Casillas: Barca can’t brag about fielding 11 homegrown players
Real Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas feels that clubs should not mix sport and politics, while also stating that Barcelona should not be too boastful about fielding 11 homegrown players, as it wasn’t too long ago they had all foreign players.
- By Tom Conn Follow @TomConnISF
In a recent interview with Spanish television station, La Sexta, Casillas discussed a variety of topics, starting with the controversy in Spain surrounding Barcelona and their support of Catalan independence and if he would like to play for a club with close ties to politics.
“I like the club I play for, it’s universal and inclusive. It respects and understands ideologies all over the world and that is where the club’s greatness lies.
“It would be a bad thing for footballers to mix sport with politics, any comment we made could be taken out of context and turned into a national debate via social media. It’s better to seperate the two things.
Casillas was then asked if the locker room of millionaires ever discussed the economic crisis in Spain.
“Of course we talk about the crisis. Being a footballer and someone people recognise on the television does not mean you don’t have friends and family. Iker Casillas has friends, Iker Casillas has a family and Iker Casillas also knows people who are suffering.”
Casillas then concluded by responding to which academy he thinks is better between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and also took a shot at the praise Barcelona has received for fielding a team of all La Masia graduates against Levante several weeks ago.
“Well, there’s this whole thing about Barcelona playing 11 players from their youth system [against Levante]… I remember 11 or 12 years ago when Barcelona played with 11 foreigners.
These things come in cycles, and Barcelona should not boast about the fact that now they have fielded a team of 11 academy players.
The image they want to project is about what they are doing now, but a few years ago, when Puyol and Xavi were starting out, there were barely any academy players in the team.
“Of course I would like to see more people from Madrid playing for the club, but Madrid are such a huge club that all the best players in the world want to play for them, and sometimes the best players come from outside Spain.
Real Madrid’s academy is fantastic, it has created many great players that are now playing all around Spain and all around the world. We have nothing to envy about other teams’ academies.”

Eteropod [Pterotrachea hippocampus] is actually part of the Phylum Mollusca and is a gastropod. Heteropods are visual predators and along with janthinids are the only prosobranch gastropods to live their lives entirely in open ocean. This individual is only two inches long and was photographed at night in open ocean several miles off the Big Island of Hawaii. It's tail is on the left and the "big fluffy" part is the gills.

From the Indian ocean Island Nation of Madagascar. This is one of the world?s largest trees. It lives for over 2000 years. It is definitely a curious looking one. It is also called the upside down tree - as its structure looks more like roots in winter when there are no leaves. Gets to a height of 16 to 20 meters. Trunk is bottle shaped.
Leaflets arranged like the fingers or digits of a hand - hence the name digitata. Adansania is named after Adanson, a French botanist. The flowers are large and white. They hang from the ends of branches. They are followed by cucumber like hairy fruit. Monkeys relish the fruit so the popular name monkey bread tree. All parts are useful. Provides timber, fibers, leaves as vegetable and acidic seed are an important source of vitamin C, Citric and Tartaric acids.
Usually planted in large gardens, parks and on road-sides. Does not offer any shade in winter and most of summer - but form and structure grabs immediate attention. A slow growing tree. Leaves fall in winter and new leaves appear in May. Most trees planted in India are from the British times. New ones need to be planted.

Spencer's pups are acting differently and he's at a loss as to what to do.
Since moving into his new home, his two dogs have been great.
He kennels one of them and the other is allowed to be in his bedroom while he's gone.
Now the pup who stays in his room has ripped up his sheets.
Spencer said the dog gets anxiety and paws at the sheets until there's a tear, and then wants to play with the tear - causing more problems.
He really doesn't want to have to have 2 large kennels in the house, but he obviously doesn't want this destructive behavior to continue.
Is he the *A* for kenneling both dogs during the day, all day?
Let us know what your dogs have destroyed, and what did you do?

Even though Running Scared hit with all of the impact of a sneeze, it managed to change the way I saw Paul Walker. That is to say…I realized he had a pulse. There wasn’t a lot of convincing proof before then as every role he’d taken required little of him but to smile and stare blankly as he reacted to things. But here, he was a compelling lead in a very kinetic story that just got crazier as the running time went on. I remember leaving the theater actually looking forward to where he would go from there, which seemed inconceivable just a few hours earlier. Alas, Flags Of Our Fathers came and went, an while he hasn’t done a whole lot since, he continues to rack up starring roles.
In fact, he’s re-teaming with the producers behind Eight Below, the cutesy animal flick that came out juuuust before Running. This new film is an independently financed thriller called The Heaven Project, which is being billed as a psychological thriller and a love story.
Maybe this will show that the guy has a better eye for material than he’s had in the past. I think there’s a lot of charisma and spark that has yet to be fully tapped within the guy, and he’s deserves a chance or two to show it off.

The Brooklyn Nets’ decision to move on from head coach Kenny Atkinson immediately ahead of the 2019-20 NBA season being suspended caught a lot of people by surprise.
Despite some major struggles, Brooklyn was still in playoff positioning at the time of the move. With the season still suspended, things have come to a halt in terms of finding a long-term replacement.
According to Marc Stein of the NY Times, Brooklyn has some initial candidates for the job. That includes former Nets head coach Jason Kidd and veteran head coach Jeff Van Gundy as well as former Warriors head man Mark Jackson.
Jackson’s inclusion is specifically interesting in that he just went on record indicating that the Warriors’ brass has attempted to blackball him after he was fired following a 51-win 2013-14 campaign with the team.
As it relates to Kidd, the current Los Angeles Lakers assistant served as the Nets’ head coach in 2013-14. He led the team to a 44-38 record and a playoff appearance.
The interest in former Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue is not surprising. Kyrie Irving, who played under Lue in Cleveland, is open to the idea.
This is a situation that likely won’t play out until the 2019-20 concludes or is canceled altogether.

