There had already been calls for the United States to stage a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming winter Olympics over China’s record on human rights, including its crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong and on its Uyghur Muslim minority. But the pressure intensified last month after the tennis star Peng Shuai accused a top Chinese official of sexual assault and promptly disappeared from the public eye, triggering international outcry and concern for the Olympian and Wimbledon champion’s safety. “It’s something we are considering,” Joe Biden told reporters in November.
Now, he’s following through on the warning. The Biden administration this week is expected to announce that no U.S. officials will be sent to the Beijing games in February, in protest of China’s conduct. American athletes are still expected to compete. But no government officials will attend, angering Beijing, which promised “resolute countermeasures” to the snub. “The U.S. should stop politicizing sports and hyping up the so-called ‘diplomatic boycott’ so as not to affect China-U.S. dialogue and cooperation in important areas,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Monday, per CNN.
Biden met virtually with Xi Jinping last month to discuss relations between the two largest economies in the world, during which he “raised concerns” about China’s “practices in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong, as well as human rights more broadly.” It was described by a senior administration official as a “healthy debate,” but it didn’t appear to move the needle much in terms of China’s position or the state of play between Beijing and Washington. Now, with the diplomatic boycott expected to be implemented, China is suggesting that those talks could be upended entirely. A boycott would constitute a “naked political provocation,” Zhao said, per NBC News, “and a serious offense to the 1.4 billion Chinese people.”
The dustup over the Olympics comes amid simmering tensions between the U.S. and China. Xi, who is tightening his grip on power as he prepares for a third term, appears to be facing added scrutiny—not just from outside his country, but within it—over Peng’s assault allegations against former vice premier Zhang Gaoli and his party’s efforts to suppress the scandal. Political and industry leaders in the U.S., meanwhile, have attempted—and often struggled—to balance economic and strategic interests in China with due concern for human rights. Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio recently apologized for comparing China’s approach to human rights to that of a “strict parent,” a comment that was reportedly criticized by the company’s own CEO in a call to employees. Dalio wrote on LinkedIn that “I didn’t mean to convey that human rights aren’t important. I was attempting to explain what a Chinese leader told me about how they think about governing.”
The fact is that Dalio, and other U.S. billionaires with global interests, stand to lose plenty if U.S.-China relations continue to sour. According to Axios, U.S. markets could fall by as much as $2 trillion if top Chinese companies delist from the U.S. stock market, as ride-sharing app Didi, under pressure from the Chinese government, announced it would do earlier this month. And things don’t seem likelier to get rosier any time soon. Biden—who, amid backsliding here in the U.S., has made defending democracy a key tenet of his presidency—is holding a “Summit for Democracy” this week. China, an autocratic state, isn’t invited, and has been angered by the two-day meeting, particularly over the participation of Taiwan, which Beijing has vowed to bring under its control—perhaps by force).
China’s governing party has bashed Biden and the U.S. in the lead-up to the summit, with officials calling American democracy a “disaster” that is “doomed to fail.” The summit “is set to become a joke,” Tian Peiyan, deputy director of the Policy Research Office of the Communist Party’s central committee, said in Beijing on Saturday, “and will not be popular. The convening nations will “discuss how we can work together to protect democracy around the world, to stand up for democracy around the world,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week in a news conference, responding to criticism of the conference by China and Russia. “That’s nothing we’re going to apologize for.”

