The Brand New Electric MBG!
The reborn MG company is currently enjoying great success with its electric cars, but not even the official keeper of the octagon badge has one of these in its range. Yes it’s an MGB. Yes it’s battery powered. And yes, MG purists may well be outraged…
Actually they shouldn’t be because no actual MGB was harmed in the making of this car. The machine you see here is not a conversion that depletes the stock of Britain’s sports car icon from the 1960s. It looks pukka because covering up all the new electric running gear is a bodyshell from British Motor Heritage. The body, like every other bit of the car, is in fact brand new.
There’s good news too in that it sticks with rear-wheel-drive and it promises sprightly performance. It will do 80mph and get from 0-62mph in 9 seconds – so quicker than a ‘60s era B. Oh, and it doesn’t have rubber bumpers…
It’s all the idea of a Midlands company called RBW, a classic car restoration business that with technical help from some big names – Zytek and Continental – has formed RBW Electric Classic Cars. Its mission is to make electric cars inspired by British classics in runs of about 30 cars.
As well as the B roadster seen here, RBW will do you an electric MGB GT hardtop, an E-type or Austin-Healey, and they say there’s an electric Mini coming next year.
“Each car can be built to the clients’ personal specification and requirements,” RBW managing director Peter Swain tells us. “The opportunities are endless and therefore safeguard the future of classic motoring.”
The modular electric drivetrain, with batteries up front and a single 93PS (70kW) motor behind, is said to have been three years in development and is the result of a collaboration with Continental AG, which provides technology for Formula E.
A stack of lithium-ion batteries under the bonnet is sufficient to provide a range of 160 miles, claims RBW, while an optional extra battery can up that to 200 miles. Charging takes eight hours.
Surprisingly with such a lot of mass up front, the car’s weight distribution is said to be “perfectly balanced” for what Peter Swain calls a true sportscar feel in the driving. As well as new independent wishbone suspension with coilover spring/damper units, the RBW electric B gets a bespoke brake system with energy regeneration. All the components are new.
The open cockpit is just as new and just as traditional looking with two low-set seats and leather trim. But look closer and the familiar is neatly combined with today’s technologies. Here is a MGB with a multi-function dashboard, Wi-Fi enabled navigation, USB sockets and a colour touchscreen. There’s a big rotary drive selector where you would otherwise see a gear lever.
Given these days you can get electric versions of everything from a classic Rolls-Royce Phantom, Aston Martin DB6 and Jaguar E-type right down to a battery Morris J van, it was surely only a matter of time before the much-loved B made its comeback in electric form.
The MGB hit the spot at its debut in 1962 as a stylish sportscar at an affordable price. But as you may by now have guessed, it’s not as affordable as it once was. Prices start at £90,000 plus taxes.


Georgia Unemployment Rate Drops Again in January
Georgia’s unemployment rate fell for the 21st consecutive month in January to 3.2%, down slightly from the 3.3% jobless rate posted in December.
At the same time, the number of jobs in the Peach State climbed to an all-time high of almost 4.7 million, while the number of employed Georgians rose to more than 5 million.
“I am not surprised that our unemployment rate dropped again in January,” state Commissioner of Labor Mark Butler said Thursday. “However, with the number of jobs at an all-time high, we must be careful to not lose focus on supporting our workforce and getting qualified workers into the right careers.”
On the negative side, initial unemployment claims in January were up 11,335 from December to 28,257. However, compared to January of last year, jobless claims declined by 102,169, or 78%.
More than 240,000 job opportunities are listed online at Employ-Georgia.com, resulting in a minimum of more than 325,000 unfilled positions.
The health-care industry posted the most openings with 41,000, followed by retail trade with 23,000, manufacturing with 20,000 and accommodation and food services with 19,000.
This story is available through a news partnership with Capitol Beat News Service, a project of the Georgia Press Educational Foundation.


Kavitha, 18, earns her living in a garment factory in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Like many of her colleagues, she lives in factory-provided accommodation, where she shares a dimly lit hostel room with 16 other women.
The rooms in these hostels have few comforts – there are no fans or air conditioning – and the women sleep on simple mats on the floor. Life revolves around working in the factory, where Kavitha sews up to 80 T-shirts an hour, eight hours a day, six days a week, for around £60 a month.
Back at the inn, Kavitha’s life is cut off from the world behind locked gates and the high perimeter fences of a permanently guarded compound. As well as being transported to the factory and back, the women are released about once a week for a few hours – but always accompanied by guards or guards. Never alone.
For many, it can feel a lot like a prison. But these conditions are a daily reality for thousands of young single workers who have left rural areas to work in factories. They produce clothes for brands such as Gap, H&M, Hugo Boss, Next and Tesco.
These hostels have become ubiquitous in India (and elsewhere). They are usually owned and operated by the factory, with payments for food and lodging usually deducted from workers’ wages. Residents provide an available workforce where workers – sometimes locked into long-term contracts – are readily available for even the most undesirable shifts.
All of this leaves workers with little control over their lives, which has led to much criticism of the hostel system. Indeed, there is some evidence to suggest that the majority of garment industry centers in India “unlawfully restrict the free movement of resident workers”. And a recent report identified what it described as “large-scale human rights violations” and an “exorbitant” risk of forced labor practices.
But research into South Indian hostels by a team from the University of Bath, London’s Royal Holloway University and Simon Fraser University, revealed a different view – from women who live there. We spoke to over 50 workers and their families (as well as employers and caregivers) about the realities of living in a home. We found that the parents of the women in particular seemed to welcome the restrictions their daughters faced.
A matter of security
Rather than being seen as prisons, homes are seen as places where young women are protected and even released. As one mother told us: “They are not safe here [in the village]so we send them [to the hostel] – they will take good care of the girls.
Such feelings may stem from fears for the safety of young women in a country that is no stranger to gender-based violence. A high-security hostel is considered a safe destination for women leaving rural villages to work under the “protection” of urban factory owners.
Another perceived advantage for these women and their families is that their reputation will not be in question when they return to the village to marry, given the few opportunities they have to meet men under the strict regime of hostel life.
Such interpretations of hostel life clearly stem from the highly gendered and patriarchal environment into which many South Indian women were born. Male workers face few if any of the same restrictions in their own more liberal housing.
But even so, for young women who have faced many restrictions even at home, the hostel can actually feel like a kind of liberation. As one mother explained to us: “If [my daughter] come home, she must stay inside the house, [and] we don’t let her out of the village at all. In the hostel, however, young women have the opportunity to socialize with their peers.
In some of the best hostels, entertainment is offered on the weekends, as well as lessons in subjects such as computers, yoga and swimming. Some even offer training in nutrition and hygiene, as well as financial education and women’s empowerment.
When we spoke to the workers themselves (at home or in community centers away from the hostel), one said he preferred living in factory accommodation. “I like the hostel more because you can have fun there,” she told us in the shelter of her family. Another said: “We can have fun with our friends and be happy.”
The reality of hostel life therefore seems more complex than one might think at first sight. There is no denying that these are deeply problematic places where low wages and exploitation can run rampant. But any attempt to tackle these issues should recognize the important, albeit limited, freedoms they provide.
Activists, and even the brands themselves, have long called for a change in hostel practices. For example, the Ethical Trading Initiative, an organization dedicated to improving business sourcing practices which counts Next, Primark, Superdry and Tesco among its members, said: “We recognize that poor terms and restrictions on freedom of movement exist in hostel factories, and there is still much to do.
Although our research suggests this has led to better conditions in many hostels and a reduction in some of the worst forms of exploitation, freedom of movement remains a sticking point. We also found that many factories would rather dodge the scrutiny of outsiders than risk a steady supply of low-cost labor.
What is needed are not more strident demands to simply end restrictions on freedom of movement, but the development and implementation of a longer-term vision for change in and around the industry. This could involve the establishment of government or NGO run hostels employing more humane practices.
This could also include efforts to increase the supply and reduce the cost of private rental accommodation around construction sites, and increase married quarters to reduce reliance on single female migrant workers. Efforts to better align wages with the cost of living outside the home should also be a priority.
The longer term goal, however, must be broader political, social and cultural change. Change that tackles the deep gender discrimination and patriarchal relationships that young Indian women like Kavitha face wherever they are – at home, in a hostel or elsewhere.

