Helstonia – Pentire, No. 5 Church Street
I have been unable to find any documentation that would date this house precisely. However, a comparative examination of their respective frontages leads me to believe that the building is contemporaneous with the Andrew Hall, the former Helston Church of England National School that is dated 1828. In fact the similarities in architectural style and materials lead me to think that the two buildings may have had a common designer/builder. In view of one salient occupant of 5 Church Street for over 40 years, the similarity between the two buildings is apt.
Having assumed that the building dates from circa 1830, an examination of town directories dating from 1830 and census returns from 1841,’51 and ‘61 does not give any definite indication as to the identities of individual residents. In looking for a private resident who fits the later profile of solidly middle-class status one finds several possibilities but none that can be confirmed. The most likely, considering some later residents and their connections might be Mrs. Mary Ellis. She is listed as a private resident in Kelly’s Directory of 1856 and – more suggestively – as Mrs. Mary Kendall Ellis in Slater’s Directory of 1852-’53.
The first resident of whom I’m fairly certain is John Kendall who appears with his family and household in the census of 1871. Mr. Kendall is listed as a Bank Cashier and was almost certainly a member of the Kendall family who were prominent in the professional, commercial and political life of Helston for several generations. In 1871 John Kendall was 31 years old and lived with his wife Ellen, 34, sons, John, 4, Charles, 2 and daughter Helen, 1. The household also included Rachel Pryor, 66, Eliza Pascoe, 27 and Honor Scholar, 19, all described as Domestic Servants. The apparently genteel arrangements of this household may have been disturbed when the bank where Mr. Kendall was employed – along with many others – went bust during the financial panic of the mid-1870s. [ Plus ca change.]
It is in the 1881 census that we encounter the first evidence of the remarkable 40-plus year residency of Thomas Taylor and his family. Mr. Taylor was originally from Wolborough, Devon. In 1881 he was listed as 48 years old (although this does not jibe with later census listings, nor with Mr. Taylor’s age given when he died) and is described as a Teacher Trained & Certified. His wife, ten years younger and similarly described was from Holsworthy, also in Devon. Living with them were their daughters Alice K., 18, a Draper’s Assistant; Ellen M., 14, Scholar; and Charlotte M., 12 also a Scholar. Elizabeth Pearce, 27, was employed as a Domestic Servant – General. As Mr. Taylor was retired by 1901 but was later said to have been headmaster of Helston National School for 40 years, it may be assumed that he and his wife had apparently come to Cornwall from their native Devon some years before their residence at 5 Church Street. Their eldest daughter was born at Breage and the two younger girls in Helston. Mr. Taylor continues to be listed as a private resident in Church Street (sometimes the house number is given, sometimes not) in town directories from 1883 through 1923. The census of 1891 (giving the head of household’s age as 55 and employment as Schoolmaster Certified) indicates that the Taylor daughters had moved away – or at least were not present when the enumerator called – and that of 1901 refers to Mr. Taylor, 65, as a Retired Schoolmaster. In 1881 Mr. Taylor was elected as a Helston Borough Councillor and in 1898 he was made an Alderman. On several occasions he declined the office of Mayor. Mr. Taylor Thomas continued to be prominent in Helston life after his retirement, serving in various semi-public capacities, including that of Secretary of the Helston Public Rooms Company housed in the Godolphin Hall built in 1888-’89 and for many years up to the present day home of the Godolphin Club. Mr. Taylor was also a prominent Freemason being Past Master of the Loyal & True 318 Helston lodge of which he was also the long-standing secretary. He also held the rank of Past Provincial Junior Grand Warden Past Master of Lodge St. Michael Mark, Master Masons.*
The following Death Notice appeared in the West Briton of June 13th 1923: “TAYLOR – on June 12th at 3 Church Street, Helston, Cornwall, Alderman Thomas Taylor, 87. Funeral Service at Helston Parish Church on Saturday June 16th at 2:00pm. No flowers by special request.” The fact that Mr. Taylor, in his capacities both as schoolmaster and elected official and as Freemason, was a prominent individual in Helston life is attested – despite his instruction that there should be no public procession following his death – by the attendance at his funeral service of virtually all the Great & Good of Helston and environs: the published list – after immediate family mourners including his daughters – being headed by Col. Sir Courtney Vyvyan and including the entirety of borough councillors, aldermen and officers. Mr. Taylor was buried in Helston Cemetary.
By 1926 and through at least 1930, the house was occupied by Mrs. Angove. I assume this to be the widow of Josiah Angove who for many years carried on business next door at No. 3, being variously described as Tin Plate Worker, Whitesmith and Dealer in China & Glass. I’m not quite sure why Mr. Taylor was said to have died in the house next door to his own but assume either a degree of neighbourliness or a newspaper misprint. I was told several years ago that Mrs. Angove’s daughter was alive and resident in Wendron Street.
The last two occupants of No. 5 to be listed in the pre-World War II Kelly’s Directories are: 1935, A.R. Cunnack and, 1939, Mrs. Cunnack. The Cunnack family, of course, feature largely in Helston annals, particularly in connection with the old tannery on the site of the present British Legion Club. Other Cunnacks appear as booksellers and several served at various times as Helston borough councillors and aldermen.
In the absence of documentation (particularly the property’s deeds) I have been unable to trace the freehold ownership of 5 Church Street, although it seems likely that Thomas Taylor would have held it at some time: 40-plus years is a long time to be paying rent. There is a possibility that the property was at one time part of the Penrose Estate, or owned individually by members of the Rogers family. There may also have been a connection with the Ellis & Co. Brewery. The brewery, founded in 1803, was originally located at the corner of Church Street and what later became Penrose Road. When that site was acquired for the building of the United Methodist Church circa 1838** the brewery moved to a location further east along the lane that borders the north gable of 5 Church Street. Pigot’s Directory of 1823 lists a John Ellis as landlord of The Helston Arms. This inn, as the “Helston Armes”, is noted in “An Account of the Taverns, Brandy Shoppes and Alehouses in this borough” dating from no later than 1732 and names William Remfrey as landlord. The house was sometimes called The Black Rock.*** In Pigot’s Directory of 1830 the landlord is named as John Kendall, very possibly father – or other relation – of John Kendall the bank cashier. Other records indicate that the inn may have belonged to the Ellis brewery until it ceased trading in the early 1890s. The Helston Arms was closed sometime between 1919 and 1923, possibly by compulsory order with compensation paid.
No. 5 Church Street is presently used for social accommodation under the auspices of Cornwall County Council.
Even as such documents go the Land Registry Entry for 5 Church Street is singularly uninformative as to the history of the building.

