Whelan began intense professional training at the Louisville Ballet Academy. She was accepted to the summer program of the School of American Ballet at age 14; a year later, she moved to New York to continue her studies there full-time.

Ms. Whelan has been a guest artist all over the world. She received the Dance Magazine Award in 2007, and in 2009 was given a Doctorate of Arts, honoris causa, from Bellarmine University. In 2011, she received both The Jerome Robbins Award and a Bessie Award for her Sustained Achievement in Performance.Since 2013, she has been developing and touring her own independent projects. Her inaugural project, Restless Creature broke down boundaries between interdisciplinary dance forms.

Victorian Pride Centre making history with the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives
23 April 2020 Community, News
The Victorian Pride Centre has announced that the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives (ALGA) have accepted their ceremonial key as the next LGBTIQ community organisation to sign a tenancy for the Pride Centre.
Due to physical distancing, Victorian Pride Centre Chair Jude Munro AO made the announcement from home and remarked on the incredible work that ALGA have done and continue to do in order to document the important and ever changing history of our community. ALGA virtually accepted their key to the centre during a recent online team meeting.
“ALGA have been around for 42 years now, collecting and compiling Australia’s LGBTIQ history and exhibiting it in order to educate our community about where we’ve come from,” said Jude Munro AO. “This is such crucial work and in the space of time that ALGA have been procuring our community’s history, we’ve seen much hard work and progress which could’ve easily been forgotten.”
ALGA holds the most significant collection of historical material about LGBTIQ communities in Australia and the move of the organisation to the Centre enables ALGA to continue to effectively manage, maintain and grow the collection, enable broader access and also presents opportunities to further highlight this rich collection.
“We are excited to be moving to the Victorian Pride Centre to further provide our communities with a place to engage with and celebrate our very queer histories,” said Angela Bailey, ALGA Board Chair.
With the external structure of the Victorian Pride Centre complete, this state of the art building will soon be an effervescent community hub and safe space for the entire LGBTIQ community. In turn providing further opportunity for ALGA to document our shared and personal LGBTIQ memoirs. For more information, visit: www.pridecentre.org.au for details.

Do you believe that Births can bring people together when they have fallen a part ?
Definitely! I've seen children dissolve racial prejudices and mend family ties. But its up to the individual to choose, really.
Very well said thanks
Do you really believe that if 2 people truly love each other that they can get through anything together?
Do you believe that young people are encouraged to have too much independence from their parents?
Can you honestly say you know a couple that has been married for over 30 years? Did you ask them how they stayed together so long? Do you believe you can have a relationship that will last this long?
Can babies have touretts when they are born? if so, what do they do differently since they cant do anything by themselves?
My name is Fabian. So there is this girl i have a big crush on, (not dating) I'm not ready to ask her out yet. But her name is Alyssa . I met her in middle school and me and her still text ALOT, like everyday. We sometimes hang out and chill. me and her care and love eachother alot, she loves me because i always been there for her, and i always made her feel better, she said she wouldn't know what she do without me. She said i am like one of the realest people out there. she said me and her will rock together forever. but these past 7 days i feel like me and her were getting dry, like if our bond wasn't the same , like if something was wrong with her. I miss texting her more, laughing and having funny and enjoyable convos, where we texted more and she replied faster. I noticed she has been sleeping in all day until 5 or 6pm , and she goes to bed earlier then usual, it made no sense to me. She also hasn't been texting anybody that much and she hasn't been on social media that much, i asked her and she "said You're the first person to actually notice. but idk, I've been sleeping a lot and idk why . Then i asked her what is causing all that and she said " I just got out of a really toxic friendship and it's been taking a huge toll on my emotions lately ". Turns out it was her bestfriend (Jony) they were really close. She really cared and trusted him. I asked what happened and she said "A lot of manipulation and mental abuse". What do you think she meant by that and what do you think might of happened? She said "We still talk a lil bit,, I just needed some space" But to be honest i don't know how to really help her, i need to find the right words to have her move on and whatever they have wasn't real anymore. I don't want her to think i am trying to talk her out her feelings, i also don't want to make her sound guilty or anything like that, i don't want to sound like An Asshole either. I am that type of person that is always going to be real with people and she knows that. I want her to be strong. Alot of people hurt
Do you believe you own your children? That while they are under your roof, you are the law and that's it? Or do you believe they are separate beings, deserve respect and consideration, and should have a say in things?
Do you believe that you can tell a lot about people by the company that they keep?
If Mormons believe that only a set number of people get into heaven, why do they come to your door to try to convert you and bring one more person in to potentially take thier spot?
We have a very interactive friendly group of people on this site. For the most part we know each other and get along well. Do you think that that frightens new people away..when they see how closely knit we can be in certain situations?
Do you believe most children still honor their Mother & Father, even after they have grown up & have a life of their own?

Scottish Startup Founded By Nigerian Secures £1.2M Investment
Pfizer & BioNTech To Increase Production of Vaccine Doses
Covid-19: How Nigeria Can Regain Vaccine Self-Reliance
Home/People & Money/Pfizer & BioNTech To Increase Production of Vaccine Doses
Michael Ajifowoke3 days ago
Please, share this story
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has expressed concern about wealthy nations buying up the supply of vaccines and leaving none for the developing world. The pandemic cannot be defeated unless vaccines are distributed equitably, he argued.
German biotech company BioNTech and its United States pharmaceutical partner Pfizer Inc. announced Monday plans to boost production of its Covid-19 vaccine by 700 million doses.
The joint producers of the first Covid-19 vaccine found to be effective against the virus initially planned to manufacture 1.5 billion doses in 2021 having received approval by regulators in the United Kingdom, United States, the European Union, and more than 40 other countries.
But the companies now intend to provide as many as 2 billion after BioNTech added to its production capacity in its home country Germany, it said in a statement.
A new production site in Marburg, Germany, is expected to become operational by the end of next month and will be able to make as many as 750 million doses per year.
That means a total of six facilities will be producing the vaccine – three in Germany, and three operated by Pfizer in the U.S.

Also, a change in European Union rules allowing an additional shot – a sixth dose – to be extracted from every vial, similar to the U.S. and the UK, have also boosted European supplies.
Last week, the EU announced a deal for an additional 300 million doses of the vaccine, doubling their supply to 600 million. The U.S. also has the option to buy up to 600 million doses while Britain has ordered 40 million and Japan 120 million.
The new production total “is based on continuous process improvements and expansion at the current facilities, and contingent upon adding more suppliers as well as contract manufacturers,” BioNTech’s statement read, as cited by the Financial Times.
The companies have shipped almost 33 million doses of the vaccine so far from six manufacturing sites in America and Europe, it said. More than 1 billion doses to be produced this year have been sold and committed for delivery.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said last week it is continuing negotiations with the companies about securing doses for the vaccine cooperative COVAX, organised by the agency to provide vaccines for low-income nations. No agreement has been reached.
A particular problem is the storage requirement of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine. The shots need to be kept at minus 70c during transit – colder than Antarctica – meaning it is difficult to distribute in countries without cold-chain infrastructure.

Some African countries have made significant progress in this regard. The South African government has a deal with the Serum Institute of India for the supply of 1.5 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford. The first batches of supply are to begin in the first quarter of 2021, January, and the remaining batches in February.
Nigerian meanwhile expects to receive 100,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine by the end of January, through the first phase of the COVAX facility, while the second phase will see the government receive free delivery of 42 million doses of approved vaccines currently available.
Pfizer and BioNTech have cautioned that two doses of the vaccine need to be taken 21 days apart to deliver the best protection. But several countries have said indicated they plan to delay the second dose in order to give more people at least one dose as soon as possible. Data from phase 3 trials of the shots showed that recipients gained partial protection from the virus as early as 12 days after the first dose.
Effective against Britain, South Africa strains
A preliminary study shows that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine works against the key mutation in coronavirus variants uncovered in Britain and South Africa, which studies have found to be more contagious than the original Covid-19 strain.
Tests carried out have shown that “antibodies from people who have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine effectively neutralise SARS-CoV-2 with a key mutation that is also found in two highly transmissible strains,” the German company said in a statement last Friday.

