Keeping her leg required steely determination and an expert surgeon
UCHealth Limb Restoration program again lives up to its name
By: Todd Neff, for UCHealth
It was June 26, 2016, a glorious summer Sunday on the Tongue River Reservoir in southeastern Montana. Connie Judge rode a Sea Doo jet ski – the marine equivalent of a motorcycle – with her fiancé, Jerry Burnett, at the helm. They had come from Colstrip, about an hour and a half north of the reservoir, with friend Stacey Martin and two jet skis. With all the noise and splashing, they lost track of their friend. Burnett turned a bit so Judge could hear him and yelled “Where’s Stacey?” slowing way down as he did.
Dr. Jason Stoneback examines Connie Judge’s right leg, which he and many others at UCHealth played a big role in repairing over nearly two-and-a-half years.
Stacey had been right behind them on the other jet ski, but in a blind spot at just the wrong moment. The jet skis collided.
Burnett hammered forward so hard he broke the jet ski’s handlebars on his way into the water. Judge had gone in, too. Stacey Martin muscled Judge out by her lifejacket onto his jet ski as judge held tight to her lower right leg, which had taken a direct hit. It was in tatters, a bloody mess, bone exposed, the whole thing held together by her calf muscle. Boaters who had seen the accident came to the rescue – they happened to be husband-and-wife emergency medical technicians (EMTs) out with their kids.
The EMTs did the right things, and so did orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brenton Millner, who was on call at Sheridan Memorial Hospital in Sheridan, Wyoming, about 30 miles south. He set the leg as best he could, but it was clear that there were two options: amputate somewhere below the knee in Sheridan or be airlifted to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital at the Anschutz Medical Campus to see if they could save the leg.
Judge was on heavy painkillers and in and out of consciousness. She was just 24 and loved the outdoors, whether it was riding four-wheelers, snowmobiling, snowboarding, camping or fishing. Despite the mental fog, she went for the UCH option without hesitation.
“We’ve got this”
The flight and the night that followed were a blur. The next morning one team after the next stopped in – specialists in orthopedics, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and infectious disease.
On Nov 5, the day before her final surgery – cosmetic liposuction and contouring by UCHealth plastic surgeon Dr. Tae Chong – Judge describes how the ring fixator helped her own body regenerate new tibia bone to make up for bone lost in the accident and subsequent infection over a period of several months.
“Infectious disease was a big one because my leg was open in lake water,” Judge says.
On the orthopedic side, Dr. Jason Stoneback, chief of Orthopedic Trauma and Fracture Surgery at University of Colorado Hospital and head of the UCHealth Limb Restoration Program, would take the lead. He examined Judge’s leg. The tibia just above the ankle had been crushed; the fibula, broken in three places, was in better shape. It was bad, but he had seen worse. “We’ve got this,” he thought to himself.
Every orthopedic trauma case is different. But there are rules of thumb: clear out dead tissue and bone, wipe out infection, get the wound closed, stabilize the bone, reconstruct the soft tissue, reconstruct the bone. Doing all that takes diverse expertise. Care for an injury like Judge’s can involve vascular specialists, plastic surgeons, wound-care specialists, musculoskeletal and interventional radiologists, rehabilitation medicine specialists, prosthetics specialists, infectious disease experts and others. Among the ways they work together is in the Limb Restoration Multidisciplinary Meeting, which happens three Wednesdays a month. Here, experts ask other experts questions such as how to approach infection, which, given the immersion in lake water, had a high probability of infesting Judge’s leg.
They would clean it out surgically and administer antibiotics. The cleanout involved several procedures over the first two weeks of Judge’s monthlong hospitalization. Then Stoneback’s orthopedic trauma surgery colleague, Dr. Melissa Gorman, stabilized the bone with screws and plates and placed an antibiotic spacer to prevent infection. UCHealth plastic surgeon Dr. Tae Chong provided coverage over the bone with a muscle flap and skin graft from Judge’s calf muscles. Stoneback placed bone graft using bone from Judge’s femur into the large defect where the antibiotic spacer had been placed. At first, everything looked good.
Burnett drove Judge home, an eight-hour drive north. But her medical journey was just getting started. The infection they feared crept in: the UCH infectious disease team identified it as pseudomonas. It thrives in water – and, if given the chance, tissue and bone.
“It’s a very bad bacteria, and so the only way to completely get rid of the infection is to treat it like a cancer,” Stoneback says.
At right, an X-ray taken the day of the accident on June 26, 2016. At left, six weeks into the distraction osteogenesis on June 14, 2017. The idea was to close the gap at the point of injury by creating gap higher in the shin that would, with time, fill with new bone.
All the grafts, skin, tissue and bone had to come out again. The metal plates and screws would reignite infection, Stoneback and colleagues knew, so that hardware, too, was removed, leaving Judge with a gap in her shinbone as intravenous antibiotics did their work. The Limb Restoration team came up with a new plan.
First, Chong would move skin and tissue from Judge’s thigh and transfer it to her lower leg. Technically, that’s called an anterior lateral thigh flap (ALT).
“Whenever we’re looking to provide limb salvage, it’s all about whether or not there’s soft tissue coverage over the bone,” Chong says. “If you don’t have some sort of stable skin over the bone, it’s not salvageable.”
Second, once that healed, Stoneback would cut around the hard outer layer of Judge’s tibia (called a corticotomy) a couple of inches below the knee. Doing so would leave the blood vessels and other tissues inside and outside the calcified bone intact. Then Stoneback would fit Judge’s lower leg with a circular ring fixator to commence the process of bone transport via distraction osteogenesis.
That last bit is a mouthful, but it’s simple enough in concept: with help from erector-set-style hardware (the circular ring fixator) screwed into the tibia above and below the point at which Stoneback cut and again high and low on the tibia to provide stability. Judge would slowly grow another four centimeters (1.57 inches) of shinbone to close the gap the accident had left down low. The plan also involved planting antibiotic beads at the injury site – to make sure the stubborn pseudomonas were truly erased – and also cutting the edges of the damaged shinbone at the injury site so they would come together flush.
There was, in short, a lot involved. Stoneback reminded her that amputation was still an option – and might become a necessity.
“It wasn’t an easy decision for anybody,” Judge says. “They talked to me a lot about all my options and made sure I wanted to do this and I would do it. Because they knew it would be hard.”
It had already been hard. For nine months now, she and her fiancé had been leaving the dogs with Judge’s parents and driving 16 hours round-trip from Colstrip down to UCH once or twice a month – more accurately, Burnett drove, because Judge couldn’t drive, any more than she could put weight on her right leg. She had been in a wheelchair the whole time.
But she could still wiggle her toes. The leg, the foot – they were alive. She wasn’t about to give up.
“That was my main deciding factor, I think,” Judge says. “When I was like, I want to try. I want to do it.”
‘A magician’
Stoneback told her she would have to quit smoking – it constricts the tiny blood vessels she would need to regrow bone. Chong told her to stay away from caffeine, which could also limit blood flow and affect the flap. Without tissue coverage, there could be no bone repair and she would lose the leg. Unlike the abdomen or the thigh, the lower leg has very little skin to spare. It would be a challenging procedure, Chong recognized, one complicated by an anatomical quirk: Judge has only two arteries reaching into her lower leg, and one of them was damaged. Most of us have three lower-leg arteries that supply the lower leg and foot. Chong would use the undamaged artery and vein to provide blood flow to the thigh flap. While the vessels can be small (less than 2 millimeters in diameter, about the thickness of a nickel) they keep the flap alive and facilitate wound healing. Because of the anatomic variant, had Chong damaged the artery to which he was grafting the thigh flap, Judge’s foot could have died.
At right, the gap in Judge’s lower leg had closed by Aug. 10, 2017, and bone is thickening in the gap higher in the shin. At left, Judge’s tibia and fibula had fully healed by this July 2, 2018 X-ray.
In a delicate, eight-hour procedure in January 2017, Chong transferred the thigh flap. Judge stayed at UCH for a month, with nurses checking blood flow every hour. Had the flap not survived, it would have meant amputation.
It did survive, and by May, it had healed to the point that Stoneback could get to work, installing the ring fixator. For nearly three months, Judge adjusted the ring fixator three times a day, slowly separating the tibia where Stoneback had cut. She and Burnett moved into an apartment near UCH so Stoneback could keep close tabs on her during this critical phase.
By mid-July 2017, the gap at the original wound site had all but closed and the bone transport, as it’s called, complete. Stoneback took bone marrow from Judge’s hip to complete the repair at the injury site (her own body had regrown the four centimeters of bone higher up). The ring fixator, left in place to support her tibia as it healed, came off in November 2017. She started physical therapy.
PT and such things as routine X-rays and exams happened in Coltrip. For that, Lauren Lewis, the UCHealth Limb Restoration Program’s nurse navigator, is largely to thank. Among her other duties in smoothing the complex care paths of limb restoration patients, she helps patients arrange local care wherever possible. Being the only such program in the region, it attracts patients from far afield, including internationally, Stoneback says. Enabling patients to take care of medical business as much as possible close to home eases the personal and financial burdens on families, he says.
“We want them to get back to their optimal selves in their home communities,” he says.
Walking again
By the summer of 2018, she was walking without assistive devices. By early November, you’d miss her slight limp if you weren’t looking for it.
On Nov. 6, Judge was back at UCH for what was expected to be one last procedure of more than 20 in total. Chong would use liposuction to reduce the size of the tissue flap over the wound and apply some of the harvested fat below an area of thin scar tissue. In addition to improving the contours of the lower leg “to get people back in their cowboy boots,” as Chong puts it, filling in tissue below scars provides padding so they’re not as prone to break down. Judge and Burnett drove in from Montana to meet with Stoneback the evening before the procedure.
Stoneback had come straight from the operating room, the faint impression of surgical-cap elastic still fading from his forehead. He told Judge that she was, from his perspective, in the clear: fully healed, no restrictions. It had taken nearly two-and-a-half years. She still couldn’t quite stand on her toes because foot ligaments also took damage that summer day on the reservoir and muscle was sacrificed for that first flap. But she had kept her leg, her foot, her toes. She is deeply grateful to Chong and Stoneback “for believing that I could do this and for taking all the time and energy they did to totally reconstruct my leg. I truly believe if I hadn’t gone to UCH, I would have lost my leg two years ago.” She calls Stoneback “a magician.”
“I would never go anywhere else,” she says. “This guy changed my life.”
She tears up and hugs her surgeon.
“This is all you,” Stoneback says. “You came through this like a champ.”
“I couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Bobi wine wants to meet President Museveni” – Full Figure
Muwanga Ronald
Full Figure has been trolled, loved and hated for her involvement in politics, controversial statements, vulgar language and unapologetic eating of taxpayers’ money.
She was recently appointed a presidential adviser, and she has been loudly bragging about it.
At Full Figure’s office in Katwe, She was found surrounded by over 40 people from Busia, each trying to get her attention so she can help them meet President Yoweri Museveni or get a quick loan.
Full figure seemed and looked so calm and relaxed yet she is widely known on social media for making a lot of noise and vulgar utterances. When asked why she said:-
“My goal is to show everyone I come in contact with, my humanity. is is why I easily get in with every kind of person, from the highest position to the most ordinary.
With all the drama around you, don’t you get scared of your enemies? There is nothing I fear. Many people come to see me every day, and among those, I have friends, as well as enemies. But you can’t avoid such people.”
Speaking about her education Background she revealed that her parents died in the war that brought Museveni to power, so she did not get a chance to go to school. But acquired the necessary skills to help her maneuver through the hardships of life.
When asked what went wrong between her and Bajjo events promoter, Full figure said that she refused Bajjo who wanted to chew her sumbie yet he is so local.
Q: What went wrong between you and Promoter Bajjo aka Andrew Mukasa? “He wanted to have a romantic relationship with me, but he is not my type. He has ‘tied’ himself on my child, claiming that he is the father. He even wanted to marry me, but I refused because I don’t love him”
She added that he is accusing her of being a prostitute because she refused to give him a chance;-
Q: He said you were once a prostitute? “Bajjo is just saying that because I refused to give him a chance. He doesn’t even have the qualities of a ‘real’ man. Bajjo is jealous that I now have a high position. He doesn’t have a job and he’s just a noisemaker. Bajjo used to use me for fame because I have so many followers. He would post a picture of me online and people would send us money from America. I no longer do those stupid things. He is now faded, and that is why he attacks me. God saved me from eating bikomando . You people should let me enjoy my piece of meat. “
Speaking out on Bobi wine full figure said that Bobi is just playing hard to get, yet the truth is he is yearning to meet President Museveni so that he joins the winning side.
Q: Are you still friends with Bobi Wine? ”We are friends. We even talk. In this world, we work to become better people. Bobi Wine has been doing and saying silly things, but all he wants to do is meet Museveni. The good thing is that we are almost coming to an understanding.
Think your friends would be interested? Share this story!

Watch the video on webtv.un.org:
I am horrified at news reports and video footage showing African migrants in Libya reportedly being sold as slaves.
I abhor these appalling acts and call upon all competent authorities to investigate these activities without delay and to bring the perpetrators to justice. I have asked the relevant United Nations actors to actively pursue this matter.
Slavery has no place in our world and these actions are among the most egregious abuses of human rights and may amount to crimes against humanity.
I urge every nation to adopt and apply the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its protocol on trafficking in persons and I urge the international community to unite in fighting this scourge.
This also reminds us of the need to address migration flows in a comprehensive and humane manner: through development cooperation aiming at addressing its root causes, through a meaningful increase of all the opportunities for legal migration and through an enhanced international cooperation in cracking down on smugglers and traffickers and protecting the rights of their victims.

