Dead capital keeps native reserves poor
www.torontosun.com/michel-kelly-gagnon, p. Web
Several years ago, I was asked by a journalist to explain why people in Third World countries were poor while we were rich. She had never heard any other explanation than the Marxist claim that those poor nations were being exploited and deprived of their wealth by evil and greedy multinationals.
I told her about the ground-breaking research done by famed Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto. He showed convincingly how their own governments systematically prevented the populace from accumulating capital and creating wealth.
When it takes months of paperwork and it costs a small fortune in bribes to simply register a small business, when everything you possess can be taken away because property rights are not recognized or enforced, it's awfully difficult for entrepreneurship to flourish. De Soto estimated there exists at least $9.3 trillion US in what's termed "dead capital," untitled assets held by the world's poor.
I was reminded of this when I read the news about the sorry fate of the native residents of Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario. These people live in awful conditions reminiscent of those in Third World shanty towns. They have little control over their immediate environment and because of this, little incentive to feel responsible about it.
Ottawa certainly sends money, huge amounts of it actually, on a per capita basis. But instead of being invested, this capital is consumed or diminished through waste and corruption, as arguably is a large part of foreign aid.
And just as in Third World countries, First Nations people who live on reserves have no or insecure property rights on their land. The partial rights of individual ownership that do exist cannot be fully exploited. The land is owned by the federal Crown, which has been managing reserves for over a century on the basis of the paternalistic Indian Act.
How can this situation be reversed? There are Canadians who have come to the same conclusions as de Soto.
"The Indian Act reserve system substantially reduces land value and promotes low value land use. It prevents us from accessing the equity in our lands, raises our costs of doing business and discourages investment," says former chief Manny Jules, who now works to advance the First Nations Property Ownership Initiative.
Jules collaborated on a recent essay, Beyond the Indian Act: Restoring Aboriginal Property Rights, with well-known University of Calgary political scientist Tom Flanagan, André Le Dressay and Christopher Alcantara.
They argue that Ottawa should transfer titles to the land to Indian bands, which could then create real ownership rights for their citizens. The integrity of the land base would be protected, while new opportunities would open up for individuals to improve, buy, exchange, borrow against, and generally profit from real land ownership.
I fully realize that this would not instantly solve all the problems face by Canada's First Nations. But it would be a significant first step to help natives living on reserves take economic control of their lives. And I am glad to see this week that Conservative MPs have advanced this concept in a pre-budget submission.
If China and India have managed to get out of sordid poverty and to grow quickly after adopting capitalist reforms over the past decades, it's certainly not unrealistic to expect the same in our own backyard. Ottawa needs to listen to Flanagan & company and give to native people the same property rights enjoyed by all other Canadians.

Universe (1960) may be the NATIONAL FILM BOARD 's (NFB) most honoured film. It was nominated for an Oscar and won not only the Jury Prize for Animation at the Cannes Film Festival, but more than 20 other major awards.
The NFB put together its A-team for this 26-minute masterpiece, with Roman Kroitor and Colin LOW directing, Tom DALY editing, narration by Stanley Jackson, photography by Wolf Koenig, editing by Kathleen Shannon and music by Eldon RATHBURN. It takes the viewer far into the regions of space, beyond the moon, the sun and the Milky Way, and into the galaxies of deep space. It's a startling venture into groundbreaking special effects, a grand tour of the universe from our own planet to the far-flung galactic clusters, within the limits of mid-20th-century astronomical knowledge (some of which is now dated).
The film is a marvel of animation, made with such mathematical precision that it became required viewing by NASA technicians as they plotted to send a manned spacecraft to the moon. It attracted the attention of Stanley Kubrick, who used some of the techniques developed by the NFB team for the special effects in his epic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Universe won CANADIAN FILM AWARDS for film of the year and best theatrical short, and the BAFTA (the British Oscars) for animated short.

BkiUet3xK7IABLfxIqez | Q: How would you truncate the result of summing a group of numbers to exactly 8 decimal places? For my cryptocurrency trading program, I want to truncate all floating point numbers to exactly 8 places. How would I do this in Clojure?
Here is a related code sample:
(with-precision 8 :rounding DOWN
(bigdec
(+ 0.2
0.0109 ; 1/1
0.0285 ; 1/2
0.02858 ; 1/3
0.01963 ; 1/4
0.00392977 ; 1/5
0.00956410 ; 1/6
0.02322879 ; 1/7
0.01547502 ; 1/8
0.01616702 ; 1/9
0.01463114 ; 1/10
0.00843843 ; 1/11
0.01162393 ; 1/12
)))
It currently returns 0.39066819999999997 but I would like it to return 0.39066819.
A: I would use with-precision which allows you to specify the precision and rounding mode for your math operations with BigDecimal numbers - and you should use them instead of floating point numbers for handling currency amounts. Notice that M in the number literal indicates it's a BigDecimal value. You can coerce your numbers to BigDecimal with bigdec. If you would like to literally truncate the result you need to use DOWN rounding mode.
(with-precision 3 :rounding DOWN
(+ (bigdec 0.1111111111) 0.22222222M))
;; => 0.333M
Make sure that your operations are done on BigDecimals as the conversion to bigdec is not impacted by with-precision:
(with-precision 3 :rounding DOWN
(bigdec 0.11111111))
;; => 0.11111111M
(with-precision 3 :rounding DOWN
(* 1M (bigdec 0.11111111)))
;; => 0.111M
If you would like to modify the BigDecimal value directly you need to use Java interop (either via BigDecimal constructor accepting properly configured MathContext or by calling .round instance method).

Matt's complaint against DPD

[LAPSED] DPD used to be amazing, now they are appalling...
Complaint against DPD
I paid £10 for a specific delivery slot, because no-one would have been home in the original slot. The driver came to the house, took a picture of it and left a calling card on the gate. He didn't even attempt to deliver the parcel, just claimed no-one was home. As if I'm going to pay £10 for a delivery and then not be in....... After I called and complained and re-arranged a delivery for that evening, I waited in the front garden, but he never showed. I tried to get a refund, but they told me I'd have to get it back from the sender! Even though I paid DPD for the delivery, not the sender! When I demanded to speak to a manager, I was told that there weren't any in the building. This was at 10:15, over 3 hours after the call centre opened. With service like this, how are they still in business?

AirTalk® | January 7, 2020
Facebook says it is banning "deepfake" videos, the false but realistic clips created with artificial intelligence and sophisticated tools, as it steps up efforts to fight online manipulation.
The social network said in a blog post late Monday that it's beefing up its policies to remove videos edited or synthesized in ways that aren't apparent to the average person, and which could dupe someone into thinking the video's subject said something he or she didn't actually say. The news was first reported by the Washington Post and later confirmed by Facebook.
Created by artificial intelligence or machine learning, deepfakes combine or replace content to create images that can be almost impossible to tell are not authentic. Facebook's new rules won't include parody or satire, or clips edited just to change the order of words. The exceptions underscore the balancing act Facebook and other social media services face in their struggle to stop the spread of online misinformation and "fake news" while also respecting free speech and fending off allegations of censorship.
The U.S. tech company has been grappling with how to handle the rise of deepfakes after facing criticism last year for refusing to remove a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slurring her words, which was viewed more than 3 million times. Experts said the crudely edited clip was more of a "cheap fake" than a deepfake. The problem of altered videos is taking on increasing urgency as experts and lawmakers try to figure out how to prevent deepfakes from being used to interfere with U.S. presidential elections in November. Facebook said any videos that don't meet existing standards for removal can still be reviewed by independent third-party fact-checkers. Those deemed false will be flagged as such to anyone trying to share or view them, which Bickert said was a better approach than just taking them down.

BkiUfNA5qhLBlnv5FpBx | Individual farm certification is a unique concept of organic certification. A farm can certify under NPOP (National Organic Standards), EC (European Standards), NOP (US Standards) and JAS (Japanese Standards). Minimum documentation makes the certification process easier, and it is cost-effective as only one day required for the third party inspection. Individual farm certification is beneficial for horticulture crops like Mango, Pomegranate, Orange, Litchi, Strawberry, Grape, etc.
Producer groups, farmer's cooperatives of marginal farmers, contract production and small-scale processing units can certify under Organized Grower Group certification.
Important points to keep in mind while seeking Organic certification for OGG: The group shall have a legal status. The member limit in the group is twenty-five to five hundred. The operator should have adequate knowledge of the Organic Standards. The internal control system shall establish. Internal inspections of all members in the group shall carry out twice annually. Adequate records of inspections maintained by the internal control system. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Major faults with UK government-endorsed 'anti-semitism definition'
April 6, 2017 at 8:31 am | Published in: Europe & Russia, Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine, UK
Image of the royal court of justice
A legal opinion by a prominent barrister has found major faults with a UK government-endorsed 'definition' of anti-semitism that human rights campaigners say constitutes a threat to freedom of speech and Palestine solidarity activism.
In December 2016, the UK government 'adopted' a definition of anti-semitism formulated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). Controversially, criticism of the state of Israel is included in the definition's guidance.
The opinion was prepared by Hugh Tomlinson QC in response to concerns raised by a coalition of groups: Jews for Justice for Palestinians, Independent Jewish Voices, Free Speech on Israel and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
According to Tomlinson, the definition is badly drafted, creates scope for confusion and inconsistency, and potentially "chills" the debate around Israel/Palestine.
Importantly, Tomlinson clarifies that the definition is not legally binding and that public bodies are under no obligation to adopt it. Those that do must take care applying it or risk "unlawfully restricting legitimate expressions of political opinion in violation of statutory duties to ensure freedom of expression and assembly."
Tomlinson makes clear that the definition cannot be used to judge criticism of Israel to be anti-semitic, unless that criticism expresses hatred towards Jews.
Properly understood in its own terms… the IHRA definition does not mean that activities such as describing Israel as a state enacting a policy of apartheid, as practising settler colonialism or calling for policies of boycott divestment or sanctions against Israel can properly be characterised as anti-semitic.
He added: "A public authority which sought to apply the IHRA Definition to prohibit or sanction such activities would be acting unlawfully."
Campaigners have expressed concerns that the definition's poor drafting and understanding by public bodies runs the serious risk of unlawfully restricting freedom of expression of political opinion. Earlier this year, the University of Central Lancashire cancelled an event as part of Israeli Apartheid Week, citing the government-endorsed definition.
The Opinion was launched in the House of Lords on March 27. Speakers included leading solicitor Sir Geoffrey Bindman of Bindman's LLP, an expert on freedom of expression, and retired Lord Justice of Appeal, Sir Stephen Sedley.

Local state trooper hangs up badge after 42 years
Staunton News Leader
As a fifth-grader at Wayne Hills Elementary School in Waynesboro, young Kenny Hyden would regularly don his crossing guard vest and gear as a safety patrolman and help guide fellow students across the street. It was definitely a precursor of things to come.
"As time went on, I always wanted to be a state trooper," he said while admitting that it was their natty attire that first got him interested. "They looked good!"
As a teenager Hyden worked in a local motorcycle shop, which was frequented by a state trooper, and the two would regularly discuss police work. Hyden graduated from Blue Ridge Community College with a degree in police science but was still too young to become a trooper, so he did the next best thing and began working as a state police dispatcher in Culpeper. He vividly remembers his first day on the job.
"I was scared to death," he said. "Didn't know what to think."
A fellow dispatcher told him not to worry and joked that he had "six months to fail."
A little more than a year after he started, Hyden turned 21 and applied to become a state trooper. Forty-two years later, with nearly all of those years spent patrolling Virginia roads, he would call it a career. During his first day of retirement last week, Hyden admitted he already felt a little different.
"I've never been unemployed in my life. I'm a worker," said the 62-year-old Hyden. "I'm not working today and a little bit of me misses it."
Hyden will also be missed at the Area 17 headquarters in Staunton, where he spent 32 of his last 34 years. "He was a consummate professional," said First Sgt. Scott VanLear. "I've never seen anyone more dedicated to public safety and the state police."
During his four-decade career, Hyden dealt with the public on a daily basis, be it as a patrolman, five-years with D.A.R.E. or a brief stint as a special agent. Hyden is definitely a people person and one gets the sense that he'll miss the daily interaction with motorists.
"We care for everybody that's out there," he said.
Over the years Hyden said he learned to better communicate with people, a skill he said not every trooper has, which he believes could save more lives. "Everybody is somebody," he said. "You have to adapt your communications skills. You don't talk to a 16-year-old like you do the 50-year-old drunk who is an old bastard and hateful."
Police work, though, especially for those who deal so frequently with death, can also be a trying experience.
"I am sick to death looking at dead people," Hyden said.
It's those images of the men, women and children that Hyden saw mutilated, crushed and disfigured that will be hard to purge from his mind. "Those images don't go away overnight," he said.
There were also the countless heart-wrenching acts of dealing with the next-of-kin when there was a road fatality. "I don't have to deal with that anymore," Hyden said with a sense of relief.
Now, 42 years after he began his career with the Virginia State Police, Hyden is finally hanging up his gun and badge for good. With no immediate plans for the future, he has earned the right to take it easy.
"I feel a sense of relief that my tour of duty is over," Hyden said.

