might be affected."

"There's going to be a lot of questions with regards to coming and going, with regard to parking," Hathaway said. "And the Secret Service will be happy to answer them and try to make things as clear as possible during those briefings."

On road closures in downtown Milwaukee, Priebus said "there will be some disruption, for sure."

"The goal is to be as least disruptive as possible and also as safe as possible. It's a national security special event, Secret Service takes over control," Priebus said. "There's positives and negatives to all of this as far as where you sit inside, outside (the perimeter) and all the people that are coming and going."

HSC English Assignment: Use TikTok!

by MAYA MCFADDEN The new haven independent

A TikTok-focused English project for High School in the Community (HSC) sophomore Diana Robles brought her to the realization that “when I read a news article, I sort of just believe what it says.”  Now she thinks twice — about where the story was published, and about its credibility and potential bias. Robles and fellow HSC students gathered in a first-floor classroom on Wednesday to debrief about a recent project they worked on in their English 2 class taught by Amy Brazauski. The project was focused on news literacy, lateral reading, and identifying credibility and bias in local news articles. The students were each tasked with selecting a written news article of interest, researching the author and news outlet, and deciding whether or not the piece included bias. Then they took their work to TikTok to make a video about the articles.  One discussion group included sophomores Sarina, Jonaily Colon, Nene Murphy, Jonah Rosenberg, Diana Robles, Justin Welch, and Japhet Gonzalez. Students like Welch said the project was interesting because it wasn’t your typical English class assignment on Google Classroom and instead it was more creative, allowing him to learn how to make a TikTok video for the first time and learn about editing.  “Once we leave high school, we’re going to have to look into credibility on our own instead of it being given to us,” said Sarina, who declined to share her last name.  Rosenberg added that looking into credibility and bias is common in his HSC classes, though being allowed to use TikTok in class is not. 

Students projects included looking into articles published by such news outlets as The Arts Paper, The New Haven Independent, The New Haven Register, and The CT Mirror. They selected the pieces to dive deep into based on their personal interests and experiences.  Students used TikTok, Cap Cut, and Canva to create their projects.  Click here, here, and here to watch some of the videos created by students.  Colon focused her project on youth homelessness in New Haven by looking closely at a November Independent article that discussed the rejection of a homeless youth shelter on Hazel Street. “Homeless rates in New Haven are getting worse,” she said. “It was empowering because this is a real thing.”  Rosenberg did his project on a WTNH article about a car crash that happened in front of a Hamden restaurant. He pointed out that the article mentions being a developing story, “Check back for updates,” but it was never updated despite him waiting weeks for more information.  Rosenberg picked the story because it reminded him of an experience he had at 11 years old when he witnessed a large crash in the Spring Glen neighborhood of Hamden, involving several teenagers as drivers and passengers of the vehicles. He later learned that as a result of a similar incident in 2008, a teen driving law was passed by the state limiting the number of people who can be in the car with young drivers. Robles used a New Haven Register article about a visiting nurse in Connecticut killed in a halfway house while visiting a patient. Robles picked the article because her mom was a visiting nurse who quit her job because of the unsafe environment she had to be in for work.  Sarina used an Arts Paper story about an Afghan refugee woman named Roya who reported domestic violence from a family member to the West Haven police before she died. Advocates accused police of not following up on those reports during a protest in November. Other projects focused on coverage of Black business celebrations like Black Wall Street, local mural projects raising mental health awareness, and gun violence in New Haven.  Putting TikTok In A Positive Light

