A new homelessness strategy is an important part of this.
A council press release:
BOLD and ambitious measures to tackle the housing crisis in Reading are being put forward in the council’s draft Homelessness Strategy.
The five-year plan includes building new council homes, providing modular temporary accommodation, setting up a new wholly-owned housing company and working more closely with the private rented sector.
Demand for affordable housing in Reading significantly outstrips supply while the number of people on the council’s housing register continues to grow.
As a result, the council is using more temporary accommodation, including Bed & Breakfast, which is putting pressure on the council’s budget at a time when the authority has sustained reductions in government funding of 40 per cent since 2013/14. B&B is also unsuitable and disruptive for homeless households.
New measures announced by the Chancellor earlier this year also dramatically reduced the council’s planned house building programme.
However, the council is committed to preventing homelessness wherever possible and to reducing the use of B&B and has been exploring all possible solutions.
The key three strands of the Homelessness Strategy are the prevention of homelessness, increasing the supply of temporary accommodation and increasing the supply of affordable permanent housing across all sectors:
Prevention of Homelessness
The council is working with partner organisations in the town to ensure tailored information about housing advice and support is available, for example, for young people seeking accommodation.
Evictions from private accommodation is one of the key reasons for homelessness and the private sector is critical to meeting future housing needs, so the council is creating and maintaining excellent working relationships with private landlords to raise standards of practice and accommodation.
Increasing the Supply of Temporary Accommodation
A planning application is being worked up to provide 18 new modular homes on council land at Lowfield Road, Caversham, to provide self-contained accommodation at a cost of £1.2 million. The units will provide warm, safe and fully equipped homes to meet urgent needs, reduce the number of families in B&B and reduce council expenditure by up to £234,000 per year.
A number of empty flats in Dee Park, which will form part of the regeneration project in the future, are being brought back into use for the benefit of local homeless families who have had to be placed in B&Bs outside Reading. The flats are not expected to be demolished until at least 2017. They will be let as temporary accommodation until they are required.
Increasing the Supply of Affordable Permanent Housing
Officers are seeking approval to work up a detailed business case to establish a housing company wholly-owned by Reading Borough Council. The company would buy properties on the open market with a proportion let at full market rent levels to cross-subsidise other homes rented at sub-market rents, aligned with housing benefit levels, to households at risk of homelessness.
The council is considering implementing new powers which will allow it to fulfil its homelessness duty of provision by placing people in suitable private rented accommodation. Properties would be sourced through the council’s recently launched Rent Guarantee Scheme (RGS) and potentially through the council’s own housing company.
Plans to build 1,000 council homes over 30 years had to be revised as a result of measures introduced in the Chancellor’s July emergency budget. However, the council is pushing ahead with plans to build 40 homes in Conwy Close, Tilehurst. This is in addition to 10 supported living flats now being built at Whitley Rise.
Other sites which cannot now be funded through the council’s new homes programme are being reviewed to see if there are other opportunities to increase the supply of affordable homes.
Councillor Richard Davies, Reading’s lead councillor for housing, said:
“The proposals we are putting forward in the draft Homelessness Strategy constitute a serious plan to tackle the problems of homelessness and long-term bed & breakfast stays which can have such an impact on Reading families.
“The plans are bold and ambitious, there is no doubt about that, but we have to do everything we can to tackle this unprecedented homeless problem caused by failure of the government to give people hope of an affordable, secure place to live.”
Members of the council’s Housing, Neighbourhood and Leisure Committee will consider the draft Homelessness Strategy at a meeting on Wednesday 18th November.
The council is also hosting a Housing Summit at Reading Town Hall on Tuesday 17th November.
The Housing Crisis – Reading’s Response: A Call to Action’ is a public event which will involve a host of organisations which could play a part in working with the council to tackle the current situation.
The evening will include talks from industry experts and workshops involving all attendees.
Cllr Davies said:
“This summit will be a call to action to a wide range of people across our town to come and bring their ideas to help the council deal with the Housing Crisis in Reading.
“I look forward to discussing what action the council is proposing and hearing what others have to contribute.”

Breathing is an important part of diving and swimming and even when using a snorkel gear package. Before you can perfect your swimming one of the skills that you will need to master is your breathing technique particularly how to hold your breath underwater.
Several physiological processes occur when your face hits cold water which makes you hold your breath. It is called the mammalian diving reflex.
The mammalian diving reflex causes a slowing down of the heart rate, vasoconstriction of the blood vessels and blood plasma flows through the body organs helping to protect them from the high pressure of deep dives.
Note that the mammalian dive reflex is not affected by wearing a swim cap as it is activated when the face hits the water.
This is where the heart rate slows down. It can be anywhere from 10% to 30%. Sometimes in trained individuals, it can be up to 50%.
The rate at which the heart beats drop when the face comes into contact with cold water is incredibly fast. Nerves on your face particularly the trigeminal facial nerves send information to the brain. As a response, the various nerve innervates which results in both peripheral vasoconstriction and bradycardia.
The temperature has a lot to do with how fast the body reacts and colder water causes a faster reaction. However, it’s important to note that warm water temperatures above 210C do not result in a reaction.
Since there is a low heart rate, the amount of oxygen pumped in the body is minimized which allows the mammalian body to conserve oxygen. You may find wearing swimming goggles makes your experience easier as water is kept out of your eyes.
This is where the blood vessel at the extremities such as the hands and limbs constrict reducing oxygen supply to the muscles in these areas. It allows the more essential body parts such as the heart, lungs, and other internals to receive priority in oxygen supply.
The reaction is meant to be protective or preventative in nature since it takes place before there is a critical drop in the oxygen levels.
If you plan on swimming on open water then triathlon goggles for open water swimming will help you maintain your vision by keeping water out of your eyes.
This is all part of the mammalian dive reflex. It often happens during deep high-pressure dives. Such pressure could cause damage to the internal organs. The blood shift allows blood plasma as well as water to pass through the circulatory walls and the organs themselves.
You may need to wear earplugs for swimming to keep water out and perhaps to slightly lower the pressure on the ears.
The lungs in particular will fill with blood plasma. When the pressure drops, the blood is then reabsorbed into the body. Besides, the blood plasma that accumulates in the lungs and other internal organs protect them since the fluid cannot compress. It is this blood that prevents the high pressure from compressing the lungs.
When vasoconstriction occurs, the majority of the blood is held in the lungs, the brain, the heart, and the circulatory system. These organs are the most sensitive to oxygen in the body and thus the body’s natural reaction is to ensure that they receive adequate amounts of the gas.
More body responses
Another type of body response that can be seen in infants of less than 6 months is when they are dropped in water. The windpipe will automatically shut near the vocal cords which prevents water from getting into the lungs. However, when the child grows beyond 6 months, the reflex is no longer there.
Study shows that the spleen has a significant role in allowing the diver to hold the breath for longer and to recover faster when they finally resurface.
The spleen contracts when the body is underwater at a slower pace than the other diving reflexes. Since it contains the red blood cells, they are released into the bloodstream. This allows the body to carry more oxygen enabling the diver to stay under for a longer duration. Also, more red blood cells mean that you can absorb more oxygen when breathing allowing the body to recover faster.
Diving marine mammals
Whales, seals, and dolphins all have a mammalian diving reflex that is far superior to ours. It allows them to stay under the surface for extended durations as they hunt for their food. In fact, seals and sperm whales can hold their breath for more than an hour.
The agility and depth that these animals can achieve are certainly unachievable for us even with using the best swim fins. The monofin design of marine mammals fins makes them highly adept in their watery world.
For starters, they have a high amount of blood containing high amounts of red blood cells. An iron-rich molecule called myoglobin is present in whale and seal tissue. This allows oxygen to bind to the molecule and enables the animal to remain without breathing for a long time.
If you were to hold whale meat in hour hands, you would notice that it is very red and this is because of the high iron content.
Another interesting ability of diving mammals is that they can cool down their brains. This allows them to dive deeper for longer. By bringing down their body and brain temperatures sometimes by up to 3 degrees Celsius, their metabolism reduces which also brings down their body’s consumption of oxygen.
While humans are not able to shoot down their blood supply completely, seals and other marine mammals can do this by concentrating the blood on the vital organs.
How to make use of the diving response
Activating the mammalian dive reflex can be one of the most effective ways to boost your performance during a swimming competition. And you don’t have to stick your head in freezing water either, simply take a towel, dip it in cold water, rinse it and place it on your forehead or above your nose.
This will cause your heart rate to drop, helping you relax and lowering your body’s consumption of oxygen. You will be able to use your swimming snorkels or stay underwater for longer than you would if you didn’t activate the dive response.
Globo Surf Overview
This goes to show how much similar anatomy there is between humans and diving marine mammals. That said, mammals have had millions of years of evolution which allows them to make the most of the diving response. Humans can also boost their ability in the water by making use of the diving response.

