WFAE’s Gwendolyn Glenn reports on the exhibition and Black biker culture Since 1980, Black Bike Week has been held in Atlantic Beach attracting nearly 400,000 people each year Gwendolyn Glenn: That’s photographer Alvin Jacobs whose "Black Behind Bars" exhibition opened recently at the Gantt Center Some of the photos are from Black Bike Week at the mainly Black-owned Atlantic Beach There’s a much older Bike Week at Myrtle Beach just next door that attracts about the same number of people many of the Black bikers stay in Myrtle Beach and in 2018 the NAACP said Myrtle Beach officials discriminated against them by setting up a multi-mile traffic detour to funnel attendees out of the main drag at night Police were also accused of using aggressive tactics against Black bike attendees The NAACP filed a lawsuit and Myrtle Beach officials who said their actions were safety-related Jacobs and others say situations like this arise a lot where Black bikers are concerned because of the many myths associated with them Alvin Jacobs: Some of the myths that I've uncovered associated with Black bikers are that they're not productive members of society that everyone with a particular style of motorcycle belongs to a gang The Black bikers that I know come from every walk of life in our community The culture has nothing to do with how much money you have and has everything to do with how you show up — and showing up makes you the biker Gwendolyn Glenn: Is that your personal motorcycle in the exhibition That's my first Harley-Davidson motorcycle that I've ever owned and my other bike — named after my father and Glenn: Two of my brothers had motorcycles, lots of friends, a former principal used to ride a motorcycle all the time, and I thought that was so cool. And I have friends who are women motorcyclists. In your exhibition, you have a picture of Bessie Stringfield Jacobs: There was this young lady named Bessie Stringfield who would get on her bike and just ride — I mean and she became a folk hero in the industry It was very important to me to highlight and to showcase Black women as well Glenn: And Bessie Stringfield — she was the first Black woman to ride cross-country, and she's in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Glenn: Jacobs' journey as a biker started when he was young His father rode motorcycles and was a member of the Brothers Bike Club there He says riding was a way to connect with his father and is a form of therapy for him Jacobs: I've been riding motorcycles for about 25 years or so but I've been behind the bars of my own mental health prison for much longer You are just prayed for and hope your prayers are answered I have been dealing with mental health issues and challenges which is the other aspect of the double entendre of "Black Behind Bars." Sometimes I just can't get it together Jacobs: Throttle therapy is a response to a bunch of studies that state that the more you roll on that throttle Anxiety tends to do something different in your body you're in tune with the roar and the hum and the vibration of the motor There's almost nothing like it in the world It can actually help you achieve a level of balance while you're balancing the motorcycle so "Black Behind Bars," it’s almost a triple entendre now It's absolutely about being behind the bars of a motorcycle It's actually the mental health challenges Glenn: Jacobs mentions recidivism because he was hit with a contempt of court order last October by a family court judge — just as he was about to take 10 trips to various Black motorcycle events around the country to take pictures for the exhibition so when I was absolutely required and responsible for doing so much — the content for the actual exhibition — I physically couldn't Glenn: And a lot of the thinking you were doing was about this exhibition Jacobs: Almost every aspect was about the exhibition because I knew I was already behind schedule and I basically used the time to eradicate most of the inconsistencies in my character — which made the opening so much more free for me glad you got out to get this exhibition together talking about myths and stereotypes about Black bikers — this exhibition is not just about dealing with some of the stereotypes Jacobs: That part there is almost the most important aspect of “Black Behind Bars,” because there are so many Black men and Black women specifically that need help But there’s this stigma around getting the help — that it means you’re weak — so that title is so powerful for a reason What we’re going to do is continue to add to the exhibition We’re going to be dropping videos and content along with mental health so we’re going to partner with mental health professionals around the city and around the country to help us along