December’s TUF 22 Finale in “Sin City” continues to build with the addition of two new bouts.
Mirsad Bektic (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is set to meet Tatsuya Kawajiri (34-8-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a featherweight bout, and Joby Sanchez (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) meets Justin Scoggins (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at flyweight. UFC officials recently announced the new bookings.
The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale, which concludes the 22nd season of the “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, takes place Dec. 11 in Las Vegas at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan. The main card is expected to air on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Bektic, an American Top Team product, will look to stay unbeaten. In May, he picked up the first stoppage win of his UFC career when he stopped Lucas Martins 30 seconds into the second round with a TKO in Brazil. Prior to that, his first two UFC wins were by decision over Chas Skelly and Paul Redmond.
In Kawajiri, Bektic will face his most accomplished opponent yet. The Japanese fighter has experience in Shooto, PRIDE, DREAM, Strikeforce and ONE Championship on his resume. Following a loss to Gilbert Melendez for the Strikeforce lightweight title in 2011, he eventually dropped to featherweight and has been on a 7-1 run since the setback. After a “Fight of the Night” decision loss to Clay Guida in April 2014, Kawajiri got back on track in June with a decision win over Dennis Siver in Berlin.
Scoggins currently is ranked No. 14 in the latest NOS Energy Drink MMA flyweight rankings. He won his first two fights in the UFC to move to 9-0 18 months ago, but then suffered back-to-back losses in 2014 to Dustin Ortiz and John Moraga. He rebounded in May with a decision win over Josh Sampo at UFC 187 in Las Vegas.
Sanchez, who trains at the Jackson-Winkeljohn camp in Albuquerque, N.M., picked up his first UFC win in January with a split decision over Tateki Matsuda in Boston. After starting his career a perfect 6-0, he debuted in the UFC a little more than a year ago, but dropped a decision to Wilson Reis for the first loss of his pro career.
With the additions to the card, The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale now includes:
- Frankie Edgar vs. Chad Mendes
- Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
- Evan Dunham vs. Joe Lauzon
- Ryan LaFlare vs. Mike Pierce
- Mirsad Bektic vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri
- Joby Sanchez vs. Justin Scoggins

“A common sight on the Northland roads is the brown and gold livery of the Mangonui Haulage Ltd fleet of trucks hauling logs, livestock, bulk or concrete.
The company has been established since 1980 and became the sole responsibility of Dennis Sparksman in 1989. It operates out of two depots with one in Kaitaia and the other (the head office) at Mangonui.
When Dennis took the company over there were only 10 trucks in the fleet with three Internationals on livestock and others on general and bulk. That same year Mangonui did a deal with Juken Nisho Ltd (now Juken New Zealand Ltd) in Kaitaia, to haul logs into their triboard mill. The haulage company put two 1985 International T-lines into service carting logs to the mill and occasional loads to the old wharves at the Whangarei Port.
The mid 1990s saw the expansion of the mill to include a veneer manufacturing plant, during the same period the export logging business in the Far North grew rapidly. Mangonui Haulage expanded with the increase in logging and when Juken New Zealand assumed control of a large area of planted forest land in the north and instituted a clear felling policy, Mangonui’s logging fleet dramatically increased further to cope with the expanding work load.
All of the clear felled land has continued to be replanted and this has lead to an ongoing business for all companies involved in the timber growing and supply industry.
As the Mangonui fleet has grown so have the facilities at the Mangonui depot. These include a complete workshop for manufacturing and repairs of all truck and trailer units, a complete spray painting workshop which includes all of the application of colour designs and graphics, a full mechanical engineering workshop, and a sandblasting facility for restoration and repairs.
Over recent years Mangonui has used Isuzus as the company operated stock trucks and Mitsubishi/Fuso for all other work, but a recent company decision has seen the purchase of two new Kenworth T408E 8×4 trucks which have been fitted to new Evans logging trailers.
Both T408E’s are fitted with Cummins ISX 550 horsepower engines with 1850lb/ft of torque, Eaton RTLO20918B 18-speed manual gearboxes, Meritor RT46/160 diffs with cross locks and power divider and Kenworth Airglide 460 steel pedestal air suspension.
The front axles are fitted with load share sus- pension systems and the total combinations have ABS and EBS brakes and are certified as HPMV with 22.3 metre approvals.
The Evans trailers were purchased as glide kits, which only included the chassis and bolsters. All other components were fitted in the Mangonui workshops. These included ROR axles and air- bags. The load scales were also fitted by the workshop.
Most of the graphics and signage was applied in house as was the painting of the trailers.
With the two new Kenworths, the Mangonui Haulage Ltd fleet has increased to 42 with 30 rigs on logs, seven stock units, two tippers and three ready mix concrete trucks.
The driver of this month’s Mangonui Haulage Ltd TOP TRUCK is Charlie Oliver and at this point in time he cannot stop polishing his new charge. The truck is owned by Sean and Darren, the two operational managers at Mangonui Haulage Ltd, and the other Kenworth is com- pany owned.
The presentation of the entire Mangonui fleet is maintained to a very high degree and there is no doubt that when the second Kenworth is commissioned, Charlie will have some stiff com- petition for the position of ‘Company Flagship’. Maybe it will end up a ‘twins’ situation.”

The best way to sample the surrounding landscape, which includes one of Portugal's most beautiful lakes, is with a private hot-air balloon tour at the break of dawn.

I've heard that Whole Foods is in this business, too, selling cupcakes for $2.75 a pop (and a four cup minimum). True? Cool. This earlier take on the East End and its environs is finally getting some traction.
I remember when $2.75 used to buy a whole gallon cake. Cupcakes came in one flavor and one flavor only. And when I wanted a drink, I got a drink, not a cupcake.

Winter Session of Parliament: Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury slams govt for not letting Farooq Abdullah attend LS proceedings, not allowing MPs to visit J&K
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary said it was an 'atrocity' not to allow former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah to attend Lok Sabha proceedings
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in Lok Sabha launched blistering attack on government for barring MPs from visiting Jammu and Kashmir
Chowdhary said it was an 'atrocity' to not allow former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah to attend Lok Sabha proceedings
Chowdhury also raised the issue of withdrawal of Special Protection Group cover of former prime minister Manmohan Singh and the Gandhi family
New Delhi: Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday launched a blistering attack on the government for barring members of Parliament from visiting Jammu and Kashmir while allowing members of the European Union Parliament to visit Srinagar.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Chowdhary said it was an "atrocity" not to allow former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah to attend Lok Sabha proceedings. The Congress leader used a derogatory term for members of the European Union to which some members took objection.
Speaker Om Birla said he would examine whether the remark should be expunged. "Our leader Rahul Gandhi was not allowed to visit (Jammu and Kashmir), several MPs were sent back ... is it not an insult that we cannot go there ... migrant labourers were killed, Army men are dying," he said.
Chowdhury also raised the issue of withdrawal of Special Protection Group cover of former prime minister Manmohan Singh and the Gandhi family. He said as former prime minister, late Atal Bihari Vajpayee remained under SPG protection.
The Speaker said when Home Minister Amit Shah had informed the House in the previous session that Abdullah was not under detention, he was correct. The written information of his detention was received later by the Lok Sabha secretariat.
He said now he has written information that Abdullah is under detention. Earlier, within minutes of commencement of the Question Hour, around 30 members from the Congress trooped into the Well, shouting slogans and demanding that the government stop attacking the Opposition as well as foisting false cases.
The members along with those from the National Conference also raised the issue of detention of Farooq Abdullah. The issue was also raised by RSP leader NK Premachandran when he was given a chance to ask a supplementary question related to the Finance Ministry.
"Farooq Abdullah is not in the House. The House is not in order. I am not in a position to ask any question," Premachandran said.

