DISTRICT councillors have thrown party politics aside and united under a single banner in opposition to Arun’s decision to axe support to town and parish councils.
Last month, Arun cabinet members took sweeping action to slash support for local councils in an effort to save the authority money.
By 2015/16, Littlehampton Town Council is set to lose all its £147,000, while neighbouring Rustington Parish Council will have its £48,000 backing axed.
Arundel Town Council will lose around £12,000, while £13,000 will be cut from East Preston Parish Council and £4,800 from Yapton Parish Council.
But this week, Arun’s decision has been formally challenged by Lib-Dem councillor Dr James Walsh.
He has been backed by a cross-party group of councillors to call in the decision, to be scrutinised by a committee on October 26 at the Civic Centre, in Maltravers Road, Littlehampton.
Cllr Dr Walsh said: “The reasons for the call-in are quite simple.
“In effect, Arun is stealing money due to parish and town councils to stuff into its already massive reserves of £32m.
“No consultation took place with any of the affected councils or, indeed, any local councillors outside Arun’s cabinet.
“The money is given by central government to district councils to pass on to parishes and towns to help offset the effect of other reductions in funding.”
The local government minister had stated the money should be passed on, said Beach Ward representative Dr Walsh, but was being ignored by Arun.
“The effect will be to either force up parish and town council taxes and/or force them to cut the services they provide – such as grass-cutting, toilets, free car parking and bus shelters,” he said.
“It is also unacceptable this decision was made by seven cabinet members and not by the full council of Arun.”
Nigel Lynn, Arun’s chief executive, said the decision to cut the cash was ‘regrettable’ but one that had to be made, taking into account the current economic climate and the impact of the Government’s austerity programme.
In a statement after the cabinet meeting, Mr Lynn said: “This is regrettable, but due to cuts from central government we were left with no choice. We have been more generous than many neighbouring councils, which have already slashed their funding to partner councils.”
He added the council could not ‘pretend everything is rosy’ and that these decisions would, ultimately, put Arun in a stronger position, financially.

How to Motivate Your Child to Practice
Research shows that regularly playing an instrument can increase IQ by seven points in both children and adults and that those who study music score an average of 20 percent higher on standardized tests, but parents face plenty of challenges when it comes to handling their child’s introduction to music. From enrolling them in the best music lessons to finding the perfect instrument, no task is quite as daunting as convincing their child to practice. We all know consistent and smart practice is essential to growing as a musician, and studies show a strong relationship between practice and musical achievement, but what happens if your child hates the idea? You’re not alone- it’s a very common issue, and it can be overcome. If you’re wondering how to motivate your child to practice, here are a few different things to consider.
Make Practice Time More Productive
A great way to improve your child’s practice time is to ensure that the time they do spend practicing is as productive as possible. Making practice time productive is difficult, so you shouldn’t expect your child to master it overnight. Rather, work with them (and their instructor) to create and use a practice cycle. The National Association for Music Education has an entire article about practice cycles on their website, but in short, it includes making a baseline recording, writing S.M.A.R.T goals, selecting a goal, practicing using pre-selected practice strategies, creating a final recording, and writing a reflection.
Did you know that even passively listening to music can stimulate firing patterns within the brain that are similar to those related to higher-order cognitive functions? It’s true! If you have the opportunity to see your child’s instrument of choice being played in a professional setting, jump at the opportunity. Nothing will be quite as motivational for your child as seeing his or her instrument being played by a professional in front of a supportive and interested audience. Whether it’s an acoustic guitar performance at a local coffee shop or an elaborate performance by an orchestra or ensemble, seeing other people clap and applaud for someone playing their instrument may influence them to practice theirs a little more often. And since it’s been said that 10,000 hours of practice makes perfect, the more often you can convince your child to practice the better!
Give Them an Audience
As long as your child isn’t extremely shy, they’ll likely enjoy playing their instruments in front of friends and family. If you’re a single parent or don’t live near a lot of family, you can be their audience. Just ask them to perform a new song for you once a week, and keep it consistent. Whether it’s a Monday evening mini-recital or a Saturday afternoon jam session, they’ll look forward to impressing you with what they’ve learned each week. And, as an added bonus, you’ll enjoy the special time the two of you spend bonding over music week after week.
Make It Routine
As with the point above, consistency is key when it comes to setting a practice schedule. Set aside time each day, or every other day, for practicing. Ideally, their practice routine would occur before the “fun” stuff- if you let your child use the computer or watch TV before practicing, it’ll be harder for them to sit down and concentrate than it would be if they started practicing right after school. Set the practice routine at a time that works for the both of you- if your child is a morning person, have them serenade you over breakfast. If their creativity flows at night, encourage them to practice while you enjoy dessert.
Focus on the Music
If you’re having a difficult time convincing your child to practice, the problem might lie in the music. Buy anthologies of sheet music that your child can browse through until they find something that stands out to them. If your child enjoys listening to classic rock with you, purchase them a book of Beatles songs. If your child has a book of Mozart pieces for the piano, sit down with your child and read his biography. Sometimes children just need to feel a connection to the music before they can become fully invested in learning how to play.
Find a Good Teacher
The very best teachers leave their ego at the door, and won’t be offended if you decide to try out a different teacher. In fact, some of the best teachers would encourage it. Sometimes your child just needs to connect with a different personality or teaching style in order to fully enjoy playing their instrument. Fortunately, Music & Arts is a premier private music lesson facility- with lessons customized by hand-selected by a wide selection of highly qualified instructors. Learn more about enrolling your child in private music lessons through Music & Arts.
Praise the Effort
There’s a lot of research that supports the idea that praising the effort your child makes is more effective than simply focusing on the end result. Praising the effort and rewarding the attempts is more stimulating to your child than only paying attention to them at recitals or performances. If you focus too much on the end result, your child may become resistant to practicing out of fear that they won’t be able to repeat a good recital performance. To further encourage practicing, casually speak with your child throughout the week about how beneficial practicing is and how even the best musicians in the world got to where they are through practice and dedication.
Practice is Good for the Brain
Not only does practice make perfect (well, 10,00 hours of it at least!), but music training can actually structurally alter the human brain, for the better! These changes can correlate to improvements in motor and auditory skills, and you’ve probably heard that learning music can improve your child’s test scores, too. Don’t believe us? Check out this neuroscience study that shows a direct link between music practice and the development of working memory during adolescence and childhood. Forget trying to get your child to eat kale, maybe all you need to focus on is getting them to practice!
If you’re trying to convince an older child to practice, just tell them their memory will improve! In one study, those with the greatest amount of musical experience did the best on tests of mental acuity, followed by those with less musical study followed by those who never took music lessons. Proof that music really DOES make you smarter!
Now that you know how to motive your child to practice, brushing up on other tips won’t hurt. Here are seven practice tips to check out from our friends at the National Association for Music Education.

