Thessaloniki is Greece’s second largest city, busiest seaport after Piraeus, major cultural center in northern Greece, and capital of Macedonia. Prehistoric remains in the city’s vicinity show the area was settled as far back as 1000 B.C. Thessaloniki is considered more cosmopolitan than Athens. In 1997, the European Community honored the city with title of “Cultural Capital of Europe.” Although many older buildings were destroyed in a 1917 fire and during bombing attacks in World War II, the city still has historical landmarks ranging from the 15th century Venetian Tower to the Arch of Galerius. There are also magnificent churches. The main hub centers around Aristotle Square, a traffic-free area surrounded by arcades with cafes and restaurants. The pedestrian strip along the water’s edge is a popular seafront promenade. Main thoroughfares, Odos Mitropoleos and Odos Tsimski, are lined with luxury shops and boutiques. On Aristotle Street is the picturesque Central Market. Paradise Baths, a Turkish bathhouse dating from 1444, is still in use today.
Visitors come to Kusadasi for beaches and nearby ruins of Ephesus. The major attraction is the archaeological site of ancient Ephesus, considered to be most important in Turkey. The history of this ancient city dates back to 10th century BC; many remarkable structures seen today are result of an excavation and restoration program. Along a white marble road grooved by ancient chariot wheels, the two-story Library of Celsus presents a striking sight. There are temples, houses of noblemen, and community buildings lining ancient streets. Nestled in the mountainside is a 25,000-seat amphitheater, still used for performances during Festival of Culture and Art. Bible buffs may know Ephesus as inspiration for St. Paul’s Epistle to Ephesians and the site of one of the first seven churches of Asia Minor. Treasures are kept in the Seljuk Archaeological Museum. Among the better-known ancient sites near Kusadasi are ancient Miletus and Dydima. Remains include a well-preserved Roman theater at Miletus and Dydima's sacred temple of Apollo.
Mykonos's many captivating attributes make it one of the most celebrated Greek holiday islands. Its main village is a colorful maze of narrow streets lined with white-washed houses, many with bright blue doors and shutters. As an attractive backdrop, famous windmills are lined up like toy soldiers on the hillside, vestiges of a time when wind power was used to grind grain. Mykonos has churches and chapels scattered about the island; quite a number of them are located right in town. Radiant flowers spill over white-washed walls and shady courtyards. In addition to swimming, sunning, water-skiing and surfing, visitors find endless shopping opportunities. Artists have relied on Mykonos' beautiful setting to inspire them. The most photographed site is the Paraportiani, a cluster of white-washed churches resting below windmills. Mykonos's museums include an Archaeological Museum, which houses relics from the Trojan War, a Folk Art Museum and a Maritime Museum. The best beaches are Aghios Stephanos, Psarou, Kalafatis, Onros, Panormos and Elia.
Santorini is everything that has made the Greek islands legendary. The world famous island of Santorini is the southern most island of the Cycladic group in the Aegean Sea, and is located north of Crete. Its population is distributed among thirteen villages and just exceeds nine thousand. The marvelous dry climate and unbroken sunshine create year around conditions which are perfect for observation, photographs and videos under an extraordinary variety of natural lights and colors.
This island is known as the site of the apocalyptic Revelations of St. John the Divine, written here during his exile from the Roman Empire. The cave where he lived is near the site of the Monastery of the Apocalypse. The Monastery of St. John, built on one of the island's highest points, houses priceless icons and manuscripts in its Treasury.
Heraklion, the capital of Crete and its principal commercial port, is just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 by Sir Arthur Evans and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion displays many of the treasures found during the excavations.
Itea is the port for Delphi, one of the ancient wonders of classical Greece. A short drive there reveals the Sacred Way and the famed Shrine of Delphi, where the mythological Oracle was said to foretell the future. An amazing bronze charioteer is among the many treasures in the Delphi Museum.
Kalambaka is a small modern town with near Meteora. The most interesting feature of the town is the dramatic backdrop of the steep Meteora rocks that frame the northern part of the skyline. The town is clean and quiet, with one main street that runs through it like a backbone, and several squares adorned with lavish fountains that become pivot points for families and boisterous children late in the evening. Most restaurants and cafes are located along the main street and in the few side streets in the center of town.
Even though you've probably come here to see the "glory that was Greece," perhaps best symbolized by the Parthenon and the superb statues and vases in the National Archaeological Museum, allow some time to make haste slowly in Athens. Your best moments may come sitting at a small cafe, sipping a tiny cup of the sweet sludge that the Greeks call coffee, or getting hopelessly lost in the Plaka -- only to find yourself in the shady courtyard of an old church, or suddenly face to face with an ancient monument you never knew existed. With only a little advance planning, you can find a good hotel here, eat well in convivial restaurants, enjoy local customs such as the refreshing afternoon siesta and the leisurely evening volta (promenade or stroll) -- and leave Athens planning to return, as the Greeks say, tou chronou (next year).

