Kyle Wilson has joined Juan Ugarte on a month long loan at Altrincham.
19 year old Wilson hasn't featured in Gradi's plans as yet but it is believed the loans are to give both players first team action and a chance to impress.
Dario is hopeful he can call on Richard Walker ahead of the game against Cardiff after the defender has recovered from a back injury and Mark Rivers is also in contention after missing the 2-0 defeat at Stoke.

Once again The Land brings you the Farmer of The Year finalists and, after a brief hiatus, the Young Farmer of the year finalists, all of whom will meet in Sydney next Wednesday to learn who have been selected as this year's competition winners.
The award is an initiative of the NSW Department of Primary Industries and NSW Farmers, with support from SafeWork NSW and Australian Community Media, publisher of The Land.
Farmer of the year contenders
Chris Hall, Wallendbeen. Horticulture
A professional background has helped third generation cherry producer Chris Hall to approach his horticultural enterprise, shared with his wife Lee, from a clever angle.
Mr Hall used to run a managed investment scheme, and brings from that experience a love of spread sheets, while Mrs Hall has her own clinical psychology practice and applies those skills when keeping worker morale up and focused.
There has been attention paid to soil health, microbes and cover crops between orchard rows to boost size and flavour.
Earlier this year Mr Hall was presented with the 2019 National Carbon Cocky Award for demonstrated improvement in carbon management in horticulture and was a finalist in outstanding performance in soil carbon sequestration.
Generations change and you have to change with them. These days we have a lot more people coming through the door. We look and see what people want.
As a result, it comes as no surprise he is more interested in what is growing under the surface, rather than only looking at the cherries on top.
"We found herbicides were holding us back," he says. "Now, nutrition management is a big thing. We are chemical free and synthetic fertiliser free."
Cover crops between rows of trees offer a promising future, and Mr Hall says areas of the orchard with richer soil produce sweeter cherries.
Investment in an optical grader has allowed the enterprise to target markets based on quality, while reducing the cost of labour.
"We're producing 32-plus millimetre cherries with intense flavour," he said. "We are in a premium place right now."
Of course, adding layers of complexity to the enterprise does not come without challenges, like dealing with cranky software in the grading unit, or working through quality assurance for export and, of course, handling workers' health and safety.
Mathew Fenech, Horsley Park. Poultry
Matthew Fenech is a third generation poultry farmer in the western suburbs of Sydney and has managed to survive, even thrive, by appealing to new migrant markets and by adhering to strict biosecurity.
His grandparents started an egg farm in the 1960s and during Mr Fenech's parents' time it produced meat birds. These days there is a mix.
Fresh eggs remain the staple along with boutique lines like Balut and Penoy.
Roosters, not traditionally a saleable item, are reared on a separate small holding nearby, part of the family enterprise, and are sold live to Vietnamese and Indian customers who slow cook them in their dishes because the meat remains firm and the flavour is rich.
By embracing the diversity of new markets Mr Fenech remains viable.
"Generations change and you have to change with them," he says. "These days we have a lot more people coming through the door. We look and see what people want."
The threat of disease used to be a limiting factor for previous generations of poultry farmers in the Sydney basin, but as farms have decreased, so has the threat of outbreak.
Nevertheless, Mr Fenech adheres to a strict biosecurity program that involves different parts of the enterprise located on three separate sites. Employees working with eggs do not work with roosters on the same day, for instance. Customers are not allowed access to the sheds.
The approach certainly helped the Fenech family escape a recent salmonella outbreak unscathed.
Lauren Newell, Wingham. Beef
Marketing products and the personalities behind them is a strength of Lauren Newell from Linga Longa farm.
With her husband Bob, the couple manage a small Hereford herd of 60 breeders with a bull running year round to maintain consistent production.
Mrs Newell employs a butcher to work in the farm's NSW Food Authority approved processing plant, breaking down bodies according to orders initially sourced at markets in Newcastle and Sydney, where there has been greater interest in local produce.
A farmstay helps diversify their income, with guests educated about agriculture.
While the farm's adoption of no-till cultivation and rotational grazing has meant pasture lasted longer with less rain, the whims of this season still made their presence felt, with the loss of calves.
Meanwhile, customers came on board through social media sponsoring a cow's feed in return for getting to name her. The social media campaign enabled Linga Longa farm to retain its breeders.
"We were overwhelmed by the response," said Mrs Newell.
A key development in the enterprise has been diversification into bone broth and the promotion of beef cuts other than primals so the whole beast is used. Mrs Newell lately developed a bone broth suitable for dogs and has identified a willing market in Sydney.