In May, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, Ajit Pai, proposed a set of reforms that include rolling back the US’s strong net neutrality provisions. Net neutrality is important because it means all the data packets that travel through the internet infrastructure are treated equally. It doesn’t matter if those data packets are part of an email message, a movie, or a political website. This protects freedom of speech online, helps entrepreneurs and enhances democracy.
If the FCC chooses to go ahead with its plans, it would grant large cable companies immense control over what we see and do online. A reversal of the net neutrality rules in place could render the FCC powerless to stop providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from blocking or throttling websites, and imposing extra fees.
The FCC is consulting with all Americans on its proposed changes and we urge you to join the Battle for the Net on July 12th! Let’s tell the FCC we want them to keep their strong net neutrality rules in place!
In our pursuit of digital equality, we stand strongly in favour of net neutrality and everyone’s right to an open web. That’s why we’re taking a stand alongside companies and NGOs including Amazon, Reddit, Etsy, AccessNow, Public Knowledge and many others on July 12th for a Day of Action on Net Neutrality.
Our message on July 12th will be clear: net neutrality rules must stay! Together we can make sure that all of the people get access to all of the Internet, all of the time.
Want to send a message to the FCC directly? Check out the dearfcc.org portal too!

Blanche Copenhaver was involved in the Women's Protective Union in one role or another for 40 years. As a union member and working waitress, she moved up the ranks of the WPU to become one of its key leaders in the 1950s.
Born in Wyoming, Copenhaver and her sister worked in restaurants from Wyoming to Texas during the Depression before arriving in Butte. Underpaid and overworked, Copenhaver welcomed her first exposure to working in a unionized work environment.
Finally, at the age of 37, Copenhaver found a place where women's work was respected. She snagged a waitressing job in one of Meaderville’s, high end Italian restaurants. Relieved of endless overtime, she started attending union meetings.
“I thought everyone should have a union, because I’d been exploited all those years,” Copenhaver said.
By 1944, she was appointed to the union's executive board, the first of many positions she would hold.
As picket captain during the union’s one and only strike in 1949, Copenhaver organized the membership to create a presence on the streets. This included a 24-hour picket in front of Butte's largest hotel, the Finlen.
“The members had to picket,” Copenhaver said. “We had a picket list that had hours, it had charts, the days - they were all assigned. If they didn’t picket, we could fine them. But no one was asked to picket over once a week or over two hours a day. We kept a 24-hour picket line on the Finlen.”
While the effort was serious for everyone, it also lead to one of the more memorable events of Copenhaver’s life. While walking the picket line herself, she saw an idol. “This gentleman and his entourage get out of the car and start across the street, and I heard him say, ‘My god it’s a woman’s picket line! We’re not staying there!’” It was Bing Crosby.
Copenhaver became president of the WPU in 1950 and served in that capacity for 20 years. Membership grew. The union supported other unions on strike and gave money to striking miners.
Copenhaver became involved in the WPU's leadership during its heyday in the 1950s, but then witnessed its decline after the fight was won. Despite this, she became the first female vice president of the Montana AFL-CIO in 1978.
Married for a few years in the early forties and then divorced, Copenhaver never had children of her own. She readily admitted that instead the WPU was a big part of her life. She was as devoted to it as she felt it was to her. In retirement, her reputation as a strong, knowledgeable leader led to several state-appointed positions for the governor’s office. Copenhaver died at the age of 94.

Egyptian God Tutu: Study of the Sphinx-God (New)
by Kaper, Olaf E
Publisher: Peeters Publishers
Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket
Book ID: 9789042912175, 9042912170
Please inquire for availability
Tutu (Tithoes) was a popular god in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods of Egyptian history, with his origins in the earlier Egyptian religious tradition. The god provided protection against demons, and his appearance as a striding sphinx was often combined with symbols of his power and visual references to demons and other divinities. The god Tutu demonstrates the continuing vitality of the pharaonic religion under the pressure of foreign cultures and ideas. This monograph provides the first comprehensive study of the god Tutu. It is based upon a collection of attestations, largely unpublished, which derive from monuments in various parts of Egypt and from museum collections all over the world. Moreover, the results of recent archaeological field work in Shenhur and in the temple of Tutu in the Dakhla Oasis have been included in full. The catalogue of monuments is accompanied by an analysis of the god Tutu, his iconography and his place in the Egyptian religion.

In the arbitration proceedings, any dispute that arises between the parties is referred to a neutral third party (“arbitrator”) mutually appointed by both parties. The arbitrator hears both parties and decides the case on the merits. The arbitrator`s decision is final and binding on both parties. In most cases, the buyer will talk in advance about their interest in the bike. When they decide to buy, a local exchange usually opens and a price can be traded. If an oral agreement is reached, the terms of the transaction can be concluded through the sale of motorcycles. After the exchange of goods, it is time to conclude the sales contract. .

More than 100 people gathered in the Gasyard Centre on Monday night to call on the health minister to put funding in place to staff the radiotherapy centre at Altnagelvin when it is built.
The meeting was organised by Foyle Sinn Féin MLA Martina Anderson and among those in attendance were members of cancer support groups from Derry, Donegal, and Tyrone.
Donegal Sinn Féin councillor Padráig MacLochlainn addressed the meeting together with Ms Anderson and the proceedings were chaired by former mayor of Derry, Councillor Paul Fleming.
SDLP councillors Mark H Durkan and Anne Donnelly also attended the event.
Ms Anderson said Michael McGimpsey’s remarks that there may not be enough money to staff the satellite radiotherapy centre when it is built caused considerable anger throughout the north west and called for the Minister’s resignation.
“I have been appalled by the way the minister has played politics with this issue. I think he should hang his head in shame,” she said.
The Foyle MLA questioned the minister’s figures and told the meeting that she believes there is money in the budget to staff and equip the facility. “I interrogated his budget and found that £11.5 million is spent on bonuses for consultants, of course the minister calls them clinical excellence awards. The cost for running the cancer unit is £7.5 million. We have identified where the fat is in the system and the money is there,” she said.
Colr. MacLochlainn said he believes the cancer centre will be funded but called for a united campaign by political parties and cancer support groups from both sides of the border.
“The word scandal does not do it justice. We have been utterly shafted as a region for too long.
“What we need to do now is get together, all the support groups and all the political parties and when we do we can deliver on this. I am 100 per cent certain about that,” he said.

It’s no secret that India has been a metal manufacturing center for many years. Most people assume that when production shifted to China from the United States to gain a cost competitive advantage years ago, it would stay there. As the cost to manufacture increases in China, India is increasing its global market share of metals manufacturing.
Gravity Casting and Forging are two metal manufacturing processes on which factories in India can provide extremely competitive pricing and outstanding quality. A secondary process such as machining and plating can add value without much additional cost. What’s the difference between these two processes?
- Gravity Casting, the process of pouring liquid or molten metal in a mold made of sand or a steel die, typically produces bigger, thicker, and heavier products and components. Products like escalator treads, wheels, or automobile struts are examples of products that can be gravity cast. The tooling investment is cheaper (than investment or high pressure die casting) with gravity casting and the products are typically less complex (note I did not say, ‘simple’).
- Forged products (solid steel billets or ingots heated then reshaped under sheer force) are strong and durable. Examples include Flywheels, fasteners, bearings, and power train components. Products that can often withstand high temperatures and operating force for long periods of time.
Factories in India often excel at CNC machining to incredibly tight tolerances. Their advanced inspection techniques include CMM as quality is a very important professional and cultural standard to achieve.
- CNC (Computer Numeric Control): Automatic machine that mills, drills, saws, cuts, lathes and shapes a semi-finished product into a finished product or component. The machine is programmed with a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file with all final detail specifications of what the product will be upon completion. This post processing is highly automated and produces high tolerance finished goods.
- CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine): Device that measures the geographic characteristics of a product or component. The machine measures the product against the design to note any variance in the finished product and also notes where the deviation in the spec has occurred on the finished component.
Whether your product requires forged or gravity cast manufactured components, if you are looking for better quality, cost savings or simply the diversification of your current supply chain, India might be the answer.

