As the state continues to fight dire drought conditions, officials are working on the state's first water plan and they are asking for the public’s help.
This week, the Connecticut Water Planning Council will hold public forums around the state. Officials say they hope the meetings will raise awareness and encourage residents to conserve more.
Gov. Dannel Malloy and legislative leaders reached out to the council to develop the plan, which will be a long-term initiative to manage the state's evolving water needs and new climate trends. The proposal will also address the quality and quantity of water for drinking, recreation and agriculture.
An old bridge in Colebrook is one of the telltale signs of the historic conditions the state is facing. According to the Metropolitan District Commission, the town's river is 25 feet below average for this time of year, which exposed the usually submerged truss bridge.
Over the last several days, voluntary mandatory water restrictions were put in place in cities and towns all over the state from Waterbury to Bristol.
Tuesday’s meeting is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Norwich at the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments at 5 Connecticut Avenue. There is a meeting Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 10 Franklin Square in New Britain and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Southbury Town Hall located at 501 Main Street South.

The aggregation of α-synuclein (aSyn) leading to the formation of Lewy bodies is the defining pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Rare familial PD-associated mutations in aSyn render it aggregation-prone; however, PD patients carrying wild type (WT) aSyn also have aggregated aSyn in Lewy bodies. The mechanisms by which WT aSyn aggregates are unclear. Here, we report that inflammation can play a role in causing the aggregation of WT aSyn. We show that activation of the inflammasome with known stimuli results in the aggregation of aSyn in a neuronal cell model of PD. The insoluble aggregates are enriched with truncated aSyn as found in Lewy bodies of the PD brain. Inhibition of the inflammasome enzyme caspase-1 by chemical inhibition or genetic knockdown with shRNA abated aSyn truncation. In vitro characterization confirmed that caspase-1 directly cleaves aSyn, generating a highly aggregation-prone species. The truncation-induced aggregation of aSyn is toxic to neuronal culture, and inhibition of caspase-1 by shRNA or a specific chemical inhibitor improved the survival of a neuronal PD cell model. This study provides a molecular link for the role of inflammation in aSyn aggregation, and perhaps in the pathogenesis of sporadic PD as well.

World-leading genome study spells hope for sick babies
The largest study of its kind in the world, the Next Generation Children’s Project, uses whole genome sequencing that delivers results within a two to three week window in the NHS.
The study found that one in four babies had an underlying genetic condition and that in the majority of the cases, the diagnosis changed their treatment plan.
The advanced genome sequencing will help doctors identify genetic conditions in neonatal and paediatric intensive care units and enable doctors to intervene earlier, manage conditions more effectively, potentially improve outcomes and even save lives.
Importantly, parents who lose a child are more likely to be spared the agony of not knowing the full reasons why, and will be able to make more informed decisions about trying for a family again.
Proving that genomic tests are possible will have an impact on early diagnosis and treatment plans. This study will pave the way for this kind of testing to be offered nationally.

A small island with a sea of possibilities
Gozo forms part of the Mediterranean archipelago of Malta. Similar to Malta and Comino, the island is inhabited, although it is relatively small, with an area of around 67 km². Most of its attractions are spread over a length of 14 km and a width of 7 km, meaning that you can visit all of Gozo’s most interesting parts in just a day or so – by bike, car or even with a pair of comfortable shoes! However, we encourage you to linger a little longer in this picturesque place as Gozo is far less crowded than Malta, and the tourist industry hasn’t impacted its idyllic atmosphere and unspoilt nature. Here, you can experience slow living while basking in glorious sunshine.
We have best flight and accommodation offers in Malta
What to visit on Gozo Island?
Gozo’s Maltese name – Ghawdex – means “joy”, which is the perfect fit for this island, which can make you feel like you’re on cloud nine. Its beautiful, impressive views take in craggy cliffs, rugged caves and numerous beaches, making for a dream holiday destination. Gozo has a fascinating and difficult history and you can explore the island’s past by admiring some of its historical monuments. Gozo is home to numerous baroque-style religious buildings, an unusual archaeological site, museums and, last but not least, the citadel that towers over Gozo’s capital city, Victoria. Ready to go on a tour around the island with us? Here’s a list of Gozo’s most delightful attractions.
The Cittadella in Victoria
As a previous British colony, Gozo’s capital Victoria was named for the former British queen – the red telephone boxes that remain here are a reminder of this period in the island’s history. Today, residents use both Victoria and its Maltese name Rabat interchangeably. One of the city’s highlights is the citadel that rises above it on a hill. The fortress dates back to the 17th century and was once a haven for numerous pirate gangs and Turkish invasions. Today, the Cittadella offers an excellent viewpoint over the whole island and also houses the baroque Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is home to a statue of Pope John Paul II.
The citadel also houses four museums: the Natural History Museum, the Folklore Museum, the Archaeology Museum and the Old Prison. The Folklore Museum is an excellent way to see what life used to be like on the island – how people lived, the tools they used in agriculture, their clothes and their customs. The Museum of Archaeology, on the other hand, provides visitors with interesting exhibits from prehistoric times and the Middle Ages.
Xlendi, located on the bay of the same name, is a fishing village famous for two reasons. The first is its stone watchtower, which dates back to the second half of the 17th century. There are many watchtowers on Gozo, but the one in Xlendi is the oldest. In this picturesque village, you can relax on a small beach by the bay or sea salt pans – pools carved into the rocks from which salt evaporates. This is not mass production, and the locals only produce salt to meet the inhabitants’ needs. You can find even larger salt pans in Xwejni.

