Leni Robredo plans House or Senate run
Only when she is considered indispensable to the Liberal Party (LP) will Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo consider a run for Vice President in tandem with Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.
“If I were indispensable, I would consider it. But there are others who are better, more prepared and more popular,” she said in an interview on Radyo Inquirer on Sunday.
Robredo, the widow of Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo, said a vice-presidential campaign was still not among her options in spite of a push by some members of the LP. A civil society group has launched a Leni Robredo for Vice President Movement.
Right now, she said, her options are to seek reelection as representative of her congressional district or to run for a Senate seat.
The ruling LP is actively wooing Sen. Grace Poe, the front-runner in the presidential preference surveys, to run instead for the vice presidency.
But as Poe appears unlikely to accept this offer, the party has floated other possible running mates for Roxas, including Robredo and Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos, who has already ruled this out.
Robredo, a UP School of Economics graduate and a lawyer, said she was grateful to be considered along with these other names, but she thought she could easily be replaced by any one of them.
Too fast, too early
By contrast, when she ran for representative in her district, which includes Naga City, there was a sense that she was direly needed, she said.
“For me, this position is too big for someone who has spent only two years as a public servant. [The vice presidency] is not a small position. It requires a lot of preparations and capability,” Robredo said.
Before he became interior secretary, her husband had served as an innovative multiterm mayor of Naga, for which he received many awards, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award for governance.
“Popularity is not enough, or a push by your allies is not enough. It’s too fast, too early for me to make a decision like that,” she said.
Robredo also noted that her national awareness rating was “still too low.”
She is one of the main proponents of the proposed Freedom of Information law. She has also pushed legislation on good government and transparency in public service.
Simple, unassuming ways
Like her late husband, Robredo is known for her simple and unassuming ways. Photos of her waiting for a bus to take her to Naga, or avoiding the red carpet in President Aquino’s last State of the Nation Address have raised a stir on social media.
But she said this had always been her family’s way of life even when her husband was still alive. “Taking the bus is the most economical and the most reliable. It’s also what my children are comfortable with,” she said.
“Besides I have no enemies, so I’m not afraid something might happen to me,” she said.
“It has always been known in our hometown that we’re ordinary. We’re not more special than others. We are uncomfortable with attention and with the perks of public office,” she said.
If her husband were alive, there was no way she would have entered politics, she said. “It was always clear that only one person in the family would be in politics. The only reason I entered politics was he died,” she said.
Her husband died in a plane crash off Masbate Island on Aug. 18, 2012. He was on his way to Naga to watch a daughter compete in a swimming event.

HealthCompare is an Alternative to State Regulated Health Insurance Exchanges to be Mandated by the Affordable Care Act30 November 2012 in General
States are still deciding whether or not they are having their own health insurance exchange or falling under the federal government exchange. Regardless if your state has its own or not all citizens will be required to buy health insurance, under the new law. An alternative to the government exchanges is HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site. It works with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy and enroll in the right insurance plan at the right price for them.
The Department of Health and Human Services extends the deadline for the Obamacare health insurance exchanges for states so that they may decide their intentions for the exchanges – if they decide to take part at all.
With the tit for tat still going on, it’s unclear whether or not states will be opting into the exchanges program. The President is asking the states to take on their own exchanges with the clause that policies offered will still be at the mercy of approval from the federal exchange.
Many states do not want to take part in the state-mandated exchange because it will mean costs ranging from $10 to $100 Million per year to maintain. In addition to the deep expenses, their exchanges will have to answer to higher powers leaving them essentially powerless in their own right. . . Continue Reading