Nestlé marketing boss David Morgan says marketers can't do their jobs properly because they've become bogged down in "process management", coordinating an ever-increasing number of agency relationships. As a result, many have been unable to address the "transformational change" seen over the last five years.
Speaking at the ADMA Global Forum on Friday, Morgan highlighted mobile connectivity, emerging technologies and generational change as three key areas that “worried” him about the future of marketing. Many of these developments – smartphones, tablets and so on – were "predicted 50 years ago" by Star Trek, and yet "marketers haven't done much with this sort of stuff for the last two years".
Morgan said mobile connectivity was something marketers were "observing but not understanding". "We're very good at observing and recording this stuff, but what's the purpose? Are we using that data in a purposeful way? There's too much time spent literally watching," he said.
He pointed to 3D printing as an emerging technology that would "fundamentally change manufacturing", not in the future but "within two or three years", and on the issue of generational change, Morgan said Gen Zs "bamboozled" him. “They have fundamentally different values. They're not passionate about brands, they're non-commercial. How do you harness them?”
Morgan said the last five years had been “transformational” and we haven't stayed on top. “Why are we not on top of stuff? Why are we not leveraging data in a purposeful way? Why are we not on top of technology in a better way? Because too much of our marketing talent is getting stuck in the middle doing operational stuff that's been lumped on them, rather than actually doing what they're very, very talented at doing.
"We're getting stuck in the middle, stuck in operations, stuck in process management. We're spending so much time doing things that are not core to our trade of marketing, that it's taken up our ability to do our trade of marketing."
Morgan said back when he was a brand manager, he "only had one guy to call – it was a Monday morning call – and he could get everything done for you". "It was one agency, one brand, one communications channel. Today, our guys are managing eight, nine, 10 different agency groups – digital groups, media groups, creative groups, strategy groups. It takes up a lot of time to talk to them, coordinate them, project manage them.
"The Nielsen people, everyone in the room at the Nielsen conference was saying, 'How can we as a research company get much more involved and help understand your business and partner with you?' Guys, it takes up our time when you do that, when you partner with us. Do it for us, tell us what you do – don't expect us to do it with you."
Morgan said it was time to re-think the nature of agency relationships. “The old brand management model invented in the 1950s by Procter & Gamble is now 60 years old. The nature of our relationships with our agencies is 50 or 60 years old. The tools we're using are old. We're a progressive industry, we're a forward-thinking industry, we should be on the cutting edge, but actually some of our relationships and approaches are very out-of-date. I think it's time to ask, how do you put together a different federation to help us move forward?”

Time Warner Cable is shifting its charitable focus to kids and technology.
The company has launched Connect a Million Minds (CAMM), a new education and awareness initiative designed to help address the country’s continuing decline in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Aimed at inspiring a new generation of problem solvers, the company will support STEM-related organizations and programs throughout its coverage areas.

Much of the autobiography that I have been reading is coincidentally set in the same era and country as a show that I have been binge watching, Mad Men. Binge watching a show is much easier than reading a 900 page book. If I can do an average of 3 pages a day then I can finish the book in less than a year. 5 seasons of Mad Men took me less than a month.
The book that I have been reading is a memoir of a wealthy man in America. I’m contemplating whether I would rather be an unattractive wealthy man or a penniless Don Draper. To walk around all your life as Don Draper is priceless. Everywhere you go and every day, people have their head slightly tilted up admiring your magnificent bone structure on your 6′ tall frame. I would just go out just to be seen and smoke cigarettes just because I look so good doing it. Women would surround me just to inhale my second hand smoke.
Cleverness and one-liners would not be necessary. Well-thought-out tactics to lure women are for the invisible men not handsome devils with a strong jawline. All I’d have to do is say “hi” and smile. She’d giggle like a school girl and forget that she is married.
Sure, money can bring you beautiful women but when a woman is with you primarily for your money she is just a glorified prostitute, and for the right price a prostitute will even go to bed with a man with a face that only a mother could love.
I’m going to miss Don Draper. Hopefully I find a replacement man crush soon.

Newark mayor vetoes restaurant security ordinance
NEWARK, N.J. (WABC) -- In a surprising move, Newark Mayor Cory Booker vetoed a public ordinance calling for armed guards at late-night restaurants.
The plan had been criticized by businesses owners who didn't want to pay for the extra security.
Royal Chicken is one of many places that stays open 24 hours. The restaurant has a bullet-proof window, but that is designed for workers and offers little protection to customers. The legislation was to try and address that issue, but the owners were not on board.
"There's no correlation between crime and take-out restaurants," Texas Fried Chicken and Pizza owner Jamil Nahiam said. "People come in and order and leave. There's no hang outs, no sit-ins."
It seems Booker agrees. The mayor vetoed the controversial City Council measure that would have required some late-night eateries serving 15 people or fewer to hire armed security guards.
"How much are those establishments responsible for crime in general and violent crime in general?" Booker said. "Less than 2 percent of all of our incidents of violent crime."
Cory Booker listened to complaints from business owners, who said armed guards would cost too much.
"There's, to me, more cost effective ways to leverage the kind of safety that they're looking for," he said.
Nahiam owns two small take-out spots, including the late-night chicken and pizza place that was the scene of the May tragedy that inspired the City Council bill. Off-duty Newark police officer William Johnson was waiting for his food when he was killed in a drive-by shooting.
Soon after, Councilman Ras Baraka proposed that smaller restaurants be forced to have armed guards on duty past 9 p.m.. He said those places are magnets for crime.
But the mayor decided the measure was simply too broad and would leave the city vulnerable to lawsuits from business owners. Now, he wants council members to work with police to come up with a new plan.
"The council didn't hold one meeting with law enforcement professionals," Booker said. "They didn't ask for any input."
There is no word on whether the council members plan to try and override the mayor's veto. Baraka did not respond to requests for comment, while West Ward Councilman Ronald Rice, Jr., said he believes the City Council will attempt it. But he admitted it needs some revision to ease the burden on small business owners.
The measure was proposed after a spike in crime and cutbacks to the city's police force.

