(CNSNews.com) -- Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) said that putting illegal aliens on a path to citizenship would “hurt unemployment in America” on Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
CNSNews.com asked Farenthold, “Do you think that allowing illegal aliens to stay in the United States and putting them on a path to citizenship, would that help the unemployed in America?”
“Actually, I think it will hurt unemployment in America,” Farenthold said.
“As you have, you have folks not lawfully present in the country take the jobs that are available," he continued. "But the real issue right now is the children and what we do with the children. We can’t wait to deal with all the problems of the immigration world. These children can’t wait. It’s dangerous, riding on the top of trains and getting smuggled across the river.”
As CNSNews.com earlier reported, legal and illegal immigrants have experienced improvements in job growth in recent years.
“A new report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) shows that legal and illegal immigrants had the greatest job growth since 2000, with 5.7 million jobs going to non-native working-age (16-65) people,” CNSNews.com reported.
The CIS report titled, All Employment Growth Since 2000 Went to Immigrants, states that three conclusions can be drawn from their analysis: the long-term decline in the employment for natives across age and education levels is a clear indication that there is not general labor shortage, the decline in work among the native-born over the last 14 years of high immigration is consistent with research showing that immigration reduces employment for natives, and over 17 million immigrants arrived in the country in the last 14 years, yet native employment has deteriorated significantly.

High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is something that many people living with diabetes or non-diabetics face regularly. You may feel nauseous, lethargic, and irritable and find yourself extremely thirsty and having to go to the bathroom constantly.
Symptoms of high blood sugar can sometimes feel similar to symptoms of hypoglycemia or very low blood sugar; therefore, it's critical to check your blood sugar before you take action. The Mayo Clinic tells us that a normal fasting blood glucose target range for people without diabetes is 70 to 100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L). Diabetes – Diagnosis and treatment – Mayo Clinic. (2022, August 9). . Retrieved September 11, 2022, from … Continue reading
The American Diabetes Association suggests that a fasting plasma glucose level for those with diabetes be 70 to 130 mg/dL (3.9-7.2 mmol/L) and, after meals, less than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L). Test your blood sugar to see whether your levels are within these ranges, and then treat accordingly.
A host of factors influences your blood sugar. Sheri Colberg, Ph.D., FACSM, says that “Your blood sugars are affected by a large number of things, including what you ate (especially refined ‘white' carbohydrates), how long ago you ate, your starting blood glucose level, physical activity, mental stress, illness, sleep patterns, and more.” Colberg, S. R. PhD, FACSM (2012, February 22). What You Can Do to Stop the Blood Sugar Rollercoaster. Diabetes in Control. Retrieved August 15, 2022, from … Continue reading
Because all of these influencers affect your blood sugar levels, there are many natural ways to lower them. In addition, there are many lifestyle habits that can keep them consistently low.
How to Lower Your Blood Sugar Levels Naturally
Here are some tried-and-true tips and tricks for lowering your blood sugar —backed by research — that can be used in tandem with your diabetes medication.
1. Exercise When You Start Feeling High
When the symptoms arise, or you've checked your blood sugar and seen that your levels are high, exercise can be a fast and natural way to lower your blood sugar instead of using insulin or other glucose-lowering medications.
The endorphins released by your brain and nervous system when you exercise also help you to start feeling better. Engaging in physical activity increases your body's sensitivity to insulin and makes your muscles take in more glucose, so less is left circulating in the bloodstream. Exercise also prompts the heart to beat and the blood to flow faster, using the glucose in your system with enhanced speed.
“An exercise session helps your body metabolize glucose by getting it out of your blood and into your muscles without insulin,” Dr. Sheri Colberg explained to Perfscience.
It's no secret that exercise will help lower blood glucose naturally, which will reverse or erase the effects of overeating carbohydrates or insulin resistance. The regular motion of your body increases your muscles' sensitivity to insulin. Therefore, it will take less time to accomplish the same task whether your body makes it or if you pump it or inject it.
Those claims were supported by a study presented at the 54th annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine. The research concluded that 20 minutes of vigorous exercise four times a week or 30 minutes of moderate exercise three times a week can lower fasting blood sugar levels. Lower Blood Sugar: Learn How with Diabetes Nutritional Supplements & Natural Diabetes Treatments. (n.d.). Retrieved August 16, 2022, from … Continue reading
Therefore, according to this research, regular exercise — not just one-time instances — can improve blood sugar levels overall.
There are precautions to take when working out with high blood sugar, however. Check for ketones in your urine if you have type 1 diabetes and your glucose is 250 mg/dL or above.
If ketones are present, you should refrain from exercising, advised Christy Parkin, MSN, RD, CDE, on Diabetes Forecast. Also, check your blood sugar as you exercise to ensure it doesn't get too low.
2. Stress Less
There is substantial evidence that stress is a critical factor in the increase of blood glucose levels for most people over the long term, according to William Polonsky, Ph.D., CDE, director of the Behavioral Diabetes Institute in San Diego.
When you relax, your body releases chemicals that lower your blood sugar. Conversely, when you're stressed, your body releases hormones that make your blood sugar spike.
A body under stress releases glucose-raising hormones like adrenaline and cortisol because it activates the fight-or-flight mode we use for survival. When you are mentally stressed, angry, or upset, your body may release more cortisol into the bloodstream, which makes your muscles more insulin-resistant.
When you are physically under stress, such as after surgery or because of an injury or illness, you may also experience rises in blood sugar.
In those with type 2 diabetes, mental and physical stress often causes high blood sugar levels. But in those with type 1 diabetes, physical stress usually raises blood sugar, but mental stress can sometimes lower it.