I am an animal lover. I have had several different types of animals as pets over the years, and a cat was one of them. I love cats, and cats love me - even cats that normally don't warm up to strangers often climb up on my lap within a few minutes of me being in their home. I would have a cat now, except my husband is allergic to them.
This article is about cats...
First up is this adorable wooly grey & red sock kitty made by Puncezilla in Alberta. I think his long whiskers and cute tail would look perfectly at home on my bed :)
Next are these large organic catnip raviolis made by 4paws in Ontario. I know how crazy cats go over catnip, and these are so colourful! This would be a perfect treat for your 4-footed feline friends! And right now they're on sale :)
What about a bigger version of the cat? Minouette in Ontario created this limited edition linocut of the majestic Tiger. Gorgeous work and it would be a fabulous addition to any office or den.
Just click on the pictures to take you directly to each listing. From there you can also see what else these wonderfully creative artists have available!

With growing SMEs success stories, there is a huge drive from governments and business leaders to grow entrepreneurial spirit and skill set to establish successful new businesses which generate growth and creates jobs. However small businesses do not have the budget and resources to implement big systems in place to streamline work flows and improve efficiency.
They use number of standalone solutions for different tasks such as appointment software to manage calendars, keeping records on spreadsheet as a mean of CRM, a software for invoicing, something for marketing and document solutions etc. Some businesses perform some of these functions manually which is time consuming and costly.
Keeping in mind growing number of micro businesses in UK and worldwide, we have developed a cloud software “Grow in Cloud”. The software enables businesses to perform all essential tasks from a single platform. It’s seamless workflow and user-interface makes it much easier to perform tasks and help businesses with reducing no show ups, quicker collection of payments, sending out marketing campaigns, recording expenses, making it easier for staff to manage their calendars and liaise with each other and customers. Some of the features are:
• Client site/ widget to engage with clients
• Lead generations (from website via widget)
• Schedule appointment/ SMS reminders
• 2-way calendar synchronisation
• Online payments/late Invoice reminders
• SMS/Email marketing
• Track email metric – Opened, not opened, bounced back
• Business Reports
• Staff management and tasks delegation
• Inbox – Clients all actions history recorded
• Document Sharing & history with clients and leads
We have also integrated it with following popular software’s and platforms for small businesses:
Wix, Word Press, Google, Yahoo, iCloud and Outlook, Facebook, PayPal and Stripe


8 November 2021
Media: Rotorua Daily Post
*NOTE: This is a follow on from Friday’s enquiry [see HERE].
Reporter asked the following revised questions:
- What are the main things the council is doing in response to the housing crisis, as relates to the use of motels for emergency housing?
- What are the main things the council is doing to increase housing supply generally?
- What results of this work will the community see first, and when?
What does the council see as the future of emergency housing in Rotorua in the short and long term?
Does the council see a move away from the motel model at some stage, and if so when and what will it take?
From District Development DCE Jean-Paul Gaston:
No one wants to see people having to live in motels, but we are facing a housing crisis, and while there is a significant lack of available and affordable homes for people, it is a temporary solution to an alternative that is unacceptable – people and families living in cars and on the streets.
Council has always made it clear that using motels as emergency accommodation is not a long-term solution. The critical need is to enable more houses to be built as soon as possible.
It is not an either/or situation. We have continued to lobby and push for a better approach towards emergency housing provision which resulted in the Rotorua Housing Taskforce, while working in parallel to enable landowners, developers and central Government to respond rapidly to the current and projected number of homes that we need in Rotorua.
Some of the key challenges we are facing are; the availability of land to develop new residential areas, limited infrastructure to cope with current and future demand, and a significant lack of public housing. The community is already seeing Council respond to those challenges through major infrastructure upgrades, increased investment in public housing by Kāinga Ora, District Plan changes and new residential subdivisions coming online.
The thousands of homes that this city needs right now are not going to be built overnight. It’s going to take the culmination of the work that is underway or in progress, along with everyone working together towards the same goal, to achieve the outcome that the city needs - more choice of homes for all members of our community.
More information to answer your question: What results of this work will the community see first, and when?
Please note that this work is either led by Council or part of a collaborative work together with central Government, Te Arawa or other partners. This work is either underway or complete.
- King Street stormwater upgrade
- Te Ngae Road upgrades
- Pukehangi Heights Plan Change (PC2)
- Eastside Community Wellness Plan
- Kāinga Ora development at Ranolf/Malfroy
- Rotorua Housing Taskforce
- Linton Park detention dam upgrade
- Infrastructure Acceleration Fund applications
- Supporting infrastructure for Wharenui Rise development
- Expression of Interest process for inner city living opportunities
- Removal of minimal parking requirements in the CBD
Media: Rotorua Daily Post
Topic: Museum director role
Just seeking some further comment from Council about Lizzie Marvelly stepping down as director.
What will happen to Lizzie's role?
Will council be recruiting or is there someone lined up to take on this job?
From CE Geoff Williams:
We are working through what needs to happen now and will share details once all is finalised.

