California Association of Realtors’ Jennifer Branchini (California Association of Realtors, City of La Cañada Flintridge, Getty)
The ruling will have serious implications for California cities fighting the legal provision
JUL 13, 2023, 5:01 PM
By Trevor Bach
In a ruling that’s likely to reverberate around California, a Los Angeles County judge ruled this week that La Cañada Flintridge — a wealthy L.A. County city that’s been embroiled for months in an escalating dispute over the development provision known as builder’s remedy — did in fact miss a critical deadline for reaching state compliance on its housing element, implying the city is eligible for builder’s remedy projects.
The ruling carries added significance because of its implications for other builder’s remedy battles unfolding around the state. Over the
past several months, as developers have sought to use the provision to build projects that don’t conform to local zoning, La Cañada Flintridge and other development-averse cities have been fighting back hard, often by relying on arguments that seek to sidestep state housing authority.
In many cases, instead of deferring to the California Department of Housing and Community Development on housing element compliance, which determines whether or not cities are subject to builder’s remedy and other penalties, the cities have asserted they could “self-certify” their own housing elements; the court’s ruling undercuts those arguments, and in turn provides perhaps the most significant legal boost to date for builder’s remedy since the controversial provision emerged last fall as a major force in California housing development.
“This is a major win for housing,” Jennifer Branchini, president of the California Association of Realtors, said in a statement. “For far too long, certain cities and counties have treated compliance with state housing laws as optional. This decision sends a clear message: complying with these laws is not optional.”
The suit was brought by Californians for Homeownership, a nonprofit affiliated with the state realtor group that frequently files pro-housing lawsuits against cities.
“It was expected, but it was still a very big win for us,” added Matt Gelfand, a lawyer with the nonprofit who brought the suit.
La Cañada Flintridge officials said they could not comment on the specifics of the case.
The ruling, nevertheless, was nuanced. While the judge rejected the city’s request to dismiss the case, he also denied one motion from Californians for Homeownership that sought an immediate ruling to discredit the city’s housing element. Instead of issuing an immediate ruling, the judge sent that issue to a trial that could take place later this summer.
The judge also declined to issue an explicit declaration that builder’s remedy applies in the city, because he determined that Californians for Homeownership, without a pending project, does not have that legal standing, although he indicated that a developer with a pending project would be likely to win such a declaration.
On another claim brought by Californians for Homeownership, however, the judge ruled immediately in the group’s favor, determining that the city’s housing element cannot be declared in substantial compliance — the legal standard that determines eligibility for builder’s remedy and other penalties — because La Cañada Flintridgehad not completed its required rezoning after missing an earlier state deadline for compliance.
That order effectively upheld the state’s authority and rejected the city’s self certification argument while strongly implying builder’s remedy does in fact apply; a final court judgment will also impose penalties on the city that include a timely rezoning.
“Our primary goal was to pave the way for builder’s remedy to take place in this city until they get their act together,” said Gelfand, “and now that has been accomplished.”
The Tuesday afternoon ruling comes amid a monthslong saga in the town over builder’s remedy and an even longer saga over one particular property, where a development team is now seeking to use the penalty to build a five-story mixed-use project that would include 80 residential units, around 8,000 square feet of office space and a 12-room hotel. As the dispute has escalated state officials have also ramped up warnings to the city hinting at their own potential legal action.
After the court ruling Alexandra Hack, one of the partners on that project, said she was ecstatic, and that her team was “lining up our ducks in a row” for their own potential legal action against the city.
“I think the biggest thing is there is no uncertainty now. The court has ruled that self certification does not grant any substantial compliance — that is not an acceptable means of achieving a complaint housing element. It’s just simply not.”

We now know there are no new herbicides with different sites of action in the pipeline, so many growers await the approval of the introduction of soybean varieties with various herbicide traits. For now, we are fortunate to have LibertyLink® soybeans. In recent years, their sales have skyrocketed. The Burrus/Hughes lineup of LibertyLink soybeans is: Hughes 236LL, Hughes 266LL, Hughes 285LL, Hoblit 355LL, Hoblit 384LL, Hoblit 405LL, Hoblit 423LL, and Hoblit 456LL. The use of Liberty® or glufonsinate, a contact herbicide, along with the Burrus LibertyLink soybeans lineup, can be an effective tool to combat weeds like waterhemp, that can be resistant to other herbicide groups. Burrus LibertyLink soybeans also offer yield.
We continue to teach our growers how to achieve successful weed control with a LibertyLink system:
- Before purchasing LibertyLink soybeans, check with your ag chemical supplier to make sure there will be an adequate supply of Liberty herbicide available.
- Start weed free – Fall/spring burndown or tillage might be needed to rid fields of weeds before planting. “Never plant into a stand of weeds, hoping for the best.”
- The use of a full-rate of a preplant residual herbicide product will help to reduce weed populations, slow weed growth, and offer more flexibility on when the post application of Liberty can be applied.
- Thorough weed coverage is key, when it comes to the application of Liberty because it is a contact herbicide. Better coverage with Liberty can be accomplished by particular nozzles (flat fan or others) that provide medium spray droplets (250 to 350 microns), with higher pressures (40 to 60 psi), at slower application speeds (12 mph or less), with the addition of lots of water - 20 GPA), along with adjuvants such as 2.5 to 3 lbs AMS per acre.
- Liberty is rainfast within 4 hours. Be sure not spray Liberty at night or under adverse conditions (fog, heavy dew, rain or stress such as drought, cool temperatures, and extended periods of cloudiness). Spray Liberty after dawn and 2 hours before sunset to avoid the possibility of reduced weed control.
- Apply the first post Liberty application (rate of 22-29 fl oz/A) 22 days after crop emergence or up to V3 soybean growth stage, before weeds reach a height above 3-4 inches. The higher rate (up to 36 fl oz/acre) of Liberty might be needed if environmental conditions prevent timely application and weeds are 6- 10 inches tall. However, an application of more than 22 oz. of Liberty is not recommended past V4 soybean growth stage.
- A second post Liberty application (rate of 22 to 29 fl oz/acre) can be applied if needed, but keep in mind that your total use rate of Liberty cannot exceed 65 fl oz/acre.
- The first and second applications of Liberty should be at least 5 days apart.
- Use a full rate of a post residual herbicide with your post Liberty application if needed for harder to control weeds such as amaranths.

