Although I have been to La Maddalena Archipelago and Caprera Island countless times, I only visited Cala Brigantina during my last trip. I actually went there twice – once by boat and once on a hike – and loved it, so I thought I’d share with you all the information you need to visit.
Cala Brigantina is a tiny cove located in the eastern part of Caprera Island, one of the islands of La Maddalena Archipelago (and of the La Maddalena National Park) in north-eastern Sardinia.
Caprera is well known for its natural beauty and for having been the place where Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italian unification hero, lived the last years of his life and where he died in 1882.
Cala Brigantina is lesser known and not nearly as popular as other beaches in Caprera, such as Cala Coticcio, Cala Napoletana or Spiaggia Del Relitto, but it definitely has its own charm and peculiarities.
Make sure to read this entire post. Cala Brigantina is a protected beach and you can’t go there independently. Don’t worry though. Here I will explain everything you need to know.
You should also read my post A Guide To Caprera Island, Sardinia: 8 Best Beaches And More.
Table of Contents
What You Must Know About Cala Brigantina
Cala Brigantina Beach
There are two small coves you can visit at Cala Brigantina: the main one, which is the one you get to via the hike (more about that in a bit); and the smaller one which is slightly detached from the main one and can be reached by walking over the rocks or by swimming.
The sand at Cala Brigantina is light-colored and fine the cove is surrounded by granite rocks and a dense Mediterranean scrub. The sea is incredibly clear and transparent, with colors ranging from turquoise to emerald green and cobalt blue; the seabed is shallow and sandy.
Cala Brigantina is sheltered from the winds and compared to other beaches in Caprera Island it is little frequented even during the summer months, partly because it can only be accessed on foot and with a guide or by boat – so it is a true oasis of peace.
Services at Cala Brigantina
Since this is a protected beach, you won’t find anything here in terms of facilities. You will need to bring everything you need for your time at the beach.
Bring water and snacks, sun lotion and a straw beach mat (the latter is mandatory if you want to sit on the sandy shore), and a towel (which however you aren’t allowed to lay on the sand); and everything else you might need.
Keep in mind that beach umbrellas are not allowed, so you’ll be exposed to the sun for as long as you stay at the beach. Make sure to bring a hat!
The hike to Cala Brigantina
The only way to get to Cala Brigantina is via a guided hike or during a boat tour (more about that in a bit). There is no direct road access to Cala Brigantina.
Hiking to Cala Brigantina
You’ll begin the tour by visiting Poggio Raso Superiore Fort, an abandoned military fort built at the end of 1800. This was the largest fortification (around six hectares) of Caprera and now is completely integrated with the Mediterranean scrub.
Poggio Rasu Superiore was the center of sighting and placement of cannons to fire against enemies approaching from the sea. It is located on a hill at around 100 meters (roughly 329 feet) above sea level.
During the visit, you will see the rooms where the dynamite was kept and the rails by which the explosives were transported. The view of the coast from the fort is stunning. Poggio Rasu Inferiore, the lower part of the fort, is where the barracks, storerooms, kitchens, infirmaries, dead ends and tunnels were located.
The trail to walk to Cala Brigantina starts from Poggio Rasu Superiore fort (hence why the fort is normally included in the visit). The hike is completely downhill on the way to the beach, and takes between 15 and 20 minutes.
You will be walking along the same trail (and uphill) on the way back. The hike back up should take around 20 minutes.
The hike is fairly easy and even accessible to children – though not infants. The trail is well marked, but the terrain can be uneven in parts so you really should wear hiking shoes or boots – sandals and flip flops are not recommended at all.
The guide will stop several times for shade and to point out vegetation and wildlife. You will get to spend between 2 and 2.5 hours at the beach, which is plenty of time to relax, snorkel and see the seabed and fish of the protected area. You might see sea breams, sea urchins, gilthead breams, sea stars, octopuses, morays and much more. Please do not touch any of them.
Make sure to bring a straw mat in case you may wish to sit or lay on the sand – it’s forbidden to lay towels directly on the sand, as they normally carry away a lot of sand! Before leaving the beach make sure to shake your straw mat well to avoid taking back with you even the smallest amount of sand.
Guided hikes to Cala Brigantina depart between 8:30 and 9:00 am (back between 1:30 and 2:00 pm) and at 02:30 pm (back at 6:30 pm).
Picking a guide
While the trail to Cala Brigantina is well marked and easy to follow, you will need a guide for the hike. This is because Cala Brigantina is a highly protected beach: only a limited number of visitors are allowed every day, and guides make sure that everyone respect the rules and the beach remains as pristine as possible.
You can find the list of guides approved by La Maddalena National Park on the national park website here. The list will show the guide’s name, email address and phone number. You can send them an email or call them, however I recommend using whatsapp as a means of communication if you can, as that is significantly quicker than sending emails.
I suggest getting in touch with a guide a week or two before your intended day of visiting, because admission to the cove is limited and the guides of the national park may be busy, especially in July and August.
When I visited, I opted for a local guide (residence is reported on the list) because I personally preferred someone who lives on the island and knows it well. I recommend Giuliano Gaio, who speaks very good English too. You can find him at +393478488803 or send an email to [email protected]. The guided hike costs about €20 to €25 per person – but make sure to ask for the fee upon making your reservation.
What I truly liked about Giuliano is that he is a very friendly person, he has in depth knowledge of the the flora and fauna of the area, he shared everything about the Poggio Rasu Fort which is visited as part of the hike and he is available to answer any questions. His love for the island is truly visible in the way he talks about it!
I also really appreciated how much Giuliano cares about preserving the beauty and sustaining the ecosystem of the park.
Paying the National Park admission fee
In addition to the guided hike, you also need to pay a small fee to access the National Park. You will have to do this about 48 hours prior to the hike, once everything is confirmed with the guide. The admission fee is €3.00 per person; children up to 12 years old do not have to pay the ticket.
Paying the national park admission fee is easy. Here is how to do it:
- Go to the PagoPa payment system website – this is the site we use to make payment to anything related to the public administration.
- Click on “Ticket Ingresso Cala Brigantina”.
- You will be taken to a page where you will have to specify how much you are paying (which depends on the size of the group); what you are paying for (just write Cala Brigantina + day, month, year of visit) and your name. You can tick the button “non si conosce il codice fiscale del versante” since you are not a resident of Italy.
After having paid and once the receipt is ready, you’ll receive an email. Download your receipt as you need to show it to the guide on the day of the tour. Keep in mind that tickets are valid only for the specific day and time of your guided hike and cannot be refunded in case of you decide not to go.
You may be subjected to a fine if you don’t pay the national park admission fee and if you hike to the beach without a guide.
Where to park to access the trail
The starting point of the hike to Cala Brigantina is Poggio Rasu Superiore fort. You can reach the meeting place by bike, motorbike or car.
From La Maddalena Town, where you will likely be staying, you need to follow directions to Caprera. Cross the bridge that connects La Maddalena to Caprera, continue straight and, at the first crossroads, turn right then immediately left.
At the first intersection with another paved road turn right again and you will easily reach the Opera di Poggio Rasu inferiore. You can park there and continue on foot till Poggio Rasu superiore.
Phone reception in the area is actually good, so you can simply look for the place on your GPS and it will guide you there. If you have any issues finding it, call your guide as he (or she) will be happy to find you and guide you to a good parking spot.
Boat tours that go to Cala Brigantina
Cala Brigantina can also be reached by boat. There are boat tours of La Maddalena Archipelago departing regularly from La Maddalena, Palau or Cannigione that stop at Cala Brigantina every day. No boats will take you directly to the beach – there is no docking spot – but they will dock nearby and you can swim to the shore.
When I visited Cala Brigantina by boat I joined a half-day zodiac tour operated through Villa del Parco Hotel, where I was staying. The tour departs from La Maddalena tourist harbor and also picks up passengers in Palau.
I booked it directly through the hotel when I was there already. I know they take external guests. Unfortunately the site does not mention the price of the excursion, but you can email them at [email protected] to enquire.
Alternatively, I recommend this private boat tour around Caprera Island that departs from Cannigione and also makes a stop in Cala Brigantina and Cala Coticcio. It is a fairly expensive tour, so it makes sense to do it if you can share it with other people.
You should also read my post The Best Boat Trips To La Maddalena.
If you prefer you can rent a rubber dinghy from one of the companies mentioned on La Maddalena National Park website here. Ask the company for more information on how far you need to drop the anchor in Cala Brigantina.
Simple rules to follow when visiting Cala Brigantina
I’m sure you’ll love the peace and the nature of Cala Brigantina. To keep this tiny cove as magical as it currently is, please follow a few simple rules to help protect its delicate ecosystem (and to avoid a fine):
DON’T PLACE UMBRELLAS – Don’t ever bother taking one with you, as placing it is anyways forbidden. You can find some shelter from the sun close to the rock formations and under the trees. Bring plenty of sunscreen with you.
When we got to the beach, a couple was already there: they had descended without a guide (which is forbidden) and planted their umbrella. The guide told them that they could not stay as they had not paid the ticket or hired a guide, and that they were contravening the rules by planting an umbrella. He gave them 15 minutes to leave the beach. Thankfully, they did not challenge him and left soon afterwards. Don’t be this person! Don’t set a bad example!
USE A STRAW MAT – Don’t lay your towels directly on the sand but put them on the straw mats to avoid carrying away the precious sand. Before you leave shake the mat strongly.
DO NOT STEAL SAND – Taking sand with you is actually forbidden in Cala Brigantina and anywhere else in Sardinia. You may receive a fine if you are caught with it (and trust me, police officers at customs and security in airports and harbors search for that specifically!).
TAKE ONLY MEMORIES – It’s absolutely forbidden to pick up flowers and plants; it is also forbidden to catch (and even simply touch) fish, marine stars or jelly fish and to harass animals that live in the area such as boars and goats.
PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF – There are no trash cans at the beach. Take any trash you may have with you and dispose of it once back. Any waste, and especially plastic waste, harms the environment and takes years to get decomposed. Remember we do separate and recycle in Sardinia.
LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME – Unfortunately dogs can’t access Cala Brigantina.

