MPs are claiming hundreds of thousands of pounds in expenses for London rents and hotels despite owning properties in the capital, it has been reported.
Channel 4 News said that it had identified 46 MPs who claimed rent or hotel bills even though they had properties in London at a cost to the taxpayer more than £1.3 million since 2012.
The programme said that many of the MPs involved had originally bought the properties under the old expenses system when they were allowed to claim mortgage payments on second homes.
But after mortgage claims were banned following the MPs' expenses scandal they switched to letting out their London properties and started claiming expenses for rent and hotels.
The programme said that the MPs were doing nothing wrong under the rules set by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), which now runs the expenses system.
Some MPs were said to have argued that the new rules banning mortgage claims meant they had been forced to let out their second home in order to be able to afford the mortgage and other costs.
But Sir Alistair Graham, a former chairman of the Committee for Standards in Public Life, warned that it would be seen by the public as another example of MPs "on the make".
"It's not always just about exactly what the rules say. It is about you taking personal responsibility that public funds are used in a proper and appropriate way that your constituents would be comfortable with," he told the programme.
"I'm sure we will hear all sorts of sob stories about why it's justifiable to do what they've done.
"But they must know in their heart of hearts that the public will see this as MPs on the make."

“In high school I looked like a cross between Tootsie and Jon Bon Jovi. I was Harold Bishop with a perm. When I appeared on the first episode of Mamamia on Sky News I looked like a giant tangerine wearing glasses and a wig. Think of me as Paula Joye’s badly dressed sister. My skin is so pale I’m like the missing cast member from Twilight. I used to think I looked like Kate Winslet. Now I look like I ate Kate Winslet.”
In the past week, these are just some of the statements I’ve made – several times in fact – about my looks. Funny? They were meant to be. But in reality, when I look at them, they’re not funny. They’re actually a bit sad.
So this week when I read a column on News Taco about women bonding by complaining about their looks, well it struck a nerve.

A model of the evolution of the Indian Ocean that has been under development for
many years has now been published. The digital version was released on February
27 under doi number http://doi.org/10.1144/SP431.12
with the title Insight into
the Eastern Margin of Africa from a New Tectonic Model of the Indian Ocean.
contribution is part of Geological Society Special Publication No. 431:
Transform Margins: Development, Controls and Petroleum Systems
(eds Nemčok, M.,

The paper addresses (a) a Gondwana reassembly refining earlier publications and
(b) a dispersal model based largely on ocean fracture zones, focusing on the
relative motions of Antarctica against Africa and India against Antarctica. A
new examination of the movements of Madagascar against Africa then leads to a
closure of the plate circuit between Madagascar and India with the least
invention of unsubstantiated movements between these two fragments and the
intervening Seychelles and the Mascarene fragments. An animation of the model
is to be found under the 'Gondwana' tab at the top of this webpage. The Euler
rotation parameters that define the model are published in this paper for the
first time. A rotation file for use with CPSL 'Atlas' software is available

Every year, since he arrived at Washington, head coach Tyrone Willingham and his staff have brought…
Visit to Washington opens Beckles' eyes
"I sat there and talked with coach (Tyrone) Willingham for a while and we talked about recruiting, my senior season and what he's trying to build at Washington. It was great."
Beckles and the other prospects on campus this weekend were also treated to a view of Lake Washington from atop Husky Stadium.
"It was pretty freaky up there, but it wasn't bad," Beckles said with a chuckle. "It wasn't scary because of the height, but it was kinda shaky up there.
"The Blue Angels flew right over us and we watched them for a long time and that was really cool."
Besides the meeting with Willingham, Beckles also had a conversation with defensive line coach Randy Hart.
"Honestly, I'd say that was the highlight of my visit," Beckles admitted. "He was pretty energetic and we talked about what I would be playing if I ended up coming to Washington and he just went over some of the schemes they are going to use this season and what I could expect to be asked to do.
"It was cool just talking with him because he's the coach I'd be spending the most time with, so getting to know him is really important."
With his visit to Washington out of the way, Beckles noted he might take another unofficial visit to another one of his favorites, but he's unsure which one that will be.
"I'm real focused on my senior season, but I also have to keep an eye on the future," Beckles said. "Washington told me they want to see my first few games before they offer and I'm OK with that because you just have to be patient sometimes.
"I know I can really succeed at the next level. I just have to prove it to them and pretty much all of the other schools looking at me have told me they want to see my film from my senior year before they will do anything."
Beckles and his teammates begin two-a-days on August 18th.

