Magnesium Malate supplements are a combination of magnesium and malic acid. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement for managing Magnesium deficiency. Magnesium malate is formed through a process called chelation. Chelation refers to the bonding of a metal ion, in this case, magnesium, with an organic molecule, malic acid. This bonding forms a stable complex known as a chelate. The chemical formula of magnesium malate is C4H4MgO5.
Energy production: Malic acid is involved in the Krebs cycle, a key process for producing energy and stored in the form of ATP( Adenosine Triphosphate). Hence, Magnesium malate may help support energy production and reduce fatigue.
Muscle function and relaxation: Magnesium is essential for proper muscle function, including relaxation and contraction. Supplementation with magnesium malate may help maintain healthy muscle function and reduce muscle cramps or spasms.
Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness. Some studies have suggested that magnesium malate supplementation may help reduce pain and improve overall well-being in individuals with fibromyalgia.
Digestive health: Malic acid has been shown to support healthy digestion by promoting the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates. Magnesium malate may aid in digestion and contribute to a healthy digestive system.
Heart health: Magnesium plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy heart rhythm, blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular function. Supplementation with magnesium malate may support heart health and help prevent certain cardiovascular conditions.
Magnesium Malate is generally considered safe for most people when taken within the recommended dosage. However, some individuals may experience certain side effects, although they tend to be mild and uncommon. Here are some potential side effects associated with magnesium malate:
Digestive issues: In some cases, magnesium supplements can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. These side effects are more likely to occur when magnesium is taken in high doses or in individuals who are more sensitive to magnesium.
Allergic reactions: Although rare, some individuals may be allergic to magnesium malate or experience allergic reactions. Symptoms may include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
Interactions with medications: Magnesium supplements, including magnesium malate, can potentially interact with certain medications. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting magnesium malate if you are taking any medications, as they can provide guidance on potential interactions.
Electrolyte imbalance: Taking excessive amounts of magnesium, especially for prolonged periods, can disrupt the balance of other electrolytes in the body, such as calcium and potassium. This imbalance can have various effects on bodily functions and may require medical attention.
It’s important to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new dietary magnesium malate supplement. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual health status and help minimize the risk of potential side effects or interactions.
The best time to take Magnesium malate supplements can vary depending on individual preferences and specific health goals. Here are a few general guidelines to consider:
In general, a typical recommended daily dosage of Magnesium ranges from 200 to 400 milligrams (mg) for adults. However, it’s important to note that the specific amount of magnesium malate supplement may vary, and the dosage should be adjusted accordingly.
It’s also worth noting that Magnesium supplements are usually taken in divided doses throughout the day to help maintain a consistent level of magnesium in the body. Splitting the total daily dosage into two or three smaller doses can help enhance absorption and minimize the potential for digestive discomfort.
Magnesium malate occurs naturally in certain foods, although it is not as abundant as other forms of magnesium. Here are some food sources that contain natural magnesium malate: These are some Magnesium Rich Fruits.
magnesium malate and Magnesium glycinate are two popular Magnesium Supplements. Their Benefits and usage depend on Their Chemical Composition, Bioavailability. Please check the below Comparative Table.
When looking for magnesium malate supplements, it’s important to choose reputable brands and consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate dosage recommendations. It’s important to note that while magnesium malate may offer these potential benefits, individual experiences and responses may vary. If you’re considering magnesium malate supplementation, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and appropriate dosage recommendations.

La longue durée is an expression used by the Annales School of French historians to indicate an approach that gives priority to long-term historical structures over short-term events... The “arc” of capitalism, according to WSA, is about 600 years long, from 1500 to 2100. It is our particular (mis)fortune to be living through the beginning of the end, the disintegration of capitalism as a world system. It was mostly commercial capital in the sixteenth century, evolving into industrial capital in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and then moving on to financial capital—money created by money itself, and by speculation in currency—in the twentieth and twenty-first. In dialectical fashion, it will be the very success of the system that eventually does it in.
MOSCOW - On October 10, during the symposium over genetic modification, organized by the National Association for Genetic Security (NAGS), Doctor of Biology Irina Ermakova made public the results of the research led by her at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). This is the first research that determined clear dependence between eating genetically modified soy and the posterity of living creatures.
Mitt Romney, it turns out, is the perfect frontman for Wall Street's greed revolution. He's not a two-bit, shifty-eyed huckster like Lloyd Blankfein. He's not a sighing, eye-rolling, arrogant jerkwad like Jamie Dimon. But Mitt believes the same things those guys believe: He's been right with them on the front lines of the financialization revolution, a decades-long campaign in which the old, simple, let's-make-stuff-and-sell-it manufacturing economy was replaced with a new, highly complex, let's-take-stuff-and-trash-it financial economy. Instead of cars and airplanes, we built swaps, CDOs and other toxic financial products. Instead of building new companies from the ground up, we took out massive bank loans and used them to acquire existing firms, liquidating every asset in sight and leaving the target companies holding the note. The new borrow-and-conquer economy was morally sanctified by an almost religious faith in the grossly euphemistic concept of "creative destruction," and amounted to a total abdication of collective responsibility by America's rich, whose new thing was making assloads of money in ever-shorter campaigns of economic conquest, sending the proceeds offshore, and shrugging as the great towns and factories their parents and grandparents built were shuttered and boarded up, crushed by a true prairie fire of debt.