In the event you did not know, NCIS season 19 episode 17 is going to bring back Joe Spano as Tobias Fornell! We’re always going to be excited anytime this character comes back on the show. Is it strange to see him without Gibbs? Sure, but at the same time we’re glad that he’s not being written out just because Mark Harmon is gone from the show.
Luckily, the writers some time ago worked to make sure there was a connection between Fornell and one of our new characters in Alden Parker, and we could see that play out in this episode.
New NCIS video! If you missed it, take a look below to get our take on the most-recent episode of the series. After you take a look at that, be sure to also SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube! We’re going to have more updates coming on the series and we don’t want you missing them.
As many longtime NCIS fans already know, Fornell was once a part of the FBI; meanwhile, Parker worked at the Bureau until earlier this season! It’s been mentioned already that the two are familiar with one another, even if there’s not the friend bond that was there with Tobias and Gibbs. We’re happy about that in a way; we never wanted Parker to be a surrogate Gibbs, and we also don’t want him to have the same relationships with some of the people around him.
For the time being, it remains to be seen why Fornell is back, but we know there’s an important case the heart of this episode (titled “Starting Over”). It is also the beginning of the crossover with NCIS: Hawaii, so there will be a chance to see a virtual appearance from Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant at some point in here, as well.
What do you want to see from Fornell’s upcoming return for NCIS season 19?
Be sure to share right now in the comments! After you do that, stick around — there are some other updates coming that you don’t want to miss. (Photo: CBS.)

Transitioning to a Healthier Diet
No way can we say that healthier eating or better diet information isn’t out and talking to us loud and clear. You’ve got Dr. Hyman, Dr. Weil, and the First Lady. So how does one really know which diet is the best? Although this can be confusing for many people who aren’t trained in nutrition or understanding scientific research, simple steps can help get you on your way. I’ve written about some of these steps and foods in past articles, but I want to reiterate a few points, as you might find yourself occasionally becoming frustrated not knowing which diet to do: Paleo/Caveman, vegetarian, vegan, Mediterranean, gluten-free, etc.
Of all the scientific studies and research available, most agree on the following:
• Refined processed sugar is bad
• Processed, refined, unnatural foods are bad
• Pesticides, additives, preservatives are bad
• Non-pastured, processed soy and grain-fed animal meat is bad
• High mercury levels in fish are bad
• Cow milk/dairy is bad (with the exception of organic/fermented yogurts and cheese for some)
• Wheat—the gliadin and glutenin in today’s form of wheat is bad
You can start to better your nutrition by first thinking—whole foods. Here are some more tips to get you on your way:
• Eat more fresh, green leafy vegetables (or just more vegetables in general) to help change your brain chemistry to stop your sugar cravings
• Don’t buy any white sugar, brown sugar, Agave (yes Agave!) but buy raw, organic honey and use sparingly. I have many other tips for getting off sugar, but that’s an entirely huge topic to include in this short column
• Try your best to not buy anything in a can, frozen (except vegetables/preferably organic), or box.
• Buy organic, pasture-raised and finished meats (and eat less—way less/eat more vegetables)
• Buy only Wild Alaskan Salmon or Copper River Salmon (to try best to avoid mercury levels)
• Try almond milk instead of cow milk (make sure it does not have carrageenan in it)
• Try a variety of organic rice cakes in place of bread (make sure they aren’t loaded with sugars)
I realize that the above tips will not come easy for everyone. Tackle one at a time. Keep a diet diary and write everything down that you eat. Also write down how you feel—physical and emotional symptoms. You will find, over time, that your brain and body will be experiencing changes. You may start to detox and have flu-like symptoms, or you may just start feeling better right away. Changing the way we eat takes time. So take time, and enjoy the journey to better health.

