In what can only be described as a massive diplomatic victory for India, Masood Azhar has been designated as ‘global terrorist’ at UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee list. Commenting on this big diplomatic success, Syed Akbaruddin, India’s Ambassador to the UN said that big, small, all joined together. Now Masood Azhar has been designated as a terrorist in UN Sanctions list.
However, this diplomatic victory was not a cakewalk for India. India had been trying to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist for quite some time now. But however, so far, China was blocking India’s bids. In a sharp turn of events, China has lifted the ‘technical hold’ on the process which paved the way for this designation. This was not only a major diplomatic victory for India but also marked a radical shift in China’s Pakistan policy.
India never actually settled for less, as far as achieving this objective at the UN is concerned. Post the Pulwama terror attack, there was immense diplomatic pressure on Pakistan to crack down on terrorism emanating from its soil. After China repeatedly blocked India’s attempts at the UN, India negotiated effectively and brought the US and France on board to take up the issue of Masood’s designation as a global terrorist. In fact, the French government had gone on to impose sanctions on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar, including a freeze on his assets. This move had come just a day after China blocked a UNSC move to designate Maulana Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. The move, therefore, came as a signal that China couldn’t really protect Pakistan for very long and it would have to take a tough stance against the JeM chief, sooner or later.
Another signal of support to India’s pursuit of Azhar at the UN had come even as the US took the public vote route over the issue of listing Azhar as a global terrorist. It was being seen as a massive diplomatic push against Pakistan. In fact, it was for the first time that the 1267 Committee was bypassed. This mounted diplomatic pressure on Pakistan, as it became clear that nations across the globe are taking a tough stand against terrorism. At such a point, siding with Pakistan would have entailed heavy diplomatic costs for China.
The ultimate diplomatic breakthrough came for India after Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale’s visit to Beijing last week. The major issue discussed was Masood Azhar. India reportedly shared all details of the evidence against Masood Azhar, including his links to the Pulwama terror attack. This led to China finally coming on board for designation of Azhar as an international terrorist. This diplomatic breakthrough has proved India’s standing at a global level. Pakistan is set to pay heavy costs for exporting terrorism to India.

Authors: Debbie Johnson
Lily McCain is cursed.
With just one touch she can see a person’s future, whether it’s a good fortune or a terrible fate. Afraid of the potent visions she foresees, she distances herself from the world, succumbing to a life of solitude.
But at the touch of a mysterious stranger – who has powers of his own – Lily sees a new, chilling future for herself: one where she is fated to make a terrible choice...
Debbie Johnson is based in Merseyside, where she lives with her family. After a lifetime of retelling other people’s stories through her work as a journalist, she decided to make up some of her own. Debbie won the Harry Bowling Prize in 2010, before going on to complete
, her debut novel.
To find out more, go to:
‘A sizzling debut about goddesses, vampires and rock ’n’ roll. You’ll love Debbie Johnson’s sassy page-turner’
For my dad, who loved reading, and my mum, who always believed I could write.
Wish you were both here.
Lily McCain stood a few feet away from the crowd. She was dressed the same as everyone else – school blazer, knee-high white socks, purple tie – but something about her was different. Had always been different since she was six years old and her parents were killed in a car crash. Even the other kids knew she was odd, and instinctively avoided her.
She was thirteen now, and she’d already experienced a world of pain. The kind of pain that made boyfriends and make-up and the new Britney Spears or Robbie Williams single seem dull and irrelevant. The kind of pain that made it hard for her to enjoy gossip, or friendship, or school trips. Or anything at all.
‘This song is, like, a million years old,’ said Gemma Gardiner, a plump blonde with orange skin from her daily sunbed sessions. ‘So old I bet my dad has it.’
The song in question was ‘Ferry ’Cross the Mersey’ by Gerry and the Pacemakers, and the opening bars were blaring fuzzily from speakers stationed around the boat. The
, en route from the Pier Head to Seacombe in the Wirral. The day was grey, with drizzle slanting horizontally from a thunderous sky on to the bored school-children below.
It was only a river, but it was a big river. So big, thought Lily as she stared down into the churning waters below, that you could almost believe you were aboard some ocean liner, destined for a fresh start in the New World. Which, she decided, spotting a flock of seagulls pecking at a flotilla of old lager cans gathered around the base of the ferry, had to be better than this one.
‘What’s up, weirdo?’ asked Gemma, coming up behind her and giving her a poke in the ribs. ‘Thinking of ending it all? Just don’t expect any of us to jump in after you.’
‘Get lost, Gemma,’ Lily said, looking warily at the small group of girls that had followed their Queen Bee over.
‘No, I won’t,’ Gemma snapped back. ‘I always thought you looked a bit like a ginger witch … maybe we should see if you float! What do your reckon, girls? Should we duck her?’
The crowd behind her tittered uncertainly. Gemma was known for taking things too far. Last week she’d held Penny Fox’s head down the toilet for so long she’d blacked out.
Lily was terrified, but she stared Gemma down, locking gazes, noticing the way her eyelashes clumped together under a mascara overload. She’d obviously avoided Miss McDonough’s traditional morning baby-wipe attack to get rid of outlawed make-up.
Gemma, knowing she couldn’t back down in front of her disciples, reached out to grab Lily’s bony wrist, and twisted it, hard.
