Gheyzanieh: Where oil flows, but drinking water does not
Gheyzanieh province boasts a population of 25,000 and is located 40 kilometres east of Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan Province. It hosts the largest petroleum companies of Iran, and produces 2 million barrels of crude oil per day. The district sits on upwards of 600 oil wells. The majority of Gheyzanieh residents are farmers or have agricultural jobs.
On 23 May, groups of Gheyzanieh residents gathered in front of the local governor's office and blocked the Gheyzanieh-Ahvaz road with burning tyres, protesting the incessant lack of drinking water, 10 days after tankers which used to supply their water stopped commuting to the impoverished area.
Police responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets and arrested two demonstrators, and photos of a young man with a severely wounded, bleeding leg went viral on social media.
The governor of Khuzestan apologised to the local residents and promised that the problem will be solved "within two weeks". However, he was likely whitewashing a negligence that is now more than 15 years old, and rehashing a tedious promise the local residents don't believe anymore.
|Khuzestan's share from its plentiful oil revenues has been close to zero|
Gholamreza Shariati, the governor, whose name is also implicated in a major corruption case currently under investigation by Iran's judiciary, promised in December 2016 that the water shortage of Gheyzanieh would be remedied and solved "within three months". That pledge was never fulfilled.
Khuzestan is the nerve center of oil business in Iran, and produces roughly 80 percent of the country's crude. It also accounts for nearly all of the nation's natural gas production. Being an excessively oil dependent state, Iran relies heavily on Khuzestan for its day to day survival. Despite this, Khuzestan's share from the plentiful oil revenues Iran has earned in the recent couple of decades has been close to zero - nothing but destitution, destruction of agriculture, recession and forced migration of its residents to other parts of the country.
Nearly 3 million Iranian Arabs are estimated to inhabit the province of Khuzestan. They are mostly Shia, but there is also a sizeable Sunni majority. Like other Iranian minorities such as Azeris, Kurds, Lurs, Balochis, Turkmens and Gilaks, they continue to endure the agony of being ignored by the authorities who don't prioritize their concerns and don't minister to their demands.
The Iranian government, as a rule, doesn't put significant monetary resources into improving infrastructure, education and healthcare in peripheral provinces. The majority of resources are centralised in the capital, Tehran, and as a result, border provinces such as Sistan and Baluchestan, Kermanshah, Hormozgan, Kurdistan and Bushehr, share many of the challenges that Khuzestan grapples with. These include water shortages, unemployment, a lack of educational opportunities and low literacy rates, limited electricity supply, unsafe roads and inadequate hospitals and medical centres.
While little money is spent in the provinces, the lion's share of the national budget goes to sustaining ideological causes, such as training clerics in seminaries in Qom, Mashhad and other cities, and funding powerful entities such as the Islamic Development Organization.
Moreover, substantial sums are expended on furthering Iran's foreign policy missions, including strengthening its foothold in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria.
In remarks which vividly lay bare the mentality of Iranian government concerning its regional policy, Mehdi Taeb, a prominent hardline cleric and the head of Ammar cultural headquarters said in February 2013, "if the enemy attacks us and is intent on occupying either Syria or Khuzestan, the priority is to keep Syria."
So, the bottom line is that Khuzestan, despite furnishing much of Iran's wealth, is gripped with geographical misfortune and its remoteness from the capital has put it at disadvantage.
However, this is not the only reason the oil-rich province is suffering. The late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein wreaked massive devastation and mayhem across Khuzestan during the eight-year war he initiated against Iran in 1980, and the people of Khuzestan still live with the legacy of those harrowing days.
Saddam Hussein launched 2,008 aerial attacks on different Khuzestan cities, killed 5,435 civilians, ruined more than 23,000 houses, annihilated half of the historical fabric of the city of Dezful, destroyed 15 oil refineries in the city of Abadan and uprooted 7 million fertile palm trees.
Reconstruction efforts started after the conclusion of the war, but have been dismayingly sluggish, mostly caused by the unusual bureaucratic mazes the country has been stuck in for four decades, as well as inadequate funding allocated to the province, and incompetent officials who mostly care for their personal gains rather than serving the public.
And ethnic fault lines should also be factored in when deliberating the causes of Khuzestan's underdevelopment and impoverishment. Beginning in the early 1920s, when the Qajar dynasty was in power, Arab separatists in the province harbored ambitions to separate Khuzestan from Iran and establish an independent republic. They have been embroiled in armed conflicts with the forces of the government from time to time, resulting in numerous deaths, which has in turn fostered their resentment and unleashed new waves of violence and unrest in the region.
|Khuzestan is the flashpoint of a brewing humanitarian crisis and its provincial authorities are clearly unqualified to address its anguishes|
Some Iran observers suggest that successive governments of Iran, far before the Islamic Republic came into being, have deliberately neglected Khuzestan in an attempt to prevent the country's Arab minority, mostly residing in this province, from being empowered, keeping them instead at the mercy of Tehran. This is a policy the Islamic Republic hasn't reversed.
And Khuzestan hasn't been lucky in environmental terms, either. It has been repeatedly struck by extreme weather conditions, and in 2018 lived through an unprecedented drought, the likes of which had not been seen in some 60 years.
According to the local authorities, 96 percent of the area of Khuzestan was affected by "very extreme drought" and the remaining four percent recorded "extreme drought" in this year. The annual budget apportioned to Khuzestan is not sufficient to tackle the periodic droughts that erode its agriculture and prolong water shortages across its cities and villages.
Unless there is determination at the highest level of leadership in Iran to rebuild and regenerate Khuzestan, the province that is the economic lifeline of the country will continue to suffer and its pains will invariably be consigned to oblivion.
Khuzestan is the flashpoint of a brewing humanitarian crisis and its provincial authorities, including its MPs, are clearly unqualified to address its anguishes.
The water protests in Gheyzanieh merely serve as a reminder to the supreme authorities of the Islamic Republic that Khuzestan needs help, and it should be offered before the crisis is unhealable.