text: Behind the CandelabraActingDirectingCinematographyScriptTimeless2013-11-174.1Overall ScoreFor the longest time, this movie was on my To-Do List on HBO Go and tonight on my 32nd birthday, I decided to watch it….and I can already claim that it was a good decision. Already in the first 15 minutes, the “gayness” of this movie is quite open but I have to say it is absolutely awesome. Without knowing anything about Liberace and his story, I still did enjoy this movie a ton. In the first half of this movie, I was mostly impressed with the acting of Michael Douglas. He truly shows what kind of a versatile and courageous actor he is by taking on the role of such a “controversial” figure. As the movie progresses, Matt Damon’s character is getting better and better. When first starting to watch this movie the comparison with Brokeback Mountain (as the first big production portraying the love between two male characters) is pretty obvious. This story however was so much more riveting and interesting; granted that it portrayed a different timeline and “framework”. And regardless of that, I was just so much more entertained and vested than I was when watching Brokeback Mountain. Soderbergh portrays the a love story between two male leads but it is ultimately “just” a love story and despite the pretty graphic love scenes, he never rubs it in your face. A big personal highlight for me was also to finally see Dan Aykroyd back on screen, it feels like forever since he has been in a big(ish) movie production. All the great acting aside, this movie also tells a very interesting story about the last years of one of the (apparently) greatest entertainers of our times (which I recommend browsing through during the movie). Even more interesting – and maybe controversial than that – is the story behind Matt Damon’s character Scott Thorson. All that combined in a wonderfully crafted movie with great costumes, fantastic colors and very well executed character development adds up to an absolutely excellent saturday night entertainment. After watching this movie and learning that both Douglas and Damon basically took no money for this movie (which is just a wonderful piece of art) makes me like and respect them so much more. It is really a shame that Hollywood would deny financing this movie for being “too gay”. Looking at the horrendous crap which receives millions of dollars of production budget, this (not so hidden) gem would have truly deserved some money, and I’m sure Michael Douglas would have gotten at least a well-deserved shot for an Oscar nomination. If you get a chance to watch it, it is really worth it and I highly recommend it. The Good Douglas and Damon in one of their all-time best performances Incredibly good movie for the low budget Entertaining throughout the whole movie The Bad Why did Hollywood not pick this one up – and instead shoot White House Down and Olympus has Fallen in one year?

Shared office spaces have come a long way since Brad Neuberg coined the term “coworking” in 2005 for his San Francisco establishment. He invited the community to run with the idea, and they did just that. The movement that centered around sharing cheap office space in an open, community setting is redefining the way we work. As an alternative to the expense of moving into your own office space, shared office spaces became a huge hit for startups, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. Soon, large companies took notice of increased productivity, creativity on the rise and the overall sense of work-life balance that coworking spaces offer. As coworking spaces continue to open throughout the globe, take a look at some of the synergistic effects of shared office spaces.
As shared office spaces have evolved, small- and medium-sized companies are finding that the diverse array of businesses in their coworking spaces helps them to set down roots in the community. Working alongside other members who can mutually benefit from connecting with the local business community sets the wheels of growth in motion.
Large companies are getting in on the local scene by enticing talent to work in their localized shared office spaces. With a tight job market, employing talent from other regional markets opens up many avenues for large corporations. Remote workers like the structured environment of shared office spaces with the community aspect as well as enjoying the same amenities as a corporate headquarters might have.
Collaboration and partnerships
The open exchange of ideas and creativity in shared office space environments is by nature an integral element of the coworking experience. Traditional office spaces can’t really offer the opportunity for an open exchange of ideas to their employees. So, in order to breathe energy, motivation, and productivity into corporate office scenarios, large companies are moving some of their design, marketing, and other teams to shared office spaces. Some large companies rent coworking spaces for a “day away” for employees that act to generate and refresh ideas through interacting with members outside of corporate environments.
Small businesses, startups, and freelancers also benefit from the presence of large companies in the coworking scheme of things. A trend in incubating businesses and partnering with large companies is working to help grow small businesses. Onsite events allow for networking and professional growth opportunities for those entrepreneurs and smaller businesses.
Another added perk of the shared office space community focuses on the educational and business-themed events that strengthen community bonds in coworking spaces. From large corporations and SMEs to individuals, the floor is yours to share insights, to launch a product, initiative or campaign, and to build strong business relationships with other members. Sponsored events act as a platform for exchanging ideas and ultimately collaborating in new business ventures. Members also enjoy discounts at area restaurants and other local businesses. In addition to meeting members of large companies at networking events, many growing businesses choose the flexibility of shared office spaces to make their next move less stressful.
Expanding in place
For companies ready to move to the next phase of expansion, the flexibility of coworking spaces allows businesses to concentrate on their core initiatives, instead of investing their time and expenses into lengthy commercial space leases, as well as the complicated setup, outfitting, and maintenance of independent offices. This turnkey solution works for corporations, also, as they don’t have to waste time and money procuring regional offices when they join coworking spaces to meet the needs of their remote workers.
With flexible, monthly agreements, businesses can add more desks in addition to renting dedicated spaces and private offices easily, as their needs change. For the hiring or orientation process, a business may need conference room space for a day or a week or more. Coworking spaces rent conference rooms that are presentation savvy, with high-speed Internet and all of the audio and visual technology you require for meetings. Additionally, shared office spaces are equipped with business class printers, scanners, and copiers to streamline your preparation for meetings.
Not just rent but all other expenses
Large companies moving into new markets can test the waters in coworking spaces without needing to buy or build spaces, initially. In order to facilitate new developments, large companies can set up temporary headquarters in shared office spaces and get to work immediately. At some point, when it makes sense to move, large companies may leave the coworking space environment to set up shop on their own.
However, some large companies are saying, “Hang on a minute,” when they realize that leaving their coworking communities involves losing much more than they stand to gain by isolating their businesses. The ready-to-roll membership benefits coworking spaces offer are one thing, but what about the vibe, the collaborative climate, and other intangibles that make coworking spaces so popular? Large companies seem to be creating a hybrid for their futures. These large companies are striving for the best of both worlds – Expanding their own brand footprints fostered by the energizing effect of working around other business professionals as well as the motivating, open exchange of ideas and the sense of belonging to a larger community.
A new development in shared office spaces sees large companies opting for enterprise-level memberships. In some of these ventures, a company can occupy an entire floor of a building or take over an entire building while inviting other businesses to share office space in the same building. This strategy benefits small- and medium-sized businesses looking to grow their brands.
At Venture X, we offer shared office spaces in upscale, contemporary settings. With well-appointed spaces, Herman Miller furnishings, and SitOnIt chairs, our spaces create versatile spaces to work, relax, and grow your company. As you can see, the benefits of a coworking space go way beyond any real estate benefits imaginable.

