Neath Port Talbot County Council logo design Neath Port Talbot County Council wanted to review their existing logo and consolidate elements of it. The brief was to 'clean-up' and refresh the existing logo to give the council a more modern appearance. The logo was designed to visually represent the local landmarks of the area, giving an identity for the Council that local residents could relate to. It helped to create a sense of ownership. The three main rivers in the area are represented along with the local abbey and hills.

A major flooding incident occurred on the 11th floor of the apartment tower at 100 Van Ness, and it's allegedly the work of a vandal who lived in the building, and who was found at the scene. Multiple social media reports went out early Tuesday about a fire alarm and flooding incident at 100 Van Ness, which is home to hundreds of residents who were awoken to the alarm around 5:30 a.m. Images showed several inches of water in hallways, possibly on multiple floors, and flowing down stairwells like a waterfall. Speaking of substandard housing: 100 Van Ness is flooding right now. It's from the 11th floor down. Looks significantly worse than 33 Tehama. I wonder if J. Tandler's parents own this place, too? pic.twitter.com/5RfaJhljCU — SRO Martha Stewart (@Wagnerian) October 11, 2022 Watery Mess. Residents at a SF apartment building woke-up to flooding. SF Police say a resident vandalized a water pipe and was arrested. — Janelle Wang (@janellewang) October 11, 2022 This is at 100 Van Ness. @svqjournalist will have the latest on @nbcbayarea at 5 pm. pic.twitter.com/dI2PMJgi47 Somebody had a really good/bad time Monday night into Tuesday morning, and it ended with a hole apparently being busted in a wall in one of the building's stairwells, and a font of gushing water, perhaps from a fire line or other large water pipe, that had been broken open or otherwise unleashed. The SF Standard reports that firefighters responded just after 6 a.m. and found a 46-year-old resident of the building "drenched in water" and located near the source of the flooding. That resident has been arrested on suspicion of felony vandalism. Residents told the site that they saw a large hole in a wall in the western stairwell, around the 11th floor where the incident took place. Because of the recent flooding incident(s) at 33 Tehama, residents immediately thought something like that had happened, before it became known that a vandal was at fault. So far the suspect has not been publicly identified. the 29-story 100 Van Ness, formerly an office tower for the California State Automobile Association, was converted into 418 rental units that opened for leasing in 2015. Elevators in the building were disabled due to the flooding, and the extent of the damage is not yet known. Update: The resident in question, who was arrested, has been identified as Michael Nien — and, naturally, he was naked when firefighters found him near the fire hose valve he allegedly opened, unleashing a torrent of high-pressure water. As KTVU notes, Nien's open Facebook account includes a series of screenshots of text conversations in which a person, who seems to be a neighbor in the building, was threatening physical violence against him. Nien also posted on October 1, "I cannot express the number of emotions I have for the management of 100 Van Ness Ave (a couple of prior complaints towards the same neighbor months prior towards management before) and SFPD after I called them starting at 1:30 AM when my neighbor below 1 floor threatened to stab and kill me with a slew of texts and voice mails and facetime requests." In a very early morning post that same day, Nien wrote, "Well. If anything happens to me. Thanks 100 Van Ness and SFPD." Another resident of the building described to KTVU how a neighbor "physically stopped [Nien] from attacking the pipe," and added that Nien "was having some kind of mental episode maybe."

There have been reports of massive locust swarms assaulting East African and destroying crops in a plague of Biblical proportions. But it is not just Africa, for now India and Pakistan, two neighbors who hate each other, are working together to fight locust swarms that have descended upon their nations as the plague goes globally. India has reached out to Pakistan to counter a locust invasion which threatens to destroy crops and undermine food security in south and southwest Asia — a region where the COVID-19 pandemic has already disrupted farming. An official source who did not wish to be named said India had proposed a trilateral response in partnership with Pakistan and Iran to combat the desert locust wave sweeping across the Afro-Asian region. “India has suggested to Pakistan that both countries coordinate locust control operations along the border, and that India can facilitate supply of Malathion, a pesticide, to Pakistan,” the official said. Desert locusts pose a major threat to food security in the region, including India. A typical locust swarm, which can vary from less than one square kilometre to several hundred square kilometres, can devastate farmlands. A one square kilometre swarm, containing about 40 million locusts, can in a day eat as much food as 35,000 people, assuming that each individual consumes 2.3 kg of food per day, says the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). In India, small swarms of desert locusts, in the past weeks, have already arrived from Pakistan, moving east into Rajasthan, and reaching Jodhpur. “We are preparing for a worst-case scenario. Starting from the Horn of Africa, and joined by desert locusts from breeding grounds en route, one locust stream can travel over a land corridor passing over Yemen, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and India, impacting farmlands in Punjab, Haryana and the Indo-Gangetic plain. But another stream passing over the Indian Ocean can directly attack farms in peninsular India, and then head towards Bangladesh,” another official had earlier told The Hindu. (source) Locusts are amazing things, but they are a complete terror to any garden. Their ability to devour plants is simply fascinating to watch. But it is not a joke. Locusts feed themselves on the food which humans use to eat, and food shortages can lead to starvation as well as migration crises because people will seek to go where the food is. Could we be seeing the possibility for a migration crisis from India and Pakistan, possibly to Europe, in the name of refugees seeking food to eat? We do not know, but the fact is that starvation leads to migration as a historical reality, and this plague is another global event that must be watched because if it gets worse it may have tremendous effects on patterns of migration.

How to Measure Sizing How to Measure for Your Size Chest or Bust This measurement is used for tops and dresses. Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust and wrap it around your body to get the measurement, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. This measurement is used for tops, dresses, and bottoms. Most clothing lines use the measurement of the “natural waist” for their size guides. To measure your natural waist, you want to find the narrowest part of your waist, located above your belly button and below your rib cage. Note some brands use a “low” waist measurement. For this, you would measure at the point where your trousers would normally ride. This measurement is used for bottoms and sometimes for dresses. Stand with your hips together and measure the fullest part of your hips. Be sure to go over your buttocks as well. It might be challenging to keep the tape consistently level when you do it alone; it is recommended that you have a friend assist you with this or that you do it in front of a mirror. This measurement is used for trousers and jeans. The inseam is the distance from the uppermost part of your thigh to your ankle. It is easiest to measure the inseam based on a well-fitting pair of pants. Measure from the crotch to the cuff on the inside seam of the leg. The number of inches, to the nearest ½”, is the inseam length. It’s best to measure your inseam with a pair of shoes on so that you can ensure the hem hits at the right point on your shoe. For women, keep in mind that the accurate inseam measurement depends on whether you’re wearing heels or flats. The hem should hit at the middle of the heel shaft or should hit just slightly above the flat shoe. It would be best for women to take two measurements for inseams — one for trousers you’d wear with heels, and one for trousers you’d wear with flats. How Measurements Correspond to Sizes The first thing to look for when online shopping is the size chart. Clothing manufacturers will lay out bust, waist, and hips measurements in inches or centimeters that correspond to sizes. Each brand or designer uses a different scale, so it’s best to check the measurements on which that brand bases its sizing. Taking Time to Measure Can Make Shopping More Successful Having your measurements ensures that you will know the best size to get for your clothes. It is an easy way to take much of the risk out of online shopping, and can be helpful if you’re looking at doing alterations to your clothes as well.

The Southern California Ecosystems Research Program (SCERP) is a two-year undergraduate research-training program that fosters participation of minority and urban-raised students in undergraduate research in ecology. Scholars start with a 5-week intensive summer field-research course in cohorts of 5-6, and progress to independent academic-year research with faculty mentors in the Department of Biological Science. Second-year scholars return as summer peer-mentors for the new scholars. This promotes group cohesion and develops leadership skills in continuing scholars. Over the course of two years, each student participates in five original research projects: four short-term group projects and one long-term independent project; scholars present each project at a scientific meeting. During the academic year, scholars enroll in weekly professional development seminars led by SCERP faculty. Our core goal is to train students to be independent researchers, while cultivating written and oral communication and critical thinking skills, guiding them to develop a research ethic that prepares them for graduate study and future careers. We remain connected with our former scholars; over 90% of SCERP graduates (N=83) are employed in biology-related careers. We have been particularly successful at placing students in M.S. (32), Ph.D. (11), and single-subject teaching credential (5) programs. Established in 2002 with support from the NSF that ran until 2016, SCERP currently operates with support from philanthropic donations, private foundations, and the university. SCERP engages advanced students in research, prepares scholars for graduate school and future careers in biology, and creates a community of scholars that remain connected to the program and CSUF Biology.

What trends should we look for it we want to identify stocks that can multiply in value over the long term? Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. However, after briefly looking over the numbers, we don't think Hyundai Green Food (KRX:453340) has the makings of a multi-bagger going forward, but let's have a look at why that may be. What Is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)? For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Hyundai Green Food: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.15 = ₩103b ÷ (₩905b - ₩206b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2024). Thus, Hyundai Green Food has an ROCE of 15%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Consumer Retailing industry average of 12% it's much better. Above you can see how the current ROCE for Hyundai Green Food compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for Hyundai Green Food . So How Is Hyundai Green Food's ROCE Trending? There hasn't been much to report for Hyundai Green Food's returns and its level of capital employed because both metrics have been steady for the past . This tells us the company isn't reinvesting in itself, so it's plausible that it's past the growth phase. So unless we see a substantial change at Hyundai Green Food in terms of ROCE and additional investments being made, we wouldn't hold our breath on it being a multi-bagger. The Bottom Line In a nutshell, Hyundai Green Food has been trudging along with the same returns from the same amount of capital over the last . Although the market must be expecting these trends to improve because the stock has gained 12% over the last year. Ultimately, if the underlying trends persist, we wouldn't hold our breath on it being a multi-bagger going forward. One more thing to note, we've identified 2 warning signs with Hyundai Green Food and understanding them should be part of your investment process.

