DISCLAIMER: I don't own Akatsuki no Yona.
"Long long ago, before the first kings came to our lands, it was said that supernatural beings used to dwell upon this land. They were fair creatures, spirits and such, living in forests and rivers and lakes, as the stories said..."
Yona glanced up at her dry nurse, a fair woman in her forties, with a very kind face, and a very warm voice. She has always loved this part of the day, when Nanny would tuck her to bed, telling her stories of old.
"I wish I can see one someday, Nanny," Yona said when her nurse had finished her story. "If ever they were true, I wanted to see one."
Nanny stared at her kindly, as she reached to brush some of her crimson curls behind her ear. "You might see one someday, who knows?"
Yona turned her eyes to the ceiling, remembering something. "Mother said she saw one a long time ago," she said wistfully. If only she had known that Mother would lie on her deathbed so soon...
Nanny leaned to kiss her forehead. Then she stood and said softly, "It's time to sleep now, child. I'll wake you up early tomorrow."
Yona closed her eyes. Tomorrow, Nanny said she would take her to the lake for a picnic.
The next day, Yona awoke with an air of excitement. Her nurse helped her in a pink silk dress, the fabric flowing like a swift waterfall until it reached her knees. To match the color of her eyes, she decorated her hair with a purple hairpin.
Minsoo, one of her personal attendants, waited outside her chamber, carrying baskets of cloths, apples and pies. He was a very young man, only around thirteen, with chestnut hair and emerald eyes.
The lake where they were headed was not far from the castle, only a few miles away. So old and quiet and grey, the ancient oak tress loomed around them, watching them silently as they passed by.
Very few animals greeted them in this part of the woods, only rabbits and squirrels and birds, peering among the tree limbs and roots.
After a time, they arrived at the waterscape. The sweet summer sun gazed at them warmly, sending greetings upon the three creatures.
Yona approached the lake as Minsoo and Nanny rummaged through the baskets, placing a big cloth in the soft grass, setting the simple setup.
Stones and pebbles rested beneath the clear waters – ones that are smooth and round and large.
Far ahead where the lake ended on the other side, the fir trees grew more crowded. Yet the lake was so wide and deep, mysterious and perplexing.
Knowing fully well that the water would be warm on her little toes, Yona stepped into the shallow water.
Summer turned to autumn, autumn turned to winter; winter to spring, spring to summer. And the cycle went on, and the water rose and rose around her ankles.
Ten, eleven, twelve.
Her twelfth birthday arrived in a blink. And then after that...Father took a new wife. Yona wondered if Father loved his new wife. She was young and fair-looking, yet as if made of ice.
And then there were the whispers, always whispering. Her stepmother would give her lord father an heir – where her lady mother had failed. Like a cold steel, it struck her deep.
But she couldn't weep in front of Nanny. She wouldn't let her worry about her, because though they won't tell her the truth, her eyes were not thick with tears to notice that her once cheerful nurse now became thinner and looked so much older...and then there were times when she wouldn't see her at all for days, a hundred excuses thrown her way...
"Something's wrong with you, Nanny," Yona said one evening, when she finally had the chance to see her. "Please tell me the truth…please don't lie to me anymore."
Nanny smiled at her tenderly, yet her eyes gave a different story. For though her lips curled into a tender smile, her eyes were weary, like a soldier who has battled death for a long time now.
Maybe her nurse had ran out of excuses, or maybe she could feel the tide rising now. Either way, she finally admitted to her, "I am sick, my little lady. But you shouldn't worry about me, okay? Because the doctor was doing everything…everything he can to heal me. And I do believe I will be fine soon, because I can feel my strength coming back now."
Yona knew that was a lie – it was the same words they told her when Mother got sick. Even so, she still smiled with all her heart, trying to convince herself that everything will be fine.
That winter, Nanny passed away. She didn't even wait for her thirteenth birthday anymore.
What a fleeting life.
Yona stared at the gloomy sky ahead. Laid before her, the lake was quiet, as if fully aware of her grief. Five months have passed since then, when Nanny had made her promise to live fully, despite the sorrow.
She sat down on the soft grass, wrapping her arms around her knees. Little drops of water now poured from the sky, but she wouldn't move, and instead, she closed her eyes, and let her tears blend with the trickle of the cold rain.
Nanny had promised to ride on a boat with her that spring, just after her thirteenth birthday – but she was gone now, along with her promises.
The heavens must have pitied her, for though she can still hear the raindrops dripping around her, she no longer felt the trickle in her face. Curious, she opened her eyes.
She was startled a bit when she noticed a boy standing beside her, holding out an umbrella over her head. Yona wondered why he would even bother to cover her when her clothes were now damp all over. Even so, she stayed still.
The rain has not lasted long. When the rain has stopped, the boy looked down at her and smiled, saying, "You'll catch a cold if you stay under the rain for a long time." He placed the umbrella on the ground, unfastened his cloak, draped it around her shoulders. "My name's Hak by the way. If you don't mind, may I sit down beside you?"
Yona nodded, trembling slightly from the cold. The cloak was warm on her body, but her clothes inside were wet. She had never seen him before. He looked like a traveler, she presumed. He seemed only a few years older than her though, with hair as black as midnight, wearing a tunic and a trouser the color of the lake.
Somehow, Yona felt safe around him, as if he was an old friend. Perhaps she had met him before, she thought. Somewhere in one of the towns, perhaps?
Far above them the afternoon sun shone brightly, almost as if the sky had not cried only a few minutes ago.
Two little sparrows landed on each of Hak's shoulders, chirping happy notes, sweet to the spirit. Rabbits and squirrels approached them too; so close, like never before...
"This forest likes you," Yona said, almost a whisper. She remembered the times when she was younger, when she would approach them and they would just run away from her.
When she looked at him, he was smiling at her so brightly, she felt her spirits rose as the sparrows flapped their wings and took to the air.
"They like you as well."
A squirrel stepped into her lap, climbed up her shoulder, nuzzled her face. She let out a giggle as its whiskers tickled her cheeks.
"Perhaps they've been just ashamed of you before."
A smile escaped her lips. "Perhaps." They liked her as well, perhaps he was right. She held out her forefinger and a sparrow landed, singing sweet songs to her spirit.
Yona wasn't sure whether time sped its pace, or whether they were just so absorbed in their own little world. When she turned her eyes to the sky, she saw that the sun was now slowly setting, casting long dark shadows of the fir trees ahead.
"You should go now," Hak said, turning to her.
Yona nodded then took off his cloak. Her clothes were dry now. "Thank you for this, Hak," she said as she handed him back his cloak. "And my name's Yona."
"I hope this is not our first and last meeting, Yona. It was nice to meet you."
"It was nice to meet you, too. Good-bye."
Yona took her leave, walking through the wet forest floor, with the sinking sun behind her. She looked back one more time, then saw Hak waving at her, his face warm like summer.
Rabbits and squirrels peered from the trees again, but this time, they looked as if they were smiling at her for the very first time.

