Government slams door shut long after horse has bolted
For the time being, this is possibly the best that could be expected.
Following a damning statement by the Sephardic Genealogical Society, Público has announced that the government has indeed acted to rein-in any possible abuse of the nationality law, brought in in 2015, to right the wrongs inflicted on Sephardic Jews in Portugal 500 years ago.
President Marcelo has already rubber-stamped the legal change, which will increase control on candidates, meaning that they will have to prove an “effective connection with Portugal”.
As Público explains today, “with these new rules Roman Abramovich would not be eligible to obtain Portuguese citizenship“.
But they have not yet come into force.
Says Expresso, when they do, they will “drastically reduce the number of candidates for Portuguese citizenship”.
The respective ‘decreto-lei’ arrived in Belém for President Marcelo’s approval on February 14, but was only given that approval on March 9.
News of this has still not appeared on the official site, adds the paper.
SIC meantime explains that foreign affairs minister Augusto Santos Silva accepts the new “mechanism” seeks to “prevent the law from being manipulated”.
What it has not sought is any retroactive effects (see below).
This means the Portuguese nationalities conferred on people in the past who may not have had any right to them will remain in place. At least for now.
Says SIC, featuring a large image in its online text of Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich, this also “means the Russian oligarch will not lose his Portuguese nationality”.
It is clearly not an ideal solution.
Meantime, the issue is the subject of criminal investigation.
The ‘spiritual leader’ of the Porto Jewish Community, Rabbi David Litvak, as well as a Portuguese lawyer, are both ‘arguidos’ in a case that has seen them cited with a number of potential crimes, including active corruption, document falsification, criminal association and money-laundering.
The Institute of Registries and Notaries has also announced that its own inquiry into how Roman Abramovich came to be granted Portuguese nationality has resulted in a disciplinary procedure.
The Institute has not yet revealed how many members of staff are involved in this disciplinary procedure, nor identified them.
UPDATE: New Statement from Sephardic Genealogical Society, which has understandably seen the flaw in this still unenforced legal change:
Here is the statement, parts have been highlighted in bold type by the author of this text:
“The Government of Portugal is reported to be amending the Sephardic nationality law. If reports are correct, those who have cheated the system will benefit. Many of those who have applied in good faith – or are still researching for their application – will suffer. This is unjust.
The Sephardic community is not at fault and should not be punished for the actions of others. We call upon the Portuguese Government to honour the intent of the law. We note:
- The Jewish Community of Porto, which accounted for 89% of certifications, has now withdrawn.
- The reform of a supposedly remunerative law should not discriminate on the basis of wealth.
- A correct response would be to issue clear guidelines for those processing applications, and clarification of who qualifies. This would lead to a substantial reduction in the number of applicants while honouring the intent of the law. The Sephardic Genealogical Society is happy to advise on these matters.
We hope the Government of Portugal will continue to admit applicants of undoubted Sephardic ancestry, regardless of wealth. We have total confidence in the Portuguese justice system.
Chairman of the Sephardic Genealogical Society, David Mendoza, observed: “The nationality concession still has much to offer both Portuguese and Sephardim. Our saying ‘We told you so’ is probably not welcome at the moment. It is easily possible to remove anyone abusing the system without punishing the honest.”


The Corvette C7.R made its racing debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona in January. Despite the advantages that the new and improved C7.R brings, Corvette Racing’s two cars finished fifth and tenth in the GTLM class at Daytona and will be hoping for a better result in the second race of the 2014 TUDOR United Sports Car Championship, the 12 Hours of Sebring.
One of the main advantages that the C7.R has over the rest of the pack is the pushrod design of its 5.5 liter V8 engine. As Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan told Car and Driver, pushrods allow for a smaller, simpler engine package, which in turn reduces weight and keeps the center of gravity of the engine low.
“I rue the day we would ever have to go to overhead cams. Bigger, heavier, giant heads. Cams in head, higher center of gravity, bigger package, in most cases more weight. All the additional parts like chains, pulleys, and gears—you just increase the opportunity for things to go wrong. Fuel-efficiency and emissions standards may at some point cause us to have to go that way, but when you look at the size and weight of our C7.R package, plus its power and reliability, there’s nothing that beats a two-valve engine,” Fehan said.
Surprisingly, the overhead valve design provides such an advantage, that Corvette Racing’s competitors have tried to get it penalized in the past.
“I sit on several FIA engine councils and it always comes up from our competitors. Whether it’s Porsche, Ferrari, or Aston Martin, they’re always complaining about what they perceive of as the advantages the two-valve engine has [over] their [designs], and want the two-valve engine penalized, said Fehan. “To that I say, ‘go back to the road car—if the two-valve engine is that much better for racing you ought to put it in your car.’ To which they have no answer.”
Corvette Racing might have some more complaints to deal with if it gets the finish it’s hoping for at the 12 Hours of Sebring on March 15.

If you’re an avid hunter, you may be wondering about hunters insurance and what it entails. Hunters Insurance is a type of insurance that offers coverage for accidents, injuries, and other mishaps that may occur while hunting. Here’s what you need to know about Hunters Insurance:
Types of Coverage:
Hunters Insurance can include a variety of coverage options, depending on your specific needs. Liability coverage protects you against legal claims for property damage or personal injury caused during a hunting trip. Property damage coverage provides protection for any damage to equipment or property, while medical payments coverage pays for medical expenses related to injuries sustained during a hunting trip.
Some insurance policies may also include coverage for accidental death or dismemberment, as well as coverage for lost or stolen hunting equipment.
One of the benefits of Hunters Insurance is that it can be customized to meet your specific needs. For example, if you’re a big game hunter, you may want coverage that specifically addresses the risks associated with hunting large animals. On the other hand, if you’re a waterfowl hunter, you may want coverage that addresses the risks associated with hunting in or near water.
The cost of Hunters Insurance can vary depending on the coverage options you select, as well as your individual risk factors. For example, if you’re a new hunter, you may be considered a higher risk and may have to pay more for coverage. On the other hand, if you’ve been hunting for years without incident, you may be eligible for discounts on your insurance premiums.
As with any insurance policy, it’s important to shop around to find the best coverage options at the most affordable price. Don’t just settle for the first policy you find – take the time to compare multiple policies and make sure you’re getting the coverage you need at a price you can afford.
In addition to Hunters Insurance, there may be other types of insurance that you need to consider as a hunter. For example, if you own hunting property, you may need to purchase property insurance to protect against damage or theft. You may also need to consider liability insurance if you plan to host hunting parties on your property.

