Judge hit his 22nd homer and is batting .256 with three homers and five RBIs since returning from the injured list on July 28. The home run was the longest at Miami this season.
“Any time we can add more runs they feel great,” Judge said. “I feel the past couple of games we’ve had guys on base and just haven’t gotten the big hit. Today we had a couple of clutch hits.”
Volpe hit his 15th homer, putting the Yankees ahead with his second-inning shot off Jesús Luzardo’ (8-7).
“I never set any goals or anything like that,” Volpe said. “I just want to compete every day and try to help the team win.”
Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes went back on the injured list because of a strained left rotator cuff. Randy Vásquez (2-1) allowed two runs and three hits in 3 2/3 innings.
“The preparation was the same, I was just focused on what I had to do,” Vásquez said. “The plan was to attack the hitters early and get into good counts.”
Kyle Higashioka had three hits, including a two-run single in the ninth, and Gleyber Torres doubled, singled and drove in a run.
New York was 7 for 13 with runners in scoring position.
“A lot of good things happened out there,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “We’re starting to swing the bats off a really good starting pitcher. We were able to hit him hard. That’s a guy who’s in the middle of a really good season. That was good to see.”
Miami’s Luis Arraez went 0 for 4, dropping his major league leading batting average to .366. Arraez is 1 for 12 since getting dropped from leadoff to second in the lineup.
Luzardo allowed seven runs and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. He is 0-2 with a 6.66 ERA in five starts since July 9.
“Probably not the best mechanics. Really out of whack,” Luzardo said. “Not being able to come through for the team, I feel like that’s the most frustrating part, but we’re working in between bullpens trying to figure it out, trying to get that feel back.”
Miami closed to 3-2 in the second off Ian Hamilton when Jesús Sánchez hit an RBI triple and scored on Jake Burger’s double.
Oswaldo Cabrera and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa hit consecutive RBI singles in the fourth for a 6-2 lead.
Burger’s RBI double in the fourth and Josh Bell’s solo shot in the sixth pulled the Marlins to 7-4. Bell has three homers in his last two games.
Arraez oiginally was credited with an infield single in the eighth but the Yankees succeeded on a video review to overturn the call by first base umpire Angel Hernández on the throw from Kiner-Falefa at shortstop to first baseman Jake Bauers. Hernández was reversed on three of four replays at first base during a 2018 playoff game between the Yankees and Red Sox.
Former Marlins pitcher and 2003 World Series MVP Josh Beckett threw the ceremonial first pitch to ex-teammate Ivan Rodriguez. Beckett threw a complete game shutout against the Yankees in Game 6 to finish the Marlins’ second World Series title.
Cortes, who was scheduled to start Saturday, was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Tuesday. In addition to Vásquez, RHP Jhony Brito was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
Yankees: 1B Anthony Rizzo (concussion) said before the game he continues to progress and hopes to increase his activities next week.
Marlins: LHP Steven Okert absorbed a 113 mph comebacker from Giancarlo Stanton above his left ankle in the ninth but finished the inning. . RHP Tommy Nance (right shoulder strain) is scheduled to have consecutive rehab outings with Double-A Pensacola Saturday and Sunday.
RHP Sandy Alcantara (4-10, 4.28) starts for the Marlins on Saturday. Brito (4-5, 5.02) will either start for the Yankees or enter in as a bulk reliever.

But only from 2025
Alfa Romeo is gearing up to go all-electric in the next few years. Among other things, the company intends to start conquering the North American market, where Tesla dominates the electric car market.
The fastest growing premium car in the US, the Tesla, kicks everyone’s ass. We consider ourselves different from others. We just don’t want to blend in with the rest. We are not BMW… Our customers tell us they buy Alfa because “it’s not like that”
The US Alfa Romeo market will begin to conquer in 2025, when an electric car created specifically for North America will appear in the company’s lineup. And in 2027, a large electric crossover will be released, which are so valued in the stipulated market.
“Tesla kicks everyone’s ass.”
Of course, there are no details about the cars yet, but Alfa Romeo is part of the Stellantis concern, so it is likely that the novelties of the Italian brand will be relatives of many other concern cars.
Of the large crossover, Alfa Rome says features such as interior size, performance, cup holders, technology and more will be ideal for North American consumers. The US will account for 70% of this new crossover’s sales.
The US market for Alfa Romeo will not be something new, but, for example, last year the company sold less than 13,000 cars there.

