A food waste "catastrophe" is being created by the horse meat scandal, experts have said.
Findus has confirmed that 180,000 of its lasagnes have been withdrawn from sale after they were found to contain up to 100 per cent horse.
Tesco spaghetti bolognese is the latest food to be linked with horse meat
Tesco would not say how many packs of its spaghetti bolognese had been taken off the shelves in the latest scare to emerge, but the Food Standards Agency said the total stock cleared from the shelves would be "millions of units".
An FSA spokesman said the unwanted products would be "destroyed".
The Key Products Recalled:
- Findus beef lasagne: 320g, 360g and 500g portions
- Aldi: Today's Special frozen beef lasagne and Today's Special frozen spaghetti bolognese
- Tesco: Everyday Value spaghetti bolognese
- Tesco: Everyday Value eight-pack of frozen beef burgers; Tesco four-pack of frozen beef quarter pounders and Flamehouse frozen chargrilled quarter pounders.
When horse meat was first found in Tesco beef burgers in January, 10 million products were withdrawn from sale.
Food writer and author Rose Prince said: "It is a catastrophe, made so much worse by the scale of it all.
"If this was a small butcher caught putting meat into a pie and not labelling it properly, it would be just as bad, but not a catastrophe in terms of the environment and waste.
"This shows how out of control it is. There's not much you can say except it's terrible and made much worse by the scale.
"At some point, somebody's got to say that we have to localise the supply."

Echoing statements made in Parliament last week, while speaking on Observer’s Big Issues, St Marys ‘ North MP said the time has come for victims to be given consideration.
Although no provision is given in the Offences against the Person Act 2013 for families of murder victims to be compensated, Molwyn Joseph believes the time is ripe for the issue to be addressed.
In keeping with his suggestion, he aired tremendous concern on the added burden left on the widower of Suzanne Powell. The woman was gunned down at her work place in Heritage Quay earlier this year.
To add more weight to his views, as he spoke on the radio show yesterday, Joseph said the man convicted of the murder of Monique Ramsey is now free and gainfully employed.
Without reservation, Joseph stated that Ronald Gederon should be made to pay the family of the deceased in the future.
Gederon a Trinidadian pilot was convicted of murder in 1995. He received a lesser sentence following a court of appeals application and walked free in August of 2012.
Joseph also shared his opinion on the proposal made to have sentences reviewed; specifically teenagers convicted of murder.
He opined that all teenagers do not develop the same way. “Depending on their social backgrounds, some are hardened criminals by the age of 16,” he said; suggesting that they should not be dealt with in the same manner.
Based on international standards, Antigua & Barbuda does not pronounce the death penalty or any pre-determined sentence on murder convicts below the age of 18. They are held at the Queens’ pleasure at Her Majesty’s prison.
The recent debate is also seeking to have detention fully directed by the judiciary.
And with the prevalence of gun related crimes, the opposition MP stated that murders committed by the gun should be put in another category. He suggested that once a gun gets into the hand of a criminal, he has the intention to kill.

I’m so excited – I’ve come up with a really yummy version of my favourite flourless nut cake, and it’s completely dairy free and gluten free and naturally sweetened… and very moist and delicious too!!! I’ve given it the ultimate taste test – I took it to a church supper and gave some to the teenage boys – they are VERY suspicious of anything ‘healthy’ – especially if it is dairy-free, gluten free and contains no refined sugar. They actually came back for seconds and thirds, and it dissapeared in no time! Afterwards I thought that was a pretty silly thing to do, because now they won’t be so wary of my ‘health food’ and next time there won’t be much left for the adults! 🙂
This is such an easy recipe if you have a Thermomix, or a very powerful blender – you just chuck it all in and blend it up! No mucking around with separating eggs, grinding up sugar, scraping out vanilla beans… a simple, idiot-proof recipe.
BTW, see my original recipe here, as well as some variations such as hazelnut chocolate/coffee cake.
Flourless Pecan Cake (Gf, Df)
170g raw pecans
100g coconut cream (just scoop off the thickest cream from the top of the tin of coconut cream, or make your own – it should be thick like thickened dairy cream)
4 large eggs
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1 Tbsp arrowroot flour (or gf cornflour/ cornstarch)
1 tsp gf baking powder
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Place all ingredients in the Thermomix bowl (or in a powerful blender), and blend for 20 seconds/ speed 9. (or until well-blended), scraping down sides if needed.
3. Tip into lined, 20cm round cake tin, and bake for about 40 minutes at 180C, or until knife inserted in centre comes out clean.
4. Drizzle with pure maple syrup while still warm and enjoy!


