Minister says if 1956 agreement isn’t going to be relied on by company, then all bets are off
It’s been more than six months since Vale announced their plans to close their Thompson refinery and smelter by the end of 2015, and more than three months since a group of local stakeholders traveled to Toronto to present Vale senior management with their proposals to reverse that decision, or at least minimize its impact on Thompson.
What’s changed in that time? To hear Thompson MLA Steve Ashton tell it, nothing.
“We’re disappointed, provincially, and I’m certainly disappointed that Vale is still not addressing the direct issue,” said Ashton on May 20. “We continue to believe that the issue here is value-added jobs from the resource, and we certainly have not given up on the smelter and refinery.”
In February, Ashton was part of a group comprised of representatives of the province, the City of Thompson, and United Steelworkers Local 6166 who traveled to Toronto to present Vale Canada president and chief executive officer Tito Martins and his management team with a series of seven proposals – some of which, if accepted, have kept Vale’s Thompson operations as they stand today and some of which would change the focus of the operations but maintain the jobs.
These proposals included allowing for flexibility in regulations around SO2 emissions, through discussions with the federal government, providing a sustainable operating capacity for smelting and refining, accelerating exploration and mine development, creating support for metallurgical processing of magnesium oxide ore, building a new metallurgical facility, granting Vale new mine status for future Manitoba operations, and selling the Manitoba Division outright.
Vale officials were interested enough in one or more the proposals that they sent the group a series of specific technical questions to answer – but the answers must not have been to the company’s liking, as there has been no substantive progress since, and Ashton accuses the company of moving the yardsticks.
“What has been frustrating is that we have addressed the issues that Vale put forward as the reasons behind their intent to close the smelter and refinery,” he says. “We found that we’ve been getting responses that essentially are different from what the original criteria were.”
With progress at a standstill, it appears it will be the province making the next move – Ashton said that he was working with Energy, Innovation and Mines Minister Dave Chomiak to create a new piece of provincial legislation which could be introduced as early as the week of Victoria Day.
“We are going to be introducing legislation to protect not only the province’s interest in the resource and also the various aspects related to that, but also Thompson’s interest related to that,” said Ashton. “In a general sense, it’s going to recognize that Vale has been signaling – and it’s really confirmed by having no movement on the smelter and refinery – that they’re moving beyond the basic framework of the 1956 agreement. If we no longer have that key element, which is the value-added jobs, then we have to look at what that means for the ongoing relationship with the province, with Thompson, and with Vale.”
Ashton would not comment on the specifics of the legislation, but Vale isn’t the only party with leverage if the 1956 agreement ever ends up not in force – among other things, the agreement gives Vale the power to essentially set its own tax rate through the grant-in-lieu paid to the City of Thompson and School District of Mystery Lake.
“We as a province believe it’s essential for them to, at a minimum, continue their commitments to the City of Thompson and the school district,” said Ashton. “The 1956 agreement isn’t just about municipal services, though we believe that has to be addressed to protect Thompson’s interest. It’s also about the fact that under that agreement, Inco as it then was has a preferred position in this province on a whole series of things. Clearly, if they think they can take the value-added out and not see any consequences, they’re wrong.”
The city is responding to the lack of movement in its own way – on May 18, the city and Vale issued a joint news release announcing the creation of the Thompson Economic Development Working Group (TEDWG), a project designed to look at other potential opportunities for Thompson’s economy which will be chaired by the city and will also include representation from local business and aboriginal communities. Vale is funding the group, which is expected to last an initial 12 months for identification and implementation of a strategy.
“What I want this working group to do is go out there and really drill down,” said Mayor Tim Johnston. “Go out there and get the details of some proposals – I want them to be really detailed, looking at what are real opportunities.”
“What I’ll be saying to the working group is that I don’t want [them] to come back and give me some easy answers that we should be doing this or should be doing this, I want the working group to specifically identify what can be real opportunities in terms of creating jobs, and give us a real detailed plan on how we access the resources or the investment to develop those specific initiatives,” he continued. “I don’t want this to be a superficial report that says ‘oh yeah, you guys should be looking at this.’ I want the working group to work on a very detailed action steps for economic diversification.”
TEDWG is expected to hold their first meeting in the week after Victoria Day, at which the process of how the group will accomplish these goals will be discussed. Also involved will be rePlan, a Toronto-based consulting firm which regularly works with municipal governments on similar projects.
Although the release only specifically mentioned Vale and the city as taking part in the group, other groups that have been invited to join include the provincial and federal governments, United Steelworkers (USW) Local 6166, and aboriginal organizations such as Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, the Keewatin Tribal Council, the Manitoba Métis Federation, and the Northern Association of Community Councils.
This is in part, Johnston said, because TEDWG will take a wider look at Thompson’s role with respect to other communities in Northern Manitoba and beyond – one of the major differences between this group and Thompson Unlimited, which has a similar mandate and will be available to TEDWG as a resource. “Thompson Unlimited is very Thompson-focused,” he said. “This [working group] is going to expand on that work – we’re also going to be looking at some of the other key players related to this economic development initiative and including regional players as well.”
Some of those regional players, though, sound less than thrilled about the idea. “With respect for the process today to launch the Economic Diversification Working Group, we have, in the past, participated in discussions with Vale, the City of Thompson, and the provincial government,” wrote USW Local 6166 president Murray Nychyporuk in a letter to USW membership, also dated May 18. “Although ideas were shared and discussed, we believe our community will not recover from the loss of our jobs or any other related employment. We also believe this decision will change the landscape of our community forever.”