WhatsApp has recently announced that the messaging app will be seeing a number of new features on the Android, KaiOS, iPhone and web platforms. WhatsApp for iPhone and Android will have an improved video call experience alongside features like animated stickers and QR codes in the weeks to come. Also, we could see WhatsApp for Web finally have a dark mode.
The QR code feature lets users add up new contacts easily. Here, all you need to do is scan the other device’s QR code and then they are added to your contact list automatically. For video calls, users will now be able to enlarge a participant’s video to fill the entire screen during a group video call.
A new video icon will also be made available in groups with up to 8 members. When you click on this icon, you will be able to start a video call directly with all the other participants rather than needing to add them individually. The WhatsApp dark mode which has been available for mobile devices since March is also expected to launch on WhatsApp Web.
These new changes are expected gradually in the coming weeks, as we are not certain what regions will receive these updates first.

Here in New England the fall is upon us, which means for the next couple of months heating bills will be through the roof. It’s also the time of year where I ask myself why I left California in the first place. From every October to March my usual $30.00 monthly gas bill rockets up to $250.00, and I’m lucky enough to have a gas furnace and not oil like many of my friends and neighbors. I have one friend who pays $300.00 a month all year round to heat his house with oil in the winter. That’s $3600.00 a year for heating their house for measly 4 months!
For those in rentals and apartments, the choice of heating system isn’t usually in your hands. You’re stuck with what’s there, and depending when it was installed or the age of the building you live in can effect the cost of heat dramatically. If you live in an place with older/non-maintained windows and doors you can practically see the money floating through those cracks whenever your heat turns on.

For this project we have been asked to create a 30-60 second animation telling a short story or expressing a form of emotion using the story we have originally chosen for our children story book.
this is a two week task and having a short period of time i have aimed to set myself a task to create this animation from scratch. The best way for me to create the animation in my eyes is to illustrate each frame within the story that i am going to portray and create an iMovie animation to produce the final outcome.
The story that i have chosen to portray is the Wizard of Oz, the emotion that i have chosen to convey is fear. I feel that within certain parts of the film there is built up tension and my aim for my animation is to create the same kind of tension using sound and camera panning angles to create the same effect. I have decided to recreate a short story of the wizard of oz to show the original concept within a short space of time. Only including the two characters Dorothy and the witch to show the tension and fear from Dorothy’s point of view.
The small story is going to show Dorothy walking through the woods with her dog, the witch is around and can see them both and decides to try and catch her as she wants her magic shoes. The witch then chases after her and the tension heightens as the witch catches Dorothy. Dorothy then drops the dog and he reminds her about the magic shoes. she then clicks her heels together three times and disappears leaving the witch angry.
I feel that the best way to show this much detail is to create simple illustrations to show the content. The way in which i am going to do this is by illustrating the images by hand and scanning the images in to colour and work with on photoshop. I am then going to use photoshop and the different layers to help me create stills for my moving animation.
I intend on creating a background display separating into two separate piece so i can move characters between layers and create the idea of running through the woods in between the trees.
I am then also going to draw up the characters in the different positions in which they will be presented swapping the feet forward to be able to show the character running, walking and the clicking of the heels together. I feel that this is the best way to show the small details that the character will be doing.