In recent days, similar protests took place in France, Belgium, Austria and Jerusalem, which were met with varying opposition from their respective governments.
What’s the “freedom convoy?"
- In late January, truck drivers from British Columbia set out en route to Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, to stage a protest.
- These truckers then parked their big rigs in downtown Ottawa and set up camp, blocking traffic and causing disruption in the city by blaring their horns day and night.
- The reason for the protest was Canada’s vaccine mandate for truckers who travel into the United States and then reenter Canada.
- The protest quickly spread to other places in Canada, too – Toronto, Quebec City and a bridge that crosses into the US called Ambassador Bridge.
- More than that, though, they’re inspiring copycat protests around the world.
- In recent days, similar protests took place in France, Belgium, Austria and Jerusalem, which were met with varying opposition from their respective governments.
What do the protesters want?
- Well, their primary demand is to get rid of the vaccine mandate in place for truckers since that’s why they’re there in the first place.
- But considering the size of the protests, there have been a lot of people saying different things, including making the demand that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resign.
- These mixed signals have made it a bit tricky to figure out exactly what would get the truckers to leave.
- Options are being floated to solve the problem in other ways, including by police action if necessary.
- And on Monday, Trudeau formally declared a national public order emergency to try and crackdown on the protests.
Does that mean the protests will be broken up by force?
- Well, an order like this has some pretty interesting implications, but not all of them are forceful or even involve the police.
- Some of them do, though, and part of the order would make it illegal to block places like border crossings, giving police the ability to arrest protesters and seize their trucks if necessary.
- But it would also have wider-ranging effects, like requiring insurance companies to stop insuring trucks used in the protests or requiring tow-truck operators to work with police to move the trucks, mobilizing a previously hesitant group of people.
- It also empowers banks to freeze the accounts of protesters, a power that has been used by at least one Canadian bank that froze more than US$1 million collected from a now shut down GoFundMe campaign.
- Trudeau said that the national public order emergency implementation “will be time-limited, geographically targeted" in addition to being “reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address.” He also said that the government is not calling in the military.
- But, this order is still subject to parliamentary approval, which must be voted on within one week of Trudeau calling for it.
- The first thing for Canada is that invoking the Emergencies Act, which has never been used since the law was passed in 1988, must be approved by the Parliament. An earlier version of the law called the War Measures Act was used only three times in Canadian history.
- The hope would then be that the government could crack down on certain things, such as the blockading of bridges and the crowdfunding of resources, and that the protesters would eventually leave.
- But, this response could take weeks and doesn’t account for the traction this movement has gained in other countries.
- For example, the US Department of Homeland Security is warning that similar protests could block events in the US, such as President Biden’s State of the Union Address on March 1.

BULLETIN: The Utah judge whose ruling got attention around the country has now reversed his order to take a foster child away from a lesbian couple due to their sexual orientation, The New York Times said on Friday.
A juvenile-justice judge in Utah, Scott Johansen, has ordered the removal of a foster child from the home of lesbian parents, saying the girl would have a better life as the child of heterosexual parents.
A front-page Washington Post article spotlighted the ruling, examined its legal and civil rights implications and said it has ignited something of a firestorm nationally.
“Although the Supreme Court affirmed the right to same-sex marriage nationally in June, many states have yet to incorporate the ruling into their policies governing parenting rights,” the Post noted. It said Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, a Republican, said he was “puzzled” by the judge’s ruling and he had concerns about judicial “activism.”

BEACON FALLS — Two new businesses have opened their doors in the Murtha Industrial Park.
K&W Tire and UTZ Quality Foods have both moved into vacant buildings in the industrial park in the last few months. UTZ Quality Foods’ new building, which is located at building 4D and will be used as a distribution center, is approximately 19,200 square feet. K&W Tire’s new building, which is located at building 3A and will be used as a wholesale location, is approximately 32,000 square feet.
K&W Tire’s Vice President of Communications and Corporate Affairs Brandy Seyfert explained in an email that the company has locations in Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as Connecticut. The Beacon Falls site is the company’s 10th location.
The company currently distributes tires from the Canadian border to Washington, D.C.
“We opened our 10th branch, in Beacon Falls, the week of Thanksgiving as a wholesale only location. We chose Beacon Falls because of its proximity to current customers that were being serviced out of our Ayer, Mass. location. This new location also allows us to increase Cooper Tire sales in Connecticut and fill in the geographical gap we had in delivery,” Seyfert wrote.
UTZ Quality Foods makes and distributes a variety of snack foods, including potato chips and pretzels.
UTZ Quality Foods, whose headquarters are located in Hanover, Penn., has distribution centers across most the eastern United States. In addition to the Beacon Falls distribution center, UTZ has distribution centers in Franklin and East Hartford, as well as Brewster, N.Y., according to the company’s website.
A message seeking comment from company representatives was not returned as of this post.
Beacon Falls’ Economic Development Commission Chairman Jeremy Rodorigo said the companies choosing Beacon Falls shows businesses have begun to take an interest in the town.
“I think what’s happening is people are looking at Beacon Falls more closely. The town is developing a business friendly reputation,” Rodorigo said. “They give Beacon Falls a look, see we have property and space available and they come here.”
Having industrial parks, such as Murtha and the Pines Bridge Industrial Park, do more than just help attract businesses.
“Any business that comes in and brings personal property helps the tax base,” Rodorigo said. “Whether the business moves into town and builds new or rents, it helps the tax base. The employees that work at these places will buy gas and groceries in town, and eat at local restaurants. Some of the employees might be hired from the citizens.”
First Selectman Gerard Smith is also pleased to see these two businesses moving into town and extended a welcome to them in his December First Selectman’s letter.
“Corporate partners help keep Beacon Falls affordable, and we thank K&W and UTZ for choosing us. I believe we will be fine partners,” Smith wrote.
Seyfert said that K&W Tire is also pleased to be part of the Beacon Falls community.
“We are excited about this new location and are pleased to be able to add to the local economy and provide new employment opportunities to the residents,” Seyfert said.

