Suffrage Stories: House Decorating and Suffrage: Annie Atherton, Kate Thornbury, And The Society of Artists
In Suffrage Stories: ‘Home Art Decorator’ To The Queen – And The ‘Human Letter’ – I told the story of Charlotte Robinson, her sister, Epsey McClelland, and her niece, Elspeth McClelland. I have now been alerted to the existence of another of Charlotte’s sisters, Mrs Anne Atherton, who also worked in the art world – as the co-founder of the Society of Artists. In my rummaging around I had come across mention of this ‘Society’, which operated from premises in New Bond Street, London, but had not made the connection to Charlotte Robinson and Epsey McClelland.
Anne Elizabeth Robinson was born in Settle, Yorkshire, in 1849. Known as ‘Annie’, she was the fourth child of Henry Robinson and his wife, Elspet, two years younger than Epsey and nearly ten years older than Charlotte. I can discover nothing of her life before her marriage in 1870 to Francis Henry Atherton. The son of a solicitor, he had been born in Wiltshire in 1840 and was, therefore, about ten years her elder. I presume that until her marriage Anne had lived at home in Yorkshire, but after their marriage the couple disappear. I cannot find them on the 1871 census and have only caught up again with Annie Atherton in 1881 when she was living at 103 Warwick Road, Paddington, with her sister Epsey McClelland, her brother-in-law (John McClelland, an accountant) and a visitor, Kate Thornbury. Epsey and Anne are each described as ‘Artist (Painter)’ and Kate Thornbury is ‘Secretary’. In fact Kate Thornbury was secretary to the Central Committee of the National Society for Women’s Suffrage from 1877-c. April 1881.
I don’t know when the Atherton marriage broke down. From later evidence I know that Francis Atherton was a mining prospector and it may be that he and Anne were living abroad in 1871, hence their absence from the census. But at some point Annie Atherton returned to England (if she had indeed been away) and entered into a close friendship with Kate Thornbury that was to last the rest of their lives.
According to Annie Atherton’s obituary (The Suffragette, 28 November 1913), she and Kate Thornbury had founded the Society of Artists thirty-two years earlier –that is, in 1881 – perhaps around the time that Kate left her position as secretary to the suffrage society. However in 1887 (in a letter published in the Pall Mall Gazette – see below) Kate dated the formation of the Society to 1883 and it would, perhaps, be sensible to accept this as the correct date. The couple took premises for the business at a very good Mayfair address – 53 New Bond Street – and remained there – and then at no. 52 -until 1914. No. 53 is now occupied by Dolce and Gabbana – and, from the look of it, the façade of the building may well be much the same now as it was in the 1880s. In 1886 Kate Thornbury was also working as secretary to the Froebel Society from no. 53.
It is difficult to discover the exact nature of the Society of Artists. It doesn’t appear to have been a Society in the sense of having members, rather it offered premises in which artists could exhibit. All the reports of exhibitions that I can find are of work by women. Moreover the ‘work’ was usually of a ‘craft’ nature, not fine art. It would also appear that the Society of Artists operated, at some level, as a house decorating business, competing in the same field as Annie’s sisters, Charlotte Robinson and Epsey McClelland.
I sense that the relationship between the two establishments, the Society of Artists and that of Charlotte Robinson, was, for a time at least, not entirely harmonious – for the 27 December 1887 issue of the Pall Mall Gazette carries a letter from Kate Thornbury in response to ‘Ladies as Shopkeepers’, the article by Emily Faithfull that had appeared in the previous week’s issue (for more on this article see Suffrage Stories: ‘Home Art Decorator’ To The Queen – And The ‘Human Letter‘). Kate Thornbury expresses her ’great astonishment [that she found in this article] no mention whatever of Miss Robinson’s elder sister Mrs Atherton, who, as Miss Faithfull is well aware, had started a large business under her own superintendence in New Bond Street, London, under the title of the Society of Artists, for the sale of all kinds of artistic work, house decoration &, in the year 1883. Mrs Atherton it was who first braved ‘that bugbear which terrifies most women – the loss of social status’ and the great success which attended (and still attends) her venue induced Miss Robinson twelve months afterwards to open a similar business in Manchester, under the same name. In Miss Faithfull’s zeal for the prestige of the younger sister with whose success she is identified , she has shown a strange forgetfulness of Mrs Atherton’s claim as the originator of the movement which finds such merit in Miss Faithfull’s eyes.’
Armed with the information that Charlotte Robinson’s business in Manchester traded, at least initially, under the name the ‘Society of Artists’, I have now found corroboration in the form of a report (Manchester Courier, 30 March 1886) which, when referring to the fact that Charlotte Robinson was setting up a type-writing office in the city, mentions that she was ‘well known in connection with the Society of Artists’. One would have thought that there must have been some agreement with Annie Atherton and Kate Thornbury that allowed Charlotte to use their business name, but, three years or so later, the letter betrays a distinct note of rancour, aimed perhaps more at Emily Faithfull than at Annie’s younger sister.
Descriptions of the actual work exhibited by the Society of Artists are rather scant. This, from The St James’ Gazette, 7 April 1898, is one of the more forthcoming, describing how poker-work photograph frames ‘in straight bands of vivid colours – red, yellow and green – set amidst the dark poker-work..and beaten pewter and copper frames make much pleasanter Easter gifts than the usual flimsy eccentricities sold for such. The society has also the most delightful green ware to match its green furniture. It’s very pleasant to house one’s frocks, one’s candles, one’s flowers and plants all in the same harmonious tone of green.’ Well, there’s not much to choose between this artless prose and that of today’s house magazines (which, incidentally, I love, while laughing at their writing style). A report of an exhibition organised by the Society of Artists in Aberdeen in 1888 described their wares as ‘decorative novelties’, which seems a fair summary.
I have found only two clear indications that the Society of Artists was involved in house decoration. In its issue of 19 December 1904 the Derby Daily Telegraph mentioned that Elspeth McClelland was, most unusually for a young woman, studying architecture at the Polytechnic in London and that ‘she has occupied a post as a designer at a large firm of decorators, known as the Society of Artists.’ So, any rancour that may have existed between the Robinson sisters in the 1880s had long since been forgotten and in the new century the Society of Artists had welcomed Annie Atherton’s niece, Elspeth, as a member of its team.
The second reference comes nine years later when the Pall Mall Gazette (10 November 1913) reported that ‘a well-known Princess who is fitting up a “lordly pleasure-house” for herself in the neighbourhood of the Bois de Boulogne, has given the internal decoration into the hands of the Society of Artists. The society has an excellent habit of collecting ancient beams and panelling, and the Princess’s Parisian mansion is being transformed into an old English manor-house, after the fashion of Haddon House. In the Princess’s house there are to be great open fireplaces, panelled walls, and an entirely new wooden staircase is being put in.’ The next paragraph refers to the work of a woman architect, Mrs Elspeth Spencer (née McClelland), this juxtaposition making me wonder if she could have been involved with the Parisian project. Annie Atherton had just died and Kate Thornbury was 65 years old – was the younger generation now directing the work of the Society of Artists?
For years Annie and Kate had a London address, 12 Horbury Crescent, Kensington, and for a time had a country cottage at Peaslake in Surrey – the 1891 census found them living there in the quaintly named ‘Jottel [??] Hutte’. Annie Atherton is ‘head of household, Kate is ‘Friend’ and they had a young local girl as a servant. However by 1901 they had left arts-and-craftsy Peaslake for a house in Shire Lane, Chorleywood. This house was, rather charmingly, named ‘Chums’, which might speak something of how they saw their relationship. In the 1901 census Anne is given as ‘head of household’ and Kate as ‘joint owner’, while they are both described as ‘artists’. Their next-door-but- one neighbour on one side was Charles Voysey, who lived until 1906 in ‘The Orchard’, the arts-and-crafts house that he had built in 1899 for his family, while on their other side lived another architect, Charles Simmonds. At the very least Annie and Kate must have known Voysey on a social level but I wonder if their ‘decorative novelties’, while ‘craft’, would have appealed to his spare ‘Arts and Crafts’ sensibility.
In 1911 both Annie and Kate boycotted the census. The Registrar completed their form, recording their relationship as ‘sisters’ and knowing enough to describe Annie’s occupation as ‘Society of Artists’. Across the form is written ‘No Votes No Census. When women become citizens they will fulfill the duties of citizens.’
On the 1881 and 1891 censuses Annie Atherton gives her status as ‘married’ and by 1901 as ‘widowed’. However on her death in 1913 the Probate Register describes her as ‘wife of Frank Atherton’ – and that seems to have been her true status for there is no evidence that she was divorced. In fact Francis Henry Atherton appears on the 1911 census, aged 70, mining prospector, living with his ‘wife’ , Julia, and five of the seven children born to them, at Langhurst, Witley, Surrey. [Incidentally, for more about the house, which Atherton presumably leased from the publisher Edward Arnold who had built it in 1908, see here.] The children, who had all been born in Queensland, Australia, ranged in age from 19 to 10 and Atherton stated on the form that he and Julia had been married for 25 years. In fact this was an untruth twice over. Not only was he, apparently, still married to Annie Atherton, but a marriage ceremony between him and Julia had taken place at St Pauls, Covent Garden as recently as 10 September 1907. It seems inconceivable that Annie Atherton did not know that her husband and his family were living in Surrey and that, as it appears, he had committed bigamy. One can read on-line the oath he swore that there was no legal impediment to this marriage and, incidentally, that his bride, Julia Walford, was a widow. This, again, was another untruth as ‘Walford’ was her maiden name; their Australian-born children were registered with Francis Atherton as their father and Julia Walford as their mother. Perhaps it was felt that back in England propriety demanded that the liaison should appear more regular. Had he asked Annie Atherton for a divorce and been refused? I wonder if any reader of this post will know the answer.
When Annie died in 1913 the executor of her will was, naturally enough, Kate Thornbury. Kate died in 1920 (incidentally leaving £100 to the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship) having appointed Clara Garrett her executor. The latter was the wife of Samuel Garrett, brother of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Millicent Fawcett, and Agnes Garrett – and, guess what, I’ve just put two and two together and realised that Clara was Kate’s sister. Of course it’s a small world but I wonder if this overlap between the Robinson and Garrett family circles extended to an overlap in house decorating taste. Could Annie Atherton and Kate Thornbury have initially been inspired by the example set by the firm of R & A Garrett? Clara Thornbury drew her sister into the Garrett Circle when she married Samuel in 1882. Could conversations with Agnes and Rhoda have given Kate and Annie the idea of launching the Society of Artists a year later? At the very least the two couples must have had many interests in common – suffrage and applied art being the most obvious. Were Annie and Kate entertained at 2 Gower Street by Rhoda and Agnes and, later, by Agnes and Millicent? Were their decorating tastes similar? Did they visit each other’s shops? Buy each other’s wares? Who knows.
It is a pity that for a post concerned with the visual I have no illustrations to use. I know of no likenesses of Annie Atherton or Kate Thornbury, have no images of rooms they decorated, or the goods they sold. Despite the longevity of their business they seem to have left a fainter mark on history than Charlotte Robinson, who had Emily Faithful as her promoter.
I am most grateful to Thamar McIver who is researching suffragettes in Pinner (where Elspeth McClelland lived) and first brought Anne Atherton to my attention. The rest is – a sort – of history.
For some time I have been meaning to investigate Charlotte Robinson, ‘Home Art Decorator’ to Queen Victoria, mention of whom I came across years ago while researching the interior design career of Rhoda and Agnes Garrett. Now that I have done so, I’ve discovered, as an added bonus, her family link with one of the WSPU’s more imaginative publicity stunts.
Charlotte Robinson was born c 1859 in Settle in Yorkshire, one of the younger children in the large family of a Yorkshire solicitor. He died in 1870, leaving an estate of c £20,000. A later biographical piece about Charlotte noted that she (as presumably were all the children) was left a share of his property and it was this that gave her the freedom to develop a career.
By 1871 Charlotte had been sent as a boarder to a small school in Bolton but was later moved to the rather more prestigious Queen’s College in London. Education complete she returned home for a time – the 1881 census finds her living with her brother, William, a solicitor, in Keighley. She then spent some time travelling abroad.
For some of that time, certainly in 1883, Charlotte was travelling in America with Emily Faithfull – described on the manifest of the ship on which they travelled to New York as ‘Secretary’. You can read a very interesting article about Emily Faithfull here. It would seem, from remarks recorded by Emily that she had met Charlotte when the latter was still a pupil at Queen’s College.
Emily Faithfull was, of course, a fierce advocate of work for middle-class women so it’s unsurprising that, when interviewed in the 1890s for Manchester Faces and Places, Charlotte described how on her return from her travels ‘she resolved to invest her money in a business which she could control herself instead of returning to the usual round of gaieties, varied by intermittent charitable enterprises.’ The journalist then elaborated – ‘Having always been interested in decorative art, friends who knew her marvellous deftness of touch and infallible sense of colour, strongly advised her to turn these special gifts to account.’
In an interview that appeared in the Women’s Penny Paper, 9 February 1889, Charlotte went into more detail. ‘The idea of house decoration as a profession came to me while travelling through America. I was much struck with the interiors of some of the magnificent houses to which I was invited in some of the principal cities between New York and San Francisco, and on my return to England began to supplement previous artistic study. My first professional business was in furnishing houses, now I decorate them through, as well as working in conjunction with my sister, Mrs McClelland, who presides over the studio from which come the beautiful friezes you have just been admiring.’ So that is how Charlotte Robinson came to become a ‘house decorator.
She was setting up in the house decoration business ten years after the trail had been blazed for women by Agnes and Rhoda Garrett and, like them, she stressed the necessity of undergoing a training. However, although we know that the Garretts were pupils of the architect John Brydon, I’ve been unable to discover where or with whom Charlotte Robinson trained. All that is revealed in the Manchester Faces interview is that she ‘went through the necessary course of study and thoroughly qualified herself for the work.’ As Emily Faithfull put it in a later article Charlotte studied ‘house decoration from hearth tiles to frieze painting’.
According to Emily Faithfull, Charlotte Robinson first went into business in London. This must, I think, have been immediately on their return from America – and was probably by way of dipping a toe in the water. But very soon – probably in late 1884/early 1885 – the two women moved to Manchester and, as Emily wrote, ‘regardless of that bugbear which terrifies most women – she [Charlotte] put up her own name over the door.’
That door gave entrance to 20 South King Street, in the central Manchester shopping district, the premises serving primarily as a shop. It would seem from other remarks that Charlotte’s design work was done at home – 10 Plymouth Grove – the house she shared with Emily Faithfull. By 1886 a part of 20 South King Street had been given over to a ‘Typewriting Office’, run by a Miss Giles. As the Manchester Courier remarked when reporting this ‘Doubtless the typewriter will soon become as popular here as in America’. One can imagine that this was a development of which Emily Faithfull was fully supportive.
It is clear from every description that Charlotte Robinson’s ideas of interior design were the antithesis of those of Rhoda and Agnes Garrett. It is impossible to imagine the latter displaying mirrors such as one to be found in Charlotte Robinson’s establishment – for on it was painted ‘a pool fringed with rushes in which a wild duck and her brood were swimming, while the old mallard was taking wing to enjoy the pleasures of the world beyond – after his kind – leaving to the mother the care of the little fluffy yellow ducks, whose very feathers seemed to move with the passing wind’. (Manchester Courier, 6 February 1885).
Items such as this were produced not in Manchester but in London, in the studio of Charlotte’s sister, Mrs McClelland (33 Warwick Avenue, Paddington). Epsey McClelland was twelve years older than Charlotte – in the 1891 census she is described as a widow, a ‘decorative artist’, living with her daughter at the Warwick Avenue address. In an article on ‘Ladies as Shopkeepers’, reprinted in Pall Mall Gazette, (23 December 1887), Emily Faithfull extolled Charlotte’s taste – ‘Her furniture designs are simple and unique; she has dainty and quaint arrangements for cosy nooks and odd corners, and has good reason to be proud of the work of the artists employed in in the studio over which her clever sister, Mrs McClelland is the presiding genius.’
In 1887 Charlotte Robinson took stands at two exhibitions. In Saltaire in June she showed ‘..beautiful painted screens, brackets, plaques, a corner cabinet richly decorated with painted flowers and an excellently painted frieze.’ (Leeds Mercury 3 June 1887).
Of the Manchester Jubilee Exhibition, June/July 1887, the Cabinet Maker and Art Furnisher wrote:- ‘Miss Charlotte Robinson showed a frieze, corner sideboard, overmantel, draught screen, fire screens, Tuckaway tables, and other knickknacks, all, more or less decorated with the light and fanciful painting for which she had made a name. It is in some aspects too “pretty” for our taste, but it is none the less skilful. This lady is happy in the sprightly woodwork forming the foundation of her paintings. The corner sideboard is particularly pleasing.’
We can get a clearer picture of the ‘light and fanciful painting’ from a description given of Charlotte’s stand at the Glasgow Exhibition the following year. ‘Visitors to this stand ought to note the billet-doux writing table, a facsimile of that purchased by the Princess of Wales, and invented and patented by Miss Robinson. Beside this is the ‘Interloper’ chair purchased by the Countess of Rosebery. Both are painted with white French enamel, and decorated with blue tom tits. There are two friezes, specially designed for drawing rooms bearing groups of roses and chrysanthemums and one for a smoking room, with a design of wild ducks in flight.’ (Glasgow Herald 25 May 1888).
Blue tom tits for the ladies and wild ducks for the gentlemen – an aesthetic very different from that of the Garretts, whom Sir Hubert Parry commended – writing in his diary while staying in their house – ‘The quiet and soothing colour of the walls and decoration and the admirable taste of all things acts upon the mind in the most comforting manner. I was quite excised of the vulgar idea that everything ought to be light & gaudy & covered with gilt in London.‘
In late 1888 Charlotte received the accolade of being appointed ‘Home Art Decorator’ to Queen Victoria. Over 20 years earlier Emily Faithfull had been appointed publisher and printer in ordinary to the Queen, her brushes with scandal having apparently done nothing to dent her reputation in the eyes of the royal family. On 9 October 1889 the Leeds Mercury reported that ‘Miss Charlotte Robinson has had the honour of submitting to her Majesty some dessert d’oyleys painted on silk, from sketches taken near Palé as mementoes of Her Majesty’s visit to Wales’ and, as we have seen the Princess of Wales had already bought one of her writing tables’.
By October 1888 business was sufficiently prosperous for Charlotte to open a London showroom – in Mayfair – at 20 Brook Street – and in the same month was appointed as editor of ‘the decorative department’ on the magazine, The Queen, in succession to Mrs Talbot Coke. She was now in a position both to dictate taste and to supply the means of achieving it. She held her position on The Queen for the rest of her life. A small measure of this power was the fact that in an advertisement a Gloucester furnishing store, Messrs Matthews, regularly mentioned that their stock was approved by the leading Art Critics of the Day – such as Charlotte Robinson, Mrs Talbot Coke and Mrs Panton.
The interview given to the journalist from the Women’s Penny Paper took place in the Brook Street showroom, among the ‘cream coloured music racks, dainty billet doux tables, LouisSeize screens etc which provide an artistic public with useful as well as beautiful wedding and birthday gifts’. Charlotte commented that ‘I spend a great deal of time in Manchester, where I have a large business to control, and much is taken up in travelling “back and forth” as we say in the north, between the various houses I have to decorate and furnish in London and the country.Through The Queen I have to advise about houses in every part of the world.’
However for all the reports of how busy she was with her commissions – ‘She can drape a room in less time than it takes most people to think of it’ – there is no information now available to tell us who her clients were or which were the houses she decorated. In the case of the Garretts I was able, from a variety of sources, to piece together a short list of their clients, but I can find no trace at all of Charlotte Robinson’s private clients. There is mention that in in June 1892 she was commissioned to decorate a hotel being erected in Manchester for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, that she did some work for Cunard, and that she was called upon to redecorate the Lord Mayor’s Parlour in Manchester Town Hall. The latter is a superbly Gothic creation and certainly no place for tom tits and wild ducks.
Emily Faithfull died in 1895, leaving all her property to Charlotte. In her will, which had been written in 1893, she wrote that’ I feel sure that any loving members of my family, who may survive me, will appreciate my desire that the few possessions I have should be retained for the exclusive use, and as the absolute property, of my beloved friend Charlotte Robinson, as some little indication of my gratitude for the countless services for which I am indebted to her, as well as for the affectionate tenderness and care which made the last five years of my life the happiest I ever spent.’
After Emily’s death Charlotte Robinson continued to cut a dash in Manchester society. The local newspapers record her attendance at numerous balls and conversaziones – for instance, in July 1899 dressed in white brocaded silk and heliotrope velvet. On these occasions she is often in the company of Julia Dux, who lived close by in Plymouth Grove.
Charlotte Robinson’s career was brought to a premature end, however, by her death at home, in October 1901. She left £3100 – and the executors of her will were her sister, Epsey, and her niece Elspeth McClelland.
The latter, then aged 22, continued along the path that her aunt had, to a degree, forged and, with the changing times, was able to become more fully a professional and practise as an architect. You can read an account of her career here. and a 1905 article (issue 32, p, 114) about her in a Spanish architectural journal here She, like her aunt Charlotte, was clearly a woman of independent thinking and, not unsurprisingly, was swept into the Edwardian suffragette movement, achieving a certain notoriety in 1909 when she was one of the ‘Human Letters’ sent as a publicity stunt to 10 Downing Street. You can see a photograph here of Elspeth posing for the camera – with Daisy Solomon, her fellow ‘Letter’, on the left and Annie Kenney in support on the right. Under her married name – Mrs Elspeth Douglas Spencer – she has an entry in the Suffrage Annual and Woman’s Who’s Who.
Thus, by way of Charlotte Robinson’s ‘home art decoration’ , we can trace a line of endeavour that stretches from Emily Faithfull’s involvement in the 1860s with the Langham Place Group (middle-class women intent on improving work opportunities for their sisters) to a woman architect who, in her short life, managed to design and build several houses – as well as giving birth to three children. It was, apparently, that third birth that in 1920 killed her – putting an end to another interesting career.