Who can have the screening?
You are automatically invited for the screening if you are:
- registered as a female at the surgery
- aged between 25 & 64
- you are screened every 3 years between the age of 25&49 or every 5 years between the ages of 50&64.
What is cervical screening?
Cervical screening is a test that helps prevent cervical cancer also known as a smear test.
Cervical Screening is not a test for cancer. It looks for cell changes (abnormal cells) on your cervix caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV.)
What is HPV?
Human Papillomavirus is a common virus that is passed through skin to skin contact. 80% of women will have at some point had the virus but usually our immune system will fight it!
How does HPV cause cervical cancer?
For a small number of women, their immune system cant get rid of HPV. If this happens, HPV may stay in your body for many years. This is called persistent infection. Over time, a persistent infection with high risk HPV can cause changes to cells. Cell changes mat develop into cervical cancer if they are not monitored or treated, The time between getting HPV and developing cell changes or cervical cancer varies from person to person.

AAA (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm)
AAA stands for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. The aorta is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to your body. It runs from your heart down through your chest and abdomen.
In some people, as they get older, the wall of the aorta in the abdomen can become weak. It can then start to expand and form what is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The condition is most common in men aged 65 and above. Men are six times more likely to have an aneurysm than women and your risk of having an aneurysm increases if you are or have been a smoker, you have high blood pressure or you have a close family member who has had one.
If you have an AAA you will not usually notice any signs or symptoms; this means cannot tell if you have one, will not feel any pain or notice anything different. Large aneurysms are rare but can be very serious. As the wall of the aorta stretches it becomes weak and can burst, causing internal bleeding. Around 85% die when an aneurysm bursts.
An aorta that is only slightly larger than normal is not dangerous; however, it is still important to know about it so that we can check if the aneurysm is getting bigger.
AAA screening is a free NHS national programme that screens men aged 65 plus to check if they have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The screening is by invitation and uses an ultra sound scan. If you are a man aged over 65 you are more at risk of an abdominal aortic aneurysm that any other demographic so this is why you will be invited for screening.
We offer screening so we can find aneurysms early and monitor or treat them. This greatly reduces the chances of the aneurysm causing serious problems.
Men over 65 who have not previously been screened or diagnosed with an aneurysm can request a scan by contacting their local programme directly on: 0191 445 2554
The North East of England and North Cumbria AAA screening programme is run from The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, you will be invited to a local clinic for an ultra sound scan. Our centre covers the area from North Yorkshire to Berwick and North Cumbria.

Please watch the attached video
NATIONAL BOWEL SCREENING PROGRAMME
The practice firmly believes that this simple test is a valuable aid in detecting any potential signs of bowel cancer cells and we would encourage you to complete and return the kit when you receive it.
Why it's offered
Bowel cancer is a common type of cancer in both men and women. About 1 in 20 people will get it during their lifetime.
Screening can help detect bowel cancer at an early stage, when it's easier to treat. It can also be used to help check for and remove small growths in the bowel called polyps, which can turn into cancer over time.
When it's offered
NHS bowel cancer screening is only offered to people aged 55 or over, as this is when you're more likely to get bowel cancer:
- if you're 60 to 74, you'll automatically be invited to do a home testing kit every 2 years
- if you're 75 or over, you can ask for a home testing kit every 2 years by calling the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60
For further information visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/bowel-cancer-screening/
You should continue to be aware of any bowel symptoms such as:-
- A persistent change in bowel habit, especially going to the toilet more often or diarrhoea for several weeks
- Bleeding from the back passage without any obvious reasons
- Abdominal pain, especially if it is severe
Please remember that these symptoms do not necessarily mean that you have bowel cancer but if you have one or more of these symptoms you should see your GP.
Should you no longer have the test kit and now wish to take part, you can call the screening free-phone number: 0800 707 6060 and ask for another kit.

The official introduction will most likely take place in the beginning of Q3 2017, with global availability following shortly after. At the launch, the Canon EOS 6D carried a retail price of €2000 body only, the EOS 6D Mark II will most likely have a similar price tag.