Replication strategy of single stranded RNA viruses: open questions and biomedical relevance
RNA viruses continue to challenge the human population. The recently appeared SARS-CoV-2 virus join the list of numerous noxious pathogens, such as Ebola, Hepatitis C, Zika, dengue fever virus, and of course the previously encountered coronaviruses SARS and MERS. Despite the grave danger constituted by these pathogens, there is a considerable lack of detailed knowledge of many viral mechanisms and efficient therapies not only for the new coronavirus but also for many other single stranded RNA viruses (as well as other infectious microbes). Our major aim is to understand how the positive single stranded (+)ssRNA viruses regulate replication of their genome while also providing mRNA for translation of viral proteins. It is well known that these processes require a complex interplay of several viral proteins, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and its associated partners, as well as the host cell framework, and its endoplasmatic reticulum. We investigate these protein – membrane interactions in reconstituted in vitro systems with a complex methodology of structural biology (solution studies and X-ray crystallography) and cell biology.
Structural modell of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (green cartoon) in complex with associated viral proteins (yellow, cyan, salmon cartoons). Figure was generated using our refined model of RdRp based on Gao et al, 2020 Science 10.1126/science.abb7498.
Physiological consequences and potential role of uracil substitution in genomes of model organisms
Conventionally, deoxyuridine incorporation into DNA is regarded to represent erroneous lesions, however chemical features of the uracil base does not show a remarkable difference from thymine except from a single methyl group at the 5th position of the pyrimidine ring. As the balance of the cellular nucleotide pool is deterministic in the quality of DNA synthesis, dUTPase catalyzing the hydrolysis of dUTP is a major player in the maintenance of this balance and uracil-free genome. Our research is focused on the genome metabolism of uracil substituted DNA in the framework of a new paradigm, suggesting that deoxyuridine lesions might assign unique fate for DNA in special cases. These cases are extensively studied recently by a set of research groups including ours. The special instances in which the presence of uracil was verified to have a unique role are the following:
- Immunoglobuline gene diversification
- Transcriptional regulation
- HIV life cycle
- and developmental biology
We focus on some of the above mentioned or other examples of uracil-DNA mediated cellular events. We employ this paradigm on model organisms such as mammalian or tumor-derived cell lines and Drosophila melanogaster. The physiological role of uracil substituted DNA is studied either genome scale by methods of molecular and cell biology. In Drosophila, complex developmental consequences are also examined in our lab.
Muha et al, 2012 PLoS Genetics
Interconnections of thymineless cell death with cellular signaling pathways
Almost all organisms employ a cluster of metabolic enzymes devoted for thymine biosynthesis in order to utilize thymine bases instead of uracil in their genome. The medical significance of this metabolic pathway is marked by the fact that nearly one-third of anti-cancer drugs used in clinics are targeted against thymidilate biosynthesis (such as fluoro-pyrimidines, anti folates) potentially inducing the so called thymine-less cell death. Personalized medicine aiming to minimize side effects and maximize the efficiency of chemotherapies requires prior knowledge about the characteristics of tumorous cells in order to predict the desired effect of a particular drug. Detailed mapping of protein networks participating or being affected by thymine-less cell death help us to estimate the receptivity of tumorous cells for drugs targeting thymidilate biosynthesis. We would like to contribute for this knowledge through our research that includes the characterization of thymine-less cell death. We especially aim to explore the involvement of dUTPase in the cellular process of thymine-less cell death.
Study of a molecular switch: Structural and molecular biological research on the Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island regulation
The bacterial genom frequently contains mobile genetic elements, which can replicate more or less independently from the bacterial chromosome. Some of these are phage related such as the pathogenicity islands (PIs), which have significant biomedical importance, since these are responsible for horizontal transfer of several toxins and virulence factors (for eg. the toxic shock syndrome).
Phage mediated mobilisation of some Staphylococcus aureus PIs are induced by formation of a repressor:derepressor complex of the Staphylococcal repressor protein (Stl) with a phage-related dUTPase. Studying the detailed mechanism of this interaction can provide much needed deep insight into bacterial gene expression regulation pathways, and potentially facilitates the design of new anti-bacterial compounds. In this project we investigate this system using various in vitro techniques ( native gel electrophoresis, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, steady-state and transient kinetics, VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography).
dNTP metabolism in genotoxic stress tolerance
Cells maintain a fine-tuned concentration balance in the pool of deoxyribonucleoside 5’-triphosphates (dNTPs). The perturbation of this balance results in "mutator" phenotypes characterized by increased mutation frequencies. Genotoxic stress acts upon the dNTP pool directly and also via the SOS response to DNA damage. Our model is Mycobacterium smegmatis that shares the DNA metabolic and repair pathways with the tuberculosis bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This intracellular pathogen is exposed to harsh genotoxic conditions by the host immune defense against them. It is therefore of major importance for these bacteria to develop strategies for the adaptation to genotoxic environmental conditions. We hope to understand how the changes in the dNTP pool possibly promote drug resistance as part of the adaptation to genotoxic stress.
Figure 1. dNTP metabolism in mycobacteria.
Red arrows indicate reactions catlyzed by specific enzymes while all other enzymes are non-specific for the nucleobase. In addititon to the four canonical dNTPs, dUTP, damaged dNTPs and the NTPs can also be incorporated into DNA to a lesser extent.
Design of novel molecular tools
Structural and mechanistic insights into antimalarial drug target CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) from Plasmodium falciparum
Despite the intensive antimalarial research, malaria is still one of the deadliest infectious diseases today. Among the causative agents, Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the vast majority of mortal outcomes. The recent challenges include the spread of multidrug resistant strains, urging the discovery of novel antimalarial targets. CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) catalyzes the rate-limiting step within de novo phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, a novel validated antimalarial drug target. We perform biochemical and structural characterization of CCT from Plasmodium falciparum to gain insights in mechanism of action and characterize parasite-specific functional elements. This study was published in FEBS J (PMID: 23578277)
We have identified key ligand interactions to the choline moiety provided by aromatic and negatively charged residues. This kind of ligand binding site architecture, termed as composite aromatic box is characteristic for the vast majority of enzymes performing catalysis using quaternary ammonium substrates or products. These enzymes play important role in essential biological processes such as neurotransmission and gene expression regulation. Thus the general feature of this discovery allows prediction of enzymatic function for cognate ligand binding sites and provides a framework for rational protein design. Our results may contribute to in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of an emerging class of antimalarials. The results were published in Angewandte Chemie (PMID: 25283789), leading international journal of the field.
Figure 1. Architecture of the investigated enzyme binding site corresponds to a general quaternary ammonium ligand site that is utilized by additional enzymes involved in key biological processes.
Currently we are investigating the mechanistic details of PfCCT membrane binding-induced regulation mechanism including conformational changes of segments and molecular effectors of enzyme activity modulation.

Sarny
I reviewed Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen earlier this year and was really impressed with i t. I think that dealing with such a subject as slavery in a way that is approachable for younger readers and truthful is a gruelling challenge for an author, yet Paulsen does so admirably well. (See the publisher's author page for more info on Paulsen and his many historical works.)
I got a copy of Sarny for myself to find out what happens after the events of Nightjohn. In the course of the story Sarny matures, becomes a mother, a widow, and then a heroine as she unshackles herself and pursues her children, who have been sold away from her. Her pursuit of her children with her friend and fellow ex-slave Lucy in tow to assist was gut wrenching for a mother to read; and the friendship she had with Lucy was a good counterbalance to the pathos of finding missing children. In the course of events, Sarny learns more about privilege and the reliance she can have on a community than one would normally expect from such inauspicious beginnings. There is a Forrest Gump quality about the way Sarny ends up in the midst of historical events; though gratefully the author does not push it so far as to lose credibility, and also fortunately Sarny is far too smart to settle for Gumplike platitudes in describing her fate. She does offer a few gems of wisdom:
"The brain don't forget," Sarny says in reflection upon her life; her characterization is completely unforgettable.
Again, I read the book rapidly - in two sittings, as the story is so compelling. The setting of New Orleans was a brilliant one, as such a cosmopolitan city provides excellent contrast to Sarny at the start of her time there. I would have enjoyed learning more about Sarny's benefactor Miss Laura, and thought that featuring such a character in the story was both a risky and rewarding choice. My understanding is that Paulsen created these composite characters to represent an amalgamation of persons who would have existed at the time, and that there actually was no such person as Sarny. However, understanding and empathizing with Sarny is a valid way of understanding the historical period and the terrible legacy of slavery for an individual such as she.

Principal Investigator: Ethan Enns
Co-Investigators: Avery Good and Ryan Petricig
THE TEACHER FACILITATOR:
Leslie Nesbitt Fuerst
THE EXPERIMENT:
Will cosmic radiation increase the rate of mutations in yeast’s DNA? Will an antioxidant from green tea decrease the rate of mutations in DNA?
Proposal Summary: We want to know if astronauts can decrease their risk of cancer by taking an antioxidant supplement. Therefore, the question to be addressed by the experiment is:
We are using yeast because originally we wanted to test human cells in space but we found out that they would die before they got into space. The cells would not survive for several reasons: there is not enough oxygen, there would be no way to eliminate waste, there would not be enough nutrients, and it would not be warm enough. We will be using yeast as a model for human cells because they are very similar and easy to work with.
We will be testing yeast in saline and yeast in saline with an antioxidant from green tea to see if the antioxidant will protect the yeast from the cosmic radiation experienced in microgravity. On Earth we will have a control consisting of the exact same experiment. This will show us if there is an increased rate of damage to the yeast’s cells from the radiation and if the antioxidant will decrease the damage to the cells.
We hypothesize that the radiation will increase the rate of mutations in yeast’s DNA in space compared to the mutation rate on Earth. We also hypothesize that the antioxidant from green tea will decrease the mutations to yeast’s DNA.

COHNAG > About Us
Community Health Nurses Association, Ghana (COHNAG) is the frontline mother association of Community Health Nurses in Ghana. In order to become a member of the noble association, there is the need for such individual to acquire a certificate in Community Nursing from any recognized Health Training Institution in Ghana. The prospective member would have to obtain at least two (2), three (3) and four (4) years training in and have written and pass the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) licensing examinations with a certificate, diploma or a degree in Community Nursing. However, the COHNAG is an amalgam of Community Health Nurses (CHNs), and Registered Community Nurses (RCNs).
The association started as a group in April, 1999 in Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana with support from DANIDA, Ghana. We had our first national delegates congress on April, 2000 in Accra at GRNA Secretariat/Hostel.
The group was founded by Ms. Fanny Enos and latter supported by Ms. Lydia Gyawu, Ms. Rebecca A. Atalia, Ms. Comfort Adjei, Ms. Gladys Amedzro, Ms. Natalia Kerinke, Ms. Rejoice Amegbe, Ms. Ayeshitu Mahama, and Ms. Mariama Hamidu.
Subsequently in 2013, the Community Health Nurses Group, Ghana (CHNG) was changed to Community Health Nurses Association, Ghana (COHNAG) following the registration at Registrar General Department and Ghana Labour Department. With Ms. Esther Frempomaa Bamfo as it first president and with initial membership of three thousand nine hundred and forty-two (3,942). Today, with a current membership of over sixteen
thousand seven hundred and seventy-four (16,774) and the COHNAG is
housed around CFC bus stop Achimota Ofankor road, Accra.
Community Health Nurses Association, Ghana (COHNAG) is a professional
association independent and non-partisan in nature. The COHNAG is the
exclusive mouthpiece for all Community Health Nurses in matters affecting
The COHNAG is made up of ten (10) National Executives Committee drawn

Kardashian Brother Gets In Car Accident on 101 Freeway in Los Angeles
admin May 13, 2016 Leave a comment
Rob Kardashian, the 29-year old star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, stock entrepreneur, and luxury car collector was startled when a vehicle struck his luxurious Bentley as he was merging onto the 101 freeway in Los Angeles.
At the time of the accident, Rob was traveling solo. Fortunately, he was able to leave the incident with no injuries. His Bentley, however, suffered from some damage. The Mirror Online captured video footage that showed the rear bumper of the Bentley caving in as a result of the accident.
Whether or not others were injured during the crash is currently unknown. Based on the $200K purple Lamborghini purchase Rob recently made for his fiancée, 27-year old hip-hop model, Blac Chyna, it’s clear that he won’t have any trouble paying for the damage. Blac’s $325K engagement ring from Rob further proves this point.
Blac and Rob, who started dating at the beginning of 2016 have plans to spend big bucks on their upcoming wedding. According to a source, Blac would like an extravagant exotic wedding with all of her family members present and the most lavish food and wine.
Although Rob’s family did not initially approve of Blac, they’ve finally managed to accept her. For much more information on Los Angeles 101 Freeway car accidents click on the link for a very valuable resource. Note that the 101 Freeway is also known as Ventura Freeway in the Los Angeles area. Although 101 runs all the way up the west coast most people in Los Angeles travel a very small portion of the highway.
One would imagine that Rob Kardashian was simply driving from one part of Los Angeles to another when he was struck while merging on to the Ventura (101) Freeway.

"They are more like a plantain, denser and not as sweet," said Mr Porter, "but they are displayed in bowls and used in cooking in the house. The Giant Frog Farms of the 1930s Were a Giant Failure. With no variety to take its place, the banana as we know it could be commercially defunct. But just as breeders were busy cultivating their Cavendishes, so too was Panama disease developing a new strain capable of killing them off. For decades the most-exported and therefore most important banana in the world was the Gros Michel, but in the 1950s it was practically wiped out by the fungus known as Panama disease or banana wilt. For years, the fruit was an unreliable product due to its short ripening period; storms at sea or delayed trains meant that these early banana salesmen would often open shipping crates full of rotten, unsellable fruit. My co-worker shocked and baffled me by reporting that, in 10 years or so, bananas will be extinct. "We have much more advanced technology now than we did when we lost the Gros Michel," Dr Kema said. The physical properties of the Gros Michel make it an excellent export produce; its thick peel makes it resilient to bruising during transport and the ⦠There are hundreds of edible banana varieties, but to standardise production, banana companies selected a single type to grow: the Gros Michel, a large, flavourful banana.