Lily jerked in pain, squeezed her eyes shut, and felt that weird thing happen. The weird thing that had started when she was six years old, when Mum and Dad went out to work one morning and never came back. The weird thing where she just … knew stuff. Stuff she shouldn’t know, and stuff she really didn’t want to know. Stuff that made her feel like throwing up. Gemma had touched her – and that was a very big no-no in Lily Land.
‘You need to stop using those sunbeds,’ she said moments later, staring at Gemma’s near-fluorescent face. ‘They’re going to make you sick. They’re going to give you something called melanoma. And they’re going to make you look really old and wrinkly and ugly.’
Gemma dropped her hand like she’d been burned with acid.
‘You’re fucking mental, you know that?’
Lily nodded. Yes, she knew that.
Gemma strutted away, glancing back over her shoulder and giving her the evil eye as she retreated in a cloud of disapproval and the scent of her mum’s Obsession perfume.
Lily shook off the image, as she’d learned to do, and went back to the side of the boat, leaning over and looking down. The off-white froth of the water slapped against the sides of the ferry as they ploughed on to their destination. Gerry continued to crackle on about life and Liverpool.
It was then that she noticed the man over on the far shore. He was distant, but she could see him clearly, like her eyes were superpowered, or she was looking through one of those telescopes dotted along the prom. He was dressed in dirty grey robes; a crucifix swung from his neck as he pulled some kind of small boat back on to land. He was … a monk. Like out of the films, but scruffier. A monk with a fishing boat.
He looked up, met Lily’s eyes, and dropped his wooden oars to the sand. He seemed as shocked as she was, and made a swift sign of the cross over his torso. She could see his mouth forming words as he shouted to the other monks behind him, running towards them and pointing back over his shoulder.
They were the only people there, on the shore. And there were no buildings, either; no dock wall or buoys … no ferry terminal, no factories, no terraced streets. No flotillas of lager cans. None of the stuff that should be there. None of the stuff that had been there moments ago. Just the water’s edge, trees in the distance. And the monks – about five of them now – running round their boat, all staring and pointing at Lily, a small, skinny figure at the side of the
As quickly as she saw it all, it disappeared. She blinked her eyes, stared harder: they were gone. The monks were gone. And the buildings were back where they were supposed to be, solid and grimy and grey behind the sheets of rain.
Gerry had skipped a few verses. He was on to the chorus, telling anyone willing to listen how much he loved this land.
Lily felt a rush of heat to her cheeks – felt what she could only describe as a blurring sensation in her brain – then fell to the floor, wet red hair straggling over her face.
‘Miss!’ yelled Gemma. ‘Miss! Lily’s thrown a whitey!’
My name is Lily McCain, and I’m a music writer for a newspaper. You might conclude from that information that my life is a roller coaster of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Well, one out of three ain’t bad, as the old song doesn’t say. And tonight, it was rock and roll. Again.
I drained the final few dregs of my beer, but kept hold of the bottle. I didn’t want anybody offering to buy me a new one. I’d had enough already, and my feet were feeling pleasantly fuzzy in my boots, toes tapping to the heavy bass beat of the band on stage. The Dormice.
They were, I’d been told, the Next Big Thing. They were going to be Bigger Than The Beatles. In my head, I always give these things capital letters: they are catchphrases I hear again and again. Along with There’s Never Been Anybody Like Us Before, and We Can’t Be Pigeonholed. As an arts reporter for the
, they are words that have been repeated to me a million times.
Also capitalised in my mind are the other phrases, the ones that go with them: Actually You’re A Bit Crap, You Sound Just Like The Beatles, and Please God Send Me Some Earplugs. Then there’s my personal favourite: You’ll Be Driving A Taxi In A Few Years’ Time.
Lily McCain, girl reporter. So young – ish – and yet so cynical. Still, at least this lot could play. The punk ethos is all well and good, but after the hundredth time listening to sounds that resembled cats being tortured with toasting forks, it’s a drag.
I’ve heard some wonderful music over the years. Soul-searing acoustics, heart-pumping rock, and even some Scouse cowboy-folk. In some cases, it was a privilege to be there at the beginning. But I’ve heard even more terrible music. If I had to do a pie chart on it, there’d be a huge chunk of mediocre, a sliver of great, and a fat wedge of awful.
The awful is made up of music that has sledgehammered my brain and violently assaulted my ears. In fact, I have the ears of a ninety-year-old, even if the rest of my body hasn’t yet reached thirty. But those ears were here tonight to do a job: to review the band in question for my weekly pop page in the paper. I’d try not to be too harsh: they were all seventeen – young, dumb and full of strum.
Music is a nasty business, and the Liverpool scene has its fair share of sharks swimming in melodic waters, but these guys were too young to know that yet. So I’d give them their write-up; give them a few hyperbolic words to send off to potential managers and record companies. Make their mums and dads proud. Mums and dads that were there that night, in the Coconut Shy, taking snapshots and beaming at their talented offspring.
I stood alone near the bar, far from the madding crowd. I don’t like being too near to people. Don’t like them touching me without my permission. Don’t like the uninvited brush of their skin on mine.
All of which makes my choice of profession quite an odd one, as I spend vast amounts of time in nightclubs, theatres and crowded gigs. But there is safety in a crowd: a certain anonymity that appeals to me. Some people know who I am, and will try to latch on, but it’s easy to keep my distance. I can make fake friends to chat to over a beer, share an occasional cigarette with outside in the rain, but whom I never have to see in the real world. It’s that type of environment. There is a high turnover of potential fake friends: young kids in bands who split over musical differences (The White Stripes would
kick Nirvana’s ass), students who grew up and moved on, the ‘businessmen’ who soon shifted their cash to more reliable investments.