Maybe it’s the fact that there are only three instruments playing, live in the studio, that accounts for the amazing recording quality. Nobody knows, certainly not us, but the one thing we can say for sure is that you will have a very hard time finding a guitar trio album that sounds remotely as good as this one does.
And the music is by The Duke himself. How great is that? Can’t fault the song choices in any way; they’re all classics: Satin Doll; Sophisticated Lady; I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good); In A Mellowtone; Don’t Get Around Much Anymore; Do Nothin’ ‘Till You Hear From Me and more.
Watch for more Joe Pass albums coming to the site. After hearing this album, and enjoying the hell out of it, we’re hunting down everything we can get our hands on to audition. I’d be surprised if we find another album with sound this good, but in the land of records you just never know.

At a temporary shelter for the people of Langtang village which was almost completely wiped out by the April earthquake reside 38-year-old Lakpa Tamang and her eight year-old daughter Lachhi, who studied in Kathmandu.
For Lakpa, her husband who worked in a cheese factory in the village died before her very eyes, while her son Dukkey Tamang, the “apple of her eye”, was carried away by the wind of an avalanche that killed him as he hit a stone. One of the most beautiful trekking destinations near Kathmandu, a massive glacier cracked following the earthquake creating an avalanche that buried Langtang village killing over 200 people, with hundreds more unaccounted for.
While little Lachhi nurses a cornea infection back in the camp, what she keeps asking her heart-wrung mother is if her dad and brother are coming back soon.
This is the story of one family facing the brutal repercussions of an earth quake that hit not once but twice, along with innumerable aftershocks.
Witnessed and recounted by Saagar Chhetri, a professional photographer in Nepal, he is just one among the many contributors to Nepal Photo Project(NPP), a platform that is working towards aggregating critical and accurate information about the earthquake and its aftermath.
May 15 kathmandu Lakpa's story Photograph 1/2 I was in the temporary shelter camp for the rescued langtang peoples where I met Lakpa Tamang, 38 and daughter lachhi. lachhi, 8, was studying in kathmandu, lakpa's husband used to work in the cheese factory in langtang. Couple lived in the langtang village with their elder son Dukkey Tamang meanwhile, managed to send Lachhi to a proper school in kathmandu. Lakpa brusts into tears, while she shares her story, she saw her husband dead on spot in front of her bare eyes, while the apple of her eye, Dukkey, was carried away by the wind, caused by the avalanche, and thrown on a stone. Dukkey was already dead while Lakpa tried to grab him, mid avalanche, but lakpa's sister Ganga Tamang pulled by her hair and stoped her to risk her life and let bygone be bygone. Now lakpa along with her two younger sister and their single childrens are living in a temp shelter at the Yellow Gumba, kathmandu re-united with her 8 year old daughter, Lachhi. Lachhi has infection in her eyes, It looked like cornea infection, so nobody has shared anything with Lachhi. Lachhi was very happy to see her mom, aunts and cousins and was asking if her dad and brother were also going to come. lakpa fears if Lachhi knows the truth it will hurt her eyes pretty bad. My heart wrenched in pain, I felt it deep. while talking with them inside their congested tent I was constantly sweating. I wonder how will they live in this summer hot kathmandu inside the tents.

Initiated by Sumit Dayal, a photojournalist who grew up in Kathmandu, and now resides in India, the project is a spin-off of a feed called the India Photo Project that acts like an informal collective showcasing contemporary photography out of India. The NPP, on the other hand, is more an aggregated stream of images and information coming out of Nepal covering the aftermath of the earthquake which they considered the best way to collectively put out information from people that they could trust on the ground, all under one banner
According to Tara Bedi, the editor of NPP, the parameter for what they post online is kept simple. “… it should communicate something purposeful or meaningful - be it the damage/devastation, links to reliable fundraising campaigns, photographs of missing people so they can be circulated as widely as possible, coverage of rescue/relief operations, citizen volunteer initiatives, volunteer opportunities, links to resources like quakemap.org that is essentially a crisis response website, other relevant articles/images.
A lot of information has been carried on media about the Nepal earthquake aftermath. According to Bedi, the vibe of NPP is different, as it allows its photographers the freedom to “express in a more 'real' and humane way and I think people connect to that,” she says, in an email interview.
Though there is a community of photographers who contribute to NPP, what’s most interesting about the project is that its list of contributors is dynamic. “it keeps growing as and when we discover new, relevant posts," she says.
While pictures of death and destruction found major presence, so did stories of hope. A few days after the first earthquake, even as the country withstood repeated aftershocks, a one photographer shared a picture of his childhood friend getting married. “it brought some much needed mental relief. Though it's a long road to recovery, life is slowly trying to move back to normalcy,” wrote Sachindra Rajbansi, a few days ahead of the second earthquake that hit them again.
“We realised that the big one had come. Life changed over night. Coping with loss became difficult as loss was felt at multiple levels – cities were destroyed, people were dead and many had no homes to get back to. Parks filled up with tents and there were no shops to go and buy foodstuffs.
Everyone says that relief came fast, but every moment on the ground seemed so long,” he says about his experience after the quake.
May 9, 2015. And as they say, life goes on. Today I attended my childhood friend's wedding, and it brought some much needed mental relief. Though it's a long road to recovery, life is slowly trying to move back to normalcy.

From the kind of responses NPP has received by relatives and friends of those living in Nepal, it has served an immense help for those reaching out to their loved ones, or those trying to witness and understand what the nation is hoping to do - rebuild their homes, brick by brick.
Worked up in Ghusel area yesterday... Steep mountain top villages 6k ft elevation, gnarly almost impassable dirt roads just to get there. Almost 90% of every village up there is completely leveled. And no one has really been there because the access to it is so hard. One thing I noticed tho was that in most of the fallen structures, the doorways were still standing Lesson learned: all that shit they told us in school as a kid when an earthquake hits, stand in the doorway etc... That is real! These folks have an incredibly long recovery ahead but they are so damn tough. I've been impressed by them everyday. They get there.