Much like Nychyporuk, Ashton didn’t outright rule out participating in the working group, but neither did he sound enthusiastic about the idea. “At this point in time, it does not address any of the main issues facing Thompson,” he said. If the city wishes to proceed with it, that’s fine, I respect that, but for us, the real issue is protecting Thompson and Manitoba’s interests in the immediate sense.”
“If you’re going to be taking 500 jobs out of Thompson, simply trying to find others to fill the gap is really missing the point,” he continued. “Vale has to making commitments to our community, and they also have to do a lot more to be part of the solution than simply hiring Toronto-based consultants.”
Meanwhile, it appears that the release’s claim of the federal government being invited to join the group completely bypassed Churchill MP Niki Ashton, who said she only heard about the announcement second-hand, and then contacted Vale vice-president of corporate affairs and communications Cory McPhee in Toronto to enquire further.
Ashton did, however, indicate that she would be interested in working with the group if asked. “I’m keen to represent our community,” she said. “I do believe that there needs to be a strong federal presence in supporting Thompson through the future.”
Despite the willingness to work with the group, Ashton was similarly critical of the announcement, calling the formation of the diversification working group “duplicating work that’s already been done” and noting that Vale was still making no definitive statements about future investment or employment in Thompson.
“In this press release – which is all we have to go off at this point – there’s no commitment from Vale to maintaining value-added jobs in Thompson in its own operation,” she said. “There’s also nothing concrete to protect Thompson’s tax base – there’s some reference to the grant-in-lieu, but nothing concrete. There’s references to efforts that are duplicated – Thompson for a number of years has been looking at diversification through its different agencies, whether it’s the work of Thompson Unlimited or Community Futures, the work on the jet engine test site or the building of UCN, there’s been a number of efforts to do this. What this release refers to is efforts that are already being done and have been done, rather than Vale saying what it’s going to do in terms of its operations to maintain value-added jobs in our communities.”
Both Ashtons were also complimentary of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, who is the federal government’s senior minister for Manitoba, for his willingness to work with local stakeholders both to try and maintain the existing jobs and to look for future opportunities.
Johnston was more optimistic about the working group than his provincial and federal representatives, and said that this announcement should not be taken as a sign that the save-the-smelter campaign has fallen by the wayside. “We do not concede in any manner that the political process is or has been concluded,” he said. “Those discussions have to continue. This is just another added process that we’re initiating specifically on economic diversification – I don’t see this as in any way going on a different track than we we’ve been trying to do for the last five months.”
With respect to the working group, which in its press release used language very familiar to anybody who is familiar with the city’s goals – for example, saying that the working group “will focus on initiatives that will strengthen Thompson’s position as a regional service centre with a strong mining base” – Johnston said that community feedback will be another important part of the endeavour, with a new website being created to provide the public with information and solicit the public’s opinions. There will be other ways for the community to contribute as well. “We need to get moving on this part of the work as soon as possible,” said Johnston. “I’m going to bring this group together next week, we’re going to get to the community very soon, and I expect that the group’s going to start working immediately.”
The city’s Sustainable Community Plan, which was first presented to the public last October, will form the backbone of the working group’s direction. “The Community Sustainable Plan was always going to be moving forward with respect to economic development and diversification,” said Johnston. “I think this is an opportunity to move it forward a little bit sooner in terms of getting to those real detailed things, because we’re challenged by this decision.”
“Vale intends to be a major employer in Thompson for many years to come,” said Lovro Paulic, Vale general manager responsible for the smelter and refinery, in the release. “Mining is, and will continue to be, an important driver of the Thompson economy – as evidenced by our plans to invest more than $1 billion extending the life of the mines in Thompson and introducing new sources of ore. We’re confident the resource here continues to offer significant potential. At the same time, it makes sense for all of us to explore other means to secure the long-term success of our community and create additional pillars for economic growth.”

Minnesota is drought-free for first time since October
Minnesota is free from drought for the first time since October.
A map released by the U.S. Drought Monitor Thursday morning shows drought conditions are no longer present anywhere in Minnesota, although about 21 percent of the state was still considered abnormally dry as of Tuesday.
The state's drought outlook has changed significantly since the start of May, when about 54 percent of the state was in a moderate drought and another 40 percent was in a severe drought.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that in the contiguous U.S., May was the rainiest month in 121 years of record-keeping.

The frequency distribution of industrial quality traits in selected populations of wheat - Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) CIMMYT : 1999 - Printed
The wheat industry in Zimbabwe was liberalized recently. This resulted in greater competition among millers or bakers and elevation of protein quality to a major requirement. High industrial quality of wheat varieties is a major objective in the wheat breeding program in Zimbabwe. This experiment was designed to evaluate the range of variation among single plant selections of wheat in several wheat F2 populations. Selections were made from ninety F2 populations grown during the 1996 winter under irrigation at Harare Research Station. Sedimentation measurements were made on these selections and compared against those of the check varieties, Ruya and Deka. Deka is a variety with low industrial qualities whilst Ruya has high quality .The data was classified into categories of 5 milliliter intervals. frequency of various quality classes was determined. The classes ranged from 21 to 25"mlsedimentation values to 71 to 75 ml values. The results indicated that the majority of selections had sedimentation values higher than of Deka but lower than that of Ruya whilst 18 percent were equivalent or better than Ruya. Genetic relationships were drawn. Implications of this study are discussed.


