The Labour Party will this week back a report calling for the British Business Bank to be given an expanded role as it hopes to take a decisive step in its efforts to be perceived as the most pro-business force in British politics.
Sky News has learnt that a review commissioned by shadow City minister Tulip Siddiq and aided by nearly a dozen City grandees will say that the state-owned bank should be allowed to more actively finance fast-growing British companies.
The review, in which Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, has also been heavily involved, will underline the Labour party's conviction that the BBB should become a much more potent force in backing UK-based companies with significant growth potential.
It will be issued shortly after a separate report by the public affairs executive Iain Anderson that will call for business policy to be more centrally coordinated from "the heart of government".
Together, the two documents will seek to mark another major stride away from the perception under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn that it was hostile to private enterprise.
On Thursday, Labour will hold a business conference in central London that it said would be attended by more than 400 people, including executives from companies including Airbus, AstraZeneca, Goldman Sachs and Google.
Jonny Reynolds, the shadow business secretary, has pledged that a future Labour administration would convene an annual business and investment summit to draw more capital to the UK.
"Labour is the party of business," Mr Reynolds said on Sunday.
"A future Labour government will work with wealth creators to ensure our economy is growing again, with good jobs and opportunities in every part of our country.
"It's clear business wants to hear from Labour, and we want to work with business in government to ensure this partnership delivers money and opportunity is flowing into Britain."
A Labour spokesman declined to comment on Mr Anderson's report prior to it being issued to media outlets under embargo.
The party did not respond to an enquiry about the financial services review orchestrated by Ms Siddiq.

WHITBY -- "Sooner or later, somebody is going to get killed."
When John Kolodziej delivered that grim warning at a town hall meeting in April, he hoped it would prompt swift action from council to address speeding issues in the downtown.
Instead, the Whitby resident says he was deeply saddened and disappointed when just a few months later, on Aug. 27, an elderly pedestrian was killed after being struck by a vehicle at one of the intersections highlighted at that meeting.
"It's almost like a premonition of what we knew what was going to happen and there's more coming," says Mr. Kolodziej, who approached the Town in the spring with a petition from residents in his neighbourhood, requesting that a stop sign be installed at the corner of Centre Street South and Trent Street West.
The whole downtown area around us hasn't been upda
"We're still struggling with the design and the fact that there are no painted lines in front of the stop signs," he adds.
"It's so antiquated. The whole downtown area around us hasn't been updated for probably 50 years and we're still running that way but the area can't handle the traffic that we're getting now."
Mr. Kolodziej's request to council came a month after Whitby couple Rod and Marie Clarke also pleaded with the Town to change the two-way stop sign at the intersection of Centre Street South and Dunlop Street West to a four-way stop to help curb speeding issues.
At least seven collisions have occurred at that intersection in the past five years, including the most recent incident last month that resulted in the death of 89-year-old May Taylor of Whitby.
"At that speed, and with no four-way stops, we predicted something worse would happen and now it has," Mr. Clarke told This Week in a recent interview.
Staff from the Town of Whitby's public works department are currently conducting a study of the downtown core, including the design and distribution of stop signs.
"With the expansion of the GO station, how busy Iroquois Park has become over the years, and people getting to and from work and school, the traffic flow through that area just doesn't work anymore," says Centre Ward Councillor Michael Emm.
"The area was never designed for the volume of traffic that we have now."
Councillor Emm says he will work to ensure the concerns of area residents, many of them seniors, don't go unheard.
"We have so many seniors living just south of the library there in the apartment buildings and they have to make their way down to our seniors' centre but there just aren't the proper stop signs and traffic flow for them to be able to do that safely."

Stepan Safarian, who heads Zharangutyun’s parliamentary faction, said the issue will not be on the agenda of an unfolding dialogue between the HAK and the Armenian government. He argued that President Serzh Sarkisian and his political allies have given no indication that they are ready to call snap parliamentary or presidential elections.
“Since there have been no such assurances, I have no reason to conclude that this issue is on the agenda of the dialogue, no matter what the Armenian National Congress says,” Safarian told a news conference.
Senior members of Sarkisian’s Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) have repeatedly stated that Armenia’s parliament and president will complete their terms in office in 2012 and 2013 respectively. HAK representatives downplay these statements.
The HAK’s top leader, Levon Ter-Petrosian, said on Thursday that his alliance is already engaged in an “open dialogue” with the Sarkisian administration. He said that was made possible by Sarkisian’s decision to essentially meet the alliance’s three main demands.
Those include the lifting of a de facto government ban on opposition rallies in Yerevan’s Liberty Square, a government promise to conduct a more objective inquiry into the March 2008 post-election violence and the release of all “political prisoners.”
Late last month Sarkisian ordered law-enforcement officials to conduct a “more meticulous” investigation into the unrest. He also hinted at the impending release of Ter-Petrosian loyalists remaining in prison.
Ter-Petrosian declared afterwards that all of them will be freed by Armenia’s independence holiday to be marked on May 28.
Armenia -- Minister of justice Hrayr Tovmasian at a press conference in Yerevan, 17Jan2011.
Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasian declined to confirm this as he spoke to RFE/RL’s Armenian service on Friday. Asked how justified the HAK leader’s optimism is, Tovmasian said, “I know but can’t tell you.”
“Wait until May 28 or until after May 28 and you will see what happens,” he added.
Tovmasian also made the point that a renewed unrest probe ordered by the president will take some time. “Do not expect everything to be done in one day,” he said.
Zaruhi Postanjian, another Zharangutyun parliamentarian, questioned the Armenian government’s stated commitment to punishing those responsible for the deaths of ten people on March 1-2, 2008. She said Sarkisian issued the order to senior law-enforcement officials who have sought to cover up those deaths.
“These individuals have for years diverted our state from the democratic path,” Postanjian told journalists. “They are symbols of injustice.”
Safarian agreed, saying that Zharangutyun does not take Sarkisian’s pledges seriously. “It is [the HAK’s] right to trust in those assurances as a serious guarantee, and it is our right not to trust in them,” he said.
Relations between the two opposition forces have deteriorated dramatically since Zharangutyun Chairman Raffi Hovannisian’s recent hunger strike in Liberty Square. Ter-Petrosian controversially shunned Hovannisian as he rallied thousands of supporters there on March 17.
Hovannisian afterwards accused Armenia’s first president of arrogance and intolerance and suggested that the HAK is ready to cut far-reaching deals with the Armenian government. Ter-Petrosian and his associates rejected the accusations.


