About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal that provides a platform for research, analysis and scholarly debate on social work theory, policy and practice. Published quarterly, it particularly welcomes work offering critical perspectives on contemporary policy developments, indigenous social work, post-colonialism, anti-racism, feminism, and progressive social work theory, policy and practice.
The journal also publishes book reviews and encourages short topical pieces called viewpoints where authors explore and reflect on controversies, ethical issues, or policy and practice developments that are of interest to the social work community.
Each year, one issue of the journal is published as Te Komako focusing on Tangata Whenua social work; and – from time to time – we publish a Tu Mau issue highlighting issues for Pasifika social work.
Peer Review Process
All original articles undergo a rigorous, anonymous peer-review process including screening by the issue editors, refereeing by two anonymous reviewers and the editors’ final decision to publish.
Articles submitted to the viewpoints section are peer reviewed by one editor and one anonymous peer reviewer.
Book reviews are reviewed only by an editor.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Not long ago, we introduced InnerSea Discoveries, an up-close personal adventure experience that just happens to travel on water. The tiny, 2-ship cruise line does what they call an “un-cruise” in Alaska for up to 76 passengers that are about as far away from the big cruise ship experience as you can get and still be floating. Now its time to get to know sister-line American Safari Cruises, also offering a unique adventure experience on water. This time heading to Hawaii. In style.
The darn-near-all-inclusive cruises include all from-the-yacht activities and equipment; transfers; meals; fine wine, premium spirits and microbrews in addition to only the “port charges, taxes and fees” that are included in a big-ship cruise. All American Safari yachts feature a hot tub, Tempur-pedic mattresses, heated tile floors in all bathrooms and upper category balconies. Some also feature saunas, a complimentary massage and Jacuzzi tubs. An all-American crew has a guest-crew ratio of 2 to 1.
“This type of inclusive yacht cruise is a totally new way to vacation in Hawaii” said Tim Jacox, executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We are an exclusive floating resort that cruises between the islands to show you the best of Hawaii. Going ashore with only 36 total guests means cultural experiences are more personal and authentic. And since we provide adventure gear and include activities, it’s 100% fun and relaxation.”
The 36-guest Safari Explorer sails inter-island Hawaiian adventure cruises between Maui and the Big Island (and reverse). From November through April, weeklong Hawaiian Seascapes and 10-night Hawaii’s Traditional Shores itineraries explore Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Molokini and the Big Island.
The 22-guest Safari Quest sails weeklong Aquarium of the World itineraries in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés from November through April. Sailing roundtrip from La Paz, Mexico, the flexible itinerary takes time to seek out the myriad marine life in this World Heritage biosphere reserve and explores Isla Partida, Isla San José, Bahia Agua Verde, Los Islotes, Isla Coyote, Isla San Francisco and Isla Espiritu.
In both warm water destinations, the two yachts feature exciting and novel holiday travel Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day (with a special Hawaii Romance Package), Easter and special Kids in Nature family departures during popular spring break weeks in March.
A relaxed itinerary of cruising from cove-to-cove among islands in Hawaii and the Sea of Cortés maximizes the yachts ability to act as a platform for water based adventures such as kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, swimming from the yacht’s swim step, snorkeling, braving the rope swing, sailing, skiff explorations and tubing. Guided excursions are led by expert on board naturalists.
In both destinations, exclusive cultural explorations ashore are included and led by the yacht’s expedition leaders. Guests in the Sea of Cortés visit Isla Coyote, a small island inhabited by the Cuevas fishing family, where guests will tour the village and visit with the family. On Hawaii’s Molokai, guests meet a local family for guided walks through the valley focusing on history and archaeology, a chance to help restore ancient taro terraces and a traditional Hawaiian paina celebration and feast.

|Reviews for Our Favourite Parts|
| MegaWallflower chapter 1 . 8/29/2011
This was amazing! The characterization was perfect and the moments were captured well! I like that you mentioned Xion, rather than ignore her existence. I also loved how you showed Roxas's and Namine's interactions with others, and their thoughts about the other.
My favorite was free, because it parallels canon and shows how Namine is finally liberated. I also loved 100. I loved them all. You're really amazing.
I'm falling in love with RokuNami all over again. :3 Have I mentioned how skillfully and interestingly this was written. :D

I was so excited when I saw the alert - and even more excited when I saw that it was your 100-themes!
Each one seemed to make the story better and better, always showing a new light. Or using the original plot, but just capturing it in a different way. Really creative and unique; I loved it! :D
I really liked 86 (Haze)...oh, and 52! 9, and of course, 100 ;3
You did a great job on this. I can't wait to see what you write next 8D

Hyundai is recalling around 200 first-generation i30s due to an issue with their airbag inflator.
“The driver’s airbag inflator may rupture in the event of airbag deployment,” the company says in its recall notice.
“In the event of an airbag inflator rupture, compressed gas and metal fragments may be propelled through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death.”
This isn’t related to the Takata airbag recall campaign that has affected myriad brands, as Hyundai hasn’t used Takata as a supplier.
- A total of 213 vehicles are affected from 2010 to 2011
- The VIN list is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to contact your preferred Hyundai dealer to have the airbag module replaced, free of charge.
If you have any further questions, you can contact Hyundai Customer Care on 1800 186 306.

Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera left Tuesday’s game in the fourth inning with a sprained right ankle suffered while coming down after a leaping throw versus the Yankees.
Cabrera was injured in the third, but he stayed in to finish the inning. The Indians opted to remove him in favor of Lonnie Chisenhall when it was his turn to bat in the fourth.
Cabrera, who has 14 homers and 49 RBI this season, is listed as day-to-day.