Tatjana Gerhard made the human figure the central point in her paintings. Her work is recognizable yet simultaneously alienating: it attracts and repels. The artist is not interested in the perfect, pleasant exterior but in what lies beneath it. What is going on in our heads? And why do we behave differently according to the context? Oil paint is the perfect medium for Gerhard to address these questions. Her work is created completely spontaneously, without knowing where it will lead. Sometimes her paintings are playful and full of fun: sometimes they have the aura of a nightmare.

The concept of death changes as we develop from early childhood to late adulthood. Cognitive development, societal beliefs, familial responsibilities, and personal experiences all shape an individual’s view of death (Batts, 2004; Erber & Szuchman, 2015; National Cancer Institute, 2013). Infancy: Certainly infants do not comprehend death, however, they do react to the separation caused by death. Infants separated from their mothers may become sluggish and quiet, no longer smile or coo, sleep less, and develop physical symptoms such as weight loss. Early Childhood: As you recall from Piaget’s preoperational stage of cognitive development, young children experience difficulty distinguishing reality from fantasy. It is therefore not surprising that young children lack an understanding of death. They do not see death as permanent, assume it is temporary or reversible, think the person is sleeping, and believe they can wish the person back to life. Additionally, they feel they may have caused the death through their actions, such as misbehavior, words, and feelings. Middle Childhood: Although children in middle childhood begin to understand the finality of death, up until the age of 9 they may still participate in magical thinking and believe that through their thoughts they can bring someone back to life. They also may think that they could have prevented the death in some way, and consequently feel guilty and responsible for the death. Late Childhood: At this stage, children understand the finality of death and know that everyone will die, including themselves. However, they may also think people die because of some wrong doing on the part of the deceased. They may develop fears of their parents dying and continue to feel guilty if a loved one dies. Adolescence: Adolescents understand death as well as adults. With formal operational thinking, adolescents can now think abstractly about death, philosophize about it, and ponder their own lack of existence. Some adolescents become fascinated with death and reflect on their own funeral by fantasizing on how others will feel and react. Despite a preoccupation with thoughts of death, the personal fable of adolescence causes them to feel immune to the death. Consequently, they often engage in risky behaviors, such as substance use, unsafe sexual behavior, and reckless driving thinking they are invincible. Early Adulthood: In adulthood, there are differences in the level of fear and anxiety concerning death experienced by those in different age groups. For those in early adulthood, their overall lower rate of death is a significant factor in their lower rates of death anxiety. Individuals in early adulthood typically expect a long life ahead of them, and consequently do not think about, nor worry about death. Middle Adulthood: Those in middle adulthood report more fear of death than those in either early and late adulthood. The caretaking responsibilities for those in middle adulthood is a significant factor in their fears. As mentioned previously, middle adults often provide assistance for both their children and parents, and they feel anxiety about leaving them to care for themselves. Late Adulthood: Contrary to the belief that because they are so close to death, they must fear death, those in late adulthood have lower fears of death than other adults. Why would this occur? First, older adults have fewer caregiving responsibilities and are not worried about leaving family members on their own. They also have had more time to complete activities they had planned in their lives, and they realize that the future will not provide as many opportunities for them. Additionally, they have less anxiety because they have already experienced the death of loved ones and have become accustomed to the likelihood of death. It is not death itself that concerns those in late adulthood; rather, it is having control over how they die.

Celebrating Larry Bird: The Legend of the NBA Larry Bird, often hailed as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, remains an enduring icon in the world of sports. His storied career with the Boston Celtics not only revolutionized the game but also left an indelible mark on basketball history. As we celebrate his legacy, we look back at the remarkable journey of a man who epitomized excellence, determination, and sportsmanship. Early Life and College Success Larry Joe Bird was born on December 7, 1956, in West Baden Springs, Indiana. Growing up in a small town, Bird developed a love for basketball at an early age. His prowess on the court was evident during his high school years, leading him to a scholarship at Indiana State University. Bird’s time at Indiana State was nothing short of spectacular. He led the Sycamores to an undefeated regular season and a berth in the 1979 NCAA Championship game, where they faced Michigan State and a young Magic Johnson. Although Bird’s team fell short, his performance solidified his status as a top NBA prospect. NBA Stardom with the Boston Celtics Larry Bird’s professional career began when he was selected sixth overall by the Boston Celtics in the 1978 NBA Draft. From the outset, Bird made an immediate impact, earning Rookie of the Year honors in 1980. His arrival rejuvenated a struggling Celtics team, leading them to a remarkable turnaround and setting the stage for one of the most successful eras in franchise history. Bird’s rivalry with Magic Johnson, who joined the NBA the same year, became one of the defining storylines of the 1980s. Their matchups, especially in the NBA Finals, captivated audiences and elevated the popularity of the league. Bird’s fierce competitiveness, unparalleled work ethic, and basketball IQ set him apart. He was a versatile forward known for his scoring ability, rebounding, and playmaking skills. His iconic battles with the Los Angeles Lakers, particularly the three NBA Finals matchups (1984, 1985, and 1987), are legendary. Accolades and Achievements Larry Bird’s list of accolades is extensive. He was a three-time NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986), two-time NBA Finals MVP, and three-time NBA MVP (1984, 1985, 1986). Bird was a 12-time NBA All-Star and was named to the All-NBA First Team nine times. He is widely regarded as one of the best clutch performers in the history of the game, known for his ability to deliver in crucial moments. Bird’s contributions extended beyond his individual accolades. He played a pivotal role in revitalizing the Celtics franchise, bringing pride and championship glory back to Boston. His leadership on and off the court set a standard for excellence and professionalism that continues to influence players today. Life After Basketball After retiring in 1992 due to chronic back problems, Bird remained active in the basketball world. He transitioned into coaching and executive roles, serving as head coach of the Indiana Pacers and later as the team’s President of Basketball Operations. His basketball acumen and strategic mindset translated well into these roles, earning him further respect and admiration within the league. Legacy and Impact Larry Bird’s impact on the game of basketball transcends his statistics and accolades. He was a symbol of hard work, determination, and unwavering dedication to his craft. Bird’s legacy is not only defined by his on-court achievements but also by his sportsmanship, humility, and the respect he garnered from peers and fans alike. Bird’s influence is evident in the generations of players who followed. He set a standard for excellence that aspiring basketball players strive to emulate. His contributions to the game have ensured that he will forever be remembered as one of the all-time greats. Larry Bird’s journey from a small-town kid in Indiana to an NBA legend is a testament to the power of perseverance, talent, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. As we celebrate his legacy, we honor a player who not only changed the game of basketball but also inspired countless individuals to dream big and work hard. Larry Bird’s story is one of triumph, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.

Table of Contents Detroit Lions is a Detroit based professional football team which was founded on July 12, 1930. The team plays in the NFL and belongs to the NFC Northern Division. When it was founded, it was named the Portsmouth Spartans. It was later moved to Detroit and adopted the name Detroit Lions in 1934. Ford Field is the American football stadium in which the Lions conduct their home games. Quick Info | | Established | July 12, 1930 | Head Coach | Darrell Bevell | Owner | Sheila Ford Hamp | General Manager | Bob Quinn | Franchise Value | US $2.1 Billion | The Lions are represented by the colors blue and white. They have worn silver helmets from the very start. To date, the Lions have won 4 NFL Championships. They won their last championship in 1957. They are the second on the line for most years with no championship won. They are the only team to be operational in all 54 Super Bowl seasons and are the only NFC team that hasn’t played in the Super Bowl. Sheila Ford Hamp owns the organization, and their head coach is Matt Patricia, was fired on November 28 of 2020. The Detroit Lions got established in Portsmouth in 1929 as the Portsmouth Spartans, which, after successfully playing against local semi and fully professional teams, they were inducted into the NFL. There they played very successfully with head coach George Clark and college star Earl Clark. In 1931 you could become runner-up, and in 1932, you were at the top of the table after the regular season together with the Chicago Bears. To clarify the question of the rightful titleholder, an additional game was agreed upon. This game is now considered the first unofficial playoff game in NFL history. The Bears defeated the Spartans with 0: 9 points. However, the Great Depression also gnawed at the Spartans, which is why they, like many other teams, were on the verge of collapse. To save the crew, Joe Carr, NFL commissioner from 1921 to 1939, devised a plan to move the Spartans to Detroit. A buyer was found in George A. Richards, director of the radio station World Junior Records (WJR). The team was renamed the Detroit Lions in 1934, based on the Detroit Tigers’ professional baseball team. In retrospect, the progress turned out to be very successful for the NFL, as they were finally able to establish a “Motor City” team in the fifth attempt. Besides, the Detroit Lions won the NFL title for the first time in 1935, the same year the Detroit Tigers won the World Series for the first time, and just before the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup for two years. Martha Firestone Ford stepped left the position of the chairperson of the Lions on June 23 of 2020. Sheila Ford Hamp, her daughter, succeeded her. On November 28 of 2020, Quinn and head coach Patricia were fired due to a shaky 4-7 start to the season. Detroit Lions are active on internet media programs like Insta, Twitter, and Facebook. They have 727k followers on Instagram, 1.8 million followers on Facebook, and 1.3 million followers on Twitter. You can follow them on: As of November of 2020, the Detroit Lions’ franchise value is estimated to be around US$ 2.1 billion. On the Forbes NFL team evaluation list, they lie on the 30th spot.

