Randy Mastro, the attorney representing the West Side Community Organization in its efforts to shut down the temporary homeless shelter at The Lucerne Hotel, at 201 West 79th Street, found his Upper East Side townhouse vandalized on Tuesday night, the NY Post reports.
Mastro wasn’t home during the incident, according to the report, but a neighbor whose property was also vandalized notified him, and they both reported it to the police.
“Randy Mastro you can’t displace us” was graffitied in red near the entrance of the attorney’s townhouse, along with other messages on and around his front steps and on the building facade.
Tensions over the temporary homeless shelters on the Upper West Side have been high for months. The temporary homeless residents of The Lucerne Hotel were recently scheduled to be relocated to a site in the Financial District, but after a number of pauses, the next court date, scheduled for November 16, will determine their future.
Both the West Side Community Organization and UWS Open Hearts Initiative, its opposing group in favor of keeping the temporary Lucerne shelter running, have condemned the action – as have local leaders.
Another attack on the people of the UWS and those who represent their interests. Our hearts go out to Randy Mastro and his family. Violence is never the answer. #savetheuws @savetheuws pic.twitter.com/hoOKghZWJ5

We’ve received reports from one of our faith leaders that Randy Mastro’s home has been vandalized. UWS Open Hearts and Lucerne residents unequivocally condemn this kind of personal attack. Our fight is for human dignity for all, and we extend our support to the Mastro family.
— UWS Open Hearts Initiative (@UWSOpenHearts) October 21, 2020
I’ve seen reports that Randy Mastro’s home has been vandalized. While I understand that tensions are high regarding the situation at the Lucerne, civil discourse must prevail. Destruction & vandalism won’t solve anything, and I unequivocally condemn this kind of illegal attack.

As we traveled the states, Darci considered me public enemy and nuisance #1 primarily because of my tendency to lay on the brakes and swerve off the road where ever we saw great roadside action. Art that is. The kitschier the better. When combined with a shot of the trailer in the foreground, I was able to call it Trailer-Art. As you can see, some times it reached the level of high art.
the pic on the left says a lot to me. nomads that replace other nomads. the native american looks vanquished. paul looks inflated in his quest. and we've got a trailer big enough to store all the baggage a person could need for a lifetime. still, each is on a journey hopefully leaving the place a little better than when they found it. hopefully.
the first two shots are to verify that babe's a boy. a friend in eureka tells us those may be the most photographed wreaking balls in the northwest. y'all come back now, y'hear?

