This all-vegan food truck offers burgers, fries, mac bowls, and more.
Good news, Florida vegans—a new vegan food truck, Plantology, brings vegan food to Gainesville! Joining three other food trucks at the area’s Midpoint Park and Eatery, this 100% plant-based biz serves up house-made cheezy burgers, loaded fries, and mac bowls. The new spot, which opened July 1, plans to offer quality vegan comfort food to the Gainesville crowd.
Plantology’s Eco-Friendly Practices
In addition to providing healthy, organic food options, owner Ryan Strandjord aims to incorporate sustainable business practices in an effort to contribute to a more compassionate planet. Plantology’s eco-friendly practices include offering organic produce—load up on the loaded fries!—with future plans to source as many ingredients as possible from local organic farmers. The all-vegan food truck also utilizes sustainable (either compostable or recyclable) containers and minimizes waste (something the restaurant industry is notorious for) as much as possible. But let’s get back to talking about the food!
Florida Vegan Comfort Food
In an effort to forward the vegan movement and to encourage more people to try plant-based dishes, Strandjord plans to curate a menu that appeals to vegans and non-vegans alike. As such, you’ll find traditional favorites with a vegan comfort food twist on the menu at Plantology. From the BBQ Sandwich to the Buffalo Ranch Chik’n Sandwich to the Bacun Slaw Mac Bowl (mac ‘n’ cheeze, tempeh bacun, slaw, ranch, and special sauce drizzle), you can indulge to your appetite’s content. Don’t sleep on their Bacun Chedda Loaded Fries (organic fries, chedda, bacun, slaw, ranch, and special sauce) or their Deluxe Burger (vegan burger, cashew chedda, BBQ chick’n, lettuce, tomato, and special sauce on a brioche bun)!
Plantology is located at 931 SW 2nd Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601 at Midpoint Park and Eatery. Their hours are 11am-7pm Monday through Saturday. For more information, follow Plantology on Instagram (@plantologyfoods) or check out their website at PlantologyFoods.com.

Nigeria has recorded six new cases of the B117 strain of COVID-19 have been found in the country, bringing the number of cases in the country to seven.
Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Chikwe Ihekweazu confirmed this on Monday during the Presidential Task Force (PTF) briefing in the nation’s capital Abuja.
He expressed concern over the rising number of deaths in the country and noted that the Covid-19 strain which was first reported in the United Kingdom is deadlier and as such Nigerians must be careful.
Ihekweazu said there is a worrisome development in the country as in the last week, 75 health workers have reportedly tested positive.
According to the NCDC boss, rapid test kits have been approved in five hospitals within the FCT, adding that the plan is to later deploy the kits to other parts of the country.
He called on governors to approach the NCDC for guidance on how to use the kits and urged all stakeholders to help stop the increasing level of stigma around the virus, which is making many people stay away from getting tested.
Last Monday, the Presidential Task Force (PTF) announced that the Covid-19 strain first reported in the United Kingdom had been discovered in Nigeria.

Evaluation of Cardiorespiratory Effects of Dexmedetomidine Isolated and Associated With Morphine in Bitches Submitted to Elective Ovariossalpingohisterectomy under General Inhalation Anesthesia
Background: Elective ovariossalpingohysterectomy is one of the most accomplished surgeries in veterinary practice, presenting moderate degree of pain. Aiming at balanced anesthesia, α2-agonists have been increasingly used, with dexmedetomidine being characterized by its sympatholytic, sedative, analgesic properties and synergism with opioids, benzodiazepines and other drugs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine alone and associated with morphine under the cardiovascular, respiratory and body temperature variables in the pre and trans-operative periods in bitches submitted to elective ovariossalpingohisterectomy under general inhalation anesthesia.
Materials, Methods & Results: Sixteen bitches were used in this study, which were submitted to elective ovariossalpingohisterectomy, all of which were clinically healthy based on clinical and hematological results. The animals were randomized into two groups, in which intramuscular dexmedetomidine alone and 5 µg/kg (DG) and 0.3 mg/kg morphine (GDM). In both groups, anesthesia was induced with propofol administered and maintained with isoflurane diluted in 100% oxygen administered through a calibrated vaporizer and appropriate anesthetic system based on the weight of the animal and kept under spontaneous ventilation. After stabilization of the patient, the surgical procedure started, which lasted 45 minutes. The parameters evaluated were heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (ƒ), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), body temperature (TºC), expired isoflurane concentration , partial carbon dioxide gas pressure (ETCO2) and oxygen saturation in hemoglobin (SatO2), which were measured before and after the application of preanesthetic medication and at specific surgical times: 5 and 15 min after anesthetic induction; during the incision of the skin; muscle incision; ligation of the left ovary; ligation of the right ovary; ligation of the uterine body; laparorrafia; suture and at the end of surgery. A significant difference was observed between the groups in respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, body temperature, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, saturation of oxygen in hemoglobin and pH, only in some times evaluated. GDM bradycardia occurred 30 min after preanesthetic medication; acidemia and mild to moderate hypercapnia in both groups, being more pronounced in GDM, although without statistical difference, and hypothermia. The concentration of isoflurane expired in both groups was higher during the muscle incision until laparorrhaphy compared to the other surgical times.
Discussion: The results of this study show that there was adequate analgesia during the elective ovarian resection procedure, considering that the values found during the surgery were relatively lower than the baseline values and within the physiological limits for the species, even during the moments of greater painful stimulation, such as ligation of the ovaries and ligation of the uterine body. In the GDM group, bradycardia occurred after 30 min of pre-anesthetic medication, but its occurrence was transient and without interfering with blood pressure, increasing to the next evaluation time and stabilizing in physiological values for the species. There was also a gradual reduction in respiratory rate in both groups over time, with an increase in PaCO2 in GDM at the end of surgery, indicating respiratory depression, as well as a reduction in pH in both groups at all times.