Pathologist confirms COVID-19 caused death of woman2 minute read
Marty Logan – an Arizona real estate agent – begged his mother to not get the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite this, his 88-year-old mother got the Moderna vaccine. Sadly, she passed away 24-hours later.
But that’s just the beginning of the story, it gets even more tragic and even more strange. Marty posted a two part video series on YouTube explaining the full story.
Marty explains that his mother was diagnosed with COVID-19 on January 15, 2021 and tested negative on January 31, 2021. With the COVID antibodies in her system she “drank the kool-aide,” as Marty put it and got the vaccine: “She received the COVID vaccine on February 16. I had dinner with her that night. we had onion rings, we had a margarita, she was fine. She dropped dead the next day,” Marty said.
Due to the suddenness of her death, Marty got an autopsy done. The medical examiner performing the autopsy wanted to write off the death as COVID-19 without an inspection: “The medical examiners did not want to do an autopsy, they wanted to write COVID on it. We said ‘No’,” explained Marty.
Marty then sent his mother’s brain tissues to a neuro specialist. The findings were shocking: “We then sent the brain tissues out to a neuro specialist. Here are the final autopsy results: She had a massive and rapid liver failure. I asked the doctor ‘what was it like in her final moments when she went out?’ When she died she had a shortness of breath, which felt like she was being choked and someone had their hand wrapped around their neck.”
Marty went on to explain the following about the VAERS report (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System): “Here is the VAERS report that the pathologist sent to the FDA last week: The pathologist states that it was an adverse reaction to the vaccine.”
Why is the media ignoring this?

Torsten and Matt took the long Labor Day weekend to join the Alaska Friends of the Pleistocene on Prince of Wales. It was great to catch up with everyone, especially Chip, Adelie, Cathy, and UAS students. We got great lectures from Dave D’Amore and Jim Baichtel. Here are the two naturalists on the first day:
Torsten and Matt flew up and met Chip and Adelie in Ketchikan. Due to crazy, constantly changing logistics (standard operating procedures for SEAK), we flew into Klawock early afternoon. Flying over Prince of Wales Island is a fantastic treat! For all of us, and definitely according to Torsten and Adelie, visiting the El Captian cave was the highlight of the trip. Here at the mouth of the cave,
we read up the warning signs:
and got some great info/lecturing from Dave D’Amore on the forest:
Once inside the cave, we learned lots of cave geology from Jim Baichtel and Johanna.. Torsten and Adelie were rapt:
And then Torsten and Adelie got to explore a small side cave (the “kids cave”) that had space for about four people max. Here’s Adelie making the first entrance to the side cave:
From El Capitan, we went to the Beaver Falls Karst hike (super cool!). The boardwalk trails through the sink-holes was fantastic:
Every night, one highlight was S’mores!!! (The other highlight was great geology lectures, and I think Torsten and Adelie did an amazing job paying attention for the ~2 hours lectures!) But did I say S’mores!?!? 🙂
We had a great hike down to Staney Creek, and the naturalists investigated and recorded some fantastic rainforest mushrooms. Amazing early (~3000 years ago?) human habitation was also described during the forest and river-side hiking with Jim.
We had many roadside stops, deer and bear viewings, and saw many spawning salmon. Here are a few more photos of the budding naturalists at work on the hike to the Thorne River erosion site:
After all the fun, we were all very exhausted:
What an incredible experience!! Thanks to everyone that made it possible. Here is the group photo in the front of the El Capitan cave entrance:
And if you desperately need more photos, the whole gallery is available..

Violence erupted when some protesters broke off from a peaceful march of about 20,000 pupils in downtown Hamburg and headed to the US consulate, where police said Palestinians armed with wooden sticks joined them and began attacking police securing the building.
School students have been among the most active anti-war protesters in Germany, often skipping class to take to the streets.
In Rome, thousands of school teachers and students took today off and marched peacefully through the streets of Rome, Milan and other cities across the country to protest against the war in Iraq. Union officials said 60% of the schools were closed across the country. Demonstrations were held in Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice, Bologna, Naples and Palermo.
Demonstrators in the public gallery of Australia's parliament today heckled and abused the prime minister, John Howard, over his support for the US-led offensive in Iraq.
Today's protests in Hamburg, Rome and Canberra follow a weekend of demonstrations around the world in opposition to the invasion, and a small number of pro-war marches in American cities.
On Saturday between 30,000 and 50,000 demonstrators in Sydney, Australia, called for an end to the invasion and pleaded for their country's 2,000 troops in the area to be brought home.
More than 100,000 people marched through Lahore, Pakistan, some carrying portraits of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Some, including small children, chanted anti-American slogans, but the protest ended peacefully. An alliance of hardline Islamic parties said today it would organise three more demonstrations in the coming weeks.
"Hatred against America is increasing. People find this a means for peaceful expression of opposition to all kinds of oppression against women and children," said Shahid Shamsi, spokesman for the Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal or United Action Forum religious alliance.
"We will continue until the world stops this crime," Shamsi said. "We will continue until their conscience wakes up."
In Bangladesh, a group of disabled people - some in wheelchairs or leaning on crutches - rallied peacefully against the war in front of the parliament building in the capital, Dhaka. Demonstrators carried photographs of Iraqi children with bandaged limbs and shouted "War maims!"