Megalithic temples of Ggantija
The eastern part of the island hides a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site. These are two temples surrounded by a wall, with construction dating back to around 3600 BC making them older than the Egyptian pyramids. Some of the boulders that make up the temples weigh up to 50 tonnes and it is said that the Ggantija temples are linked to the popular-at-the-time cult of the fertility goddess. Not far from the temples is the cave of Calypso, the nymph immortalised in the work of Homer who supposedly imprisoned Odysseus for seven years on the island. Unfortunately, the cave has been destroyed, but it remains a tourist site.
Gozo’s most beautiful beaches
Adjacent to Calypso’s cave is Ramla Bay, one of the island’s most beautiful and distinctive beaches thanks to its crystal-clear water and red-orange sand, and the perfect place to relax and sunbathe. On the subject of beaches, we have to recommend Gozo’s most popular bathing resort, Marsalforn, a typical, tourist town with a promenade and numerous cafes and shops. Here you’ll find a charming rocky coastline and a sandy beach that combine to create ideal conditions for watersports, including scuba diving. If you prefer more quiet and hidden spots, it is worth checking out some of Gozo’s secret beaches, including Ghajn Barrani and Mistra Rocks. Worth a trip is the famous Blue Lagoon, with its crystal-blue waters which is on the nearby island of Comino.
One of Gozo’s natural assets of the island is its many caves. The island is a paradise for divers, both beginners and advanced and you can dive with or without equipment, from a boat or from the shore – whatever you prefer! We recommend the Blue Hole, a cave on the island’s west coast in Dwejra. Reaching a depth of around 16 metres, this natural lakehides an underwater cave, tempting divers with its crystalline water and marine fauna and flora. You can also dive at Xlendi Bay, the Inland Sea, Cathedral Cave and Billinghurst Cave, all of which have calm, clear waters.
One of Gozo’s most popular attractions used to be the Azure Window, a rocky arch that jutted powerfully from the sea. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in 2017, but nevertheless, Gozo still has plenty to offer. On the northwest coast, there is a considerably smaller limestone rock bridge called the Wied il-Mielaħ which falls into the sea every bit as attractively as the Azure Window once did. The island is also home to wineries, tasty cuisine, and interesting local architecture – its sand-coloured houses fit beautifully into the landscape. Add to this its guaranteed sunny weather, efficient public transport, and friendly locals and Gozo makes the perfect holiday destination.

Pastoral systems are characterised by a number of features that are absent in arable cropping systems. These features include: (i) pastures are biologically diverse so interactions between plant species must be considered; (ii) economic return requires the inclusion of the animal as an additional trophic level; (iii) interaction between the grazing animal and the pasture is complex, influenced by the environment, plant species and animal behaviour and this creates feedbacks that can result in vicious cycles; (iv) animals spatially transfer substantial amounts of nutrients both randomly and systematically and this creates or exacerbates soil variability; and (v) whole farm management is both more complex and more important to system function in grazed compared to arable systems and it is harder to capture in simulation models. These challenges complicate the process-based modelling of pastoral systems and present significant obstacles to model developers and users.Here we discuss these challenges, describe the range of solutions used by different models and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these solutions. We have placed particular emphasis on the analysis of a range of possible solutions with the point of view that diversity between and within models is important to provide the flexibility needed for future uses.We find that for most challenges there is a diversity of solutions incorporated into the models and that there is the potential to capture additional diversity, if needed, from other models. We note an apparent lack of development in the modelling of extreme events such as very high temperatures, systematic animal-mediated nutrient transfers, pests, weeds and gene-environment interactions in pastoral simulation models and suggest that these subject areas should receive more attention.

X marks… the Spot!
Maria Paola tells me that this roll is called a michetta in her part of Italy and has been kindly sending me translations of Italian recipes after I posted asking for help on Twitter about a type of yeast called lievito di birra. I was slightly confused as to whether this was what Italians call fresh yeast or whether it was the yeast that is used to brew beer specifically. They’re all the same family but beer yeasts have different characteristics from the strain used to make bread. However this yeast is basically the same stuff we use for bread.
That small linguistic puzzle out of the way, I watched this great video from Vittorio e Laura which I discovered on YouTube, a couple more times through and translated the important bits for reference while preparing the dough.
Maria Paola also sent me the same formula in an email so it must be a fairly classic dough for this type of bread and that was really reassuring to know that I was on the right track. She has also sent me some wonderful techy information about getting the hole in the middle of the rolls. She has been wonderful!
The main problem was always going to be the right flour type. Anyone who has been baking for a while knows that flours vary enormously depending on how old they are, what sort of wheat they have been milled from and so on. The information you get on the side of the packet gives you a basic clue in the protein per 100 grams, which in turn is an indicator of the amount of gluten in the flour, but it doesn’t give you the whole story of how the flour will behave.
I dived into the store cupboard and found this bag of organic 00 flour with 11% protein and gave it a go.
Mixing the biga was no problem, however the following day when I came to mix the dough it all felt a lot less firm than it was in the video. Now, whether that was my flour type, or something else I have no idea. I mixed the dough in the Kenwood for the time suggested and had a very loose and soft dough at the end of it. I gently worked in at least another 100 g of flour (maybe more) over the various folding and fiddling about stages and really I want to have a few more goes, maybe with different flours, and see what results I get.
Dubiously I continued and here are the photos from the final stage when I have flipped the cut rolls onto the peel to go into the oven. I also only heated the oven up to 240 C or so, I couldn’t believe that it needed to be that much hotter. Next time however, I am going for the hottest oven I can manage.
So, back to my tale, Brian slid the rather flat looking rolls into the oven and we poured boiling water into the tray and shut the door. To my astonishment they started to spring almost immediately and must have quadrupled in size within the space of a minute. They smelled strongly yeasty all the way through the bake and I found that offputting, but the smell vanished once they had cooled down.
Once we had pulled them, singing and crackling, out of the oven and let them cool a little, I started to cut them. We had a couple for lunch and one had a hint of a hole, but that was it.
This afternoon, while I was thinking about what to write for this post I picked one up, they had staled slightly but I sliced one in half and lo and behold, there was a hole! Hee hee! Altogether two out of the eight rolls had the hole.
We’ll see what we can do next time! In the meantime many thanks Maria Paola for your enthusiastic support and to the lovely Vittorio e Laura too!
I celebrated the holes in the rolls by stuffing them with butter and damson jam and eating them greedily stale or not, they were delicious, tasting like bread rolls used to taste when I was a kid.
PS: In the video they use something that looks like an apple wedger to make the cuts, so if you can’t get hold of a rosetta press, that’s the way to go. (Wish I had seen that before !)
More beautiful Rosette Baking here from Brydie who started this quest and from Celia who found the presses in Sydney and has developed a dough using semolina rimacinata with great results. Best Aussie Baking Mates a Brit could have! Rosette (as they say in Italian) everywhere!