Perrine DeShield-Jenkins had one thought: Charlotte needs something like that a light blue button up with white pinstripes under a blazer already looked ready for the gala when we spoke referencing a fashion style that centers menswear and has roots that run from Reconstruction through the Harlem Renaissance into Blaxploitation and beyond On May 2, DeShield-Jenkins will bring her vision to The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture with Superfine at the Gantt: Exploring Black Dandyism the event will celebrate Black people’s indelible contributions to fashion while highlighting local Black designers tailoring their version of the dandy aesthetic today “We’re excited about the event because it gives us an opportunity to really showcase not only some amazing Black fashion designers and brands that are here in Charlotte but also just the Black creative community in so many different facets and platforms,” DeShield-Jenkins told Queen City Nerve One of the things the South has to say is how it was the breeding ground for the iconic Black dandyism style In addition to showcasing local Black creatives DeShield-Jenkins said she sees this event as an opportunity to connect the dots from where Black dandyism started what it truly represents and how it has evolved over the years we deserve.”André Leon Talley and the roots of Black dandyismEvery person’s idea of what constitutes Black fashion is different from the next Black dandyism is either some outdated idea or doesn’t come to mind at all in a discourse that might pit suits vs Black dandyism is about rebelling against those sorts of stereotypes “A Black dandy is someone who takes fashion very seriously “They are fully aware of that and they utilize fashion to just share the rest of that with the world “They’re someone who doesn’t necessarily just immerse themselves into different trends They either start a trend or they are above and beyond a trend A Black dandy is fearless when it comes to fashion They are someone who is fully confident in who and what their personal style is.” With Black dandyism hardly at top of mind in today’s fashion world DeShield-Jenkins said she was intrigued to see the Met Gala step up to showcase the culture on such an important platform the Met Gala — and by extension her own event at Gantt Center — is about educating folks on the history of the culture and its pioneers She points specifically to André Leon Talley an icon of Black dandyism world and American fashion more broadly or “the North Carolinian Black country boy who made it in the big city,” as she referred to him Raised in Durham during the Jim Crow Era by his grandmother who worked as a cleaning lady at Duke University Talley discovered Vogue magazine in a local library as a child and became engrossed He would go on to work closely with Andy Warhol Anna Wintour and other giants of the fashion industry even advising the Obamas on fashion in 2008 “Andre Leon Talley is the dandy of all dandies,” DeShield-Jenkins said “The gravity and the importance of Andre Leon Talley to the culture and fashion industry is so large.” “the love letter that [Talley] always deserved.” “It’s the flowers that he should have received when he was here with us And I think that it’s so important that he’s acknowledged,” she continued “So we can take the thing that was the most dear to him that is such a representation of his being Fashion’s biggest stage is a perfect place to showcase an important aspect of Black culture and fashion so DeShield-Jenkins aimed to take a page out of their book and host her event at the Gantt on the weekend before the Met She could have held the event at other venues like the Mint Museum or Charlotte Convention Center but it wouldn’t have the same significance “As an African American museum and center for Black culture here in Charlotte it is so centralized and so important to every Black creative here in Charlotte in so many different ways You can relate some part of your career or trajectory or a moment to the Gantt Center.” “Art is all around you,” DeShield-Jenkins told us “There are so many talented people in arm’s reach on a regular basis that make some really cool things that have really great visions and a really strong creative perspective.” She enlisted the help of local creatives to get this message across Attendees can expect to see Teejay Alston’s brand with sounds from Dammit Wesley and eats from The Thicc Co. female-led sweet shop dedicated to honoring and preserving Black culture through food Professor P enlisted the help of fellow creatives davita galloway of DUPP&SWAT and Shekinah Williams of The Kinah Kollection to curate an exhibit for the event titled Dissecting Dandyism Before committing to any plans for an annual gala similar to the Met DeShield-Jenkins said she just wants to make it through the first one One thing she knows for certain: She will keep highlighting Black excellence one way or another “I would honestly love to either continue showcasing Black perspectives of fashion themes and just getting everyone really excited about fashion and art and our contributions,” she said “I love Charlotte … I definitely see an option and an opportunity in a world where we can continue to really amplify the fashion creative scene here in Charlotte.” Read more: Cheryse Terry Serves as Black History’s Protector in West Charlotte DeShield-Jenkins is passionate about keeping the local scene in the spotlight extolling the importance for Charlotte natives and transplants alike to know that the sort of creativity they’ll see both at the Met Gala and Gantt Center is existing and thriving right in their own backyard “I hope [Superfine] inspires people to know that you don’t always have to go to New York you don’t always have to go to LA,” DeShield-Jenkins said “You can actually do something that uplifts your community and the community that you are part of and ensure that