- Argentina’s gross domestic product fell 4.2% in the second quarter from a year earlier.
- Argentina was hit by a severe drought that has weighed on exports.
- The government is pursuing austerity measures to shore up public financing.
Argentina’s economy contracted sharply in the second quarter after a severe drought roiled agricultural production and as the country works with the International Monetary Fund to stem a spiraling economic crisis.
Gross domestic product fell 4.2% between April and June from a year earlier, the national statistics agency said in a report, marking its first contraction in more than a year. One of the worst droughts in years helped drive a steep decline in exports from the country, a top seller of soy and corn in the world market.
“The economy will contract further in upcoming months amid tightening monetary and fiscal conditions, though the expected rebound in agricultural output will prevent a deeper contraction,” the ratings agency Moody’s said in a statement.
President Mauricio Macri asked the International Monetary Fund last month to speed up payments that are part of a historic bailout deal reached in June. The IMF has so far extended $15 billion to the country and was expected to disburse an additional $3 billion in September.
Also on Wednesday, the Economy Ministry said Argentina’s primary fiscal deficit stood at $551 million in August, down about 58% from the same month last year.
Argentina has been pursuing sweeping austerity measures in efforts to shore up public finances. President Mauricio Macri and Finance Minister Nicolas Dujovne rolled out a series of economic reforms earlier this month, including stiff spending cuts and export tax increases.
The central bank raised its benchmark interest rate to 60% in August after the peso, which has shed about half of its value this year and is the worst-performing currency of 2018, continued to sell off.

Employees fill out Form W-4, formally titled “Employee’s Withholding Certificate,” upon being hired to inform employers of how much tax to withhold from each paycheck. The employer uses the W-4 to calculate certain payroll taxes, and remits the taxes to the IRS and the state on the employee’s behalf.
As a result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act passed in 2017, the IRS has a new W-4 form for the 2020 tax year. It is important to note that you do not have to fill out the new W-4 form if you already have one on file with your employer, nor do you have to fill out a new W-4 every year.
But if you change jobs in 2020, or want to adjust your withholdings at your existing job, you’ll need to fill out the new W-4. Either way, it’s a great excuse to review your withholdings.
The W-4 form also comes with a couple of worksheets that will help you figure out your withholdings, but here are a few tips:
1. The 2020 version of form W-4 does away with asking people to choose a number of allowances. Instead, you provide certain dollar estimates for the payroll system to use. While this is “simpler” and reflects the elimination of allowances in calculating tax, it does take some getting used to, especially if you are one of those individuals that liked to over withhold taxes in order to avoid owing or get a larger tax return.
- If you’re single and have multiple jobs or you’re married, filing jointly and both work, remember these things:
- You typically have to have a W-4 on file for each job.
- For the highest paying job’s W-4, fill out steps 2 to 4(b) of the W-4. Leave those steps blank on the W-4s for the other jobs.
2. If you’re married and filing jointly, and you both earn about the same amount, you can check a checkbox indicating as much. The trick: Both spouses need to do that on each of their W-4s.
3. If you are exempt from withholding, write “exempt” in the space below step 4(c). You still need to complete steps 1 and 5. Also, you’ll need to submit a new W-4 every year if you plan to keep claiming exemption from withholding.
4. On the 2020 W-4, you can select the Head of Household filing status. That wasn’t an option on the 2019 W-4. If you file as head of household, you may want to consider filling out the 2020 W-4 if you want the amount of taxes withheld from your pay to more accurately align with your tax liability.
5. If you don’t want to reveal to your employer that you have a second job, or you don’t want to reveal to your employer that you get income from other non-job sources, you have a few options:
- On line 4(c), instruct your employer to withhold an extra amount of tax from your paycheck.
- Don’t factor the extra income into your W-4. Instead of having the tax come directly out of your paycheck, send estimated quarterly tax payments to the IRS yourself instead.
Finally, all this discussion has been focused on the Federal W-4, as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act only concerned Federal taxation. While you take the time to review your Federal Withholding it is always a good time to review your State withholding as well (if you are subject to state income tax).
Check with your employer to complete a new W-4 or find the 2020 W-4 form at www.IRS.gov/W4.

