Ariel Roblin: 'Inflation relief' and getting help to people who truly need it
Whether you're in support of the state's new inflation relief solution or not, most agree that if the money is being spent, it needs to go to those who truly need it.
Everyone is feeling the impact of inflation, but the high prices of gas and food are devastating our most vulnerable.
Right now, we have potentially millions of seniors and others with disabilities who live on fixed incomes that need the relief but won't be among the 23 million people and their dependents getting payments in the fall.
As KCRA 3 News has reported, California lawmakers required the payments go only to people who filed tax returns – just like with the Golden State Stimulus, another program that left out the same group.
Our station has received numerous calls and emails from seniors who said they feel cheated by being excluded from the payments after paying taxes for years.
California settled on tax returns as the standard for inflation relief because it wanted to make sure the program wouldn't be ripe for fraud and that's certainly a real issue.
But we have brilliant minds and innovative businesses in California, so why is it that we can't find a better way for people to prove their identity?
Government can't do it alone, but embracing California businesses with our shared goals of a stronger California will bring solutions to reduce fraud and get people the help they need.

The death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an African-American youth, at the hands of self-appointed neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman has recently captivated this nation in controversy. Critics are upset about the way the case was handled by local law enforcement officials, especially the fact that Zimmerman was never arrested or charged with wrongdoing after shooting the unarmed teen.
As to be expected in any high-profile case, new information is being brought to light every day about the circumstances of the shooting and the personal lives of both Zimmerman and Martin. The pervasiveness of racial bias in our society is being spotlighted as the center-point of the debate while celebrities and common citizens don hoodies to protest the notion that a certain style of dress labels one as suspicious and justifies hostile treatment.
It is difficult to judge at this time whether or not George Zimmerman’s actions were racially motivated but it seems clear that he acted from fear and perceived threat; even though in reality the only threat that existed was in his own mind. In the court of public opinion, however, both sides of this controversy are pointing fingers and accusing their foes of racial bias.
A crucial lesson to be learned from this tragic event is that bigotry – intolerance of any race, creed, belief or opinion that differs from one’s own – is ingrained in our society and runs deeply through each of us. Bigotry can spring from ignorance, hatred or fear of anything or anyone that is different from us. Interestingly, the word contains the syllable “bi” which means two and wherever bigotry exists there is always a splitting into two parts: “me” and “not-me” or “us” and “them.”
I once heard someone say: “There is no one I hate more than a bigot.” But, you see, that statement itself arises from a type of bigotry. Whenever we choose to hate another we are practicing bigotry by seeing that other person as separate or different.
The fact is that while “We are all Trayvon Martin,” we also are all George Zimmerman.
Each one of us has the capability of harming another person out of our own ignorance, fear or hatred. Each one of us could do exactly what George Zimmerman did under the right circumstances and with the right provocation, because each one of us possesses a Shadow that is controlled by our fear and hatred and kept separate from our own awareness.
To the extent that we are unable to see our connection with others, the fact that we are all One, we hold apart from ourselves anyone and everything that we cannot agree with. And it is this belief that we are separate that allows us to denounce and denigrate and even destroy one another. But the truth is that while we are setting out to destroy the other we actually are bringing about our own destruction.
In order to overcome the divisive and destructive effects of bigotry, we must search our own hearts and our Shadows to discover where we are unable to perceive our Oneness with all others. We must look for the parts of our selves that we have disowned and find a way to reincorporate them.
We cannot solve the problems of bigotry in society until we have made ourselves whole. And from that wholeness, once we recognize that we are connected to everything and everyone, we will at last be able to meet ignorance with wisdom, to meet fear with faith, and to meet hatred with compassion.
We cannot bring Trayvon Martin back to life but we can honor the life he lost by refusing to harbor bigotry within ourselves and by helping our society to heal, one conflict at a time.