Disaster Relief fund, https://www.samaritanspurse.org/disaster/hurricane-helene He departed this productive life on Sunday 2025 at Skyline Medical Center in Nashville Andrew was self employed in the car detailing business Andrew was preceded in death by his parents He leaves to cherish his memories his loving wife of 17 years Adams Family and a host of other relatives and friends As a former public-school teacher in Miami-Dade and now a state legislator I’ve seen firsthand what works — and what doesn’t — in our public education system Let’s be clear: Florida’s public schools are not failing due to local mismanagement; they are struggling because of chronic underfunding and years of state-level policy decisions that have diverted resources away from our classrooms In a recent op-ed Fabián Basabe suggests that our public schools should be grateful for meager and insufficient increases in state education funding — somehow implying that a lack of local accountability is to blame for underfunded and underperforming schools We must all reject this damaging narrative which creates division instead of delivering solutions Our children cannot afford such distractions from the real work of fully funding our schools and ensuring that all children — regardless of ZIP code — receive a high-quality education Florida has long ranked at or near the bottom nationally in per-pupil spending and no amount of spin changes that clear fact Our students and teachers are doing the best they can under enormous constraints but with a system designed to underdeliver We don’t need political theatrics from those unwilling to fight for Florida’s students and educators We need real investments in our state’s future That starts with restoring equitable funding to our public schools protecting programs that challenge and inspire students and working with — not against — local school districts The recent changes in how accelerated courses — such as AP and Dual Enrollment — are funded will harm our students particularly in low-income and underserved communities These aren’t “add-ons;” these programs are lifelines — providing access to college-level coursework and academic enrichment that levels the playing field for students who might otherwise be left behind pushed by the GOP-controlled Florida Legislature are not about transparency or accountability They are about weakening public education while propping up alternatives like private school vouchers — now able to be used with no income eligibility cap — and charter schools many of which operate with little to no oversight and no requirement to meet the same standards as traditional public schools And I believe we cannot scapegoat our public schools while ignoring the role of the state in underfunding Teachers are leaving the profession in droves Arts and enrichment programs are being slashed public school districts are asked to do more with less I taught in Miami-Dade classrooms for nearly a decade and the magic that happens when communities are given the resources they need to thrive I also saw schools struggling to provide basic materials I saw students with special needs waiting too long for services I saw overburdened teachers stretched thin trying to meet unrealistic and unfunded mandates from Tallahassee It’s easy to write an op-ed pointing fingers It’s harder to roll up your sleeves and fix what’s broken I’m here to advocate for the students and families who depend on public schools — not tear those schools down with rhetoric and misinformation one of which over 70% of parents in Florida exercise We cannot prioritize one over the other by depleting the resources of one to fund the other Let’s stop using education as a political pawn and start treating it as the public good it is Ashley Gantt serves District 109 in the Florida House of Representatives Gantt is an attorney and a former public school teacher who taught in Miami-Dade County Public Schools for seven years before dedicating her career to public service This is why I kept calling the vouchers and charters grift once you connected the owners of such school to the policy makers but I want

and fellow panelists were Kevin Lee Professor at North Carolina Central University School of Law Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Ethics at Boyce College and Senior Fellow at The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission The panel was one of the conference’s plenary sessions and was attended by several hundred of the many conference registrants the panel explored a wide breadth of issues related AI – ranging from the ethical issues on individual lawyers as practitioners to the systemic issues on how AI is impacting the legal profession to the broader issues for how AI is shaping societal perception of reality Professor Gantt began by defining generative AI (Gen AI) and referenced some of the many ways Gen AI is affecting lawyering he then focused much of his remarks on how the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct relate to the use of Gen AI in practice including its implications on lawyers’ duty of competence and how gen AI impacts lawyers’ fees and obligation not to assist in the unauthorized practice of law Professor Gantt then concluded by discussing how the human aspects of lawyering are becoming more central to the lawyer’s role as technologies like AI overtake many of the technical aspects of lawyering He mentioned three aspects of lawyers’ role as becoming paramount in this age of technology: lawyers’ duty to be advocates not just makers of arguments; lawyers’ unique position to express empathy