December 1, 2004
Today the Globe and Mail (G&M) posted the following poll online: “In your opinion, is the Netherlands on the right track in allowing medical teams and parents to jointly decide to end the lives of terminally ill newborns?”
The significance of this poll is very serious.
It is not because of what is happening in Holland: Holland “slippery slope” of moral judgment is already on a “vertical fall”.
It is not because of the G&M is even asking the question: The media will do anything to foment the destructionist side of society. Their relativistic approach gives more importance to today’s poll than to the commandments of a four thousand year old Judeo-Christian tradition that says: “Do not kill”.
It is not even because over 75% of the respondents are in FAVOUR of killing newborns: The G&M readership is already sold on a culture of death based on a "made in Canada morality".
The significance is that the term “terminally ill” is used to semantically infiltrate the thought of ordinary people. A more complete wording for the proposed Dutch legislation: “ending the life of infants with incurable diseases and extreme deformities when there is no prospect for improvement and parents think it is best” better illustrates the issue.
There is no doubt in my mind that this legislation, if it came to pass in Holland, would eventually be used to kill all infants who are "unwanted." Do not think that I am exaggerating: it has already happened with abortion in Canada: After a legislation was introduced in the seventies to “terminate pregnancies which threatened the life or health of the mother, when a committee of doctors deems the procedure required,” in the eighties Canada was left without any protection for the unborn whatsoever, at any stage of development.
The current issue in Holland is ”whether or not to kill babies born with deformities”. The G&M makes it an even broader issue: Whether a legal license can be issued in Canada to kill anyone if, in the opinion of someone else, his/her life is not worth living because of “terminal illness”.
The advocates for the handicapped against euthanasia know how wide-ranging and adaptable the term “terminally ill” is: It has never been medically defined; Its time frame is open-ended; Its causes include natural causes; It could be interpreted to include all of us, as all of us are destined to die for one reason or another within a certain time frame!
In the abortion and redefinition of marriage issues, common terms, such as “choice” and “gay” became the battleground. Now “terminally” meaning “within a certain time frame” is conveying the image of a negative, unbearable “condition”, not a sickness (the word “condition” itself is now used to mean a health problem).
Babies with deformities, including simple correctable ones, are the current target. Unwanted babies is the next target (Legislation for this purpose has already been advocated in France). Seniors, handicapped and mentally unstable will be following, in the queue to the killing mill.
It is not difficult to imagine Christians, the defenders of a “higher authority", the politically incorrect and the undesirable next, until the “eugenics” secular humanistic philosophy would have prevailed.
The “terminally ill" semantics epitomizes and defines one side of the culture war: the culture of death.
Canadians do not seem able to recognize the terms of engagement, mostly because no-one in the media and in public life can, or has the courage to speak out.

- Cracking the Code to Gaming Influence Jason Falls 35:14
We’ve had a couple of episodes and conversations in the past that talk about gamers. The online video game industry is worth billions of dollars. Its content creators have some of the most captive audiences in any medium. Twitch is one of the biggest and most impactful social networks and it is dominated by video gamers who live stream themselves playing video games.
And yet, this behemoth of a segment is still a mystery to most of us in the influence marketing space. Some consumer brands have played on Twitch and sponsored various gamers to some degree of success. But the businesses and agencies that succeed with the gaming segment are almost always the video game companies themselves.
It’s like gaming is some sort of nerd herd stratosphere few of us are able to find entry to.
Emilee Helm is the Head of Influencers for a company called Gamesight. It is an agency that focuses on helping video games and their parent companies market their products. And tapping into influencers is a big portion of what they do.
But Gamesight does more than that. It monitors and ranks top Twitch channels, as one example. In fact, data is one of the company’s leading propositions. They track and measure things I’m not quite sure can be measured adequately. Imagine my delight when Emilee agreed to come on the show.
On this episode of Winfluence, Emilee and I are going to dive into this cryptic world of gaming and gaming influencers, learn about what Gamesight has that other agencies and influencer marketing firms don’t, and see what doors open to that world, plus which ones we can kick open wider by taking some of that expertise and applying it to our brands and campaigns.

