It was all systems go on Tuesday, June 29, as proponents of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) put up a spirited fight in a bid to overturn the High Court ruling that stalled the constitutional reforms process.
Attorney-General Kihara Kariuki, through a team of top lawyers, urged the Court of Appeal to overturn the earlier ruling.
In a nine-point attack of the High Court judgment, the AG said the five judges turned the case into a personalized attack on President Uhuru Kenyatta and subsequently delivered an erroneous decision that grossly upended the people’s power to determine their political and governance destiny.
The pro-BBI team made a passionate call to the Appellate Court to “let the people decide” the fate of the BBI Bill in a referendum.
In his submission to the seven-judge bench, Solicitor General Ken Ogeto faulted the five High Court judges who ruled against the BBI bill for ignoring evidence as to who the actual promoters of the bill were.
He appealed to the court to ‘rewrite the wrong’ that was done at the High Court, which stopped the BBI process.
Ogeto argued there was never any intention to make certain parts of the constitution unamendable as the High Court had ruled.
He stated that the claim was a “fundamental factual error on the part of the judges”.
In their judgment declaring the BBI “unconstitutional, null and void,” the High Court judges said that the President could not spearhead constitutional amendments through a popular initiative, saying that route was reserved for ordinary citizens.
“Judiciary has its obligation to make sure the processes are conducted in accordance with the constitution, it must concede to the popular sovereignty,” they ruled.
But the Solicitor General said nothing in the constitution prevents the president from originating an amendment proposal to the constitution.
Ogeto said even so, in the case of BBI, Uhuru never played the role the judges claimed that he did. Instead, he said the judges were keen on personalised attacks against the person of the president.
“To them, the facts and the law did not matter, nor will the sovereign of the people,” he said.
Ogeto delved into the High Court ruling that the president has no capacity to start a popular initiative because he is a State officer.
He argued that the 2010 Constitution has no place for the basic structure doctrine but instead provides two avenues to amend the constitution.
“Our constitution has no place for the application of the basic structure doctrine. Chapter 16 of our constitution provides that it may be amended whether through parliamentary initiative or popular initiative,” the advocate stated.
According to the pro-BBI camp, the BBI bill followed the popular initiative route, and that is why they had over five million signature endorsements from Kenyans.
They also made it clear that over 40 County Assemblies overwhelmingly endorsed the BBI bill.
With 24 years of experience as a practising advocate of the High Court, Ogeto is not new in representing the government and President Uhuru in court.
A graduate of Masters in Law degree from the University of Nairobi, Ogeto holds a Diploma in Legal Practice from the Kenya School of Law earned in 1990 and a Bachelors of Law degree from the same university he earned in 1989.
By law, the Solicitor General assists the AG in the performance of the duties of the Attorney General.
Aside from assisting the AG, the Solicitor General has several other duties among them to conduct, or assign and supervise all court cases, including appeals or petitions on behalf of the AG and subject to Article 234 of the constitution, be responsible for the discipline of state counsels and other members of staff of the office.
Through Ogeto and others, the state hopes to secure a stay order from the Court of Appeal and proceed with the BBI process as scheduled. The hearing continues today, Wednesday, June 30.

The first time I wrote about Las Vegas attorney Ruth Cohen was in 1978, when she became the first female federal prosecutor in Nevada’s history.
At the time, it seemed like an overdue female first. But in Nevada, the ’70s and ’80s were the decades when women started increasing their numbers in the state’s legal world. Before then, female attorneys were rarities.
Nevada Lawyer asked me to write about Cohen for its March issue celebrating Women’s History Month. Part of this column was first published in the State Bar’s magazine. The edition just out made me realize how many of the women on the “first female” list were women I wrote about and, frankly, forgot they were trailblazers.
Can you name the first woman on the U.S. District Court bench in Nevada? Johnnie Rawlinson in 1998. She’s also the first African-American woman to sit on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Who was the first female chief justice of the Nevada Supreme Court? Miriam Shearing in 1997. To get there, she started as the first woman elected as a state District Court judge in 1982.
Frankie Sue Del Papa is a twofer. She became the first female secretary of state in 1987 and the first female attorney general in 1991.
Linda Riegle became the first female U.S. bankruptcy judge in 1988, and the next year Franny Forsman became the first female federal public defender, and both still hold those jobs.
The first female U.S. attorney for Nevada? Kathryn Landreth in 1993.
Cohen left New Jersey for Nevada because a girlfriend had told her there were more opportunities for young lawyers in Las Vegas, especially for women. That turned out to be true for Cohen.
The pretty, feisty 27-year-old with a raucous laugh arrived here in 1976 and, after passing the Nevada bar, became the fourth woman ever hired in the Clark County district attorney’s office.
In 1978, U.S. Attorney Mahlon Brown named her the first female federal prosecutor in Nevada’s history, relying on a recommendation from prosecutor Lawrence Leavitt, now a federal magistrate.
“I had confidence in her, and it had nothing to do with her gender; she made a strong impression,” Leavitt said. “Ruth had a tough-guy New Jersey exterior but inside was quite soft and sensitive. That’s why it was easy to look at her as an excellent prospect for the U.S. attorney’s office.”
“I decided that rather than be a radical feminist as I had been in New Jersey, I thought it was best to shut up and do the job and gain people’s trust that way,” Cohen said.
Her most complex cases were multimillion-dollar scams involving fraudulent land developers, slot cheats and counterfeit operations.
Cohen was the first federal prosecutor to suspect there was a scheme involving doctors and lawyers in personal injury cases, although she did not prosecute the three cases that ended in convictions.
In January, Cohen opened a law firm with another former prosecutor, Paul Padda, whose parents emigrated from India. Cohen & Padda is not a first, but it’s a rarity, one of a few law firms owned and operated by a woman and a minority member.
Female prosecutors aren’t as rare today, when 30 percent of Nevada’s lawyers are women.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger said that out of 121 attorneys in his office, 54 are women, or 45 percent.
U.S. Attorney Dan Bogden said that out of the 50 federal prosecutors in his office statewide, 17 are women, or 34 percent.
Isn’t the “first female” list in Nevada’s legal community about finished?
Come to think of it, Gloria Navarro became the first Hispanic woman on the U.S. District Court last year.
Guess there’s still room for more legal firsts for Nevada women.

