Black History MonthFebruary
The acknowledgment and acceptance of a distinctive African American culture had to await the liberation of both African Americans from racial segregation in the United States and Africans from colonization in Africa. Today there is little debate about the existence of a viable African American culture, but this has not always been the case. To justify liberation from racial segregation, many historians found it necessary to portray African Americans as quintessential Americans. It was only on the cusp of the civil rights, decolonization, and Black Power movements that historians began to define a distinct African American culture. Black historian W.E.B. Du Bois and white anthropologist Melville J. Herskovits had provided the outlines of a singular African American culture, but it took desegregation at home and decolonization abroad for historians to start filling in those outlines.
—Robert L. Harris Jr. is associate professor of African American history at the Africana Studies and Research Center, Cornell University. He is the author of the AHA pamphlet, Teaching African American History.
The Man Who Started Black History Month
Carter Godwin Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950) was an African-American historian, author, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Woodson was one of the first scholars to study African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1915, Woodson has been cited as the father of black history. In February 1926 he launched the celebration of “Negro History Week”; it was the precursor of Black History Month.
When Dr. Woodson launched Negro History Week he declared that it should be celebrated in February, since that was the birth month of both Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.

Blackout Call of Duty had its final day of beta testing this past Monday and boy, did it shake up the genre! Treyarch announced changes it would be making for the full launch of battle royale mode “Blackout” in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Treyarch said it wanted to look at the biggest feedback received from the Black Ops 4 community during its beta testing and "provide some deeper insights into what we’re doing to improve the game."
Players asked for faster pickup of items and equipping improvements across the board. Another big talking point was the desire for players to speak with one another directly while playing, just as they can in Overwatch and WOW.
The full game releases on Friday, October 12, so stay tuned for more news about the game’s reception!