Animec 0.8mg/Ml Oral Solution For Sheep
Revised: October 2014
1. NAME OF THE VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCT
ANIMEC 0.8mg/ml Oral Solution for Sheep (IE, UK, EL, PL, ES)
2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each ml contains:
Benzyl Alcohol (E1519) 28.6mg
Butylhydroxyanisole (E320) 0.10 mg
Propyl Gallate (E310) 0.10 mg
For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
A transparent, yellow coloured solution.
4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Target species
4.2 Indications for use, specifying the target species
For the treatment of infections with the following parasites:
Gastrointestinal roundworms (adult and fourth larval stage)
Including N. battus
Lungworms(adult and fourth larval stage)
Nasal bot (all larval stages)
Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any of the excipients.
4.4 Special warnings for each target species
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy:
• Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time.
• Underdosing, which may be due to underestimation of body weight or misadministration of the product.
Resistance to ivermectin (an avermectin) has been reported in Teladorsagia in sheep and goats within the EU and it is common in Haemonchus in sheep outside the EU. Therefore the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematode and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used.
There is cross-resistance with other avermectins and with milbemycins.
4.5 Special precautions for use
i. Special precautions for use in animals
The timing of treatment should be based on epidemiological factors and should be customised for each individual farm. A dosing programme should be established by the veterinary surgeon.
Veterinary advice should be sought on appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control, and to reduce the likelihood of anthelmintic resistance developing. Veterinary advice should also be sought if the product does not achieve the desired clinical effect, as other diseases, nutritional disturbances or anthelmintic resistance might be involved.
Avermectins may not be well tolerated in non-target species. Cases of intolerance resulting in fatalities have been reported in dogs, especially Collies, Old English Sheep Dogs and related breeds or crosses, and also in turtles/tortoises.
ii. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
Wash hands after use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product.
Wear impervious gloves when handling or administering the product.
As absorption through skin can occur, in the event of accidental skin contact, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.
If accidental eye exposure occurs, flush the eyes immediately with water.
iii. Other precautions
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Some sheep may cough immediately after treatment. This passing response is of no consequence.
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
The veterinary medicinal product can be administered to ewes at any stage of pregnancy or lactation.
See Section 4.11
4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
For oral administration only.
The recommended dose rate is 0.2 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight (corresponding to 2.5 ml per 10 kg bodyweight)
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible. Accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually they should be grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or over- dosing.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
At doses up to 4 mg ivermectin per kg administered by stomach tube (20x the recommended dose level) undesirable toxic reactions occurred. Acute symptoms (ataxia, staggering gait, incoordination, depression) were observed at the dose rate of 8 mg/kg (40x the recommended dose level) during a study carried out on 4 animals. Twenty-four hours later, the animals showed only mild incoordination and depression.
Three days post dose all the animals were nearly normal. It is possible that the signs of toxaemia were due to the propylene glycol.
No antidote has been identified. Symptomatic treatment may be beneficial.
4.11 Withdrawal periods
Meat and offal: 10 days.
Milk: Do not use in lactating sheep producing milk for human consumption.
Sheep must not be treated within 60 days prior to the commencement of lactation, if milk is to be used for human consumption.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group:Endectocides, avermectins,
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Ivermectin belongs to the avermectin family, which are a macrocyclic lactone group of endectocides. Compounds of the class bind selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Compounds of this class may also interact with other ligand-gated chloride channels, such as those grated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to the fact that mammals do not have glutamate-gated chloride channels, the macrocyclic lactones have a low affinity for other mammalian ligand-gated chloride channels and they do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic particulars
The maximum plasma concentration is reached in 12 hours after oral administration and ranges from 6.3 to 17.9 ng/ml at the dose rate of 0.2 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight. This concentration gradually decreases to range from 1.31 to 10.55 ng/ml 2 days post dose with a terminal half-life of 42.4 hours.
Ivermectin binds extensively to plasma proteins. Due to its high lipophilic nature, Ivermectin is extensively distributed. It tends to accumulate in fat tissue, which acts as a drug reservoir and the highest levels of Ivermectin are found in liver and fat. Ivermectin is only partially metabolized. Ivermectin is mainly eliminated in the faeces as unaltered drug and faecal excretion accounts for 90% of the dose administered with <2% of the dose excreted in urine. Ivermectin is also excreted by the mammary gland.
6. PHARMACEUTICAL PARTICULARS
6.1 List of excipients
Propyl Gallate (E310)
Benzyl Alcohol (E1519)
Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate
Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate Monohydrate
6.3 Shelf life of the veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale.
Shelf life of the veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale: 3 years.
Shelf life after first opening the container: 18 months.
6.4. Special precautions for storage
Do not store above 30ºC.
6.5 Nature and composition of immediate packaging
White flat-bottomed flexi packs (1L, 2.5L, 5L and 6L (5L + 1L)) composed of high density polyethylene container, with a 38 mm tamper evident polypropylene cap.
Standard containers (jerri-cans) (1L, 2.5L, 5 L and 10L ) composed of high density polyethylene container, with tamper evident polyethylene cap.

LANDOVER, Md. — What a difference a week makes. Last week the Redskins could do nothing right. This week, they did everything right in the first half and beat the Packers 31-17 at FedEx Field.
The Redskins talked all week about needing a better start to the game than they had last week against the Colts.
They got it.
It took Alex Smith four plays to get his wide receivers involved. Smith hooked up with Paul Richardson on the fourth play of the game for a 46-yard touchdown. Smith was targeting his receivers a good amount in the first half.
A week after receiver Jamison Crowder led the team in rushing, the Redskins saw Adrian Peterson regain his MVP form, rushing for 120 yards on 19 carries. It’s the 52nd time he’s surpassed the 100-yard mark in a game and the ninth time against Green Bay.
As far as the performance from his team, “You could see it coming during the week, the focus and determination,” he said. “Last week was an embarrassment.”
Jordan Reed continued to show that when he’s healthy, he’s one of the best players on the field, catching four passes for 65 yards which included a 34-yard gain on a third down.
Tale of two halves
The Packers gave up 28 points in the first half, but you knew they weren’t out of the game.
Aaron Rodgers took the opening drive of the second half and went 78 yards in 15 plays, which took just over seven minutes and scored a touchdown.
The Redskins then proceeded to go three-and-out three times in the second half and were unable to get anything going.
The Packers and the Redskins defense bailed them out. There were a number of dropped passes by Green Bay in the second half coupled with the Redskins defense coming up big in moments.
- Jonathan Allen had two sacks.
- Daron Payne notched his first sack of his career.
- Fabian Moreau stripped Randall Cobb with 5:25 remaining and Josh Norman recovered to secure the win.
Fullback or linebacker?
Linebacker Ryan Anderson has lined up at fullback three times this year; all three plays have resulted in touchdowns. He was also lined up twice as a fullback last year with both plays ending as touchdowns.
Right tackle Morgan Moses left the game after being evaluated for a concussion. He was unavailable to speak in the locker room after the game, so we’ll find out more at a later time.
The Redskins hit the bye week at 2-1 and now have a chance to heal up and head to New Orleans for a Monday night match up with the Saints in a couple weeks.
The team needed a bounce back performance like they got on Sunday, now it’s up to them to make sure that this is the product they put on the field every week. If that’s the case, then who knows how much damage they could do.