Young farmer of the year contenders
After a 12 month hiatus, the Young Farmer of the Year award has been re-introduced, and in 2019 this competition profiles two enterprising producers who will certainly go on to inspire another generation on the land.
After all, how many farmers do you know in this drought who have gone beyond surviving, to thriving?
This award helps identify outstanding farmers who are pushing the boundaries within their industry and in farming generally, and recognises people with outstanding management skills who demonstrate a combination of innovation, profitability, sustainability and community involvement.
Tim Carroll, Borenore. Beef
A methodical approach to enterprise has resulted in Young Farmer of the Year finalist Tim Carroll turning a profit despite the drought.
As manager of The Bridge, a beef breeding and trading operation on 600 hectares of Central West basalt soil, Mr Carroll's adaption of new technology and best use of data is paying dividends.
By monitoring average daily weight gain through the implementation of tracking collars on each animal, Mr Carroll can prove that $2.60 worth of bagged pellets a day, fed in his drought constraint paddock, results in an average daily weight gain of 1.5 kilograms or $4.50 at 300c/kg.
"Agriculture is a passion, but it is also a business," Mr Carroll says. "You have to be positive and pro-active when it comes to new ideas."
Minimising risk has brought a two-part benefit to the enterprise, preventing injury while saving the enterprise on premiums.
"It was a business decision to prevent harm," Mr Carroll said, referring to the removal of quad bikes, replaced with side-by-side vehicles.
"We sold the grain augur and we don't use silos so there's no reason for anyone to be up a ladder. We handle bulk bags with the right gear so no one needs to be out of the tractor and under bags."
Mr Carroll said the extra cost of buying grain in bulk bags certainly impacted the bottom line, but there were savings in insurance premiums that helped offset that cost.
Adoption of new technology has improved on-farm performance by reducing labour with drones used to drive cattle along laneways.
"Labour is hard to find and expensive," Mr Carroll says. "Reducing that cost through the use of technology is a driving force of our business.
"I am of a generation that were early adopters of the iPhone and now I struggle to live without it. Technology and innovation put us on the front foot."
Mr Carroll's enterprise is also investigating investment in virtual fencing, although the present 3G telecommunications signal is not robust enough and he may have to wait for the roll-out of 5G.
The future for agricultural investment is strong, says Mr Carroll with his wife Lucinda, who works in the banking sector, reporting agricultural return at 4-5 per cent, while money in the bank might only attract 2pc.
"This drought will create opportunities and I'd like to see myself as an advocate for agriculture. I'd like to help young farmers who, like myself, want to run an operation of their own."
Agriculture is a passion but it is also a business. You have to be positive and pro-active when it comes to new ideas.
Renae Connell, Megan. Dairy
A timely shift to Jersey capable of producing A2 milk from a traditional Holstein herd has helped Young Farmer of the Year finalist Renae Connell deliver a profit at a time when the dairy industry remains in crisis.
Milking 160 head on 123 usable hectares near Dorrigo, with her husband Scott, this young industry leader is paying back loans in a drought year utilising a pasture-based system supplemented with on-farm grown grass silage.
Recent investments have included a new herringbone dairy with automatic drafting that has reduced labour three-fold to the point that a milking session takes just one hour.
Concrete laneways and creek crossings have resulted in easier and smarter management, reducing lame cattle.
Last year, Valley Rose Jerseys purchased a neighbour's property and so now have an opportunity to expand, although the new farm requires a lot of work.
Substantial debt for such a young couple is a risk, but recent returns have shown their lender, Rabobank, that these young farmers are clients that should be embraced.
"Dairy is not an easy career path," admits Mrs Connell, who grew up milking Jersey cows on her parents' stud at Bowraville.
"But we are looking at new ways of getting the best return from our cows so that we can pass this on to our daughters if they are interested."
Jersey cows sourced from her family almost 700 metres below the Dorrigo plateau, actually increased production by a thousand litres a year to 6000l when they acclimatised to the temperate airs around Megan.
"Research matches our gut feel that moving away from Holsteins to Jersesy was the right hing to do," she says. "Their feed conversion is much better.
"They put more dollars in the bank. It is a no-brainer."
On-farm safety, a key component of the Farmer of the Year criteria, is maintained with the help of written procedures, easily available contact lists and induction of employees into the safe handling of animals.
While the biggest risk to this young farmer household is heavy debt, Mrs Connell says it is managed through keen budgeting, matching litres produced against profit.
"We're not interested in being the biggest producer, but we seek to be the best working farm with the best animal health so that everything functions at its best," she said.

