Jennifer Huerta and Cesar Ledezma, rising-seniors at Desert Hot Springs High School, are in the middle of an incredibly unique solar internship. They’re working with their school district, Palm Springs Unified, to get three solar arrays, totaling 1.7 megawatts, installed on the district’s administrative buildings and two elementary schools.
Neither Jennifer nor Cesar are solar newbies. They’re both students in the Renewable Energy Academy of Learning (REAL), a four-year program that provides students with renewable energy education. Through REAL’s partnership with GRID Inland Empire’s Solar Futures program, Jennifer and Cesar also have hands-on experience installing rooftop solar in their community.
When you’re in the Coachella Valley, it’s easy to see why solar is growing. The sun shines strongly most days and, when asked about the future of renewable energy, Cesar was optimistic. He said, “We’re the generation that will be a part of it so we need to learn as much as we can.”
Career technical education in the area has evolved over time. Students are getting experience with solar and other renewable energy technologies based on the industry needs of the region and the growth of the renewable energy industry.
Casey Heiser, REAL program coordinator and teacher, says the partnership with GRID is helping both students pursuing higher education and those interested in starting a career right away. One local solar company already employs several REAL graduates. “I would not doubt the experience with GRID influenced that. [Solar] is a booming industry and is solid work they can do,” said Casey.
When Jennifer participated in GRID installations, she saw first-hand how the experience was benefiting others in her community. “Volunteering with GRID helps a lot of people have an entryway into the actual career,” she noted.
Through their summer internship, Cesar and Jennifer are getting even more solar experience beyond the installation process including behind the scenes to work like evaluating proposals and contracts. They’re learning a lot and both students plan to pursue engineering degrees after graduation and continue to help renewable energy grow.
Thank you SunPower for sponsoring our Solar Futures program!

I know what you’re thinking. What does bratwurst have to do with Cinco de Mayo? Well, mi amigos, once you experience the Mexican treatment this German dish gets, you’ll see why it popped into my head as the perfect cookout meal. In honor of Taco Tuesday, I thought I’d shake things up with a recipe that lets me do two things: 1) Use up the veggies in my crisper and 2) debut a recipe that is not exactly Mexican in nature, but a celebration of different world cuisines in one dish. Enjoying a German bratwurst, presented as a colorful Mexican taco, is a very CANVAS & CUISINE-Y Thing to do! I’m talking about my work in progress, a cookbook that my good friend, Sue Fazio inspired with her beautiful oil paintings of food markets around the world.
Our collaborative cookbook features many of Sue’s gorgeous renderings of the ingredients in this “taco” dish – like Napa cabbage, red bell peppers and other scrumptious produce splattered across canvases, depicting yumminess from Spain to Viet Nam. I hope you’ll join my Facebook group, Scrumptious Possibilities to learn more! Just comment here or in my social media feed, and I’ll send you an invite.
Keep in mind: if Mom loves a good brat, you might wanna save this grill marked dinner for Mother’s Day weekend. It’s fun to enjoy poolside!
Grilled Taco Dogs
Serves 4 to 8
30 Minute Cuisine
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into quarters
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
1 small head Napa cabbage, cut into quarters
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher sat
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
8 (3-ounce) bratwurst, you can substitute with your favorite artisanal sausage or hot dog
8 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Heat an outdoor grill (or grill pan) to medium high heat. Brush both sides of the peppers, onion and cabbage with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the veggies until just beginning to char on the edges and soften in the center, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the veggies to a parchment lined baking sheet. Do not overcook. You don’t want mushy veggies on your dog! Drizzle the vinegar over the warm cabbage. This will simulate sauerkraut in the taco.
Cut the brats in half lengthwise and brush both sides with the remaining olive oil. Grill until the brats just begin to char, about 3 to 5 minutes. Lay the tortillas on the grill to warm, turning after just a couple of seconds.
Assemble the tacos by placing the tortilla onto a plate. Slice the onions and peppers into strips. Slice the cabbage into thin wedges. Lay one piece of brat onto the taco. Top with slices of vegetables. Sprinkle cilantro over the top and drizzle with a bit of lime juice. Squeeze a bit of mustard over the top and serve!
With Mother’s Day coming up, I perused my very best brunch recipes from my family style cookbook, SUNDAY BEST DISHES. Envisioning a breakfast fit for a queen, I ultimately chose (from so many delicious and syrupy possibilities) BANANAS FOSTER SKILLLET CAKES with…drumroll…cinnamon swirl syrup. This recipe was inspired by a New Orleans classic that features sautéed, caramelized bananas over melting ice cream.
This is a tribute to the original that gets better only if you travel to the Big Easy and eat at the Commanders Palace – home to perhaps the most famous brunch in America. But let’s let Mom sleep in today…The part she’ll love the best is using the extra syrup to dip sweet, crunchy bacon in. But bacon or no bacon, my guess is everyone in the family will want cinnamon swirl syrup – a SUNDAY BEST original – drizzled atop all their future pancakes.
Here’s how to prep the bacon for your Mother’s Day brunch:
Preheat your oven to 350°. Dredge bacon slices in brown sugar. Really pack that sugar onto the bacon. Place each strip onto a rack set into a baking sheet. Cook the bacon for 20 minutes or so, until it is browned and caramelized and yummy. Oh how happy are you!! Oh, by the way, Sunday Best Dishes is the perfect present for the Mom cook in your family. Order your copy from Amazon today and get special pricing. I’ll send a personalized inscription for your Mom if you email me directly at email@example.com, subject line: Sign my cookbook!
Bananas Foster Skillet Cakes
with Cinnamon Swirl Syrup
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons dark molasses
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 whole banana, peeled and slice into rounds
Whisk together cream cheese, condensed milk, buttermilk, molasses and vanilla in a saucepan over medium high heat. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Add water to thin the syrup to desired consistency if necessary. Stir in the bananas and keep warm.
1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon table salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon canola oil, plus 1 tablespoon butter
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, maple syrup, egg and melted butter in a separate bowl. Stir wet ingredient into the dry ingredients.
Heat an electric griddle (or non-stick skillet) over medium heat. Melt together the canola oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Ladle the batter into the pan. Cook until the batter bubbles and the edges begin to crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the skillet cakes and cook on the second side until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove to a platter and keep warm in a 200° oven (or warming drawer). Repeat with the remaining batter using additional canola oil and butter as needed.
¾ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
Whisk the syrup, condensed milk and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat until just combined, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter. Keep warm.
Build the dish by layering a skillet cake topped with a spoonful of banana cream. Continue as high as you dare. Pour cinnamon syrup over the top. Slice into wedges and serve.
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the summer time, where the farmers markets brighten up the road sides with in season produce, fresh flower bouquets, and vending stations offering all kinds of goodies. As a cookbook author, it’s a chance to run wilder than the azaleas in bloom– and my favorite place to do it is the Watauga Farmers Market in Boone, NC.
I always load up on beets, blueberries, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, collards, green peas, lettuces of all kinds, and loads of delicious strawberries this time of year.
My Kale Salad with Strawberries and Goat Cheese takes advantage of the freshest kale, sweetest strawberries and creamy artisanal cheese found in the market. There’s a cheese maker at the Watauga Farmer’s Market in the mountains of North Carolina that makes so many variations of goat cheese that it’s hard to choose. You can taste them all, if you are patient enough to wait your turn.
I also like to create super granola with the seeds and nuts I find at the market. Look for the super granola recipe at the bottom of this recipe. All kinds of possibilities lay in wait under those farmer’s market tents! See you around…
Kale Salad with Strawberries and Goat Cheese & a Nutty Topper
Serves 4 to 6 as a side salad
30 Minute Cuisine
For Nutty Topper:
1 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ cup roasted, salted and shelled pistachios
¼ cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds
¼ cup roasted, and salted Pepitas
½ large lemon juiced, about 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoons honey
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
½ cup olive oil
1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves chopped, about 3 to 4 cups
1 pint fresh strawberries, stems removed and sliced, about 2 cups
4 to 5 medium radishes, sliced thin, about 1 cup
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled, about ½ cup
Melt the butter and brown sugar in a medium skillet pan over medium-high heat. Stir in the pistachios, sunflower seeds and pepitas. Cook until the nuts are just beginning to toast, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the nuts and seeds onto a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet to cool.
Place the lemon juice, mustard and honey in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil. Place the kale into a salad bowl and pour the dressing over the top. Let the salad sit on the counter at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the leaves to soften.
Add the strawberries, radishes and goat cheese to the salad bowl. Toss with the kale and dressing and sprinkle the nutty topper over the top.
To make super granola: Just place nuts and/or seeds into a bowl with 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup dried fruit (like cranberries or blueberries), and a tablespoon of honey. Toss with a beaten egg white, a tablespoon of honey and a pinch of salt. Pour the granola mixture onto a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350°until the oats are golden and toasted, about 10 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container. Spoon granola over yogurt and berries for a fast and yummy breakfast starter!