This Speaker Costs Nearly A Million Dollars And Is Made From Diamonds

This Speaker Costs Nearly A Million Dollars And Is Made From Diamonds Magico
Fans of epic movie soundtracks, timeless anthems and perfectly harmonised voices will know the importance of a good speaker, but this new pricey, diamond-clad piece of tech is on a whole new level.
Whatever comes after God Tier on the scale of greatness, that’s where the Magico M9 sits. The new loudspeaker establishes ‘new benchmarks in musicality, transparency and fidelity’, according to creator Magico, but naturally that level of excellence comes at a cost.
A pair of the four-way, six-driver floor standing systems will set you back a whopping $750,000, which is obviously a few hundred thousand dollars more than you might expect to pay for a good quality sound system.
Still, Alon Wolf, the CEO of luxury audio brand Magico, feels the speakers are actually a ‘bargain’ when you consider the materials they’re built with.
Magico speaker uses diamonds for higher quality sound Magico
The CEO told Tech Radar that in order to access a ‘wider frequency range’, the beryllium tweeter domes contained within the M9 are coated with a fine layer of diamond via ‘chemical vapor deposition’.
Together with the use of beryllium, the diamond deposit allows the drivers to move in pistonic motion – aka, rigidly back and forth.
This movement allows the speakers to avoid distortion, creating an accurate reproduction of the music being played through them and allowing listeners to hear details that may have previously gone unnoticed. Wolf said the ultimate goal of the speakers is to create a sense of ‘hyper-reality’.
Of course, not everyone has $750,000 lying around, and even if they do, most of them probably wouldn’t spend it on diamond-clad speakers. Wolf actually only expects Magico to sell ‘between 10 and 100’ of the luxurious speakers, though even 10 customers would bring in a hefty $7.5 million for the company. Which would be diamond-clear music to everyone’s ears.

Today the UN had to suspend its planned humanitarian intervention as part of the implementation of the ceasefire agreement on Zabadani, Madaya, Fua, and Kefraya due to the recent surge of military activities in the concerned areas.
The UN team and humanitarian partners, in fact, had made all necessary preparations and were in place to immediately implement the humanitarian provisions of the agreement.
The Syrian population in these affected areas is waiting for this agreement to be implemented so that needed humanitarian assistance can be provided to end their long-standing suffering.
The UN calls on all concerned parties to fulfill their responsibilities in the protection of civilians and reach the necessary understandings in order to implement this agreement as soon as possible. The UN reaffirms its commitment to the protection of civilians and remains ready to assist.
Statement Attributable to the Spokesperson of the Special Envoy for Syria
The United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura expressed his utmost condemnation of yesterday's air raids on a market place in the town of Duma. According to preliminary reports, this attack claimed scores of lives and injured significant numbers. The number of lives lost is still being determined.
“The Government's bombing of Duma yesterday is devastating. Attacks on civilian areas with aerial indiscriminate bombs, such as vacuum bombs, are prohibited under international law. Hitting crowded civilian markets killing almost one hundred of its own citizens by a government is unacceptable in any circumstances,” Mr. de Mistura said.
The attack of yesterday come on the heels of the indiscriminate shelling of Damascus last week by armed opposition groups and the cutting of water supplies, all measures which affect civilians and are also unacceptable.
This latest attack is yet another illustration of the brutality of the ongoing conflict.
"Humanitarian access must be allowed unconditionally and the killing must stop. This conflict will have no military solution, as has been proven over the recent years,” Mr. de Mistura said.
The Special Envoy calls on all Syrian parties to urgently cease all acts of violence and start dialogue towards a political solution to this crisis.
17 August 2015, Geneva
أعرب مبعوث الأمم المتحدة الخاص لسوريا ستيفان دي ميستورا عن إدانته البالغة للغارات الجوية أمس على السوق في بلدة دوما. وفقا للتقارير الأولية، أدّى هذا الهجوم الى سقوط عشرات القتلى وجرح أعداد كبيرة. لا يزال يجري تحديد عدد الخسائر في الأرواح.
"إنّ قصف الحكومة لدوما أمس أمرٌ مدمر. كما أنّ الهجمات على المناطق المدنية بقنابل عشوائيّة جوية، مثل القنابل الفراغية، أمرٌ محظور بموجب القانون الدولي. كما أنّ ضرب الأسواق المدنية المزدحمة، الذي أسفر عن مقتل ما يقرب من مائة من مواطنيها، من قبل الحكومة أمر غير مقبول في أي ظرف من الظروف،" قال السيّد دي مستورا.
هجمات أمس تأتي في أعقاب القصف العشوائي على دمشق الاسبوع الماضي من قبل جماعات المعارضة المسلحة وقطع إمدادات المياه، وجميعها تدابير تؤثر على المدنيين وهو أمر غير مقبول.
هذه الهجمات الاخيرة هي مثال آخر على وحشية الصراع الدائر.
"يجب السماح بوصول المساعدات الإنسانية دون قيد أو شرط ويجب أن يُتوقّف القتل. لن يكون لهذا الصراع حل عسكري، كما ثبت خلال السنوات الأخيرة،" قال السيّد دي مستورا.
يدعو المبعوث الخاص جميع الأطراف السورية إلى الكف على وجه السرعة عن جميع أعمال العنف وبدء الحوار من أجل التوصل إلى حل سياسي لهذه الأزمة.
17 آب 2015، جينيف
Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura visited Ankara today where he met with the Undersecretary of The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Ambassador Feridun Hadi Sinirlioğlu.
Mr. de Mistura conveyed his appreciation for the substantial effort by Turkey in welcoming and hosting a large number of Syrian refugees.
The Special Envoy also stressed the importance of the contribution of the regional countries to a political solution to the Syrian conflict. He also underscored an urgent need to find ways to end the bloodshed in Syria.
In this respect, Mr. de Mistura will continue his consultations in the region in the coming few days.
زار المبعوث الخاص ستيفان دي ميستورا أنقرة اليوم حيث التقى مع وكيل وزارة الشؤون الخارجية في تركيا، السفير فريدون هادي سينيرليوغلو.
نقل السيد دي مستورا عن تقديره للجهد كبير الذي تبذله تركيا في الترحيب واستضافة عدد كبير من اللاجئين السوريين.
وشدد المبعوث الخاص أيضا على أهمية مساهمة دول المنطقة لإيجاد حل سياسي للصراع السوري. كما أكّد أيضا على الحاجة الملحة لإيجاد سبل من أجل إنهاء اراقة الدماء في سوريا.
في هذا الصدد، سيواصل السيد دي مستورا مشاوراته في المنطقة خلال الايام القليلة المقبلة.
Within the framework of the Geneva Consultations, Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura met today with a delegation of the Syrian National Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces led by Coalition President Khaled Khoja. Mr. Khoja and other members of the delegation briefed on the latest efforts of the Coalition and the situation in and around Syria. They also discussed perspectives for a political solution to the Syrian conflict.
In the coming days, Special Envoy de Mistura intends to travel to New York to report to the Secretary-General on his findings from the initial phase of the Geneva Consultations. He will undertake further meetings in New York and regional and international capitals with a view to prepare for the planned Security Council meeting at the end of July.
في إطار مشاورات جنيف، التقى المبعوث الخاص ستيفان دي مستورا اليوم مع وفد من الائتلاف الوطني السوري لقوى الثورة والمعارضة التي يقودها رئيس الائتلاف خالد خوجة. أطلع السيد خوجة وأعضاء آخرين من الوفد السيّد دي مستورا على آخر الجهود التي يبذلها التحالف والوضع في سوريا وحولها. كما ناقشا آفاق التوصل إلى حل سياسي للصراع السوري.
في الأيام المقبلة، يعتزم المبعوث الخاص دي مستورا السفر إلى نيويورك ليقدم تقريرا إلى الأمين العام عن النتائج التي توصل إليها من خلال المرحلة الأولى من المشاورات في جنيف. وقال انه سوف يجري المزيد من الاجتماعات في نيويورك والعواصم الإقليمية والدولية بهدف التحضير لاجتماع مجلس الأمن المزمع عقده في نهاية يوليو.
Within the framework of the Geneva Consultations, Deputy Special Envoy for Syria Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy met today with representatives of the Syrian Feminist Lobby, Ms. Lama Kannout and Ms. Salma Jalkhi. They briefed Mr. Ramzy on the overall situation on the ground and the state of women’s rights. They also shared perspectives for a political solution and ways to ensure women’s participation in these process. Mr. Ramzy emphasized the important role that can and should be played by women in any conflict resolution efforts in Syria. He commended their tireless and positive efforts amidst the deteriorating situation on the ground.
FIVE WEEKS INTO THE GENEVA CONSULTATIONS
Special Envoy de Mistura is continuing meetings with a broad spectrum of Syrian, regional and international interlocutors within the framework of the Geneva Consultations. Since 5 May 2015, Mr. de Mistura and Deputy Special Envoy Ramzy have met so far with representatives of the Syrian Government, the Syrian opposition Coalition and 39 Syrian political and civil society groups. They have also held 26 meetings with representatives of concerned Member States from the Security Council and the region, as well as regional organizations. This process is expected to continue into July 2015.
Mr. de Mistura reiterates his sincere hope and belief that guns will fall silent one day. It is inevitable, as has been seen in other conflicts. The sooner they fall silent, the more lives will be saved. It is the responsibility of all Syrian, regional and international actors to try to bring that day forward and to make every effort to protect civilians under any circumstances and at all times. This is particularly relevant to the unacceptable use of barrel bombs. Mr. de Mistura stresses that there is a general consensus that there cannot be a military solution to the Syrian tragedy. The use of force will only create further suffering, destruction and grievances. An inclusive and Syrian-led and owned political solution is urgently needed. Only such a solution can address the aspirations of the Syrian people and end the conflict in a sustainable manner.
The Geneva Consultations remain a rolling process of separate and informal meetings aimed at operationalizing the Geneva Communique of 30 June 2012. In the coming weeks, the Special Envoy intends to brief the Secretary-General on his findings from this process. Special Envoy de Mistura hopes to be in a position to present to the Secretary-General views on ways to help the Syrian parties reach a political solution, as per the Geneva Communique, to end the unacceptable bloodletting in their country, which has led to countless deaths and injuries, and destruction of cities, towns and villages.
On 27 May, in the framework of the Geneva Consultations, the United Nations Special Envoy for Syria met with a delegation from the Islamic Republic of Iran, led by Mr. Mohsen Naziri Asl, Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva. Ambassador Asl shared the views of his government regarding the Syrian crisis. Separately, Mr. de Mistura also met with a delegation from the United Arab Emirates, led by Mr. Fares Al Mazrouei, Assistant Foreign Minister for Security and Military Affairs. Mr. Al Mazrouei shared his Government’s perspectives on the Syrian conflict. At the end of the consultations on 27 May, Mr. de Mistura stressed the importance of the contribution of the regional countries to a political solution to the Syrian conflict. He also underscored an urgent need to find ways to end the bloodshed in Syria. In this respect, the Special Envoy reiterated his support to humanitarian pauses in fighting as called for by the World Food Programme (WFP), so farmers in Syria can safely harvest and transport crops in the coming weeks within the country to reach all Syrians in need.
On 22 May, the Special Envoy met with the Islamic scholar Muhammad Al Habash and Hind Kabawat and Asma Kftarou from a civil society organization called ‘Tastaqil. He also received a delegation from the Kurdish National Council, with whom he shared views on ways to end the conflict, with due respect for Syrian diversity while maintaining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria. He also met with Najla Riachi Assaker, the Permanent Representative of Lebanon to the UN in Geneva, and discussed ways to support Syria in launching a political process, as well as the urgent need to alleviate the humanitarian suffering and its impact on the neighbouring countries. Mr. de Mistura also received with deep sadness news of the kidnapping of a priest, Father Jacques Mourad, on 21 May in Homs, describing the “grave act” as being unfortunately not the first of its kind and “one of the sad consequences” of the raging conflict.

Ohio News Briefs
FBI questioning into Ohio House speaker prompts call from AG
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican Ohio Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine says he urged House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger to resign if he has committed any wrongdoing but was told that’s not the case.
DeWine says he called Rosenberger on Friday about a report that Rosenberger had hired an attorney after hearing the FBI was asking questions about the legislative leader.
Rosenberger, a Clarksville Republican, has endorsed DeWine for governor.
Rosenberger told the Dayton Daily News on Friday that he hired Columbus attorney David Axelrod “as a precautionary measure.” He said the FBI hasn’t subpoenaed him or told him he’s under investigation.
The bureau declined to confirm or deny any investigation.
The Daily News reported Tuesday that FBI questioning surrounds an August trip to Europe sponsored by the Republican electoral group GOPAC.
Ohio elections chief’s video explains redistricting plan
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s elections chief has released a video explaining a bipartisan constitutional amendment that would restructure Ohio’s process for drawing congressional maps.
The video is among educational tools Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted makes available online.
It explains a redistricting proposal on May 8 ballots that is aimed at curbing gerrymandering, the partisan manipulation of political boundaries that’s seen as a cause of partisanship, gridlock and incivility in Washington.
Ohio lawmakers voted Feb. 6 to send the new process to the ballot. It would limit how counties are split into multiple districts and require more support from the minority party to put a 10-year map in place.
If lawmakers couldn’t agree, an existing bipartisan commission would take over. If that failed, the majority party could pass a shorter-term map.
Drug distributor to donate 80,000 doses of overdose antidote
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio-based drug distributor facing lawsuits linked to the opioid crisis is donating more than 80,000 doses of an overdose antidote for use by emergency responders in several states.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Cardinal Health has started distributing the naloxone it pledged last year as part of its “Opioid Action Program.” It comes as low funds and increased demand have left naloxone in short supply among first responders across the country.
The doses will go to first responders in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee.
The Dublin-based company says the initial investment will be $10 million, and the program could expand to other states.
Cardinal Health is among several drugmakers facing lawsuits in connection with the opioid epidemic. The companies have all denied wrongdoing.
Woman who faked illness to raise money must repay $640,000
CLARINGTON, Ohio (AP) — A woman has been ordered to repay $640,000 that prosecutors say she defrauded from people in Ohio and West Virginia to get money to send to a man she met online.
The Ohio attorney general’s office says 67-year-old Darlene Baldwin also was sentenced to prison Monday. She pleaded guilty to theft, attempted fraud and attempted money laundering.
Investigators say the Clarington, Ohio, woman scammed the money from people using various false stories, including that she was sick or about to lose her home. She promised to repay them but instead directed the money overseas to a man she had met online.
Monroe County Prosecutor James Peters says the sentence ensures that Baldwin won’t be able to keep taking advantage of “those who placed their trust in her.”
Woman, boyfriend indicted in death of 4-year-old girl
EUCLID, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio woman and her boyfriend have been indicted on aggravated murder and other charges in the death of the woman’s 4-year-old daughter.
A medical examiner says Aniya Day-Garrett died last month in Euclid from a stroke caused by blunt impacts to her head. She was also found to be malnourished.
A grand jury indicted her mother, Sierra Day, and the mother’s boyfriend, Deonte Lewis, on Monday.
An attorney for Day declined to comment. A message was left Monday for Lewis’ attorney.
The girl’s father says he suspected she was being abused and tried to get custody before her death. He has called for an investigation into the county’s child welfare agency.
An agency spokeswoman said investigators never found enough evidence to remove the girl from her home.