Just what was it that turned the Cincinnati Reds from disappointing dregs after 44 games (19-25) to a team capable of winning 12 of the final 16 against top competition?
After clinching a postseason spot, the Reds turn the pursuit to a higher playoff seed in the second game of the series against the Twins.
The Cincinnati Reds locked up a playoff spot on Friday night in Minnesota. What were the players saying after the game?
The Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago White Sox thanks to a big night from Joey Votto at the plate and a strong start by Tyler Mahle.
he Reds took an early lead for a fourth consecutive game. Unfortunately, that has resulted in just a 2-2 record. Tejay Antone could not get an out in the fourth inning, and the Reds top relievers in 2020, Lucas Sims and Amir Garrett combined to give up 5 runs and 3 home runs.
The Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cub face each other in the rubber match of this three game series at Wrigley Field.
An important three-game sweep of a divisional foe is within the Cincinnati Reds’ grasp today. Having taken the first two games of the weekend series at Milwaukee, the Reds can get back to the .500 mark with a win today over the Brewers.
The Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers meet at 7:10 eastern time tonight in game 2 of their current three game series at Miller Park.

So finally there is a couple of weeks for me to tidy my desk and have a bit of time to reflect on the then, the now, and the later on…
I am quite good at embracing the concept of rest and recovery, but its a bit like 100pmh to 0mph..which seems to suggest I always leave it a bit late and the recovery happens when I am in crash mode…nope..actuall feeling pretty darned good and ready to take on another term of lovely singing starting 23rd April.
It has been a glorious term and even though my term off did not go according to plan ( there was a plan? ) I feel I had a chance to appreciate how much my choirs mean to me and what an important part of my life singing with other people is.
Here is a wonderful version of Single Sky that I wrote and recorded with Andrew McCrorie-Shand as part of my 3 Bucket Jones life. Arranging it for my singing tribe, and the Bishopsgate Singers embracing it and singing it so beautifully feels likely creative dots are being joined, if the makes any sense. We also sung another Bucket Song in the Tubthumpers Chorus but yet to record it..Thanks to Bob Karper for filming it. I feel a string quartet moment coming on….
Yay! How about that..the illustrious Tom Robinson mentioned you on his mix tape programme…I got 60% of a three minute song played… I wrote, recorded, and put out in 2 days played, so that was an all roundly exciting moment for us all! There are some great pieces of new music on the hour long programme too.
The New Term starts next week. There are spaces in both the Monday and Tuesday choir for tenors and basses. Contact me if you might be interested in joining us, or have a look at the LONDON CHOIRS page .
As I lie in a darkened room unable to move far, apart from occasionally to tears ( most teachers will understand this end of term thing, you have to be built like godzilla not to end up feeling like this at the end of term – especially if it has been quite a lot of work, new challenges and you don’t resort to alcohol..ha ha ) . I am at present joined by a sleeping orange cat ( who has been renamed the orange slug) who does not even belong to me, just visits for food and quiet. I am recovering from one hell of a brilliant term of singing, the lovely emails keep coming through to reflect that, but it takes its toll. I wish I had someone who could bring me food …..now…please.
Here is one of my favourite moments from the term that happened on Tuesday night at the Conway Hall LONDON. Paul had a single camera at the back..thank you..soon Bob’s fancy version will come through…. Need more tenors and basses for next term..check out LONDON CHOIRS in my pages up top…enjoy!
Hallo people. So where have we been? It’s been a songwriting time for us both. Every week Andy and I individually write record and produce a song with the help of a word from https://www.iheartsongwritingclub.com which should be the weekly gym visit of any songwriter wishing to keep their songwriting muscles primed. Gitika is on […]
We are delighted to announce the release of our 5th album and we are very happy to be releasing under the wonderful umbrella of the Welsh Independent Record Label https://www.swndrecords.com/ The abum has taken more than a couple of years to finish.

December 22, 2014
MANILA, Philippines (AP) - The Philippine military says a navy patrol clashed with suspected Muslim rebels aboard several boats off a southern city in a fierce clash that killed one naval special forces member and wounded six others.
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala says the navy men clashed with suspected Moro National Liberation Front rebels, who were on board a large motorboat and eight smaller vessels early Monday off Rio Hondo, a Muslim coastal community in Zamboanga city.
Zagala says the clash prompted scores of residents to flee Rio Hondo.
The Moro group signed a 1996 peace accord with the government but many of its fighters held on to their arms and accused officials of reneging on a promise to develop an autonomous region for minority Muslims in the southern Philippines.

Intel goes to immersion with 32nm
Intel will take the wraps off its new 32nm process technology for microprocessors at the International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM) in December.
Intel claimed it is onto a second-generation high-k/metal gate technology and will, for the first time, adopt 193nm immersion lithography to scale down the gate length. The company claimed its process has the highest drive currents reported to date for a 32nm technology. The NMOS saturated drive current is 1.55mA/µm while the corresponding PMOS value is 1.21mA/µm.
Intel researchers used the process to build the largest fully functional SRAM array yet reported: a 291Mb SRAM array test chip with a cell size of 0.171µm2 and an array density of 4.2 Mb/mm2. The test chip operated at 3.8GHz at 1.1 V.
Also at the conference, researchers from HRL Laboratories will describe a possible shortcut to put the high speed of indium phosphide-based transistors into CMOS chips. They built entire wafers of high-performance 250nm double-heterostructure bipolar transistors able to switch at up to 300GHz on IBM’s 130nm RF-CMOS technology.
A partially fabricated wafer is bonded to a full-thickness, but smaller, InP epitaxial wafer. The InP wafer first is temporarily bonded to a handle wafer which allows the InP growth substrate and etch-stop layers to be removed. An aluminum heat-spreader layer is deposited as a blanket film, then the InP DHBT layers are permanently bonded to the IBM CMOS wafer’s top surface. In a first, the CMOS transistors showed no sign of degradation, while the InP transistors showed only minor performance impacts.
A further late paper is work from Tohoku University where magnetic tunnel junctions (MJTs) rather than SRAM cells are used to store data in a high-density 3D processor architecture. The researchers used the MTJs to construct a spin-transfer torque memory. Then, they used the spin-memories to drive reconfigurable 3D logic blocks fabricated with a standard 0.14µm CMOS process.


