A number of letters that Jane Austen sent in 1814 to her niece Anna Lefroy, herself an aspiring novelist, have considerable interest because of the published author’s advice on writing fiction. Most of Austen’s comments are astute and to the point. But in her letter of September 9–18 she makes an incomprehensible meal of one of Anna’s place-name choices.
The scene with Mrs Mellish, I should condemn; it is prosy & nothing to the purpose—& indeed, the more you can find in your heart to curtail between Dawlish & Newton Priors, the better I think it will be.—One does not care for girls till they are grown up.—Your Aunt C. quite enters into the exquisiteness of that name. Newton Priors is really a Nonpareil.—Milton wd have given his eyes to have thought of it. (9–18 September 1814)
"Newton Priors"? It doesn’t seem so very remarkable. And why should her sister, Cassandra ("Your Aunt C."), with no pretensions to novel writing, "quite enter into the exquisiteness of that name"? It is evidently a family in-joke, and a good one, because this wasn’t the end of it:
My dear Anna
I have been very far from finding your Book an Evil I assure you; I read it immediately—& with great pleasure. . . . The name of Newton-Priors is really invaluable!—I never met with anything superior to it.—It is delightful.—One could live upon the name of Newton-Priors for a twelvemonth. Indeed, I do think you get on very fast. (30 November 1814)
In uncovering unexplored material relating to Jane Austen’s early life, I propose an explanation for this levity and at the same time suggest possible sources for some of the characters in the novels.
One of Jane Austen’s godmothers when she was christened in the spring of 1776 was the wife of Dr. James Musgrave, Rector of Chinnor, in Oxfordshire, who was a wealthy Perrot relation of her mother’s. Nothing has until now been found to say about Jane Musgrave: as Claire Tomalin had concluded in a note at the end of the first chapter of her biography of Austen, “Mrs. Musgrave was never heard of again” (296).
Historians of science, however, have known since the 1920s that Dr. James Musgrave was for many years the owner of the working library of Sir Isaac Newton. The connection between the Musgrave who owned Newton’s library and Jane Austen’s godmother has for some reason never been made. Dr. Musgrave’s contribution to Newton scholarship was an invaluable one: during his long period of ownership he had drawn up a detailed catalogue of the library, a handsome volume now preserved in the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton’s old college.
In investigating the history of the Musgrave family, I discovered that the standard work on Newton’s library, John Harrison’s The Library of Isaac Newton, published by Cambridge University Press in 1978, is wrong about what happened to the collection when Dr. Musgrave died in 1778. Jane Austen’s godmother, as it turns out, played a crucial part in its history.
Newton had died intestate in 1727, and his library was bought from his executors later that year by a man called John Huggins. Huggins had three sons, one of whom, William Huggins, was Jane Musgrave’s father.1 John Huggins sent Newton’s books to be cared for by his youngest son, Charles, at Chinnor Rectory, eighteen miles outside Oxford; and when Charles died in 1750, his successor as rector, Dr. James Musgrave, Doctor of Laws from St. John’s College, Oxford,2 moved into the rectory, married Charles Huggins’s niece Jane, and bought Newton’s library from the Huggins family (Harrison 28–36).
Newton’s books remained in Dr. Musgrave’s ownership until his death in 1778, at which point Harrison assumed that they passed to his eldest son, another James (39, 41). It’s an understandable assumption: in the same year the son James Musgrave inherited an estate in Gloucestershire, Barnsley Park, from a Perrot relation,3 and it was at Barnsley, over a century later, that a sizable remainder of Newton’s library was finally discovered, “stuck away in cupboards and corners where their owner did not even know of their existence” (Stokeley 397). Harrison was mistaken. Dr. Musgrave left the library not to his son but to his wife, who survived him by ten years, dying when Jane Austen, her goddaughter, was twelve. The books had after all come to him through his connection with her family, so this was not inappropriate.
But Dr. Musgrave didn’t leave his wife Isaac Newton’s library because he thought she was the best person to preserve it. He left it to her so that she could sell it. Harrison had evidently not seen his will, which explains the circumstances in detail. Dr. Musgrave settled an estate in Durham on her, but it came with an encumbrance, a hefty charge of £500—around £75,000 today—which he had insufficient cash to clear himself. The sale of Newton’s library, for which he had paid £400 twenty-eight years earlier, should have been sufficient to rid her of this charge.
I give my said Wife All my Household Goods and ffurniture in the Parsonage House of Chinnor and the Library of Books standing in the said Parsonage House together with all my Plate thereout to raise by Sale so much Money as shall be sufficient to clear the said Debt.
Jane Austen’s godmother was clearly a woman of independent spirit. She did not sell “the Library of books.” Her own will, written at Chinnor, makes this clear: the first item listed, her primary concern, is “all the Library of Books that are in the Catalogue.” She remained at Chinnor, with Newton’s library intact, until she moved to London in 1787, the year before her death.4 Chinnor rectory was amply and comfortably furnished, and it was not until just before she left that she finally organized the sale of the “Household Goods and ffurniture” that her husband had anticipated. An advertisement appeared on the front page of Jackson’s Oxford Journal for Saturday, January 6, 1787:
To be SOLD by AUCTION, By W. FOLKER, On Wednesday the 10th of January, 1787, and the following Days, A large Quantity of exceeding good and useful HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE, the Property of Mrs. Musgrave, at the Parsonage-House at Chinnor.
Fourposters and feather beds, paintings and prints, pots, pans, and pewter, even the cucumber frames and garden rollers went under the hammer of the Oxford auctioneer. But there is no mention of books.
Between the summer of 1778, when Jane Austen was two years old, and the beginning of 1787 nine years later, her godmother Mrs. Musgrave lived on at Chinnor Rectory with Isaac Newton’s books in pride of place in the library. Whether Jane Austen visited her godmother at Chinnor as a child thus becomes a question of some interest.
The role of godparents in the Austen family
The expectation of spending time with a godparent is clearly reflected in Northanger Abbey, in the context of John Thorpe’s repugnant insinuation, “‘Old Allen is as rich as a Jew—is not he?’”
“He is your godfather, is not he?”
“But you are always very much with them.”
“Yes, very much.”
“Aye, that is what I meant.” (63)
The correspondence between Jane and her sister is, not surprisingly, silent on Mrs. Musgrave, who had died a decade earlier. But there is evidence in the letters of the role godparents played as Jane still had one surviving, her godfather, the Reverend Samuel Cooke of Bookham. Visits to Bookham are frequently mentioned—they were regular, expected, and usually dreaded: “I assure You that I dread the idea of going to Bookham as much as you can do; but I am not without some hopes that something may happen to prevent it” (8–9 January 1799); “I wonder what we shall do with all our intended visits this summer?—I should like to make a compromise with Adlestrop, Harden & Bookham that Martha’s spending the summer at Steventon should be considered as our respective visits to them all” (11 June 1799); “I shall be nearer to Bookham than I cd wish, in going from Dorking to Guilford—but till I have a travelling purse of my own, I must submit to such things” (26 June 1808). There is only one occasion when Jane is keen to go, and for good reason:
They do not leave home till July & want me to come to them according to my promise.—. . . In addition to their standing claims on me, they admire Mansfield Park exceedingly. Mr Cooke says “it is the most sensible Novel he ever read”—and the manner in which I treat the Clergy, delights them very much.—Altogether I must go—& I want you to join me there when your visit in Henrietta St is over. (14 June 1814, my emphasis)
The letters give no information about the relationship Jane may have had with Mrs. Musgrave. In the same way they tell us nothing about Cassandra’s relationship with her godmother, Mrs. Jane Cooper, who died when she was a child. But in this case we fortunately have another source.
Kathryn Sutherland, in her 2002 edition of James Edward Austen-Leigh’s Memoir of Jane Austen, reprinted invaluable original material, including a letter first published by Deirdre Le Faye in 1988. It was sent by Anna Lefroy in old age to Austen’s biographer-nephew, in response to his request for information about his aunt. Anna describes the profound affection of the two sisters for each other. She then adds, “They must however have been separated some times as Cassandra in her childhood was a good deal with Dr. & Mrs. Cooper at Bath” (Memoir 160). Cassandra herself, who survived her younger sister by twenty-eight years, was the source of this information. The circumstantial evidence of one visit as remembered by Anna is indisputable.
She once described to me her return to Steventon one fine summer evening. The Coopers had sent or conveyed her a good part of the journey . . . & almost home they were when they met Jane & Charles, the two little ones of the family, who had got as far as New down to meet the chaise, & have the pleasure of riding home in it. (160)
Without Anna’s letter we would have no idea of the close relationship Cassandra had in her childhood with her godmother.5 Mrs. Cooper died in 1783, when Cassandra was ten. Mrs. Musgrave left Chinnor in 1787, when Jane was eleven.
Visits to Chinnor, if they did take place, would have been memorable. The house was much larger and more splendid than the homely rectory in Steventon, where Jane and Cassandra grew up. Built in the first half of the seventeenth century, there were twenty-two “apartments,” the finest of them being the Great Hall and the Library. The grounds included a walled garden, kitchen garden, orchard, and two stables (Oxford Archdeanery 181). Robert Plot specifically mentioned it in 1677 in his Natural History of Oxfordshire as being hardly inferior to the houses of some of the nobility in its “greatness, commodiousness, or elegancy of Building” (266). It seems to have become less commodious over time: in 1725 Thomas Hearne tells us that the rector of nearby Waterstock, Charles Hinde, thought it “(notwithstanding its strange largeness) the most ill contriv’d Parsonage House in England” (400). Mr. Knightley’s house at Donwell, with its apple trees and strawberry beds, springs irresistibly to mind: “The house was larger than Hartfield, and totally unlike it, covering a good deal of ground, rambling and irregular, with many comfortable and one or two handsome rooms” (Emma 358).
But can we be justified in imagining Jane Austen as a child standing in the grand library at Chinnor, admiring its fine contents, its bookcases, and perhaps even the books they contained? Dr. Musgrave’s will suggests that we can. The Library, like the Great Hall, was an imposing room, not only lined with books but also hung with family portraits. Dr. Musgrave’s bequest to his wife tells us about what was on the walls as he also left her some of the portraits: “and seven Capital Pictures of her own ffamily which now hang in the great Hall at the Parsonage House at Chinnor aforesaid and the pictures of Mr and Mrs Knightley which hang in my Library at Chinnor.”