and to treat others in the legal system as created in God’s image; and lawyers’ ability to convey wisdom In addition to his participation on the panel, Professor Gantt discusses his insights related to Gen AI and lawyering in his recent article “Moral Than Machines: The Ethical and Human Implications of Generative AI on Lawyering,” published in the latest edition of the Journal of Christian Legal Thought Discussing issues like Gen AI and lawyering relates to HPU Law’s mission to prepare its graduates with the skills and mindset they need for professional success in a changing world CLS Executive Director & CEO David Nammo conference attendees thanked me for the incredible Artificial Intelligence panel at the Christian Legal Society national conference I am so grateful for panelist Professor Natt Gantt who brought his leadership and expertise to this subject explaining AI from a Biblical perspective to our entire conference that was applicable for the practicing Christian attorney and grounded in a Christian worldview.“ Thanks for visiting 1957 to Carl Jackson and Ocie Baker Gantt in Shelby but left to serve 4 years in the United States Navy After leaving the Navy he worked for the City of Shelby He was a Past Master of Cleveland Masonic Lodge #202 in Shelby Wilma Toney and Donna Quinn;

Salem’s Blessing Gantt reaches for a rebound against Highlands last season. the Greensburg Salem girls basketball graduated four key players all of whom are playing college basketball That left the Golden Lions with big shoes to fill and just two seniors the team opened the season with a 10-7 overall record “There were some kinks we had to work out that we’re still working on but nothing that we can’t fix,” Gantt said “I think we’re doing pretty well overall because a lot of them tend to get down on themselves just because they are younger.” A key change this season was the Golden Lions’ return to Class 5A their biggest priority became getting the rest of the team up to speed “None of us have really been put in that position besides me and Regan because we were 5A our freshman year,” Gantt said “I would say it wasn’t really that much of a jump because I feel like we can compete with any team in our section as far as that goes.” Greensburg Salem held a one-game lead over Kiski for the final WPIAL playoff spot Gantt is concentrated on keeping the team focused “The mindset is just to push our hardest and try to win every game,” Gantt said we have to beat a couple more teams.” Gantt has had six double-digit scoring games this season Consistency will be key if the Golden Lions hope to win another playoff game “A big goal of mine is to make the playoffs and win a playoff game again like we did last year,” Gantt said “Just try to be more consistent and keep my head up in games because sometimes it’s hard.” Gantt also aims to add more double-doubles to her stat line in the remaining games She credits her training routines for keeping her in shape for both basketball and volleyball maybe like an ab circuit or like a leg circuit because we use our legs a lot in basketball and our core is a big part,” Gantt said We really just did it at the beginning of the season for school and my travel team It was just like working on agility and being able to move.” She plans to attend Pitt to study athletic training and complete the AT master’s program there as well Heading into the final stretch of the season Gantt took some time for a Senior Spotlight Q&A: How would you assess your play to this point in the season I try to get everybody to play their role because with our team I feel like nobody in our section’s really as big as us or as long as us because we have a lot of size So the goal of mostly every game is to just try to get it inside to me because I’m like a key post player but I would say I’m pretty consistent It just depends on how the game’s going Is there anything from one of your sports that helps with another 1 thing because having to jump from sport to sport is just a little confusing Like I’m working with different people I think the mindset thing plays a big role and just like the conditioning part of it Like we condition differently for volleyball than we do basketball and all that stuff What went into your decision to go into athletic training My doctor because I’ve had multiple injuries over the years ‘Playing sports in college really isn’t the best idea.’ Working with physical therapists and my athletic trainers at my school all the time got me really interested in the field What is one thing that people may not know about you I would say I do put on like a shell around me to make it seem like I’m not really like a people person or anything which is why I’m excited about college I think I’m an outgoing person once people get to know me If Javascript is disabled browser, to place orders please visit the page where our

