When Jenna moved into her house in the California countryside, she had some dated details to contend with. Just off the entry to her home was a dining room, complete with recessed bar, and a kitchen that was closed off except for a pass-through to the dining room. It wasn’t ideal for entertaining or for Jenna’s aesthetic. After five months of renovating, you’ll barely recognize this transformed kitchen and dining area. Take a look!

I love Christmastime. This year I’m excited to escape up to the old Bavarian town of Leavenworth, Wash., where we’ve rented a cabin for both sides of the family to come and reconnect with each other.
It’s gorgeous up there and I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time now. More than that, I’m really excited that both Megan-Kate’s and my family will be able to gather together for the holidays. With my family from Pennsylvania and hers from Washington, they’ve only met each other a few times, the first time being at our wedding.
There’s just so much to be thankful for this season. I’m thankful for Megan-Kate and our love for each other. I’m thankful for our farm and the ways God has blessed us in our efforts on it. I’m thankful that our family and friends are all healthy and happy this time of year.
I’m thankful for times to unplug and get away from all the distractions of our world. Recently, my father-in-law and I took a hunting trip out in the mountains of Montana, where there was no cell phone coverage. It was so nice to be able to connect with him and enjoy the majesty of God’s creation. The scope and beauty of the mountains and the wildlife was just spectacular.
It’s important to unplug every once in awhile. I look for opportunities to do so often. In our society we have almost constant distractions, with the chance to interact with millions of people daily. Sometimes the noise around us gets so loud that we miss the little things and forget to be present in each moment we’re given. People are often so busy snapping pictures of what they’re doing or where they are that they miss experiencing the beauty of it with their own eyes; instead they only see an imitation of it through a lens. And more often than not, they forget to go back and enjoy the photo they just had to take. Think how much greater your memories can be when you actually stop to watch with your own eyes and take in the moment!
More than that, we need to quiet our minds and unplug because God’s voice is usually a whisper. When we’re too distracted to listen, we can’t focus on what the Spirit may be leading us to.
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” — Romans 8:14
I’m thankful for memories. There was the time when I was on the Reds in 2012-13 and we clinched the playoffs, or the time with the Diamondbacks when all our hard work throughout the season culminated in our making the wildcard. I remember the day I married Megan-Kate, our honeymoon, the day we bought our first house, and that All-Star break trip we took to the middle of nowhere Ohio. I remember the day I was first called up to the big leagues, and immediately after when I was able to call my parents and tell them the news.
Memories are a gift.
This time of year is a great time to make new memories with friends and family — memories that last. Being able to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ is all the more sweet when you can celebrate with those you love the most, showing gratitude for all God has blessed you with.

The first thing that strikes one about this impressive book is its size and format: printed landscape with the binder and pages opening upwards it was significantly hard to hold or to read. Rather like a car with gull-wing doors, the effect is to obstruct one’s view and make it unfamiliar to operate. Added to this, the photographs are invariably printed on the upper portion of the page and one is left leaning over a full blank page to look at the bending underside of the top page precariously held open. The publisher, Giorgio Baravalle, continues to push the boundaries of photography book design and his recent successes have all in some way reinvented the alignment, positioning and functioning of texts, pictures and the pages themselves. It is refreshing to see a book treated so uniquely and the design to be so conceptualised. But in some instances the predominance of style and structure at the expense of narrative is overbearing and unwieldy.
For 16 years Kratochvil has been variously assigned to cover stories for magazine and environmental clients. In Vanishing he has compiled 16 of his “stories” from these years to focus our attention sharply on the things he feels are not good with the planet. Indeed the introductory page opens with a polemic about the measure of all things good and bad: “How are things?” he asks. “Not bad,” is the presupposed reply … “Not bad? Huh, let me tell you,” is the implied conversation that follows … and with that Kratochvil begins his “tour through endangered life-forms and ruined environments, human catastrophes and destruction, resulting in vanishing cultures” (and Vanishing the book).
The images are dark, as is Kratochvil’s preference for his black and white photography, and the printing is slightly warm toned – even the pages are a gentle shade of nicotine yellow. Following in his footsteps we trace his 16 man-made disasters as we travel from Beirut to Cambodia and Bolivia to Zimbabwe, each place with its own particular experience of human and environmental injustice. Yet in Azerbaijan we are treated to a solitary image of a sturgeon being held up as a trophy by a bunch of shady-looking men. Are we expected to equate this with the environmental destruction of the species?
In Prague, anti-globalisation protests are treated in much the same way as the oily scarred landscapes of Iraq. The horizon is off kilter and the heavy black of the photograph’s shadow areas sucks the light out of the image.
The fact that one story supposes to tell of resistance and public action whilst the other tells of corporate and global exploitation seems irrelevant to Kratochvil’s approach. Protest is portrayed as pollution and the pollution itself as his own protest in the setting of this book.
The most successful images, for me, were undoubtedly the chapters on Ecuador and Bohemia. Kratochvil has taken the landscapes of these places and made them his own, infusing them with both beauty and ugliness. The pristine jungle is obscured by his contaminating lens as he exposes the wanton waste and toxicity of man’s quest for oil, whilst across the globe another view is exposed. Behind the Iron Curtain he shows us a land that has been plundered and defiled. In the Czech Republic acid rain falls on the colourless grime of Brux in central Bohemia. Kratochvil’s style is the perfect accompaniment to this drab inky landscape. There are many other memorable chapters: from the tin mines of Bolivia to the diamond mines of Angola, Vanishing is an important chronicle of the rape of our planet.
It is a shame, therefore, when the impact of the book is unavoidably weakened with less suitable images. Some stories such as “Home Grown Fear” – Kratochvil’s version of New York under siege post 9/11, with its obscure blurred views of police barricades, the Statue of Liberty and the railing outside the mayor’s residence – do little to extend the argument and their inclusion is confusing. No doubt the images are atmospheric and emotionally charged, yet their relevance alongside the stories of animal traders in the Congo or cyanide mining in Guyana was lost on me.
Nevertheless, the book impresses the reader with is purpose to unsettle. Facts and pertinent quotations add to our outrage when viewing the images: oil companies, mineral extractors, dealers and global financiers are all so obviously guilty of the destruction, Kratochvil points out. Yet by his own admission he offers no answers, just the question: “How are things?” And then the finger points at us, the readers, for having the gall to reply “Not too bad.”