The performance fabric brand Sunbrella underwent a brand identity update, including a new logo, to acknowledge its 50-year heritage, while focusing on innovation and enhanced styling for today’s consumers.
Sunbrella’s yellow, red and blue umbrella has morphed into a stylized, deep orange umbrella. The type face has been updated with a cleaner, more contemporary look.
“When the previous logo was introduced, Sunbrella fabrics were primarily solid colors and broad stripes,” said Hal Hunnicutt, vice president of marketing for Glen Raven Custom Fabrics. “Sunbrella has progressed dramatically during the past decade. We wanted to retain elements of the brand that people are so familiar with and trust, yet give the identity a refresh that better reflects where Sunbrella is today and where it’s headed for the future.”
The new brand identity will be phased into various marketing elements over the next several months, including advertising, web, packaging and collateral materials.

Crisp County School System V Brown
Unsatisfied with the decision of the trial court, Crisp County School System made an appeal. The Court of Appeal found that the trial court had erred denying the appellants their motion for summary judgment. The judgment was reversed. Issue Whether the trial court erred in its decision of denying the appellants' motion for summary judgment. Facts On 16th September 1994, Wendell Herndon, the appellant who happens to be a physical education teacher and an employee at Crisp County School instructed his physical education class to accomplish an obstacle course that entailed traversing monkey bars. The statute specifically offers sovereign immunity. Being a political subdivision of Georgia State, Crisp County School is entitled to sovereign immunity unless the Constitution specifically waivers such immunity.
In fact, the right for sovereign immunity for Crisp County School from suits regarding torts was reserved expressly by the General Assembly. However, the issue does not fall under the Georgia Tort Claims Act which offers a limited waiver on the sovereign immunity of the state for its employees’ and officers’ torts but excludes school districts expressly. Reasoning The Court of Appeal found that Crisp County School did not fall under the Georgia Tort Claims Act. The court did not find any evidence showing that the decisions concerning the stated discretionary functions were embarked on either on an intent to cause injury or actual malice. Accordingly, the county board of education members was eligible to avow official immunity defense and to get summary judgment concerning claims declared against them in their individual capacities.

Chase Rice’s ‘Ignite the Night’ album serves up more of what fans love from the hit single ‘Ready Set Roll’ before offering some very satisfying, pensive ballads. The singer shows emotional depth, but not so much to distract fans from the unapologetic rock and R&B influenced showstoppers that make his live show an event to catch in 2014.
There's nothing country about Taylor Swift's new single 'Shake It Off,' and it's intentional. The just-announced lead single from the '1989' album is the 24-year-old's first official, self-decided pop song.
Summer gets even hotter with new albums on tap from Chase Rice, Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw. Learn all about these new projects during this New Music Minute, powered by the blazing new McDonald's Jalapeño Burger.
Blake Shelton dances with revenge during ‘Neon Light,’ the first single from the upcoming ‘Bringing Back the Sunshine’ album. Shelton’s heavy chill drives this bluesy country anthem forward. It’s about as mean as he’s ever been.
Chris Young fans need to work it just one more time to put the singer's new single into the Showdown Hall of Fame. 'Lonely Eyes' has made quick work of each of the four challengers it has faced so far. Today and Tuesday, the track from 'A.M.' is up against 'Mean to Me' by Brett Eldredge.
Montgomery Gentry only tweak their formula for ‘Headlights,’ their first new single in two years. The rock-country cut from an upcoming album features Eddie Montgomery on vocals and layer upon layer of electric guitars.
Three new videos have been added as challengers to Maddie & Tae's time at the top of the ToC Video Countdown. Eric Church and RaeLynn have brand new vids out as of this week, while Brantley Gilbert's new 'Small Town Throwdown' video is poised to make a push into the Top 10.
Chris Young won his third straight Showdown on Wednesday and Thursday, as 'Lonely Eyes,' the new single from 'A.M.,' thumped Craig Morgan's latest. His fans have proven to be amongst the best in country music, so
In ‘Homegrown Honey,’ Darius Rucker eases off the emotional throttle for another feel-good melody. “Infectious” is how one could describe the singer’s biggest hits, and this new single from an upcoming new album lives up to expectations.
Two of country music's top male vocalists will square off in today's Showdown song battle. Fans will have to decide if Chris Young's 'Lonely Eyes' is the better of two great, traditional country cuts. Or does Craig Morgan have the better song with 'We'll Come Back Around'?

