Venice's lagoon pearls
Churches, palaces, museums, art galleries: the treasures of the city of the doges and the islands of the lagoon
A visit to Venice inevitably starts in Piazza San Marco and the district of the same name. A veritable open air drawing room lined with elegant 18th century cafés, visitors are always struck by the immense beauty of piazza's Basilica, its bell tower, and the Palazzo Ducale.
Piazza San Marco - heart of Venice
The foundation of the Basilica of San Marco dates back to 828, year in which the relics of the evangelist were brought to Venice from Alexandria in Egypt. The form of the Basilica is Byzantine, built on a Greek cross plan. Entering the church, we are greeted by a magnificent display of glimmering mosaics.
The bell tower is not attached to the Basilica but rather stands alone, in a corner of the piazza from where it looks towards the sea. The Palazzo Ducale, residence of the Doge and Venice's major political institutions, is, arguably, one of the finest examples of Venetian Gothic architecture.
Venice is not just Piazza San Marco, but rather a whole circuit of picturesque canals and fascinating, monument-filled districts
The district of Castello is named after the fortress built on the island of San Pietro so as to protect the city. Among the streets of Castello we find the Dominican Basilica dedicated to the Saints John and Paul, erected at a strategic distance from the Frari Basilica of the rival Franciscan order.
We continue our exploration of Venice in the Cannareggio district, an ancient commercial district and home to the city's Jewish Ghetto.
Opera and contemporary art: the Fenice and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum
We access the fascinating districts of Santa Croce and San Polo by traversing one of the symbols of Venice: the Rialto bridge.
Just beyond the bridge lies the splendid Church of San Zandegolà, built between the 11th and 12th centuries.
We make our next stop in the district of Dorsoduro, which boasts two important permanent art exhibitions, in the Peggy Guggenheim Gallery of Modern Art and in the Accademia Gallery, the latter housing a stunning collection of Venetian paintings from the 14th to 19th century.
In the immediate vicinity we find Palazzo Dario, built in 1487 by Pietro Lombardo and known as much for the misfortunes to have befallen on its various proprietors as for its unusual asymmetrical form.
Before coming full circle and arriving once more in Piazza San Marco, we take time to visit the Fenice theatre, completely rebuilt according to the designs of the original 18th century playhouse which was destroyed by fire in 1996.
Venice Casino and Film Festival
No visit to Venice is complete without having first explored the islands of the lagoon. Crossing over the canal of Giudecca we come to the islands of Sacca Fisole and Giudecca. This is where the Church of the Redeemer is located, built as a votive temple to bring the devastating plague of 1575-76 to an end.
On the nearby island of San Giorgio Maggiore, we come across the Basilica of the same name, where the relics of Saint Stephan were brought in 1109.
The island of Lido is known not for its churches but rather for its luxurious hotels, its Casino, and for the Venice Film Festival, hosted here each year
The ancient arts of lace-making and glass-blowing
Murano and Burano are famous on a world wide scale; the first for its glasswork and the second for its lace making tradition. Whilst in Murano, we take time so as to admire the Church of Saints Maria and Donato. Burano's 16th century Church of San Martino also merits a visit.
The island of Torcello is famous for its splendid Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, whilst the small island of San Michele attracts visitors wishing to pay homage to the great artists, such as Igor Starvinskij and Ezra Pound, buried in its monumental cemetery.

Bigger trash can merits discussed in budget hearing
Sewer, garbage fee increases likely coming in new Burlington budget
Though it wasn't central to his presentation, Don Fitting brought four garbage cans of various sizes to the Burlington City Council chambers Monday afternoon.
Fitting, Burlington's wastewater treatment plant manager, presented his facility's proposed fiscal 2019 budget as well as Burlington's solid waste budget. The news from the wastewater plant is a proposed 3 percent increase to sewer fees to pay for rising costs and expanding smells, and the news from solid waste is a push for another full time garbage man to balance out turbulence in the department, plus a 25-cent increase to trash fees.
The new cans, however, are a long-term matter up for council consideration. Fitting is recommending an upgrade to using 65-gallon, rolling cans with attached lids throughout the community, a change that would come with upwards of a $2.25 monthly fee increase. Surveys go out to the public with February water bills asking for opinions.
"The budget is built on adding one position, the position that was lost four years ago," said City Manager Jim Ferneau. "It is not built on transitioning to a cart system. If that's something you want to look at, you would need to have some discussion and drive that forward."
The sewer fees hike is to cover a slew of costs, with the biggest capital expenditure an "air scrubber" to help with increasing stink.
As sewer separation work splits more of Burlington's sewers, staff fear the north end of the wastewater treatment plant will grow smellier. In periods of low rain, some nearby citizens are already complaining about the odor. Fitting said he's planned to purchase a $475,000 air scrubber sometime in the coming years, but wants to act now because complaints are already starting.
The trash fee increase is actually a 15-cent trash increase and a 10-cent recycling increase. Both are grouped together under one fee on water bills, but council members spoke Monday about trying to have that changed so bills specify exactly how much goes to what service. The garbage service fees also includes the city's leaf pick-up program and city-wide cleanup.
Fitting wants to add a seventh garbage truck driver to the department, returning the department to its staffing prior to a cut by attrition made a few years ago. The department's turnover rates have dramatically increased since, and it struggles to handle vacations and sick time.
The development and parks presentation, given by the departments' head Eric Tysland, is split. Council members only heard the shorter development budget plan on Monday and will hear the full parks budget Thursday.
Development includes programs that could lead to more money in city coffers, but which need cash to get off the ground. The council, for instance, plans to use $10,000 from local option sales tax revenue on Burlington's new Healthy Neighborhoods program this budget cycle.
"Our ability to improve our housing stock, I think, relies on these types of programs," said Councilman Matt Rinker.


