Ontario is vowing to press ahead with its own mandatory retirement pension – one that other provinces are signalling they could sign on to – after Ottawa dismissed reform of the Canada Pension Plan in the near term.
The Ontario government could soon find allies among other provinces who also emerged frustrated by Ottawa's hard line at a summit of federal and provincial finance ministers at Meech Lake, Que., on Monday.
Several ministers said that all provinces were on board to support a final statement that would commit to more study around increases to CPP contributions and benefits, but Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and minister of state for finance Kevin Sorenson bluntly declared Monday that reform must wait until the economy is stronger and that "now is not a time for CPP payroll tax increases."
Charles Sousa, Ontario Finance Minister, said his province is currently the chair of the Council of the Federation, the collective body of Canada's provinces and territories, and will be using that venue to see what steps could be taken next. "We're looking at a made-in-Ontario solution as a result," he said, adding that details have not been determined. "I'm going to reassess now what we're doing."
Ontario has yet to move beyond the preliminary stages, and has yet to decide whether to base its plan on the CPP, or some other model. But it faces significant challenges, including the competitive threat of payroll taxes rising only in Ontario. A source in the Liberal government acknowledged that concern, but said Ottawa's experience in the 1990s demonstrates that increases need not deflate economic growth.
Advocates for CPP expansion have warned about provincial substitutes, saying it could be difficult to obtain benefits after moving to other jurisdictions.
The problem confronting Ontario and the rest of the country is how to get Canadians, particularly middle-class earners, saving more for retirement. Existing programs funded directly by the federal government – including Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement – are seen as generous enough for low-income Canadians to maintain their existing standard of living in retirement.
As a result, the discussion among finance ministers has focused on proposals that would affect only Canadians earning $25,000 or more. Some have taken issue with that aspect, arguing that all Canadians should benefit from an enhanced CPP. The labour movement argues the exemption for those under $25,000 is meant to appease small business owners, who have spoken out against higher CPP premiums.
Mr. Sousa said the federal government is the main opponent of reforming the system. "I'm very disappointed that they used stall tactics to ensure that CPP enhancement wasn't even considered at this time," a visibly angry Mr. Sousa told reporters, saying his province was determined to build its own plan. "The only one that was not in favour was the federal government, and that's unfortunate."
The meeting marks a significant policy shift by Mr. Flaherty, who until Monday had never shut the door on CPP expansion – though he has been lukewarm to the idea since he tried and failed to persuade the provinces to support a "modest" enhancement of the CPP in 2010. At that time, Alberta and Quebec were not supportive and Ottawa decided to refocus its energies on Pooled Registered Pension Plans, which would involve voluntary contributions rather than the mandatory payments employees and employers make through CPP premiums.
Neither Mr. Flaherty or Mr. Sorenson would say when CPP reform would be considered. "I think we wait and see. We do what we're doing. We focus on jobs, growth, prosperity," Mr. Flaherty said. "And then get the unemployment rate lower and get more people trained for the jobs that are available in Canada and then watch the economy grow, and when it does, then we can have a look."
In the meantime, other provinces are indicating they could support Ontario's move. "We need to reconsider where we go from here," said Prince Edward Island Finance Minister Wes Sheridan, who had proposed a CPP increase that would start in 2018. "A made-in-Ontario solution may involve every province of Canada."
Still, it's not clear whether other provinces would take part in Ontario pension plan, and how it would be administered.
B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said he's willing to take a look at Ontario's proposal, but he is planning to bring in legislation in the spring that would offer British Columbians a voluntary pension option. The B.C. government introduced the Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act last spring but the proposed legislation was abandoned because of the provincial election call. Mr. de Jong said in an interview he intends to re-introduce the bill in the coming spring session. 'We'll look at what Ontario proposes, but for our part we intend to proceed with the legislation," he said.
Policy experts in Ontario's Finance Ministry have been working on different possible models for an Ontario pension plan, but the province is not leaning toward any particular one, a government source said. Mr. Sousa will now review the different options in greater detail to decide which one to move forward with. One option is to create a new plan modelled on CPP. Another is to administer the Ontario plan through a pre-existing public pension fund, such as the one of the various funds provincial and municipal employees already pay into, the source said. The source also pointed to the United Kingdom's National Employment Savings Trust, which was set up by the government but run as an independent not-for-profit organization, as another possible model.
There is no timeline on exactly when Mr. Sousa will roll out Ontario's new pension plan, and the timing is likely to depend on which model he ultimately chooses.
Current premiums are 9.9 per cent of pay, split evenly between the employee and the employer, on income between $3,500 and $51,100. The current average CPP payment to retirees is $7,234.32 a year and the maximum payment is $12,150.