Perhaps most terrifyingly, this problem isn’t limited to bananas. Already, plantations in Asia, Africa and elsewhere have been wiped out by a new strain of Panama known as Tropical Race 4. In the United Kingdom, one in four pieces of fruit consumed is a banana and, on average, each Briton eats 10 kg of bananas per year; in the United States, that’s 12 kg, or up to 100 bananas. The banana is an edible fruit, which is technically a berry, and popular throughout the world Prior to that, people ate a cultivar known as Gros Michel. Gros Michel Bananas are NOT extinct. This is the story of how the Cavendish became the world's most important fruit - and why it and bananas as we know them could soon cease to exist. The wild banana is a giant jungle herb with a fruit that normally contains a mass of hard seeds that make it inedible. Meanwhile, oblivious to the global catastrophe their cousins are facing, Chatsworth's plants continue to produce between 30 and 100 bananas a year to be eaten by the Cavendish family and their guests. Bananas are thought to have been first domesticated in Southeast Asia, and their consumption is mentioned in early Greek, Latin, and Arab writings; Alexander the Great saw bananas on an expedition to India.Shortly after the discovery of America, bananas were taken from the Canary Islands to the New World, where they were first established in Hispaniola and soon spread to other ⦠The banana is among the worldâs oldest crops.

With strawberries out of season, one of the bakers created a banana cream-filled cake using the small shortbread pans. Our focus on growing food in homogeneous blocks of land, as if they were giant outdoor manufacturing plants, is a natural process with nature taken out of the equation. From 1800 to 1830, red bananas of Cuban origin were sold in the port cities of New York and Boston, but never with any regularity. Bananas are the most popular fruit in the world, but they could soon be killed off by a deadly fungus.

Banana growers turned to another breed that was immune to the fungus - the Cavendish, a smaller and by all accounts less tasty fruit but one capable of surviving global travel and, most importantly, able to grow in infected soils. As things stand, it is time to admit we don’t pay enough for bananas.

Review of ‘Estates: An intimate history’
The Coalition Government is proposing that council houses ‘for life’ are to be phased out, with new tenancies being of fixed term and tenants being encouraged to find accommodation in the private sector when they are financially able. No better time to review Estates: An Intimate History by Lynsey Hanley:
Council estates – very often large, indistinguishable blocks of housing found in inner cities and on the outskirts of towns – have become familiar features of the British landscape. The social problems encountered on many of these estates have meant that, rather than realising the anticipated Bevanite socialist dream, ‘council estate’ has become shorthand for ‘proletarian hell’.
In this part history, part personal memoir journalist Lynsey Hanley looks at the UK’s social housing from both inside and out. Hanley was born and raised on a Birmingham council estate and writes that this book is ‘an attempt to work out how much of the stubborn rigidity of the British class system is down to the fact that class is built into the physical landscape of the country’
Although ‘council housing’ is for many forever associated with unappealing tower blocks, subsidized rented homes were first built by philanthropists in the mid-nineteenth century. The first ‘council estate’ was the Boundary Estate in Bethnal Green which replaced the notorious Old Nichol slum. It was World War I which provided the impetus for the first large scale housing funding when Prime Minister David Lloyd George announcing that returning soldiers deserved ‘homes for heroes’. This initiate was also aimed to at sidestepping a feared Bolshevik revolution.
Further building took place after the Second World War as four million houses had been destroyed or damaged beyond repair whist the UK population had increased by one million. The acute housing shortage which followed engendered government targets of 300,000 new homes to be built each year during parts of the 1950 and 1960s.
Despite reports that the flat accommodation predominately provided proved unsuitable for families and communities alike, these homes were often erected quickly with previous high standards being disregarded. That the burden of the consequences of this myopia fell directly onto the disadvantaged is a theme to which Hanley returns again and again. Communities found it hard to establish themselves in the new estates, which were often placed outside towns with poor access to transport or amenities. Occupants felt unable to police the anonymous stairways and walkways on which they lived and these became havens for antisocial behaviour. The prosperity of many estates suffered as tenants were predominately employed in poorly paid jobs of the sort that have, with deindustrialization, become progressively more precarious.
In the 1980s Thatcherite reforms meant that those living in council houses were able to purchase their previously rented properties. Although popular, this has reduced the housing stock available for councils and by Hanley’s reckoning has further marginalizing those unable to step onto the housing ladder. Such is the continuing unmet demand for social housing that some councils have actually begun to buy back council homes.
Hanley’s anger that we have created ‘single class concentration camps’ is thus set out; the difficulties in escaping such confines are illustrated by her own experience. Poor schools situated on council estates have low expectations of their pupils and some of the worst exam results in the country. In addition there are less tangible barriers to social inclusion or, as Hanley describes (and borrowing a phrase from reunified Germany) a ‘wall in the head’.
Most social housing is now not actually owned by councils and much of what is now built are mixed developments of social and private housing. Hanley concludes by relating her own experience of purchasing a council home in East London and her subsequent attempt, as part of a committee of residents, to have the estate redeveloped into something more suitable. Her vision is proper housing for all, with social housing ‘less distinguishable from private housing in order to give those who rent a more equal chance in life to those who buy’.
Hanley’s answer to her own question is ‘yes’; council housing has made class segregation worse and whilst many people have a surfeit of choice in their lives, a minority have none. Although Estates often falls foul of making the similar point again and again, she has nevertheless succeeded in making the subject of social housing compelling.
Here’s an interesting paragraph from the book about mental health:
Although many people manage to hold themselves together and even thrive in the single class environment of a council estate, hidden damage is caused by many factors. First, there is the simple knowledge that you are surrounded by poor people – poor who have drawn the short straw in life and can see no obvious way of lengthening it. The fact that you are living in a place populated almost exclusively by the poor makes those who are less poor unlikely to enter the area unless they have to, further entrenching its isolation and the stigma of living there. That isolation in turn limits the aspiration of those poor people by presenting few clear alternatives to the lives being lived around them. If those lives seem mad and chaotic, that madness and chaos will spread to those who are the most susceptible. So it spirals down. The sense that you are fettered by circumstances beyond your control – lack of money, a house that you have not chosen to live in, noisy and antisocial neighbours – will, if left unchecked, inevitably lead to depression and general poor health. …. In American housing projects, the ‘ghetto miasma’ that is said to cast a pall over the lives of the (overwhelmingly black) poor lifts miraculously from anyone who is moved out of them to single family homes on the edge of the countryside.

Three Tiers of Vocabulary and Education
by Thaashida L. Hutton, M.S., CCC-SLP
Vocabulary consists of the words we understand when we hear or read them (receptive vocabulary ) and words we speak or write (expressive vocabulary ). We build vocabulary by picking up words that we read or hear and through direct instruction from teachers or other professionals. Knowing a variety of words is important for language development and reading comprehension. A limited vocabulary is usually a "red flag," indicating a possible language learning disability and reduced literacy skills.
Most children begin first grade with about 6,000 words of spoken vocabulary. They will learn 3,000 more words per year through third grade. However, not all words have equal importance in language instruction. So, how do we know which words we need to teach? We consider three types of vocabulary words—three tiers of vocabulary—for teaching and assessing word knowledge. A word's frequency of use, complexity, and meaning determines into which tier it will fall. Those with mature vocabularies and age-appropriate literacy skills understand and use words from all three tiers. This handout discusses the three tiers of vocabulary, Tier 1—Basic Vocabulary, Tier 2—High Frequency/Multiple Meaning, and Tier 3—Subject Related.
Tier 1—Basic Vocabulary
Tier one consists of the most basic words. These words rarely require direct instruction and typically do not have multiple meanings. Sight words, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and early reading words occur at this level. Examples of tier one words are: book, girl, sad, run, dog, and orange. There about 8,000 word families in English included in tier one.
Tier 2—High Frequency/Multiple Meaning Vocabulary
Tier two consists of high frequency words that occur across a variety of domains. That is, these words occur often in mature language situations such as adult conversations and literature, and therefore strongly influence speaking and reading. Following is a list of standards for tier two words:
Important for reading comprehension
Contain multiple meanings
Used across a variety of environments (generalization)
Characteristic of mature language users
Increased descriptive vocabulary (words that allow students to describe concepts in a detailed manner)
Tier two words are the most important words for direct instruction because they are good indicators of a student's progress through school. Examples of tier two words are: masterpiece, fortunate, industrious, measure, and benevolent. There are about 7,000 word families in English (or 700 per year) in tier two.
Tier 3—Low-Frequency, Context-Specific Vocabulary
Tier three consists of low-frequency words that occur in specific domains. Domains include subjects in school, hobbies, occupations, geographic regions, technology, weather, etc. We usually learn these words when a specific need arises, such as learning amino acid during a chemistry lesson. Examples of tier three words are: economics, isotope, asphalt, Revolutionary War, and crepe. The remaining 400,000 words in English fall in this tier.
It important to remember that tier two and three words are not all clear-cut in their tier classification. There is more than one way to select the words. Word knowledge is subject to personal experience.
Students with Limited Vocabulary
Students may struggle to increase vocabulary because of poor memory skills, difficulty using word learning strategies, or lack of instruction. This may be a result of a language and/or learning disability, or poor instruction. Under these situations, schools can administer a response to intervention program (RtI). RtI will then determine if the student requires additional instruction or special education services. Contact your school district to find out its current response to intervention program.

Ancient mosaic fragments in the sea, Atalanti, Greece.
The tide came in as we were sitting there and the water lapped over the mosaics. Photo: Helen Miles Mosaics
I know what I would have done if I had discovered the ancient mosaic fragments in the sea near Atalanti on the east coast of mainland Greece. I would have wrapped up my secret in tissue paper and put it in a shoe box under the bed. I would have hoarded the knowledge and pleasure of those fragments all to myself, worried for their safety, conscious of their fragility. But I didn’t discover them so they are not in my shoe box but here, on the internet, for all to see.

I came across the fragments through a Facebook post by Olga Goulandris , a mixed media mosaic artist living and working in Greece. In a comment thread she wrote that the mosaics fragments in the sea could be found off the main national road north of Athens heading towards Lamia. As it happens, I pass along that road quite often. With a car loaded with boys, weekend supplies and a scruffy dog, I routinely zoom past the turning en route to our little house in the mountains of Pelion. After seeing Olga’s post I often calculated whether I could test the patience of my fractious teenagers and go in search of the mosaics, but having hauled them around many of the major mosaic sites of Europe I knew that boys and mosaics are not necessarily a good mix and deferred.