Butterbeer, as Heston Blumenthal points out in his Tudor Feast, is not just Harry Potter’s favourite tipple, it’s also a bona fide Tudor recipe made from ale, sugar, egg yolks, nutmeg and butter. If you’ve always thought that beer is good but could benefit from a few more calories, then this is the drink for you.
I heated some beer in a pan over a medium heat till it bubbled. Then I took it off the heat, added the egg, sugar and nutmeg mixture, put it back on a low heat and stirred for a couple of minutes until it went the colour of strong tea meets cloudy apple juice. By this point the kitchen smelled of mulled wine which was a more pleasant odour than you’d expect from a pot of warm eggy beer. I whisked in a little butter and the brew was complete.
Recipe for Butterbeer:
Yolks from 2 medium eggs, whisked
Dash of nutmeg
15g unsalted butter
Pour the ale into a warm pan on a medium heat. When the beer begins to come to the boil take off the heat and add the whisked egg yolks, sugar and nutmeg.
Return the pot to a low heat (to stop the eggs from scrambling) and stir for 2 minutes. Take off the heat and whisk in the butter. Decant into your finest flagon and chug.

For teachers, parents and other interested adults:
The aim of the Healthy Schools scheme is to encourage, support and reward schools which actively promote and protect the physical, mental, and social well-being of its community through positive action by such means as policy, strategic planning and staff development with regard to its curriculum, ethos, physical environment and community relations.
Neath Port Talbot Healthy Schools Scheme was launched in 2001, and currently has all 83 schools in the borough on the scheme. We have already achieved the Welsh assembly target, by having more than 75% of the schools on board by March 2008 and 100% by 2010.
There are 6 phases to the scheme, which are spread over a minimum of 9 years. By this point, health improvement should be embedded in the curriculum, daily life and ethos of the school.
For children and young people:
The Healthy Schools Scheme helps your school give you opportunities to learn about health and about making healthy choices that will help you grow into healthy adults. Being a healthy school means you get to learn in class about different things that affect your health. It also means you get responsibilities to make your school environment a healthy place and that you get a say in what happens in school and a chance to make some decisions which will help you become healthy, happy young people.
Look at the seven health topics and if you have any ideas on how your school could be a healthier place, speak to your school council or healthy schools committee - after all, they are there to help you!
Let us know the good work you are doing!

Under the slogan “No Limits”, 34th Belgrade Jazz Festival will take place at the Belgrade Youth Centre (Dom Omladine) from October 25-29.
Last year’s edition of the Belgrade Jazz Festival was held under the slogan “Jazz Vision” and it was artistically brightest since its renewal in 2005, with a selection that presented a series of not only the most important but also the most innovative contemporary jazz music. This year, ambition is to go even further, because jazz went further – in the 21st century it no longer recognizes a genre or geography: simply jazz “without borders”!

BINCHOTAN: BAR & GRILL
Gather the ‘ohana (family) around a shared platter of succulent seafood, sweet corn on the cob, grass-fed meats and crisp seasonal vegetables — grilled to perfection, the old way
Originating from Hokkaido, Japan, robatayaki reflects the seafaring lifestyle: seasoned fishers gathered around the crackling campfire, trading tales long into the night and grilling up their fresh catch over the irori, or glowing white charcoals — octopus, sea urchin, lobster, prawns and fish. Binchotan honors that timeless tradition, with a modern twist.
Expect sweet, delicate seafood and seasonal local vegetables fire-roasted to a juicy, tender inside and pleasingly charred outside, served sizzling hot off the grill: tiger prawns and mahi mahi, wagyu beef and smoked pork belly with shishito peppers. The aroma is nothing less than divine. Share robata on the terrace or order handcrafted stand-outs sea urchin eggs, octopus and abalone at the 14-seat sushi bar over artisan cocktails.

The child thief a novel
The Child Thief by BromThe acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thief —a spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. Barrie originally conceived. It would happen again tonight: the really bad thing. The girl had no doubt.

Justin Bieber might fight with other people but one thing's for sure, he doesn't want any drama with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez!
While she's been on late night talk shows making fun of him recently and after she even posted a dance video that we are pretty sure was aimed at him, new reports are saying he's demanding his friends to be nice to her.
A source recently told RadarOnline.com, "[Selena's] been bashing him, but Justin has ordered everyone around him not to fight back...He told his friends and everyone else about Selena, 'she's off limits.' He told everyone to leave her alone."
The source also said, "He doesn't want to fuel the fire and he just doesn't want it to be that way with her. 'I don't want anyone saying anything negative about her,' is what he told his pals."
Aww! How nice of Justin! Too bad Selena doesn't feels that way!
We think Bieber still holds a place for Sel in his heart. How couldn't he? They were together for years! But we're sure he still wanted to be a little mean when she told the whole world she made him cry!
Do you think JB told his friends to play nice because he really cares about Selena or because his record label told him to be nice so he could avoid negative press? After all, he did go on a rant recently about them wanting him to make the press happy!
Really though, props to JB for taking a high road and for once, being more mature than Selena!