I introduced a tiny patch, a few small plants, of Canadian Wild Ginger to the Garden Drama test garden about 10 years ago, under an Annabelle Hydrangea. I had picked up a tiny pot of it at a plant club sale for 50 cents or so. Well, I am tickled to report that it has seeded itself throughout my yard and not only is it a handsome groundcover, it serves as a living mulch, helping to retain moisture and deter weeds.
It’s heart-shaped, palm-sized leaves are a rich green and it does produce a lovely, rather exotic little flower in May that you have to lift up its leaves to see. The mat of foliage is from four to six inches high and will spread as far as the eye can see if you let it. It burns out in the summer sun, so keep it in at least partial shade.
One of the great uses of this groundcover is growing it in dry, shady places. It can add a lot of life and vibrancy to a dry, dull spot in the garden. You will need to supplement watering the first year you plant or transplant, but after that it will take care of itself. Start looking for the volunteers to show up in the garden, often under creeping plants or on the floor of densely planted, taller plants, such as a stand of coneflowers.
An extra added treat: when you move it, the roots give off their strong, ginger aroma, that gets on your hands and lifts your spirits.

How to make the Davewich (The Davis Sandwich)
I’ve always loved sandwiches. I make one (almost) every day, either for lunch or just a snack.
Here’s how to make what I call: The Davewich
- Bread, Preferably Hoagie/Sandwich Roll
- Meat (Turkey, Ham, etc.)
- Cheese (American, Cheddar, etc.)
- Old Bay
- Cut bread if needed. Place the two slices of meat on the sandwich.
- Put 2 slices of cheese on the sandwich.
- Add a pinch of salt, a lot of Pepper, and a lot of Old Bay.
- Heat stove to a Medium temperature, add butter to pan.
- Use a presser of some kind (doesn’t have to be a panini presser, I use a burger presser) to flatten the sandwich, move around to get it all buttered up. Flip when needed.
- Take off the stove, heat in microwave for about 10–25 seconds.
- Enjoy with Chocolate Milk for the best snack/lunch ever.

I am truly saddened that our Premiere Doug Ford and the current government are moving ahead very quickly to pass the Bill 175, Connecting People to Home and Community Care Act. I had sincerely hoped that there would be many lessons learned from COVID-19 and the issues that became so heightened as we as a society tried to deal with the problems in terms of human cost in this pandemic.
One of the huge issues across Canada that came to light, was the glaring shortcomings to be found in our long-term, for-profit care facilities.
We really do need to adopt another mindset in terms of care and think about the whole person’s physical and mental health in these very challenging times. This is one of those times for me that instead of a pandemic prison I want people to consider very carefully the age old Golden Rule. It is time to ask, “Is this how I would want to live so that the owners of these homes are able to continue to accumulate great wealth at the expense of our seniors in their care?”
Instead of a major change or correction to this for-profit model of care, we have a government pushing through Bill 175, which provides for very little, if any, oversight from the provincial government. I feel it is all part of the slippery slope to remove health care from the village common. And as we rush to enhance those private profits, there will be more and more very vulnerable people falling through the cracks, especially if they do not have the private resources to pay for much needed care.
I am very, very concerned that so many of my friends have not heard that Bill 175 is almost a reality. I am very concerned that health teams are going to be overseen by Ontario Health, a super agency which it seems will further remove health care away from the community.
I do hope that Bill 175 will be stopped in its tracks and that we as the paying public will be able to say, “Thankfully, our elected officials learned a valuable lesson from the tragic loss of lives and the very difficult working conditions that the front line workers experienced during this pandemic in our long-term care facilities. This is a model of care that must be changed not expanded to another sector of health care.”
Bill 175, if passed, will have lasting impacts for years to come. I hope that there will be many more people able to find the energy to make written submissions to the government on this huge threat to our village common in the public health sector.
Written submissions and guidelines for those submissions can be found at https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/committees/legislative-assembly/parliament-42/notice-hearings/2020-jun-03-notice-hearings-standing-committee-legislative-assembly.