The Gretna boys soccer team enters the Class B state tournament on an eight-game winning streak, outscoring its opponents 20-4 in the process.
With the Dragons being Hastings High’s first opponent of the Class B state tournament, it’s promising that the Tiger defense is starting to come around late in the season after posting two consecutive shutouts in the B-5 District tournament.
The No. 2-seeded Dragons (13-4) and seventh-seeded Tigers (9-7) will meet in the opening round 6 p.m. Thursday at Creighton University’s Morrison Stadium in Omaha.
The Dragons average 2.8 goals per game and possess two dynamic scorers in juniors Travis Agagah (13 goals) and Jacob Ridpath (12 goals). Agagah also leads the squad with seven assists.
HHS head coach Mike Nanfito said that it’s important for the Tiger defense to not let those two playmakers get out in front of the defense, which is what Gretna wants to accomplish.
“Organization is a major key for us. Come Thursday night, we need to make sure we track runners,” said Nanfito, who is coaching the Tigers to their fifth straight state tournament. “Gretna is good on the ball, and when they’re off the ball, they’re very good at making dynamic runs and getting forward. If we do that, we can have some success.”

Hearing the intriguing story of Bonnie Garmus, the litterateur behind Lessons In Chemistry, Shaili Chopra could not help but wonder, "There are always limits for women, aren't there?" Chopra, the founder of SheThePeople and Gytree, possessed a discerning look as the writer continued to narrate the story of her life, one that almost every woman can relate to. "Dream big," little girls are taught, proposing the possibility of fathomless aspirations. However, when the dreams are at the precipice of coming true, the enthusiastic girls' wings are trimmed and they're reminded, "But wait... Not that big!"
Women often find themselves contending with not-so-subtle limitations that stifle their ambitions. The walls around their thoughts continue to inch closer as they attempt to explore the possibilities of living an unleashed future. At the Jaipur Literature Festival, Bonnie Garmus and Shaili Chopra sat down for a riveting chat on the expectations from women, imposed right from a young age.
Why Do Women's Dreams Always Come With A Clause?
"We were always raised to be ambitious; but within limits," Bonnie Garmus said, describing her life as a young girl and an aspiring writer. "I could aspire to be an Editor at a publishing house, but I could never aspire to be the CEO. That would be off limits," she exemplified. Hearing this, interviewer Shaili Chopra stirred a conversation on why women are expected to be aspirational within bounds.
Garmus narrated, "There are always limits for women. All of my sisters were limited in very profound ways. My mother was stopped from becoming more than a nurse. It was just something that they (endured as) 'Well, that's the way it is'." The writer continued, "Except I would always say, 'Why don't we change it?'"
People often say, "Women are women's worst enemies," describing the patriarchal burden that is passed down several generations. However, the real enemy is the endurance of negativity that women have learnt to conventionalise over the years. The clichéd "It is what it is" mindset has restrained several women from breaking out of the toxic cycle that is keeping them from learning their full potential.
Despite today's women slowly crawling their way to a better future, the limits imposed on them keep them in the same loop of waiting for a breakthrough. For example, take women's participation in the workforce. While more women are climbing their way up the career ladder, the gender pay gap, limited healthcare and childcare services, and societal expectations for work-life balance (read: familial duties) leave cracks and bends in the ladder, pushing them down to the first step.
Not just in the bigger picture, but also within the walls of their home, girls are taught from a young age, to continue enduring adversities as "strong women" instead of making life better for them. Acknowledging and dealing with the challenges instead of avoiding them can foster an environment where women truly feel strengthened. It is important to let go of hackneyed expectations and dismantle the cage built around women's dreams.

The conversation was who would Biden choose as a running mate. This question was more important than normal. Biden, who was always a light of 20 watts, was no longer shining at all. He was clearly suffering from cognitive decline due to aging. The talk was that the vice-presidential choice would become president because the 25th amendment would have to be invoked. That the 25th amendment should be invoked is beyond question.
For unknown reasons, Kamala Harris was the Democrats choice. Yes, she is a woman, many men have come to know this for certain, but she is not black. She was hurt badly in the debates as Tulsi Gabbard asked her about her record. Harris dropped out of the race even before the Iowa caucuses. It was evident she would show poorly in the California primary.
Yet she was chosen. After the big steal of the 2020 election, Harris was sworn in as Vice-President. Very quickly it became evident why she had to drop from the primaries so early. Harris rose through the ranks in one party California, not based on any political astuteness, but because she was that woman who was well acquainted with many powerful men. All of America quickly saw how incompetent she is. Perhaps Biden went along with Harris as his running mate because even he knew there would be real reluctance to invoke the 25th amendment. Harris has proven to be even less capable than anybody imagined.
Biden noticeably declines on a monthly if not weekly basis, and yet there is little talk about the 25th amendment. That is due totally to Harris. She has not had a public appearance where she has not embarrassed herself, Biden, and the country. This is the result: “The approval polling tracker at FiveThirtyEight—which takes a weighted average of the polls—is recording a steady downward approval trend for Biden and Harris.
According to FiveThirtyEight, Harris has experienced a sharp decline in her approval ratings, with an updated average on April 21 that showed 58.1 percent disapprove of Harris compared to 32.1 percent who find her to be favorable, a -26 percent net rating.”
These numbers are even worse than Biden’s numbers. Everything Biden does lowers his numbers, but Harris goes down even faster. No that is not a pun. The choices for the Democrats are very bleak. The midterms are only 6 months away. The numbers keep getting worse. The Democrats only hope is that they have mastered how to steal elections. The vote counters will have to be very good, but then they openly stole the election in 2020, so do not underestimate their resourcefulness. Biden and Harris will not be on the campaign trail. Would you want them to campaign for you?