FRANKFURT (AFP) – German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz said yesterday its net profits in the third quarter doubled year-on-year, to almost EUR4 billion (USD4 billion), driven by better sales in China.
Despite continued problems with supply chains, the company saw revenues increase by 19 per cent, to EUR37.7 billion.
Incentives from the Chinese government to encourage people to buy cars helped to boost car sales in the company’s biggest market, Mercedes said.
The group’s vehicle sales in China – its biggest market – rose to 222,600 in the third quarter, an increase of almost 70 per cent on the same period a year earlier.
In contrast, the group sold just 146,100 vehicles in Europe, it said.

Without a doubt, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have reimagined the franchise, introducing multiple new features helping players find solace in the midst of challenges in their new comfort game. Similarly, one of the new features introduced radically changes the moves relearning process in Pokemon SV, which now removes the concept of tutors from the equation.
Not only does this cut out the hassle of finding an NPC to help your Pokemon relearn the move, but also greatly simplifies it. Without further ado, let’s take a look at how your Pokemon can relearn moves in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
How to relearn moves in Pokemon SV
The process of relearning moves in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is fairly simple since it does not require the player to find a tutor for their Pokemon anymore. Open the in-game menu and select the Pokemon you want to relearn moves and check their summary.
Now, select the tab of current moves, which will open a bunch of other tabs, through which you will be required to select remember moves. This will open up a menu consisting of all your Pokemon’s previously learned moves.
From here you can select and learn any move you want, except for the ones that are ahead of your Pokemon’s current level.
How to forget moves
Similar to relearning moves, forgetting moves is just as easy. Open the in-game menu and check the summary of the desired Pokemon.
Now, go to the current moves tab, and select the Forget a Move option from the list. This will allow you to forget a move for the selected Pokemon without the hassle of any extra steps

The longstanding debate surrounding content and its regulation has been reignited with the release of draft recommendations for a Broadcasting Services Bill. While experts anticipate increased content regulation, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has a different point of view. For it, self-regulation remains the way forward while the introduction of a content evaluation committee will just act as an additional self-check layer.
In an interview with Storyboard18, MIB Secretary Apurva Chandra delves into discussions about the growth of linear TV co-existing with OTT platforms, regulatory considerations and strategic plans for the AVGC sector (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics), among others.
With the television industry showing signs of recovery and financial stability, some even surpassing pre-Covid numbers, how do you assess this progress and the role of policy measures adopted by the Ministry in achieving these results?
It's truly heartening to witness the resurgence of viewership on linear TV. A few years back, predictions swirled about the demise of linear TV with the dominance of OTT platforms. However, the narrative has shifted, and linear TV has not only survived but thrived. The increased programming and content offerings have contributed to this revival. We've been actively engaging with stakeholders, addressing concerns such as TRP ratings. To enhance transparency, we have now made raw-level data available, alleviating earlier concerns about data quality. The past year has seen significant developments, dispelling notions of stagnation in the television industry.
The broadcasting industry has been facing some growth issues but experts believe both linear broadcasting and OTT can grow together as in a huge, diverse country, TV has still room to grow. What’s your view?
India currently has around 18 crore TV households, with the overall number of households nearing 30 crore, indicating considerable potential for the expansion of TV households. Prasar Bharati has undertaken a program in remote areas, securing government financing to distribute eight lakh set-top boxes for free dishes to be received directly. This initiative aims to extend television access to areas previously underserved. It's worth highlighting that both linear TV and OTT platforms can co-exist, and the landscape is evolving with many linear TV channels also branching into the OTT space, offering viewers a diverse range of content options.
The television broadcasting sector has witnessed significant changes in consumer behaviour and content consumption patterns. How is the Ministry adopting policies to align with these evolving trends and ensure a dynamic and responsive regulatory framework?
The Ministry refrains from delving into content specifics because that is up to the channels. Our involvement is centred around the programme code and advertising, ensuring content is non-offensive, and avoids disputes, violence, obscenity, or immorality. We maintain a soft touch approach, avoiding unnecessary intervention. It is not like censorship in the traditional sense where we would want to look at each and every content. That being said, we do address complaints and issues, issue warnings and take action when necessary.
Encouraging industry self-regulation remains our preference for a balanced and responsible content ecosystem.
There is no credible data available on the number of TV households and multi-TV households, etc. Will the Ministry use the upcoming National Census to include some questions in the census questionnaire so the government has credible data on the broadcasting sector as it will help both MIB and TRAI to formulate policies governing the sector?
It's indeed a good idea to incorporate these types of questions. In the past questions like whether a household had a radio or not were asked but considering the evolving landscape, it may be beneficial to ask more about TV setups—whether it's a satellite connection, direct-to-home (DTH) connection, or a free dish connection. This is a valuable suggestion.
Moving on to the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC), the body has been under scrutiny, especially regarding raw-level data issues. What steps is the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting taking to address and rectify these concerns, ensuring transparency and reliability in television audience measurement?
BARC functions as an industry body involving advertisers, broadcasters, and agencies, with the government providing guidelines on data measurement methods. We've urged BARC to expand the number of households in their measurement, considering India's diverse regions. They have agreed to do that over time. While the entertainment segment receives minimal complaints, the news segment, particularly English news, faces challenges due to a smaller sample size. To address concerns, we suggested one-month rolling data for news channels. Now, for the sake of transparency, we've advised BARC to provide raw-level data so that news channels can themselves see and arrive at their own conclusion based on it.
Experts believe the time has come for the government to deregulate the broadcasting sector so it gives competition to the emerging OTT sector, as this measure will help India to become a content hub of the world as per the vision of the Prime Minister as well as provide freedom to the consumer to exercise their choice to opt for whatever platform on which they want to watch content?
In the cable TV industry, we are actively working on streamlining regulations. Our goal is to centralise operations through a Broadcast Seva Portal, eliminating the need for Local Cable Operators (LCOs) to register at post offices. This portal simplifies compliance for Multiple System Operators (MSOs) as well, making the entire process more efficient. Regarding content competition, the cable and DTH players industries are also vying for customer attention. In this landscape, the rise of OTT platforms adds another dimension to consumer choices. As a government, we remain impartial, supporting all three entities and letting technology advancements and customer preferences dictate the trajectory rather than regulations.
Some experts are questioning if it is fair to include OTT in the Broadcasting Services (Recommendation) Bill. What do you have to say?
We have released the Broadcast Services Bill, for public comments, inviting a healthy and informative debate. We are open to incorporating valuable feedback into the final version. The existing regulatory landscape for media is spread across various Acts like the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, and the IT Act for OTT. The new bill consolidates these regulations into different chapters, recognising the unique aspects of each domain. Notably, the regulation for OTT platforms is a light touch regulation and not the same as the others.
On the growth prospect of the OTT vertical, you and the Minister have been consistently assuring the sector that the government does not want prescriptive regulations like that of linear broadcasting. However, as there are some concerns in the investor community, what's the message that you want to send to the stakeholders?
If you look at the draft recommendations of the bill, the content evaluation committee is a crucial aspect of it. This committee extends its oversight not only to OTT platforms but also to broadcasters, entertainment channels, and radio programs. We believe its significance lies in addressing the current scenario where self-regulation is predominant. While platforms and channels are self-regulating, there's a need for a content regulation committee to ensure appropriateness for different age groups, be it a nine-year-old, a seven-year-old, a 16-year-old, or a general audience.
This committee acts as a checkpoint, evaluating the content before it reaches the public. Despite ongoing self-regulation efforts, complaints do arise, especially concerning content quality. The second tier, (of the existing three-tier grievance mechanism) will now be empowered by legal status, gaining the authority to impose fines and request the removal of content. These provisions hopefully will contribute to a more robust system than the current one and lead to an improvement in the overall quality of programming.
On the content regulation on OTT we understand the three-tier grievance redressal mechanism implemented under the IT Rules 2021 has been efficient enough to handle complaints and only a handful of complaints reached the third tier in the past few months. However, there have been advisories on obscene content still available on some OTT platforms. What do you think is the way forward to strengthen the self-regulatory model for the OTT industry?
The programme code and advertising code serve as guidelines for proper programming, and it's important not to exceed those boundaries. Prescriptive measures should be avoided. However, advisory recommendations become crucial in specific situations, such as instances of violence like the Manpur incident. In such cases, it is essential to refrain from displaying explicit content that could incite further violence, like scenes of dead bodies or killings.
Certain content, especially involving violence against children or women, should be avoided. It may lead to higher TRP ratings but is not suitable for ethical broadcasting. This is why we are advocating for content evaluation committees, as they can act as a self-check mechanism.
In the proposed bill, we suggest the establishment of a Broadcast Advisory Council at the Ministry level as well. This council would consist of external members, ensuring a more comprehensive perspective. We acknowledge previous criticisms that the ministry-level decision-making involves joint secretaries. Although they represent outsiders, the proposed council would be more inclusive and broad-based.
There are ongoing debates on the fair share of revenue between the Big Techs and the digital news publishers here in India. What is MIB doing to ensure fair sharing of revenue which will enable the growth of the industry in the long term?
We have engaged in discussions with news publishers and intermediaries regarding the prevailing issue. Solutions implemented in countries like Australia, the EU, and Canada have been considered, and similar discussions are underway in our context. Currently, there are ongoing cases and investigations, particularly under the Competition Commission. There are two ways to go about it, we can either wait for the Competition Commission to formulate regulations or develop our own act independently. These deliberations are ongoing.
What would be the three top focus areas for the Ministry for the rest of the fiscal?
We are actively engaged in several initiatives, including the development of the broadcasting bill and revising FM guidelines. We want to conduct the next round of auctions for FM after making some changes. TRAI has come up with some recommendations for DTH, we are working on that as well. Additionally, we are progressing with the AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) policy, which is currently undergoing inter-ministerial consultation. The National Center for Excellence of EVGC is in an advanced stage of development. We are committed to enhancing incentives to support industry growth. These changes are carefully designed to be industry-friendly and aligned with our goal of fostering a conducive environment for sustainable growth.