Methodological quality of the review: Medium confidence
Author: Che Hamzah J, Burr JM, Ramsay CR, Azuara-Blanco A, Prior M
Geographical coverage: Not reported
Sub-sector: Patient-reported outcome instruments, validity
Equity focus: None specified
Review type: Effectiveness review
Quantitative synthesis method: Narrative analysis
Qualitative synthesis method: Not applicable
Background: Traditionally, evaluation of outcomes in glaucoma clinical trials has focused on clinical measures of glaucoma status, mainly the extent of visual field loss and level of intra-ocular pressure (IOP). However, such measures do not capture any effects of glaucoma or its treatment on activity limitation and overall wellbeing.
Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are defined as “outcomes reported by patients”. Aspects covered include patients’ physical ability to carry out activities of daily living (such as self-care and walking), psychological (emotional and mental wellbeing), social functioning (relationships with others, participation in social activities), perception of health status, personal construct and satisfaction with life and care.
PROs of visual functioning and quality of life (QOL) are important as the ultimate goal of therapy is to maintain patients’ ability to function in everyday life. They should not be considered as surrogates for objective measures of disease as they are measuring different constructs. A large number of instruments have been developed to measure PROs. Selecting an instrument depends on the objectives of the study and the target population.
Objectives: To identify patient-reported outcome instruments relevant to glaucoma and assess their content validity.
Main findings: A total of 33 vision-specific PRO instruments were included in the review. 16 instruments were vision-specific, 16 were glaucoma-specific and one combined instrument was identified. 13 vision-specific instruments comprised instruments measuring vision status, two looked at vision disability, and one looked at vision satisfaction.
Of the glaucoma-specific instruments, five measured glaucoma status, one measured glaucoma medication related to health status, four looked at glaucoma medication impairment, and six measured glaucoma medication satisfaction. The National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 “Impact of Vision Impairment and Treatment Satisfaction Survey-Intraocular Pressure” had the highest number of positive ratings in the content validity assessment.
Authors note that this systematic review provides a descriptive catalogue of vision-specific PRO instruments, to inform the choice of an appropriate measure of patient-reported outcomes in a glaucoma context.
Methodology: All articles, published in English, reporting the use of vision PRO instruments in adult glaucoma participants were included. Once an instrument was identified, any article related to its development, and/or validation of the instruments ascertaining to the final version of the instrument, was also included. The content of each instrument had to be fully described in the articles and freely available. Reviews, letters and editorials were excluded. Authors searched the following databases: MEDLINE and MEDLINE In process, EMBASE and SCOPUS.
Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts of all articles identified by the search strategy, assessed articles against the inclusion criteria and identified vision PRO instruments from primary studies for inclusion. For each instrument, two reviewers independently extracted data. A data extraction form was developed and piloted on four instruments selected from those identified and refined accordingly.
Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of included instruments using a modified version of the published quality-assessment tool. Each criterion was evaluated with a positive rating, a minimal acceptable rating, or a negative rating. A “higher quality” study was considered to be one with a high number of positive ratings.
Data synthesis consisted of a review of vision instruments. These were categorised into vision-specific, glaucoma-specific and combined instruments.
Applicability/external validity: Authors did not discuss the generalizability of the results.
Geographic focus: Geographical focus of studies and/or instruments were not reported in the review.
Summary of quality assessment: Medium confidence was attributed in the conclusions about the effects of this study. Authors used appropriate methods to select and extract data and quality-assess studies included in the review. To facilitate content validity in this review, an attempt was made to categorise instruments by mapping the instruments’ content to the WHO ICF framework, and analyse findings from this review in a narrative manner. Authors also acknowledged potential limitations of this review. However, search strategy consisted of database search and searching unpublished studies; references of included studies and contacting authors/experts were not part of the search strategy. This indicates the presence of publication bias. Additionally, authors included studies written in English only, implying language bias.