Nancy Sajben, MD, forwards Thomas Fuller’s Sept. 10 New York Times piece on cannabis cultivation in California. Supply and demand within the state are out of whack, and most growers have chosen not to get permits. Fuller cites Hezekiah Allen of the California Growers Association, who
“estimates that about 11 percent of growers — about 3,500 of 32,000 farmers in the Emerald Triangle, which covers Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity counties — have applied for permits. Most have been deterred by the voluminous paperwork to obtain a permit, the fees and the taxes, he said.”
Mendocino County Sheriff Thomas D. Allman told Fuller that he was primarily targeting growers on public lands and those who damage the environment. Growers who paid to register with the county wish Allman would take down their black-market competitors.
California, which by one estimate produces seven times more marijuana than it consumes, will probably continue to be a major exporter — illegally — to other states. In part, that is because of the huge incentive to stay in the black market: marijuana on the East Coast sells for several times more than in California
The Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which passed in November as Proposition 64 and is also known as “the Sean Parker Initiative” (in honor of the biggest funder) reduced large-scale marijuana grows from felony to misdemeanor offernses, greatly reducing the risk faced by unpermitted growers. Fuller sees AUMA as the source of the looming field day for the heat. Some call it “legalization.”

03 November 2023 12:18 PM
ChatGPT, which is an Artificial Intelligence tool developed by OpenAI, is being used for various tasks such as- writing blogs, essays, informative articles, social media posts, email templates, product and service descriptions, and more. A user provides it with a specific prompt or keywords based on which ChatGPT generates the content. It makes use of the data that is already there on the internet. Earlier ChatGPT was unable to access information and training data past September, 2021. ChatGPT didn’t have real-time internet access when it was introduced.
In May, collaboration with Microsoft Bing was announced the objective of which is to give ChatGPT access to internet.
A beta feature “Browse with Bing” has been introduced. The added functionality will enable chatbot access the internet and generate information with the help of the web browsing feature.
First it will be available to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users. As per the announcement, later on it will be free to non-subscribers as well. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted the company's official tweet. For any query of the user, the ChatGPT bot will be able to crawl over the internet for the latest updates on that specific query. Earlier the AI chatbot was not capable of answering any query related to current world events.
Allegedly OpenAI is taking secure measures by restricting the chatbot from visiting websites outside of Bing’s “safe mode”. As per the new information-
Along with the present chat function, this new feature will make ChatGPT a powerful tool. But various concerns are being raised which are hard to ignore as well:
There is no doubt about the fact that the security-related aspect will be compromised when an AI bot is allowed full access to a live internet connection. There is a possibility of users’ information being misused causing a serious security and privacy threats.
With the help of having access to personal information of the users, the chance of spreading misinformation also increases. Spreading misinformation can prove potentially dangerous on large scale and not just on an individual level. Search Engines have their own set of security mechanisms for content filtering to control the unreliable information but we do know that these could be made to work in their own favor as well.
The information that is available on the internet can itself be unreliable and the chatbot using that information to generate information further raises questions about the data quality.
The swiftness with which OpenAI’s ChatGPT is advancing seems hard to catch up to. It is surprising the world both in a good and concerned manner. Undoubtedly, it will provide us with numerous opportunities. But the bad effects are yet to be figured out.
In an article in The New York Times by Cade Metz, a technology reporter, several aspects related to the technology were shared. During a discussion on ChatGPT’s potential capabilities, Cade Metz asked OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about the risk of it undermining human labor. OpenAI CEO seemed reluctant but he did share his belief that he could not imagine a world where human intelligence was useless.

CitizensNet Newsletter: DISASTER RECOVERY | September 9, 2021
City Council Approves New Hope Housing Savoy, Providing 120 Affordable Rental Homes in Sharpstown
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and City Council today approved $13.2
“The floods of the past decade coupled with the challenges of the pandemic have increased the need for intervention before families or individuals are forced into homelessness,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner, “The Savoy development will bring valuable resources and services to vulnerable families in the southwest Houston.”
New Hope Housing Savoy will be a four-story, elevator-accessibl
“With a 26-year history of creating and maintaining high-quality, affordable homes and a robust service model to help tenants succeed in the personal lives and in the community, New Hope Housing brings expertise, and experience working with the City” said Ray Miller, assistant director of multifamily development at the Housing and Community Development Department. “We look forward to the continued collaboration to bring this development and services to more Houstonians.”
The City is financing 39% of the total development cost of almost $33.8 million. The National Equity Fund will provide more than $14.1 million in tax credits awarded by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and charitable contributions provide the balance.
The Harvey Multifamily Program is made possible by funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), with oversight by the Texas General Land Office. In total, the program will spend $450 million to create over 4,300 resilient rental homes across Houston. Information on each development and its progress can be found at recovery.houstontx.gov/
The City of Houston Housing and Community Development (HCDD) makes long-term investments to better the lives of Houston residents by creating opportunities for every Houstonian to have a home they can afford in a community where they can thrive. Our department will spend approximately $450 million in federal, state, and local funding this fiscal year to construct and maintain affordable homes, reduce barriers to homeownership, support the work of social service providers, build public amenities, and facilitate disaster recovery efforts.

