It’s a good idea to start simple when your are planting your first few instant containers. This basket is a great inspiration for beginners because it is not only very easy to plant but also gorgeous after it is done. You can’t get much better than that!
Dragon wing begonias are one of my favorite container plants. They are difficult to find in 4” pots because they don’t look too good when they are so small. However, if you see any, I highly recommend trying them. They are showier than the more-common wax begonias, and unusual as well.
If you can’t find them and like this look, substitute wax begonias. They are almost always available in red.
Dragon Wing Begonia: 15 plants from 4.5” pots
‘Mardi Gras’ Coleus: 15 plants from 4.5” pots
Mammey Croton: 1 plant from a 3-gallon pot
Light: Light shade is ideal.
Season: Spring through fall for most warmer areas. This plant mix takes temperatures from about 38 degrees to the low-90’s. In a bit more shade, it withstands temperatures into the mid-90’s.
Lifespan: Three to five months in this container.
Care: Fertilize on planting day with a slow-release mix. Repeat if the leaves look yellowish or washed-out. Pinch the coleus and the begonias to keep them from getting taller than the croton centerpiece. Since the centerpiece is so short, you’ll need to pinch at least once a month.
Water: Water when the plants show signs of wilt or the soil feels dry when you push your fingertip into the potting mix – up to your second knuckle. I watered this one every day (after it was about a month old) in midsummer and every other day in cooler weather.
Troubleshooting: No problems. This was a wonderful, trouble-free basket.

“Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physically distancing,” Walensky said. When you`re fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things you stopped doing because of the pandemic. Sisolak has not ruled out introducing stricter rules if there is a future increase in cases, or when he might lift the state`s two-year-old declaration of emergency. Sisolak noted that the new policy does not apply to airports, planes or public transit, where wearing a face covering is required by the federal requirement to wear a transport mask, which has been extended until at least March 18. The new policy, which went into effect Feb. 10, reversed an earlier decision to require masks on casino floors. Private businesses such as casinos and school districts can also impose masks, though the state would no longer require them for teachers starting Friday. Las Vegas Nellis Air Force Base and several other locations in the city reintroduced indoor mask requirements as Covid cases rose. About a year later — and shortly after Sisolak signaled that he would be willing to let local officials handle future battles against coronavirus policy — the governor issued an emergency order requiring residents of counties with high rates of COVID-19 transmission to wear masks indoors. The announcement came hours after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged all Americans, regardless of vaccination status, to wear masks indoors in areas with high coronavirus transmission. Several casinos have announced plans to drop the mask requirement, including MGM Resorts, whose Las Vegas hotels include the ARIA, Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mirage, New York-New York and more, and the new Resorts World Las Vegas, which celebrated the news on Twitter with a video. The Strip`s newest megaresort, Resorts World Las Vegas, even went so far as to post a video on Twitter about ending the mask requirement and mixing a clip of Sisolak`s announcement with images of guests partying at his clubs. The update comes a day after Nevada Gov.
Steve Sisolak issued a policy aligning state policy with new CDC mask guidelines released earlier in the day. Fully vaccinated Nevadans can now remove their masks and the need for social distancing outdoors and most indoors. “No one wants to be the mask police and tell people to put them on when they`re having a good time,” Thayer said. The decision to require customers to wear masks comes at a time when COVID-19 cases are rising in several places in the United States. MGM Resorts — which operates Bellagio, MGM Grand and other properties in Las Vegas — is the latest entertainment company to require a face mask policy for guests at its properties across the country. Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, went from moderate to high on June 9. This designation, which is based on the number of cases and hospitalizations, is accompanied by a general recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that people wear masks. Sisolak pointed to a decline in cases and hospitalizations, as well as the greater availability of coronavirus tests, which were among the reasons he felt it was time to remove masks. Now that the pandemic seems to have evolved from something that controlled our lives to a more secondary nuisance, Covid has erupted again. The number of cases in Las Vegas has increased and some sites in the city have decided to reinstate the requirement to wear a mask indoors. CARSON CITY, Nevada – The masks are falling (again). AMC, the nation`s largest movie theater chain, has also revised its mask policy.
The exhibitor declared on the 18th. June that customers must wear masks in areas of the country where the policy is mandatory before changing course a day later, noting: “Those who are not willing to wear a mask will not be admitted or allowed to stay.” LAS VEGAS, NV — In the hours and days since Nevada lifted its statewide mask mandate, casinos have struggled to lift face covering requirements, with some even raising a virtual drink at the end of the term. Experiencing excesses during a Las Vegas vacation has different meanings for everyone, but no one imagines that their Vegas vacation involves wearing a mask (at least one that will protect you from Covid). While fully vaccinated guests can remove masks, staff at the MGM complex are still required to wear face coverings — even if they are vaccinated, Hornbuckle said. Now, just in time for the Super Bowl, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak has dropped the requirement to wear a mask indoors. This is very good news for Caesars Entertainment (CZR) – Get Free Report and MGM Resorts International (MGM) – Get Free Report, which together dominate the Las Vegas Strip. LAS VEGAS — Fully vaccinated guests are no longer required to wear masks at MGM Resorts hotels on the Strip. MGM Resorts quickly turned back. “Effective today, guests and employees will no longer be required to wear masks indoors or outdoors,” Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and president of MGM Resorts, wrote in a letter to employees, pointing to exceptions where government-issued warrants continue to exist in Massachusetts, Maryland and Michigan. The casinos were full, the Strip was even closed to cars to accommodate the huge crowds, and the requirement to wear a mask was a thing of the past. Wynn Resorts Ltd., which operates Wynn Las Vegas and Encore, will no longer require masks at Las Vegas properties.
The Venetian of Las Vegas Sands is also waiving the requirement to wear masks for guests and employees. The resort company said the new rules would take effect on June 26. Nevada`s new mask policy follows similar decisions to make masks optional for the nation`s governors, including California and New York. “No, we will not ask guests for proof of their vaccination status,” Brian Ahern, director of media relations at MGM Resorts, said in an email. “The State of Nevada and the Gaming Control Board do not require companies to verify a guest`s vaccination status, so it is assumed that a guest who is not wearing a mask is fully vaccinated.” “Under Governor Sisolak`s Emergency Policy 052, individuals are no longer required to wear masks in indoor public spaces of licensed gaming facilities unless a local jurisdiction still imposes such a requirement,” said Brin Gibson, Chair of the Oversight Committee. “If a licensee is subject to a local government`s mask requirements, council expects licensees to fully comply with them.” USA TODAY has reached out to several other casino chains to seek mask policy changes. The Reno Gazette Journal asked MGM Resorts how they would monitor whether guests without masks are vaccinated and whether staff would request vaccination records. Prior to Thursday`s announcement, Nevada was one of six states to have an intact mask mandate. Cynthia Ruiz and Cecilia Alberto, who work at Toucan`s Charlie`s dessert station in Atlantis, both said they would continue to wear masks while working. On June 24, MGM revised its face mask policy, adding, “Guests who do not wish to comply are asked to vacate the property.” Nevada has lifted its statewide mask requirement, making face coverings optional at Las Vegas casinos and other popular hot spots. This raised the specter that Las Vegas casinos could be forced to introduce a mask requirement.
Fortunately, at least for casino operators who want mask-wearing to remain optional, such a move doesn`t seem imminent, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle noted during the company`s fourth-quarter earnings conference call that the first quarter, or at least January, suffered due to omicron and the pandemic. However, he made it clear he expected a U-turn — and the call came days before the governor lifted the mask requirement, though it seemed likely that would happen. Nevada students and teachers have been required to wear masks in schools since August 2021, despite ongoing frustrations with enforcing the rule. In addition, the Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center has made masks mandatory, while the University of Nevada Las Vegas has strongly suggested students and staff wear them on campus, but has not made masks mandatory. This is not something casino operators would like to return, as the requirement to wear a mask discourages travelers from seeking a “normal” vacation. But if cases rise, is that something to worry about for Caesars, MGM, Wynn Resorts (WYNN) – Get Free Report and other operators? By order of the governor, the Nevada Gaming Control Board issued its own policy that also lifted the requirement to wear a mask “unless a local jurisdiction still imposes such a requirement.” Alberto added that ending the mask requirement is good for customers who don`t like wearing masks. She also expects to be busy as more and more customers will come to the casino and restaurants.