In the United States, demonstrators rallied in several cities, both for and against the war. In New York's Times Square, about 600 people waved American flags and chanted "U-S-A! "U-S-A!" to show support for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Near Richmond, Virginia, police said more than 5,000 people rallied to show their support for the war In Los Angeles, anti-war protesters demonstrated near the Kodak Theatre where the Oscars were being handed out. There were scattered clashes with police and a few arrests.
Thousands protested at two US military bases in Italy. Activists draped a long black banner across Rome's Coliseum in a gesture of mourning for the victims of war, and a large sign with the words "Against the War, Rome for Peace" was raised at the start of the city's marathon.
In Japan, up to 2,000 rallied peacefully in several cities, including Hiroshima, where demonstrators gathered in front of a memorial for those killed when America dropped an atomic bomb at the end of World War II.
In Afghanistan, where US troops continued their search for terrorists, about 1,000 people demonstrated in the eastern town of Mehtar Lam, an Afghan military official said.
Clashes continued for a third straight day outside the US Embassy in Bahrain, where demonstrators threw stones and set tyres ablaze. About 200 protesters fought with riot police and the American and British embassies remained closed.
More than 15,000 students at four Egyptian universities protested on the schools' grounds. In Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, demonstrators threw stones and empty bottles at the US Embassy, and thousands of protesters marched to a United Nations office.
A Khartoum demonstration on Saturday turned to violence, with authorities investigating the shooting death of a university student protester. In Athens, Greece, police said opponents of the war carried out arson attacks on an American bank and a fast-food outlet.
A petrol bomb was thrown at the entrance of a closed suburban McDonald's restaurant in Athens. In a separate incident, a Citibank branch near the Greek capital was damaged by a explosive device made from small cooking gas cylinders. Authorities said no one was hurt.
Anti-war Muslim extremists protested in Indonesia, saying the killing of US President George Bush would be legal under Islamic law. Demonstrators torched a US flag and an effigy of Bush.
In New Zealand, a Roman Catholic priest and another religious activist said they used their own blood to make a cross on the carpet of the US Consul's office in Auckland on Monday. Father Peter Murnane and Nicholas Drake, a Catholic activist, had an appointment with US Consul Douglas Berry purportedly to read him an anti-war statement.
But when the men entered Mr Berry's office, they took out a container of their own blood and poured it onto the floor, making a 1 metre long cross, the two said. The blood's origin couldn't be confirmed and it wasn't known how much blood the container held.
The US administration was "spilling great quantities of blood on the soil of Iraq," the protesters said in a statement afterward. "We now make the sign of the cross with our blood on the floor, in this outpost of the United States."

In a video posted on Twitter, the Patriots announced that the Kraft family has pledged $1 million in total that will be broken up into monthly donations of $100,000 for 10 months:
The Patriots noted that the organizations that receive the money will be chosen in collaboration with the team's players.
Kraft is one of many big names in the sports world who have spoken out against racial inequality since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.
Floyd was pronounced dead at a hospital after Officer Derek Chauvin had his knee pressed on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes. Floyd told Chauvin that he couldn't breathe several times, but Chauvin didn't change his position.
Chauvin was fired, arrested and charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, while the other three officers on the scene were fired and charged with aiding and abetting for not stopping Chauvin.
In the wake of Floyd's death, protests against racial inequality, police brutality and social injustice have broken out in major cities across the United States.
The 78-year-old Kraft is the most successful owner in the history of the NFL, as his Patriots have earned 10 Super Bowl berths and won six Super Bowl championships since buying the team in 1994.
With Kraft at the helm, the Patriots are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in league history.

Key stakeholders in Nigeria’s aviation sector are demanding that the Federal Government declares a state of emergency in the industry given the rot in infrastructure across most airports and the collapse of the domestic airline industry.
The stakeholders who gathered at the Lagos Sheraton Hotel on Friday, include domestic airline owners/ operators; leaders of the various aviation sector unions, security experts, past Managing Directors/CEOs of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN); and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA); and some members from the National Assembly members, demanded that the government tread with caution in its quest to sell-off or concession the airports currently managed by FAAN.
Former Director General/CEO of the NCAA Dr. Harold Olusegun Demuren specifically faulted the ongoing plans by the government to concession some of the airports, noting that except those luring the government into the concession project were naive, it was a well known fact within the industry that an attempt to concession the international airports would be met by stiff resistance by the government of China. It could even come with possible litigation and diplomatic row between China and Nigeria.”I am a bit confused about what the government wants to concession. There are already existing issues and litigation cases in courts with some of the airports which should first be resolved if we want to get the best out of them,” said Demuren. “So how do you want to go ahead to concession airports that China granted you loans and they are still constructing the airports and they are yet to commence the execution of the BOT. Someone should educate me better because it doesn’t add up,” queried Demuren, a former regulator of the industry. In 2013, the Chinese Exim Bank had granted Nigeria a $500million loan to build new airport terminals at the Lagos, Enugu, Abuja and Kano International airports, but with a caveat which came in form of a Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) concession deal that allows China to first manage and recoup the investments before transferring the assets back to Nigeria. Demuren who lamented the sorry state of the domestic airline industry said over contracting on the concession of the airports, without giving top priority to the resuscitation of the domestic airlines would amount to a futile venture. “Without the vibrant airlines we cannot talk about concessioning of airports because the airports need the airlines to function and also for investors to recoup their monies,” he added.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Privatisation, Senator Ben Bruce said the Federal Government must take urgent steps resuscitate the local airline industry. Bruce noted that apart from Arik Air, other airlines could not boast of more than four aircraft while the Presidential fleet had 10 aircraft. He therefore called on President Muhammadu Buhari to off load some aircraft in the Presidential fleet to boost the local airline fleet, even if it was on a lease agreement. “The alarming rate at which Nigerian airlines are shutting down at short notices must halted. This is is an emergency situation. The aviation sector is going through a desperate time and needs a desperate solution,” said Bruce. Chairman, Airlines Operators of Nigeria, Capt. Nogie Meggison in his presentation said the entire concession plan was immersed in ambiguity. “What are we concessioning? Is it the airports building terminals? Or the airside like the runways, fire services. Or the hospitals and schools?,” asked Meggison.

