Lenny Kravitz will detail his childhood up through the release of his 1989 debut album in a forthcoming memoir, titled Let Love Rule.
The singer was 25 when he released his first collection, also titled Let Love Rule, and his new book, set to be published in October via Henry Holt and Company, explores the rocker's formative years, and his beginnings in the music industry.
In a statement, Kravitz called writing the memoir “a beautiful and interesting experience,” adding: “That journey, full of adventure, was where I found myself and my voice. Through that experience, love was the force that paved the way and love became my message.”
The book will span Kravitz’s childhood, which was split between Manhattan’s Upper East Side and Brooklyn, New York, as well as young adulthood journeys in Los Angeles, France, England and Germany.
“It’s the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in music,” a description reads.
The book promises: “In one lightning-fast chapter after another, we see (Kravitz) grow as a musician and ultimately a master songwriter, producer and performer.”
Kravitz's relationship with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, with whom he shares actress daughter Zoe Kravitz, will also be uncovered, along with the influence of his parents - news producer dad Sy and mother Roxie Roker, a TV actress.
Lenny co-wrote Let Love Rule with biographer and songwriter David Ritz. He also intends to narrate the audiobook version of his memoir.

British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr has admitted his relief after opponent Nick Blackwell finally woke from the coma he was placed in following their fight.
Blackwell’s promoters only revealed on Monday that the 25-year-old had regained consciousness on Saturday, a week after his 10th-round stoppage by Eubank Jr, and spoken to family and friends a day later.
“I’ve just got the news that Nick Blackwell has finally woken out of his coma after about nine days,” said Eubank Jr. “Very, very happy to hear this. It’s a real relief. The last thing we want is for a fighter to go through any serious damage.”
Blackwell was thought to have suffered bleeding on the brain in the fight at Wembley Arena on 26 March but his promoter Hennessy Sports said the bleeding had in fact been on his skull.
“Nick had won his toughest fight yet,” they said. “It was the outcome everyone had been hoping and praying for. Nick Blackwell won the hearts of over 3m viewers with an astonishing display of all-action bravery and determination. In the past week, however, he has humbled millions more. He’s a fighter. He’s a warrior. He’s a true champion and gentleman.”
Former world heavyweight champion David Haye has pledged 10 per cent of ticket revenue for his next fight to Blackwell, while fellow middleweight Adam Etches has raised £11,600 – exceeding his £10,000 target – through a crowdfunding page.
Etches and world welterweight champion Kell Brook have also vowed to raise more money through sponsored events to help Blackwell in his post-fighting career.

After a week in which the debate over gun control dominated the political world, two first responders in Western New York were killed in a shooting. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced New York State Police and the State Office of Emergency Management are working with local officials in Webster New York after the shooting, which left two volunteer firefighters dead and two others injured after they were shot while responding to a blaze in the town this morning. In a statement, the governor called the shooting “horrific” and offered his sympathies to the families of those who died and were hurt.
“All of our thoughts and prayers go to the families and friends of those who were killed in this senseless act of violence,” said Governor Cuomo. “New York’s first responders are true heroes as they time and again selflessly rush toward danger in order to keep our families and communities safe. Volunteer firefighters and police officers were injured and two were taken from us as they once again answered the call of duty. We as the community of New York mourn their loss as now two more families must spend the holidays without their loved ones.” Read More

Spanning 55 years and 45 songs, a 2CD collection to ratify Manchester’s claim to be Britain’s second – if not at times, first – musical city. From primal beat through promiscuous punk, high 80s disco/soul and pure baggy to proud and proper rock, the evidence is all here.
Starting with Ewan MacColl’s ‘Dirty Old Town’, which captures the effects the industrial revolution and its aftermath had on the city, “Manchester - A City United In Music” moves through the 60s beat boom, Strawberry Studio’s pop revolution, northern punk, indie mayhem and on to the Madchester years, culminating with Oasis’ modern-day rock‘n’roll anthem. Tracks vary from the multi-million selling hits of Wayne Fontana, 10cc, Herman’s Hermits and Simply Red to the more acquired taste of Haydock’s Rockhouse, Wynder K Frog and Smack. Well-known artists such as the Hollies, Georgie Fame and John Mayall are heard on some of their lesser-known but top-notch tracks.
Cult singles are featured by the Purple Gang, the Toggery Five, Gerry & the Holograms and the Dakotas, along with tracks by local personalities Graham Fellows (aka Jilted John and John Shuttleworth), Chris Sievey (Frank Sidebottom) with his group the Freshies and Dr John Cooper Clarke, the Bard of Salford. Future stars Graham Gouldman and Dave Formula are present on great cuts recorded before their fame arrived and producer Martin Hannett’s name threads throughout.
Manchester’s soulful roots can be heard in tracks by Elkie Brooks, Sweet Sensation, M People and Blue Zone; earlier attempts at R&B were made by beat groups the Measles, Pete Maclaine & the Clan and the Whirlwinds. A dozen years later the musical rebellion was taken up by Buzzcocks, Salford Jets and Slaughter & the Dogs. A further burst of pent-up energy followed through the angst-ridden sounds of Joy Division, Magazine and the Fall, while the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets come across in a far more blissed-out state.
Housed in a fold-out digipak, the 2CD set and its accompanying 44-page booklet – featuring copious notes by local music historian/musician C.P. Lee and a foreword by one-time Manchester resident Jon Savage, along with photos and illustrations from the period and reminiscences from many of the players – tell the fascinating story of the city’s musical history and examine how it came to be. Despite the several-decade time span, the varying music styles weave well together to make the experience a pleasure as well as an education.

CONCACAF.com recaps action from Major League Soccer’s qualifiers for 2014/15 CONCACAF Champions League. Liga MX is currently in its offseason.
MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER
(2014/15 CCL qualifiers in BOLD)
In a battle of 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League qualifiers, D.C. United (21 points) moved within two points of Eastern Conference leader New England following a 1-0 win over visiting Sporting Kansas City (19 points) on Saturday.
Fabian Espindola scored the lone goal in the 28th minute, sending what appeared to be a cross inside the far post for his seventh goal of the season.
Sporting Kansas City, which stretched its winless streak to five games, fell to third place in the East. It was United’s first win over Sporting Kansas City in four years.
On Sunday, the host Portland Timbers (16 points) rallied from a three-goal deficit to score twice in the final quarter hour, but still fell to the Vancouver Whitecaps (20 points), 4-3, at Providence Park.
After Maximiliano Urriti put the Timbers in front on in the third minute, Pedro Morales (16’, 26’) struck twice from the penalty spot in a 10-minute span and Erik Hurtado followed with a goal four minutes into first half stoppage time to give Vancouver a 3-1 halftime lead.
Jordan Harvey made it 4-1 four minutes into the second half, before Gaston Fernandez (77’) and Will Johnson (86’) struck late for Portland, which had its two-game winning streak snapped.
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, Sporting Kansas City played the visiting New York Red Bulls (15 points) to a 1-1 draw.
Toni Dovale’s first MLS goal gave the home side a 1-0 lead after nine minutes, but Thierry Henry set up Bradley Wright-Phillips for the Englishman’s league-leading 11th goal five minutes after halftime to level the score.
On Wednesday, Portland won 2-0 at Chivas USA (10 points). Adi Fernando (65’, 71’) struck for a second-half brace, scoring twice in a span of six minutes.