You can be best friends one day, and they’ve moved to Prague the next. Which is fine by me. I’m weird that way. In fact, I’m weird most ways.
The band finished off their final song, the cute singer with the floppy hair doing a spectacular scissor kick off the stage. He won’t be trying that move in ten years’ time. Assuming he hasn’t popped his clogs from a drug overdose by then. Again, cynical, but I’ve seen it a few too many times. Even a hint of success brings a hoard of yes-men, all desperate to service your every depraved need. And showbiz types, I’ve learned, are needier than most.

Because the kneeling or sitting in protest during the national anthem, Colin Kaepernick was set on fire in 2016 and escalated to come to be a controversial national topic. Many an ext professional football players, small high students, or sporting activities stars in other sports also refused to stand up for the national anthem. This demonstrations created controversy and also prompted a nationwide conversation around protesters’ statements and also how they wanted to supply them.
You are watching: Pros and cons of kneeling during national anthem
report this adPros
1. Pays attention to inequality: Although world strive to reflect equality in America, plenty of minority teams in the nation do not have equal civil liberties to peace and prosperity. Kneeling or deciding no to take it a was standing for a nationwide anthem is without doubt a way to carry further fist to human being in the communities, throughout the press, or even in the righteousness system.
2. Honor among those who have protected the nation: when Kaepernick began his protests because that the an initial time, he determined to stay on the bench beside the Gatorade containers prior to revealing anything. He instead shifted to a kneeling element of the actions since using it was much much more respectful to military veterans and also their families than the of staying sitting.
3. Tradition: Athletes native the joined States used the position to make their influence mostly on each day’s policies. Tommie Smith and John Carlos lifted a black strength gesture from the podium at the 1968 Olympic Games, i beg your pardon expelled both native the rest of the game and also threatened both to execution.
4. People’s Consciousness: there’s too much turmoil happening on transparent the world today, however it isn’t really comforting because we, together a world, need to band with each other unity. This protest raises the public’s knowledge of those going on throughout our world. The NFL players want our human being to begin together rather than moving against one another. That why players save kneeling till the injustice, inequality, and brutality the cops come to an end.
5. The method to support for justice: The just position whereby everyone deserve to find any compromise is the require for justice. Both parties space standing, seated, or kneeling since they want a fair outcome. Each human being wants an chance to go after life, liberty, and happiness v their endure in you. That is simpler to recognize solutions by reaction to exactly how each party would need to tell.
1. Kneeling and also not standing transparent the nationwide anthem seldom happens at home: That crucial point is one that regularly drives debate on whether or no to kneel or decide not to stand. Although over there are human being that speak those who space standing when the nationwide anthem theatre on TV when they’re home, numerous citizens shouldn’t.
2. Ineffective way: The lack of standing for a national anthem is likewise an ineffective way of fostering a purpose
3. Refusal will certainly stand because that a national anthem is alienating U.S. Citizens: Refusal will certainly stand for a nationwide anthem is alienating U.S. Citizens and also creating department in the community—most Kaepernick pan friends-well, not much more fan friends-burn the jersey to show their opposition to the behavior. A clip of a flame jersey post on on facebook says, “He claims he’s oppressed by make $126 million. Well, Colin, that’s also another welcome because that everyone.
4. Kneeling or refusing to stand sheds irradiate on inconsistent police policies: The truth of gyeongju violence in the United claims is perplexing and also contentious, however it tho exists. An African-American is arrested ~ above robbing hospital devices charges because he was walking external with the IV connected. After all, security police officers reported the he had been trying to leave with it.

Roy Carruthers - "The Couple", 1999


Today in History: The Rolling Stones make their live debut
On July 12, 1962, The Rolling Stones made their live debut to the world.
Lead singer Mick Jagger was known to play at Marquee Jazz Club in London with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, the club’s house band. But when The Blues Incorporated were offered a slot on BBC Radio’s Jazz Club program that night, Marquee owner Harold Pendleton had to find new entertainment for the evening.
Jagger persuaded Pendleton to allow his new band to perform, and the rest was history.
The band was billed as The Rollin’ Stones and featured Mick Jagger on vocals, Keith Richards on guitar, Elmo Lewis (Brian Jones) on guitar, Dick Taylor on bass and Mick Avory on drums.
The band chose their name after a Muddy Waters record and were paid £20 for the gig.
The setlist included traditional blues covers:
"Kansas City" (Wilbert Harrison)
"Honey What’s Wrong" (Billy Fury)
"Confessin’ The Blues" (Chuck Berry)
"Bright Lights, Big City" (Jimmy Reed)
"Dust My Blues" (Elmore James)
"Down The Road Apiece" (Chuck Berry)
"I Want To Love You" (Charles Smith)
"I’m A Hoochie Coochie Man" (Muddy Waters)
"Ride ‘Em On Down" (Robert Johnson)
"Back In The USA" (Chuck Berry)
"I Feel A Kind Of Lonesome" (Jimmy Reed)
"Blues Before Sunrise" (Elmore James)
"Big Boss Man" (Jimmy Reed)
"Don’t Stay Out All Night" (Billy Boy Arnold)
"Tell Me That You Love Me" (Fats Domino)
"Happy Home" (Elmore James)

I really loved our time in Kauai. We had a great mix of days at the beach/hotel pool along with some really fun outings around the island. One fun activity that was recommended to us by members of the Bebe Voyage Community on Facebook, was to download an app called Shaka Guide. The app has several driving tours that sync up with the GPS on your phone. We tried a couple while we were on our trip and really enjoyed them (even our oldest liked listening to them as well). One that we followed took us up through Waimea and over to a couple lookouts over the Na Pali coast.