BkiUdtc5qdmB642cv54v | About Easy Painting and my art journey.
From managing maintenance at a 2500 employee sized factory, to painting flowers and now a web business!
This is about easy painting and the creation of this amazing website.
It's always interesting to hear a fellow artist's journey. So here's my journey into the realm of art and about this painting website.
I remember Daniel, tongue extended to the corner of his mouth, crayon pushed to the limit, extracting every ounce of color onto the paper as he mashed the wax down with each scrumble.
He had a vision and needed no preliminary outlines. Sometimes crayons broke, but at the end of the day he was a 6 year old wonder.
Every time I pick up and smell a box of crayons, I'm rushed back to that day! I wanted to learn how to do that!
After High School, I dreamed of being an illustrator in the Air Force but the AF had me fixing radios for my 6 years.
"Yes, you can cross-train and become a pilot if you want!"
Needless to say, they were all lies, and, I was shaved bald, I missed Christmas with family, and I was never allowed to get out of the career they had chosen for me!
After the Air Force I took a job in industry, but I continued to follow my passion:art. I worked in the factory and painted at night.
I'm not a naked painter, it was summer, and working in the factory, I painted late at night.
And, like most artists today, I knew I needed a web presence for advertising.
I attempted working that website on my own. Putting in tons of money, countless hours, and having to promote it too through the search engines.
Having neither the skills nor the time to put into that website, (remember, my passion is painting) it sold less than 6 prints!
More about easy painting techniques.
While searching online, I found a free SBI tool called Make Your Words Sell.
I also discovered (through the SiteSell process) that I could teach about my passion too! I didn't even know I could teach, but the process just opened up doors that, well, as you can see about easy painting techniques, it's brought the monster teacher out in me.
I'm not a computer wiz! Yet, I built this website using their program and so can you!
Are you interested in keeping up with the site? Signup for your free e-Magazine and learn more about how to paint with oils with the signup box in the upper right column.
Ask yourself this, Why a website?
Most artists want to improve their art working skills. This site helps in that respect by providing some of the best art instruction found on the web. It's about easy painting techniques that improve your art.
The second thing you probably want is a way to sell your paintings!
That's where Site Build It would come into play.
I've had other artists proclaim a lot of negatives about building their own site, especially when you have such competition (at least in the print market) as image kind and fine art america. Other sites like Etsy are also in competition, but folks don't understand, you are still a little fish in a big market on these sites.
With an SBI site, which pulls alot of traffic, it can be funneled to these areas that offer your art work.
I've not found a single web-hosting, web-building, promotional package yet that will post their customers success rates!
I looked closely at their testimonials and finally called to talk to a rep.
Being bitten by get rich schemes before with empty promises and pie in the sky guarantees, though my excitement level was hi, I was still hesitant.
Going over in my mind the SBI way and rereading the e-books, I couldn't sleep for 2 nights. My intuitive side kept stepping in and saying this was so right! After the 2 sleepless nights, and many discussions with my closest advisor, my wife agreed, lets try it! I took the leap and bought into the package.
One of the promises was that the site, once put together, would build traffic quickly and help direct it to my original site. But this isn't a get rich quick scheme! It took several weeks before I felt I had enough info ready to even begin publishing pages.
Site Build It helped me those first critical weeks to figuring out what exactly to write about, selecting a great domain name, and thinking of ways that the site could bring in income (monetizing). Site Build It removes the technical barriers allowing me to concentrate on building my business.
Many functions are completely automated. I don't need to know anything upfront about building a Web site in order to succeed. The tedious, "under-the-hood" stuff is handled automatically so I focus on other important business-building activities.
Take for example this "about easy painting" page. After typing up my text, I do a simple copy paste into their software, a wholla, you see what I've written!
My other site had the same functionality, but none of the front end help, or automatic features for promoting the site or building the site right the first time!
And I'm not ashamed to say, I paid 20 times more for my original site. (I've since shut it down) Yes, its been alot of work putting the site up, but I've had great help along the way with the guides, and the forums! I don't consider myself a "webmaster" or "computer geek". My html knowledge is very basic. What is "java-script?" Who cares, I don't need it to paint my paintings. Or in building this website with Site Build It.
And this site is now well positioned within it's niche!
And I've not spent a cent in "pay-per-click" advertising,or any other advertising for that matter! Not only that, But this site is generating some serious money (at least in my situation).
My passion is painting. Anything that helps to increase my time at the easel is worth the effort.
We all have hobbies that we sometimes are very passionate about. Click here to see what you can do with your passion and knowledge!
I also need to acknowledge some very special people in my life. Without my wonderful wife, and support from family and friends, I don't believe I'd have been able to chase my dreams. I also would like to thank my daughter. As without her courage as an example, I probably would have never learned some very hard lessons. Click here to see her whole story: Marlena's website. The link will open in a new window.
It is a wonderful website setup for the support of families in crisis.
One of the things I personally have learned through the experience is one must live in the "today". It's ok to remember yesterday, as some of life's hardest lessons must be remembered, but never dwell to long there as life will slip past you. It's ok to dream about the future, because without goals, you will not know where to take the next step. But stay too long there, and you become just a day dreamer, as life again will slip past you. Concentrate on living for just today. Because today, right now, is where your happiness can be found.

The Galilee of China faces new era under Xi Jinping

Ying Fuk-tsang
From 2014 to 2016, the Chinese Communist Party conducted a systematic campaign of cross removals in Zhejiang province, the most populous Christian area of China in terms of the percentage of the population. The epicentre of Christianity there is the city of Wenzhou, known as the Jerusalem of the East.
In recent months, Chinese authorities have turned their attention to Henan province, the most populous Christian area of China by absolute numbers and known as the Galilee of China.
Measures were reportedly imposed on Catholic and Protestant churches in the central province, especially bans on minors from participating in church activities and requests for parents to not allow their children to enter religious places or to believe in God.
These incidents have given rise to concerns that they represent a new trend reflecting the central government's religious policy.
I particularly researched reports related to religious policy across the province on the websites of Henan Provincial Ethnic and Religious Committee and Henan Provincial United Front Work Department to assess the latest situation on the administration of religious affairs in Henan and to examine how the Henan model is being carried out.
How will the Galilee of China fare under President Xi Jinping's new era of religious order?
Henan is the largest Protestant Christian province in China. According to a survey published in 1922, there were 344,000 communicants across China in 1918 while Henan had about 12,000, accounting for 3.6 per cent of the total and ranking 10th in the country, far behind coastal provinces.
Protestant Churches in Henan experienced significant growth between 1920 and 1940. Before the People's Republic of China was established by the Communist Party, Henan accounted for 10 per cent of the total population of Christians in the country and had become the most prominent developing province in inland China, second only to coastal Zhejiang.
The 120,000 Protestants in Henan came mainly from Lutheran Churches (15,613, or 13 per cent), China Inland Mission (12,722, or 10.6 per cent), Church of Christ in China (10,780, or 8.9 per cent) and the Baptist Church (8,491, or seven per cent).
After China implemented its open-door policy, a survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences focusing on the development of Christianity in Henan revealed that the number of Protestants before the Cultural Revolution was about 100,000 but the figure jumped to more than 520,000 by 1982 and to more than 830,000 in 1988.
Li Pingye of the Central United Front Work Department of the Communist Party admitted that the average annual growth of the Protestant population in Henan was about 50,000 in the 1980s and more than 130,000 by the early 1990s. By 2004, according to the statistics of the Amity Foundation, the Protestant population of Henan had reached two million, accounting for 23 per cent of the country's total.
Regarding the latest statistics, Lu Yunfeng, a sociology professor at Beijing University, said the proportion of Protestants in Henan is 5.6 per cent of the whole population. The proportion of Protestants in cities, villages and towns is 3.9 per cent, 6.6 per cent and 1.7 per cent respectively. The proportion of the population who participate in Protestant organisations is 1.9 per cent, which is higher than the proportion of those who participate in unions (1.4 percent).
A research group of the Religious Studies Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences conducted a survey in Kaifeng city and Nanyang city of Henan in 2012 and noted that Protestants in Nanyang accounted for 2.4 per cent of the city's population while those in Kaifeng accounted for 1.8 per cent.
The development of family churches in Nanyang has been very fast. In Chengguan town of Fangcheng County, there is only one location run by the Three-Self Patriotic Movement with more than 50 believers, while family churches have about 200 locations with nearly 10,000 believers. In Xinye County of Nanyang, there are only 10 churches under the Three-Self system while family churches have as many as 160 locations.
It is no wonder some people overseas have referred to Henan as the Galilee of China and Wenzhou as the Jerusalem of China. They are the two powerhouses of Christian development in China.
Ying Fuk-tsang is a professor and director of the Divinity School of Chung Chi College at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

BkiUcuLxK4tBViZLFDT9 | ASLComp SWORD BEACH: "On, On You Noble English" covers the British attack on Sword Beach on D-Day 6th June 1944. It focuses on the actions of the 8th British brigade, which provided the beach assault battalions and then attacked several strongpoint's inland; is also includes the counter attack by 21st Panzer in the afternoon of D day and lastly considers the actions fought on the flanks of the beach landings by 4 and 41 RM commando.
La Breche d'Hermanville, FRANCE, 6 June 1944: The left hand half of Sword Red beach was dominated by the large WN20, designated Cod by the British. B company of 2 E Yorks was to attack the position head on whilst C Company of the 1 South Lancs. was to land to the right and then swing left and take the WN in the flank. The infantry were to be supported by more than fifty tanks, DD Sherman's, AVRE, and Flails. As the leading LCA approached the beach E Yorks Maj LC King read his men lines from Shakespeare's Henry V "On, On you noble English whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof... Be copy now to men of grosser blood and teach them how to war." The heavy air and artillery bombardment had little impact on Cod, the attackers coming under heavy and sustained fire as they approached the shore. Fifteen or so of the DD Sherman's managed to swim ashore, arriving alongside the LCT carrying the tanks and the LCA carrying the lead assault companies. The infantry, their accompanying armour and the DD's all disembarked into a hail of fire, several tanks bogged down, others were knocked out and the E Yorks were pinned down on the beach but the S Lancs managed to cross over the sea wall and attacked Cod from the flank. By H+30 the beach was no longer under direct fire though indirect fire continued to fall.
Sword Beach was essential to allied planners as it would link the beachhead at Juno Beach with the left flank of the invasion created by the British 6th Airborne Division. Third British Division would land at Sword, its objectives were to breach the sea defences and secure a lodgement inland, preferably taking the City of Caen in order to help secure the left flank of the allied lodgement. Each of 3rd Division's nine infantry battalions would be supported by a tank squadron from 27th Armoured Brigade. 8th Infantry Brigade was to storm the beach and then subdue several strongpoints immediately inland. 185th Infantry Brigade was to advance quickly and take the City of Caen. 9th Infantry Brigade was to secure the Division's right flank and ensure a firm link with the Canadian 3rd Division in Juno.

BkiUaufxK6Ot9Pm3tEvR | BHP Billiton spin-off South32 will take another $US1.7 billion ($2.4bn) writedown, slash production, sack 620 workers and explore the potential for hundreds more job cuts around Australia in the strongest demonstration yet of the company's "value over volume" philosophy.
Shares in South32 soared more than 14 per cent after it confirmed it would scale back its South African manganese operations indefinitely in response to the global slump in manganese prices.
It said it was looking at "substantial" job cuts at operations including its Illawarra coalmines in NSW, its Worsley alumina operation in Western Australia and its manganese mines on Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory.
The Perth-based company said it would provide more detail on the job losses at its upcoming half-year results when it would spell out plans for a "meaningful" reduction in costs at several of its key Australian operations.
The 620 job cuts announced yesterday will all be incurred across South32's South African manganese operations, which have been under review for months in response to the weakness in manganese prices. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Sidra Medicine's Surgery Department crosses major milestones with a series of complex surgery successes
24 July, 2018 News
Following the successful opening of its inpatient facility in January of this year, Sidra Medicine is ready to accept and conduct highly complex surgeries in Qatar. A major milestone for the growth of the country's healthcare system, the world-class expertise now available at Sidra Medicine means that fewer patients will need to travel abroad to receive expert care for rare and complex conditions.
"This is a landmark moment for many young patients in Qatar and the region as more families in Qatar have entrusted the care of their children to the experienced team at Sidra Medicine, choosing to forego treatment abroad for the same level of care. The facilities, surgeons and multidisciplinary teams supporting them are on par with any of the world's top children's hospitals. Our facilities are able to treat patients right here at home, meaning less burden on the family and the country and a more comfortable, culturally-sensitive environment for the patients," said Dr. David Sigalet, Chair of the Department of Surgery at Sidra Medicine.
A recent complex neurosurgery at Sidra Medicine was performed on an 18-month-old patient named Mona who suffered from a brain tumor that impaired her vision and slowed down her responses. Dr. Khalid Al Kharazi, the Division Chief of Neurosurgery, lead the seven-hour surgery to remove the tumor.
As a result of the care provided by Sidra Medicine, Mona was discharged just three days after her surgery. "To see our little girl fully recover from the crippling side-effects of the tumor in just a matter of days is a testament to the excellent quality of the facility and the people at Sidra Medicine. We are incredibly grateful to them for the care and attention they provided every step of the way. We are also thankful to the Government of Qatar for the world-class services that are available for the benefit of the people in Qatar," said Mona's father.
Another parent, whose son recently had follow up neurosurgery with Dr. Al Kharazi at Sidra Medicine, said: "I am truly thankful to the country's leadership for opening such a medical facility here in the country – it has really impacted our decision to stay and seek my son's treatment here. I used to take my son to the UK for surgery but it makes all the difference knowing that Qatar has a specialized medical team who are equally knowledgeable and highly skilled. More importantly, they understand our culture and that I am close to my family. I was very happy with the care my son received at Sidra Medicine."
Commenting on the surgeries, Dr. Al Kharazi said: "These surgeries were the first of their kind being performed in Qatar as we used the cutting-edge equipment including neuro-navigation and the cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA). Such equipment is considered the best in the neurosurgery field. However, what truly makes our care stand out is our talented team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, pediatric nursing teams, radiologists and the support from our rehabilitation and pathology services. Nothing gives me more joy than seeing the smiles on the young children as they embark on their journey of recovery under our care. This would not be possible without our highly skilled and caring teams and the support of our leadership in ensuring that we have access to the very best technologies and services."
Dr. Al Kharazi was supported by a multidisciplinary team of children's specialists, including visiting Pediatric Neurosurgeon Dr. Noor ul Owase Jeelani from Great Ormond Street Hospital in the UK who was named one of the top British Surgeons in 2011 by The Times magazine. Dr. Noor remarked that, "I have had the pleasure of working with an extraordinarily talented team, having the latest technology and best talent by my side to help ensure the success of highly complex brain surgery. As the work flow builds up, we are undertaking more and more complex operations successfully here. I would not hesitate to recommend Sidra Medicine to some of the children that have travelled about previously UK from the region."
The Sidra Medicine surgeons have established a reputation for pioneering cases and are considered leaders in their fields across many surgical subspecialties. They have made landmark contributions to the way rare and complex diseases are treated around the world. Among them is Dr. Joao Pippi Salle, Sidra Medicine's Division Chief or Urology, who has recently published a paper in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association on a pioneering procedure to treat bladder extrophy — a congenital anomaly that most notably involves protrusion of the urinary bladder through a defect in the abdominal wall.
Dr. Pippi Salle is one of the world's few experts who specialize in treating this anomaly and the creator of the Pippi Salle procedure that corrects urinary incontinence in children. As a result, Sidra Medicine is now the referral center for the treatment of this anomaly recommended by the American Bladder Exstrophy Association with Dr. Pippi Salle performing the surgeries in Qatar. Working beside him are two colleagues from Sudan who will take their new skills to patients in their home country when they return at the completion of the program.
Sidra Medicine's Peter Morris added: "I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished in such a short time, always keeping the focus on the needs of women and children in Qatar. To that effect, we have also opened the Children's Emergency Department that adds capacity to the care of true emergencies in Qatar." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUa984uzki0oIf_chF | It doesn't get more magical and mysterious than Christmas as a kid. The thrill of waking up on Christmas Day to discover presents under the tree, bite marks in the mince pies, and an empty glass of milk. And meeting the big man himself is the top of the list when it comes to magical, Christmas experiences. Mr Lender, a UK based short term loan provider, has put together a list of ten of the best Santa's grottos in London.
Leicester Square will be the permanent residence of Santa Claus until Christmas Eve, meaning children still have ample time to meet the big man himself. Guests will meet Santa's helpers, before sitting on his knee and receiving a gift. The audience will then be treated to a special bespoke story, read by Father Christmas. The sessions last 25 minutes, with tickets being sold for £10.
Santa Land is a magical place for Children of all ages, with plenty of rides and places to grab some festive food, and of course – Santa's grotto. Guests can take a walk round Santa's Toy Factory fun house where Christmas gifts are being made. Visits to the grotto are free, but spaces are limited – so get there early to avoid disappointment!
After meeting Father Christmas and receiving a special gift, children can then venture outside and meet the animals at the zoo. Santa will be making an appearance on the 10th and 11th of December, then from the 16th right up until Christmas Eve. Tickets can be purchased in advance, or on the day.
Kung Fu Panda will be helping Santa at his grotto this year, where guests can get involved in interactive games, as well as a trip to the North Pole via the big screen. Personalised boarding passes and Christmas passport are all you need to step aboard Po's rocket powered cart, where you will be transported to Santa's study. The big man will know children by name as they enter – making the experience that little bit more special.
Christmas at Harrods is sure to be a magical experience. Trips to Santa's grotto are designed to suit children based on their age, with two separate experiences available for guests. Go on a journey through the Ice Kingdom to Santa's grotto, where you will learn about the Harrods Christmas Story on the way. Children can then meet Santa, before taking a special gift home with them.
Forget the traditional sleigh that we're all so accustomed to associating with the big man in red. Father Christmas will be welcoming guests aboard his magical double-decker caravan at Sutton House this year. Children can hear what it's really like to fly a reindeer, before receiving a special present. Visit the website for information regarding dates and ticket prices.
This Santa's grotto will be taking place over two venues, in the Victorian streets of the Museum of London, and the Museum of London Docklands. There will be Victorian carol singers and traditional Christmas decorations to get you in the Christmas spirit. Children can visit Santa in his grotto, where they will be given a special Christmas present. The grotto will be open until the 23rd of December. Ticket information can be found through their website.
Do things a little differently this year, and sail with Santa along the River Thames. Children will receive a soft drink and a cookie, and of course a special Christmas gift, while adults will also be able to join in the fun with a nice, warm, wintery glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. Visit the website for ticket information.
The Royal Albert Hall know how to do Christmas with a bang. Guests will join a Victorian doorkeeper on a journey through the Royal Albert Hall, learning all of its secrets along the way. You will all work together to solve puzzles and clues to help find the key to the grotto. Tickets must be purchased for children over two, while adults go free. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Gallagher on Bengals loss: 'I felt like I couldn't be a fan of this team anymore'
By Arielle Aronson | FoxSports
MONTREAL, QC - JANUARY 6: Brendan Gallagher #11 of the Montreal Canadiens takes a shot against the New Jersey Devils in the NHL game at the Bell Centre on January 6, 2016 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. (Photo by Francois Lacasse/NHLI via Getty Images)
One of the lessons gleaned from the EPIX "Road to the Winter Classic" series this year is that Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher is a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan. Nearly a week after the Bengals' devastating playoffs loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Gallagher was willing to discuss his feelings with NHL.com.
Cincinnati's loss Saturday was one that never should have happened, but instead of running down the clock with less than two minutes remaining and a 16-15 lead, Cincinnati's Jeremy Hill fumbled the ball to allow the Steelers to take over deep in Pittsburgh territory.
Given how far the Steelers would have to go to score, a Bengals win still seemed in the cards, but the Cincinnati defense could not stop the Steelers. They made matters worse for themselves by taking two needless 15-yard penalties to move the Steelers into field goal range. Pittsburgh's Chris Boswell's 35-yard field goal was good to put Pittsburgh up, 18-16, with 14 seconds remaining and ultimately lifted the Steelers to the win.
Gallagher shared the level of his devastation with NHL.com:
Despite the difficult weekend, Gallagher agreed to share his thoughts and predictions for the remaining playoffs games with NHL.com through the Super Bowl. You can find more on his reaction to the Bengals' loss and his picks for this weekend here. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