The government should factor in access to nature in its new payments strategy for farmers and other landowners in Englanda leading land manager has said.
Jake Fiennes, who sits on the board for Natural England’s national nature reserves, has advised the government to encourage farmers to put better paths in place and educate the public about what they grow, and what nature lives on their land.
Fiennes, the conservation manager for Holkham estate in Norfolk, runs its nature reserve, which includes one of the UK’s most popular beaches. He has estimated the site gets about 1 million visitors a year. He manages the land for the Earl and Countess of Leicester, and it is one of the country’s only privately owned national nature reserves.
The estate is also home to incredibly fragile ecosystems including sand dunes, where rare groundnesting birds including little terns and oystercatchers lay their eggs. Fiennes says he has managed to allow an increase of visitors – and also an increase in breeding success of these birds – with a mixture of education and enforcement, and says this could be a model for the government to adopt.
The government is deciding how to replace post-Brexit farming subsidies. Some landowners have asked to be paid for improving access to their land for the general public, but it is unclear whether the government will adopt this, after pushback from other landowners.
“We will know what has been successful in the landscape scale recovery applications in coming weeks,” Fiennes, the author of a new book on nature-friendly farming called Land Healertold the Guardian.
“I would love to see [access to nature] in local nature recovery, or an option for farmers to take up this to allow greater access into the countryside, but through a mechanism that allows farmers and food growers and nature reserves to have the ability to have greater engagement with the public.”
But the government has not prioritized access to nature, and in fact squashed a review into expanding it, with a then minister arguing the countryside was a “place of business”.
Kate Ashbrook, general secretary of the Open Spaces Society, said: “The new agricultural payments scheme is so far a missed opportunity for public access. Farmers and landowners could be rewarded for improving existing public paths across farmland, mowing wide routes whether they run around or across fields, making them easy to find and use; they could replace awkward stiles with gates or even gaps; they could provide better waymarking. All these would give people the confidence to exercise their rights to enjoy the countryside, which is good for their appreciation of nature, and for their health and wellbeing, and will boost the local economy.”
Fiennes thinks that his model at Holkham could be used by the government to show how huge volumes of visitors can be balanced with protecting fragile ecosystems.
“When the millions of thousands of cars descend on Holkham, people get out and they are surrounded by nature,” he said. “There’s a simple fence line, which means you can have lapwing nesting within 10 meters of a parked car. Nature becomes accustomed to these strange people in these strange vehicles moving up and down. The wigeon happily graze within five feet of the cars.”
He also has the power to ban people who let their dogs off the lead in restricted areas from using the facilities, taking down their numberplates and stopping them from coming to the car parks.
“So we have about 20% of the beaches with restricted access to dogs or no access to dogs, specifically through the bird-breeding season. It has actually has been a success. We have seen an increase in breeding productivity since we implemented this two years ago.”
The public had largely been accepting of this, he said. “If people know why they need to do this, they do the right thing. We have a nice chirpy chap who comes with his dog on a lead and tells them the reason we have these areas roped off is because of these birds which have traveled halfway round the globe to come and nest here, and they have a really fragile existence . Then people understand, and they do the right thing.”
While many who oppose greater access to the countryside worry that it will amount to hordes of people trampling productive farmland and fragile ecosystems, Fiennes thinks there is a simple solution: good fencing and pathways, which he says people use if you put them there.
He thinks the government should pay farmers and other landowners to put these in place, so people can enjoy the countryside without damaging it.
“If you provide easy access, the vast majority of people make use of it,” Fiennes said. “If Holkham is an example of this, we should look at opportunities to engage the public with the farm landscape or private land ownership.
“We have to think about how we can get the public to connect with nature without having to go down a busy country road, or impacting productive farmland, but actually some farm tracks have the ability to be wonderful access routes that currently have no public access , but don’t impact food production. Most farms have farm tracks that don’t have public access – let’s look at those.”

WARNING: Syphilis Infections On The Rise, Experts Don’t Know Why
Syphilis infections in the United States dropped significantly in the 1990s, but cases have been on the upsurge again in recent years. So what’s the cause?
Many health officials don’t know.
MSN News reports that cases of this syphilis have been rising steadily across the country, based on information from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Analyzing public health data through the year 2013, the CDC observed that the incidences of primary and secondary syphilis rose by 10 percent in the period between 2012 and 2013 only. That rate was more than two times as high as rates seen from 2001.
Syphilis incidents vary from place to place, with the Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami and Orlando metropolitan areas having some of the highest cases across the country. Other areas with high rates include Portland, San Antonio, San Diego and San Francisco.
Reported cases of syphilis, which can cause severe health complications, surged and nearly doubled to over 800 cases four years after in the San Francisco Bay Area. A minimum of 15 cases of ocular syphilis, which can lead to blindness, have been reported in the states of California and Washington in the last few months.
A decline in the use of condoms is one obvious culprit. The percentage of men who have sex with men estimated to have had unprotected anal sex within the previous 12 months rose from 48 percent in 2005…

Heat exchanger has wide range of applications in distinct industries. Uniform heat transfer over complete length and circumference of tubes is of high importance in heat exchanger for its efficient working. CFD helps in evaluating Heat exchanger performance by properly capturing the turbulence within fluid flow and velocity + thermal boundary layers overheat Exchanger walls and by identifying the formation of recirculation & dead regions within Heat Exchanger. CFD helps for making an appropriate design modification in Heat Exchanger for improving the heat transfer ability.
Flow & thermal analysis of the heat exchanger was executed for determining heat transfer coefficient, recirculation & dead regions within the flow. Appropriate selection of turbulence model & close capturing of velocity + thermal boundary layers is of great importance while evaluating Heat Exchanger performance. Based on CFD simulation results ineffective area of tubes were identified, and appropriate modifications made for reducing the ineffective regions of tubes. Also a proper methodology developed in CFD for determining heat transfer coefficient over various walls.
Heat transfer coefficient obtained from CFD was compared with analytical heat transfer coefficient using Nusselt’s number. It showed that heat transfer coefficient value was not varying by more than 5 % from analytical value.