You wouldn’t guess this from just hearing the tracks, but this is a Cheese Themed Jazz Album. Not cheese in the sense of “badly done” or “campy,” but in the sense of a semi-solid fermented dairy product first developed in the Middle East. With musicians from Iran, Pakistan and Morocco, you might expect something exotic, and the sound offered here is a layered complex (or complex layering) of rhythms, odd noises, and broken time signatures. Song titles provoke, and “When the Curd Meets the Rennet,” “Whey It Out,” and “It Shall Ripen” offer strong smells and strong compositions. A sense of foreboding infuses one track, blatant electrical distortion another, and Art Blakey haunts the rest.
Not as smooth as the works of Stan Getz, but beyond Thelonious Monk’s early compositions, this group taunts us with shattered shards of melodies, partially reassembled with Elmer’s Glue and duct tape. Perhaps they make this up as a jam, perhaps it’s notated out in 64th notes, but its soul lies somewhere over the middle Atlantic, just about 28 degrees north on a line connecting two societies at odds, but potentially united in music.

ROCHESTER, NY – Junior Taylor Wisman (Seattle, WA/Inglemoor) scored with 2:28 to play in overtime leading the No. 3 RIT (16-2) men’s lacrosse team to a 10-9 win over Clarkson (10-6) in the 2013 Liberty League Men’s Lacrosse Championship on Sunday afternoon. The Tigers win their second straight Liberty League title and earn the automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament.
“I am very proud of our whole team,” said RIT Head Coach Jake Coon. “I am really happy for our seniors who go out having won four straight league championships.”
Wisman, named Co-MVP along with Elliot Cowburn (Oakville, ON/Holy Trinity), scored three of RIT’s last four goals including the game-tying and the game winning goals. Cowburn was all over the field for RIT, grabbing six ground balls and causing three turnovers.
Wisman and Jack Krzyston (Bedford, NH/Bishop Guertin) led RIT with three goals apiece. Kyle Aquin (Hamilton, Ontario/St. Jean De Brebeuf) scored two goals, while Allister Warren (Toronto, Ontario/Malvern Collegiate Institute) and Eddie Kiesa (Syracuse, NY/Jamesville-Dewitt) each had a goal and two assists for the Tigers who advance to their 15th Division III Tournament and fourth in as many years.
Pat Johnston (Norwell, MA/Norwell) picked up his sixteenth win in net for the Tigers, making 11 saves earning All-Tournament Team honors. Joe Dupra (Pittsford, NY/Pittsford Mendon) had two ground balls, two caused turnovers and saved a ball off the goal line late in the game. Tyler Brooks-Lambert (Seneca Castle, NY/Midlakes) won 9-of-14 face-offs and had five ground balls earing All-Tournament Team honors.
Brendon Shearin led Clarkson with five goals, earning All-Tournament Team honors. Ryan Cole was outstanding in net for the Golden Knights, making 14 saves and earning All-Tournament Team honors, while Brian Freeland had two caused turnovers and four ground balls also earning All-Tournament Team honors. Corey Herrington had a goal and two assists for Clarkson who fall to 10-6 on the season.
RIT trailed 5-2 at the half, 8-5 after three quarters, but rallied with four goals in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 9-9 with 1:23 to play in regulation on Wisman’s third goal of the game.
“Credit goes to Clarkson,” said RIT Head Coach Jake Coon. “They played a great game, and Cole played extremely well.”
The play started when Clarkson tried scoring into an open net off a 10-man ride. Shearin had a shot, but Dupra stood in the goal and made the save. Wisman scooped up the loose ball, bulled his through Clarkson defenders, drove to the net, and beat Cole with a good low shot, tying the game at 9-9. The goal was Wisman’s 100th career point at RIT.
“The guys showed tremendous character to win in overtime,” said Coon. “It shows how much we have matured from the beginning of the season to now.”
The Tigers won the ensuing face-off and had a chance inside the last minute to win the game in regulation, but Warren’s shot was wide of the mark sending the game into overtime.
Brooks-Lambert won the opening face-off in the overtime period, giving RIT first possession. After a time out, Wisman gathered the ball up top and drove hard right to the net. He came back to his left hand and fired a shot passed Cole, giving the Tigers the title.
Clarkson came out firing in the first quarter, taking a 2-0 lead on goals by Shearin and Peter Goss 6:13 into the game.
Aquin made it 2-1 Clarkson on his 47th goal of the season off an assist from Warren with 3:10 to play in the opening quarter.
Shearin scored his second of the game to open the scoring in the second quarter, giving the Golden Knights a 3-1 lead. After Krzyston scored off an assist from Brad Gillies (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas), made it 3-2, the Golden Knights rattled off two straight to close out the half leading 4-2.
Herrington opened the second half scoring, giving the Golden Knights their largest lead of the game at 7-3 with 11:10 to play in the quarter, off an assist from Matthew Gold.
Goals by Aquin and Krzyston cut Clarkson’s lead to 7-5. The man-up goal was Aquin’s 16th man-up goal of the season, tying the school record for most man-up goals in a season with Tom Kraft who set the record back in 1988.
Robert Linder gave Clarkson an 8-5 lead with his goal off an assist from Peter Goss with 1:04 to play in the third quarter.
Warren opened the fourth quarter scoring with his man-up goal off an assist from gillies at the 13:50 mark of the quarter, cutting Clarkson’s lead to 8-6.
Shearin made it 9-6 Clarkson on his fifth goal of the game with 12:46 to play in the fourth quarter.
The Tigers help the Golden Knights scoreless over the final 12:46 of regulation and the first 1:32 of overtime, including Dupra’s save off the line late in regulation.
Wisman made it 9-7 Clarkson with 11:47 to play on his 21st tally of the season.
Kiesa took a feed from Wisman with 3:38 to play in regulation, cutting Clarkson’s lead to 9-8. It was Kiesa’s 32nd goal of the season and the closest RIT had been since the second quarter.
Wisman scored the next two for RIT sending the game into overtime and then winning it in the overtime period.
RIT has now won 18 straight home games and are 42-3 at home since the start of the 2010 season. The Tigers have won four straight conference championships, including two straight Empire 8 titles (2010, 2011), and two straight Liberty League titles (2012, 2013).
“We have to be ready for the NCAA Tournament,” said Coon. “Our guys have to play a full 60 minutes to advance.”