School of Creative Science and Engineering
In this study, we examined the problem of creating an operational schedule that considers the charging of multiple electric buses. We considered a model in which fixed-route buses with gasoline-powered engines are replaced with electric vehicles (EVs). This necessitates the charging of their batteries during operation. Therefore, we developed a method to minimize the total battery usage by considering the battery capacity and charging time. Based on experiments using actual data, guidelines were be developed to introduce EVs in existing bus networks. Our numerical experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

BkiUbN84ubnjor2J9Fs_ | WYG scooped the Judges Discretionary Award for their "overall excellent effort" during the 48 hour Build New York Live BIM Competition that took place online from 21st-23rd September. Team OneWYG, led by Johnathan Munkley, BIM Director, WYG, was taking part in the challenge organised by Asite as the latest event in the Build Earth Live Series.
At 6pm (BST) on 21st September, competitors were given just two days to design a virtual community outreach sports arena and a residential tower in the Hudson Yards area of Lower Manhattan, New York, using BIM level 2 tools and processes.
Over twenty individuals joined team OneWYG bringing specialised knowledge and expertise in a multitude of fields, including Structural Design, Architectural Design, Landscape Design, Building Services, Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Cost Management, and Geo-Environment. Their efforts were supported by Soluis Studios, FM180, Rapid 5D and students from Wellacre Academy in Manchester. They were based in six different locations across the UK and collaborated virtually using web based tools.
The final design submitted by team OneWYG revealed a 60-storey diamond shaped residential tower of luxury apartments offering stunning views over the Hudson River and Manhattan. Clad in reflective solar panels for energy efficiency, the tower also features a vertical sky garden running up the total height of its central partition. Putting zero carbon emission and sustainability at the core of its design, OneWYG created a sports arena surrounded by lush gardens extending over the rooftop of the building, transforming the latter into a walking area with a stunning vantage point. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Gary's guitar students in Stratford NS have been doing brilliant work this term. They're working on more open chords and are starting to sound really great.
Our beginners are working on major scales, while the more advanced students are focusing on barre chords and pentatonic scales. The class groups are having great fun covering lots of great songs like Yellow Submarine, Dancing in the Moonlight, Chasing Cars and Wonderwall!
Gary is also helping his students understand the advantage of knowing a piece off by heart. They have started an in-the-round performance section in their group, which gives each student a chance to perform and demonstrate what they have been practicing during the week.
Here at the Mobile Music School, we love to see students' self-esteem growing week-on-week. Their confidence in performing improves the more they practice in a calm, relaxed, group environment. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdS44ubng_t84ZM4m | While Billy Reid shrewdly mines his own down-home, folksy image for a sort of Southern luxury vibe (Reid hails from Alabama), he's also plugged into a streamlined international style. As it turns out, loose-fitted jackets and blazers made from wool hand-sheared by a "lady in Oregon" look great with street-influenced nylon parkas and snug beanies. For Fall, Billy Reid presented a grounded men's collection that mostly fits with what's happening in menswear at large.
Reid said the collection was all about texture, and that was plain to see. Or rather, not plain at all. In the Bowery Hotel (across the street from one of Reid's two Manhattan stores), knit after knobby knit appeared in a mostly flaxen palette, to the strums of the soulful mother-son guitar duo Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear. More experimentally, several hooded capes with armholes suggested the good ol' boy knows a lot more about highfalutin design than his Southern drawl lets on. (Reid said the capes started out as sweaters but morphed into their current state by accident, a common story not commonly acknowledged.) While some of the textures seemed a little out of step with what New Yorkers are looking for, like wide-leg thick corduroy pants, in all this was a solid outing that will draw clients old and new. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Hip-hop legend Mistah FAB troubled by violence in Oakland; "Where's the uproar?" "- CBS San Francisco
Laurice Carlson December 16, 2021
OAKLAND (CBS SF) – Rapper, entrepreneur, community organizer and hip hop legend Mistah FAB is doing what he can to change Oakland's tone on crime.
"I'm not afraid to shed tears over where I'm from and how I feel for my people, my city and my culture. It's real, "he said.
He spoke of a violent year in his hometown of Oakland. This week, police are investigating the city's 131st homicide – the highest number of murders in the past decade.
"Something that troubles me – and it's very confusing for me to understand, is the fact that – when law enforcement kills us, we are in a major uproar, as we should be, because they are ready to protect us, "he said. . "But why do we remain silent when members of our community kill members of our community, where is the outcry?" "
Mistah FAB full interview with Betty Yu
FAB makes noise in its own way.
He recently held a meeting with Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong and Lt. Aaron Smith to discuss solutions. The meeting was scheduled to last 20 minutes – it turned into a two-hour discussion.
In an Instagram post he wrote:
When asked what Oakland's story was, he replied, "understand how you live".
"When you say how you live, that's what you do – if you're homeless you'll get it from a trash can or you'll get it by asking someone or begging. If you are on the street and you are going through desperate times, eating or starving, you will rob or rob someone.
The 39-year-old rapper believes in creating opportunities for young people. He himself benefited from community basketball programs as a child, run by the current police chief.
"I think the biggest misconception is that the people who hurt these streets are bad people, they aren't. They are just trying to survive, "said FAB
Betty: How did you not become one of those people?
Mistah FAB: "I had a praying grandmother and a loving mother. My mother made the transition and took charge of her life, she dedicated her life so that I didn't have to make these choices and decisions.
But growing up in Section 8 housing, he says it wasn't an easy childhood.
"We do it for healings. Like I tell people I was that kid. I was that kid we left at home, man, because his parents were on drugs, "he added.
FAB has a long history of organizing toy drives and gifts in Oakland to help at-risk and less fortunate youth. He also runs the Dope Era clothing store in downtown Broadway. He is now working on his dream: to open the Dope Era Academy for young people. He says the areas of study will focus on business skills and hands-on courses like self-defense, coding, and crypto mining.
"I really care, like you know what I mean," he said with tears streaming down his face. "We've been running community events for almost two decades, without funding, all out of our pockets. "
He says it will take compassionate people who want to invest in the youth of the community to bring about lasting change.
"My children have to grow up in a community like this. My daughter is a teenager, my son. They are going to have to grow up in this situation and if someone doesn't make a change it will only get worse. If we don't create institutions that will create the next lawyers, judges, doctors and scientists, then the streets will connect the next killers, the next rapists, the next burglars, "FAB said.
Betty: "What do you want from the community? "
Mistah FAB: "People just need to start caring again, man. "
Its first community event in conjunction with the Oakland Police Department will take place at the Fox Theater on December 30. He will face off in a Battle of Verzuz with Oakland rapper Philthy Rich.
The FAB said the OPD had agreed to provide security at no cost and that the site fee would be covered by the city. Proceeds will go to nonprofits and sports and STEM programs for the children of Oakland.

How Drogba mentored Salah during difficult Chelsea spell
Brila 0 December 13, 2017 9:43 am
Ivory Coast and Chelsea Legend Didier Drogba has revealed that former teammate Mohamed Salah used to confide in him during his bad spells in front of goal.
Salah has been a huge hit at Liverpool since joining them in the summer and was recently voted the BBC African Footballer of the Year 2017.
The Egyptian played alongside Drogba at Chelsea but endured a difficult season until he was loaned to AS Roma and eventually sold to Liverpool.
Speaking about the player's growth, Drogba told BBCSport, "He's unpredictable he can dribble past you easily and he has got stronger and he can score goals.
"There was time when he was texting me: 'I don't score, I don't know why.' I said: 'It is just a matter of time and confidence.'
"When you have the confidence, everything can happen and you can see now that he is scoring goals.
"I saw how he improved through the years. He had to go to Italy to perform and then come back to England show that he is the player we always believed he was," Drogba said.

BkiUeyPxK7Tt522Wb7tI | This tasty recipe for vegetarian eggplant rolls with savory tomato sauce and fresh ricotta cheese comes from chef Sara Foster.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Stir olive oil and vinegar together in a small bowl and brush onto both sides of the eggplant slices; season both sides with salt and pepper.

BkiUdbc5qsBDH82z6iYM | According to the Dictionary, Wisdom is the ability to apply relevant knowledge in an insightful way, especially to different situations from that in which the knowledge was gained, or, the ability to make a decision based on the combination of knowledge, experience, and intuitive understanding. Wisdom can therefore be said to be the acquisition and intelligible application of knowledge acquired in order to generate results.
– Learned wisdom: This is the result of trial and error. It is the wisdom gotten through people who have given themselves to applying various sources of information to solve a problem and the processes were recorded to be taught to others. Mankind wasn't meant to function at the level of trial and error type of wisdom but if not for Adam's sin.
– Divine Wisdom: This is the main thing. Since God is the custodian of all wisdom, he has laid up in store for his children the wisdom enough to bring a glorious manifestation of their purpose. This wisdom is the ? that will elevate you from the place of discovering purpose to walking in the full manifestation of your purpose on earth.
King solomon (a historical king of Israel and the richest man who ever lived) once said, "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding".
What we're taught in our schools are mostly learned wisdom but we have in our supernatural lifestyle package the enablement to express divine wisdom like Adam was able to name all animals and classify them by divine wisdom. His mental faculties were supernaturally endowed by God for solutions at a superior level (If it's available to one, it's available to all).
Relevant Scriptures: Prov. 2:6-7; 4:7-9, Eccles. 10:10.

Fintech firm launches Vault OS, a blockchain-based banking operating system
Thursday, July 14, 2016 5:57 AM UTC
Former Google expert Paul Taylor, founder of Thought Machine has started working on the blockchain-based system named Vault OS which is the first 'next generation' operating system for banks.
According to the official release, Vault OS was built from the ground up by Thought Machine, a Fintech firm that has worked on this project in stealth for two years. Based in London, it was established by Paul Taylor and a core of ex-Google engineers and has a team of 50.
The system, created with private blockchain-style technology has cryptographic ledgers for watertight security. This runs in the cloud as a software-as-a-service that helps banks to scale from one customer to millions without expensive in-house data-centers. Apart from this, it handles millions of transactions per second, captured in real-time on a single unified ledger. The system also supports a complete array of bank services like current accounts, mortgages, loans among others.
"Most of the banks are using systems that were written in the 80s and 90s, and they just are not ready for the security-conscious internet app age at all. What the blockchain does is provide a very secure way of storing transactions," Taylor to Reuters.
Vault OS employs smart contracts and machine learning for banks. Features of Vault include huge flexibility and handling any standard banking functions or business models.
Vault OS benefits customers through its reliable banking services that accurately group all spending or income into 60 categories. The smart contracts enable genuinely bespoke financial services such as 'payment holidays' and the system provides customers with a comprehensive overview of all personal finances with insights including 'safe-to-spend'.
Vault OS is a core-banking toolkit that enables a bank of any age or size to deliver end-to-end financial systems that run smoothly in real-time. Its risk-reporting features automatically implement new compliance standards.