First came the idea of HIGHRISE: a multi-year project to document the human experience in vertical suburbs. We cut a trailer to explain.
Then, we did a year of research about (sub)urbanism, growing segregation, highrises and how we could shape the future of our urban planet. We collected these ideas in the PROLOGUE.
Meanwhile, we began a participatory project with 6 highrise residents living in a Toronto suburban highrise, and asked them to show the world what the view looks like from inside. Their collection of stories and photographs became our first documentary called THE THOUSANDth TOWER, named so because the city has over 1000 towers.
Our global research was beginning to yield incredible stories from highrise neighbourhoods around the world, proving that inside drab concrete towers, people can create community, art and meaning. We put those stories together in one virtual highrise, using a 360° game-like interface.
The project is called OUT MY WINDOW, and has garnered international awards and attention.
We took photos and audio from OUT MY WINDOW, and in co-production with the Canadian Film Centre and artist Priam Givord, created an art INSTALLATION that brought the stories and images into a physical environment. It premiered in Amsterdam.
And just now, We’ve added a feature to OUT MY WINDOW called PARTICIPATE. Users share views from their own windows through photos and text.
We’ve also continued to work with the 6 highrise residents living in a Toronto Suburban Highrise. This time with architects by their side, the residents are imagining what their neighbourhoods *could* look like with a bit of attention and ingenuity. Animators are bringing their sketches to life, and guru creative technologst Mike Robbins adapts the story into a virtual landscape in ONE MILLIONTH TOWER
In a special collaboration with The New York Times, we traced the history of the Highrise building through 2,500 years, in an interactive and animated storybook built from rarely seen archival photographs called A SHORT HISTORY OF THE HIGHRISE
We’re researching many more ideas, including an emerging academic study with Dr. Deborah Cowen of the York Global Suburbanisms team to understand the digital lives of suburban citizens. And much more. We’re on a multi-year journey to discover what’s inside (and outside!) the most commonly-built form of the last century, the HIGHRISE. And that’s THE STORY SO FAR.

Mitt Romney’s VP pick Paul Ryan is a wine-sipping elitist who hangs out with hedge fund managers… and there’s nothing wrong with that. Last year Paul Ryan was seen at an expensive Washington, DC restaurant drinking two bottles of $350-bottle wine with outspoken hedge fund manager Cliff Asness and University of Chicago professor John Cochrane (the image is sourced from TPM).
Cliff Asness is the founder of AQR Capital, a quantitative hedge fund managing around $30 billion in assets. Cliff Asness is probably a billionaire and he is a huge supporter of the free enterprise system. Interestingly he supported Obama during the 2008 elections probably because Republicans’ free enterprise system brought Asness’ hedge fund to the brink of collapse. AQR’s flagship Absolute Return fund lost more than 50% in 2007 and 2008. We are experts about hedge fund returns. Most hedge funds aren’t absolute return; they are usually around 50% long, so it’s normal for hedge funds to underperform the market in bull markets and outperform them in bear markets. Absolute return funds are different animals. They aren’t supposed to have big losses or gains, and they shouldn’t be highly correlated with the markets.
AQR’s huge losses in 2007 and 2008 are unbelievable. If I were the manager of AQR at that time, I would have probably voted for Karl Marx! Free enterprise is fine as long as you are the one who’s making hundreds of millions of dollars. Free enterprise isn’t fun when you are losing half of your wealth. The government should do something about it!
Mitt Romney picked the best VP candidate he can pick in this election. America is clearly in the middle of a class warfare. Somebody has to pay for the huge deficits that are the result of financial crisis and irresponsible military spending. Obama is on the side of Robin Hood and wants to tax the rich to pay for it. Mitt Romney seemed to have been on the side of the rich before he announced his VP pick. Now Romney has sent a clear message by picking Paul Ryan: Paul Ryan is a wine-sipping elitist who hangs out with hedge fund managers. There is nothing wrong with that because he paid $350 for the wine he drank. Now it’s America’s turn to decide how to pay for the Bush tax cuts, military spending, bailouts, and generous social policies.