European Super League: All six-big Premier League clubs withdraw from competition The Premier League is considering all actions available to prevent it from progressing. The Premier League is considering all actions available to prevent it from progressing such a league will destroy the pyramid of the football world. Manchester United announced they had “listened carefully to the reaction from our fans, the UK government, including other key stakeholders” in making their conclusion to not take part. Manchester City affirmed they have “formally enacted the plans to withdraw” from the Super League. Liverpool club stated their involvement in the proposed breakaway league “has been discontinued”. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy told the club regretted the “anxiety and upset” caused by the proposal. Chelsea affirmed they must “begun the formal procedures for alienation from the group” that they only joined “late last week”. Arsenal apologized in an open letter to their fans and said they had “made a mistake”, adding they were withdrawing after listening to them and the “wider football community”. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin welcomed the reversal, adding: “They are back in the fold now and I know they have a lot to offer not just to our competitions but to the whole of the European game. “The important thing now is that we move on, rebuild the unity that the game enjoyed before this and move forward together.” It all happened after the connected protest ongoing by fans against the breakaway league. Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge, around 1000 fans gathered outside of the ground before their game against Brighton on Tuesday to protest at their club’s involvement. Premier League ‘big six’ club was part of a group, also comprising Spain’s Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. Plus Italy AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus, that stated plans to form the breakaway league, which they expected to establish as a new midweek competition. In England, it was condemned by football fans, football authorities, and by government in the UK and across Europe by UEFA and league associations. The league would have given more power to the elite club, to the most prominent clubs in exchange for a substantial financial compensation package and a greater portion of broadcast revenues for the English Football League (EFL).

A big, thick defenseman, left handed Owen Protz, is one player that is making tracks. Being a bigger player, Protz is a strong defender, however, he also is pretty decent in the speed department. No where near the fastest, but not the slowest, which is why Protz is working on his footspeed so he will be able to keep up in the OHL. Protz sees the ice very well, and has a physical edge to his game from time to time. As well as this, Protz loves to join the rish, making him a very valuable asset to his team on the offensive side of the game. OHL wise, Protz could find himself going sometime in the mid rounds of the 2022 draft, where he could continue to work on his speed, as well as put his size to work as he continues to grow. With this, Protz could end up turning into a very tough, offensive minded defenseman, who can make beautiful, crisp plays, as well as helping the offense out by jumping into the rush. While it is certainly too soon to tell how Protz will turn out at the next level, if he can work on his skating to keep up in the OHL, he could be a rather solid pick for whichever club chooses to select him.

Resource author(s): Sarah Smith Lunsford, Jonathan Jones Key topics: Learning and Capacity Strengthening, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research, Technical Assistance Related countries: Global A decade before COVID-19 forced a global pivot away from in-person programming, EnCompass was already integrating virtual MEL approaches. Participatory virtual design, data collection, and learning sessions use resources efficiently and bring stakeholders together across geographies, including individuals who might not be able to participate otherwise. Virtual monitoring, evaluation, and learning activities help avoid delays, reduce cost and footprint, increase participation coverage, and even enhance evaluation rigor. This brief highlights some of the benefits and opportunities of working with EnCompass for effective virtual monitoring, evaluation, and learning. The authors present how our participatory design, data collection, and learning approaches use resources efficiently in virtual settings. Importantly, virtual MEL brings together stakeholders from across geographies, including those who might not be able to participate otherwise. EnCompass uses context-appropriate technology, from WhatsApp to Adobe Connect, and cutting-edge virtual facilitation techniques to ensure meaningful stakeholder participation that parallels face-to-face engagement. This allows an organization to gain the insight into the progress and challenges facing a program—insight that is essential for MEL, even if activities occur from a distance. This brief may be considered a companion piece to EnCompass’ resource on evaluation during the COVID-19 pandemic: An Evaluator’s Guide to COVID-19: Using Evaluative Thinking to Learn and Adapt Programs.

It should, at the very least, get you in trouble with your boss. But these days, as others have noted, being an activist is simply another part of one’s career, one’s social life, one’s brand. It’s something you perform on Twitter and brag about on LinkedIn. The risk has evaporated and that begs the question: what does real activism actually look like? This question has animated much of my reading this year: from Clayborne Carson’s Martin Luther King Jr, to Roy Foster’s examination of Ireland’s revolutionary generation in Vivid Faces. But the book that today’s Twitter activists could perhaps learn the most from is John Loughery and Blythe Randolph’s deeply researched and highly entertaining biography of Dorothy Day. This rambunctious American peace activist emerged in times that echo many of the crises we currently face, but her answer to them was, inspiringly, different. Born to a relatively comfortable middle class family in 1897, Day enjoyed a misspent youth among the radicals of 1920s Greenwich village, falling in love with feckless journalists and drunk intellectuals, writing novels, experimenting with feminism and socialism, and trying to figure out how life should be lived. If a friend of Dorothy’s was going to be arrested — and they often were, for agitating for votes for women in the 1910s, or protesting against the arms race in the 1950s or Vietnam in the 1960s — you could safely bet that she would be right there alongside them. The Groucho Marx saying about how a good friend will try to bail you out of jail, while a best friend will be in the cell next to you, could have been written about Dorothy. Dorothy did not have to agree with you to love you. Her worldview did not depend on ideological convergence between friends — unlike that of today’s activists, who often insist on absolute purity and cannot tolerate disagreement. While Day’s openness allowed for the hectic fun of her early life, it gathered depth and meaning when she converted to Catholicism in her early thirties and began the journey that would lead to the foundation of her influential movement and newspaper, the Catholic Worker. Dorothy’s conversion was an enormous surprise to her friends — she ran with a bohemian set and had been inclined towards communism as a young person (who isn’t?). But she ultimately declined communism’s emphasis on material progress as the only thing mankind need bother itself over. She needed more, and she thought humanity in general did too. Dorothy saw each individual as a whole person — which helped her avoid the horrific dehumanisation of the great ideological catastrophes of the twentieth century: ones that many of today’s activists, in their determination to hate those who don’t agree with them, seem bent on replicating. Dorothy, on the other hand, practised the love she preached. In 1933, she and Peter Maurin — a penniless French intellectual drunk on the radical potential of the Gospel — founded a “House of Hospitality” in Dorothy’s stomping ground of lower Manhattan. The House was for anyone who needed shelter, food and care — no questions asked. Crucially, no standards of behaviour or personal hygiene had to be adhered to. Dorothy liked to tell newly arrived volunteers at the House: “there are three things you have to remember about very poor people who live on the street: they don’t smell good, they aren’t grateful and they are apt to steal”. This is not the carefully sanitised language of the modern activist; it’s the no-bullshit lowdown from someone who lived her word. Dorothy was not interested in saving people: her religiosity was non-evangelical, her compassion was not charity. It was not about control.

Marketing can be a challenging task for most businesses regardless of whether or not they are small. Remember that marketing is crucial considering that there is now stiffer competition between businesses. The development in technology has also brought new marketing techniques that can help your business thrive. Unfortunately, these new marketing techniques can be harder to master, especially if you are using an in-house team. The good news is that you can use a marketing agency to find solutions for your business. There are many marketing agencies out there, so you need to make sure that you find the right one. This article discusses the key things to look out for before hiring a marketing agency. The best way to find the right marketing agency is to look at their experience. If the potential marketing agency claims to have experience working in your industry, then ensure that their portfolio shows it. You can check the testimonials of their clients on independent review sites and speak with their former clients. You can also check the marketing channels the marketing agency is utilizing to promote its services. Their branding, advertisements, social media, website, and client interactions can determine its credibility. You can also evaluate the creativity, quality, and effectiveness of their work. After all, if a marketing agency can do it for itself, then it can also do it for you. The specific offers When looking for the best marketing agency, you should also check the specific offers the marketing agency has. You need to make sure from the start that the agency you intend to work with has the services you want. List down all your needs and choose a marketing agency that can offer solutions to these needs. This is the only way you can rest assured that the marketing agency can provide maximum help for your business. Above all, you should look for weaknesses in your marketing team’s performance so that you can decide whether or not you need a marketing agency to fill this gap. Once you decide to hire a marketing agency, make sure that the contract is well-written to meet your demands and needs. The marketing agency’s employees Several reputable marketing agencies are hands-on with their work while others can simply assign you an intern after completing negotiations with you. Keep in mind that you can still work with an intern, but you need to have marketing experts to get better results. This is especially true if you are already finding it hard with your marketing campaigns. In such cases, you need to get assured that the money you are spending on hiring the marketing agency will offer the best results. Therefore, in such situations, it’s not the right solution to work with an intern. You need to agree with the potential marketing agency from the start so that there is no mismatch in responsibilities. The right marketing agency may tell you early on the marketing experts that will be assigned to you.