Tina Turner, the trailblazing rock ‘n’ roll sensation turned 80s pop titan, has passed away at 83, following a protracted illness.
The news of Turner’s passing, due to an illness she had been battling for several years including intestinal cancer diagnosed in 2016 and a kidney transplant in 2017, came on Wednesday.
The iconic musician, known as the ‘Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll’, left an indelible mark on the music scene, transforming rock ‘n’ roll and influencing legends such as Mick Jagger with her high-octane, charismatic performances.
After navigating a difficult personal and professional relationship with her husband, Ike Turner, she emerged in the 1980s as a solo superstar. Her influential album, ‘Private Dancer’, elevated her to the status of one of the most pivotal pop icons of that era.
Turner’s extraordinary life was documented in multiple memoirs, a biopic, a jukebox musical, and a highly praised documentary, ‘Tina’, in 2021.
Turner’s representatives expressed the profound loss felt around the world in a statement, remarking, “Today, at the age of 83, the ‘Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll’, Tina Turner, passed away peacefully after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. The world mourns the loss of a music legend and a role model.”
The Guardian’s Daphne A Brooks captured the spirit of Turner in 2018, saying, “Turner’s musical character has always been a charged combination of mystery as well as light, melancholy mixed with a ferocious vitality that often flirted with danger.”
Born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, Turner’s musical journey began in the local church choir and continued into her teen years when she joined Ike’s band in St Louis.
However, her journey was not without difficulty. After her relationship with Ike turned abusive, Turner courageously embarked on a solo career.
Her career spanned multiple decades, collaborations with big names in rock, and countless chart-topping hits. However, her personal and professional journey was not without obstacles.
Following a tumultuous split from Ike, Turner retained her stage name, which proved pivotal as she embarked on her solo career.
Her legacy as a groundbreaking artist who redefined rock ‘n’ roll and soared to pop stardom in the 80s remains etched in music history. Today, fans and fellow musicians alike mourn her loss and celebrate her indomitable spirit and iconic contributions to music.


CAIRO: A total of 18,472 votes in Damanhur went to a jailed parliamentary candidate after his candidacy was approved by the Administrative Justice Court of Alexandria, MENA reported.
When the court approved his request to run for the parliament, Mabrouk Zeatar was jailed pending a retrial, and he applied to the High Elections Commission (HEC) to while in jail. On Sept. 30, he was sentenced to five years in prison for inciting murder and possessing a firearm in the retrial.
Zeatar belonged to former Hosni Mubarak’s National Democratic Party and was a parliamentarian under Mubarak’s rule.
After his final conviction, the votes he garnered would be void.
Another quirk of the parliamentary elections was in Minya, Upper Egypt, where a candidate who died two weeks before the survey yielded 386 votes in a polling station.
Officials from the High Elections Committee (HEC) said that late Mahmoud Khalafallah obtained the votes although there was a sign placed at the polling station saying that he had passed away, Youm7 reported.
Another candidate, who was disqualified one day before the elections, obtained the majority of votes at a polling station in Egypt’s Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
Ali Elba, who was disqualified from the parliamentary race by a court ruling over his “bad reputation”, got over 60 percent of votes in a polling station in his hometown al-Raml of Alexandria’s.
The confusion was caused mainly because the ballots were already printed out before the court ruling and the death of the Minya candidate.

I finished Gears of War on Hardcore mode (not as uber as its sounds - it is actually the medium setting) and I decided to try out some of the multiplayer options. The normal range of player versus player modes is on offer but what immediately caught my eye was co-op mode.
Co-op is old hat to console gamers but it is relatively rare in the PC field so I had to give it a go. Co-op mode used to mean playing with a friend in the same room on a split screen. Nowadays Co-op mode allows you to play with some random player on the internet. Gears of war does allow private matches with friends but only for those who pay for a gold subscription to Windows Live. Silver members like me must trust to the public lists to find a partner. Could a random player be trusted to watch my back?
Being used to the vast lists of servers that offer themselves for multiplayer games like COD4 and TF2 I was at first disappointed to discover that there were precisely zero9 co-op matches available for me to join. I refreshed the screen a few times but nothing came up.
I would have given up at that point but luckily I spotted the option to host my own game. Within minutes a new player joined me and we indulged in a spot of co-operative monster fragging. Very enjoyable and much easier than solo play to be honest. The happy truth is that no matter how bad a human partner is they are still far better than the AI companions you get in solo play.
I have since set up a few more games and each time I found a partner very quickly. I have also joined other players' games although I have never seen more than three on offer and most of the time there are none. I think that the one plus one nature of co-op means that games never stay on the list for very long. Never fear, hosting your own game is a good way of getting a partner.
My only regret now is that I played through the whole game solo before indulging in co-op. I thought I had better hone my skills in single player before embarrassing myself in public. In reality co-op is easier than single player (and more fun) and would have been a great way of getting through some of the tough levels more quickly.