RFE/RL NEWSLINE Vol 1, No. 138, Part I, 14 October 1997
A daily report of developments in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, Russia, the Caucasus and Central Asia prepared by the staff of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. This is Part I, a compilation of news concerning Russia, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Part II covers Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe and is distributed simultaneously as a second document. Back issues of RFE/RL NewsLine and the OMRI Daily Digest are online at RFE/RL's Web site: http://www.rferl.org/newsline xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Headlines, Part I *CHERNOMYRDIN RAISES STAKES ON NO-CONFIDENCE VOTE *SELEZNEV REJECTS INDEPENDENCE FOR CHECHNYA *NEW GOVERNMENT FORMED IN KAZAKHSTAN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx RUSSIA CHERNOMYRDIN RAISES STAKES ON NO-CONFIDENCE VOTE... Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin told ITAR-TASS on 14 October that if the State Duma approves a vote of no confidence in his government, the cabinet will respond quickly "within the framework of the constitution" and will not wait three months, "as some are hoping." Chernomyrdin said he favors "direct dialogue" between the government and the parliament, "not [no-confidence] votes and squabbles." At a 15 October plenary session, the Duma is scheduled to consider a Communist proposal to put a no-confidence vote on the agenda. Chernomyrdin's remarks suggest that if the Duma passes a no-confidence vote, the government will request that deputies consider a second confidence motion within 10 days, as the government did following such a vote in June 1995. President Boris Yeltsin can legally dissolve the Duma and call new parliamentary elections if two no-confidence votes are passed within three months. ...AMID RUMORS OF HIS POSSIBLE RESIGNATION. Chernomyrdin neither confirmed nor denied a statement by Aleksandr Shokhin, the leader of the pro-government Duma faction Our Home Is Russia, who told Interfax on 14 October that the prime minister will resign if the Duma approves a no-confidence vote. Shokhin said Chernomyrdin informed Duma Speaker Gennadii Seleznev of his plans the previous day. Although government spokesman Igor Shabdurasulov told ITAR-TASS that Chernomyrdin does not plan to step down, Seleznev confirmed that Chernomyrdin told him he will "probably" resign if the no-confidence motion is approved. Seleznev also said that the Duma's likely no-confidence vote will be directed against First Deputy Prime Ministers Anatolii Chubais and Boris Nemtsov, not against Chernomyrdin. For his part, Nemtsov charged on 14 October that the Duma will do enormous damage to the Russian economy if it provokes a government crisis. SPOKESMAN SAYS NO-CONFIDENCE VOTE WOULD BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. Presidential spokesman Sergei Yastrzhembskii on 14 October announced that while the Duma is constitutionally entitled to pass a no-confidence vote, such a move would solve no problems and yield no "positive result," Russian news agencies reported. Yastrzhembskii said Yeltsin will speak with Seleznev before the Duma's 15 October session, but the spokesman refused to speculate on the president's possible reaction to a no-confidence vote. (In a recent radio address, Yeltsin told Duma deputies they should cooperate with the government, because his patience has limits.) Yastrzhembskii also said Yeltsin is counting on Duma deputies to show "reason" in their approach to revising the 1998 budget in order to reach a mutually acceptable compromise. IS OPPOSITION UNAFRAID OF DISSOLUTION? Duma Legislation Committee Chairman Anatolii Lukyanov, a prominent Communist, told RFE/RL's Moscow bureau on 14 October that the Communist Party does not fear the dissolution of the Duma. If early parliamentary elections are held, Lukyanov added, the left opposition will win even more seats. Communist Party leader Gennadii Zyuganov announced the same day that his party will insist on a no-confidence vote on 15 October despite rumors that Chernomyrdin may resign, Interfax reported. Duma Defense Committee Chairman Lev Rokhlin on 13 October said his Movement in Support of the Army also favors a no-confidence vote, RFE/RL's Moscow bureau reported. Rokhlin predicted that if Yeltsin disbands the Duma, "patriotically-minded forces" will win a majority of seats in the next parliamentary elections. Opinion within the Communist Duma faction is reportedly divided over whether to pass two no- confidence votes and risk the Duma's dissolution. SELEZNEV REJECTS INDEPENDENCE FOR CHECHNYA. Duma speaker Seleznev on 13 October rejected as "absolutely unacceptable" the Chechen draft of a treaty between Russia and the Chechen Republic that provides for establishing bilateral diplomatic relations, Russian agencies reported. But Duma Defense Committee Chairman Rokhlin told journalists the same day that attempts to "tie Chechnya to Russia" are wrong and that "the sovereignty of Chechnya must be recognized", according to Interfax. Vladimir Zorin, who is chairman of the Duma's Committee for Nationalities, said the closed Duma hearings on 14 October are intended "not as a confrontation but as a search for consensus on settling the problems Russia faces in the North Caucasus." Grozny announced on 12 October that it will not send delegates to attend the Duma hearings (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 13 October 1997). BUDGET COMMISSION HOLDS FIRST MEETING. The trilateral commission seeking a compromise on the draft budget for 1998 held its first meeting on 13 October, RFE/RL's Moscow bureau reported. First Deputy Prime Minister Chubais said the representatives of the government, Duma and Federation Council are to finish revising the budget in nine days. Duma Budget Committee Chairman Mikhail Zadornov of Yabloko told ITAR-TASS on 13 October that the government has already agreed to revise its projection for 1998 GDP up from 2.75 trillion new rubles ($470 billion) to 2.8 trillion new rubles. The second session of the commission is scheduled for 14 October. However, Zyuganov told Interfax that negotiations over the 1998 budget are "completely senseless." He charged that the trilateral commission is not operating as Duma deputies had anticipated. He also accused Chubais of trying to "force through" his own budget figures. CHERNOMYRDIN OPTIMISTIC ON FOREIGN INVESTMENT. Prime Minister Chernomyrdin was upbeat at a 13 October meeting of the Foreign Investment Advisory Council, comprised of government officials and representatives of major foreign companies. He said Russia attracted $6.7 billion in foreign investment during the first six months of 1997, more than triple the level for the same period in 1996. (Foreign investment was particularly low during the first six months of 1996 because of investors' fears that Communist Party leader Zyuganov might win the presidential election.) Chernomyrdin said accumulated foreign investment in Russia amounts to $20.2 billion. He pledged that the government hopes to attract up to $20 billion a year in foreign investment by 2000. To this end, he said the government is considering restoring customs duty reductions and tax concessions for foreign investors, which were suspended last year, Interfax reported. DEPUTY SAYS CORRUPTION IN DUMA WIDESPREAD. Duma deputy Konstantin Borovoi on 13 October called for passing a law on lobbying to fight corruption in the Duma, which, he claimed, is rampant, RFE/RL's Moscow bureau reported. Borovoi said deputies frequently take bribes to lobby for legislation that benefits corporate groups or foreign countries. He did not name any specific corporations but said that state monopolies and companies in "the military-industrial complex" have paid Duma deputies to lobby on their behalf. One large corporation spent $3 million on buying the support of Duma deputies, he claimed. Borovoi, a wealthy entrepreneur, was elected to the Duma from a single-member district and does not belong to any faction. He has generally supported the government's economic policies and is a vocal anti-communist. DUMA PASSES LAW ON SUBSISTENCE LEVEL. The Duma on 10 October passed a law on the minimum subsistence level, ITAR-TASS reported. Under the law, each Russian region would calculate the subsistence minimum every three months, based on the prices of essential consumer goods. Citizens whose incomes fell below the subsistence level would be eligible for financial assistance from the state. Yeltsin's representative in the Duma, Aleksandr Kotenkov, hailed the law as the "foundation of the state's new social policy." The government has called for restricting most social benefits payments to those with low incomes rather than making payments to categories of citizens, such as relatives of veterans or law enforcement officials. ZHIRINOVSKY ACCUSES NEMTSOV OF CORRUPTION. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky has again accused First Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov of taking bribes and embezzling a total of $18 million while serving as governor of Nizhnii Novgorod Oblast, ITAR-TASS reported on 13 October. According to "Nezavisimaya gazeta" on 14 October, the businessman Andrei Klimentev, who first lodged the accusations against Nemtsov, was scheduled to testify before a Duma commission on corruption and to give a press conference in the capital. However, the Nizhnii Novgorod Oblast Court did not allow Klimentev to leave the region, because he is under criminal investigation. Nemtsov's lawyer, Vitalii Khavkin, has dismissed the accusations as lies intended to damage Nemtsov's political career. Khavkin said that in the summer, Nemtsov requested that the Prosecutor-General's Office open a slander case against Klimentev (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 4 August 1997). SHOKHIN FAVORS SUBSIDIES FOR MOSCOW. Our Home Is Russia Duma faction leader Shokhin has expressed regret that compensation payments for Moscow were excluded from the government's draft budget for 1998, ITAR-TASS reported on 13 October. Shokhin noted that while there is a "certain envy" for Moscow--which "puts on celebrations, builds roads, and implements many projects"--the federal government should recognize that most foreign investment in Russia comes to Moscow. Consequently, the government should allocate expenditures to compensate Moscow for the costs of being the country's capital, Shokhin said. He argued that such a policy would help not just Moscow but the whole country. Moscow Mayor Luzhkov, a sharp critic of First Deputy Prime Ministers Chubais and Nemtsov, has decried the government's plans to take away the compensation payments. LUZHKOV SAYS MOSCOW WILL PROVIDE TEXTBOOKS FOR RUSSIANS ABROAD. Moscow Mayor Yurii Luzhkov announced on 13 October that the Moscow city government will provide Russian-language textbooks for Russian-speaking students in Estonia, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, ITAR-TASS reported. The textbooks will also be sent to schools in Sevastopol, the Crimean port where the Black Sea Fleet is based. Russia renounced all territorial claims against Ukraine when Yeltsin signed a treaty with his Ukrainian counterpart, Leonid Kuchma, in May. Luzhkov was an outspoken critic of that treaty and has repeatedly declared that Sevastopol was, is, and will remain a Russian city. LEBED SEEKS COOPERATION WITH POTENTIAL CAMPAIGN RIVALS. Former Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Lebed says he hopes to cooperate with both Moscow Mayor Luzhkov and with Yabloko leader Grigorii Yavlinskii during the next presidential campaign, scheduled for 2000. In an interview published in "Komsomolskaya pravda" on 11 October, Lebed said he is also ready to work with First Deputy Prime Minister Nemtsov, who, he commented, has "many positive qualities." Lebed and Yavlinskii held unsuccessful consultations on forming an electoral alliance during the 1996 presidential campaign. Luzhkov has sharply criticized Lebed in the past, especially for the peace agreement Lebed negotiated with Chechnya in August 1996. Although Luzhkov has frequently denied harboring presidential ambitions, he, like Lebed, is seen as a leading contender for support from the "patriotic" wing of the Russian electorate. COMMUNISTS GAIN GROUND IN BELGOROD ELECTIONS. Candidates representing the Communist Party made a strong showing in the 12 October elections to the Belgorod Oblast Duma, RFE/RL's Moscow bureau reported. Communists won 13 out of the 35 seats in the legislature. The remaining seats were won by candidates with no political party affiliation. Turnout was some 45 percent. The previous Duma approved virtually all the initiatives of Belgorod Governor Yevgenii Savchenko, but the new legislature is expected to be a force for the governor to reckon with. Communists candidates sharply criticized the oblast authorities during the Belgorod campaign. SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR ARRESTED LENINSK-KUZNETSKII MAYOR. More than 1,000 people demonstrated in Leninsk-Kuznetskii, Kemerovo Oblast, on 12 October demanding the release of Mayor Gennadii Konyakhin, RFE/RL's Moscow bureau reported on 13 October. Konyakhin was recently arrested in Moscow on embezzlement charges and is in custody in Kemerovo (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 9 October 1997). In a telephone interview with RFE/RL, acting Leninsk-Kuznetskii Mayor Mark Guskov said more demonstrations in support of Konyakhin are planned. State Duma deputy Teimuraz Avaliani, the leader of the Kemerovo branch of the Communist Party, has asked the Prosecutor-General's Office to release Konyakhin pending trial, ITAR-TASS reported on 14 October. Vladimir Popov, the chairman of the Kemerovo Electoral Commission, has also said that Konyakhin has the right to continue to serve as mayor, despite the criminal case opened against him, according to the 14 October "Kommersant-Daily." U.S. BANKER BLAMES COMPETITORS FOR VISA PROBLEMS. U.S. citizen Boris Jordan, the head of the investment bank MFK and the Renaissance Capital fund, has denied Security Council Deputy Secretary Boris Berezovskii's claim that his visa was revoked because he gained access to classified information, "Kommersant-Daily" reported on 14 October. At a Moscow press conference, Jordan blamed "unscrupulous competitors" of the Oneksimbank group, which includes MFK, for the incident. He also warned that the "provocation" against him will hurt Russia's image with foreign investors (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 10 and 13 October 1997). "Nezavisimaya gazeta," partly financed by Berezovskii's LogoVAZ group, reported on 14 October that MFK services accounts of the Russian arms exporter Rosvooruzhenie. The newspaper also said Jordan's investment activities have long been monitored by Russian security services. It suggested that Jordan's September appointment as head of MFK prompted the decision to revoke his visa. TATARSTAN TO WORK WITH IRAQ IN PETROLEUM PRODUCTION. Tatar President Mintimer Shaimiev met with Iraqi Deputy Minister of Petroleum Faiz Abdulla Shakhen and Iraqi Ambassador to Moscow Hassan Fahmi Djuma in Kazan on 13 October, RFE/RL's Kazan bureau reported, citing Radio Tatarstan. An agreement was reached whereby specialists from the Tatar national oil company Tatneft will participate in petroleum production in Iraq and provide production equipment in exchange for the assembly in Iraq of Kamaz trucks. An April 1995 agreement on cooperation in the oil sector was never implemented because of the lack of relevant Russian legislation. TRANSCAUCASUS AND CENTRAL ASIA NEW GOVERNMENT FORMED IN KAZAKHSTAN. First Deputy Prime Minister Akhmetzhan Yesimov, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Pavlov, Foreign Minister Kasymjomart Tokaev, and Interior Minister Kairbek Suleimanov retain their posts in the new Kazakh government, Russian agencies reported on 13 October. President Nursultan Nazarbaev has appointed a new minister of justice and upgraded the national press and media agency to the status of ministry. Despite having told the parliament in his10 October address that the new government would have no more than15 ministers, Nazarbaev apparently did not abolish any ministries. Meanwhile, many of the protest marchers halted by police near the southern city of Turkestan have begun a hunger-strike (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 8 October 1997), ITAR-TASS reported on 13 October. IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER IN ASHGABAT. During his one-day visit to Turkmenistan on 13 October, Kamal Kharrazi met with President Saparmurad Niyazov to discuss cooperation in the oil and gas sector, Russian agencies reported. The talks focused on the export of Turkmenistan's oil and gas via Iran. Turkmen Oil and Gas Minister Batyr Sardzhaev told Interfax that when construction of the Korpedzhe-Kurd-Kui pipeline is completed in December, Turkmenistan will begin exporting to Iran 3 billion cubic meters of gas each year. Niyazov and Kharrazi also discussed the possibility of constructing a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Turkey via Iran and an oil pipeline from Turkmenistan through Iran to the Persian Gulf. Niyazov proposed creating a joint commission for exploiting Caspian mineral resources. KYRGYZ PREMIER SAYS RUSSIAN TV BROADCASTS TO CONTINUE. Apas Djumagulov on 13 October confirmed he will not allow the rebroadcasting of Russian Public Television (ORT), Russian Television (RTR), and Radio Mayak programs to be halted, ITAR-TASS reported. Kyrgyz TV and radio relay stations had decided to stop retransmission until the three broadcasters pay their outstanding debts to the Kyrgyz Ministry of Communications. Oruzbek Kaiykov, the head of the Kyrgyzstan Information Agency, told journalists in Bishkek on 13 October that ORT owes some 3 billion Russian rubles ($600,000) RTR 837.5 million rubles, and Radio Mayak 869 million rubles, according to an RFE/RL correspondent in the Kyrgyz capital. Kaiykov said Djumagulov asked the parliament to include in the 1998 draft budget some 6 million soms ($350,000) toward the cost of rebroadcasting Russian television and radio programs in Kyrgyzstan.