- "You really are a contemptible vermin, Tookarti." - ―Count Dooku, to Tookarti Just prior to the Battle of Kamino, Jedi Knight Aayla Secura traveled to the Wheel in search of her former Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. At the time, Secura was traveling under the alias "Jayzaa," so as not to expose Quinlan's alias of "Quinlan Vos," whom she claimed owed her money. When she arrived, Tookarti acted as her guide. Fearing that "Jaayza" was a spy or assassin, Tookarti hired a few thugs to "inflict truth" on her. However, the Jedi easily defeated them and forced the Chadra-Fan to take her to Vos. To Tookarti's surprise, "Jaayza" and "Korto Vos" knew each other. He then helped them locate Khaleen Hentz, which led them to Zenex and his contact. Unbeknownst to all parties, Tookarti was secretly a double agent for Count Dooku, but he was confused as to why Dooku wanted the Jedi to discover the Confederacy of Independent Systems plans to attack Kamino. Later, Tookarti betrayed Vos on Nar Shaddaa which led the Jedi Council to send Agen Kolar to bring him in. Secretly, the Council knew Kolar would fail in his mission and thus making Vos' fall to the Dark Side more believable. After escaping Kolar, Vos found Tookarti and decapitated him. - The Official Star Wars Fact File 116 (FAL 1-2: The Fall of Quinlan Vos) - The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia

Two years ago, over a holiday weekend, a major cyberattack disrupted the Colonial Pipeline, shaking the United States’ Energy Sector to its core. The Colonial Pipeline Company, one of the largest oil distributors in the U.S., was hacked by malicious cybercriminals, who forced their way into the company’s private IT network and subsequently stole over 100 gigabytes of data via ransomware—all within a scant two hours. In an effort to mitigate the effects of the breach, Colonial opted to shut down their pipeline altogether, the only viable option for stemming the ransomware’s spread. A dependable supply chain is, of course, critical to the Energy Sector and to its ability to power our lives. If (and when) that supply chain becomes compromised, the economy, the environment, and public safety itself can suffer. In this instance, the Colonial Pipeline was only shut down for six days, yet the crisis nevertheless resulted in emergency declarations across several states, fuel rationing and panic buying at the pump, and—nationwide—skyrocketing gas prices. Clearly, the impact of this single cyberattack was anything but slight. Some cybercriminals—as we saw with those who targeted the Colonial Pipeline—affect the supply chain with their attacks, while others use the supply chain itself in order to execute their nefarious schemes. How so? Through compromised and/or vulnerable technology products and solutions, especially those sourced through unverified channels, what’s known as the gray market. Within these off-brand or refurbished devices, any number of threats can lie in wait. Some may have undergone direct tampering or interference from a hostile nation-state. Other products may simply be end-of-life (EOL), or might rely on components that are now obsolete, posing a more benign—though no less serious—risk to those who choose to employ such products within their infrastructure. In a similar vein, software applications can also prove troublesome if not properly vetted; built-in malware aside, certain software dependencies can lead to inherent vulnerabilities within your network, which can then later be exploited by any number of bad actors. Thus, supply chain integrity is paramount across the board, and its prioritization is a worthwhile pursuit, one that helps protect your entire technology environment from disruptions and threats. A secure supply chain, therefore, should be a top priority for any organization seeking to procure IT hardware, software, or other solutions. Conducting regular internal reviews to identify potential vulnerabilities is a critical task, as is authenticating your suppliers and enacting the proper safeguards to keep your distribution network safe. Sterling, for its part, takes a rigid stance on the gray market and works only with those vendors/distributors who are authorized. We’re committed to preserving national security through these efforts, but also to ensuring that customers across all market segments remain compliant and secure. Specifically, we’ve made numerous investments into industry certifications as well as built-out a robust, Zero Trust methodology. A few of those investments include a(n): · Open Trusted Technology Provider™ Standard (O-TTPS) Certification · ISO 9001 Certification · Detailed Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Plan Contact us today to ensure you’re sourcing your IT solutions via a secure supply chain!

Hello, friends! Over the past few years, Thanksgiving has become one of my favorite holidays! Especially after last year, when everyone stayed home, it will be so great to gather with family again to celebrate! Emerson has been bringing home so many cute papers from kindergarten, all about turkeys, what he would like to have on his plate, turkey drawings, counting turkeys, you name it! Earlier this week, he brought home a drawing of us saying that he is thankful for his family, and on the other side was a poem along with a painted handprint making a little turkey. I love this kind of keepsake! And Remington brought home a laminated placemat with over 10 things that he was thankful for, including special mention of his little brother! Proud mama moment right there!!! And you’d better believe that both will be displayed proudly on our refrigerator! I know I have so much to be thankful for – like my village of family, friends, and neighbors, my amazing clients who invite to share some of their most important and personal moments, for the freedom and opportunity to do what I love each day, for the established and growing friendships and connections this line of work fosters, for our health, and especially for my sweet boys and my husband, who cheer me on, who share their hopes and dreams, fears and joys, and so many hugs! For all of this and so much more, I am so so grateful! I would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a relaxing and wonderful time, surrounded by friends, family, and those you cherish most! May you enjoy sharing a delicious meal with all your favorite dishes, a friendly game of cards, a walk outside, whatever makes you happy. (I always look forward to pumpkin pie! What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?) Above all else, I hope your day is filled with hugs, laughter, and making memories together! And know that I am thankful for you! Many thanks to Stefanie Childs for our adorable family portraits!

Turkey’s Presidential Communications Directorate, which has received 10,486 applications from journalists for the renewal of their press cards, refused to renew the press cards of 1,371 journalists, Turkish Minute reported, citing the Bold Medya news website. Deputy chairperson of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) Gülizar Biçer Karaca asked the Presidential Communications Center (CİMER) about the journalists whose press cards were cancelled or not renewed following a change in regulations in 2018. In response to Karaca’s questions, the Presidential Communications Directorate revealed that in addition to the press cards which have not been renewed, 1,238 press cards were cancelled between Dec. 14, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2020. The directorate said the number of press employees possessing a press card stood at 15,145 as of March 9, 2021. A new regulation that resets the criteria for journalists to acquire press cards in Turkey was adopted in December 2018 in a move that disappointed and angered journalist organizations as it made the cancellation of press cards easier. The new regulation included several controversial articles that are said to curb freedom of the press. In the section concerning the cancellation of press cards, a new article was added, saying that press cards shall be cancelled if journalists act against national security or the public order or make a habit of displaying such behavior. Earlier Turkey’s General Directorate of Press and Information was tied to the prime ministry but was subordinated to the presidency after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was re-elected president in June 2018 under a newly adopted executive presidency that greatly expanded his powers. Amid dwindling press freedom in Turkey, a report drafted by CHP lawmaker Utku Çakırözer, also a former journalist, showed that nearly 100 journalists appeared before a judge in March and that six of those journalists were given prison sentences totaling 15 years, two months. Three journalists were detained, while investigations were launched into two others. The Turkish government increased its crackdown on critical media outlets and journalists in the aftermath of a coup attempt in July 2016 following which dozens of journalists were jailed while more than 200 media outlets were closed down under the pretext of an anti-coup fight. The press cards of hundreds of journalists in Turkey were canceled on terrorism charges in the aftermath of the failed coup, when the Turkish government launched a massive crackdown on its opponents under the pretext of an anti-coup fight. According to the Stockholm Center for Freedom’s “Jailed and Wanted Journalists in Turkey” database, 174 journalists are behind bars in Turkey and 167 are wanted and either in exile or at large. A world leader in jailing journalists, Turkey was ranked 154th out of 180 countries in the 2020 World Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF).

Allmax Nutrition Casein-FX 2lbs Every serious athlete knows that protein is the name of the game when t comes to building lean muscle. Keeping your body fueled with protein means you will see an increase in your lean muscle mass, but not all proteins are created equal. Now from Allmax Nutrition, a leading and trusted brand in the fitness industry, comes a protein supplement designed to keep your body fueled with steady flow of muscle-building aminos: Casein-FX. This revolutionary protein supplement uses Allmax’s Enzyme Activation Technology to keep you constantly gaining, by way of increasing the amount of available muscle-building aminos – up to 4 times more than the average protein! Plus, since Casein-FX is comprised entirely of slow digesting protein, this means that you will be providing your muscle with a steady flow of protein for over 10+ hours! What’s more, Casein-FX’s slow digestive properties make it an ideal protein source to consume prior to bedtime in order to keep your muscles supplied with protein all night long. Since nighttime is when our bodies grow, supplementing with Casein-FX can have a profoundly positive impact on your gains – preventing catabolism (muscle wasting) and driving new muscle growth while you sleep. If you want to get bigger, you need to make sure your body constantly stays supplied with protein, especially during periods of fasting. Lack of protein will cause your body to enter a catabolic state, where it uses muscle protein for energy, a process that is the root of failure for most aspiring bodybuilders. Don’t let catabolism happen to you, and keep your muscles fueled with high quality protein so they can grow! Like all products from Allmax Nutrition, Casein-FX is produced in a cGMP facility and undergoes a rigorous 5-stage quality control process to ensure that you are getting only the finest and highest-quality ingredients at their most efficacious doses.