According to the American Diabetes Association in Diabetes Journals, stress makes stored energy — fat and glucose — available to the cells. Surwit, R. S., Schneider, M. S., & Feinglos, M. N. (1992, October 1). Stress and Diabetes Mellitus. American Diabetes Association. Retrieved August 12, 2022, from … Continue reading But in those with diabetes, insulin doesn't always work well and doesn't allow the extra energy into the cells, causing glucose to accumulate in the bloodstream.
In order to reduce controllable stress in your life, learn breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga, or participate in enjoyable, stress-relieving hobbies like reading, playing an instrument, or hiking.
3. Drink Water
Water helps your body flush glucose out of your system and stabilize sugars in the bloodstream. This is such a simple, intuitive action, but many of us need to ingest more water than we do now. The more you drink when you are experiencing high blood sugar, the better. Drink at least two glasses of water, one right after the other.
Many Americans think they are getting enough liquids in the day because they consume sodas (soft drinks), sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit drinks, iced tea, and more. But we forget how many added sugars are in these beverages. American adults consume an average of 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day, with the biggest contributor being soft drinks, which make up one-third of our daily sugar intake.
The American Heart Association recommends no more than 9.5 teaspoons of sugar a day. Forbes also tells us that one 12-ounce can of our beloved Coke has 10 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than two frosted Pop Tarts and a Twinkie combined. Walton, A. G. (2012, August 30). How Much Sugar Are Americans Eating? [Infographic]. Forbes. Retrieved August 15, 2022, from … Continue reading The average American also drinks 53 gallons of soft drinks a year. This is absolutely astounding data!
Don't reverse the beneficial effects of water on your blood sugar by consuming all the sugar found in soft drinks, which will only raise your blood sugar higher.
Being dehydrated can also have adverse consequences on blood sugar levels. A 2011 study published in Diabetes Care pinpointed a hormone called vasopressin that helps regulate water retention and can also affect blood sugar. Roussel, R., Fezeu, L., Bouby, N., Balkau, B., Lantieri, O., Alhenc-Gelas, F., Marre, M., & Bankir, L. (2011, November 14). Low Water Intake and Risk for New-Onset Hyperglycemia. Diabetes … Continue reading
When the body is dehydrated, vasopressin levels rise, causing the kidneys to hold onto water. Simultaneously, the New York Times reported that vasopressin stimulates blood sugar from the liver, which can affect the body's ability to produce or respond to insulin.
Researchers in this study observed over 3,000 middle-aged men and women for nine years, with all participants showing normal blood sugar readings at the beginning of observation.
After nine years, more than 500 had developed high blood sugar, which is a major indicator of pre-diabetes, and more than 200 had developed type 2 diabetes. But, those who drank 17 to 34 ounces of water a day had about a 30 percent lower risk of high blood sugar or diabetes than those who drank less.
There has been much discussion in the scientific community regarding hyperglycemia and the subsequent onset of diabetes, both of which can be prevented or delayed when a diabetic increases their water intake [W-intake].
4. Laugh More
Negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sorrow can raise blood glucose levels. On the other hand, positive emotions like gratitude and wholesome behaviors like laughter may positively affect blood sugar.
A 2003 study conducted in Japan observed the behaviors and glucose levels of 19 patients with type 2 diabetes who were not on insulin therapy and 5 healthy participants over two days. Hayashi, K., Hayashi, T., Iwanaga, S., Kawai, K., Ishii, H., Shoji, S., & Murakami, K. (2003, May 1). Laughter Lowered the Increase in Postprandial Blood Glucose. Diabetes Care, 26(5), … Continue reading
The participants attended a monotonous, humorless lecture for 40 minutes on the first day. On the second day, volunteers participated in a comedy show for 40 minutes.
Researchers discovered that the diabetics' blood sugar was more stable after they laughed. Laughter, they concluded, may suppress the rise in blood sugars in patients with diabetes, possibly through an action in the neuroendocrine system.
They concluded that, according to their findings, “diabetic patients typically need to have opportunities to laugh every day in order to alleviate their symptoms.”
Laughing could also lead to other health and mental benefits like sparking thinking, allowing for greater adaptation to circumstances, and prompting creativity. One study out of Johns Hopkins Medical School even found that laughter during class helped students get better grades on tests. Laughter really is the best medicine — Lower blood sugar, ease pain and boost health with a daily dose of mirth. (n.d.). NaturalNews. Retrieved August 16, 2022, from … Continue reading
So laugh a little more, and stop taking life so seriously.
5. Eat Protein-Packed Food
Protein can be a very effective blood stabilizer because it slows the absorption rate of glucose. Protein also keeps your stomach feeling full longer, whereas foods high in sugar are quickly digested and do not satiate you for very long.
High blood sugar can also spark hunger; therefore, a protein-filled snack can lower blood sugar and satisfy cravings at the same time.
Interestingly, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating a high-protein diet postprandially reduced blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes and improved overall glucose control as well. Gannon, M. C., Nuttall, F. Q., Saeed, A., Jordan, K., & Hoover, H. (2003, October 1). An increase in dietary protein improves the blood glucose response in persons with type 2 diabetes. The … Continue reading
In a study by the National Institutes of Health, protein does not seem to raise blood glucose levels for a number of reasons, including the slow conversion of protein to glucose, the lower rate of protein conversion to glucose and release than previously thought, the hepatic glycogen stores are incorporated with protein glucose. Still, the rate of hepatic glucose release does not increase. Franz, M. J. (1997, December). Protein: Metabolism and Effect on Blood Glucose Levels. The Diabetes Educator, 23(6), 643–651. https://doi.org/10.1177/014572179702300603
Examples of healthy proteins to reduce high blood sugar include turkey lunchmeat, yogurt without added sugar, or an ounce of cheese. Ask your diabetes healthcare professional, such as your CDE or dietitian, for small protein snacks they recommend to lower blood sugar.