Scholarly attention to possible sources for the names Jane Austen uses in her novels culminated in two recent publications, Janine Barchas’s Matters of Fact in Jane Austen (2012) and Margaret Anne Doody’s Jane Austen’s Names: Riddles, Persons, Places (2015). But there is no mention of the Knightleys in either work.
Mrs. Knightley was Dr. Musgrave’s sister, who had married John Knightley of Berkswell in 1744. On visits to Chinnor as a child, Jane would probably have known the original Mrs. John Knightley, who was Mrs. Musgrave’s closest companion after her husband’s death.6 A large volume of correspondence, preserved in the Gloucestershire Archives, between the Musgraves and their distinguished relative Sir William Musgrave chronicles the relationship. A letter from Mrs. Musgrave’s son James, written at Chinnor shortly after his father’s death in 1778, concludes in the elaborate style characteristic of the time: “My Mother & Sisters would be particular in their Acknowledgements to you for your kind Remembrance of them were they with me but they are gone with Mrs Knightley to Berkswell.” The following April Mrs. Knightley is with them as he writes, and she accompanied Jane Musgrave on her visit to stay with her son at Barnsley Park in the summer of 1782. She remained a constant friend to the end, following Mrs. Musgrave to London in the last year of her life. Mrs. Knightley survived her sister-in-law by many years, dying in 1813 at the age of 94.
The altered will
What happened to Newton’s library after the death of Mrs. Musgrave in 1788 is not known. The first sentence of her will, drawn up in 1784, is clear: “I give to my Eldest Son James Musgrave all the Library of Books that are in the Catalogue, and also all the pictures in the Library and pictures in the Great Hall.” But this whole sentence is then crossed out. When the will was read, her son was summoned to testify that he “being at the House of the said deceased on or about the twenty seventh Day of June last past in Searching for the Papers belonging to the said deceased found in a drawer in the Bureau in a Room of the deceased’s House the said paper Writing hereunto annexed,” and “made Oath that he doth verily and in his Conscience believe the said paper Writing is now in every respect in the same plight and Condition as when found by him as aforesaid.” Perhaps by 1788 Jane Austen’s godmother was becoming concerned that her eldest son, by then splendidly settled at Barnsley Park, was more interested in his livery than his library. And there was also the very real possibility that he would inherit the Musgrave baronetcy.
The Musgraves, the baronet, and Persuasion
In the final chapter of Matters of Fact, “Persuasion’s Battle of the Books,” Barchas compares “the Baronetage” and the “navy-list” as possible sources for names occurring in Persuasion. When it comes to the surname “Musgrove,” she briefly mentions the Musgrave family. “While the Baronetage does not include an English family by the name of Musgrove, it does list the ancient family of Musgrave that ‘came into England with the Conqueror’ and to which the Austens could, again, claim distant connections.” She quotes from Park Honan’s 1987 biography: “One of Jane Austen’s godmothers was named Musgrave, Mrs. Jane Musgrave, ‘wife of James Musgrave, a Vicar of Chinnor in Oxfordshire, whose mother was Mrs. Austen’s great-aunt and a rich Perrot’” (232). Misled perhaps by Dr. Musgrave’s humble profession, Barchas concludes that “the Austen connection to the Musgraves listed in the Baronetage is therefore slight and distant” and delves no further.
But the connection between Jane Austen and the Musgrave baronetage was not in the slightest bit distant. The younger James Musgrave, her godmother’s eldest son, was to become the 8th Baronet in 1812, three years before the novelist began work on Persuasion. It seems remarkable that this has gone unnoticed—not least since Barnsley Park, which was his seat for most of Jane Austen’s life (he died in 1814), was used as Kellynch Hall in the 1995 film of Persuasion. The opening credits are running as Mrs. Clay and then Lady Russell draw up, in trap and carriage respectively, at its grand, pedimented entrance. Barnsley Park had been built for Henry Perrot, the brother of Jane Austen’s great-grandmother, although the connection with the Austen family seems not to have formed any part of the film’s promotional material.
There are tantalizing connections between the Musgrave family and Persuasion. Shortly after he inherited Barnsley Park, Mrs. Musgrave’s son James wrote a letter to Sir William Musgrave, then the 6th Baronet, in which the following sentence appears:
At first glance it strikes me as adviseable for us to live at Bath; & to pay a Visit to Barnsley in the Summer, without the appearance of keeping up the Place which would be very expensive, & the more so to a Person who has no ready money; & then I should be near to ride over occasionally to see how matters go on; & my Sisters would have the advantage of Company at an easy Rate—
Is this striking parallel with Sir Walter Elliot’s predicament in the novel simply coincidence? There’s another, which is even harder to set aside. James inherited the baronetcy towards the end of his life, on the death of the 7th Baronet, the eminent soldier Sir Thomas Musgrave. With the baronetcy came a share, but a share only, in Sir Thomas’s considerable wealth. The other part went to a cousin, whose name was Mrs. Clay.7
Mrs. Clay’s brother’s army career was materially aided by the patronage of Colonel Musgrave, and for many years she had been diligent in the expression of her gratitude. Her insinuating style, as evidenced by two letters to Sir William Musgrave, will strike a resounding chord with Austen readers.
Saturday 27 October 17878
I last night received the honor of your letter, which be assured, I take as a particular mark of your regard, the attention you have most kindly shewn towards me on many occasions (as well as the present) is a proof of your friendship, which is ever held by me in the highest estimation!
The Col’s unbounded generosity in promoting my Brother to the rank of Captain, is a favour never to have been expected, as he never would have had the power to have purchas’d, which makes the Obligation to Colonel Musgrave still greater, every part of his Family are thankful and indebted to his Patron and can never sufficiently express their Gratitude which they must ever feel in the extreem!
And, four years later:
17 June 1791.
Every mark of attention from Sir William Musgrave is most flattering as no one is more sensible of it that I am & I feel gratitude in the extreem by His obligeing letter received last night which afforded me the greatest satisfaction to hear of the welfare and promotion of my Brother which has been beyond the expectation of His friends, that General Musgrave may live to return to His native Country and receive the thanks of His friends in person for the many favors conferr’d, is my most ardent wish, His kindness to my family has been great indeed (through your condescending recommendation) we was the only branch of the Musgrave family that wanted assistance and protection [my emphasis], we have found great and generous Benefactors!
Mrs. Clay, like her namesake in the novel, had evidently made an “unprosperous marriage” (Persuasion 15), and the careful attention she paid to her Musgrave relations of rank and influence proved highly successful. Can this echo also be just coincidence?
I suggest that Jane Austen was familiar with this family and did indeed spend time with her godmother at Chinnor Rectory—perhaps, after the death of Mrs. Cooper in 1783, accompanied by Cassandra—when Sir Isaac Newton’s books were in the library. Her “Newton Priors” drollery may be an arcane allusion to the rectory, or, by 1814, to Barnsley Park. But why the secrecy?
Mystery has always surrounded Newton’s library. Why, for example, is there no indication, in Dr. Musgrave’s carefully drawn up catalogue, proudly labelled on the cover “Catalogue of the Library of Dr. James Musgrave Rector of Chinnor, Oxon,” that most of the books in it had originally been Newton’s? His will, similarly, in leaving this precious charge to his wife, simply refers to “the Library of Books standing in the said Parsonage House.” Mrs. Musgrave, in her turn, describes the library ten years later as “all the Library of Books that are in the Catalogue.” There’s no mention of Sir Isaac Newton anywhere. But there can be no question that the Musgraves knew that the books were Newton’s.9 It is hardly surprising, given this silence, that the books, when finally unearthed at Barnsley Park, were, as Stokeley reported, “stuck away in cupboards and corners where their owner did not even know of their existence.”
Mrs. Musgrave appears to have been the only member of the Musgrave family to have realized the importance of preserving Newton’s working library intact. Many years later the bookseller Heinrich Zeitlinger wrote, on the occasion of the surviving volumes finally finding a permanent home in the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge: “It would be difficult to figure any possession more precious than the very books which once belonged to the world’s greatest scientist” (Pilgrim Trust 8). We still don’t know how they found their way to Barnsley Park. But if it had not been for Jane Austen’s godmother, this irreplaceable treasure would not have survived.
There’s a note, pleasingly arch in tone, from Mrs. Musgrave to Sir William in the Gloucestershire Archives, which suggests someone who, unlike Mrs. Clay, had no interest in toadying to baronets. The emphasis on this occasion is hers:
Mrs & Miss Musgraves & Mr Willm Musgrave present their Respectfull Compliments to Sr William Musgrave & return him many thanks for the Honor he did them in calling on them when they really ware Unfortunately from home.
Mrs. Musgrave had a satirist’s eye for social nonsense. This was a godparent, unlike the Rev. Samuel Cooke of Bookham, whom the young Jane Austen would have enjoyed visiting.
The significance of these dates I leave others to decide. Mrs. Knightley died in 1813, and Austen began writing Emma at the beginning of 1814. James Musgrave, the 8th Baronet, died in the spring of 1814, and the “Newton Priors” letters were sent in the autumn of that year. Jane Austen began work on Persuasion in the following summer.10
1William Huggins was the author of a translation of Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, friend of Smollett, and himself a book collector. His wife, Mrs. Musgrave’s mother, was Anne Tilson, a cousin of the John Tilson whose children are frequently mentioned in Jane Austen’s letters.
2His great-grandfather James Perrot had married a descendant of the founder of St. John’s, and, like Jane’s brothers James and Henry, he probably attended St. John’s on a Founder’s Kin scholarship. The Musgraves’ sons were also at St. John’s, and the younger of the two, William, was a college fellow during the period when Austen’s brothers were there.
3He inherited Barnsley Park from his unmarried aunt Cassandra Perrot. There’s a glancing reference to this disposition at the beginning of chapter 4 of Austen-Leigh’s Memoir, “The last of this [Perrot] family died about 1778, and their property was divided between Leighs and Musgraves, the larger portion going to the latter” (58).
7“In 1800 [Thomas Musgrave] inherited a baronetcy from his brother, and on 29 April 1802 he became a full general. He died, unmarried, at his London home, 21 Bolton Street, Piccadilly, on 31 December 1812. . . . His cousins Mrs. Jane Clay and James Musgrave (who inherited the baronetcy) were the main beneficiaries of his will, by which he left an estate liable for duty valued at £45,000” (Massie).

