GERMAN DESERTER'S WAR EXPERIENCE
NEW YORK: HUEBSCH, 1917
AFTER a short rest we were commanded to search the burning houses for wounded men. We did not find many of them, for most of the severely wounded soldiers who had not been able to seek safety unaided had been miserably burnt to death, and one could only judge by the buttons and weapons of the poor wretches for what "fatherland" they had suffered their terrible death by fire. With many it was even impossible to find out the nationality they belonged to; a little heap of ashes, a ruined house were all that was left of whole families, whole streets of families.
It was only the wine cellars, which were mostly of strong construction, that had generally withstood the flames. The piping hot wine in bottles and barrels, proved a welcome refreshment for the soldiers who were wet to their skins and stiff with cold. Even at the risk of their lives (for many of the cellars threatened to collapse) the soldiers would fetch out the wine and drink it greedily, however hot the wine might be.
And strangely enough, former scenes were repeated. After the hot wine had taken effect, after again feeling refreshed and physically well, that same brutality which had become our second nature in war showed itself again in the most shameful manner. Most of us behaved as if we had not taken part in the unheard-of events of the last hours, as if we did not see the horrible reminders of the awful slaughter, as if we had entirely forgotten the danger of extinction which we had so narrowly escaped. No effort was made to do honor to the dead though every one had been taught that duty by his mother from the earliest infancy; there was nothing left of that natural shyness which the average man feels in the presence of death. The pen refuses even to attempt a reproduction of the expressions used by officers and soldiers or a description of their actions, when they set about to establish the nationality or sex of the dead. Circumstances were stronger than we men, and I convinced myself again that it was only natural that all feelings of humanity should disappear after the daily routine of murdering and that only the instinct of self-preservation should survive in all its strength. The longer the war lasted the more murderous and bestial the men became.
Meanwhile the fight between our troops that had crossed the river and the French on the other side of the Meuse had reached its greatest fury. Our troops had suffered great losses; now our turn came. While we were crossing, the German artillery pounded the enemy's position with unheard-of violence. Scarcely had we landed and taken our places when our section proceeded to the assault. The artillery became silent, and running forward we tried to storm the slope leading to the enemy positions. We got as near as 200 yards when the French machine-guns came into action; we were driven back with considerable losses. Ten minutes later we attempted again to storm the positions, but had only to go back again exactly as before. Again we took up positions in our trenches, but all desire for fighting had left us; every one stared stupidly in front of him. Of course we were not allowed to lose courage, though the victims of our useless assaults were covering the field, and our dead mates were constantly before our eyes.
The artillery opened fire again; reinforcements arrived. Half an hour later we stormed for the third time over the bodies of our dead comrades. That time we went forward in rushes, and when we halted before the enemy's trench for the last time, some twenty yards away from it, our opponent withdrew his whole first line. The riddle of that sudden retreat we were able to solve some time later. It turned out that the main portions of the French army had retreated long ago; we had merely been engaged in rear-guard actions which, however, had proved very costly to us.
During the next hour the enemy evacuated all the heights of the Meuse. When we reached the ridge of those heights we were able to witness a horrifying sight with our naked eyes. The roads which the retreating enemy was using could be easily surveyed. In close marching formation the French were drawing off. The heaviest of our artillery (21-cm.) was pounding the retreating columns, and shell after shell fell among the French infantry and other troops. Hundreds of French soldiers were literally torn to pieces. One could see bodies and limbs being tossed in the air and being caught in the trees bordering the roads.
We sappers were ordered to rally and we were soon going after the fleeing enemy. It was our task to make again passable for our troops the roads which had been pounded and dug up by the shells; that was all the more difficult in the mid-day sun, as we had first to remove the dead and wounded. Two men would take a dead soldier by his head and feet and fling him in a ditch. Human corpses were here treated and used exactly as a board in bridge building. Severed arms and legs were flung through the air into the ditch in the same manner. How often since have I not thought of these and similar incidents, asking myself whether I thought those things improper or immoral at the time? Again and again I had to return a negative answer, and I am therefore fully convinced of how little the soldiers can be held responsible for the brutalities which all of them commit, to whatever nation they belong. They are no longer civilized human beings, they are simply bloodthirsty brutes, for otherwise they would be bad, very bad soldiers.
When, during the first months of the war a Social-Democratic member of parliament announced that he had resolved to take voluntary service in the army because he believed that in that manner he could further the cause of humanity on the battle-field, many a one began to laugh, and it was exactly our Socialist comrades in our company who made pointed remarks. For all of us were agreed that that representative of the people must either be very simple-minded or insincere.
The dead horses and shattered batteries had also to be removed. We were not strong enough to get the bodies of the horses out of the way so we procured some horse roaming about without a master, and fastened it to a dead one to whose leg we had attached a noose, and thus we cleared the carcass out of the road. The portions of human bodies hanging in the trees we left, however, undisturbed. For who was there to care about such "trifles"?
We searched the bottles and knapsacks of the dead for eatable and drinkable things, and enjoyed the things found with the heartiest appetite imaginable. Hunger and thirst are pitiless customers that cannot be turned away by fits of sentimentality.
Proceeding on our march we found the line of retreat of the enemy thickly strewn with discarded rifles, knapsacks, and other accouterments. French soldiers that had died of sunstroke were covering the roads in masses. Others had crawled into the fields to the left and right, where they were expecting help or death. But we could not assist them for we judged ourselves happy if we could keep our worn-out bodies from collapsing altogether. But even if we had wanted to help them we should not have been allowed to do so, for the order was "Forward!"
At that time I began to notice in many soldiers what I had never observed before---they felt envious. Many of my mates envied the dead soldiers and wished to be in their place in order to be at least through with all their misery. Yet all of us were afraid of dying---afraid of dying, be it noted, not of death. All of us often longed for death, but we were horrified at the slow dying lasting hours which is the rule on the battle-field, that process which makes the wounded, abandoned soldier die piecemeal. I have witnessed the death of hundreds of young men in their prime, but I know of none among them who died willingly. A young sapper of the name of Kellner, whose home was at Cologne, had his whole abdomen ripped open by a shell splinter so that his entrails were hanging to the ground. Maddened by pain he begged me to assure him that he would not have to die. Of course, I assured him that his wounds were by no means severe and that the doctor would be there immediately to help him. Though I was a layman who had never had the slightest acquaintance with the treatment of patients I was perfectly aware that the poor fellow could only live through a few hours of pain. But my words comforted him. He died ten minutes later.
We had to march on and on. The captain told us we had been ordered to press the fleeing enemy as hard as possible. He was answered by a disapproving murmur from the whole section. For long days and nights we had been on our legs, had murdered like savages, had had neither opportunity nor possibility to eat or rest, and now they asked us worn-out men to conduct an obstinate pursuit. The captain knew very well what we were feeling, and tried to pacify us with kind words.
The cavalry divisions had not been able to cross the Meuse for want of apparatus and bridges. For the present the pursuit had to be carried out by infantry and comparatively small bodies of artillery. Thus we had to press on in any case, at least until the cavalry and machine-gun sections had crossed the bridges that had remained intact farther down stream near Sédan. Round Sommepy the French rear-guard faced us again. When four batteries of our artillery went into action at that place our company and two companies of infantry with machine guns were told off to cover the artillery.
The artillery officers thought that the covering troops were insufficient, because aeroplanes had established the presence of large masses of hostile cavalry, an attack from whom was feared. But reinforcements could not be had as there was a lack of troops for the moment. So we had to take up positions as well as we could. We dug shallow trenches to the left and right of the battery in a nursery of fir trees which were about a yard high. The machine-guns were built in and got ready, and ammunition was made ready for use in large quantities. We had not yet finished our preparations when the shells of our artillery began to whizz above our heads and pound the ranks of our opponent. The fir nursery concealed us from the enemy, but a little wood, some 500 yards in front of us, effectively shut out our view.
We were now instructed in what we were to do in case of an attack by cavalry. An old white-haired major of the infantry had taken command. We sappers were distributed among the infantry, but those brave "gentlemen," our officers, had suddenly disappeared. Probably the defense of the fatherland is in their opinion only the duty of the common soldier. As those "gentlemen" are only there to command and as we had been placed under the orders of infantry officers for that undertaking, they had become superfluous and had taken French leave.
Our instructions were to keep quiet in case of an attack by cavalry, to take aim, and not allow ourselves to be seen. We were not to fire until a machine-gun, commanded by the major in person, went into action, and then we were to fire as rapidly as the rifle could be worked; we were not to forget to aim quietly, but quickly.
Our batteries fired with great violence, their aiming being regulated by a biplane, soaring high up in the air, by means of signals which were given by rockets whose signification experts only could understand.
One quarter of an hour followed the other, and we were almost convinced that we should be lucky enough that time to be spared going into action. Suddenly things became lively. One man nudged the other, and all eyes were turned to the edge of the little wood some five hundred yards in front of us. A vast mass of horsemen emerged from both sides of the little wood and, uniting in front of it, rushed towards us. That immense lump of living beings approached our line in a mad gallop. Glancing back involuntarily I observed that our artillery had completely ceased firing and that its crews were getting their carbines ready to defend their guns.
But quicker than I can relate it misfortune came thundering up. Without being quite aware of what I was doing I felt all over my body to find some place struck by a horse's hoof. The cavalry came nearer and nearer in their wild career. Already one could see the hoofs of the horses which scarcely touched the ground and seemed to fly over the few hundred yards of ground. We recognized the riders in their solid uniforms, we even thought we could notice the excited faces of the horsemen who were expecting a sudden hail of bullets to mow them down. Meanwhile they had approached to a distance of some 350 yards. The snorting of the horses was every moment becoming more distinct. No machine-gun firing was yet to be heard. Three hundred yards---250. My neighbor poked me in the ribs rather indelicately, saying, "Has the old mass murderer (I did not doubt for a moment that he meant the major) gone mad! It's all up with us, to be sure!" I paid no attention to his talk. Every nerve in my body was hammering away; convulsively I clung to my rifle, and awaited the calamity. Two hundred yards! Nothing as yet. Was the old chap blind or ----? One hundred and eighty yards! I felt a cold sweat running down my back and trembled as if my last hour had struck. One hundred and fifty! My neighbor pressed close to me. The situation became unbearable. One hundred and thirty---an infernal noise had started. Rrrrrrrr---An overwhelming hail of bullets met the attacking party and scarcely a bullet missed the lump of humanity and beasts.
The first ranks were struck down. Men and beasts formed a wall on which rolled the waves of succeeding horses, only to be smashed by that terrible hail of bullets. "Continue firing!" rang out the command which was not. needed. "More lively!" The murderous work was carried out more rapidly and with more crushing effect. Hundreds of volleys were sent straight into the heap of living beings struggling against death. Hundreds were laid low every second. Scarcely a hundred yards in front of us lay more than six hundred men and horses, on top of each other, beside each other, apart, in every imaginable position. What five minutes ago had been a picture of strength, proud horsemen, joyful youth, was now a bloody, shapeless, miserable lump of bleeding flesh.
And what about ourselves? We laughed about our heroic deed and cracked jokes. When danger was over we lost that anxious feeling which had taken possession of us. Was it fear? It is, of course, supposed that a German soldier knows no fear-at the most he fears God, but nothing else in the world---and yet it was fear, low vulgar fear that we feel just as much as the French, the English, or the Turks, and he who dares to contradict this and talk of bravery and the fearless courage of the warrior, has either never been in war, or is a vulgar liar and hypocrite.
Why were we joyful and why did we crack jokes? Because it was the others and not ourselves who had to lose their lives that time. Because it was a life and death struggle. It was either we or they. We had a right to be glad and chase all sentimentality to the devil. Were we not soldiers, mass murderers, barbarians?

WWOOF at Mt Mitchell, Victoria today.
by WWOOF Australia Team ~ Lynette & Traci | Feb 24, 2020 | News
By Lynette Vint
Meet WWOOF Australia Hosts Kate & Simon Tol, who have been WWOOF Hosts for the past 4 years.
Mount Mitchell has an impressive kitchen garden and an expansive orchard producing fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs that can be harvested and enjoyed by guests at their leisure.
In addition, the surrounding paddocks on the Mount Mitchell property comprise of premium grazing land, perfectly suited to farming quality stock including fat lambs and supreme beef production. Crops and quality pasture have resulted in quality grain, canola and hay.
It’s History
Mount Mitchell was designed by renowned architect Charles Webb. Known for commissions including the Windsor Hotel, John Knox Presbyterian Church, Melbourne Church of England Grammar School and the Royal Arcade in the centre of Melbourne, having an architect such as Webb was quite a coup for this country property in the early colonial times of Victoria.
Building commenced in 1860 and the homestead was completed late in 1861 where it remained in the Robertson family until around 1926. During this time substantial extensions were added to almost double the size of the homestead.
The Barrett family became the new owners around 1926 and set about extending the garden and planting the now imposing pine trees that line the driveway from the gate to the homestead itself.
Sadly, Mount Mitchell homestead fell into disrepair until the 1980’s when Richard Salter purchased the property and set about refurbishing the home to its original state. This classic Victorian historical gem was brought back to its former splendour and is now classified by the National Trust and Heritage Victoria has listed the property.
In 2015, Mount Mitchell is entering a new and exciting phase with the current owners, Kate and Simon Tol, who have opened up the property with stunning wedding venues throughout the grounds and buildings and as a country holiday accommodation venue here in the famed Pyrenees region
Catching up with Kate we asked a few questions:
How long have you been a WWOOF Australia Host and why did you choose to be part of this program?
4 Years. A friend with a similar farm suggested having WWOOFer’s
Is it a Family Business/Homestead?
It is a private property. Our family lives here at Mount Mitchell, where we run a farm and host occasional events.
What is the main Airport I fly into to visit you?
Melbourne. From there WWOOFer’s can catch an airport shuttle bus to Ballarat where I can collect them and bring them to the farm, which is approx 30 minutes further North West.
Describe your Lifestyle and why you chose to live like this.
We are not self sufficient, but we often produce our own food. Prime lamb and vegetables/herbs/fruit.
What would be a typical day for a WWOOFer?
WWOOFer’s meet me at the homestead at 8.30am, where we then decide what tasks they want to complete that day. We have a WWOOFer diary which lists a number of jobs, which then can be managed around weather conditions, personal interest and urgency. We can always find something that will engage.
WWOOFer work includes mowing, gardening, hedge trimming, sheep work, fencing, wood splitting, looking after farm animals & pets, machinery maintenance, painting, building & general farm and house maintenance.
Where do WWOOFers get to stay? WWOOFer’s are very spoilt here at MOUNT MITCHELL. They have their own 3 bedroom house, which is located a short distance from the homestead. During their stay they are mostly self sufficient, with the occasional meal together. We will shop for food approx once a week.
What is the weather like and what is the best time of the year to visit? We definitely have 4 seasons, but they are all beautiful. WWOOFers often travel after they stay here, so depending on what activities they are keen to do may determine time of the year. Most travel up the east coast of Australia, before returning home.
Is there any particular piece of clothing if any you would recommend be the number one item to bring with them? Just some work boots.
What will you teach WWOOFers during their stay with you? Lots of new skills related to gardening/farming etc. Initiative, efficiency, productivity.
What has been the best memory to date an experience you have had as a Host with WWOOFers? We hosted two young Austrian farmers that were workaholics, displaying amazing skills and initiative. They disassembled, relocated and erected a giant shed from 50 km away in 5 days. We have created many ongoing friendships.
Do you have any advice for Hosts or WWOOFers to help them make the most out of WWOOF? Work with your WWOOFer, as you’ll enjoy them as a person, guide them and achieve the quality of job you desire.
Would you recommend being a WWOOF Host and why? Yes, it is a WIN WIN! WWOOFA’s have an amazing and authentic Aussie experience and they are of great help.

Injuries fail to derail Storm
Melbourne are living proof of the adage that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Celebrating an NRL preliminary final berth after their 16-10 win over defending champions North Queensland at AAMI Park, captain Cameron Smith said it was all the more special given his team's horror injury run through the season.
The Storm lost superstar fullback Billy Slater (shoulder) for the season in round one while Test centre Will Chambers was out for almost three months with a fractured foot.
Along the way the Storm also had to bring in replacements for five-eighth Blake Green (calf), fullback Cameron Munster (ankle), bustling winger Marika Koroibete (ankle), prop Jordan McLean (ankle) and promising centre Curtis Scott (broken leg), who all suffered serious injuries.
"It was a battle and a challenge every week, particularly early on when we lost almost an entire starting backline," Smith said.
"After Billy (Slater) we lost Will (Chambers) for 11 weeks which is a huge chunk of time for your No.1 centre to be out of the game and then we lost a few big men through the middle part of the year.
"That was probably what put us in this position; the way we handled that, and I'm really proud of that."
The Storm have only one injury concern from the Cowboys match with workhorse Dale Finucane suffering an ankle injury.
The lock made 32 tackles despite going down with the injury five minutes into the second half and being unable to play out the game.
Coach Craig Bellamy hoped it wasn't anything serious but said it was hard to tell with Finucane.
"He's been wonderful for us this year and in that first half he was outstanding," Bellamy said.
"Sometimes with players like Dale you're not quite sure how bad their injury is because they're so tough and they don't want to come off but we think he should be right for the prelim."

More About Seoul
The World : Asia : Korea : Seoul
Overview and HistoryThe Seoul metropolis is the fifth largest city in the world with a population weighing in just over ten million people, however much that weighs.Its history can be traced back as far as half a million years, well into the Paleolithic Era. Korean history dates to at least 2333 BC, when the legendary King Tan-Gun established the first city. He came from the Heavens desiring his own territory where he could start a kingdom, and he made a wife from a Bear who devoutly aspired to becoming human.In all seriousness, legends of intelligent beings coming down from the skies and creating humans out of special animals -- these are really interesting stories considering the "missing link" in anthropological history. Which lies outside the scope of this treatise.By the first century BC, three kingdoms had arisen on the Korean peninsula, Koguryo, Paekche and Shilla. The Kingdom of Shilla united the peninsula in 668 AD and since then Korea has been ruled by a single government.Hold on, hold on. Between 1392 and 1910 there were only two Dynasties, the Koryo and the Choson. Both of them consolidated their power and flourished culturally, while successfully staving off Mongolian, Japanese and Manchurian invasions.Later in the 19th century Korea fell into heavy competition with China, Russia and Japan. It was annexed by Japan in the year 1910 and received colonial rule, ending the Choson Dynasty. Liberation occurred in 1945 at the end of WWII but was soon followed by internal division.At present, the Republic of Korea in the South has a democratic government while the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the North has a Communist regime in power.Getting ThereFlying into Seoul from another country lands you at one of two airports: the Seoul Gimpo International, or Incheon International Airport. Incheon boasts the distinction of having been selected as the world's best airport for the last four years! That is something to be proud of.There's a high speed train connecting the two airports and from Incheon you can take a bus, taxi, limousine or even water taxi from the airport to the city.Here's a view from under the bridge across the Cheonggye Stream. It runs through the center of Seoul. Take a look at this walking path and waterfall, and see how clean it is!TransportationTraffic congestion is such a problem in Seoul that words like "infestation" may be more apt to describe it. Public transport is a much better choice to actually get your body to a different location in any expedient manner.The system was designed around the idea of connecting bus lines to the subway system, take that as a hint...Subway is it! The subway has nine different lines in total and the trains come every three minutes, on average. Beat that!Commuter rail service uses seven lines to connect to regional cities, and these trains operate with a frequency of every twelve minutes in off-peak times! It's amazing!People and CultureKimchi: eat it, love it. For a quick introduction, kim chi is pickled cabbage or other vegetables. You make it with red pepper and salt rubbed into the raw vegetables and then ferment it all together in a big jar. If you're not from around here you will think it's really stinky at first, but it's one of those delicacies where the taste is totally different from the smell, and it's paradise for people who like spicy food. Not to mention that it's wicked good for you.Man, I wish I had some right now. Korean food is great, it has two basic categories. One is hot food with lots of red pepper, I mean the whole dish is bright red. The other type is cold stuff like glass noodles, cucumbers and greens. Very yin and yang, you might say.What else... Seoul is a very safe place to travel and visit. It's got a low crime rate and a very welcoming, friendly population. Even if people can not speak English very well, they will try to help you so bring some paper to write down your questions for things you may need.The architecture of the city combines modern high-rises with ancient temples and palaces, making for lots of both shopping and absorption of history.You may catch a street performance if you're lucky.Things to do, RecommendationsTo explore small cafes and restaurants in a cool district of Seoul, go to Samcheong-dong. The name means "Three Pure Things" and it refers to its mountains, water and people. There are many new wine bars and a feeling of secluded charm among the hanok, Korean-style homes.When you start to feel overwhelmed by the high-tech side of Seoul, head for the woods. You can enjoy walking around the lake in the Seoul Forest, ride bikes and visit the butterfly greenhouse.The sculpted topiary gardens of Yonsei University will also bring your eyes some welcome relief from flickering digital screens.Seoul has some really cool museums, small ones devoted specifically to Korean culture like the Seoul Museum of Chicken Arts. This is the first and only chicken museum in the world.As always, before you go home you need to visit the top of something WAY UP HIGH and take some pictures. Try the Seoul Tower, if it doesn't do the job then call up Icarus.Text by Steve Smith.

Christmas Carol, A Synopsis - Broadway musical
The good old fairy tale about the spirits of Christmas, which comes to Ebenezer Scrooge – miser, on behalf of which was even Scrooge McDuck named, as the personification of causeless, avaricious greed only for gaining money. The three first spirits of Christmas are shown in their human forms – igniter of road lights (while they still was working on gas or kerosene and had to be alight every evening, and to extinguished every morning) (a spirit of Past), a clicker in charity musical (represents the Present), blind woman-beggar (Future). The main characters of the musical – the family of an honest young man who works for the mentioned miser, so greedy that his office/home is terribly cold, almost like outside the street and all workers have to freeze out there, working in the street clothes.
Bob Cratchit – a worker of Scrooge, buys a chicken for Christmas with his son. The appearance of the spirit of Jacob Marley is depicted as a dozen of people that dance and play scenes from everyday life. One of the spirits shows old colleague of Scrooge, the same, if not more, meanie, which had safe with money instead of the heart. Needless to say that no one in the city likes Scrooge, which is evil and powerful, and beating the local poor with a stick every time he passes by him. The purpose of Scrooge – the accumulation of money and he spends ridiculously little, putting everything in the safe, even what could be spent on food.
The father of Ebenezer Scrooge owed a lot of money and as a result, he was sentenced to prison for debts, and he had to leave while his family was looking for him. This is a reference to the childhood of the writer Charles Dickens, his dad acted like that.
A Spirit of the Present shows us a very bright version of the charity show, which was held in the name of love and the fame of Christmas, when people have to share and to celebrate & to show sincerity. Spirits collectively depict to Scrooge that he lives improperly through the prism of joy and happiness in the homes of ordinary people, he sees his employees hate him because they cannot afford to buy even the most necessary things for them and their families, because he pays them badly. He sees scenes where people gain more in return when they give. As a result, by the end of the play, we see how this all changes the miser Scrooge. He becomes an openhearted, his face gains a smile, and he begins, though slowly, to be

'Boycott Adani!' say protesting Indian farmers

A revolt by hundreds of thousands of farmers has taken India by storm. The farmers are incensed at the deregulation of India’s agricultural sector, a move seen to benefit the food companies of the Adani Group at the expense of local producers. Tens of thousands of people from distant communities have travelled to the outskirts of Delhi in a mass movement that has rocked the Indian capital and brought traffic on major thoroughfares to a standstill. The organisers of the march, known locally as Dilli Chalo (Go to Delhi), have called for the government of Narendra Modi to repeal the new farming laws. With Modi digging in, a community boycott of the products of the Adani Group has kicked off.
The Modi government’s response to the mass movement has been heavy-handed, with protesters blasted by water cannons, smothered in tear gas or beaten by police. An image of an armoured paramilitary policeman about to strike an elderly farmer with his truncheon now emblemises the protest after going viral. Defending the farmers’ right to demonstrate peacefully, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked an international incident, with India withdrawing from a joint India-Canada event and then calling in Canada’s envoy for a carpeting.
Entry points into Delhi from some adjacent states have been barricaded, disrupting travel in the region. Further marches have been planned, with moves to block more major highways into Delhi.
Meanwhile, protesting farmers have accused the Modi government of doing the bidding of the Adani Group and other companies that would profit from the new farming laws. The Adani Group is developing businesses in the food industry that would benefit from the widespread deregulation of the agricultural sector. They have been accused of building new railway lines and siloes for the purposes of transporting and storing grain that, under the new laws, can be bought directly from farmers that have become vulnerable to the purchasing clout of big corporates. Farmers have protested outside at least one silo of the Adani Group.

Is Adani Green over-leveraged?
The Adani Group has responded by asking the Modi government to crack down with the ‘utmost severity’ on organisers of the twitterstorm directed against its businesses.
‘Various organisations with vested interests are targeting Indian business houses,’ said a letter from the Adani Group to the Modi Government seen by various media outlets. ‘Hashtags such as #FundFarmersNotCoal #AusVsInd were used to ignite tensions in the digital community.’
There’s no doubt that the Adani Group has been spooked by the vehemence of the criticisms against it. Farmers in the north-western city of Amritsar have burnt effigies of Gautam Adani, Narendra Modi and Mukesh Ambani, and protesters manning the barricades on the outskirts of Delhi have threatened to burn more. A boycott of the Group's retail products by such a massive demographic must be a huge concern. The hashtag #BoycottAmbaniAdani is generating heavy traffic.
In brief, farming communities are angry at the BJP government of Narendra Modi because:
They say the new laws leave farmers at the mercy of big corporates and pave the way for the end of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for agricultural products that has been enshrined in the system for decades.
They say that corporates such as Adani will have an upper hand in fixing prices and resolving disputes in the courts.
They that say small farmers will be left in the lurch as big corporates wouldn't want to deal with them, putting pressure on farmers to sell their properties and lose traditional livelihoods.
The farmers have the support of various small companies, middlemen and state governments that benefit from the regulations that will be overturned by the new farming laws.

Bayern comes back to sink Olympiacos
FC Bayern Munich used a huge fourth-quarter rally to beat visiting Olympiacos Piraeus 85-82 on Tuesday night at Audi Dome. Bayern ended its three-game losing streak and improved to 4-5, while Olympiacos dropped to 3-6. The Reds were in control and up by 12 points early in the fourth quarter, but Bayern put together a 27-8 charge to turn the game around and register another home win. Each Bayern starter finished in double figures in points with Maodo Lo stepping up late and finishing with 19 points and 7 assists, while Danilo Barthel also came up big in the fourth quarter and scored 18 points. Greg Monroe collected 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, while Vladimir Lucic and Paul Zipser had 13 points apiece. Wade Baldwin came off the bench to net 19 points for Olympiacos, Nikola Milutinov had 14 points, Georgios Printezis added 12 and Kostas Papanikolaou scored 10 in a losing effort.

Bayern took control early with a 17-2 run. The hosts forced 6 turnovers in less than 6 minutes, while Lo hit a three-pointer and Monroe started a fast break and then scored inside to open a 17-6 lead. Papanikolaou got the Reds going and a pair of baskets from Baldwin cut it to 19-16. Lucic hit a triple-plus-foul to make it 23-17 after 10 minutes before Brandon Paul and Taylor Rochestie each had a triple for Olympiacos to get within 28-25 early in the second. Monroe was a force inside for Bayern, but Rochestie continued fueling Olympiacos before Vassilis Spanoulis hit a three-pointer to help put the visitors up 39-40. A pair of shot-clock beating floaters from Printezis kept the visitors in front, 43-44 at halftime. He then scored in a low post again and Papanikolaou added a triple to make it 45-51 early in the third. Monroe scored inside, but Baldwin had a triple followed by a steal and a fastbreak dunk before a pair of inside baskets from Milutinov made it 50-61 late in the third. The visitors took a 55-63 advantage into the fourth quarter and Printezis helped extend it to 55-67. But Lo hit from downtown, followed by Lucic scoring twice inside. That's when Barthel caught fire, scoring once from long range and twice more from close range to put Bayern in front 72-71 with 3:30 to go. Then Lo took over, hitting back-to-back triples and dishing to Monroe for an easy to make it 82-75 with 46 seconds left that sealed the outcome.
Fifth time a charm
This was first-ever Bayern win against Olympiacos. In four previous head-to-head games, Olympiacos was 4-0.
Scoring spurt
Bayern scored 38 points in a span of 24 minutes from midway through the first quarter until the early stages of the fourth. Then, down 55-67, the teams started clicking and three-pointers from Maodo Lo and Danilo Barthel sparked the hosts, who went on a 27-8 charge and scored 30 points in less than 8 minutes to win this game.
Starters vs. bench
Olympiacos had a great contribution from its bench, which accounted for 40 points, however, it was the starting five of the hosts that came up biggest in this game. Bayern's starters combined to score 78 of their team's 85 points, with each player finishing with at least 13 points.

Another Printezis milestone
Five days after reaching 3,000 points for his career, Georgios Printezis became only the second man in competition history to make 1,000 two-pointers. Printezis reached this milestone in trademark style, with a shot-clock beating turnaround floater to make it 39-42 in the penultimate minute of the second quarter. The only player with more two-point shots than Printezis is FC Barcelona center Ante Tomic, who has 1,092 entering Round 9.
Round 10 takes place later this week and it will feature a pair of German-Greek clashes. Olympiacos will remain on German soil to face ALBA Berlin on Thursday, while Bayern stays at home and welcomes Panathinaikos Athens on Friday.

"Congrats to the players on a good game and win. Congrats to the fans; they gave us great support, especially in the last 10 minutes, which was very important to us. The beginning of the game was good, but in the second quarter, we made some mistakes on defense, bonus fouls gave them easy points, unsportsmanlike foul, bad defense, rebounds. In the third quarter, Olympiacos played quite good and controlled the situation, but we changed everything in the last quarter. It was excellent defensively and we made some tough shots on offense. We played smarter than before during the game and it was an important win in the end because of the problems we have with injuries, schedules, everything. I am really really satisfied tonight."
"First of all, it is a big win for us because of the problems we have with injuries. Olympiacos is a strong team with players with huge experience. They played much better, had a good advantage, but in the last quarter, we played quite good defensively. We were smart on offense and better than before. We made some important, tough shots. What was also important was the support of our fans, which was really good until the end of the game."
KEMZURA, KESTUTIS
"It was a tough and tight game that we lost in the end. Congrats to Bayern, especially on their performance in the last quarter. They made some big threes and we had problems matching the intensity in the end. Up to that point in the fourth, we fought hard. Then, we just lost control of the game."
BARTHEL, DANILO
"Somehow we found some energy in the fourth quarter. Maybe my three-pointer started things, but I am proud that we found a way, especially on defense, to stop the guys. That gave us confidence. Maodo hit some tough shots in the end, that was big-time. Against Panathinaikos, we can expect another tough game with a lot of intensity. It is an important week for us and a tough game coming up, but I think today we showed we are ready."
LO, MAODO
"We were behind going into the fourth, but we as a team knew if we stay within 8 to 10 points we will give ourselves an opportunity to win the game. Then we made a run in the fourth that obviously gave us momentum and motivation. My shots helped, but they came out of the overall atmosphere we had in the fourth quarter as a team. It is good that players in the starting five stepped up, but in other games, our bench is very good as well. I think that is one of the strengths we have, we are deep, we have some players injured who are going to come back. I think we are going to be good."
BALDWIN IV, WADE
"My team showed me what they believe, they gave me a second chance and I want to take advantage of it. We are a good team and I hope that there will be wins. Tonight we had control, but our opponent took big shots at the end of the game, mainly with Lo, and turned the game around."

Cuomo backs salt study
A new state law calls for studying the effects of road salt and developing guidelines for its use in winter. Photo by Mike Lynch
By Ry Rivard
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration will now study the damage road salt does to property and the environment, the first step in curbing a mounting threat to the Adirondack Park’s wilderness and people.
Late Wednesday night, the governor signed a law aimed at reining in the 300 million pounds of salt dumped each year in the Adirondack Park to clear roads for fast-moving vehicles.
Local lawmakers and environmental groups have been pushing the idea since last year. The law creates a task force and directs state transportation, public health and environmental officials all to help with a three-year study that will test new ways to manage roads in the winter. Whether the law will do what they hope remains to be seen.
Because of the the way salt is dumped and spread, much of it runs off into nearby streams, lakes and groundwater. Salt helps beat back snow and ice but its chemical properties also corrode metal and harm plants and animals. In a high enough dose, salt is dangerous to human health — it raises blood pressure and leads to heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease.
This year, an investigation by the Adirondack Explorer detailed how salt damaged property and contaminated drinking water, as well as how state officials have for years avoided responsibility for causing such damage.
The law creates a 14-member group to hold public hearings, investigate the damage already done by road salt and come up with new guidelines for highway departments, including the state Department of Transportation. The bill expects the task force to spend three years on the job, wrapping up its work by the end of 2024.
It also directs state highway officials to vary how much salt they apply and how often, and then environmental regulators to monitor nearby waters.
The bill would also require the group to recommend changes to how road workers clear roads each winter in the Adirondacks.

The legislation was unveiled last winter in Saranac Lake by Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Billy Jones and Assemblyman Dan Stec (who this fall was elected to replace the retiring Little in the Senate). Their push follows years of research by the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute about the damage salt does to the environmental and the groundwater supplies that many of New York’s rural residents drill private wells to drink. The bill was named in honor of the late Randy Preston, the former Wilmington town supervisor who argued against excess salt use in the region.
“The problem is identified,” said Dan Kelting, the head of the watershed institute who began researching road salt problems in the region over a decade ago. “Now we need to fix it.”
The Adirondack Council, which lobbied hard for the bill to pass and be signed by Cuomo, put out a statement on behalf of Kelting and others who had pushed for the bill.
“We should have safe roads and clean water,” the council’s executive director, Willie Janeway said. “Corrosive, salty water is bad for everything it touches: lakes, rivers, fish, roads, cars, bridges, driveways, pumps, plumbing, and people.”
Brittany Christenson of AdkAction has for years focused on the people with salty water who live downhill from state roads. She called that salt contamination a “costly crisis” for families that have to buy bottled water, drill new wells and replace expensive appliances — all without much help from the state that likely caused the damage.
One rough estimate, by the team of Virginia Tech researchers who helped uncover the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, found nearly a half-million New Yorkers drink from wells that could be contaminated by salt, though researchers admitted their guess was on the high end.
State legislators approved the salt bill this summer, but it didn’t reach the governor until Nov. 20.
The cause of the holdup remained unclear. The pandemic and economic fallout derailed one of the governor’s big environmental priorities this year, including a $3 billion “Mother Nature” bond to fund projects that would prepare parts of the state for climate change. Though the pandemic has kept him busy, he’s has also signed lesser bills, like one honoring veterans by renaming a stretch of state highway near the Town of Wappinger.
In the months of waiting for Cuomo to act, local environmental groups grew impatient and put out a series of press releases and statements urging the governor to sign the bill. Others, including Bill Owens, a former congressman from Plattsburgh who once thought about suing the state for the damage done by road salt, also joined in the chorus urging Cuomo to sign the bill.
Ultimately, though, the bill does not solve the problem, it merely requires an extensive study.
Before the governor signed the bill, some other environmental activists wondered if the study is the best approach to an issue with known solutions.
“Why do we need to study it when we know how to solve it?” said Eric Siy, the executive director of the Fund for Lake George. His group has paid to help local highway departments use less salt and better plows to keep roads safe without polluting the lake.

At least now the terrible cost of unbridled salt use on our roads is being recognized by politicians. We’ll see if it gets stuck…
Gregg says
Brine should be used instead of Rock salt. It cuts use of salt by 75% and is more effective at lower temperatures. It requires capital investment to implement, but lowers material cost. There is no need to “study” this for 3 years. Politicians want to kick the can down the road…
Why let the article end? I want to hear more on the Eric Siy’s push on fixing, not just cushioning another pocket of a ‘research’ firm. Tax money wasted. Cuomo ruining another thing he touches…
Eric Greiner Greiner says
The dot should not be dragged into court for cases of people not knowing how to drive responsely under icy conditions, could help moderate salt use.

How to Be the Most Attractive Woman In the Room
by Sabrina Alexis
It’s the stuff of countless romance films and perfume commercials: An insanely alluring woman walks into a room (almost comically slowly) and all eyes turn to her. The gentlemen present are so compelled by her charms that they immediately abandon their dates and rush to her side. Women want to be her and men want to be with her.
Now let’s get real. While we may idolize aloof Angelinas on the silver screen, in our everyday lives, it’s the friendly, girl-next-door Jennifers who we’re truly drawn to.
So what exactly are those seemingly intangible qualities that make a woman seem to light up a room? Obviously, we can’t deny that beauty is a major factor. But there are plenty of charismatic people that we’re inexplicably drawn to even though they’re not a 10 (or even a 6) in the looks department. Bill Clinton certainly springs to mind as does, say, Lady Gaga.
With that in mind, we wanted to find out what exactly charisma is and why we’re so captivated by the most charming person in the room. More importantly, is charisma something you’re simply born with or can you learn to exude charm?
The short answer: definitely yes and a little bit of no. That has to do with the definition of charisma itself, which is essentially defined as “a personal magic of leadership arousing special popular loyalty or enthusiasm for a public figure (as a political leader); a special magnetic charm or appeal <the charisma of a popular actor>,” according to Merriam Webster.
A 1988 study in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin cites an even more specific characterization of charisma: “Combining personality and social skill approaches, personal charisma has been defined as a dramatic flair involving the desire and ability to communicate emotions and thereby inspire others.”
RESEARCH: Your Personality Makes You Attractive
The same study attempted to understand the effects of nonverbal expressiveness (like facial expressions or gestures) on favorable first impressions. They found that it had a significant impact—above and beyond physical attractiveness—that may help to explain the unconscious influence and sway the charismatic seem to hold over us. In the study, male and female undergraduates were secretly videotaped as they met for the first time and made small talk.
Bottom line: Emotional expressiveness—the ability to communicate both verbally and physically—connoted success when it came to initial social interactions. In other words, charmers are good at picking up social cues and can quickly read and appropriately interact with others depending on the mood and situation. They’re also stellar at creating intimacy and tend to be extroverts, a trait that is associated with openness and higher self-esteem.
QUIZ: How’s Your Self-Esteem?
Incidentally, many in the study’s “charismatic” group were also physically attractive. One possibility is that those in the good-looking gene pool grow up being so positively received by others that as they mature, they also develop the kind of innate confidence associated with ensured social acceptance.
Plenty of studies show that good-looking people tend to be perceived as more likeable. (Hey, blame evolution.) But short of dressing in figure-flattering clothing and making cosmetic changes ranging from makeup to surgery, we have somewhat limited control over how people perceive our looks. So if that’s the case, how can we increase our allure?
Plenty of experts argue that charisma is an art form that can be taught. Ann Demarais, Ph.D., a psychologist who specializes in interpersonal communication and runs First Impressions, a personal coaching firm based in New York City, also contends that we can learn to be more socially successful in both business and personal relationships.
Her easy suggestion for instantly increasing your likeability factor? Smile like you’re in a beauty pageant and there’s Vaseline on your teeth. Countless studies have shown the connection between smiling and how others perceive you. Demarais points to a University of Alaska study that asked participants to speak in public while others silently observed them. One group of listeners was instructed to smile, while the others maintained neutral expressions. Not surprisingly, the speaker later reported liking the friendly faces much more.
The research also suggested that eye contact and body language can also go a long way when it comes to establishing a more intimate connection with someone. For example, participants tended to give more favorable evaluations to those that leaned slightly forward and maintained a “gaze.” Interestingly enough, while both sexes rated gazing and smiling more highly, men preferred women to lean in more than women wanted men to.
These charm tactics (smiling, eye contact and leaning) may play out well in the ultimate romantic first impression—speed dating.
One study found that women described as “agreeable” and men with a “promiscuous” orientation were better able to predict if their partner would want a second date, possibly because they were more flirtatious and attuned to their partners.
Another speed dating study helps explain the phenomenon of the most desirable person in the room—your interest peaks if a person is in high demand (think Justin Beiber and his gaggles of lovesick fans). “Like a domino effect,” subjects were more interested in people whom others were also intrigued by.

