Edward Peters, the canon lawyer who has suggested that Governor Cuomo be denied communion, responded to my post in which I restated my long-standing position that using Canon 915 to deny politicians communion is horrible theology. Furthermore, I argued that the canons of the Church exist to further the Church’s objective of saving souls, that the Church has many instruments and methods to accomplish that goal, and that many of us think that heavy-handed reliance on canonical penalties is actually a great cause of scandal and harms the Church as well as the potential for helping the person who is denied communion. To be clear: Edwards’ post is very thoughtful and intelligent and he makes the best case that can be made for his interpretation of how Canon 915 should be applied. But, he avoids addressing the point I made.
Canon lawyer Edward Peters has responded to my post earlier today about the brouhaha he has begun regarding the fitness of the Governor of New York to present himself for communion.
Alas, at the moment I discovered his reply, I thought it my obligation to post it, not just leave it in a comment, which I have now done. At that same moment, a stiff breeze came through the window, reminding me that I am on holiday, that just outside the window are at least eight shades of turqoise water crashing against the unbelievably soft sand of Luqillo beach, and that as I am just finishing a very delicious but very large margarita, I had best respond tomorrow.
I will say this for the moment. Mr. Peters has rendered a thoughtful reply and those who are interested in this subject should read it - before margarita time. I promise to do so this weekend and reply with a thoughtful reply, if not tomorrow, soon.
John Gehring, of Faith in Public Life, looks at an essay by Professor Gerald Breyer of St. Joseph's University, on the union busting tactics in Wisconsin.
Edward Peters has started a brouhaha by suggesting that Gov. Cuomo should not be given communion because he lives with a woman to whom he is not married. The diocese of Albany has replied, pointing out why it does not interpret the canons as Mr. Peters does and he has replied to the diocese.
Our friends at Vox Nova look at the union-busting in Wisconsin through the lens of Laborem Exercens. Towards the end of his life, Pope John Paul II was asked which of his three social encyclicals was his favorite and he cited Laborem, his first, as his favorite. It is mine too. One wishes that there was a single Catholic Republican in the Wisconsin legislature who would read it and think twice before continuing with the assault on workers rights.
My friend Mark Silk posts about how his students at Trintiy College reacted to former Senator Rick Santorum's recent remarks about the Crusades.
There is, of course, room for disagreement about many things in public life and, indeed, about interpreting history. But, putting a smiley face on the Crusades is not a serious intellectual project. It is an embarrassment.
Don't miss Adam Kirsch's review of Timothy Beal's "The Rise and Fall of the Bible: The Unexpected History of an Accidental Book." The different uses to which the Bible is put - prehaps better to say subjected - is a subject that defines so much of American culture. This goes on the Must-Read column.
Congressman Keith Ellison is so far to the left of me, it hurts my neck to turn in his direction. But, according to Politico, the liberal congressman from Minnesota has called on President Obama to come to Wisconsin and stand with the workers.
I agree entirely and for two, somewhat contradictory, reasons. First, you know and I know and Richard Trumka knows that some of those protesters voted Republican last autumn. How did that work out for you guys? Second, as I never tire of saying until I am blue in the face, only when the Democrats reclaim their status as the unabashed defender of the working class will they return to majority status. Too busy pussy-footing with their friends at Goldman-Sachs, the national Dems have sold the working class down the river with bad trade deals, bad tax policies, and attacks on their cultural values. President Obama has found in the Tea Party and their over-reaching members a perfect foil to shape the debate back towards a Rooseveltian dynamic. Shame on him if he fails to take the opportunity.
Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good has issued a press release praising Bishop Stephen Blaire, chair of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development for his endorsement of labor rights and the stance taken by the Wisconsin bishops in the face if an unprecedented attack on a right the Church has recognized since at least 1891.
Here is the release from CACG:
Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good
Affirming Catholic Moral Insistence for Unions and Collective Bargaining
Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good endorses the statements by Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki of Milwaukee and Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, California, on the rights of workers to unionize and bargain collectively. For Catholic teachings as expressed in papal encyclicals from Rerum novarum in 1891 through Pope Benedict XVI's recently released encyclical, Caritas in veritate, unionization and collective bargaining are required elements of a moral economic or political order.
Just arrived at the condo we are renting in Puerto Rico and – voila – there is wifi! So, while I was in transit and enjoying a late lunch looking out over the turquoise waters of Luquillo Beach, Bishop Stephen Blaire, Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, was issuing a statement supporting the stance taken by the Wisconsin bishops in favor of the right of workers to unionize and bargain collectively. That right has been under attack by Wisconsin’s new governor. Bishop Blaire’s letter took the form of a letter to the chairman of the Wisconsin Catholic Conference, Archbishop Jerome Listecki. The text follows:

When it comes to Italian cuisine, few dishes are as beloved as minestrone soup. With its hearty combination of vegetables, beans, and pasta, it’s a comfort food favorite for many. Olive Garden, known for its authentic Italian fare, offers a delicious and fresh take on this classic dish with their Olive Garden Minestrone Soup. In this article, we will explore the farm-to-bowl journey of Olive Garden’s minestrone soup and discover what makes it so special.
The Freshest Ingredients
One of the key factors that sets Olive Garden’s Minestrone Soup apart is the use of fresh ingredients. From farm to bowl, every vegetable is carefully selected to ensure optimal flavor and quality. The soup features a medley of seasonal vegetables like carrots, celery, zucchini, and green beans that are sourced from local farms whenever possible.
Olive Garden prides itself on using only the freshest produce available in their dishes. This commitment to quality is evident in every spoonful of their minestrone soup. By using fresh ingredients, they are able to capture the vibrant flavors and textures that make this classic Italian soup so appealing.
A Flavorful Broth
The base of any good minestrone soup is a flavorful broth that brings all the ingredients together harmoniously. Olive Garden achieves this by simmering their homemade vegetable broth for hours to extract maximum flavor from each ingredient.
The broth is seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices that perfectly complement the vegetables without overpowering them. The result is a rich and savory broth that serves as the foundation for the rest of the soup’s flavors.
Abundance of Goodness
Olive Garden’s Minestrone Soup is not only delicious but also packed with nutritional goodness. This vegetarian-friendly dish provides an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the variety of vegetables and beans it contains.
Carrots, for example, are a great source of vitamin A and antioxidants, while celery adds a crunchy texture and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Zucchini provides a good dose of vitamin C and dietary fiber, while green beans contribute vitamins K and C.
The addition of pasta and beans not only adds heartiness to the soup but also introduces protein and complex carbohydrates. This combination makes Olive Garden’s minestrone soup a well-rounded meal option that satisfies both your taste buds and nutritional needs.
A Soup for All Seasons
While minestrone soup is often associated with colder months, Olive Garden’s version can be enjoyed year-round. The use of seasonal vegetables ensures that the soup is always fresh and flavorful, no matter the time of year.
In the winter months, a warm bowl of minestrone soup provides comfort on chilly evenings. In the summer, it can be served chilled as a refreshing appetizer or light lunch option. The versatility of Olive Garden’s Minestrone Soup makes it an ideal choice for any season or occasion.
In conclusion, Olive Garden Minestrone Soup stands out from the rest due to its commitment to using only the freshest ingredients available. From farm to bowl, every step in the process is carefully executed to deliver a flavorful and nutritious dish that captures the essence of Italian cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a comforting winter meal or a refreshing summer appetizer, this classic Italian soup will not disappoint.