There are few places in the United States that have dealt with more challenges than New York City’s Lower Manhattan, between 9/11 and the recession.
But things are definitely changing.
One World Trade Center is now a reality, and the city’s tallest building. The major office and retail mixed-use development, which takes up 16 acres is transforming the neighborhood, which is arguably the financial center of the world.
According to Colliers International, Lower Manhattan leasing activity has decreased recently, but that doesn’t mean the neighborhood hasn’t changed significantly, and the downturn is likely due to strong year-on-year comparisons.
Despite that, Lower Manhattan is a place where people can live work and play and is being pumped up for that reason.
The lease-signing by Conde Nast at One World Trade Center was a game changer. Now that one of the major media outlets that leased space in Midtown has traveled Downton, it means more employees probably want to be close to work and other amenities.
This is why, in the retail world, for example, there are lot of major leases that have been signed. Lower Manhattan seems poised to become a restaurant mecca soon, if it hasn’t been already, with the rise of Shake Shack and other eateries.
There is no reason to think that the area won’t thrive with the addition of several multi-use projects coming online that are on the table.
People are going to want to live and work in the same area. And now a subway commute might be more inconvenient for a schlep to the store. It’s the nature of tenants’ behaviors to want to exist by conveniences.
As long as there are more eateries and activities to do something other than go into an office, that submarket of Manhattan will possibly be one of the locales to watch.

The level of social enterprise self-sufficiency is based on financial objectives, the type of enterprise, and its maturity. Social enterprise methodology does not dictate breakeven or profit-making; rather, financial performance is appraised by the ability of the social enterprise to achieve the financial objectives it has set.
For this reason, the chart below1 does not represent gradation from one stage of development to the next, unless the social enterprise's express objective is to move across the continuum and performance is a question of maturity.
|Traditional Nonprofit / Social Enterprise
|Full Philanthropic Support
|Cash Flow Self-Sufficiency
|Level of income
|No earned income. Relies on subsidies for financial support to sustain operations.
|Earned income covers a portion of operating expenses or recovers some program costs.
|Earned income covers operating expenses of enterprise at lower than market rates.
|Earned income covers all operating expenses without full market-based costs (capital & investments).
|Earned income covers all operating and investment expenses at market rate.
|Enterprise and/or parent organization mostly subsidized.
|Bridges deficit between earned income and expenses, capital investment and growth subsidy.
|Cost of capital, partial subsidies for loans, and capital expenditures.
|Viability through earned income
|Not viable. Requires continued external financing (grants). Cost recovery is often seen as a side benefit rather than an expectation of the program.
|Not viable. Organization is dependent on grants and donations for survival; may self-fund isolated services or activities.
|Approaching viability. Covers direct costs; cost structure and growth subsidized; revenue covers daily operations until breakeven.
|Viability expected. Operational breakeven; no surplus revenue, subsidies diminish; revenues cover all operating costs.
|Viable to profitable. Revenues cover all operating and financial costs; retained earnings finance growth. Nonprofit may change its legal status to that of a for-profit entity.

Badr parliament bloc threatened to take a drastic action in parliament, if IMIS MPs remained absent from parliament sessions.
Since the launch of military operations against ISIS, the Iraqi parliament issued a law that gives MPs within the ranks of IMIS militias several privileges, according to Badr bloc MP, Mohammed Kun.
Iraqi Parliament speaker, Salim al-Jabouri threatened on Thursday to expel absent MPs who claim to be fighting in the ranks of the militias.
The MPs who missed the meeting have been seen recently outside of Iraq, as asserted by several sources.
In a statement al-Jabouri said that the parliament issued a law that doesn't punish absent MPs as long as they claim to be from IMIS militias.
The speaker stressed that he urged to abolish that law, asserting that he will bring up this case in the next parliamentary session especially after seeing several of these members outside of Iraq.
Some of these lawmakers have written testimonies that prove they are engaged with IMIS militias, according to al-Jabouri.
Iranian Militias in Iraq and Syria are Shiite militias formed after the rise of ISIS in Iraq and have been accused of committing war crimes and human rights violations against innocent Sunni civilians in Iraq.


The American Hospital Association is asking the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to drop plans to create two more types of patient surveys in favor of adding supplemental questions to existing surveys.
In a letter sent yesterday, the AHA said adding surveys about patient experiences at hospital outpatient surgery departments and ambulatory surgical centers creates potential confusion "as well as excessive survey administrative burden."
The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) program "already includes multiple overlapping survey tools" assessing patient experiences across multiple care settings, the AHA said in the letter.
The association also suggested CMS consider changing its formula for adjusting scores based on the severity of patient illness. Sicker patients, as well as depressed patients, tend to provide lower scores, AHA said, artificially depressing the scores of hospitals that treat more of those patients.
Among other the points in the letter:
Patients whose care crosses multiple care settings may be confused about which provider or facility is being accessed when receive surveys days or weeks later.
Two existing surveys, one for clinicians and groups and the other for surgical services, already capture similar information. Ambulatory surgical patients could potentially receive three similar surveys for the same "care episode" under the CMS plan.
Modifying an existing survey would relieve hospitals of having to pay vendors even more to administer and analyze results. Those costs could be further reduced if hospitals and their vendors could survey some patients online or via email, instead of just by phone or postal mail.
Given the potential financial ramifications of poor patient-satisfaction scores – up to a 1 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursements--hospitals already are "totally preoccupied" with HCAHPS survey scores, John Haupert, chief executive of Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, told the Wall Street Journal in a recent report.
Meanwhile, a study published earlier this year in the New England Journal of Medicine found that factors such as assessing a specific event or visit, evaluating interactions with all providers (rather than just physicians) and sending out surveys shortly after treatment can provide more meaningful patient-survey results.