A cup of two a day to keep herself clean. That's all Shreeya's got. Water. Its something we often take for granted in the western world - we just turn on a tap and clean water gushes out. Voila! That's certainly not the case here - an estimated 4.2 million people (think about that number for a second...) are urgently in need of water, and the sanitation and hygiene it brings. With overcrowded tents spilling out into just about any open space and the waste that that brings with it starting to pile up, comes the worry of disease, many linked to access to clean water... Aid organizations are scrambling to do what they can, but the sheer numbers (and crazy logistics) are difficult to contend with.

This is Mrs. Shrestha, mom to Manjil and Raj, at a tea house just off Nayabazar. It was taken at about 4.30pm. A little over 45 minutes later another large shock jolted the city. So here's the thing. There was the "Great Earthquake' on 25 April. And the second big one on 12 May. Everyone saw them, heard about them just took turning on the TV or opening the paper. Body counts, reporters atop temples doing stand up's... It was live, it was a disaster, it was, like these things often are on TV, a little addictive. You wanted to see what happened next. But what was next is largely unreported. And difficult to put words or images to. There have been OVER ONE HUNDRED aftershocks registering a magnitude of 4 or more on the Richerscale. Each one sends people running and crying to open space. Terrified. It's not something you simply get used to.Wounds are reopened, fresh scars etched into the psyche. The psychical scarring of the landscape temples homes, shops are slowly by surely being cleared. Plans are being made for rebuilding (or not...). The continuing instability and the powerlessness it brings though especially for a parent such as Mrs. Shrestha is something that is not subsiding. I can only think it is like being attacked, and then seeing your attacker again and again and again.

Nepal, a Himalayan country is famous for its trekking trails. Through out the northern part of the country, such trails take your breath away. These trails are the lifeline for all the villagers living around them. Since the terrain reduces chances of farming, locals rely mostly on tourists that take these trails towards their destination. On April 25th Nepal shook, and the devastation it left behind was enormous. Immense devastation was felt in Langtang valley, one of the most beautiful treks in the country. An avalanche of ice and rocks almost decimated the valley on 25th April 2015. The second earthquake left Langtang valley completely deserted. All the survivors are now living in a tented shelter in 'Yellow Gompa' near Swayambhu. Yesterday, 14th may 2015, two days after the second earthquake, I met Penjom Tamang, 30, living in a tent with her husband and 2 sons at the Yellow Gompa. She had tears in her eyes when she told me that everything they had is gone. Penjom and her husband had owned a lodge (Evening View) which was their means of survival.

Lok Sabha approves law making instant triple talaq a criminal offence
31 December 2017, 12:59 | Francis Delgado
Bill criminalising triple talaq introduced in Lok Sabha
The passing of the triple talaq Bill, officially known as the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017, on the same day as it was introduced, without incorporating any of the suggested amendments from the political Opposition, and without consulting any of the stakeholders - the Muslim women activists who led the fight against instant triple talaq leading the Supreme Court to pronounce it "unconstitutional and void" in August this year - sets a unsafe precedent.
Clarifying that the husband can always apply to the magistrate for bail, Prasad said that not only does the proposed law declare instant triple talaq void and illegal, it also makes such a pronouncement punishable with a fine and imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years.
If the Congress joins the BJP in supporting the bill, it would have a smooth passage and many Muslim women would swerve towards it (the Congress) when it comes to electoral politics.
Congress members protested the introduction of the National Medical Commission Bill by Health Minister J P Nadda, demanding that it be sent to the parliamentary standing committee for thorough scrutiny. The Bill effectively criminalises talaq-e-biddat, or instant triple talaq from a Muslim husband to his wife, whether granted orally, or via a written text on WhatsApp, SMS or email, among other forms.
Conspicuously, none from the Trinamool Congress participated in the discussion.
Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad speaks in the Lok Sabha in New Delhi on Thursday during the winter session of Parliament. Party sources said the decision had to do with the party's electoral compulsions in West Bengal. "Women of other communities have enjoyed legal protection but Muslim women have suffered; in this regard, we welcome the bill". She said all doors for reconciliation in a marriage would shut once the husband goes to jail. He said the SC had asked the government to pass a law on the matter. "We were expecting that after this judgment, triple talaq cases would come down and situation would improve... but... about 300 triple talaq cases happened in 2017 and 100 were reported after the Supreme Court's judgment", he said, adding that there was one report of a woman being given triple talaq merely because she woke up late in the morning. She said the government should not isolate a single community, and instead let family courts intervene to send estranged couples for counselling.

text: Affective dysregulation (AD) is characterized by irritability, severe temper outbursts, anger, and unpredictable mood swings, and is typically classified as a transdiagnostic entity. A reliable and valid measure is needed to adequately identify children at risk of AD. This study sought to validate a parent-rated screening questionnaire, which is part of the comprehensive Diagnostic Tool for Affective Dysregulation in Children (DADYS-Screen), by analyzing relationships with comprehensive measures of AD and related mental disorders in a community sample of children with and without AD. The sample comprised 1114 children aged 8–12 years and their parents. We used clinical, parent, and child ratings for our analyses. Across all raters, the DADYS-Screen showed large correlations with comprehensive measures of AD. As expected, correlations were stronger for measures of externalizing symptoms than for measures of internalizing symptoms. Moreover, we found negative associations with emotion regulation strategies and health-related quality of life. In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, the DADYS-Screen adequately identified children with AD and provided an optimal cut-off. We conclude that the DADYS-Screen appears to be a reliable and valid measure to identify school-aged children at risk of AD.