Email letters, April 24, 2014
National debt could bring on economic collapse
Last month our federal government reported that it borrowed $378 billion in the first five months of this fiscal year. That computes to borrowing an astounding $2.5 billion each and every day, and, if borrowing continues at this rate, our national debt will increase by over $900 billion this fiscal year. Our government is spending us into bankruptcy, and the majority of our elected officials are either too ignorant or too enamored with power to recognize it.
Comparing our government’s fiscal situation to a family that spends $50,000 a year, the family debt would be $235,000 and of the $50,000 spent, $20,000 would be borrowed. How long can this family survive before it goes bankrupt? How long can your government survive before it collapses?
In 1971 President Nixon took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard, so that now the only thing that supports our dollar is the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. government. That is almost solely based on its ability for unlimited taxing of its citizens — you and me.
Considering the laws of economics and human nature, government will tax, spend, borrow and print money until the country suffers an economic collapse, when all will suffer. Actually, we have no one to blame but ourselves as we have demanded government services and benefits far in excess of its ability to provide them, while effectively mortgaging our children’s future to satisfy our own current selfish wants.
Our only hope to avoid this economic disaster is to change our government’s ways, insist that our elected officials spend less, waste less, balance the national budget and think more about freedom and personal responsibility and less about government largess, wealth redistribution and re-election.
C.S. Lewis wrote,” No clever arrangement of rotten eggs will make a good omelet.” Many rotten, unnecessary spending eggs are in our national budget.
D51, superintendent thanked for adding security officers
Congratulations to Steve Schultz, superintendent of School District 51.
On April 15, District 51 implemented its armed security officer program at the Basil T. Knight Center. Schultz introduced the officers to the board and the attending public. They were in their uniforms and looked very professional.
He referred to the tremendous amount of work involved to bring this program to fruition, extending his appreciation and thanks to all of the members of this community who, by their hard work, made this a reality.
We want to praise him for recognizing the need and for his vision to put a security team into place, when the emotional knee-jerk reaction was NIMBY — not in my backyard. We also acknowledge him for the monumental task he took on by assembling, sifting through and refining the information to produce a plan to “protect those who cannot protect themselves, our 22,000 students.”
Manipulative politicians can control ignorant population
“Ignorance is pervasive” is part of a headline in a recent Sentinel article about what are considered scientific truths, and that is certainly the case here in the USA. Only 27 percent of Americans are extremely or very confident that Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Only 33 percent are confident that the average temperature of Earth is rising, and it is 31 percent are confident that all life on Earth evolved through a process of natural selection.
The reason for this ignorance can be placed squarely at the feet of conservatives, especially those in the conservative media and in the political arena. Anyone who believes that ignorance is bliss can certainly get a receptive ear on the Fox News Channel or conservative talk radio. These media outlets often invite people on their show who will discount any kind of scientific truth because it doesn’t agree with their religious belief or political point of view (Earth is only 6,000 years old? Really?)
Then there are the political entities in Congress, in states or on local school boards, especially in the woefully ignorant Southern states, who don’t believe in funding education at any level or who want to produce textbooks that will give ignorant ideas an equal discussion. (Creationism gets equal time or any time at all with the scientific theory of evolution in a science classroom? Seriously?)
This country can only be as great as the level of education that our people reflect. With a country filled with blissfully ignorant people, we can only be a second-class nation at best. Certainly the powerful conservative entities out there want it this way, as it is easier for them to manipulate and take advantage of the very people that they keep in ignorance.
City Council ‘panhandles’ but won’t let others put hands out
The City Council decided to ban retail marijuana sales. Now councilors put their hands out and want money from other counties that allow it. How ironic, then, to try to enact a panhandling ordinance.
It is typical of their “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. I don’t believe in something for nothing. Stop the hypocrisy and start showing some integrity.
Workers’ union president aptly criticizes Keystone XL delay
Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America, couldn’t have expressed it better April 18 when he said the following on President Barack Obama’s political policy regarding approval of Keystone XL:
“This is once again politics at its worst. In another gutless move, the Administration is delaying a finding on whether the pipeline is in the national interest based on months-old litigation in Nebraska regarding a state level challenge to a state process — and which has nothing to with the national interest. They waited until Good Friday, believing no one would be paying attention. The only surprise is they didn’t wait to do it in the dark of night.
“It’s not the oil that’s dirty, it’s the politics. Once again, the administration is making a political calculation instead of doing what is right for the country. This certainly is no example of profiles in courage. It’s clear the Administration needs to grow a set of antlers, or perhaps take a lesson from Popeye and eat some spinach.
“This is another low blow to the working men and women of our country for whom the Keystone XL Pipeline is a lifeline to good jobs and energy security.”
Clearing up misconceptions over marijuana dosages
Research should have been put into the claim stating that a medical marijuana edible containing 300 mg of THC is equivalent to 30 joints. Because of the edible’s very nature, it was more than likely made with hash of some form. Inherently, this hash won’t be 100 percent THC. Measurements in edibles are more often measurements of the amount of hash rather than true THC content.
On another note, when has 300 mg ever equaled 30 joints? Either way you take it, that’s a gross exaggeration. Thirty joints of poor quality marijuana (10 percent THC by volume) would be right around 2,500-3,000 mg of active THC. Or, in another sense, three joints of that same quality would be 280 mg, a more accurate estimation for the equivalency of the pictured edible.
And just to clear up any misconceptions, oral administration of cannabis is a completely different experience; other factors must be taken into account that aren’t present with smoked marijuana. Dosages of the two are can be compared; however, it’s like comparing apples and
Small minority should not dominate national airwaves
Please help the 96.5 percent of Americans! According to the latest estimate by the Williams Institute, 3.5 percent of Americans are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Why, then, do I hear over 10 percent on the radio and television about their problem?
This wonderful country, “The United States of America,” was founded under Christian principles. God’s word states: “It is (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) an abomination to God and Man.”
Why, then, does 3.5 percent have the cover of everything in our great country? I am sick of it and would like America to stand up and say, “No, I do not accept your problem.” It is yours, not mine, and I don’t want to hear about it.
THOMAS EARL WELCH
Some who claim to be ‘pro-life’ are indifferent to suffering of fellow humans
In his reply to Bill Grant (printed letters, April 23), Jim Welch of Montrose accuses that gentleman of using Orwellian language.
Welch may wish to reread the book “1984” and ask the question, “What is an Orwellian society?” At the same time, he may wish to view the movie “Soylent Green.” He should then ask himself what those works actually portray.
After he has done that, he may wish to read or reread many of the opinions and examine very carefully if we have not become a nation of “disposable people.”
As to the issue of abortions, I have never met anyone who is “pro-abortion.” So, there is no such thing. That includes ladies who have undergone the procedure.
Those who claim that they are concerned with “human life” should, instead of concentrating on only the “to be born” or “should be born,” pay attention to all human life — the lives of the living, as well as those of the unborn. It is quite easy to be noble, moral and virtuous when it costs us nothing to be so. The “unborn” or “should be born” cost nothing to you and me, but the living do.
Some of us find it quite disingenuous of those claiming to be “pro-life,” but have not the slightest concern or compassion for those in need already living. In fact, they don’t even see them. What about those who die prematurely (frequently in pain) because they cannot afford medical care or medicine?
What about the hundreds of thousands who are on the street, young and old alike, because they have no place to go? What about the millions of children who go to bed hungry every night because their parents cannot afford food? What about those who have lost their jobs and are unable to find another?
For those, we hear the standard canned responses, such as “it’s their fault,” “it’s their choice,” “they are lazy” and, of course, “get a job.” If we were to summarize all of those into one sentence, it would be “I am not responsible for anyone but myself.”
Sorry, but if Welch wishes to express concern for “human life,” it is first necessary to recognize every single person as a human being, and respected as such. Until people get around to that way of thinking, the rabid cries of “respect human life” will remain but words, noble sounding perhaps, but mere words.
ROBERT I. LAITRES
Media ignore Chicago gang wars, put spotlight on Bundy instead
Before Las Vegas was the biggest sin city in the world, there was the Nevada Proving Grounds. Almost 85 percent of Nevada land is owned by the federal government. It calls the shots. It detonated nukes above ground in Nevada in the 1950s, and the dust blew downwind to southeast Nevada, the site of the Bundy ranch.
Bundy should give up his ranch, like most of his neighbors. The federal government in D.C. wrote the law. He can’t win. He should sue the U.S. for exposure to radiation. A good trial lawyer will find damages. They may settle that case. It is better to collect from the government instead of having them collect from you. Isn’t that what many of our citizens do today?
Over Easter weekend more than 40 people were killed in gang wars in Chicago. I didn’t see much about this on TV or in other news. Writing too much about that would not be politically correct. The political powers in Chicago are liberal, and it’s not fair to call attention to their failures.
The faux range war in Nevada, however, was all over the news for weeks. Nobody was killed, but they were waving American flags and legally carrying guns. I feel bad for those trapped in the inner cities. Ranchers, on the other hand, will do just fine. They can take care of themselves. That is why they are so scary to liberals.
Coloradans must understand dire effects of anti-fracking bill
People of Colorado, please do your research and please take an educated stance on the anti-fracking bill. Rep. Jared Wright might be for this, but as a Colorado resident, I will stand firmly against it with JJ Fletcher, a candidate for House District 54.
Do you understand the process of fracking and the procedures? Start there. Then think about how this will affect our economy.
The lies and the stories that are being bought and sold by anti-fracking groups are unfounded. Ask a roughneck. Almost everyone in this valley knows someone who works in the oil and gas field. The standards for environmental safety in Colorado are incredibly high. I can’t urge you enough to talk with people who do this for a living and to understand how the process works. This bill could literally ruin thousands of families.
Colorado would lose over 60,000 jobs in the first five years and then up to 90,000 jobs after that. How is this going to help our economy? Where are these people going to get jobs? How will these men and women support their families? Whether you are for fracking or not, this is not the answer. The Western Slope economy is still very fragile. This could ruin us.
Also, if you enjoy driving your car, heating your house, having hot water, storing your food in plastic Tupperware containers or even drinking a bottle of water, you are consuming (in some fashion) oil or gas. Do you realize that the bottled water industry in America alone uses around 67 [ITAL] million [ITAL] barrels of crude oil in a year?
If Colorado citizens are so worried about our environment, why don’t we change what we consume? Instead of giving jobs to other countries, why don’t we support our own? Instead of worrying about the effects we are having on the environment by fracking, why don’t we start in our own homes and look at
how we are contributing to the problem in the first place. It’s always easier to point the finger out then in.
I will be standing against this bill, and I am pleased to know a businessman who will be standing strong with us.
Current cast of national characters straight out of ‘Wizard of Oz’
While I was still a young man, my wife and I and four children were invited to view “The Wizard of Oz” on a neighbor’s new color TV. It was a great experience for the whole family, especially when the set turned to full four-color effect. After thanking our neighbors for inviting us, I wondered what it would be like to live in Oz.
Unfortunately, we are now actually living in Oz or a very close proximity to that make-believe country. Why do you ask? I’ll try to explain the similarities between the motion picture and real life here in the good old USA.
The Wizard of Oz can only resemble one person—-President Barack Obama. He became the great wizard because the little people of Oz wanted him as their ruler. When asked why, they responded by singing, “Because, because, because of the wonderful things he does”. Like using the golden teleprompter, smoke, mirrors and a crystal ball.
The little people are us!—fat, happy and ignorant, enmeshed in our computers, phones, games, movies and TV programs. We march right along to the wizard’s music, ignoring our own proclamation (Constitution).
The three stooges, the tin man, the scarecrow and the lion, represent our three branches of government, Congress, the president and the Supreme Court. No brains, no heart and no courage. The tin man is similar to Rep. John Boehner; if he cries, he rusts.
The wicked witch of the west—-there are at least three, Sen. Barbara Boxer, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein. The good witch has to be Megyn Kelly of Fox News. Why? Because I like her style.
The yellow brick road has to be the Fed, it’s golden in name only. Just keep following the money. Dorothy and the three stooges must follow the road to get to where the wizard lives (so he can solve their problems) and on their way they encounter many perils. The black forest represents our foreign policy (dark, murky and no way out). By the time they got out of the talking forest and Bushes they were sick and tired of the saying “Read my lips!
The flying monkeys—-obviously, the IRS. They can come and carry you away at the bidding of the witches or any of the other three branches of Oz’s government with no recourse.
On the yellow brick road we come to the beautiful fields of colorful poppies and other weed—-think of the states of Washington and Colorado. We as a country are so spaced out we could care less about anything our officials pass or legislate. So the four heroes take a little snooze along with Dorothy’ dog.
When they wake up and continue their journey, they approach the castle (White House) of Oz where they are amazed to see the horse (donkey) of a different color — none other that Vice President Joe Biden.
Finally, they are granted entrance to the castle and an audience with the great and powerful wizard. Instantly a huge face appears before them with much smoke and mirrors, they cower in fear. The great wizard demands to know why there lowly souls would even attempt to confront him. Then an amazing thing happens. Dorothy’s dog pulls the curtain back so they can see the wizard for who he really is. The little dog can only be Edward Snowden, the so -alled traitor.
These items I have listed are only a few of the similarities I have noticed between the USA and Oz. If you can come up with any others, I’d like to hear them. I just hope, like Dorothy, that I can get out of the place and back to a sane USA. Because there’s no place like home! I just wish we had some magic red shoes to tap three times.