The American network is aDIY community, a place for people to create and share their projects and creations with other people worldwide. They also offer a paid system called The American Network where you can monetize your online presence.
By paying money to be featured on The American Network, sites and companies can gain exposure to millions of people worldwide. As an added bonus, you can make some cash off of your projects too!
This is a great way to build your reputation as an artist and get paid for your work. Plus, it is very cool to be included in the initial launch of the network as part of the launch celebration.
Projects are all different types: videos, drawings, crafts, etc.
The American Network; The Golden Age of television
During this period, called the Golden Age of Television, there were a ton of great shows that people weren’t watching. Some of these shows are Black-opic, Murder Mystery, Women’s Murder Club, and The Americans.
All of these shows show how entertaining and fun modern television is during this time. All of them are classics that people watch again and again.
These popular shows show how much people loved crime dramas during this time. Many people look back at this time with fondness because of the classic crime dramas they were exposed to.
These kinds of dramas showed teamwork and motivation in their characters which really drove home the suspense and emotion on television at the time.
The American Network; Creating the perfect plotline
When creating a plotline for your story, it is important to consider the different possibilities that your characters have.
Each of your characters must have a reason to stay in their place and pursue happiness in their lives. If one of your characters has a reason to pursue happiness, then they should!
By having more than one possibility for what someone’s happiness might be, you will create more drama and intrigue towards your story. When people read this, they will be intrigued by how things turn out for the two central characters.
Having less possible outcomes will create a sense of closure for the reader and make it more memorable.
Having established the importance of interesting characters in stories, let’s talk about how to make your characters interesting.
First, you must determine what makes your character unique. What makes them fun to read? What makes them frustrating? How do they relate to the rest of the group?
Then, you must pay attention to your writing. You must create how they respond to situations, how they learn and understand things, and how they relate to other people. You must!
Then, you must write about them. Write about what happens to them, when they fight or flight or focus, and write what they say to each other. Write what they think, if any! This is very important! Take it seriously!
Then, let them make an appearance in your story again—maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually! You want to keep introducing them until there is a climax or resolution that shows their worth.
Using popular actors
Using popular actors and using their names to sell something is a great way to build your brand. Using recognizable people helps get your product or service noticed and introduced to a audience.
This is a great way to build your audience and brand recognition, as they invest in you by choosing you over another company.
American networks like E! and Bravo that focus on popular entertainment help develop a loyal following that sticks with you through your purchases, watchings, etc. This development can last for a long time as new people discover your product or service and take the opportunity to purchase it too.
American networks have developed over the years as people created small businesses grew, took off, and started selling things.
Variety is the spice of life!
Most people have only a vague idea of what variety television programming looks like, let alone what they should be watching. This is due in part to the variety of shows that are currently being produced, as well as those that have been in the past.
With so many different types of television programing, people have a lot of choices when it comes to what to watch! This is good and bad, as some things are better than others when it comes to diversity.
diversity is a wonderful thing to experience. Some people find the diverse characters and situations somewhat uncomfortable or even taboo to talk about or watch about, which is why there are so few if any outside the family or small group community.
Why should you watch TV?
Now that you have an understanding of what TV is and why you should watch it, it is time to find it. There are several ways to find TV shows ands they are:
By Watching Them On The Broadcast Channel
The first way to find TV shows is by watching them on the broadcast channel. There are a variety of televisions channels that broadcast quality content such as HBO, The History Channel, and The Food Network. Many of them offer great content for cheap, so go with care.
By Watching Them On The Cable Channel
Another way to find television shows is by watching them on the cable channel. There are a variety of networks such as AMC, A&E, and BBC America that broadcast quality content for your viewing pleasure. Some of these networks offer greatcontent for cheap, so go with care.
Does watching television affect you?
Over the last few years, there has been a surge in interest in how television shows impact us as people. How they affect us emotionally, socially, and spiritually is becoming more of a focus than scientifically.
This awareness has spread to the advertising industry, where new products are evaluated for their influence on consumers.
Many advertisers design commercials to be memorable and impactful. This is part of their success in getting you to purchase their product.
It is very difficult to do an honest review of a commercial without being influenced by the product being advertised. It is even more difficult when you are not familiar with the product being advertised!
It is important to remain objective while reviewing advertisements, which is why it is so important to pay attention to television shows and commercials.
Being able to make connections is a way to get more out of your daily life. By being able to choose places to meet up with friends, or finding new friends yourself, you’ll gain more from your day to day life.
Connecting with people in your area is a fun way to spend time getting to know them and their lives. Plus, it’s an easy way to learn more about the world around you.
It’s particularly satisfying when you see others respond positively to what you have to say.
By making meaningful connections with people, you’ll discover things about yourself that were otherwise hidden. You’ll also obtain valuable knowledge from other people that you might not have acquired on your own.
And don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you really need it, then do so.