BkiUcpLxK1ThhBMLfxcw | Superfan builds working 'Akira' motorcycle, 'Akira' superfan builds iconic bike for charity, The iconic red bike from the classic anime film took more than seven years to build. Ever thought of taking a rip-roaring road trip to Neo-Tokyo on the back of a futuristic motorcycle? Inspired by post-apocalyptic anime smash Akira, Japan native Masashi Teshima has done just that, and in the process turned his fan-fueled dreams into a platform for a worthwhile cause or two.
Aboard a life-size replica of the iconic motorcycle ridden by Akira protagonist Shotaro Kaneda, Teshima set out from his hometown of Fukuoka, Japan and rode all the way to Tokyo, raising money for Bokura Company, an organization whose focus is to provide support for childhood autism.
But the giving doesn't stop there.
The motorcycle, which took Teshima over seven years and 10 million yen ($121,000 USD) to build, is currently on display at the Katsuhiro Otomo GENGA Exhibition, a celebration of original artwork by the acclaimed Akira creator. Proceeds go toward support for relief and rebuilding efforts stemming from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, which devastated large portions of Japan's east coast.
Running from April 9 to May 30, the exhibition gives fans a chance to don Kaneda's red biker gang racing jacket, take pictures, and even sit on the bike -- the only one to receive the official blessing of Otomo himself. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUa5TxK0zjCsHeYn3n | Year-to-date turnover above five-year average, but market experiencing reduced activity in the final quarter
As we enter the final two months of the year, there are clear signs of a slowing in activity as October saw just two deals transact totalling £252.95m, significantly below the five-year average for October of £715m. However, total investment volume for the City of London, as at the end of October 2022, stands at £7.68bn across 91 deals, a 25% year-on-year (YoY) increase and in line with the five-year average of £7.67bn. As it stands, there is £2.13bn under offer across 24 deals, with an average transaction size of £89m, although it is unclear how many of these will exchange prior to year-end.
In the largest deal of the month, German investor WIRTGEN INVEST Holding GmbH acquired 50 Finsbury Square in an off-market transaction from GPE. Located on the northern boundary of the City of London and Islington, the property occupies a prominent corner position within 400 metres of Liverpool Street station. Held freehold, the building comprises 129,164 sq ft of office and retail accommodation with the office accommodation pre-let to Inmarsat on a straight 15-year lease at an annual passing rent of £9m, reflecting £68.45 per sq ft. There are four retail units, of which three are under offer and the fourth is let to Blank Street Coffee. The price paid was £218.25m, 3.85% NIY and £1,690 per sq ft (£190m, 4.44% NIY and £1,471 per sq ft net of top-ups). The last six months have been characterised by rising inflation, upwards movement in interest rates and a more challenging debt financing environment as well as outwards pressure on prime yields, making this transaction stand out in the context of today's market conditions.
Continued high inflation continues to put pressure on the market as it rose to 10.1% in October 2022 but is not anticipated to rise significantly further following the Government's cap on energy bills
Will Wilson, Analyst, Commercial Research
As alluded to in previous versions of the City Investment Market Watch, the Government's 'mini-budget' on 23 September surprised both the real estate and financial markets as demonstrated by the 120 basis point spike in the 30-year gilt yield over just three days resulting in a pause of activity in the City market in October compared with previous years. However, with a new Prime Minister having been appointed and the majority of the 'mini-budget' policies reversed, there are signs of hope that the turbulence created by this event has subsided. We await the Chancellor's Autumn Statement on 17 November to provide further clarity as to the UK Government's future economic plan.
The result of political and economic instability on a macro level has penetrated through to rising interest rates, SONIA rates and cost inflation. UK interest rates have seen successive increases since the start of the year; at the time of writing, the Bank of England has increased interest rates by 0.75% to 3.00%, the largest increase in 30 years and representing an increase of 2.75% since December 2021. Furthermore, SONIA rates rose to a high of 5.2% in September, illustrating an increase of 4.7% since September 2021 although this fell back to c.4.30% at the end of October and even further to c.4% at the time of writing at the beginning of November. Finally, continued high inflation continues to put pressure on the market as it rose to 10.1% in October 2022 but is not anticipated to rise significantly further following the Government's cap on energy bills.
More anecdotally, a flurry of new opportunities were launched to market in October, in part driven by the redemption pressures on UK funds, but at much smaller lot sizes than usual. The largest opportunities brought to market in the City is c.£30m and is reflective of the challenging debt markets as most investors are looking to buy in cash. However, as always, with challenge comes opportunity and we have witnessed renewed confidence from overseas investors, particularly $USD pegged currencies, who view the market as providing opportunities in light of pricing movement and weakening currency.
Savills City prime yield sits at 4.25% which compares to the West End prime yield of 3.75%. The MSCI City average equivalent yield currently stands at 5.48%, and the MSCI net initial yield stands at 3.53%.

BkiUdpw4eIXhtAAvrbl5 | I already talked about it a couple of times (and those who follow me on Instagram already had a small preview), but here's some details. I'm going to open an Etsy shop, to sale homemade plushes and brooches (or more). I've been working real hard this month to get this going, but things are starting to come together! I think I can show you my first creations (the shop is not open yet, I just couldn't wait to show you my babies!).
I'm using wool for the bodies using needle felting (like the Totoros I made before), and I then add "hard" sculpted bits, which I paint with acrylics. I calculated that only the base, meaning the wool body without the face or the details, requires between 9 and 10 hours of work…It's a project very dear to my heart, I want to have the whole thing prepared when I open my shop: a dedicated website, cute custom packaging, beautiful photos… The best thing being that I know I can do everything myself! Monster Pie go! | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUc6k5qhDBSUjwha1u | If you are dipping candy in chocolates, then the only chocolate you should use is top quality chocolate. Consider using confectionery chocolate, made especially for coating candy. It melts smoothly and has excellent characteristics as well as wonderful flavor and texture.
Do not use baking chocolate from the super market or milk chocolate candy bars because you will not be able to get professional results with these products and the flavor will be poor. You will need an electric frying pan, ample space for the candy before and after dipping, and a cool room to work in. It is not a good idea to dip candy in chocolate if the room temperature is above 70� F.
Chocolate dipping is a cool-weather project or you need to set the thermostat on your air conditioner very low. One of the easiest ways to melt chocolate is in the oven. Break off about two and a half pounds (or more if you have more than two pounds of centers) of chocolate and break this into smaller pieces. Then put the chocolate in an oven-proof container and place in the oven with the temperature set at the lowest setting. Stir frequently until the chocolate has melted.
Do not allow the chocolate to get too hot or it will burn. You can also use a double boiler for melting chocolate, but do not use a microwave because you risk burning the chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted, transfer some into the cold frying pan. With your fingers together, cup your hand slightly and start moving the chocolate in an "S" motion until it feels cool. At this point the chocolate is ready to start dipping. Take a candy from the tray and drop it into the chocolate.
With your chocolate hand, flip it over to coat both sides then lift it out, tapping the back of your hand on the edge of the frying pan to remove the excess chocolate. Flip the coated center onto a waxed paper- lined tray. Keep moving the tempered chocolate in the "S" motion when you do not have a center in it. When you have used approximately � of the chocolate left in the pan, add more from the bowl.
Move this chocolate in the "S" motion as well, and keep dipping your candy until you are finished. If the chocolate starts to get too stiff, turn on the frying pan for two seconds, no more, and keep the chocolate moving at all times. While this may sound complicated at first, it will get easier and more natural with time. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUe5zxaKgQUJVNh4Rz | How to start listening to podcasts
Tune in to a brave new world.
Podcasts might just change your life.Pocket Casts
Your friends keep bringing up fun facts they learned from the latest episode of Radiolab, or discussing a crazy potential future described on Flash Forward. If you want to start listening to podcasts like these, but haven't dived in yet, then this guide is for you. We'll cover everything from the history of the audio format to the apps you can use to find and listen to the best podcasts for you.
A brief history of podcasts
Essentially, a podcast is a pre-recorded audio show of any description. Think of it like a radio show whose episodes you can download and listen to at your leisure. (A few podcasts are available only in video form, and you can sometimes find audio-only and video-only versions of the same podcast, but most are audio-focused.) Named after the iPod players that dominated the portable audio scene when podcasts first came to prominence, the term has stuck even as the influence of the iPod has waned. Today, these audio clips will play on phones, computers, and within your web browser.
Recorded sound is nothing new, of course, but in the early 2000s, people first started to experiment with episodic audio shows, pushing out new installments to their subscribers on a set schedule. This trend was related not only to the rise of the iPod, but also to the emergence of the MP3 format a few years earlier. MP3 was the first file type to compress high-quality audio into a size small enough to work with the era's limited internet speeds. Nowadays, we don't think anything of downloading huge 4K movies over the web, but at the start of the 2000s, internet connections were a lot slower. So the small file sizes of MP3s let you download podcasts in this format in minutes rather than hours.
Apple first added podcasting as an iTunes feature in 2005, and the rest is history: With a big name like Apple behind the fledgling podcast scene, more and more people began creating their own independent audio shows. The popularity of podcasting has risen and fallen and risen again since then—right now, the scene is more vibrant than ever. From standalone shows funded by Patreon to self-supporting podcast networks to recordings from major radio stations, the range of available podcast styles and topics has never been bigger.
How to find shows
You can listen to podcasts on every topic under the sun. And when it comes to popular categories like history, science, tech, and news, you've got dozens upon dozens, if not hundreds, of top-quality options. In fact, odds are that you'll find too many podcasts to choose from, rather than too few.
When you begin searching, start with your favorite radio show or news website. Although many podcasts function as standalone creations, others are produced by teams at existing media outlets. So visit your favorite radio show or website online, and search for their audio offerings—chances are that they produce one or more podcasts already.
Another option is simple word of mouth. Take Serial: Its first season—which examined the details of a single real-life murder case, with new evidence and revelations appearing each successive week—appeared in 2014. True-crime fans would chat about each week's episode in the workplace, and convert their friends, helping Serial reach more than 68 million downloads. So if you trust your friends' tastes, go ahead and ask about their podcast recommendations.
Google will also play a part in your search. As mentioned above, podcasts can come in the form of documentaries, comedy panel shows, in-depth interviews, historical research, fictional stories, and so on. Choose your favorite format and an area of interest, then search for those keywords plus "podcasts." This should turn up a wealth of options.
Perhaps the best way to find new ear-fillers is through the apps you use to listen to them. Once you've picked an app (see the next section), check out its search and discovery features. Many apps now trumpet their discovery tools as key features, allowing you to browse through popular shows in various categories and find the best that podcasting has to offer. And iTunes is no exception: When you've found podcasts you like on this platform, check out the "Listeners Also Subscribed To" box.
Finally, you can search through podcast directories. Plenty of options are available online, and one of our favorites is Audiosear.ch. However, most people find podcasts through their app of choice. For those, we'll introduce you to some of the best candidates in the section below.
From the Podcasts app that comes as part of iOS to specialist third-party tools like Overcast, you have plenty of podcast-listening options at your fingertips. Beyond apps, you can download episodes and listen to them on any audio player on your computer or phone. However, only dedicated podcast apps will have features like podcast discovery and the ability to automatically download new episodes. Here, we recommend a few leading podcast apps.
Overcast (free for iOS and online): The only downside of Overcast is its lack of availability on Android. It features a wealth of useful features, like smart speed for shortening silences, voice boost for improving the volume of dialog, and smart playlists for queueing up episodes from your library. It's free, but supported by ads, which you can remove with a one-time payment of $9.99.
Pocket Casts ($3.99 for Android, iOS, and an online web player): Why would you pay for a podcast player with so many free options out there? From an intuitive and comprehensive discovery section to smart features for cutting out intros and speeding up playback, Pocket Casts earns its keep. Plus, it uses a neat interface that you can easily customize. And if you install Pocket Casts on several devices, you can sync playback across all of them.
TuneIn Radio (free for Android, iOS, and online): This combination player lets you live stream more than 100,000 radio stations across the world, as well as offering podcast support. It's a great all-in-one solution if you want live radio alongside your podcasts. The app features a simple podcast discovery and subscription section, as well as a favorites page for keeping your most-loved stations and podcasts close to hand. You can use the app for free with ads, or pay a fee of $4.99 and up (depending on the length of your subscription) for a premium experience that removes ads and adds support for audiobooks and live sports programming.
Stitcher (free for Android, iOS, and online): This complete solution can go wherever you go, and it combines news, online radio, and podcasts into one coherent whole. Its discovery and organization tools are particularly well done—if you don't really know what you're looking for, Stitcher's categories and trending sections will help you find podcasts of interest. With a premium account (which costs $4.99 and up), you can remove the ads from the app and enjoy some original Stitcher shows too.
Castro ($3.99 for iOS): This app treats incoming podcasts like emails: They get lined up in your inbox, and from there you can decide whether to add them to a playlist or archive them for later listening. It works well if you want to browse a wide selection of podcasts without necessarily listening to every episode of each one. That said, you can add certain shows to your favorites list, so episodes will automatically end up on your playlist. The app also lets you search for individual podcasts or see the top-ranking shows in specific genres.
DoggCatcher ($2.99 for Android): For non-iPhone podcast listeners, this app offers just about everything you could want: A vast directory of categorized shows, automatic downloading and queueing, variable speed playback, a sleep timer, and more. It's fully invested in the Android ecosystem, so it also works with Android Auto in the car and the Chromecast hooked up to your big screen television set.
Beyond these dedicated options, podcasts are also available through most well-known music apps, including Spotify, Google Play Music, and Deezer. So go ahead and give podcasts a try. Chances are, they can fit quite neatly into whatever listening habits you already have.

BkiUblw5qWTD6essZthY | Comments on point 5, 160 hectares for building.
The Parlington Estate extends to some 770 hectares. In the March submission to LCC only 160 ha of the housing development. This land is located at the centre of the estate and is currently used as arable farmland.
The submission (as stated above) is to build on 160 hectares = 1.6 sq. km.
If 1,850 houses are built, Parlington will have 1,850/1.6 = 1,156 houses per sq. km.
If each house is occupied by 2 people, the population density associated with the building in Parlington will be 2,312 people per sq. km. and 3,700 people in total over the 160 hectares.
If each house is occupied by 3 people, the population density associated with the building in Parlington will be 3,468 people per sq.km. and 5,550 people in total over the 160 hectares.
According to Wikipedia, in 2009, the population of Swarcliffe and Stanks was 6,751 people.

BkiUd8A5qoTBG7-YOFh2 | MOUNT PLEASANT is a southeast Cleveland neighborhood and Statistical Planning Area (SPA) bounded roughly by Parkview, Imperial and Abell Aves. on the north; Farringdon, Svec and Glendale Aves. on the south; Martin Luther King Dr. and East Blvd. on the west; and E. 155th St. on the east. Kinsman Rd. is the main thoroughfare running through Mt. Pleasant.
The name Mt. Pleasant derived from its bucolic appearance and dramatic views. Even today, many of the homes—particularly in the neighborhood's northwest quadrant—are quite large and enjoy lengthy tree-festooned vistas. Mt. Pleasant's first residents were MANX farmers who migrated there in 1826. The area remained largely rural until 1921, when Joseph Krizek and his partners bought 20 acres southwest of Kinsman, where they mapped out streets and planted 248 maple trees along Bartlett St. Immigrant groups subsequent to the Manx included GERMANS, CZECHS, RUSSIANS, JEWS, and ITALIANS.
Unlike other areas of the city where AFRICAN AMERICANS occupied housing originally owned by whites, Mt. Pleasant counts blacks among its earliest citizens. Reportedly, in 1893 a contractor who employed a large number of black workers was unable to pay wages in cash, so he gave them title to lots in the section north of Kinsman Rd. between E. 126th and E. 130th Sts. The title holders soon built homes there and by 1907 Mt. Pleasant had 100 black families and 100 black lot owners. Advertised in African American newspapers as a suburban paradise, the section was noted for its high percentage of home-owning blacks. To prevent neighborhood deterioration, the Mt. Pleasant Community Council and block clubs in the 1950s fought delinquency, crime, and housing violations. With the aid of CLEVELAND: NOW! and the UNITED APPEAL, the community-services center was relocated, and eventually the Murtis H. Taylor Multiservice Ctr. was built at 13422 Kinsman to provide recreation and centralize social services for residents. Mt. Pleasant NOW Development Corporation, a non-profit community based entity was formed in 1988. Supported by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds and other sources, Mount Pleasant NOW has spearheaded several redevelopment opportunities, including the Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Family Service Center at 13815 Kinsman Rd., which houses Mount Pleasant NOW offices as well as staff from Cuyahoga Work & Training, Health & Nutrition, Children & Family Services, and the Cuyahoga Support Enforcement Agency.
Mt. Pleasant's population currently stands at around 17,000 (significantly lower than its 1940 high of 40,559). Virtually all its citizens are African American. Compared to Cleveland as a whole, Mt. Pleasant has an unusually high percentage of people in their teens and early 20s. Average household income lags the city as a whole. The neighborhood's somewhat more affluent areas tend to be those adjacent or somewhat proximate to the eastern border where Mt. Pleasant meets Shaker Heights.