Russian Fort Elizabeth
One quirky stop that our app recommended was the ruins of an old Russian fort. Very little is left today (besides all the wild chickens, of course 😉), but you can climb up where it used to be and our app itself told us all about the little story behind the fort.
Red Dirt Waterfall
One of our first stops in the canyon was the coolest waterfall surrounded by tons of red dirt. The dirt is actually full of iron and is oxidizing, giving it a vibrant red color. The waterfall is easy to spot along the road with a few spots to pull over and park so you can check it out. Make sure to cross the street carefully (the waterfall will be on your left as you drive up the canyon) and then it’s a fairly easy walk up to the falls itself.
Iliau Nature Loop
There are tons of hikes in Waimea Canyon! Being super pregnant and having two little ones definitely limited what we could do though. On our original drive up the canyon, we actually left a bit late and weren’t quite as prepared as we should have been (the only food you’ll find is at a little fruit stand at the main canyon lookout), so we skipped several of the recommended stops to make sure we were back in town in time for a late lunch. A couple days later, the girls spent a nice morning with their grandparents while Aaron and I finished up our Shaka Guide tour on our own. This time around, we made sure to stop at the Iliau Nature Loop, a quick .3 mile walk just past the red dirt waterfall. It had beautiful views of the canyon! It was definitely an easy walk and one that our girls would have also enjoyed. There were plenty of little plaques describing the different plants and while not much was in bloom during our visit in early February, it sounded like it would have lots of flowers in the late Spring/early Summer.
Waimea Canyon Lookout
The main viewing point of the canyon is Waimea Canyon Lookout. This is where you can also buy fresh fruit for a snack and freshen up in the public bathrooms. The views here are fantastic! One can really see why this is considered the “Grand Canyon” of Hawaii. Beautiful waterfalls can be spotted in the distance and the red dirt is striking next to all the green. Of course, while we didn’t try it, you can also view the canyon by helicopter.
Pu’u O Kila Lookout
When we were with the rest of our family, we turned around after the main lookout and headed back in town for lunch (we had some fantastic shrimp). However, when Aaron and I finished the tour a few days later, we drove another 30ish minutes until we reached Kalalau Lookout and then over to Pu’u O Kila Lookout, both of which offered stunning views of the Na Pali coast!
According to our Shaka Guide, a local legend says that a giant named Puni would carve the mountains while waiting for his friends, the menehune, to visit him. Unfortunately, the giant died before he finished and so now it’s up to visitors to look at the mountains to see what they think Puni was carving.
The lookout also boasts that it is one of the wettest places on on Earth (although, ironically enough, it was incredibly sunny on our visit). We really enjoyed the views, although parents should be aware that there are areas of the viewpoint that are not fenced at all and children would need to be closely watched.
Lunch in Waimea
Pu’u O Kila lookout is the end of the road so one must turn around at this point. Both drives through the canyon ended with us grabbing lunch in Waimea. When it was just Aaron and I, I grabbed Thai food and Aaron grabbed a Beef Dog from Porky’s. While my Thai food was perfectly acceptable, Aaron definitely won for best meal in Waimea with Porky’s! It was fantastic and I definitely recommend stopping there for a bite to eat! There are also a few vendors right in that same area there selling different jewelry and things that were neat to check out (we ended up getting a necklace for me and my in-laws got us a cute quilt for our baby on the way).
Using a driving tour app was definitely a unique way to check out part of the island. We loved hearing the history and legends as we drove along and there were plenty of stops where we could stretch our legs and see some sights. Waimea was a beautiful area and I highly recommend visiting it!

100 But in order that we might gain complete information, we ascended to the summit of the neighbouring citadel and looked around us. It is situated in a very lofty spot, and is fortified with many towers, which have been built up to the very top of immense stones, with the object, as we were informed, of 101 guarding the temple precincts, so that if there were an attack, or an insurrection or an onslaught of the enemy, no one would be able to force an entrance within the walls that surround the temple. On the towers of the citadel engines of war were placed and different kinds of machines, and the position was 102 much higher than the circle of walls which I have mentioned. The towers were guarded too by most trusty men who had given the utmost proof of their loyalty to their country. These men were never allowed to leave the citadel, except on feast days and then only in detachments. nor did they permit any 103 stranger to enter it. They were also very careful when any command came from the chief officer to admit any visitors to inspect the place, as our own experience taught us. They were very reluctant to 104 admit us – though we were but two unarmed men- to view the offering of the sacrifices. And they asserted that they were bound by an oath when the trust was committed to them, for they had all sworn and were bound to carry out the oath sacredly to the letter, that though they were five hundred in number they would not permit more than five men to enter at one time. The citadel was the special protection of the temple and its founder had fortified it so strongly that it might efficiently protect it.