Give Us This Day
By June Foster
Bellewood Series, Book One
Desert Breeze Publishing
c. February 1, 2012
From the moment Holly gets stuck in an elevator with neighbor Jess and his heartfelt prayers to God, neither of them let her go.
Dental hygienist Holly Harrison is running from more than her past. Even handsome Jess Colton, a systems analyst, who makes her keep her promise to attend church if she survived the elevator, can’t force her into forgiving herself, let alone trust him – or God.
Overweight Jess uses food as a crutch, never dreaming Holly’s secret is close to his own. Compensating for stress, girlfriend and family issues, Jess had let himself overcompensate with an unhealthy lifestyle that only allows him to beat himself up. Will anything help he get out of this terribly self-destructive cycle?
When Jess’s preoccupation with food and its consolation threaten his livelihood, and Holly’s fears of revelation keep her prisoner from enjoying life to its fullest, these two souls turn to each other. But is love and faith enough to overcome their deepest doubts in themselves and each other?
Give Us This Day is a wonderful story that lets readers explore our insecurities without the fears of getting burned or judged – exactly what’s needed in a fantasy world of twenty-something cuties, wounded widows, endless Amish, and prairie dust. Thank you, June!
With wonderful sensory images, the surprises keep unfolding in this delightful and refreshing romance of unlikely souls learning to love themselves as well as each other.

2020-07-02Facebook post thanking people for their contribution to the Chevra Hatzolah 'Beyond the Crisis' fundraiser. The post says: "During the Pandemic, Hatzolah’s focus has been directed at continuing our emergency response, Responder and patient safety, and community education through online media. Working together with community groups such as the Covid-19 Taskforce, CSG and Ambulance Victoria, keeping our community safe was the primary objective. However we also incurred huge expenses and needed to replenish funds used to purchase large volumes of expensive PPE, and still have enough for us to emerge and grow Beyond the Crisis. All of us at Hatzolah Melbourne have been humbled by the outpouring of moral and financial support during the “Beyond the Crisis” campaign, and express our sincere thanks to the community. In spite of the financial strains being felt across the board, the community has shown us incredible support and we are extremely grateful. We wish everyone good health, and look forward to continuing to serve the community, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
2020-07-26Chevra Hatzolah encouraged people to consider those with hearing difficulties while wearing a mask: "😷 Please consider those with hearing difficulties whilst wearing a mask. 😷 Please: - Be patient - Speak louder but do not yell - Articulate your words - Speak slowly - Use your hands and body language (gestures and pointing) - Move to a quiet place - Use alternative methods to communicate e.g. text Information is sourced from: https://www.deafvictoria.org.au/coronavirus/ Wherever you can, keep 1.5 metres apart from others, wash your hands often, and cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow.

Action is an easy concept to understand, and it holds the attention as long as it's on screen. One doesn't watch a action movie to grasp some deeper meaning ; the motive is enjoyment, not spiritual enlightenment. When this attitude is taken towards the martial arts films, "Hong Kong", as a place and culture became as a style, devoid of foreignness for the viewers. For people who know and follow this art, it's not just a defensive technique, it's a way of life which makes you a better and strong person. These films are one of the purest genre of action movies. This genre has inspired many boys and girls to take up martial arts as a hobby and making it a global phenomenon.
The BeginningThe first martial arts films out of China did not feature authentic martial arts. It involved artificial elements usually with supernatural abilities such as sword sorcerers, palm powers, and flying. Martial arts films discarded the more stage-driven elements of the earlier films and replacing them with authentic martial arts forms, weapons, and styles, also secured the role of the martial arts instructor as an invaluable member of the production team.
American ImpactMovies have always been an influence on American culture. Martial arts in particular have has an effect on American culture, which in turn has contributed greatly to how we view martial arts in general. Even the language are different, the ideas behind the films may be a lot more familiar than one might realize. The format relies less on literary devices and more on non-stop action.
The 1960's were the golden era of the Hong Kong studios , but distribution was limited to Asian countries. This all changed when Bruce Lee came onto the screen. He had something that others at the time didn't : a personality and charisma that translated well to the screen. Many of his contemporaries at the time were excellent martial artists, but they did not present a compelling persona outside of their skills. Not only did he present a realistic view of how martial arts are done , but defined a whole genre.
Martial Arts In JapanJapanese martial arts films are a direct contrast to the Hong Kong style. The Japanese samurai film brings not only sword fighting and action , but "philosophy, and complex states of mind. Because of the many underlying metaphors, such as falling cherry blossoms symbolizing the suddenness of death , may be instantly recognizable to Japanese audience, but are less than obvious to others. Therefore, it may be no surprise that the samurai film is set slightly more to the side in the public eye than the Hong Kong martial arts movies. That is not to say, however, that these films have not made an impact.
When martial arts were introduced to movies, they didn't just make people want to be superhuman and sign-up for classes ; they revolutionized the concept of fighting. For instance, until the 1970's fights were fought with the hands. If one used their feet , then they were considered a crybaby. Now, if one just started swinging they would look clumsy and lacking in skill (not including boxing). The full body is used to fight, and the victor uses theirs more efficiently.
For audiences, violence has always been a part of children film and television programming. Nowadays , with the inclusion of martial arts and a little comedy films such as Kung-Fu Panda , showcase actual fighting to younger viewers. Another example is the movie Karate-Kid. A classic tale of the underdog rising above his enemies.
In today's movies, we see some of our favorite actors being given pre-production training in martial arts and the type of choreography that you would only ever have seen used with someone like Jackie Chan or Jet Li in the past. But movies now rely so much on special effects and very little martial artists. That's what the movies are missing these days. Though there are few hopeful movies like 'Ip Man.'
Mega trendsetters like Matrix series has directly contributed to the entire video game industry, because of martial arts. All of this would not have been possible , if a few people in the begining, had not given the world , a taste of how martial arts can really be. Finally, I'd like to conclude with a quote from Bruce Lee:
"The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups."

Northern California quintet, SonoMusette, recaptures the moody, melancholic sound and spirit of mid twentieth-century Paris. French chanteuse, musette accordion, gypsy-jazz guitar, upright bass, and drums combine to revive the enchanting songs of the French Café society. This music has retained its power to charm and transport listeners, and SonoMusette taps that nostalgia with artistry in both vocals and instrumentation. Inspired by the great performers of that era, such as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, and and Django Reinhardt.