Sunshine on the Flint River Trail
November, 2020 by madcow13
The trail north of Carpenter Rd is very nice and well maintained. It appears that this part of the trail is very popular as it goes through Stepping Stone Falls (which is very pretty). The trail south of Carpenter Rd is not very well maintained: broken pavement, lots of debris, many fallen limbs. All in all, had a great time. Beautiful 72 degree weather in November.
Beautiful and well maintained
November, 2020 by mdjjrossi
We rode this yesterday. It is just gorgeous and very well maintained. In regard to some of the recent reviews regarding crowds - although we saw a good number of people riding or walking, it was totally fine since we were there on a Thursday. Weekends are much busier. There are a lot of curves on the trail, so that's something to look out for if it's crowded and some are trying to pass when they shouldn't. Side note - on the south end of Kent Lake, there's a short connecter bike path that goes under I-96 to Island Lake. The Island Lake trails aren't nearly as well maintained and are very bumpy.
Excellent Ride!!
October, 2020 by mhlak
A beautiful ride on a beautiful fall day!
This was a great trail! There were some halloween decorations and pumpkins ro find along the path. It was so quiet and pretty! I'd say the best trail I've been on so far! Can't wait to donit again!
October, 2020 by katietriplett
UPDATE, this trail is great!
October, 2020 by jwih5ppwqd
Just rode this trail on 10/22/20 and it is all paved, hardly any bumps now. The only thing to watch out for are some bumps near the wooden bridges and traffic over the few road crossings- traffic does not stop.
I've drove past this trail several times and never even noticed ot! So when I saw it by accident I had to check it out! Nice walking trail. No complaints. Glad I found it!
October, 2020 by philsanter
Ran it yesterday for the first time, parked at the ITC park and ran up to Providence Hospital. FYI, the whole thing was open - just need to take the dirt road at 9 Mile and Garfield to catch the rest of the trail. Nice trail.
Just wanted to give an update on the last review from July - the trail is open as of October 2020. You have to run on the dirt roads at 9 Mile and Garfield but no issues this morning.
Its right in the heart of downtown Flint and its peaceful, open and quiet. The best part is that it connects to the Flint River Trail.

Skip to Opdyke Rd and it’s a great ride.
September, 2020 by anngcools
We started at Sylvan Manor and rode the 4mile road detour. It was very rough sidewalks and busy road crossings. Best to start at Opdyke Rd and ride East from there. The road crossings, while many, had very courteous drivers you actually stopped for you! Beautiful scenery and lots of spots to get off the trail for a snack or lunch. We stopped at Rochester Mills Brewery and the food was pretty good. Cool vibes. Would go back. I rode a Salsa Cutthroat which was perfect for this ride. My riding buddy had Synapse with wider tires but still needed to walk some of the route through glass (on the rode detour).
Very Enjoyable Ride

Trail In great shape! Busy but enough room for all!! Scenery is beautiful!!
Only three rough patches
September, 2020 by lautreun
1) The overpass above the railway line south of Michigan Ave has three spots where the concrete is dangerously unlevel. Beware road bike riders. In the same stretch there are a few areas of collected sand; sand caution. 2) The asphalt path going through the underpass at the rail line near Hannah has dramatic buckling and sinking. It is always narrow and sandy (from unavoidable run off). This feels like mountain biking. Road bikers be cautious. 3) South of Huron the path becomes a jungle; the asphalt is laced with significant mounds of grass. The area is nearly impassable on a road bike without gravel or “knobby” tires. I could not complete the connection to the end, I was forced to turn back. Otherwise, the trail is pretty enjoyable.

Traipse comes to Winchester
As the city’s motto goes, “Greatness begins here.” We’re officially launching in Winchester, Virginia!
Traipse was part of the Virginia Main Street Conference held there last year and set up a couple tours of downtown for conference attendees, but now we’re launching several more curated Tours for you to enjoy. Check out the below text from The Winchester Star article leading up to the press conference on Wednesday, February 7:

Smartphone app hosts downtown Winchester scavenger hunts, walking tours
By BRIAN BREHM | The Winchester Star Jan 29, 2018 Updated Jan 30, 2018
WINCHESTER — For a cool new way to discover downtown Winchester, look no further than your phone.
The Traipse app, available for free download to Apple and Android smartphones, offers nine unique, guided excursions of Old Town in the form of scavenger hunts.
When Downtown Manager Jennifer Bell first saw a demonstration of the app, she knew she wanted it in Winchester.
“I thought it was a really exciting way to get people into downtown, not just for the historic sites, but for the businesses,” Bell said Monday.
But the Staunton-based developer’s $10,000 startup fee was too prohibitive for Old Town Winchester’s budget.
Fate intervened in the form of the 2017 Virginia Main Street Conference, where representatives from nearly 30 communities in the commonwealth met in Winchester in mid-July for three days of educational sessions, presentations from city design and planning experts, panel discussions, social activities and walking tours.
To promote Traipse and help conference attendees learn more about their host city, the app’s developers created several downtown Winchester scavenger hunts similar to those it previously made for Staunton, Suffolk and Abingdon.
Bell said Main Street Virginia then gave Winchester two years of free app licensing in exchange for hosting the conference.
“After two years, if we want to continue the relationship, then we’ll have to negotiate a cost with Traipse,” Bell said.
Online scavenger hunts have been around for several years and, while users find them entertaining, businesses sometimes complain that hunts don’t help their sales because people come into their shops, find the answer to a clue, then leave without making any purchases.
Bell said Traipse has taken steps to entice app users to support the stores and restaurants participating in scavenger hunts. Developers work closely with each participating business and include store hours and any additional information requested.
“One business might be in a historic building and want to emphasize that; another business might want to emphasize a clever quote they have on the wall so people have to go into the business and really look around [to find it],” Bell said. “You can ... tailor the kind of involvement you want to have.”
Since all the information required for the scavenger hunts is in the app, and since no prizes are awarded, Bell said participating business owners get the benefit of additional foot traffic without having to devote any time to helping people play the game.
“It’s also set up in such a way that businesses can give a discount or promotion [to players], if they want,” she said. “I can’t make the sales for anybody, but if I can help get people in the door, then I feel I’m really doing my job to help the businesses.”
Bell said each available scavenger hunt lists the number of stops and estimated walking time, so people will know in advance how long each activity will take.
The hunts can be completed faster than advertised, but users won’t get the benefit of learning about the significance of each of the stops.
Winchester scavenger hunts available in the Traipse app include:
Famous Names and Faces of Winchester Winchester Divided: The Civil War Winchester: Family Fun Quirks and Curiosities in Old Town George Washington’s Winchester: The Colonial Era Winchester: An Afternoon in Old Town Old Town Winchester Pub Crawl Old Town North Old Town South
While the Traipse app’s local scavenger hunts are already available for free download and use from Google Play and Apple’s app store, the first big public introduction will be March 10 during the St. Paddy’s Celtic Fest in Old Town Winchester.
“We’re going to have Traipse staff here, ... and they’re going to be conducting a hunt with a prize,” Bell said.
Until then, Bell said she and Traipse developers will continue to gather feedback from users and participating businesses to make sure the app is working as effectively as possible.
Traipse along the Howard Theatre's Walk of Fame!
Historic Harrisonburg!
New city and new tour!

Make America Great Again – News about Trump the Most Awesome President Ever!
Strong American Borders
House prepares to vote on calling for Trump removal via 25th amendment
ByMichelle
The House of Representatives on Tuesday night will move forward with an effort to hold President Trump accountable for the role he played in inciting a deadly riot on Capitol Hill last week.
In the late-evening, members of the chamber are expected to discuss asking Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment, which would remove Trump from office eight days ahead of President-Elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day.
A vote is scheduled to start between 10:15 p.m. ET and 10:45 p.m. ET.
The amendment was added to the Constitution — passed by Congress in 1965 and ratified by the states in 1967 — as a way to remove from power a president who could no longer adequately carry out the duties of the office.
The language of the amendment is that the vice president and either a majority of the Cabinet or a review body appointed by Congress must declare in writing that the president is unfit for office, then the vice president assumes the role of acting president immediately.
HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP WON’T LOBBY MEMBERS TO VOTE AGAINST IMPEACHMENT
The measure, proposed by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., calls on Pence to activate the amendment under the premise that Trump undermined the Constitution by inciting a siege on Capitol Hill in an attempt to prevent a peaceful transition of power.
“Today we’re looking at Section 4, which we are asking the Vice President to invoke by activating and mobilizing the Cabinet to declare what is patently obvious to a horrified and anxious nation: the President is not even minimally discharging the basic duties of his office,” Raskin said on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. “I don’t think there is a reasonable person in the country with his or her eyes open who doesn’t understand that the President was hell-bent on trying to challenge, undermine, and overturn the result of the election in all of the events leading up to January 6th, and on January 6th.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Pence has been asked to respond within 24 hours of passage.
Pence has not publicly said whether he would activate the measure. He and Trump spoke on Monday.
Rioters who stormed the Capitol last Wednesday were enraged at Pence, whom Trump had asked to block the certification of the presidential election results over claims that they were rigged and fraudulent.
Violent threats against the vice president spread on the internet.

Meanwhile, the House will also move forward with an impeachment vote on Wednesday.
As reported by Fox News, House Republicans will not lobby members of the GOP to vote against impeachment.
Some members of the party, however, have contended that moving forward with the process with a little more than one week left in Trump’s tenure will only serve to further divide the nation, which is a viewpoint shared by the Trump administration.

Michael B. Jordan: I Wear “More Clothes” Since My Mom Moved In — Watch Us Weekly’s Loose Talk!
By Nicholas Hautman
He’s got jokes! Jesse Tyler Ferguson revealed on Live! With Kelly and Michael that he’s nervous about his upcoming one-man Broadway show, Fully Committed.
“Who do I think I am, Neil Patrick Harris?” the Modern Family star, 40, joked.

Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan also poked fun at himself when he told Ellen DeGeneres how life has changed since his mom moved in with him.
“It just changed the routine up a little bit,” the Creed hunk, 28, explained. “I’m wearing more clothes around the house.”

Jordan isn’t the only celeb who apparently likes to walk around naked. Earlier this year, Chrissy Teigen Instagrammed a picture of John Legend’s bare butt that went viral. The pregnant Sports Illustrated model recently told James Corden that her hubby has many amazing qualities — but cooking isn’t one of them.
“I let him be good at what he’s good at, which is singing and watching football,” she said, laughing.

Shatta wale holds church service for FANS READ...
byBasit Issaka - March 25, 2020 0
Dancehall King Shatta Wale has found a remedy for his religious followers who cannot gather today for their usual Sunday church services following the ban on gatherings.
Shatta, in a bid to keep the spirit of God alive in his fans has turned his Twitter page into a church where he held a one-hour service.
‘Pastor Shatta’, who began by praising God, managed to get enough men to listen to his power-filled sermon, making him number one trend on the app.
The sermon was drawn from the book of Peter which talks about hope, to uplift his fans, most importantly in the trying times the world is in now.
He said the verse was a sword and weapon to fight any situation that makes one sad and depressed.
After the ‘mighty’ preaching, ‘Pastor Shatta’ led his fans through the sinner’s confession prayer after which they sang praises to end the church service.
It appears the dancehall musician has been touched by the Holy Spirit as he first presented himself as a prophet, declaring doom unto sinners who fail to honour God.
A few days ago, Shatta revealed he had a revelation from God, explaining how HIS wrath has brought forth a new plague, the Coronavirus.

Gucci Mane Posts Meme About Killing Jeezy's Friend Ahead of Their 'Verzuz'
A post shared by Gucci Mane (@laflare1017)
Gucci Mane has sent a few taunts in Jeezy's direction ahead of their Verzuz. After referring to his rap rival as "SnoCone," Guwop fanned the flames further by posting a meme reminding his followers that he killed one of Jeezy's associates.
"Gucci Mane: go dig up ya partna n**** I bet he can't he say s***," the meme read, quoting lyrics to Gucci's 2013 Jeezy diss song, "Truth."
The meme indicated that Jeezy wouldn't want to address the situation by showing a man attempting to dive out of a courtroom.
In 2005, Gucci Mane shot and killed Jeezy associate Pookie Loc in self-defense after he was jumped. Pookie Loc's body was later found buried by a middle school. A month prior to the shooting, Jeezy and Gucci's "Icy" was released.
Gucci claimed self-defense after being charged with murder and the case was dropped in 2006 due to insufficient evidence. He spoke about the incident with Charlamagne during an interview in 2019 and expressed no remorse.
"[Pookie Loc] needed to be in the ground," Gucci Mane said claimed. "I put his a** where he supposed to be. He tried me. If somebody comes and try to kill you, yeah you know it's self-defense…you gotta do what you gotta do."
Gucci Mane and Jeezy's Verzuz battle will broadcast simultaneously on Instagram and Apple Music on November 19 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m PT.