The Sacadas of Tango There are loads of sacadas on this site, these are just a few of them for you to look at. There are over 800 videos and articles (not including all the other stuff) on Tango Topics for you to watch and to learn from. It’s not just the videos, but the articles that contain the most of what you need to know to elevate your dance. What is a Back Sacada ? The easiest way to describe this Sacada, which is a displacement, where either the Lead or the Follower will displace and then take the place of their partner by using a Back Step! Generally, these types of Sacadas require Applied Disassociation to make them happen for either role. What is a ‘Simple‘ Sacada ? The fact that we’re limiting the Sacada to two of the three basic walking steps: 1.) Side Steps. 2.) Forward Steps. The Sidestep is the more common of the two Sacadas, not the Forward. Usually, in order of precedence, it’s a.) The Lead Sacadas the Follower’s Side Step. b.) The Lead Sacadas Follower’s Forward step. c.)The Follower Sacadas the Lead’s Sidestep, and finally, d.) The Follower Sacadas the Lead’s Forward step. What is a Golden Sacada ? The Golden Sacada consists of 6 Sacadas that when placed together create the illusion of them being a ‘figure’ when in fact it’s actually a series of Sacadas that are chained together, or a Chained Sacada that flows quite nicely from one Sacada idea to the next. The reason we call this The ‘Golden’ Sacada, is that it contains 4 of the 6 most common Sacadas that we’ll use when we dance. The last 2 of the 5 Sacadas are uncommon but do allow for some interesting options and opportunities. What is a Crossing Sacada Turn ? In its simplest form it’s nothing more than a series of Simple Sacadas that are chained together that just so happen to utilize the Follower’s Molinete or ‘Turn’, which employs the Argentine Cross as it’s basis for entry. While the turn can be done without this entry point, it loses it’s ‘elegance’ by without using the Argentine Cross. When we’re first starting out with Tango, both roles see the idea of a sacada as cool, flashy, or impressive. And they are until you realize one simple, but immutable, fact: They’re illusions…of walking technique. The Sacada happens due to an intersection of the Follower’s walk into the Lead‘s or vice versa. At the same time, the Sacada is usually relegated to something that is done in open embrace and/or thought of as ’nuevo tango’ vocabulary. What is Intention Based Dancing? In its simplest form ‘Intention’ is really about not using pressure, tension, or force, with one’s arms, or hands in any way, shape, or form to communicate an idea, a thought, or a movement. But rather the idea of ‘Intention’ is to intend to do something. To propose, to invite, to advice, to guide, to profer…these are all statements that we, as dancers, are asking our Partners to engage X.

For most people the idea of practice is about practicing the dancing part. Not about the actual “practicing” part. Practice really wants to take apart what one does, how one does it, while asking for feedback & input. Then asking questions, and then figuring out where things aren’t working and why, to smooth out the rough edges of something, and then continually refine, and refine, and refine it so that it becomes effortless. Unfortunately, that’s not what happens. What happens is something along the lines of dancing with someone, there’s no feedback, there’s no invitation for discussion of what’s going on, there’s no discussion at all, you dance your way what is comfortable for you without thinking about what someone else is doing and why. Is that helpful ? No. Not generally. But this is what happens. 🙁 Sadly.

Khloe Kardashian sides with her brother Rob in his feud with ex-fiancé Angela “Blac Chyna” White on next week’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. It’s unclear at what point during their feud the upcoming episode of KUWTK was filmed, whether it was during their Snapchat beef or when he slut-shamed her across Instagram. During a conversation with Kim Kardashian-West, Khloe discussed Rob and Chyna’s beef, saying: “It just sucks that he’s made out [to be] this bad guy when she’s taunting him. Love makes you do f*cked up things. You think anyone’s proud of that? No”, says Khloe, “[but] you don’t f*ck with someone’s heart and emotions”. The day Rob posted private messages and pictures of Chyna on Instagram, he claimed Chyna was taunting him by sending her pictures and videos of her kissing another man, which he also reportedly posted to his Instagram page. Kim chimed in, saying: “[…]Rob having sisters, he should just know better and he should’ve just like controlled himself”. Watch the clip below:

Workspace expert Technopolis is committed to carbon-neutral energy use in all its properties by 2030. The path to carbon neutrality is built primarily on the development of energy efficiency in buildings and the introduction of renewable energy. Technopolis and its partners are using and piloting technology to optimize energy use: the solutions used on the properties are based, e.g., on automated data analytics and artificial intelligence. They ensure good, energy-efficient indoor air conditions and functioning property management. “Cooperation is needed to curb climate change, and we also believe it is the key to developing energy-efficient properties of the future. We are constantly piloting new technological solutions with existing and new partners. It is of paramount importance to us to advance the sustainability of our customers by introducing more climate-friendly solutions in our premises,” says Niko Pulli, CEO of Technopolis. Artificial intelligence anticipates and analyzes data 24/7 With artificial intelligence, it is possible to find phenomena and problems that are traditionally difficult for humans to detect. In addition, potential emerging problems can be detected quickly, as artificial intelligence analyzes data continuously, 24/7. Technopolis uses the EnerKey system for energy and sustainability management, which collects real-time data related to properties’ energy and water use for the benefit of property maintenance. EnerKey´s built-in intelligence feature, Ines, tirelessly studies the use of energy and water on the properties by combining the data with, i.e., weather data. With this combined information it will assess the energy efficiency of ventilation and heating systems and propose any necessary corrective actions. Ines' analyses also provide information for planning long-term maintenance of properties and increase understanding of the energy efficiency of the entire property portfolio and the characteristics of different properties. “When properties are well managed and maintained, maintenance fees also remain at a good level,” reminds Pulli. To develop energy efficiency further, Technopolis utilizes the L&T Smartti Automation system. Data is imported into the system from various sources, which can be used to anticipate changes, and to control and analyze properties even more efficiently. In the optimization, the system utilizes i.e., information related to heat load of the property, temperature fluctuations, and weather forecasts. In this way, with the help of information, the system can utilize the energy purchased in the best possible way. Analytical solutions, in turn, guide the maintenance of the property and enable the necessary property care, energy efficiency and permanence of conditions. Through L&T Smartti Automation, it is possible to implement digital innovations from various operators, such as solutions related to on-demand response and indoor air optimization, so that they can be easily integrated into the property. “In today's complex properties, attention must be paid to the user, the environment and the economy at the same time, and technology must be harnessed to serve all of these areas. With Smartti Automation, we can avoid sub-optimization and help our customers with energy-efficient property management. In the first three months, Technopolis achieved savings of more than 20 % in the temperature-adjusted total energy consumption of the pilot properties. This is an excellent result, which tells us that there is potential for savings in well-maintained properties, such as Technopolis, with the help of Smartti,” says Tuomas Hietala, Lassila & Tikanoja's Head of Energy Services.

Obviously you all know what Pokémon GO is, unless you have been living a life of seclusion somewhere in the mountains, with no human contact and no, well, internet(How did you get here?). No doubt the Augmented-Reality game has taken the world by storm, and still has a ton of users. It even surpassed long time runners Twitter, Facebook as well as Pornhub on most usage. And you have probably played as well as enjoyed it too. Pokémon GO – COMPETITIVE? When it first released, a select few (including me) were disappointed that it was nothing like the classic Pokémon games. Sure, both types say that your main objective was collecting every single Pokémon available, but the classic games eventually made you look around to find other trainers, so you could have a battle with them. You say Pokémon GO is also the same, with respect to the Gym system? Well there is a big difference, which I will tell you. First Off, Pokémon GO does not have direct battling, you are always just fighting an easy difficulty bot. There is no way to battle with someone directly and get the actual rush, like you could in the Nintendo console games. Recommended : Best RPG for Android! Competitive Battling in Pokémon games was rarely based on CP/Level, whatever you might call it. There was more strategy, more direct conflict, and overall, a lot more fun. Pokémon GO has quite literally no strategy except checking CP, and type matchups. They did however, implement the IV(Individual Values) appraisal feature in the game, which doesn’t make sense unless they were wishing to make the game more competitive. What are IVs? They are like skill points given to you during a presentation. They include HP, Attack & Defence. Basically, every Pokémon has different IV sets, and that’s the reason why your 1500 Vaporeon is beaten by your rival’s 1200 Vaporeon. IV points are from 0 to 15, with 15 being the best. If your Pokémon has higher IVs, it is quite obviously, a stronger Pokémon than average. IVs also exist in the classic games, though there they are counted from 0-31 and there are HP, Attack, Defence, Special Attack, Special Defence and Speed IVs to take into account. There are also other things that affect your stats, such as EVs, nature, items, etc. Don’t Miss : HOW TO BE A GOOOOOOD GAMER!? Putting Pokémon in gyms in GO is not as much about fighting, than to just show off to other trainers your progress. And the rewards, obviously. The game is true to Catching Every Single Pokémon Possible, which the other games tend to stray from. The appraisal feature, however, is a direct message that developers want this game to stay a worldwide phenomenon (it’s on the low tide now), even if it means using the old formula. Also, appraisals make for great memes. What do you think Niantic should do? Slowly follow the footsteps of Nintendo, or try to build around their own unique concept? Comment Below!