Get Ahead of Vegetable Diseases
Tomatoes can be a challenge to grow with several fungi, bacteria and viruses that can reduce the quality and yields of the crop. (Photo by Alan Henn)
Bone-chilling temps have you stuck inside dreaming of that first home-grown tomato sandwich? Well, this is a great time to prepare for a healthy crop.
Tomatoes are popular but can be particularly tricky to grow. They are susceptible to a number of fungi, bacteria, and viruses that can reduce crop quality and yields. But, fear not.
We have a new publication specifically for tomato producers to help with identifying some of the most common tomato diseases. This publication is aimed at commercial and backyard crops produced in the field.
Greenhouse producers: We have a publication just for you. It focuses on diseases most commonly found in the greenhouse environment.
You can find the link to it here, along with other disease-management resources for various types of commercial and home vegetable crops.
Also, check out the new vegetable disease calendar page for some upcoming events that will include discussions about vegetable disease management. Note: This is not an exclusive list.
If you’d like to share feedback or offer suggestions to our specialists and agents for research and education in your region, make plans to attend the Producer Advisory Council meeting in your area:
- Northeast District: Feb. 15 at 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Verona at the Lee County Agri-Center, next door to the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center
- Central District: Feb. 20 at 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Raymond at McKenzie Arena, behind the Central Mississippi Research and Extension Center
- Coastal District: Feb. 27 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Howard Technology Park in Ellisville

The focus these days is on the COVID virus and a vaccine, an antidote or cure. It is probable that one of those long and careful COVID days an antidote or cure for all strains of this pandemic will be found in a lab somewhere on the planet.
Mental health issues aren’t contagious. However, they have and do take lives. A lot of lives. You don’t catch it; unfortunately, it is sometimes passed on genetically. There is no cure, no mask or serum, antidote, vaccine. Mental health issues have been a 60-year reality for me. I’ve inherited depression and loneliness which have been passed on through my parents’ genes. Neither they, nor my brother and sister, could weather the storm. Mental health issues have taken them all away early. They all passed away because of it.
Maybe one day a vaccine will be found to be cure mental health and depression issues altogether. That would save a lot of decent people’s meaningful lives.

The Jet Set
CEOs and Entrepreneurs Queue Up To Buy the Ultimate in Private UltraLong- Distance Jet Travel
From the Print Edition:
Ernest Hemingway, Jul/Aug 99
(continued from page 1)
"Quite often there are only a couple of people flying in these [aircraft]," says Boeskov. "A couple of people stepping off an airliner can cause a perception problem."
Instead of the corporations, the most active group of buyers for these transports has been high-net-worth individuals, such as entrepreneurs. Boeskov expected that market to account for about 30 percent of sales, but it's been closer to half.
The third segment for these aircraft are heads of state, VIPs and military customers. The Boeing and Airbus models are proving to be popular with governments from small countries that don't want their presidents flying around in $125 million Air Force One-type 747 aircraft, but are comfortable shuttling them about in the smaller airliners. In the Middle East, Kuwait Airways purchased three Gulfstream Vs last year for transportation of senior Kuwaiti government officials. The aircraft will be used for executive transport and emergency, long-range medical evacuation. In all, 24 countries operate Gulfstreams in government service, including the United States, which has flown the jets since 1967 and presently has 41 in service.
The superlong-range capabilities of the new aircraft are also particularly attractive to the military. In late 1998, the U.S. Air Force 89th Airlift Wing, the special missions unit that chauffeurs White House executives and members of Congress, took delivery of a VC-37A--the military designation for the Gulfstream V.
At $35 million a copy for these new superlong-range aircraft, an observer might think the selection of aircraft was limited. On the contrary, prospective buyers have never had so many choices. The fight for the world's most exclusive travelers is a battle among the golden names of aviation.
Gulfstream and Bombardier have gone head-to-head for years. What makes this competition different are the new combatants: Boeing and Airbus. Neither had produced a business jet before, but both saw the lucrative market as too rich to pass up. Gulfstream estimates total potential sales for the new class of business jets at 400 to 500 aircraft, making the market worth as much as $17.5 billion.
The first superlong-range aircraft to be announced was the Gulfstream V, followed by Bombardier's Global Express, then the Boeing Business Jet and the Airbus A319CJ (Corporate Jetliner).
Gulfstream's heritage dates back to 1958 with the twin-engine, prop-jet-powered Gulfstream I introduced by Grumman, which owned Gulfstream until 1978. The company followed the GI with the Gulfstream II in 1966, which became popular with corporations and government agencies because of its large cabin. The Gulfstream III was introduced in 1978, and by 1987 Gulfstream was producing one of the industry's most popular long-range business jets--the Gulfstream IV-SP.
Owning a Gulfstream became the epitome of success, from the hills of Hollywood to the boardrooms of Wall Street, and many of the people today who are trading up to one of the superlong-range business jets are trading in a GIV-SP.
After 1978, the company changed hands several times--from Grumman to Allen Paulson, the former owner of famed racehorse Cigar, to Chrysler and eventually to Forstmann Little, a private investment firm, which purchased it in 1990 for $850 million. In May, the Savannah-based company changed hands again as it was bought by defense contractor General Dynamics for approximately $5 billion.