Green lanes are dedicated, inviting spaces for people on bikes in the roadway, protected by curbs, planters, posts or parked cars. The goal of the Green Lane Project is to support the selected cities in their efforts to develop and install these kinds of facilities.
BOULDER, Colo. = Whowired ¶ May 31, 2012 -- Top transportation officials from across the country, including Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez, headlined the launch of a new initiative to bring protected bikeways to six U.S. cities at a national kickoff event today in Chicago. The Green Lane Project (www.greenlaneproject.org), created by the national bicycling nonprofit Bikes Belong Foundation (www.bikesbelong.org), is working with Austin, Chicago, Memphis, Portland, Ore., San Francisco and Washington, D.C., to support each city's development of world-class bicycling networks over the next two years. Mendez and Bikes Belong introduced the program and announced initial plans at the event.
"We are seeing an explosion of interest in making bicycling stress-free on busy city streets," said Martha Roskowski, Green Lane Project director for Bikes Belong. "The selected cities have ambitious goals and a vision for bicycling supported by their elected officials and communities. They are poised to get projects on the ground quickly and will serve as excellent examples for other interested cities."
Green lanes are dedicated, inviting spaces for people on bikes in the roadway, protected by curbs, planters, posts or parked cars. The goal of the Green Lane Project is to support the selected cities in their efforts to develop and install these kinds of facilities. Recent studies have demonstrated their benefits nationwide. In Washington, D.C., bicycle volume tripled after protected bikeways were installed. In Portland, Ore., more than 70 percent of survey respondents said bicycling is easier and safer with these dedicated lanes, while motorists said the facilities did not make driving any slower or less convenient.
"Green lanes benefit everyone who uses city streets, not just people on bicycles," continued Roskowski. "With these facilities, people in cars and on foot know where to expect bicycles. More people on bikes eases congestion. When people ride bikes, they are healthier, and they save money."
Green Lane Project plan highlights for the six focus cities:
Austin, Texas, celebrated the opening of a green lane project in April, and has several more projects under development. The city is tackling major connections in a revitalizing downtown area. The presence of the state capitol, a major university and a thriving music scene make it a diverse and dynamic city that sees bicycling as a way to attract top-tier businesses and ease congestion.
Chicago is leading the way with a bold commitment by Mayor Rahm Emanuel to build 100 miles of new green lanes during his four-year term. These projects will significantly transform city streets and provide a model for rapid implementation. Work on several new projects began in May and will continue through the summer.
Memphis, Tenn., installed 35 miles of bike lanes in the last two years and is planning two new significant green lanes in the upcoming year. New green lanes will connect a popular rail-trail with the city's central park and help to revitalize businesses on the corridor. Mayor A.C. Wharton catalyzed this turnaround after Memphis was named one of the worst cities for riding by Bicycling magazine in 2008.
Portland, Ore., leads the nation in the development of neighborhood greenways and other innovative street designs. Its attention to detail for bicycle operations at intersections and other transition points is unmatched in the U.S.
San Francisco is quickly catching up after a three-year injunction stalled most bicycle-related improvements from 2007-2010. A new green lane in Golden Gate Park was recently completed and plans are underway for green lanes in a number of other corridors.
Washington, D.C., is a national showcase, with a steady stream of influential visitors. The city is now planning new projects near Union Station and in other areas. The red bikes of the Capital Bikeshare system are being used at least 6,000 times a day, building significant support for better places to ride.
The Project will provide updates on the progress in the six cities, best practices as they are developed, and links to other resources on their website at greenlaneproject.org. Other interested cities are invited to use the website to share their plans and progress on building green lanes.
Advisors to the Green Lane Project include the New York City Department of Transportation, the League of American Bicyclists and the National Association of City Transportation Officials. Funding partners include the SRAM Cycling Fund, Volkswagen of America, Inc, Interbike, Taiwan Bicycle Exporters Association and the Bikes Belong Coalition.