Reuelwrites speaks to the Mad Chinaman himself in an exclusive email interview.
Reviving his legendary show, The Adventures of the Mad Chinaman, the one-night only concert to be performed at the Esplanade Concert Hall on 22 September will see Dick Lee bringing back his sold out show.
Singapore’s favourite singing sensation is a name befitting the music juggernaut known as Dick Lee. Lee first gained regional prominence when his 1989 album The Mad Chinaman achieved platinum status in Singapore. Lee chalked up accolades after accolades since then.
Lee composed songs for Asia’s top singing talents such as Jackie Cheung, Andy Lau, Sammi Cheng, Anita Mui and Stephanie Sun. Lee was also the brains behind the tunes for sellout musicals like Beauty World (1988), Fried Rice Paradise (1991, 2010), Forbidden City (2003) to name a few.
It was also the Cultural Medallion recipient who composed the heart-stirring 1998 National Day Parade song, Home (家) performed by local singer, Kit Chan. The song remains as Singaporeans’ top favourite NDP song of all times, with it being sung most recently by Chan at the SG50 National Day Parade. Lee also composed the songs for the 2015 sold-out show, The LKY Musical starring Adrian Pang and Sharon Au.
The Adventures of the Mad Chinaman was first performed in 2011. The concert performance recounts his incredible musical journey from his childhood in the ‘60s to the debut of his 1989 alter ego, The Mad Chinaman. Reuniting with renowned director Jonathan Lim from the show’s debut staging, the upsized version will be greater and grander than ever before.
Check out my interview with the man himself below. RW
It’s a pleasure to interview you. Before we proceed further, I would like to extend a big CONGRATULATIONS to you for a resoundingly successful The LKY Musical! The music scores were a perfect fit for the musical.
- Dick, we have seen you as a singer, composer, songwriter and even a playwright. You’re a man of many talents. But if you could only choose one ‘talent’, which would you choose and why?
The first three you named are all linked to music, so I’d say music, as its my first love, and my most reliable means of expressing myself.
- Tell me something about you which nobody knows about.
I can’t ride a bicycle.
- The adventures of the Mad Chinaman was first staged in 2011. What has changed since then? What other adventures did the ‘Mad Chinaman’ go through in the past 4 years?
The first production ended in 1990 when I went to Japan, but this year’s show goes further to reveal my exploits in Japan and Hong Kong. I still end the show at around the late nineties so that I have more material for my next run.
- You started this musical journey since the 60s – way before many of us yappies were even born – and came up with the alter-ego ‘The Mad Chinaman’ in 1989. How did the idea of ‘The Mad Chinaman’ came about?
The whole show is about how that came to be, so I suggest you watch the concert to find out. (You can also read my autobiography upon which the show is based). Anyway, the Mad Chinaman is the name of my breakthrough album released in 1989.
- Tell me about one production you were involved in which you felt was the ‘defining moment’ in your career. What was your role in that production?
The release of ‘The Mad Chinaman’ was the turning point in my career. After its success, I was able to go full-time into music (I ran an events company prior to that), and it also launched my career in Asia.
- 40 years is a long time. Were there any moments that you felt unsure about this career path? Where would you be if you haven’t pursue music?
There have been several moments in my career when I was unsure if music was the right choice for me. However, these moments forced me to re-invent myself, and opened up new doors and broadened my experience.
- Finally, what can we expect from this Upsized, musical version of your life story? (raw, personal, intimate, etc)
The 2011 production was very intimate as it was held in a much smaller venue. This time, I need to fill the Esplanade Concert Hall with my songs and story, and I have a nine-piece band to help me with the music. But as for the story-telling part- well, I’ll just have to rely on my personality to pull it off.
Dick Lee The Adventures of the Mad Chinaman Upsized
Esplanade Concert Hall
Opens 3 September 2015 (One day only)
Dick Lee brings back his sold out show which recounts his musical journey from his childhood in the 60s to the debut of his alter-ego The Mad Chinaman in 1989. Illustrating his story with songs from his 40-year career, the UPSIZED version features a band of Singapores top musicians and an extended storyline which includes his adventures in Asia as The Mad Chinaman.
Ticket Pricing: $38 – $78 (Discounts available – visit the web link)

Yesterday Parliament approved a third probe into partygate, this time via the Privileges Committee.
Whilst Starmer and the media are doubtless feeling very smug about this, the wasting of more time debating and investigating what is already being investigated does the people of Britain no good whatsoever.
Those who want to hold the government's feet to the fire should be focussing on a whole host of issues that affect real people including, but not limited to:
- the absurdity of the lockdown/mask rules, and how they caused more harm than good
- the war in Ukraine
- NHS backlog
- law and order
- education etc etc.
These are the issues that our "esteemed" parliamentarians ought to be focussing on, instead of the theatrics of partygate!

“The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is one of the most principled opponents of the Russian invasion, a leader in sanctions on Russia and defence support for Ukraine.
Rename Mayakovsky Street to Boris Johnson Street.”
The news was announced online by a council official who said:
“We have new heroes.”

