Happy (Gregorian Calendar) New Year. I started 2022 feeling confident & grounded. I took space & time to co-create with my self & with John. And we also cleaned up the house, made good food, and watched some shitty movies too. All in all the transition from 2021 to 2022 was delightful.
Then, Monday dawned, and with it came an impending dread. Like the whole damn world’s lost its mind, and the ones in power just want us subjugated, trapped, and disconnected. And it was a feeling I couldn’t shake even while spending quality time with comrades like Crystal Mason of Queering Dream and Lisa Burger and Jericha Senyak with Dandelion Arts Finance Training Program and Megan Wilson with Clarion Alley Mural Project.
In between each of these meetings, I napped or stared at a wall. For the brief bits of presence, I became overwhelmed from the sheer volume of decision-making required of each of us as we chart our way through yet another (predictable) surge of COVID. It is both overstimulating and depressing.
So when I woke up Tuesday morning, I needed something both familiar & distant to help ground me a bit, to help me shift my perspective, to stave off early morning spiralling. I decided to return to self portraiture and picked up my pencil and iPad. I snapped a selfie around 4:20am and got to work. It took about three hours to draw, which was three hours of not thinking too hard, of letting my hand make gesture, of letting go.
It's a good reminder that sometimes a remedy to my approaching listlessness is to let my hand go wander. It's a way to quiet the mind and ease my anxiety.

Myanmar (or Burma as it was formerly known) is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia and is also one of the most interesting. It is a country full of mystery and charm.
Bagan is possibly the most awe-inspiring places in the world, yet because it is in Myanmar so few people have ever heard of it. This ancient Burmese capital sits quietly on the banks of the mighty Irrawaddy River. Here, on the Bagan plain, you will find literally hundreds of abandoned temples. In our opinion one of finest destinations in Asia, if not the whole world! You would be silly to go to Myanmar and not see Bagan!
Another of the countries former capitals, Mandalay is home to countless treasures. From the worlds largest book to the magnificent temples and pagodas, from the colonial heritage to the modern face of Myanmar this city will keep you busy for as long as you are there.
Ngapali is certainly Myanmars finest beach and in our opinion one of the best in the region, especially in terms of the surprisingly good standard of accommodation and its remote setting. Perfect for a few days relaxing after a tour around many the cultural sites.
The Golden Rock
One of the most quirky travel destinations we at Oasis have ever been fortunate enough to visit. The “rock” itself is perched high up on a mountain side and takes a fair amount of effort to get to but the effort is well rewarded and the memory of this strange phenomenon will live long in the memory!
Inle Lake is a photographer’s dream destination, the light here is always strange and atmospheric, and this coupled with the fascinating culture that surrounds the lake make it one of our firm favourites. Ensure you have spare film, batteries and/or your battery charger!
Twante pottery village
This fascinating day trip from Yangon is a perfect introduction to rural Myanmar. The boat trip in it self is rewarding, but exploring the small villages where you will be invited in to people’s homes to witness them practicing their ancient art is a real experience. The crafts people will not try to sell you anything, their produce is for the local market only!

Obama tries to assure Greece about NATO commitment
ATHENS, Greece - President Barack Obama says the United States considers the NATO alliance a cornerstone of its security, and that a U.S. commitment to NATO is unwavering. Obama, who arrived in Greece today, is trying to assure the country following the election of Donald Trump. During the campaign, Trump complained about NATO, saying the U.S. has been paying more than its fair share and that he'll have to take a look at the alliance.

Many retailers are downscaling, but that’s certainly not the case for the thrifty side of the market.
Dollar stores and off-price chains are making the most out of increased sales and bargain shoppers and the stats show strong growth in expansion. The dollar stores hold down half the spots on a list of top 10 retailers adding the most new store square footage, according to commercial real estate and analytics firm CoStar.
Dollar General claimed the second spot on the list with 6,529,566 square feet. Family Dollar and Dollar Tree finished at #4 and #5 with 4,272,893 square feet 3,210,000 square feet respectively.
“Part of the appeal is convenience, which makes a big network of stores important,” says Hunter Harris, Vice President of Boston Retail Partners. "Dollar stores also tend to drive growth with new locations, not big growth in sales at existing stores.”
Below is a list of the 10 retailers that acquired the most new square footage as of the second quarter of 2016, according to CoStar:
1. Wal-Mart (Super Centers and Neighborhood Markets), 15,020,000 square feet
2. Dollar General, 6,529,566 square feet
3. Forever 21, 5,700,000 square feet
4. Family Dollar, 4,272,893 square feet
5. Dollar Tree, 3,210,000 square feet
6. Marshalls, 3,007,000 square feet
7. T.J. Maxx, 2,873,989 square feet
8. Dick's Sporting Goods, 2,650,000 square feet
9. Tractor Supply Co., 1,860,000 square feet
10. Ulta Beauty, 1,170,000 square feet

Fed: Iowa Farmland Values Rose in 2009
DES MOINES (AP) - A survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago shows the value of good quality Iowa farmland rose by 3 percent during the last quarter of 2009 and 4 percent during the year.
The report is based on a survey of 214 bankers in its five-state district. It doesn't put a dollar amount on land values.
Chicago Fed economist Richard Oppedahl says despite a 35 percent drop in farm income last year, farmers have financial cushions after a run of several good years.
An annual survey by Iowa State University released in December reported a 2 percent drop in Iowa farm values through November of last year. That survey reported an average value of $4,371 an acre.

