Girl of the Night (DVD Review)24 Jan, 2011 By: Mike Clark
Available via WBshop.com’s Warner Archive
Stars Anne Francis, Lloyd Nolan, John Kerr, Kay Medford.
Anne Francis died Jan. 2 at age 80, and it rated a lot more than a blip in the memory banks of my friends (or at least red-blooded male friends), judging from the commiserating notes I got and Facebook postings I saw. This is what Forbidden Planet did to its initial generation.
That sci-fi staple came out in 1956, which means Francis and her futuristic mini-dress really hit formative boomers where they lived — a full decade before the leggy 5-foot-8 actress also starred in the “Honey West” TV series of the mid-1960s. These are Francis’s two hallmark roles, but after seeing this almost never revived melodrama of prostitution — a very adult movie of its Hollywood day — one can make an argument that the list could be expanded.
Clinical and not too sensationalistic beyond the obligatory trace of bongos in its scoring, Night was adapted from a landmark psychoanalytical book called The Call Girl by Dr. Harold Greenwald. The movie boils it down to a single story, one about a pretty young New Yorker who has the goods to sell herself as somebody’s classy blind date — but is instead working through an agency (and her pimp boyfriend) doing what the movie’s title portends. We first see her in a distraught state all but crawling back to her apartment after a disastrous evening, and we later learn why. Her back is packed with welts from a client’s caning — decidedly not the kind of thing audiences were used to seeing on screen in 1960, particularly from a film carrying a major studio logo.
Located conveniently in her building is a friendly psychologist (Lloyd Nolan), who soon forges a professional relationship that enables her to relate her story. The boyfriend (John Kerr) works nightclubs instead of the streets but is strictly living on the fringe without much cash flow — a kind of pimp equivalent of Tony Curtis’s Sidney Falco character in Sweet Smell of Success (who was actually a pimp of another kind). Kerr talks of marrying her, but like all pimps, depends on her in lieu of working. Through the agency’s madam (Kay Medford, eight years before her Funny Girl Oscar nomination), he’s trying to land a higher brand of clientele.
A movie of its day like this (and there weren’t many) risks becoming a case study filmed in cold semi-documentary fashion, and at times, this one veers in that direction. It is not fringe cinema that truly excites in the manner of Sam Fuller’s 1964 hooker potboiler The Naked Kiss does (coincidentally, just out in a new Criterion Blu-ray). But Girl gets more interesting as it goes due to the power of Francis’s performance (atop having perfect looks for the role) and some interesting supporting casting. Soon-to-be "As the World Turns" star Eileen Fulton, who became a flashier looker not far down the road, plays a young working-girl colleague and judge’s daughter who isn’t cut out for the profession. James Broderick (Matthew’s father and the future “Family” star)) is an art school instructor who can’t get very far after Francis makes her first stab at bolting her way of life. And, of course, there’s nothing very kneejerk about Kerr’s casting, given his star-making stage/screen performance in Tea and Sympathy, where he needed an older woman’s training wheels when it came to sex.
In addition to being an unusual project from the get-go by anyone’s 1960 standards, Girl was especially so in the case of director Joseph Cates (actress Phoebe’s real-life father). His work was mostly in television, including “Buck Rogers,” “The $64,000 Question” and the greatest Johnny Cash Christmas Special ever: the 1977 one where Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis played tribute to the recently deceased Elvis. But Cates also had his name on a couple big-screen trash classics that are more flamboyant than anything here: the lurid Who Killed Teddy Bear (“signature” Sal Mineo) and the you-takes-what-you-get-ish The Fat Spy, which boasts one of the more singular casts of the ‘60s: Phyllis Diller, Jayne Mansfield, insult comic Jack E. Leonard, deep-in-career-twilight Brian Donlevy and dippy Cadence recording artist Johnny Tlllotson ("It Keep Right On a-Hurtin’").
In this case, Cates’ work is restrained — probably too much so for some tastes — and the fact that the movie has an honest but ambiguous wrap-up probably sealed the deal for its commercial fallibility. If memory serves, Night was one of those pictures (like Elmer Gantry and Splendor in the Grass) where you had to be 16 to see it, even though the current MPAA ratings system wouldn’t go into effect for eight more years. If not for Francis, it would be just a respectable curiosity, but she makes it a little more than that.

With so many mixed views about the Resident Evil franchise after the release of RE 5, today came as a day when everyone seems to be agreeing on how good the new instalment, or rather a revamped version of super popular RE 2 looks.
What do we know about it?
A public statement for the game affirms a move to a third-person point of view and gloats about new visual impacts. Occupant Evil 2’s revamped highlights “another photorealistic style” that makes “the characters themselves seem more honed than any time in recent memory and the unusual crowds of zombies are enlivened with a horrifyingly reasonable wet gut impact. Zombies presently respond continuously as they take in a split second obvious harm, making each shot from the player tally. Dazzling lighting brings the recognizable rooms and halls of Raccoon City Police Department to new life.”
Close by the short trailer, Capcom affirmed a discharge date of January 25, 2019, and the way that it’s just titled Resident Evil 2. Pre-orders are accessible now, and in spite of the fact that the diversion appeared amid Sony’s occasion, it’s additionally as yet coming to PC and Xbox One.

Today's project was inspired by a mom/friend in my local mother's group who recently found out she has breast cancer. I have been a mix of emotions. She is in her early 30's. I can't imagine what she is going through as I sit here unable to absorb it myself. Our mother's group is fantastic, supportive, dependable, inspirational. This woman is having surgery on Monday. I wanted to make her a little something, a goody bag of sorts to at least let her know I'm thinking and praying for her. Along with baked goods and freezer meals I came up with this little gift.
My sister made each of us this sugar scrub for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. I made it for all of the kids teachers for Valentine's Day. I cannot say enough good things about this recipe! I found it HERE. And I could not believe how well the Peachy Keen Skunk Cheer Up Set went with the 'theme' of the gift!
I made the tag by just cutting a piece of chipboard and rounding the edges with the Creative Memories Oval cutting system. Then I matted it with paper from Heidi Grace Designs. The skunk, sentiment and flowers are all from Peachy Keen's Skunk Cheer Up Set. I stamped the skunk on printed paper and colored parts of it with Copic markers. I used the Recollections border punch and used a pearl pen by Viva Decor to accent it a bit.
I'd like to enter my project in the following challenges.