trudy swanson: the omaha peace project
(the little gallery @ Polecat Communications is hosting this public art project through Aug. 28.)
The origami crane has become an international symbol of peace. It’s based on the Japanese legend and story of Sadako Sasaki, which says that anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish.
The Military Avenue Neighborhood Association has commissioned Omaha artist Trudy Swanson to create a steel crane sculpture that will be installed at the intersection of Military Avenue, Fontenelle Boulevard and Northwest Radial Highway – one of the gateways to North Omaha. It will stand as a permanent visual reminder of a united Omaha’s call for peace.
In conjunction with the development of the sculpture, Swanson invites residents from across Omaha to fold paper cranes and post photos of their work at www.facebook.com/omahapeaceproject.
The cranes can be dropped off at any City of Omaha Community Center, any Omaha police precinct, the Central Fire Station at 1516 Jackson, Criss Library at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the following Omaha Public Library branches through Sept. 30:
- Milton R. Abrahams Branch
- A.V. Sorensen
- Benson Branch
- Florence Branch
- W. Clarke Swanson
- Charles B. Washington
The cranes will then be collected, strung together and displayed at a central location. The project is a partnership of the Omaha Police Department, the Omaha Sister Cities Association, One Omaha, the Benson-Ames Alliance, the Omaha Public Library, the Omaha Box Company and Why Arts? Funding was made possible in part by Mayor Jean Stothert’s 2015 Neighborhood Grants Program.
Fold a crane. Create community. Call for peace.

Wild Hare Studios and Rabbit Hole Arts is the live/work studio I share with my husband, Michael Harmon. A bit about our studio work is shared below but check out the Wild Hare Studios website to see a lot more.
In the 40 years since my first carving, I have taken classes with some of the best woodcarvers the US has to offer. I've won my share of blue ribbons at shows from Denver to Indiana, Chicago to Texas and taught classes on various subjects like hands, faces, St. Nick, Native Americans and even nudes. I've also been featured in a fair number of newspaper and magazine articles. A lot of woodcarvers inevitably specialize or have preferences that lean towards one thing or another. Variety still intrigues me. Most of my work is done with mallet and chisels, or smaller hand tools. Occasionally the need arises for power carving or wood burning. I continue to try different things to stretch my techniques and skills. In the end though, it's all about the journey. Taking that piece of wood, imagining what lies beneath the surface, sharpening the tools and then removing everything that isn’t in that image, that's what keep me carving.
Orders can be placed for Mike's one-of-a-kind hand carved Lovespoons. You can choose from those currently available or request certain elements or designs be incorporated into custom ordered pieces. Spoons range from $65.00 - $105.00 depending on size and detail. Email Mike for more information at firstname.lastname@example.org
More than twenty-five years ago, I was relieved of a condition that resulted in years of suffering with chronic pain and limited mobility. After having tried everything I knew, and finding no relief it was suggested I try Reiki. I had no idea what it was nor had I ever heard of “energy work”. So stunned by the immediate healing I received I began to study everything I could find with regard to energy healing. As a traditional counselor, specialized in the area of addiction recovery, I knew the huge role that spirituality played in that process. Now I was coming to understand the aspect of spiritual energy in a whole new light and much broader way.
Beyond religion, belief systems and programs we each embody and are in fact enlivened by an energetic presence residing in and extending beyond our physical form. This is our spiritual essence. When this energy is out of balance or compromised, injury and illness can occur. Returning it to balance results in healing and well being. It really is this simple. Simple, but not always easy.
Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual balance requires mindfulness; introspection and contemplation. This is why my Reiki practice includes creating and infusing everyday items with this healing energy. In the tradition of “chop wood, carry water”, I want the recipients of my handcrafted items inspired to bring mindfulness into the trances of everyday life that we so easily get caught in. Asking in quiet mindfulness to know where one is out of balance or for the healing desired or simply embracing the moments within the ordinary as sacred, this is the purpose behind my work and the non-intrusive products that weave themselves into the ordinariness of everyday life.
How simple to be brought to mindfulness each time we wash our face or hands, shower or bathe, wrap up in a quilt or put on a scarf, use a paperweight or gazed upon a piece of contemplative artwork? Such are the touchstones I enjoy weaving into the lives of those who utilize my Reiki charged items. Having become a Reiki master/teacher some twenty years ago and and an artisan for much longer, the products I offer keep me mindful and balanced as I create them for the wellbeing of others. Such is the reciprocal nature of Reiki itself.
Mindfulness stones- Stress and anxiousness constrict and cut us off from inspiration and ease. A subtle reminder for mindfulness that rests on your desk at home or at work these beautiful hand felted or knotted Reiki infused stones offer a gentle nudge to take a breath and return to center, opening us to the natural flow of energy.
Reiki scarves - Accented with hand dyed or eco-printed cloth, my Reiki infused scarves are one of a kind designs. They are appropriate for both men or women and come in a variety of styles. Each is made from natural fibers and are available at artisan markets and shows.

Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, has lifted the seven month embargo he placed on private and commercial motorcyclists and tricycles popularly called Okada and Keke operators in the state.
Gov. Obiano had on June 1 restricted the movement of Okada and Keke operators in some parts of the state in response to the growing rate of accidents and armed robberies involving the use of these modes of transportation.
However, in a statement issued by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mrs. Uju Nwogu in Awka, the state capital on Friday, Obiano said that the decision to lift the ban was to ease transportation during the Christmas and other festivities.
The statement quoted the governor as saying Okada private motorcycle riders, as well as Keke operators can now freely ply all the roads in the state except the Enugu-Onitsha express road and Onitsha-Owerri express road.
“However, this removal of restriction is on the condition that every motorcycle rider must wear a crash helmet and carry one passenger only at a time”, he said.
Mr. Obiano advised the motorcycle operators to procure crash helmets, warning that the law enforcement agents would commence arrest of defaulters soon.

A couple of days after a scary fall that saw him smash his head on a basketball court, Shareef O’Neal, the son of basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, tweeted that he’s feeling better.
O’Neal was following his own missed shot on Monday night in the first game of his senior season when he appeared to get tangled up with an opposing player and hit the floor – hard. He did not brace himself as he fell.
He was down on the court for several minutes.
On his Twitter, O’Neal, who attends Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California, posted a couple of updates:
Thanks everyone for praying for me and wishing for my recovery .. still a little shook up trying to get back to my usual self . but I’ll be back in no time -Love SSJREEF
— Shareef O'Neal (@SSJreef) November 28, 2017
According to TMZ, O’Neal had 31 points in the game against Beverly Hills High at the time of his injury. He entered concussion protocol and did not play in the team’s game on Tuesday night.
A 6-foot-9 power forward, O’Neal is one of the top 30-40 players in the Class of 2018. He has committed to Arizona.