However, when my friend, Angie, mentioned that she wanted to go to the ancient site of Delphi (the other town signposted at the Atalanti turning) my ears perked up. For one thing, Delphi has a wonderful early Christian floor mosaic that I had long been intending to return to and savour after glimpsing it years ago on a family trip with the boys, then much younger and even more recalcitrant. For another, Angie being Angie would want to join me in the hunt for these mosaic fragments in the sea. And so one bright, clear November day, music blaring, wheels screeching, we hit the open road.

I’ve written about the early Christian mosaic at Delphi in another post. Suffice to say, Angie being Angie wrangled special permission for us to duck under the barriers to see and photograph it up close. I’ll hold my horses on that one and only tell you that after a very happy morning communing with the mosaic and then going to the museum next door to admire the charioteer’s ankles, we headed off to Atalanti with little to guide us but a fixed intention and a steely determination.
Another fragment. Very little remains. Photo: Helen Miles Mosaics
Once we arrived in the unprepossessing town of Atalanti we made a few enquiries. A woman with a pram at the recycling bins directed us to the end of the main street and then left. A frocked priest with the prerequisite beard and twinkly eyes waved us straight ahead and over a bridge. On the coast, a man working at a kiosk selling chocolates and cigarettes knew of the mosaics and told us which road to take. It was the sort of road that almost goes out of it’s way not to call attention to itself. No signpost, no distinguishing features, a single lane running along a strip of coastline overlooking the North Evvian Gulf. Unusually for Greece, it’s not the kind of coastline you’d want to stop and admire, just a thin strip of dirty sand mixed with coarse stones and seaweed looking like something regurgitated from the bathroom plug hole.

We stopped again and asked a solitary woman holding a fishing rod with a cigarette stuck between her lips. She gave us more detailed directions but even so the mosaics were hard to find. We parked the car and walked along the shore but found nothing. Thinking the mosaic fragments must be submerged, I decided to go get my Wellington boots and wade out. And it was then, striking off on an illogical route back to the car, that I found them.

Information about the mosaic fragments is not easy to come by; about when they were made, why they are there and how they’ve manage to survive. All we have are the remains of some walls close by. If you Google them you wont find much except Olga’s post. Angie (being Angie) searched for me and found a reference by Thucydides referring to an earthquake in the region in 426BC and even though that’s too early for these mosaics it confirms what we already know and provides a reasonable hypothesis – that Greece is prone to earthquakes and that the mosaics could easily have been shifted at some point by seismic activity and then abandoned. At a very rough guess, I would say that they are late Roman/early Byzantine.

Atalanti has a little museum which might hold some answers but unfortunately Angie and I didnt have the time to go there and clearly it would be well worth visiting the Byzantine Museum of Phthiotis, Hypati, in Lamia which has quite a few mosaics salvaged from the region. There must be more information about these fragments out there somewhere but I failed to find it.

Notwithstanding their obscurity, it’s amazing how such humble things can evoke such strong feelings and generate such wide interest. There is something about ancient mosaic fragments which seems to elicit the abandoned puppy reaction in us all. When I got back to Athens I put a 24 second video on my Facebook page which has been liked more than 700 times, shared 2,600 times and viewed over 127,000 times. Given that some of the things I post only get ten likes, 700 is a lot. Many people commented on how wonderful these mosaic fragments in the sea are. Some said that the mosaics should be protected and a few even wondered if they could be fakes.

Yes, they are wonderful and in an ideal world they would be preserved and no, they are not fakes. The mosaics are not the finest examples of their kind. Looking at the mosaics above from the Byzantine Museum of Phthiotis you can see why those mosaics (assuming they are from the same area) were rescued and these, with their formulaic patterns, were not. Greece has dozens of world famous archeological sites to protect and probably thousands of minor ones and with limited resources available some things will inevitably get neglected.

The good news is that what’s left of the mosaic fragments in the sea seem remarkably sturdy. The mosaics feel as solidly embedded as if they were soldered into the rock beneath them. None of the tesserae or even smaller chunks of mosaic like the one above could possibly be removed by casual visitors. They have been there for a very long time indeed and I sincerely hope that they are likely to remain so. The fractured edges of the remaining pieces show that as much careful craftsmanship was put into creating the floor’s multi layered substrate as into making the mosaics themselves and the preparatory work has paid off.

The bad news, however, is that Olga photographed a large section of the mosaic (bottom right in the photograph below) which is no longer there and the black and white circle/star shaped section to it’s left which still remains is definitely larger in her photographs than in mine.

It would be nice to think that the sections was removed by experts and at the very least placed for safe keeping in a museum store room but I suspect that’s not what happened and we’ll never know where they were taken. In the grand scale of archeological looting it’s not a tragedy but it’s upsetting nonetheless. These fragments have survived for at least a thousand years, probably more, and they are vulnerable. Dont ask me where to find them because the secret, even if only part of it is left and I can’t claim it as my own, is safely stored under my bed.

Water District issues drinking water notice
Last Thursday, the Dedham-Westwood Water District released a drinking water notice revealing routine testing of the District's facilities had yielded an isolated positive E. coli result:
"We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants to ensure the safety of the water supply. On July 12, 2017, our water system learned that a raw (untreated) water sample collected on July 11, 2017 at the White Lodge Water Treatment Plant tested positive for E. coli, which is a fecal indicator. Fecal indicators are used to detect ground water sources that may be susceptible to fecal contamination which may contain harmful viruses or bacteria. Raw water samples from all five of the wells treated at the Plant tested clean, but a sample collected of combined raw water tested positive. The White Lodge Water Treatment Plant was turned off once we learned of the sample result, and is presently turned off.
"The water delivered to your taps through the distribution system is disinfected with chlorine to kill viruses and bacteria, including E. coli. It is important to note that the treated water from the Plant and treated samples collected in the distribution system did NOT detect any fecal contaminants.
"Even though none of the chlorinated samples tested positive, our chlorine disinfection system at the White Lodge Water Treatment Plant has not been certified by the MassDEP as 4-log compliant for 99.99% virus inactivation. In accordance with the federal Ground Water Rule (GWR) requirements, we are notifying you of the situation and conducting additional sampling to evaluate the extent of potential fecal contamination and will take further actions as necessary."

Hungary’s Pentecostal Faith Church overtly endorses Viktor Orbán
March 20, 2018 4:02 pm·
The Faith Church (Hit Gyülekezete), a Budapest-based Pentecostal mega-church, which is said to have a congregation of over 30,000, endorsed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán this past Sunday. Specifically, the congregation’s leader, Sándor Németh, warned his followers during the Sunday service that a vote for the opposition on 8 April is a vote for allowing into Hungary 10,000 Muslims a year. Taking his rhetoric up a notch, Mr. Németh suggested that a victory by the opposition parties and the subsequent arrival of scores of Muslims could lead to the demise of Christianity in Hungary.
Mr. Németh introduced party politics into his Sunday service while reading messages that had arrived to him–some of the senders were upset by his community’s close friendship with the Orbán government. Many of our readers will know, that prior to 2010, the Hit Gyülekezete was widely seen as being associated with liberal politicians and parties in Hungary, particularly the now defunct Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ). In the early nineties, Faith Church members actively campaigned for SZDSZ politicians, collecting nomination forms for the party ahead of elections. The weekly political magazine Hetek and ATV are both generally liberal media ventures affiliated with the Hit Gyülekezete.
It was the 444.hu website that reported on the overt endorsement of Fidesz by Mr. Németh at this past Sunday’s service. One critic expressed his displeasure with the fact that a large number of Faith Church members marched with the most hardline Fidesz supporters during the so-called Peace March (Békemenet) on 15 March. “What are you doing amongst the lowest of the fellow travellers of the national thief-dictator? You will suffer defeat alongside them and you too will have to flee the country when this happens…” Mr. Németh responded by pointing out that one must not vote for a party that will force people to flee the country after the election–though he did not specify which party or mainstream politician was actually advocating for this. (No party has ever said such a thing.) Moreover, Mr. Németh made no mention of Viktor Orbán’s threat against the opposition on 15 March.
Mr. Németh told his congregation that he “perused” the other candidates for prime minister and ultimately found that Mr. Orbán was the only one qualified for the job. According to his assessment, Ferenc Gyurcsány was already given a chance, Gergely Karácsony is still “untested” and inexperienced, while Gábor Vona is like “Odysseus lost at sea…”
Sándor Németh
The Faith Church leader is also not especially concerned by reports of systemic corruption in Fidesz, suggesting instead that these problems are “fixable.” In contrast, he is much more concerned about the possibility that gay marriage and the acceptance of refugees might both become the law of the land–and if this were to happen, there is no going back. Mr. Németh told his followers that the opposition parties would surely “capitulate” to Brussels on the issue of refugees and migrants.
Repeating Prime Minister Orbán’s main campaign message, Mr. Németh noted that the fate of Hungary was at stake.
The Amerikai Népszava is edited by László Bartus, who knows perhaps more about Mr. Németh and his church than any other journalist. Mr. Bartus argues that Mr. Németh has managed to become close to every political party when they were in power. He also warned that Mr. Németh appears to be suggesting that Hungary may, in the future, become the next Great Britain and could leave the European Union. This, of course, is highly unlikely any time soon, as a large majority of Hungarians are supportive of continued EU membership, including supporters of both Fidesz and Jobbik.

I feel strongly that is all B.S.and a scare tactic !
Hungary has been an atheist country for quite a while now.
That is a silly approach to oppose or support immigration to Hungary.
The first should be to determine if Hungary needs immigrants?
And second, if that would be needed, that can they afford to take care of them? That could be a hell of a long time before those immigrants pick up the language and can be self-supporting productive members of the society.
I’d think the answer to both , are NO.

Christopher, if you pay our Catholic Priest 10.000 Ft. he will consecrate what ever you want, also Horthy which he did. In Siofok they have Priest, they send Roma away by giving the poor people to eat. Thou Hit Gyülekezete looks very holy. Is thruth a Problem?
StrandedinSopron says:
I am not going to make a judgement on Mr Nemeth’s own personal faith, only God knows what is truly inside a man’s heart. And I do know from a very dear friend that he has helped numerous people in their time of torment.
There are two points however that I think contradict the teaching of Christ in the New Testament. First (from that same friend), I know that in a sermon in 2015, he stated that Muslims are first terrorists and secondly human beings. Secondly, the pursuit of mammon (which I suspect is what is guiding his present pro-regime stance). His church is not just a church but a TV station, magazine publisher and generally v profitable business. My friend left his church after a lot of internal mental anguish and I can see exactly where that came from.