Ben Balter in OpenSource.com: “Open government is great. At least, it was a few election cycles ago. FOIA requests, open data, seeing how your government works—it’s arguably brought light to a lot of not-so-great practices, and in many cases, has spurred citizen-centric innovation not otherwise imagined before the information’s release.
It used to be that sharing information was really, really hard. Open government wasn’t even a possibility a few hundred years ago. Throughout the history of communication tools—be it the printing press, fax machine, or floppy disks—new tools have generally done three things: lowered the cost to transmit information, increased who that information could be made available to, and increase how quickly that information could be distributed. But, printing presses and fax machines have two limitations: they are one way and asynchronous. They let you more easily request, and eventually see how the sausage was made but don’t let you actually take part in the sausage-making. You may be able to see what’s wrong, but you don’t have the chance to make it better. By the time you find out, it’s already too late.
As technology allows us to communicate with greater frequency and greater fidelity, we have the chance to make our government not only transparent, but truly collaborative.
So, how do we encourage policy makers and bureaucrats to move from open government to collaborative government, to learn open source’s lessons about openness and collaboration at scale?
For one, we geeks can help to create a culture of transparency and openness within government by driving up the demand side of the equation. Be vocal, demand data, expect to see process, and once released, help build lightweight apps. Show potential change agents in government that their efforts will be rewarded.
Second, it’s a matter of tooling. We’ve got great tools out there—things like Git that can track who made what change when and open standards like CSV or JSON that don’t require proprietary software—but by-and-large they’re a foreign concept in government, at least among those empowered to make change. Command line interfaces with black background and green text can be intimidating to government bureaucrats used to desktop publishing tools. Make it easier for government to do the right thing and choose open standards over proprietary tooling.”
Last, be a good open source ambassador. Help your home city or state get involved with open source. Encourage them to take their first step (be it consuming open source, publishing, or collaborating with the public), teach them what it means to do things in the open, And when they do push code outside the firewall, above all, be supportive. We’re in this together.
As technology makes it easier to work together, geeks can help make our government not just open, but in fact collaborative. Government is the world’s largest and longest running open source project (bugs, trolls, and all). It’s time we start treating it like one.

The Bhote Koshi Gorge in Nepal is where bungee jumping first became popular. It is now one of the most well-known bungee jumping locations in the world. The gorge is 160 meters high and located near the Nepal-Tibet border. The fact that it is the highest bungee leaping in Nepal as well as the world makes it unique. The Bhote Koshi river, which flows below the jump, will add to your enjoyment.
The jump is made from the world's longest suspension bridge, which is located in Nepal. The bridge was custom-designed by New Zealand's well-known Bungee consultant. Isn't it simply incredible? This isn't it, though. The leap is carried out under the supervision of qualified operators, ensuring that you get the best possible jumping experience. The bridge not only provides a thrilling experience, but it also ensures your safety.
Prepare for the jump by getting in shape and getting ready to experience Nepal's highest bungee jumping. As soon as you look down, you'll notice a decrease in your heart rate. Start counting backwards from 5 and jump. It is one of the world's most stunning jumps. Along with the breath-taking vistas, you'll feel as if you're floating through the sky. You can also approach extremely near to the river's crystal clear water, which is a completely relaxing experience.

Stephen Hawking has announced a groundbreaking theory on the nature of black holes — apparently, things can escape from them after all. "If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up," he said a public lecture in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, the New Scientist reports.
According to the New Scientist, Hawking explained his theory to experts in a meeting. "The message of this lecture is that black holes ain't as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought," he said. "Things can get out of a black hole both on the outside and possibly come out in another universe."
The Wall Street Journal points out that this is an interesting stance for Hawking, who "vociferously maintained that this could never happen" for years. In physics class, most students learn that black holes are like terrifying vacuums — anything gets too close, and it gets sucked into the black hole's gravitational force and is never heard from again.
Now, Hawking believes that the "information" of particles that get sucked into black holes may eventually come back out as radiation. However, the information isn't actually useful at that point anymore. According to the Washington Post, Hawking compared it to "burning an encyclopedia: You wouldn't technically lose any information if you kept all the ashes ... but you'd have a hard time looking up the capital of Minnesota."
NPR notes that this is not the first time that someone has proposed this idea: in 1996, Gerard 't Hooft (who won the 1999 Noble Prize in physics) presented a similar theory. He was not able to prove it mathematically, however, and doesn't seem to be too happy that Hawking is putting forth the theory again. "If he announces this as a new idea," he told the WSJ, "I won't be thrilled."