I f you read my fairly snide 50 States post snarking about North Dakota, you might think I will be equally dismissive about South Dakota. Nothing could be further from the truth. South Dakota has some literally monumental attractions, most famously that display of chutzpah carved under the impression that mountains are more spectacular when turned into sculptures of dead politicians.
In the defense of Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, they had to have been a bit right as otherwise why would thousands of people travel to the middle of nowhere to look at rocks. More pristine beauty can be found in the Badlands.
But South Dakota has lots and lots of interesting smaller attractions. The most bizarre is perhaps the Corn Palace which has to be seen to be believed.
And driving anywhere in South Dakota will expose you to billboards shilling for Wall Drugs. More than just a drugstore, Wall Drugs is a tourist emporium of epic scale. It seems to swallow the entire town of Wall.
Speaking of swallowing, one of Wall Drug's gimmicks is that it offers free water to anybody that wants some. And it's very good water.
Perhaps the most overlooked destination in South Dakota is the town of DeSmet. Its claim to fame is that it was the home on the prairie to Laura Ingalls Wilder during The Long Winter. They have replicas of cabins of that era and even a one-room schoolhouse.
In celebration, the town puts on a nightly pageant on a huge outdoor stage depicting those events.
So get to DeSmet and see all that South Dakota has to offer.

the dysregulated state of Canadian and Manitoba children, questioning the lay-off of 8.3 rehabilitation staff at the Society of Manitobans with Disabilities. This organization is the primary source of early support for families of children with a diagnosis of autism. This issue will focus on sleep.
Brainwaves is a monthly newsletter designed to create some “brainwaves” within my community of colleagues, friends and clients.
Getting some zzzz’s….facts about sleep…
Sleep is a period when our bodies are producing new bone, muscular and nervous tissue; a period when growth and repairs occur.
A complex group of hormones trigger sleep. These hormones respond to cues within our body, as well as in the environment.
According to the National Institutes of Health, a number of crucial tasks are carried out by the human body during sleep. Not getting enough sleep can be dangerous for both our physical and mental health.
We spend about one-third of our life asleep.
We need sleep for brain processing and memory consolidation.
Without sleep, we become impulsive, lack judgement and memory.
People who sleep 5 hours or less, often experience weight gain as their body releases chemicals that crave carbohydrates and sugars.
“Kids with irregular sleep were more likely to have lower scores on tests that measured their ability to problem solve, and higher rates of hyperactivity, emotional difficulties, and problems dealing with peers.”
o 1 to 4 months of age: 14 – 15 hours/day
o 4 to12 months of age: 14 – 15 hours/day

A good book by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka entitled “Sleepless in America: Is Your Child Misbehaving …or Missing Sleep”. 2007.
Sensory ways to increase sleep;
Light – Decrease exposure to light sources as the
evening proceeds, particularly in the last hour
before bedtime, and particularly “blue light” sources such as fluorescent lights, computer screens and TVs; try a very dim night light in a corner.
Visual – Remove over-stimulating objects/toys from the room; remove red items which trigger the brain into alarm.
Sound – Try to silence your home by putting felt under char legs, oiling door hinges; some people find a constant background noise helpful as it drowns out incidental sounds in the environment. An example can be the sound of a fan or the use of various computer applications that create “white/pink/brown noise” however these require a device such as an iPad® or iPhone® remain in the room. One such app is “simply noise”.
o Integrated Listening Systems Dreampad® uses intrasound technology and vibration to help the body fall asleep
o Music (particularly non-vocal) may work for some children but is highly individualized and, remember, the goal is calming, not awakening. Nature sounds may work but only if the child has pleasant memories of these nature sounds.
Touch/Temperature – Try comfortable feeling pajamas, sheets, and mattresses. Massage with lotion for skin that is too dry or rough. Some folks need heavy/weighted blankets and the “just right” temperature (cooler seem to be recommended). Some children like to “nest” amongst their stuffies.
Smell – Scents are highly individual but some say faint scents of essential oils of lavender or jasmine are helpful for sleep.
Taste – Avoid eating and drinking prior to bedtime; increase foods that contain tryptophan such as turkey and warm milk; try pleasantly flavored toothpaste such as strawberry; eat healthy in general.
Movement – At bedtime, gentle, slow movements such as stretching, rocking, yoga, MeMoves http://www.thinkingmoves.com/whatIsMeMoves.html. During the day, be sure the child has physical activity and exercise.
Routines – Creating a routine out of all the sensory needs…gradual calming, dimming, use of relaxing music, changing into comfy pajamas, slowing the pace, and snuggly time reading books together. Remember, it can take time to create these routines!

May 12, 2023 – In a recent tweet, Twitter announced the introduction of a new feature called “Secure Messages,” following Elon Musk’s tweet on May 9th. This exciting development brings direct message encryption to the platform, enhancing user privacy and communication security.
Initially, Twitter will roll out the Secure Messages feature to verified users (those with the blue tick) and selected users participating in the gray-scale testing phase. However, Twitter expressed its anticipation to expand access to a broader user base in the future. With the introduction of encrypted messaging, users will notice a toggle switch labeled “Encrypt” in the top-right corner of the screen when clicking on the message icon. By activating this mode, sent messages will be encrypted. Encrypted messages will be distinguished by a heart symbol with a “+” sign next to it, displayed alongside a balloon icon.
The implementation of the “Secure Messages” feature ensures that only the sender and recipient can access the content of the messages, preventing Twitter from viewing or intercepting any related information. Elon Musk has previously expressed his vision of transforming Twitter into a super app that encompasses various functionalities tailored to user needs. This recent addition of encrypted messaging aligns with Musk’s goal, as it enhances privacy and security on the platform, enabling users to engage in confidential conversations and communication on Twitter more securely.