|Modern Walther PPK/E gun|
(CC by ThePierreR)
Some factoids on the murder of three PKK members in Paris last Thursday:
- As mentioned earlier the three women were shot three or four times on the head each.
- The ammunition used is caliber 7.65 mm, a relatively rare format used by weapons like the German Walther PPK (used by armed/police forces in many countries included France and Turkey, this last country has also produced variants of it).
- Sakine Cansiz, probably the main target, is considered very close to Oçalan.
- Cansiz and Dogan were closely watched by French police, so the French Government must know what happened.
|Kurds protested the murder|
In this sense the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has declared that will held the French government responsible if the crime is not clarified.
The main suspect are the Far Right networks in the Turkish Army, traditionally opposed to any kind of concessions to Kurdish demands (that includes the NATO-related terrorist organization Ergenekon and the Fascist movement Gray Wolves). However, as I mentioned previously, the attitude of the Turkish Government, quickly blaming internal PKK feuds is extremely suspicious, so the authors may well have acted under command of Ankara and most likely also with the complicity of the French state apparatus, which is generally supportive of the political status quo in Europe against the demands of stateless peoples like Basques or Kurds (or earlier in Yugoslavia strongly supportive of Serbian centralism).
Kurds to continue with dialogue
|P. Barrena (L) and H. Guneser (R)|
In press conference today in this town of Bilbao, where she is visiting to take part in the demonstration that will take place today in solidarity with Basque prisoners and refugees, Havin Guneser, speaker of the International Initiative Freedom for Abdullah Oçalan, that the crime bears the executor mark of a state.
She said that the Kurdish movement has declared their intention of continuing with the dialogue no matter what. She insisted however that the peace process can only be built from truth, respect and recognition of all the rights, and from the negotiation in conditions of equality.
Guneser also denounced the unlimited collaboration of European governments with Ankara.
Basque Nationalist Left leader Pernando Barrena, who was in the press conference with Guneser, pointed to Ankara as the true culprit of this political murder and demanded from the Turkish regime to abandon repression and to rise the banner of solution instead.

Peugeot team boss Bruno Famin appeared unconcerned by the French marque's first major mechanical problem of the 2016 Dakar Rally.
During Thursday's fifth stage, as Sebastien Loeb registered Peugeot's fourth successive stage win, a turbocharger failure on Cyril Despres' sister 2008DKR16 cost the Frenchman more than an hour.
The Frenchman came to a halt at the seventh waypoint, and had to cruise to the finish at reduced pace.
Peugeot has endured a relatively trouble-free Dakar so far, with only Carlos Sainz's brief engine failure in Stage 2 having blotted the squad's copybook up until Despres' troubles.
"We had warned that there could be surprises like this," Famin told Motorsport.com at the Uyuni bivouac.
"It's unfortunate what happened. But, on the other hand, we also recorded another 1-2-3 in the stage."
Peugeot has so far topped each full-length stage of the 2016 race - with Loeb, Stephane Peterhansel and Sainz currently locking out the top three spots in the overall standings.
Despres drops out of the fight
Despres, a five-time Dakar champion on a motorcycle, is running in the event's car category for a second time - and had been running eighth overall before hitting trouble on Thursday.
"It was a really tough day," Despres told Motorsport.com. "Being in the top 10 was very good for me, but Dakar's a race in which anything can change.
"Apparently it was a stone or a piece of soil that had blocked something up and damaged the turbocharger."
Despres now sits 22nd, an hour and 32 minutes behind rally-leading teammate Loeb, and admits he's now well out of contention for overall honours.
"With that time difference, it's difficult fight for victory," he said. "I'll just be here every day, doing kilometres, trying to do my best.
"Until the turbo problem, everything had gone well, so I'm not complaining. I'm happy to be a part of this team."

At Voqal, we believe one of the biggest challenges facing the country is the delivery of affordable broadband service to all Americans. Unfortunately, too many Americans still lack affordable access today. The focus of the so-called “digital divide” has primarily been in rural areas, where broadband simply isn’t offered by any provider. This market failure continues to persist, even as the government has plowed billions in subsidies to companies to help make rural broadband deployment more attractive.
The latest data from the Federal Communication Commission’s 2019 Broadband Deployment Report shows that rural areas lack access relative to their urban counterparts. While 98.3% of Americans living in urban areas have access to 25/3 Mbps broadband service, just 73.6% of Americans living in rural areas have access to that same level of service. In addition, mobile service is available to just 69.3% of rural Americans, leaving many on the wrong side of the digital divide.