Cashman told WFAN's Mike Francesa that the team has chosen its No. 4 starting pitcher as well as its starting right fielder. The GM, however, wasn't quite ready to name names.
"We've made some internal decisions on the fourth starter, but I won't say who that is yet because I'll let (manager) Joe (Girardi) do that when he's comfortable and tells all parties," Cashman said.
Cashman said the Yankees will take their time in choosing their fifth starter, who won't be needed until April 16. He did mention that Jordan Montgomery was in the running for the No. 5 job, which would exclude him as the fourth starter.
Montgomery, 24, who has no major-league experience, helped his case Wednesday, allowing just one run over five innings against the Blue Jays.
Luis Severino, Chad Green and Bryan Mitchell are also vying for rotation spots.
MORE: Girardi On WFAN
"I think what we're more than likely to do ... is let that competition continue with guys taking their turn in Triple-A, and when we need that start on the 16th, we'll do it," Cashman said.
Cashman added that Montgomery and Severino, if they don't crack the rotation, would be sent down to Triple-A as starters rather than being sent to the big-league bullpen.
Meanwhile, Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks have been battling for the right-field job. A decision should be announced Thursday.
"It's been a good race," Cashman said. "They've both played well. I think Hicks has played very well from start to finish, and I think Judge has played well, even more so to the end, even though statistically he got out of the gate kind of hot. But I think he's been swinging the bat much better of late, too. They both played really good defense. So it's been a good, healthy competition."
Judge is batting .345 with three home runs this spring, while Hicks is hitting .264 with three homers.
• Cashman said Ronald Torreyes will start at shortstop while Didi Gregorius is out with a shoulder injury he sustained in the World Baseball Classic.
• The GM said first baseman Greg Bird has played so well that it could eat into the at-bats the team envisioned for Chris Carter. Carter, last year's co-home run champ in the National League, was brought in because the Yankees anticipated Greg Bird, who missed all of last season following shoulder surgery, would be rusty and need rest. But Bird, who is batting .429 with seven homers this spring and has been sharp against both righties and lefties, Cashman said.
• Of his outlook on the team as a whole, Cashman said: "I think it's an exciting team that I think is capable of a number of different things. We could be someone that actually pushes the entire envelope and winds up as a playoff team, or we could be a team that gets held back by the inexperience or the inefficiency of what the perennial-type performers who have been around a while can do. So it's every color in the rainbow. Hopefully we'll have the brighter colors, the performance we want."