Some have suggested that President Trump’s criticism to the four members of “The Squad”–i.e. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY); Ayanna Pressley (D-MA); Ilhan Omar (D-MN); and Rashida Tlaib (D-MN)–is inherently racist, since these are all “women of color.”
But sometimes it is possible to confuse causation with mere correlation.
Or–even when causation actually exists–to misunderstand the direction in which it runs. (In other words, does X actually cause Y? Or does Y cause X?)
It may, indeed, be no coincidence that these are all “women of color.”
But is it not possible that they have simply refused to assimilate into the dominant culture? That they have, instead, embraced the “fruit salad” metaphor that is the basis for multiculturalism?
Note: I do think that President Trump could have been a bit less strident in his criticism of them. But that is really not the topic here. And I am hoping that we can all stay on topic.
I believe that many of them are associated with the Justice Democrats. If you look into that organization they have been very public about stating they were looking for actors to play politicians. AOC Is the prime example. I don’t know about the rest of them but she is clearly the ringleader and is nothing but an actress.
This is it in a nutshell. President Trump called out their anti-Americanism not their race but that is what anti-American liberal progressive socialist do is use identity politics and victimization and it doesn’t matter if your lily white Liz Warren or a person of varying color like these coven of witches in Congress. It all comes out as Anti-American and President Trump and most Americans are sick & tired of it and thank goodness we have someone in the WH that calls them out!
My, my! The first four posts in a single thread and I like them all!
The Squad claimed that Nancy Pelosi was racist when she called out the four (who duly noted that they were indeed “four women of color”) as being “just four votes” with no following.
The Squad welcomed the “victim role” by assigning racism to Nancy’s remark. They could just as easily have claimed she was against women, but that is not nearly as effective as the cry of RACISM…to which the liberals cling at every opportunity. Even the black members of the House laughed at the notion that Nancy is a racist…as did President Trump.
Causation and coincidence are easily conflated for the sake of argument, especially when the coincidence hints at racism or religious discrimination.
Trump’s ban on travel from certain countries that were producers of terrorists and had little or no vetting of those traveling to the US was proclaimed as discriminating against Muslims even though there were several predominantly Muslim countries that were NOT on his list. (And, BTW, the original list came from the Obama administration.)
It took several trips to US Courts to get his ban approved.
Yes! Their first actor was Barack Hussein Obama, the polished community organizer that they groomed, provided a fake family, hid his educational history and placed in the White House. He was (and still is) the greatest fraud ever perpetuated on the American public.
Yes! This has been going on ever since the race baiters, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s mentor), and their ilk discovered a source of money and power in promoting the “racist victim” hand. Does the name, Tawana Brawley ring a bell?
They are so obsessed with “People of Color” but they don’t look at the facts! It’s about time for black and hispanic Americans to realize Democrats aren’t interested in solving their problems. A consistently high unemployment rate under Democrats should be proof enough. It’s time for the black and hispanic community to do something different. Like vote Republican for a positive change and ditch this B!TCH SQUAD!
For a very long time before President Trump came along, blacks had the highest unemployment rates, highest new AIDS cases, 74% of black children were being raised by single mothers, highest dropout rates, highest crime rates, highest prision rates… etc., etc., etc. – after voting for nothing but Democrats for decades.
They’ve been used as pawns. After all, you can’t have robust welfare programs if you don’t have a bunch of people living in poverty.
Not surprising that someone with your name and logo would want to wave the Black and Brown pride flag. It’s doubtful you’ve ever touched a black person in your life.
It was a Republican President - President Trump that pulled black and hispanic Americans OUT of poverty by creating an environment where the job creators could CREATE JOBS.
You seem impervious to the lessons of history. The Democrats favored slavery. The Democrats founded the KKK. The Democrats opposed civil rights for blacks until they realized they could get votes for trinkets. The Democrats designed the Welfare Plantation to keep blacks in poverty stricken fatherless homes and maintain their dependency of government handouts.
The Democrats have manipulated black dependency since passage of LBJ’s Great Society Civil Rights legislation.
Many conservative blacks have been “woke” to the Democrat lies of the past 55 years and will be voting Republican.
The Democrats have been exposed as the disingenuous assholes they have long been.
You forgot to mention the party that encourages illegal immigration so the illegals can be indentured for their passage, paid less than minimum wage if working under the table, children being exploited for better chances of scamming the laws, women taking birth control pills knowing they will be raped on the journey here and the list goes on and on.
The democrat party hasn’t changed at all. They are still the evil bastards they’ve always been.
They are just far leftwing wackos using race like their fellow democrats as a shield against any criticism.
Since Obama’s election any criticism of any democratic program, proposal or politician has been deemed “racist” by the democrats and their leftwing cohorts to the point I stopped listening years ago anytime any of them assert it.
Too many blacks and hispancis are moving into the middle and upper classes and the democrats are completely dependent on a permanent, dependent underclass to maintain power so that was the logical next step for them.
Flood the country with millions of illegals, “refugees”, and “asylees” and make them all dependent upon and beholding to the democratic party.
60% of all immigratns are on some form of welfare and those who have been here ten years or more jump to over 70%.
It’s a different class of illegal than we had when you and I were young and they were coming up here to work for a few months at a time and take money home to their families.
Now they are coming here, making families, getting on welfare, and committing mass tax fraud to get checks back every year by abusing the refundable tax credits.
Democrats are doing everything they can to encourage more of it. Hell, look at states like CA who are now providing free healthcare to illegals and even the major candidates are saying we should be providing HC to illegals and will be under their "Medicare For All " plans.