105 The size of the city is of moderate dimensions. It is about forty furlongs in circumference, as far as one could conjecture. It has its towers arranged in the shape of a theatre, with thoroughfares leading between them. Now the cross roads of the lower towers are visible but those of the upper 106 towers are more frequented. For the ground ascends, since the city is built upon a mountain. There are steps too which lead up to the cross roads, and some people are always going up, and others down and they keep as far apart from each other as possible on the road because of those who 107 are bound by the rules of purity, lest they should touch anything which is unlawful. It was not without reason that the original founders of the city built it in due proportions, for they possessed clear insight with regard to what was required. For the country is extensive and beautiful. Some parts of it are level, especially the districts which belong to Samaria, as it is called, and which border on the land of the Idumeans, other parts are mountainous, especially (those which are contiguous to the land of Judea). The people therefore are bound to devote themselves to agriculture and the cultivation of the soil that by this means they may have a plentiful supply of crops. In this way 108 cultivation of every kind is carried on and an abundant harvest reaped in the whole of the aforesaid land. The cities which are large and enjoy a corresponding prosperity are well-populated, but they neglect the country districts, since all men are inclined to a life of enjoyment, for every one has a natural tendency towards the pursuit of pleasure. 109 The same thing happened in Alexandria, which excels all cities in size and prosperity. Country people by migrating from the rural districts and settling 110 in the city brought agriculture into disrepute: and so to prevent them from settling in the city, the king issued orders that they should not stay in it for more than twenty days. And in the same way he gave the judges written instructions, that if it was necessary to issue a summons against any one 111 who lived in the country, the case must be settled within five days. And since he considered the matter one of great importance, he appointed also legal officers for every district with their assistants, that the farmers and their advocates might not in the interests of business empty the granaries of the 112 city, I mean, of the produce of husbandry. I have permitted this digression because it was Eleazar who pointed out with great clearness the points which have been mentioned. For great is the energy which they expend on the tillage of the soil. For the land is thickly planted with multitudes of olive trees, with crops of corn and pulse, with vines too, and there is abundance of honey. Other kinds of fruit trees and dates do not count compared with these. There are cattle of all kinds in 113 great quantities and a rich pasturage for them. Wherefore they rightly recognize that the country districts need a large population, and the relations between the city and the villages are properly 114 regulated. A great quantity of spices and precious stones and gold is brought into the country by the Arabs. For the country is well adapted not only for agriculture but also for commerce, and the 115 city is rich in the arts and lacks none of the merchandise which is brought across the sea. It possesses too suitable and commodious harbours at Askalon, Joppa, and Gaza, as well as at Ptolemais which was founded by the King and holds a central position compared with the other places named, being not far distant from any of them. The country produces everything in abundance, 116 since it is well watered in all directions and well protected from storms. The river Jordan, as it is called, which never runs dry, flows through the land. Originally (the country) contained not less than 60 million acres-though afterwards the neighbouring peoples made incursions against it – and 600,000 men were settled upon it in farms of a hundred acres each. The river like the Nile rises in harvest- time and irrigates a large portion of the land. Near the district belonging to the people of 117 Ptolemais it issues into another river and this flows out into the sea. Other mountain torrents, as they are called, flow down into the plain and encompass the parts about Gaza and the district of 118 Ashdod. The country is encircled by a natural fence and is very difficult to attack and cannot be assailed by large forces, owing to the narrow passes, with their overhanging precipices and deep ravines, and the rugged character of the mountainous regions which surround all the land. 119 We were told that from the neighbouring mountains of Arabia copper and iron were formerly obtained. This was stopped, however, at the time of the Persian rule, since the authorities of the time spread 120 abroad a false report that the working of the mines was useless and expensive, in order to prevent their country from being destroyed by the mining in these districts and possibly taken away from them owing to the Persian rule, since by the assistance of this false report they found an excuse for entering the district.

I'm 95% positive that whatever is causing my nitrite spikes is because of my fake plants (had a topic going a few days back, trying to get as many answers as I could from more experienced betta caretakers). I was really hoping it wasn't, but after all the little tests I've done over the past week and a half, it seems to be so. My plastic rock and a plastic log I have do not cause nitrite spikes, and have had a steady 0ppm whenever I've tested them. Even when they're in with my fish. By having a few crested java fern in there, I can balance out the nitrites coming off of one fake plant, but if I add two, they spike again and I have to remove them.
My larger tank is far from cycling, and if I have more than just java fern in the occupied tank, the plants start to die off. I've lost a few water wisteria stems, and all of my compacta. They're perfectly fine when in the cycling tank (which still has high levels of ammonia). So... I don't know what to do. My betta has a large hollowed out plastic log to hide in, if he wants, but he's so bored. He does a lot of glass surfing, and I don't know what I can do to keep him interested without risking high nitrites by adding back in my fake plants. Every once and a while I'll have him chase an onion bulb that is growing in the tank, as it gives him exercise, and he flares at it. But I can't do it all day. Otherwise, the only thing that seems to get him to stop surfing is me being by the tank and actually doing something (like making food).
For the record:
- I have plastic and silk, and both cause nitrite spikes
- My tap spikes to 1.0ppm after 4 or 5 days of sitting around, but having live plants in with the conditioned tap, there is no spike.
-- My fake plants seem to accelerate the spike, and can reach 5.0ppm in 24 hours.
To answer any other questions that might be asked:
- I have a 6.6 gallon tank that is cycling and has some live plants in it. The live plants are in there instead of the occupied tank because there's not enough nutrients, and they die off rather quickly.
- My betta is in an unfiltered but heated 3.0 gallon critter keeper with a plastic log and two crested java fern
- I use API stress coat as a water conditioner, and have been using recommended dosage of AQ salt as he's either missing a scale on his head, or has a slime coat infection. I'm thinking missing scale, but that's beside the point.