Solar Powered Car Market’s Bright Future Suffers a COVID-19 Induced Blip: Study
by Team Fact.MR
Global solar powered car market rally has been temporarily impacted by the sluggishness induced due to COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study by Fact.MR. However, the study is bullish on the long-term prospects of the market, with growth rates set to hover around 20% through 2030.
According to Fact.MR, prices of solar energy components are declining continuously since last four decades and are expected to decline further. It is expected that this form of renewable source of energy will be cheaper than fossil fuels in the near future.
This fall in the pricing along with the technological advancements in the field are expected to boost the solar powered car market. Furthermore, the pandemic has caused the prices to drop even faster since its onset. As the global economy is facing challenges, the fall in the prices of solar panels and components is steeper than expected.
Meanwhile, this is paving way for the faster transition towards adopting clean energy. One of the major reasons holding people back from using this source of renewable energy was the myth that it is expensive than traditional fossil fuels. With plummeting prices, the future looks positive for the global solar powered car market.

Now that we’re a few episodes in, it’s becoming clear that The Expanse is a show that’s going to stay in our good books. Or, on our good lists, rather. We’ve gotten a good look at some of the worlds, experienced some of the characters and begun to understand some of their motives, and have a good idea of the type of conflict brewing.
Usually by the time all these things become apparent, you can decide whether or not you’re going to like the show. I’ve decided that I like it, and you probably have, too, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this review.
In this episode, we sacrifice a bit of the grander scope that we’ve been getting accustomed to in the series. Instead, this episode focuses on a much more personal battle, which is great because it shows the true capability of this show in regards to building a universe from the ground up and having realistic conflicts at all levels.
That alone shows that The Expanse is a lot more mature and in-depth than many of the other run-of-the-mill shows available on the network. Another cool thing about the expanse is that it doesn’t necessarily work to blow the viewer’s minds away with expensive computer animation. Instead, it aims to develop a realistic approach to phenomenon many of us will ever experience.
A good example is the way that this show handles its anti-gravity scenes. Many movies and shows paint anti-gravity as a romantic image (though I must admit, the sex scene in the first episode certainly did romance justice), but here, the directors have strived to make it realistic and, in a word, gritty. Watching bubbles of zero G blood float around the surviving characters is one way to do this.
The Expanse also keeps you on your feet. You don’t approach a battle knowing who’s going to win, or even how the battle is going to be one. There are so many factors interplaying at any one time, and we’re always liable to be introduced to a surprise factor at any moment.
The detective’s story has begun to slow, though this is probably necessary for future moments of intrigue. He’s found out that Julie Mao, the object of his investigation, has been involved with Bizi Betiko, whose death doesn’t seem to line up properly. This adds another layer of depth to the mystery.
And, as if the show didn’t have enough depth, this show also introduces us to the Mormons of 200-years-from-now. It seems that, in addition to themes of romance, prejudice, wealth, and conflict between cultures, we also have an added layer of religion. Awesome!
As always, the episode answered few questions and left us with many more. It seems that everything will be lining up sometime soon, though. The Canterbury’s destruction, Julia’s investigation, and the conflicts being pitted against our characters are all intertwined. But how?

In this paper we describe the design of the TerraScope Image Navigator (TIN), the graphical user interface module of the TerraScope system. TerraScope is an Earth science data middleware system that was designed to facilitate collaboration among a set of data repositories (peers) who wish to provide their geo-spatial data thru an integrated portal. The base of the system is a distributed database that collects heterogeneous spatial data taken from satellite ground stations. TIN, as a component of TerraScope, retrieves images and related information from the distributed database and deals with the effective presentation of this kind of data to the user. TIN allows recursive navigation of the image space by dynamically embedding retrieved sub images as spatial hyperlinks inside other retrieved images. The TIN prototype was implemented using an interactive movie authoring environment (Flash MX) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) to communicate queries and retrieve data and metadata from the server. As a result, we expect to port TIN to multiple platforms, including portable devices, with relative ease. Measurements using a small image database suggest result set rendering times in the order of a few seconds and response time 97% dominated by server computation.