West and Cudi were previously close friends and collaborators but have had a tumultuous relationship since the mid-2010s. They fell out again earlier this year, supposedly due to Cudi’s friendship with Davidson – which led Ye to remove Cudi’s contributions from his ‘Donda 2’ album.
Speaking to Esquire in a new profile, Cudi said of West: “I’ve been on every one of that man’s albums. He’s only been on two of mine. That should tell you something. And don’t think I didn’t ask.”
West went on to share numerous posts on Instagram targeting Davidson and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian – who he had been dating up until earlier this month – as well as Cudi. A mocked-up New York Times headline created by West imagining the death of “Skete Davidson” included the line: “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”
“Do you know how it feels to wake up one day, look at your social media, and you’re trending because somebody’s talking some shit about you?” Cudi said. “And then you got this person’s trolls sending you messages on Instagram and Twitter? All in your comments?
“That shit pissed me off. That he had the power to fuck with me that week. That he used his power to fuck with me. That pissed me off. You fucking with my mental health now, bro.”
Cudi went on to explain he now had “zero tolerance for the wrong energies,” adding: “I’ve watched so many people throughout the years that are close to him be burned by him doing some fucked-up shit. And then they turn around and forgive him. And there’s no repercussions. You’re back cool with this man. He does it over and over.”
“I’m not one of your kids. I’m not Kim. It don’t matter if I’m friends with Pete or not friends with Pete. None of this shit had anything to do with me,” Cudi continued. “If you can’t be a grown man and deal with the fact that you lost your woman? That’s not my fucking problem. You need to own up to your shit like every man in this life has. I’ve lost women, too. And I’ve had to own up to it. I don’t need that in my life. I don’t need it.”
Cudi also suggested that the chances of them mending their friendship, as West has previously done with artists, was minimal.
“With all due respect, I’m not Drake, who’s about to take a picture with him next week and be friends again, and their beef is squashed,” Cudi said. “That’s not me. What I say, I mean. I will be done with you. It’s gonna take a motherfucking miracle for me and that man to be friends again. I don’t see it happening. He gon’ have to become a monk.”
Back in February, Kardashian criticised West for his “constant attacks” on her following their split. Davidson also previously revealed he had sought trauma therapy following the rapper’s online abuse.


Nexen first came to market in 1947 in South Korea. Its tyres are today available in 27 patterns, 200 sizes and 120 countries across the world. The country’s production base remains in Korea but a new factory opened in China in 2007. Like many Far East entrants to the UK market, Nexen have a reputation as a value-for-money option. This is thanks to being available at lower prices than those from many more-established brand names.
In recent years Nexen has worked on original equipment partnerships with some of the world’s largest car manufacturers. Traditionally these have included the likes of Hyundai, Daewoo, Kia and Ssangyong. However, Nexen’s tyres are now Original Equipment (OE) on various models from European marques. These include Fiat, Skoda and Volkswagen.
The partnership to supply Volkswagen involves the NBlue HD, an eco-tyre fitted to many new VW Polo models. The same tyre is factory-fitted to various Seat models and the Skoda Octavia and Rapid. It scores good ratings for wet grip under EU labelling regulation tests. Also, it is also designed for fuel efficiency and to be eco-friendly. It earned high praise in industry tests on its launch in the UK. This came not only for its wet grip but also for its competitive price.
The many Nexen passenger car tyres available in the UK feature keen pricing and good wet grip ratings. The Rodian tyre for SUV and 4×4 vehicles complements the range.
The Nfera SU1 and Nfera SU4 are solid options for passenger cars. Nexen aims both of these high-performance tyres at drivers of larger and sports models. They feature increased shoulder block strength to ensure even pressure and excellent steering response when cornering. Three deep grooves and one thinner groove across the tyre’s circumference support enhanced handling on wet roads. You can also find these high levels of wet grip on Nexen’s N6000 and N8000 tyres, both of which have sold well in the UK and are now available in a run-flat format.

Mr Monk stated it would take a savings pot of £337,000 based on a healthy 65-year-old making this purchase.
For this reason, the expert added, it will be essential for Britons to ensure they are entitled to the maximum state pension sum possible.

POWER SYSTEM CONTINGENCY RANKING BASED ON SHORT-TERM VOLTAGE STABILITY INDICES
This paper presents a novel methodology to identify critical contingencies that produce short-term voltage stability problems (STVS). The proposed methodology classifies the state of the pow-er system for each contingency, assessing the voltage stability of the post-contingency dynamic response from the calculation of the maximal Lyapunov expo-nent (MLE) and dynamic voltage indices at each bus and the whole system. In order to determine the crit-ical contingencies, the values of the indices and the results of the classification of the post-contingency state are statistically analysed. The methodology is tested in the New England 39-bus system, obtaining satisfactory results in relation to the identification not only of the most critical contingencies but also of vulnerable buses to voltage instability. New contri-butions of this work are the contingency classifica-tion methodology, the algorithm for calculating dy-namic indices and the method of classification of the operating state as a function of the STVS problem magnitude.

The present Village of Iola was the homeland of Redbird, and Indian Chief, brother of Chief Waupaca, after whom our county was named. Redbird’s daughter was Princess Iola, who, according to legend, left her native land to live as the wife of Chief Syracuse in her ancestral home in New York State.
The first white settlers erected a saw mill at the head of a mill pond in the 1850's, followed by a post office and Methodist church. The Village of Iola was formerly incorporated in 1892. The immigration of the Norwegian ancestors took place between the 1860's and 1890's.
The Iola Old Car Show and Swap Meet put Iola on the map as the largest car show in the Midwest. Iola is rich in the natural beauties of wildlife, forestry and lake shores, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