KAKAMEGA, KENYA: Several farmers who had earlier abandoned sugarcane farming have started venturing into the cash crop again following increased returns.
Sugar milling firms in Western Kenya are currently offering Sh4, 200 per tonne.
Ironically, millers are experiencing a biting raw material shortage since most farmers had since shifted to growing alternative food crops after they started experiencing dwindling returns.
Kenya National Federation of Sugarcane Farmers said a cane pricing committee constituted last year has been able to implement a realistic price control formula based on the market forces.
“First sugar millers were compelled to pay farmers Sh3, 800 per tonne and this increased to Sh4, 000 in the second quarter and now we are happy that farmers are taking home Sh4, 200 per tonne,” said the federation deputy secretary general Simon Wesechere.
Farmers interviewed earlier said they were convinced the future was bright.

Helping business grow
There is no such thing as entering a room full of strangers if you’re a Pacific business owner. Most Pacific business owners know each other but networking is still essential for those starting up or growing a business.
The Fiji Business Networking evening hosted by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples was full of enthusiastic business savvy.
“It’s all about starting a conversation,” says Laura Keil-Hall, a Ministry staff member who works closely with Pacific businesses by using the language week as a platform to spark meaningful business conversations.
“Pacific businesses sometimes operate in their own bubble, and events like this help many to connect and find ways to network to develop a successful business. It is also good in terms of effective networking for our Ministry staff.”
“The emphasis of the event was to inspire and connect Fiji business people with each other, as we do not know enough of the Fijian business landscape.”
“We have the Samoan, Tongan, Niuean and Cook Islands business networks and this is the first time we made a call to our Fijian corporate community.”
Laura says at the moment there is a huge appetite for something like this and the fact that it is a collaborative event means that it draws in other entrepreneurs.
Rotuman creative artist, Alfie Prasad says he’s new to the business environment.
“I’ve just started setting up my own business in event décor and it’s really hard. Leaving a full time paid job to run your own business is not easy.”
“Networking plays a big part. I fully endorse a Fiji Business Network,” says Alfie.
Aklesi Dean, owner of Kalesi Spa Beauty Lounge says effective networking helps business startups.
“We laugh, but we exchange critical information and form professional connections through events like this”.
“My husband runs an electrical and air conditioning company and I run Kalesi Spa on the side. It’s tough but it’s also self-rewarding to give it a go and you learn along the way.”
“My business is all about destressing and exploring different types of massages in an authentic Pacific way. Our therapists are from Fiji, and fully trained in the hospitality industry. We want to give our customers a full experience of our culture, language and experience.”
“We are striving to be the Pacific’s finest for spa therapy in New Zealand,” says Aklesi.
Others included in the event were; broadcaster, Bulou Amalaini Ligalevu who set up the Fijian radio station Radiokvk FM, Henry Jackson from the ASB Bank, who talked about lending and support for small businesses, IRD representatives informing the community about new changes which will impact businesses and Pacific people, and many others with their own unique business stories.
There were meaningful conversations and business cards were passed around.
“There is no such thing as awkward networking when it comes to Pacific businesses coming together,” says Laura.
“You never know who you’ll meet at these events. Our job in the Ministry is establishing connections and creating our own platforms for our community.”
A survey is intended to be sent to those who attended, to get feedback about the event and suggestions for where to go from here.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for Fiji business owners in New Zealand to come together, network, share ideas and talk about the successes and challenges of the business world.