Ian Ashford recently released his debut solo album on the 23rd of November 2019.
The new album, titled ‘Symbols’, and was recorded between Ireland and France.
The songs are intimate, authentic and even naive in their honesty. The music has a textural cinematic feel and is almost entirely instrumental.
“I had written and arranged the songs with a certain vision for the production. I was lucky enough to get good musicians around me to realise the project. The musicians I worked with were, Irish, French and Bulgarian which I feel gave the album personality. I’m not sure what genre the album fits to be honest as I did not write these songs with an audience in mind.”
Ian decided to take time out in October 2018 to focus on completing eight songs for the album and finished the project in October 2019.
Following a jam-packed year, Lisa reflects on the comforts of Christmas at home with loved ones in her new Christmas song ‘Home With A Heartbeat’ – The track is released today!
Lisa co-wrote the song with Australian pal Katrina Burgoyne who resides in Nashville, both living away from home at the time and … “when writing the song, they realised that they have so many things to be excited for this Christmas as they’re getting to enjoy that traditional Christmas this year at home with their families,” – That’s when ‘Home With A Heartbeat’ was created.
The song is filled with childhood memories and captures the magic of Christmas preparations for families around the country.
Of the song, Lisa says, “I wanted to write a song that described a traditional Christmas Day, that most people whether they are 5 or 95 could relate to. I wanted a warm, feel good song but also one that captures the excitement and everything else that goes with Christmas at home and we’re both delighted with end-result.“
Lisa will perform at this New Year’s Eve Festival Dublin Countdown Concert on at Custom House Quay alongside Walking On Cars and Ash , tickets are available HERE.
London-based Northern Irish musician Aislinn Logan made a great impression with ‘Spree’, ‘Fair Game’ and ‘Wait On Me’ highlighted by new music champions The Line of Best Fit and Clash, alongside HotPress. They also earned significant airplay at 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, and playlist at RTÉ 2FM.
Back with a bounce in 2019, October’s ‘Joyride’ (produced by Dan Mc Intyre – lullahush Æ MAK) packed a punch with its hard-hitting message effortlessly wound through breezy pop melodies and got radio support from 2FM (with Tara Stewart playlisting it on her show on 2FM), as well as Radio X, BBC 6 among others.
Now, Aislinn gives us the second single off her upcoming EP, ‘Look I’m Flyin’, with ‘Everything In Between’.
Produced with the help of Kristofer Harris (Belle and Sebastian, Ghost Poet, Bears Den) , ‘Everything In Between’, marks Logan’s most personal release yet. Questioning the impact of unfortunate logistics on human connection, it’s a lo-fi pop brood on ‘what if?’.
As Aislinn explains, “The track was born out of a time at the end of something – that deafening silence you can be left with, and trying to make sense of it all. Because you’re on your own with what went before – an experience that only you really know, you can feel a bit like you’re going mad. You question your decision-making, what really happened, you can question it all I guess – and you’ve no longer got a ‘fact-checker’. I wanted to capture that struggle.”
Traces of Aislinn’s eclectic musical interests inform everything she does without being obvious touchstones. The influence of the xx’s ambient minimalism here is evident, but its marked difference with her other material shows just how far her sonic palette can stretch. With the ‘Look, I’m Flyin’ EP coming soon, watch this space.
Lovers of food and music are in for a special treat this coming Sunday, December 8th when musician and Clare FM presenter Eoin O’Neill joins Ennis-born music legend Mike Hanrahan for conversation, songs and anecdotes from his acclaimed new book Beautiful Affair – a story of music, food and friendship. The evening takes place in Hotel Doolin from 7pm-10pm and is presented by Anam Music.
Mike Hanrahan is an acclaimed cook, teacher, songwriter and musician. From the early days of his music with Stockton’s Wing to training at Ballymaloe Cookery School, food and music have been parallel lines that have inspired him. In the book Mike takes us backstage into the kitchens of a bohemian, international and surprisingly foodie group of Irish household names, including Ronnie Drew, Finbar Furey, Maura O’Connell, Leslie Dowdall, Pat Shortt, Eleanor Shanley and Sharon Shannon.
Mike penned hit singles ‘Beautiful Affair’ and ‘Walk Away’ for Stockton’s Wing, from which a world of touring and behind-the-scenes escapades began. With affectionate portraits of the legendary personalities he came to know along the way, Beautiful Affair rings with the sheer graft, dedication and serious sense of humour of a life well spent on stage – and in the kitchen.
Mike’s time training with Ballymaloe’s Darina Allen would see his hobby become a second career. Here, he shares favourite recipes from home, friends and professional kitchens across the country – from family recipes cooked on country hearths to vegetarian folk-club grub and tour-bus pressure-cooker stews. Beautiful Affair tells tales of the Irish music scene from the 1970s through to today, and wends its way through a lifelong love affair with Irish food.
‘This is much more than my story. In Beautiful Affair I introduce you to my friends – who share memories, recipes and quite a few amusing anecdotes that add so much sparkle to my life.’ – Mike Hanrahan
Tickets for this special event are priced €15 plus booking fee and are available via the Eventbrite.ie website. See https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/mike-hanrahan-in-conversation-with-eoin-oneill-tickets-81607878361
After a two year hiatus, the online Irish alternative music programme This Ain’t No Disco returns for its highly anticipated second season to be released on Christmas Day 2019.
The new season will feature a cross-section of Ireland’s thriving music and spoken word scene, representing some of the most talented yet under-represented visionaries in Ireland today. This dynamic audio visual showcase seeks to examine not only where the boundaries are being pushed today, but also where this music is rooted both historically and geographically.
Hosted by DJ (and former host of the cult 90’s TV program, No Disco) Donal Dineen, This Ain’t No Disco is voluntarily produced by a skeleton crew of friends and music enthusiasts, directed by music documentarian and award-winning cinematographer Myles O’Reilly.
Quote from Myles O’Reilly:
“I can’t express how necessary and important it is that people of all ages in Ireland get to experience the joy of discovering new and emerging music from their own country. There are so many fresh sounds being created here in bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, pubs, clubs and just about anywhere you can swing a guitar, which need to be heard and amplified, because they are the sounds of our country growing, and of our culture evolving. After a two year hiatus to allow for new growth, This Ain’t No Disco is coming back for a second season, and what we ultimately hope to achieve pull focus on what it means to be Irish today, through expression in sound happening all around us.”
Quote from Donal Dineen:
“There is an embarrassment of riches in Irish music at present, so Myles and I try to pick out strands of golden thread and stitch each episode together with due care. There is a collaboration of sorts at the heart of each edition. For the new series, we plan to spread the net wider and dig deeper again, to unearth these stories. It’s just a snapshot of what’s happening. To map the whole rich tapestry would be impossible so we concentrate on important parts of the pattern as we see it and do our best to faithfully present that in the best light possible. For historical purposes alone, we feel it’s an important endeavour.”
Save the date now and tune in to This Ain’t No Disco on Christmas Day. Support the project on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/thisaintnodisco
This Ain’t No Disco Season II is made possible by the generous support of our Patreon donators, and partnership with IMRO.
THIS AIN’T NO DISCO
Bobbi Arlo is set to release her official debut single, ‘Berries’, this Friday 29th November.
On the single Arlo says, “Initially I wrote the song as a joke because that day I had accidentally gone “viral” on Twitter slagging my colourful fashion sense and how I had every outfit every Balamory character ever wore. As I continued to write it, I couldn’t help but think maybe there’s something here? I rewrote the verses and turned the track itself into a light-hearted anthem for the youth of today’s world. Its inspiration was a relationship I had where the person wanted nothing more than fun; no connections, no commitments, the song is basically one huge metaphor.”
Bobbi Arlo, born and raised in Dublin, began performing in her teens. In 2018 she unveiled her first track ‘People’ on SoundCloud, closely followed by ‘Bye’, which gained her a very small dedicated fan group. Since then she’s performed on some of the biggest stages in Ireland including the main stage at Longitude 2019, where she showcased her ability to hold and entertain the masses.
Arlo has worked up an impressive CV in her short time in the industry working with some of Ireland’s most loved acts of today including Tebi Rex on their acclaimed album ‘The Young Will Eat The Old’.
Arlo’s mellow, almost hypnotic sounding voice paired with her infectiously catchy lyrics and beats make for a combination it would be impossible not to be entranced by. Her music is nothing short of feel good, feel deeply.
‘Berries’ is released Friday 29th November.
Irish songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Anna Mieke has teamed up with film-maker Myles O’Reilly (Arbutus Yarns) to create a captivating new live video for her debut album title track ‘Idle Mind’.
Anna Mieke says:
“This performance of ‘Idle Mind’ was filmed in the docklands in north Dublin. Cranes were hovering above us like vultures, with yet another shiny office block or hotel on the horizon. The song expresses a frustration towards apathy, in the face of dramatically changing landscapes. Working with Myles was an obvious choice – we’ve worked together before and he’s a brilliant filmmaker. Our original plan was to shoot the performance inside, but Myles insisted on an outside shot in the dimming light.”
Anna Mieke’s album ‘Idle Mind’, released last April, was warmly received: “It’s a strikingly confident collection of 10 songs, full of blue sky thinking and wide open horizons… A deliriously renewable energy source.” ★★★★ –Siobhán Long, The Irish Times
“‘Idle Mind’ is not just a stunning debut record, nor is it just an amazing Irish record: it’s a record that proves Mieke to be one of the most promising artists on the Irish independent sphere and mature musician and songwriter whose work deserves to be heard far and wide.” – The Thin Air
Anna Mieke was recently awarded the Next Generation Bursary Award from the Arts Council of Ireland, and will be taking time to work on new material at an artist residency in Co. Kerry in early spring. She is currently planning a UK and Ireland tour in May and June 2020, with dates to be announced.
Closing out 2019, see Anna Mieke perform live at Canton Casey’s Mullingar November 29th, and Other Voices, Dingle, 30-31st November.
A year after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Constancy’, alternative 5-piece Spies have shared a remix of ‘Watchman’, one of the albums more club focused tracks.
This remix comes courtesy of Dublin producer R.Kitt who describes the track as ‘Acid Dub’.
Those who have seen Kitt live recently will be familiar with the remix which he has featured in his sets at Boiler Room x AVA Festival 2019 and All Together Now.
This is the first of three remixes to be shared by the band with upcoming collaborations with producer Rían Trench slated for release in the new year.
In addition to this release the band have announced a new show in Dublin’s Whelans on February 15th. Tickets are on sale from Eventbrite at 10am on Friday, 29th of November.

Bell X1 have just released extra production holds across their three-night residency at Vicar Street this weekend, Friday 29th November, Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December 2019. Tickets €38.50 available now from Ticketmaster.
2018 witnessed Bell X1, one of Ireland’s most treasured bands, celebrate 20 years together with a remarkable five-night sold-out residency at Vicar Street. Bell X1 are now pleased to announce that the band will end 2019 performing their very special Acoustic-ish + Dowry Strings show at the venue, 29th & 30th November and 1st December. Dowry is the solo project of composer Éna Brennan.
“The shows with Dowry strings were such a joy, and we found ourselves imagining what we could do with many more of our songs. So we’re going to get into it again with them, and are looking forward to flinging more paint around together” says Paul.
Since the release of their acclaimed 7th studio album ‘Arms’, the group have spent time touring in America, Australia, the United Kingdom & Europe. They’ve also released new material with their various side projects. Paul has been working on his first solo LP with The Gloaming’s Thomas Bartlett, and Dave has been touring and releasing new material with Join Me In the Pines.
Bell X1 are Paul Noonan, Dave Geraghty & Dominic Philips.
Live performance of “Tongue” filmed at the National Concert Hall 360 video:
Following a string of multiple sold out live shows to date, Columbia Mills are delighted to announce they will headline Dublin’s Button Factory on Friday, 24th April with special guest Christian Cohle proudly presented by Aiken Promotions.
‘Strange Game’ and ‘Who Am I Supposed To Talk To Now’ are the first two singles released of their upcoming sophomore album ‘CCTV’ due for release in 2020.
Both singles have premiered on John Kennedy’s show on Radio X, featured Play Irish Artist of the week with Today FM, Dan Hegarty’s (2FM) Track of The Week and heavy airplay across all national and regional radio stations.
The band’s mission statement was to merge electronica, dance and pop while fostering a spirit of inclusion always evident at the long-gone club in Dublin’s docklands from where they took their name.
Columbia Mills’ burgeoning fanbase will be in no way surprised that the tracks on their sophomore album, CCTV (due for release in 2020) sees continuing evidence of that constant music development.
Tickets for COLUMBIA MILLS + special guest Christian Cohle live at The Button Factory are available from this Friday at 9AM