The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal.

Last year was a bloody year for the television industry. The rapid descent of Covid-19 around the globe shut down television channels and resulted in a drought in advertising revenue. Consumers stuck at home continued to cut cables or otherwise switch to streaming even faster than before. And just as a sense of recovery was imminent, cases began to rise again: first in the Midwest and now in almost every state in the United States, ruining any hope of a quick, V-shaped recovery.
But at the beginning of 2021 things are starting to get better – kind of.
By mid-November, the advertising figures in the 25 largest television channels had returned to the level of 2019 for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the measurement company Kantar. This is a promising sign that advertising spending for broadcasters is finally moving in the right direction. And TV executives at companies like Comcast, Disney, and ViacomCBS, which saw their advertising revenue drop by between a quarter and a third in the second quarter, have been cautiously optimistic about a rebound in recent months to investors.
“We’re encouraged by what we’re seeing and, by and large, advertising is certainly moving in the right direction,” ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish told investors in November after third quarter advertising revenue was just up 6% down from a 27% decline in the second quarter. John Stankey, CEO of AT&T, said in late October, as the company’s advertising revenue stabilized, “I think we’re not in the woods at this point, from the cold in the middle of the pandemic to one where we are Feel that we can get hours [of programming] produced and preferred. “
The industry is recalibrating
However, this optimism remains precarious. The notion of a rebound in television advertising sales comes with a re-calibration of industry expectations for what the advertising landscape will look like now, given that Covid-19 has changed so much consumer habits and their much weaker economic realities. “Restoration is really about how we position ourselves in this new normal,” said Gregory Aston, global director of research, digital promotional intelligence at intelligence firm Kantar.
There are early signs that TV advertising revenue will be more robust in the New Year. National television advertising revenue is projected to increase 5% in 2021, according to intelligence company Magna Global. This is being funded by investments related to the planned Tokyo Summer Olympics, which will raise an estimated $ 800 million. With these projections for the television advertising sales landscape dependent on economic recovery and the assumption that tentpole programming events will continue as planned, it is not surprising that the industry is eagerly awaiting the launch of the new Biden government’s pandemic response meeting Make early decisions about how this will affect consumer and advertiser activity.
“The condition [to recovery] it is obvious that Covid is under control in the first half of [next] Year, ”said Vincent Létang, evp, Managing Director of Magna Global Market Intelligence. “That doesn’t mean everyone is vaccinated, but enough people need to be vaccinated so that the number of cases and hospitalizations falls below the threshold that can remove most of the restrictions on business and mobility in most parts of the country.”
Where to spot signs of recovery
Vaccinations alone will not restore TV ad sales. Experts watch the travel, retail and automotive sectors return to television advertising to understand broader trends in consumer confidence and the health of national television media spending. Overall, according to Kantar, these three sectors account for around a quarter of total advertising expenditure. Rising advertising dollars in these areas will play an important role in stimulating other forms of peripheral economic activity.

Two trade paperbacks by Catherynne M. Valente:
- The Orphan’s Tales: In the Night Garden
- The Orphan’s Tales: In the Cities of Coin & Spice
And two hardcovers:
- Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay
- Enchanted Hunters by Maria Tatar
The bad news is that Under Heaven will probably need to be returned. It’s a little banged up, and for some odd reason the text on the back of the book jacket is smeared.
A new(ish) Kay novel is always cause for celebration, and it has gotten rave reviews just about everywhere I’ve looked.
Enchanted Hunters has been on my radar for a year or so, since I read a review by AS Byatt in The Guardian. Tatar is a Harvard University professor, and the book is a study of children’s stories, of what children want and need from stories, and how what they take away from those stories is not always what adults (parents) imagine it to be. The risqué title is taken from the name of the hotel in Lolita where Humbert Humbert first debauches his nymphette (or, as Humbert says, “Frigid gentlewomen of the jury…I am going to tell you something very strange: it was she who seduced me.”)
The central argument of the book seems to be that the mind of a child feeds on a mix of beauty and horror. Nothing exceptionally new there, though I think she wants to show that the darker sides of fairy tales and children’s literature – those things that we so often try to sanitize for children – are the very things that give the stories their power. But I’ll withhold further comment until after I’ve read more than the jacket blurb.
The two books by Catherynne M. Valente have also been on my “want” list for a while. The first of the two, In the Night Garden was a 2007 World Fantasy Award nominee and the pair won the 2008 Mythopoeic Award. I’ve not previously read any of Valente’s novels, but I have experienced (yes, that’s the right word) some of her short fiction in Clarkesworld Magazine.
Her prose is beautifully surreal. Dreamlike. I strongly recommend you check out her short story, available online, “Urchins, While Swimming”. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to these.