Tax Exemption on Capital Gains
Taxpayers can reap the benefit of tax exemption on capital gains if these are invested in various schemes introduced by the government. The Income Tax (I-T) Act grants total/ partial exemption of capital gains under various schemes. The benefit of exemption spans across varied capital gains arising on transfer of any long-term capital asset, i.e., capital gains arising from the sale of a house property, agricultural land, compulsory acquisition of land, plot of land, etc.
Exemption can also be claimed on sale of any other long-term capital asset (other than aforesaid). However, the claim of exemption is primarily dependent on type of long-term capital asset and secondly, on the underlying asset in the investment undertaken. Accordingly, the taxpayer becomes entitled to claim exemption under Sections 54, 54B, 54D, 54EC, 54F, 54GB of the Act.
A taxpayer can claim exemptions under the following sections:
- Sec 54 of IT Act says that if the taxpayer is an individual or a member of Hindu Undivided Family, the capital gain is obtained as a result of transfer of a long term asset such as building or land or even residential house shall be exempted if the taxpayer purchases another property within a year or 2 years and if he constructs another residential house in India within 3 years after the transfer is made, then he will not be charged for capital gain tax. This exemption is not applicable to companies, firms or LLP.
- Sec 54B of IT Act discusses the condition for availing exemptions by the individual or a HUF. This section is made available only for the sale of agricultural land. The agricultural land must be used for the agricultural purpose for at least 2 years before the date of transfer by the individual. If the taxpayer buys another land within 2 years from the transfer date, the exemption is applicable. He has no rights to reinvest in agricultural lands. If the taxpayer claims exemptions and if he transfers the new agricultural land within 3 years from the acquisition date, then the exemption will be withdrawn. It is applicable for both long and short term capital gains.
- Sec 54EC of IT Act provides that if the taxpayer within 6 months from the sale date/ transfer date has invested the capital gain in long term specified bonds issued by NHAI and REC or by the central government for a period of minimum 3 years (5 years if it is issued on or after 1st April 2018) shall be exempted to maximum limit of Rs.50 Lakhs. If the taxpayer has converted the property into cash or advances as a loan within 3 years from the acquisition date, the capital gain exemption will be withdrawn.
- Sec 54F of IT Act provides that the taxpayers are exempted for the capital gains for the transfer of any capital asset other than residential house and the net consideration has been re-invested in purchase of one residential house within a year before the transfer or within 2 years after the transfer, If the taxpayer possess more than one residential property, then he will be deemed from exemption. If he constructs an addition residential property within 3 years from the transfer date, then he will be exempted from capital gain tax.
Thus the capital gain Tax helps in reducing the future tax rate and improves investment returns. This puts an end for double taxation.
What is the amount of Exemption available under Section 54 of the Income Tax act?
The amount of exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act for the long-term capital gains will be the lower of:
- Capital gains arising on transfer of residential house. Or
- Investment made in purchase or construction of a new residential house property. Hence, the balance capital gains (If any) will be taxable.
Options for Tax Exemption on Capital Gains
1. Sale of assets other than House Property
A blanket exemption is available upon sale of any type of long-term capital asset where the amount of capital gains is invested in specified bonds within six months of date of transfer the asset, which was held for a period of three years or more. Alternatively, another option exists for those who desire to invest in a residential property and not in specified bonds to claim exemption of gains arising from sale of any long-term capital asset except a residential house. Such taxpayers can claim exemption if they purchase a residential house property one year before or two years after the transfer of the property or construct within three years a residential house.
Capital gain exemption is not restricted to investment in a house property. Three different alternatives:
- Specified bonds,
- Residential house,
- Equity shares
These are the options available for taxpayers selling a residential house property depending upon their choice and fulfillment of conditions. Similarly, exemption on capital gains arising from sale of agricultural land, compulsory acquisition of land is available upon investment in the specified asset.
2. Complications in claiming Exemption
Many taxpayers have encountered difficulty in availing these exemptions. Certain positions are unclear and may be litigated by the tax authorities. Joint ownership can be a possible area of litigation wherein tax authorities may seek to deny the benefit on the basis of this single contention. Taxpayers have usually achieved favourable view on this issue from authorities at a higher level.

Alphabet, Bold & Triangle
The Dutch studio Raw Color ( Daniera ter Haar & Christoph Brach) based in Eindhoven was commissioned with a graphic design project applied to six transformers for high voltage current located in different neighbourhoods close to the centre of Chaumont. This is a project associating the Town of Chaumont and the electricity provider Enedis. Alphabet, Bold & Triangle features three graphic proposals to be discovered in the public space.
This permanent installation initiates the qualification of urban space in Chaumont by means of graphic interventions on a long term basis. It is part of an associative approach with the actors of the Town in order to enhance the urban environment for the inhabitants and to value the discipline by commissions to be implemented in situ.