Wedding Jenga Guestbook Idea
Using the fun game Jenga we turned the blocks into a guest signing success! I had a lady make the wood sign but you could do it easily on your own. Just get a wood board and use letter decals to write “Build memories, sign a jenga piece!” Then you will also need a stand to hold it up.
Buy a cheap round fish bowl to have your guests put the jenga blocks in when they finish signing them. I also added some fake diamonds to the bottom of the glass bowl to make it prettier when it was first empty.
Add some thin point black sharpies to your table and you’re all set! It was very fun reading the jenga blocks the morning after the wedding. We even had Elvis drop by our reception 😉
We had some humorous ones such as the one in the bowl…

There are many stresses we deal with throughout our lives, but money worries don’t have to be one of them.
The last few decades was the age of consumption. Many of us have more and do more than our parents ever did – and we’re also more stressed.
Of life’s stressors, financial stress seems to be top of list. Reducing financial stress can’t be based on having more money.
It starts by living within your means.
Reality is, you probably don’t have unlimited funds so living on the income you have is the only option. I’m also guessing, you don’t just want to survive but enjoy and thrive for as long as you have. Spending your money where it really counts can make that difference. In other words, making conscious spending decisions and using money for true priorities – on what you really need and on what you believe is important. Matching up what you really want with what you can afford is the route to true happiness and less stress.
Here are my rules to living within your means.
Debt management is the first thing to get your arms around. There are two types of debt: 1 – consumption debt and 2 – investment debt.
Consumption debt is from stuff that hasn’t really been paid for and probably isn’t worth what was paid. You’ve been coerced, wooed, cajoled and sold by advertisers to buy stuff to make you feel good. Okay, you’ve bought into that concept for awhile – but for the sake of your health, your relationships and your future financial security you need to stop thinking – “more stuff = happiness”.
Living within your means starts with internalizing the idea your parents or grandparents had – that consumption debt is bad debt and must be scorned once again. Everything you buy depreciates. Concert tickets, a plasma TV and a new car. You may feel all these things provide you with great memories or freedom or relaxation and for those reasons may be worthwhile. But you need to weigh the short term gratification of having these things against the long term stress of spending your limited resources on them.
You need to consolidate consumption debt onto the lowest cost credit card or line of credit available and pay it off before you buy anything other than what you need. Then you have to decide you won’t ever have consumption debt again. You save the old fashioned way and pay for your wants with the money you have saved. That’s all I have to say about that!
Rule #1 – Buy only what you need and can pay for now – like your grandparents did.
Investment debt is often considered good debt – its money borrowed for investment. A mortgage is investment debt and it helps purcashe a tax free investment – your home. Real estate appreciates and when you sell it for more than you paid for it – you keep all the money! Its not taxed like other investment gains. Real Estate has appreciated at about 6% over the last 20 years in Ontario. However, too much mortgage used to purchase too much home can be a stressor. When interest rates increase (and they will!) you may find yourself paying a lot more to finance a big and expensive to maintain home. I’m not so sure that “buying the biggest home you can afford” is the best long term strategy anymore – not if it means you’re strapped for cash for other immediate needs. We may see a few decades where smaller, more affordable homes will continue to be in demand while demand for larger homes decline as baby boomers downsize. A more prudent strategy may be to purchase a smaller home so you can spend the right amount on other priorities. Regardless, when it comes to a mortgage, the best strategy is to plan paying off that mortgage by retirement or sooner.
Rule # 2 – Buy a home you can comfortably pay for to be able to do the other things you need and want to do.
Many of us see retirement so far off we can’t give it much attention. Believe me, the years go by quickly so decide today you’ll “pay yourself first” and begin investing in your retirement. Plan on not being a burden to your children or society. Other than if you have the most lucrative pension, you’ll probably need to have savings to cover retirement expenses and large purchases – a car, vacation, potential healthcare bills etc. Begin by creating an automatic withdrawal from your bank account to long term savings – be it an RSP or TFSA. Speak to a financial advisor to figure out how to make this work.
Rule #3 – Invest in your retirement by making sure you’ll have one!
Since you probably don’t have unlimited income, you will need to decide where and how much to spend in all the areas that are important to you. The sooner you decide, the sooner you’ll be living your life the way you really want. For example, if family is important to you, you need to decide on the areas you want to spend your money on to fulfill your priorities. Vacations and activities are important but so are education funds, life insurance and long term financial security. Decide consciously how much you want to spend in all the important areas of your life.
Rule #4 – Make sure you spend the rest of your money on what’s really important
No business, family or person can manage their finances well without tracking money coming in and money going out. I know this is tedious and not fun – but deep down, you know you have to do this. I’ve reduced it to a simple one page spreadsheet you can use for the entire year. The spreadsheet allows you to track your money with as much or little detail as you want. The important thing is to track it so you know less money goes out than comes in. Send me an e-mail and I’ll send you the excel spreadsheet.
Rule #5 – know what’s coming in and what’s going out.
After tracking the money going out, you may find a significant amount can’t be identified. The money is spent, but you’re not sure where. This is called the “latte factor” – money spent on day to day “stuff” that really isn’t a priority. Spending is so much a part of us, we often spend small amounts throughout the day that add up to large amounts. Although it may seem trivial, watching this spending can help you save big.
Rule #6 – Watch the latte factor.
Living within your means may mean spending less in some areas but it can also mean spending more where it really counts. You just need to decide and live with less stress.

What was the bigger story Saturday afternoon? Temple picking up its first Big East win since it was kicked out of the league in 2004, or USF and its confounding implosion?
Depends on your perspective, of course. First, let's start with Temple, a team that showed more passion, heart and a will to win throughout its 37-28 victory. The Owls physically dominated what was supposed to be one of the best defensive lines in the Big East, allowing Montel Harris to post his best day in a Temple uniform.
Harris, finally healthy after being slowed with a sore hamstring all season, had 133 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and Temple (2-2, 1-0) ran for 216 total yards. Chris Coyer got the pass game going, too, going 16-of-20 for 167 yards and a touchdown. He added 54 yards on the ground.
Special teams came up big at the end, too. Marcus Green gets a game ball for his blocked field goal to help the Owls win. USF, attempting another comeback with less than two minutes to go, threw incomplete on a fourth-and-short. But Nate D. Smith was called for roughing the passer, giving the Bulls new life. They marched into field goal range, and Maikon Bonani lined up for the potential game-winning 45-yard field goal attempt. But Green burst through with the block, and Harris scored from 35 yards out one play later to seal the win.
The only downside to the victory: The Owls may have suffered a potentially devastating injury to running back Matt Brown, whose leg bent awkwardly when getting tackled in the fourth quarter. Brown immediately clutched his knee and did not return to the game. He was having a great day, too, with 137 all-purpose yards.
Now to USF. What has to be particularly frustrating for Bulls fans is the same old storyline keeps repeating itself. Simply put, the Bulls cannot get themselves motivated for these Big East games. They play extremely well in their marquee nonconference matchups. They hung with No. 3 Florida State for most of last week's game.
But against teams that are not as heralded, there is a lack of energy and motivation, and a clear blase attitude.
That played out once again in Philadelphia. For the third time this season, USF had to fight and claw its way back against an opponent it should have beaten. USF has more talent and is much more experienced than Temple, considering the amount of starting seniors on this team. The Bulls were lucky to complete that comeback against Nevada. But it failed against Ball State, and it failed against Temple.
The Bulls (2-4, 0-2) have now lost four straight games and it appears as if they are going to have a tough time winning four of their final six games to make a bowl game. Now questions are being asked about whether coach Skip Holtz deserves to be on the hot seat. With the loss, he is now 15-16 in his third season at USF.
Holtz just received a contract extension, so he has that going for him. But no doubt Holtz is going to have a lot of explaining to do. When you are USF, you simply should not lose games to teams like Ball State and Temple.