The most recent COVID-19 bill, officially called the U.S. Rescue Plan Act 2021, signed by President Joe Biden on March 11, 2021, contains an estimated $ 10 billion in aid funds that have land. (See § 3206). These funds will provide money to states to set up programs to deter negative people and those who own another land. Once the state program is established, landowners who are financially infected from the coronavirus pandemic can receive financial assistance for mortgage diversion, utility and internet payments, and other costs needed to prevent foreclosure, mortgage crime, default, or negative.
The Array Assistant Fund follows the success of the Hardest Hit Fund, founded in 2010, which provided millions of dollars to 18 states and the District of Columbia to help landowners who struggled to remain negative during the Great Recession and related mortgage crises. These counties and Washington, D.C., each have programs designed by state housing agencies to distribute money and help people with difficult lands. The applications offer a variety of ways to maintain homeowners’ homes, such as loan assistance, loan assistance, and repayment of a second loan. While countries had until the end of 2020 to use Hardest Hit money, some governments ended the program earlier because the allocated money had run out. In other countries, programs continue to be open or open to help those who have land damaged by COVID-19.
The fund helps landowners to expand this model by providing government assistance to all countries that help landowners to live in the world. In fact, governments must claim the money, and the amount earned by each state will be based on the average number of people not employed in that state measured over a period of not more than three months and not more than 12 months, the same as the total number of loans and mortgage payments for more than 30 days or a loan. The state plans to provide funds for homeowners facing financial difficulties due to COVID-19 after January 21, 2020, to pay eligible mortgages and housing costs, including:
States must allocate the funds allocated to them through the fund by September 30, 2025. To learn more about homeowner assistance programs in your area, contact the state housing finance agency. However, homeowners will not be able to receive assistance until states establish eligibility criteria and develop a resource allocation plan. That process will take time, and most programs can be launched in early 2022.
President Joe Biden signed a U.S. bailout plan Thursday, releasing $ 1.9 trillion with the goal of reviving the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill will raise $ 1,400 in direct payments to people up to $ 75,000 a year, and state and local governments will receive $ 350 billion in aid and $ 14 billion for vaccine circulation. More than $ 50 billion will be distributed to small businesses – including $ 7 billion for the Earnings Protection Program – and $ 25 billion for small and medium-sized restaurants. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said direct deposits could reach U.S. bank accounts as early as this weekend. For the housing industry, Biden’s U.S. aid plan is a big hit at a time when house prices are high, supplies are low, and millions are struggling to pay rent and mortgages. In particular, the account allocates $ 22 billion in emergency rents to the Coronavirus Support Fund.
To receive financial support for rent, utilities, and other household expenses, a household must meet a number of conditions: the total household income may not exceed 80% of the average household income. At least one family member must be at risk of becoming homeless or having instability in the home, and individuals in households must qualify for unemployment due to the pandemic. According to White House officials, preferential assistance will be provided to low-income families who have been out of work for three months or more. About $ 10 billion will go to homeowners struggling with mortgage payments, and $ 100 million of the bill will be devoted to housing counseling. White House officials also said $ 5 billion would be set aside to fight homelessness by sheltering some buildings. Another $ 5 billion will be used for emergency housing evidence. Finance Minister Janet Yellen will now take on the main task of overseeing the passage of the bill, which is quickly being passed by Congress through the budget finalization process. Yellen said that while the numbers may not be immediately clear, Thursday is an “important day” for the U.S. economy.
“I believe that if the American inflation policy is passed, Americans will be free from the plague while maintaining the foundations of life,” Yellen said. Our Treasury team will do its utmost to promote recovery. We are committed to implementing rescue policy actions, including economic impact payments, comprehensive child tax payments, support for employers, sufferers, and homeowners, and support to national, local, and tribal governments. The Mortgage Association has issued a statement praising the legalization, saying it will strengthen the entire rental and real estate market. Robert Broeksmit, CEO of the MBA, said, “We are especially grateful for the legal provisions that provide additional assistance to employers, homeowners, and businesses, especially retail and grocery stores.”
Sunia Zaterman, executive director of the National Housing Council, said: “This law is also historical because it represents the largest federal investment since the program started 55 years ago by a large social organization. Today is known as the Residence Voucher Program. The American Poverty Reduction Act will halve the estimated poverty level this year. Since the introduction of the Bill of Rights, this historic investment in poverty alleviation and housing opportunities is one of the most important steps to eliminate racial inequality.”

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A Fort Worth police task force that reviewed hundreds of cases handled by a crimes-against-children detective before his July firing has issued 85 arrest warrants.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the 13-member task force audited about 1,100 cases out of about 2,700 cases assigned to former detective Dennis Hutchins over 14 years with the Fort Worth Police Department crimes against children unit.
Last March, a children’s advocate asked Hutchins’ supervisor for an update on a victim’s 2014 case. The supervisor discovered the case hadn’t filed and the juvenile suspect had reached adulthood and could no longer be prosecuted. He said Hutchins told him “he simply forgot and lost track of the case.”
Hutchins’ attorney, Terry Daffron, has said Hutchins suffered from “burnout” because of crushing caseloads and insufficient staffing.