President's rule better: Paswan
February 24, 2005 21:37 IST
Lok Janshakti Party President Ramvilas Paswan said on Wednesday that imposition of President's rule will be better than the Rashtriya Janata Dal.
Exit polls have projected the LJP as holding the key to government formation in Bihar.
''I have made it clear the LJP will not seek or extend support to either the RJD or the Bharatiya Janata Party-Janata Dal (United) combine. We will rather sit in the Opposition,'' said the Union chemicals and fertilisers minister.
''In the event of the LJP-Congress combine failing to secure a majority, imposition of President's rule in Bihar will be a thousand times better than aiding the RJD, which is responsible for the sorry state of affairs in the state,'' Paswan said.
He said, ''The LJP will not commit the sin of paving the way for return of the corrupt and ineffective RJD regime or back a communal government of the National Democratic Alliance.''

Bianca Bustamante claimed her second win of the season to bring an action-packed weekend of racing at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza to a close.
Starting in P2, the Filipino driver was forced to bide her time early on as Rodin Carlin’s pole-sitter Abbi Pulling got away well off the line and created a gap to the PREMA Racing driver.
Winner of Race 1, Marta García, starting in P4, had a torrid time at the start of the race, losing two places to fall to sixth, before contact with title rival Léna Bühler at the Curva Alboreto left the Spaniard at the back of the grid with MP Motorsport’s Emely de Heus.
At the front, three cars were pulling away from the pack, as Pulling continued to hold off Bustamante and title chaser Hamda Al Qubaisi. The British driver was not able to hold onto P1 for long as Bustamante, who had secured a podium in Race 2 this weekend, overtook around the Ascari Chicane.
It was then time for H.Al Qubaisi to make her move as she powered down the straight past Pulling to briefly move into P2. The Emirati driver would struggle to slow her car into Turn 1 making contact with the rear of Bustamante’s car and ending her race prematurely, though the PREMA car escaped unscathed from the incident.
Bustamante continued to pull away from Pulling, before further down the field, the Brit’s Rodin Carlin teammate Megan Gilkes spun out after contact with Lola Lovinfosse, bringing out the safety car and bunching up the pack.
With three laps to go, the Safety Car pulled in with Bustamante and Pulling immediately creating distance from Amna Al Qubaisi in P3. The Emirati driver and Campos Racing’s Nerea Martí continued to scrap for the final podium place, repeatedly switching positions while García and Bühler were back to battling, this time for P6.
Both drivers looked to overtake ART Grand Prix’s Carrie Schreiner with just two laps to go, a move that García was able to make stick, but the Swiss driver was forced to take the run-off area, clipping the final board in the process, and falling back to P9.
With just over one lap remaining, contact at the back of the grid between #14 PREMA Racing driver Chloe Chong and Mercantile Campos Racing’s Maite Cáceres left both in the gravel.
With just one lap left, the race finished under the Safety Car with Bustamante claiming her second win of the season ahead of Pulling and A. AL Qubaisi.
Bianca Bustamante, Race Winner:
“It was a tough race. The P2 in qualifying really helped me. At the start, the main goal was to race cleanly and navigate the first few corners. I tried a few time in T1 for the overtake on Abbi but was able to have a good run on one occasion into T3 and get the move donw. It was a really mega job from the team and the car was amazing.”
As It Stands Bustamante’s win moves her to P6 in the standings and just ten points off of a top five position. As the weekend comes to a close, Marta García has once again pulled ahead of her nearest rival H. Al Qubaisi. In the Teams’ Standings, PREMA Racing have closed the gap to MP Motorsport to just 28 points, after two race wins at their home track,
The teams head to Paul Ricard in just under two weeks’ time for two pivotal days of testing before Round 6 takes place there on 18-19 July.

Commission puts boxing charity on the hook
The Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry into the Jack Raine Community Foundation, following serious concerns over financial controls and other regulatory issues at the charity, which runs a boxing club in York amongst other activities
17 May 2017
The charity has objects to promote community participation and recreation, in particular coaching in contact and non-contact martial arts, and education. It has reported income of around £200,000 annually over the past five years.
Concerns regarding the financial controls at the Jack Raine Community Foundation were raised with the Commission after it was alerted by North Yorkshire Police that a financial investigation was being conducted into the charity.
As a result, the Commission made an unannounced visit to the charity’s premises in November 2016 to inspect the charity’s books and records. The Commission found insufficient financial records and no evidence of trustee meeting minutes to reflect any decisions taken by the trustee board.
The Commission has established further serious regulatory concerns which has escalated its engagement to an inquiry.
This will examine whether the financial management of the charity is adequate, including whether appropriate financial controls are in place, and if funds were expended in furtherance of the charity’s objects.
It will also look at the general administration, governance and management of the charity and consider whether the trustees have complied with and fulfilled their duties and responsibilities as trustees under charity law.
In order to protect the assets of the charity, the Commission has taken steps to freeze the charity’s bank accounts. It will be publishing a report of its findings once the inquiry is completed.

Many music lovers feel the most connected to their songs when they hear them live. However, a musician will find it difficult to create music that feels the same way on record. The pressure to perform well in live situations can make it hard to recreate the experience. It can be difficult for musicians to maintain intimacy during live performances. This is one of the things that make performing on stage so special.
Your audience is important.
Although it may sound strange, honoring your audience can help break down any barriers between you and them. Honoring your audience, no matter how many you have performed in front of, builds real intimacy. It comes from a place where respect and gratitude. You create music live, and the audience is there to hear you. They are not able to stay home or venture outside during your set. This is something to be thankful for. Whether you are performing in front of your family or friends, or a crowd numbering 10,000, it’s something that you should feel grateful for.
Engage your audience
Live shows are a great way to connect with your audience by speaking directly to them or sharing stories about your songs. This can also be done through eye contact, although some musicians are so intense that it feels strange. It is important to understand how to make the audience’s experience enjoyable and give your best. You should also consider the music genre you are performing in. This will impact the way you connect and engage with the audience. Folk artists need to be able to tell stories well, while death metal bands might find it difficult to tell funny stories in ten minutes. Unbridled passion on stage can be a great way to connect with listeners and communicate intimacy.
The audience can have a say in the play.
Making music in 2019 has many benefits. One is the ease with which we can connect online. Reaching out to your fans before shows is a great to create intimacy. Then, you can play the requested songs on stage and tell stories about the meaning of the music to your fans. This won’t work with every artist, but it will help others.
Every musician has a different definition of intimacy, so you will have to determine what it means for your music. It’s something you can transform your live performances if it’s something you are willing to take the time and try.
Music has been argued to contribute to well-being through its links to identity, social relationships, emotion, and memory. We investigated the phenomenon of “couple-defining songs (CDSs),” in which members of a couple come to identify their relationship with a particular song jointly. Two hundred participants in a romantic relationship, diverse in age and relationship length and status, reported whether they had a CDS. Those who reported a CDS described its origins and meaning and any memories and emotions elicited by thinking about their song.