Select two roses that you want to cross-pollenate. The blooms should not be too tight, perhaps about one-half to 3/4 open. Carefully peel off all the petals. The rose stamens inside should look golden yellow and fresh. With sterile tweezers or cuticle scissors, carefully remove all the stamens at the base of the rose hip, so you do not damage the pollen sacs (anthers). Place the rose stamens into separate, clean film canisters, and place the canisters in a dry place, but not in direct sunlight.
Water: Roses require more water than most other landscape plantings, especially during the first year as the plant is getting its roots established. The best way to water your roses is with drip irrigation. It concentrates the water at the root zone where it is needed, and keeps the foliage dry to minimize disease problems. A good, thick layer of organic mulch will help conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and encourage healthy root growth. As the mulch breaks down, it will also add organic matter to the soil.
Just as with many other shrubs, roses can be grown from cuttings. It’s not a fast process – it may take a couple of years before your new plant produces flowers. But if you have a favourite rose, it can be fun to try. The cuttings need to be taken fresh from a healthy plant – don’t try to grow a new rose bush from the bunch of cut flowers you have sitting in a vase. And as roses bushes are pruned during winter, this is the most convenient time to take and pot up your rose cuttings.
Remove the rose hips once ripe. The rose hips will start out small and green, then change color as they grow until they are completely red, orange, brown, or purple. You may pick them at this point, or wait until they are just beginning to dry out and wrinkle. Don't wait until they are fully dry and brown, as the seeds inside may have died by this point.

Rose seeds need to go through stratification (an artificial cold spell) for 10 to 12 weeks before they will sprout. This, combined with a germination success rate of 20-30% makes propagation by seed an unattractive prospect. on by seed an unattractive prospect. If you still want to try it, find a good source of information that will guide you through the process.
Please keep in mind that many rose bushes are grafted rose bushes. This means that the bottom part is a hardier rootstock that will withstand cold and heat better than the top and more desired part of the rose bush. Starting a rose bush from cuttings places the new rose bush on its own roots, so it may not be as hardy in cold climates or in extreme heat conditions climates. Being on its own root system can cause the new rose bush to be far less hardy than its mother rose bush.
Monitor the rose cuttings to ensure they’re hydrated and taking root. Keep an eye on the cuttings to make sure they’re never dried out, as well as to make sure the cuttings are taking root. You can test to see if the roots are growing by gently tugging on the cuttings. You should be able to feel a slight resistance after a week or 2, meaning the roots are growing well.

Salads and Poke Bowls: How Safe Are They?
When we think of healthy grab-and-go meals, salads are usually the first thing that comes to mind. Salads are packed with essential nutrients that are good for your health. Not only are they low in fat and calories, they also contain dietary fibre that promotes regular bowel function and vitamins that boost your immune system.
Salads are also often touted as the go to meal for weight loss and an essential part of a celebrity’s diet to maintain peak physical condition. Poke bowl, a salad dish made of raw fish and vegetables, has become a popular food option too in Singapore because of its nutritional value and convenience. But is it safe to eat them?
Food Poisoning Risk
In the United States, there have been numerous reports of salads being one of the largest sources of food poisoning. The most recent case in December 2021, involved the recall of several brands of salads linked to a Listeria (bacteria) outbreak.
Salads are associated with a higher risk of food poisoning due to harmful bacteria caused by the contamination of raw ingredients. Contamination can occur at any stage of processing and production:
- Water contaminated with dirt can leach into the soil that grows vegetables
- Unhygienic practices of handling raw food can cause cross-contamination
- Improper processing or storage of certain fish can cause scombroid poisoning even when the fish is cooked thoroughly
Are Organic Vegetables Safer?
Many believe that organic vegetables are grown without chemical fertilisers and pesticides that make them safer for consumption.
On the contrary, organic vegetables can contain pesticides, albeit lower pesticide residues than non-organic vegetables. Researchers from Stanford University have found that organic foods rank slightly higher in food safety, with 30% lower pesticide residues than conventionally-grown ones.
However, there is limited evidence to support the notion that organic foods were necessarily healthier as pesticide exposure for both organic and conventional foods were both within food safety limits.
How Can We Reduce Our Risk Of Food Poisoning?
Following the basic rules of food safety can help to minimise your risk of food poisoning, also known as acute gastroenteritis. Here are some tips to note when buying salads off the shelf:
- Avoid buying pre-packaged salads that have been left out at room temperature
- Avoid buying salads with leafy greens that are bruised or damaged
- Consume your store bought salad within 1 to 2 hours. Otherwise, refrigerate it as soon as possible
- Always check the expiration date before consuming any salads
If you are preparing salads at home:
- Store and separate vegetables from raw meat in different compartments in the refrigerator
- Clean your hands with soap and water before preparing the salad
- Remove any bruised or damaged leafy green parts. Wash the remaining vegetables under running water before cutting and eating the salad
- Dry the leafy greens with a clean cloth or paper towel
- Use separate chopping boards and utensils when preparing raw meat and vegetables
- When cooking raw meat, make sure they are thoroughly cooked
When Should I Visit The A&E For Food Poisoning?
Food poisoning can potentially be life-threatening in serious cases. Visit the Accident and Emergency (A&E) if you or someone experiences severe symptoms such as:
- Severe dehydration
- Blurred vision or dizziness
- Persistent fever and vomiting
- Blood in stools
- Dark and concentrated urine