Susanna Reid is reportedly increasing security at her South London home after it was burgled twice in a month.
The Good Morning Britain star, who grew up in Croydon and went to Croydon High School , had her car and expensive electronic gadgets, including her son’s iWatch, stolen in the burglaries.
The 48-year-old is reported to have since increased security after the terrifying break-ins at her Lambeth home, which she shares with sons Sam, 16, Finn, 14, and Jack, 13.
The first theft happened on Monday, February 11, but police said there was no sign of forced entry to the home, as reported by The Mirror.
“The crime was investigated at a theft from a dwelling, as there were no suspects or CCTV images the investigation was closed,” a Met Police spokesman told the Mirror.
Reid is said to have only realised her car had been stolen from the street days after the break-in. She is understood to have phoned police reporting her car keys had been stolen from inside her hallway.
It was later found abandoned near Wandsworth Common and combed for fingerprints, but none were found and the investigation was closed.
The latest burglary happened on Monday, March 11, when expensive electronic items were stolen.
The burglars are believed to have climbed through a window.
A Met Police spokesman said: "Police in Lambeth are investigating after a series of offences at a residential address."
They added: "A forensic examination has taken place and a review of CCTV conducted.
“Officers from the local Safer Neighbourhoods’ Team will attend the premises to assist the householder to review security and conduct local enquiries.”
"Being burgled once is bad enough, but having to relive it again for a second time is devastating," a friend told the Sun .
"She has spared no expense on home security including state-of-the-art alarms.
"Any burglar should now think twice about trying their luck."
No arrests have been made.
Reid was previously burgled between Christmas and New Year in 2010, while the ITV presenter and her family slept upstairs.
Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101.

If you’ve never had concords you’re probably thinking, Really, Faith? Grapes? They’re good in an eh, it’s a fruit and I should get my daily quota kind-of-way. But nothing spectacular. Barely worth a cursory glance.
Those are normal grapes, and concords are nothing approaching normal grapes.Concord grapes are in a class all their own. They are a stunning dark purplish/bluish/blackish color, and are perfumed with a wonderfully sweet and fruity aroma. Biting into one, they’re both sweet and slightly tart with a crisp, clean flavor. They taste intensely like grape. Real, pure, grape…if you’re a fan of 100% grape juice, it’s like that. Only infinitely better.
I live not too far from grape country – Welch’s actually has a museum and vineyards within less than an hour’s drive. Every year I go grape picking with my family and there is absolutely nothing better than concord grapes eaten straight off the vine. (No, I don’t do that…ok, maybe just a couple, lol.)
Last year I made Concord Grape Juice and Concord Grape Jam (which I later used to make Grape Jam Bars in a Jar). This year I felt like switching it up a little and made a variation of the jam with the addition of balsamic vinegar and warm spices. Oh, and I didn’t pulse the grape skins in a food processor. Why? I wanted my jam to have more noticeable pieces of fruit.
If you can still find local concord grapes in your neck of the woods, this is a lovely recipe to try!
***As with any jam recipe, please read the full recipe before starting. Also, please note that in my recipe for Concord Grape Jam, I give several tests for determining when jam is done***
- 3 lbs Concord grapes (weighed after you remove the stems)
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons good quality balsamic vinegar
- 1½ to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (add more or less, depending on how much you like cinnamon)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper (this is not a typo, lol)
- Slip the skins off the grapes and set aside for now.
- Transfer the grape insides to a heavy-bottomed, lidded 5-quart pot; cover the pot, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Turn heat off and cool to room temperature (this will take up to a couple hours). Transfer the grape insides to a cheesecloth-lined sieve fitted over a bowl to catch the liquid; gently wring the cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Transfer the grape liquid back to the pot along with the grape skins, sugar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat (uncovered), then turn heat down and simmer (uncovered) until jam is done (see one of the tests for determining if jam is done that I mention in my recipe for Concord Grape Jam), about 30 to 35 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Transfer the jam to sterile jars; the jars should be preserved through canning or stored in the refrigerator.
Washing the Grapes: Wash the grapes before you de-stem them, but weigh them after (so you don't include the weight of the stems).
To Balance Out the Additional Acidity From the Balsamic: You can add 2 to 3 tablespoons of additional sugar if desired.

Ich bin eine ehrfahrene Cello Lehrerin aus den USA und biete
ünterricht für jeder Älter und Niveau. Ich habe an der San
Francisco State University, Brandeis University, und University of
Illinois am Urbana-Champaign meine Studium mit abschluss von
Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, und Künstler Diplom gemacht.
Nach meine Studium in Universität habe ich eine 6 jahre Ausbildung
mit Irene Sharp als auch 10 Kurse in Suzuki Pädagogik gemacht. Ich

Hi! I'm a professional cellist with 17 years of experience teaching and performing. I have experience teaching all ages and levels, so everyone is welcome!
I hold a BM from San Francisco State, an MM from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and an Artist Diploma from Brandeis University, plus I am certified in books 1 through 10 of the Suzuki method. I am a graduate of the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts, and I also attended the San Francisco School of the Arts and the San Francisco Conservatory preparatory division. While at San Francisco State University, I studied with the members of the Alexander String Quartet. My primary teachers were students of Janos Starker, Aldo Parisot, Pierre Fournier, and Margaret Rowell, among others. My strongest influence comes from Irene Sharp, to whom hundreds of cellists in the major orchestras all over the world owe a debt of gratitude for her fine teaching.
While still a student at the University of Illinois, I served as a teaching assistant, teaching private cello lessons to a full studio of students. One thing that I have learned in all my years of teaching is that no two students are the same, so I do my best to assess what each individual student needs and tailor their lessons accordingly. I can provide a list of references if necessary. Lessons are EUR20 for a half hour (only recommedned for very young children), EUR25 for 45 minutes, and EUR30 for an hour.

Earlier this year we were fortunate to be asked to design a new addition as well as a renovation to the interior of a early 1900’s farm house in Davenport, Florida. The house has passed through three generations of the same family. The current owner grew up in the house that was then owned by his grandparents. The home was originally built in the early 1900’s but was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in the early 1940’s and remained in that state until our renovations.