Although steel had been produced in bloomery furnaces for thousands of years, steel's use expanded extensively after more efficient production methods were devised in the 17th century for blister steel and then crucible steel. With the invention of the Bessemer process in the mid-19th century, a new era of mass-produced steel began.
Overview of Heavy Metal Tungsten Alloy (ASTM B 777) Heavy metal alloys are pseudo-alloys of tungsten with a nickel-iron or nickel-copper matrix. They are produced by powder metal and sintering processes. Tungsten Heavy Alloys has a high density of 17-19 g/cm³. Comparable densities are only reached by gold or platinum.
In its pure form, molybdenum is a silvery-grey metal with a Mohs hardness of 5.5 and a standard atomic weight of 95.95 g/mol. It has a melting point of 2,623 °C (4,753 °F); of the naturally occurring elements, only tantalum, osmium, rhenium, tungsten, and carbon have higher melting points.
Increasing the amount of silicon alloy in the material decreases the amount of core material used but above a certain silicon composition ( about 4-5wt.%), the alloy becomes too brittle to roll.  Alnico is a hard magnetic material composed of varying amounts of aluminum, nickel, iron, cobalt and other minor constituent materials.

1.3 Effect of alloying elements. Nickel has a significant effect on the physical and mechanical properties of Cu-Ni alloys (see 2.). While tensile strength, 0.2% proof strength, hot strength, solidus and liquidus temperature and corrosion resistance increase with nickel content, thermal and electrical conductivity decrease.
Tungsten Alloys. Eagle Alloys Corporation can offer a wide variety of High Density Machinable Tungsten Alloy sizes and compositions for immediate shipping or we can supply custom grades, shapes and finished parts with a short lead time. Eagle Alloys can supply alloys ranging from 90% to 97% Tungsten and contain nickel, copper and or iron
2014415Metals in prosthodontics/dental crown &bridge course by Indian dental academy 1. Introduction : Metals form a large part of the earth on which we live, nearly 80% of the known elements are metals, in the earths crust, most of the metallic elements occur in compounds and not in the metallic state.
CR1312 Chromium Metal Pellets (Cr Pellets) TS1921 Pure Titanium and Titanium-based Alloy Thermal Spray Powder (Ti & Ti-based Alloy Powder) TS1919 Cobalt-based Alloy Thermal Spray powder (Co-Cr-Mo-Si) BM1289 Boron Crystalline Granules / Pieces (B) TS1350 Tungsten Carbide/Cobalt Powder (WC/Co Powder)
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, and sometimes other elements. Because of its high tensile strength and low cost, it is a major component used in buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, trains, automobiles, machines, appliances, and weapons. Iron is the base metal of steel.
Platinum is used as an alloying agent for various metal products, including fine wires, noncorrosive laboratory containers, medical instruments, dental prostheses, electrical contacts, and thermocouples. Platinum-cobalt, an alloy of roughly three parts platinum and one part cobalt, is used to make relatively strong permanent magnets.
Metal production sites in Sri Lanka employed wind furnaces driven by the monsoon winds, capable of producing high-carbon steel. Large-scale Wootz steel production in Tamilakam using crucibles and carbon sources such as the plant Avāram occurred by the sixth century BC, the pioneering precursor to modern steel production and metallurgy.
201487In another embodiment, the metallic powder includes a plurality of metal particles made by one metal material selected from copper, iron, nickel, zinc, titanium, cobalt, chromium, and manganese or a metal alloy of two or more of them, and at least 5% or more partially coated by a thickness of silver layer in a range of 1˜2000 nm.
20181210Sintering involves heating the metal powder (within a mold) for a long period of time. Under heat, the powder particles begin to bond, forming a solid piece. Sintering can bond metals at temperatures lower than their melting point, a significant advantage when working with the refractory metals.

What we do
Dog Kennel Removal & Disposal
Cheap Dog Kennel Removal
We can remove the majority of items around the home or office. Dog kennels included! We can demolish the largest dog kennels so that we can easily take them away. Typically a dog kennel alone is equal to around 0.5 cubic yards – that’s for a medium sized one. It also depends on the dog the kennel is meant to house.
Dog Kennel Recycling
Dog kennels, like most rubbish we collect, can be fully recycled. If you want to get rid of a dog kennel because of the lack of the resident animal or due to a house removal we will do our best to re-sue it. High quality items are re-used at all times. In addition to dog kennels, we can also remove other items such as hamster cages, rabbit hutches and all houdehold rubbish.

One Doctor’s Perspective on Preventative Mastectomies
Angelina Jolie shocked the celebrity gossip sphere this morning with a New York Times op-ed detailing the decision behind her February double mastectomy, a procedure she had done preemptively after discovering that she carries a gene, BRCA1, that predisposes women to breast cancer. In the piece, Jolie describes the pain of losing her mother to breast cancer, who died at age 56, and the desire to never put her children through the same thing.
Jolie explains in the article that her doctors estimated that she had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, leading her to take early action. She writes:
“Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.”
With this news, Jolie joins celebrities like Christina Applegate and Sharon Osbourne in taking preventative action against breast cancer, a decision that is becoming increasingly common. In her Times essay, Jolie encourages other women with similar cancer risks to also have the procedure, writing:
“I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options.
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.”
And while bringing attention to cancer awareness is always a good thing, Dr. Samuel J. Lin, a plastic surgeon at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, cautions that, though mastectomies are relatively low-risk operations and there are several options for reconstruction, the decision to have the procedure is one that requires lots of thought and an individual conversation with doctors. “This is a discussion between the patient, the patient’s family, their treating physician, and also their OB-GYN,” Lin says. “There’s also geneticists involved. This is obviously a very big decision. It’s not taken lightly, and it takes time to come to that conclusion.”
Further, Lin says that though genes like BRCA1 do greatly increase the risk of cancer, the majority of women do not need the kind of genetic testing that Jolie had. “I would say most people do not need testing, just a certain percentage that have a strong family history of these cancers,” he says. “People don’t wake up all of a sudden and realize, ‘Gee, I should get tested.'”
That said, Lin, who praised Jolie’s bravery and decision to speak publicly about her procedure, says that the decision ultimately comes down to the patient. “The percentages are what they are, and you could be that one percent or you could be that 99 percent,” he says. “It’s all in what you think is the right thing to do, and/or counseling from your treating physician. That’s really the bottom line.”