SAN FRANCISCO The 49ers put 10 points squarely on the defense in the first two possessions and six minutes, more points than any opponent has scored in a first quarter all season and this with a quarterback making a first NFL start.
With three minutes to play in the second quarter the Bears already had allowed more yards (241) to Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers than they gave the St. Louis Rams (160), Jacksonville Jaguars (189) and Houston Texans (215) for their entire games.
One player said that the defense expected Kaepernick to throw an interception or two. That points to perhaps taking a virtual rookie too lightly, which appeared the case at times judging from the results. It was a complete whipping in all areas.
DEFENSIVE LINE: F
No lineman had more than Julius Peppers two tackles and Kaepernick was hit just four times, two of those by linebackers. Corey Wootton started for Israel Idonije and shared a sack with Idonije, but the Bears got next to no pressure throughout and that exposed a secondary that had its own problems giving up big plays.
The 49ers ran for 123 yards, down from their league-leading 170 per game, and Frank Gore finished with 78. But while Gore and Kendall Hunter had no gain longer than 14 yards, the linemen were consistently out of their gaps and allowing blockers and backs to reach the second level. Some was the result of missed tackles but too often there was only one Bear at the point of contact.
Like the linemen, backers were not fast enough with run fills after when the front four were being handled. Scheme may have placed individuals in difficult spots, and tight end Vernon Davis caught six of the eight passes thrown to him, although not all on linebackers.
Lance Briggs had six tackles and Brian Urlacher seven, and each had a tackle for loss. Briggs and Nick Roach each had a hit on Kaepernick. But 49ers running backs Gore and Hunter averaged nearly five yards per carry, too often getting yards after first contact.
One of the worst performances in some time by virtually the entire defensive backfield.
Chris Conte got the Bears off to a dismal start by committing a stupid late-hit personal foul on the games first play. That was just the beginning.
Kelvin Hayden was beaten badly for a 57-yard gain on the 49ers second series, setting up a TD pass to Davis, who was completely lost by Major Wright. When the 49ers missed on a second-quarter pass to set up a third-and-long, Wright was holding to give away the red-zone first down.
Wright, who led the Bears with eight solo tackles, missed a third-down tackle of Michael Crabtree to allow a conversion on a second-quarter drive.
Tim Jennings was credited with five solo tackles but he whiffed on a tackle for a 37-yard completion on a drive that ended with Charles Tillman losing Crabtree for 10-yard TD pass in the third quarter.
The 49ers came out with formations and play designs they had not shown previously and the Bears were completely outplayed as well as unable to adjust. San Francisco used jumbo packages and had man advantages repeatedly at points of attack, then isolated Davis on linebackers and safeties in single coverages they couldnt execute.
Whether the problems were because of what San Francisco was showing or exactly what was difficult to discern. The 49ers appeared to use some of the Houston scheme for stretching the front seven, which lost gaps repeatedly and appeared to take a young quarterback lightly.
What was expected by many to be a close and low-scoring game that might turn on a special-teams play turned out to be a blowout with special-teams figuring into virtually none of the outcome.
Adam Podlesh put some questions about his punting to rest with an average of 46.8 yards on five kicks. One was dropped inside the San Francisco 5-yard line.
Ted Ginn Jr. averaged 21 yards on three kickoff returns with a long of 23. Ginn ran back four punts for an average of five yards per return.
Devin Hester averaged 25.2 yards on five kickoff returns, consistently getting up the field, just against solid coverage units that maintained their lanes. But returning punts was another matter. Hester had several respectable returns but his minus-9 on a late punt in the third quarter was a small shot of wrong-way for an offense that was doing enough of it on its own. He took a fourth-quarter punt inside the 5, ran sideways and barely made the 10.
The Bears did so little scoring that kickoff-coverage units were seldom used but punt coverage was well schooled.

Jack London is best known for his stories about Alaska, the Yukon and the great Klondike Gold Rush. Most if not all of us have read The Call of the Wild and White Fang in grade school. The Northern Tales, however, made up only a part of Jack London's work.Stories of the South and the Sea is a collection of 48 stories set in Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the open sea, and back on the American continent: California, Oregon and Mexico. Written in the same enthralling style as the stories we have come to know and love, they are exhilirating, touching, exciting,--above all--human.This collection includes both London's better-known Southern stories, such as the South Sea Tales (1911) and On the Makaloa Mat (1919), but also the more obscure A Son of the Sun (1912), Tales of the Fish Patrol (1905), which are based on London's childhood in San Fransisco, and Dutch Courage (1922), a collection of very early stories that London did not want published during his lifetime, and which only became known after his death.This collection was NOT merely scanned from an ink-and-paper book, like many Kindle e-books are.

Movie is quite boring but still will make you laugh in some scenes. The plot is very old but good performance by Aamna Sharif in her debut film. The music is Ok only loved the title song sung by RDB.
And don’t know why Aftab Shivdasani is being watchable in these kind of films, I guess recession time. Koi bhi film mil jaaye kee farak paenda hain. By the way one more PJ, if the film would be Punjabi version then no doubt the film would go super duper hit. My goodness every other dialogue was in Punjabi. I got confused quite a couple of times that is that Punjabi film I am watching or what?
Anyways jokes part, the movie is very much boring but though there are some funny sequences but that doesn’t mean you have to watch film, its not that hilarious. You can skip this film and move on to another.
Arey!!! Still reading review? Move on there are lots of fishes in the ocean.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A Michigan woman and her dog Chewy will appear on season two of A&E’s canine competition series “America’s Top Dog.”
Chewy, a Pitbull, and St. John’s native Rachel Clark will appear in the all-new episode premiering at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 27.
The series brings together working dogs, K9s, and “underdogs” from across the country to compete for the title of “Top Dog” alongside their handlers on a massive canine obstacle course over two rounds of competition that test their speed, agility, teamwork, and trust.
Award-winning veteran studio and sports broadcaster Curt Menefee and actor and comedian David Koechner serve as hosts and will break down the action, while sideline reporter Rachel Bonnetta will interview teams down on the course.
Clark operates two Mid-Michigan kennels alongside Chewy, who serves as demonstration dog showing other pups how to behave. Their appearance on the show is the next chapter in their long partnership, which was put to the test in the past when Chewy was hit by a car.
“Chewy got hit by a car and went under both tires,” Clark said. “They had no idea what his injuries were, so I was fearing for the worst. I had no idea and was asking is my dog going to die. He fared incredibly well but did have to stay three days in an oxygen tank because he had such severe bruising to his lungs.
“That was just the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I can’t imagine a second without this dog, he’s my family, but he’s also my partner.”
Season two introduces a new format with head-to-head match ups, pitting a pup against another competitor in their class for an epic battle to prove who is best.
The winners of each of the three classes face-off head-to-head to determine who is that week’s top dog. Each week, the winning team will receive a $10,000 cash prize as well as an additional $5,000 to donate to the animal charity of their choice.
In the final week of competition, the winning teams return for the ultimate face off for the title of “America’s Top Dog” and an additional $25,000.