The Family is the Foundation
America is made up of individual people organized together as families. With this in mind it is not a stretch to say that in order to have a stronger country, America needs to strengthen it’s families. This is a difficult task given the current economy and divorce rate of 50%. This means that a family only has a 50/50 chance of succeeding in the United States today. This alone has had a dramatic effect on the children of the divorced families. It is no wonder that gang activity has sky rocketed in the last 20 years. Children need to feel safe and wanted. If a family is unable to offer this, a child will turn to an alternative source. The gangs of today as heinous as they are, can provide a pseudo sense of security to a child that is left to raise themselves on the streets. Gangs pride themselves on “having each others backs”. When a parent is unable to provide a secure enough environment the child may eventually become involved in gang activities.
Strengthening the Family
In order to strengthen the family it is necessary to begin at the top with the parents. Until parents commit to making their marriages work, rather than giving up on them, the traditional family is in danger of becoming extinct. This may sound a little dramatic, but in reality when parents decide to divorce, the children are the ones that suffer the most. Children from divorced families can feel abandoned, unwanted, and even deserted in some cases. The best way to heal the family is to see that parents are committed to their relationship. In a society where immediate gratification is prevalent this can be a difficult task. Prior to marriage both parties need to realize the seriousness of the decision they are making. Without a sincere commitment to stay together “until death do they part” marriages will continue to fail. Parents need to realize that not every day in marriage is going to be blissful and trouble free. Trials will come, testing even the most committed marriages. It will require looking beyond ones self to the bigger picture and most importantly to the children. Successful parents must truly develop a sense of selflessness to succeed. This is difficult when children and teens are not taught to think of, and be considerate to others. These values can only be taught through example in the home.
Teaching Children Family Values
When children are raised by single parents or by parents that are disengaged in teaching their children, problems can occur. The public school system is not founded on religion, or on any type of value system. This prevents them from teaching children values, honesty, and integrity. These are most effectively taught in the home. Children will do what they see their parents do long before they will do what they are told to do. Parents need to provide an example of ethical living for their children to follow. Parents who try to live one way and teach their children something else are wasting their time. If children are not taught by their parents who will they be taught by? It would be a good idea for a family to develop a list of principles to live by. Some families have religious affiliations that define their common values. Other families have written mission statements defining what their family belief systems are all about.

Let's get this out of the way: there's no doubt that Donald Trump's policies may pose a direct threat to certain classes of American people. But in the wake of his Tuesday night election as president of the United States, there has been a wave of people worrying for the physical safety of Mexicans, Muslims, and anyone else who isn't white, male, and gender-conforming. The fear seems to legitimately be that there are would-be perpetrators of sexual assault and race-based violence that have been well-behaved so far but will now, emboldened by a President-elect Trump, suddenly go wild with the raping and the hate crimes.
Implausible? I think so. But the narrative has been bolstered by a few high-profile incidents of alleged aggression in Trump's America.
The first one to really go viral involved a Muslim female student at the University of Louisiana who claimed to have had her hijab ripped off and her wallet stolen the day after Trump's election by two white men wearing Trump hats. But on Thursday, local police announced that the young woman had admitted she fabricated the story. "This incident is no longer under investigation," the Lafayette Police Department said in a press release.
In another incident, this one in San Diego, a young Muslim woman's purse and car were stolen by one white male and one Hispanic male. While the men allegedly made negative comments about Muslims, it seems car stealing was more their motivation than harassment or intimidation—which is obviously shitty, but not necessarily a Trump-inspired act of bigotry...

Mayor invests £15m in improved services for victims and witnesses
Mayor invests in improved services for victims and witnesses
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is to invest £15million in a new and improved service for victims and witnesses of crime, which will offer a range of practical and emotional support services under one roof.
His increased investment will create the UK’s largest dedicated service centred on the needs of victims and witnesses of crime. The Mayor is committed to joining up the support available to witnesses and victims of crime in the criminal justice system, as well as continuing to invest in Independent Domestic Violence Advocates, which were both key priorities in his Police and Crime Plan.
Victim Support will begin delivery of the new service in April after being awarded the contract following a competitive tender process. Research commissioned by the Mayor to better understand victims’ experiences in navigating the Criminal Justice System found improvements need to be made after learning that some victims had been passed between agencies, often resulting in them being left without the support they needed. It became clear that because of this process, victims had to repeat their stories several times to a number of different professionals, adding to their ordeal.
Victim Support will provide a single point of contact for victims and witnesses, delivering an approach that victims can have greater trust in by making it easier for them to access support they need and prevent them from having to relive their trauma repeatedly. By improving victims’ experience, the Mayor is working to increase Londoners’ confidence in the criminal justice system, which will lead to more victims coming forward.
London’s Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Sophie Linden, said: “Being a victim or witness to a crime is absolutely devastating- and it’s simply not good enough that some of them are not getting access to the right support, or are having to relive their trauma over and over again.
“Victim Support has demonstrated it will be able bring specialist services together to provide one contact point for victims, and the Mayor’s investment will make sure that every Londoner has access to the support they need at one of the most difficult times of their life.
“At City Hall, we’ve spent months talking to victims and those involved in all stages of the criminal justice system to get to the heart of the issues and understand where improvements need to be made, because it’s crucial we have a system victims and witnesses have confidence in.”
Victims’ Commissioner for London, Claire Waxman, said: “It is fantastic to see such a significant investment in a service that has been designed to reflect the needs of victims and witnesses in London and will provide that much needed single point of contact to victims.
“It’s absolutely crucial that victims and witnesses have trust and confidence in a service that allows them access to all the support they need throughout the process, preventing them from further trauma & enabling their recovery.”
Chief Officer of Victim Support, Diana Fawcett, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the new contract which will allow our dedicated team of specially trained staff and volunteers to continue to provide independent support to victims and witnesses of crime across London.
“With our wealth of experience and knowledge, we will provide practical help and emotional support, whether or not the crime has been reported to the police.
“This new contract will allow us to provide an integrated service for victims and witnesses of crime, including those affected by domestic abuse, as well as offer restorative justice and support for those going to court. This will ensure victims and witnesses receive a seamless journey through the criminal justice system.”
Notes to editors
- The new Integrated Victims and Witnesses Service (IVWS) for London is due to launch on 1st April 2019, providing better, more streamlined support for victims and witnesses in London.
- As part of good procurement practices and in order to improve quality of service delivered, MOPAC recently commissioned this service via a competitive tender process welcoming bids from all providers.
- Following a thorough evaluation process, by a panel made up of representatives of MOPAC, key partners in the criminal justice system and the third sector, a decision was reached to award the contract to Victim Support.
- Victim Support will be acting as the lead provider, working in partnership with a number of agencies such as, Shelter, Galop, Sistah Space, St Giles Trust, Stay Safe East and Calm mediation.
- The new service was designed after thorough research was undertaken with victims, providers and stakeholders within the justice system, to identify issues such as existing fragmentation between support agencies, lack of consistency in support and having to repeat traumatic events to a number of different professionals.
- The new service will also utilise a proportion of budget devolved from the Ministry of Justice to offer a pre-trial support service to witnesses. For the first time, witnesses will be offered the support from the same package as victims, enabling them to give their best evidence at court, improving justice outcomes.
- The Mayor has secured additional funding and responsibilities from the MoJ for the provision of pre-trial support to witnesses, which will improve the service offer available in London and better join up the support available to victims and witnesses.