ST. LOUIS — One more win and another bunch of wild-card Cardinals get their chance to repeat.
Adam Wainwright threw seven innings of four-hit ball, and St. Louis roughed up Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants in an 8-3 rout Thursday night that gave the Cardinals a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series.
The defending World Series champions can wrap up their second straight pennant as a wild card with a victory at home tonight in Game 5. Lance Lynn faces Giants lefty Barry Zito, and a Cardinals win would set up a 2006 World Series rematch with Detroit.
“We've got to close them out tomorrow,” Wainwright said.
Matt Holliday, Jon Jay and Yadier Molina had two RBIs apiece to lead a 12-hit outburst by a team that batted .198 through the first three games against San Francisco.
“They had their backs against the wall against the Reds and won three in a row, so we've still got our work cut out for us, and this series is by no means over,” Holliday said.
Lincecum was a bust in his first postseason start since the World Series clincher over Texas in 2010, giving up four runs in 42/3 innings.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner with the quirky delivery earned a shot based on nearly spotless relief work earlier in the postseason but reverted to regular-season form, when he was 10-15 with a 5.18 ERA, worst among qualifying starters in the National League.
“He gave us all he had out there,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Wainwright bounced back from a poor outing in Game 5 of the NL division series against Washington, striking out five and walking none for his first postseason victory as a starter. The lone damage against him came on Hunter Pence's first homer and RBI of the postseason, a second-inning clout estimated at 451 feet that soared over the visitor's bullpen into the left-center bleachers to cut the Cardinals' lead to 2-1.
Now, the 14-game winner is on the verge of his first World Series as an active player since striking out Brandon Inge as the stand-in closer for injured Jason Isringhausen in the 2006 clincher over the Tigers.
Only 12 pitches in, the Cardinals had two hits and the lead, and Lincecum got a visit from pitching coach Dave Righetti.
Jay opened the first with a single, Matt Carpenter walked on four pitches and Holliday singled up the middle for the lead. Allen Craig tacked on a sacrifice fly.

Accuracy is how close is the measurement to the true value. It is more easily quantified by percentage error where:
It can also be related to the percentage error of the full measuring range:
= ( indicated value true value ) / Maximum scale value x 100%
Therefore, if a thermometer is defined as having an accuracy of ±2.5% with a range of 0 to 50°C, then the maximum error is 1.25°C. This error may not be a problem when measuring in the 40 to 50°C range but at the lower end, 0 to 10°C, an error of ±1.25°C is quite large if defined using the true value. It is important to select an instrument so that it is not normally operating at the extremes of its measuring range.
Bandwidth = Working frequency range. Every system has a limited ability to respond to fast moving stimuli. This may be due to mechanical inertia of components within the system or perhaps electrical inductance and capacitance. The effect of this is to alter the performance of the system depending upon the frequency of the stimulus. For example, a hi-fi system has a limited bandwidth as a result of its electronic components and the mechanical inertia of the speakers. The hi-fis output for a range of fixed amplitude but varying frequency inputs could be plotted as follows:
Bandwidth is the range of frequencies for which the gain is within 1/Ö2 (70.7%) of its peak value. It is generally limited to specifying the frequency response of amplifiers where the output is measured in dB and the bandwidth is then the range of frequencies for which the gain is within 3dB of its peak value.
Full Scale Deflection: A term that has its origins in the deflection of a needle on a meter such as a voltmeter or ammeter. It is equivalent to the range (see below) of an instrument and is sometimes used instead of this term.
Hysteresis. This refers to the situation where different readings (outputs) are sometimes observed for the same input because the input was approached from different directions. For example a thermometer exposed to an increasing temperature input (i.e. going from 0 to 100°C) may show a slightly different profile to that for the decreasing input (i.e. decreasing from 100 to 0°C).
Hysteresis is often noticeable in mechanical systems where degradation of parts due to wear create slightly different results when the direction of the input is reversed. Imagine two cogs that have small gaps between the teeth due to wear. This will create hysteresis.
Linearity. This is usually referred to as non-linearity. It is the difference between actual and ideal straight line behaviour. One way to define non linearity is to divide the maximum non linearity value by the full scale deflection.
Loading effects. Sensors (and hence instruments) work by removing energy from the system they are connected to. As a result of this they change the state of the system. This is known as a loading effect. In other words, the parameter that is being measured is changed in some way by the method of measurement. Flow measurement is often implemented by introducing a restriction in a pipe which changes the flowrate. Another example is the electrical loading effect where an electrical meter which has an internal resistance affects the voltage it is measuring.
Offset, Drift : a measurement must be made with respect to a known datum or base line. It is very common and convenient to adjust the output of the instrument to zero at the datum. For example, a thermometer is set up to display zero at the freezing point of water. A pressure gauge is adjusted to read zero when open to atmosphere.
However, the output signal may be offset from zero by some amount. It is often possible to adjust the instrument to remove this offset. For example, a bathroom weighing scales can be adjusted to display zero when no one is standing on it.
A common problem with instruments is that the output at the datum drifts and introduces an error to the measurement. All sensors are affected by drift to some extent whether it be short term or long term. Short term drift is usually associated with changes in temperature or electronics stablising. Long term drift is usually associated with aging of the transducer.
Precision: the reproducibility with which repeated measurements of the same variable can be made under identical conditions. An instrument can be precise but inaccurate and, likewise, it is possible to have an accurate but imprecise instrument. See below:
Which is preferable - precise but inaccurate or accurate but not precise?
Range: The total range of values an instrument is capable of measuring. For a standard thermometer this is 0 to 100°C. This is the same as the full scale.
Repeatable: An instrument is repeatable if it produces a particular output when a certain input is applied in spite of the passage of time.
Resolution : smallest change in input signal needed to produce a change in the output signal
Sensitivity is defined as the output over the input (this is also called the gain of the instrument). Static sensitivity is the sensitivity exhibited during steady state conditions. Sensitivity has units which depend on the measuring system. For example, a temperature measuring system that uses a platinum resistance temperature device (RTD) produces a change in resistance as the temperature changes. The input is temperature and the output is resistance. The output over the input is therefore,
Overall sensitivity a
measurement system consists of a number of devices. If the sensitivities of these devices are K1,
Span : range of input signals corresponding to range of output signal (i.e. largest input signal which can be displayed/indicated smallest input signal which can be displayed/indicated). For a standard thermometer this is 100 - 0 = 100°C. If the thermometers range is -30 to 220°C, then the span is equal to 250°C.
Stability: Output is constant when the input is constant.
Tolerance is the maximum error. A 1000W resistor with a tolerance of ±5% has an actual resistance between 950 and 1050W.

Two people were injured after their car fell down a cliff next to the Tsada to Stroumbi road on Sunday afternoon.
According to police, the accident happened at 3.50pm when the 65-year-old driver lost control of his car.
The vehicle hit an electricity pole, resulting in the wires being cut. It then overturned and fell down a 20 to 25-metre deep cliff.
The fire service helped the man and his 57-year-old wife get out of the car and they were taken to Paphos general hospital by ambulance.
The scene was secured to prevent the start of a fire.
According to the doctors on duty both patients are in stable condition.
Paphos police are investigating the causes of the accident.