Tree plots are probably one of the most over looked aspects of habitat management. Sure, a lot of people may know the benefits of planting trees for wildlife and some may even plant trees. However, very few people put in the time and effort of actually designing entire tree plots for deer. Granted, it is not as simple as putting in regular food plots, but the results can be much greater.
To start, creating soft and hard mass tree plots will greatly increase the holding capacity of your property. For those of you who are not familiar with the term “holding capacity,” it is simply the capacity of deer that your property can hold and sustain. One of the number one things that factor into your holding capacity is food.
Annual and perennial food plots are great for getting food onto your property, but they can only go so far. The average one-hundred pound doe has to eat 9 pounds of food per day. Think of how much clover she would have to eat to reach this requirement, compared to how many apples she would have to eat.
Soft mass fruit is also much sweeter than the plants you are growing in your annual or perennial food plots. Therefore, deer will crave these types of food sources, especially if you are the only one in the area that has fruit trees.
Now that we have gone over a few benefits of tree plots, you may be wondering what steps you should take to start a tree plot project. In this article we will go over everything from how to plant, where to plant, and also how you should choose what trees are best for your situation.
What to Plant
For most, figuring out exactly what types of trees to plant may be the most difficult part of the process. If you are in the northern part of the country, you need trees that have a good cold tolerance. If you are in the southern part of the country, you often need trees that are not susceptible to disease. With the amount of rain fall that we receive in the south and the high humidity, disease can wreak havoc on fruit trees. So, choosing the correct tree for your region is vital.
When it comes to picking trees for my tree plots, I normally have some sort of idea of what I’m looking for, whether it be hard mast trees or soft mass tress. Now, one thing that I like to do is keep my soft mass tree plots and my hard mast tree plots separate. This may sound crazy to some but it actually yields greater results than having them intermingled with one another. Why? It’s all about Ph level.
Most fruit and soft mass trees require a neutral ph level, which is 6.5 – 7.5, to produce high yields of fruit. However, oaks require more acidic soil to produce high yields of acorns. Normally around 4.8 is best. So if you have fruit and acorn trees planted together, the trees will never be able to reach their full potential. Simply because the soil acidity that one would thrive in, would cripple the other, and vice versa.
Another reason I like to keep them separate is that I like to include annual forage into my fruit tree plots. I often plant soy beans and corn in my tree plots during the summer, and brassicas in the tree plots during the winter. If I were to try to plant these annual forages around oaks, the soil ph would be way off and the annual forage would not reach its full potential. So I stick to only planting the annual forage in my fruit tree plots. Most annual forages require the same soil ph levels as fruit trees, so they work well together.
One thing to keep in mind is that you do not want to plant any annual forage under the drip line of your fruit trees. First off, the fruit trees will cast too much shade and the annual forage will not be able to thrive. Secondly, the fruit trees and annual forage will compete for water and nutrients, which will not be good for either plant. Lastly, the annual drilling or disking under the tree will damage the feeder roots and compromise the root system of your tree.
Another great benefit of tree plots is that you can select your trees to where you have at least one type of crop falling for most of the year. You can go from having peaches dropping in the spring, to Swamp Chestnut Oaks dropping acorns into late November, in some cases. Depending on your climate, you want to pick your trees in a way that you have some type of fruit, or nut, falling for as much of the year as possible on your property.
Growing oak saplings from acorns in a controlled environment, such as a pot, is a great way to increase the germination rate.
Once you have decided whether you are planting a hard mast or soft mass plot, the next step is picking the exact types of trees you want to plant. When it comes to picking the exact tree for my climate, I call the folks over at Mossy Oak Nativ Nurseries. They can tell you exactly which tree will be good for your area, as well as sell you the tree and ship it right to your door. Below I will lay out a few different tree types that I have experience with in numerous different climates. These are a great place to start when choosing which trees are best for you.
Tend to thrive well in fairly wet areas.
Drop in early fall: Anjou, Bartlett, GioVan, Doc’s Special, Flemish Beauty, Kieffer, Potomac, Magness, Shenandoah, Burford, and Stacey
Drop in late fall: Big Mama, Trophy, Gallway
Blue, Craggs, Dollywood, Evelyn, Janet, Killen, Miller, and Yates
Ripen early: Centennial, Liberty, Enterprise, Rome, Horse, and Magnum Bonum
Ripen later: Honeycrisp, Arkansas Black, Goldrush, Blacktwig, and York
Chestnuts have more carbohydrates and contain 10% more quality protein than acorns. They also contain no tannin which is why deer will crave and seek out chestnuts over acorns.
White Oaks- There are several different types of white oaks you can choose from. However, no matter which type you choose, it holds true that white oaks contain substantially less tannin than red oaks. This will cause them to be more attractive than the red oaks in your area.
Red Oaks- Although red oaks have higher tannin levels than chestnuts and white oak trees, they do have a higher fat content. In areas of severe cold, this will help deer survive the winter.
These are by no means the only trees you should consider. This is simply the types of trees that I have had success with. No matter what type you choose, diversity is key. Diversity will help ensure pollination and improve crop yield. It will also make your tree plots more attractive to the wildlife, so mix it up.
Ordering or Transplanting
Once you have decided on the type of tree you want to plant, it’s time to order the trees. Now, if you have selected a tree that happens to be common in your area, you might try digging up and transplanting a sapling. When transplanting a tree, be sure not to damage the root ball and dig up as much of the root system as possible. Depending on the size of the sapling, I like to dig 1-3 foot off of the base of the tree. This will help ensure the survival of the tree.
Whether you choose to order or transplant your trees, it is best to do so during the winter. Trees store more energy in the root system during the winter. So planting them while they have this energy stored in the root system will help ensure their survival.
Once you have ordered your trees, it is best to get them in the ground as soon as possible. If you cannot get them in the ground right away, be sure to keep them watered diligently. If the root system dries out, the sapling will die. When transplanting saplings yourself, I recommend digging them up and planting them in the same day. This will help ensure the root system does not have a chance to dry out.
When you call to order your trees, you will have an option between containerized saplings and barefoot saplings. Barefoot saplings mean that they were dug up out of the ground and transplanted into the container for shipment. Containerized saplings mean that they were planted in the container as a seed and have grown in the container thus far in their life cycle. Barefoot saplings will be cheaper, however; containerized saplings tend to have a higher survival rate.
Planting your Trees
Once you have chosen your planting site, be sure to dig the hole for the sapling slightly bigger than the root ball. Now that you have ordered your trees, or picked out the saplings that you wish to transplant, it is time to get them in the ground. The downfall that I see most commonly in tree plots is tree spacing. This can be very crucial for the trees survival and making the plot huntable.
If you plant the trees to close, they compete with each other for water and nutrients. As well as make it very difficult to hunt. If you plant them to far apart, they struggle to help pollinate one another and your crop suffers. For soft mass trees, I recommend spacing them about 20 feet apart. For hard mass trees, I recommend spacing of about 30 feet. This will help ensure good pollination as well as make it easy to harvest deer in the plot.
Planting depth is also very crucial when planting any type of tree or shrub. You want to be sure you don’t plant the tree to deep or the soil will hold moisture around the base of the tree, causing the base to rot. You also don’t want to plant the tree to shallow, or the root ball will dry out, killing the tree. When planting trees I recommend leaving about ½ an inch of root ball sticking out of the ground. For instance, when you pull a tree out of the container, you will have a ball of dirt surrounding the root system. Do not plant the top of the dirt ball even with the surface of the soil. Leave it sticking about ½ an inch above the soil surface. That should be plenty deep enough for the root ball not to dry out but also not too deep for the base of the tree to be in the soil.
The first year of the saplings life is the most crucial. If it gets to dry it will die. If the wildlife damage it, it will die. So there are a few safety measures you can take to help prevent both of these situations.
To help prevent wildlife damage and to ensure the tree develops a correct growth pattern. I recommend placing a tree tube on all of your trees. The tree tube will wrap completely around the sapling, leafs and all. This will keep the wildlife from damaging the tree and well as force the tree to grow upward instead of the limbs growing out and drooping down. Once the tree has grown too big for the tree tube, the tree tube will simply bust off, or you could remove it yourself.
In order to keep the root system as moist as possible, I also recommend placing some type of plastic or weed cloth on the ground directly around the tree. This will also help to keep unwanted grasses and weeds from competing with your sapling. Personally, I place the plastic around the tree in about a 2 foot diameter off the base, while being sure to leave it about an inch off of the base of the tree. In times of drought, I will come in with a tank and water hose to water my trees. I will simply place the hose under the edge of the plastic and let it run for 3-5 minutes, or until I feel that the root system is good and saturated. Keeping the tree watered at all costs is very vital to its survival.
Caring for your Trees
This will help ensure that it establishes well at its new site.Now that you have your trees in the ground, the hard part is over. Now you just need to keep up with some simple maintenance to help ensure your trees make it to maturity.
The most common question I get is on fertilizing your trees. When to fertilize your fruit trees and how much to apply, is critical. Too much fertilizer and you can damage the root zone of the tree. Too little fertilizer and you won’t receive the results you are looking for.
Always remember; never fertilize your fruit trees after July. This will cause the tree to push out new growth and use up the energy it was storing in its root system for winter. Fertilize the tree in February the first year it is planted. On the first year, one cup of fertilizer is usually sufficient. If you notice any yellowing or nutrient deficiencies, apply another cup of fertilizer in May. Follow this same process the second year.
After the second year, a good rule of thumb is one pound of fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter. Follow this process for the remainder of the trees life. Be sure to spread the fertilizer evenly within the drip line of the tree. In the past, it was recommended to create a ring of fertilizer around the base of the tree, about 6 inches off of the trunk. However, this is known to cause root damage and I do not recommend it.
Another vital part of caring for your trees is eliminating competition, which we touched on earlier. Studies have shown that trees where the competition has been removed are 20-30% larger than trees where the competition was not removed. Spraying under the drip line of the tree with Glyphosate is the best way to ensure that no grasses or weeds are competing with your trees. Don’t worry, Glyphosate has no soil activity. Which means that it will only kill foliage that it directly hits, so it will not damage the tree by spraying the ground underneath it.
Pruning the tree is also quite simple. Start by pruning any dead or diseased limbs. If you believe a limb is diseased, be sure to spray your pruning shears with rubbing alcohol after each cut. This will ensure that you do not spread the disease. You also want to prune any sprouts or ‘suckers’ growing out of the base of the tree.
The next step of pruning your trees is pruning them to allow air flow and sunlight into the canopy. Start by removing any branches that grow toward the center of the tree, any branches that grow downward, and any branches that cross paths with one another.
The final pruning step is simply pruning back the outermost growth of the tree so that the branches become shorter and thicker. Allowing the limbs to grow longer and thinner will cause the limbs to snap under the weight of the fruit. Ideally, you want to 20 to 30 percent of last year’s growth.
To some, this may be over kill when it comes to managing deer habitat, but to me, this is a gold mine. Anything you or I can do to provide our whitetails with more food, we should be doing. It’s our jobs as conservationists to give back to the wildlife and the environment. Help nature provide any chance you get. Happy growing.