While the rural broadband access problem is worthy of attention, it represents only part of the digital divide story. While 93.5% of all Americans have broadband access, the adoption rate is just 60.2%. Why is there a 33.3% gap between access and adoption?
A new piece from prolific broadband researcher John Horrigan shows a variety of factors that explain this phenomenon. Based on the 2019 data from the Pew Research Center, 50% of Americans cite cost as a factor for not subscribing. In addition, some 45% of respondents do not subscribe because their smartphone is adequate for their needs.
One of Voqal’s goals is delivering affordable internet access for all. Voqal strives to achieve this goal through its Mobile Citizen project, which helps distribute wireless hotspots to students (via educational institutions), low-income families (via nonprofit resellers) and nonprofit organizations. Mobile Citizen’s experience on the ground validates this research. Cost remains a significant factor in limiting adoption. And as a mobile hotspot provider, we understand low-income Americans desire mobility often because it fits their lifestyle better. For instance, mobility works better for school bus rides or long work commutes on public transportation.
Solving the digital divide remains an important goal. But any solution must recognize that both access and affordability are key to ensuring a higher adoption rate.

Stephanie Mills recently stopped by TV One’s “Sister Circle” and had something to say about the current state of R&B. According to the legendary singer, the music industry has turned their backs on Black R&B artists for white artists who sing the same type of music.
“I think they want R&B, but they don’t want it from us. They want it from Adele and Justin Timberlake and those people. Kenny Lattimore had a wonderful album [but it didn’t get a lot of attention],” Mills told hosts Quadd Webb-Lunceford and Syleena Johnson, who’s also a well-known singer.
Of course, Mills isn’t the only Black R&B artist with this outlook, Mary J. Blige does as well, despite her being in the music business for 25 very productive years.
“It’s hard for a woman to do anything, but when you’re Black you have to fight,” she told the Los Angeles Times in September. “I fought, although I was hearing it was over for me. But I kept going, because I felt in my spirit there’s more to do.”
Mills, for her part, grew to fame in the late ‘70s and early ’80s after scoring hits like “What Cha’ Gonna Do with My Lovin,” and “(You’re Puttin’) A Rush on Me.” Blige became the voice of an entire generation after dropping albums like “What’s the 411?,” “My Life” and “Share My World.”
But it’s not only the veteran Black R&B singers who’ve said they feel less appreciated these days, it’s also newer artists like Tinashe.
After the 24-year-old caught a lot of backlash for her comments on colorism, she spoke candidly about the challenges she’s faced due to being Black. In short, Tinashe said that her music isn’t able to exist outside of urban music realms, which she called unfair.
“When it comes to Black women, people want to put you in these almost race-driven musical genres,” she explained. “[Our] songs automatically become ‘urban’ or ‘rhythmic.’ I was creating music that didn’t necessarily fall into what people [considered] Black female music and there was push back.”
Tinashe also said that fans are choosing male artists today more than ever, which is another reason she and some of her peers haven’t thrived like they’ve expected to. Some may disagree, however, seeing that other singers of color such as Solange, SZA and Jhené Aiko have ultra successful careers.
“For some reason, people are consuming male-based entertainment on a much greater scale,” said Tinashe. “You look at the pop charts and there are no Black women. And it looks like that on rhythmic and urban charts. Perhaps it’s a subject matter issue? Maybe it’s the gatekeepers? I can’t put my finger on it.”
In fact, the Los Angeles Times reports that in the past decade the only Black female artists to score a No.1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and top album charts as a lead artist is Beyoncé, Rihanna and Mariah Carey.

Some male R&B singers have talked about feeling pushed aside because of skin color as well, like Tyrese. Before he was making headlines for having a series of very public meltdowns, the “Fast & Furious” star held a show and protest in front of iHeartRadio’s headquarters in Los Angeles.
Even though his 2015 album “Black Rose” hit No.1 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 83,000 copies in its first week, Tyrese said a lot of stations wouldn’t play his music because he’s Black.
“When I think about Sam Smith, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, when they’re singing R&B soul, their songs are being played on all formats of radio, including urban radio,” he told TMZ. “We don’t say because they white they should only be played on the white stations. If I’m No. 1 my song deserves to be heard by the world.”
The R&B artist The-Dream also touched on discrimination in the music industry during an interview in 2012.
“It’s called rhythm and blues; they just took the blues out of it for so long,” he told The Guardian. “What’s crazy is that Blacks can’t do soul records anymore. We love Adele singing it, but Beyoncé singing it? No. The tempo’s too slow, gimme the club hit. Now the Blacks in America are responsible for the pop records, and everybody else is singing soulful records. It’s weird to me. We’re pigeonholed over there.”