There would have been more than usual interest in a performance by the University of Western Australia Choral Society at the weekend as this was Jangoo Chapkhana’s debut as director of this long- established choir.
It was an impressive presentation with Handel’s Ode for St Cecilia’s Day memorable for often-splendid choral corporate tone and tempo choices that sounded intuitively right.
A cornucopia of musical delights included trumpeter Jenny Coleman’s vividly realised contribution in ‘The trumpet’s loud clangour’. And after intermission, Evan Cromie, too, did wonders on the trumpet.
Incidentally, collectors of musical trivia might be interested to know that Handel’s Ode was premiered at a time when England was at war with Spain – and the work’s many martial flourishes would have stirred the blood of a goodly number of English concertgoers at the time.
Confident attack, well maintained momentum, phrasing of finesse and clarity of diction augur well for a choir that sounds refreshingly alert and revitalised as in ‘From harmony’.
An orchestra led by Daniel Kossov gave us finely managed dotted rhythms and clean lines in the overture and a gracefully stated Menuetto. Strings, overall, were in excellent fettle.
I liked the tenderness that informed much of ‘The soft complaining flute’ but singing was not always quite on the note here.
There was much that gave listening pleasure, too, in Bach’s Magnificat in D with the choir once again strikingly in form – and evoking what one commentator has so perceptively described as the work’s “unearthly jubilance”. Stewart Smith was beyond reproach at the organ.
In ‘Suscepit Israel’, vocal soloists Stephanie Gooch, Sarah-Janet Dougiamas and Meredith Wilkie sang to fine effect with Robert Hofmann coming into his own in ‘Quia fecit’. David Woodward brought a supple and musicianly voice to his arias. Earlier, we heard pleasingly idiomatic contributions from recorder players Jordi Corall and Tamara Gries in ‘Eurientes implevit bonis’.
In ‘Fecit potentiam’, singing oscillated between spot-on brilliance and incoherence.
There was also a deeply felt presentation of Bach’s O Jesu Christ, Mein Lebens Licht.
In passing: for the benefit of those concertgoers – and critics – who make a point of arriving in good time for events such as this, could something be done about latecomers who thoughtlessly walk into the hall mid-aria or chorus, their footsteps on the uncarpeted wooden floor providing a thoroughly unwanted clattering obbligato to Bach and Handel’s best efforts? What is the point of having ushers on duty if they do next to nothing about this maddeningly intrusive practice?