Torana LH Series ....
March 1974 - February 1976 ...
The LH Torana, announced in March 1974, was Holden's all-Australian medium car. Earlier Torans had emulated from all-Vauxhall to Australian variations on the English chassis. However, the new LH Torana series was almost a HQ on a slightly smaller scale.
With all mechanical and body parts designed and built (except fot the Opel-soursed 1900 fouor-cylinder engine), this series was the first Holden to be available with four, six and eight-cylinder engines. It was also one of the few cars in the world so built.
The LH was designed as a replacement for the long-wheelbase six-cylinder LC and LJ series Torana. The six-cylinder version accounted for the bulk of sales. The new car capitalised on the previous series' strong points such as good power-to-weight ratio, handling, solid construction and reliability. The new contemporary body gave more interior room then previous Toranas and also had many improvements in body serviceabilty with bigger, stronger bumpers and bolt-on front sheetmetal.
The model range consisted of a four-door sedan in three trim levels. The entry level was the Torana S, SL and SL/R. The S and SL were available in four, six or eight-cylinder engines (to 4.2 litre), while the SL/R came with the 3300cc (202ci) six-cylinder engine as standard and the 4.2 litre V8 (253ci/4200cc) or 5.0 litre V8 (308ci/5000cc) as options. A stationwagon version of the LH reached prototype stage but did not go into production.
When the SL/R was optioned with the 5.0 litre, it was badged the SL/R 5000 and sported large front and rear air spoilers and SL/R decals on the front guards and on the rear spoiler. The SL/R 5000 did not have wheel-arch flares, alloy or sports wheels. The vehicle, in pre-production form, was known as the GTR XU-2. (Note: the XU-2 tag was not used for the stillborn LJ V8, as it is commonly thought.
For touring car racing, Bathurst in particular, Holden released in mid-1974, the SL/R 5000 L34 option. If you considered the SL/R 5000 to be a quick car, the L34 was something else.!! Externally it could be identified by the bolt-on wheel-arch flares and bigger 14x6 inch steel rally wheels. But the big changes were inder the bonnet. The engine was based on the standard 5.0 litre block, with stronger rods and pistons, heads with modified ports and bigger valves, roller rockers, two-piece tubular exhaust headers, modified inlet manifold and twin-point/twin coil ignition. Fuel was pushed by a high-pressure fuel pump with the standard Rochester Q-Jet carburettor modified with a manual choke. Additionally available on the engine was the so-called high-output package. This was a full-on racetrack gear with an engine oil cooler, larger camshaft, 780cfm vacuum secondaty Holley carburettor and other minor modifications.
The drivetrain consisted of the GM-H M21 four-speed gearbox, fine-spline heavy-duty rear axles, HQ 10-inch rear drum brakes and 11-inch vented front discs, both wirh HQ wheel-stud pattern.
External appearance changes consisted of the removal of the black stripe on the front guards. The sill panels and rear beaver panel were no longer painted black. In addition, the rubber bumper-bar rub strips, boot mat and centre console were not fitted.
For the remainder of the LH range, four-cylinder models had seven-inch round headlights and a different grille from that of the six-cylinder 2250cc (export), 2850cc and 3300cc red motors, carried over from the LJ and HQ (called 173ci and 202ci in the HQ). The V8's were the 4.2- and 5.0-litre engines straight from the larger cars (called the 253ci and 308ci in the HQ), while the L34 5.0-litre was exclusive to the LH.
Manual and automatic transmissions were all off-the-shelf GM-H componemts from LJ and HQ models. The SL/R 5000 was only available with the M21 four-speed, floor-shift manual gearbox. Differentals were all Holden Banyo-style units, mounted as in the LJ and Hq series with four trailing-arm links and col springs.
The 'S' model had a front bench seat and nine-inch drum brakes all round and fairly basic trim and instrumentation. The SL had front bucket seats, carpeting, wallnut-grain dash, clock, power front disc brakes and rubber bumper bar strips. The SL/R gained full instrumentation, radial-ply tyres, rally striping and a four-speed floor-shift manual (lesser models had a three-speed column-shift manual, with the four-speed manual and the Tri-matic auto both optional) transmission.
There were two limited-build, fixed-option packages offered to the LH. Early 1975 saw the Torana G-Pak. This was comparable to the HQ SS and came as a Torana S with a 3300cc (202ci) engine, M20 four-speed transmission, power front disc brakes, front bucket seats, SL/R instrumentation and wheel trima and exclusive G-Pak striping and badging. The G-Pak was available in three colours only: red, yellow and green.
Late 175 saw the Plus 4. This package was introduced to provide sales interest in the four-cylinder range and came with front bucket seats, full carpeting, clock and power front disc brakes. The car was identified by large 'Plus 4' on the rear guards and the rear panel. In addition there were 'Torana' decals on the front apron and rear panel. The Plus 4 was offered in only red, yellow or green paintwork with colour-coded SL/R-type wheel trims. The front and rear bumpers were painted black to match the wide side striping.
The LH (S and SL versions only) was also made in lefthand drive form for export.

Love it or hate it, the HBO series Sex and the City was a global phenomenon that redefined cultural stereotypes of single women in their 30s.
From 1998 to 2003, millions of viewers the world over tuned it for the latest exploits of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, who challenged the notion that single life for older women was anything other than fabulous and fun.
While American audiences needed a bit of persuasion to admit that 30 was perhaps the new 20, Japanese women were quick to embrace the notion of aging gracefully outside the restrictive confines of marriage.
Indeed, there’s even a new word to describe a fashionable and sophisticated single woman in her thirties, namely arasa (????????????), which is short for aranundo sati, the Japanese pronunciation for ‘around thirty.’
While Japanese government bureaucrats – the vast majority of whom are male – are scrambling to solve the problem of Japan’s declining birth rate and aging population, Japanese women are increasingly embracing the freedom of unmarried life.
In fact, they’re currently being targeted by some of Japan’s most prominent brand name stores and boutiques, which are slowly realizing that older women have much more purchasing power than fickle teeny-boppers.
If you happen to be ‘aranudo sati,’ keep on reading for more info…
It wasn’t too long ago in Japan that turning 25 was something of a death-sentence for unmarried women.
Believe it or not, unmarried women in their late 20s and early 30s were once commonly referred to as Christmas cakes (クリスマスケーキ, kurisumasukekki). Since you tend to throw away uneaten Christmas cakes after December 25th, the sick punch line is that unmarried women beyond the age of 25 have little value to society.
Wow. That’s harsh…
Of course, all of this is changing, especially since sexy older women are now gracing the covers of Japanese fashion magazines that were once reserved exclusively for teenage models. Stores and boutiques in fashionable neighborhoods such as Ginza and Ometesandou in Tokyo are increasingly shunning younger shoppers, preferring to market exclusively to the padded wallets of older, single women.
While Japanese men will certainly have to face the reality of declining marriage prospects, Japanese women seem to be embracing the personal and financial power and freedom that comes with being financially stable and single.
Arasa women have even coined their own word for mature sexiness, namely otona-gyaru (大人ギャル, grown-up gal), which signifies the transformation from Harajuku and Shibuya-themed youth fashion to the fabulous world of single adulthood.
Of course, not everyone is happy with the latest consumer trend sweeping across the country. On the contrary, Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population is a serious issue that is threatening to collapse one of the world’s most powerful economies.
However, while politicians in Tokyo’s Diet argue and bicker about the best course of action for convincing women to settle down, arasa are breaking with tradition, and flexing their growing consumer might.
Perhaps Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda had it right all along – 30 really is the new 20.