Hector Hannibal, who’s the program director for the Howard University-owned station WHUR in Washington D.C, weighed in on the topic and said race isn’t always a factor when it comes to white R&B artists being heavily supported.
Hannibal also said that he’s received a lot of R&B tunes from artists who aren’t Black, and if the songs are solid there’s a good chance he’ll put them on air.
“I love it when artists like the Stephanie Mills of the world releases music,” he said. “Sometimes you will have artists who are outside of the norm doing some really good things, and we will play them. But it’s not because I’m looking for that. I’m looking for R&B music most of the time, and every now and then something falls in my lap that sounds really good and people really like it.”
In addition, Hannibal said that a lot of artists who aren’t Black stick to R&B and other styles of urban music out of sheer love and appreciation, and they should be given the room to do that.
“With everything else that this beautiful Black music culture is, it’s admirable and something worth endeavoring to do,” he stated. “It’s an art form and no matter what kind of artist you are, you appreciate music. Someone is paying tribute to a grand music style, so if you’re white or Asian or what have you and you can pull it off, there’s no rules that say you can’t.”
Hannibal also pointed to the fact that singers like Mills and Lattimore are in the middle of a changing industry, where album sales have dramatically decreased and record labels are being way more judicious on how they’re allocating promotional dollars.
“I played a single off of Kenny Lattimore’s CD, and perhaps it’s one of those situations in terms of [the] bigger-name-rule. The bigger name gets a bigger slice of the pie,” he explained. “If it happens to be a Justin Timberlake that’s white, we’ll immediately assign the racial thing, but Justin has sold a lot of music. He’s done a lot. He’s much more mainstream and that has a lot to do with it … There’s a lot more than just the Black, white thing.”
“I would love for Kenny Lattimore and Stephanie Mills to have that sort of success,” Hannibal added. “But they’re not mainstream, and the industry has changed dramatically and that bodes against them.”

MOSCOW, October 17. (Itar-Tass) – Russia has begun shipping military hardware to Iraq, Ali al-Musawi, advisor of the Iraqi Prime Minister Russia Today on Thursday.
The official noted that the contract “entails primarily weapon shipments to combat terrorism.” The advisor clarified that Russia will provide “helicopters which were proven to be effective during anti-terrorist operations. Special hardware to combat terrorists will also be supplied.”
Ali al-Musawi noted that “Iraq does not possess offensive weapons, as it does not hatch any plans for expansion. Bagdad only strives for securing its own sovereignty, defense of its wealth and fight against terrorism.
Iraq will receive 40 helicopters
The $4.2 billion contract was signed in 2012. In early 2013 reports on its annulment surfaced; however, Anatoly Isaykin, Director General of Rosoboronexport, announced at a press conference in February that the contract was not annulled; rather, it hasn’t come into force yet.
The agreement entails providing Iraq with 40 attack helicopters Mi-35 and Mi-28 “Night Hunter”. The first team of Iraq specialists has concluded Mi-35 flight training in the Russian Center for Military Aviation in Torzhok.
Previously Russia wrote off Iraq’s debt in exchange to expected large-scale purchases of Russian military hardware.
Iraq purchased most of its military hardware in the USSR and Russia. During the Soviet era around $30.5 billion were spent on Russian arms throughout 30 years. Former deals include around 1000 planes and 350 helicopters as well as AA systems, land transport and watercraft.
Resumption of export of Russian hardware to Iraq is explained by the Iraqi armed forces being used to Russian weapons as well as diversification of suppliers – after Saddam Hussein’s regime toppled, Bagdad stared purchasing weapons in the United States. Baghdad and Washington have made arms deals with the total price of over $12 billion.

Both the city and county of Victoria will be able to continue receiving certain federal funds after the Office of Management and Budget chose not to change the Metropolitan Statistical Area population threshold last week.
“For them to heed our advice, and the advice of communities like ours, and leave the criteria as is, that is certainly a win for us,” said County Judge Ben Zeller.
In 2020, the Office of Management and Budget proposed changing the definition of a Metropolitan Statistical Area from a county-based urban center with at least 50,000 residents to one with at least 100,000. If the rule had been adopted, Victoria would have been stripped of its metropolitan designation.
Local officials were concerned that losing that designation would’ve had a “big, detrimental” effect on the community’s ability to receive federal and state funding. The designation would’ve affected funding the city receives as part of the Community Development Block Grant program, which supports community development and services for low-income residents, and the Metropolitan Planning Organization, which oversees funding for local transportation projects.
In March, the Victoria City Council passed a resolution opposing the change. U.S. Rep. Michael Cloud also spoke out against the reclassification.