CBP opens new processing facility to collect biometrics at Omaha airport
U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently opened a new processing facility at TAC Air in Omaha to provide international travelers on private planes with a more streamlined process when checking items, according to a report by KIOS.
The facility now offers the full security measures required by the 9/11 Commission, including biometrics authentication technology, enabling CBP to accommodate more passengers at one time.
“We ask the same questions, we have the Customs Declaration, and we have the ability for those who need it to capture the biometrics,” said William Ferrara, director of field operations for the Chicago Field Office. “And then once we’re done with our inspection, and everything is fine, the passengers can leave and get back on the aircraft, or come here.”
Ferrara said flights that were not previously authorized to land in Omaha are now allowed at the new facility.
For example, if a flight had a foreign national on board, it would have to find another airport at which to land because Omaha did not have the required security measures to process foreign national passengers.
Upon landing, Customs officials can now meet the plane in a secure area on the tarmac, and bring the passengers inside the facility to process their items.
If necessary, officials are able to search, interview, and take custody of passengers in the holding rooms.
Last year, U.S. CBP in Omaha processed a total of 300 flights. They have already surpassed this number with 400 flights.
Previously reported, the Custom and Border Protection’s Entry/Exit Transformation (EXT) Office are piloting several programs to make the process of collecting biometric data from foreign travelers entering and leaving the United States less invasive.

Dog Days of Winter
Even fur coats can’t keep pets warm
Baby, it’s cold outside. These record low temperatures are hard on all of us, people and pets. Puppies, kittens and shorthaired animals are especially vulnerable in cold weather.
Keep your pets inside except for quick bathroom breaks. Both dogs and cats can get frostbite. Ears, tails and footpads are most susceptible.
Outdoor cats may seek shelter near warm car engines and sleep under the hoods. When the engine starts, the fan belt can injure or kill a cat. If outdoor cats roam your neighborhood, make noise and bang on your car hood before starting the engine to let the cat escape.
Don’t let dogs off-leash in the snow or ice lest they become disoriented. More dogs are lost in winter than any other season.
When your dog comes in from a walk in the sleet, snow or ice, wipe down its legs and stomach. Dogs can ingest salt or chemicals when grooming. Paw pads can also crack and bleed from snow or encrusted ice.
Never leave your dog unattended in the car. Fur coats don’t mean dogs can tolerate near-arctic temperatures. A car holds the cold just like a refrigerator; your pet could freeze to death.
Damp and cold weather can aggravate arthritis in dogs and cats just as in humans.
Canine clothing can help keep your dog warm. Small or toy dogs, dogs with short hair and old or sick dogs are especially susceptible to cold. One of the warning signs of a cold dog is shivering. Dog jackets, snuggies and sweaters will keep the shivers away.
Antifreeze is poison for pets. Clean up any spills and consider using products that contain propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol.
Ice melts can be hazardous for pets, too. Morton Safe-T-Pet was developed with veterinarians to be safer for furry friends. Its salt- and chloride-free formula won’t irritate pets’ paws or stomach.
Even inside, pets can get cold. Offer a warm place to sleep that’s off the floor and away from drafts. A comfortable pet bed with a blanket is pet-perfect.

From the June 9, 2016, WWAY 3 ABC (Wilmington, NC) by Taylor Yakowenko.
Four exhibits will be unveiled next week at the Carolina Beach Town Hall on US-421. The Friends of Fort Fisher were instrumental in getting these exhibits. They were originally a part of the collection of the long-closed Blockade Runner Museum in Carolina Beach, according to Friends of Fort Fisher executive director Paul Laird.
The diorama inserts had been in storage in the basement of the Cape Fear Museum in Wilmington for over 30 years and not accessible to the public.
I remember seeing these exhibits often as the Blockade Runner Museum was a major hang out for me back when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, the Carolina Beach Town Hall is located in the building that used to be the Blockade Runner Museum, so, in effect, the exhibits are returning to their former home.