Some of that run was done with James Pendergraph on the bench. The ASU senior didn't practice on Saturday with a sore left heel suffered in Friday's victory, and sprained his right knee tonight against the Bears playing just ten minutes in the first half.
Nonetheless, Rihards Kuksiks scored eight points in the last seven minutes, as the visitors enjoyed a 20-8 run to tie the game at 37 apiece at the half. The sophomore beat the shot clock with two seconds left on the game to clock to tie the score.
Pendergraph returned to the game in the second half, and scored 12 points in this stanza. However, the Bears captured the lead back after just three and half minutes, and had a 47-45 advantage. The Bears missed just six field goal attempts in the first 16 minutes of the second half, but ASU hung in there trailing just 69-97 with 4:23 to go.
The play that may have sealed the contest's fate occurred with 2:13 left in the game, when Randle completed a four-point play after being fouled by Ty Abbott on a successful three-point attempt. That gave Cal a 75-69 lead and that margin just continued to increase from there until the final buzzer.
The loss snapped ASU's four-game winning streak in Haas Pavilion, as the Sun Devils split their first road series of the 2009 Pac-10 season. Harden had 26 points and eight rebounds to lead his team, but was just 9-22 from the field. Pendergraph and Kuksiks had 16 apiece.
ASU had a 29-25 advantage on the glass, but couldn't contain the torrid shooting hosts who were 9-17 beyond the arc.
The maroon and gold will begin their first two-game Pac-10 home stand this week when they host Oregon State on Thursday at 8:30 pm MT.

ANN ARBOR, MI - Ann Arbor officials have decided they aren't willing to approve a major housing development known as the Cottages at Barton Green off Pontiac Trail on the city's north side.
After a half-hour meeting behind closed doors with the city's legal counsel Monday night, Sept. 17, the City Council voted 10-0 to reject the development plans from Trinitas Ventures.
That decision drew applause from many residents seated inside the council chambers at city hall, as the development has been controversial and was opposed by neighbors.
Not satisfied with earlier plans for a 710-bed housing project geared toward University of Michigan students, the City Council sent the Indiana-based developer back to the drawing board in July, asking Trinitas to work with neighbors and make significant changes.
Mayor Christopher Taylor had suggested in July he wanted to see a greener project with a greater diversity of housing types, and fewer dorm-style apartments with four, five and six bedrooms.
Still not satisfied with proposed modifications Monday night, which included elimination of some units and changes in the housing mix, neighbors again spoke out against the project, and council members shared their own concerns before voting it down.
Offering legal justification, council members noted the city code allows them to reject developments that would cause area traffic ratings to diminish to service levels of D, E or F.
They said a traffic study showed that would be the case for several intersections in the area, including Pontiac Trail and Barton Drive, Barton Drive and Traver Road, Barton Drive and Plymouth Road, and Broadway/Plymouth/Moore/Maiden Lane.
"This is a demonstration that there's going to be a very negative impact on traffic in the very manner that the (city code) describes as being the basis for denying a site plan," said Council Member Jack Eaton, D-4th Ward. "And for that reason, I'll be voting against this site plan."
Council members said there are no traffic improvements scheduled at this time that would alleviate those concerns.
"Work needs to be scheduled to provide for improvements of intersections before the site plan can be approved under our zoning code," said Council Member Zackary Ackerman, D-3rd Ward.
Taylor and Council Member Jane Lumm both argued the project would negatively impact public health, safety and welfare.
Taylor said he was disappointed with where things ended up, as he was hoping for a better compromise.
Lumm, an independent from the 2nd Ward, said it's somewhat rare for plans to come to council with a recommendation by the Planning Commission to deny approval, but that's what happened in this case, and she thinks the commission made the right call.
Neighbors have argued it's essentially dorm-style housing for UM students in a location where it doesn't belong, too far from campus, and they don't want it in their neighborhood.
Some have argued there was too much parking proposed and it did not meet the city's requirement for new developments to limit the disturbance of natural features to the minimum necessary to allow a reasonable use of the land. The developer has disagreed on that.
Trinitas had been proposing 221 apartments with 710 beds in 92 buildings on 32 acres next to M-14, north of Skydale Drive at 2601 Pontiac Trail. The plan presented in July included more than 550 surface parking spaces, a clubhouse, pool and other amenities.
Timothy Stoepker, an attorney for the developer, has argued that what was proposed met city code requirements.
In a Sept. 12 letter to city officials, he outlined potential changes Trinitas was willing to make following a Sept. 4 meeting between the developer, city staff and community members.
That included elimination of 10 housing units, including all of the six-bedroom units, eliminating a total of 28 beds, as well as eliminating 28 car parking spaces and deferring 26 other car parking spaces.
To increase the mix of housing types, the developer proposed adding eight single-family homes, though some questioned whether that really would be single-family housing, as the units could just be rented out by the bed, which the developer indicated was a possibility.
As some city officials have said they wanted to see a greener project that helps meet the city's sustainability goals, Stoepker's letter also included an attached list of many "green/sustainable initiatives" for the development, including energy-efficient building features and construction methods, installing electric vehicle equipment for 2 percent of parking spaces, providing long-term bicycle storage for more than 30 percent of apartments, incorporating permeable paving for part of the site, and prohibiting smoking in the clubhouse.
Stoepker also said the developer was willing to replace 40 Class-C bicycle parking spaces with 40 Class-B covered spaces to address concerns about lack of covered bicycle parking.
To try to address concerns about cars parking on nearby neighborhood streets, Trinitas also proposed including in tenant leases a provision for fines of $25 per violation or $100 per month for anyone caught parking on public streets outside of the property.
Council Member Sumi Kailasapathy, D-1st Ward, questioned the enforceability of that.
To reduce individual vehicle trips, Trinitas also said it would provide two private shuttle buses for use by tenants, transporting them to and from UM campus areas. Trinitas also offered to provide five ride-share/carpool parking spaces near the clubhouse on its property.
Council Member Chip Smith, D-5th Ward, said what Trinitas was willing to offer fell far short of expectations.
"It fails to meet the goals and aspirations of so many parts of our master plan," he said. "Very specifically, looking at our sustainability framework, as we look at energy use, as we look at sustainable systems, this just falls short in so many other ways."
He suggested it paled in comparison to another apartment development that came before council Monday night, one that includes rooftop solar panels and other green building features.
"When I'm given a memo that tells me that, you know, this is going to be a green project because there's no smoking in the clubhouse building, and then I have another project that discusses, you know, having the entire roof covered in solar panels, I see a huge ... failure to understand what the goals and objectives of our master plan documents are," Smith said. "So, I can't support this."
Council Member Graydon Krapohl, D-4th Ward, was absent.

Right heart ventriculography is a study that images the right chambers (atrium and ventricle) of the heart.
Angiography - right heart
How the test is performed
You will get a mild sedative 30 minutes before the procedure. A cardiologist will cleanse the site and numb the area with a local anesthetic. Then a catheter will be inserted into a vein in your neck or groin.
The catheter will be moved forward into the right side of the heart. As the catheter is advanced, the doctor can record pressures from the right atrium and right ventricle.
Contrast material ("dye") is injected into the right side of the heart. It helps the cardiologist determine the size and shape of the heart's chambers.
The procedure will last 1 to several hours.
How to prepare for the test
You will not be allowed to eat or drink for 6 - 8 hours before the test. The procedure takes place in the hospital. Generally, you will be admitted the morning of the procedure. However, you may need to be admitted the night before.
A health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. You must sign a consent form.
How the test will feel
You will be given local anesthesia where the catheter is inserted. The only thing you should feel is pressure at the site. You will not feel the catheter as it is moved through your veins into the right side of the heart.
Why the test is performed
Right heart angiography is performed to detect the cause of abnormal blood flow through the right side of the heart.

