City crews did great job clearing snow
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the City of London road crews who worked tirelessly from early Thursday to Saturday morning in making the streets and sidewalks safe for travel.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
We received quite a dumping of snow overnight on Thursday, but by Friday afternoon roads and sidewalks were much improved from their work and by Saturday morning they were all clear. Great job!

Plows slow to clean sidewalk snow
I would like to volunteer to help buy the city new sidewalk plows. We live on Commissioners Road in Byron.
Last week, my wife and I trudged knee deep in snow on the sidewalk as cars whizzed by on a clear road. Then, not one, but two sidewalk plows passed, on the road.
I am left to conclude that the plows are not able to move in the deep snow that was on the sidewalk, hence my offer to help the city buy new ones that can negotiate the deep snow on the sidewalks.

Renewed effort needed downtown
I am a fan and supporter of London’s downtown. Like many, I am concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on its retailers, restaurants and bars.
I read about Toronto’s plans to launch a bigger effort to encourage pop-up patios and I hope that our city council is also reviewing plans to re-invigorate our downtown. Help is badly needed. Dedicating our Dundas flex street to pedestrians and outdoor activities this summer would be a good start.

No precautions on toboggan hill
Local TV news ran a story about people tobogganing at Doidge Park. There were several hundred people with their children using the hills with absolutely no social distancing and no masks and yet they won’t open Boler Mountain and retail stores and restaurants are closed.
We are in a lockdown, but here is a story about people thumbing their noses at our rules.
Where were all of the new bylaw officers hired by the city?

Municipal tax hike unacceptable
I am blessed to have a pension that is indexed to inflation. This year’s increase is one per cent minus income tax so the net increase is 0.75 per cent.
City council is proud it reduced a projected tax increase from 4.5 to 3.5 per cent. They should be ashamed of themselves for failing miserably to control wasteful spending.
This increase is neither reasonable nor fair.
If citizens do not speak out and demand fairness, the abuse will continue and we deserve what we get.

Travel restrictions come too late
So Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finally putting some restrictions on international travellers. Isn’t that a case of closing the barn door after the horse is gone?

Health officials should know facts
The letter writer Ms. Cusilito says “It’s positivity rates that count.” If people would visit Public Health Ontario they will see that those rates have been steadily declining since late December and that’s with even more testing. Infection rates along with confirmed cases are also falling.
I’m a little shocked that public health officials aren’t looking at their own government site for up-to-date numbers on the coronavirus, while still saying that people who are in desperate need of work are to stay home.
GW Hobson, London
No real facts about vaccination plans
My son had a liver transplant and I am a 70-year-old diabetic.
I checked the London health board to see if there were any plans for sites where we could be vaccinated.
There is 15 pages of patronizing garbage about what the plan is all about but nothing about when, where and how?

An arid country with mismanaged water resources, Iran is on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Yet it is persecuting experts who could help it chart a path for the difficult decades to come.
Eric Randolph / Earth Island Journal
(Winter 2021) — If Kaveh Madani hadn’t missed his plane back to Tehran in early 2018, he would probably still be in prison today. But his meeting in Bangkok ran late, and so a carefully laid plan by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was foiled.
Madani was on a government work trip as deputy head of the Iranian environment department. A world-renowned water expert, he had been in the job less than six months, having given up a tenured position at London’s Imperial College to help his homeland deal with a devastating years-long drought. But the Revolutionary Guards — a parallel branch of power in Iran with its own army, intelligence agents, and business empire separate from the elected government — were convinced that Madani was a Western spy, sent to somehow undermine the Islamic Republic, and they were determined to take him down.
The Guards had seized his phone and laptop when he first arrived in the country to start his new position, and had interrogated him multiple times since. Now, it seemed, their plan was to leak years-old photos that they had hacked from his computer and claim he had engaged in inappropriate behavior while on the work trip to Asia. With Iran’s strict social codes, photos of him at a party with alcohol and dancing would be enough to get him fired from his government post. Having lost his political protection, his next stop would be the notorious Evin Prison, located in Iran’s capital, Tehran.