Another poster has been released to promote the Scott Pilgrim vs The World movie, sadly Anna isn’t on it but I thought sharing would be nice anyway.
“I feel like it’s timeless and I wanted that moment to be a picture that I can look back on in 50 years and not think, ‘Oh my God, what was I thinking? That’s so 2010!'”
I have to agree with that statement, her dress was absolutely stunning, especially on her. And I don’t think any of us will remember this dress as “dated”

Daniel EklundTitle: Senior Lecturer School/office: School of Medical Sciences
Phone: +46 19 301460
About Daniel Eklund
Daniel Eklund defended his thesis at Linköpings university in 2013, where the research focused on the interaction between human macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Emphasis was on understanding the role of the intracellular protein complex, the inflammasome, which regulates the production of certain proinflammatory cytokines. During 2014-2016, he continued as a post-doc within immunology and studied the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis and how the underlying inflammation and immune response is modulated during pregnancy. In 2017, he was recruited as an assistant professor to Örebro university and today he works as an senior lecturer within biomedicine.
The research is focused on understanding the interplay between proinflammatory and ant-inflammatory mechanisms and cells and how they contribute to the development and progression of human disease. Especially, the research is based round understanding the role of monocytes and the role of the inflammasome during sepsis, which is characterized by dysregulated inflammation.
Daniels research also includes other conditions where the function of human monocytes and macrophages have an active role, such as surgery, cancer and psychiatric disorders.
The research is also part of Örebro University strategic intiative towards inflammation and the Life Science sector, Exploring Inflammation in Health and Disease (X-HiDE), where Daniel acts as a coordinator for one of the theme groups in the project. More information on X-HiDE.
Daniel Eklund is currently the coordinator on the first semester of the Medical program at Örebro university (MC501G). In addition, he is also an experienced PBL-group tutor. Daniel also teaches advanced immunology, cell biology and laboratory techniques at several courses in the international Master’s program Experimental Medicine.
He has developed and acts as co-coordinator of the PhD course ”Experimentell metodik för kliniska doktorander” (75MV001), where he also teaches and acts as mentor for the enrolled PhD students. He is currently co-supervising five PhD students.
Unit head at the Department of Medical Sciences.

After a few potential purchasers balked in the fall of 1985,
Catmull and his colleague Alvy Ray Smith decided to seek investors so that they could buy the division themselves.
So they called Jobs, arranged another meeting, and drove down to his Woodside house.
After railing for a while about the perfidies and idiocies of Sculley,
Jobs proposed that he buy their Lucasfilm division outright.
Catmull and Smith demurred: They wanted an investor, not a new owner.
But it soon became clear that there was a middle ground:
Jobs could buy a majority of the division and serve as chairman but allow Catmull and Smith to run it.
"I wanted to buy it because I was really into computer graphics," Jobs recalled.
"I realized they were way ahead of others in combining art and technology, which is what I've always been interested in."
He offered to pay Lucas $5 million plus invest another $5 million to capitalize the division as a stand-alone company.
That was far less than Lucas had been asking, but the timing was right. They decided to negotiate a deal.

Kanniyakumari is a tourist and pilgrimage centre noted for its Shiva temple and its memorial to Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi. Legend claims that the goddess Kanya Kumari (“Youthful Virgin”) killed a demon on the town site. Pilgrimage rites include bathing at Pitru and Matru Tirtha, two rocks over which a monument honouring Vivekananda, a Hindu religious leader, was built in 1970.
The fertile soils inland from Kanniyakumari support an extremely dense population, while the sandy coastal plain contains worked deposits of monazite and ilmenite. The area is primarily agricultural but has some hand-loom weaving industries. Pop. (2001) 19,739; (2011) 22,453.

A few months after recovering from the loss of its website, Elevate Pass has once again failed.
This time, CFO Mark Verdellen is cashing out and fleeing for financial reasons. Instead of simply admitting they ran out of invested funds to pay out, Elevate Pass has presented Verdellen’s exit fraud as a result of poor financial management.
In a video explaining his exit scam and the lack of funds for Elevate Pass, Verdellen appeared and read the following script:
“My name is Mark Verdellen, and I’d like to educate you all about the current situation at Elevate Pass. Elevate Pass’s current financial status is dire, and I am solely responsible for it.
My poor choices have resulted in the majority of the company’s money being lost. I made these financial decisions independently, without notifying the other founders.
I did not inform the founders months ago when a big chunk of funds were gone. I concealed and covered up the company’s true financial condition from them and chose to act alone with the aim of regaining it.
This resulted in jeopardizing the entire company. I sincerely apologize to the founders and members of the organization. As a consequence of my actions, I am immediately resigning as CFO and member of Elevate Pass Limited.
I am aware that Elevate Pass may file a lawsuit against me. Mark Verdellen is a serial Ponzi scammer. Previously, he co-founded ImpulsX with serial con artist Darren Bradbury. Prior to that, Verdellen promoted Fred Stege’s Ponzi scheme, Elysium Capital.”
Elevate Pass was a straightforward adpack Ponzi scheme with a 200% ROI. After Verdellen’s exit fraud, Rafael Cebula (CEO), Jolanda Vroegh (COO), and Kaja Sikora (CMO) of Elevate Pass convened a webinar to recite their own script; In light of Mark’s comments and recent developments and the company’s poor financial status, we wish to assure our members that the company will not shut down.
And we are neither vanishing nor hiding. We are available for you. We are okay with Mark’s resignation.
Immediately, he is no longer a member of the Elevate Pass. As the remaining founders, we appeal for your understanding and patience.
We regret to tell you that cashback withdrawals will be suspended for the next few months due to a lack of trading capital.
At the time of publication, the website domain for Elevate Pass was unavailable. SimilarWeb has observed a gradual reduction in website traffic over the previous few months. Rafael Cebula hails from a location in Europe.
After acquiring British citizenship in February, Cebula stated on May 5 that he would be departing for Thailand.
The initial collapse of Elevate Pass occurred on May 11th. Cebula is still enjoying himself in Thailand.
Before Elevate Pass, Cebula was, as expected, promoting Mark Verdellen’s Impulsx Ponzi scheme.
According to SimilarWeb’s traffic estimations, the bulk of Elevate Pass’ victims originate from the United States (10%), Brazil (9%), and Iran (8%).
It is unknown how many victims Elevate has claimed and how much they have collectively lost.

