PRP rebel legislator appears before Andhra speakerDecember 19th, 2011 - 3:02 pm ICT by IANS
Hyderabad, Dec 19 (IANS) Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) rebel legislator Shoba Nagi Reddy Monday met Andhra Pradesh assembly Speaker N. Manohar to give her reply to the disqualification notice.
Speaking to reporters later, she said the PRP had no right to seek her disqualification as the party no longer exists, following its merger with the Congress.
“When there is no party, how can it issue a whip?” said Shoba, who is opposed to the PRP’s merger with the Congress.
The notice was issued by Speaker Manohar to the legislator from Avanigadda in Kurnool district following a petition of the PRP to disqualify her for violating the party whip.
Shoba, a loyalist of YSR Congress leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, had violated the PRP whip by voting for the no-confidence motion moved by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) against the Congress government.
The government defeated the no-confidence motion in a vote Dec 5.
The PRP, which has already announced its merger with the Congress, had issued a whip asking all its 18 legislators to vote against the motion.
Meanwhile, the speaker is likely to issue notices to 16 rebel Congress legislators for voting in favour of the no-confidence motion.
The ruling party Dec 12 had submitted a petition to the speaker, seeking disqualification of its legislators loyal to Jaganmohan Reddy.
The speaker will take a decision on the petition after hearing the rebel lawmakers.

I’m kind of not kidding. Although I didn’t name these waffles, they are honestly the best I’ve ever had. Not that I’m a big waffle aficionado or anything, but I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect waffle recipe after we got married. We received a really nice waffle iron as a gift, and I was determined to find a really nice recipe to go with it.
It took five years to find the recipe I was looking for. I wanted crisp waffles with a just slightly creamy middle. I wanted something that would hold up to syrup and butter, something that would freeze well and something that didn’t have an “eggy” taste. This was it.
This recipe makes twice as many as we need for our little family, but I throw the rest in the freezer and my daughter loves to eat them for breakfast during the week – you can just nuke them in the microwave for a bit or break them into triangles and pop them in the toaster. EASY, and – you know I’m going to say it – much better than the frozen waffles you buy at the grocery store. Not only are they way cheaper, you control the ingredients and don’t have to worry about what you’re feeding your family.
My youngest, Mia, loves to help me make these. The second she hears me pull the waffle iron out of the pantry, she’s pulling her stool up next to me at the counter and looking for her whisk. I have to admit that even though everything in a 10-foot radius is covered in flour when we’re done, I really love that she wants to help me in the kitchen.
I should also make mention of the fact that she loves to wear my old t-shirts to bed. I think it’s kind of adorable.
You can see that the batter for these is very light and almost has a foamy appearance – which is thanks to the egg whites. It keeps the batter light and fluffy, which in turn makes your waffles light and fluffy. We’ve topped our waffles with everything you can think of, but good old fashioned maple syrup and butter seems to always win out. Occasionally we’ll use honey instead of syrup, and during the summer we love garden fresh berries and fresh whipped cream.
The batter for these really takes less than 10 minutes to throw together, and that’s only because you have to beat the egg whites. So next time you get a craving for waffles, give these a try.
- 1 and ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 1¾ cups milk
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 egg whites
- In a medium sized bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a large measuring cup or small bowl, combine wet ingredients: egg YOLKS, milk, canola oil and vanilla. Save egg whites for next step. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Heat your waffle iron to desired temperature. We use a medium-high setting.
- Pour wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture and stir/whisk to combine. Mixture will be slightly lumpy.
- Carefully fold the egg white mixture into the batter. Take care not to deflate the egg whites, but fold them together until the batter is light and fluffy.
- Spoon batter on to waffle iron.
- Serve and enjoy!

text: As I mentioned two months ago something smells fishy at Dana and I would stay away from this company. Last quarter, I mentioned they only had good earnings because of a tax related issue. Now with revenues down 15% and profits down 45%, its obvious this management lacks. They also re-purchased millions of dollars of stock at its 52wk high this quarter, basically artificially supporting the stock price all the way up. I was curious as to what idiot was buying all that stock at those levels.... It doesn't take an expert to see this company is an excellent short opportunity.

Revelations on the New iPhone
There was finally some official information about the next-generation iPhone’s timeline after Sharp announced it would start shipping screens for the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) device next month. Sharp was identified as a supplier by Apple last year and is one of three companies expected to manufacture screens for the new device. The other two are LG Display (NYSE:LPL) and Japan Display.
Don’t Miss: Why are AT&T and Verizon HATING on Apple?
“Shipments will start in August,” Sharp president Takashi Okuda said after his company released its latest quarterly earnings on Thursday, according to Reuters. Okuda declined to offer a more specific date.
The new iPhone is widely expected to be released in October ahead of the holiday shopping season. Some reports have also suggested that Apple is planning a major product launch on September 12, leading to speculation that the next version of the phone may arrive then.
It is also being rumored that Apple will increase the size of the screen on its new phone to 4 inches from 3.5 inches in an effort to compete more strongly against rival Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android phones of Samsung and HTC. It could also have a faster and more efficient processor and be capable of handling 4G wireless networks. The device may also be thinner than current iPhone models as Apple is said to be working on embedding touch sensors into the liquid crystal display and eliminating the separate touch-screen layer.
Earlier this year, Apple manufacturing partner Foxconn bought a 10 percent stake in Sharp for $808 million.