Apartment building sales taking off
Several major deals this year, with more in sector’s pipeline
In a sluggish investor market for commercial properties, the multifamily sector has come alive.
Two apartment complex sales in the past month have generated nearly $45 million in investment from California buyers in the Duke City. More big deals are in the pipeline that will make 2012 the most active year for apartment sales in several years, say brokers who focus in this under-the-radar market.
The biggest deal so far in 2012 was announced in August, when Beverly Hills-based Aragon Holdings snapped up Broadstone Towne Center from Alliance Residential LLC.
The sale price was not announced, but brokers familiar with the deal peg it at around $35 million, which would make it one of the biggest sales in any commercial real estate sector in Albuquerque this year. There were five bidders for the modern complex near Albuquerque International Sunport.
Larry Clark, Aragon’s president, said at the time that the city’s population growth since 2000 and its lower unemployment rate compared to the nation’s gave Aragon the confidence to make its first Albuquerque acquisition.
Clark could not be reached for comment for this story.
A combination of available financing and the sense that multifamily is a safer investment than office or retail projects is driving sales, according to Erik Olson, an apartment broker at NAI Maestas & Ward.
Obtaining financing for multifamily deals is far easier than getting a loan to acquire shopping centers or office buildings.
The government offers loans to buy apartment buildings, while borrowing is provided by banks and institutional lenders for other property, he said.
“Prices are getting pushed higher, as the lower cost of financing is the grease for these transactions. A year ago, you could get a Fannie Mae loan for 4.5 percent. The latest Fannie Mae loan for an apartment deal is 3.66 percent,” Olson said.
Nationally, apartment deals are up about 23 percent in the first half of 2012 from a year earlier, according to Mark Obrinsky, vice president and chief economist for the National Multi Housing Council.
On Sept. 1, Carlo/Cavco, a family-held portfolio, sold its three apartment complexes totaling 248 units on 10 acres in central Albuquerque, according to Brett Hills of NAI Maestas & Ward, who brokered the deal. Hills declined to disclose the sale price.
The property was listed in marketing materials at $12.395 million. The buyer was Los Angeles-based Latitude Management Real Estate Investors, where officials declined comment.
The apartment complexes were The Cedars, Indian Plaza and Girard Apartments.
Another major sale occurred earlier this year, when AEW Capital Management paid more than $25 million for the 250-unit La Ventana complex. AEW also bought ABQ Uptown Village from Hunt Development two years ago. Officials at AEW could not be reached for comment.
Other deals in the pipeline include the 243-unit Mesa Verde complex at 4610 Eubank Blvd. NE, which has a Sept. 18 bid deadline, according to marketing materials. The asking price is $16.5 million.
Bill Fox at Hendricks & Partners, who has the listing, could not be reached.
Todd Clarke of New Mexico Apartment Advisors said he will list a $24 million sale in late September, but did not give specifics.
Apartment deals are some of the most secretive in the industry, and seldom get announced. Brokers often say their clients are wary of increased taxes when the properties get reassessed. Sometimes, sales agreements specify that parties who discuss the transactions can be fined.
“Unfortunately, we’re under a strict confidentiality agreement to not disclose any details regarding marketed properties in New Mexico or any potential sales ... We aren’t even allowed to say if a property is still being marketed or not,” said CBRE’s Billy Eagle, who with his father David brokers apartment building deals.
Albuquerque is seen as a solid tertiary market that has value because of its high occupancy levels (around 93 percent) and rent appreciation. There isn’t as much competition for properties here as in the top 20 markets.
Olson estimates there will be five major apartment deals completed this year in the Duke City metro.
He has a potential deal for a 150-unit complex in the Northeast Heights that will likely go under contract later this month for more than $9 million.

Brown marmorated stink bug found in Port Melbourne
7 February 2019
The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) has been detected in Port Melbourne.
The bug was found in an Agriculture Victoria trap which was put out as a precaution after Victoria’s first BMSB detection in Clayton in December.
Victoria’s Chief Plant Health Officer, Dr Rosa Crnov, said Agriculture Victoria had increased surveillance and trapping activities within a two-kilometre radius of the detection in Port Melbourne.
BMSB is an exotic nuisance pest that feeds on more than 300 types of vegetable crops, fruit and ornamental trees, and can cause significant damage.
It shelters inside homes and buildings, vehicles, machinery and sheds, producing a very unpleasant odour when it is disturbed or squashed, hence the term ‘stink bug’, but it poses no risk to human or animal health.
“With Agriculture Victoria responding to three detections this season, we have been reminded how easily bugs like the BMSB can enter Victoria,” Dr Crnov said.
“The bugs have been linked to terracotta pots and earth-moving machinery here in Victoria, and other items such as new shoes and glassware internationally – so it is important that Victorians report any suspect bugs found in imported goods, including household online shopping, and that they even check their luggage when returning to Victoria from international holidays.”
BMSB surveillance is continuing at Clayton and Dandenong South, with recipients of terracotta pots from the Dandenong South warehouse being contacted and asked to be on the look out for any bugs.
“We need all residents of Melbourne, but especially in Port Melbourne, Clayton and Dandenong South, to be on the lookout for this stink bug. If you see a bug, catch it, take a photo and contact us.
“Reporting any suspect bugs will help us establish if there are any more, and if there are more we will work to stop their spread.”
The federal Department of Agriculture and Water Resources put in place strengthened biosecurity measures offshore and at the border for the 2018-19 season and has been intercepting and treating high risk imported goods.
The BMSB is 12 to 17 mm long, has a distinctive brown ‘shield’ shape and variable body colour, with black and white banding around the outer edge of its body.
For more information, including how to identify the BMSB, visit agriculture.vic.gov.au/bmsb.
If you suspect a BMSB, make a report to the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881 or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

Kaladze releases a statement about controversy around his business
Candidate for the minister of energy and natural resources, Kakha Kaladze published a special statement regarding the scandal of the interest of conflicts around his company in the energy sphere and his official authorities. Kaladze was to make this statement after it was reported that his private company Kala Capital has 45% of shares in an energy company, which causes the conflict of interests according to Georgian legislation.
`45% of shares of Sakhidromshen company belongs to Kala Capital Company, which is in my possession. Sakhidromshen carries out projects connected with the energy sector along with other projects. Therefore, according to the Law on Incompatibility of Interests in Public Service and Corruption`, within ten days since I assume the office, Kala Capital will begin procedures of sell off of the company`s shares in Sakhidromshen. As for my other business activities, which are not tied with the energy sector, I will take adequate decisions in accordance with law. I would also underline that my activities was always based and will be always based on the respect of the rule of law,` Kaladze said in the statement.