Pickings are slim between Christmas and New Year’s, but here are a few things that have caught my eye.
- Emily Nussbaum has a lovely review/defense of the smart yet sentimental TV show Parenthood in the latest New Yorker. I’ve never quite committed the show myself—it’s uneven, and the odd awkward turn sometime sends me packing—but I always come back to it, for exactly the reasons Nussbaum lays out.
- George R. R. Martin posted a Theon POV teaser chapter for his next Song of Ice and Fire book and promised another one this summer. No word on when the full book will be published, but knowing him, 2020 seems like a conservative bet. (Via Vulture.)
- Tom and Lorenzo have been revisiting season one of Downton Abbey in anticipation of the second season, and their posts thus far have been smart and perceptive and funny and insightful—definitely making me look forward to the U.S. premiere January 8!
- HBO’s first preview for Game Change (based on what Gawker describes as “the definitive account of gossipy things that people told Mark Halperin and John Heilemann during the 2008 political campaign”—a droll nonrecommendation that made me laugh out loud) practically sets up Sarah Palin as the shark from Jaws, with menacing music and dark silhouettes and Woody Harrelson looking like he just opened his eyes and realized he’s standing in front of a firing squad. It is hilarious. Also, not subtle. Like, not at all. The complete opposite of subtle.

In late 2014, Erin co-founded an initiative called World Dramaturgy with Lithuanian director Elena Liutkute.
World Dramaturgy was a rehearsed play reading event of high quality international work, staged by professional actors.
The first event was held at The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch in December 2014, and was a staged reading of Bedtime Monsters by Henrietta Bollinger from New Zealand.
In January 2015, World Dramaturgy Evenings held a performance of Lucy Skates by Laura Sintija Černiauskaitė from Lithuania.
On 24 February 2015, World Dramaturgy Evenings moved to LimeWharf Annex, presenting an American play called You are Now Connected by Sarah Sigal who was present at the reading.
The event then moved to The Drayton Arms, where they held a reading of the Swedish play White Baby, supported by the Embassy of Sweden, a reading of The Call by Australian writer Patricia Cornelius and a reading of 5boys by Simona Seminič before winding up in 2016.