Weekly Update - 1/24/2014back
CITY MANAGER'S WEEKLY UPDATE
Each week, the City Manager's Office provides an update that includes information on programs, services and issues within the City, as well as news, project updates and follow-up information when applicable. It can be found on the City's website.
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Crime Spree: A man believed to be on drugs while on an hours-long crime spree in Coronado Sunday, January 19, remains at large. Police continue to follow leads on the man, who is described as white, or possibly Latino, in his late teens or early 20s, with dark hair and a light complexion. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, no shirt and one shoe. He was first discovered at 9:18 p.m. on Sunday cooking food in the kitchen of a Coronado family, who chased him away. The suspect committed other crimes in the city. Witnesses say he broke into a home, stole a car and burglarized another home and another vehicle. Police, a San Diego County Sheriff's helicopter and National City canine units searched for the man, who was last seen involved in a car accident and then on a roof in the 1000 block of Orange Avenue. Police ask anyone with information about any of the crimes or the suspect to call (619) 522-7350.
Attempted Kidnapping: Police also continue to investigate a report of an attempted kidnapping on Saturday, January 18 in Coronado. An 8-year-old girl skating near Star Park Circle reported a man in a red van with a partial license plate of 773 told her to get in his vehicle. There was no physical contact and the girl skated home and reported the incident to her mother. The man is described as a 6-foot Hispanic man with a tattoo dragon or snake on his right arm and was last seen wearing a yellow T-shirt and blue jeans. There was a black and white dog inside the vehicle. Any witnesses are asked to call (619) 522-7350.
City Council Commendations: At the City Council meeting Tuesday, January 21, two Coronado Police Officers were honored for their lifesaving actions in separate incidents. Senior Officer Bill Canet was honored for his actions to revive a woman whose heart had stopped in August. Sr. Officer Canet arrived within three minutes of the call and performed CPR on the woman after not finding a pulse. Another officer arrived and deployed an Automatic External Defibrillator. Fire officials took over and transported the woman to the hospital. Canet drove the husband to the hospital and promised to pick him up, which he did four hours later. The husband said his wife was breathing on her own and had opened her eyes. Earlier this month, Officer Sherri Mannello arrived at an assisted living facility to help a choking person. The man had an obstructed airway, no pulse and was not breathing. Mannello, with no assistance, moved the patient, cleared his airway and began performing CPR. Fire officials arrived and took the man, who by then was conscious and breathing, to the hospital. Each officer received a Certificate of Commendation.

Special Events Permits: The following are special events issued for beach and parks scheduled to be held from Saturday, January 25, through Friday, January 31.
San Diego Blood Bank Blood Drive
Student Tour & Beach Games
Board and Commission Vacancies: Residents who are registered voters are encouraged to serve on City boards, committees and commissions. Four members are needed on the Transportation Commission: one from the Cays; one from the Shores; one from the Village; and one at-large. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on February 7. There has been one vacancy on the Street Tree Committee since November. Responsibilities of this committee are to periodically review the City's approved tree list and make recommendations to the City Council regarding additions and deletions of trees, and on matters pertaining to trees along City streets and on public property. The position is open until filled. Additionally, there is a vacancy on the Parks & Recreation Commission. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on February 5. Applications are online.
San Diego International Airport's Land-Use Compatibility Plan and Final EIR: The City has received notice that the Airport Land Use Commission is scheduled to consider adoption of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the San Diego International Airport along with the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) at its meeting February 6. Although Coronado is located outside of the “Overflight Area Boundary” of the San Diego International Airport (SDIA), a portion of Coronado is within the “Airspace Protection Boundary” of SDIA, and is subject to airspace protection policies and standards described in the proposed ALUCP. The documents are available for review at the Coronado Public Library and by clicking on the following links:
Community Center Carpet and Panel Fabric Replacement: A preconstruction meeting was held and installation dates were set for replacing the carpet and panel fabric at the Community Center. The carpets and fabric have had much wear and tear from the near-daily events in the banquet and other meeting rooms. Ordering and manufacturing of the carpet will take approximately two months. The schedule for the panel fabric to be replaced is from February 17-21; the banquet room carpet will be replaced from April 14-18. No events are scheduled during these dates; therefore, users will not be impacted.
Youth Programs: A Kids' Craft was held on Tuesday, January 21. Children made small Chinese dragons in time for Chinese New Year. On Teen Wednesday, January 22, the film “Monsters U” was shown in the Winn Room. Yesterday, the Junior Volunteers met and Spanish Story Hour was held. Regular Story Hours also were held as usual on Tuesday and Friday mornings.
Above and below: Photos of the Kids' Craft on Tuesday, January 21.
Friends' Gala: The Coronado Friends of the Library is planning its gala fundraising event, “You're Overdue for a Visit,” at the Library on February 7. The event will have catered food, wine and beer, as well as entertainment. A cake walk will be held in the Winn Room, and promoting the Library will be part of the program. This will include demonstrations of the Coronado PhotoAtlas, a web-based resource that displays current and historical image of Coronado places as located by their street address; and a showing of several “special collections” such as old Coronado High School yearbooks, historical photos of the Navy in Coronado, rare maps and charts, Hotel del Coronado ephemera, old sheet music, and Ramos Martinez/La Avenida photos and mural memorabilia. Tickets are $50 each. See the flyer below for more information.
Neighborhood Watch: Patrol officers attended the Landing Condominiums Homeowners Association board meeting on Thursday, January 16. The group discussed bicycle theft prevention and officers handed out 9-1-1 safety magnets.
Federal Search Warrants: On Wednesday January 22, the FBI served two search warrants in the Coronado Cays. The nature of the investigation is not known. The warrants were served without incident.
Volunteer Recognition: The Police Department held a recognition event for several community members who volunteer for the Police Department. The Senior Volunteer participants donated 8,294 hours of service during 2013. Part of that service was eight special events and more than 1,200 vacation house checks as a service to Coronado residents. Reserve Police Officers donated many hours of volunteer service during community events and to augment field services personnel. The Animal Care Facility has a volunteer who regularly assists the staff with its daily responsibilities.
Animal Care Facility Update: As reported in the last edition of the Weekly Update, initial results for two animals at the Animal Care Facility tested for ringworm show that they may not have the fungus. The City is closely monitoring the situation and will report on the matter until it is resolved. The test on the only animal found to have a possible lesion will take 14 days to be completed. The final results are due in a few days. Those animals that had any sign of ringworm remain either isolated or in foster homes until the tests show there is no ringworm at the facility, which remains open for adoptions.
Friday Night on the Strand: Tonight, Friday Night on the Strand returns with a Superhero theme at the Coronado Community Center. The event is open to all sixth, seventh and eighth graders and runs from 6 to 9 p.m. The activities include Superhero Minute-to-Win-It, the movie “The Avengers,” dodgeball, snacks, a Superhero costume contest, and other fun events. A large turnout is expected for the first Teen Night since November.