Vancouver Coastal Health is warning that cases of mumps are worsening in the region.
41 are now being reported, not just in Whistler where we’ve recently seen cases go up, but also in Squamish, Vancouver and North Vancouver.
Dr. Althea Hayden says typically Mumps starts to spread when someone who’s been travelling to be in contact with others.
“Unfortunately when we have folks who are not fully protected by immunization, then there’s opportunities for mumps to spread.”
“It’s spread by droplets so people can get mumps by kissing, sharing drinks being coughed on by someone with mumps.”
Hayden says people born after January first 1970 should have two vaccine doses to be safe, and says if you’re not sure you’ve had that second booster shot to get one.

Team performances fluctuate from good to awful...
It is very hard to predict which United team will turn up at the moment, after some really good performances and results the team struggled away at Wolves after being outplayed at Arsenal. They were truly awful in the first half of the Caraboa Cup semi final against Manchester City and the 3-1 reverse could have been much worse. Ole Gunnar has to find what makes the team tick, he needs to find the right mix and instill some confidence. There are tough games ahead and the cup games are becoming increasingly important as our league form falters.
Watford horror show and Christmas greetings.
Manchester United, the team who had recently beaten Manchester City (AWAY) and Tottenham Hotspur as well as progressing to the semi finals of the Carabao (League) Cup turned in a truly dreadful performance to lose 2-0 at bottom of the table Watford. It was a very poor performance and one which sums up the club in 2019 - they find it difficult to perform in those matches they should be winning! In matches against stronger teams - City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs they play much better. Until Ole sorts this out we will achieve very little! Anyway Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to United supporters everywhere.
Back to back big wins!
What a difference a week makes! United and all at Old Trafford are feeling very much better about life and the season ahead. after two important and crucial wins against Spurs and Manchester City within a few days of each other. In the midweek premier league tie at Old Trafford United looked sharper than they have for months as Tottenham were brushed aside by 2-1 with Marcus Rashford getting both goals. This was followed by victory on Saturday evening at Manchester City.
Home draw with Aston Villa shows the state of things...
The results this season, apart from the opening day trouncing of Chelsea, have been poor. Ole's record is looking worse than Jose's was when he was asked to leave last season. The youngsters performed ok in the narrow Europa League defeat last week but the club are heading for another poor season in the league and it is even more depressing when you see who is already 22 points ahead of United at the top of the table!
International break and then it all restarts...
After yet another weekend where the international break means no top flight fixtures, United will return to action at Bramall Lane on 24th November to take on impressive Sheffield United. This is followed by a trip to Astana in the Europa League and then two home matches in quick succession against Aston Villa and Spurs before the Manchester derby at the Etihad on 7th December. United are then at home again on General Election Day in the Europa League v AZ Alkmaar.
Things are getting better....
The results are getting better, the latest 3-0 win at Carrow Road over Norwich City followed on the heels of a win away in the Europa League and a well deserved draw with league leaders Liverpool at Old Trafford. Confidence is returning and OGS has hopefully turned the corner. Next up it is Chelsea away in the League Cup on Wednesday - kick off is 8.05pm.
Too good to go down....?
When I was 13 years of age at the end of rhe 1973-74 season Manchester United were relegated after a couple of torrid seasons but only six years after lifting the European Cup and seven years since their last league title. The club had lurched from pillar to post since the retirement of Sir Matt and the drop to the second division was somehow inevitable. The parallels between then and now are being documented across the internet but suffice to say despite winning the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League since Sir Alex's retirement the club have declined in the league and the current season is shaping up poorly. Liverpool and Manchester City are looking infinitely stronger than us at the moment.
Two disappointing 1-1 draws...
Ahead of the Thursday afternoon Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar, Manchester United have had two hugely forgettable home draws against Rochdale in the Caraboa Cup and Arsenal in the Premier League. Neither game set the pulses rating and the opening day excitement following the 4-0 defeat of Chelsea now seems a million miles away. United look like a team who will finish in the middle of the table, the rebuilding work may take some time. The Europa League and the domestic cups probably offer the club their best chance of success this season. The top 4 looks a long way off never mind chasing down Liverpool and Manchester City...
It's looking a bit gloomy at Old Trafford
Manchester United were well beaten at West ham on Sunday and the performance from most of the players was not very good. They lacked spark and drive; they were second best in most departments to West Ham United who were good value for their 2-0 win. The sight of Manchester United fans leaving the away section of the ground before the final whistle spoke volumes, they had seen enough. The scrappy one nil win in the Europa league was hardly uplifting and it seems that the euphoria of the opening day's thrashing of Chelsea has long since evaporated. Ole is at the wheel, but needs to steer the troops in the right diection and get them playing to their abilities as soon as possible.
Pogba's penalty miss crucial in Molineux draw
A Paul Pogba penalty miss cost Manchester United dear, as they shared the spoils with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 1-1 draw at Molineux in Monday evening's televised clash. The game also highlighted how detrimental VAR is proving to the live football experience.