K... quik ?... wtf is that thing???
Woops, didn't even notice this post. Sorry!
That's Ultima Weapon, a big optional boss in the video game Final Fantasy 8. Normally he's actually in a centaur mode, but the figure can also split apart and have human legs. He also has a giant sword. I like him, but he's expensive(I got mine for $90, and that was a bargain). Although not a Transformer, here he is in four legged mode.
Ah, loved the Ultima Weapon, the combo of Renzokuken and Lionheart attack on him was a lot of fun with the unique animation.

Serbian President Vows To Defend Order Amid Ongoing Opposition Protests
Skirmishes with riot police were reported outside of the Serbian presidential building in Belgrade on March 17, with police firing tear gas against thousands of demonstrators who vowed to form a human chain around the building to prevent President Aleksandar Vucic from leaving. Speaking at a news conference in the building at the time of the protest, Vucic downplayed the number of protesters outside, insisting there were only about 1,000 people gathered there and describing opposition protest leaders as "fascists, hooligans, and thieves." On March 16, protesters demonstrating against Vucic were forced out of the state-run TV building in Belgrade about two hours after they stormed the facility. The protesters accuse state television of biased pro-government coverage and are demanding that Vucic resign.

Monsters of Suburbia is the exciting short film production based on a real event that happened to me one night while walking home at the age of 15, the night I came across the monsters. The movie will be broadcast via digital platform in late October 2019, available to contributors of at least $25 to the production cost.
The thrilling story follows three teens, Alex, Scotty, and Chico, and the repercussions of decisions made on Halloween 1987. Differing from recent nostalgic teen-centered period thrillers, Monsters of Suburbia will recall the harder edged Gen-X social commentary movies, such as 1979’s Over the Edge and 1987’s Rivers Edge, where if a kid was riding a Schwinn bicycle, it was probably stolen. The concrete suburbia in Monsters of Suburbia is made up of apartment complexes, strip malls, parking lots, and warehouses; a landscape that balances the tension between carefree and paranoia, where a youthful freedom is tinged with the danger that it can be taken away in a moment, and where the monsters are real.
Over the last thirty years, I have regaled the scary tale, and each time it elicited the same visceral response from my audience, and I knew some day it would make a suspenseful thriller with its visual, sound, and production design potential. But I wanted to wait until the right time to make this film, and that time is now. I produced five other short films, and received my MA in cinema studies, with a focus in Audience Reception Theory. Monsters of Suburbia incorporates the fruits of my labor and education and applies mechanisms that have been so effective in the thrillers that I love.
I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with some of the key personnel that I have worked with on my last few short films, and this is a great opportunity for up-and-coming talent to strut their stuff in this taut three-act street opera. Together we can make Monsters of Suburbia a festival contender, a fun-filled viewing experience this coming Halloween, and the fulfillment of a dream of mine to be able to tell this cautionary tale as a narrative film.
Parental guidance is suggested for some younger viewers, and all audiences should be aware that viewing this film could lead to some disturbing nightmares!
Thank you for considering my project!
Risks and challenges
In case you haven't heard, making movies is a risky endeavor, and I have had to deal with losing a location the night before a shoot as well as losing an actor to a medical emergency the day of a shoot. But in both of those cases, and many more, it was an opportunity for me as a producer to find a solution, and both times I was able to use those unforeseen circumstances to improve the film.
Consider that if the entire budget is not raised in 30 days, your contribution will not be taken. But alas, even with the budget fulfilled, things can still go wrong on the production which could affect the shoot and or the delivery of the movie in the timely manner hoped for.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Opposition leaders from 13 political parties issued a joint statement on Saturday condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on the rise in communal violence in the country.
“We are shocked at the silence of the prime minister, who has failed to speak against the words and actions of those who propagate bigotry and those who, by their words and actions, incite and provoke our society,” they noted.
The Opposition leaders alleged that Modi’s silence is testimony to the fact that “private armed mobs enjoy the luxury of official patronage”.
“We are extremely anguished at the manner in which issues related to food, dress, faith, festivals and language are being deliberately used by sections of the ruling establishment to polarize our society.,” said the statement.
The leaders also condemned the rising cases of communal violence across several states. Two people were killed and many injured as violence broke out in at least five states of the country on Sunday during processions held on the occasion of the Hindu festival Ram Navami.
“We are deeply concerned, as reports indicate that there is a sinister pattern in the areas where these incidents have occurred,” said the statement. “Incendiary hate speeches preceded the aggressive armed religious processions unleashing communal violence.”
The leaders said that they were pained by how social media and audio-visual platforms were being misused with official patronage to spread hatred and prejudice. They called upon citizens to foil the “sinister objective of those who wish to sharpen communal polarization”.