Local police are warning the public about a prolific phone scam targeting residents in Trail, Rossland and the surrounding areas.
People are receiving telephone calls from a male claiming to be, “Shawn White from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA),” but is not.
The caller threatens police or court action unless the person calls a 1-900 number to deal with the matter.
This is an attempt to have people call a pay-per-dial number and obtain their personal information for further frauds.
Do not call the 1-900 number.
Police urge anyone with concerns about the CRA to call the legitimate phone number that can be found on the Government of Canada website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.
In some instances, the fraudulent caller claims to be a local police officer and use threatening of forceful language to scare the person into paying a fictitious debt to the revenue agency.
Call display may show the phone number of the local police agency and the caller may even threaten the recipient with an arrest warrant unless immediate payment to the agency is made.
Again, this is an attempt to fraudulently obtain personal and financial information.
Police say do not provide your credit card information, personal information or any form of payment, such as cash, cheque or money order.
Anyone with concerns especially regarding an arrest warrant should contact local police, Trail RCMP Cpl. Mike Wilson advised in a Wednesday news release.
New frauds are invented on a daily basis, according to the CRA.
Keep access codes, user ID, passwords, and PINs a secret and never provide personal information. More tips about protection against identity theft are available on the agency’s website.

Amazon officially announced its plans to open its first fulfillment center in Little Rock.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — According to Arkansas Business’s Lance Turner, Amazon officially announced its plans to open its first fulfillment center in Little Rock.
It will launch in 2021 and create more than 1,000 full-time jobs.
The facility will be 825,000-square-feet, according to Arkansas Business’s website.
Little Rock city leaders signed off on a $3.2 million 80-acre land sale for the project in the Little Rock Port that same month.
“We’re delighted to be building out our network of operations in Little Rock, Arkansas,” said Alicia Boler Davis, Amazon’s vice president of global customer fulfillment, in a news release. “We greatly appreciate the strong support from local and state leaders as we look to open our first fulfillment center and second delivery station in the state of Arkansas. We look forward to creating over a thousand jobs for the Little Rock community, with industry leading pay and comprehensive benefits starting on day one.”
Amazon said workers at the new facility, under construction now in the port, “will work alongside Amazon robotics to pick, pack and ship small items to customers such as books, electronics and toys.”
Amazon said it is also planning a new 85,000-SF delivery station, set to launch in late 2020. The company said the delivery station will “create hundreds of permanent, full-time and part-time jobs.”

The lakes and canals are part of the City’s overall stormwater drainage system, the City maintains a majority of the water bodies/lakes throughout Weston, including those located in private communities.
Along with the wetland preserves, Weston has 1,877 acres of lakes and canals which are also carefully maintained by the City. Residents often question the spraying of vegetation along the lake edges or want to see the "weeds" removed; however, the plantings in each area were put there for a specific purpose, whether to attract certain insects, birds and fish, or to provide nesting places for reproduction, or to provide a food supply for others. The City sprays the exotic weeds, which die, fall into the water and deteriorate, leaving only the native plants. Dead plant leaves and stems break down in the water to form small particles of enriched organic material. This feeds many small aquatic insects, shellfish and small fish that are food for larger fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals.
The vegetation along lakes and canals, also known as littoral shelves, is necessary for water quality, enabling Weston residents and visitors to enjoy pristine water conditions. Diverse vegetation pulls impurities from the water, like a filter, and releases oxygen and water into the atmosphere.
For questions or concerns regarding lake maintenance, please call 954-385-2600. Lake maintenance issues can also be reported via email to the Public Works Department staff.