Hi, everyone! Here's a few guidelines that should help with your ease of maneuvering yourselves through next Saturday.
The dress code is business casual, but most important be comfortable. LADIES!! - The ceremony as well as reception will be on grass--please bring comfortable shoes to enjoy the whole evening.
Parking is free--the lot is located in the gate.You will congregate in a turnaround, and be shuttled to the ceremony site by professional drivers, so please, please, please don't be late.
PLEASE VISIT THE RESTROOM BEFORE THE CEREMONY. There are no restrooms up at the ceremony site, and we anticipate the drive up, ceremony, and drive down will take about 1 hour.
We anticipate the evening will get chilly despite the hot California summers we all love. Please bring a sweater or light jacket for the evening, so that you can stay out by the dance floor all night long with us!
We'll have a few Blue and Orange balloons at the entrance(hillside of PCH) to turn right in the nature preserve. The address again is 33905 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu CA. You can also check the Map link on the right hand side of this page for help.
A couple of things to know. Traffic clogs up along Zuma Beach which is just west of Kanan Road. As you see below in the red, traffic along PCH backs up here on the weekend and takes roughly 20-30 minutes just to get through this one mile stretch.
Here's a couple of traffic tips that can be helpful from getting to the Site if you're coming from the Valley or the South Bay.
FROM THE VALLEY:
The best way to get there if you're on the 101 is to exit Kanan and head south. After Six Miles, turn right on Mulhullond Hwy to AVOID the Kanan backup and stay left about a mile down as it forks into Encinal Canyon Rd. After 3 1/2 Miles, you'll hit a T in the road. Make a left turn. AVOID the 23! It looks shorter, but is very windy and it'll get you car sick. Once you hit PCH, turn right and you're less than 2 miles from the site:
FROM THE SOUTH BAY:
This is a great little traffic tip I got from Dan Mack as the stretch of the 405 North is always packed up through the I-10. Stay in the right hand lane as you pass the airport up until you merge on to the Marina Fwy(90) west. Exit the first street, Centinela Ave., and continue North(it changes it name to Bundy along the way). Once you go under the I-10, there's an entrance to the Santa Monica Fwy West on your left.

I’m a rug girl. I know that sounds absurd to say. But, anytime I’ve moved into a new place, the rug is my first concern. It anchors a space, making it feel automatically more complete. I spent weeks searching for the perfect rug for my current apartment. And it’s good. So good, in fact, that when my cousin was looking to invest in a new rug, she tasked me with finding it for her.
This is all to say that when I recommend a rug brand to you, you know you can trust me.
And that brand is Beni.
Beni rugs feature gorgeously simple designs and lusciously thick wools. And the coolest part is that you can completely customize them! Because each rug is both handmade and custom-made, you’re able to choose your pattern and then pick your own colorways from their rich selections.
Beyond all of this already making Beni rugs the coolest, the process for how they’re made and the mission of the company is truly remarkable. Each rug is individually handmade in the Atlas Mountains of northern Africa. The wool is gathered by shepherds (a single rug can use between 50-100 coats of wool!), dyed using all-natural pigments, and then strung onto looms. The looms are tended to by women in the village. One woman weaves each rug from start-to-finish, a process that takes over a month long!
The whole thing is incredible and the finished product is even more impressive. Garance loves Beni rugs so much, she is going to have three in her new home! Get excited to see them once the remodel is finished. But, in the meantime, we just had to share this brand with you!

Donovan Catholic picked up its 22nd win of the season thanks to Lindsay Nelson’s work on the mound and a tremendous defensive play by Mya Lamicella in a 2-1 win at Middletown North in a game that pitted two of the top softball teams in the state. SSZ has all the highlights and post-game reaction in our US Army Softball Game of the Week
Donovan Catholic 2 Middletown North 1
The Griffins manufactured runs in the 3rd and 4th inning and Lindsay Nelson went the distance giving up just one run to get to 22-0 on the season. Alex Pagano hit a sacrifice fly to left field in the 3rd inning to score Mya Lamicella and Mikayla LaPlaca hit a hard grounder to 3rd that had Kayla Roncin slide home to beat the throw. In the 6th inning, Middletown North’s Riley Kernan made it a 2-1 game with an RBI double to right center field. The Lions were primed to tie the game, but Lamicella made a diving grab to take a base hit away from Kayla Gallo to get out of the inning. Nelson gave up five hits and struck out eight to improve to 15-0 on the season. Watch the highlights of a fantastic game in our US Army Softball Game of the Week:

Crystal Reed wore a messy ends-going-every-which-way bun hairstyle to the *Lone Ranger *premiere over the weekend, and somehow, she pulled it off.
It's the soft wavy pieces in front helped elevate this messy bun from "running-errand hairstyle" to "premiere-worthy." That and that even in its chaotic state, the bun is pretty sleek. No frizz here. All in all, I'd say she made this work—look fancy, even.