Global Methane Tracker 2023 updated on methane emissions
Despite the energy crisis, methane emissions released by the fossil fuel industry have not suffered the desired decline. Reductions have been recorded but are too small and slow to make a significant contribution to the climate issue. Yet, intervening at this level is one of the cheapest and easiest solutions to limit global warming in the short term. The International Energy Agency IEA recalls this today by publishing the new estimates of the Global Methane Tracker 2023. What is it? The online tool that monitors the emissions of oil operations (and not only), also incorporates data from scientific literature, measurement campaigns, and satellites.
A 135 million tonne bankruptcy
The new update shows a clear picture: in 2022, methane (CH4) emissions released into the atmosphere by the energy industry reached 135 million tons, a value just below that of 2019. And slightly more than in 2021.
In detail, the activities related to coal, oil and natural gas are each responsible for about 40 million tons of emissions and almost 5 million losses related to end-use equipment. “The explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline last year released a huge amount of methane into the atmosphere,” explained Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA. “But normal oil and gas operations around the world release every day the same amount of methane as the Nord Stream explosion”. A further EUR 10 million comes from the incomplete combustion of bioenergy.
From methane leaks enough gas to replace all imports from Russia
Yet the fossil sector could cut them by 75% already today, using existing technologies, spending less than 3% of the income accrued in 2022. “There is no excuse,” Birol said. Stopping all flaring and non-emergency venting is the most powerful measure countries can take to curb methane emissions. Of the 260 billion cubic meters of CH4 released into the atmosphere each year as a result of these operations, at least three quarters could be stored and returned to the market. The methane thus captured would amount to more than the total annual imports of gas from EU Russia before the invasion of Ukraine.