Why using foreign contractors helps prolong America's foreign wars
First it was sacks of rice. Then frozen chicken. Later, even a television. The goods were wrapped tightly in plastic bags and thrown in with the other trash in a truck. “It was simple,” Raj, a former employee, told me. “They were buying supplies and then just throwing them out.” Outside the American base in Afghanistan where Raj worked, the bags were offloaded in the market and sold to local Afghans. A piece of the profit went to the head of the kitchen staff, who organized the operation.
While we sipped coffee at a roadside cafe in southern India, about 1,500 miles from the private military compound that supplied fuel to U.S. bases in Southern Afghanistan, Raj explained how his boss made it clear that the missing items were to be labeled “lost” or “stolen,” in order to keep the books balanced.
RELATED:6 companies that are the most reliant on government contracts

OPINION:Afghan war no place to turn a profit
For six years, Raj was one of more than 100,000 non-American contract employees working for the Department of Defense in Afghanistan. For most of this conflict, there have been more contractors working on U.S. contracts than there have been U.S. military personnel in the country. Through no fault of their own, the shift from American soldiers to contractors like Raj has made the war more expensive, less democratic, and more dangerous.
Contractors come from countries that include Bosnia, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, the Philippines, and Nepal, to name a few — and do much of the day-to-day work of the war. But unlike soldiers deployed to these war zones, they have fewer rights and fewer protections. Most can be fired at a moment’s notice. If injured, some receive compensation, but others I interviewed did not. Many had borrowed significant amounts of money from brokers to get their initial contracts, meaning they lived in fear of termination. With constant anxiety over deportation, it's a recipe for corruption and abuse.
In Raj’s case, being a vulnerable low-level administrator gave him a perfect view of the corruption and mismanagement of the war in Afghanistan, but no ability to do anything about it. As a manager, he oversaw the work of the mostly South Asian laborers on the base and could watch various scams in progress. He knew that his American and European bosses did little to hide these operations since they did not fear being reported by those below them. By contrast, if Raj complained, he could be fired and sent out of the country on the next flight.
Like many of his colleagues in low-level management, he was from Kerala and had struggled to find work in India. “There are no jobs here,” he said. So he stayed quiet. So did thousands of other contractors who felt they had no other means to support their families, inadvertently becoming a part of a corrupt war economy.
Raj’s story also helps explain why many U.S. voters have lost interest in America’s ongoing wars. With the bulk of the work being done by contractors rather than their children and neighbors, Americans have stopped paying attention. In the process, they’ve given up much of the democratic oversight that is meant to help shape American foreign policy.
The shift to contracting means that military strategies are less likely to be discussed in public forums and more likely to be simply embedded in contracting or budget agreements out of public view.
When things go wrong on a contract, companies have significant incentives to cover up their shortcomings, while lower-ranking workers such as Raj are pressured to remain silent. Further, as the work has shifted to international contractors, wars are increasingly shaped not by generals and soldiers, but by companies and businessmen who run them and who are primarily driven by profit.
In part, these wars also remain out of the news because of a deliberate strategy by the U.S. military to limit access to information about the war. The majority of international reporters in Iraq and Afghanistan embed with U.S. troops and report primarily through the lens of the experience of an American soldier. They do not visit bases like the one that Raj worked on.
Little reporting is done on contract workers. In fact, the total number of these workers is impossible to track because some U.S. government agencies outside the Department of Defense — including the U.S. Agency for International Development — didn’t even record the number of contract workers they were employing until recently.
Other agencies still don’t.
Department of Labor statistics suggest that almost 4,000 contractors have been killed while working to support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and this number includes only those working directly for the Department of Defense. Contractors have self-reported these numbers to the U.S. government, so the real number of those killed is no doubt higher.
While Raj returned home fine, other colleagues were not so lucky. More than one I spoke with had been kidnapped — a difficult situation for someone from a country like Nepal, which had no diplomatic presence in the country.
The number of contractors the U.S. employs in Afghanistan has decreased, but not as quickly as the number of troops. This means that while in 2011 there were about 1.5 contractors for every U.S. soldier in Afghanistan, there are now three contractors for every soldier, making contractors increasingly the face of the U.S. presence.
We are not so far from a world where wars between rich nations are fought entirely by contractors.

During the build up to the Chinese New Year, the Door Gods are placed on the external doors of houses.
During the build up to the Chinese New Year, the Door Gods are placed on the external doors of houses. This is an age of tradition dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD). The Emperor Taizong is said to have fallen ill, and had a dream in which ghosts came to the palace in search for him. He recounted this tale to his officials the next day, and the story quickly spread throughout the Imperial Court. Such matters, during that time, were not taken lightly.
The emperors top two generals, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, both of whom had fought to establish the Tang dynasty stood guard outside the emperor's bedroom door.
The emperor slept soundly in the knowledge that he was protected by these two generals, and had no further dreams of the ghosts. However, after a few nights, the emperor became concerned for the generals. He ordered that two paintings be made, one of each general. Once completed, the emperor had these hung on the door to his room, and relieved the generals.
This tale soon became widely known, and in their eagerness to share the protection of these Door Gods the common people made their own paintings and placed them on their doors. The tradition has continued ever since.

In addition to showing off the games that will grace its upcoming Xbox 360 next-generation console, Microsoft used the X05 event to announced the formation of a strategic marketing alliance with sportswear manufacturer Adidas.
According to the terms of the agreement, cross-promotional activities will include:
- Xbox 360 kiosks being placed in Adidas stores worldwide and at grassroots football events leading up to next year's FIFA World Cup in Germany.
- Joint sponsorship of MTV's "Goal - Germany 2006" TV series, kicking off this November, which charts the progress of 10 young footballers (soccer players for our American audience) trying to make it into their national squads in time for next summer's tournament.
- Various cross-promotional exercises to herald the release of Goal: The Movie.
- Adidas will install content on Xbox 360 consoles, while Microsoft will enjoy presence on adidas' FIFA 2006 World Cup mobile portal.
According to Microsoft's Peter Moore, the alliance reflects the fact that "sports, lifestyle and video games are inextricably linked," and that the Xbox 360 is a platform "where all three of these elements come together to truly amplify the sport experience."
Richard Prenderville, head of Global Media at Adidas, described the alliance as "innovative" and that the initiative would "excite an entire audience who love to game indoors and out."