I was bullied after coming out as trans – it takes courage to be who I am
Sign up for the Hot Topics newsletter for hot style and sex tips
From not being accepted by her family to being sexually harassed, a transgender woman has revealed the hurdles she has had to overcome.
Melissa Griffiths, from Melbourne, Australia, was 10 years old when she first realised she was different to the boys around her.
Later coming out as a transgender woman was challenging and difficult for her as she didn’t know how her friends, family, coworkers and the general public would react.
While she has come a long way, Melissa spoke exclusively to Daily Star about the difficulties she has faced.
“Telling your parents that you are now a female and starting the process of transitioning is not an easy thing to do,” she told us.
“My father told me he accepted it before he died however to this day my mum doesn’t fully accept it.”
While Melissa says her mother hasn’t been supportive, she thankfully has a few close friends who are.
The 51-year-old added: “When you come out … it can be scary as you feel your way in life knowing that everyone close to you now knows who you really are in this regard.”
Melissa explained that going to new venues or nightclubs that you have never been to before can be daunting and can knock your confidence.
She said that when she went out for the first time as a transgender woman she dealt with people staring at her as well as receiving disapproving glares from bartenders.
Melissa has also had to overcome people’s prejudices and lack of acceptance of transgender women.
“Having people who are close to you reject you or no longer want to be friends with you because you tell them that you are transgender female and going to live as such full time like I did meant I felt like an outsider or unwanted,” she said.
“Overcoming being bullied, harassed and sexually harassed was also quite challenging. Whilst I don’t talk about this much now it leaves scars and you question people’s motives for doing so whilst trying to come to terms with why me?
“Learning how to handle the glares or stares from members of the public when out for dinner with a friend was a learning curve.”
While there may have been a variety of negative experiences, Melissa says there have been far more positive ones.
Melissa has helped introduce a gender identity policy at the Victoria Racing Club and has been able to speak at various events by sharing her story and raising awareness about transgender people.
She also received an Australia Day Achievement Award in 2019.
“These highlights help remind me to keep going on those days when I feel like society still doesn’t get transgender people or feel a bit glum,” she said.
“Also sharing my story on Facebook as well as LinkedIn has helped people become more understanding of transgender issues as time goes on.
“I have continued to share my story which means people see the good days as well as sharing how I feel sometimes on a bad day. “
Melissa explained that she knew she was different when she was a young child but didn’t know what she could do about it.
“This was in the days of no internet and at that stage, as a child, I never heard the terms gender identity or transgender,” she said.
“I knew then that there was something wrong but never really understood what without being able to research it and at the time probably too scared to ask anyone or thought about doing so as to why I felt so different to the other boys.”
Being brought up in Auckland, New Zealand, in the 70s and 80s, people’s attitudes were a lot different compared to now.
“If I told someone back then I thought I was a girl I probably would have either been sent to a psychologist to ‘correct’ my behaviour/thinking or told I was going through a ‘phase’,” Melissa explained.
“Knowing I was different meant that I was shy and often if played with or hung out only with one other boy at intermediate school.
“Mentally I was confused and scared of what I was not fully grasping why I had been born this way at that time.
“Emotionally I was reserved and quiet as I was also dealing with parents often fighting at home being caught in the middle as a lonely child.”
Melissa says it took her a while to come to terms with her gender identity, which she achieved through counselling and talking to her inner circle of friends.
Now her main goal is to educate the general public about the pain that transgender people go through to be their true selves.
“The process we go through individually to make the decision to come out, live full time as such can be challenging," she said.
“I wish people knew about the anxiety and panic attacks that I have had in the past going through transition and even now, some days I feel anxious because I worry about not knowing when I will be having any more surgery, let alone if I'll ever be able to afford it.”
Melissa also pointed out that none of the medical visits, medication or surgery associated with transitioning is covered.
When it comes to surgery as a transgender woman, you can consider having breast augment surgery, facial feminisation surgery, gender reassignment surgery and voice surgery.
Melissa explained further: “If you decide to only have gender reassignment surgery or facial feminisation surgery you have to consider electrolysis to remove all your facial hairs or genital hairs. Whilst not crucial for facial feminisation surgery it is crucial for gender reassignment surgery.
“So far I have only had breast augmentation surgery for which I took money out of my pension for so by the time you take tax into account I took out nearly $20,000 (£10,898) of my pension to pay for it.”
The financial burden can be overwhelming, which is why Melissa has only had a breast augmentation surgery so far.
While she is looking at more surgery options, she is yet to decide 100% if she will do more given the costs involved.
“I also wish the general public knew that it takes a lot to come out and then acknowledge to everyone around you who you really are,” Melissa continued.
“It takes true courage to be the person you are really meant to be. Courage comes from within and finding that courage can be hard sometimes.
“However, if you find it and are brave enough like I was, then you can come out and live your life to the fullest as your true self. My final message is today be courageous, smile and most importantly be you.”

I am partial to a good old classic such as a Victoria Sponge, so I decided to make this over the weekend, which was when I discovered that I haven’t written up a recipe on here for you to all enjoy.
So I thought today would be the day as I share with you my ultimate Victoria Sponge!
- Sandwich Tin’s x 2
- Electric Whisk (Hand held or standing)
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring Jug
- Cooling Rack
- Icing Bag and Nozzle
For the cupcakes:
- 200g Softened Butter
- 200g Caster Sugar
- 4 eggs beaten
- 200g Self Raising Flour
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
For the icing:
- 100g Softened Butter
- 140g Icing Sugar (Sieved)
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- Jam – Homemade or a Jar
- Icing Sugar to decorate
1. Pre-heat your oven to 170 degrees (fan) and prep your sandwich tins with grease proof paper and butter). Then start to prep your ingredients by weighing them all out. For this recipe I weigh them as I add them to the bowl as it is an all in one method.
2. Mix all of the ingredients together until you have a smooth cake batter. Add more milk (If needed) to make it smoother, and a dropping consistency.
3. Once the mixture is at the desired dropping consistency, spoon the mixture into the the two tins. To ensure they are equal, you can weigh the tins to make sure they are the same weight.
4. Bake in oven for 20 minutes – or until golden brown and the cake spring’s back after a light touch.
5. Once cooked, turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool.
5. To make the butter cream filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy then gradually add the icing sugar. I used an electric wish to combine. Once all of the mixture is combined add and mix in the vanilla extract.
6. To ensure my cream was even, I used a pipping bag. So spoon the mixture into the bag and prep the base of your sponge.
7. To do this, I took a few spoonfuls of Jam out of the jar (I know I didn’t make my own jam this time) and my top tip here is to put it into a mug and stir with a spoon to make it a good consistency to spread on the base sponge.
8. Once you have put a layer of jam on the top of the bottom sponge, pipe on your butter cream in a circular motion around the cake. I used the largest open nozzle (not sure on the name) to do this. See screen grab below of a video I posted on my Instagram page.
9. Put the top sponge on the cake and dust with icing sugar. Then serve and eat. You can also keep it in an airtight container to save for later.
So there we go a nice and easy recipe for a Classic Victoria Sponge. In the past, I have made my own jam but I cheated a bit with this recipe, still yummy but nothing beats your own jam!
Let me know if you give this recipe a try or if you have a better/different recipe for a Victoria Sponge, theres always room for improvement – even if this iS near perfection according to most!
Until next time!