Other activists and experts were already behind bars at the time. The Revolutionary Guards had recently launched a wave of arrests targeting environmental activists, which, even by their standards of ceaselessly attacking independent NGOs, rights groups, journalists, and unions, was as baffling as it was horrific. Among those targeted were the staff of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation, an apolitical organization working to save the endangered Asian cheetah. The Guards claimed the program was a cover to place secret cameras in the desert to film the country’s missile facilities — a claim that danced a familiar line between breathtaking cynicism and catastrophic ignorance, one that would “make a cooked chicken laugh,” as the Persian saying goes. Shortly after being arrested, the head of the foundation, a much-loved academic named Kavous Emami, was found dead in his cell. His family disputes the authorities’ claim that he committed suicide.
It was pure luck that saved Madani from a similar fate. His new travel plans included a stopover in Istanbul, and it was there that he saw pictures of himself spreading across Iranian social media channels, with fabricated claims that he had been partying while away. He knew instantly that he could never go back to Iran. He cancelled his connecting flight and went into hiding.
Others were not so lucky. Almost three years later, eight members of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation have yet to emerge from the black hole of Tehran’s prison system. Some have reportedly been tortured, physically and psychologically. For months, several faced charges of mofsed-e-filarz, or “spreading corruption on Earth,” conviction of which could have sent them to the gallows. It was a small reprieve this February when their final charges were limited to espionage, and instead of a death sentence. They received between four and ten years in prison.
The targeting of Iranian environmentalists and scientists has been condemned by human rights groups across the world. It has also had immediate repercussions on conservation work in Iran, a country that has long struggled with water-scarcity challenges and that now finds itself on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I flew to Kerman province in southern Iran, famous as the heart of the country’s pistachio industry, to see the damage that severe water shortages have wrought in the region. I landed in the regional capital of Sirjan and drove from there with a local journalist out into the vast hinterland. Desert would be too evocative a word for the empty landscape that stretched out before us: no rolling yellow dunes, just a nondescript beige of dirt and rock. The true, momentous scale of Persia was to be found out here, forbidding but also awe-inspiring.
As we continued on our drive, some shapes came into view on the horizon: a deserted village consisting of three lines of mud-walled buildings in a large U-shape. The silence around the buildings’ bulbous, domed roofs gave it the ghostly feel of an outpost from which the residents — a couple of hundred maybe — had suddenly fled. In fact, they had watched their village slowly die of thirst, their livelihood turn to dust before their eyes. It was impossible to imagine that the brown fields surrounding the village were once a lush green. But all that remained were the bleached-white carcasses of dead pistachio bushes, their desiccated branches crunching underfoot.
As I stepped out of the car the heat wrapped instantly around me. We climbed up onto the roof of an abandoned storehouse and stared at the bleak landscape below. The furrows of the farmland were still visible, but I had never seen a place so devoid of moisture. The farmers here, unschooled in how to preserve the water stored in underground aquifers, had simply shoved taps into the earth and flooded the gardens whenever their bushes needed it.
The Islamic revolution of 1979 led to a population boom — the country’s population grew from roughly 37 million to nearly 55 million in the decade that followed — as well as land redistribution and the arrival of electric pumps. The need to preserve water was little understood and secondary to achieving self-sufficiency amid the diplomatic isolation that accompanied the revolution and the war with Iraq that followed. By the late 1990s, many underground reservoirs had been exhausted. A 2013 survey found that Kerman province, the heart of the pistachio industry, was losing about 20,000 hectares of pistachio farms every year to desertification.
Perhaps more than any other factor, water has defined Iran’s trajectory over the centuries — not just its agriculture, but its politics, its social relations, its greatest endeavours, and its most terrible crimes. One of the country’s leading historians, Homa Katouzian, argues it was the lack of water in the desert plains that prevented the creation of large settlements, of lords and their courts, that were necessary for European-style feudalism. That left just an all-powerful king sitting atop a sparsely populated expanse, never needing to pander to an aristocracy. Society was characterized by arbitrary rule and short-term horizons, which bred an essential rebelliousness into the Iranian spirit, he says.
Water scarcity also produced incredible feats of engineering: a web of underground aqueducts known as “qanats” that have carried water from the heads of river valleys in the mountains to the arid plains for over 2,000 years. Many of the qanats are still in use today. The rapid development of the twentieth century meant expert warnings about water usage were often ignored. The Islamic Republic favored large dams that often interrupted rivers and cut off aquifers, forcing many Iranians to drill deeper and deeper to reach underground water stores for themselves. Today, some 300,000 of Iran’s 750,000 water pumps are said to be illegal.
Once the world’s second largest saltwater lake, Lake Urima is now a fraction of its former size thanks to water mismanagement and climate change. Recently, the government has been leading efforts to reduce pressure on the lake. Photos by NASA.
The problem of water overuse has been compounded by the years-long drought that began at the turn of the twentieth century. By early 2019, an estimated 97 percent of Iran was experiencing drought conditions, much of it “severely extreme” or “extreme” in nature. Later that year, the drought broke dramatically when above-average rains led to flash floods that brought destruction and death across much of the country. But the scorched ground could not absorb large amounts of water at once, so the wet year did little to quell the country’s thirst — even after the floods, about a third of the country’s population faced water shortages.
The effects of all this were clearly visible as we continued our journey through the Kerman desert, eventually coming across a little oasis of green among some ramshackle houses. A grey-haired man standing in his courtyard spotted us and invited us in for tea. His name was Hassan Ali Firouzabadi. He told me about working this hard terrain for the past half-century and showed me a vast, regal pistachio tree that had been there since the golden age of Shah Abbas in the seventeenth century. Its leaves had turned yellow-green from the salty water now being dredged up from underground.
“The well was about 6 meters deep when I was a child, but now it’s 150 meters, and the water is bitter,” Firouzabadi said. “This used to be a village full of people. Most have left to become laborers and drivers. Ten more years and there will be nothing left.” He still flooded the fields every few days.
Back on the highway, we stopped suddenly at the sight of an enormous crater by the highway, some 50 feet across and 20 feet deep. It was not the only one — a line of them stretched along the road. Furrows were still visible on the adjacent land to show that it had once borne crops, until farmers sucked all the water out of the ground and the subterranean reservoirs finally collapsed.
KAVEH MADANI HAD returned to Iran in September 2017 to address the water scarcity problems and other environmental challenges. He had been specially invited by the administration of President Hassan Rouhani who was trying to coax Iranian ex-pats with scientific expertise back home.
But in Iran’s chaotic mix of competing power centers, real power lies not with the elected president but the Supreme Leader, a lifetime post currently held by Ali Khamenei, and his allies in the shadowy Revolutionary Guards who are answerable to no one. Many within the Revolutionary Guards hated the idea of Westernized Iranians returning, and they were particularly suspicious of the media attention that Madani’s arrival had generated. Their intelligence agents were on his case from the moment he arrived, even setting up a special interrogation room in the airport to grill him.
“For them, it was obvious that I was being promoted by the Americans and the Brits to make a star out of me so that I would become a big figure who can shape narratives, misadvise them, affect the development plan, stop them building dams, and so on and so on,” Madani told me. We were speaking in his office at Yale University, where he eventually resurfaced in 2019 after months of lying low. Having scuppered the smear campaign against him by the Revolutionary Guards, he was still too afraid to travel in Europe or the Middle East, fearing that might put him within reach of Iranian operatives.
When I said it seemed ridiculous for the Guards to have doubted his credentials — his scientific papers were available for anyone to see and he had never taken political positions — he sighed: “This is why people end up in jail — because they think like you. You are thinking according to the rules of logic … Interrogations in Iran become a game of consistency. They are looking for little flaws in your statements, picking out small parts of your story and putting these pieces together to make their own story.”
Madani was also unlucky. The Guards were able to make a very tenuous link between him and a US billionaire named Thomas Kaplan, who used his wealth to fund hatred of the Islamic Republic through his support of the group United Against Nuclear Iran. Just one day before Madani began his new job, Kaplan gave a high-profile speech in New York that threw embers onto the dry leaves of the Guards’ paranoia, comparing Iran’s policies in the Middle East to the way a “reticulated python digests a goat.” Unfortunately, Kaplan’s other interest is wildlife conservation: He is the founder of the well-known big cat conservation group, Panthera, whose projects include protecting the remaining Asian cheetahs in Iran — through a partnership with the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation.