Sitting snugly between the NX300 and the NX1100, the NX2000 was designed for entry to mid level photographers and those wanting to step up to a mirrorless camera system. The NX2000 has some pretty good specs–it offers users a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, an ISO range of 100-25600, and a continuous shutter speed of 8 frames per second. With a price point so close to its siblings, does the NX2000 have what it takes to stand out or will it succumb to middle child syndrome and fall between the cracks?
- Very good image quality
- Very good Wi-Fi connectivity
- Speedy AF in most lighting

Over the past year, we got really excited, then, a little disappointed about Jawa. The revived Czech brand now Indian introduced the Jawa and Jawa Forty Two almost a year ago, hitting the ground running. The models looked good and things seemed promising until the company started being a victim of its success. Now, the company wants to celebrate its one year anniversary with something special: a new model.
The irony in that is that even with only two models currently available, Jawa is struggling to meet the demand. Waiting times of almost a year have been reported, something the company has tried to address without much success. A tool that gives buyers an estimated delivery date for their bike might seem like energy put in the wrong place. We’re still rooting for Jawa but if seems like the company is focusing on the wrong things (like expanding its network of dealers when the ones currently open can’t keep up with the order).
With its first anniversary back on the market about to be celebrated on November 15, Jawa decided to treat itself to a special birthday gift: the addition of a third model to its lineup. Just like the standard Jawa and the Forty Two, the new Perak is a good-looking bike that has the potential to attract a new type of audience. This time, instead of the classic naked silhouette, the company is adding a bobber-style bike to its lineup.
Unlike the two existing Jawas, the Perak receives a number of model-specific components including an elegant floating saddle, bar-end mirrors, a longer swingarm, and a single shock. The company was set to release the model earlier this year —in fact, the bike shared the stage with the Jawa and the Forty Two when the company announced its lineup. The model has since been delayed but it seems like a birthday is a good occasion to finally launch a new bike.
We can only hope Jawa will find the energy and time to ramp up production and shorten delivery times. A new bike is a lot of fun but it loses its impact if excited buyers are put on the waiting list for months on end.