More State Sanctioned Murder
The next time someone suggests, tongue in cheek or not, that more African Americans need to walk around with guns......remember this story. The "gun" was a cellphone this time. It has been a wallet in other incidents. The rules are always different for us. That's just how the country was founded. Sadly, it continues to be the modus operandi.
I wish Killer Mike and those that listen to him would realize this reality. They love to talk about how all we need is a gun. Then magically the police will stop murdering us.
Too much precious blood has already been spilled. I am not for doing anything that would provide them with a "reason" to take another Black life. John Crawford and Tamir only had toy guns.........in an open carry state.........and look what happened to them. It's almost too much. Smdh.
That makes it a justifiable shooting in some people's eyes. Because who could tell a toy gun from a real one in a few seconds. Which is why there are a lot of people that shouldn't be police.

Convenient, clean, and enjoyable.
We really enjoyed this house for the convenience of the location. This was our 4th visit to Willamette and the third time staying in Carlton. It was the first we stayed at this property and it is by far our favorite. Lots of amenities and Phil goes the extra distance to really have everything including having a powerful hairdryer. So many rental properties go cheap on the ammenities like that... not Phil. We found everything at the house to be perfect. Having air conditioning in the abnormally hot late summer was a big plus too. The deck and fire pit area were great for the cool evenings and al fresco dining! Thanks for having us. Recommended dining and nearby wineries include Horse Radish, Carlton Bakery, and Scott Paul Winery. We also drove over to Newberg for fresh seafood at Northwest Seafood Company. Check it out and grill it on the outdoor grill!
Thank you for letting us stay in your home.