“The Lord of the Rings” (2001-2003) actor Elijah Wood has already worked on a movie with Vin Diesel and now he wants to join the casts of “Fast and Furious.” Wood may be one of the most important characters of “The Last Witch Hunter” and Diesel’s right hand, but he wants to take their relationship to the next level. Read the texts below to get a scoop of it.
The 34-year-old Wood not only wants to be a part of the next “Fast and Furious” film, he has already achieved himself a perfect role for him in his mind. He wants to be the son of “One Race Films” founder Diesel’s character Dominic Toretto.
“What if I was his illegitimate son that just, like, pops up in [Fast and Furious] 9. It would be pretty awesome,” Wood said to People at a special screening of “The Last Witch Hunter” in the mid of October that took place in New York City.
According to Yibada, Wood had put a joke in order to make his role possible in “Fast and Furious.” He simply said that there must be a “viral campaign to convince Diesel.”
“He’s a big personality and I think what’s interesting about him was getting to know sort of the fantasy nerd side of him. He grew up reading fantasy novels, so that was cool,” Wood told the publication about Diesel.
Having worked with the 48-year-old Diesel in “The Last Witch Hunter,” Wood discovered that both have something in common. According to him, he is also fond of fantasy like Diesel. He further elaborated saying “It was fun, wild, hard to contextualize.”
There is no doubt that “Furious 7” has achieved a billion dollar success and this record paves the way for “Fast and Furious 8.” However, the making of “Fast and Furious 8” isn’t announced, but Universal revealed its future plan to release a trilogy that would finally close the franchise.

Video:Uhuru,Mudavadi and Raila Come Together In Unity After Mall Attack
Leaders from different political divides came together in a show of unity and togetherness as a nation during the looming crisis at the Westgate mall in Nairobi.
President Uhuru kenyatta held a News Conference on Sunday afternoon where leaders from different political divides came together as they chated the way forward in the Westgate attack that has so far claimed 59 lives and injured more than 175 others.
Among the leaders present at the press briefing were Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Evans Kidero.
The President urged Kenyans to keep all the affected people in their thoughts and prayers and lend a helping hand to them.
“No one should lose their life so needlessly, so senselessly, and no family should have to receive news that their loved one has been killed by a criminal bunch of cowards. said President Kenyatta who lost his nephew and his fiancee in the Saturday afrenoon attack.
The President said that as a leader and Kenyan, he felt the pain of every life lost and shared with the nation’s grief.
“Take heart that you are not alone as you bear your hurt; we are praying for your quick recovery,” he said.
More than 1,000 people have since been rescued from the Mall.
The President said that there are still 10 to 15 armed terrorists inside the building as well as many unarmed, badly shaken, innocent civilians.
He said there were also reports of women as well as male attackers in the mall.
The President noted that the Al-Shabaab terror group had claimed responsibility for the cowardly act of terror on social media but he however said that investigations are underway to conclusively establish those responsible for full accountability.
“They shall not get away with their despicable, beastly acts. Like the cowardly perpetrators now cornered in the building, we will punish the masterminds swiftly and painfully.” said the Head of State.
President Kenyatta called on all Kenyans to stand courageously and united.

Don’t change effective gun laws
In response to “Debate spirited on concealed gun bill” (June 2):
The General Assembly may eliminate our state’s successful concealed carry weapons permitting system. The system requires eight hours of classroom and live fire training. Without these classes, the public cannot be certain that a gun owner is knowledgeable of the laws on carrying a hidden loaded weapon in public.
Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia mandate range time as part of their permitting process. A 2015 study from Mount St. Mary’s University shows that this training helps assure the safe handling of a firearm: “Those participants with less training and experience lack a realistic sense of what can and should be done in these stressful scenarios.”
Let’s not risk public safety. Leave concealed carry statutes alone.
Richard J. Osborne,
Charlotte crime is out of control
In response to “Man arrested in assault on couple near Charlotte Convention Center” (June 2):
I’m deeply distressed by Friday’s front page story relating to the horrendous crime perpetrated on a couple visiting Charlotte. This crime would appear to be carried out by a 19-year-old individual with a significant criminal record who obviously should not have been allowed out of incarceration.
It is all too apparent that unless the Charlotte government and police department start taking the crime problem seriously, we are fast evolving into another failed city run by Democrats, like Baltimore, Chicago, Ferguson, San Francisco, Detroit, New York and others. This would be a tragedy.
Ray Hargreaves, Marvin
How could Charlotte rebrand?
In response to "“Not No. 2 banking city anymore? Time to rebrand...” (June 1):
Charlotte does need a new brand. The city should hold a contest to name it, much like the contest for an official city song.
Allow me to submit a few: “Charlotte: The Murder Capital of NC” or “Charlotte: Where Sports Venues Are More Important Than Teachers.”
Kenan Sneed, Charlotte
Government should help the poor
In response to “Trump's budget doesn't go far enough” (June 2 Forum):
I am sure Mr. Dockery is right that Jesus did not say it was the job of government to take care of the poor. However, the Preamble to our Constitution is clear that it is the federal government’s job. The Preamble lists six objectives for the Constitution. No party or religious denomination gets to cherry pick which benefits of our democracy will be extended to whom. “Promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” are on an equal footing with “providing for a common defense.” So, yes, providing for health, education, and caring for those in need is the government’s job.
Where’s the D-Day recognition?
I was disappointed to note the only mention of D-Day (June 6, 1944) in your June 6 edition was in the Peanuts strip on your comics page. This was an important day in our history and one in which there were many American casualties. It would have been nice if there was a mention on your front page instead of headlines about tweets and sports injuries. Those who perished that day and their families should be thanked for the ultimate sacrifice.
Barb Scott, Mooresville
Kathy Griffin, take responsibility
Kathy Griffin’s new strategy to blame Donald Trump (and his family) for her problems after her PR blunder is the equivalent of an idiot dousing himself with gasoline, standing next to a fire and then blaming the fire for the injuries he sustained. She’s got no one to blame but herself.
James Todd, Charlotte
Bloomberg, don’t encourage him!
In response to “Bloomberg to help pay U.N. climate costs” (June 4):
Michael Bloomberg’s charity pledge of $15 million to the U.N. to replace the U.S. share sends exactly the wrong message to Washington. Whether it’s climate, food stamps, or education the rationalization to cut funding claims private charities will step up to cover the shortfall.
This is a debt that all of us owe and the best way to show our respect for the global community is to gladly give our half-cent each.
William C. Barnes,