By a majority vote of nine against, three for, and with two abstentions, Chester Square Neighbors rejected a motion put forward at the group’s virtual meeting on Wednesday, April 6, to send a letter to Mayor Michelle Wu asking that the redevelopment of the Hotel Alexandra undergo further review by the “appropriate city agencies” in light of its proposed change in use from a boutique hotel to a condo development.
The developer, Alexandra Partners, now intends to transform the historic building located at Washington Street and Massachusetts Avenue into “Alexandra Residences,” a mixed-use project with ground floor restaurant and café space, a rooftop level bar/restaurant, and 76 condo units, 33 of which would be compact (eight studios, 24 one-bedrooms, and one two-bedroom unit), and 10 would be designated as affordable housing under the Boston Planning & Development Agency’s Inclusionary Development Policy (IDP).
Since a proposed 150-room boutique hotel was approved for the location by the BPDA board in March of 2019, the pandemic upended the world’s economy, with hospitality being one of the hardest hit industries. Alexandra Partners had even considered selling the property after investors pulled out of the proposed hotel, but the developer was eventually able to find financing for a residential project, said Marc LaCasse, the developer’s attorney, during a virtual city-sponsored meeting on Feb. 3, when the intended project change in usage was discussed.
Dartagnan Brown, an architect for the project, also said at that time the height and massing of the 71,000 square-foot project would remain the same as what was previously proposed, and that the “historic façade, which underwent major scrutiny, will remain intact.”
The South End Landmarks District Commission (SELDC) approved the project on Oct. 30, 2019, while the BPDA board approved it on Oct. 14, 2021.
The project is scheduled to go before the city’s Zoning Board of Appeal on April 26 as the develop is now seeking several variances related to its proposed change in usage.
In a letter from neighborhood residents and organizations to Mayor Wu, dated March 23, asking for expedited further review of the project by the city, the signatories “urge [her] to require the design be again reviewed given the substantive change in use” and further states “not to do so will inevitably set a precedent not only for the South End, but for developers wishing to ignore construction guidelines which have well served the city.”
The letter also asserts that the pending approval of the project now relies on approvals previously made by the BPDA and SELDC, which were “for a different use than what is now proposed.”
According to the letter, the increased height of the project, now at more than 150 feet, is twice the height limit for new construction in the South End Landmark District, while the developer had applied for and was granted a height variance for the purpose of accommodating enough rooms to attract a major hotel chain to acquire or “franchise” the building.
The letter also asserts that the BPDA assembled an Impact Advisory Group (IAG) “comprised almost exclusively of South Enders, many of whom lived quite distant from the building, and for the most part ignored representatives from Roxbury, in which the property resides, suggesting a racial bias.”
Likewise, “the BPDA only considered property owners within 300 feet of the site overlooks the issue that a 150-foot tower will impact others more distant,” according to the letter, while “renters more immediate to the building site were also not notified, suggesting that property values take primacy over the human health of the neighboring community. As the majority of renters proximate to the Hotel Alexandra are persons of color, the taint of racial bias is suggested.”
The project also includes no on-site parking provisions, and, according to the letter, “without the Massachusetts Legislature authorizing such a restriction, it will certainly be successfully challenged, and the resulting increase in parking demand will be a problem for many already living within the immediate neighborhood, and in particular the several churches in the area.”
Carol Blair, president of Chester Square Neighbors, wrote in an email: “The letter requesting that Mayor Wu initiate a new review for the Alexandra project is clear, and the signatories indicate significant support, including two Chester Square neighbors. So, when the two asked that CSN join their call for a new review process, I took it to CSN’s monthly Executive Committee meeting, which sets the agendas. They found the letter compelling, especially concerning the idea that all voices be heard.”
Lloyd Fillion, who helped write and signed the March 23 letter, told this reporter that the initial motion he put forward to the Chester Square Friends last week wasn’t for the group to sign on to the earlier letter, but instead for the group to write their own letter to Mayor Wu on the matter, which would’ve been in the same spirit of the earlier letter he helped draft. (“I believe the final motion, which was defeated, was for CSN to send a letter requesting a new review,” added Blair, who also served on the IAG.)
During the April 6 meeting of Chester Square Neighbors, Quanda Burrell, who had served on the IAG and also signed the March 23 letter, said she hadn’t received any notices about the project since the proposed change in use and likely wouldn’t have known about the change to the project, if someone had not called it to her attention.
Burrell assumed the plan had been “put on pause” due to the pandemic, she said, and “didn’t know there was a whole new plan, per se.”
“It feels kind of like a betrayal a little bit,” said Burrell, especially since she wanted to continue participating in the process.
“It’s kind of just shock and awe,” said Burrell. “It’s just kind of astonishing to me to see how the city moves in certain ways.”
In contrast, Bud Larievy, a Massachusetts Avenue resident since 1985 and an abutter to the Hotel Alexandra building, said he was “concerned we’re having the conversation again,” especially since “it’s gone through a well-documented process.”
Larievy, who said he’d seen the developer delivering fliers to everyone on his block, as well as to homes on Northampton Street, added, “I’m an abutter directly, and I know we were all informed with fliers when anything was going on.”
Donald Ward, executive director of the Tenants’ Development Group, a nonprofit property management and development organization, said although a member of his group had signed the March 23 letter, “that’s not our request, and I’m not sure what a review would get us.”
The developer also has been “very forthcoming” with the Tenants’ Development Group, as the most immediate abutter to the Hotel Alexandra, including having several meetings with them, said Ward.
“We’re trying to figure out what we’d get from prolonging this process,” added Ward.
Will Krause said he was “troubled” with the Chester Square Neighbors putting forward a motion that seems “hastily constructed and meant to delay something.”
Krause added that he doesn’t believe “an unconstructed motion can be voted on,” and that he doesn’t know “if this is an appropriate way to go about business as a neighborhood association.”
After Blair rejected the developer’s offer to make a comprehensive presentation to the group ahead of their scheduled April 26 ZBA hearing, Attorney LaCasse said, “[This] was a pre-determined outcome. Your motion was drafted in advance. I have never participated in such a one-sided meeting in my 33 years of practicing law. It’s a disgrace.”
Other Real-Estate Projects
Regarding an existing deck and stairs at the rear of a home at 541 Massachusetts Ave., Carol Blair said the Chester Square Neighbors had approved plans for the project “a couple of years ago, but what’s built out there doesn’t look like the plans.”
Blair said after visiting the city’s Inspectional Services Department, she was unable to find any plans resembling the existing conditions, although she does have the concept design and the original plans approved by Chester Square Neighbors.
The applicant, John Burns, said the initial plans for the project were approved by the ISD before the process with the Boston Landmarks Commission started.
“They didn’t love the metal railings and wanted something more historic, so we transitioned to what’s here now,” said Burns, adding that it was meant to look like an historic deck from the 1930s.
The door leading out to the deck resembles a window, said Burns, while the existing window was kept in place. An egress off the stairs, which is required for fire safety, could only be installed in its current location, he added.
In an effort to obscure views of the egress, it was constructed from the same metal as the wrought-iron railings and built behind a “tall and opaque” brick wall, said Burns.
“Basically, it’s a code requirement for safety, and that’s what we’re left with,” said Burns.
Blair asked Burns to provide the group with “a tracking of the progression of the plans from one stage to the next with the date and who approved it, so we can see how things change and how the system might work better.”
In another matter, the group discussed the current status of plans to redevelop the Ebenezer Baptist Church building at 157 West Springfield St.
The developer was expected to defer appearing at the April 5 ZBA hearing, after their meeting with abutters and Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson “concluded the project would harm the neighborhood,” according to Chester Square Neighbors.
Valerie Fletcher, who lives next door to the former church, said the building’s one bidder intended to convert it into nine-market rate apartments, but that plan was later opposed by the city’s Board of Appeal.
“Our hope is that we can secure something that looks like it has more community benefits [rather than] another Black church that becomes luxury condos,” said Fletcher.
If the city ultimately rejects the would-be developer’s appeal, the building would then go back on the market for its previous asking price of $4.7 million, said Fletcher, and stakeholders could “take a concerted effort to assess the future uses for the building that benefit the community and leave the church whole.”
Fletcher added, “It’s clear that the church would need to sell the building to do this.”
While she said it seems as though the process with the current developer has reached its conclusion, Fletcher added she would like to see affordable housing in the building, with units similar in size to assisted-living accommodations.
“We believe it’s doable,” said Fletcher. “We’ve watched so much of this neighborhood broken apart by market-rate conversion that we just wanted to toe the line on this one.”
On the subject of trees
Michelle Laboy said prior to the pandemic, she and Joshua Fiedler had worked on a tree inventory of the two pieces of Chester Square’s park, which led to a discussion about connecting with the arborist from the city’s Parks Department on replacing trees that have been lost over time for a variety of different reasons. (Laboy and Fiedler’s work didn’t include street-trees or empty street pits, however.)
Around this time, a “really beautiful” Maple Tree had been lost in a storm, said Laboy, and now, all of the remaining large-canopy trees are Oaks.
This could “present vulnerability ecologically,” she said, because if a single Oak tree “suffers from illness, they could all get decimated at once.”
Laboy said there are spaces for three large-canopy trees, adding that, “in the future, we could have more variety of taller trees.”
The smaller tress haven’t been inventoried or identified yet, she said, although they are more varied than the large-canopy trees.
“There are spots for the smaller trees, but right now we’re focused on the taller trees,” said Laboy.
Since she and Fiedler completed their tree inventory, the effort has stalled, she said, due to a variety of reasons, such as the pandemic, as well as “some turnover at the Parks Department,” which might have included a change in the city’s arborist.
Laboy said she attempted to set up an appointment with the city’s arborist on three occasions – all to no avail.
“This conversation goes nowhere,” she added. “You can only follow up so many times before you get frustrated.”
Due to other commitments, Laboy and Fidler are no longer up to leading the tree effort, she said, so now they’re hoping to find someone else to help out with this task.
Alma Smith said she’d be “happy to work with someone else because [she] think it’s a really important issue,” but she’s not sure if she wants to do it “singlehandedly.”
Laboy thanked Smith for her offer and said she’d be in touch with her to discuss the matter further when Laboy’s schedule permits.
Carol Blair asked Laboy and Alma to let her know when to put trees back on the agenda for a future Chester Square Neighbors meeting.
Meanwhile, Laboy encouraged neighbors to water street-trees for the first year or two “until they can get established,” she said, since the city doesn’t regularly water the trees it plants.
“Any water would help, to be honest, if it makes it to the ground,” said Laboy.