Restorative justice talking circles: The simplest of questions can connect us
I came up with the “getting acquainted” question off the top of my head. I asked what winter clothing item, do you most enjoy wearing. It was the last class of the semester so about the 16th Circle for this group. I was impressed and struck by how connected we became over articles of clothing.
A student just a few seats to my right, turned up his jeans at the ankle, and talked about loving his flannel jeans. Of course I thought how I always wanted to get a pair of those. The talking piece was across the Circle, another student, made comment to his peer across the Circle ” . . . me, too” and showed the flannel lining of his jeans.
Someone else talked about loving mittens that divide your fingers on the inside. I connected with that. It was really fun a round of answers to listen to.
A recent evaluation form had the feedback that what the person liked least was “too much fluff at the begining, unnecessary”. I thought about that Circle, and I know I spent some time getting all 22 people feeling comfortable. I do feel the stages are structured to get us prepared for the tougher questions.
Why restorative justice helps us with "belonging"
from Kris Miner's blog entry:
We started a new Circle program called CSI-Circles. Controlled Substance Intervention – responding to those who have gotten citations/tickets for marijuana possession or parapernalia charges. We use Restorative Justice Circle process with booklets from the Change Company. Our community members in the Circle include people in recovery, with significant life experiences impacted by addiction and previous drug use.

Two local women celebrate the circle in new book
A new book by two Princeton area women celebrates the circle as a means to honor milestones and experiences in people’s lives.
The women — Sherry Winter and Nancy McCreight — completed the softbound book, “Celebration Circles” this past summer after working on it off and on for seven years. The two will be doing a one-to-two hour book signing Dec. 12 starting at noon at Princeton Area Library. The book is not in bookstores but can be found online.

Mercy urged for child charged in Jakarta murder
The National Commission for Child Protection on Wednesday said it was working hard to save a 10-year-old boy, suspected of having stabbed and beaten his adoptive mother to death, from serving up to 15 years in jail.
East Jakarta Police investigators have said the child, who is originally from Nias and is an orphaned survivor of the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, may face charges for violating the 2004 law on domestic violence.
Short prison sentences for young 'should be axed'
All short-term prison sentences for young adults convicted of non-violent offences should be abolished, a charity has said.
The Transition to Adulthood (T2A) Alliance made the call as it launched a report on young adults and the criminal justice system.
The report says thousands of vulnerable young adults with mental health problems, learning difficulties, drug and alcohol addictions, and backgrounds in homelessness and care, are being funnelled unnecessarily into the criminal justice system.
The T2A Alliance argues the majority could use support services in the community before they have to enter the criminal justice system and, if sentencing is appropriate, they should be given community sentences.
Better not bitter says activist Mukoko
Abducted and tortured activist Jestina Mukoko, has said that the pain and trauma she experienced in the hands of state officials last year, has left her Better and not bitter.
Speaking on December 17, 2009 at a meeting organised by the Zimbabwe Human rights forum to celebrate her City of Weimar Human Rights Award, Mukoko also director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, said it was inner strength and the knowledge that people all over the world were rallying alongside with her that kept her going.
“I believe there was a purpose in all this. It might have been a nasty experience but looking at how I now deal with people who have been tortured I have a different perspective to it.”
'Solution circle' starts healing at Boulder's Justice High
Six Justice High students on Wednesday faced one another, their families and the poor choices that landed some of them in the hospital two weeks ago.
The students, who got in trouble Dec. 2 for overdosing on prescription drugs while at school, were participating in one of Justice High's first restorative justice "solution circles."
The idea behind the circles is for students who get into trouble to discuss their behavior with their parents, peers, teachers and counselors and come up with solutions other than court-ordered punishments. Administrators at Justice High, a Boulder charter school for troubled teens, say the goal is to address problem behavior before it becomes more serious.
Restorative justice could cut 'reoffending and save €8.3m'
The government should introduce a restorative justice scheme by 2015 that is capable of handling up to 7,250 criminal cases every year, a new report has commended.
The scheme, which typically allows offenders to provide some form of reparation to victims rather than serve time in prison, could save the exchequer up to €8.3 million per year. It could also cut reoffending rates in half, according to the report to be published [17 Dec] by Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern.
Compiled by the National Commission on Restorative Justice, it recommends that courts be required to consider restorative justice as an alternative to prison for offences where sentences of up to three years in jail are normal.
Rethinking school discipline
Classroom learning is a delicate balance between teacher and student -- a balance of discipline and nurturing that shelters students from the chaos of the outside world and replaces it with structure and inspiration to help focus on building their minds. But the recently published analysis by the Associated Press on in-school disciplinary actions in Illinois reveals that the disciplinary side of education is often too heavy-handed, sweeping away not just troublemakers but potentially successful students, too. These bleak findings show that while African American students make up 20% of the average student population in the past decade, they comprise nearly half of all public school suspensions and expulsions.
In its mania for jailing people, Britain has declared trivial offences crimes
I have a foolproof scheme for cutting crime in Britain. It would slash court overcrowding, rescue legal aid, empty prisons and calm public fears. It would save billions of pounds, and all without endangering a hair on a single Briton's head. The scheme involves removing thousands of recently "invented" offences from the statute book.
This will not happen, because if there is one thing a macho politician loves, it is declaring any social problem or public disobedience a crime, and hiring more police to confront it. Constantly extending criminality enables prime ministers and home secretaries to walk tall down Main Street, pistols twirling in their fingers, and with no care for who gets hurt.

A few days ago I made my favorite recipe ever. I got the idea from my sister-in-law after I found out that I had lost her old banana bread recipe. I went to ask her for it again and she told me she no longer had it because she had been making a new recipe that her family loved. So I found on the web and changed it up a bit. It’s an adaptation from this recipe. I have changed it to reduce the amount the sugar and to substitute part of it as well.
I like substituting ingredients because I find myself not feeling as guilty when eating them. I also like to work on getting my taste buds used to lower amount of flavoring so that I don’t get strong cravings. I talked about this on my over article on Taste Buds.
This morning I was eating it with my son while doing story time right before bed. I kept telling him no as far as the bread at first because I don’t want him to have as much sugar. He begged me and begged me for cake though. I found him laying down on the stairs waiting for me to come back down with begging face so I gave in. Luckily I knew I had made it and I knew what was in it so I didn’t feel as bad. Most days he is a pretty picky eater so I don’t mind at this time fattening him up a bit. 🙂
So I sliced him some, had some myself and then we went for seconds. Sure enough the second time around he game me the slice and took the rest of the loaf for himself. I guess in his eyes I am the selfish one that needs to work on sharing perhaps!!! I always keep the load and only share a slice!!!! Just Kidding. I don’t think he thought about it that way. It was cute that he wanted the loaf and that he still thought of giving me a slice instead.
He sure laughed at it and we enjoyed story time. Funny thing is he took two bites and didn’t finish the rest. He also saw I was stressed because I was nursing Zara while reading and eating and went to grab the vacuum to clean up the floor when we were done. 2 Year Olds make the perfect little friends to have around sometimes!
If you can play this song while making it and dance to it with your loved ones it’s a bonus!
Coconut Lime Banana Bread and Working on Sharing
- 1 1/2 C flour
- 1/2 C of whole wheat flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1/4 C of raw honey
- 1/4 C (4 Tbs) real butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 C mashed ripe bananas (about 4 large bananas)
- 1/4 C plain yogurt
- 3 Tbs rice milk or regular milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 C coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (Optional, if you have it, add it!)
- Topping: 2 Tbs additional coconut
- Glaze: 1/4 C powdered sugar whisked with 1 Tbs fresh lime juice and optionally the zest from the lime as well.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until blended. Add eggs and beat to combine. Add banana, sour cream or yogurt, apple juice (or milk), and vanilla. Beat until blended.
Add flour mixture and beat at a low speed until just combined. Stir in 1/2 C coconut.
Pour batter into a 9×5″ loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle additional 2 Tbs coconut on top.
Bake in the oven for about 1 hour or until a knife or skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Note: Check bread after about 40 minutes. If the top has browned and the coconut pieces are looking toasty, cover top of bread lightly with a piece of foil. Continue baking until done.
When done, remove pan from oven. Let cool on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes and then carefully remove from pan. Whisk powdered sugar and lime juice together for the glaze and then drizzle over top. Cool for another 15 minutes before slicing.