Sumptuous. Sizzling. Symphony!
Known for dizzying world music
jams, polyrhythms and revved up riffs, Sultans of
String can't be pinned down - it's Sable Island
meets the Silk Road, with detours through the Gypsy-Jazz
coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, next an East Coast Kitchen
Party, then over to the majestic Arctic and the vibrant
streets of Havana.
Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenca guitar while funky bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Throughout, acoustic mastery meets with a symphony of sound, deepened by world rhythms that inspire whole audiences to get up and dance.
Kicking things off as a dynamic
duo playing tiny cafes in 2007, this fiercely talented and
hardworking indie act has been on a meteoric rise, with
an astonishing number of awards and accolades in tow. Invitations
to play such world stages as Koerner, and with such legendary
artists as The Chieftains who not only invited them to guest
during their Spring tour in Connecticut, but whose very
own Paddy Moloney appears on 'Symphony!' The disc is distributed
by SONY/RED though Red River Entertainment.
Bob Frank, chairman of Red River (former President
of Koch/EI Entertainment) states, 'We welcome the opportunity
to work with one of Canada's most innovative groups and
look forward to expanding their music and footprint in the
Sultans of String are also represented
in the U.S. by acclaimed manager/promoter David Wilkes (Koch
Records, Emmylou Harris, Bela Fleck). 'I have worked with
numerous top ten chart songs and #1 Pop Billboard and Country
music hits,' Wilkes says. 'In all that time, I have not
worked with composers more talented than Chris McKhool and
Kevin Laliberte from Sultans of String. Not only are they
a superb writing team, they are also amazing arrangers and
musicians. This new CD 'Symphony!' is a gigantic leap forward.'
Sultans of String's symphony Pops show was developed
under the direction of luminary John Morris Russell, (Conductor-Cincinnati
Pops Orchestra), and was scored by illustrious arranger/composer
Rebecca Pellett (Toronto Symphony Orchestra, IMAX & Hollywood
film productions). They recently performed a triumphant
8 show run with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy Thompson
Hall for their Education Series, and have booked release
concerts with symphonies well into 2015.
The band is led by JUNO-nominated 6-string violinist Chris McKhool (Jesse Cook, Pavlo) who grew up in a Lebanese-Egyptian (Makhoul) house bursting
with music and diversity. Growing up, Chris was fed a steady diet of delicious musicality alongside Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons.
When McKhool first heard founding
guitarist Kevin Laliberte's rumba rhythm, their musical
synergy created Sultans of String's signature sound - the
intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar.
From this rich foundation, the dynamic duo has grown, featuring
such amazing musical friends as 2nd guitarist Eddie Paton
(Robert Michaels), bass master Drew Birston (Chantal Kreviazuk,
Amanda Martinez), and Cuban percussionist Chendy Leon (Parachute
Club, Alex Cuba), as well as special guests such as Palestinian
oud master Bassam Bishara, Dala, The Chieftain's Paddy Moloney,
ukulele giant James Hill, famed producer Ken Whiteley, and
thought 'why stop there?' With 'Symphony!' Sultans of String
have brought the glorious and majestic sound of a full orchestra
to their feisty world-jazz compositions, to create the ultimate
crossover concert and recording. Due to astronomical costs,
orchestral CDs are rarely recorded on Canadian soil, but
in such faraway places as Russia or Prague. 'But our Canadian
musicians are the best on the planet' McKhool asserts, 'so
we put together an all-star orchestra comprised of our favourite
players from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera
Company, Canadian Ballet Orchestra, all with no label support.
We are super proud of what we achieved.'
'Sultans of String were a huge
success! The Sultansí sound is fresh, exotic and entrancing,
and the orchestral arrangements are absolutely first class.
They also had a great time with the audience who were mesmerized
and ecstatic throughout the show. The Sultans are virtuosic
soloists and as an ensemble are one of the tightest groups
I've ever worked with!' - Maestro John Morris Russell,
Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
'I had the pleasure of hearing
the Sultans of Strings perform with the Toronto Symphony.
It was terrific, and included everything I look for... the
Orchestra had many opportunities to shine, the Sultans provided
engaging/entertaining world music elements... I look forward
to presenting Sultans with the Minnesota Orchestra!' -
Jim Bartsch, Minnesota Orchestra
'Sultans of String are one of
Canada's hottest new musical exports, dynamically embodying
their homeland's values of tolerance and respect for diverse
cultures. They weave a gorgeously-hued tapestry of Folk,
Spanish, Arabic, Latin, French and gypsy strands.' -
Celtic Connections Festival
'Sultans of String seem to be
hoovering up Canadian awards and nominations like a Dyson
on speed -- a joyful melting pot of jazz, flamenco, folk,
and indeed anything else that takes their fancy.. this is
the sort of band and music that would rip up any festival
in the country.' - Maverick Magazine
'I was impressed by the virtuoso
musicianship displayed by all of the members of this group.
The orchestrations were sumptuous, providing a lush background
to the captivating performance of Chris and his colleagues.
The audience was brought to its feet at the end of the show,
demonstrating that they really enjoyed a truly Canadian
musical experience!' - Maestro Norman Reintamm,
'The show at Skye was just wonderful
- a friend (who has lived hither and yon and seen lots of
great music in his life) said it was the best concert he'd
ever seen in his life. Wow!' - Deborah Sutton Robie,
Kingfield POPS!, Maine
'I had so much fun working with
Sultans of String. They bring their great talents, fantastic
orchestral arrangements and an abundance of energy on stage.
There is something for everybody here!' - Shalom
Bard, RBC Resident Conductor, Toronto Symphony Orchestra
'Sultans of String have created
an exciting sound world that is completely their own. They
have mastered the perfect balance of spontaneity and virtuosity
that makes for an energetic, tight and entertaining show!'
- Olga Mychajluk, Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony
'Sultans of String have created
a nonstop whirlwind of exotic musical energy, stirring up
dizzying world music jams driven by polyrhythms and revved
up riffs , driven by McKhool's explosive violin dances and
Laliberte's kinetic yet graceful guitar' - Jazz
'The affection for this group
was palpable as the band alternated between sincere tributes
to whales, Sable Island horses and Mayan ruins, meditative
rumba Flamenco, fiery solos, precise and melodic phrases.'

As the state rolls out a new school accountability system and a separate federal accountability system, disputes have flared between the state department and school board over which underperforming schools should get extra federal money.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who won his primary in a landslide, pledged to make sure districts are efficiently and effectively spending the money the state gives them.
The state has fought with the federal government and civil rights activists over how it holds schools accountable for some groups of students. Florida is the only state still without a federally approved plan.
Republican Diane Douglas originally ran on a platform of getting rid of the state's common core standards, but ended up in a legally fraught relationship with the state's board of education.
The ruling last week blocking a ballot measure that would have pumped $690 million more into schools has lit a match under an already combustible midterm election.
Tony Thurmond and Marshall Tuck differed sharply on issues such as how to improve teacher quality and how to get more money for California's schools.
Republican and Democratic candidates for governor in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and elsewhere are clashing over how (or whether) to shore up school districts' budgets.
John Ekblad, a high school teacher in Minnesota, had sued his school district and later claimed that discipline guidance under President Barack Obama left teachers vulnerable to unsafe conditions.
Democrats for Education Reform, which advocates for school choice and stringent school accountability policies, has had a difficult time pushing its agenda with traditional Democratic forces.
The state's 33-year-old funding formula hasn't kept pace with dramatic population shifts, leaving some school districts with money to spare and others falling short.