BEIJING (Reuters) – China has completed some of its land reclamation on the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, raising the stakes in Beijing’s territorial dispute with its Asian neighbors.
China stepped up its creation of artificial islands last year, alarming several countries in Asia and drawing criticism from Washington. The United States, which has called for a halt in China’s island building, said earlier this month that it was concerned about Beijing’s plans for more construction work, including for military defense.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a daily briefing that the land reclamation projects on some islands and reefs in the South China Sea had been completed “in recent days”.
China had been working on land reclamation projects on seven reefs among the tiny islets at the center of the maritime territorial dispute involving the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei.

I sit at the table in my tattered jeans and oversized sweater, feeling out of place. When I look up from my plate, Sean’s eyes are on me. He explained to his accountant that I was an old friend and that I’d be joining them for dinner. Her eyes swept over me before giving me a look that said she thought I wasn’t a threat. Whatever. She can take her perfect body and shove it. Besides, all Sean’s attentions are directed at me.

Dayla has a tablet on the table, where she presses buttons, asking Sean to clarify expenses. “You can’t take a deduction on that Sean.”
“I wouldn’t have come here if the damn merger went through.” Sean says, ripping off a piece of bread from the loaf on the table. “The additional trip isn’t an expense?”
She sighs, “You’re private jet isn’t an expense. I need the fuel bill when you get back, along with these other papers.” Her eyes flick to me. “Can you believe him? He avoids New York at all costs and then spends money like it’s water when he finally gets here.”
I have no idea who Sean is, why he’s avoiding New York, or the reason for the sudden spending spree. I just smile politely and say, “Yeah, Sean’s always pissed away money like a drunk sailor when he hits the Big Apple.”
Sean grins at me. Dayla rolls her eyes. “It wouldn’t be so bad if he told me what some of these expenses were. Like this one. What cost you $8,000 last weekend?”
Sean’s eyes remain amusedly locked on mine. My stomach flutters. “Entertainment,” he says.
It takes me a moment, but I realize who he spent that money on. That was the down payment for me. Sean sees the comprehension in my eyes and winks at me when Dayla has her eyes glued to her tablet. Excitement flutters through me and I smile awkwardly.
Dayla looks up and says, “I need more information, Sean. Honestly, how am I supposed to be your accountant if you don’t tell me specifics? I need specifics.” She glances at me, looking for help.
I lean back in my chair and say, “I’m not getting involved. He’s your client. You fix him”
She laughs lightly and gives me an if only look. “God bless the woman that brings him to his senses.”
Sean doesn’t look phased, but his eyes shift: between us, like it worries him He cuts our conversation short. “Unless there are more questions, we need to be on our way.”
“Nothing you didn’t already avoid telling me.” Her pretty face pinches as she scrolls through her tablet, shaking her head.
Sean stands and says, “Do the best you can. I don’t expect you to find a way to deduct, claim, or mark everything as an expense.” She nods slowly, like her mind is still reeling from the meeting. “Please, take your time. I’ll take care of the bill.”
“Email me a copy,” she insists. “This was a working meal.”
Sean nods and heads to the front. I don’t know why I didn’t see him when I was working here. I would have remembered him “Do you come here a lot?” I ask.
“No, why?” He tells the hostess that he’d like to settle his bill with the waiter. She rushes off to find him Sean turns back to me, waiting for an answer.
“I worked here, until a few days ago.”
He grins at me. “You got a better job, I hear. One with benefits.”
I laugh, “Benefits for you, maybe.”
“Miss Smith, you dismiss me too quickly. I assure you that this arrangement will benefit both parties.” The hostess returns with our waiter. Sean’s eyes rake over me, openly admiring my body. I look away, unable to process what’s happening. We just had dinner. That’s all. We ate. Pull yourself together, Stanz.
Sean settles the bill and gives the waiter a big enough tip to render him speechless. His jaw drops as Sean walks away with me on his arm.
The nippy night air blasts me in the face as soon as we’re outside. I shiver and try to race toward my car, but Sean grabs my wrist. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“Home, lunatic. I’m not supposed to be with you right now.”
“Says you,” I say to him, smiling. He’s wrapped his arms around my waist and pulls me to him I mimic his phone call from earlier, “I want her delivered to my doorstep wearing nothing but a bow.”
Sean smiles. The way it spreads across his face makes me melt. Oh my god. “I did say that; didn’t I?” I nod. “Well, we haven’t had dessert.”
I twist out of his arms, laughing lightly. “I am not eating dessert with you.”
“Who said we’d be eating? You’re the dessert,” Sean says tugging my arm playfully. “And I can’t wait to taste you.”
I can’t wipe the smile off my face. Laughing, I pull away from him again. “I have to leave. Go eat a KitKat.” He follows me across the parking lot to my car. I stop in front of my door, expecting him to try and kiss me, but he doesn’t. Sean remains two steps away. “Thanks for dinner.”
“My pleasure.” There’s a look in his eye. It makes me want to be chased.
I open my car door and grab the can of ether. I spray the engine, walk back to my seat, slip in and close the door. Sean is sitting next to me in the passenger seat. “So, dessert.”
“Seriously?” I laugh. “This is the car from hell, or have you forgotten?”
“Oh, I have not forgotten. This car is vividly seared into my memory.” Sean takes my hand and lifts it to his mouth and presses his lips gently. A light tugging sensation snakes through my body, pulling me toward those lips like they’re magnetic. Sean lifts his sapphire eyes and looks at me.
I forget to breathe. I forget everything. I take a jagged breath and pull my hand out of his. “I need to go.”
“I’m going with you.” Sean takes his seat belt and pulls it across his lap, ready to shove it into place.
“I wouldn’t do that.”