Historically, the evangelical colleges that comprise the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities have not been magnets for many black students. A new analysis from The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education suggests that’s changing, with some Protestant colleges recording staggering increases in black student enrollments over the last decade.
At Montreat College, in North Carolina, undergraduate black student enrollment increased from 3.7 percent in 1997 to 23 percent in 2007, according to the analysis. At Belhaven College, in Mississippi, black student enrollment climbed from 16.9 to 41 percent. At LeTourneau University, in Texas, the figure grew from 5.7 to 22 percent.
Overall, the analysis finds that the number of CCCU colleges where black enrollments are at 10 percent or higher has more than tripled to 29 over the last 10 years -- even as a core group of 22 Christian colleges maintain black enrollments of 2 percent or less (a decrease, however, from 33 such colleges in 1997).
The analysis is based on U.S. Department of Education data for 100 CCCU colleges. (CCCU has 110 member colleges in total. The journal’s managing editor said the publication included only colleges for which they had data in both 1997 and 2007.)
“The significance of the study is that many of these schools that had very few if any black students now welcome them and in many cases recruit them,” Robert Bruce Slater, managing editor of The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, said via e-mail.
“Many of these colleges are very conservative and there was probably little outreach to the black community," Slater continued. "For black students interested in Christian colleges, there are a number of historically black colleges and universities that maintain affiliations with various churches. Black students may have felt far more welcome on these campuses than they would on the campus of a predominantly white Christian college.”
“I think now many of the Christian colleges see the value in diversity to the educational process. Also they know that in the real world their students will be dealing with an increasingly diverse society.”
'A Cumulative Process'
In interviews, Christian college administrators attribute the increases to conscious efforts to diversify their campuses, including through connections with black churches and through the establishment of new programs that disproportionately attract minority students.
“We have opened campuses in Memphis and in Orlando and in Houston. By doing that and by offering adult accelerated programs and graduate programs, I think that broadens our demographic,” said Roger Parrott, president of Belhaven College. He explained that the proportion of black students in the college's traditional undergraduate population in Jackson varies between 28 and 32 percent, with adult programs skewing the overall figure to the 41 percent mark.
“I would suggest that part of the trend you’re seeing among Christian colleges is their service to the adult population,” Parrott said. “A lot of our campuses go into cities and have a real commitment to serve the city and serve a diverse population.”
“At the same time, even in the traditional program, we’re very purposeful about it,” he said. “It’s an every day, every decision, every step we take kind of thing.”
In speaking of the challenges CCCU colleges face in attracting black students, Paul R. Corts, the association’s president, cited location (“some of our schools are more rural or more small town”) and the diversity, or, in some cases, lack thereof, of various denominations that colleges may be affiliated with or draw from. (Consider, for instance, Michigan's Calvin College, in the news over a conflict between diversity and identity earlier this year. It's tied to the Dutch-rooted Christian Reformed Church.)
Over the past decade or so, CCCU as an organization has placed an emphasis on enhancing diversity on its member campuses, through the creation, for instance, of a Commission for Advancing Intercultural Competencies and the sponsorship of related workshops. Since 2000, the association has offered an annual award for “advancing racial harmony.”
“Seeing that there are more black students enrolled is only part of the picture because one of the reasons you get more black students is because you’ve been making your campus more welcoming to blacks and other minorities as well,” Corts said.
"It was sort of a cumulative process," said David Turk, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Nyack College, where black student enrollment climbed from 13.3 percent in 1997 to 33 percent in 2007, according to the journal's analysis.
"We began a campus in New York City, in lower Manhattan, and almost immediately that campus was about 45 percent African American,” said Turk. Through the New York City campus, which grew to 1,300 students, Nyack developed relationships with African-American churches in Queens, and started attracting more black students to its traditional suburban campus.
Significantly, in the last 10 years, the proportion of full-time faculty who are non-white grew to 40 percent, Turk said, helping to create a comfortable setting for minority students. (By contrast, many other Christian colleges struggle with recruiting minority faculty, because of location and competition in hiring.)
“The other trend we’ve now seen is that African-American students no longer exclusively come from New York City. They come from all over the country now that they've heard about Nyack."
However, six-year graduation rates, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education, are higher for white than black students at both Belhaven and Nyack (38 versus 16 percent at Belhaven, and 51 versus 34 percent at Nyack). Administrators attribute the disparities to high minority enrollments at the city-based commuter or adult programs, with graduation rates, they said, being roughly consistent across racial lines within the traditional student body.
Other Christian colleges recording large increases in black enrollments from 1997 to 2007 include Warner Southern College, in Florida (from 12.2 to 21 percent), Eastern University, in Pennsylvania (from 9.7 to 17 percent), Palm Beach Atlantic University, in Florida (from 6.4 to 16 percent), Eastern Nazarene College, in Massachusetts (from 4.9 to 15 percent), and Indiana Wesleyan University (from 7 to 13 percent).
The journal’s analysis found that one CCCU college, Crichton College, in Tennessee, is majority black, at 53 percent.
On the other extreme, the nine colleges with black enrollment at 1 percent or less in 2007, according to the analysis, are Calvin, Northwest Christian, Northwestern and Dordt Colleges; Huntington, George Fox, Northwest Nazarene, and Colorado Christian Universities; and the College of the Ozarks.