For years, the phrase “small colonies of the saved” has called out to me to be used. It is from the poem, “Those Being Eaten by America,” by Robert Bly. I have never cited Bly in something I have written until now, but this fragment of a line from a not particularly interesting poem seemed more resonant than usual when it rose to the surface of my consciousness.
It all started when I passed Alexi Worth on 30th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue. We were both out of our neighborhoods so to speak, which is to say in Chelsea, where we have seen each other while going to galleries. Passing, saying hello, I knew that we would meet again somewhere in his past and in my future. My hunch was based on the fact that I was going to see the two-person exhibition of Angela Dufresne and Louis Fratino, titled Glazed, at Monya Rowe.
Rowe is one of the gallerists that you especially root for in these crazily seismic times. She has given many artists their first solo show — Larissa Bates, Angela Dufresne, and Josephine Halvorson, among them. Opening in 2003, her first space in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn was 200 square feet. She has also had galleries in Chelsea and on the Lower East Side. Two years ago, she moved from New York to Saint Augustine, Florida. Recently, she moved back to a tenth floor space in a building that has no other galleries on a street just far enough away from Chelsea’s gallery district that people would have know about it to go there. They should, because Rowe discovers artists, which many better known galleries have never done.
Writing about Dufresne on a previous occasion, I stated that she was part of a group of figurative artists:
[…]they seem to have their fingers on the pulse of the cataclysmic changes America has been undergoing, as signaled by [Eve Kosofsky] Sedgwick’s foundational book [Epistemology of the Closet (1990)], which helped begin the field of queer studies. Sedgewick was one of the first to advance that it was limiting to define sexuality in the binary opposition of heterosexuality and homosexuality.
Whether or not this is the future of figurative painting seems beside the point since it is the future of America, whatever conservatives in the red states think. Flying a defaced American flag in Kansas, as Josephine Meckseper recently did at the University of Kansas’s Spencer Art Museum, is the latest in series of tired privileged gestures where nothing is ventured and a lot of attention is gained.
The work of Dufresne and Fratino is far more radical than anything than Meckseper has gotten attention for — something a large swath of the art world seems unable to wrap its head around: painting can be radical; conceptual art can be a boring, tiresome rehash. Meckseper’s flag isn’t David Hammons “African-American Flag” (1990) or the Rainbow Flag, which every museum ought to fly just to set the record straight.
Dufresne has a big spirit. In the painting “Just My Type” (2018), she has laid down a washy, abstract ground of blues, turquoises, pinks and reds and outlined two women over it. One woman is holding her arms out, turning in her claw-like hands like she is about grab or catch something, while the other woman is standing behind her, looking over her shoulder. This second figure has one arm around the waist of the first figure and is holding their erect penis.
Dufresne’s painting — particularly her use of color, abstraction, and line — shares something with Raoul Dufy, who is said to have never painted a sad picture. The difference is that Dufresne is cruder and jauntier than Dufy ever was. In “70’s Mom” (2017), she presents a close-up view of a mother wearing a necktie, holding a baby on her lap and smoking a cigarette. The view is cropped so that we see only the baby’s face looking up at us, one hand reaching towards its mouth. For unknown reasons, the mother’s other arm is raised in the air, suggesting that she isn’t grasping the baby.
Without making a fuss about it, Dufresne undoes all the conventions we associate with paintings of mothers and their child, starting with Mary and the infant Jesus. Remember all of Pablo Picasso’s saccharine depictions of a mother holding her child, from “Mother and Child in front of a Vase of Flowers” (1901) to “Mother and Child” (1965), and you get a sense of just how tough, interesting, smart, and funny Dufresne can be.
Louis Fratino also undoes Picasso. In “Reconfiguration” (2018), he uses oil, crayon, and oil stick to depict two young men making love. Tightly pressing their faces together until they become one shape, their kiss knowingly reinhabits Picasso paintings such as “The Kiss” (1969) as well as reimagines Dora Maar’s famous profile. In “Waking Up” (2018), a young man is lying in bed. Frantino uses pink and mauve crayon to give his skin a waxy glow.
Alongside Dufresne’s joyful challenges, Frantino’s celebration of male love and domesticity, as well as his imaginative transformations of motifs found in Picasso, suggests a shift has taken place in the art world: the age of derision, caricature, and imitation has lost whatever edge it once supposedly had. Once seen as radical, the work of many celebrated artists of the early 2000’s seems increasingly conventional.
The subjects that Dufresne and Fratino deal with are not new. They date back at least as far as the Classical era, as evidenced in Greek literature and mythology. In Homer’s Iliad, Achilles and Patrocolus share the same bed; Plato called Sappho “the tenth muse.” Cy Twombly explored these subjects in his art. And yet, it remains a side of history and culture that is seldom acknowledged by mainstream institutions. It is time they did.
Signing the guest book, and seeing Worth’s name just above mine, Bly’s line came to mind. I wondered if “small colonies of the saved” applied to the supporters, friends, and fans of Dufresne and Fratino or to those offended by Meckseper’s wan gesture. I don’t think the storms gathering on the horizon will clarify the answer.
Glazed continues at Monya Rowe Gallery (224 West 30th Street, #1005, Chelsea) through August 3.
In an exhibition that consists of mostly small-scale black and white works on paper, viewer engagement almost magically awakens the sleepy room.

Come the fall 2016 term, University of Manitoba students will enjoy an extra pair of days off over the Thanksgiving long weekend.
The University of Manitoba Students’ Union (UMSU) announced what it is calling a fall reading week following near unanimous approval from the school’s senate at its regular meeting Nov. 4. Under the approved structure, students will receive the Thursday and Friday prior to the holiday weekend off, giving them a total five-day recess from classes.
“It’s only a marginal addition, in terms of days off, but we believe that any additional time around the really stressful mid-term season will […] really help [students’] mental health and wellness,” said UMSU president Jeremiah Kopp.
A 2013 National College Health Assessment surveyed 561 U of M students and found more than 31 per cent of respondents experienced a level of stress they worried would negatively affect their academic performance, while 23 per cent experienced anxiety, 21 per cent had difficulty sleeping, and 12 per cent suffered from depression.
While Kopp admitted an extra-long weekend likely wouldn’t alleviate every student’s symptoms, he said it’s a step toward a greater understanding of, and sensitivity toward, mental health and wellness issues from the university’s leadership.
“That’s what we’re really celebrating here,” he said. “It’s not just an additional couple of days, for a total of five – what we’re celebrating is a signal to academia that there needs to be structural changes.”
Currently, 12 days are set aside for exams in the fall period, with tests scheduled on only 10. Beginning next school year, the two unused days will be used to make way for the additional time off, noted Kopp. Classes won’t begin any earlier in the fall or run any later at the end of the year, he said.
While nearly all faculties of the Fort Garry campus opted into the schedule, the majority operating on the Bannatyne campus opted out.
David Ness, director of the U of M student counselling centre, said the additional time off will be a good opportunity for students, especially those in the early years of their academic careers, to recharge and reconnect with their support network.
“With that reduction in commitment of scheduled time – you don’t have the same schedule, you don’t have to be somewhere – you can use that time differently,” he said. “Maybe to get more rest, to study more, to take care of self, to travel to visit someone. I think that almost always benefits people to be able to have that freedom to do what they need at that time.”
He acknowledged some students actually use their studies as a distraction to cope with their difficulties and the additional time off could increase their stress load, but noted that they’re the exception to the rule. He urged all students to make the most of the opportunity in whatever way suits them.
“I would encourage students to use that break wisely to take care of themselves in whatever way they need to decrease their stress,” he said. “Whether that is not even looking at a book, or looking at the book more, travelling – what do they need to take care of self, to recharge some energy, so that when they return they can finish the last half of the term before December exams.”
The U of M follows the lead of the University of Winnipeg, which became the first school in the province to adopt a fall reading week when its senate supported the motion in the spring, and a number of universities nation-wide that are also opting for a fall recess.
University of Winnipeg classes will start one day earlier following Labour Day and Saturdays have been added to the fall exam calendar in exchange for the full week off after Thanksgiving.
Peyton Veitch, president of the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association, said he received overwhelming support for a fall break in a student survey circulated in the spring and noted the school’s acceptance points to the increasing weight given to mental health issues on campus.
“Hopefully,” he said, “this is part of a continuing trend where not only are universities going in the direction of a fall reading week to complement a winter-term reading week, but also signals a greater emphasis on mental health at universities across the country – because it’s critically important.”