I work with a wonderful, caring and experienced staff, which includes my mother, Joan.
“My practice is here to educate and help our patients with improving their oral health. I am passionate about creating a beautiful smile, and I believe it takes careful planning and consideration. I treat patients of all ages. I value getting to know my patients and believe it is rewarding to see how dentistry can bring positive change. Welcome to my practice! I’m excited to share our passion for dentistry with you.
“I regularly attend advanced continuing education because I think it is valuable to employ state-of-the-art technologies and up-to-date materials to provide the latest in clinical advancements.
“In all areas of dental health, Arbor Dental Group is focused on providing you an outstanding experience. We strive to deliver to you dentistry and service that will consistently exceed your expectations. Our staff is dedicated to hearing your concerns, understanding your specific needs and building a lasting relationship with you.
“I met my wife after graduating from dental school. We were married in 2009 at Mariners Church in Irvine, where you can find us on weekends. Our lives are filled each day with family. We have two sons, Matthew and Weston, and we welcomed baby #3 on July 5 2016, our beautiful daughter, Kate. We have a rescued dog, Joey. My family and I reside in Irvine, where I grew up.

“Welcome to Arbor Dental Group! I am proud to be a founding member of Arbor Dental Group, which was started in 1980. Our group philosophy provides patients a wide range of providers and services to give open options for appointment times and treatment consultations. Our core philosophy is to offer excellence in family dental care in a friendly, warm environment.
“My interest in dentistry began at a very early age. A dentist spoke to our fourth-grade class about oral hygiene and proper nutrition. This inspired me to write an article about proper oral healthcare and nutrition, which was published in the school newsletter. I was also inspired, as a teenager, by my next-door neighbor who was our family dentist. He was kind enough to talk to me about a career in dentistry and gave me advice regarding the educational path to take to become a dentist. I focused on the goal of being a part of the dental profession throughout college and was excited when it became a reality. The profession has proved to be everything I had hoped.
“I love having a close one-on-one working relationship with people. I enjoy improving their general health, self-image, appearance and confidence. The dental profession, as other medical fields, is constantly evolving. Paper records and charts, chemically developed radiographs and impression materials have evolved into a new technology of computer data, digital radiographs and digital CAD/CAM imaging. Dental materials have been developed that provide improved esthetics and durability. Technology has provided innovative ways of tooth replacement. It has been exciting to see the constant evolution and innovations of the profession. What has not changed, though, is my goal to give an interactive, patient-centric dental experience. Treatment plans are customized and carefully planned to keep in mind the individual needs and desires of each patient. I, as well as the other members of Arbor Dental Group, am dedicated to providing precise care of the highest quality possible with a calm, gentle, comfortable experience using the most current, contemporary technology available.”

New Genetic Tests for Dogs
By David Alderton
Major new breakthroughs in understanding the genetic basis of various canine ailments are starting to be achieved as a result of funding of nearly $2 million over 5 years from the Kennel Club Charitable Trust. This money is supporting the work of the Kennel Club Genetics Center, which is located at the Animal Health Trust (AHT), close to the English town of Newmarket.
The money is being used for research into approximately 25 inherited canine diseases, with the ultimate aim of developing new diagnostic tests. These will enable carriers of these ailments to be detected and so should improve the health and welfare of future generations of dogs.
The research team first unmasked the genetic mutation responsible for primary lens luxation in a number of breeds. This was followed by the identification of a mutation which causes progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) in golden retrievers and in Gordon setters.
PRA is a well-recognized inherited condition to which a number of breeds of dog are predisposed. The condition is characterized by bilateral degeneration of the retina, causing progressive vision loss that ultimately leads to total blindness. Although there is no treatment for PRA, dog breeders will be able to use DNA tests to screen their animals for the condition and to factor the results into their breeding programs. The test will be available from March 14, priced at the equivalent of $78 per sample.
Gordon Setter Survey
Gordon setter owners who submitted their dogs’ DNA for this study reported that the affected dogs developed night blindness in the first instance. This is indicative of a rod-cone degeneration, so the team at the Kennel Club Genetics Centre termed this mutation rcd4 (for rod-cone degeneration 4) to distinguish it from other, previously described forms of rod-cone degeneration.
The mutation is recessive and 19 out of the 21 Gordon setters that showed clinical signs of PRA in the Genetics Centre’s study were homozygous (with both genes affected), indicating that this is the major cause of PRA in the breed. The other two dogs in the study had PRA but did not carry the rcd4 mutation, however, indicating there might be another, genetically distinct and rarer form of PRA also present in the breed.
*Alongside the money committed by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, the research that led to identification of the rcd4 mutation was funded by many different organizations, including the British Gordon Setter Club, the Gordon Setter Field Trial Society, the Gordon Setter Association, the Gordon Setter Club of Scotland and the LUPA project, as well as several private individuals who also made significant donations.

Yeah, I’m not saying there are/were no issues at Undead Labs, but using Glassdoor reviews as a source is quite iffy. Especially since there is no form of verification at Glassdoor.
Oh gods… I have stories about Glassdoor reviews of where I work that I know are objectively false. That is not journalism…

Significant amount if post launch support and improvements. They were early pre-production when the game was announced at E3. I’m kinda suprised people were expecting it anytime soon.
Woof. Morbius is looking to be pretty bad. I wonder if it will do good at box office. What’s up with Sony and their mediocre movies? Should be glad box office is in their favor, at least with Uncharted.
sony movies are definitly getting much better, but they still have a few flops now and again
or maybe you forgot ‘No Way Home’, which was in more ways a Sony movie than a Disney one
Are they though? I believe Spider Man had some serious Disney involvement ?
Was it? Felt more Marvel than Sony unless you’re talking about the production and budget. I haven’t trust Sony in their use of Spider-Man franchise property aside from Spiderverse and I suppose the game if we have to count that. When it comes to live-action, I fear more than excited.
Opened twitter to see what are the general thoughts on the kotaku article but got April fooled three times in a row instead .
85 % of the people working on No Way Home were from Marvel . Sony only did the VFX which was also outsourced .
Ya IDK but I was expecting sometime 2023 but its looking like 2024 or later
okay, no way home wasnt the best example, and looking at their live action movies, there isnt much to indicate
Honestly, I was thinking more about their animation division. A studio that was once infamous for releasing the Emoji movie, recently has improved their reputation with more daring exciting projects like Spiderversve, Mitchells vs the Machines, and Wish
Yup . Their animation department is amazing and thats primarily because Sony Pictures does not control it .
Oh really? That explains it. Then again, they’re lucky to acquire the guys who legit made great animated movies.
I’m officially dizzy from the circle. Hopefully this is the last one. That said so what’s the plan.