Wearing our values means buying better- being informed, seeking well designed and well made products. Knowing the impact of a purchase on all levels can lead to some of the biggest change, and we are on a mission to see some of that change.
From food to clothing to electronics, our purchases have an impact that is usually much more widespread than meets the eye.
Think about a $5 cotton t-shirt: the fibre was grown, harvested, dyed, spun, woven / knitted into fabric, produced and packaged- most likely all in different locations and transported a multitude of times. The impact of this one t-shirt can spread across continents, touch the lives of thousands of people and use an incredibly significant amount of resources. When you buy this $5 t-shirt, can you honestly say you are aware of the impact it has? If you can, great! If you can’t, it’s time to start asking some questions to really know what you’re buying.
Being a conscious consumer means making informed decisions. Get informed by asking questions- ask your favourite brands where and how their clothing is made. As consumers, we hold an incredible amount of power. Companies and brands rely on consumers to buy their products to be profitable businesses. Without our dollars, they would essentially cease to exist. Used wisely, this consumer purchasing power can enforce some serious amounts of change in the way clothing is produced, sold and consumed.
We have seen a major shift in attitudes towards fashion in recent years at the hands of internet and social media as a tool for raising awareness. The 2013 collapse of Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh saw to the opening of global eyes to the realities of garment production in developing nations. It also saw to the development of the global social movement Fashion Revolution, a movement spread through social media to raise awareness of garment production encouraging consumers to ask ‘who made my clothes’.
It saw to a wave of consumer concern for how their clothes are being made, resulting in the need for global brands such as Zara to list their sustainability policies and implement programs such as H&M’s recycling initiative. This consumer push also saw to brands sourcing and creating supply chains of ethical production as well as the creation of many stores, blogs and websites around the world advocating and selling ethically produced clothing.
Social media is widely used as a means to band together with like-minded people to work towards a common goal. Already a huge network of people are gathering all around the world to bring light to a global issue, learn and teach new practices and offer alternative choices and solutions for consumers. Buying better can involve utilising these available resources to find ways in which you can make changes in your lifestyle and consumption behaviour.
Buying better may mean buying less, it may mean buying organic or fair trade. It may mean buying one big investment item per year, or it may mean buying directly from the producer. Find how buying better can fit within your lifestyle. Start with asking asking questions, doing some research and understanding how your choices impact people and the planet.

Room was spacious and clean, but needs an update. Staff was friendly. Complimentary breakfast includes eggs, waffles, cereal, yogurt, and fruit. Definitely would stay here again!

WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWTI) — Another state-run correctional facility will close its doors in 2022.
On November 8, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision announced that six New York prisons will close on March 10, 2022. This includes the Ogdensburg Correctional Facility.
Following this announcement, several lawmakers in the North Country responded, protesting the closure. This includes Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, R-NY, State Senator Patty Ritchie and Assemblyman Mark Walczyk.
Rep. Stefanik referred to the closure of the Watertown Correctional Facility back in March 2021 in her statement, claiming that another prison closure will impact North Country families.
“New York Democrats, led by Kathy Hochul, have continued to undermine our law enforcement and make our communities less safe. Our brave Correctional Officers still put their lives on the line daily, even as crime across New York and violence in prisons have skyrocketed under failed Far-Left Democrat leadership. Now, Governor Hochul continues to undermine the rule of law by closing North Country prisons, which will devastate our region. Targeting multiple North Country prisons is an attack on the hardworking residents of the North Country. Nearly 300 Correctional officers and their families will be displaced. This decision is just one more example of Governor Hochul lurching to the left and completely punishing upstate New York. Governor Hochul must reverse course. New Yorkers deserve better.Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY)
Sen. Ritchie also addressed Governor Kathy Hochul directly and requested additional information on the status of the Watertown Correctional Facility.
Instead of taking a hard look at how yet another prison closure and the loss of hundreds of jobs will affect our region, she has fallen lockstep with the downstate Democrats and their agenda that puts criminals before the rights and safety of law abiding New Yorkers. People in the North Country did not ask for things like bail reform and other changes that have caused prison populations to decrease and crime rates to skyrocket. Yet once again, Albany is taking it out on us.
It seems like just yesterday that the previous administration announced Watertown Correctional Facility would be closing. Today, it still sits empty, with no concrete plans for its repurposing. I ask the Governor—what is the plan for Watertown Correctional Facility? What will the plan be for Ogdensburg Correctional Facility, which as many know, is in the midst of a major, nearly $10 million capital project slated to be completed in January? To many, it would only seem logical to have a plan for these facilities before they close, so they do not end up as vacant, eyesores in the communities where they exist. As I have come to find though, most decisions made by Albany bureaucrats are far from logical.
To say I am deeply disappointed and angered by today’s announcement would be an understatement.Sen. Patty Ritchie
In his statement, Walczyk criticized the DOCCS for having no plan for the closure. He considered the closure of the Ogdensburg Facility “devastating.”
During the budget hearings earlier this year, I made it clear to the Commissioner of DOCCS that you don’t announce the closure of a State prison and then figure out what to do with the building later. Closing a prison with no plan is lazy, it’s not fair for the hardworking staff, and devastating to a host community like Ogdensburg. It’s also pretty terrible for the taxpayer, too.
The move to close the Ogdensburg Correctional Facility proves to me the Commissioner and the Governor didn’t listen. The St. Lawrence County economy relies on the more than 250 jobs associated with this facility. State leaders in Albany didn’t plan accordingly and instead, they have torpedoed the upstate economy.
I’m calling on Governor Hochul to exercise some transparency, listen to reason, and develop a closure plan that’s logistically sound and fair to all concerned. I stand side-by-side with our region’s brave COs and staff.
Additionally, everything she’s done so far has shown Governor Hochul cares more about the comfortable lifestyle of convicted, violent felons than she does about Corrections Officers, Law Enforcement, taxpayers, or safety on our streets.”Assemblyman Mark Walczyk
The Ogdensburg Correctional Facility currently staffs 268 employees and houses 158 incarcerated individuals. The DOCCS plans on working with bargaining units to provide staff from the facilities with priority placement via voluntary transfers and priority employment at other facilities or other state agencies. The Department said in a statement that they do not anticipate any layoffs will take place due to the closures.
Additional facilities that are set to close in 2022 include Moriah Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility, Willard Drug Treatment Campus, Southport Correctional Facility, Downstate Correctional Facility and Rochester Correctional Facility.

