Calls for an inquiry into the handling of the coronavirus pandemic in Gloucestershire have been dismissed by council leaders as an “expensive and wasteful way to politicise what was an incredibly challenging time".
A total of 1,535 people have had Covid listed on their death certificate in the county since the start of the pandemic. And Liberal Democrat councillors are bringing forward a motion to Gloucestershire County Council’s meeting next week which calls for an inquiry into how local public bodies responded to the pandemic.
However, council chiefs say the local authority has no legal power to launch such an inquiry. And Conservative councillors have branded the motion “an expensive and wasteful way to politicise an incredibly challenging two years”.
Cllr Jeremy Hilton (LD, Kingshom and Wotton), who is set to propose the motion, said: "In a fast moving situation, it is unreasonable to expect our public bodies to get everything right. Yet, during the pandemic, mistakes sadly cost lives.
‘For example, we know that there were numerous times when people were moved from hospital to care homes without testing first – which likely led to outbreaks within these care homes.
“By the end of the pandemic, barely a single care home had not seen Covid deaths. This a long way from the promised “protective ring” that was meant to keep our vulnerable loved ones safe.
“More than 1,500 people in our county have died from Covid-19. We owe it to them and their families to learn these lessons now so we can better protect our residents from any possible pandemic that might occur in the future."

Cllr Lisa Spivey (LD, South Cerney), who is expected to second the motion, said it is not about attributing blame but about ensuring the county is much better prepared for any further waves of Covid or future pandemics.
She said: “Previously we have been told that it’s not the right time to discuss how we performed during the pandemic – but since this Government has declared that we must learn to live with Covid, indeed, even preventing us from being able to test ourselves for the virus – it is time to learn the lessons from the past two years.
“The first months of 2020 were extraordinary, with guidance changing daily and everyone working to the bone.”
The Labour group is expected to support the motion and group leader John Bloxsom (L, Rodborough) said his party has consistently called for a public inquiry to start as soon as possible.
He said: “There are particular issues for Gloucestershire, from the role of the super spreader event Cheltenham Festival 2020, discharging untested elderly hospital patients into local care homes and the impact of vaccine hesitancy amongst some communities.
“It is vital that, as the public health authority, the county learns lessons. We are likely to see more infectious disease outbreaks due to climate change, biodiversity loss and global trends. We support calls for a local inquiry as a result of which the council and its partners can be better prepared.”
The council does not have powers to order a statutory inquiry as defined by the Inquiries Act 2015 but could establish a panel such as a scrutiny task group or working group to look into the issue.
However, the motion will likely be rejected as the Conservative group has a majority.
Council leader Mark Hawthorne (C, Quedgeley) said: “This Liberal Democrat motion calls for an inquiry that we have no legal power to launch.
“We will of course be feeding into the national Covid-19 Inquiry along with all other local authorities in the UK, and have already planned structured debriefs for our teams to capture the Gloucestershire specific learning and inform how we respond to future challenges.
“This motion is an expensive and wasteful way to politicise an incredibly challenging two years. Our public health and adult social care teams are working tirelessly on dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic and that is where the Conservative group’s focus remains too.”
The Green group declined to comment.