Emma Watson was among several Harry Potter cast members who paid tribute this weekend to her beloved co-star Robbie Coltrane, who died on Friday at the age of 72.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Watson shared a sweet photo of her and Coltrane meeting while filming HBO Max’s Harry Potter reunion special last year. In the fantasy films, Watson played the brilliant young witch Hermione Granger, while Coltrane played the gentle half-giant wizard Rubeus Hagrid.
“Robbie was the funniest uncle I’ve ever had, but most of all he was deeply caring and compassionate towards me, both as a child and as an adult,” wrote Watson, who was 11 when the first Harry Potter film took place the cinemas came out in 2001.
“His talent was so immense that it made sense that he was playing a giant – he could fill ANY room with his brilliance.”
Watson and Coltrane shared several scenes across the eight Harry Potter films – including an emotional sequence in which Hagrid comforts Hermione after Hogwarts bully Draco Malfoy calls her a “dirty little mudblood” (a fictional insult aimed at witches and wizards) named with non-magical parents).
According to Watson’s Instagram post, Coltrane was just as benevolent off-screen as his fan-favorite character was on-screen.
“Robbie, if I’m ever as kind to myself as you were on a movie set, I promise to do it on your behalf and in your memory,” she said.
“You know how much I adore and admire you. I will really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughter and your hugs. You made us a family. Know that you were that for us.”
Other Harry Potter graduates honoring Coltrane this week included Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Oliver Phelps (George Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), David Thewlis (Remus Lupin), Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick) and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
“Heartbroken to hear Robbie is gone,” Grint wrote on Instagram. “I will never forget the smell of cigars and beard glue – a wonderful combination. Nobody else on this planet could do that [have] played Hagrid, only Robbie. … A man with a huge heart who still looked out for us decades later.”
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and work with him and am deeply saddened that he has passed away,” Radcliffe said in a statement. “He was an incredible actor and a lovely man.”
In addition to the Harry Potter films, Coltrane has appeared in other films and TV series such as Cracker, The Comic Strip Presents and Tutti Frutti, as well as in the James Bond episodes Goldeneye and The World. Is not enough.”
“There was no better Hagrid,” Watson wrote on Instagram. “You made it a pleasure to be Hermione.”

Everyone who is engaged in performing occupational exposure assessment to chemicals sometimes faced with the need to search for or to derive limit values. The estimated exposure can be compared with these limit values to establish whether the work situation is sufficiently controlled.
There are different types of limit values. In Europe, there are three types of occupational exposure limits (OELs) for chemical agents: OELs set at the European level, at the national level or by companies themselves. However, regulations for setting OELs may vary and that is why for one substance several different OELs may exist within Europe. National OELs may be different from the community OELs and can vary per country. In addition to OELs, substances can be classified based on their possible carcinogenic properties. Furthermore, there are Derived No-Effect Level (DNELs) for workers' inhalation exposure, introduced under the REACH regulation.
What exactly is a limit value?
An OEL is the maximum allowed concentration of a given substance in the air at the workplace. We distinguish between time-weighted averages measured over an 8-hour period (8-h TWA), short-term exposure limits for a 15 min period (15-min STEL) or Ceiling.
Methods to derive limit values
There are different kinds of methods that are being used worldwide to derive the limit values. There are many differences in their derivation processes, which depend on the legislation under which they are derived, the actors performing the scientific assessment and the chemical substance.
In Europe, the methods for derivation of OELs by SCOEL (EU) and by the EU Member states may vary. SCOEL established a methodology to derive OELs and STELs whereas ECHA established guidance for deriving DNELs. The routes for final regulatory adoption can be summaries as:
• OELs established based only on scientific considerations
• OELs established based on scientific assessments that also take into account socio-economic and technical feasibility factors
How to use limit values in Stoffenmanager®
In Stoffenmanager®, several types of limit values can currently be assigned to components: 8-hour TWA (time-weighted average), 15-minutes or Ceiling. Aside from that, companies with production sites in several countries can also assign multiple national occupational exposure limit values
Would you like to know more?
In the “Stoffenmanager®” training, you will get practical tips how to search for limit values. You will also learn how to derive a limit value if no limit value can be found in any database. The connection with the use of Stoffenmanager® will also be explained. During the training, whether the situation is sufficiently controlled or not will also be discussed after performing a risk assessment.