Israel has recorded what is widely believed to be the first case of “flurona” disease, a double infection of coronavirus and seasonal flu in an unvaccinated pregnant woman, according to local reports.
The unnamed woman displayed mild symptoms of the virus at Rabin Medical Center in the city of Petah Tikva on Dec. 30, Hamodia reported. She is doing well and was expected to be discharged from the hospital later on Thursday, according to officials.
“She was diagnosed with the flu and coronavirus as soon as she arrived. Both tests came back positive, even after we checked again,” said professor Arnon Vizhnitser, an obstetrics and gynecology specialist and the director of the hospital’s Gynecology Department. “The disease is the same disease; they’re viral and cause difficulty breathing since both attack the upper respiratory tract.”
Vizhnitser said he is seeing more and more cases of individuals who have contracted both coronavirus and seasonal flu at the same time. Both contagious respiratory illnesses can present similar symptoms such as a cough, sore throat, fever, muscle or body aches, and fatigue.
“Last year, we did not witness flu cases among pregnant or birthing women,” Vizhnitser said. “Today, we are seeing cases of both coronavirus and the flu that are starting to rear their head.” (Read more from “‘Flurona’: Country Records 1st Case of Patient With Both COVID-19 and Flu” HERE)

Six Canadian cities — Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina and Toronto — hosted the 34th World Partnership Walk (WPW) on Father’s Day, Sunday June 17, 2018, to raise funds to end global poverty. The Walk in Toronto was a truly remarkable day for thousands with the surprise appearance of His Highness the Aga Khan’s youngest son, Prince Aly Muhammad.
An initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC), the WPW was held earlier on May 27 and June 3 in Victoria and Ottawa respectively. Similar walks will be held on Sunday June 24 in Kitchener and London. The Partnership Walk’s history dates back to 1985 when a group of women in Vancouver came together to raise funds to support the work of AKFC. All had come from Africa or Asia and wanted to give back to the communities they left behind. They persuaded 1,000 other Canadians to join them in a walk to fight global poverty and raised $55,000. That first walk grew into an annual event, held in 10 cities across Canada with the support of tens of thousands of volunteers, corporate sponsors and participants. Thirty-three years later, the World Partnership Walk has raised more than $100 million — making it the largest event in Canada in support of international development.
We are pleased to provide tweets by many excited individuals who were present at the walk in Toronto. We welcome readers to submit photos and videos that they took during the walk, and to also share with us stories of their encounters with Prince Aly during the walk.

Public Defender’s Official Meetings in Council of Europe
Georgian Public Defender Levan Ioseliani is paying an official visit to the city of Strasbourg, France, where he is holding meetings in the Council of Europe on May 22-24.

Wild Leaves, Nathan Reich
93 N. 6th St.
Brooklyn, NY, 11211
This event is 21 and over
Air Review started writing songs in 2008 out of the converted garage of an unassuming
suburban house outside of Dallas, Texas. Meeting once a week for nearly a year in a room
without air conditioning or heating, the quintet carefully crafted a record that they later selfreleased
reviews, the band still felt like something was missing. The group hibernated for another 12
months and re-invented themselves.
The first offering from their newly defined sound, America's Son, became one of the most
requested songs on north Texas' 91.7 KXT who later included it in their "Best Songs of
2011" right next to Adele, Foster the People and Coldplay. America's Son also caught the
attention of The Huffington Post and CMJ who claimed it was "a very different sound from
other folk-pop groups and considered the band one to watch in 2012".
Air Review's dynamic live shows have landed them support slots for acts such as Flaming
Lips, Portugal. The Man, Grimes and School of Seven Bells. Their knack for engaging
melodies has turned heads around the world securing licensing with the International
Olympic Committee and Levi's.
All of this paved the way for their upcoming masterfully composed full-length album, Low
Wishes, to be released by Velvet Blue Music (Huntington Beach, CA) and Spune (DFW,
Texas) January 29th, 2013. This self-produced and recorded, pop infused indie record
gracefully combines folk influences with synthesizers, beats and noisy guitars. It is soft and
subtle at times, yet unmistakably anthemic, complete with magnificent choruses.
Low Wishes is a nostalgic look at growing into adulthood and an affirmation of the belief
that there is something more to life. Without hesitation, Air Review is clearly poised to stand
out in a big way in 2013, simply by staying the course it has already set.
Wild Leaves are a combination of psychedelic rhythm, sound and color. Five self-contained musical units converging to form a hypnotic river of sound. Channeling as much electricity through their amplifiers as any audience can bear.
Conveyors of energy, their powers lie in the alchemy of the group. Tough, tight and together. They restore an entrancing authenticity to modern music. Their sensibilities are fierce. The material manages to be both melodic and complex as spectral harmonies soar around lyrics steeped in mysticism.
Wild Leaves are known for their ability to transform rock into something more than words and music--something magic. Of course, that all depends on your willingness to be spellbound.
"In addition to being a technically brilliant guitarist, Nathan's lyrics put you in a specific place and mindset — it usually has a something to do with hearbreak, late nights, and waking up the next day in some new city."
The Steam Engine
"This album, as much as any I've heard in a long time, is completely transformative. You know what he's singing, you know the subject matter. You've been there and somehow, he, as a songwriter, manages to capture that idea, that feeling in your stomach, of uncertainty or loss."
"His songs- stories of lovers, yearning, and learning are sweet and immediate like any true master of words. And he picked at the guitar so seamlessly it felt fake. His music achieves in the way Nick Drake's songs cut so soberly straight and in the way Leonard Cohen's tunes feel so drunkenly honest: they are brilliant in their simplicity."
"The initial undeniable impression: this is some serious songwriting. While some tunes are sung over solo acoustic guitar, others feature Alexandra Spalding's graceful cello and vocal harmonies, and a handful have rolling tom drums, electric guitar murmurs, and textures you can't quite place your finger on...the lyricism follows suit: literary but straightforward, playful but honest. Themes of alcoholism, loneliness, and the daunting ambition of exploring the world, without and within, pump the majority of the blood through Arms Around a Ghost."
"Pastoral indie-folk with subdued vocals and glittering acoustic guitar."