Women activists have identified Bangladesh's patriarchal social system and inadequate legal resources as the key causes of the country's extremely high levels of domestic violence. "Our male-dominated social system and the mindset among males to subjugate and control women are responsible for high levels of domestic violence in Bangladesh," said Rita Roselin Costa, convener of the Bangladesh Catholic bishops' women's desk. Costa was reacting to a recent survey report from the state-run Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics that found 80.2 percent of married women have faced abuse and violence at the hands of their husbands and in-laws. Forms of violence include physical, sexual, psychological and economic abuse and attempts to control a women's behavior, according to the Violence Against Women Survey 2015. In rural areas, 74.8 percent of married women faced abuse while the rate is 54.4 in urban areas, the report said.
Despite high rates of violence, 72.7 percent of victims never shared their experience with others and only about 2.6 percent sought legal support. About 41.7 percent women who faced physical or sexual violence suffered from injuries, according to the report. Over 21,000 women were surveyed for the report aged 15 and above; it was funded by United Nations Population Fund and the European Union. The survey found domestic violence had declined seven percent since the previous report in 2011. "There was a slight decline in domestic violence but in no way is it at a tolerable level," said Costa. "It's because our patriarchal society has yet to consider men and women equally in rights and respect." In Bangladesh, family finances are controlled by men and women are often deprived of money. Wives are controlled so much that some are not allowed to even visit their parents. "When men have limited income, they live in tension and attack their wives in order express anger and frustration over their limitations," Costa added. Social malpractices
The male-dominant social structure and social malpractices are indeed behind the epidemic of domestic violence, said Angela Gomes, founder and executive director of Banchte Shekha (learn how to survive), an organization working to empower women. "Our social system is repressive for girls and women," said Gomes. "It doesn't want to make women educated and help them earn an income, but ironically they are abused and considered useless for not getting an education and earning money." "Mother-in-laws were abused by their husbands and in-laws when they were young wives, so they think it's alright to abuse their sons' wives. The awful system is so deeply rooted that it]refuses to be broken," she added. Domestic violence also stems from high rates of child marriage
, dowry demands, extramarital affairs and a lack of respect for women, according to Gomes. Misinterpretation of religious teachings also plays a role. "Islam teaches that beneath the feet of a husband lies the heaven for a wife and Hindus consider girls as half the value of boys," Gomes said. Besides changing the social system and mindset, women need a right to education and economic empowerment in order to escape abuse, said Gomes. "Women must have the right to education, employment and leadership, so they are not forced to remain subordinate to men and so men can't abuse them physically or psychologically," she said. Lack of legal support
Women are forced to tolerate violence because of a lack of legal and financial resources, said Fauzia Karim, a Supreme Court lawyer and president of the Bangladesh National Woman Lawyer's Association. "Women often don't share experiences of violence fearing that it would bring her a bad name as people would think she has done something wrong," said Karim. The Domestic Violence Act 2010 and the Prevention of Oppression Against Women and Children Act 2000 were supposed to help women but few take advantage of the law, she said. "Women are often not aware about these laws and even if they are aware they don't have enough financial resources and time to go through the expensive and lengthy legal justice system," Karim said. "There must be concerted efforts from the government and women's rights organizations to spread awareness and offer legal assistance to victims," she added.

Reasons to Book the Blue Cruise in Turkey This Summer
For Many years sailors have been attracted to Turkey’s Turquoise coast, filled with stunning bays, crystal waters, cute towns, Ancient Lycian cities and a backdrop of the snowcapped Taurus Mountain range. A gulet cruise is a fantastic way to enjoy some of Turkey’s most beautiful spots, boats regularly depart from the main coastal towns of Fethiye, Marmaris and Bodrum, with many routes along the Turkey’s south Coast as well as trips to Greek islands.
From the port town of Bodrum, straddled between the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea’s, to the colourful Fethiye harbour and the wide apartment backed city beach in Antalya, the Blue Cruise will take you past some of Turkey’s most impressive scenery. The southwest coast lies at the foot of the Taurus mountains where bare rock faces drop directly into deep blue sea and small caves appear in cracks just above the water. Rugged hills envelope enchanting beaches and green islands float like sugar lumps in the ocean. Photographers will instantly fall in love with the unimaginable natural beauty of the Turquoise coast. A multi day cruise would offer you the chance to watch spectacular undisturbed sunrises and dazzling sunsets from the comfort of your gulet boat.
Swim in Picturesque Locations
The advantage of cruising on the crystal waters is that there are naturally many opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in secluded coves and caves which are not accessible by land. A Blue Cruise starting in Fethiye would take you to the Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz, with its azure blue hue and sandy beach where you can watch paragliders launch themselves from top of Baba Mountain. There are many great spots close to Kas where your boat will anchor in the Kekova bay for optional snorkeling and swimming or further east towards Demre you can jump from the deck of your gulet and swim into the mystical Blue Cave through the narrow, sunlit entrance.
South west Turkey was once dominated by the Lycian people, although evidence of Ancient Greeks and Romans is also present in the region. A Blue cruise can take you to many of these interesting sites including Patara Ruins, once a wealthy Lycian port city and major trading centre, Patara sits at the end of the Xanthos river at the east end of a 12-kilometer sandy beach. Myra and Phellos are also well-preserved Lycian sites that can be visited on a Blue Cruise. The most captivating is the ancient city of Kekova which, due to earthquakes, now lays beneath the sea. Kekova is justly referred to as the Sunken City and the protected area can be observed from your gulet boat or from the top of Simena castle.
Watch for Wildlife
Nature lovers will be in for a treat, keep your eyes open and you should spot a few dolphins, they are particularly numerous around the resort town of Kalkan, and you may also see whales rise to the surface. Endangered species such as Monk Seals, Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles inhabit these waters and there are nesting areas at Patara and Cirali. Luminous fish light up the dark waters at night and to provide a colourful show. Birdwatchers can search for the Imperial eagle and other rare birds at the wetlands behind Patara beach or look for the Jersey Tiger Butterfly in Butterfly Valley.
Diverse Day Stops
The Blue Cruise routes will bring you to various points of interest along the coast where you will be able to go ashore for shopping, eating and exploring. Many routes dock in the busy fishing town of Kas, with nearby ruins and a bustling market street, as well as the dramatic blue bay of Olympos and Cirali, alternatively you could begin/end your cruise here with a Kas to Olympos Blue Cruise and take you time to explore the area.
A long pebble beach connects the two small towns at the foot of a rocky cliff face, Olympos most famously offers visitors the chance to explore the Lycian ruins which stretch along the valley’s river bank all the way to the sea, impressive burial sites can be found strewn throughout the steep pine forest. At the further end of Cirali the beach becomes sandier and you can find the carettas (Sea Turtles), from May to October nesting takes place here and you are likely to see turtle tracks in the sand. A short hike from the beach will take you to a natural phenomenon, Chimaera (Yanartas), where small flames burst from various places in the rock, burning all day and night.
Two Countries in One Vacation
Due to their proximity, it is possible to explore both the Turkish coastline before sailing from Bodrum across the Greek border to the nearby Dodecanese Islands. Routes are available to the Northern Islands, visiting Kos, Leros, Patmos, Pserimos and Lipsi or the Southern Islands, which additionally stops at Rhodes, Symi and Nisyros, a rural volcanic island with cobbled stone streets and local eateries. Most Blue cruises around the Greek islands are from 4 to 8 days and offer a pleasant mix of Greek culture and history, great snorkeling and diving opportunities – check out the English Harbour – and idyllic views across the sea to scattered islands.