By Leslie Crawford
This morning, I told my daughter's preschool teacher, Laura, about a recent New York Times article featuring the growing number of parents who enroll their young children in Junior Kumon centers.
As with Sylvan (the other leading national franchise), Japan-based Kumon is a major player in the tutoring arena, targeting students kindergarten through high school, as well as publishing scores of popular math and reading workbooks. For the past 54 years, the Kumon method - emphasizing mastery through practice - has been taught to over 20 million students in 44 countries worldwide. In 2007, Kumon tapped into an expanding market: Ever-more-anxious American parents who want their kids climbing that ladder of success AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!!!
OK, I admit I'm not immune. Last week I learned our five-year-old neighbor is already reading. Now I'm fretting my five-year-old daughter is hopelessly behind. Dear God, does she need tutoring to be up-to-speed in kindergarten?
Worksheets for the wee ones
Perhaps reading the minds of parents like me, in 2007 Kumon introduced Junior Kumon for preschoolers, where twice a week, for an hour at a time, kids ages three to five (and even as young as two) sit in tiny chairs and put their wee noses to the academic grindstone. "Age three is the sweet spot," Joseph Nativo, chief financial officer for Kumon North America, told the New York Times. "But if they’re out of a diaper and can sit still with a Kumon instructor for 15 minutes, we will take them."
My daughter's preschool teacher Laura is one of those whole child educators who most parents I know consider nothing short of brilliant when it comes to young kids. I wasn't surprised when she told me that inflicting drill and kill exercises on the small set is pointless. Since kids aren't developmentally ready, she explained, worksheets won't make kids more academically advanced. What they benefit most from at this age is play – and lots of it.
Play is the thing
Like other progressive educators who feel strongly about the absolute value of play, Laura believes that playing not only stretches their brains and bodies, but helps children develop essential emotional and social skills they’ll need to be adults who work well with others.
Laura’s not the only naysayer. Many experts - including those cited in the New York Times - comment on the lack of value in having toddlers and preschoolers do rote reading and math exercises. And study after study suggest that kids who are given plenty of chances at free play are more socially and linguistically advanced and better abstract thinkers.
Rather than dutifully tracing over letters and numbers, by simply running around the playground, building with Legos, and engaging in pretend games, kids learn everything from basic physics to more complex language development. Plus, they're getting their shot at enjoying that moment that's gone all too soon: childhood.

Berlin, a city with such fresh sordid history, lacks identity. A friend described it as a “tossed salad,” a place with so many different components that haven’t quite melded yet.
It’s a city in recovery, rebirth. It’s a city whose hip wine bars and Thai restaurants are built into the first floor of apartment buildings where people were “deported” from their homes and sent to concentration camps. They’re marked by small gold tiles in the sidewalks - and now we eat curry wurst and spill ketchup on them.
Locals tell me that Berlin’s bare bones post-war made for cheap rent (it’s rapidly rising now) and an influx of immigrants and young people looking to reinvent themselves. The result is a city that feels like New York in the 80’s — loud, bright, and renegade — and a place as eager to move forward as it is apologetic for its past.
In the last 5-10 years, the city’s gone from an empty food landscape to a bustling multicultural one whose restaurants deserve more attention than they get. My four days in Berlin were equal parts exploring its harrowing historical landmarks and eating and drinking at some of the most exciting spots I’ve been to in a while.
Here are some of my favorites. What’d I miss? Let us know in the comments.
The Barn Coffee House
Very delicious coffee, including single-origin drip coffees if you’re into that kind of thing. They also have solid sandwiches on rye bread and a pastel de nata that rivals every other one I’ve had, though I’ve never been to Portugal so maybe that’s irrelevant. It’s one of the cutest spots in Berlin’s Mitte neighborhood with a lovely little outdoor space, and my friends and I found ourselves there almost every morning for breakfast.
Wonderful natural wine selection with a few good options by the glass and an interesting list of small plates like burrata with black garlic and truffle – also an enormous portion of olives for 3,50 euros. Reasonable prices and you can drink bottles from their huge and diverse list in-house or take them to go at a 30% discount. It’s a great place to convince strangers to share multiple bottles with you and then sink into the hole of Berlin night life (speaking from experience).
Khwan is a treat: a sort-of-hip-sort- of-not Thai restaurant with some of the most authentic food I’ve had outside of Thailand. They focus on Northern Thai and Isaan grilled meats and salads like green papaya salad and braised mushrooms with mint and toasted rice. Get the chef’s tasting for 2: you get nearly everything on the menu and it’s enough to split between 3.
This is killer authentic ramen in a space that feels like Tokyo (save the automated ticket machines and the pools of Japanese people slurping noodles like it’s a sport). This place is popular – we waited about 20 minutes on a weekday – and it’s the sister restaurant to their more expensive sushi bar next door. Ramen is around 10 euros and beer is cheaper than water. Get the spicy one & an order of gyoza.
Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebap
Döner kebap is a kind of German-Turkish fusion street food birthed from the massive influx of Turkish immigrants in post-WWII Europe – and they’re all over the city. Rumor has it, Turkish immigrants tried to make their food more appealing to Germans by using crusty bread and chicken. This spot is among the most popular in Berlin, and even though it boasts long lines (we waited 45 minutes - I’ve heard it can be up to 2 hours), it was worth the hype. I feel comfortable saying that as someone who ate 4 different kebabs in 4 days. It’s legal to drink beer on the street, so grab one at the craft beer bar up the street and drink it while you wait.
Berlin Beer Academy
These kinds of craft beer stores / bars are popular all over the city, but this was my favorite. They have a strong selection of local beers that you pick from the fridge that you can take to go or sit down to drink. The owner is a badass – he makes his own cider in the back and knows every beer producer on the planet (it felt that way, at least).

oh man!!! I’ve just become part of a team of 18 other indie developers who are making a game! it was hyped up on reddit about a year ago and got a lot of popularity, which is cool because the idea is super awesome.
Survivor Zero is a sandbox style survival game set in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Instead of focusing on combating waves of zombies in high-octane shootouts, the game will allow players the chance to use not only strength but creativity and logic in order to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
its awesome to be a part of it. that last shot is a first look at the terrain generation, the game is currently set up to procedurally (randomly) create an environment the size of the moon.