6. Avoid Over-Treating Your Lows
If you have diabetes, and especially if you use insulin or some oral medications, you will most likely experience a low blood sugar reaction called hypoglycemia now and then.
It would be best if you treated these lows effectively without over-treating them. Over-treating can lead to high blood sugar, putting you on the blood sugar rollercoaster.
Proper treatment can be easier said than done, as it may be difficult to control what and how much you're eating when you're low.
Plan ahead for hypoglycemia with a set amount of carbohydrates to raise your blood sugar levels, like glucose tablets, hard candies, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of raisins, or ½ cup of juice or non-diet soda.
According to the American Diabetes Association, you should consume 15 to 20 grams of glucose or simple carbs when you are experiencing hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Glucose) | ADA. (n.d.). Retrieved August 15, 2022, from https://diabetes.org/healthy-living/medication-treatments/blood-glucose-testing-and-control/hypoglycemia You should check your blood glucose 15 minutes later to ensure it is within the normal range, 70 mg/dL or higher. Follow the first step again if your blood sugar is still low. When your blood sugar returns to normal, eat a snack if your next planned meal is more than an hour away.
Not only is overcompensating for lows with too much sugar and rebounding to a high bad for your blood glucose, but it can also make you gain weight.
7. Sleep More
The amount of sleep you get affects the release of glucagon and insulin, hormones that regulate your blood sugar levels. Blood glucose increases with the secretion of glucagon and decreases with the secretion of insulin.
As long as you get enough sleep, your body can maintain healthy blood sugar levels during the day. Therefore, sleep deprivation can severely affect blood sugar regulation. The National Institutes of Health says, “Chronic sleep loss, behavioral or sleep disorder related, may represent a novel risk factor for weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.” Spiegel, K., Knutson, K., Leproult, R., Tasali, E., & Cauter, E. V. (2005, November). Sleep loss: a novel risk factor for insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Journal of Applied … Continue reading
“Numerous studies suggest that not getting enough sleep and/or having interrupted sleep may worsen control of diabetes and increase overeating,” said Carol Touma, MD, an endocrinologist at the University of Chicago.
A study conducted between 1996 and 2003 found that people who sleep less than six hours a night have a higher risk of “developing impaired fasting glucose,” according to the study's press release “Short-sleepers” may develop blood sugar abnormality that can lead to diabetes. (n.d.). EurekAlert! Retrieved August 16, 2022, from https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/609540. Damaged fasting glucose levels are a telltale sign of pre-diabetes and a precursor to type 2 diabetes.
Researchers discovered that participants who had normal fasting glucose and slept an average of less than six hours a night during the work week were 4.56 times more likely to have impaired fasting glucose after six years of observation than those getting six to eight hours a night.
Sleep deprivation may also increase free fatty acids in healthy individuals. This inhibits insulin from regulating blood sugar levels and, in turn, can lead to type 2 diabetes, according to another study published in the Biomedcentral. Briançon-Marjollet, A., Weiszenstein, M., Henri, M., Thomas, A., Godin-Ribuot, D., & Polak, J. (2015, March 24). The impact of sleep disorders on glucose metabolism: endocrine and molecular … Continue reading
Just a few nights of poor sleep increased the level of fatty acids in the blood of healthy young men by 15 to 30 percent. When fatty acids stay high, the body's ability to use insulin to regulate blood sugar is impaired.
“The result was a significant loss of insulin's beneficial effects. Consequently, this crucial hormone was less effective,” explained Josiane Broussard, Ph.D., the study's primary author. “Insulin action in these healthy young men resembled what we typically see in early stages of diabetes.”
8. Exercise Before You Eat
Recent research suggests that 20 to 30 minutes of exercise before a meal can help prevent post-dinner blood sugars from rising. A study published in the July 2014 issue of Diabetologia found that “exercise snacks” before main meals may help improve glycemic control in people with insulin resistance. Francois, M. E., Baldi, J. C., Manning, P. J., Lucas, S. J. E., Hawley, J. A., Williams, M. J. A., & Cotter, J. D. (2014, May 10). ‘Exercise snacks’ before meals: a novel strategy to improve … Continue reading
Individuals with insulin resistance can improve glycemic control by doing brief, intense exercise sessions before main meals.
So can you squeeze these exercise times into your daily schedule? We suggest taking your dog for a walk or jogging around the block for 20 minutes. We also suggests taking the stairs at work or while running errands.
You can also lift weights or do crunches or push-ups during the commercials when your favorite TV show is on. Walking or riding your bike to work is another great suggestion.
These behaviors will not only help improve your blood sugar control but can benefit your overall health, including heart health and weight control.
9. Eat Fewer Processed Foods, More Healthy Foods
Your body breaks down white grain and sugar products very fast. You need foods that digest slowly and are full of nutrients your body needs. When your blood sugars are high, stay away from processed foods.
“Anything refined (including foods or drinks made with white sugar, white flour, white rice, white potatoes, etc.) causes big spikes in your blood sugars and can contribute to the blood sugar rollercoaster. They are best avoided or eaten in limited quantities,” Dr. Colberg recommends.
Eat Certain Vegetables
Garlic and onions can help stabilize blood sugars because they contain a chemical that stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, which ultimately lowers blood sugar.
Okra, a green vegetable with edible seeds and is common in Southern cuisine, is full of viscous fiber that absorbs water in the digestive tract and forms a thick jelly-like mass. This mass slows the rate of the breakdown of food and the rate at which glucose in the bloodstream is absorbed, according to Amy Reeder, MS, RD, CDE.