Panelists: Melissa F. Olson, Wesley Chu, Trisha Woolridge, Liz Gorinsky, Sally Weiner Grotta
Sally announces Pixel Hall Press party. There will be writers’ guidelines there.
Sally: What do readers want from writer?
Melissa: Lots of books coming out. Writers need a new way to become important to readers. Also, social media opportunities.
Wesley: Readers want to be interactive. Get closer to the world they’re reading about.
Trisha: In YA/MG, marketing is also to parents, librarians and teachers. Networking, interaction on line and at conferences.
Liz: Connections with communities. By doing this, you can connect with dozens of your readers at the same time. Book release sites. Talk to writers of similar stuff.
Sally: What about serialization?
Patreon–serialization of novels. Base of people. Better with established relationships.
Some writers can write serialization. Other authors prefer to have entire novel written first.
Crowd Sourcing: Holly Lisle sends out her first draft to a mailing list.
1000 strong readers can support you for life.
Book tours: Some people design their own. Overall, this is an impractical way of reaching readers.
Try a focused even like World Con.
Blog tours are also a good idea.
You can do stock signings at book stores.
Touring with other authors or being on panels with other authors is a good idea.
Make sure you have questions and choices of topics. Don’t go ni cold.
Specific etiquette on how you act on social media. Sell your book by selling yourself. Most people and readers are interested in the author and their personality.
Book blogging. Usually, there are specific guidelines.
For bookstores, have a press release and photo ready. Make sure your book has an ISBN.
Talking to book clubs is always a good idea.
Watch out for people who sell services to independent writers. They can feed on your dreams.
Chu’s blog tour. Thirty-six posts in 3 weeks. One every day. Shock and awe!!!! Entertainment is number one.
Have friends and use them….but not in a bad way. Show up for author friends, and they show up for you.
Email list. Some like it, some feel it is old school. It can provide readers with material between books.
Trisha loves conventions. Also study guides. School visits.
Melissa uses a newsletter.
Release materials can come from publishers to fans first.
Time considerations: Does this eat your time? What’s the return on your investment. Do I write more books?
Some writers write a week’s worth of web content on the weekend.
Do what is suited to you. Don’t do everything.
Melissa uses short blocks of time for social media, and long blocks of time for writing.


VANCOUVER — Seven years ago, with the Olympics fast approaching, newly elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson vowed to marshal the city’s “brightest minds” and end homelessness once and for all by 2015.
On Tuesday, Mr. Robertson acknowledged that the pledge was an obvious failure, but provided an explanation: Vancouver is too balmy.
“Vancouver, given our warmer weather, has a bigger challenge than most,” he said at a Downtown Eastside press conference in the midst of the city’s annual homeless count.
Later he added, “B.C. faces a bigger challenge because it’s warmer than the rest of Canada.”
Warm weather, in fact, was drawing people “all down the West Coast,” said the mayor.
All told, by one reporter’s count, Mr. Robertson mentioned warm weather four times in the 15-minute press conference.
As Canada’s most temperate major city — and the only city that can spend an entire winter virtually snow-free — Vancouver has always contended with an unusually large share of the country’s homeless population.
This time last year, an official count identified 1,803 homeless, of which 1,267 were sheltered and 536 were sleeping on the street. This was double the 273 found the year before, and far larger than the 154 counted in 2011.
Toronto, despite having 1.9 million more people than Vancouver, counted only 447 homeless people sleeping outdoors in its latest survey. Calgary has nearly 400,000 more people and counted only 215 sleeping rough in January.
“There’s something to what the mayor is suggesting,” said Jay Freeman, executive director of the Edmonton Homeless Commission.
Mr. Freeman noted that many of Vancouver’s West Coast sister cities are indeed home to higher-than-average homeless populations.
In a 2013 count, five of the seven largest homeless populations in the United States were based in West Coast cities: Los Angeles, San Jose, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
Edmonton, for its part, does not have to worry about weather-related homeless migration. Instead, during times of economic boom the Alberta capital regularly experiences influxes of unskilled labour who quickly find themselves living on the street.
“People come to Edmonton thinking the roads are paved with gold,” said Mr. Freeman.
“There are more homeless coming, but also the population is changing,” said Vancouver city councillor Kerry Jang in an email to the National Post.
The new homeless hail from “across Canada,” said Mr. Jang, and are younger, more racked with addiction problems and more likely to be mentally ill.
Down the coast, the situation is also much the same in Portland, with growing homeless populations being fuelled by a surge of new arrivals.
“People, especially youth, are staying homeless for longer, and are showing up with more challenges, a higher level of need than we’ve seen in years past,” Mary Li, a local government representative, told Portland media in January.
Under Mr. Robertson’s administration, a large component of the city’s anti-homelessness strategy has centred around a drive to build millions of dollars in new social housing units.
During the November election, campaign materials boasted that “600 new units of social housing are opening throughout Vancouver this year.”
In a fall interview with the National Post, former Vancouver mayor Philip Owen criticized the policy as short-sighted, arguing that all it was doing was attracting new ranks of homeless from across Canada.
“You just keep dumping money in, building social housing and filling it up with people from all around the region and the country … is that good policy?”
It was during Mr. Owen’s 1990s administration, in fact, that a persistent myth was born alleging that Alberta premier Ralph Klein was providing the unemployed with one-way bus tickets to Vancouver in order to get them off his province’s welfare rolls.
In truth, the apparent exodus of Alberta’s poor was part of a program that paid the travel expenses of welfare recipients looking to return home. It just so happened that most used the program to travel to sunny British Columbia.
On Tuesday, Mr. Robertson said he had “no regrets” about promising to end homelessness, and also blamed rising rents at Downtown Eastside rental properties, which he said were out of reach for the $375 monthly housing allowance provided by B.C. social assistance.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is in favour of the Government's plans to set a minimum price for alcohol, but said "it is normal" for cabinet ministers to have differing views on the issue with reports suggesting it is to be scrapped in next week's budget.
Like the Prime Minister I believe there is a case for minimum pricing, but we must wait for the results of the consultation (from the Home Office). When we have released those results the Government will announce its decision.
It is normal for cabinet ministers to have differing views.