The Story Behind New York City’s First Stormwater Management Park
From the outside, Gil Hodges Carroll Street Community Garden in Gowanus, Brooklyn looks like an ordinary public garden. It’s a large space with room to picnic, two large gardening beds, and even a fragrance walk. Yet, in 2013, the garden, named after the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball player, underwent a massive renovation making it the largest and most sophisticated stormwater management system within New York City’s public gardens. This was not a simple task, and took multiple partnerships. The renovation was sponsored by Jo Malone London and the New York Department of Education and the Department of Environmental Protection, and according to initial reports, the renovation cost upwards of $245,000 dollars.
Form follows function in multiple ways throughout this garden, as the renovation brought not just a new look, but a reading area and fragrance walk which was inspired by the perfumes of Jo Malone London– intended both as inspiration and to attract wildlife and encourage pollination through scent. (The plants include sweetbay magnolia, ruby spice summersweet, orange azalea and mountainmint.)
Gil Hodges is one of New York Restoration Project’s 52 community gardens in the 5 boroughs, which are dedicated to transforming open city spaces into greener and more sustainable city. The NYRP was founded in 1995 by Bette Midler, the award-winning singer and actress, who bought many of the city’s lots that were in danger of being sold to developers. To date, these spaces function as independent, community-run gardens, where volunteers from the community maintain and keep the space open, coordinating with one another.
The stormwater management system at Gil Hodges Carroll Street Community Garden was designed by engineers with the help of CUNY’s “Sustainability In The Urban Environment” program and their data analytics, who also keep track of the water management system underground and the amount of water collected. It includes “bioswales”, which are planted areas along the sidewalk that collect stormwater when it rains, and rain gardens, which improve local water quality by capturing storm water runoff and preventing the sewer from overloading with polluted water and draining into the nearby Gowanus Canal.
The canal was a huge factor that pushed the renovation forward. The Gowanus canal is one of the most polluted waterways in America, and the renovation is a way to mitigate its toxicity, with the intention that it will one day be possible to canoe there recreationally. “The history of flooding in Gowanus is pretty massive because of the canal,” Amanda Brown, Director of Community Engagement at NYPR, told Garden Collage. “The water would come up to people’s car tires.” The first year of the installation aimed to absorb 150,000 gallons of water annually– a goal that the project has since accomplished.
The process of coming up with this renovation involved speaking with community members and those utilizing the space, while also taking into account the future of the park and its potential for use. It’s a balance between the present day and the future. “Every renovation is different because it’s based on community input and current and anticipated use.” The capital team is responsible for combining these needs into one useful design, which integrates considerations like shade and canopy coverage, how many trees will get to stay, old trees that will need to go out, and the structure of the garden (as well as solar plants and composting toilets). With regards to future renovations, Brown says: “Solar is definitely the next wave that our team is interested in.” And they’re constantly looking at new ways to implement this and other new opportunities for partnership.
When it comes to renovation, NYRP is concerned with optimizing flood-control spaces for communal use. Currently, Paradise Garden in the Bronx is working on how to find a way to install more solar panels and solar-powered electricity.
But as with most community-improvement endeavors, maintaining the garden takes a team. There are multiple program partners that assist with keeping the garden open and running, and it’s usually open throughout the mornings and afternoon until the late fall or early winter. The church across the street and some of the local residents work on the composting committee, and local community members make sure the doors are open on a daily basis.
Apart from the daily maintenance, the space is home to exciting performances and community workshops. Previously, the NYRP has collaborated with BAM (the Brooklyn Academy of Music) to host an interactive dance performance as part of the organization’s “Arts in the Gardens” initiative. They’ve also collaborated with the Textile Arts Center, NYRP Education, and NYC Compost Project to host community workshops. In a city where it can be hard to find an empty seat, the garden is open to stop by for a picnic, facilitate a workshop, or even host a full-on party. The benefits to storm water management, it appears, are just a bonus.


St Helens 48-18 London Broncos: Nine try scorers send Saints top of Super League
St Helens returned to the top of Super League – for 24 hours at least – by inflicting another heavy defeat on relegation favourites London.
Midfield mastermind Luke Walsh was one of nine different scorers as the Broncos struggled to contain rampaging props Alex Walmsley and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
But Walsh insisted St Helens must improve if they are to maintain their position at the head of the pack.
And he's over! Luke Walsh scores a try for St Helens during the romp against London Broncos
Good start! Matty Dawson got the hosts up and running with the first try of the evening
Walsh said: 'We’ve put on a pretty good performance tonight, but we need to be better. There’s definitely room for improvement.'
After three successive defeats, including a Challenge Cup exit at Leeds last week, Saints boss Nathan Brown knew he could afford no slips – especially after chairman Eamonn McManus used his programme notes to pile on the pressure.
But there was never any chance of a shock London win. Recalled centre Matty Dawson took just six minutes to get Saints off the mark, before Walsh and Jonny Lomax also crossed.
A piece of brilliance from Walsh helped create Tommy Makinson’s try before London finally made their mark with an acrobatic finish from Denny Solomona.
Second-half scores for Lance Hohaia, Adam Swift, Joe Greenwood, Josh Jones and Mark Flanagan increased the misery for Tony Rea’s men, although Thomas Minns and Mike Bishay gave them some respectability.

For better or worse, we are defined by our habits. What we consistently do sets the boundaries of our comfort zone.
Since we tend to function at the mean of our comfort zone, our habits play a crucial part in determining the extent of our success. Successful people have habits that facilitate their success. Good teammates have habits that facilitate their teams’ success.
Here are ten habits of good teammates:
1. They Respect Time
Time is everyone’s most cherished commodity. Good teammates value their time and that of others by practicing efficiency, keeping on schedule, and refusing to be late. And they hold their teammates accountable to the same standards.
2. They Adjust Their Mood
Individuals who “wear their emotions on their sleeve” make for poor teammates. Good teammates adjust their mood to meet the needs of their team. If the team is flat, they project energy. If the team is despondent, they project hope. If the team is overzealous, they project restraint.
3. They Speak with Tact
Situations occasionally emerge where we are called to confront behaviors that threaten our team’s culture. While it may be tempting to convey disapproval with brutality, good teammates confront with tact. They speak their demands without being demeaning.
4. They Empathize Before They Criticize
Passing judgment without first considering possible mitigating circumstances can lead to resentment and misunderstandings—which fracture teams. Good teammates consider issues from alternative viewpoints before they criticize offenders.
5. They Seek Opportunities to Learn
When it comes to knowledge, good teammates are not content with the status quo. They are lifelong learners who continuously seek opportunities to increase their knowledge. Becoming more knowledgeable puts them in a better position to help their team grow.
6. They Solicit Self-Assessment
Related to the previous point, good teammates want to become better versions of themselves. They realize others may not always be able or willing to provide them with adequate feedback, so they proactively self-assess. They have the humility to routinely ask themselves What can I do better?
7. They Engage in Self-Care
Mental, emotional, and physical health affect our capacity to serve. Good teammates engage in self-care by eating properly, exercising regularly, and getting sufficient rest. They take care of themselves, so they are able to care of others.
8. They Stay Connected
Good teammates make a conscious effort to maintain connections with the other members of their team, even if doing so requires them to be inconvenienced. When they can’t connect through in-person interactions, they utilize phone calls, text messages, emails, handwritten notes, and social media.
9. They Listen with Intent
We learn through listening, not speaking. Good teammates are intentional listeners in that they listen with the purpose of discovering the speakers’ thoughts. Good teammates don’t interrupt others and they don’t think about their response while others are speaking. They focus on what is being said and why it is being said.
10. They Grasp the Influence of Their Example
Our example is everything! Humans are wired to look to others for behavioral guidance. Mirror neurons cause us to mimic the words and actions of those with whom we surround ourselves. Good teammates demonstrate their awareness of this situation in every decision they make.
Bad habits can confine us. Good habits can refine us. If you want to define yourself as a good teammate, you must develop good habits.
As always…Good teammates care. Good teammates share. Good teammates listen. Go be a good teammate.