Simon Calder: Tents: nervous headache for eclipse chasers?
Saturday 09 May 2009
Christmas 2010 will arrive early for the people of Easter Island: 11 July, to be precise. The residents of this Jersey-sized fragment peeking out from the South Pacific have the cosmological good fortune to lie astride the line of totality for next year's solar eclipse.
"Astronomical" describes both the phenomenon of the moon completely obscuring the sun for a few precious minutes, and the prices charged for witnessing what could be a profound experience.
Camping, as you know, is supposed to be newly cool – a thrifty way to continue to travel despite the economic gloom. Yet thrift is hardly the word to describe the offer from the adventure operator, Explore. The nine-day trip to Easter Island, including three nights' camping (plus three nights in hotels in mainland Chile), weighs in at £4,295. Once you have paid for your meals and a couple of celebratory drinks, call it £500 a day or £20 an hour.
Even at these prices, there are plenty of takers for the sun's disappearing trick: "We've had a waiting list for over a year," says Jason Beevis, Explore's product manager.
Reaching Easter Island is always tricky. The isle constitutes a good definition of the word "remote". The nearest land, 1,300 miles away, is Pitcairn Island – population a few dozen. The only flights to Easter Island are on the Chilean airline, LAN, from Santiago and Tahiti.
Whichever approach you choose, there is one certainty: the Boeing 767 will arrive with plenty of fuel aboard: if, for any reason, the island's Mataveri airport is closed, the nearest alternates are in mainland South America and French Polynesia, each a further five hours away.
The rewards, though, are immense. You will know about the strange stone figures of Easter Island, their expressions as impassive as they are immobile. These moai, as they are called, have mysterious roots deep in the tangled community that lived on Easter Island in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The prevailing wisdom is that these monumental sculptures were the artistic results of a power struggle among the five clans who jostled for control of the island.
While some of the human-like heads stand in neat rows, others are scattered randomly across the landscape, toppled during tribal fighting in the 18th century.
Less celebrated, but equally compelling, is the dramatic scenery of Easter Island. Rano Kau is a great gouge in the isle caused by a catastrophic eruption that tore through the Pacific Ocean; to perch on the lip of the crater, and peer down on the smouldering patchwork of water and rock is to feel on the edge of a disaster. Add in a pretty port, whose pastel fishing boats provide protein for the islanders, plus a sense of tranquility rare in South America, and Easter Island should be at the top of every travel wish-list.
Even when the heavens are not scheduled to lend a mystical dimension to the territory known officially as Isla Pascua, the lowest return ticket is around £1,200. I paid £2,000 for a round-the-world journey that included Easter Island.
Next July, fares will be far higher: "Flight costs alone are almost three times higher than normal," says Jason Beevis of Explore. Camping solves the problem that the island's limited supply of beds is already committed, as the islanders capitalise on their unique status.
The last eclipse I witnessed was 10 summers ago, when the line of totality swept over a corner of Cornwall – and the French port of Dieppe, where the Calder clan converged. At the appointed time, thick clouds rolled in. Disappointment was tempered by the excellent picnic my sisters provided, and the fact that the day-trip from Newhaven cost only £16. But according to Explore's rival eclipse chaser – confusingly named Explorers Tours – cloud is likely to spoil the view from Easter Island.
"We believe that the chance of decent weather on Easter Island is pretty poor, with a 60 per cent chance of cloud," says John Boughton, managing director of Explorers. "Tahiti offers by far the best chance of clear weather conditions along the eclipse path". (In contrast, Explore contends the chances of clear skies are the same in either location.)
Mr Boughton's company is chartering two aircraft to fly from Tahiti's main island (where the group will stay in a four-star hotel) to the French Polynesian atoll of Hao, which he claims offers better odds of success. A 10-night trip costs £3,999. Staying where, exactly? "We are in discussions with the mayor for an army barracks or a school. Worst case, we'll be camping."
Good luck to all who sign up with Explorers (01276 406877) and with Explore (0845 013 1539); pray to the gods of travel for clear skies.

McLaughlin's Mustang failure
V8 Supercars: Defending Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin had a nightmare start to life in the new Mustang.
UPDATE: Another race, another win for the series-dominating Scott McLaughlin.
The McLaughlin Mustang march continued as the Ford star romped to his 10th win of the Supercars season after sweeping the round at Winton Raceway on Sunday.
After starting on pole, McLaughlin wasn’t threatened throughout the race as his teammate Fabian Coulthard came in second to give DJR Team Penske its sixth one-two finish for the season.
Only a late safety car - called 10 laps from the finish when Will Davison ran off the track - denied McLaughlin a runaway win after the field was condensed.
Seven-time Supercars champion Jamie Whincup claimed third for the Red Bull Holden Racing Team as he continued to fight to revive his season.
McLaughlin already has more race wins this season than he did for the entire year in 2018 (nine) en route to his maiden Supercars title - and there is still nine rounds to go.
The defending champion has again extended his championship lead over Coulthard from 232 points to 244, while Whincup moved up from sixth to fifth in the standings.
“It has been an amazing weekend, two wins for our team, a pole and a one-two,’’ McLaughlin said.
“Great job by Fabs and the team to get up there, too. The cars were just ridiculously good and excited for the future and the rest of the year.
“We had a little kerfuffle yesterday and we got our butts kicked and we came back here today.”
McLaughlin’s victory came after a drama-filled win on Saturday when he tangled with Coulthard on lap one and raised eyebrows with an off-track short-cut that was deemed legal by officials.
Coulthard, who finished 15th on Saturday, said he needed to lift he he was to catch McLaughlin.
“He’s fast, there is no two ways about it. I just have to lift my game,’’ Coulthard said.
“But it’s not easy. He’s a class act, the race wins, the poles, he is on another scale.”
Less than half-way through the Supercars season, McLaughlin is already on track for one of the most dominant seasons on record.
Only five other drivers in history have had more than 10 race wins in a season - Craig Lowndes, Whincup, Mark Skaife, Garth Tander and Marcos Ambrose. Lowndes holds the record for most race wins in a year with 16 (1996), which McLaughlin has plenty of time to catch.
Earlier, McLaughlin set a lap record to claim his ninth pole position of the season, shading the previous best qualifying lap set by Tickford Racing’s Chaz Mostert in 2016.
It was McLaughlin’s 56th career pole position and he is now only one away from equalling the late Holden great Peter Brock in second on the all-time list for poles. Whincup holds the record with 80.
It was a much cleaner start to the race after Saturday, but Mostert’s race was cruelled after he ran off twice in the first two laps, pushing him to the back of the field, but he battled his way back to 10th.
Whincup’s teammate Shane van Gisbergen remains the best placed Holden driver in the championship in third place after he finished seventh.
Meanwhile, Whincup admits it doesn’t look like his team is making inroads in its quest to reel in the dominant Mustang, but insists there has been progress.
Whincup improved his standing in the championship after finishing third behind the DJR Team Penske pair of Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard at Winton yesterday.
The Red Bull Holden Racing Team driver’s result elevated him from sixth to fifth in the championship standings having slipped as low as ninth, but remains 478 points behind series leader McLaughlin.
But the gap between the Triple Eight Commodore and the pacesetting DJR Team Penske Mustangs was still telling on the track with Whincup trailing second-placed Coulthard by more than 10 seconds - and McLaughlin further ahead still - before a late safety car tightened the field.
Whincup said there was no “silver bullet” for the team’s performance, but was confident steps were being made in the right direction.
“It doesn’t look like it, does it?,” Whincup said when asked if he felt the team was making inroads.
“But we are happy with our progress. We were dead set very ordinary at Phillip Island and that was only two rounds ago. So we have made huge steps from there.
“So many components make up a race car, there is so much involved and it’s not just one thing. There is no silver bullet, we are not going to redesign a new shock absorber and ‘Boom, there you go’. It’s going to be lots of little things.
“We are a great team, got good people, it’s just a matter of chipping away.”
Whincup’s third was his fifth podium for the season, but he is yet to taste a race win as his teammate Shane van Gisbergen remains the only Holden winner this year.
When asked what was separating the DJR Team Penske Ford’s from the rest of the field, Whincup said the answer was simply car pace.
“It’s a tough ask to really fight hard and try to bridge the gap and make a competition of it,’’ Whincup said.
“We don’t want to slow those guys down, we want to really step up ... so I am looking forward to that challenge.”