How can you become this person? Pretend others like you. An Adelphi University study on social interactions and likeability found that, for study subjects, believing others liked them—regardless of whether it was true—made others more likely to return the sentiment. Why? Those who believed others liked them projected more warmth and intimacy, so the people they spoke with did too, leading to a fulfilling conversation for both people.
Demarais says that in social situations, we tend to associate charisma and charm with people who are appreciative, are able to connect with others, offer a degree of enlightenment (they have something interesting to say) and can elevate the mood of those around them.
One surefire way to unleash your magnetism is to shift your focus to the person you’re talking to. That’s because we’re suckers for people who think we’re fascinating. “One of the most powerful ways to connect with someone is to show a lot of interest in what they have to say,” says Demarais. In fact, charismatic people have a way of intently listening,“almost like they’re hanging onto every word you say.”
Case in point: our old friend Bill Clinton. People who have met the politician frequently echo the sentiment that when he is speaking to you, he makes you feel like you’re the only person in the room. Hey, it works for him.

I am a ex 2 pack a day or more smoker. I have been smoke free for two mohnts, now. This is the longest I have gone in 22 years of smoking. Last record was 2 days. No more wheezing, have better lung capacity, taste and smell senses have improved dramatically. I now am in the process of weening myself off of E-Cigs and have been making great progress at it. It seems nicotine without all the chemicals is less addictive, at least in my case it is. This in my eyes is the greatest product I have ever purchased in my life. It has given me a new lease on it to boot. This product has changed my life forever.

About Amy Pfrimmer
Schedule and Reviews
Opera, Concert, Oratorio,
Recital and Master Classes
“…Soprano Amy Pfrimmer pitched the operatic equivalent of a perfect game…. Pfrimmer was a delight, picking off the string of high notes well. Her rousing cabaletta dazzled. Equally impressive was her gentler, pianissimo moments, which displayed delicate colors and rich emotion. As an actress, she stepped into the production well, finding a pleasing chemistry with her Alfredo.”
The Times-Picayune, New Orleans
by Theodore P. Mahne
"There can never be a doubt that Amy Pfrimmer feels what she is singing. The American soprano brings a deep well of fervour to the repertoire on ‘Eternal Life’, her recording with pianist Dreux Montegut...The music in Eternal Life ascends as the text moves to its hopeful culmination and Pfrimmer invests phrases with increasing intensity and vibrancy. Here, as elsewhere, she makes sure every word is clear, whatever the range or language, and her bright voice…sends the messages urgently into space.
Pfrimmer is at her expressive, clarion best in dramatic episodes, such as ‘Hear ye, Israel!’ (from Mendelssohn’s Elijah) and Gounod’s O Divine Redeemer. In a series of Spirituals arranged by Moses Hogan and Hall Johnson, she savours the moments of celebratory zeal and religious ecstasy in close communion with pianist Montegut. These songs require a fine balance between urgent storytelling and rhapsodic declamation. Pfrimmer delivers them with passion, lucidity and respect."
Gramophone by Donald Rosenberg
Known for her dramatic and vocal versatility, soprano Amy Pfrimmer has sung across the US, Europe, and Canada and is a 2019 Winner of the American Prize Chicago Oratorio Award. Notable engagements include appearances with the London Symphony Orchestra, Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Baltimore Choral Arts, Montréal Opera, New Orleans Opera, Bulgarian State Opera Stara Zagora, Illinois Symphony, Santa Barbara Symphony, Florida Grand Opera, Mississippi Opera, Atlanta Symphony, and Virginia Symphony. Favorite operatic roles include The Merry Widow, Violetta, Mimi and Musetta, Cio-Cio San, Nedda, Amahl’s Mother, and Rosalinda. Her concert repertoire ranges from Schönberg's Pierrot Lunaire, to Poulenc’s Gloria, Händel’s Messiah to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Notably, she collaborated frequently with the late pianist/composer Dave Brubeck in his Mass, To Hope! A Celebration, and La Fiesta de la Posada and soloed across the US with conductor Keith Brion’s New Sousa Band.
With the MSR Classics label, Pfrimmer has released three recordings: Souvenance: Mélodies and Organ Works of César Franck with pianist/organist Thomas Kientz, Eternal Life: Sacred Songs and Spirituals with pianist Dreux Montegut and The Lost Romantic: Songs of Louise Reichardt, also with Montegut.
Pfrimmer is an active recitalist presenting programs nationally and internationally, including Songs from the War Years: Music of World War I, Souvenance: Music of César Franck,Absolutely American, American Summer Dream, and Cabaret Soirée!, featuring American songbook composers. Pfrimmer has appeared in recital in the Bulgarian cities of Sofia, and Ruse, and soon Varna as well as in several French concert series: Vendredi Soirs at St. Pierre le Jeune and Les Estivales de St. Guillaume in Strasbourg, L’Abbaye de Royaumont, Cathédrale de Fréjus, Festival d’orgue de Colmar, as well as The American Cathedral and St. Eustache in Paris.
Awards for the soprano include the 2018 Tulane University Undergraduate Student Government’s John Stibbs Crest Award for Outstanding Faculty Member, a Louisiana Division of the Arts fellowship, a Metropolitan Opera Education Fund study grant, NATS Foundation’s Emerging Leaders Award, and Florida Grand Opera’s Gilbert Artist of the Year. Early in her career, Amy was a Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions national finalist.
An alumna of the distinguished young artist programs of the Florida Grand Opera, Virginia Opera and Chautauqua Opera, Pfrimmer received her Master of Music degree from Loyola University of New Orleans, and her Bachelor of Music from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Her teachers have included Martina Arroyo, Mary Henderson Buckley, Philip Frohnmayer, Sandra Kungle, Arthur Levy, and Patricia O’Neill.
In 2012, Tulane University appointed Pfrimmer as its Lillian Gerson Watsky Professor in voice. A dedicated teacher, she has served as Tulane’s voice area coordinator and concert vocal series director since 2007 and as director of opera workshop beginning in 2018. She is frequently sought after for her high energy, interactive university and young artist program master classes, and as a well respected contest adjudicator.
Pfrimmer makes frequent guest artist appearances and has conducted master classes at the Brevard Music Center, National CS Music Convention, Southern Region NATS Conference, Lawrence Opera Theatre where she was 2014 Artist in Residence/Donna Anna, and on university campuses, such as University of Colorado at Boulder, University of New Mexico, Oakland University in Michigan, University of Northern Iowa, Louisiana College, University of North Alabama, Mississippi College and completed residencies at the Brevard Music Center’s Janiec Opera, as well as Arkansas State University, Missouri State University, NOCCA and Mississippi School of the Arts.

Drug paraphernalia, burglary tools found in suspected bike thief’s car
Jason Auslander
jauslander@aspentimes.com
Suspected drug paraphernalia and burglary tools were found in the car of a 54-year-old man police believe might be responsible for a string of bike thefts in Snowmass Village this summer, according to court documents.
Police found a mirror, razor blades, plastic baggies, measuring spoons, copper mesh, a homemade pipe, “bottles of assorted meds” and Inositol powder in the 2013 Honda Civic belonging to David Bowman, according to a search-warrant return filed Monday in District Court in Aspen. Inositol powder can be used as a cutting agent for drugs.
In addition, police discovered a Stanley “Fatmax” cutting tool, 14-inch bolt cutters, a hacksaw and a bag of bike parts in the car, the documents state.
Snowmass Village police received 14 reports of stolen bicycles between July 15 and Saturday. A majority of the thefts have involved bikes that were stolen after locking devices to vehicles were cut, and several occurred in numbered parking lots along Carriage Way between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., according to a police report filed in court.
In an effort to combat the thefts, a Snowmass Village police officer staked out one of the lots early Saturday morning and saw Bowman approach a car parked in the lot at about 3:30 a.m. and appear to cut a lock securing a bike to it, according to court documents. The officer saw Bowman take the bike off a rack and ride it to a nearby lot, the documents state.
The officer gave chase and saw Bowman enter the Honda and drive away, according to the documents. He and another officer were able to stop the car in another parking lot, the documents state.
Bowman, a former Snowmass Village shuttle driver, was arrested and charged with possession of burglary tools, theft and criminal mischief. Bowman posted a $2,500 bond.
On Monday, Snowmass Village Police Chief Brian Olson said his officers have been able to connect Bowman to some of the other bike thefts. Six to eight of the reported 14 thefts have involved cut bike locks, while the others involved bikes that weren’t locked, Olson said.
Based on the officer’s observations, Bowman appears to have had a method of taking bikes that matches many of the thefts, Olson said.
“He was prepped and ready to go, and that shows someone who’s practiced and done it before,” Olson said. “I’d love to get some of these people their bikes back.”
Olson said officers continue to investigate the thefts.
As Pitkin County receives more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, the incident management team and AVH staff are ready to inoculate.

Have You Felt Like Giving Up Lately?
Finding Hope and Healing When You Feel Discouraged
Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne
Everyone experiences times of sadness, trials, and pain. But what happens when grief and depression seem so overwhelming that we feel like giving up? As the founder of World Challenge, Inc., David Wilkerson worked with troubled people of every type: students, parents, alcoholics, delinquents, businessmen, pastors, teachers, and drug addicts. In this hopeful and encouraging book, Wilkerson examines the universal problem of discouragement. He shows listeners how to let God heal their wounds, restore their faith, and give them genuine, lasting peace.
Essential listening!
By Ken Helledy on 26-02-20
Narrated by: Raymond Todd
Led by incredible faith, Wilkerson left his country pulpit in 1958 for the streets of New York City, where a murder trial of seven teenaged boys churned society's antipathy toward them. Even Wilkerson was bewildered by his sense of compassion, but in spite of doubt, he followed the Spirit's prompting to help the boys. This is the amazing story of his journey, and of the mighty power of God to accomplish the impossible.
Incredible. The wonderful power of the Holy Spirit

Tropical Cyclone Nathan
Tropical Cyclone Nathan began off the far North Queensland coast and traveled towards the coast before turning north then back to the east. Nathan then turned back towards the Queensland coast and developed into a category 4 Severe Tropical Cyclone as it crossed the coast north of cape flattery in the morning of March 20 2015.
Severe TC Nathan degraded to a category 1 Tropical Cyclone as it continued across Cape York Peninsular and into the Gulf of Carpentaria. Nathan then developed into a category 2 cyclone and moved towards the Northern Territory coast, crossing over the top north east corner of the state.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Nathan generated a Storm surge
The passage of tropical cyclone Nathan across the Queensland coast forced sea levels to surge above normal along the coast south of Cape Flattery where Nathan made land-fall.
The Storm-Tide gauge at Cooktown recorded a surge of 0.8m as Nathan passed north of the gauge site on the Cooktown Wharf. Nathan's passage coincided with low water so the Storm-tide level may have been higher if passage was at high water.

Artful launched
NewsroomFeaturesArtful Launch
"Launch is truly inspiring and a source of great pride to the thousands who have played a part in getting Artful to this stage”
Third Astute Class Submarine launched in barrow
Artful, the latest state-of-the-art submarine in the Astute class has been launched in to the dock at our site in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
The 97m long, 7,400 tonne nuclear-powered attack submarine began edging out of her giant construction hall on Friday 16 May and was carefully lowered into the water on Saturday 17 May.
Artful, the third of seven highly complex Astute class submarines being designed and built for the UK Royal Navy, will now begin the next phase of its test and commissioning process ahead of sea trials next year.
Stuart Godden, Astute Programme Director for BAE Systems, said: “The launch of Artful is another significant step forward in the Astute programme. Building on past experiences we’ve been able to launch her in the most advanced state of construction of any submarine to be built in Barrow. This allows us to now fully concentrate on the test and commissioning activities required to get her to sea."

PALERMO DAY TOURS
PALERMO WALKING TOURS
From Greek century to the Middle age
It looks as if it were built yesterday. Segesta's ancient Greek Temple can make a valid claim to being the best preserved in the world, and its amphitheatre boasts a hilltop position on Mount Barbaro second to none. The archeological site, about seventy kilometers southwest of Palermo, reflects the presence of several ancient civilizations, beginning with the elusive Elymians. While the magnificent Doric temple, though (strictly speaking) never completed - as the roof was never added and the pillars never fluted - is impressive, it is just the highlight of a large archeological park.
For its remote rural setting, Segesta in springtime is a magical place, nothing like Agrigento, which lies at the edge of a modern city. And what of the Elymians?
Truth be told, precious little is known of the Elymians (or Elymi), founders of the place initially called "Egesta." Originally from Asia Minor (possibly Anatolia), they arrived in Sicily to settle some of the island's western regions around 1200 BC (BCE), during more-or-less the same period that the Sicels, migrating from peninsular Italy, colonised the northeastern part of the island. Both coexisted with the indigenous Sicanians. During the Greek domination which began circa 600 BC most of the Elymians, including those of Egesta, Entella and other settlements, readily assimilated with Greek culture. Evidence suggests that the Elymians of Eryx, however, assimilated more with Punic (Carthaginian) culture.
This all seems rather arcane, but inscriptions in what is presumed to be the Elymian language, written in Phoenician and Greek characters, have been found at Segesta, along with pieces of pottery bearing script similar to that of a specific region of Asia Minor. The Greeks freely intermarried with the Elymians, but initially prohibited marriage with the Sicanians, who they considered barbarians.
Segesta emerged as one of the most important Siceliot (Sicilian-Greek) cities of antiquity. The Segestans themselves were a formidable force both economically and militarily. The hilltop site of the ancient city was inhabited into the Middle Ages, and boasts the crumbling ruins of a Norman castle, a small church and a mosque, along with a classical amphitheatre.
Built before 430 BC, the Doric temple is the focal point of Segesta. The temple is just over sixty meters long and twenty-six meters wide, built upon four steps, with a total of thirty-six Doric columns. There are fourteen columns on each side of the building and six columns across the front and back.
At a diameter of around sixty-two meters, the amphitheatre is not very large but still impressive. It offers a high vantage point from which to view the surrounding valleys.
A colorful theory is widely accepted which advances a reason for the temple's construction. In 450 BC, Segesta's rival, Selinunte, allied herself with Syracuse, one of the most powerful city-states of Magna Graecia. Segesta sought help outside Sicily, turning to Athens for aid. To the Athenians, Segesta was only a distant city of little importance. Before they would consider an alliance with Segesta they sent a delegation of diplomatic envoys to investigate the city's claims of wealth. In order to deceive the Athenians into thinking their city more prosperous than it actually was, the Segestans built the temple to impress their visitors. Once the envoys departed, convinced of Segesta's wealth, work on the Temple ceased. Yet its incompleteness cannot compromise its grandeur.
Though founded centuries earlier, the recorded history of Segesta begins around 500 BC. The Greek colony of Selinunte, just sixty kilometers south of Segesta, had dramatically grown and prospered since its founding around 650 BC. This alarmed the Segestans, who initially welcomed the Greeks but later viewed the rapidly expanding power of Selinunte as a serious threat. Likewise the Carthaginians, whose cities were spread from Mozia, near present-day Marsala, to Solunto, viewed the Greeks as a double-edged menace rapidly approaching them on two fronts - Himera on the northern coast and Selinunte on the southern one. Segesta allied itself with Carthage. However, with the great victory of the combined Greek armies over the Carthaginians at Himera in 480 BC, the Segestans quickly changed sides, becoming allies of Athens, one of the victorious Greek cities. (The Greeks often fought among themselves; the Greek colonies in Sicily were rarely united and had been founded by Greeks from various cities in Greece).
If medieval chronicles all but ignore Segesta, in ancient ones she is little more than a footnote to epic conflicts. Yet in places like Segesta, certain things seem to have changed little in many centuries. Paestum has grassy fields, Agrigento almond groves, and Segesta its grassy slopes.
What became of the Segestans? Nearby Calatafimi was essentially an Arab city of mosques and veiled women. Still, it is probable that the medieval Segestans abandoned their city for nearby towns such as Erice (Eryx). The ancient sculpture of Segesta leaves us with an idealized impression of a healthy, attractive people.

News Roundup: 10-1, Lawsuits, and Strange Fruit
The end of the year is a busy time
By the News Staff, 7:00AM, Mon. Dec. 8, 2014
In this week's roundup, Attorney General Greg Abbott leads the charge against President Obama, a PR firm faces a PR crisis of its own, Austin protesters #ShutItDown, City Council gets ready for its very last seven-member meeting, and more.
• A boutique public relations firm is out of a company name this Monday after an army of Twitter users informed (reminded?) owners Ali Slutsky and Mary Mickel that naming your agency after a poem about black people hanging from trees is not exactly a good look. Strange Fruit Public Relations, which noted in Jan. 2013 that it has "no affiliation" to the iconic Abel Meeropol poem and Billie Holiday song from the Thirties, endured a hailstorm of angry tweets Saturday evening, and eventually deleted the company’s Facebook and Twitter accounts Sunday morning, in addition to shutting down its website. Before doing so, partners Slutsky and Mickel issued the following multitweet apology: “We thought the term ‘strange fruit’ really could stand for someone who stood out in a crowd, a talent that was different and remarkable in a good way. Again we were wrong. This past behind the name does not convey the mission we have for our company, or our personal beliefs and we are taking the immediate and necessary steps to change our name.” Since 2012, Slutsky and Mickel have done work for such restaurants as Barley Swine, Odd Duck, and Jack Allen’s Kitchen.
• On Friday morning, after several months of delays, former APD Det. Charles "Trey" Kleinert was arraigned on a charge of manslaughter for the 2013 killing of Larry Jackson Jr. Kleinert shot Jackson, an unarmed black man, in the back of the neck after what he claims was a scuffle. A trial date has been set for April 20, 2014.
That evening, a rally calling for "Justice for Jackson" attracted over 300 people, many of whom may have learned about Jackson at another recent rally to protest the failure to indict the killer of Ferguson, Mo. teenager Mike Brown. Organized by the People's Task Force, the rally featured speeches by UT prof Snehal Shingavi, Jackson's sister LaKiza, and Rodney Reed supporter Lily Hughes, among others. Jackson's parents were also in attendance. The gathering at the Travis County Courthouse morphed into a march - most of the attendees traveled through Downtown, at one point shutting down the Congress Bridge. APD was on hand to escort the march, which remained peaceful throughout its journey, despite the large number of people involved.
• Equality Prep: In the event that U.S. Judge Orlando Garcia agrees to the recent wishes of Texas’ same-sex marriage suit plaintiffs and lifts the stay he placed on his February ruling in favor of marriage equality, county clerks around the state are more than ready to issue marriage licenses for gay and lesbian couples. That includes Republican Bexar County Clerk Gerhard C. “Gerry” Rickhoff, Democratic Dallas County Clerk John Warren, and Democratic Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir, according to the Texas Observer. DeBeauvoir is gearing up by setting the Travis County database to be able to switch “bride” and “groom” with “Person 1” and “Person 2.” “I’m hoping for this day,” DeBeauvoir told the Observer. “I’m very much looking forward to marriage equality.” (DeBeauvoir echoes her past support for LGBT marriage rights: After Orlando’s ruling, DeBeauvoir, describing the decision as “joyous,” said her office could not at the time issue licenses and would have to, “wait a little longer to actually deliver the justice and equal rights gay couples so deserve.”) However, not all counties are on board: Tarrant and Harris counties say they’re deferring to Texas law and the A.G.’s opinion. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to hear oral arguments for the case – filed by two couples, including Austinites Nicole Dimetman and Cleopatra De Leon – on Jan. 9.
• After making the rounds on conservative media outlets, Attorney General and Governor-elect Greg Abbott is leading the multistate effort to sue the Obama administration over its executive order on immigration, slated to prevent deportations for roughly 5 million people. "The President is abdicating his responsibility to faithfully enforce laws that were duly enacted by Congress and attempting to rewrite immigration laws, which he has no authority to do," said Abbott. Texas joins 16 other states, including Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana, in denouncing an order they claim is a defiance of federal law and a threat to the safety of their states. This marks Abbott’s 31st ideologically motivated suit against Obama and adds to the more than $2.6 million tab in taxpayer funds already spent to fight the president’s administration on everything from environmental regulation to the legality of Texas' voter ID law.
• In the second mayoral run-off poll sponsored by the Austin Monitor, Steve Adler retains a strong lead over Mike Martinez, at 56-39%. Martinez improved by four points from a similar poll in mid-November, and led among the poll's Democratic voters (57-38%). But Adler showed commanding leads among Republicans (89-7%) and Independents (62-28%). The phone survey was performed Dec. 2-3 by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, of 942 likely voters: 55% Democrats, 25% Republicans, 19% Independents.
• On Dec. 4, at a meeting of the City Council Committee on Austin Energy, Austin Energy presented an updated proposal for the Austin Resource 2025 Generation Plan. The intent of the proposal is to increase AE’s renewable energy goal in the from the current 35% to 55% by 2025. Within that goal, the plan includes retiring the Decker natural gas plant by 2018, and to begin a phase-out of the Fayette Power Plant in 2020. The current target of 200 megawatts of solar power would increase to 950 MW by 2025. The new AE plan does call for a new 500 MW natural gas plant, but it must fall within the city’s affordability and climate protection goals. Council Member Mike Martinez released a statement reading in part, "This historic agreement will not only make Austin a national clean energy leader, but will also protect our rate payers by maintaining affordability. Once again, Austin is paving the way for other cities to follow when it comes to clean energy.” At a mayoral environmental debate that night, Martinez questioned whether the natural gas plant will prove necessary, but in his statement he said that he would urge his Council colleagues to support the plan. The Sierra Club’s Cyrus Reed also praised the proposal, saying in part, “Sierra Club is pleased to have worked cooperatively with Austin Energy, City Council, and many others on crafting a plan that we believe would be among the most ambitious, environmentally and fiscally responsible generation plans in the nation. … We look forward to working with City Council on December 11 to maintain broad support for these goals and approve this groundbreaking plan.”
• The AE update to the 2025 Generation Plan is Item 10 on the Dec. 11 Council agenda (work session Dec. 9), which also happens to be the last regularly scheduled meeting of the current, seven-member Council. Among the other matters pending before the historic session (the agenda features 201 Items):
The return of the Decker Lake golf proposal, now contentious both for potential water use as well as alleged violation of the “no contact” rules with city staff concerning proposals under review.
The return of the Springdale Farm zoning case, for second and third readings.
The return for third reading of the ordinance that would prohibit “source-of-income” discrimination in housing rentals, aimed at making apartments more available renters with Section 8 vouchers.
A resolution to include transgender-inclusive health benefits for city employees in the 2015 budget.
A resolution to initiate the creation of an “Innovation Zone” in the northeast section of Downtown, in collaboration with Central Health (and the hospital district), and to begin to establish land use regulations for the zone.
A resolution for an ordinance to prohibit the use of cruel instruments on circus animals (e.g., “bullhooks” employed to train elephants).
A resolution supporting President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration.

BMW’s purchasing strategy gets more sustainable for EVs
By Marcus Williams2021-01-12T09:35:00+00:00
BMW Group is more closely aligning its purchasing activity with goals for greater sustainability as it plans for greater vehicle electrification.
The carmaker plans to have more than 7m electrified vehicles on the road by the end of this decade, with two thirds of them fully electric. That means greater sourcing of critical raw materials, such as those used in the batteries that drive them. Those batteries include lithium, cobalt and nickel. As well as the environmental impact of mining these materials, there are human rights issues associated with some of the areas in which they are mined.
BMW is sourcing cobalt and lithium directly from the mines and making it available to battery cell suppliers
According to BMW, since 2014 all of its direct suppliers have been contractually obliged to respect human rights, comply with expanded environmental and social standards, and to introduce management systems to promote occupational safety and protect the environment. The carmaker said these requirements must be passed on to subcontractors. Mercedes-Benz recently announced similar measures to ensure its battery supply chains are sustainable.
BMW Group Purchasing has also implemented measures to ensure cobalt extraction and processing take place in compliance with sustainability standards and to avoid problems with working conditions, such as child labour. The company is sourcing cobalt and lithium directly from the mines and making it available to battery cell suppliers, which has the added benefit of guaranteeing predictable pricing.
“We believe sustainability is an integral part of all purchasing activities,” said Andreas Wendt, head of the BMW’s purchasing and supplier network. “So, as we accommodate the planned growth in electrified vehicles in the supplier network, we are at the same time integrating our sustainability requirements into all contract awards.”
BMW said that its purchasing now focuses on three main areas: compliance with environmental and social standards, and respect for human rights, protection of natural resources, and the reduction of CO2 emissions in the supply chain.
BMW’s purchasing division is implementing measures beyond contractual obligations to make the sourcing process more transparent and ethical. It explained that a risk filter is used to evaluate potential supplier locations worldwide prior to tenders. Potential suppliers also need to outline their sustainability activities in a detailed questionnaire. External partners also work with internal appraisers to review selected locations.
“Compliance with the defined sustainability requirements is a prerequisite for awarding a contract,” said BMW in a statement. “Throughout the contract period, external partners work with internal appraisers to verify compliance with sustainability requirements through questionnaires and audits.”
At the same time as ensuring the sourcing of materials is more transparent the carmaker outlined how it was making efforts to limit their use. According to the company, it has reduced the amount of cobalt in the cathode material for the current fifth-generation battery cells to less than 10%, and increased the amount of secondary nickel to up to 50%. The e-drive used in the BMW iX no longer requires the use of rare earth minerals, it said.

Dragman: A Novel
by Steven ApplebySteven Appleby
Holt, Henry & Company, Inc.
6.40(w) x 9.30(h) x 1.20(d)
Steven Appleby is an acclaimed British artist who has created comic strips for The Guardian, The Times, and the New Musical Express, among numerous other periodicals. He has also created and written a comedy series for BBC Radio 4; a highly successful animated television series, Captain Star; and regularly exhibits paintings and drawings. He lives in London.
Dragman - Trailer
In Appleby’s offbeat fantasy, August Crimp is keeping a lot of secrets from his wife: since his teen years he’s been dressing in women’s clothes; when wearing them he has the ability to fly; and he used to be the superhero Dragman. This all takes place in a world in which superheroes only save those folks with the proper insurance coverage and human souls can be removed from the body and then bought, sold, or stored on tiny disks. An unknown murderer is targeting trans women, stealing their souls and dumping their bodies. (Notably, the violence of these scenes are retold in prose, reducing their sensationalism.) August, who thought he’d put his crime-fighting days behind him, gets dragged back by his old sidekick, Dog Girl, and Cherry, a girl he saved. The complex plot plays out with spirited color scenes of present-day action mixed with multiple flashbacks, shown in monochrome, including a few excerpts of news clippings and “officially licensed” comics about the exploits of their superhero milieu, with Appleby’s loose, light comics reminiscent of Roz Chast and Quentin Blake. Despite its many twists and turns, the graphic novel’s emotional heart lays with August’s struggle to accept his own identity and its full power. Gender fluidity in this jaunty superhero story is trumpeted not only as a gift and a source of strength, but as something that might just save the world. (Apr.)
"Fans of Steven Appleby's brilliant cartoons know already of their unique energy; his first long-form graphic novel will surely bring him massed armies of new admirers. Funny, sweet, and emotionally true, it doesn't so much tiptoe on to fraught cultural territory as dance wildly across it." —The Guardian
"An intricately plotted graphic novel, complete with a serial-killer mystery (trans women are being murdered in gruesome circumstances), plenty of social satire, philosophical ruminations and elements of autobiography. . . . Dragman is the fable we need for a changing world." —Times Literary Supplement
“An intricately plotted epic starring a huge cast of memorable characters and a tender, illuminating meditation on identity. Imaginative and uncommonly moving.” —Library Journal (starred review)
"Fabulous! Only Steven Appleby could or would lob in such a profound statement of elevating empowerment and celebration disguised as a superhero sub-plot. . . . . This is an astutely insightful comedy [with] the nimblest and most nubbly of lines." —Page 45
★ 04/01/2020
Augustus Crimp is keeping three secrets from his wife: that he's only ever really comfortable while wearing women's clothing, that when he's dressed as a woman he can fly, and finally that he briefly served as a superhero dubbed Dragman by the media before quitting after finding the superhero community less than welcoming. When a serial killer begins preying upon trans women, Augustus is forced back into action. British cartoonist Appleby (The Coffee Table Book of Doom) imagines a world where a mysterious corporation offers people cash in exchange for their souls—leaving them dull and amoral—and superheroes only bother saving those who can afford to pay for their services. It's all very offbeat and might sound merely quirky reduced to a brief summary, but Appleby's first graphic novel is, in fact, an intricately plotted epic starring a huge cast of memorable characters and, most important, a tender, illuminating meditation on identity, as Augustus struggles for acceptance, and to accept himself. VERDICT Imaginative and uncommonly moving, with extra poignance provided via an afterword by the author detailing his personal connection to the text. [See Prepub Alert, 10/14/19.]

(Screenshot/MDHHS website)\nLANSING — This week the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) confirmed the launch of a statewide text outreach aimed at increasing residents’ awareness of the state’s new exposure notification mobile app, MI COVID Alert.\nThe text messages, which began this month, make it simple to connect to and download MI COVID Alert. Each text includes information about the app and a link to the landing page on the state of Michigan coronavirus website with more information about how it works, details about how MI COVID Alert keeps user information anonymous, and links to Apple and Google app stores.\n“We want Michiganders to know this is a legitimate communication from the department as we encourage them to take this easy step to protect themselves and others by downloading the MI COVID Alert,” said Robert Gordon, director of MDHHS. “The more of us download the app, the safer we’ll be until a vaccine is available to the broader population.”\nThe texts encouraging Michiganders to download the app are sent to individuals based on publicly available resident contact information. Because MI COVID Alert users are anonymous, some individuals who already downloaded the app may still receive a text message.\nEarly text messages included a short link to healthymi.site/alert4 directing residents to the MI COVID Alert landing page. All new messages now display the link: michigan.gov/MICOVIDAlert.\nThe no cost, easy-to-use, anonymous app has been downloaded nearly half a million times — a figure that represents a little more than 9.5% of 18- to 64-year-olds in Michigan — in the initial weeks of the statewide launch. Oxford researchers found that when just 15% of a population used an exposure notification app like MI COVID Alert, there was a potential to reduce infections and deaths.

Outstanding Contribution – Jim Stone
President Faith C. Hensrud recognizes Jim Stone as one 2019 Outstanding Contribution award recipient
One of Bemidji State University’s 2019 Outstanding Contribution awards goes to Jim Stone, assistant professor of human health performance sport and health and head women’s soccer coach, who has guided his team to an unprecedented era of success.
Over the last two seasons, his team has won 33 games — including a school-record 18 victories this past fall season — with six ties and only two losses. Both losses have come in post-season play. This team has not lost a regular-season game since October 15, 2016 — a streak of 40 consecutive regular-season games without a loss.
To cap the team’s remarkable 2018 season, when it was ranked as high as No. 4 in the nation, it won its first-ever NCAA Tournament game, right here on campus at Chet Anderson Stadium.
This nominee also earned the fourth Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Coach of the Year award in his remarkable 17-year tenure at Bemidji State.
A nominating colleague said this nominee “is not only a great coach, but simply a great person.”

Real Madrid - Inter
'Like a final:' Conte's ahead of Inter's crunch clash with Real Madrid
by BeSoccer @besoccer_com - 24 Nov 20 0 885
Antonio Conte say the match with Real Madrid is a must win one. AFP
by BeSoccer @besoccer_com - 24 Nov 2020 0 885
Antonio Conte's Inter Milan take on Real Madrid in Wednesday's Champions League clash in a game the coach describes as "like a final" with both sides needing a win.
RND 3 UCL
FINISHED 3-2
View match details »
"For us it represents a final, after the defeat in Madrid and the two previous draws there are not many solutions," Conte told a pre-match press conference at the San Siro. We have no escape, we have to win. And we know, after the first leg, that if we want we can win."
The Italians are bottom of Group B after losing 3-2 in Spain, despite coming from two goals down to equalise before Real snatched victory. Real Madrid, the record 13-time European champions, are third with four points after three games.
"It will be a very difficult match, we know what Real Madrid are, their history, even recent in this competition," continued Conte.
Real have won four of the past seven Champions League titles, while Inter are three-time winners, most recently in 2010. The clash between Conte and his former Juventus teammate Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid will not be decisive. But after drawing against Borussia Moenchengladbach and Shakhtar Donetsk, another defeat would push Inter towards a third consecutive elimination at the group stage.
"This is the most difficult group of the whole Champions League, we would have deserved a better ranking at this point," said Conte who took over in 2019. "To qualify we need seven points, maybe nine. Talk means nothing, we have to face facts, everyone has to take responsibility, me the players and the club. If it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't mean it won't happen."
Real lost at home to Shakhtar, and drew against Moenchengladbach.The Spanish giants have never failed to advance past the group phase in 24 consecutive editions since 1997.
Zidane will be without two of the three scorers from the home leg, Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, both injured, with Luka Jovic and Eder Militao out with Covid-19.
"I don't think Real need to cry, they a complete, big squad, they have many good players," said Conte. "The fact that there is talk of absences makes me smile a little."
Inter captain Samir Handanovic warned all is still to be played for. "Let's wait for the next three Champions League matches before making judgements," said the Slovenian goalkeeper. However, it's worrying, we concede too many goals and if we want to improve, that is the first thing to adjust."

Russia’s Asymmetric Warfare
Yep. The Russians have been doing this for centuries. The most recent example was in Ukraine – and it worked.
“It looks like a classic bit of Russian asymmetric warfare – you have a strong propaganda message that says you’re doing one thing while in fact you are doing something completely different and when challenged you just flatly deny it,” Philip Hammond told Reuters in an interview in Manchester.
He said Britain had held discussions with Russia but kept on getting the same response – that Moscow was attacking Islamic State militants in Syria.
“You try talking to the Russians,” he said. “They just keep repeating their position – that is by the way also the Iranian position – and it is just incredible.”
He said that Britain needed “absolute clarity” that Assad would not be part of Syria’s future.
“That’s not some random bee in the bonnet that I’ve got; it’s that without that commitment we will never get the broad spectrum of Syrian opposition groups to sit down and agree around a table how we take forward the discussion about Syria’s future,” he said.
Hammond dismissed proposals put forward by Russia and Iran for elections, saying Syria was “a million miles away” from being able to hold a free and fair vote.
“In a country where 250,000 people have been killed and 12 million people have been displaced, half of them outside the country – how can you talk about free and fair elections?” he said.

The Laughter Café hoping to help people in Bristol with the things which stress them out
Bristol female collective set up Laughter Café to reduce stress

With everything going on in the world at the moment - from fires in Australia, the impeachment of President Trump, to the Royal family dominating the news - it is no surprise many of us need some respite.
It is one of the reasons four women in Bristol came up with the initiative the 'Laughter Café', which is as joyous as it sounds.
Sheba Soul Ensemble, an all black creative female collective, set up in 2017 received £10,000 of funding from the The National Lottery Community Fund in April 2019.
The team were able to open the Laughter Café in St Paul's Library in St Paul's Learning Centre in June and will be running sessions in the Library on Mondays, from 7pm to 8.45pm until March. The sessions will entail improvised theatre techniques.
A new cafe, music production studio and shared workspace could be coming to Stokes Croft
They also visit schools and different venues, holding dance and movement workshops which focus on laughter, they also play games and invite comedians to hold live performances.

The idea came about when the organisation realised there was a need for support for children in schools. Akulah Agbami, Cleo Lake, Judith Davis and Andrea Wright are the brains behind the idea and since then, they have helped over 1,000 children.
Akulah Agbami said: “It’s a safe space where people let go of their worries.
“They can reframe the things that they’re getting worried about.
“When you’re just taken out of the space where you’re stressing out and you muck around a bit then you’re able to see the funny side of things or the lighter side of things.
“There’s something more creative you can do with what’s stressing you out.”
The Bristol bucket list 2020: 73 things to do this year
Head of funding for the South West of England at The National Lottery Community Fund said: “We are delighted to be able to support the Laughter Café – a fantastic example of a community coming together to take the lead on the issues that matter to them.
“It’s great to see the difference this project is making to children and young people in the local community – and it’s all thanks to National Lottery players.”

The group has been funded to hold 16 projects, but hope to stretch this out to 18 and have held 10 so far.
Akula said the grant has allowed the group to work with a range of people and develop their ideas further.

Sheba Soul Ensemble have plans to put forward another application for funding, while looking into where there is also a need for support.

Akulah said: “We want to keep exploring where else we can help. But what we can see at the moment is that kids need it the most.
“They get really stressed out. With adults, they have the ability to put things into perspective, but kids don’t.
“So, there’s a massive need for kids from the age of about eight upwards to have an outlet and have more playfulness in their lives.

“They are under so much pressure and the structure at school means that they have pressure to be good enough for the league tables. When do kids get the chance to let off steam? When they go home, their parents are stressed out so there’s no outlet.”