The SAFEST Way to Beat Prostate Cancer
When you’re diagnosed with prostate cancer, you can practically hear the surgeons sharpening their scalpels.
They just can’t WAIT to cut you open… either by hand, or with one of those fancy new robots.
Meanwhile, lots of guys who get prostate cancer surgery will tell you it was the worst decision of their lives.
It can ruin your ability to have sex… and leave you incontinent… for life.
Luckily, there’s a new option that’s gaining steam.
It’s PROVEN to destroy prostate tumors – but without all of the life-wrecking risks.
Treatments like surgery or radiation for prostate cancer are like using a hand grenade when what you really need is a sniper.
Sure, they may take out the cancer… but everything around it ends up as collateral damage.
And that’s too bad for you, because what’s “around” your prostate is the bladder, rectum, and urine passage, as well as plenty of nerves and muscles.
That’s why these treatments carry such a high risk of long-term problems with incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
That’s also what makes this new prostate cancer treatment — called high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) — such a great alternative.
HIFU delivers a high energy ultrasound beam directly into the prostate gland, where it can specifically target the prostate without impacting as much of the surrounding tissues.
The result is FAR fewer long-term side effects.
So while radiation and surgery increase the risk of incontinence by 5%-30% – -and increase the likelihood of sexual side effects by 30%-60% — the picture with HIFU is much different.
Only 2% of patients experienced incontinence, and only 15% experienced erectile dysfunction.
And here’s the best part…
According to the latest study published in European Urology, HIFU is JUST AS EFFECTIVE as surgery and radiation.
In fact, the 5-year-survival for all three treatments was 100%.
A 100% survival rate, with dramatically less risk of life-altering side effects? Now that’s a treatment I can feel comfortable recommending to my patients.
To a brighter day,

With that said, not all insurance policies provide the same level of protection. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when comparing your Brockway home insurance options.
Look For A Company That Is Well Established
Insurance companies are supposed to protect you. If you want to be able to rely on that protection, you will have to ensure that the company you work with is extremely stable.
Seek out insurance companies that have been in business for a long time. Look for a company that is known and respected in the industry. Make sure that they will be there if something goes wrong.
Find A Provider That Is Easy To Work With
However, it isn't unheard of for insurance companies to give their clients the runaround. Stay away from companies that engage in this kind of bad behavior. Instead, work with companies that are easy to get in touch with.
Look For A Company That Can Help You To Save
Insurance premiums can be fairly high. It is only natural that you would want to save as much as you can.
You may want to seek out quotes from several different insurance companies. You can compare the quotes you have been given so that you can find the company that is giving you the most for your money.
There are plenty of ways to save on insurance costs. If your premiums are too high, seek out a company that will charge you less.
Consider BundlingIt is likely that you are already paying to ensure something else that you own. For example, it is likely that your car is insured.
If you already have one insurance policy, you can save money by getting additional policies through the same company. Insurance companies want your business, and they are willing to offer you savings in order to get it.
Check to see if you can get home insurance through your current insurance provider. If you can, you should definitely look into that option.
We need to insure the things that are most valuable to us. If your home is insured by a great company, you won't have so much to worry about. You will know that you have coverage of a worst-case scenario occurs. A solid insurance policy can really give you some peace of mind.

Robert Glasper Experiment – Black Radio
Pianist and producer Robert Glasper makes like Dexter—the kid scientist, not serial-killer killer—and merges musical beakers for his grand, jazz-meets-rap-meets-soul project. The 34-year-old renaissance man, who’s been featured on albums by Kanye West and Q-Tip, named Black Radio for the durable recording device known to survive plane crashes (a suggestion of Mos Def, who appears on the title track as Yasiin Bey). And the LP is indeed everlasting, inviting the likes of Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco and Bilal to vibe out to breezy saxophones, bass and keys for the perfect incense and Riesling kick back. Consider this experiment a radioactive success.

Water levels in the pools quickly rise with each approaching shower, and shrink back as the fresh water finds its way to the thirsty corners of the field.
A freezing night is blown in, on the heels of a balmy afternoon.
And the sheer layer of ice left spanning these hollow pockets, records it all, like a line of ink scribbled on paper.