Expanding Electronic Health Data Sharing Network Supports Veterans and Their Families
(Vienna, VA – November 9, 2017) – Over 1.5 million Veterans enrolled with the Department of Veterans (VA) have been identified as receiving part of their care with one or more of VA’s eHealth Exchange Community Healthcare Partners. These Veteran’s medical records are available for bidirectional exchange between VA and community clinicians for better care coordination with private sector health care providers. Currently, Veterans are required to sign an authorization form before VA may release their health information to participating Community providers, referred to “opting in.” To date, 366,922 Veterans, out of the 8.9 million Veterans enrolled in the VA health care system, have opted in, which represents only 4% of Veterans receiving care at VA. Congress is now discussing a bill that will allow all Veterans to be automatically opted into the health information exchange, opening up this exchange to the available 8.9 million Veterans. Having their health information more readily accessible enables these Veterans to receive more effective and efficient care when they visit participating Community Care Sites, which include nearly 1,000 hospitals, 19,000 clinics, 8,500 pharmacies, 600 labs, and 250 nursing homes.
“The eHealth Exchange has been working with the Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE), a program of the Veterans Health Administration, since 2009 to steadily increase health data sharing connectivity to ensure Veterans and their families receive the most effective care no matter where they seek it,” said Jennifer Rosas, director of the eHealth Exchange. “And once a Veteran receives treatment at a Community Care Site, we make it easier for VA-providers to receive care notes and follow-up.”
Being able to share health records with private sector healthcare providers is critical to care effectively for Veterans and their families. This will remain crucial as Veterans increase the care they receive in the private sector – an estimated 40-60% over the next 10 years.
The eHealth Exchange is the principal way that private sector health care providers are able to share health information with federal agencies to support patient care, quality assurance and disability programs. The public-private partnership’s purpose is to exchange data between and among federal agencies. The network supports sharing health data such as medical history, allergies, medications, procedures, family history, and other vital data points for more informed care decisions.
In addition to sharing medical records for treatment in the private sector, the Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE) also uses the eHealth Exchange to connect to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). Since the SSA and VA health IT initiative launched in November 2016 to speed disability determinations, one million Veteran records have been shared, enabling all Social Security disability case processing sites to receive medical records electronically from all VA facilities.
“Veterans often have complex care needs, due to the nature of their injuries and stress from their military service,” said Mariann Yeager, CEO of The Sequoia Project. “Having access to Veteran health data is essential for providing the highest quality care, no matter where a Veteran seeks treatment. The eHealth Exchange is honored to support the men and women in and out of uniform who have so bravely served our country.”

Williams Sonoma’s Labor Day Sale Has Unbeatable Deals on Le Creuset, All-Clad, Staub, and More Big Brands

De Pere spoils Legion opener
Marinette shaky early
Friday, June 07, 2013 7:00 PM
MARINETTE - By the time the Marinette Legion baseball team settled into Friday's game, De Pere Legion was well on its way to winning it.
Marinette Legion’s Austin Belonga dives in vain for a foul ball during Friday’s home game against De Pere Legion. EagleHerald/Jody Korch
De Pere went on to win 8-4 at Pedersen Ball Park in Marinette's season opener.
Outfield indecision, a missed cutoff man and a booted grounder gave the Panthers an unearned run in the first inning, and Carl Herlache's bad-hop single put De Pere up 2-0 in the second. There was nothing cheap about Paul Koltz's opposite-field solo home run which put De Pere ahead 3-0 in the third inning.
"We got some pitches up," Marinette coach Brian Lesandrini said. "Defense was a little rusty. It will take a little bit to get back in the swing of things. That was pretty evident how rusty we were."
Scott Eldredge, Austin Belonga and Luke Kelly are a year into college, and weren't in midseason form. The high school players had 10 days off since their last game.
"A little disappointing for your first game," Lesandrini said. "We've got to get the jitters out and just play baseball."
Marinette got two runs back in the third on Derek Klegin's double deep to left, Kelly's RBI single to left, Belonga's opposite-field single and a fielder's choice play. There would have been more runs if not for center fielder Paul Koltz's spectacular diving catch to rob Eldredge of extra bases.
De Pere third baseman Trey Ryan robbed Austin Wright with a leaping backhanded catch of a line drive in the second. Right fielder Brad Pierre made a shoestring catch of Ty Bebo's sinking liner in the fourth.
The Panthers did make two errors but made more plays than Post 39.
"All in all first game, combining two schools, playing together, I can't really complain about much," De Pere coach Kevin Norman said.
Ryan's RBI single pushed the lead to 4-2 in the fourth, but Marinette tied the game in its half of the inning with a two-out rally. Cody Tessmer and Klegin were hit by pitches and Eldredge lined an RBI single to center. Klegin came all the way around from first on a throwing error.
De Pere chased Kelly from the mound in the fifth. Koltz drew a one-out walk, Logan Devroy doubled, Pierre lined an RBI single to left and John McCormick singled in two more runs. The fourth run of the inning scored on a dropped third strike.
Lesandrini said good teams such as De Pere capitalize on mistakes.
"They certainly took advantage of their baserunners, and we left some on," he said.
McCormick and Herlache, the 8 and 9 hitters for De Pere, were a combined 5 for 7 at the plate.
"I was very, very happy with the way we hit the ball," Norman said. "Even our outs, we hit it hard. Marinette's a good team. It makes me more happy. We didn't beat a weak team."
Klegin went 3 for 3 for Marinette. The infield was sound, and Tessmer made three good plays in left, including a long peg to gun down Devroy trying to score from second on a base hit.
Wright pitched 22⁄3 scoreless innings in relief, with two strikeouts, one walk and one hit.