Madani is more interested in water than cheetahs, but the Guards discovered that he had once spoken at a conference co-organized by the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation in London. They raised this again and again in interrogations. “For them, everything is about guilt by association — networks,” Madani told me. “These [interrogators] are very emotional, young people, who have not seen the outside world … They have been told there are cases of infiltration and they’re determined to find them.”
The interrogations often focused on a mix of half-understood theories sellotaped together from things the interrogators had read on the Internet: The West was looking to engineer a water war; genetically-modified crops would kill Iranian agriculture; the United Nations was trying to lower the birth rate to eradicate the Iranian race. The story for Madani eventually coalesced into the idea that he was trying to limit Iran’s use of water so as to prevent the country from becoming self-sufficient in food production.
It wasn’t just Madani that the Revolutionary Guards were paranoid about. Not long after my visit to Kerman in 2017, the head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization (a branch of the Revolutionary Guards), Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali, announced: “Foreign interference is suspected to have played a role in climate change. Israel and another country in the region have joint teams which work to ensure clouds entering Iranian skies are unable to release rain.” He added that there was a scientific study to prove it, though he didn’t share the citation. “On top of that, we are facing the issue of cloud and snow theft,” Jalali added for good measure.
When heavy flooding hit a number of provinces the following year, a “Special Investigating Task Force” for Tasnim, the in-house news agency of the Revolutionary Guards, took the unorthodox approach of turning to the 2017 Hollywood blockbuster GeoStorm, starring Gerard Butler, for answers. “The GeoStorm film gives us a special message,” Tasnim wrote. “The United States has a specific program for manipulating the climate.”
Such a statement would be comical if the stakes were not so high. As aquifers are drawn down, wetlands dry out, and dust storms become more frequent, millions of Iranians are being driven off farms that no longer sustain life, washing up on the ugly edges of modernity in second-tier towns and cities where they encounter joblessness and poverty. It is no coincidence that little-known suburbs and satellite towns were the loci of dissent during mass protests in 2017 and 2019 that were met with violent suppression.
Still more migration is likely to follow. Global warming is expected to amplify many of the challenges Iran is already facing by further decreasing precipitation, increasing temperatures, and leading to more frequent floods over the coming decades. The country’s environment department predicts that water supplies will only support a third of the current population by 2050, and environment minister Isa Kalantari has estimated that the country could lose 70 percent of its agricultural land in the coming decades. But rather than turn to help from experts who could help deal with these problems, the Revolutionary Guards have persecuted them.

NOT LONG AFTER THE Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation arrests, I was at a party in Tehran where a gang of friends had gathered to make sushi and listen to tunes. Talk was along the usual lines: who was emigrating and who was coming back, who had found work and who had lost jobs under the new sanctions against Iran.
I couldn’t help but notice that one person seemed removed from the group as everyone else laughed and danced. A friend caught me staring and whispered in my ear: “He was arrested with the others. They only kept him for a few months but when he came out, he was very different. He had become very religious.”
While we were enjoying ourselves, their friends from the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation were in prison on the other side of town awaiting trial in a case that had been condemned around the world. More than 130 conservationists, led by Jane Goodall, had signed a letter demanding their release. The United Nations Environment Program strongly criticized the case, saying the authorities had “responded to legitimate conservation efforts of environmentalists by criminalizing their actions.”
The terrible irony was that even Iran’s own elected government had rejected the case, saying the accusations were baseless. But even this could not save them: The Revolutionary Guards did largely as they pleased.
The human rights group Amnesty International says some of the group were tortured. A family member who visited one of the inmates said they had broken teeth and bruising on their bodies. They suffered prolonged isolation designed to extract confessions. When one of them, Niloufar Bayani, finally appeared in court, she stated that the interrogators had threatened to beat her, inject her with hallucinogenic drugs, pull out her fingernails, and arrest her parents; that they showed her a piece of paper claiming it was her death sentence and pictures of her colleague Emami’s dead body, implying she would meet a similar fate. She was ejected from the court and banned from further appearances before being sentenced to ten years.
“These sentences followed sham prosecutions that proceeded without any evidence of wrongdoing and were based on false ‘confessions’ extracted under torture,” said Hadi Ghaemi, of the New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran, when the trial concluded this past February, adding that the decision “makes a mockery of the Iranian justice system.”
Prior to 2018, the environment had been one of the few subjects that could still attract young Iranians trying to do something positive for their country. While almost all avenues for political activism had been ruthlessly shut down, conservation was still viewed as largely apolitical and therefore safe. The wave of arrests of people working in this sector changed all that — just as previous operations against bloggers and tech entrepreneurs had crushed other emerging youth movements in the country.
“The environmental crisis has become one of Iran’s major challenges in the past decade — a serious economic issue with real-life consequences for many people in rural and urban areas,” Ghaemi told me. “A lot of the water and agricultural problems are due to overbuilding dams or a lack of environmental impact assessments, and due to projects built by so-called private companies with ties to the Revolutionary Guards, so these arrests have a lot to do with money-making and not having an environmental movement that questions your policies.”
The more general problem was that the Iranian authorities disliked any movement that was becoming popular at the grassroots level. “The Guards worry about any network like that,” Ghaemi said. “Policymaking, as usual, is in the hands of a few who don’t want any transparency or accountability.”
As for Madani, he is relatively safe in the US for now, but continues to be harassed online by Islamic Republic operatives. He is saddened by the environmental crisis in Iran and the lack of proper leadership. “Iran is water bankrupt; supply is less than demand. I tried to tell them: Be realistic about what you have. Adapt to your new situation,” he said. “But they didn’t want to listen.”
President Rouhani’s government, in power since 2013, at least tried to acknowledge the problem. It backed a successful project to regenerate Iran’s iconic Lake Urmia in the northwest, one of the world’s largest salt lakes that is rapidly disappearing. However, economic mismanagement and corruption — compounded by US sanctions and now the coronavirus pandemic — have left little money to finance the new technologies needed to make agriculture more sustainable. And silencing the very activists who were alert to the dangers can only worsen the crisis.
Back at the party, we had finished the sushi and dancing and collapsed into our chairs when I felt the mood suddenly drop. Four or five of the group were huddled around the kitchen counter. The smiles were gone. “They are talking about one of the guys in prison,” said my friend, leaning in again. “It is his birthday tomorrow and they are thinking about what they can do.” And then they leaned back, and it was as if a bell had been rung and the interlude ended: The music went back up, the smiles returned. I was amazed at how they could jump from something so depressing back into a party mood. But, of course, they didn’t have a choice — life had to continue.