If you were to ever speak with someone who has do not ever heard of antioxidants, they would more than likely tell you they are a new advent. This could not be farther from the truth. Anti-oxidants have been about since the beginning of time. In fact , they are needed by almost all living things to protect them from ravages of free radicals. We are surrounded by free radicals and our bodies are often infected by them without any protection from all of us. Free foncier can cause damage to our bodily organs and the cells, nonetheless there is no method for the body to fight these people alone.
So , precisely what are the benefits of antioxidants? In a world where so many of us will be deficient in nutrients, we all need to make sure i’m getting enough of them. The cells may use the antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, and also other foods to combat the effects of free foncier. In lots of ways, we all will need antioxidants these days. As your diet become more mixed, we are getting nutritional advantages of antioxidants from your foods.
Another one of the great benefits of anti-oxidants is that they personal care can improve your immune system. As soon as your immune system is working well, you are much less likely to get sick, and you are more likely to stay healthy for a for a longer time period of time. Anti-oxidants can do that very effectively. They boost the body’s capability to fight off infections and illness, making it simpler for us to remain healthy.

UFC News: UFC gets clearance, announces debut in Melbourne
With the state of Victoria in Australia officially legalizing MMA fights within an enclosed surface, the UFC announced that UFC 193, held on 11/14 in prime time in the U.S. (11/15 afternoon local time) would be its debut in Melbounre, Australia.
No location was announced for the event.
MMA events had been held regularly in Victoria, but could only be held within a regulation boxing ring. The change was expected because there was a political party change, and the new party favored overturning the regulations and putting different people in charge of sports regulations.

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon didn't hold back when discussing childbirth on today's edition of the ITV daytime show.
Christine Lampard was in the anchor's seat this afternoon alongside Stacey, Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore.
The Loose ladies welcomed Eastenders actress Lacey Turner onto the show today to discuss her journey to become a mum, life with her seven-month old daughter Dusty, and her time working on the BBC One soap.
As well as talking about Lacey's role as feisty Stacey Slater, the ladies discussed the ABC's decision to reject an advert to be played during the Oscars from Frida Mom that shows what postpartum can be like for new mothers.
Mum of three Stacey, 30, confessed that she thought it was disgusting that the advert was deemed to have "too much nudity" for the pre-watershed slot.

A section of the advert was played on Loose Women before the panel discussed the contents.
The former X Factor star said: "The advert shows a virginal birth and the aftermath.
"Later on the women can be seen crawling to the toilet as if everything is going to fall out of their vagina."
Stacey, who has watched the whole advert, continued: "The only thing the advert didn't show was the first poo post-birth.
"It's the most scariest ever. I feel like my entire insides were going to fall out."

Getting involved in the debate, new mum Lacey, 31, added: "No one tells you how hard it is to go to the toilet after giving birth.
"I had cramps that I didn't know existed."
"The advert made me emotional. I can't believe they couldn't show it."
Lacey opened up to the loose ladies about being unable to celebrate her pregnancy with Dusty until she was 25 weeks.
"After my two previous miscarriages I just couldn't fully enjoy until I was around 25 weeks.
"I ignored it until I was 14 weeks and I had a scan every week. I was scared."

Amongst other things, I had visions of floating silverware and quirky color schemes set on an individualized template. I wasn’t really patient when I was told that what I wanted was impossible unless I manipulated a bunch of codes that looked like a different language to me. Luis, thank you for creating the codes to make all my blog format dreams come true, while my biggest task was writing posts and making lentil hair for my glutton girl, which BTW was not as easy as one might assume. In other words, thanks for doing all the hard work while I played with my food. I appreciate you!

the last months of the war a girl escapes a concentration camp in Greece.
She doesn't know what had happened nor who she is. She is just trying to
escape. She stays alive by stealing. Through Turkey she arrives with a
group fugitives at the Persian border. In a camp there she helps an old man
called Lob when he is being robbed. She scares off the attackers with a self made knife. He

USA grapplers take part in Mayville tournament
Published 7:00 pm, Tuesday, December 27, 2005
MAYVILLE Unionville-Sebewaing Area was among 12 wrestling teams participating at the Mayville Team Tournament on Tuesday. As a team, the Patriots finished ninth, but had some fine individual performances.
At 135 pounds, Merrill Martinez stayed unbeaten on the season, compiling a 5-0 record en route to placing first while improving his overall season mark to 19-0.

Katherine: trump keeps telling us that his campaign had no ties to Russia, so why doesn't he just answer any and all questions and they'll find nothing and they'll be done with it and life can go on... on the other hand, if there is some sort of collusion, then he best stall, deny, lie, tweet and obstruct... oh, that is what he is doing!.. fancy that!..