Air monitoring measures the quantity of airborne fibres in any given environment. There are a few different types of monitoring to suit different situations, some of which are outlined below. The methodology is roughly the same in each instance. A pump is connected to a filter head by tubing. The pump maintains a steady flow, pulling air through a filter mounted in the filter head. After a given period of time a certain volume of air can said to have been sampled. The filter is removed and examined for ‘respirable’ fibres under a microscope. The number of fibres counted and the volume of air sampled lead to the calculation of a concentration of airborne fibre – most often expressed as fibres per millilitres of air (f/ml).

That cold feeling inside your body, when a fist hits you that belongs to the person you thought you loved. Sadly over 1.5 million high school boys and girls admit to physically harming somebody they are in love with. (“11 Facts About Teen Dating Violence | DoSomething| Volunteer for Social Change”). How would you feel being in a abusive relationship, causing emotional depression not being able to get rid of.
They are not aware of the depression, the spouses control on the relationship, and the challenges they will face. What is depression? Depression is “feelings of despondency and dejection, with self-doubt.” Does someone close toyou constantly insult you or humiliate you? If said yes, that may be the cause of your depression you might tend to have. Depression affects the quality of your relationships, and the features of your relationship that affect your level of depression.(“Partners in Prevention”). The quality of our lives depends on the quality of our relationships with others.
For many people, it’s difficult to face the fact that depression is a real problem, which mostly results with the spouse controlling you. I don’t think anybody wants to be in a relationship where there being controlled or asked what to do. Controlling relationships are so much that it can be hard to recognize them for who they are. Being controlled by a spouse is one reason they would want to leave the relationship, like putting threats against you or using guilt as a tool. Whether controlling behavior leads to more severe emotional or physical abuse or not, it is not a healthy situation. (“20 Signs Your Partner Is Controlling”).
Mostly everybody knows that leaving an abusive relationship causes a lot of challenges. Even when someone chooses to leave a relationship, they may be forced to stay because of shelter or no where to go. Women who end up in a abusive relationships, may not know the effect until after they enter, which causes a hard time to leave. Even when victims do finally decide to escape their unhealthy partnerships, significant hurdles often remain ( (“GoodTherapy – Therapy, Find a Therapist or Marriage Counselor”). When the abuser is no longer getting abused and in a safe place, she can then develop a more independent self. Abusive relationships do damage life and the outside world in many different ways.
Most teens don’t even know what to do and the situation just becomes more and more realistic. Most of the time you’re not alone, although you feel as if you’re alone – Will Zeus.You may forgive, but you won’t forget, all of this happens for a reason. Ending an abusive relationship is very hard and so is being in one.

I’m sitting here now, typing this out and remembering the good old days of Flash-based gaming. Back when the likes of Newgrounds ruled the Internet when it was still in its infancy. We of a certain generation recall greatly the freshness of the World Wide Web and the free game portals that made browsing colourful and interesting. What a time to be alive.
Reminiscing was an initial reaction in this instance, as I couldn’t help but recall a simpler time on the Internet while playing Mission Critical Studios’ new game, Crab Cakes Rescue, a cutesy puzzle platformer that transports us back across the ages to an era when video games held onto the basic principle that fun and simple should be top priorities.
I mean, yeah present-day indie games days are marvellous creations that cater to a wide audience, push the limits of imagination and have deep, rich stories. Well-received titles by all means and they deserve all the accolades they can get, but sometimes you just want something that strips away the subtlety and nuanced characteristics of many award-winning games and presents something that keeps the genre basic and childlike.
Crab Cakes Rescue does not dwell on artistic introductions and deep-rooted plot points. Simply put, you play as a hermit crab in this most innocent and colourful of titles. Your girlfriend has been kidnapped and you must press on in order to rescue her.
And that’s it. That’s the story. If you want to try and read into it, feel free. But it’s definitely not story that this game leans towards. It wants action and adventure from the start and the little plot device serves only as a minor incentive and a means of injecting personality into the game. To be honest, halfway through playing I’d forgotten there even was a story. Not that it really mattered, though.
You begin each level on a cartoon-y backdrop on some brightly-coloured beach. Each one adorned with platforms and dangers. You must pick up the key that’s placed haphazardly somewhere on the level to open the exit door located on the other side of the beach. Along the way, you collect coins, avoid lava pits and dodge blue globules of seagull crap (at least, I think that’s what they are).
Here’s the kicker. While in just about every other game on the planet, you’re required to avoid dying as much as possible, Crab Cakes Rescue actually requires a little bit of death on the part of the player. Each time you die (you have 12 lives for each level), a little box is placed where you fell and the little crab protagonist shrinks slightly.
The purpose then is to decide the best way to shed your shell in order to progress. Can’t quite reach that platform? Die once to leave a box underneath as a boost. Can’t quite fit underneath a particular area? Shed one or two shells to shrink yourself down to the right size. The key is make sure you have the right amount of lives left so that you can complete each level.
This is really all that can be said for gameplay. I don’t wish to be repetitive, but it really is such a simple game to get into that it’s difficult to delve into any sort of critique. The controls are a simple WASD affair to move and jump, and while there are times when it feels overly sensitive, it can’t really go wrong.
There is also the option to purchase add-on powers for your crustacean friend, though the game doesn’t really make too much mention of this. They were introduced during the tutorial, but it wasn’t until I was most of the way through the first segment that I realized there was an in-game shop in the pause menu.
It’s difficult to know how to draw this to any sort of satisfactory conclusion. I imagine it would be a bit like being a food critic, tasked with writing up their expert opinion on the most highly-rated Michelin restaurants in the world…and then one day being asked to review a Kit-Kat chocolate bar.
I liked Crab Cakes Rescue for the pure reason that it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. “Here I am,” it says, “I’m a fun and quirky platform puzzle game. Take me as I am.” And that is exactly what I did. It doesn’t present itself as anything other than this virtuous download that can be picked up and played by anybody, and for that, I would definitely recommend that you check it out.
This review is based on the PC version of the game, which was supplied to us.