Terraced Shops Pack Deal
Terraced shops in “low relief” provide authentic detailing and height against the back wall.
Download Paper Model Buildings Templates of Terraced Shops & Apartments as HO Scale Buildings, N Scale Buildings, or to OO Gauge
Paper model building templates can be downloaded for OO gauge railways, HO scale railroads, or for use on N scale railroad layouts. The paper models get adhered to either card-stock or corflute (for backdrop structures) after printing them out on regular photo copy paper. Ordinary photocopy paper (about 1 cent a sheet) looks better than using more pricey card-stock which often has an unnatural gloss to it. After printing out, the templates of paper models can be stuck onto cereal box card or to corflute.
Lighting Tips Using for Led lights on Downloaded Model Buildings Templates
By Contributor Paul Henry
Firstly; a bit of a disclaimer. Let me make one thing very clear – using electricity needs careful consideration and safety aspects need to be considered when using anything on a model railroad that can emit an electrical current (no matter how small), or anything that emits heat and could cause a fire. Fortunately, LED lights use considerably less electricity and give off less heat than conventional light bulbs, but safety still needs to be considered, especially if positioning LED lights inside or around structures made from plastic or downloaded paper model buildings templates. That said –
Building model railroads can be one of the most enjoyable and engaging hobbies. You can keep at it for hours on end without getting bored for a second.
The great thing about this hobby is that it is an activity that can be fun when you do it on your own, as well as when you have your family and friends involved with operating your model trains. If you don’t want to start the task on your own, or if it becomes too time consuming or too difficult to handle by yourself, you can always make a project out of it. Your kids (if you have any) can help you look for various supplies, painting railroad buildings and even searching for items out in the yard for scenery. You can get your friends/family to suggest ideas or do some research for you, make some prints or even send you some objects from abroad. There are many ways to get your family involved in this thrilling activity.
Constructing your own scenery can be an interesting if not a somewhat strenuous task. It can become hard at times, mixing just the right paints or using the perfect products to come up with scenery that looks completely life-like. But hey, this is where all the fun is right? Downloaded paper model buildings templates can be not only a time and money saver, plans of the paper models are printable and highly detailed ready for assembly. Paints, or airbrushing is not needed, because the paper model building templates are already highly detailed and pre-weathered ready for use.
One thing that most new hobbyists find difficult is lighting up their model railroad buildings. If you too have been having difficulty in doing this, here are some excellent lighting tips for you.
These can work wonderfully for model railroad buildings. You put them inside as well as the outside of the downloaded buildings. Of course you would have to be careful with the wiring or you may cause a fire, or end up getting a complete blackout in your miniature model town!
Tiny LED Lights
LED’s are a true life saver for model railroad lovers. They can be installed anywhere and are available in a variety of colors. Depending on the model scale you use, you can select very small or medium sized LED lights. They are easy to install and there are relatively risk-free when it comes to electrocution. Safety is a serious consideration when putting LED lights inside plastic models or paper model building templates that are glued to card or corflute. That’s not to say the model buildings will burst into flames, but you will need to carefully monitor the heat output on any LED used inside a structure.
If you have a carnival or fun fair in your model railroad layout, you can place many colorful LED lights to display a life-like scenario. Imagine how wonderful they would look on the merry-go-round and the Ferris Wheel.
One other option for LED lighting is using LED strips. These are available in a variety of lengths and you can stick them anywhere inside a building. They last for as long as 50,000 hours, which means around 6 years if you keep them on 24 hours a day!
This is one of the best options for when you want to light up a structure that is so small that small bulbs or LED’s don’t fit. What you have to keep in mind though is that fiber optics doesn’t exactly project light, so they can’t be used to ‘see by’. You can place fiber optics in places like theater marquis, accessory lights like lamps, TV, amusement parks, etc.
Make sure to secure all the wires. Not only does it protect you from an electrical blackout, it would also make your scale model railroad safer for kids. Also, don’t keep the lights turned on all the time. Only switch the lights on when you are displaying your trains or structures made using downloaded paper model building templates.
The printable kits for these model paper building templates don’t require painting or weathering. That is already done to a high quality for you. So you won’t need an airbrush, weathering pastels, india ink or anything like that. The weathered stratches, cracks etc are already on the downloaded template designs. All you need to do is to download and print out templates for the model plans (PDF) and glue them to cardstock or some corflute. Then follow the simple instructions to complete the kit assembly.
You can print out more than one copy of each paper model buildings template using the same printable PDF plan, so it’s not like buying plastic model kits where you would need to buy two plastic kits to make two scale model buildings. As an example; the telegraph office on this web site could be printed out several times using the same plan. You might decide to make a row of little railroad houses from the plan instead of making a stand alone telegraph office. Paper model buildings templates are certainly very versatile, strong, and wonderfully real in appearance.