We are looking for older people to take part in project that brings young and old together in conversation. Help us to tell the story of our city through its people and to discover common ground across the generations
Salisbury Museum is running a new project in which we will work with small groups (5 or 6) of older people and a paired group of young people (ages 12 to 17). The groups will get to know one another, explore themes that are important us all and record memories and stories. This is all about conversation and the project team and volunteers are looking forward to helping the groups come together, take part in activities and chat. At the end of 5 sessions our aim is to record an ‘oral history’ from every participant.
This is a chance to learn about oral histories, listen and be listened to and to meet some new people in a safe and supportive setting.
We are working with some pre-existing groups and the young participantd will come from local schools and youth groups but we also want to offer the chance to take part to individuals in our community. We will only start this project once it is safe to do so, but we would really like to stay in touch with anyone who is interested now and to keep them updated on the project over the next few months.
I would like to take part, how can I find out more?

Is cracking a finger harmful?

Is cracking a finger harmful?
Finger snapping is a common behavior that many people enjoy. Some people snap their fingers when stressed or bored, while others do it out of habit. There are many myths about finger snapping, the most common being that it can cause arthritis. However, there is no scientific evidence to show that snapping fingers can cause arthritis. There is also no evidence to suggest that finger snapping can weaken joints.
Why Do People Crack Knuckles?
Studies have shown that most people crack their fingers regularly. Reasons people crack their fingers include:
- Tension: Like curling your hair or rubbing your hands, knuckling your knuckles is a common way to keep your hands busy when you’re feeling nervous.
- Loving the Sound It Makes: Many people enjoy listening to knuckle cracking sounds.
- Stress: Many people with stress want to snap their fingers. This gives them a distraction and they feel relieved of their stress without harming anything.
- How It Feels: Many people think that cracking the knuckles actually creates more room in the joint, thereby reducing tension and increasing mobility. However, there is no evidence that any vacuum has been created, even though it feels like a vacuum.
- Habit: Many people develop a habit of snapping their fingers. Whatever the reason, you start to crack your knuckles, but it’s easy to keep doing it without thinking, up to a point. When you unconsciously start cracking your knuckles several times a day, you know it has become a habit. People who crack their knuckles five or more times a day are known as habitual knuckle crackers.
What Makes a Pop Sound When You Crack Your Joints?
As mentioned above, many people like to listen to the crackling sound when you pull your knuckles. The reason why the joint makes this cracking sound is not fully understood. For a long time it was believed that this cracking sound is caused by nitrogen bubbles forming or collapsing in the joint fluid. Another belief was that the ligaments around the joint were made up of movements.
A study was conducted in which the joints were cracked under MRI. On MRI, a gap was observed due to the negative pressure created by the rapid separation of the joint. The researchers determined that the cracking sound is produced by the formation of this cavity. But they could not find an explanation for why the loudness of the voice was caused.
In another study, it was suggested that the cracking sound was caused by the partial collapse of the cavity. Various studies were reviewed and it was found that it takes about 20 minutes for the cavity to completely collapse for a new cavity to form. This is also believed to be the reason why, once the knuckles are snapped, it is not possible to immediately repeat it.
Are There Any Side Effects of Cracking Your Joints?
In general, cracking your joints shouldn’t be a painful exercise. It should not cause swelling or any shape change in the joint. If you experience any of these symptoms when you crack your knuckles, it could be an indication of another problem. In very rare cases, you may manage to pull the finger off the joint or cause serious injury to the ligaments around the joints. If you notice that your joints are swollen or sore when you crackle, it’s most likely due to an underlying medical condition such as gout or arthritis.
How to Stop Cracking Your Joints
While snapping your fingers is unlikely to harm you, it can be distracting and uncomfortable for the people around you. If it becomes a habit, you may find it difficult to quit.
Here are some tips that can help you break the knuckle habit:
- If you’re cracking your knuckles to relieve stress, alternative solutions such as exercise, meditation, or deep breathing can be tried.
- Think about why you broke your joints and deal with any underlying issues that arise.
- Try to be aware of the times you crack your knuckles and consciously try to stop yourself.
- Engage your hands with other stress relievers like using a stress ball or rubbing a worry stone.
- Try wearing a rubber band on your wrist and wear the band when you’re about to crack your knuckles.
It won’t hurt to crack your knuckles. It should also not cause pain, swelling, or change in the shape of the joint. If any of these occur you should be checked out by a doctor.