Breast Reduction Recovery Timeline
If a patient has overly large breasts that cause discomfort and make it difficult to find clothes that fit properly, she may choose to undergo breast reduction surgery to achieve a more proportional look. While it is well known that women undergo breast reduction surgery, some people may be surprised to learn that men undergo the procedure as well. Some men develop enlarged breasts due to a conditional called gynecomastia; males with gynecomastia may also opt for breast reduction surgery to achieve a more normal or masculine appearance. Before undergoing surgery, many patients want to know more about the recovery timeline so that they can make plans to accommodate the surgery.
The Day of Surgery
After breast reduction surgery, most patients will feel groggy and tired from the anesthesia and the surgery process. Surgeons will require the patient to have someone who can take them home and make sure that they are properly set up for the recovery process. The surgeon may prescribe antibiotics and pain relief medications. The antibiotics are generally taken the day of the surgery and the regimen may be for a week or two weeks depending on the antibiotic. Pain medication can be taken as needed.
The patient will usually be given a bra-like garment that will help to support the breasts and the incision sites, so that they heal properly.
The Week after Surgery
The week after breast reduction surgery, the patient should take things easy. Patients should not return to work during this period, even if the workplace is a low-stress environment and does not require physical labor. Any rise in blood pressure can increase swelling and prolong healing, so the best plan of action is to take a lazy week and lounge around the house.
Pain from breast reduction surgery may last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on how extensive the surgery was. Pain relief medications should be taken as prescribed. The goal with pain medication is to stay ahead of the pain, especially during this first week after surgery. Patients should also continue to wear the surgical bra provided by the surgeon unless otherwise directed.
Two Weeks after Surgery
Most patients return to work about a week after surgery. Heavy lifting and physical activity should still be avoided, but the patient can begin resuming normal activities. Pain should be at a minimum at this point. If significant pain is still being felt, the patient should contact her surgeon.
One Month after Surgery
The patient should resume normal activities, but should still be wary of too much physical activity. There should be no more pain and the incisions sites should be almost, if not completely healed. However, keep in mind that it can take up to a year for scars to fade. It is at this time that most women see the results of the surgery fully taking form.
For more information about the breast reduction recovery timeline, or the surgery, contact Paul Pin, MD today.

Everyone wants a pizza the action of Dylan Cappinni-Smith's new takeaway business.
The chef, from Gloucestershire's acclaimed steakhouse The Falcon, is feeding plenty of hungry mouths as part of his new venture near Stroud.
From the meat feast to the veggie supreme, foodies can't get enough of his delicious offerings, which can be ordered online between 6pm and 10pm.
Since the launch earlier this summer he has been making around £500 a night, simply through news of the business spreading via word of mouth.
"We are taking around 30 orders a night, which are keeping us busy," said Mr Cappinni-Smith.
"I’ve been hosting pizza parties for the past few years for friends and family from my traditional wood fired pizza oven at my home.
"It was something I’ve always wanted to do and coming from an Italian family. I’ve always grown up around good food.
"We are delivering to the village of Uley and offering a pick-up service to start with, then we'll see how far it’ll go.
"I’m really excited for the future."
The business has been awarded four stars from inspectors and the pizzas come in two sizes- 11in (regular) and 14in (large).
Andrew Starling, owner of The Falcon at Wotton-Under-Edge, supported the set-up and he is celebrating his pub's sixth five-star food hygiene rating in as many years.
The pizzas can be accompanied by sides such as salad and coleslaw, with brownies for pudding.

The unveil of the 250cc KTM bikes at Tokyo recently got everyone very excited but these motorcycles aren’t set for an India launch. They won’t be even sold in Europe.
The quarter-litre segment is a sweet displacement category in certain Asian countries like Japan, Indonesia and Thailand, that’s the reason KTM has developed a new 248.8cc engine which has found its way into the new RC 250 and Duke 250. This motor generates 31.3 PS and 24 Nm, being based on the larger 373.2cc single-cylinder missile. Post the unveil, everyone was excited that KTM will launch these machines in India as they are made by Bajaj Auto at their Chakan facility. But neither the RC 250, nor the Duke 250 will be launched in India because they are for markets whose taxation structure favours 250cc bikes.
In fact, KTM won’t be launching the Duke 250 and RC 250 in Europe either, also they won’t make it to the States. So all those having hope of seeing the 250cc KTM in India, you will be disappointed. The obvious reason for not launching the RC 250 and Duke 250 in India is the lack of price point to position them. The gap between the 200 and 390 KTM models is so narrow that a 250 can’t be put in between. Maybe the next generation Duke 200 and RC 200 won’t come and instead only the Duke 250 becomes the entry-level model where the Duke 125 isn’t sold. The next generation of the single-cylinder, sub-500cc KTM Dukes are due in 2017.
Just recently a rumour of a 250cc KTM Enduro being launched in India surfaced. This is not going to happen because KTM CEO Stefan Pierer has made it very clear that the next models to roll out of Bajaj Auto’s Chakan plant from KTM would be Husqvarna motorcycles (the Vitpilen and Svartpilen) in 2017. Work on a lower capacity Adventure bike didn’t reach much further as the underpinnings on the Dukes (trellis frame) isn’t apt for an Enduro model. KTM’s focus is on developing middle-weight bikes in the 500-800cc twin-cylinder space for which Bajaj Auto has been given complete responsibility.

Ever wonder what’s playing in my head when Jill Kismet walks into the Monde? It’s Boom Swagger Boom, by the Murder City Devils.
I’m pretty visual as writers go; I see the action in my head and can stop, freeze-frame, swing around (bullet time!) to examine different angles, the whole works. I actually wrote Hunter’s Prayer first, followed by Night Shift when my editor said “but how did Jill meet Saul?”, and the very first glimpse I had of our dear Kismet was her walking, hipshot and dangerous, into the Monde to serve justice–and, not so incidentally, to thumb her nose at Perry.
It was a long weekend, I’ve received quite a lot of bad news, and I’m not recovered yet, so that’s where I’ll leave you, dear Reader, listening to the boom and the swagger. Enjoy!