Delta Air Lines (Atlanta) and Virgin Atlantic Airways (London) today outlined details of a new joint venture flight schedule beginning summer 2014, aligning their services and offering more flight choices for travelers on both sides of the Atlantic.
The two airlines are putting the customer at the forefront of their partnership with the new schedule that starts March 30, 2014, combining their slots at London Heathrow to offer maximum customer convenience, particularly for business travelers.
Beginning, April 2, 2014, Delta will move its arrival and departure terminal for several important business markets to join Virgin Atlantic in Heathrow Terminal 3. This includes its London to New York-JFK, London to Boston, and new London to Seattle/Tacoma services and means the two airlines will co-locate on all its New York and Boston flights to London Heathrow. The move will allow for convenient connections and a seamless customer experience for customers flying with Virgin and Delta, including access to Virgin Atlantic’s award winning Clubhouse for all business class passengers.
Delta, in cooperation with Virgin Atlantic, will also operate a second daily service between London Heathrow and Detroit Metropolitan Airport effective June 1, 2014. The service will be particularly appealing to corporate customers needing an early morning arrival into London while offering more schedule choice for customers between London and the U.S. Midwest.
This additional flight will complement Delta’s previously announced new West Coast route between Seattle/Tacoma and London Heathrow, which will launch on March 29, 2014.
Virgin Atlantic is also making significant schedule changes. It is moving its VS1 Heathrow to Newark service from a late afternoon departure to a morning departure. This flight will be particularly attractive to business travelers: it will allow ‘same-day meetings’ to be held in the New Jersey area, while an earlier departure on the return flight means passengers can be in central London for the start of the working day.
This service is part of nine daily flights between London Heathrow and the New York area by the joint venture partners. The new schedule will include departures every 30 minutes during the early evening peak and then hourly until 10.30 p.m. from New York-JFK to London Heathrow and a spread of seven daily flights from London Heathrow to New York-JFK, including two late afternoon and early evening departures. It also includes two conveniently timed departures to and from Newark.
Virgin Atlantic has also retimed its Heathrow to Boston service to depart two hours later in the afternoon. This offers more flexibility for the two airlines’ customers with Delta’s Heathrow to Boston service departing in the morning. Virgin Atlantic’s evening departure from Boston will also move two hours later, giving greater schedule choice to travelers.
In September, Delta and Virgin Atlantic welcomed the decision by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to approve the carriers’ joint venture by granting antitrust immunity on routes between North America and the UK. This ruling confirmed the clear consumer benefits of the partnership, enabling the airlines to deepen their cooperation, offering more flight choices for travelers on both sides of the Atlantic and improving the travel options for business customers in the New York to London market.

Well, I'm not too sure myself since I have not really gone to that part of the code, but this is my (shallow?) understanding.
Cutting and pasting files within the same drive is a MFT/FAT reallocation; upon moving the file from one place to another on the same volume, the file reference is modified. Moving a file between volumes however involves the deletion of the file from the source drive and the creation of the exact file on the destination drive. This will leave the contents of the old file on the old drive without ofuscation and can therefore be recovered.
I believe Secure Move does the move operation then erases the file.

Employees across the country are living with unprecedented levels of financial stress. PwC has reported that 67% of employees find coping with their finances to be stressful. And they’re bringing that stress to their jobs, on average spending 13 work hours per month thinking about or managing financial issues, according to Mercer. The effect is bad for business, as well as your people.
Employees’ frequent need for extra cash between paychecks drives a lot of their financial stress, because it often forces them to rely on solutions (such as account overdrafts) which cost a lot and set them back even further. Even’s devoted a lot of airtime to this dilemma on its podcast, Money Ha Ha. This post summarizes the podcast episodes we’ve put out about the causes of needing cash between paychecks, and the costs that can result. If you’re looking for a resource to share with employees who may be struggling between checks, consider sharing this with them.
Though Even’s research shows most employees are quite conscientious about money management, surprises both small and large can sabotage even the best-laid plans and leave them strapped for cash between paydays.
In Money Ha Ha episode 015, “Biweekly Pay: We Math Excellent (w/ Zeke Nicholson),” co-host Dara M Wilson explained:
“A downside of biweekly pay can be that, even though you’re getting paid twice a month, most of your bills are due once a month, which gets confusing. Especially when one of those bills is rent, and you’re living in a very expensive place, a lot of the time one paycheck can go all to your rent.”
To reduce the chance of having a whole paycheck drained by bills, co-host Yasmine Khan recommended that listeners try to reschedule their bill due dates. Phone, cable, and other providers are often willing to work with customers to make sure the schedule of money going out matches the timing of money coming in.
In episode 010, “Income Shocks: Ghosts in Our Throats,” we talked about how financial shocks can come in the form of unexpectedly low income or high expenses. Yasmine shared these stats from the Pew Research Center on how common such shocks are:
“Six in 10 households report experiencing a financial shock in the past year. More than half of those people struggled to make ends meet as a result. The typical household spent $2,000, or about half a month of income, on its most costly shock.”
To become more resilient to income and expense shocks, the co-hosts’ advice this week was to go back and listen to episode 006, which encouraged listeners to get together with their communities and discuss how to support each other through tough financial times.
Since the need for extra cash between paychecks is so common, the financial industry has supplied multiple products to meet that need. Unfortunately, many of those products charge high fees and/or interest, which puts people already under financial pressure into double jeopardy.
In episode 020, “Bank Fees: Mundane Shame (w/ Atsuko Okatsuka),” Yasmine quoted some startling facts about how much Americans are paying when they overdraw their accounts:
“In 2014, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that 30% of accounts incurred at least one overdraft a year — so, a third of people. And overdraft fees on family and personal checking accounts cost Americans guess-how-much as a whole every year?”
The answer, $14 billion, bowled the co-hosts and guests over. To help listeners avoid being part of this statistic, co-host Dara M Wilson recommended listeners check out NerdWallet’s list of the best checking accounts and consider switching to one with more consumer-friendly fee policies.
According to Forbes, in the 12 months leading up to August 2018, $104 billion of Americans’ hard-earned money went to paying interest on credit cards. But as Yasmine points out in episode 004, “Credit Cards: Shame Magnets (w/ Kelly Anneken),” “Most people don’t actually think of [credit card spending] as debt. Therefore, they don’t think about the interest rate.” To help listeners start factoring in the high cost of credit, Yasmine gave out this action item:
“Find out the actual rate—the monthly cost of your current credit card. I know that sounds really scary. But the first step in taking charge of this thing is to not shove it away into the shame drawer, but just take a peek.”
The Pew Charitable Trusts has shared the statistic that 12 million Americans spend $9 billion taking out payday loans annually. Our guest for episode 024, “Cash Crunch Borrowing: No Shame in the Game!” was Rachel Schneider, author of The Financial Diaries. Based on her deep experience researching the financial habits of Americans, she’s familiar with the thought process of people who reluctantly take out expensive loans:
“You essentially sign over your next paycheck and say, ‘I’ll repay this money with my next paycheck.’ If you’re actually able to repay that loan, fine. The interest rates are super expensive. What happens is most people are not able to repay that loan. And so the biggest trap is probably thinking, ‘I’m going to be able to repay this,’ and taking out this loan that you can’t repay. That now is going to roll over, and roll over, and roll over, and have higher fees and make it harder and harder to get out from under it.”
To avoid getting sucked into the dreaded loan spiral, Rachel’s action item for listeners was to start up a saving habit. “Even if you’re saving $1.00 a week, it does add up,” she said. “Eventually, you find yourself with the cushion that can help you avoid borrowing.”
As these Money Ha Ha episodes show, it’s common to run out of money before payday, and many of the existing solutions out there are too expensive. For folks without savings to fall back on, an affordable on-demand pay product can be a life-saver. But building up your own savings is the ultimate way to cushion yourself between checks—and we’ve got recommendations about how to get started in Episode 007, “Short-Term Saving: Chronoptimism,” and the final episode of the season, “Saving for Vacation: Like a Grown-up! (w/ Erin Ryan).
Now that you’re set on this topic of accessing money between paychecks, check out the many other issues Money Ha Ha has covered — from medical expenses to FOMO spending — by listening to the rest of the podcast’s first season here.