May Sees Second-Highest Number of New Business Filings Ever
COLUMBUS, Ohio – May was the second-best month ever for new business filings in Ohio with 10,712 entities submitting paperwork, according to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, an increase of 2,116 compared to a year ago.
The number of filings is only behind March’s total of 12,827. So far in 2017, 53,345 businesses have filed the necessary formation documents with the state, he added.
Since the Secretary of State office created the Ohio Business Central website, allowing businesses to file startup paperwork online, in 2013, more than 253,000 filings have been processed online. Three of every four businesses in Ohio are now started online, Husted said.
New business filings are forms filed with the office declaring the creation of a for-profit, nonprofit and professional corporation, limited liability companies, partnerships and limited liability partnerships. Filing does not require that the business start operations, create jobs or be profitable.

According to recent reports, a 100-year-old fruitcake in Antarctica has been found in a ‘almost’ edible condition in the coldest place on Earth.
National Geographic reports that conservators with the New Zealand-based Antarctic Heritage Trust recently found a century old fruitcake in Antarctica’s oldest building, which is a hut on capre Adare.
According to reports, the cake was wrapped in paper and was kept in a tin. The trust said that they found the dessert in “excellent condition” and it looked and smelt almost edible.
Reports state that British explorer Robert Falcon Scott probably brought the cake to the region. The cake was reportedly made by the British biscuit company Huntley & Palmers and was brought by the explorer to Antarctica during 1910-1913 Terra Nova expedition.
The expedition’s Northern Party reportedly took shelter in the Capre Adare hut at the time. The hut was reportedly built by Norwegian Carsten Borchgrevink’s team in 1899. Reports state that a team has been excavating artifacts from thehut since 2016.
“Fruitcake was a popular item in English society at the time, and it remains popular today,” Lizzie Meek, conservation manager for artifacts at the trust told National Geographic via email.
“Living and working in Antarctica tends to lead to a craving for high-fat, high-sugar food, and fruitcake fits the bill nicely, not to mention going very well with a cup of tea,” she said.
Reports state that during the Terra Nova expedition, Scott and his four person crew reached the South Pole in 1912, however all five of them died while they set on their return journey towards the expedition base, which was the Terra Nova hut on Cape Evans.
Heritage Trust conservators have reportedly restored the hut, which is the largest Antractic building of its time. The conservators have also restored several other widen huts to what they looked like almost a century ago.
The conservators, after restoration, place all the items of the hut, including the fruitcake, to its original position in which they were found.

Timberlake's second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, was released in 2006 and featured numerous hit singles including My Love featuring T.I. and SexyBack featuring Timbaland.
Butterfly Boucher (pronounced 'bow-cher' with a hard "ch" sound, unlike the French pronunciation) is an Adelaide, Australian singer/songwriter. Boucher, born June 2, 1979, is the middle child of seven daughters. The name "Butterfly" was a suggestion from a friend of the family. Her mother didn't initially like the name but kept seeing butterflies in pictures, on clothing, etc. before the birth. In later years, Butterfly's sister had a band, The Mercy Bell, in which Butterfly played bass guitar. In 2004 and 2005, Boucher toured the U.
Aqua is a danish-norwegian dance-pop group, best known for their 1997 breakthrough single Barbie Girl.

There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Scythian is a death metal band from London, UK. An upcoming act that combines elements of death, trash and black metal into a powerful blend of audio assault. 2) Dubbed by The Washington Post as "one of DC's most energetic and eclectic bands" Scythian (sith-ee-yin) falls nothing short of a "party band". Their high-energy, adrenaline-peddling, interactive brand of music has one goal in mind - to get people on their feet and dancing.
The Classic Crime is a Seattle-based alternative rock band. They released their Tooth & Nail debut album, 'Albatross', in 2006. It marked the fastest first-week sales for a new artist in the history of T&N. The band members are Matt MacDonald (vocals), Justin DuQue (guitar), Robert "Cheeze" Negrin (guitar), Alan Clark (bass), and Paul "Skip" Erickson (drums). While touring in support of their full-length album Albatross, the band created the Acoustic EP: Seattle Sessions, which was simply a compilation of songs they created while on the road.
Dexys Midnight Runners - the name consistently spelled without an apostrophe - were a British post-punk and northern soul band who achieved their major success in the early to mid 1980s. The word "Dexys" in this case, comes from a colloquialism of "dextroamphetamine" or "purple hearts," a type of amphetamine diet pill that was a popular "upper" drug with England's Northern Soul scene in the 1960s.
Harry and the Potters are an indie rock band formed in Norwood, Massachusetts, in 2002 by brothers Joe DeGeorge and Paul DeGeorge. The band was inspired by the J.K.

It all depends on the moon… and the bid.
Brownbird is an artist based out of NYC who plays what he describes as "acoustic holler blues". While he was strictly a street musician in the past, he is now playing many shows in places from bars, to mexican cathouses. He explodes as a performer and uses the Kazoo in a way that doesn't make him look like an idiot--which is really saying something.

Welcome to the oldest building in the city of Salisbury. When the city and cathedral were up on the ancient earthwork site at Old Sarum Castle, the parish of St Martin Milford occupied the lowlands to the south. As in many other places with Roman military connections, it was a "St Martin in the fields", where soldiers might pause to invoke the aid of their patron saint.
The parish church of St Martin was a cruciform church, almost certainly with a central tower. Remains of the south transept of that building are known to lie underneath the grass in the churchyard. Although the central tower has long since gone, there is still something of the feel of a crossing between the two chancel arches.
Shortly before the new city of Salisbury was begun in 1220, the old Chancel at St Martin’s was rebuilt in the early English style, and that is the Chancel which remains to this day. The lower part of the present tower also appears to belong to this date, though it is unclear why the axis is so different, or how the tower related to the rest of the building.
There are many unanswered questions about the sequence of the rest of the building. The western Chancel arch probably dates from about 1415. Some aspects are so similar to the strainer arches in the cathedral, that it may also be by the mason - Robert Wayte. The tall slender columns and high arches of the nave are 15th century, as are the windows and the waggon roofs. However, the overall outline of the nave, aisles, roof pitches and buttresses all suggest a 14th century structure. The spire and the upper tower are clearly 14th century indicating the nave was not so much rebuilt, as radically modernised.
Saint Martin's is a parish of long-standing catholic tradition ministering to a diverse parish on the east of Salisbury supported by a dedicated team eager to grow in faith and fulfil its purpose of spreading abroad the love of God. We stand in the catholic tradition of the Church of England which began its rebirth in 1833 when The Revd John Keble preached the assize sermon before the judges in the University Church of S. Mary Oxford. His message was simple, the Church of England he contended is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church in England.
Thus began the religious revival known as the Oxford movement or Anglo-Catholicism. By 1887 St. Martin’s was firmly established in this religious revival, when the then Rector first used eucharistic vestments and catholic ceremonial.
St. Martin’s has proclaimed catholic faith, morals and order. The worship has been rich in beauty and austere in season. Anglo-Catholicism has long held the Incarnation (the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ as a man) as a defining ordinance. Human life and the human condition matter, because God has chosen to share that life and condition, or as Canon Henry Scott-Holland put it “I care about drains because God became man”.
The worship at St. Martin’s is traditional and formal at the right moments and full of joy and laughter at others. Those who worship here seek the holy in their lives and rejoice at the God of the everyday who shared our human life. Our catholic faith draws us both into the mystery of God and into the best use of human life. At the PCC Meeting of June 23rd by a vote of 11 to 1 the PCC decided to request of the Bishop of Salisbury that on grounds of Theological Conviction the Church be placed under the Episcopal Oversight of the Bishop of Ebbsfleet. This, the Bishop of Salisbury graciously agreed to, and so the Church continues to find it's identity within the ancient catholic and apostolic faith of the Universal Church as the Church of England has received it.
We have a strong and organic link with our Church School, and with the New Salisbury Sixth College S6C.
St. Martin’s still proclaims catholic faith and order within the Church of England. It is the oldest parish in the city of New Sarum, Salisbury, in fact our foundation pre-dates the establishment of the city by at least 200 years.
We are a neighbourhood church designed for the neighbourhood, our vision is local and based in bringing holiness to the lives of those who live around us.
We have a mixed all age congregation from many backgrounds. What we have in common is a desire to live out discipleship and catholic life. To this end, the Eucharist, the service Jesus himself gave us at the Last Supper is the centre of our life and worship.
Thus it is that at St. Martin’s we seek to serve the diverse community in which we are set setting before the community the love of God the Father shown in the God the Son and given to us by God the Holy Spirit.