Considering his campaign and his identity run on a fuel of winning, it would not be a surprise if this downward trend continued.
A recent USA Today/Rock the Vote poll has Hillary Clinton ahead of Donald Trump by a staggering 36 points among voters under 35. Donald Trump clocks in at only 20 percent with that group, whereas Hillary is getting 56 percent.
The percentage of Millennials who were likely to vote in November while Bernie Sanders was running dropped since he bowed out, but in general, Sanders supporters have begun to rally around Hillary, with approximately 72 percent of his supporters now saying they'll vote for Hillary. Eleven percent support Trump, and another 11 percent are not sure whether they'll vote or not.
Losing, big or small, is Kryptonite to Donald Trump. For proof, look no further than his hair swirl.
Trump's devotion to not losing his hair is, at this point, akin to a man worshipping a piece of religious iconography believed to have magical “I AM NO LONGER BALDING” properties.
But in spite of his efforts to not lose, Trump is losing Millennials. One of the big takeaways from the poll is how badly the RNC hurt Trump among them.
According to USA Today, a majority of Millennials (a staggering 2-to-1 ratio) said the event made Trump seem less human and accessible, while at least 50 percent said it made him seem less presidential, less credible and less trustworthy.
Lastly, the poll found the number one reason Millennial voters give for supporting Hillary is she has the experience to lead, whereas the number one reason Millennial Trump supporters give for supporting him is to keep Hillary out of office.
It's true a lot of Trump's base is comprised of middle-aged white men, a constituency that, of course, is not to be underestimated -- they have, after all, pretty much run this country -- and many others -- for the past infinity years.
But, the white, male stranglehold on politics, especially in presidential elections, faltered in the last decade, and Donald Trump's campaign will need the votes of the younger generation, women and other races, to have a chance against Hillary in November.

Sometimes I hear people getting annoyed about “entry-level” librarian job postings that ask for experience.
And I get it. Entry-level jobs are by definition jobs that don’t require experience.
But here’s the thing, librarian positions just aren’t entry-level. The niche of the librarian in the library shouldn’t be filled by a greenie who’s done nothing but go to school. School can teach some of the skills you need to be a librarian, but not all of them.
I am a non-supervising librarian in a public library. Nevertheless, I get asked for direction all the time. When other staff have questions, they often ask me. Sometimes these are fairly simple librarian problems, for example a spine label that is a little strange. But frequently they bring me customer service judgement calls, such as “I think I saw a patron with a big bag of weed, what should we do?” or “Can I make an exception and let this guy into the library with his bike?” These kinds of questions require not just library schooling, but experience.
Experience builds common sense, street smarts, and the confidence that’s required to authoritatively answer these kinds of things. Library school provides a theoretical foundation, an underlying direction behind decisions. But it doesn’t help you look a patron in the eye and say, “You do know we don’t allow snacking in the library, right?”
The traditional structure of libraries, rightly or wrongly, gives rank and authority to librarians. It has put me in a position where I have more authority than a library assistant who’s got over a decade of experience. It means that if there’s an incident when I close, I stay behind to talk to the police. It means when the men’s toilet overflows on a Sunday, I get to decide if we lock up the whole bathroom.
You need to have experience to make these decisions. Without it, you can’t properly assess the potential fallout, or the far ranging effects. Without experience, you won’t know when to say “I’m right about this” and when to ask for advice from that library assistant who’s been here for over a decade, or the page, or the security guard. Librarians must have both a solid foundation in customer service, and working knowledge of library dynamics.
This particular combination of self-confidence and on-the-ground understanding is only built through hands-on practice.
It’s not a bad thing that there are no entry-level librarian positions. It’s good. It means that we’re getting librarians with the skills needed to do their jobs properly. It means we’re getting librarians who can make better libraries, for customers and for staff.
*This is all from my public librarian perspective of course. For all I know, there are tons of entry-level academic jobs. All academic librarians do is put their feet up and read journal articles, right?

KOREAN International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has donated two vehicles to the Ministry of Forestry.
The donation was made under a project called Establishment of Action for Forest Resource Management of Solomon Islands.
Won Pil Lee,KOICA’s project supporter officer, said this is the first time for his organisation to assist the ministry with the two Hyundai brand vehicles.
KOICA is the aid development agency of the Korean Government.
Mr Lee said the purpose of the project is to improve the capability of forest resources management in the recipient country by deploying forestry expert, hosting series of workshops, offering invitational training programme, and providing necessary equipment and web-page.
He said these two vehicles were part of the support.
The vehicles will be used by the ministry’s Re-forestation section, the division supporting tree growers across the country.
Richard Raomae, deputy director of Reforestation Development, said the vehicles will help improve the extension of reforestation programmes in the country.
“They will help our division in terms of mobility, reliability and boost our operations,” Mr Raomae said.
He said they will continue to work along with the KOICA project to further develop forestry resources management program in the country.
The project will complete on 23 June next year.
KOICA aims to promote international cooperation by contributing to the economic and social development of developing countries through grants aid and technical cooperation.
Solomon Islands is one of the countries under its development programmes.

Directions See How It's Made
- First, cut the keilbasa into 1/2 inch thick medalions.
- Heat a medium sized skillet to medium to medium high heat and melt enough butter to just cover the bottom.
- Add the keilbasa and garlic.
- Once the keilbasa starts to brown on one side, add enough beer to just cover the bottom.
- Turn the keilbasa and cook on the other side.
- Now it becomes a matter of personal taste and trial and error.
- I keep adding beer and garlic to taste, the thing you are really looking for is for the beer/butter/garic to caramalize.
- When done, transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the cheese.
- Drink the rest of the beer with your meal.