About Evgeny Svetlanov
Yevgeny (or Evgeny) Feodorovich Svetlanov was one of the 20th century's leading Russian conductors. He came from a musical and theatrical family: his father was a soloist in the Bolshoi Theater and his mother was an artist in a mime theater. Svetlanov was a 1951 graduate of the Gnesin Institute where he studied composition with Mikhail Gnesin and piano with Mariya Gurvich; later, Svetlanov continued his studies with Yury Shaporin in composition and Alexander Gauk in conducting at the Moscow Conservatory.
While Svetlanov was still a student, he conducted with the All-Union Radio (1953) and also first conducted the State Symphony Orchestra in 1954. Svetlanov became an assistant conductor at the Bolshoi Theater in 1955, and in 1962, he was appointed to the position of principal conductor. During his time there, Svetlanov became a favorite for the fresh, colorful sound he brought to the Russian opera repertory, particularly in operas of Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov and in Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades. It was he who led the Bolshoi on its historic visit to the stage of La Scala in Milan.
In 1965, Svetlanov became the principal conductor of the U.S.S.R. State Symphony Orchestra, now known as the Russian State Symphony Orchestra), and remained in that position until 1999, when he retired. This position became the basis of Svetlanov's conducting and recording career. Svetlanov decided to undertake a comprehensive program of recording all the major orchestral music of Russian composers from Glinka to Myaskovsky, a span of something more than a century. Svetlanov also recorded the music of Russian composers of later days, such as Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Shchedrin, Knipper, Shebalin, Khachaturian, and Eshpaî. Over his lifetime, Svetlanov managed to collect several Soviet state awards, including People's Artist of the U.S.S.R. in 1968, the 1975 Lenin Prize, and the Glinka Prize in 1975. In 1979, Svetlanov was named principal guest conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra; he also worked with the Residentie Orchestra of the Hague and leading orchestras of Japan, France, and Sweden. In 1998, Russian president Boris Yeltsin observed Svetlanov's 70th birthday with national honors. Upon Svetlanov's death, English critic David Wilkins recalled the conductor as "an essential champion of the soul of Russian music."
Svetlanov was also a composer who wrote symphonic, chamber, and vocal music, including a piano concerto. He was married to Russian soprano Larisa Avdeyeva. Svetlanov's life was portrayed in the Soviet film biography Dirizhor (The Conductor).

Given the strong possibility that the accusation against Mr. Keillor could be entirely petty in nature, I think he deserves some benefit of the doubt. This harassment craze has gone over the edge into an irrational witch hunt that is doing much more damage than good. Mr. Keillor has been a HIGHLY positive influence in our national culture and in the hearts and minds of millions of individuals. At the very least, he deserves to be reinstated to desk duty until the investigation of the accusation has been concluded.

With old divisions between left and right over matters such as economics and size of government breaking down, the primary difference between liberals and conservatives have come down to holding a reality-based world view versus one based upon superstition and the misinformation commonly spread by the right wing noise machine. With the Republican Party being dominated by the religious right it comes as no surprise to find that scientists are overwhelmingly backing the Democrats over Republicans. A Pew Research Center survey of scientists found:
Slightly more than half of scientists (52%) describe their own political views as liberal, including 14% who describe themselves as very liberal. Among the general public, 20% describe themselves as liberal, with just 5% calling themselves very liberal.
Most scientists identify as Democrats (55%), while 32% identify as independents and just 6% say they are Republicans. When the leanings of independents are considered, fully 81% identify as Democrats or lean to the Democratic Party, compared with 12% who either identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP. Among the public, there are far fewer self-described Democrats (35%) and far more Republicans (23%). Overall, 52% of the public identifies as Democratic or leans Democratic, while 35% identifies as Republican or leans Republican.
The survey also compared views on scientific issues with those of the general public. You have to take such questions with a grain of salt as a survey which gives a choice of agreeing or disagreeing could obtain different results with changes in wording. The survey found far greater belief in evolution among scientists than the general public:
Scientists were also more likely to believe in a human role in global warming and see this as an important problem:
A large majority (85%) of Americans says that the earth is warming, but they are more divided on the cause of climate change than are scientists. About half of the general public (49%) says the earth is getting warmer “mostly because of human activity, such as burning fossil fuels,” while 36% say warming is occurring “mostly because of natural changes in the atmosphere.” About one-in-ten (11%) say “there is no solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer.”
By contrast, 84% of scientists say the earth is warming because of human activity. Scientists also are far more likely than the public to regard global warming as a very serious problem: 70% express this view, compared with 47% of the public. Public attitudes about whether global warming represents a serious problem have changed little in recent years.
It would also be helpful to have a break down by field. Typically when conservatives quote scientists who disagree with the scientific consensus on climate change such views are from scientists in other fields while there is a high degree of agreement among those actually in the field. Differences in opinion in the general population were strongly related to political affiliation:
The strongest correlate of opinion on climate change is partisan affiliation. Two-thirds of Republicans (67%) say either that the earth is getting warmer mostly because of natural changes in the atmosphere (43%) or that there is no solid evidence the earth is getting warmer (24%). By contrast, most Democrats (64%) say the earth is getting warmer mostly because of human activity. Nearly half of independents (49%) say human activity is causing the earth to warm, while 47% say either that the earth is getting warmer due to natural atmospheric changes (38%) or that there is no solid evidence that the earth is warming (9%).
The divide is even larger when party and ideology are both taken into consideration. Just 21% of conservative Republicans say the earth is warming due to human activity, compared with nearly three-quarters (74%) of liberal Democrats.
There also are significant differences in views about climate change by education. More than half of college graduates (58%) say climate change is occurring and caused by human activity while those with no more than a high school education are more divided in their opinions; 45% say the earth is warming because of human activity and 40% say it is due to natural changes in the atmosphere.
Scientists were more likely than the general public to be concerned about the suppression of scientific findings by the Bush administration:
Most scientists had heard at least a little about claims that government scientists were not allowed to report research findings that conflicted with the Bush administration’s point of view. And the vast majority (77%) says that these claims are true. By contrast, these claims barely registered with the public – more than half heard nothing at all about this issue. Only about a quarter of the public (28%) said they thought the claims were true.