Rampo's The Black Lizard & Beast in the Shadows published in Spanish
Rampo in Spanish!
Kurodahan is delighted to announce that Ediciones Jaguar has published our first Edogawa Rampo book, The Black Lizard & Beast in the Shadows, in Spanish! After several months of discussions, the book has been translated by Beatriz Salán Salán and published as La Lagartija Negra y La bestia entre las sombras.
There is already a Spanish edition of Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination, first translated into English by Rampo and James Harris, but the language barrier made it difficult for anything else by Rampo to be published in Spanish because of difficulty in translating directly from the Japanese.
Our English version evaded that problem neatly, and the same firm is now reading an ARC (that's publishing lingo: Advance Review Copy) of The Rampo Reader with an eye toward a similar Spanish edition.
A publisher in Hungary is also considering translating The Black Lizard & Beast in the Shadows from our English, with discussions under way now through our rights agent, Evelyn Kagey Lee of Amer-Asia Books, Inc.

Singapore – The Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), Chee Soon Juan took a moment to explain the reason for why there are so many foreign bus drivers in Singapore and said that one reason is the low wages that Malaysians could survive on.
On Wednesday (Mar 18), Dr Chee pointed out on social media the reason behind the number of foreign bus drivers in Singapore in response to Malaysia’s movement control order.
“The fact that so many hapless Malaysian’s crossing the causeway to beat the deadline of their country’s lockdown is unfortunate,” wrote Dr Chee on his Facebook profile. “But spare a thought, too, for our own workers,” he added.
According to Dr Chee, there are approximately 300,000 workers from Malaysia earning a living in Singapore. He used the example of bus drivers to expound further.
“Why are there so many foreign bus drivers in Singapore?” he asked. “One reason is the low wages that Malaysians can survive on that we can’t,” answered Dr Chee.
He compared the monthly wage levels of bus drivers among different countries which placed Singapore’s figure (S$1,800) quite low in contrast to Denmark’s (S$6,193), Finland’s (S$3,910), Norway’s (S$6,260) or Sweden’s (S$4,480) wage levels.
“Our GDP per capita is similar to these four Scandinavian countries,” Dr Chee pointed out. “These economies are one of the most expensive in the world. But then, so is Singapore’s,” he added.
Dr Chee included photos of bus drivers, cleaners, construction workers in the mentioned Scandinavian countries and noted that they “don’t import en masse cheap labour from India, PRC, and Malaysia.”
He explained that the economy could sustain such wage levels because higher wages for Singaporean workers “mean better spending power which benefits local businesses” as a result.
Dr Chee considered the arguments of others such as Singaporeans shunning these jobs or that those countries have high taxes hence the capacity to pay higher wages.
“If the pay and conditions are good, I see no reason why our people, like the Scandinavians, would not take on such employment,” Dr Chee commented. Furthermore, we also have high taxes, he said. “They just come in different guises.”
Dr Chee admitted that the present arrangement in Singapore is slowly choking the life out of people. “It is not sustainable.” Mental health problems, work-related stress and financial burdens are some of the issues that “plague Singaporeans.”
Meanwhile, the Nordic societies, although not perfect, rank as the happiest people in the world, survey after survey, noted Dr Chee.
He assured the public that the SDP would be pushing this and other similar issues at the next elections. “They must get a full airing and intense national attention because the Covid-19 outbreak will come and go, but these matters will remain and continue to be the yoke around our necks if we are not careful and get distracted.”
Many from the online community agreed with Dr Chee and confirmed that if the wages in Singapore were on the same range as the other countries, they would gladly take the job.
Shaf Abd shared a conversation with a bus driver in Sydney who was able to travel around the world. “All that on a bus driver’s salary. I was floored!”
Another netizen illustrated the present situation wherein the left hand receives a salary while the right hand gives it away in bills.
Tan Boon Han asked Dr Chee what the opposition party leader deems as fair wage for bus drivers. Dr Chee replied with a definition of “enough” for senior citizens, middle-class and lower-income households.
The fact that so many hapless M’sians crossing the causeway to beat the deadline of their country’s lockdown is…