In the wake of a Western Mail report on the numbers of Welsh students winning entry to Oxbridge, Torfaen MP Paul Murphy discusses why Welsh students should still go to Oxford and Cambridge
Iwas extremely fortunate to attend Oxford University. No-one in my family before me had attended university, let alone Oxbridge. Yet I didn’t think it was unusual when I applied to study history at Oxford.
My school, West Monmouth in Pontypool, supported me and other students in our applications to Oxford and Cambridge.
My time at university offered me many opportunities to further my political career.
And I wasn’t alone, Rhodri Morgan and Roy Jenkins were Welsh politicians who took their degrees at Oxford.
However, Welsh students are poorly represented today at Oxford and Cambridge.
In April, an article in this paper indicated that from six South Wales education authorities, around one in 20 applications to Oxbridge were successful – compared with one in five across the UK as a whole.
My own research into data released by London MP David Lammy has shown similarly disturbing results. I compared eight Welsh Valley areas with Hertfordshire, since both have populations of around one million.
A student from the Welsh Valleys is 10 times less likely to get an offer.
Furthermore, the same student is over five times less likely to even apply.
When the figures are mapped it becomes clear that attending Oxford and Cambridge is sadly still the preserve of students from the south of England.
A few English regions, and South Wales in particular, lose out spectacularly.
Why is this the case?
Is there a lack of aspiration to Oxford and Cambridge in Wales?
Perhaps devolution may account for Welsh students looking for degrees within Wales. Perhaps Oxbridge seems too expensive.
Are attitudes among teachers and schools in Wales indifferent or even hostile to Oxbridge?
My own history teacher in Pontypool, Ken Roderick, went to Oxford and encouraged me to apply.
Oxford and Cambridge have many great traditions, but sometimes they need to be explained.
Oxford and Cambridge often use unusual language and this can be confused with elitism and snobbery.
Teachers form an important link in encouraging students to apply to Oxbridge, and show why a degree at one of these universities is of great value.
I am not suggesting for one minute that other universities in Wales and across the UK do not offer quality education.
Simply attending Oxford or Cambridge is not a fast-track to success or academic excellence. However, ignoring the teaching, learning environment and facilities Oxbridge offers is to overlook many opportunities Welsh students deserve.
How can we remedy this situation?
Clearly, teachers in the valleys should encourage applications to Oxbridge and help students realise the potential benefits of studying in Oxford or Cambridge.
In my view, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge need to be more active in recruiting Welsh students.
While I was Secretary of State for Wales, I was involved with Access Cymru, an initiative to encourage applications to Oxford from bright Welsh students.
Such programmes need expansion and new impetus to reach out to Welsh schools and students.
Oxbridge colleges must be aware that many students from private schools are coached with their application forms, interviews and entrance exams, whilst students who come from less advantaged Welsh backgrounds are not.
Admissions tutors should do their utmost to admit those with greater potential over those with greater polish.
Within Wales, alumni from Oxbridge should be linked up with Welsh state schools.
These “ambassadors” could provide inspiration, guidance and encouragement to A-Level students, as well as demystify the more elitist elements that concern Welsh teachers.
I have written to the vice-chancellors of Oxford and Cambridge University to put across these ideas and seek further ways of addressing the distorted picture in higher education.
We have superb universities in Wales.
And while I am under no illusion that Oxford and Cambridge are the be-all and end-all of higher education, Oxbridge is special and changed my life.
Aside from its worldwide reputation and history, the chance to study amongst students of the highest calibre and be taught by experts should not be ignored.
So let us not deny the excellence and work to give as many Welsh pupils the same opportunity I had.


Preparing the Fields
We rototill our fields each spring and add amendments to provide nutrients that will help our flowers bloom to their full potential.
Setting the Field
We are changing our field rows. Allowing more space between our rows, to allow for better ventilation, which reduces fungus and allows our customers to easily harvest their flowers from the field.
We have a completely automated watering system. This allows for scheduled watering and also allows us to be able to inject fertilizer in different zones. This automation reduces the amount of work required to water 20,000 flowers.