The 2022 GMC Canyon was about to be the next-gen model, but it will be delayed. General Motors is preparing the fans for big changes. The last model of the current generation, arriving as the 2022 YM, will feature only one engine. According to multiple sources, the truck will be available only with a V6. Well, this is not a surprise. Canyon will drop a four-pot unit and diesel mill.
Other changes are minor. The truck will offer several interesting options. The top of the class version is going to be the 2022 GMC Canyon Denali, which we can call the luxury pickup. The AT4 is not going to be as capable as before, if it is not paired with the Duramax powertrain. The new generation is going to bring radical changes and make both Canyon and Chevy Colorado more competitive to other mid-size pickups.
Wide Drivetrain Range Comes to One Choice
Rumors are speaking of cutting two engines from the 2022 GMC Canyon lineup. The base version of the pickup used to get power from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Many mid-size trucks are using this trick to make their models less expensive. But, truckers are usually skipping this one to get a more potent 3.6-liter V6. It makes the power goes up from 180 hp to 308 ponies. Also, the truck can offer 290 lb-ft of torque for the max towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. This was topped by the Canyon Diesel. However, an oil-burner will be paused for the 2022 season. The next-gen vehicle will surely bring it back with 7,700 pounds of hauling potential.
What’s Next After 2022 GMC Canyon?
The new generation of the truck was supposed to debut in 2022, alongside Chevrolet Colorado. But, both General Motors pickups will present the next-gen versions with a small delay. Some crossovers and SUVs were even presented as 2021 YM, but the company had to put the release date on pause. The new version will bring a lot of changes, which means you should skip the 2022 GMC Canyon and wait for the fresh edition.
2022 GMC Canyon Denali
The most exclusive version in the lineup is going to be the Denali with the most advanced features. Highlights of this version are numerous. You will recognize it by the set of 20-inch alloy wheels. The interior is packed with leather upholstery. Infotainment comes with standard Bose audio and wireless charger. Safety is getting a boost from the high-definition cameras.
If you are not after the luxury truck, and you want to improve the off-road performance, there will be the 2022 GMC Canyon AT4. The 4×4 is standard and comes with a unique suspension system. Skidplates are going to protect the underbody parts. 17-inch wheels are wearing all-terrain tires. The AT4 is not all about the performance, but designers are also making the interior more comfortable. Heated seats are there, as well as power driver’s bucket with lumbar support.
2022 GMC Canyon Prices
Unchanged 2022 GMC Canyon will come with the same price tag as the current vehicle. By dropping a four-pot unit, the company gives up on the pickup truck that costs $26,500. A V6 is increasing the price for $1,500.

Usher is a good listener.
We wanted sexy back and he gave it to us.
After fans pleaded with him to go back to the old days of “Nice and Slow” and let go of the techno-pop sound that he embrace for his 2012 album “Looking 4 Myself,” the “Good Kisser” is preparing to grace the stage at the 2014 BET Awards with his James Brown-inspired joint and sexing up the covers of Nylon Guys Magazine. It’s hard to believe that Usher has been doing this music thing for 20 years, but 20 years of ladies swooning over him? That’s not hard to believe at all. Check out the spread, captured by Kenneth Cappello.
Usher’s yet-to-be-titled album is due out sometime in the fall. In the meantime, these should tide you over. His performance on the BET Awards airs June 29.

So this idea has been boiling in my head for a while and I’ve been fleshing it out for a moment, because I don’t feel like going to the extremes with FAAL.
So there it is:
Derrickson. Founded in 1983 by Joseph Derrickson, son of a British mechanic who stayed in France after the war.
Joseph had been tinkering cars for a while with friends, building their own tubular chassis and modding existing engines, until they decided they wanted to actually do that for a living rather than on weekends.
By 1983, the Derrickson name was trademark’d. The plan was to get a contract with a car brand that would let them borrow their engines so they could ultimately build a kit car. If this was the ultimate goal, it was going to take a while to get there.
For the first few years, Derrickson was only an aftermarket parts manuacturers, as the contracts they had with the manufacturers weren’t going further than licensing.
Here’s an example with a
Condimente Nontidonti Contendiente Enemigo S Tourer which is bearing:
- a Derrickson aftermarket grille
- Derrickson wide fenders flares
- Derrickson front bumper with larger grilles and a bigger lip compared to the stock one
- a Derrickson taillight bar
The car is shown on BBW BS wheels which aren’t made by Derrickson.
Here is another example with a Znopresk Zenit, which bears a longer list of mods as it was an official Derrickson show car:
- A complete aftermarket bodykit including front and rear bumper along with wider fender flares similar to those on the Enemigo
- Aftermarket quadruple round headlights
- Aftermarket crystal blinkers and blinker repeaters
- Aftermarket passenger front fender with air intake
- Aftermarket plastic spoiler
- Aftermarket cleared taillights w/ red blinkers and taillight bar
- Aftermarket exhaust tip, which covers unseeable modifications such as:
- full aftermarket single muffler stainless steel exhaust with TIG welded tubular stainless exhaust header
- Double carb conversion kit meant for two original Znopresk carburators
The mod was meant to fit every 1.4-2.0L carburated Zenit engines. Here in the 1.4 with the appropriate carb and ignition tune, it makes 75hp, or 20 more than the stock engine.
This was a summary of the catalog at start, in 1984. Of course more is to come, and I am open for suggestions. x)
Also big thanks to @Mr.Computah and @NormanVauxhall for letting me borrow their cars!