Rachel Riley is back to work after giving birth to her first child with Strictly pro Pasha Kovalev and proving you're never too young to learn, she brought her infant daughter along to the Countdown set.
The maths whizz posted a photo of her on set alongside her husband holding their two month old daughter Maven in front of the famous letters board, which spelled out part of the tot's name atop her birth date.
"First block back at work done and dusted and I can still sum post baby... phew!" the 34-year-old remarked. "Mave was busy melting hearts and Pash is a hero."
She also joked about the fact that she is still pregnant in episodes of the Channel 4 show currently airing due to them being prerecorded before she gave birth in December.
"The eternal on screen pregnancy has just a month to go! Now back to family time for us, we’re really loving it."
She's been a fixture on the long-running TV show since replacing Carol Vorderman in 2009.
Riley announced the birth of her daughter back in December, revealing they'd named the baby Maven Aria Riley Kovaleva.
While Maven was two weeks overdue, Riley divulged that she ended up coming quicker than they'd anticipated in the end.
"After keeping us waiting she came so quickly we didn’t have a chance to get to the hospital and was born in our bathroom with our amazing doula and wonderful St Mary’s midwives rushing over to be with us in the nick of time!" she told her Instagram followers.
It's the first child for both Riley and Kovalev, who met after she competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013.
They became husband and wife last year when they married in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas in July.

On 9 May 2020, a Christian church in Pakistan’s Punjab province was desecrated in a land grab crime. On 11 May, 21 Hindu homes were set on fire in villages in the country’s Sindh province. In one village, a Hindu woman was sexually assaulted and her family attacked.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan’s 2019 Report states that on average, more than 1 000 forced conversions take place every year.
In Pakistan, not only are religious minorities attacked; they are also denied any government aid in relation to coronavirus.
EU funding to Pakistan under the Development Cooperation Instrument for 2014 to 2020 amounts to EUR 653 million. Pakistan is also a beneficiary of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+).
On 15 October 2020, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), Carlo Fidanza (ECR), Peter van Dalen (PPE), Bert-Jan Ruissen (ECR), Cristian Terheş (ECR) and Joachim Kuhs (ID) filed a parliamentary written question to the Vice-President of the Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.
In the light of his recent statement on human rights in the times of the coronavirus pandemic, MEPs asked the Vice-President of the Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrell to explain “what specific action is being taken to investigate and stop these violent discriminatory practices in Pakistan” and “what justification from the EU allows Pakistan to remain eligible for GSP+ when it has repeatedly failed to comply with international human rights conventions on religious freedoms?”
Finally, the MEPs enquired from the Vice-President of the Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrell on “how his statement will ensure that Pakistan addresses its human rights abuses, including the persecution of religious minorities?”
On 02 December, these questions were answered by the High Representative/Vice-President Borrell on behalf of the European Commission.
In his answer, the High Representative/Vice-President Borrell stated that “freedom of religion or belief (FoRB), including the problem of forced conversions, is among the top human rights priorities of the European Union (EU) in Pakistan and it is regularly addressed through high-level political contacts and constitutes a key element of EU advocacy within the scope of the Special Incentive Arrangement for Sustainable Development and Good Governance as part of the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP+)”. He reported that “the FoRB was discussed extensively at the 5th EU-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue on 3 November 2020”.
The High Representative/Vice-President Borrell said that “being a standing agenda item of the Human Rights Sub-Group of the EU-Pakistan Joint Commission, it was discussed in its latest session in November 2019, and also raised by EU Special Representative for Human Rights Eamon Gilmore with Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari on 27 June 2020”.
High Representative/Vice-President Borrell, as in his many prior answers on Pakistan human rights parliamentary questions, highlighted that “within the GSP+ monitoring process, the Commission sent a list of salient issues to Pakistan in June 2020 specifically inquiring about the adoption process of the Christian Marriage and Divorce Act, and, the implementation of the Hindu Marriage Act and the various Child Marriage Restraint Acts, given that most cases of forced conversion concern underage girls” and “a joint Commission services/European External Action Service GSP+ monitoring mission to Pakistan is planned to take place as soon as conditions allow”.
In closing, he reported that “the EU has recently supported the monitoring of the situation of FoRB and provided legal aid to FoRB cases and strategic litigation under the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR)” and “the EU, both in headquarters and through the EU Delegation and Member States missions, follows closely individual cases and seeks to assist through political advocacy and legal aid”.

Visit to the Jeffrey Smart Building, University of South Australia
26 Nov 2015
Jeffrey Smart , a South Australian who originally wanted to be an architect became an artist who relocated to Italy, and provided outstanding works of art for more than fifty years, so it is appropriate that this stimulating and aesthetically pleasing building has been named after him.
On 4th November 2015 seventy (70) people came to Uni SA to see the modern, integrated services centre housed in the Jeffrey Smart Building which won three major awards in 2015. It opened in 2014 to includes a wide range of services:
• Library (the modern kind)
• Learning and Teaching Unit (including counselling and career services),
• Campus Central (Student and Academic Services),
• ISTS (Information Services and Technology),
• Student Ombudsman and FM Assist (Security and Campus Operations).
In keeping with current approaches, the "Library" provides on-line access to information, a selected range of hard copy books and magazines, large and small meeting places, integrated work spaces and places for individual study.
The flexible spaces are filled with light due to the clever design of the building. The soft furnishings are adaptable and appropriate to the purpose of the spaces and used effectively by a wide range of students who can access the building 24/7 through the use of a swipe card for late night use.
Most areas allow for conversation and for food and drinks to be consumed while the students are working or meeting.
Specific areas have been set up for meetings, lectures, presentations and entertainment including the outdoor cinema where movies can be viewed from a wide range of internal or external areas.
The lawns are a social meeting place and the jacaranda brought in from interstate has survived its interstate relocation and has begun flowering.
Congratulations to the architects: John Wardle and Associates in conjunction with Phillips Pilkington Architects and Hindmarsh Construction.
Thanks to Susan Phillips and to Rebecca Lawson-Cooke, Senior Project Manager - Major Projects, Uni SA for their presentations, and our sponsors Ontera, Wallbridge & Gilbert and Workspace.