Washington (ANI): Actress Miley Cyrus and Liza Minnelli are reportedly set to make special appearances in the movie sequel of Sex & The City. According to sources, producers of the film are still trying to strike a deal with Hannah Montana star.
"They"ve asked her, but she hasn"t confirmed. Right now, they"re just holding the space for her," Contactmusic quoted an insider as saying.
However, Minelli is apparently ready to perform at a gay wedding in the film. The Grammy Legend Award winner is supposed to sing as part of the celebrations behind a gay union between characters Stanford Blatch and Anthony Marentino, played by Willie Garson and Mario Cantone.

Federal Government responds to traditional owners' Scherger complaints
The Immigration Department says staff will be available to consult with traditional owners over plans to house asylum seekers on Cape York in far north Queensland.
Late last week, the Federal Government announced plans to temporarily accommodate up to 300 male asylum seekers at the Scherger Air Force base near Weipa.
Traditional owners have raised concerns that they were not consulted about the plans.
The Immigration Department says staff are travelling to Weipa in the coming week.
The department says the men will be housed on Australian Defence Force land, but defence and immigration departments will outline their proposals to traditional owners.

SMU, along with many other institutions and companies, is continuing to review two separate and distinct federal mandates requiring COVID-19 vaccinations and other protocols for employees:
- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), which applies to organizations with more than 100 employees; and
- Executive Order 14042, which applies to organizations with federal government contracts or subcontracts.
Both of these federal mandates potentially affect SMU. However, both are also facing legal challenges. The OSHA ETS has already been halted temporarily by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals this past weekend. As decisions are made, the University will provide specific information about how these mandates will impact you and the campus going forward.
As always, we encourage our campus community to:
- Go to the secure SMU Health Portal to upload your vaccination card if you have already been vaccinated at an off-campus location.
- Schedule an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination at the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center through this link if you are not already vaccinated.
SMU employees at all levels have worked hard to maintain a healthy campus while carrying out our educational mission. Thank you for all you do.

This year, Lantern Festival, which marks the end of Spring Festival celebrations, falls on the same date as the Western celebration Valentine's Day. But the two festivals may have more in common than first thought. Yuan Quan and Zhou Runjian from China Features report.
Valentine's Day takes on a new meaning for many Chinese this year as it falls on what happens to be the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
Heated online discussions are taking place about how to split the celebrations between lovers and families, as the Lantern Festival, which marks the last day of the Lunar New Year celebration, is conventionally regarded as a day to spend time with familily members.
But some people have dug into the festival's origin and found that it was traditionally a romantic day, when young couples in ancient times made secret dates at lantern fairs, giving the overlap of the Chinese and Western festivals a new meaning.
"Many legendary love stories start with an encounter on the Lantern Festival, so it can be viewed as a Chinese version of Valentine's Day," says Wang Laihua, a Chinese traditional culture researcher with the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences.
In ancient China, women grew up at home and rarely had the chance to go outside to meet people. But the Lantern Festival was an exception. On that particular day, young women were allowed to go outdoors at night to see the lantern displays, offering them an opportunity to meet young men.
There have been many ancient Chinese poems depicting romance on the night of the Lantern Festival. These stories have been passed down for generations and are still appreciated by people today.
However, the traditional festival is not all about romance. Lion and dragon dances, acrobatic performances and fireworks are all features of this special day. Children try to solve riddles that decorate the colorful lanterns and are often rewarded with gifts if they get the right answers.
Celebrations vary from place to place, but eating yuanxiao, or sweetened rice dumplings, is common across the country, and the tradition has been passed down through generations.

The East Village block at Park and Market streets integrates a 34-story residential tower, a USCD downtown campus, an historic building, retail and a public plaza. A clear narrative provided a unifying through-line encouraging a more rich user-experience for the block. Based on the significance of UCSD arriving in the urban center, improved neighborhood connectedness of the trolley Blueline and a long history of regional innovation, the interplay of art and science became the broad premise that informed decisions on interior design, landscape, public and interior art and sculpture and plaza programming.
Each of the 34 floors of the tower open to backlit artwork built from collaged UCSD life-science imagery. An interior lobby rock-sculpture installation is based on the murmuration movements of nature. The SD Commission for Arts and Culture project commissions include the wonder of art and science as a starting point for the many contributions of regional artist/artisans/makers. The Park and Market public plaza programming is guided by the premise of shared wonder in both the arts and sciences, including children’s, cross-border, community, university and regional celebrations of culture in this newly activated Park and Market urban block. The project premise and thematic execution was directed and managed by Miriello Grafico.