About our Photographic Enlargements: Each 10 x 15 inch image is printed on glossy photographic paper and is supplied hand-rolled and posted in a strong cardboard tube or is flat-packed to ensure safe delivery. We have chosen a selection of our favourite crop circles from the 2018 season for you to choose from. Chesterton Windmill 2018: Location: Chesterton Windmill had a unique and very attractive design. Built in 1632-33, the windmill itself sits on top of a circular building with six arches. Some have speculated that it may have originally been designed as an observatory, as its designer Sir Edward Peyto was acquainted with several notable architects of the day. The mill was operation until 1910 when its machinery ceased to function. You can read more about this fascinating building here. Design & Symbolism: This is a six-armed stylised star. Each arm is like an old-fashioned dumbbell crop circle design – seen in the early 1990s – one arm even has a ‘key’ another classical design feature. They also each have a series of 4 boxes, two each side of each arm – yet another feature from the classic crop circle design canon. However, it is also mixed with more modern design features such as multi-directional lays and weaving of the crop; the centre circle of the formation contains a beautiful six-armed star (or flower) woven into the laid crop. The design of the arms also has thin, standing pathways within them, something we saw in several formations last year (2017) at; Cherhill, Stanton St Bernard and Langdean Bottom. While the Chesterton Windmill has only 4 blades (or sails) and the crop circle has six arms, one is not a perfect reflection of the other, but the fact that the circle does have arms around a central circle does seem to echo the windmill in a strange way. Th fact that we have a modern-day crop circle next to an historical site – and that the formation itself is a mixture of classic, traditional design and modern, complex features – does give this formation a sense of being something that bridges time and place; history with present-day. It’s a also a very timely reminder of what a rich and fascinating history the crop circle phenomenon has and how many, only just coming to this subject, will know very little of the early days of the circles and their rich history and culture. Six is known as the number of ‘Structure, Function and Order’, also Economy and Perfection. It is one of the most common numbers found in crop circle design. Pythagoras considered it the perfect number, and the intimate way in which it is connected with circular geometry, made it of a perfected order. Anyone who had played with a compass on paper will quickly learn that division of a circle by six, then 12 and 24… is effortless because of the way this can become without changing the diameter of the compass, and not only that, simple repetitive protocols make ever expanding, and ever more complex patterns simply child’s play.

In recent months, Tennessee has found itself grappling with the reemergence of a dangerous gang known as Tren de Aragua. Originally formed within the prison system in Venezuela, this gang has rapidly expanded its nefarious activities throughout the Western Hemisphere, now making its presence felt in all major cities across Tennessee. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has raised alarms about Tren de Aragua’s involvement in human trafficking, organized retail theft, and drug-related crimes, signifying a serious and escalating threat to public safety. Tren de Aragua began as a prison gang in Aragua, Venezuela, primarily composed of inmates seeking power and control within the prison system. However, the gang has evolved over the years, diversifying its criminal activities and establishing itself as a transnational criminal organization. The U.S. Department of Treasury has identified Tren de Aragua as a significant threat, sanctioning the gang for activities that include human smuggling, drug trafficking, and money laundering. The gang’s operations are particularly notorious for targeting vulnerable populations, especially migrant women and girls, who are often subjected to sex trafficking and debt bondage. One of the most alarming aspects of Tren de Aragua’s activities is its involvement in human trafficking. The gang has been known to facilitate the illegal transport of Venezuelan women into the United States, specifically targeting Tennessee. TBI director David Rausch highlighted the gang’s resurgence in 2023, raising concerns about their renewed human trafficking operations. With reports indicating that the gang is back in all major cities in the state, the urgency to address this threat cannot be overstated. Human trafficking is not just a local issue; it is a significant human rights violation that affects communities nationwide. Victims of human trafficking are often lured by false promises of employment and a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of exploitation. Tren de Aragua’s tactics include using violence and intimidation to maintain control over their victims, and in some instances, they have reportedly resorted to murder to eliminate those who attempt to escape. In addition, to human trafficking, Tren de Aragua is involved in a variety of other criminal enterprises, including organized retail theft and drug crimes. Their ability to adapt and infiltrate local criminal economies allows them to thrive and expand their operations. The gang’s involvement in drug trafficking, particularly with substances like cocaine and MDMA, poses a significant threat to public health and safety. Moreover, their collaboration with other organized crime groups, such as Brazil’s Primeiro Comando da Capital, amplifies their reach and influence across borders. The resurgence of Tren de Aragua in Tennessee underscores the need for a coordinated response among locale, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. While local law enforcement in cities like Knoxville have reported no direct sightings of gang members, they remain vigilant and are closely monitoring for any signs of activity. The TBI is also working to alert agencies in other states about Tren de Aragua’s movements, emphasizing the importance of information sharing and collaboration in combating transnational crime. As Tren de Aragua continues to adapt, they have moved away from distinct tattoos that once made gang members easily identifiable. This change complicates efforts for law enforcement to track and apprehend members, further necessitating proactive and unified strategy against their operations. The threat posed by Tren de Aragua is multifaceted and far-reaching, affecting not only Tennessee but also communities across the United States and beyond. The gang’s involvement in human trafficking, drug crimes, and organized retail theft makes it imperative that state leaders, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations work together to dismantle their operations. Public awareness and education on the signs of human trafficking and gang involvement can empower citizens to assist in these efforts. Addressing the challenges posed by Tren de Aragua requires commitment at all levels of government and society to ensure that vulnerable populations are protected and that those who seek to exploit them are brought to justice. The time to act is now, as the safety and well-being of countless individuals hang in the balance.

The Parents Forum raises money for the Student Welfare Fund which supports students and their families during difficult financial times. The main income is through the Second Hand Uniform shop which was founded in 2017. Over the last decade, we were able to assist many students and families with food, fees, stationary and uniform items. This support was very much appreciated, especially during covid times. On Saturday the 10th of December we are holding our yearly big uniform sale in the gym 3 (main gym), more information about this will follow in an email next week. At the end of each year, we organise the staff morning tea to celebrate WGHS staff.

Thank you so much so for your delicious dishes, for the amazing gifts and to all the helpers. As some of you already know, I am stepping down as Chairperson of the Parents Forum. I started as Chair of the PTA at WBHS in 2008, and came to WGHS in 2011. It has been a privilege to have been in this role for more than a decade and to have been able to help so many students. Also, a big thank you to Kim Ferguson who has been by my side for many years. Setting up the Second Hand Uniform Shop has been our biggest achievement to date and has helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars for the Welfare fund. We will be leaving the Second Hand Uniform Shop in very capable hands within the next two months. The new Chairperson is Tracey Smith, current Chair of the PTA WBHS, and joining her will be MJ van Rhiemen. Thank you so much Tracey and MJ for putting your hands up to continue the Second Hand Uniform Shop. I am sure that under your leadership, the shop will expand and will see an increase of funds to support more and more students in the future. Thank you again so much.

For many counties, property taxes contribute a large portion of their revenue. When property taxes are unpaid, these counties face the dilemma of how to turn these properties from $0 revenue to recurring revenue again. Some counties are reviewing the number of properties they own due to delinquent taxes and searching for a solution for how to sell these surplus properties. Coweta County in Georgia has acquired 173 properties by way of tax sales. The properties range from vacant lots to parcels of 20+ acres. Several properties include improvements, such as one property that has 4 houses on it. Although most of the properties are located throughout the county, several subdivisions include multiple lots. These include Peachtree Plantation, The Grove at Orchard Hills, Bohannon Woods and Four Seasons. The County has held some of these surplus properties for more than 10 years. It has determined that it is in the best interests of the citizens to sell the properties in a timely manner to return them to private citizens and put them back on the tax digest. The Coweta County Board of Commissioners has elected to sell the properties by auction and has retained Terry Howe & Associates, Inc. to conduct the auction due to its experience selling government-owned and tax deed properties. Bidding for individual properties starts at only $100.00, and all properties will be sold to the highest bidder. The County has not conducted a title search on these properties and does not warrant title or convey the right to possession. Each property will be conveyed by quitclaim deed and is subject to right of redemption provided for in O.C.G.A. 48-4-45 et seq. A property may be redeemed by the original owner or successor in title prior to the auction. Online bidding for the properties will open on or before Friday, October 14, 2016 and will close on Wednesday, October 26, 2016. All available properties and an interactive map can be viewed at www.bidcoweta.com.

If you’ve ever worked as a server you’ll know how tough it is physically and how hard you have to work for your tips. Courtney English, 23, is eight months pregnant with her first child. In order to prepare for the birth she waits tables at the Lamp Post Diner in New Jersey. The hardworking waitress is struggling to pay the bills while preparing for her big arrival. As she works her shift, carrying her baby, with the usual smile on her face, she serves a local police officer. The hardworking waitress is trying to save as much money as she can before the birth of her daughter. On a busy Friday, English served a new face among her tables of regulars: a local Voorhees County police officer. The officer came in to get lunch and she served him with her usual smile and the pair engaged in some casual conversation. He had his meal, went to the counter to pay and left the restaurant When it came to getting the check, his bill came to $8.75. But he didn’t just leave the usual payment with customary tip. What he wrote on his bill made headlines across the nation. The Voorhees police officer left a message for her on his receipt: “Enjoy ur 1st. You will never forget it.” He also left her $100 tip for his $8.75 check. “It was from the heart. It really touched her,” dad Brian said. “There have been plenty of situations where she got a nice tip, but just the little remark was what got her.” Courtney was so overwhelmed, she went running to her boss crying. Her dad shared her story on Facebook and it quickly went viral. So many were moved by this kind-hearted gesture. See full story in video below:

The combination of the heavy weight and the rubberized feet ensures that the unit will stay put during combat. State-of-the-art parts optimize performance while guaranteeing durability in the long run. The unit is quite heavy. However, it is quite easy to justify the weight given that the parts are hefty and of high quality. The hinged door on the rear side contains the USB cable, another USB cable, a hex screwdriver, and some room for more items. In order to use this unit with the PlayStation and Xbox, a second USB cable is needed to establish a connection.