Just before Hilary term comes crashing down on us like a ton of disillusioned first years, we get our first glimpse at the comedic salvation that will be on offer for our weary and work-worn selves in later weeks. The first Audrey of term offered sketches, stand-up and songs, and if you missed your chance this time, fortuitously we are able to give you all the inside information, as well as hints of what to expect at later Audreys and in one-off shows from the Revue.
There are plenty of familiar faces, with Georgia Bruce, Will Hislop, David Meredith, Jack Chisnall and Barney Fishwick putting in predictably strong performances, but their contributions are balanced by other equally capable comics at varying stages of their careers, from seasoned performers to relative newcomers.
The sketch comedy is, on the whole, stronger than the stand up, and provokes bigger laughs from the audience. This might be in part due to the change of venue to the Old Fire Station, where the more theatrical atmosphere gels more easily with the sketch comedy that is the Revue’s forte . This isn’t to say there aren’t some great solo performances – I can’t truthfully find fault with anyone who, as George McGoldrick does, tells me a whimsical, Gruffalo-inspired story about the deep web – but what’s notable about the successes is the ways in which they push the limits of what you might expect from traditional stand up, one example being Alex Fox’s guffaw-inducing piece about a dysfunctional upper class family in which he plays, well, everyone. As well as offering us something new, these examples also seem to fit with more ease into the Audrey format, possibly due to their more sketch-like, less traditional, nature.
The show is almost exclusively new material, which, whilst conceivably disappointing for anyone who has a favourite sketch, must overall be seen as a massive point in the Revue’s favour, as it demonstrates that comedic invention is in far from short supply. There’s also something for every sense of humour, ranging from the surreal, to the observational, to the satirical – there’s a fantastic #notallmen sketch which earned some enthusiastic woops from women in the audience.
As far as I could tell from my subjective experience of events, the audience seemed to be having a wonderful time, everyone finding this early offering from Oxford’s comedians as side-splittingly enjoyable as their previous endeavours.
Based on the initial signs, the comedy forecast for Hilary term looks exceptionally good – great news in this most grey and miserable of academic seasons – and if you haven’t had the chance to experience the Revue in action before, I’d definitely recommend it, although make sure to get in early – there weren’t any tickets available on the door at the point I arrived, and people were being turned away.
Historically, the Footlights might have had more of the fame, but with the talent of the current Revue members, I honestly would not be surprised if that were to change some time in the near future.

Now is the time to ask our candidates the hard questions. Will Marco Rubio or Charlie Crist work for a total ban on trade with communist China? If not, will they work to remove all bans on trade with communist Cuba? Both countries are communist dictatorships, both stole property from legitimate businessmen, both enslave their people. How is it OK to trade with one and not the other? Martin I. Hyman, Delray Beach

A country is in deep trouble when its most valuable export product is its money. Even more so, when its major customer is one that is antagonistic to its agenda of global democracy and human rights. So it is today with the United States, the U.S. dollar and the People's Republic of China. Erik H. Schot, Lauderdale by the Sea
July 5, 2010
Two words you seldom see or hear in the global media or discussed are sacrifice and pragmatism. Sacrifice is the need to give something up so one can achieve an important need or goal. Pragmatism is the common sense tool to take the wisest and best decision, weighing all options toward picking the best result. I choose these two words because they symbolize what is not happening now in our turmoil-ridden world. In the whole world, including our own country, every day the news is filled with riots and frenzy, with demonstrations against governments and institutions, which are trying to bring balance to their economies so they can survive with less money to pay their bills and avoid potential bankruptcy.

As someone who quotes Thomas Friedman frequently to friends and family, I couldn't agree more with his column of Dec. 9, "U.S. needs plan to make a difference. " The worst of it is that if the current problems are not corrected, and very soon, then 15 to 20 years down the road, this country may be looking at a situation where there is an even greater divide between the wealthy and the less wealthy. What then? Revolution, or a scenario like Haiti where too many people carry guns and will use them against anyone who dares to disagree with them?