My Experience as a U.S. Public Delegate for the 2023 ECOSOC Youth Forum
This year, I attended the annual UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum as an Advisor in the U.S. Delegation from April 25-27. Being a youth delegate on our all-women team and working to affirm our country’s commitments to supporting and fostering youth leadership in human rights and the Global Goals was an incredible experience.
The ECOSOC Youth Forum empowers hundreds of young people to directly engage with UN Member States, UN officials, and others to share concerns, ideas, and recommendations for improving the monitoring, review, and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Youth Forum precedes the UN High Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in July and the SDG Summit at the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in September. It was convened by the President of ECOSOC Lachezara Stoeva, the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY), and the International Coordination Meeting of Youth Organizations (ICMYO). The Forum was co-organized by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the Office of the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth (OSGEY). This year, over 800 people attended the Forum in-person and thousands more joined online.
This year’s theme for the ECOSOC Youth Forum convened around “Accelerating the recovery from COVID-19 and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all Levels”. Five SDGs will be undergoing specific review at the HLPF this year and thus were focal points at the Youth Forum: SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
The U.S. Delegation was led by USUN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield and comprised of representatives from the State Department, the US Mission to the UN and the public and NGO community
Abby Finkenauer, Special Envoy for Global Youth Issues, U.S. Department of State (DOS) took the lead as our main expert and representative in the plenary and bilateral meetings for the delegation and Youth delegates. Anushka Srivastava and myself, spoke on behalf of the U.S. government at the UN and in a variety of virtual and in person meetings. (Other delegation representatives included Alexandra Nemeth, Deputy Special Envoy for Global Youth Issues (DOS); Megha Bhattacharya, Advisor for Strategic Communication, Office of the Special Envoy for Global Youth Issues (DOS); Kara Eyrich, ECOSOC Advisor, US Mission to the UN; Erin Tyler, Public Diplomacy Officer (DOS).
Being part of this team was incredibly affirming because we worked to address critical youth issues – this showed in our delegation’s remarks on the floor of the Trusteeship Chamber during the Ministerial session. We spoke about the importance of inclusive youth civic engagement and removing barriers to running for office. We also highlighted key findings and stories from the 2022 American Youth Priorities Report, making the call for more intergenerational leadership.
Hearing statements from the diverse perspectives of delegations present and taking part in bilateral meetings was also an amazing opportunity. These sessions were a chance for our delegation to gather best practices and find similarities in our goals and work, paving the way for powerful partnerships. Such partnerships are key to strategically collaborating – and informally holding each other accountable – on our commitments to uplifting youth leadership in global policy. For me, learning about these different avenues for taking this work beyond the walls of UN Headquarters, long after our brief interaction at this Forum, was the most impactful takeaway.
While the ECOSOC Youth Forum was an incredible experience, there were substantial issues, some of which are listed:
- Many delegations did not have a youth delegate.
- The youth delegates that were there, myself included, were predominantly from wealthier nations with more privileged backgrounds. Representation was heavily lacking.
- While the ECOSOC Youth Forum was hybrid, drastically improving overall participation, the events heavily favored and supported engagement for those attending in person.
- The side events I was able to attend fostered some of the most enriching discussions and feedback-gathering processes I have ever taken part in. That said, delegations did not prioritize attending these events, many of which were hosted by civil society.
- Young people are worried about the impact they can have at the upcoming HLPF and SDG Summit. Many of the young people at the Forum felt hopeless that their recommendations would not have any tangible impact and noted significant participation barriers that will likely prevent inclusive representation at these events.
Observing these gaps for myself and listening to these concerns from my peers at the Youth Forum was eye-opening. It reinforced how lucky I was to be there, and made me realize the enormous amount of responsibility we carry as people who can get in the door. At a minimum, it is crucial that we commit to improving representation by unapologetically uplifting the voices of those in our community who have the least say and are the most impacted by the work of the UN. But we need to go further. As Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield said, we need to make sure that young people aren’t just at the decision-making table – but are at the head of it. Meaningful youth representation will only come when we have meaningful youth leadership. I left feeling so inspired by people like Special Envoy Abby Finkenauer who, by example, demonstrates the power young people have to catalyze and lead global change. It made me realize that we all have a responsibility – to each other, and to ourselves – to find, build, and channel our power for creating a more equal and just world.