AN ILKESTON family are fundraising for a charity that helped their baby daughter when she was diagnosed with brachycephaly – flat head syndrome.
Kerry Robinson found out that three-month-old Kensey had the syndrome when she asked a nurse to look at her while she attended a specialist appointment with Kensey’s 21-month-old sister, Lexi, who also suffers with the problem.
The condition occurs because babies are born with a soft skull, and when they lay on their backs it can lead to a flat patch forming. Then, if their skulls start to harden while the head is still flat it can remain permanently.
Wearing a special helmet helps to round the head and support the skull so as the bone hardens, the skull grows and forms in the normal way.
The symptoms were spotted when Kensey was just four weeks old and was diagnosed as a severe case when she was 11 weeks.
The girls’ mum, Kerry Robinson, said: “Because Lexi had the same thing I knew how to spot it with Kensey.
“We’ve had her sleeping on a special mattress and been using a baby carrier instead of puschair so she’s not always on her back but we wanted to get her the helmet as soon as possible, that way she won’t have to wear it for as long.”
The special helmets are recommended by Technology in Motion, the centre in Leeds where the girls are attending for treatment, cost £1,950 each and are not available on the NHS.
The centre told Kerry about Tree of Hope, a children’s charity which paid for the helmet for Kensey.
She said: “We just want to give something back to them after what they have done for us.”
Kerry and her husband James also have two sons, Jamie, ten, and Alfie, seven.
Jamie also had similar symptoms as a baby but fully recovered.
Kerry added: “Jamie didn’t need to wear a helmet as his just cleared up and went away.
“Because of what happened to him and what doctors were saying we didn’t think Lexi would need any treatment until she was getting older and her skull wasn’t growing roundly.
“She will have to wear her helmet for longer but will be fine.”

This is what I listen to when I want to feel badass.
Haha - seriously though, Sleigh Bells is not everyone’s cup of tea. That much guitar distortion should be illegal!
It’s the kind of music that either makes you want to turn up loud and dance stupidly to, or cover your eyes and wince in pain.
I love it… but not in large doses.
In the past they were seen as somewhat of a fashion faux pas.
I mean, a skirt that sits between the knee and the calf? Can you think of a more awkward length?!
However, these little underdogs seem to have stood the test of time and when styled correctly can go from an awkward little garment to outfit perfection.
Still not convinced?
Now that you’re inspired, head over to bluebicycle to see our newest midi skirt additions!
So this is the new year… hello and welcome, 2012!
This year I plan to:
- meet new friends
- spend more time with current friends
- continue to grow my vintage store
- bake more often, and more adventurously
- learn the art of calligraphy
- teach myself to play keyboard
- make the most of every moment!
How about you?
What are YOU doing New Year’s Eve?
I love this cute collaboration between ’500 Days of Summer’ stars Zooey Deschanel (yes, again) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and how it pokes fun at the hype and huge expectations we build up the night the year ends.
Come on, try as we might, we ALL do it.
I think the most important thing to remember on New Year’s Eve - wherever you are, whatever you’re doing – is to be with the people you love most: the family that make you feel loved, the friends that enrich your life and make you laugh, and you’ll have a great time whatever happens.
Tired of Christmas already?
Here’s something that might cheer you up: from 9am tomorrow (Boxing Day), you can take 20% off anything in the store!
Just enter the coupon code “BOXINGBICYCLE” when making a purchase.
This sale is for tomorrow only, so be quick!
It’s Friday … and it’s two more sleeps until Christmas!
Even more reason to dance!
This is my favourite Christmas carol, and let’s face it, no-one quite does it like Mariah Carey.
And how festively cheesy is the video clip?!
Enjoy – and have a lovely Christmas full of joy, love, laughs and of course, lots of good food!

MOSCOW, March 26. /ITAR-TASS/. The level of Russian electoral support to incumbent Russian President Vladimir Putin has reached the figures of the country’s presidential elections in 2004 for the first time, the presidential rating peak is caused by his responsible actions in view of current crisis in Ukraine, political experts told Itar-Tass in comments on the Public Opinion Fund (FOM) survey results made public on Wednesday.
The FOM sociological survey conducted on March 23 showed that 64% of Russians would vote for Putin, if presidential elections were held next Sunday. Sociologists polled three thousand respondents in 64 Russian constituent entities.
If projecting the FOM survey results onto “a real electoral process”, Putin “would gain 84-85% of votes” next Sunday and would win an landslide victory in the first round of elections, the deputy dean of the faculty of applied political studies of the Higher School of Economics and a member of the Russian Presidential Council on Civil Society and Human Rights, Leonid Polyakov, believes.
“Therefore, Putin is about to reach the same figures that he had at presidential elections running for his second term of presidency in 2004. So, Putin is getting back to his historical maximum, the peak of his electoral support ten years later,” Polyakov said.
In his view, high backing to the president was explained by the fact that Russian society was obviously consolidating, as people understood that Putin was a strong leader in view of the presidential address over Crimea delivered in the previous week.
“As Ukrainian current situation is far from being settled, I believe that Putin has reached a stable level in his electoral rating that will be keeping at this level for a few months,” Polyakov noted.
“Russian citizens appreciated the presidential address and his personal responsibility for current situation in Crimea,” the president of the Centre of Strategic Communications, Dmitry Abzalov, said.
In his view, if presidential elections were held next Sunday Putin would gain 85-87% of votes.
“Current presidential electoral rating (64%) is getting closely to the 2004 level, when presidential elections were held and his electoral rating stood at 65%. This is a very good indicator, as politicians usually cannot regain such high figures,” Abzalov noted.
He also believed that the level of electoral support to Putin would be keeping at this level all this spring.