Texas Moms More Likely to Die Than in Any Developed Country
While our legislature was worried about where people pee, Texas women were dying at an alarming rate.
Texas is number one in the U.S. and leads the developed world in an embarrassing statistic: pregnant women are more likely to die here.
There are any number of conclusions that one could come to here, but we obviously have a serious lack of women's health care. Some place the blame on budget cuts, while others on restrictions put in place by the state. Those claims have not been proven, but the why doesn't change the fact that the deaths are happening.
No matter what the cause, we need to change the result. This item needs to be a top legislative priority instead of the non-problems currently being addressed.

The Lions missed the playmaking ability of receiver
Broyles has been inactive the first two weeks of the season as he continues to gain strength in that right knee that suffered an ACL tear in early December of last year.
But could it finally be time for Broyles to make an impact this week in Washington?
"It's in the plan not to ease him in but not rush him back in," Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan told me Tuesday. "He may be called upon here in the near future to be back on the field."
Broyles tore the ACL in his right knee in a Dec. 2 game vs. Indianapolis at Ford Field. It was a little more than a year after tearing his left ACL as a senior at the University of Oklahoma.
At the time of his second injury, Broyles was coming off a six-catch, 126-yard performance against Houston on Thanksgiving the week prior when he injured the knee in the first quarter against the Colts.
"He has gotten a little closer to whatever that percent is where he's ready to go," said Linehan. "I think he's chomping at the bit to get in there."
Is it possible Broyles could make his season debut in Washington Sunday?
Linehan also touched on a few other trends from last week's game in Arizona:
On the play of the offensive line: "It's been a really good pocket (for
On what kind of wrench losing
"The season is early. We're two games in and we're 1-1 and that was one of those deals where it was the first injury we've dealt with. But I feel we have the depth and the guys to step in. Hopefully, we can respond where production doesn't drop off next time."
On the overall play of the offense through two weeks: "We had a lot more production as far as having success both running and throwing the first week. Last week (vs. Arizona) we had less success running the ball. There was a little bit bigger commitment from the opposition to taking the run away as far as the defensive looks. I think guys understand what we're trying to get done.
"I think we're playing smarter and more sound football in our approach with the turnover numbers at this point and the lost yardage plays in the passing game at this point. We need to eliminate the loss yardage we're getting in the run game and that will bode well for us as well."

Venture capital investing in Michigan reached an all-time high in 2021 for the amount invested, as the industry built further momentum, continued the growth trend of several years and as the state attracted more outside investors to participate in deals.
Michigan-based venture capital firms invested a record $1.38 billion into 155 companies last year through 161 deals, according to the Michigan Venture Capital Association’s 2022 Impact Report released today. That compares with $949 million in venture capital investments in 2020 across 162 deals that involved 147 companies.
Assets under management also grew to $5.4 billion, double from just four years earlier and up from $4.4 billion in 2020.
The MVCA annual report shows that over 10 years, venture capital investing in Michigan grew 600 percent in deal value, while volume increased 75 percent.
“We’ve seen a steady rise in the pace of investment over the past decade, making 2021 another record year for the venture capital community,” Jeffrey Rinvelt, the MVCA’s board chair and a partner at Renaissance Venture Capital in Detroit, wrote in the organization’s annual report.
Growth in venture capital investing across Michigan last year outpaced five other states in the Great Lakes region on a percentage basis, although Illinois, Ohio and Minnesota had more deals.
As venture capital investing grew in 2021, Michigan also attracted more out-of-state investors.
Out-of-state venture firms invested $364 million in 40 deals for Michigan-based startups, the highest deal volume ever and the second-highest dollar amount, behind only 2019’s $370 million in investments, according to the MVCA Impact Report, which tracks data back to 2006.
During 2021, 34 out-of-state firms were active in Michigan.
The increase in out-of-state capital indicates that “Michigan is not a flyover state,” as firms based in major VC markets such as San Francisco, New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles participated in deals last year for Michigan-based startups, said MCVA Executive Director Ara Topouzian.
Innovations spun out of Michigan’s research universities, particularly the University of Michigan, have helped to lure out-of-state investors, Topouzian said. The data could help to attract more out-of-state capital and convince VCs that they “need to look at Michigan” for investment prospects, he said.
“There’s some great technology and innovation that goes on in this state. You’re seeing the attraction in that regard,” he said. “We have a great startup community and there’s plenty of opportunities to build in this state.”
A majority of the venture capital investments in Michigan last year were concentrated in Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties in Southeast Michigan, which combined accounted for 112 deals for $1.17 billion on the statewide total, according to the MVCA data.

Kia has partnered up with basketball star Blake Griffin yet again in the latest Kia Optima ad campaign. The NBA player and the auto brand have been a team since 2011, when he famously dunked over an Optima. The latest ad campaign, a series of four commercials featuring the 2016 Optima, has brought the duo back together.
Kia has been an official NBA sponsor for four years now, with the Optima named as the NBA’s Official Vehicle. The new campaign, however, brings back Griffin’s signature brand of deadpan, satirical humor and combines it with the presence of regular, everyday people. The all-star invites these people to test drive the 2016 Optima and “get in The Zone” by experiencing the vehicle’s superior performance, handling, and overall quality.
The television commercial spots for the Kia Optima ad campaign will be viewable on cable, network NBA programming, and on Kia’s digital and social media channels, including its official website and YouTube account. Kia claims the company owes its incredible success with basketball fans to Griffin’s longtime partnership, acting and athletic talent, and quirky sense of humor.

Our shoes are handwoven by third-generation master artisans in Athani Village, India. 37 complex steps and many skilled hands are needed to complete each pair.
Small batches of shoes are passed between home workshops, as artisans specialize in different steps of the process. It takes years to learn these techniques: precise cutting of shapes out of thick leather, evenly measured stitches without guidelines, startlingly fast hand-weaving.
One of our favorite features, the braid-like strand that lines the edge of each shoe, is called "cavani weaving"—it holds the upper and midsole together in strong, beautiful bond that holds up over years of wear, without any adhesives. This key design element can’t be replaced by a machine.