Making the New Normal a Better Normal … with Tom Caulfield, of Globalfoundries
Tom Caulfield GLOBALFOUNDRIES
6875 Oct 6, 2020
Much has happened in the world since Dan Hutcheson sat down with Tom Caulfield, CEO of GLOBALFOUNDRIES to have a conversation about the direction of the semiconductor industry. Since then, the world has been upended by a number of geopolitical events. The most disruptive has been COVID-19, which has brought new challenges to chip companies. There was the obvious challenge to management. But more surprising was the surge in demand that came from digitalization breaking out of its status as a boardroom topic to save the economy from Great Depression levels of economic collapse. While digitalization kept many businesses afloat and children in school as people worked at home, this new normal was woefully inadequate. Society and businesses in the post-COVID-19 world are pivoting from evolutionary to revolutionary adoption of digital technology. Tom sees a grand challenge for the semiconductor industry to transform the new normal into a “better normal.” GF sees three emergent megatrends: Frictionless Networking, Pervasive deployment of Virtualization, and Hierarchical AI with AI everywhere. As Tom puts it, “Before COVID-19, there was a feeling that technology was moving faster than humankind could adjust. But now, the world needs our industry to accelerate the digital transformation. The semiconductor industry has always had the responsibility and obligation to create solutions that benefit humankind. This is not just an opportunity for our industry, it is our calling.”
That’s not all. This structural restructuring of the economy via digitalization has created an enormous hurdle for our industry to deal with the acceleration in the consumption of power. To address this, GF is redefining the leading-edge of innovation by building a number of innovative solutions that can “flatten the curve” and significantly lower the power consumption. Plus, new geopolitical forces such as trade wars and the move towards a decoupling have exposed supply chain strengths and vulnerabilities … especially with single points of failure at concentrated manufacturing centers on the ring of fire’s Asian side. Thus, concerns about a need for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing have become relevant at a geopolitical level for the first time in decades.
We also discuss what’s happened at GLOBALFOUNDRIES over the last two years. Back then GF had just reorganized its go-to-market strategy around targeted market segments. Tom provides some examples of how GF has become vital to semiconductor foundry users. Did you know GF makes the chips for a smartphone’s connection to the base station through the front-end module? The chips for tuners, low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated switches? Contactless, secure transactions using Near Field Communications with embedded memory? The audio, touch screen, battery life, and camera? All these chips provide the critical functions to make smartphones smart.
About weVISION: weVISION is a series of video interviews of visionaries by G Dan Hutcheson, his career spans more than thirty years, in which he became a well-known as a visionary for helping companies make businesses out of technology. This includes hundreds of successful programs involving product development, positioning, and launch in Semiconductor, Technology, Medicine, Energy, Business, High Tech, Environment, Electronics, healthcare and Business divisions.

most valuable stars July 24, 2012
The Ten Actors Likely to Make Next Year’s Most Valuable Stars List
Many of the 100 actors on Vulture’s 100 Most Valuable Stars list would have been there the year before and will be there again next year, but some of the more precariously situated stars ought to watch out, because there are ten insurgents coming who’d love nothing more than to take their spots. Some of these upwardly mobile actors are veterans mounting a comeback, while others are new faces who’ve risen in fame thanks to a plum franchise or an Oscar-courting role. But no matter where they’re coming from, expect a great deal of them to end up in the same place next year: on the 2013 edition of the Most Valuable Stars list.
Older brother Chris made the list this year, but expect to see both Hemsworths on it in 2013. Liam got a big bump from The Hunger Games that belies the size of his supporting role; more important, he’s a tall, handsome, masculine guy in his twenties who can act — a surprisingly rare thing in Hollywood today — and he’s picking up plenty of the roles for that type. The 22-year-old Aussie is also guaranteed plenty of press coverage from his real-life role as Miley Cyrus’s fiancé; the two met when Hemsworth won his first lead opposite her in The Last Song. He’s got the female demographic sewn up, then, but he’ll continue to build macho cred in The Expendables 2, and then he’s got leading man parts in Love and Honor, Empire State, the currently shooting Paranoia (opposite Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford), and the time-travel romance Timeless.

Mara’s still a promising enigma, rightfully nominated for an Oscar for her blazing performance as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, with a terrific trilogy of films from modern auteurs coming after: She’s been working with Terrence Malick, Spike Jonze, and Steven Soderbergh. Largely unknown before her breakout role, save for a spiky two-scene performance in The Social Network and a swiftly brushed-under-the-rug lead in the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, Mara aced a wide-net casting search for Dragon Tattoo, topping more famous names like Scarlett Johansson and Carey Mulligan. But who is she when she’s not Lisbeth, and will audiences recognize and respond to her out of makeup? On the Dragon Tattoo promotional tour, Mara worked a look that could be described as “polished goth” and definitely presented herself as a soul sister to Lisbeth; compare that to Jennifer Lawrence, who used every vivacious talk show appearance to draw a contrast between herself and grim Katniss Everdeen. By next year, though, we’ll know what other arrows Mara has in her quiver. Photo: Larry Busacca/2012 Getty Images
After some time off from stardom, Farrell is back to make a play for the A-list in a major way. Yes, Fright Night didn’t quite work, but this year’s Total Recall remake is tracking big enough that the new Bourne got out of its way, and Farrell’s got promising projects lined up after that: He’s in the Mary Poppins project opposite Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, and he’ll also lead Martin McDonagh’s next film, Seven Psychopaths, and Dead Man Down with Noomi Rapace. Famously, Farrell was first thrust onto the A-list in the nineties before he’d had much time to prove himself — an act that robbed the audience of discovering him organically —but the time he’s spent in the supporting-actor salt mines since has deepened him as a performer. Hopefully his leading roles can retain some of the new magnetism he’s brought to scene-stealing turns in The Way Back and Horrible Bosses. Photo: Angela Weiss/2012 Getty Images
After an Oscar nomination for An Education and plenty of acclaimed roles in smaller movies like Shame and Drive, Mulligan’s on the radar of every casting director in Hollywood, though her name still isn’t quite known by general audiences. Expect Baz Luhrmann’s huge The Great Gatsby, in which she plays the plum role of Daisy Buchanan, to change that. Mulligan’s got range, too: Though she’s played dewy and naive plenty of times, her full-frontal Shame role, where her character was a suicidal, sexually rapacious wreck, hints at a willingness to go bold and risky. In that film, she sang a famously sustained version of “New York, New York,” and she’ll break out those pipes again in the Coen brothers’ next film, a folk singer dramedy also starring Justin Timberlake and Oscar Isaac. Photo: Cindy Ord/2012 Getty Images
Phoenix was out of the game for a long time while working on his celebrity-bursting experiment, I’m Not There, and the whole project could have done irrevocable harm to his career: For a character actor who’s mostly kept out of the tabloids since his brother River’s death, Phoenix sure seemed intent on stereotyping himself as a looney-tunes drug addict, and his secretly staged out-of-it Letterman performance eclipsed any acting role he’d ever been known for. And yet, directors seemed to appreciate the full-tilt commitment, and Phoenix has had plenty of offers for his movie comeback: Clint Eastwood wanted him for J. Edgar, while he was at one point marked for a supporting role in, uh, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. Let’s just say that he wisely held off until Paul Thomas Anderson came calling with The Master, and based on the trailer and footage that’s screened so far, it looks like an immediately compelling, transformative performance. Spike Jonze has already given Phoenix the lead in his next movie, and we’d expect more to follow after this. Photo: Michael Kovac
It’s been a slow and steady rise to critical adoration for Michelle Williams, who got her star started on TV’s Dawson’s Creek. Brokeback Mountain proved the first major turning point for Williams, as well as an enduring link to her late partner Heath Ledger. Oscar-nominated for that role, Williams has continued to ply her trade in indies — she took home two more Academy Award nominations for Blue Valentine and My Week With Marilyn, and she can currently be seen on demand in Take This Waltz — but has yet to make a major play for studio fare, aside from a supporting role as Leonardo DiCaprio’s doomed wife in Shutter Island. Now is the time in her career when Williams could use the extra eyeballs, since Marilyn made around $15 million but most of her other indie projects struggle to make even $5 million. Next year’s role as Glinda in Oz the Great and Powerful could change all that, as Williams has never taken part in a gigantic tentpole release before, but then again, Mila Kunis is that film’s putative female lead. After Oz, Williams has no project yet scheduled, and the next one she signs on to could signal her shift onto the Most Valuable Stars list. Photo: Jason Kempin/2012 Getty Images
Will the three actors who topline The Hunger Games soon become our new Stewart-Pattinson-Lautner nexus of young franchise fame? If so, Hutcherson stands to benefit from it a whole lot: He’s famous and enormously appealing, but he’s shorter-statured than most leading men, and he hasn’t quite lined up the post-Games, pre–Catching Fire projects that Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth have. That said, the kid co=starred in two giant hits this year (Journey 2 made $325 million worldwide) and he’s got three more Hunger installments coming up, so his star is bound to rise. Photo: JOE KLAMAR/2012 AFP
Move over, Winslet and Blanchett: We’ve got another chameleonic actress with serious star potential, and this time, she’s homegrown! Jessica Chastain broke through in a major way last year with the one-two punch of art-house hit The Tree of Life and genuine mainstream hit The Help, which earned her an Oscar nomination (an all-the-more impressive feat since she was up against her own co-star Octavia Spencer, who won). And if those two credits weren’t enough, well, you might have caught Chastain delivering solid supporting performances in a number of other 2011 films, including Take Shelter, The Debt, and Coriolanus. Her slate is just as packed this year, as the flame-haired actress will be seen in Kathryn Bigelow’s Hurt Locker follow-up, Zero Dark Thirty, and she endures that ascendant actress rite of passage — the buzzy full-frontal scene — for John Hillcoat’s upcoming Shia LaBeouf moonshine drama Lawless, which has her pitching woo at Tom Hardy. The key for Chastain, though, will be finding another movie big enough to take her to the next level; Iron Man 3 came calling for her earlier in the year, but she had to turn down the role owing to scheduling conflicts.

Javier Bardem is a well-known, Oscar-winning, critically respected international star. He also very rarely stars in big studio movies, which is why he just missed out on making the list. That said, Bardem has recently shown that he has a newfound willingness to star in franchise material: He plays the villain in the next James Bond movie, Skyfall, and he’s attached to topline the Dark Tower franchise, provided Ron Howard can actually get it green-lit somewhere. Even if he can’t, expect someone else to take advantage of Bardem’s sudden interest in studio roles; in the meantime, he’s part of the big-name cast of Ridley Scott’s next film, The Counselor. Photo: Carlos Alvarez/2012 Getty Images
Beloved by indie audiences yet usually stuck in co-starring or love interest roles when it comes to studio films like 13 Going on 30 or Just Like Heaven, Mark Ruffalo blossomed in the huge ensemble that was The Avengers, making his mark even before he transformed into a huge, green, motion-captured Hulk. And crucially, the actor — who has been trending upward since his Oscar-nominated The Kids Are All Right performance in 2010 — has a full slate of intriguing projects to come: He plays a sex addict opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Thanks for Sharing, tangles with Steve Carell in Bennet Miller’s Foxcatcher, woos Keira Knightley in Can a Song Save Your Life, and pursues Jesse Eisenberg in Now You See Me. Still, the big gun Ruffalo’s waiting to fire is playing the lead in Ryan Murphy’s anticipated big-screen transfer The Normal Heart … provided Murphy can carve out the space to shoot it.

Ferndale Infants' School closure plan sent to consultation as parents outline 'grave concerns' to Leanne Wood
Campaign group Save Ferndale Infants' was out in force at RCT council on Thursday, where cabinet members supported formal talks on the closure

Campaigners against the closure of an infants’ school have enlisted the help of Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood in their fight.
Rhondda Cynon Taf council’s cabinet members have discussed the potential closure of Ferndale Infants’ School on August 31, 2016, with its pupils transferring to Darran Park Primary School for the 2016-17 academic year.
A campaign group called Save Ferndale Infants’ has been formed by concerned parents, and their Facebook page has been ‘liked’ more than 800 times since it was created on Monday.
The group has contacted the leader of Plaid Cymru Leanne wood, who lives in Penygraig in the Rhondda, with their “grave concerns” which include the ability of Darran Park Primary to cope with the additional pupils numbers.
More 'financially-viable' for the council
Council officers said the move is more financially-viable for the council and both schools have surplus places, while Ferndale Infants’ has displayed an “inconsistent” performance compared to other similar schools.

The 1980s North Road building would be considered for “alternative educational use” if the school closed.
Coun Eudine Hanagan, cabinet member with responsibility for education, said: “I am fully supportive of this.
'Smooth transition for pupils'
“Should this go ahead it will be a smooth transition for pupils, with £400,000 spent to improve their education.”
Councillor Phil Howe, who represents Ferndale, said“If this school closes jobs will be at risk and a nursery department which has been proved to be very successful will be lost. I am appealing to you to not accept the recommendation to consult on the closure of Ferndale Nursery, but to go back to the drawing board.

“Look at a model of provision that will enhance the availability of nursery education and wraparound childcare at Ferndale Nursery, in a village where 59% of lone parents work.”
After the meeting Anna Jones, secretary of the Save Ferndale Infants’ group, said: “It is the council’s job to listen to us – we don’t want this. But we get the feeling that now it has gone to consultation it is a formality. We know Darran Park cannot accommodate the extra number of pupils.”
'Family school' at centre of community
Chairwoman of the group Andrea Jones added: “We know it as the North Road school, and it is the centre of the community – a family school. If there are problems we know we can go to the teachers to sort them out.”
Ms Wood, AM for South Wales Central, added: “Parents have contacted my office with grave concerns about the closure of Ferndale infants’ school.
“They fear that the Darran Park primary school site will not be big enough to cope with the extra intake of children from September of next year.
“In order to accommodate the additional pupils, parents are worried that class sizes will become too big and that play areas will be lost to new buildings.
“There are many questions that have been unanswered by this Labour-led local authority – they need to provide a lot more information to parents than they have currently done.”