City Council in recent years asked voters to approve taxes and bonds to pay expenses related to arts education, cannabis regulation, affordable housing, and street repair. Each time the City asked voters to approve more revenue, it promised certain steps would be taken to ensure the funds were spent as intended.
Over the course of four audits of voter-approved spending, we noticed a trend that the City was not meeting its accountability promises, even when the use of the funding generally met expectations. Some examples:
• Clear language: The City committed to use revenue from a cannabis tax to fund drug and alcohol treatment, public safety, and small business support. Nearly 80 percent of the revenue went to public safety, and in one year, drug and alcohol treatment received no funds.
• Oversight committees: The City promised voters that a committee would be convened to monitor gas-tax spending, but did not give the group current, consistent, and accurate information from which to provide meaningful oversight.
• Annual reports: The City promised annual public reports, which implies the release of a report each year. There was no report for cannabis, and those for the housing bond and gas tax were late.
• Annual audits: Despite its promises, the City only delivered a review of the housing bond.
• Administrative caps: After voters approved the arts tax, the City declared the promised cap on administrative expenses was unrealistic, and City Council repealed it.
The latest audit recommends that before measures are referred to the ballot, City Council should ensure that accountability promises are specific, feasible, measurable, and achievable. It should also specify a position or body responsible for making sure they are implemented.

View the four recent audits referred to in the report:
Auditors are known for being bookish, and we love reading and writing reports. But we also love the chance to talk in person to Portlanders about the topics we all care passionately about. We’ve been having a lot of fun getting out into the community to share the results of our most recent police overtime audit. On November 19, 2019, we discussed the audit with the Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing.
We reported that police overtime was high by historical standards: nearly 250,000 extra hours at a cost of $15.7 million. But the costs of overtime were not just financial. Long hours lead to more accidents, more injuries, and burnout. Secondary employment, which is off-duty police work arranged through contracts, also taxed a system that relied on overtime to meet minimum staffing needs. The program had a low profile and inconsistent procedures despite significant risks. We recommended that the Bureau improve overtime data collection and reporting. We also recommended that the Bureau change the contract approval process for off-duty work and report publicly about customers, hours worked, and finances.
In person, we had a chance to answer questions and also to listen to concerns from the committee and other members of the general public. We talked more about the context behind some of our wonky recommendations to improve data collection and reporting. We also heard which findings really resonated with the public and the things they most wanted the Police Bureau to improve. One member commented that it was incredible that sergeants didn’t have access to reports about how much overtime officers were working. Another member noted that one of the committee’s priorities was accountability and that overtime was an area that needed more accountability.

The City Auditor's Office is seeking a quick-thinking, detailed-oriented public servant with good judgment to coordinate investigations of police misconduct allegations and make case-handling decisions in the Independent Police Review division.
Independent Police Review (IPR) is the civilian side of the City's police accountability system. IPR reports to the elected City Auditor, who is independent of the Mayor and City Commissioners. This structure is critical to ensure that police misconduct complaints receive the appropriate investigative resources before the Chief and Police Commissioner make their final decisions about an officer's conduct or cases are closed for insufficient evidence. With 16 staff positions, it is the largest division in the Auditor's Office.
IPR is the central intake location for police misconduct complaints, conducts investigations, and monitors all cases investigated by the Police Bureau's Internal Affairs unit. IPR and Internal Affairs share investigative responsibilities. IPR generally investigates misconduct complaints involving high-ranking officers; vulnerable populations, such as children or people experiencing homelessness; and large events, such as street protests. IPR uses complaint trends as the basis for policy reviews of the Police Bureau and makes recommendations for systemic change.
Responsibilities of the Investigations Coordinator include:
- Supervising a lead investigator and seven staff investigators;
- Ensuring consistency in investigations;
- Participating in investigative planning by ensuring timely progression of cases through the process;
- Reviewing information gathered during the intake phase to make case-handling decisions, such as referrals for further investigation or closure;
- Reviewing investigative files for completeness and findings for accuracy and appropriateness;
- Conferring with the IPR Director and Deputy Director about high-risk or sensitive cases; and
- Monitoring investigations conducted by Internal Affairs, including officer-involved shootings.