Former Manchester United attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard has completed a move to Nottingham Forest on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old, who has 32 England caps, becomes Forest’s 11th summer signing after they won promotion to the Premier League.
Lingard came through the United youth academy and enjoyed loan spells at Leicester and Birmingham before he made his senior debut for the Red Devils in August 2014.
He went on to make over 230 appearances for the club overall, including 22 matches throughout the 2021-22 campaign.
His contract expired at the end of the season and West Ham and Forest emerged as candidates to snap him up.
The club confirmed the arrival of the attacking midfielder on their official website, saying: “Nottingham Forest are delighted to confirm the signing of Jesse Lingard.”
Lingard announced his move with a video shared on the social media site, writing in the caption: “Ready for my new chapter. Let’s gooo babyyyyyy”.
Forest have not disclosed the length of Lingard’s contract.
He had also been linked with a return to West Ham where he had a spell on loan during the 2020-21 season, scoring nine goals in 16 Premier League starts.
Lingard, who has also held talks with Everton, made 22 appearances for Manchester United last season, but only four of those were starts.
He joins former Manchester United team-mate Dean Henderson at the City Ground, where he will wear the number 10 shirt.


The promise of a game-changing rear-drive car in the pipeline . And now the hope, collaboration and investments between two manufacturers have finally come to glorious fruition here in 2012. But with the mountain of anticipation the Subaru BRZ/ twins have built, would it even be possible for the finished car to meet the inflated, and potentially unreasonable, expectations of the buyer? Would it have the performance? Could it be priced competitively? Would it end up looking like the Autech Stelvio? So many opportunities to drop the ball on the way to the end zone. After pitting the BRZ against what we feel to be its stiffest opposition, we can now confidently affirm that "the game" has been changed.

As a tutor it’s so rewarding when one of your students achieves success, and it has just been revealed that the multi talented Joanne Clifton is to join the presenting team of BBC’s It Takes Two. Joanne, World Champion Ballroom dancer and pro-dancer on Strictly Come Dancing will be a regular dance expert on the Strictly chat show this Autumn, as well as performing in the Strictly series.
When Joanne attended my course Get into TV Presenting at The Actors Centre last summer she was clearly a bundle of talent. She was training in acting, singing and presenting after achieving World class in dancing, aiming to launch herself in a new direction. Appearing on Strictly last year, along with her brother, ‘Kevin from Grimsby’, it was quickly apparent that Joanne could present as well as dance – she was discovered!
TV Presenting is an extension of your own personality, it shouldn’t be fake or an acting performance. You need to confidently talk to the camera, to engage with the viewer. The skills can be taught quickly, and then it’s practise. Joanne’s dance background meant she could connect with the audience, and she combined this with her cheeky personality and sense of humour.
The 2-day course taught Joanne the basic presenting skills of talking to camera, speaking to time, interviewing, being interviewed, walking and talking, vox pops and reading Autocue. Almost immediately Joanne found herself being interviewed for Channel 4, and she performed brilliantly.
Feeling that TV presenting could be her new career Joanne followed up her initial training with personal coaching with me, and is now confident enough to hold her own on mainstream BBC. It all started with a weekend course. Who knows where it will end?
There’s plenty more info on my website and in my books, The TV Presenter’s Career Handbook published by Focal Press, and So You Want to be a TV Presenter? published by Nick Hern Books.

The book is structured from the universal to the specific, beginning with the definition and history of klezmer music in Eastern Europe to the twentieth-century history of the klezmorim
(musicians) in Philadelphia.
Artists like Giora Feidman, The Klezmorim
, and Kapelye, and more recent bands such as the Klezmer Conservatory Band, The Klezmatics, and Brave Old World have sparked renewed inquiry into questions of Jewish/Yiddish identity in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Klezmers or klezmorim
were men who traveled to perform, mostly at Jewish weddings.
On their pioneering 1981 album Metropolis, the Klezmorim
never mentioned Jews or being Jewish.
Now it's taught in universities: The first klezmer revival band, the Klezmorim
[from Berkeley], started at exactly the same time we did.
On Saturday, the legendary Nat Hentoff raved over a 3-CD set of classic Yiddish tracks called Cantors, Klezmorim
and Crooners 1905-1953 in the Wall Street Journal.
Part 1 uses five traditions to "represent the deep historic structure of American sacred song" (10): Native American in a powwow in Denver; the Hispanic Southwest via the Virgin of Guadalupe and Holy Week at Chimayo, New Mexico; Sacred Harp singing at an annual sing at Little Vine Primitive Baptist Church in Creeltown, Alabama, and through a survey of Sacred Harp groups in the north; the Black Church by way of the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, part of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World; and Jewish music under two headings, Klezmorim
in the world premiere of Schlemiel the First in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and medieval Sephardim by way of Judith Wachs and her group, Voice of the Turtle.
The second and most extensive chapter extends the chronology until the Holocaust, weaving klezmorim
and other Jewish musicians into the broader history of Ashkenazic Jews in Europe.
It is for this period that one can document semi-professional and amateur musicians who would later be called klezmorim
, or folk musicians.
IN JOSEPH GREEN'S POPULAR 1936 YIDDISH FILM, YIDL Mitn Fidi (Yidl With His Fiddle), we meet a group of itinerant Polish-Jewish klezmorim
(1) straight out of a Sholem Aleykhem story.