Turkey’s Association of Protestant Churches published its annual report revealing that hate speech against Christians in the country has increased in both conventional and social media, Hurriyet reports.
According to the 2016 Rights Violations Report, hate speech against Protestants persisted throughout 2016, in addition to physical attacks on Protestant individuals and their churches. It noted that hate speech reached extreme levels during the Christmas season.
“In one school a baptism document was verbally demanded. The use of the exemption right [from religion classes] is becoming more difficult day by day,” stated the report.
The report said hate speech against Christians was conveyed through billboard advertisements, posters, leaflets, and online. There was even an amateur theatrical street play where a group of men wearing traditional costumes held another man dressed as Santa Claus at gunpoint. Unfortunately, the government seems to dismiss this anti-Christian bigotry.
The Association of Protestant Churches also cited several incidents of institutional discrimination against Christians in schools. Cases are occurring in which Christian and Jewish students are forced to recite the Shahada, or Islamic profession of faith, and attend Islamic schooling despite being registered as non-Muslims, Breitbart reports.
“In one school a baptism document was verbally demanded. The use of the exemption right [from religion classes] is becoming more difficult day by day,” stated the report. The 2016 report added that many students had been bullied by classmates due to their faith and were encouraged to convert to Islam.

NYU to make dorms more accessible after Justice Dept. complaint
After reaching an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, NYU will expand the accessibility of its student housing within the next five years.
Nov 30, 2022
NYU will begin a five-year effort to make its housing facilities more accessible after reaching an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Some of the university’s housing facilities had previously been found to be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The ADA requires that facilities owned by institutions like NYU must not have barriers to access for people with disabilities. Housing is required to have accessible bathrooms, water fountains and walkways. NYU’s steps to address noncompliance issues are outlined in the agreement, which was announced by Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York, on Tuesday, Nov. 22.
“The out-of-court agreement resolves a compliance review during which the U.S. Attorney’s Office identified various aspects of NYU’s student housing facilities that were not in compliance with Title III of the ADA and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, including violations of the new construction provisions of the ADA and barriers to access to existing facilities,” the announcement of the agreement reads.
To find out which of its buildings are not in compliance with the ADA, the university agreed to first conduct a survey of its accommodation facilities over the next four months. After the survey is complete, NYU will update its website to include information designed to assist students with disabilities in securing and maintaining accessible housing accommodations.
NYU will also implement an access plan for on-campus housing, which will detail the actions the university will take to address the issues identified in the survey. A draft of the access plan is required to be made publicly available to students, faculty and staff on the university’s website over one year after the agreement’s effective date.
The university is also required to update its emergency evacuation and sheltering plans. NYU agreed to implement these changes across the university’s more than 4,000 housing units, which house approximately 12,000 students each semester.
Additionally, the agreement requires NYU to hire an ADA student housing coordinator, who will ensure the university meets the terms of the agreement. They will serve as a liaison between representatives from NYU offices, including facilities management and residential life, as well as the Office of the General Counsel. The ADA Student Housing Coordinator, along with other staff, will be required to complete additional training on accessibility requirements.
NYU spokesperson John Beckman told WSN that the university is committed to making its student housing fully compliant with the ADA.
“This agreement allows NYU to better meet those commitments over the next five years through careful surveying of its student housing system and making additional changes to improve accessibility,” Beckman said. “We think this is a good outcome.”
A similar agreement was established earlier this week between the Department of Justice and the University of California, Berkeley. The agreement looks to resolve allegations of noncompliance with the ADA, and requires the university to make online content — including live-streamed or recorded lectures, conferences and university events — accessible to individuals with auditory, visual or manual disabilities for the next three and a half years. NYU is the second university within the span of two days to address accessibility concerns and ADA noncompliance.
“The ADA requires colleges and universities to ensure that no individual is discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of their services and facilities,” Williams said in his announcement. “We are pleased that NYU has committed to improving accessibility within the University’s student housing facilities and hope that other colleges and universities will follow suit and increase access to their facilities for individuals with disabilities.”