You could say he’s the Erin Brockovich of the automobile industry.
For decades, Robert W. Kearns, an engineer and college professor, battled a corporate giant — in this case, the Ford Motor Company — in court over his patents on a windshield wiper that worked better in light rain.
Mr. Kearns’s story begins on his wedding night, when a Champagne cork struck his eye. The accident spurred him to wonder: If the human eye can blink periodically, why can’t a car’s windshield wipers?
Working from his Detroit basement, Mr. Kearns created a prototype for what is now a standard feature, the intermittent windshield wiper.
He showed his invention to Ford and secured multiple patents for it in 1967, but was not able to get the automaker to license it. Two years later, Ford introduced intermittent wipers on its cars. Other carmakers followed.
Mr. Kearns sued Ford in 1978 and Chrysler in 1982, both for patent infringement, and represented himself in court. Read more…


The UNI Department of Public Safety reported multiple burglarized and stolen vehicles last weekend to students in a safety bulletin email.
According to Helen Haire, the Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety, the thefts occurred at various times and locations.
Haire reported that three vehicles were stolen, along with belongings from other vehicles. Of the three vehicles that were reported stolen last weekend, Haire said that two have been recovered. She went on to explain how police departments work collaboratively on recovering stolen vehicles. “Two of the vehicles stolen from campus (were) recovered locally, but also in the last week, UNI PD recovered three vehicles stolen from other parts of the state.”
Haire also stated that UNI PD is investigating the burglaries to help ensure that students and their belongings can remain safe on campus.
She also explained students can help take precautionary measures to make sure their belongings remain safe. Students can make sure their vehicles are secured by always making sure to lock their vehicle, whether parking on or off-campus.
Along with locking vehicles, remove any valuable belongings from your car.
Haire explained that as it nears the holiday season, taking this measure to secure your vehicle is extremely important. Lastly, remove all spare keys or key fobs from your vehicle to prevent thefts.
While UNI PD is working extensively to assist students in providing a safe environment on campus, they encourage students to be proactive in the safety of themselves and their belongings. By following the list of precautions above and UNI PD’s advice students can keep their vehicles safe.
If you have any questions or information about the burglaries themselves, you can contact the UNI Department of Public Safety at (319) 273-2712.

According to reports, “Deadliest Catch” star Sig Hansen was arrested on Thursday following an argument he had with an Uber driver.
His ride was allegedly canceled while he was still inside the vehicle, and he tried to offer the driver $100 to continue the trip. However, as it’s against company policy, the driver declined. That’s when things took a turn for the worse.
Hansen then reportedly became extremely angry, spat on the driver’s head and on the back of the driver’s seat, and got out of the car and kicked it. The driver then called the police, who saw “several droplets of apparently fresh-looking saliva on the back of the driver’s headrest” and damage to the vehicle when they arrived. When they next went to Hansen’s home, he was “obviously intoxicated.”
“[Hansen] vociferously declared that he did not know what I was talking about, that he got a ride from ‘an Uber guy.’ ‘ […] he took me home, we’re here, we had Norwegian Independence Day, everybody’s happy, I’ve got my family home, we’re safe and sound, that’s it!'” officers claim Hansen told them.
He was ultimately arrested, booked into King County Jail on assault and property destruction charges and will be released on $2,000 bail. He is also banned from Uber, with the company saying, “Violence will not be tolerated on the Uber app. We have been in contact with our driver partner, and the rider no longer has access to the app.”

(UFC and IFL veteran Matt Horwich, courtesy of his official Myspace)
The hot topic in UK MMA for the past week has been Alex Reid’s withdrawal from his scheduled BAMMA III encounter with Tom “Kong” Watson on May 15th.
Whilst many fans are sceptical with the situation regarding Reid’s exit from the contest, his camp are citing a knee injury as the source of the pull-out. A documentary centred around Reid’s preparation for the bout was first aired last week as there is a vested public interested in the fighter turned celebrity after his win on Big Brother and marriage to glamour model Katie Price aka “Jordan”.
Watson, who trains at Greg Jackson’s Submission Fighting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was understandably frustrated with the situation as he posted on his official site:
“From my perspective I am so angry at the way he has disrespected me in his behaviour. I fought and signed to MFC in Feb and won quickly with a KO so could have fought immediately in March, April or also on the MFC on May 7th. He has shown no concern for the money I have spent travelling back and forth and in camp for this fight. My cornerman for May has a medical issue which means he has to paid out of his own pocket to fly first class from Canada for May.”
It appears that all is not lost for Watson, however, as a reliable source close to the fighter has revealed that terms have been agreed with former UFC and IFL star Matt Horwich. The bout is undoubtedly a step in the right direction for Watson following his devastating KO over travis Galbraith in Candian promotion MFC back in February.
Contracts are being signed imminently by Horwich, who faced Ricardo Almeida and Dan Miller inside the Octagon, won the IFL middleweight championship and holds victories over the likes of Krzysztof Soszynski, Mike Pyle and Josh Burkman.
Watson is looking to further his career and face the best opposition possible on his route to the top. “Suave” certainly provides an interesting clash for “Kong” and it will be a great benchmark for his improvement at the Jackson camp.