text:
We are in an era where demonization of the opposing side is expressed via tweets and clever memes, oft formulated by willful misinterpretations of what the other side truly meant, all for dramatic effect. Aggression displayed digitally.
That aspect of post-modernism where we subtract the authorial intent and choose to interpret the message in the most negative light possible has become mainstream in our responses to anything political. Such responses are influenced by pundits and biased news media organizations on both sides of the political spectrum. News is filtered and spun in light of an agenda. Narrative now ranks higher than truth. News neutrality is a thing of the past. People talk about how politicians are dividing our country more than ever, but I hold journalism sources at least equally responsible.
As Sean points out, we fail to take the time to listen to the other side. We lack empathy. Parent A is anti-gun because they lost a child to a gun incident. Parent B is pro-gun because they were able to use a gun to fend off armed home invaders and thus protected their child. Both of these individuals have a value basis for their stance, but their messages are drowned out by the regurgitated insults, biased articles, and narratives.
Facts are problematic for people. Why? Because people want to believe their viewpoint is solid, and if facts threaten their belief, they react with dismissive and/or insulting commentary instead of taking the time to evaluate the facts and allowing evidence to shape their view. Political group think is disturbing because it causes people to preserve a narrative by ignoring facts and avoiding dialog. If you associate with political party A, then you feel pressured to take their side on all subjects and automatically dislike party B.
Yes, there are both intelligent and not-so-intelligent people on both sides, but what irks me is when one side labels the other in a derogatory way as if that dismisses value statements coming from the opposing side. Wall Street Occupiers were dismissed as lazy people with no ambition who emerged from their parents’ basement. Tea Party members were dismissed as racist rednecks. These allegations were lobbed by hosts/anchors/talking heads on cable news networks to drown out the messages coming from the Occupiers and Tea Partiers, despite the absence of validity of these derogatory allegations.
In conclusion, I appreciate the noble effort by Sean in this article, however I doubt we’ll see healing in our lifetimes. I fear things will only get worse.

GREENWELL Point oyster farmer Jim Wild has lost up to 25 per cent of his crop in the recent record hot weather.
As the temperatures soared in early January, Mr Wild estimated he had lost between 2500 and 3000 dozen oysters valued at between $15,000 and $20,000.
And as the area rejoices in the rain over the weekend, that has caused another headache for the former world champion opener and his fellow oyster farmers with the Food Authority closing the Shoalhaven River to harvesting after it received more than 100mm of rain.
“It’s been a bit of a double whammy,” said Mr Wild, whose shed is located right on the Shoalhaven River at the Oyster Farm Development Site.
“First we lose oysters due to the heat and now the river is closed because it has received too much fresh water.”
The drama started on Tuesday, January 8 when the Shoalhaven was in the grip of a heatwave and bushfire emergency.
“As temperatures soared past 40 the tide was out and the oyster leases located in front of Goodnight Island were exposed and copped the whole impact of the heat,” he said.
“People were saying it was 43 or 44 here on that day and a quarter of the crop was devastated.
“It’s like they just cooked in their shells.”
Mr Wild said it was lucky when the area hit a new record 45.4 the following Friday that the tide was in and he suffered no losses.
“It could have been much worse. We could have lost up to 5000 dozen, but still up to 3000 dozen is a pretty significant loss.
“It’s just part of nature – it levels a lot of us out.”
As far as he knows he is the only local oyster farmer to lose stock.
More than 100mm falling at Greenwell Point has forced the Food Authority to close the Shoalhaven River.
“We are only allowed between 25 and 50mm before the authority can close the river to harvesting,” he said.
“When this sort of thing happens we are usually closed for around eight or nine days and I’d say it will be the same again now.
“When it looks like we are going to get significant rain in harvest time we try to remove around eight or nine days worth of oysters so we can keep selling normally.”
Mr Wild said it could still be a couple of days before the full extent of the fresh water hits the lower reaches of the river.
“We are hearing the dam levels were low prior to the rain, so hopefully the authorities won’t let any water go, maybe just let it spill over the top. That is far better than letting the stagnant de-oxygenated water from the bottom of the dam out.
“All that does is kill everything on its way down, it’s not just bad for oyster growers but also for all the young developing fish and prawns.

On Tuesday, a $10 million donation was made by author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who selected UWSELA following a thorough review over nearly 6,500 organizations. Ms. Scott’s contribution is the single largest gift to UWSELA in its 96-year history.
2020 shed light on the disparities UWSELA has focused on for years through its Blueprint for Prosperity, the nonprofit’s plan to eradicate poverty in its service area of Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Washington and Tangipahoa parishes. The contribution will accelerate UWSELA’s ability to fund the Blueprint’s proven, long-term strategies for creating systemic change and equitable communities.
UWSELA President and CEO Michael Williamson shared the following statement in gratitude: “Faced with a once-in-a-generation challenge, Southeast Louisiana stepped up in response to the impacts of COVID-19 and hurricanes. United Way staff, donors, volunteers, and partners came together in an unprecedented way, generating over $16 million in impact – and their efforts were noticed in a grand way.”


Washington: The melting of Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ could lead to a major rise in the world’s sea level. This glacier is named because of its rapid melting, which means cataclysm. Its original name is Thwaites Glacier. Now scientists are concerned that the rate of its melting may be faster than expected, which will lead to a big change in sea level. Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier (Doomsday Glacier) is capable of raising sea level by several feet. Its size is equal to that of Britain. Amidst such concerns, due to the rising temperature of the earth, this glacier is melting from the bottom to the top of the sea.
In a study published in Nature Geoscience, scientists have done historical mapping of glaciers to know how the glacier will be in the future. In this he found that in two centuries the base of the glacier separated from the sea. Since then it has been melting every year at the rate of 2.1 km. This is more than double the rate scientists have observed in the past decade.