- There is no gravel/substrate, and no filter, so there's really nothing for nitrifying bacteria to cling to, and I'm 99.9% positive my 3.0 gallon is not going through a mini-cycle. And I will not cycle this tank, so don't even bother suggesting it. He's in this tank so I don't have to put him through a fish-in cycle while the bigger tank is going!

Related Gets Tax Breaks for Willets Point, Hudson Yards Projects
The New York Industrial Development Agency yesterday approved tax breaks for the Related Companies’ projects at Willets Point and Hudson Yards.
Related and Sterling Equities, the company’s partner in the Willets Point development project, will receive state and city benefits totaling over $50 million. That figure includes $27.9 million in property-tax abatements and a further $14.7 million in mortgage-recording-tax waivers from the city.
The IDA voted 12-1 with one abstention in favor of the exemptions. All agency benefits are outlined ahead of time with the understanding that they then need to be approved by the agency’s board, according to an agency spokesperson. The benefits for the Related and Sterling Equities were outlined in the contract of sale for the land.
As reported by The Commercial Observer, the city’s Economic Development Agency, the IDA’s parent, agreed last month to sell 23 acres of land to Queens Development LLC, a joint venture between Sterling Equities and Related Companies, for $1. The plot of land, which borders the New York Mets’ Citi Field, is the target of the developer’s $3 billion development plan.
Related Companies was approved for an additional $76.5 million in property-tax exemptions to redesign a 49-story tower in Hudson Yards, according to Bloomberg News. The IDA voted 12-0 in favor of the exemption with two abstentions.
When reached for comment, an agency spokesperson could not immediately confirm the value of the Hudson Yards tax exemptions.
In October, the IDA approved a $328 million tax exemption for Related’s 80-story North Tower and connecting retail center at the Hudson Yards site. The exemption, outlined in the 2006 Hudson Yards Uniform Tax Exemption Policy, will see Related benefit from a 40 percent abatement on property taxes at the development site for four years. The taxes will then begin to phase back in through the 19th year of the abatement.

In accordance to the European Union energy policy that promotes Renewable energy sources utilization and combined Heat and Power (CHP) projects, a cogeneration plant has been implemented in Ano Liosia Landfill, 7 Km from the city of Athens. Construction and operation of the CHP plant is included in a series of rehabilitation measures that have been taken for the specific landfill. Produced biogas from the landfill is being utilized in heat and power production. Landfill gas is entrapped by a collection system consisting of vertical wells and horizontal pipes grid that transfers gas to the CHP plant, where it is converted to enough power to cover the needs of a town of 15,000 inhabitants. Plant operation started in 2001 and it consist of eleven mobile cogeneration modules. The cogeneration plant has a total of 13.8 MWe installed capacity. Approximately 110 GWh of electricity are annually produced and they are supplied to the electricity utility distribution grid. Moreover, steam and hot water are produced by heat recovery from the flue gas. Annual total heat production capacity ia about 16.5 MWth. In this work, operation experience from the Ano Liosia CHP plant is presented.

Posted: 14.09.21 at 12:22 by Belinda Ryan, Local Democracy Reporter
Macclesfield: Jodrell Bank has applied for planning permission to alter a Grade II listed building to improve the visitor experience.
The observatory at Lower Withington wants to carry out internal and external alterations to the Park Royal Building, which is on the south side of the site.
A heritage statement submitted to Cheshire East Council by the University of Manchester detailing the proposals states:
“The works to these buildings are part of a new masterplan strategy which will extend the visitor experience to the south side of Jodrell Bank Observatory.
“The south side holds a collection of buildings, historically used for conducting science experiments and other university related activities.
“The visitor experience, via guided tours, will allow the public to interact with and appreciate the rich history the south side has to offer.”
According to the document the Park Royal Building requires minor modifications to improve the function of the building due to the relocation of equipment from other buildings, and also be suitable for site visits on the guided tours.
The work includes the removal of some internal partition walls, doors and frames.
The building is a single-storey hut which was used as a control room.
It was built in 1949, with a small extension added in 1963-64, to house scientific apparatus, laboratories and research offices.
It was listed in July 2017 because of its historic significance as one of the earliest, purpose-built auxiliary buildings at the observatory, built as the control building for the 218ft Transit Telescope.
It was then adapted for use as the control building for its replacement, the Mark II Telescope, the first telescope in the world to be controlled by computer.
The applicant states: “The proposed work will have no negative architectural impact on the building and only seeks to adapt spaces to improve the function of the building and improve accessibility for staff and visitors to appreciate the history of the site.”

text: Changing the canon — or even a proliferation of canons, as literary studies has fractured into a collection of increasingly well-defined subfields — takes us only so far. Readers are finite creatures, capable of making their way through only a tiny fraction of the millions of books published over the centuries. The problem, at this sort of scale, has less to do with canonical selection bias than it does with our inevitable ignorance of nearly everything that has ever been written. It’s one thing to claim that a particular book was influential in its day (though influence is a tricky matter, more sociological and economic than literary) or that a text has been treated as important in subsequent scholarship. It’s something else entirely to argue that the same book is “representative” of a genre’s or an era’s output, especially when even the best-informed critics have read almost none of the material in question.

Since first launching Papa Don’t Preach in 2010, Shubhika Sharma Davda’s fans have skyrocketed gaining attention from bloggers across the globe like Miss Malini and Rhea Gupte with features in Vogue India and Elle. Davda’s collection fuses traditional South Asian style with groundbreaking innovations making her a highly coveted designer.