The Governorship and State Assembly Elections will hold across Nigeria on Saturday, March 18, 2023. In this report, NKPOTU EKALUGBU examines the chances of the top contenders in the race in Delta State.
In less than twenty four hours, the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly Elections would be holding across Nigeria. Eligible voters would be filing out in their numbers to exercise their franchise by casting their ballot for the choice candidates on both elections.
In Delta State, the race is pretty tight as there are as many as six strong contenders seeking to succeed Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, the incumbent governor of the state. In view of the gentleman's agreement on power rotation, all the governorship candidates hail from the Central Senatorial District, the home of the Urhobo ethnic group.
A glance at the list of the contestants shows that some of them are well known politicians who had contested the same election in the past while there are a few new faces. The race parades the following notable contestants: Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, People's Democratic Party (PDP); Sen Ovie Omo- Agege, All Progressives Congress (APC); Mr Ken Pela, Labour Party (LP); Chief Great Ogboru, All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA); Chief Kenneth Gbagi, Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Comrade Sunny Ofehe, Young Progressives Party (YPP).
Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori is the current Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly (DTHA) and candidate of the PDP in the governorship election. Oborevwori is a native of Osubi in Okpe LGA of the state and had his political tutelage as a community youth leader. His candidacy has been dogged by several allegations including falsification of age and academic records, but he survived all the forces that threatened his emergence. As the candidate of the ruling party in the state, Oborevwori is seen by critics as a protege of Okowa, the incumbent governor of the state. In the build up to the election, Oborevwori campaigned with the achievements of the Okowa administration in the last eight years and promised to build on the success stories.
Ouite frankly, his emergence has torn the PDP. into two as some party faithful who do not like him have moved over to the APC and other opposition platforms. One half of the party believed to be loyal to Chief James Ibori, the former Governor of the State, wanted Chief David Edevbie as the standard bearer but Okowa insisted on Oborevwori. This internal wrangling, coupled with the presence of a number of other strong contenders in the race might make the election a hard nut for the PDP and its candidate.
OMO – AGEGE
Omo – Agege is the current Deputy Senate President and candidate of the APC. Until a few years ago, Omo – Agege was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party where he served as a Commissioner and later as Secretary to the State Government.
In many circles, Omo – Agege is regarded as the main challenger in the Saturday governorship poll given his position at the National Assembly and that of his party at the federal level. In the last eight years of his being in the federal legislature, Omo- Agege is said to had influenced a lit of development projects to his constituency and now hopes to reap a harvest of votes. But politics is not Mathematics and whatever constituency projects he may have attracted might not be enough to yield the quantum of votes he requires to win the polls.
Pela, the governorship candidate of the LP comes from a political dynasty dating back to the 1970s. His father and one of his elder brothers were politicians while he had also contested for the Chairmanship of Ughelli South LGA but was not successful at that time.
However, he has become a formidable force given the party he represents and the exploits of the Obidient Movement on the Presidential and National Assembly Elections. Pela parades a rich manifesto and has managed to warm himself into the hearts of the people.
In the course of the campaigns, he promised to increase the minimum wage for workers in the state to N100,000 if elected as governor. He has also guaranteed the people of Delta the best of roads, hospitals and schools if they vote for him.
“If you notice I am not talking too much about building roads, I am not talking too much about healthcare and all that because those are the rights of our people. I guarantee Deltans they will have the best roads, the best roads, the best hospitals and the best schools.
“But what we will do is to engender prosperity in the land and we have an eight-point agenda, eight prosperity drivers that will enable prosperity. The first is that we will pay a living wage; we are planning to break the minimum wage progressively to N100,000 a month, we are looking at 60,000 almost immediately,” he said.
The Labour Party candidate said he will cut waste and corruption to ensure money is freed to carry out the promises.
Pela said that he will ensure fiscal autonomy for the local governments in the state to ensure they get the necessary funds to execute projects and also ensure that the quality of the workforce in the local governments is improved.
As beautiful as these promises might look, Pela may find it difficult to clinch victory at the polls because of the rare dynamics of Delta politics. At best, the LP might succeed in snatching a handful of state assembly seats at the end of the day.
Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru, the governorship candidate of APGA, is a household name across Delta State. Ogboru has been a dogged fighter and a serial contestant, having taken part in every governorship election in Delta State since 2003. The fish merchant turned politician has switched political platforms on a number of occasions to actualise his dreams but all to no avail. Some political analysts familiar with the political trajectory of the state claim that Ogboru won some of those elections he contested but was shortchanged by the system.
Once again, Ogboru looks determined to do battle and pick the crown this time around, but the dynamics of elections do change at every season.
One major disadvantage which might hamper progress is the platform he has chosen to run with this time around. APGA is not particularly popular in the state and might be a hard sell.
Chief Kenneth Gbagi, lawyer, businessman and politician is also a familiar personality in the state. He once served as Minister of State for Education during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Gbagi sees Delta State as a potential industrial hub waiting to be harnessed. As someone with investments in the food and hospitality sectors, Gbagi is itching to lay his hands on the plough to boost the economic fortunes of the state. However, he is running on a platform that is not particularly popular in Delta State.
Comrade Sunny Ofehe is about the youngest in the 2023 governorship race in Delta State. Incidentally, he is running on the platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), one of the 18 registered political parties in the country. Ofehe who is a Nigerian Diasporan based on Rotterdam, Holland is man of ideas. He is deeply fascinated about Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) and what global business partnerships could do to revive the ailing economy of Delta State. Although his messages has made some positive impacts on the young people in Delta State, he might not get the required number of votes to give him victory.
There is palpable tension across the length and breadth of the state because tomorrow's election is expected to throw up a new leadership for the state. Since 1999, the PDP had held sway in Delta State and is considered by many as the stronghold of the party. However, it is becoming evident that some parts of the state are getting tired of the dominance of the PDP and are craving for a change after Governor Ifeanyi Okowa's tenure expires. The performance of the PDP during the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly Elections showed that the PDP was losing ground and this appears to had emboldened the opposition. It will be a fight to finish for the PDP and APC while the other contenders would struggle to push both of them out of the way.
On the long run, the fate of the state will be decided by the electorate casting their ballots at their different polling units across the 25 Local Government Areas of the state.


A recent poll shows that President Joe Biden's favorability falls behind the least popular governor in the United States and that nine out of the ten most popular governors in the country are Republicans.
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) is the most popular governor in the nation with a 71 percent approval rating, according to a recent poll from the Morning Consult that also shows Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont as the only Democrat to crack the top 10.
The list of popular governors had Scott followed by Charlie Baker (R-MA), Larry Hogan (R-MD), Chris Sununu (R-NH), Mark Gordon (R-WY), Jim Justice (R-W.V.), Lamont, Kay Ivey (R-AL), Mike DeWine (R-OH) and Spencer Cox (R-UT).
Meanwhile, Govs. Kate Brown (D-OR), Doug Ducey (R-AZ) and David Ige (D-HI) were at the top of the list for least popular governors.
Brown’s last-place approval rating at just 43 percent was seven points higher than Biden’s approval rating in a recent Quinnipiac poll.
A tally of 46 percent of respondents questioned in the poll said they would rather have the Republican Party win the House if the midterms were held today, compared to just 38 percent preferring Democrats and 16 percent not having an opinion. They also said, by a 46 percent to 40 percent margin, that they would like to see Republicans take back the Senate majority, with 15 percent not offering an opinion.
"An ominous double whammy for the Democrats with midterms less than a year out. The Senate and the House will be up for grabs and voters want the GOP to win the jump ball," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said.
The Quinnipiac poll, conducted Nov. 11-Nov.15, came shortly after an ABC News/Washington Post survey that found the GOP had a 10-point edge over the Democrats in the early midterm voting preferences.

At the age of 8, she made her debut at the New York Philharmonic without rehearsals and a year later she became the world’s youngest violinist to record an album.
Yehudi Menuhin had declared that Sarah Chang was the “ideal violinist, the most wonderful and perfect artist he ever listened to”, the press release mentioned.

Calendar of the Moon
Day of the Underworld II
Altar: The altar should be the same as the night before, with the vinegar water replenished if necessary. Something made of rotting flesh should be placed on the altar, for scent.
Offerings: Whatever the Gods tell you.
Daily Meal: Fasting tonight, until the next morning.
Underworld Invocation II
We are the stricken, dying with death,
Shrouded with weeds, wrapped in our loss,
Silent we wait, clouded by tears,
Torn by the wind, ragged with mist.
Where we are wounded
There is no healing.
Where we decay
Nothing is sound.
Ravaged by night, abandoned by day,
Silent we wait, shadows of grey.
Old in our broken houses of flesh,
Old among ruined pillars of Sun,
Old as the halls to which we descend,
Old as this dark that does not end.
Call: Tonight we go under the ground.
Response: Tonight we are as corpses in the Earth.
Call: On this night, and the next, and the next, we are dead.
Response: On this night, we feel our bodies as they rot.
Call: On this night, we praise the worms and the beetles.
Response: On this night, we learn about the grave.
Call: On this night, we learn that Earth is silence.
Response: On this night, we learn that Earth welcomes us home.
Call: Receive us, Guardians of the Gate!
Response: Receive us, Lords of Death!
(All kneel before the altar for a long time, meditating on rot and decay. The chalice is passed, and all take a sip. Then all rise and leave in silence. That night, each should place under their pillow some dried weeds, or a handful of earth from a graveyard, for a reminder.)