Accessories you need
See Recipe Community for the Coconut Cream recipe by Russell Blaikie. See the Everyday Cookbook for Cooked rice and TM chicken stock concentrate. TM chicken stock concentrate and water can be replaced with 100g of liquid chicken stock.
This makes quite a hot curry. Halve the quantity of bird's eye chillies if you prefer a milder heat to your curry. Freeze any leftover curry paste in a snap lock sandwich bags or an ice cube tray for up to three months. Substitute the prawns with about 700g skinless chicken thigh, cut into 2cm cubes. Saute the chicken as per the prawns in the recipe above, leave chicken in the mixing bowl while you add the liquids and cook over a low heat until sauce thickens. This should take about 30-40 minutes.

United Physicians, a Bingham Farms-based physician organization, has signed an exclusive franchise agreement with a Philadelphia-based digital media company and started a company to provide free televisions and educational programming on health and wellness topics to physician offices.
In a joint venture with Reliable Medical Network, United Physicians has created Reliable Health Network, a Michigan-based company, to offer physicians free flat-panel TVs and programming that can be customized to each practice specialty, said United Physicians COO Frank DeLaura.
"We have 75 offices already, and our goal is to have 100 by the end of the year," said Carla Lough, United Physicians' administrative director. She said offices started signing up earlier this year.
UP is a 1,600-member physician organization with 700 practices.
DeLaura said Reliable Health Network will generate revenue to fund the TVs and programming by selling advertisements and sponsorships to metro Detroit-based health insurers and other companies. He declined to provide the company's first-year budget or advertising sales projections.
Lough said United Physicians is talking with a variety of physician organizations, hospital-based systems and community clinics in metro Detroit about joining the network. She declined to name the systems.
Susan Hanchett, director of brand management with Dearborn-based Oakwood Healthcare, said Oakwood three years ago considered subscribing to one of the medical programming companies but decided against it because of concerns over programming control and advertisements.
"We are not opposed to getting free plasma TVs for our physicians, but we are very cautious about what we share with patients," Hanchett said. "The programming really is canned and mostly benefits the advertiser."
If it is done right, Hanchett said, educating patients on a variety of medical topics is a good idea.
"We use our own doctors to populate that content," Hanchett said. "We just decided to put that information on the Web and Facebook."
Edith Hodkinson, president of New York-based AccentHealth, said about 30,000 of an estimated 210,000 physician practice locations subscribe to specialized medical programming networks. Others have televisions in their waiting rooms with regular cable service.
Other providers of medical programming include AVTV Networks, Everwell TV and Healthy Advice.
Formed in 1995, AccentHealth has subscriptions with 12,000 physician offices with programming produced by CNN and hosted by Sanjay Gupta, M.D., a graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School.
"There are a lot of new players in this space," Hodkinson said. "The concerns (physicians have) is getting the right mix of programming that addresses the needs of the practice."
The programming will consist of 10 20-minute modules with 15 minutes of health-related content and five minutes of advertising that will be updated monthly, DeLaura said.
Hodkinson said Nielsen surveys have shown that 75 percent of patients in waiting rooms watch the shows and the advertisements.