Little Richard, one of the founding fathers of rock and roll, died Saturday. Little Richard was 87, and had been battling a long list of health ailments. But early reports suggest that he may also have contracted the COVID 19 coronavirus.
The musician’s son, Danny Penniman, confirmed Little Richard's death to Rolling Stone yesterday. Officially, he said that his father's cause of death is "unknown".
Little Richard burst onto the music scene in 1956, with his song “Tutti Frutti." And he followed it up with a series of hits – “Long Tall Sally” and “Rip It Up” that same year, “Lucille” in 1957, and “Good Golly Miss Molly” in 1958.
Although he never hit the top 10 again after 1958, Little Richard’s influence on music was unrivaled.
According to Rolling Stone, "Starting with “Tutti Frutti” in 1956, Little Richard cut a series of unstoppable hits – “Long Tall Sally” and “Rip It Up” that same year, “Lucille” in 1957, and “Good Golly Miss Molly” in 1958 – driven by his simple, pumping piano, gospel-influenced vocal exclamations and sexually charged (often gibberish) lyrics. “I heard Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, and that was it,” Elton John told Rolling Stone in 1973. “I didn’t ever want to be anything else. I’m more of a Little Richard stylist than a Jerry Lee Lewis, I think. Jerry Lee is a very intricate piano player and very skillful, but Little Richard is more of a pounder.”
The Beatles re-recorded several of Little Richard's songs, including “Long Tall Sally,” and Paul McCartney’s singing on those tracks – and the Beatles’ own “I’m Down” – paid tribute to Little Richard’s shredded-throat style.
For many years Little Richard lived his life as an openly gay man. Later in life, however, he converted to Christianity and began making comments that many in the LGBTQ community found disturbing, with Little Richard saying that he was no longer gay and called homosexuality "unnatural."

A steel cabinet is a way of storing objects such as gardening equipment, tools or other supplies. Steel is a tough and durable material so it can withstand heavy use, plus it is more resistant to weather than wood. Building your own steel cabinet is a cost effective way of getting extra space, although you will need to create a plan, find the correct materials and spend time putting it together. However, by doing this you can build it to your own specification.
Things You'll Need
Corrugated Steel Sheets
Steel Strips, 2 Inches Wide
Drawer Glides Or Shelf Brackets
Measure the height, width and length of the area where you wish to place the cabinet. Write these measurements down as you will need them to design your steel cabinet to specification.
Video of the Day
Create a diagram of the steel cabinet and label it with the dimensions you obtained. A basic cabinet consists of a rectangular steel box with two doors opening outwards, plus shelving fixed on the inside. Adding custom features such as chrome handles and a lock for security is also possible.
Place the cabinet's back panel on the ground. Place two even strips of steel measuring 2 inches wide diagonally across the back of this steel sheet to form an "X."
Fix them into place by drilling screws and nuts along the length of the metal strips. These will provide strength and support to the back of the cabinet.
Construct the basic cabinet shape by fixing the sides of the steel cabinet. Weld the long edge of the back panel to the side panels. This provides a rigid join between the two edges.
Attach the top of the steel cabinet to the sides and back panel. Weld the sheet at a right angle to create a box. It is positioned horizontally, while the sides and back panel stand vertically.
Weld the base to the bottom of the back panel and sides in the same way as the top.
Screw brackets to the inside of the side panels to support the shelving. Alternatively, screw drawer glides to the sides to hold drawers in place. Make sure the fittings are horizontal by using a plumb line.
Attach the door using two hinges on each side of the cabinet. Add a lock and door handles if these are included in your design.


Northern Ireland reports eight more Covid-19 fatalities
Two-thirds of 514 coronavirus deaths among those aged over 80, department figures show

Eight more people have died with coronavirus in Northern Ireland bringing the total number of fatalities to 514, according to the latest figures from the North’s Department of Health.
The department also reported on Monday afternoon that 39 more people had tested positive for Covid-19, taking the number of confirmed cases in the North to 4,609.
So far 46,842 people have been tested for the virus in Northern Ireland.
The ages of all but one of those who died are known. Of that 513, 265 were men and 248 were women.
The deaths overwhelmingly are in the 60-plus age group – 343 of the deaths were in the group aged 80 and over; 148 in the 60-79 age group; 21 in the 40-59 group; and one in the 20-39 group.
The Belfast City Council area had the highest number of deaths at 158 while the 10 in the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council area was the lowest number.


A team of European astronomers has a new proposal for exploring Mars: a helicopter drone.
Efforts to survey the Martian landscape have delivered some pretty stunning results. Just last week, the U.S. Geological Survey published three maps and accompanying images showing geological formations that, researchers say, could only be the result of abundant water. But the Curiosity rover can’t take aerial images and its drill broke last December (although it did recently scoop up a handful of sand for analysis).
The astronomers’ drone plan, published recently in Acta Astronautica, is to send a “small Mars system” that includes both a dust analyzer and a drone to the Red Planet. The drone would fly at a low altitude around the Martian globe, snapping pics of the entire surface.
The technology hinges on IRENE, an umbrella-like heat shield developed by the Italian Space Agency. Theoretically the shield will enable the drone to pass through the upper atmospheres of the foreign planet on its way down. The astronomers behind the drone-dust analyzer combo note its small size and low cost as potential advantages compared to other missions to Mars now in development.
Meanwhile, studies investigating the basic necessities for a future human colony on Mars continue. Crowdfunders can support a campaign to fund research about what plants can be safely grown on Mars. That work is led by Dutch biologist Wieger Wamelink, who bears a strangely close resemblance to The Martian actor Matt Damon, as evident in this video posted on Wamelink’s Facebook page dedicated to research about growing food on Mars and the moon. Earlier this month, SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket and spacecraft company, test-fired one of its Falcon Heavy engines, the kind that Musk intends to use for human missions to Mars, followed by colonization within the next 50 to 100 years. And Mars One, a company dedicated to establishing a permanent human settlement on Mars, was recently valued at nearly $400 million by an independent Swiss auditor.
For the near future, though, we must be content with images and samples. This European helicopter drone, while still in the early stages, could bring the best ones yet.