The Leader | Evening Standard daily
Summary: Released at 4pm on the day of recording, the Leader podcast brings you the latest news, analysis and interviews from the Evening Standard. Our journalists, editors and columnists will take you through the day’s events, helping you understand what’s happening during these extraordinary times.
Central London is facing the biggest economic crisis in generations with tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of businesses at risk of being wiped out in Britain’s most vibrant economic powerhouse. An Evening Standard investigation has unearthed the true scale of the problem, revealing predictions that 50,000 jobs in the vulnerable retail, tourism and hospitality sectors could disappear in the West End alone this year with total spending down by half — a loss of revenue of about £5 billion — as a direct result of the coronavirus lockdown. Our consumer business editor Jonathan Prynn tells the podcast why it's the worst outlook since the Second World War. Also, Andy Byford earned the nickname "Train Daddy" when he turned around New York's failing transit system. Now he's back in London, where he started as a trainee on the underground, having been picked as TfL's commissioner by Sadiq Khan. The Evening Standard's City Hall editor Ross Lydall takes him for a walk around the city to find out what the new boss's plans for the future are. Is Crossrail among them? And how will he get reluctant commuters back on the tube? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Evening Standard's revealed how thousands of Londoners are missing urgent checks for cancer as the full impact of the coronavirus lockdown emerges. Those seeking a two-week hospital referral from their GP fell by almost 18,000 in May — 53 per cent lower than the same month last year, and worse than the rest of the country. The number of Londoners starting life-saving or life-extending treatment also fell by about 1,000 — 35 per cent lower than last year. Health editor Ross Lydall tells us how health campaigners fear cancer has become "the forgotten C" during the Covid-19 pandemic. And, Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird is turning 60, but is the race relations story told through the eyes of young white girl still relevant in a Black Lives Matter world? We speak to best-selling author Lauren Wilkinson, whose novel American Spy, about a black female FBI agent in a white male dominated field, was named by Barack Obama as one of the best of last year. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The government's announced that gyms and swimming pools will reopen within weeks, but office blocks around the country remain empty as the coronavirus lockdown limps on. It follows the Chancellor unveiling a discount meal scheme, and help for homebuyers. Our associate editor Julian Glover asks if ministers are doing what's popular instead of making the hard decisions that will restart an economy lumbering towards recession. Also, Labour's Jess Phillips speaks to the Leader podcast about a gap in the new Domestic Abuse Bill. It's being hailed as "landmark legislation" after passing the Commons earlier this week, but Ms Phillips says it doesn't cover migrant victims who are being denied public money and shelter support. She tells us why that's putting people's lives at risk. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Rishi Sunak's given everyone in Britain a discount voucher for half price meals at restaurants, pubs and cafes during August in an unprecedented move to boost the battered economy. He's also slashed VAT from 20 per cent to just five per cent on leisure and nights out and cut Stamp Duty. We ask city journalist Mark Shapland and Prudence Ivey from the Evening Standard's Homes and Property if the Chancellor's done enough to get the economy moving. Also, Lauren Bravo, writer of How to Break Up with Fast Fashion joins us to talk about Boohoo. The retailer's launched an independent investigation after one of its suppliers was accused of paying staff below the minimum wage, and allegedly making them work in unsafe conditions during the coronavirus lockdown. But is Boohoo the only player in the fashion industry with questions to answer over how workers are treated? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Boris Johnson has been blasted for an "absolute travesty of leadership" after saying that "too many" care homes did not properly follow procedures during the coronavirus pandemic. Care providers have branded his comments as "cowardly" while the head of the National Care Forum said they were "frankly hugely insulting". But Downing Street's neither apologising nor backing down. Instead, our political editor Joe Murphy says Number 10's claiming the PM's words "didn't mean what we think they mean”. Three pubs which reopened their doors for the first time on Saturday have had to close again after customers tested positive for coronavirus. The Evening Standard's Go London editor, David Ellis, says it proves landlords are taking the Covid-19 threat seriously, and it shouldn't put people off heading out at the weekend.

Headteachers have been telling the Evening Standard how the coronavirus lockdown is having a "severe impact" on the country's children. Sleep loss, silence, and appearing withdrawn or sad are just some of the manifestations of the mental strain that has been placed upon some, while teachers say that others had not even picked up a pen or book since their schools were shut. Our education editor Anna Davis talks to us about her investigation, and why the government needs to intervene to help the most vulnerable. Also, one of the country's top west end producers joins the podcast to talk about the £1.5bn lifeline the government's giving the arts industries. Sonia Friedman, whose company is behind hits including the Book of Mormon and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, explains why she's "immensely grateful" for cash she hopes will save the culture sector, but also reveals concerns over how and when it will be handed out.

London is set to reopen but London mayor Sadiq Khan warns this isn’t a time to celebrate. He tells The Leader podcast that while Londoners should go out and enjoy the city on Saturday, it's crucial to remember that the threat of Covid-19 is still very real and social distancing must be respected. What will happen if we don’t? We also speak to Professor Karol Sikora who tells us exactly what the consequences will be. And, Ghislaine Maxwell is facing charges over allegations she helped Jeffrey Epstein 'identify and befriend and groom girls’. Evening Standard columnist and former acquaintance Anne McElvoy says she remembers Ghislaine in the 80s a British socialite with bullet-proof confidence. She tells us whether there was any sense then that Ghislaine was wrapped up in another world with Epstein. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard’s new editor, Emily Sheffield, Boris Johnson warned Britain: the furlough scheme cannot go on. He said an extension to the scheme, which is keeping 9.3 million people in ‘suspended animation’, wouldn’t be healthy for the economy - or for us. But Ms. Sheffield tells The Leader podcast the PM revealed there’s more big spending to come as the country emerges from the pandemic. And, we introduce you to the Evening Standard’s new editor. Emily Sheffield is returning to the paper after a period as British Vogue’s deputy editor and launching female-led digital news brand ThisMuchIKnow. She says this is a period of great innovation and change and she’s here to make the most of it. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
If a Leicester-style Covid-19 outbreak hits London, town halls are warning they need more information on how they could enforce a local lockdown. Mayor Sadiq Khan says London isn’t ready for a second surge, and if one hits, more people could lose their lives. The Evening Standard’s Nicholas Cecil has pieced together what plans are in place to stop a surge spiralling out of control, but tells us public health chiefs are operating in the dark. And, a list of air bridges with the UK is set to be released this week and airlines are already ramping up their flight schedules. So does this mean summer is saved? Abta’s Sean Tipton tells us we’re likely to see a boom in out-of-season travel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Leicester became the UK’s first city to experience a local lockdown just as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his ‘New Deal’ plan to soften the blow to Britain’s economy post-pandemic. What does a new surge in coronavirus cases mean for the heath of the Midlands city’s businesses? We spoke to local hair salon owner Barrie Stephen who says after weeks of intense preparation and thousands of pounds spent, the news is devastating. And, the National Gallery is set to re-open its doors - the first of the museums and galleries to do so as lockdown measures in England begin to ease. Director Gabriele Finaldi says this is a big moment not just for him, but for the recovery of the nation. Arts editor Nancy Durrant spoke with him for a piece in today’s Evening Standard, she tells us what visitors can expect when they visit next week.