Tshakhuma accused of failing to honour payment commitments
Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivandila have been accused of dragging their feet in paying former player, Jean Munganga the R250 000 they owe him.
Jean Munganga of Black Leopards (Kabelo Leputu/BackpagePix)
The club that has been in the news recently after their surprise buying of Bidvest Wits’ Absa Premiership status is said to have lots of cases where players have taken them to the PSL’s Dispute Resolution Chamber over unpaid salaries and other fees.
Speaking on Limpopo-based radio station Energy FM, Munganga, who joined TTM from Black Leopards at the beginning of the 2019/20 season, said he had been waiting for his payment for a while now.
“Last month I was expecting to get all my money the way we had agreed. Unfortunately, I just found out they have lots of cases, so the PSL has been deducting money from them also. They owed me R250,000,” said Munganga.
“Last month (May), I received R50,000 from their lawyer and they said they would pay-off the rest of the money at the end of June. But (in June) I got R20,000 from the PSL. The outstanding amount is around R130,000 and they say they will pay me at the end of July.
“Hopefully, they will pay my balance at the end of this month because I am tired of this thing. I am sick and tired,” Munganga added.

"The first piece of work by a new English writer to give me any hope for the future of prose fiction." --T. S. Eliot As over-the-top as it is inventive, Durrell's breakthrough novel is a series of sordid vignettes drawn from the lives of decadent artists, doomed bohemians, and continental rascals inhabiting a shabby London hotel, narrated in turns by the unforgettable Lawrence Lucifer and Gregory Death. Together, these characters seek to escape the absurdity of a Europe haunted by devastating war, yet beginning to pitch toward another apocalypse. First published in 1938, and influenced by Henry Miller and the sincere pranksterism of the surrealist movement, The Black Book marks the emergence of one of the most revolutionary voices in twentieth-century English literature. This ebook contains a new introduction by DBC Pierre.
When 16 kids are shot on high school grounds, everyone looks for someone to blame. Meet Vernon Little, who's pinned as an accomplice. So he takes off for Mexico. A Man Booker prize winner.
Hailed by the critics and lauded by readers for its riotously funny and scathing portrayal of America in an age of trial by media, materialism, and violence, Vernon God Little was an international sensation when it was first published in 2003 and awarded the prestigious Man Booker Prize.The memorable portrait of America is seen through the eyes of a wry, young, protagonist. Fifteen-year-old Vernon narrates the story with a cynical twang and a four-letter barb for each of his townsfolk, a medley of characters. With a plot involving a school shooting and death-row reality TV shows, Pierre's effortless prose and dialogue combine to form a novel of postmodern gamesmanship.

The phosphorylation of palladin and the effect on its interaction with actin binding, bundling, and polymerization
Metastatic cell motility, namely breast cancer, has been shown to be regulated in part by the protein palladin. Palladin is a recently described actin binding and bundling protein whose expression level is related to metastatic cancer cell motility. Palladin plays a role in the regulation of actin, a highly abundant protein within a cell, which acts as a cell’s skeleton. Actin is also the structural basis of invasive cellular structures known as invadopodia, which cross the extracellular matrix and allow cells to invade surrounding tissue structures. Palladin has been shown to regulate actin bundles within these invasive structures. Further studies have shown that Akt1, a prominent and highly studied protein kinase, phosphorylates palladin at a linker region between its immunoglobulin domains that are critical for actin bundling. Our work builds upon initial cell-based assays which show that normal cell function is altered when phosphorylation of palladin is misregulated. We utilized biochemical assays to quantify how phosphorylation of palladin affects the structure and function of actin to further understand both of their roles in cancer cell motility.

I made a BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe for dinner tonight and I really love how it turned out. The recipe is from Danielle Walker’s cookbook Against All Grain. While it feels like the ingredient list is pretty substantial, it’s worth it for the incredible flavor at the end. Being a crock pot recipe just ups the recipe’s usefulness for me. My young son really ate it up!

Successful investment bankers have a nose for profitable innovation. In the case of Penn Nursing Board of Advisors member and Wharton alum John J. Rydzewski, he knew as soon as he heard Mary D. Naylor, PhD RN FAAN present early research findings for the Transitional Care Model (TCM) that it was potentially transformational. That led him to recently make a generous gift to Dr. Naylor’s work at Penn Nursing’s NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health.
As a worldwide leader in interdisciplinary and nursing research, the work of our faculty and students is advancing science and delivering solutions that impact every aspect of health and health care.
The Office of Nursing Research, along with our four research centers and partnerships across Penn, provide students and faculty with resources and support that are virtually unparalleled in our field.
Every day the research produced here shapes policy, promotes better healthcare, helps prevent disease, improves quality of life, eliminates health disparities, and develops the scientific knowledge that drives nursing practice.


It is a matchup 25 years in the making. In 1990, UNLV beat Duke to claim the national title. The next season Duke got revenge and ended UNLV’s unbeaten season and hope for back-to-back national titles.
It will only be a rematch for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, however. None of the players who step on the court of the T-Mobile Arena were alive the last time Duke and UNLV played.
Unfortunately for UNLV, this game won’t be much of a tie-breaker for those two early 90s games. Fifth-ranked Duke will likely be favored somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 points.
The one advantage UNLV may have is rest. The Rebels have the entire week off, while Duke will head to New York to play #24 Florida.
But the talent on the court will be overwhelmingly in Duke’s favor. According to Draft Express, four Blue Devils are projected to be first-round draft picks in 2017. Two of those stars played their first game of the year on Saturday, as freshmen Marques Bolden and Jayson Tatum made their debuts against Maine.
Harry Giles still hasn’t played for Duke this year, so Krzyzewski may be mixing and matching just as much as Menzies on Saturday.
UNLV and Duke tip off at 2:15 p.m. at the T-Mobile Arena on December 10. The game will be broadcasted on ESPN.

It was so satisfying finishing my Modified Barley that was made in worsted weight yarn that I decided to put another worsted weight hat back on my needles. I pulled the KnitCircus Ringmaster skein that I got in their grab bag mystery sale. I still had my needles out from the last hat so I cast on 96 stitches and started working 2×2 ribbing in the round.
Well, I didn’t “just” start knitting. This skein of yarn was a prototype for their Four Seasons colorway and it had knots. I found four knots to be exact. So as I hand wound the ball I snipped the knots and used a Russian join to reattach the yarn to itself. My joins aren’t perfect but they will be smoother than the knots!
I pulled out my woolly hand knits and re-loaded my drawers for the Fall. I think I’m good for hats for myself. So this knit will probably go in the the charity or gift pile. It’s sort of machine washable so I feel comfortable setting it free into the world!