Second, they must be underpinned by respect for human rights and dignity. All this gives rise to new questions about the meaning of literacy today.”
The Day has brought together more than 200 stakeholders and decision-makers from around the world to discuss and examine how digital technology can help close the literacy gap and evolve and monitor the necessary literacy skills needed in today’s societies. This is particularly important considering that 750 million illiterate people around the world, 63% of whom are women, still lack basic reading and writing skills.
“Traditionally, literacy has been considered a set of reading, writing and counting skills. The digital world calls for new, higher-level, competences on top of these,” said Ms Bokova.
Special guest, Her Royal Highness Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands and UNESCO Special Envoy on Literacy for Development, emphasized how literacy in today’s world is at heart of social participation and engagement. “There is no inclusiveness if we leave behind 750 million people who lack the basic literacy skills to participate in today’s digital world,” she said. “There is no social cohesion if we allow young people to develop feelings of exclusion and lack of self-confidence.”
H.E. Ms Sarah Anyang Agbor, Commissioner for Human Resources, Science and Technology from the African Union Commission, emphasized the aspect of inclusion for sustainable development. “When we consider the digital means, we should also consider non-digital means that also enhance our living,” she said. “Therefore we must ensure inclusion and proper interventions in using ICT in building sustainable societies for all.”
The opening was followed by a session on ‘Rethinking literacy in a digital world’ to explore the understanding of the broad skills needed in the 21st century. As the concept of literacy evolves, so does the skills demands from basic reading and writing skills to the ability to understand, engage and critically use e-services that are today replacing basic off-line services.
Promising programmes that advance literacy through an inclusive approach to technology were highlighted at the event. The 2017 UNESCO International Literacy Prizes winners from Canada Colombia, Jordan, Pakistan and South Africa, presented their programmes to illustrate how digital technologies can help promote literacy and create opportunities for lifelong learning.
Another topic discussed during the day was about risks and responses in a digital world. It focused on the need of inclusion of people in the information societies where the increasing digitization is deepening the digital divide and risks to marginalize illiterate people further. Representatives from the private sector, governments and educational organizations shared their views on the existing risks such as privacy and security, and how to minimize the divide through a more inclusive approach to technology.
The use of technologies to better asses and monitor literacy with digital tools, real time data and analytics, was also highlighted. Presenters from the OECD, UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the Kenya Institute of Curriculum examined the potential of digital technology to better monitor literacy learning and literacy levels.
At the end of the Day, the five laureates were officially awarded at the UNESCO International Literacy Prizes awards ceremony by the Director-General.
The two awards of the UNESCO King Sejong Literacy Prize dedicated to mother-tongue literacy education and training, sponsored by the Republic of Korea, were given to:
- Centre for the Study of Learning & Performance (CSLP) at Concordia University (Canada), for the Using Educational Technology to Develop Essential Educational Competencies in Sub-Saharan Africa project, which develops and distributes its material internationally free of charge.
- We Love Reading (Jordan), a programme with a virtual community that offers online read-aloud trainings for parents, mobilizes volunteers to read aloud in community spaces to children and provides age-appropriate material through a digital library.
The three awards of the UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy, supported by the Government of the People’s Republic of China and rewarding work that benefits rural populations and out-of-school youth, particularly girls and women, were given to:
- AdulTICoProgram of the Secretariat of Information and Communications Technologies of the city of Armenia (Colombia), for teaching digital competencies to seniors.
- The Citizens Foundation (Pakistan) for its Aagahi Literacy Programme for Women and Out-of-School Girls, which conducts digital educational needs assessments and provides teaching services to support the education of younger girls and older women.
- FunDza (South Africa) for its readers and writers project to develop a culture of reading and writing for pleasure through an online platform that provides reading courses and writing competitions as well as connecting readers and writers.
International Literacy Day is celebrated annually worldwide and brings together governments, multi- and bilateral organizations, NGOs, private sectors, communities, teachers, learners and experts in the field. It is an occasion to mark achievements and reflect on ways to counter remaining challenges for the promotion of literacy as an integral part of lifelong learning within and beyond the 2030 Education Agenda.

The two year-long special counsel investigation into claims of “collusion” (which is not, in fact, a criminal term) between the Trump Campaign during the 2016 Presidential Election and Russian intelligence continues to drag on. After two years, the investigation has yielded no proof that there was, in fact, a conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and Russian intelligence to steal the election in 2016 away from Hillary Clinton–despite the fact that Mueller has unprecedented investigatory powers to discover the truth.
What has been “discovered” are things that most people who work in politics already knew: the one-time, temporary Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had a shady history and likely engaged in financial crimes throughout his decades working as an international political consultant prior to working on the Trump Campaign. Another “discovery” that Roger Stone, Manafort’s one-time business partner and a consultant for President Trump at the start of his campaign, was a gonzo media figure who enjoyed stirring controversy. Still another headline was the fact that young, ambitious, foreign policy “aide” in the early days of the Trump Campaign, George Papadopulous, got himself caught up in a Monty Python-like scheme by the combined intelligence services of Britain and Australia to make Donald Trump look unpalatable to the American voters (since they favored Hillary Clinton).
The best summary of what happened with the Russian investigation is from Dan Bongino and can be seen here:
The young and naïve Papadopoulos was foolish enough to take the bait and get himself thrown in prison for a measly 14 days!
The running absurdity that was the Russia collusion delusion was allowed to continue on, as though there was some big piece of evidence about to be revealed. For his part, President Donald J. Trump allowed the investigation to begin, insisting that he was innocent the entire time. How many guilty men would sign a document allowing for the creation of the Robert Mueller special investigation? Think about it.
Certainly, the “mainstream” media has been a great help to the Mueller investigation. They’ve served as the unofficial mouthpiece for the investigation, consistently leaking unfair and biased details about the investigation, all in an effort to effectively flush out those they want to destroy. Since the investigation–or, rather, the witch hunt as the President calls it–numerous Trump aides have had their reputation destroyed and the finances crippled.
For what? To defend Hillary Clinton’s honor (or lack thereof)?
The entire Mueller investigation is an embarrassment for the intelligence community; it is a living embodiment of the decay that had set in over the course of the Obama Administration since this investigation was nothing more than an Obama Administration attempt to destroy his successor before Trump could even take office.
The recent Paul Manafort indictment memo, written by the Mueller investigation, shows how weak their case is. Mueller, a seasoned prosecutor, chose to release the memo on a late Friday afternoon, when few in Washington (or the country) pay attention to the news. He likely did this for a simple reason: despite the memo being 800 pages long, only 25 pages are worth reading. And, of those 25 pages, they prove only that Manafort was a White-Collar criminal. All of his crimes were perpetrated long before he ever joined the Trump Campaign and most of them would have sent anyone else to a minimum security prison. But, given that Paul Manafort was nominally associated with President Trump, he had to be destroyed.
The longer the Mueller investigation has gone on, the more obvious it has become that there is nothing more to the charges being raised against the President. This is not only a witch-hunt, but this is a grotesque abuse of power based on accusation. One can expect more leaked disclosures from the Mueller team, all of whom fully understand that they’ve been doggedly pursuing the President because of personal and political animus, not because he broke the law–and certainly not because he was a Russian agent of influence. Further, this investigation proves but one thing: how radical and corrupt the Democratic was as well as their allies in the Fake News Industrial Complex and the “Deep State” bureaucracy.