Author: Dr Kathryn Waddington
The need for compassion in our universities, and more widely in society and for the planet is an urgent one; the neoliberal universities of the 21st century have been described as “anxiety machines”. The charity Student Minds highlight mental health of staff and students as the focus of increasing concerns, and there is evidence of a compassion gap in UK universities. Data from Universities UK shows the number of students dropping out of university with mental health problems has more than trebled. In the ten year period from 2007/08 to 2016/17 the number of students disclosing a mental health condition rose from 9 675 to an alarming 57 305, and student suicide rates are also increasing.
The book I edited Towards the Compassionate University: From Golden Thread to Global Impact (Routledge in March 2021) is an attempt to address this urgent need. The book was the focus of a panel discussion at the university’s 2021 Difference Festival, comprising authors from the university who had written chapters about: self-compassion (Jenni Nowlan); compassion and resilience (Justin Haroun); creating compassionate organisational cultures (Lisa Matthewman); compassion and tolerance (Yusuf Kaplan) and; compassion and neoliberal higher education policies in England (Frands Pedersen) and Dr Kathryn Waddington, who chaired the panel, and introduced the discussion with the opening question “Why compassion, why now?”.
In 2019 the Higher Education Policy Institute reported an “epidemic of poor mental health” in all university staff. Based on a freedom of information request, over two thirds of staff, from whatever discipline, academic or professional services, said they struggled for half of their time to complete their workload; disturbingly, nearly one-third struggle all of the time. Those on fixed-term contracts experience worry and anxiety about their employment status with over one-third stating they experience poor mental health as a consequence. Staff and students are suffering and this is why compassion is needed in our universities.
Compassion quite literally means to “suffer with” and is a process that involves (i) noticing that suffering is present in an organisation; (ii) feeling empathic concern; and most importantly (iii) taking action. However, the term “sufferer” is also synonymous with “victim” and in the book we argue that being and learning at universities should be an individually empowering experience. Compassion in universities is better described as recognising and noticing the difference, discrimination and bias in how people are being treated, and students are being taught. This calls for compassionate pedagogy, which is about ensuring that our teaching and interactions with students and colleagues are based on kindness, and followed through by actions and practices that are equitable and inclusive, and free from racism and harassment. Compassionate pedagogy is important because it allows students, teachers and all involved in universities to become a humanising voice which listens to, hears and responds appropriately to the realities of the marginalised and excluded.
Meanwhile, being compassionate is one of our university’s core values:
“We are thoughtful and sensitive, supportive and encouraging, making time to talk, especially when the pressure is on. As a University community we are inclusive and united, careful to consider what enables each and every one of us to play our part”.
The book Towards the Compassionate University written collectively by colleagues at Westminster plays an important role in ensuring that the university’s core value of being compassionate is put into practice. More broadly, the book raises awareness of the crucial role of compassion as a core concern in education, health and social care, and has global impact, helping to ensure the sustainable development goals necessary for the future of humankind and the planet are met.
Drawing upon a wide range of interdisciplinary, theoretical, and professional perspectives — including social sciences, modern Darwinism, intersectionality, higher education policy, and organisation studies — the book addresses the key challenges facing 21st-century universities. For example, intersectionality and higher education, staff and student health and well-being, and responding to global challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic.
The book is relevant to university leaders, policy makers, educators, researchers, university staff, and students aspiring to develop their own understanding of the role of compassion in professional life. Meanwhile, all royalties from sales of the book will be donated to the UK charity Student Minds.
Dr Kathryn Waddington is a Reader in Psychology in the School of Social Sciences and is passionate about academic-practitioner research and scholarship that makes a difference to people’s lives. In addition to publications in the field of compassion Kathryn is author of the forthcoming book Gossip, Organisation and Work: A Research Overview, based on her doctoral research at Goldsmiths, University of London, and which will be published later this year in the Routledge Series “State of the art in Business Research”.