Morocco’s Islamists, like their counterparts in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere, succeeded in elections following the 2011 Arab uprisings. But the Party of Justice and Development (PJD) has managed to stay in government while Islamist parties elsewhere have resigned or have been forced out of government.
Egypt is facing a dire human rights crisis, according to a new report by Amnesty International. Security forces have “enjoyed near-total impunity for such human rights violations, government opponents, activists and journalists have been jailed for criticizing the authorities or challenging their narrative of events since the ousting of President Mohamed Morsi,” according to the wide-ranging report.
On June 21, senior State Department officials called on Egypt’s government to take a “very politically inclusive approach” and find ways to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood.
On June 4, former President Mohamed Morsi urged Egyptians to continue their non-violent revolution in message posted on his Facebook account. “All free nations have not recognized this criminal putschist regime thanks to Egyptians' continuing Revolution and their adherence to non-violence," he wrote.
Mainstream Islamist movements across the Arab world have struggled to close the gap — or, really, even define the gap — between religious ideals and the mundane realities of everyday politics.
Hezbollah has shown that will back Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s regime by any means necessary, according to a new International Crisis Group report. The Lebanese Shiite militia has helped the regime fight the Syrian opposition at least since mid-2012.
Some 72 percent of Egyptians are dissatisfied with their country’s direction, according to a new Pew Research poll. Nearly a year after President Mohamed Morsi’s ouster, about 54 percent of Egyptians prefer a stable government while 44 percent prefer a democratic one.
In Yemen, unlike in most other Arab countries, Sunni Islamists have had more than a decade of experience in politics, according to a U.S. Institute of Peace report.
A majority of Tunisians, 51 percent, believe Islamic principles should be considered when making policy or law, according to a new survey by the International Republican Institute.


National Health Strategy Consultative Forum is postponed by Minister Martin
The Minister for Health and Children, Mr. Micheál Martin, T.D., today (2 March, 2001) announced that he was postponing the planned inaugural meeting of the National Health Strategy Consultative Forum which was due to be held on Monday next (5 March, 2001). The postponement is a precautionary measure aimed at limiting the threat posed by Foot and Mouth Disease.
The National Health Strategy Consultative Forum is a key element in a wide-ranging consultative process to help develop the new Health Strategy which is due to be completed by mid-year. The Consultative Forum is made up of around 160 stakeholders in the health system, including health professionals, consumers and management. It will be chaired by Dr. Danny O’Hare and will provide advice to the Department of Health and Children on the style and content of the new Strategy.
The Minister hopes to reschedule this Forum at the earliest possible opportunity.

Blues powerhouse Shemekia Copeland gets her country blues on with “Outskirts of Town,” her 2015 winner featuring guests Robert Randolph, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Billy Gibbons. There’s a taste of Tina Turner, a pronounced twang to “Drivin’ Out of Nashville” and a deeply soul gospel feel to her reading of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Long as I Can See the Light.” She also does a funky version of her dad’s (the late bluesman Johnny Copeland) “Devil’s Hand” and a smokin’ treatment of ZZ Top’s “Jesus Just Left Chicago,” maybe her best vocal on the record.JON BREAM

Ruthie Foster is a hyphenate worth hearing: a blues-soul-gospel-folk singer. Her latest album, the Meshell Ndegeocello-produced “Promise of a Brand New Day,” hews toward soul, which is just fine, especially on the Memphis-flavored “It Might Not Be Right,” featuring William Bell.

One of metal’s most exciting new bands of the past decade also has one of the genre’s most dramatic stories of late. Georgia-based Baroness is back on the road with a stunning new album, “Purple,” after surviving a 2012 bus crash that caused serious injuries, leading to two heavily banged-up members quitting. On the new Dave Fridmann-produced LP, Baroness blended in a little more melody and emotion without wimping out.

Getting accepted to the Minnesota State Fair art show is a badge of honor for even the state’s top professional artists. Last year, only 329 Minnesotans were picked out of 2,365 applicants. Statistics haven’t been posted yet for 2016, but competition was no doubt tough and the winning art will be impressive. There are, as always, eight categories: paintings, sculpture, photos, water media, prints and drawings, textiles, ceramics and glass. Be sure to vote for the “People’s Choice” award.

Even though three quarters of Turks believe the European Union wants to dismantle Turkey, nearly half the population still wants the country to become a member of the 27-nation bloc, according to a new survey.
The survey, conducted by Istanbul’s Bahçeşehir University on public attitudes toward diversity, tolerance and extremism in Turkey, has revealed the lack of knowledge among Turks about the European Union and the country’s contradictory feelings toward the union.
One-fourth of all Turks said they do not know whether or not Turkey is a member of the EU, according to the research led by Prof. Yılmaz Esmer of Bahçeşehir University and conducted with the British Foreign Ministry. Twenty-eight percent said they believe that the EU "definitely aims" to dismantle Turkey, while 48 percent thought the dismantlement of Turkey is among the EU’s aims. Forty-four percent said the EU aims to spread Christianity while 28 percent said the EU definitely aims to spread Christianity.
Meanwhile, 48 percent said the EU aims to bring democracy to countries under dictatorship and 28 percent said the EU definitely aims to bring democracy to dictatorships.Turks want EU membership
Forty-one percent said they want to see Turkey become an EU member, while 16 percent said they want very much to see Turkey in the European Union. However, 80 percent of respondents said they believe no matter what Turkey does, the EU would not accept it as a member. The rest reported believing that if Turkey abides by the EU rules and makes changes in order to adapt to those rules, then the EU would take Turkey in as a member. Seventy-six percent said they believe the fact that Turkey is a Muslim-majority society influences the EU’s view on the country negatively.
One of the striking findings of the survey showed how anti-American sentiment is widespread among Turkish society across different ideologies and age groups. "At least the U.S. has succeeded in having the secular and religious circles agree on one thing," said Esmer, adding that the ruling Justice and Democracy Party, or AKP, and the main opposition Republican People’s Party, or CHP
, differ on many issues, with the exception of anti-Americanism, on which they have equally strong anti-American feelings.
The United States is seen as the prime responsible party for the world’s main problems. A large majority of Turks said they believe that dismantlement of Turkey is among the aims of the United States. 1Two-thirds of the public said they view extremist Islamic movements as a threat to both Turkey and the world. But a large majority, 80 percent, also held the view that there are serious threats in the world against Islam. Meanwhile, nine in 10 respondents said they believe it is possible to find peaceful ways to have the rights and the identity of Muslims accepted by the West. Eighty-two percent of the respondents said they see the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK
, as a serious threat to Turkey, while just 8 percent said the PKK is not a threat. Those who said they believe that anti-democratic initiatives pose a threat numbered 81 percent.BRITS SURPRISED BY SURVEY
Azerbaijan and Palestine were among Turkey’s most-liked nations, according to the survey. Among the most-disliked nations, Israel ranked first, followed by Armenia. The United States was third, then Greece and France. The United Kingdom came in sixth in the ranking. The findings of the survey were discussed at a conference Saturday. Giles Portman, the deputy head of the British Mission in Ankara, expressed surprise about the anti-British views shared by the Turkish nation. "Great Britain is one of the stronger supporters of Turkey’s EU accession," he said. "But we cannot rely on the survey completely as it shows some contradictory opinions."