Website » Riding the glory train
“I am outraged to find my name associated with this man.”
–Kennedy Grey, writer
Jeff Rense calls his website, Rense.com, “your first source for reality & honest journalism.”[1] He describes his radio show as “one of a kind”, and elaborates: “No ego, no arrogance, no shouting and ranting, the program is genuine journalism, intellect, reason, care and concern, and true inquiry.”[2]
Given that Rense is so keen on “honest journalism” and “true inquiry”, we decided to take a closer look at a profile piece about Rense that is reprinted on two of his web pages, “About the Program” and “About Jeff”,[2][3] both of which are linked from a prominent position on the Rense.com homepage.
Both of these promotional pages contain information about Rense, his website Rense.com, and his radio show. Each page includes the same reprint of an article entitled The Most Dangerous Man in Talk Radio, written by Kennedy Grey and first appearing in Whole Life Times magazine in September 1999. [Update 11 May 2012: The Kennedy Grey article has now been removed from the “About the Program” page, but can be accessed through Archive.org; see link [2] below.] [Update 01 June 2012: The Kennedy Grey article has now been removed from the “About Jeff” page, but can be accessed through Archive.org; see link [3] below.]
There’s no doubt the article is a complimentary one. It details Rense’s disillusionment with mainstream media’s “thinly-disguised press release ‘fluff’ journalism”, and describes how Rense “set out to re-invent himself into a liberator of truth from the confines of a corrupt and bloated news broadcast industry.”
Links to "About the Program" and "About Jeff" on Rense.com (click to enlarge)
We decided to contact Kennedy Grey to see if he recalled the article. Even though he wrote it over 12 years ago, he does indeed remember it–and the publication it appeared in. Whole Life Times, said Grey, was “a relatively obscure Malibu beach newspaper with low circulation and no real editorial fact/checking process.” And the article?
If it were WIRED* they would not have published it. When you get paid 25 bucks, you get one source and write a fluff piece.
(*WIRED is a magazine & online periodical that Grey has written for.)
So, The Most Dangerous Man in Talk Radio was a $25 puff piece with one source–Rense himself–written for a low circulation periodical. Well, you might say, what’s wrong with that? Media personalities like Rense have to avail themselves of every available promotional opportunity.
But that’s not all there is to the story.
Turns out, the article that appears on Rense’s website is not quite the same as the one Grey wrote back in 1999.
When Rense reprinted the puff piece on his own website, he couldn’t resist tweaking it to make it just a little more… puffy.
We asked Grey to look at the changes Rense had made to his article. He wasn’t pleased.
Journalism works because it does its best to provide the truth. To find this or any piece rewritten as a self-serving PR piece disrespects both me as a writer, and the realm of responsible journalism.
After closer evaluation of the information available about Jeff Rense, Grey had this to say:
I am outraged to find my name associated with this man. To have been duped by someone with the wanton and reckless desire to further his own reputation by engineering something I wrote is an indication of a deeply troubled individual.
Kennedy Grey was kind enough to send us a copy of the original article[4], and here we compare selections from it with Rense’s altered version.
Original text Altered text Comment
When Jeff Rense walked away from a #1 rated Oregon-based TV talk show, people suspected job burnout. When Jeff Rense walked away from a #1 rated Oregon TV news anchor position, people suspected job burnout. Seems that working for a #1 “TV talk show” doesn’t sound nearly as impressive as being a #1 “TV news anchor.”
Twelve years as an on-air news personality and production person “up and down the west coast”… Twelve years as on on-air news anchor and News Director “up and down the west coast”… Why be a “news personality and production person” when you can be a “news anchor and News Director”?
“I witnessed television news in the ’70s recede from film journalism to a video product.” “I witnessed television news in the 80s recede from journalism to ‘product’.” Is changing the decade meant to give the perception of youth?
Sightings runs the gamut from outright lunacy… to more down-to-earth topics like China’s oppression of Tibet and government whistle-blowing. His show content runs the gamut from outright lunacy… to more down to earth topics as government intrugue[sic], secret weapons, and cutting edge health issues. It would appear that “China’s oppression of Tibet and government whistle-blowing” isn’t nearly as sexy as “government intrugue[sic], secret weapons, and cutting edge health issues.”
Rense’s fears about media consolidation are easily validated. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allows any network or company to own TV stations reaching as many as 35% of the nation’s households (previously, the limit was 25%). In areas with fewer than 35,000 people, the local phone company can completely buy out the local cable company. The TC act also lifts national limits on radio station ownership–now one company can own up to eight stations in the market (AM or FM). [Not in altered version.] Why clutter up a perfectly good puff piece with all those relevant facts? Better to just delete the whole lot.
The TC Act also allows local phone companies to offer cable, and long-distance carriers to offer local phone service: cable can offer phone, or one can offer all three. With the expense of getting into new businesses like phone service or cable, these interests are more likely to merge than compete. [Not in altered version.] Ditto.
[Not in original version.] (The top trade magazine, Talkers, named Jeff to the top 100 talk show hosts in America in 2001…) Always room for a bit more puffery.
Rense’s <www.sightings.com> website is also quite popular, currently drawing over 4 million total hits per month. Rense’s world-renowned news service, www.rense.com, is currently drawing over ten million total hits per month. Why be a “quite popular” website when you can be a “world-renowned news service”? Might as well change “4 million hits” to “10 million” as well.

Putting himself in a better light, quite reasonable! You are makimg mountains out of mole hills.
Kennedy Grey says:
NJ: Though i will be the first to admit Whole Life Times is not the most cutting-edge of late-breaking journalism, all journalism is by its very nature based on the idea of balance. The imbalance began once the interview started: the story assigned was to cover the topics of his show, and ended up being re-routed into a press piece and glorious cover letter for the man himself during the interview. There simply was no answer about the topics covered in his show that didn’t immediately re-route to his own history in radio. When i realized that the show itself was not even on the radio (it was podcast I believe), i had little choice but to allow the focus of the story to became Rense himself given the interview and the time alloted to its completion. At the time I was uncomfortable handing in something that gratuitous, and few seemed to notice or care since he was really not available in the media without the (at the time) somewhat arcane knowledge of podcast access. So i will agree that there’s nothing wrong with it–as a press release written by a one-sided corporate shill– However, in its rewritten form, it is a mockery of balanced journalism and a sham that speaks to a personality type I can only classify as a blend of sociopathic and megalomaniacal. Such wanton disrespect for both the magazine, to me as a journalist and to the first amendment itself is reason enough to buy into this man’s growing infamy.
Eides +12 says:
“Riding the glory train” is too fitting as J Rense wants his own private choo-choo around his Neverland Ranch….given his father worked in the Military Industrial Complex I wonder what role that has in Jeff’s psychosis…it can’t just be spoiled brat syndrome (or could it), and his sad story about his mother having relations with other men within earshot of him is pathetic as so many of children grow-up with far worse horrors than that and yet don’t develop such a personality disorder…perhaps the combination of factors but I am now guessing.
Whatever his reason for having a “personal demon” I can’t sympathize with a man so full of himself. However, I am very pissed after years of listening to him talk about his poor ass needing a hand out — by the way, I bought some of the crap he personally promoted and sold on his site and it was a waste. Given that Jeff is so self-obsessed then I have high hopes he will read this…good! Or his stooge P. Drockton will read it and report back to him. Perhaps, “Dog Poet Transmitting” (pathetic) will write an overly long, flowery and too obviously self-aggrandizing piece about it…if I’m lucky he’ll do one of those “it’s a woman and you have to make love to it” pieces …sick stuff really.
So the puff piece didn’t contain enough puffery for the ‘world renowned’ newsman who, like Matt Drudge, simply copies and pastes stories written and published by others?
And what’s the stated purpose of Rense’s website and radio program??
Oh yes, to broadcast ‘the truth’.
OK then.

Mr. Rense has some ‘splainin to do it seems, but I wonder why he left out some of the most interesting facts and descriptions from the above article that Mr. Grey wrote? While Mr. Rense has a nice radio voice and obviously some talent to interview people, he must have had an overactive libido and questionable tactics in obtaining info. I think many women must believe the fact you’ve been married so many times is an indication you’re a great lover.
ctyfty says:
just more fraud from this liar who pushes masonic lies, even admitted masons like les visible,,,,and yet attacks Henry Makow for no reason.
I’m preparing my own site against this liar
I don’t know if Les Visible is a mason or not, but he’s definitely a lying, drug addicted sociopath.
proof at cassiopaea
You did take drugs when here, Les. Do you not recall brewing tea just prior to the chateau visit? Ask Susanne. It brought a side out of you I was not prepared for. Dissociating, Les?
Excerpted from an email, to Les Visible:
Apparently Les Visible is no longer allowed in the United States.
Based on what I’ve read I figure it’s due to some serious drug related offense. Probably has a drug related warrant out for his arrest. Who is Les Visible?
“Who is Les Visible?
Les was once an American and he doesn’t hide the fact that he was once arrested and detained for a few years in one of America’s fine Mental Institution. The institution was St. Elizabeth’s Hospital located in Washington D.C. In fact he was on the same wing as the late poet Ezra Loomis Pound. This is the wing reserved for the criminally insane.”
Nice of Rense to publish on his website the ramblings of a criminally insane degenerate.
Who is Les Visible link
More proof about the real Les Visible in the comments section here.
This appeared in the COMMENTS(!) section of “Reflections in a Petri Dish” on 9/5/12, “Maurice Chagrin on the Grassy Knoll in NYC.” ostensibly written by Les Visible as a response to some comments.
“I’ll point out that we have the capacity to pinpoint the location and identity of everyone who comments here and comments like yours are the sort of thing that can find themselves routed onward to those who take an interest in those kinds of statements. I’m not a snitch and I avoid that kind of thing at all costs but I cannot speak for everyone who works around here; word to the wise.”
“No, this is not a one man operation. I have help keeping the place up…”
This should raise anybody’s eyebrows; the first quote is an outright heavy handed, possibly government backed THREAT. The second is a repudiation of his previous claims that he is a one-man operation.
:Unquote
Les Visible’s threat can be read directly here: Reflections in a Petri Dish
More at: Lasha Darkmoon’s website, for anyone interested.
Lisa Guliani says:
As I suspected when I wrote this article, the Kennedy Grey fluff piece on Rense was based upon info from one source only: Rense himself.
Jeff Rense: A Reinvention of What?
by Lisa Guliani
http://www.wingtv.net/thorn2006/rense1.html
Rense subsequently threatened his former employer Patsy Smullin with a $500,000. lawsuit if she didn’t retract her statements made to me about him and in addition, add additional statements in praise of him as well, in order to make this lawsuit go away. He also threatened to sue me, but you can’t get blood out of a rock, so nothing came of that nonsense, even though his lawyer did contact me.
All it did was inspire another article exposing the coercion and intimidation tactics employed by Jeff Rense.
I’m happy that someone found Kennedy Grey and cleared this article up.
I tried to find him years ago, without success.
Thanks for sharing this very interesting information. Great stuff…:-)
Lisa Guliani
Come on. I never trusted this cat from the get-go. One look at this douche bag’s picture told me everything I needed to know about him the first time I saw it many moons ago.
Les Visible says:
Heh heh, you Ouija Board nutjobs are something else. I brewed tea before I came to visit? A lie …and extracted from hearsay and not even author attributed. Warrants out for my arrest? Ridiculous. Have any of you met me other than reading about me at the Ouija Board Wonderland? No. Diabolus (the Devil) taken from the Greek means, “slanderer”. I think that says it all. Jesus, most of you don’t even have names and one last thing; “proof is over at Cassiopeia.” Since when did opinion and conjecture and 2nd and 3rd party commentary become proof?