Sunshine feat. Louise Burns "French Exit (Jeremy Glenn Remix)"
Vancouver band Sunshine is treated to a remix here from Toronto's Jeremy Glenn, who blends equal parts UK funky and glowing, Italo-flecked disco sounds on his version of "French Exit." Glenn throws everything from the original track right out the window, save for the basic melodies hiding somewhere in that running bassline; the vocals are shuffled and tossed up into the air, coming down only to melt with the synthwork that gradually fades into the mix. "French Exit (Jeremy Glenn Remix)" follows a heavy string of EPs from the producer in the past two years, and brings word of a forthcoming album slated to appear in the earlier part of 2013.


Colton Haynes is warming up his vocal chords.
I can exclusively reveal that the Scream Queens actor is getting ready to make his live singing debut at Gotta Have Faith, VH1 Save The Music's upcoming George Michael tribute concert in New York City.
No word yet on what song Haynes will be performing, but he tells me, "I'm just so excited to be a part of this because I've been a fan since I was a kid and he's such an iconic inspiration to so many people and never strayed away from his own sound and being himself and that's so admirable. He's made so many people feel deep emotion through his music, myself included and to be a part of this incredible night is truly an honor."
The concert will celebrate Michael's Grammy-winning career from his days with Wham! to his legendary solo years. The "Careless Whisper" hit-maker was just 53 when he died in late December.
The lineup for the evening already includes Madam Secretary's Erich Bergen (he's producing the concert, too), Tituss Burgess, Cheyenne Jackson, current Hamilton star Javier Muñoz, as well as Eric Hutchinson and Jon McLaughlin. All will be backed by a full orchestra.
"We're thrilled to have Colton on board," Bergen says. "I had to corner him at Men's Fashion Week and beg him to do this. And he said yes! What a thrill! I'm equally as thrilled about our whole roster of performers. It's gonna be a wild night. Can't wait!"
Radio personality Elvis Duran will host the event, which benefits VH1 Save The Music Foundation's work to restore school music programs in the U.S and takes place April 24 at New York City's Highline Ballroom. More performers are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Sitting at a patio table listening to the water fountain and live music on a summer evening with a friendly waiter and delicious food was a wonderful experience. The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. We split an appetizer of crab cakes that were huge. Many levels of flavors from the sauce. The same with the chile relleno - it was elevated by the cream sauce and pomengranete seeds. The affordable wine list was much appreciated. I can't wait to go back the next time I visit Taos. Great location just behind the plaza with a large parking lot.

Basic Poker Tells.
Many new poker players will hear the words "poker tells" and think of some strange idiosyncrasy that an opponent would have that will give away their hand without a shadow of a doubt. For example the KGB eating his Oreo cookies when he had a monster hand in the movie Rounders. While these types of tells certainly exist, there are a lot more common tells that nearly all players exhibit, even the pros. I'm going to review some of those tells here.
Weak Means Strong, Strong Means Weak
One of the first things you'll hear when talking about poker tells is "weak means strong, Strong means weak." Poker is a game of deception so often times your opponent will attempt to appear strong, when he holds a weak hand and weak when he holds a strong hand. There are two areas I would like to discuss regarding this concept: betting tactics and table posture.
First, let's talk about betting. Say, you have an average flop with no pair, and no likely straight or flush draw, and your opponent suddenly bets two or three times the size pot. By betting this much, he is making it very difficult for you to have the pot odds to justify calling. So why would he make a bet that size unless he wanted to force you to fold? What do you think he has? My guess is that he either has nothing and is trying to buy the pot, or he has an ok hand and is trying to make it too expensive for anyone drawing to a better hand to stick around. Think about it. If he had a really good hand, would he bet so much and force people out of the pot. Probably not, he'd bet a modest amount in an attempt to lure others into betting. By betting so much, he is hoping that you will fold and give him the pot right there. It is still possible that he has a good, hand, and was either over anxious when betting, or isn't experienced enough to bet low enough to encourage calls, but most likely, he trying to force people out.
The opposite can also be true. When a good player flops the nuts, they aren't going to go all in and force you to fold. He is going to try to check-raise you, or check-call to get you to put more money in the pot. Or maybe he'll bet the minimum to trick you into raising. Now, this isn't always the case, there will be times when he checks because the flop missed him completely, but keep in mind that poker is a game of deception, and players will often try to represent a hand the is the opposite of what they have.
The other weak means strong, strong means weak behavior that is relatively easy to pick up is how a player acts after making a large bet. If for example if he goes all in, and then sits back and acts passive, avoiding eye contact and looking like he is trying to appear non-threatening, then there's a good chance he has a pretty good hand. Alternately, if after making a large bet your opponent stares you down, daring you to make a call, then his hand may not be so great. The subconscious thinking on the part of your opponent here, is that when he has a good hand and wants you to call, he will try to appear as non threatening as possible, playing 'possum to lure you into calling him. When he thinks you might have him beaten, he will try to intimidate you into folding and just giving him the pot. Most of the time, a player will not be aware that he is doing this, you just have to be observant, and try to determine why your opponent would be acting a certain way.
Checking Hole Cards
When a flop comes up with multiple connectors, or suited cards, and your opponent checks back and forth from his hole cards to the board, you can be pretty sure that he is drawing to a straight, or a flush, and has not made his hand yet. The reason behind this is that if he made the straight or flush, chances are that he would know it, and when his hand doesn't hit, he is rechecking to see if he is missing anything. If he keeps checking after the turn and river, and his betting doesn't imply that he made the hand, you can be pretty sure he has a busted straight. In order to prevent this tell yourself, you need to learn to memorize your cards, and not look back to them during the hand.
Ever flopped a monster hand, and felt that surge of adrenaline as your heartbeat goes into overtime? Well the same thing happens to your opponent. And that adrenaline boost will often cause your hands to shake. Now there can be other reasons that cause someone's hands to shake, but if it's uncharacteristic of your opponent, and you notice it, perhaps in conjunction with other tells mentioned, beware of a huge hand, and only stay in when you have the nuts.
For a much more thorough discussion of poker tells and how to exploit them, check out Mike Caro's book Mike Caro's Book of Poker Tells. He goes into much more detail and covers many more tells than I could possibly cover here.