Video: Peter Chiarelli is the new EPF Ambassador
(Edmonton, AB) - Edmonton Oilers President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Peter Chiarelli will expand his community involvement as a newly appointed Edmonton Police Foundation (EPF) Ambassador. The Edmonton Police Foundation proudly announced Chiarelli's Ambassador role, the first in EPF history, earlier today at Rogers Place.
The role of the Edmonton Police Foundation Ambassador is to support the EPF in community outreach and engagement activities. The ambassador will bring perspectives from other areas of business, other jurisdictions and connections to sectors such as business, entertainment, sports, arts and culture to enhance the EPF's public presence and build bridges between the Foundation and broader community.
"Peter is a real leader and Oilers Entertainment Group is proud to call him one of our own. His legal background and knack for pursuing excellence was a natural fit for the Edmonton Police Foundation," said Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) Vice-Chairman Kevin Lowe, who serves as an Edmonton Police Foundation Board Member. "Peter is going to have a tremendous positive impact in our community and we should all be excited about what lies ahead."
The Edmonton Police Foundation was established by community leaders in June 2000 as an independent, non-profit charitable organization to promote and support community policing, crime prevention and education initiatives developed by the Edmonton Police Service (EPS).
The EPF regards this as a unique opportunity to benefit from the support of one of Edmonton's most notable sports and entertainment leaders.
"Mr. Chiarelli's prominent leadership role in the business, sports and entertainment sectors will make him a tremendous asset to the Edmonton Police Foundation, and we're looking forward to working with him on our community building initiatives," said Edmonton Police Foundation Chair Sol Rolingher.
The role envisions Peter Chiarelli's support of EPF events throughout the year, including the annual EPF True Blue Gala, participation in awareness-building events such as ride alongs which build and strengthen the relationship between the police and community.
"There's no doubt that with leadership comes responsibility, and that's something that I'm really proud of. I'm humbled to represent our city and community as the Edmonton Police Foundation Ambassador," said Chiarelli. "Edmonton is a special place and I'm looking forward to building strong connections in this city and helping further the great work that the Edmonton Police Foundation does."
To commemorate the Edmonton Police Service's 125th year in 2017, the Oilers will dedicate its game on March 7, 2017 to EPS 125 when the team plays the New York Islanders at Rogers Place. During the 2017-18 Oilers season, Oilers Entertainment Group will host a major fundraising gala in support of the Edmonton Police Foundation. More details will be announced at a later date.
Prior to his current role as Oilers President of Hockey Operations and General Manager, Chiarelli graduated from Harvard University with an Economics degree in 1987 and played for the Harvard men's hockey team from 1983-87. He began his career in hockey after graduating with a law degree from the University of Ottawa and was hired as the Director of Legal Relations for the Ottawa Senators in 2000. In 2005, Chiarelli was promoted to assistant General Manager of the Senators and he served in that role for one season, before being hired by the Boston Bruins in 2006 where he served as General Manager for eight seasons. Chiarelli guided the Bruins to the Stanley Cup Final twice during his tenure in Boston, including winning the Stanley Cup in 2011.

Multicloud is inevitable if organisations want to have access to the largest range of cloud services as they innovate for their customers. It goes hand in hand with digital transformation and creating new digital customer experiences. However, multiple public and private clouds — each with dozens to hundreds of distinct services — are often coupled with on-prem workloads, leading to exponential complexity that creates new challenges. This white paper discusses three essential strategies to overcome multicloud and hybrid cloud complexity.

Birth meant death in northern Nigeria last week. On Aug. 19 Amina Lawal, a divorced Nigerian woman, sat in a crowded courtroom in the town of Funtua, cradling the youngest of her four children, as an Islamic high court upheld the draconian sentence she had received earlier this year for having sex out of wedlock: death by stoning. "God is great!" cried many of the spectators—all male—in the public gallery. Lawal, 30, burst into tears, clutching 8-month-old Wasila more tightly. Her lawyers vowed to appeal to a still higher Islamic court and, should that fail, to Nigeria's secular Supreme Court. "It's unfair," said Clara Obazele, a government spokeswoman, of the ruling. "A woman cannot be pregnant without a man, so where is that man? He deserves similar punishment."
Lawal, like many of her countrywomen, has already seen more than her share of hardship. Growing up poor in a hamlet on the edge of the Sahara, she gave birth to her older three children during a 14-year-long first marriage forced on her as a child. Lawal testified during her original trial last March, at which she had no lawyer, that she became pregnant with Wasila during a relationship with a local tax collector, Yahiya Mohammad, who she said had promised marriage. Though Mohammad initially admitted paternity, he was later freed after swearing on the Koran that he had not had sex with Lawal. The court's version of mercy was to stay her execution until she weans Wasila, which it said might not be for two years.
Well before then, however, Lawal's supporters hope that an international outcry over her sentence will help get it overturned, as was recently the case with the first Nigerian woman given the death penalty for adultery. "As a Muslim scholar, I am horrified," says Akbar Ahmed, chairman of Islamic Studies at American University in Washington, D.C. "You are seeing a corruption of Islam, which emphasizes compassion and tolerance."