The city of Leicester is facing two more weeks of lockdown as the rest of England prepares to head to the pub this weekend. Boris Johnson says this is part of the government’s new ‘whack-a-mole’ approach to deal with local flare ups of coronavirus. But if London’s hit, what would a lockdown look like? The Institute for Government’s Alex Thomas tells us it's complicated. And, Sir Mark Sedwill, the government's top civil servant and National Security Advisor has been forced out of both his roles. Chief Brexit negotiator David Frost has taken up position as NSA, which the Evening Standard’s Joe Murphy says has some former top mandarins worried - but who will fill his spot at the heart of Number 10?

More than 140 police officers have been injured in the last three weeks trying to break up massive illegal street parties across London. They're struggling to control the crowds of hundreds gathering in places like Brixton, Streatham and Notting Hill to party until the early hours of the morning. Met Commissioner Cressida Dick's warning people to "cool it," but Evening Standard journalist John Dunne says that will be difficult as the sun comes out and lockdown restrictions ease. Also, Labour's at war with itself again following the sacking of Rebecca Long-Bailey. Leader Sir Keir Starmer's had a tense confrontation with left-wingers including Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott, who are calling for the former shadow education secretary to be reinstated. A petition supporting Ms Long-Bailey's also passed its 10,000 signature target. Evening Standard columnist Ayesha Hazarika tells us why Sir Keir is standing firm in his decision. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A trove of documents, emails and text messages that was supposed to clear Robert Jenrick of allegations he did billionaire Richard Desmond a favour over a planning decision has done anything but. Questions are being raised about the Housing Secretary’s relationship with the businessman, who was complaining about “Marxists” plotting against his plans to build 1,500 homes at Westferry in East London. The Evening Standard's political editor Joe Murphy joins the podcast to talk about new documents he's seen covering the affair. Also, holiday operators are reporting a sudden surge in bookings for Mediterranean villas offering “privacy and space” following reports that air bridges to leading European destinations will be available from next week. A scramble to save a peak summer season worth up to £20 billion is under way ahead of an expected formal announcement on Monday that the much criticised quarantine rules for travellers returning to Britain will start to be eased. Travel journalist Simon Calder, though, says it's too little too late. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
After the big announcement, the government’s now delivering the details on how lockdown will be eased on July 4th. Guidance has been dispatched to businesses affected , including things like telling pubs to warn customers police can be called if they’re not socially distancing. But as the advice was being delivered, some of the country's top health bosses released a letter warning the UK needs a review of preparedness for a second peak of the infection. We speak to BMA chair Dr Chaand Nagpaul who says around 40% of doctors say they couldn't cope with having to do it all again. Also, parts of the UK have seen temperatures above 30c as a heatwave spreads around the country. Could it last until the lockdown restrictions are lifted, or is there stormy weather ahead? Forecaster Jo Farrow, from Netweather, tells us what's happening and how long it will last for. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
MPs were so excited to hear Boris Johnson say pubs will re-open, they shouted "Hallelujah" in the Commons. Museums and art galleries have the green light too. But after more than three months in lockdown, how many will be ready to welcome people by July 4th, and how many people will actually go? The Evening Standard's Lizzie Edmonds says many of London's top tourist attractions are worried the pandemic's effects will last even longer than lockdown itself. Also, it can't be said for certain that coronavirus came from a wet market in Wuhan but most scientists have it at the very top of a short list of suspects. The trade is supplied by a huge international operation, much of it run by organised crime, making large amounts of money from cruelty to animals. The Evening Standard's begun a campaign to end the illegal wildlife trade, and teamed up with conservation group Space for Giants. Their CEO Dr Max Graham tells us how the supply chain works, and the global effort that will be needed to stop it. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Endemic to southern India—the state of Kerala, in particular—this plant’s berries have been traded as a valuable good starting as early as 1000 BCE. Today, black pepper has become one of the most commonly used spices in the world, finding a place on almost every table. Although considered a spice, this climbing vine actually produces berries which are fermented, dried, and crushed to create the powder that ends up in shakers. Due to its affinity for climbing, you will need to provide a trellis or fence in order for it to prosper. It should also be noted that it can be very difficult to start pepper plants from seeds, so use cuttings instead if possible.
The Malabar peppercorn originated in the region of Malabar, India and is one of the most widely-used pepper varietals in the world thanks to its sharp, earthy flavor that maintains its pungency even when cooked. Like most other varieties of peppercorn, the Malabar type prefers warm, humid climates and should be grown indoors or in a greenhouse in USDA Zones 1–9.
Seed Depth: 1/4″
Space Between Plants: 3″
Space Between Rows: 6″
Germination Soil Temperature: 80°F
Days for Germination: 30–35
Sow Indoors: If you do not live in the tropics.
Sow Outdoors: In early spring.
Vegetative: Take an 8–10 inch cutting from a pre-existing healthy peppercorn vine, splice the stem vertically about 1/2 of an inch, and place either in a wet paper towel for travel or cup of water immediately. Wait for roots to sprout. When multiple roots are visible, each a few inches long, plant in soil or soilless mix.
Piper nigrum is a tropical vine that cannot tolerate low temperatures or dry conditions. Therefore, zones that rarely dip below 60°F, receive plenty of rainfall, and maintain an average humidity are its natural habitat. The vine can be grown indoors only with proper lighting and pollination techniques. When growing indoors, spray foliage twice a week to mimic humidity.
Natural: Partial shade.
Artificial: Use fluorescent lamps a few feet away for up to 12 hours a day.
Soil: Well-drained and high in organic matter with a neutral pH. A sandy, loamy, virgin soil is best.
Soilless: Can germinate in soilless mix.
Hydroponics: Thrives in an ebb and flow hydroponic system.
Aeroponics: Can trive in an aeroponic system, but be mindful, since this plant needs plenty of moisture.
Water: Keep soil moist at all times: in India, plants receive anywhere from 60–160″ of rainfall a year! In drier areas, spray leaves with water to increase humidity.
Nutrients: Fertile soil yields best results. Demanding as it is, be sure to supplement soil with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Foliar: This plant will benefit from an Epsom salt foliar spray to deliver fast and effective magnesium. Magnesium strengthens cell walls and improves uptake ability of major nutrients.
Pruning: Since this vine can grow up to 15 feet tall, pruning the tips to promote horizontal bushy growth can be beneficial.
Mulching: Keeps soil wetter for longer by decreasing exposure. Mulch is also a great way to reduce weeds.
Pest(s): The peppercorn is not threatened largely by pests, but watch for:
Rotation: Because of their high demand for nutrients, soil leeching can occur. The average life cycle of a healthy flowering fruiting peppercorn is from years 3–7. Rotate every 7 years if largely cultivating outdoors.
Companions: Grows well next to plants that prefer a similar climate, but offer benefits, such as cocoa. Also, trees with shaggy or rough bark can act as a natural trellises. Because of its demanding nature, however, the peppercorn does not have many friends.
Harvest: Similar to grapes, peppercorns are berry fruits clustered onto spikes hanging from the stems of the vine. Peppercorns ripen from the familiar unripe color of green to a nice rosy red. For black peppercorns like the Malabar, harvest the berries before they ripen to red. They will be a soft yellow. Boil briefly, allow to ferment, and let dry in the sun for several days. When they are fully dried, they will be wrinkled and blackened.
Storage: Store in an airtight container after drying for best results. Keep in a dark, cool cabinet for ultimate freshness.
History: Starting thousands of years ago, peppercorns were extremely valuable and used as a form of currency in ancient India, which gave rise to it’s nickname “black gold.” As travel became easier and more sources for pepper were discovered, the value began to decline, but even today, pepper is still one of the most widely produced and traded spices in the world.
Preserve: While ground pepper has an average shelf life of around 3 months, whole peppercorns can be kept indefinitely.
Prepare: Freshly ground pepper can be added to any dish.
Nutritional: Contains mainly vitamin(s) A, C, E, K, niacin, β-carotene, and traces of minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorous.
Medicinal: Peppercorn has often been associated with treating digestive disorders. Extracts of Piper nigrum have also been known to exhibit antibacterial properties. It is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and holds anti-cancer, anti-periodic, and anti-pyretic benefits. It can also help to lower body’s cholesterol levels.
Warnings: Avoid eye contact.
Thai Black Pepper and Garlic Tofu is not only nutritious, it’s also delicious!