At what may well turn out to be a very heated event, hundreds of cabin crew at the Dubai-based Emirates are set to demand improved working conditions at a so-called ‘Forum’ which will be held on Wednesday 30th January at the airline’s headquarters near Dubai International Airport (DXB). The event follows several similar events which were held last year when thousands of crew turned up on their days off to make their voices heard.
With queues stretching around the corridors of the company HQ and the main auditorium quickly filling up, many cabin crew were forced to rely on Facebook Live broadcasts filmed without the authority of company bosses to find out what was being said – and even more importantly, what executives had to say in response.
On this occasion, however, only a small number of invited crew members will be allowed to attend the event which will likely also be attended by the airline’s head of service delivery, Thomas Ney and Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ chief operations officer.
Top of the agenda is likely to be “exhausting” rosters that have seen many crew working over 11o flying hours every month – while perfectly legal in the UAE, such practices would be strictly limited across Europe and the United States. And with Dubai International Airport operating at near full capacity 24-hours a day, 7-days a week many other crew have noted that constant night flights only compound the problem and need to be addressed.
Others have raised significant concerns about the way pregnant cabin crew are treated by the company. At present, Emirates doesn’t guarantee ground-based work for pregnant crew or new mothers – instead, many are simply offered unpaid leave and that’s on top of already being forced to leave company provided accommodation.
The end result is that many pregnant cabin crew choose to leave the airline for fear that they would otherwise be unable to afford to live.
How many changes the airline is willing to make on the back of these concerns though remains to be seen. At an earlier forum, executives did listen to worries about changes to the company’s medical insurance scheme and implemented improvements to the benefit of cabin crew. On the other hand, sources tell us further unpopular changes have been made to the sick leave process that forces cabin crew to work when sick or accept being put on unauthorised absence without pay.
It’s no secret that Emirates cabin crew are some of the hardest working in the entire aviation industry – with the number of hours worked per month and the length of time the company expects crew to work without a break the stuff of legend. At the same time, Emirates also has some of the best-trained cabin crew in the industry and also offers attractive benefits including medical insurance and free insurance.
Working conditions, unfortunately, aren’t perfect at any airline but it’s good to see that Emirates is willing to listen to staff concerns and hopefully improvements will be coming soon.

For many millions of Americans who lost their jobs when the Great Recession struck, unemployment has not just been a typical, momentary bump in the road; it has been persistent, and grinding, and, for many, seemingly impossible to escape, despite their best efforts. Losing a job is bad enough, but the sort of long term unemployment afflicting America for the past several years has been a nightmare. Now, there seems to be the merest flicker of improvement.
The long-term unemployed-those out of work more than six months-made up 39.1% of all job seekers in December, according to the Labor Department, the first time that figure has dropped below 40% in more than three years.
The other relevant facts that may cause you to lose any tiny spark of joy that this news produced: there are still nearly five million Americans who have been unemployed more than six months. And the labor force participation rate has been plunging ever since the recession, indicating the fact that more and more people simply give up and stop looking for a job altogether, at which point they are no longer counted as "unemployed." (The WSJ says that the current drop in long term unemployment is largely a result of people actually getting jobs, not dropping out of the labor force.)

Barcode vs Magnetic Stripe: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to choosing the right ID cards for your business, there are typically two choices: cards with barcodes and cards with magnetic stripes. Both types of cards can store important information related to the user. A typical ID reader can access the personal details encoded in card’s strip, which may contain up to 60 characters. But which card is right for your company? This article is going to discuss a few key differences between barcodes and magnetic stripes to help you decide.
How Do They Work?
- Barcodes are a form of visual storage. Information is stored within a serieis of paralell lines of varying widths. A barcode scanner can decode these lines into a numerical code, which corresponds with a product or entry in the company’s database.
- Magnetic stripes contain a thin black stripe known as a magstripe. The magstripe contains very small magnetic particles held within a film. These tiny magnets are used to encode a unique serial number, which is read by a magnetic ID card reader.
When it comes to ease of use, barcodes seem to be the more popular choice in some settings. When it is necessary to scan many items or cards at once, it is less time-consuming to scan barcodes than it is to swipe cards with a magnetic stripes. Additionally, errors with optical mark reading are rare, whereas sometimes a magstripe card has to be swiped multiple times before it is read. Because of their speed and efficiency, barcodes are ubiquitous in the retail and logistics world. However, they possess several vulnerabilities when used in access control systems.
Security is often a major concern when it comes to ID cards. Between barcodes and magnetic stripes, barcodes are considered less secure because the special identification code can easily be seen on the card. With a barcode, it could be easy for someone to simply copy the barcode and print it on a new card to fool the ID scanner. On the other hand, a magstripe card is much more secure because the special identification code cannot be seen. Because it cannot be read without a magnetic ID card reader, it makes it more difficult for the information to be obtained. Only those with special magnetic ID card readers and printing equipment would be able to copy the card’s data.
If your company is trying to decide between barcodes and magnetic stripes, it’s important to consider how easily an ID card’s barcode can be damaged. Barcodes can be easily scratched or rubbed away, which can make it impossible for optical ID readers to work. On the other hand, magnetic cards are much more durable and can often be used for years at a time.
It’s clear that barcodes and magnetic stripes both have their advantages. However, for purposes of access control and identification, magnetic ID cards and compatible ID readers are usually the superior choice.

Immersion in Cuba’s Extraordinary Culture
- After breakfast, drive through Cuba’s scenic countryside to Las Terrazas, the pioneering eco-village that is nestled within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
- Take a nature hike with Fidel Hernandez, bird expert and curator of the reserve, and host to foreign presidents, poets, and all those who wish to enjoy Cuba’s flora and fauna. Discuss the reserve and local community, learning about their role in environmental preservation in the Caribbean.
- Enjoy lunch en el campo with farm-fresh ingredients. Dine at the oldest dedicated vegetarian restaurant in Cuba, and discuss how restaurants function in a rationed food economy with the founder of the restaurant.
- Visit the home and studio of a local artist who takes the recycled paper from the community and generates stationary, cards, and art.
- Enjoy some fresh, locally-grown coffee, or partake in some mountaintop yoga, taking in stunning views of the lush green valley and the Caribbean sea in the distance.