The West African Sahel region is land locked, arid, and poor. In the past ten years, this region—which includes Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and northern Nigeria—has become home to one of Africa’s most violent and successful Islamist extremism movements. Now, the Covid-19 crisis that has shaken the world has also harmed efforts to build peace and stability in the Sahel. Today, some of the worst violence in the Sahel centers in a region called Liptako-Gourma, which is where the borders of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso meet.
Before the Islamist insurgencies, the West African Sahel region already suffered from drought and food security problems brought on by climate change. This has contributed to irregular migration to Europe and to wetter, more economically stable parts of Africa. Governments and international stakeholders must continue efforts on countering violent extremism organizations in the Sahel regions of West Africa.
COVID-19 has added a new and dangerous layer to the Sahel crisis and will deeply affect the region’s stability in the long term. Extremist groups like al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the Islamic State and others have begun to take advantage of decisions by government and international development organizations to cut back their food security and peace-building operations as the virus has spread.
This crisis is mostly strongly felt in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, the Sahelian countries violent Islamist extremist organizations have had the most success. The Liptako-Gourma region has become an issue because its vast, complex landscape is an easy place to hide. This area is also rich in grassland and farmland and has for centuries supported herding cultures of the Fulani, Tuargeg and Arab ethnic groups. But ethnic groups more dependent on sedentary farming, such as the Dogon, have also long settled in this region. This has made Liptako- Gourma a flashpoint for conflict over land between different nomad groups, and between nomad groups and sedentary farmers. Extremist groups have taken advantage of this conflict.
Security dynamics in the West African Sahel
In Mali, Islamist extremists concentrate operations in the country’s center and northern parts, where the grasslands of the Sahel meet the Sahara. This broad area includes Liptako Gourma. The broader area is deeply rural and terrain very rugged, mountainous in places, and difficult for the Malian and international security forces to operate. The international forces include the French army’s Operation Barkhane and United Nations peace-keeping operations.
The proliferation of weapons from conflicts in nearby Libya, dating back to 2011, has further exacerbated the conflict in Mali, in Burkina Faso and in Niger. Moreover, the growth of ethnic militias, which have sprung up to protect their communities against jihadists, has opened the floodgates to unprecedented inter-ethnic violence across the region, especially where farmers and herders compete for access to land. This conflict is most prevalent in central Mali, where violence between traditional herding communities, such as the Fulani, and sedentary farming communities, such as the Dogon, have become especially intense. But in Burkina Faso, the country’s northern and eastern areas have in the past three years become operation centers for jihadists groups linked to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the Islamic State. Niger has been draw into the conflict along its shared borders with Mali and Burkina Faso in the west, and along its south western border with Nigeria, where Boko Haram is active.
The ethnic conflict in Mali alone has taken the lives of thousands of villagers and soldiers in the last three years alone. Since 2015, terrorist attacks in the Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger border region have left 600,000 people internally displaced within their own countries. In 2019 alone, according to the UN, jihadist attacks killed 4,000 people in these three countries.
Complications with COVID-19
Urban and capital cities of the Sahel are the epicenters of the virus. The virus’s spread in the Sahel does not prevent jihadists group from doing their network. In fact, they have used it to their advantage by claiming that COVID-19 is a divine punishment targeting the unbelievers in the western countries.
Despite attempts by the United Nations Secretary General to declare a cease fire– the Islamist coalition in the Sahel (including al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara) has continued to carry out attacks in their respective areas of operations against military positions, United Nations peacekeepers, international forces and civilian populations. This coalition operates under the name Jamaat Nasr al-Islam, known by the acronym JNIM. Translated from the Arabic the name means “Group to Support Islam and Muslims.” The jihadists have taken huge advantage of the security disorganization, and the weakening of regional government to strengthen themselves and expand their networks in rural areas across West Africa.
French, United Nations, and Africa security forces across the Sahel have been treading water in their fight with Islamist extremists. They have systematically killed or captured several major leaders, including the killing in early June 2020 of the al Qaeda leader, Abdel Malek Droukdel, in northern Mali. Jihadist forces have lost hundreds of fighters in battles over the last six months, but these successes seem to have made little difference in efforts to stabilize the region. With each leader lost in battle or to assassination, a new one steps forward. In attacks on Malian army camps in central Mali on April 6 and April 11, JNIM forces killed least 25 Malian soldiers, according to army officials.
With Abdelmalek Droukdel out of the picture, it appears that overall leadership of JNIM has fallen upon the shoulders of Amadou Koufa, a Malian national and member of the Fulani ethnic group. Koufa is an Islamist scholar and preacher who operates from the Liptako Gourma area. He rose to prominence in 2011 and 2012 when he proved his ability to deliver child soldiers to the jihadist movement, mostly teenage boys he recruited from the Quranic schools he founded across central Mali. Koufa is the self-appointed “sultan” of Macina and has survived numerous assassination attempts, including two situations in which France publicly announced his death only to see him emerge later in video interviews. Macina is the name of the 19th century jihadist empire that existed in central Mali from 1818 to 1862, when French colonial forces crushed it. Koufa has used this history to try and energize his movement. As a political tool, and means for raising money, JNIM, the group Koufa now heads, has been behind the kidnappings of many Europeans and Africans in recent years, including the president of Mali’s leading opposition political party of Soumeila Cisse. He was kidnapped in March in the north during a campaign sweep to promote candidates for Mali’s legislative elections. Until Now the opposition leader remains in the hands of the Amadou Koufa.
The Liptako-Gourma, a nest for the terrorist organizations
The Liptako-Gourma area become the nest of violent extremist organizations who are attracted to the region’s remoteness. Despite the presence of the African G5 Sahel joint forces and the 4000 French Operation Barkhane soldiers, and United Nations peace-keepers, there has been no success in dislodging the jihadists. These groups successfully use their superior knowledge of the geography and landscape.
The deteriorating security situation in the Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso border regions perfectly illustrates how terrorist groups use a local conflict to boost their numbers and their causes. Insecurity has worsened long-standing land conflicts between communities like the Tuareg and Fulani, which are traditional herding groups, and sedentary farming cultures such as the Bambara and Dogon.
There are also intense rivalries among the violent extremist organizations. Last April 16, for example, in the border of Mali and Burkina Faso, there were clashes between fighters of the Islamic State in the Sahara and fighters of JNIM. JNIM suffered the most, losing 50 militants in the fight while the Islamic State captured a further 40. As the overall violence continues, Sahelian leaders must reinforce the presence of security forces and development programs in the Liptako-Gourma while tackling COVID-19.
The long-term vision to tackle violent extremism in the sahel regions
Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger must put grassroots communities in the heart of their development programs to address the current situation. Furthermore, it’s important that policy makers design programs to tackle violence by investing in agricultural and cattle farming programs to assist farmers and pastoralists. Programs must also address issues of education and health care to deal with the root causes of youth radicalization. Many young people, particularly young men, have become disaffected as economic opportunities have collapsed first with the impacts of climate change, then with the rise of violent extremism, and now with the added problem of COVID-19.
Most of these rural and nomad areas are far from urban centers. In these areas, smugglers have long established routes for human trafficking and other criminal activities. Locals are compelled to adapt to this state of affairs. In the long-term, leaders in the Sahel regions must rethink the social contract between grassroots communities and the state by improving basic social services such as education and health services, as well as infrastructures development. For the region to establish a healthy stability, small rural communities need to feel a sense of belonging to state.

A recent survey reveals that Auburn University (AU) in Alabama spends nearly $1 million annually to employ 17 staff members in its Office of Inclusion and Diversity. Yet, the university has a poor record of enrolling low-income students — a group that traditionally includes minorities — and has raised tuition every year since 2005, causing some to question the effectiveness of the diversity office’s efforts.
The public university’s website shows a diversity staff comprised of a manager of diversity and inclusion, a diversity and inclusion special projects administrator, a coordinator for culturally diverse alumni, a multicultural center director, three diversity initiatives coordinators, a diversity student advocate, an assistant provost for women’s initiatives, two executive support assistants, an administrative support assistant, and a business manager.
A review of these 13 employees’ salaries — which are public record — shows that they collectively earned about $800,000 from June 2015 to May 2016. However, those salaries do not represent the total sum of employee salaries dedicated to diversity efforts at the university.
The Office of Inclusion and Diversity has 17 full- and part-time staff members — whose jobs are funded by taxpayer dollars — to administer “diversity initiatives and on-campus programs, including the Multicultural Center, the Educational Resource Center, women’s initiatives, community initiatives, and institutional diversity initiatives,” according to AU.
Furthermore, the university’s diversity Web page states: “Students who interact with and learn about people from a variety of backgrounds are more apt to understand, appreciate, and excel in the community they inhabit.”
Despite AU’s recognition of “economic status” as a key component of diversity, some criticize the university for tuition hikes amidst a lack of improvement in the areas of diversity and inclusion.
The school continues to raise tuition, and this fall, students will pay more than ever — specifically a 3 percent increase over last year — with annual residential tuition at $10,736 and nonresidential tuition at $28,881. In addition, nonprofit advocacy group The Education Trust ranked AU in the bottom 5 percent of colleges and universities nationally in providing access to lower-income students.
AU does provide scholarships that are intended to foster diversity as defined by the university’s Strategic Plan, which are awarded by the Office of Inclusion and Diversity, the Office of University Scholarships, and each of AU’s 12 colleges and schools, according to its website.