The Deep State continues to target allies of President Donald Trump.
Federal agents searched the home of the Trump-era DOJ official Jeffrey Clark.
Clark wanted to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
NEW: Federal agents search the Virginia home of Jeffrey Clark, a Trump-era Justice Dept. official. @AP
— Alex Salvi (@alexsalvinews) June 23, 2022
Federal investigators on Wednesday conducted a search of the home of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, people briefed on the matter tell CNN.
Clark is the former DOJ lawyer who former President Donald Trump sought to install as attorney general in the days before the January 6 Capitol riot as top officials refused to go along with his vote fraud claims.
The latest search warrant executed by the FBI against a Trump official, stemming from unknown probable cause having to do with the 2020 presidential election, was meted out today to Jeffrey Clark in Virginia. “It remained unclear exactly what the investigators may have been looking for,” The New York Times reports.
Sources close to the investigation exclusively tell The Post Millennial that the raid is part of the Biden DOJâ€™s probe into the “alternate electors” slated by multiple states in the aftermath of the 2020 election. According to the sources, the investigation is being run by US Attorneys out of Main Justice in Washington, DC, and a grand jury has been empaneled.
News of the Jeffrey Clark raid comes as the Jan 6 Committee is scheduled to hold their hearing on Jeffrey Clark the very same day the story was leaked to The New York Times.
Clark is one of a growing list of Trump supporters who have been either subpoenaed by the Department of Justice in recent days, or actively targeted with search warrants by the FBI. Just what information is being sought, or what the warrants are intended to find, is unclear.
The President of The Center for Renewing America, where Clark works, released a statement blasting the raid.
All because Jeff saw fit to investigate voter fraud. This is not America, folks. The weaponization of govt must end. Let me be very clear. We stand by Jeff and so must all patriots in this country. 2/2

Carmen Wong Ulrich is a personal finance expert and author of "The Real Cost of Living" and "Generation Debt." She joined us for a live Web chat Wednesday morning after the show's Money 911 segment.
Here are two of her answers and a complete archive.
Question from Richard Padgett: I have an IRA of $61,500, my mortgage is $53,000. I am 60 years old and looking to retire in three years. Should I pull this money from the IRA and pay off the mortgage. I also have a large 401K.
Carmen Wong Ulrich: Richard - If you're looking to retire at or before 65, I hope you have a BIG 401k because you'll need it! ;-) Prepaying your mortgage isn't the best long-term scenario if you're looking for not only security, but return. Reducing monthly expenses is one thing, but your home doesn't let your money grow tax-free, something your IRA does. Plus, studies show that a well-diversified portfolio performs better over time than home value/housing market. Good luck!
Question from June: My daughter is buying a car and doesn't like loans. She is spending about $10,000, but also won't like spending all her money in a big chunk. Should she put $5,000 down and finance the rest but then pay it with the rest of her money?
Carmen Wong Ulrich: June - Auto loan rates today, if you have great credit, are very cheap. My sister just got a $7,000 loan (on a $12,000 car) at 5 percent. Your daughter can consider the same. At 5 percent, especially if she's buying used and not getting slammed with too much depreciation, the math of putting some down then borrowing the other half is sound. Plus, I'd rather she keep cash on hand too in case of an emergency!

Inspired by 5-member Super Girl group KARA, KARA 5 Poker is a variant of 5-card draw poker, except that there are five suits instead of the normal four and only twelve ranks instead of thirteen. Also, there is a bonus for a hand that consists of one of each suit (a.k.a. color); in the game, the name of this hand will be prefixed with "KARA". e.g. KARA Quads is a 4-of-a-kind with each card a different suit or color.

Sacramento Bee readers share their gardening adventures.
Sacramento answered the call for National Make A Difference Day. On Oct. 26, about 300 volunteers turned out to clean up community gardens, start new gardens and other tasks.
“It was the 12th year that we organized the effort as part of the Sacramento-area community garden coalition,” said coordinator Bill Maynard.
The volunteers worked at 36 sites in the Sacramento area, including many community gardens, school gardens and church gardens, he said.
“They also worked on green space projects, the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center to help the master gardeners and the old city cemetery rose garden,” Maynard added.
The volunteers focused on several edible-landscape projects in the area, Maynard noted, including sites in Davis, Woodland, Lincoln, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento.
“I was at the Rancho Cordova library, where the second Read and Feed library garden project is under construction,” he added. “We created the raised beds with over 500 concrete blocks.
“(Coordinators at) all sites commented how hard the volunteers worked and the excellent job,” he said.
Faye Wilson Kennedy of the Southeast Village Neighborhood Association was among those who lauded the volunteers. Many came from the AmeriCorps program. They helped the association and Camellia Elementary School’s Green Team spruce up the community garden at Camellia Park.
“The AmeriCorps members provided the people power needed to tackle the old Bermuda grass near the community garden,” she said.
At Bean Park in Sacramento, the AmeriCorps volunteers cleared the paths and the abandoned plots, readying the community garden for more new members. It demonstrated again how many hands can make quick work of even the most daunting tasks.

Aaron's robotics team competed at the University of Minnesota and made it all the way to the semi-finals. Here Jeff, Aaron and friend, Lyon, are scouting other teams for a good match up for the final matches.
When I saw the mood board at Kaiser Crafts, I was inspired to pull out Kaiser Craft's Off The Wall Collection and scrap out latest robotics adventure.
All of the papers and chipboard are from Kaiser's Off The Wall paper and collectables sets. The gears were made by rubbing Inka Gold, blue and copper pastes on dark blue Kaiser cardstock then diecut with Tim Holtz's Thinlit gear dies.