The arthouse crowd was feted to visual art show, music, drinks and entertainment last Thursday evening at the Arthouse Contemporary’s Art Night Out, inside the Kia Showroom on Victoria Island. The event was a preview for the “Affordable Art Auction” the following Saturday February 11, 2017. Over strains of Falana’s mellow re-arrangements of popular, 80s songs, about a hundred guests bantered over quality and prices of several works of paintings, drawings, photography and sculpture. “The Affordable Art Auction aims to attract seasoned collectors and first time buyers with all artworks estimated below N1,000,000”, Arthouse Contemporary said. “The auction features works by emerging artists, modern masters, and Africa’s most prominent contemporary artists, all scaled to a more affordable and accessible price point”.
Translated, the company is aware that its main yearly quarterly auctions are quite pricey even if they have become the top draw in the country’s growing art market. The auction house wants to “build a network of local clients to create a more self-sufficient market”. Given that context, the question is: Is 900,000Naira, really, an affordable price? Some of the pieces on view would be comfortable in the main auction. One of that is Bruce Onobrakpeya’s Three Elephant Masquerades, a 2011 print on serigraph clearly brought into the show to assure would-be buyers that some of these “affordable” art are comparable to the top sellers in the main auction. Some other works are on the show due more to the artists’ star power than the works themselves. Abiodun Olaku’s Folake comes across as an incomplete experiment in water colour by this leading painter. The main appeal is certainly not the central figure.
The dots on the browning paper, against a background of a charged troubled atmosphere, provides room for a little, lingering thought. To offer that for 600,000Naira? Seriously? Olu Amoda, better known as a sculptor who animates large metal works, and beats massive drawings out of steel, provides two drawings, Posing, with effective lines and geometric shapes, but they don’t grab me, even if the 200,000Naira starting price looks tempting. An artist to pay attention to is Sade Thompson. Her Tribute To Ojeikere, (Oil on Canvas) is carefully wrought, delicate design experiment that speaks with eloquence to the subject of Hair design that the late photographer, Ojeikere, was famed for.
Nigeria Returns To Venice, Officially
Jelili Atiku is one of the 120 artists on the curator’s list for the 57th Venice Biennale, running from May to November 2017. He’d be exhibiting his socially charged art performance at the Gardini Arsenale, the locational heart of the event. Atiku was selected by the curatoral panel headed by the Biennale’s director Christine Macel , but this is just one aspect of the Venice Biennale. Nigeria, as a country will be presenting works of a group of artists at its own National Pavillion, for the first time in over 50 years. Peju Alatise, Victor Ehikhamenor, Qudus Onikeku and Wana Udobang will hoist the Nigerian flag at the country’s own pavillion. They will be exhibiting their art, installation work, video projection, performed arts, poetry and paintings, at the Pavillion.
The exhibition is assembled by private initiative, through the two year old Rele Gallery. It’s not yet clear how the gallery got the funding. Nigerians have been involved in the Venice Biennale without the country itself being involved in official capacity, as the Rele Gallery-led show is. The last edition of the Biennale was curated by the Nigerian critic and art historian, Okwui Enwezor. Ms Macel’s theme for the 2017 edition of the event is non ideological. She simply wants a show about art for artists. Viva Arte Viva, as she calls it, “is an exclamation, a passionate outcry for art and the state of the artist.
Viva Arte Viva is a Biennale designed with artists, by artists and for artists, about the forms they propose, the questions they ask, the practices they develop and the ways of life they choose. It’s a complete departure from Okwui Enwezor’s theme: All The World’s Futures, which brought in works from outside the metropolis, that spoke of the grim realities of the planet and for which some critics labeled it “joyless”.
Bloom Takes Marcia Kure to Cape Town
Ugoma Adegoke’s Bloom Art is presenting the work of Marcia Kure at the Cape Town Art Fair, in South Africa, which is in its fifth edition. The Fair runs from February 17-19, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Kure, based in Princeton, in the United States, will be presenting pieces from her ‘Of Saints And Vagabonds’ series. Kure is a significant Nigerian artist, whose works have appeared at the Sharjah Biennial, the Seville Biennal and the La Triennale, three robustly curated exhibitions which line up, in terms of the art world’s perception of high quality, only after the Documenta, the Venice and the Sao Paulo Biennales.
The daughter of a former Nigerian minister of Culture, Ms. Kure came to national recognition with the winning of the first Uche Okeke prize for drawing in 1994. Married to Chika Okeke-Agulu, the professor of African art history at Princeton, she has lived abroad for over 15 years. Adegoke, founder of the Life House initiative, runs Bloom Art as a visual art promotion agency which organises salon exhibits and pop up art shows.
The Carnivore Runs Out Of Print, Gets New Supplies
The first set of copies of Toni Kan’s novel, The Carnivorous City, has run out and the publishers Cassava Press has had to scramble to get new supplies to book shops nationwide. “I went everywhere during the end of year holidays and I couldn’t find one single copy”, says Princess Irede Abumere, whose book club, Sunshine, selected the novel for its members’ holiday reading. Mr. Kan said in a telephone response that fresh supplies of the book have been distributed to bookshops by Cassava.
But he declined to mention how many copies were printed the first time. Cassava could not be reached for comment. The Carnivorous City, about the disappearance of a high profile white collar criminal is, in large part, a tour guide to Lagos, showcasing the city’s posh hang outs in parallel with its seedier settlements and providing aerial character sketches on them. Its basic narrative explains how a large, poorly serviced metropolis can make a dastardly criminal out of even the most honest individual. Mr. Kan is a best seller by Nigerian standards. His last book, a collection of short stories titled: Nights of The Creaking Bed, published by the same company, sold 10,000 copies.

Tired of hearing how the latest app is going to raise your bottom line or solve the world’s problems?
Then give a listen to Lee Vinsel.
Vinsel is saying we’re obsessed with the latest new and shiny innovations instead of taking better care of what we already have.
Innovation is everywhere, says Vinsel, who is a professor of science and technology in society at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va.
But, he asks, what if innovation’s benefits have been exaggerated and our obsession with “the next big thing” has taken our attention from work that matters more?
In many U.S cities, for example, suburban sprawl has left local governments with millions of dollars of deferred repairs they can’t afford to make.
And, says Vinsel, sometimes an obsession with innovation can have unintended and even dire consequences.
In 2018, a Miami bridge that had been hailed for its innovative design collapsed onto a highway and killed six people.
Vinsel recently discussed North America’s love affair with innovation in a webcast called Has our Obsession with Innovation Disrupted the Work That Matters Most?
Vinsel says society’s innovation hang-up is symbolized by what he calls “innovation-speak.”
Unlike innovation itself, innovation-speak is “a breathless dialect of word salad that trumpets the importance of innovation while turning that term into an overused buzzword.”
A lot of hype that’s disconnected from reality, in other words.
Says Vinsel, “The world we actually inhabit, including the technologies we use and need, is a very different place from the one described to us by marketing departments and CEOs.”
When Americans talk about technology, they often use the word innovation as shorthand, he says.
“But innovation refers only to the very early phases of technological development and use,” says Vinsel. “It also tends to narrow the scope of technology to digital gadgets of recent vintage, such as iPhones and social media apps.”
A more expansive conception of technology should take into account the many different kinds of tools and machinery that humans use in their day to day lives.
“While innovation — the social process of introducing new things — is important, most technologies around us are old, and maintaining them is more important for the smooth functioning of daily life,” says Vinsel. “We need to recognize the importance of maintenance. Unfortunately, our business culture tends to devalue maintenance operations, because it sees innovation as high-value and maintenance as low-value.”
What Vinsel says about the U.S. goes for Canada too.
According to the latest Canadian Infrastructure Report Card for 2019, a significant amount of public infrastructure in Canada is aging and in poor condition.
Among the findings of the report card, which was produced by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), and seven partner organizations:
- Nearly 40 per cent of roads and bridges are in fair, poor or very poor condition, and roughly 80 per cent is more than 20 years old;
- Between 30 per cent and 35 per cent of recreational and cultural facilities are in fair, poor or very poor condition. In some categories (e.g. pools, libraries and community centres), more than 60 per cent are at least 20 years old; and
- 30 per cent of water infrastructure (such as watermains and sewers) are in fair, poor or very poor condition.
“We’re talking about roads, bridges, libraries, arenas and more — things Canadians rely on every day,” says Bill Karsten, who was FCM president when the report card was released. “Good, reliable infrastructure supports our quality of life in communities across the country, so Canadians should find these results concerning.
“The report shows the importance of long-term investments in renewing the infrastructure that’s already in our communities, even as we envision new projects to build.”
Has our Obsession with Innovation Disrupted the Work That Matters Most? is part of the Unleashed series of webcasts that is put on by Results Inc., a Western Canada management consulting company.
“The purpose of the free series is to build community, to inspire hope and confidence to lead employers and employees through the pandemic,” says Results CEO Jeff Tetz. “Each one-hour session deals with a unique subject of some kind and is led by a well-known presenter.”
Approximately 300 people watched Vinsel’s presentation “live,” and thousands of others listened to the podcast or watched it on YouTube.
“We plan to continue the webcasts after the pandemic is over if we can find enough interesting guests with something of value to say, and if people continue to embrace the concept,” says Tetz.