Deployment and Optimisation of a Pilot-Scale IASBR System for Treatment of Dairy Processing Wastewater
Increased pressure is being applied to industrial wastewater treatment facilities to adhere to more stringent regulations for the discharge of treated wastewater and to improve energy efficiency of the process. Nitrogen and phosphorous removal can be challenging to achieve efficiently, and in the case of phosphorous removal, can often necessitate the use of chemicals. There is a major drive globally to improve wastewater treatment infrastructure, whilst simultaneously reducing the carbon
... nt of the process. The intermittently aerated sequencing batch reactor offers a modification of the well-known sequencing batch reactor process that can enable lower energy requirements than conventional sequencing batch reactor processes and can facilitate enhanced nutrient removal capacities. However, to date much of the previous literature has focused on relatively short laboratory-scale trials (often with synthetic wastewater) which may not be representative of larger scale system performance. This study explored the intermittently aerated sequencing batch reactor technology via a case-study deployment at a dairy production facility, in terms of treatment efficiency and energy efficiency with a focus on optimisation between phases. High treatment capacity and operational flexibility was achieved with NH4-N removals averaging >89%, PO4-P removal averaging >90% and total suspended solids removal averaging >97%. This research demonstrates the characteristics of intermittently aerated sequencing batch reactor technology at scale to effectively achieve biological nutrient removal. In addition, this study demonstrated that when effectively managed, energy savings and reductions in carbon emissions in the region of 36–68% are achievable through optimisation of reactor operation.


President Trump insinuated Senator Chris Murphy tried to circumvent American foreign policy through violation of the Logan Act when he met with Iran foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
“I saw that … Senator Murphy met with the Iranians; is that a fact?” Trump asked reporters. “I just saw that on the way over. Is there anything that I should know? Because that sounds like to me a violation of the Logan Act.”
Murphy admitted to the meeting, justifying his actions by saying “it’s dangerous not to talk to adversaries.”
The Connecticut Democrat met with Zarif at the Munich Security Conference this past weekend, amidst heightened tensions and a new administration policy of isolating the rogue nation.
Murphy, according to Fox News, claimed “he told Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that Congress is also responsible for setting U.S. foreign policy.”

Admits Dems Have Been Advising Iran For Years
Murphy published a series of tweets on Tuesday noting that he and other unnamed Democrat senators did, in fact, conduct a secret meeting with Zarif.
But, he suggested, it was not their intent to sidestep the foreign policy coming from the White House.
“If Trump isn’t going to talk to Iran, then someone should,” Murphy insisted. “And Congress is a co-equal branch of government, responsible along with the Executive for setting foreign policy.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made it clear that any congressional meetings with Zarif were not authorized and offered very serious reasons why.
“This guy is designated by the United States,” Pompeo fumed. “He’s the foreign minister for a country that shot down an airliner and has yet to turn over the black boxes.”
“This is the foreign minister of a country that killed an American on December 27,” he continued. “This is the foreign minister of a country that is the world’s largest state sponsor of terror and the world’s largest sponsor of anti-Semitism.”
Murphy, undaunted by the criticism and obvious insubordination toward the administration, admitted Democrats have been doing this for years.
“Many of us have met [with] Zarif over the years, under Obama and Trump,” Murphy tweeted. “So though no one in Congress can negotiate with Zarif or carry official U.S. government messages, there is value in having a dialogue.”
3/ Congress is a co-equal branch to the executive. We set foreign policy too. Many of us have met w Zarif over the years, under Obama and Trump. So though no one in Congress can negotiate with Zarif or carry official U.S. government messages, there is value in having a dialogue.

Election Interference chris murphy logan act
Here’s the icing on the cake for this meeting with Iran’s foreign minister: Murphy, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, suggested that President Trump’s policy towards Iran may be motivated by the election.
“I think many of us worry that as the election approaches, the president may also be interested in sort of rattling sabers, whether it’s in the Middle East or in other regions of the world,” he stated.
“We certainly worry that while the window closes for mediation [between Iran and the U.S.] the aperture may open for the president to act in provocative ways that may provide him electoral benefit.”
The statements suggest Murphy wasn’t just trying to circumvent foreign policy, but the meeting had his own electoral concerns and benefits in mind.
For a party so concerned with outside election interference, meeting with a terrorist nation to blunt any perceived benefits that military action might have against a rogue terrorist nation seems highly suspect.
That said, the Logan Act has been consistently unenforceable and gets little media attention – unless the violator happens to be an associate of Trump.
“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,” Senator Murphy said in 2017 regarding former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn.
Murphy’s own words seem to indicate that he himself may have acted illegally and the allegations ‘must be taken seriously.’

NEW DELHI: Parliament's budget session is being shortened to shut on March 25 after passing the next year's financial business and that too without any indepth scrutiny, thanks to the Assembly elections in five states in April and May.
The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) is expected to take a final decision Friday morning in this respect and make the recommendation as Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal spoke of a consensus among parties to cut short the session.
As a result, there will be no department-wise scrutiny of the demands by the standing committees as the recess for the purpose that was to begin on March 16 goes and instead both the Houses will sit for another seven days to finish of the passage of the railway and union budgets.
There will be no second half of the session fixed from April 4 to 21, but the CCPA will explore if a brief session of two to three weeks can be convened after the election results are out on May 13 to handle a very long list of the government-sponsored Bills that have piled up since the winter session remain blocked. Also being planned is a longish monsoon session in July-August.
Meanwhile, debate on the Railway Budget that was to begin in the Lok Sabha on Thursday remained blocked because of the noisy agitation for Separate Telangana that forced adjournment of the House six times before the chair adjourning for the day at 3.15 pm. The Rajya Sabha was also rocked with the Telangana demand that forced two adjournments and thus a washout of the question hour, but it could start the railway debate in the afternoon.
On a day when the Andhra Pradesh Assembly was shut and a state minister reportedly sent in resignation to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Telengana Rashtra Samiti chief K Chandrasekhar Rao and his colleague Ms M Vijaya Shanthi jumped into the Lok Sabha well as soon as it assembled and got impromptu support with slogans from the BJP members while the Congress MPs from the Telangana region also joined the chorus by rushing to the aisles but not entering the well. The TDP members waved placards from their seats wanting "United Andhra Pradesh."
There were repeated disruptions and adjournments and finally Speaker Meira Kumar gave in after trying to start the railway budget debate. The House was finally adjourned for the day by presiding Francisco Sardinha, who found the two TRS members refusing to go back to their seats and the Congress and the BJP members raising slogans in support of a separate state of Telangana.
The government is concerned if it will be able to push through a proper discussion on the general budget and the railway budget that may have to be passed with just a minimum of discussion, the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry sources said.