Other non-starchy vegetables, like green beans, broccoli, kale, and spinach, are low in carbs and high in fiber and other essential vitamins and minerals. These vegetables, like potatoes, peas, and corn, also make you feel full longer than their starchy counterparts.
Consume Vinegar Products
Vinegar, such as the commonly used apple cider vinegar, may slow down the rise in blood sugar after meals. The research of Carol Johnston, professor of nutrition at Arizona State University's east campus, has found that two tablespoons of vinegar before a meal, perhaps as part of a vinaigrette added to an appetizer salad, can dramatically reduce surges in blood glucose after a meal.
In her first study on vinegar, Johnston and her team observed 29 volunteers, with one-third of them living with type 2 diabetes and two-thirds healthy individuals.
Her team gave each participant a two-tablespoon vinegar dose or a placebo before eating a high-carb breakfast of orange juice, bagel, and butter. A few days later, they switched who got the placebo and vinegar and gave them the same breakfast.
All of the participants showed better blood sugar readings after meals when they had the dose of vinegar before eating. Johnston claims that the tests showed an effect comparable to diabetes drugs like metformin, especially for subjects with pre-diabetes.
Vinegar can also spark weight loss or curb weight gain, according to another of Johnston's trials.
In a 2001 study conducted at Lund University in Sweden, pickles – cucumbers preserved in vinegar – were found to have a positive impact on lowering blood sugar levels in non-diabetics after a meal.
Their study shows that pickles reduced blood sugar swell significantly after high-carb breakfasts, but regular cucumbers didn't.
Since most people don't like drinking straight vinegar, consider using more vinaigrettes in your salads, eating more pickles or other high-vinegar foods, and incorporating more vinegar into your cooking to help steady blood sugar levels.
10. Take Diabetes Supplements
Supplements can be an excellent, natural way to provide your body with the extra nutrients it needs to balance blood glucose levels successfully.
There are several supplements that are suggested to help regulate blood sugars, and you should discuss them with your healthcare provider before implementing any into your diabetes treatment plan.
Research around diabetes supplements is somewhat limited and/or of questionable quality, so you should proceed with your doctor's advice and with your own caution.
Onion extract may be a helpful supplement to take. One study presented at the Endocrine Society's 97th annual meeting in March 2015 found that onion extract may lower high blood sugar by 50% while also lowering total cholesterol levels. Onion Extract Lowers High Blood Sugar Up to 50%. (2015, March 13). Diabetes in Control. Retrieved August 15, 2022, from … Continue reading
Researchers also found that onion extract enhanced the effects of metformin. Lead researcher Anthony Ojieh, MD, of Delta State University in Nigeria, added that “Onion is cheap and available.”
Chromium is another supplement in the spotlight. A 2006 study found that nutrient therapy with 2 mg of biotin (part of the B-group vitamins) and 600 mcg of chromium (a trace mineral) can significantly reduce blood sugar levels and blood fats called triglycerides in type 2 diabetics in just four weeks. The benefits came even after volunteers drank a glucose-rich liquid. Singer, G. M., & Geohas, J. (2006, December). The Effect of Chromium Picolinate and Biotin Supplementation on Glycemic Control in Poorly Controlled Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A … Continue reading
In a 2008 study, the same therapy was given for 90 days to 447 participants living with type 2 diabetes Albarracin, C. A., Fuqua, B. C., Evans, J. L., & Goldfine, I. D. (2007). Chromium picolinate and biotin combination improves glucose metabolism in treated, uncontrolled overweight to obese … Continue reading. They found that treatment with chromium and biotin reduced HbA1c levels by 0.54 percent — meaning if someone had an HbA1c level of 7.54 percent, it was reduced to 7 percent. High blood sugar levels also fell significantly, especially for those volunteers who were overweight or obese.
Cinnamon is also a popular supplement to help control blood sugar. A 2009 study found that 500 mg capsules of cinnamon taken twice a day for 90 days improved HbA1c levels in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes Diabetes treatment: Can cinnamon lower blood sugar? (2021, March 19). Mayo Clinic. Retrieved August 16, 2022, from … Continue reading. This may be because cinnamon increases insulin action.
Cinnamon may reduce blood sugar by three to five percent, about the level of reduction found in the older generation of diabetes medications, according to Paul Davis, Ph.D., a research nutritionist with the University of California, Davis, who conducted a meta-analysis on cinnamon studies. Davis, P. A., & Yokoyama, W. (2011, September). Cinnamon Intake Lowers Fasting Blood Glucose: Meta-Analysis. Journal of Medicinal Food, 14(9), 884–889. https://doi.org/10.1089/jmf.2010.0180
Cinnamon should by no means replace diabetes medication. Still, it might help decrease blood sugar levels, and the chance of developing type 2 diabetes for pre-diabetics, Emmy Suhl of Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston told National Public Radio (NPR) Aubrey, A. (2013, December 30). Cinnamon Can Help Lower Blood Sugar, But One Variety May Be Best. NPR.Org. Retrieved August 16, 2022, from … Continue reading.
Cinnamon is tasty and inexpensive, but the most common form we find in our local grocery stores, called cassia, may have high levels of coumarin. This naturally occurring ingredient can cause liver toxicity in some individuals prone to it who eat large amounts.
Because of this possibility, albeit rare, some health experts suggest using Ceylon cinnamon instead. Cinnamon capsules for supplements are another great option instead of incorporating cinnamon into your food.