Just a year or two after he had left The Prisoner behind, Jeanne Sakol went on the trail of Patrick McGoohan and found him in Norway, already on the quest of filming Brand, his lifetime’s McGuffin. In the course of the interview he said to her:
“I have a virile hope for the future. That’s why I did The Prisoner …. an allegory … a fable … a protest against regimentation and loss of individuality. We must not become puppets ………………... Ultimately, each of us must live within ourselves, and I’m just an idiot like the rest of the crowd.”
An allegory? In these modern times the allegorical nature of The Prisoner is often referred to. Allegories have frequently been used to represent political and historical situations and are popular vehicles for satire. They are often written as fables, wherein particular characters are representative of any one of us, perhaps in differing ways. Their perceived message can often vary between individuals, even though the fable is addressing a universal aspect.
In McGoohan’s own lifetime he had seen the Cold War heat up after WW2, flare into flames in the 1950’s, burn with frightening ferocity at the start of the 1960’s, as the Cuban Missile Crisis made both sides of the conflict realise what this war might lead to – then, in response to that universal fear – cool down. McGoohan’s own career was shaped by that same Cold War. His increasing popularity with the public throughout the world, as Danger Man, had made him a huge asset to Lew Grade and so McGoohan garnered a power. What was he to do with it? Patrick McGoohan used the world of secret agency to describe his own real world. He sought to allegorise the Cold War.
The biggest effect of the Cold War was the increasing fragmentation of the human world. Politics were split: People were Communist or Capitalist. Countries became split by those very politics. The cumulative knowledge of the Cold War far exceeds any notions I may have of it, but this table crops up on one website to neatly sum up some key differences. These are the some of the same issues The Prisoner grapples with. However rather than make a partisan show, McGoohan began to blur which side was which and question whether some of the attributes were in fact mutual ? Was it really so simple as the chart would have us believe?
West Berlin became like a velvet prison for its inhabitants. They were free, but how far could they go in any one direction? Less than 20 miles. The East Berliners were perceived by the West as being in a Police State but they could leave their Berlin and travel. There were no walls to keep them in. The paradoxes of Berlin exercised the mind of the whole world and then in 1963 the American President stood in the centre of Berlin, the village in the centre of the DDR and spoke the words that captured the imagination of the whole Western world at the time:
Five months later John Kennedy was assassinated and the attitudes of the western world began to change. Conspiracy Theories began to escalate. Who was to be trusted? How could you know who to trust? Whose side were “They” really on?
Q ... Was there a feeling of vulnerability living in Berlin then, as it went on?
A…. I think we got quickly used to it, we West Berliners. What I noticed, talking to West Germans - they were paranoiac, you know, they expected that everyone in Berlin was a sort of spy. I remember once going to the theatre, and I was sitting next to a student who came from Stuttgart, and we had a quite nice chat about this play, and suddenly he said to me, "I mustn't talk to you - you might be a spy for the East!" And I just sort of stared at him - I thought, "They are very ignorant." And there was this distinct "them and us". http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/coldwar/interviews/episode-9/hosseni3.html
The initials DDR stood for Deutsche Demokratische Republik. Democratic. It was a world of rigged elections and slogans:
Stories of the true nature of the DDR were always leaking out to those in the west of course, as TIME noted in 1961:
Under a new decree, hundreds of East Germans were being snatched up and "resettled" in small isolated towns in the interior for "work education." Reason: they were suspected of planning to escape to the West or of encouraging others to do so. Hordes of uniformed "Free German Youth" youngsters were sent out to inspect every East German's rooftop television and F.M. aerial, tear down those that were pointed toward the stations of West Berlin or West Germany. "Anyone listening to Western radio or television broadcasts is a traitor!" cried an editorial in Leipzig's Sächsische Zeitung.
Calling for greater factory production last week, the regime announced a new slogan:
"More production in the same time for the same money."
At dinner in a private home, a wife anxiously discussed the letter she got that morning from Communist Party headquarters, inviting her to attend a lecture on world politics. Should she go? The debate occupied the entire meal. "If you do not attend, we'll have a party official here tomorrow morning asking why. and it will get us in trouble'' decided her husband.
So, I can feel my reader asking, is Moor Larkin saying that Patrick McGoohan made a show about Berlin? Not exactly is my answer; but he was making a show about the world as he saw it then, the world as he feared it developing. People had made Berlin, just as it was People who were making his country of Britain, just as it was People who had created the Cuban Crisis and People who had assassinated Kennedy.
Patrick McGoohan demonstrated a certain contempt for party politics in his first solo script written for The Prisoner (Free for All). Interestingly this episode was one of the four not shown in W. Germany in 1969. It seems obvious that what Patrick McGoohan would take from the strange predicament of Berlin was not the capital-P Politics but instead the small-p politics of the people in the predicament. Was The Prisoner about Berlin? Obviously not, or he would have simply said so. Was Aesop writing about hares and toroises? Obviously not. Like Aesop, Patrick McGoohan was allegorising the way human beings behaved throughout history via a Fable - a Cold war mystery. The notions of Butlins Holiday camps in Wales, Commando war training camps in Scotland, or Spy Towns in Russia all pale into insignificance compared to the predicament of Everyman in Berlin. Nobody in 1960's Britain or America could fail to see the parallels and McGoohan was noted in biographical articles at the time as being an admirer of President Kennedy - as almost every man, and woman, was, in the western world, at the time.
The reductionism of fans picking and choosing about this origin and that origin and claiming that the minutest obscure detail somehow makes the true meaning of the Series clearer, or explained, is to entirely negate and overlook the bigger, over-arching narrative that McGoohan attempted with his story. It was a narrative that only he grasped from the beginning and even unto the end a narrative only he knew how to pursue; a narrative that left the inexperienced or the inept floundering. It was a narrative that was all about the cleverest detail and subtle nuance of double meaning but simultaneously about the epic scale of human folly. It was about how helpless the individual is in the grip of that folly. After all, if the almost super-human Number Six could not alone set himself free, how should any one of us presume to that ambition? His cleverness was to tell us this story in such a way however, that as individuals we are encouraged to believe that if each individual looks to himself, maybe it is possible somehow, if we never give up, if we never give in, if we look ourselves in the eye and rather than despairing of our futility in the face of Authority, we resolve instead to choose never to surrender ourself to it, then, perhaps, we are free after all.
It was 1960’s Berlin, which gave him this epic template for his allegory of Human Society. He lived to see 1990's Berlin prove his implicit faith and optimism in the human spirit. They came together. They escaped. They celebrated.
But also, just as he pointed out at the very end of his own series - the struggle began all over again. However he left us with the abiding image that it is the individual who is in the driving seat !!
Für Kiffer, Kalte Krieger und konspirativ Veranlagte: Arte zeigt die britische Spionage-Serie "The Prisoner" aus den Sechzigern. Mit seiner systemkritischen Haltung, seiner verrätselten Story und seinem kompromisslosen Erzählstil gilt das Werk zu Recht als Meilenstein der Fernsehgeschichte.