Portland City Council did not fulfill some commitments it made when it asked voters to approve a local gas tax to fund the Fixing our Streets Program, according to an audit released May 19, 2019.
Portland voters narrowly approved a temporary gas tax in May 2016 to fund a Bureau of Transportation program dedicated to street repair and traffic safety. Council passed a separate tax on heavy vehicles to help ensure that all vehicle owners funded the program.
Two years into the program, we assessed how the Bureau is delivering on the Fixing our Streets program and accountability commitments. While projects were consistent with those promised to voters, most were behind the schedules that the Bureau set after the tax passed. Tax revenues from heavy vehicle owners were below the amount that experts said was needed to fund their share of the program. Many of the other accountability commitments were not fulfilled.
The audit recommends the Bureau make changes to improve program oversight and meet public expectations. Responses from Commissioner Eudaly and the Bureau of Transportation are included in the report.

The kidneys are a crucial part of our body, responsible for filtering waste products from blood, regulating blood pressure, and balancing electrolytes in the body. A functional unit is the basic structural and functional component of a kidney.
What is the functional unit of the kidneys?
The functional unit of the kidneys is the nephron. These are the microscopic structures present in the kidneys that perform the essential function of filtration and reabsorption. It is the nephron that filters the blood that eventually produces urine. Therefore, it is vital to understand how this functional unit works in detail. Let’s dive deeper into the concept of nephrons.
The Anatomy of Nephrons
The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule (DCT), and collecting ducts.
The renal corpuscle is the beginning of the nephron, which includes the glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries where the blood filtration takes place, and the Bowman’s capsule is a cup-shaped structure that surrounds the glomerulus.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
After blood filtration occurs at the renal corpuscle, the filtered blood enters the PCT. Here, most of the valuable substances (such as glucose, amino acids, and vitamins) are reabsorbed back into the blood.
Loop of Henle
The Loop of Henle, also known as the nephron loop, is a U-shaped section of the nephron that descends towards the medulla before turning and ascending back towards the cortex. This loop is crucial for the regulation of water balance and ion balance in the body. The descending limb of the loop is permeable to water, while the ascending limb is impermeable to water but permeable to ions such as sodium, potassium, and chloride.
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
The DCT is the final segment of the nephron, which is responsible for the selective reabsorption of water and ions based on the body’s needs. It works by regulating pH and salt balance in the blood.
After the DCT, the filtrate enters the collecting duct, which absorbs water and concentrates urine. This duct carries the urine from the nephron and sends it to the renal pelvis, which drains the urine into the ureters and eventually out of the body.
How Nephrons Work?
The nephrons in the kidneys work in a complex and delicate balance to maintain the proper balance of fluid, electrolytes, and waste products in the body. Here is a brief overview of how it works:
- Step 1: Filtration – Blood enters the renal corpuscle and filtered in the glomerulus. The filtrate enters the PCT.
- Step 2: Reabsorption – The PCT reabsorbs the valuable substances such as glucose, amino acids, and vitamins back into the blood. The descending limb of the Loop of Henle allows the reabsorption of water, and the ascending limb reabsorbs ions such as sodium, potassium, and chloride. The DCT selectively reabsorbs ions and water based on the body’s needs by regulating pH and salt balance in the blood.
- Step 3: Secretion – This is the process by which certain substances such as drugs, excessive ions, and waste products are removed from the blood and added to the filtrate to be eliminated in the urine.
- Step 4: Excretion – The collecting ducts absorb water and concentrate the urine. Eventually, the urine is drained from the renal pelvis to ureters and out of the body.
What are the Functions of Nephrons?
The nephrons are responsible for several essential functions in the body, including:
- Regulating the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body
- Maintaining proper pH balance
- Removing waste products such as urea and creatinine from the blood
- Synthesizing and releasing hormones such as erythropoietin that stimulate the production of red blood cells
- Regulating blood pressure
Factors Affecting Nephron Functioning
Several factors can affect the functioning of nephrons. These include:
- Dehydration or overhydration
- Blood pressure changes
- Diabetes or other metabolic disorders
- Urinary tract infections
- Kidney stones
What are the Common Kidney Diseases?
Kidney diseases can emerge due to several reasons, such as infections, accidents, or lifestyle conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or obesity. Some common kidney diseases include:
- Acute kidney injury
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Kidney stones
- Interstitial Nephritis
- Chronic Kidney Disease
How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy?
Preventive measures should be taken to keep kidneys functioning correctly. Here are a few tips:
- Drink adequate water
- Follow a healthy lifestyle
- Avoid alcohol and smoking
- Stay away from processed foods
- Control blood sugar levels and blood pressure
- Take medications only as directed by the physician
The kidney’s functional unit, the nephron, is a complex and delicate structure that plays a critical role in maintaining the normal functioning of our body. Each component of the nephron works together synergistically to filter waste products from our bloodstream and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Keeping a healthy lifestyle, following preventive measures, and consulting a doctor timely can help prevent kidney diseases or deterioration of kidney functions, ensuring kidney health.