The letter was signed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah, Rashtriya Janata Dal MLA Tejashwi Yadav, Communist Party of India General Secretary D Raja, Forward Bloc General Secretary Debabrata Biswas, Revolutionary Socialist Party General Secretary Manoj Bhattacharya, Indian Union Muslim League General Secretary PK Kunhalikutty and Communist Party of India (ML) Liberation General Secretary Dipanker Bhattacharya were also among the signatories.

The Smallprint: Thank you to Kutch Adventures India for hosting my stay with them. As always, the stories, experiences and opinions expressed here are purely my own. This post may contain affiliate links. For more information on what type of organisations I collaborate with and on affiliates, please read my Editorial Policy.
Exploring Kutch, Gujarat.
Kutch is famous for a few things: first and foremost it is known for its rich traditions in handicrafts and the craft market that takes place every winter. It’s also famous for the Great Rann of Kutch: a huge salt marsh located in the Thar desert – stretching from Kutch into the Sindh region of southern Pakistan.
Many of those who come to visit Kutch, Gujarat, come to see the famous Great Rann, one of the largest salt marshes in the world.
I’d come for a slightly different reason. I’d come to Bhuj, the capital of the Kutch region in Gujarat to visit the award-winning Kutch Adventures India, who’ve been recognised internationally for their efforts in responsible tourism, through promoting better engagement of people across cultures.
Things to do in Kutch, Gujarat.
Despite its relative fame, things to do in Kutch are far from restricted to visiting the rann. Arriving by train from Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s capital, Bhuj would be my base for exploring the region.
Bhuj itself has its own less than happy claim to fame. In 2001 it was partly destroyed by a huge earthquake, measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale and killing up to 20,000 people. Nearly 400,000 homes were reduced to rubble, including that of founder of Kutch Adventures & my guide for the week, Kuldip’s.
Despite the earthquake, some of historic Bhuj remains. You can spend a day or two happily exploring this town visiting temples, admiring its old walls, and the Pram Mahal, a gothic-like palace.
Bhuj is a logical choice to base yourself during a trip to Bhuj – I stayed with Kuldip’s family in their homestay, on the edge of the new town which saw many houses built following 2001. For exploring Kutch itself, I spent most of my time outside of Bhuj, heading off into the Thar Desert.
Kutch’s Desert Communities.
During my journey through India this August, I came close to India’s borders several times. In Ladakh, with China, at Amritsar – at the famous Wagah border with Pakistan – and again here in Kutch (with Pakistan). Exactly 70 years previously in the partition of India, the country was ripped into two parts to form Pakistan and the new India.
Perhaps nowhere were the messy consequences of partition more obvious on my trip than here in the region of Kutch. Just over the Great Rann – and visible on a good day – lies the other half of the Thar Desert, and Sindh province in Pakistan. Overnight in 1947 communities became separated, and wider families, still, to this day, are not allowed to visit one another across the border. We drove through the well-known village of Khavda, one of the closest accessible villages to the Pakistan border and the unofficial “hub” for trading accross-the-border.
Either side of the border, similar traditions and communities are present – both in Sindh and in Kutch, from the types of desert village, down to handcraft traditions and preferred styles of block-printed cloth.
Responsible Tourism in Kutch.
My days with Kutch Adventures were spent visiting villages within the Thar Desert, having many a cup of chai with them, and (with the help of translation) learning more about their traditions and community life. Kutch Adventures has won awards for the non-intrusive and authentic way that they have managed to share Kutch’s rural culture with guests without having a negative impact.
What was immediately obvious was Kuldip’s good relationships that he has built up with communities over a long period of time, allowing him to bring outside visitors in from a position of trust and respect.
These are sensitive communities. There are relatively few foreigners that make it to these parts, and those armed with a large camera are often viewed with suspicion, as we found out.
Many of the women of the different tribal communities are beautifully dressed with ornate jewellery, large nose rings and beautiful golden earrings. Their costumes are a cultural photographers dream. Being a blogger myself (part of whose job it is to capture the experience), and travelling with a photographer in our small group, we wanted to see if we could get some photos. When we asked if it would be ok if we could take a photo, often, the answer was no (which we course of respected). Even driving past one richly dressed Rabari woman on the road, on seeing foreign faces in a car she immediately covered her face. Suffice to say that not all of travel’s beautiful moments can be caught on camera.
Parts of Kutch that are nearer to Bhuj have seen an influx in visitors (both domestic and foreign) to handicraft villages, and as a result the villages have become over commercialised – children ask for money for photos, and it’s all about selling to tourists.
The challenge is on to avoid this happening further afield in more remote villages that produce handicrafts.
Chasing Rabari Herders.
On my third day in Kutch, we set out to explore the desert areas, following in the footsteps of a particular group of nomadic people: the Rabari herders. Rabari people can be found in the semi-desert region of Kutch, but also in Sindh province in Pakistan, the desert areas of Rajasthan and even Punjab.
Historically, the Rabaris were camel herders, but they also herd sheep. The herders live an almost completely nomadic life – moving around from place to place in the desert with their herds, and sleeping under the stars or in tents.
We caught up with some herders in the fields, and visited the families of others living in villages, while other members of their families continued the nomadic herding tradition. In Rabari communities education and literacy are not really considered priorities, many cannot read/write (especially women), and child marriages, as young as nine, have been a tradition. With new laws in place for the minimum age for marriage, today betrothals / engagements still take place at a (very) young age, but the marriages are deferred – or that’s what we were told at least.