TOKYO (July 20): Benchmark Tokyo rubber futures ended up 0.8% on Wednesday, their highest close in two weeks, buoyed by Shanghai futures and a weaker yen against the dollar.
Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) futures, which set the tone for tyre rubber prices in Southeast Asia, got support after Shanghai futures rose almost 4% in early trading.
The Tokyo Commodity Exchange rubber contract for December delivery <0#2JRU:> finished 1.2 yen higher at 159.4 yen (US$1.50) per kg, the highest close since July 5.
“Firm Shanghai futures supported TOCOM, but the market was offset by oil prices that were in doldrums,” said a source with a Tokyo-based dealer.
Oil futures were mixed on Wednesday with Brent posting limited gains and US crude trading sideways in advance of the release of official weekly inventory figures later in the day.
The dollar was quoted around 106.28 yen, up from around 105.89 yen on Tuesday afternoon, thanks to strong US data and rising expectations that the Bank of Japan will take additional easing steps.
The most-active rubber contract on the Shanghai futures exchange for September delivery rose 225 yuan to finish at 11,445 yuan (US$1,711) per tonne.
A survey of Chinese sales managers indicates that the economy is growing but at only about half the rate of official estimates, a private survey showed on Tuesday.
The front-month rubber contract on Singapore’s SICOM exchange for August delivery last traded at 130 US cents per kg, down 0.8 cent.

Quade Cummins finished 54 holes in a tie for first with Spencer Ralston and used a playoff hole to take home the Lee Trevino Trophy on Tuesday, November 20.
The Weatherford, Oklahoma native finished with a 13-under-par 200 131 on the par 71, 6,889 yard El Paso Country Club course.
Cummins was in a tie for ninth entering the final round of play and shot a bogey free final round 62 to get into the playoff and then capped it off with a birdie on the first playoff hole to win.
Ralston, who is from Gainesville, Ga., started the day in third place and finished in second after the playoff. Ralston played well consistently throughout the tournament carding rounds of 68-64-68.
This marks the first time since 2011 that there has been a playoff in the All-America Golf Classic, while it also marks the 14th tournament that the winner has been crowned after a playoff.
“I got it going on the back nine and saw the scoreboard around hole No. 14, and that is when I knew I had a chance if I could keep it going,” Cummins said. “I had two par saves on 13 and 14. I hit it in some really bad spots and got them up-and-down to keep my round going and it added up to a 62.”
Cummins shot 17 birdies and an eagle over three rounds of play. He tied the record for the best individual round with his final round of 62.
Cummins tied with Luke List (2006), Billy Horschel (2006), Webb Simpson (2007) and Gavin Green (2014). He broke the record for best final round, which was previously held by Jeremy Anderson (1998) and Sebastian Cappelen (2012).
Ralston’s 13-under tournament total eclipsed his previous best of 12-under set at the 2018 Linger Longer Invitational. He made a tournament-high 19 birdies during the tournament, including nine during his 7-under, which matched his personal best from two previous events.
Bryson Nimmer, of Bluffton, S.C., entered the final round in first but could not keep pace with Cummins, who marked a 10-under-par in on Tuesday. Nimmer shot a 1-under-par 70 in the final round of play.
- Quade Cummins: 72-66-62—200 (-13)
- Spencer Ralston: 68-64-68—200 (-13)
- Bryson Nimmer: 63-68-70—201 (-12)

‘Time and Tide Wait For No Man’ is the perfect introduction to the sound of Marcus Nand. A delineation of his musical interests and an amalgamation of his previous work, the album is an exploration on the subjectivity of popular culture and the need for people to be motivated to create artistry through intellectual stimulation and self expression. The single of the same name builds on this idea but takes a more personal twist becoming an objective observation about an aspect of life. ‘Time and Tide Wait For No Man’ essentially focuses on the self belief and self sufficiency required to get things completed in all aspects of life. Musically, the album as a whole is the first instance that Marcus has combined all aspects of his musical influences from rock and pop to flamenco and Arabic styles.
Marcus Nand’s prolific nature as a songwriter has seen him work with household names such as Rod Stewart, Rami Jaffee and Mike Inez. Marcus appeared on Rod Stewart’s latest album ‘Another Country’ and Stewart continues to be a key supporter of his work, frequently attending shows with the likes of Jimi Page and the recently deceased Chris Squire in tow. Marcus is essentially a musician’s musician and as a session musician he interacts with the world’s greatest instrumentalists on a daily basis.
With strong support behind him and a stunning album release in front of him, Marcus Nand is destined to cement himself amongst the great and good in popular music.
‘Time and Tide Wait For No Man’ is out January 22nd


All pupils from 1st – 6th class have been working on their knitting skills for the past 6 weeks. We are very grateful to all the ladies, including grandparents and grandaunts who gave so generously of their time, skills and expertise to help us pass on traditional crafts to the pupils.
Pupils in first class were learning how to knit and after loosing some stitches and finding a few more along the way, they mastered the plain stitch and knitted some lovely hairbands, wrist bands etc. The older experienced pupils learned how to cast on, cast off and knit the pearly stitch with some pupils successfully following challenging knitting patterns.
Pupils also learned some basic crochet stitches and kindly crocheted some flowers for younger pupils to attach to their knitted hairbands.
There was a great variety of wool of all textures and colours and pupils even discovered wool that they could knit with just their fingers! Take a look at some photos from our knitting below.