The biggest job young people have in life is getting old. This is the first piece of advice shared in They Saw The Sun First, a short film by Stefan Hunt.
After realizing the voice of elders was missing from the life advice he consumed—on podcasts, newsletters, and social media—Hunt set out to change that by interviewing New York City’s aging population. The final result? A beautiful series of experimental vignettes that explore youth, the relationship to self and others, dreams, and everything in between. Working alongside Fresh Film Productions, Hunt and his short film took home the 2021 Webby Award in Video for Art & Experimental.
We spoke to Hunt about the process of creating his film that serves as an ode to our elders, and a love letter to life.
What inspired you to create this short film interviewing New York’s elders?
I have these early childhood memories of sitting in my mum’s lap and literally bawling my eyes out at the prospect of growing up. Adulthood looked terrifyingly boring. I couldn’t believe this was every kid’s destiny. So I guess my work always had this childlike lens, storytelling filled with naivety and wonder. Then I had a conversation about life with a friend of mine, an elder, and this sparked a curiosity in me about what the other end of life looks like.
It also made me realise that nearly all the ‘life advice’ I was consuming on social media / podcasts / newsletters was from younger people, like me, who had access to these platforms. So I began interviewing ageing New Yorkers about life, death and everything in between. We’d speak for hours and amongst the chats these little gems of wisdom would emerge. Listening to someone reflect on a life that they’re nearly at the end of really sticks with you, and I wanted other young people to hear it too.
What questions did you have before you started this project–about what you were going to hear, see and feel?
So I didn’t go into these conversations with any specific answers that I wanted to get. I feel like New York is filled with interesting characters who have seen some stuff and they would inevitably have great stories to tell.
My questions were simple. They included; Whats your biggest regret in life? How has the world changed? What advice would you give your younger self? The rest of it was just about listening.
What surprised you about what you uncovered through the interviews and in the final cut?
One of the people I interviewed is named Nancy. It’s her voice that opens and closes the film. We invited Nancy and her husband Ed to come on set the day we filmed the scene in the cafe. Film sets are absolute chaos and can get quite stressful, but it stopped every single one of us in our tracks when Nancy and Ed decided to slow dance to the score as if no one else was in the room. An experience like that on set is so humbling. It reminds you to stop and just live a little. There were a lot of magic moments like that in the creation of this film, and I think you can feel that when you watch it.
Also if you look hard enough you can see Nancy and Ed slow dancing in the reflection of the cafe window.
From casting, to location scouting to movement direction, how did your team approach the process of bringing each elder’s story to life?
The interviews were so profound for me personally that my driving force was to honour each of these people’s sentiments.
Every decision – from music to cinematography to casting to dance – had the goal of making a young audience stop and listen, truly listen. In our fast-paced internet world having anyone, especially young people, switch off for eight minutes isn’t the norm, but I decided to go against the algorithms and ask people for their time.
I’d say to each head of department, “I want to send our audience into a trance. Everything should feel mesmerising”. Our creative choices were grounded in simplicity instead of fighting for attention with big dance moves and a pumping song.
My wife Vanessa Marian is an amazing choreographer / movement director so dance is in our household on the daily. She has opened my eyes to the power and possibilities of her craft. We decided to map the words of the elderly onto the bodies of our younger generations.
The Saw The Sun First features vignettes of actors watching and moving underneath the sun. Can you explain your choice to title it this, and the significance of the sun?
I came across the proverb ‘Old people’s speech is not to be dishonoured, after all they saw the sun first’. It resonated with the entire message of the project. The sun represents the rising of new beginnings, the setting of old chapters and time spent walking the earth. It’s a constant as we each experience life and gain wisdom on our journeys.
They Saw The Sun First won a Webby for Best Art & Experimental Film. What does your Webby win mean to you?
A friend described this film beautifully as “a love letter to life”. With the challenges of the past two years it’s nice to be reminded of that sometimes. Winning a Webby represents the global resonance of this film. I can’t express how much that means to our team. Thank you so much.


When laying track on a curve using copper clad sleepers or onto copper clad sheet for embedded track the track needs to be eased in gauge slightly for good running. To do this on Peco Code 80 rail then you need a 3-point track gauge. I have been unable to find a commercially produced 3-point track gauge for code 80 rail and so I decided to try making my own.
I used some double-sided copper coated glass fibre PCB board. I first drilled out the single point of the gauge to take a 3mm brass countersunk screw which was clamped in place using 2 nuts. The slot in the screw head was almost perfect fit for Code 80 rail. I then determined the correct width of the track and drilled out 2 more holes exactly at the track gauge from the single screw and double the track width (I.e. 9.0×2=18mm) apart. Two more 3mm screws were added to the board with nuts either side.
I clipped the slots of the screws onto a piece of Peco 009 track and then soldered the nuts and screws to the copper back of the PCB. I then turned the board over and did the same for the underside nuts etc.
The screw heads were cut back on the sides to make the gauge heads that were in contact with the rail only about 2mm wide.
The screw heads were then gently bent with pliers to be an exact fit to a straight section of Peco 009 track.
You can see how it works below.
To pre-bend the rail I use the very nicely made Rail Track Rail Roller. It is not cheap, mine cost me about £50, but it does a good smooth bend.