To follow up from yesterday’s post where the GOP was suing Obama for using an Executive Order to slow down implementation of Obamacare (the law they had been trying to not have implemented for four years) — today they demanded that Obama do something about immigration “without the need for Congressional action.”
Let’s let that sink in for a minute.
The Republicans are upset that Obama uses Executive Orders (even though he’s used them less than any President since Grover Cleveland). They sued him over it, and it was for postponing parts of a law they had been trying to kill forever.
Today, Speaker Boehner issued a statement demanding that he use his Executive Order power to do something about the immigrant children.
No, no. I still can’t wrap my head around it.
Executive Orders are bad — and he should use them more often? Executive Orders are bad when Obama does things we agree with and good when he does things we agree with?

Campus Only Senior Thesis
Bachelor of Arts
© 2017 Anna C Bonsey
This study explores college students’ attitudes towards hookup culture, and how these attitudes potentially shift over their four years in college. More specifically, I examine how being a student at a women’s liberal arts college influences students’ interactions with the hookup culture, and how the education they receive shapes these interactions. I conducted in-depth interviews with 11 students at Scripps College, all in the spring semester of their senior year. I investigate themes including: pluralistic ignorance, sex positivity and female empowerment, criticisms of gendered stereotypes, and race and class dynamics within the hookup culture.

Karen B. Strier is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
This important book provides a readable, remarkably thorough, first
look at the biology of the muriqui, the largest New World
primate...Comparable to the works of Jane Goodall, this highly
recommended book will appeal to a wide range of readers. -- T. C.
Williams * Choice *
Years of fieldwork and focused research have contributed to this fascinating and ultimately optimistic publication, which outlines the fight against extinction of the wooly spider monkey. Muriquies remain one of the most endangered primates, but the detailed profile drawn up by the author and her fellow researchers has provided crucial information in their fight for survival. In all areas Strier has carried out impressively thorough and precise research, outlined here in a very readable form, accessible to specialist and laymen alike. * British Bulletin of Publications *
A highly readable mixture of personal anecdotes and serious science that will inevitably be compared with Old World classics such as Jane Goodall's In the Shadow of Man and Dian Fossey's Gorillas in the Mist. -- Stephen F. Ferrari * International Journal of Primatology *

Very sad news today that beloved 80’s TV hero, Bob Holness, has died at the age of 83.
He was also an accomplished actor and broadcaster, but other children of the 80’s may remember best the soft toy mascots, the flashing hexagons and the infamous ‘Can I have a P please, Bob?’ which inexplicably was still hilarious, even on the seventeenth time of watching.
And what other TV show can claim a dance routine created solely for its theme tune?
R.I.P. Bob. Enjoy the memories:
p.s. who knew he was South African?