Sea level may rise by 3 feet
Alistair Graham, the lead author of this research and a marine geophysicist at the University of South Florida, said that in the middle of the 20th century, this glacier rapidly disappeared. But there is a possibility of this glacier melting even more rapidly in the future. If this glacier melts completely, then according to an estimate, a rise in sea level of up to three feet is possible. Due to this, there will be a big loss to the countries connected with the coastal areas. If we talk about the damage, then it can be understood that in the last three decades, the sea level has risen by less than a foot and many areas of the world have seen heavy floods due to this change. If this glacier melts completely, then we may have to redraw the sea boundary.

Big changes will happen in a small time
Study co-author Robert Larter, a marine geophysicist and study co-author from the British Antarctic Survey, said the Thwaites Glacier is indeed a cause for concern and the coming future could see large-scale changes in a short period of time. Its effect can be seen only next year. Alistair Graham said the findings contradict earlier assumptions that the Antarctic ice sheet would slowly melt. The team will take sediment samples in the coming time for an accurate estimate of the time.


174 Kenyans stuck in Saudi Arabia due to Covid-19 restrictions repatriated
The Kenyan Embassy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia working with Saudi Airlines on Wednesday repatriated 174 Kenyans who had been stuck in the foreign country since March.
The Saudia embassy, in a statement, said the Kenyans left the port city of Jeddah at 7:45am aboard one of the flights.
“The Embassy, in conjunction with Saudi Airlines, successfully repatriated 174 Kenyans from Kingdom this morning. The Flight, SV431, departed at 7.45 am from the port city of Jeddah,” the statement said.
In April, a Kenyan died of Covid-19 in Saudi Arabia and, according to Kenyan ambassador to Saudi Arabia Peter Ogego, the victim had an underlying medical condition prior to the pandemic.
Mr Ogego had earlier sent a message to Kenyans in the middle eastern country telling them to abide by the measures put in place by authorities to combat the new virus.
Since April, the embassy temporarily suspended its normal operations and consular services until further notice.
The envoy said this was in line with the country’s elaborate efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus and to reduce any risk of infection to staff and clients.
During the period, members of staff of the embassy have been working virtually and are on duty call.
Embassies in Kenya have been working with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and other government agencies to facilitate travel of their citizens back home.

'We aren't targeting people based on race': Immigration Minister defends spot checks at railway stations... but won't tell us ethnicity of those they stopped
- Mark Harper insisted checks are based on people's behaviour, not race
- But he could not say how many people of different ethnicities are stopped
- Officers only record names, dates of birth and nationalities in spot checks
Reassurance: Immigration Minister Mark Harper has insisted spot checks at train stations are not based on people's ethnicity
People being stopped at railway station for spot checks by immigration officers are not targeted on the basis of their race, the Immigration Minister has insisted.
But Mark Harper admitted that the reason he could not reveal how many people of different ethnicities are stopped was because it is not recorded.
Officials are instructed to only take down names, dates of birth and nationalities of people they stop.
The minister said spot checks in London Underground stations were carried out on the basis of individuals' behaviour, not their appearance or skin colour.
Checks at two Tube stations have led to 17 arrests on suspicion of immigration offences. No figures have been published as to how many people in total were stopped.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has launched an investigation into the immigration checks for possible discrimination, and is also probing a controversial Home Office advertising campaign, which saw vans deployed in parts of London with the message to illegal immigrants that they should 'go home' or face arrest.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Harper said: 'We are not carrying out random checks of people in the street and asking people to show their papers. That's absolutely not what we are doing. We wouldn't have the lawful authority to do that.
The operations carried out at two Tube stations were based on specific intelligence about concerns that we had about those particular locations and about the times when we conducted the operations. We weren't stopping people based on their race or their ethnicity. We were only stopping people and questioning them where we had a reasonable suspicion that they were an immigration offender.
'These operations have been carried out for many years, and indeed also were carried out under the last government as well.'
Explaining how officers choose individuals for questioning, Mr Harper said: There's two things that we use. The first thing is intelligence about the location and the time that we are carrying out the operation. That's not the only thing you need to stop somebody and question them. You also need, about that individual, a reasonable suspicion that they are an immigration offender.
Controversial: The European Human Rights Commission is looking into the Home Office's 'Go home' vans, which are being driven around London
'They are not allowed to do it based on someone's physical appearance. If, someone, when seeing an immigration officer, behaved in a very suspicious way, that might give us reasonable suspicion to question them.
'It's about how they behave, not what they look like. It's not about their appearance or their race or their ethnicity.'
Mr Harper said it was made clear to those stopped that they do not have to answer questions if they do not wish to.
'If we don't have sufficient grounds to arrest somebody, then we aren't able to do so,' he said. 'The questioning we carry out is a consensual one and the person doesn't have to be questioned at all, and that should be made clear to them when they are questioned.'
Data on the numbers stopped for questioning will be released 'in due course', said Mr Harper.
Labour immigration spokesman Chris Bryant has written to Home Secretary Theresa May demanding details of how many people were stopped for questioning and what proportion led to the detection of suspected offences.
He told Today: 'I would like her to give us exact details of how many people have been arrested, how many people have been stopped, what ethnicity they were. If it feels as if what is basically happening is that they are going to some parts of the country and stopping every person with a black face, then that is totally unacceptable.'
High profile: The Home Office tweeted images of arrests during a crackdown on illegal immigrants on Thursday
Arrests: A suspect illegal immigrant is caught by Border Agency officials in a raid at a nail bar in Swansea on Friday
The Home Office's own guidance says that an immigration officer can only stop somebody if they have intelligence to say that that person may be an illegal immigrant, said Mr Bryant.
'What we really need from Theresa May - and I think this is a matter of urgency now, because we have had a sort of moral panic that's been created by all of this over the last 10 days and I have a hateful fear that this is what the general election is going to be like - is precise numbers of where these stops and searches were being done, what the percentage was of people who were arrested,' he said.
'They need to have a better intelligence-led operation. What we have seen since 2010 is that the number of illegal immigrants removed from the country has fallen, the number of people stopped at our borders has fallen, and the number of foreign criminals deported has fallen. I think we could get that end of the equation right first.'
More than 130 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested on Thursday in a crackdown on rogue employers that was highly publicised by the Home Office through the department's website and micro-blogging site Twitter.
An EHRC spokesman said yesterday: 'The commission is writing to the Home Office about these reported operations, confirming that it will be examining the powers used and the justification for them, in order to assess whether unlawful discrimination took place.
'The letter will also ask questions about the extent to which the Home Office complied with its public sector equality duty when planning the recent advertising campaign targeted at illegal migration.'