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala talks to The ASEAN about COVAX, one of three pillars of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, which focuses on ensuring the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to both higher income and lower-income countries. She also shares her insights on the ongoing competition and prospects for cooperation in vaccine development and distribution.
What specific mechanisms are in place to ensure equitable access to the vaccines, particularly in less developed or developing countries? What factors will determine which countries will get the approved vaccines first?
The Gavi COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) is a unique funding mechanism aimed at providing vaccine doses for 92 lower-income countries. It operates on the principle of equitable distribution, meaning that doses of safe and effective vaccines, once prequalified, are allocated at the same time to all participants, including self-financing economies that also participate in the COVAX initiative.
Regarding lower-income countries, in particular, Gavi is currently fundraising to finance the costs of at least 1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses through the Gavi COVAX AMC. These fully subsidised donor-funded doses will jumpstart new COVID-19 vaccine introductions in AMC-eligible economies. Whilst mindful of uncertainties on vaccine pricing, resource availability, and manufacturing supply, Gavi aspires to be able to cover 20 per cent of the population of AMC-eligible economies with these donor-funded doses. This roughly translates to health and social care workers, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions—thereby making a very real impact towards ending the acute phase of the pandemic by the end 2021.
Through a cost-sharing approach, countries will have an opportunity to complement and build on the essential foundation built by these early, donor-funded doses if they wish to achieve a higher population coverage.
With over 200 vaccines in development, with a few reporting high success rates in their trials, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the ongoing race in the COVID-19 vaccine development and distribution?
The world has now seen three promising candidates that target product profile for COVID-19 vaccines. The race to develop a vaccine that is safe and efficacious has led to unprecedented innovation. At the same time, diversity of vaccine candidates is absolutely essential because we know that no single producer will be able to provide enough doses to vaccinate the entire world, and different vaccines are better-adapted to different circumstances.
With accelerated testing and trials, how are scientists addressing possible research on other strains or mutations of the coronavirus?
Newly circulating strains of the virus are very closely monitored to track the evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus over time so that we have an early warning system of any emerging viral strains that could impact the effectiveness of medical countermeasures, including vaccines. This includes a task force set up by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations or CEPI which is monitoring emerging viral strains and mutations around the world and evaluating whether these circulating strains may impact COVID-19 vaccine development.
The pooling of resources and expertise from 189 countries through COVAX and the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator is unprecedented. How will this cooperation change the development and distribution of vaccines in the future and improve global preparedness for the next pandemic?
Ultimately, COVAX is about providing equitable global access to COVID-19 vaccines, but it is also more than that: it is a model for international cooperation that shows governments can put aside national interests in the pursuit of a goal greater than any one of them could achieve on their own. We believe that the spirit of COVAX, the lessons we will learn, and the infrastructure and expertise we are building will help us be better prepared to respond to pandemics and other global emergencies in the future. In this respect, we hope that the framework we have now built with the ACT Accelerator will be triggered when the next pandemic appears, rather starting from scratch. It is vitally important that we build resilience to future pandemics.

A New Wave of Alternative Protein Products with New Wave Foods’ Michelle Wolf
Michelle Wolf, cofounder and chief executive of New Wave Foods, describes how industry culture, innovative solutions and a thriving market paved the way for New Wave Foods to make an impact from coast to coast.
Alternative protein continues to evolve as manufacturers, chefs and college students break into untapped ingredients that can replicate the taste and texture of the real deal. For Michelle Wolf, cofounder and chief executive, New Wave Foods is a way to make a definitive impact in the food supply chain by distributing her shrimp to restaurants across the U.S. While also reducing the carbon footprint of shrimping, New Wave Foods’ shrimp products serve as mimics that are safe for seafood allergies and safe for our oceans.
Wolf states that using ingredients like seaweed and mung bean allows for an alternative protein product that positively impacts that environment, while also catching the attention of Forbes, Tyson Ventures, and consumers with food allergies that wish for a fine-dining seafood experience.
June 5, 2023
As a business journalist, writing about what’s going on at the retail level is a no-brainer. Precise and reliable sales data, at a granular level, is widely available, primarily through Circana. And within certain parameters, it’s available to the press at no charge.
So I have fallen into the trap of overlooking a channel of vital importance to the alternative meat industry.
The food service sector is far more difficult to find hard data on, in no small part because of its diversity and lack of standardization. What’s happening at Applebee’s has nothing to do with what’s on the plate at Momofuku, which is only distantly related to what’s on the menu at the medical center. University dining halls are another eco-system entirely.
I got a swift kick in the pants, though, walking the floor at the National Restaurant Show, staged last month in Chicago. The 2023 expo featured 68 alternative protein companies, of which 26 (by my count) were alt-meat-related. I don’t have a list of the 2022 exhibitors, but based on the number of alt-meat company reps I spoke with who said they were exhibiting for the first time, the increase in participation is substantial.
The New Wave of Plant-based Foods
May 30, 2023
A key takeaway from the 2023 National Restaurant Association Show is this: a new wave of plant-based foods has made landfall.
In fact, given how many booths had plant-based items on offer, more waves will be crashing ashore. Plant-based items had a presence inside every building at McCormick Place in Chicago. For those who haven’t attended to show, McCormick Place has well more than two-million square feet in exhibit space.
There were, of course, the plant-based standards to which we’ve all grown accustomed. Burger patties, breakfast sausages, “chicken” nuggets, “pepperoni” pizzas… However, we now know there’s more innovation on the way.
Years ago, F&B experts declared seafood alternatives as the “holy grail” of plant-based foods. The race has been on to “crack the code” and offer seafood alternatives that look, cook, and taste like their animal counterparts.
One brand that appears to have reached their goal? New Wave Foods. And their staunchest culinary supporter? The revered and iconic Chef Brian Duffy.
Why Food-Service is a Common Sense Go-To-Market Approach
A Forbes 30 Under 30’ alumni, Michelle Wolf co-founded New Wave Foods with the goal of
building a portfolio of great tasting, plant-based seafoods, starting with shrimp. But why shrimp? “It’s one of the most consumed seafoods in the world and a bit of a poster child for the issues we face in the seafood supply chain,” Wolf says. “The main problem lies in volume – after beef and chicken production, shrimp is the third-largest emitter of GHGs.”