Continued support for nuclear team vital, daily
Tehran: The English-language newspaper Iran Daily commented on the ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the six world powers in its opinion column which was written by Ali Qanbari on Sunday.
It said â€œIran received 13 metric tons of its gold which was blocked in South Africa under US-led sanctions thanks to the nuclear negotiating teamâ€™s follow-up in the ongoing nuclear talks in Vienna. The positive progress in the negotiations has been highly effective in achieving this.
Prices in the domestic market have witnessed a slow but continuous decline as a positive reaction to the return of the assets.
Another positive outcome of the accomplishment is the change in the peopleâ€™s views on the future of the talks. Prior to this, a group of Iranians strongly held that the removal of the Western sanctions would not be conducive to reduced inflation and economic growth. They spread despair among others. The unfreezing of Iranian assets, has slightly restored public hope.
Iranian economy has faced many challenges since the national assets were held up in foreign banks coupled with the breakdown in domestic financial organizationsâ€™ communications with SWIFT.
These favorable outcomes have triggered an optimistic atmosphere even among those opposing the resumption of talks with the sextet.
The favorable progress of the negotiations has also helped further demonstrate Iranâ€™s power to the world.
Substantial gold reserves greatly shore up the national currency which consequently improves the countryâ€™s international status.
Earlier, due to Iranâ€™s weakened international position, the negotiating team did not enjoy favorable bargaining power. The 11th government strained every nerve and sinew to restore Iranâ€™s lost global standing and proved successful in this respect.
Following the tightening of Western sanctions, the rial weakened against other foreign currencies. Currently, time is ripe for the national currency to regain strength.
A total of 21 tons of Iranian gold assets has been released in the past few months which can come in handy for the government to implement some of its economic plans.
Bolstered gold reserves will lead to enhanced economic stability and greatly reduce price fluctuations. The 10th government suffered a great deal of economic mishaps due to the diminished gold reserves which had left the domestic economy extremely vulnerable even to the slightest foreign and domestic tensions.
The achievements of the nuclear negotiating team have rebuild trust in the domestic marketâ€™s bright and promising future.
As stipulated in the Vision 2025, Iran is required to become the Middle Eastâ€™s main economic power within the scheduled period. Sanctions are the chief obstacle to meeting the target. Once they are completely removed, Iran can work towards the goal more effectively through efficient planning and adhering to the guidelines of â€˜Resilient Economyâ€™ set by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. All Iranians of various mindsets are required to support the government through the rest of the negotiations in a year designated as â€˜Government and Nation; Solidarity and Harmonyâ€™.â€

The Canadian government responds to our petition to curb the wildlife trade
Canada knows enough to take action
World Animal Protection is disappointed in the Canadian government’s response to our House of Commons petition, which called upon the Prime Minister to support and encourage the closure of wildlife markets globally that could become sources for future pandemics and to commit to end the international and domestic trade in wild animals and their products that could aid in the spread of zoonotic diseases.
Our petition and supporting arguments were very clear. Yet, Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Jonathan Wilkinson, signed off on a response which essentially ignored the strong Canadian support and scientific evidence for government action.
Animal welfare is a critical part of the solution
While we welcome the government’s acknowledgement of the critical importance of multi-sectoral, collaborative approaches across human, animal, and environmental health – animal welfare is a missing yet critical part of the solution.
Canada plays a significant role in the supply and demand that facilities the global commercial trade in wild animals and derivatives that could carry zoonotic disease risks and threaten biodiversity. The science is clear, the commercial trade in wild animals drives pandemic risk and Canadians want their government to take action to end this. How long will our government continue to ignore scientific and public opinion?