All things considered, ClickUp is the best software for building Gantt charts, and even has several Gantt-focused project management templates ClickUp’s Gantt charts are available on all of its plans including its Free Forever plan (but you’ll be limited to 60 uses per workspace) you’ll find ClickUp’s additional features make managing projects much easier You can brainstorm ideas on an online whiteboard and get a top-level view of a project’s progress with more than a dozen ClickUp views but it’s far from the only provider on the market is not only our top pick of project management tools but has some great Gantt chart functionality on its later plans As we’ll demonstrate over the course of this guide there are several viable options out there Here’s our two cents – it’s much better to go for an all-round great project management tool than to look for a Gantt chart provider specifically almost all project management software programs offer some sort of Gantt chart feature – and many of them are pretty similar we’ve outlined a few things to consider when choosing the right Gantt chart provider: and project management software is no different we’ve listed our top project management software providers and you can see which ones provide Gantt charts – as well as whether they’re available on the provider’s free plans monday.com Smartsheet Wrike Teamwork Trello Basecamp Jira Asana Zoho Projects $9 user/month $9/user/month $10 user/month $10.99/user/month $5/user/month $15/user/month $8.60/user/month $10.99/user/month $4/user/month feature-rich software suitable for teams of all sizes with an impressive free tier for individuals great for small businesses and our top-performing providers on test – and there’s a generous free trial period which can take your Excel-based task planning to the next level A very capable yet pricey service with a huge number of useful integrations with an easy-to-use automation builder and great budget tracking capabilities stripped-down option best for small teams who need a central location for basic task management relatively limited software that’s a lot simpler than its competitors A great value piece of software that’s ideal for tech software development and engineering teams A simple task-list-based project management platform with an acceptable free tier A solid project management solution with an attractive free tier for small teams and a very affordable premium plan ClickUp is one of our favorite project management tools It’s easy to use – especially when you’re setting up ClickUp only needs your project details once and after you’ve inputted your task list ClickUp is a real all-rounder. With some excellent task management tools, it’s more of a Work OS than the other options on this list meaning that it’s a great solution for businesses looking to avoid juggling multiple different software providers It would be great for a small design agency The creative directors could use it to keep on top of different client briefs while using ClickUp Chat to communicate instantly with remote freelancers The only slight downside to ClickUp is that it doesn’t have dedicated budget management features, which providers like Teamwork have on their most expensive plans But that’s one very minor downside to an otherwise excellent program you’re guaranteed to find useful Although Gantt charts are available on ClickUp’s free plan that does come with a catch – you can only view it 60 times a month a good workaround for this would be to save these ‘uses’ for when you need to edit the Gantt chart and then distribute screenshots of it to those that need it when changes are made ClickUp actually enforces this sort of restriction for a number of features (custom fields for example) in order to make them available to free users If you’re running a small project though that only has a team of three or four people This certainly gives ClickUp a disadvantage over providers like Teamwork that don’t set limits on how many times you can view Gantt charts but here’s the thing – ClickUp will be a much better choice than the other providers on this list (except monday.com) if you’re looking for more than just a Gantt chart and would benefit from other project management features too ClickUp is a great all-round tool for a variety of businesses of different sizes and offers one of the best free plans on the market It’s not overly blessed with integrations but that’s simply because it has a lot of stuff in-house This is one of the most fully-featured free plans currently available in the project management world a full suite of task management and workflow creation tools and various collaboration features to maintain team cohesion This is ClickUp’s first plan without any usage limitations on things like milestones and resource management The Business plan has a number of additional features that aren’t available on the Unlimited Plan Advanced Dashboard Features and time tracking This plan will be best suited to large businesses and doesn’t have many extra features other than onboarding assistance – but if your business is big and requires a plan to match that Teamwork is actually one of the best task management platforms and is built for the close monitoring of project progress – it has a Gantt chart view as well as a wide variety of other preset charts you’ll find incredibly useful including project health and workload planning charts Teamwork also has excellent collaboration features but one thing you should bear in mind is that it isn’t very good for compiling post-project feedback If the post-project phase is a crucial part of your overall project you may want to have a peruse of the other providers on this list For businesses where interdisciplinary collaboration is baked into their everyday Teamwork should be one of the first names on your list if you needed to collate engineering teams to track progress as you brought a product to market has Gantt charts available – but unlike ClickUp there