After holding six “Occupy Wall Street” related meetings, third-year transfer student and journalism major Roberto Lobianco and fourth-year international relations and Women’s Studies major Ashley Drzymala will be hosting a Community Dialogue and Discussion Panel that will address issues surrounding “Occupy Wall Street.”
“I am concerned with all of the issues [surrounding the ‘Occupy’ movement],” said Drzymala. “It is important to recognize that everything is connected and the underlying factors are greed and inequality.”
There will be a moderated discussion where faculty and students will be able to discuss different issues.
Lobianco said that he envisions professors and students sharing a discourse where professors will “give their opinions and viewpoints from the various perspectives of their disciplines and students are able to take part in that exchange.”
He said he wants to reach out to students, faculty and residents to bring the New Paltz community together.
Drzymala and Lobianco began facilitating these meetings after finding out they’ve both been involved in “Occupy Wall Street” in New York City. From there they decided to set up weekly meetings to organize the format of the Community Dialogue and Discussion Panel and find more students involved.
Drzymala was down at “Occupy Wall Street” for the first few weeks.
“I think the ‘Occupy’ movement is accomplishing its goals every day by creating an alternative space that encompasses and respects all individuals,” she said. “It is a community that runs on compassion and empathy and a microcosm of what the world could be.”
Since many people in New Paltz have been, or wanted to be, involved in the ‘Occupy’ movement, Lobianco thought it would be a good idea to bring the discussion to campus.
“One of the things that we hope to do is collaborate with local occupations and be able to organize our students to take part in the already ongoing protest in Poughkeepsie and Kingston.”
Some of the school organizations and departments that Drzymala and Lobianco will be collaborating with are the Student Association, Black Studies Department, Voice for Choice, Students for Sustainable Agriculture and the Anthropology Department.
The “Occupy Wall Street” protests began on Sept. 17 in New York City’s Zuccotti Park in the Wall Street/financial district. The protests have a number of areas of focus, some of which include social and economic inequality, high unemployment, greed and corruption.
The popular slogan created during the protests was “We are the 99 percent” and relates to the richest 1 percent of the population possessing all of the wealth.
Recently, the protests were disrupted by police and about 200 demonstrators were removed due to stated clean up efforts, according to a Nov. 15 CBS News article.
The event on campus will be held on Nov. 28 in the Student Union Multipurpose room at 7 p.m.

A. SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. The United States Department of Justice (Department) initiated this matter as a compliance review of Gokul, Inc.(Owner/Operator), which owns and operates the Kingston Ramada Inn (Ramada Inn facility), in Kingston, New York, under title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12188 - 12189, and the Departments implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 36. The compliance review focused on whether the Owner/Operator has complied with the title III provisions designed to ensure that guests who are deaf or hard of hearing have the full and equal enjoyment of the hotels goods and services. The compliance review did not and this Agreement does not address title IIIs effective communication provisions for people with other types of disabilities or other aspects of title III, such as other types of barrier removal.
2. The Ramada Inn facility has 147 guest rooms, each containing a television equipped with closed captioning for guests with hearing impairments. There are three pay telephones located in the main lobby that are equipped with shelves and a nearby electrical outlet to support a portable TTY, and one telephone is equipped with volume control. The Owner/Operator maintains one communication kit at the Front Desk, which includes a teletypewriter, a TTY, a visual notification device to alert guests of incoming telephone calls, a visual door knocker, and an alarm clock bed vibrator. There are two accessible guest rooms equipped with visual smoke and fire alarms. The maintenance employees have been trained on how to install the accessibility equipment. The accessibility equipment is checked to ensure that it is in good working order.
3. Title III of the ADA requires public accommodations to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 12182 and 28 C.F.R. §§ 36.201 and 36.202.
4. The ADA Standards for Accessible Design (Standards), 28 C.F.R. pt. 36, App. A, specify that hotels that must comply with the Standards (newly constructed or altered hotels) that have 147 guest rooms are required to have 12 rooms equipped with visual emergency alarms, visual notification devices to alert room occupants of incoming telephone calls and a door knock or bell, and accessible electrical outlets within 4 feet of telephone connections to facilitate the use of TTYs. Alternatively, portable visual alarms and communication devices may be provided. 28 C.F.R. § 36.401 and Standards 9.1.2, 9.2.2(8), 9.3.1, and 9.3.2.
5. The owners, operators, lessees, and lessors of hotels and other places of public accommodation that were built before January 26, 1993, and not modified since January 26, 1992, must remove architectural barriers to access to people with disabilities when doing so is readily achievable. 28 C.F.R. § 36.304. The barrier removal must comply with the Standards where doing so is readily achievable. 28 C.F.R. § 36.304(d).
6. The main and executive wings of the Ramada Inn facility were constructed, respectively, in 1971 and 1983 and have not been altered since. Therefore, title IIIs readily achievable barrier removal provisions apply, rather than the new construction or alterations provisions.
7. Public accommodations must also provide effective communication to persons with disabilities, including providing appropriate auxiliary aids and services such as teletypewriters (TTYs) except where doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods or services provided or impose an undue burden. 28 C.F.R. § 36.303.
8. The Ramada Inn facility is located at NYS Thruway, Exit 19, Route 28, Kingston, New York. It is a place of lodging and therefore is considered a place of public accommodation as defined in section 301(7)(A) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12181(7)(A), and its implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. § 36.104.
9. The Owner/Operator of the Ramada Inn facility owns and operates a place of public accommodation, so it is a public accommodation covered by title III of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12181(7), and its implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. § 36.104.
10. The Attorney General is authorized under section 308(b)(1)(A)(i) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12188 to undertake periodic compliance reviews of entities that are covered under title III. See also 28 C.F.R. § 36.502 (c).
11. The Attorney General is authorized under section 308(b)(1)(B) of the ADA, 42
U.S.C. § 12188(b)(1)(B), to bring a civil action under title III in any situation where a pattern or practice of discrimination is believed to exist or where a matter of general public importance is raised. See also 28 C.F.R. § 36.503(a).
12. In consideration of the terms of, and consistent with this Agreement as set forth below, the Attorney General agrees to refrain from undertaking further investigation or from filing civil suit in this matter, except as provided in paragraph 23.
13. This Agreement is the result of a negotiated compromise. Its terms do not reflect the full legal requirements of the ADA; nevertheless, in the interest of finality, both parties believe it is in their best interest to enter into this Agreement.
C. REMEDIAL ACTION
14. Within 30 days from the effective date of this Agreement, the Owner/Operator will acquire one TTY to be maintained at the Front Desk to enable staff to communicate with hotel guests who use TTYs, such as guests who request wake-up calls, place room service orders, or have other routine telephone communications with hotel staff.

17. The Owner/Operator shall maintain all devices acquired in accordance with paragraphs 14, 15, and 16 in good working condition. This includes, but is not limited to, acquiring appropriate contracts for service, maintenance, and prompt repair of the devices.
18. The Owner/Operator acknowledges that purchasing TTYs under the schedule set forth above does not impose an undue burden and that it is readily achievable to purchase the other equipment required by this Agreement on the schedule set forth above.
19. The Owner/Operator will continuously monitor usage of the equipment required by this Agreement and will purchase additional equipment, to supply up to 12 rooms, if needed to meet demand and if doing so does not impose an undue burden (for TTYs) or go beyond what is readily achievable (for the other equipment).
20. The Owner/Operator will ensure that all Hotel staff is trained in all ADA issues relevant to the hotel, including, but not limited to: 1) location of accessible parking and entrances; 2) location and type of accessible guest rooms; 3) accessible features within each accessible guest room; 4) location of accessible routes into and throughout the hotel, where not all routes are accessible; 5) location and use of accessibility equipment (e.g., TTYs, closed captioned televisions, visual notification devices); 6) all hotel reservations and other policies regarding visitors with disabilities or accessible features; 7) maintenance of accessible routes; and 8) all requirements of this Agreement. The Owner/Operator will ensure that all persons on staff at the time of the effective date of this Agreement are trained in these issues no later than 10 days after the effective date of this agreement, and that future staff are trained in these issues within 24 hours of beginning employment.