An important new report highlights the influence of proxy advisory firms, largely unregulated entities that shape decision-making at public companies.
The Conflicted Role of Proxy Advisors, released by the American Council for Capital Formation, explores proxy firms’ conflicts of interest and lack of transparency.
These firms advise institutional investors, such as pension funds and mutual funds, on how to vote shares of public company stock held by the funds. That grants the firms significant power over millions of workers’ retirement accounts.
Because of their substantial influence, the report identifies proxy advisors as “quasi-regulators with unchecked power” and makes the case for bringing them within the oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The report specifically quotes former SEC commissioner Daniel Gallagher, who called for the firms to be “subject to oversight and accountability commensurate with their role.”
Bringing proxy advisory firms under SEC regulation is a longstanding goal of the National Association of Manufacturers. In particular, manufacturers support the Corporate Governance Reform and Transparency Act (H.R. 4015), bipartisan legislation sponsored by Reps. Sean Duffy (R-WI) and Gregory Meeks (D-NY) that was recently approved by the House of Representatives. The bill would increase transparency around the firms’ standard-setting processes, allow public companies to respond to errors in voting recommendations, improve the quality of information available to investors and require the firms to disclose and mitigate conflicts of interest.
As the report makes clear, the proxy advisory firms need accountability, transparency, responsiveness and competition.

I've seen this said before and I've posted about it myself, but it's never been more true for me than now! I've made my livelihood primarily on Etsy since 2011, that's when I literally "quit my day job" and made jewelry for a living. Since October of last year my exposure and income on Etsy has been slashed by more than half due to multitudes of changes and experiments implemented behind the scenes and completely out of my control! Out of necessity comes great change, so here I am reinventing myself once again and hoping to make a go of it independently! I'm not looking for pity, I'm simply asking just that we all seriously consider getting back to a culture of pride and handcrafted goods and away from mass produced health affecting junk used/worn for a short time and tossed in the trash!
Comments will be approved before showing up.
I'm back in the full swing of things here in my jewelry studio and I've got a lot on my plate! I'll be dropping my very first collection, albeit a small one, on Oct. 1st, as well as two in-person shopping events, Olala Siesta Key Pop-up Nov. 17th and Atomic Holiday Bazaar Nov. 25th, so the studio is rocking'! I've just joined TikTok as well.
If you are unsure of your ring size I offer inexpensive reusable sizing bands. You can also visit a reputable local jewelry store and ask to be sized.

The idea behind back in the water as a theme (Brockley Max festival, Writers of Our Age) was getting back to normal life. We still haven’t really, and we didn’t stick to that brief, but water definitely came into it! Two stories from me, Lift Off, which will be featured in FlashFlood 2021 on 26th June, and Greenlanders, which was read at Liars’ League a while back.
I’m joining my WooA mates to read at Brockley Max on 3rd June at 7.30.
Our theme is Back in the Water, a sort of post lockdown dipping of toes into the sea type of idea. We may not be taking either of these ideas literally.
We are staying on line because although WooA (Writers of OUR Age) originated in Brockley, some longstanding members have moved away and it is impractical to get us together in real life.
We think there will be five writers, with five stories, of betweeen 1000 and 1500 words each, but like our theme our plans are fluid.
Come and join us, the water’s lovely!
Tickets are free, and available from Eventbrite. Please book to receive the zoom link.
Hosted by Arachne Press.
It’s that time of year when the festivals come thick and fast.
Over the next couple of months I will be taking part in a number of SE London events, so I thought I’d just mention them, in case you felt like coming along.
Join us for
Strange stories including (probably) spells potions and drinking. Bring your own (story!) to read, and join in the writing relay.
I am judging the children’s poetry competition! Winners will be announced on 16th June.
On 20th June I will be presenting authors from Arachne Press’ Dusk anthology, reading their contributions – stories and poems inspired by the in-between of no sun but not dark – yet.