A report summary newly released by a team at Lehigh led by Thomas McAndrew, a computational scientist and assistant professor in the College of Health, shares the consensus of experts in the modeling of infectious disease who were asked to rank the top five most effective interventions to mitigate the spread and impact of COVID-19 in the U.S.
The report is part of an ongoing meta forecasting project aimed at translating forecasting and real world experience into actions.
McAndrew and his colleagues wanted to answer: “Here is where we are, what should we do about it?" They worked with forecasting technology experts at Metaculus, which describes itself as “a community dedicated to generating accurate predictions about future real-world events.”
“We asked subject matter experts in the modeling of infectious disease to rank the top five most effective interventions alongside a rationale for each intervention to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and burden of COVID-19,” says McAndrew. “The process is called a Delphi process—a technique to generate a behavioral, as opposed to a mathematical, consensus by allowing a group of experts to iteratively propose and revise ideas."
The top five interventions experts proposed are:
- A national stay-at-home order with financial compensation for lost wages
- Better access to a COVID-19 vaccine
- A national mask mandate
- Better access to diagnostic testing
- A national, coordinated response to COVID-19
From the report summary:
“An expert consensus ranked a national stay-at-home order with financial compensation for lost wages as the most effective intervention to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the burden of COVID-19. Experts reasoned that the U.S. may see a surge in cases with the presence of new variants like B.1.1.7, that testing and contact tracing are most effective when a population is under quarantine, and that decreasing the frequency of contact between individuals will slow the spread of disease. Though, experts did comment that this may be a difficult intervention to implement in the U.S. due to sociocultural and economic factors.
"The second most effective intervention proposed by experts was to increase the rate of vaccination by opening new locations to provide a vaccine or expanding the hours of vaccination centers, making it easier to register for a vaccine, adopting methods of vaccine delivery proven to be effective in other countries, and placing priority on a first dose over second dose. The most frequent reason for an increased rate of vaccination, given by experts, was that a small percentage of distributed vaccines to date have been used to inoculate the U.S. population.
"The third most effective intervention proposed by an expert consensus was to impose a mask mandate, an enforceable requirement that the population wear masks when interacting in a public place. Experts reasoned that masks are known to effectively reduce the transmission of viral particles from one infected person to another.”
The report is being sent to members of the Centers for Disease Control, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and members of MIDAS.