On Thursday, fans reported seeing a SnapStory on the singer’s account encouraging followers to follow a swipe-up link to a Discord chat room for the “The Chuckling Squad” account.
“Join this discord server for my nudes,” the story reportedly said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The original post was followed by several nude images, which were presumed to be of Lovato. Other posts promised photos and videos for those who followed the Discord link, the Daily Beast reports.
The images were reportedly live for less than an hour on the 27-year-old’s Snapchat before they were removed.
— aidan ♡🍃 (@aiidaannn)October 17, 2019
Although Lovato has yet to comment on the incident, fans of the singer have come to her defence on social media.
“Why do people think it’s ok to hack celebrities and leak their private photos?” one person wrote on Twitter. “Demi Lovato deserves so much better than this. We love you, Demi!"
Another said: “Demi Lovato nearly died a year ago, lost one of her close friends only a few days ago due to addiction struggles and now someone feels the need to hack her Snapchat and leak pictures. The world makes me feel physically sick.”
doesn’t matter your opinion of a celebrity, doesn’t give people the right to invade and leak their private moments. disgusted at the behaviour towards demi lovato right now because end of the day she’s only human.— j e n a ✨ (@fixawarrior)October 18, 2019
Lovato has a history of addiction and body image issues. In 2018, the singer attended rehab after she was treated for a drug overdose.
Since then, Lovato has been promoting body positivity on Instagram, where she recently shared a photo of herself in a bikini with the caption: “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited.”

now I write one for every year that passes before me.
I remember when I was six and my mother said to me
as I sat at the dinner table, while everything else was still too big
"enjoy your boredom now for later on, time will pass by so fast
you'll miss being bored".
I think I've lived with the fear of ever losing my boredom
so I waste my time just to prove her wrong.

In this post, we're going to talk about the different types of routines we all have and the importance that is having a defined routine for the day-to-day, whether is a morning or evening one.
Without much intro, let's get to it!
What are routines?
First, let's revisit some definitions of routine:
- A routine is a sequence of actions that have become automatic and are done repeatedly
- A usual set of activities or way of doing things
- An unvarying and constantly repeated formula, as of speech or action
It can be as simple as brushing your teeth after you had breakfast or taking a walk after you had lunch. But it can also be as complex as a morning routine where you have laid of all of the things you are going to do for the next 2 hours after waking up.
Routines can be both intentional or not, heading to a Starbucks before going to work or having dinner while watching Netflix is also a routine.
The important thing to note is that routines can work in our favor as they can hinder our performance if left unchecked.
Why are routines important?
The importance of a routine is that it allow us to be more efficient and consistent in the long run and avoids wasting time by deciding every day what are going to do next.
Imagine for a moment that you wouldn't have to go to workand would have the freedom to choose your own schedules and do things at whatever time you wanted to.
If you do different things at different times on all the days for a week, how many times you would be doing a certain thing at the same time in more than one day?
You would eventually gravitate towards a certain way of doing things (not to mention that not having some sort of structure in your daily activities for like a month would be totally maddening IMO).
And if you still think that putting so much structure in your weekly schedule will "inhibit" your creativity because you're not being "spontaneous" enough.
Turns out, that creativity in any endeavor is actually fostered by structure not hindered by it. As Scott Kauffman already wrote about it
Since a routine is a sequence of actions we have been doing repeatedly over and over, you could say that a routine is a string of specific habits that we now perform automatically without consciously thinking about it.
But let's take a look at why that process happens in the first place, why some routines makes us more effective than others and how does that part of our Operating System work.
A small peek into the brain OS
Let's look at what the research shows about building routines and habits.
Why you may ask?
Well... because Science of course.
When we encounter a situation in which everything is new and we don't have any previous experiences, the brain has to make decisions on how to face the situation.
The internal machinery is actively working taking in the information around and analyzing all sorts of possible situations before making a choice.
Then, after that previous analysis, the brain gives a response. In some cases, it is the appropriate response to the situation. In others, it is not and so the brain takes note and tries an alternative response the next time.
It continues this process of trying something, possibly failing, taking notes and try another option on and on.
Eventually, the results of the analysis and the notes taken allows the brain to learn which actions to repeat and which ones to remove from memory, enabling it to reduce cognitive load processing situations that have been encountered before.
The brain saves energy by automating these decisions of providing a particular resolution to an already encountered problem and that's how the process of habit formation works.
As these habits get created, the brain no longer needs to spend resources to analyze the situation, it already knows where to look for and what to do.
It essentially controls the resources of the system and allocates space in memory to respond to the different stimuli that come to it.
It also creates cognitive "scripts" to handle the load of all the known situations and the new ones that can appear. Like
if [ -f known_situation ] then runBehavior() else echo "This is something new!" fi
That's why we usually do several things without consciously thinking about them, like brushing our teeth or tying our shoes, or driving a car, etc...
You could say it also acts as an intermediary between the resources of the system (i.e. body) and the other people and things outside in the world.😉
Going from here
Knowing this, we can start modifying the scripts and make changes according to what will best serve us. We can put different habits into our routine that will help take our careers to the next level.
Want to become a frontend/backend developer? Make learning the language part of your routine.
Want to get a job at a company? Make applying and following up a part of your routine.
Want to get promoted and take care of bigger projects? Make exercise and good sleep a part of your routine to have more energy.
And so on and so forth.
Forming new habits takes some time however, establishing a following routine does not. The routine can stay while the things that change are the habits done in the routine.
According to this research, lifestyle change requires to maintain a routine with some habits that are geared towards the goal we want to accomplish. Adherence to the routine over the long-term is what makes the changes actually occur.
Interestingly, not following the full routine for a day don't have lasting negative effects. Nonadherence to the routine ocassionally does not derail the progress made and perfectly sticking to a specific routine is not a goal to be pursued.
That being said, how can we implement routines that will help us be better at what we already do or help us level up our careers?
Here are some ideas you can try to add to your routine and change the different things you already do daily.
These are just some recommendations of things you can start incorporating to your routine and see if it works for you or not.
I don't pretend to be an expert here and tell you that if you don't wake up early or try to be more of a "morning person", or exercise in a fasted state, or drink your coffee exactly at 9 am then you won't be as successful as you could
Bear in mind that by definition a routine involves more than one activity done together. It's a string of habits chained together to deliver a certain result (like getting you ready in the morning and primed for a great day).
Getting up an hour earlier
With the current forced work from home, we can take advantage of saving the commute time, and instead, we can wake up earlier and have time for things to do before the workday begins.
For most of us, that is typically at 9 am. So if you normally wake up at 8 then put your alarm at 7:40 for a couple of days, then at 7:20 for some other days and so on until you can wake up at 7 am no problem. And the same process if you wake up earlier than 8 am.
This is important because we are usually the most creative and the most primed for learning new things in the first hours of the morning.
That's why most of the advice out there goes towards doing your "MIT" Most Important Task first. It's the time when you can bring your best self forward.
Also because if you normally wake up and start checking emails and messages, you get in a reactive mode and if you screw up the morning, the rest of the day isn't going to go too well.
"Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it." -- Richard Whately
Tim Ferriss most commonly says that if you "win the morning" you will also "win the day".
Make your bed
This goes as part of the "organizing your space" process, specially if your room is your workspace. You know what they say "clear space, clear mind"
Also, Tim Ferriss, Admiral William H. McCraven, and others advocate for this practice saying that even if a small act, it gives you a sense of control and your first accomplishment of the day than can lead to others like eating a good breakfast and brushing your teeth.
Read a book
Having set aside some time to read is especially important and if you're doing in the morning (when your brain is rested and ready to learn, remember?) it is even better for retaining the knowledge and have it readily available if a situation happens later where you can use it.
Reading non-fiction and something you can learn from and apply in your daily life is like the best option, but then again if you have a story or novel that you've been meaning to finish this is the moment to do so.
Also, this is a time for you and you only so read whatever interests you and have that time to focus on something different than your obligations for a moment on your day.
Set your priorities for the day
One of the main reasons to have a routine for the mornings is to set the tone for the day and have it be your platform for launching you into a productive mode for the tasks you have to accomplish.
I already briefly mentioned what the MIT's are, though you can see them explained in more detail here
Writing them in the first hours means that you know what you'll be doing and have a plan for action going into the workday.
Also, since we are talking about priorities you can follow the "Three Goal Theory" that says you should have 3 and only 3 goals to accomplish on the day. If you get them done you can consider the day to have been successful.
My current routine
As a way of providing an example, I'll tell you what my morning routine looks like. I've been having this one since the first weeks of June and it has been going well so far.
I have in my pc desktop one of those post-it notes, in Windows, they are called "quick notes" detailing the time at which I should start, the activities I should do and an approximate time at which I should finish before going into the workday.
It reads as follows:
Start time: 6:30 am
- Go to bathroom
- Get some lemon water
- Read current book
- Breathing exercise
- Write weekly article
- Take a shower
- Precision Nutrition lesson
End time: 9:00 am
This has been the starting routine I had since early June and I've been doing some adjustments here and there and adding extra activities after a couple of weeks when I have a better grasp on things that I'm already doing.
Naturally, don't expect to have a full-packed routine out of the gate. You can start just by doing 2 things together and then adding a third one.
Also, if you want to start making positive changes, review your current routine cuz you don't want to have conflicting habits in the same one.
You can add something at the end (or the beginning) of your current routine if that routine is working for you, or start a new one and replace the things you don't want with better alternatives one by one.
Again don't do everything at once, better to have a routine with just 2 good habits than to have one with 3 bad and 1 good habit.
With that "framework" you can start slowly but surely making changes that with time will undoubtedly make you a better person and will help you take your life and your career to the next level.
So, there you have it. Some science behind how our OS works, how we can start making changes to it, some ideas of things you can try to add to your routine, and a concrete example of how it looks all put together.
That was it for this week's post. Thanks for reading so far, hope it has been useful. I'll be back next week but for now... Stay awesome my friend!