The objective of the Operation NEXT Program is to diversify the City’s water supply portfolio by developing and maximizing Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant’s effluent as a sustainable local water supply which will mitigate future risks due to climate change.
What Is Operation NEXT?
Operation NEXT is a new water supply initiative being developed by LADWP in partnership with LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN)’s Hyperion 2035 Program that aims to increase the overall water supply resiliency and reliability for Los Angeles. Through Hyperion 2035, LASAN plans to retrofit and modernize the existing secondary treatment process at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant to include membrane bioreactor technology. Secondary effluent from Hyperion will then undergo more treatment at the Advanced Water Purification Facility as part of the Operation NEXT Program. Learn more
The Operation NEXT Program will further treat and convey the purified recycled to replenish the city’s groundwater basins via an Indirect Potable Reuse strategy. Additionally, new regulations have recently been released that allow for further treatment of this new source to integrate the purified recycled water with the drinking water system. The process, known as Direct Potable Reuse, would further expand the use of purified recycled water from Hyperion as a new supplemental water source.
The proposed schedule reflects a conceptual level estimate and is subject to change based on resources and funding limitations. Operation NEXT is currently in the Conceptual Planning Phase.
*PEIR: Preliminary Environmental Information Report *MWD: Metropolitan Water District *PWSC: Pure Water Southern California Program
LADWP is developing an “Operation NEXT Master Plan” scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
LADWP and LASAN are preparing a Programmatic EIR for Operation NEXT, including Hyperion 2035, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.
LADWP and WRD completed the “Joint Los Angeles Basin Replenishment and Extraction Master Plan” to evaluate the best groundwater locations for injecting and extracting Hyperion purified recycled water. The findings from this study will feed into the development of the Operation NEXT Master Plan efforts currently underway.
LADWP, LASAN, and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) are collaborating on the Hyperion Advanced Water Purification Facility, a 1.5 MGD project that will provide advanced-treated recycled water to nearby Los Angeles International Airport for heating, cooling, and toilet flushing as well as for other onsite non-potable reuse applications at Hyperion.
Please visit the Operation NEXT CEQA website for documents and updates related to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance.
LADWP is engaged in development of a robust stakeholder communication and outreach plan. Since early 2019, LADWP has worked with partner agencies, community groups, elected officials, environmental leaders, Neighborhood Councils, and other stakeholders on creating a high level of collaboration and cooperation for Operation NEXT. Two key outreach components include the development of the Programmatic Environmental Impact Report and the development of the Operation NEXT Master Plan.
Environmental related outreach has been ongoing since early 2021 and will continue throughout the Program. The Operation NEXT Master Plan development started in 2021 and is estimated for completion by the end of 2024, with support and feedback from community stakeholders and technical advisors.


Tower Housing in Plaça Europa
The project is in the field of Plaça Europa, at Hospitalet de Llobregat. It is a 14-story housing, with retail spaces on the ground floor, and parking in the basement. There exist two simple-dwelling standard floors, where there are 2, 3 and 4-bedroom housing, placed around a central core of vertical communications. Dwellings are placed in a way that the form a swastika, with the living and dining spaces on the edges of the tower, to guarantee the double orientation. This fact permits to locate the terraces in different façades, creating different tribunes that will change their position depending on the floor where they are. Humid zones and equipments courts form an inner ring around the central core.


Watch out on budget day for how creative Treasury assumptions are on inflation.
Africa needs to navigate the difficult economic waters that lie ahead without undoing the gains of the past two decades. Success will require difficult political choices.
RBA Governor Glenn Stevens isn't buying the secular stagnation theory, lending weight to the deficit hawks.
Expect the higher dollar to put strong downward pressure on already low interest rates.
Once again the US-AUD exchange rate has monetary policymakers worried.
Negative interest rates are not the weapon some central bankers had hoped they would be.
Both the US and Australia face a global economy that is in deep, deep trouble.
Scrapping €500 notes would inconvenience money launderers; it would also help the European Central Bank to make interest rates more negative.
This week: the Australian economy exceeds expectations, while China continues to worry. RBA Governor Glenn Stevens has reason to smile, Janet Yellen less so.
There is more uncertainty in financial markets, an improving labour market in Australia (despite a monthly blip in January) and the US, but no sign of much growth.
Low inflation gives the RBA scope to cut rates in coming months but a lot will turn on whether we continue to see persistently weak GDP growth.
The global sharemarket volatility will weigh on Reserve Bank board members as they consider interest rates.
The reporting of "higher than expected" inflation seemed a bit overblown.
Future taxpayers were the big losers of the trillion-dollar budget deal, who will have to shoulder the burden of higher interest payments.
Our scholars delivered a steady supply of research and analysis on what was a busy year in business and economics.
Just as football coaches reconsidered when to opt for a two-point conversion after the NFL made a change, the Fed adjusts its decisions in line with an evolving economy.
The Fed lifted its target interest rate for the first time in nearly a decade, which was hardly a surprise. What happens next may still stump us.
How today's policy around savings and pensions has worrying echoes of failed 19th century approaches.
Evidence suggests the global neutral interest rate may settle at below 1%, penalising savers and rewarding risk takers.
Monetary policy since the financial crisis has flooded the market with cheap capital. A rate rise will reverse this and put developing economies at risk.

The group – which also features Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh – split in 2013, just a year after they reunited for their ten year anniversary.
Sarah is 35 years old and was born on 17 November 1981 in Ascot, Berkshire.
As well as being known for her life on stage, Sarah has hit headlines on numerous occasions thanks to her troubled personal life.
In 2011 the star entered a rehab facility for depression, alcohol addiction and prescription drug abuse.
She was previously engaged to DJ Tom Crane but is currently believed to be single.
Previous boyfriends include music producer Mark Foster, Theo Van Dries and Danny Dyer – who The Sun recently revealed she had a six-week affair with.
After getting drunk in Week Two of CBB, Sarah and Chad Johnson and later that week the pair were seen kissing in bed.
This all happened despite Sarah having a boyfriend outside the house when she first entered the show.
The Sun revealed him to be Aaron Lacey - a plasterer from High Wycombe.