For quick modding, there are alternative faceplates and a sheet of stickers. There are instructions in the manual on how to customize this arcade stick, including changing the faceplate and buttons.

The annual ASC Vision Mentorship Program is now open for your application submission. Here is the complete announcement, made on June 10: The American Society of Cinematographers was founded in 1919 with the dual purpose of advancing the art and science of cinematography and bringing cinematographers together to exchange ideas and techniques. ASC members have a long history of mentoring burgeoning artists and students, and the ASC Vision Mentorship Program expands and supports this critical mission. The Mentorship Program aims to make the cinematography profession more inclusive by sharing the professional experiences of our members with a wide range of cinematographers. Mentees will be chosen by the ASC and then paired with an ASC Mentor. They will receive the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the craft, focus their career objectives and hone skills. The number of accepted mentees will vary based on available mentors and the applicant pool. Mentor schedules permitting, mentees will receive a minimum of two meetings with their mentors during a one-year period. The ASC Vision Mentorship Program runs from September 2024 – August 2025. Should the mentor or mentee not be available to meet in person, the mentor will be available via Zoom, email or phone. Additional interactions or relationships will be at the sole discretion of the mentor. The mentor will be available to discuss professional questions and issues relating to career growth and objectives — this is not an appropriate space for the mentee to ask to be hired. The ASC Vision Mentorship Program is designed for working professionals with a deep commitment and actively pursuing a cinematography career. Successful applicants will have: • Serious interest in pursuing a professional career as a cinematographer • Minimum 5 years of relevant professional production or on-set experience • 25 years of age or older It is not a requirement that applicants possess a college degree or have earned a higher education in film. Recent college graduates should have at least five years of postgraduate professional experience prior to applying. The program is open to local, out-of-state and international applicants. Previous participants who were accepted into the program may not apply again. Applications accepted from June 10, 2024 – July 8, 2024. Please complete all. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. • Bio - 500 words maximum • Reel - 5-Minute Clip: This is NOT a sizzle reel. We want to see a finished scene or clip from something you’ve shot. We will accept TWO separate clips (both clips must be in one single Vimeo or YouTube link), a combined total of 5 minutes or less. Narrate your work in this clip and explain what your choices were — and why. This can include talking about lighting, camera moves, color schemes, and how you worked with the challenges of a location or time of day. How did you want your choices to work with the story or the mood of the project? Do you think you succeeded? If not, what would you do differently? What did you learn that will help you improve next time? • Show Reel: YouTube or Vimeo link. Show us how you represent and “sell” yourself. Give us an idea of the variety of work you've done — commercials, narrative, docs, etc. • Artistic Statement: In a short essay (500 words maximum), describe the challenges or hurdles that you have faced in your journey to becoming a cinematographer, your short- and long-term goals, and your personal philosophy on cinematography. Further details, including submission links to and all entry terms and conditions can be found here.

Texas Hottie Wrangles A Possum Straight Out of the Bar One possum didn't want the party to end one evening in Nacogdoches, Texas, so one beautiful cowgirl decided to take matters into her own hands, literally! The Banita Creek Hall in Nacogdoches had an unexpected guest one evening as the night was coming to an end. It was a possum! That's right, the nocturnal marsupial decided since the night was just getting started for them, that they would stop on in to the Banita Creek Hall for a sarsaparilla. Unfortunately for him, he was not welcome! And while others didn't know what to do in the situation, one pretty cowgirl decided this was a job for her! Check out how she decided to handle the situation! Careful, this language in this is NSWF! Check out how she just walks around as if she isn't even holding this critter in her hand, although she does mention that he's pretty heavy. I can't stop laughing at how the possum is flailing around, with its little feet dangling while she nonchalantly just carries him out of the place! Banita Creek Hall was super thankful for the Possum Queen that they've promised her next round is on them, rightfully so! The video itself has gained so many views and comments, mainly from people who are impressed at how the Possum Queen shows no fear! I, for one, am super impressed! I wouldn't be able to just grab the possum by the tail like that! Despite how cute a possum is, they can be pretty scary when they hiss! Good job, Possum Queen, you will never be forgotten!

(The Center Square) – Florida now has experienced 20 consecutive months of job growth and 14 consecutive months of labor force increases, the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity reports. The state continues to outperform national figures. In December 2021, the labor force was up 29,000 from the previous month, bringing the total number of people employed in the month to 10.6 million. Florida businesses gained 11,900 private-sector jobs in December 2021 compared to the previous month. The state’s unemployment rate is 4.4%, having decreased by 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. Florida businesses created 479,300 total jobs in 2021, increasing by 5.6% over the year, faster than the national job growth rate of 4.5%. Florida’s labor force today is greater than it was in February 2020, before the coronavirus hit, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity reports. In the past year, Florida’s labor force grew by 6.1%, more than six times faster than the nation’s. Florida’s strong job and economic growth is an indicator of consumer confidence in the job market, the department’s Secretary Dane Eagle said, with Floridians remaining “confident in their ability to find good jobs to continue providing for their families and enhancing their quality of life.” All of Florida’s major industries saw job gains over the year, including those that gained back all the jobs they lost during the pandemic. Industries that gained the most jobs over the month were Leisure and Hospitality, adding 8,400 new jobs. Trade, Transportation, and Utilities added 7,200 new jobs, and other services added 4,300 new jobs. Education and Health Services added 1,100 new jobs. “Month after month, the data continues to show that freedom first economic policies create jobs and keep our economy moving,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said. “Our new businesses and workforce growth show that Floridians have the opportunities they need to thrive. We will continue to lead the nation in economic growth because we value the individual freedoms of Floridians and protect the ability for our citizens to succeed.” There are roughly 550,000 available jobs statewide, the Department of Economic Opportunity reports. Job searchers are encouraged to apply at CareerSource Florida network. They can also register with Employ Florida and search listings of available job openings and receive free resources to help with interviewing skills, establish career goals or other job search needs.

While thinking about Stephen Strasburg’s injury, I began thinking of other pitchers who sustained injury or other medical conditions that cut their careers short. The top five I came up with were: 1) Mark Prior 2) Kerry Wood 3) Jim Maloney 4) Smoky Joe Wood 5) Sandy Koufax 1) Prior’s injuries began in 2005, and by the end of the year, his career was all but over. A look at his numbers through the 2005 season reveals a dominant pitcher. He was 40-21 with an ERA of 3.09. In his most dominant campaign, he went 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA and 245 strikeouts. For his career, he compiled a surprising 13.1 WAR in just a few short seasons. There is no accurate way to predict how good Prior could have been if injuries hadn’t wrecked his career. However, at only 25 when his career essentially ended, it’s probably a safe bet that he would have made many more All-Star appearances and competed for multiple Cy Young awards. 2) Kerry Wood was one of the most dominant young pitchers in history, much like Strasburg has shown to be so far. With 233 strikeouts in only 166.2 innings pitched, Wood made himself known in 1998. Then there was the 20 strikeout performance. Yet, Wood’s career was significantly derailed in 1999 when he underwent elbow surgery. He was never the same. While Wood has still had a long, relatively successful career, he could have been legendary. With a ridiculous 12.58 K/9 ratio, a K% of 33.3, and A FIP of 3.16 in 1998, Wood could have been one of the best strikeout pitchers of all-time. Instead, he struggled through six more seasons of starting before finding a home in the bullpen. 3) Jim Maloney never had a chance to throw for The Big Red Machine during the 1970’s. His time with the Reds was concentrated to the 1960’s and he was dominant. From 1960-1970, Maloney had 74 complete games and 30 shut-outs. He threw two no-hitters and struck out 200 or more batters four times. Unfortunately, Maloney severed his Achilles tendon early in 1970 and was never able to fully recover. He only pitched one more season before hanging them up at 31 years old. Had Maloney stayed healthy it is easy to picture the Reds winning more titles than they already did. Maloney would have only been 32 and at the height of his career during the 1972 season. His blazing fastball, stamina, and guts surely would have helped the Reds and probably would have landed Maloney in the Hall of Fame. 4) Smoky Joe Wood’s career was cut short by foot and ankle injuries. He continued to pitch as long as his lower legs would hold up, but peaked in 1912. Ty Cobb called him one of the best pitchers he ever faced. And he could have been better. Wood won 34 games in 1912, finished his career with 121 career complete games, and a 2.03 career ERA. Yet, he wasn’t able to start more than 18 games after the 1912 season. His ERA+ was 146 and he absolutely baffled hitters. Injuries probably kept him from being a 250-300 game winner and kept him out of the Hall of Fame. 5) Sandy Koufax, unlike Jim Maloney and Smoky Joe, overcame his injury shortened career and is enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Had it not been for arthritis and injuries, though, Koufax could have been the greatest of all-time. He threw four no-hitters, including one perfect game. He has a career ERA of 2.67 and an ERA+ of 136. He won three Cy Young awards, and he struck out 2,396 batters. All this was accomplished by the age of 30. Had it not been for injury, and accounting for a likely reduction in production as he aged, Koufax could have struck out 4,000 batters, could have won 300 games, and could have piled up even more no-hitters and Cy Young awards. There are countless stories of pitchers whose careers were cut short by injury. We will never know what could have been, but with these five players, their early career results speak for themselves.