3 Causes of Family Estrangement
There are three primary causes of family estrangement. These are:
1) Physical or mental abuse: This is when one or both members of the family are physically or mentally abusing each other. This can lead to feelings of fear and insecurity, which can ultimately lead to estrangement.
2) Conflicting views about parenting: If one member of the family has drastically different views about parenting than the other, it can lead to estrangement. For example, one parent may believe in strict discipline while the other believes in providing a more nurturing environment. This can be incredibly difficult to reconcile, which can lead to estrangement.
3) Separation or divorce: If one member of the family is constantly separating or divorcing, this can lead to estrangement. This can be incredibly difficult for the family to cope with as it can create a lot of stress and tension.

Chapter 8 material specifications updated
Posted on 08 March, 2022
The Vehicle Conspicuity group have updated the REMA best practice guide to Chapter8 and ECE104 markings and materials. This replaces all previous versions and is effective immediately.
The latest guidelines from REMA help all fleet managers and operators understand what markings their fleet should have, in order to comply with the updated requirements of Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. This was updated earlier this year and has raised the specification of reflective materials used to meet class R3B (typically this is high grade microprismatic material).
Our REMA guide is free to download and distribute and has been a source of best-practice guidance for many years in its previous form.
The guide helps you to understand the requirements in Chapter8 and also those of Safety at Street Works and Road Works in conjunction with the variations for Scotland and Wales and which materials available meet R3B performance classification.

WNMU held a town-hall style discussion on Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023 to share information and gather input regarding a new initiative on food security and sustainability.
The meeting was well attended by community members, including representatives of a number of potential collaborative partners.
“While I am pleased by this, I am not surprised by [it] because of the community in which we live,” said WNMU President Joseph Shepard in his opening remarks, “We live in a community that really has a robust care for each other.”
The need for solutions to food insecurity are increasingly pressing, said Dave Chandler, the Director of the Commons Center for Food Sustainability and Security, who was asked to speak at the town hall. “We are seeing unprecedented need in the classroom,” he stated.
Another guest at the event, Sarita Cargas, Associate Professor of Human Rights at UNM, provided some background on how widespread food insecurity is among college students, faculty and staff in New Mexico. As the founder and principal investigator of the Basic Needs Project, Cargas oversaw a recent survey that found that, on average, 52% of those learning or working in higher education in the state experienced food insecurity in the previous 30 days.
To address this problem, the university plans to work collaboratively with the Commons and other organizations that are working toward food security and sustainability. Said Shepard, “What I would like to do is create a model for our state and perhaps for our country [that ensures] no child goes hungry, no student goes hungry, no adolescent goes hungry, no mother or father, no sister or brother.”
As part of the initiative Shepard said that the university would be building two new greenhouses as well as installing a campus garden and developing a composting system to ensure the initiative is sustainable. The intent is to provide fresh food to the campus community at no cost in order to end food insecurity on campus.
Students involved with the program would work to grow food on campus and volunteer their time with organizations like the Commons. Shepard said it was important to engage students in producing their own food and learning sustainable agricultural practices. “Food and water are essential to support life,” he said, “but being that we are an educational institute, we also have a commitment to teach people about food production.”
“They can then take that [knowledge] elsewhere as they grow and teach others about it,” said Shepard.
The university has already received a $500,000 donation from WNMU Regent Lyndon Haviland to kickstart the initiative, and it is seeking additional sources of funding.
Audience members offered a number of suggestions for the university during the event—from offering a free, online course on permaculture to instituting a procurement policy that prioritizes locally grown products to targeting outreach to especially vulnerable populations like youth and elders. Many of those who spoke at the event expressed an interest in being involved.
While the agricultural arm of the initiative will take time to develop, the university is planning to hire a director for the program and has already begun its collaborative efforts on food security.
Describing one recently launched collaboration, Chandler noted that the Commons has started a “unique and innovative program with WNMU this year, the College Culinary Club.” In this program, he said, students work in the commercial kitchen at the Commons to learn about cooking and nutrition and to make food both for themselves and for other students on the WNMU campus. The meals they make are frozen and distributed through the WNMU One Stop food pantry. Chandler said that the program was piloted successfully this year and there are plans to grow the program next semester.
Regent President Mary Hotvedt praised the audience’s collective knowledge about food security and sustainability as a “knowledge library.” “What we need,” she said, “is a cataloging of all the wealth in knowledge we have in this community about food production and soil.”


James Lewis Carter Ford (probably June 24, 1923 – July 16, 2013) was an American blues musician, using the name T-Model Ford. Unable to remember his exact date of birth, he began his musical career in his early 70s, and continuously recorded for the Fat Possum label, then switched to Alive Naturalsound Records. His musical style combined the rawness of Delta blues with Chicago blues and juke joint blues styles.
The Ladies Man is T-Model Ford’s seventh album, and what makes it unique is that it’s entirely acoustic. Recorded at Planet Sound Studios in Wichita, Kansas, the album is the product of a live, one-take afternoon session with no overdubs and minimal mixing. T wanted to play acoustic guitar and have 100% control over the record and everyone involved in the project agreed he should do it the way he wanted.

Death of a Ladies' Man (album). Death of a Ladies' Man is the fifth studio album by Leonard Cohen. Produced and co-written by Phil Spector, the voice of typically minimalist Cohen was surrounded by Spector's Wall of Sound, which included multiple tracks of instrument overdubs. The album was originally released by Warner Bros. but was later picked up by Cohen's long-time label, Columbia Records.
T-Model Ford, a raw-sounding, mesmerizing guitarist and singer who was among the last of the old-time Delta bluesmen - and whose career was all the more noteworthy for his not having picked up a guitar until he was almost 60 - died on Tuesday at his home in Greenville, Miss .

The Moogle, for those who do not know it is a small creature that dwells in the realms of the Final Fantasy Games (amongst others). Their name comes for an amalgamation of the Japanese words mogura (mole) and kōmori (bat). Moogles have small eyes and red, pink, or pur-ple bat-like wings. A single black antenna sticks up from their heads, with a small colorful ball (usually red or yellow or blue) at the end called a “pompom”. Their ears are usually shaped like a cat’s and their fur is white or light pink.
Add to this the fact that Moogle is my daughter’s nickname for me, what else could I design!
These socks are knitted toe up with contrasting toes and heels and a small intarsia in the round design on the back of the ankle. To finish the off there is the obligatory pompom too
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the technique of intarsia in the round there is an excellent tutorial here.
If you really hate intarsia you can always use duplicate stitch to create the design.