Nevada Wolf Pack hosts Wyoming Cowboys on Wednesday
WYOMING (10-4, 1-0) AT NEVADA (13-2, 2-0)
When: Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Lawlor Events Center (11,536)
TV/Radio: CBS Sports Network/630 AM
Coaches: Wyoming’s Allen Edwards is 33-19 in his second year; Nevada’s Eric Musselman is 65-34 in his 3rd year
Projected starters: WYOMING: F Alan Herndon (12.8, 5.4) and Hayden Dalton (17.5, 8.1); G Cody Kelley (5.8, 2.7), Alex Aka Gorski (6.9, 2.1) and Justin James (16.0, 6.4); NEVADA: F Jordan Caroline (17.0, 9.4) and Caleb Martin (19.0, 5.5); G Lindsey Drew (7.0, 3.3), Kendall Stephens (11.4, 1.6) and Cody Martin (13.0, 6.2)
News & Notes: The Cowboys have been great in the second half lately. Wyoming is shooting over 50 percent from the field in six straight games in the final 20 minutes. Wyoming shot 60 percent from the field in the second half against Eastern Washington. UW is averaging 41 points in the second half this season… Wednesday’s game is a matchup of last two College Basketball Invitational champions. The Pack claimed the 2016 title, the first postseason title for a MW team, and the Cowboys won last season …The Pack’s current 12-game home win streak is tied for the sixth longest in school history … Nevada’s RPI sits at 22 with a strength of schedule of 47 and opponent strength of schedule of 85 … Nevada has trailed for a sum total of 53 seconds.
RENO — Two streaks are on the line when the Wyoming Cowboys visit Nevada on Wednesday.
Nevada has won its first two Mountain West games, and is seeking to get its first 3-0 conference start under coach Eric Musselman. It would be the best start since the 2013-14 team under David Carter started 4-0. The Pack is also putting its 12-game home win streak on the line.
It won’t be easy. The Cowboys average 8.9 3-pointers a game, and the health of the Wolf Pack is a major issue. Musselman indicated sophomore Josh Hall isn’t likely to play for the second straight contest.
The Cowboys hit 12 3-pointers against San Diego State in a mild 82-69 upset of the Aztecs. It was the first time since the Cowboys played Pacific they’ve made 10 or more free throws.
“Wyoming can really shoot the 3 and they play fast,” Nevada coach Eric Musselman said. “Obviously (Hayden) Dalton is a guy we have to be concerned with what he did against San Diego State (36 points). (Justin) James is good at isolation, 1 on 1 and getting to the basket. (Cody) Kelley is doing a good job of running the show and knocking down 3s. (Alan) Herndon can hit 3s and does a good job posting up.
“We have to guard the 3. We did a great job against Davidson (after an initial 3-for-3 outburst). Wyoming presents a lot of different problems. Wyoming has a lot of guys that have played together multiple years. All we can do is try to get ready and defend the 3.”
Lindsey Drew said 6-10 Alan Herndon and the 6-8 Dalton are playing well.
“Hayden went for more than 30 (36 against San Diego State), so we have to challenge him,” said the Nevada junior. “James is an athletic 3 man.”
Dalton’s 36-point outburst was the most points by an individual player in the Arena-Auditorium since Ugo Udezue had 36 against Colorado on Dec. 9, 1998. It was also the most points by a UW player since Larry Nance, Jr. scored 38 at Denver on Dec. 15, 2013.
“We have to come out with energy right from the start,” said reserve guard Hallice Cooke. “We have to take away the 3 and get back on defense. They like to get out in transition.”
Playing with pace may be a challenge for the Pack. Musselman said after the 77-74 win over New Mexico several players were ailing with flu-like symptoms.
“Not good,” Musselman said when asked about the team’s health. “Some guys are sicker and a couple aren’t at practice. We just have to go out and play the game.
“Caleb yelled at me during the (New Mexico) game to call timeout. That (being sick) is why he wanted a timeout. That hadn’t come out of his mouth yet this year. They are all drinking as much fluid and getting as much sleep as they can. Whatever medicine the doctor prescribed they’re taking.”
Musselman said he wants to continue to play up tempo.
“Our biggest concern, it’s not our bye week, how do we get healthy enough to sustain energy during the course of the game. I thought it affected us against New Mexico as the game wore on.
“We are not going to slow the game down. We’re going to look to push and play with pace.”
Musselman, who will be playing with essentially an eight-person team if Hall doesn’t play, may use 6-7 Elijah Foster and 6-8 Darien Williams more than he has lately in an effort to give guys extra rest.
Nevada came into the conference season as the team to beat, and Musselman was asked about being the team to beat.
“One thing as I’ve gotten older is I worry about the game in front of you,” he said. “Nobody can dictate how the season is going to unfold. We have done a good job of being focused and ready to play every night except the USF game (66-64 loss). It was right before the holidays and we were not ready to play.
“We have to figure out how to beat Wyoming, regroup, and go on the road and play against Air Force. I don’t look at who is winning right now.”

What is it that makes your heart fill with joy? Whether it happens to be something creative like art or music or if you love showing off your prized collection of hockey memorabilia, your custom home build presents the perfect opportunity to let your personality shine.
Because the sky is (almost!) the limit when you get to plan and design your home from scratch, it can feature whatever your heart desires! Below are just a few of the many possibilities a custom home build can afford you and your unique interests.
Art Studio or Craft Space
Creative artsy types greatly benefit from having a dedicated space for their craft. Whether you are a painter, a sculptor, or are into sewing or scrapbooking, having a room that is just for your creative supplies is a must.
An art studio not only keeps your supplies organized with built-in storage, you can also ensure that it is an inspired space - perhaps large bright windows or paint colours. You can set up this art studio or craft space so that when you walk in, all you have to think about is creating something meaningful and beautiful.
Jam Spaces and Studios
If music is your passion, designing an acoustic sound room with equipment for creating and recording your songs could be the perfect option. From the carpet to the wall coverings to custom built-in storage for equipment, you can create a state-of-the-art home studio. No more jamming in the garage for you! You can play your music and experiment with sound in your brand new studio space - with no need to worry about disturbing the neighbours.
Library and Reading Den
For the bookworms, a library or reading nook spot is a dream come true. Have you always dreamed of one of those sliding ladders a la Belle in Beauty and the Beast? With custom floor-to-ceiling shelving it’s completely possible! Not to mention, custom shelving means you can beautifully display your entire book collection.
Adding a custom fireplace with a comfy overstuffed chair is the perfect reading nook for the avid reader. Brew some tea, close the door and dive into a book for the afternoon.
You can go ahead and cancel your gym membership when you create your very own home gym.. A treadmill, an exercise ball, some free weights, built-in speakers and a wall-mounted television will give you the exercise space you need to get your workout in without having to leave home!
The key to making your home gym feel professional is proper flooring with exercise mats and ergonomically designed padding. Adding a self-cooling water station or juice bar ensures you will stay hydrated during your workout.
If you're a movie buff, a home theatre is the perfect option for you. Make this space your own by designing it with a few large sectionals for you and your family, or create a true theatre feel by adding several lounge chairs for each person.
Complete the setup with either a large plasma screen television or opt for an authentic theatrical projector along with surround sound. With dimming recessed lighting, it will be the coziest theatre you have ever been to. Adding an old fashioned popcorn machine will tie the whole experience together!
Meditation and Yoga Room
Many people who practice yoga and meditation like to do so early in the morning. This is a little more difficult when you have to leave your home to attend a class or studio. Think of how relaxed you’d be if you could create a yoga or meditation space in your own home. You could even add some technological elements like a surround sound stereo system for calming music or large windows for an array of natural light.
With simple design elements like plush carpeting and minimal furnishings, you can create a serene room ideal for taking that quiet time you need for rejuvenation any time of the day.
Collection Area or Mini-Museum
If you are a collector of any sort, you don't want your entire collection to be stored away where no one can see it. A custom showcase room could become a perfect spot for your collected treasures.
From clocks or historical findings, to antique toys or model cars, all collections deserve to be treated like the beloved items they are. With display cases and directional lighting, your custom collector’s room can become a mini museum for all of your prized possessions.
The bottom line is, with a custom build, you can personalize your home however you desire. Spend more time doing what you love, whenever you want to do it; from music rooms to theatres, home gyms to art studios your custom home builder will be able to make your dream spaces a reality - the only thing you have to do is dream big!