After more than a year of virtual events and Zoom meetups, clubs and campus organizations are now able to host in-person events, game nights and fundraisers while exercising health and safety measures, which student organizations needed to submit acknowledgement for by Oct. 13.
The policies were first communicated to organizations through a September announcement from the Office of Student Life & Cultural Centers. As student organizations seek to engage the student body and allow many to absorb the campus culture for the first time, they are encouraged to practice social distancing and use outdoor venues, and they are required to use online reservations and the campus’ health screener for events.
ASI BEAT has held three in-person events so far: Picnic by the Plaza, Voting Registration Day and Paint by Numbers. It will be holding its latest event, Cemetery Cinema, on Oct. 29 where it will be streaming “A Quiet Place” on campus and providing individuals who have registered for the event through MyBar with a free blanket, popcorn and candy.
Destiny Boyer, special projects assistant with ASI BEAT, said the organization has mainly held events under the 200-person mark. According to regulations, events that surpass 200 participants must receive Los Angeles County approval and meet with the university’s Events Task Force when event planning.
“For on-campus events, the time it takes to plan varies but it would be at least three months in advance,” said Boyer. “That is because if you’re working with vendors there are contracts, there’s marketing, confirming with everyone that is involved and it all takes time.”
Keeping events under the 200-person mark saves organizations time to get events up and running.
Barkada, a Filipino-American club, has also been successful at involving students on campus. According to Isaiah Pagdanganan, the club’s secretary, general body meetings consist of 80-100 students on average.
The club recently hosted a Filipino Street Games event, taking inspiration from the Netflix series “Squid Game” on Oct. 20. The club had about 30 people RSVP to the event and participate in games like Pepsi 7 Up, which resembles the red light, green light game from “Squid Game,” and “patintero” which is similar to the game tag, but the difference is the taggers were only allowed to move from side to side, specified Pagdanganan.
In the past, clubs and organizations would have to fill out a physical form and turn it in to reserve a space on campus; now, the process is handled through the software 25Live.
Pagdanganan said the new online software has been easing his first year as the club’s secretary.
“You can cross-reference which venues are booked for which days, so they aren’t double booked and then you don’t have trouble finding something else in short notice,” said Pagdanganan. “Before you would have to turn in these forms three weeks in advance, but we’ve been doing them one to two weeks now, so it’s a faster process overall.”
Clubs and organizations have also been prohibited from selling food and beverages for fundraisers due to health and safety measures.
Hermanas Unidas, a Latinx club, held its first fundraiser with Krispy Kreme, taking orders from Sept. 29 to Oct. 13. Club supporters would Venmo the club, fill out a short form and would then receive a link, which they would show at any Krispy Kreme to get a dozen donuts for $12.
In efforts to steer away from selling food and beverages like they have in the past, Hermanas Unidas’ Fundraising Chair Emily Nuñez has plans for a variety of different fundraisers in the future.
“We definitely want to try and have a sticker fundraiser where I create the stickers,” said Nuñez. “There’s also raffles we want to plan, and we want to try to have an in-person fundraiser with a food restaurant where people show up, show them a flier and we get a cut of the proceeds.”
Tari Hunter, director of the Office of Student Life & Cultural Centers, explained the Bronco Student Center, which was mainly staffed by students, is not currently available for booking due to lack of staffing. The BSC was the most used space by clubs and organizations on campus to hold events and meetings.
Hunter expressed her hope for its availability soon, “Yes some of the bigger spaces we are used to hosting at are not available for booking online (through the 25Live software) but we are really looking forward to every space being online hopefully by the spring semester.”