The new Russian races were polluted by various reports of infringement, including voting form stuffing, with the decision supportive of Kremlin staying in power.
In the races for state parliament seats, results from almost close to 100% of the nation’s surveying stations gave the decision United Russia party 49.8 percent of the decision in favor of 225 seats distributed by parties. For the 225 seats picked straight by electors, United Russia applicants lead in 198 races, as per the Central Election Commission.
Ella Pamfilova, the seat of the Central Election Commission, affirmed United Russia has held the 66% protected larger part in the parliament.검증사이트
Nonetheless, the vote has been questioned as there have been various reports of infringement, including voting form stuffing. Recordings coursing via online media showed individuals attempting to push heaps of voting forms into boxes, and fights with political race screens were additionally gotten on camera.
For more detailing from the Associated Press, see underneath.
The vote has been observed intently for any signs that Putin’s control may slip, but somewhat, in front of the 2024 official political race. It’s not yet evident whether Putin will run once more, pick a replacement or framework an alternate way — however he is relied upon to keep his hand on the turner whatever he chooses, and a devoted State Duma, or parliament, will be pivotal to those plans.
Truth be told, the outcomes showed there would be basically no resistance voices in the Duma by any means, with three different gatherings that normally toe the Kremlin line set to take a large number of the leftover seats, alongside the New People party, which was shaped last year and is viewed by numerous individuals as a Kremlin-supported undertaking.
As per Pamfilova, up-and-comers from three different gatherings each won a seat, so in every one of the eight ideological groups will be addressed in the Duma. Elector turnout remained at 51.68 percent, Pamfilova said.
The Communist Party got 19% of the party-list vote, a sizable improvement from the 13% it got in the last political decision in 2016. Joined Russia got around 54% five years prior, so the outcomes demonstrate some falloff in help.
Yet, worries that the outcomes had been controlled mounted Monday, with many discrediting that a breakdown of the web based democratic in Moscow was as yet not accessible to people in general. The outcomes in the other six districts that were permitted to cast a ballot online have been point by point. In Moscow, endorsement of the decision party has consistently been especially low and dissent casting a ballot has been boundless, and applicants from the Communist Party were calling for fights of the vote later in the day.
Any misrepresentation charges to the side, the Kremlin clear was broadly expected since not many resistance competitors were even permitted to pursue this year Russian specialists released a general crackdown on Kremlin pundits.
Associations connected to detained resistance pioneer Alexei Navalny have been pronounced fanatic, and anybody related with them was banned from looking for public office by another law. Navalny is carrying out a 2½-year jail punishment for abusing parole over a past conviction he says is politically inspired.
Other unmistakable resistance legislators confronted arraignment or had to leave the country under tension from the specialists.
Navalny’s group actually wanted to make gouges in United Russia’s strength with their Smart Voting methodology, which advanced applicants who had the most obvious opportunity at overcoming those supported by the Kremlin. Be that as it may, a huge exertion by specialists to smother the methodology has been in progress as of late.
The public authority hindered the Smart Voting site and compelled Apple and Google to eliminate an application highlighting it from their Russian web-based stores — a move the tech goliaths took as casting a ballot started Friday. Google additionally denied admittance to two archives on its web-based assistance Google Docs that recorded up-and-comers embraced by Smart Voting, and YouTube obstructed comparable recordings. What’s more, the author of the Russian informing application Telegram, Pavel Durov, on Saturday handicapped a Smart Voting chatbot set up by partners of Navalny.
Durov said he needed to regard the laws denying crusading on casting a ballot days, yet pundits immediately brought up that they didn’t impair comparable chatbots copying Smart Voting and didn’t eliminate the Moscow civic chairman’s call to decide in favor of United Russia competitors.
Apple and Google didn’t react to a solicitation for input. Notwithstanding, an individual with direct information on the matter who talked on state of obscurity as a result of the affectability of the issue, said that Google had to eliminate the application since it confronted legitimate requests by controllers and dangers of criminal arraignment in Russia.
Some Kremlin pundits said that there were however many infringement as in 2011, when reports of mass extortion in the parliamentary political decision set off a very long time of hostile to government and against Putin fights. Pamfilova kept up with, notwithstanding, that there were less infringement this year than previously. She said that altogether, 25,830 polling forms in 35 areas have been refuted.
Putin’s representative Dmitry Peskov said Monday that the Kremlin sees the political decision “emphatically” as far as its “intensity, straightforwardness and decency.”
The political race this year was stretched out to three days, and in seven of Russia’s 80 or more locales electors were offered the alternative of projecting their polling forms on the web. Authorities said the actions were taken to decrease swarming at the surveys during the Covid pandemic, yet political decision screens said that they made more space for controlling the outcomes.

"The government's intention is to strengthen the economy. We do not want to be like the United States, where its economy has been shut down," he said after opening a briefing on current issues and consumerism campaign with hawkers and petty traders.
Hasan urged consumers to look at the positive side of the government's actions, and said any new measures brought about by the government was meant for the overall wellbeing of the people.
"Sometimes certain actions need to be carried out. For me, the country's interest is paramount."
On a separate matter, Hasan said the government would consider increasing the loan amount in micro-credit schemes from RM3,000 (S$1,200) to RM10,000.
He said details of the new loan rates would be announced in the budget, and he noted that good news was also in store for cooperatives and the franchise sector
Earlier, Hasan said the current subsidies were enjoyed by everyone and this did not accord with the government's intention to channel subsidies to those who truly deserved them.
"From a person who owns 10 houses or 10 cars to foreign workers, they are all enjoying our subsidy," he said, urging the people to change their mindset.
He said the recent subsidy rationalisation of fuel, which led to a 20 sen increase of RON 95 petrol, would save the government RM1.1 billion.
"The savings can then be given to people who need it," he said, adding that the rationalisation of subsidies did not justify traders increasing the prices of goods as it translated to only one per cent increase in expenses.