Since we design and build everything in house and are limited to virtually nothing, we sometimes encounter the situation where a particular piece of hardware does not exist for our application. In this case the application was fuel injector timing measurement.
The result was our Universal timing module that has become one of our few “standard” products. This module can be used to measure other timing events as well in the range of 0-10ms with a resolution of 0.1 microsecond. Jumper configurations on the board allow for various input configurations including a “cascaded” mode where several of these units can be chained together to perform multiple measurements for one event such as split injection timing.
- Measurement resolution to 0.1 microseconds
- Snap track mount or panel mount enclosure
- Jumper configuration allows polarity selection
- BCD data output is standard
- Optional analog data output available
- Years of proven use in the field demonstrates reliability
- Accepts a variety of means to determine terminating event
- Unit can handshake if necessary to accommodate slow data collection
- Unit operates on 15-30 VDC

New Plan for Dunes National Lakeshore Released
Mark J. Bouman, Park Superintendent Costa Dillon, and Laurel Ross announce release of report
Photo: National Parks Conservation Association
ECCo’s Laurel Ross and Mark Bouman are on the team that will implement an important new vision for the National Park that is only an hour’s drive from the Museum—the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
After two years of research and input, “National Park, Regional Treasure: The Future of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore” was released September 26 at the park by the National Parks Conservation Association, the Eppley Institute, and The Field Museum.
The report is a blueprint for park staff and the many park partners in the Calumet region, where ECCo has worked for over 15 years, to work together to protect this great national park, the ecological jewel of the region. Considering the challenges and opportunities at the park, there is quite a lot to keep us busy.
As part of this process ECCo’s Abigail Derby Lewis, Doug Stotz and Laurel Ross convened regional scientists to advise on research priorities, park management, and climate change adaptation.
Mark will be working on finding ways to implement the report's recommendation to establish a Cultural Heritage Trail connecting the park to Chicago.
No better time to visit the Dunes than fall!

Audiobooks keep me entertained while keeping up with my reading goal. Plus, sometimes audiobooks have extra benefits that the visual version doesn’t have.
In my latest audio adventure, Gary Janetti is the author and reader, and his cadence always brings another layer of humor to the book.
I’m talking about “Start Without Me (I’ll Be There in a Minute)” — Janetti’s second book. I listened to his first book, “Do You Mind if I Cancel?” and laughed out loud nearly the entire time, so I opted for the audiobook the second time around.
This book of essays (yet another book of essays that I enjoyed; perhaps I’m changing my ways) covers Janetti’s childhood in New Jersey, as he tries to fit in with his family or the kids at school.
The result is hilarious, and I particularly enjoyed the story of Janetti getting a pass to skip the football lesson in gym class to spend afternoons with a nun/counselor who was caught up in Janetti’s fictional story about his parent’s divorce.
If you’re a fan of “Family Guy” or “The Prince” for which Janetti is a writer, you’ll love his books!

Mark Applebaum with the DePauw Percussion Ensemble
The quirky American composer and electroacoustic-instrument builder Mark Applebaum, with a reputation for being the "Mad Scientist of Music," joins the DePauw Percussion Ensemble, student soloists and faculty guests for an evening of his original works in Kresge Auditorium on Thursday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. The Faculty Select concert includes performance of scores with curiosity-inducing titles like "The Metaphysics of Notation" (the full score of which is 72 feet wide), "Echolalia" and "Composition for Machine No.1."
When confronted with a piece of experimental music, Applebaum, a professor of music composition at Stanford, asks: "Is it music? This is not the important question. The important question is, is it interesting?" Audience members will hear visual art become sound, see a piece of music that involves no sound at all, experience a work for solo performer of American Sign Language and become enveloped in Applebaum's unique percussive soundscape.
The unconventional, but well-known composer is also active as a jazz pianist and has concertized from Sumatra to the Czech Republic, most recently performing a solo recital in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso sponsored by the American Embassy. At present he performs with his father, Robert Applebaum of Chicago, in the Applebaum Jazz Piano Duo. Their first recording, "The Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree," is available on Innova. At Stanford University, Applebaum also serves as the founding director of [sic] -- the Stanford Improvisation Collective.

Right now, the world can kiss my ass. I’m done with it. Done with people stepping up to me and bitching and expecting me to compromise MYSELF because something needs to be done about a certain situation. I am too stressed, too emotional to deal with anyone else’s shit. I am sorry if this pisses you off, offends you in any way, or otherwise harms your delicate sensibilities. Someone I care about is in the hospital, and I am trying desperately to hold myself together. I am also dealing with a manager at work that is continually trying to skirt a DIRECT medical order that has me not able to use any cleaning solutions or soaps while at work because they break out my hands (contact dermititis for the fail), and I’m also not allowed to be in gloves.
I am not your punching bag, I am not your bitch to order around. I am dealing with my own shit and I will put what I need before any and everyone else. If you can not handle that, then I guess we weren’t as good of friends as anyone thought.
Yes, I’m a bitch right now, yes, I am going to be fucking blunt. Don’t fucking like it, to bad. Grow up, suck it up, and deal with it. I have had quite a bit of time to meditate on things and think on things, and I can not allow the opinions of certain individuals guide my life any longer. I am my own person and I will live and do with it as I please.

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
This quote by American Revolution-era orator Patrick Henry is instructive in the debate that is currently taking place around the nation, over police encounters with civilians in which individuals end up beaten, arrested and even killed.
A public discussion about the need to reach an adequate balance between law enforcement and the fundamental constitutional rights of individuals, is long overdue. Unless such balance is achieved, the lives and liberty of many, particularly people of color, will continue to be put at risk.
Anyone stopped by a law enforcement officer should be respectful and obey the instructions given to them by the officer. It protects the officer and themselves. Officers, in turn, should comport themselves in accordance with the law, civility and respect, when interacting with the public.
However, it has become a tenet of late, and generally accepted by the population, that if a person who has arguably committed no crime and broken no laws, is stopped by a police officer, that the only rational response by that individual is to submit without so much as a word of resistance or insistence on lawful treatment, regardless of how illegal the stop is, or how abusive, offensive or unlawful the officer's conduct might be.
Accepting a notion about the inevitability of poor police conduct as endemic to law enforcement, is inherently an unprincipled position that needs to be re-examined.
It is also arguably unconstitutional.
The U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and particularly the Fourth Amendment, were specifically enacted to rebuke and guard against the potential abuses of government in the performance of its duties.
And, yet we are repeatedly warned that the prudent conduct for any individual who is stopped by the police, regardless of the circumstances, is to submit to whatever is demanded of them by officers. It is suggested that if stopped, we must allow ourselves to be manhandled, verbally abused, bullied and even physically assaulted -- as a means of warding off what could be a worse scenario.
The presumption that any grievance could be redress afterwards in a court of law, has become the only recourse suggested and accepted by pundits and law enforcement experts, as the appropriate course of action for the beleaguered individual who has braved a police incident in which they have endured insult, abuse or violence.
It misguidedly presumes that once brought before a judge, an individual will have the means and resources secure the time, representation and bail, if necessary, to purse a complaint later. Even if an innocent person manages to have unjustified charges dismissed, seeking rectification will never undo the deprivation of fundamental constitutional rights, humiliation, and loss of freedom that comes from knowing that no one is free from unlawful and illegal search and seizure by government.
Beyond the constitutional infringements, there are other significant consequences of "submit now-and-sue later," including the unavoidable loss of law enforcement legitimacy, and the cost of settlements brought by victims, a price ultimately paid by taxpayers.
Because law enforcement officers are granted the powers to arrest, seize property, and even use deadly force on behalf of the state, the constitution charges them with greater responsibilities in executing their duties. They must be held to a higher standard of character and moral judgment, than a policy of "submit-and-sue" suggests.
We must demand that police officers treat every person that is stopped, without exception, with respect, the presumption that the person has committed no crime -- unless they have the probable cause to believe otherwise. It is crucial that law enforcement officers realize that the right to stop individuals is not only derived from their badge, but from the authority that flows directly from the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.
Until the mindset suggesting that free people should submit themselves to abuse by those hired to protect them is debunked, there must be an outcry by the legal community and those law enforcement officers who currently understand they do not have powers to abuse, mistreat or endanger civilians. There should be a clear-eyed examination on the broad impact of "submit-and-sue" as an appropriate response when confronted with police abuse.
The public should not accept that the only course of action for law-abiding individuals is to be at the mercy of those who have a Constitutional duty to protect them. Instead, let us be unyielding in the pursuit of a more just and ethical society, as constructed by all its members -- on both sides of the badge.