- Feel the thrill of a sunset cruise in an old classic American convertible—painstakingly restored and maintained—along the Revolution Square and around the old city and sea wall.

Chile’s Codelco, the world’s No. 1 copper producer, is closer to securing a long-awaited deal with Ecuador-controlled miner Enami EP, which will allow them to jointly develop a massive project located about 80 km northeast of the country’s capital, Quito.
The 982-million-tonne Llurimagua copper project, in the northern Imbabura Province, is in the advanced exploration stage and could become the first mine the Chilean giant operates abroad.
Construction should begin shortly after the board of Llurimagua Copper Company S.A., the 51%-49% joint venture between Codelco and Enami, approves the agreement that formalizes the entity.
That announcement, local paper El Mercurio reports, is expected to come this week. Codelco and Enami first signed a cooperation agreement about a decade ago, but the companies only began talking about Llurimagua in 2015.
According to Ecuador’s vice minister of mining Fernando Benalcázar, the project is one of the copper industry’s “crown jewels,” but its development has faced challenges, including intermittent resistance from nearby communities over environmental concerns.

For centuries, the 1% has used real estate as a wealth creation tool. They focus on investing in high quality, top tier commercial assets.

The team determines the best properties based on factors such as population growth, job growth, trends, new construction, market comps, and more
Investors look for a solid track record of past performance to indicate future performance. That’s why you can invest with confidence knowing Vertical Equity Group has a track record of double-digit returns.
Vertical Equity Group builds wealth by investing in cash-flowing apartment buildings, manufactured housing communities, and commercial property assets. It is a medium-term fund designed to give investors exposure to private multifamily real estate by offering high potential for appreciation. Our focus is on long-term capital appreciation from the renovation and repositioning of these multifamily properties.

The fund strategy for the Vertical Equity Group is a value-add investment strategy designed to accelerate growth over a 3-5-year cycle.
Investment target details
- Type: multifamily real estate
- Size: 20+ units
- Markets: Hillsborough County and surrounding areas
- IRR: targeting between 10% and 20% return rate for each property
- The value-add cycle is approximately 3-5 years.
5 Stages of the Value-Add Cycle
- The fund opens to begin collecting capital to purchase properties.
- Properties are acquired that meet the strict criteria of our real estate experts and that offer strong potential for increased value at the time of resale.
- As part of our value-add investing strategy, existing cash-flowing properties are acquired and then renovated to allow for increased rents and property value appreciation.
- Once the renovations are complete, we allow time for the properties to increase in value.
- Properties are sold and any profits are distributed to investors.
Build Your Million-Dollar Real Estate Holdings
Invest in million-dollar deals without writing million-dollar checks and avoid broker fees. You get to inspect every project in your portfolio and stay up to date on each project’s progress.