Students learned several lessons from the project.  Robles said before the project she would typically believe anything she’d read in a news article without questioning who was telling the story and how. “I wasn’t thinking about it constantly until now,” she said.  Colon said she learned to not just look at one source when it comes to learning as much news as possible.  The students added that the TikTok project brought a refreshingly new perspective of the app to the classroom, which typically isn’t the case. Welch said the “experience of high school is about distancing from social media.” However, for the first time, Brazauski’s class encouraged use of TikTok to support creating.  The project was nice to work on, he said, because the learning experience was relevant to growing mediums like TikTok, it helped him learn how to make videos, and it allowed for creativity.  “Usually a teacher talks about [TikTok] in a bad sense,” Robles said. “Amy brought it in a positive sense.”  Robles described TikTok as a way to express their opinions and gain knowledge in an interesting way. She said the project made class work a lot more interesting.  “A lot of teachers don’t like to talk about it,” she continued. But “the reality of it is we’re going to be using it a lot.”  Sarina noted that when teens are strongly told “no” they’re prone to rebel, and so shedding a positive light on a “tool that is very much prominent in our lives” is necessary to avoid this.  Rosenberg added that he appreciated that, despite Brazauski not having much experience with TikTok, she “connected with us.” “Work is usually just reading and writing and repetitive, but this was a really unique project,” Robles added.  The students agreed the project allowed them to talk about their opinions when they’re typically told “you can’t put yourself into your work.”  In some of the students’ TikToks, they not only reported on the details of the article but also included their opinions on the larger topics of youth homelessness and refugee advocacy. Many included their own ideas for solutions to such issues.  The project also raised questions for the students and Brazauski around whether news stories should be coupled with trends or whether that would take away from an outlet’s credibility or professionalism.  Brazauski came up with the TikTok project this year while working with a colleague who is a history teacher. The two have focused their class lessons for 10th graders on research skills and credibility. This includes teaching students to develop lateral reading skills.  The project also connects to the school’s Social Justice Symposium project, which Brazauski spearheads and tasks students with focusing in on a social issue, researching that issue, and then making an impact on that issue.  Should News Outlets Use TikTok? When asked if more news outlets should use TikTok as a way of relaying news, students said it could help to broaden an outlet’s audience and allows for more creativity.

Brazauski agreed with the addition that TikTok should introduce a validation system for news reports and a way to provide additional links with videos to prove the information presented is factual.  In Robles’ TikTok, she used a Minecraft background with her video as a voiceover reported the news about the visiting nurse and she pulled photos from the news article. Students like Gonzalez said this made the video more interesting while avoiding taking away from the news. Sarina agreed, and Brazauski compared it to growing up doing homework in front of the TV.  Robles said the incorporation of TikTok trends came about because of her own interest in watching TikToks that do this.  These trends where “TikTokers” share true crime stories while applying their makeup or baking cookies often provide the audience with a calming backdrop when discussing heavy issues, some students mentioned.  Brazauski emphasized the importance of English classes being balanced with novels and literature and projects like this because “we’re in a media rich world.” “We need youth to engage in rich literature, but what’s to say other media can’t be rich or richer?” HSC Magnet Resource Teacher Dianna Carter said.  Brazauski has taught at HSC for the past four years and spent the previous four years teaching in New Milford. The creativity with instruction allowed to teachers has helped HSC have a lack in staff turnover, Carter, who has been teaching for 16 years, said.  HSC is a school that educates its students to be social justice advocates through instruction that is scientifically backed and reflective of what our world currently is, she added.

FDA Releases Data from the Agency’s 2023 Testing of Talc-Containing Cosmetic Products for Asbestos

Cosmetics constituent update.

April 5, 2024

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released the results of the agency’s 2023 sampling assignment, testing talc-containing cosmetic products for the presence of asbestos. The testing was conducted using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Asbestos was not detected in any of the 50 samples tested in 2023.

As background, AMA Analytical Services, Inc. (AMA) was awarded a contract to test talc-containing cosmetic products for the presence of asbestos. AMA was selected because of its expertise and experience in asbestos testing, and because it is accredited for analysis of asbestos in bulk materials through the National Institute of Standards and Technology administered National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NIST-NVLAP) .  AMA has similarly been awarded contracts with FDA to test talc-containing cosmetic products for the presence of asbestos since 2018.

Cosmetic products were selected and purchased by FDA, and then samples were blinded and transferred to AMA for analyses. The products were selected based on various factors including type of talc-containing cosmetic product, price range, popular products on social media and in advertisements, products marketed to children, products marketed to women of color, and, if any, third party reports of potential asbestos contamination.