Chen Zuwei, Liang Wentao (ed.), Zhengzhi lilun zai Zhongguo (Political Theory in China)
1The objective of political theory is to reflect political values, and it must be contextualised in the particular society to which theorists belong. The 15 articles in this anthology reflect the spectrum of the concerns of the younger generation of political theorists from three Chinese societies: China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Most authors have academic training in Western countries. The quality of these works, though still variable for each individual article, deserves praise. No reader interested in the normative issues in Chinese societies would be disappointed after perusing this book.
2The essays are grouped according to thematic orientations: the contemporary relevance of Confucianism; liberalism, Marxism and socialism; and civil society. After two introductory essays, four articles elaborate Confucian values for contemporary society. As none of the authors belong to the neo-Confucian school, it makes their analyses interesting and communicable with other disciplines. Two essays adopt the methodology meta-ethics of analytical philosophy to explore the possibility of integrating Western ideas of moral autonomy with Confucianism and of establishing a Confucian discourse of human rights. Although two authors arrive at conflicting conclusions (pp. 90-93, pp. 111-112), their analyses are novel and cogent. The other two essays deploy the Weberian concept of legitimacy and German Begriffsgeschichte to analyse the Confucian political values. Interestingly, three out of four authors of this group are from Hong Kong, one from Taiwan. No mainland Chinese scholars participate in this lively debate, such that readers may well wonder how the Chinese mindset would articulate the issue.
3The next four articles discuss the prospects of liberal traditions in different societies. Two authors from China, two from Taiwan, address the issue to reveal a clear contrast. In Taiwan, liberalism has undergone a dramatic change: from the most cherished political values under the authoritarian regime, to nationalistic and postmodernist values following democratisation. How to revive liberal values in a democratised society is the core concern for Taiwan’s liberals. China, on the contrary, has become neither fully liberalised nor democratised. One can sense a very subtle discursive strategy on the part of Chinese liberals. Emphasis is on the belief that liberalism would sit well in a strong yet neutral state for effective governance. John Rawls is characterised as the representative of this “left liberalism”. Indeed, both authors argue that well-delineated functions of state power constitute the prerequisite for effective governance for the Chinese government in transition. Thus, the separation of powers and the separation between civil society and state, two core liberal values, are presented in a way that can be accommodated in the current situation of Chinese governance and public discourse. The differences between Chinese and Taiwanese liberals illuminate subtle strategies with regard to the political development of their societies.
4Three articles on the Chinese reform agenda are not by Chinese scholars but by Hong Kong scholars. All three articles emphasise the limit of socialist reform without corresponding theoretical or ideological innovation. The literature of market socialism, especially the works of David Miller and Michael Walzer may pave a new ground for normative reconstruction of socialist ideology.
5The last three articles constitute the most balanced and coherent group in this anthology. Each traces the development of civil society in three localities. These are governance (China), social movements (Taiwan), and societal organizations (Hong Kong) respectively. Historical overview paired with theoretical reflections makes it possible for readers to understand the different characteristics of emerging civil societies.
6Despite a well-designed framework and overall the fine scholarly quality of most of the articles, there is one obvious thematic lacuna: the issue of nationalism. Neither the rise of “new nationalism” in China during the last decade nor the thorny issue of “national identity” in Taiwan garnered discussion. Thorough preparation and coordination are needed to truly realise the potential for such a conference in the future. Hopefully, political theorists can freely discuss the socialist transition in China, democratisation and national identity in Taiwan, and the prospects for “one country, two systems” in Hong Kong. Not until then will there be Chinese political theories in a genuine sense.

I am assisting a couple find accommodation who are attending a conference later in the year (in September) in Barcelona. I've never been to Barcelona so am not familiar with the areas, but the conference is at the below location. Of interest is an area that is safe and well lit, within approximately 15 minutes bus (or any other easy means of transport) to the convention centre.
Can anyone recommend any good areas that meet these requirements (safe, well lit, easy to get to)? Happy to thereafter research good hotels in said areas.