January transfer latest and Swans news sent straight to your inbox
Argentina defender Federico Fernandez arrives at Swansea City with a big reputation.
The 25-year-old helped his country into the 2014 World Cup final and has played in Italy’s Serie A and La Liga in Spain.
Now he heads for the Premier League, ready to help Garry Monk’s men in their quest for top-flight success.
But how will he cope with demands of the British game, and how have his countryman adapted in the past?
We look at the top Argentine XI to have played in the Premier League – and some of those that have been less than impressive.
Pictures: 11 Argentina stars who proved a huge success in Premier League
The best XI
1. Julian Speroni (Crystal Palace, 2004-present)
One of the most reliable goalkeepers in the Premier League, Speroni has quietly gone about his business since moving from Dundee in 2004. Has now started to earn plaudits he deserves.
2. Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City, 2008-present)
One of the stars of Argentina’s run to the 2014 World Cup final, Zabaleta has a full set of honours in the English game, with Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup winners’ medals.
3. Julio Arca (Sunderland/Middlesbrough, 2000-2013)
A player loved by supporters of both clubs as he straddled the Wear and Tees. Not the most skilful, but with a heart as big as a lion, Arca always played every game as if it was his last.
4. Javier Mascherano (West Ham/Liverpool, 2006-11)
Left Anfield under a cloud after forcing through a transfer to Barcelona, but was much at home in the Premier League, his battling qualities appreciated at West Ham and Liverpool.
5. Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle, 2008-present)
Coloccini has earned respect as one of the finest Magpies to pull on the black & white shirt. He is hugely popular on the Tyne and has clocked up almost 200 league matches.
6. Horacio Carbonari (Derby, 1998-2002)
Considered the first Argentine to score in the Premier League, the popular defender became a folk hero in the east Midlands after scoring twice in derby matches with Nottingham Forest.
7. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City, 2011-present)
Diego Maradona’s former son-in-law is more an out-and-out striker than a No.10. It was no better illustrated than when he scored the late winner to give Man City the league title in 2012.
8. Maxi Rodriguez (Liverpool, 2009-12)
The classy midfielder became a huge favourite at Anfield, especially after two quickfire hat-tricks. Was part of the League Cup-winning squad against Cardiff City in 2012 before heading home.
9. Hernan Crespo (Chelsea, 2003-06)
In two spells at Chelsea, punctuated by time on loan at Milan, Crespo maintained his fine scoring record, firing 20 goals in 49 league games. Also won the only league title of his career at Stamford Bridge.
10. Carlos Tevez (West Ham/Man Utd/Man City, 2006-13)
Despite his acrimonious exit from Man City after a row in Munich, Tevez was a real star performer. He won Premier League titles at both Manchester clubs and helped keep West Ham up in 2007.
11. Andres D’Alessandro (Portsmouth, 2013)
May be a shock inclusion after just 13 Pompey games in a loan spell, but he helped save Portsmouth from relegation. One superb strike against Charlton was an example of his talent.
Juan Sebastian Veron in action for Chelsea, tackling Peter Whittingham, then of Aston Villa, now of Cardiff City
The sorry six
1. Juan Sebastian Veron (Man Utd/Chelsea, 2001-04)
Still hard to believe that United paid £28m for him and then offloaded him to Chelsea for £15m. Such a talent elsewhere in the world, but patently not suited to Premier League demands.
2. Franco Di Santo (Chelsea/Blackburn/Wigan, 2008-13)
After fruitless spells at Chelsea and Blackburn, found his feet at Wigan, but his goal ratio still ultimately disappointed for a striker of his ability. Now at Werder Bremen in Germany.
3. Carlos Marinelli (Middlesbrough, 1999-2004)
The poor lad was given the ‘new Maradona’ tag, but failed to live up to expectations. Despite glimpses of his ability, scored just three league goals in 43 games and now plays in Peru.
4. Facundo Sava (Fulham, 2002-04)
The striker was probably best known for his goal celebration, whipping out a mask from his sock. But it didn’t happen enough, just six times in 27 appearances for the Cottagers.
5. Esteban Fuentes (Derby, 1999-2000)
A classic journeyman footballer, Fuentes pitched up in Derby after a £2m move. But then immigration officials found he had a forged passport and he left after eight league games for Lens.
6. Erik Lamela (Tottenham, 2013-present)
It may be a bit premature to write off the 22-year-old after one poor season beset by injuries. But the midfielder did cost £30m from Roma and he has a lot of catching up to do.

One surprising way money can buy happiness, according to scientists
(iStock)
By Jenna Gallegos
July 24, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
If you were given $40 on the condition that you had to spend it on something that would make you really happy, what would you do with the money? Some people might go shopping, others would treat themselves to dinner or a movie, a few might even donate to cause. But what about using that $40 to "buy" yourself more free time?
According to a study published Monday in the journal PNAS, people who buy time by paying someone to complete household tasks are more satisfied with life. And it’s not just wealthy people. Across a range of incomes, careers and countries, timesaving purchases were correlated with less time-related stress and more positive feelings.
Yet the researchers’ surveys showed that very few individuals think to spend money in this way.
Ashley Whillans, a social psychologist and the study’s lead author, says she is “totally obsessed” with people’s decisions of whether to place more value in time or money. She says we weigh the two all the time: “Do I take the toll bridge, which will save me time but cost me money? Where should I live? If I live far from work I’ll save money, but it will take me more time to commute.”
Whillans and her colleagues at Harvard University collaborated with researchers at the University of British Columbia and two institutes in the Netherlands to conduct seven surveys of more than 6,000 respondents in four countries. The surveys asked people whether they regularly pay someone else to complete unpleasant daily tasks and rated their satisfaction with life.
Across all surveys, life satisfaction was typically higher for people who regularly spend money to save time. This was true regardless of household income, hours worked per week, marital status and number of children living at home (though one limitation of the study was that very few people on the extreme low end of the income spectrum were surveyed).
Even after controlling for total disposable income by comparing the amount participants spend on necessary purchases such as groceries, unnecessary purchases and life experiences, working adults in the United States reported higher life satisfaction if they regularly paid to outsource household tasks such as cooking, shopping and general maintenance.
Ryan Howell, a psychologist who was not involved with the study, called this consistency across demographics “robust” and “impressive.” Howell’s research at San Francisco State University also focuses on spending and happiness, and he also has found that the amount of money people have is not as important as how they spend it.
To directly test whether timesaving purchases can boost happiness, the scientists in the latest research recruited 60 working adults in Vancouver and gave them $40 on each of two consecutive weekends. They were told to spend the money on a material purchase one weekend and a timesaving service another weekend (in varying order).
Compared with the days when they bought stuff, most participants reported that their timesaving purchases were accompanied by an increased positive effect, a decreased negative effect and less time stress. And it didn’t matter how exceptional, useful or posh their material purchase was.
Despite this, when researchers asked another group of 98 working adults in Vancouver how they would spend $40, only 2 percent mentioned buying themselves more time. And in the earlier surveys in the Netherlands, even among millionaires, less than half reported regularly spending money to outsource disliked tasks.
Sanford DeVoe, who was not involved with the study, called this a “really stunning finding.” DeVoe, a professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, studies the psychological effects of placing a monetary value on time. He was struck by the fact that even people who can clearly afford to don’t outsource excess work. This adds to a growing body of evidence showing that “people don’t spend their money to yield the greatest happiness,” he said.
Most adults feel they are short on time, and many cite the same as a reason for anxiety, insomnia and even obesity. So why are we so reluctant to consider investing in time capital?
“People are notoriously bad at making decisions that will make them happier,” Whillans said. She suspects the abstract nature of time may be to blame. “We always think we’re going to have more time tomorrow than we do right now,” she said, so we’re hesitant to trade money, which is concrete and measurable, for time, which is much more uncertain.
DeVoe agrees. When you pay someone to clean your house or mow your lawn, “you know exactly how much money you’re losing,” he said. “The happiness you’ll gain is harder to put a value on.”
Another potential reason, according to Whillans: “Busyness is perceived as a status symbol.” It’s not uncommon for people to forgo their paid vacation even while burnout is a huge problem, she said. If companies offered workers incentives that saved time, such as toll passes or vouchers for household services, she predicts the economy might improve because burnout would decrease.
On the other hand, buying time might not actually reduce busyness. That spare time could easily be filled by longer work hours or checking emails. Washing machines and microwaves were both invented to save time, and yet they haven’t made people any less busy. And people who spend too much money to outsource tasks could find themselves more stressed if they start feeling incapable of managing their own lives, the researchers noted.
If you look at the many scientific studies on how to buy happiness, you find evidence supporting several other ways. Buying material goods, especially those that match our personality, can satisfy our need for establishing or expressing our identity. Spending money on others “pro-socially” — through charitable giving or to improve relationships with people we care about — fulfills our desire for human connections. And investing in experiences has been repeatedly shown to increase happiness.
Especially beneficial are experiences that help us develop new skills or apply our talents in novel ways and make us feel more confident, Howell said.
There’s no magic answer for how to stretch our dollars to achieve maximum happiness, but for many people, spending money to save time and improve well-being isn’t even on their radar. DeVoe hopes this research will give people a more concrete understanding of the abstract value of investing in free time.
And giving ourselves a bit more time could make us a whole lot happier.

Wolves Under 18s held at home by Sunderland
Wolves U18s were held to a goalless draw by Sunderland U18s in their second PLU18-North game of the season.
Wolves U18s 0
Sunderland U18s 0
Report: Elliot Jackson
Sunderland had the best of the chances in the first half as Wolves ‘keeper Jamie Pardington twice denied the Black Cats from taking the lead.
Wolves, searching for their first win of the new season, also went close to breaking the deadlock as Jaden Forrester saw his effort cleared off the line.
In the second 45, Ryan Leonard came close to putting Sunderland in front but he missed blazed over from close range as the score remained level.
Wolves switched to a back four as they went in search of a winner. Taylor Townsend was sent through on goal but he couldn’t keep his left-footed strike on target.
With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Wolves had their best chance of the game in the 90th minute. It was again Forrester who was again denied, this time by the crossbar after his volley cannoned off the woodwork following neat play down the right.
It turned out to be the final action of the game, with Wolves claiming a hard-fought point.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH:
Although Wolves might have won the game late on, they were indebted to their goalkeeper Jamie Pardington for keeping them in the game. His save just before half-time kept Wolves level, which was crucial just before the break.
Wolves manager Darren Ryan was pleased with his side’s performance and felt a draw was a fair result.
He said: “I thought we started the game well but we let them into the game and they had a couple of chances. We were probably lucky to come in at 0-0 but in the second half, we were much better.
“It’s just about getting that balance and having control with and without the ball. We just need to show a better understanding and make better decisions during the game.
“Overall I thought a draw was a fair result.”
Wolves take on Manchester City at home next Friday, looking for their first win of the campaign. They then take a trip up North as they face Newcastle United.
NEXT FIVE:
24/8 – Manchester City (A)
1/9 – Newcastle United (A)
15/9 – West Bromwich Albion (H)
22/9 – Stoke City (A)
6/10 – Middlesbrough (H)
WOLVES (3-5-2): Pardington; O’Sullivan, Crabtree, Richards; Thompson, Parker, Campbell (Joseph, 90), Cundle, Townsend; Forrester, Abbey.
Sunderland (4-4-2): Patterson; Harrold, Tomlinson, Oro, Juith; Leonard, Evans, Neil, Devine; Best (Juxthen, 76), Kiernan.

The House Has Impeached Trump Again. Here's How House Members Voted
By Benjamin Swasey & Audrey Carlsen • 28 minutes ago
President Trump has become the only president in United States history to be impeached twice.

1 In 7 Americans Have Experienced Dangerous Air Quality Due To Wildfires This Year
By Audrey Carlsen & Sean McMinn • Sep 23, 2020
Wildfires near cities have become commonplace in the Western United States, but this year the reach and intensity of the dangerous air pollution they produce has been the worst on record.
Many Americans in populous, urban areas endured smoke for longer than previous years. Some places experienced very unhealthy or hazardous air from wildfires for the first time ever recorded.
In Large Texas Cities, Access To Coronavirus Testing May Depend On Where You Live
By Sean McMinn & Audrey Carlsen • May 27, 2020
As COVID-19 continues to spread across the country, state and local health officials rush to try to detect and contain outbreaks before they get out of control. A key to that is testing, and despite a slow start, testing has increased around the country.
But it's still not always easy to get a test. While many things can affect access to testing, location is an important starting point.

Chronological Viewing List
Most Cited Movies
The List Mentality
Movie best lists are ubiquitous. So many people and groups feel some need to categorize movies. It feels like today that people spend more time typing down or listing the things they enjoy than they could possibly spend enjoying said things. Anyone on Facebook remembers this asinine trend from a few months back. Movie lists are a different animal every single time and there are many concerns that go with them. What are the pros and cons of movie lists? What purpose do they serve and what makes a list valid?
I believe the thing that movie lists are best for is helping new people start in film appreciation. It gives someone a large set of important films to go through rather than just one. When a pontifical commission at the Vatican came up with a list of top movies back in 1995, it was meant for just that purpose, to help newcomers start on film appreciation. It was not made for people to debate the greatest movie of all time. In fact, they specifically stated that it was not a best list and that perhaps superior films were omitted. It was merely titled "Some Important Films."
What makes a good and valid best list? It's tough to say definitively because most things to do with movies or the arts are subjective and highly charged. I would argue that every best list should have a few characteristics. It should have movies from many countries and time periods. It should have both black and white and color movies. Silent movies should probably be a must. If a list doesn't have this dynamism, I assume the group or person are close-minded, not true movie connoisseurs and not in a valid position to make such a list. I would never attack a list based on one submission or omission because, as I said, it is largely subjective. You can only judge based on trends. Granted, some lists only purport to cover a certain category.
Who can make a valid best list? Best lists written by friends and respectable reviewers can be fun to read and interesting-- although I like to think I'm not geeky enough to care much about such things-- because there is a reference point which gives the movies on the page some meaning. A real movie critic also has some authority in his words. It is also made better when someone can explain their choices so you can tell they didn't just cut and paste movie titles on to the page. While anyone can make a movie best list for their own edification, they shouldn't expect me to waste my time reading it. Unless it was made by a friend or valid, known authority on cinema, a best list is just a set of movie titles written on a page. It may as well be generated by a computer as far as I'm concerned. Despite this, people take up much web space anally classifying all the movies they enjoy, which usually happen to be the same obvious movies that everyone already knows are great. I think people like to do this because it is easier to monotonously name-drop movie titles than to write something substantial about movies. Plus, its easy to fake being smart by latching onto others opinions or saying "I like (fill in blank with name of something smart)." I must confess that I have a personal best list, the top fifty movies of which are listed on this blog, although I put off posting it until after I had written a substantial amount of material elsewhere on the blog.
Even when real authorities make these lists, I still find it tiresome. Go through a Border's store and check out the books on movies. Almost all of them are trivia books and books about some random critics group's best list. These books are a racket. Do I really need to know the favorite movies of the society of New York Film Critics? Are they more or less valid than Time Magazine? These books are filled with titles of movies every film buff already knows and trivia facts that every film buff already knows or can at least easily look up. I believe these books mainly exist to validate the geeky knowledge of their readers rather than for anyone to learn something new. That's why the covers nearly always feature famous, recognizable movies guaranteed to not stump anyone. People like to know that some important group says the movies they have seen are great. In most cases, you can copy the table of contents and skip the book.
One of the largest cons about movie best lists is that they can promote a checklist or to-do list mentality to art. Art is something to be savored. It is a moment of transcendent beauty, not to be rushed. Although movies have a set run-time, they can be mentally "rushed" by the viewer. Art is not a grocery list of "must-see" movies. When we turn art into must-learn factual knowledge, we miss the point. Watching movies normally shouldn't feel like a unhappy child going to school. In some cases, we may need to stretch ourselves to break our narrow tastes and this does take discipline, but we should always attempt to savor each individual movie. We should never watch movies just so we can say we've seen all the movies on such and such list. Movie viewing is no more a cause for bragging rights than sitting on your porch watching the sun set.
In conclusion, movie best lists are a mixed bag. They can have meaning and import to some extent or they can be the meaningless rantings of a bored person. Because of my belief in best lists as a great starting point for film viewing, I may eventually put brief reviews for some of the more credible best lists on this blog.