We live in a world that relies heavily on the migration of families and individuals. What sacrifices would they have made to get to these lands of opportunity, to seek a better life away from ‘home’? What are they running from – or better yet, what are they running toward? In search of answers, I look at the exhibition Human Capital, which features works by Aleesa Cohene, Chantal Gibson, Brian Jungen, Jeannie Mah, Esmaa Mohamoud, Florence Yee, and Shellie Zhang. Curated by Tak Pham at the MacKenzie Art Gallery, the exhibition explores the legacies of Canadian immigration policies and practices and the overlapping histories of marginalized groups in Canada, and addresses pressing questions such as: who are the beneficiaries of colonial legacy? When thinking about immigrant populations, how are they setting up communities to feel at home?
There is immense complexity to why and how people migrate; that makes me wonder: is home a physical space? When we leave our place of birth, are we giving up a piece of ourselves in the hopes of gaining something new elsewhere? Immigrating, especially when moving from a so-called developing country to the so-called developed world, makes it hard for one to return. Cultural erasure, loss, and distillation occur with every passport stamp. As each day passes, migrants move further away from home, from our identity and sense of belonging. When immigrating to a new community, there are trade-offs that come with integration. When I moved to Canada at the age of 18, it was to Ottawa. I quickly set up systems of communication to keep in contact with family, in an effort to reclaim the sense of belonging I was losing. As I navigated my way through the culture shock, the extreme winter that my body wasn’t used to, and a school system different from the British structure I’d experienced growing up, I often felt nostalgic. I grew up in a place where there is a limit to the level of success you can reach. My parents worked hard and made sacrifices to ensure that my potential would not be restricted, and that I would flourish in ways they did not have the opportunity to.
However, that dream that my parents had for me did not come easy. The exhibition Human Capital brings attention to the many requirements you need to meet if you want to move to Canada. In 1967, Canada was the first country in the world to introduce a points system that allows immigrants to gain points for language fluency, education from institutions recognized by Canada, skills, and work experience, among other criteria. The higher your points, the higher your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for a permanent residency, and subsequently a Canadian citizenship. The system sounds equitable in theory, but in practice it is rife with unfair biases. Poignantly illustrated in artist Aleesa Cohene’s seven-minute video entitled All Right, the immigration experience is particularly jarring for marginalized folks – especially those who have been portrayed as “Others” in Canada’s historically Eurocentric view. Combining footage from immigration officer training videos, horror movies, and news broadcasts, Cohene interrogates the “forces of global capitalism[,] a lack of self-awareness and knowledge about what Canadian citizens are taught to fear and why we fear it.” The “Others,” or the feared, are often immigrants who moved for a chance of better lives for their families in Canada. Historically, immigrants are often met with ethnic and religious anxieties and prejudice, ironically from other settlers. This includes internalized racism within diaspora communities, belief in negative racial stereotypes, and an unconscious acceptance that white folks are ranked above IBPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of colour). The type of microaggressions I faced when I arrived were around basic things such as my accent, and the fact that I could speak “good English” – bearing in mind I’m coming from Zimbabwe, another former British colony. These mundane statements have gone a long way in establishing systemic barriers that work against IBPOC immigrants. Cohene’s work exposes the policies that have historically been placed to admit mostly white European immigrants to Canada. Domineering over the static background noise, the voice of an immigration officer is heard saying that his “role is to keep the rascals out.” Who are the rascals he is referring to?
While Cohene’s video evokes questions, further into the exhibition the curator offers a response. Stretching over a 10-foot section of a wall, artist Shellie Zhang’s sparkling vinyl mural, It’s Complicated, shows how immigrants use humour is used as a coping mechanism to process questions about their backgrounds, like “where are you from?” and “why are you here?” The word “diaspora” was originally used to refer to the involuntary mass migration of populations from their indigenous territories, however, it has since been updated to include those who move willingly. Zhang combines two separate words – “DIASPORA” and “HAHA” – to create a visceral statement that brings up complex memories and experiences associated with migrating. Understanding language is empowering, and Zhang uses humour to make her work approachable. Zhang says, “It’s Complicated re-envisions the generalization of diasporic communities as a unifying term, which celebrates multifaceted journeys and stories.” The history of immigration to Canada is a history of white hegemony. Painful examples in Canadian history are Humiliation Day, which remembers the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923, and the Head Tax of 1885. The tax was introduced to limit the entrance of Chinese immigrants even after 6,500 Chinese immigrant workers (that we know of) had risked their lives to complete the Canadian Pacific Railroad – a national project that not only connected the two coasts, but also bolstered a unified identity. Human capital is valued until it is not. The standards by which people are valued are not even set by the Indigenous stewards of the land, but by generations of colonizers who have left their own distinct imprint on the physicality.
As a recent resident, it staggers me to learn of the trauma and damage of Canada’s colonial past. South Afrikan Apartheid was based on the Canadian residential school system. This directly affected my home of Zimbabwe, a neighbour to South Afrika. The legacy of colonialism continues to be realized in Zimbabwe; and one example of this is in education. Had I not gone through a school system that offered a colonial curriculum, I would likely never have had the opportunity to immigrate to Canada. This curriculum, whether intentional or not, has contributed to cultural erasure. As I learned more about Canadian history, I started seeing similarities in my experiences and the experiences of those around me.
Colonial systems are set up to erase, hide, and alter histories in order to continue exploiting and marginalizing local and imported workers. To look deeper into the case of Black labour here, the exhibition displays a series of three large-format photographs, Deeper the Wounded, Deeper the Roots 1, 2 and 3 by artist Esmaa Mohamoud. Mohamoud interrogates the commoditization of Black athletes in organized sport, while paying homage to the histories of resilience and resistance within Black communities. The photo series features two men wearing football jerseys in distinctive African wax prints. They turn their backs to the viewers to reveal that their capes are made of thick chain links. Despite the chains visibly weighing them down to the fields in which they stand, the two men remain upright. Their heads look to a horizon beyond view. While the sportsmanship, dedication, and the hard work that goes into being an athlete are aspirational, the human capital of Black bodies is an intangible asset that has been and continues to be commoditized. Learning and unlearning these realities provides a way for us to take inventory of our understanding of identity and define a collective stance. From my point of view as a new settler, it is equally as important to learn about IBPOC histories, to untangle history from the Eurocentric view. In her work, Mohamoud contextualizes the everyday experiences of Black folks, showing the beauty of Black bodies and cultures, and the resilience that has existed throughout many generations. The role of Black labour continues to be a topic for discussion today.
I have given up many things in exchange for integration and belonging in Canada, however, I understand the sacrifices my parents and those before me made for me to be where I am. In “Home,” author Warsan Shire writes, “you have to understand that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land.” This statement rings true for many people who leave not of their own free will. I left Zimbabwe of my free will (and privilege) with the intention to return. Since then, I have realized the differences I can make in my family’s lives by being here and not back there. It is not an easy thing to balance your own personal need to feel a sense of belonging while also ensuring that the place you call home continues to survive in the ways in which you remember. Without works such as those in Human Capital, we would not have ways to reconnect with what we have left behind. The human capital goes beyond economics; We cannot look at the numbers without addressing the emotional baggage you carry with you to survive in a place so far from home. While some like Cohene, Zhang, Mohamoud and the other artists in the exhibition have the talent to create art that challenges beliefs, sheds light on issues, and questions histories, others can come to the exhibition with an intention to unlearn and relearn, and a willingness to challenge and interrogate any biases and preconceptions they may hold.