Bangladesh is renowned for the geomorphic features that include massive rivers flowing throughout the country. Within the border of Bangladesh lie the bottom reaches of the Himalayan Range water sources that flow into the Bay of Bengal totaling the number of rivers by a count of 700. The length of river bodies is about 24,140 km. There are predominantly four major river systems: the Brahmaputra-Jamuna, the Ganges-Padma, the Surma-Meghna, and the Chittagong Region river system. The Brahmaputra is the 22nd longest (2,850 km) and the Ganges is the 30th longest (2,510 km) river in the world.

On his 11th studio album,Low in High School, Morrissey’s distinctive and instantly recognisable voice sounds as powerful as ever but this could be one for his die-hard fans
Review by Adrian Peel
A divisive and often controversial figure, Morrissey has nevertheless done very well to remain in the public eye for so long, and to still be regarded as a ‘relevant’ artist, one who commands a huge global fanbase which seems to hang on his every word.
Low in High School is the 58-year-old Lancastrian’s eleventh studio album, his first since 2014’s World Peace Is None of Your Business. Produced by Joe Chiccarelli and recorded in France and Italy, it contains 12 tracks and the cover art features a young boy outside Buckingham Palace holding an axe in one hand and a sign in the other saying “Axe the Monarchy”. Business as usual, then.
“My Love, I’d Do Anything for You”, the opening track, is suitably dark and downbeat. Though not great, it does feature some nice horns and Morrissey’s distinctive and instantly recognisable voice sounds as powerful as ever.
I quite liked the lilting and quaintly English “Jacky’s Only Happy When She’s Up on the Stage” and “Home Is A Question Mark” has a pleasant melody. Toe-tapping first single “Spent the Day in Bed” is rather fun, despite its bleak observations: “I recommend that you stop watching the news because the news contrives to frighten you.”
Better are the tango-esque “The Girl from Tel Aviv Who Wouldn’t Kneel” and the beautifully sung “Israel”.
Not a bad effort by any means, though some of the tracks are pretty heavy going, musically and lyrically, and the melodies are somewhat lacking overall, compared to the extremely high standards previously set by the artist. This is perhaps one for the die-hards only.