Summary: Angel chose not to cut off his hand.
Summary: Lindsey is leaving and Angel comes to say goodbye.
Note: Most of the dialogue comes from the season 2 episode "Dead End" of Angel: the Series. This is just a small rewrite of the very last scene of that episode.
A collection of my drabbles for the characters Angel (or sometimes Angelus), Darla, and Lindsey from Angel: the series - in all pairing combinations and sometimes as OT3.
Lindsey has better plans for Angel.
What happens when Lindsey feels the need to be strong against his biggest threat?
Lindsey's so close that Angel can smell his soul. Or something like.

Senate Democrat Wants You to Boycott Burger King
What is this, Russia?
Reason Staff | 8.26.2014 7:00 PM
Burger King says it struck a deal to buy Tim Hortons Inc. for about $11 billion, a move that creates the world's third-largest fast-food company and could accelerate the international expansion of the Canadian coffee and doughnut chain. …
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is calling for a boycott of Burger King.
"Burger King's decision to abandon the United States means consumers should turn to Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers or White Castle sliders. Burger King has always said 'Have it Your Way'; well my way is to support two Ohio companies that haven't abandoned their country or customers," Brown said in a statement. "To help business grow in America, taxpayers have funded public infrastructure, workforce training, and incentives to encourage R&D and capital investment. Runaway corporations benefited from those policies but want U.S. companies to pay their share of the tab."

BkiUaWK6NNjgB0Sszap_ | Your brain has an Executive Function.
Executive function is the scientific term for our ability to organize activity, learn from past experiences, make plans, solve problems and work puzzles.
Among the areas in the brain involved in executive function are the medial frontal cortex and the lateral prefrontal cortex. Robert M.G. Reinhart PhD and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Boston University notes that those two areas control most of the executive function. He calls these areas "the alarm bell of the brain". Reinhart is the Director of the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience at Boston University and, among other area of brain research, has been studying ways to employ electrical stimulation to improve performance in learning and self-control.
Kimberly Luu, currently doing graduate studies at the University of Waterloo School of Public Health, and Peter A. Hall, PhD Clinical Psychology and Director of the Prevention Neuroscience Lab, also at Waterloo, assessed the effect of yoga and mindfulness on both mood and executive function. Their research indicated that sessions of yoga and mindfulness meditation resulted in more positive moods and in improved executive function.
The scientific research supporting the beneficial effect of exercise- in this case yoga-and meditation- on a healthy brain continues to mount.
If you haven't practiced meditation but are curious about it, we offer two excellent books on the topic. While completely appropriate for the beginner, there are plenty of topics of interest for the experienced practitioner. As always, before we recommend anything here, we try it ourselves. I refer to these books regularly myself. Oh, and we have some very cool puzzles.

BkiUbn3xK6mkyCfOAqmV | This version contains a fix for 79860. Since the issue was not resolved for all users, we've re-opened that ticket internally and will issue another fix on that same bug number.
Just updated my install (was running a much older version) and so far so good. I have a total of 8 Servers (combo of Physical and Virtual) that I am monitoring. No "Barber Poles".
I also have a total of 8 Networking Devices that I am monitoring - 2 Firewalls and 6 switches,I am still not getting any info on neither of my Zyxel / Zywall Firewalls (USG50 and Zywall 110) or my Cisco SG350XG-24F 10G Switch.
They show up but no information on them whatsoever.
I have upgraded, but still Dashboard shows blank, As I understand there is issue with Spiceworks Monitoring Services, as it stops @ every 10 seconds automatically, even I have tried to keep it on manual but no outcome.
Still having the same issue with .102 - service starts for about 10 seconds then stops. Windows 2008 R2 server.
Just upgraded and am having the same issues service starts for 10 seconds than stops. Will not retrieve any information from any device including the server it is install on Windows 2008 R2. Frustrating to upgrade and have everything stop.
So I grabbed the update yesterday, applied it and I'm still not getting any information displayed on the dashboard.
I took the down time for the monitor and started a new install on its newish server box. It works now, but it loads slow and the bottom half of the dashboard ie, the online and closer watch areas do not load.
I set up another instance of this latest update on another box. I was able to add one server.
We couldn't connect to the collector.
Check our help page for more information.
Copied this from the previous version as I posted this before this page was posted. This still applies to this version as I am on this version.
On version 1.5.00.102 as well as 1.5.00.101 I am unable to update the stored password for our firewall on Server Watchlist. We changed the password for our firewall and when I click on the server to update the password it takes me to the config page where nothing ever loads.
The firewall is running Endian Firewall Community 3.0.
Note, I just attempted to click on one of the Windows servers and I get the same blank page. I will be happy to send a log roll-up.
I have validated that all 6 Spiceworks services for Network Monitor are running.
Sit tight, everyone! Build 1.5.00104 is incoming and should hopefully fix most of your issues (knock on wood...).
On version 1.5.00.102 does not work with more than 7 servers. My system is 10 servers, 4 Windows and 6 Linux. 4 Windows and 3 Linux shows, and 3 Linux - no.
I thought something strange was going on with the alert e-mails that I am getting from Spiceworks, the first alert e-mail comes out with a time stamp of many, many hours in the past (like 6am when it is 9pm) then the rest of the alerts (like the clearing of the alert comes in at the proper time / time stamp. I thought this happened in the past but I wasn't sure. Now I can confirm that this has happened since updating to this version.
Tried the Migration Script to move the install from one system to another and it didn't even remotely work? I was able to create the migrate, I ran the script on the new system and it doesn't show a single one of the devices???
Any updates on when version 1.5.000104 is being released?
We've found another bug based on some user feedback and are preparing another build to test. Sorry for the holdup! | c4 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUeLjxK7IDPXIhnrLV | Cats Kill More Than One Million Australian Birds Per Day
Feral cats kill 316 million birds and pet cats kill 61 million birds in Australia every year. More than 99% of these casualties are native birds.
The estimates, published in Biological Conservation, are based on results from nearly 100 studies of cat density across the country, and another set of nearly 100 studies that assessed cat diet nationally.
Lead researcher Prof John Woinarski of Charles Darwin University said that while previous research has looked at the impact cats are having on Australia's mammals, this is the first nationwide assessment of the impact of cats on Australia's birds. "Everyone knows that cats kill birds, but this study shows that, at a national level, the amount of predation is staggering, and is likely to be driving the ongoing decline of many species," Woinarski said.
The study also found that the highest rates of cat predation on birds is on Australia's islands and in remote arid Australia, where the number of birds killed by cats each year can reach 330 birds per square kilometre.
In a second study, the research team also looked at which bird species are at most risk from cat predation. They found records of cats killing 338 native bird species – almost half of Australia's native bird species. This included 71 threatened bird species.
"We found that the birds most likely to be killed by cats are medium-sized birds, birds that nest and feed on the ground, and birds that occur on islands or in woodlands, grasslands and shrublands," Woinarski said. "For Australian birds, cats are a long-standing, broad-scale and deeply entrenched problem that needs to be tackled more effectively."
Australia's Acting Threatened Species Commissioner, Sebastian Lang, added: "Our knowledge of the impacts of cats on threatened mammals was a major stimulus for our first-ever national Threatened Species Strategy, which prioritised actions to control feral cats. This new research emphasises the need to continue working to reduce the impact of cats on our native biodiversity." | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdErxK0zjCxh73JkY | The Hotel Okura Macau is one of the three luxury 5-star hotels in the brand new destination resort Galaxy Macau™, which is situated in the Cotai district between the islands of Taipa and Coloane.

Hotel Okura Macau aims to offer its own Japanese hallmarks on the group of properties, which according to the General Manager, Mr Harmen Dubbelaar, will provide "the best of Japanese hospitality, delivering moments of kindness."
This Japanese spirit can be seen in the design of the lobby and other public areas, where state-or-the-art functional styling is complemented with lattice windows and other traditional Japanese touches and is conveyed through Okura's unobtrusive and attentive service.
Hotel Okura Macau offers 500 guest rooms, including 60 suites. These range in size from the 46m2 Deluxe Rooms to the larger 84m2 Junior Suites, with Superior Suites measuring up to 99 m2, as well as a sumptuous Imperial Suite and Royal Suite providing between 115-127m2 of luxurious living space.

Taste buds will also be well catered for with over 50 restaurants, bars and lounges across the resort. Culinary delights at the Hotel Okura Macau range from the outdoor, all day dining 'Terrace Restaurant' which blends western style dishes with Asian favourites in traditional Japanese Bento treasure boxes; whilst the 'Nagomi' Lobby Bar & Lounge blends Japanese culture with the serving of traditional 'Wagashi' confectionary with its afternoon tea.

In addition a wide array of Sake from across Japan will be available in the 'Sakazuki' Sake Bar and Okura's signature Japanese restaurant 'Yamazato' will give patrons the opportunity to savour the authentic taste of Japan with Kaiseki dishes, freshly prepared sushi, or grilled dishes, whilst looking out over a graceful Japanese garden.

Hesam Naseri & Mina Deris/
Odyssée 2019 2020
The Iranian artists Hesam Naseri and Mina Deris came together at the Dominicains de Haute-Alsace for concert performances and to work on the video for their album, released in late 2020. Both artists also attended at the 46th Rencontres d'été 2019 at the Chartreuse de Villeneuve lez Avignon (National Playwriting Centre), another member site of the ACCR network.
Mina Deris was born in southern Iran. Her talent was obvious from an early age, and at the age of 15, charmed by the rhythms of Arabic music, she decided to become a singer and study the classical music of Iran. Having graduated from the Tehran Conservatory of Music, she began her career touring internationally with ensembles such as Hesam Naseri's Ensemble Novak.
Hesam Naseri fuses electronic music with the traditional music of his native Iran. His knowledge of traditional instruments and rhythms allows him to explore rewritings rich in oriental and Persian influences. With Mina Deris, he champions a culture which respects traditions and is open to the world. His most recent album, recorded at the Dominicains, is in its final stages of preparation and the Audio Visual Centre enables the artists to record the video materials which accompany it.
In March and May 2020, the two artists take up residencies at the Dominicains. Under the artistic direction of Philippe Dolfus, they will collaborate with the Russian sound designer Vladislas Isaev, also in residence there, to work on the following projects:
- Production of a CD with Vladislav Isaev, Ali Razavi and Philippe Dolfus, and at least one video.
- A concert at the CCR Chateau Mercier on 24 May 2020.
- Production of a duo event in the vaults at the Dominicains during the 2020-2021 season.

NASCAR is clearly in a difficult place. The powers that be have to understand the intermediary tracks are a problem, but a lot of money has been place into them. Toss in a nasty recession and the idea of switching tracks is probably laughable to the individuals running the sport. Nicely, dull racing leads to little crowds and dropping tv rankings. Quicker or later on, that is going to end up costing NASCAR a lot more than tweaking the tracks and schedule will. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Katie Doherty's songs are food for the soul. The award-winning songwriter has toured with Kathryn Tickell, supported Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Karine Polwart, Ray Davies and Nitin Sawhney, and composed music for theatre shows for companies like the RSC and Northern Stage.
Her latest project, Katie Doherty and The Navigators, is a collaboration with two fellow North-East-based musicians:
Fiddler Shona Mooney is a former winner of BBC Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year and founder member of folk supergroup The Shee. Her playing soars across any melody and enchants all in her path.
On melodeon is the smiliest man in Folk, Dave Gray. Tutored by the master of melodeon, Andy Cutting, Dave lends his infectious energy and joy to any music he touches.

BkiUdq04uzqh_QQD9Rpo | FTSE 250 health and beauty products firm PZ Cussons (LON:PZC) has warned that market conditions in Nigeria will put pressure on results since consumer disposable incomes in the country remain restricted ahead of February's general election, the naira has lost ground against the dollar, and transport costs have increased. Management said that the Nigerian product portfolio would be actively managed to mitigate short term volatility.
Performance in Asia and Europe has been more promising as a result of new products and expanded distribution. Management said that overall results for the year will be dependent on how Nigerian markets develop during the second half of the year.

CSRT is an annual, special focus course that provides security practitioners from the Asia-Pacific region and around the world the operational and strategic-level skills necessary to enhance their ability to combat terrorism while cooperating with other regional partners. Through faculty lectures and guest speaker presentations in plenary sessions, real-world case studies, seminar discussions and collaborative experience and perspective sharing, Fellows explore the nature of current and future terrorist threats, examine the challenges associated with countering ideological support for terrorism and violent extremism, achieve a more common understanding of global and regional terrorism challenges, analyze tools and capabilities for combating terrorism and transnational threats in order to promote appropriate strategies. It is also designed to build relationships between and among the United States and current and future counterterrorism practitioners of participating countries, for the purpose to develop the trust and confidence necessary for increased information sharing while identifying ways to reduce obstacles to cooperation in the international struggle against those who use terror to promote their goals.
This CSRT course was divided into three modules and held between plenary and smaller, seminar sessions. The first, The Problems, The Causes, The Agents, provided a framework with which to view contemporary terrorism and violent extremism through the exploration of historical examples, including the origins, motivations, environmental influences and other contributing factors that fuel terrorism. The second part, Toward a Comprehensive Response to Terrorism, explored various approaches to counter, deter and mitigate terrorism, including building whole of government cooperation, regional and international collaboration capacity, development of intelligence and information sharing technologies, and related legal complexities. The final part, An Exercise in Strategy-Building, the Fellows grouped by sub-regions to develop counterterror strategies against evident threats in their regions. This enabled them to work with other Fellows from their regions, in some cases breaching national rivalries, to first better understand the biases that drive decision making in their cultures and later to examine future trends in their regions and the priorities along with the elements needed for a viable counterterrorism plan to collectively mitigate emerging terrorist activities and threats.
The Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies is a Department of Defense academic institute that addresses regional and global security issues. Military and civilian representatives, most from the U.S. and Asia-Pacific nations, participate in a comprehensive program of executive education, professional exchanges and outreach events, both in Hawaii and throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The Center supports the U.S. Pacific Command by developing and sustaining relationships among security practitioners and national security establishments throughout the region. APCSS' mission is to build capacities and communities of interest by educating, connecting, and empowering security practitioners to advance Asia-Pacific security. It is one of the Department of Defense's five regional security studies centers. Since opening in 1995, the Center has had representatives from 135 countries and territories attend courses at the Center for a total of 11,252 alumni.

BkiUd085qYVBYPffxuuL | Abortion scandal
The chief Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Keir Starmer QC, has confirmed a decision that the state will not prosecute two doctors who carried out an abortion on the grounds of gender.
In a four-page letter, sent by the DPP on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), to the Rt Hon. Dominic Grieve QC MP, Attorney General, he defended an earlier decision not to bring charges against the two practitioners, following an investigation into claims they aided gender-based abortion.
His comment that there was not enough evidence seemingly contradicted the initial CPS statement, which suggested prosecution would not be in the public interest.
His decision, while referring to clarifications by the Department of Health and the British Medical Association that state gender-based abortions are not permissible, did not advocate prosecution of two unnamed doctors.
The two doctors had been the subject of an undercover sting earlier this year by a Daily Telegraph reporter and her friend, who pretended that she had been told by French doctors that she was having a girl, but wanted a boy.
In both cases, the doctors found reasons to recommend an abortion, although they stated that foetal gender was not a permissible reason.
In reaction, 50 MPs have written a joint letter to the Attorney General supporting calls for an urgent review of the decision by the CPS.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said, 'This response from the DPP shows that the Abortion Act isn't worth the paper it's written on. It allows doctors to do whatever they like, "in good faith".
'It appears there is now no limit on what constitutes a mental health risk to the mother. What if a woman wants a termination because she doesn't like the skin or eye colour of her child? Where do we draw the line?'
'Mr Starmer's failure to call the CPS to account takes things to a new low. His refusal to right this wrong means that doctors who agree to arrange illegal sex-selective abortions get off scot free'.