As a resident of the Ironbound section, Stephanie Greenwood is one of the few Newark residents among the members of Ahavas Sholom, the city’s last functioning historic synagogue.
Yet at times she feels the pull of her background in Montclair, where she was an active member of the Reconstructionist Bnai Keshet congregation. She describes Montclair as a town “with a lot of politically active people and a racial diversity that’s unusual for New Jersey.” At the same time, it has “stark inequalities of race and class clearly visible and affecting people’s lives.”
As sustainability officer for Newark, Greenwood, 34, aims to close such gaps in that city. Formally established in 2010 as part of the Department of Economic and Housing Development, the Sustainability Office is responsible for quality of life and public health issues.
She describes the job as “doing a lot of environmental justice work, overseeing city programs ranging from air quality and toxic waste to tree planting and recycling.”
It’s a natural extension, she suggested, of her experience, before her current appointment in June 2010, as a community development manager at the Newark/Essex Foreclosure Taskforce, formed in 2007 to help Newark residents hold on to their homes in the midst of the financial meltdown.
Nearly 3,000 Newark homeowners face foreclosure each year. The taskforce — of which Greenwood is still a member — works with banks to negotiate with mortgage holders, buy up abandoned properties, and organize grassroots neighborhood groups.
To Greenwood, suburban volunteers can make a real difference in helping Newark residents cope with the possibility of losing their homes.
The fact that many Jews trace their historical roots to Newark “can provide a basis for a sense of obligation to deal with the inequalities in quality of life and opportunity for Newark kids,” she told NJ Jewish Jews in a Jan. 6 phone interview.
One effort she is hoping to organize is a coalition of urban and suburban homeowners to negotiate with large banking chains that hold mortgages in both areas.
She is also asking attorneys to provide pro bono legal help for Newark homeowners and tenants who may be facing homelessness. Greenwood is also encouraging suburbanites to visit Newark for what she called “neighborhood walk-arounds — strolls through target neighborhoods to record information about abandoned property and/or pass out flyers about foreclosure prevention.”
“It also would be interesting to get youth groups on field trips from suburban synagogues to take tours and learn about the history of the Jews of Newark and how they left and went to the suburbs,” she said.
Even as she confronts massive problems with environmental issues and her previous tasks in housing problems, Greenwood said she remains optimistic.
“We have a lot of potential for community development in some of our hard-hit areas, partly because there is a strong history of activism and long-term residents who are leaders in their neighborhoods and committed to staying put and making things better. There are a lot of community organizations with strong roots.”
Her own roots are in the public school system of Montclair, followed by her earning an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and a master’s in public affairs and urban and regional planning from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University.
Before beginning work as an intern with the Cory Booker administration, she worked as a researcher for Good Jobs New York, which provides economic development information and resources to community groups, journalists, and elected officials. She also worked as a researcher for the Committee of Interns and Residents, a trade union representing fledgling physicians.
Before moving to Newark she lived in Brooklyn and became involved with Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. In a recent interview with Jewish Currents magazine, Greenwood described how her Judaism and JFREJ helped shape her social justice perspective and activism.
The organization “made the social justice tenets of Judaism the basis for organizing Jews around local issues like affordable housing, the rights of domestic workers, and immigrant detention,” she told the magazine.
Greenwood looks beyond Newark’s borders to generate similar enthusiasm for the city’s revival. Ahavas Sholom, for example, with a largely suburban membership, has helped build playgrounds for Newark public schools, among other projects.
“I want people to feel excited about building relationships with the city of Newark,” Greenwood said. “It doesn’t have to be only a good feeling about the past. There’s a lot that can be done today to make real social and cultural connections and, maybe most important, to help reconnect the city to the suburbs economically.”


MSNBC anchor Katy Tur conducted a "painful" interview with Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) on the policy implications of the Graham-Cassidy Trumpcare bill.
Tur repeatedly attempted to get Sen. Barrasso to answer questions about be bill being rushed through the Senate, yet the conservative senator refused to answer and instead kept attempting to shift the conversation back to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
"Senator I just want to know one thing: can you guarantee the people of Wyoming that the costs associated with their preexisting conditions will not go up so much so that they will not be able to afford it?" Tur asked.
"The costs have gone up almost already gone up on Obamacare, Katy, so much that people can't afford it," Sen. Barrasso replied while dodging the question.
At this point there was much talking over each other, as Sen. Barrasso continued to refuse to answer the question.
"I'm asking it for Graham-Cassidy, something you are going to be voting for," Tur responded, trying to refocus the conversation on the pending legislation.
Sen. Barrasso again refused to answer Tur's question.
"I'm trying to get you to answer the question that I asked," Tur said.
Watched this live - painful. But thanks for pressing him @KatyTurNBC https://t.co/JW09H9AUx9— julie rovner (@julie rovner) 1505866424.0
"Respectfully, this is the bill that you are voting for," Tur reminded.
"Can you tell your voters -- the people of Wyoming -- that the costs associated with their preexisting condition will not go up so much that they will not be able to afford health care coverage?" Tur again asked.
"People can't afford it now," Sen. Barrasso claimed.
"That's not what I asked, senator," a frustrated Tur noted.


, NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 26 – The Government and the United Nations have signed a development assistance framework that will see the UN mobilise Sh102 billion for implementation of development programmes in the country over a four-year period.
The United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2014-2018 will complement the Government’s development efforts in transformational governance through policy reforms and institutional capacity building at the national level and county levels. It will also focus on human capital development programmes in the education, water, sanitation, nutrition, hygiene, HIV/AIDs and social protection among other areas of national priority.
Speaking after witnessing the historic signing and launching of the multi-billion shillings development assistance framework at State House, Nairobi, President Uhuru Kenyatta appreciated the continued support to the country’s economic development agenda in line with the Vision 2030 strategy.
“Indeed, our cooperation with you has grown over the years and has contributed greatly to the improvement in the living standards of our people,” he said.
He challenged those charged with implementation of the development programmes to deliver within the set timeframe.
“I wish to make it clear that our people’s expectations are very high and as such we cannot afford any lagged behaviour,” the President said.
He added: “We shall hold you, the implementing agencies, accountable for the delivery of service funded under this programme.”
The President commended the UN agencies for adopting the “Delivery as One” approach which is intended to ensure that the support by UN agencies is aligned to Kenya’s aspirations and development priorities.
President Kenyatta said the targeted activities in the productive sector are aimed at improving business environment, skills development and promoting job creation.
As the country moves towards reaching the middle income status by 2030 or earlier, the President emphasised the Jubilee Government’s determination to succeed in making Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous nation.
He said already the Second Medium Term Plan that covers the 2013-2017 period has been launched, noting that it is the second five-year plan linked to the implementation of the development agenda as stipulated in the Vision 2030 strategy.
The President exuded optimism that the ongoing Government efforts would enable the country to overcome the challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment among young people.
“I am convinced that with additional resources being channelled to strengthen key institutions, leadership and human resource capacity and effective accountability systems, at both the national and county levels, we will be on our way to winning the battle of extreme poverty and inequality in our country,” the President said.