The National Reconstruction Authority was established in direct response to the earthquake. The branch was quickly assembled to address the rapidly changing ground situation. Here, Yam Lal offers an insider’s look into the difficulties of managing such an operation.
After the earthquake, we focused on how much the devastation had cost us. I am also one of people who suffered along with other citizens. After the earthquake, reconstruction is being done and I am also involved in that. After the earthquake, immediately under the guidance of the National Planning Commission (NPC), a campaign was launched to establish a PDNA (Post Disaster Needs Assessment). Our current NRA CEO was the NPC Vice-President and under his direction, the campaign proceeded further. There was participation from various donors. Even from our country, there were participants from various sectors such as urban development, local development, agriculture, industry, commerce. For immediate data, a needs assessment was conducted to find out which sector lost how much. On the basis of that, development of reconstruction plans will be easier. I was involved in that. I was involved in the macroeconomics sector of that campaign.
Private houses, schools, government buildings, industries, natural resources and 14 districts, the other 17 districts were also affected. The roads have been damaged. That needs to be repaired. Along with that, livelihoods; the economic damage which people have faced, to develop their livelihood, to improve their economic state. They have to be reconstructed.
If we look at the present situation, a lot of countries and funding agencies have helped us. Big donors and organizations such as the World Bank, ADB [Asian Development Bank], Indian Government, Chinese Government, Japan Government (JICA), Korean Government, along with the EU and many countries and funding agencies, have provided us with support. Along with that, various NGOs and INGOs have also provided us with support materials. The funds are being utilized in various sectors. For example, building and reconstructing schools, sub-health posts providing housing, and campaigns for providing drinking water are areas where the funds have been utilized. Instead of dispersing, if one NGO, or few NGOs could cover a particular VDC [Village Development Committee] or area, then monitoring would be easier. The work they do will be seen. It will be easier to show the results of their work to donors as well.
If any organization wishes to build a school, then they will have to go to the Ministry of Education’s Central Project Implementation. From there they will have to open an account and get permissions and get agreements. Then they have to get permissions from the NRA. And then we will give permission for that and it will be continued.
The main role of the NRA is to reconstruct all houses and return the people to their homes. That is an important responsibility. For that, the NRA is moving forward in a parallel manner, and will continue doing this task in the coming days.

With the Covid-19 virus and vaccines having underscored the importance and strategic role played by objective scientific research, many, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, are saying it’s time for us to invest in more studies on gun violence.
Earlier this week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a report that concluded that the number of murders in 2020 in the U.S. jumped 30%, up 4,901 to 21,570 total homicides. What was particularly worrying was the fact that just over three in every four of those murders (around 77%) involved the use of a firearm. It was the first time that figure breached the 75% mark, though it has been inching up for several years now.
At the same time, the violent crime rate rose around 5% (the category encompasses murder, assault, robbery, and rape). Per experts, though this is still below the historic highs noted in the 1990s, it is the largest single increase in yearly homicide rates since record-keeping began in the 1960s.
Research from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), which tracks 7,500 sources on a daily basis for their comprehensive database, shows as of Sept. 30, there have been a total of 33,378 gun deaths in the U.S. this year (covering homicides, murders, unintentional deaths or injuries, and suicides). They estimate the number of total injuries at 30,698. For comparison, in 2020, the GVA says there were 19,411 deaths and 39,492 injuries; and 15,448 deaths and 30,186 injuries in 2019.
According to research commissioned by CNN and carried out by the GVA, this summer has been particularly violent in terms of gun-related injuries and deaths, with weekends being especially bloody. Each weekend, the GVA estimates, there have been an average of 200 deaths and 472 injuries. This evens out to about 3.4 people shot every hour every weekend.
These statistics corroborate a general feeling among law enforcement and the public that violent crime has increased drastically this year, something that has been particularly jarring after what seemed like a quiet year on that front, when much of the news cycle and mindshare was consumed by the Covid-19 pandemic. This recent uptick has thrown back under the microscope what President Joe Biden has called a “public health epidemic.”
What is different, experts say, is that the issue is slowly being reframed, pivoting the gun violence problem into “a matter of injury prevention,” and not of politics. It is, they say, a grave threat to public safety and health.
Many are pointing out that while it’s the high-profile mass shootings, like the recent one at a Kroger store in Tennessee, that draw media attention, gun violence is not only about preventing mass-casualty episodes. Nor is it about “gun control” measures like taking away firearms or establishing a national registry, they add.
Rather, academicians and experts hope that further scientific research will help craft better and more effective policies. There is limited evidence that any of the measures being debated at the moment would truly be effective in curbing gun violence. Research is key to figuring that out. To truly solve the problem, experts say, we need to understand it and its scope first.
It may be hard to believe, but there are some aspects of gun violence that are actually understudied and under-reported, according to some. At the center of this information black hole is the fact that shooting incidents that result in deaths are actually eclipsed by those that result in injuries (debilitating or otherwise). In addition, mass shooting events claim fewer lives every year than other types of gun violence, though they are the ones most likely to garner attention.
The CDC divides the causes behind firearm-related injuries into several categories, including intentionally self-inflicted; unintentional; interpersonal violence; and legal intervention, which covers incidents involving police or other law enforcement agents acting in the line of duty.
Per the CDC, gun violence is among top leading causes of death for people of all ages in the U.S. The agency estimates that in 2019 there were 39,707 firearm-related deaths nationwide, amounting to about 109 deaths per day. Six out of ten of these were suicides, and just over three out of ten were homicides. “Guns are the leading method of suicide in the U.S., accounting for half of all suicide deaths,” per some estimates. Further, around two in every three firearm-related deaths in the U.S. are suicides.
However, as the agency says, “more people suffer nonfatal firearm-related injuries than die.” One study found that between 2009 and 2017, there were on average 329 firearm injuries per day, and that people were twice as likely to be shot and injured than die.
This is a problem in the long-term, for the victim who survives, the economy, and the healthcare system. Consequences include cognitive problems experienced by the individual, instability in emotions, physical disabilities or paralysis, chronic mental health problems like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and — crucially — a self-perpetuating cycle of violence that can lead to more death and injuries. Some estimates say that gun violence costs the U.S. around $280 billion annually in lost productivity, and insurance, legal, and medical expenses.
It is all these factors that drive the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), which for decades has been investigating the impact of gun violence on Americans’ health and safety. After limits were put on it in terms of fully studying this epidemic in the 1990s, just recently the NCIPC has started funding on-the-ground research into various associated topics for the first time in a quarter century.
CNN reported in August that the agency is already spending over $2.2 million on tracking, in real time, how many people are coming into emergency rooms with nonfatal gunshot wounds, how the wound was inflicted, whether it was intentional, etc. In addition, the agency is spending over $8 million on 18 different research projects to prevent gun-related violence and injuries.
The areas being studied include the effectiveness of suicide awareness programs, campaigns about the storage and safe use of firearms, and various forms of violence intervention and prevention programs; the characteristics of firearm violence; and “the risk and protective factors for interpersonal and self-directed firearm violence.” One project in Houston is hoping to map hot spots for gun violence in the city, in the same way that epidemiologists are doing with Covid-19.
In the same vein, earlier this week, the Justice Department announced it had awarded almost $187 million in funding to support state, local, and tribal public safety and community justice activities.