Builders Target Riches with Luxury Apartment Brands
Posted on November 23, 2019 by Korea Bizwire in Business, Construction & Real Estate, Industries with 0 Comments

SEOUL, Nov. 23 (Korea Bizwire) — Branding, among others, may be one of the key selling points for a product, and that’s why South Korean builders are in sync in launching luxury apartment brands, or renewing their brand identities for high-end consumers amid deepening polarization in the local housing market.
Lotte Engineering & Construction Co. last month introduced its premium residence brand LE-EL and decided to use the label on its reconstructed apartments in southern Seoul. The builder’s latest brand sits above its popular apartment brand Lotte Castle, which debuted in 1999.
Daelim Industrial Co., South Korea’s third-largest construction firm in terms of building capacity, earlier this month renewed the brand identity of ACRO, its luxury apartment brand that was introduced in 2013.
The new logo of ACRO doesn’t have an orange cloud, which it previously shared with the builder’s classic apartment brand E-Pyunhan Sesang.
“For the brand renewal, we’ve done research for about two years in areas ranging from interiors to gardening,” a Daelim Industrial spokesman said.
“We’ve analyzed big data on the lifestyles of wealthy people in South Korea and tried to meet their needs.”
Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., the country’s No. 2 builder, also jumped on the bandwagon last week by unveiling a TV ad for its luxury apartment brand, The H, for the first time since it was launched in 2015.

The builders’ recent moves to launch new brands or renew existing brands are aimed at refreshing their images to make their apartments more appealing to wealthy consumers.
“It’s been 20 years since the builders began naming their apartments with brand titles, and for some people, it’s about time they got bored with existing brands,” said Koh Sung-soo, a professor of real estate studies at Konkuk University in Seoul.
“In the past, living in a branded apartment was considered something prestigious, but nowadays, there are so many. It has been an important task for the builders to differentiate their apartment brands from others.”
Indeed, South Koreans do care about the brand when buying apartments, just like they do when purchasing cars or handbags.
According to a recent survey conducted by local real estate information provider Real Estate 114, 42.6 percent of people answered that brand is their first criterion when selecting an apartment, ahead of the size of the apartment complex (24.3 percent) and price (17.3 percent).
In last year’s survey, 92 percent of people said brand influences the price of an apartment.
“Apartments are such a big product, and it’s almost impossible for consumers to know all the information,” said Lee Bo-ra, a researcher at Korea Research Institute of Construction Policy.
“Like other goods, brand serves as a safeguard for apartment buyers. Living in such a branded residence also gives residents some kind of pride and feeling of self-satisfaction.”

Real estate experts said the rise of premium brand apartments is related with the polarization of the housing market.
According to data from KB Kookmin Bank, the median apartment price in Seoul was 875 million won (US$743,000) in October, while that in non-Seoul metropolitan areas was only 148 million won.
In wealthy districts in Seoul, such as Gangnam Ward, some apartments are now worth more than 100 million won per 3.3 square meters.
“Builders have to cope with the polarizing trend in the housing market, and one of their strategies is to target wealthy people,” said Ham Young-jin, who leads the big-data lab at the housing application Jikbang.
“Even if the economy is not doing well, luxury brands always have demand because there are high-end consumers. Like other luxury goods, people know that brand determines the value of a product, so that makes the builders come up with new luxury brands.”
Industry watchers said the builders’ recent brand strategy is also part of their efforts to win apartment redevelopment or refurbishing projects, especially in wealthy districts in Seoul.
“These days, it’s difficult for the builders to secure land to build apartments and that made them turn their eyes to reconstruction or refurbishing projects,” said Kwon Il, a researcher at local real estate information provider Real Estate Info.
“Against this backdrop, apartment brand matters to those who push the redevelopment projects, as well as future residents. In order to earn their selection, local builders have to make their brand more attractive.”
Experts said that luxury brand apartments will not make an immediate breakthrough in improving earnings for the builders, who have been also struggling to win overseas orders, but will eventually help them in the future.
“Builders first want to show and earn reputation that their apartments are worth to live in or buy, with new brands,” said Kwon Dae-jung, a professor of real estate studies at Myongji University in Seoul.
“They know sales and profits will grow after that process. It’s a long-term plan.”

Districts creation to feature in talk Can there be a meeting point ?
Tripartite talk between the State Government and the UNC under the aegis of the Central Government at New Delhi after January 26. Let UNC president Gaidon Kamei lead the UNC team and let the talk be held either at New Delhi or in one of the Naga dominated districts. Conditions laid down by the UNC for the proposed talk to fructify. With the Court ruling that Gaidon Kamei, who is presently serving a prison term, agreeing that he may lead the UNC team, all eyes will definitely be set on the proposed talk. The important question however is whether an agreement can be inked or arrived at during the proposed talk. The UNC has already made it clear that the creation of the seven new districts should be on the agenda of the dialogue and when this features in the talk, what will be the stand of the UNC and the State Government ? Interesting question this is, for will the UNC ask the State Government to roll back the district creation decision ? Or what other points vis-a-vis the creation of the seven new districts can the UNC discuss with the State Government ? How about the Centre ? Will it just facilitate the talk or will it take a proactive role ? Other than the district creation what other points may be discussed ? It is also important to question whether the proposed talk can bring an end to the ongoing economic blockade. Tough to find an answer to this, but ultimately this is what the people would want to hear. This is basically the reason why the people are eagerly awaiting the result of the proposed talk.
Given the issue at hand, it is difficult to even entertain the thought that a resolution may be worked out during or after the dialogue. This in all probability will mean that the State will go to polls in the shadow of the economic blockade, or will the blockade be relaxed in view of the upcoming Assembly election ? The answer is probably not, if one goes by what a leader of the UNC had to say to Firstpost, the report which The Sangai Express carried. “We do not prioritise the election, but we prioritise the issue of integrity of the ancestral land of the Nagas” is what the UNC leader reportedly told the Firstpost. A more than enough indication that there is no way the ongoing economic blockade may be relaxed in view of the coming Assembly election. If no resolution can be worked out during the proposed tripartite talk at New Delhi, then does this mean that the State will go to polls in the midst of the economic blockade ? Not a comfortable question, but certainly a question which must be raised and at the risk of repeating an earlier point, let it be clear that the longer the economic blockade is imposed, the more favourable the ground will be for the Congress and Chief Minister O Ibobi. A plain point which should not miss the consciousness of the UNC.

About KMS
History tells us his fate… now relive his journey
Submitted by KMS Admin on Thu, 02/03/2017 - 18:06
by Kevina Hayes
Some stories are so great, so epic in their impact and poignancy that they stretch through the annals of time. The case of Leo Frank is one such story. Was he a monster, capable of killing a child and deserving of his fate, or an innocent man who became the scapegoat for a society overflowing with resentment towards rich, Jewish factory owners, a public outcry over the exploitation of child workers and a ruthless, unmerciful media culture? This tragically captivating story is at the heart of the musical, “Parade”, Kilkenny Musical Society’s show choice for 2017.
This group of local performers, renowned for their insightful dramatic portrayals as evidenced by previous successes The Hired Man, Michael Collins: A Musical Drama, Sweeney Todd and most recently The Full Monty, take on this monumental show which is guaranteed to carry it’s audiences along on a wave of triumph, despair, hope and anger. Combined with an epic score, reminiscent of the haunting anthemic pieces of Michael Collins in 2014, Parade is a show that will leave an indelible print on those who experience it.
The stellar cast lined up to recreate one of the most infamous trials in American history is of equally epic proportions. Michael Hayes, former winner of the highly coveted Best Actor title at the AIMS national awards for his inspiring portrayal of ‘The Big Fella’ Michael Collins, takes the role of Leo Frank, the troubled protagonist at the epicenter of this compelling tale. History recalls his fate, but Michael reignites Leo’s journey from paragon to parasite of society.
Sarah Brennan, firmly established as one of the most talented performers of the Kilkenny Musical theatre scene, will play Lucille Frank, the steadfast wife of a man vilified by a society she was once at the heart of. Sarah’s stage legacy needs little introduction, having commanded the stages of Kilkenny in many pivotal roles such as Mrs Lovett in the society’s 2015 production of Sweeney Todd. Sarah & Michael are sure to prove a formidable pairing as they give us a window into the world of a couple facing the most tragic of futures.
Thomastown native, school girl Caoimhe Kelly, makes her debut with Kilkenny Musical Society, having most recently performed in the fantastic Watergate pantomime Cinderella. Caoimhe takes on the role of Mary Phagan – the young girl whose life is tragically cut short by a violent crime, which brings to the surface, simmering but potent tensions in the community of Atlanta Georgia. Other key characters weaving through this fascinating tapestry of history, tragedy, love and hate are seasoned performers Kevin Reade, playing the part of cut-throat Machiavellian lawyer Hugh Dorsey, eager to make a name for himself with this sensational trial.
Eoghan Fingleton, a Portlaoise native originally but having wowed Kilkenny audiences with his portrayal of Harry Boland in Michael Collins and last year as troubled soon-to-be-stripper Malcolm in the rip roaring success The Full Monty, returns to Parade as local Newspaper editor, Tom Watson who is the 'voice of the southern people'. With many striking resemblances to the cast of Michael Collins in 2014, other featured characters of note will be played by the expertise of Brendan Corcoran, Carlow native David Doyle, Rebecca Murphy and Kevina Hayes, last seen in the role of Cinderella in the highly successful 2017 Watergate pantomime.
At the helm of this highly anticipated performance is a production team of impressive credentials. Christine Scarry, renowned national theatre director & vocal coach returns once more following her triumphs with recent shows, Michael Collins, Sweeney Todd & The Full Monty. Curating the musical expertise of this group of talented performers is the internationally acclaimed David Hayes who is musical director and arranger for the RTE/Shinawill Production 'The Voice of Ireland'. David has also scored original orchestrations for many musical theatre pieces including 'Michael Collins - A musical drama', 'The All-Star Wars' and 'Ikeano'. David also worked as musical director for Riverdance for three years. The final member of the production team is choreographer Nicole McDonald who trained in the highly prestigious Laine theatre arts in London. Nicole has worked extensively as a professional dancer and choreographer throughout the UK & Ireland. Nicole will take the cast & chorus through their paces as they depict the force of a people enraged by tragedy but blinded by prejudice.
In the last number of years Kilkenny Musical Society has been both locally and critically acclaimed for its members’ ability to resonate with the stories they portray and carry their audiences along on a wave of musical and dramatic triumphs. From the heartache of Michael Collins & The Hired Man to the comedic genius of The Fully Monty, this group of local performers excel at what they do. This years production promises to be no different. Tickets are now on sale at the Watergate Box office and via the theatre’s website. Relive the journey of Leo Frank, witness his fate, but be your own decider of his legacy.