A capacity crowd came out to celebrate Plumas Earth Days week on April 25 and hear fascinating presentations about the complex issues surrounding the ability of humans and agriculture to coexist with wolves in the natural environment.
A free screening of Collin Monda’s 54-minute documentary “The Trouble with Wolves” launched the discussion that followed the 2019 Plumas County Community Sustainability Awards ceremony at the Town Hall Theatre in downtown Quincy. Local companies Quintopia of Quincy and The Brewing Lair of Blairsden sponsored the event.
Guest speaker Kent Laudon, a California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wolf Specialist, also presented information on the Lassen Pack and took questions from the audience.
“Wolves are a polarizing topic,” said Feather River College Environmental Studies Instructor Darla DeRuiter, who served as moderator for the evening.
“Since we’ve got the Lassen Pack right here in Plumas County, we thought this was perfect for Earth Days week,” she said, mentioning that wolves are proposed to be delisted from the endangered species list following their reintroduction into Yellowstone National Park over 20 years ago.
Scanning the audience of attendees representing all sides of the wolves issue, the moderator asked the crowd to approach the evening’s discussion with an open mind.
“We need a reasonable dialogue,” DeRuiter said. “Tonight is about multiple perspectives and, we hope, new insights.”
Warming to the serious topic at hand, she smiled and added, “We all share this one earth. After all, it’s our only source of chocolate!”
Laughter rippled through the theatre and the lights went down for the film.
Monda’s acclaimed documentary, winner of several top film awards, presented the perspectives of ranchers, park wildlife management experts, nature guides and biologists. The show also featured supporters who hold wild wolves in high regard and visit Yellowstone by the thousands each year specifically to observe the animals.
The film began by letting its interviewees define wolves from their own perspectives — as killers, wild dogs, contributing members of a healthy, functional ecosystem and symbols of the wilderness.
The film featured ranchers talking about investing a lifetime of savings and income in their businesses and being threatened by wolves as predators. Though financial compensation for lost livestock is part of the solution, the ranchers said there is difficulty in proving an animal died as the result of a wolf attack. Cattle also lose weight from their own efforts to evade the predators, which is an economic impact upon businesses.
Livestock are estimated at less than 1 percent of wolf-kills in Yellowstone, according to the top biologist for the park Douglas Smith.
Why do wolves have so many rights, asked ranchers who have received hostile treatment on social media and sometimes death threats from the public when they legally shot a wolf.
Other ranchers demonstrated creative herd management and ranching practices they have adopted in order to live in greater harmony with wolves.
Biologists, scientists and wildlife management experts provided data about the importance of maintaining a balanced ecosystem that benefits all flora, fauna and wildlife in Yellowstone. One interviewee said when nature is imbalanced, “it throws everything out of whack.”
For example, with the elimination of all wolves at the turn of the last century, the wildlife experts showed the impacts upon other species, terrain and more. They explained that elk populations rose to an extent where record harvests of elk were taken (over 26,000 in one recent year) and herds went into winter weak and ill, many unable to withstand the season.
When wolves were reintroduced in the 1990s by bringing animals from Canada to Yellowstone, the original plan was for 30 breeding pairs to reach a population of 300 wolves. With a current population of 1,700 wolves in the national park, the wildlife management specialists talked about federal discussions to delist the animals as an endangered species and ongoing reduction efforts that “basically keep the population stable.”
Other parties to the dialogue included outfitters and tourism advocates who said wolves have value in a healthy natural system where they help control the population of other wildlife. They also estimated that visitors who come to observe the wolves have resulted in over $30 million in economic activity to the region. Families and other wildlife supporters talked about what it meant to them to be able to see wolves and animals in a natural habitat.
FRC’s DeRuiter introduced CDFW’s Wolf Specialist Laudon to talk about the Lassen Pack, his career as a field biologist for 28 years and his work with wolves specifically for the last 22 years in Idaho, Montana, Arizona and New Mexico.
He currently focuses on conserving and managing wolves as they re-colonize Northern California, working on the ground conducting surveys, trapping and collaring wolves.
DeRuiter said the wolf specialist also collaborates with many citizens representing diverse interests.
“If you calculate it,” Laudon told the crowd with a chuckle, “I’ve been working with them for about 180 years in wolf years.”
The biologist talked about CDFW’s California Wolf Plan that was released in December 2016 and the department’s work collecting data on wolves and their travels. Laudon explained that a lot of data is needed to study wolves in the wild. For example, the wolf known as OR54 made the news locally when she logged well over 5,000 miles in her travels between Oregon and Plumas County.
Acknowledging the value of wolves to the ecosystem and wilderness as well as the concerns of rural residents and businesspeople, Laudon showed a series of charts and statistics one of which indicated a rancher whom he was aware of that had lost over 20 animals confirmed as wolf predation.
“It’s very important to help ranchers stay on the landscape. That’s a rancher who is paying for wolf recovery out of his own pocket,” Laudon commented.
The biologist talked about wildlife management practices and four areas in particular for wolves: control, compensation, collaboration and prevention. He also provided information about humane treatment of wolves during capture to place radio collars on the animals for tracking and research purposes.
And when questions arose about safety in the wilderness, he shared common-sense advice about being aware of one’s surroundings, taking sensible precautions for your own safety, and keeping a leash handy if you take your dog into the countryside because some documented wolf encounters involve confrontations with canines who are loose.
“Never say never,” he said. “Generally, wolves are shy of people, but dogs are another issue.”
Finishing his presentation with a series of hilarious real bumper stickers and signs he has photographed over his career across the west, Laudon had the audience in stitches with phrases such as “I wish wolves ate Californians.”
He concluded with these thoughts. “My hope is for a model that includes all of us working together. If we take the time to listen to each other, what’s good for people is good for wolves.”

The Crystal Maze returns to our screens this year, bringing along all of its outdated costumes and cheesy challenges.
For the uninformed, The Crystal Maze is a beloved game show in which a team of six contestants face various solo-challenges where the end result of each is either collecting crystals, or being eliminated. The more crystals gathered, the more time allotted to complete the wickedly fun final segment and earn a prize. It is an interesting format wonderfully realised through smart challenges, design and the lovable campness of 90s entertainment television.
Channel 4 certainly have a task on their hands in creating the entertainment of the original, but if their 2016 one-off is anything to go by, the game show’s iconic status is in safe hands. And despite the show being rooted in 90s schtick, it is a refreshing entry into a TV schedule full of uninspired quiz shows where the gimmick has long worn off – the promise of six contestants frantically attempting to complete The Maze is infinitely more interesting than watching a bygone presenter stare at discs nudging into each other a-la Tipping Point.
The one concern, and it feels very strange to write this, is Channel 4’s against-type recruitment of the hilariously deadpan Richard Ayoade as presenter. Can he muster up the frantic energy of the show’s original presenter, Richard O’Brien? Or is Channel 4 modernising an unapologetically old-fashioned tone? Yet even the cynics cannot deny the inevitable joy of a 90s classic unfolding chaotically on screen once more.