Gardens by the Bay’s Rose Romance floral display draws inspiration from idyllic Puglia in Italy to celebrate love
The floral display is also a limited-time venue for couples to solemnise their marriage in collaboration with the Registry of Marriages as part of National Family Week
Gardens by the Bay’s Rose Romance (玫瑰之恋）floral display, which opened today in Flower Dome, features more than 16,000 roses of over 70 varieties. Back for its fourth edition, this year’s Rose Romance is inspired by Puglia, an idyllic region in southern Italy famed for its quaint whitewashed hill towns, coastlines’ beauty, and a relaxed pace of life.
One of Puglia’s icons is the trulli, or the picturesque, traditional limestone houses with conical roofs in the Alberobello village. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the trulli of Alberobello features in the floral display. Rose Romance is presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Singapore, and will be on until July 16.
Puglia is also popular internationally as a wedding destination. For the first time, Gardens by the Bay is collaborating with the Registry of Marriages (ROM) to offer couples an opportunity to hold their solemnisation at a section of a floral display. For the duration of the display, a pocket garden in Flower Dome will be transformed into a rose-filled, Puglian-inspired summer wedding setting for solemnisations arranged by ROM at selected timings on weekday mornings.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, and Second Minister for Finance and National Development Indranee Rajah launched Rose Romance today, alongside the Ambassador of Italy to Singapore and Brunei Darussalam H.E. Mario Andrea Vattani. Minister Indranee also extended her congratulations to the first couple to solemnise their marriage at Rose Romance.
Gardens by the Bay Assistant CEO May Yeo said, “As a People’s Garden, Gardens by the Bay provides Singaporeans with a beautiful verdant space to celebrate key moments in our lives, and our collaboration with ROM is but an extension of this. We are delighted to offer couples a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to say ‘I do’ amid a spectacular, rose-filled setting specially put together by our horticulturists, which we hope will be a wonderful memory they can look fondly back on through a long and happy union.”
Registrar of Marriages, Timothy Pak said, “The Registry of Marriages is happy to partner with Gardens by the Bay to host couples to solemnise their marriage at the exquisite Flower Dome against the backdrop of the Rose Romance floral display. Couples can also opt for the Ficus Room, nestled within the vibrant Active Garden. With these venues, we hope that couples can celebrate this special occasion and create beautiful memories with their loved ones at the floral display during this National Family Week celebrations, which is dedicated to honouring family ties.”
Ambassador of Italy to Singapore and Brunei Darussalam H.E. Mario Andrea Vattani said, “The Puglia event in Rose Romance is dedicated to one of the most beautiful regions of southern Italy, its territories rich with many UNESCO sites such as the famous trulli of Alberobello which will be displayed at Gardens by the Bay, but also other artistic and handcrafted creations, and of course the local food and wine excellences. The region is also famous for being a renowned wedding destination where lovers choose to take their vows against the backdrop of Puglia’s beautiful landscapes, in iconic rural estate buildings called ‘masserie’. We are delighted that Gardens by the Bay is collaborating with the Registry of Marriages to offer solemnisation sessions in Mediterranean Garden for the whole period of the Rose Romance event.”
When the pocket garden is not used for ROM solemnisations, it is open to the public.
Diverse rose forms and authentic performances from Italy
The hybrid tea rose may be the rose form that most people are familiar with, but there are also other less common and intriguing forms on show in the Rose Romance floral display. Some highlights include:
● Rosa ‘Golden Wings’ – a yellow single flower variety that looks little like a hybrid tea rose, yet most closely resembles the original form of roses before they were hybridised by breeders to produce the many varieties we see today
● Rosa ‘Iceburg’ – an award-winning rose with large clusters of medium-sized, rounded flowers with soft white petals, sometimes with a tinge of pale pink. It has a light, sweet fragrance
● Rosa ‘The Fairy’ – a dwarf shrub rose with many small, pink double-bloom flowers that are only about an inch wide
Amid a field of diverse – and sometimes fragrant – roses stands a heart-shaped topiary interspersed with more than 1,000 roses. In addition, plants such as snapdragons, delphiniums and digitalis in shades of blue and purple, complement the roses of the floral display, which are predominantly in shades of red, pink and white.
Visitors to Rose Romance can also experience a slice of one of Italy’s biggest music festivals La Notte della Taranta (Night of the Tarantula), which features Italian folk songs and dances of Salento in Puglia. Musicians and dancers of Orchestra Popolare la Notte della Taranta, who have flown in from Puglia, will perform in Flower Dome this weekend (June 3 and June 4).
There are also two social media contests where participants can stand a chance to win either beautiful rose bouquets, or return air tickets to Italy sponsored by Turkish Airlines.
📅 2 Jun to 16 Jul 2023
⏰ 9am – 9pm
📍 Flower Dome
🏷 Admission charge to Flower Dome applies.
You can get tickets online via Klook.
Rose Romance runs till 16 Jul 2023 in Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay.

ROM solemnisations at Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is ROM’s only official external solemnisation venue partner. Since November 2022, couples can choose to register to solemnise their marriage at Ficus Room in Active Garden. Active Garden is located within Gardens by the Bay’s Family Zone, which was jointly developed through a partnership between Families for Life, Gardens by the Bay and the Ministry of Social and Family Development.
Beginning June 6, Gardens by the Bay will be giving each couple who have registered with ROM to solemnise their marriage in Ficus Room, a complimentary pair of two-way Shuttle Service tickets from Bayfront Plaza or Flower Dome to Active Garden. Couples can present their ROM booking confirmation to Shuttle Service staff to redeem the tickets.

Western University of Health Sciences College of Pharmacy Associate Professor David J. Sanchez, PhD, participated in Moderna’s Phase 3 study of mRNA-1273, its vaccine candidate against COVID-19.
On Nov. 16, in a race to find COVID-19 vaccines, Moderna was the second company to announce promising interim results from their clinical trial of NIH-Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, stating it meets its primary efficacy endpoint in the first interim analysis of the Phase 3 COVE study and an efficacy rate of more than 94%.
On Nov. 9, Pfizer announced preliminary data indicating that their COVID-19 vaccine was more than 90% effective and on Nov. 23 AstraZeneca announced that a preliminary analysis of their Phase 3 trial revealed the vaccine was up to 90% effective, depending on the dosage.
Sanchez signed up for the trial in September 2020 and received two injections, separated a month apart, and was tracked for possible exposure and COVID-19 symptoms regularly.
He said he wanted to help move the process along and participate because he knew Moderna needed 30,000 people for this latest phase of clinical trials. Sanchez felt some minor side effects from the shots, so he believes he received a real vaccine.
“I teach vaccination mechanisms, so to see a possible vaccine in real life and get to know that my participation would help determine the efficacy of the drug was exciting,” Sanchez said. “The process turned the way we talk about clinical trial setups to students into firsthand experiences.”
The announcement from Moderna was exciting to Sanchez personally and for society.
“I am excited to imagine a vaccine that is that effective, “Sanchez said. “We think that most influenza vaccines are at most 60% effective so to see about 95% effectiveness of a vaccine is great.”
Sanchez would like to see a return to pre-COVID-19 society as soon as possible and he says the key to that is a strong vaccination program.
“There are some differences between the storage conditions with different vaccines, which should be part of the decisions for particular sites, but for the overall population more choices allow for more distribution,” Sanchez said. “At this point our society wants distribution of vaccines and since they all seem to have strong efficacy they will definitely help.”
He also says about 50% of Americans want a vaccine and to counter that, highly effective vaccines will help to protect us.
“For our students, especially those that can administer vaccinations, they are going to see this is a major part of their training for the next couple of years as they help the health of our community,” he said. “It will be great to see them as part of the solutions for our community.”
Sanchez said pharmacy student interns often administer influenza vaccinations and believes that administering of the COVID-19 vaccines may be added to their training.
“I am hopeful that we can get the vaccine distribution going when approved and rapidly help control COVID-19,” Sanchez said.