Local teens prepare for youth summit promoting tobacco-free Tennessee
Published 9:30 am Thursday, May 26, 2016
Fifteen Carter County teens are taking the lead on tobacco use prevention by attending the first ever Free and Clear Tennessee (FACT) Summit in Sevierville, Tenn. The conference will take place from July 17-19 and will include a variety of educational opportunities for youth.
“The idea is that they will go get an education with other teens about the harmfulness of tobacco use, and then they can return home and to other events across the state to be ambassadors for healthy living without tobacco,” said Jilian Reece, health educator for the Tobacco Settlement with the Carter County Health Department.
The mission of this summit is to educate youth between the ages of 13 and 18 about the harmful effects of tobacco use.
“It’s important to expose children at an early age to the negative effects of smoking and tobacco use because it is such an addictive habit,” said Lauren Meier, respiratory therapist and summit chaperone. “Studies show that once they begin, most continue the habit throughout their lifetimes.”
Summit organizers hope the event will spark a youth-led movement across the state to end tobacco use in Tennessee. One teen, Reece Townsend, said he hopes to start a video blog when he returns.
“I think that will help educate kids around the world,” Townsend said.
Others who will attend the conference said some of their grandparents are tobacco users, and some have even died from lung cancer or other tobacco-related diseases. For this reason, they said they see why it is important to never start smoking.
“The Centers for Disease Control and prevention states chronic respiratory disease is the second leading cause of death in the United States, and the leading cause of that is smoking,” Meier said. “So it’s totally preventable.”

Felipe Carlos is a master's degree in Applied Computing on Reproducible Earth Observation Science from Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), with experience in web development (Python and ReactJS) and cloud infrastructure. Felipe also has experience processing, manipulating, and managing spatio-temporal data (data cubes, image time-series) in R and Python programming languages.
Currently, Felipe is a GEO Knowledge Hub team member, collaborating in the development of the digital library and its various modules.
Earth Observation (EO) applications enable decision-makers, researchers, and specialists to understand the phenomena of our planet, allowing global changes to be made from local actions taken by the public and private sectors. With the dissemination and use of Open Data practices, the EO applications have been enhanced, allowing numerous works to be developed, ranging from the analysis of anthropic actions on inland waters to the temporal analysis of land use and land cover changes. These advances and improvements in EO applications have made their development complex, requiring several materials to be used together with the data to compose the results. Consequently, organizing, sharing, and preserving these applications and the knowledge within them to enable reproduction and replication has become a challenge. Often these activities require specific expertise from researchers and specialists and technical infrastructure.
The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and its community promote Open Data practices, being responsible for defining guidelines and developing the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) that enhances access to EO data. Recently, GEO started the development of a new component of the GEOSS ecosystem, the GEO Knowledge Hub (GKH), to foster the reproduction and replication of EO applications. Created based on the GEO Data Sharing Principles and the GEO Data Management Principles, the GKH allows users to share their EO applications and the underlying resources (e.g., processing scripts, datasets, and description notes), enabling people to understand, reproduce and replicate the shared EO application. In the GKH, the resources of an application can have files (e.g., satellite imagery datasets, in-situ data files) and metadata (e.g., title, authors, spatial location). Furthermore, each resource can be associated with an individual persistent identifier (DOI) created by the GKH, enhancing dissemination and citation.
Applications shared on the GKH can be found and used, making their knowledge accessible. For this, the GKH provides high-level features for organizing the application materials and facilitating their sharing. In addition, the GKH has a powerful search engine that enables textual, thematic (e.g., Sustainable Development Goal-oriented search), and spatial-temporal searches. In addition to share and search capabilities, the GKH provides features that facilitate community engagement, such as discussion sections (Real-time Q&A) and a feedback system. All these features are accessible through high-level web interfaces and Rest APIs, allowing the integration of various tools to use the digital repository.
The GKH is already being used to share and preserve many EO applications. For example, several GEO Work Programme Activities store their applications in the GKH (e.g., GEOGLAM, GEOVENER, Digital Earth Africa, and many others). These and other use cases have shown positive results, indicating that the GKH can assist in organizing, sharing, and preserving the knowledge generated in EO applications. Therefore, in this workshop, we will introduce the main concepts of the GKH, guidelines, and practices in how users can use it to share and preserve EO applications.

EDMONTON, Sept. 7, 2016 /CNW/ - Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) reports that severe storms that swept through the Southern Prairies during the third week of July resulted in over $66 million in insured damage according to Catastrophe Indices and Quantification Inc. (CatIQ).
From July 18 - 20, a low pressure system caused heavy rainfall, large hail, high winds, tornadoes, and extreme lightning across the southern regions of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. This system caused significant hail damage in Medicine Hat, AB and caused tornadoes in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This storm also saw winds of up to 107 km/h in the City of Winnipeg. Outlying areas west of Winnipeg reported winds upwards of 122 km/h.
"This summer has brought storm after storm to the Prairie provinces," said Bill Adams, Vice-President, Western and Pacific, IBC. "As the traditional storm season begins to wind down, Canadians should take this opportunity to review their insurance policies, make sure they're adequately covered, and implement a plan for when bad weather strikes."
Most damage was reported to have occurred in Alberta. Damage to homes and autos in that province, largely due to hail, resulted in close to $52 million in claims. This storm follows a previous system that hit Alberta and Saskatchewan a week earlier which resulted in nearly $65 million in insured damage.

Around 500 women are expected to attend the first zumbathon charity event of the Oman Cancer Association (OCA) at Muscat College Sports Hall on April 23.
This was announced at a press conference held at the OCA headquarters on Sunday.
The event will be led by Ana Georgescu, zumba education specialist from Romania. Two other instructors, Asya al Lamki and Natalia Costa, zumba instructors from Oman will also be taking part in the event.
Asya said, "Zumba is one of the most fun and easy fitness programme. On doctor’s recommendation even people with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and pregnant women can do zumba. It is a stress-free exercise that is known to have several health and psychological benefits. Last year, we conducted a similar event at Petroleum Development Oman, which saw around 200 participants. We raised RO6,000, and this time we have tied up with OCA. We will donate 80 per cent of proceeds from the event to OCA.”
Speaking about the growing interest in zumba, Natalia said that there are around 40 instructors in Oman. "It is becoming very popular. A hour of zumba can burn about 500 calories.” Zumba originated in Colombia in 2001 and has since spread worldwide, said Asya. The workout is done on fast rhythms and combines moves of salsa, flamenco, tango and several other dance forms.
Yuthar al Rawahy, founder and chairperson of OCA said, "This event will draw attention of many people. We are happy to be associated with these two zumba trainers in Oman. The event will help us raise awareness and promote good health.” The event is open only for women above 16 years. Entry fee is RO10 and it will held from 3-6pm.