2020 Democrats Back Funding Abortion Overseas With Taxpayer Dollars
Several of the party’s 2020 candidates back repeal of the Helms Amendment, even though a recent poll found 75% of Americans oppose such funding.
WASHINGTON — As the 2020 Democratic presidential race heats up, many of the candidates have called for the repeal of a long-standing ban on the use of U.S. taxpayer funds for abortion overseas.
Seven of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates recently confirmed their opposition to the Helms Amendment, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Cory Booker of New Jersey, entrepreneur Andrew Yang, author Marianne Williamson and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke.
Permitting taxpayer dollars to fund abortions overseas also was included recently on the wish list of a coalition of abortion groups and was added to the Democratic Party platform in 2016.
The Helms Amendment, named for its author, the late Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., says that “no foreign assistance funds may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions.” It was enacted as a permanent amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1973 shortly after abortion was legalized in the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision.
The amendment has long been attacked by abortion advocacy groups who petitioned the Obama administration to repeal the amendment or clarify that it does not apply in cases of rape or incest. In 2016, both Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., came out in opposition to the Helms Amendment after a major push from abortion activists to do so.
Sanders went further on the matter, with his campaign stating that as president he would sign an executive order permitting U.S. foreign-aid funds to go toward abortion services and repeal the Hyde Amendment’s domestic restriction on taxpayer-funded abortion.
“Sen. Sanders believes health care is a human right and reproductive care, including the right to abortion, is a fundamental part of health care,” a Sanders 2020 campaign representative commented. “As president, he will repeal the Trump administration’s global gag rule, which is a disgraceful assault on women’s rights and sign an executive order to allow for U.S. foreign aid to pay for abortions services. He will also work with Congress to permanently repeal both the Hyde and Helms Amendments.”
Among those candidates who have not commented on the Helms Amendment is former Vice President Joe Biden, who supported it in the past during his time in the Senate. Biden himself sponsored an amendment in 1981 that prohibited the use of foreign-aid funding in biomedical research involving abortion.
However, Biden’s recent reversal on the Hyde Amendment could be an indication of his latest stance on Helms. The majority of the 2020 Democrats have largely backed taxpayer-funded abortion by opposing the Hyde Amendment.
While Democratic candidates are opposing the Helms Amendment, current polling on the issue shows that the average American does not want to fund abortion overseas. A January Marist poll found that 75% of Americans opposed taxpayer funding of abortion abroad.
Melanie Israel, a research associate at the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at the Heritage Foundation, told the Register that the separation of taxpayer funding from abortion was a concern even before the legalization of abortion.
“The first restriction that we really think about now was in the Title X family-planning program, and that came about in 1970, which, of course, was before Roe v. Wade,” Israel pointed out. “So even before the court had created this constitutional right to abortion, policymakers on both sides of the aisle had already started drawing that line of keeping taxpayer funding separate from abortion.”
Israel said that the Democratic candidates’ opposition to the Helms Amendment could be due to the increased presence in the party by abortion advocacy groups, citing NARAL’s president, Ilyse Hogue, even weighing a run for Democratic National Committe chair in 2016.
“These groups, like Planned Parenthood and NARAL — they’ve been really targeting to get their people into those party structures, so that they’re able to have the input on what’s actually in the platform and really flex their muscles and exert influence that way,” she noted. “When you actually poll the American people … taxpayer-funded abortion is not a popular position.”
Tom McClusky, the president of March for Life Action, noted that a party’s platform usually shows “the more partisan side of an issue, except it’s unusual for the candidates to come along and echo the platform,” as is the case with the 2020 candidates’ public opposition to Helms Amendment.
He added that at the time the Helms Amendment was implemented it was regarded as “low-hanging fruit” because “most people generally have opposed taxpayer funding of abortions; they definitely oppose taxpayer funding of foreign abortions.”
Tom Shakely, the chief engagement officer at Americans United for Life, agreed, telling the Register that the 2020 Democrats were making an extreme break against long-established bipartisan bans on taxpayer-funded abortion.
“When Roe was imposed on America in 1973 by seven men on the U.S. Supreme Court, elected officials responded by making clear that no American taxpayer would be expected to fund abortion overseas and that no taxpayer dollars could be used to either coerce or motivate anyone to perform abortions overseas,” he emphasized. “That’s what the simple, commonsense Helms Amendment makes clear.”
“It has been the American consensus for nearly a half-century, and it’s a sign of the needless extremism of our time that some politicians believe that trashing the Helms Amendment and spending precious American tax dollars to promote abortion internationally makes any fiscal or ethical sense,” he said.
Israel pointed out that after the Trump administration expanded the Reagan-era Mexico City Policy, which bans taxpayer funding to groups that provide or promote abortion, other countries like Canada expanded their international abortion-related aid funding.
“There are still many, many countries out there who are vehemently in support of these radical pro-abortion policies, who want to go and push those policies in Latin America and African countries where abortion is deeply unpopular,” she said. “It’s also really important for Americans to hear from the voices of people in those countries who want to push back on that kind of cultural colonialism of Western nations trying to impose this radical view of abortion on countries that really aren’t receptive to the idea in the first place.”
A 2014 comprehensive Pew Research survey in Latin America found that the majority of Latin Americans are opposed to abortion. Just 5% thought it should be legal in Paraguay. Uruguay had the highest percentage of people thinking it should be legal, at 54%, but elsewhere the numbers ranged from just 7% supporting its legality in Guatemala to 20% in Bolivia and 47% in Chile.
Abortion is similarly unpopular in Sub-Saharan African countries, where, according to Pew, there is “strong opposition.” For example, in Uganda, just 12% of women and 13% of men think abortion is “morally acceptable.”
Greg Schleppenbach, the associate director of the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, also told the Register that “the vast majority of the countries that are often the recipients of this U.S. foreign aid are countries that typically have laws against abortion, and they have very strong cultural opposition to abortion.”
He pointed to the words of Pope Francis, who has condemned “ideological colonization” in reference to the Western world trying to force developing countries to accept practices, like abortion, that they find abhorrent as a condition of getting foreign assistance.
The Trump administration announced in March that it would begin enforcing the Siljander Amendment, a ban on the use of taxpayer funds for lobbying for or against abortion overseas.
“We want to make sure that everything we do in the way that we contract, in the way we communicate, every organization to which United States taxpayers provide funds understands their obligation, their duty to ensure that there’s not the promotion of abortion anywhere in the world,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Catherine Hadro on EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly in April.
The Rhetoric of ‘Health Care’
Schleppenbach said on the domestic front that it was “distressing” to see “any elected official or candidate for elected office taking a position in support of abortion generally, but, in particular, it’s deeply, deeply even more offensive that they would want to force Americans to pay for it or to participate in it in any way.”
He noted a “shift in the abortion industry away from ‘pro-choice’ as their primary euphemism to ‘abortion is health care.’” He said that they’ve likely switched to that rhetoric because “if abortion is health care then everybody ought to participate and pay for it; so I think that’s part of the reason for this push to repeal the Hyde and Helms Amendments.”
For the USCCB, he said, “it has long been among our top priorities, in terms of our public-policy agenda, to ensure that there is no taxpayer funding of abortion — so the Hyde Amendment and the Helms Amendment have been foundations of our public-policy efforts.” He emphasized that “if we lose on either of those, then that would be a severe loss to the pro-life effort.”