By Betsy Prueter
Many prospective students, while qualified and prepared for college, often do not know how to navigate the deadlines and paperwork requirements necessary to access financial aid applications and admission to a university, argues a recent report from the American Enterprise Institute. These students may enroll in low-quality educational options, fail to graduate or even not apply at all. In fact, research shows that for every 100 students who aspire to a four-year college, just 41 enroll in one. This is due, in part, to barriers students face along the way including failing to file the FAFSA or failing to enroll after they have been accepted to an institution.
The report considers a number of innovative ideas to address the complexity of the college process that go beyond traditional counseling and advising. To appeal to policymakers, the report suggests reforms to help take the most promising (and relatively low-cost) ideas to scale and encourage similar innovation.
The report reviewed current innovation in four phases of the pathway to college.
- College-going aspirations and behaviors: Simple, informational interventions are showing positive results in students’ beliefs about their abilities to go to and be successful in college.
- Examples include having students view a short video explaining the benefits of a college education or providing online tools that help students assess their level of preparedness for college.
- Applying to College: While The College Scorecard does a good job of simplifying information and focusing on a few key elements of the college search and application process, research indicates that being more proactive with information may have a bigger impact.
- For example, sending customized college application packets and fee waivers directly to students’ homes has a significant impact on their chances of applying and being accepted to college.
- Financial Aid Phase: Because four in ten students ruled out colleges based on sticker price alone, the need to help families navigate the financial aid process is especially important.
- Online tools and price calculators can help families compare net prices between and among institutions and hands-on interventions can help families submit the FAFSA at the same time as their tax return, increasing the likelihood of enrolling in college by 25%.
- Matriculation and Retention: Researchers have identified a “summer melt” where 10-20% of students who are accepted and enroll fail to show up on the first day of class, perhaps due to anxiety after receiving the first tuition bill.
- Low-touch (and low-cost) interventions such as text messages with reminders on key steps needed to complete the enrollment process can decrease attrition (read more about this type of intervention here).
- Coaching and advising programs specifically targeting freshmen (including online systems that keep in touch with students via text message and/or email) are showing success in increasing retention, and may soon replace less cost-effective approaches.
The report concludes with identifying barriers in adopting these innovations to scale including the lack of data and transparency on colleges’ performance and outcomes, the difficulty of partnering with the K-12 public school systems and managing its bureaucracy, and the reforms needed to provide incentives to schools to adopt new approaches.

For Dunkin’ Donuts customers in New England “double cup” are over, Boston 25 reports. The “double cup” — a foam cup acting as a sleeve also known as a ‘koosie’ around a cold drink are to be eliminated.
New ads are telling customers, that the “double cup is breaking up.”
Executives at the chain said they’re moving to eliminate its polystyrene cups because foam isn’t sustainable.
Previously reported in the Boston Globe in 2017 an online war broke out over the “double cup.” A customer took to the company’s Facebook page to complain that an employer used a hot cup to insulate an iced coffee in a New England Dunkin’. This led to New England die-hards, the koosie crusaders who swear by the practice to come out swinging. The double-cup habit was started in New England, and has been most common there, so they will be the hardest hit.
Cold drinks are being marketed as “iced, delicious and single.”
The new campaign targets folks in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, for now, as the Associated Press reported.
By December 1, all the region’s stores are to start using paper cups that Dunkin’ said would be more environmentally friendly, as Fox 61 reported.
Foam cups will be eliminated worldwide next year, Dunkin’ said.

Serving Little Elm, Professional Snake Removal Professionals Directory
- Snakes in yard or on property
- Snakes living under home or deck
- Snake in the swimming pool
- Snake inside the home!
- Concern for safety of pets
The best way to control snake populations in Little Elm Texas is to remove potential sources of food and shelter. Clearing yards of refuse piles and frequently mowing grass helps discourage snakes from making their homes in Texas’s residential lawns. Sealing up cracks and gaps along exterior walls with fine mesh or caulk also proves effective. To eliminate potential food sources, take steps to control rodent and insect populations, such as maintaining clean living spaces and storing food in rodent-proof containers. In areas with high native snake populations like Texas, snake-proof fences may be erected to keep the slithery pests away from children in play areas, though enclosing entire yards with snake-proof fencing often proves prohibitively expensive.
In most states, non-venomous snakes are protected from indiscriminate killing. Contact the experienced wildlife professionals in Little Elm to take care of dangerous or problematic snakes, and never handle the heads of freshly killed venomous snakes, as they may still be able to inject venom through a bite reflex which lingers for a short period of time.

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage across the US with no clear end in sight, what has become clear is that the effects of the pandemic will continue to be felt for decades to come. And in the fight against cancer, the effects are already being felt. According to the National Cancer Institute, delays in screenings, diagnoses, and treatment because of the coronavirus pandemic will likely result in thousands of excess cancer deaths in the coming years.
As the leading cause of cancer death in the US, the impact on lung cancer is especially alarming, with a majority of states seeing a notable decline in the number of lung cancer diagnoses. While a decrease in the number of lung cancer diagnoses may sound positive, this decline doesn't mean fewer people are getting lung cancer. Rather, it means more people are living with undiagnosed lung cancer and facing significant delays in treatment. Texas has been particularly hard hit, with lung cancer diagnoses having declined by 45%[i] as of May 2020.
Dr. Debra Patt, Executive Vice President at Texas Oncology, is sharing the alarming decline in lung cancer diagnoses in Texas, the serious implications this can have for patient outcomes and the importance of seeking regular care during COVID-19—especially for those at increased risk for lung cancer.