In an interview with CNN, American singer Cher spoke about her experience of visiting Pakistan to release Kaavan the elephant. Cher told the host that Kaavan first came to her notice on Twitter, where Twitter users were tagging her with the hashtag #FreeKaavan. The singer expressed that she was reluctant to come to Pakistan at first and she was not sure how she would get the job done.
“I thought I’m just an entertainer, how am I gonna go to Pakistan and free an elephant? We had to work with 2 administrations and when Imran [Khan] came in, everything got much easier,” the singer said. Cher has been working to free Kaavan for three years and she said she was determined to not stop until the elephant was freed. She also told the host how welcoming the Pakistani people were. The singer further described how happy Kaavan was once it got to the wildlife sanctuary in Cambodia.
"I thought I'm just an entertainer, how am I gonna go to Pakistan and free an elephant? We had to work with 2 administrations and when Imran [Khan] came in, everything got much easier." – @cher sharing her experience on advocacy for #Kaavan ‘s release.
— PTI (@PTIofficial) December 16, 2020
Cher met Prime Minister Imran Khan at Islamabad during her visit to Pakistan. PM Imran Khan appreciated her efforts for retiring elephant Kaavan to a wildlife sanctuary in Cambodia, where he will be provided a better habitat.
PM Khan also invited the American singer to participate and contribute towards the current government’s efforts for the conservation of protected areas across Pakistan, to which she kindly agreed.
In the conversation with Cher, Khan expressed relief that elephant Kaavan, after living for 35 years in Islamabad’s Zoo will retire with other elephants in a special animal sanctuary. Cher appreciated the extraordinary initiatives like the “Protected Areas Initiative” and “10 billion Tree Tsunami” commenced by the PTI-led federal government for the protection of ecology and mitigate the adverse impact of climate change in Pakistan.
— Prime Minister's Office (@PakPMO) November 27, 2020
Later Cher took to social media and informed her followers about her meeting with PM Khan. She spoke highly of him in her tweet. The video of the meeting between Khan and Cher was shared on social media. In her tweet, she hinted at producing a documentary of transporting Kaavan from Pakistan to Cambodia.
The singer arrived in Islamabad on 27th November to what she said would be a life-time experience to see Kaavan flying to Cambodia.
“Can’t wait to sing to him on way to Cambodia,” said Cher in a Twitter statement.
“AHHH KAAVAN’S TRAVELING CRATE & HOME WHEN HE GETS TO CAMBODIA. It’s LIKE A DOG CRATE. A VERY HUGE DOG CRATE. IN BEGINNING IT WILL MAKE HIM FEEL-SAFE & COMFORTABLE,” said Cher in a tweet.
“Just saw Kaavan made a little Video. He’s SO PRECIOUS. I Will SOB WHEN I SEE HIM 4 THE FIRST TIME Maybe I’ll need a Take 2. IM STARTING TO GET SO EXCITED,” she said in a tweet on November 15th.
— Faisal Javed Khan (@FaisalJavedKhan) November 27, 2020
Islamabad Zoo gave a farewell party to Kaavan which was attended by the public and government officials. With music, treats, and balloons, friends of Pakistan’s only Asian elephant threw a farewell party for the creature ahead of its relocation to Cambodia following years of campaigning by animal rights activists.
The plight of Kaavan, an overweight, 35-year-old bull elephant, had drawn international condemnation and highlighted the woeful state of Islamabad’s zoo, where conditions are so bad that a judge in May ordered all the animals to be moved.


The Police Command in Niger state has apprehended a suspected informant allegedly connected with the abduction of four victims and killing of two persons after collecting a ransom of N13 million, last year in Rafi local government area of the state.
The incident, it would be recalled occurred on 14th November 2021 at about 2pm when suspected armed bandits invaded Tegina town shooting sporadically and abducting four persons into Kagara forest, including one Aminu Garba and others.
The state police through the Public Relations Officer, PRO, DSP Wasiu Abiodun made this known in Minna.
He said upon the receipt of this information then, the Command mobilized and drafted a combined team of the tactical squad comprised of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, FIB tactical squad and vigilante members to the forest.
Abiodun also said that as a result of the sustained operational pressure on the hoodlums, two victims later escaped from their captivity, while the remaining two others were still with them including the said Aminu Garba.
According to him, the remaining two victims, i.e Aminu Garba and one other were killed by the kidnappers after collecting a ransom of thirteen million naira”

However, he disclosed that on 29th August 2022, based on technical intelligence, one Nasiru Musa aged 30yrs of Tegina was arrested within the town in connection with the crime.
“During interrogation, the suspect confessed to have conspired with one Lelwi presently at large who connected him with one Gwaskan-Daji also at large and several others to kidnap the victims and collected the ransom. He claimed that he benefitted two hundred thousand naira only from the crime proceeds and he was also planning to kidnap the Council Chairman of Rafi LGA before his arrest,” Abiodun revealed.
Furthermore, the state police paraded one Umar Shehu aged 31yrs of Bakori, Funtua LGA of Katsina State, a notorious arms dealer who supplies arms/ammunition to different bandits’ camps in Katsina, Kaduna and Niger State.
The sookesman explained that the suspect confessed to having supplied arms and ammunition to bandits in Madaki forest Katsina, Ganai camp in Maidaro forest Kaduna and a syndicate member terrorizing Kwamba/Maje area of Suleja.
“He confessed further to have purchased arms from Abdulmani ‘m’ of Taraba State who was neutralized in Kaduna by the FIB squad early this year. He claimed that he got one hundred thousand naira from every 500 ammunition he delivered to any bandit’s camp. A case under investigation,” the police added