First, President Obama lends a half of a billion dollars to Solendra Solar Company, and, if they fail, the stock holders collect first. Second, our credit rating has dropped another notch. Finally, Egypt declared war by attacking our embassy, and President Morsi is now giving advice to President Obama on television in our country. It sounds to me like the Obama doctrine is leading us to become a third world country. William Shelley, Delray Beach

A man can go missing in New York City. A life can disappear. Teeth can sharpen, skin go pale, eyes reject the sun. One day, youíre human. The next, youíre a vampire, with an undying taste for blood. Set in the New York of prostitutes, junkies, and lonely hearts, Bottomfeeder tells the story of Philip, a smart-ass in a dead-end job, whose life takes an unusual turn after he tangles with a vampire. Now, spurred by a bloodlust stronger than his humanity, he haunts the abandoned streets alone, trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy while looking for prey.

BJP sweeps Maharashtra, trails Sena in Mumbai
surender gupta dunar Boost for Fadnavis as party wins 8 out of 10 municipalities
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) continued its political dominance in Maharashtra with resounding electoral victories in key municipalities and zilla parishads across the State. It won eight of the 10 municipal elections that were held on February 21. The Shiv Sena, its erstwhile ally, won in Mumbai and Thane.
In the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), it was a close call, with the Sena winning 84 out of the 227 seats and the BJP 82. In Thane, the Sena won 67 of the 131 seats, while the BJP won only 23, fewer than the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), which bagged 34 seats.
In eight other municipal zones, the BJP swept the elections, giving Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis a major image boost as well as an upper hand against the Sena, a party that is a part of the government. For the municipal elections, the Sena had broken the alliance and dared the BJP to go it alone.
In Pune, the BJP won 98 of the 162 seats, with the NCP coming a distant second with 40 seats and the Sena bagging a mere 10. In Nagpur, Mr. Fadnavis’ home town, the BJP won 108 of the 151 seats, leaving the Congress way behind with 29 seats. In Nashik, where Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had won in the 2012 elections, the BJP won 67 of the 122 seats. The MNS was decimated, with just five seats.

Our trip to Baltimore was visually very stimulating to say the least. First we viewed many suzanies. Suzani comes from the Persian word for "needle," and the word refers to embroidered hangings or fabric coverings, generally a meter and a half wide (4-5') but sometimes much more.We are considering these zusanies for inclusion in the exhibit at the Redding Gallery. This will also include the work done in collaboration with other WCA members nation wide in the "Women helping Women one stitch at a time." These suzanies are made by many different women working on the same piece over, sometimes, a number of years. The motifs are traditional Afghan. Will be hard deciding which ones to include
Visual Artist collects the discarded, worn out, or broken reclaimed objects to arrange and assemble them into a new and original piece of eco friendly art.

"Who is Silvia? what is she?" asks the song in Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona. For at least 300 years, people have been asking the same set of questions about Shakespeare. The desire to understand this poet and playwright, born in 1564, began with the first scholarly edition of his works, published in 1709. New editions, performances, adaptations, and memorabilia appear every year.
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Shakespeare's plays enjoyed a revival on stage that has not ceased. At the same time, antiquarians scoured the archives to find any new bits of information about Shakespeare. Others were not shy about forging documents, so eager was the public for anything "new."
General admiration for Shakespeare spilled over into popular culture then and now: artists have depicted his characters and Shakespeare himself; composers have interpreted his writings in music; actors have defined and redefined his roles; and the rage for Shakespeare has led to a multitude of celebratory objects from tea caddies and dolls to statues and artists' books.
For this exhibition, we asked members of the Folger staff to propose some of their favorite Shakespeare things in the collection, which we then arranged in four sections: Fixating on Shakespeare; Printing Shakespeare; Performing Shakespeare; and Depicting Shakespeare. Discover how we are still celebrating Shakespeare 450 years after his birth.