Featured on Bangles & Bungalows, I spoke with Shubhika about her label Papa Don’t Preach, which is breaking barriers and creating a space for rebellious risk takers who want to showcase sexy, yet adventurous moods via bold wardrobe choices. Her designs challenge global fashionistas & brides to think outside the box.
Shubhika, tell me about your roots.
This may sound off tangent but this one is for the parents. Observe your child before you pack them off to bharatnatyam classes and cricket coaching classes. What a child does early on, in those empty spaces during the day, is where her natural talent lies. As we grow old, we stop listening to ourselves, and start to let the noise of the outside world in.
In my youth, I made clothes for Barbies and glued fabric onto their feet for cool shoes. I cut off pockets from my six-pocket cargo pants, attached a string and wore them as a sling bag to school.
What drew you to fashion as a career?
After university and internships, I had an opportunity to buy out a local tailoring shop that was deeply in debt. My dad helped me make my first business acquisition. And at the age of 19, I owned a tailoring shop with three tailors and onemasterji (pattern cutter), and there was no looking back.
Post-graduation, my best friend looked after my shop for a year while I studied at the London College of Fashion. In 2008 I returned to launch Papa Don’t Preach, combining my two loves, music and PAPA.
Your Fall/Winter 2014 show, “Frozen”, was described as magic on the catwalk. I saw a mix of style icon Emma Watson and quirk goddess Luna Lovegood walking down that runway. What do you hope viewers take away from this collection?
Thank you for the use of magic! I do love that word so! In Frozen, I was inspired by our innate need as humans to freeze all things precious in a moment of perfection. This collection is a glimpse into the secret worlds bubbling inside of some seemingly simple girl’s complex imaginations.
It’s a wonderfully snow-clad place, which lies tucked away, behind love-locked gates. It shines, bejeweled with all things precious and moments dear to her. Be it a lover’s rose, mummy’s soft kisses or marathon journeys along rough roads; these precious memories all reside here, enshrined as glorious mementoes, frozen into a state of exactness.
When it comes to fashion, what’s in is out quicker than a blink of an eye. How do you stay ahead of the curve, regardless of trends, with your brand?
One enters into fashion or any arts field because of an intense need to create. Driven by this need, ever-changing fickle trends become irrelevant.
Yes, it is important for a business owner such as me to respect the value of trends, as they are what drive the sales. We absolutely do that here at Papa Don’t Preach. BUT one cannot get consumed and deviate from the core and what makes you/your label unique. And a creator always enjoys the challenge of coming up with what’s new. It is the natural fuel that drives us.
Name three people dead or alive you dream to see head-to-toe in Papa Don’t Preach.
Sonam Kapoor, Gisele Bundchen and Kangana Ranaut.
FOR THE BRIDES
Brides are always looking to break the mold with their wedding dress. What kind of bride shops Papa Don’t Preach bridal couture and why do your gowns make waves?
We are not essentially a brand that makes gowns for brides. We like to mix quirk, add interesting color, and keep it traditional in this modernized world. The wedding day is the one ‘get away free’ pass day where brides indulge in tradition head to toe with élan and we repot that. We use interesting cuts and embroidery techniques with classic and simple silhouettes in lehengas and sarees.
For a woman who prefers to dress more modestly, but does not shy away from fashion, what pieces from your collection do you recommend?
We recommend the wrap dhoti saree with embroidered tabs. It flatters all desi body types. Also the wrap dhoti skirt with a peplum top.
Drama – good or bad?
Always and always good!! Here at Papa Don’t Preach this is our motto: “IF you LOVE DRAMA, FASHION & LOVE you LOVE Papa Don’t Preach.”
How can we shop Papa Don’t Preach in North America?
You can shop from our website: www.papadontpreach.com
For custom orders, email us: email@example.com
We will also soon be available on amazon.in and perniaspopupshop.com

So how does one get self-esteem or a feeling of self-worth? Where does it come from?
It all depends, doesn’t it. Your boss may define your self worth in one way. While your wife or your husband or family may define your worth in a very different way. In a culture increasingly dominated by people born after 1980 — the millennials — worth may be defined based on appearances or having innovative ideas or on being “millennial-like.” Those of us in the baby boomer generation often are fighting to preserve a sense of worth by staying fit and flexible, eating right, boosting our 401-K’s, and basically fending off the effects of old age at every turn.
Books, articles, and blogs are written about how to develop one’s sense of worth, but I wonder if any of them have lasting value. I’m sure some do. They encourage us to learn to love ourselves. But how, prey tell, does one love oneself if he or she is already feeling unlovable? This makes no sense to me. I recall those silly Saturday Night Live skits where the comedian sat in front of a mirror mimicking the words, “I’m special, I’m lovable, and darn it – people like me!”
I am guilty, myself, of misplacing my sense of worth from time to time. I used to think that if I had the right job or the right relationship or worked out just the right amount of time, that I would gain a sense of self worth. While these methods work temporarily, I can tell you that, after many attempts at these ego-centered solutions, my research says conclusively that they do not work!
So what does work, we ask?
Consciousness. Consciousness, alone, is the sole lasting solution to the challenge of self-worth.