Visting Rabari families, one thing stood out: the warm welcome. We were ushered in to numerous houses and huts, and handed endless cups (or I should say saucers!) of chai. In Kutch, it’s customary to drink tea from a saucer rather than a cup. It takes a bit of getting used to! At one family’s house, they rightly decided that we should be their entertainment for the afternoon, and decided to dress me up in traditional Rabari costume.
Rabari people are famous for their elaborate jewellery – some ladies wear incredibly large and heavy nose rings which need to be supported by a chain that goes back to their head. Their embroidery is also intricate and beautiful, and many people come to Kutch to buy Rabari needlework.
Handicrafts of Kutch.
Kutch is famous for its handicrafts. Some of the traditions of the communities in this part of India are block-printing (fabric), beading, weaving and lacquerwork.
It’s possible to buy authentic handicrafts from large galleries and shops in Bhuj, but seeing the small villages where they were directly made – in a non commercial setting – was a very special experience. And this is where Kutch Adventures’ connections come in. Kuldip knows exactly where to take his visitors so that they can see the process of making handicrafts locally, in a non-commercialised way. They also refuse to participate in the standard commission-driven setup, which determines where many guides take their visitors.
One of my favourite visits was to a family of block-printers, who had been printing fabrics in traditional Kutchi patterns for generations. I not only got to see them at work, but to have lunch with them.
The Great Rann.
After all – it would be a shame to give Kutch’s best known tourist attraction a miss! I visited during monsoon season, in summer, where instead of being a salt desert, the rain is actually an inland sea – referred to sometimes as the “Great Sea of Kutch”.
Traces of salt were visible on the edges of the “sea” and in the shallow water, but the Rann looked very different to how it does in winter. As opposed to dazzling white, the Rann was a dull grey. It is still a beautiful spot at any time of year though to experience this vast expanse of space, and in monsoon season, you’ll practically have the space to yourself. My tip would be to avoid driving as far as you can go, down the viewing point at the end, and instead go for a short walk along the edge of the salt marsh for a view to yourself.
There is a resort nearby called the “White Rann Resort” which we walked past (but did not stay at). Considering this backs on to an Indian army base, is in the middle of nowhere and was completely deserted, I would not recommend this as a place to stay. There are plenty of alternative options, which Kutch Adventures can suggest to you if you want to stay near the Rann.

Living in a city known for it’s ultra modern architecture and tendency to pull down the old to make way for the new means that we sometimes forget there is a wealth of heritage and history in the Low Lands. It’s a common affliction for those of us living within the economic and industrial heart of the country and results in us forgetting we’re wearing blinders most of the time. The irony is the country is so small, and it’s pulsing heart even smaller, that I could literally get on a train and after 20 minutes I’d be in the middle of a nature reserve or an historic town or village. The sad fact is that I rarely get the chance to do this.
However, over this past summer I suddenly found myself holidaying at home again. Downside, no grand adventure off in some far flung exotic location, but on the upside, I finally got to tick a large number of things off of my to do list. The first of these was the balcony garden (the subject of my last two posts), which is still doing nicely and the radishes were delicious. The second was a huge downsizing of stuff which made our local second hand store very happy as we piled their back room high with old clothes and shoes and books I’ll never read again. Lastly, I finally got to see a couple of those interesting bits of the country you always mean to see but never get around to.
Our first foray was up to the forests around the city of Utrecht. We love to walk and this area has a wealth of short, medium and lengthy paths that take you through fields and woodland where, depending on the time of day, it alternates between high summer heat and autumnal shade at each bend. The forest also hides a few interesting structures. About halfway through our stroll we came across a 28 metre high tower built entirely of wood.
Inside was a staircase leading all the way to the top and a stern warning not to go up if it was too windy (they did not specify what too windy was exactly, but we guessed if the tower was swaying that would be a pretty good sign). The breeze was mild, so we acended the tower and after a bit of huffing and puffing, we reached the top to discover a magnificent view of the surrounding area. I felt a bit like Bilbo when he climbs the tree in Mirkwood. The trees around us were just under eye level but in the distance we could see the occasional church steeple and the taller towers of Utrecht in the distance.
A few days later we decided to go for a walk a little further afield. We packed our tent into the luggage on wheels (aka Twoflower, my Daihatsu Cuore) and headed north to the province of Drenthe. For years I have been wanting to visit the dolmens of Drenthe and this was my chance. Dolmens are so very intriguing. There are more than fifty of them in this country and they are found all over the world, with the greatest concentration of them being in Korea, of all places. They are burial sites, probably of important individuals or families, from pre-historic times and in Drenthe, they dot the landscape between wheat and barley fields without much more than a small plaque to tell you which number it is. After setting up our tent at our favourite kind of campsite (very basic, therefore not very crowded), we headed off in search of our first dolmen. Unfortunately, we got a little turned around and headed in the wrong direction, so no sightings on the first day (to compensate I started shouting ‘dolmen’ whenever I saw a large rock), but we did discover that the area was rife with outdoor adventure camps for kids. We also discovered that it is far more fun to walk along the mountain bike paths as these tend to be a litte more adventurous. With no mountains in this country, I have to take my thrills where I can get them.
We fared much better on day two. From the local dolmen tourist centre (where they have a lovely reconstruction of a pre-historic village) we decided to take a long circuitous route that tooks us through about 5 local villages and 11 dolmen sites. The first few dolmens were amazing to see, but I must admit that after dolmen number 5, you pretty much had the idea of dolmens. The walk, however, was lovely. Drenthe is a very peaceful and rural part of the country and we reveled in those local customs that are lost in city environs. People doffing caps to each other. Homemade jams and fruit left out on the roadside with a moneybox to pay for what you take; lazy bumblebees. All reminders that not everyone is part of the rat race.