Forty Seven Samurai : A Tale of Vengeance and Death in Haiku and Letters
Stonebridge Press (2019)
Review by Trevor Skingle
The most famous vendetta in Japanese history has led to many publications, most in Japanese. The majority of English publications are either fictional adventure novels or in depth academic studies. Until now there has been a dearth of material which focuses on the personal narratives of the protagonists. However, this deficiency seems to have been addressed with this eminently readable and engaging account in the English language by the skilful Japanese commentator Sato Hiroaki.
The first chapter sets the context leading up to the Ako Incident (1702) when the retired court protocol expert Kira Yoshinaka was decapitated by the daimyo Asano Naginori’s retainers. This was after Naganori had attacked Kira with a sword within the precincts of Edo (former Tokyo) castle for which he was sentenced to death by seppuku. The chapter includes profiles of the key participants involved in the initial attack on Kira, as well as that of the ‘dog’ shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi who was responsible for the eventual handing down of the sentence of seppuku on Naganori. There is also a discussion of the enlightened Genroku period with achievements in learning that seem commensurate with that of the opening of Japan at the end of Sakoku (national isolation) in the 1850s. What is interesting is the inclusion of facts that are probably otherwise not particularly well known outside of academic and Japanese circles. For instance that Ako castle was built by Naganori’s grandfather which would explain the violent rhetoric and the initial almost unshakeable reticence of Naganori’s retainers to surrender it to the shogunate. Given the relative paucity of information like this in English language publications it is facts like these that make this narrative particularly engaging. These relatively unknown events also include a fascinating discussion about the ironic predilection of the shogun for the death penalty for human beings in spite of his ‘Pitying the Sentient Edicts’. Such facts and discussions make this narrative so much more accessible than some of the more academic accounts that are currently available.
In the second chapter the build up to the fatal attack on Kira is covered and begins with the tense debates between the two main factions of the Ako retainers, the ‘radicals’ and the others, about the handing over of the Ako castle to the shogun’s forces. The intimate personal testimony and exchanges that it uncovers, including those between Ako retainers in both Edo and Ako, make this much more readable than many other third person academic narratives. The letters also expose the vehement feelings of the Ako retainers about the unequal treatment afforded Kira by the shogunate. What is very interesting, given current debates about the use of social media, is how some of the poetic forms that were written and shared at the time are so evocative of and almost mirror the modern use of social media, including subtle forms of ‘trolling’. For instance, the approbation that followed when Oishi Kuranosuke and a few other retainers didn’t act on their initial avowed intent to commit seppuku in order to follow their lord in death. There are a number of incidents and testimonies that cover gay relationships and issues amongst some of the Ako retainers. A charming inclusion amongst these is the testimony that Oishi’s son Chikara gave about his relationship with a male kabuki actor called Aiyama Konosuke who was also an iroko (prostitute). Except for one online article in English all other mention of this appears only in very brief online posts in Japanese. What the book neglects to mention is that after Chikara’s seppuku, Konosuke became a Buddhist monk to pray for the repose of Chikara’s soul. Oishi Kuranosuke’s lyricism also comes to the fore towards the end of the chapter where, interspersed with his poetic and dramatic texts, the perception by others of his perceived predilection for licentiousness during the period before the revenge attack is discussed.
The third quite substantial chapter covers the development of the essential components that were set up in preparation for the raid on Kira’s mansion, the attack itself, and briefly the aftermath. The chapter begins with an examination of the 1697 travelogue by Otaka Gengo who was considered, as well as a number of other Ako vassals, a haiku master. This chapter focuses more on haiku than any of the others with some fascinating personal accounts expressed in part by prose and in part by verse. For instance, one haiku in particular alludes to a potential reason for Asano’s attack on Kira. There is also some discussion, based on a letter from the haiku master Kikaku, which seems, at first, to lay to rest the uncertain origin of Otaka Gengo’s vendetta related haiku inscribed on a public monument in Ryogoku bridge children’s park: ‘Sun’s bounty swiftly shatters the thick ice’ (hi no on ya tachimachi kudaku atsugori). With plenty of personal testimonies and haiku, this chapter is one of those that makes what at first was a good book an excellent one and makes it hard to put down.
Though there is very little about the seppuku of the retainers the other elements of the aftermath to the incident are covered briefly in the fourth chapter through a review of the popularity of the vendetta in the public eye in opposition to the censure of the authorities. The chapter covers its public exposure by means of ‘camouflaged’ bunraku (puppet) and kabuki theatre adaptations, the many adaptations of the story abroad, and subsequent bans post WWII through to its resurgent popularity in later years, particularly on film. However as regards the first kabuki performance, there only was a first generation kabuki actor called Miyazaki Denshichi; there never was a second generation actor by that name. And he and the first generation Nakamura Shichisaburo didn’t abandon the play, which was actually called Akebono Soga yoichi (Night Attack by the Soga Brothers). It was in fact banned after three days by the authorities for ‘political reasons’ when it was performed at the Nakamuraza kabuki theatre in the second lunar month of 1702.
In the fifth chapter, the issue of the ‘disloyal’ retainers is covered with a succinct look at the motivations and direction some of them took with a few third person accounts and some other imagined ‘dramatic monologues’ including what happened to Kajikawa Yosube, the person who prevented Asano Naganori from killing Kira in the matsu no o-roka (Great Pine Corridor) of Edo castle.
One of the most fascinating parts of the book is the final chapter. It is highly likely that this English translation of Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s short story ‘Aruhi no Oishi Kuranosuke’ (One Day in the Life of Oishi Kuranosuke) of Oishi’s reflections on his life and his involvement with the campaign is the first time this has been available in translation. It cannot be better summarised than with the critic and author Kato Shuichi’s words that the story ‘turns Oishi’s selfless heroism on its head by presenting the image of a lone protagonist reflecting on how future generations will look upon his actions… Akutagawa’s new interpretation goes beyond conventional form and probes the inner world of his hero’.
The afterword covers the history of revenge in Japan and looks further at the friction between subjective interpretive Confucian philosophy and explicit shogunate governance regarding the act of vengeance, a debate that continues to this day. Only the salient points are covered, so for those interested in exploring this particular aspect in detail, it has been covered in much greater detail in other academic publications. This section also looks at the equivalence in punishments for the attacker and the attacked which for witnesses of the vendetta and its aftermath at the time seemed somewhat lacking in justice; an interesting debate. There is also a discussion about what may be a little known legislative procedure at the time, that of revenge registration, which permitted revenge to be legally carried out.
There are no illustrations other than the inclusion of several crests associated with the various factions involved in the saga at the beginning of each chapter and a couple elsewhere. Though the book does cover a lot of what has until now not been readily available in English other than in academic papers, it still leaves some of the main perennial questions unanswered, those which will probably remain unanswered in perpetuity. In summary this is wonderfully fascinating book written in a non-academic style which covers the Ako Incident in a way that comes up with facts and narratives that other academic books have neglected which is what makes it so engaging. Though there are a few odd transliterations, the use of Japan bridge instead of the generally accepted name of Nihonbashi for instance, and some occasionally strange syntax, this is thoroughly recommended reading.