When the doors of the Oktibbeha County Courthouse were locked Tuesday, one county primary was still undecided. The Democratic primary for Oktibbeha County Sheriff saw incumbent Dolph Bryan, who has served in that role since 1976, finish with 2029 votes and nearly 600 more votes than the next closest candidate.

It’s an Ask & Embla original creation inspired by you! A brand-new design that fuses the look of our best-selling Ring Stacks and Classic Lobe Cuff™ for an alternative jewelry style for stretched ears.
Check out how we created our new Ringed Lobe Cuff™!
The creation of this new style has its roots in the cult-fave Ring Stacks. We were inspired by how universally well-loved they were and how creative people got with styling it. And today, our Ring Stacks have become a staple piece of alternative jewelry for many.
But with a style that’s made up of multiple stacking rings that requires the wearer to fasten individually, we understand how our Ring Stacks may not be the go-to jewelry for some – especially for those who enjoy curating different ear stacks every day. And the taller the stack, the more the rings and the more time needed to create the perfect look.
So we were set on creating a “Clip-on” Ring Stack for more individuals to be able to enjoy sporting the Ring Stack look without any hassle.
There were many minute details that we had to pay attention to during the design and development process.
Firstly, in order to create a piece that would be more convenient to wear, we looked to our best-selling Classic Lobe Cuff™ and its easy, single clip-on mechanism to guide how our Ringed Lobe Cuff™ would work. But because we wanted to match the Ring Stack silhouette as closely as possible, we had to go through many prototypes to fully capture all the details of the look.
If you look closely at the outer edge of the Ringed Lobe Cuff™, you’ll see how we made sure to recreate the same small gaps that naturally form between each ring of a Ring Stack.
Secondly, we had to experiment with the lengths of the pieces in order to cater to different gauge sizes while balancing the arc of the design. We had to ensure that it would fit stretched lobes of different shapes, sizes and thicknesses. Having options for the length of the piece was also important as we wanted to allow wearers with different ear gauges to create different types of looks.
The Final Product
After we produced a prototype we were satisfied with, we took our time to test out the new look ourselves.
While we agreed that nothing beats the natural, free-flowing look and feel of our Classic Ring Stack, the Ringed Lobe Cuff™ opens up doors for even more styling options like with our Bejewelled Ring Stacks, ear weights or hangers.
The combinations that can be created with our Ringed Lobe Cuff™ are mainly thanks to the way it hugs the lobe with a uniformed stack – creating a sublimely sleek finish. Plus, it was a breeze to put on and take off!
To wear, simply locate the seam on the outer edge of the cuff, align your thumb nail along the seam and push gently to open the cuff. Once wrapped around your lobe, close the cuff and pinch both sides together to secure.
Our Ringed Lobe Cuff™ also comes in 6mm and 8mm drops for different lobe types. Here’s how to determine your best fit:

MISSION VIEJO : Apartments Win OK Despite Noise Issue
An 850-unit apartment complex approved by the City Council this week requires the Mission Viejo Co. to provide financial security in order to protect the city against any legal challenges to the housing tract.
The project could still be scuttled if noise caused by Marine jets returning to the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station turns out to be excessive. As a condition of approval, noise levels will be monitored at the site over the next four months.
Excessive noise was the reason the county Airport Land Use Commission denied the project last September. The complex would be built on approximately 50 acres located just off El Toro Road at the city’s northern border.
The council was concerned on Monday that the city could be sued if it overturned the commission’s decision.
Company officials said they would put a clause into tenants’ contracts notifying them of the noise, but a council majority also wanted the developer to back it up with a bond.
“I am concerned about the liability issue,” said Councilman Lawrence H. Smith.
Without any form of financial security offered by the company, the project was rejected on a 3-2 vote, Mayor Joseph D. Lowe and Councilwoman Susan Withrow supporting the project.
After taking a break, the council held a second vote and approved the project after deciding to impose financial security as a condition of approval.
The exact nature and amount of the financial consideration will be worked out between city and company officials.