The vast sum of forty thousand pounds was swallowed up in the erection of Glocester gaol; but I will venture to assert, that on attentively considering its arrangement and advantages, no rational or humane man will say the money has been injudiciously expended. Before we quitted Glocester, we paid a visit to its quay, to which vessels of one hundred tons may be navigated. The business of this port is subject to the management and supervision of a customer and comptroller, a searcher, surveyor, and two boatmen; a privilege conferred on the city by Queen Elizabeth, in the twenty-second year of her reign.
A similar rich flat to that which we had before passed through in our way to Glocester, continued to accompany us as we proceeded towards Tewksbury; offering the additional beauty of extensive orchards, which breathed their odours through the air, and enriched the scene with a widely-extended sheet of beautiful blossom. As we approached Tewksbury, our curiosity was naturally excited with respect to the scene of a battle which had proved fatal to the fortunes of the Lancastrian party, and fixed the doom of the unfortunate Henry VIth. On enquiry we found it in a field or meadow, called appropriately Bloody Meadow, about a quarter of a mile to the west-

Who doesn’t love dogs? They’re the cutest animals on the planet, and we can’t help but feel drawn to them. But what happens when one of these furry friends howls? In this blog, we’ll be discussing the vocalizations and signals that hound dogs use to communicate with each other. We’ll also be discussing the purpose of howling in dogs and what happens when they do it. So stay tuned for all the fascinating details!
Why do hound dogs howl?
Hound dogs howl for a variety of reasons, but most of them have to do with communication. For example, when they’re feeling lonely or upset, they howl to draw attention to themselves. This can be alarming to humans, but it’s how the hound dogs communicate with each other. They also use howling as a form of communication during training exercises. By understanding the howling signals that the hound dogs make, you can better identify them and communicate with them in the same way.
What are the signals a hound dog sends with its howls?
Hounds howl to communicate with other hounds, humans, and other animals in their pack. Howling is an important part of their social lives, and it serves many important purposes. For example, howling helps protect the pack from potential threats by scaring off predators or warning members of the pack about an attack.
Different howling patterns are used to indicate different emotions or situations, such as when the hound dog is feeling happy, anxious, or scared. The tone and volume of a hound dog’s howl can also tell others where it is located. So if you’re ever lost in the forest and hear a howl coming your way, don’t be afraid! You can be sure that the hound dog is trying to get your attention!
Vocalizations of a hound dog
Hound dogs howl for different reasons. Some of the vocalizations that these dogs make include whining and barking. Knowing what these sounds mean can help you better understand them and how they are communicating with each other. For example, barking might be used to communicate with other dogs or to attract prey. Additionally, the howling of a hound dog can be indicative of their moods. For example, when a hound dog is feeling agitated or excited, they might howl.
What are the different vocalizations that a hound dog can make?
The howling of a hound dog is one of the most amazing vocalizations in the animal kingdom. It’s a warning signal that helps the dog locate lost people or objects, as well as signal territory boundaries. Finally, howling can also be used to communicate with other dogs. Hound dogs howl in a variety of ways, depending on the situation. For example, when the dog is lost, he howls for a long time until he’s found. When the dog is defending his territory, he howls aggressively.
What is the purpose of howling in dogs?
Hound dogs howl for a variety of reasons. Their vocalizations and signals help them communicate with each other and stay in contact with their pack. Typically, they howl between 6 and 10 times per hour, depending on their environment and arousal level. Hound dogs howl in a variety of ways, including barking, growling, and whimpering. Some signals used during howling include barking, growling, and whimpering.
What happens when a dog howls?
Dogs howl for a myriad of reasons. Some dogs howl to communicate with other dogs, to attract attention, or as a way to signal their mood. For example, hound dogs howl in a way that is specific to their breed and the circumstances surrounding the howling. For example, a schnauzer might howl in a high-pitched whine to indicate its excitement or anxiety. Knowing the different howling signals and how they’re used can help you better understand your dog and how he or she communicates.
Hound dogs howl for many different reasons! From attracting mates to warning off predators, howling is an important communication tool for these dogs. By understanding the vocalizations and signals that a hound dog sends, you can better understand the dog’s behavior and make better decisions when interacting with one. Stay tuned for more blog posts about canine behavior to learn even more about these amazing animals!

With heavy hearts we report that early in the morning of May 6th, Pearl the hamster passed away. She was dearly loved by a sweet little girl who treated her as her best animal friend. Pearl came to our home as a result of a kind Primary teacher who needed to find a home for her. Although tiny, she was just like 4 cotton balls stuck together, she gave love and friendship to Patch who loved her completely from the first day. We had come to accept and like that little critter because of our love for Patch. We will miss seeing her sleeping in her little pear house and enjoying strawberries and apple slices. Pearl was gentle and loved being held by Patch and her friends. Pearl is survived by Grandma Cola, her hamster friend in the cage that was next to hers.
Pearl will be laid to rest tonight during a private family service at the Clegg Pet Cemetery. She will rest next to Oreo the bunny.