There’s been a lot of chat going on recently about short stories, including on the radio, this week’s Open Book had Aminatta Forna giving a potted history of the short story from Poe, Chekhov and Saki to Helen Simpson, and even Ramblings (a walking programme … fascinating, listen!) had Claire Balding in company with short story writer Anna Maria Murphy. (nothing like being stuck at home recovering, for catching up with the radio in between sleeping.)
Having written two collections of short stories myself (and with enough material for 2 more!) and planning to publish (I hope) at least 6 anthologies over the next year or two, you’ll have gathered I’m quite keen!
I had an email yesterday in response to my posting about London Lies, in which the writer says
I was sure that it was near impossible to get short story collections published unless you are a well-known author
and asking how I managed it.
My very first short story was published in an anthology over 20 years ago. It was called Penelope Is No Longer Waiting, and I had sent it to Rosemary Manning, who was a friend, to cheer her up when she was unwell. I got a phone call a couple of days later, saying
you could publish this
and then I saw a call for submissions from Onlywomen Press, and sent it off, and was accepted. That easy. I can still remember opening that letter, so thrilling.
I had two more stories in a further anthology at OWP, and then having got quite friendly with Lilian Mohin, the director at OWP, she was complaining about the quality of a lot of the submissions she received, and how she wished everyone wrote as well as me (or words to that effect). My response was
plenty more where that came from
and I started drip-feeding her stories, one a month, under the heading of ‘entertaining Ms Mohin’, until she gave in and offered to publish a collection. That was Mosaic of Air.
Mosaic didn’t sell very well, partly because I was in a wallflower phase and wouldn’t do any publicity, (I am so over that, as you may have noticed) and ended up with the remaining stock being pulped. Not a happy moment!
Life rather caught up with me then and I wrote almost nothing for 11 years, then pulled myself together and published another collection, Tales Told Before Cockcrow. This did much better than Mosaic, and has almost sold out.
But what is it about the short story?
I’ll admit that some of my ‘short’ work is very long, almost novella length (now that’s really difficult to publish) but there’s something about a short story that’s like a jewel: carefully faceted and burnished to perfection, not a word wasted nor out of place.
Novels often have slow passages or subplots that don’t quite come off, but you are in it for the long haul so you put up with it, whereas you can’t afford to drift in a short story; and you can take risks and play games with language and structure, and the reader is prepared to come along because they know it’s not going to take you long to reach the punchline.
Since joining a writing group (WOOA) I’ve discovered that with a defined set of limitations I can write a fully formed story with a beginning middle and end in 20 minutes flat. Short Short stories… not quite flash fiction, because if it’s working, I write fast.
A really good short story settles into your mind with a sigh of satisfaction, like a good malt, or a perfectly toasted and buttered crumpet.

“A wonderful tale about love and redemption set in a Mexican Circus. Joan Taylor-Rowan writes with great freshness and assurance, and her descriptions of the ‘cirqueros’ and circus life are pitch perfect. I LOVED this book; and it deserves every possible success.” – (Katie Hickman, award-winning travel journalist and best-selling author of A Trip to the Light Fantastic – Travels with a Mexican Circus, The Pindar Diamond, The Aviary Gate.)
I read the Birdskin Shoes in draft and was thrilled by the scope and drama of it. Joan has a vivid imagination and in this tale of high-wire acts, back streets and earthquakes she makes full use of her time spent living in Mexico; summoning up the sounds and smells of an intoxicating but sometimes violent environment.
I’m looking forward to reading the published version, but either I’m going to have to buy a Kindle or Joan is going to have to provide a paper version. If you are ahead of me in the digital world, I highly recommend you buy a copy.

It feels really weird not being in Onegin-land for a day. I actually go to work, and talk about something other than music, very strange!
And despite not getting to bed until 1am and being awake again at 5, I decide I do have the energy for writing group.
I have a completed story about Cretan bull dancers that I want to try out on them, and although it is too long to read the whole piece, I read about half, and an animated discussion follows about young narrators, contrasts and heat, which is extremely useful.
B reads the first page or so of his new novel which is very entertaining, and we talk a little about sequels (which this is) and exposition of the crucial plot detail from the previous book, for those who have not read it, and how difficult it is to get right. I don’t think we reach a conclusion.
A reads a chapter from her ongoing work, a riveting novel of self deception and angst which is both gripping and laugh out loud funny. She says how much we helped by suggesting she decide who exactly a musterious character was, and how it freed her up to get on with the plot.
We talk about our awareness of the group as potential audience when we are writing, and I admit to enjoying writing things I think they won’t like.
R is deep into a massive re-write of her adolescent novel (67%) and feeling a little worn by the process.
We discuss the fact the A is now retired, B redundant, and D redundant from tomorrow, and how all this time to write is suddenly available. I try very hard not to look expectant in an ‘ I expect at least a chapter by next time’ way. I think that makes it that under half of our group are still in full time work now. Are we a typical demographic?
J hasn’t made it to the group tonight because she is manically churning ingredients for her pop-up icecream parlour at Broca Foods on Saturday. We decide that our writing exercise will have an icecream theme in her honour, but make it difficult for ourselves by imposing a 100 word limit, and we produce, memoirs, love stories, and humour.
R texts J to let her know, and she stops churning long enough to respond that she is delighted. We talk about emailing them to her to print off and use as wrappers, but I don’t know that she has the time for that!