History At Play, LLC Presents THE MASSACRE ORATIONS OF DR. JOSEPH WARREN
On Friday, December 11th, 2020 HAP, LLC presents The Massacre Orations, featuring living historian Spencer Van Herik in a solo portrayal.
BroadwayWorld.com Nov. 5, 2020
History At PlayTM, LLC has garnered nationwide applause for their Immersive Living History Experiences, chronicling the lives of legendary trailblazers who changed society. On Friday, December 11th, 2020 HAP, LLC presents The Massacre Orations, featuring living historian Spencer Van Herik in a solo portrayal, recalling the heroics of Dr. Joseph Warren. Van Herik transports us to March 6, 1775 for Warren's second Boston Massacre Oration. Having authored The Suffolk Resolves in September 1774, Warren ushered Massachusetts into an open state of rebellion against Great Britain. Van Herik reinterprets this fiery speech by Warren, who, amidst rumors of an assassination attempt, elected to deliver his oration wearing only breeches and a toga. Channeling Joseph Addison's play Cato, a Tragedy (1713), Warren's daring and dramatic speech, transcribed for modern audiences, lives on to tell the tale of the definitive precursor to an American Revolution. Performance contains some mature language.
Enjoy this LIVESTREAM presentation on Friday December 11, at 7:30 PM ET (GMT-5), via HAP, LLC's Pay-Per-HAP Facebook Group. This live event brings the vibrancy of theatrical history and educational escapism direct to your screen. Approximately 40 minutes, followed by real-time audience Q&A. Each weekly Pay-Per-HAP performance is offered at a Pay-What-You-Can rate of $10-$25. For tickets, see Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pay-per-hap-facebook-live-immersive-living-history-experience-tickets-101577970444.
Payment is required by 1:30 PM ET (GMT-5), on the date of the performance. After submitting payment, kindly request to join the Pay-Per-HAP Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/PayperHAP and select "Join Group." Admission to the group closes at 4:00 PM ET (GMT-5) on the date of the performance. No refunds/date transfers. Must have access to a Facebook account in order to view.
Spencer Van Herik is a historical reenactor from Chicago, Illinois. Spencer has dedicated himself to reenacting Dr. Joseph Warren and communicating the legacy of 18th Century America. He runs an Instagram account archiving Warren's life and the history of Revolutionary Boston, which can be found at @dr.josephwarren, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. Spencer is also a musician and songwriter.
Josh Lederman, NBC News Political Correspondent, attests: "History At Play connects the dots between the characters that made up our past and the events they shaped that still influence our lives."

HOW DOES VAPING TEMPERATURE ALTER YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH CANNABIS?
WHAT’S THE BEST TEMPERATURE FOR VAPING CANNABIS?
WHAT HAPPENS TO CANNABIS AT DIFFERENT VAPING TEMPERATURES?
LOW-TEMPERATURE VAPING: 160–185°C/320–365°F
MEDIUM-TEMPERATURE VAPING: 185–200°C/365–392°F
HIGH-TEMPERATURE VAPING: 200°C/392°F OR OVER
MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR (ALREADY VAPED) CANNABIS
TURN UP (OR DOWN) THE TEMP ON YOUR VAPE SESSION!
Temperature plays a big role when vaporizing cannabis. It can affect everything from taste and smell to the actual high. Unlike smoking, which combusts everything in the plant matter all at once (destroying a lot in the process), vaporizing unlocks the various compounds in your herb as the temperature increases, without destroying them. It gives those who prefer to vape a lot more control over their experience and allows them to get the most out of their cannabis.
But which temperature range is best for vaporizing cannabis? Which "wins"? Below you can find a breakdown of what you can expect at each temperature range, and which compounds you will harness.
It's good to know temperature adjustment changes the experience, but we'd be remiss not to tell you why. That answer mostly lies in one factor: boiling points. See, like basically every other compound, cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids all have their own boiling points. They become volatile once they get heated to that point, and thus turn into a vapor you can inhale. As you raise the temperature you'll start to activate different compounds. Vape at one temperature, and everything—from the flavour of the smoke to the high you experience—could be different than it is at another temperature.
Difference Between Vaporizing And Smoking
Does "different" mean "better", though? Should you be trying to activate certain compounds over others?
As with almost every decision involving you and cannabis, it comes down to personal preference. Before doing anything, consider what you want out of your vaping experience, then take a look at what you're smoking.
If it's flower (as opposed to concentrate), how dry is it? Is it more likely to combust at a higher temperature, or can it handle the heat?
What strain is it? That information alone gives you most of what you need to know, as a simple online search of the name will give you an idea of what cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids you'll have access to. Look at that list, then consider what you want out of the strain, whether it's recreational pleasure or something different. What flavours do you want running across your tongue? What type of high do you want to feel? With an adjustable temperature, it's all up to you.
As we've been explaining, you'll notice different effects and flavours as you increase and decrease the heat. The way it breaks down is different for each strain, but certain things stay true across the board. To show you what we mean, we'll talk about how you'll feel, as well as what compounds you'll inhale, as you vape at certain temperatures.
• Boiling points:
CBG: 52°C/125°F
THC: 157°C/314°F
CBD: 160–180°C/320–356°F
Pinene: 155°C/311°F
Delta-8 THC: 175–185°C/347–365°F
Beta-Caryophyllene: 160°C/320°F
Alpha-Terpineol: 156°C/313°F
Beta-Myrcene: 166–168°C/331–334°F
Delta-3-Carene: 168°C/334°F
1,8-Cineole: 176°C/349°F
D-Limonene: 177°C/351°F
p-Cymene: 177°C/351°F
While we're sure some of you are genuinely interested in other cannabinoids, we get it if most of you are just concerned about THC. Fortunately for you, THC has the second-lowest boiling point of the main cannabinoids at 157°C, which is around 314°F. CBD isn't far too off from there either, with a volatilisation range of 160–180ºC (320–356ºF). Since those are the most popular cannabinoids, you usually won't find a vape with a lower heat floor than 160ºC/320ºF. At that point, you'll also shoot well past CBG's boiling point, which is a comparatively chilly 52°C (125°F).
Most terpenes will hit their boiling point in this temperature range. Amongst them, you'll notice three of the most well-known: pinene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene. Pinene, true to its name, leaves hints of pine as the vapor runs along your tongue. Following close by, beta-caryophyllene mimics black pepper, and limonene tags in with a wave of citrus once you hit 177ºC (351ºF). Along with providing these flavours, lower temperatures provide softer vapor that lets them stand out that much more.
Considering THC hits the boiling point early on, you'd think low-temp vaping gets you as high as always. Surprisingly, though, people report not feeling as stoned when they smoke their strain of choice at a lower temperature. In contrast, it's more likely you’ll experience a slight euphoria or soothing sensation, feeling it all with a clear mind. This is perfect if you just want a little pick-me-up before getting work done or heading to bed. It's also ideal for those who prioritise tasting what they're smoking.
Terpinolene: 183–220ºC/361–428ºF
CBN: 185°C/365°F
Linalool: 198ºC/388ºF
Not quite as much is happening here. THC and CBD are volatilised at a faster rate at this range, though, so the adjustment isn't useless by any means. In turn, CBN hits its boiling point at 185ºC, or about 365ºF. That cannabinoid tends to build up more in older flower, so keep mid-temp vaping in mind when you're clearing out the older stuff in your stash.
While not many terpenes become newly volatile at this range, pay attention to terpinolene and linalool. The former provides a whole forest for your tasting pleasure, offering dashes of wood, pine, herbs, lemon, and flowers. Linalool provides a pleasure that's equal, yet different, crafting a bouquet of rose, lavender, and coriander spritzed with lemon. Needless to say, if you're in the mood for a refreshing, invigorating vape, start vaping around this temperature.
As mentioned before, more THC starts to come into play around here, so you'll be noticeably higher. On the other hand, CBD also has a greater presence, so that'll help mellow things out. As full vape clouds enter your lungs, you'll slow down to a comfortable pace without stopping completely. You'll be able to relax, but you won't need your friends to grab things for you. Linalool will also come into play, enhancing your mood and helping you let your guard down.
It's for these reasons that 185–200ºC (365–392°F) is considered a great starting temperature range for casual cannabis users.
CBC: 220°C/428°F
THCV: 220°C/428°F
Terpinen-4-ol: 209°C/408°F
Borneol: 210°C/410°F
Pulegone: 224°C/435°F
As the temperature climbs up towards 220ºC, we'll see two cannabinoids hit their boiling point: CBC and THCV. Deriving from the same chemical process as THC and CBD, CBC is considered another "major" cannabinoid. While you won't find much in average strains, clinical research has noted how it increases levels of anandamide, a crucial endocannabinoid created by the body.
THCV, an analogue of the standard THC, is also scarce in most strains. There are some strains with larger amounts, but stoners likely won’t be too concerned. Why? Simply enough, THCV binds to the same receptors as THC, potentially blocking the effects of the latter.
You would've already evaporated some terpinolene if you stayed at the mid-range. Raising the temperature, however, only introduces more into your vapor, along with a host of other companions. One of them, borneol, releases a soothing aroma of herbs and balsam, then offering the taste of camphor. Pulegone is the last to arrive, with its 224ºC (435ºF) boiling point; and it'll make itself known by leaving invigorating notes of peppermint on your tongue.
If you are looking for a cannabis strain that provides a real taste sensation at this range, we highly recommend Green Gelato—its a staff favourite.
7 Tips On How To Use Your Vaporizer Efficiently
As the rest of the THC is decarboxylated, and the rest of that soothing linalool enters the picture, you can expect to feel highest at this temperature range. Every other terpene and cannabinoid is activated too, so this is where you really find out what your strain of choice has to offer.
This is also where it becomes clear how much you've been burning off when you smoke. If you're vaping a strain that you usually smoke, look at how high you get off the little bit you pack in there. You'd usually need a couple bowls to get going, right? Well, since you're burning off none of those precious compounds, but activating all of them, you're getting everything you paid for.
If you're vaping flower, you might notice it doesn't turn to ash when you're done. In fact, it may seem like you could still get some use out of it if you tried. As it turns out, you can! We don't necessarily mean you can smoke it again (it's possible, although harsh and unpleasant), but its usefulness doesn't stop there.
We should note, however, that these tips only apply when you're vaping in the low or medium temperature range. We won't discourage you from trying any of this with bud heated past a certain point, but use your eyes and best judgement. If it looks more like ash than flower, after all, there's no point.
For starters, who's hungry for some edibles? Just like you'd use some shake, adding in pre-vaped bud is a great way to pad out your cannabutter. You can also add in some fresh, higher-quality nugs to ramp up the potency. If you don't want to bother making baked goods, it can be a great alternative to the cream you'd usually put in your coffee.
If you don't want to bother making the butter, but still want to eat the vaped bud, you could easily cure it. You can technically eat it without doing that, but it'll be bitter and rough, to say the least. Guides to curing vaped bud are accessible enough online, and the process doesn't take more than 23 days. You could also simply put the used bud into capsules and swallow it for a tasteless experience.
MAKE A TINCTURE OR CONCENTRATE
You also have the option to make your own cannabis oil or alcohol tincture. These oils/tinctures can, however, be a good complement to your evening cup of tea.
Now, we did say that smoking vaped bud is unpleasant, but there's a way to make it better. Specifically, if you really want to light it up, you could turn it into a concentrate with a rosin press! You won't get nearly as much wax as you would with fresh, resinous nugs, but it'll be something! If you have enough of it saved up, you might be able to supply a whole smoke session. How's that for recycling?
No matter what temperature you're vaping at (within the acceptable range), it's clear there's great experiences to be had.
Just starting your day or taking care of some important work? Low temperatures will take the edge off and treat you right. If you want to have a little more fun, maybe turn your vape up to mid-range. Ready to kick back and clock out for the night? Set that temperature higher and start floating. Then, when you're done, reuse the bud!
You'll find your sweet spot as you experiment with different strains and temperatures, and we hope you have fun on the way there.

Aphria’s getting a boost from homegrown cannabis
TerrAscend announces oversubscribed non-brokered placement in exchange for operating funds
Canopy Growth provides update as it looks to purchase more TerrAscend stock
TerrAscend has wrapped up the second phase of development at new cultivation center
Cannapany on May 3, 2020 No Comments
The leading cannabis company is using its own cannabis, helping it to enjoy additional savings
Perhaps the latest financial report presented by one of the best performers among cannabis stocks, Aphria Inc., could not celebrate the company achieving its targets for the fiscal year 2020, but its strong results continue to put it as a leader in the market. One interesting conclusion that can be made from this report is the enormous benefit that a cannabis venture can find in opting to grow its own cannabis as opposed to buying it wholesale. Aphria’s total revenue increased to $39.47 million, which is 65% up from the $23.92 million reported in the previous quarter.
It also nearly doubled its EBITDA during this quarter.
But beyond those positive numbers presented by the company, there is a lot to say about the profit margins that Aphria hit after having to buy $14.34 million in whole cannabis due to a delay in its new production facility. The company had a delay waiting for the approval of is new Aphria Diamond, so it had to supply the market with cannabis produced by another company. Due to this purchase, Aphria forecast that these whole supplies cost them 1,360 basis points on cannabis gross margins in that quarter, as well as a $5.39 hit to its adjusted EBITDA.
While other companies are shutting down operations to focus more on the sales area, Aphria continues to expand its production capacity to grow its actual EBITDA profits. The company’s gross margins are expected to jump back to more than 56% going forward. With its new facility, Aphria is entering the market with the capacity of taking its own production levels to new a new high, which also means the company is taking a step back as a wholesale market buyer.
Most likely wholesale prices will find a reasonable price in the near future when strong brands will require to buy more product. However, it seems that currently, these prices are at double or triple the growing costs, which eats most of the profit of the buyer.

Making the New Normal Feel like Home: Our Favorite Comfort Foods
Dalgona coffee, banana bread, sourdough… The list of quarantine food bakes goes on and on. While cooped up in family homes, many students spent more time cooking and baking, filling up free time with time in the kitchen. I know I, for one, turned to cooking as a stress reliever, whipping away cream for the now infamous Tik Tok dalgona coffee like there was no tomorrow. But as the summer ended (and the uncertainties didn’t) those of us who made it back to New York City, whether in dorms or not, had to somehow adapt once again to a new college life.
So what are people cooking now that we have to juggle school, a social life, pandemic woes, and feeding ourselves all at once?
Sean Nesmith - Accomplishment of the Day
After moving back to New York for school, Sean Nesmith, has taken to transforming his favorite take-out staple to an at-home meal. A junior studying International Relations and Public Policy in CAS, he makes sure to separate some time out of his busy schedule to cook breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whatever is left, he says, becomes his next meal.
As a big fan of Chinese food, Nesmith relied on his local Chinese restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, during quarantine. “I think I ended up ordering it almost 5 times a week,” Nesmith says. But what was good for the soul wasn’t so good for the wallet - the expense of eating out 5 times a week surely adds up.
Now in school, with classes and a budget to stick to, he’s turned to every NYU student's favorite grocery stores, Trader Joe’s, to recreate his comfort food staple: orange chicken with broccoli and rice. The recipe includes heating up the frozen TJ’s Orange Chicken and white microwavable rice. The unsung hero of the dish? Pan-fried broccoli. Tossed into the pan with butter, salt, garlic powder and chilli powder, the greens in his dish not only bring color and nutritional value, but also taste.
“You can’t win them all,” he laughs. And it’s true - part of being a student cook, especially one while juggling school, work, internships, and the constant feeling of impending doom, is taking the shortcuts when we need them. Not to feel less than perfect, but to feel, and act normal.
After cooking, plating, and a mandatory “phone-eats-first” picture for his instagram, Nesmith enjoys his lunch (or dinner) and then starts placing whatever is leftovers in tupperware, ready for his next meal.
“There’s something about leftovers that also feels comforting,” he adds.
As he cleans up, he feels a sense of satisfaction not only from not spending money on food, but also for accomplishing something during the day. “I feel like I just did something with my day, you know?” he adds.
Lucciana Pascual - Comfort Food at Home for When You’re Sick for Elsewhere
Staying home in Nicaragua for the fall semester, Lucciana Pascual has been using food as a way to reconnect with her friends in New York. A Film and TV junior at Tisch, she’s been completing her academic semester from her home in Managua, Nicaragua. Despite being a couple of thousand miles away from her New York circle, Pascual has tried her best at re-creating the memories so deeply tied to the big city. From Kimmel salads, to at-home 's'mores and home made Talenti ice cream, recreating the foods associated with her college career have brought a slice of New York back home.
Her dining hall favorite? A Kimmel salmon salad. “I used to have weekly Monday lunches with my friends at Kimmel, and I’d always get the same salad. Now, it’s become a ritual at home. I’ll sit in my dining room facing the window and the sun will be shining on my face,” she says.
Pascual starts her at-home Kimmel salad with an iceberg lettuce and spinach base. Then she adds cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, some grilled salmon, and kalamata olives before seasoning with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
The finishing touch? Throw everything into a tupperware, shake, and enjoy!
Dylan Liang - Time for Experimenting
It’s either all or nothing with Dylan Liang. A senior at CAS studying International Relations, Liang’s ultimate comfort food is simple egg and tomato stir-fry served over rice. A reminder of his mom’s cooking, the creamy stir-fry is incredibly easy to make and hits all the marks.
“It’s simple, comforting, you know,” he says, “and it has a lot of protein!”
But on the days that he has a little bit more time, Liang likes to splurge. Just this past weekend he embarked on a pasta-making adventure by himself. Inspired by the bag of flour sitting in his pantry, he decided to follow a Tasty recipe and make his own home made pasta. While usually he’ll keep it simple – salt, pepper, and marinara sauce – he recently decided to step out of his comfort zone.
After trying out Tasty’s chicken and mushroom pasta, he knew he had to mesh the two. Fresh pasta, sauteed mushrooms, some chicken broth, all mixed in one pot and served together for a “treat-yourself” kind of night.
The final product? “A pasta love story,” he says, documenting the process on his instagram.
Not all of us have the time Liang has to make pasta from scratch. But we do what we can to make those foods that make us smile wherever we may be. For those of us that are not in New York, comfort food means NYC. But at the end of the day, our agency over the food we eat - whether it be takeout or a home cooked meal, is just one step closer to independence, and every college student’s worst nightmare: adulthood.

The California TRUST Act Reduced Deportations
By Alex Nowrasteh and Andrew C. Forrester
Sanctuary policies on the city, county, and state level are frequently in the news. Opponents claim that they increase crime in jurisdictions while proponents claim that they allow illegal immigrants, their families, and their American neighbors to rest a little easier knowing that the local government won’t help the federal government enforce its immigration laws. Both sides assume that sanctuary policies produce those results by decreasing the scope and scale of immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions that, in turn, reduce the number of deportations from there.
There are undoubtedly individual cases where a sanctuary policy helps a person avoid deportation, but the more important question is whether they reduce deportations overall. If there isn’t much of an impact, then the debate over sanctuary policies is just a costly diversion from other issues. However, if sanctuary policies do reduce deportations, then perhaps pro‐immigration activists and policy‐makers should devote more effort to increase their number. Likewise, opponents of sanctuary policies should also stop opposing them if they don’t have an impact on deportations but expand their opposition if they do reduce deportations by a lot
There is suggestive evidence that sanctuary policies reduce deportations but many reasons to also be skeptical of big effects. We decided to look at how the California TRUST Act reduced deportations from California. Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed the TRUST Act in October 2013 – the beginning of the fiscal year for 2014. The TRUST Act was a state‐level sanctuary policy that limited law enforcement cooperation with ICE unless the arrestee had already been convicted of serious crimes.
ICE deports people apprehended in specific Areas of Responsibility (AOR). There are three AORs that include the states of California and Hawaii. For the purposes of this blog, we assumed that Hawaii was not part of the California AORs. According to the Center for Migration Studies, Hawaii’s illegal immigrant population was under 40,000 in 2015 while California’s was almost 2.6 million. Since Hawaii’s illegal immigrant population was only 1.5 percent of California’s, we were comfortable in ignoring it.
Figure 1 shows a steep relative decline in deportations from the California AOR relative to the rest of the country when the TRUST Act was enacted. In FY2014, the first year that the TRUST Act was in effect, deportations from California dropped 39 percent relative to FY2013. In the rest of the country in FY2014, they only dropped 9 percent relative to FY2013.
Annual Percentage Change in Removals by AOR
Sources: ICE and authors’ calculations.
Figure 2 shows the differences in removal trends before and after California’s TRUST Act became law relative to the other AORs that were not covered by the California law. Each regression line fit to the pre‐ and post‐TRUST Act, called “Fitted Values,” highlights the change from a steady increase in the number of removals from California’s AOR to a precipitous decline in the number of removals when the TRUST Act became law.
California Deportation Trends Pre‐ and Post‐TRUST Act
On a statistical basis, these findings are merely suggestive as we only have 12 years of data and we didn’t control for any other factors. For Figure 2, it appears that the more substantive change transpired in FY2012 prior to the TRUST Act. Regardless, this simple exercise strongly suggests that the California TRUST Act caused the number of deportations from California to fall faster than they otherwise would have relative to other AORs.

A better idea
The importance of contingency planning
As an auto dealer in Victoria—a south Texas town of about 68,000 people—Mac Haik Ford sells over 200 cars a month.
While the dealership was mostly spared the wrath of Hurricane Harvey with minimal damage to new cars, it was still without power in the wake of the storm.
“Like everyone else, we were without power,” says sales manager Greg Gunn. “We didn’t know when the power was going to come back on. Some people didn’t get power for up to three weeks. So we had to look high and low and far and wide to try to find power source.”
A rental generator from another source quit working, forcing the auto dealer to search again. By mid-week following the storm, Mac Haik Ford found a generator through Holt Power Systems in San Antonio. A local electrical contractor helped connect the generator to the auto dealership and restore power.
“Once we got it set up and going, we had enough fuel to keep it running consistently,” Gunn said. “There were no disruptions during the time we had it—it held up real well. The generator was able to operate our main building and two secondary buildings.
Mac Haik Ford
“We actually started selling some cars on Thursday,” Gunn said. “So it was really nice to be able to get up and going and have power even though businesses around here didn’t get their power turned back on for another four or five days. A lot of people needed vehicles to get back and get going. So we were very fortunate to be able to help them.”
The next time a major weather event strikes, Gunn says the auto dealer plans to be ready.
“We have protocol that details what to do before a disaster hits, and that involves protecting the store and doing certain things such as moving vehicles,” he says. “I know our corporate office is taking a hard look into a protocol for power, to ensure we’re prepared so that whenever there is loss of power, we can have power and be ready to roll. Having a contract in place beforehand with the company that can provide us with a rental generator if a storm is going to hit is essential.
“We need to get that plan and that relationship established with Holt Power Systems, because we forget how much we need the power.”

"Women: Power of Life" Empowerment Workshops
CEDEJO is currently seeking grants or sponsorship to continue their very important women's empowerment programs.
A Pilot Project of the program was successfully completed in 2014 with 18 women in the Tepehua community in Chapala, Jalisco, MX over a 9 month period, which resulted in women creating circles of support and many of the women creating their own projects which helped them earn money & move toward financial independence. As a result of the success of the program, CEDEJO has a waiting list of women in the region, who are interested in attending the next available programs.
Due to existing problems in rural communities in the Rivera of Chapala (such as poverty, marginalization of women, domestic violence & women's lack of access to economic resources and information about reproductive rights) CEDEJO has created the “Women: Power of Life” program, which seeks to support the empowerment & development of women in these communities. The program offers specialized training which supports women's health & well-being, promotes equality and gender rights, and gives women resources for them to improve their personal growth and economic development.
Core Topics of Program include:
Sexual & Reproductive Health section includes sessions on family planning, cancer & STD prevention, health & hygiene, sexuality & gender beliefs, sex education, birth control.
Women's Rights & Domestic Violence Prevention sectionincludes sessions on gender equity, women's rights, violence prevention.
Productive Projects section facilitates sustainable income generation & entrepreneurial goal-setting and includes sessions on natural medicine & plant extracts, therapeutic massage, manufacturing of natural products, sustainable gardening, creating a business & cooperative model.
Women's Circles section facilitates self-esteem and support models and includes sessions on circles of women, self-esteem, women's bodies/wisdom, motivational skills, health habits, nutrition & mindfulness.
$180,000 MXN (15,000 MXN/month) covers 9 months of workshops for 1 group of 15-25 women! Click here to make a donation or Contact Us for more details.
CEDEJO Website Redesign
Our website gets a facelift!
In honor of International Women's Day, CEDEJO volunteer Sheila Poettgen, who previously helped CEDEJO with public outreach by redesigning our outdated website & promotional material in 2013, donated her skills again this year to redesign our website in order to better reflect the work that CEDEJO is doing in the community. Thanks to all of our volunteers for supporting CEDEJO's mission!

Only 1 in 4 Jalisco Teens Use Condoms
According to a March 2016 article posted by the Guadalajara Reporter, "only one in four sexually active teenagers in Jalisco always use a condom, according to the Jalisco youth survey".
“The number of young people that use condoms is around 38 percent,” said Jalisco Youth Institute Director Ramon Morales Sanchez. “Twenty-three percent of respondents say they never use a condom, 22 percent say they almost never do and 17 percent say they use one the majority of times.” Eighteen percent of survey respondents said they did not use condoms because they did not have the money to buy them. In 2015 there were 17,260 pregnant teenagers admitted to hospitals in Jalisco.
(Read the full GR article here: Teenagers shunning condoms).

HoneyBee Hives
Jindabyne in NSW
Di McQueen-Richardson and Scott Richardson, owners of HoneyBee Hives, live on a 100-acre property at Kremnos in Northern NSW.
Their bees were already suffering due to drought conditions when Di and Scott were asked to evacuate their property in mid-August 2019 and again in November 2019 due to bushfires. On both occasions, they returned home to find their house and beehives still standing.
Unfortunately, beehives close to bushfire-affected areas often suffer from smoke and heat stress. Heat stressed bee colonies can take months to recover and return to full honey production. Some colonies may even die.
After the fires, Di and Scott found the extreme heat had made their queen bees sterile, meaning they had to be replaced. Not knowing whether their bees would make much honey after the fires, Di and Scott had the idea of making home-made Christmas gifts using the beeswax they had stockpiled for over 10 years. With Di’s background as a natural therapist, she used her skills to create bees wax balm products with natural ingredients.
The bees wax products proved so popular with family and friends that a range of 15 beeswax balm products was born. Di said the biggest order so far has been from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), who bought 150 beeswax balm products and 150 jars of honey as part of their Australia now program. The program promotes Australian-made products from bushfire-affected areas through its overseas posts and overseas events.
The program is a way of showcasing Australia’s excellence, diversity and innovation and will be celebrated in Malaysia and in France. “Connecting our products to people across the globe is very exciting and may result in potential exports to Malaysia.” said Di.
Product of HoneyBee Hives
Di believes HoneyBee Hives is better positioned after the bushfires than before because of their efforts to diversify into beeswax products.
Her advice to other small business owners and operators is to consider what resources you have, to always think outside the box and to avoid clinging to a particular role or title such as ‘I am a beekeeper’.
Di has been amazed at the amount of support available. Her small business has accessed Australian Government benefits such as the JobKeeper allowance and the $10,000 bushfire recovery grant for small businesses jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments to help diversify the business into beeswax balm products.
Di also strongly suggested small businesses reach out to a business mentor and access all the support available. She found Rural Financial Counsellors very helpful, as well as the free business advice available through Business Connect, a program run by the NSW Government.
If you are a small business and/or primary producer that has been impacted by bushfires, you may be eligible for more assistance than you think! Visit our small business support page for more information.

Cons: "flight left without 1/6 of the passengers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Cons: "Delta flies a lot of the CRJ planes, even on relatively longer trips. Traveling first class, the seats are a little wider than in coach and have a little more leg room, but calling it "first class" is a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like what coach used to be before the days of the flying sardine cans."

Cons: "A lot of turbulence"

Cons: "The food was mediocre, to say the least."

Pros: "extra legroom of comfort plus zone"

I wish she could be on every flight I take."
Pros: "The crew was excellent"

Pros: "On time, pleasant and friendly flight attendant, no unexpected issues or problems."
Cons: "Grumpy gate attendants at YUL! Could not hear the captain’s comments over the PA system. Shouldn’t the volume be checked every so often? We were offered only water or coffee, bad enough, then there was no milk or cream on board, so water or black coffee... not very impressive! And there was no entertainment so I’d rate that zero but the scale only goes as low as one star."

Cons: "V limited complimentary food for long haul flight"

Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "Lack of food for long haul flight. Had to pay to eat. 43 dollars and only able to pay with debit/credit card rather than cash"
Pros: "Friendly crew, informative captain."

Pros: "Crew were very friendly and were having a good time during the flight, which was nice to see."
Cons: "No pillows or blankets supplied, luckily I had my own otherwise I would have been miserable. Worst surprise was that there was no food provided. On a long haul flight that was surprising, they should clearly say that on booking. There were snacks available for purchase, but not great."
Pros: "The food"

Pros: "Did not fly. But delayed by a while"
Pros: "Nothing."

Pros: "It was clean and on time"
Pros: "Great service when checking in. Flight on time and comfortable."

Pros: "Kind helpful staff"