If we stopped deforestation as soon as possible and started planting new trees today, we will have full grown trees decades from now, while our tropical forests can continue to thrive, undisturbed by destructive human activity.

Watch out for flood damaged 4x4s, says AA Cars
Thousands of families are counting the cost of widespread floods, not just to their homes but to their cars too. Now AA Cars, the AA’s new used car platform, is concerned that submersion-damaged cars may find their way on to the used car market, where owners have attempted to pass their car on rather than make an insrance claim.
The AA’s flood rescue team alone has now rescued more than 3,000 cars from flood water since 20th December, noting that a disproportionate number of them have been 4x4s.
David Bruce, director of AA Cars points out that insurers write off 70% of cars that have been immersed in flood water, either because the engine has been damaged or submerged electrical systems threaten the car’s safety.
If a car engine – regardless of whether it’s a small family hatchback or a 4×4 – draws even an eggcup-full of water through the air intake the engine will almost certainly be wrecked and in most cases the car will be written off.
Our specially-trained flood rescue crews say that many 4×4 drivers have gone through deep water finding that the ‘off road’ capability does not extend to flood water. Apart from the obvious risk of engine damage, only 30cm of moving water is enough to float a car and possibly sweep it off the road. It doesn’t matter what sort of car you drive, don’t attempt to drive through floods, certainly if it’s moving or more than 10cm (four inches) deep. Even cars that haven’t suffered engine damage are likely to be written off by insurers if they have been immersed in water.
David Bruce points out:
While a car can be dried out with no obvious visual damage, immersion in floods can store up a range of potentially costly or dangerous problems that could emerge at a later date.
For instance, catalytic converter and exhaust system life can be seriously compromised and there can be host of potentially serious electrical problems – including airbags spontaneously going off with a risk of injury.
Many owners may not tell their insurer that their car has been affected by flood water and attempt to dispose of it through the used car market, passing on potentially disastrous problems to an unwitting buyer.
Tips that could indicate a flood damaged car:
- If a used car has the windows open it may be to ventilate a damp car interior; while air fresheners might be there to mask the smell of damp. Check the carpets for dampness.
- If the car easily steam up especially when the screen heater is turned on there is moisture in the car.
- If there is a whiteish emulsion on the underside of the oil filler cap there is likely to be water in the engine oil which could have come from flood water or may indicate a leaking head gasket (which would need attention).
- Check that all the warning lights are working including the SRS airbag warning.
- If the car has been recorded as a category C or D write-off, meaning that the car can be repaired and re-sold, this will be recorded on the V5C.
- Cars bought from AA Cars include a full car history check and if it has been written off by an insurer it will be recorded.
- Consider an AA vehicle inspection (there are discounts for AA Cars users) which should highlight problems.
- If in any doubt, don’t buy it. There will always be another one.