Last night, Charlotte City Council held a public hearing on the second draft of the Unified Development Ordinance, a set of regulations designed to set the groundwork for planned development in our community in alignment with the vision of the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan and other adopted city policies. Sustain Charlotte's urban design specialist, Eric Zaverl, addressed council members to support some aspects of the ordinance while asking for changes to others.
Sustain Charlotte's position on the UDO's second draft
Following are the comments Eric submitted during the public hearing.
Good evening Mayor, City Council members, and staff,
My name is Eric Zaverl, and I am sharing Sustain Charlotte's feedback on the current UDO draft.
Since 2017, I have served on the Ordinance Advisory Committee, working first on the updated Transit-Oriented Development Ordinance update and then on the UDO itself.
We have submitted over two dozen comments on the UDO since last year. Most of those comments dealt with supporting the heritage tree protections, reducing parking requirements, and general improvements to zoning using smart growth principles.
City staff attempted to incorporate some of our recommendations regarding parking into the second draft, but given the negative feedback and general hesitation from your work sessions, they never made it. We are disappointed to see Charlotte move backward by requiring more parking in this draft than we currently require in our most recent TOD ordinance adopted in 2019, especially around our transit stations. We know that reducing parking is crucial to how successful any city is at becoming more livable, a place designed for people, and without the crushing demand for cars everywhere—all that space devoted and wasted to driving and parking them.
If the parking regulations are improved, the UDO will be better positioned to help advance the goals in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Therefore, we urge you to support the changes to the parking regulations staff proposed for this draft; additionally, we ask you to keep protections for heritage trees, including safeguards to prevent loopholes and to restore some of the building design standards from the first draft.
I don't have time to cover the items we support in the latest draft, but our fellow members of the Neighbors for More Neighbors coalition are here tonight and will cover the items we support together:
- The inclusion of more housing types like duplexes/triplexes in Neighborhood 1 and the new affordable housing development allowances in section 16.4.
- We also support the increased building heights in Centers Districts and increasing the sidewall heights to have more flexibility for duplexes and triplexes.
- The added ability to use Tier 3 parking standards in any district except Neighborhood 1 within 1/2 mile of existing transit stations.
If our recommended changes to the parking regulations are incorporated in the final draft, we will support this ordinance and urge you to do the same.
Strong leadership is needed from you to tackle the necessary work to seriously move us beyond a car-dependent city.
The UDO has the potential to be much better than what we have today by replacing an outdated zoning code with a new framework — a framework that is based more on the building form and less on the use or density per acre, providing more building diversity, mix of uses within the building, and higher design standards throughout the city.
Perfect this document is not, but it is a step in the right direction toward achieving our climate, affordable housing, economic mobility, and equity goals.
Thank you for this opportunity, and we hope you continue to work with us on making Charlotte a more livable city for current and future generations.
Click here to watch a replay of the meeting, which includes an introduction to the UDO by Mayor Pro Tem Julie Eiselt, an overview of its creation by Interim Director of Planning Alyson Craig, and comments by other members of the public.
Here are some other comments from the public hearing on Charlotte's UDO
We're going to share a few comments made during the public hearing last night.
Steve Yaffe was thankful that the new UDO draft's definition of "pedestrian" included people with disabilities who require assistive devices. Yaffe also said: "I also appreciate the emphasis on affordable housing in sections 16.1 and 16.4, but let’s make a connection. Affordable housing should be accessible. Incorporating the principles of universal design into new construction, that’s not a significant added cost — certainly could be more than made up with reduced parking minimums."
Julie Porter, president of DreamKey Partners, was supportive of the plan, although she said the organization had some concerns over development costs that she hoped can be worked out in the future. A few key sentences from Porter's comments: "This plan removes the historical zoning regulations that so often have forced affordable housing out of high-opportunity areas. It replaces those zoning codes with meaningful and thoughtful development regulations that we believe will enable us to build in more locations by right. The UDO will also lead to more density and units of housing. Charlotte is desperately short of overall housing inventory, which has driven prices up and out of reach for many renters as well as first-time homebuyers who might qualify for (DreamKey’s House Charlotte program). There’s been speculation on whether this plan will help affordable housing development. One thing I would point out is that the zoning codes we have now have not stopped the development of high-end homes. Our current neighborhoods are gentrifying day by day, with a new house replacing an older one on just about every block of the northwest side of our city. To not have a plan means the same contentious rezonings for affordable rental housing and the same unequal outcomes."
Laura Belcher, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region, called the UDO comprehensive and inclusive and noted an affordable housing development allowance in the second draft that would help Habitat install amenities without driving up costs for Habitat homebuyers. “This begins to address equity in public places for these developments, allowing teachers, office workers, retail clerks, and other hardworking families an opportunity to purchase affordable housing that is attractive and safe for their communities," Belcher said.
Sam Smith Jr. with the Neighbors for More Neighbors Coalition asked council members to support the UDO. "The current zoning laws are outdated and would not keep up with the growth rate of Charlotte in the future. They do not conform to strategic growth mapping that will sustain Charlotte neighborhoods and equitable prosperity for families. And the status quo has given Charlotte hyper-segregation by race and income, unequally dolled out amenities and benefits for disinvested working-class families," Smith said.
Jasmine Wright and John Comer with the Redress Movement called on City Council members to remember Brooklyn, the once-thriving Black community in uptown Charlotte that was razed in the name of "urban renewal" and to not let history repeat itself. "The Redress Movement believes in multifamily housing," Comer said. "The Redress Movement believes in mixed-income housing because that allows more opportunity for people to thrive in this society. But I want to ask you to lean into this... The Brooklyn people, as well as the generations that followed behind them, are still reeling from their communities being bulldozed."
Jimmy Vasiliou with the Housing Justice Coalition and the Charlotte Community Benefits Coalition also called on City Council to avoid gentrification. "We ask that the city look for solutions that are driven by communities that want investment in their communities without displacement," Vasiliou said. "We ask that staff incorporate some of the work being formed in the Community Benefits Task Force within the UDO."
Phillip Gusman called the UDO the "correct step forward" for Charlotte. "It would give our city the tools to preserve, grow, and adapt like we’ve never had; simpler and clearer ways to help meet the needs of our community instead of relying on negotiating rezones that seldom bring the promised benefits to our community; the ability and tools needed in order for communities to organize, and participate in the development surrounding them; more trees protected and replaced; more protections for these communities that can’t or haven’t been able to organize in the past; and most importantly, the encouragement of more diversity of housing that can lead to more diverse communities and neighbors who can stay in our city instead of having to move to meet their housing needs.
What's next for Charlotte's UDO
Following last night's public forum, on July 14, city staff will issue a summary of recommended changes to the UDO for the planning committee of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission's consideration and for public view. These changes will be redlined and are based on feedback received since the second draft was released, including public comments at last night's meeting.
The planning committee is scheduled to make a recommendation on the UDO at its meeting on July 19.
A third draft of the UDO, called the adoption draft, will be released on August 15.
City staff will request adoption of the UDO, proposed ordinance, and repeal of parts of the city code at City Council's August 22 meeting.

I just returned to the office after, along with a number of other observers, having to leave the House of Commons Committee on the Environment meeting which went ‘in camera.’
Along with considering other committee matters, this means that the decision on whether to support the NDP’s motion to fast-track the Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill C311) returning the bill to the House of Commons for vote before October 22, will be made without members of the public present.
The negotiations in Copenhagen which seek to finalize a new climate change agreement are only 61 days away.
A vote in favour of the Climate Change Accountability Act before these negotiations is an important. Bill C311 would commit our country to emission reduction targets of 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
As it stands, the federal government plans for a 20% reduction of emissions below 2006 levels by 2020 which amounts to a 3% reduction below 1990 levels.
This position is at odds with what science says is necessary to address the climate crisis.
The UN Climate Panel said in a 2007 report that by 2020 cuts of between 25-40% would be required by and within industrialized countries to avoid the worst effects of climate change. More recently, science indicates even deeper reductions are needed.
Further, Global North countries must agree to stronger commitments to reduce emissions and support international climate mitigation and adaption measures. Global North countries are responsible for generating most of the emissions to date, emit more per capita than Global South countries and have more resources to address the climate crisis.
While deeper emissions reductions are ultimately needed, passage of the Climate Change Accountability Act is an important first step in addressing Canada’s poor record on climate action.