Airport Metro starts feeder bus service from today
If you have been using the Delhi Airport Metro Express service from in and around Connaught Place, here’s some good news for you. Now you can avail the feeder bus service from CP to reach the Shivaji Stadium station on Baba Kharak Singh Marg.delhi Updated: Sep 13, 2011 23:05 IST
If you have been using the Delhi Airport Metro Express service from in and around Connaught Place, here’s some good news for you. Now you can avail the feeder bus service from CP to reach the Shivaji Stadium station on Baba Kharak Singh Marg.
Reliance Infrastructure, concessionaire of Delhi Airport Metro Express, will start the free non-AC feeder bus service from Wednesday. To start with, the service will be available at Shivaji Stadium station and will be extended to other stations of the corridor.
“Based on the feedback of commuters travelling by Airport Metro, and after studying locations of various offices in Connaught Place, we have identified the feeder bus route that will provide connectivity to commuters going to Connaught Place for work,” said Lalit Jalan, CEO, Reliance Infrastructure.
“We are also planning to provide feeder bus connectivity at other stations. Talks are already on with DMRC and DTC for providing the feeder service connectivity,” Jalan added.
Each feeder bus with a capacity to carry 50 commuters will generate from Shivaji Stadium station and will connect various strategic locations around Connaught Place. The distance of 5 km around Connaught Place will be covered in 40 minutes and help thousands of office commuters, who use Airport Metro every day, said officials.
The feeder buses will be available between 8 am and 10 am and between 5 pm and 8 pm. Three buses will be in the service to match the train frequency of 15 minutes. The bus timings and number of buses in service will be increased depending on the demand.
Initially, the feeder bus service will be operational for six days a week — from Monday to Saturday. The service will not be available on Sundays.

Today evolved into a most delicious sunny affair which led Kat and I to take a walk through Milton Keynes parkways in the early afternoon. The weather was just too good be left indoors so after a most hearty brunch we showered and made our way into the great outdoors around us.
Along the way we stumbled over a series of monuments at the peak of Campbell Park just outside the city. Each monument was dedicated to a particular person, place or moment in time. One such monument stood head and shoulders above the rest. It was a memorial for Nelson Mandela day, celebrated annually on July 18 to remember the heroics achieved by one great man.
Following the Sharpeville massacre in which thousands of silent protesters were beaten and hundreds murdered on March 21 1960, Mandela became the principle target of the ruling government. After his capture and arrest on November 7 1962 Mandela spent the next 28 years in prison until his release on February 11 1990.
During his time inside Mandela’s name and image were banished from South African society which, in turn led to his immortal status as he secretly led a peoples revolution from the confines of his prison cell. On December 10 1993 Mandela was awarded the Noble Peace prize for his continued fight against apartheid and the suppression of black South African’s. The following year he became South Africa’s first black President, a position he held until 1999 when he voluntarily stepped down from the leadership.
Sadly we lost one of the worlds most powerful and important human beings on December 5 2013. A man who will live long in our memories and hearts for his tireless work to give every human being equal opportunities.

When it comes to enforcement of privacy rules, you can’t hide behind a cloak. That is the message of a recent federal settlement with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The Diocese recently agreed to pay $650,000 to settle potential violations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), relating to the theft of a mobile device containing protected health information for 412 nursing home residents. Take note: We’re talking about a single incident of a stolen device.
The “mea culpa” was in the failure to take measures to prevent such an incident. The Diocese served as a Business Associate, performing IT services for six skilled nursing facilities. But the Diocese had not conducted a security risk assessment to protect the private health information in its care. That translated into the absence of daily procedures to safeguard databases and devices containing health information.
In this and other recent actions, the feds are underscoring an emphasis on holding Business Associates accountable for reasonably protecting private information entrusted to their care.

Watch as the first stage of the rocket returns to flight and then lands perfectly on the deck of the ship named Just Read The Instructions.
The mission of the day was to deliver 10 satellites to low orbit for Iridium, a voice and data communications company. SpaceX eventually plans to deliver 60 more satellites for Iridium’s global satellite constellation.
Aside from the explosion four months ago, SpaceX has been successful at recovering the first stages of the rockets it sends into space, using these drone barges that communicate with the rocket itself to coordinate where it will land. As for why that’s important, TechCrunch explains:
Recovering these stages is key to SpaceX’s mission of bringing down the cost of space flight, which serves its larger goal of making humanity an interplanetary species. SpaceX currently charges around $60 million on average for a launch, which is drastically less than its competitors in the commercial spaceflight industry—but it enjoys only very thin margins on each launch as a result.
Re-using Falcon 9 first stage components for multiple missions would greatly increase its ability to make money on each individual launch, since you don’t have to then build an entirely new rocket every time you want to send something into space. SpaceX isn’t yet re-using the first stage Falcon 9 rocket sections it recovers, but it is studying them to help maximize the efficacy of the recovery process, and it said today that it plans to run its first mission with a recovered rocket stage sometime “soon.”
This is the seventh time SpaceX has successfully recovered a rocket.