A series of revised bus routes have been published following a change in contracts covering the north of Carmarthenshire.
Carmarthenshire County Council has completed a tender process following notice from Morris Travel that it intended to hand back the routes it operates around the Llanarthne, Crugybar, Carmel, Llandeilo and Llandovery areas as of January 19.
As a result, the council has confirmed that it has been able to partially replace services in the Llandeilo, Llandovery and Lampeter areas which were under threat.
A new tender has been agreed with Morris Travel for services based around Llandeilo, which will see little change to services 276, 283 and 284 but with services 278 and 279 no longer operating on Mondays, and service 277 no longer operating on Saturdays.
However, services between Llandovery and Lampeter will be affected long-term with no response to the tender for these routes.
Whilst there will be no direct services between Llandovery and Lampeter, the existing Bwcabus service has agreed to extend its area to provide all settlements with a bus service of some sort, albeit on reduced days for some.
The changes come in to effect on January 21, 2019. Timetables will be published on the council's website and Traveline Cymru and distributed on the buses and via the council's mobile library service in the coming weeks.
Cllr Hazel Evans, Executive Board Member for Environment, said: "Whilst unfortunately some areas will have a reduced bus service, we have worked hard to rearrange routes so that no settlements are left without access to services at all. We are fortunate to have the Bwcabus service available to help out in those areas most heavily affected by the reductions, and for some users the presence of the Bwcabus will potentially improve and enhance their access to public transport.
"The public transport network in these areas continue to be very heavily subsidised by the County Council and we urge residents of those communities which do not have access to other buses to continue to support these services to ensure their further continuation."
The services will be reviewed over the next 12 months to monitor usage in more detail.
Anyone wishing to make suggestion which could help to improve the services should contact the council's Passenger Transport team on 01267 228326.
Revised services, effective January 21, 2019, are:
Service 276, Llandeilo – Llandybie – Maesybont – Carmarthen: The service will continue to operate on Tuesdays but the buses will no longer run via Whitemill.
Service 277, Gelli Aur – Llandeilo – Llanfynydd – Carmarthen: The service will continue to operate on Wednesdays but the buses will no longer run via Whitemill. There will no longer be a Saturday service.
Service 278, Llandeilo – Carmel – Maesybont – Carmarthen: The service will continue to operate on Thursdays but the buses will no longer run via Whitemill. There will no longer be a Monday service.
Service 279, Carmarthen – Botanic Garden – Llanarthhey – Gelli Aur – Llandeilo: The service will continue to operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but the buses will no longer run via Whitemill. There will no longer be a Monday service.
Service 283, Llandeilo – Crugybar – Brechfa – Carmarthen: The service will continue to operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Service 284, Llandeilo – Crugybar – Pentregwenlais – Ammanford: The service will continue to operate on Fridays.
Services 288 and 289 between Llandovery and Lampeter will no longer operate in their present format, and will be partially replaced by the following services:
Service 289 will run on Mondays only from Llandeilo to Llandovery via Salem, Cwmdu, Talley, Crugybar and Llanwrda. Passengers will be able to change at Crugybar onto Bwcabus service 689 for Lampeter. The inward journey will be diverted to arrive at Llandovery via New Road and Stone Street at the request of existing passengers.
Service 687 will be a new service on Fridays only, starting from Rhydcymerau and running through Llanybydder into Lampeter. Service 687 will be part of the Bwcabus network but passengers will not need to pre-book to travel and will be able to turn up and catch the bus as they would any other bus service.
Service 689 will be a new service on Mondays and Thursdays only, running between Lampeter and Crugybar, Caio, Dolaucothi, Pumsaint, Ffarmers and Cwmann. On Mondays, passengers will be able to change at Crugybar into service 289 for Llandovery. Service 689 will also be part of the Bwcabus network but passengers will not need to pre-book to travel and will be able to turn up and catch the bus as they would any other bus service.
In addition to these services, the areas of Llanybydder, Rhydcymeau, Crugybar, Dolaucothi, Pumsaint, Ffarmers and Cwmann previously served by routes 288 and 289 will now be in the Bwcabus area. This means that, subject to availability, passengers will be able to book a bus on days and at times which were not available previously. This will improve options for journeys not just within the local areas but with connections to other services, particularly the TrawsCymru T1 service to Carmarthen and to Aberystwyth. Further details on the Bwcabus service are available from the Bwcabus call centre on 01239 801 604 or on the website at bwcabus.info

BkiUdrM4eIOjRl2TsxHX | Japanese finance minister murdered, new Chinese leader missing, climax approaching
Posted by benjamin
Tadahiro Matsushita, Japan's Finance Minister, was murdered Monday in an attempt by the cabal to extort more money out of Japan. In addition, upcoming Chinese leader Xi Jinping has vanished from public view after shunning a meeting with Hillary Clinton and refusing to finance her cabal last week. Furthermore, Neil Keenan and his family have all been recently hit by a nasty virus that we hear was spread by Italian agents working for former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Also last week NATO went on full military alert and was planning to attack Syria and provoke war with China and Russia before it was stopped by a UK RAF whistleblower who alerted colleagues at the Pentagon, according to both MI5 and CIA sources. All of these incidents are part of the final death throes of the Satanic cabal that was attempting to install a fascist world government after starting World War 3.
Multiple death threats have also been directed at this writer along with a raid on my house by Japanese tax police. The time for talk is over and direct action to deal with these mass murdering scum has begun.
The biggest immediate threat now is cabal plans to set off nuclear terror attacks in Europe in an attempt to provoke Muslim/Christian warfare, according to MI5 sources. Message to the P2 lodge: Satan has already left this universe and you are now just a bunch of scared old men about to go to jail.
Remember, if these people are not arrested, if you personally see any of them, you are legally entitled to kill them on the spot because they are trying to murder you and your family and that has been proven beyond a doubt.
Here is the latest from MI5 and other sources on the cabal's plans for mass murder in Europe.
Their long term goal and the reason they justify their mass murder is that they plan to "merge all religion after a prolonged period of tribulation and war," according to MI5 and other sources.
The starting point for this will be the Middle East, Peter Hans Kolvenbach's base of operations. Kolvenbach was recently spotted in Tripoli with Giorgio Balestrieri, a Senior P2 Lodge member and one of the mid-level planners of the 911 terror attack on New York, MI5 says.
The planning for this has all been very long term. During World War 2 the Nazis recruited and trained 750,000 agents for the Muslim Brotherhood to help implement this plan.
These agents were then sent to Saudi Arabia and other places as teachers to raise a second generation of Muslim extremist agents. Bin Laden, who reported to George Bush Senior, was a second generation member of this group.
Another senior agent is Frank Wisner II who was sent by Obama to take control of the contrived "revolution" in Egypt. Wisner's father was a Nazi CIA who was involved in the Hungarian uprising and other operations. Egypt's new Nazi puppet leader has been following the script he was given by trying to fan the flames of religious extremism most recently, for example, by berating Syria's secular government.
In Europe we can see the P2 plot in public now. The key players are the Satanic part of the Vatican, the EU and Goldman Sachs. The leaders imposed last winter on the people of Greece and Italy, Lucas Papademos and Mario Monti, as well as Mario Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank, all worked for Goldman Sachs, which is a Rockefeller front company. Monti and Draghi together with the unelected President of the EU Herman von Rumpoy are all Jesuits. Pope Benedict (maledict) XVI revealed his involvement in an encyclical calling for a 'new global economic order'.
The P2 and their fake Muslim terrorist allies were responsible for the 7/7 subway terror attack in London. They were also behind the Anders Breivik mass murder in Norway, according to MI5.
The French Freemasons are gearing up now to play their role. A likely target for a mass terror attack designed to provoke the planned Muslim-Christian civil war is Marseille with its large Muslim immigrant population, the MI5 source says. Furthermore, Serbian extremists have been handed nuclear weapons so that they can play their part in fomenting religious strife through mass murder.
After causing all this turmoil, of course the people who caused it are planning to present their solution which is a one world religion controlled by the Satanic P2 lodge.
In Asia meanwhile, the situation is not going at all according to cabal plans. However, we have received warnings and threats of a planned series of strategic assassinations aimed to trying to keep control over the financial system here.
Last week this writer phoned the Ministry of Finance to ask if Japan's foreign assets had declined after the 311 attacks. The Ministry of Finance replied through their public relations office that in fact they had increased slightly to just under 600 trillion yen ($7.7 trillion). They said they no longer denominate their foreign exchange reserves in dollars. This may be one of the reasons the Finance Minister was murdered last night.
Here is a link showing some of the key fascist players sent to us by White Dragon Society members inside the NSA:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YPUldouCzY&feature=youtu.be
We know who and where they are.

One of the significant sources of funds for the Cabal is the healthcare industry which registered a whopping $2.7 trillion in 2011, and is projected to soar to $3.6 trillion in 2016, in the US alone. We believe that this is just a conservative figure.
You can join the fight against the Dark Cabal and accelerate its demise just by boycotting Big Pharma. You can effectively do this by downloading "Towards Healthcare Emancipation", a fully illustrated do-it-yourself instructional eBook that will help you in implementing all eClinik methods that would negate the use of expensive medicine, avoid radioactive diagnostics and treatments in completely defeating cancer, AIDS and all other parasitic diseases. These methods, when faithfully followed, work 100% all the time. Find out more about this here.
You can actually participate in crippling the Deep State organized criminal cabal, while enjoying healthcare freedom at the same time, by boycotting Big Pharma for good. | commoncrawl | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

The Georgia High School Association football state playoffs have reached the championship round with one local team still in title contention.
Following a 56-20 road win against Fellowship Christian in the semifinals Dec. 6, Wesleyan is in the Class A Private championship game for the first time since 2010 and seeking its first state crown since 2008.
The Wolves jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a two-yard quarterback sneak by J.C. French. He finished the night with three TDs on the ground. The drive was set up by Cooper Blauser's interception of Fellowship quarterback Eli Hildebrandt's pass on the first offensive play of the contest.
Wesleyan extended its lead to 14-0 later in the quarter when Griffin Caldwell took a handoff two yards for a touchdown. He had a team-high 124 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in the victory.
Fellowship was able to cut the deficit to 14-7 late in the first quarter when Josh Cole found the end zone on a six-yard run. The Wolves responded on their next possession with Caldwell's two-yard TD run to make the score 21-7. French's second TD run of the night gave the Wolves a 28-7 lead heading into halftime.
French's three touchdown passes in the second half pushed Wesleyan's offense through the final two quarters. He finished the game with 272 passing yards. Blauser had two touchdown catches and 86 receiving yards, while teammate Micah Smith had a team-high 162 yards receiving in the win. Andrew Van Wie caught a 24-yard TD pass from French in the second half as well.
Defensively, Vance Nicklaus posted a team-high 13 tackles while Jackson Turner, Josh Aspinwall and Tanner Bivins each had nine tackles for the Wolves.
"We dominated the game from start to finish with smothering defense and a high-powered offense," Wesleyan coach Franklin Pridgen said. "We have earned our way to the finals, and I am so proud of the way our kids have responded to every challenge so far."
Next up for Wesleyan, the ninth overall seed, is a game against fellow Region 5A program and four-time defending state champion Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (ELCA). Results were not available at the Neighbor's print deadline.
The Chargers, the sixth overall seed, reached the final with a 21-7 win over Holy Innocents' in the semis Dec. 6. ELCA won the regular-season contest against the Wolves 54-17 Oct. 4.
"We need to play our best game of the season so far to win, but that is what we plan to do," Pridgen said.
Holy Innocents' was the second overall seed in the playoffs and concluded its season with a program-record 12 victories and the Region 5A title.
Blessed Trinity is also in the state finals and seeking its third consecutive Class 4A championship. The Titans reached the title game with a 46-21 win over Woodward in the semis Dec. 6.
Blessed Trinity got on the board on Aaron Werkheiser's 27-yard field goal late in the first quarter. Elijah Green's 47-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter increased the Titans lead to 10-0. Green finished the night with a team-high 180 rushing yards and three touchdowns. James Bryant's 77-yard touchdown catch from Duncan Reavis gave Blessed Trinity a 23-7 lead into halftime.
Green's 15-yard and 10-yard TD runs along with Justice Haynes' 16-yard touchdown on the ground were the Titans' scores in the second half to take control of the contest. Haynes posted 148 rushing yards and a touchdown in the victory.
Michael Mitchler had a team-high seven tackles, while teammates David Coltrane, Ryan Dupont and Grayson Gilder each had five stops for Blessed Trinity's defense. Mitchler and Gilder also each had two sacks and Bryant intercepted two passes.
The Titans, who are the top seed from Region 7AAAA, will face Oconee County in the championship game. The Warriors are the top seed from Region 8AAAA and defeated Sandy Creek 35-28 in the semifinals Dec. 6.
The All-Region 4AAAA was announced with several Woodward players selected. War Eagles quarterback Mike Wright was the Player of the Year, linebacker Aaron Washington earned the Defensive Player of the Year honor and tight end/linebacker Jacorrei Turner was selected as an Ironman of the Year. Woodward head coach John Hunt was the region's Coach of the Year.
War Eagles had four players on the first-team offense in running back Damari Alston, wide receiver Ambe Caldwell, lineman Cab Bennett and placekicker James Mayfield. The first-team defense included two War Eagles backs in Allen Wright and Hunter Sellers, linebacker Errington Truesdell and lineman Ozzie Hoffler. The second-team defense featured lineman Adam Thrasher, back Khari Gee and punter Davis Golick.
North Atlanta also saw several of its athletes named to the All-Region 7AAAAAA team. Warriors running back T.K. Mack was selected as the region's Player of the Year. The first-team offense included quarterback Wiley Hartley and lineman Dylan Cook. Warriors linemen Davis Bell and Wesley Horton as well as linebacker Sterling Fleury were on the first-team defense. The second-team offense featured lineman Kolton Lambert, while backs Malcolm Woods and Jamie Hare along with utility player Tre Mason were on the second-team defense.

