New voting maps, city financials, police-chief hiring among items on Barstow Council agenda
Barstow’s elected council will consider numerous substantial items at its first public meeting in more than a month Monday, including a new police chief, tax-dollar expenses tied to the mayor, and a new map that will guide the next decade of city elections.
Monday evening marks the first public meeting the City Council has held since Jan. 3 due to a shutdown of city offices and business that Barstow instituted Jan. 10-18, citing the spread of COVID-19, with the final day marking what would have been the council’s second public meeting of the new year.
In turn, an agenda spanning more than 600 pages covers a slew of presentations and votes that members of the public can expect to offer input on Monday.
The meeting is set to open to the public in City Hall at 7 p.m. Monday, or anytime after the adjournment of a closed session between the City Council and Barstow’s lawyers, according to the agenda packet made public by the city last Thursday evening.
(The confidential session begins at 6 p.m. and focuses on three ongoing lawsuits that allege illegal conduct by Mayor Paul Courtney and other city personnel: One filed by former Mayor Nikki Salas last April; another filed in June by former Assistant City Manager Cindy Prothro; and a third filed in September by former Economic Development Administrator Amanda Hernandez)
A new voting map
The City Council will hold its third of four legally-required public hearings in the process of redistricting or drawing new lines to define which district each Barstow voter will cast their ballots in for the next decade.
California elections law requires all cities to adopt new boundaries for the voting districts within their city limits after releasing a new U.S. Census, which occurs once per decade. The most recent population count came out late last year, showing a 12.3% rise in the Barstow population since 2010 to about 25,415 residents.
The purpose is to make each electoral district “substantially equal in population” under constitutional and voting-rights laws, the agenda states, including by respecting the “integrity of local neighborhoods or communities” without “favoring or discriminating against a political party or incumbent (City Council member).”
Barstow’s current electoral map contains four districts. The City Council comprises four district council members and one mayor elected “at-large.”
This means a citywide count of votes elects the mayor while voters elect the council’s four other members within each district drawn across the city. Aside from some ceremonial powers, the mayor has designated essentially the same role as any other City Council member in terms of policymaking and deal-striking, and separate powers exist for employees who are hired in city management and staff.
The meeting Monday evening is “intended to focus on presenting four draft maps for the public and Council to consider, provide input and narrow down to a final map for adoption,” according to the agenda.
Barstow last year approved a contract for private assistance in the redistricting process with Redistricting Insights L.L.C., a consulting firm based in the Sacramento area. The four proposed maps to be presented Monday mark some of the contract results.
One proposed map defines much of the western portion of Barstow as District 1, currently the seat of Councilman Tim Silva — who won’t run for reelection this year — and much of the eastern portion as District 2, now the seat of Mayor Pro Tem James Noble. In this scenario, districts 3 (Councilwoman Barbara Rose) and 4 (Councilwoman Marilyn Dyer-Kruse) would occupy dense pockets in the heart of the city.
Another proposed map sets up a similar district split, but with District 4 occupying much of the eastern portion and District 1 taking one of the dense pockets in the center of Barstow. In a different proposal, District 1 would occupy both the eastern and western regions of the city lower in population density.
After the council discusses and solicits public input on the four proposed district maps Monday evening, it plans to hold its last public hearing to adopt a final map at the council’s next public meeting on Feb. 22.
The agenda also notes that Barstow may place a referendum on the 2022 ballot in which voters could decide to eliminate the position of an at-large mayor and create a fifth electoral district in Barstow. However, this decision can only be considered after the current redistricting process is complete.
A new police chief
The City Council will also consider approving a contract for a new official police chief, Andrew Espinoza Jr., who took over the role on an interim basis last October following the retirement of longtime Barstow Police Chief Albert Ramirez.
Espinoza held the role of captain at BPD for more than five years before his current job as interim chief.
He began his law-enforcement career with the Barstow department in 1999, according to the agenda, which cites his past roles as ranging from patrol officer to commander of special-response and administrative divisions.
Espinoza holds an associate’s degree in social science from Barstow Community College, a bachelor’s in criminal justice from Chapman University, and a master’s in public administration from California State University-Long Beach.
The contract to be considered Monday evening would make Espinoza official chief of Barstow Police for the next four years, with a termination date of Feb. 7, 2026.
Espinoza’s salary under the deal would begin at more than $187,000 per year, plus an “education pay” bonus each month (based on his master’s degree) of 3%, or about $5,630. He will receive annual increases to his salary based on cost-of-living rates, as is standard for employees in the Barstow Police union.
According to the proposed agreement, Espinoza would receive a 2.5% raise upon earning an executive management certificate after two years as police chief.
Espinoza has received support from some Barstow residents, including critics who accuse the mayor of seeking improper influence in the department after he and Councilwoman Rose hosted a town hall late last December to discuss local policing with the public.
The department has also faced controversy during its few months under Espinoza’s interim leadership, though, including a scuffle between Barstow officers and local wedding party attendants last month, which one witness captured on tape that T.M.Z first reported.
A Barstow man and fellow civilians involved in the chaotic scene have since filed suit against the city, seeking more than $2 million and alleging they were injured from excessive force by police.
Scrutinizing mayor-tied expenses
The final item on the City Council’s agenda Monday marks one of many issues on which the four district councilmembers and public critics have pressed Mayor Courtney in recent months.
The City Council will scrutinize two taxpayer-reimbursement claims filed to the city last year with a close connection to the mayor:
- A $1,065 expense report Courtney filed for gas in his vehicle on various drives he attributed to City Council business between March and September.
- A $110 invoice from P.A.C.E. Services Corp. — the janitorial business Courtney has been chief executive, chief financial officer, and a director for years — to “clean and sanitize holding cell @ Barstow Police Department” on July 5.
These expense reports were included among a long list of line items at a meeting last year that the City Council approves as standard practice. Councilmembers Rose, and Silva pulled the items with a motion and second that they be reconsidered at a future meeting.
A primary issue Rose took with the vehicle-related requests is that Courtney requested them on Oct. 29, more than a month after he made the drives in question. She and other councilmembers have questioned if a 30-day provision in the municipal code negates the city’s ability to reimburse Courtney for drives that occur later and have raised separate concerns about city officials using personal vehicles to conduct city business.
The P.A.C.E. Services reimbursement is also being questioned based on this 30-day provision. Additionally, the expense ties into public criticism and allegations in lawsuits that the mayor has sought undue influence with the city police department.
The meeting Monday may run late, as was often the case in 2021, the inaugural year of service for Mayor Courtney and councilwomen Rose and Dyer-Kruse. Barstow law states that the City Council must pass a specific motion to continue a meeting past 11 p.m. if additional time is needed to run through a full agenda, which may be necessary for the mayor’s reimbursements to be considered.