Pros: "I love flying in a smaller plane. They are usually not full in the morning and so it gave me a lot of space to relax and enjoy the flight from montreal to toronto. The crew was really nice and smilling and they made sure that my pet and I had everything we needed."
Cons: "The seats are pretty thin and uncomfortable. There is no wifi or television on board."
Cons: "snow caused my flight to be cancelled instead of the direct flight to nyc i flew via Atlanta. due to the timings of the flight - landing at 2.30 am, leaving at 7.30 am - i had no option but to sleep on the airport floor i will try to avoid fliying with westjet in future - staying loyal to air canada - to avoid the risk of such a terrible flight diversion"
Pros: "THE flight got me home"
Cons: "Th check in staff made light of what seat I was assigned stating it was the best seat. 23A a bulkhead back row seat that did not recline. I was then Seated next to an individual that should have had two seats to themselves instead of most of my seat and theirs. I was literally pressed into the bulkhead by the very large person next to me. Who had another large individual next to them. WestJet used to be a great airline that Had a little more legroom. Now airlines like flair offer the same flights with more legroom wider seats and far lower costs. WestJet has lost me as a customer that used to pay a little extra if There was a WestJet flight option"
Cons: "Staff was rude and lazy."
Cons: "avoid the westjet encore flights. planes are small and noisy. if you sit next to a window it’s impossible to comfortably put both feet on the ground. if you pay for plus seating on an encore flight you’re basically paying to get on and off first. there’s no extra room and would be more fairly priced at $10."
Pros: "The flight comes into Vancouver at a very good time."
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice. Especially « Big John », he was very funny."
Pros: "Very friendly"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled then rescheduled on a flight that was over an hour delayed. We almost lost our connection to Hong Kong as a result. Made for a very stressful journey with 77 year old parent and 8 years old child long waiting/ tiring time and running to gate our flight."
Pros: "The seats were vinyl, not fabric - I prefer vinyl. It feels 'cleaner'."
Cons: "1.I did not like the flight crew announcing how great they (the crew) were at the start of announcements before take-off ---- If you are great, don't tell us, act like it - I found both crew members hardly engaging, one was sullen. 2. PA system was a little hard to understand anyway. Crew member should have put volume up and made sure was loud enough , but just seemed like wanted to use a 'cute' half french/half english accent to speak in. 3. Also this flight 3535 on Dec 21 Mtl- Toronto made me nervous although I fly often. Most nervous I have been because pilot took time to gain altitude after take off, and when landing had to accelerate then decelerate a number of times. Landing was (with 2 km/hr winds i.e. not much wind) almost on one wheel. 4. Food does not have to be so cheap e.g. sweet snack bar? Please bring back an assortment of nuts as they are at least nutritious. Thank you for reading."
Cons: "I didn’t book the flight. Was just checking and got the confirmation of booking. Called customer service and they cancelled the booking. Question is why there is no confirmation button and how continue button can confirm the booking. Kayak need to check and advise."
Pros: "It was a smaller aircraft and the staff were friendly"
Cons: "was right at the back of the plane and could not hear the announcements clearly."
Cons: "More sanitation efforts. Stop overselling flight to help stop the spread of COVID-19"
Pros: "Boarding"
Cons: "Better seats, the main cabin extra seats were just like the other main cabin seats. One particular stewardess was very rude to all the passengers, while the steward Jeffery was very nice and friendly."
Pros: "Everyone was very accommodating."
Cons: "Not much at all. Everyone was very accommodating"
Cons: "We got delayed claiming it was weather for 15 hours."
Cons: "I was asked to move from the front of the plane to the second to last row without a thank you or any kind of appreciation..."
Pros: "Our flight attendant was very polite and with a great attitude."
Cons: "The pilot arrived late because he went for a Tim Horton's coffee (I know that because I was in first row and I heard the flight attendants talking about that). Then, after he finally arrived with a tray full of coffees, there was an issue with the jet's computer and had to reset it and we had to wait even more. When we finally arrived, our Gate was taken by other plane already and we had to wait (more) for the first one to be available for us. Then, when we finally got our Gate, there was another issue, now with the "finger". They weren't able to move it and connect it to the plane to get off of it. So we had to wait AGAIN. And finally as soon as we got off the plane, they were supposed to give us our carry ons on the aisle (Because it was a small plane CR700) , but again, we had to wait almost 10 minutes so that they could send the luggage... To make things worse, I had a first class ticket and I couldn't get the perks of it at the airport. Because they said I wasn't flying in an international flight. Come on?! Canada->USA->Mexico is not International??? You lost me AA."
Cons: "Gin availability"
Cons: "On Time. Delayed advice 3 times."
Pros: "I like nothing!!!!!"
Cons: "My flight was canceled and company didn’t give any other flight.... any compensation for it...."
Cons: "Baggage claim was terribly slow and we were director the wrong carousel."
Pros: "Getting off. Entertainment system."
Cons: "The food. Working toilets. 10 abreast seating is too tight on 777. Avoid."
Pros: "Flights were on time."
Cons: "Seats are too small."
Pros: "Direct flight"
Cons: "Our flight was delayed for two hours because of a mechanical issue. When we reached Savannah we had to wait to get to a gate to get off the plane."
Pros: "Plane was clean, wifi worked"
Cons: "Flight was delayed 2.5hrs, had to wait on tarmac 30min to take off and 15min to get to gate, bumpy flight. Jerky inputs from pilot."
Pros: "Crew nice- flight smooth"
Cons: "More leg room"
Cons: "Seats what happened to towlets after food Also never asked if we would like water etc I felt invisible"
Pros: "Did good job"
Cons: "Bigger seats in economy"
Pros: "It was a great flight. It was on time, and the plane was clean and the stewardess was courteous"
Cons: "It was a great flight."
Pros: "Seat upgrade."
Pros: "The boarding process and its ease"
Cons: "The Wi-Fi was not free and quite expensive. The space between seats was too narrow for my legs resulting in an uncomfortable journey. The entertainment was dated and not varied enough. The food was borderline unsavoury. The wines were cheap... Not an airline I would recommend to anyone."
Pros: "It left on time and arrived on time"
Cons: "Service, comfort and food as I would rate these below 0 if there was that option."
Cons: "The flight was delayed twice and ended up arriving hours after schedule. I get sometimes this happens. I was frustrated bc we were boarded and seated, ready to taxi with no pilot! It took another 30 minutes to get one! I realize when flights are late there are ripple effects but this was excessive."
Pros: "Wi-Fi and USB ports worked great. Seat was comfortable after 11 upgrade. On time"
Cons: "Having to pay extra for a exit row seat"
Cons: "Plane late. They had no food aboard shown on the regular menu apparently because the crew changes were delayed they did not stock the plane with food.."
Pros: "Great surprise at the end of a long travel day. New plane, great crew."
Pros: "Comfortable flight. New plane"
Pros: "Very attentive first class stewardess. Loved the comfort of the seats and extra legroom in first class."
Cons: "Wish wii was free. At least for first class."
Cons: "Flight was late and caused me to miss my flight to Dallas."
Pros: "The legroom."
Cons: "There was nothing not to like."
Pros: "Good boarding and on time departure."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seats and spacement between the seats too small and you feel very cramped specially when the person in front of you reclines his seat you can hardly move."
Cons: "Waiting for 30 minutes a Dublin to dock."
Pros: "The plane was not busy so services took about 5 minutes, everyone had 2 seats minimum and generally quiet. Had it been busy, it would have been different in that seats were not very wide, aisles very small, if the seat in front reclines and you don't, you can't see your screen and not a lot of space in general."
Cons: "If you want to select your seat, be prepared to pay £175 per flight. This is ridiculous! Second meal was a very bare bbq beef pie or sweet potato pie... On their own with nothing else and it arrived 30 minutes before we landed so very rushed. On a 9.5hr flight the 2nd meal needed to be an actual meal and come sooner than it did."
Pros: "Arrived ahead of the scheduled time"
Cons: "Plane was less than half full yet the crew appeared pressured .... one crew member didn’t wait for me to complete my request and she brought me eat phones yet I wanted to ask for water to drink! Seats don’t recline much ...."
Pros: "Awfully rude flight attendants Took multiple buses I guess American doesn’t pay good money to the airports"
Pros: "Crew were ok Captain was informant"
Cons: "Delay Heat on plane at 98 degrees upon boarding"
Pros: "Outbound, it was on time, plenty of legroom, plenty of good snacks, drinks and food. An enjoyable flight. Score 10.0"
Cons: "Return flight - The flight departed 4 hours late. The seating was so cramped my husband couldn't move his legs at all, never mind try to sleep. The staff members were not smart in appearance, some with long untidy hair, and did not interact with passengers except to hand out food. The food was reasonable. We disembarked feeling like wrecks. Score 2.0"
Pros: "Boarded on time, left on time, smooth flight, early arrival. What’s not to like? NB: Food on this short trip wasn’t available, thus wasn’t a thing, thus my low rating. Great bottled water, tho. ;)"
Cons: "Our last 6 flights have all been changed or delayed significantly. Then they loose our bags on a direct flight. Won’t fly America airlines again!"
Cons: "The flight was delayed 3 times. Little knowledge from front desk, relied on my phone for updated info."
Cons: "There should be more number of check in bags for passengers. At the least the overhead bins should be allowed to the passengers."
Cons: "The flight was delayed. The food was not great. There is not a lot of space in these planes, and it was a long flight. There is no power supply."
Pros: "I had a connection flight to JFK I came before the time about 15 min and crew saw me but she told me, sorry someone took your seats I lost around 4000$. This happened at Dallas airport."
Pros: "Left on time, service was good."
Cons: "The food"
Pros: "Went on time and looked after very well"
Cons: "Going over leg room, a bit tight"
Pros: "Direct flight Chicago to Paris."
Cons: "Uncomfortable seating. Almost 2 hrs delay leaving Chicago forced us to miss train connection in Paris. Bad layover times to get back to the States, almost 9 hrs was the only choice available."
Pros: "Flight wasn’t full. We were able to relocate to exit row seating. I love preassigned seating."
Cons: "I have flown this airline many times and never once have we ever taken off on time. We left 2 and a half hours late and the people that work for them are grumps all the time. Never flying them again."
Pros: "Dreamliner plane"
Cons: "Terrible service from get go which continued when landing in Melbourne with hopeless Qantas."
Cons: "Passengers brought hot food on board at Dallas. McDonalds and KFC odours were overwhelming for first 30 minutes."
Pros: "Only check in and boarding was smooth."
Pros: "Seat was comfortable as I had the exit row"
Cons: "Flight was late by an hour taking off from DXB."
Cons: "Travel agency did not notify me that I needed to get a Yellow Fever immunization"
Cons: "One of my checked baggage was lost."
Pros: "Crew as always with air Canada were very accommodating. Always smiling!"
Pros: "It arrived on time."
Cons: "The temperature in the cabin was way too cold. People we wearing their jackets and when I mentioned it to the cabin crew member she said a few other people would have to make a similar comment before she could request turning the temperature up. There was also a glitch in the system so that the reading lights for each seat could only be operated by the seat directly in front. The food was very uninspiring and poorly presented. The tea and coffee were awful!!!!!! The choice of movies,etc was very limited. Thank goodness it was a night flight and not too long!"
Cons: "The vegetarian meals, they were not enjoyable, we actually couldn’t eat them. I wish we had not gotten vegetarian meals as the regular breakfast was a choice between pancakes or omelet with fresh fruit, which where both vegetarian. They need to make a difference between vegetarian and vegan."
Pros: "New plane in the excellent condition. Leg room in economy not bad. Crew friendly and efficient. Boarding worked well."
Cons: "The main meal was pretty dreadful. Grilled chicken with what I think was mashed potato, but it was difficult to be sure. Watery and tasteless. Accompanied bizarrely by a tomato sauce (which did taste of something). Hard to identify the ethnicity."
Pros: "Really nice comfortable seats, amazing windows larger then usually with new technology. Food was ok. It was nice that crew constantly was offering drinks"
Pros: "Every thing expert the food"
Pros: "only The crew inside the airplane and the airoplane"
Cons: "Every one in Lufthansa are so rude expect the crew"
Pros: "The zone system seems to work well for boarding and the cabin crew on my flight to London were superb, helpful and polite to myself and others, despite a few impatient passengers."
Cons: "Was put on a Turkish airlines flight - landed in India 12 hours AFTER scheduled landing. My luggage did not reach India. After numerous calls got only 1 out of 2 of my bags ; 2nd bag still missing 1 week after landing in India WOW"
Pros: "While I've ranked the crew as poor, that isn't a reflection of the entire crew. The flight crew and check-in team were fine, the boarding I have as mediocre due to delay, but I don't put that on the staff."
Cons: "My issues are two part: 1 - I wasn't informed that I was required to retrieve my luggage from the carousel on this flight from George Town to Toronto. I thought perhaps I missed something, however, the three other couples that were in the same predicament I was weren't aware either. This caused a massive headache, the instructions were superbly poor on how to retrieve the luggage, and the process was completely a waste of time. We had to talk with three different people, the person that took us back to the carousel showed no urgency despite us all explaining that we were on a short layover, and might miss our next flight, and even though we had our passes to get through customs, we were made to wait in line to have our baggage inspected. A completely broken process that could've been avoided with a friendly reminder at check-in. 2 - Once I was able to retrieve my luggage I picked it up off the carousel only to find the handle on one piece of luggage had been ripped off, and the plastic lining on the other bag was destroyed. Admittedly I find this to be no surprise after seeing how mine and everyone else's luggage was handled so poorly upon being loaded into the cargo. I saw my luggage being tossed 3-5 feet into the cargo area - literally picked up, and with complete disregard flung like it was a trash bag being thrown into the dumpster. Since I didn't have time to discuss this with any staff due to my prior issue and being unable to find a representative once I landed back in Vancouver, I called the next day to discuss this over the phone, but the representative explained that I was only able to make a complaint in-person at the time of baggage retrieval. The person was absolutely useless and unwilling to help. This was by far the worst treatment I've had at any time in my life while flying any airline. The trip to George Town was with American Airlines, and even though it was longer, and a tad bit more expensive, the service I had with them was stellar by comparison to my experience with AirCanada. Going forward I will only be using AC when there are absolutely no other options."
Pros: "I am 6ft 1 / 185cm and the leg room was OK for an economy flight. Food was OK for airplane food. Staff were very friendly. Overall very happy."
Pros: "Great food and good space for economy"
Cons: "Ran out of food.."
Pros: "Clean, friendly crew remembered how we had our tea/coffee from the earlier service"
Cons: "Economy is never very comfortable but was better than a lot of other airlines"
Pros: "Entertainment"
Cons: "My seat was wet and i had to wait quite a while for it to be rectified. I asked to sit on a crew seat at the back of the plane and was told that i would break it. I found this rather disgusting . Seating plan is very crammed like sardines"
Cons: "I wasn’t able to check in online and therefore wasn’t able to update with my dietary requirements which meant I couldn’t really eat anything that was given. I was told at the airport that it needs to be submitted 24 hrs before the flight and there was nothing they could do. Really unfair and not on."
Cons: "I bought my ticket with Air Canadafrom Vancouver to Calgary then connected with Lufthansa from Calgary to London UK. Unknown to me I could not find the flight because it had been changed to an AC reference flight. With a very short time for the connection I did not know where to get my boarding pass as my flight with Lufthansa was nowhere referred to ! Not which gate to go . Why not put it in the ticket that Lufthansa and Air Canada work together and that both flights ref should show !! It would avoid a great deal of anxiety . Only offered 1 round if hot drinks over 9 hours ! Departure delayed by nearly 60 minutes"
Pros: "great service from start to finish would use again"
Pros: "its was smooth"
Cons: "few movies"
Pros: "Excellent value for Economy flight"
Pros: "Ease of boarding - no long queues. Offer to put hand luggage in the hold with no charge."
Pros: "It was OK but it had to be better than the flight to Canada which was delayed 24 hours (just for bad measure). It's a cheap flight and AC warn that the "in seat" screen is no longer provided so criticism on this basis is a bit silly. I noted that the free iPads in Premium Economy provided more films but they were so dated!!! Food in PE was much better as was the general service. It cost quite a bit in the "Auction" but it was worth it I think."
Cons: "This relates to the outward trip when we only found out at the check-in that the plane was postponed to the following day. OK, we were put up in a hotel for the night but 24 hours there was not the best day of my life. I wasn't too impressed with the hotel."
Pros: "Staff all friendly and helpful, both at desk and in plane. Seats were pretty comfortable with sufficient leg room (I am tall), but if you are a wide person (or next to one) it would have been pretty cramped. Neither of my flights (to Newfoundland) were full so we all had a bit of extra space. Food was adequate but could be improved with fruit instead of dessert."
Pros: "Nothing positive to say"
Cons: "Originating flight was delayed, so missed connection in Montreal and had to be rerouted. After going through 5 airports to reach our final destination, we finally made it - without our luggage!!! To make matters worse, the complete and extreme lack of empathy on behalf of Air Canada's customer service desk was less than appreciated by us.... As it turns out, Air Canada was aware all along that we would miss our connection; however, they still had us board our originating flight. The gate agent should have been conscientious and informed us that the delay was ongoing with our flight being number 22+ on the tarmac to take off, thus guaranteeing our missed connection. They should have rebooked us on another flight from our original destination vs rebooking us upon arrival in Montreal to miss further connecting flights. Very disappointed!!!!! Based on this experience alone, never again will I or my family travel Air Canada."
Cons: "I was simply trying to relieve myself using the restroom in the back. I had held it in the entire time during take off but I desperately needed to go. The seatbelt sign stayed on for an eternity so I decided to get up to go when I felt it might be ok. Another gentleman also did so, he didn't get yelled at but I got an earful from the flight attendant and she assumed I didn't speak English because I couldn't respond while trying to hold my nladder."
Pros: "The plane took off and landed on time."
Cons: "The food was terrible and the staff were in there own world and not particularly polite. Hand luggage was not managed so the bins were rammed. Some people had 3 pieces of large hand luggage. Food was the worse I have had on any flight. I would rather pay and have something edible. On 2 of my 3 flights the staff were so wrapped up in there own life's, they did not manage to finish the safety checks before taking there seat. Overall a poor experience."
Pros: "Flight crew was nice and helpful."
Cons: "The in-flight viewing service was not functioning. For an entire 6 hours and half, we couldn't watch movies or anything else."
Pros: "This was a boring flight which is a good thing, no drama, no mechanical problems, no weather problems. More leg room than an overseas flight."
Cons: "There was some confusion during boarding."
Pros: "Constant supply of food"
Cons: "No entertainment on seats"
Cons: "Air Canada offers this flight DAILY. Yet somehow the boarding was the most excruciating tedious I’ve had to endure. Passengers who needed assistance boarding seemed to have to deal with haphazard organisation, and the fact that they seemed surprised so many people brought carry-on luggage that the bins filled up is laughable. Changed my return flight to Alaska Air."
Cons: "another delay"
Pros: "Help provided by the whole staff"
Cons: "This flight was two and a half hours late. We lost an hour and 45 minutes due to a mechanical problem with our airplane, then lost another 45 minutes due to a storm in Toronto. Air Canada blamed the weather for our late arrival, my missed connection and claimed no responsabilility for the fact that my trip ended up taking more than 24 hours when it was supposed to take about 9 hours. Also, there was the matter of the lost luggage which was a carry on that I accepted to have checked as the Air Canada staff seemed desperate to check our carry ons on a full flight to Toronto from Montreal. I ended up spending the night in the Vancouver airport without access to my luggage."
Cons: "They had nothing together. My first flight was delayed so I got in late and my connecting flight was rescheduled for 5 hours later. Their "free meal voucher" for rescheduling amounts to one slice of pizza and no drink. The airport then lost my checked bag and kept me waiting in one room for 4 of those hours to where I was still rushing to catch my next flight. Air Canada then forgot to assign a plane to my new second flight so I waited another 2 hours to board. Once boarded, the airline made us wait another hour while they loaded bags, then unloaded some of the wrong bags thy put on. They then tacked 25 minutes in the wrong direction and we went all the way back. I have never seen so many people rushing the customer service desks because they missed their connecting flights, throughout the entire time I was stuck in Toronto. Additionally, their "in flight movie system" doesn't work unless you rent one of their iPads. It prompts you to download Java Flash player even if you already have it instead of asking to run it. Then once you allow it, you get a 1-2 second animation then the movie breaks. There are similar errors with their music and tv show features, I tried all of these in my laptop and phone."
Cons: "my flights were delayed, crew could not help me find a hotel, instead had to sleep at the airport, plus my luggage was lost and still no idea what is going on. Had to miss work due to my flight being delayed, was supposed to fly from montreal at 4:30pm to Toronto, then catch my flight to Los Angeles, flight was missed due to weather. got to Toronto and missed my flight, the line to get help was absolutely ridiculous, stood there for 3 hrs along with other travelers. They booked me a flight from Toronto to Calgary but it was for the next day at 410pm on august 1st!!! I had to sleep on the airport floor and spend my whole day there instead of being home with my family I honestly would love a refund..."
Pros: "Very good crue"
Cons: "Very concientiousvAiur Canada employees"
Pros: "The counter assistant was very, very nice."
Cons: "It is good that the flight was very short. The seats were crammed together and the plane was very small. I felt like I was in a sardine can."
Pros: "Service flight on time food"
Cons: "No movies for 7 hour flight"
Cons: "delayed. no explanation for a long time. no agent at gate for alot of the time."
Cons: "No entertainment no snacks no checked in luggage. You have to pay to rent iPad to watch inflight movies as pay for earphones. Air Canada has become a premium priced airline with extra low cost /no frills service. Sad and disappointing. Last time I am flying with AC. Rather book cheaper airlines and know what to expect than pay a premium and get even less than the low cost option. Boarding staff was rude pushing people etc"
Cons: "Gate change but no announcement"
Pros: "We flew Toronto to Milan"
Cons: "Air canada doesn't know how to run an airline and should stop trying. They are hurting all of their passengers,and they do not care."
Pros: "Staff was very helpful and kind"
Pros: "We received generous vouchers, when our flight was delayed prior to its cancellation."
Cons: "The only disappointing thing about our flight was the cancellation without warning and explanation. We then had to work to get on a new flight as some of our party were not automatically re-booked."
Pros: "Very comfortable and clean aircraft. Friendly crew. Seats at the front of Economy had excellent legroom. Helpful flight announcements from the captain."
Cons: "Air Canada has only one gate at Houston, which appears to be in constant use, at least in the early afternoon. If one flight is delayed in departure, it causes a backup with other flights."
Cons: "Late crew caused delays"
Pros: "Timeliness, professional staff and crew"
Cons: "Less cramped airplane: there is nothing wrong with the plane itself but every time I have travelled this route the plane has been completely full (this time it was even oversold) so a bigger plane would help"
Pros: "The flight was easy and quick. These small planes are actually pretty comfortable."
Cons: "Waiting for a gate in Chicago is never fun. Most people on the plane seemed to have tight connections, and I'm guessing most of us missed them. I only made mine because the next flight was delayed."
Cons: "Everything. My booking confirmation was with United Airlines only to get to the airport to find that they had subcontracted the flight to a budget airline. Eurowings. The food very substandard. If you were on a basic ticket, you were only entitled to water and no food. So people are travelling on long haul flights without being offered anything as standard. Passengers on these tickets were not aware that they would not be served.any food which is probably unethical. They offer to sell you food if on a basic ticket"
Pros: "Was able to get an Economy Plus seat, which is nice - great legroom for an almost 6' tall person and power plug is very handy. Entertainment & screens on the 787 is very good. Regular distributions of water was very helpful since I wasn't able to fill up my bottle before getting on the flight."
Cons: "Not a great amount of food available, and one of the larger cabin crew members kept brushing my arm as she walked past, which didn't help me get any sleep."
Pros: "We were early. We sat together"
Cons: "Too strict on check in baggage weight"
Pros: "the flight was scheduled 1h30"
Cons: "the seat comfort"
Pros: "Generally flight was ok."
Cons: "Food was not too much. Probably men was hungry, for me it did not taste good."
Pros: "Cost"
Cons: "Aircon too cool"
Cons: "Rough landing in Washington, smell of kerosene in Sao Paulo flight, otherwise good."
Cons: "The flight was delayed due to weather at Newark. But when the weatther turned good, there was no Gate Agent from United for nearly one hour. Finally a captain who was flying home cold not take it and finally went from one gate to another hoping to find a GA."
Pros: "..."
Cons: "All of my fligts has been delayed and resceduled, so instead of 18 hours to go to hawaii, it took me 36h"
Pros: "the flight from JKT to Tokyo to Newark was good, entertainment was good, food was good, crew was good."
Cons: "THE flight from Newark to Montreal was HORRIBLE! the flight was delayed and when we boarded, we were stranded on the taxiways for 2,5 hours. After 20 hours of flying, and you know your last flight was just another hour, I ended up arriving Montreal at 12.30 AM when it should've been 9 PM"
Pros: "Good communication from crew concerning updates and ETAs."
Cons: "Service was a bit brusque at times, but never unkind."
Pros: "After United lost our luggage in Houston we had to file a claim in Auckland which meant we missed our flight to Wellington. Ground crew were super helpful and got us on the next flight 30 mins later. Cabin crew were great and sorted us out with water and snacks before take off as could tell we were desperate after flying in from London via Houston."
Cons: "-"
Pros: "Helpful crew and loads of space on bulkhead with bassinet (had to pay extra for the seats though but worth it when travelling with five month old)."
Cons: "Misinformed about luggage being checked all the way to Auckland - like other US airports all luggage must be collected and handed over again for onward journeys. Also travel cot was lost in transit."
Cons: "My suitcase handle was broken"
Pros: "Seats and entertainment"
Cons: "One syaffmemberrude butall not very friendly orhelpful no food to purchase on board which meant we had absolutely nothing to eat until landing not good when ad ertise that you can purchase on board also paid 50 dollars for checked bags but ihadconfirmed with your airline theywereinyheprice along of gimethecrewwalkedpast with coffee withoutaski gif wanted one"
Pros: "The stewardess was super nice! On time and no problems."
Cons: "Bad gate idea to have so many flights going off at once. Very confusing when the intercom would get cut off because another plane would start boarding."
Pros: "Quick flight."
Cons: "The crew in Newark forced me to gate check my bag even though there were several empty overhead bins. I had 5 people in my party and we had only 2 bags. Absolutely STUPID."
Pros: "United seems to have simplified how it separates the boarding groups, so getting on the plane was well organized. The 787 aircraft was spacious and comfortable, which seems to put both passengers and crew in a good mood. Lots of entertainment options were available, so the three hour flight flew by. And we arrived early! A great experience on United."
Pros: "Agent at the gate"
Cons: "My seats changed so my son and I were not sitting together. The agent at the gate was wonderful and got us seated together. I had to use the restroom and the flight attendant seemed put out, and gave me a dirty look. She than ignored me and almost hit me with her cart."
Pros: "It was not full and the people and flight attendants were very nice."
Cons: "It left a bit late from EWR."
Pros: "TV and movie choices should be according to 2018 instead of1980. Also TV should be from running Era"
Pros: "The leg room and comfort in economy, for a 767, were surprisingly good but the quality of screen and entertainment was lacking. The screen on my iPhone is bigger than the screen on the seatback which if compared to other airlines is not up to the mark. The lack of facilities to charge things like ipads or iPhone was disappointing."
Cons: "The seat comfort was good as was the legroom in economy. The crew were friendly and helpful and I found the overall experience good. If Unitied could build on that and just offer power (even usb) and larger screens they would be onto a winner."
Cons: "Far away Gate"
Pros: "For once a United flight on timeh"
Pros: "Very comfortable flight"
Pros: "Despite sitting in the middle seat and being well over 6 feet, there was room."
Pros: "The TV shows and movie collection is good."
Cons: "Horrible food, no complimentary drinks on economy plus seats. UNITED lost my luggage again (2nd time this year)."
Pros: "easy"
Cons: "nothinh"
Cons: "Fellow passengers; too many howling kids with clueless parents"
Pros: "all smooth"
Pros: "Not a lot of positive to say"
Cons: "Ignorant, rude air hostess, two male hostess, double act the pair of them, if they had of been recorded they would be first today. As I said in my headline, if you hate your job that much find one that makes you happy, United need to do secret shopper experiences on their planes, to quality check their hostess, this cowboys are representing your company and its not good."
Pros: "The flight crew was courteous and efficient."
Cons: "The boarding time lasted an hour as the front desk staff at the gate insisted that I needed a visa travel document for my connection in China (multiple leg journey). What they failed to realize is that nobody needs a visa for China if they’re connecting in transit. It took a phone call and 3 staff members to sort things out. Not something that I want to deal with at 5:00 am. Moreover, due to the de icing, the flight was late and i just made it to my connecting flight in Newark. It was quite a hair-raising experience overall."

Pros: "service was great"
Pros: "Surprisingly tasty breakfast."
Cons: "Online check in didn't work. The site kept telling me I needed a visa although I chose the option that stated I had an ESTA. Also mt destination country was not in the list of countries and there was no way to fill it in. The check- in agent in Cairo was cheeky and unhelpful. I was told I couldn't get the aisle seat assignment that I had selected online when attempting to do the online check in. The crew also stated I couldn't switch to an aisle seat because " we are completely booked" although all 3 rows in front of me had empty aisle seats all the way from Cairo to Frankfurt so I was stuck in a middle seat which the person in front completely reclining their seat for 4 hrs. At 5'10" it was not only uncomfortable but a painful flight. Things improved somewhat from Frankfurt to Miami but was still pretty tight due to the reclining seats. Luckily I got an aisle seat on that leg and the middle seat next to me was open. There was no entertainment on the Cairo to Frankfurt leg."
Pros: "The entertainment was good on board"
Cons: "The cabin crew was a bit rude"
Pros: "Everything was excellent but the food could be better especially from Lagos to Frankfurt"
Cons: "They cancelled the flight and did not help at all for rescheduling."
Pros: "Ease of boarding, and a timely take off. The crew was attentive and professional. The entertainment available made the 9 hours go by quickly!"
Cons: "The food was edible but not the best. The bread was especially disappointing-- ice cold and doughy! I hate those reclining seats. When you have your meal tray down it is impossible to move."
Pros: "NOTHING!"
Cons: "EVERYTHING! They put us on a United flight. 11 hours on the plane with NO ENTERTAINMENT. They apologized at the end and told us to all fill out a complaint at united.com. I did and still haven't heard back. The flight attendants were rude and it was a horrible flight. Worst international flight I have taken in my life. And it was for an adoption appointment with a judge in Riga, and we barely made it."
Cons: "This was a United flight from SF to FRA. The food tasted horrible and I didn't eat any of it. Green Tea ice cream is a very unique flavor that not everyone likes. What's wrong with vanilla or chocolate, a more neutral, well-liked flavor? The dinner was over spiced and looked unappetizing. The breakfast look like someone threw up. I hate to sound so negative, but it was really awful. The flight, itself, was fine. Nice crew and smooth trip."
Pros: "Clean and comfortable aircraft."
Pros: "The aircraft was very clean."
Pros: "Clean, good pilots and quick"
Cons: "Food was bad"
Cons: "Umm. It was cancelled due to union workers striking. It was great to spend our last day in Barcelona stressing over whether we could get back home."
Pros: "Crew and flight were fine."
Cons: "Seating was cramped. Reclining seats are a bother. I'd love to see the seat ahead slide forward as it reclines to avoid invading the space for the passenger behind."
Pros: "very roomy seat for a small plane."
Cons: "Boarding occurred from two doors which caused long delays because people had to try and get by each other in the narrow isle. If they want to use two doors to load the plane they should at least direct the passengers that have seats at the back to go to the back and vice versa."
Pros: "The staff was so prompt and friendly"
Cons: "Cramped leg space, no entertainment"
Pros: "I have liked everything in lufthansa there was nothing to complain about thanks lufthansa for your respectful and helpful"
Pros: "A fast, smooth, and easy flight with a polite and efficient crew. The Frankfurt airport needs some type of internal transportation or reorganization because the size and shape make it a challenge to go through passport control and find your gate in time to transfer."
Cons: "The snack consisted of sugary packaged cookies. After waking at 6 a.m. to catch my flight, I would have preferred plain yogurt with fruit or muesli, or at least a nutritious nutty bar such as the KIND brand. The boarding consisted of everyone standing in a disorganized line next to another long line so that I was not sure if I was in the right place and felt nervous as the time to board drew near. Staff did not seem to be communicating what was happening and were not circulating. I had to ask fellow passengers if I was in the right line and on the right bus. We pushed away from the gate early. This worked against me at the beginning of my vacation when I missed my flight by 5 minutes due to the disorganized nature of the Frankfurt airport and its massive size."
Cons: "No entertainment"
Pros: "Got to sit in the top deck of the A380; Luftansa sets aside a small portion of the top deck for economy passengers. Flight was much quieter for economy passengers than on any other plane I've ever flown because the top deck is further from the engines. It was an extraordinary flight."
Cons: "Food was OK, but nothing special."
Cons: "their website did not allow changes nor did it provide a number to call"
Pros: "Everything was top notch… Wi-Fi, food, entertainment, comfort"
Pros: "Service was good. In flight selection of movies, music, tv etc was good. Flight camera was cool. Got a snack and drink in a 50 minute flight."
Pros: "Thank you very much for taking care of my mother she is 79 years old doesn't speak English. and needed wheel chair. and she was thrilled happy and very comfortable thruw all your flights. I want to thank you personally from the bottom of my heart because it's very hard for me to send her overseas with her condition and no language. you guys awesome thank you very much again."
Pros: "Entertainment."
Cons: "Staff was extremely sassy and unhelpful when I had been traveling for 40 hours."
Pros: "Check in smooth and professional. Please change places with Asia air so you are in front of rather than behind the hoard of people."
Cons: "On my flight from Seattle to Frankfurt I had one stewardess repeatedly skip me. She was a bit older. I thought after the first overlook she would take extra care but did not. This resulted in me having to ask the crew to repeat their previous steps just for me. "Hi, I know you are serving coffee but I wanted red wine". She was a bit clipped about having to repeat steps but what was I to do? She never looked up enough to see my hand and clearly didn't look at my face. She also didn't pick up my hand towel. I essentially had to rely on the rest of the crew but the care from this lady started to feel purposefully negligent of me. The rest of the staff was friendly and efficient. I also thought we were supposed to get an appertiff...one was never offered. Couldn't check in online. Was fine once I got to the countr but could you trade space with Asia air? It makes sense to have them at the end as they have a huge hoard of people it would be nice not to have to go through and several spots to check in. Check in at the desk otherwise was smooth and professional."
Cons: "I was seated next to a family with an autistic child. Because they had checked in late, they were seated separately. The autistic child was unsetted by having to sit separated from both parents, causing quite a commotion during the whole flight. I couldn't rest during the whole flight. Lufthansa should do a better job with accommodating the needs of special cases like this, preferably when they book the flight or before they board. SFO boarding was slow and confusing. There was a backup being caused by having to seat 6 or more passengers in a wheelchair. Then, I followed signs for boarding in Economy, which was at the front of the A380. I was forced to the aisles to the back of the plane, where I prompty collided with other passengers that were boarding the rear entrance of the plane. Why wasn't I just asked to board from the rear entrance to avoid the congestion?"
Pros: "Crew was nice"
Cons: "Seat pitch is miserable, amplified failings in food and internet access."
Cons: "I had tried to postpone my return date, but found it extremely inconvenient dealing with vayama, the service Kayak linked me to. I had to call them at their Amsterdam office to arrange a different itinerary, only to be emailed in the middle of the night with the news that that itinerary was no longer available, and a replacement one would cost much more. Sadly, I was not able to deal with Lufthansa directly. Doubt I would use vayama again."
Pros: "Check in staff were excellent Flight staff were also excellent Seating was fine for short flight"
Cons: "The boarding process was a little random but in the end worked out OK. Breakfast food was not great, but that's because I forgot to ask for a special meal and can't eat dairy."
Pros: "Courteous crew"
Pros: "Very positive and responsive crew! A fresh cup of coffee I received when I requested one was delicious. And,one of the crew members made me a cup of tea before they had started serving it."
Pros: "The frienliness of the crew, adecuate food, bathrooms in FRA-PHL leg."
Cons: "The frankfurt airport. Land on Gate A and had to walk 20 minutes to ger to gate Z (up and down escalators), the bathrooms in airplane from Ben Gurion to Frankfurt (very small and not enough head clearance at the toilet). The confort of seats on flight over 3 hours of sitting (I am 74 years old)."
Pros: "Very prompt, good food. We encourage trip very much!"
Pros: "My flight home from Belgrade reminded me why I miss flying this superior airline so much! It's too bad they don't do domesticate flights in the USA! A stellar crew of helpful attendants made sure my journey was enjoyable through and through.An exceptional airline."
Pros: "good amount of room on the plane"
Cons: "magazine on the plane is boring"
Pros: "I really enjoyed food and movies. Great crew members. Plane was very clean."
Cons: "Size of drinks."
Pros: "Pumpkin soup instead of a heavy entree was welcome and tasty. Breakfast yogurt portion was generous, the granola less so. Accompaniments were good. Butter was not ice cold, thank goodness."
Cons: "Inbelievably chaotic boarding process for Kili to Dar leg. No boarding lanes so had to fight through the crowd. Was able to observe cleaning process at Dar stop, which was cursory and am sure there was no cleaning of seats of those who boarded at Kili."
Pros: "Yes"
Cons: "Nothing. Flight was amazing"
Pros: "Crew is excellent, polite and personal!"
Cons: "Plane is super old and outdated. Comfort seat is not, comfortable, very tight. TV screen is not good quality, with the old controls on a handset. No touch, no 1/8 inch audio jack (it has the old 3 holes one). Wifi for streaming freezes every other second. Just make a face lift to the plane, everything else is good."
Pros: "I was sorted on Row 3 and the drapes kept hitting the back of my head."
Cons: "Move the drapes a few more inches back."
Pros: "Professional crew. Good simple check in."
Pros: "Great crew."
Cons: "Ran out of business class meal. Substituted a Econ class."
Pros: "Great plane and staff"
Cons: "Delayed"
Cons: "The flight was a bit delayed, but the airline handled it incredibly well. I was put up in a great hotel with good free food and caught another flight the next morning."
Pros: "General flight journey"
Pros: "Good beverage service."
Cons: "Over an hour delayj for departure."
Cons: "There was no wifi on flight"
Pros: "Checkin 1a at Schiphol had long lines, and no seperate counters for just bag drop. My family and I had to wait for 50 mins, to do a bag drop which in,y lasted 1 min! Flight was delayed, without proper announcements."
Cons: "Seat pitch could've been more. At least let us know via Whatsapp that the plane is delayed, or at which belt the bags would come out. This basic info was lacking."
Pros: "Everything was smooth and effortless."
Cons: "Can’t think of anything."
Pros: "The crew was attentive and the seat at economy comfort was comfortable at the “ok” level. It needs much mor3 to be super comfortable. The plug for the headphones was a mess! It was NOT possible to watch a movie and hear the sound too! I gave up! Not a great offering for the extra dollars..."
Cons: "So many things! Starting with the way assistance in the airport is offered to travellers with mobility issues! This is an important issue that needs to be revisited and changes for better service to be made!"
Pros: "It was all fine"
Cons: "Really was unsure of why I had to purchase a ticket as I was able to pick my own on the way to Billund"
Pros: "The earphones for out two seats only worked intermittently, but the Purser, Lee-Ann handled it professionally and pleasantly. That was the only disappointment in an otherwise pleasant flight"
Cons: "The earphones could have worked!"
Pros: "Seating is tight. The crew was great !"
Cons: "As we landed we had to wait on the plane for an hour and a half because another plane (Spirit) was in our “parking spot.” This made it very difficult for people and connecting flights."
Pros: "Crew was good"
Cons: "Too much light in the cabin because of too many screens on. Should have a separate part of the cabin with screens off allowing one to sleep more easily."
Pros: "Gaps between seats are very narrow."
Cons: "when serving drinks, cabin crew limited to serve liquor only once and it was poor service."
Pros: "Last year I flew Lufthansa which was my worst experience flying ever. I thought the new standard was so low I would never fly to Europe again. I had heard KLM was good but I felt this was as good as could be expected actually much better. The food was even good."
Cons: "I would have to dream something up."
Cons: "Landlords gave an unpleasant service! Which continued with late of 50min of the flight, they didn’t do anything to help/ to provide the passengers the answers. The food was cold It was comfort place to sit. Bad experience with KLM"
Pros: "Seat 39A did not recline. The gentleman next to me spread his arms out a bit as he typed on his computer the entire way. So I did not get ANY sleep. Plus he got up at least four times."
Cons: "Except for the man next to me - great!"
Pros: "Everything was clean and well organized."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 1 1/2 hours."
Pros: "The attention and service!! Excellent. It was my birthday and KLM the head purser surprised me with 2 bottles of bubbles and a handwritten birthday card KlM and the crew of this flight thank you very much !"
Cons: "Nothing to say"
Pros: "Nice flight ...was comfortable travel ...good food.Thanks"
Cons: "No such things"
Pros: "Food was excellent, frequent and filling"
Cons: "The seat was not comfortable compared to my prior leg of the journey. Unfortunately the bathrooms were not clean, I understand that it's not the sole responsibility of the crew and passengers need to be mindful too."
Pros: "Wifi on Board"
Pros: "The aircraft felt clean and quite spacious (decent legroom). Cabin crew was friendly and everything went as expected. Bonus points for the Beemster cheese sandwich (I was totally disappointed when they served the food, but more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cheese - I even bought some afterwards, from the Albert Heijn just outside the security area)."
Cons: "Very odd queue separation at boarding. Passengers were divided in 5 lanes, depending on their seating area withing the plane (for a more efficient boarding, I presume) but, by the time we all got to the actual aircraft, we formed another queue in the boarding bridge so it didn't feel like any time was saved or anything."
Cons: "... ear plugs, masks, good food or even picking seats? I remember when it was all complementary and standard on overnight flights. Oh, and the vegetarian breakfast was unfortunately poor as well. I know you can do better, because you used to."
Cons: "Delay can occur sometimes but it wiuld be better to be explained its reason and the estimated time for boarding. The customer service at CDG airport was the worst ever and all people standing boarding desk were useless without any mind what they are doing."
Pros: "Fabulous trip with friendly, helpful staff"
Pros: "Crew was very nice and helpful, entertainment system worked well and had good choices"
Cons: "Seats were not very comfortable, it was uncomfortably hot and there was not air conditioner vent above like most other airlines"
Pros: "Food was good and crew members were very nice"
Cons: "My check in luggage was in very bad condition when I receive it. My clothes were all wet and they got bab by each other’s colour. Many clothes are not in a condition to wear now. Those were expensive and I had a big loss because of that."
Cons: "Missing wheel chairs swrvice lounge far away no food option just lame klm tipique"
Cons: "Boarding was a free for all. The travelers did not pay attention to the priorities."
Pros: "Got to Amsterdam on time and everything was great including the staff"
Pros: "Short-hop flight, fit for purpose."
Pros: "Cabin crew very pleasant"
Cons: "Lost our bags, little sympathy from staff"
Pros: "Equally friendly crew and experience. It was complimented by the time we got to spend in the fantastic KLM lounge while we waited for the flight."
Cons: "Service"
Pros: "The flight was delayed by 40 minutes initially then a further 20 making it an hour late. Sitting at the gate there was then suddenly a last call to board the flight and a mad rush for everyone to get on. I appreciate that delays happen but the lack of communication ragardinh altered boarding times didn't make the situation any easier"
Cons: "As above"
Cons: "The crew on the Lagos Amsterdam route (in economy) are particularly unfriendly and brusque. This is my experience each time i fly this route in economy"
Pros: "Staff, service"
Pros: "The flight crew were kind, polite, and attentive."
Cons: "Bussing to the plane was a bit odd, but the crew remained organized in doing so. When we arrived to the plane, they had both entrances open so that those sitting near the rear of the plane would enter from the back. Plane was a little chilly, but I have come to expect that one most flights."
Pros: "Flight was quick, professional, friendly."
Pros: "There was no flight! So it's one thing that you have to cancel the flight because of fog; but rebooking us the next day on a flight through New York that doesn't exist, was way below the standard of care I would expect from any airline. Apparently, the NY to LAX flight that KLM booked us on, was only one leg of the flight to Sydney Australia; and according to some airline agreement, only Australian nationals are permitted to take that flight! Running around at JFK from terminal four, to terminal seven, to terminal eight, back to terminal four, to get a flight out, was a bit much considering how tired we were – not to mention hungry, since KLM neglected to provide the kosher meals we had requested with plenty of time – BOTH going to and returning from Europe."
Pros: "On time."
Cons: "Claiming that the plane was completely full (which it wasn't), They forced just about everyone to check there carry ons. When we got on board, there was plenty of overhead space. Supposedly, we should've have been allowed a carryon and a personal item."
Pros: "There's almost no padding to them and they're very narrow. I know it's nothing new but I'll keep complaining until something changes, if ever."
Cons: "The crew was wonderful, the food was extremely good for economy cabin standards."
Pros: "Left on time, arrived ahead of time. Baggage arrived very promptly. Seats comfortable."
Cons: "Very limited movie choices on inflight entertainment. Seatbelt short, unable to keep secured except sitting straight in seat. No food which is now typical most domestic flights 4 hours or less."
Pros: "Fantastic crew!"
Pros: "They were very helpful and polite."
Cons: "Times have changed and they offer very little such as entertainment food options. but it was short trip and people need to adjust."
Pros: "The crew was very nice"
Cons: "Seats are uncomfortable and there’s no tv for entertainment."
Pros: "It booked the wrong date and I had to repurchase the ticket. So all the savings were lost plus a ton more. Last time I use this service."
Cons: "The date and flight I picked were the right ones. I’m sure it was my own fault so it is what it is. I’ll just book through the airlines directly and pay the extra money and ensure the flight is the day I picked."
Pros: "We were a little cramped in, but overall it was nice."
Cons: "Not much. It was a quick flight overall."
Pros: "Average"
Cons: "Two of the most important things to me in travelling by air are getting through security as quick it’s possible ie the priory line; and a lounge. Traveling and paying for Plus provides neither. Back to Air Canada Business Class or AC Rouge Premium. Going to have to pick up your game WestJet"
Cons: "Missed my connection"
Pros: "very organized crew. everything ran soothly and on time. crew was polite to parents with children on board"
Cons: "how quick it was over!"
Cons: "Flight was delayed an hour which isnt horrible but then had to sit on the plane an additional hour waiting for take off. I barely made my connecting flight in Calgary. They should have held that plane because i know the elderlt women next to didnt make it. Staff were not attentive enough. Buzzed them servial times and no response."
Pros: "Easy boarding and checkin."
Cons: "Entertainment doesn't work on laptop - only on phone or tablet. Westjet seating is tight."
Cons: "Early on first flight on arrival but late departing by 30 mins due to westjet delay of crew"
Pros: "West jet staff helpful on plane accommodating my husbands eed for more space."
Cons: "Our seats were pre booked by west jet in a window and center seat my husband is 6’5 and needs to have an aisle seat. We were charged to change these."
Pros: "The trip served its purpose in getting us from point A to B. Good"
Cons: "Plane was delayed. Wanted to sleep during flight but couldn’t because flight attendants were chatting loudly amongst themselves"
Pros: "Great price"
Pros: "Crew and staff are pleasant."
Cons: "There was a typo in my reservation (either a WJ problem or a Kayak problem). As a result I couldn't do an online checkin and ended up getting a middle seat at the airport."
Cons: "no refund at all worst outcome"
Cons: "WestJet seems unable to stick to a schedule. Three of my four flights were delayed and a connector flight through Toronto was cancelled altogether just after midnight, leaving me stranded at Pearson Airport. The ground crew were disorganized and unable to provide clear answers – other than their complete assurance that WestJet bore no responsibility for providing hotel accommodation."
Pros: "Fun crew. Short flight"
Cons: "Flight was late leaving. Our connecting flight was already boarding when we arrived. I would have liked the 25 mins we were supposed to have."
Cons: "I had to travel with a wedding dress. Westjet does will NOT replace lost Wedding dresses therefore they MUST be carried onto the plane. once on the plane there is no where to hang the wedding dress. The flight attendant was kind enough to take it from me and STUFF it in the over head compartment :( I was furious!"
Pros: "The flight staff were very friendly and helpful upon boarding. Once landed even the pilot was standing in view and say good bye. Thanks again!"
Cons: "First flight on WestJet in 3 Years. Didn’t like not knowing I needed a tablet or laptop and an app to watch tv. Offered a drink and asked for water. Received about 2 ounces. Every body around me ordered soft drinks and got a 10 ounce can"
Pros: "Everyone was very nice"
Cons: "It was cold on the plane!"
Cons: "Cramped seating configuration."
Cons: "Thanks"
Cons: "The stewardess (Stephanie was her name I think) grabbed my arm and pushed it out of her way rather than asking me to move. While it may sound dramatic, I am certainly not accustomed to a stranger putting their hands on me and it was hugely inappropriate and ruined my flight. This was my first WestJet flight after flying countless times with Air Canada. The whole experience was soured and I will never look at WestJet the same again."
Cons: "Non comfortable cold sensation."
Pros: "GREAT CREW"
Cons: "BOARDING FROM OUTSIDE-VERY COLD OUT IF I KNEW I WAS BOOKED ON A PROP PLANE I WOULD HAVE BOOKED DIRECT SEAT SIZE-CRAMPPED-I ASK THE GUY BESIDE ME IF HE WANTED THE AILSE BECAUSE HE WAS TALL AND SQUISHED CALL ME ANYTIME 306-551-3251 THAT WAY I WILL KNOW THE VALUE OF THIS SURVEY"
Pros: "The staff and comfort."
Cons: "Overcrowded"
Pros: "Friendly crew and good entertainment"
Cons: "The delay, I don’t know if I’ll be getting a discount or not on a future flight because of it. Original flight was canceled too."
Pros: "West jet employees worked hard to fix the mess they caused. Eventually getting me a ticket for another airline."
Cons: "Changed my flights with less than 3h notice. I’d payed extra to reduce wait times as I was flying with a child just over 2. Originally had me coming in to Vancouver at 9 am and leaving at 5:40pm. Not cool with a young child. Allmost missed the 1st flight getting it fixed, they also didn’t book my child in adjacent seats, despite pre-booking the seats on the flight days before."
Pros: "Quick boarding, good customer service, and friendly staff."
Cons: "When I booked online it was a little unclear that I would have to pay extra to check a bag. No problem but would make a better customer experience if I had been aware of this"
Cons: "Some more food options"
Pros: "Cabin crew was good,"
Cons: "The seats where not compfie"
Pros: "The roominess, service, food.....all excellent"