Ending child marriage and closing the education gap
by M Niaz Asadullah, Fathema Khatoon, Abdul Alim
Women in most parts of the developing world are under-represented in the workplace and poorly paid. One reason for this is the gender gap in education – women tend to be less schooled than men. Two countries that have made progress in getting girls into schools are Bangladesh and Uganda. However, despite increased enrollment, serious concerns remain over education quality in both countries.
In Uganda, pass rate in school public exams are low; students are behind their peers in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania in terms of what they learn in school. In Bangladesh, evidence points to a weak relationship between years spent in school and basic numeracy skills acquired. A large proportion of the adolescents in Bangladesh, particularly girls, are in school but not learning. A similar pattern has also been documented for other South Asian countries.
According to the 2016 State of the World’s Children report of UNICEF, 38 per cent of children leave primary school without learning how to read, write and do simple arithmetic. What are the solutions? Research has found many, because the reasons why schooling does not lead to sizable gains in numeracy and literacy skills are many. Research on Bangladesh and Uganda presented at UNU-WIDER’s recently concluded Human Capital and Growth Conference provides new insights into the causes of low human capital formation in developing countries.
The role of early marriage
Educated mothers often compensate their children for the lack of learning in school by acting as tutors at home. Yet a majority of rural mothers in developing countries themselves lack human capital, with low literacy and numeracy skills. A key reason for this is the social norm of early marriage.
In patriarchal societies, the custom of child marriage remains one of the dominant factors causing girls to drop out of secondary school. Despite significant falls in poverty, the prevalence of early marriage has not changed much in South Asia and many parts of Africa. In Uganda, for instance, nearly one in every two girls is married before reaching their 18th birthday while in Bangladesh, two out of every three women aged between 20 and 24 marry young.
Bangladesh and Uganda
A study of Bangladesh by BRAC researchers Fathema Khatoon, Abdul Alim, and Professor Niaz Asadullah of Malaya University documents lower levels of literacy and schooling among women who marry early. A one year delay in getting married increases a mother’s schooling by around a third of a year. A study on Uganda by Naveen Sunder of Cornell University supports this conclusion – in Uganda a one year delay in marriage leads to an increase of 0.5-0.75 years of education and an increase of about 5-10 per cent in the chance of being fully literate. Together these two studies confirm the extent of human capital lost because of early marriage.
Intergenerational impacts
In addition to studying the adverse effect of early marriage on women’s schooling and literacy, researchers at the conference presented research on the intergenerational impact of early marriage on the children subsequently born. The Bangladesh study by Asadullah, Alim, Khatoon and Chaudhury found that being raised by a mother who marries early has a significantly negative influence on the numeracy outcome of her daughters. No such adverse effect is found for her sons. On the other hand, Sunder finds significant negative effects of early marriage on the child’s hemoglobin levels, and probability of being anemic or severely anemic.
Overall, the findings presented at the UNU-WIDER conference confirm that delayed marriage can lead to tangible gains in terms of an improved education and health status for the next generation. Efforts to build women’s human capital in Africa and South Asia therefore need to adopt a more integrated framework and explicitly tackle the problem of child marriage. The focus should be on empowering adolescent girls and improving their agency to make their own life choices independent of their schooling and socio-economic status. Without addressing social customs such as early marriage, policies that exclusively emphasize supply side improvements can only result in a waste of scarce public resources.

Monday briefing: Banned CFC emissions traced to China's construction industry
An increase in ozone-depleting CFCs has been linked to widespread illegal use in the Chinese construction industry, a breach of social nostalgia service Timehop has captured details of 21 million users
Your WIRED daily briefing. Today, an increase in ozone-depleting CFCs has been linked to widespread illegal use in the Chinese construction industry, a breach of social nostalgia service Timehop has captured details of 21 million users, Twitter’s vast metadata haul is a privacy nightmare and more.
1. Banned CFC emissions traced to China's construction industry
A report from the Environmental Investigation Agency campaign group has found that construction firms in China are using the banned ozone-depleting chemical CFC-11 to inflate thermal insulation in homes (BBC News). The EIA investigation was undertaken after scientists warned of a resurgence in chlorofluorocarbon use somewhere in East Asia, slowing the repair of the hole in the Earth's ozone layer. EIA's Avipsa Mahapatra told BBC News that, although the chemical is banned in China, companies freely admitted using it: "The fact that they were so blasé about it, the fact that they told us very openly how pervasive it is in the market, these were shocking findings for us."
2. Timehop breach affects 21 million users
Social media nostalgia service Timehop suffered a massive data breach during the USA's 4th of July bank holiday, with 21 million users' details exposed (The Register). Affected data includes names, email addresses, phone numbers and, perhaps most worryingly, access tokens that gave Timehop access to social media sites such as Facebook, allowing the service to create "memories" based on its users' past posts. Timehop says the tokens are no longer active but warns that " there was a short time window during which it was theoretically possible for unauthorized users to access those posts".

3. Twitter’s vast metadata haul is a privacy nightmare for users
Metadata on Twitter can also be used in extremely precise identification each and every one of us, according to a new paper by researchers at University College London and the Alan Turing Institute (WIRED). No matter how anonymous you might think they are, your tweets can be traced back to you with unerring accuracy. The scientists used tweets and the associated metadata to identify any user in a group of 10,000 Twitter users with 96.7 per cent accuracy. Even when muddling up to 60 per cent of the metadata, the model could still pinpoint a single person with more than 95 per cent accuracy.
4. Polar fitness tracker maps are revealing spies' private locations
Fitness tracking app Polar Flow suffers a vulnerability that allows location data from private profiles to be accessed by anyone, simply by modifying the web address used to query the site (ZDnet). An investigation by Bellingcat and De Correspondent found that, by querying the coordinates of sensitive government locations – often blurred out on the Google Maps data used by Polar's tracker – it was possible to extract the names and even addresses of people working at those sites. The investigators identified almost 6,500 such users, including staff at GCHQ, France's DGSE and the Russian GRU headquarters in Moscow.
5. Zero Escape creator reveals his next murder mystery
AI: The Somnium Project is the next murder mystery from Kotaro Uchikoshi, creator of the haunting Zero Escape series of visual novels, and its announcement trailer has been revealed by publisher Spike Chunsoft at Anime Expo 2018 (Eurogamer). Set in a high-tech version of Tokyo, detective Kaname Date is on the trail of a serial killer that has gouged out his victim's left eye. The detective's own cybernetic eye is equipped with technology that allows him to see the dreams and memories of witnesses as he attempts to uncover the killer's identity.

The cruel, dangerous reality of gay conversion therapy
Gabriel Arana was a teenager when his parents found out he was gay. His mother, concerned his life would be "too difficult" as a gay man, immediately booked an appointment with a therapist, Joseph Nicolosi, who promised to "cure" him of his homosexuality. Arana, who later wrote about the experience for American Prospect in 2012, was experiencing what is often referred to as "gay conversion therapy"– therapy intended to get rid of same sex attraction. He is not alone. A recent £4.5 million government survey found that 2 per cent of its 108,000 UK respondents had undergone conversion therapy; a further 5 per cent had been offered it.

Are Your Holiday Gifts Late? Yeah, Blame Trump (Again)
Cameron LeBlanc
The USPS is in a state of pandemonium right now. Widespread shipping delays mean millions of packages won’t arrive in time for Christmas. Reporting in the Philadelphia Inquirer found facilities so full it’s difficult to walk, packages sitting in trailers because there’s no room to unload them, and pre-Thanksgiving postmarks remaining undelivered. It’s grim. But why is the USPS so overwhelmed by Christmas?
Well, there are three principal reasons for this situation. The first is the record volume of holiday deliveries. COVID-19 means fewer people are shopping in person and traveling, which means more people are shopping online and mailing gifts to loved ones in lieu of bringing them over on Christmas Day. FedEx and UPS have reached capacity and are restricting what they will accept from large-volume retail shippers.
“The Postal Service can’t and wouldn’t do that. They take on all comers. So you can well imagine that those are who are being turned away from FedEx, UPS and perhaps others are in all likelihood going to turn to the Postal Service,” John McHugh, chairman of advocacy group The Package Coalition, told the Washington Post. The agency is now receiving up to 6 million packages a day, up 14 percent as of December 12. That’s a lot of mail.
The second reason the USPS is struggling? COVID-19 has absolutely walloped its workforce. The American Postal Workers Union reports that 19,000 USPS workers have called in sick or are isolating themselves after potential exposure to the novel coronavirus. This means they’re unavailable to work just when they’re most needed.
The third reason your Christmas presents won’t arrive on time? “Cost-cutting initiatives” implemented by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, many without the legally necessary approval of the Postal Regulatory Commission, have slowed things down. This affects not just the amount of people on staff, but the ability of the USPS to hire seasonal workers to help out with the generally increased volume of Christmas deliveries.
DeJoy has attempted to eliminate overtime, limit the number of trucks, remove sorting machines, reduce seasonal hiring, and restructure the postal service to centralize power around the postmaster general, reassigning many senior staffers with decades of expertise into roles that reduce their influence. Federal courts have stopped some of these changes, but even in those cases, conflicting direction from USPS management and the courts means confusion and delays are bound to happen.
Whether it’s a direct result of a Trump appointee (and huge Republican fundraiser) purposefully wrecking the USPS as part of a yearslong GOP effort to destroy it, and the election, the indirect result of Trump’s disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic (the U.S. has four percent of the world’s population but over 23 percent of its confirmed COVID-19 cases), or both, the blame for your kids not getting their Christmas presents on time falls squarely at Trump’s feet. What a Grinch.

First look at Goodison's facelift
Newly-released artist's impressions of the cosmetic changes planned for Goodison Park show how Everton's ground will hopefully look when the new season kicks off in August.
The club announced earlier this month plans to upgrade the outside of the stadium with new cladding on the stands and the new images offer a glimpse at how the exterior of the Grand Old Lady will look.
The corners of the stands will have royal blue cladding with a prominent Everton crest and new decoration on the Park End will include the name "Goodison" in letters above the top of the stand.
In addition, a banner system will adorn the front of the Main Stand overlooking Goodison Road and a new tower construction is planned for the corner of the Park End.
For full details and more images, visit evertonfc.com.
Some blue lippy for the Old Lady!
Rob Halligan
Plans have only just been submitted to the council for this. How long will it take for the council to approve these plans, and then for the work to be completed, bearing in mind the season starts 8 weeks on Saturday?
Mark Tanton
The planning isn't anything so complicated as a new building, you'd think, and cladding and stuff - well they can whack that up over a weekend surely.
Better than nothing I suppose. Probably be in our new ground by 2019-20 anyway.
Just getting me spoon ready to tuck into my self served portion of "humble pie", 'cos on another thread I poured my scorn flavoured gripe water upon this project.
I really like the impression that this creates.
"The Grand Old Lady", really is just about my favourite place on earth. But ! We need to improve ALL of the crappy views, the wood needs to go, there needs to be something a bit more impressive than bare breezeblock and bare plaster and bare cables and bare pipework in ALL the concourses beneath the stands.
If we stay at completely refitted "Grand Old Lady", so it looks the same to the cameras from pitchside, but is in ALL respects a football ground fit to serve for another century ahead, then I'll be happy.
If we build a brand new "God's Acre" in one of the north docks (Stanley, Sandon, Trafalgar ? All sound good to me) then it really must be in each and every respect a fucking monster, a bearpit, a theatre fit for the true Toff's of English football !
No embarrasing "lego castles" like at West Hambarassments old gaff.
So no to a "Rupert Tower" in each corner.
Ged Simpson
Love it. You can make our old place look cool with blue lights.
I think we are the only dugout to still have plastic seats!
Looks a bit naff when the rest of league all have leather sports car bucket seats with there badge embroided!
I don't care if we have a shitty wooden bench with slats. I always think those fancy seats are a bit "noveau-riche" anyway.
It's easier to clean plastic seats when they've had sweaty bollocks sat on them than leather ones!
Facelift, full refurbishment, new stadium even — or any other such positive moves... I'm not fussed as I am starting to believe that this revolution is under way and it won't stop until we are sitting pretty on top of pile!
We'll not be left behind and the future of Everton Football Club is and will always be the greatest thing on earth (in sporting terms, I love my wife and children!!)
Let's match the Koeman appointment with some world class additions to the squad.
Tommy Webber
I'll probably get a roasting for this comment and deservedly so but as long as we don't put the word Juicy (in bright Pink) on the back of the Grand Old Lady's arse then I think we're good! How we got from possible new stadium on the waterfront to Mutton dressed up as Lamb IDK!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1toSU5KItF8
Barry Kay
Mark (4) I'm a cladder and I can tell you it will take more than a weekend. It would actually be easier on a new building.
Also it's called Rain Screen which is harder than it looks. A lot of build up work involved.
Pleased that it's being done, as it shows some direction at last from board level. However, what's with the two blue towers either side of the Park End?
To me, the design looks a bit like they've sent a couple of work experience lads over to the club shop for two of those boxes we sell commemorative Everton golf tees in, and stood them up either side of the Park End, before taking a forced perspective shot!
Olalekan Taofik
I wish to visit Goodison Park soon from Lagos,Nigeria to feel the electrifying 12th man behind EFC players.
I have been an Evertonian since September 2002 when Joseph Yobo joined the club after the World Cup.I have been enjoying the club despite the trophyless seasons all these years.
I hope the club will win something this coming season.