Even when I was briefly in Edinburgh
I dreamed of walking the streets of Lisbon
or Porto, looking into the faces of older men
and wondering if this one was my father,
the one I had never seen, never known.
the one my Jewish mother described
in detail to the social worker who took me from her
shortly after she gave me life.
It is many years later, now my mother
has a face, discovered in the twisting path
of a double helix, good West Virginia
Jewish stock, Lithuania left far behind.
I may someday visit Lisbon, I hear
it is a lovely city, but the faces will all
be alien to me, and there I will dream
of my day touring the Highlands
of Scotland, the Isle of Skye, and which
of the McDonald’s or McAllister’s might
be kin and which Tartan I can
rightfully claim as my own.
It is just that sort of summer day
when the sparse clouds crawl ever more slowly
across the city, peering down, as if wishing
they could end their journey, knowing this won’t happen.
On the fields of Falkirk and Culloden Moor
stained with the blood of ancestors who, only now,
claim me as one of them, allow me to wear the tartan,
the clouds build and flee without ever pausing
to peer down on the carnage below.
They want only to move on, continue the passage,
give endless chase to the sun, certain
they will fail and fall, only to take up
the chase again onward into eternity.
The fado fades
under the weight
of the Highland pipes
and dreams of Cascais
fade into the Scottish sky.
Where once I thought
of wandering Lisbon
looking for my face,
I imagine I see it
in the Grampians, reflected
off the lochs whose
headwaters now feed
One joy of being adopted is that what you imagine is not always what really is. For years, based on what my birth mother told the adoption agency, my father was “a Portuguese Jew.” DNA later showed that I had no Portuguese blood at all, and I doubt my Russell and McDonald paternal ancestors spent much time in Lisbon.
Macbeth had a witches problem,
but that hardly made him unique.
It’s true that Scottish witches
are more difficult to deal with
than those of much of the rest
of Western Europe, something to do
with being under English dominion
for so damned long that Erse
is a nearly forgotten tongue,
but you’d think a General would
at least speak the local lingo.
Still, you have to wonder
just how things could have
turned out if only he had
a pair of ruby slippers
to get him back to Inverness,
for an afternoon dip in the Loch.
I was a foundling
wandering from Guinness Stout
to Ouzo and back,
in search of identity.
In Schul I would cry out
to Him asking, “Who am I?”
and He would answer,
“you are, you are.”
of my mother’s grandfather
a cacophony lost
in Oporto, Lisboa.
On the streets of Vienna
I thought I saw him, and ran
to find only shadows.
In villages along the Douro
into fields shorn
for winter’s approach.
The Capitol’s penumbra
found him laughing,
reflected in my mirror,
staring at my thinning hair
I was of all places
and of none until
on Glasgow’s streets
I walked his steps
and smelled the Clyde
and Talisker, his breath mine.
I don’t know what
I am, the Buddha said.
I don’t know why
my mother gave me up at birth
or how many cousins walk
the streets of Glasgow
or where I lost my first tooth
I don’t know what
became of the nickel
or why the tooth fairy was so tight
or who will wash the blood
from the streets of Fallujah
I don’t know how
my iPhone drains batteries
like a thirsty drunk
or why fungus grows underground
or why the Sudanese child stares through
I don’t know why
my dough rises, only to fall mockingly,
or why forced to eat manna, the Jews

Rolls-Royce all-electric ‘Spirit of Innovation’ aircraft is officially the world’s fastest all-electric aircraft, having set two new world records which have now been independently confirmed. At 15.45 (GMT) on 16 November 2021, the aircraft reached a top speed of 555.9 km/h (345.4 mph) over 3 kilometres, smashing the existing record by 213.04 km/h (132mph). In further runs at the UK Ministry of Defence’s Boscombe Down experimental aircraft testing site, the aircraft achieved 532.1km/h (330 mph) over 15 kilometres – 292.8km/h (182 mph) faster than the previous record. Both records have been officially verified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the World Air Sports Federation that controls and certifies world aeronautical and astronautical records. During its record-breaking runs, the aircraft, which is part of the UK Government-backed ACCEL or ‘Accelerating the Electrification of Flight’ project, also clocked up a maximum top speed of 623km/h (387.4mph) making it the world’s fastest all-electric vehicle.
Warren East, CEO, Rolls-Royce, said: “Achieving the all-electric world-speed record is a fantastic achievement for the ACCEL team and Rolls-Royce. I would like to thank our partners and especially aviation start-up Electroflight, for their collaboration in achieving this pioneering breakthrough. The advanced battery and propulsion technology developed for this programme has exciting applications for the Advanced Air Mobility market.
This is another milestone that will help make ‘jet zero’ a reality and supports our ambitions to deliver the technology breakthroughs society needs to decarbonise transport across air, land and sea.”
Half of the ACCEL project’s funding is provided by the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), in partnership with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and Innovate UK.
Airplane manufacturer Airbus has signed a deal to supply Azorra with 22 A220 family aircraft, including 20 A220-300s and two ACJ TwoTwenty aircraft.
Azorra is a US aircraft lessor, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, focused on executive, regional and mid-size, or crossover, aircraft.
The manufacturer, which employs around 4,500 staff at its wing-making plant at Broughton, near Chester, says its purchase is the latest endorsement for the A220 family aircraft and reaffirms the strong market demand for Airbus’s newest single aisle aircraft.
Boeing is welcoming 10 new companies to join the third cohort of Aerospace Xelerated, its UK-based start-up accelerator whose first two groups have gone on to raise more than £50 million in additional funding and create more than 100 jobs across the country.
Start-ups using artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous technology to solve key challenges across aerospace and defence were chosen among 148 applications from around the world for the 12-week program. The start-ups will benefit from an optional £100,000 equity investment from Boeing, introductions to a network of investors and the wider industry. A Boeing-themed week of meetings and workshops have begun.
Airbus has announced plans to take on 6,000 extra staff over 2022 with sites at Broughton and Filton expected to benefit.
The aerospace giant was forced to cut the workforce when the pandemic hit as production levels were slashed.
Broughton saw its staff numbers fall from around 6,000 to just over 4,000.
But the company surpassed its 600 plane delivery target in 2021 and is now looking to increase production again.
Airbus delivered 611 planes in 2021 – including the last ever A380 super-jumbo.

