![]() ![]() Rittenhouse’s trial has become “The Rittenhouse Trial,” a front in the nation’s forever war over culture and politics. David Wright said law enforcement’s strategy during the trial has been to “reduce tension and create an atmosphere of peace.” After dueling protesters quelled tensions with hot slices of Domino’s pizza on Wednesday, Sheriff David Beth continued the act of goodwill the following day by bringing dozens of cookies and cups of coffee to media and protesters alike. Protesters set fire to businesses and smashed windows law enforcement lined the courthouse perimeter in riot gear, sending plumes of pepper spray into the air when someone dared get too close. Law enforcement’s hands-off approach to the trial is a stark change from their response to protests that besieged the city a year prior, when Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot in the back seven times by a white police officer outside of his home. The squabble swiftly turned to a full-blown physical altercation when the two wrestled over a sign and a journalist tried to intervene. Two other arrests were made when a 20-year-old man and 34-year-old woman exchanged fiery insults on the courthouse steps. Another unidentified man was arrested by the Kenosha Police Department Thursday for carrying a handgun, which violated the state’s “Gun Free School Zone” law. Sheriff’s deputies kept watch nearby, but refrained from interfering unless absolutely necessary, as was the case with Kline. ![]() “People want to chat about it, but they’re scared because they don’t know what side you’re on.”Īhead of the verdict, scuffles on the courthouse steps were, for the most part, quickly de-escalated by mediators tasked with maintaining the calm. “It comes up often in conversation ,” she says. She says she’s barely been able to talk to her six older brothers this past year because they support Rittenhouse’s actions - and she doesn’t. “My hands are shaking like they did last year during the protests. “This trial has been a huge weight on Kenosha the last year,” she tells Rolling Stone. Lifelong Kenoshan Mary Beth Mogensen just hoped tensions outside the courthouse wouldn’t culminate in a tragedy similar to the one that brought them there. Some were there to support the 18-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, who they considered a hero others hoped the jury would find Rittenhouse guilty of at least one of the five charges he was facing. Kline was among the hodgepodge group of protesters who occupied the marble steps outside the courthouse in Kenosha as jurors reached day three of deliberations over whether Rittenhouse had acted in self-defense. More than a year later, the environment outside the courthouse - filled with political and racial tension, angry and opposing protests, throngs of reporters and the provocateurs they attract - is perilously similar to that violent, terrifying stretch that left a city in flames and two people dead. Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are dead. Gaige Grosskreutz, who Rittenhouse shot in a conflict during the ensuing protests, is permanently injured as well. Jacob Blake is still suffering from injuries he sustained after being shot by police. ![]() The city is still haunted by what happened in the summer of 2020. The trial is over, the aftermath has begun.Īs Kenosha knows, any one of these conflicts can escalate, and all it takes is one for lives to be lost. On Friday, a jury acquitted Rittenhouse of all the counts he was facing. It’s ugly and it’s trolling, but it’s not deadly - yet. “Fuck you guys! Fuck Black Lives Matter!” he screamed. The case wasn’t empty, but it didn’t hold a firearm: Kline pulled out a black rubber dildo. ![]()

More and more luxury vacation rental websites are starting to integrate with Channel Managers, which makes it much easier and more time-efficient to list properties and to manage listings in the long run. But the good news is, there is a way to speed it up. Once a property passes the listing site’s test, what comes next is an often tedious bureaucratic process involving detailed contracts and long lists of amenities, services and rates. Well-known luxury agencies select and inspect the properties before adding them to their inventory,” she adds. “It’s a mutual selection process between owner and distributor. “The selection process of niche agencies specialised in luxury and the distribution agreement with them can be time-consuming,” says Paola. All the more reason why property managers who manage such high-end units need to find the right place to advertise them. While the units listed on these platforms must meet some unusually high standards, their average booking value is also much higher than that of less exclusive properties. Mainstream OTAs are not meeting the needs of these travellers, which presents an opportunity for niche vacation rental websites that curate lists of rigorously vetted, exclusive properties. In order to maximise occupancy and bookings for owners, fast-growing luxury vacation rental websites are using a tech-based approach to connect property managers with a discerning clientele. “A Channel Manager is certainly a technology tool that provides a great deal of help to guarantee an up-to-date calendar and reduce time spent on lower added value interactions with each sales distributor used.” Paola Gheis What does the marketing mix for luxury rentals look like? Other owners are less strict but they carefully select the quality of the luxury agencies to promote their villas or boutique hotels,” says Paola. “Some owners are very picky and limit the number of agencies and OTAs as they don’t appreciate over-distributing their properties in order to keep a flair of exclusivity. ![]() ![]() In the case of luxury homes, owners and managers are usually more selective. One of the most obvious differences is the number of channels that properties are listed on. “This is also true for the quality of the sales channels used.” “In the luxury vacation rental business, quality and finesse are embedded in the property and the value proposition of the holiday experience offered,” says Paola Gheis, Founder at Paola Gheis Vacation Rental Consulting, a consultancy that specialises in developing marketing strategies for luxury villas. The distribution of luxury vacation rentals is very different from that of non-luxury properties. “Some owners are very picky and limit the number of agencies and OTAs as they don’t appreciate over-distributing their properties in order to keep a flair of exclusivity.” Paola Gheis How to optimise distribution on luxury vacation rental websites So how can property managers prepare for the increase in demand, outrun the competition and get more bookings?

They are victorious, thanks in part to Samir Duran, but more so thanks to the discovery of a psi disruptor, which enables them to ward off enemy zerg.Īfter defeating Mengsk (who escapes with the help of one Jim Raynor) and assuming control of the sector, Duran - exposing himself as an agent of Kerrigan - assassinates Stukov and tries to destroy the Psi Disruptor, but fails and is forced to escape. The United Earth Directorate sends Gerard DuGalle and Alexei Stukov to seize control of the Terran Dominion and bring emperor Mengsk to justice. Terran campaignĮarth has found out about the colonists in the Koprulu sector. Aldaris, however, betrays them for their alliance with Kerrigan, and he is eventually killed by the same, who reveals to Zeratul and Artanis that she chose to help them for a reason to destroy the cerebrates and their plans for a second Overmind so that she alone could take control of the Zerg swarms. ![]() The Zerg that are still under the control of the cerebrates follow them, but with the aid of the now independent Sarah Kerrigan, they use an ancient Xel'naga temple to cleanse Shakuras of the Zerg that followed them from Aiur. Protoss campaignĪrtanis, Aldaris and Zeratul choose to evacuate the remaining Protoss to Shakuras, home of the Dark Templar, who were - up until recently - shunned by the Protoss of Aiur and viewed as traitors. The Zerg have invaded the Protoss homeworld Aiur, and while the Overmind has been killed by Tassadar, the Zerg now roam the surface and are about to eradicate the native Protoss.