Kapamilya actress Ryza Cenon finally had the chance to hit back at netizens who seemed carried away by her portrayal of the antagonist Jessie in the hit Kapamilya television series ‘The General’s Daughter’.
As the show is down to its last few weeks, several revelations and plot twists have been revealed, including the true identity of ‘Cinco’ who was later revealed as Gabriela portrayed by Mercedes Cabral.
On Twitter, Ryza responded to netizens who seemingly made the wrong guesses, previously tagging her as ‘Cinco’ before the revelation.
Ryza tweeted: “Oh?? Ano??? Ako nalang lagi kasi pinagbibintangan nyo! Puro nalang ako! 🙄 #TGDCinco”
The actress then responded to netizens’ tweets about the episode as one user wrote: “Ok. Bakit nga kasi gigil na gigil ka kay Rhian #TGDCinco”
Ryza responded: “E bakit gigil na gigil kayo sakin?? Mga lintek kayo! #TGDCinco”
Another netizen wrote: “Langya ka Jessie buong akala ko talaga ikaw si Cinco! Hahahahaha”
Ryza also replied to the Twitter user and wrote: “Langya ka rin napaka judgemental mo!🙄 #TGDCinco”
Ryza then shared a photo of her character and gave her reaction after receiving bashing from viewers and netizens because of her ‘kontrabida’ role.
She wrote in the photo’s caption: “Nabubwisit na ko sayo Jessie ha ginugulo mo na buhay ko! Haaayyay!!🤦🏻♀- R.C.”

Lawley & Klinger(Banglatown)
- latest update rss
- No updates yet.
The corner of Lawley and Klinger is a 100 ft stretch of sidewalk lined by a canopy of trees on one side, and piles of used furniture and yard waste on the other. Sounds great, right? I think I speak for everyone when I say that I’m sick of this garbage!
Lawley is a busy street in the heart of Banglatown. It’s the street kids take to walk to school, its where many of our neighbors wait for shared rides to work, school, or religious studies, and its a major hot spot for dumping. We would like to build a line of planter boxes to occupy this space so that the dump-ers might leave our corner alone! Made from treated lumber and filled with a mix of flowering perennials and annuals as well as herbs and berries, these planters will offer a shady place to perch while waiting for your ride (shade being a rarity in our part of town) in addition to offering pedestrians a bit of protection from cars racing around the corner. Imagine: instead of soggy mattresses and unruly branch piles, this sidewalk could be lined with cannas, lilies, and ranunculus! We’ve spoken with neighbors (who are more than thrilled about the idea), We’ve gathered volunteers, now we need to raise the funds. To make this project a reality, we will need $1,300 to purchases treated lumber, hardware, soil, and plenty of low maintenance plants that will continue to thrive year after year. Any donation can make a difference, whether its $5 or $500. Thank you so much for your help in beautifying our neighborhood!
- Purchase materials and arrange delivery of soil from Detroit Farm and Garden.
- Build planters + prep for installation. (1-2 weeks)
- The Big Day: Clean debris, level off curb, anchor and install planters, fill with soil, plant!
- Maintenance: Watering, weeding, and general maintainance will be shared amongst neighbors.
why we're doing it
For years, the direct access to the Banglatown neighborhood from the Davison Freeway has made it an easy spot from people to come off the highway and toss all manner of garbage in its alleyways and sidewalk strips. Dumping is incredibly demoralizing for neighbors, as garbage accumulates faster than the city can take it away, and many items are too large to move without a crew. This particular corner at Lawley and Klinger has been a problem for many years, with a broken sidewalk and woodsy overhang. Garbage trucks will not pick up trash left there (since it is at the side, rather than the front of a home) and one piece of trash tends to gather others. Permanent planters on the sidewalk meridian where people dump will make it impossible to get the pile of garbage started.
This project serves a second purpose, which is adding to neighborhood’s rich gardening culture through the creation of a commonly-maintained garden space. Many neighbors in Banglatown garden, from Polish residents growing roses to Bengali neighbors planting squash. However, there are no ungated, totally public gardens as of yet in the neighborhood. This is a great opportunity to build relationships between neighbors and knowledge sharing between skilled gardeners and those just starting out over a shared plot. We hope that this can be the first of a few garden islands in our neighborhood, encouraging more public garden plots (rather than just gated gardens) on dumping grounds.
- Lumber: $650
- Hardware: $45
- Soil: $255
- Mulch: $50
- Plants: $300
Sorry, but this project doesn't have any updates yet.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
|Date||30th November 2018|
|Society||Ponteland Repertory Society|
|Venue||The Memorial Hall, Ponteland|
|Type of Production||Pantomime|
|Musical Director||Amy Baker|
|Choreographer||Sarah Chadwick and Bekki Shenfine|
Author: Michael L Avery
Ponteland’s pantomime, this year is the version of Snow White written by John Yates. It follows the traditional story, a fairy tale rather than a traditional panto., with a suitably hissable Queen (Hayley Olsen) who is Snow White’s evil stepmother, a friendly Fairy Godmother (Bekki Shenfine), Seven Dwarfs (well 10 actually!), and a Magic Mirror (Jason Long) which cannot lie. The Queen is assisted by Pick and Snot (yuk!) played amusingly by Jonny Woollett and JPonteland's pantomime, this year, is the version of Snow White written by John Yates. It follows the traditional story, (a fairy tale rather than a pantomime), with a suitably hissable Queen (Hayley Olsen) who is Snow White's evil step-mother, a friendly Fairy Godmother (Bekki Shenfine), Seven Dwarfs (well, ten actually!) and a Magic Mirror (Jason Long which cannot lie. The Queen is assisted by Pick and Snot (yuk!) amusingly played by Jonny Woollett and Joe Costigan, a cowardly and bumbling duo ordered to make Snow White disappear. Fortunately, they are both incompetent and squeamish.
Snow White, beloved of everybody except the Queen, looks much as you might imagine, in her Disneyesque costume with glossy black hair, red lips, winning smile and pleasing voice. She is well played by Zoe Buckthorp, who continues to exhibit the promise shown last year as Tup Tim in The King, which earned her a NODA Performance Award. Philip Browell is the Dame, Betty the Cook. He, together with Pick and Snot, encourage a suitable amount of amused audience participation. In fact, as the dynamic duo leave the stage to work the crowd, one young girl in front of me, enthralled and beaming with laughter, could not take her eyes off them. She wasn’t the only one. I was just praying they wouldn’t identify me or my NODA badge! Leo Emmerson, another past NODA Award winner, adds to their mayhem as The Huntsman.
The Dwarfs, played by youngsters from the Preppies Youth Theatre, are comfortable and confident in their parts. On the Friday evening, they were played by Rilvey Chivers, Becky Conroy, Abi Cuthbertson, Jess Cuthbertson, James Hickie, Matthew Hunter, Jasmine Lever, Amelia Long, Inaya Malik and Evie Patterson. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see the other team of youngsters.
There is a novelty in the form of the Palace Cat (Lily Chalmers) who encourages cries of “catch the cat” from the audience, with an insouciant smile and shake of her tail. Bekki Shenfine is an attractive Fairy Godmother who demurely needed to back off the stage, early on, when a pyrotechnic, which announced her entry, caught fire.
I counted 34 performers and regret not mentioning them all. Together with production crew and musicians, they all contributed to an energetic and enthusiastic production. My back and I did find Act One a little long but, that apart, a most enjoyable evening.