Oooooh Weeeeeee! Oooohhhhh fucking Weeeeee!
I’ve been a Bison B.C. fan since their early days simply loving their downtuned sludge and bass heavy grooves, heard not only on their indie release back in 2007 but on both their Metal Blade records up until this point (’08s Quiet Earth and 2010’s Dark Ages). All three records have been very good even if they weren’t the most groundbreaking recordings in the world. In fact, they were often compared to Mastodon, High on Fire and bands of that ilk. Lovelessness however, finds the band fully establishing their own sound.
The album begins with the sludge filled intro to “An Old Friend” before the tune launches into some fierce riffs and back down into the muck again. After that point though, something totally unexpected happens. These fuckers thrash the hell out. “Anxiety Puke/Lovelessness” is ferocious, in a smash-bodies-into-a-wall type way. Listening to “Last and First Things” you can just see the band flying around the stage without a care to what it mangles along the way.
It’s the near 11 minutes of “Blood Music” which ends up being a monstrous wall of sound, bowel shaking, earth shattering, loud-as-fuck sound. A few times throughout the tune they add some atmospheric fuzz in to create one of the most unique tracks they’ve released.
I came into this expecting to shut my eyes and sway back and forth to the sludge and instead I had to grit my teeth and snarl at onlookers for 45 minutes. Bison B.C. have taken their music to a new level with Lovelessness and if you didn’t take them seriously before, it’s time to watch out for these guys.

For those that think metal is made up of a bunch of meatheads, think again. I know I’m not Einstein by any means but I’m no dummy either. But jeez, there’s a lot of shit in metal that I just don’t understand. Whether these bands have to look up the terms and names they use or they are at the tip of their tongues is unknown but I had no idea what Antropomorphia meant (it’s a non-human and/or non-living thing having human characteristics). I had however heard of the group before this point thanks to the killer compilation of early material called Necromantic Love Songs, via the Crypt.
The band formed in 1989 released a few demos and an EP in ’93, an LP called Pure in 1998 and then disbanded. But the renewed interest in 2011 by the Crypt got them back into the studio to record a new record. I’ve been called a poser before because I collect cool looking vinyl whether it be artwork or the color of the disc and for that purpose only, worry less about the music (never mind the thousands of discs I’ve listened to) but without that I would have never heard of these guys. So laugh all you want at the dude that spends 30 bucks on the die hard vinyl edition of some obscure group but at least I’m supporting the industry and discovering new bands that way. Rant. Done.
Anyway, their first album for Metal Blade marks a remarkably different sound for the group. They are still death metal like they always were. But without the major backing their production was kind of flat and the tunes kind of one dimensional. They were certainly brutal enough back in ’93 and they still are, so that hasn’t changed. But with a bigger label comes a better sound. The production values are great showing off the individual skills of the band that got buried in the mix before. Start to finish the album is riff heavy and filled with unholy growls. But there’s also a lot of catchy melodic riffs throughout as well. And the drumming really stands out on this record, recorded well and not just generic blast beats.
“Psuchagogia” (another word that I have no clue what it means – and fuck, it might be made up since there’s no definition anywhere that I can find) is the lead track and the best one on the record. Led by a great baseline and a thunderous riff, it’s punctuated by a kind of catchy chorus and some vicious soloing. There’s even a creepy slow-and-low breakdown in the middle to add some texture.
Overall, Evangelivm Nekromantia is one of the best death metal releases of the year and a far cry from the previous output of the band. Maybe this is the indication of a promising resurrection of their career.

Titi Maurice is a native speaker of Coptic, which puts her in a group of only hundreds worldwide. “As long as Coptic exists, no matter how small the number of speakers, it connects us to ancient Egypt,” she says. Now a number of initiatives are aimed at reviving that connection to the language of the pharaohs.
Only when I experienced prison myself and grasped the power dynamics did I understand: Prisoners go on hunger strikes not because they cannot resist anymore but because the only act of resistance left to reclaim their body is to destroy it.
Foreign belly dancers, who hail from Eastern Europe, Latin America and the United States, were brought in to fill the space left by Egyptian dancers and now uphold what is viewed as a quintessential Egyptian art.
About 40 feet inside the temple area, the archaeologists were disappointed to find just a single coffin. One of their Egyptian workers, however, discovered a small crevice in the ground that revealed they were standing on an artificial plateau that ultimately led to yet another undisturbed grave, this time a mass of priests.
When Egypt entered the war with Israel in 1948, the government claimed that victory was assured. But when Egypt’s army instead suffered a defeat, the public demanded answers. Historian Chloe Bordewich joins New Lines’ Lydia Wilson to talk about how officials lost control of the narrative, how a rumor helped topple a king and the dynamics of disinformation before the digital age.
The houseboats got in the way of development, say Egyptian authorities. But demolishing them erases a remnant of Cairo's history. At the least, the government should have picked one houseboat to preserve as a museum to the legend of German spies Johannes Eppler and Heinrich Sandstede.
It’s impossible to know whether Brunner saw the legacy of his brutal tactics bear fruit. But there is little doubt that Syrian and Egyptian interrogators today apply the same methods against their compatriots that the Nazis used against the Jews.

Gorgeous long waterfront Promenade. Right at the water's edge are severamente beach bars great first aperitivo (happy hour drinks) or lounge on the beach after taking a dip in sea at one of the private beach lounges. Was there during the day but could see it as a very romantic sunset walk.

The Magna Grecia denotation is among other things an exceptional appellation in the sense that transcends national boundaries and nationalism as such. Italy with this museum and the Egyptioan in Torino is a world leader in sensitive unassuming serious presentations. The richness, texture, materials, geography are impressive and didactic. The museum is not crammed or grandstanding in any of its constituents. The building is solid and not meuseumesque. The personal, notation, framing are pleasant and do nt intervene or meddle.
The Riace duet is something worth coming to Italy for and you shall read the story and reflect on form, technique, beauty, history of and kinetic geometry.

I remember Taormina many decades ago when it was a lovely and pretty village. Now it's a chi chi tourist supermecado driven by economic forces that have stolen the heart of a once proud lion and needs but an admission turnstile to complete the desecration. I couldn't await to arrive each of three times I went and couldn't wait to leave the last time just this week.
Gerace is for me now something of what Taormina once was, minus a few vista bells and whistles. It's smart, lovely and varied in its offerings and overall extremely impressive. It won't be long before many more know this to be true. We'll see what fate has in store for it at such a point in time.
The crown jewel is the largest in Calabria Cathedral, with its fascinating not so small compelling museum underground. Together they resonate medieval times and values while providing insights and a fascinating education as to what it meant olive during such a period in such an environment. The architectural masterpieces abound in both setting and structure thought Gerace.
It's also a great town for shopping as prices are almost ridiculous in terms of wonderful value for great options in a few select shops. My wife and I walked out of two shops having spent under E80 and loaded for bear with delightful mementos for much of our extended family. You'd think we'd spent $350 for the lot.
Great town, wonderful Cathedral and museum, compelling history and dining, bergamot liquor (and other related products) as well as many other shops easy on the pocketbook. What a visit!