The name Dellman is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon
tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived beside the water. The surname Dellman originally derived from the Old English word dell
which referred to someone who inhabited an area close to a body of water or glade.
Early Origins of the Dellman family
The surname Dellman was first found in Sussex
where they held a family seat
from ancient times. Dell means literally in the Saxon dialect "a dweller by the water," or "dell" a glade.
Early History of the Dellman family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Dellman research.Another 87 words (6 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1607, 1669, 1649 and 1660 are included under the topic Early Dellman History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Dellman Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred
years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations
in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Dellman has been spelled many different ways, including Dell, Delle, Dells and others.
Early Notables of the Dellman family (pre 1700)
Another 31 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Dellman Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Dellman family to the New World and Oceana
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Dellmans to arrive in North America: George Dell who settled first in Boston, and then moved to Salem Massachusetts, about the year 1630. He became a freeman in the year 1651. He was a merchant and died on a voyage to England
in 1654. Thomas Dell settled in Pennsylvania in 1682.

Amarillo Tascosa, Lubbock Coronado, San Angelo Central set to compete in new district
Published 10:31 am, Saturday, August 25, 2012
San Angelo Central football is back where it belongs.
The Bobcats reunite with their traditional Little Southwest Conference opponents as the remaining Class 5A teams from last year’s District 2-5A merge with what was District 3-5A to form a new nine-team District 2-5A for the next two years.
Central’s players, coaches and fan base couldn’t be happier to once again be playing district games against the likes of Abilene High, Abilene Cooper, Odessa High, Odessa Permian, Midland High and Lee.
“We’re excited about being in it,” Central coach Brent Davis said. “We’re in it in everything but football, so it’s good to be back in football as well. We’re really excited about getting back to playing these traditional rivalries. We feel like we now have the program that can compete with the tougher district.”
Central is joined by Amarillo Tascosa and Lubbock Coronado from the old 2-5A. Tascosa coach Ken Plunk says the Rebels are also excited about being in the larger, tougher district that has as much tradition as the new 2-5A.
“It’s a good, quality district,” Plunk said. “Being a nine-team league becomes a situation where everybody will have a lower percentage chance of making the playoffs than normal, so that makes it even more competitive to me. We’re thrilled to death to be a part of this great, storied district.”
Tascosa and Central are literally on opposite spectrums of the district alignment with Tascosa obviously being the northern-most school, while Central is the team furthest to the south. It’s a much better situation for Central, though, as the Bobcats will see the amount of miles it typically travels decrease significantly.
After routinely making multiple trips to Lubbock or Amarillo for district play each season, the Bobcats instead get to travel to the Permian Basin. Comparatively, Midland is around 110 miles from San Angelo, while Odessa is about 130 miles away. Lubbock is a 185-mile trip, while it’s a daunting 300 miles to Amarillo.
Needless to say, the decrease in travel is a big plus for Central in this latest round of re-districting.
“This travel is nothing to us,” Davis said. “We learned how to travel well in that other district because we did it so often. We’re used to going to Amarillo and Lubbock. Our furthest game this year is in Odessa. We traveled well in that other district, so there’s no reason to think we won’t handle it well in this one.”
On paper, travel plans appear much more hectic for Tascosa. However, Plunk is quick to point out there’s not much difference in their travel schedule from their previous alignment.
“The people who are complaining about our travel don’t really know what they’re talking about and aren’t looking at things,” Plunk said. “This is the same schedule we’ve always played. The only difference is we’re playing these teams as district opponents rather than non-district. We always had to travel in non-district play to take on other 5A teams. Travel really isn’t that big of a deal.”
The level of competition in district play is obviously increasing for Tascosa, Central and Coronado, but none of the three are shying away from the challenge and each believes they have the pieces to compete for at least a playoff spot.
“I don’t think we come into the district as a favorite, but we think we belong,” Plunk said. “I’ve got great respect for everybody in the district. I think it’s going to be who can play the best week to week. Abilene has to be considered the favorite, but everybody else will be grinding for a playoff spot.”
Central is coming off its first outright district title in more than 30 years last season. But, the Bobcats graduated heavy, losing 32 lettermen, including 21 players who were at least part-time starters. The Bobcats have improved in each of Davis’ three seasons in charge of the program, and he’s hoping that the foundation laid by last year’s senior class allows the program to continue winning.
“Winning breeds winning, so we hope this year’s guys see what last year’s seniors did, take some pride and continue building on it,” Davis said. “With just two non-district games, you don’t have time to get your team better before you play games that matter. We’re young so that’s going to hurt us. We’re going to have to grown up in a hurry, but we think we’re in the mix with four or five other teams for those last couple playoff spots.”

Toby and Emma Tennant spent 3 days in Transylvania staying in one of the MET guesthouses in Malâncrav. To read the notes of their stay, please follow the link below:
THE VILLAGE lies in the heart of Transylvania, north-west of Brasov. Set in a lovely valley, this is a perfect starting point to visit Mesendorf, Roades, Cloasterf and other Saxon villages with fortified churches. The Viscri church is UNESCO designated and its origins date from 1100 when the Hungarian Szeklers first settled in the village. The Trust has restored part of the church and at least 50 facades, barns, walls and buildings in this beautifully intact village. The village has a rough bar, museum and coffee/clothes shop but no general store.
THE HOUSE sleeps 4. Two separate buildings opposite each other within a courtyard - each with own shower, hot and cold running water and internal WC. Kitchen separate with wood and/or gas stove.
THE JOURNEY: Drive from Bucharest through Brasov, through Rupea towards Sighisoara. Turn left at Bunesti for Viscri. Duration: Approx. 4 hours
THE VILLAGE is very well preserved due to its isolation, set far away from any town 13 kilometres down a country road, which eventually leads into the hills and forests. It is a perfect starting point to discover other secluded villages with fortified churches. Malancrav has the highest proportion of remaining Saxons in any village in Transylvania. The Lutheran church has rare 15th century frescoes and the oldest entire altarpiece (1520) still in original location in Transylvania. Close to the church is a hitherto abandoned Hungarian princely Manor House, beautifully restored by the MET. Adjacent to the Manor is an ancient orchard - now organic - also managed by the Trust. There are three small shops in the village selling basic food.
THE HOUSE sleeps 5 + 1 child under 8. It consists of two houses set together in courtyard, with a stable and barn leading into an orchard. Two large rooms in first house plus shower and WC (sleeps three). In second house one room (sleeps two) connecting to a basically equipped kitchen, and a dining room with a wood-burning stove. Outdoor summer kitchen.
THE JOURNEY: Drive from Bucharest to Brasov, and through Sighisoara towards Medias. Turn left at Laslea. First left in Laslea and then branch right to Malancrav.
For all guesthouse enquiries, please contact:

Earlier today, Twenty One Pilots released the music video for their new single, 'The Hype.' The video was filmed in Tyler and Josh's hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and features a handful of loyal fans. Not only does the video have a deep meaning, in true Twenty One Pilots fashion, but it's also FILLED with hidden messages and references to their past releases.
The video itself has a beautiful meaning that resonates with fans of the band. The video starts with Tyler literally opening a square of his chest, which is where the duration of the video takes place. People have come to realize that the video symbolizes the band being at the height of their career before they took a break, everything coming crashing down around them, but they were able to pick themselves up again because of the fans and people around them. As they say in the song, "Nice to know my kind will be on my side, I don't believe the hype."
A major reference that fans have noticed are the moments that allude back to the video for their hit single 'Stressed Out'. In both videos, there's similar shots of them jamming out inside of a house. At the end of 'The Hype', Josh hands Tyler a Capri Sun, a drink that was also featured in the 'Stressed Out' video. Many people believe that all of these references mean that although they may have become one of the biggest bands in the world, they're still the same two guys playing music in their houses in Ohio.
At another point in the video, Tyler and Josh stretch out their arms and seem to be hit with debris from the house they're in. This could be in reference to a lyric in their song 'Ride'.
Another Easter egg that fans are trying to figure out the meaning of is the fact that Tyler and Josh are seen wearing layers of flannel at one point of the video, and then taking it off later on. The fans in the video were even told to wear flannel. While some people may think this is just a minor detail, fans of Twenty One Pilots know that the band have a story for every single thing they do.
A fun part of the video is the fact that Ned, a beloved character from the universe Twenty One Pilots created with their album "Trench," also has his own time to shine! He's also wearing flannel, and is shown being hold by a fan at one point, and then hanging on her back.
Tyler opening and closing a part of his chest at the beginning and end of the video even is in reference to something they've done before. Their song 'Screen,' off their album "Vessel," has a lyric "There's a screen on my chest." This is a fan favorite song for Twenty One Pilots fans and it's pretty great to see them acknowledging their past.
A major part of their latest album "Trench" is the fact that Tyler and Josh put yellow tape on themselves and things around them. Tyler has stated before that the yellow tape is how the Banditos in the story are able to find each other and escape Dema. In 'The Hype' video, Tyler is seen putting yellow tape on his microphone stand and on a falling picture.
In general, 'The Hype' is a wholesome video that calls back to various fan favorite moments. It references most of their previous videos and shows the evolution the band has had the past few years. They're trying to say that even though they may be more successful than they could have ever imagined, they still appreciate the journey they've gone one with their fans.
Even if you aren't a fan of Twenty One Pilots and didn't catch all of these references, it's still an enjoyable video for an incredible song. Check it out and see if you can find any other hidden messages!

Executive Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government
On April 14, 2022, the Department of the Interior published its Equity Action Plan, which lays the foundation for removing barriers to equal opportunity and delivering resources and benefits equitably to all Americans.
EO 13985 calls on agencies to advance equity through identifying and addressing barriers to equal opportunity that underserved communities may face due to government policies and programs.
The Department has focused its implementation of EO 13985 on assessing three focus areas that support the agency mission and have high potential for equity impact:
- Contracts for Businesses with Characteristics that Align with the Definition of Underserved Community
- Recreation Access to DOI-managed Lands for Underserved Communities, and
- Applying For and Accessing Tribal Discretionary Grants
As part of its implementation of EO 13985, the Department of the Interior conducted virtual listening sessions and invited public comments to obtain input on barriers that underserved communities and individuals may face related to these three focus areas.
Learn more about the Department of the Interior's implementation of EO 13985, including summaries of virtual listening sessions.
Executive Order 13988: Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation
establishes a new government-wide policy against discrimination:
"Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love...All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.
"It is the policy of my Administration to prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, and to fully enforce Title VII and other laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. It is also the policy of my Administration to address overlapping forms of discrimination."
To implement this policy, EO 13988 requires all federal agencies to review all existing agency actions implemented under Title VII or other anti-sex discrimination laws, as well as all actions which may be inconsistent with the policy, and consider whether to revise, suspend or rescind them, or to take new actions. Agencies must also consider whether there are additional actions needed to fully implement the policy.
The Office of Policy Analysis is supporting the coordination of the Department's process of reviewing and updating agency actions. This process is being carried out in four phases over two years, concluding in 2023.
Executive Order 14020: Establishment of the White House Gender Policy Council
calls on the Federal Government to advance gender equity and equality:
"Advancing gender equity and equality is a matter of human rights, justice, and fairness...The full participation of all people—including women and girls—across all aspects of our society is essential to the economic well-being, health, and security of our Nation and of the world.
"This order is intended to advance gender equity and equality, with sensitivity to the experiences of those who suffer discrimination based on multiple factors, including membership in an underserved community."
In pursuit of that goal, EO 14020 establishes the White House Gender Policy Council to coordinate a Federal Government-wide strategy to improve gender equity and equality, and directs Federal agencies to implement that strategy.
The Office of Policy Analysis is supporting DOI's implementation of EO 14020 by conducting data-driven analyses on several topics related to gender equity at DOI, including:
- Gender equity and representation in the Senior Executive Service (SES)
- Gender equity and representation among science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workers
- Intersections between gender, race, and ethnicity in the STEM workforce
- Trends in gender equity and representation in the STEM workforce over time
Executive Order 14035: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce
is intended to strengthen the Federal workforce by ensuring that it is fair and accessible to Americans of all backgrounds:
"As the Nation's largest employer, the Federal Government must be a model for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, where all employees are treated with dignity and respect. Accordingly, the Federal Government must strengthen its ability to recruit, hire, develop, promote, and retain our Nation's talent and remove barriers to equal opportunity...The Federal Government should have a workforce that reflects the diversity of the American people."
To achieve this goal, EO 14035 calls for the Federal Government to strengthen its ability to recruit, hire, develop, promote, and retain talent and remove barriers to equal opportunity, establishing a Government-wide Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Strategic Plan. It also calls on agencies to provide resources and opportunities to strengthen and advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across the Federal Government. The Office of Policy Analysis is supporting DOI's Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights and the Office of Human Capital by conducting data-driven analyses for DOI's implementation of EO 14035.
If you have questions about the Department's implementation of any of these executive orders, please contact email@example.com.