Women have been key in MTS History
It comes as no surprise that in a field predominantly represented by women, there is no shortage of noteworthy female personalities that pepper the history of the MTS. And at a time when we are encouraging more women to step into leadership roles in education overall, looking back on the paths of some of these trailblazers seems particularly appropriate.
Most people will recognize names like Edith Miller and Sybil Shack or even Judy Bradley to bring up a more modern reference, partly because they were all elected president of the Society. They are still part of a historical minority. There have been only 26 female presidents compared with 54 male.
However, women have been active on the provincial executive and local associations, right from the beginning of what was first known as the Manitoba Teachers’ Federation.
Speaking of the inaugural meeting of the MTF where the election of the first executive capped off the historic meeting at the Industrial Bureau on April 22, 1919 , J. W. Chafe wrote in Chalk, Sweat and Cheers, “A New Executive: Enter the Women – If up to this point in the MTF’s founding the initiative had been taken by men, the choosing of a vice-president heralded the role the women teachers were to play. The meeting unanimously elected Miss B. Stewart of Winnipeg. … other members of the executive were to be Miss E. Moore, Winnipeg and Miss Yemen, Souris.”
Barbara Stewart would have been 60 at the time, with a long and distinguished teaching career behind her, and in 1921, Miss Yemen was elected vice-president in turn. The honour of being elected the first female president of The MTF went to Caroline “Carrie” Parkinson in 1935, after having served as secretary from 1932 – 1934. She too would have been about 60 with respect due from years as the first Principal of King George School (1911-1922) and David Livingstone School in Brandon before moving to Winnipeg and teaching at Norwood Collegiate Institute.
Even while MTS welcomed women teachers, they were further encouraged to get involved by discriminatory actions against them because of their gender.
In the 1930s, Aileen Garland was thrust onto the front lines to fight cost cutting measures that would reduce the salaries of female high school teachers and principals before applying an additional percentage to the rest of the staff.
“When I was asked to represent the high school women on the conference committee, I declined because of my obligations to the Little Theatre,” Garland said in an article in The Teacher in 1968. “The next day I met Elizabeth Colwell in Eaton’s notions department and in no uncertain terms she told me that I must accept the nomination. She swept my protests aside, pointing out that the theatre was my hobby but teaching my profession.”
During the war years of the 1940s, women kept The MTS running. Just as many if not more women than men led local associations and steadily stepped into provincial executive positions. That trend, at least within the executive, continued into the 1950s with five female presidents.
Edith Miller (1953-54) is perhaps most well known for her work alongside Doris Hunt who also served on the Provincial Executive as Chairperson of the Pensions Committee and member of Teachers’ Retirement Allowances Fund.
From The Manitoba Teacher,Special 60th Annversary insert in 1979 :
“Having mastered the intricacies of every teachers’ pension scheme in the country and several major industrial schemes as well, she became Canada’s Wonder Woman of teachers’ pensions.
“In 1948, with Miss Miller spearheading the pressure, the Winnipeg school board passed a new pensions bylaw, retaining the service basis. In the same year, the TRAF Act was amended to adopt a similar formula. Thus the way was prepared for the eventual amalgamation of the two plans in 1957. In the interval, Miss Miller headed the campaign for full recognition by both plans of war service, survivor’s allowances and portability.”
Before Sybil Shack took the helm of the society in 1960, she also had served at the local level, on the provincial executive for several years and as vice-president in 1959. She was in good company with other women who served on the executive such as Enid Cousins, Janet More, Aileen Gunter and Elizabeth Redmond. In 1964, Redmond was elected president, but that election preceded a period dominated by men.
In the late ‘60s and into the ‘70s, as issues such as women’s equality and rights were raised in society in general, MTS actually faced a decline in women’s participation. In 1975, International Women’s Year, the number of female elected representatives on provincial executive was at the same level it had been in the 1920s and ‘30s.
In 1966, there was only one woman on provincial executive. Until 1976-77, there were only three at most with the exception of four in 1973. The women of that era included, Dorothy Slaughter, Jean Grant, Donna Feniuk, Shirley Chappell and, not surprisingly, Marilyn Thompson, Linda Asper and Dorothy Young. The latter three all to be president themselves in the next few years.
As though having swung side to side, from one gender to the other, the pendulum had finally come to rest. By the time Young was president in 1981 the number of men and women on the provincial executive was equal. There was even a five-year trend of female presidents that led into the 1990s. Since then, with rare exception, years with male presidents had the lowest number of women on the provincial executive, but having a more even mix with a female president.
The pursuit of equal if not equitable representation of women in the field of education has been fraught with roadblocks and stumbling blocks.
In response, MTS has supported several initiatives over the years aimed at promoting women in leadership roles and examining the causes of under-representation. But while great numbers of women did become members of provincial executive over the decades, staff within the union itself didn’t reflect that fact.
The nameplates on offices within the Society headquarters remained conspicuously masculine until the 1980s.
There were three women in support positions – Miep van Raalte , Eleanor Woloshen and Joyce Parker, but Margaret Bean became the first and only administration level staff person, serving through the 70s as Assistant Director of Professional Development. She later became Co-ordinator of Professional Development in 1977.
When Martha Colquhoun took on the job in 1980, she was still the one and only female in an administration job. It wasn’t until 1982 that Kathy Lautens, Donna Lucas and Mariette Ferre-Collet were hired and a new, modern parity could begin.