As the Jukun/Tiv feud continues to escalate despite peace initiatives, JUSTIN TYOPUUSU seeks the opinions of local residents on how to end the crisis
Ninety-two-year-old David Mtuem perched on a chair with some trepidation at the local bar of the Camp Lavet Hotel in Magami Jalingo when our correspondent drove in to have an interview with him. More than five minutes after this reporter announced his arrival and attempted to greet him, the old man was in deep reflection was unaware of our corrrespondent presence.
After a few minutes, he suddenly turned and asked, “What are you doing here my son? Oh, you are the one for the interview? Sorry I was praying to God for intervention in this unfortunate Jukun-Tiv crisis.
“See, I am 92 years and six months old today. I was born in Wukari and my great grandfather was also born there. I was elected twice as a member representing Wukari in the defunct Gongola State House of Assembly. But today, I am considered a settler in Taraba State.
“This is the main issue in this crisis. The Tiv people are considered as settlers by the Jukun, especially in Wukari. How do we suddenly become settlers when we were together in the 18th century in what is today called Wukari?
“If the government can address this singular issue of indigeneship, then all the other issues will be resolved. We have Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi states and they are not treated as settlers. Why is it that the Jukun want every Tiv man to be confined in Benue State. We all migrated here to this place together and so we are not settlers.
“Once Governor Darius Ishaku openly addresses this issue, his kinsmen will stop their agenda of expelling us from Taraba,” Mtuem submitted.
The killing spree
Since April 1 when the crisis broke out in Kente on the Taraba/Benue border, both sides have recorded casualties. Dozens have been killed, maimed and properties destroyed.
Though the police said they didn’t have the number of people killed so far in the crisis, residents of Wukari, Donga and Takum put the casualty figure at 63.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Taraba State, David Misal, said the police had been doing a lot in quelling the crisis.
“We have held many meetings with the warring factions and have deployed our personnel in virtually all the volatile areas.
“Our men are still in the field where these killings are taking place and they have helped in ensuring the security of the area.”
Governor Darius Ishaku and his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom, have also held several meetings with stakeholders and traditional rulers from both sides to resolve the crisis, but the efforts have not yielded the desired results.
Just recently, nine people were killed in Governor Ishaku’s home town of Takum in what was said to be a reprisal of the killing of one Emmanuel Njira (a Jukun) on the farm along Takum-Wukari Road.
The attack in Takum happened same day two Tiv students and a member of staff of the Federal University, Wukari, were allegedly kidnapped and killed. The development sparked off protest, leading to the closure of the university for two weeks.
Though the university has reopened, Tiv students and workers have refused to resume for fear of being killed.
Mr Zando Hoku, the president of Jukun Youths, told our correspondent that the solution to the killings lay with the Tiv people, who he claimed, were always attacking and killing Jukun on the farm.
“The solution to the crisis is very simple; the moment the Tiv people stop attacking and killing our people on their farms, the crisis will stop. But we can’t fold our arms and watch them (Tiv) killing our people. We will definitely react. Let them stop attacking us and the crisis will end.”
But the President-General of Tiv Cultural and Social Association, Taraba State, Chief Goodman Dahida, differed on the position canvassed by the president of Jukun Youths. Dahida said the settler status ascribed to the Tiv was the main issue in the crisis, and wondered why the Jukun were not willing to talk about it.
Dahida said if the Tiv were the ones attacking, why was it that all Tiv villages in Wukari and a good number of Tiv villages in Donga and Takum had been burnt and the inhabitants displaced?
“We want peace, but there should be attitudinal change in referring to us as settlers. We are not settlers in Taraba, but indigenes. But because of an agenda against us, any crime committed in Taraba is tagged on the Tiv people.
“The whole kidnapping incident in southern Taraba was placed on Tiv, but the Wadume case has so far revealed a lot of things. Our people were killed and dumped somewhere in Takum but we followed due process and reported to the police.
“Arrests were made and the chairman of Takum was invited to Abuja. We didn’t take up arms against anybody. But when a Jukun man was killed on the farm, our people were slaughtered in Takum.
“We want government to deploy security to enable our people to return to our communities.
“If security agencies are deployed, they will unravel those killing people on the farms and you will be shocked that Tiv people might not even be among them. I think the allegation is just a ploy to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.”
Some local residents in the area who spoke on how to bring peace to the area called on Governor Ishaku to deploy adequate security and also hold the local government chairmen and traditional rulers in the affected areas responsible for any breach of the peace.
Both Jukun and Tiv are agrarian people and the crisis is worsening at a time both are supposed to be on the farms for the planting season. Farmers from both ends cannot access their farmlands, thereby systematically creating poverty and food crisis.
Thousands have been displaced and children are out of school. The humanitarian crisis has worsened as thousands have been displaced and are mostly taking refuge in poor facilities without basic human needs such as water, shelter and food.
In his contribution, Mr Atando Musa, said the crisis had not done anybody any good.
“Supposing we sent all the Tiv away from Taraba State and the Tiv sent all the Jukun in Abinse and Gbajimba packing out of Benue State, then of what benefit is it to our development as a people?
“We must, therefore, be willing and ready to build bridges of trust, make and sustain peace in the overall interest of our common progress,” Musa submitted.