The Witt Studio Chorus is putting on a thought-provoking concert to commemorate those who died in World War One and to explore our connections to them.
The Reading music group will tell the personal stories of unsung heroes and heroines from the war at two concerts in July - and they want you to join them.
The 100-strong choir will perform a number of songs from authentic war tunes to musical numbers like Luck Be A Lady and modern hits like Pharrell's Happy.
Singers of any calibre are welcome to attend the rehearsals, which start next Wednesday, April 30, at Wesley Church in Queens Road.
And there is an extra twist as chorus members will be asked to research their own history and find out how their ancestors were involved in the war.
Those who cannot find anyone in their family who was directly involved in the First World War can chose an historical figure from the war who they would like to represent.
The live singing will be interspersed with scenes filmed before the concert which will tell the stories of eight men and women during the war.
These scenes will be performed by professional opera singers, who will also sing with the chorus on the night.
"Part of the inspiration for this project was sparked by the discovery of my own Great-Grandfather's diary, which he kept when he went to France at the start of the First World War in 1914," says co-director Louise Morgan, whose great-grandfather helped wounded and dying soldiers from the trenches.
"Through this project I aim to show that people like him were very ordinary people just like us, but that their lives were devastatingly interrupted by World War I."
This is a spectacular opportunity to find out more about your own ancestry and connections to World War I, as well as having the chance to sing live to an audience.
At the end of each performance a voluntary collection will be held to raise money for the British Red Cross.
Rehearsals for the shows start on Wednesday, April 30, at 7.30pm.
All singers are welcome to join regardless of prior experience, and you will not need to be able to read music to participate. You will also be given CD's tailored to your vocal range to practice with.
The shows take place on Friday, July 18, and Saturday, July 19, also at Wesley Church. Tickets for the show go on sale at the end of May but you can register your interest on The Witt Studio Chorus website.
For more information on the show and to find out how to send in your ancestors' stories, visit www.wittstudiochorus.com .

At dusk on a blowy, dank late-October afternoon, an unexpected stranger delivers a parcel.
Inside is a black slipcase with a large gothic S emblazoned on the front. After tearing off the bindings, a slightly dog-eared, unreturned library hardback – The Ship Of Theseus by VM Straka – slides out.
The name of the author means nothing to me, so I am ashamed to discover from the introduction the prolific but reclusive Straka is today regarded as one of the key figures of 20th-century modernism and there is a thriving academic industry in trying to identify who he was, what his books meant and how he died.
This, his last novel, published by Winged Shoes Press in 1949, was reconstructed by a loyal translator after the author’s mysterious disappearance from a Havana hotel room in the summer of 1946, following what appears to have been a violent struggle. Having published the book, the translator fled.
But perhaps more curious than the story of Straka, or even his noirish tale of an amnesiac being shanghaied by a crew of sailors with sewn-up mouths, is that this book is crammed with ephemera and scrawled marginalia that seem to tell another story altogether.
Interspersed loosely through its pages are photocopies of threatening letters and telegrams said to have been sent by Straka; postcards sent from Brazil in April 2013 talking in code about a birdwatching trip; handwritten A4 confessionals about formative childhood experiences; newspaper and student magazine cuttings.
In the borders of its yellowed pages, penned in black, blue, then a riot of green, grey, red, purple and even brown biro you can follow, the emerging friendship of Jen, an undergraduate at America’s Pollard State University, and Eric, a disgraced graduate.
The two join forces to try to solve the most mysteries of Straka’s life. They exchanged their notes in the novel at the pre-arranged espionage dead drop of the university library. Of course, the whole thing is an elaborate piece of fun fiction, or metafiction.
S is a novel within (or at least alongside) a novel by the screen visionary JJ Abrams (he of Lost, Cloverfield and the rebooted Star Trek, and now Star Wars franchises) and Doug Dorst, a novelist and lecturer in creative writing.
Abrams had the idea of using one book’s marginalia to tell another story more than a decade ago after finding a Robert Ludlum paperback left at Los Angeles International Airport with a note inside urging other readers to enjoy it then pass it on. He wondered what would happen if, instead of the book being passed on, it had begun a back-and-forth conversation.
The release of S was coordinated globally and its contents shrouded in secrecy until its publication today. But anticipation had already been built through an eerie online film trailer broadcast in August and, from last Friday, five haunting, daily hour-long bulletins from Radio Straka, at www.radiostraka.com.
But why, when he has such multi-platform, multimedia options available to him did Abrams decide to harness his imagination to that most old-fashioned of formats, the hardback book?
‘S was born out of an idea of a love story and the notion of celebrating the book as an object,’ he told the New York Times. ‘In a digital age, it’s a distinctly analogue object. It felt romantic to me.’
This is hardly the first book to play fast and loose with the biographies of invented authors – Jen and Eric are less highbrow, modern-day heirs to the literary sleuths of AS Byatt’s Possession. Nor is it the first to experiment with stories springing from other stories.
It is not even that radical in multimedia terms – although it has a film and radio trailer. S invites you to engage with it as a held-in-hand book. And it works because, as a physical object, S really impresses, suggesting how beautifully-produced books might survive the digital age.
Its sepia-stained pages, convincing-looking biro markings, postcards – even a coffee-shop paper napkin with detailed map apparently hand-drawn – must have been a labour of love for the design and typesetting team of New York’s Melcher Media.
‘They were able to give the exceptional attention to detail – the fading of the paper being different on every page, the variation in pressure of the individual pen scribbles, the library stamps… all of it, to make this book’s production so unprecedented,’ says Francis Bickmore, publishing director at Canongate, the book’s British publishers.
A printer in China ensured that all the ephemera was inserted between the pages of Ship Of Theseus to correspond with Jen and Eric’s story. Given the amount of work that has gone into it, the price of £28 in hardback (£12.72 on Amazon where it was already in the top 100 in books today) seems low.
So is S any good? I found the Ship Of Theseus pastiche impressive though ponderous but enjoyed the Eric and Jen storyline. This is no literary masterpiece but it is a book that you long to share with others, just as Abrams was urged to do with the airport novel that gave him the idea.
S is out now, published by Canongate.

As his ship passed by a lonely island, Odysseus heard beautiful voices singing a haunting melody. It was a melody that could lure even the most seasoned sailors to wreck their ships on the rocky shores, trapping them forever. Odysseus was warned about the dangers of the beautiful part-bird part-human Sirens and their magical song, but he was curious. Not wanting to be tempted away from his ship, he ordered his men to plug their ears with wax and tie him to the ship. The song pulled at Odysseus’s heartstrings, and he fought to free himself. He begged his men to untie him, but they stayed true to their word and kept him from losing himself to the Siren’s song.
Like many people in Uganda, Charles Watmon has difficulty living with the things he saw and did as a soldier. An unexpected friend now helps him shoulder the burden. That friend’s name is Ogen Rwot and she is a cute, friendly, caramel-colored dog. For a decade, Watmon fought on both sides of Uganda’s civil wars, first for the Lord’s Resistance Army, then for the Ugandan government. The experience was traumatic. To make matters worse, he learned that he was HIV positive toward the end of his time in the military, and soon lost his wife and his two children to AIDS. After the war ended, he suffered flashbacks and panic attacks. He even thought about suicide.
The people of Vietnam suffered through war from 1955 to 1975, but for one man, the war took much longer to end. Ho Van Thanh was a soldier for more than 15 years. One terrible day, a mine exploded and killed his wife and two of his sons and completely destroyed his home. In a panic, Thanh grabbed his two-year-old son, Ho Van Lang, and fled deep into the jungle where he planned to live until the war ended. Just two years later, the war did end, but Ho and his son had no way of hearing the news. The two of them ended up living in the jungle for more than forty years, believing that the war was still raging on.
Private Wojtek is hailed as a war hero in Poland, but the renowned soldier was neither Polish nor human. Wojtek was a brown bear who was dealt a poor hand as a cub. After hunters killed his mother, Wojtek wandered the world alone until he was found and adopted by a young boy.
Millions of Americans admired Sergeant Stubby. His courage under fire was legendary. He was a decorated hero of World War I. He also had four legs and barked a lot. You guessed it – Sergeant Stubby was a dog. The short brindle bull terrier mutt was the first dog ever given rank in the U.S. Army. His story is the stuff movies are made of.


Residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), may have to wait longer as their dream to enjoy the promised changes, now suffered setbacks Monday, following reports that the list of political appointees pending before the Presidency has been thrown out.
The President is the Governor-General of the FCT and by law, and all major political approvals for the FCT emanate from his office.
The FCT residents are currently bemoaning the low performances of the FCT administration under Malam Muhammad Musa Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since assumption of office six months ago without mandate secretaries [equivalent to state commissioners], to assist him man the smooth affairs of the territory.
This is coming at the peak of expectation from residents, as well as local politicians who mobilised their supporters to ensure victory for the now ruling APC in the last FCT area councils election, in which they were promised political considerations in the appointments by the power that be.
The low indices for good governance, is said to be traced to the absence of political appointees and other key aides needed for the smooth running of the territory in which the FCT Minister, Muhammad Musa Bello is yet to perfect more than half a year upon resuming office as minister.
Daily Times investigation in the six area councils that make up the FCT, reveals that public infrastructures like water supply, waste management, street lighting, parks and recreational services, public education, as well as public health and medical services are fast decaying as top echelons of the FCT civil service, saddled with the responsibility of supervising the agencies attributed lack of fund as the main reason.
Observers also traced the low performance indices to the absence of political will power to push the service into action, even as they await the release of fund from the just signed 2016 Budget by President Buhari.
Consumers of essential services also joined the crowd of residents in complaining the absence of functional markets, even as the costs of food stuff are on the increase. This, traders blamed the chains of supply and the cost of transportation in the territory.
The situation is worst as the organised labour unions perfect arrangement for a total shut down of the nation’s capital, Abuja, to push for the review of fuel pump price on Wednesday.
Though, most of them declined speaking with correspondent on tape, a few who spoke under anonymity said until the Single Treasury Account put in place by the new APC administration was reviewed, the absence of fund would continue to hamper on good governance.
A closed source confided to our correspondent Monday that: “You expect civil servants to take up brooms and start cleaning the parks for instance. You don’t expect us to pour water into the turbine in order to run the generators for our hospitals; you don’t expect our doctors, nurses, as well as their technicians to run tests for their patients with broken equipment” our source stated.
In the education sector, teachers now signed attendance by proxies as the increase in fuel pump price by the Federal Government has brought untold harsh to their dried purse, just as few days after payment of salaries.
Officials from the relevant FCT departments and agencies were reluctant to comment publicly on this. However, the Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Media, Alhaji Abubakar Sani, told newsmen recently that the FCT administration was aware of the need to have the mandate secretaries on ground, appealing for understanding of residents for better services.

UPDATED 2:18 PM PT – Wednesday, August 11, 2021
Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has officially ended speculation over a possible gubernatorial bid in Michigan. DeVos announced on Tuesday that she would not be running for governor, adding she never considered challenging Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
However, she went on to say the rumors and interests of people wanting her to run showed how desperate Michiganders are for new leadership.
“I am not running for governor. It’s not going to be me,” said DeVos. “I appreciate that some folks are interested in that, but I think the rumor and interest really only serves to highlight how desperate Michiganders are for new leadership.”
Meanwhile, Whitmer is facing several potential GOP challengers, including retired Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who is the latest candidate to launch their campaign.

The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference and other private school advocates contend that Gov. Tom Wolf has defied the will of the federal government with his plan to distribute federal pandemic relief funds primarily to public school districts.
It’s possible, however, that defiance of Congress occurred well before Wolf weighed in.
Pennsylvania received $523.8 million under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, better known as CARES. According to the conference, the Wolf administration has defied a formula devised by the U.S. Department of Education in distributing the money. It contends that nonpublic schools should receive $66 million but will get only $19 million through the state distribution. (Charter schools are public schools, and are included in the state’s public school distribution.)
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who long has advocated using public tax money for private and religious school tuition, included such provisions in the emergency relief distribution without any approval from Congress. She clearly is using the emergency to press a long-held agenda, especially since there is no doubt that the Democratic majority in the House — where the bill originated — did not intend for her to convert the money for that purpose.
Congress is working on a new relief package, and is likely to clarify several aspects of how relief funding may be spent, based on a wide range of problems with CARES Act funding. It should include clarification of the school issue in that process, and apply it to all of the emergency federal education spending.

Come Valentine’s day and its time to express love. :0 Not that we don’t do it all round the year, but it has to be something special on Vday. And the best thing about the day that it’s a Sunday! Yippee!!! DH is at home ;). He prepared a nice warm cup of tea in the morning to kick start the day. By lunch time we were in a fix whether to eat outside or at home. Had been planning for a movie for a very long time, but with most of the movies having a rating of NC16 we could not as DD is only 3.5 year old. So I thought I would whip up a quick yet delicious meal but at the same time it had to be special (because it’s the day of love!). And on such occasions in a typical Indian household if one can think of anything special, it has to be BIRYANI! 🙂
One of my personal favourites, a simple yet delicious biryani can touch anyone’s heart. And as the saying goes, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. So this had to be the bang on dish!
Fish biryani is the easiest of all forms of biryanis, as it is less time consuming yet delectable and highly pleasant to the taste buds. With myself hailing from the state of West Bengal and DH being a Goan, fish is a common source of protein for both of us and also helps in achieving instant gourmet gratification. The following recipe is mildly spiced, aromatic and delightful. I was glad my family sat down to a delicious lunch on the afternoon of Valentines day. Even DD enjoyed it to the core although she is not a die-hard fish fan 🙂
2 cups of long grained basmati rice
3 fillets of boneless fish (I used basa; however you could take any fish)
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Whole coriander seeds – 2 tbsps
Whole cumin seeds – 2 tbsps
Whole black pepper seeds – 1 tbsp
Dried red chillies – 2-3 (you could take more if you want it more spicy)
Kasoori methi powder – 1 tbsp
Cloves – 8-10
Green cardamom pods – 2-3
Garlic cloves – 7-8
Crushed ginger – ½ tbsp
Lime juice – half a lemon
Onions – 2 medium sized (thinly sliced)
Tomatoes – 1 large
Plain Yougurt – 3-4 heaping tbsps
Coconut cream – 2-3 tbsps
Salt – as per taste
Green chillies – 3-4 / as per taste
Marinade for fish:
Grind the whole coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper seeds, dried red chillies, green cardamom, 4-5 cloves and kasoori methi into a finely ground powder. Marinade the fish with the ground spice powder, lime juice and turmeric powder. Keep the fish marinated for 10-15mins.
For the rice:
In a pot put 3 cups of water for boil. Well salt the water. Put the rice, 4-5 cloves and 1 tbsp oil/ghee into the boiling water. When the rice is 50% cooked, drain water. Keep the rice aside.
For the fish:
Put 5-6 tbsp of oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, put in the sliced onions. Once the onions sweat and turn pink, put in the marinated fish. Let the fish cook for sometime then turn over. Be careful not to break the fish. Put in the chopped tomatoes. After 3-4mins, put in the yougurt , coconut cream, slit green chillies and salt. Very lightly give it a mix making sure the fish doesn’t break. Let the mixture cook till most of the liquid is absorebed and you can see few traces of oil floating.
Cooking the biryani in dum:
I usually use a rice cooker to give dum to my biryani. You can use any vessel for this. Put one layer of rice on to the base of rice cooker. Then put in the fish that you prepared earlier. Top it up with another layer of rice. Put some slit green chillies on top. Cover it up and cook it on dum for around 20-25 mins. Once it is done, turn off the gas. Let it stand for 10 more mins and then open the lid. Serve with sliced onions or raita.