This year Agricola Lodge No 4501 is pleased to support
The Masonic Fishing Charity. The Charity’s aim is to bring an interactive fishing and countryside experience to people with special needs.
It achieves this by running fishing events, both coarse and fly, at various fisheries. Participants are invited from special needs schools and centres; as well as people who have suffered trauma.
The East Kent Branch of the Charity organises 4 such events, at fisheries throughout the Province.
This is far more than just a days fishing though! It enables mentally disabled people to gain in confidence, meet new challenges and achieve tangible results; it helps disadvantaged people and those from harsh backgrounds to renew their confidence by meeting people and interacting with adults from outside their current experience; it helps physically disabled people (including war heroes and stroke victims) to participate and experience something that may otherwise be unavailable to them and it enables the Charity’s volunteers to give something back to the community and have some fun along the way.
The Masonic Fishing Charity is completely run by volunteers and is a non profit making enterprise.
You do not have to be a Freemason to help or take part in their activities.

Hearings Start on Sharing TV Revenue
By WILLIAM C. RHODEN
Published: June 14, 1990
Ever since signing a $1 billion television contract with CBS in December, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has watched its members engage in polite but intense jockeying for a significant share of the freshly baked pie.
Until this week, the discussions have been philosophic. But beginning this afternoon, they will take a harder turn, as the N.C.A.A. holds public hearings in Chicago, San Francisco and Washington to get input from its members regarding how the money should be distributed.
The hearings represent the first step in a process that will end in August. That is when the N.C.A.A. executive committee will devise the final formula for distributing the money CBS will be paying the organization over a seven-year period for the rights to broadcast college basketball and other collegiate championships.
Special Panel Overseeing
The hearings are being overseen by the N.C.A.A.'s Special Advisory Committee to Review Recommendations Regarding Distribution of Revenue.
For all of the early talk about fair distribution, most of those involved concede that the final formula may not be equal.
''A lot of people want the formula to be equal, but I don't really see that happening,'' said Gene Corrigan, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the advisory committee's 15 members. ''What we're after is equitable distribution.''
Last month, the advisory committee proposed 12 general concepts of disbursement and sent a description of the concepts to member schools. The concepts included formation of a trust fund to benefit the N.C.A.A. in general, increased postgraduate and undergraduate scholarships, and financial enhancements, such as increased coverage of transportation and per-diem expenses for Division II and Division III championship competition.
There is general agreement among officials in each of the N.C.A.A.'s three divisions that catastrophic-injury insurance should be provided. There is also general agreement in favor of the Division II and Division III financial enhancements.
Concern About Cheating
A number of Division II officials, however, balked at proposals to increase the rewards of post-season competition. Jerry Hughes, the athletic director at Central Missouri State College and a member of the special committee, said proposals that would significantly increase the rewards for post-season basketball competition might pose problems.
''The concern that I hear around the country from Division II basketball coaches and athletic directors,'' Hughes said, ''is that all we're going to do is possibly bring some of the cheating problems Division I has to Division II.''
Indeed, when the CBS contract was announced, some educators said they felt the increased revenue would increase the pressure to win and consequently cheat. But members of the advisory committee said their goal was a formula that would encourage schools to follow a broad-based approach, in which athletic programs would promote excellence in a wide range of scholarship sports rather than just one high-powered program like basketball ''There was support for money going back to institutions based on a broad-based concept, and what criteria should enter into that concept,'' said Judy Sweet, chairman of the special committee, Another Fear Voiced Some school officials fear that an emphasis on broad-based success, rather than narrow success in one sport, will shift the pressure from the coach to the athletic director.
''As long as we rely so heavily on revenue from athletic contests to fund programs at institutions, there is going to be pressure on somebody,'' said Al Witte, a professor of law at Arkansas and the president of the N.C.A.A.'s executive committee. ''I don't know how you can avoid that.''
Roy Kramer, commissioner of the Southeast Conference, said: ''I believe that we can make a major statement in intercollegiate athletics by the way we distribute this money, if it is properly handled. I think that for the first time, we're really looking at positive ways to distribute the money, based not on the concept of winning in order to balance your budget, but from the standpoint of a commitment to student athletes across the board in your program.
''We're making the statement that 'We're going to play for the trophy.' That's the real purpose of the types of championships we sponsor in the N.C.A.A. We're not doing it in order to enhance the paycheck or the coach's position at the end of the year.''

The production of objects has moved from using analog tools powered exclusively using the hands, to computer-generated output where automated machines perform functions devoid of the human. In terms of contemporary object making, computer aided technology has dominated how we think and make decisions. In the last three years I have been exploring how I can introduce the human hand into computer- controlled environments. Handmade tools have replaced standardized milling bits on a CNC machine in order to complete tasks such as creating a ceramic plate. By having a unique tool only made possible by the hand, the dishes differ from each other even when the program is repeated every time. This methodology has potential to change the craft and design industry, where a hybrid practice can see the benefits of both worlds.
There are three elements to my digital ceramic projects; the tool, the performance, and the object. All three of these elements are crucial to the understanding of a hybrid practice. For “performance” I record videos that illustrate how everything is made, trying to be as transparent as possible. These videos are all archived at www.vimeo.com/adamchauexperiments. All projects can be seen at www.adamchau.com.

Antarctic krill kind the largest biomass swarms on Earth. “You may even see them from area,” says Alicia Burns, a behavioral biologist at Taronga Conservation Society Australia. Krill swarms play an important function within the meals chain and in biking atmospheric carbon into the depths of the Southern Ocean. How these tiny, shrimplike creatures kind and keep large clusters is poorly understood. However Burns and her colleagues describe within the Proceedings of the Royal Society B that distinctive and mathematically predictable social guidelines govern the seemingly chaotic crustacean crowds.
To watch swarming habits, the researchers teamed up with the Australian Antarctic Division’s aquarium in Tasmania—certainly one of solely two amenities worldwide able to elevating krill. There the researchers filmed krill from totally different angles to trace people in 3-D after which statistically decided the patterns of every animal’s actions in relation to its neighbors. “Matching the arithmetic with the biology is the brand new half,” Burns says.
Geraint Tarling, a organic oceanographer on the British Antarctic Survey, who was not concerned within the research, agrees: “That is the primary leap that we have had from a theoretical expectation—what we count on [krill] to do—to an absolute noticed identification of what the behavioral rule is.”
Swarming can assist animals evade predators, discover mates and meals, and journey extra effectively. The brand new research revealed that in forming these clusters, the krill (like many swarming species) adjusted their velocity based mostly on that of their neighbors in entrance—just like a driver in visitors. However not like different species, krill most frequently modified course based mostly on neighbors within the vertical aircraft, swimming towards friends forward and under however away from these forward and above. Ryan Lukeman, a St. Francis Xavier College mathematician who research swarming however was not concerned within the research, says that is basically totally different from what has been seen in fish and birds: for them, “there tends to be little data switch vertically.”
The researchers are nonetheless selecting aside why this is likely to be. Krill eyes level upward, and the animals’ undersides flash with bioluminescence when startled, Tarling says; these traits might assist clarify their vertical focus whereas swarming. Lots of their predators assault vertically, and krill is likely to be watching each other for indicators of incoming hazard. They may even be avoiding vortices produced by neighbors’ paddling, which—not like a fish’s swim technique—pushes water downward and behind.
Burns says the following purpose is confirming that the newly discovered swarming guidelines apply within the wild, utilizing a “krill cam” slung from a buoy. Lukeman says scientists might someday use the foundations to simulate how altering ocean temperatures and currents may have an effect on these essential crustaceans’ capability to stay collectively.