isn’t any limit on the number of times you can ‘use’ the Gantt chart It’s a super simple Gantt chart to use and as long as you’ve already inputted your tasks into Teamwork somewhere then the Gantt chart will auto-populate itself with those tasks Teamwork’s Gantt charts are a little less busy than the other providers on this list – as you’ll see when you go through the images for each provider this is one of the less cluttered views you’ll have If you find it easier to digest the information about how your project is progressing presented clearly then Teamwork’s Gantt chart won’t disappoint Another favorite of ours here at Tech.co HQ it isn’t overly blessed with third-party integration options but that’s another consequence of having a lot of in-built features at users’ disposal Viewing the Teamwork Gantt chart in action it’s got a maximum project limit of just two if you’re only completing one project with a small team – and you don’t need access to things like a team messenger app and billing & invoicing features and you can make 300 projects with an unlimited amount of users This is the first plan where you’ll be able to integrate with business communication platforms like Slack and MS teams so this will be ideal for small-to-medium-sized businesses that would find the free package too small This is the fully-featured Teamwork package, which has an impressive suite of user-centric features that other plans don’t have such as form builders, CRM functionality, and burndown charts (which is useful if your team uses a Scrum Framework This package is only really suitable for very large businesses and is the first plan with unlimited storage (although you’re unlikely to need this unless you’ve got hundreds of people working in the same software simultaneously and storing documents in it The last Teamwork tier is geared towards massive enterprises and features premium consulting and supporting services so you’ll have to get in touch with Teamwork to find out more Like ClickUp, Zoho Projects has a very popular free plan that actually includes a surprising number of features considering it won’t cost you a cent to install One of Zoho’s greatest strengths is its integrations – if you’re planning on using or are currently using CRM software during your project Zoho is a fantastic choice thanks to compatibility with Hubspot and of course comms apps Slack and Microsoft Teams There’s also Zoho’s suite of other business products (Zoho CRM Zoho is a great solution for scale-up businesses that already have most of their tech and processes entrenched in their day-to-day You can easily integrate with a number of different platforms without having to upskill your employees on new ones Zoho also has the advantage of being one of the best providers we tested when it comes to value for money – Zoho’s first paid plan is just $4/per user per month if you pay annually – that’s less than monday.com ClickUp and Teamwork’s cheapest paid plans it doesn’t have the best customer support with no live chat or support available on any plans Zoho Projects has an easy-to-use Gantt chart which will be more appealing to some people than the straight lines of Teamwork and ClickUp but less appealing to others – it really is just a matter of opinion Zoho’s Gantt Chart auto-populates with all information you’ve already inputted It’s one of the providers featured in this article that lets you draw your own task dependencies on the Gantt Chart which will help you understand your project’s critical path and make informed decisions on what you should and shouldn’t prioritize Zoho Projects is a great option for businesses that don’t want to break the bank and its paid plans start at a very respectable $4 per user If you’re a fan of simple pricing structures compared to some of the other vendors on this list Zoho Projects is incredible value for money with a large range of task management features and a great selection of collaboration tools The only catch is there’s a three-project limit and a user limit of five so it’s not suitable for anything bigger than a small team- and you can’t ad guests either which will be fine for a significant proportion of teams and has important features exempt from the free plan like budget management tools 20GB more storage than Zoho’s Premium plan and will also allow you to create Custom Fields which are handy when you want to add something to your project but can’t find a specific function for it not tasks)Auto-populates Gantt Chart? Yes Jira is another great option if you want to make Gantt charts for free – however is its data visualization tools – which are all available on all of Jira’s plans That means you’ll have both preset & custom charts at your disposal without paying anything You can make comments on individual tasks within Jira, but it doesn’t have much more than that in terms of collaboration features – so it’s a good thing it integrates with apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams Although Jira has one of the cleaner user interfaces in the project management world and you can end up spending quite a lot of time menu-diving that could be spent elsewhere it’s an excellent piece of software that does a bit of everything Jira is a favorite of tech and engineering teams everywhere It integrates with key tools throughout the so-called “DevOps” cycle – the collaboration of IT and software development teams – such as Bitbucket Jira