26. The effective date of this Agreement is the date of the last signature below.

Scott. C. Idleman, Private Conscience, Public Duties: The Unavoidable Conflicts Facing a Catholic Justice, 4 U. St. Thomas L.J. 312 (2006)
4 University of St. Thomas Law Journal 312 (2006)
When questioned about the relationship between their faith and their decision making, Catholic judges typically invoke a model of detachment, pursuant to which their governmental role and responsibilities are not directly governed by, and thus do not readily conflict with, their potential duties as a faithful Catholic. This position of detachment has been expressed both during confirmation hearings and in situations where judges are asked to remove themselves from a case due to their religious beliefs or affiliation. This article addresses the possibility that this position is potentially at odds with Catholic Church doctrine regarding the obligations of civil officials. In particular, the article advances three arguments. First, it contends that the potential for conflicts between one's judicial and religious obligations will always exist and that trying to avoid it either by strategic ignorance or by attempted detachment is an inadequate avenue of resolution. Second, especially given a general lack of direct and authoritative Church teaching on the matter, each judge is individually obligated, by exercising the prerogative of a well-formed conscience, to resolve the conflict as it may arise from case to case. In so doing, the judge should ideally reach an outcome - even if this occasionally means recusal - that is consistent both with the Church's teachings and their natural implications, and with the professional responsibilities attending the judicial role. Third, if the result is recusal or anything else extraordinary, and if court rules or customs so require, the judge should be willing to explain the basis for his or her decision, assuming that the judge also employs an appropriate level of prudence.

The Best Travel Writing of Don George Book Review
Don George has been a travel writer for over 40 years. In that time he has compiled and edited The Best of American Travel Writing, Lonely Planet, and even a book written about how to be a travel writer, and yet he has never penned a book of his own travels.
The Way of Wanderlust: The Best Travel Writing of Don George, is a collection of his favorite stories that he’s written over the years. Broken into three categories: Pilgrimages, Encounters, and Illuminations, we can see his transformation as a writer, as a traveler, and as a person.
Don George is the very definition of a storyteller. Each of his pieces had me captivated from the start. Whether he was sleeping on the roof of a Greek hostel, making friends in the Cambodian jungle, or heading to Thanksgiving in his own hometown, he makes me want to get up and go. He makes me want to be a better storyteller.
Each story is introduced with a short excerpt about why it was written, where it was originally published and why he felt compelled to tell it. As a travel writer I found this incredibly helpful in learning how to focus my own tales, as a reader I found it aided in my understanding of the article.
We see him go from a young man exploring the world to an English teacher in Japan, a married man traveling the world with his wife to a father learning to travel with his family. Several of his stories brought me to tears. He has this incredible way of expressing his emotions, of showing, not just telling, and it pulls at your heart strings. He is entirely relatable whether you’ve traveled the world your whole life or you’ve never left your hometown.
His words made me think more about my own journeys and how they have affected and changed me in so many ways. I found myself constantly underlining whole paragraphs that really spoke to me.
“Travel teaches us about love. It teaches us that the very best we can do with our lives is to embrace the people, places, and cultures we meet with all our mind, heart, and soul, to live as fully as possible in every moment, every day.”
Read The Way of Wanderlust to escape the mundane, to travel the world from the comfort of your couch, or read it to spark the wanderlust within.