Rohit Sharma's fifth T20 century and Rinku Singh's second half-century led India to score 212/4 in 20 overs. Now, Afghanistan will have to score 213 runs in just 120 balls at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
Earlier, India won the toss, and skipper Rohit Sharma said the Indian squad will bat first.
Batting first, India lost 4 quick wickets to Afghanistan pacers, where Fareed Ahmad dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Sanju Samson. Both Kohli and Samson went to the pavilion for a golden duck.
While Azmatullah Omarzai dismissed Shivam Dube (1). Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh first stabilized the innings and then hammered the Afghan bowlers. Rohit Sharma's (121*) smashed his 5th T20 century, and this has become his highest individual score. Also, with this, Sharma has become the only batter with 5 centuries in T20 cricket. Rinku Singh too scored his half-century (69*), as India scored 212/4 in 20 overs.
Rohit Sharma-led energized Indian squad mulls to sweep the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan after defeating the latter by 6 wickets at Holkar stadium in Indore on 14 January.
India is facing Afghanistan at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Wednesday for the last and third T20 match. The match between India and Afghanistan will be broadcast on the Sports 18 network and will be live-streamed on JioCinema from 7 pm (IST) onwards.
It is expected that the Indian management may make some changes in the playing XI as they are trying to provide opportunities to players who have been sitting on the bench.
On the other hand, Afghanistan will try to salvage some pride in the final encounter.
Before this T20I match, both India and Afghanistan faced each other three times in the T20 World Cups once in the Asia Cup and twice in the previous bilateral series. India have won all five matches.
Definitely, tails up for Afghanistan at the halfway mark. It looks like it will be Avesh Khan who will bowl.

Behavior And Reproduction
Thrips are thigmotactic (THIG-mo-TAK-tik), animals that always seek the security of confined and narrow spaces. Both larvae (LAR-vee) and adults live together. The larvae are young of the animal that must change form before becoming adults. Males of fungus-feeding species will defend a single female or groups of females they have mated with as well as the egg masses they produce. These males will compete with one another for females by flicking their abdomens at one another or by attempting to stab each other to death with spines on their legs. In other species, males form groups, or leks (lehks), that attract females that are ready to mate.
Eggs usually hatch in just a few days. In species that reproduce by mating, males develop from unfertilized eggs. Some species reproduce by parthenogenesis (PAR-thuh-no-JEH-nuh-sihs), a process where the larvae also develop from unfertilized eggs. However, these eggs always develop into females.
The development of thrips is unique. Each larval stage ends with the molt, or shedding of the exoskeleton, or hard outer covering. The first two larval stages are active and feed for 2 to 5 days. In winged species, neither of these larvae shows any sign of wing development on the outside of the body. The larval stages are followed by two or three pupal (PYU-pul) stages. The pupa (PYU-pah) is the stage of insect development when the transition between larva and adult becomes obvious. The pupa cannot walk and does not feed. In thrips, the antennae are very small, and the developing wings can clearly be seen on the outside of the pupa. Depending on species, the pupae are sometimes found on leaves, but most species pupate on bark or in leaf litter.
Thrips found on flowers usually produce only one generation per year, but most species reproduce whenever conditions are good. Pest species usually reproduce all the time, with a new generation developing every few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heat pump replacement near me can be carried out after an examination by experts. Excess Soot, rise in energy bills, frequent repairs, insufficient heating are a few of the signs that make a heat pump replacement inevitable.
In general, a heat pump lasts for about 10-15 years. The number only stands if the appliance receives routine maintenance, service, and repairs. However, performance and efficiency go down considerably after a decade of constant use.
Some heat pumps may even last for 20 years, depending on their frequency of use, geographic location, and of course, the maintenance history.
Average heat pumps last anywhere between 10-15 years with regular upkeep, scheduled maintenance, repairs, etc. Nevertheless, heat pumps are machines and every machine has an expiration date. Their parts erode and running them becomes inefficient.
Some might last two decades and perform well for about 20 years given their location, use, and other factors, but 30 would be an impractical number of years for a heat pump’s operation.
Heat pumps fail to operate or become ineffective at extremely low temperatures, that is, below 4 degrees Celsius. They have to work more to tackle the cold and therefore consume energy.
Heat pumps are also expensive upfront and can incur significant maintenance costs. Customers can save on gas bills unless owners have a green source of energy; their electricity bill goes considerably higher.
On average, heating replacement Ridgefield WA and heat pump replacement can cost anywhere between $5000-$12000. Such pricing depends a lot on factors like the size of your house, ductwork, type of replacement, and the contractor.