Jasmine Wizniak and Brenda Wizniak appeared before the regular meeting of Council Monday in order to raise awareness regrading ALS.
ALS – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease is a fatal neuro-degenerative disease with no known cure or effective treatment, explained Jasmine Wizniak.
ALS is the most common cause of neurological death in Canada with a mortality rate for ALS of approximately 2/100,00 per year.
“Although ALS is as common as MS, it is still relatively unheard of due to the short prognosis of two to five years from date of diagnosis and the short lifespan is the principal reason for lack of public awareness which in turn results in a lack of financial support for research to find a cause and cure for ALS,” detailed a letter circulated to Council.
The disease hits close to home for the two women.
“This cause is close to our hearts . . . as my husband, Jody Wizniak was diagnosed with this devastating, fatal disease this past December,” explained Brenda Wizniak.
Since June is ALS Awareness Month “We, as a family want to create awareness in our community of this disease,” said Brenda Wizniak.
Members of Council received a corn flower pin.
The cornflower is a symbol of Hope and is the National flower of Hope for ALS/Motor Neuron Disease and grown in all ten Canadian Provinces and three Territories.
“The blue cornflower is to ALS what the daffodil is to cancer,” said Brenda Wizniak.
To help raise awareness Yoga in the Park will be held downtown on June 19, she said.
Brenda Wizniak also pointed out Major League Baseball held the first Lou Gehrig Day this past week on June 2. Each home team had a “4-ALS” logo in the ballparks to mark Gehrig’s No. 4 and all players, managers and coaches wore Lou Gehrig Day patches on their uniforms. Lou Gehrig died at the age of 37 from the disease.

Why isn’t the 2018 Ipswich Rudolph Run coming to Ravenswood?
Families on the Ravenswood estate in Ipswich have spoken of their disappointment after it was announced Rudolph and Santa won’t be passing through their streets this year.
Ipswich Round Table, who organise the Rudolph Runs, has announced it is unable to do so for logistics reasons but says the nearest place for Ravenswood residents to see Santa will be when it starts at John Lewis on Futura Park at 6pm on Tuesday December 4.
However residents have expressed sadness at missing out. Posting on the Ravenswood Residents Facebrook group, Chris Kroger said: “This is really, really sad.”
A Round Table spokesman said: “The volunteers who plan and undertake the Rudolph runs are all people with full-time jobs and many have young families.
“This year we are out 16 nights collecting between 6.30pm and 9pm.
You may also want to watch:
“We try our best to visit as much of Ipswich as possible but we can’t always achieve this because there are only so many nights we can be out. “Unfortunately on this occasion we had to make a difficult decision as we couldn’t, in the time available, do the same number of nights as last year. “However our first aim is to raise money for charity and I am sure, although they are disappointed, the residents of Ravenswood will understand the benefit of the work we do for our local community.”
The Rudolph Run has been going for 40 years and in that time tens of thousands of pounds has been raised for local charities and causes.

The Round Table spokesman added: “This year we are collecting money to support dementia care in our local community. In addition to raising vital funds to help good causes we also aim to bring Christmas to as many people and families in Ipswich as we possibly can.”
Posting on the Ravenswood Residents Facebook group, Monika Pavlikova, said: “I’ll go out with a banner if needed we want our Santa back. Little things like this make Christmas time special.”
Ipswich Roundtable have confirmed the Rudoplh Run will be starting from John Lewis on Futura park at 6pm on Tuesday, December 4. They have said this is the nearest option for people living in Ravenswood who want to see Santa.
They added: “People are welcome to come and see Santa and Rudolph at any of the starting points on other runs throughout December.”

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle meat, onion and cheese evenly over the bottom of the dish. Place the dish in the oven while it’s preheating for 3-5 minutes to let the cheese melt. This helps the onions stay in place and not float all over when you pour the egg mixture over everything.
Put the remaining ingredients in a blender on high for one minute. Pour blender contents over top of the meat/onion/cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Test with a knife to see if it's done. You want it to come out clean and see that the egg is set and not runny.
-Recipe can be cut in half and baked in a 9 inch pie dish or 8x8 square glass pan.
-I find my lite cheese at Trader Joes.
-If you want to double the recipe, use a 9x13 glass casserole dish
-This works great with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner. It also tastes great with diced ham (leftover or not). The macros would be different for ham.
“Biceps After Babies Easy Blender Quiche” Serves 6
Cal 301 C 20 g F 13 g P 26 g
PRO TIP: Serving size is 6 for this recipe. Since cook times vary and other factors can affect the weight of your food. You can weigh the cooked weight of the meal in grams and subtract the weight of the baking dish and divide that by 6 (servings) to see how many grams one serving is.