Council tax payers in Nuneaton and Bedworth face an average increase of around £30 a year.
The borough council voted for a 1.75 per cent rise which, when added to those already approved by Warwickshire County Council (1.95 per cent) and Warwickshire Police (1.99 per cent), means that people in a Band D property will now be charged £1,600.56 for 2015-16.
Coun Dennis Harvey, leader of the Labour-controlled local council, said: “Our tax level will be £211.19 for a Band D property, which is an increase of less than £4 a year or 7p a week.
"In fact, though, as 80 per cent of our properties are in Bands A-C, most people will pay much less than this."
He added: “This figure will still mean that Nuneaton and Bedworth will yet again have the lowest council tax in the county, across all five Warwickshire districts."
The cabinet proposal was overwhelmingly agreed at last night’s full council meeting, while the opposition Tories’ alternative budget and one put forward by the two Green councillors were rejected.
There will be increases in council house rents (3.11 per cent), mobile home rents (three per cent) and building control fees (3.5 per cent) but all other charges, including those for car parks and market stalls, stay the same.
The Council Tax rise will bring in £128,000 towards the authority’s £172,000 budget deficit and additional money will be raised by reducing the contribution to Pride in Camp Hill by £10,000 and undertaking external health and safety work.
Coun Harvey said that £50,000 will be invested in town centre improvements, although he gave a warning of tougher times ahead.
"After almost five years of scouring budgets and finding new and innovative ways of providing essential services, our local situation is becoming desperate.
"Despite our long record of careful financial control of our residents’ money, services are under threat as never before,” said the stalwart councillor.
"We must be aware that next year’s projected shortfall is huge, possibly £1million, caused directly by even more savage cuts proposed by the government."
Tory group leader Coun Kris Wilson recommended a three per cent reduction in the Council Tax, which would qualify for a £83,000 government “freeze grant” while more than £100,000 could be raised by tendering out the refuse collection and building control services.
He also suggested closing the Civic Hall bistro and ceasing the young people’s Breakaway Club.
Green councillor Keith Kondakor proposed the same Council Tax increase as Labour and said that money could be saved by reducing the Civic Hall staff; having one, instead of two, civic bonfires; and putting up car park season ticket charges by 20 per cent.


Each week, BBC Radio 4 broadcasts readings from a book serialised in five 15-minute episodes. In the week beginning 18 January 2021, the readings were from English Pastoral: An Inheritance by James Rebanks, a farmer from the Cumbrian fells. His farm is relatively small, covering 185 acres.
He has attempted to make it much more sustainable and less intensive, reintroducing traditional Herdwick sheep, having a mixture of cows and sheep rather than just sheep, a greater sub-division of fields, and more natural scrubland, peatbogs and trees. As a result, soil quality has improved and there has been an explosion of biodiversity, with an abundance of wild flowers and insects.
Apart from being an autobiography of his time as a farmer and his attempt to move towards more traditional methods, the book examines broader issues of agricultural sustainability. It looks at the pressures of consumers wanting cheap food, the market power of supermarkets and wholesalers, the cost pressures on farmers pushing them towards monoculture to achieve economies of scale, and the role of the agrichemicals industry promoting fertilisers, feeds and pesticides which bring short-term financial gains to farmers, but which cause longer-term damage to the land and to biodiversity.
Rebanks has gained quite a lot of media attention after the publication of his first book, The Shepherd’s Life, including being one of the guests on Desert Island Discs and the subject of an episode of The Food Programme.
Listen to the Food Programme podcast and try answering the questions, which are all based on the podcast in the order of the points made in the interview.

Tianna Kirkland, a former Women's Basketball Bulletin Division II third-team All-America selection and Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) "Player of the Year," returns for her second season on the Butler staff. In addition to her on-court coaching responsibilities, Kirkland oversees the team's travel operations and serves as the program's camp director. She also assists with scouting and recruiting.
The Flint, Mich., native arrived at Butler after two seasons as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan University. There, her responsibilities included on-court coaching and the coordination of the program's film-exchange, scout team, and team managers. She was also involved in recruiting and individual skill development. Additionally, Kirkland oversaw the purchasing of all team equipment and the CMU Ball Girl program. Kirkland has served as an instructor at numerous camps, in addition to running Central Michigan's camp for two summers.
Kirkland enjoyed a stellar four-year career at Ferris State University. She led the team in rebounding as a sophomore, junior, and senior and led the team in scoring her last two seasons. Kirkland helped the Bulldogs to their first NCAA Division II National Tournament appearance as a junior. She was named All-GLIAC second team as a junior and GLIAC North Division first team the following year.
Kirkland graduated from Ferris State in 2002 as one of the university's most accomplished players. She finished her career as Ferris State's tenth-leading scorer (926 points), third-leading rebounder (705), and fourth-best shooter (.540, 350-for-648). She also ranked in the Top 10 for free throws made (ninth, 226) and blocks (fifth, 40).
A two-sport athlete, Kirkland also participated in track and field at FSU. She holds the school indoor and outdoor records in the shot put, in addition to the Bulldogs' record discus mark. A two-time co-captain, she also earned Division II All-America honors in the indoor and outdoor shot put and the discus in 2002.
Kirkland graduated from Ferris State in 2002 and holds a bachelor's degree in applied biology. She earned her master's degree in business administration from Central Michigan in 2004.