Thomas Glazier of Oxford (fl. 1386-1427) was a master glazier active in England during the late 14th and early 15th century; he is one of the earliest identifiable stained glass artists, and is considered a leading proponent of the International Gothic style.
Glazier's workshops were based in Oxford, and he was clearly an important figure in the town; he is recorded in New College's Steward's Book as being regularly invited to dine with the Warden and Fellows. Although we have some record of his professional activities (and appearance; see below) almost nothing is known of his personal life, other than that he was married.
Glazier is particularly notable for his early adoption of elements of the emerging International Gothic style in his work: he may have been influenced by his contacts with European artists through William of Wykeham and his circle. His work is characterised by sophisticated draughtsmanship and placement of figures, and also by its remarkable stylistic development, indicating that such artists were open to absorbing new ideas during the course of their careers. Along with the work of John Thornton of Coventry, Glazier's style was highly influential. It is possible that Robert Lyen, who made windows for Exeter Cathedral, was his apprentice.
Glazier's work survives in the chapels of New College, Oxford and of Winchester College. The latter scheme contains an 1822 copy of a self-portrait included in the original east window: this depicts him kneeling in prayer, wearing a long gown and with a short, forked beard of the sort fashionable in the late 14th century. There is a panel probably executed by him in the church of Thenford, Northamptonshire, as well as windows in Winchester Cathedral and the chapel of Merton College, Oxford.

A group of students from Northwest Missouri State University visited Ray-Pec last week to learn more about the District's programs to support students in the areas of behavior and special education.
The on-site visit tied into one of their college special education courses. The University brought 26 Juniors to attend a rotation of one-hour sessions at Ray-Pec schools.
Rotations included visits to: Raymore Elementary School, the Compass classroom at Bridle Ridge Elementary School, the Success Academy alternative program for grades K-8, East Middle School to learn about supports at the middle school level, and a lunch panel with district administrators.
The partnership and visits helps the Northwest students learn more about Ray-Pec, and could lead to future special education teacher candidates from Northwest.

Erik Ten Hag Shares What He Wants to Achieve for Manchester United | Read
The manager of Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag has spelt out how he wants to make the team formidable going into the next season.
UPDATE ON RAPHINHA'S TRANSFER FROM LEEDS UNITED
The Dutchman was speaking in an interview which was on Manchester United's website where he was answering some questions about his plans. Supporters of the Red Devils believe that their new coach can replicate the same success he had when he was the manager of Ajax.
We want to play a proactive style of football on the ball and off the ball.That is, trying to do that has to be our intentions and it’s now, firstly, the coaches bring it over to the team that we are, in every situation, proactive. Proactivity is a very key aspect of any pressing style of football, with not only the individual but the collective mindset of the players needing to be geared in this manner.
Ten Hag also spoke about ensuring the players' togetherness as they go into the new season.
We are brave and willing to have the ball, to give each other options. But also off the ball, to get the pressing style is what we’re working for together. In the positions of individuals, you give them coaching advice, and, in the end, it’s about team results and better team performances so you give them advice to perform into the team. That is my job, to construct a team and to improve the team. You can do it in different ways or in more ways but, to start, it is out of a philosophy. And then you build it and go into the individuals, and you give them the rules and principles.
Manchester United will get to see Ten Hag's philosophy first-hand when the Red Devils play Liverpool in their first pre-season game.

A short mining road south of the pass about one mile east of Bock Spring was the campfire site for 14 Desert Peakers and friends on Saturday. The night was pleasant except for a few mosquitoes.
Early Sunday morning 12 of the group started for the peak which was reached in time for lunch after some bushwhacking and up and down climbing on the long approach ridges. The weather was perfect and provided fine visibility in all directions. Snow-capped Charleston Peak was particularly impressive.
The cars were reached in good time for the return trip.
The next time this peak is scheduled, advantage should be taken of the much better approach road which passes through Tecopa just east of Highway 127. By following the signs to Bock Spring but continuing one or two miles beyond the spring, it is possible to be on paved road for all except the last 7 or 8 miles.

I have, on multiple occasions, killed my lane opponent, have them revive, only to kill them again without having to back myself. The counter to revive is literally to just kill them again.
You kill your opponent and push on his tower, if his allies don't recall and stop you, you get the tower.
That's fine, when the game is 400-400 he can let that slide and just take the tower back, plenty of time up his sleeve. Bit of a different story when the game is 30-15. Your team is just barely behind, you pull off a great play, kill your opponent, push on his tower, oh look his team can sit fine top because he just revived and prevented you from being rewarded for out playing him. Not only that, his team now get to remain on top because none of them had to recall in an effort to save their bot tower from you, which would let the rest of your team contest and most likely take top.
So revive just prevented you from taking either top or bot/mid and by this time the score is most likely 20-5 and it's game over for you.
In what messed up world is it fair that a simple button push completely undoes your hard work?, especially if you just barely managed to beat him or worse yet he made a mistake which caused him to lose and he can simply ignore that fact because of revive.
You can argue that "oh well we can just make him blow his revive early". That's **** because as the game progresses and especially if the teams are very even, any idiot would keep revive free for that exact situation, even if he loses the tower briefly at some other point in the game, it's easy to get your own bot tower back when you have a cushion of 50-100 points or more.