C2C (formerly Coups 2 Cross) is a four-man turntablist crew from France who have to their credit four consecutive DMC Team World Championship titles. The members — DJ Pfel, MC 20Syl, DJ Atom & DJ Greem — met in high school and began crafting their act using turntables to create a electro/urban sound. The group released their first EP “Down the Road” in January 2012.
They describe themselves this way:
“C2C’s true purpose, beyond competition, has always been to produce music, or rather to devise a brand new way to create and perform music. Now in their thirties, and freed from the constraints of the competition circuit, the quartet has matured, without losing any of its enthusiasm and energy. Rather than relying on borrowed samples and scratches, C2C has recorded an extensive palette of instruments: strings, brass, guitar, bass, keys, etc., often played on vintage instruments and equipment to capture the elusive “seventies sound” they so cherish. The result is an acrobatic yet deeply melodic and atmospheric series of pieces, a uniquely electrifying blend of electro, soul and hip-hop moods.”
C2C has an 80-date concert tour scheduled for 2013, and their recently released album “Tetra” has gone platinum in France. A video for one of the songs was released this week: “Happy” was posted to YouTube by C2Cdjsofficial.
If you missed it, here’s C2C’s video “Down the Road” featuring pro skater Richie Jackson.

Le Donne Cucina Italiana Ratings and Reviews
The food was very good. Homemade papparedel with bolonaise was a big hit. So was the homemade tortellini with a light cream sauce. Prosciutto and melon was also good. Wine list left much to be desired and the red we ordered wasn’t very good. This is a very good place for homemade Italian food without the frills.
We have been to Donne Cuchina before and we usually go when the canneloni is on the menu. We made a reservation and it was quite busy when we arrived, so it took a while to be seated. We ordered canneloni with spinach, and pasta carbonara, and the food was good, however the canneloni was not as hot as usual. The server also did not bring bread , so I am not sure if this was a miss, or the restaurant has changed it's practice. It was not overly warm that day so the wine which is at room temperature was better than when it is hot. We may try a different Italian place if we can get a recommendation on good canneloni.
Firstly the service was outstanding. Not only was our server excellent, but there were others who were checking on us and helping as well. They were helpful about menu choices (there are a lot) and allowed my fiancé to create an entree out of two separate choices, and both were excellent. We both loved the homemade pasta. It was lively that night as a group was having an event, and while we were not bothered by it, the staff was careful to keep asking. If/when I’m back in the area, I’d definitely go again.
Although this restaurant received mostly high-praise, we found it "fair to middling." Friday evening @ 7:15 jam packed. Seated quickly. The fresh tomatoes atop the bruschetta left the toasted bread soggy. Cooked spinach excellent, chopped salad adequate (small portion). Pasta said to be the main event. Linguini with shrimp and button mushrooms was very flavorful; shrimp were medium-sized ($17.95). Linguini with clams and mussels in white sauce was only fair ($18.95). The sauce lacked sufficient shellfish flavor. The linguini was properly cooked. Cabernet sauv by the glass lacked any depth/complexity. Although we were at tail-end of ''the crush'', 40+ elapsed before we got our entrees. I do believe there is better to be had locally for Italian food.
The waitress messed up our order several times. Our friends ordered a bottle of wine. She brought a glass. She never brought a wine bucket. She didn’t bring the bread ever. Not that we needed it, but she didn’t bring it at all. My husband ordered a Diet Coke. She never told him the restaurant doesn’t have Coke products but Pepsi products. We can tell the difference between Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke. When giving us our dinner, she gave us the wrong meals. She just does not listen well.
We were visiting Palm Desert for the holiday weekend and wanted a quick bite. The atmosphere was casual. I liken this restaurant to a “Maria’s kitchen” , but not as good of food. It was fine, the service was friendly, but I probably wouldn’t go back. If you don’t mind an older crowd and mediocre Italian food, then this is the place for you
This small Italian restaurant features homemade pasta that can compete with any Los Angeles or
New York neighborhood restaurant.
Pastas (and there are a lot of choices!) are out of this world. Service excellent And you can hear your groups entire conversation. Thank you for an amazing pre -Thanksgiving dinner. We’ll be back!
Lovely neighborhood spot with an enormous menu. Meal starts with delicious garlicky bruchetta. Eggplant parm was a little mushy. Great homemade pastas. Eggplant sausage and shrimp with truffle oil were delicious. Nice salads and minestrone soup was great. Good service. Indoor seating is a little crowded. Front room more stuffy than the back.
Food was very good! Complimentary piece of bruschetta that was delishious. Had an appetizer of scallops on garlic spinach, also very tasty. And for our entre we both had chicken piccata. Again really tasty. Not a bite left on the plate. Enjoyed it and will be going back.