Hill was charged with assault and forcible touching for a Monday incident: Police say that he followed a 27-year-old woman walking on East 74th Street between First and York Avenues before stuffing a bag of feces down her shorts. The attack was caught on surveillance video:
Then the authorities noted that a 33-year-old woman was smeared in the face and torso by a man on East 91st Street.
The Daily News reports, "Cops nabbed [Hill] at a Brooklyn homeless shelter Thursday night after a block-by-block search near the crime scenes failed to flush out the mad pooper. A tip from a security guard led officers to the Myrtle Ave. Men’s Shelter in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where Hill was munching away on his dinner, sources said."
After he was shown footage of the attacks, Hill allegedly admitted to police, "That's me." Further, police apparently found latex gloves and a shirt matching the one the suspect was wearing at his shelter locker.
While walking from the police precinct, Hill mentioned Louis Farrakhan, "It's a Farrakhan. Sometimes they bring you here, they enlighten you. What they do to you, they try to turn you into a slave on Earth."
Hill, who is being held on $90,000 bail, has 21 prior arrests, but no record of psychological incidents. A homeless shelter resident told the News, "He’s really borderline delirious — bad body odor, talks to himself, keeps to himself. Those feces he threw was probably his own. He’s an outcast type of dude."
NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce called the victims, who helped ID Hill, "Tough ladies. Right now they’re doing fine. Obviously the ghastliness of the crime has upset them."

SOLD (GP) PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT PURCHASE!
(NEW) Sometimes it's easy to take the finish on a fine guitar for granted. We accept that the builder knows what they're doing, that the finish is applied at the right thickness and will arrive at our shop free of flaws. Indeed, this is a given with Collings guitars.
But what has become clear over the last few years is that there are many reasons, both practical and aesthetic, to offer different options for a guitar's finish. As far as looks, the satin finish that is available on Collings' Traditional line of guitars reminds us of the thinned out, low-sheen look of a vintage guitar... but of course, free of the finish checks, scratches and dings that come with age. Practically, it's a super-thin finish, and allows the wood to vibrate more freely, to "breathe" if you will. Also practically speaking, some players' skin chemistry just doesn't jive with a gloss finish. To some players, gloss feels sticky, and especially on the neck prevents the free movement of the hands. For those players, a smooth satin finish is just the ticket.
So here we have a D2H Traditional with that smooth, silky, 600-thread-count satin finish, and it really couldn't be better. Perfect, tight grained Sitka top, almost looks like a 1-piece top thanks to the perfect quartering and with not a touch of run-out. Indian rosewood back and sides bring that warm, deep sound that dreadnought fans have swooned over for decades. 1 11/16" nut on the Traditional modified V neck profile. Drop in saddle. "2" style traditional appointments include herringbone top trim, 3-ring rosette, ivoroid binding and zipper back strip. Tuners are relic'd Waverly. Includes TKL hard case.
You've tried the rest, now try the best... Collings' Traditional models offer a warmer sounding alternative to their powerful modern interpretation of the dreadnought. You will be impressed.