Canadian astronomers will soon use an amazing new telescope to unravel the mysteries of our origins — from planets to the largest structures in the universe.
By Erik Rosolowsky
Assistant Prof. of Physics and Astronomy, UBC Okanagan
Astronomy has long grappled with telling the story of our origins and our relationship to the Universe as a whole. Over the past few decades, we developed the scientific narrative of our origins from the Big Bang up through the present day. However, many links in that story are inferences: they must have occurred since we are here, but we have been unable to actually observe the systems representing these connections — astronomy’s own “missing link” problem, if you will.
In the Atacama desert of Chile, 5,000 metres above sea level, astronomers from across the world are now building a revolutionary new telescope that may help see that missing link. The desolate landscape, where annual rainfall is less than 100 millimetres, is precisely what attracts astronomers such as myself because the dry atmosphere is nearly devoid of water vapor.
We cannot look back into our own history to see how our own solar system formed. However, a vast number of other solar systems are in the million-year-long process of formation right now. So, we will see the story of our solar system’s birth playing out across the hundreds of systems in our galactic neighborhood.At lower, wetter sites, the water vapor blocks the short-wavelength radio waves from the cosmos that the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (or the easier-to-swallow ALMA) will observe. When ALMA commences observations in 2011, it will enable astronomers unprecedented insight into our origins.
Observations with current telescopes reveal some evidence for nascent planetary systems around these stars, but the new technologies and unparalleled location for ALMA will for the first time identify forming planets — known as proto-planets. Like putting on our glasses in the morning, we will have a new, crisp view of star and planet formation.
The secret to ALMA’s much improved vision is that many of ALMA’s 66 antennas, ranging in size from seven to 12 meters in diameter, can be moved around. Changing the relative positions of the antennas allows different modes of observing — a bit like using a zoom lens on a camera. ALMA will form images by continuously combining signals from each antenna with those from every other antenna. There are 1,225 such antenna pairs, with each antenna receiving radio signals from the astronomical object being observed.
The array also relies on the world’s most extensive superconducting receiving system, which gathers the astronomical signals, and extensive computing support. ALMA’s processors will construct astronomical images by digitizing and processing receiver data at a rate of over 16,000 million-million operations per second.
Catching solar systems in the act of formation will represent a major discovery and resolve outstanding questions about how, exactly, planets form around stars. ALMA’s vastly improved capability to peer into the dusty, cold clouds of molecular gas where stars form is central to this discovery.
Proto-planets are not the only missing link that ALMA will study. This new facility will unlock access to many other unseen processes in the Universe. With the telescope, I personally will be studying how the star-forming molecular clouds of gas themselves come to form within galaxies.
Using ALMA, we will be able to observe this process in other galaxies, which is crucial since our embedded perspective in our own galaxy prevents us from seeing this happening nearby. Other astronomers will turn their attention to the most distant observable galaxies in the Universe, seen in the infancy of the Universe thanks to the finite speed of light. Studying these proto-galaxies will answer abiding questions about the forces that shaped our own galaxy.
ALMA is revolutionary in other ways. In addition to opening up new sections of the radio spectrum to deep observation, it will be more than 10 times larger and far more sensitive than any preceding radio telescope operating at these wavelengths. ALMA also represents the largest collaborative effort in ground-based astronomy to date.
Canada participates with the United States, European governments, Japan, Taiwan and Chile in the construction of the array. Groundbreaking receiver technology has been developed at the Hertzberg Institute for Astrophysics in Victoria, B.C., and is incorporated in the array.
In five years, the story of how we came to be will be illustrated with observations from ALMA and many lingering questions in this narration will be answered. And, as is the nature of science, many new questions will await us.

The recent rollbacks could potentially result in US companies laxing on environmental practices.
Against the backdrop of Covid-19 and the US’ rollback of environmental regulation, investment in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) remains a wise choice, writes Sarah Brattan Hughes, Head of Sustainability, North America, Schroders.
“We have seen sustainable investing outperform going into the Covid-19 crisis, and throughout the crisis. The resilience of results supports our view that sustainable investing is a proxy for quality.”
The recent rollbacks could potentially result in US companies laxing on environmental practices. However, the focus on sustainability in other parts of the world will help keep up the sustainability standards globally, Hughes adds.
“For example, the European Union has embarked on a sustainable finance plan and has a strong ambition to be a global leader of sustainable investing. It is a matter of time before ESG integration becomes a hygiene factor in

This morning, the Maine Women’s Lobby delivered a petition signed by Mainers to the Augusta offices of Senators Snowe and Collins. The petition signers urge their senators to support a prompt vote on President Obama's nomination of Dawn Johnsen to head the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel.
The petitions were signed by members and supporters of Alliance for Justice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood, People for the American Way, the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism, CREDO, and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.
Prof. Johnsen is eminently qualified to serve in this position. But her nomination is being held hostage by a threatened filibuster by Senate Republicans to further their partisan political agenda. Some of those who oppose her appointment also seem to have a problem with female nominees. Despite her experience that directly qualifies her for this job, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said he does not think she has the "seriousness" to take on this responsibility.
Instead of further delay, the Senate should hold a vote and get back to other priority issues such as the economy, health care, and education.