Dark & Stormy
A Halloween piece … Winter, spicy gingerbread, slavery and marriage to an insanely jealous man … another exercise from WOOA, sparked off by not having got around to submitting anything on the Dark & Stormy theme to Liars’ League, and for once I didn’t come up with a story.
I keep dark Muscavado sugar in a supposedly airtight jar. I bought that jar in the mid seventies from the Reject Shop in Tottenham Court Road. The jar is square and has a Victorian engraving of ladies in a teashop on one side, which is what attracted me to it, in a very seventies-Laura-Ashley sort of way, but practical- air-tight unbreakable. On the other side of the jar the picture is of child slaves cutting sugar cane.
I often think about throwing that jar away, I’m not comfortable with that image, and I’m not comfortable with my fourteen-year-old self who bought it. It isn’t that airtight either; when the weather is humid the sugar melds itself into a brick. But it stays on the shelf with equally disturbing coffee and tea caddies and every time I reach it down I am reminded of the true price of sugar.
Every time I make this kind of cake – not often these days, but still, when I do – I think of Demerara and Barbados and plantations, especially if the recipe requires rum.
And while I am trying to hack the gritty dark brown brick into manageable weighable pieces, for some reason I think of pale slender ships scudding across dark green waters, threatened by storm clouds the size of continents. Breaking the sugar-brick requires a heavy knife (though not as heavy as the machete the child-slave wields), a clean cloth, and a rolling pin. The knife is laid edge-to-sugar the cloth goes over, to prevent flying shards ricocheting about the kitchen, and the rolling pin is used to hit the back of the blade.
It makes me think:
Breaking rocks in the hot sun (and sometimes I sing it)
Oscar Wilde in Reading jail
a story from One Thousand and One Nights… in which a jealous sultan believes (wrongly) that his wife is unfaithful, and plans to murder her in her bed. She gets wind of his intentions and when he comes to cut off her head in the night, raising his scimitar and bringing it down on what he believes to be her neck, there is a crack and his mouth is suddenly filled with sweetness. He falls to his knees sobbing in repentance, and she steps from behind a curtain and reveals that the headless body in the bed is a sugar effigy.
I am usually melting sugar and butter and rum and ginger together at this point, and as I stir this thick warm liquid, that looks like tar and smells like Christmas and late summer in the same breath, I think about that woman, watching her husband trying to kill her.
How can she forgive him, how can she trust him? How can he bear to even look at her when she reveals the truth? I wonder if they ate the rest of that sugar wife.
I only make this cake between late September and Twelfth Night. It is a cake for Halloween and inky afternoons where the sky turns from cobalt through Prussian blue and only the blackbirds sing; a cake for eating with the lights on, and the fire lit; and whether the curtains are drawn or not, for rain against the window.
Cakes like this, they take time and thought.
They weigh heavy: occasionally on the stomach, but mostly in the mind. Dark and stormy: the smells of nutmeg and cardamom, cinnamon and mace, cloves and ginger, raise ghosts; but the first bite of still warm crumbling richness is the taste of distance and long journeys, of security, and of home.

The University of Bath has announced its latest international research project, Healthy Housing for the Displaced, could dramatically improve the conditions in refugee camps based in parts of the world experiencing temperature extremes.
“The extreme climates experienced by those living in refugee camps inspired me to propose this project”
Partnering with Princess Sumaya University for Technology (Jordan), German Jordanian University (Jordan) and Mersin University (Turkey), the 3-year research programme will see to the design of low-cost and easy to construct housing based on the outcomes of what will be the largest ever global study investigating thermal, air quality and social conditions in camps housing displaced people.
You can find out more about this research project from Lead Investigator and Professor of Low Carbon Design at the University of Bath, David Coley, in the video below:
David says: “In recognition of the immense variability in climatic, environmental and sociocultural conditions, we aim to develop a variety of shelter designs suited to specific locales and the needs of those people who have been displaced.
“I visited Jordan in 2015 year during a rock climbing trip and fell in love with the country and the people. The extreme climates experienced by those living in refugee camps inspired me to propose this project which will truly push the boundaries of my research into low-energy building design.”
Given the increasing impact war-torn parts of the world such as Syria are having on the numbers of displaced people worldwide, temporary housing solutions are becoming more and more permanent, with many existing for years or even decades. Often housing is sub-par for long term use, causing both mental and physical health problems for its inhabitants and thus increasing demands on humanitarian aid.
“Decent housing can make an immense difference”
As well as researching these complex issues, the funding for this project – from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council – will enable the design of 20 possible shelters looking to solve issues surrounding social well-being, health and thermal comfort.
6 of these designs will then be constructed in the UK to test construction times and thermally tested in a climate chamber at the University’s Building Research Park in Swindon. The most promising of these designs will then be transported to Jordan to test in local conditions and obtain the feedback of camp occupants and aid agencies.