by Amy Wang The Oregonian/OregonLive, February 04, 2022
It takes just a few minutes to read a picture book — but it can take years, from original idea to final publication, to bring one into the world.
So when the pandemic shut down bookstore readings, library storytimes and school visits, the authors whose picture books came out after March 2020 found their new releases suddenly wandering in a void.
Stephanie Shaw, a children’s author in Oregon, told The Oregonian/OregonLive, “Publishers generously allowed teachers to read books to virtual classrooms. Some authors provided Zoom events. But the first really falls short of having direct contact with students. And, bookstores who offered Zoom events soon discovered that kids were screen fatigued and unlikely to tune in.”
Many bookstores are still holding off on in-person events, especially for children younger than 5, who can’t yet receive COVID-19 vaccines. Ditto for libraries.
So here’s a look at 10 new and recent picture books [Ed note: We’ve excerpted; click here for the full article] by Oregon authors and illustrators that you might have missed.
Amah Faraway by Margaret Chiu Greanias [illustrated by Tracy Subisak]
This picture book will resonate for any family with distant loved ones. When California-raised Kylie and her mom visit Grandma (Amah) in Taiwan, Kylie is initially not sure at all about the unfamiliar foods and customs she encounters there. Portland illustrator Tracy Subisak’s watercolors are perfectly evocative of Taipei, Taiwan’s capital city.
Can a Rock Grow? by Audrey Sauble
Oregon author-illustrator Audrey Sauble began writing science and nature picture books to answer her daughter’s questions. Her latest offers a fun introduction to geology by examining natural forces that act upon rocks as well as the various types of rocks. Clear, detailed illustrations complement the text. (Inside tip: Look for the snail hidden on every page.)
Friends Are Friends, Forever by Dane Liu [illustrated by Lynn Scurfield]
Two Lunar New Year celebrations, thousands of miles apart, bookend Portland author Dane Liu’s autobiographical tale of a girl who must say goodbye to her best friend in China and then copes with loneliness in the United States before finally making a new friend. Lynn Scurfield’s dynamic illustrations capture the energy of childhood.
Lucy’s Blooms by Dawn Babb Prochovnic [illustrated byAlice Brereton]
In this grandmother-granddaughter story from Portland author Dawn Babb Prochovnic, little Lucy takes up gardening with relish, eager to win a flower contest. When the judges see her precious plants differently than she does, she wilts — but only for a moment. Alice Brereton provides delightfully vivid and expressive illustrations.