The mulberry extract may also be another helpful supplement to regulate blood sugar Mudra, M., Ercan-Fang, N., Zhong, L., Furne, J., & Levitt, M. (2007, May 1). Influence of Mulberry Leaf Extract on the Blood Glucose and Breath Hydrogen Response to Ingestion of 75 g Sucrose by … Continue reading. In many parts of Asia, type 2 diabetes is treated with mulberries.
Some research suggests that bitter melon, magnesium, prickly pear cactus, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), green tea, and fenugreek are among other supplements that may help blood sugar levels.
There are many different ways to lower your blood sugar levels naturally. You don't have to make drastic changes to your diet or exercise routine.
Many of them include making lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining healthy body weight, reducing stress levels, sleeping well, getting enough rest, eating balanced meals, and drinking plenty of water. These are important steps because they help reduce your risk of developing complications related to high blood glucose levels.
However, there are other factors that play a role too. For example, certain foods can affect how quickly your blood sugar rises after you eat. Some people might benefit from taking nutritional supplements, while others could use medication. This is why it's important to work closely with your doctor. They can recommend the best approach for you.

Immigration policy isn’t just the laws made by the federal government. It is also the actions of lower levels of government with no jurisdiction over immigration in seemingly unrelated policy areas that can shape the lives of immigrants. The city of Brampton makes for a great case study in how municipal policy and federal law mix to create immigration policy at the street level.
Brampton, Ont., the ninth most populous city in Canada, is an immigrant city in every way. Just over a half of the Brampton population were born outside of Canada and three quarters are non-white. Immigration is also what is driving Brampton’s population explosion.
From around 100,000 people in 1976, Brampton grew nearly six times to over 590,000 in 2016. Between the 2011 and 2016 censuses, the city’s population increased by 13 per cent, three times the provincial average. And according to the Brampton council’s projections, the city will hit 761,000 people in 2021 and 889,000 by 2041.
For other cities such growth is a cause for optimism and a catalyst for improvements to housing, public transit and health care. But this has not been the case in Brampton. Housing remains low-density and inadequate to accommodate newcomers, transportation is at risk of being overwhelmed, and the city’s health-care facilities had been overwhelmed long before COVID-19. As a result, immigrants in Brampton are at risk of homelessness, isolation, and being denied health care.
Zoning Brampton’s future
There is considerable discussion on Brampton’s future. The city is engaging in a Comprehensive Zoning By-Law Review. Spurred on by the provincial A Place to Grow Act as well Brampton’s own 2040 Vision, the review is looking at what policy amendments will be needed to bring about the necessary changes. It is looking at nine policy areas, but as progress is slow and population growth continues, there is a risk of the city falling behind the curve.
The notorious developer lobby is also a major barrier to progress. Real estate developer dynasties like the Cortelluccis and the Ciprianos have long been seen as exerting influence over the levers of power. Peter Cipriano was implicated in donating to the 2018 election campaigns of six out of 10 members of council—well above the limit set in the Municipal Elections Act of 1996. In the neighbouring town of Caledon, in the early 2000s, former mayor Marolyn Morrison attempted to curb developers’ clout. When she opposed a development project, her husband was attacked and bloodied in the driveway of their home. Morrison said the attack was related to her efforts.
Despite the above bleak picture, there are plenty of reasons for optimism. Brampton does have elements in place that could make it one of the great cities of Canada. The city’s population is as diverse as it gets. Nearly three quarters of all residents are visible minorities, with South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, Bengalis and Sri Lankans) topping the list.
This is very much a strength alluded to by Toronto-based urban planner Joe Berridge. In his book, Perfect City, Berridge profiles eight cities, including Toronto. He praises Canada’s largest city’s diversity, and he praises government policies that have allowed Toronto’s immigrants to be a valued part of its fabric.
Benefits of skilled immigration…
Thanks in part to Canada’s points system, which favours skilled workers above all other classes of immigrants (albeit Canada does have one of the more generous family class policies), immigrants are selected based on criteria that ensure good economic participation. The results of this policy are becoming more and more apparent.
Last spring, the federal government released a report praising its Express Entry program, a points-based policy that selects immigrants based on skill and language proficiency. The report found high levels of labour market participation among those invited under the program. Since its launch in 2015, 95 per cent of the program’s cohort have become established economically and 83 per cent have reported doing so in their primary occupation.
This success has not gone unrecognized internationally. Time Magazine reported in 2019 that tech companies preferred hiring high-skilled workers in Canada over the U.S. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in its report Recruiting for Success: Challenges for Canada’s Labour Migration System, said that “the overall integration outcomes of the immigrant population in Canada tend to be well above those seen in most other OECD countries, and public acceptance of migration is high.”
It stands to reason that the benefits of Canada’s points-based immigration system, which came into force in 1967, have trickled down to Brampton. Skilled workers selected through the system concentrate in the city, meaning the building blocks are there to turn Brampton into one of the greats in Canada—just as long as the city doesn’t squander the available brain gain.
…reaped by others?
A 2017 study by the United Way of Toronto and York Region paints a dire picture of income inequality in Toronto and the surrounding regions. Brampton is a particularly frightening image. In 1980, Brampton, then with a population of 142,950, had few small low-income pockets, but the vast majority of residents were middle-income earners.
In 2000, as the population exploded to nearly 327,000 people, those pockets appear to have increased. By 2015, low-income neighbourhoods comprised the majority of the city. United Way CEO Daniele Zanotti told the CBC at the time, “Social infrastructure is not keeping pace with need, and so you’ve got a demand of supports close to home and not an abundance of supply.”
The situation is not good for the employed either. A lack of developmental diversity and corporate offices has meant that immigrants have to go elsewhere to work and play. Some 60 per cent of the population works outside the city. This has earned Brampton the nickname of a “bedroom community,” alluding to people only coming home to sleep. While Brampton has a big number of young skilled workers, other cities appear to reap the benefits of its labour pool.