Devils Heading to Washington
Published: July 2, 1995
No one knows whether the Devils will be in New Jersey or Nashville next season, but the 1995 Stanley Cup champions announced yesterday that they are packing their bags for a trip to Washington next week.
As talks aimed at keeping the Devils in New Jersey continued this weekend between team officials and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, the Devils said they had been invited to the White House on July 10.
The negotiations between the Devils and the sports authority, which runs the Byrne Meadowlands Arena where the team plays, have been going since the Devils announced on Tuesday that they were terminating their lease as of July 6.
Both sides are trying to make a deal before tomorrow's hearing in Superior Court in Hackensack on the authority's request for a temporary restraining order to keep the Devils from terminating their lease.

Conclusion: In every way, DJ Hero 2 is an exceptional successor, and a great rhythm game for this year. If every sequel could improve as much as this one has, in as little time, the game industry as a whole would be producing triple-A games so regularly that it would be commonplace. And we’d love it.
Excerpt: I thoroughly enjoyed DJ Hero and I was saddened to hear that the game didn’t sell as well as they hoped it would. Thankfully, they released a sequel and listened to some of the criticisms from the gamers this time around. I’m also happy to get more use out of my plastic turntable (which is required for playing the title). If you missed out on the turntable from the last game, you can still buy DJ Hero 2 with or without it.
Pros: Slicker Interface; DJ Battles add a nice touch; more room for song personalization.
Cons: While the track list is decent I liked the DJ Hero set list better.
Excerpt: I don't consider myself much of the "club" type, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't fantasize about being behind the turntables at a bumping nightclub because of DJ Hero 2 . Since last year's breakout hit, I have been itching (and scratching) to get back behind the deck for more megamixes. With DJ Hero 2 , I know that I can have an awesome club experience at home without the guilt or shame of late night drinking ruining my fun afterwards.
Summary: Living rooms will transform into nightclubs to let budding beat chemists, singing sensations and all of their friends party together by firing up two turntable controllers and a microphone to experience their favorite music as they've never heard it before in DJ Hero 2.
Excerpt: When I reviewed the original DJ Hero last year, I didn't expect it to be on my top five list. The game just took me by surprise and turned out to be quite enjoyable, not to mentioning conjuring up some impressive mashups out of some songs which I didn't even like by themselves. Needless to say DJ Hero 2 carries on that formula, but this year the concentration is on freestyle gameplay.
Excerpt: Why must this time of year always be so busy? It’s school holidays, Christmas time for those that celebrate, holiday trips are being planned, loads and loads of shopping needs to be done, you’re going out with friends,
Conclusion: Absolutely a blast, the single player Empire mode is fun and doesn’t have any silly fluff, just straight scratching and increasing difficulty level of songs. Multiplayer has been greatly improved offline and online for the PlayStation 3.

Annual bluegrass is one of the most common weeds of turfgrass on golf courses, and it has developed resistance to common herbicides, threatening the profitability of the turfgrass industry that serves golf courses, sports fields and sod farms as well as commercial and private landscapes. Credit:G. Breeden, courtesy UTIA.
Annual bluegrass is one of the most common weeds of turfgrass on golf courses, sports fields and sod farms, not to mention residential and commercial lawns. Unfortunately this nemesis of pristine landscapes has also developed resistance to many common herbicides. Researchers with the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture are participating in a national effort to address what many landscape managers call an epidemic of herbicide resistance in annual bluegrass plaguing managed turf systems.
Part - USDA - Specialty - Crop - Research
As part of a $3.2 million, 15-state USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative grant, UTIA turfgrass researcher Jim Brosnan will lead a team of Tennessee weed scientists in sampling annual bluegrass populations across the state. The team will travel the state's three grand divisions to take samples from golf courses, sports fields, both residential and commercial lawns, as well as sod production farms. The sampled specimens will then be propagated in a controlled laboratory setting and tested for resistance to commonly used herbicides. The goal is to quantify the scope of herbicide resistance in annual bluegrass populations across Tennessee. Additionally, Brosnan's team will also be developing new diagnostic assays to detect herbicide resistance in annual bluegrass, researching annual bluegrass seed persistence in soil, as well as the effects of turfgrass cultural practices on annual bluegrass infestation.
"This is a landmark study bringing together weed scientists from across the United States to address the important issue of herbicide resistance in annual bluegrass. It is exciting for UTIA to be involved in an effort that will provide such comprehensive and valuable information to...

Been looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan recently and these thoughts came to mind:
Luke 10: 29 – 37 The Parable of the Good Samaritan
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Firstly, do you see the needs of others? Are you noticing or are you living in your own “little bubble?”
Secondly, the Samaritan (like the Levite and Priest) was on his way somewhere. He had planned something else.
In his case “he was travelling.”
It is always easy to help others when it doesn’t “inconvenience us.”
We are often like this:
– When I have the money, then I can give.
– When I have the time, then I can listen or help.
– When I have the skills, then I can get involved.
But that sort of help is easy! And yes, we still need to follow those promptings.
But could it be that the “interruptions” that we have in our lives are the moments where we really need to help, get stuck and get involved?
The Samaritan was travelling. He wasn’t planning on helping.
But when the need arose, when his “schedule” was interrupted… he paused (what he was doing) and helped.
You may be off to do groceries and your neighbour stops you, they need help or a listening ear, are you available?
You may be off to class and a fellow student, needs some help, are you willing to forget about yourself and help them out?
You may be off home after work and a colleague approaches you for help, are you ready then to help?
Helping is easy when it suits us.
But could it be the moments of interruption that God really wants us to get involved in?
Maybe we could see “Inconvenience” as “God in this?”