One spot is open after foreign pitcher Mario Sanchez went down with a three-week diagnosis. The card the KIA bench has been playing as an alternative is a replacement starter. Kim Gun-guk (35), Kim Jae-yeol (27), and Hwang Dong-ha (21), all of whom have consistently received starting lessons from the Futures (second team), were selected as replacements. The plan was to use a “tandem,” where two of them would pitch two to three innings a game.
However, a strange trend has been taking place.
On the 29th of last month against the Gwangju NC Dinos. KIA announced Kim Gun-gook as the starter for the game, but the game was canceled due to heavy rain. The next day, KIA head coach Kim Jong-guk announced that he would start Thomas Pannoni instead of Kim Gun-guk. With the cancelation of the substitutes, the team was able to meet the normal starting rotation date. With an extra day of rest due to the cancellation of the 30th game, Pannoni took the mound on the 31st, and KIA demolished NC Dinos ace Eric Pedi for a 13-3 win and their fifth straight victory.안전놀이터
The second backup plan didn’t work out either. Kim announced Hwang Dong-ha as the first pitcher against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on May 5. “I want him to show a strong image, even if it’s not a long inning,” Kim said. However, just before the game, Jamsil Stadium suddenly received a lot of rain, and the decision was made to cancel the game. Instead of delaying Hwang Dong-ha’s start by a day, Kim opted to call up Pannoni in the original rotation.
The alternate starting pitcher game is called a “bullpen day. It’s great if the starter can throw long innings, but it’s usually labeled as an “alternate”. No matter how much preparation you do in Futures, there’s only so much you can do to overcome first-team bats, which is why most teams that use alternate starters choose to activate their bullpen early, once the batting order has gone around the bases. Win or lose, this puts a lot of pressure on the bullpen, and it’s bound to affect the rest of the game.
KIA currently has the most games remaining out of the 10 teams in the KBO. They’ve taken a leap forward recently with an eight-game winning streak, but they still have a long way to go to solidify their fall schedule. While one win is disappointing, the process of winning is also important given the number of games remaining. The team needs to avoid bullpen depletion by using substitute starters and get back to its regular starting rotation.

In 1842, Lord Ashley had brought forward a Bill on behalf of a set of people who really appeared to have been neglected by all mankind, and whose case, when exposed by Lord Ashley, startled Parliament and the country. People who move about above-ground, in the face of day, may exhibit their own case, and hope to have it considered by those who look on; but it now appeared that there was a class moving about underground, in the mines and coal-pits of England and Scotland, whose condition of suffering and brutalization exceeded all that had ever been known, or could be believed. A commission of inquiry, obtained by Lord Ashley, laid open a scene which shocked the whole country. Women were employed as beasts of burden; children were stunted and diseased, beaten, overworked, oppressed in every way; both women and children made to crawl on all-fours in the passages of the pits, dragging carts by a chain passing from the waist between the legs; and all lived in an atmosphere of filth and profligacy which could hardly leave a thought or feeling untainted by vice. This was seen at once to be a special, as well as an extreme case; and a Bill for the relief of the women and children of the colliery population was passed with a rapidity which somewhat injured its quality. It was known that a strong opposition would be raised if the thing were not done at once. It was certain that a multitude of women and children would be thrown out of employment after the passage of the Bill; and not a few persons declared the commissioners' report to be full of exaggeration; and the great permanent objection remained, of the disastrous consequences of interfering with the labor-market. The great majority of the nation, however, felt that it was better to have a large burden thrown on the parishes for a time, than to let such abuses continue; that, making every allowance for exaggeration, the facts were horrible; and that, the labor-market being already interfered with by Factory Bills, this was not the point to stop at. So the Bill passed, with some amendments which Lord Ashley submitted to, rather than wait. By this Bill, women were excluded from mining and colliery labor altogether. Boys were not to be employed under the age of ten years; and the term of apprenticeship was limited. The Secretary of State was empowered to appoint inspectors of mines and collieries, to see that the provisions of the Bill were carried out. The new law took effect after nine months from its date. The operation has, from time to time, been reported as beneficial; and, though it has been found difficult to prevent women from getting down to work in the pits after the habits of a life had made other employment unsuitable or impossible to them, the pressure upon parish or other charity funds turned out to be less than had been anticipated. It was a great thing to have put a stop to the employment of women in toil wholly unsuited to their frame and their natural duties; and to have broken in upon a system of child-slavery which could never have existed so long in our country, if it had not been hidden in the chambers of the earth.

The vaccinations are slowly but surely picking up speed. Four questions and answers on this topic:
How many people have been vaccinated in Leverkusen so far?
In the first two weeks since the vaccination campaign started, almost 1,000 doses have been ordered for ten care facilities in Leverkusen, according to the North Rhine Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVNO), which is responsible for the vaccination process.
What about citizens over 80 who do not live in a care facility?
From the third calendar week (from January 18), letters will be sent to all citizens over the age of 80, in which they will be informed about the vaccination process and how they will get their vaccination appointment.
In addition to the telephone hotline ☎ 116117, appointments should also be made online, announced KV spokesman Heiko Schmitz. He didn’t want to give any further details. The appointments for the corona vaccinations will start on January 25th. The NRW Ministry of Health confirmed this at the request of the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”.
What about people over 80 who can’t make it to the vaccination center on their own?
The city administration of Leverkusen announces that anyone over 80 years of age who needs help with transport because he or she has limited mobility should receive support. The topic is currently being discussed in a working group. However, if you are over 80 years old and completely immobile, you will have to be patient. Since the vaccine currently available from Biontech is extremely temperature-sensitive, it cannot be transported from house to house, according to the Ministry of Health. The approval of Moderna’s second vaccine could help, points out Ariane Czerwon, spokeswoman for the city administration.
Why is there no vaccination quota for Leverkusen so far?
The Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians reports all the numbers of those vaccinated to the Robert Koch Institute. However, they have not yet published up-to-date vaccination numbers, not even for individual cities or districts, explains Schmitz. The KV spokesperson explains that the reporting process is being worked on: “There may be reports to the municipalities or health authorities promptly.” City spokeswoman Czerwon also points out that a vaccination rate is only partially meaningful: there are also people who are do not want to be vaccinated for health reasons, for example because they are pregnant or have asthma.