Well,Olalekan, I'm sure that when you do eventually make your visit you'll be made very welcome.
Paul Black
Olalekan (17), get yourself to Goodison Park as soon as you can, our Nigerian brother, and for the first time you too can be one of the 12th men.
Welcome to the Blue Revolution, my friend! We are one!
Olalekan, hopefully you won't have to put up with as many barren years as many of us have and see us lift a trophy this year!
You'll be welcomed with open arms like all our fellow toffees from abroad.
As for the refurbishment, anything is welcome to tart the place up a bit. Finally feels like stuff is getting done with the new man upstairs.
Colin Metcalfe
Brian#11 good job we didn't get Joachim Low then ... With his scratch and sniff technique !!
Olalekan#17 welcome and yes you have to experience Goodison at least once , it is truely a bearpit when it's rocking. !!!
Looks ok but we are all waiting for a new stadium which I believe will happen now the Mosh is running the show.
Welcome Olalean, great to hear from you and Yobo was a very good player for EFC.
Brian (11) - 'It's easier to clean plastic seats when they've had sweaty bollocks sat on them than leather ones!'
Well exactly, I mean imagine trying to get Joachim Low stains out of suede
As for the facelift pics, I remember a few years ago meeting Tracey Emin at an exhibition of her work at the Tate.
I asked her if she was happy with the response to her work and she suddenly jutted out her chin, leant forward, put her fist on her forehead and said "Niiiiiice to see you, to see you..wih-wih-wih-wih-wih-wih...niiiiiiiice!!"
I've never trusted an artist's impression since.
I'll get me coat.
Minik Hansen
John #9 I think that's why the squad had a decent away record last season, 'cause the benches were so comfy and replacers hit the ground running.
Duncan McDine
Bloody hell Eugene, you should be banned for that.
Jay Griffiths
Had a good look at the main stand on Sunday whilst passing. With the street empty I was able to scrutinise. As much as I've loved Goodison for over half a century I accept and realise that a move is sadly, a necessity. The docks has to be the future. Aesthetic and practical. We cannot mark time whilst the rest are busy constructing.
Duncan - 'Bloody hell Eugene, you should be banned for that.'
You make a good point.
And wih-wih-wih-wih what do points maaaake? (waves arm encouraging TWers to shout 'prizes!')
Actually under normal circumstances I'd be inclined to agree with you, however in my defence, it is summer and bad-gag leeway should (imo) be given at this time of year.
Plus it was surely no less stimulating than the 8,065 posts we've had so far informing us "I'd like us to go for..." followed by the names of every player not currently on our books.
"Good game, good game".
(Something I look forward to shouting at Mr Niasse this season).
Bobby Thomas
Barry #14
For the images that seem to be going on the sides of the stands, would the wrap around with the big screen that was placed around St Johns opposite Lime Street be anything like whats proposed?
Barry Kay #14 - I think I've been on TW for about ten years and I can honestly say thats the best post I've ever seen on this site.
Its simply the best. Brilliant. : )
Andy Crooks
Best thread in a while, Mike. Laugh out loud stuff. Cracking stuff from Eugene and a blinder from Barry.
Andy - I chink glasses from across the sea to you, yours and both Irish teams. What a result today for Northern Ireland, superb.
Gordon Crawford
Looks well. Much needed face life.
And well done GAWA. 😀
Christine Foster
Eugene, your starting to sound like Arkwright still are you starting to look like him though? That would be a worry!
Christine - 'Eugene, your starting to sound like Arkwright still are you starting to look like him though? That would be a worry!'
That certainly would be a worry
(looking like an 11 year-old corpse)
Dave Horne
Getting back to the original topic title.
Rather than cheap looking partial cladding i'd like to see a hot water supply in the top balcony toilets. Are other parts of the ground also lacking hot water?
It is the 21st century after all !
A bit of cladding was all the Duckworths needed to raise their profile in the Street. (For the older readers)
Maynard Hanna
With regard to any new stadium design, and after watching the Euros and looking at their stadiums, What about the Stade De Lyon? It would look mighty well sitting on the docklands alongside the Mersey. Just add in an extra 4,000 seats for we will need a 64,000 all-seater stadium in the years ahead.
Kevin Tully
I could never understand why this relatively cheap makeover wasn't addressed by BK & chums. On the approach to GP, the sight of warehouse type cladding looked absolutely awful 20 years ago - never mind today. The rusty windows on the main stand just added to the perception that nobody actually gave a fuck about the ground or what condition the place was in.
About time, even though we are only hopefully there for a few more years until the waterfront dream becomes a reality. Every RS fan I speak to is hoping we don't get permission for a new stadium in town. They know they will be instantly downgraded if we manage to pull it off. In fact, a few of the bitter bastards have said they will organise a protest group to stop it happening!
Finally got the time to take a walk down to Clarence Dock today .
What can I say ..... It's perfect !!
Took me about 25 mins from Albert Dock , it's an enormous piece of land certainly big enough for a 50,000+ stadium and right on the Mersey !
If Moshiri can work his magic with Peel Holding then we will have one of the most iconic stadiums in the country !!
They can keep the outer wall in place as it has many entrances , I can just imagine our crest and Everton FC - Clarence Dock entrance illuminated in royal blue !! It will be a truely outstanding location .
I'm not bothered about the outside, it's the inside which tells the story. I'm a STH in the upper Bullens and it's like being in the '70s – tiny wooden seats, no leg room, exposed painted brickwork, obstructed views, hundreds of fans jostling in a tiny space for shit beer, junk food or ٠+ tea and coffee.
Has anyone attended a US major league sports venue? It is a different world where they actually value their customers.
I don't suppose BK has ever been in the Upper Bullens but Mr Moshiri – sort it out!
Nicholas Ryan
Sorry to rain on the parade etc. but I saw a news item yesterday [BBC website I think] which said that a Chinese hedge fund-type business, which is effectively the Chinese government, was looking at buying LFC for £700m.
They were part of a delegation which came to UK recently, and asked to be taken to Liverpool, because it has the oldest Chinese community in Europe. While here, they expressed an interest in LFC, and were shown around Chinatown by George Osborne, "... and the docks area WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A STADIUM...'
Now, remember, Peel Holdings, who own all the land, said that their Mersey Waters project was backed by Chinese investors. Put the two stories together, and I think we might have a problem!
If Peel have two stadium-building parties, for the same land, the price will go through the roof!
The saving grace may be, that the article concluded with the words; Fenway Sports are not thought to be keen to sell!
Roger (48) I'm in the Upper Bullens as well and it can be "cosy" to say the least. However, we are hoping to get a new stadium built, either down at the waterfront or Croxteth.
It wouldn't seem likely that a massive rebuilding in GP is going to take place, unless the stadium becomes a non starter. So it's "Cosy Old Bullens" for the next few years, I would think.
Frank Crewe
@ Nicholas Ryan.
Would any or all of that investment be dependent on whether the UK is in or out of the EU? Because since Osbourne is for staying in I would assume he would have bigged up investment opportunities on the basis of remaining in (which I agree with BTW).
Now if in our current hysteria over immigration we decide to leave I think the PL will become a much less secure investment. Especially if we can't get the top european players like we have been doing up to now.
Not to worry. We can always go back to our super talented English players like Kane, Lallana, Sterling etc. Who wouldn't want to pay premium prices to see them?
Just Everton's luck. We finally get some cash to spend but there is a good chance that we may get cut off from the very players we would want to spend it on.
Steve Carse
Being out of the EU will have no impact. All that would happen is that the UK Government would provide an exemption to the normal rules to cover cross border football transfers. That's the beauty of leaving - your own elected government makes the decisions.
I see. Exemptions for rich footballers based on the fact that they can kick a ball. A skill this country so desperately needs. So much for the points system. Wouldn't that be classed as taking jobs from British workers? Don't we have football players in this country that need the work?
Exemptions? I think not.
Kevin Jones
Eugene, I think it was Van Gogh who did a marvellous Tommy Cooper when Cezanne asked "do you want a fez" Vinny said "no thanks I've got one ear"
Brendan Moriarty
I would prefer to see an artist´s impression of any trophies we are likely to win next season.
Just read that The Old Lady saw the 7th highest attendance in the history of British football in 1948. It was a derby and there were over 72.000 in attendance. Who won that one?
The rs came in at 22 (why bother? Usually it's the top 20 but the media had to include their beloved) with 62.000. The record is held by Ranger with 118.000+. The 1930's seem to be the Golden Years attendance-wise.
Colin, there were 78,299 at the match that day who saw a 1-1 draw. We had attendances in the 1950-60's that saw over 70,000 there, and they were against teams that are not quite the draw that they were in those days, like Burnley, Blackpool etc. They 72000 you refer to was probably the first Derby after the RS were promoted.That ended 2-2.
James Hughes
Colin .that match must have been a bit interesting to say the least. I've been there when we had 54,000+ and it was tight to say the least. I think we were capped at 55,000 at the time, and then came 3/4 time when the gates opened!! I've had to use that as well when I couldn't get a ticket, 75 minutes gone , the gates open and every man, women and child for themselves.
Trevor Lynes
I was in Goodison for three games with gates over 70,000...72,000 was for a fifth round cup tie against Spurs which we won two one.78,000 and 75,000 were for derby games.Incidently, what about the cup tie against Liverpool when BOTH grounds were filled to capacity and thousands were locked out and stood in Goodison Road shouting up for the scores.Ball scored the winner that evening and an estimated 137,000 fans watched the game at Anfield on close circuit and live in Goodison.Strangely enough almost all were standing and no problems at all.I miss the atmosphere of the all standing period when the fans were much more vocal.Sitting down definitely dampens the atmosphere IMO.The highest league gate was at Maine Road 81,000.
Colin I was at that game, just turned eight, as Ray points out big attendances were not unusual in the forties fifties and sixties. Just after the war Newcastle United had an average attendance in one season of over 56, 000 and that was in the old second division.
When Everton came up from the second division in 1954, the first the home against Arsenal and PNE were 69,000 and 76,000 and they were on the Wednesday and Saturday of the same week, it has to be said it is amazing that there were not some distasters, crowds were literally pushed from pillar to post.
Goodison Park was one of the best grounds in the country at that time if not the best.Sad to see the old lady today, but we will soon be on the banks of the Mersey.
So basically they lied in that piece? I'd heard of bigger crowds at Goodison but that's what the article said. Queens Park (Scotland) had over 95.000 for one of their games which is mind blowing.
The biggest crowd I can remember at Goodison was a derby game and their were around 52.000 in the ground. We were packed in like sardines but what an atmosphere. Games are dead in comparison nowadays. I envy those of you who were in even bigger crowds.
Ian Robert
Dont Queens Park play at Hampden? would explain the attendance Colin
Highest League Attendance 78,299 v Liverpool, 18 September 1948
Highest FA Cup Attendance 77,902 v Manchester United, FA Cup, 5th Round, 14 February 1953
Could be Ian. I think it was in the 30's as well. Charlton had 80 odd thousand for a home game as well, also in the 30's. I wonder how much it cost to get in?
My dad, if I remember right, used to tell me he'd go to the match, have something to eat then go to the pictures afterwards all for less than a shilling. That can't be right can it?
FA cup finals in 1930s were about 6d.....so a shilling including chips sounds right to me Colin...oh and they do play at Hmpden
Colin, this could turn into a Monty Python Yorkshire Man script if we're not careful......" We used to live on a handful of hot gravel for us tea" etc..
I remember getting pissed on crappy Double Diamond on 10s, (50p),in the mid sixties. And I had a bag of chips...
Ten bob Ray? Luxury!! I worked 366 days a year, 25 hours a day, 8 days a week and all for a Penny every 3 years!!!
Must get this in before the thread closes, when Everton won the league in 1962-3 we had an average attendance that season of over 51,000, when Liverpool were winning all their trophies in the sixties and seventies they never had an average attendance anywhere near this and the ground held well over this, mind you they were only followed, like us, by fans mainly from The local areas. Now most Liverpool Scouse fans follow them from the local PUB.
Colin(68) fuckin' grabber!!!!!!
Colin, you were lucky...we used to dream etc...etc..
True, Dave, very true.
Pete Cross
Colin I was in a 73,000 att at Goodisonpark on a Christmas Day !!
Andrew Clare
Steve#53,
Do you think your own elected government are making decisions for you?
On another note the biggest crowd I was in was the '66 Charity Shield game. 66,000 at Goodison. I won't mention the result but a fantastic atmosphere all the same.
Dick Fearon
My best atmosphere at Goodison for a non-derby game was midweek very misty vs Charlton. 72,000 in attendance with a hell of a squeeze getting in but, once in, there was no trouble.
I am convinced that, with proper control of space, standing room places are OK.
Inter in 1963 (62000) and rs 1967 FA Cup (65000) my biggest although managed the 75 minute bunk-in at 1966 league derby (the Alan Ball derby) (64000). Loved standing at games and still do at aways - agree Dick#74 final paragraph
Paul Burns
Two sayings sum up this cosmetic effort, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and you can't polish a turd.
Insert as appropriate.
Roll on the riverside stadium.
Ian Hams
Has any work started on this yet,I'm not from the city so wouldn't knoy but it sounds like a tall order if any sort of planning permission is required.
Ian Hollingworth
Christ, I cannot imagine over 70k in Goodison.
I think the Bayern semi in 1985 was about 51k and you could not move. It was a brilliant atmosphere though.

Just How Bad Is Dating in Denver, Anyway?
Colorado Just Made Reopening Denver a Little Easier

As COVID-19 rates ramp up in nearby states, Colorado is coming back to life...and Denver seems positively lively.
Restaurants are hosting live music. Some clubs and venues are holding outdoor events. Library book drops are accepting returns. Some galleries are open. People are wandering through the Denver Botanic Gardens and the Denver Zoo. Next week, History Colorado and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will be back in business.
Now the City and County of Denver will be opening up even more thanks to a June 17 decision by the Colorado Department of Public and Health and Environment to approve county-requested variances to the state's safer-at-home regulations.

"The variances were approved by CDPHE based on the city’s current prevalence of COVID-19," Denver's pandemic-response team explains in a statement. "The city also needed to demonstrate that it has a strong public-health surveillance system, sufficient hospital capacity, and appropriate thresholds for rolling back the variance if conditions worsen."
As Governor Jared Polis explained on June 15, these decisions are all based on the availability of hospital beds and whether the medical system can handle the rate of COVID-19 cases.
The approved variance requests include alternative guidelines from the state's safer-at-home order regarding the opening of museums, restaurants, the Cherry Creek Mall, Four Mile Park, indoor pools, recreation centers, gyms, and horse competitions at the National Western Complex.
"CDPHE has deemed that variance locations should not exceed more than 50 people gathered in a room or 'confined indoor space' at any given time, and not exceed 125 people in an outdoor space," the city's statement notes.
The state's approved variances for the City and County of Denver include:
Museums may operate at 50% occupancy with up to 50 people per room and not to exceed 125 people in an outdoor space. Museums can open under this variance after submitting their reopening plan to the city for review and approval
Restaurants may operate at 50% occupancy with up to 50 people in a confined indoor space (as opposed to the Safer at Home statewide limitation of 50 people for the entire restaurant)
The Cherry Creek Mall may open the indoor mall, and stores within Cherry Creek Mall may operate at 50% occupancy
Gyms, recreation centers and indoor pools may operate at 50% occupancy with up to 50 people in a confined space
Horse competitions at the National Western Complex can occur with activities limited to 50 people and no spectator shows
All these changes take place immediately.
In addition to this state-inspired news, the city announced that the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has approved immediate street closures along Larimer Street and Glenarm Place, allowing restaurants to provide more space for physical distancing between customers.
Closures have been approved for the 1400 block of Larimer Street (Larimer Square), and on Glenarm Place between 15th and 17th streets.
All of this is good news...assuming businesses and customers are able to comply with the CDPHE guidelines and ensure that there isn't a COVID-19 spike in Denver.
For more information about Denver's response to COVID-19, go to the city's website.