Mumbai, Jan 14 (IANS) The Bollywood spy flick gets more ambitious this year, with a couple of top superstars signing up roles in the genre. Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut and Sidharth Malhotra will give the Bollywood spy thriller new-age twist on big screen, even as Manoj Bajpayee continues with his escapades in the OTT space with The Family Man 2.
While the Hollywood hangover is still evident on Hindi espionage thrillers when it comes to form and execution, the new-age Bollywood spy banks heavily on pop patriotism for his mojo when it comes to content.
IANS lists some of the most awaited films in the genre.
This Akshay Kumar-starrer is inspired by true events. Set in the 1980s, Bell Bottom was one of the earliest Bollywood films to go on floors after the Covid-induced lockdown. Leaked photos from the sets went viral on social media during its shoot in Glasgow, Scotland, in September and fans were gushing about Akshay's dapper retro look. The Ranjit M. Tewari directorial also stars Vaani Kapoor, Lara Dutta Bhupathi and Huma Qureshi. It is scheduled to release on April 2.
Kangana Ranaut recently announced on social media that her forthcoming film Dhaakad will be a "world class spy thriller". The actress is currently shooting for the Razneesh Ghai directorial in Bhopal, which will show her in the avatar of a spy. The film is being shot by award-winning international cinematographer Tetsuo Nagata.
The Family Man season 2
Manoj Bajpayee reprises his role as NIA agent Srikant Tiwari in the much-awaited second season of the superhit web series, The Family Man. Created, directed and produced by Raj and DK, The Family Man 2 also stars Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, and Sharad Kelkar, while South star Samantha Akkineni joins the cast in the new season. It releases on February 12.
The Sidharth Malhotra-starrer espionage thriller draws from real life events, and marks the Bollywood debut of South actress Rashmika Mandanna. The film written by Parveez Shaikh, Aseem Arrora and Sumit Batheja narrates the story of India's mission in Pakistan in the 1970s. The Shantanu Bagchi directorial, which casts Sidharth as a RAW agent, has just begun shooting in Mumbai.
New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS) The six shut schemes of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund have received cash flows of Rs 13,789 crore since winding up in April, 2020 till January 15, 2021.
According to the fund house during January 1-15, these schemes received Rs 669 crore, of which Rs 617 crore was as pre-payments.
Further, the cash available as of January 15, 2021 stands at Rs 9,190 crore for the five cash positive schemes, subject to fund running expenses.
Individually, Franklin India Low Duration Fund, Franklin India Ultra Short Bond Fund, Dynamic Accrual Fund, Credit Risk Fund and Short Term Income Plan have 63 per cent, 50 per cent, 41 per cent, 26 per cent and nine per cent of their respective assets under management in cash, Franklin Templeton said in a statement.
Borrowing levels in Franklin India Income Opportunities Fund continue to come down steadily and currently stands at six per cent of AUM, it said.

Jyrki Raina writes about the project
to create the first trans-Atlantic union
Helsinki (18.06.2007 Juhani Artto)
Two months ago the United Steelworkers (USW) from the USA and two unions from the United
Kingdom, Amicus and T&GWU, announced their intention to merge into the first
trans-Atlantic trade union.
Certainly, the first reaction of numerous
union activists around the world, when reading the news, was to think about how the merger
project relates to the efforts to strengthen the global unions, such as IMF, UNI, ITF, PSI
and a handful of others.
Recently Jyrki Raina, one of the most
visible Finns in the international trade union movement, approached the same question in
his column in Ahjo, the magazine of the Finnish Metalworkers union.
The reasons (for the project),
presented by Amicus and USW leaders, are interesting. They want to create an international
trade union that really would be able to negotiate on working conditions, by virtue of
their 3.4 million rank and file members, on an equal footing with the
The goal also is to prevent employees from
competing against each other, Raina explained to his readers. In addition, Amicus and USW
plan to work together in development projects in Columbia, Africa, India and China, he
And Raina reported that among the leaders
of the International Metalworkers Federation the trans-Atlantic merger project has
caused fears. What will be the fate of the global federation, especially when Amicus and
USW believe that other unions will join the merger project, several IMF leaders have
According to Raina representatives of
Amicus and USW have assured that they do not plan to create an international organisation
that would compete with the metalworkers IMF.
At the end of his column Raina envisages
that perhaps the merger project the crazy dream will push others
to think about how, in the 21st century, labour from all countries can really unite all

Depicts the figure of a battalion cook, his pipe in his mouth, leaning in the doorway of a kitchen. Dyson had a "fascination with eccentric A.I.F. cooks" and greatly admired the AIF support units who strove to provide the infantry with basic comforts, such as food. Of AIF cooks, Dyson noted that he suspected that "Australian units select their cooks not on their ability as chefs but for the stories that can be told about them to other units". He also described the cooks as: "He often has, or had, a son or two in the line who probably left Australia criminally young to prove themselves men as the old man left to prove himself one of the boys". This portrait of the cook was also popular with General Blamey, who believed it to be the "nearest example to the perfect picture of the Australian digger".
Will Dyson was the first Australian official war artist to visit the front during the First World War, travelling to France in December 1916, remaining there until May 1917, making records of the Australian involvement in the war. He was formally appointed as an official war artist, attached to the AIF, in May 1917, working in France and London throughout the war. His commission was terminated in March 1920.