The target to launch the Gaganyaan mission and send a “son or a daughter of India to space from Indian soil by an Indian vehicle by 2022 to mark the 75th year of Indian independence”, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his 2018 Independence Day speech might have not seen the light of the day.
Various factors ranging from difficulties in the realisation of complex technologies to COVID-19 and disruptions in global supply chains due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict have upset the plans.
Nonetheless, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), over the last three and half years, has developed and realised various technologies towards making India the fourth country in the world to launch a human space flight mission after the US, Russia and China.
The Gaganyaan mission aims to demonstrate the capability to launch human beings (three crew members) to low earth orbit and bring them back safely to earth by landing them in either the Bay of Bengal or the Arabian Sea.
For the Gaganyaan mission, four astronauts who have been selected have completed the first semester of crew training and are undergoing Gaganyaan Mission-specific training at the Astronaut Training Facility in Bengaluru.
According to the ISRO, the first semester of the crew training and 39 weeks of training activities have so far been successfully completed.
The astronauts, who were selected from a pool of Indian Air Force test pilots, have been given 218 lectures by both the ISRO and the Indian Institute of Science faculty, and have also undergone 75 physical training sessions. Besides, two flying practices, comprising 12 hours have been completed along with medical and course evaluations.
Between early 2020 and mid-2021, they underwent generic space flight training at Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia.
The Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) is the launch vehicle for the Gaganyaan mission. According to the ISRO, all systems in the LVM3 launch vehicle are reconfigured to meet human rating requirements and named Human Rated LVM3 (HLVM3).
“HLVM3 consists of Crew Escape System (CES) powered by a set of quick acting, high burn rate solid motors which ensures that Crew Module along with the crew is taken to a safe distance in case of any emergency either at launch pad or during ascent phase,” states the space agency on the rocket chosen for the mission.
According to the Department of Space annual report 2022-2023, the launch vehicle structures have been redesigned to meet the required human rating factor. Solid motor segments required for the static test were realised, and successful static testing of the HS200 motor was completed.
On April 6, a major milestone was completed as the final long-duration hot test of the human-rated L110-G Vikas Engine was successfully accomplished.
“The successful completion of this test marks a major milestone in the human space flight programme, Gaganyaan, of ISRO. With this test, all the planned qualification tests of the engine are completed successfully,” the ISRO said.
Prior to the first crewed flight, three test vehicles (TV) flights have been planned TV-1, TV-2 and TV-3, which, according to ISRO, are envisaged to demonstrate and validate the characteristics and performance of the Crew Escape System and parachute-based deceleration systems. The ISRO has already completed the mission design for the first test vehicle mission.
“This year-end, we are planning an unmanned test, and at the beginning of next year, one more unnamed flight will carry the humanoid VyomMitra. Subsequently, we will go for the manned flight,” said an ISRO Official.
In the Gaganyaan mission, the Orbiter Module will orbit the Earth, and it consists of Crew Module (CM) and Service Module (SM). It is designed to keep the crew safe during ascent, orbital phase, and re-entry.
“The CM is the habitable space with the Earth-like environment in space for the crew. It houses crew interfaces, human-centric products, life support systems, avionics and deceleration systems. It is also designed for re-entry to ensure the safety of the crew during descent till touchdown. SM will be used to provide the necessary support to CM while in orbit. It is an unpressurized structure containing thermal system, propulsion system, power systems, avionics systems and deployment mechanisms,” states ISRO.
The design of various systems of CM and SM have been completed.
On April 5, the space agency successfully completed the System Demonstration Model tests for Crew Module Propulsion System for the Gaganyaan programme.
“Completing this test is a major step in qualifying the Crew Module Propulsion System for the Gaganyaan programme,” the space agency said.
Besides, the ISRO has received the crew module structure simulated assembly for the Integrated Air-Drop Test (IADT) meant for validating the sequence and performance of parachute systems in the Gaganyaan mission.
In February, along with the Indian Navy, the ISRO carried out initial recovery trials of the Crew Module. The trials were part of the preparation for crew module recovery operations for the Gaganyaan mission that will be carried out in Indian waters.
Ground Stations and Tracking
The Gaganyaan mission also requires the support of ground stations from around the world for telemetry, tracking and command operations.
The Department of Space annual report 2022-2023 said that a detailed Mission Requirements Document describing the overall requirements of Gaganyaan regarding Direct-to-Ground communications support from European Space Agency ground stations has been finalised.
“Technical Implementation Plan is in progress. The requirement for Ship Borne Terminals for the ascent phase and orbit circularisation has been firmed up. A requirement note on Ship Borne Terminal and Transportable Terminal requirements for the Gaganyaan mission comprising of Transportable LEA deck with CES avionics Terminals in Ships, Cocos island and Helical Antennas and associated communication equipment, including VSAT terminals etc., are generated,” states the report.
It said that an implementation arrangement between ISRO and the Australian Space Agency has been signed by both parties for establishing and operating the Transportable Terminal at Cocos Island.

The price increase that put an entry in the ING New York City Marathon at $255 has created fears among runners and organizers that the sport will price itself out of its of success.
A story from Bloomberg details the backlash against the price hike, and the sentiment that marathons are now becoming elitist.
“I'm concerned about the sport,” said Rick Nealis, race director of the Marine Corps Marathon in Arlington, Va. “When are we going to price ourselves to the point where people stop coming?”
Not yet, it seems.
The Bank of America Chicago Marathon sold out its 45,000 entries in six days, at $150 per entry.
I am grateful to local writer Cathy Breitenbucher, who sent me a story about Geoff Hollister, from the Portland Oregonian.
The obituary published earlier this week recounts Hollister's time as one of the "Men of Oregon," running for the great Bill Bowerman, and his work in launching Nike with Phil Knight. He died of cancer at the age of 66.
As a middle-aged runner who came to the sport well after college, I find it valuable to look back at the history and the contributions made by those who shaped running today. Hollister is one of them.
Runners expect to wear out shoes, especially training for an ultra-marathon.
Parker Rios wore out a tire.
Training for the Arrowhead 135, the 45-year-old ultra veteran pushed himself out of the house in Brookfield at 2 a.m. on Saturday mornings from August to December, and pulled a car tire on a rope to Pewaukee.
Then he turned around and finished the six-hour training session in time to have breakfast with his daughters and start being dad for the day.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful rivalry.
The 2012 Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon will have a collegiate contest pitting a team from Concordia University Wisconsin against one from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.
It will be Falcons vs. Panthers (Claws vs. Paws) running for a traveling trophy awarded to the squad with the best average finishing time. Students, staff and faculty will be eligible to compete.
Kristine Hinrichs, the Lakefront Marathon director, crafted the idea and found enthusiastic support from the running leaders of both schools along the race course. UWM Chancellor Mike Lovell and Concordia President Rev. Patrick Ferry are veteran marathoners.
Jennifer Chaudoir knew all too well what she was running from.
It took her many miles to learn what she was running to.
Block by block, she ran to strength, confidence, freedom from two abusive marriages, happiness, and to victory.
Fitness Edge recently named the mother of five from Green Bay its 2011 athlete of the year. The award recognized her for 31 outright or age group wins over the year, and for the ordeal that made being an elite runner unfathomable to her for more than a decade.
Chaudoir suffered physical and emotional abuse during her first marriage, which lasted 10 years. Her second marriage was equally bad.
Schlitz Park will host a one-mile road race for cash prizes on June 26, giving area runners a unique test of speed and power, organizers announced Thursday.
The race is believed to be the first-ever, competitive mile road race for money in Milwaukee.
For some, the mile compresses all the strain and pain of a marathon into four, or five, or 10 minutes of anaerobic effort. A course that twists, turns, climbs, descends and loops through the historic neighborhood around the office park will compound that challenge.
For those ready to start their training, check out this top 10 list for improving your mile time.
The Summer Schlitz Park Miler follows the footsteps of the popular Fifth Avenue Mile, which draws nearly 4,000 runners in New York; the Medtronic TC Mile, in Minneapolis, and the State Street Mile, in Rockford, Ill.
The 62 runners who roped together for Jenny Crain and the Lakefront Marathon did a little victory dance this morning.
The Guinness Book of World Records certified their effort as the new mark for runners to complete a marathon while linked together, through all 26.2 miles and every bathroom break.
Led by Robin Gohsman and Briana Boehmer, the group beat the previous record of 54, and did it significantly faster. They crossed the line in Veteran’s Park on Oct. 2, in six hours, 20 minutes, after a nerve-wracking struggle to beat the time clock and cramps in the final nine miles.
Gohsman called the runners on Team Jennipede a group “linked by a rope and a community of purpose.”
Mary Flaws ramped up her training three years ago and has been unbeaten since in the Indoor Icebreaker Marathon Gold Medal Challenge.
The cookie baker and computer specialist from Waukesha secured the three-peat on Sunday with a victorious marathon in three hours, 13 minutes, a day after she ran a 1:34:01 in the half marathon.
Her combined time of 4:47 was two minutes better than her winning mark in 2011.