The Shoe Tax Beckons
Published: June 21, 1985
The U.S. International Trade Commission, yielding to pressure, recommends quotas that would reduce imports of shoes sharply and drive up their price. President Reagan must now decide whether consumers should finance this remedy, saving American jobs at an annual cost of $50,000 each.
Shoes offer a model study in what's wrong with protectionism, and why it's so hard to stop.
Manufacturing inexpensive shoes requires only simple machinery and abundant low-cost labor. That is why Brazil, South Korea, Taiwan and other low-wage countries produce most of the shoes sold in the United States. Their competition has forced American manufacturers to retrench, closing two-thirds of their plants in the last 15 years. Many of the remaining plants are profitable only because they produce high-quality shoes, whose style is more important than price and whose main competition comes from high-cost factories in Europe.
Competition ought to determine the future of the industry, allowing smarter, more flexible domestic producers to find their niche in a market dominated by low-cost third-world producers. Indeed, the growth of the American economy depends on its gradual shift from low-wage, labor-intensive to high-wage, high-productivity industries that can sustain rising living standards.
What's good for most Americans, of course, isn't necessarily good for those who own or work in shoe factories. Of the remaining U.S. producers, the most marginal couldn't possibly survive open world competition. Even the most productive would benefit from protection. From the Carter Administration they got temporary quotas on imports from Taiwan and Korea, briefly halting the industry's decline. To the shoe makers' dismay, President Reagan chose to interpret ''temporary'' to mean just that; quotas were allowed to lapse in 1981.
Last year the International Trade Commission, an independent Federal agency, denied the shoe makers' petition for import relief, citing the high profitability of the more modern shoe companies. So the industry went back to work the new-fashioned way: lobbying Congress. That changed the commission's mind, and for an obvious reason. The shoe makers speak with a single voice and can point to job losses in 48 states. Thus their influence in politics far exceeds their importance to the economy. The Senate Finance Committee insisted that the Trade Commission reconsider.
This time around the commissioners voted 4 to 1 for a plan that would limit imports to 60 percent of the market, saving an estimated 26,000 jobs. By the reckoning of the one dissenting commissioner, that would cost consumers $1.28 billion a year, three times the wages of those 26,000 workers.
To resist, President Reagan may need more than arguments. Though plainly devoted to free trade, he has already yielded expensive import relief to the clothing, steel and motorcycle industries. A nation benefiting from open trade needs to offer something better than protectionism to workers and communities caught in the tides of industrial change. But that is a policy problem that Washington has never taken seriously.

Local Government reform commitments must be delivered – Stanley
Sinn Féin spokesperson on Environment, Community and Local Government, Brian Stanley TD, has today called on Minister Hogan to implement the Programme for Government’s promise on local government reform.
Speaking from Dublin Castle ahead of the Minster Hogan’s announcement on local government reform, Deputy Stanley said:
“Sinn Féin supports local government reform. We support local government that is accountable, transparent, adequately funded and delivers local services efficiently. Minister Hogan’s local authority reforms should not be a smokescreen for collapsing local authorities, cutting funding and centralising power in the Custom House.
“The minister must fulfil the promise in the Programme for Government: ‘re-organisation of local governance structure to allow for devolution of much greater decision-making to local people’. It will be by this promise that today’s proposals will be judged.
“We intend to be constructive in our engagement with the minister; we welcome positive reforms while actively opposing moves to undermine local democracy.
“We want to see power devolved from government departments to local authorities in matters such as waste management, transport, planning and economic development.
“Sinn Féin will be studying the proposals in detail. We will seek a meeting with Minster Hogan later today to discuss the details and implications of the proposed reforms.
“We have also written to the Ceann Comhairle seeking a Dáil debate this afternoon on the proposed reforms.”

Josh Green | Atlanta Curbed
The movement to create Atlanta Waterworks Park isn’t so grassroots any more. The initiative keeps padding its coffers, holding high-profile fundraisers and now has the public support of Mayor Kasim Reed and top Beltline honchos. Talk of reopening the grounds — a public park for many decades, prior to the Centennial Olympic Games — has been going on for years, but in recent months these more substantive efforts have caught the eye of government officials and local media.
Most recently, Westside Provisions District held a “high-energy fall fashion show” last month and raised $10,000 for the grassroots Friends of Atlanta Waterworks, the group working to make the Westside preserve public-accessible again, according to a spokesperson. That followed another “friendraiser” this year at Monday Night Brewing, which tallied $17,000. Supporters seem to feel the ball could really get rolling in 2015.
Like developers, residents and businesses with vested interests in the area, Reed seems committed to seeing the Waterworks vision play out. He’s selected a team of senior staff to oversee its progress, in fact. According to a press release, “The effort will be led by JoAnn MaCrina, commissioner of the Department of Watershed Management, with support from Parks and Recreation and Atlanta Beltline, Inc. and city council representatives Yolanda Adrean and Andre Dickens who continue to show their support as key role players in these efforts.”
Prior to the Olympics, the Atlanta Waterworks property at 17th Street and Howell Mill Road hosted running races and allowed for leisurely strolls. Concerns of terrorists poisoning Atlanta’s water supply during the Olympics necessitated fences that have encircled the property ever since. Read more

It’s nearly the end of January and there’s a bit of a rush of books by authors I like coming out over the next few weeks. Today it’s Kate Clayborn and Georgie, All Along. You may remember that Kate’s previous books, Love Lettering and Love At First were Book of the Week picks here, so I’m a fan (and there’s more tomorrow on that front). This is about a personal assistant who returns to her home town from her hectic life in LA and has to put herself first for once. I’ve started it – and so far, so good! The Ali Hazelwood blurb on the cover is useful – if you like her, you may well like this although Clayborn’s heroine tend to be less tiny woman and HUGE MAN!
Georgie, All Along is out now in Kindle and Kobo in the UK, the paperback comes out here later in the year but I think in the US you can get it today.