Derbyshire have named a 14-player squad for their opening Metro Bank One Day Cup fixture against Sussex Sharks at The Incora County Ground, starting tomorrow (11am).
Batter, David Lloyd, returns to the squad having been unable to play against his parent Club, Glamorgan, while Luis Reece, Harry Came and Haider Ali will all be looking to build on strong starts with the bat. The top-order trio have scored a combined 377 runs in the opening two games.
Pathway youngster, Harry Moore, is named in the squad after a string of impressive showings in Academy games, the Second XI and for the Midlands at the recent ECB Super Fours.

Sussex Sharks are chasing their first win of the competition, having been defeated by Durham and Northamptonshire in their opening two fixtures.
India batter, Chateshwar Pujara, scored a century against Northants on Sunday and will be looking to build on his impressive form in English cricket so far.
With the ball, Jack Carson leads the way with six wickets, while fast bowlers, Henry Crocombe and Brad Currie, have combined for seven dismissals.
Opener Harry Came says making the most of the moments when Derbyshire are on top in games will be key if they are to turn their Metro Bank One Day Cup form around.
Derbyshire have made strong starts to each of their two 50-over games, with Came and opening partner, Luis Reece, putting on stands of 71 and 134, while Haider Ali has also scored two half-centuries batting in the top order.
However, quick wickets in the middle order has seen Derbyshire score 298 in each innings, when they had looked on track for north of 310, while wickets for the Derbyshire attack have been at a premium.
Came says the squad must be more ruthless when the momentum is with them, and hopes to see that mindset shift starting with Wednesday’s game against Sussex Sharks.
“I think we were about 30 short, especially being two down for nearly 200 we would have liked to have got at least 330 from there,” he said.
“Hopefully for Wednesday we will have learned our lessons and come back and put plenty of runs on the board.
“At 100-2 we were right in the game but they didn’t have to take too many risks and they had a few soft balls which got them away which was very frustrating for us and that’s something we are going to look to put right.”

Derbyshire’s Metro Bank One Day Cup fixture against Sussex Sharks will be covered live on the Club website, through our improved Match Centre, delivered in partnership with Purpose Media.

In February 2021, after an enormous winter storm left tens of millions of individuals with out energy in Texas, a number of movies began circulating on social media that purportedly confirmed one thing unusual occurring with the snow. These movies featured individuals making an attempt to mild snowballs on fireplace, and have been typically accompanied by the declare that the snowfall in Texas had been artificially made by the federal government.
There’s no fact to those claims. The above-displayed video doesn’t “show” that the federal government manufactured a large snowfall in Texas. Quite, this video demonstrates a typical property of snow.
Science blogger Phil Plait explained that the explanation the snow doesn’t seem to soften in these viral movies is as a result of it’s reabsorbing the water because it melts. Plait additionally famous that the scorch marks are created by a chemical response:
To summarize, two issues occur: One is that because the snow melts, the remaining snow absorbs the water. That’s why it doesn’t seem to drip; the snowball turns into a slushball.
The black scorch marks are literally from the lighters themselves. Butane is a hydrocarbon, a molecule made up of carbon and hydrogen. If you burn it, the molecule reacts with oxygen within the air, breaking the bonds between atoms, and reforming new molecules. If the burning have been excellent, all you’d have left is carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20).
Right here’s a video of Plait performing this experiment:
This isn’t the primary time web customers have been perplexed by the properties in snow. We first wrote about this rumor again in 2014.

A comet is schedule to pass right near the sun in 2013, and reportedly could rival the "Great Comet of 1680" according to Russian astronomers.
Experts are predicting that Comet Ison could draw millions out of their homes at night to witness a spectacle that could be brighter than a full moon. It's already predicted to be the brightest comet viewable from earth in "many generations."
The comet was discovered through a telescope at the Kislovodsk Observatory in Russia by astronomers Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichnok. They had been planning on using the International Scientific Optical Network's 40cm telescope on the night they made the discovery, but clouds foiled their plans according to a report by The Independent.
"Comet Elenin springs to mind as a recent example, but there are more famous examples of comets that got the astronomy community seriously worked up, only to fizzle," said Karl Battams of the Sungrazer Comet Project. "This is quite possibly a 'new' comet coming in from the Oort cloud, meaning this could be its first-ever encounter with the Sun."
Once the night cleared up, the duo started taking pictures and Nevski loaded them on a computer program that is designed to help astronomers find asteroids and comets soon after. It was then that he noticed a large bright object. They weren't able to confirm the object was a comet, so they requested time with a larger telescope to get another look.
Soon after, they determined the object was a comet and named it Comet Ison. They've been able to confirm that the comet has been traveling for "millions of years" get close enough to earth were scientists could see it.
The duo predicts that people will be able to see the comet between November and December 2013 without the assistance of a telescope according to The Independent. Its tail could act like a searchlight in the sky, and could be seen to "the unaided eye" for months.
The comet may have competition next year however, as another one is scheduled to be close enough to earth to also be seen by "the unaided eye." The 2014 L4 was discovered last year, and could be seen in the night sky sometime between March and April according to NASA.