8. Black communities, both because of race and class inequalities, suffer under aggressive and hostile police tactics. The militarization of the United States’ police departments is a national problem. This dynamic is amplified in Black communities, where for decades, American police departments have viewed them as territories to be “conquered” and its citizens as “enemy insurgents” or “combatants”. Because police see Black communities—and their residents—as threats, they are much more likely to use violence and draconian tactics against them.
9. Recent work by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, a think tank and social justice research and advocacy organization, reveals how police, street vigilantes, or security guards have killed one Black person every 28 hours.
A common scenario involves the police shooting and killing unarmed Black people who are holding harmless objects in their hands—with the former claiming that they thought that a wallet, house keys, or even a telephone were “guns” or other “dangerous” objects.
Psychologists have conducted research which suggests that implicit racial bias influences how White people (and others) may actually “see” non-Whites in a negative manner. Thus, the subconscious thinking processes of White people may actually be transforming Black people into threats where none actually exist.
Other research complements this disturbing finding: researchers at the University of Chicago and elsewhere have reported that White police officers (and others) are influenced by racial bias in their decision-making processes regarding when and if to shoot (unarmed) Black people. The research on implicit bias and racial attitudes indicates that White racial animus and subconscious racism influences how police interact with Black people—often with deadly results.
10. As Assistant Professor Vesla Weaver of Yale University deftly argued in an excellent piece for the Boston Review, Black Americans who live in low income and working class communities are denied the full rights of citizenship by an expansive, punitive, and intrusive state bureaucracy and legal system. Consequently, police are much more likely to come in contact with innocent Black people than they are Whites who are involved in criminal behavior.
As a result, White criminals are more likely to be ignored by police; innocent Black people are harassed and often arrested by the police.
Blackness is judged by the White Gaze as de facto criminality. Whiteness is judged by the White Gaze as innocent and harmless.
This racist logic creates a type of path dependency that justifies the disproportionate incarceration, harassment, and killing of Black people by the police. In a perverse twist, the over-policing of innocent Black people also offers protection for the White criminals who prey on the White community. The police reportedly have a saying that, “I’d rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6”. The governing logic is simple: if in doubt, shoot and kill someone because you would rather be alive and put on trial, than be dead and in the ground. That logic is increasingly applied in an unrestrained manner by police who see the Black body as a primordial and imminent threat, and consequently do not hesitate to use lethal, and very often, unjustified force against it.
The police channeled this racism to kill Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
The killing of unarmed Black people by American police is a human rights issue. It should also be a concern for all people, on all sides of the color line, who care about civil liberties, rights, and freedom. Why? The terrorizing of Black communities is a preview of what a militarized and fully unleashed police department, enlisted in the service of the surveillance society and a culture of cruelty, can (and will) do to White Americans in the future.

I've read the in the proposal that there will be several "event providers". Each provider will create CBE instances and sent them to the "event manager".
The user interface will be based on BIRT, or not?
My question is now, how will you manage the connection between your CBE definitions and a report? Will it possible to define the events as a data source in BIRT?
Question 2: Is there an official roadmap for milestones? Is there an alpha release available?
each event is sent to the Rule Engine ( like CEP ... ) and you can configure eBAM to save event data on DB or not. When you are defining event data you have to set some properties, for examples:
- save event data on DB
- send event data to CEP/... Engine ( optional )
If you save event data on DB, you will use these data to create Birt reports. You can also create Birt reports on data generated by Rule Engine ( if you configure eBAM to save these data on DB ).
We are releasing the source code on SVN, and we are working on the road map. We will release the first version of eBAM in july.

Property and Values offers a fresh look at property rights issues, bringing together scholars, attorneys, government officials, community development practitioners, and environmental advocates to consider new and more socially equitable forms of ownership. Based on a Harvard Law School conference organized by the Equity Trust, Inc., in cooperation with the American Bar Association's Commission on Homelessness and Poverty, the book:
explains ownership as an evolving concept, determined by social processes and changing social relations
surveys recent studies on the implications of public policy on property values
offers examples from other cultures of ownership realities unfamiliar or forgotten in the United States
compares experiments in ownership/equity allocation affecting social welfare and environmental conservation
The book synthesizes much innovative thinking on ownership in land and housing, and signals how that thinking might be used across America. Contributors – including David Abromowitz, Darby Bradley, Teresa Duclos, Sally Fairfax, Margaret Grossman, C. Ford Runge, William Singer and others – call for balance between property rights and responsibilities, between private and public rights in property, and between individual and societal interests in land.
Property and Values is a thought-provoking contribution to the literature on property for planners, lawyers, government officials, resource economists, environmental managers, and social scientists as well as for students of planning, environmental law, geography, or public policy.

Srinagar, Nov 14 : Encounters ensued between militants and security forces at two places in south Kashmir early Tuesday morning, official sources said.
Acting on a specific information about the presence of militants, Rashtriya Rifles (RR), Special Operation Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir police and CRPF launched a joint search operation at Naubugh in Qazigund in Kulgam district of south valley.
However, when the security forces were moving towards a particular area, the militants opened fire, they said.
Security forces also retaliated, ensuing an encounter, sources told News Agency, adding that all exit points were sealed.
Details are awaited.


The pressure inside the cooling circuits should remain evenly distributed from the inlet circuit pressure to the outlet circuit pressure. Large pressure drops in the cooling circuits are caused by cooling problems, such as the bubbler or the baffle dimensions being too small.
This result can be checked to determine the flow direction in parallel cooling circuits. The pressure will be highest at the coolant inlet and lowest at the coolant outlet.
NoteThis result does not take into account the pressure loss due to external cooling lines, fittings, and so forth.
Things to look for
When viewing the Circuit pressure result, check the following:

To the surprise of everyone in the courtroom, terrorist leader Yasin Malik walked into the Supreme Court on Friday without the court's permission and created a flutter in the packed hall.
Malik, the chief of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), is serving a life term in a terror funding case in Delhi's Tihar Jail. He has dozens of pending cases against him, ranging from abduction to murder, including the well-known cases of murder of Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel in Srinagar and the abduction of Rubaiya Sayeed.
Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta wrote to Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla and flagged the incident as "serious security lapse".
Malik appeared in the court when the SC bench of Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta was hearing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) appeal against the September 20, 2022 order of a trial court in Jammu in the 1989 kidnapping case of Rubaiya, the daughter of then-Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, allowing Malik to personally appear in court and cross-examine the witnesses, reported PTI, adding that the CBI had told the court that Malik was a threat to national security and cannot be allowed to be taken outside the Tihar jail premises.
Malik was produced in the court by jail authorities as they likely misinterpreted an earlier court order, reported PTI. Mehta highlighted that there is a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) order that prevents authorities from taking Malik out of jail.
Visuals of Malik arriving at the Supreme Court premises in an armed police escort were shared by media.