German jockey Frederik Tylicki has been left paralysed from below the waist following a fall in a horrific four-horse pileup earlier this week, the Injured Jockeys Fund revealed.
The 30-year-old, who is based in England and had a breakthrough season, landing two Group One races with filly Speedy Boarding, has been in hospital since the accident in a flat race at Kempton Park, southwest of London, on Monday.
"After his fall at Kempton Park Racecourse earlier this week, Freddy Tylicki was transferred to St George's Hospital in London, where he has since undergone surgery to his spine," said Lisa Hancock, Chief Executive Officer of the IJF.
"His surgical team have confirmed that Freddy has a T7 paralysis, which means he has movement in the upper half of his body but not his lower.
"Freddy remains in intensive care and is not receiving any visitors for the foreseeable future.
"His family would like to thank the St George's staff for the care he has received. As this is a very difficult time for Freddy and his family, they would like to thank everyone for their good wishes, and for continuing to respect their privacy."
Tylicki had been leading on Nellie Deen when they came to grief resulting in newly-crowned champion jockey Jim Crowley being brought down on Electrify, with jockeys Steve Drowne and Ted Durcan also unseated from their mounts.
Crowley was also taken to hospital but was released later on Monday with just a broken nose.
Drowne escaped unscathed while Durcan broke an ankle.
Tylicki, the son of a three-time German champion jockey, was considered the up and coming talent when he won the 2009 Apprentice championship, donating his trophy to the family of a colleague who had been killed in a fire.
He recovered from a serious shoulder injury in 2010 and whilst never hitting the 100-winner-a-year landmark regularly notched up over 50 a season but had to wait till Speedy Boarding won the Prix Jean Romanet in August for his first ever Group One triumph.
She was to go on and win the Prix de l'Opera on Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe day on October 2.

Stocks saw mixed trading after the close Wednesday, and
was among the big after-hours winners.
Shares climbed 3% after the fast-food giant
ratcheted up its annual dividend by 50% to $1.50 a share. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company's stock traded up $1.55 to $52.75 in recent after-hours action.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold
gained ground after agreeing to sell its wire-and-cable business, Phelps Dodge International, to
in a $735 million deal that includes minority interests recently acquired by Freeport. The sale should close in the fourth quarter.
Net proceeds, which Phoenix-based Freeport estimates at some $620 million, are planned for debt repayment. Freeport shares traded up 41 cents significantly after the bell to $91.91. General Cable lately added a penny to $57.03.
Among the losers, however, was
( BRLC). The hi-def television maker's shares plunged 24.1% after
disappointing earnings and personnel news.
The Tempe, Ariz.-based company posted fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of 11 cents a share, a penny short of Thomson Financial's estimates. It also said it expects first-quarter revenue of between $170 million and $180 million -- at least $76.6 million below consensus -- due to a "severe tightening of credit in Asia." The company blames the credit problems for reducing the combined credit availability of its supply-chain partners by over $200 million.
Syntax-Brillian separately announced that CFO Wayne Pratt will resign effective Sept. 30. Shares surrendered $1.48 to $4.65.
dropped, as well, after CFO Jim Raabe said in a conference call that third-quarter per-share earnings are "likely to fall short" of Wall Street's consensus expectation of 27 cents a share. Raabe also said the Minneapolis-based bed maker is "on track to achieve the low-end of
its full-year sales and earnings targets." Shares sank 9.5% to $15.75.

As mentor relationship matures, the learning goes both ways
Posted on July 3, 2018
Educators don’t set out to be mentors. We teach. But there are times a surprising connection is made between teacher and student. Sometimes that turns into a decade, or even a lifetime, of friendship and support, encouragement and life stories. There may be shared Christmas cards or social media posts — a quick note celebrating a life passage, perhaps a Ph.D., a career change. Before long, that teaching relationship has shifted and we’ve fallen into a mentoring relationship that feels an awful lot like friendship.
Mentoring isn’t something we choose; rather, the mentor/mentee relationship chooses us. In the case of Malynnda Johnson ‘06 Ph.D., an assistant professor at Indiana State University and my former student, mentoring has gone to the next level as she becomes a mentor to others.
When Malynnda (who I still fall into calling “Mindy” from those days when I served as Arches advisor and she served as page designer) asked me to be her guest mentor for a panel on mentoring, I was honored.
The panel, entitled “Made a Difference to Me: The Importance of Mentoring in Undergraduate Education,” was a rare opportunity to celebrate the mentoring relationship. But it was also a chance to talk about how these relationships form and shift and change.
Mindy recalled that our mentor relationship began while she was studying to become a graphic designer. She was questioning her major and I convinced her she could design for the newspaper. She was a magnificent designer but also an amazing writer.
She discovered she loved to communicate and do research, and entered UWM as a graduate student to pursue her Ph.D. in communication (despite my best efforts to convince her to go into journalism). I can happily say that I’m thrilled Mindy refused my suggestion because she admits her life has taken her beyond her wildest dreams, passing on her energy, knowledge, and community engagement to other students.
While awaiting publication of her first text on health communication, specifically on health narrative of HIV on television, Mindy has produced multiple book chapters and journal articles. For the past ten years her research has remained bifurcated into the areas of difficult conversations between doctors and patients (including HIV and STD testing, mental health, and death) as well as media portrayals of health. If you ask what drives her, she’ll probably tell you she’s “seeking a world where people are not stigmatized for wanting to protect and value their bodies!”
Mindy is a teacher, advocate and health communication scholar, and she’s making a positive and socially just difference in the world.
Have I mentioned that I’ve learned a lot from her as well?
Ann Angel ’75 is an author and professor in Mount Mary’s graduate English program. She and Malynnda spoke about their mentoring relationship at the Central States Communication Association Conference this spring.