New models - Audi - A4 - 2.0 TFSI range
First drive: A4 gains dual-clutch gearbox
Audi’s A4 volume sedan and wagon offer S-tronic – at a price
18 May 2009
AUDI’S BMW 3 Series chaser has finally adopted a dual-clutch manual gearbox, known as S-tronic, or DSG.
Available now, the A4 2.0 TFSI quattro opens proceedings from $73,990, or $76,730 for the Avant wagon variant.
No rival can match this model A4’s gearbox for less than $100,000.
The A4 joins the $79,900 A5 Coupe 2.0 TFSI quattro and Q5 mid-sized SUV as the only Audis to combine S-tronic with a longitudinal drivetrain application.
Previously, only transverse drivetrain models from the Ingolstadt, Germany-based company, such as the Volkswagen Golf-derived A3 and TT, boasted DSG/S-tronic.
All use a variation of the 2.0-litre turbocharged direct petrol injection four-cylinder engine introduced in the B7 A4 range in March 2005.
In the current B8 A4 it joins the $70,600 2.0 TFSI quattro sedan with a six-speed manual gearbox, and is 20 per cent more economical than in its B7 A4 application.
Fitted with variable valve timing, chain drive for the camshafts, a new intercooler design and a host of friction minimisation measures, it develops 155kW of power between 4300 and 6000rpm, and 350Nm of torque between 1500 and 4200rpm.
Drive is sent to all four wheels via Audi’s trademark Torsen differential quattro all-wheel drive system working. In most circumstances the rear axle has 60 per cent of available torque and the front end drives 40 per cent, for more of a rear-wheel drive ‘feel,’ although up to 65 per cent of drive can be delivered to the front end while the rear wheels can handle up to 85 per cent.
From standstill, the 1530kg A4 2.0 TFSI quattro manual sedan can sprint to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds (1565kg S-tronic: 6.5s), reach 246km/h (S-tronic: 245km/h), average 7.4 litres of 95 RON premium unleaded petrol per 100km (S-tronic: 7.5L/100km), and emit 173 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre (S-tronic: 179g/km).
The 1605kg Avant version is just as rapid to 100km/h, 9km/h slower overall, 0.3L/100km thirstier and 10g/km filthier than its manual sedan sibling.
Audi says the 155kW/350Nm A4 2.0 TFSI quattro S-tronic – the expected bestselling model with this powerplant – compares favourably with its direct rivals from Germany, the $75,900 160kW/250Nm BMW 325i sedan auto (8.8L/100km, CO2: 212g/km, 0-100km/h: 7.7s) and $87,694 170kW/300Nm Mercedes-Benz C 280 sedan auto (9.4L/100km/230g/km/7.2s).
Along with the usual array of airbags and electronic driving aids such as anti-lock brakes and stability and traction controls, the A4 2.0 TFSI quattro also includes leather upholstery, High Intensity Discharge Xenon ‘Plus’ headlights with LED driving lights, three-zone climate control air-conditioning, keyless-entry and keyless start, electrically adjustable front seats, mobile phone preparation with Bluetooth connectivity, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Audi is counting on the 2.0 TFSI quattro to account for between 15 and 20 per cent of all A4 volume.

UF shooting guard Michael Frazier II was ready to move on as soon as the final buzzer sounded Thursday.
Frazier also knew he would have to relive his exasperating day against Albany. There were lessons to be learned.
It took the No. 1 Gators awhile to find their bearings during a lackluster 67-55 win over the Great Danes to open the NCAA Tournament. Yet, Frazier — the focal point of No. 16 Albany's game plan on defense — never did.
A day after he scored just three points on 1 of 5 shooting in 31 minutes, Frazier expected he'd receive similar attention on Saturday from No. 9 Pittsburgh. Tipoff is at 12:15 p.m. in the Amway Center and the game will air on CBS.
The 6-foot-4 sophomore also hoped to handle the pressure better after watching film of the Albany game.
"If they're going to try to take me out of the game, it's going to open up things for my teammates," he said on Friday. "I can't get frustrated, keep playing the game, trying to help the game any way I can."
Frazier, a sophomore from Tampa, pitched in on defense, had two assists and did not force things Thursday.
But the Gators (33-2) will need Frazier to be himself Saturday against Pittsburgh (26-9).
"He's their best shooter, best perimeter threat and shoots a high percentage from 3," Panthers coach Jamie Dixon said. "If he makes of couple of shots he can break a game open."
The Gators' four senior starters have set the tone for a record-setting season with their energy, consistency and clutch play.
Yet, no Gator produces instant offense like Frazier, the other member of the starting five. Frazier averages 12.6 points per game, but can score points in bunches.
He has hit 108 3-pointers this season, five shy of Lee Humphrey's school record.
"He's one of the best shooters in college basketball right now," Pitt guard Chris Jones said of Frazier. "We just have to stay attached to him and not let him get going."
Frazier has been at his best lately, shooting 58 percent from 3-point range (29 of 50) during the month of March.
Frazier's school-record 11 3s at South Carolina highlight the seven-game stretch this month, but he has had at least three in all but one game prior to Thursday — a nip-and-tuck battle against Tennessee.
Frazier hit three quick 3s and scored 11 of his team's first 12 points to help the Gators to a fast start during last Sunday's 61-60 win against Kentucky in the SEC Tournament title game. He later added a 3-pointer to end a Gators' scoring drought of nearly five minutes and help stave off the Wildcats' comeback.
Four days later, Albany coach Will Brown slapped a triangle-and-two on the Gators, holding Frazier without a field-goal attempt for the first 14:50 of the game.
UF turned to other options and finally wore down the Great Danes, who were 21.5-point underdogs.
"We kept pounding the rock, getting into the lane, getting Pat [Young] some touches and we came out with the win," sophomore forward Dorian Finney-Smith said.
It was not pretty and only moderately effective.
The Gators are at their best when Frazier, Finney-Smith and Scottie Wilbekin — the team's best outside shooters — are knocking down 3s. The Gators hit 24 of them during the three-day SEC Tournament.
"It opens up the floor," Finney-Smith said. "It's just a complete offense when we're hitting outside shots."
The 3-point line has been vital to coach Billy Donovan's success for a long time, but his best teams have found other ways to win.
This season's record-setting squad is no different, beginning with one of the best defenses in college basketball.
But like Humphrey, the unsung hero of Donovan's two national title teams, Frazier can turn a great team into an unstoppable one. With the Sweet 16 in sight, Frazier hopes to see a better effort against Pitt, which is holding its last four oppoents to 24.2-percent shooting (15 of 62) from beyond the arc.
"We have to come out with more energy and better focus at the start of the game," he said. "I think we'll do that on Saturday."