Applying Jane Jacobs’ vision to Brampton
The venerated urban activist Jane Jacobs spoke about what it takes to make cities great in her seminal 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. In the 1950s and 1960s, she fought against the destruction of New York’s Greenwich Village for an expressway. After moving to Toronto in 1968, she vehemently opposed the Spadina Expressway, which would have destroyed the city’s Jewish quarter. Her people-centric ethos is behind her book, which can serve as a guide on how to enable Brampton’s immigrants to reach their full potential.
“Big cities are natural generators of diversity and prolific incubators of new enterprises and ideas of all kinds,” writes Jacobs. It should be noted that when she says “diversity,” she is not referring to diversity of people. She is talking about the diversity of infrastructure, city amenities and services.
One of Jacobs’ core beliefs is the offering of a variety of ways for people from all occupations to make a life in a city. She sees low-density living, like that found in Brampton, as inherently detrimental to people and businesses.
To her, small businesses must “be in a lively city setting where their employees find a range of subsidiary conveniences and choices that they want and need.” She adds that suburban environments are not useful to big businesses because the cost benefits of “suburban land and space are typically canceled by the greater amount of space per worker required for facilities that in cities no single employer need provide.” She saw this pattern in city-life amenities as well as cultural facilities and entertainment.
In this four-part series, NCM will examine in detail three municipal policy areas that are holding its community back: housing, transportation, and health care.

A new study published on 4 January in the journal Science has shown that by constructing new metabolic pathways in transgenic tobacco plants, plant growth can be improved by up to 40 per cent. The researchers from the University of Illinois and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service used a synthetic biology approach ― applying engineering principles to redesign biological processes based on existing biological components ―to develop plants that grow faster and taller.
Improving crop productivity will be crucial to meeting the food demands an ever-increasing global population, expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Boosting photosynthesis is one promising way of increasing biomass per unit of land. All plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, however, the process is not always very efficient. During photosynthesis, Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and sunlight are used to turn carbon dioxide and water into the sugars that fuel plant growth. In October last year, scientists showed that increasing the production of Rubisco in maize (corn) plants can make photosynthesis more productive (2).
However, in staple crops such as rice and wheat, Rubisco often binds to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide resulting in the production of toxic compounds. Plants must then use an energy expensive process called photorespiration to deal with these toxic byproducts, which reduces their efficiency. As it turns out, Rubisco has even more difficulty identifying carbon dioxide from oxygen as temperatures increase, which could pose even more problems for plant growth as global temperatures continue to rise. According to the authors, photorespiration can reduce the photosynthetic efficiency of these so-called C3 crops by 20 to 50 per cent.
During the two-year study, biologists examined the performance of three alternative photorespiratory pathways in field-grown tobacco. The tobacco plant is easier to modify and test than food crop and is therefore often used as a model. The first pathway was based on five genes from the Escherichia coli glycolate oxidation pathway, the second pathway used glycolate oxidase and malate synthase from plants and catalase from E. coli, and the third pathway used plant malate synthase and a green algal glycolate dehydrogenase. By effectively simplifying the photorespiration pathway, the plants were able to save enough energy to boost growth. After testing 1,700 tobacco plants, the third pathway was found to achieve more than 25 per cent increase in biomass.
The study is part of an international research effort called Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE), supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR), and the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID). The programme is aimed at engineering crops to sustainably increase worldwide food productivity by improving the efficiency of photosynthesis.
Although it may take many years, the researchers are hoping to translate these results into useful crops such as soybean, cowpea, rice, potato, tomato, and eggplant. Crops engineered with this photorespiratory shortcut could help meet growing global food demands.

When the topic of climate change comes up, a common refrain is that the melting of icebergs is going to drown us all. This is not true. Even if every iceberg in the world melted, we wouldn’t notice the difference.
Archimedes’ Principle states that an object which displaces a fluid (i.e. a liquid or a gas) will experience an upward force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. If an object displaces one cubic metre of water it will experience an upward force of around 9810 newtons, regardless of what it is made from. If its own weight is greater than 9810?N it will sink; if it is less than this it will float.
The density of ice is approximately 920 kilograms per cubic metre, and the density of seawater is approximately 1025?kg/m3. If a cube of ice with sides of one metre is placed into water it will push down on the water with a force of 9030?N (920?kg × 9.81?N/kg), and the water will push upwards on the ice with a force of 10?100?N (1025?kg × 9.81?N/kg). There will therefore be a net upward force on the ice cube of 1030?N and it will float to the surface. However, the ice cube will not float completely above the surface of the water – some of the ice cube will stay submerged.
The volume of the ice cube that is submerged will be equal to the volume of water that has the same weight as the cube itself, or mathematically:
We can find the volume of the ice that is submerged by calculating:
That is, the volume of the ice that is submerged () multiplied by the density of the water () multiplied by the strength of the gravitational field () is equal to the weight of the ice cube ().
An iceberg, with the submerged portion clearly visible underwater.
Using the data we know, we find that the volume of ice submerged is 0.898?m3. This result applies regardless of the shape or size of our ice cube, so we know that 89.9% of any iceberg is below the surface of the water, and 10.2% is above. People seem to be worried that when the ice melts, this above-surface water will be added to the volume of the world’s oceans. However, this fails to take into account the different densities of ice and liquid water. As the ice melts into liquid water its density increases and thus the level of the water remains the same. You can prove this to yourself very easily: place an ice cube into a glass of water, draw a line at the level of the water, and wait for the ice to melt. The level of the water will not climb above your original line.*
What people should be worried about is not icebergs but ice caps. Ice caps are ice that it sitting on land and therefore is not already displacing water. If this ice melts and runs into the oceans it certainly will increase sea levels.