Nestle, PepsiCo and McCain Foods are trialling ways of driving down carbon emissions in their British supply chains. Angeli Mehta reports
Agriculture in the UK is on the threshold of change. Post-Brexit, the UK government and the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, want to incentivise more sustainable practices as they design farming subsidy schemes to replace Europe’s Common Agricultural Policy.
Though they are moving at different speeds, all are aimed at cutting emissions, increasing biodiversity and restoring landscapes in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world.
And some farmers are calling on the UK to support the transition to regenerative agriculture in response to spiralling fertiliser and fuel costs in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Multinationals Nestle and PepsiCo have large-scale pilots under way and retailer Waitrose, which owns its own farm, is using it as a test-bed for regenerative practices that will also influence its other producers.
In 2020, agriculture was responsible for 11% of UK greenhouse gas emissions
The UK has experienced a steep decline in species abundance and soil health. A 2019 report from the Environment Agency said intensive agriculture had caused arable soils to lose 40-60% of their carbon content. Its outgoing chair, Emma Howard Boyd, described soil carbon loss as “an act of economic and environmental self-harm”.
While a soil health action plan for England is on the cards, there is no specific target. The government’s advisor, the Climate Change Committee, has urged that this be included “as a priority”, given that soil health is key to meeting all other environment targets.
In 2020, agriculture was responsible for 11% of UK greenhouse gas emissions – can this be reversed and its soils become carbon sinks?
In England, the main mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector, as well as increasing carbon stores, improving biodiversity and water quality will be the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS). One strand of the scheme is the Sustainable Farming Initiative (SFI). Whereas the European Union’s Common Agriculture Policy paid farmers and landowners based on farm size, the SFI will pay for environmental benefits beyond minimum legal requirements. Pilots are under way.
Two other pillars of ELMS will pay for actions in local areas that encourage collaboration between farmers, and bigger landscape scale initiatives such as peatland restoration. The first 22 landscape projects, sharing a £12 million development grant, were recently announced.
Last year, parliament’s Public Accounts Committee criticised the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) for a lack of metrics and baseline measures that will allow it to assess progress of ELMS against net-zero targets.
We buy 1% of the world’s agriculture output, so we have a massive responsibility
The ELMS system, which will pay farmers and landowners some £2 billion a year, won’t be fully in place until 2028.
But finance could also come from companies that are seeking to cut emissions in their supply chains.
Take Nestle. Ingredient sourcing accounts for 70% of the 92 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in its global supply chain (excluding end-use emissions). The consumer goods giant has set a goal of regenerative methods delivering 20% of its key ingredients by 2025, and 50% by 2030.
For Nestle this means grasslands storing more carbon, trees introduced onto pasture land; and regenerative practices such as cover cropping, using organic fertiliser and increasing crop rotations, which will also build climate resilience.
The company has been working with sustainability consultants 3Keel on a Landscape Enterprise Networks (LENs) system, which identifies the businesses working in a landscape, and maps the nature they’re reliant on.
Nestle first explored the approach with its milk supplier, First Milk, and farmers in Cumbria, but it is now looking at its second-largest UK-sourced ingredient: wheat. Water companies and West Northamptonshire Council have joined the initiative. Their interest is in flood management and the impact of fertiliser run-off on water quality. Other potential partners include insurers and housing developers, who will from next year have an obligation to deliver a 10% biodiversity net gain, under the Environment Act.
Potentially, there's this dual income for farmers, which can only be a good thing
“If we get it right,” says Sundaram, “potentially, there's this dual income for farmers (from selling their product and from environmental services), which can only be a good thing, because then it's going to make them much more interested in implementing regenerative agriculture.”
Nestle asked farmers which of a suite of regenerative practices they’d be interested in trialling and what they’d want to earn for those efforts. While a farmer might opt for only one intervention, benefits might accrue to more than one partner, who can then share costs, enabling the whole project to reach more farmers than individual budgets allow. Last year, nearly £1 million was invested, and that’s expected to double in the second year, and involve more than twice as many farmers.
Sundaram is cautious about results, saying: “It’s early days.” Initial data will be in terms of reduction in chemical fertiliser use, or cover crop planting, but longer term he expects that “we’ll be able to say we’ve reduced carbon by X, we’re improving biodiversity by Y and we’ve reduced pollution by Z”.
Another company that wants to boost regenerative agriculture practices in its UK supply chain is PepsiCo, maker of Walkers crisps. David Wilkinson, senior director of European agriculture at PepsiCo Europe, says: “When we were thinking about how to reduce (our) carbon footprint, you're very quickly getting into carbon sequestration, into not using too much fertiliser, and applying it at the right times and incorporating crop residues … and you very quickly start to get into regenerative practices.”
Farmers are sharing practices and coming to the company with ideas, forcing it to think differently, says Wilkinson. One example is improving a crop rotation by building in a legume (such as chickpea), to fix nitrogen in the soil. So “we're starting to look at other ways to reformulate certain products that can take advantage of these crops. That doesn't necessarily mean you define whole new products around a new crop, but maybe dried chickpeas could replace 20% of the potato in potato flakes, for instance,” he suggests.
Another initiative is fertiliser made from potato peelings, which is being trialled with all PepsiCo’s grower groups in the UK. This is the third year of pilots, testing out the impacts of different and targeted application rates. “What we see with our eyes (is) the canopies look good, the crops perform … and applying less (fertiliser) looks feasible,” says Wilkinson. PepsiCo is now building a separate facility to produce the fertiliser for its farmers, using technology from CCm Technologies, a carbon capture and utilisation firm in Swindon.
The complexity is bringing this together in today’s agricultural supply chain
“I can't remember the last time a farmer said they didn't need to change. They all get it,” notes Wilkinson. But “the complexity is bringing this together in today’s agricultural supply chain, thinking more about crop rotations versus individual crops, thinking about how you can introduce the right systems to support people renting land, rather than people perhaps owning land.”
That complexity may explain why regenerative practices are being taken up only slowly. But several coalitions are trying to alter the trajectory.
“If we want to have resilient, productive agriculture going forward, then there's no room for people to take small, incremental steps,” says Lesley Mitchell, associate director for sustainable nutrition at Forum for the Future.
The sustainability NGO wants to catalyse change by bringing together all those working on regenerative agriculture in the UK to create new partnerships, to pull retailers into discussions and explore “new business models that enable regenerative producers to reach consumers, perhaps (through) closer, tighter supply chains.”
“There are many, many, many different explorations and pilots and prototyping going on out there. And it's often quite difficult to join those up, and to see where the key learnings are coming,” she adds.
Mitchell also hopes to crack the nut of what can be shared in a pre-competitive environment. Pilots could take six to seven years, she says, so “consolidating the information that we have, identifying where there is a wider benefit… Do (businesses) have shared supply chains where they can work through their supply chain to create change?”
Earlier this year, the then Prince of Wales asked companies to form an agribusiness task force as part of the Sustainable Markets Initiative, which he launched with the World Economic Forum. Its aim is to create a “scalable value chain blueprint” where lessons learned in one crop can be transferred more widely.
We don't know what the outcome is going to be of implementing all this, we just have to get on the journey
In the UK, potatoes are the target and PepsiCo will work with Canada’s McCain Foods, the world’s biggest manufacturer of frozen potato products, which has also committed to adopting regenerative practices across its potato crops by 2030.
Another key element is in measuring and reporting. The Sustainable Soils Association, which is focused on restoring soil health, is bringing together retailers, manufactures and others to try to find a way to standardise those processes. Nestle is a founding member.
Both Wilkinson and Sundaram are optimistic about the direction of travel. “We don't know what the outcome is going to be right now of implementing all this … (but) we just have to get on the journey,” suggests Sundaram.
What is clear is that the net-zero agenda will tie farmers and the food companies they supply much more closely together.