Call it a form of active hibernation.
More than 800 runners from 21 states will tuck themselves into the Pettit National Ice Center and race this weekend in the fourth annual Icebreaker Indoor Marathon.
In the cool confines of the ice center, dashers and plodders will turn thousands of laps in a 5K, half marathon, marathon and marathon relay. The truly committed will compete in the Slendertone Gold Medal Challenge, combining the half-marathon on Saturday and full marathon on Sunday.
For them, the weekend will be spent turning left, through 143.1 laps on the 443-meter track that circles the ice oval.
Inspired by the Zoom! Yah! Yah! Indoor marathon at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., Chris Ponteri created the Icebreaker in 2009.
A strong race to ninth place in the Olympic Marathon Trials on Saturday clearly energized Dot McMahan, who called it a break-through run during an interview for the Flotrack web site.
McMahan, who ran at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, joked about making the "mommy Olympics" by finishing third behind Kara Goucher and Deena Kastor in the group of mothers who raced. She was serious about the thrill of "racing" a marathon for 26.2 miles.
Instead of settling in and relaxing at various times, McMahan, 35, said she "was pressing the whole way," and "running with the big dogs."
"I've never raced a marathon from start to finish before and that made me so happy," she said. "I feel like I'm a different runner now.
"I'm so excited about what the future holds."

I could say that I wished Bart Centre would burn in hell for his sins, but I don’t think that’s going to worry him much.
Bart, you see, is an atheist and so doesn’t go in for that eternal damnation stuff. He is retired and lives in New Hampshire where he plays with his dogs, putters around the house and pens various anti-organized religion tracts under the pen name “Dromedary Hump.”
In 2009, Bart launched Eternal-Earthbound-Pets.com, a Web site that purported to serve those who believe in the rapture — that eruption of flame and brimstone that some believe heralds the return of Jesus. He advertised that he had a team of certified atheists who, for $135, would care for any dog, cat, bird or rabbit left behind when their Christian owners were whisked up to heaven. I wrote about his service in a column in May 2011.
Except, Bart told me Monday, the whole thing was a hoax. Yes, he had a Web site. Yes, he even had a PayPal account. But the people he said would care for pets after their owners had departed were actually atheists in on the joke.
The whole scheme was to sell copies of his new book, a ploy he says worked. His “service” was covered by Business Week, Bloomberg News, the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and the Huffington Post. It was covered by the BBC, NPR and Fox. Bart heard from journalists in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Russia.
“I think they were very willing participants,” he said of the reporters who clamored for interviews. He thinks the media wanted to jump on the end-of-the-world bandwagon that the loopy Harold Camping got rolling.
“I think they were eager to get as much going on that as they could,” Bart said. “They kind of sidestepped their journalistic authority. When something is as outlandish as my offering, maybe they forgot to corroborate and countercheck their own facts.”
Bart said at least two fundamentalists believed him. When they got in touch seeking his service, Bart told them he didn’t have pet-sitters in their area and then shut down his PayPal button. Then last week two men from the state’s Insurance Department showed up at Bart’s house, served him with a subpoena and summoned him to a meeting later this month. The subpoena directs him to bring copies of any applications for rapture coverage and the names, addresses and phone numbers of any customers.
Bart thinks the subpoena is the result of his tweakage of right-wing lawmakers. “I believe it’s politically motivated,” he said.
Not so, said compliance and enforcement counsel Richard McCaffrey. “The Insurance Department is unaware of any of Mr. Centre’s political views,” he said. “Our issue is only to find out whether he is engaged in the unlicensed business of insurance in New Hampshire.”
Unlicensed insurance? You do realize we’re talking about the rapture — an event that in all likelihood is in no danger of actually happening. It kind of makes the whole thing slightly ridiculous.
“I agree that it added interest to the story,” Richard said. “But as a boring insurance regulator it didn’t alter my perspective.”
If Bart was selling what amounted to pet rapture insurance, he would need to be licensed. But remember, he now says he wasn’t. He was not selling insurance for a thing he never thought would happen.
I will admit to being irritated by Bart’s shenanigans. No one likes to be hoodwinked. I’m not soothed by the fact that I had some good company. It’s kind of a jerky thing to do, Bart.
“If this is considered going beyond the pale in terms of deception what do people say about the L. Ron Hubbards, the Joseph Smiths and the Sauls of Tarsus?” he asked.
I believe firmly in the strict separation of church and state, so I’m sympathetic to many of Bart’s opinions. But he strikes me as the sort of person whose embrace of anti-religion reaches an almost religious fervor. Zealots are zealots no matter what they’re zealous about.
I asked Bart whether his prank taught him anything about fundamentalist Christians. Yes, he said. “I have to give them a little more credit than I think I did initially.”