My Methodist heritage and my training as a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist teach me the same thing. There is an inner wisdom instilled in us from the moment of our conception that resides within us until the time we die. John Wesley used an unfortunate, linguistically difficult term for this: “Prevenient Grace.” Jung taught the existence of a Divine or Sacred Self that is constantly working silently in the background to shape us and to develop our felt sense of worth. The problem is not that we have to find our self worth — it’s more that we are rarely encouraged in our culture to look within to locate its source. To actually become fully conscious is a lifetime task, and it’s not really for the weak of heart. Consciousness requires effort, awareness, and usually a spiritual guide, a compassionate therapist, or a guru to help bolster my courage along the way.
For example, if I am truly conscious, then there may be those in my circles of influence who will disapprove if I am not working so hard to please them. Or if I am being consciously aware of what is going on in my selection of relationships, I may begin noticing whether this or that relationship is actually healthy for my soul. Is it the right timing? Am I carrying too much of my share of the relationship load? Is the relationship a good balance of communicating and responding to each other’s needs, or do we spend enormous amounts of energy avoiding any hint of a conflict — choosing to remain unconscious? Or it may be a job that puts pressure on me to stay unconscious, to avoid what is truly in my heart, to follow the crowd, or just get a paycheck. This kind of situation is a prescription for loss of soul and loss of one’s sense of health and meaning and spirit.
You see, consciousness is about values — inner values. Values connected to the way you and I are within ourselves, and how we express those values in the ways we live and work. And values are connected to our emotions: sadness, longing, desire, pleasure, pain, anger, joy, shame, and fear. Our emotions are designed to be like a compass that guides us through life, steering us away from the rocks and guiding us to what makes our souls sing the songs they were meant to sing. Consciousness brings with it a certain amount of felt anxiety, to the extent that we are refusing to simply adapt to others’ values. But consciousness also breathes into us the joy of self worth and living a life that is completely worth living. Not a life without failure from time to time; but certainly a life that has loads of meaning, heart-felt experience, and a fair dose of adventure.
You hit the mark, John. This work is not for the weak of heart, you will certainly meet with disapproval, but there is a deeper support system in place that “breathes into us the joy of self worth.” We are called to be the only person we can be…our own wonderful selves.
Easier said than done, right. As conscious a person as I think I am most days, I am still learning about places in my life where I have been unwittingly unconscious — which is both humbling and hard, but also liberating.

by Beth Hammarlund
It’s no secret that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been killing it in the fashion world. But what’s still pretty amazing is that they’ve actually earned the respect of the fashion world. An insular club that’s notoriously dismissive of celebrity lines, the high fashion community’s respect is almost impossible to earn. Take Christian Siriano. A remarkable talent, the designer’s post-Project Runway career seems to be permanently stuck under a reality TV/celebrity glass ceiling. But the Olsens, whose timeline started in a sitcom and then came of age in the tabloids, have been awarded the coveted 2012 CFDA Designer of the Year Award for Womenswear.
Though they have no formal design education, the Olsens received years of on-hand design experience when they started their own clothing line for Wal-Mart while they were still children. Obviously, they weren’t designing and constructing clothes, but they were included in the design process as much as possible, and they seem to have immersed themselves, absorbing knowledge along the way.
In 2007, the Olsens founded the Row while on the quest to make a couture quality t-shirt. Named after Savile Row, they described the brand as “discreet luxury, focusing on clean lines, fine fabrics, and the perfect fit.” It was certainly hard to argue with any of those claims. Everything they produced was simple and extraordinarily well-made, though it seemed focused on a very small demographic. Their leather leggings were gorgeous and soft as silk, but the designs were clearly aimed at young women, and the number of young women who can drop $500 on a t-shirt is pretty small. However, they kept things small at the beginning, focusing their energies on only a few department stores and boutiques while they grew their new brand and their new reputation.
With the Row comfortably releasing stylish, but hardly groundbreaking pieces, the Olsens debuted Elizabeth and James, their slightly lower-priced contemporary line. Named after their siblings (Elizabeth, who seems to have the majority of the family’s acting talent, garnered raves last year for her role in Martha Marcy May Marlene) and a balance of masculinity and feminity, the diffusion line took inspiration from the designers’ own wardrobes, while incorporating trends that would be too out-of-place at the Row.
They have since released a third line, Olsenboye (named after the original form of their last name), a line for juniors available exclusively JC Penney. Though the line does not accurately reflect what the designers are capable of, it makes a cute alternative to junior discount fashions at Target and Kohl’s. They celebrated the launch by sending out a cupcake truck in New York, and the brand’s website is painfully cute. But despite the launch of a new line, their hearts still seemed to be mostly in The Row.
Wisely and unpredictably, the Olsens evolved The Row so that it would be just as appealing to older women as well as twenty-something starlets. They made the visionary choice of bringing in Lauren Hutton as the face of the brand. Hutton’s always been one of my favorite models, with her beachy hair and gap-toothed grin. Her can-do Katherine Hepburn-esque persona combined with her choice to age proudly and gracefully transformed not only the fashion community’s perception of the line, but of the Olsens as well.
Since then, the Row has expanded to include handbags that are modern, retro, and classic all at once, as well as sunglasses the would make Linda Farrow proud. The clothing become more forward-thinking, but retains the timeless nature for which they strive. They have also started the lower-priced Textile: Elizabeth and James and Stylemint (surely inspired by Kate Bosworth’s successful accessories line with her stylist, Jewelmint), an online boutique that sells a rotating collection of tees designed by the Olsens, for $29.99 each.
And now the pair have a CFDA award. I can’t imagine where they’ll be in ten years, because I’m pretty sure they can accomplish whatever they set their mind to.