MOSCOW – Russian’s new agencies are reporting that the foreign minister says the new U.S. missile defense plan looks less threatening than a Bush-era program scrapped by President Barack Obama.
Sergey Lavrov’s remarks Wednesday were the latest positive Russian reaction to Obama’s decision to shelve plans for missile defense facilities in Poland and the Czech Republic. Russia had claimed those plans were aimed to weaken its nuclear deterrent.
Obama has instead turned to a plan for shorter-range anti-missile weapons, some of them ship-based.
Russian news agencies quoted Lavrov as saying preliminary assessments indicate Obama’s plan “does not create the risks” that the old one would have, and could prompt dialogue.

In 1961, on Jan Eliasson’s 21st birthday, Dag Hammarskjöld the Swedish Secretary-General of the U.N., died in a plane crash. “I heard the news on the radio. At that moment I decided that I must work at the United Nations and follow his path in diplomacy. He was one of my heroes and role models,” said Eliasson.
In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the U.N. and in honor of one of its most highly respected Secretary-Generals, Per Tengstrand joins current U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson on stage as the two friends reminisce about this extraordinary life, with music inspired by readings from Hammarskjöld’s Markings (1963).

|Alfredo Astiz, dubbed Blond Angel of Death, has been accused of human rights abuses during 1976-1983 military rule|
A court in Argentina has sentenced 12 former military and police officials to life in prison for crimes against
humanity committed during the country’s 1976-1983 dictatorship.
The men were convicted of kidnapping, torturing and killing leftist dissidents at a torture centre called the Navy Mechanics School.
Among those sentenced was Alfredo Astiz, a 59-year-old former navy officer dubbed “the Angel of Death”.
Astiz is accused of participating in the disappearance, torture and murder of two French nuns, a journalist and three founders of a human rights group that he infiltrated while spying for the dictatorship.
Official figures say 9,000 people were kidnapped, tortured and killed in what became known as Argentina’s “Dirty War,” but many believe the real number to be closer to 30,000.
Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo, reporting from Buenos Aires, said many families felt the justice was “long overdue”.
“There was a lot of emotion in the courtroom, in a general sense justice was being made after so many years,” she said.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.
There’s nothing that those crazy kids down on Gran Pulse love more than plopping down some gil on a few drinks before competing in some spirited rounds of drunken Moogle tossing. All right, so that’s only a half-truth; but you can seriously toss Moogles in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Gamers can start chucking the little bundles of cuteness incarnate around when the JRPG launches on January 31st, but be warned that PETM (People for the Ethical Treatment of Moogles) is probably not going to be too happy with you.

Discussion Post #4
Privileges are and can be entitlements that direct your position in society. Due to your race, age, and gender you might be favored for a job position, group, or community. I believe that most of our privileges come from our parents but of course you can change that theory by working and focusing on yourself. By focusing on yourself privileges such as scholarships, business deals, or job opportunities will arise.
In my case most of my privileges come from my parents. Being born into a middle class family and not having to worry about paying for school is great! They also pay for the rent to my apartment and my food/clothing, so I never have anything to worry about except school. So far these privileges make me look like a spoiled human being but that’s not true… or i hope it isn’t true. Still they are the major benefactors in my life. Don’t get me wrong I do work on myself as well, to create my own privileges. When I got my first job the reason I got it was because I am bilingual and brought racial diversity to the kitchen (I worked in a restaurant).
In analyzing my own privileges and the ones my parents gave me I am unsure how it will affect my field research. The main reason I chose my online community was because of how much time I have on my hands which in result is due to my parents. My online community is based on a specific artist and her fan-base. With all the time I have I am able to listen to all of the artists music. Also due to my fixed position I relate and am a part of the online community. This is due to the community having a large number of minorities. In researching the community I plan on carrying with me the personal experiences that make me a minority and what it does for others. I will have strong willed opinions for certain aspects but hopefully I can push those aside to observe the larger picture.


Inexpensive solar panels powering a local network delivering Wi-Fi to public housing residents has caught the attention of the Mozilla Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the company behind the Firefox web browser.
The San Antonio Housing Authority pitched the idea as part of the Smart Community Networks Challenge, managed and sponsored by Mozilla and the National Science Foundation. SAHA’s proposal won a $10,000 honorable mention and advances to the second phase of the challenge.
Noting that 10 percent of Americans don’t have access to “quality internet connectivity,” the challenge sought proposals addressing wireless connectivity in places where it’s a challenge.
“Ten percent of all people in the U.S. — 34 million people — lack access to internet connectivity, a number that jumps to a staggering 39% in rural communities and 41% on Tribal lands,” the contest’s website says. “The Smart Community Networks Challenge aims to close this access gap by enhancing wireless connectivity in areas where internet access is a challenge, whether due to geographic, financial or other factors.”
SAHA pitched the idea of a solar-powered “mesh network,” which for the non-technical types, means a network of devices scattered about a specific area that are all talking to each other to deliver data to devices. The system creates a Wi-Fi blanket over an area.
Some 90 teams presented proposals in the contest, said Jo Ana Alvarado, SAHA’s director of information technology.
Alvarado said SAHA picked its Cassiano Homes on the West Side as the test site.
“We decided to go for Cassiano Homes because we have 757 clients in 499 units there,” she said.
That area lacks connectivity and even accessing electricity can be difficult in some areas, Alvarado said.
SAHA has been working on increasing connectivity to its residents, in part with the ConnectHome program launched by then-President Barack Obama and unveiled in San Antonio by then-Housing Secretary Julián Castro.
The solar-mesh Wi-Fi project could bring internet to many more SAHA residents because it can be scaled up, Alvarado said.
She and her team won praise from Councilman Manny Pelaez and the Innovation and Technology Committee he runs.
“We’re only as smart as our citizens are,” he said. “You can’t be a well-informed participatory citizen if you don’t have access to what’s almost a natural resource … the internet.”
The network can deliver internet speeds of about 10 to 15 megabits per second. That’s a fraction of the speed of gigabit internet, like what Google Fiber offers, but it’s still fast enough to do homework, apply for jobs, pay bills and complete other tasks that require internet connections in the 21st century.
The solar-panel-topped poles cost less than $1,000 each, Alvarado said. Now, she and her team are working on the second phase of the contest — a working prototype is due in late June. In August, contestants will demonstrate their technology in Mountain View, California. Winners will be announced in the fall with awards ranging from $50,000 to $400,000.