There are plenty of pigs in Vietnam, and
lots of pork is eaten. A great many Vietnamese dishes require finely
minced meat - the vast majority of which is pork. They also eat pork in
the form of chops and spare ribs, and as slow-cooked stews and a delicious
pate which is quite unlike a Western one. Pork has an affinity with
sweetness, and the Vietnamese use of caramelized sauces proves the point.
Beef is something of a treat in Vietnam. In reality, quite a lot of the
meat that is served as beef is actually buffalo and sometimes venison.
Beef is so highly thought of that there is a special traditional banquet,
called 'Seven Styles of Beef', for which seven completely different beef
dishes are prepared. Unlike any other banquet or formal dinner, these
dishes are presented sequentially, each one enhancing the next.


The competition between Indian telcos is growing fierce by the day. After Reliance Jio and Airtel demonstrated their A-game, other incumbents decided to up the ante as well. Vodafone is a close competitor and the telecom operator has now revised one of its most popular prepaid plan to challenge what Jio and Airtel have to offer.
Vodafone's Rs 349 prepaid plan earlier offered 2.5GB data per day for 28 days along with unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day. But the telco decided to revise the plan and it now gives 3GB data per day along with the same benefits as earlier.
This change gives users 84GB worth 4G/3G data, which is highly recommended for those who consume an extremely high amount of internet on their phones. But Vodafone isn't the only one offering such significant data benefits.
Reliance Jio, which is known for its competitive tariffs and data bundles, offers a similar plan but at a lower monthly rental. Jio's Rs 299 prepaid plan gives users 3GB 4G data per day for 28 days and unlimited calls, and free access to its suite of MyJio apps. A recent market survey by OpenSignal ranked Vodafone below Reliance Jio in terms of overall speed while Airtel dominated the charts.
Since Airtel was awarded the fastest 4G network in India by OpenSignal from December – February period, users looking for a similar plan can find comfort in the range of options the telco offers. For instance, there's Rs 249 plan that gives users 2GB data per day along with unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day.
If users are looking for a plan with higher data allotment, Airtel offers Rs 349 plan same as Vodafone that gives users 3GB data per day along with free voice calls. Considering Airtel has ranked consistently ahead of Vodafone in terms of speed and coverage, Vodafone's new plan may not be a game-changer in terms of gaining new users. But it certainly adds value to the existing users on its network.
In addition to the new plan, Vodafone prepaid customers can choose from other options based on their needs. Check out some tariffs below:
Rs 199 offers 1.4GB data per day, unlimited calls, 100 SMS/day for 28 days
Rs 399 offers 1GB data per day, unlimited calls, 100 SMS/day for 70 days
Rs 458 offers 1.4GB data per day, unlimited calls, 100 SMS/day for 84 days
Rs 509 offers 1.4GB data per day, unlimited calls, 100 SMS/day for 90 days
There's currently no word on other changes to the existing prepaid plans. Stay tuned for updates.