Cons: "Toronto airport needs proper signage. I got lost and wasted my half an hour to just find a transist to downtown."
Pros: "Pleasant staff"
Cons: "Crowded seating"
Pros: "Comfortable seat with lots of leg room"
Cons: "I was able to download the WestJet Connect app on my phone which gives you access to tv shows and movies to watch on your own device during the flight. The app was free and easy to use and there was a decent selection. However, the wifi on board is not free so even though you could watch the tv show/movie - the sound did not work unless you paid for it. There are many other airlines that offers everything for free - it would have been a more pleasant if we were able to actually utilize the service."
Pros: "The friendliest crew ever!"
Cons: "Hard seats no padding extrely uncomfortable"
Pros: "Great crew, West jet connect worked fabulously"
Cons: "Cramped space and airplane food"
Pros: "No stops,"
Cons: "Cramped."
Cons: "Tight seats"
Pros: "Everything was excelente very nice personal."
Cons: "It was as if the baggage fell of somewhere from the plane and came in contact with water."
Cons: "Flight was late leaving ywg"
Pros: "Awesome crew, chill experience !"
Pros: "Quiet flight in fairly empty flight"
Cons: "food choices, no blanket"
Cons: "Food is awful if you compare with other major airlines products. Very old plane"
Pros: "The flight attendant"
Cons: "During serving food-i was sitting on the aisles in the middle chairs-some times they served me from the far away."
Cons: "I didn't like the food at all, and couldn't complete it."
Pros: "Comfortable seat - great service"
Pros: "lots of leg room and entertainment program has lots more choices to choose."
Pros: "The ✈️ and timing"
Cons: "Amounts of food is ridiculously little for someone who gets hungry fast"
Pros: "Flying with Lufthansa as usual was another great experience! The staff at Pearson was helpful. The crew was awesome. Overall happy. But NOT with Kayak."
Cons: "The booking with Kayak was a disappointment! After booking, kayak informed me that I will receive confirmation from LH. I did. There it said 1 piece of luggage is free. However, at the airport I was told that bc I booked with Kayak there are other regulations. The LH receipt where it said FREE didn't count. I paid 60$ per luggage per person. I was mislead!"
Pros: "Friendly crew."
Cons: "Being 6' 4'' becomes an issue with modern seats."
Pros: "The pods were great on 777"
Cons: "Couldn't plug in CPAP"
Pros: "I liked the movie selection, the service, and food/drinks."
Cons: "With a 20 minute layover, I barely made the flight and my checked bags/luggage did not make it. This had a horrible influence on my trip and I am heavily disappointed in Air Canada."
Pros: "The tvs are awesome! They are new and have touchscreens that are actually well designed and can scroll etc. Resolution and sound are great, so I actually feel like I watched my movie and didn't just look at moving blurs with half the dialogue missing. Also the USB ports are great. And the brownie with the meal was delicious."
Cons: "Only one meal on a >9 hour flight, plus one snack which was an uninspiring-looking rectangle of cold pumpkin loaf (it tasted good, but after 7.5 hours in the air it'd be nice to get something more appealing). Other airlines give two meals. It's ridiculous that Air Canada insists on being so stingy with the food."
Pros: "The crew was professional and polite"
Pros: "Very little"
Cons: "Departure lunge has bizarre layout. Most seating is in cafe's. No separate seatin area for boarding meant a melee around the gate blocking th path of people walking passed. Premium Economy seats were hard and uncomfortable, meals were below par and the entertainment system sound was shot. I tried three seats and each were unintelligible. Crew was less than stellar."
Pros: "Overall it was a quick and painless flight. The crew was friendly and we had no problems!"
Pros: "Clean and comfortable cabin"
Cons: "Brusque nature of some of the attendants"
Pros: "Nice new plane Decent food Very clean Friendly staff Ok entertainment"
Cons: "People had a lot of bags, and their zone boarding concept means I got on last and little to no room for my one average carry on..."
Cons: "Flight delay"
Pros: "Easy flight , no late"
Pros: "There we're many open seats due to a problem with connecting flights, so my son was able to stretch out across the middle chairs to sleep."
Cons: "the food portions we're small, and we only had a small muffin towards the end of the flight. Ive never left an international flight hungry before. I was shocked that we did not have an actual meal at the end of the 8 hour flight."
Cons: "The seats were VERY cramped, especially for an overnight flight."
Pros: "good entertainment choices"
Cons: "I was on a transatlantic flight overnight, and in coach. Not enough room to get comfortable."
Cons: "I paid for a flight on a Lufthansa plane, not an Air Canada plane. There was a two hour delay on the flight that I was not informed about. There was also no organization for boarding the plane, and you had two flights going to the same place boarding at the same time."
Pros: "Friendly staff"
Cons: "The boarding was a serious problem as there were no well defined waiting areas for over 400 people to board, blocking the way for other people to walk around the gates. The Toronto airport decided to board two flights to Frankfurt by two different airlines directly next to each other at about the same time, leading to lots of confusion. My frustration was increased by the fact that the airline managed to forget my luggage at transfer, while my travel companions was "just" delayed. during flight while the service was good, the quality of food was very low. The frustration was even further increased , the through the delay of the plane and the luggage problems our rental car reservation was expired as they only hold cars for 1 hour after scheduled reservation. The later not the fault of the airline, but i will certainly consider other airlines and rental car companies in my future Travel consideration unless the return trip experience changes my mind."
Cons: "We left 2 hrs. late. I had only 45 min. to catch my connection in Frankfurt. Had to run through that huge airport with a broken toe!"
Pros: "cruising slightly high to avoid turbulence, the way from Toronto to Winnipeg we were flying on altitude 26,000 and then 30,000 feet. on west jet we were flying on altitude 39,000 feet with less turbulence. thanks"
Cons: "Delay in Our connection in Toronto caused us to miss the connection in Frankfurt - not because we couldn't run, but because it left before our delayed plane arrived. Then they gave us Stand By tickets for their problem. No exaggeration: The crew rolled a beverage cart in front of the restroom while I was in there. I couldn't leave for about 4 minutes The food made me vomit. That's why I was in the restroom when they blocked me in My headset jack was broken. 500 movies aren't worth anything if I can't hear them"
Cons: "Same movies"
Pros: "The flight was comfortable. The food was surprisingly good. Entertainment choices were varied and generous."
Cons: "My only complaint was that directions were unclear in the transfer flight. Travelers with a transfer in Canada did not have to go through the long customs line, but this was not at all clear, with signage or staff. It was a bit scary with a tight connection and a huge crowd at customs."
Pros: "The saftey"
Cons: "They are so incompetent that they had us arriving in Germany on May 3 and connecting on May 2. We had to have the ticket rewritten TWICE."
Pros: "Crew very attending, helpful."
Cons: "Was upgraded, so higher level of satisfaction"
Pros: "Check in was excellent"
Cons: "Flight was 4 and half hours late for weather and mechanical reasons. Airline responded very well but such a long delay is annoying"
Pros: "Service good"
Pros: "Nice for a long flight - attendants and entertainment was as nice as possible"
Cons: "What else can be said for airline food that has been left untold"
Cons: "Impossible to reserve seat when booking my f not booked on the air ananda website Very cheap food and no food selection on board ( intercontinental flights) I fly 25/30 intercontinental per year... I had never happened to find such a poor company around. very disappointing"
Pros: "The crew was polite and helpful, good entertainment choices."
Cons: "We are retired adults and seated with at least a dozen young children around us, it was so loud. The two year old next to me kicked me off and on the whole flight."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable. Flight was smooth. Food and snacks were good."
Cons: "Flight attendants were not accommodating whatsoever. One almost ran my head over with the cart as I was leaning down getting something out of my bad when they were zooming by. She did not say sorry and another passenger said she was laughing after. Another attendant scolded me loudly in front of other passengers because I accidentally threw away a lid from the food tray into a garbage bag I put all my trash in and then wanted me to dig it out. I asked him if he could since he had gloves on and I did not and he scoffed loudly telling me to never do it again. Another passenger said to me while on the fligh that she saw how rude they were being to me and that she was sorry. I was almost in tears because I was so embarrassed."
Pros: "On time or early"
Pros: "All was good."
Pros: "The plane was thoroughly clean, new interior, and state of the art technology in every seat. The service was prompt, but I was not as impressed with it. I am allergic to nuts and questioned if the food they served contained nuts. The attendant told me she could not guarantee there was not and showed no empathy in the situation. The attendants did not smile as much and had flat affects. Aside from that, the flight was smooth and wonderful. It was the best flight I have ever gone on!"
Cons: "Lack of knowledge and empathy regarding food allergies and what their food contains."
Pros: "On the plus side, the service was great."
Cons: "There is just not enough space in the seats! I am not a tiny person and my trip was not helped by the fact that the seats are too narrow to comfortably seat people larger than a size 10!"
Pros: "The information screen did not work... Air Canada booth at Winnipeg staff excellent.. Calgary terrible"
Pros: "Everything was great"
Pros: "It was excellent with every step. Liked it very much Syed parvez"
Pros: "Food is satisfactory."
Cons: "Seats in Executive First are lie flat but uncomfortable for sleeping perhaps due to insufficient cushioning and coarse fabric. The crew is sub par as always and becomes a glaring miss compared to other airlines, especially given my comparison with Lufthansa for a connecting flight. The entertainment systems are poor as well, both in screen resolution, controls and somewhat lacklustre programming. The business class is not good value, not because I would travel economy, but given a choice I’d pick business class on another airline."
Pros: "It was fine"
Pros: "Food was better than expected"
Cons: "I always wonder why they load planes front to back, seems it would be more efficient back to front"
Pros: "Nothing to like"
Cons: "Everything could be better. From the boarding process to the on board service."
Pros: "I like that they serve after dinner drinks which will help me to sleep on the plane. Their blankets are better than United. It was a safe flight and I was able to charge my cell phone. I paid for texting and that worked fine for the entire flight. Even with short layover my luggage made it."
Cons: "I was in the last row so it wasn't as comfortable but there were no other aisle seats available. Food was okay but the red wine could have been better."
Pros: "Crew wasn’t very friendly. Seemed as if customer experience is no longer a goal. Could do with some smiles & improved service. Seat was comfortable though & pilots did a wonderful job flying. Great take-off & Landing."
Cons: "They should have stopped the connecting flight when we got delayed."
Pros: "Excellent crew excellent a young small brunette was not very friendly or accommodating. Otherwise the whole crew would have gotten 5 starts. Everything else was wonderful!"
Cons: "Get Russian language selection in entertainment"
Pros: "Food and entertainment"
Cons: "Flight was delayed due to weather"
Pros: "The crew were very welcoming and took care of passengers very well"
Cons: "Not sure as I really liked this flight leg"
Pros: "Wifi is expensive but at least it was available."
Pros: "The boarding was smooth. Flight arrived early into Frankfurt."
Cons: "The food was mediocre. Economy seats are just uncomfortable."
Pros: "Fantastic"
Cons: "Super"
Pros: "got rescheduled by no reason !"
Cons: "follow the rules"
Pros: "The flight was smooth and we arrived safely."
Cons: "When we went to check in (right at 24 hours), our family of three was separated across the plane in middle seats—and they wouldn’t seat us together unless we paid extra to upgrade our ticket. The ticket agent said the plane was full and there was nothing they could do. It was very frustrating."
Pros: "Extremely smooth flight. Staff were very attentive."
Cons: "Meal was average. Seats did not recline enough to facilitate sleep."
Pros: "Food and crew were good"
Cons: "Our plane left late which equalled missing our connecting flight which equalled almost missing our window to pick up our car rental. Timely boarding and accommodation/coordination with connecting flight could have been handled better"
Pros: "Excellent on board cabin service"
Cons: "Gate boarding announcements we're difficult to hear and understand."
Pros: "D"
Pros: "On time departures and landings"
Cons: "Food was horrible! Vegetables so overcooked they were almost liquid. Overly salted. Best thing was Chobani yogurt... pre done by Chobani."
Pros: "New seats and amenities extremely comfortable"
Cons: "Every thing I will never fly with United"
Pros: "The crew was very nice, attentive and brought extra water without asking."
Cons: "I do not like the "something Asian chicken- or pasta" selection, never taste good."
Cons: "No help, and after hold of 45 min, representative hang up on me. I lost a ticket because of very bad customer service!"
Cons: "We were forced to deplane in DC and instructed to go to the United customer service counter to arrange our missed connections in Frankfurt. After standing in line at the United counter for 2 hours, we were told to go to our gate to re-board our plane. we wasted all that time standing and all but 2 agents had left the counter to take a break. it was EXTREMELY STRESSFUL not knowing what would happen to our missed connections. when we reboarded WE still did not have connecting flights.Also, on the United flight to Frankfurt, I had a premium economy seat and it was HORRIFIC. the extra leg room did NOT make the seat more comfortable and I SUFFERED greatly because I am recovering from an injury. Upon arrival in Frankfurt, after a great deal of begging, I got a hotel room for the night and upgrad to economy premium for the flight from Frankfurt to Addis. that Lufthana flight was better because my seat reclined somewhat but still I had a great deal of pain throughout the flight and I would have preferred to have been upgraded to business so that I could lay flat to ease my physical pain. Overall, the experience was extremely STRESSFUL and painful and the only way, I feel that Lufthana can repair this situation is to give me a free upgrade to business on my flight home.to Miami"
Pros: "An old 777 , dirty and the food was horrible."
Pros: "We liked our friendly and attentive flight attendants, and our safe travel to our destination. Thank you!"
Pros: "Crew on board was professional."
Cons: "Plane was delayed over two hours due to mechanical issues. I missed my connections. Three separate United employees assure me I'd be rebooked for onward travel. I was sent to three different counters regarding my onward travel - sent from terminal to terminal. No onward travel was resolved and I eventually just paid for a train onward. I was told this was because it was a weather delay but at the boarding gate multiple announcements were made about repairing the plane and replacing batteries. United deliberately wasted my time and never fulfilled their obligations to get me to my destination. (Additionally, wifi and entertainment was not functional the entire 11 hour flight)"
Pros: "Everything was fine on the flight. Crew was friendly, entertainment options were good and free beer and wine on international flights."
Cons: "Of course the food was awful and the boarding area, 125 to be exact was a complete mess. They try to separate 5 groups in 1 small corner with seating and the counter in the way. Total and mass chaos"
Pros: "boarding, entertainment, bulkhead seat (extra legroom)"
Cons: "narrow seat"
Pros: "I lie the variety of movies available."
Cons: "Nothing to not like. Flight landed earlier than scheduled."
Pros: "Great food, friendly crew"
Cons: "Terrible seats"
Pros: "Flight was very smooth and timely"
Cons: "Wifi didn't work properly. Couldn't watch anything entirely. Frankfurt Airport is poor logistically"
Cons: "We requested Asian vegetarian meal but messed up. That was very pain."
Pros: "Food during a 2-hour flight compared to what United provided in a 7 or 8 hour flight"
Cons: "I am a like-all man unless misbehaved"
Pros: "All other airlines let you check in online and choose seats. Entertainment was really bad. Could hardly see anything on screen.food was nothing great. Portions were small"
Cons: "Better service"
Cons: "Flight from Newark under United was not pleasant!"
Pros: "The flight left on time"
Cons: "Baggage fees were very high for an extra bag. Service on the flight was overall ok. Boarding was slow and a little annoying. Gate agents were rude"
Pros: "Earlier than scheduled. Enough space."
Pros: "Noting"
Cons: "Bought the ticket from Lufthansa but the operator was United. Although it was known by the operator that there is a delay already at check-in, passengers where notified only at the gate. Delay was so long that most passengers would miss their connection. After standing an hour in line at the gate to book alternate connection, counter was closed and we were directed to another 10 min walk away. After another 1.5 hours without reaching a representative we had to rush back to the gate to board. In Frankfurt had to stay in standby for the next alternative flight. Luggage was delayed in the US for 2 more days."
Pros: "I liked the Lufthansa flights using Airbus Aircraft the entertainment system is the best."
Cons: "The entertainment system on the boeing planes is not necessarily the best, the screens are smaller, the selection of movies is not upto date and even Live TV does not work"
Pros: "The crew was very polite."
Cons: "The tvs didn't show the movies properly the sound and screens would stop, and skip ahead. Impossible to watch or understand."
Pros: "The communication was great. The taking off and landing was great"
Cons: "The food was mediocre and I was not given a choice. They ran out of chicken and the only food they had left was pork that seemed like can food. Breakfast was dry croissant with yogurts."
Pros: "None"
Cons: "-It said you can watch the movie using your personal device using WIFI; 99% the WIFI will drop or not working at all."
Cons: "I have a very strong advice to United: do not take off late! Period! Another one: people who bought their tickets together want to sit together. And ,yes this is YOUR responsibility, and not the customer. Remember this and your company may survive."
Cons: "The 777-200 is geting old"
Pros: "Two out of three pieces of luggage lost. You fall out of love after that. No matter what they do."
Cons: "The flight was run by United with an older aircraft The chairs were very small and didn't have entertainment tv. The food was okay."
Cons: "The flight was operated by United, but there was no clear indication that it was so and so checking in at the Lufthansa desk was pointless. Seats are extremely tight and the entertainment system is outdated."
Pros: "Very little to like"
Cons: "First : I bought Lufthansa tickets but was flown w United. Rude staff terrible food and unbearable seating no tv monitors per seat. I travel to Europe 4 time a year... This was without question the worse"

Nominated for best newcomer at the 2014 Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
Tour/Gig dates
Exporting Sunny D to America
Fox network orders a pilot script based on Dane Baptiste's sitcom
Dane Baptiste’s BBC sitcom Sunny D could be getting an American remake.
The show ran for just four episodes on the BBC Three iPlayer channel in 2016, following a Comedy Feed pilot, but was positively received by critics.
Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans and Saladin K Patterson – who has written on The Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men – are now adapting it for the US, Deadline reports.
The entertainment industry website says the Fox network has ordered a pilot script, with a financial penalty to pay if they don’t pick up the show.
Sunny D revolves around sensitive millennial Dane, still living with his parents, struggling in a job he hates and at odds with his Caribbean-born, old-school dad. The original made heavy use of cutaways to set it apart from a conventional narrative sitcom.

Researchers Find Cause of Rare, Fatal Disease That Turns Babies’ Lips and Skin Blue
Mouse Models Developed with CRISPR Technology Lead to Possible Nanoparticle Treatment
This confocal microscopic image shows FOXF1 deficient fetal mouse lung cells. FOXF1 deficiency inhibits the normal development and proliferation of lung cells and helps cause a fatal disease in infants called Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with Misalignment of Pulmonary Veins. Researchers report in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Therapy they identified a potential nanoparticle therapy for the disease.
Credit: Cincinnati Children’s
Scientists used a gene editing method called CRISPR/Cas9 to generate mice that faithfully mimic a fatal respiratory disorder in newborn infants that turns their lips and skin blue. The new laboratory model allowed researchers to pinpoint the ailment’s cause and identify a potential and desperately needed nanoparticle-based treatment.
Mostly untreatable, Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with Misalignment of Pulmonary Veins (ACDMPV) usually strikes infants within a month of birth, according researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, who publish findings in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The disease starves the pulmonary system of oxygen after the lung’s blood vessels don’t form properly during organ development. The lack of tiny blood vessels called alveolar capillaries causes hypoxia, inflammation and death.
“There are no effective treatments other than a lung transplant, so the need for new therapeutics is urgent,” said Vlad Kalinichenko, MD, PhD, at the Cincinnati Children’s Perinatal Institute Center for Lung Regenerative Medicine and lead study investigator. “We developed a new nanoparticle therapeutic strategy to increase the number of alveolar capillaries and help preserve respiratory function for at least a subset of the babies with this congenital lung disease.”
The disease has long been linked to mutations in the FOXF1 gene, an important regulator of embryonic lung development. The remaining mystery until this study is precise microbiological processes that fuel ACDMPV, according to the researchers.
Uncovering the STAT3 Connection
In collaboration with the team of Pawel Stankiewicz, MD, at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, the Kalinichenko lab analyzed genetic information from human ACDMPV cases to generate the first clinically relevant animal model of ACDMPV. They used CRISPR/Cas9 to recreate human FOXF1 mutations in the mouse. CRISPR-Cas9 allows precise gene editing by using an enzyme to cut out specific sections of a DNA sequence and reattaching the loose ends at a desired point to change a cell’s genetic makeup.
Having clinically accurate mouse models of disease ACDMPV allowed the scientists to overcome a longtime hurdle to understanding how the disease develops, authors write.
The work also relied on extensive bioinformatics analyses of clinical and laboratory data from biological tests. This includes a technique called ChIP-Seq (which analyzes protein-DNA interactions), and whole exome sequencing (which reveals the arrangement of all protein-coding regions of genes).
By studying protein-DNA interactions linked to the FOXF1 gene in pulmonary cells, study authors found a specific point mutation involving FOXF1 at the S52F DNA binding location of FOXF1’s nuclear protein. The mutation blocked molecular signaling to multiple downstream target genes involved in formation of pulmonary blood vessels.
They also discovered that the S52F FOXF1 mutant protein did not interact with a protein called STAT3. The link is critical to stimulating the development of blood vessels in the neonatal lung. This led to a deficiency of STAT3 in developing lungs and improper formation of the pulmonary circulatory system.
Researchers also found STAT3 deficiency in donated samples from ACDMPV patients who had specific point mutations in the FOXF1 gene. The authors theorized that treating newborn mice with STAT3 would stimulate blood vessel development in the lungs, but they had to figure out how to get the protein to the lungs.
STAT3 Nanoparticle Solution
Researchers turned to nanoparticle technology to deliver a STAT3 mini-gene to lungs of newborn mice. They created a novel formulation for what are known as polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles.
The gelatin-like PEI nanoparticles can carry therapeutic genetic material to different parts of the body by administering them to patients intravenously. Different formulations of PEI nanoparticles are currently being tested in clinical trials for adult cancer at other institutions, according to study authors.
Therapeutic administration of STAT3 DNA to newborn mice with the S52F FOXF1 mutation restored the ability of endothelial cells to form pulmonary blood vessels. This stimulated blood vessel growth in the animals and the formation of air sacs called alveolar.
“If the efficacy of PEI nanoparticles is confirmed in the clinical trials under way for adult cancer, PEI could be considered for STAT3 gene therapy in infants with ACDMPV,” Kalinichenko said. “Considering that ACDMPV is a rare disease, a multicenter clinical trial would be needed to assess the efficacy of STAT3 gene therapy in ACDMPV newborns and infants.”
The study’s first author is Arun Pradhan, PhD, a researcher who works in the Kalinichenko laboratory.
Funding support for the study came from the National Institutes of Health (HL84151, HL141174, HL123490, HL137203, HL132849 and grants from the National Organization for Rare Disorders.

Sexual orientation and transgender identity hate crime
This advice applies to England
If someone has been violent or hostile towards you because of your sexual orientation, this is known as a homophobic hate incident.
Hostile or violent incidents because of your transgender identity are known as transphobic hate incidents.
Hate incidents can happen anywhere. Sometimes you may know the person who attacked you, but often hate incidents are carried out by strangers.
Read this page to find out more about homophobic or transphobic hate crime and incidents and what you can do about it.
What is a homophobic or transphobic hate incident?
Something is a homophobic or transphobic hate incident if the victim or anyone else thinks it was carried out because of hostility or prejudice based on sexual orientation or transgender identity.
This means that if you believe something is a hate incident, it should be recorded as this by the person you are reporting it to.
Sexual orientation and transgender identity refer to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT).
Who can be the victim of a homophobic or transphobic hate incident?
Anyone can be the victim of a homophobic or transphobic hate incident.
You can be the victim of a homophobic or transphobic hate incident if someone believes you’re a LGBT person even though you’re not. You can also be the victim of a hate incident because of your association with members of the LGBT communities.
What type of incidents can be a homophobic or transphobic hate incident
Homophobic and transphobic hate incidents can take many forms including:
verbal and physical abuse
physical violence
threatening behaviour
damage to property.
It can be a one-off incident or part of an ongoing campaign of harassment or intimidation.
Hate incidents are not only carried out by strangers. It could be carried out by a carer, a neighbour, a teacher or someone you consider a friend.
When is a homophobic or transphobic hate incident also a hate crime?
When a homophobic or transphobic hate incident becomes a criminal offence, it’s known as a hate crime. There are no specific homophobic or transphobic hate crimes. Any criminal offence can be a hate crime, if the offender targeted you because of their prejudice or hostility against LGBT people.
When someone is charged with a homophobic or transphobic hate crime, the judge can impose a tougher sentence on the offender under the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
Remember, the incident you’ve suffered may still be a crime even if it’s difficult to show it was carried out because of hostility based on sexual orientation or transgender identity.
What you can do about a homophobic or transphobic hate incident or crime?
If you’ve experienced a homophobic or transphobic hate incident or crime you can report it to the police. You can also report a hate incident or crime even if it wasn’t directed at you. For example, you could be a friend, neighbour, family member, support worker or simply a passer-by.
If you’re being repeatedly harassed by the same person or group of people, it’s best to report all the hate incidents you experience to help the police get the full picture.
When reporting the incident or crime you should say you think it was motivated by hostility or prejudice based on sexual orientation or transgender identity.
Incidents at work
If you’ve experienced acts of hostility or harassment because of sexual orientation or transgender identity at work, you may have a discrimination claim under the Equality Act 2010.
Check if your problem at work is discrimination.
Incidents at or near home
Many homophobic or transphobic hate incidents happen near the victim’s home. For example, you may be repeatedly harassed or intimidated by neighbours or local youths. People may be throwing things like rubbish in your garden or damaging your property. Sometimes, disputes with neighbours escalate into verbal or physical abuse.
You can report these incidents to the police. There are also other things you can do to stop these acts.
You can get your local authority or landlord to take action under their anti-social behaviour powers. You can also take civil court action to get compensation and an order to stop the perpetrator continuing with the behaviour under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
More about anti-social behaviour
Incidents at or near school
When bullying is motivated by hostility or prejudice based on disability, it can be a hate incident. Bullying in itself is not a criminal offence. But if it’s serious enough, it could also be a hate crime. Bullying includes cyber bullying.
If you’ve experienced homophobic or transphobic bullying, the school should deal with it under their behaviour policy. They should also co-operate with the police and social services if they become involved.
If the school fails to deal with the bullying, you may have a discrimination claim under the Equality Act 2010. You may also be able to challenge the schools failure to act under their public sector equality duty.

MAKING HISTORY FOR OVER 100 YEARS
ANDRÉ CITROËN WAS A VISIONARY, FOUNDING THE BRAND IN 1919
The history of Citroën is the tale of a visionary carmaker.
Like the most talented inventors and CEOs in history till today, André Citroën had a vision.
He wanted to make cars more accessible to everyone. He revolutionised European automotive manufacturing, inspired by the American model of mass production.
André Citroën also was a dreamer. He pushed advertising into a new era with imaginative and unseen-before campaigns. He is to be considered as the inventor of modern communication.
1905 - At 27, André Citroën creates his first company by exploiting a patent of gears in the shape of rafters. It will become the emblem of the brand.
1919 - André Citroën creates his eponymous brand.
1922 - A world premiere for the opening of the seventh Paris Motor Show: an aircraft writes the brand name in the sky.
1919 - Advert for the launch of the Type A, Citroën's first vehicle.
1922 - To highlight the qualities of his half-track vehicles launched in 1922, André Citroën decides to send them across the Sahara desert.
1923 - Always in search of visionary and original ideas, André Citroën started making miniature replicas of 'dad's car'. More than 30,000 toy cars were sold in the first ten years.
OUR ICONIC MODELS
Across ages our designers have conceived iconic models that have always pushed further people’s freedom to move. These models adapted people’s live and made mobility always more accessible and smoother.
THE HISTORY OF OUR LOGO
From 1919 to 1959, changes in the logo led to the disappearance of the A and to the transformation of the oval into a blue octagon.
In 1984, the double white chevron was placed on a red square. A strong visual identity, based on the “Les chevrons sauvages” (the wild chevrons) promotional film.
Since 2009, the Citroën name has been written in red beneath rounded 3D-effect silver chevrons on a white background.

Jeep Gladiator bakkie gains 746 kW engine from Hennessey!
Hennessey has revealed its extreme take on the Jeep Gladiator.
It's called the Maximus 1000.
The package includes a suspension upgrade.
Yes, you read that correctly: 746 kW in a bakkie. The folks over at Hennessey Performance in the United States have gone and dropped a tuned Hellcat V8 engine into the Jeep Gladiator.
The result is the Maximus 1000, powered by a tuned version of the famous supercharged 6,2-litre V8 engine (fitted with the Texas-based firm’s HPE1000 engine upgrade) churning out a whopping 1 265 N.m.
Hennessey says just 24 units of the double-cab bakkie will be built, each costing around $200 000 (that’s a little more than R2,9-million at the current exchange rate), including the base Gladiator. Production is set to begin in July with the build time for each unit set at approximately four months.
“We wanted to create the ultimate Jeep Gladiator,” said company founder, John Hennessey. “Maximus 1000 – the name says exactly what it is: 'badassery' on four wheels.”
The tuned bakkie employs an eight-speed automatic transmission and gains an uprated ECU, wiring harnesses, radiator and fuel system, as well as a stainless steel exhaust system.
Special front and rear bumpers have also been fitted, along with additional LED light-bars, Hennessey 20-inch wheels (wrapped in BFGoodrich off-road rubber) and an upgraded suspension system with a 152 mm lift. A custom leather interior upgrade is also included in the price.

2008 Yamaha Majesty specs, Engine size 0.4l.
Yamaha Motor Company Limited (ヤマハ発動機株式会社, Yamaha Hatsudōki Kabushiki-gaisha?) (TYO: 7272), a Japanese motorized vehicle-producing company (whose HQ is at 2500 Shingai, Iwata, Shizuoka), is part of the Yamaha Corporation. After expanding Yamaha Corporation into the world's biggest piano maker, then Yamaha CEO Genichi Kawakami took Yamaha into the field of motorized vehicles on July 1, 1955. The company's intensive research into metal alloys for use in acoustic pianos had given Yamaha wide knowledge of the making of lightweight, yet sturdy and reliable metal constructions. This knowledge was easily applied to the making of metal frames and motor parts for motorcycles. Yamaha Motor is the world's second largest producer of motorcycles (after Honda)[citation needed]. It also produces many other motorized vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, outboard motors, and personal watercraft.
The Yamaha corporate logo is comprised of three tuning forks placed on top of each other in a triangular pattern.
In 2000, Toyota and Yamaha Corporation made a capital alliance where Toyota paid Yamaha Corporation 10.5 billion yen for a 5 per cent share in Yamaha Motor Company while Yamaha and Yamaha Motor each bought 500,000 shares of Toyota stock in return.
See also: Yamaha Motor Racing
Yamaha has a long racing heritage where it has had its machines and team win many different competitions in many different areas, particularly in motorcycle racing. Yamaha has had great success with riders such as Bob Hannah, Heikki Mikkola, Kenny Roberts, Chad Reed, Jeremy McGrath, Stefan Merriman, Wayne Rainey, and currently, Valentino Rossi. Yamaha has won a total of 35 World Championships, including 3 in MotoGP and 9 in the preceding 500cc 2-stroke class.
Yamaha created the innovations which lead to the modern motocross bike, as they were the first to build a production mono-shock motocross bike (1975 for 250 and 400, 1976 for 125) and one of the first to have a water-cooled motocross production bike (1977 in works bikes, 1981 in off-the-shelf bikes).

Angel Investing in London – CityMeetsTech
Amir Khwaja July 11, 2012 No comments
I attended the CityMeetsTech event yesterday evening at the new Google Campus on Bonhill Street, EC2. The event was advertised as an opportunity for selected tech start-ups to pitch to angel investors. Each start-up to be given 3 minutes to pitch their slide deck and then 2 minutes for questions and onto the next.
See citymeetstech.com for details on the organization, whose goals are laudable. Clearly there are lots of wealthy professionals in the City and in close proximity around Old Street a cluster of fledging tech companies; more than 3000 according to a recent BBC news item. Bringing these two groups together must surely help in providing seed capital for these firms to grow.
As someone who has made some money in software technology in the City, I wanted to find out how such events work and whether I myself would consider investing. After all, what with Savings rates paying 2.5%, less than the rate of inflation, public equity markets having gone no-where since 2008, and commodities also down, there have to be decent alternatives to investing than just the London property market.
The list of eight shortlisted firms presenting can be seen here
So having spent two and half hours, listening to the pitches and chatting to some of the founders afterwards, here are my thoughts.
Firstly as a general point, I would say the format works very well.
While on the face of it 3 minutes seems way too short to impart much information, in reality it forces the presenter to absolutely focus on keeping it simple and focusing just on the key points important for a pitch for investment. These include: what is the problem, how product solves, the team, milestones to date, market size, and competition, amount of investment required and use of investment.
Most of the founders pitching had 6 slides that covered these and I am sure putting these together helped them really focus on the essence of their offering.
Secondly, the strength of the idea, clarity of the presentation and credibility/enthusiasm of the founder are absolutely crucial in getting any interest.
To kick-off the evening, Scott Sage, one of the founders of CityMeetsTech, did a good introduction to the event, the organization and acted as event chair.
Before this I spent 5 minutes looking over the marketing gumph left on each chair from the evening sponsors. Disappointed to see no nice freebies like pens and the like (would have expected something from google) but two of the items stood-out.
Firstly a little booklet from SEEDSR, which is a crowdfunding for startups site. Very well written, quick read and elegantly makes the point. Make a note to checkout the site.
Secondly, a booklet from TaylorWessing, a law firm. Not expecting to get much information in this but am pleasantly surprised by the level of detail provided in the Seed Investment chapter.
Decide to keep both these and ditch the rest on the chair next to me.
We are about to start.
First up, the founder of CrowdIPR with his slides and a Finnish sounding accent (which I later discover to be Estonian, so pretty close). Applying the crowd sourcing model, to the question of Intellectual Property Rights; so creating a crowd of specialist researchers that respond to projects asking about whether a specific idea is the subject of any existing patents. Credible pitch, particularly when said had commitment of £400k of the £600k investment required, so looking just for the remainder. In the questioning made clear that 70% of the fee for each project is disbursed to the crowd of researchers that work on a project based on an algorithm that judges the value of their contribution.
Second up, the founder of InputDynamics, with an offering that creates something called a BigSoftKey for a mobile and a live demo – so founder taps on the back of his cell phone to active camera shutter and says his SDK can be used to create software buttons anywhere on the device. With some help from the event chair, it became clear that this works with acoustics and the microphone. Questions from the audience sceptical about the use of such a key and founder came up with a button to move to the next slide on the back of an iPad, perhaps common gaming actions, and some others that did not catch.
Next, Lectrio, course management for small educational institutions. Web software that allows educators to timetable classes and share course materials with their students. A free service and premium service, emphasis on ease of use and integration with Google Calendar and Docs (first of a number of pitches mentioning this). Credible pitch, good focus on a specific sector; language schools in London and size of UK market, not to mention expanding to other countries.
Next Planvine, which is a what’s going on in London site. I was sceptical on this, but as the founder took us through his slides, could see the value in the idea. So rather than my usual last-minute haphazard attempt to plan for the weekend and driven often by an advert on the tube or something in the London Standard that happened to catch my eye; I could go to this website and it would bring together everything that was going on in London as the sites integrates with the main London venues and ticket events sites.
Next Seesr, interactive videos made easy. An application that allows the creation of hot-spots in a video stream, that a user can click on and for these to be links to further information. This leads to greater engagement with the adverts and so conversion rates. Credible pitch, been going 9 months and founder completed the 13-week Oxygen Accelerator boot-camp, details of which can be seen here. At £75k, one of the smaller amounts of investment amounts being asked for this evening.
Next Skylightit, all in one business management and project collaboration. Founder started well, but ran into 30 second warning, without having got close to the investment required slide, so skipped a few; which made the understanding of the offering weak with the audience. While he mentioned good exposure on BBC Clickonline and both a Free and Paid Service, left with the impression that this was a very competitive space (mentioned Huddle, who are one of the most successful tech startups from the Old Street area); but more on this later.
Next StoryBricks, story telling for online games. Founders starts by saying he does not like public speaking (oh no bad sign) but then in his 3 minutes comes across as very likeable, enthusiastic and credible; so perhaps strategy is to lower expectations at the start and then surprise and delight by the end; risky over 3 minutes, but pulls it off sufficiently for me to ask a question; do his brick components create code and how do they help with existing games. Answer is that these brick s communicate with an AI Server and allow characters and emotions to be selected and inserted into a storyline to create MMO games. Leads me to think I have never tried any of these massively multiple player games, as always felt the time and commitment warranted would be too great; while the odd short stint of Temple Run on my Samsung Nexus is easy to switch on and off.
Last Up, yReceipts, email receipts for POS terminals, which offers retailers the ability to send receipts to the customers as emails, Credible pitch, clear pricing model and large number of stores and tills in the UK and Australia using. Ability to embed advertising and social media in the email receipts and integrate with loyalty reward cards to get emails, show good engagement with customers. Good presentation to end the sessions and close.
That’s the detail and as everyone gets up to head over to the food and drinks, I feel the need to stay in my seat and look over my rapidly scribbled notes. At the end of the 40 minutes, it takes a good few minutes of concentrated reading and re-collection to figure out who had said what and more crucially what amount of investment they required and what milestone this would allow them to achieve.
So I try and list the ones of interest to me and see whether I can find and chat to some of the founders in the hubbub of drinks and scrum of people. I estimate around 70 in the room as a fair number of empty seats but when stood around food tables there seem to be more.
Come up with four and plan to find these and if not these then one or of the others.
Is it just coincidence that both the first and last are on my list?
Perhaps, perhaps not, after all going first and going last has to be an advantage.
Catch up with Alex from yReceipts and start to ask him questions on how the product works and who they sell to, how much money is required and what it will be used for. He answers well, one other guy joins and also asks questions; together both of us continue for some minutes. To founders these cannot be the first time have fielded such questions. Questions answered, exchange cards and move on.
Can see one of my other selections but he is talking to someone behind me. Spot one of the founders that did not make my list and decide to talk to him. Give him the feedback that I think his sector is too competitive and he has a nice comeback; it is true but growing at 60% – so opportunities for many firms. Spend a few more minutes chatting.
Move over to talk to Faizan from Seesr and ask more details. He offers a demo on his iPad which I take up and the concept is very clear. Explains some advertising jargon to me – pre-rolls – which apparently are the short advertising videos that one sees on video sites; like the annoying ones I am always skipping on Bloomberg’s site I guess; but apparently these are the most successful forms of advertising. Numbers sound impressive, but I quickly realise that I don’t know much about how the advertising market works and that he needs funds to build the product to get it into the hands of first customers.
Find Taavi of CrowdIPR by himself and start to ask him more detail. His start-up is based in the Google Campus building, which he says is great as lots of ideas and innovative folks around. Tells me about the algorithm for assessing each researcher’s contribution to a project in order to allocate payments and how they are thinking of a patent for this. Mentions that the investor in this round is IP Group, a well known UK public company that works with universities to commercialise intellectual property. Chat over the value proposition; how they find researchers (networks, personal, linkedin), what is in it for the researchers (money for some, expert recognition for others), crowd sourcing is being tried in many sectors and they have picked this specialist one but platform could be used for others.
So that is the last one I have time for and it being 9pm head for the exit. About 20 people still thronging around the food, so majority seem to have left.
Today, the day after I would draw the following conclusions of the event and potential investment opportunities.
Angel investor should focus on sectors they understand and where they can draw on networks of contacts to verify assumptions.
An investment is more compelling when others are willing to invest in the current round.
Competitive sectors are a turn-off.
The milestones and user numbers quoted by start-up are self-promoted; even with due diligence one wonders how these can be verified.
Most of these start-ups are pre-revenue or have freemium models; so any investment is a decision not on whether they will have profitable customers but whether they can continue to the next round of funding in 12 to 18 months time; typically a larger amount from a VC firm.
And lastly what a truly international and inspiring place London has become, with smart young professionals from the world making London their base and founding tech companies when their contemporaries from ten or twenty years ago would have been focused on careers in blue-chip banking or accountancy firms. That has got to be a good thing.
Now all that remains is to give some serious thought as to whether I want to meet up with some of the founders and consider their proposals in details.
One thing for sure, will definitely attend the next event.