|(Graphic by Kat Garcia)|
House Speaker Paul Ryan is back in the news. The photogenic Ayn Rand poster boy for plutocratic supremacy is being dragged out by the centrist chattering class as the last great, white hope to defeat the great white dope named Donald Trump -- who is, by the way, a pure genius in the way he manipulates the media for billions of dollars' worth of free air time.... not to mention the pure genius of manipulating the media who provide such prominent coverage of the media manipulation.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is champing at the bit to finally dispose of her true threat, Bernie Sanders, the better to sink her teeth into Trump in the general election. Barack Obama, long portrayed in the media mythology textbooks as "the only adult in the room," is now reportedly working on a whole book of new hilarious Donald Trump jokes. He not only aims to put the fun back into fighting fascism, he aims to keep pretending that fascism (corporatism) hasn't been an integral part of the American political process ever since our nation was born out of slavery and mass extermination.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, apparently feeling confident enough in a Hillary coronation to cease and desist from his serial rabid Bernie-bashing, is regressing back to his own true area of expertise: bashing the Republican Party in general, and Paul Ryan in particular. Like just about everybody in the liberal class, Krugman whines that the GOP, in all its "invincible ignorance," is disowning its own responsibility for the rise of Donald Trump:
Like just about everyone in the Republican establishment, Mr. Ryan is in denial about the roots of Trumpism, about the extent to which the party deliberately cultivated anger and racial backlash, only to lose control of the monster it created. But what I found especially striking were his comments on tax policy. I know, boring — but indulge me here. There’s a larger moral.
You might think that Republican thought leaders would be engaged in some soul-searching about their party’s obsession with cutting taxes on the wealthy. Why do candidates who inveigh against the evils of budget deficits and federal debt feel obliged to propose huge high-end tax cuts — much bigger than those of George W. Bush -- that would eliminate trillions in revenue?As is his wont, Krugman glosses right over Democratic complicity (Third Way free-market Clintonism) in the rise of Trump. My published response:
Since the official embrace of ignorance has been a mainstay of right-wingery for more than 200 years, the GOP is simply following a grand old tradition. Their beef with Trump is that he wears his ignorance on his sleeve.
Lyin' Ryan and his cohort, meanwhile, couldn't survive without the complicity of the other big business party. Just last week*, President Obama praised him for being a good husband, father and a patriot. He doesn't often agree with him, of course, but he has no reason to doubt Ryan's sincere concern for "folks."
Obama (and the entire Establishment, it seems) are, however, chiding the young agitators who are disrupting Trump's fascist rallies. What really scares them is bottom-up democracy, citizens who aren't just consumers, and the inclusive message of Bernie Sanders.
They would prefer to work with nice family men like Ryan to quietly "trim" or "reform" social programs, while pouring trillions of dollars into permanent war and the surveillance state. Every extra crumb for the needy is offset by a reward for the rich. The slow destruction of the safety net and the funneling of all the wealth to the top 1% must be conducted calmly and efficiently.
Their Exceptional America is for the exceptional top 1%. They, who are so devoted to family: their own. They are true patriots, whose love for the corporate state trumps everything: particularly the "folks" they claim to represent.
Hear the duopoly roar: politely, seriously, invincibly.*Obama's complete "both sides do it" remarks at a St. Patrick's Day luncheon can be found here. The salient excerpts, in which he fawned over Ryan and scolded political protesters for being rude to The Donald, implicitly including the Black Lives Matter activists, are here:
And so I know that I’m not the only one in this room who may be more than a little dismayed about what’s happening on the campaign trail lately. We have heard vulgar and divisive rhetoric aimed at women and minorities -- at Americans who don’t look like “us,” or pray like “us,” or vote like we do. We’ve seen misguided attempts to shut down that speech, however offensive it may be. We live in a country where free speech is one of the most important rights that we hold.(Except when militarized police forces get together and use batons and pepper spray to squelch free speech at Occupy camps and at anti-war and anti-corporate "free trade" protests. It is "misguided" for protesters to shut down roads that lead to a demagogue whose whole raison d'etre is to incite riots.)
In response to those attempts, we’ve seen actual violence, and we’ve heard silence from too many of our leaders. Speaker Ryan, I appreciated the words on this topic that you shared with us this morning. But too often we’ve accepted this as somehow the new normal.(No word about the physical courage of people who are willing to get beaten up for their protests against racism and xenophobia. Aren't their protests also free speech? Probably what Obama really fears is the whole corrupt duopoly collapsing in upon itself, and of course, protests at Hillary Clinton's rallies. Better be quiet little consumer-citizens and wait for the Adult President to tell Trump jokes to lighten things up a bit.)
And it’s worth asking ourselves what each of us may have done to contribute to this kind of vicious atmosphere in our politics. I suspect that all of us can recall some intemperate words that we regret. Certainly, I can. And while some may be more to blame than others for the current climate, all of us are responsible for reversing it. For it is a cycle that is not an accurate reflection of America. And it has to stop. And I say that not because it’s a matter of “political correctness,” it’s about the way that corrosive behavior can undermine our democracy, and our society, and even our economy....(This is from the guy who until quite recently openly embraced Grand Bargain austerity and the Sequester, is still covering up portions of the CIA torture report, still shielding war criminals, shielding Wall Street criminals, waging wars both openly and secretly, killing thousands of civilians in drone strikes, and orchestrating coups in Honduras, Ukraine and other democratic countries. Violence is, and always has been, an accurate reflection of America. And yet Obama is singling out protesters at Trump's political rallies and glossing over the de facto social policy violence of Paul Ryan.)
And this is also about the American brand. Who are we? How are we perceived around the world? There’s a reason that America has always attracted the greatest talent from every corner of the globe. There’s a reason that “Made in America” means something. It’s because we’re creative, and dynamic, and diverse, and inclusive, and open. Why would we want to see that brand tarnished? The world pays attention to what we say and what we do....(America is pure propaganda, an advertising brand, a low-wage talent magnet, a maudlin appeal to patriotism in order to quell anger and dissent. Not much is actually made in America any more, thanks to NAFTA, the WTO inclusion of China into the Walton family oligarchy, and other "trade" deals. Obama seems more concerned about his reputation and legacy and public relations than about the reality that the whole world has been noticing for quite some time now.)
So when we leave this lunch, I think we have a choice. We can condone this race to the bottom, or accept it as the way things are and sink further. Or we can roundly reject this kind of behavior, whether we see it in the other party, or more importantly, when we see it in our own party, and set a better example for our children and the rest of the country to follow. It starts with us.(And if the duopoly has anything to say about it, the horrible example they set will be kept largely confined to opulent rooms behind closed doors. After all, this administration is credited with being the most secretive in memory. If only the angry citizens would just shut up, the kids won't look around and discover that one out of every 30 of them is homeless for the sole reason that the elite political class has never seen fit to implement a humane, affordable housing policy in this country.)
Speaker Ryan, you and I don’t agree on a lot of policy. But I know you are a great father and a great husband, and I know you want what’s best for America. And we may fiercely disagree on policy -- and the NFC North -- (laughter) -- but I don’t have a bad word to say about you as a man. And I would never insult my fellow Irish like that....
That’s what carried us through other times that were far more tough and far more dangerous than the one that we're in today -– times where we were told to fear the future; times where we were told to turn inward and to turn against each other. And each time, we overcame those fears. Each time, we faced the future with confidence in who we are and what we stand for, and the incredible things that we’re capable of together.The corrupt duopoly is capable of so much more. Capitalism is awesomely incredible. The only thing the elites have to fear is Bernie Sanders-style Democratic Socialism.

There were whispers last Friday that Microsoft would be offering a budget Xbox bundle: lower up-front cost, offset by a sort of combination payment plan and Xbox Live subscription. Microsoft has just confirmed the deal is real: if you have a Microsoft Store nearby, you can pick up a 360 and Kinect for just $99.
(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)
You'll also have to sign up for an Xbox Live Gold subscription at $15 per month; existing accounts can be had for as little as $5, but in this case they're adding the cost of the console distributed over two years. The math works out fairly decently for the consumer: the cost of an Xbox and Kinect bundle now, plus two years of Xbox Live, ends up at around $420. With the $99 deal, the final cost is closer to $460. That's $1.67 per month extra for the privilege of not paying full price up front.
The lower barrier for entry, however, is worth a lot in marketing terms. Mobile phone companies have known for years that subsidized phones sell just fine -- far fewer people would have bought iPhones if they had a $600 price tag, even if it meant lower monthly payments after the initial hit. The 360 isn't exactly a must-have item, after more than six years on shelves, but the low price will almost certainly help Microsoft move a few units.
It also extends the cost of those units out two years while getting people hooked on the Xbox Live service. When the two years are up, the 360's successor will almost certainly be available, and the option to continue their Live service right onto the new platform will be tempting.
The catch is that deal is only available in Microsoft Stores right now. You have to show up in person and ask for "offer code 885370366266" to get signed up. Check here to find whether there's a Microsoft Store near you.

Paswan asks steel industry to hold pricesJuly 31st, 2008 - 9:24 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 31 (IANS)Steel Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said Wednesday that the steel industry would not raise prices even after Aug 7, the agreed deadline for holding prices, keeping the national interest in mind. Steel manufacturers at a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh May 7 had agreed to reduce prices of flat steel products by Rs.4,000 a tonne and by Rs.2,000 per tonne in the case of structural steel, and not to revise prices for the next three months ending Aug 7.
Talking to the media, he said Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has been asked not to hike prices. In view of the exceptional situation, he would like the industry to cooperate.
He said the government wants the steel industry to prosper and was extending it various facilities directly and indirectly that should have a favourable impact on their cost structure.
“So long as the industry earns reasonable profit, where is the need to raise prices?” he asked on the sidelines of a business meet.