LAWRENCE – Douglas County District Attorney Suzanne Valdez today announced that a jury returned guilty verdicts on one count of felony aggravated burglary, one count of felony aggravated assault and one misdemeanor count of stalking against Lee Andrew Mitchell Pennington, 34, of Lawrence.
Charges stemmed from an incident that occurred in the early morning hours on October 30, 2021, in which Mitchell Pennington followed the victim home and then, while wearing a surgical mask, entered the victim’s home in the 1400 block of Kentucky Street and assaulted the sleeping victim before fleeing.
Police utilized nearby security camera footage, DNA evidence and geo-fencing data to identify Mitchell Pennington, who was not known to the victim, as the suspect in the case.
“I thank the jurors for their service and for securing a just outcome for the victim.” District Attorney Valdez said. “The Lawrence Police and Deputy District Attorney Josh Seiden did an outstanding job throughout this case and our community is safer because of the verdict reached today.”
The State was represented by Deputy District Attorney Seiden. The case was investigated by the Lawrence Police Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Sentencing was set by Judge Amy Hanley for 1:30 p.m. on November 21, 2022 at the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center.
Bond was revoked for Mitchell Pennington, who will remain in the Douglas County jail. Mitchell Pennington faces 38 to 172 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections for his conviction of aggravated burglary, 11 to 34 months for aggravated assault, and up to 12 months in county jail for the stalking conviction.

Tendinopathy and tears of the rotator cuff are associated with hypoxia and apoptosis.
Benson RT., McDonnell SM., Knowles HJ., Rees JL., Carr AJ., Hulley PA.
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of tissue hypoxia and apoptosis at different stages of tendinopathy and tears of the rotator cuff. We studied tissue from 24 patients with eight graded stages of either impingement (mild, moderate and severe) or tears of the rotator cuff (partial, small, medium, large and massive) and three controls. Biopsies were analysed using three immunohistochemical techniques, namely antibodies against HIF-1alpha (a transcription factor produced in a hypoxic environment), BNip3 (a HIF-1alpha regulated pro-apoptotic protein) and TUNEL (detecting DNA fragmentation in apoptosis). The HIF-1alpha expression was greatest in mild impingement and in partial, small, medium and large tears. BNip3 expression increased significantly in partial, small, medium and large tears but was reduced in massive tears. Apoptosis was increased in small, medium, large and massive tears but not in partial tears. These findings reveal evidence of hypoxic damage throughout the spectrum of pathology of the rotator cuff which may contribute to loss of cells by apoptosis. This provides a novel insight into the causes of degeneration of the rotator cuff and highlights possible options for treatment.

By On Apr 29, 2018 Invoice Templates
But, while the design is simple, elegant and fairly uniform, the real kicker of this piece lies in the paper itself. By printing the design onto bright yellow paper that matches the rest of the branding (check it out here), this invoice is given a branded flair and uniqueness that rivals just about every other page on your desk.
Let’s kick this list off with a beautiful, simple, and professional design. This invoice design by Aaron Dickey keeps things sleek by using a super simple page layout, with a muted, calming block of colour and scaled-up type to draw attention to certain points of the design – the title, the nitty gritty numbers/information, and the final thanks.

Free online pamela anderson and tommy lee's sex tape
In the papers, she says: "In the past few months Tommy has embarked on a campaign of threats, harassment and a general lack of cooperation."Tommy's behaviour has deteriorated to such an extent that I am afraid for the emotional well-being of the children while in his care." The papers continue: "Given Tommy's documented violence towards me, for which he was incarcerated, I believe the court should award me sole legal custody of the children."The couple married in 1995 and divorced three years later.
Lee was jailed for four months in 1998 for attacking his wife - an assault detailed in the court papers, where she alleges Lee was jealous of the attention she gave the children.
The remarks came in the shadow of the Golden Globes, where dozens of actresses and actors wore black in a show of solidarity for the Time's Up movement which calls for an end to gender inequality and sexual misconduct.
Anderson did not attend the Los Angeles ceremony but said it was 'great' and 'heartfelt' to see so many stars take a stand.
In London, the problem became so severe that the company has been outlawed by transport agencies. Do you want to automatically post your Mail Online comments to your Facebook Timeline?
The former Baywatch actress accuses Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee of subjecting their children to physical and mental abuse, including an incident in which he allegedly dangled his son in front of his " temperamental" 130lb rottweiller.
The allegations, vigorously denied by Lee, emerged in new legal documents after Anderson filed a court motion to gain full custody rights to their two sons, Brandon, five and Dylan, three.
In the papers, she claims Lee severely beat her as she breast-fed Dylan when he was seven months old; made their children watch disturbing television images of the World Trade Center attacks as well as violent programmes and videos; took their " traumatised" sons on a boating holiday shortly after a young child drowned at Brandon's birthday party, encouraged the boys to swear and call their mother a "freak" after he became jealous of her new relationship with musician Kid Rock.
'You know what you're getting in to if you go to a hotel room, alone,' Anderson told Megyn Kelly last month.
In what appeared to be a jibe at his victims, she said it was 'no excuse' to presume the meetings were safe just because they were set up by agents, a claim which has been made by actresses including Gwyneth Paltrow as they detailed their run-ins with Weinstein.'I just think there's easy ways to remedy that. Earlier, she said she had long learned how to avoid being put in the very situation many of Weinstein's accusers described. When I came to Hollywood, I had a lot of offers to do private auditions and things that just made no sense, just common sense.'Don't go into a hotel room alone. Accusations against Uber and Lyft drivers sexually assaulting female passengers have plagues both companies over the last year.