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Jay Rutovitz, Research Director, Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology Sydney
To get Australia’s grid 82% powered by renewables by 2030 is a huge increase. At present, the electricity powering eastern and southern states is around 33% renewable.
To get there means a lot of work. Over the next seven years, it would be equivalent to installing dozens of large wind turbines every month, and tens of thousands of solar panels every day.
And work needs workers. To make this happen, our modelling shows 15,000 more workers are needed by 2025 – less than three years away. That’s amid a skills shortage, an infrastructure boom and unemployment rates at the lowest level in decades.
So how to do it? We need to train more skilled workers and give them more security. Renewable projects have tended to operate on boom-bust cycles when it comes to jobs. But to get where we need to be, we need to shift to a long-term boom mentality. We’re going to need people doing these jobs for decades to come.
How big is this issue?
Big. Getting to 82% renewables and fast means we need to greatly scale up the electricity sector workforce in generation, storage and transmission line construction.
We estimate the current workforce is around 41,000, including 12,000 working in coal and gas power stations or supplying those power stations with fuel. This is only an estimate, as updated figures won’t be available until the federal government delivers its promised energy employment report.
Australia’s energy market operator, AEMO, publishes regularly updated pathways to a clean-energy future. Now we have federal backing for accelerated timelines, the most likely outcome is the so-called “step change scenario”. This scenario envisages nine times more wind and solar by 2050, to boost capacity to 141 gigawatts, and four times more rooftop solar.
Under this scenario, 15,000 more workers must be ready and able to build and operate renewables and storage, or build transmission lines, by 2025.
The problem is, these workers don’t exist at present. Many existing skilled workers are already paid well by major infrastructure projects, such as metro rail projects in Melbourne and Sydney and regional projects such as inland rail. What’s more, unemployment rates are the lowest in decades, and peak demand for labour to build wind and solar projects is set to outstrip the entire current workforce in some regional areas where the renewable projects will be concentrated.
To add to the challenge, skilled workers tend to live in major population centres – but clean energy projects are virtually all in the regions. So the clean energy sector must compete with big infrastructure projects in the cities, which pay more and don’t involve travel. You can see the challenge. If we don’t get this right, the clean energy transition just won’t happen.
The common answer to workforce shortages is to train more workers. But here, too, there are challenges. Our skilled training sector has long been in the doldrums, with demand spread thin across far-flung regions and policy uncertainty leaving many gaps in capacity.
15,000 new skilled workers are just the start
We modelled the workforce needed to achieve three of the AEMO scenarios: the step change, the hydrogen superpower and the slow change. We also modelled an offshore wind scenario, using AEMO’s modified step change “sensitivity” which takes into account Victoria’s ambitious target for offshore wind.
Under the step change scenario, we found the demand for skilled jobs will increase 37,000 from 2023 and peak at 81,000 in 2049.
But if Australia becomes a major exporter of renewable energy in the form of green hydrogen or green ammonia, as backers like iron ore billionaire Twiggy Forrest are hoping, that’s a different story. It would require up to twice the workers of the step-change scenario in the 2030s, and up to triple in the 2040s.
That’s a staggering peak demand of 237,000 jobs, with an average demand of 110,000. To get there, we would need 34,000 extra workers within three years.
Where will the jobs be? New South Wales will be the leading state in most scenarios, with a demand for over 20,000 skilled workers annually until 2050 under the step-change scenario. Across NSW, Queensland and Victoria, the job split by technologies is very similar in this scenario: 37% of jobs in solar, 27–30% for wind, and 17–22% in batteries. The pattern is similar in the offshore wind and slow-change scenarios.
What about the hydrogen superpower scenario? This would change things dramatically. Here, the highest demand for renewable jobs would be in Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. Compared to the step-change scenario, Queensland would add over 100,000 jobs, while jobs in South Australia would more than treble and Tasmania quadruple from 2,200 to 9,400. Relatively modest growth is projected for NSW and Victoria – 4,000 new jobs in both states compared to the step change.
We can’t just leave it to the market
Coordinated action is needed to plan and implement skills, training and workforce development. Here, state and territory governments can build on the recent creation of Renewable Energy Zones – essentially, renewable rich areas where transmission lines exist or will be built – to boost collaboration between industry and government on training strategies and programs.
Workforce planning should be brought into overall energy system planning, to help reduce the employment boom-bust cycle. Most electricity planning favours “just in time” construction, where infrastructure is built as it is needed. That means demand for labour is volatile. The NSW government has created an electricity infrastructure jobs advocate and created EnergyCo to co-ordinate the development of the renewable energy zones and maximise local benefits.
Given current shortages of workers, it’s vital governments take action now. Acting early would help future-proof our clean energy workforce and maximise benefits for regional areas. Even better, we could help boost numbers of workers from under-represented groups such as women and First Nations communities.