Driving across the county with their cigarette-smoking, fast-driving, very unconventional grandmother, Mare is the last way Octavia and Talitha Boylen want to spend their summer vacation. But as Mare begins to tell them about her childhood and the forces that drove her into the Women’s Army Corps during WWII, Octavia and Tali come to a deeper understanding of their grandmother and themselves.
Alternating chapters break the story down between “now” and “then”, but Mare’s story is where this book shines. The road trip parts were less interesting and seemed unnecessary to me, although Davis does bring the two stories together in the end. What stood out most to me are the themes of family, loyalty, and inequality. It was heartbreaking to see Mare struggle with her mother’s silence after she joined the WAC and uplifting to witness the fierce love and sense of duty she felt towards her sister, Feen (which paralleled the relationship between Octavia and Tali). Davis also highlighted the disparity with which African Americans were treated during the war. They were good enough to fight but were still segregated in barracks, at drinking fountains and at nightclubs. Mare’s frustration is palpable:
“It is crazy to be here fighting for freedom and democracy when we are not free. It tears me up to wonder why we are here, why our colored men go down fighting, when things will stay the same at home.” (p. 195)
The only thing I felt was lacking was character connection. The plot moved quickly, but I didn’t feel for the characters.

– Forces in Hounslow face a 10% vacancy rate;
– Vacancies leave Hounslow without 10 sergeants;
– High vacancy rates leave ‘a gaping hole at the heart of the Met’;
– Figures show a £13.7m Met underspend on police officer pay, suggesting that that vacancies have been sitting open as part of a cost saving exercise.
New figures obtained by Labour London Assembly Member Joanne McCartney show that in May this year (the latest period available) there were 1,209 vacancies for police sergeants and constables across the capital’s borough forces.
The high vacancy rates come on top of significant cuts in police numbers since the Government came to power, with official figures showing 8 police officers and PCSOs cut from Hounslow’s streets between May 2010 and May 2014, and 4,694 from London’s streets overall. A report last year also found that the Met’s proportion of officers deemed ‘visible’ was the third lowest in England and Wales.
Hounslow is one of 14 London boroughs with vacancy rates of over 6%, with five facing double digit deficits. Harrow is shown to have the highest percentage of vacancies, with 15% of its sergeant and constable posts unfilled. Waltham Forest had the highest overall number, with 72 vacancies from a force of 664.
The figures were revealed after HMIC warned that “forces across England and Wales plan to achieve most of their savings by reducing the number of police officers, PCSOs and police staff… most of the savings [of the MPS] come from reducing the size of the workforce.”
Labour London wide Assembly Member, Murad Qureshi AM, said:
“In his manifesto Boris Johnson pledged to put more officers on the beat. In reality what we have seen is 8 police officers and PCSOs cut from Hounslow’s streets since this Government came to power. Now we learn that on top of that, 10%, of Hounslow’s police officers are missing due to unfilled an vacancy, that’s 55 extra officers who should be on our streets. It is an absolute scandal that police numbers have been allowed to fall this low, these vacancies are leaving a gaping hole at the heart of the local police force.
“Whilst a small churn in the number of officers is to be expected, these are deeply concerning figures. With 10% police officer positions unfilled we need to ask not only what impact that has on policing, but why the Mayor of London Boris Johnson has allowed it to happen in the first place. Either the depth of officer morale is so low they are haemorrhaging officers, or these posts are being kept open to keep costs down. Either way the Mayor should take immediate action to ensure our police force is up to strength and vacancies are filled as quickly as possible.”
- Murad Qureshi AM is a Labour London wide Assembly Member.
- Police vacancy figures across London boroughs (as of 31 May 2014) were supplied in response to a question to the Mayor from Joanne McCartney AM. The combination of borough vacancies and neighbourhood policing team vacancies totalled 1,209.
- A breakdown of police vacancies by borough is available here.
- Actual police officer strength across London boroughs (as of May 2014) were published on London Datastore (figures are accessible via the raw data link, and then by clicking on Police Officers and Staff Numbers, by Borough/Business Unit).
- The MPS has the third lowest proportion of officers that are deemed ‘visible’ in England and Wales 2013-14, at 52%. (Value for Money Profiles, HMIC, November 2013, p 43).
- HMIC warned that “… most of the savings [of the MPS] come from reducing the size of the workforce.” In its report Responding to Austerity – Metropolitan Police Service (p 16).
- The June 2014 MOPAC monitoring report stated that there was a £13.7m underspend on police officer pay in 2013/14 (MOPAC Monthly Report to the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee – June 2014, Appendix One, p 6).

In a recent exchange of words, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma responded to All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal’s controversial statement regarding purchasing ministers.
Ajmal’s statement on buying ministers:
Ajmal had earlier made a statement implying that ministers could be bought, prompting a sharp and humorous retort from Sarma. The Chief Minister, took the opportunity to playfully address the AIUDF chief’s insinuation.
Sarma began by asserting that the budget of the Chief Minister of Assam stands at a substantial Rs. 1.5 lakh crores. With a touch of humor, he acknowledged, “I might be a small man, and maybe Ajmal can buy me.” However, he swiftly turned the tables by raising a crucial question, questioning whether Ajmal possessed the staggering sum of Rs. 15 lakh crores required not just to acquire him but to purchase the loyalty of 10 chief ministers.
The Chief Minister’s statement cleverly utilized the budgetary figure to underscore the impracticality of Ajmal’s suggestion. By humorously proposing that Ajmal might have the means to buy him individually but questioning the feasibility of purchasing 10 Chief Ministers, Sarma effectively highlighted the magnitude of financial resources needed to influence a significant political landscape.