Alternative R&B artist SZA just released her highly anticipated fourth album, entitled “CTRL.” This up-and-coming indie artist has reached a new milestone in her remarkable career. In a recent interview, SZA opened up a bit about her writing process. According to the agile singer, most of the lyrics on this record were essentially ad-libbed in the studio. SZA explained that although she writes plenty of lyrics down, she often finds that her improvised lyrics feel more honest, real and unguarded. For this album, SZA recruited several high-profile guests like Kendrick Lamar and Isaiah Rashad.
If SZA is able to capture the imagination of the public, she’ll be able to graduate from the status of indie R&B artist to the mainstream of the music world. It seems reasonable to assume that SZA hopes to establish a larger audience, just like any other artist. At the same time, members of the indie music sometimes lose some independence when they graduate to the next level of professional success. I hope that SZA can successfully balance her personal artistic needs with the demands of being the center of a commercial brand. While every artist needs albums sales and airplay for commercial viability, I hope that SZA is able to evolve as an artist without forgetting her roots.
SZA has a prodigious talent and I expect that this singer will accomplish many great things in the future. Over the course of her career so far, SZA has earned her place as a true auteur. Although she is technically classified as an R&B artist, there can be no doubt that SZA’s music intersects with several different genres. This is the kind of fluidity that defines the very best artists working in the indie music scene today. Arguably, SZA is well on her way towards creating a musical legacy that will stretch far into the future. Though no one can predict the future, I am fairly confident that SZA will continue to grow as an artist.

Forty-four years after the Allman Brothers Band released their first album, many things have changed. Two short years into their recording career, Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in Macon, Georgia. Duane seemed to be the heart of the Allman Brothers Band and remaining members – including brother Gregg – were in a daze for some time. That is, until Gregg said, “Let’s go play.”
Throughout the band’s career, there have been many lineup changes, but the one constant has been Allman’s soulful voice and his perfect touch on his Hammond B3 organ. It has become their sound. But that Duane Allman wicked slide guitar has been sorely missed. The void is almost completely filled by two legends: the veteran Warren Haynes and the child-prodigy-all-grown-up Derek Trucks. Both have stellar careers outside the ABB, but while in the band, they raise the bar to the highest standard.
As the show began, images of Duane flashed on the big screens on and near the stage while the band ripped into “Statesboro Blues.” It was an instant crowd pleaser. Another highpoint was a cover of the Beatles’ “Rain.” Allman sat stoically at the Hammond doing most of the singing. He did grab an acoustic guitar and stand at the mic to sing “Melissa.” For a late summer evening in Atlanta, the temps cooled down and there was even a breeze, which somehow made the music sound better.
While every member of the band was a tight and accomplished musician, not enough can be said for Haynes and Trucks. It was a guitar-driven evening in which the complexity and skill of these two gentlemen were awe-inspiring. It is well known that Trucks grew up a child prodigy and mirrored his playing style after the late, great Duane Allman. It’s as if Trucks is the reincarnation of Duane. He is a genuine and impeccable slide guitar master.
Towards the end of the show, Jimmy Herring and Tinsley Ellis both made their way onto the stage to do a little jamming for old time’s sake. Gregg Allman’s voice still sounds fresh and strong, while the rest of the band was sounding good enough for a Fillmore gig. Allman has had his ups and downs the past few years, but he still seems healthy and energetic enough to make incredible music. Here’s hoping that the rumors of him hanging it up next year for the Allman Brothers Band’s 45th reunion are untrue.

Vermont natives Grace Potter and the Nocturnals nearly burned the place down as they rocked Alpharetta. What an awesome complement to the Allman Brothers Band. Potter fit right in with the southern blues vibe, with pipes reminiscent of Janis Joplin. Terrific voice, incredible band, perfect opener.
She kicked off her set with the funky/bluesy “Medicine,” and it just got better from there, even treating the fans to a Gillian Welch cover of “Elvis Presley Blues.” Potter and the Nocturnals are touring in support of their latest album The Lion the Beast the Beat (Hollywood Records).
The group played an extensive set and had the crowd standing by the end. A perfect night would have been Potter singing onstage with the Allman Brothers Band. Maybe next time.

The parents of a 14-year-old girl who was killed by a pack of four deadly dogs 10 years ago have called for new legislative restrictions to stop the alarming increase in fatal attacks.
At a friend’s home on March 26, 2013, Jade Lomas-Anderson was attacked by two bull mastiffs and two Staffordshire terriers, who killed her.
At the time, it was only prohibited to keep a dangerous dog in a public location, but Shirley and Mike Anderson, Jade’s parents, sought to expand the rule to include private residences. According to The Sunday Mirror, they now want the bill “torn up and begun anew” because they claim it is not enough.
The present rule, according to Mrs. Anderson, 46, is a “huge disrespect” to her daughter’s memory, and she called each new dog assault on their family a “kick in the face.” Now, she said, “We are requesting a new independent Jade’s Law, which we are certain will save other families from suffering through what we have.”
The two advocate for stiffer penalties for owners of unruly pets, including longer prison terms and bans. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have also recommended that all dog owners be required to complete online training courses and register with the police.
They want to discuss legislation change with Theresa Coffey, the secretary of the environment.
The moment has come to acknowledge that things are breaking, according to Mr. Anderson. The pair said they want Jade’s Law to stand on its own and not be “lost in the antisocial behavior law” in honor of their daughter.
It follows the release of statistics by MailOnline in February identifying the regions of Britain that have had the highest number of deadly dog attacks in recent years. Since January 2020, there have been a total of 18 fatal dog attacks, with last year being the bloodiest on record.
During the last 12 months, 12 people, ranging in age from a 17-month-old child to an 83-year-old retiree, have died as a result of dog attacks in England and Wales. Experts have identified some alarming tendencies that may be to blame for the recent string of unsettling fatalities.
And just last week, shortly before 2.40 pm on Sunday, a six-year-old child was attacked by four dogs while playing with a friend in a nearby property in Carrington.
Mr. Anderson described the increase in dog assaults as a “spiraling plague.” He said, “We want justice for families.” We don’t want to outlaw canines. We have two dogs and adore them. When we see pets being abused, it hurts.
Yet he stressed that owners, not dogs, are “nearly usually” deadly. Mrs. Anderson talked about her daughter, claiming that she would assist anybody in need and that “if she were here,” she would have been working to bring about change.
In 2013, Jade and her closest friend Kimberly were kicking off their Easter vacation. Their meal was about to be served when Jade was viciously attacked by one of Kimberly’s mother’s pet dogs. The dogs attacked Jade as she brought a pie into her friend’s kitchen, killing her instantly.