Visiting the Peles Castle near Sinaia, Romania
This castle was very different from the previous ones mainly because it was built between 1873 and 1883, so it's "new" compared to the others visited before:)
The castle was the summer residence of king Carol I so inside is very richly decorated. We went inside with a group, and there was a guide who spoke about the rooms, decoration, history and everything. It was a very short tour, we didn't have enough time to look at the things better, everywhere we had to hurry to hear what the guide tells.
Everything in the castle was beautiful and every time we went in the next room we was stunned and wondered: how much money did this king had:) In one room were only old guns, and armors, another room was full of books, in one room was a very big mirror which was made of glass from Murano, there were carpets which the king had got from Iran, so everything was very interesting and precious. We were sorry that the tour ended so soon...
After seeing the castle from the inside we thought about walking a bit in its park. This was very nice, too with fountains, statues and guards too of course:P
This was my second visit to this castle but if i have the opportunity I will go to see it again. On the tour the guide said the the first floor is now closed but from September it will be opened once a month... I hope I will see it once:)

MY FATHER, John Lynch, first ran for governor of New Hampshire when I was 15 and was in office until I was 23. I have been exposed to politics for a significant part of my life and I’ve always enjoyed being involved in campaigns, but this election feels different. This year, I decided to take a more active role by volunteering with the Biden campaign and using my voice to encourage people to get involved and to vote. I don’t want to wake up the morning of November 4th and ask myself what else could I have done.
As a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, I have never felt more isolated, guilty and helpless than I did going through those awful experiences. With more than 1 in 3 women subjected to physical violence, rape or stalking by a partner at some point in their lives, I want a president who has empathy for survivors like me. Joe Biden has stood up for survivors his entire life and will continue to fight to end gender-based violence.
As someone who has had to navigate the health care system as a patient and works in the health care industry, I want a president who is going to make health care more accessible, more affordable, and focused on patients. I can’t imagine all of the parents out there working multiple jobs to support their family while taking care of their kids, taking care of their aging parents and having to navigate the health care system and pay for prescriptions without insurance. But that is a reality for many Granite Staters, and it’s not fair. Joe Biden has a plan to protect and expand upon the Affordable Care Act and ensure every American has health care coverage.
As a woman who is thinking of starting a family, I want to feel like I can bring a child into a safe world where everyone is respected by our president. And they deserve to live in a country where we are all actively fighting climate change and trying to make the world a better place. I know Joe Biden will fight for all these things and so much more.
Joe Biden is the right choice for New Hampshire. He and Kamala Harris will listen to Granite Staters and fight for each and every one of us. Together, they will build back better and set the country up to be better for our generation, our kids’ generation and our grandchildren’s generation.
These are the reasons why I am reaching out to people in my network, and beyond, to ask “what is your plan to vote?” and “how can I help you make a plan?” Voting has already started here in New Hampshire, and the earlier our friends and families make plans to vote the better. This year, any eligible voter can vote absentee in New Hampshire and voters can request, fill out, and return their ballot in a single trip to their clerk’s office. Voting is easy and convenient, but it’s on us to make sure all Granite Staters know their options.
On the days when I get nervous to reach out to a person I haven’t spoken to in years, I remind myself that this election is bigger than me. On my weakest days, I think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and how much I want to fight to continue her legacy. I have used my voice to message people through text, Instagram, Facebook, email, calls and even show up to family brunches with applications for absentee ballots, complete with addressed envelopes and stamps. Democracy is not a spectator sport, and we all need to get involved to make America stronger.
My dad used to always say “We live in the greatest state, in the greatest country, in the world.” I believe that is true, but we have a lot of work to do to recover from the last four years. That’s why I’m proud to support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and will fight every day until November 3rd to get them elected.

When you think potatoes, would you think unhealthy? For chips and crisps sure, but surprisingly a paper published in the British Medical Journal found that potato prepared in many ways can lead to high blood pressure.
The researchers were interested to see if intake of potato, in whatever form, is correlated with high blood pressure, or hypertension.
To do this, they brought together the data from 3 large studies and compared potato intake to incidence of hypertension. The form the potato took was split into groups of (1) baked, boiled or mashed, (2) Chips (or French fries if you prefer) and (3) Crisps (or chips in some places if you want to get confusing).
They found that consumption of potato when baked, boiled, mashed or as chips were all associated with an increased risk of hypertension. Strangely, this association was not seen for crisps.
They suggest that the high glycemic index of potato (a measure of how quickly a food affects a person’s blood sugar level) could be responsible for the increase in hypertension. They also found that replacing one serving of potato a day with a non starchy vegetable was associated with a lower risk of developing hypertension. Or if you can’t live without your mash potato why not reduce it by substituting some of it for mashed carrot or squash.
As for the result with the crisps, well, perhaps that deserves a bit more investigation.