Alaska health care experts concerned over hospital capacity, staffing with COVID-19 surge
JUNEAU, Alaska (KTUU) - COVID-19 cases in Alaska are surging and health care experts across the state are concerned about the impacts on hospital capacity and staffing.
“The current situation with the COVID-19 epidemic in Alaska shows that sustained community transmission is occurring widely throughout the state,” said Dr. Thomas Hennessy, an epidemiologist with the University of Alaska Anchorage, to a House Health and Social Services Committee hearing on Tuesday.
The Department of Health and Social Services reported 215 COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, the fifth straight day that more than 200 cases have been reported in Alaska. Alaska has also seen 27 consecutive days with more than 100 cases reported per day.
A majority of regions across Alaska are at the “high” alert level, exceeding the threshold of 10 positive COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people over the past two weeks. Only Southwest Alaska and Southeast Alaska are at a lower alert level.
The City and Borough of Juneau shifted the city’s alert level back to “high” after 35 cases were announced on Tuesday. Twenty-four of the new cases are part of an outbreak among Juneau’s homeless population, which stands at 62 positive cases.
Alaska does have some bright spots, it continues to have the lowest COVID-19 death rate across the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state is seeing nine COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 people compared to 182 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 people in New Jersey.
The state’s COVID-19 hospitalization rate also remains low. Across Alaska, there are currently 38 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and 10 patients on ventilators.
The state’s hospitals also have 563 inpatient beds available and 43 intensive care unit beds available, but health experts warn that that doesn’t tell the full story. They also warn that the current hospital capacity could change quickly.
Anchorage has averaged 95 positive cases per day for the past 14 days compared to an average of 40 positive COVID-19 cases per day in mid-September. Hospitalizations and COVID-19 deaths have often lagged behind a spike in cases.
“So, given the previous trends, I would expect hospitalizations to continue increasing over the next few weeks, or longer, depending on the case counts,” said Dr. Janet Johnston, an epidemiologist with the Municipality of Anchorage’s Health Department.
Jared Kosin, the president and CEO of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association, agreed. “We don’t think the wave has fully hit our doors yet, so we expect hospitalizations to increase into the foreseeable future,” he said.
The governor’s COVID-19 disaster declaration is set to end on Nov. 15 which could cause other challenges.
Allowing the declaration to expire would cause the governor’s health mandates that are currently in effect to be rescinded. Kosin said there could be other impacts, too.
The state could be ineligible to receive federal funds for COVID-19 without a state disaster declaration. Federal waivers that allowed telehealth services to be expanded could also be impacted, Kosin said.
Legislative leaders told Alaska Public Media in early October that the Legislature did not have the numbers to call itself into a special session to extend the disaster declaration. “At this time, the governor is still assessing his options on the disaster declaration,” said Jeff Turner, a spokesperson for the governor’s office, on Tuesday.
Health care staffing in Alaska continues to be an issue, too.
Dr. Bob Onders, the medical director at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, said he had recently requested critical care nurses from the Indian Health Service with a rising case count. COVID-19 cases rising in the Lower 48 means there is a shortage of available health care workers across the country.
“We’re going to be in a very challenging situation to provide the level of care that’s needed as the counts continue to escalate,” Onders said.
Much of rural Alaska has seen a recent surge in COVID-19 cases. The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta recorded 78 new cases on Tuesday and one new COVID-19 death.
Dr. Ellen Hodges, the chief of staff at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corp., said younger Alaskans are driving a rise in cases in the region, a trend that’s been seen across the state. Hodges said that 62% of recent COVID-19 cases had been recorded in people who are under the age of 40.
The influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus seasons are also set to begin soon. Health care experts warn that could further stretch the state’s hospital system. “Rural Alaska is at a tipping point for exponential growth,” Hodges said.
Colder weather has an impact, too. With more people meeting indoors, Alaska’s health care workers are recommending people across the state redouble COVID-19 precautions: wear face masks, avoid large indoor gatherings and maintain a safe social distance.
“The time to act is now,” Hodges said.

The option to "TOSS" a bomb, or lob it, is not the most accurate way of putting munitions onto a target. A much better way of putting a bomb onto a target from distance while staying out of range of some AA systems is of course Glide bombs, or PGMs wich can be relesed at a much greater range then dumb bombs and with far greater accuracy. The newest of these systems is the JDAM.
[what is "DIVE TOSS BOMB MODE" and why the pilot need that if u can use CCRP and CCIP mode?]


Hoboken Councilman-at-Large Dave Mello will be seeking re-election on Freeholder Anthony Romano’s mayoral ticket, the campaign announced late this morning.
“He is someone that comes with a lot of successes and experience: eight-year Hoboken councilman, a former teachers union representative, currently a public school teacher in Jersey City, father, husband and an integral part of the successes Hoboken has achieved over the course of the last year,” Romano said of Mello in a Facebook video.
Romano announced 2nd Ward resident and New Orleans native Laini Hammond as his first running mate at a fundraiser last month and speculation began whether or not Mello, who was also in attendance at the Blue Eyes Restaurant, would be joining the slate.
On July 27th, two days later, Mello, a running mate of Mayor Dawn Zimmer in 2009 and 2013, announced he would be seeking re-election as an independent.
Evidently, those plans changed based on this morning announcement from Romano’s Washington Street campaign headquarters.
“It’s an absolute pleasure to be joining this slate. For the City of Hoboken, I think Anthony Romano, in 2017, is the mayor of Hoboken the people of Hoboken really need,” began Mello.
“He has a wonderful, proven record of dealing well with outside parties. There are so many outside parties that are at the key to so many issues that are at the forefront of Hoboken and it’s citizenry today: whether it be Suez Water, New Jersey Transit, the county, the state or federal governments.”
Mello also noted that he plans on putting a focus on improving the roads and water system, as well as building larger residential development – point reminiscent of his kickoff speech from last month.
The filing deadline for the November 7th Hoboken municipal elections is September 5th, so the Romano camp would more than likely announce their third and final candidate before then.

- CNDB Online
In “Daughters”, three young women form a common body with their mothers and grandmothers. A work choreographed by Simona Deaconescu, this is a performance about transformation, told with black humor, at impossible speeds. Three girls on roller skates alter a predetermined chronology, in which their desires are mediated by stories and body images of the two generations that precede them.
The show puts the female body in an extended context, sometimes real, sometimes fictional, in which the birth of each marks an important moment in space and time. They are the daughters of a confused generation, a resilient community, in which reality is never what it seems.
In Daughters there is no present tense, but a perpetual feeling of temporal uncertainty, in an atmosphere of tension and accumulation. The music is signed by Monocube (DE/UA), whose sound universe is a reflection on the contemporary world through analog instruments.
The visual composition, in the form of a tube TV installation, is signed by the artist M. Kardinal (DE) and made by methods that deconstruct the forms, the images becoming distorted and blurred in their play with the subject and the object.
“In Daughters I am interested in exploring that feeling of intimate closeness, in a set-up that can dislocate and amplify the movement. Far from being a pretentious and super-intellectual work, the show has ironic accents and develops in a concert atmosphere on Monocube’s music. Daughters begins in the slowness of my last works and ends at an impossible speed. Roller skates create a parallel speed that introduces the viewer to a dark surreal universe. For me, the three dancers are three cyborgs who explore sexuality, power and freedom, making unexpected leaps in time.” – Simona Deaconescu, choreographer
Concept and choreography: Simona Deaconescu
Visual composition: M. Kardinal
Light design: Alexandros Raptis, Ionuț Cherana
Production: Laura Trocan
Simona Deaconescu works interdisciplinary, at the border between performance, installation and film, examining social constructs, between fiction and reality, sometimes with irony and black humor.
She completed her bachelor’s and master’s studies at the choreography department of the National University of Theater and Film in Bucharest.
She received the danceWEB scholarship in Vienna (2014), the National Center for Dance Bucharest Award (2016), was nominated as an Aerowaves Artist in 2018 and 2022 and as Springboard Danse Montréal Emerging Choreographer in 2019.
For the last two years, she has been a resident artist in the European projects Moving Digits and Biofrictioni, and in 2021 she became Forecast Mentee, under the mentorship of the French choreographer Mathilde Monnier.
Her works have been selected and presented on dance and theater stages, cinemas, galleries, museums and architectural sites, reaching audiences in Europe, North and South America.
In 2014, she founded Tangaj Collective, and since 2015 she has been the co-founder and artistic director of the Bucharest International Dance Film Festival.

One of his weapons is a curved Elven knife, given to him by Galadriel, the Elf Queen, in Lothlorien, in a restored scene from the extended version of "The Fellowship of the Ring". It proved to be a valuable asset to Strider as he journeyed into territories of evil, including the Battle of Helms Deep, and in his battle against Lurtz, the leader of Sauron's evil breed of Uruk-Hai.Strider carried this beautiful knife on his side in its genuine leather-wrapped sheath.