When Michelle Wolf looks out across the water from her San Francisco home office, she sees something a bit different from the rest of us.
“When you look out into the ocean, it feels vast. There’s so much space out there, it can feel like an endless resource that can’t be depleted,” she says, holding her arms wide to illustrate the expansiveness of the ocean, which covers about 70% of the earth’s surface. “But seafood consumption has a devastating impact on our oceans.”

High Tech Foods You Can Eat Right Now
November 8, 2022
Eating is one of the most natural things we do. Yet, it’s also one of the most unnatural. Ever since the advent of agriculture and domestication, humans have ceased to eat the way we used to, or the way other animals do. Most of us don’t spend our days hunting and gathering to fill our larders. Through selective breeding over thousands of years, genetic engineering in a lab, and processing in a factory, almost everything we eat has been changed or wholly created by technology.
SEAFOOD FROM ALGAE: Demand for plant-based proteins is climbing every day, and as the consumer base for vegetarian and vegan meat alternatives grows, many are looking for new ways to eat their old favorites. To date, most of the effort toward engineering fake meats has gone to the classic standbys like burgers and chicken nuggets. In recent years, however, the industry has continued to innovate, crafting meatballs, sausages, and fish patties all made from plant-based ingredients. Even with all of the great options available at grocery stores and restaurants today, plant-based customers remain limited in what they can buy and enjoy. If you found yourself craving some shrimp scampi you were, sadly, out of luck. Until now.

Leverage Sustainable Shrimp Offerings to Meet Consumer Demand
July 13, 2022
Sustainability concerns have created a sea change in how – and how often – consumers enjoy shrimp when they dine away from home. Shrimp remain the most popular seafood item across America, but consumer awareness and concerns about the environment and the ocean can make customers pause before they order. Fortunately, plant-based shrimp, with the taste, texture, and bite of ocean shrimp, enables foodservice operators to offer a sustainable, shellfish allergen and cholesterol-free alternative.

In every corner of the Show, which runs through Tuesday at McCormick Place in Chicago, there are plant-based versions of burgers, ice cream, shredded beef, sausage, shrimp, tuna poke and even a perfectly runny egg.
John Li, VP of culinary innovation at Wendy’s, said during a session at the Show that he’s been amazed by the growth of plant-based foods over the past decade, and that he can’t imagine what the next decade will bring.

Remove Hard Water Stains or Scale from around Swimming Pool
Hard water stains and mineral deposits build up around the top of a swimming pool and it isn't that difficult to remove these stains if you tackle these head-on as soon as they occur.
If you have a swimming pool outdoor in the garden, you will have noticed that the mosaic tiles around the top of the pool tend to go hazy or white along the waterline. This whitish stain is caused by mineral deposits in your water and can be tricky to remove if left to build up over a long time.
Anyone who uses a borehole to fill up their swimming pool will definitely notice this scale build up along the waterline, since water from most boreholes contains quite a bit of minerals, particularly calcium or trace metals.
If not attended to on a regular basis, or before it builds up a thick layer of scale, it can be difficult but not impossible to remove. There are two many types of greyish-white build-up that can occur around the waterline of your pool, and both are treated in a similar method:
Removing calcium silicate or calcium carbonate
While both tend to look very similar in appearance, calcium silicate is significantly harder than calcium carbonate. Calcium silicate occurs when calcium carbonate has been left to harden, and it is necessary to treat this with a pumice stone. You can buy synthetic pumice stones at Clicks, crazy store or larger pharmacy chains like DisChem. Reasonably priced, you can pick up a decent sized pumice stone for around R10 each and they will last a long time.
Regular cleaning to prevent build-up is you best option and you can treat calcium carbonate muriatic acid, that can be bought at any Builders store or pool shop. Muriatic acid is what builders use to clean cement off bricks and paving and it dissolves calcium carbonate, making it easy to remove.
If you are unable to empty the pool, which makes sense when you consider how much water is in the pool, pour muriatic acid around the edge of the pool and leave overnight. You will notice that calcium carbonate fizzes when it comes into contact with muriatic acid. However, if no fizzing occurs it means that the calcium carbonate has hardened and become calcium silicate.
After treating with muriatic acid, use a pumice stone to remove any remaining residue.
After removing any scale build-up, keep mosaic tiles along the waterline clean on a regular basis with a scrubbing brush and vinegar. A regular brushing will prevent scale build-up and keep mosaic tiles around the waterline clean and shiny.