Emma F(701)
I work for a charity based in Norh Staffordshire that works to improve the mental health services that people in the area receive. At the moment we are keen to find out what people who have used the Parent & Baby Unit at Bucknall Hospital think of it. It also looks certain that the Unit will be moving to a new location, and we want to find out what people would need at a new place. So, for example, would it be better if it were in Hanley because of transport, or would Hanley itself be just to busy? Please let me know what you think so that we can have a good service for the mums of the future! Thanks, Emma

BkiUd4U241xg-KyhkrTx | Hey X-Maniacs, JT here with my final review of the week, Uncanny X-Men! We left off with The Avengers raining down on the Cyclops and his X-Men, now let's see how the new students and my favorite X-Team deal with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Summary: This issue starts things off with a flashback to Eva as a child, giving a report on her favorite hero, Captain America. So you can imagine her surprise when he and the Avengers rain down outside of her home as Eva, her mother and the rest of the Uncanny X-Men watch on. The Avengers tell Emma and Scott to come with them, but of course that's not happening. The two teams debate about who's to blame, with Emma saying Iron Man is the one that split the Phoenix Force and it took them, something they didn't want, then they did good with the powers like trying to end world hunger and wars, but the Avengers are quick to say that Cyclops killed Xavier and the Phoenix Five basically enslaved the Earth. Ms. Marvel recounts how the X-Men took her in and helped her when she was down on her lucky, and Cyclops asks Carol to join them, and surprisingly she doesn't say no, but she doesn't say yes either. The students stick up for the X-Men, saying how they were beiong persecuted and Scott and the team saved them, but The Avengers don't want to listen, they want Cyclops behind bars for killing Xavier. Eventually the two groups decide talking won't work, so the Avengers attack, but Eva manages to freeze them all in one of her chronal blasts. The heads back to their base and Cyclops quickly deduces that they were betrayed, which leads to Magneto saying it was him. Before Cyclops can get angry enough to attack, he gives Erik a chance to explain himself, and he reveals he's basically been a double agent, much like I would say when I was a kid playing secret agent. He says he's playing their stooge so he can keep up with what their doing, so that he and the X-Men know what to expect. Scott still doesn't seem to fully trust Erik now, and says he wishes Emma could still read minds. The issue comes to a close with Cyclops and the team realizing the Avengers were still stuck in time, so they decide to pay a visit to the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.
Thoughts: I really enjoyed this issue. I liked the bit with Eva at the beginning, as we got a bit more development for her, plus seeing her stand across from her hero seemed like a bigger moment because of it. I also really loved the big argument between the Avengers and the X-Men, both teams made excellent points, and while I side with Scott and Emma, I couldn't help but notice how many good points Captain America, Iron Man and Hawkeye made. This is one of those comics with hardly any action but such great dialogue that I'd highly recommend it. Plus with Scott and his team going to the Jean Grey school in the next issue, only awesome things can come from this.
Score: 8/10
Magneto: You keep referring to yourself as our leader but I don't remember voting.

Totally agree. I thought the debate was spectacularly well done. Also? I LOLed at Illyana suggeting that the basically TP Avengers Tower and Scott responding, "Tempting." Great stuff. This series is top 5 for me, I think.
Jason Todd March 23, 2013 at 10:43 PM
Right?! The debate was great because both sides did make great points, especially the ones you highlighted in your review (Yep, I read it :P). I was kinda surprised at Illyana being so childish, but Scott's answer saved it for me. This is definitely one of my top ongoing series at the moment.

BkiUc23xaKgTwZRrIoNz | The Unfolding Narrative of THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE
by Jasmin April 29, 2011
written by Jasmin
THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE is on its way to becoming a feature-length cinematic documentary (and, according to the website, a "resourceful, unfolding, narrative web experience") that will cover the horrors of animal exploitation. Filmmaker Liz Marshall is no stranger to using the moving image as a tool to create social change. Her previous film, Water on the Table, documented the quest to have water declared a human right. Now, she is focusing her creative advocacy on the rights — or lack thereof — of non-human animals. Among the subjects of the film, which is currently in production, is photographer and activist Jo-Anne McArthur, whose breathtaking work was recently featured in a moving, awe-inspiring interview here in Our Hen House. I can only imagine the magic, joy, tears, and awareness that will emanate from these two ambassador women joining forces in THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE.

When I asked Liz what prompted her to use film to tell these animals' stories, her response was, not surprisingly, passionate and driven. "Over the years, I have made a number of human-centric films focused on significant global issues. It is quite a different approach to give voice to the non-human world. My last film is about the right to water, and now I turn my gaze and commitment to the plight of animals used for human profit: the billions of ghosts used in the machine of our modern world. Most people don't know about them, and if given a choice would turn away."
The people who turn away are the very ones Liz intends to reach with her film. I'm sure we can all relate to the frustration of having friends and family members refuse to give the time of day to hearing the truth about the plight of animals. I have a friend who recently told me that in lieu of getting a birthday present, she asked her mother to watch a video about factory farming, to which her meat-eating mom replied, "Why do you want to put me through this?" Lucky for us, The Ghosts in Our Machine will be a way in to the non-choir, the very ones who we need to reach the most. Liz said, "I want to reach those people, inspire them to lean forward. My life partner, Lorena Elke, a long time vegan, animal rescuer and activist, provided the impetus years ago to focus on the plight of animals. And Jo-Anne McArthur's powerful series of documentary photographs are a cinematic reference. THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE has been incubating for several years, but it wasn't until last fall that I decided it was time to pour myself into the process. I live my films, and so I am currently saturated in my animal rights literature. I am watching films and really observing and absorbing as much content as I can. It is quite overwhelming."

Utilizing the beauty of multimedia and various online platforms, THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE is so much more than just a film. "THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE intimately focuses on individual animals; [it] is an animal-centric experience. I want the animals to fill the screen," Liz said, "take up space. The project is a cross-media endeavor, which means it exists across various platforms. The narrative will unfold over time in stages. It's a film, a documentary website, a Vimeo channel, an active community-building Facebook page, etc. etc. Its sole purpose is to be part of the movement to expand consciousness to help end the suffering of so many animals."
As for the film itself, I spoke with Liz about where she is in the process of making THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE, and what her goals are for the final product. "We are in the beginning stages of development," she said. "April has been our initial online launch. The trailer is out there and circulating; we are growing our Facebook community; Twitter is tweeting; and our flash based prototype website is a tease of what the greater vision for the project can be." Most importantly, Liz is actively working to engage a following so that once the film is launched, there will be an audience in place, both for personal viewing and for spreading the word about this vital project. "We are building an audience, which is really a community. I keep a feedback folder and so far it has been incredibly refreshing."
This is a film still from the trailer shoot of photographer Jo-Anne McArthur. A slaughter and rendering factory sets the stage in the background.
Are you as exuberant about this project as I am? Well, keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to support the efforts of THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE. You can spread the word very easily by alerting your animal-loving and activist friends to this project. Liz continued, "In mid-May, we will launch an official online crowd financing campaign to raise the funds required to get the project to the next level. Our goals are long-term, meaning its life doesn't come to an end in 2 years like many traditional documentaries. Instead, the narrative continues to expand and grow. Ideally, the film will be released within 2 years and then we will take it on the road, get it into schools, and make sure it is seen. All the while, the website stories will continue to grow, and the resource will expand."

BkiUcCrxK6-gD0SrcLeZ | Residents of Rochester Hills are hard working people, but hard working people need some down time to relax and play, and there are all sorts of "toys" to help us do that. But for some, these units take away from the neighborhood because of their size or number, so the city has some rules regarding the storage of these units.
No recreation vehicle shall be parked or stored in the front yard setback except for a period of time up to 72 hours for the purpose of minor maintenance or preparing for or returning from a trip.
All recreational vehicles stored outside must be kept in good repair and secure to prevent unauthorized entry.
No recreational vehicle shall be connected to electricity, gas, water or sanitary sewer facilities, except that a temporary electrical connection may be made for the purpose of recharging batteries.
No recreational vehicle shall be used for living or housekeeping purposes while on the premises.
Recreational vehicles are not allowed to be parked on public property or in the public right-of-way for more than 72 hours when loading or unloading, or preparing for or returning from a trip.

BkiUaWnxK4sA-46xLXzb | Blog Posts with the Tag "parliament"
About eleven months ago, the "Boundary Commission for England" (BCE) published its proposals for new constituency boundaries for the next Westminster Parliament. This included a cross-Tamar parliamentary constituency, which was rightly condemned as an outrage that ignored a thousand years of history.
The Boundary Commissions for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have presented their recommendations for new parliamentary constituencies to the Westminster Parliament.
In this weeks Cornish Guardian, my article praises Cornish MPs for their support for a Cornish tickbox on the 2021 census, and looks forward at what the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities should mean for Cornwall.
Votes at sixteen is a campaign that I have always supported and I was pleased when the Scottish Parliament allowed 16 and 17 year olds to vote in the 2014 independence referendum. It was particularly heartening when the Parliament then legislated to lower the voting age for all subsequent Scottish elections (including local councils).
The Cornish Guardian has, on numerous occasions, reported on the parliamentary boundary review, through which the Conservative Government is seeking to reduce the number of MPs to 600 and redraw the political map of the United Kingdom. Here in Cornwall, there has been massive opposition to the changes which would breach the territorial integrity of our Celtic land and lead to the creation of an unpopular cross-Tamar Devonwall seat.
Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill - an end to Devonwall in sight?
I am pleased that the Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill has passed its latest hurdle in the House of Commons, when it was read for a second time.
On 21st November at Cornwall Council, I moved a motion reaffirming the unitary authority's opposition to a cross-Tamar parliamentary seat.
In this week's Cornish Guardian, my article looked at the continued threat of a Devonwall seat and the launch of the latest "Boundary Commission for England" consultation. The article includes material already published on this blog, but the article is here for the sake of completeness. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdXk4uBhhxMaCil0G | LinkedIn tips for accountants and finance professionals
Accountants should rethink their approach to virtual networking in a post-COVID-19 landscape.
By Hannah Pitstick
Networking has been unusually difficult over the past year, and most professionals have leaned on virtual platforms to form and maintain professional relationships. Many of the best practices for navigating LinkedIn have remained unchanged by the pandemic, but experts contend that accountants should approach the platform in a more mindful and deliberate way because of the shifting attitudes and behaviors of a beleaguered nation.
"Virtual networking has really never been more important, so I don't know if I think the way LinkedIn is being used has changed, but people are beginning to realize its value, and I think it will continue to be valuable even beyond this pandemic," said Karen Yankovich, founder of Uplevel Media LLC, a LinkedIn marketing and consulting company based in New York.
Once in-person meetings and events return, Yankovich predicts accountants are going to continue virtual networking and meetings to eliminate commutes and travel, while still developing the specific relationships that will help them achieve their professional goals.
If you're hoping to get the most out of LinkedIn during and after the pandemic, aim to follow these new do's and don'ts recommended by experts.
Don't spam your network. Spammy messages have always been bad practice for professional networking, but during the pandemic, LinkedIn inboxes have been filling up with more junk than ever, and many people have lost their patience.
"There is almost never a reason to reach out to cold leads on LinkedIn," Yankovich said. "There are tons of things you can use as a connector, and while it takes a little bit more work upfront, you're going to have a higher success rate."
Instead of sending out 100 cold messages to strangers, Yankovich recommends doing some research and sending out about five warm messages a day to people with whom you have the potential to create genuine professional relationships. Warm messages are much more likely to get a response, she said, and avoiding a sales tone can help bolster your authenticity and credibility.
Expertise and credibility are among the biggest reasons people do business with accountants, according to Ty Hendrickson, CPA, founder of The Sales Seed, a consulting and training company for accountants, based in Lexington, Ky. "Being on LinkedIn is a great place to build that credibility and expertise, but it was never meant to be a social selling platform; it was built to connect professionals," she said.
Hendrickson said that it's fine to send out cold connection requests to people you don't know, but in those cases, she recommends not including a message at all and letting your profile speak for itself.
"Update your profile and make sure it speaks directly to your ideal client because that's what people are going to look at to decide whether to accept your connection request," she said.
Over the past year, cold messages have been overused and people are tuning out before they ever read them, Hendrickson said. "Those that are open to connecting with someone new will accept your connection request with or without a message," she said. The relationship building with cold prospects begins after they accept your connection request when you follow up with a simple thank-you message, Hendrickson added. From there, you can start to build rapport if they are open to a conversation.
Do create a profile for the person you strive to be. If you're hoping to advance, evolve, or make a shift in your career, your profile should project the version of yourself you're working toward becoming.
"Many people think of LinkedIn as their digital résumé, but your résumé is all about who you used to be," Yankovich said. "Your LinkedIn profile should really be projecting your brand into the future."
Of course you should include information about your past in the experience section of your profile, but Yankovich argued that if you really want to show up as an influencer and leader, you should write a profile for the position you want and the person you're striving to become.
She added that you should be sure to focus on what you can do for others. For example, instead of saying, "I'm a financial consultant," you might say, "I'm a financial consultant, and I help women over 50 create enough wealth to retire at 60."
"Now you're telling me about you, but you're making it about me, and that's what leaders do," she said.
Hendrickson pointed out that a great profile is more important than ever in a world where people are throwing your name into a Google search and gathering their first impression of you through your LinkedIn profile.
"You want to take the time to really create a profile that positions you as an expert, as someone who is worthy of a client's time and money, so it's always been important, but it's more important now than ever," she said.
Do dive into your existing network. It's very possible that you're already connected with people who can help you achieve your goals, so before you send out hundreds of new connection requests, Yankovich recommends combing through your existing network.
She suggests looking through your current connections and reaching out to those you haven't spoken to in a while and saying something along the lines of, "Hey, we've been connected here for two years, I think we first met at [insert conference]. We're not meeting for coffee anytime soon, so I thought I would dig into my LinkedIn network and see who I haven't talked to in a while, and you stood out — I would love to hear about what you're up to."
"Whatever it is you're looking to build relationships for, whether it's getting a new job, creating a new business, getting more clients, or generating publicity, you probably have people already in your network who could help you with that," she said.
For example, if you belong to the chamber of commerce in your city, Yankovich recommends looking through the membership directory, finding about 10 people you really want to build relationships with, and reaching out to them on LinkedIn, saying something like, "It doesn't look like we're going to a luncheon at the chamber anytime soon, but we're both members and it looks like you're doing some really interesting things. I would love to know more about you and what you joined the chamber to do."
Yankovich pointed out that cherry-picking the people you want to virtually connect with can actually be more time-effective than networking at an in-person conference or luncheon where you might talk to dozens of people before making a fruitful connection.
Don't forget to engage with others. Having a great profile and posting interesting, relevant content on LinkedIn are both important, but perhaps not as crucial as regularly engaging with others.
"When people post, but don't comment and share, that's like going to a networking event, and walking up to someone and saying, 'Did you see this article on how to get five new clients in a week?' And then turning and walking away," Hendrickson said. "You would never do that. So even though you're on the internet, if you're trying to network, the conversation goes both ways."
Yankovich recommends engaging anytime LinkedIn asks you to engage, whether that's congratulating someone on a new job or work anniversary, and then spending around 15 minutes a day liking and commenting on posts and sharing a few articles. She also suggests keeping a list of the 10 people you want to build relationships with, seeing what they're talking about on LinkedIn, and jumping into those conversations every couple of days.
"Your goal is to be on the wall, and you don't have to create content to make that happen," she said. "It is just as valuable, if not more valuable, for you to be engaging with other people's conversations as it is to start your own."

BkiUfIM25V5jP7YhGw13 | Local Business is the third album by the American punk/indie rock band Titus Andronicus. It was released on October 22, 2012 via XL. The first single, "In a Big City", was posted in the band's blog on September 19, 2012.
A more stripped down record than their previous efforts, Local Business was recorded live in the studio with almost no overdubs, creating an album that was "plug-in-and-play" ready, helping the band sound as close as possible to the album when playing live.
The album received positive reviews and was listed at #38 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2012, saying "These Jersey boys might be America's most desperately ambitious, righteously exciting punk-rock flamethrowers."