The Benefits of SD-WAN vs MPLS
SD-WAN Delivers Superior Performance and Scalability Over Traditional Architectures
Businesses today rely on network connectivity more than ever. With increased adoption of cloud services for everything from email to payroll applications and even VOIP phone systems, businesses need a reliable, fast network to function efficiently. Traditional network architectures including Metro Ethernet, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and VPN tunnels over the Internet can be expensive and difficult to build and maintain. One option businesses are increasingly adopting for their wide area networking needs are software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs), which are cost-effective, fast, scalable, and reliable.
Why SD-WAN is Faster and more Cost Efficient than MPLS
SD-WANs are an innovative solution for meeting networking needs in the cloud era. By applying virtualization over WAN connections to connect enterprise networks, branch offices, and data centers, SD-WANs improve on quality of service, latency, and load issues challenging traditional WAN architectures, including MPLS.
They do so through proactive routing and traffic optimization, combining multiple connections (including MPLS, broadband, frame relay, LTE Wireless, VPNs) to choose the most reliable, cost-effective pathway for each connection. By implementing a flexible approach to wide area connectivity, SD-WAN delivers 5 key benefits versus MPLS: cost effectiveness, resiliency, ease-of-use, visibility, and security.
Cost-Effectiveness – SD-WAN is more affordable than traditional WAN deployments
Through smart routing over multiple connections, SD-WAN can choose to route less sensitive, lower priority data over cheaper public lines, while routing business-critical or sensitive data over more dependable private connections. In addition, SD-WAN requires less infrastructure to support, replacing multiple devices (firewalls, routers and WAN path controllers and optimizers) with a single virtual system. Firewall capabilities are usually built into SD-WAN, increasing return on investment by relieving businesses of the need to purchase and maintain dedicated firewalls. Some estimates claim that SD-WAN can be as much as a third of the cost of traditional deployments.
Internet Service Providers often charge a premium for the high-speed connections needed to support modern business operations – especially at rural office sites. Using SD-WAN, businesses can purchase multiple, more affordable connections and bundle them together using an SD-WAN program.
Resiliency – SD-WAN provides multiple failover links to support critical needs
The software defined networking that supports SD-WAN allows for flexibility and resiliency for distributed architectures. By intelligently routing traffic (instead of being solely dependent on a single MPLS or IP tunnel), the SD-WAN connection can dynamically route traffic if one link fails. Businesses using SD-WAN might have two, three or more Internet connections supporting each site, and are able to dynamically route between them in the event of a failure. This is especially important for businesses moving to the cloud. SD-WAN provides reliability and backup connectivity to business-critical cloud applications should any one link experience issues.
Ease-of-Use – SD-WAN is simple and easy to scale, configure and maintain
Traditional WAN architectures require a substantial infrastructure to support them. This means businesses must maintain some combination of firewalls, routers, WAN path controllers and optimizers to support their site-to-site connectivity.
Through an SD-WAN implementation, businesses can streamline the solution to a software management console that is easy to manage and scale. With one system to manage that combines the functionality of multiple legacy systems, businesses are relieved of maintenance and management tasks. SD-WAN offerings are even able to utilize a cloud configuration to perform automatic configuration including downloading policy, cryptographic certificates and keys, and the automation of traffic pattern mapping.
While traditional WAN implementations require manual configurations and an on-site technician to manage them, SD-WAN can be managed centrally through a GUI. For example, with MPLS, a teleconferencing or VOIP set-up might require configuration to predefine bandwidth allocations to support the connectivity requirements of that system. Using an SD-WAN, businesses are able to easily support new technologies like VOIP automatically, without any extensive manual configuration needs or on-site support.
Visibility – SD-WAN provides one window into network activity
Another benefit of the all-in-one box set-up is the visibility it provides. Firewall and router set-ups that support legacy WAN implementations can be difficult to parse or not provide much detail on the traffic they are routing. SD-WANs typically provide granular visibility into the entire network, from one system.
In addition, unlike MPLS, SD-WAN allows organizations to leverage a variety of service providers to allow for growth, relocation, and resiliency with multiple points of failure. Many MPLS vendors do not offer seamless failover when there is an issue either, the SD-WAN not only provides improved visibility to traffic and seamless routing, but also improved uptime.
Security – SD-WAN can add an additional layer of security to WAN architectures
Security can be a risk with traditional WAN implementations like MPLS. MPLS lacks built-in data protection, and misconfigurations can expose networks to vulnerability and external attackers. The complexity of larger MPLS implementations makes centralized security policy management difficult.
Businesses moving to SD-WAN have an opportunity to partner with a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) to secure their network. In one recent example, as described in this press release SD-WAN provider Expereo has partnered with MSSP SecureOps to offer a secured SD-WAN solution to the market. Their new implementation adds core security offerings that include:
- Security infrastructure management – monitoring for security information and event management (SIEM), firewall, intrusion defense and prevention, and universal threat managers that can be built on SD-WAN gateways
- Threat monitoring and response – dedicated full time event triage and incident handling, built on SD-WAN monitoring technologies
- Vulnerability lifecycle management – SecureOps provides proactive scanning and analysis of infrastructure and provides vulnerability management, including assessment and remediation of findings
By building security into SD-WAN from the beginning, businesses can eliminate security gaps in a cost-effective manner. The bundled approach to WAN and security needs added through an MSSP like SecureOps enables businesses to build specialized security solutions tailored to their needs. The ease of integrating SD-WAN into security MSSP offerings is another key driver for businesses to adopt this new wide area network architecture.
How to Implement SD-WAN
SD-WAN implementations are increasing in demand across a variety of industries, however installation and security have been hurdles for some organizations. However, finding the right partner to assist in installation and set-up can make the process seamless even for the largest and most complex organizations.
Implementation is as simple as two steps:
- Vendor Selection and Procurement – SD-WAN technology is sold either as a software solution that runs on commodity infrastructure, or as a software/hardware appliance combination. Traditional vendors like Cisco and HP have brought products to market, along with those from WAN optimization specialist and pure-play SD-WAN startups. Businesses can select from a variety of vendors, however the integration of technology, services and security that the best-of-breed partnerships offer removes risk and improves ROI.
- Installation and Configuration – initial configuration of SD-WAN appliances or software is simple and quick. Once the software is installed or the appliance is connected to the network, most solutions offer a GUI administration portal and are able to automatically discover available connections and begin intelligent routing and path selection. Cloud support is included with most implementations and host automated configurations are necessary for initial setup; enabling SD-WAN to automatically start learning traffic patterns without significant manual configuration.
Gartner estimates that SD-WAN is still in the early marketing and currently has 5% market share, however predicts that up to 25% of organizations will migrate to an SD-WAN solution in the next two years. The technology supporting SD-WAN is not new – MPLS, VPN tunnels, LTE cellular connections have been around for years. However, SD-WAN bundles these legacy technologies and automates their management and connectivity to create an architecture that performs more optimally than the sum of its parts, thus, increasing resiliency and cost savings while adding centralized, automated management and path selection.