Jan 6, 2016 6:47 PM
CONCORD - The 2016 NH Legislative session started with outrage over House Speaker Shawn Jasper’s plea for decorum - touching off a bitter feud over a bill to outlaw women bearing their breasts in public.
"We can privately and sincerely and politely speak to our colleagues when they step out of line and go beyond the bounds of decency and respect,’’ Jasper said, adding that the "eyes of the nation are on us" in this presidential primary season.
Strong talk follows after the speaker tried to block the nipple bill from coming in.
"You want to know something? That’s his opinion, what he considers - calls bad behavior - some of us believe it is freedom of speech," Rep. Dan Tamburello, R-Londonderry said.
"I believe it is an incredible irony for us to be here and lectured as if we were a bunch of third graders by our speaker."
NH1 was the first New Hampshire media outlet to report on attacks against Amanda Bouldin, the Manchester Democrat who called the bill unconstitutional and unnecessary.
"So we felt it was best to eliminate that bill from our session,’’ said House Majority Leader Dick Hinch, R-Merrimack.
But the House voted, 186-160, to turn Jasper down and keep the nipple bill in play.
The bill includes an exception to allow women to continue to breastfeed in public.
And one of Bouldin’s chief critics is not backing down.
"My comments to a colleague is 'I don’t want to see any of my colleagues’ breasts,' and I stand behind that; no apologies whatsoever,’’ Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, said.
The top House Democrat came to Jasper’s defense, though.
"This body has heard from members in such a way as to bring disgrace on this chamber and Mr. Speaker if I applaud you for the remarks you made this morning,’’ House Democratic Leader Steve Shurtleff, of Concord, said.
The vote means the nipple bill remains alive and will face a public hearing - likely later this month.

PRIZES, gifts, sponsorship and donations are being sought to make an annual children’s party even more memorable.
Malcolm Drew, the organiser of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, is hoping to attract the attention of local businesses and organisations to help next year’s bash go off with an even bigger bang.
Each year around 200 children are invited to the party, which is held for those who have been affected by long-term illness.
In recent years it has been held at the Marriott Hotel, in Southampton Road, Portsmouth, and offers an array of entertainment.
This includes visits from the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth, players and staff from Portsmouth Football Club, firefighters and engines from Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service and TV presenter Fred Dinenage.
Alongside that, children are also entertained by clowns, face painters, magicians and DJs.
Now it is in its 11th year, Malcolm, of North End, Portsmouth, wants to make the party bigger. He said: ‘We fully realise organisations must be asked to support many good causes, but any contribution will be helping some of the area’s most deserving children.
‘We need toys, gifts, fruit, sweets, raffle prizes or sponsorship. All donations will be acknowledged at the party, and you will receive a personal letter of thanks.
‘This is not intended to be a fundraising event, however, there will be a raffle, and all of the proceeds from the draw will help fund the party and help to provide trips and holidays for terminally-ill children.’
Each year children from hospitals and centres from around the area are invited to the get-together, where they can enjoy a huge party at no cost.
If you’re a company that could help call Malcolm on (023) 9266 6888 or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

For this painting, done in acrylic on canvas, I used reference photos from a hike we took in October to the top of Huckleberry Knob, one of our favorite easy local mountain trails. I chose a pose with Maggie's focus on something other than me - which is typical for this attention-deficit dog! She's been a handful since we adopted her from the local shelter as a tiny puppy in August 2013. Our frustrations with trying to capture her attention and train her have often been punctuated with the line "...good thing she's cute!" But as she matures, Maggie gets into less mischief, acts sweeter and has grown up to be a great companion for Ellie Mae.
Dog portraits are one of my favorite painting subjects, as you can easily see with a visit to my web gallery. I also enjoy commissions for family homesteads, special places, pet cats and horses. More details on my commissioned artwork - including sizes, pricing, and tips for providing reference photos - are here.


For the first time, Berlin has a record of the “vertical extent” of the city which is largely very precise. In project Phase 1, an area of approx. 445 sq km, covering the entire inner city and also a large part of the southern half of the city, has been assessed. In project Phase 2, the assessment of the rest of the cities area and of the surrounding area of Berlin amounting to a total of 1,800 sq km, was also assessed. Especially with regard to vegetation, there is now a new and very suitable information base for many types of utilization.
Based on the ALK building outlines and their storey lines, amine height has been provided for each building portion. Mean height values are also provided for the vegetational items.
For the first time, roofs with a green component have been ascertained in this context, albeit, due to the data quality, they have been published only for the inner city area examined the Project Phase 1. In the context of the project, some 5,000 buildings with roofs which have been partially or completely greened have been “initially ascertained” with sufficient precision. Upon conclusion of the determination of the remaining areas of the city currently being processed, a complete overview of the city will be available. Table 1 gives an overview of the state of ascertainment of the area of Project Phase 1 (the inner city and the southern half of the city), broken down by borough.