Headlines & Happenings (John Piper and Female Seminary Professors; Rachael Denhollander)
January 28, 2018 #current issues
As one week gives way to another, I like to provide a roundup of the themes that were prominent among Christian readers and writers in the week that was. This week people were discussing John Piper’s thoughts on female seminary professors while also discussing Rachael Denhollander’s remarkable victim impact statement from the sentencing of Larry Nassar.
John Piper and Female Seminary Professors
In episode 1149 of Ask Pastor John, John Piper answered this question: Is there a place for female professors at seminary? His answer, not surprisingly for those who are familiar with his understanding of complementarian principles, was no. “Just to be clear, the issue is not whether women should attend seminary in one of its programs and get the best biblical grounding possible. The issue is whether women should be models, mentors, and teachers for those preparing for a role that is biblically designed for spiritual men. That’s the way I’m posing the question. … You can hear in that sentence another assumption about the nature of what I think seminary teaching should be. Namely, seminary is not just the transfer of information. Machines can do that. But machines can’t form a man for the pastoral role by being those who, in their teaching, embody that role and model that role and inspire for that role through their active involvement as elder-qualified men in the church.”
Denny Burk, President of the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, wrote an article at his personal blog to demonstrate that this position is not novel. “For example, my own denomination (the Southern Baptist Convention) was facing this very issue back in 2007. As a result, the Southern Baptist Texan interviewed presidents of SBC seminaries asking them to describe their seminary’s practice regarding female professors. They all answered basically in the same way.” In a second article he provided a “mere complementarian” understanding of the key passage, 1 Timothy 2:12. And in a third he demonstrated what the debate is not about. Of all the articles, this may be the most clarifying.
Stephen Kneale wrote On John Piper and His Prohibition of Female Seminary Professors in which he outlined four broad complementarian positions and how they inform questions like this one. Michael Bird penned what was mostly a level-headed response from a theological conservative who is also not-quite-egalitarian. What jumped out at me is his assertion that women can only be safe in an environment where authority is shared between men and women. “Gosh, if you believe in total depravity, and if you read the news (#AndySavage), you cannot trust men to police other men when it comes to women. So it is a pastoral necessity and a duty of care that female students have women role models and women advocates in any faculty.” However, he failed to back this assertion with Scripture. He also went way too far when he included this outrageous statement: “My first piece of advice for women preparing for seminary is that you should approach an all-male faculty with the same level of caution you would use sharing a cab ride with Harvey Weinstein.”
Bethany Jenkins, until recently a very consistent contributor to The Gospel Coalition, tweeted her disagreement and a look through the long thread that follows will prove enlightening to those trying to get a survey of popular opinions.
I’m a complementarian and *strongly* disagree with this conclusion. My disagreement stems from a high, not low, view of the local church and the authority of Scripture; we should not extend it beyond where and what it teaches. https://t.co/wbE3rsWOyl
— Bethany Jenkins (@BethanyJenkins) January 23, 2018
Rachael Denhollander’s Victim Impact Statement
A second popular topic of discussion was former gymnast Rachael Denhollander and her victim impact statement about Larry Nassar. Donhollander was the first woman to go public with accusations of sexual misconduct and she was given the last word before he was sentenced to lifetime imprisonment. Her statement was lengthy, at times graphic, and heartbreaking. What stood out to many people afterwards was the way she pleaded with Nassar to turn to Christ and be saved. You can watch it here (beginning at 27:00 or so if you’d like to watch the part where she speaks of forgiveness and reconciliation in Christ Jesus):
Al Mohler led with the story in his January 25 edition of The Briefing and concluded this way: “But what so many in the world missed is that the moral clarity that was so evident in that courtroom yesterday cannot really emerge from a secular worldview. It can only emerge from a biblical worldview. And yesterday it wasn’t just the witness to good and evil that appeared. In the voice of Rachel Denhollander, there was a powerful witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel that speaks so honestly about sin, and the Gospel that so honestly promises in Christ salvation from sin.” In “Gymnasts, Prophets, and Us” Rebecca VanDoodewaard said, “These three things—doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God—are things that are missing from the discussion around this case and other sexual abuse situations.” Aaron Earls also wrote about it and pointed out, “Many Christians have rightly pointed to Denhollander’s presentation of the gospel to Nassar, but we miss the depth of what she did—and of the gospel itself—if we jump to that first and only stay there.”
Writing for TGC Australia, Murray Campbell made some important observations, including this: “We should not be so quick to dismiss the efficacy and goodness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ today. In a court of law, and in circumstances addressing the ugliest of human affairs, a woman spoke with quiet dignity, sharing her pain, calling for justice on behalf of countless girls, and speaking grace to a man who deserves none. Rare? possibly. Contrary to human wisdom? Yes. Attractive and causes us to ponder? Absolutely.” And, once again, Denny Burk commented, this time relating her situation with abuse-prevention training and programs.

Disrupting Chemical Sales: The Rise of Online Marketplaces
Winning platforms are likely to be those that deliver a wide range of products, superior service and an abundance of suppliers
Joachim von Hoyningen-Huene, partner, Bain & Company © Bain & Company
The Rise of e-Commerce
The chemical sector is a laggard in the adoption of digital solutions at the customer interface. Buying and selling chemicals feels more complex than it really is and involves too much research, phone calls, emails and, in some cases, even a fax.
Around the turn of the century, it looked like the chemical industry was ready for the digital age. Leading chemical producers were engaging in e-commerce, and many marketplaces, such as Omnexus or CC-Chemplorer, were established. None of these platforms, however, lived up to their high expectations, and none gained the necessary scale to thrive. As the hype subsided, many portals exited the market in subsequent years.
This time is different as new technologies are available and pushing digital is at the top of the agenda for many chemical company CEOs.
In recent years, many leading producers have launched online stores, many of which are open to competing producers to create marketplaces, including CheMondis (Lanxess), Chemberry (Clariant), OneTwoChem (Evonik) and, most recently, Asellion (Covestro). Sebastian Brenner, managing director of CheMondis, highlights his independence from Lanxess: “While we are owned by Lanxess, we are a fully independent operating company. There is no connection whatsoever, except financially, to Lanxess. We have our own team, office and IT systems. No transactional data is shared with Lanxess.”
Distributors are also stepping up their game. Market leader Brenntag founded DigiB as a digital hub in 2017, Univar owns ChemPoint, and Stockmeier invested in Chembid, a metasearch engine that consolidates information from multiple online sources. Independent marketplaces either focus on scale (e.g., Molbase, LookChem) or grow from specific applications (Knowde). All these marketplaces are open to any qualified buyer or seller, as opposed to proprietary online stores, which generally only offer the product of a single vendor (Fig. 1).
Leading chemical producers, such as BASF, Wacker, Covestro and others, are open to cooperating with marketplaces. All have opened up flagship stores on Alibaba’s 1688.com to generate additional business in China. Smaller marketplaces are rapidly expanding their portfolios. For example, Knowde, a Silicon Valley–based start-up focused on chemicals for cosmetic applications, is rapidly expanding both its product portfolio (moving into polymers) and geographic reach (opening an office in Amsterdam). Similarly, Chemberry focuses on personal care, but the company will soon expand into home care products.
Different Parts of the Value Chain
While all of these marketplaces bring producers and buyers together, the solutions differ significantly in terms of product, geographic coverage, user experience and functionality. Marketplaces put their emphasis on different parts of the customer buying journey. Chemberry and Knowde attract customers by focusing on valuable information and search features for formulations. CheMondis, Pinpools and Kemgo focus on facilitating actual transactions. GoBuyChem has a unique business model as it currently focuses on select commodity chemicals and covers the entire customer buying journey, including logistics: GoBuyChem buys free carrier and sells delivered duty paid (Fig. 2).
Knowde offers extensive service in the cosmetics industry: Fast response times, quick delivery of samples and a broad range of formulations enable small firms and start-ups to develop their own products quickly and reduce go-to-market times. Kemgo, Pinpools and OneTwoChem offer specific requests for chemicals and quotes on which producers and distributors can bid or make counteroffers. Most platforms do not offer significant logistical services, but Molbase and GoBuyChem do offer additional services, such as full logistic support and just-in-time deliveries, challenging the distributor business model.
James Wen, cofounder and secretary of the board of Molbase says, “Molbase is an integrated service provider. We create superior value for our customers and suppliers because we have the most comprehensive product portfolio, large supplier and customer bases, many value-added products and services, and because we combine the benefits of the marketplace with a physical supply chain and associated services” (Fig. 3).
In general, marketplaces are not the best sources that customers should turn to if they need advice beyond standard requests. Indeed, most marketplaces are not the sales channel of choice for inexperienced users or users with more sophisticated individual needs. The vast majority of marketplaces refer the customers directly to the producer for information beyond the minimum legal requirements, including specific application support, better suitable chemicals and new developments.
Outlook: What it Takes to Win
Not all marketplaces will thrive. In fact, we believe that only a few ultimately will be successful. Producers launching their online shops are probably aware of this. Winners will be the marketplaces that attract the most business to their platforms, enabling them to offer value-added features that, in turn, will increase the attractiveness of the platform. In our experience, relentless focus on three priorities is key to attract business:
most comprehensive product portfolio;
a high-quality offering; and
a deep bench of actively involved suppliers.
Marketplaces need to ensure that their product portfolios cover their customers’ range of demands so that they don’t lose customers to other marketplaces. For that reason, some marketplaces (for example, Knowde and Chemberry) opted to provide comprehensive portfolios only for select applications. Marketplaces should recruit suppliers to close gaps in their product portfolios in case customers cannot find a particular chemical. Molbase and others actively promote this service for customers who cannot find a chemical that meets their requirements.
Quality is also important. Ensuring the availability of listed chemicals, providing relevant information and delivering reliable service are all necessary to earn customer loyalty and trust—both of which are essential for marketplaces that want to take more share of wallet.
Competition for Quality
Competition is necessary in order to deliver the right quality for the best price, so it’s important to get the appropriate variety of suppliers actively engaged in a marketplace. While most specialized marketplaces have a regional (or smaller) focus, many chemicals travel a long distance between producer and buyer, so a global supply base is necessary to be competitive. We tested a selection of marketplaces for their coverage of 10 chemicals (2 pigments, 2 organic solvents, 3 multipurpose chemicals, 2 food additives and 1 plasticizer) and the number of suppliers for each chemical covered.
Obviously, this analysis is just a snapshot. For instance, CheMondis is rapidly expanding as Managing Director Sebastian Brenner points out, “We are adding several hundred products every month at the moment and have several thousand scheduled for upload” (Fig. 4).
Molbase stands out as the most comprehensive and mature chemical marketplace. It benefits from China being the largest domestic chemical market in the world with the most fragmented producer landscape. Dongliang Chang founded Molbase in 2011 (along with other cofounders), and two years later, the company launched Molbase.com as an online platform to make chemical sales transactions transparent, simple and highly efficient. Today, the platform covers 100,000 companies, more than 55 million pieces of chemical compound data, more than 9 million chemical compound products and more than 40,000 franchised stores. While the marketplace focuses on China, Molbase has ambitions to become a global player and already serves customers outside of China. Molbase also differentiates from other platforms in the extent of the logistical and financial services it provides.
Another indicator of the maturity and attractiveness of these marketplaces is the amount of traffic they attract. Six marketplaces already receive more than 100,000 monthly visits. Among the marketplaces with transactions, Molbase leads its peers by a strong margin, with the exception of Alibaba’s 1688.com, which includes many products beyond chemicals. Again, obviously, this is just a snapshot as many players have just launched their offerings and are just beginning to compete for customers’ attention (Fig. 5).
The Future of Chemical Marketplaces
Bain’s analysis shows that there is still plenty of room for these marketplaces to grow and improve. The global market for chemical sales stands at around $4 trillion. An ever-increasing share of the market is commoditizing, which escalates the urgency to provide chemicals at competitive rates. Marketplaces are a means to reduce costs that don’t add value for customers and suppliers alike, and they increase transparency, which customers expect for commodity chemicals.
An ever-increasing number of start-ups—some sponsored by producers and distributors—recognize the business potential of chemical marketplaces. Consolidation among marketplaces, however, is likely to occur as producers become more sophisticated in leveraging marketplaces to their benefit, especially for commodity products, second- and third-tier customers, and noncore geographies. In fact, we expect producers to use their marketplaces as a bargaining chip to facilitate cross listing their products on other platforms, and we expect that ultimately collaboration and consolidation will take place among marketplaces that are independent, producer led or sponsored by distributors. Ultimately, leading platforms will leverage their access to customers, suppliers and information to provide superior value-added solutions connected to the sales of chemicals and technical and logistical services (Fig. 6).
Some of these value-added services will play an important role in the transition toward more customer-driven supply chains. Leading marketplaces will integrate the physical supply chain and may choose to take ownership of certain chemicals. Those marketplaces will be able to optimize their own procurement as well as procurement as a service to others by trading on the basis of superior information—for instance, supply information provided by producers (namely, stock levels) and demand information that leverages predictive planning on the basis of a deep set of customer demand data with exposure to key end markets. Marketplaces will use similar algorithms and artificial intelligence as leading demand-planning solutions deployed by producers. The accuracy will be much better, however, because of the broader and deeper data pool. As marketplaces internalize the physical supply chain, build up warehouses and manage distribution logistics, their networks will increasingly become more efficient as the density and volume of shipments within a geography increase.
Since the marketplaces own the information generated, they will be in a position to contribute to the overall efficiency of the broader supply chain network, including customers and producers. Marketplaces can accelerate the information layer of the supply chain between customers and producers—for instance, by encouraging customers to share more information about their replenishment needs and consolidating this information for producers to support their production planning.
New Market Entrants
With the exception of Alibaba, we have not seen technology giants enter the chemical market at scale, possibly because there were more attractive growth opportunities to pursue. We expect other technology players to consider entering this market, however, because of its size and the benefit that technological disruption can provide to the system. One way to enter would be to acquire a leading distributor as a foundation upon which to build the marketplace. Distributors have all the ingredients: the chemical knowledge, access to producers and customers, and the physical supply chain. Technology giants have the technology to build the platform and apply artificial intelligence to develop value-added services from the abundance of data generated by the platform.
The digitization of chemical sales will profoundly change the way chemicals are sold. Not all market participants will benefit from this disruption. Indeed, proven business models in the chemical value chain, especially those of agents, traders and distributors, will be threatened. As a Chinese proverb goes, “when the wind of change blows, some people build walls, others build windmills.”

Kindie Land-Chi-IL Ravinia Shows For The Littles and Teens
Photo Credit: Ravinia
Kraft Great Kids Concerts series welcomes Ravinia favorites and new acts
Second annual teen attendance contest includes free pre-concert tent party on July 29
Ravinia is not just for the wine and cheese crowd... This lovely, outdoor performance space in Highland Park, north of Chicago near the lakefront, is easily accessible by train and hosts a wide variety of musical genres every summer. Check out some of their family friendly kindie acts featured below, or bring the kids to classical concerts free on the lawn. BYOB, wine and picnics. The kindie lineup is very family friendly. One word of warning: just beware of the shuuuuushers, at some of the Ravinia pop & rock concerts where you wouldn't expect 'em and at the classical shows for sure.
The Brie eaters aren't all kid friendly!! My kids were pretty mellow tots and after a number of bad experiences we quit going to Ravinia in favor of the waaaay more laid back classical series in Millennium Park, because of the intolerant clientele. They expected ultimate silence and immobility from our toddlers and ruined the concert experience for all the families there with their glares and angry comments directed at every kid that moved a muscle. It's one thing if kids truly are shrieking or running amok, but really..... We found the childless adult yelling and shushing and evil eyes much more disruptive than any of the slightly fidgety kids there.
That said....if you're aiming for Laurie Berkner on July 28 or Justin Roberts & The Not Ready for Naptime Players I think the snooty factor will be at a minimum.
*Ravinia is making a concerted effort to entice back the young, despite the shush brigade. Kids 15 and younger enjoy free lawn admission for classical concerts; high school and college students with valid student I.D. admitted free to the lawn for classical concerts.
Kid-friendly, in-park activities include Customer Appreciation Day, free family space and kids program book
Ravinia Festival President and CEO Welz Kauffman has included events tailor-made for families, kids and teens as part of the 2012 season, including the annual Kraft Great Kids Concerts series, free kids admissions for classical concerts and activities, and the second annual teen attendance contest featuring a “Cannon Ball” pre-concert event.
“Ravinia is perfectly suited for families,” Kauffman said, “and we’re excited that our mission of reaching young audiences continues to grow this year with even more variety, low prices, and free admission to classical concerts. Creating unique and accessible opportunities for the younger generation to experience music of all kinds is one of Ravinia’s priorities, whether it’s attracting the world’s top young professionals to study and perform through the Steans Music Institute, in the schools through our own *REACH*TEACH*PLAY education programs, or creating a fun environment for teens to connect and enjoy classical music together.”

He appears at Ravinia on Aug. 18.
Named “one of the greatest personalities in contemporary folk music” by The New York Times and “the best family artist around” by Billboard magazine, Tom Chapin has the ability to engage and entertain children and adults alike. Five of his family recordings have received Grammy award nominations for Best Musical Album for Children, including the 2006 release Some Assembly Required. He returns to the festival on Sept. 9.
FREE TEEN CONTEST AND PARTY
In an effort to bring awareness and opportunity of classical music performances to young people, Ravinia teamed with teens last year to create the Ravinia Student Advisory Board, which collaborated on ideas to promote classical music to young listeners. The program consists of three parts: free lawn attendance for high school students with a valid school I.D. at all classical concerts; a summer-long CSO attendance contest in which students can earn points for their school to win a grant; and a special high school night including a pre-concert event and the chance to gain double points for the attendance contest.
The attendance contest spans the duration of the CSO summer residency at Ravinia, from July 4 to August 20. High school students simply show their valid student I.D at the Ravinia Box Office for free lawn admission at any CSO show (excluding the July 21 Gala), and the box office will keep track of the primary high school they attend. The school that has the most student visits at the end of the CSO residency will be awarded a grant from Ravinia Festival.
The festival, along with the Ravinia Student Advisory Board, will also host a special teen night pre-concert event for high school students on Sunday, July 29, before the CSO’s all- Tchaikovsky program including the “1812” Overture featuring live cannons. “Cannon Ball 2012” will include a free tent event complete with food, refreshments, games, prizes and the chance to earn even more points for the attendance contest. Students who attend the event and performance will also receive double points for their high school.
FREE TICKET OPPORTUNITIES/SPECIAL DISCOUNTS
Ravinia announces a continuation of last year’s policy to allow kids free admission to the lawn. Those 15 years old and under will be admitted free to the lawn for all classical concerts, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s summer residency (excluding the July 21 Gala). High school and college students will be admitted free to the lawn for classical events when they present a current student I.D. at the box office. Reserved-seat upgrades may become available at a reduced price for students.
Ravinia will host a special free family space on the north lawn prior to selected CSO concerts. Families can participate in activities including music-related crafts, storytelling and the “instrument petting zoo,” The family space will be open from 3 to 4:30 p.m. prior to the CSO concerts on July 29 and Aug. 5. The instrument petting zoo will be located in front of the Martin Theatre following the Kraft Great Kids Concert on July 7 featuring the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, beginning at noon.
Ravinia’s Family Fun Guide is a free, special program book designed just for kids, available throughout the entire summer season in kiosks around the park. The program book includes coloring pages, exciting information on music, games, kid-friendly program notes, activities to do in the park or at home and more. Parents can also preserve their child’s concert memories by saving the book and filled-out activities.
Be the star that you are—host a birthday party at Ravinia. Kid’s birthday parties can be arranged for groups of 20 or more in conjunction with the Kraft Great Kids Concert series. Each party package includes tent or lawn set-up, pavilion tickets to the show, table and chair rental, a gift for the birthday boy or girl from Ravinia Gifts, and lunch for partygoers featuring a kid-friendly menu including an entrée, cookie and a beverage.

Approximately 50% of the content will be BIPOC-related.

BIPOC\nCourse Taught By: Georgia Phillips-Amos, PhD Candidate\nARTH 370-A Topics in Canadian Art: Indigenous and Settler Photography in Canada\nThis course is focused on the ways that photography has either been used by Indigenous people, or impacted the lives of Indigenous people (and, to some extent other people of colour), as a tool of colonialism. Therefore, almost the entire course will engage with BIPOC-related issues. I\nCourse Taught By: Dr. Reilley Bishop-Stall\nDr. Reilley Bishop-Stall is a settler Canadian scholar who is devoted to anti-colonial practices and perspectives.\nARTH 373-A Issues in Contemporary Canadian Art: Visual Culture in Canada, 1960s to the Present\nSession/Credits: 13 weeks/3 credits\nThrough a selection of texts, actions, films, art works, and personal records, students learn both the histories and ongoing struggles of creative activists in Canada.

This revitalized attention to the literary and music movement that looks at sociopolitical issues through an Afrocentric futuristic and science fiction lens, points to the urgency of critical responses and political activism to imagine the possibility of attainable life-bearing future worlds in response to an unprecedented historical period of widespread anti-immigrant animus, anti-black racism, unguarded misogyny, homophobia, and white supremacy. In North America (US and Canada), the popular rise of Afrofuturism also parallels a flurry of activity in the arts and culture sectors that speak to a resurgence of contemporary art by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of colour) artists influenced by the ideas of the movement. Focusing on moving image works (experimental film and video), performance art, AI and virtual reality artworks by Canadian-based BIPOC artists, this seminar will explore the convergence of artistic practice engaged with Indigenous and Afro-Asian futurist aesthetics, drawing from the interdisciplinary approaches and models of analysis from the fields of Afrofuturism, science fiction criticism, feminism, critical race theory, transatlantic slavery studies, and media archeology. Ultimately, this seminar asks: What is the political and cultural significance of this new art not only to art history and art criticism but also to tackling issues in the present world if we are to imagine our continued existence in the future?

I\nCourse Taught By: Dr. Miranda Smitheram, Assistant Professor\nDr Miranda Smitheram's research centres around decolonizing design processes through indigenous methodologies (mātauranga Māori).\nNotes: Prerequisites: DART 380 or 381; DART 391, 392 previously or concurrently; or written permission of the Department. This is open by permission of the professor.\nDART 441 - The Culture of Images\nRace, identity, representation, intervention and activism are key components of DART 441, and will be used to connect to other topics such as branding, culture jamming and theories of vision.

Specifically, this course offers lectures on Black spectatorship, colonial and postcolonial cinema and the representation of Indigenous and Black bodies, including examples challenging dominant models of white beauty (about 40-50% of the course). The instructors also commit to screening and reading non-white filmmakers and writers throughout the course, in lectures that deal less directly with BIPOC related questions.

The course is framed with a discussion about who gets published and why, what kinds of experiences are traditionally understood to be good \"\"short story material\"\" and why, and centres race in these discussions. Students will read both formalist narrative theory and theory about narrative contexts, and will interrogate both from the perspective of the marginalized identities centred in the fiction read. BIPOC\nENGL 386-A Caribbean Literature\nThis course deals with Caribbean literature, mostly in English but with some work in French and Spanish.

Some sections have more BIPOC content than others. In the Cultures of Cities, Jean-Michel Basquiat provides an illustration of the post-modern aestheticization of urbanity. The section on Cities of Difference illustrates social distance theory using the example of the racialization of Vancouver's Chinatown and the assignment for this section involves the critical evaluation of census data on 'ethnicity' and 'race'. The second half of the course deals with neighbourhood patterns. Many components address ethno-cultural patterns of neighbourhood formation (such as ethnoburbs) and racialized segregation. A sustained analysis of the policies shaping African-American segregation in Chicago is used to complexify and disrupt popular understandings of 'ghettoization'. B, POC\nCourse Taught By: Dr. Julie Podmore, Affiliate Assistant Professor\nI am a queer intersectional feminist scholar of cities.\nNotes: Prerequisites: GEOG 220 or permission of the Department.

The bulk of the course covers the period from the onset of European colonization in the 15th century through the decolonization of India in the 20th century, and a lot of time is spent unpacking the history of European imperialism and colonialism, resistance and freedom movements, and the complexities of decolonization in the post-colonial period. We also cover the history of the South Asian diaspora globally, and the histories of people of South Asian decent around the world (and particularly in Canada, especially in relation to discriminatory policies & histories of racism). This course looks historically at systems of oppression (caste, the cultural and political dominance of Hindus/Hinduism, anti-indigenous/tribal mobilization) and follows their evolution around the logics of race in the early modern and modern period, along with other political iterations of dominance in India. POC\nCourse Taught By: Dr. Rachel Berger, Associate Professor\nDr. Rachel Berger is a settler scholar who uses an intersectional approach to the history of the past in South Asia (predominantly anti-racist and feminist, and centring the lives of queer people, Muslims and other minorities in the region). This course is informed by post-colonial and Marxist readings of the Indian past (in line with the field-specific theory that has shaken up the narrative over the past 3 decades) and relies heavily on decolonization theory and the work of BIPOC scholars, and South Asian feminist scholars and activists, in particular, to think critically about South Asian histories in a global context.\nNotes: Students should contact the Department to inquire about enrolling in the course.\nHIST 263/4 A - History of Japan\nThis course is a history of Japan (including Indigenous people of the Japanese archipelago such as the Ainu and Ryukyuan peoples) from earliest times until present and thus foregrounds BIPOC stories and \"non-Western\" historical perspectives. It situates Japan in Asian history and cultural flows and later considers the effects of Euro-American racial thinking, racist science and imperial anthropology, and similar points of cultural and imperial friction and conflict. The \"modern history\" part of the course considers the influence of North American settler colonialism on Japanese imperial practices, the experience of ethnic minorities in Japan, and places these in a comparative context, bringing in Canadian examples and points of contrast. POC\nCourse Taught By: Dr. Matthew Penney, Associate Professor\nDr. Matthew Penney is a historian of modern Japan who foregrounds Japanese and other non-Western historical experiences in his writing and teaching.\nHIST 264/2-A History of Africa\nAs an introductory course on African history, HIST 264 is focused on a significant segment of BIPOC people's history. The assignments for the course are built around texts by high-profile African authors. And while race is only one of the many themes it treats, the course aims to foreground the diversity and complexity of African historical experience, including its importance to the foundations of today's world.

These sorts of questions will be introduced through a selection of chapters from Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a member of Citizen Potawatomi Nation and a botanist. Kimmerer poses these questions via deep reflections on her relation to nature as a scientist through and against her experience of the world as an indigenous person, her efforts to learn to speak Anishinaabemowin, which speaks of the world through “grammar of animacy,” and reflects of a very different view of plants, animals, place and nature in her tradition. Her reflections will frame and provide critical resources for a very brief study of Schelling’s view of nature, leading into studies of Jan Patočka’ The Natural World as Philosophical Problem and Raymond Ruyer’s Neofinalism, after which we will return to Anishinaabe philosophy via Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning’s “The Murmuration of Birds: An Anishinaabe Ontology of Mnidoo-Worlding. I\nCourse Taught By: Dr. David Morris, Professor\nDepartment of Religions and Cultures\nRELI 398-F Decolonizing Religion\nThe whole course interrogates how colonial discourses, power, and history shape the way we think about religion and various possibilities for moving beyond these colonial assumptions. The course will cover topics such as decolonization, post-colonialism, indigeneity, settler colonialism, power/knowledge, colonial discourse theory, black anti-colonial philosophy, Marxism, queer theory, the protestant presuppositions of religion, and the deconstruction of ‘religion’.

Open19 Simplifies Data Center Installations
By Amy Goetzman|2019-09-09T20:09:07-05:00August 20, 2019|Comments Off on Open19 Simplifies Data Center Installations
The Open19 Foundation has developed a server design solution that makes data center deployment faster, easier, and less expensive.
The Open19 Foundation is advancing a new data center design standard that significantly reduces the hardware costs and time required to set up or upgrade a server. This simplified hardware platform consists of three main elements: a brick cage, power shelf, and network switch, which support four different brick form factors that can be quickly and easily plugged in by an operator. Through this economical and highly flexible option for data center design, more companies will be able access edge computing.
“Open19 installation is simplified through the use of two separate interconnect types standardized for the rack structure: power and data. Cables are assembled into the rack, allowing for easy installation of components or reconfiguring as needed. Though our structured cables are typically installed prior to any power supplies, switches, and servers, they can be installed afterward as well,” said Brent Peterman, Amphenol ICC marketing director. Amphenol, along with Molex, supplies the power interconnects that are used in network component elements (e.g., servers, switches, and power shelves) and the cable harnesses that connect them in the rack.
The protocol originated as an exercise posed on the LinkedIn platform, and LinkedIn’s servers in Oregon and Texas, as well as other facilities, have successfully implemented the hardware (LinkedIn is a Microsoft company). The Open19 standard was developed in conjunction with numerous data and electronics companies, including Amphenol ICC and Molex, and it has significant implications for the power connectors and cable assemblies used in data center servers, switches, and power shelves. To learn more about the components used, visit the Open19 Foundation Marketplace and the Open19 resource pages on the Molex and Amphenol ICC sites.
We talked to Amphenol ICC’s Peterman and Liz Hardin, new product development manager, high-performance copper assemblies, at Molex, about what Open19 will bring to computing.
Connector Supplier: What are the implications of Open19 for connectors used within the servers?
Liz Hardin: The Open19 connector used within the servers provides excellent performance (up to 56G PAM4 per lane) in a blind-mate interface.
Brent Peterman: The focus in defining power interfaces used for Open19 was rugged, blind-mate capability, simple snap-fit cable to rack installation, and availability as a standard product offering. Implementers can take advantage of Open19 flexibility as long as they use the defined connector interfaces.
How does Open19 facilitate the move towards edge computing?
BP: Open19 provides flexibility in swapping components and enables operators to easily configure a rack. This will increase the capability of shared data centers and bring about more growth in edge computing.
LH: The rear connectivity makes installation of additional capacity or replacement of products extremely easy. Installers only need to slide in a new server, latch it in, and then move on to the next one. Open19 founder Yuval Bachar [principal engineer, data center architecture at LinkedIn and president and chairman of the board at Open19 Foundation] has said that it is intended to be simple enough that couriers could deliver and install a new server!
Amphenol’s CoolPower 2×1 Pin Connector
Open19 was designed for smaller data centers. Why are larger centers adopting it?
BP: Open 19 is great for smaller data centers but the flexibility of components and the broader marketplace it enables can be ideal for larger data centers as well.
LH: The approach to rack deployment has cost of ownership advantages in hardware and offers soft savings by reducing overall labor. Larger data centers are observing this delta and find the approach appealing.
How do connector companies influence standards groups like Open19?
BP: It is important to join the organization, be an active contributor, and support the other project members. Amphenol supported proof of concepts and is working closely with the early implementers, rack providers, and integrators.
LH: I think that the best way to describe the interaction is a collaborative effort where different experts contribute their skill to the total objective. Molex brings connector expertise and knowledge to help determine which tools are best employed to accomplish the goal together.
How does Open19 work alongside (or replace) existing data center standards (such as ANSI/TIA 942 or EN 50600)?
BP: Open19 is design to fit the existing Electronics Industry Alliance (EIA) 19-inch rack standard. Expect these various standards to continue alongside one another based on the specific needs of that data center.
LH: Open19 is definitely not a replacement but it’s just a different way to approach a similar problem set.
Amphenol cable assemblies for data centers
Is Open19 pushing innovation for new connectivity products as the standard evolves?
LH: Open19 is imagining a different rack connectivity style that helps to optimize performance for future generations by shortening total channel lengths, moving from a traditional top-of-rack (TOR) switch to a middle-of-row (MOR). Additionally, one of the key objectives is to reduce costs by reducing the total time required for rack bring-up. This helps enable quick connections for customers. We hope to make use at the edge easier by pre-installing connection into the rear of the rack.
The Open19 Foundation says 2019 is the year of adoption. Is the industry ready?
LH: The industry is getting there — I think it is similar to any major shift. The move from VHS to DVD was not instantaneous, but eventually, consumers became comfortable with the shift and the advantages offered and DVDs are now status quo. I think that in time, the approach Open19 proposes will become just as commonplace.
BP: Amphenol is ready. We are already shipping to initial adopters and looking forward to more to come.

Come 'Say This to My Face,' Says Ayanna Pressley After Betsy DeVos Compares Being Pro-Choice to Being Pro-Slavery
Democratic congresswoman and chair of the House Abortion Access Task Force said she "would welcome the opportunity to educate" the Education Secretary on reproductive rights. And maybe U.S. history of chattel slavery?

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, chair of the House Abortion Access Task Force, offered Thursday to give Education Secretary Betsy DeVos a face-to-face lesson on reproductive rights and U.S. history after the billionaire cabinet official likened the arguments of pro-choice advocates to those of slavery supporters during the Civil War Era—a comparison one critic denounced as "utterly deranged."
"I say again: only slavery was slavery. This is utterly deranged, and [Betsy DeVos] should resign."
—Jamil Smith, Rolling Stone
"Dear Betsy, As a Black woman and the chair of the Abortion Access Task Force, I invite you to come by the Hill and say this to my face," Pressley tweeted after DeVos' remarks during an event sponsored by Colorado Christian University spread across social media. "Would welcome the opportunity to educate you."
"The rhetoric and policies of anti-choice zealots like DeVos put the lives and bodily autonomy of far too many people at risk," added Pressley, a Massachusetts Democrat.
Dear Betsy,
As a Black woman & the Chair of the abortion access task force, I invite you to come by the Hill and say this to my face.
Would welcome the opportunity to educate you.

— Ayanna Pressley (@AyannaPressley) January 24, 2020
During the Colorado Christian dinner in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening, DeVos invoked former President Abraham Lincoln and said "he too contended with the 'pro-choice' arguments of his day."
"They suggested that a state's choice to be slave or to be free had no moral question in it," DeVos said. "Well, President Lincoln reminded those pro-choicers that there is a vast portion of the American people that do not look upon that matter as being this very little thing. They look upon it as a vast moral evil."
"Lincoln was right about the slavery 'choice' then, and he would be right about the life 'choice' today," she said. "Because as it's been said: Freedom is not about doing what we want. Freedom is about having the right to do what we ought."
Dr. Megan Kate Nelson, a Civil War historian, was dumbfounded by DeVos' remarks, which came just days before the anti-choice March for Life is set to take place in Washington, D.C. Friday with President Donald Trump expected to be among the attendees.

Rolling Stone senior writer Jamil Smith ripped DeVos for attempting to "turn Abraham Lincoln into an avatar for the anti-abortion right."
"I say again: only slavery was slavery," Smith tweeted. "This is utterly deranged, and she should resign."

Immigrants Rush to Gain Citizenship
Surge is prompted by threat to cut public benefits for legal migrants
By Clemence Fiagome Special to The Christian Science Monitor
FOR most of the 12 years that have elapsed since he arrived in Miami from Cuba, Juan Valiente did not feel he needed to become a United States citizen. Legal resident status allowed him many rights and federal benefits -- and, besides, he always thought he might return to his native land.
But recently the retired factory worker heard that Congress is thinking about throwing legal immigrants who are not US citizens off Social Security and Medicaid rolls. Now, at a Little Havana civic center, he is learning US history and English ''in a hurry,'' so he can pass a citizenship exam.
He is far from alone. Across America, seats in citizenship classes are suddenly as popular as tickets to basketball star Michael Jordan's return.
Even legal immigrants who have been in this country for years are rushing to apply for citizenship, hoping to avoid an anti-immigrant backlash sweeping the country.
Nationally, citizenship applications jumped 78 percent in the first four months of fiscal 1995 (October through January) compared with a year earlier.
California, home to Proposition 187, a ballot initiative that denies government services to illegal immigrants, saw some of the sharpest increases. In Los Angeles, applications jumped some 300 percent.
City officials in San Antonio, Texas, have had to schedule extra citizenship ceremonies. And here in the Little Havana section of Miami, 15 civics centers have seen sign-ups for citizenship class go up by a third.
''Because [legal residence status] has been a traditionally safe status'' many immigrants didn't see the need to become citizens, says Ariela Rodriguez, director of social services for the Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Center. ''They worked, paid taxes, and are living on social security. They need supplementary assistance.''
A number of factors may lie behind this increase. For one, the Immigration and Naturalization Service now requires legal resident immigrants with ''green cards'' issued before 1979 to replace them with newer versions. Some have been opting for the full citizenship route, instead. For another, a pool of immigrants became eligible for citizenship in 1993, under the terms of a general amnesty law passed in 1986. Many of these candidates are now in the midst of citizenship application.
Proposed cuts in Congress
But anti-immigrant political pressure is still a major factor in citizenship decisions, according to many who teach or attend citizenship classes. House Republicans, following provisions contained in their Contract With America, are looking to save big money by cutting many government services for legal immigrants.
This week, revised legislation heads to the House floor that GOP sponsors say would cut welfare spending by $21 billion over five years. The bill would exclude noncitizens from the largest federal programs: Medicaid, food stamps, disability aid, Aid to Families With Dependent Children, and social service programs.
''When this bill becomes law we cannot feed someone with a green card,'' Ms. Rodriguez says. ''We have to ask for citizenship. The only thing we check now is age. This turns us into border guards. Everything that has public funds they cannot access.''
This part of the welfare-reform bill hits ground zero here in Miami. More than half the people who live in Florida's Dade County were born in some other country. Two of South Florida's Republican lawmakers, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, refused to sign the Contract With America last fall because of this stipulation. Both were born in Cuba.
Most Cubans who fled to the US when Fidel Castro Ruz and his revolutionaries seized power three decades ago thought the US would overthrow Mr. Castro and they would soon return. ''Many thought exile was a temporary process,'' says Jose Espinosa, a Cuban-trained lawyer who has helped compatriots prepare for the citizenship exam in Little Havana since 1973. ''They were waiting to go back home, and the years went by.''
Not only Cubans
But the phenomenon is not limited to Cuban immigrants. Across the city in Little Haiti, the scramble for citizenship is the same. ''The demand has been overwhelming,'' says Jacques Despinosse, a community activist.
''The [citizenship application] form has become a hot commodity. People are coming here not knowing what to do. They paid their taxes; now the government wants to take it all away from them,'' he says. The bill has exceptions for seniors over 75 years old who have lived in the US for five years, and for anyone who fought in a war on the side of the US.
The Filipino, Chinese, and Jewish communities -- there are a large numbers of immigrants from the former Soviet Union -- are stepping up efforts to get immigrants to become citizens.
The rise in citizenship also is creating a potential new pool of voters, which both parties are courting. Traditionally Cubans have voted Republican, while Mexican Americans have voted Democratic.
But both parties are now less monolithic than they once were, and community organizers are counting on capitalizing on the voter shift.
''What we are hoping to do is to create a voting bloc where elected officials are having to realize the strength of the community. Of not taking for granted the Latino vote,'' says Robert Almanzan, of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund in San Francisco.