text: The Jet Boat series from WOW is a serious upgrade on an old design. The torpedo or hot dog in-line towable has been around for years but the problem with these items has always been that they couldn’t get outside the wake very easy and on the turns, they would tip over because of their high center of gravity. WOW has fixed these problems with its new patent-pending Flex-Form seating system. Flex-Form seating allows the riders to sit down inside of the tube instead of on top. This lowers the center of gravity of the item and keeps it fast and upright on the whips and turns. This added stability is great for those that want to go fast but also for those that want a safer, less eventful ride. The Flex-Form seating is constructed of a nylon harness to keep the rider’s bottoms from hitting the water as well as a layer of 4-way stretch, UV resistant material for added comfort.

text: The objective of this work was to analyze the proximate and fatty acid composition of the dorsal and ventral muscles of wild pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) captured from a Brazilian Amazonian lake. Dorsal and ventral muscles were dissected out, freeze-dried, vacuum-packed, and had the proximate and fatty acid composition analyzed. Ash, total proteins, and lipids were inversely proportional to moisture and had higher levels in the ventral muscles. Twenty-seven fatty acids were quantified in both muscles without significant differences between them, except for the heneicosylic, palmitoleic, γ-linolenic, and dihomo-γ-linolenic acids. Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were predominant in both muscles. The eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids were quantitatively similar: 9.25 (dorsal) to 10.14 (ventral) and 8.50 (dorsal) to 10.63 (ventral) mg g-1 of total lipids, respectively. The EPA+DHA content of the dorsal and ventral muscles were 113.25 and 165.78 mg 100 g-1, respectively. The ratios of polyunsaturated/saturated (0.54 and 0.59 for the dorsal and ventral muscles, respectively), n-3/n-6 (0.20 and 0.21), and hypocholesterolemic/ hypercholesterolemic fatty acids (1.41 and 1.45) ratios, as well as the atherogenicity (0.59 and 0.53) and thrombogenicity (1.02 and 0.94) indices, indicate that pirarucu muscle is a good dietary source of EPA+DHA, and its nutritional lipid quality can be beneficial for human health.

City Council approved a handful of contracts and special use permits in an uneventful regular meeting March 5.
The only bumps in the brisk schedule were three citizens who spoke during the citizen’s forum period. One was UPS store owner Jeff Pohlman, who was there to fight a citation he’d received for an outdoor storage violation. Pohlman said the city’s definition of outside storage is too severe, and will drive him and other distribution companies out of business unless it is changed.
“I find it very punishing for you to tell me to go out of business,” he said.
Two more speakers from the Huffines Middle School PTA requested push-button crosswalks on Old Orchard Lane between Valley Ridge Boulevard and Valley Parkway. Two students at the school were struck on Valley Parkway earlier this year. The parents described crossing the streets as “like playing a game of Frogger.”
Before the meeting, the council heard its comprehensive annual financial report from 2017. The audit, delivered by John DeBurro with Weaver, found no material weaknesses and all funds accounted for. The city had a $131.5 million fund balance at the end of September 2017, with $40.2 million of that in the general fund.
During the meeting, the city granted special use permits for a communication tower on 1826 Lakeway Drive and the redesign of a car dealership on 1515 South Stemmons Freeway. The Mitsubishi dealership was already planned, but the company was bought by Nissan in May 2016 and the forthcoming dealership needs to change some of its exterior elevations for rebranding.
On the consent agenda, the council approved economic development agreements with The Hillman Group and RO Properties. The Hillman Group is a Cincinnati-based provider of fasteners to hardware stores that is looking to rent the property on 514 Bennett Lane. The Hillman Group is promising to maintain a minimum of $5.5 million worth of taxable inventory, $1.9 million worth of property improvements and $10,000 annually toward a city event. In exchange, the city will pay them back half of their business taxes.
RO Properties, run by Lewisville natives Randy and Ronda Owens, are projected to invest $600,000 into renovating their properties on 109 and 111 Main St. The city approved an agreement to reimburse up to $80,000 of that.
The city awarded a $428,467.90 annual contract to Andrews Building Service, Inc for custodial duties on city-owned buildings for the next year. The contract may be extended for another year twice.
The city approved a supplemental appropriation of $49,700 from the governor’s office to buy plated, rifle-resistant body armor for its police force.
Finally, the city approved to file a $55,960 project application with the North Central Texas Council of Governments for a project to improve how the city handles hazardous waste, including buying a paint can crusher.
City Council meetings are every first and third Monday of the month at 7 p.m. in Lewisville City Hall, 151 W. Church St. in Lewisville. They frequently have a workshop session beforehand at 6 p.m.

IDP Open House
Intermunicipal Development Plans Project
Have your say! The partnering municipalities and ISL Engineering and Land Services are hosting public open houses for plan area landowners, residents and stakeholders in June. Your participation and feedback is important to help inform and shape the creation of the visions, land use policies and land use concepts for the IDPs.