Co-investigator and Senior Lecturer in the Anthropology of Development at the University of Bath, Dr Jason Hart, comments: “Over the last 20 years I have worked as an anthropologist with refugees in Jordan and the wider Middle East.
“I have witnessed firsthand the daily struggles of displaced people to lead dignified lives in difficult conditions, and decent housing can make an immense difference.
“I am therefore excited to collaborate with colleagues from the fields of architecture and civil engineering in a process of shelter design that meaningfully engages the views and aspirations of refugees themselves.”

An Overview Of Cozumel Hurricanes
By Dennis Anderson
At Hotel Villa Deja Blue, we help budget-conscious travelers enjoy Cozumel activities in a relaxing atmosphere using insider information learned from living on beautiful Cozumel.
Hey there, folks! Let’s dive into a topic as unpredictable as a game show finale – the frequency of hurricanes in Cozumel. Now, I’m no meteorologist, but after chatting with the locals and doing a bit of digging, here’s the lowdown on Cozumel’s tango with these tropical tempests.
First off, Cozumel is like that lucky neighbor who always seems to dodge the bullet. Nestled just outside the main hurricane belt, it’s got a bit of a natural shield. But don’t let that fool you – Mother Nature has a way of keeping things interesting.
Now, if you’re planning a trip and wondering about the best time to avoid playing tag with a hurricane, aim for March to May. It’s like Cozumel rolls out the red carpet during these months – warm, but not too hot, and the humidity? It’s there, but it’s not in your face about it.
But here’s where it gets a bit dicey. June to November? That’s hurricane season. Picture this: you’re sitting on the beach, sipping something cold, and bam! The sky turns moody. But here’s the kicker – actual hurricanes hitting Cozumel are as rare as finding a polite conversation on social media. Sure, there’s rain, maybe some gusty winds, but the full hurricane experience? Not so much.
Now, for those of you who like to roll the dice, September and October are the wild cards. It’s the peak of the rainy season, and the hurricane odds tick up a notch. But even then, Cozumel’s like the cool cat that doesn’t get ruffled easily. You might get some heavy showers, but they’re usually just passing through, like tourists on a day trip.
And let’s not forget December through February – the golden months. It’s dry season, and the weather’s about as perfect as it gets. Think sunny days, balmy nights, and a vibe so relaxed it’s practically horizontal.
So, how often does Cozumel get hurricanes? Not as often as you’d think. It’s more about the occasional bluster than the full-blown fury. But hey, that’s part of the adventure, right?
How Often Does Cozumel Get Hurricanes?
- Cozumel’s Hurricane Frequency: More of a rare guest than a regular visitor.
- Best Time to Visit: March to May for that sweet spot of weather.
- Hurricane Season: June to November, but with more bark than bite.
- Rainy Season Peak: September and October, keep an eye on the sky.
- Dry Season Bliss: December to February, when the weather is just right.
- The Cozumel Charm: A mix of unpredictability and perfect beach days.
Alright, let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into the heart of hurricane season in Cozumel, which runs from June through November. Now, I’m not saying you should start building an ark, but it’s good to know what you’re up against, right?
June kicks off with a bit of a tease. The sun’s shining, the beaches are inviting, but there’s this little voice in the back of your head reminding you it’s hurricane season. But here’s the thing – Cozumel is like that guy at the party who’s always just on the edge of the action. Hurricanes? They’re more like distant thunder – you hear it, but it doesn’t quite crash the party.
July and August, they’re the wild cousins in the family. The humidity cranks up to sauna levels, and you start thinking maybe a hurricane wouldn’t be so bad for a bit of relief. But again, Cozumel plays it cool. Sure, there’s a chance of hurricanes, but it’s more about the suspense than the actual event.
Now, September and October, they’re the main event. This is when Mother Nature starts throwing her weight around. The rain comes down like it’s got a point to prove, and the wind gets all gusty and dramatic. But even then, Cozumel’s hurricanes are like those blockbuster movies – lots of hype, but the real action is elsewhere.
By the time November rolls around, things start to mellow out. The rain eases up, the sun takes back the spotlight, and Cozumel breathes a sigh of relief. It’s like the island’s been holding its breath and finally gets to exhale.
So, does Cozumel get hurricanes from June to November? Sure, it’s in the script, but Cozumel’s more about the near-misses than the direct hits. It’s like playing dodgeball with Mother Nature – you might get a few close calls, but mostly, you’re just enjoying the game.
Does Cozumel Get Hurricanes In June Through November?
- June to November: Official hurricane season, but Cozumel often sidesteps the main action.
- June’s Tease: Sunny days with a hint of hurricane drama in the background.
- July and August’s Sauna: High humidity with a side of suspense, but rarely a direct hit.
- September and October’s Drama: Peak of the season with rain and wind, but hurricanes often pass by.
- November’s Relief: The season winds down, bringing calmer weather and collective sighs of relief.
- Cozumel’s Hurricane Dodgeball: More about dodging the storms than facing them head-on.