When it comes to bringing that “little something extra” to video games, especially fighting game and online titles like MMOs and MMORPGs, you can’t go wrong with giving players skins. Skins are just alternate looks for characters, one that can add some extra flair, a little extra personality. They can be for an event, or reference a classic part of culture. Blizzard has given many skins to many characters in their titles, and Overwatch is no exception.
But, despite the game being out for almost a year, some of the characters haven’t gotten any new skins. One in particular is rubbing a Battle.net user the wrong way: Widowmaker. This comes from user Goldmember, who notes that despite multiple special events (including Halloween, Christmas, Chinese New Year, etc.), Widowmaker hasn’t gotten a legendary skin.
Yet, many other popular characters have not only received a legendary skin, they’ve had multiple. Roadhog has 2 legendaries, Reinhardt recently got a new skin, Tracer had 2 skins in a row, Symmetra has 2 skins, Mercy has 2 skins, Mei has 3 legendaries from all three of the last events, and Zenyatta also got 3 Skins, Dva was another who got a skin recently, Winston had 2 legendaries in a row, and Ana has 2 skins. Yet Widowmaker? Doesn’t have one.
The post went on to note that the biggest “slap in the face” to fans of Widowmaker was that she did get a new look, but it was put on a spray, and is not actually a skin.
Others in the Battle.net community are just as mad as Goldmember, even revealing that Blizzard did do “skins” for Windowmaker, but that they were simply recolors, not full blown new outfits like other Overwatch champions had gotten. For them, it’s really sad that Blizzard isn’t listening to them, as Widowmaker is regarded as one of the most popular Overwatch characters.

There are many popular antibiotics that can be taken to eliminate acne:
1. Tetracycline - This is the most popular and prescribed antibiotic for acne. The dosage for Tetracycline varies according to severity of the acne sufferer's condition. A common dosage is 500 mg twice a day. When the acne condition improves, the dosage can be reduced to 250 mg twice a day. When acne condition further improves, dosage can be further reduced again or it can already be stopped altogether. Different from other kinds of antibiotics, Tetracycline must be taken only with an empty stomach for best performance. It cannot be taken by pregnant women (new born babies will have defects) or for kids under 9.
2. Doxycycline - Doxycycline is similar to Tetracycline. It is a synthetic derivative of Tetracycline and are all under the same family. Doxycycline had shown prove to effectively treat inflammatory acne. Doxycycline is often used for people who do not respond to or cannot tolerate Erythromycin (will be covered below) or tetracycline. The dosage for doxycycline varies from 50 mg to 100 mg also twice a day. Unlike Tetracycline, Doxycycline must be taken with food or else it can cause significant nausea. Doxycycline is more likely to increase sensitivity to the sun and cause sunburns then Tetracycline though.
3. Minocycline - Minocycline is also another synthetic derivative of Tetracycline. It is of a newer generation. While Doxycycline is good in treating inflammatory acne, Minocycline is good in treating pustular kinds of acne eg pustules and cysts. It has shown to be not as prone to antibiotic resistant as the other antibiotics but have higher chances of severe side effects.
4. Clindamycin - Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic instead of an oral one. It is normally used to treat mild to moderate acne but isn't very strong on its own. Clindamycin can work with BP (benzoyl peroxide) or Adapalene (Differin Gel) to have a synergy effect that increases both parties effectiveness but at the same time increase risk of side effects too.
5. Erythromycin - Notice the similarity in the ending of the names of the antibiotics. Erythromycin is known for its effectiveness in reducing inflammation which results in the elimination of bacteria and also the redness caused by acne. It is taken with or after food. The common dosage for Erythromycin is 250mg to 500 mg twice a day.
6. Azithromycin - Azithromycin is a new generation antibiotic which is derived from Erythromycin. There are medical trials that shows tolerability for Azithromycin is better than Erythromycin and Doxycycline. This antibiotic has minimal side effects as compared to others especially the Tetracycline family. It stops inflammation of acne by interfering with bacteria protein synthesis and thus stopping bacteria from multiplying.
The antibiotics all produces common side effects:
Candida (acne causing factor, antibiotics actually produces this too)
Vaginal Yeast Infection
Weakening of Birth Control Pills
Do not be too afraid to take antibiotics though because side effects have a low chance of happening and even when they do happen, it is most of the time mild.

Geometric phases are only dependent on evolution paths but independent of evolution details so that they own some intrinsic noise-resilience features. Based on different geometric phases, various quantum gates have been proposed, such as nonadiabatic geometric gates based on nonadiabatic Abelian geometric phases and nonadiabatic holonomic gates based on nonadiabatic non-Abelian geometric phases. Up to now, nonadiabatic holonomic one-qubit gates have been experimentally demonstrated with the supercondunting transmon, where three lowest levels with cascaded configuration are all applied in the operation. However, the second excited states of transmons have relatively short coherence time, which results in a lessened fidelity of quantum gates. Here, we experimentally realize Abelian-geometric-phase-based nonadiabatic geometric one-qubit gates with a superconducting Xmon qubit. The realization is performed on two lowest levels of an Xmon qubit and thus avoids the influence from the short coherence time of the second excited state. The experimental result indicates that the average fidelities of single-qubit gates can be up to 99.6% and 99.7% characterized by quantum process tomography and randomized benchmarking, respectively.

Winnipeg-based Monsanto Canada is preparing to donate $145,000 to some of the registered charities and non-profit organizations nominated by the nation’s farmers.
The Monsanto Fund, the company’s philanthropic arm, announced the launch of its Canada's Farmers Grow Communities program on Monday. Two grants of $2,500 will be made to worthy causes in each of Monsanto’s 29 marketing districts across Canada. Five of those districts are in Ontario.
“Rural communities are the heart of Canada. Whether growing crops to feed people, feed livestock, create biodiesel, or clothe us, farmers in rural communities provide many of the necessities in our lives," Trish Jordan, Monsanto’s public and industry affairs director, said in a news release. "We wanted to provide an opportunity to help farmers invest in their communities and highlight the important contributions they make every day."
Farmers are encouraged to send in nominations for any cause they believe deserves a $2,500 grant, provided it is a registered charity or non-profit organization. The winners will be decided in a random draw.
“We wanted to keep the program as simple as possible,” Jordan said in a phone interview. “We didn’t want to restrict them, or force them to spend hours writing a pitch.”
Under the rules for the Canada's Farmers Grow Communities program, farmers who are 19 years or older and actively engaged in farming a combination of corn, soybeans and/or canola on at least 160 acres in Western Canada, or a combination of corn or soybeans on at least 80 acres in Eastern Canada, are eligible to participate in the program.
As well, the program allows other non-farming residents of rural communities to go online and make suggestions of worthy groups or projects for a farmer to consider using a Canada's Farmers Grow Communities application.
Entries will be accepted until Sept. 30. Winners will be notified by Nov. 15, and the grants will be made before the end of the year. No purchase is necessary in order to enter or win. Eligible farmers can submit just one application.
Information on the company and the grants can be found at www.monsanto.ca . BF