In this they were supported by 26 members of the United States Congress. Most of the senior clergy had remained tight-lipped out of fear or out of complicity.
Traditionally, the church had been seen as complicit in the aims of the state and military to privilege the wealthy and powerful while the majority of the population remained in abject poverty. Oscar Romero made numerous contributions to the Catholic church and its members of San Miguel.
His life and death also hold a prophetic message for us now and in the future. The article furthermore attributes full knowledge of the assassination to the CIA as far back as Members of the church who supported the poor were being tortured or murdered.
The article cites another source in the Salvadoran military as saying, "they knew far too much to live. But this death was. His weekly radio sermons were famous throughout El Salvador.
Romero argued that it was problematic to support the Salvadoran government because it legitimized terror and assassinations. His highest promotion came in when he was appointed Archbishop of San Salvador.
If a poor person said that beans were expensive, they were killed. When he took office as the archbishop of San Salvador inviolence and murder were claiming the lives of 3, people each month.
Later he was taught at home.
Oscar Romero spoke out against the violations of human rights that were going on in the country. He is considered by some the unofficial patron saint of the Americas and El Salvador and is often referred to as "San Romero" by Catholics in El Salvador.
However, Oscar Romero had to deal with the oppressive rule of the government. Today his memory lives on. His prophetic message is that it is our duty as Christians to bring these values to life.
He was promoted to Rector of a seminary in San Salvador. As a result of his humanitarian efforts, Romero began to be noticed internationally. Romero criticized the United States for giving military aid to the new government and wrote to President Jimmy Carter in Februarywarning that increased US military aid would "undoubtedly sharpen the injustice and the political repression inflicted on the organized people, whose struggle has often been for their most basic human rights".
Later he founded the political party Nationalist Republican Alliance ARENAand organized death squads that systematically carried out politically motivated assassinations and other human rights abuses in El Salvador. Oscar Romero was ordained a year later. Oscar Romero also promoted his ideas of a conservative Catholic theology rather than one that promoted Marxist beliefs.
However, there are contradictory accounts as to the course of the events and "probably, one will never know the truth about the interrupted funeral. Government and right-wing groups were responsible for the escalation of violence inwhich later became a civil war.
We have to act to put our principles into practice. On 23 Februaryhe was appointed Archbishop of El Salvador. Oscar Romero even advised President Jimmy Carter not to provide additional military aid to the government because it would increase the persecution and terror.
He spoke out against poverty, social injustice, assassinations and torture. Oscar Romero would gain international attention as he vocalized his concerns for the people who help the poor as high up like Pope John Paul II.
In principle, the church is with the poor. Despite the dangers and the threats, Oscar Romero continued to speak out for Catholic theology and against the repression of basic human rights. After Valladares fell ill, they were transferred to a hospital and later released.
The guard, who Gibb identified as "Jorge," purported to have witnessed Linares fraternizing with the group, which was nicknamed the "Little Angels," and to have heard them praise Linares for the killing.
He was a humanitarian for those living in poverty and fear in El Salvador. In the early s in El Salvador, a single death in an era of disappearances, repression and massacres was not remarkable.
During his directorship, the tone of the paper became more conservative. Three years later they were pursued and extrajudicially killed — Linares after being found in neighboring Guatemala.
Members of the church including the clergy and the nuns were being attacked and even murdered.Early life Oscar Romero was born into a large family on August 15, in El Salvador. Although they had more money than many of their neighbours, Oscar’s family had neither electricity nor running water in their small home, and the children slept on the floor.
This richly illustrated biography, revised and updated in light of his beatification, tells Oscar Romero's courageous story, beginning with his humble origins and his early life as a relatively conservative priest and bishop, to the astonishing transformation that occurred in the last three years of his life.
Early life Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez was born on 15 Augustto Santos Romero and Guadalupe de Jésus Galdámez in Ciudad Barrios in the San Miguel department of El Salvador.
On 23 Februaryhe. Oscar Romero born in 15th of August in in Ciudad (city in Spanish) Barrios in El Salvador (see page El Salvador). His father was called Santos Romero and was in charge of a local telegram office and acted as a postman for the region.
In the early s in El Salvador, a single death in an era of disappearances, repression and massacres was not remarkable.
But this death was. The murder of archbishop Oscar Romero – by a bullet to the chest as he said mass at the altar – was not just a personal attack on a man who was a thorn in the side of El Salvador's corrupt ruling elite.
It was. Oscar Romero Biography, Life, Interesting Facts. Oscar Romero was the Archbishop of San Salvador. He was a humanitarian for those living in poverty and fear in El Salvador. Childhood And Early Life.

The aim of the present study was to assess how socio-economic background influences perception of an adverse postoperative event after hernia surgery, and to see if this affects the pattern of seeking healthcare advice during the early postoperative period.
This study investigated the effects of different dosages of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in early osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
Considerable controversy exists regarding the efficacy of ondansetron in preventing postanesthesia shivering (PAS). We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine the controversy.
To compare the effectiveness between anterior corpectomy (CORP) and posterior laminoplasty (LAMP) for the treatment of multilevel cervical myelopathy.
Although angioembolization increases the success rate of non-operative management in patients with blunt splenic injuries (BSI), the issue of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) due to serial administration of contrast medium remains unclear. We aimed to examine the risk factors of CIN and their clinical effect on mortality in patients with BSI.
Case reports have been a long held tradition within the surgical literature. Reporting guidelines can improve transparency and reporting quality. However, recent consensus-based guidelines for case reports (CARE) are not surgically focused. Our objective was to develop surgical case report guidelines.
Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) represents the gold standard in patients with acute abdomen syndrome and suspected bowel ischemia. It provides a correct diagnosis and contributes to appropriate treatment planning. This study aims to evaluate the role of 3D Tissue Transition Projection (TTP) transparent wall CT reconstruction for detecting the degree of bowel dilatation and to correlate this finding with the aetiology and prognosis in patients affected by mesenteric infarction.
Controversy exists regarding the role of laparoscopy in the evaluation of patients with penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT). Our objective was to perform a comprehensive review of the literature and conduct a meta-analysis to compare outcomes of laparoscopy and laparotomy in PAT.