An Alpine School District teacher in Utah was arrested for allegedly exchanging sexually explicit texts and images with a teenager.
The boy’s father discovered the conversations and photos on his son’s phone, KUTV reported Wednesday.
Authorities also learned the alleged victim had been talking with several others he met on apps and nude photos taken with the teen’s phone had been sent to them.
Thirty-two-year-old Andrew Walsh of Orem was reportedly one of the people in the group.
The police department said Thursday:
After a review of the recent arrest of a school teacher for enticement of a minor and possession of child pornography, it came to light that our agency failed to notify Alpine School District in a timely manner. Our agency is closely examining our procedures in order to insure administrators are made aware of any incidents involving active employees as soon as possible.
Walsh was an art instructor at Pleasant View Junior High last year then went to work at Orem Junior. Following his arrest, the teacher was placed on administrative leave.
Meanwhile, the United States Department of Justice advised parents to be involved in their children’s lives, especially when it came to their online activity.
The agency encouraged them to be familiar with the apps they used, implement parental controls, and report anyone who made them feel uncomfortable.

Star Wars fans will finally get to see Solo: A Star Wars Story in less than two weeks, which will put to rest many fears we have about the project following many public creative shake-ups behind the scenes. While some fans are nervous that Ron Howard replacing original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller would inherently lead to a messy result, star Emilia Clarke confirmed she was relieved that she had another opportunity to film scenes which she didn’t feel comfortable with when first shooting.
“Ron came on and literally took us all in and listened to everyone. He had, like, no time to prep whatsoever and just took us from this kind of ‘what are we doing’ to a place of such ease and comfort and fun. And we got to revisit stuff that normally you don’t get to have a second chance on,” Clarke explained to Variety. “So, there were a number of scenes where I was like, ‘Yes, thank goodness. I did not do that well. I’m very happy to revisit that.’
She went on to add that it’s an unconventional process that she wished she had more opportunities to do, explaining, “It weirdly ended up working out in a really great way where you go, ‘I kind of wish I could have a couple of months and then go back to it and fix a couple of things that I wasn’t happy with on the day.’”
Following the departure of Lord and Miller last summer over creative differences with Lucasfilm, rumors ignited about who would finish the film. Like many fans, Clarke was excited by Howard coming on board.
“On paper, it sounds like an absolute nightmare and it’s a complete testament to [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] and the studio and to everyone…it sounds like I’m spinning a yarn, but I’m not, because it was seamless,” Clarke confirmed. “It was really, really well done. We had brief hiatus…and then I get this call saying that Ron Howard’s coming on. So, Jon Kasdan, the writer of the movie, I called him like six times and was like, ‘Are you sure? Are you really sure? Do we really get to have Ron?'”
The final product seems to have paid off, with ComicBook.com’s review explaining, “Aside from some pacing issues that plague the beginning and ending, the movie’s backed by forward momentum, as Han attempts to look backward but can’t help but be propelled into the future, toward a life of crime. As an insular plot not dependent on prequels or sequels, Solo: A Star Wars Story stands by itself as a strong entry in the franchise. But it’s because the film relishes in its setting that allows it to thrive as one of Lucasfilm’s strongest forays yet in a post-Disney world.”
You can see Solo: A Star Wars Story in theaters on May 25th.