Nearly two years after it was first teased, Perfect World and developer Black Wings Game Studio lifted the curtains on Persona 5: The Phantom X, a free-to-play RPG for Android and iOS mobile devices that, at first glance, looks like a gaiden take on Atlus’ iconic game.
The pair of trailers and abundance of concept art and screenshots that accompanied the announcement all point to a game that, for all intents and purposes, feels like more Persona 5. And that’s great!
It seems like there’s a lot to love about P5X. The new character design is immediately striking, which makes sense given that both they as well as their Persona were designed by series vet Shigenori Soejima. I’m also all in on the excellent talking owl named Luffy that seems to be taking on the Morgana role, plus your pal who has heavy Chie vibes.
Tokyo also feels as brimming with life as it did in the proper game. Along with the familiar sights of the rain-soaked streets at Shibuya Crossing, Big Bang Burger, Iwai’s Airsoft Shop, fishing, batting cages, and jamming through Mementos, there are some hints at new adventures as well.
The Velvet Room being an underground tunnel where the roof gives way to a vast ocean is a spectacular sight, and while Igor is back, he’s accompanied by a new attendant who fits right in alongside Margaret and Elizabeth. We also get quick shots of what look to be Palace themes, including a baseball stadium and a nightclub of some sorts.
And of course, one of the trailers ends with a tease of Joker and the Phantom Thieves themselves looking on, though there are a lot of ways this could play out. It could take place in the same world as 5 or Royal (though we don’t see any characters or iconography that points to its incorporating aspects of Royal). It could also be set in some sort of an alternate dimension, much like the Persona Q games were.
Honestly, Persona 5: The Phantom X looks way better than what I envisioned years ago at the prospect of a free-to-play mobile game. In fact, if these trailers had ended with console logos, I think we would’ve believed that the game was a straight-up sequel or side story to P5 to hold us over until Persona 6 or Project Re Fantasy are ready to be shown off.
But here’s the rub – what does the primary gameplay loop of Persona in a free-to-play model feel like? When our owl pal tells us that we’re exhausted and we’ll have to go to bed for the night, will we have to wait a set number of hours to play more, or pay real money for energy points or some nonsense like that? Will the Personas themselves be earned in battle, or will they be randomly obtained via gacha mechanics? Things could go south quickly if these elements aren’t implemented well.
That said, I can absolutely see the potential for a Persona experience on mobile platforms. Given the time-management aspects of the modern installments in the franchise, what if those were translated into the actual time of day? A day in the game would unfold over the course of an actual day, with certain characters, activities, and confidants only being accessible at certain times or even on certain days of the week a la Animal Crossing. If done right, this could be the thing that finally pulls me away from my dangerous Marvel Snap habit.
I could also see social aspects being incorporated into the game, expanding upon what we’ve seen in the franchise before. Persona 4 and 5 already had some passive online functionality, like seeing how folks spent their free time at a given moment in the game, or receiving help during a tough battle. But I could imagine that being taken even further.
Given how collecting mythological creatures already has a heavy Pokémon vibe to it, (Yes, I know SMT predates Pokemon; please don’t flood my mentions telling me that.) being able to trade demons with a pal feels like a given in a mobile game.
At this point, there’s no guarantee that Persona 5: The Phantom X will be released outside of China. Though given Persona’s rising popularity, as well as the sheer quality of these initial trailers, it’d be surprising if the game didn’t branch out across the world. With playtests beginning at the end of March, we should have a clearer picture of what Persona 5: The Phantom X looks like in the free-to-play mold, as well as possibly a clue as to whether or not it’ll be making its way west anytime soon. In the meantime, we always have Luffy.

Electron diffraction pattern of PbS nanoparticles in zeolite X
Optical and structural properties of PbS nanoparticles produced in Zeolite Na-X
The study of semiconductor nanoparticles embedded in a matrix is currently a very active research area. These small particles have physicochemical properties quite different from those in the bulk material. A great variety of semiconductors nanoparticles have been synthesized in different matrix such as polymers, glasses and zeolites with the main purpose to modify their properties by controlling the particle size. Alterations to these properties mean they can be tailored to specific applications in the fields of non-linear optics, photovoltaic conversion, catalysis, optoelectronics, etc.
In this work, published in AZojomo*, by M. Flores-Acosta, R. Pérez-Salas, M. Sotelo-Lerma, F. F. Castillón-Barraza and R. Ramírez-Bon from Unidad Querétaro, Universidad de Sonora and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, PbS nanoparticles were synthesized in zeolite Na-X by means of ionic exchange processes in alkaline aqueous solutions. They reported the optical and structural properties of the system PbS-Na-X zeolite.

The first comprehensive illustrated history of Connecticut architecture
Connecticut boasts some of the oldest and most distinctive architecture in New England, from Colonial churches and Modernist houses to refurbished nineteenth-century factories. The state's history includes landscapes of small farmsteads, country churches, urban streets, tobacco sheds, quiet maritime villages, and town greens, as well as more recent suburbs and corporate headquarters. In his guide to this rich and diverse architectural heritage, Christopher Wigren introduces readers to 100 places across the state. Written for travelers and residents alike, the book features buildings visible from the road.
Featuring more than 200 illustrations, the book is organized thematically. Sections include concise entries that treat notable buildings, neighborhoods, and communities, emphasizing the importance of the built environment and its impact on our sense of place. The text highlights key architectural features and trends and relates buildings to the local and regional histories they represent.
A project of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, the book reflects more than 30 years of fieldwork and research in statewide architectural survey and National Register of Historic Places programs.


Yes, I'm new here. I've had great help at other sites but new to this one. Here's the problem. I have a year old HP Pavilion 700. (also a HP laptop and another older custom built desktop.) I've plugged my PDA and printer into the USB ports and they work fine. And until last week, my flash stick and camera worked fine in the same USB ports. But not now. The PDA and printer still work but not the camea and stick. When I usually plug in the flash stick and camera, I get a window that ask me what I want to do with the devise the drivers recognized. I don't get that message now on the Pavilion desktop. The camera and flash stick work just fine and properly when plugged into the USB ports on the other computers. The HP help desk has been no help. Any suggestions? My OS is XP, the samera is an Olympus C-5000, the flash stick is a 2.0 128mg. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Explore the mangrove fringe of the coastal Everglades in 360 degrees.
What Works Well
This video offers viewers aerial, kayak and underwater views of the Florida Everglades and their mangroves and is also paired with a field guide that asks the audience to follow along with onscreen prompts.
- Agriculture & Natural Resources
- Biological (Life) Sciences
biome, conservation, educational media, environmental health, everglades, fieldwork, florida, mangrove
Level of Guidance
What does this mean?
The Level of Guidance indicates how much the creator has imbued the video with a sense of at what the viewer should be looking.
For instance, a Level 1 video would mean that the camera has been left in place while life happens around it, allowing you, as the viewer, to simply observe. A Level 2 video might incorporate subtle visual, textual or audible hints or simple transitions. A Level 3 video would rely on a handful of hints and transition. A Level 4 video would employ multiple hints and dialogue. And a Level 5 video would rely on all of the above as well as a narrative arc that pushes the viewer forward.
Another way of looking at this would be how much production went into the video if you are considering making one of your own like it.