Israel's Top Brass Don't Take a Shine To Talks With Syria
HIGH-COST DEAL FOR US
By John Battersby Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
HIGH-STAKES negotiations to seal a peace deal between Syria and Israel before next year's Israeli national elections have run into two hitches that threaten the momentum for Mideast peace.
* Senior Israeli military officials are increasingly anxious about their central role in talks over the security arrangements of the 16-mile-wide Golan Heights, which Israel seized during the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict.
* And Western diplomats here also question the ability of President Clinton to persuade Congress to approve the huge sums needed - estimated at $2.5 billion - to compensate Israel's military for the Golan withdrawal.
Syrian and Israeli military chiefs are scheduled to open talks in Washington on June 27 about security arrangements on an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan, a strategic plateau located between the two countries. A second round of talks is expected to follow between the Washington ambassadors of the two countries that will determine the timing and extent of a withdrawal.
The issue of United States money for Israel must be resolved before all sides tackle the question of US troop involvement in a Golan peacekeeping force and financial aid for Syria after a deal.
The optimism in diplomatic circles that followed last month's agreement leading to the resumption of talks has been muted by the Israeli Defense Force's reservations which, diplomats say, could slow the talks. "We are not talking about a breakthrough," a US diplomat said.
"The two things that have changed since the last round of talks between the military chiefs in December last year are that we now have a clearer agenda and a framework agreement for the talks," the US diplomat said.
"But it is not clear how the framework will influence the tough negotiations over practical arrangements to meet the security concerns," he added.
The other difference, he said, is that Syrian President Hafez al-Assad seems more amenable to making peace. "The Syrian attitude has changed ... they are talking about a partial breakthrough."
According to unnamed senior military officials interviewed by the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) fear that the "apolitical" status of the IDF could be jeopardized if senior IDF figures either make concessions or block a political deal leading to an Israeli-Syrian accord.
"If the chief of staff says anything publicly - or if the Israeli, US, or even Syrian media report anything that implies that he has reservations about the settlement - [Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin's chances of winning a referendum are slim," the officer told the Jerusalem Post.
An IDF spokesman yesterday said that the IDF was not prepared to discuss the subject and declined official comment.
Where there's smoke...
But Western diplomats and analysts told the Monitor that the IDF concern reaches to the IDF chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, who will head the Israeli delegation at the opening round of talks over security arrangements in Washington.
"The heart of the debate in the Syrian negotiations will be over the security arrangements," says Dore Gold, a political scientist at Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center of Strategic Studies. "If the security arrangements are deemed inadequate, the Likud opposition will have to call into question the ability of the military.
"Conversely, the left-wing opposition will vent its anger on the military. Either way, it will be disastrous for the military to take the blame for what is essentially a political decision," Mr. Gold adds.
Gold says former IDF Chief of Staff Ehud Barak was dragged into the political arena during the first round of talks by Syrian and Israeli chiefs last December when he had proposed a scaling down of the Syrian standing force.
"This caused [Syrian President] Assad to hit the roof, and the talks were called off," Gold says.
The reported remarks of the IDF officer coincided with the publication of an opinion poll by the Steinmetz Peace Center at Tel Aviv University, which suggested why top IDF officers are playing such a crucial role in the negotiations.
The poll indicated that 65.6 percent of the public is more inclined to trust the IDF's recommendations on a withdrawal from the Golan Heights than statements by politicians.
Soldiers stand tall
The poll asked respondents to rate the opinions of nine different interested parties in order of importance when making up their own minds about what should happen in relation to the Golan Heights.
The IDF came in first, the general public second with 54 percent, and the Israeli settlers on the Golan with 52 percent.
Mr. Rabin came in fourth with 39.5 percent, the United States fifth with 31 percent, the Knesset sixth with 29.5 percent, and the Israeli Cabinet seventh with 27.4 percent. The Likud came in eighth with 26 percent, and Jewish rabbis came in last with 9 percent.
"I think the conclusion to be drawn here is that there is a growing mistrust by Israelis in the common sense of the government on key issues," says Tamar Hermann, director of the Steinmetz Peace Center.
"The conclusion of the public is that the government is prepared to pay a very expensive price for a Syrian deal, which could be struck far more cheaply," Ms. Hermann says.
The US diplomat said that following the July 27 talks in Washington, US special envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross will visit the region for meetings with Assad and Rabin.
This will be followed by a resumption of talks in Washington between the Israeli and Syrian ambassadors and senior military officers, but not the chiefs of staff.
The security arrangements that will come up for discussion on June 27 include Israel's demand for an early-warning station on Mt. Hermon overlooking the Golan Heights.
Both sides want access to US satellite intelligence that could eliminate some of the more cumbersome electronic-monitoring devices being demanded at this stage. Israel wants electronic monitoring of the entrances to Syrian tank bases.
Israel is insisting on the demilitarization of the whole Golan and wants "limited-force zones" all the way to Damascus, only 40 miles from the Golan. Israel agrees to similar zones extending into its territory, but opposes the Syrian demand for geographical symmetry.
Israel also wants a US-led international force to monitor the peace. The US is keeping an open mind on the subject depending on what is jointly decided at the Israel-Syria talks.
Israel is proposing joint Israel-Syria patrols before any other agreements are reached as an immediate confidence-building measure.
Israel and the US are discussing a military compensation package that would include high-technology hardware, such as the JSTARS surveillance and coordination airplane, stationary ground early warning systems, and satellite transformation and linkage stations.
The prospects of a substantial US aid package to Syria appear increasingly slim in light of Congress's failure so far to approve a $275 million debt relief package to Jordan, which was promised in return for its making peace with Israel last October. "If there are problems getting aid passed for Jordan, led by the friendly King Hussein, you can imagine the difficulty in approving funds for Assad," Gold says.

Why being a couch potato can give you asthma and dishwashers can cause allergies... The everyday habits that are jeopardising your health
Those affected by allergies has trebled in the past 20 years to 21 million
Allergies are partly due to genetic predisposition but also environment
Part of the problem is thought to be down to improvements in hygiene
Here, experts explain other surprising factors that affect children's allergies
By Thea Jourdan for the Daily Mail
Published: 20:04 EST, 16 March 2015 | Updated: 12:38 EST, 17 March 2015
There seems little doubt that allergies are increasingly common. And now scientists are uncovering intriguing evidence to suggest why.
A recent Swedish study suggested that dishwashers could be responsible for eczema in children. Researchers found youngsters who eat off dishes that have been scrubbed by hand are significantly less likely to develop allergies.
Apparently, dishwashers are too good at getting rid of all the microbes, some of which keep our immune systems healthy.

An allergy is the sign the immune system has overreacted to a normally harmless substance, such as pollen, food and house dust mite. This can result in asthma, when breathing tubes become narrowed and inflamed, and eczema, which affects the skin. It may also trigger sneezing and streaming eyes (hay fever) or skin symptoms (such as hives).
The number of people affected by allergies has trebled in the past 20 years to around 21 million, according to Maureen Jenkins, clinical director of Allergy UK.
While allergies occur partly because of genetic predisposition, our environment is important, too. ‘The rise became a problem 50 years ago when lifestyles and diets changed dramatically,’ says Dr Adrian Morris, an allergy consultant based in Surrey.

Part of the problem is thought to be down to improvements in hygiene. The bacteria that live on our skin, inside our mouths and ears and fill our intestines are vital to our healthy immune systems. The theory is that modern Western lifestyles disrupt the delicate balance of these micro-organisms, and allergies are the consequence.
Here, experts explain the other surprising factors that raise a child’s risk of developing an allergy — which might explain why you have an allergy.
SIBLINGS WILL PROTECT YOU
Having older siblings has been shown to protect against the development of allergic rhinitis and allergy in the first year of life.
Studies have shown that having a older sibling may protect you against the development of allergies in the first year of your life (file image)
In 1989, a study by David Strachan, professor of epidemiology at St George’s Hospital, London, looked at more than 17,000 children born in 1958 and found that the more older siblings they had, the less likely they were to have allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
It’s thought lots of children living together create a healthy immune-boosting microbial ‘soup’, because they all pick up bugs and share bacteria in the home environment, boosting a younger sibling’s protection.
RURAL LIFE CAN BE HEALTHIER
Children born in the countryside are less likely to develop allergies than children raised in the urban sprawl. This is probably because country children are exposed to a wide variety of microbes from animals and their general muck — this seems to protect them from all allergies, not just animal ones.
‘Studies show that children on arable farms without animals are better protected than children in urban areas but less well protected than children who have cows and chickens,’ says Maureen Jenkins, clinical director of Allergy UK. ‘Pets also seem to offer some protection, but you do need more than one.’

Strangely, high levels of air pollution are not linked to asthma. In 1991, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, scientists looked at asthma rates Leipzig — a polluted industrial town in East Germany, and Munich, where air pollution levels were lower. ‘The kids in Leipzig were more likely to have respiratory infections but the kids in Munich were much more likely to have asthma,’ says Dr Adrian Morris.
Fumes from diesel engines can worsen allergies. Diesel particles stick to pollen, causing pollen to become a super allergen, far more irritating to the airways than pollen alone. This means asthmatics may feel worse in cities, where there are more diesel vehicles.
ALLERGY DANGERS OF CAESAREAN BIRTH
Babies born by caesarean are five times more likely to develop allergies by the age of two than those born naturally, according to research presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology meeting in 2013.
Today a quarter of babies in the UK are born by caesarean. That is a significant statistic in light of a Norwegian study that found caesarean babies were 52 per cent more likely to suffer from asthma than those delivered naturally.

Babies are exposed to bacteria in the birth canal which seem to help create an ideal culture of gut flora — the healthy bacteria in our digestive systems — explains Dr Carsten Flohr, paediatric allergy specialist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
‘If babies are born without this contact they don’t pick up healthy microbes which seem to help protect them from allergies,’ he says.
EXOTIC FRUITS THAT RAISE FOOD REACTIONS
UK children now eat a wider range of exotic foods than found in our traditional diet. And some experts believe this can explain the threefold food allergy increase in children over the past decade.
Some experts believe that the increased popularity in more exotic fruits, such as kiwis, is related to the threefold food allergy increase in children over the past decade
‘One theory is children are exposed to foods such as kiwis and mangos which we have not evolved to cope with very well,’ says Dr Morris. ‘We are seeing an increasing number of allergies where these foods are the trigger.’
WINTER BABIES HAVE MORE ALLERGIES
Children under five are 50 per cent more likely to have food allergies if born in autumn or winter, according to a 2010 U.S. study.

The scientists speculated this could be to do with lower levels of vitamin D in these months, which is synthesised in the skin in the presence of sunlight. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to higher levels of ‘auto-reactive’ T-cells, which have the ability to turn on the body’s immune system. But Dr Morris is sceptical about the link between birth month and allergy.
‘I don’t think this will ever be proven. There are too many other factors which change depending on the seasons.’
COUCH POTATOES MAY BECOME ASTHMATIC
Sedentary lifestyles in front of the telly are linked to obesity, which is a risk factor for asthma.
In one study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in August 2013, obese children were 1.16 to 1.37 times more likely to develop asthma than children of normal weight.
This may be because extra body fat causes inflammation, which is involved in the immune response in asthma, said the lead researcher, Mary Helen Black. The extra pounds also might affect the severity of asthma by placing additional weight on a child’s chest.
Sedentary lifestyles in front of the television have been linked to obesity which, in turn, is a risk factor for asthma (file image)
U.S. asthma rates rose swiftly after the arrival of children’s TV shows such as The Mickey Mouse Club, says Thomas Platts-Mills, director of the Division Of Allergy And Clinical Immunology at University of Virginia School Of Medicine.
‘Prior to 1955, children came home from school and went out to play. Now, the population sits around the house in ways children never sat still before,’ he adds.
This is important because research by his group has shown that people tend to sigh fewer times when watching TV, compared with when reading, although they could not explain why.
Without these periodic expansions of the lung, the bronchial smooth muscle suffers, leading to non-specific bronchial reactivity, says Mr Platts-Mills. And as our lives become sedentary we miss out on the bacteria in gardens, adds Maureen Jenkins. ‘Indoors, we are exposed to allergens like mould spores and dust mite droppings, which are common triggers of allergy.’
PREGNANT WOMEN CAN EAT NUTS
Women who are expecting a baby often avoid eating foods such as nuts and eggs, even if they are craving them, for fear of making their child allergic. This is a mistake, according to Dr Morris.
‘Pregnant women should not follow exclusion diets for the sake of reducing the allergy risk of their baby. The opposite seems to be the case,’ he explains.
Taking omega-3 supplements or eating oily fish while pregnant can also reduce future allergy risk (file image)
Indeed, children are less likely to have a nut allergy if their mothers ate nuts while pregnant, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2013 found. The U.S. researchers said their findings supported the theory that exposure to allergens early in life increases tolerance, lowering the risk of allergies.
A new study at King’s College London backs this up, showing that exposing children to peanut products in early life reduced their chances of developing an allergy.
Women who are pregnant often avoid certain types of foods such as nuts and eggs but researchers have found that exposure to allergens early on can increase tolerance and lower allergy risk
Pregnant women who take omega-3 supplements, or eat oily fish, may also be helping to reduce their child’s future allergy risk.
A study published in the British Medical Journal in 2012 said supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy could reduce the risk of babies developing eczema by over a third and halve the risk of an egg allergy. It’s thought omega-3 fats are important for a healthy immune response.
ANTIBIOTICS FOR BABIES MAY TRIGGER ECZEMA
Studies show women who take broad spectrum antibiotics (ie, an antibiotic used to treat a lot of different infections) in the last trimester of pregnancy are more likely to give birth to babies who have allergies.
Studies have shown that women who take broad spectrum antibiotics during their last trimester of pregnancy are more likely to give birth to babies with allergies
Giving babies antibiotics early in life is also linked to a greater risk of eczema. Researchers at King’s College London and two other UK centres reviewed data from 20 studies and found that use of antibiotics in early life may increase the risk of eczema by 40 per cent.
This is thought to be because antibiotics kill off ‘good’ bacteria as well as bad, altering the delicate balance of microflora.
EATING PICKLES CAN REDUCE THE RISKS
Pickles and sauerkraut may offer protection. Scientists from the University of Gothenburg looked at 1,000 girls between seven and eight and found their risk of developing an allergy was reduced if they regularly ate fermented foods — such as sauerkraut — and food not industrially processed.
This may be because pickling involves fermentation, which produces healthy bacteria, while processed food is usually stripped of most of its natural microbes.

Nicky Granger’s infant son Gabriel had barely taken his first taste of cow’s milk and baby rice when he started to wheeze and gasp for breath.
Within minutes, the eight month old’s lips and ears also started to swell and his skin turned bright red.
Terrified, Nicky drove him to her GP surgery five minutes away. The GP took one look at Gabriel and called 999.
Nicky Granger’s son Gabriel has nine food allergies including cow’s milk, wheat, eggs, sesame, nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish and kiwi
‘He told me Gabriel was having a severe allergic reaction and gave him liquid antihistamine,’ recalls Nicky.
Gabriel was taken by ambulance to hospital by which time the antihistamines were working.
‘We were so lucky to get medical help so quickly - I’m told he could have died,’ says Nicky,47, who lives with her partner Mark, 52, an IT manager, Gabriel and eldest son Sebastian, 6, in Bearsted, Kent.
Gabriel, now four, was discharged without any tests but was later diagnosed with no less than nine food allergies including cow’s milk, wheat, eggs, sesame, nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish and kiwi, after Nicky used private medical insurance to see a paediatric allergy specialist in London.
Around 8 per cent of children and up to 2 per cent of adults now have a food allergy causing symptoms such as wheezing, swollen airways, hives, skin rash, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Nicky has set up a website called www.canIeatthere.co.uk, which includes menus from 10,000 UK restaurants
Maureen Jenkins, clinical director of the charity Allergy UK, says food allergy says cases of food allergy are rising in the UK and not just among children.
‘We also have more adults developing food allergies for the first time particularly to fish and shellfish and seeds such as sesame.’
Dr Adam Fox, consultant paediatric allergy specialist at Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospital in London, says it’s also more common for people to have multiple allergies now than it was 20 years ago.
Nicky says it’s been a nightmare trying to avoid the foods her son is allergic to and she has to carry two EpiPens of adrenaline with at all times in case he has another reaction.
‘Once I kissed him on the cheek after I’d been drinking tea containing milk and he immediately came out in hives - that’s how allergic he is’, recalls Nicky.
‘I have to order special rice bread on prescription for Gabriel because even gluten free bread contains milk or eggs and he has to have soya milk and yoghurt instead of dairy products. We have to check all food labels for nuts too - most times I have to make a packed lunch for him wherever he goes.
‘Restaurants are the hardest.’
New EU rules now require all restaurants to list 14 of the most common food allergens on their menus.
Nicky has set up a website called www.canIeatthere.co.uk, which includes menus from 10,000 UK restaurants.
She wants chefs to realise: ‘Food allergy is not faddy eating but is an illness that can kill.’

Inheritance Tax threat to over 60s
Published: 4 July 2019
The Telegraph reports “More than a million people over the age of 60 are on the cusp of falling into the inheritance tax (IHT) net and most have no idea they can avoid it, according to a report published by HM Revenue & Customs last week.
It found over-60s were particularly at risk of the death tax, with 9pc sitting on wealth at or just over the tax-free threshold – triple that of the general population. NFU Mutual, the insurer, estimated around 1.4million people could be affected.”

Day 17 Spring Training Report
This afternoons Dodger lineup: Furcal-SS, Blake -3rd, Ethier-RF, Kemp-CF, Gibbons-DH, Uribe-2nd, Barajas-C, Mitchell-1st, Kapler-LF
Here is the Day 17 Spring Training Report from the Dodgers.
SEEING RED: The Dodgers and Reds will meet for the second and final time of the spring this afternoon at Camelback Ranch. Los Angeles lost 3-1 to Cincinnati in Goodyear two nights ago. Last season, the Reds went 5-4 against the Dodgers and the two squads will meet for the first time in the 2011 regular season on June 3 at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park. The Reds will invade Dodger Stadium a week later from June 13-15.
TAKING THE MOUND: Dodger left-hander Clayton Kershaw will make his second start of the spring this afternoon after tossing 3.0 innings against the White Sox on Feb. 28. In that outing, the 22-year old gave up just one unearned run and two hits while striking out three. Kershaw is set to turn 23 in less than two weeks and entering his first career Opening Day start, he will have more strikeouts (497) and more wins (26) than any other player in baseball aged 23 and younger in the National League. The only player aged 23 or younger with more wins than Kershaw is Oakland’s 23-year-old Trevor Cahill, who has won 28 games over the last two seasons. Cahill is 18 days older than Kershaw. After Kershaw exits, RHP Lance Cormier, RHP Jon Huber, RHP Roman Colon, RHP Oscar Villarreal and LHP Wilkin De La Rosa will take the mound for Los Angeles. The Reds will counter with RHP Bronson Arroyo.

(Practice Rundown Drills)
SNAP THE STREAK: The Dodgers lost their fourth consecutive spring contest last night, falling to the Giants, 5-3, in front of a crowd of 11,261 on Fireworks Night. RHP Jon Garland made his 2011 debut and looked sharp, allowing just one unearned run and one hit over 3.0 innings. At the plate, Trayvon Robinson and Juan Castro each collected an RBI, but the Dodgers managed just seven singles in the contest. Through eight games, Dodger starters have posted a 0.93 ERA (2 ER/19.1 IP).
GET ON THE BUS GUS: The Dodgers announced yesterday that the Metro will again offer the Dodger Stadium Express bus service from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles to Dodger Stadium beginning on March 28 with the Dodgers’ exhibition game against the Angels. The service will then run throughout the 2011 regular season under a grant approved by the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC).
A BIG THANK YOU: The Dodgers would like to acknowledge the fans and clients taking part in this year’s Spring Training trip. The group of nearly 70 people had a welcome dinner Thursday night where they met Andre Ethier, Chad Billingsley, Clayton Kershaw and Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda. Prior to taking in the game vs. the Giants last night, the group received bunting instruction from Dodger legend Maury Wills and today will meet with Dodger Manager Don Mattingly and Dodger GM Ned Colletti before flying back to Los Angeles. In addition to several season ticket holders, the clients represented include KCAL, FSN PRIME TICKET, Hyundai, Kaiser Permanente, Farmer John, Time Warner and John Hancock.
BIG MAC: The Dodgers would like to wish a very happy birthday to right-handed pitcher Mike MacDougal, who turns 34 today. MacDougal shares his big day with former Dodgers Kevin Brown, Paul Konerko and Chad Fonville. A little known fact is that MacDougal’s given name is actually Robert Meiklejohn. Meiklejohn is his mother’s maiden name. Now you know.
ON THE INJURY FRONT: Dodger first baseman James Loney will miss today’s game with some stiffness in his left knee. Loney took an MRI this morning in Phoenix and the results are pending. The Houston, TX native is set to begin his sixth Major League campaign and over the last three seasons, his 480 games played are tied with Robinson Cano for third in the Major Leagues. Loney trails only Prince Fielder (482) and Adrian Gonzalez (482) over that time.
TOGETHER IN TUCSON: It was announced yesterday that the Dodgers and Diamondbacks will play a Spring Training game on Friday, March 25 at 1:05 p.m. in Tucson with proceeds benefitting the Tucson Together Fund. The fund provides financial assistance to the victims, witnesses and their families for expenses associated with the January 8th tragedy. The contest will be played at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium (formerly known as TEP) with tickets available at Dodgers.com/Spring.
BIENVENIDOS: The Dodgers welcomed a contingent of Mexican media members to Camelback Ranch yesterday, including representatives from Sintesis TV, Azteca America, Puro Beisbol, ZETA, El Vigia de Ensenada and Notimex. The group will stay until tomorrow and this is the third year that the club has hosted members of the Mexican media in Glendale.
A LITTLE SHIFTY: Today, former Dodger second baseman Steve Sax will be signing copies of his book, SHIFT: Change Your Mindset And You Change Your World outside the Team Store in the Center Field Courtyard from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
PAYING RESPECTS: A private memorial service for Hall of Famer Edwin “Duke” Snider will be held on March 12. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Fallbrook Union High School Baseball Program c/o Fallbrook Baseball ASB, 2234 S. Stage Coach Lane, Fallbrook, CA 92028.

Set Fire To The Stars (2014)
A monochrome portrait of poet Dylan Thomas running amuck stateside, Andy Goddard’s Set Fire To The Stars runs high on character but low on emotion.
Do Not Go Gentle by Mark Wilshin
Taking its title from Dylan Thomas’ poem Love In The Asylum, Andy Goddard’s Set Fire To The Stars is centred round the true story of the Welsh poet’s tour of the United States in 1950, accompanied (or should that be shepherded) by Harvard graduate, poet and critic John Malcolm Brinnin. A talented poet on the brink of global success, Thomas was already infamous for his wild, drink-fuelled escapades – a “quick to anger, horrible little imp” to upset both buttoned-up aspiring academic Brinnin’s life and career. It’s a love affair, a battle, and a moment in time that would make (or break) both men.
It’s New York, 1950 and John Brinnin (Elijah Wood) is appealing to his faculty panel to bring Dylan Thomas (Celyn Jones) across the Atlantic to embark on a reading tour across the States, establishing the poet’s popularity and simultaneously launching Brinnin’s own career. It’s a devilishly symbiotic alliance, but when Thomas arrives, he sets Manhattan alight – rampaging through an apartment party with a female guest spreadeagled over his shoulder and drinking Manhattan’s bars dry. Chucked out of his hotel room, Brinning takes the poet to his parents’ cabin in Connecticut, attempting to keep the Welsh live wire in check.
Beautifully filmed in atmospheric black and white, Andy Goddard’s Set Fire To The Stars begins in a jazz-infused montage of furious energy – as Brinnin recites the potential venues of Thomas’ upcoming tour. It’s co-written by actor Celyn Jones, and it’s an impassioned script – not only capturing the wild fervour of the poet, but also Dylan’s passion for poetry. Jones also gives a fantastic performance as the capricious bard, lurching vertiginously between petulant sweet-munching boy and diabolical mischief-maker, scandalising the Yale deanery with a dirty limerick that explodes in their hallowed halls like a mushroom cloud.
Despite Thomas’s anxious refusals to read a letter from his wife Caitlin (a sadly under-used Kelly Reilly), this isn’t his story -he’s simply the dancing bear that turns Brinnin from a poet into a sideshow huckster. It’s Brinnin’s – forging his own creative endeavour under the anvil of Dylan’s presence. Can he learn from the great master how to see the world, how to feel? Can he lighten up, cede control and enjoy the ride? And Elijah Wood is great as the twitchy scholar, finding a vast range of emotions in an everyman character. From his confident sunnies-wearing opening to the dark moodiness of his Detroit mouse “ghost story”, it’s a sometimes slicked, sometimes tousled portrait of a man on the way to losing himself.
Thomas’ advice to Brinnin on writing poetry is not to open a book, but a window. In other words – live, don’t read about living. But for a film about a poet, who declares it his mission to write so that his readers might feel something first, before clarity or understanding, Set Fire To The Stars is fatally restrained. It’s beautiful to look at, well performed and well scripted (even if budget constraints nag at the edges of its New York exteriors), but – apart from one startling scene where Thomas reads Caitlin’s letter and sees her in a dizzying hallucination – lacks passion. Rather like John Malcolm Brinnin, who documented his time with the Welsh poet in a biography, Goddard’s film falls both under Dylan Thomas’s spell and shadow – one larger-than-life man eclipsing its entire being.
Set Fire To The Stars is released on 7th November 2014 in the UK

Bus Boost For The Northwest
Bus services in the Northwest are set for a major boost with introduction of 170 additional weekly bus services for customers starting from 7 November.
Member for Seven Hills Mark Taylor MP said the additional services will give customers more choice when planning their bus trip, especially at shoulder morning and afternoon peak periods, meaning passenger loads will be spread more evenly.
The improvements will result in 170 extra services in Baulkham Hills, 40 in Riverstone, 70 in Seven Hills and 105 in Castle Hill.
“There has been unprecedented customer growth across the northwest and it’s essential that we continue to provide additional capacity in areas where it is needed most,” Member for Castle Hill Ray Williams MP said.
“By giving people additional services and more options we’re providing better travel opportunities to key employment and education hubs while the government forges ahead with building the world-class Sydney Metro Northwest, which will provide another great option for customers when completed in 2019.” Member for Baulkham Hills David Elliott MP said.
Customers will also benefit from some other changes, including an extension of Route 628 through to Chatswood, as well as improvements to Route 618 which will now operate via the Lane Cove Tunnel, instead of via Epping Road. These trips will be renumbered to 618X.
Customers are also advised to plan ahead with minor changes to weekend departure times for some Hills District bus routes, commencing from Saturday 12 November.

Weischer.Media Launches "CINEMA.RELOADED™ Ready"
Weischer.Media launches a certification programme for Theatre Management System suppliers. The initiative aims to clarify to exhibitors which TMS solutions are compatible with Weischer.Media’s sophisticated and highly-automated digital cinema advertising solution, CINEMA.RELOADED™.
CINEMA.RELOADED™ is an evolving product from Weischer.Media that is prevalent across Germany and Switzerland that offers ever more intelligent and effective cinema advertising. It aims to rival the sophistication of digital on-line adverting whilst maintaining the classic qualities of cinema—adding proven value to the medium.
“This will position cinemas optimally for the digital advertising future that meets the needs of the advertising industry: more flexibility, transparency and accuracy.” says Stefan Kuhlow, Chief Digital Officer of Weischer.Media. “So far, CINEMA.RELOADED™ has been a very welcome innovation by our exhibitor partners and it has brought cinema advertising in Germany and Switzerland back to its old strength. We are dedicated towards its future development and potential applicability to the wider markets.”
“CINEMA.RELOADED™ requires specific capabilities from the entire system from client to cinemagoer.” says Managing Director of Weischer.Media’s development partner Cinedavis, Dr. Marlon Teichfuss, also responsible for the ONEDCN™ pre-show technology network and interfaces. He adds: ”CINEMA.RELOADED™” is an ever evolving mechanism and “CINEMA.RELOADED™ ready” TMS certification aims to map future innovation to an up-to-date technology infrastructure.”
“TMS solutions that are certified as CINEMA.RELOADED™ ready will offer re-assurance to exhibitors that this important element of their wider system is compatible to the current needs of a CINEMA.RELOADED™ pre-show.” says Julian Pinn, Managing Director of Julian Pinn Ltd and strategic consultant to Weischer.Media. “So far the desire to join this initiative by leading TMS suppliers currently present in the German market has been very encouraging. We expect to be able to make further announcement in due course."

Focusing on Forests
Investors: Getting to Forest-Positive
Most tropical deforestation is driven by just four commodities: palm oil, cattle, soy, and wood products. These products are produced and bought by major corporations and find their way into our everyday lives. With fires raging in the Amazon and Indonesia, as well as Australia and California, many people are asking what they can do to protect the world’s forests. Investors, both institutional and individual, have a huge role to play in preserving and enhancing forests. Investors can pressure companies to halt deforestation in their supply chains and can divest from companies that engage in forest-harming practices. Investors that fail to address deforestation in their portfolios are not only exposed to cross-sector risk, but also miss the opportunity to help create the much-needed forest solutions we need.
The unprecedented forests fires have reminded us how much we care about forests and the animals that inhabit them. These disasters have also highlighted how much we depend on forests for clean air and a stable climate. Forests’ capacity for carbon capture could be a powerful solution to climate change, but currently an estimated 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions result from deforestation. In addition, deforestation is a threat to biodiversity and rural and indigenous communities that depend upon forests for their livelihoods.
Supporting Forests
Domini Impact Investments has a long history of working to support forests. We both avoid investing in drivers of deforestation and work to create sustainable practices. In practice, this goal means we avoid investments in industrial agriculture and other environmentally intensive practices that can have detrimental impacts on land and water resources, including forests.
In Brazil, for example, most forest loss is driven by land-clearing, including intentional fires, to increase agricultural production. Much of this land-clearing is illegal but persists due to Brazil’s poor enforcement of environmental laws and insufficiently resourced regulatory agencies. Industrial farming in Brazil is centered on large-scale cattle ranching and soy plantations. Due to violations of environmental regulations including widespread deforestation, as well as corruption, encroachment into indigenous territory, and the waste and emissions in meat production, we avoid companies engaging in soy and cattle farming in Brazil and companies that export and trade these products.
Instead, we seek investments that promote the protection and preservation of forests, wildlife and ecosystems. We favor companies that integrate sustainable practices into their global supply chains, such as using rigorous sustainability certifications for timber. We also look for companies that are reducing pollution of air and waterways, understand and report on how their operations impact forests and local ecosystems, and responsibly manage relations with local and indigenous communities. We recently reviewed our proprietary key performance indicators across all sectors to codify risks related to deforestation to help us better identify companies that are having a positive impact on forests.
To support solutions to forest loss, we raise awareness of the crucial functions of forests with corporations and industry partners. We push companies to achieve deforestation-free supply chains. We work with portfolio companies, including food manufacturers and retailers, to reduce demand for products that cause deforestation and help them to work with their suppliers to create deforestation-free supply chains for inputs.
Many companies we approve for investment are already having a positive impact. These include Klabin SA, a Brazilian packaging and agroforestry company. Klabin has 100% FSC-certified forests, the first company in the Southern Hemisphere with the certification, and the company’s production facilities are also FSC-certified. We consider FSC to be the best forestry standard, as it includes biodiversity and community factors in its assessment. The company maintains 48% of forest area for conservation and maintenance of biodiversity in accordance with Brazil’s Forest Code, which requires 20-80% of holdings be set aside as legal reserves, depending on plot size and location. Klabin uses a mosaic concept for forest management, wherein pine and eucalyptus plantations are mixed with areas of native forests in order to create ecological corridors.
Good governance, including strong legal protections and enforcement, is crucial for sustainable forests. Apart from direct company and sector work, we have supported legislation that would require companies involved in public procurement to have no-deforestation policies and enforcement mechanisms in place. We recently organized investor support for the California Deforestation-Free Procurement Act. The Act would require companies doing business with California to have policies, certification and public disclosure regarding deforestation and human rights. This disclosure would help investors identify companies that are fulfilling their zero deforestation commitments.
Stewarding Forests
Companies and investors must go beyond avoiding deforestation to creating solutions and restoring forest landscapes. In our discussions about forests with portfolio companies, those that have the best forest practices recognize risk exposure goes beyond their own impact and supply chain. They know that deforestation is complicated and try to work with many partners, including vertically, horizontally and across sectors to scale change. And they recognize that dire nature of deforestation means they must seek solutions proactively, without waiting on peers or government action.
This year we engaged with 68 companies in our portfolios that both impact forests and depend on them, whether for forest-derived products or ecosystem services. We had positive responses from many corporations, holding discussions with them about how they consider the value they obtain from forests and how they can better work to steward it. Through these dialogues we have begun to identify corporate actors that are effectively protecting and supporting forests and some of the specific practices and qualities that set them apart.
Investors must also fundamentally change their mindset about how they consider forest value. We find two root causes underlying continued deforestation. First, today’s focus on short-term profit leads to practices that extract value while perversely undermining the very source of the value. Second, without an appropriate value and cost framework, investors and corporations do not feel the need or responsibility to steward the forests we all rely upon.
We are uniquely positioned to make the case to our peers that they must do more to identify and manage forest value. Carole Laible, our CEO, addressed audiences at Responsible Investor New York about the connection between forests and food security. She explained the urgent need for investors and companies to understand how much value their operations receive from natural ecosystems, especially forests, and called on the attendees to steward environmental and social systems. If we recognize how much value we receive from ecosystems, we can begin to foster and enhance that value, with benefits for our businesses, employees, rural communities, and the environment.
Carole also spoke to financial advisors at a Money Management Institute event, explaining how we consider and act on forests’ economic value and work to improve how deforestation is addressed. She illustrated how investors must go beyond mitigating harm to forest through portfolio operations to positively enhancing forest systems in order to preserve and enhance the value in their investments.
To send a public message in response to the surge in fires in the Amazon rainforest this summer, we joined 230 investors representing over $16 trillion in assets to call for urgent action on the fires in the Amazon. The statement asked investors and corporations to take actions ranging from public statements to making commitments about supply chain practices.
Moving to a Forest-Positive Economy
Large corporations and their investors often drive deforestation. Through conventional investing practices, investors contribute to the worsening of profound environmental change that poses systemic environmental risks with potentially adverse impacts on their holdings across all asset classes. These investors should consider their impact on forests when making investment decisions. Investors can encourage proper valuation of natural services from forests and inclusion of reforestation in climate change strategies, while helping corporations not only avoid harming forests but positively impacting them.
Domini recognizes forests’ critical role in global environmental and social systems. We can and do drive change, not only helping to combat commodity-driven deforestation but encouraging reforestation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. We will continue prioritizing forests as a key foundation for a sustainable economy, divesting when necessary and working with our partners and portfolio companies to foster forest health.

Sheila Ryan Writes A Book
Sonicpastmusic.com has signed Sheila Ryan Caan, former fiancée of Elvis and ex wife of James Caan, to a book and movie deal. Sheila has written 1000 pages about her life with Elvis and her. According to the press release, the book - titled “Fame on Me” - contains material that has never been shared with anyone about many of Elvis’s heartaches and disappointments and betrayals, the pillow talk this young 20-year-old beauty kept secret for all these years.

Sheila was not Elvis' Fiancee. They were not "engaged". The book, could be interesting, if done.. fairly !

Sheila Ryan's claim to fame, in addition to removing her clothing for money, is making the rounds with Hollywood's rich, famous men. In the past, I've heard her say nothing of any redeeming value or substance - and I have a feeling this will prove to be more of the same incoherent, disconnected rambling about sexual encounters. Stories from the Skankdom... A bunch of intimate pillow talk that further devalues their brief, meaningless relationship. What happens between a man and a woman - if there is real love involved - should remain confidential no matter the passage of time. Loyalty has no expiration date. Sheila was a kept woman; no more than a sexual plaything that was conveniently stowed away in Las Vegas. Never in my years of being an Elvis fan have I heard that there were marriage discussions. I don't believe she was considered marriage material in Elvis' eyes. One must ponder whether Sheila Ryan herself has ever READ a book... which lends itself to the utter surprise that she has WRITTEN one. Impeccable timing, what with the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death fast approaching... James Caan must not be paying much these days! If trash is your thing, I'm sure this will be the read of the year for you.