We were there on an overcast day, but could still easily see Sicily. Area is local hangout. People were very friendly. We were lost and asked directions and a man had us follow him in his car to our Ban B, which would have been extremely difficult to find on our own.
Later returned for a drink in a little bar. Enjoyed watching the old townfolk hanging around.

The old village lies on a scenic place. Because of people needed to move, there is no more permanent living people here. But some artists and some shops with local products are coming here, especially with bergamot products. Very interesting, nice and tastfull

This ancient Greek theater replica is in the central part of Reggio's Lungo Mare, seaside Promenade. It's certainly one of the highlights and Reggio's landmarks.
The bronze statue of goddess Athena protects the people of Reggio, and is a perfect photo spot with Sicily in the background.

It is a small religious building located adjacent to the Stilo village, on the slopes of Monte Consolino. The term "Cattolica" probably comes from the Greek "Katholikon" which indicates the place of worship of a monastic complex or the cultural center for hermits who lived in the same area. The expressive richness, belonging to a typically Byzantine architectural tradition, places it in full title among the most notable Calabrian monuments.
I travelled alone there during February 2014. This hamlet is so peaceful and the view is one of the most amazing that i ever seen before. Cattolica is a church where Tommaso Campanella made Stilo famous for his Scripts like "La Cittá del Sole - City of the Sun". I suggest to Travellers, Wanderers and fanatic of Arts to see it and enjoy the historical course of life. 10/10

MUSABA is located in the heart of Calabria, in Italy's southernmost Mainland province, Reggio Calabria. Sited in the Torbido River valley near the village of Mammola, MUSABA is ten kilometres uphill from the Ionian Sea and can be reached directly by the Ionio-Tirreno highway. MUSABA - Fondazione Spatari/Maas is a private institution, a non-profit creative and intellectual foundation, an integration of art, science, architecture, environment, archaeology, history, biological farming and research centre relevant to the Mediterranean artistic-cultural heritage. Created by artists Nik Spatari and Hiske Maas in 1969, the Spatari/Maas Foundation defines, activates, and realizes its purposes through innovative programmes at MUSABA.
During an otherwise lovely trip to Mammola and Reggio Calabria, we made the unfortunate decision to stop in for a visit to the MuSaBa.
When we arrived on a Friday afternoon in July, the grounds were completely empty and no sign of the proprietor or staff. We walked up the hill toward what looked like the main building, when we were stopped by a woman (the owner/artist?) who (in perfect English) told us we were on a private walkway and to turn around. She made no effort to introduce herself, welcome us, or ask us anything about why were at the museum. Instead, she found it odd enough that we were four men traveling to together to ask us why that was the case. Bizarre. Eventually, a younger girl appeared to take us into one of three buildings on the hill. She collected our 5 euros/person and after spending about 5 minutes in one building, she said that the keys/doors to the other two buildings were not working and that we couldn't see anything else. We left.
Overall, a bizarre experience with poor service. Avoid.

Definitely the best Ice Cream of Reggio Calabria. Soft, tasty, with numerous cool flavours, this became my favourite spot in the city. This place stand out from the other Gelateries based on pure quality. The best combination, in my opinion, is the "Spagnola" (cherry and cream based) and "Cesarella" (nutella based). Fantastic.

Texas authorities continue finding new ways to harm LGBTQ youth. The eagle-eyed Jo Yurcaba at NBC News (who I used to work with at Bustle) found that the state’s Department of Health website quietly removed LGBTQ suicide prevention resources from its website. Instead of listing the phone number, website, and text line for the Trevor Project, as it did at the beginning of February, the website no longer includes any links for LGBTQ youth. Instead, information on the Trevor Project can only be found in a PDF for “Parent and Youth Suicide Prevention” but does not include information about the Trevor Project in the least bit. The prior language on the Health Department site stated that the nonprofit “is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning young people under 25.”
When reached by Yurcaba, Trevor Project director of advocacy and government affairs Sam Ames condemned the Texas Department of Health’s decision to remove the Trevor Project from its list of suicide prevention resources on its suicide prevention page. “[Removing the resource] because they are specific to LGBTQ youth is not only offensive and wrong, it’s dangerous,” Ames said. This isn’t the first time LGBTQ resources have been removed from Texas state government websites. According to NBC News, a resources portal for LGBTQ youth was removed from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website in August. Officials claim the webpage is under review but it has yet to come back online.