MOSCOW, December 13 (Itar-Tass) — Russian Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky believes the results of the election to the State Duma lower house of parliament on December 4 were unfair, and believes a new election must take place.
Speaking at a party congress which nominates him for presidency, Zhirinovsky reminded the audience that in accordance with the law, the newly elected Duma cannot be dissolved within one year. “In March 2013 I will insist on a new election,” he stated.
Zhirinovsky says that as a result of numerous violations, the LDPR received less mandates than it had to. It must have not 56 mandates, but 91 or even 100, he said. He is confident that at an early election his party would get 100 mandates, the Communist Party (CPRF) – 130, the United Russia – 150, while the rest would “go to some satellites”.
However, the situation now is difficult “and changes drastically,” he added. “I am not yet confident that there will be March 4,” he said referring to the presidential election scheduled for March 4. “They may now change something for March,” he said.
A congress of the Liberal Democratic Party has nominated Vladimir Zhirinovsky for presidency. Zhirinovsky’s candidacy was supported by 169 participants in the congress, and nine voted against.
“One of these nine votes is mine,” Zhirinovsky said. “God forbid when it is unanimously,” he said, expressing satisfaction with the results of the voting.
In the future “there must be 50 plus one vote,” he urged the public, because “one must never believe everything that is over 40 percent”.
Zhirinovsky ran in all presidential election with the exception of the 2004 presidential campaign, when he replaced his candidacy with “a technical” candidate for tactical reasons. He got 7.81 percent of the vote in the presidential election of 1991, 5.7 percent in 1996, 2.7 percent in 2000, and came third with 9.35 percent of the vote in the previous presidential election of 2008.


Today Coventry closed the ring road for cyclists—they should do it more often! We, and probably thousands more, took part in Sky Ride on a beautiful hot summer day. We cycled up from home, riding the Harry Hall and our newly restored 1974 Raleigh Mark II Chopper. It was the first extended outing for the Chopper after a re-spray, re-chroming and various mechanical touch-ups. Nevertheless, it’s essentially the original bike: original banana saddle, gear shift (and super delicate gear shift cover plate), as well as the major parts that more easily survive 40+ years such as frame, fork, wheels and handlebars.
All that beauty and style comes at a cost. The Chopper is made of steel, lots of it. It tips the scale at 40 pounds (18 kg), and the low seat and hi-rise handle bars make it a difficult ride. It’s best ridden by its original target customers, kids under 15!
We rode up and began the circuit. The ride organisers had built in several walk-and-waits on the route, including a tour of Fargo Village, a shopping area off Far Gosford Street that looked genuinely interesting, just not at that moment. We had to dismount and walk our bikes through the area. When we were able to ride, we had to dodge children riding with stabilisers as well as the many people who hadn’t ridden before in such a large crowd. Luckily, it was a mellow group and everyone took care for others. We returned up Gosford Street and turned off for a wait to go through the corridor that accesses Coventry University’s Library, open access computer stations and the Centre for Academic Writing. This was rather too much like work, and again, everyone had to dismount and push their bikes. We got back on and across the newly developed forecourt of the Library and back up the street which we’d just come down.
Finally we turned toward the ring road and the ride opened up. Two wide lanes meant there was space for people who needed to weave and wobble, without risking the lives of other riders, and we got a lovely panorama of the city. On the second circuit we figured out how to bypass the walky bits and just loop the ring road. That made it much better and much more fun.
Kyla and I did two circuits each on the Chopper and two on the Harry Hall, four in total. We stopped at The Earl of Mercia for a well-earned drink in the middle. With the ride around the ring road and the back and forth to our home we clocked up about 18 miles. Not bad for a hot Sunday in August!

A U.S. firm, California-based, Better Place, is building electric car chargers, in Jerusalem of all places and has installed a network in Tel Aviv.
By 2011, roughly 100 charging stations will be found on the streets of Jerusalem. In the same year Israel plans to have electric cars available for mass consumption. Twenty of the stations are already in place.
Better Place, CEO, Shai Agassi calls Israel, “a leader in the road to sustainable mobility.”
In a recent statement, a Better Place spokesperson said that:
Electric car batteries used in Israel will have a range of 160-200 km (100-125 miles), sufficient to cover the distances among most of the small country’s main urban centers. They would take 3-4 hours to charge.
Better Place, is a brand new $200-million venture-backed company. They plan to add electric car charging stations in Denmark after the project in Israel; and is working with Renault and Nissan, to develop electric car infrastructure.
According to Reuters:
The firm has also announced partnerships with Australia, California and Hawaii, worth about $2 billion in total, to expand its network in the coming years as markets search for alternatives to cut carbon emissions and pricey fuel imports.

Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, says the Government is working to ensure that Jamaica hosts more international track and field and other sporting events.
Addressing the unveiling ceremony for the statue of Olympian, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, at Statue Park, National Stadium, in Kingston, on October 14, the Prime Minister acknowledged that Jamaica has missed out on hosting some events, such as the World Sprint Championships and football matches, and assured that the Government is working to develop the infrastructure to take full advantage of future opportunities.
“The Government has already started the process under the banner of Jamaica 55 Legacy Projects to improve the National Stadium Complex, the Trelawny (Multipurpose) Stadium, Chedwin Park Sporting Complex in St. Catherine, Drax Hall in St. Ann and the Herb McKenley Stadium in Clarendon. All of these will see significant improvements,” he said.
Mr. Holness reiterated plans for the National Stadium Complex and the Trelawny Multipurpose Stadium to be part of developments for sports tourism, which is worth an estimated US$8 billion globally.
Meanwhile, in his tribute to Mrs. Fraser Pryce, affectionately known as the ‘Pocket Rocket’, the Prime Minister said based on her stellar performance in track and field, she “reserves and deserves a place in the annals of track and field.”
“Shelly has achieved so much winning a total of six Olympic medals, including two gold medals and nine world championship medals, including an impressive seven gold medals. She truly epitomises the Jamaican term ‘likkle but tallawah’,” he said.
Mr. Holness noted that the achievement of world class athletes, like Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, creative artistes, world renowned scholars and scientists “is primarily what accounts for Brand Jamaica.”
The Prime Minister informed that next year, statues of other Olympians, such as Veronica Campbell-Brown and Asafa Powell will be added to the National Stadium’s Statue Park.
In her remarks, Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Minister, Hon. Olivia Grange, said the unveiling of Mrs. Fraser Pryce’s statue is being done to coincide with National Heritage Week, which runs from October 8 to 15 and is “in honour of (Jamaica’s) glorious heritage in sports.”
Ms. Grange said Mrs. Fraser Pryce brings to focus, “what has been achieved in national output by women of substance and women who are never daunted by circumstances of their beginnings, but understand that through faith in God and self, they could outdo themselves and shine.”
“Shelly Ann’s story is one of the many narratives of the Jamaican woman, who remains steadfast in the belief in her inherent abilities, daring to step out and rise above the fray, both here and abroad,” the Minister said.
Ms. Grange applauded Mrs. Fraser Pryce for becoming a “model for girls and young women across Jamaica” and hailed Sculptor, Basil Watson, for his work in capturing one of Shelly’s moments.
Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) President, Dr. Warren Blake, said the tribute to Mrs. Fraser Pryce and the ones for athletes to come are fitting, as they have been immortalised for others to see.
In her response, Mrs. Fraser Pryce expressed gratitude to the Government for hosting the event and unveiling the statue in her honour.
Several other Government Ministers and dignitaries were in attendance as well as the family, friends and well-wishers of Mrs. Fraser Pryce.

Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, his longest-serving senior aide, Stephen Miller, fought intensely to bring America’s immigration system to a halt. Miller pushed for and crafted policies that separated migrant families (many of which are yet to be reunited), reduced refugee admissions to levels not seen in many years, and forced people to seek asylum in other countries instead of in the United States. With Trump’s departure, and Biden’s incoming administration’s rhetoric on migration, advocates were hopeful that the Miller era had ended. Last week, though, the Biden administration proposed new rules for asylum-seekers that would have fulfilled some of Miller’s wildest dreams.
The proposed asylum rule is quite complicated. In short, the rule requires adults who want to claim asylum to use a glitchy CBP One app to secure an appointment and to request (and be denied) asylum in an intermediate country before they arrive at a port of entry in the United States. These requirements place asylum-seekers in the unenviable position of either waiting for their appointments in the country they are fleeing, or, most likely, waiting in Mexico, a country that has been unable to protect migrants who have been stuck there waiting to cross to the United States while the Trump-era Title 42 policy has remained in place.
It’s only fair to note that the proposed rule allows exceptions for certain people who enter between ports of entry or who don’t use the CBP One app to claim asylum. However, in practice, it is unlikely that most asylum-seekers would qualify for these.
The Biden administration claims two things. First, that the proposed rule should be read in the context that DHS has established a program to accept 30,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants a month as parolees, as long as they have a U.S.-based sponsor. Moreover, that the new rule is meant to be temporary (24 months) to alleviate the increased demand for asylum they anticipate as a result of Title 42—a measure which has kept the border closed to most asylum-seekers since 2021—ending in May.
While the recent parole program is good, it is also insufficient. First, not all asylum-seekers are from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela. In fact, most are not. Second, not even all citizens of those countries are eligible for the sponsorship program because they don’t all have sponsors, or the sponsors they do have might not qualify because they lack the financial resources to support them. So, it is not the case that the parole program would serve as an adequate replacement for asylum-seekers, even for citizens of those countries. Moreover, it is unlikely that DHS has the capacity to issue 30,000 paroles a month. It took great effort for the agency to issue 85,000 such paroles over the last year to Ukrainian refugees who weren’t facing the same backlash as migrants in the new parole program. Finally, the program is being challenged in court by a coalition of GOP-led states. It is an open question whether it will withstand the challenge.
More important than those practical objections is that the notion that a targeted and specific parole program can replace asylum is inimical to the very idea of asylum. As many Democrats and human rights organizations have articulated since the proposed asylum rule was published in the Federal Register, under U.S. and international law people have a fundamental right to seek asylum. This means that the government must do everything in its power to ensure people can seek asylum’s protection. No ifs, ands, or buts.
However, through this proposed rule, the Biden administration has shown that they do not believe asylum access to be a human right. Rather, the government is putting asylum access on a balance with state capacity and, arguably, politics. By extension, this analysis of asylum allows for the return of Stephen Miller’s policies. Most notably, this new proposal is virtually indistinguishable from a transit ban Miller proposed during his tenure at the White House, which at one point was considered a red line for even the hardline Trump administration.
This leads to the administration’s second claim about the temporary nature of the rule. Even if this rule were to be enacted for only two years, it would still mean avoidable death and suffering during that time. Moreover, 24 months is long enough to establish a new normal that will then become permanent. Title 42 is instructive. Before that rule was implemented, the idea of closing the border to asylum-seekers was unthinkable. Now, lifting the rule is treated with derision and fear by Republicans and Democrats alike. For the purposes of that debate, it has become irrelevant that lifting Title 42 is simply returning the U.S. to border policy as it existed under Trump. In fact, the opposition to the lifting of Title 42 helps explain at least some of the motivation behind the proposed new asylum rule.
It is hard to envision the rule sunsetting. Even assuming there is a future Democratic administration, extinguishing the rule will be painted and understood as unreasonable policy. As Milton Friedman admonished: “Nothing is as permanent as a temporary government program.”
The new asylum proposal is not to be framed as realpolitik, as some have done. It is a dangerous policy that, if implemented, will create an even more dangerous precedent. If a Democratic administration can comfortably and single-handedly end asylum at the border, what will Miller or his acolytes do if they regain control of government?