“We are pleased that the OMB has decided to listen to local officials and residents who made their voices heard during the public comment period,” said Development Services Director Julie Fulgham. “That designation helps us with economic development and is very important to growth.”
Federal funding for the Metropolitan Planning Organization is also influenced by the U.S. Census Bureau’s urban-rural classification system. The Census Bureau is expected to announce later this year whether it will change its standards for designating urbanized Census blocks. Under the proposed new rule almost all of the area’s census tracts would fail to qualify, according to past reporting by the Advocate.
Losing that urban designation would affect the city and county’s transportation planning efforts, said Fulgham.

Rajkummar Rao's Trapped has received positive reviews from the audiences as the storyline is something new and refreshing and one which has never been dealt before in Bollywood. Add to this, the film has no interval and that makes Trapped more interesting and worthy of a watch. There's a particular scene in the film where Rajkummar Rao is seen eating a pigeon and speaking to a rat, "What's the similarity between a man and a mouse," and he mentions, "Both run after holes."
Well, that is surely funny indeed but for the CBFC it's not funny and they've chopped off that scene. Thankfully, the film-makers have put up the scene on their YouTube channel for you all to watch. Check it out below!
Trapped has got only 300 screens all over India but still managed to remain housefull and collected a sum of 1.44 Crores at the box office during the weekends. Well, for 300 screens that really is an impressive number. Film critic Rajeev Masand heaped praises on the film and said,
"Despite its occasional shortcomings, Trapped is a wholly involving drama that you become quickly invested in. The bulk of the credit for that goes to the film's incredible leading man who delivers his finest work here."

I live in Carona, a pleasant village above the city of Lugano in southern Switzerland. From early childhood, I was able, thanks to family members, to learn to sew, embroider and use the sewing machine. I practised playing the dressmaker with my dolls. I doubted choosing the profession of florist or seamstress, but then the passion for the fabric prevailed. First, I graduated as a master dressmaker, then I continued my studies, and I became a professor of plastic art. I practised until early retirement.
During these teaching years, I managed to pass my passion on to many children. Some of them have undertaken, to my great satisfaction, my profession.
My passion for textile art was born by visiting various festivals and attending courses with international artists. I started by working on the figurative. I liked it, but it didn't satisfy me. The continuous desire to learn and know led me to follow a Master with Linda Colsh. It enriched me a lot, giving me a new interpretation and vision. Reflecting on the path taken, I finally found my way in the abstract and minimalism. Taking inspiration from nature and the bark of the trees, I created my style by applying the rules of tailoring to patchwork. Challenging the wefts and warps of the fabric, I work with a piecing taken to the extreme by choosing increasingly complicated shapes. It is a painstaking job that requires a lot of patience and precision. If I am not satisfied, I do not continue and rather undo the work and start again until I have the desired result. The passion for colours brings me back to the never forgotten florist. I dye my fabrics with Procion MX colours to find the appropriate shades. My research and construction base on a balanced study of shapes, spaces and colours. Quilting is deliberately simple to highlight the piecing work and to give movement and depth to all the work. Before I worked with 50x70 formats, then I chose to work with larger dimensions to enhance the design. The world of bark and the study and combination of colours is very vast, and I can still evolve in this field. However, I have a relief valve, where I can apply other techniques and materials by working on different subjects and themes.
I am part of the international group Fifteen by Fifteen and every two months; we present a challenge.
Barks, Colours and Shapes
My inspiration is nature. The particular details of the bark of the trees are the starting point for the design of my works. Careful observation leads me to the creation of abstract and minimalist forms, which combined with colours and a balanced study of space and shapes give a result of strong visual impact.

Many myths surround the concept of happiness. Here are a few of the most common:
The quality most Americans believe would make them happy is money. It doesn’t! Yes, enough money does make people happier, there is nothing good about poverty, but when a family has an income of $60,000 a year or more, money makes no difference in a person’s happiness. Enough is enough.
Marriage? No. Men have better health when they are married and are slightly happier than unattached men, but women are only happy in what they consider a good marriage, and even then there is little difference in the happiness of married and unmarried women.
Some people are just born happy? Not really. There is a very small percent of people who are happy all the time, but overall happiness takes effort and intent. Those who are happy work at being happy.
Good health? Yes, but it is number 11 on the list of the top 15. When happy people are ill, they are likely to make the best of it.
Some people’s lives are easier than others? Research has repeatedly shown that happy people and unhappy people have the same life experiences. Happy people’s lives are riddled with illness, death, disaster, disappointment, and hardship in the same numbers, and with the same severity as unhappy people. The difference is that happy people recall events and experiences with fondness or humor, or at least with an “oh well” rather than an “oh no.”