Anthrax is a bacterial disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. It primarily affects herbivorous mammals, although other mammals and some birds have been known to contract it. Humans generally acquire the disease from infected animals or as a result of occupational exposure to contaminated animal products.
Anthrax commonly infects wild and domesticated herbivorous mammals that ingest or inhale the spores while grazing. Ingestion is thought to be the most common route by which herbivores contract anthrax. Carnivores living in the same environment may become infected by consuming infected animals. Diseased animals can spread anthrax to humans, either by direct contact (e.g., inoculation of infected blood to broken skin) or by consumption of a diseased animal's flesh.
There are three types of anthrax in humans: cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and pulmonary. The vast majority of cases are cutaneous, caused by anthrax spores infecting a cut or abrasion. Anthrax does not spread directly from one infected animal or person to another; it is spread by spores. These spores can be transported by clothing or shoes.
The body of an animal that had active anthrax at the time of death can also be a source of anthrax sporesEffective decontamination of articles can be accomplished by boiling them in water for 30 minutes or longer. Chlorine bleach is ineffective in destroying spores and vegetative cells on surfaces, though formaldehyde is effective. Burning clothing is very effective in destroying spores. After decontamination, there is no need to immunise treat, or isolate contacts of persons ill with anthrax unless they were also exposed to the same source of infection and can be treated with antibiotics.

Lee Hall’s Spoonface Steinberg, directed by Kate Rowland on Radio Four on 22 January 1997, will be heard at the British Library at 6.00pm on 3 December 2015 as the fifth in a five-part series of public listenings on the theme of ‘Inner Voices…Inner Worlds’.
Professor Hugh Chignell of Bournemouth University offers some background to this work:
‘I love the beautiful women who do the operas, and how they sing’ (Spoonface in Spoonface Steinberg)
Spoonface Steinberg is one of the most well-known and acclaimed radio dramas of recent years. The scriptwriter Lee Hall (Billy Elliot, War Horse) is a highly successful multi-media writer with an interest in radio, the stage and film. The director Kate Rowland created the BBC Writersroom in the year following the 1997 broadcast of Spoonface.
The drama consists of a narrative spoken by a seven-year-old girl who is described in the sleeve notes for the BBC Radio Collection audiocassette as being:
Jewish, autistic, very bright – and terminally ill with cancer. Her doctor introduces her to opera and she becomes fascinated with the music and the divas who have glorious stage deaths. As she tried to come to terms with the meaning of life and death the big question for Spoonface is, does nothing exist?
Themes addressed include terminal illness, a child’s view of parental separation and the holocaust. To add yet more power to the drama we hear Maria Callas’s performance of ‘Vissi d’arte’ from Puccini’s Tosca.
Spoonface Steinberg became something of an artistic phenomenon: almost immediately repeated on Radio Four, it was then sold very successfully as an audiocassette. The script was published in a radio drama collection and Spoonface Steinberg transferred successfully to the stage and, to date, there have been at least five different stage productions as well as a television adaptation in 1998.
Despite the great acclaim for this programme, Spoonface Steinberg has the potential to divide audience opinion. In the public discussion to follow this last listening event in the series, it will be interesting to see what our audience thinks of Lee Hall’s representation of a dying child. Comparisons can be drawn with our first listening event, Beckett’s All That Fall, as both works combine dark themes with humour and both make use of classical music. Similarly obvious similarities exist with Walk Right by Me – both monologues, both explorations of our central themes of inner voices and inner worlds.