Comedian Axel Blake and schoolboy environmentalist Aneeshwar Kunchala have secured spots in the Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) final on Sunday after the fifth and last live semi-final show.
Property maintenance manager Blake, who was Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer act, impressed with another quick-witted routine which secured him the public vote.
The comedian from west London joked about life after getting the special buzzer, including how he had to pretend his number was for a Nandos after getting bombarded with calls, and his relatable humorous moments with his partner.
Following the routine, Cowell admitted that he was nervous to see Blake perform again, but said: “I didn’t realise actually how brilliant you are.
“I know people on these shows, we get carried away in the moment saying ‘Oh you’re a star’, but I’m going to say it because I mean it – you’re a star.”
The final spot was tied between seven-year-old Kunchala and singing collective Welsh of the West End, but judges David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden voted to put the young boy through to Sunday’s final.
Kunchala won over hearts with his poetry about the environment accompanied by a video depicting his tale and promised to do an “upgraded” version for the final.
While Welsh of the West End, which is made up of West End performers from Wales, just missed out on a spot following their emotional rendition of You Will Be Found from the musical Dear Evan Hansen.
The show also featured performances from the young quarter of Scooter Boys who delivered a daring routine of tricks and flips to a medley of music.
Following his unexpected audition set up by his family, singer Nick Edwards returned to sing an emotional original song titled Love Is, while IMD Legion, a 36-piece dance crew, delivered a high energy performance.
Matricks Illusion also offered up another routine of shockingly quick outfit and performer changes, but it was not to Cowell’s liking as he gave them the red buzzer as he felt there was “not enough magic”.
The comedy duo of 72-year-old Brian and Krysstal, 58, also failed to impress with their eccentric comedy routine, causing all four judges to press their red buzzers.
Friday’s semi-final show was given a special Platinum Jubilee theme to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
It opened with hosts Ant and Dec revealing a tea party gracing the stage as audience members waved union jack flags.
Walliams also dressed in a blue suit, white shirt and red tie while Holden went all out with a bright red dress and tiara as a Union Jack was draped across her chair.
The show also featured a performance from previous BGT winner Jon Courtenay who made reference to classic British elements in his song.
He was joined by fellow winner Colin Thackery who followed with a song about the nation which he sang alongside The D-Day Darlings, D-Day Juniors, The Chelsea Pensioners Choir and Military Drummers.
Eight other acts have so far made it through to the show’s grand finale after being voted through in the previous semi-final shows this week.
Cowell confirmed there will be an additional “wildcard” act who will join the finalists on Sunday.
The Britain’s Got Talent final is on ITV at 7.30pm on June 5.

To define and analyze the topographical and involutional changes of human Bruch’s membrane proteome.
6.5 mm circular explants of human Bruch’s membrane were harvested from the macula and periphery of 6 young (<50) and old (>65) donor eyes using an excimer laser. Proteins were extracted using an optimized extraction protocol and separated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The differential protein expression were determined by software analysis, subject to in-gel digestion, and identified by Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and electrospray ionization-quadruple time-of-flight MS/MS (ESI-Q-TOF MS/MS). Results were confirmed with Western blotting analysis.
279 different proteins were identified in human Bruch’s membrane. 98 of the proteins were common in all samples; however 16 proteins were specific to macula. Macular samples revealed higher expression of heat shock protein 90 and 86, as well as antioxidant proteins, such as tripeptidyl peptidase, antioxidant protein-2 and superoxide dismutase among others. Aging was associated with the appearance of multiple complement factors (C1q, C3, C7, C8 and Factor H) and fibroblast growth factor in both peripheral and macular Bruch’s membrane. Aged macular Bruch’s membrane revealed significant decrease in hemoglobin beta chain.
Human Bruch’s membrane proteome shows topographical and age-related alterations reflecting cellular events in respective locations. Qualitative and quantitative changes in Bruch’s membrane proteome may initiate and/or augment the cellular pathologies leading to macular degeneration.

I should also mention some accessories you may need with your mattress to optimize your sleep experience:
Box Spring - A sturdy foundation often made of wood that evenly distributes the weight of the mattress so it retains its integrity and also evenly distributes the full weight throughout the bed.
Bed Frame - Usually made of either metal or wood, it's a frame that elevates the mattress off the ground. Sometimes it will require a box spring but many platform bed frames are available on which you can just put the mattress directly.