Stevie Wonder returns to Motown for street dedication
Over 400 Detroiters and local leaders attended a ceremony to rename Milwaukee Avenue to Stevie Wonder Boulevard
Motown legend Stevie Wonder addressed a crowd of more than 400 Detroiters, many of whom waited hours to see him in 25-degree weather, by doing what he does best.
“You are the sunshine of my life,” he cooed into the mic. “You are the apple of my eye, Detroit. Forever you’ll stay in my heart.”
Then he paused.
“I just wanted you to know I can still sing,” he said, laughing.
Wonder, 66, returned to Motown Wednesday afternoon for a ceremony that renamed Milwaukee Avenue — where Wonder grew up in Detroit after moving from Saginaw — to Stevie Wonder Avenue.
During the event, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, City Council President Brenda Jones, Motown Museum CEO Robin Terry and others made remarks honoring the singer. The Cass Technical High School marching band and Detroit School of Arts choir also performed several of Wonder’s greatest hits, such as “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” “Isn’t She Lovely” and “Sir Duke.”
The event was very much a hometown celebration for Wonder whose career took off after Berry Gordy Jr. signed him to Motown Records at age 11. Many of his early songs were recorded at Hitsville U.S.A., less than a mile from the newly installed street sign at Milwaukee and Woodward.
In a question-and-answer session with the media, Wonder reminisced about growing up in the area.
“I remember my brother Calvin and I walking on the street eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, (and) me trying to steal cookies when I was supposed to be asleep,” he said, wearing his signature black glasses that matched his black hat.
The Detroit City Council passed the resolution for the secondary street sign in November 2015, but organizers waited to host the event to accommodate Wonder’s schedule and officially announced the unveiling last week.
Organizers planned for about 200 people to attend, but hundreds more showed up, forcing organizers to tear down a tent wall in a College for Creative Studies parking lot and delay the event by an hour.
In her speech, Jones, who sponsored the street renaming resolution, said she hopes visitors will see Stevie Wonder Avenue and reflect on all the contributions Wonder has made, not just to Detroit, but the world.
“This street naming is a fitting tribute to an artist whose music has inspired generations, raised our consciousness and put the expression of love into words,” Jones said.
Taking the mic and turning to Wonder, Duggan told the singer: “You are Detroit.”
“You embody everything that we’re capable of, and Stevie Wonder Avenue is a way of saying thank you to all you have given us, but it’s also our way of reminding our children ... that this street was once home to a talented young man just like them whose music changed the world.”
Wonder was visibly moved by the Detroiters, family members, local leaders and fans — some waving his album records and wearing glasses in the shape of music notes —who braved the biting cold to attend the street unveiling.
“This is just an amazing moment,” Wonder said. “I know that things can’t last forever, but you know what, I’m going to freeze this moment in my mind. I’m going to remember it forever.”
Waterford resident Terrance Couch, 58, was one of the first to arrive at 8 a.m. in the tent at Baltimore and Cass. Couch listened to Wonder’s music growing up and said he couldn’t miss the opportunity to see a street named after an icon.
“I’ve heard people say what has he done for Detroit, but it’s not about what he’s done for Detroit,” Couch said. “He was born in Michigan and he’s contributed music to help a lot of people in Michigan.”
Colleen Murphy, 58, of Walled Lake came with her neighbor, Kelley Beck, 42. The two Wonder fans named “Superstition” as their favorite song and said the weather wasn’t about to stop them from seeing the legend in person.
“Thirty degrees is a lot better than when it was at 9 on Saturday,” Murphy said. “We thought ‘OK, we can handle this.’ ”
After the remarks, the Cass Tech High School Marching band led the procession to the northeast corner of Milwaukee and Woodward, where Wonder pulled a rope to uncover the newly installed sign.
As bystanders cheered and red and white balloons floated into the air, Wonder shouted, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Wonder’s cousin Sharon DuMas of Detroit chaired the Stevie Wonder Tribute Committee to name the street after Wonder and presented him with red roses.
In an interview before the ceremony, she said she was thrilled other family members like Wonder’s brother, Calvin Hardaway, and aunt (her mother) were able to attend.
“It’s so important that we give flowers while we live. That was one of the reasons we wanted to make sure that we did this,” she said, adding that the city missed a chance to honor other Motown alumni like Michael Jackson.
While Stevie Wonder Avenue was her main goal, DuMas said there’s one more step: The committee wants to open a Stevie Wonder Youth Center for Music and Fine Arts in Detroit.
“We don’t have all the plans in place,” she said. “We’re going to talk to Stevie about it while he’s here.”
This is the first street named after Wonder, but just one of his many awards and honors. Wonder has an Academy Award, Golden Globe and 25 Grammy Awards to his name. He’s sold more than 100 million records and has 32 No. 1 singles. In 1989, he was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
President Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, in 2014. He’s also a designated United Nations Messenger of Peace and is recognized for helping to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday, which Duggan acknowledged.
“You advocated for peace and pushed a badly divided nation to come together and honor a man who made justice his life’s mission, Dr. Martin Luther King,” Duggan said. “You changed history, and you did it getting your start right here in Detroit.”
To give back to the city, Wonder announced that he plans to bring his annual House Full of Toys benefit concert to Detroit next year. The fundraiser, typically held in Los Angeles, features several artists and asks concertgoers to donate new toys for children.
After the unveiling, Wonder expressed how touched he felt by Wednesday’s events.
“I guess I can’t say I’m lost for words because I know what I feel, but I don’t know if what I’m going to say will match how deeply I feel this,” he said, speaking to the media. “And that is that I love you all. I love you with my life. I love you with my heart. You are the fuel that make this engine go. You are the joy that creates this smile. You are the yes we can. Yes I can. You truly are the sunshine of my life.”

Intolerance of ORX-AB mice to environmental chilling We next analyzed a different type of activation that induces thermogenesis. Mice with indwelling telemeters had been placed into a chilly (5C) environment.

Specifically, in three ORX-AB mice, stomach temperature rapidly dropped and reached the endpoint of 30C within 50C150 min of cool publicity.

Activation of hypothalamic neurons by PGE2 and cool exposure We following examined if the orexin neurons and various other hypothalamic neurons had been activated with the intracerebroventricular administration of PGE2 or by cool exposure.

Furthermore, we utilized ORX-KO;ORX-GFP mice (see Pets section for details). ORX-KO;ORX-GFP mice usually do not produce orexin-A and -B but efficiently and exclusively express GFP in orexin neurons. Inside our primary study, actually, an ORX-KO heterozygous mouse which transported the ORX-GFP transgene portrayed GFP in 80% of orexin-immunopositive cells, as well as the ectopic appearance of GFP was under no circumstances noticed, as was the case in WT;ORX-GFP mice (Yamanaka and 0.05).