To see FDA’s previous talc sampling results, please visit FDA's webpage on Talc . As required under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act of 2022 (MoCRA) , FDA intends to promulgate proposed regulations to establish and require standardized testing methods for detecting and identifying asbestos in talc-containing cosmetic products.

Revealing the Assignments of the Diamondbacks Top Prospects in 2024

Find out where the organization's top prospects will play at the start of the 2024 season!

• Author: Michael McDermott

In this story:

Saturday night marked Opening Day for the Diamondbacks affiliates in Low-A, High-A, and Double-A. The organization's Triple-A affiliate, the Reno Aces, have already completed five games so far and are 2-3. With the full minor league season under way, here are the assignments for the organization's Top 30 prospects entering the 2024 season.

MLB: Arizona Diamondbacks

RHP Bryce Jarvis (No. 12), INF Blaze Alexander (No. 25)

Both Jarvis and Alexander made the D-backs Opening Day roster , the former as a long man and the other as a reserve infielder. Jarvis has already appeared in two games this season, pitching to a 4.50 ERA in four innings. Alexander has played in mostly a platoon role, with all four starts coming against lefties, with a .417/.500/.667 slash in 14 career plate appearances.

Upon making the Opening Day roster, both Jarvis and Alexander will be removed from the next prospect list update.

Triple-A: Reno Aces

INF Jordan Lawlar (No. 1), RHP Slade Cecconi (No. 4), OF Jorge Barrosa (No. 16), LHP Blake Walston (No. 18), RHP Cristian Mena (No. 21), RHP Justin Martinez (No. 26)

Three of these prospects will be in Reno's rotation for much of the season. Cecconi's long term role with the organization is a bit unclear, based on comments from manager Torey Lovullo. In February, he referenced Cecconi's stuff beginning to fall off around the 65 pitch mark and when the right-hander was optioned to Reno Lovullo did not commit to the idea of him starting. Barrosa saw brief MLB action this season, hitting .200 with a double and an RBI in three games against the New York Yankees.

Walston will be in his second year with Reno. He struggled with walks and command for much of the 2023 season, then turned in another poor outing in his first start of the year. He'll need to show more progress this year in order to earn an opportunity to pitch in MLB. Mena might be the biggest sleeper amongst all the pitching prospects in the organization. It's quite possible a year from now he could be the top pitching prospect, depending on if the velocity gains he made this spring last throughout the year. Combined with swing-and-miss secondary stuff, Mena is the one guy to keep a close eye on in 2024.

Justin Martinez still awaits his chance for another big league opportunity. The big right-hander averages 100+ MPH on a 4-seamer and sinker. The 4-seamer is a relatively straight pitch in terms of action. However what elevates his profile is an above-average slider and a splitter that's at least plus-plus and pushing 80 grades. The splitter is his go-to pitch for swings and misses, although the slider is also good at missing bats as well.

Lawlar was expected to be the everyday shortstop in Reno until a thumb injury from picking up a baseball in defensive drills. He's now recovering from surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right thumb and will be out until June.

Double-A: Amarillo Sod Poodles

LHP Yu-Min Lin (No. 5), RHP Dylan Ray (No. 9), 1B Ivan Melendez (No. 10), OF A.J. Vukovich (No. 15), C J.J. D'Orazio (No. 22), RHP Yilber Diaz (No. 26)

Lin is a smaller left-hander listed at 5'11" 160, with a wide arsenal of pitches to throw at hitters. His sinker sits 89-92 MPH to go with a plus changeup and two usable breaking balls. Dylan Ray will begin the year on the 60-day injured list, with a transaction date of March 22nd, with no update as to what the injury is.

Melendez and Vukovich both bring impressive power ceilings, but questions about their ability to hit. Melendez will need to cut his strikeout rate from 34% to stay a prospect, while increasing the walk rate and number of balls put into play. Vukovich has made a somewhat successful transition from third base to the outfield, increasing his chances of sticking on a major league roster. He'll need to be more consistent with the bat to get promoted to Reno.