A Smart house is a house with building automation. They usually have centralized control lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems to provide improves convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.
The way it works is that the desired devices or home appliance which have sensors or motion detectors are connected to a computer network to be controlled by a personal computer, remote control device, ipads or phone gadgets. It may also allow control from the internet. You can literally connect to the internet and check if everything is in order in your house, lock the doors or perhaps you forgot to feed the pet.
Usually sensors are integrated to the devices or appliances, for example a fridge has a sensor that detects when the last bottle of milk is taken from the refrigerator using an RFID (Radio Frequency Identity) tag and sends a message to the milk store to refill. Common examples are sound detectors that can recognize a clap and respond by turning on the light.
Imagine walking into your home, at the sensing of your presence plays your favorite music, warms your pizza , turns on the light and even adjusts the temperature (HVAC) to suit you without a touch of a button.
Motion detectors can turn off the lights when it senses that no one is in the building thus saving energy. In a situation were no one is at home and the alarm is set, the house can send signals to the controller when someone enters or call an emergency number.

Head of the Mission of China to African Union (AU)
Recently, Chinese government released the white paper: Poverty Alleviation: China’s Experience and Contribution. It truly records China’s grand history of eliminating extreme poverty from five aspects, comprehensively introduces China’s exploration and practice of poverty reduction, and fully shares China’s way of poverty alleviation, which has attracted extensive attention from the international community.
China is the largest developing country and Africa is a continent with the largest number of developing countries. We may say, China’s poverty alleviation practices have explored new paths for poverty reduction in Africa and provided experience for reference.
At the end of 2020, China achieved the goal of eliminating extreme poverty – a key goal for the new era of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. The 98.99 million people in rural areas who were living below the current poverty threshold all shook off poverty; all the 128,000 impoverished villages and 832 designated poor counties got rid of poverty.
China has eliminated poverty over entire regions, eradicated extreme poverty and achieved the ‘mission impossible’. I would like to share three points with my African friends about poverty alleviation in China:
First, the root cause of success of Chinese poverty alleviation is the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC.
No matter how the domestic and international situation changes, the Party has always followed a people-centered philosophy. It has borne in mind its founding mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and national rejuvenation, and united and led the people in fighting poverty with firm convictions and a strong will.
Plenty of Party members have worked with diligence and a spirit of dedication to gain people’s happiness. More than 1,800 Party members and officials have lost their lives in the cause of poverty alleviation, fulfilling their mission and their pledge to the people. China’s poverty elimination effort in the new era is the full and vivid expression of the CPC’s mission of serving the people wholeheartedly.
Second, the reason why China could succeed in the fight against poverty is because China’s poverty alleviation covered all Chinese people. No one has got rid of poverty until all have got rid of poverty, no one shall be left behind on the road of poverty elimination.
In the five autonomous regions and the three provinces with a large multi-ethnic population, which include Xinjiang Autonomous Region, the number of the poor dropped by an accumulate total of 15.6 million. Extreme poverty was eliminated in all 28 minority ethnic groups with a small population.
In Xinjiang Autonomous Region, all the 3666 impoverished villages and 32 designated poor counties got rid of poverty, thus over 3 million people living in poverty shook it off.
Under great efforts made by the Chinese government, there have been no violent terrorist incidents in Xinjiang for more than 4 consecutive years, which provides solid foundation for Xinjiang’s poverty elimination. People of all ethnic groups cherish this hard-won stable life.
Some Western media can not appreciate China’s efforts and achievements in poverty alleviation and counter-terrorism in Xinjiang. Without any evidence, they accuse China of ‘genocide’. Their purpose is to vilify China’s image, destabilize China, and contain China’s development. The Chinese government and people are firmly opposed to any external forces interfering in China’s internal affairs with the context of Xinjiang-related issues, and are determined to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
Third, China’s success in poverty alleviation has also injected a ‘heart booster’ into the cause of poverty reduction in the world. Poverty is a chronic affliction of human society. It brings out associated problems, including hunger, diseases, and social conflicts, which seriously impede people’s pursuit of a better life. It is a common challenge faced by all mankind.
China is home to nearly one fifth of the world’s population. Its complete eradication of extreme poverty – the first target of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – 10 years ahead of schedule, is a milestone in the history of the Chinese nation, which also makes an important contribution to the cause of global poverty alleviation.
The practice of poverty reduction in China shows that poverty is not destined, nor invincible. The valuable experience that China has explored in its poverty reduction practice is the common wealth of China and Africa.
China would like to actively share its poverty alleviation experience and continue to work with Africa as good brothers who support each other, good partners for common development, and good comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe. We will work together to eradicate extreme poverty, and promote the construction of China-Africa community with a shared future.

Participants at the 26th meeting of the Economic Cooperation Organization's Council of Ministers called for the formation of an inclusive government in Afghanistan.
Speaking at the meeting, the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said that "undoubtedly, the establishment of an inclusive government in Afghanistan can not only help the aid programs and reconstruction of the country, but it will also reduce the threats caused by terrorist operations, refugees and drug trafficking for the region."
The Islamic Emirate in reaction to the meeting said that there is no problem in governance of Afghanistan.
"The subjects relate to internal issues of Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate takes steps towards it based on the interest of the country and Islamic values in order to solve the problems but we don't have serious problems in governance," said Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate.
The political analysts believe that Afghanistan's presence is important at such meetings.
"It is still not late for the Islamic Emirate to use soft and diplomatic language and also flexibility inside Afghanistan," said Ahmad Khan Andar, a political analyst.
The summit was held on January 24, 2023, in Uzbekistan.
Delegations of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Republic of Tajikistan, Republic of Turkiye, Turkmenistan and Republic of Uzbekistan (host) as well as the ECO Secretary General participated in the meeting.

I would love it if folks could take a moment and give me some input on where I can find FREE designs for making scroll saw jewelry. I thought, perhaps, someone might be able to help me find jewelry designs that are not made of wood, but could be adapted. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Black Sabbath icon Tony Iommi recalled the time he collaborated with Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl for an album and explained why the Foo frontman wanted to replace Pearl Jam’s Matt Cameron during his recent interview with BBC Radio.
Tony Iommi released his debut solo studio album entitled ‘Iommi’ on October 17, 2000, with which the guitarist proved that he could preserve his fame and success as a solo artist too. He teamed up with several musicians such as Queen’s Brian May, Pantera’s Phil Anselmo, and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam’s Matt Cameron.
In addition to them, Dave Grohl joined Iommi’s album to perform ‘Goodbye Lament’ alongside Brian May. The guitarist thought that Grohl would only sing the track, but as it turns out, he wanted to play the drums as well. Unfortunately, Iommi told him that he already had a drummer, Cameron.
However, Grohl insisted on performing as a drummer in the song, so the Black Sabbath guitarist left the decision to the manager. Eventually, the Foo Fighters frontman’s wish came true, and he replaced Matt Cameron in ‘Goodbye Lament,’ but Matt played the drums in four other tracks.
In Iommi’s words, he said:
“It was exciting, a bit daring for me because I didn’t know, I didn’t meet some of them, but it sort of worked. Using Dave Grohl, it was great. Dave was really enthusiastic but it was a bit awkward as well because the track Dave sang on, he said, ‘Can I play drums?’
I said, ‘Well, I already have a drummer,’ which was the drummer from Soundgarden – Matt Cameron, and Dave said, ‘Well, I’d like to play drums.’ Oh, dear… So I left it to the producer. I said, ‘Dave wants to play drums…’ Anyway, Dave ended up playing drums on it, but it was a good experience working with different people.”