Hello everyone! I managed to finish another IA cover. This time I chose to have IA sing Tsunamaru’s Rakenaria no Me or, Bud of Lachenalia! It’s a beautiful light and fluffy song with a rather upsetting meaning behind it, as are like the rest of Tsunamaru’s songs. I thought IA’s voice really fit this type of style and I’m really glad that this came out so nicely! I hope you can all enjoy my hard work!

South Italian Open 2005 Latin Finalist, Youth Canadian Champion 2003-2004, Italian Amateur 10 Dance Champion 2009 – 2012, IDSF World Cup 10 Dance Finalist 2008
To my mind the look on the floor is the most important thing. When the couple looks good, it seems more confident, strong, it’s more noticeable by the audience and the judges. Even before the couple starts dancing it already makes an impression of a good quality dancing and that can show a lot. A dancer with a perfect look usually feels some power psychologically attracts an attention from the side, that makes a performance much more interesting and bright. The perfect look it’s not only about a costume. It’s also about a hairstyle, the make up, which to my mind have to be very clear. There are lots of dancers that have various hairstyles that help them to stand out. There are some girls that use tails, tresses, some don’t make their hair at all. I think it’s all nice, because we need to be different and it’s great to have an own style, but sometimes it can disturb to have a clear picture on the floor. So I think we should pay a lot of attention on how good our hair is made and how it matches with a dress, of course. Everything has to match. I don’t think that a lovely modest dress would look good with an erocast, etc…
The same thing is about the make up: Like everything it has to have a sense. I personally think that creating the make up our goal is to point on the best things on our face, but it has to be quite natural. I don’t think that an idea of making the face incredibly dark is really successful and looks beautiful on fair-skinned persons. Or for example, too much of lines or a lot of the white color on the girl eyes just to be noticeable, can be harmful.
About dresses, I personally found out that my own dancing changes according to the dress I have. It may be only some inner feeling, but it makes a big difference. So I can say that because of some experience I discovered which kinds of dresses feat me more than the others, make me feel confident and show my character.
Even the color makes a big difference for me. I can say that I feel much better when I have a bright, usually warm color of the dress. So I think it shows how an own style appears. It depends a lot on the figure, height, tastes, character, etc… It’s wonderful to create something new, that you know is your own! When we follow the look of the top couples at the big competitions, usually we have a feeling of the quality of their dancing even before they start to dance, whether we like the style they have or not.
Usually it’s all clear, well matched and special, of course! So why don’t we put more attention on creating our perfect look? To be on the top we are searching for the perfect look. All of us have our dreams, wishes, big and small goals. All of us have a trust in our hearts that all our dreams one day will come true. In this year 2006 I want to wish you to believe! To believe much more in everything you do, you dream and desire! I wish you to come in this New Year with a light in your open hearts, with a trust that the life is a fairy-tail and everything in it is possible! I wish that all the stars in the sky turn around you and bring you a huge happiness! Love, dream, enjoy, believe and be happy! From all the bottom of my heart, Nadine.

The Minnesota Department of Education released a draft of its new social studies curriculum standards, which place a new emphasis on diversity, equity, and gender.
The social studies curriculum is up for state-wide review during the 2020-21 school year as part of Minnesota’s 10-year cyclical curriculum review. The Department of Education’s standards committee has dubbed the new framework a “more inclusive approach to social studies education.”
According to a copy of the standards, the committee wants to begin social studies classes with a land acknowledgment. Land acknowledgments tell students that they are learning on land that was conquered by Americans, though once belonged to Native Americans.
“Minnesota is the contemporary and ancestral home of the Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples, and social studies education on this land will acknowledge and honor their contemporary and historical voices,” the draft reads.
Under the new standards, learning about social justice curriculum begins in the first grade. Six and seven-year-olds may be taught about systemic discrimination and how groups have fought against such discrimination.

The time has come to see these crazy kids get married, and trust me when I say the images by SX Studios will leave you breathless! The amazing Davinci Florist and Décor drape the mandap in wonderful white fabrics along with bouquets of white, red, pink and coral flowers. And here's a fun fact, to add a bit of a personal touch, Maharani Gloria requested a dash of purple orchids be intertwined to each event. A signature flower! What an awesome and thoughtful idea! The end result is wildly romantic, and these lovebirds look beyond content to be man and wife. Check out even more captivating images from this Ritz-Carlton Tyson's Corner Indian wedding in the gallery!
From the bride, on the wedding style:
"I was all over the place. We wanted to have a Hindu / Christian ceremony with one cocktail hour and reception in one day. We hired an Indian wedding planner (Sonal J. Shah) with experience in multicultural weddings and she helped shape and organize the day. She developed a palate of ideas for decor and I used that as a foundation and added my own personal touches. I used a lot of purple orchids to accent each event."
On help from family:
"My mother-in-law helped with certain details of the ceremony and the sangeet the night before."
Awesome images from the Christian ceremony & reception are straight ahead!


Sixth Circuit reverses lower court, dismisses claims against officers who shot 15 year-old in his closet
Dorothy Chappell sued on behalf of the Estate of Brandon McCloud, alleging that the Cleveland Police officers who fatally shot McCloud several times, should be responsible for his death. The City argued that the officers did not act unreasonably, and therefore that they should be immune from damages for killing McCloud. The lower court denied the City's motion for summary disposition, holding that there were questions of fact regarding the reasonableness of the officers' claims. The Sixth Circuit disagreed, however, and dismissed the case, holding that no reasonable person could dispute that the officers acted reasonably, given their testimony that McCloud was wielding a knife when he "lunged" from his bedroom closet.