Jim Drouillard, professor of animal sciences and industry at Kansas State University, has come up with a way to help livestock producers stimulate growth of cattle and horses.
A patent has been granted for a feed supplement developed by Drouillard, according to a news release from K-State.
The supplement "stimulates the growth, health and reproductive functions of cattle, bulls and other livestock," according to the release. It's comprised of "molasses, oilseeds and oilseed extracts that when heated and evaporated, formed a substance that improves absorption of specific omega-3 fatty acids," the release said.
"It’s put in the pasture and the animals consume it whenever they want," Drouillard said in a statement. "The product’s physical characteristics restrict the animals to consuming less than a pound each day, making it a convenient and cost effective way to deliver essential nutrients."
The substance contains fats that elevate levels of specific omega-3 fatty acids in the bloodstream. The increases in omega-3 fatty acids can stimulate growth, improve immunity, according to the release.
New Generation Feeds, a South Dakota-based company, has retained exclusive rights to the patented technology for use in its SmartLic brand of livestock supplements.

Los Angeles traffic is so bad that buses crawl at speeds of less than 12 mph. In San Francisco, car speeds have fallen to 10 mph. And Seattle’s streets are so choked it needs to find ways to have fewer cars altogether.
Major cities across the United States are facing increasingly clogged roads and have had frustratingly little success in dealing with them. But now that New York has adopted congestion pricing in Manhattan, the rest of the country is far more likely to seriously consider embracing such a policy — even though it was once considered politically toxic, according to municipal officials and transportation analysts.
“New York’s use of congestion pricing could be a game-changer,” said Travis Brouwer, an assistant transportation director in Oregon, which has considered congestion pricing for traffic-jammed Portland.
“If New York City can prove that congestion pricing can work and gain public acceptance, it could give cities like Portland a boost as we look to introduce pricing.”
Philadelphia is now considering congestion pricing for the first time, in part because of New York’s move, “to see how this can help improve equity, safety, sustainability, and mobility,” said Kelly Cofrancisco, a spokeswoman for Philadelphia’s mayor, Jim Kenney.
New York, the country’s largest city, will charge drivers to enter Manhattan’s most congested neighborhoods as a way to raise more money for public transit and to persuade people to abandon their cars.
Los Angeles and San Francisco are already conducting studies to lay the groundwork for congestion pricing, and Seattle’s mayor, Jenny Durkan, is leading efforts to have congestion pricing in place by the end of her first term in 2021.
“It really does help to be able to point to some peer city and say ‘They’re doing this and it’s working,’” said Michael Manville, an associate professor of urban planning at The University of California, Los Angeles, who has advised Los Angeles on congestion pricing. “At the very least, it changes the conversation in other cities.”
Not everyone is a fan. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has long opposed congestion pricing because of concerns it could hurt local businesses, but it is re-examining that position as traffic has worsened. In a recent poll of 500 San Francisco voters, sponsored by the chamber, 65 percent said they opposed a $3 to $6 congestion fee to drive downtown.
A handful of cities in Europe and Asia already have congestion pricing in place; it has helped clear roads in London, Stockholm and Singapore. But it has also been assailed by drivers and critics as an unfair tax that hurts the poor.
Fueled by an economic boom, a revival of urban areas, a proliferation of Uber and Lyft cars and an explosive growth in package deliveries propelled by the rise of Amazon, the average speed in urban downtowns fell to 15 mph last year from 18 mph in 2015, according to INRIX, a transportation analytics company.
“I believe the time has finally arrived to explore congestion relief pricing in major cities,” said Phil Washington, the chief executive of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “Here in Los Angeles, our congestion challenges are just as bad, if not worse, than Manhattan’s.”
He added, “We cannot sit idly by and watch it get worse.”
In New York, many details of a congestion pricing plan — including how much drivers will be charged — are still being worked out. The plan was the culmination of a campaign that started 18 months ago and drew transit groups as well as prominent business, civic and labor leaders, who saw no other way to tackle gridlock.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo staked his name on it and wielded his political power to push it forward, making it a centerpiece of the $175 billion state budget after past efforts had unraveled. Even Mayor Bill de Blasio, who had been lukewarm about congestion pricing and has had a frosty relationship with the governor, threw his support behind it. They had made the case that it was crucial for raising the money needed to modernize the city’s crumbling subway system.
And transit officials, facing a growing financial crisis, warned repeatedly that the alternative would be huge fare increases.
Congestion pricing’s moment follows decades of failed efforts to unclog roads around the country. Historically, cities responded to congestion by building more roads or widening existing ones — only to find that those, too, became jammed, said Matthew Turner, an economics professor at Brown University.
As a result, America’s roads are carrying more traffic than ever. The number of people driving to work climbed to about 130 million in 2017, up from 121 million in 2012, according to an analysis of census data by Social Explorer, a research company. Of those, more than 116 million drove alone, and only 14 million car-pooled. Just 8 million workers took public transportation.
The increasing traffic has been accompanied by concerns over health, safety and environmental implications. The number of pedestrians killed in traffic in the United States is approaching a three-decade high.
Traffic woes have emerged as the underside of booming cities that attract new residents, businesses and construction. More than two dozen major U.S. cities, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, have more congestion now than a decade ago, according to an annual global traffic scorecard by INRIX.
The most recent scorecard found that congestion left U.S. drivers sitting in traffic an average of 97 hours last year, up from 82 hours in 2015. That, in turn, cost the economy roughly $87 billion in lost productivity last year, up from $74 billion in 2015, according to INRIX.
“It only takes one car that doesn’t get through an intersection to block two lanes of traffic,” said Trevor Reed, an INRIX transportation analyst.
In Seattle, Amazon’s relentless rise has helped turn the city into a major tech hub. Now, major infrastructure and development projects are expected to lead to even more gridlock.
“As we build a city of the future, we must reduce our reliance on cars,” Durkan said. “My goal is to make our downtown core a healthier place for all with fewer cars, a more equitable transportation system and less climate pollution.”
Road pricing has been used on some U.S. highways since the 1990s, with tolled express lanes — or so-called Lexus lanes — built alongside regular lanes, offering a faster alternative to drivers who are willing to pay for it.
Cities are trying to figure out how to make it work on streets. “There’s a critical mass forming where people are saying, ‘enough is enough,’” said Stuart Cohen, the founding director of TransForm, a California-based group that released a recent report on congestion pricing. “They’ve tried everything else and nothing’s working.”
Still, Charles Komanoff, an economist, said the idea of “putting a price on driving” clashes with America’s car-loving culture in which driving wherever the road may lead is often seen as the ultimate freedom. He compared pushing congestion pricing to “shooting a rocket to the moon.” “There’s so much gravity — the forces opposing this are so powerful — it almost seems like defying nature,” he said.
Oregon looked at congestion pricing in 2005, but “our traffic wasn’t that bad, so people weren’t willing to pay a toll to escape it,” Brouwer said. But Portland has been gripped by congestion as Amazon and others have opened offices. State officials are seeking federal approval for what would be the state’s first highway tolls on a 7-mile stretch through Portland.
Congestion pricing has also been seen as a burden on poor drivers, many of whom have been displaced from downtown areas or cities by rising housing costs and now must drive to work because of minimal access to public transit.
“Social equity was the conversation stopper when it came to congestion pricing,” Cohen said. “In West Coast cities, equity is very high on the political agenda.”
But Cohen said gridlock also slows down the bus and transit services many poor people depend on. Congestion fees, he added, can be discounted or subsidized for poor drivers.
In Los Angeles, public buses traveled at an average of 11.8 mph last year, down from 12.2 mph in 2013, according to transit data. Washington said he wants to use the congestion fees to pay for transit improvements and to cover fares so that everyone can ride free.
A spokeswoman for Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles said he supports looking at congestion pricing “because it has the promise to dramatically reduce traffic and improve quality of life.”
Still, congestion pricing remains a tough sell. After a recent report released by Boston leaders and educators recommended charging $5 to drive in some neighborhoods, Boston’s mayor’s office said the city would not be implementing congestion pricing.
In New York, drivers would be charged for entering Manhattan below 60th Street, where the average speed for vehicles is down to 4.7 mph, from 6.9 mph in 1994.
John Corlett, a lobbyist for AAA in New York, said the new fees could cause gridlock to shift to other parts of the city if drivers drove around the central business district to avoid tolls. “To say this is going to reduce congestion may be a false hope,” he said.
But Sam Schwartz, one of the architects of congestion pricing in New York, said he had received calls from more than a dozen cities who have followed its progress. “If you can do it in New York, you can do it anywhere,” he said.
San Francisco is considering congestion pricing after trying other options to combat gridlock, including expanded bus and rail service, installing dedicated transit lanes and expanding bike routes, said Tilly Chang, executive director of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, which is leading the city’s congestion pricing effort.
“Everyone agrees there’s a problem,” Chang said. “There are multiple views of the solution. But frankly, we’ve tried a lot of them and they’re not enough.”