Orthorexia: When Eating Healthy Food Becomes an Unhealthy Obsession
We all know someone like this or maybe you are this someone: Every time you’re around them, they just can’t stop talking about the raw, vegan, cacao super-fruit cookies they made and how they can feel the plant energy healing them every time they bite into one. Or maybe they’re paleo and they refuse to even touch anything that isn’t free-range, organic, and GMO free. Oh, and heaven forbid they eat a single speck of rice! You invite them out to dinner pretty regularly but they’ve never said yes, citing that, “I can’t risk exposing myself to all the toxins in that food! You know how sensitive I am!” It’s a real drag right? But, does their obsession with their diet indicate they have a problem?
Don’t get me wrong, I am a pretty darn healthy eater. I encourage people to take an active role in choosing healthy foods. It’s important to our fitness goals, as well as our vitality, happiness, and longevity. But there is a fine line between eating in a healthy way and what is now known as orthorexia.
Orthorexia, while not officially recognized by the DSM-IV as an eating disorder, is basically an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy food. The phrase orthorexia was coined by Dr. Steven Bratman in a Yoga Journal article back in 1997. Dr. Bratman worked as a chef and an organic farmer in a commune that attracted vegetarians, raw vegans, those who eat macrobiotic diets, and other specialized diets before he became a doctor. Based on what he observed there, his own issues with orthorexia, and his experience with his patients, he came to some conclusions. While eating healthy should certainly be encouraged, an unhealthy preoccupation can be socially and mentally debilitating and physically damaging, even deadly in some cases.
What exactly separates an orthorexic from your everyday paleo enthusiast or strict vegan? Dr. Bratman stated that when the obsession with food impairs other parts of the person’s life then it becomes pathologic. When the majority of a person’s time is spent planning, cooking, and thinking about food, when social engagements are avoided at all costs, when anxiety, fear, and guilt become the driving force to adhere to the “ideal diet,” whatever that may be, there is a problem. Dr. Bratman explained that orthorexia is much like bulimia or anorexia, but that instead of an obsession with thinness and quantity of food consumed, the obsession is with the quality of food. Bratman himself admitted he found himself so preoccupied with food and “righteous eating” that he had lost the “poetry” of his life. He said he was lonely and could not enjoy any of the social aspects of eating anymore.
Karin Kratina , PhD, RD, LD/Ns, also did a great job of describing orthorexia. She said:
“Orthorexia starts out as an innocent attempt to eat more healthfully, but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity. They become consumed with what and how much to eat, and how to deal with ‘slip-ups.’ An iron-clad will is needed to maintain this rigid eating style. Every day is a chance to eat right, be ‘good,’ rise above others in dietary prowess, and self-punish if temptation wins (usually through stricter eating, fasts, and exercise). Self-esteem becomes wrapped up in the purity of orthorexics’ diet and they sometimes feel superior to others, especially in regard to food intake… Eventually, the obsession with healthy eating can crowd out other activities and interests, impair relationships, and become physically dangerous.”
And yes, there have been cases of death associated with orthorexia. Of course, eating junk food has a much higher death toll, I will not argue with anyone on that point. Far more of us are in danger of being overweight and unhealthy due to the massive amounts of processed, chemically-laden, trans-fat-containing food we have available to us. However, for the people who are affected by othorexia or who have loved ones who are, this is a significant issue. Most often death occurs as a result of starvation, or anorexic orthorexia. A person, so afraid of eating unhealthy or un-pure foods, loses weight and slowly starves to death. It’s important to note the obsession is not on being thin or losing weight. It is on the purity or righteousness of the food. It’s a scary thought and one we should be aware of when evaluating others or ourselves for orthorexia.
And how can we tell if we or someone else is orthorexic? Dr. Bratman developed a quiz that can help identify if someone may indeed have an obsession with healthy eating. I’m giving you the abbreviated version. The full version can be found in Dr. Bratman’s book, Health Food Junkies. If you answer “yes” to two or more questions you may have a bit of an issue. Over four “yes” answers means you probably are obsessing over your healthy diet too much. If you answer “yes” to all of the questions, you have an issue that is impacting your life in a negative way.
The Orthorexia Quiz
- Do you spend more than three hours each day thinking about food? (For four hours give yourself two points.) The time measurement includes cooking, shopping, reading about your diet, discussing (or evangelizing) it with friends, and joining Internet chat groups on the subject.
- Do you plan tomorrow's food today?
- Do you care more about the virtue of what you eat than the pleasure you receive from eating it?
- Have you found that as the quality of your diet has increased, the quality of your life has correspondingly diminished?
- Do you sacrifice experiences you once enjoyed to eat the food you believe is right?
- Do you feel an increased sense of self-esteem when you are eating healthy food? Do you look down on others who don't?
- Do you feel guilt or self-loathing when you stray from your diet?
- Does your diet socially isolate you?
- When eating the way you are supposed to, do you feel a peaceful sense of total control?
Now, to wrap this up, I’m going to speak in my un-politically correct voice. If you answered yes to more than four of these, please, get some help or at least reevaluate how you think and approach your diet. Life is not meant to be lived like that. Enjoy your life, eat well, but live. Don’t forget our life is about collecting memories and experiences. If we aren’t out their soaking up the joy found in friendships, travel, and yes, eating, then what is all that healthy eating really doing for us?

With most of the contenders at the top of the Premier Division in midweek action the big game was at Desborough Town where the visitors were second-placed Newport Pagnell Town. It was the visitors who took the points after a close-fought match in horrible conditions with the only goal of the game coming in the first minute from Harry Stratton.
Leaders Leicester Nirvana surprisingly went down 3-1 at Harborough Town. A 25th minute goal from early substitute Dan Forbes put Harborough ahead but a stoppage time equaliser from the head of Mahmoud Juma ensured that the first half ended all square. Barnes Gladman restored Harborough’s lead after 57 minutes before Greg Usher completed the scoring seven minutes from time moments after Nirvana squandered a glorious chance to make it 2-2. It is now three league games without a win for Nirvana, who have been knocked off top spot by Newport Pagnell.
Holbeach United continued their recent good form with a 2-0 win over Eynesbury Rovers with Will Bird scoring twice in the final twenty minutes. Deeping Rangers and Wisbech Town notched victories against teams in the lower reaches of the division. Deeping beat Boston Town 3-0 with Scott Coupland scoring his 100th goal for the club while Wisbech, with Paul Bastock making his record-equalling 1,249th appearance, overcame Sleaford Town 2-1 thanks to a late winner from Aaron Hart.
In the bottom of the table clash at Canal Street visitors Northampton ON Chenecks continued their recent upsurge with a come from behind 2-1 win over St Andrews. Danny Quigley was their hero with a last-minute winner.
In the only Division One game of the week Harrowby United defeated third-placed Blackstones 3-1 thanks to a Sam Grouse hat trick.
Four UCL teams were in County Cup Quarter Final action. In the Huntingdonshire Senior Cup Huntingdon Town put up a brave performance at St Ives Town, from three divisions higher, before going down 4-2. Huntingdon took the lead after an hour through Corey Kingston. St Ives equalised from the penalty spot after 72 minutes before three goals in the final 12 minutes saw them through. There was still time for a fine goal from substitute Ben Page in stoppage time as Huntingdon never gave up. In the Northamptonshire Hillier Cup there were defeats for Cogenhoe United, Peterborough Northern Star and Wellingborough Town.