First it was the airplane, which made Arizona as accessible to northerners as Florida. Then it was air conditioning, which saved people from sprinkling sheets on baking August nights. Cheap land attracted developers, the automobile defined the city's sprawl.
It happened almost overnight: in the middle of a desert, a 20th-century city.
But even with a 30 percent growth rate, booming Phoenix is not bustling.
"We were accused by an eastern writer of being the biggest small town in America," says Mayor Margaret Hance. "To me that's an accolade. It means the openness and friendliness has not disappeared."
Unlike other big cities, Phoenix has the feel and flavor of a small town. Its downtown is quiet by day, desolate by night. Its pace is noticeably slower than in many other large cities. Even its country music stations seem weeks behind those elsewhere.
Phoenix is built not around commerce but recreation, with acres and acres of parks and an outdoor life-style that is the principal attraction even for its best and brightest. But the focus of local political power is different.
For an increasing number of people here the small-town facade is giving way to the reality of urban life. They feel powerless and alienated from the city's decision-making. They especially object to the business establishment's degree of control and are fighting to create a new political balance here.
So far they have not been successful, but it appears their time is coming. City elections Nov. 3 could give a clue to how soon.
Most people say Phoenix, three times an All-American city, is attractive, enjoyable and efficiently run by the mayor, a six-member city council, and a strong city manager.
But as with many small towns, real power is exercised by the business and professional establishment, and Phoenix has raised this practice to a high--and increasingly controversial--art.
A few decades ago, this establishment was small. It included Eugene Pulliam, who published the extremely conservative local papers, and a handful of bankers and lawyers. In the late 1940s, they created an organization called Charter Government to help clean up the gambling and prostitution that then existed, and for almost 30 years, Charter Government hand-picked the mayor and the city council. To prevent the city government from having too much power, candidates generally served just two two-years terms.
In the middle 1970s, this informal power elite decided to annoint a new establishment. "Several of us got together and said, 'Why don't we form an organization of younger men with clout?' " says Frank Snell, 81, who came to Phoenix in 1927 and became one of its most powerful citizens.
The group is Phoenix 40, a Who's Who of the business establishment. Out of the Phoenix 40 has come a young leadership group, which each year picks about 45 men and women between the ages of 25 and 45, offers them training in leadership skills and grooms them for power. Phoenix 40 and its subsidiaries have contributed much to the city, but there is growing dissatisfaction with their ideas and their exclusionary approach to city government.
"They are the self-proclaimed group of city leaders," says Terry Goddard, a young lawyer who helped found Urban Focus, which is often at odds with Phoenix 40 over issues. "They have economic muscle and political muscle, and they keep the lid on."
The rapid increase in population is creating pressure for a new governing structure, possibly to expand the council and elect half of its members from districts. A petition drive is under way to put the question before the voters next spring, but the organizer is not confident of victory. "There's an irrational fear of Chicago-style ward politics taking over our clean city," says David C. Tierney.
But there are signs that the city establishment is less opposed to the idea than it has been in the past, and Mayor Hance believes it is inevitable. Changes in the council structure would likely guarantee representation for Hispanics, almost 20 percent of the population with no members on the council.
The nonpartisan city elections in November are also seen as a test. Mayor Hance is running without serious opposition for her fourth two-year term, but an interesting council race is under way. Charter Government has endorsed four of the six incumbents, but not the one black member and the one female, although its slate includes a woman and a wealthy Hispanic businessman.
One outsider trying to get in is Rick DeGraw, a professor at Arizona State University.
"The biggest issue here is that folks don't feel the city council represents them," DeGraw says. "There is an incredible vitality in this city, but it's slowly being eroded because people don't feel secure in their neighborhoods and the city has not done anything to make them feel secure."
But by the standards of older, industrialized cities, local politics here are bland and quiet. "You can argue apathy versus contentment from here to kingdom come," Hance says, admitting the lack of serious opposition concerns her. "Apparently our citizens are content with how things are going."
And how things are going.
Thirty years ago, there wasn't a square foot of shopping center space in the area. Today there are almost 9 million. Phoenix has gone from small town to the top 10 in America in little more than a generation.
It grew from 17 square miles and 107,000 people in 1950 to 329 square miles and 790,000 people in 1980. Its metropolitan area today is home to 1.5 million people. In the last decade alone, the city grew by 30 percent and the metropolitan area by more than 50 percent.
Yet, for a city of 800,000, Phoenix appears remarkably tension-free. Its economy is booming, fueled by the high-technology electronics industry; unemployment in August was 5.3 percent.
Housing is relatively inexpensive and plentiful, with open space for both leisure and future growth. Phoenix is one of the lowest-density big cities in the world, and 35 to 40 percent of its area is undeveloped.
"There aren't any flash points here," said George Britton, an aide to Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt and former city official in one of the Phoenix suburbs.
Phoenix is not without its share of big-city problems. Crime is on the minds of many people here, although Mayor Hance says crime decreased 11 percent in the first eight months of 1981.
Traffic is a growing irritant, because Phoenix is one of the few big cities in America without a freeway system. It hopes to have one someday, but without the help of the federal government, the cost may be prohibitive, despite recent approval of a sharp increase in the state gasoline tax.
Water was once thought to be the most serious threat to the city's future, but no longer, thanks to the Central Arizona Project, which will divert water from the Colorado River here beginning in 1985, and to a tough state groundwater policy that will reduce usage in the Phoenix area from about 220 gallons a day per person to about 100 gallons.
"Phoenix looks like it has been watered by Niagara Falls," says Babbitt. "But in wealthy suburbs, it's finally fashionable to have cacti."
The city prides itself on citizen involvement in government, on self-help and efficiency. After the tax-cutting Proposition 13 was approved in California in 1978, several hundred citizens were put to work on Phoenix's capital needs.
They decided the city should raise $253 million through the sale of revenue bonds, went out and raised the money necessary for a campaign and got the bond issue approved in 1979.
This spring, when the Reagan administration's budget cuts began to take shape, a local builder called the mayor's office, Hance said, and offered to repair 550 miles of city streets free.
Then an anonymous donor gave $20,000 to keep open three city swimming pools. A service group donated $10,000 to the city's silent-witness program, which encourages people to help solve crimes. Another group of citizens took responsibility for putting lights up at a new park. And a Boy Scout troop adopted a city park and now providing regular maintenance.
"Arizona still has the western can-do attitude, the feeling that when times are bad, we can take care of ourselves," Hance says.