It is easier to be unhappy than happy? No. Being unhappy is as much work and effort as being happy. It may feel easier just because it is a familiar habit. Unhappy people tell certain experiences over and over with drama, conviction, and intense emotion, as though their experience is of terrible, unjust events rarely experienced by humankind.
The truths about how to find happiness are surprising in that they are within anyone’s grasp. It is a matter of seeking joy, celebrating everyday successes, and emphasizing the good! Here is what researchers report:
• Small day-to-day measures outrank “big bang” events.
• Sex and having fun with friends outranks housework and watching TV (no surprise there!).
• Having fun is not as important to happiness as helping others.
• The single most important factor in happiness is not what we do, but what we think about what we do, and who we think we are.

Last year, Dance Marathon made a huge splash on the St. Norbert College campus by raising $21,372 to donate to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. The passion and dedication of both the dancers and the participants at the event was astonishing, but their hard work didn’t stop after last year’s event was over. Almost immediately, the members of St. Norbert’s Dance Marathon started putting together this year’s event. The hours of planning, preparing, and fundraising paid off as the event proved to be a huge success with hundreds of students participating. In the span of one year, Dance Marathon increased the donations they received by 62%, earning $34,652 for Children’s Miracle Network. I had the opportunity to speak with two dedicated Dance Marathon members, Lydia Dorn and Mary Sobczak, about how Dance Marathon has impacted them and why they choose to dance for 13.1 hours each year.
Both of the women decided to join Dance Marathon when they realized how influential the organization was. For Entertainment Committee Co-Chair, Lydia Dorn, last year’s Dance Marathon event “sparked a fire” in her and inspired her to plan future events that would help benefit Miracle Children. Likewise, Sponsorship & Fundraising Co-Chair, Mary Sobczak, got involved with the organization early on during her freshman year, saying “I saw what a huge impact Dance Marathon had on the campus and I wanted to be able to take part in the movement.”
The passion and dedication these women have for Dance Marathon is undeniable. Ask either of them about the organization, and they will happily talk to you for hours about the wonderful experiences they’ve had and the impact they hope to create. When asked why they choose to dance for 13.1 hours every year at St. Norbert College’s Dance Marathon event, Lydia explained “I dance for 13.1 hours for all of those children who cannot. I dance for 13.1 hours for the kids that are fighting and the kids that have lost their fights. I dance for family and friends who are sick in some way and for those I have lost to cancer or another disease. I dance for the families who we see every year whose children have been saved by the Children’s Miracle Network and who are happy and healthy. I dance to see the total fundraising amount revealed at the end of each event and know that every single dollar will go towards healing, physically and emotionally, sick kids and their families.”
Mary goes on to share her personal experience with Children’s Miracle Network. “This cause hits home for me. When I was in middle school I was a miracle child. The Children’s Miracle Network gave me my life back a few years ago, and now I dance to give back to the people who gave me so much. Seeing all the young miracle children at the event smiling and dancing with a bunch of college students is reason enough.”
Before the event took place, Mary’s main job was to fundraise throughout the year and seek out community sponsors, whereas Lydia’s work mostly involved planning the details of the actual event and figuring out what programs would be included each hour.
Lydia explained, “Being on the committee and especially the executive board showed me how much work goes into the actual event. Seeing the event happen and everything play out as we planned is so validating. Just stopping and looking around and seeing that what we are doing makes a difference and that everyone’s hard work goes into financially and emotionally supporting Children’s Miracle Network is amazing.” Originally, the members of St. Norbert’s Dance Marathon set a $30,000 fundraising goal for themselves. Seeing that goal be not only reached, but well surpassed was an incredibly meaningful moment for all of the dancers and participants. Reflecting on this, Mary said, “It brought me to my knees and started another round of joyful tears. It meant we had done it.”
Although the Dance Marathon members are taking a few weeks to decompress and take a well deserved break after the success of this year’s event, the group can’t seem to stay still for long. Elections for next year’s executive board are already just around the corner and future events and fundraising goals seem to be on everyone’s mind.

Ruling Minjoo Party of Korea’s presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung reaffirmed his will to root out unearned income out of real estate transactions by arguing that houses should be part of public goods, which was met with criticism by the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) describing it as a communist notion.
“It is worth noting that properties are supposed to be shared by members of society. The public sector needs to consider various approaches,” Lee said on his visit to a share house among young residents on Saturday. “Some of you may complain about why the government minds individual citizens’ business in terms of how many houses they own. Such a way of thinking requires some self-reflection and change.”