Tempress, "Very interesting". Thanks...I take it you enjoyed the poem. Thanks for reading.
Jana, the poem is based on Valerie Solanas, the founder of SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men). She was a feminist in the extreme. She did have a hard time with men, her father abused her and she was forced to work as a prostitute, to support herself.
I read parts of her SCUM manifesto, and as a man it is not easy to read some great quotes though. I was also at the Andy Warhol exhibition. I don't know whether my poem reflects her thoughts or not, this is the first time I have ever chosen to write from someone's else point of view who was a real person. I guess the driving force behind the poem is that Warhol did prints of icons such as Marilyn Monroe and made a load of duplicates of the prints. The whole image thing, to be able to mass-produce these great icons of Womanhood (well from a man's point of view).
Thanks for reading the poem, thanks for wonderful response.
Newswan, harder on women in Ireland? What they only have to milk the 50 cows 3 times a day, cook the dinner and do the housework. -Joking by the way. No I don't think women have it harder. Beside Valerie Solanas was American. I guess I am a male feminist, or a male lesbian (though part of me is full red blooded male). I guess I wrote about this because it is extreme, I tried to see things from her point of view.
Thanks for your comments, and for reading the poem. Below are two quotes from Valerie's manifesto.
"The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples".
"He [the male] is trapped in a twilight zone halfway between humans and apes, and is far worse off than the apes because, unlike the apes, he is capable of a large array of negative feelings - hate, jealousy, contempt, disgust, guilt, shame, doubt - and moreover he is aware of what he is and isn't".
"I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards
"Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".
"Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity"

The skateboarding park in Riverside Park on 108th street recently got a big makeover and is getting a new name to honor Upper West Side skating legend Andy Kessler.
City skateboarding enthusiasts have been rebuilding and rehabbing the park’s light blue ramps, pipes and other obstacles for the past few months. The city has also changed the policies at the park, making everyone wear helmets and knee and elbow pads. You also need to sign a liability waiver. The park has a nice mix of obstacles, from a 10-foot half pipe with vert to more gradual obstacles for younger skaters.
The plan is to name the park for Kessler, a skateboarder who helped design and build the Riverside skatepark in the mid-90’s. He died in 2009 at the age of 48 from an allergic reaction to a wasp sting.
Kessler grew up on West 71st street, and was one of the leaders of a group of skaters and graffiti artists known as the Soul Artists of Zoo York. The Zoo York crew is credited with reinventing urban skating, setting up crude obstacles and ramps with old wooden boards they salvaged from throughout Riverside and Central Parks and elsewhere in the city. “When other kids saw Kessler carving around the Upper West Side on his board — which would’ve been three inches wide with metal wheels — they followed, and just like that, the East Coast skate scene was born,” a piece about Kessler in the Times noted.
New York magazine published an article about the Zoo Yorkers a few years ago. It’s worth reading the whole thing, but here’s an excerpt:
“Everyone remembers the wood planks, especially Catalino Capiello Jr., known on the then-dodgy Upper West Side streets of the late seventies as PaPo. One day in 1978, the genial half-Italian, half–Puerto Rican teenager was roaming his ’hood, skateboard in hand. At Riverside Drive and 95th Street, he came upon a construction site at the off-ramp of the West Side Highway. But something was missing—namely, large chunks of the plywood barricades. Peering inside, PaPo saw them for the first time: grubby kids like himself. Skateboarding. In the park. On a ramp.
I thought it was phenomenal,” Capiello, now 41, recalls of the first time he saw the Zoo York skaters. “I’d never seen anything like that.” Actually, “ramp” was too kind a term for what Kessler, who was skating that day, calls “rickety pieces of shit.” They were the most basic of eight-by-four planks, usually purloined from unattended construction sites on weekends. (One night, the skaters found a good stash at a site outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, then had to haul the wood across Central Park and into Riverside.) First at the 95th Street off-ramp and later at 116th and Riverside, the skaters shoved the wood up against whatever structure could sustain it and battered it into place with bottles and rocks. Then they would toke up and, with the Hudson River providing as much of a scenic background as they were likely to find, push off on their boards and aim full speed at the concave wood: Up the ramp . . . almost to the top . . . back down. Try again!”
There’s a Facebook page chronicling the rebuilding effort here. The park is currently open from Thursday through Monday, 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., but hours change often so check the up-to-date hours here. Its closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Despite the big-air photo above, there are lots of small kids who skate there too.

SOFTWARE FOR GRAPHIC POSTPROCESSING IN SEISM NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE BUILDINGS EQUIPPED WITH ANTISEISMIC DEVICES
Keywords:seism simulaion, graphical post-processing, graphical comparison, animation, level displacement
This paper presents a graphic software made by the authors in Delphi programming in order to optimize the antiseismic device system of a building. The input data consists in the relative displacements for each story during the seism simulated with a certain accelerogram. The program can graphically process up to three data blocks obtained with GenEcAm software for the same building equipped with three different antiseismic systems. The advantage of this software is the graphical comparison of the story relative displacements during seism using different antiseismic system, in order to choose the best dissipative system for the building.