Ministering in a Changing Culture comment (0)
January 16, 2014
By Bob Terry
Who would have imagined that Alabama Baptist churches would be considering how to involve openly gay couples in active congregational life? Even though it is not politically correct, most Alabama Baptists believe Romans 1:21–26 where the apostle Paul calls homosexual relationships a “perversion” and says the practice demonstrates what happens when people claim to be “wise” but behave as “fools.”
That understanding is expressed in the most recent Baptist Faith and Message Statement of Faith where Article XV states, in part, “Christians should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality including adultery, homosexuality and pornography.”
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) constitution goes even further. Article III, Section 1, says, in part, “Among churches not in cooperation with the convention are churches which act to affirm, approve or endorse homosexual behavior.” Some understand Article III, Section 1 to mean that churches that accept openly gay members are excluded from SBC membership.
With such policies, one would expect little reason for cooperating churches to consider the role of openly gay couples in the ongoing life of a cooperating Baptist church.
But that changed in 2013 and promises to change more in the days ahead.
The June 26, 2013, U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a major portion of the federal Defense of Marriage Act was a giant step toward changing the culture of marriage in the United States. By a 5–4 decision, the court ruled that same-sex couples are entitled to the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples. As a result of that decision major companies in Alabama and across the nation have changed their benefits policies to provide marriage benefits for same-sex couples.
Since that Supreme Court decision, various federal courts have ruled same-sex “marriage” legal in California, New Jersey, New Mexico and Utah and state Legislatures approved the concept in Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois and Minnesota. These recent moves amount to a lot of historic change in only a six-month time period.
That is why Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Mill Valley, Calif., recently sponsored a conference on Ministering in the New Marriage Culture. And that is why Alabama Baptist pastors openly shared about ministering to homosexuals who are already participating in the congregational life of numerous Alabama Baptist churches.
Baptist leaders at the New Marriage Culture conference and those interviewed by this publication were unanimous that churches must respond with humility to homosexuals because none of us live life as Jesus wants. The leaders counseled that churches must respond with grace because Jesus responded with grace to us in our sin. They said same-sex couples should be welcomed to worship just as any other person who genuinely desired to worship God through faith in Jesus Christ (see the Jan. 9 issue of The Alabama Baptist, page 1).
Such counsel seems to create a dilemma. How can a church demonstrate humility and grace to same-sex couples and at the same time hold to its understanding of biblical teaching that condemns homosexual behavior?
Perhaps a more basic question is why Southern Baptists singled out the sin of homosexuality in its constitution but did not include any of the other sins grouped with homosexuality in Scripture in its statement of faith.
The answer to that question might provide guidance. If a church seeks to minister to the greedy, the slanderers, those with alcohol problems, those caught up in adultery, vice or dishonest behavior, then why would a church not be open to those living a homosexual lifestyle (1 Cor. 6:9)? The apostle Paul also reminds us that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).
But is participation in a local Baptist church the same as membership in that church?
In many churches the two are equated. So strong is the goal of growing the membership in these churches that they do not even have orientation classes for new members. Some churches leave the membership question entirely to participants and accept all who seek membership without ever voting as a local church body.
In the early days of Baptist life, and still among some Baptist bodies, the church placed claims on the lives of its members. Members were expected to regularly participate in worship, to evidence a growing faith, to support the church financially, to participate in missions and service and to share their faith with others.
These commitments were expressed through a church covenant and members were held accountable for living up to their covenant promises. The purpose of the covenant was to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Heb. 10:24–25) in order that the “body of Christ may be built up” (Eph. 4:11–12).
Participation in the church, its activities and programs, was open to all but members were held to a higher standard expressed in the church covenant. This allowed the local church opportunity to help people caught up in publically recognized sinful behaviors to repent and return to a lifestyle consistent with biblical standards.
Over time that system collapsed under the weight of pettiness and abuse but misuse in the past should not prevent looking again at the values of the concept. Today covenant membership may provide an opportunity for a church to be welcoming to all while holding true to its doctrinal commitments and biblical understandings. Covenant membership may provide an opportunity to change the focus from recruiting members for the church to making Christian disciples.
The idea of placing doctrinal and ethical commitments on members will not be popular with those committed to making homosexual practices as acceptable as a heterosexual lifestyle. Others will hesitate because we are all uncomfortable becoming “judge” of another’s behavior.
Yet there is general understanding that violation of basic Baptist understandings of faith and practice places limits on involvement — even in a local church. As the secular “marriage culture” changes in this nation, it is incumbent on the church that it find ways to communicate the love of God for all people in grace and humility while holding true to its understandings of what the Bible teaches. Covenant church membership might offer such an opportunity.