Elderly or timid dogs are welcome in the small dog area for their safety. Large or overly excitable dogs should be kept in the large dog area.
Pet parents that want to bring their dog to this park must have their dogs licensed and vaccinated. These are mandatory park rules set in place to minimize the risk of canine illnesses and diseases spreading. There is a mixture of green grass and dirt at this park. Dogs that enjoy running around and playing with other dogs will benefit highly due to the social interaction.
There is enough space to play a good game of fetch with your dog. Bring along a ball or toy to play with since the park doesn’t provide toys. You also need to bring along water for your dog. A water bottle and a portable dog bowl are recommended to help keep your dog hydrated, especially on hot weather days.
One of the first things you will notice when you approach the Marlin A. Pound Dog Park at North Livermore Park is the cleanliness. The dog park rules state that all pet parents are responsible for cleaning up after their pets, as you always should be. Pet owners need to supply their own doggie bags, but the park provides the trash cans.
Pet parents are required to remove their dog from the park if aggression is shown to others. You need to take responsibility for any bites, aggression, or damage to property done at the park. Resolving the issue with the victim is an excellent way to take responsibility. Be alert and attentive with your pet at all times to prevent accidents.
Keep your dog on a leash until you enter the designated dog park area. Pet parents are not allowed to walk their dogs off-leash anywhere else in the North Livermore Park area. Overall, the Marlin A. Pound Dog Park is a great place to visit every day and provides your dog with a safe environment to run around, play, and socialize with other dogs.

Despite the fact that many parents wished to protect their children from the element of dread, some teachers believed that Goosebumps helped pupils cope with their feelings of being terrified.
What is the rarest Goosebumps book?
6. There are some that are really unusual… Legend of the Lost Legend; Werewolf Skin; I Live in Your Basement! ; and Monster Blood IV are all Goosebumps novels that are extremely hard to find. These novels are only available in original editions, and thus are referred to as ‘The Unreprinted’ by Goosebumps aficionados.
Who wrote Fear Street?
Are you related to Ben Stein in any way, shape, or form? No. Even our names are not spelled in the same way.
What did RL Stine get a degree in?
His early publications were a series of humor books and short fiction. The following year, he graduated from the Ohio State University, where he had worked as the editor of the school’s comedy magazine for three years throughout his four-year undergraduate career.
How many Fear Street books are there?
In the original Fear Street series, there are 17 novels, according to the Amazon listing. The first book in the series was released in 1996, and subsequent books have been released on a regular basis since then, with the series never truly ending.

He’s a national treasure. He’s our brick and mortar, bread and butter – he’s our Scottish identity.
Identity is one of the most evasive and complicated words in the dictionary, yet bears such a rich concept. In a year of elections, a second referendum on the cards and Brexit negotiations, many of us may well be pondering what it really means to be Scottish.
Kilts, haggis, thistles and heather are the romanticised, fictitious aspect of Scottish culture but most people find it hard to relate to these things. They don’t reflect my life, nor does it say much about most Scots. It’s a Scotland that doesn’t really exist except to tourists in the glossy travel guides – a tame storybook version for visitors’ consumption.
What if our Scottish identity is something less manufactured? Our identity is not something fixed but malleable. National identity is a construct and someone has to be brave enough to challenge it.
Connolly, the former Glasgow shipyard welder who has just been given a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, spoke for a Scotland that wanted to shake off the old traditional stereotypes, a country that was fierce and urban.
When Michael Parkinson asked him about what he objected to in the view that the English had of Scots, he replied that “the wee cottage in the Highlands with the purple heather” was completely false.
Connolly offered an alternative to what many saw as Scottish identity. His was one that was self-mocking, wickedly funny and portrayed the gritty reality of Scottish life at the time in a humorous and relatable way. As a country we have strong connections to our Scottish identity. ‘Braveheart’ and ‘canny Scot’ may represent our past, but Connolly broke us free from those tartan shackles and paved the way for change borne out of Glaswegian humour, wit and wisdom.
He’s your dad, your uncle or your granny after a few drinks. You could meet people like him down the pub, or at the shops. Everyone knows someone like him in their own lives.
A survey into national identity in 2012 told us that more Scots took a sense of national pride from Billy Connolly than the Queen. That’s got to say something.