Coronavirus: Twitter boss pledges $1bn for relief effort
Sunbd Desk || Published: 2020-04-08 00:55:03 || Updated: 2020-04-08 00:55:03
Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter and payment app Square, has said he will donate $1bn (£810m) towards efforts to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Mr Dorsey, the donation represented approximately 28% of his wealth.
He made the announcement on Twitter, writing that the “needs are increasingly urgent”.
Mr Dorsey did not lay out exactly where the funds would be sent to help in the battle against Covid-19.
In the US there is a shortage of ventilators and personal protective equipment, and business and individuals are also struggling economically.
Mr Dorsey will use shares he owns in Square to fund the donations which will be distributed through the Start Small Foundation.
The 43-year-old is the chief executive of both Twitter and Square.
He said he was using shares of Square and not Twitter because he owned “a lot more” of them. The shares will be sold over time, which could impact on their value and the overall size of the donation.
Once the Covid-19 pandemic has been “disarmed”, the funds will go toward girls health and education and research into universal basic income.
In a six-part Twitter thread, Mr Dorsey said he wanted to donate to causes where he could see an impact in his lifetime.
The donations will be made through a limited liability company. It is a tool many wealth individuals use for donations, but is often criticized for a lack of transparency.
Mr Dorsey sought to get ahead of this charge by posting a link to a google doc which will publicly track the funds donations.
The Twitter boss is not the only tech billionaire to pledge part of their wealth towards coronavirus-related efforts.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has committed $30m, the bulk of which is focused on efforts to create a treatment.
Amazon’s Jeff Bezos has donated $100m to food banks in the US to help those struggling with hunger during this period.
Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook announced in March the company would donate medical supplies to Italy which has been hit hard by the virus.

It is always a fun privilege
getting a peek into the home of an artist
cerreus cactus at full moon
This place that helps them create,
this refuge that feeds their work.
where experiments with color and mishaps are concurrent.
where life and art intermingle.
Some artist's homes are modest.. Some are amazingly pristine and carefully ordered with drawing spaces, painting galleries, and meditation zones.
Some are a study of chaos,
but in all of them... the artists are inspired to beautifully create.
and so....we continue in the series...
Enter Local artist Lou Mullan.
currently working on her website
Beloved former art teacher, Creator, Dancer, Soul of a Gypsy
Color Whisperer. People Gatherer.
upon stepping up to her 'keep the evil spirits away blue' cottage
a particularly striking shade
you are met by a totem of gathered faces
created, in part, by those of us at one of her parties
given a handful of clay...we created faces as we talked....ate...drank.
Inside her abode is a kaleidoscope of color
with art mostly hers on the walls
jewel colored glass languidly dangling in front of kitchen windows
walls of art books
Everything is a canvas...as depicted by the back of the vintage
dining room hutch.
Now hidden. But the entire back is alight with this painting
grapefruit groves at sunrise
looking closely...one can see the swirls of color behind the Asian relic
cookie jars collected for decades line her kitchen...and to be fair...the wine and liquor bottles
were from another fun people gathering this weekend.
The bathroom even houses favorite art
this of collected shells....with faces.
A seashell party
if she had a spirit animal...It would probably be the crow
prominent in her work
almost human in their expression
Art and books...align the new reading room
once her studio...in the process of moving
family heirloom maps of their old stomping grounds
in upstate NY awaiting their chance to fill the walls...
Her studio now in the updated garage
often filled with the children of her students...her grandchildren...
the legacy continues
young talent Drew
Outside Lou's home and studio is the beautiful and natural tangle of what is old Florida
fern pathways walking away from the provocative blue
seemingly adopting the color
The mingling of art and home...
Design has to work.
Art does not.
...Thank You Lou.

text: The three dots tattoo, which is sometimes referred to as the “temple point” or “Amulet of the Sacred Triad”, is often seen as a sign of representing one’s commitment to a certain philosophy or to certain values. The three dots are meant to symbolize a connection to a triad of being – the mind, the body, and the spirit – and stand as a reminder of that connection. Some may also get the three dots tattoo to represent the struggle of life: the past, the present, and the future, or for mental, physical, and spiritual awareness. Alternatively, the three dots are seen to represent two people and the bond that exists between them – two dots with a third dot at the top in the center. Thus, the tattoo can symbolize a connection or relationship between two people, or a sense of unconditional love or companionship.