Last November at the Collision Industry Conference, a panel consisting of PDR companies, insurers, and shops discussed the problems with processing hail damage in the PDR business. In the discussion, their goal was to reduce the headaches and tension around catastrophe claims after major storms.
According to Autobody News’, John Yoswick, Matthew McDonnell of Big Sky Collision in Montana, discussed some of the problems involving “cat team” claims managed by PDR shops. For example, in 2011, Montana had a law put in place that prevents insurers from “unilaterally disregarding a repair operation or cost identified by an estimating system.” However, he further claimed that not all “cat team” claims handlers are aware of the above information.
McDonnell said, “We had to go through that PDR company for a supplement. We sent it to them, and they took off a significant amount.” The PDR company then said “We have an agreement with the insurer involved and you don’t get paid for those things.” McDonnell continued, stating he had to call them and say “we have a different regulation in Montana. You cannot disregard repair operations, and I just want to let you know you’re inconsistent with Montana law.” The PDR responded with “Oh, I don’t have to follow Montana law.”
However, McDonnell said that while some states can waive licensing qualifications for adjusters who come in from out of state for “cat clams,” they don’t waive the requirement to follow state laws. He continued on and suggested that shops need to understand their state laws and what they require from those who come out to help temporarily with catastrophe claims.
“Our insurance commissioner’s office wants them to register with the state. So they will now follow Montana regulations. It’s $100 to register. It’s not like it’s a big thing. But it’s the fact that we’re all playing by the rules. That’s a big deal to me.” McDonnell said.

Mounting a receiver with tape is a hassle if you’re
swapping a receiver from model to model. Use a
piece of scrap Lexan or any flat plastic to make a
removable receiver mount. Cut the plastic slightly
longer than the receiver so you can mount it to the
chassis with a pair of screws.
Shock Tower Saver
Nothing chews up buggy shock towers and shock tops faster than rollovers on pave-
ment. You can spare your towers and shocks by mounting fender washers under the
shock screws. It looks a little goofy, but the washers will prevent your shocks and towers
from being ground down.

This actor is on his way to A list. All he does is movies. Oh and a celebrity. Anyway, on his latest movie, his co-star is not impressed with him at all. She is a a movie actress. Probably B-, but headed to B+ list and has definitely been in the news a lot lately. Anyway, our actress was overheard yesterday telling someone that the actor and his girlfriend were made for each other because she had met boxes of rocks that were smarter than this guy. She was trying to engage him in any kind of small talk while they were waiting for a scene to be shot and the only thing he had any knowledge about were video games and the best hair gels for windy weather. She asked him who he would vote for in the Presidential election if he could vote and he said he didn't even know that was happening this year.

text: Among the Cyanoprokaryota (blue-green algae), the genus Phormidium has thus far rarely been studied with respect to toxin production and potentially resulting human and environmental health effects. We here show that five previously unexplored freshwater species of this genus (Ph. bijugatum, Ph. molle, Ph. papyraceum, Ph. uncinatum, Ph. autumnale) are indeed capable of producing bioactive compounds. Phormidium extracts caused weight loss as well as neuro/hepatotoxic symptoms in mice, and in the case of Ph. bijugatum even death. Very low levels of saxitoxins and microcystins, as confirmed by ELISA, were insufficient to explain this toxicity and the differing toxic potencies of the Phormidium species. Qualitative HPLC analyses confirmed different substance patterns and in the future could aid in the separation of fractions for more detailed substance characterisation. The results in vivo were confirmed in vitro using cells of human, mouse and fish. The fish cells responded least sensitive but proved useful in studying the temperature dependence of the toxicity by the Phormidium samples. Further, the human cells were more sensitive than the mouse cells thus suggesting that the former may be a more appropriate choice for studying the impact of Phormidium to man. Among the human cells, two cancer cell lines were more responsive to one of the samples than a normal cell line, thereby indicating a potential anti-tumour activity. Thus, the five freshwater Phormidium species should be considered in environmental risk assessment but as well, as a source of therapeutic agents.