provides a ‘Roadmap’ view which enables you to view tasks in an effectively identical manner the only downside – if you’re looking for a granular map of project progress that is – is that only milestones (Jira calls ‘Epics’) show up in the Roadmap/Gantt chart-like view It’s good to know that Jira’s Free and Standard plans only allow you to create these roadmaps for individual teams whilst the pricier plans will let you create them for multiple teams the more complex/multi-faceted your project – and the more teams you have working on it – the more likely it is that you’ll need a more costly plan Jira is very generous with its data visualization tools as well as some of the software development platforms that we’ve mentioned above a Gantt chart is known as a “Roadmap,” in which “Epics” can be tracked There’s a whole host of data visualization tools and workflow creation features including custom automations – which aren’t offered for free by every provider Jira will restrict you to 2GB of storage but there are no limits on users or projects like there are in Zoho Projects and Teamwork You don’t get many more features that aren’t available in the free version on Jira’s Standard plan your storage capacity is ramped up to 250GB and there are more automations are allowed so it’s a much better choice if you’ve got a data-heavy project Jira’s premium plan has all of the Standard plan and Free plan features but also has some handy extras like resource management tools You’ll also get access to Atlassian Intelligence monday.com is the best project management software we’ve tested here at Tech.co – it has absolutely everything you need to run a successful project from multiple locations The provider excels when it comes to customization and will let you exert a lot of control over the planning of your projects and being able to move the order of tasks is very useful The option to create subitems is also very handy for organization and keeping track of tasks with different priorities” – Jess There are lots of team collaboration features including a dedicated resource management chart that lets you track every team member’s workload This feature is particularly useful for managers with several employees reporting into them as it can give you oversight of who is overburdened and who might have more capacity monday.com is supposed to be a one-stop-shop for project management from the conception stage of your project right the way to the post-project feedback stage which monday.com can help you with thanks to features like a form builder and guest access monday.com doesn’t have a very expansive free plan (although it has a 14-day free trial that will let you take one of its fully-featured plans out for a spin) so you won’t be able to make a Gantt chart for free you’ll have one of the slickest-looking Gantt charts in the project management game Gantt charts are really

isn’t suitable for projects being carried out by larger teams You’ll still get a lot of features (Kanban boards etc.) but there’s no onboarding assistance or phone-based customer support and you won’t be able to access resource management tools Monday’s Basic plan offers many of the same features as the free plan but you’ll be able to orchestrate projects with an unlimited amount of users which makes the collaboration tools monday.com provides (task comments This plan includes everything available in the Basic Plan but some handy extra features like Guest Access the capacity to incorporate Comms and CRM integrations and custom automations that’ll improve project efficiency This is the first monday.com plan which will let you access Gantt charts so if that’s what you’re here for This package consists of the Standard plan features plus a few handy extras like private boards and the ability to create a dashboard that combines 20 separate boards You’ll have to contact monday.com directly if you feel the Enterprise package is the only one that will suit your business and more integrations available than any other plan There are some places to get Gantt Chart software for free

software package Many of the software packages mentioned in this article have free versions that let you create and use Gantt charts This means can get your hands on the best Gantt charts out there without paying a single cent we have a funny feeling you may find some other project management tools handy too With project management software like ClickUp much more at your fingertips – a luxury you won’t have with basic Gantt chart software the customer support you’ll receive from a multinational project management software company will be markedly better than what you’ll receive from a free Gantt chart provider website Gantt charts are an incredibly useful visual tool for project managers working on all sorts of projects It’s the sort of tool that busy project managers will find beneficial because they won’t have to spend precious time reiterating project plans or how much progress has been made If used within project management software it can provide all team members with