India-S'pore trade can reach USD 25 billion by 2019-20: FIEO
Bilateral trade between India and Singapore can achieve the target of USD 25 billion by 2019-20 as it has seen a strong growth in the recent years, a senior Indian trade official has said.
"We can easily reach USD 25 billion trade with Singapore by 2019-20, up from the current level of USD 17 billion," Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) chief Ganesh Kumar Gupta said here yesterday.
India's export to Singapore grew by 23 per cent in the last fiscal though overall exports grew by only 4 percent, he said, pointing out that the bilateral trade between India and Singapore was only 2.52 per cent of India's overall trade.
FIEO will be increasing participation by its small and medium scale manufacturers and retailers, Gupta said at the opening of the four-day Singapore International Indian Expo.
"The expo is providing wonderful opportunity to micro and small exporters to showcase wide range of quality products to high demanding customers in Singapore.
"Exporters will move from B2C (business to consumer) to B2B (business-to-business) platform through participation in such expo," he said.
The FIEO is participating in the expo with 89 companies representing apparel, gems and jewellery, furnitures, handicrafts and textiles.
"The participation is likely to be doubled in 2018," Gupta added.
More than 200 stalls, offering over 10,000 Indian-origin products, have been put at the expo.
Gupta joined Indian High Commissioner Jawed Ashraf and Singapore's senior Parliamentary Secretary for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling and other officials in lighting the inaugural lamp of the expo, being held from September 7 to 10 at the Suntec complex.

Note ban was a shake-up, achieved its main objectives: Jaitley
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said demonetisation was a shake-up which achieved its "principal objectives" of decreasing cash transactions, expanding the tax base and increasing digitisation.
"Confiscating" the money was not the aim, he pointed out.
"Demonetisation was certainly a shake-up," Jaitley said at the Bloomberg India Economic Forum here.
"I think the demonetisation debate in India actually is being held at two different levels. The first level was 'there's an inconvenience caused, there are queues which have come up'.
"(The second argument being) 'Oh the money has come back into the system'. But that was the whole idea. The idea is not to confiscate money," the finance minister said.
"The idea is to make sure that this anonymous cash operating in the system itself becomes a part of the system," he said.
"There were three principal objectives besides the big picture that we wanted to shake and break the Indian normal.
We wanted to create a new Indian normal," he said.
While announcing the decision to ban Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on November 8 last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said the move was aimed at reducing black money, checking counterfeiting and curbing extremism.
Referring to the "principal objectives", Jaitley today said note ban helped reduce the reliance on cash, particularly high denomination currency.
"In the first round itself we have managed to squeeze a significant part of it (currency)," Jaitley said.
It also helped increase the tax base as the anonymity associated with the cash was no longer available, he said.
"A lot of people had to (come into tax net) because once you put money into the banking system, the anonymity of cash was lost. Cash got identified with its owner," he said.
On digitisation, the third "principal objective", Jaitley said digital transactions have "multiplied" and digitisation has now become "centre stage agenda of economic governance in India".

Sometimes editorials take on a life of their own. I was recently at a lunch when the topic of sound came up and one of the diners mentioned that his son had given him a sound system for his birthday. ‘I couldn’t get it to work,’ he said. ‘And when he told me I had to use my phone to operate it, I had to tell him that since I had trouble using it to make phone calls, my chances of operating my new system with it were going to be very slim.’ At which point another guest chimed in to say that his 70s-vintage system had given up the ghost and that when he visited a hi-fi store to investigate his options, they’d showed him only phone-operated systems. ‘I…
HEDD NOW IN OZ HEDD (Heinz Electrodynamic Designs) equipment has become available in Australia for the first time. It’s distributed by Addicted to Audio (A2A), a Melbourne-based distributor that has retail stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, HEDD is a family business founded 30 years ago by industry veteran Klaus Heinz. HEDD manufactures state-of-the-art professional studio monitors as well as home loudspeaker systems and, most recently, headphones. ‘Our speaker designs are 100 per cent analogue, yet they incorporate some of the key advantages of digital signal optimisation using our HEDD Lineariser and also provide digital connectivity,’ said Heinz. ‘A modular system of input cards called the HEDD Bridge enables each of our Series One loudspeakers to handle digital audio protocols such as Dante (Audio-over-IP).’ Heinz first came to…

Every so often a product come along that challenges your expectations from your system. We recently installed the Trinnov Amethyst stereo pre-amplifier into our high-end room. Firstly the important bit – as you would expect this is a very good sounding preamplifier, certainly doing justice to the magnificent Halcro mono-block power amps we connected it to. And now for the magic. We have always considered our high-end room to be a pretty good sounding space. One of the things that the Trinnov does is calibrates and adjusts the output to suit the room. The difference is extraordinary! I can only imagine what it can do to a poor-sounding room.

This new Dali Oberon 1 has the distinction of being the lowest-priced Dali loudspeaker ever to use Dali’s patented soft magnetic compound (SMC) technology, which the company claims ‘drastically reduces non-linear magnetic distortion’. It also has the distinction of being one of the smallest speakers Dali has ever made, this Danish company being rather better known for its larger bookshelf models and its much larger floor-standing models. THE EQUIPMENT The Dali Oberon 1 is two-way bass reflex design with a 29mm soft-dome h.f. driver, a 133mm bass/midrange driver and a rear-firing bass reflex port. The h.f. driver (which is used in all five models in the Oberon range, about which more later) was reportedly designed and engineered specifically for this new range. It’s a 29mm ultra-lightweight soft-dome tweeter, made by Dali itself in…
laboratory test report
Newport Test Labs measured the overall frequency response of the Dali Oberon 1 as being 70Hz to 32kHz ±3.5dB, which is an excellent result, particularly so at high frequencies, where the tweeter’s response extends far beyond the 26kHz specified by Dali. The low-frequency down-point measured by Newport Test Labs is not quite the 51Hz specified by Dali, but Dali’s measurement may include boundary assistance. The difference between the specification and the measurement result in musical terms is a mere six notes (G1# to C2#). The in-room frequency response (without boundary assistance) measured by Newport Test Labs is shown in Graph 1 (note the upper graphing limit of 20kHz). You can see the response is superbly smooth, extending from 70Hz to 20kHz ±3dB. Across the upper bass, midrange and the high-frequency regions the…

The first 4 characters (“ABN”) represent the bank code. This is used to identify the other branches of the bank. Remember Access Bank is a global bank with other branches in different countries.
For the fifth and sixth letters, (“GG”) they represent the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 which just stands for the country code. It is a common feature such as “GB” which denotes United Kingdom, US which denotes United States.
The seventh and eight letters (“HAC”) represent the location which contains financial information. In certain scenarios they do represent the following information;
If the code is “0” it is then a test BIC rather than those used on a live network.
If the letter denotes “1” then it stands for a passive participant in the SWIFT network.
If it stands for “2” then it typically denotes a reverse billing BIC, in which case the recipient pays for the message rather than the normal mode where the sender pays for the message.
The last ninth to eleventh letters or digits ("XXX") represent the bank code to Access bank.
SWIFT standards are set by the division of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication which is in charge of registration of these codes. The SWIFT code for Access Bank Ghana is ABNGGHACXXX or ABDGGHAC

Shift Work Schedules
Creating schedules is so easy, no wonder it's #1
Hi SuperTarget,
You need the best employee management solution for scheduling and attendance.
SuperTarget Labor Management Consultant
Brian Leonard
Spending an exorbitant amount of time dedicated to employee scheduling is an ongoing concern in the Supermarket Chains industry. Trying to find a balance between availability and accountability is not only exhausting – but often at times – a herculean task. The good news is: it doesn’t have to be!
Top 3 Areas That Are Hurting SuperTarget the Most
How SuperTarget Can Lower Labor Costs
Best Employee Scheduling Practices
1. Failure to Plan Effectively and Strategically
There may be times where everything goes according to plan, and the schedule that was created for the week – or even month – pans out perfectly. But, what about the busier times of the year?
During certain seasons, like summertime, for instance, an influx in time-off requests will arise, and keeping track of who submitted PTO first becomes a challenge, especially for a staff roster higher in numbers.
Manually logging employee time-off requests in a notebook or in a spreadsheet may appear logical, but when it comes to practicality and organization, the process proves to be more of a burden with damaging consequences.
2. Poor Employee Communication
Once a schedule goes live, how do you confirm that every employee on your roster has, in fact, viewed that schedule?
Printing out a hardcopy and posting it in the break room or back-of-house sounds sufficient enough, but what guarantee do you have to prove that that schedule did not go unseen?
Then, there is a matter to consider when last-minute changes must be made. Redistributing the new schedule is not only another vexing task, but the process can grow confusing in an attempt to accurately track which version went to which employee.
There’s also the option to send the schedule via email, but the issues surrounding confirmed redistribution is still present.
3. Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software Falling Short
Tools like Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel are great in theory, but these types of platforms fall short when considering the unique and minute details that come with scheduling in the food industry.
Such applications and software lack in preventing scheduling conflicts, like overlapping shifts, over- and under-scheduling, and overtime – amongst many other costly issues. This is largely due to the fact that these platforms were not designed with scheduling in mind.
In order to effectively combat the top trouble-areas that are hurting SuperTarget the most, many companies – similar to your industry – have turned to Zip Schedules for employee scheduling and schedule monitoring solutions.
The areas that will see vast improvements are:
Employee Absenteeism
With Zip Schedules, schedules can be adjusted and published in real-time from a desktop, laptop, or smartphone. The live schedules can then be sent to each staff member, which will be received on their mobile device and in their online profile. Reports and data tracking are also logged, so management can confront and address any concerns in attendance patterns.
Streamlining and Accuracy
With the built-in labor forecasting tool, over-scheduling and under-scheduling no longer become an issue, as the scheduler will notify if too many shifts are being assigned during certain windows, and conversely if there is not enough coverage during busier times.
Budget Tracking
Through accurate data analytics, Zip Schedules’ software tracks trends in projected sales and syncs that daily forecast with projected staff needs. With access to such insight, you are in control of meeting budget goals, as well as cutting down on wage overspend.
With the Zip Schedules’ mobile app, employees can access their schedules anywhere and anytime. The app also offers features that allow employees to request time off, update availability, swap shifts with coworkers, and even communicate with management through the internal messaging system.
In order to make the most out of scheduling solutions, such practices are highly recommended and fully compatible with Zip Schedules.
1. Distribute the Schedule ASAP
In order to get all outside affairs in order, and with some states even enforcing a mandatory assigned schedule distribution time, it is immensely important to provide employees with upcoming schedules in advance (at least 2 weeks).
Providing leeway allows your employees to:
Account for possible shift conflicts and swap shifts with a coworker ahead of time, instead of waiting till the last minute
Reschedule commitments outside of work to avoid interfering with the upcoming work schedule
Take the initiative in finding a replacement, garnering accountability and building responsibility in each individual
Absorb the amount of time and effort it would take management to cover the now available shift
In terms of releasing the schedule and making it accessible immediately, utilizing cloud-based programs, like Zip Schedules is reliable and convenient. Through the cloud, the schedule is viewable 24-7, even after revisions have been applied. Once a change has been made in the schedule, the update is posted in real-time and a notification is sent to the team, preventing confusion and dismay.
2. Maintain Employee Communication
Yes, this may sound like a task easier said than done, but with the proper tools, the feat is entirely achievable.
Zip Schedules’ in-app messaging system allows employees and management to communicate directly with one another. This solution provides convenience and prevents messages from getting lost in translation between multiple platforms, like switching from text to email to instant messaging.
The employee communication feature is fully secured, so if an employee would like to address an HR or scheduling concern he/she is experiencing at work, that can be done privately with management through the app.
3. Honor Time-Off Requests when Possible
An important component to retaining good workers (who are also reliable when it comes to showing up for shifts) is assisting in a healthy work-life balance. This is often exemplified by honoring availability and time-off requests.
During the holidays and warmer season’s months, it’s not unusual to see a surge in employee PTO requests, especially for a brand like SuperTarget with a number of employees to manage.
Of course, not all requests can be accommodated, but it does not hurt to try, and the effort will not go unnoticed by your team.
A good place to start is by streamlining the process. First, define the rules. Confirm:
How requests should be submitted - in the scheduling app, like Zip Schedules, or on a hard copy form
If certain days are blocked out
The maximum amount of days that may be consecutively missed
How far in advance requests must be made
After establishing the set rules, cover grey areas such as overlapping requests. Clarify that final decisions can be made based on various factors, like seniority or first-come, first-serve.
Defining the rules from the start, keeping the process transparent, and applying technology to your advantage, seamlessly governs time-off requests while also fairly honoring all team members’ needs.
4. Prepare for Plan B
As the age-old saying goes: “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.”
Stressing the importance of always having a backup cannot be pressed enough, as even the most well-thought-out schedules can often fall apart due to circumstances beyond our control.
To account for emergencies, illness, or simple tardiness, it’s suggested to maintain a full employee roster with their most up-to-date availability and best contact number. There are a couple of avenues to take in retaining this. One, you can continuously manage it and manually input new information as it comes to you in a spreadsheet. Or, two, you can utilize scheduling applications to retain all necessary information for you.
Because the app is available to all active employees, management can instruct team members to confirm working availability at the beginning of each month and update accordingly if need be. In doing so, you can easily locate the next potentially available employee and quickly contact him/her.
Software dedicated to employee scheduling is especially great, because the most advanced systems, like Zip Schedules, can be integrated with existing software, such as time clocks. This is significantly vital because if an employee fails to show up for a shift and does not update management, the software will instantly send a notification to management so the matter gets addressed immediately.
5. Use Software that is Industry-Specific
Supermarket Chains-specific solutions, especially for hourly workers, pay dividends in the long-run.
Through dedicated software, scheduling can be automated and templated, saving management precious working hours that can be spent elsewhere in better marketing the brand and providing exceptional customer service.
Zip Schedules will not only make schedule creation simpler, but it will decrease labor costs, reduce overtime work – which can lead to labor lawsuits, and increase the bottom line for SuperTarget.