Military Recruiting in the United States
Military Recruiting in the United States provides a fearless and penetrating description of the deceptive practices of the U.S. military as it recruits American youth into the armed forces. Long-time antiwar activist Pat Elder exposes the underworld of American military recruiting in this explosive and consequential book. The book describes how recruiters manage to convince youth to enlist. It details a sophisticated psy-ops campaign directed at children. Elder describes how the military encourages first-person shooter games and places firearms into the hands of thousands using the schools, its JROTC programs, and the Civilian Marksmanship Program to inculcate youth with a reverence for guns. Previously unpublished investigative work reveals how indoor shooting ranges in schools are threatening the health of children and school staff through exposure to lead particulate matter. The book provides a kind of “what’s coming next manual” for European peacemakers as they also confront a rising tide of militarism. The book examines the disturbing, nurturing role of the Catholic Church in recruiting youth. It surveys the wholesale military censorship of Hollywood films, pervasive military testing in the high schools, and an explosion of military programs directed toward youth.

Press Release: Tuesday 21 November 2017
Derby Museums, in collaboration with the Stories of Change project, is launching a pair of exhibitions challenging our understanding of the energy stories in everyday objects. Spread across the top two floors of Derby’s finest Georgian townhouse, Pickford’s House, these exhibitions will showcase objects never before seen and delve into their history, production and conservation.
‘Energetic’ is the culmination of an ambitious research project led by the Open University in partnership with the Universities of Bath, Birmingham, Exeter, Sheffield and South Wales. It is designed to stimulate lively conversations about energy by looking in a fresh way at its past, present and future. Drawing on stunning photography alongside thought-provoking art and music, this project encourages the use of storytelling, rather than scientific data, to confront our collective energy and climate change challenges.
Dr Renata Tyszczuk, who leads the project said:
“It is easy to forget that the story of humanity’s relationship with energy over the last two hundred and fifty years is one of constant change: some incremental and some dramatic. The Derbyshire region, the hearthplace of the industrial revolution, is a powerful place to explore these themes, and hence the Future Works strand of the Stories of Change project has worked with themes of industry and energy in the past, present and future, throughout the Derwent Valley. Today climate change and air pollution are prompting a new chapter in humanity’s energy story. So this is a good time to remember that one thing about stories is that you can always change the ending.”
The second exhibition, ‘Pictures of Power’, will draw on Derby Museums’ collections to consider the energy stories hidden inside everyday objects and actions. Looking at objects made of different materials from around the world, we’ll explore the way things are made, who makes them and the cost to the planet of their production and use. From Royal umbrellas to radium spectacles, ‘Pictures of Power’ will use incredible objects to tell these stories.
Daniel Martin, Curator of Making for Derby Museums said:
“There is a hidden cost to every object in the museum’s collection, and the continued storage and conservation of our objects can be an energy-intensive process. Derby Museums are being very brave in confronting these costs to see what the environmental impact is of running a museum. The materials in a single object can come from all over the world, with so many processes required to make them useful. This exhibition takes a really fresh approach to thinking about what goes into making objects from our fantastic collections.”
The exhibitions open to the public on Saturday 9 December 2017 and run until Saturday 10 February 2018 at Pickford’s House, Friar Gate, Derby. Derby Museums will ask visitors to ‘Give What You Think’, as a donation, when visiting this exhibition.
For more information, please contact Emma Hallam email@example.com / 01332 641925.
Notes to Editors
Founded in 2012, Derby Museums Trust is an independent charitable trust which is responsible for the rich cultural and creative history of Derby. It manages three sites across the city, the Museum and Art Gallery, Pickford’s House and The Silk Mill, and holds and curates all the art and collections within them, including the world’s largest collection of paintings by Joseph Wright of Derby.
The Trust’s aim is to bring as many of the objects and treasures in the collections into the public domain as is practically possible and present them in ways that delight and inspire, via education and learning programmes, events and exhibitions, in order to share knowledge and inspire creativity and making amongst the people of Derby. As a charitable trust, Derby Museums relies on funding and grants from organisations and donations from businesses and the general public, all of which is gratefully received in order to ensure that admission to the museums remains free for all.
The Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill
Derby Museums has secured major grant funding of £9.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £2.5m from Arts Council England, £4m from Derby City Council via the Local Growth Fund, and support from a range of charitable trusts and foundations for the £16.4m development to create the Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill. The project will open up the whole of the Silk Mill, creating beautiful spaces to inspire our visitors and will provide access to 100% of Derby Museums’ collections of Making and Social History. The new museum will have our communities at its heart and be uniquely co-produced with the people of Derby over the next few years and is due to open in 2020.
Arts Council England
Derby Museums has been funded by Arts Council England since 2012 to deliver improved museum facilities and services in Derby. From April 2018 Derby Museums will become an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.

I’m Daniela, and I am a 20 year old media and communications student from Melbourne.
Writing has always been a passion of mine, and so has fashion, and to blend the two together was probably one of the best ideas i’ve had.
I decided that, as I sit here ranting and subtly imposing my opinions on you, I should explain a bit about who I am, and what brings me to my sentiments.
I love culture; I’m an Australian born Italian, and these two cultures heavily influence my style.
My Mum inspired my interest in fashion. For someone who is still trying to follow her dreams, she has taught me to follow mine. She introduced me to everything I know about fashion and style, and although I have continued to grow my knowledge on my own accord, I don’t think fashion would have captured my interest without her.
Finally, I become easily obsessed with things. Whether I love or hate something, my opinion stays on my mind and to be honest, I think it would be a shame not to share.
I hope that you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it!
Have any other questions? Feel free to contact me here