Superb Zanotti finish seals win as Willett wilts on final day
Paraguay's Fabrizio Zanotti produced a sensational finish to win the Maybank Championship as Danny Willett missed out on a first victory since last year's Masters.
Zanotti, whose previous European Tour title came in 2014, eagled the 18th in a flawless closing 63 at Saujana Country Club to finish 19-under par, a shot ahead of American David Lipsky.
Austria's Bernd Wiesberger, who was part of a three-way tie for the lead after a birdie on the 17th, finished third on 17-under, with France's Alexander Levy another shot back.
Cork's Niall Turner finished well down the field after a four-over par round of 76, while Paul Dunne failed to make the weekend.
Willett took a three-shot lead into the final round but could only manage a closing 73 to finish in a tie for fifth with China's Li Haotong, who carded seven birdies in an error-free 65. Zanotti began the day six shots off the lead and, despite five birdies in his first 13 holes, was still three behind Lipsky with four holes to play.
However, the 33-year-old - who had missed the cut in all three of his previous events in 2017 - then birdied the 15th and 17th before hitting a superb three-iron approach into the last and holing from 10 feet.
Lipsky, who had followed four birdies in a row from the 10th with a bogey on the 14th, needed to birdie the final two holes to force a play-off and although he picked up a shot on the 17th, he was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker on the last.
"I think it was probably the best round of my career," Zanotti said. "It was a really good day, a really good week and I'm really happy. To shoot nine-under on the last day to win a tournament is incredible. I have been working a lot with my coach and with my team and I've been making some changes."
Willett's overnight lead was wiped out in the space of nine holes, the world number 15 playing the first eight holes in one-under par before making a bogey on the ninth after his tee shot finished behind a tree.
"Not what I worked for that today," Willett wrote on Twitter. "Shows signs of improvement still."
On the US PGA Tour Jordan Spieth won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on 19-under par after a final round of two-under par 70, while Shane Lowry was reflecting on a solid weekend's work.
The Offaly man finished inside the top 20, his final round of two-under-par 70 giving him a seven-under final total.
There were encouraging signs too for Waterford's Seamus Power who also made the cut at the celebrity event and finished on four-under after a closing 71 which left him safely inside the top 40.
Pádraig Harrington missed the three-round cut on three-over par.

De-silting a lake or pond is tiresome, messy, difficult work and is rarely accomplished with ease. De-silting work varies greatly depending on factors as diverse as water removal, type of silt (organic or inorganic), the concentration of the silt, where the silt can be disposed of, the bed of the lake or pond that currently exists, if there are fish or other types of wildlife to remove or relocate and many other issues too numerous to mention.
Here are the main methods of silt removal from lakes, ponds and rivers:-
Dredging is the term generally used for the removal of silt from a water course involving the mobilisation of excavation plant and equipment. This system of removal is usually completed by either removing the water from the watercourse in order to create a terrestrial environment or by using specialised aquatic dredging machinery with modified tracks or floating pontoons. Mechanical dredging can be carried out using excavators with standard arms and long reach arms, barges and dragline excavators. The most popular tend to be excavators.Using excavators for dreding means you have to find a way of removing the material, and there are three main methods of dredging,
Pumping – The benefit of silt pumping is that the majority of the work can be completed on water and no bulk moving needs to take place unlike mechanical dredging, and this reduces damage to the ground. Silt pumping can be carried out with the use of excavators to lift the pump in and out of the area, with the use of floating craft such as floating diggers, pontoons or boats, or it can be carried out on the bank of the lake, river or pond. There are two pumping systems that can be used to remove silt from a lake or river, these are hydraulic pumps and vacuum pumps. The best ways to remove material when pumping are listed below.
Silt digestion is the process of applying a silt digestion product such as our very own product AlphaSilt into the lake, river or pond, which promotes oxidisation, enabling silt digesting micro-organisms to thrive.
Heathland Aquatic Engineering offer a full consultancy, survey, dredging and de-silting service. Our team of skilled machine operators and engineers have been involved with many silt removal and management projects around the UK and internationally and would be provide information or answer any questions or queries you might have.

England international, Raheem Sterling has revealed that he will consider leaving Premier League champions, Manchester City and has not ruled out a move abroad.
The 26-year-old faces an uncertain future at the Etihad Stadium as he has struggled to displace summer signing, Jack Grealish in the starting line-up.
Sterling embarked on his seventh campaign as a City player this season, but having seemingly fallen out of favour under Pep Guardiola, the England international has revealed he is “open” to a move at this stage of his career.
Speaking at the Financial Times’ Business of Sport US summit, Sterling said: “If there was an opportunity to go somewhere else, I’d be open to it at this moment in time.
“As an English player all I know is the Premier League and I’ve always thought: ‘You know, maybe one day I’d love to play abroad and see how I would come up against that challenge’.”
The Financial Times added in their report that Sterling suggested he would prefer to join a club in either France or Spain if he were to move abroad.
La Liga giants Barcelona are believed to be monitoring Sterling’s situation ahead of a proposed move in one of the upcoming transfer windows, while Premier League duo Arsenal and Newcastle United have also been linked with the forward.
Sterling, who has less than two years remaining on his current contract, has made 302 appearances across all competitions for the Citizens, scoring 115 goals and providing 88 assists, however this campaign he has started in just four of City’s 10 games in all tournaments, scoring just once.