This lavishly produced volume is Ackroyd’s omnivorous paean to “the shortest river in the world to acquire such a famous history.” Eschewing standard organization, Ackroyd jumps from today’s posh London banks to Roger Bacon’s observatory at Grandpont to Dickens’s “deathlike and mysterious” waterway. We learn about the riverbank’s many species of willow (white, weeping, crack, cane osier), and about the Retribution and the Belliqueux, eighteenth-century prison boats that each held hundreds of men. A chapter on types of sludge through history makes one grateful for today’s raw sewage, as opposed to the “Intrails of bestes” that washed up in the fifteenth century. A survey of the many ways in which the river can kill notes that most Thames suicides remain “anonymous and unlamented.” Not every tidbit will appeal to every reader, but the book demands to be read as it was written, according to one’s fancy. ♦

On the consideration of Uzbekistan’s National Report within the framework of Universal Periodic Report of UN Human Rights Council
On December 11, 2008 during the Third session of the Working Group of UN Human Rights Council (HRC) the National Report of Uzbekistan was considered within the framework of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
The delegation of Uzbekistan informed HRC of large-scale transformations in political, economic, social and judicial spheres in the Republic as well as of the Program of events dedicated 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
55 delegations have participated in interactive debates on the report. The overwhelming majority of speakers have recognized a substantial progress in promoting and protecting human rights in Uzbekistan and expressed full support for the reforms in the political, economic, social and judicial spheres in Uzbekistan. They underscored structural nature, depth and consistency of the democratic transformations in Uzbekistan and highly regarded the decisions on the abolition of death penalty, introducing the institute of “Habeas Corps”, signifying the role of political parties in a democratic society, establishing the institute of Children’s Ombudsman, continuing visits of ICRC to penitentiaries as well as the progressive growth of the quantity of NGO and Mass Media.
Delegations of UN member-countries stressed that the National Report of Uzbekistan reflected the progress in the sphere of country’s democratic renewal as well as its commitment to the procedures of UPR and a dialogue with HRC.
In this regard, Uzbekistan’s cooperation with UNHCHR and structural bodies of the United Nations as well as establishment of the Parliamentary Commissioner on Human Rights and the National Center on Human Rights were highly regarded.
Especially, they noted the efforts undertaken in the sphere of “uprooting” discrimination against women and children, signifying women’s role in public and political live of the country, promoting the rights for education and spreading human rights culture by virtue of the campaigns on informing population of human rights including the National Action Plan dedicated to 60th Anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
HRC members stressed that “Uzbekistan’s policy in the sphere of human rights is implemented in accordance with the fundamental principles and norms developed by the United Nations”. At the same time, it was noted that in 2008 Uzbekistan became a party to 7 fundamental international documents in the sphere of human rights including abolishment of death penalty, protecting children’s rights, combating trafficking in persons, transnational organized crime, corruption and etc. as well as following adoption of the National Action Plan (for the period covering 2007 – 2011) on further improving the lives of children and other laws stipulating the abovementioned issues.
The members of the Working Group welcomed the statement of Uzbek delegation concluding that Uzbekistan will undertake every effort on further improving the judicial framework for prosecuting and punishing for the use of torture and other forms of ill-treatment. In this regard, it was noted that Uzbekistan “has undertaken efforts worth of commending after recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur on torture after his visit to Uzbekistan in 2002”.
On the outcome of the consideration appropriate recommendations were put forward and the delegation of Uzbekistan has accepted a majority of them.

Searching for the Meaning of Life
Daily Bible Reading – Ecclesiastes 1-3; Psalm 45; Ephesians 2
Today’s Key Passage – Ecclesiastes 1:12 – 2:11
It is an age-old question. What is the meaning of life? For thousands of years people have searched for the answer to this question, and King Solomon was no different. In our key passage today, Solomon chronicles his search for meaning in his life. He began by looking to human wisdom as the source of meaning, but found that the more wisdom he gained the more sorrow he found. (Vss. 1:12-18) Solomon then tried to find meaning in the pleasures of this world, but once again was left unsatisfied. (Vss. 2:1-3) He looked for meaning in the projects he completed. (Vss. 2:4-6) He built the temple, his own palace, and cities, but once again, he found that his efforts did not bring him true satisfaction. Solomon was a very rich man, so he thought perhaps he could find meaning in his possessions. (Vss. 2:7-10) Sadly, no matter how much he owned he once again found no real happiness in his possessions. As Solomon tirelessly searched for meaning in this life, time and time again he came up empty-handed. Solomon said, “when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.” (Vs. 2:11)
Today people still search endlessly for the meaning of life. Just like Solomon, most of the time people search for that meaning in the wrong places. They search for meaning by gaining knowledge. They read books, scour the Internet, and watch the news in an effort to find true meaning. They look for meaning in the pleasures of this world, sometimes in the form of healthy hobbies and other times in the form of destructive addictions. They search for meaning in their work, and toil away all the while feeling unsatisfied and empty. There are so many places people can search for meaning in this life, but sadly all but one of them lead to exactly the same place. All but one of them lead to a meaningless chasing of the wind. There is only one road that is divergent. There is only one path that leads to a different destination. There is only one place to find true meaning in this life, and that place is in the person of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:15-17 says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Jesus Christ is the source of all things, and when we know Him as our Lord and Savior, we know what it means to find the true meaning of life.