HAIFA, ISRAEL, SEPT. 28 -- The sun had just risen but already was hot in the south of France, Noah Klieger remembers, when people started piling out of trucks and into the improbable vessel of their deliverance, a decrepit Chesapeake Bay cruise ship called the President Warfield.
They were European Jews, most of them survivors of the Nazi death camps, people with no papers, no passports and no place to go. There were 4,554 of them -- including 1,732 women and 955 children -- and they had only one destination in mind: Palestine. By nightfall, the President Warfield was steaming in that direction with British warships on its tail and a new name, the Exodus, on its bow. "We thought we were just another blockade runner trying to make our way to the Land of Israel," says Klieger, a crew member on that fateful July 1947 voyage. "But then history took us over."
The voyage turned into a two-month odyssey when the British refused to allow the ship to land. In the process, the Exodus became a world-renowned symbol of Jewish longing for a homeland and the last symbolic nail in the coffin of British colonial rule. Eight months later, the state of Israel was born.
Tonight, as part of a year-long celebration to honor the 40th anniversary of the Exodus, hundreds of passengers, crew members and others involved in the Jewish independence movement gathered in Tel Aviv for a festive assembly in an auditorium whose stage was designed to resemble the ship. Government ministers and politicians toasted the aging heroes.
Earlier today, though, there was a more modest and bittersweet reunion aboard a small excursion boat in this port city, destination of the original Exodus. As the boat wound its way from Haifa to Tel Aviv on a sentimental voyage, members of the Exodus crew joined 130 young Jews, most of them from the United States, to talk about the veterans' experiences and to mourn, in passing, the loss of the Zionist idealism that drove them 40 years ago to attempt the impossible and to succeed.
"I was so proud to be part of it," recalled Ephraim Menaker, an Exodus crew member, who along with his wife, Fira, was on today's voyage. "I was no Zionist, but I knew after the war that my place was here in Israel and not anyplace else. At that time, the Jews were looking for a homeland. Today, the homeland is looking for Jews."
Klieger, an Auschwitz survivor whose tattooed concentration camp number is still visible on his wrist, was then a romantic 20-year-old looking to hook up with a girlfriend in a British detention camp on Cyprus. Today, he is a hard-bitten journalist for Yediot Aharonot, Israel's largest daily, and he, too, wonders what happened to the dream. The fact that most Jews have remained in the diaspora bewilders and angers him.
"It was only 40 years ago, but it feels like 4,000," he said. "We created a country, not just for us but for the whole Jewish people, but the whole bloody people doesn't want us."
Answers were easier back in those days. The British, mandatory rulers of Palestine since the close of World War I, were weary and about to cut their losses.
The Mossad, not the slick Israeli superspy agency of today but a group of ragged, desperate Zionist patriots, was frantically combing the ports of Europe and North America for cheap boats for the high-risk run to Palestine. More than 60 eventually made the trip, carrying more than 90,000 Jews, the backbone of the Jewish state.
Mossad agents purchased the President Warfield in Baltimore in November 1946. It was named for Solomon Warfield, president of the Old Bay Line and an uncle of Wallis Warfield Simpson, the duchess of Windsor. The flat-bottomed, four-decked ferry navigated the choppy Atlantic and for months wandered from port to port in Europe under the watchful eyes of British intelligence. Sympathetic French immigration officials in the port of Sete at last allowed the boat to hook up with its passengers.
It was a time when ordinary people performed extraordinary deeds. Fira Menaker was 19, but she traveled overland from Poland to Czechoslovakia to Austria to Germany and ultimately to France with 52 orphans, ages 6 through 15, whom she escorted on board. They obeyed her every command, she says.
"They were wonderful," she recalled. "They looked at me as if I was a messiah. I had some kind of strength. Looking back, I don't know how I did it. I just did."
Menaker, a kindergarten teacher who lives outside Tel Aviv, still carries dog-eared, black-and-white photos from the voyage. One shows all 52 of her orphans, well-scrubbed and smiling, a few days before their departure. Another shows them on board a British prison vessel with the Union Jack flying overhead but defaced by a large swastika that Menaker says the passengers concocted out of toothpaste.
Klieger was quickly drafted to be a member of the mostly American crew and let in on their plan. The idea was to chug slowly toward the Palestine coast, then break loose near Haifa and outrace their British escorts to the shore.
But the British had other ideas. Six days out of port and 12 miles from shore, British sailors boarded the Exodus, setting off a pitched battle in which three Jewish crew members were shot dead and hundreds overcome by tear gas. After the boat was rammed, the passengers finally surrendered and were transported to Haifa, only to be reloaded into three British prison ships and returned to France.
Britain wanted France to take back the Jews in order to discourage future attempts. But a young French Cabinet minister named Francois Mitterrand announced that his government would not force the passengers to leave the ships, and the passengers themselves refused. "None but dead men will land here," said a spokesman.
For 19 days, the British kept the passengers aboard the ships outside Port-de-Bouc in desperately hot, disease-ridden conditions, playing a waiting game while world opinion inexorably built against London. A French newspaper dubbed the ships a "Floating Auschwitz." Five babies were born on board, and one died.
Finally, after a British Cabinet meeting, the ships departed for Hamburg. The spectacle of 4,500 Jews being forced to disembark in Germany, the heartland of the Holocaust nightmare, added poignancy.
"The British plan was the right plan," says Klieger. "It took everything into consideration but one thing -- the spirit of 4,500 people from the death camps who didn't even consider giving up."
Within a few weeks, a special United Nations committee had recommended immediate freedom for Palestine and its partition between Arabs and Jews. The British left, and the Arab-Israeli wars began. As for the passengers of the Exodus, consigned to two displaced-persons camps in Germany, all eventually made their way to Israel within six months of its birth in May 1948.
The ferry rusted in a corner of Haifa's port until it was towed out to sea and allowed to sink.
Today's ferry was not much of an improvement over that early boat. There was plenty to drink and eat but the lone toilet soon was overflowing. The young passengers sat listlessly baking in the Mediterranean sun as the boat wended south.
They are in Israel working on kibbutzim or attending Hebrew-language classes and many are weighing whether to emigrate to a society whose idealism sometimes seems to have been overwhelmed by too many wars, too many promises and an overdose of cynicism.
"We need to find some way to connect with these kids, to make them understand what Israel can be," said Reuben Surkis, an official of the World Zionist Organization, which organized today's outing. "We thought if they learned about the struggle for Jewish independence, it might help."
Many of the young people seemed interested in today's effort, but some said they were tired of being lectured to, tired of being made to feel guilty for not living in this difficult land. "Usually you get the same spiel," said Nigel Broskarsh, 25, a social worker from London. "You get some guy from the Jewish Agency telling you what to think."
Klieger is pessimistic. "People are so cynical about Zionism and about Israel," he said. "This trip won't change anything."
Still, he smiled when he recalled the days 40 years ago when a seeming defeat -- the failure of the Exodus to elude the British ships and get to Haifa -- turned into a victory.
"If we had succeeded in doing what we set out to do, we would have disappeared into history," he said. "Instead, out of sheer luck, we failed, and we became what we are."

Enterprise Ireland says the Republic and Scotland face ‘mutual Brexit challenges
Minister for Business Heather Humphreys will lead the trade mission, which will focus on Glasgow and Edinburgh.
More than 50 Irish companies are to take part in a trade mission to Scotland this week as Enterprise Ireland warns of the “challenges” of Brexit.
Exports in each direction have increased by more than 100 per cent since 2012, while Irish-Scottish trade exceeded £1.8 billion in 2017, up by 130 per cent over the last five years.
Some of the companies taking part in the trade mission are Glennon Brothers, Grid Solutions, Xocean, Corlytics, Solgari, Quaternion and AgriSpread, which was the overall winner of the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena Awards at the national Ploughing Championships last week.
Minister for Business Heather Humphreys is to lead the trade mission, which will be focused on Glasgow and Edinburgh, and will take place over Wednesday and Thursday.
Ms Humphreys’ itinerary will take in Glennon Brothers’ facility in Troon, as well as a joint event with SSE at the energy giant’s offshore wind centre.
She will also attend a trade dinner at Glasgow City Chamber; pay a visit to the University of Edinburgh; and meet her Scottish counterpart Derek McKay.
The 56 companies travelling to Scotland are based in key sectors such as renewable energy, construction, fintech, agricultural technologies and digital technology.
Enterprise Ireland’s UK manager Deirdre McPartlin said the Republic and Scotland face “mutual challenges” from Brexit.
“While we undoubtedly have multiple opportunities ahead, we also share mutual challenges and foremost among these is Brexit which brings a degree of uncertainty and concern for both our countries,” she said.
“Again, this is an area we can work on with Scotland as a new trading relationship between both countries evolves.”

Such a lot somebody attracted to such subject matters as production mythology, Jungian idea, or the assumption of "secret teachings" in old Judaism and Christianity has discovered "gnosticism" compelling. but the time period "gnosticism," which frequently connotes a unmarried rebellious circulate opposed to the existing religions of past due antiquity, offers the misunderstanding of a monolithic spiritual phenomenon.
"Tobit" is likely one of the "Apocrypha", a suite of books rejected from their canon via the Jews yet authorised through a few of the Christian church fathers. Ever because the 4th century CE, commentaries were written on "Tobit". the unique Hebrew and Aramaic types of "Tobit" have been misplaced, till fragments have been chanced on as a part of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" in 1947.

And so, at the age of eleven, I started to train as a tinsmith. Several months earlier, my brother-in-law had brought a journeyman from Lemberg by the name of Mates. He was a native of Rohatyn, in Galicia, a good tradesman and, as it turned out, a very honest man. My brother-in-law worked mainly in the villages making new roofs for churches. Every Friday he would come home for the Sabbath and ask my sister if I had obeyed her and if I had been a good boy. And it was seldom that she said that I had been obedient.
On the third day, I recited the mishna for my teacher. He was happy. After all, it was the first time I had studied alone, and it was such a difficult Gemara. So, there were certain chapters that the teacher taught to all of us boys together. But several select students, including me, studied Gemara on our own. Once I was sitting and reading the mishna that begins, “If a man sells a house . . ,”10 and the teacher was studying the chapter “A presumptive title to houses” with another youth—the Innkeeper’s Zekharye he was called.
He brought a plate of potatoes and fried onions, along with a nice 28 m i n n i e g o l d s t e i n steak! He put it down and went away. My mother sat there looking at me and said, “You see what he brought me? Why are you looking at it that way? You would eat it, wouldn’t you, you treyf soul! It’s because of you and your father that I was driven out of my home. ” So, she called over the steward and told him that this was not what she had ordered. She wanted him to bring her plain boiled potatoes and raw onions.