Howe Institute. In “How to Pay Family Doctors: Why ‘Pay per Patient’ is Better than Fee for Service,” authors Ake Blomqvist and Colin Busby make the case that primary care doctors should have incentives to promote efficiency in the system through the way they are paid. “Paying doctors per patient would give them greater incentive to keep patients healthy and add more patients to their rosters,” said Blomqvist, Health Policy Scholar at the C.D. Howe Institute.

They say that desperate times call for desperate measures, and there have rarely been more desperate times in the modern era than during the two global conflicts that marked the 20th century as one of history’s bloodiest periods.
Before and during World War I, for instance, Germany and its allies first employed wide-scale intelligence and counterintelligence operations aimed at disrupting the enemy’s warfighting capabilities [http://www.academia.edu].
Also, a new lethality of modern weaponry was employed against armies that still utilized 19th century infantry and fighting tactics. These weapons included heavy machine guns, massive artillery pieces and poison gas.

CAPE TOWN – George municipal officials are meeting with disgruntled residents from Thembalethu to find a resolution following a flare-up in protests.
Protesters had marched to the municipal offices earlier this week to hand over a memorandum of grievances.
They demanded the municipality provide electricity and sanitation services like toilets to an informal settlement in Thembalethu that has been without these services for several months.
Protests flared up on Friday again after officials apparently failed to give residents satisfactory answers.
Thembalethu community leader Xolani Swapi said: “According to the municipality, they only have R13 million for the whole year for George. They don’t take us seriously because we’ve been staying in an open filed for eight months. What were their plans?”

There’s no point in denying it, as astronauts have a privileged view of our planet when they’re in space. They may notice details Earth Otherwise it will be impossible to see components International Space Stationwhich they identified from the top of ancient lava.
It may seem like a particular discovery, but it actually has great scientific, as well as geological value as you can easily imagine. The volcanic eruptions They can withstand a lot of surprises, even “hide” some of them Secret Mathematical EquationsWhat is known rather than what is admired by the stars? The image taken by the International Space Station refers to a specific country.
As it appeared in the past few hours, an astronaut noticed an ancient lava flow that stretches across most of the desert New Mexico. It almost looks like a scar from the earth, because the frozen river of volcanic rock is nothing more than a black “mark”, to be exact a basaltic lava flow. It is located in the city of Carrizozo, a place that also gave its name to the stream itself, known as Carrizozo Malpais. The dimensions are no less impressive, with a total area of \u200b\u200b337 square kilometers and a length of about 80 kilometers.
Lava as a precious testimony
As explained by experts on this topic, it is one of the largest remnants of lava that formed on our planet in The last 10 thousand years, so precious testimony from the past on Earth. The eruption of the volcano in question was supposed to have started five thousand years ago and lasted between two and three decades. Then the magma comes out very slowly, Before the volcano itself becomes dormant. The photo taken by the International Space Station is nothing more than a collage of 4 separate dated photos June 30. The astronaut who experimented with this “artistic creation” has not been identified, but is most likely part of the Expedition 67 crew.
Where did the lava come from?
We’re having one of the most detailed images of the area ever seen regarding the lava flow. A lot of volcanic material would have leaked out It is only 27 meters high, specifically in agreement with a geographic area where magma tends to rise very easily through the Earth’s crust before erupting to the surface. The irregular appearance of the icy current is the result of the scattering of light inside Cracks and depressions in rocks and other special land formations. There is no shortage of interactions with what modern civilization is.
In fact, this lava scar was literally cut in two in the northern part of a long road running through New Mexico and up to a railroad. The above image may indicate that there is no life form in this region of the United States, but it does exist Various desert plants, such as the prickly pear and juniper trees. This indicates that flowers and shrubs can smoothly form in the frozen magma and a lot of it will form. At this point the “photography” bar rises, come on International Space Station astronauts New shots are expected to take your breath away.

Aims to implement three ‘R’s of waste management — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Mysore/Mysuru: The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has initiated the ‘My Life, My Clean City’ mission where the civic body will set up dedicated counters at various places, in which people will leave household items and furniture which no more are in their use at the counter for the needy people and also to enable recycling of waste.
The initiative was launched by Mayor Shivakumar yesterday and the programme was jointly organised by MCC, Akhila Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (Mysuru unit), Vidyaranya Trust and KMPK Charitable Trust. This initiative aims to promote recycling and cleanliness in the city.
The Mayor said that the initiative is the brainchild of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has given a call to serve the needy and at the same time implement the three ‘R’s — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The initiative has been launched under Swachh Bharat Mission-2.0 and he asked the people to come forward to make this mission successful.
Shivakumar further said that the MCC is doing every possible effort to make the mission a success and said that they are reaching out to the public and asking them to donate items like clothes, furniture, home appliances and other household items instead of discarding them and contribute to waste generation. He also said that the items collected from the designated counters will be given to the needy and also will be sent for recycling.
Noting that encouraging cleanliness and proper waste management practices can significantly improve the overall environmental condition of Mysuru, Shivakumar said that such initiatives can lead to cleaner streets, reduced pollution, and preservation of natural resources.
“Widely implementing such initiatives can foster a sense of civic responsibility and community involvement. When individuals actively participate in keeping their surroundings clean, it can create a sense of pride and ownership in their locality, leading to a more pleasant living environment for everyone,” he added.
He noted that a clean and well-maintained city can attract tourists and boost the local economy. “When visitors perceive an area as clean and welcoming, they are more likely to spend time and money, benefiting businesses and the overall tourism industry,” he said.
Mysuru City and District Brahmins Association President D.T. Prakash said that such initiatives can have several positive impacts on the environment, public health, community engagement, and the economy. “We stockpile many unwanted items at our homes and we discard them one day. Instead, the items including books, furniture, clothes, utensils, toys can be donated to the recycling centres of the MCC so that the items can be reused and recycled,” he said.
Senior Health Inspector Shivaprasad, Environment Engineer Jyothi, Akhila Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat Mysuru unit President G.V. Ravishankar, Vikram Iyengar of KMPK Charitable Trust and others were present. A jatha focussing on ‘My Life, My Clean City’ was taken out from Vidyaranya Coaching Centre till the Chamundipuram Circle.