According to his argument, share houses are one of the most efficient ways to make use of a limited volume of space on land. Pointing out that some may mistake his proposal as a communist policy, he clarified that it is not about supplying share houses across the overall real estate market but about allowing only 10 percent to be a quality and cost-effective property shared by multiple users, which only accounts for five percent as of now.
Lee said that he considers allocating a preferred portion of house supply to young citizens, one of the most vulnerable social demographics, given that fairness matters in practical terms. He seemingly intended to propose his real estate market policy frame, the most controversial issue for the next year’s presidential election, while trying to win over the hearts of voters in their 20s and 30s, which is arguably considered one of his weakest links.
In response, the main opposition PPP pointed an accusatory finger at Lee, arguing that he ignores the market economy, saying, “His argument gives us a window into what the government will be like under his leadership.” PPP spokesperson Heo Eun-ah said on Saturday, “Lee’s remarks have not taken any further step from the skewed perception of the Moon Jae-in administration that has served as the main culprit behind the soaring housing prices.” The spokesperson equated Lee’s real estate market solution with a risky anti-market proposal showing his ignorance about private properties just the same way that he proposed a quota system to limit the total number of restaurants nationwide.

MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) First Division on Monday, January 18, decided to allow poll commissioner Rowena Guanzon to hear disqualification cases against Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte despite claims of conflict of interest.
In a resolution, the Comelec First Division dismissed for “lack of merit” a petition to inhibit Guanzon from hearing Duterte’s cases. The petition linked Guanzon to a lawyer of an anti-Duterte petitioner.
The division explained that Guanzon can hear cases against Duterte because no Comelec rule stops her from doing so. Comelec rules only require members to inhibit when a case involves family members, not friends or colleagues.
Guanzon signed this resolution along with Comelec Commissioners Christian Lim and Luie Guia.
Guanzon told Rappler on Monday: “I am not inhibiting from the cases of Mayor Duterte. The grounds cited by his lawyers are not for mandatory inhibition, so it is my discretion whether or not to inhibit.”
This comes as Duterte, one of the Philippines’ leading presidential bets, faces petitions to bar him from running for president because he reportedly ran through invalid means. (READ: Duterte to Comelec: Cases ‘water under the bridge’)
While defending himself, Duterte on January 12 submitted a motion to stop Guanzon from hearing his case because she is supposedly a close friend of Maria Sheila Bazar.
Bazar is the lawyer of John Paulo delas Nieves, the 21-year-old University of the Philippines student who filed a petition to stop Duterte from running.
Pointing out a potential conflict of interest, Duterte then unearthed online posts, from as far back as 2007, to bare supposed links between Guanzon and Bazar.
Duterte’s pieces of evidence include photos on Facebook and Instagram, as well as an online post in which Bazar calls Guanzon her “mare” or close female friend.
Duterte’s lawyer, Vitaliano Aguirre II, said Guanzon wants to pin down Duterte because “she’s a very close friend” of administration standard-bearer Manuel Roxas II, who has ranked low in recent surveys.
Comelec: No rule prohibiting her
Guanzon, for her part, has repeatedly denied accusations of bias for Roxas.
She also said Bazar is neither her relative nor her sorority sister. She admitted that she and Bazar belonged to the same group, the Gender Justice Network, but that the group “has been inactive for several years now.”
Guanzon added that a photo attached to Duterte’s motion was taken in 2011, or 5 years ago.
“I am very independent-minded, none of my friends or classmates or lawyer acquaintances would think that I would render a decision in their favor because of our association,” she said.
Rule 4, Section 1 of the Comelec Rules of Procedure states that a Comelec member is bound to inhibit himself or herself if any party or lawyer involved is a close relative. The rules also say no Comelec member “shall sit in any case…in which he has publicly expressed prejudgment as may be shown by convincing proof.”
The Rules of Procedure do not require Comelec members to inhibit themselves if the party or lawyer involved is a friend or colleague.
The poll body’s rules, however, say that a Comelec member “may, in the exercise of sound discretion, inhibit himself from sitting in a case for just or valid reasons other than those mentioned above.”
Lim, for instance, inhibited himself from a petition filed against presidential aspirant Senator Grace Poe, because he once worked with the petitioner, Estrella Elamparo.
Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista also once considered inhibiting from cases filed against Poe, after the senator’s supporters said he is close to at least one of the petitioners. In a phone interview with Rappler, Bautista said he eventually decided not to inhibit himself from his “first big decision” as elections chief. – Rappler.com