Misunderstanding led to Malik's appearance in SC: Report
Voicing surprise at his presence, Mehta told a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta that there was a procedure for high-risk convicts to be allowed into the courtroom to argue their case personally, according to PTI.
The Supreme Court had on April 24 issued notices on CBI's appeal, following which Malik wrote a letter to the registrar of the Supreme Court on May 26 seeking permission to appear in person to plead his case, following which an assistant registrar took up his request on July 18 and said the apex court would pass necessary orders, reported PTI, adding that this was apparently misconstrued by Tihar jail authorities as saying that Malik had to be presented before SC to argue his case.
The SC bench also said that it had not granted permission for Malik's production in the court.
"When Mehta pointed at Malik's presence in the courtroom, the bench said it had not granted him permission or passed any order allowing him to argue his case in person. Justice Kant said Justice Datta has recused himself from the matter and it will now be placed before Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud for listing it before an appropriate bench. Justice Datta did not give any reason for recusing himself from the case," reported PTI.
SG Tushar Mehta writes to Home Secretary, flags security lapse
Mehta termed the incident a "heavy security lapse" and wrote to the Union Home Secretary about the incident.
"It is a heavy security issue. He (Malik) has been brought to court because of callous approach of jail authorities and necessary steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen in future. He is a national threat. He is a huge security threat to others," Mehta said, reported PTI, adding that he said Malik was brought to the court due to "misinterpretation" of some order.
"It is my firm view that this is serious security lapse. A person with terrorist and secessionist background like Yasin Malik who is not only a convict in terror funding case but has known connections with terror organisations in Pakistan could have escaped, could have been forcibly taken away or could have been killed," Mehta wrote to the Home Secretary, as per PTI, adding that even the security of the Supreme Court would have been put to a serious risk if any untoward incident were to happen.
"In any view of the matter so long as the order under section 268 of CrP Code subsists, jail authorities had no power to bring him out of jail premises nor did they have any reason to do so," he said, adding, "I consider this to be a matter serious enough to once again bring it to your personal notice so that suitable action/steps can be taken at your end."
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who also appeared for the CBI, said the court may clarify and pass necessary orders to ensure such an incident doesn't happen again, reported PTI.
After Kant said in-person argument by an accused was not a problem anymore with the apex court allowing virtual hearing these days, Mehta contended the CBI was ready to allow Malik to argue via video conference but he was refusing to appear virtually, reported PTI.
Mehta referred to the CBI's contention in its appeal against the trial court order to bring Malik to Jammu for in-person examination of the witnesses in the Rubaiya Sayeed kidnapping case, and said under section 268 of the CrPC a state government may direct certain people to not be shifted from the confines of a prison, reported PTI.
The SC bench then asked Mehta to present his arguments before another bench that will be constituted after Datta's recusal, and listed the matter after four weeks.
What's the case about?
On September 20, 2022, a special TADA court in Jammu had directed that Malik be produced before it physically on the next date of hearing so he can be given an opportunity to cross examine the prosecution witnesses in the Rubaiya Sayeed kidnapping case, pertaining to the abduction of Sayeed in 1989. She was eventually freed in lieu of five terrorists' release.
The CBI challenged the Jammu court's order of the trial court directly before the Supreme Court as appeals in TADA cases can only be heard in the top court.
Rubaiya was abducted by armed terrorists on December 8, 1989 at around 3:45 pm in Srinagar, when she was returning to her home from Lal Ded Memorial Hospital where she was a medical intern. Her father Mufti Mohammed had taken over as the Union Home Minister just six days back.
The JKLF claimed the abduction and demanded the release of five terrorists for her release — Abdul Hamid Sheikh, Sher Khan, Noor Mohammad Kalwal, Altaf Ahemed and Javed Ahemed Jargar. The terrorists were eventually released and Rubaiya was freed, despite opposition from the-then J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah.
The episode is considered one of the turning points of Kashmir and reports from the time say that lakhs of people came out in the streets at the time in support of the terrorists.
Journalist Aasha Khosa told Rediff News, "There was no sympathy for Rubaiya. The people were all with the militants."
Khosa said the outburst on streets drove home the popular support for militancy.
She said, "The kidnapping was a shock. The security personnel did not have a clue. Till then everyone was treating militancy as a joke. People used to say, 'hey, my cousin has become a militant, he has a gun now'. The Rubaiya episode changed all that. It made people realise that there was major trouble in Kashmir. When the militants were released, there was celebration all around. I have never seen so many people on the streets! They sang, danced and raised anti-India slogans."
Delhi Prisons Department says 'prima facie lapse', orders probe
After drawing flak for producing Malik in the Supreme Court without any order or permission, the Delhi Prisons Department said it was a "prima facie lapse" and ordered an inquiry.
Deputy Inspector General (Prisons-Headquarters) Rajiv Singh will conduct the inquiry to find out the lapse and fix the responsibility of erring officials and submit a report to the Director General (Prisons) within three days, according to an official statement cited by PTI.
In a statement, the Delhi Prisons Department said, "On Friday, Yasin Malik was produced physically in the Supreme Court by the officials of Central Jail number 7. Prima facie, the lapse was observed on the part of concerned jail officials.
"The Director General (Prisons) has ordered a detailed inquiry in the matter to be conducted by Deputy Inspector General (Headquarters) (Prisons) Rajiv Singh to find out the lapse and fix the responsibility of erring officials. The report will be submitted within three days to DG Prisons," it added, as per PTI.