She has - so far - not done anything really wrong, exept trying to sell a glass of pills he gave her on Ebay. But I doubt she had enough time spent with Elvis to fill a whole book.....and I do not think she was the woman that impressed him the most which basically does not put her in the place where she has to tell the "world" that little bit of what she was able and allowed to share with him privately. So, from my point of view it is just another betrayel on him. I will skipp on that one, I guess.

what still can be said, except about Elvis choking in his food while his drug start to kick in, Sheila's disapointed sexual affairs with Elvis, and like she said many times that Elvis was just a guy with a great smile and that's all and eventually their breakup 'cause their was no chance of Elvis ever being helped.
Steve V (profile/ contact) wrote on Nov 8, 2006report abuse
Jerry Schilling's book was a disappointment, as was Joe Esposito's, Charlie Hodge's, Priscilla's, Memphis Mafia's, all of them excpet Peter G's 2 great volumes. WHat makes anyone think this book will be worthwhile? A few bedroom tales perhaps?
FJE (profile/ contact) wrote on Nov 8, 2006report abuse
I suppose I am not one to argue as I've never read any of these kind of books but I've always been sceptical about their value and truthfulness. Actually I'm surprised Scatter the Chimp hasn't come out with his version about life with Elvis!
John4126 (profile/ contact) wrote on Nov 8, 2006report abuse
We need this book? You might, i dont! And what does a real person look like? She sure looked like a woman but some of those shemales in the far east are pretty convincing. Maybe that's the secret revelation we're going to get. Oh and of course we approach the 30th anniversary. Optimum earning potential for this book!
SendToTodd (profile/ contact) wrote on Nov 8, 2006report abuse
We need this book!. Just take a look at all the other major female players in Elvis' life. With respect to each an every one of them, they were all a bit "plastic", and cover girl. Sheila was a babe, a woman, and looked a real person. I would really like to know what is inside her head, and more than that, why it didn't work out with Elvis. Perhaps she came to him too late in life. Perhaps he was frightened by her, perhaps she was a ball-breaker, but it is another story and I would like to read it!
Getlow (profile/ contact) wrote on Nov 8, 2006report abuse
What? – since when where the engaged? In general I will look forward to it, especially if it’s anything like Joyce Bova’s book and need I something to make up for the dissapointment of Jerry Schillings book which was such a wasted oppurtinity from someone I always considered one of the more brighter and articulate members of the “Memphis Mafia”. Sheila step up and let me sing for you baby
June (profile/ contact) wrote on Nov 8, 2006report abuse
I have never heard Sheila say anything but loving and positive things about Elvis so, let's hope her book is one we will treasure.

Mute girl, autistic boy 'found' @ GV
Al Ameen Service's room at Dubai Global Village where children lost at the fair are hosted. (Supplied)
Mohammad Al Sadafy
Published Sunday, January 10, 2016
Al Ameen Service’s media office has urged parents to keep a close eye on their children while visiting Global Village, after 658 kids were lost temporarily at the fair in Dubai.
The figure reflects the total number of incidents since the opening of the fair this season in November.
In a statement, Al Ameen said they have been working together with Dubai Police and Global Village to ensure security of visitors and their children.
The office spoke of two unique incidents -- one of which was when a nine-year old mute girl was brought to Al Ameen’s service room after she had got separated from her family.
"Although the girl was mute and did not have a wristband or any identification cards, Al Ameen’s officers on site managed to reunite the girl with her mother who was really thankful."
"The other incident involved an eleven-year old autistic boy, who was reunited with his family members in record time, thanks to Dubai Police and Global Village officials who cooperated with us," the statement said.
“Never leave your children unattended. Always make sure your children wear wristbands with clear mobile numbers all the time. Respect safety rules and regulations in all areas, and especially in the fun fair zone," Al Ameen Media office advised.
“We, in coordination with Dubai Police، have been allocated a big room at the Global Village where lost kids are hosted until we find their parents. In this room, we have staff who take care of these kids and also a play area for to make them feel safe and break the tension and fear of strangers.”
Al Ameen Media Office stressed that it is important for parents try to avoid crowded areas or if they wanted to go, then they need to be extra careful.

Blood Moon, July 2018: Sign of the end of the world?
The second blood moon (lunar eclipse of 2018) will dazzle astronomers next month on July 27th. The full moon of July will be red during the eclipse due to sunlight scattered throughout the atmosphere, but the religious conspiracy theorists believe the event is much more meaningful. During the "Super Blue Blood Moon" of January 31, six months ago, some religious and conspiracy theorists were urged to be previewed for the end of the world. At the time, Joel's biblical book was presented as evidence that the moon turning into ' blood ' is an apocalyptic sign.
Pastor Paul Begley, a popular conspiracy, declared that the final days were upon us. He said:
The demon is back. It's the birth of the end times. We've been living the last few days. Everything pertains to the Super moon of Blue blood, it is a prophetic sign of the end times.
The idea that the blood moon in some way signals the end of the world is linked to the free interpretations of Biblical scripture. According to space scientists Bruce McClure and Deborah Byrd of EarthSky.org, the blood moon Prophecy can be traced back to Christian pastors, Mark Blitz and John Hagee in 2013. Astronomers wrote:
From what we could gather, two Christian shepherds, Mark Blitz and John Hagee, used the term blood moon to apply to the full moons of the tetrad of 2014-2015. John Hagee seems to have popularized the term in his book of 2013, Four Blood Moons: Something is about to Change. (Four moons of blood: Something is about to change). Mark Blitz and John Hagee spoke of the lunar tetrad of 2014-2015 as representing the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. After all, the moon should be red before the end of time, right? As described in Joel 2:31: "The sun is to become dark and the moon in blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord."
Other Conspiracionistas, however, argue that the blood moon was foretold by the book of revelations that talks about big earthquakes, the sun darkening and the moon "becoming like Blood". But there is no reason to worry about any of these allegations of the end of the world, because the full moon will not really stay red on July 27th. The moon will only appear to change its tonality on earth during the eclipse, but in space the moon will remain gray. The change in color happens due to an effect known as Rayleigh spreading. When the moon plunges into the shadow of the Earth during the eclipse, some sunlight still reaches the moon. However, the sunlight would bend and spread through the Earth's atmosphere, filtering out the green and violet stripes of the visible spectrum. The effect, which turns the sunset into orange and the sky into blue, will make the moon look red. Source

RCA (label)
Dusty Groove
Dusty Groove (label)
Soul (CD, LP)
Metros — Sweetest One ... CD 7.99
One of the greatest Northern Soul albums ever – completely great all the way through, and filled with songs that have been burning up dancefloors for years! The vocals are incredible – soaring harmonies that hold together perfectly, even when the grooves are hard and heavy – and the instrumentation is great too – handled by the Pied Piper team, who were kind of a Motown offshoot that featured Jack Ashford on vibes and percussion, Dave Hamilton and Ray Monette on guitar, and Joe Hunter on piano. Hunter and Ashford handled the arrangements – with a pitch-perfect sound that's completely sublime – sweet and grooving at the same time, and put together with the same kind of care you'd find at Motown – but with all the harder-edge qualities that always made indie work from Detroit so great. Every cut is a winner, and the set is the only full album ever done by the group – with cuts that include "Egyptian Love", "Till The End Of Time", "Since I Found My Baby", "Sweetest One", "Unlucky Sun", "I'll Never Forget You", "Do The Pied Piper", and "I'm With You All The Way". Great reissue – fully remastered from the original tapes – with new liner notes too! © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.

One of the most creative club acts of the 70s – the mighty Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band! Before starting his Kid Creole & the Coconuts combo, August Darnell worked to great fame with Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band – kind of a campy, jazzy ensemble – one that ... CD

Night Beat (remastered edition)
CD...$4.99 (CD...$4.99)
Wonderful mellow work from Sam Cooke – and a set that's recorded with a sound that's very much in keeping with the "night beat" that you might expect from the title! In fact, there's not so much a "beat" as a simple easy groove – a gentle sort of "night" ... CD
Evelyn Champagne King
Face To Face (plus bonus tracks)
RCA/FTG, 1983. Used
Evelyn Champagne King will always be most popularly remembered for her massive disco pop crossover hits of the late 70s, but she progressed really nicely throughout the 80s, keeping up with the evolving dancefloor soul sounds of the times – and Face To Face is a lean, clubby electro soul and ... CD
Call On Me (with bonus tracks)
A wonderful gem from Evelyn Champagne King – her third effort with the great producer T Life, who always helped bring out the most soulful elements in King's music! Life's got a way of grooving, but never going for modes that are too easily commercial – still lots of disco and club in ... CD
Cadet/Dusty Groove, 1970. Used
Amazing soul from Chess Records – and an album that almost feels like some lost small-label soul set, or a batch of rare funky 45s! Shades Of Brown are an ultra-hip male group from Chicago – a quartet of singers with the range and depth of The Temptations or Dells at their best, ... CD

16 tracks by Howard Hewett – the ex-lead singer of Shalamar who went onto become one of the 80s strongest quiet storm vocalists! The set begins with 2 from Shalamar – "This Is For The Lover In You" and "Somewhere There's A Love" – plus lots of other mellow ... CD
In Square Circle
Tamla, 1985. Used
Mid 80s, and while never that bad (nothing Stevie does is ever terrible – well, except for "Don't Drive Drunk"!), the record lacks that certain greatness that you'll find on even the lesser Stevie Wonder albums. Still, there's some decent enough numbers that keep the album fresh ... CD
Al Green's Greatest Hits (with bonus tracks)
Hi Records/Right Stuff, 1975. Used
What can we say? Most of the biggest hits, and many of the very best tracks cut in the prime of Al Green's career – which is to say some of the very best Memphis soul ever recorded! It's just one of these Greatest Hits packages of pure, inarguable perfection – with "Call Me" ... CD
O'Jays
Back Stabbers
Philadelphia International, 1972. Used
A landmark album for the O'Jays – a set that moved them from the indie ranks to 70s megasoulstatus! After years of bumping around on a variety of labels, and in a variety of styles, the group really exploded with this wonderful set – an album that has them soaring along in the ... CD

mindSpark Learning Announces mSL futureS, Next-Generation Fellowship for Educators
By eSchool News
The free 10-month program equips teams of educators to better adapt to and embrace changes through futures thinking and resilience
mindSpark Learning (mSL), a Denver-based national nonprofit dedicated to empowering educators with industry-oriented professional learning experiences, today announced the launch of mSL futureS, a dynamic, 10-month next generation educator fellowship program. With so many unknowns, especially in the era of COVID-19, educators are expected to pivot quickly to adjust to fast-changing societal needs. mSL futureS prepares educators to accept and embrace ambiguities through this free resilience and futures thinking training. The first trimester begins July 15.
Participants must register in teams of three to five classroom educators to create their fellow group. Over the course of three trimesters, these fellow groups will work with a cohort of 20 peers to develop mental pathways to prepare for the 2020-2021 school year and beyond. They will fine-tune their problem-solving abilities and futures thinking to tackle issues like burnout antibodies, an agile mindset, social emotional resilience and community needs.
Futures thinking fosters ongoing observation, pattern recognition and conversation while considering macro forces, like environmental, social and economic factors. This mindset prepares Educator Futurists to create actionable strategies for specific issues within their organizations and communities using multiple perspectives.
During the first trimester, mSL futureS fellows will learn to develop and understand their role as Educator Futurists. The second and third trimesters involve solving problems that are relevant to their organization and iterating solutions. Each fellow group will develop a portfolio presentation detailing their experiences, challenges and outcomes at the conclusion of the fellowship.
“There is no better time to reimagine education and educators are uniquely positioned to drive innovation and create solutions leading to an education system that is better than the one we left behind before the pandemic,” said mindSpark Learning CEO Kellie Lauth. “We’re thrilled to launch mSL futureS as a way to shift educator mindsets to include futures thinking, while reinforcing resilience and empathy.”

Maharashtra ease through to quarter-final
11yCricinfo staff
A round-up of matches from the sixth day of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Cricinfo staff25-Oct-2009
Mahrashtra ensured their qualification for the knockout stage of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with a comfortable eight-wicket win over Baroda at the Poona Club Ground. Shatrunjay Gaekwad's 31-ball 45 along with a blistering 33 from Ketan Panchal took Baroda to a competitive score of 152 but it proved highly inadequate, as Maharashtra chased it down with little difficulty. Kedar Jadhav and Rohan Bhosale struck half-centuries, adding an unbeaten 94 for the third wicket, to seal victory with three overs to spare. Maharashtra take on Madhya Pradesh in the quarter-final.
Saurashtra prevailed by two runs in a thrilling game against Gujarat at the Deccan Gymkhana Ground. Chasing 149 for victory, Gujarat faltered at the start but were propped up by the middle order, Bhavik Thaker (34) and Jay Desai (32) leading the recovery. But in a see-saw game, three wickets fell for five runs before Sunny Patel (29) and last man Siddharth Trivedi added 18 to bring their team within two runs of Saurashtra's score. Earlier, wicketkeeper Sagar Jogiyani had smacked 55 to take Saurashtra to a total they just about managed to defend.
Delhi qualified for the second stage of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy following their eight-run win over Services at the Palam B Ground. After being put into bat, Delhi were off to a sound start with their openers adding 51. Aakash Chopra and Rajat Bhatia then came together for a stand of 50 for the third wicket. Bhatia was the top scorer with 44 off 37 balls and Delhi eventually posted 153. Sachin Nadkarni, the offspinner, took three middle order wickets. Services were progressing steadily till the 11th over, when they were 70 for 1. However, Delhi fought back to pick three wickets for three runs. Services had lost the well-set duo of Yashpal Singh and Imran Khan and two further strikes by the offspinner Yogesh Nagar helped Delhi maintain the momentum. Nadkarni took Services close to the target in the final over but Delhi prevailed after he was dismissed.
Three early strikes by Haryana's Joginder Sharma hurt Jammu and Kashmir early in their chase of 164 and it turned out to be a one-sided affair at the Palam A Ground. Haryana posted a strong 163 thanks to contributions by Rahul Dewan and Sunny Singh. Joginder's early burst reduced J&K to 22 for 3 and the situation got worse when half the side departed by the eighth over. Manvinder Bisla top scored with 37 but had no support as his team folded up for 105.
Himachal Pradesh booked a spot in the pre-quarter finals with a 12-run win over Punjab at the Palam A Ground in New Delhi. Himachal overcame a shaky start to post 165 for 6 thanks to Paras Dogra's unbeaten 58 and Mukesh Sharma's 41. The pair added 72 for the fifth wicket to lift the team from 53 for 4. The Punjab openers began briskly, adding 53 in 5.5 overs before Sarandeep Singh broke the stand. Punjab lost wickets at regular intervals and the pressure was right back on them. Vikramjeet Malik leaked runs but finished with three wickets to stem Punjab's resistance. Himachal will now face Jharkand in the second round.
Madhya Pradesh recorded their third successive win, beating Railways by four wickets in Indore. Both teams have qualified for the knockout stage. MP captain Jalaj Saxena (38) and Abbas Ali (33) added 64 for the third wicket to set up a successful chase of 140, while Rahul Bakshi, unbeaten in 19, sealed victory with two balls to spare. Asad Pathan (35) and Jai P Yadav (33 not out) had enabled Railways reach a competitive score, but it didn't prove enough. Railways take on Assam in the Pre quarter-finals.

Back In The Day Whitney Houston Curved Alec Baldwin And The Story Is Iconic
Whitney was definitely not saving all her love for Alec.
By Lauren Porter · April 7, 2017 December 6, 2020
There is no denying that the late. great Whitney Houston’s beauty and voice turned heads. The men were smitten with her too, and it looks like one of those men was Alec Badwin.
In his forthcoming memoir, Nevertheless, the eldest of the Baldwin brothers and veteran actor tells the story of the time he once tried to flirt with the Grammy winner and it went nowhere. She shut him down oh-so smoothly, like only Whitney can.
As the story goes, back in 1991, Baldwin was hosting NBC’s Saturday Night Live for the second time and the musical guest for the evening was none other than THE Whitney Houston. Baldwin says he was just as happy about sharing the stage with Ms. Houston as he was about hosting.
As they each rehearsed for their respective parts of the show, Baldwin approached the star to understandably fan over her numerous talents and what happened next was just iconic.
“One year I hosted [SNL] when Whitney Houston was the musical talent. After her dress rehearsal, I was introduced to her backstage. ‘You truly are the most talented singer out there today,’ I said, a bit starstruck. She paused and said, ‘I know, baby,’ then walked on.”
We’re glad Whitney let him down.
Plus, this story is honestly, truly amazing!

Cooking Equipment, Maintenance
Maintenance Tips: Steamer Care 101
Today’s connectionless steamers may be more efficient and easier to use than traditional boiler-based units, but don’t be fooled into thinking their upkeep is less important. That could be a costly mistake.
Consider the large operator on Hilton Head Island, S.C., who bought and discarded model after model, spending a small fortune as each brand and type of connectionless steamer quickly succumbed to a premature death. “They were spending $8,000 to $12,000 a pop and swapping out units every two years,” recalls Larry Crawford, service manager with Whaley Foodservice Repairs in Columbia, S.C. (now a division of PT Holdings). “They thought they were buying the wrong brands.”
The problem, of course, wasn’t the brands. It was the operator’s failure to do the small daily tasks that wore out the steamers well before their time.
Despite the widespread use of connectionless steamers among chains, many operators are lagging in knowledge of how to keep these seemingly easier-to-use units maintained properly. Some are skipping maintenance procedures they thought went away with their boiler-based units, Crawford says, and it leads to the same breakdown scenarios all steamers can be subject to if not kept up.
The Tap Isn’t Your Steamer’s Friend
The differences between connectionless and traditional steamers basically boil down to this: Connectionless units do away with a boiler and dedicated water lines, and instead employ open heating elements and refillable water reservoirs.
First, Crawford says, operators have to pay close attention to those reservoirs. “The water vessel has to be cleaned virtually every day. You have to invest in training to have this done consistently,” he says. The reason: Scale buildup remains the main culprit in reducing cooking performance, energy efficiency and the unit’s integrity.
That buildup is caused by mineral solids, deposits that are left behind when water boils to steam. And units with heating elements in direct contact with hard water naturally fall prey to deposit buildup faster than units with sealed heating elements.
So de-liming the reservoir is a key procedure for connectionless units, Crawford says. Removing the water reservoir, adding the cleaning solution for a soak and then flushing is the way to go.
Tackle those open heating elements, too, if your unit has them. They need to be flushed and soaked with a scale-inhibiting solution. Lime-scale buildup on heating elements acts as an insulator so the elements have to work harder to reach the temperatures needed to steam efficiently.
Fortunately, one advantage of connectionless units is that their open design allows operators to visually inspect for scale buildup and deposits.
Try Cleaner Water
Keeping the insides clean is one thing, but Crawford says operators also need to be wary of what they pour inside their units in the first place. Most operators have filtered and treated water for beverage machines, but some overlook the importance of using filtered water for their steamers, he notes.
One approach is to locate steamers closer to filtered water access so it’ll be easier for your staff to carry filtered water over for manual filling. “It’s not going to solve all the problems, but it’ll make cleaning less of an issue,” he says. (Another option is to look at boiler-free units that offer hookups to a source of filtered water.)
Save Your Gaskets
All steamers rely on solid gaskets and doors to maintain a tight seal and optimized cooking capability. Crawford says gaskets on these units are simple and relatively inexpensive components to replace. Even so, there’s an easy way to keep gasket replacement costs to a minimum.
“When the steamer’s not in use, leave the door ajar,” he advises. “It keeps the gasket from forming a memory [with the door], which can lead to leaks later on.” A lot of people close steamer doors because they think it looks nice, he says, and that’s not useful for the long term.

An expansive investigation into the relationship between contemporary states and the far-right It is clear that the right is on the rise, but after Brexit, the election of Donald Trump and the spike in popularity of extreme-right parties across Europe, the question on everyone's minds is: how did this happen? An expansive investigation of the ways in which a newly configured right interconnects with anti-democratic and illiberal forces at the level of the state, Europe's Fault Lines provides much-needed answers, revealing some uncomfortable truths. What appear to be "blind spots" about far-right extremism on the part of the state are shown to constitute collusion--as police, intelligence agencies and the military embark on practices of covert policing that bring them into direct or indirect contact with the far right, in ways that bring to mind the darkest days of Europe's authoritarian past. Old racisms may be structured deep in European thought, but they have been revitalised and spun in new ways: the war on terror, the cultural revolution from the right, and the migration-linked demonisation of the destitute "scrounger." Drawing on more than three decades of work for the Institute of Race Relations, Liz Fekete exposes the fundamental fault lines of racism an tarianism in contemporary Europe.

A Ride to Remember: John Bruns
John Bruns isn't exactly a race car fan, but the EveryStep Hospice patient does like cars.
It's a passion he shares with his daughter, Rachel, and one that was evident as John walked around a pace car at the Iowa Speedway recently.
The 57-year-old Greenfield resident, along with his wife, Pam, daughters, Rachel and Brenna, and their significant others, made the trip to Newton recently as part of a wish facilitated by John's EveryStep Hospice care team in Osceola.
John, who suffers from renal failure, had mentioned his desire to see a race at the Iowa Speedway to his hospice massage therapist, Connie. She then emailed EveryStep social worker Tonya Pierson, who reached out to the speedway.
While the 2019 race season had already ended, the Speedway staff offered to provide John with a free tour of the facilities and a ride in a pace car. The EveryStep Foundation also gifted the family with gas cards and money for lunch following the outing.
The family quickly made plans for the nearly two-hour trip to Newton.
On a recent rainy morning, John, Pam, Rachel, her boyfriend Chase, Brenna and her boyfriend Sebastian piled into the family van to head to Newton.
What followed was an extensive tour of the race track, club level, tower and other facilities. To cap off the tour, John and Rachel were invited to ride in one of the Speedway's pace cars, a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro.
"I can't believe that happened and I got to see it," John said.
Over the years, racing has been part in John’s life, Pam notes.
The couple volunteered at the Greater Des Moines Ruan Grand Prix shortly after they were married. John's nephew, who passed away earlier this year, was an avid race fan, Pam notes, adding that may have played a part in John’s desire to see the Speedway.
"That was something on his mind," Pam says.
Following the tour and ride, the family enjoyed lunch and talked about how much they enjoyed the afternoon.
"He was excited," Pam recalls. "He was so excited, that was all he talked about on the way home."
Seeing the smile on her husband and daughters' faces was a memory Pam won't soon forget.
"I couldn't be more happy with EveryStep," Pam says. "Everyone has been so kind. I didn't know they granted wishes, and this means a lot to us. It's been wonderful."
To help fund patient wishes and their quality of life, please consider a gift to EveryStep Foundation at everystep.org/donate.

Engine Company, Firefighting
Small Departments: Growing Beyond the Single-Line Mentality
By Jon E. Trent
All new fire departments undergo an operational growth and a maturation process that transform them into seasoned, well-trained, high-performing departments. If we were to put a label on these operational development stages, we could call them Competent, Developing, and Peak Performance. In the early years, we may strive to get all of our personnel trained to a standard level of training such as Firefighter II and EMT-B. In this early operational stage, we are striving to reach organizational competence. When we achieve this goal, we have a standard on which we can hang our hat should we need to defend our organization: We will be able to say that we have achieved a level of competence in our field.
Most small to medium-sized departments reach the competent operational level and settle into day-to-day operations. But, is that where they should stay? The answer is emphatically NO! Organizational competence is a great achievement, but don’t we owe it to our communities and our firefighters to be more than competent?
Overcome Line Staffing Issues with the “Clamp”
Decision Making with Limited Staffing: Lessons Learned
Fighting Small and Medium-Sized Box Store Fires with Limited Personnel
Overcoming an Insufficient Water Supply
As a small volunteer and combination department, our department [the Nixa (MO) Fire Protection District], had settled in on competence. It wasn’t until one training session when I asked our crews what the first-due engine and the second-due engine did that I discovered we were stuck in a small organizational paradigm. Everyone could tell me what the first-due engine did; it pulled the 1¾-inch preconnect, forced entry, and searched for victims and the seat of the fire. They were right. That is what we had done as a small department with limited personnel that had to make do with its limited resources.
However, almost no one could tell me that the second-due grabs water supply and pulls the secondary line, and no one could tell me what a third company’s tactics would be. Their answer was, “whatever command tells us to do.” We were stuck in a single-line mentality. Sure, they could tell me that we might pull a 2½-inch line on a fire beyond a single-room-and-contents fire, but anything beyond that was questionable territory.
Mission Change Needed
We had largely been successful in the tactics we knew, and that was our greatest weakness. Past success is your greatest adversary! We were a competent department, but we were far from peak performers. The first step toward becoming peak performers is to recognize you have to break the organizational paradigm you are stuck in, no matter what that might be. A new perspective on what you should be doing is nothing without a change in the operational way you do business. In other words, finding out that you have a “single-line mentality” doesn’t do a thing unless you take steps to address it.
In our case, we had to redefine our operational brand. Organizationally, we had to have buy-in on the fact that we needed to change to meet our mission. We also had to recognize that our having been successful in the past was attributable more to luck than to performance.
The second thing we had to do was to define what practices were contributing to the situation and what could we do to change them. In our case, we had worked with limited personnel so long that it had become the normal way of doing business. That was more of a mentality to overcome than a training issue to address.
Developing Stage: from Competent to Peak Performance
So, we began to discuss operational guidelines, such as task-assigned seating and standard orders for arriving companies. As we developed these formal organizational documents, we entered the developing stage of our growth. Company drills and multicompany drills began to take on the form of the operational brand we were pursuing.
We had also observed during training and on-scene operations that the firefighters were continually shutting down lines and observing instead of having a continuous flow of water. We tracked that problem to our training. We had been conducting the overwhelming majority of our live fire training in a Class A burn trailer. In that environment, we had our firefighters limit the water flow to keep steam production at a minimum. We were teaching our firefighters to flow water, stop and observe, and then flow a little more water. We changed our training.
Rural Connections: Water Supply
Throw Back to Basics: Rural Water Supply
Water Supply: Preplanning Alternatives
Throw Back to Basics: Preconnect Hose Loads
We emphasized large and continuous water flow in training and on the fireground. In fact, when I would arrive on scene, everyone would pass the word, “Flow water, flow water, flow water.” And, it worked! Our on-scene performance was at a much higher level of performance than at any other time previously.
As we began to develop peak performance on engine company operations, we identified another “single-line mentality” tactic: We were not throwing ground ladders on a consistent basis on our routine structure fires. We had run mostly single-story residential structure fires in our district; and in the past, we didn’t have a situation where we needed to rescue a civilian or one of our own from a second- or third-story window. Remember, past success is your greatest adversary!
The majority of the residential and multifamily structures in our area are less than 10 years old, so we did not have a lot of experience with fires in those structures. We now realized that this was our number-one deficiency in our operational brand. We were competent at throwing ground ladders, but, once again, we were far from peak performance. We identified the need for a new ladder truck that carried a full complement of ground ladders since we have the only ladder truck in our automatic-aid area.
However, our crews realized they didn’t need that new ladder truck to move toward our goals. They began training regularly on single firefighter ladder throws, and we began to ladder structures every chance we had–if there was a potential for a working fire in the building, it got laddered. We adopted this concept from “Truck Company Operations: Boston’s Ladder Culture,” (Fire Engineering, March 2015), a great article by Shawn Donovan of the Boston Fire Department. It was the perfect explanation of what we were striving for in our operational brand. We wanted peak performing, aggressive engine companies; and to support those operations, we needed peak performing, aggressive truck company work!
Now, keep in mind that we are still a small to medium-sized department and we still can’t send a full first-alarm assignment with our staffing. However, since we work with our automatic-aid companies, it really doesn’t matter whether our second- or third-due engine is from our department or from one our area departments. The concepts are the same. We achieved our growth with the help of many outside people, who assisted us with selecting our ladder truck who instructed us in engine and truck company operations. You see, no matter how small you are, there are always great people with experience in our field looking to help you in any way they can.
You don’t have to settle for a competent department. As a matter of fact you shouldn’t settle for a competent department. We should all strive to be at peak performance in our operational brand. The keys to getting there are to identify your “single line mentality”; strategically plan how to address that deficiency with quality, intense training sessions; and strive for peak performance.
By the way, you don’t have to be a small department to have a “single line mentality.” Every department has operational tactics they could improve. The question is, do you want to be just a competent department or do you want to achieve operational peak performance?

Beer choices abound: Great for consumers but tough on large brewers

KEYWORDS beer / production
A new report from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG), supplier of pumping technologies to the brewery industry, finds brewers will need to be able to create a wide range of beer styles while maintaining a high degree of process efficiency if they want to remain competitive.
“The pressure to produce high quality beers at the lowest cost increases every year,” says Rod White, master brewer and assistant professor at the International Centre for Brewing Sciences at the University of Nottingham. White helped develop the report, “Watson-Marlow on Better Business in Brewing: Global Trends 2020-2025.”
Consumers have been more discerning in their choice of beer, and want to try more beer styles—all while brewers have needed to be able to shift batches at a moment’s notice. At the same time, consumers expect higher water sustainability—something that has been mostly elusive to the brewing industry.
Recent years have seen slow growth for mainstream and discounted beer categories. This is due to rising consumer spending on premium and super-premium beers, says the study. Higher incomes and changing lifestyles have influenced consumers to try craft and artisan or premium beers.
In 2018, the U.S. was the second largest beer producing country worldwide—save China being the first. The U.S. has seen a sustained rise in new craft and microbreweries, which appear to be beating the big international brands in growth.
In addition, Europe’s craft beer trend has been rising, especially in Italy, Spain, France and the Czech Republic—though it took longer to develop in the UK, where consumers are making up for lost time. The global beer market is worth approximately $593 billion, and is projected to reach $685.4 billion by 2025, representing a CAGR of 1.8%.
Challenges and solutions for brewers
In many areas, brewers are not selling exclusively to distributors in large volumes, but also to supermarkets, which imposes many of the same issues that other producers face. Retailers insist on smaller batches, and they expect low stock levels to be replenished regularly at the brewer’s cost. This makes operation, production and delivery tough to forecast.
Water scarcity in some geographical areas and consumer sustainability expectations also challenge brewers, especially with wastewater output. For example, in smaller municipalities, sewer and wastewater treatment capacity can struggle to keep up with the volumes of brewery effluent. The high density of particulates in brewery wastewater can be too high and have improper pH values for faculties to handle, making it necessary for breweries to invest in their own pre-treatment systems, or face expensive surcharges.
To fix the supply chain issues, brewers are taking matters into their own hands by buying out specialist wholesalers. This has increased capital intensity. In addition, the emergence of new technologies—including sensors, data analytics, AI, IIoT and smart processing operations—is expected to help brewers predict operational performance when faced with challenging circumstances.
Applying machine learning through big data can be used in various ways. For example, it’s now possible to predict the percentage of beer fermented in each batch, and when it is time to move to the next step in production. By using AI to improve production forecasting, along with horizontal distribution channels, brewers can ensure smooth distribution, leading to reduced wastage.

Worst Year Ever?
Discussion in 'High School Cheerleading' started by Sterling von Shimmer, Jun 30, 2018.
Sterling von Shimmer When all else fails.... I shimmy
What was your worst cheer year ever, either as a coach or athlete? In terms of injuries, unforeseen circumstances, athlete/parent antics, unwanted policy changes, etc.
Mine was this last year. The wildfires in our area affected some of the girls’ families financially so we couldn’t afford UCA. Which meant that our only National comp would be USA. The girls were disappointed they couldn’t go to Florida, but otherwise fine. They’d done (and won) USA plenty of times in the past and after a few years bouncing around in the top five, they felt ready to take their title back this year. Practices were going flawlessly. They were nailing their STUNT routine time after time. And perhaps most significantly, they’d beaten Oak Ridge earlier in the year... aka the team that would take second in D1 large varsity at UCA. And if they could beat a high tier UCA D1 varsity team, they could FOR SURE beat anyone in the room at USA since it’s much less competitive. They were ready.
And then the drunk driver happened.
One week before USA, the girls were headed home from a pre-Nationals sleepover when a drunk driver T-boned them at 10 am on a freeway onramp. Thank Christ no one was killed or seriously hurt, but it just so happened that five girls from five different stunt groups were in that car and each one was injured just enough to cut our team off at the knees (broken hand, broken rib, etc.). Had it happened like a week earlier, I think I could’ve reshuffled some things last minute and still made a go of it. It wouldn’t have been pretty, but we could’ve done it. However, one week out was too late. So they had to sit out of both their National comps, as well as their STUNT comp. The girls were so sick over it that the injured ones offered to hide their casts under their liners or get their casts removed early for the comp so they could compete anyway and just smile through the pain. It was so heartwarming/breaking to see them try and make it work and how supportive they were of each other. Between the wildfires and the drunk driver, they had every reason to implode. But instead they really impressed me with the patience and encouragement I saw them extend toward each other. No one blamed anyone, no one lashed out, no one pulled passive-aggressive social media tantrums... they’d really grown up and matured when the situation called for it. And seeing that was enough for me.
Happy ending though: after this nonexistent competition year, every single senior still made it onto her college/pro team. So as of right now we have alumni on cheer teams from Berkeley, UCLA, Boise State, Fresno state, San Diego state, Hofstra, Rutgers, UNLV, Oregon, Ohio state (sorry THE Ohio state, she keeps correcting me), Morehead, Minnesota, Washington, USC, Central Florida, UNC, and two on the Raiderettes.
Additional happy ending: the parents got together and funded a Disneyland trip for the girls that they just got back from, so they got to go anyway. And this time they got to stay at the Disneyland Hotel with UNLIMITED ROOM SERVICE (within reason), so they were happy.
And that, hands down, was my worst year ever. Yours?

ScottyB I have my own cheer message board
Industry Professional
Currently, or it feels like it so at the moment.
A week or so after tryouts in April, one of my girls (literally the strongest girl on our mat - always full of energy/spirit at everything we did) was a passenger in a jeep rollover accident and was ejected from the vehicle because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. She was in a coma for weeks. Severe traumatic brain injuries plus some vertebraes being broken. Silver lining, she's alive and there is hope for her progress. But damn, we can't go back in time and tell her to buckle up or tell that teen driver to calm down behind the wheel, and that part sucks.
She is awake now, but not herself again yet. Re-learning every single part of what being alive means: breathing while chewing, brushing her teeth, talking with her lips and facial expressions, using both hands, using both eyes together, walking, sitting up, the list goes on and on. But damn she fights. I've gotten some partial hugs and gotten to play thumb war with her, gotten to try to make her laugh and fail, and also be successful in finally hearing that laugh again. Our girls have struggled with this a lot; they lost a friend/teammate partially and aren't sure how to deal and cope with it this loss. So we are working on that and attending her rehab sessions in small groups to keep her fighting and to keep the girls together in spirit.
Truly was a nightmare come to life when our principal called us moments after hearing from the police saying something had happened to one of our girls.
We've had lots of tears, strong moments as a team, frustrations with understanding how life and the universe work, but ultimately we and the girls decided this season we are going to fight. Fight for her, fight for ourselves, and fight for each other.
We just finished up choreo and built an awesome routine, girls are excited. Then we surprised them with the music being themed around our "fight" which inspired them a bit more. Then told them one of the voiceovers in the routine is actually their teammate who is sidelined and fighting her fight, which brought back the tears but in a fiery and impassioned way.
So hopefully this only turns out to be the worst start to a year ever. Sorry for the essay, ya'll.

CheerItFullOut I'm an announcer on CBS for Worlds (or should be)
Wow, both your stories got me. I’m so sorry
ScottyB- I have been in prayer for your young cheerleader, and my whole team has brought up well wishes for her in our cheer circle. Stay strong! Glad to hear of her progress.
Last year was my personal worst year EVER...all in one month, at the height of our season: my husband had his truck stollen, I lost my “healthy” father to a freak brain aneurism all while my grandmother had a heart attack (they were both in ICU’s in different cities) and after returning from being gone from unsuccessfully trying to save my fathers life for 3-4 weeks at UCSF, My husband lost his uncle (also) to an aneurism ... I came back to a completely different squad filled with social fires that I had to put out one by one (at all levels) ... my competition teams were completely divided and totaly broken. I had a starter out with a concussion... a talented athlete who had completely given up on the sport because she was convinced her injury had overcome her.
It was like I returned to complete and utter chaos and I didn’t know what had happened to my once thriving/happy teams...To top it off, I had a coach quit just a few days before my fathers funeral with our kids having multiple outstanding commitments she was in charge of in my absence. It was just a complete nightmare. After returning, I spent the majority of my time with the kids problem solving, mediating and playing major “catch up” on skills as I came to find after my near month away most practices were either canceled or were held as forums for conflict exchange.
On a positive: This year has been the biggest blessing and what I believe to be a gift. We have a committed staff and amazing athletes (many from the previous year and many new kids)
We have awesome parents and renewed sense of spirit. We may have had a turbulent season but I truly feel it made the teams I have now thankful and mindful.
What they say is true... sometimes you really can’t learn to appreciate the sun unless you’ve had some hard rain.

OH MY GOD NOW MINE SOUNDS STUPID.
No but really, that sucks so hard and I’m so sorry to hear that happened to her and everyone who cares for her. I hope she makes a full recovery and that your team has nothing but success in the future.

Thanks for your words and support. I will let my girls know!
Glad things turned around for you guys too.
Sterling von Shimmer said: ↑
Don't feel bad. It helped to kinda get it off my chest.
She is definitely striving towards it, so we are all very hopeful!
Wearing seatbelts is really so critical. I also had a girl roll her Jeep in the middle of the night after a basketball game who wound up getting tossed from the car and sustaining a stab wound to her abdomen all because...no seatbelt. Afterward, she was dazed but otherwise unharmed so she picked herself up and just started walking aimlessly down the road. Fortunately some Good Samaritan saw her — a 16yo cheerleader in uniform walking in the street, bleeding from the stomach, and dazed out of her mind — picked her up, and dropped her off the the police station (to this day I hate to think what might’ve happened if the wrong person had picked her up...*shudder*). Photos of the accident in the daylight showed the Jeep wreckage on the of the road and a trail of her little oil-soaked size 7 Kaepa footprints walking down the street to nowhere. Super eerie.
But the fun didn’t end there for her. This girl was a real life French-bred knockout who never went a weekend without a date or a party or an “IDGAF” attitude. You either loved her or hated her, and lots of people hated her. Consequently, all through her recovery rumours swirled that she’d rolled her Jeep because she was high or drunk or had just come back from cheating on her boyfriend (???) and she had to deal with all that crap while tottering around school on crutches because the two-inch stab wound on her stomach meant she couldn’t walk on her own yet.
Anyway, this all could’ve been avoided with a freaking seatbelt. Or not driving a Jeep. I’m picking up a pattern here.
*Looks at own Jeep*
Why did I get RL Stein/Judy Blume vibes from the way you wrote
Because all I read in jr high was RL Stine? The evil cheerleaders series was my jam.
Same...OMG, SAME
BOBBI AND CORKY CORCORAN FTW.
I reread the first three recently and realised nothing made even a shred of sense. Like a girl is dead, but then is alive, but then has really been dead for awhile. And nowhere mentioned are her parents or the cops or social services or her cheer coach or anyone who MIGHT have found that a bit strange. Just a bunch of cheerleaders who are like, “Whelp, it was ghosts I guess.” THIS CONTINUED FOR FIVE BOOKS.
Right?! But we ATE that stuff up like Thanksgiving dinner! LOL- Corky (IM DYING)
Oh the scenarios...
like if your LAST name is FEAR and you live in Shadeyside ... you’re a walking Red Flag
Your sister/extended family was always a suspect, can’t trust the boyfriend/girl running against you for HC queen or your roommate (I guess this is kinda real teen life) -LOL
Everyone had a weird trendy 90’s name - Dax, Mason, Shane, Destiny, Livvy
- I’m going on Amazon to order every RL Stein Fear Street book EVER now, bye