The tag-team hop-hop action kicks off in New Orleans, Louisiana on June 16 and runs through September — and more dates are expected to be added.
Drake and 21 Savage are officially hitting the road together this summer. In a major move guaranteed to give fans a jolt at the start of the workweek, Drake revealed the It’s All a Blur Tour in a video posted to Instagram Monday morning. Concert-goers can expect to hear hits from the rapper’s last three projects, Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, and Her Loss performed live.
According to Drizzy’s official website, drakerelated.com, the 28-date trek begins in New Orleans on June 16 and will run through Sept. 5, the last stop being in Glendale, Arizona.

The phenomenon, which consists of extremely warm sea surface temperatures, is officially referred to as the Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave of 2019, or less formally as “The Blob.” The weather event’s name was inspired by another “Blob” that was first detected in 2013 between Southern California and Alaska which depleted salmon population, led to the starvation of sea lions and prompted the growth of toxic algae blooms. The 2013 heat wave lasted until 2015, before briefly resurfacing for a period of time in 2016.
With “The Blob” seemingly making a comeback, researchers are concerned about the effects it could have on the marine ecosystem this time around.
“I am surprised to see something like this develop again so soon after what looked like the end of the marine heat wave in 2016,” Nate Mantua, head of the Landscape Ecology Team at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries Science Center in California, told the San Francisco Chronicle.
“If this persists and it spreads to the coast, then I think it would be bad news for marine life and many fisheries along the West Coast,” he added.
According to Mantua, the mass of warm water began developing in June. However, it remains about 1,000 miles offshore.
“It’s not all the way to the coastline, and that’s important because most of the marine life along the West Coast is near shore,” Mantua explained. “The other bright side of this, so far, is it’s a pretty thin blanket on the ocean, which means it doesn’t have a lot of inertia.”
However, it’s the second largest marine heat wave in the northern Pacific Ocean after the previous “Blob” in the last 40 years, according to the NOAA. In addition, above-average temperatures have been recorded on the coasts of Oregon and Washington, as well as off the coast of Fort Bragg in Northern California.
Marine heat waves are formed through ocean currents or winds that lead to areas of warm water.

In the second round for the presidency are fighting the leader of the movement “Forward”, the former Minister of the economy Emmanuel macron, who scored in the first round 24,01% of the votes and the candidate from the party “national front” marine Le Pen (21.3 per cent).

There may be numerous ingredients that go into a workable and successful Chapter 11 reorganization plan. In some plans, one of those ingredients is non-consensual third-party releases. For some debtor businesses, the potential long-term viability of the business itself may hinge upon obtaining those releases and forever closing the door on certain creditor claims. Given how important these releases can be to the long-term success of your business, they serve as one more example of just how vital it is to have the right Florida Chapter 11 bankruptcy lawyer on your side to help you develop a plan with all the right ingredients, and then see that plan through all the way to a successful end.
Non-consensual third-party releases appear in Chapter 11 cases when the reorganization plan, in order to be viable, requires the court to sign off on the release of certain non-debtor third parties from claims by the debtor’s creditors. Recently, it was the Third Circuit Court of Appeals that was asked to address this topic.
In that case, the debtor was a Delaware-incorporated specialty laboratory that, in 2014, entered into a $1.825 billion credit agreement with multiple lenders. In 2015, the lab filed for bankruptcy. The debtor’s restructuring plan involved “broad releases, including ones that would bind non-consenting lenders.” One of those non-consenting lenders was one of the major lenders in that 2014 credit agreement. The bankruptcy court approved the plan, despite the lender’s objection.
The appeals court ultimately upheld the bankruptcy court’s approval of the reorganization plan, stating that bankruptcy courts have the right to take away creditors’ right to sue certain non-debtor third parties if eliminating that possibility was vital to the restructuring.
This, of course, is very good news for debtors seeking Chapter 11 reorganization in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. This may leave you wondering “how would this kind of case end up if it had been originally filed in Florida?”
Releases are OK if their absence would “doom the possibility of success” of the entity
Fortunately for debtors considering a Chapter 11 filing, the outcome would probably be somewhat similar in Florida. The 11th Circuit, whose decisions control bankruptcy cases filed in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, generally agrees with the Third Circuit (and a majority of federal appellate courts) that these kinds of non-consensual third-party releases are allowable. In 1996, the 11th Circuit stated that these releases are permissible when they were “integral to settlement in an adversary proceeding” and when the party released from creditors’ claims was someone who would agree to the settlement only if it included that release.
More recently, the 11th Circuit handled another non-consensual third-party release case, and this one provided yet another scenario in which these releases may be permissible. The case, which was decided in 2015, involved an engineering firm from North Florida and releases that were not “integral” to settlement. Nevertheless, they were effective under the law because, without them, the claims would “undermine the operations” of the reorganized debtor and “doom the possibility of success” of that reorganized entity. When that’s the case, the court said, it is allowable to approve non-consensual third-party releases.
If your business is thinking about filing for bankruptcy, there may be several options available to you. Depending on the facts of your case, a Chapter 11 plan with non-consensual third-party releases may be just the step in the right direction that your business needs.