Actions on the materials used
- Commitment No. 4 -
Viscose, the new cotton
The first natural fiber used in the world, cotton is also very water and energy consuming.
As the textile industry strives to reduce its impact on the environment, professionals are turning to a new bio-based fiber, derived from cellulose pulp extracted from trees and reprocessed into viscose. This synthetic fiber of natural origin is largely supplied by India. The fashion industry favors it for its technical performance and comfort, similar to cotton. By working with factories that secure the treatment of effluents and do not participate in deforestation, the textile industry is opening up a more ecological and responsible way forward for the sector. For example, the TENCEL and ECOVERO brands guarantee an 80% reduction in solvent consumption, thus limiting the pollution of reprocessed water.
Organic cotton and recycled polyester: the ideal mix for the planet
The qualities of organic cotton are no longer in question.
Ten times more water-efficient than conventional cotton, grown without chemical inputs and produced in a way that respects people and the earth, this certified raw material is even more interesting when mixed with recycled polyester (RPET).
Produced from the fusion of polyester, after recycling small plastic bottles, organic cotton helps reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in the environment, including the oceans. The combination of natural and man-made materials gives the fabric greater strength and reduces the carbon footprint of the textile industry. Organic cotton today represents less than 1% of world production. RPET can save up to 60% of energy.
Recycled polyester, a circular material par excellence
Protecting men and women at work is the purpose of protective clothing (PPE). In order to face accidents and bad weather, they must meet precise standards (in particular the EN 340 standard) and guarantee the safety of the worker by ensuring a minimum risk of physical injury or illness. Their role is to prevent mechanical and chemical aggression. Technical protective clothing is adapted to various professional risks (chemicals, fire, heat, cold, humidity, insects, etc.).
CEPOVETT SAFETY works in particular with its supplier TDV Industries to manufacture PPE made of recycled polyester and labeled GRS. Made from plastic bottles, this material has insulating properties that allow it to be used outdoors and it is part of a circular economy logic.

The year 2017 marks a shift in the use of linen. By favouring this natural fibre, used for hundreds of years by our grandparents, CEPOVETT Group favours local supplies.
European flax is grown from the south of Normandy to the north of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. 80% of the world's production of flax fibre is of European origin and France is the world leader. Lafont, one of the CEPOVETT Group brands, integrates it in its new collection and mixes this local natural material with a recycled synthetic fiber from small plastic bottles: R-PET. In 2018, CEPOVETT Group will continue its work of evangelizing to its customers so that tender after tender, they will favor the use of alternative raw materials, such as organic or fair trade cotton, linen or recycled polyester.

Favour innovative and bio-sourced materials. CEPOVETT Group offers its customers alternative materials such as recycled polyester, linen or hemp, known for its exceptional resistance, its absorbent and anti-bacterial fibers that do not require any pesticide and little water for its cultivation. In 2016, CEPOVETT Group is rolling out hemp and linen fabric to eventually replace cotton.
By privileging these natural fibers, CEPOVETT Group favors local supplies. European flax, cultivated from the south of Normandy to the north of France, Belgium and the Netherlands, is the only vegetable textile fiber originating from the continent and cannot be relocated: 80% of the world production of flax fiber is of European origin and France is the world leader.
It is a rare product that represents less than 1% of textile fibers consumed in the world. France is the leading European producer and the second largest producer in the world. Natural and local resources, therefore, from which CEPOVETT Group will be able to draw for the manufacture of its clothing of tomorrow. The company also asserts itself as a leader in the use of plastic bottles to offer eco-responsible fibers to its customers. R-PET has the characteristic of being easily recycled for multiple uses, including polyester fiber used in the manufacture of warp and weft fabrics, fleeces and other technical clothing.

With more responsible supply chains, CEPOVETT Group's professional clothing collections are made up of a majority of natural materials that have a reduced impact on the environment compared to synthetic materials. We favour supplies that guarantee a reasoned culture. Chemicals and pesticides are limited in order to reduce pollution of soil, water and living organisms.
Beyond the fair cotton approach, CEPOVETT Group proposes to its customers alternative materials such as recycled polyester, resulting from the recycling of plastic bottles, and hemp which could eventually replace cotton. In 2015 and beyond, a commitment to organic and fair trade cotton will help protect the environment and preserve biodiversity for local people. The promotion of traditional farming methods is also a way to use irrigation methods that consume less water than intensive production.

The cable modem's R.F. side will only work in the spectrum that cable
service providers use; up to approx 800 MHz. WiFi operates in the
Also, the modem's protocol is probably only DOCSYS 1.1 compliant if it's
very old. But possibly DOCSYS 2.0 if it's not too old.
However. someone may be interested, if it's compatible, as a rent free

The Crescent is a new buy to let property development in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester.
The Crescent is enviably located in an area of Salford that shares its namesake. It’s just a short walk from Manchester city centre and enjoys unrivalled views over the River Irwell and surrounding parklands.
The Crescent will comprise 399 apartments and seven townhouses spread across three distinct tower blocks with striking facades. One, two, and three-bedroom apartments will be available, all benefitting from thoughtful layouts, premium fixtures and high-end finishes. Premium facilities are also available onsite including a private cinema, indoor heated pool and spa and a gymnasium.
The Crescent Investment Fundamentals
Why invest in Property in Salford
Salford has undergone something of a major regeneration these past few years. The city of Salford lies just outside of Manchester and is currently home to more than 8,700 businesses which employ over 127,000 people. Many of the businesses that have located to Salford are in the media industry, such as the BBC and ITV. Its emerging media scene coupled with easy access to Manchester’s city centre has meant it has attracted a lot of young professionals. Its population is currently around 234,500 people, growing 6.5% over the last ten years. Consequently, it has a growing nightlife and cultural offering. Salford is constantly evolving and development projects such as MediaCityUK have been cited as an inspiration to developers and investors alike countrywide.
Salford has a competitive housing market, with prices on average 20% lower than that of Greater Manchester. As it is just a short commute from Manchester city centre and has a commercial centre of its own, it is of no surprise that many people find it convenient as a place to live. Even though Salford is currently affordable, prices are rising quickly and over the past five years according to Zoopla they have risen by 20.07%. Investors should consider Salford now to achieve the best possible rental yields and capital growth.
