First Annual “Oneday Against Hate” Sparks Widespread Conversations of Understanding Online and in Workplaces, Schools, Houses of Worship Across the U.S.

Last Monday, October 1, Oneday Against Hate, a national movement combating hate by encouraging conversations of understanding, launched on social media and in hundreds of schools, workplaces, and houses of worship across the country. Inspiring dialogue among hundreds of Americans, the growing movement will take place annually on the first Monday of October.

In honor of Oneday, diverse people of all ages took part in conversations to build understanding and forge deeper human connections. Notable events included peer conversations and activities in schools such as Marshall Elementary School in Manassas, VA, Jupiter High School in Jupiter, FL, Leander Middle School in Leander, TX, and Lusher Middle School in New Orleans, LA; Pac-12 college athletes creating PSAs about the importance of inclusivity; and intraoffice dialogues shared on social media by employees of large corporations such as PwC.

"The only path toward defeating hate is for all of us—people from every background and identity —to stand against injustice and inequality," said Human Rights Campaign (HRC) National Press Secretary Sarah McBride. "We were honored to join in the Oneday Against Hate campaign and will continue to work across communities and movements to fight for equality today, tomorrow and every day."

In its inaugural year, the Oneday Against Hate alliance was comprised of more than 20 high profile corporations, media outlets, nonprofits, and youth movements including NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), The Coca-Cola Company, Univision Communications Inc. (UCI), PwC, HRC, UnidosUS, ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), 92nd Street Y (92Y), the Consulate General of Colombia to New York, Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Religions for Peace, The African Middle Eastern Leadership Project (AMEL), Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), the non-denominational Jewish youth group BBYO, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), Pac-12 (Pacific Coast Conference), and fraternity Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT).

"We were excited to be a part of this grassroots coalition bringing people together for tolerance-building dialogue because when voices are heard, communities are connected, and ideas are nurtured from the ground up, movements like Oneday Against Hate, can grow and real change can begin," said Asha Curran, Chief Innovation Officer and Director of the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at 92Y.

Other Oneday Against Hate activations included employees at dozens of Mexican Consulates
across the country taking part in inclusive dialogues; Colorado diversity leaders coming together to speak about the meaning of hate; educator trainings hosted by the NCEA; conversations between students in dorm rooms at the University of Connecticut; and impactful dialogues live streamed across the web, including one between high profile survivors of hate crimes Susan Bro, Charlottesville victim Heather Heyer's mother, Jane Clementi, mother of cyber-bullying victim Tyler Clementi, and Las Vegas Police Department Deputy Chief Christopher Darcy.

"Oneday Against Hate was a strong start, but the fight to end bias in this country is just beginning," said Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO and National Director of ADL. "We encourage everyone to continue holding these important and sometimes difficult conversations in order to create a more just, inclusive, and open-minded world."

To learn more about the discussions started on October 1, follow the hashtag #WeAreOneday on Facebook and Twitter, and visit weareoneday.org to pledge to join the movement in the future.

The American Pet Products Association Encourages Dog Ownership in Celebration of Adopt-a-Dog Month

The American Pet Products Association (APPA) is pleased to celebrate the joys and benefits dogs bring to our lives, and encourage dog ownership in honor of Adopt-a-Dog Month (October). According to the 2017-2018 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, over 60 million U.S. households have a dog and there are a total of 89.7 million dogs owned in the U.S. The Survey also reveals top benefits to dog ownership: love and companionship, stress relief, and fun to have in the household. And dogs can help make us healthier too. Research conducted by the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) finds dogs can help improve heart health, alleviate depression, increase well-being, support child health and development, and contribute to healthy aging. Since this month-long holiday encourages people to think about adding a dog to their home, below are some recommendations manufactured by APPA members to help adopted dogs transition smoothly into their "furrever" home.

CoinText Adds “BUY” Feature to Pay For BitPay Invoices Over SMS

Today, CoinText.io, a wallet to transact cryptocurrency using SMS messages, introduced a new "BUY" command that enables users to spend Bitcoin Cash (BCH) at any retailer that uses BitPay to process bitcoin payments.

CoinText users can instantly send money to phone numbers, BCH addresses, and now BitPay invoices, without Internet using simple text commands like BALANCE, RECEIVE and SEND.

"We want to empower people to spend cryptocurrency," explains CoinText founder and CTO Vin Armani. "BitPay is the premier bitcoin payment processor for goods and services. CoinText users can now shop anywhere BitPay is accepted."

Read all the related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/school-bus-safety-company-inc-announces.html

Technically, CoinText added support for the Bitcoin Improvement Protocol 70 (BIP70) JSON Payment Protocol standard which BitPay used to process over $1 billion in bitcoin transactions last year.

BIP70 allows sellers to outline exactly how buyers should structure their transactions, including the fee amount. The buyer then transmits the signed transaction directly to the seller, who verifies that the transaction meets the requirements before broadcasting it to the network.

CoinText offers automatic wallet setup without apps, accounts, or passwords. When CoinText users text money to a friend's phone number, a new BCH wallet is created for the recipient. They don't need to sign up for anything to receive or use the funds.

Users can also get a new wallet by sending an SMS with the word START to the CoinText access number for their region https://cointext.io/en/regions/

Armani demonstrates the new feature by donating Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to Wikimedia through BitPay in the video below:

Air Density Online Enables Engine Tuning and Weather From Your Smartphone

Now racers and crew members who are serious about mechanical fuel injection engine tuning can jet their engines on the go using their smartphones thanks to new developments at AirDensityOnline.com. Air Density Online provides annual memberships to their advanced jetting calculator web app, ProCalc, where tuners can maintain their fuel system, test new combinations, and export their records.

"ProCalc helps racers maintain their setups from engine builders and dyno tests to every track they race," said Bob Szabo, co-creator of ProCalc. Mr. Szabo is a retired auto-industry engineer, long time drag racer, and author of 6 books about mechanical fuel injection engine tuning.

AirDensityOnline.com also offers ProTune, an online consulting service that assists racers in setting up their fuel systems. ProCalc and ProTune are built using engineering principles such as air/fuel ratio to maintain consistency while getting the most power.

Started in 2010 by father-daughter duo Bob and Jennifer Szabo, AirDensityOnline.com has been working with racers to improve their setups while fine-tuning the user experience for everyone who uses the website.

The site takes it's name from a freely available section of the site that provides current air density and density altitude at over 600 race tracks in the US and around the world. There is also a free density altitude calculator and numerous articles to help racers get the most out of their setups. For more information about ProCalc and ProTune, visit airdensityonline.com.