One goal of our campaign is making it safe to walk and cycle to and from school. That means you have to get across the roads on your way to school, and roads near schools need to put the needs of families walking or cycling to school ahead of through traffic and parents driving. Flashing 20 mph signs do not do this.
What roads are trouble here? Here are some, we welcome the suggestion of others, roads where speeding traffic makes walking to school dangerous:
- Ashley Hill, linking St Werburgh’s with Montpelier
- Tyndall’s Park Avenue, where students cross on their way to college
- Cotham Road. It’s a through route, with a school on each side; two more nearby.
We have some good news on that last road. Some of the school parents, and some local residents, have got in touch with us and we’ve been working together on options for Zebra Crossings. And here is the good news: the school supports it, the councillor for half the street, Neil Harrison, may even have some money. We just need to push for it and for bicycle parking. Which is where everyone’s help is needed. We’re going to put up a petition on the council web site, and we want everyone who supports having a city that you can walk round to sign up.
More details soon.

630 Yorkshire Children Risk Waking Up Homeless This Christmas
A charity says more children in Britain face waking up homeless this Christmas than any other year in nearly a decade.
The figure stands at 120,000 children nationally.
Shelter also says the number of families living in emergency accommodation, like B and Bs and hostels, has also risen, by nearly a fifth in a year.
630 children in Yorkshire and the Humber face spending this Christmas homeless and in temporary accommodation.
Tracey Nathan, Shelter Sheffield hub manager, said: "News that over 600 children face spending Christmas homeless in Yorkshire and the Humber will bring heartache to thousands of people across the region. But the sad fact is, fifty years since Shelter was founded, too many families still need our help.
"Almost daily at our Sheffield hub our advisers speak to parents desperate to find somewhere safe and affordable they can raise their family. Imagine losing your home and being forced to live in temporary accommodation, often for months on end, never knowing when you might have a place to call home again - this is the kind of emotional and mental turmoil no parent wants their child to endure.
"That's why we urgently need the public's support to help us to continue to be there for the hundreds of families in Yorkshire and the Humber who'll need us this Christmas. Join us and together we will not rest until every homeless child has a place to call home."
The charity are launching a Christmas appeal.

In honor of Eid, the Afghan Taliban introduced a three-day truce — besides towards overseas forces — to coincide with the Afghan authorities’s 10-day ceasefire for Eid.
However on Sunday, a suicide bomber attacked close to the Nangarhar governor’s compound, killing at the very least 18 individuals and wounding at the very least 49, provincial spokesman Attaullah Khoghyani mentioned.
There was no quick declare of duty for Sunday’s assault.
The variations between the Taliban and ISIS
It isn’t stunning that ISIS claimed duty for Saturday’s assault that killed Taliban members. The 2 teams have been butting heads of their quest for dominance in Afghanistan.
Difficult makes an attempt at peace
The Taliban have inflicted frequent violence in Afghanistan, with the final word aim of taking up and imposing its strict interpretation of Islamic legislation. The group managed Afghanistan till its 2001 ouster by the US-led coalition that invaded following the 9/11 assaults.
Present Afghan President Ashraf Ghani first spoke about the potential of a ceasefire with the Taliban in February, when he mentioned the federal government was prepared to acknowledge the Taliban as a reputable political get together as a part of a possible settlement.
And over the previous few days, Afghan journalists, college students and diplomats have reported uncommon scenes of peace between Taliban members and Afghan forces and civilians. Photographs confirmed handshakes and hugs in lots of components of the nation.
CNN can not independently confirm these photos, however a contract journalist confirmed he noticed comparable scenes in Logar province on Friday and Saturday.
Afghan diplomat Zardasht Shams tweeted Friday, “Fascinating photos from throughout Afghanistan on the eve of Eid Day #ceasefire Afghan Military & Taliban hugging one another. Could this ceasefire sustains perpetually.”
And a photograph tweeted by an Afghan information correspondent confirmed what gave the impression to be a Taliban fighter and an Afghan service member taking a selfie.
Taliban’s ceasefire ends
Kabul metropolis police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai mentioned some unarmed Taliban had entered the Afghan capital Saturday. They handed over their weapons on the entrance — and their arms to be given them again once they left the town, he mentioned.
Regardless of reviews that the Taliban’s ceasefire is likely to be extended, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mojahid instructed CNN on Sunday, “we have now no intention to increase that.”
Ehsan Popalzai reported from Kabul; Holly Yan reported and wrote from Atlanta. CNN’s Laura Smith-Spark contributed to this report.


Less than one in ten (8%) strongly believed the true number of those trapped in slavery (estimated by the Home Office at 13,000), while a third wrong thought only women were affected.
There were also misconceptions about the types of work connected with modern-day slavery. Unsurprisingly, sex work (84%) and domestic labour (64%) were the most frequent suggestions among those polled.
But people had less awareness of slavery in industries such as agriculture (44%), retail supply chains (22%) and beauty (11%).
John Oldfield, Director of the Wilberforce Institute, said: “Modern-day slavery often plays out in plain sight and can be difficult to detect, especially if people don’t know what signs to look for, which our research has highlighted is the case.
"Modern slavery is an issue that won’t be solved until everyone opens their eyes and commits to tough action.”
Kevin Hyland, the UK Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, said: “This campaign by the University of Hull is both eye-catching and eye-opening.
"The University has not only revealed important findings, but has creatively done something about it. This research will help policy makers and academics alike to better tailor their activities and bring an end to this injustice.”