The UK’s largest business lobby has warned the ‘uncertainty’ of the government’s plans for tackling climate change is discouraging major investments in the effort.
The CBI claims little progress has been made in speeding up the planning process over the last six months, and this is preventing businesses from investing in new low-carbon energy, such as wind, nuclear and clean coal plants.
The organisation has launched its second Climate Change Tracker, which monitors the progress of the government, companies and consumers towards a low-carbon economy over six months.
The CBI said only four of the CBI’s 24 key indicators being measured is on track.
‘Massive private sector investment will be required to get our energy system up to scratch and cut carbon emissions, but delays in implementing the Planning Act are threatening the future of these critical energy projects,’ said Richard Lambert, the director-general of the CBI. ‘Businesses are not going to commit to building the wind, nuclear and clean coal power stations that will be needed to keep the lights on if they think the goal posts are going to get shifted further down the line.
‘That is why we need the government to publish the long-promised National Policy Statements as soon as possible.’
The CBI pointed out that progress has been made to develop new nuclear power and ensure a strong Europe-wide emissions trading scheme, but there has still been no announcement of a competition winner to build a new carbon capture and storage demonstration plant.
The CBI believes the government and businesses need to take action during the next six months to get the UK back on track to build a low-carbon economy and help consumers make low-carbon choices.
‘Progress on meeting our climate change goals has been patchy so far, but we can still get back on track if we take decisive action in the next six months,’ added Lambert.
‘The government will need to take bold decisions to provide certainty and attract private investment, as well as setting out a clear framework and timetable for action.
‘Meanwhile, more businesses need to get their house in order by better managing carbon emissions, as well as by developing more innovative low-carbon products and services aimed at consumers.’
The CBI has proposed that the government should take several specific actions in the next six months. First, the organisation calls for the publication of national policy statements on nuclear and renewables to boost investor confidence and speed up decision making.
The CBI also calls for making energy-efficiency improvements in homes and offices more attractive through new loans and incentive schemes. It believes the government needs to help get a replacement for the Kyoto protocol and progress towards a global price for carbon.Meanwhile, the CBI said businesses need to measure and report company emissions under new voluntary reporting guidelines, while at the same time continuing to reduce emissions in buildings and transport. Finally, the CBI requested that companies help consumers buy low carbon by providing more widespread information about the products and services on offer.

Fannie Nampeyo was born in the Corn Clan home of her mother, Nampeyo of Hano, around 1900. She was the youngest daughter born to Nampeyo and Lesou. The older women of her father's family gave her the name "Popongua" or "Popong-Mana," which means "Picking Pinons." It has been said the name "Fannie" was given to her by either missionaries or health care workers on the Hopi Reservation.
Fannie attended the Polacca Day School, completing her formal education by graduating from third grade. While many young girls in the Hano-Tewa Village area of Hopi grew up learning to make pottery alongside their mothers, Fannie didn't. In her teens she worked at the Hubbell Trading Post as a maid and contributed to her family income that way. She has been referred to as "tempestuous" in those days, and least compatible with her mother. It wasn't until after she married Vinton Polacca in the early 1920's that she began to be interested in making pottery. That was also about the same time her mother was beginning to lose her eyesight due to untreatable trachoma. Fannie worked with her mother more and more, learning to polish from her father and how to decorate and paint from her mother. In those years, if they signed their pottery the signature was simply "Nampeyo," and as Nampeyo herself never learned to read or write, Fannie most likely did all the signing. Later pieces they collaborated on were signed "Nampeyo Fannie" while pieces Fannie made by herself were signed "Fannie Nampeyo" and usually included a Corn Clan symbol.
From the early 1920's until she passed in 1987, Fannie was an outstanding and prolific potter. She most often made jars, cups, saucers, miniatures and bird effigy bowls. Her favorite styles were red and black on yellow and black on yellow. Her favorite designs appear to be the favorite designs of her mother: rain, clouds, feathers, stars and migration patterns. Her participation in the Hopi Show at the Museum of Northern Arizona in 1961 earned her a first place blue ribbon.
After her mother passed, Fannie became the Matriarch of the Hopi-Tewa Corn Clan, as her mother had been. Fannie didn't just make pottery either: she developed a successful tamale business in Keams Canyon and she also made quilts. Fannie taught all of her children to make pottery and several of them excelled at it. All of her children graduated from high school and most went on to college or university.


Following Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, the Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, has spoken out against the beef ban implemented by the BJP run Central Government.
The West Bengal CM said, “The Central Government’s move is encroaching the power of the state legislature and such an act is unconstitutional. We are not accepting that."
The Congress has distanced itself from the protests erupting out of Kerala.

However, BJP has accused Congress of deliberately harming popular sentiment.
Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad responded on the Beef ban row by saying, "Congress activists are playing with public sentiment."
"Such elements who hurt public sentiment by supporting something like the beef ban have no place in the Congress party or the Indian culture. That is why youth Congress activists who were a part of the protest have been expelled", said Randeep Surjewala of the Congress Party.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Minister for Housing, Venkaiah Naidu also spoke out on the nationwide protests erupting against the beef ban.

Raising Girls Who Are Includers
November 09, 2019
Quote of the Week
"When you share love, you defeat hate." -- Andrew Penman
Raising Girls Who Are Includers Instead Of Mean Girls
"I remember walking into the cafeteria of my new school and it was like someone punched me in the stomach. I was in sixth grade. My family had just moved from Virginia to Ohio. At first, I attended the local Catholic school. Within the first two months, I was begging my parents to go to the public school because the girls were so mean. And when I look back, wow, they were cruel. My maiden name is Ackerman. They’d call me “Lisa Acneman” as sixth grade brought with it oily skin and some breakouts. When my parents discerned that I would change schools, I felt relieved. I won’t even tell you about the last day at school there when all the girls knew I was leaving."
This week's feature shares one mom's journey with being excluded by "mean girls" as a child and how this served as a catalyst for her to make a deep shift towards becoming an "includer" and inspiring her own children to do the same. [read more]
Title: UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World
By: Dr. Michele Borba
Stages: School-age onwards
Why? "Teens today are 40 percent less empathetic than they were thirty years ago. Why is a lack of empathy -- which goes hand-in-hand with the self-absorption epidemic Dr. Michele Borba calls the Selfie Syndrome -- so dangerous? First, it hurts kids' academic performance and leads to bullying behaviors. Also, it correlates with more cheating and less resilience. And once children grow up, a lack of empathy hampers their ability to collaborate, innovate, and problem-solve -- all must-have skills for the global economy.
In UnSelfie Dr. Borba pinpoints the forces causing the empathy crisis and shares a revolutionary, researched-based, 9-step plan for reversing it. Empathy is a trait that can be taught and nurtured; Dr. Borba offers a framework for parenting that yields the results we all want: successful, happy kids who also are kind, moral, courageous, and resilient. UnSelfie is a blueprint for parents and educators who want to kids shift their focus from I, me, and mine to we, us, and ours." -- Publishers
Be the Change
This week try to find a teachable moment with your child(ren) to help them cultivate genuine empathy for another -- encourage them to take the time to "walk in someone else's shoes", imagine how he/she is feeling and to consider their own actions in light of this to express genuine kindness towards this person.