MEDIA UPDATE: Mayor delivers coronavirus safety warning
MAYOR Keith Campbell has delivered a media response after a spokesman from Woolworths confirmed one of their Kingaroy employees tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).
He said in a press release this afternoon residents should stay calm, be alert but not alarmed.
"Today the South Burnett Local Disaster Management Group met in response to the current and future impact of the coronavirus known as COVID-19," Cr Campbell said.
"The disaster management group, known as the LDMG, has moved to the official status of 'Lean Forward', to ensure that all agencies within our region work together to prepare and respond, if and when required.
"The LDMG's role in this case is to ensure that we support Queensland Health as the lead agency and make certain that a whole of government response is provided for our people and community," he said.
"The LDMG has been informed by Queensland Health that at this stage there is only one confirmed case of COVID-19, and appropriate steps have been taken to manage this case.
"I want to also confirm that at this time there have been no cases in South Burnett schools or other public facilities."
Cr Campbell said the situation was going to change, and there may be more confirmed cases within the region in the coming period.
However, he assured residents the response to these would be appropriate and led by Queensland Health with support from other government agencies and additional localised support from the LDMG as required.
"From Monday, in response to recent announcements of controls, the LDMG will meet regularly and council will be updating its website and disaster dashboard to ensure up to date information is provided, as it is provided to us.
"In response to the Australian Government's advice in regards to cancellation of non-essential public gatherings of 500 people or more, we will be publishing a register of events that are proceeding or have been cancelled.
"We will provide further details on Monday for event organisers to get in contact with us.
Cr Campbell said with current evidence showing approximately 80 per cent of people with COVID-19 will experience only mild symptoms, with children from zero to 19 years least likely to be affected.
"There are some people in our community who will be at a higher level of risk and I ask that you keep in contact with these friends and family over the coming weeks to ensure their well being," Cr Campbell said.
"I want at this point in time, to call for people to remain calm in our region, we should remain 'alert, but not alarmed'.
"We as with other places across the nation, have seen an increased demand on health and food items at our supermarkets.
"I want to state that this is unnecessary, and that there are currently no interruptions to supply lines.
"I am calling for people to show restraint in their purchasing to ensure that all residents are able to undertake their regular shopping requirements."
As the press release came to an end, Cr Campbell said that people's right to privacy would be maintained at all times by the government and only confirmed and required information for the public interest will be provided, at a time that is provided to us by Queensland Health or other government agencies.
"We know it is absolutely inevitable that COVID-19 will continue to grow in impact in our region.
"The situation will evolve daily and our response will evolve with it.
"I ask people to show respect and remain calm to minimise the impact on our region, our people and our economy," he said.
"People should exercise diligence and judgment, and life should continue as normal as much as possible.
"I will ensure that the community remains informed regularly, and that the people of our region receive the whole of government response required."
In terms of health resources, Cr Campbell said all hospitals had increased preparedness should the current situation worsen.
Community Members who feel unwell and present symptoms of COVID-19 should contact their local hospital to arrange for testing.
Residents are urged to ring ahead, travel to the hospital via car or via the Queensland Ambulance Service.
Once there, remain in the car and alert staff by phone and they will come and collect you from the vehicle.
There is an approximate 20 hour waiting time for results.
Hospitals can be contacted direct via the numbers below:

The catastrophe in Haiti spared the country’s largest – and, I believe, most effective – rural health care provider, Partners In Health. The organization’s principal founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, is on his way to Haiti now with a surgical team. The staff already in Haiti will welcome his arrival, but they have been at work for days now. Indeed, they were some of the first medical personnel to respond to the crisis. This is a large, highly skilled group of about 2000 community health workers, 500 nurses, and 120 doctors. All but a few of them are Haitian. They are spread out now. Thousands of injured people have been traveling from the capital to the hospitals that PIH operates, along with the Ministry of Health, in the Central Plateau – 10 hospitals, all well-equipped and fully functional. Others of the PIH-Haiti team are in the capital Port-au-Prince, where they have set up mobile clinics and where they are now establishing a central base of operations. The plan is to provide emergency care to all comers and to stabilize patients who need higher levels of care and arrange to get them to the PIH hospitals.
Personally, I take hope from the example that PIH has set and is setting again. I think it is one excellent model for the reconstruction of Haiti to come: an endeavor that employs and trains Haitians every step of the way, that builds infrastructure while attending to the basic needs of the poor, that does all it can to strengthen the public sector.
Many people have been writing to ask what they can do. Paul reports, “I just talked to some of my Haitian coworkers who are in Port-au-Prince in the general hospital, and they’ve reported to work. [But] they don't have electricity yet. They don't have the supplies that they need. But there's a lot of Haitian health professionals, doctors, nurses, aides who would like to [do their job], but to do that you need the supplies. You have to have the basics. Gauze, plaster, or other casts. You have to have the equipment that you need. Anesthesia, pain medications, antibiotics. And that's what some of my medical colleagues are asking us for, supplies."
PIH is purchasing and procuring donated supplies around the clock. To aid in these efforts, please consider making a donation to their efforts today.

Green energy across our operations
At Holcim, we are working to increase the share of green energy across all aspects of our business. This is part of our goal to reduce our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
We are harnessing wind power in our plants. In the US, at our Paulding plant we have installed three wind turbines to supply clean wind power to meet electricity needs. This eliminates the equivalent of 9,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, and is just one of our plants using renewable energy sources.
Our plant in Retznei, Austria is leading the way in alternative fuels. Using a technique called co-processing, we recover energy and recycle minerals from waste treatment during the manufacturing of cement. This means no traditional fuels are used to heat the kiln, leading to negative fuel costs and an increased thermal substitution rate.
We also have waste heat recovery programs in place designed to use excess heat from cement kilns to generate electricity. We currently operate eight waste heat recovery units in four countries, with a clear plan to triple the number by 2030.

HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES TO PAY TRIBUTE TO LEMMY KILMISTER AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS
Hollywood Vampires say they’ll pay tribute to Lemmy at next week’s Grammy Awards.
The event will take place at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, on February 15th. And the band featuring Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp, say they’ll perform a Motorhead track in honor of the late rock icon, who died on December 28th at age 70.
Cooper tells Rolling Stone, [Lemmy] was one of those salt-of-the-earth guys. Find me somebody who didn’t love [him]. He’s just one of those guys that’s impossible not to like.”
The band have yet to decide what Motorhead track to play on the night, but Cooper says Ace Of Spades could be in the running – although he’s unsure if he’d copy Lemmy’s distinctive vocals.
Cooper said, “I might do it more Alice Cooper style, but it would still have to have that growl – that guttural voice to make it work. I can’t picture Creedence Clearwater doing that song.”
Hollywood Vampires will also perform Bad As I Am at the bash – a bonus track which features on the deluxe edition on their 2015 self-titled debut. It’s out on February 12th and is available for pre-order.
Cooper will head out on a tour with his solo band for a run of dates in April and May.
additional source: classicrock.teamrock.com
So they are playing during the actual live broadcast? That’s cool! It’s surprising how many people that either don’t listen to Motorhead or don’t listen to any metal actually know “Ace Of Spades”.
Given the premise of this band, I guess it is an honor to make their setlist but you have to be dead. I downloaded 5 songs from the debut album and it’s lotsa fun. With Christopher Lee passing away, I wonder who does the intro now? MOTORHEAD has a song CRADLE TO THE GRAVE that would make some sense. ACE OF SPADES is sacred similar to IT’S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA ROCK N ROLL. Nobody else should sing that one. Joe Perry is a great guitarist but he looks like tan mom.
Nobody gave the GIANT’S much of a chance against the undefeated PATRIOTS. I’ll go BRONCOS-31, PANTHERS-27. The PANTHERS went 15-1 and are a more complete team but Manning going out on top is just too good of a story. If this GUNS N ROSES thing works out, who better to play next years half time show. Can Axl lip sink?
Anybody remember the Rock City Angels, late 80’s band? I am pretty sure Johnny Depp co-wrote some tunes with those guys.