text: Background/Study Context Older adults show age-related decline in complex-sentence comprehension. sentences than for Cobicistat plausible sentences; however, no interaction was found between plausibility and age group. A regression Cobicistat analysis revealed that inhibition efficiency, as measured by a task that required resistance to proactive interference, predicted comprehension of implausible sentences in older adults only. Consistent with the compensation hypothesis, the older adults with better inhibition skills showed better comprehension Cobicistat than those with poor inhibition skills. Conclusion The findings suggest that semantic implausibility, along with syntactic complexity, increases linguistic and cognitive processing loads on auditory sentence comprehension. Moreover, the contribution of inhibitory control to the processing of semantic plausibility, particularly among older adults, suggests that the partnership between cognitive capability and vocabulary comprehension is highly influenced by age group. Language comprehension can be a complicated skill that pulls upon cognitive capabilities aswell as linguistic understanding. Understanding efficiency might vary predicated on the framework of vocabulary make use of, task difficulty (e.g., linguistic and cognitive needs), or modality (e.g., oral or written linguistic input). Moreover, individual differences in general cognitive ability, education level, and vocabulary size may also contribute to performance on language tasks. Age is another variable that contributes to language processing. Earlier research has demonstrated that older adults show preserved language abilities in some areas (e.g., increased vocabulary skills) but decreased performance in other areas (e.g., language comprehension and perception) (see, e.g., Goral, Spiro, Albert, Obler, & Connor, 2007; Schneider, Daneman, & Pichora-Fuller, 2002; Tun & Wingfield, 1999; Wingfield & Tun, 2001). Research over the past decade suggests a link between language comprehension and underlying cognitive abilities. Older adults show poorer spoken sentence comprehension especially when tasks involve greater processing demands, such as in syntactically complex sentences (e.g., Wingfield & Stine-Morrow, 2000; Sommers, 1996). Many researchers attribute this decline specifically to deficits in working memory and interest control (e.g., Goral et al., 2011; Wingfield & Grossman, 2006). Slower digesting acceleration and limited interest capability possess frequently been noticed among old adults, possibly accounting for difficulties comprehending sentences with complex syntactic structures (e.g., Tun, Benichov, & Wingfield, 2010). Studies examining sentence comprehension in healthy aging have utilized on-line processing and off-line performance measures, sometimes with inconsistent results. For example, age-related differences that have been reported with off-line measures, such as postsentential comprehension probes (e.g., DeDe, Caplan, Kemtes, & Waters, 2004; Stine-Morrow, Ryan, & Leonard, 2000), sometimes disappear in online processing measures, such as self-paced listening paradigms. This apparent discrepancy has been explained by Caplan and Waters (1999), who suggest that online processing measures do not require the same amount of working memory resources as offline measures and therefore do not always show age-related differences in performance. Below, we review results of both online and offline measures of sentence comprehension to provide evidence for the considerable contributions of cognitive abilities to comprehension performance. Older adults with better cognitive abilities may demonstrate comparable comprehension performance to younger adults, especially in online processing (e.g., Wingfield & Grossman, 2006). Wingfield and Grossman (2006) found that older adults who perform as well as younger adults during sentence comprehension recruit additional brain areas in doing so (i.e., increased brain activity in the dorsal area of the left inferior frontal cortex, considered crucial for maintaining and rehearsing stored Rabbit polyclonal to JAK1.Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), is a member of a new class of protein-tyrosine kinases (PTK) characterized by the presence of a second phosphotransferase-related domain immediately N-terminal to the PTK domain.The second phosphotransferase domain bears all the hallmarks of a protein kinase, although its structure differs significantly from that of the PTK and threonine/serine kinase family members. verbal information in working memory). In the same study, older adults showed contralateral neural activation in the right posterolateral temporal-parietal region to compensate for the reduced activation in core language areas of the brain (i.e., left temporal-parietal region). Fiber tracts connecting Cobicistat frontal regions to posterior ones bilaterally have also been linked to better comprehension among older adults (Hyun et al., in revision). As a compensatory strategy for declines in comprehension, Wingfield and Grossman (2006) posit.

The 7,400 square metre scheme, to be known as Gateshead Quays, would sit adjacent to the southern end of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge between the Sage Gateshead cultural venue and the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art on the site of the existing Mill Road car park.
According to a design and access statement, the site "is perceived as the last jigsaw piece in the [town's] quayside development [and] will ensure a holistic 'entertainment destination creation' whereby all other existing and future venues work together to compliment and harmonise with one another".
The document adds: "It is clear that the proposed mixed-use development comprising a multi-functional indoor arena, exhibition and conference centre and dual-banded hotel fully conforms to the adopted local plan and other material planning conditions."
The document also says that the proposals "seek to drive forward the continued regeneration of the Gateshead Quays area by delivering a landmark development of excellent design on a currently vacant site".
The plans have been submitted by Ask:PATRIZIA - a joint venture between Ask Real Estate and PATRIZIA AG, a real estate investment partner.
Lichfields is planning consultancy for the scheme while architect firm HOK is producing the site masterplan as well as designing the arena and conference and exhibition centre.
John Hughes, managing director of Ask Real Estate said: “We have undertaken a programme of public consultation with local stakeholders and neighbours which has informed our plans for Gateshead Quays.
“We are hopeful that the scheme will achieve full planning consent later this year.”