Oil prices have edged down due to fuel demand concerns and the increase in Covid-19 cases across Europe and the US.
Brent crude futures for December were down $0.17 or 0.4% to $42.28 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures fell by $0.18 or 0.5%, touching $40.02, Reuters reported.
On 13 October, in its monthly report, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said that 2021 oil demand will rise by 6.54 Mbpd to 96.84 Mbpd.
The new estimate is 80,000 bpd lower than its forecast a month ago. The decline in the new estimate is due to the economic disruptions caused as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
OANDA senior market analyst Edward Moya said: “Oil prices are steady in Asia as the dollar rally takes a break and as the Russian and Saudis show a united front in making OPEC+ oil producers live up to their pledged output cut promises.
“Crude prices are looking very vulnerable as the coronavirus continues to spread like wildfire across Europe and trending higher in the US.”
Meanwhile on the supply front, the US Gulf of Mexico crude oil production continued to recover just four days after Hurricane Delta storm made its impact.
In the US, Hurricane Delta dealt the ‘greatest blow’ to the Gulf of Mexico energy production in 15 years. It was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone by 11 October.
According to a preliminary Reuters poll, the US crude stocks likely fell last week while distillate stockpiles were seen falling for the fourth week.

A molecular dynamics investigation of the environment surrounding an infinitely dilute Xe-like Lennard-Jones atom in a supercritical Ne-like Leonard-Jones fluid shows enhanced solute-solvent interactions (clustering) in the vicinity of the solvent's critical point. Under near-critical conditions, the solute is at all times surrounded by an environment which is greatly enriched in solvent with respect to bulk conditions, but the identity of the solvent molecules in the cluster changes continuously. The enhancement of solute-solvent interactions in the Xe-in-Ne near-critical system is in contrast with the behavior exhibited by the symmetric Ne-in-Xe near-critical system (i.e., infinitely dilute Ne in near-critical Xe). In this case, the environment surrounding Ne atoms tends to be solvent lean with respect to bulk conditions. As Ne's critical point is approached, Ne-Xe interactions become progressively irrelevant with respect to Ne-Ne interactions, giving rise to pronounced density fluctuations around the Xe atoms. Differences between Xe-in-Ne and Ne-in-Xe near-critical systems are confirmed by cluster statistics and stability analysis.

“When you’re in a box, it’s hard to think outside the box,” says Leslie Bright, mother of three and a proud participant of the Healthy Families (HF) program.
Nine days before giving birth to her 3rd child, Leslie found herself suddenly single after 10 years of marriage.“I was at my weakest point, scared, overwhelmed and crying every day.”
Initially reluctant to accept a referral, because ‘who wants a stranger in your home pointing out what you do wrong’, Leslie is now a vocal advocate for home visitation and, in particular her HF case manager.
“It was like she read my mind about what I needed,” Leslie says about Jennifer Krichman. “The kids took to her right away and now she’s like part of the family.”
Even with two children already, Bright says she still learned a lot from HF about parenting and child development. She also changed her mind about home visitation. ‘Being in the home, they can see exactly what you need without you having to ask.”
The family is thriving. Leslie is back to work and in training for a managerial position. “I am striving for more, so my children can have more,” she says. She has re-discovered her positive outlook and credits the many people who showed they cared about her and her kids.

They Moved And Left Their Dog Behind, Tied Up In The Cold Without Food. So He Ate Metal To SurviveAshley Maisano
A family moved away a few days before Christmas, leaving their dog behind at their home in Detroit, Michigan. They abandoned him in the backyard, chained up in the cold without food or water.
Neighbors discovered the dog, named Tad, and called Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue for help. When rescuers arrived, the dog was starving and barely alive. He was so hungry that he had resorted to eating scraps of metal and carpet to survive.
Tad needed a blood transfusion because of internal bleeding, and he was also covered in ticks. He had blockages in his digestive system from eating all of the garbage that he was surrounded by.
Thankfully, Tad is now getting the help he needs and is on his way to recovery. Once he is healthy enough, he will be put up for adoption and will hopefully find a loving family to help him heal.
You can contribute to Tad’s recovery by clicking here.