A great part of a TED conference is the change of pace delivered by short punchy 3 to 5 minute talks. We will be including several of these in our TEDxIBYork program, and we're delighted that two slam poets will be joining us in this category, Lishai, and David Silverberg.
Poetry is no longer relegated to the dusty tomes we might have read in high school. It's out there communicating with the people in a mix of poetry and performance art. Lishai and Silverberg are both accomplished practitioners of the art. One of our committee who attended a performance recently, assures me we have a great treat in store!

Lakehead law school launching Indigenous law and justice institute
Institute will engage with Indigenous communities and organizations, create law camp
Lakehead University's Bora Laskin Faculty of Law will soon be home to a new Indigenous law and justice institute.
The Maamawi Bimosewag - They Walk Together Institute will focus on engaging with Indigenous communities and organizations, developing curriculum and preparing law students to work with Indigenous people after they graduate.
The effort grew out of both the law school's mandate and the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, said Jula Hughes, dean of the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law.
"They had one call to action, number 50, that talks about drawing on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to encourage the … federal government to collaborate with Aboriginal organisations and to fund the establishment of Indigenous law institutes," Hughes said. "This, then, was the jumping off point for an inclusion in the federal budget in 2019 for responding to this call to action and the federal government committed at the time to invest up to $10 million over five years in support of these Indigenous law initiatives through a program that called the Justice Partnership and Innovation Program."
That program is providing up to $437,000 to the institute, which will focus on three areas:
- Build and sustain relationships with Indigenous organizations and communities to build capacity toward the revitalization of Anisninaabe and Metis law.
- Focus on land-base learning, including the creation of a law camp that will engage community and faculty in Indigenous land law. The camp, the faculty said, will include Indigenous law revitalization, restatement, and codification methodologies, awareness of Indigenous political and service organizations and cultural competency training.
- Research, including training students to interview Elders and knowledge keepers, investigating treaty history, conducting community workshops, and documenting Anishinaabe and Metis law and legal principles.
Hughes said originally, the hope was for the institute to be in full operational last year, but COVID-19 delayed things.
However, work is underway now, with law professor Nancy Sandy having been appointed as the institute's director. Consultation with Indigenous organizations will begin shortly, as well, Hughes said.
Hughes said the institute will be a benefit to law students, as they move on to their careers as lawyers.
"Indigenous legal orders are actually a persistent source of law in Canada," she said. "They're part of the Canadian legal system. And so, in order for lawyers to be competent to practice, they need to be conversant in Indigenous laws."
Hughes noted that students do take a mandatory course in Indigenous legal orders, but that's "one course out of many."
"We need to do more work with the students, so that that knowledge is appropriately developed and they develop those competencies," she said. "A component of that is also to ensure that students are culturally competent to practice law, serving Indigenous clients, interacting with Indigenous people who may be on the other side of a file, making sure that they understand the importance of community protocols and all of those kinds of aspects of things."
In addition, Hughes said, Indigenous law in Canada is increasingly being applied in a context of self-governance.
"So students also need to come away with competencies regarding everything from modern land claims to … these jurisdictional agreements, impact benefit agreements, in the context of resource extraction," she said.


Many of the songs in this week’s podcast come from either Record Store Day releases or releases found on Record Store Day while hitting up various and diverse stores in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas. Much love to Vinyl Renaissance’s new store on 39th Street in KCMO, as well as the store down the street, Zebedee’s RPM, for providing scads of entertainment and helping me to find some much-wanted releases. Love Garden Sounds in Lawrence ought to go without saying, as it is my hometown record shop, but I always plugs it when I can.
Hopefully, this week’s podcast ends up entertaining you as much as it did me. These new tracks certainly manage to provide a diverse cross section of rock ‘n’ roll.
Oh, and last-minute update: this marks the one-year anniversary of the podcast. The first episode was posted on April 15, 2010. This means we’ve had 44 episodes, which is pretty damned good for something ran on beer, caffeine, and sheer willpower out of a basement in Kansas. Yay us.

Watch Unseen Beatles Footage From ‘Get Back’ Sessions
While the "sneak peek" video isn’t a trailer for his documentary, he said the nearly six minutes of film offer an idea of the “vibe” fans can expect when it premieres next year. He also confirmed he had 56 hours of archive film at his disposal.
The clip shows Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr playing around as they work. McCartney and Lennon are seen claiming they can’t be argued with because they’re “stars” and attempting to sing without moving their mouths, while both break into fake fistfights. “It gives you a sense of the spirit of the film that we’re making,” Jackson explained.
You can watch the video below.
The unseen material appears to support McCartney’s recent comments about the project. Earlier this month, he said it was “reaffirming” to see it, because it proved the Beatles were still enjoying each others’ company as they neared their split.
“I bought into the dark side of the Beatles breaking up and thought, ‘Oh, God, I’m to blame,’” he explained. “I knew I wasn’t, but it’s easy when the climate is that way to start thinking, so … at the back of my mind there was always this idea that it wasn’t like that, but I needed to see proof. There’s a great photo Linda took, which is my favorite, of me and John working on a song, glowing with joy. This footage is the same. All four of us having a ball.”

UK Government sanction Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and freeze his assets
The UK government has sanctioned Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, freezing his assets, including English Premier League soccer club Chelsea.
In a statement Thursday, the UK government said Abramovich has had “his assets frozen, a prohibition on transactions with UK individuals and businesses, a travel ban and transport sanctions imposed.”
Abramovich and Putin ally Igor Sechin are among seven oligarchs and politicians to be added to the UK’s sanctions list.
The sanctions are estimated to be worth close to $20 billion (£15 billion), the UK government said.
Seven further oligarchs and politicians are being added to its sanctions list, including:
Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea FC and has stakes in steel giant Evraz and Norilsk Nickel
Oleg Deripaska, who has stakes in En+ Group
Igor Sechin, the chief executive of Rosneft
Andrey Kostin, chairman of VTB bank
Alexei Miller, CEO of energy company Gazprom
Nikolai Tokarev, president of the Russia state-owned pipeline company Transneft
Dmitri Lebedev, chairman of the board of directors of Bank Rossiya