When it comes to health and nutrition, Potrero is struggling like communities all over the world. Obesity is an epidemic among adults and is creeping into the lives of children. Diabetes is becoming more and more common and many people in Potrero are unsure exactly what the disease is or how to address it. It is because of this that the women of the AM women’s group, Mujeres Activas de Potrero (MAP), asked for more information on nutrition. We invited Dr. Judith Lipton to join us at a MAP meeting and share information on nutrition and healthy habits.
Traditional Costa Rican food provides a healthy and balanced diet. The province of Nicoya, just about an hour from Potrero, was named one of the 5 “Blue Zones” in the earth. The five Blue Zones include: Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Icaria, Greece. The populations in these regions commonly live active lives over 100 years old and suffer from a small fraction of diseases that commonly plague other communities. While a traditional Costa Rican diet is nutritious and healthy, here in Potrero processed, fatty, salt and sugar heavy foods have filled our shelves and our bellies, creating an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Living in poverty, many families do not have the knowledge or opportunity to change their current path and their children are beginning a similar pattern at a young age.
Dr. Lipton shared healthy eating tips with MAP, taught us how to read product labels effectively, and answered our questions about our own nutrition and child nutrition. She stressed the simple rule that we should all try to follow: Eat like your grandmother ate as she was growing up.
This information can be especially powerful and effective in the hands of women. In an epidemic such as this, the women of MAP can be crucial in changing the eating habits of the community as they are primarily responsible for the food in their households. Dr. Lipton will continue to join MAP to discuss other health related topics in the future including self breast exams and sexual health. Following up on our nutrition class, Dr. Lipton will be joining us early January to help us make healthy New Year’s resolutions and take our weight, measurements, and blood pressure to track our progress each month.

For about two years, founders of California software company Qtask have argued that bankruptcy attorneys in the Scott Rothstein Ponzi case were in danger of violating privacy rights for Qtask clients.
Qtask recently gained an ally in that argument: The U.S. Attorneys office has asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Raymond Ray to issue a protective order against the “disclosure of sensitive government information, including military data, which is stored on Qtask.”
Several other parties, including Rothstein’s former law partner Russell Adler and British Telecom, filed similar motions for protective orders.
The motions come at a time when the public and regulators are scrutinizing the privacy of data in general, ranging from information on Facebook to iPhones.
Bankruptcy attorneys overseeing Rothstein’s former law firm had requested broad access to Qtask data because Rothstein used the system and invested $7 million in Qtask.
But Qtask’s founder, Reichart Von Wolfsheild, had blocked some of those requests based on his concerns over users' rights to privacy. Von Wolfsheild was threatened in court orders with possible jail time for not coughing up passwords and data – and for allegedly stonewalling the bankruptcy attorneys representing trustee Herbert Stettin.
After Rothstein’s fraud was revealed, Stettin sued Qtask for the $7 million, and requested that Qtask hand over data and passwords, so RRA messages on the system could be investigated.
Von Wolfsheild said the company handed over as much data and access as it could while still protecting the rights of others who used the system. But the trustee and Von Wolfsheild continued to argue over broader access.
Qtask was found in contempt of court and fined for violating court orders that it hand over broader access to the system. As part of a settlement regarding the investment, the trustee now owns all the assets of Qtask and has scheduled an auction for the assets and its software systems.
The federal motion for privacy in the case, filed March 29, says a government military contractor called PhaseSpace used Qtask. According to its website, PhaseSpace Motion Capture in San Leandro, Calif., has been used by the Navy Research Lab to create a complete virtual training program.
The federal motion says the government is still trying to ascertain how sensitive the PhaseSpace data on Qtask is.
“The Government respectfully requests that this Court enter a Protective Order preventing the Trustee from obtaining Qtask usernames and/or passwords pertaining to PhaseSpace and further preventing any individual or entity from obtaining, revealing, divulging or disseminating any United States Army, Air Force, Navy or other United States governmental agency information which exists on Qtask,” the government’s motion states.
Von Wolfsheild’s attorney, Bart Houston, said, “It’s clear to me that what Von Wolfsheild has been saying all along is true, that this is private data and the trustee has no right to access for it.”
In a hearing on Friday, Ray ordered that Von Wolfsheild should turn over the names of 4,200 people who used Qtask. The trustee’s attorney will contact the users to advise them of the data requests.
Despite the $7 million investment, the current value of Qtask is unknown.
Berger Singerman attorney Chuck Lichtman said the current dispute is not about passwords or access to any data that isn’t connected to RRA. He said the trustee is now concerned that some RRA data on Qtask appears to have been deleted. In an email response, Von Wolfsheild denied that any data is missing.

Taxes and airport fees may force Flybe overseas, boss Jim French warns
The burden placed on British airlines by taxes and high airport fees will force Flybe to build its business outside the UK, boss Jim French has warned.
The airline, which has historically specialised in domestic flights, posted a pre-tax loss of £1.3million compared to a £14.3million profit last year.
But French said the company would have to look abroad, due to high fees charged by airports and steep hikes in Air Passenger Duty, which he blamed for a 21 per cent decline in the UK domestic aviation market over five years.
Heavy burden: Flybe boss Jim French warned over taxes and high airport fees
‘We can’t be held to ransom with ever increasing fees because we can develop our business elsewhere,’ he said.
‘Unless we see alleviation then we will have to move business elsewhere.’
French has forged a partnership with Finnair and said similar tie-ups could follow, as he seeks to reduce Flybe’s reliance on the hostile UK environment.
Chief finance officer Andrew Knuckey said the group was also looking to
reduce its costs by £2 per seat, a 4 per cent reduction from the current
rate of about £50.
Advance sales for the coming winter are up 2.5 per cent on last year but French said he was still taking a ‘cautious view’ by keeping capacity constrained. Flybe shares fell 3.5p to 52p

Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City, New Jersey, at around 6:15 pm EST, and proceeded inland with howling, 90-mile-per-hour winds. The hurricane has already knocked out power for 1.2 million households in 10 states, and residents on the East Coast braced for a long night of more power outages and felled trees. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said emergency workers would no longer be able to reach those who refused to evacuate vulnerable zones. "For those people who ignored my warnings, this is what you have to deal with now," he said.