Snowden: It was worth it
NEW YORK — NSA leaker Edward Snowden on Saturday defended his disclosure of reams of classified information and said his actions were worth fleeing his seemingly idyllic life in Hawaii and ending up in hiding in Russia, where he was joined by his girlfriend in July.
“It was about getting the information back to people so they could decide if they cared about it, and on that account … I could not have been more wrong in thinking that people wouldn’t care,” he told a New Yorker Festival audience Saturday afternoon via webcast from an undisclosed location in Moscow.
But he also suggested that if he had been a journalist handling the leaked documents, he would have been more conservative than some of the reporters who wrote about the surveillance programs.
( The POLITICO 50: Edward Snowden and Glen Greenwald)
Snowden said he was just “one small guy,” an “ordinary” man who saw the inner belly of the U.S. intelligence apparatus and had to act.
He has been criticized by many inside and outside government who have charged that he’s a traitor who jeopardized critical national security programs and made it easier for terrorists to plot and evade U.S. government surveillance. But Snowden has been hailed as a hero by civil liberties groups and libertarians for revealing the extent of government surveillance into the communications of ordinary Americans.
Snowden implied he had been vindicated by President Barack Obama, who said in January that a debate on surveillance “will make us stronger” as a country.
Obama’s statement was “very important for everybody who believes that our rights matter, our constitution matters and intelligence agencies, even if they have good intentions, can go too far, when they violate the constitution on a massive scale, that matters, and they need to be held to account for it,” he said to questions by New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer.
( From POLITICO Magazine: Stopping the next Snowden)
Snowden, who worked with the journalists Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, and Bart Gellman to bring highly classified materials about NSA surveillance programs to the public eye, also responded to a Mayer question that he summarized by saying, “Do I agree with all of the stories that the journalists have presented?”
“I don’t,” he went on. “I would draw those lines a little differently, and I think much more conservatively than some of the journalists have,” without naming which reporters’ stories he disagreed with.
Snowden also said that “in fact we’ve seen serial violations of the law … NSA employees have used this surveillance power to spy on exes, to spy on lovers, and that’s a felony; however, none of them were prosecuted because it was considered that the value of the programs was greater than the interests of justice.”
Mayer, the event’s moderator, also delved into more personal questions and asked Snowden what he missed about the U.S., a country he may never return to.
( Also on POLITICO: Edward Snowden honored with ‘alternative Nobel’)
“The question is, what don’t I miss, whether it’s my family, whether it’s my home, whether it’s my friends, whether it’s my work at the agency, I was fulfilled and happy,” he responded. “Things as simple as having my old beat-up car, there’s a lot to miss. It’s a great country.”
Now, he’s ensconced in Moscow, where he has reunited with his girlfriend Lindsay Mills, as revealed in a new documentary, “Citizenfour,” and a New Yorker piece published on Friday.
“She was not entirely pleased [with what happened], but at the same time, it was an incredible reunion because she understood me, and that meant a lot to me,” he said.


Journalist Jacque Talbot has revealed Newcastle United‘s ‘interest’ in signing Darwin Nunez.
The Lowdown: Breakthrough season
The 22-year-old has enjoyed somewhat of a breakthrough season for Benfica, scoring no fewer than 34 goals and supplying a further four assists in 41 matches across all competitions (Transfermarkt).
Hailed as an “absolute beast” by Liverpool podcaster Hari Sethi after an impressive display in the Champions League against the eventual finalists and Premier League runners-up, the striker has shown that he looks more than capable of making the step up to the English top flight.
The Latest: Newcastle ‘interest’ in Nunez
Taking to Twitter, Talbot has revealed that while Nunez’s preferred destination would be Manchester United, there is also ‘interest’ in him from St James’ Park, and indeed a number of other clubs in the Premier League.
The journalist stated: “Been asked about him a lot recently. Was indicated to me his favoured place was Man United. But can see Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Newcastle, West Ham, and even Chelsea depending on Lukaku, all with an interest (though to what extent varies).”
The Verdict: Statement
For Newcastle to beat all of those clubs, who can all offer him European football next season, to sign Nunez would certainly be a statement of intent from PIF.
His goal record speaks for itself, and the Uruguay international is capable of spearheading Eddie Howe’s attack and firing them up the table.
Should Newcastle sign Nunez?
Indeed, he is still only 22 years of age, so it is scary to think how good he could be in just a few years’ time.

UNICEF and the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine sign a Memorandum in support of children affected by war
UNICEF and the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine signed a Memorandum consolidating efforts to protect childrens’ rights. The focus will be on the protection of the rights of orphan children, children in institutional care, children from foster families, family-type orphanages, foster families that have been taken into care and other children who had to temporarily flee abroad due to war.
The Memorandum states that UNICEF will continue providing technical and financial support to the Government to address child protection issues in Ukraine and abroad.
One of key challenges is the lack of a centralized information management system between countries to monitor the whereabouts of children and whether their rights are being upheld. For example, over the past week Ukraine’s Child Protection Service has been working to implement a tracking system and set up a database of children from Ukrainian institutions that have been evacuated to other countries.
The safety and wellbeing of nearly 100,000 children from Ukrainian institutions is under threat.
Within the framework of the Memorandum, Ukraine and EU countries will cooperate through consulates, central and local executive bodies, and local governments. The main objective is to register children, understand where they are located abroad and in what conditions, identify their needs and support those in need.
Social workers from Ukraine and EU countries will work together on an identification and tracking system, decision-making mechanisms for registration of children transferred from institutions, unaccompanied children and children that have been separated from their guardians. This work will also ensure the integration of children into protection systems and their further reunification with families in Ukraine.
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. Across more than 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, to build a better world for everyone.