J.J. D'Orazio profiles as your quintessential backup catcher who has enough of everything to stick at the position. He's a bat-first type of catcher who really struggled in his first stint in Amarillo after lighting the Northwest League on fire to start last season.

Yilber Diaz is a power arm that has issues consistently commanding the ball. His profile screams reliever with the possibility of developing three "plus" pitches. His fastball sits 95-98 MPH with carry, a big sharp curveball, and a slider that's made significant progress and become a swing-and-miss pitch in its own right. He's a guy who could make an impact as early as this season should the team convert him to a reliever for good.

High-A: Hillsboro Hops

INF Tommy Troy (No. 3), INF Gino Groover (No. 8), OF Jack Hurley (No. 13), RHP Ricardo Yan, C Christian Cerda (No. 27)

2023 draftees Tommy Troy, Gino Groover, and Jack Hurley will begin their first full season with Hillsboro after ending the last season there. Troy and Groover are expected to fly through the system to get to the major leagues. Hurley is a tooled up outfielder that struggled with swing-and-miss facing pro pitching.

Yan is a righty with a lower arm slot and the classic sinker/slider profile that comes with it. He profiles as a bullpen arm that matches up primarily against right-handed batters, who he held to a .153/.272/.197 slash against.

Cerda has a higher ceiling than D'Orazio offensively due to better raw power and a more disciplined batting eye. He has all the physical tools necessary to not only stick, but be a potential low-end starter behind the plate.

Low-A: Visalia Rawhide

OF Druw Jones (No. 2), INF Jansel Luis (No. 6), 3B Ruben Santana (No. 11), INF Cristofer Torin (No. 14), RHP Landon Sims (No. 22), LHP Caden Grice (No. 30)

Druw Jones will repeat the level he struggled to start 2023. He'll have a lot to prove this year. The young infield trio of Luis, Santana, and Torin will get their first taste of full season baseball after playing in Visalia down the stretch last season. Landon Sims and Caden Grice are two guys who could rocket up the system based on how they perform this season. Sims feels he's close to back two years removed from Tommy John surgery and learning a cutter as a third pitch. Grice will focus on the mound, although no indication has been given if the former two-way star at Clemson will be allowed to hit in the pros.

Mets' Michael Tonkin: Designated for assignment

Share video.

Tonkin was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for Julio Teheran. Tonkin allowed eight runs (two earned) over four innings covering three relief appearances with the Mets. There would seem to be a good chance the 34-year-old passes through waivers unclaimed.

Good to Know

Below are some guidelines for learning fluent English.

1. Many of us are afraid to write English because we don’t write English regularly. The first and most effective way to overcome this weakness is to write every day. Routinely write something in at least 300 words every day. Write about anything in the morning or at night.

2. Pay attention to grammar when writing in English. Try to master two to three rules of English grammar every day. Read grammar with examples, do not memorize. A good English grammar book can be used as a reference.

3. Practice reading English magazines as well as textbooks. As the habit of reading magazines will enhance your intellectual skills, you will find many new things to write about. At first, you may not understand the meaning of many words, it will take time to understand.

4. Practice reading your favorite articles in reputable English magazines or journals, including Time Magazine, Reader’s Digest, and The Economist. Apply the style of writing in magazines to your own writing. If you practice this for four weeks in a row, you will notice the changes in your writing.

5. You can request someone who knows English well to read what you are writing every day. Correct what are the weaknesses and mistakes with the opinion from him.

6. We use very common words when writing. For fluent writing in English, concentrate on using multidimensional words. Even very short and concise texts can be made interesting by using a variety of words without repeating the same sentence or sentence of the same structure. Try to assimilate five to eight new words every day.

7. Practice writing by following the author you like. Try to understand the thoughts of that author. Make a map of what you want to write before you write anything.

So far today. We hope you find the tips useful. Thanks for visiting AdmissionWar.com.