The Comey memos have figured prominently in the events leading to the appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to continue the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign originated by the Obama administration in March 2016 or so. Moving on to fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, today’s New York Times introduces the McCabe memos. In its story today the Times continues to flog the theory that President Trump may have committed some offense by firing James Comey as FBI Director, or that Mueller thinks this is within his charter.
McCabe isn’t a great witness, but the McCabe memos add to the evidence suggesting that Rod Rosenstein is or should be a prominent witness in the investigation for which Rosenstein himself has supervisory responsibility. The Times reports: “Mr. Rosenstein has consulted departmental ethics advisers about whether to recuse himself from the Russia investigation and has not done so.” I find that hard to understand. What did the advisers say? I’d like to know.
The story by Matt Apuzzo, Adam Goldman and Michael S. Schmidt continues a genre that the Times has pioneered in the Trump era. It does not appear to be based on the reporters’ review of the memos in issue. I don’t think the story includes a quotation from any memo. Rather, the story appears to be based on interviews with someone or other who discussed the memos with the Times “on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matters.”
So far as I can tell, the Times reporters themselves haven’t read a single memo. Their story is yet another of the Times’s peculiar as-told-to-us stories and as-read-to-us stories by sources with apparent if unstated agendas. These gauzy stories distinguish the Times’s continuing efforts to assist in the engineering of the removal of Trump from office.

Having to spend any amount of time in the hospital is hardly an enjoyable experience, but arguably the worst part of it is eating the food served there. From trays of gray mush and processed meat to preservative-filled desserts, hospital meals have been known for being anything but appetizing. But that’s starting to change. Hospitals are bringing in chefs, who have been a key force behind the movement to improve school food, to help clean up their own kitchens and serve better meals to patients.
Hospitals are recognizing that what they’re serving isn’t just food, but also a lesson about how to eat and maintain health. Providing healthy food teaches people about what they should be eating outside of the hospital, and can help them avoid unnecessary returns for follow-up visits and even readmissions, which contribute to rising healthcare costs.
That’s why many hospitals, including one in New York City, are bringing in professional chefs to help turn their dining rooms around and make the food more delicious. At NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, cardiologist Hooman Yaghoobzadeh and his team of chefs have helped to revamp the menu, turning out dishes that look more like hip food hall fare than hospital food, with offerings that include mushroom ragout and pan-roasted flounder.
To meet the demands of patients’ diets, the meals are now designed to follow Mediterranean, vegan and traditional Asian dietary patterns and must adhere to guidelines that specify a daily allowance of less than 30 grams of fat (aside from add-ons), 1,500 milligrams of sodium and no more than 25 grams of added sugar. They also have to meet criteria that doesn’t typically apply to hospital food, such as palatability and plate appearance.
It’s a move that isn’t only good for patients, but also for the bottom line of hospitals, as the improved meals are cost-neutral or slightly cheaper than fast-food options. The health benefits of the more nutritious food are expected to recoup costs within six months, and then continue to pay off for years to come.
Ideally, the healthier meals will encourage patients to continue making similar choices at home. But that’s not always the case, particularly in places where the hospital is one of few places people can reliably eat well. For that reason, some hospitals are extending their efforts to educate and inspire patients after they leave the hospital, by running what is basically a community teaching kitchen. For instance, LIJ Valley Stream is the first hospital in the Northwell Health system to run a “food pharmacy,” where low-income patients who are discharged can come weekly to receive bags of groceries based on a physician’s written prescription. This will help them to continue following the kind of dietary pattern that can keep chronic diseases at bay, and prevent future hospital stays.