There is no lack of environmental laws and regulations in the country and it is self evident that the real problem is not lack of capacity of execution. Substantial part of the real problem lies in the lack of willingness which in itself is the result of a short term economic gain.
Now the government seems serious and there are some indications that it is preparing to take measures against one of the major sectors responsible for environmental pollution: The Flower industry (Horticulture)

Metro and Mail Online have both taken down stories which reported claims made by man involved in a paternity suit without putting them to the mother involved.
The Mail Online article published on 21 March was headlined: “Former market trader, 49, claims he has PROVED he’s the father of a boy who will inherit £1 billion after a ‘six-year romance with the daughter of one of Luxembourg’s richest tycoons”.
The Metro.co.uk story published on 22 March said: “Man proves he’s the father of heir to a £1,000,000,000 fortune”.
Both titles are published out of the same newsroom.
The articles reported a man’s belief that, following a prolonged legal battle, he had managed to prove that he was the father of a child who was heir to a substantial fortune.
The mother of the child, who was not identified, complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation saying the man’s claims were false and that neither Metro or the Mail had contacted her to verify the claims.
After initially rejecting the woman’s complaint, both titles have now – six months on – withdrawn the articles and published apologies to the woman and her family.
Because resolutions were mediated, IPSO did not make a finding as to whether the articles were in breach of the Editors’ Code, clause of one of which states that publishers must take not to publish inaccurate information.


The issue of safety is addressed using a multidisciplinary approach aimed at integration among the subsystems that make up the rail system (infrastructure, rolling stock and operating procedures), whether open air (lines, stations) or underground (tunnels, stations).
Safety planning, increasingly characterised by a Safety Management-oriented vision, has gradually been enriched with decision-making (survey) tools by integrating a new Risk Analysis methodology developed within Italferr following the development of a careful benchmarking activity applied to the transport infrastructure sector.
In the field of safety analysis, significant importance is given to the use of Fire Engineering to investigate, through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) deterministic models, the mode of initiation and development of a fire within a system (railway carriage, tunnel, station) and the expected effects on the evacuation of people (EVAC Tool Performance Analysis - FDS Fire Dynamic Simulator), the resistance of structures and the possibility of intervention of rescue teams.
As is customary within the FS Group, Italferr places the needs of safety and continuity of railway operations at the top of its actions, exporting these methods and processes internationally and applying the same approach, assurance and risk thinking in different areas.
Data analysis, typical of RAMS and Risk Analysis activities, together with the monitoring of maintenance performance, naturally results in a Data Driven Approach that leads to the ever increasing implementation of a Data and Information Management System, allowing Italferr to provide engineering support to the client in ensuring RAMS performance even during operation.

Jan. 23, 2019 – El Salvador – It’s difficult to wrap your head around the impact one person has made, especially if the significance occurred in another country. One person in El Salvador who impacted the entire culture through multiple generations is Rev. Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdamez.
For the next seven days WashingtonCountyInsider.com will post details on the missionary trip of David and Nancy Slinde of West Bend.
This is the couple’s 30 journey to the small Central American country. Over the years, the Slindes have helped improve education, plumbing, and business development.
In May 2015 Pope Francis celebrated the beatification of Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero and in October 2018 Pope Francis declared him a Saint.
Romero was recognized for his dedication working with the poor and speaking out against social injustice. He was assassinated while celebrating Mass on March 24, 1980 at the age of 62.
Our tour guide Arnoldo Carcamo took us to Romero’s crypt located in the lower level of the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador.
The authentic walking staff for Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez sits on top of the crypt. There is a round red object in the middle of the crypt symbolizing the bullet that struck Romero in the heart. David Slinde from West Bend pointed to the senior citizens praying at the kneelers on either side of the crypt. “The person who came in with the cane is likely a follower from when Romero hosted a popular radio broadcast,” he said. “The others here are just young whippersnappers.”
According to a post about Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez and his radio broadcasts:
In these sermons, he listed disappearances, tortures, murders, and much more each Sunday. This was followed by an hour-long speech on radio the following day. On the importance of these broadcasts, one writer noted that “the archbishop’s Sunday sermon was the main source in El Salvador about what was happening. It was estimated to have the largest listenership of any programme in the country.
Below is a photo gallery of the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador. The interior has many similarities to St. Mary’s Immaculate Conception in Barton, especially the artwork.
Note on this exterior photo the decorations in the trees. It was Jan. 21 and Christmas decorations were still on display. Our tour guide Arnoldo said it was the mayor of the community. “She doesn’t care the holiday is over. She doesn’t put the money forward to staff taking down the display.”

A BRIT explorer who got lost searching for a tribe of Papua New Guinea headhunters has revealed he was "very worried" he wouldn't make it out of the jungle alive.
It's claimed Benedict Allen, 57, who vanished for three weeks after being dropped into lawless tribal territory, was suffering from malaria and became disoriented.
His pal and BBC journalist Frank Gardner tweeted: "Explorer @benedictallen is now recovering from fever, poss malaria in Papua New Guinea capital having got disoriented on remote jungle trek."
Another tweet read: "I'm told 'missing' UK explorer @benedictallen due to be helicoptered out of Papua N Guinea jungle this morning and on a plane home tmoro."
It's still unclear if he managed to make contact with the Yaifo, a tribe living in the remote jungle who he had visited 30 years ago.
Following his rescue, he said: "I was seriously worried I wouldn't get out of this one," the Daily Mail reported.
Meanwhile, Benedict's frantic wife last night told the missing adventurer: "Get home - NOW!"
Family and friends have reacted with anger that he didn't pack a GPS or locator beacon to use in an emergency.
Wife Lenka Allen said: "It is such a relief. I’m so happy, it’s amazing.
And as helicopter rescue crews readied themselves to swoop in and save him, the explorer's 35-year-old desperate wife told them to get him home safely.
"Just tell him to get home - now. Get home as soon as you can, because the kids are desperate to see you.
"We have been having sleepless nights, and everyone has been thinking about him."
His agent Jo Sarsby said today: "We can confirm that Benedict Allen has been evacuated by helicopter and is now safe in Port Moresby. He is reported as feverish with suspected malaria.
"Benedict looks forward to being reunited with his family and friends but will need some time to get back to full health. He would like to send thanks for all the kind messages he has received."
Keith Copley, of the New Tribes Mission, said: "The area is very remote. There is a small airstrip in the area and Benedict would have to go there to catch a plane.
"At the moment he is just waiting for a helicopter to pick him up but they won't fly unless they are paid the $8,000 for the trip.
"He is located at the Hewa airstrip 20 miles northwest of Porgera. He is healthy but requesting to be rescued."