BERLIN, May 25: Barack Obama received a rock-star welcome in Berlin as he appeared at a public debate Thursday with Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom he praised as one of his “favourite partners” during his presidency.
Security was tight in front of the German capital’s Brandenburg Gate, where the former U.S. president and Merkel appeared on a podium before tens of thousands of people attending a gathering marking the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. All visitors had their bags searched, police helicopters patrolled the skies and snipers with balaclavas watched the scene from nearby rooftops.
At the beginning of their discussion, Obama praised Merkel to the excited cheers of a crowd of young Protestants, who had travelled from all over Germany and beyond to attend the religious gathering.
“Not only do I love this city, but one of my favourite partners throughout my presidency is sitting next to me,” Obama said with a big smile. Merkel smiled right back at him.
“Chancellor Merkel has done outstanding work, not just here in Germany, but around the world,” Obama said.
After lauding Merkel, he launched a defence of his own presidency and the values of liberal democracy championed by both leaders.
Citing the rise of nationalism and xenophobia in parts of the world, Obama told the crowd that “we have to push back against those trends that would violate human rights or suppress democracy or restrict individual freedoms.”
In a veiled reference to his successor Donald Trump, who has proposed to cut support for diplomacy and international aid by nearly a third, Obama said those programs are essential aspects of national security policy.
“We can’t isolate ourselves. We can’t hide behind a wall,” he said, to cheers from the audience.
The former president and the chancellor, who grew up in a pastor’s household in East Germany, chatted about their faith and called on the youth to commit to helping make the world a better place while keeping in mind that changes don’t come quickly from one day to the next.
Referring to the terror attack in England just days ago, Obama said that he and the chancellor were “heartbroken about the loss of life ... and that it’s a reminder that there is great danger and terrorism and people who want to do great harm to others just because they’re different.”
Despite describing the world as “a very complicated place,” Obama and Merkel still found time to joke with each other and made the crowd laugh several times. The harmony and ease between the two leaders was a stark contrast to Merkel’s meeting with Trump in Washington in March, when the U.S. president appeared to refuse to shake Merkel’s hand in front of reporters. Trump has said he didn’t hear a reporter calling for a handshake.
Merkel, who hosted Obama at the same spot four years ago, was due to travel to Brussels later Thursday for a meeting with Trump and leader of other NATO-member states. PTI

Former Volunteers Gather to Mark the Anniversary of Smallpox Eradication
By Erica Burman on Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Whether they volunteered overseas in this millennium or decades ago, Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) manage to find each other everywhere! This time, scattered throughout a crowd of 150 guests, were six RPCVs who came to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the eradication of smallpox at the Public Health Museum in Tewksbury, MA on May 17.
Katie Reilly (Honduras 1999-2001) organized and reported on the event, noting that she invited RPCVs Jill Vickers and Jane Stebbins Flower — part of an all-female group that worked to vaccinate against smallpox in Afghanistan from 1969-1971 — to speak. The two shared their experiences and showed a film called “Once in Afghanistan,” produced by Dirt Road Documentaries, which highlights their group’s work in the late 1960s.
The healthcare field proved a popular career path for RPCVs, as demonstrated by Reilly and event speaker Mark LaPointe (Guinea 1963-1965). Reilly is a public health nurse who works for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and previously worked at Peace Corps headquarters for three years after returning from Honduras. LaPointe works for the Centers for Disease Control after spending time at the World Health Organization in Mali and Bangladesh working on smallpox eradication efforts in the early to mid-1970s, Reilly says.
The event provided RPCVs with the opportunity to celebrate “a great milestone in public health, the eradication of smallpox, which included the work of a very dedicated group of Peace Corps Volunteers,” says Reilly. It wasn’t until Reilly announced she was taking a picture of former Volunteers that she realized how many RPCVs were present. “It is great to know that the work of the Peace Corps lives on, both with currently serving volunteers and RPCVs making their mark on the world,” she says.

Bubonik Funk and more at Murphy’s
Bubonik Funk is coming to Murphy’s Friday, June 15, and the four-piece groove and jam band is bringing some friends.
Bubonik Funk, which formed in 2006, will be joined by Cosmodrome, a funk and soul band from Boston, Mass., and The Former Champions, an electro-rock band from Richmond, Va.
The last four years have found Bubnik Funk’s members at different colleges, and their album, “Zabooki,” promises to be representative of their musical and personal growth while being separated.
Band members Stefan Kallander, Dylan Ellett, Nick Mcowen and Daniel Allison have recently been reunited in their hometown of Charoltte to finish working on the release of “Zabooki,” which is set to drop June 29.
“The frustrations of being apart, mixed with the life-changing people and places we have interacted with, have certainly given our music more soul, a little more happiness, a little more pain, a little more sensuality,” Kallander said. “I feel you can hear life through this music.”
“Zabooki” will be focused on Bubonik Funk’s vocal harmony, pulling from the soul styles of Earth, Wind and Fire to D’Angelo, while keeping funk grooves throughout the album.
Bubonik Funk classifies itself as American rock but finds inspiration from a variety of genres, mixing vocals, guitar, organ, drums and bass to create a unique sound.
“Zabooki” will show three years of Bubonik Funk’s work as the band developed its songwriting style and experimented with vocal layers due to an increased presence of soul music in the band’s life.
“We’ve gotten better at being able to convert our visions into music,” Kallander said. “We feel like we’re just starting to become the band we know we can be and have such great fans to present it to. We are very excited for what’s to come.”
The show begins at 10 p.m. Friday, June 15, at Murphy’s Restaurant & Pub, located at 747 W. King St. Admission costs $5, and only those 21 and older will be admitted.

Keynote address: Collaboration to fast forward Africa’s energy transition
Ministerial address: Minister Gwede Mantashe, Minister, Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, South Africa
Keynote panel discussion South Africa’s $8.5 billion energy transition deal, signed at COP26, is made up of financial instruments including government grants, concessional loans and “risk-sharing instruments” designed to mobilise the private sector, over a three-to-five-year period. In practice, this funding will serve three goals: early retirement of coal plants, building cleaner energy sources, and support for coal-dependent regions. Retiring coal plants and supporting coal-dependent regions will be a political challenge. The transition away from coal threatens 120,000 jobs at heavily unionized mines and power plants, in a country that by some measures has the world’s highest unemployment rate and where one job often feeds a large family.
But the energy transition will also require new energy sources and thus new jobs (though those rarely go to former coal workers).
- Allocation of funding, breakdown of grants vs loans and other risk sharing instruments
- Plans to address the loss of jobs at power plants and mines and reskill the existing workforce
- Proposals to effect the energy transition
Moderator: Max Jarrett, Energy Expert, France

In deciding which presidential candidate to support in 2008, which single issue is most important to you?
The economy and jobs 20%
The war in Iraq 18%
Taxes and government spending 11%
National defense/terrorism 11%
Health care 6%
Energy/gas and fuel prices 5%
Foreign policy 5%
Poll conducted 11/19
Our economy is in a mess right now. Our national debt has risen spectacularly in the last eight years. We have flushed billions down the toilet in Iraq; many families risk foreclosures on their home loans; and the value of the dollar, before one of the most stable of currencies worldwide, has sunk precariously. Enormous profits have gone somewhere in the spectacular price increases in oil, all on the backs of those who can least afford it. Fixing the economy is our greatest need.
-John Larish, principal, Jonrel Imaging Consultants
It is essential to get the budget into shape and stop the drain on our resources.
-Robert Penty, Rochester
Ending the war in Iraq will return needed resources in energy and funds back to the U.S. for addressing energy efficiency and environmental restoration and lack of educational and job opportunities for the lower/middle class.
-Connie Ehindero, Parallel Print Inc.
On the issue of national defense/terrorism, if the USA is attacked again and our infrastructure and economy are destroyed or severely weakened, all the other issues become meaningless!
Thirty years ago, we were in an energy crisis-where has our leadership been for the past three decades? Who has the courage and foresight to lead now? Sadly, the present slate of candidates have exhibited no leadership on this issue.

This short documentary is a beautiful and emotional brushstroke of Cabo Cope, a ledge of land of calcareous origin that represents one of the most emblematic natural spaces on the coast of Murcia. Moorish tortoises, Bonelli’s eagles and trumpeter finches live in its wild escarpments and, under the waters that bathe it, a valuable population of dolphins and pilot whales.