I am a second year PhD student with research interests in online political communication as well as media literacy. My current research projects deal with online political participation during Presidential elections. I am also interested in political assimilation and acculturation among newly settled immigrants and their usage of Internet during the process.
I am a second year PhD student with interests in political communication, media effects, and social/protest movements. Currently, I have been working on projects concerning the relationship between media use and political efficacy, and the effect of community structure on portrayals of Occupy Wall Street & the Tea Party’s legitimacy. In addition, I’m also interested in the question of whether the general public makes meaningful distinctions between media portrayals of protest movements as being Astroturf (a fake grassroots movement) versus those same movements being organized by Public Advocacy Consultants, which are something of a gray area between grassroots movements and Astroturf.
I’m a first year master’s student in the Murrow College with research interests in media framing and news narrative analysis, communication ethics and journalism in the contemporary media landscape. My most recent work includes a comparative framing analysis of mainstream and citizen journalism coverage of the self-immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi, which sparked the Tunisian Revolution and the greater Arab Spring. This co-authored paper was presented at the Media and the Arab Spring conference at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco, and is being prepared for submission to a special edition of the Global Media Journal.
I’m a first year PhD student in the Murrow College. My research interests focus on online media and computer mediated communication as it applies to political discourse. A few previous research projects include perception of time and motivation while task-switching. I am currently working on civility research in online political discussions and perception of bias in online news. I find the diversity of online settings, in both function and design, supremely interesting and hope to promote deliberative dialogue through my research. My thesis and dissertation both address this goal while my side projects address other online discussion topics.

These cookies taste just like Persian Love cake. They are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
Cookie– ½ cup butter 113g– ⅔ cup light brown sugar 140g– ½ tsp ground cardamom more if you like a stronger taste– 1 tsp pure vanilla extract– ½ tsp fine sea salt– Zest of 1 lemon– 1 large egg– ½ tsp baking soda– 1 cup almond flour 125g– 130 g all purpose flour 1 cup , dividedGlaze– 1 cup powdered sugar 125g– 1 tsp rose water– 1 tsp vanilla– Juice of a lemon– Ground pistachio– Dried rose petal
Melt the butter in a bowl that can go in the microwave. Mix in the salt, cardamom, vanilla, and lemon zest.
STEP 1 .
Whisk for about two minutes, until everything is well mixed. Add the egg and mix it in.
Mix in the baking soda, almond flour, and half of the all-purpose flour with a whisk in a bowl. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
After that, add the other half of the flour. Warm the oven up to 350 F. Using a 2-teaspoon scoop,
put the cookies on an aluminum baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set the oven to 10 minutes.
When they come out, they'll look puffed up. As they cool, they'll fall a little and get crinkly. As soon as they are cool, make the glaze:
It's up to you whether you want the glaze to be thick or thin; add more or less lemon juice and whisk until the right consistency is reached.
Pour it over the cookies and then add the dried rose petals and pistachio chunks right away. Without air, cookies will last for three to four days in a container.

Shelbourne Grows Revenue
The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin grew its revenue by more than a third in the first six months of 2023 on the back of increased travel to the city and higher room rates.
US investment fund Kennedy Wilson spent $152 million (€138 million) in early 2014 to take control of the Shelbourne by acquiring debts tied to the hotel from Irish Bank Resolution Corp, formerly Anglo Irish Bank.
Details of the hotel’s performance this year are contained within Kennedy Wilson’s quarterly results for three months ended June 30th, which were published by the company on Friday.
The filing shows the Shelbourne, which has 265 hotel rooms, generated an income of $26.1 million in the first six months of the year, compared with $19.2 million for the same period in 2022.

Issues With Water
This week’s blog was written by Laura M., a Bass alumni. She shares the startling facts that she learned from a presentation about drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater.
Recently I asked my mom to come and give a presentation for my Environmental Science class. We were studying sustainability and water treatment which is her profession. She came and gave a presentation on drinking water, wastewater and stormwater. She started her presentation with some startling facts.
- Earth contains about 366,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water
- Only 0.007% is potable.
- 1.2 billion people have no access to clean water.
- In developing countries, as much as 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions.
- Over half of the developing world’s primary schools don’t have access to water and sanitation facilities. Without toilets, girls often drop out at puberty.
- 443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related diseases.
- Worldwide, diarrhea kills 4,000 children every day.
- More than 80% of sewage in developing countries is discharged untreated, polluting rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
- Every $1 spent on water and sanitation generates $8 as a result of saved time, increased productivity, and reduced health care costs.
She quickly made her point. In the United States, we have water treatment. She said that my grandfather can remember watching trash and sewage float in the river. In the 1940s, the United States was not doing what they needed to do regarding water treatment. By 1970, about two-thirds of our waterways were not safe for intended purposes. She is correct, we can be proud that 50 years after the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency, now only about a third of our waterways remain impaired. Because of strict regulations and some very hard work, Americans can enjoy all of the recreational activities our waterways provide. Children in the United States know nothing regarding water-related diseases. They do not watch their friends die of diarrhea. Her facts were startling. I was raised enjoying our waterways; I have jumped rocks, swam, canoed, and fished all over Pennsylvania. I cannot imagine anything other than the fun our waterways bring. Yet, for millions of children around the world, this is not the case. Children around the world go to school without a water fountain that provides a safe water supply. Many do not have a toilet to use. I cannot imagine missing school because of a waterborne disease.
Our waterways, drinking water supplies, public health, recreation and wildlife have benefited greatly from the Environmental Protection Agency. So much so that Americans do not recognize the importance of wastewater treatment and stormwater management. They cannot understand that a child’s educational opportunities could be compromised because of access to a toilet. Americas take our water management programs for granted. However, new challenges to our water industry are emerging and the public’s health is at risk. Americans must be vigilant and cannot become complacent. Water may be an abundant natural resource, however we must work to maintain a safe supply.