Tags: Colmore BID Victoria Square Colmore Estate Colmore Business District Church Street Waterloo Street The Grand Hotel Cofton Nursery Grand Hotel Barwick Street The Grand Hotel Birmingham Parklet
Parklets around the Colmore Business District
In these troubling times, the Colmore BID with Cofton Nursery have installed Parklets outside of various bars and restaurants, so that people can eat and drink outside, but sticking to the current restrictions. Households are not allowed to mix inside and there is the Rule of Six and the 10pm curfew to think about. They are on Colmore Row, Waterloo Street, Church Street and Barwick Street.
View feature View community
These Parklets were out and about around the Colmore BID from late August until at least early October 2020. I'm not sure if they are still there now, what with the weather getting colder. They were located on Colmore Row, Waterloo Street, Church Street and Barwick Street (that I found of them).
COLMORE ROW
Located on Colmore Row in front of the Grand Hotel and opposite Birmingham Cathedral. It was outside of the Liquor Store, Crockett & Jones and 200 Degrees Coffee. Seen on the 29th September 2020.
BARWICK STREET
To the back of the Grand Hotel on Barwick Street was this Parklet. It was on a car parking spot outside of Primitivo Bar & Eatery. Also close to Barclays Bank. You can approach it from Livery Street. Seen on the 9th October 2020.
This Parklet was located on Church Street outside of the Hotel du Vin & Bistro. It was opposite Urban Coffee and Home Cafe Deli. Seen on the 18th September 2020.
The first Parklet to be installed on Waterloo Street was close to Victoria Square and outside of Christchurch House near Purecraft Bar & Kitchen. Also opposite Adam's Restaurant. Seen on the 22nd August 2020.
The second Parklet on Waterloo Street was located outside of Theatrix at 130 Colmore Row, close to Victoria Square. Seen on the 29th September 2020.
There might be a sixth Parklet somewhere in the Colmore BID, but I've not seen or found it yet. So I apologise in advance.

Festival of Light at the Bullring, from St Martin's Square to Rotunda Square
There are five artworks that are lit up after dark from 5pm each evening from the 24th January to the 2nd February 2020 at the Bullring. For the second year running. This time coinciding with Chinese New Year. Talk to the Skies in St Martin's Square. Up St Martin's Walk With Love, Neon Angel Wings and Pulse. And in Rotunda Square is Birds that Fly Around with You.
Another Brumtography meet with Karl Newton and one other member of this Facebook group. It had been raining on and off in the afternoon, so wasn't many of us.
Talk to the Skies - St Martin's Square
Shortly after 5pm on Sunday 26th January 2020, a look at Talk to the Skies by ITHACA Studio. Red, blue and green colours go across the bulbs on the ground. While pink, blue or green on the tube where beams of blue light shoot out into the sky. Selfridges seen behind. Wasn't quite dark enough at this point.
The view from the balcony near Selfridges. This was by 5:50pm. On the right was With Love, the throbing red heart that plays music. More on that further down this post.
From the area behind Chaophraya Thai Restaurant looking to the left, as the beams of blue light shoots into the sky to the left of the spire of St Martin in the Bullring.
Back to the Selfridges balcony area, sometime after 6pm. The colours keep chaging down there, and the heart keeps beating.
The beams of light goes so high above the spire of St Martin in the Bullring. It is best to see from up here, although you can check it out from St Martin's Square.
With Love - St Martin's Walk
They didn't get the red heart inflated until about 5:30pm on the evening we went. Seen here from down Pulse on St Martin's Walk. With Neon Angel Wings below. It was designed by Franck Pelletier. You can hear a beating heart sound effect and they had music playing, which you could change if you pressed a button.
Tried to get some views of the With Love red heart with the statue of Horatio Nelson. Which has been at the Bullring since 1809 (sculpted by Sir Richard Westmacott), some 4 years after Nelson died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Meaning this statue is older than Nelson's Column in London!
There was also a view of the heat with Selfridges, which was lit up orange. I missed seeing it in red for Chinese New Year. I think they should have left the lights red all weekend and not turn it back to orange.
Where the heart is was where the Snow Dome was until the end of the Christmas season.
This view lining the heart up with the Talk to the Skies blue beams and the spire of St Martin in the Bullring. This was one of my Creative Effect photos (trying out different settings).
Neon Angel Wings - St Martin's Walk
Seen down the semi circle tube called Pulse is the Neon Angel Wings by Carla O'Brien. Visitors can pose for selfies with the pair of wings. From this side a bit difficult to get a clear shot without anyone in the way of them.
A bit further down Pulse towards Neon Angel Wings. The wings to the left was near the East Mall while the wings to the right was by the West Mall.
Managed to get a clear view of the wings from the back on St Martin's Walk, looking up towards the Rotunda.
A close up look at one of the set of wings with Pulse seen behind.
From the other side. I think the Bullring malls were closed by 6pm, although it seemed like they had closed earlier than that (due to Sunday trading laws). I'm not sure if the restaurants were still open by then.
Pulse - St Martin's Walk
This semi circle tube of lights is on St Martin's Walk and is by This is Loop. The lights have different patterns. The show lasts 5 minutes, and repeats every 20 minutes.
From the top of St Martin's Walk looking down to the spire of St Martin in the Bullring. A Chinese lady had a facemask on, although that's probably common with Chinese people in this country (and nothing to do with that virus outbreak).
Caught this cyclist heading through the tunnel down St Martin's Walk.
Added a star filter on my camera (which is in one of my cameras Creative effects).
One last look at Pulse, up towards Rotunda Square.
Birds that Fly Around with You - Rotunda Square
At first they were having problems turning the lights on for this Birds feature in Rotunda Square. As you can see it is loads of birds in a circle. By 5:25pm they still were unable to turn it on. It is by Masochism Shimada.
Got several photos up here, before heading down St Martin's Walk and checking out the other light displays at the Bullring.
Later we popped back up St Martin's Walk to check if they were able to turn it on. After 6pm they had managed to get it working. If someone walks around the centre, the lights on the birds follows them around in a anti clockwise direction.
This view of the birds with the Rotunda (I have still not been up).
One more view of the light on the birds going around in circles.
We spent well over an hour going up and down checking out the Festival of Light features. It was good but very cold. And worth seeing as I missed seeing the 2019 Festival of Light after dark (I only saw it in the daylight hours). So this made up for it.

Popped back on New Year's Day 2020, but they were closed. So returned several days after that and met the couple behind The BCAG. At Arena Birmingham.

The Birmingham Contemporary Art Gallery opened on the 5th December 2019, in the units above the Legoland Discovery Centre Birmingham, at Arena Birmingham. There are steps to the left to get up there. Or use the main steps from King Edwards Road and walk all the way around.
First spotted it on the 27th December 2019, on a photo walk around town with Karl Newton.
Found them on Twitter The BCAG and Instagram The BCAG. And they are now following / liking my photos. Thanks very much. They now have their own People with Passion page at The Birmingham Contemporary Art Gallery.
New Year's Day 2020 on the 1st January 2020, I decided to find where they were, and how to get to them. Got on from the Arena Birmingham steps near King Edwards Road. But you have to go around to the right, as no access to the left from there. Just headed all the way around until I found them.
Found these steps nearby, which would be easier for future visits.
Sign in the door. BCAG. But they were not open this day.

Tried again visiting on the 4th January 2020, and this was when I met them in person. Sarah Wallace & Albert Wallace. First off, a look around the gallery.
Metal figures, not sure what to make of them. Prefer the paintings on the walls though.
Art of the Bullring Bull.
Painting in a gold frame near the window. Another pair on the floor.
Metal vase on a glass topped table.
Was a lot of bright sunshine, leading to shadows that day.
More shadows over the paintings and figures.
BCAG sign near the entrance with pictures nearby.
White leather sofa in the corner. The Lego Giraffe outside looking in.
Lampshade with a curved arm. With bright sunshine outside. They have a nice view of the canal and Brindleyplace from here.
One last look at the gallery before I left.
Before I left, they wanted me to take a few photos of them. Near the Bullring Bull but a lot of shadows here.
More shadows and light, a bit better in this direction.
One more with the BCAG sign.
14th January 2020 and at the Birmingham We Are event. Jonathan Bostock introduces the Lord Mayor of Birmingham (for 2019-20) to the team behind The BCAG.
These artworks were at the Council House during the BWA annual event, I think they might be from BCAG (but am not sure). Near where Gloriana was. This painting reminds me of Gozer, the evil ghost from the end of the original Ghostbusters film.
These little trees in frames are definitely from The BCAG. And the other figures. Plus they had their card on the table to the left.
This one also near the Gloriana sign. Looks like a bald African girl.

Birmingham We Are at the Council House (14th January 2020)
The annual Birmingham We Are event was held at the Birmingham Council House in the presence of the Lord Mayor on Tuesday 14th January 2020. Once again in the Banqueting Suite and Drawing Room. Birmingham We Are People with Passion had their photos on display. And BWA's Elliott Brown and Daniel Sturley won awards! Thank you very much. Plus various Birmingham organisations were present.
Postponed from the 3rd December 2019 (due to the General Election) to the 14th January 2020. The annual Birmingham We Are event. A Celebration of a City with Community was held once again in the Banqueting Suite and Drawing Room.
At this end they were showing a slideshow presentation with our photos on Birmingham We Are.
Looking towards the Drawing Room. Packed at this point.

Quite busy at both ends. Lots of tables with various Birmingham organisations with art on display.
The likes of the Canal & River Trust and Birmingham Museums Trust were represented in the Drawing Room.

By this point, a few tables had been cleared, and many people had already left the Council House. At the far end of the Drawing Room was the gallery of photos by Birmingham's People with Passion (including my own).
One last look before leaving the Council House. Was a lot of standing around.