A Joint Venture between Greenland Enterprises and SAW Contracting has been awarded a $16.5M project to replace three boilers at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, FL. The combination of each company’s experience and expertise ultimately created the best offering for the Department of Veterans Affairs in awarding this project.
The project involves building a new boiler plant and replacing three water tube boilers with three fire tube boilers, along with new controls and related systems. The boilers provide steam for the medical center campus, and a critical element of the project is keeping the existing boiler plant online during construction and commissioning. Once the new plant is online, the SAW-Greenland team will dismantle and remove the old boilers and related equipment.
Greenland Enterprises has been selected by NASA for a $10.7M project to construct a complex compressor system at the Langley Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton, VA. This comprehensive project will supply LaRC’s wind tunnels and test facilities with 8 lbs./sec. high-pressure air at 6,000 psi and -80degF dewpoint.
Greenland Enterprises is teaming with SAW Contracting to remove and replace three boilers at the VA Medical Center in Marion, IL. The best-source selection project involves work in and around the 1940’s boiler house building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
When North Carolina State University needed to update the Centennial Campus’ chilled water capacity without a costly plant expansion, it turned to Greenland Enterprises in Hampton, VA.

Greenland Enterprises has been awarded a $1.1 million design-build contract to replace an air handling unit at the VA Medical Center in Newington, CT. The firm was selected in large part due to its unique HVAC expertise in healthcare environments.
Because of the sensitive location and need to minimize downtime, Greenland will use a factory-built modular air handling unit that will be assembled on site. This approach reduces on-site construction time compared to traditional approaches, which is important due to the unique needs of the healthcare facility.
Greenland Enterprises and SAW Contracting are teaming together on an $8.9 million boiler plant renovation project at the VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, FL. The project involves renovating the existing boiler plant, removing four high-pressure boilers, and installing three new boilers. Read More

During the third quarter of 2019 Mexico’s GDP fell 0.2% below levels of a year earlier according to seasonally adjusted data released last Monday, putting the economy on track for its worst yearly performance in a decade. The economy was pulled lower by a negative performance in the industrial sector, an essentially flat tertiary sector, and only agriculture showing significant growth.
Even a couple of bright spots in last week’s economic news – the registering of close to a 500 million dollar trade surplus for October and a current account surplus for the second time in as many quarters after posting a deficit of more than USD 8 billion in the first quarter – simply underscored how economic weakness is depressing consumer and fixed investment-related imports.
In addition to the contraction in industrial production through September, readings of private consumption and fixed investment for August proved to be unfavorable. All of these developments have been reflected in a weakening of labor market indicators and in both consumer sentiment and spending.
We continue to witness troubling developments on the level of public finance, and the recently passed 2020 budget gives further cause for concern. Rather than addressing the continuing slide in tax and oil income, the government is sticking with its policy of budget cuts and under-spending while drawing on the nation’s oil fund to make up the shortfall, thereby potentially setting the stage for greater budget pressures next year. And adding to pressures on public finance, the story at Pemex remains depressingly familiar as the government continues to starve it of the capex and opex budgets it requires even as its oil and gas output, exports, and domestic sales continue to fall.
The day following the GDP report, the government unveiled a 43 billion dollar infrastructure program for 2020-24 in a bid to revive slumping investment, but skepticism remained, with many of the 147 projects consisting of older ones that were never completed or had been scrapped, and most of them not backed by the necessary profitability, technical or financial studies.
And by Wednesday, Banco de México cut its growth forecast for 2019 to a range of -0.2 to 0.2 percent, while we at GEA reiterate our previous estimate that GDP will contract by 0.1% this year.

Jason Pruitt, brother of USC guard Gabe Pruitt, topped the Knights (23-12) with 20 points. Cory Hyde had a double-double, with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Dante Mitchell had 12 points before fouling out.
View Park looked to be in control of what had been a close game, going into the fourth quarter up seven (37-30). With 2:40 remaining, the Knights led 41-36 when McNally took charge.
McNally dished to Martin to start the overtime, and Branson had the lead for the first time since the score was 21-20, late in the first quarter. After two McNally free throws with 57.1 seconds left, the game had been decided.

Top 10 seafood restaurants in Iceland
Iceland is known for its fresh seafood, usually prepared in such a way to allow the natural flavours and quality of the product to shine. Here’s our guide to some of Iceland’s best seafood restaurants.
Aðalstræti 12, Reykjavík
Fiskmarkaðurinn (The Fishmarket) is one of Iceland‘s most popular seafood restaurants. The eatery‘s signature dish is the lightly salted cod, beautifully seasoned with lime peel and served with potato puré, dried cranberries, and sweet celery salad. The dish was once removed of the restaurant’s menu, but made a quick return after countless comments from upset guests.
2. Við fjöruborðið
Eyrarbraut 3a, Stokkseyri
This lovely little restaurant sits on the oceanfront of the small village of Stokkseyri and is renowned for its langoustine dishes. The side dishes of curried couscous, cucumber salad, greens, and a tomato salad are also quite delicious.
Harbour, Höfn in Hornafjörður
The restaurant opened for business in the beginning of June 2012 and is located in an old building set overlooking the Höfn’s harbour. Originally the building was used as a ware-house, later it housed a maritime museum before eventually being turned into a restaurant. The owner and head chef enjoys cooking different types of fish and experimenting with how they respond to different cooking methods.
This quaint eatery is located in one of the oldest houses in Ísafjörður, which is now part of the town’s maritime museum. The restaurant serves fresh, high quality seafood and is renowned for its quirky, laid-back atmosphere.
Sæbraut 2, Stykkishólmur
This beautiful dining spot is located on the harbour, overlooking the small islet “Stykkið” (The piece) that the town is named after. The restaurant serves lovely dishes made from freshly caught fish.
6. Fish and Chips
Grandi harbour area, Reykjavík
This food truck serves fish and chips by the old Reykjavík harbour (near Víkin Maritime Museum). Before opening the food truck, its owners underwent a comprehensive training course with the National Federation of Fish Friers, which works to promote and protect the interests of some 8500 fish and chip shops throughout the United Kingdom. The food truck sells proper fish and chips – the fish is bought directly from the trawler Arnar from Skagaströnd, North Iceland, while the fat for frying, the chips, mushy peas and vinegar are imported from England.
7. Matur og drykkur
Grandagarður 2, Reykjavík
The restaurant serves traditional, Icelandic dishes, but with a twist. The eatery’s signature dish is the cod’s head cooked in chicken stock with dulse and served with tasty potato salad. It’s definitely something you need to try.
Skólavörðustígur 14, Reykjavík
The dining spot’s most popular dish is the salted cod and pork cheeks with mustard, bacon and carrots. The atmosphere is laid-back and the food is delicious without being too fussy.
9. Restaurant Galdur (The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft)
Höfðagata 8-10, Hólmavík
The small restaurant in the front of the Museum of Icelandic Witchcraft and Sorcery opened in 2009 and is renowned for its specialty: mussels grown in Steingrímsfjörður fjord. Curator Sigurður Atlason does much of the cooking himself and says one simply can’t go wrong when cooking with delicious products such as the Steingrímsfjörður mussels.
The Sea Baron is a small, humble restaurant, located in an old baiting hut on the old Reykjavík harbour. The restaurant was founded by Kjartan Halldórsson, a retired fisherman and former chef for the Icelandic Coast Guard, who quickly became famous for his delicious lobster soup. While the lobster soup might be the restaurant’s specialty, the more traditional dish of fermented skate is also worth a try.