Interesting essay samples and examples on: https://essays.io/dissertation-examples-samples/
Eli Broad already announced his intention to privatize the schools of half the children in the Los Angeles public schools. He will gather $490 million from his billionaire friends to open 260 new charters. Some of these will presumably be housed in empty public schools.
The Broad coalition of Broad-funded organizations has already demanded a role in vetting the new superintendent.
The elected school board has made clear that it wants to hear from many communities, not just the Broad coalition.
But who do you think is in charge of community outreach for the school board? A certified insider in the corporate reform movement!
As Karen Wolfe, a parent activist, details here, Beth Doctor Gibbons has a sparkling “reformster” resume. She was a lobbyist for Michelle Rhee’s anti-teacher, anti-union StudentsFirst for three years; she is an alumna of TFA; she taught in Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academy chain; she worked for Educators for Excellence (E4E), the Gates-funded group that opposes due process rights for teachers. What a resume!
“Now at LAUSD
Since January, 2015, Gibbons has been an external affairs and legislative liaison in LAUSD’s Office of Government Relations, according to her LinkedIn profile. That’s before the new board convened; certainly before new board member Scott Schmerelson vowed not to let Eli Broad bully the school board, before Steve Zimmer was board president, and before he said that Broad’s plan was a “gross perversion” of charters in an NBC television interview.”
This is the person who will lead community discussions of Eli Broad’s hostile takeover and privatization of LA schools. What a clever man he is!
Will the board go along with Eli’s silent coup or will they choose someone to represent the public interest?
Steve Zimmer? Time to stand up and be counted.

This paper explores the extension of integrated econometric/input-output models from a single to a multiregional context. A number of methodological issues associated with existing treatments of extraregional relations in both traditional multiregional econometric models and the more recent single region integrated models are discussed. A series of new approaches are introduced that rely on the integration of econometric and input-output methods to specify extraregional linkages. A comparison of these alternative modeling approaches is undertaken using employment series for 5 regions in Southern California. The forecasting accuracies are evaluated in a series of out-of-sample forecasting experiments. The findings suggest that the forecasting performance of the multiregional extensions of the integrated approach is competitive with the performance of single region implementations. The performance of the alternative multiregional approaches is found to be relatively more sensitive to regionalization of the IO component and the level of industrial disaggregation than to the incorporation of distance in the specification of the multiregional linkages.

Help Cats Rescued from Hoarding Situations
This afternoon, Toronto Cat Rescue’s amazing team of volunteers has once again come together to help 38 cats from a hoarding situation involving 60+ cats in Quebec.
Humane Society International (HSI) asked for help, and Toronto Cat Rescue (TCR) foster parents and volunteers answered. With the help of a grant from PetSmart Charities, every single one of these cats has a foster parent waiting to welcome them home tonight.
This time last year, TCR pulled off a similar miracle over the holidays, taking in 50 cats from Quebec.
Throughout the year, it is common for cats to be found in crowded conditions like these, and Toronto Cat Rescue (TCR) is often the only organization that Toronto Animal Services, Humane Society International, and other partners can turn to for help.
This year alone, TCR has saved almost 2,700 cats.

MONMOUTH — A mother and daughter were arrested after they intentionally hit each others’ vehicles in a cemetery Friday and caused an estimated $35,000 in damage to headstones, the town police chief said.
Melissa K. Grant, 42, and her daughter, Savannah N. Lowe, 20, were charged following a dispute in Monmouth Ridge Cemetery off Cemetery Road.
Grant faces charges: aggravated criminal mischief, aggravated reckless conduct, operating while license suspended or revoked, operating a vehicle without a license and leaving the scene of an accident.
Lowe was charged with aggravated criminal mischief and aggravated reckless conduct.
Monmouth Police Chief Kevin Mulherin said Lowe was attempting to prevent Grant from leaving the cemetery because the daughter believed the mother was drunk, which police never proved.
The daughter hit her mother’s car with her car, then the mother hit the daughter’s car with hers, Mulherin said.
“They ended up hitting each others’ cars and taking out some gravestones,” he said.
Police estimate about $35,000 in damage due to the large size of the gravestones. One of the stones ripped from the ground was that of a woman who died in 1843.