What people should also be worried about is that the density of water changes with temperature. As climate change increases the temperature of the oceans it will expand, and again sea levels will rise.
Note: This is all based on a mathematical-physical model. When other factors are taken into consideration, melting icebergs may contribute very slightly (about 50 micrometres per year) to an increase in sea level.

Man who tells court all his money went to feed his kids deported for not paying fine
Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — The court has ordered Fina Filiva’a to immediately depart the territory and remain outside of its border for the duration of his probation term, which is five years, after the court found that Filiva’a failed to comply with conditions of his 2016 probation.
Filiva’a, who has been in custody since he was arrested two months ago pursuant to a bench warrant from the court, appeared in High Court last week for his Deposition Hearing, for failure to pay his fine as a condition of his probated sentence.
Filiva’a apologized to the court for his action and begged for another chance to be with his family especially his two young children. Being in prison was a bad experienced for him, and he asked the court to allow him to seek employment and pay his fine.
Defense attorney, Ryan Anderson told the court that Filiva’a was in compliance of all other conditions of his probation, except for paying his fine. He told the court that all the money his client has is spent to feed his two young children; and asked the court to give his client another chance to seek employment to pay his fine, as well as asking for his client’s probation not to be revoked.
The prosecutor echoed the defense’s submission and asked the court to stay any detention terms for Filiva’a, but allow him to do community service for the government to make up for his fine. She told the court that after reading the report, it appears that the defendant did not have enough money to pay his fine.
Before discussing the decision, the court reminded both counsels of two essential things that none of them mentioned during their submissions.
First, as a condition of the defendant’s probation, he was ordered to depart the territory, but that condition was stayed. Second, the court had a hard time finding the defendant when his bench warrant was issued.
Anderson quickly responded to the court, saying that he understands the court’s concerns but asked for another chance for his client. He said that he client had been employed, but unfortunately lost his job.
“Wasn’t that another condition of his probation, he must be employed?” the court asked. Anderson replied, “Yes your honor.”
In delivering its decision, the court stated that after reviewing all the mitigating factors about the case, the court found out that the defendant had been given numerous opportunities to comply with the terms of probation, even staying detention.
“ ... And what we’re finding is a history of missed opportunities that the defendant has inexplicably failed to take advantage of. We also notice from the report that the defendant has paid very little respect … to the court,” the court said.
The court then ordered “the balance of detention shall continue to be stayed, however, condition number 3 of the judgment and sentence shall be implemented forthwith, and that is the defendant shall depart the territory and remain outside of the territory throughout the duration of his probation. The defendant shall be released to the trustee of Probation for transportation to one of the exiting ports.”

Submitted by Leicestershire County Council
Leicestershire County Council has announced that the hugely popular Summer Reading Challenge has moved online this year.
The theme for this year's challenge, which usually takes place across Leicestershire libraries, is Silly Squad.
The aim of the theme is to celebrate happiness, laughter and funny books.
Working online, children will set their own reading target and collect digital rewards as they work their way through their books over the summer holidays.
Children will be encouraged to read whatever makes them happy, either books from home or from the libraries vast array of eBooks. It will be fun and silly while supporting their confidence in reading, in what has been a time of disruption and change to routine.
Councillor Richard Blunt, county council cabinet member for libraries, said: “It’s easy for children’s reading to dip when they are not at school every day.
"During what has been an extended time away from the classroom for many, the Summer Reading Challenge will play an even bigger role in supporting youngsters to read for pleasure.
“A recent survey commissioned by The Reading Agency showed that 45 per cent of young people were reading more during the lockdown and I think it would be fantastic for Leicestershire’s children to keep this up throughout the summer.”
Leicestershire's offer includes a range of campaign titles available on BorrowBox, the library’s digital reading app, as well as interactive animated stories with Spark Arts and the opportunity to contribute to a joke book.
Children can sign up for the challenge at any time throughout the summer here.

THE BEST PREVENTION AGAINST COLD AND FLU!
Good immunity is the basis of good health.

Wednesday, 18th December saw another outstanding event which I feel separates us from our neighbouring schools with respect to embracing our community.
Over 60 local senior citizens joined us for a fantastic four course meal and an evening of entertainment from our Year 7 choir, school band and The Salvation Army. If that wasn't action packed enough, Santa also payed a visit and gave everyone who attended a little Christmas treat.
What stands out most is the sheer number of staff and students that contribute in some way towards the event from the gifts of presents; creation of table decorations; support with driving; serving, cloakroom duties, entertainment, food and last but not least, washing and clearing up.
I would just like to thank everyone involved for helping to spread the Christmas cheer to our community.

Is it Data Lake vs. Data Mesh? Or can they complement each other?
In recent years, the exponential growth of data has led to an increasing demand for more effective ways to manage it. Building a data-driven business remains one of the top strategic goals of many business stakeholders. And while it may seem logical for companies to embrace the idea of being data-driven, it’s far more difficult to execute on that idea.
Data Mesh and Data Lakes are two important concepts in the world of data architectures that can work together to provide a flexible and scalable approach to data management. Data Lakes have already proven to be a popular solution, but a newer approach, Data Mesh, is gaining attention. This blog will dive into the two concepts and explore how they can complement each other.
A data lake is a large and central storage repository that holds massive amounts of data, from various sources, and in various data formats. It can store structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data (e.g. images).
Think of it as a huge pool of water, where you can store all sorts of data, such as customer data, transaction data, social media feeds, images, videos and more. It is a cost-effective and accessible solution for companies dealing with large data volumes and various data formats.