#WalangPasok – August 6 2016 declared a holiday in Cebu
The province of Cebu will be celebrating its 447th foundation anniversary this coming August 6, Saturday.
August 6 of every year is a special non-working public holiday throughout Cebu as stipulated by Republic Act 8952. The law was enacted in 2000 during the administration of then-President Joseph Estrada.
The day is also a holiday in Cebu City and Mandaue City as well as in Lapulapu, Danao, and Toledo. The full text of RA 8952 can be read in this link.
Interestingly, Cebuanos had been celebrating August 6 as their province’s foundation day since 1993 – or years before RA 8952 was enacted. At that time, Cebu’s provincial council stressed that King Philip II’s appointment of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi as governor of Cebu on August 6, 1569 “marked the foundation, although loosely, of a province of Cebu.” It must be remembered that the Philippines was named after King Philip II.
Because of its huge population, Cebu has always played a critical role during presidential elections. In fact, the candidate that won in the province ultimately won the presidency in five of the six presidential elections since 1986.
Cebu is particularly credited for providing the winning margin for Fidel Ramos in 1992 and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2004. Both elections were marred in controversy because the vote difference between the top contenders was very close.


Continental is constantly increasing its actions within the space of round economic system. To this finish, the premium tire producer has signed a growth settlement with Pyrum Improvements, a specialist within the pyrolysis of end-of-life tires. The goal of the collaboration is to additional optimize and broaden the recycling of end-of-life tires by way of pyrolysis. Sooner or later, amongst different issues, notably high-quality recovered carbon black (rCB) is to be obtained for tire manufacturing of Continental. Carbon black is a vital element of many tire compounds. Through the use of high-quality carbon black, the efficiency of tires will be particularly improved. Continental’s subsidiary, Reifen-Entsorgungsgesellschaft (REG), will start supplying end-of-life tires from the premium producer to Pyrum as early as March 2022. In the long run, the goal is to ascertain a round economic system idea for the recycling of end-of-life tires. Since Pyrum’s IPO in 2021, Continental has already held a strategic minority stake within the firm.
“In Pyrum we’ve discovered a associate who has developed a very environment friendly pyrolysis course of. Collectively we wish to additional develop the processes for the pyrolysis of end-of-life tires. Our aim is to recuperate precious supplies and high-performance uncooked supplies on an industrial scale sooner or later, amongst different issues for Continental’s tire manufacturing”, explains Dr. Andreas Topp, Head of Supplies- and Course of Growth and Industrialization at Continental Tires. He provides: “Continental has formidable sustainability objectives. It’s important for us to preserve sources. That’s why we’re repeatedly increasing our options for the round economic system.”
“Now we have been in shut change with Continental for a while and are wanting ahead to additional increasing our collaboration with this settlement. Our enterprise mannequin is already totally sustainable. Along with Continental, we now wish to go the following step in direction of a sustainable tire trade”, says Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Improvements.
Industrial carbon black is a vital useful resource utilized in tire manufacturing and within the manufacture of different industrial rubber merchandise. Carbon black recovered from end-of-life tires saves fossil uncooked supplies and can contribute considerably to lowering CO2 emissions. The precise use of carbon black in rubber compounds will increase the soundness, energy and sturdiness of tires. In a regular passenger automotive tire, the quantity of carbon black to which tires owe their black shade is 15-20 p.c.
Round economic system an integral a part of Continental’s sustainability technique
Sustainable supplies and round economic system are an essential a part of Continental’s sustainability technique. “Finish-of-life tires are a uncooked materials for Continental within the unsuitable place. We consider that round economic system is the mannequin of the long run. Fashionable, extremely environment friendly pyrolysis processes are essential to us on this regard”, says Claus Petschick, Head of Sustainability at Continental Tires. He provides, “As a part of our formidable sustainability technique, we’ll improve the usage of sustainable supplies in our tire merchandise to one hundred pc by 2050 on the newest, for which recycled supplies will make a big contribution. As a part of a closed-loop system, tires will in future change into the beginning materials for brand new tires.”
Round economic system idea for the recycling of end-of-life tires, together with the restoration of recycled carbon black (rCB).

Toby Barraud, Kiwi film maker living in New York, interviewed in "Metro" May 2006.
I asked him in a follow-up email if he ever saw himself coming back to New Zealand and - before predictable talk about how if he had children he would want to raise them here - he wrote that his time in New York had been mostly hard work, struggling to survive and get ahead.
"But of course, now that everything is in place I think about changing it all again by moving somewhere else. I guess that's the nature of attainment - it's not until you get to the top of the ladder that you wonder if it's propped against the right wall."
Not sure where this cartoon comes from - will acknowledge if I can find out - but it's making the same point.

New advertising campaign in print and television is trying to address attitudes to alcohol in New Zealand. The theme is "It's not the drinking - it's how we are drinking" and seeks to link behaviours with outcomes by stressing consequences. Coming from Scotland I am hardly in a position to lecture any culture on its attitude to alcohol.
But for a country which prides itself on a healthy, outdoors, quality of life culture the kiwi statistics are interesting. Remember our population is just over 4 million - which makes some of these figures quite stark.
88 percent of men and 83 percent of women are happy to claim that they are drinkers.
Nearly half the population thinks that it is okay to get drunk.
25 percent of current teenage drinkers admit to having drunk at least five glasses of alcohol
at least once in the last two weeks.
125,000 teenagers under the age of 17 fall into the category of binge drinkers. 75,000 will
drink regularly – once every two weeks – and binge. 50,000 drink at least once a week and
binge, usually with the intention of getting drunk.
635,000 adults drink at least once a week and binge. 785,000 adults drink regularly, often
every day, and with equal regularity binge.
1.2 million drinkers are okay with bingeing or accepting of bingeing and regularly do so.
450,000 of us were binge drinking on our last drinking occasion.
In New Zealand we estimate that alcohol harm costs somewhere between $1 billion and $4
billion a year.
It costs the public health sector $655 million.
It costs in crime and related costs $240 million.
It costs in social welfare $200 million and in other government spending $330 million.
In lost productivity, it costs about $1.17 billion a year.
Alcohol is responsible for 70 percent of accident and emergency hospital admissions.
75 to 90 percent of weekend crime is attributable to alcohol.
One in four women can’t remember what they did while drinking.
The advertisements aim to get New Zealanders to see the connection between getting drunk and the harms that result.
"It's not the fact that we drink that's the problem; the problem is how we drink, that is, the excessive per occasion consumption," says ALAC Chief Executive Officer Dr Mike MacAvoy. "The first step to change is to get people to link that pattern with harms, and at the moment many don't recognise that connection. We're not likely to get behaviour change if no-one thinks it's their problem. So that is what our advertising campaign will do at first.
"New Zealand is a nation that seems to pride itself on the 'save it up for Friday night' style of drinking, the 'we deserve a drink' perspective or consider 'it's a rite of passage that causes little harm'.
Why are we drinking so much? Why are we so accepting of teenagers and students abuse of alcohol?
What is complicated too is working out what is cause and what is effect. If we are serious about addressing the issue we need to be tough on the things which drive people to drink, like poverty and unemployment.
Perhaps after all that - you feel you need a drink.