In preparation for replacing the springs the shocks were removed and disassembled. Being an engineer, I wanted to calculate the forces on the rear suspension, but realized doing so was pointless – I already know the suspension was bottoming. The new springs should be here Tuesday or Wednesday and it’ll be back together by the weekend. A test drive will show whether it’s tolerable – though the answer will have to be “it’ll do.”
Sized up the proposed mods for the rear lower panel, probably cutting it back to right below the license plate and replacing it with stainless mesh the same as the existing mesh above. Also, I’m seriously considering making a true diffuser for the bottom back edge of the car. It would be the full width of the chassis and trail behind by 46-61 cm (18-24″). Haven’t decided what to do about the dented and scratched side panel; some have suggested proudly leaving it like a scar from a bar fight. We’ll see.

Is my dog’s diarrhea anything to worry about?
If diarrhea is the only symptom and it goes away within a day or two, it’s likely that your dog simply ate something he shouldn’t have.
But if he has any other symptoms, such as vomiting, loss of appetite, or lethargy, if there’s blood in the stool, or if the diarrhea is chronic, there may be a more serious problem. If you observe any of these symptoms, definitely contact your vet.
To prevent food-related diarrhea, don’t give your dog anything that’s gone bad. Kibbles and processed foods can cause stomach upset because even when they say “grain free” they are often full of carbs. You may want to try feeding your dog natural foods from the grocery store. Veggies and hamburger are an excellent meal for a dog.


A financial analysis of a Janesville Street affordable housing project has concluded the development needs government assistance.
The Village of Oregon is considering spending $2.75 million in taxpayer funding to help Lakestone Properties get the project off the ground. An analysis from the village’s financial consultant, Minnesota-based Ehlers Inc., states the developer’s plan would not be able to come through without the tax-increment financing.
Lakestone Properties is seeking to construct a mix of family and senior living apartment buildings with rents below market rate at 917, 919 and 947 Janesville St., according to its general development plan. The plan includes three buildings 153 units, serving people earning 50% to 70% of the area median income, which is subsidized by Wisconsin Economic Development Authority Tax Credits. Of the 153 units, 41 are likely to house the seniors, the plan states. Construction is expected to begin in 2021.
To help that along, the Village Board authorized its financial consultant to conduct the analysis of Lakestone’s TIF request in October. Trusteeis discussed that request without taking any action at their Monday, Nov. 16, meeting. Lakestone Properties was also present, but representatives and trustees determined they needed to further evaluate the analysis before a final vote. They will likely revisit at a later date, village administrator Mike Gracz told the Observer.
TIF is a public financing tool that allows a municipality to collect increased taxes on new or improved developments from multiple taxing jurisdictions. It can be used to clear or renew aging or neglected property, to make an area of a municipality competitive or to close a gap in financing capability.
The Lakestone Properties TIF request is structured as a pay-as-you-go, meaning the developer would receive incentives in the form of a rebate after it has paid taxes, rather than up front.
The Ehlers analysis concluded the request satisfies the “but for” test required of any TIF project — that is, the project wouldn’t happen “but for” the funding assistance.
It looked at three scenarios for how much developer is to be reimbursed on the TIF funding it receives, and how much money the village would retain. Lakestone originally requested the TIF district return 100% of that increment over the first few years, but the village suggested retaining 25% for other projects inside the TIF district.
Ehlers found that if the village were to retain 25% of the incremental taxes generated in the district, along with a 4% interest rate, it would not be able to fulfil the developer’s request.
So in its first scenario, Ehlers deleted the interest rate, which put Lakestone’s TIF request at $2.24 million. For the second, Ehlers kept the 4% interest rate and had the village retaining 5% of the increment. In the third, the village would keep 10%, putting the developer’s request at $2.7 million, “just shy” of it, the analysis document states.
Both trustees and the developer appeared to lean toward scenarios 2 and 3, or they might have the consultant come up with a hybrid of both.