Super Red Dust Tea
Super Red Dust Tea (SRD) is the grade of the black tea, consisting of tea particles that are left out after siftings of high grade teas. Like many other dust teas, SRD is used in tea bags and it produces flavour and colour, when dipped in the hot water. In and around India, dust teas are largely used in tea stalls, with SRD being one of the most used ones. When brewed for a long time, SRD dusts will produce bitter astringent brews. SRD tea possess a flavour profile that is meant for a strong brew to be consumed with sugar and milk.
Fresh and clean water is the requisite for any tea. Filtered water is recommended for preparing tea. Most black black teas are brewed with boiling water. However, dust teas are steeped into the boiling water. Dust teas are packed in single use packets that are dipped in hot water or hot milk for immediate flavour and colour. At the end of the brewing time, the tea bags should be separated from milk and water, so that tea doesn’t taste bitter and harsh. The tea bags are not fit for second brewing.
Super Red Dust Tea is usually included in a tea bag and offered as a pack, so it is important to store them in an airtight container away from humidity, sunlight and odours to retain their freshness. Take care to store tea bags away from spices, flavouring agents, sunlight and moisture, as dust may absorb any of them and turn bland. Reseal the tea pack as soon as required tea bags are measured and steeped into the brewing vessel.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Missiles fired from U.S. drone aircraft hit a seminary and houses associated with a Taliban commander, killing at least nine people, including militants and civilians, officials and witnesses say.
With violence spiraling in Afghanistan, Washington is becoming more aggressive about insurgent havens abutting the Afghan border, despite the strain it places on relations with Pakistan just as its new president takes office.
Monday's incident occurred in a village in North Waziristan, a militant stronghold in Pakistan's tribal belt and a possible hiding place for Osama bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri.
Residents told of seeing two Predator drones shortly before multiple explosions hit a seminary and several nearby houses in the village of Dande Darba Khel.

First Lt. Nathan Perry, a spokesman for the U.S. military coalition in Afghanistan, said he had no information that he could release. He did not deny coalition involvement.
The targets were associated with Jalaluddin Haqqani, a veteran of the fight against Soviet troops in Afghanistan in the 1980s whom American commanders now count among their most dangerous foes.
Haqqani and his son, Siraj, have been linked to attacks this year including an attempt to kill Afghan President Hamid Karzai and an attack on a hotel in Kabul. Haqqani network operatives plague U.S. forces in Afghanistan's eastern Khost province with ambushes and roadside bombs.

The concept of hunting games may seem silly to hardcore videogame enthusiasts. We’d rather pretend we’re hunting terrorists than deer, apparently. But anyone that wants to discount the popularity of hunting and fishing games, especially here in the good old U.S. of A. is sorely mistaken about how a lot of people like to spend their time. Outdoor hobbies like “huntin’” and “fishin’” are bigger than you think – or maybe they’re not as big as you wished, and you look at a game like Bass Pro Shops: The Hunt
and think, “hell yeah, it’s about time.”
Sure, there have been other hunting games out there, including an onslaught of games featuring the Cabela’s license. But Bass Pro Shops is closer to home; it is to outdoorsman what H&M is to hipsters. In other words, essential. That license served the previous game in the series - Bass Pro Shop’s: The Strike
- quite well, lending an air of authenticity to the proceedings. Authenticity is a key tenet of The Hunt
, though the seriousness is held in check by some inoffensive silliness. There’s the seriousness of the hunting, portrayed here as realistically as possible, crossed with the unseriousness of other game modes that the makers of The Hunt
hope will make their game appeal to as many gamers as possible.
In Bass Pro Shops: The Hunt
, you can compete in a series of tournaments that take place across a number of different environments, from the tropical swamps of the Florida Everglades, to the frozen tundra of the extreme north of Alaska. In each, you will earn points to potentially win your competitions by bagging the biggest animals on your tag list. But there are other animals to look out for too, including “legendary” quarry, that are individual beasts long sought out by hunters in those areas. In addition, you will always be on the lookout for the “King of Bucks”, which are a series of large Whitetail deer with unique antler racks. These objectives, as well as finding specific landmarks in each area earn you points that unlock more levels as well as more weapons and other hunting equipment such as scopes and camouflage patterns.
In the tournament modes, you must stick to the basic rules of hunting. Only kill the right animals, and use your stalking abilities to bring the targets in close for assured kill shots. Hunters will tell you that they don’t go out and shoot things willy-nilly. Instead, they stalk the specific animals they are hunting, using tools like estrus spray and artificial mating calls to bring the animals in close for the kill. This is not Quake
for deer, but rather, hopefully, a more real interpretation of the sport that is big game hunting.
But the game makers also recognize the value if having a little fun. So they put some other new game modes in to keep the action fresh and remind you that this is a game after all. Side missions like ATV racing and duck hunting give you more to do than just stalking deer, giving gamers a more complete experience for their money. One mode called Blind Fire is even a bit like Gears of War 2
’s Horde Mode. You’re in a blind (a quickly constructed shack with 360 degree views) and facing an onslaught of animals, including deer, raccoons and rampaging boar and bears. Sure, it’s a bit silly, but it’s all in good fun.
While Bass Pro Shops: The Hunt
may seem like a niche game, it’s a niche that a lot of gamers will likely find themselves attracted to. This is hardly some budget title pushed out there to grab a few extra dollars from a particular segment of the gaming population. And if the final product shows the same love and care that BPS: The Strike
did for fishing games, The Hunt
could pull in more gamers who thought they would never have a reason to play a hunting game in the first place.