Ten years ago today, YouTube uploaded its first video. Co-founder Jawed Karim posted a boring 18 second clip of himself at the San Diego Zoo. And while Facebook and upstarts like Vessel are coming on strong, YouTube remains the dominant force in online video. The official stats:
Even though many in music hate to acknowledge it, YouTube really runs the music business these days. Multiple studies have found that most discovery of new music online is the result of YouTube, and that the percentage of use increases as the age demographic gets younger.
YouTube has released a collection of music videos, behind the scenes interviews, and other exclusive content featuring the 2015 YouTube Music Awards recipients as a part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards Show, presented by Kia.
SXSW On will run for the duration of the 10 day festival, highlighting the best of original music, independent films, emerging technology, cuisine, and gaming culture in an effort to deliver the look, feel, and spirit of SXSW to audiences around the world.
In many ways, YouTube’s dominance in the online video space familiarly echoes Apple’s historic dominance in the downloads market – plenty wish to compete given such an obvious demand, but few companies are capable of taking on such a behemoth. Times have changed.
YouTube doesn't sit still long enough to get comfortable. After the launch of YouTube Music Key, YouTube is now playing around with yet another way to engage viewers - a multi-angled video. The ability to toggle back and forth between multiple camera angles as the video is playing offers a viewer driven personalization of the playback experience. In the early stages of experimentation, popular indie artist, Madilyn Bailey, best known for her covers is the first and only artist to trial this feature on their channel.
As part of a two year long program that promotes up and coming music artists across a variety of genres, from indie rock to hip-hop, Skype has been giving music fans direct access to emerging music artists during the “Ones to Watch” tour. As part of a successful launch, they've been working behind the scenes with rising alt-country artists, Devil Makes Three, asking their fans to vote for their favorite track. Having established that "Hand Back Down" is the fan favorite, Devil Makes Three has recorded an acoustic music video for their fans, available exclusively at Hypebot.com.
Guest Post by Mike Baldo on The Daily Rind
As YouTube carves out a larger space in the music community, the way music videos are being made and consumed is changing. With millions of artists and creators collaborating constantly, stunning music videos have been made that sometimes challenge typical production conventions. Along with YouTube’s Music Key, there are now multiple forms a music video can take. This combined with a lower barrier to entry has given rise to excellent alternatives you can consider when deciding how to publish your music on an evolving video streaming platform.

The New Yorker, October 11, 1958 P. 187
The new Brigitte Bardot film, "En Cas de Malheur" ("In Case of Emergency") is attracting crowds in Paris. In it she is shown nude for a few seconds as she leaves her bath. She has attracted astonished praise from movie critics and the public in general for her unexpected ability to act. Her Franco-Russian discoverer & ex-husband, Roger Vadim Plemiannikov, declared, at the beginning of her career that she could not act but her screen gift was for "sincere, lucid immorality." The film critic Claude Mauriac, insists that in this film she "holds her own" egainst her co-star, the talented, long-experienced Jean Gabin. Obviously her acting comes from being directed for the first time by Claude Autant-Lara, one of France's most intelligent nonconformist cinematographers. Though in this film she seems more than ever a native of the Paris sidewalks, she was born in the "beau quartier" of Passy, of rich, fond bourgeois parents, who sent her to private school & to ballet classes.

Hello again, fellow roadies! Are you enjoying your winter so far? We know that most people simply assume there aren’t any activities worth noting along Route 66 this far north between November and May, but you’d be wrong. Just as there are interesting winter festivals and things off the route, so there are fun winter activities on the route – even in the greater Chicago area.
My co-author and fellow blogger Joe Kubal is an avid birdwatcher. Those of you who are into birding and/or nature walks know that many birdwatchers go out regardless of the season and, sometimes, regardless of the weather. There’s much to see in Chicagoland where bird watching is concerned: try Millennium Park’s Lurie Garden in downtown Chicago; paths along the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek in suburban Lyons and Riverside; the forest preserves near the Chicago Portage National Historic Site in Forest View; or the trails in Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve surrounding Argonne National Laboratory near Darien. Beyond the Chicago parks and the forest preserves of Cook and DuPage counties, however, there are many opportunities for birding in Will County, too. I’ll let Joe tell you about his most recent trip. And before I forget, special thanks to Joe’s birding colleague Sid Padgaonkar for most of the photos here; unless otherwise noted, they’re Sid’s copyright 2015 (all rights reserved). Take it away, Joe!
Hi there, readers! When I’m not working with my co-authors on our upcoming Route 66 book, I participate in a lot of clubs and organizations – the Illinois Geographical Society (IGS), the Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois (ESCONI), the Knights of Columbus, and the Route 66 Association of Illinois (of course), just to name a few. Occasionally, the interests of one group overlap with that of another. In this case, my love of birding coincides with my love of all things Route 66.