unrealistic deadline – this can happen if you set one way too soon Gantt charts will aid with the creation of realistic goals and deadlines simply because you’ll have all the information laid out in front of you At Tech.co we don’t write about products and services without conducting thorough research it’s time well spent if it means we’re providing better When it comes to project management software test out each project management software first-hand guided by an in-house research framework consisting of six core assessment areas that break down into a range of smaller subcategories This framework is based on the factors companies and project managers have told us are important to their every day usage It’s important to note that not all of these criteria hold equal weight in our testing methodology and based on what businesses have told us is essential compared to what’s simply “nice to have” Because of their central importance to project management features for project & workflow creation and task management had more of an impact on the overall than other criteria if you’d like an all-encompassing project management solution that will give you Gantt charts and much more – and you’re prepared to pay for quality – monday.com is the way to go You can get yourself Gantt charts for less with ClickUp because monday.com doesn’t have a free plan Stay informed on the top

strangled his deaf and mute cellmate — was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole said nothing when given the opportunity to address Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Althea M He also refused to communicate with his own defense attorney throughout the case citing his client’s silence while arguing that Staron has severe mental health problems and should have been found incompetent to stand trial “The only plausible explanation in my mind is there is something going on in his head that we can’t explain,” attorney Jason Silverstein said said Staron deserved the stiffest possible sentence Assistant State’s Attorney Tonya LaPolla said Staron had a “history of violence deceit and reckless behavior” and had “earned every day of this sentence.” The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors.

State’s Attorney Ivan Bates said investigators are probing whether Staron is involved in other killings in the city Meanwhile, the family of Javarick Gantt, Staron’s slain cellmate, said they are continuing to fight for answers from corrections officials a slight 34-year-old man who used sign language to communicate was being held at Central Booking for a failure-to-appear violation stemming from relatively minor assault charges said corrections officials had wrongly scored Staron and Gantt the same in a risk assessment adding that he anticipates filing a civil claim against the state Bates said he also had questions about how long it took for corrections officers to discover that Gantt had been attacked Rigor mortis had set in by the time he was found a process which Bates said takes six to eight hours to occur said his family was “torn to pieces by a system that failed my son.” Staron stood trial in September for the killing of Keith Bell Lapolla said Bell was sitting at a bus stop bench in the 1400 block of East Monument Street in the early morning hours of Sept Detectives pulled video footage that identified the suspect’s vehicle They said Staron matched the man in the video and could be seen displaying what investigators said was Staron’s distinctive “hand tic.” Police also said they found footage of Staron discarding clothing in a trash bin behind a school and dumping latex gloves in a median on Central Avenue When Harford County Sheriff’s deputies went to serve a DNA warrant on Staron two days after the killing he emerged with a shotgun and knife but was taken into custody without incident Staron’s parents said he lived with them and slept in the family room Police said Staron’s shoes had blood on them Handy said there was “overwhelming circumstantial evidence” connecting Staron to the killing in denying Silverstein’s request for a new trial where he and Gantt shared a cell for a few days before Gantt was found dead on Oct and then he pleaded guilty to killing Gantt Prosecutors said that in mental health evaluations Staron was determined to be “malingering,” or feigning psychological symptoms Lapolla said Staron told a mental health professional that he saw a “little green man on your shoulder,” which she suggested was a bluff He was also diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder said based on his interactions with Staron He said during the course of representing him Staron never explained what happened in the cases and had trouble holding a simple conversation this man is not competent to stand trial,” Silverstein told the judge He said Staron had suffered repeated head injuries and concussions since he was a child and that those continued after his arrest in Bell’s killing He said Staron was badly beaten while in jail Staron repeatedly turned around and seemed to be speaking to someone who wasn’t there “I truly believe the second homicide happened because .. he was not in a great state of mind,” Silverstein said Silverstein said Staron’s mother believes he was framed She and other relatives and friends sent 13 letters of support to Handy and attended the sentencing “But they don’t describe the person I have seen in this courtroom.” Justin Fenton justin.fenton@thebaltimorebanner.com Justin Fenton is an investigative reporter for the Baltimore Banner He previously spent 17 years at the Baltimore Sun "We Own This City: A True Story of Crime Cops and Corruption," was released by Random House in 2021 and became an HBO miniseries Welcome to The Banner's subscriber-only commenting community.