Croatia on Tuesday opened a extensive-awaited bridge connecting two areas of the country’s Adriatic Sea coastline whilst bypassing a tiny sliver of Bosnia’s territory.
Top officials and company collected in the evening for a official opening ceremony that included a flyover by army jets, speeches, performances and fireworks.
Before Tuesday, lots of Croats braved summer heat to be between the initial to cross the Peljesac bridge on foot as it opened for pedestrians forward of the formal inauguration.
Co-funded by the European Union and developed by a Chinese firm, the tasteful, cable-stayed bridge with six pylons is a scarce enterprise of its form amid issues in Europe above China’s bid to improve its financial influence by way of investment in infrastructure.
In a movie concept aired at the opening ceremony, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang claimed the bridge “illustrates pleasant relations” between his place and Croatia, but also between China and the EU.
“China and the EU present critical political forces and major world wide economic powers,” stated Li.
The 2.4-kilometer (1.5-mile) bridge spans the Adriatic Sea to url Croatia’s mainland to the Peljesac peninsula in the South, making it possible for easier accessibility to the country’s most important tourism spot — the medieval walled town of Dubrovnik.
Croatian Primary Minister Andrej Plenkovic explained the day as historic for the country, which joined the EU in 2013 immediately after splitting from the former Yugoslavia and likely through a war in the 1990s.
“I am overcome by the feelings of delight, joy and gratitude,” said Plenkovic.
The Yugoslav federation experienced no internal borders among its six republics, which include Croatia and Bosnia. But when it broke up in the early 1990s, the two sections of Croatia’s Adriatic Sea coastline were break up by a slender strip of Bosnia.
Both residents and vacationers had to move border checks, which slowed down traffic and left the inhabitants of the southern spot feeling isolated from the rest of the region.
That space involves Dubrovnik, a beautiful medieval town that has been on UNESCO’s shielded heritage listing and is Croatia’s largest tourist attraction.
The bridge ultimately turned a fact in 2017 when the EU allotted 357 million euros ($365m), which lined significantly of the 526 million-euro ($533) price tag. The China Street and Bridge Corporation in 2018 won an worldwide tender to build the bridge.
The task, nevertheless, experienced confronted criticism from Bosnia, whose officials complained of unresolved border issues and said the bridge would hamper obtain to its aspect of the coastline.
Recognised for its spectacular character and hundreds of Adriatic Sea islands, Croatia is a significant tourism desired destination, attracting tens of millions from Europe and all more than the planet each individual summer months. Tourism also is important for Croatia’s overall economy, which continues to be among the the weakest in the EU.

Madison Violet finds its muse in broken relationship
Being around an ex-lover is always tough, but touring and practically living with one has to be especially trying.
Madison Violet's Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac were a couple for about 10 years before breaking up recently. So what did the Canadian roots duo do? The Juno Award-winners wrote an album about it. "The Good in Goodbye" has been called an "open diary of their personal and professional experiences together as friends and musicians."
"We don't write the happiest albums," MacIsaac, the sister of fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, said with a laugh.
"Thankfully, the production around our lyrics can sometimes make what is, if you listen and read the lyrics, a very sad song sound a bit more uplifting. With this album, there were a lot of changes in Madison Violet as a duo. Myself and Brenley had a lot of changes in our social lives, a major break-up and a change in our relationship together."
MacIsaac said the transitional period was "quite the challenge. Being in a band is like a family, considering musicians spend nine to 10 months together.
"It's like a marriage," MacIsaac said. "Sometimes it's a polygamous marriage with you and your tour manager and your bass player. It's a challenge no matter what to keep a band going for many years. I totally respect artists that are able to keep it going, especially after such a crazy change in the relationship of the band members."
With "The Good in Goodbye," Madison Violet is hoping to crack the American market, something that the duo has avoided, not really on purpose.
"We really neglected the American market, which is a shame," she said. "I mean, you guys are so close and there's such a great music scene. We had some bad luck with immigration problems several years ago. So we got a bit scared off a while ago. I know a lot of musicians have hard times getting their work permits and stuff, but something we're really looking forward to is actually going down there and trying to make a little dent.
"It's a pretty big place to make a mark. So I know it'll take a lot of time. I see a lot of fellow musicians who work for years and it takes many years to make that dent. But we're willing to put in the effort."
The next leg of its U.S. tour begins May 17 in Ithaca, NY. Madison Violet -- the 2009 winners of the "Maxell Song of the Year Award" from the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for "The Ransom" -- is flying down as a duo.
"Over the last 12 years, we've done the majority of our touring as a duo and a lot, actually, as a trio," MacIsaac said. "This will be a duo. It's the first time we've played in America in what feels like forever. We'll be playing the majority of the tracks off our new album and also some songs form our three previous albums.
"We converse a lot with the audience. We want the audience when they leave our show to feel like they've gotten to know us -- or have gotten something from the show other than just the music. For me, if I go to a live concert and I see a band and I'm a huge of their album and I just hear them play the album top to bottom and I don't feel like I've gotten to know the artist, honestly I'd rather just sit at home and listen to the record."

Advanced Analytics Drive a Personalized Post-COVID Comeback
// By Marcia Simon, APR //
CHI St. Vincent in Little Rock, Arkansas isn’t waiting for customers to come back on their own. The health system is proactively reaching out to them, using sophisticated analytics to define the target audience with precision accuracy.
Infectious-disease specialists are beginning to give the all-clear signal to bring patients and families back for routine care. But luring valued community members back to health care facilities is proving to be a communications challenge.
Consciously or not, families have created their new normal, which may include telehealth instead of office visits, reducing the frequency of follow-ups and preventive screenings, and sometimes jumping ship to a new health care provider. How many people who canceled appointments with their PCP have rescheduled? How many women have not had a routine mammogram in the past two years? And importantly, how do you get them back?
CHI St. Vincent in Little Rock had a head start. Bonnie Ward, market director of marketing and communications for the regional health network serving the state of Arkansas, says the health system started working with Welltok about four years ago for basic CRM services, and their collaboration has grown since then.
Welltok, self-defined as a purpose-driven company committed to improving people’s total well-being, creates customized multichannel outreach campaigns for health care partners, using predictive analytics and multichannel communication such as email, text, live agent, integrated voice, direct mail, and more.
When COVID hit, CHI St. Vincent expanded its work with Welltok to reach the community about COVID protocols, and then vaccinations. Then, once outpatient imaging services reopened, they began outreach to individuals who were overdue for breast and colon cancer screenings. This is one area where people were slow to return, but the Welltok platform, used in conjunction with St. Vincent’s data, turned that around.