Collective wisdom re IVA application
russbost - 14/4/20 at 11:13 AM
Thought I'd bounce this one off you guys, see what the LCB collective comes up with!
I was approached a while back, due to my reputation as a maverick & non conformist by a guy who's putting a race car on the road & was asking me about the various IVA categories.
This is a Saker sports car, built around 2010, used as a race car; now he's modifying it for road use, so has changed seat belt mount positions, added handbrake, steering column u/j's, got lights at right positios, sorted a CAT & BET's emissions etc etc
He's an amateur so I suggested it should go in as an amateur build, but of course most of the car was already built by professionals (Saker), the other obvious alternative being class C as a professional build, same test, as it has to have CAT test due to engine age anyway. However, cat C says " built from parts from a vehicle already registered" which of course it isn't as it's a race car! That wording doesn't appear in the amateur build classification. So he thought perhaps it goes in as class R, which is anything not fitting the above categories.
At this point he (foolishly in my view!) got in touch with DVSA or VOSA or whatever they are calling themselves now, & emailed, not really expecting a reply, they did however reply to the effect that if it was over 10 years old then it doesn't require IVA, it can simply be registered with DVLC, now I'm quite sure that's wrong, (if it wasn't there'd be a lot more ex race cars on the road!) but anyway his car was 8 months younger than 10 years so doesn't apply (though of course it WILL be 10 years old later this year!). He then suggested to them that it would be class R, apparently to qualify for class R you have to provide all sorts of documentary proof regarding the build quality & standards it's been built to, which of course he doesn't have, at which point they've said that as it doesn't fit a category then he wouldn't be able to apply for a test!!!
This is why I never attempt to talk to authorities first, just present them with a fait accompli!
I still think it should go in as a class A - it is an amateur vehicle as he's not a professional builder - I know some of you guys have been challenged on the amateur built status if you don't have documentary proof/pics etc. showing the whole build process
Thoughts of the collective please? & yes, I know he ain't gonna get a test anytime soon, but just trying to get ducks in a line for when he can.
loggyboy - 14/4/20 at 11:20 AM
Iva doesnt need to know the history. They only care about the engine age. Id just stick it in as an amatuer build then when it came to reg stick it in for a Q plate which the dvla wont care about the history, thats half the point of the q system.
Ignore the saker and ex race history aa that just muddies the waters.
SPYDER - 14/4/20 at 12:22 PM
The 10 year rule does exist. My friend attempted to cite it whilst registering his "barn find" kit car which had stood since the mid 90's unregistered. The DVLA dug in their heels and said that the only proof they could accept that the car was in fact "complete" over ten years ago was an MOT cert. They were unable to point to any legislation to back this up though. My friend went through supposedly "independant" review followed by some sort of arbitration then contacted his MP and finally the Parliamentary Ombudsman. All sided with the DVLA. The car is now nearly ready for IVA.
If the car in question has an RAC logbook bearing the car's chassis number then I would say he could well be home and dry once the ten year rule is satisfied. He'll need to pass an MOT though.
If they've offered him this avenue he should take it.
I'm amazed there aren't more ex race cars getting registered too.
russbost - 14/4/20 at 12:43 PM
My understanding of the 10 year rule was that it applied only to vehicles previously registered elsewhere, or vehicles intended for road use that hadn't been registered for whatever reason, I've never heard of anyone getting a race car older than 10 years legitimately registered without going thro' IVA.
My/his concern re applying as amateur application is that IIRC there is a form you have to fill in stating what of the car you've built, stuff like steering, transmission, engine etc. to which all of his (truthful) answers would have to be no, tho', ridiculously if he takes parts off & then refits them he can genuinely claim to have built those areas!

... if he takes parts off & then refits them he can genuinely claim to have built those areas!
This is fairly standard advice to those buying a kit they haven't built themselves. Take it apart and do a "photo" rebuild.
Re. the ten year rule your understanding is broadly the same as mine. If the car has an RAC logbook they may look upon this as some form of "documented "registration.
My friend had build photos and a letter from the seller along with other admittedly "circumstantial" evidence to back up his claim. All were ignored. They were looking for documented proof which an RAC logbook may provide.
He'd be mad not to explore this avenue, especially if they are suggesting it.

I recently registered a 2005 Caterham that was a race car (previously unregistered) - I stripped and rebuilt the car with pictures - (rebuilt and modified to comply with the IVA). I then was able to submit as an amateur rebuild.
I hope this helps
swanny - 16/4/20 at 08:13 AM
how far do they expect you to strip the car back? i have a mate in a similar situation where taking it apart may be the only route.
mackei23b - 16/4/20 at 11:21 AM
Have a look at the IVA 4 form - self build declaration it says:
Please indicate which of the major components below have been fitted to the chassis/body by you or individuals acting on your behalf who are not in the business of building vehicles.
Though it does not give guidance on how many need to be ticked - For a Caterham the body is already part fitted - it's just the wings that you fit so you should be OK with most of the body panels still on the car

Hear a Previously Unreleased Version of Chris Cornell's "Only These Words"
It comes in honour of his daughter Toni Cornell's 16th birthday
Toni Cornell — the daughter of Soundgarden hero Chris Cornell — is celebrating her 16th birthday today. And in honour of the occasion, the late musician's estate has shared a previously unreleased version of his song "Only These Words."
The song originally appeared on 2015's Higher Truth, but you can now hear the original version of the track down below. It comes via a touching clip as well, showing a series of moving family images of the father and daughter together.
"Your dad would be so proud of the smart, strong, beautiful, and confident woman you are growing up to be. You are so very loved, and you give so much love, freely and unconditionally," Vicky Cornell wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.
"And to celebrate you with everyone — I'm sharing part of daddy's original version of 'Only These Words' Happy 16th Birthday, Toni!"
Check out the previously unreleased version of "Only These Words" below.
Toni, Your dad would be so proud of the smart, strong, beautiful, and confident woman you are growing up to be. You are so very loved, and you give so much love, freely and unconditionally. Your first sentence was "I love you" to your baby brother when you first met him. As your dad so perfectly sang and what it's always all about - "Only these three words repeating…I love you..." Continue to do great things, my sweet girl. He is always with you! And to celebrate you with everyone- I'm sharing part of daddy's original version of "Only These Words" Happy 16th Birthday, Toni! ❤️ Mama @vickycornell, @tonivasil, @cball.cnc

Acceptance of enrolment at Merredin College assumes an agreement between the College, parents/guardians and the enrolling student that the dress code will be followed.
The Department of Education Policy on School Dress Code allows schools to make the wearing of school uniform a requirement. It has been found that the wearing of a school uniform brings with it many benefits, such as the promotion of the school’s public image; an enhanced school spirit; a reduction in rivalry between students; an increase in convenience and cost saving for parents; and preparation for work environments which have dress and safety codes.
At Merredin College a Dress Code Policy has been established after much consultation with all stakeholders. The policy has been formulated to meet the needs of the students, their families and the school.
The P&C fully supports the policy and it has been endorsed by the Merredin College Board.
Dress Code Requirements
Any changes including additional items (e.g. special jackets) must be endorsed by Merredin College Board.
The following table outlines all acceptable School Uniform Items of clothing.

Footwear worn to Merredin College will be enclosed, lace up or velcro, sport or a dress shoe style in black, appropriate for curriculum participation. No skates, flats, sandals or canvas slip-on type shoes are to be worn to comply with occupational health and safety standards. Sneakers must be worn for physical education classes or school sport representation.
Physical Education Uniform
The Physical Educational uniform is compulsory for all Year 7-12 students. The wearing of any physical education uniforms to regular classes (e.g. Science), or to and from school is not permitted (unless by prior approval for special events such as carnivals). As an exception, primary students may choose to wear their allocated house/faction shirts to school on the days that they have Physical Education classes. Primary students are permitted to change into and out of their sport uniform if desired. All students are required to wear their faction/house shirts at Merredin College sports’ carnivals.
Hats must be worn during Physical Education classes. Primary students are to be encouraged to wear the navy surf style hat for better sun protection.
Physical Education uniforms are available from the P & C Uniform Shop and consist of the following:
House/Faction Shirts:
Polo Shirts in gold (Mitchell), cherry (Growden), jade (Kelly) and royal blue (Law). House/faction Shirts should be embroidered with the Merredin College crest.
Sports’ Shorts:
College sport shorts are plain navy, quick-dry polyester draw string shorts in either long or short length
Tracksuits:
The Merredin College tracksuit pants and/or jackets may be worn during the cooler months for Physical Education lessons or Sports’ carnivals and as a part of the regular school uniform. The top is a water repellent microfibre zip up jacket in dark navy with emerald inserts and piping. Pants are made of the same fabric with emerald piping down the outside leg.
Year 12 School Leavers' Jumper / Jacket
Each year, the School Leadership group may approach the Merredin College Board to gain approval for the purchase of a School Leavers’ jumper or jacket that may be worn by Year 12 students as part of their approved uniform. The design must incorporate the College colours of navy, aqua and gold and an embroided school crest should be included.
Other Special Jackets / Shirts
For camps (such as the Canberra Camp), other excursions and Country Week, students may elect to select and design a jacket to wear on camp. This must be presented to Merredin College Board for approval and should be in the College colour palette. Once the camp is over, the item must not be worn to school.
Formal School Representation
Students and School Councillors Representing Merredin College in an official capacity will wear their full school uniform, including a blazer and tie. The blazer shall be navy blue with the school crest embroidered on the pocket. The tie shall be navy blue with aqua and gold pin stripes. These items will be purchased as a school set by the College and will be loaned to students.
Each student is required to have a hat. For K-6 this is a navy surf style hat and for Year 7-12 a navy cap has been chosen by the students. Merredin College is embroidered on the hats — on the front for the K-6 students and at the back for the Year 7-12 students.
Scarves are permitted during cold weather but they must be the school uniform scarf available through the uniform shop.
Hairstyles and colours should be conservative. Make-up is discouraged.
For reasons pertaining to safety, dog chains, collars and wristbands with spikes and studs are discouraged. For safety reasons, long dangling earrings are not suitable for school wear. Earrings should be confined to small hoops or studs. At the discretion of staff, students may be asked to tape up earrings during sport, recess and lunch activities.
The school is bound by 104A of the Children and Community Services Act 2004 which relates to body piercing. Piercings of the nose, eyebrow, lip, chin, cheek or neck are not allowed. This includes implants and any piercings deemed inappropriate. A piercing that is not visible or is not considered a safety or health hazard will generally not concern the school unless the student draws attention to it. If it becomes a problem, the student will be required to remove the piercing. Failure to do this will result in disciplinary action. Having a body piercing is NOT a legitimate excuse for not participating in physical education activities at Merredin College.
Dress Code Management
Students who do not meet the College’s dress code on a given day are required to report to the Deputy Principal. Their names will be recorded and they will be issued with a Uniform pass. Students who attend classes without the correct uniform and without a uniform pass will be sent to Student Services and a consequence will be applied. Repeat offenders may be asked to change into a loaned uniform
Dress code infringements will be recorded and monitored. Non-compliance with the dress code will be taken into account when attendance at various extracurricular College social and sporting events is determined. Parents will be advised when infringements meet an unsatisfactory level.
Parents/carers who for financial reasons are unable to provide the correct school uniform for their child/ren are encouraged to contact Student Services.
Availabilty of Uniforms
All items of school uniform are available at reasonable costs through the Merredin College P & C Association’s Uniform Shop located in an office of the Administration Block. Uniforms are to be pre-ordered and payment must be by cash or cheque.
Where parents wish to purchase uniform items from other sources (bottoms only as they have no logo), they must conform to the style sold by the uniform shop.
Financial assistance is available to low-income families to enable them to meet dress code expectations. Families eligible for Health Care cards that complete the Secondary Assistance forms available may receive funding to assist in the purchase of school uniforms.