Reading can help students learn about the world around them. First, books can open your mind. Lisa Bu said that reading books can support students to have a wide range of book choices during her TED talk. (TED talk) In another way to say, reading books can teach new experience and information to students. Second, books can build independent and self-confidence.
Eventually they will want to read on their own. With the help of parents, children can learn how to read and can practice reading until they can read for their own enjoyment. Then they will have a whole world of information and knowledge at their fingertips! Reading can be a family activity. Spending time with word games, stories, and books will help your child to: gather information and learn about the
Why we read? We read because reading benefits our body, inspires us to be better people, and expands our capabilities to be imaginative, creative and empathetic. A negative stigma about reading has developed in the current century: that reading is a mere pastime, that it is a taxing chore [or labour], and simply a hobby for the elderly or people with time on their hands. But reading is much more than this. In recent years, research into the benefits of reading has shown us that reading helps to improve focus, concentration and memory.
Even now, reading is still one of the cheapest forms of entertainment and leisure that benefits readers; through reading, one may gain knowledge and information and simultaneously strengthen his command of language Reading allows the freedom of creative and analytical thinking. One begins to obtain a complex understanding of the text and gain the ability to think in depth. When reading, an interaction is created between the reader
Reading Studies show that reading for pleasure makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. Children who love to read every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who don’t, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures (Pearson, 2017). Many people have been curious or have wondered for now and in the past about why reading is important, it is important in many kinds of reasons. By reading, it could develops our mind, develops the creative side of people and develops our imagination, besides, reading is fundamental to functioning in today’s society, it is a vital skill in finding a good job, and it discovers new things. Reading is so important because it develops our mind.
Reading is not just reading books because someone tells you to, it is the key to learning, and creating a mental picture of the world around us. Being able to read provides me with opportunities for a better future. My mom made learning to read exciting and instilled in me the possibilities that awaited me through learning to read. She allowed me to develop a love and understanding beyond my young
Some suggestions, which reading guidelines offer, can nevertheless help to improve the reading process when properly adapted.

The target group, however, corresponds to the group of lawyers, financers and businessmen,
Through reading literature for school or pleasure, teens have the chance to improve their awareness of the constant challenges that many people face around them; this improving skill can increase the desire to read more literature so that teens have an understanding of the world that they never had before. According to the article “Disturbing (or Not?)
It found that students’ past and present experiences of learn- ing to read and being a reader inﬂuenced their perceptions of what reading is and of what it means to teach reading. As a teacher educator, I am not able to give students long experience of seeing children becoming readers, but I am able to give them richer experiences of reading in personally and culturally rele- vant contexts. Calderhead and Sharrock (1997) identiﬁed the tensions they claimed existed then in the world of teacher education. They saw a world full of tensions: the ten- sion between theory and practice, content and process, gatekeeping and facilitating, personal and professional development, survival and reﬂection, support and chal- lenge and reproduction and innovation.
Reading is the process of constructing meaning from written texts. It is a complex skill requiring the coordination of a number of interrelated sources of information (Anderson et al., 1985). Reading is generally accepted as a way of acquiring new information and new knowledge. As we know, many students were actually do not really dislike to read but they gave priority to other activities such as sports, social life and school work (Wagner, 2002). They would read during pleasure times such as during semester break or after they had finished their major projects.

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — What began as a prayer for peace at Trinity Church culminated into a thousands-strong rally for Ukraine in the Boston Common Sunday afternoon.
Named "Stand with Ukraine," the rally was organized by the Ukrainian Cultural Center of New England, and was scheduled to have a Holy Eucharist in the morning and then a "Peace March" heading downtown from Copley Square to the Parkman Bandstand.
The UCCNE encouraged participants to bring Ukrainian flags, posters, symbols, and signs to show their support.
The event was live streamed on the UCCNE's Facebook and featured speakers like Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, with Representative Ayanna Pressley making an appearance as well. Flags waved at the Bandstand during the rally, reading "stop buying Russian oil," and "stop the war."


PLDT and new comer DITO Telecommunity are now partners, recently entering an agreement for the construction of a transmission facility that will serve as the point of interconnection to benefit both their subscribers.
Under the agreement, PLDT will establish and manage the interconnection facility that will operate as the primary physical interface for the two telcos.
PLDT Chief Revenue Officer and Smart Communications President and CEO Al Panlilio emphasized importance of establishing this interconnection capability between PLDT-Smart and DITO subscribers, as mandated by the NTC.
“During this pandemic, technology has been a lifeline for our customers so we want to make sure that our connectivity is solid in helping our fellow Filipinos and the entire nation during these critical times. We thank DITO for this partnership and I am looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship,” Panlilio added.
PLDT’s technology and expertise will be put to work asthe interconnection hub is set to deliver the intercarrier requirements of DITO which will benefit all fixed and wireless subscribers of both PLDT and DITO by enabling them to communicate and connect to all the services needed.
The planned facility is expected to be completed by end-March in time for the commercial operations of DITO.
DITO Telecommunity Chairman and CEO Dennis Uy shared during the virtual signing how DITO would need to work with other telco players like PLDT for them to deliver their commitment to Filipinos.
From 2015 to 2019, PLDT has invested over Php 260 million in capital expenditures. For 2021, the telco group is prepared to invest between Php 88 billion and Php 92 billion to further improve its fixed line and mobile services.
Since July 2020, PLDT-Smart was able to secure over 2,500 permits to build more cell sites, on top of the 4,000 secured by PLDT.
PLDT has the most extensive fiber infrastructure in the country, comprised of more than 429,000 kilometers as of December 2020.

BEIJING, May 22 (Reuters) – China said on Friday it will bolster the capacity of the country’s energy reserves and offer lower gas and electricity charges to key industries, as it looks to ensure energy supply and offset the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
In energy announcements on the first day of the parliament, known as the National People’s Congress (NPC), authorities also pledged to boost the country’s oil and gas network and continue to support exploration for unconventional gas reserves.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a statement it would push forward construction of crude oil reserves.
The coronavirus pandemic has led to a slump in demand for crude oil, with insufficient storage capacity worldwide.
The NDRC said it would also press ahead with competitive trading of mining rights for oil- and gas-bearing zones, aiming to attract more market players into oil and gas exploration and production.
The country will also accelerate construction of oil and gas network and encourage the opening up of pipeline facilities to all eligible users, said the state planner.
China set up its long-awaited national oil and gas pipeline company in December aiming at providing fair market access to infrastructure and boost investment in oil and gas production.
Meanwhile, back in the rotting corpse known as the EU, car manufacturers are in desperate crisis, faced by the long term threat of climate policies and the immediate threat of coronavirus:
And the corpse’s response?
So car manufacturers, already facing oblivion because of lockdown, can only expect aid to see them through difficulties not of their own making if they agree to bankrupt themselves in the search for “cleaner cars”. I suspect many, like Nissan, will say “on your bike”!