Putting in the leg work! Eva Longoria wears patterned playsuit as she hits up Art Basel with her boyfriend Jose Baston

And on Thursday Eva Longoria kept up with appearances as she hit up Art Basel in Miami wearing a patterned playsuit.
The leggy display may have been for the benefit of her handsome boyfriend of 14 months Jose Antonio Baston, who led her by the arm to the art festival.

On the heels of a record number of Chicago carjackings in 2020, the trend appears to be continuing into the new year.
Through Jan. 10, the latest city data, Chicago police recorded 61 carjackings. That is compared with a total of 22 in the same time period in 2020. Carjackings in 2020 rose about 135%, to 1,415 in 2020 from 603 in 2019, according to the Tribune review of police information.
“The gangs are using these vehicles because they feel they can’t be traced,” South Chicago District Capt. Michael Murphy told the Tribune in early January. Murphy’s patrol district saw carjackings jump in 2020 to 97 from 36 the year before. “They can do their crimes, whether it be shootings or whatever it is, and then dump the car.”
Search the map below to see where Chicago carjackings have taken place in 2020 and 2021.

NAIROBI, KENYA: Five counties have an upper hand in drafting better policies for cooperative sector growth.
This follows the completion of a capacity-building programme which targeted County Executive Committee Members (CECM), Chief Officers, County Cooperative Commissioners as well as County Cooperative Directors and Officers drawn from County Governments of Narok, Kiambu, Nandi, Homa Bay, and Nyeri.
At the Strathmore Business School (SBS), 55 trainees successfully graduated with a certificate in Public Policy Making Process (PPMP).
The programme was designed and delivered by Global Communities’ USAID-funded CLEAR Program in collaboration with Strathmore University Business School.
The training, which ended on September 14, was officially opened by Governor Tunai from the County Government of Narok on September 1.
While delivering his remarks, Governor Tunai thanked Global Communities for providing support for his team in their ongoing process of developing draft policies for the cooperative sector. He also thanked Strathmore University for teaching and hosting the course.
The capacity-building program targeted County Executive Committee Members (CECM), Chief Officers, County Cooperative Commissioners as well as County Cooperative Directors and Officers drawn from County Governments of Narok, Kiambu, Nandi, Homa Bay, and Nyeri.
Participants underwent 40 hours of training to enhance capacity in the area of policy and legislative design, formulation, implementation and monitoring and evaluation; negotiation and advocacy upskilling as well as stakeholder mapping and engagement and agenda-setting in the context of gender mainstreaming and cooperative development.
The Chief of Party, USAID’s CLEAR Program, Kristin Wilcox Feldman remarked: “The Cooperative policy and legislation drafted will set the tone for the Kenyan cooperative movement’s growth for the next generations. It is of critical importance to get it right and represent the interests of Kenyan cooperators.”
Kristin added, “Global Communities’ partnership with Strathmore Business School has been a strategic win for all involved. Our co-created cooperative focused PPMP curricula will bring SBS’s leading-edge strategies to the county specialists and technocrats who are charged with the creation of these drafts. Our goal is to see those best practices play out across all USAID/CLEAR partner counties.”
The PPMP was developed out of a baseline survey conducted by Global Communities in 33 counties seeking critical information to better understand the status and levels of policy formulation skills, understanding, and appreciation of their role in creating an enabling business environment for the cooperatives to thrive. The findings of the survey revealed a significant gap in these areas.
Global Communities, therefore, went ahead to develop a Policy Legislation Affairs (PLA) strategy that would provide for a holistic approach.
This approach included the formulation and competitive bidding for a public policymaking process training institution to partner with to conduct this training.
Representing the Strathmore University Executive Dean, faculty member Martin Mbaya stated, “The Strathmore Business School is happy to partner with Global Communities to deliver the PPMP training which is critical in advancing evidence-based public policies especially around the co-operative sector” After this training, Global Communities will be engaging with the five counties to provide technical assistance in the area of inclusive and enabling county cooperative legislative drafting.

I am a 40-year-old, suffering from scabies from a week. I have two kids, a wife, and a cat, and they keep on itching themselves continuously. Please suggest treatment.
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You may have acquired animal scabies. I would suggest a single whole-body application of 5 % Permethrin cream from the neck downwards to the whole body, kept overnight for eight hours, followed by bath the next day. An OTC oral antihistamine, e.g. Cetirizine 10 mg once daily, will provide symptomatic relief from itching. Kids can take syrup Alerid (5mg/5ml) 1 tablespoon daily (Cetirizine). All the close contacts should be treated simultaneously in the same manner.
Clothing, sheets, etc., should be washed thoroughly with hot water to prevent re-infection from clothing. For the cat, you may dissolve one tablet of Ivermectol 12 mg in milk and feed her.
Query: Hi doctor, I was diagnosed with scabies, and now I am worried my family also has it. The doctor has prescribed Permethrin cream 5%, Ketoconazole cream, Flutas 150 mg, and Levocetirizine. Are these tablets fine or should I add anything more? What should I do with the furniture and mobile phones? I h... Read Full >>
Answer: Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Permethrin is fine, but Fluconazole and Ketoconazole have no role in scabies. Permethrin has to be applied two times, one week apart and every member of the family should apply it at the same time.Leave the furniture and mobile as it is, as transmission rarely occurs thro...

Query: Hi doctor, When I have the fever, can I take Cetirizine in the morning and then Paracetamol in the afternoon? Read Full >>
Answer: Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You mentioned that you have the fever. You can use Paracetamol. You can take it up to three times a day and can stop if your temperature comes down. Now, coming to Cetirizine, it is used for allergy, cold, etc. If you are having a flu type of fever, that is, fever with... Read Full