The last stop on our local tourism trip was a little further away and to the south. It was also in our neighbour’s backyard this time. La Roche-en-Ardenne is a very cutesy, very touristy town about an hour east of Liege/Luik in Belgium and is on the Wallonian side of the line. A little way away from town there is a village called Maboge and it was here that we pitched our tent on a grassy field beside a stream ensconced between two walls of conifers. The first day was glorious and we lay about in the sun like a couple of cats. Now, the interesting thing about this neck of the woods, or rather its claim to fame, is that it was an important part of the Battle of Bulge during WWII, and La Roche commemorates this with a couple of Sherman tanks guarding its entrances. But this is not what interested me.
Another historic trait of this area is that it was also a well known route for the Romans two thousand years ago. At the time, the land was being farmed by Gauls and excavations in the area had discovered a Celtic fort built on a hilltop where the Gauls would seek sanctuary when the Romans came marching through. The fort has been reconstructed to a certain degree and while there are no dwellings, it is a rather impressive site as you reach the top of the path and leave the trees. One can very easily imagine the farmers of Gaul yelling insults at the Roman soldiers from behind the safety of their stone walls.
Unfortunately, the weather turned after our reccy to the fort and we were not able to go on any further walks in this area, but there’s always next time.
And thus ended our disjointed jaunt through the Low Lands. It must be said, however, that while the landscape was pleasant enough and it’s always great to get out into the green, it doesn’t hold a candle to Scotland 🙂

text: On Schindler's List there were hundreds of names. On Raoul Wallenberg's there were tens of thousands. A film of epic ambitions, 'Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg' chronicles the last days of the war in Budapest. It is a moving and sensitive portrait of internationally known hero, Raoul Wallenberg, a small-scale businessman whose life was transformed after he witnessed bodies being thrown from a train on its way to Auschwitz. International film star Stellan Skarsgard is merely perfect as Raoul Wallenberg, an attache to the Swedish Embassy who moved to Budapest, Hungary in 1944 to help Jews escape Adolph Eichmann's deadly path. Wallenberg saved over 60,000 people in Budapest's Jewish ghetto by helping them escape Hungary with Swedish papers (Wallenberg passports), or getting them placed in protective housing. His greatest challenge came in 1945, when he saved the lives of some 65,000 Jews in the ghetto by forcing the hand of the German general responsible for their fate. On January 17, 1945, Wallenberg was taken to Moscow as a Soviet prisoner. He was never released, and his fate has remained a mystery.

One of Derek Brown’s personal goals for 2014 was simple: receive a passport and travel outside the United States for the first time. Not long after securing his passport, the 2006 College of Idaho graduate accepted an offer to teach abroad for two years at Cairo American College in Egypt.
“I never knew that my first time leaving the country would also be my first time moving out of it,” Brown said. “But I actually feel pretty comfortable living here. It’s been one heck of a blessing.”
A native of Las Vegas, Brown returned to his hometown after graduating from the C of I with a degree in psychology. He considered pursuing a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, but ultimately was drawn into education and worked as a substitute teacher in Las Vegas while earning his teaching certification.
Once certified, Brown considered the possibility of teaching abroad and interviewed for a teaching position in Thailand. He hadn’t considered Cairo as an option until Cairo American College reached out to him.
“I received an e-mail at 3 o’clock in the morning from them asking for an interview,” Brown said. “They weren’t even on my radar.”
Brown received encouragement from his coworkers in Las Vegas to follow up with the opportunity, and he officially signed a contract in January.
The work environment at Cairo American College is different than what Brown experienced during his time in Nevada; the K-12 International Baccalaureate (IB) school hosts around 800 students, a far cry from the average 2,200 Brown encountered at Las Vegas schools. The standards of rigor are considerably higher, and the class sizes are smaller. Despite these differences, Brown has chosen to focus on the most important similarity.
“Something that I’ve realized is no matter where you’re teaching, whether you’re in Cairo or America, kids are still the same,” Brown said. “The attention they receive from a teacher is important, and they’re always looking for guidance.”
Since arriving in Cairo on Aug. 1, Brown has taken the time to explore Egypt’s landmarks. He has posed in front of the Giza Pyramids and ran alongside the Nile River, which is a 15 minute walk from the apartment he shares with other American teachers.
“When you read about these things in textbooks, you don’t expect to actually go there,” Brown said. “But it’s in my backyard now.”
Brown credits his undergraduate years at the C of I as a member of Student Ambassadors and the men’s basketball team as an experience that has helped to prepare him for his new career abroad.
“The liberal arts background made me well-rounded,” Brown said. “I also had the opportunity to travel and interact with students from all different cultures, which was something I couldn’t get as easily in Las Vegas.”
Making the move to Egypt helped Brown fulfill his personal goal. For the next two years, he hopes to help his students at Cairo American College do the same.
Founded in 1891, The College of Idaho is the state’s oldest private liberal arts college. It has a century-old tradition of educating some of the most accomplished graduates in Idaho, including seven Rhodes Scholars, three Marshall Scholars, and another 12 Truman and Goldwater Scholars. The College is located on a beautiful campus in Caldwell, Idaho. Its distinctive PEAK curriculum challenges students to attain competencies in the four knowledge peaks of the humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and a professional field, enabling them to graduate with an academic major and three minors in four years.