SNP conference: Party backs 50p rate of tax across UK
The SNP will support the introduction of a 50p top rate of income tax across the UK after the general election.
The promise was made at the party's conference in Glasgow by Scotland's Deputy First Minister John Swinney and the SNP's deputy leader Stewart Hosie.
The rate would apply to those earning more than £150,000 - which matches Labour party policy.
Mr Swinney said the Scottish government wanted an end to what he called the "moral obscenity" of poverty.
He promised that the Holyrood administration would deliver opportunities for "every one of our people to make their way in the world".
The SNP's official announcement on the 50p income tax rate was made in the closing conference speech by deputy leader Stewart Hosie.
He said: "Labour talk about re-distribution and a 50p rate of tax. Well, I moved a vote in the House of Commons to stop the tax cut for millionaires.
"Every SNP MP voted against a tax cut for millionaires. Labour did not.
"So let there be no doubt - we would not have cut the 50p tax rate for the very highest earners during a recession.
"We still think that those with the very broadest shoulders should bear a slightly larger share of the burden."
He added: "In the next parliament, SNP MPs will support the re-introduction of the 50p tax rate for the very wealthiest in our society."
Scotland's Finance Secretary Mr Swinney had earlier said that fairness should extend to taxation and that was why it was right to back the higher rate.
He told party members: "Your SNP government has worked hard to win the trust of our people. We have done that by keeping faith with their hopes and aspirations.
"Your SNP government has worked hard to earn a reputation for competence. We have done that by careful management of our public finances and by effective stewardship of major projects.
"Your SNP government has a record of delivering for the people. We have done that by keeping our promises and being straight with the people.
"And your SNP government has the ambition to tackle inequality and grow the Scottish economy."

Amaryllis is a flower that is often associated with elegance and grace, and it is well-known for its vibrant and beautiful blooms. This popular bulb flower is frequently cultivated for its stunning trumpet-shaped flowers, which can be found in various shades including red, white, pink, and orange. The attractive petals often boast eye-catching patterns and markings.
Native to South America and South Africa, Amaryllis has become a favorite in gardens and homes around the world. The bulbs are typically planted in the early fall for blooming in late December, making them a cherished symbol of the winter holidays. However, with proper care, they can bloom at different times of the year.
Amaryllis plants are not only beautiful but also relatively easy to grow, both indoors and outdoors. They can thrive in various conditions and soil types, but they do require specific care to bloom successfully and maintain their vibrant appearance. Let’s explore the details that can help you enjoy this beautiful plant.
|Amaryllis, Belladonna Lily
|18-24 inches tall
|Full sun to partial shade
|Well-draining, fertile soil
|South America, South Africa
Caring for an Amaryllis requires understanding its growth cycle. The bulbs typically need a period of dormancy before they bloom. After flowering, the leaves remain to nourish the bulb for the next season.
Amaryllis care involves regular watering, adequate sunlight, and appropriate fertilization. Indoor Amaryllis will benefit from bright, indirect light, while outdoor plants thrive in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade.
Light Requirement for Amaryllis
Amaryllis needs bright but indirect sunlight to grow well. For indoor plants, placing them near a north or east-facing window will offer the right amount of light. Outdoor Amaryllis requires a location with morning sun and afternoon shade to protect against harsh midday rays.
Soil Requirements for Amaryllis
Plant Amaryllis in well-draining, fertile soil. A mix of one part loamy soil, one part sand or perlite, and one part organic matter like compost would provide an ideal environment for the bulbs to thrive.
Water Requirements for Amaryllis
Watering Amaryllis should be done consistently but carefully. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent rotting of the bulb.
Temperature and Humidity
Amaryllis prefers temperatures between 60-75°F during the growing season. During the dormancy period, cooler temperatures around 55°F are ideal. Humidity levels can be moderate; however, avoid overly wet conditions.
Fertilize Amaryllis with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Stop fertilizing once the flower stalk appears, and resume after the blooming period is over.
Pruning involves removing spent flowers to encourage further blooming and cutting back the leaves after they yellow at the end of the growing season.
Propagate Amaryllis through bulb division. Separate offsets from the mother bulb and plant them in the appropriate soil mix.
How To Grow Amaryllis From Seed
Growing Amaryllis from seed is a slow process but can be rewarding. Plant the seeds in a well-draining soil mix, keep them moist, and provide bright, indirect light.
Common Pests & Plant Diseases
Aphids can be treated with insecticidal soap.
Prevent bulb rot by avoiding overwatering.
Common Problems With Amaryllis
Failure to Bloom
This may occur due to inadequate light or a missed dormancy period. Adjust care as needed.
Leaf Tips Turning Brown
This can be a sign of underwatering or low humidity. Increase water and consider using a humidifier.
- Provide a period of dormancy by reducing water and placing the bulb in a cooler location.
- Stake tall flower stalks to provide support as they grow.
- Rotate the pot regularly to encourage straight growth.
- Be patient when growing from seed, as it can take years to bloom.
- Consider repotting every 3-4 years to provide fresh soil and space for growing bulbs.