Team members of the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol BarnBridge are being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the latest regulatory tussle faced by a crypto company in the country.
BarnBridge offers interest rate swaps that allow for any variable yield offered by crypto platforms, such as Aave or Compound, to be swapped to a fixed rate. It had just over $1.2 million locked tokens as of Friday. At its peak the protocol held $500 million in users’ assets.
“I am letting you know that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Barnbridge DAO and individuals associated with the DAO,” wrote Douglas Park, duly elected legal counsel to Barnbridge DAO, in a Discord message on Friday morning.
BarnBridge’s BOND tokens slumped over 10% following the Discord message posted by Park.
“Because the SEC’s investigation is ongoing and non-public, I am limited in the information that I will share publicly,” Park added.
Park said that existing liquidity pools on BarnBridge should be closed and that all work on Barnbridge-related products should stop given the SEC actions. Individuals submitting work will not be compensated, he added.
Further specifics of the investigation have not been publicly released.

Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG – The North Decatur Youth Football League recently held its annual awards banquet to celebrate the closing of the 2013 football season.
This season held substantial changes to NDYFL, including a new league, a new championship for one division, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for another. The players and parents all had an opportunity to relive the fun and look forward to the beginning of work for the year to come.
One of the most significant changes for the 2013 season involved a change of leagues. This season, the NDYFL joined the Central Indiana Banta Football League, one of the oldest and most established leagues in the state of Indiana. The CIBFL is composed of teams of players from Kindergarten through sixth grade from programs in Beech Grove, Bartholomew County, Edinburgh, Indian Creek, Brown County, Decatur County Nightmares, Triton Central, Indianapolis Lutheran, Trader’s Point Christian Academy. For the 2013 season, NDYFL fielded teams in the C league (K-2), B league (3-4), and two teams in the A league (fifth and sixth).
While all of the North Decatur teams fared well in their inaugural season with the CIBFL, two teams had the opportunity to play in championship games this year. The fifth grade JV team lost a close-fought battle to perennial favorite Indy Lutheran Jr. Saints in the JV championship game. Earlier in the season, the fifth grade team delivered the Junior Saints their only defeat in the past three years and the young Chargers held their own throughout the championship tournament. The NDYFL C team, comprised of players in Kindergarten through second grade, dominated their league and ultimately won the CIBFL championship for that division. The C-team went 10-0 through the regular season and playoffs and outscored their opponents 230 – 64. The 21 player squad scored on every possession except one and gave up only one turnover for the entire season. The championship trophy for the C-team now sits in the North Decatur Elementary School trophy case.
In addition to the great play on the field, the league also celebrated a once in a lifetime experience for the players. The NDYFL A-team, comprised of players in fifth and sixth grade, had the opportunity to play at Lucas Oil Stadium before the match-up between the Indianapolis Colts and the St. Louis Rams. The team arrived early and played an exhibition match against a team selected from the Evansville Bosse youth football program. Following the exhibition game, the players, parents, and coaches attended the game. Additionally, the Colts organization offered the players and coaches the opportunity to attend the pre-game activities on the field and hold the flag during the national anthem. Players had the chance to greet and wish good luck to their favorite Colts players and Indianapolis Head Coach Chuck Pagano personally greeted each player. The whole team greatly enjoyed the experience and the NDYFL Board hopes to be able to offer similar experiences for future teams.