(MENAFN - Daily Outlook Afghanistan) The Palestinian Hamas movement, which governs the besieged Gaza Strip, has slammed President Mahmoud Abbas's decision to delay parliamentary polls that were scheduled to take place on May 22.
Late on Thursday, President Abbas announced the postponement, citing Israel's rejection of allowing elections to be held in occupied East Jerusalem. He stressed, however, that once Israel permits elections in Jerusalem, he will hold the polls 'within a week.
'We received with regret the Fatah [group] and Palestinian Authority's decision represented through its chairman, Mr Mahmoud Abbas, to disrupt the Palestinian elections, the Hamas group said in a statement.
It said it held the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Fatah fully responsible for the postponement and its repercussions, considering such a step 'a coup against the path of national partnership and consensus.
The statement said Hamas had boycotted the meeting, as 'it knew earlier that the PA and Fatah are heading to disrupt the elections for other calculations not related to Jerusalem.
Analysts said Abbas had hoped the elections would allow Fatah and Hamas to continue sharing power, but felt threatened by the emergence of strong splinter factions and the rise of new groups critical of his leadership. (Aljazeera)

The President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, in his capacity as Pro Tempore President of the Forum for the Progress of South America (Prosur), held a videoconference on Tuesday with the leaders of Prosur member countries and observers. The meeting addressed the challenges posed by the health pandemic, as well as the social and economic crisis.
The Heads of State agreed on the importance of coordinating their efforts to combat the coronavirus and reactivate the economies of the region, in order to promote employment and investment and prevent an increase in poverty. To this end, they agreed on establishing a working group at Finance Ministry level.
Furthermore, the leaders agreed on joining forces to move forward with repatriating citizens who remain stranded abroad on the reopening of borders, with all of the health precautions that are required and at the right time.
This is the third meeting that the presidents of the Prosur member countries have held since March in order to coordinate efforts to contain the coronavirus. They have established the coordination of information, border control, repatriation of people and promotion of joint purchases of medical supplies in order to secure better terms and conditions.

The government will cover almost a quarter of pay for workers in “viable” jobs for the next six months, the chancellor said as he outlined plans that will take over from the furlough scheme when it finishes at the end of October.
Unveiling a support package designed to help fend off mass unemployment in the wake of the new restrictions imposed to contain the coronavirus, Rishi Sunak said he knew curbs on everyday freedoms were challenging and that the time had come for the public to live with some element of risk.
“It is on all of us, we must learn to live with it and live without fear,” he said.
Sunak’s move mimics the German Kurzarbeit scheme that provides a government contribution to the wages of employees facing short-time working in companies where business is slow. British workers will need to work at least a third of their normal hours to qualify for the chancellor’s new Job Support Scheme. Their employer will pay normal wages for those hours.
Of the remaining two-thirds of each worker’s usual pay, the employer will pay 33% and the government will pay 33%, meaning that the worker will receive 77% of their usual monthly wage in total. The government will be paying 22%, capped at a maximum £697.72 a month. The employer will pay 55%.
Addressing the resurgence of the virus that had made the measures necessary, Sunak said the public should not be blamed for “striving towards normality” by seeing their friends and loved ones in recent months, a covert defence of his eat out to help out scheme.
“People were not wrong for wanting that … and nor was the government wrong to want this for them,” he said. “I said in the summer that we must endure and live with the uncertainty of the moment. This means learning our new limits as we go.”
Sunak warned MPs it was “not sustainable or affordable to continue to provide the level of support that we did at the beginning of this crisis” and said that would continue to be the case.
“It can’t be that we borrow at this level forever; we must get our borrowing back under control and get our debt falling again.”
The JSS will apply to small and medium-sized enterprises and employers will need to pick up one third of the cost to maintain workers’ pay. Larger employers will only be covered if their turnover has gone down during the Covid-19 pandemic.
All employers will be allowed to apply, even if they did not use the furlough scheme.
He said the self-employed grant support scheme would also be extended to protect those who are unable to find work over the next few months.
“These are policies we have never tried before,” Sunak said, to protect millions of jobs and businesses.
A “pay as you grow” loan scheme will allow businesses to repay government-guaranteed loans over 10 years, effectively halving the total payments over the life of a loan.
A VAT holiday for the particularly hard-hit hospitality and leisure industries due to end in November will be extended to next year.
Boris Johnson’s absence from the Commons for the statement raised some eyebrows in Westminster but the prime minister told broadcasters on a trip to meet police recruits there was no difference of opinion over the proposed measures.
“Of course I fully support the package of measures that we’ve jointly drawn up,” he said, calling them “creative and imaginative proposals from the chancellor”.
Before the announcement, significant numbers of Tory MPs had put pressure on the Treasury for more support, particularly for hospitality, culture and aviation.
The plan received a muted welcome from business and industry lobby groups. Make UK, the lobby group for the manufacturing sector, said the part-time working scheme offered only limited support for the aerospace and car industries, where many firms had suffered a collapse in orders and large numbers of workers continued to be at home full time.
The Institute of Directors said a wider range of measures was needed to protect businesses from going bust and encourage them to make investments necessary for their survival.
Jonathan Geldart, the institute’s director general, said Sunak would be forced to return to the dispatch box over the coming weeks to fill in the gaps in his plans.
“With revenues still limited by the virus, directors looking to adapt their organisations will come up against cash crunches in waves,” he said.