Your family farm. Waterfowl that give you such pleasure to watch. Scenic views of the Chesapeake Bay. Three centuries of agrarian economy. Do you want to see it all preserved? Would you like to give your children and grandchildren the opportunity to enjoy the treasures of the Eastern Shore? Contact us today about protecting your land with a conservation easement. To contact ESLC, please click here.
|The following generally outlines the key steps in completing a conservation easement:
How can I protect my land?
You can protect your land by donating or selling a conservation easement– a contract between you and an organization, like ESLC, that forever protects your land. By donating an easement you receive tax benefits, and by selling an easement you receive payment. Our land protection staff can help you find the option that best suits you and your land.
Frequently Asked Questions about Conservation Easements
What uses are prohibited on land subject to a Conservation Easement?
Most conservation easements held by the ESLC prohibit commercial and industrial activities other than farming, forestry, and other open-space uses. In addition, the terms of the conservation easement will restrict future residential development and subdivision of the property to a mutually agreed upon level. In general, the terms of conservation easements are flexible (within broad ESLC and IRS guidelines) and can be tailored to meet the needs of an individual landowner. Agricultural use is encouraged and forest harvest practices are allowed, or if the woodland on the property provides important wildlife habitat, the landowner can elect to limit forest harvesting for conservation purposes.
Does granting a conservation easement give the public the right to enter my property?
No. You continue to maintain private ownership in your property and the conservation easement conveys no rights to the public for access.
How are conservation easements enforced?
During the process of drafting the conservation easement, ESLC staff will document the condition of the property at the time of donation. Then, the ESLC will take on the responsibility to regularly monitor the property and to ensure that all future land uses are consistent with the terms of the conservation easement.
What type of land is eligible for a conservation easement?
The ESLC will consider acceptance of a conservation easement on lands that yield a significant public benefit and protect important conservation purposes. These properties may contain natural habitat, open space for scenic enjoyment, farmland, forests, or other natural features.
Does an easement impact my ability to sell the land?
No. A landowner can sell or other-wise convey land protected with a conservation easement. Since the easement is permanent, the restrictions run with the land and bind all future owners.
What are the benefits to the landowner?
The landowner can be assured that their land will never be developed beyond that level agreed to in the easement. In addition, the landowner and his or her heirs may be eligible for significant income tax, estate tax, and property tax savings for donating a conservation easement. For more information on this topic, please see our fact sheet on Tax Benefits From a Conservation Easement Donation.
|The explanation of complex tax and land planning issues provided in this fact sheet has been greatly simplified. For more detailed information and to ensure that a conservation easement donation will qualify for the described tax deductions in your particular situation, you are encouraged to seek professional counsel. Eastern Shore Land Conservancy staff cannot assure the deductibility of an easement donation.|

Hello Persianstart , today 2022-06-01 15:32:00 im created this article about ‘Meowdash’: Stray Animals Get Food Delivered by Mini Car in Adorable Videos enjoy and it will takes 2 until 5 minutes to read the content .
A man’s unique method of delivering food to stray animals has captured hearts on the internet and gained him an audience of millions.
In the United States, an estimated 70 million cats and dogs are homeless on any given day, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). But those who seek to help stray cats and dogs must exercise caution since frightened, sick or injured animals can act unpredictably.
The Humane Society warns that a stray animal is likely to scratch or bite its rescuer. Sometimes it is impossible to safely restrain the cat or dog, in which cases the group advises calling a local animal control agency.
However, an anonymous pet lover who goes by @Homelessworlds on TikTok has found a way to feed homeless animals without going anywhere near them. Using a miniature remote-controlled car, he delivers a dish of freshly served meals to stray cats and dogs on urban streets.
The Good Samaritan has documented his food deliveries in a video series since March, garnering a following of 239,000 TikTok users along the way. His most-viewed video of a delivery to three cats, one of which approached suspiciously before consuming the whole meal, has been watched 17.9 million times.
In a video from May 27 with 3.7 million views, the car drove up to a cat lurking behind a storefront pillar. The feline, which looked scrawny and potentially sick with swollen eyes, took a brief sniff before rapidly devouring the entire plate of food.
Viewers were touched by the creative delivery service, which they compared to apps popular with humans.
“Awe the kitty was happy that his meowdash came,” said one comment.
“My dude literally ordered Uber eats,” another gushed.
“This is a good idea because some stray cats are afraid of humans or aggressive,” noted another appreciative viewer.
An earlier delivery to a stray dog, shared on March 26, has racked up over 14 million views. In mere seconds, the hungry dog licked the plate clean.
Below, commenters called the TikToker an “angel” and a “wonderful human being.”
“I think we will have to name you Meals on Wheels gentleman,” noted one of his viewers.
“This needs to blow up,” said another fan.
In the comments section of a video from May 10, the delivery man told viewers that one of his customers had found a home.
“We have sheltered a kitten,” he announced.
Newsweek reached out to @Homelessworlds for comment.
If you’re in a position to take in a stray cat, experts outlined the best ways to catch, feed, and adopt stray kittens.
One stray dog who went from digging in trash to looking at his owner with love might inspire rescuers.
And if keeping a small creature in your yard presents issues, you might check this easy DIY fix.

LONDON (AP) — The respected British broadcaster BBC is facing questions about its integrity following a scathing report on its explosive 1995 interview with Princess Diana. Britain’s justice secretary said Friday that the government would review the rules governing oversight of the BBC after an investigation found that one of its journalists used “deceitful behavior” to secure the interview and the corporation obscured this misconduct for 25 years. Diana, who was already separated from Prince Charles, said her marriage had failed because Charles was still in love with an old flame, Camilla Parker Bowles. The interview marked the first time Diana had offered her side of the story in what was dubbed “the war of the Windsors.”
The post The Diana Interview: A look at the pivotal moment in time appeared first on WEEK.

Quality assurance in Higher Education is currently discussed all over Europe. The inclusion of students as equal partners on all levels of quality assurance is one of the main objectives of standards and guidelines of quality assurance in the 45 countries of the Bologna Process.
The students’ representatives that took part in a quality assurance audit of the Polytechnic University of Bucharest faced a grave suppression in their freedom of expression. During the recent audit carried out by the National Quality Assurance Agency of Romania – ARACIS at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, the evaluation committee organised a meeting with university students, in order to receive their input on the study conditions at the university.
The following day, three of the students were summoned to a meeting with the university rector, Mrs. Ecaterina Andronescu, on Thursday, the 14th of June. In this meeting they were accused of tarnishing the universities image. They were asked for explanations for their „hostile attitude” towards the university. The rector is further known as a prominent member of one of the major Romanian political parties. The students are members of the Students Organization of the Electro-technical Faculty in the University and members of the National Union of Students in Romania (Alianta Nationala a Organizatiilor Studentesti din Romania – ANOSR).
fzs – The national union of students in Germany stresses that the involvement of students is an precedent condition for effective quality assurance. The democratic participation of all stakeholders – including students is not only a European standard for quality in Higher Education but also reflects the role of Higher Education in the society. Thus, threatening the involved students in case of different opinions is an unacceptable behaviour. The action of the rector prevents students from taking part in such audits as active members of the higher education institution. Therefore it harms the democratic participation of students in quality assurance and in the development of Higher Education.
We express our support for our colleagues from Romania and declare our full solidarity with them. We demand the need of the Polytechnic university of Bucharest to inspect the past action. The students need the assurance, that they will not face any further harm due to their involvement in any kind of quality assurance procedures. The national Romanian Quality Assurance Agency needs to ensure that students that take part in their audit do not have to fear any threat due to their statements in the process. Legislation in the country needs to forbid political party influence on the students and all other stakeholders that take part in quality assurance procedures. The inclusion of representatives must be based on a clear representation of interests of independent experts.