Theo Walcott admits last season was a wake-up call and Arsenal forward is finally ready to fulfill potential
- Theo Walcott credits 'mindset change' with upturn in form for Arsenal
- Forward has focused on delivering for himself now, not other people
- Walcott has scored three goals in six appearances for Gunners this term
- Arsene Wenger thinks Walcott's omission from Euro 2016 was motivation
Theo Walcott insists that he is finally on the right track to fulfil his ‘boy wonder’ tag.
The Arsenal star was tipped for greatness after bursting on to the scene for Southampton as a 16-year-old in 2005. Less than 12 months later, Walcott had moved to Arsenal and was named in the England squad for the World Cup.
Arsene Wenger believes the disappointment of being left out of England’s Euro 2016 squad has played a key role in giving him renewed vigour this season — a timely kick up the backside, according to the manager.
Theo Walcott believes the penny has finally dropped and he is ready to fulfill his potential
The Arsenal forward is in fine form and has scored three times in six appearances this term
Walcott’s three goals in six Arsenal appearances suggest the 27-year-old is on the right track.
‘Where did my change in mindset come from? It probably was from myself,’ said Walcott. ‘I found it difficult last year, coming towards the end of the season I didn’t get opportunities but I was still working hard. It is probably from then, I spoke to many people and it maybe woke up something in my system. I am completely different.
‘I just want to be better and better, people have had so much faith in me and you never give up. I tend to think I need to repay people, but I also think I need to do it for myself now. Maybe in the past I was thinking about others and not myself.
Arsene Wenger believes Walcott's omission from Euro 2016 has motivated his player
‘I am enjoying life and enjoying football. There are always ups and downs, I have been through many of them but at the moment things are great.’
Walcott is expected to start in the Champions League clash against Basle as the Gunners try to build on the 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain on match-day one.
The forward had quite a start to his career, but did not reach the same heights in the following years. In fact, he even came close to leaving Arsenal in frustration at his lack of game time.
The forward said he is playing for himself now instead of feeling like he owes other people
Walcott starred in his side's derby victory over Chelsea at the Emirates, scoring the second
Similarly, his England career has not gone to plan. Walcott has been to only one tournament — Euro 2012 — since his shock inclusion in 2006. Wenger certainly hopes the new Walcott can continue his team’s revival tonight.
The manager said: ‘Building on the draw in Paris is a big motivation for us because we know there were two favourites at the start —PSG and Arsenal — but it’s not as easy as that.
‘So we have to show that. I think my team is on the way up. It’s important to keep the quality very high in our performance and not to have an unexpected setback.’