UNMC launches campus expansion project
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – After years of planning, buying land and moving businesses – demolition has started at the northwest corner of Saddle Creek Road and Farnam Street as the University of Nebraska Medicine begins its multi-year campus expansion project.
“You will also see that we also have land south of there and we are working on the administrative facilities of that lands, as well as a technology transfer facility and an innovation facility,” said Brian Spencer, executive director. campus development and real estate.
The two existing buildings west of Saddle Creek will become what will be called the “innovation center”.
“[It]aims to help people with brilliant ideas from all over our institution and the region to bring those ideas to market and connect with the university and our university research in a truly positive way to generate ideas, generate businesses and ultimately generate economic growth around our region, ”says Spencer.
The redeveloped land will house academic entities such as UNeMed and UNeHealth, where clinical trials are contracted out. It will also be home to UNeTech, which coordinates the startups mentioned by Spencer.
But the district will also offer commercial spaces, a food hall, restaurants, housing and possibly hotels.
“The goal at this stage is to generate a space adjacent to the university but providing an excellent buffer zone to the neighborhoods and part of our mission to make the area of the medical center and downtown of Omaha and the great region of Omaha the best place to live, work and play in the countryside.
In partnership with the city, the roads in the district will be redone and car parks will be built to support the new development of the district.
Plans also include a pedestrian bridge over Saddle Creek Road that connects to the main campus, Spencer says it’s a win-win.
“We’re going to have a much safer passage for all of our staff who can park or live west of Saddle Creek that won’t block these intersections during the morning rush hour for people trying to get downtown.” or downtown west, we will increase security and increase throughput in those streets.
This part of the expansion totals $ 45 million and the first buildings are expected to be completed within the next two to three years.

We’ve been raving about the HTC 10 for a while now. We’ve reviewed it thoroughly, discussed its design, its technical specs, and we even compared it to its predecessor, the HTC One M9, to see if it was really worth the hype. (Spoiler alert: it is.)
With the HTC 10 having a larger screen (5.2 inches, compared to the One M9’s 5-inch display), QHD resolution (with 564 pixels per inch), and overall improved specs – including 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory, a 3000 mAh battery, and a brand new Snapdragon 820 chipset – the brand new handset has helped HTC get back on track. It should now be more than able to compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple.
Like us, you know all about the technical specs by now – but do you really know everything there is to know about the HTC 10? Here are five features that may still surprise you!
Most flagship handsets nowadays come equipped with a fingerprint scanner for identification – and the HTC 10 is no different. You can use the scanner to wake up and unlock the handset quickly (as long as your finger is clean and dry) and add up to 5 fingerprints, so you can use (almost) any finger to unlock your phone.
But what’s really interesting about the HTC 10’s fingerprint reader is its 360⁰ readability, meaning that you can touch a finger at any angle to the scanner and it will still be recognised – so don’t worry about placing your finger ultra-precisely.
HTC claims you’ll be able to get two days of use out of the HTC 10’s battery – with a 3,000 mAh cell, it packs as much battery capacity as the Samsung Galaxy S7! Two days may be pushing it a little – however, most reviews all agree: the handset’s battery can easily go through a whole day of moderate to high use.
The fantastic “freestyle layouts” feature gives you a completely customisable home screen – you can choose a theme and replace app icons with matching stickers. Turn the freestyle mode on by pressing and holding on the home screen, then choosing ‘Freestyle Layout’ and deciding on one of the current eight themes offered.
So far, the HTC 10 is the only flagship handset of 2016 to allow for Android Marshmallow’s adoptive storage feature, where users can format a micro SD card to be used as internal storage. You can then add apps onto the micro SD card instead of keeping them on the phone’s internal storage, which can expand the memory capacity up to 2TB!
The HTC 10 features some of the best phone cameras yet – and that’s true for both the rear and the front camera. The 12-megapixel rear camera performs incredibly well even in low light, with its 26mm focal length creates a wide field of vision.
The front camera – appropriately named ‘UltraSelfie’ has a similar wide angle of view, which is fantastic for group selfies. But the real dealmaker here is the addition of OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) which is perfect for filming, and improve quality of the photos in low light conditions.

KUCHING: Giatmara has set up its pioneer Kelab Teknologi Bumiputera (KTB) in the state to give interested bumiputra school dropouts a second chance at pursuing higher education.
“With the setting up of the Kelab Teknologi Bumiputera, the more academically-challenged and school dropouts among bumiputra students will have a second chance to pursue tertiary education,” said state’s Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) director Sazali Salleh.
He said to ensure every bumiputra student would be able to benefit from the second chance, KTB would also be setting up KTB clubs in all secondary schools throughout the state.
The idea was to give wider coverage in reaching out to bumiputra rural students and school leavers who were academically challenged, he added.
Sazali said the club would help to give awareness and educate the students, especially those with low academic performance, on the type of courses available to them to pursue higher education.
“We want to make sure that no students especially the dropouts are being left out. We want to make sure that everyone of them is given a second chance to succeed in life,” said Sazali at the launch of the club in Kampung Lintang, Petra Jaya here yesterday.
Samariang assemblyman Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali, who was present to witness the ceremony, commended Giatmara for the initiative.
She noted that this was in line with the country’s Technical and Vocational Transformation Programme aim to increase bumiputra participation in skills training and to fill up job vacancies that require skilled labour.
“Efforts by Giatmara would definitely help the country in its efforts to reduce unemployment rates among school leavers and at the same time reduce social ills among youth and dropouts,” she added.
On the set up of KTB clubs at school level, she said it would go a long way in instilling interests among students to enrol in courses offered by Giatmara.


FAIRFIELD — A 70-year-old former death row inmate was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of killing his 89-year-old mother in Vallejo.
Dennis Stanworth called Vallejo police shortly before noon and said he had killed his mother, according to Vallejo police. Officers responded to the 2500 block of Marshfield Road and Stanworth directed them to an area on the property where a woman was found dead, police report.
Police obtained a search warrant for the home and secured crime-scene evidence. Stanworth was interviewed and then arrested on suspicion of murder. He was booked into the Solano County jail.
The victim is believed to be Stanworth’s mother, Nellie Turner Stanworth. Confirmation of the victim’s identity is pending.
According to police, Dennis Stanworth has a long criminal history that includes two murder convictions for which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death in 1966 for kidnapping, sexually assaulting and shooting two teenage girls in Contra Costa County.
The victims were Caree Lee Collison, 14, and Susan Muriel Box, 15. The attack occurred Aug. 1, 1966. Box likely died instantly after being shot in the head, according to court records. Collison was alive when the girls were found two days later, but was comatose and never regained consciousness. She died several days later.
The attack on Box and Collison occurred amid a string of violent sexual assaults committed by Stanworth, according to court records.
Stanworth’s death sentence was reversed and he was sentenced to life in prison. He was later paroled and required to register as a sex offender.
The Vallejo incident remained under investigation Wednesday. Police are scheduled to provide an update at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Vallejo Police Department, 111 Amador St.