We work closely with you to provide a comprehensive approach to Wealth Management, understanding what it is you want your money to achieve.
The Wealth Management Journey
Always keeping your goals at the forefront, we believe in investing to achieve a good return over the long term and we know this is an exercise that requires patience and a certain tolerance. We realise this is money that has often been hard earned and needs to be managed in a way that carefully balances the risks alongside the potential for good returns. We use a logically based investment approach which is thoroughly researched.
Looking to build long term, trusting and collaborative relationships, we take the time to explain to you our recommendations without jargon and help you make smart decisions about your wealth.
We have investment principles which we base our investment recommendations upon.
- Investing is a means to an end – Our wealth management advice is always aligned to your individual financial planning requirements and long-term goals. That’s why we start by understanding what is truly important to you.
- Maintain investment discipline – Our approach ensures that we provide you with the investment discipline required to realise your investment goals – this is not a short term game.
- Diversify and keep costs low – We believe in investing in a diversified array of asset classes. Typically we may use a range of low cost institutional funds, keeping the costs low with a view to maximising your returns.
- Don’t try to predict the future – We believe successful investing does not require the ability to predict the future.
- Risk & return are inseparable – Stocks and bonds that offer higher than average returns relative to the market almost always carry higher risk. Understanding this relationship enables investors to strike a balance between performance goals and the degree of uncertainty they can accept.
The first priority when considering investment is to ensure that you maintain sufficient accessible funds for any shorter term requirements.
We will ascertain your risk tolerance and capacity for loss using market leading tools and then discuss the most suitable portfolio for you. See ‘How we work with you’ for a full breakdown of our wealth management/investment process.
Using our cash flow planning process we can examine how your investments will meet your long term needs and may be able to identify opportunities for estate planning if you are financially secure. We explain to you as clearly as possible, without jargon, our investment recommendations and the likely long term scenarios.
We charge fees which are paid directly by our clients. We are not paid via commissions or introducer fees.

From the report of the Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services, chaired by Don Drummond and released Wednesday.
Empirical evidence suggests that business subsidies are often not an efficient use of public resources and have done little to raise living standards. Subsidy programs can distort business decisions to the point that they are no longer based on sound economic criteria or require a reasonable degree of private risk.
Without proper accountability, these programs are also susceptible to stakeholder lobbying, which can result in an economically inefficient allocation of funds. Furthermore, the outcomes of these programs are often vague and difficult to measure, preventing thorough evaluation and analysis. It is not enough to demonstrate that a program creates or retains jobs, especially as these jobs may have been created without government support. We agree with the conclusion reached by the Task Force on Competitiveness, Productivity and Economic Progress, headed by Roger Martin, that an economic policy focused on job creation “can be very costly with few results.”
Subsidies that are used to bail out failing firms or declining sectors are also problematic. While they can achieve short-term objectives such as job retention, over the long term they can impede structural shifts and allocation of resources that would improve productivity in the overall economy. Bailouts entail a potential political risk, provoking questions of fairness and the creation of an “un-level” playing field among business competitors. The record of such interventions has generally featured more failures than successes.
Certain sectors and activities rely considerably on government support. When the combined subsidy of federal and provincial grants and tax credits is considered, the support can be significant. For example, it is estimated that almost 60% of all film and television production spending in Ontario in 2010 was subsidized by federal and Ontario film tax credits, grants and other related funding.
Similarly, federal and provincial tax incentives for research and development can reduce the after-tax cost of a $100 R&D expenditure in Ontario to as low as $37. There are also situations where a single dollar of business expense is eligible for two or more provincial tax incentives, or in which tax incentives are provided on expenses where the business received direct funding from the provincial or federal government.
Currently, Ontario has a hodgepodge of direct and indirect programs scattered across a variety of ministries with various economic development mandates. This unco-ordinated system leads to duplication in delivery and processing, resulting in unnecessary costs. Many firms, especially small ones, have difficulty navigating this complex program landscape, which is further complicated by the existence of federal and local subsidies and other programs. Business support programs are fragmented and lack clear and coherent objectives. This creates significant challenges for tracking and evaluating program costs against outcomes. As data on outcomes are often poor and inconsistent, it is unclear whether the programs are achieving any economic benefits for Ontario.
Some argue that since other jurisdictions employ subsidies to lure business investment, Ontario must do the same to remain competitive. This line of thinking can lead to situations where companies are able to bid up incentives across competing jurisdictions, resulting in what is known as the “winner’s curse.”
The government’s business support programs require a reset in light of Ontario’s fiscal and economic challenges. If we were to design business support programs from scratch, they would not look like what we have now.

Austria is set to introduce a coronavirus immunity passport, known as a ‘Green Card’, in April. The card will be for vaccinated people as well as those who have recovered from the virus and who have tested negative.
Few specifics are known at this stage of the way Austria’s green card will operate, however it has been modelled on the card implemented in Israel in February.
The card will be part of a European Union initiative to allow people with coronavirus immunity to travel across the bloc again.
While the EU immunity passport is expected to cover travel only and will not be rolled out until June or July, Austria hopes to have its own version by April.
“We don’t want to wait for implementation at European level,” said Kurz on Wednesday.
In Austria it is also expected to allow people certain privileges domestically, such as attending bars and restaurants, events and fitness centres.
Austria’s Health Minister Rudolf Anschober is overseeing the project and will begin the legal preparations on Friday, March 19th.
Anschober said there were unlikely to be any legal or civil liberties issues with the plan, with the legal foundation stable under the Epidemics Act and the Covid-19 Measures Act.
Representatives of the tourism and hospitality industries have welcomed the move.
Tourism Minister Elisabeth Köstinger said the plan would allow Austrians to head abroad and people to visit Austria again.
“A user-friendly digital solution that provides information about vaccinations, test results or infection is the key to being able to travel again,” she said on Wednesday.