The United States, Britain and 17 other countries pledged Wednesday at the United Nations Global Climate Summit to reduce emissions from the shipping sector by creating zero-emission shipping routes, a move that comes amid growing concern about pollution. atmosphere of the shoreline from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The agreement, called Clydebank statementstates that countries will work together to invest in clean energy infrastructure in ports at either end of major trade routes, establishing at least six “green corridors” by the middle of the decade, which will ultimately make it possible for ships to transition away from the ports. fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources. If these changes are implemented, governments could require that only zero-emission ships travel from Shanghai to Los Angeles, for example, or from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to New York. The initiative is part of an effort announced last week to shrink the maritime sector zero emissions by 2050.
The other countries that signed the summit pledge in Scotland are Denmark, Japan, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Chile, Costa Rice, Belgium, Fiji, Finland, Ireland, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden.
Globally, the shipping industry is a major source of global warming greenhouse gases, largely because one of the dirtiest types of diesel fuel powers most of its ships. It is a fuel with a much higher carbon content than diesel used in cars. Cargo ships collectively emit an average of 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, about as much as all coal-fired power plants in the United States combined.
Calling the statement “a big step forward,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Wednesday that the United States will help lead the effort to limit the sector’s environmental impact.
“In expeditions, in particular, there is a paradox. On the one hand, pound-for-pound is typically the least carbon-intensive means of moving goods, “he said.” Yet there is so much of it, consuming so much fuel, that it is a huge source of emissions. “.
The announcement comes as the US busiest ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach face greater control over cargo ship traffic jams and worsening air pollution.
When cargo ships burn fuel, they emit more than carbon dioxide, erupting a combination of smog-forming pollutants, including ozone, nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, which has been linked to an increase in deaths .
Amid a growl in the global supply chain that has persisted for months, dozens of freighters stood off the coast of Southern California as they waited to dock, sometimes for several weeks. According to the Marine Exchange of Southern California, 103 ships were at anchor on Tuesday bound for Los Angeles and Long Beach, roughly the same number as the week before. During normal times, it is normal for a ship to be on hold or none at all.
Traffic congestion has mostly drawn attention for the resulting shortages and higher costs that could affect Christmas shopping. But environmental advocates are far more concerned about the health effects of people living near the ports of Wilmington, San Pedro and Long Beach.
Air quality data for 2020 released by the Port of Los Angeles show that pollution has increased significantly since last October as the number of ships waiting to unload has started to rise. Similar figures for this year are not yet available.
“This only worsens what was already a bad situation from an air pollution point of view,” said Adrian Martinez, a lawyer with environmental nonprofit Earthjustice, who pressured local air quality regulators to take action. . “It’s a double win for our region, and the public health crisis doesn’t appear to be receiving central attention. The only crisis is the impossibility of moving goods “.
By 2023, ocean-going ships are projected to overtake heavy diesel trucks to become the largest source of smog-forming nitric oxide pollution in Southern California, according to projections from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Worldwide, shipping industry greenhouse gas emissions are projected to double by 2050. The threat of this increase has put new pressure on the United Nations body responsible for regulating shipping to adopt more ambitious climate goals in in line with countries’ commitments to reduce emissions under 2015 Paris climate agreement.
But there have been few signs of this. The organization, known as the International Maritime Organization, has repeatedly delayed regulations to limit emissions in recent years.
At the heart of what has made maritime reform difficult are many of the same problems that countries face with thrilling cars and trucks. The technology exists to transform ships from diesel fuel to cleaner energy sources such as hydrogen, green ammonia and batteries, but these fuels are not available on the necessary scale.
Although a group of large companies, including Amazon and Ikea, made a commitment last month to use zero-emission ships by 2040, it is currently not possible for such ships to travel on major routes, as most ports are not equipped to supply them.
In response to Americans’ growing frustration with the disrupted supply chain, President Biden announced last month that the Port of Los Angeles would remain open “24 hours a day, seven days a week” to help address the backlog. Major retailers have agreed to clear their goods from ports more quickly, freeing up space for additional containers. A similar plan was already underway at the Port of Long Beach.
Chris Cannon, head of sustainability at the Port of Los Angeles, said it’s too early to know if the port’s extended hours have managed to reduce the time ships spend waiting to dock.
The port is still struggling with huge piles of containers and is looking for new locations away from the terminal where they can be moved so that incoming ships can be unloaded faster.
Ed Avol, a professor at USC’s Keck School of Medicine, said it’s difficult to predict how air pollution from idle cargo ships will affect residents along the coast.
“There is no direct line that we can draw to say, ‘If you are exposed to this kind of concentration, you will get this result,'” Avol said. “But we know from a lot of research that there are associations between increased exposure and short- and long-term health impacts.”
For residents living near ports who already suffer from asthma and other respiratory or heart problems, a months-long increase in air pollution could “push them over the edge,” Avol said.
Under a plan adopted by the Port Commissioners of Los Angeles and Long Beach in 2017, the port complex is expected to be transformed into a zero-emission facility by 2035. In their first big step towards achieving this, ports voted last year to impose a tax of about $ 20 on containers that would be used to help trucking companies purchase less polluting vehicles.
But when the pandemic started, the ports delayed the tax. Under a plan recently announced, they won’t start harvesting it until April.

Tigers | Miguel Cabrera may need surgery
Detroit Tigers 3B Miguel Cabrera (groin) may need surgery to fix a tear in his groin. Cabrera hit .262 with two home runs in 11 playoff games this year. General manager Dave Dombrowski said resting Cabrera for a couple weeks at the end of the season wouldn't have helped him get healthy for the playoffs.
Fantasy Tip: Keep tabs on Miggy's status this winter and how long he'll need to recover if he undergoes surgery. If he's healthy entering spring training next year, he should continue to be one of the first several picks off the draft board.

See index for CTFT sketch: Born November 8, 1920, in Pompano Beach, FL; died November 17, 1998, in Los Angeles, CA. Actress. Esther Rolle was wellknown for her roles in the 1970s television series Maudeand Good Times. But she was also noted by peers as a fearless advocate for fair African American representation in cinema. At one time, she temporarily left thecast of Good Times because she objected to the stereotypical portrayalof another African American character on the show. Rolle had an early interest in acting and started her career working with African American dance and acting troupes in New York City. Her portrayal of indomitable maid characterswas noted by many on television, and she played such roles in the movie Driving Miss Daisy and the television movie Summer of My German Soldier. Norman Lear, who worked with Rolle in many of her roles, called her a woman of strong conviction. When the show Good Times was created, Rolleinsisted that the family that she played the mother of also be headed by a father character. Her work in the show caused her to receive the NAACP's CivilRights Leadership Award in 1990 for helping portray African Americans in a positive light.

Hoon's late-night drive across the greens
CARELESS vandals have taken a late-night joy ride across the Bargara Golf Club's course, causing damage to the practise putting greens.
Bargara Golf Shop owner Janice Curd found the damage when she arrived at the shop this morning and said it was a slap in the face for the greenskeepers and volunteers who worked tirelessly for the club.
She said the club cops this kind of vandalism often.
"We tend to get a bit of damage over the years with people writing profanities on greens or doing other things,” she said
"Unfortunately, while it mightn't be a huge amount of costs to fix that (the greens), it's more time consuming and the disrespect that seems to be happening more and more for the community as well as other people's property and also the time that it takes for the greenskeepers or the volunteers to fix it where they could be doing something else.
"There's a lot of time taken to preserve the course in a fantastic look, anything that then destroys that is heartbreaking to those volunteers, to the members, and it doesn't look very nice when you've got visitors coming from out of town to come and play and they see things like that.”
Ms Curd said reckless damage, such as the incident this morning, had an impact on not only the business but the entire community.
"It doesn't give a good impression on us, it doesn't give a good impression on the community at a large, it's just not a good look for Bundaberg,” she said.
"When people come to pay their green fees or pay golf here, it's (the damage is) right there in front of our Bargara sign.”
A call out had been made to social media to try to locate the culprits.
"People need to be more respectful and more considerate of other peoples property,” Ms Curd said.
"While they might think it's fun to be running rampant and doing these silly things, it can be detrimental to that business and to the community at large.”
The vandalism has not yet been reported to police.