BkiUeNE5jDKDyJ94XxjD | Rural Benferri - Costa Blanca, Spain
Benferri is the small village situated in the triangle between Orihuela, Murcia and Alicante in Spain. Benferri is a delightful village to visit.
The history of Benferri goes back to the wars between the Romans and the Carthaginians and later between the Christians and the Moors. Under the long Arab occupation there were many technological advances including the building of walls, wells, dams and irrigation. The cultivated land increased and improved crop yields. In 1242 under the reign of the Castilian king Fernando III "The Saint" the village became known as Benferri.
Since then, Benferri family was related to Rocamora, who after accompanying Jaime I of Aragon in his campaign of conquest of Valencia, obtained these lands reward for services rendered in the war. In 1464, Juan Rocamora bought the estate and Rocamora tower. In 1494 the village consisted of a tower, but Jaime de Rocamora began to populate the area making houses and attracting families, work continued by his son Jeronimo de Rocamora, who thanks to the fortune he had earned their financial activities, managed the settlement of 29 families.
In 1622 the church of San Jeronimo, the Patron Saint of Benferri, was constructed under the protection of the Rocamora family, a late Renaissance style.
Benferri's shield has a blackberry branch with a golden tower -symbolizing the most important milestones of the small village, whose main economic activities are construction work and agriculture.
Today, in the village plaza is the Town Hall and its traditional fountain. There are plenty of seats where you can relax amongst the pretty trees, shrubs and flowers and watch the world go by. The village are many parks and despite only being small, Benferri does have shops and most importantly bars and restaurants.
The Patron Saint feast day is held in September in honour of San Jeronimo with a open air celebrations and a procession.
The rural tranquility of this small village, together with the proximity of the coastal areas of Orihuela, Torrevieja and the Mar Menor and the sunny micro-climate, Benferri is an ideal place for a number of foreigners, mainly British and Germans, who have moved their home here.

BkiUevzxK7IDOUSbvQwb | I hope your dog isn't as high maintenance as mine. Although Chunky is pretty tough on land, he's a softie when it comes to water — I mean, like a total scaredy-cat. So, although we live in the Sunshine State and have miles of Florida beaches, Chunky would much rather be on dry land.
But if your dog is cooler than mine, there's no need for pet-owner's guilt: you know, leaving your dog behind while you enjoy a day at the beach. Florida has great dog beaches that are just as delightful as the rest.
To best use this guide, click on the address of each beach to launch Google Maps on your phone. Also, remember to call the location before arriving to check on dog breed regulations, rules and hours.
This beach, often referred to as Friends of Jupiter Beach, is the only legal dog beach in Palm Beach County. It's a 2.5-mile stretch of beach parallel to A1A and Marcinski Road in Jupiter. It's completely free, including parking. Go online and read the regulations and advisories before planning your trip.
Friends of Jupiter Beach: 2188 Marcinski Rd, Jupiter, just south of Carlin Park; Contact information: 561-748-8140 or 561-741-2400; info@friendsofjupiterbeach.org; Hours: Sunrise to sunset.
This 1.5-acre spot on Davis Islands is just south of Peter O. Knight Airport and east of Seaplane Basin. It features more than 200 feet of waterfront access and a dry, fenced-in dog park. Owners are allowed to let their dogs burn off some steam unleashed.
Though you must pay a fee to get to the island via the Causeway as well as pay $3 an hour for parking, it's worth it. The island is a beauty, with clear waters and sea shells along the coast just a few minutes from Fort Myers. It's dog-friendly, but your dog must be leashed at all times.
Gulfside Algiers Beach: 2001 Algiers Ln., Sanibel; 239-472-3700 or 239-472-6397; Visit fortmyers-sanibel.com or mysanibel.com.
This dog beach is very pretty, with the charm of a mangrove island. The vegetation provides plenty of shade around the island for your pet. The water is very clear and your dog can have some off-the-leash fun. The beach is on the west side, just outside of Lovers Key State Park. Doggie showers are available and parking is free.
Bonita Beach Dog Beach: 8800 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach; 239-949-4615; Visit fortmyers-sanibel.com or leegov.com.
Check out the Southernmost Point in the United States, and experience a paradise like no other. You and your dog will enjoy humidity at its finest and clear water all around.
Take the toll road to Key Biscayne but stop just off the Causeway. This is Miami's most popular dog-friendly beach and it goes by the name of Hobie Beach. The water is shallow and parking is free. It's not free to get in, but it's not expensive either.
For any questions regarding water quality or alerts at this beach, contact the Florida Department of Health for Miami-Dade County at 305-324-2400.
In case you were wondering, Bark Beach in North Shore Open Space in Miami Beach is permanently closed due to new developments in the area.
When the beaches are clean, this is a great place for owners and pets. Named one of the top five dog parks/beaches in the South by Southern Living magazine in 2010, the beach is 300 yards long. It sits next to 3 acres of fenced-in park space, which is separated for large and small dogs. You'll find plenty of water fountains and hoses to rinse off Fido. The beach is free and parking is $5.
With more than 400 feet of beachfront space, powder-white sands and turquoise waters, your leashed pup will love this Northwest Florida beach playground. It's located at the southern beach end of Pier Park, west of City Pier. Bonus: there's a hose at the shower station. Afterward, you can take a stroll and do a little restaurant hopping at the many outdoor, pet-friendly restaurants throughout Pier Park.
Jacksonville is home to 22 miles of beaches and for many pet owners, its beach life is a dream. Not only does Jax beach boast 4 miles of sand and surf, and a killer pier, it has some great dog-friendly restaurants and even an off-the-leash park with separate large-dog and small-dog areas. Nearby Paws Park offers pet owners more flexibility since dogs aren't allowed on the beach daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April through September.
Locals and Tampa visitors alike love this dog park with a beach. It's quiet and relaxing. You'll find picnic tables, a watering station for your pup and poop bags in abundance. But save yourself the vet bill by avoiding the far end of the beach; there are sharp rocks there that can cut a paw pad easily.
In Tampa, outside of designated dog parks and leash-free areas, dogs must be leashed at all times per a city ordinance.
About 54 miles from Orlando and near Daytona is this dog daycation heaven. Smyrna Dunes Park features more than 500 feet of sandy beach at low tide. While there is a leash law for both the park and the beach that is enforced, there's still plenty to enjoy, from picnicking and fishing to swimming and taking a guided nature walk. Parking is $10 per vehicle.
Smyrna Dunes Park: 2995 N. Peninsula Ave., New Smyrna Beach; For questions or comments, email recprocoastal@volusia.org or call 386-248-8072.
Don't forget: have plenty of fresh water and take frequent breaks in the shade. Ask your vet if your dog requires sunscreen (not kidding — some breeds do). Also, bring bowls, a leash, and poop bags, and make sure your dog is up-to-date on vaccines and heart-worm medication. Dog beaches are like a kindergarten — tons of contagious illnesses. You'll need plenty of towels for the car ride home, too.
And one last important note: Make sure to call the Florida Department of Health regarding the beach you want to visit, as many warnings, alerts and watches have been issued due to poor water quality including the red tide phenomenon, blue-green algae, toxic bacteria and closures. Contact: 850-245-4444.

BkiUdIg5qsFAf3AIAIwc | " How do you say to your child in the night?
When you know that it might not be true?
What do you do? "
Once upon a time, but not that long ago Fiasco, an adventurous and creative young troupe with members from a Brown University theatre program, impressed the New York critics and audiences with their minimalist six-actor version of Shakespeare's Cymbeline. The troupe is now in Princeton with a 10-actor version of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. They are here to prove, and they do, that this ever enchanting musical is open and receptive to many different approaches and styles.
The one thing that I insist upon is being able hear clearly and without distortion every witty word in this brilliant score. Imagine, if you will, not being able to clearly understand lyrics like that above. For the excellence of this aspect of the current production, I commend sound designer Darron L. West, who should be sent immediately to oversee the re-engineering in most sound booths on Broadway.
Leaving behind the more giant-like footsteps often left by previous productions, this version takes us imaginatively into the woods made of shimmering piano strings that crisscross across the width of the stage of the Berlind Theatre at the McCarter Theatre Center even as they reach from the floor to the rafters. If that isn't stunning enough, set designer Derek McLane has placed on high ten very differently shaped chandeliers each casting it own sparkle on the action as co-existing celestial bodies. That's a very spectacular frame in which the ten performers are already seen scurrying about on an aged wood floor. Their muted but also whimsically consigned garments may look as if they have been rescued from an attic trunk, but the performers are exuberant, attractive and best of all disarmingly talented.
In this setting that is probably meant to be an attic there are boxes, crates, ladders strewn about, also an old-fashioned dress-making form that, as you can imagine, will serve as a tree. A piano, however, is the main set piece.
On the two side walls are complimentary installations that continue the piano motif. There are a few musical instruments propped in various locations, each ready to be used by a performer who may or may not also be in the midst of becoming another character - the Wolf becomes the Prince, Rapunzel becomes Red Riding Hood, the Cow becomes the Prince's brother.
Every production of Into the Woods has the potential for one or two performers to step forward and make their character a signature opportunity. This staging allows virtually every member to stand out and shine, make us laugh or simply make us just think. Wow!
For hearty laughs, there is Andy Grotelueschen's who gets milked in a most usual way as Milk White, the Cow. He is also Rapunzel's slightly goofy Prince as well as Florinda the giddiest of Cinderella's sisters, who, sidles up against Noah Brody (who plays the other silly sister Lucinda), so they may flit their way around the stage behind a twin set of window curtains that remain on the rod.
Brody is fun to watch as the sly Wolf, but also as Cinderella's unfaithful husband ("I've been raised to be charming, not sincere.") When the two princes gallop on stage and stop to sing their duet (about being in love with someone else) "Agony," it will surprise you to see who gets to hold on to their stallions.
Terrific performances are given by Jessie Austin as Baker's bossy, ill-fated Wife; Liz Hayes, as Cinderella's loopy step-mother and Jack's over-protective mother. As Cinderella, the delightful Claire Karpen loses her slippers as often as she loses her balance. Patrick Mulryan never loses Jack's endearingly "vague disposition and Jennifer Mudge's witch will astonish you when she makes her incredible transformation from yuck to wow. Emily Young is wonderful as the golden hair (made of yellow yarn make for unraveling) and also as a particularly scrappy Little Red Riding Hood. Even the excellent Matt Castle, at the piano, gets a line, or rather a "moo."
What seems to me more apparent every time I see another production is how masterfully Sondheim and Lapine were able to embrace, through contemporary sensibilities and artistic savvy, both the universality and the timelessness of these legendary fables. The Fiasco troupe's concept certainly casts it own unique spell on the Grimmsian stories. I don't want to be a spoiler by writing about all the tricks that are played on some of the most famous story-book characters before and beyond "happily ever after."
What a pleasure it is to be in the company of a troupe that, under the joint direction of Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld, playfully pays their respects to Sondheim and his collaborator James Lapine, at the same time bringing a revitalizing freshness to the music, lyrics and book. Many of the songs, in particular "No One is Alone," as beautifully sung by Karpen and the ensemble, linger in the head long after you have left the theater. But all the music is addressed without pretense by performers who we see earnestly at play, discovering and using what they find, believing and becoming who and what they can be.
One is impressed pretty quickly by how the Fiasco troupe make us see each of the character's faults, foibles and idiosyncrasies, all of which we can recognize daily in each other. The moral and ethical imprint on this musical is as relevant today as it was when this amazing musical first took us into the woods.
Within the musical's quixotically episodic context, that imprint is not simply meant to be a silly and comical distortion by Sondheim and Lapine of the instructive, but mysteriously veiled parables they have taken mainly from the brothers Grimm. As the musical begins to cast its magical spell, we learn along with these edge-of-the-forest inhabitants, many of whom are not only neighbors but relatives, that getting one's wishes in life is not necessarily deliverance from self-centeredness and immaturity. Even the well-intentioned witch learns that you can't keep your chaste and beautiful daughter locked up in a tower without her reaping serious psychological consequences. And what a shame that our spirited Cinderella (Karpen) who talks to the birds isn't better appreciated by her prince?
The concept of having actors play musical instruments isn't exactly new, as it has been used for recent productions of Company and Sweeney Todd. Considering the Public Theater's production of Into the Woods last summer in Central Park didn't move to Broadway as some expected, there may be hope that this delightfully scaled-down version will prove the one parable that can be attributed directly to Sondheim and Lapine that "wishes are children and wishes come true."
The songs are mostly in the same order as found in Curtainup editor Elyse Sommer's review of the Broadway production .

BkiUcsXxK4tBViZLFBWp | Germany Bans Circumcision — Jews and Muslims Revolt Against "Religious Persecution"
July 16, 2012 cscadm 2 Comments
First of all, a special thanks to a good friend of Common Sense Conspiracy that alerted us to this rising controversy in Germany. Apparently, this has been boiling for a while. Earlier in July, a court in Germany banned the circumcision procedure citing that it causes bodily harm to babies. The concept is something eerily similar to the abortion debate. It basically comes down to the rights of the child to not be mutilated or have it's body harmed (if that's a little less belligerent way to put it). Much like abortion, it challenges the rights of grown people to determine what a child may or may not want done to it in a time when it has no voice in the matter. The court ruling caused an instant backlash, as both Jewish and Muslim peoples living in Germany complained that circumcision is a religious practice in their respective faiths and to outlaw it was an obvious infringement on their religious freedom.
The government of Germany said that it will look into the ban on circumcision as a "matter of urgency." Jewish families are especially alarmed. Those that already have children that were circumcised are concerned that if they have another child, they will not be able to observe their religious practices on the new addition. German authorities have said that religious freedom is very important in their nation and they want to resolve the matter as fast as their judicial and governmental processes allow.
The ban actually makes the act of circumcision criminal by German law. This is a result of the court ruling in Cologne. It should be noted that the ruling by the lesser court is only applicable in that one region and not on the national level, but the Jewish community in Germany is being proactive in rallying against it under fears that it might expand to include all of Germany. In a nation that will forever live in the shadow of World War II and the atrocities against the Jewish people that is labelled in history books as The Holocaust, it is easy to see why the Jewish peoples are especially wary.
The whole controversy started not with a Jewish child, but a Muslim one. A doctor was performing a circumcision on a 4-year-old Muslim boy. The operation was botched and it led to further medical problems for the child that were a direct complication from the circumcision process. This triggered an investigation and eventually charges were filed against the doctor that performed the operation. He was acquitted of all charges criminally in the matter, but the fallout still led to the now controversial ruling.
Tools of the trade. Religious or mutilation?
The crux of the matter for scientists and doctors is that circumcision is not medically necessary. Meaning that it is not a surgery that is performed out of need, but out of religious obligation. The courts in Cologne ruled that religious practice is not a valid reason to justify surgery that is not necessary for the health of the child. This grew into an even bigger debate: do the parents of a child have the right to decide whether the child should be part of a religious practice that they are not old enough to decide for themselves? Advocates of the ban say that the circumcision could be a huge problem if the child goes on to select a different religion later in life.
For Germany, it's a double whammy. Both the Muslims and Jews are infuriated at the same time. Both religions have expressed their discontent with this action, with some Muslims calling it a "slap in the face" to their religion and residence in the country. It has been labelled as "Islamophobia" in some cases. That, paired with the nation's sordid history regarding Judaism make this a crucial moment for the German government. But there are so many issues at the root of this, that it is hard to know what the defining factors will be. Is this a case of parents performing religious surgeries on children without their consent? Or is it a case of a government infringing on the religious freedoms of its people? Let us know what you think.