Additionally, data lakes allow teams to work with raw data, without the need for extensive preprocessing or normalization.
Data Mesh is a relatively new concept that takes a decentralized approach to data management. It treats data as a product and is managed by autonomous teams that are responsible for a particular domain.
Data Mesh advocates that data should be owned and managed by the people who understand it best - the domain experts - and should be treated as a product. It means that each team is responsible for the data quality, reliability and accessibility of data within its domain.
This creates a more scalable and flexible approach to data management, where teams can make decisions about their data independently, without requiring intervention from a centralized data team.
How can data lake technology be used in a data mesh approach?
In short, Data Mesh is an architecture where data is owned and managed by individual product teams, creating a decentralized approach to data management. A data lake is a technology that provides a centralized storage solution, allowing teams to store and manage large amounts of data without worrying about data structure or format.
Decentralization in Data Mesh is about taking ownership of sharing data as products in a decentralized way. It’s not about abandoning centralized storage solutions, such as Data Lakes, but about using them in a way that adheres to the principles of Data Mesh.
Data Mesh is all about defining and managing Data Products as a building block to make data easily accessible and reusable for various use cases. Each ‘Data Product’ should be able to provide its data in multiple ways through different output ports.
An output port is aimed at making data natively accessible for a specific use case. Example use cases are analytics and reporting, machine learning, real-time processing, etc. As such, multiple types of output ports need corresponding data technologies that enable a specific access mode.
One technology that can support a Data Mesh architecture is a data lake. The data in an output port for a data product can be stored in a data lake. This type of output port then receives all the benefits offered by data lake technology.
In a Data Mesh architecture, each data product gets its own segment in the data lake (e.g. an S3 Bucket). This segment acts as the output port for the data product, where the team responsible for the data product can write their data to the lake. By segmenting the data lake in this way, teams can manage and secure their own data without worrying about conflicting with other teams. As such, decentralized ownership is made possible, even when using a more centralized storage technology.
While a data lake is an important technology for supporting a Data Mesh architecture, it may not be the ideal solution for every use case. Using a data lake as the only type of data storage technology may limit the flexibility of the Data Mesh platform, as it only provides one type of storage. For example, when it comes to business intelligence and reporting, a data warehouse technology with tabular storage may be more suitable. Another example is when time series databases or graph databases are a better option because of the type of data we want to make natively reusable.
To make the Data Mesh platform more flexible, it should provide the capability to plug in different types of data storage technology. Each of them is a different type of output port. In this way, each data product can have its own output ports, with different types of data storage technologies, geared towards specific data usage patterns.
We have noticed that cloud vendors frequently recommend implementing a Data Mesh solution using one of their existing data lake services. Typically, their approach involves defining security boundaries to separate segments within these services, which can be owned by different domain teams to create various data products.
However, the reference architectures they provide only incorporate one storage technology, namely their own data lake technology. Consequently, the resulting Data Mesh platform is less adaptable and tied to a single technology. What is lacking is an explicit ‘Data Product’ abstraction that goes beyond merely enforcing security boundaries and allows for the integration of various data storage technologies and solutions.
Data management is a critical component of any organization. Various technologies and approaches are available, like data lakes, data warehouses, data vaults, time series databases, graph databases, etc. They all have their unique strengths and limitations.
Ultimately, a successful Data Mesh architecture provides the flexibility to share and reuse data with the right technology for the right use case. While a data lake is a powerful tool for managing raw data, it may not be the best solution for all types of data usage.
By considering different types of data storage technologies, teams can choose the solution that best meets their specific needs and optimize their data management workflows. By using data products in a Data Mesh, teams can create a flexible and scalable architecture that can adapt to changing data management needs.

Petroleum company Caltex is shutting down its Kurnell refinery in Sydney because it says it is no longer financially viable in the face of
competition from big Asian refineries.
Caltex says it will close Kurnell by the middle of 2014, after 57 years of operation, and instead use the facility to import fuel refined
So Caltex shuts down its oil refinery under the guise that its cheaper to import Asian oil, than it is to manufacture it, however it also says (Ten
News interview) that the transition is going to increase prices slightly for the consumer.
So, importing it will be cheaper, but we have to pay slightly more... sounds like the middle mans taking us for a ride.
Why isn't the PM demanding that we keep these 300 men employed and perhaps INVEST the assumed '' extra cost '' into research and development so WE can
refine it cheaper.
.... really, how hard is this sh1t people?
And considering the current world affairs, i think its a great idea to be keeping our domestic production abilities running.. what happens when Asia
goes to Cr@p?
!%_!(%&! you Gillard and Abbott you mindless whimps.. where's your backbone, you aint doing nothing for the Australian people, and your that wicked
your willing to stand infront of the camera and pretend to care with that stupid smirk!
feel better now

We’re the workers at Via 313, Austin’s premier Detroit-style pizza chain, and we’re coming together across all three flagship locations to form our union. We’ve been organizing and standing together for months and are finally ready to win the changes we need. We’ve seen workers across the country, from Starbucks to Amazon, winning their unions. It’s time for us to win too.
Restaurant workers all over this country need profound change—we need livable wages, paid sick time, an end to harassment and discrimination, and the respect we deserve. After years of organizing, we’ve learned that the only way to make that happen is for us to unite and build our own union. That’s why we decided to form Restaurant Workers United — the democratic, worker-led union for America’s restaurant workers. Together, we are changing our industry from the bottom up.
If we’re going to win, we need your help. We’re a working-class movement, and your support allows us to pay for legal advice, organizing resources, and strike funds. Every bit of help counts. Thanks for your support!