The “Brightest” Subway Station – 49th Street
Do you ever notice something aesthetically unusual in New York and wonder about its history? Thousands of commuters pass through the bright orange, open, columnless 49th Street subway station at 7th avenue every day and likely notice – it looks nothing like NYC’s other stations! How did this happen?
In the 1970s, the MTA was expanding and funding the enhancement of existing stations that needed an upgrade. The architectural trends at the time were about clean lines, bold colors, and unobstructed spaces and when architect Philip Johnson was commissioned to spearhead the $2.5 million renovation of the 49th Street subway station, he had “cheer” in mind. This is the theater district, and the subway, he thought, was ready for some zest and color.
The 49th Street station previously looked similar to most others in New York City – white tiling with dark blue and brown mosaic detailing around the street sign. Columns throughout the platform, cement floors, benches with armrests and posts beneath them. This sleek, modern orange brick in an open, boxy space was a bold choice in October 1973, and the first of its kind.
Philip Johnson had already accomplished a lot in his field by the time he designed this station. The Koch Theater at Lincoln Center and the Seagram Building are both Johnson’s work–a bright orange underground subway platform was an obvious departure from his usual style, and a unique opportunity to contribute to the NYC cityscape in a new way. Johnson added terrazzo flooring, soundproofing in the station’s ceiling, and benches that seem to float above ground. He laid the red bricks over the existing tiles, which actually decreased the size of the subway platform by several inches.
Since its renovation in October 1973, a few accessibility changes have been made, changing the appearance slightly but it is still Philip Johnson’s visionary station. The Bowling Green station has also since been designed in the same style – 49th Street and Bowling Green are the only places you’ll find this unique orange brick on the NYC subway. If you were tasked with redesigning a public transit stop in your home city, where would you start?
Most visual aspects of New York City are the product of decisions, collaborations, plans, and intentions for the city that we seldom hear or see. What strikes us enough to research/pursue the full story? What do we miss when we are not curious about our environment?

* through gritted teeth, I write that.
I'm not a super fan of handstitching, and totally go for the machine each time. BUT, I made this short dress/long tshirt a while back, but the neckline kinda got pulled as I topstitched it, and it got weirder when I ironed i. So I wanted to stick a bow on it, to cover it up!
But, I couldn't find my needles anywhere, they were still packed somewhere in a missing box (after the move to Melbs!), so luckily over the weekend Husbie found the rogue sewing room box, and there I also found the good scissors! Phew!
I stitched the bow on today, but even though it looks cute, I'm still not 100 % in love with handstitching. B-O-R-I-N-G!
Thanks for your comments on yesterday's post! I think I'll get some good photos of the finished dress for you tomorrow! YAY

THURLOW NUNN LEAGUE
FC Clacton 0
Mildenhall Town 4
Mildenhall Town halted a four-match winless run by kicking off the new year in style with an emphatic victory away at FC Clacton on Saturday.
Town headed into the new year following back-to-back away defeats and void of any festive cheer after they slipped to losses at Hadleigh United and Norwich United.
However, those difficulties were put well and truly behind them at the Rush Green Bowl with a devastating first-half display as they wrapped up victory in the opening 45 minutes thanks in main to a hat-trick from Dan Brown.
The visitors started at a blistering pace and broke the deadlock in the first few minutes.
Mildenhall capitalised on a misplaced pass and, when the ball was fed in from the left, Brown had the simple task of slotting past goalkeeper Joe Fowler.
That momentum continued and Brown quickly doubled his tally when he reacted quickest to pounce on a mistake from custodian Fowler to score again.
The visitors refused to rest on their laurels and maintained their attacking intent with Green adding a spectacular third shortly after.
A deep cross from the right-hand side found the midfielder inside the area and he made no mistake, volleying the ball past Fowler from close range.
However, Town and Brown were not done just yet as the striker completed his impressive hat-trick before the break, finishing from close range to round off a rampant opening 45 minutes.
The second-half failed to match the excitement of the first and despite Mildenhall calling Fowler into action a number of times throughout the half, they could not add to their tally.

The humble grains of semolina are widely used in Indian cooking. And I'm always fascinated by how versatile they can be. Sometimes sweet, sometimes savory, sometimes the crunchy coating on a simple fried fish, semolina has many wonderful avatars.
Sooji upma is a breakfast dish that's as delicious as it is good for you. Upma is welcoming of all sorts of flavors and vegetables, so if you've eaten a carrot stick too many, you can always replace it with any other veggie you like. And feel free to garnish it with scraped coconut, peanuts, cashews, bits of dry fruit or even slices of your favorite fruit.
I've always found Upma to be a sort of breakfast treasure hunt. Sometimes an emerald green pea will surface in a morsel; sometimes a fleck of crunchy peanut will peep out. And it all works beautifully because of the wonderful blank canvas that is semolina.