I live on an island. The majority of people on this island were unknown to me before the plane brought us here. There is much that is hard to understand in this world: What is the nature of the opposition? What is the meaning of the messages? How do we make sense of our experiences?
This much I have in common with the characters in "Lost". Admittedly there are some significant differences.I have not had to cope with polar bears, hide from "the others" or press buttons down the hatch.
The genius of "Lost" is that it draws you into a mystery. We are moving towards the Series 2 conclusion in NZ and there is much that is unresolved. I guess the writers may know where it is heading. I presume they had a plan to end it plausibly at the end of Series 1 if the ratings bombed. Actually I doubt if the final denouement will be satisfying but answers is not really what "Lost" is about.
"Lost" is about a journey, it concerns the relationship of characters with complex pasts into which we are granted unique insights. Each of the main characters has a story. There is no single hero and no one leader.
One of the interesting dynamics is between Locke and Jack. I heard a sermon recently in the US which tied together two quotes highlighting their relationship.
From Exodus 2 in Series 1
LOCKE: I believe that I was tested.
LOCKE: Yeah. Tested. I think that's why you and I don't see eye to eye sometimes, Jack. Because you're a man of science.
JACK: Yeah. And what does that make you?
LOCKE: Me? Well, I'm a man of faith. Do you really think all this is an accident? That we, a group of strangers, survived, many of us with just superficial injuries? You think we crashed on this place by coincidence? Especially this place? We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason -- all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason.
JACK: Brought here. And who brought us here, John?
LOCKE: The island. The island brought us here. This is no ordinary place. You've seen that. I know you have. The island chose you, too, Jack. It's destiny.
and from Orientation in Series 2
JACK: No. It's not real. Look, you want to push the button, you do it yourself.
LOCKE: If it's not real, then what are you doing here, Jack? Why did you come back? Why do you find it so hard to believe?
JACK: Why do you find it so easy?
LOCKE: It's never been easy!
The point being made was that the way of faith is not easy but that faced with the evidence there is no real alternative.
Interesting as that thought is - it misses much of what "Lost" has to say.
As I learn to live on this island, not the Lost island but Aotearoa, I need to appreciate what makes my fellow travellers who they are, listen to the questions, issues and challenges which arise from the context and communicate honestly out of experience. Yes there is hope, yes there is rescue and yes there is One who seeks and saves. But to tell that story well...
I need to learn again what it means to be lost.

13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

“Drunken Birds,” Canada’s official selection for Best International Film at next year’s Oscars, is a love story told in a dazzling, unexpected style. Mexican drug cartel minion Willy (Jorge Antonio Guerrero, the bad boyfriend in “Roma”) has fallen in love with his boss’ wife Marlena, which nearly costs him his life.
The movie then charts Willy’s journey to find Marlena, a quest which takes him to a life as a migrant worker on a produce farm in Quebec. Along the way, there are many surprising discoveries. Including, yes, a white tiger.
“The type of cinema that’s always inspired us is where you’re actively involved and developing your own narratives as the story goes along,” the film’s cinematographer Sara Mishara, who co-wrote the film along with director Ivan Grbovic, told TheWrap in the video above. A key sequence in the movie, which appears early on and gains significance as the story goes on, involves Willy and some fellow underlings walking through the drug kingpin’s mansion, apparently after a raid.
“We wrote a scene set at a castle-like mansion in Mexico and assumed it would be easy to find,” explained Grbovic. “It turned out that it was not easy to find.” According to the director, 80 percent of the movie was shot in and around Montreal, including a scene set in China, where the film crew could not travel after the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020. But the Mexican mansion needed to be authentic in order for the scene to click.
“We couldn’t find our mansion,” continued Grbovic. “I’d seen a lot of these colonial, baroque style places. And then our extras casting agent, she was overhearing conversations. And she was like, Are you looking for a mansion? I just shot a telenovela at this guy’s crazy place. You gotta go see it.’”
And for sure, outside Mexico City, Grbovic and company struck gold.
“This guy had two tigers, one black panther, a horde of bisons, a hundred wolves,” he recalled. “He was a painter, a renaissance man. He had pianos, who the hell knows what else. And there was a carousel inside the mansion. He had his own brand of tequila. We could go on and on. Arguably a documentary on this person would be even better. He’s a controversial figure, but nonetheless he was very nice to us and let us do practically whatever we wanted. ”
The script called for a kitschy painting of the husband character, which becomes an important totem in the film. The real-life mansion owner, said Mishara with a laugh, “He had hundreds of paintings of himself naked. It was like millions more than what we had written.”
“Drunken Birds” evokes a unique vibe of dreamy magical realism, as seen in the beginning of the Mexican mansion sequence, which opens with an out-of-context image of the white tiger in the grass. But even for the filmmakers, restraint was needed in the making of the scene.
“There were two tigers but I only wanted to use one in the film,” said Grbovic. “You know, sometimes people would read the script and they might say that I’m going too far in the depiction of a foreign culture. And nowadays you have to be careful in how you depict cultures that aren’t your own. But here you go. He had two tigers.”
Also in the video interview, Grbovic cited the influence of Jennifer Egan’s “A Visit From the Goon Squad,” the 2011 Pulitzer-winning novel. Egan’s book is a short story collection in which a minor character in one chapter becomes the lead character in another. Indeed, Mishara and Grbovic’s screenplay originally focused on a farmer’s wife (played by Canadian actress Hélène Florent), who now exists as one of the facets of Willy’s story.
Furthermore, Mishara mentioned the importance of Terrence Malick’s 1978 classic “Days of Heaven” on the beautifully golden sunlit photography in “Drunken Birds,” which, significantly, was shot on 35mm film. And she singled out Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1999 ensemble “Magnolia” on this movie’s structure and stylistic ambition.
In “Magnolia,” she said, “You have many different characters and there’s absurdity and beauty and humor, a little bit of everything all mixed together. I like that, as a spectator, you can be caught off guard. And all of the different pieces of the puzzle don’t necessarily fit perfectly together. That’s an exciting type of cinema to watch. We were trying to create a rhythm where the spectator is constantly engaged to put together his or her own feelings about what’s going on on the screen.”
Check out the video above for more about the making of “Drunken Birds,” including the meaning of its title. Hint: It has to do with the translation from French to English of the word for intoxication.

Vitamin C for cold
As vitamin C helps in boosting immunity it can help in controlling the symptoms of cold. Various studies have closely observed the effect of vitamin C on cold. Vitamin C supplements were used for years to control the onset of a cold. But there was a requirement of further studies to claim the benefits of vitamin C for cold.
In 2013, a study highlighted that vitamin C may not reduce the incidents of catching cold. But vitamin C can definitely reduce the severity of cold and reduce its duration. The study also elaborated that 1-2 grams for children and 6-8 grams of vitamin C for adults can give effective results.
Consumption of Vitamin C rich foods can also reduce the risk of infections and also reduces the duration of the infection which results in better outcome.