I want to count in decades, not years. After thyroid cancer in 1980, I was pleased when I could count cancerversaries (if the word did exist back then) in decades, not years. I was 26.5 years out and whoopsie a new cancer diagnosis. Breast cancer that time. I was less than thrilled to start counting over.
But now I can say I am 32.5 years out from thyroid cancer and 6.5 years out from breast cancer. Those are nice numbers.
People quote five year survival rates as if they were Gospel. But they aren't. I learned recently that five year survival rates were started in the 1930s for blood cancers. This timeline/goal quickly spread to other cancers and people started believing them.
But they really aren't true. A couple of examples are both breast cancer and thyroid cancer which can return at any time. So five years is good but not great. Thyroid cancer has been known to recur 30 and 40 years out.
Every person with cancer counts their years differently. Some celebrate their cancerversary with a big celebration and their five year date with as an epic event. For more on the five year dates and cancerversaries (which is just a weird word) you can read this very interesting article on how people celebrate and how we got to where we are. It was shared on FB by a friend who was marking his cancerversary and reaching out to those he knew who were in the same boat. I read it and enjoyed it.
But for now, I'll go back to counting decades and waiting.
PS if you do the math, I am really 37 years old as I stopped counting some time ago.

Skinless are from the US and play Brutal Death Metal. This is their fifth album.
Skinless have returned! Anticipation is high with this release.
Immediately the band make a strong entrance with a massive sound, evil guttural vocals and those ultra-sexy Skinless riffs that only they do so well.
It’s a pleasure to hear the guttural stylings of the original vocalist once more. He personifies the stereotypically rough, ultra-low Death Metal growl and as such is absolutely one of the best at performing them.
Skinless have always had a certain special knack for combining aggressive carnage with brutal grooves. The slower, groovier riffs are a particular favourite of mine. Slow or fast though, there’s always an infectious energy about them.
The songs are all winners and each one earns its place in the Death Metal premier league. Although the band are Hellishly brutal, there’s more than that going on here as the riffs tell a bloody story and the drums thump out their malevolent beat. Memorable, impressive songs are the meaty main course in this sumptuous feast of rotten flesh.
Skinless are heavy and they’ve always been exceptionally heavy. Death Metal by its very nature is a heavy form of music, but there’s heavy and then there’s HEAVY. Skinless own the latter.
The music on this album should be a wakeup call for any band playing this style. Daddy is home. While Skinless have been away the Brutal Death Metal scene has multiplied and mutated, as these things always do, but who cares? Skinless are back and ready to show everyone how it’s done.
I’m incredibly pleased with this return to the fray by one of the best Death Metal bands out there.
Skinless, you have been missed.

Guide to aid schools during emergencies
NORWALK -- The schools' new emergency management guide will be in the hands of educators come faculty convocation in August and joining them will be a bolstered roster of school resource officers.
Tuesday night, the Board of Education was briefed on the new emergency management system by the District Safety Committee and was presented with the school resource officer agreement.
"I think this is going to do a lot to raise the safety level in our schools," board Chairman Mike Lyons told the Safety Committee after the presentation.
The Safety Committee's presentation was based off the same presentation the city's 19 school principals received earlier this month.
"We will have a consistent plan across our 19 schools," said Fire Chief Dennis McCarthy, who has been working with the committee on the new guide for most of this year as a response to the Newtown shooting. "This uses plain English, no codes and is consistent (kindergarten) through 12."
Already in place is a door numbering system, to standardize the location and number of all the interior and exterior doors in city schools.
The committee is now working on walkthroughs of each of the individual schools and meeting with individual school safety teams.
One thing already in place, McCarthy told the board, flanked by Safety Committee members city Emergency Management Director Michelle DeLuca, Police Lt. Brian Cunningham and Brien McMahon High School teacher and former Marine Bob Killackey, was four possible responses to an emergency. Schools will either "lock out" for exterior emergencies, "lockdown" for something in the school, "evacuate" for fires or hazardous materials, or "shelter" for medical or weather emergencies.
"Regardless of the type of emergency that's occurring, we want to do one of the four actions," McCarthy said.
Another security measure is more school resource officers. In addition to the three at Norwalk High School, Brien McMahon High School and Briggs High School, the city's 12 elementary schools will share one and one officer will split time at two middle schools.
"In the proposed city budget they are going to add three more resource officers," Interim Superintendent Tony Daddona said. "That is no cost to the Board of Education."
McCarthy said the Columbine shooting in 1999 forced police and first responders to examine their measures and December's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary has done the same.
"I think Newtown has caused us to reflect again to make it simple," he said.

GOA’S GARBAGE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. IT IS DEFACING THE STATE’S NATURAL BEAUTY AND DESTROYING THE TOURISM. IT IS ALSO DIMINISHING OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. THE TOURISTS LITTER AND LEAVE BEHIND A PILE OF TRASH FOR US TO CLEAN. ONE SUCH ACTIVITY HAS BEEN SPOTTED ON THE GOA’S FAMOUS MIRAMAR BEACH.
To understand the gravity of Goa’s garbage problem, it’s necessary to look outside the state – to all the places on the planet where there are NO piles of trash lining the roads, where drivers and bus passengers do not toss their litter out of the window, where once pristine countryside has NOT been transformed into a massive waste bin.
And now imagine yourself as a potential visitor trying to figure out where best to spend your hard-earned holiday. Do you choose a place like the ones described above, or do you choose the one major beach destination that’s allowed itself to become an unsightly rubbish dump?
On Saturday a tourist bus from Bihar arrived at Miramar, with around 10-20 families halted and sheltered near the beach side. Obviously, they were not here to contribute to the tourism or Goan economy but rather add to our garbage problem.
They carried all the food supplies, along with their own cylinders and stoves. Setting this up opposite Sharda Mandir School in Miramar they created utter mess and litter. When a concerned local informed the police, they arrived at the spot and asked the tourists to move aside from the road area and left. No action was taken; this caused the local to approach higher authorities.
One of the locals tried calling CCP and also the Chief Minister, but none of them actively provided any help. The question here remains how these people cross the check posts without being held for transporting LPG cylinders. Also, how are they not being held and fined for littering the public places? Neither CCP nor the Chief Minister’s office was available for comment.
What do you think can be done to this rising problem of garbage in the state due to the tourist? Should the laws be made stricter to curb the problem? Leave your valuable comment