Having seen what this resale unit looks like now, one simply can’t imagine how the home used to be. With chic curves and a brand new layout, this stunning home transformation is bound to make you go “wow”. Due to the unique curved perimeter of this HDB unit, the homeowner had wanted to break away certain walls to not only enlarge the living room but also fully appreciate the natural curve that the home came with. “When we first asked the homeowner how she felt about this home, she mentioned that she liked the slight curvature of the external wall, which was different from the usual square pattern of ordinary HDB flats,” designer CY shared. “She also shared that she enjoys inviting friends over and would like to open up the bedroom next to the living room to achieve a more spacious gathering area.” Before – Living Room After – Living Room A peripheral curve embraces the space for gatherings The false ceiling is also shaped in a sweeping curve Inspired by Chinese calligraphy, the end of this bench resembles a ‘brushstroke’ taper with increasing thinness and lightness “We believe that design can help to induce certain actions within the space, for example, to relax, dine, or gather,” CY said. “We decided to celebrate the curved perimeter wall by introducing an inner curve that gathers the space.” Thus, a curved bench in grey laminate was created. The bedroom nearest to the living room was hacked to create the arc-shaped bench with multiple storage compartments within. The bench is roomy enough to seat multiple guests and encourages interaction without compromising on personal space. Before – Kitchen After – Kitchen The layout of the kitchen was kept the same but given an updated look with a fresh new white countertop above clean-lined base cabinets in mustard yellow. A terrazzo backsplash is featured along the kitchen counter, and a brand new long wooden shelf was placed above to create a storage and display area. Before & After – Master Bedroom The Master Bedroom is simply furnished with furniture from local shops, adding to the bits and pieces of retro-like trinkets around the home.

At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the health agencies were not sure about how long the health crisis would last. The vast majority, on the other hand, assumed as soon as businesses will resume after the end of the first lockdown, all people will be back to the normal world and life will be just the way it was prior to the pandemic. However, since the past few months, experts have been raising the question about the possibility of returning to the way of life before the start of this year. While all are hopeful that the crisis will come to an end, the timeframe has not been estimated. According to the World Health Organization, the pandemic can several more months to even another year to slow down, which is only happen if a vaccine is launched in the market and distributed effectively throughout the world. On the other hand, the leading infectious disease expert and member of the White House Task Force, Dr. Anthony Fauci emphasizes that while the crisis can be controlled, SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes the coronavirus infection, may never be eradicated. Research conducted on the infection in the past six months has established that the virus is highly contagious and can spread through multiple routes. All health agencies, including the WHO, now also recognize the possibility of airborne transmission of the virus, especially in indoor public spaces where practicing social distance is extremely difficult. Regardless of all the challenges that have come with the pandemic, many countries, including the US, which is currently the country with the highest number of coronavirus infections, is reopening. With the reopening of all kinds of businesses including restaurants, retail, entertainment centers, bars, and clubs, people are still encouraged to follow the previously suggested measures in order to effectively prevent the coronavirus infection. RELATED: Gulf War Syndrome – Is it Real? In many of the places including grocery stores, wearing a mask, and maintaining distance are required to minimize the risk of transmission. The change in everyday life and the world is obvious. People have indeed returned to work and schools just like they did before the coronavirus health crisis started but there have been multiple alterations in accordance with the needs of controlling the pandemic. This has led to many experts stating that this may ultimately become the ‘new normal’, which means that the vast majority may have to continue wearing a mask in public and maintaining distance in public spaces for many years. So, there is a possibility that the normal world and life which existed before the pandemic may never come back as many businesses and big corporations are even switching their plans and permanently creating new ways to work in order to tackle any similar situations in the future. For instance, Starbucks had announced that it will be closing many of its cafes and building more innovative takeaway-based stores that can allow people to keep visiting even during a public health emergency. It should also be noted that while the idea of change may not appeal to some people, the predictions do not say that the new normal would not be as good as the old one in any way.

It is safe to say that the Pittsburgh Penguins are not exactly having the season they originally envisioned. They are just barely back in the playoff conversation and even if they make the postseason will more than likely be a first round casualty. Pittsburgh’s front office has made plenty of mistakes this year and finding the positives has been difficult. However, there have been some bright spots in the lineup including forward Jason Zucker. At the start of the season, many people had already written him off as an injury-prone player who would not make much of an impact. Within the last couple months, he has become a rock for his team, and it is hard not to wonder where the Penguins would be without him. Penguins’ Second Line Zucker has become a constant on the second line for Pittsburgh along with Evgeni Malkin and more recently Alex Nylander. Nylander was brought up from Wilkes-Barre on emergency recall and has held his own in a spot previously held by Bryan Rust. In the Penguins’ most recent victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday, March 12, Rust reappeared on the first line with Jake Guentzel and captain Sidney Crosby. At this point, it is unclear how long Pittsburgh plans to keep Nylander around, but he seems to be fitting in well. So far he has played in three games and has one assist. His puck handling skills complement Zucker’s style of play, and he is good at making plays along the boards. Related: Penguins Acquire Kulikov From Ducks There was a lot of doubt surrounding Malkin at the beginning of the year and how effective he would be due to his age and previous injuries. He has played in 66 games and scored 23 goals with 47 assists for a total of 70 points. He has more than silenced those doubts. Although he has not scored a goal in the last five games, he has had a total of eight assists including three in the Penguins’ massive comeback against the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 7. He has been directing traffic on the second line all year, and it does not look like he plans to slow down anytime soon. Within the last few months, Zucker has become the heart and soul of the Penguins. Every time his team has needed a goal or a momentum swing he has been there to deliver. He has five goals in his last four games, and if he continues performing at this level is on track to have the best season of his career. His biggest struggle has always been staying healthy and staying on the ice. In the last two years he has battled numerous injuries which severely hindered his production; however, this year he has shown the Penguins what he is capable of when he is consistently in the lineup. Pittsburgh has some decisions to make when it comes to Zucker as he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. He is one of their top-producing players and an essential part of the first two lines, a group that has carried the team all season. He has done more than enough to earn a new contract, but what does that look like? At 31 years old, Zucker is not exactly in his prime years. Should the Penguins offer him a long-term deal even though they already have so many other players in that same category who are already under contract? General manager Ron Hextall has made a lot of questionable decisions this year, but the decision to re-sign Zucker should not be a difficult one. Pittsburgh did not do enough in the offseason last year to be a Stanley Cup contender this season. If they do not want history to repeat itself, re-signing Zucker would be the first step in ensuring that it doesn’t.

The delegation, led by Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, further demanded that the Prime Minister also make an appeal to the warring communities to end violence and promote brotherhood. It also apprised the President of the situation in the State and shared what they saw in the affected areas. “We submitted a memorandum to the President and how incidents of violence were continuing, especially atrocities against women and parading them naked. We told the President about everything, be it Manipur or Haryana violence,” Kharge told reporters after the meeting. “The main demand is that the Prime Minister should speak and visit Manipur and list out steps needed to bring peace in Manipur and provide relief to the people of the state,” he said. “We implore you to press upon the Prime Minister to urgently address Parliament on the prevailing situation in Manipur, followed by a detailed and comprehensive discussion on the matter,” the Opposition delegation said in the memorandum. “We urgently request your kind intervention to establish peace and harmony in the state without any further delay. Accountability for the devastation of the past 92 days must be determined. Both the Union government and the state government must fulfil their duty to provide justice to the affected communities,” the memorandum also said. The delegation said the President’s support and intervention are crucial in alleviating the suffering of the people of Manipur. He said over 5,000 houses have been burnt, more than 200 persons have been killed and over 500 people sustained injuries in the violence in Manipur so far even as 60,000 people have been displaced. Kharge alleged that the rehabilitation camps, where the affected people have been lodged, are not equipped with proper living or medical facilities. Kharge said that the President has assured to look into their memorandum and demands. Among those who accompanied Kharge were Tiruchi Siva, Kanimozhi, Rajiv Ranjan ‘Lallan’ Singh, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Gaurav Gogoi, Sushil Kumar Gupta, Sushmita Dev, Jayant Singh, Manoj Jha, among others. Kharge said the Prime Minister has neither been coming to the House nor making a statement on what steps he intends to take to bring peace and normalcy in the state. He said that the opposition has been demanding a discussion in both houses of Parliament on Manipur but the government is disallowing. “My mike is shut off within seconds after I am allowed to speak in Rajya Sabha and then the treasury benches start making noise. This is an insult to the leader of the opposition,” he charged, adding this is happening despite the Chairman saying that he sees the Leader of the House and that of the Opposition equally. For her part, Trinamool Congress leader Sushmita Dev also asked the president to nominate two Manipuri women from different communities to the Rajya Sabha to help rectify the grievous harm inflicted on women of the state. The Opposition bloc also raised the issue of communal tension in Haryana’s Nuh and alleged that the Central government was not bothered about the developments that are taking place “barely 100 km from the Prime Minister’s Office”.