What is This Section?
The Zone Groups screen is where you can group zones for specific timeframes. This allows you to easily manage and dispatch drivers across multiple zones with similar characteristics or geographical proximity.
How Does It Work?
You create a 'Zone Group' to form a collective of zones, which functions and behaves as one zone with a unified driver queue.
By creating groups, for example, 'City Centre North', 'City Centre East', 'City Centre South', and 'City Centre West' the system searches for available drivers in all these zones when a booking is made in any of the grouped zones, which can lead to quicker response times.
To access this screen:
- Click on Zone Groups from the Dispatch > Zones dropdown menu.
Live Mode & Draft Mode
There are two different modes you can switch to and from.
In Live mode, you can view the live configuration of your zone groups. Any changes you make while in this mode are automatically published to your live system.
In Draft mode, you can view and edit your zone group configuration as a draft, and then apply this draft to live.
Once in Draft mode, you can create a new draft of your current configuration.
Note: When you create a new draft, the current draft will be overridden and any changes made will apply to all zone areas. (e.g. Zone Maker, Zone List...)
Once you are happy with your current draft, you can select the Apply Draft to Live button, replacing your live zone groups configuration with the latest draft configuration.
Creating a Zone Group
To add a new zone group:

You must toggle on this setting to enable for this zone group to be active on your system.
- Name: Enter a unique name for the group.
- Zones: Select which zones to group together. Going forward, during the schedule configured, the zones in this group will only have one driver queue.
Schedule: Configure the schedule for when this group will be active.
- Every Day: The group is active every day at the time schedule set.
- Weekly: Set the zone group to be active weekly at the time schedule set, use the During setting to set which days of the week to apply.
- Monthly: Here you can set whether the zone group is active on a particular day of the month (e.g. every 3rd of the month) or day in the month (e.g. active on the third Tuesday of every month). The time schedule will also determine when your zone group is active every month.
Yearly: Set your zone group schedule to yearly, allowing you to choose the options of From, On and During.
- From: Select a date range (DD/MM/YYYY) of where your zone group will be active.
- On: Select a specific day in a month when the group is active (e.g. on the fourth Friday in July).
- During: Select a month or multiple where your zone group is active during the year.
- Once: Select a date range where the zones group will apply, and then never reoccur upon reaching the end date.
- Time Schedule: Configure the exact time and day for when this group will be active. Select Midnight to Midnight for your group to be active all day. Use the Daily Time Range option to select a specific time between when the group will be active.

Is friendship drama causing major emotional distress for your teenage daughter?
Welcome back to the Cultivating Resilient Teens podcast where we’ve talked a lot about how teenage girls are passionate problem solvers.
But, as you know, there’s another side to the coin.
So, we’re going to bravely and compassionately explore what the other side looks and feels like because if your daughter feels emotionally wounded or is utterly confused and in tears by her friend’s behavior, we want to help you through this.
It’s not unusual for my clients to talk about increased friend drama this time of year, as Springtime seems to invite a sense of newness, adventure and increased opportunities to socialize outside of school and home.
And unfortunately, shifting friend groups can cause uncertainty and drama.
Sometimes to the point where parents step away from work and clients stay home, even when they don’t want to, because they’re in rough, unchartered territory, like:
- ghosting them for unknown reasons
- saying unkind or disrespectful things
- dissing their choices or choices they’ve made
- dropping them from the friend group without explanation
Situations like these often cause teenage girls to be really hard on themselves, so in podcast Episode #18 2 Key Elements Your Daughter Needs to Design Healthy Social Scenarios we tackle a topic that’s sometimes overwhelming and painful for teenage girls – how to build authentic, fun and healthy friendships.
Podcast Episode #18 is part 3 of my 4-part series, based off my Signature Coaching System, 4 Steps to Cultivate a Resilient Teen, so you may want to go back and listen when you’re finished with this episode.
Because as Dr. Christine Carter shares in her book, The New Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction, “Connection is the most important predictor of happiness that we have. It’s the most consistent finding that we have in a hundred or so years of research. Our overall wellbeing is predicted by both the breadth and depth of our real-life connections.”
2 Key Ingredients
And, because it’s important for me to be transparent AND remind you that tough, humble situations can also offer deep personal opportunities to grow – when you’re ready – I want to share a quick story with you.
Once upon a time I was asked to talk to a group of teens about the importance of creating a more cohesive group environment because, as Dr. Carter’s research shows, authentic connections help everyone thrive.
But I mistakenly assumed that because the coaches desired a more cohesive environment, the athletes did too.
Needless to say, it didn’t matter how well constructed my message was, there were two key ingredients missing:
So, before you guide your daughter through the tumultuous teen-girl-friendship-waters, pause and ask yourself:
- Is she ready to look at all the angles and problem solve?
- How can you create a safe and trusting environment for her to share her vulnerable story with you?
Sometimes, the “meltdown” is already in progress (so to speak) and you need to let her fall apart and then, when she’s calm and clear, reflect on what’s happening.
Develop a Strong Sense of Self
If she’s not ready, hold a space for her to feel loved, just as she is.
And then, when she’s ready, acknowledge that no matter how out of control her situation may feel, she is not powerless.
In any given social situation, your daughter has the opportunity to develop a strong sense of self.
Podcast Episode #16 Does Your Teenage Daughter Need a Strong Sense of Self to be Successful in Life? is a fan favorite, probably because building a solid personal foundation allows your daughter to recognize how she:
- sees herself
- what she thinks about herself
- and how she talks to and about herself
And how your daughter THINKS, how she uses her mind, is truly her greatest superpower.
As renowned brain coach, Jim Kwik reminds us, “These times can define us, diminish us, or develop us.”
So, let’s help your daughter see where she can effectively use her superpower to gain a sense of control and build her resilience.
My private coaching clients and I often talk about HOW to talk to your friends, because, as you might imagine, words matter.
Sometimes my clients tell me that they can “influence” how their friends think, feel and react.
And perhaps there’s some truth to that.
However, trying to influence a friend’s thoughts and feelings is risky business.
Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say
What’s important is to learn how to effectively say what you mean and mean what you say.
There are essentially four styles of communication:
Simply stated, the assertive style of communication “allows a person to communicate her feelings honestly, directly, and openly when appropriate. It lets you set limits with others about what is and what isn’t okay with you, and to discuss what you need in order to get along. You can ask for what you want and need without compromising the rights of others. People know who you are, what you think and feel, and what you need to form healthy relationships.”
As you might imagine, learning how to be a confident, assertive communicator is a life skill that must be learned and practiced regularly.
But, oh, it’s worth it because it comes in handy in so many social situations.
So, if your daughter is experiencing friendship drama that’s causing emotional distress, now may be a good time to develop a strong sense of self and build her resilience by becoming an assertive communicator.
If you’re ready for tips specifically tailored to help your daughter, go ahead and Book a Strategy Session
Just head over to my website, cultivatingresilientteens.com and together we’ll get clear on what you need and find strategies that’ll work.
Okay my friends, here’s wishing you a beautiful week and a very happy Easter, if you celebrate that holiday with your family.
I look forward to connecting with you next week.

Hello Forum Members,
I have a capital gains tax query for a property sold recently in Kerala. A commercial property was sold with 3 joint owners(all related family members). The buyer provided 2 cheques as payments, split with different amounts in the name of 2 owners only. For capital gains tax calculation(my understanding is 20% flat), would it be viewed by the income tax department as-
a) Each of the 3 owners received equal amounts irrespective of actual amounts received(due to equal 3rd ownership each) and pay capital gains tax accordingly
b) Individual tax liability based on actual amounts received by each individual. For eg Owner 3 received nothing for the sale and hence has 0 CGT liability.
Hopefully a qualified individual is able provide proper tax advice. Thanks in advance.