Along with the full text (in English) of the conversation between Dr. MR Rajagopal, the pioneering palliative care specialist in India and Dr. SS Lal, renowned public health care expert.
Dr Lal: Palliative care is a topic where a lot of discussions are happening in recent times. Today we are discussing this topic with a veteran in the field of palliative care, Dr MR Rajagopal, whom I personally view as one of my teachers. Dr Rajagopal has made very important interventions in the palliative care field in India.
Sir, Palliative care is often highly misunderstood as a care regime. I remember a doctor getting angry when his ailing wife was advised to be given palliative care. Even the medical community is not well-aware. So, my first question is very basic . What is Palliative Care?
Dr Rajagopal: We need a patient-centred approach in health care. As a medical student, I have seen many instances of patients suffering acute pain while others looked at it as a normal thing. Doctors and medical students who learn from them often prefer to turn their faces away from this pain. Now I understand that this reaction comes from a sort of helplessness. We did not know how to address this pain.
Dr Lal: As a child, I have also seen many patients suffer for days and months. Has the situation changed now? We all used to see pain just as an inevitable part of life. What do you think?
Dr Rajagopal: Only 4% of Indians have access to palliative care. 96% do not have access. Even the doctors who study MBBS and MD do not learn about pain relief. Palliative Care became part of our MBBS curriculum only in 2019.
Dr Lal: I also have felt that we are lacking something in our approach to pain. The common attitude is that we are destined to suffer pain.
Dr Rajagopal: Everybody compares other people’s pain to the pain that they have experienced sometime back in their lives. However, the other person’s pain could be more intense and we cannot know that. One might have experienced the pain of bone fracture or labour pain. Of the total palliative care needs of a society, only 30% is related to cancer. For example, Ischemic pain sometimes is far more unbearable than cancer pain. Sometimes the patient will suffer this pain for months or even years. Sometimes I feel there is this reluctance to address pain just because the solution is so simple. If expensive technology were involved, there would have been more interest for all. There is no glamour in this. This is not elite. Maybe that is the reason.
Dr Lal: Even now the public is not fully aware of the scope and importance of palliative care. Who can make them more aware? Do you think domain specialisation is a necessary prerequisite?
Medical Council of India has approved palliative medicine as a speciality even 7 years before it became part of MBBS curriculum. There are 10 centres in India and one in Kerala. Yet, there are only 30 palliative specialisation seats in these centres taken altogether. In a country of 1.3 billion population, we have only this many seats.
Dr Rajagopal: How effective has the government intervention been in educating the public about palliative care? No such intervention has been there from the government to educate the people. A National Programme for Palliative Care was instituted in 2012. Keshav Deshraj, the then Health Principal Secretary, had taken the initiative for that. That programme has a comprehensive approach in it. However, it was not implemented effectively. The National Health Policy of 2017 focused on instituting palliative care as part of primary health care. Under it, national level and state level trainers were trained during the Covid years. Now the policy has to be implemented by state governments.
Dr Lal: As you said, palliative medicine has become affordable for all. Yet, there are so many who do not have access to it. How can we fill in this gap in implementation?
Dr Rajagopal: There are huge gaps in implementation. For example, palliative care was included in the primary health sector. We all applaud that. But it is not there in tertiary care. Until someone’s disease is concluded as incurable, there is no provision for pain relief for the pain, for asthma, or depression that the patient suffers from. He or she has to reach the village in their last two weeks of life to get palliative care.
Isn’t that an irony? Doesn’t the care need to begin during the tertiary care days itself? Somehow, even the National Healthcare Policy is silent about tertiary sector palliative care. The World Health Organisation documents stress the need for palliative care in the primary sector. This is so because they already have palliative care in the tertiary sector. We mindlessly copied those guidelines.
In Kerala, the palliative policy was adopted in 2008. There was this problem in that too. The budget came from the National Rural Health Mission. So there was no specific budget allocated for the tertiary care sector. In 2019, when the policy was revised in Kerala, tertiary care was added. Due to Covid, its implementation is now delayed. Now the steps are being taken to implement in the tertiary sector.
The Kerala government has been very responsive to our demand to revamp the policy when we asked for it in 2019. Now budget allocation is required to implement the new policy. A few months before, some money was allocated to all Medical Colleges to start palliative units but the money has not reached the colleges yet as there were technical issues.
Dr Lal: In Kerala, the average longevity has increased. However, Kerala’s population has a high occurrence of lifestyle diseases and we do not have sufficient systems in place to support them when they need it. The kids who are abroad or working somewhere else come back for a few weeks for end of life care of their parents and the care is limited to it.
Dr Rajagopal: This is a very important issue. Ten percent of all of us including we two and the viewers of this interview will be dying from cancer. Seven percent of our population have dementia. According to India Population study 2015, 1.7 lakh aged persons were living alone. Of them, 1.43 lakh are women.
Dr Lal: Our culture is also contributing to that. In any marriage, men will be older than women on an average by 5 years. Added to that, men have less longevity than women here. So, they die at least 5 years younger and the age gap between a husband’s death and wife’s death thus is, on an average, 10 years. 10 years of widowhood thus becomes guaranteed.
Dr Rajagopal: As I said, out of the 1.7 lakh people who live alone, 1.43 lakh are women only. These are not the people who can afford a home nurse. In the villages, we, the palliative workers are familiar with the lives they live and the deaths they die. This is a big issue. We imported the idea of nuclear families from western countries. In the West, when they shifted to that family structure, they parallelly made systems to address the consequences; institutions such as nursing homes for the aged. We did not do that.
Dr Lal: Kerala has a huge geriatric population. The number of children per family is low and those kids would go to distant places to make a living. And we blame children for not looking after their parents in old age. However, the entire family sometimes would be living off his or her income only. Isn’t this a reality?
Dr Rajagopal: There is no meaning in blaming the children. Our generation created this kind of society where children are supposed to leave in search of better jobs. The average number of children per couple in Kerala is only 1.6. What happens is one couple shoulders the responsibility of looking after 4 aged persons. Don’t they have a life? Don’t they need to educate their own children? I will not blame the young generation. I have seen that most of them go that arduous extra mile to balance between their work and taking care of their parents.
Dr Lal: Another aspect is that in a family, it is the primary responsibility of women to care for the ailing and the aged. I know educated and employed women who take care of both their parents and in-laws. The burden is often entirely on women.
Dr Rajagopal: 90% of caregivers are women. The society here thinks that women are not supposed to live their own lives. Now the rich people have access to care homes but the poor cannot afford them. Care homes should be there and they have to be accessible to all.
Dr Lal: In Kerala, 60 to 70 percent of the population depend on the private sector for their health care needs. Care in the private sector incurs a heavy cost too. Do you think this has any impact on palliative care?
Dr Rajagopal: Among the audience of this interview, many would not like talking about death. Suppose somebody has the courage to talk about it and suppose we ask them, where they want to die; Is it among a number of machines, in an air conditioned ICU? Would you prefer it or would you want to die in your own bed? A large majority of those who go to private hospitals are now destined to die in intensive care units. Think what a cruel practice this is. When your life is ending, what would you want but a loving touch; I would want to say my last words to my wife, to hold the hands of my children, and to get a kiss on my cheek from my grandchildren. Instead you have tubes in all your orifices and you hear the bleeps of the machines when you die. There are many hurdles before us if we want to change this; there are legal ambiguities too. What is the responsibility of a doctor? There are many doctors who think that their responsibility is solely to prolong life in one way or the other. Medical science actually defines the role of a doctor as reducing suffering. The bio ethics unit of ICMR also says so. There is no understanding about the quality of life and death.
Dr Lal: Have you noticed this exploitative practice of falsely promising magical cures to people who have reached their end of life days and extracting their last savings? There are many such instances. I think that is an unavoidable tragedy. When you stand face to face with death, the first impulse is not to accept it.
Dr Rajagopal: Kubler-Ross who wrote the world famous book, ‘On Death and Dying’, has listed the different stages of grief. The first stage is denial. Then comes anger and the next is bargaining- you try to bargain with God praying that I will worship you if you let me live. The patient also bargains with his/her doctor- for example, if saved, they say they would never smoke again. Another kind of bargain is to blame it on the doctor treating that person and to approach another one- system hopping and doctor shopping. And there are many who try to exploit this situation.
Dr Lal: It has been an honour to do this interview because you are a person who has dedicated his life to palliative care and as a doctor myself, I respect you as a teacher too. Before we conclude, do you want to add anything as a message to our audience?
Dr Rajagopal: I would like to say this- palliative care is not just for cancer patients or for end-of-life care. It is the treatment regime to reduce suffering and pain in all kinds of ailments. As much as we understand that, the suffering of ourselves and the people who are around us gets reduced. We should also bring palliative care into the private sector.