Hey there, let’s chat about Cozumel in the winter months – December through February. Now, if you’re picturing snowflakes and ice sculptures, think again. This is the Caribbean, my friends, where winter means something entirely different.
First off, let’s bust a myth: hurricanes in winter in Cozumel? As likely as finding a penguin in the Sahara. This period is what the locals call the ‘dry season,’ and it’s not just because the bartenders are stingy with their pours. It’s dry because the rainclouds are on vacation, and the hurricanes? They’re hibernating.
December rolls in with a holiday vibe, minus the holiday chaos. It’s like Mother Nature’s gift to Cozumel – warm days, cool nights, and skies so clear you’d swear they were polished. It’s the kind of weather that makes you want to write postcards just to brag about it.
January keeps the party going. It’s the heart of the dry season, and Cozumel is all about sunny days and starry nights. The island is like that friend who’s always in a good mood – you can’t help but feel the same. And the best part? The tourist crowds are thinner, so you’ve got more paradise to yourself.
By the time February shows up, you’re in a full-blown love affair with the weather. Sure, it’s a bit warmer, but it’s that perfect kind of warm – like a hug from an old friend. And hurricanes? They’re just a distant summer memory.
So, does Cozumel get hurricanes in December through February? Not a chance. This is the time of year when Cozumel struts its stuff, showing off weather that’s about as close to perfect as you can get. It’s the island’s way of reminding us that sometimes, winter can be a beach.
Does Cozumel Get Hurricanes In December Through February?
- Winter in Cozumel: A myth-busting season with no hurricanes in sight.
- December’s Gift: Clear skies, warm days, and cool nights – a holiday minus the chaos.
- January’s Joy: The peak of dry season with sunny days, starry nights, and fewer tourists.
- February’s Flirtation: Warm and welcoming weather, making you fall in love with the island.
- Hurricane-Free Haven: A period when hurricanes are just a distant memory, showcasing Cozumel’s best weather.
Alright, let’s talk about Cozumel in the spring – March through May. Now, if you’re expecting tales of torrential downpours and hurricanes, you might be a bit disappointed. This time of year in Cozumel is more about sun hats than storm shelters.
March rolls in with a kind of quiet confidence. It’s not quite the peak season yet, so the island has this laid-back vibe, like a jazz musician tuning up before the big gig. The weather? It’s like the perfect guest at a garden party – warm, pleasant, and never overstaying its welcome. Sure, there might be a sprinkle or two, but it’s more of a light jazz riff than a full-blown drum solo.
April, oh April. It’s when Cozumel starts to show off a bit. The temperatures are like a gentle nudge, reminding you why you left your winter coat behind. The sun is in its element, and the beaches start to hum with activity. But hurricanes? They’re still off on spring break somewhere else. April in Cozumel is about as peaceful as a hammock in the shade.
Then comes May, strutting in with all the promise of early summer. The days get a bit warmer, but it’s that ‘just-right’ kind of warm. You know, where you can lounge on the beach without feeling like you’re in a sauna. Rain showers? They’re rare guests, and even when they show up, they don’t stick around long enough to ruin the party.
So, does Cozumel get hurricanes in March through May? Not really. This time of year is more about soaking up the sun than battening down the hatches. It’s the island’s way of easing you into summer, with just enough warmth to make you forget about winter.
Does Cozumel Get Hurricanes In March Through May?
- March’s Mellow Mood: A relaxed start to spring with warm, pleasant weather and occasional light showers.
- April’s Gentle Nudge: Perfect beach weather, sunny and warm, with a low-key vibe.
- May’s Early Summer Promise: Warmer days, but comfortably so, with rare and brief rain showers.
- Hurricane-Free Haven: A period largely devoid of hurricanes, focusing more on sunbathing than storm chasing.
Welcome to Cozumel’s summer saga – June through August. Now, if you’re expecting a serene tropical paradise, hold onto your hats, because this is when Cozumel turns up the heat, literally and meteorologically.
June steps in with a sizzle. The island starts to warm up, and not just temperature-wise. The beaches buzz with life, the ocean calls for swimmers, and the sun? It’s like a relentless performer on the world’s most beautiful stage. But with all this summer glory comes a little drama – the start of hurricane season. Yet, in Cozumel, it’s more about the anticipation than the actual event. Think of it as nature’s own suspense thriller.
Then there’s July, the heart of summer. It’s hot, folks, and I mean sauna-hot. The humidity can make the air feel as thick as a milkshake, but that’s just part of the island’s summer charm. Hurricanes? They’re like those distant relatives who say they might visit but rarely show up. Sure, there’s a chance, but it’s slim, and life on the island goes on – sunbathing, snorkeling, and sipping cold drinks.
August rolls in with the same tropical fervor. The days are long, the nights are warm, and the possibility of hurricanes looms in the background. But here’s the thing – Cozumel is a seasoned pro at dealing with Mother Nature’s mood swings. The islanders keep an eye on the sky, but they don’t let it dampen their spirits. It’s like living in a suspense novel where the plot twist is a sunny day.
So, does Cozumel get hurricanes from June to August? It’s possible, but not probable. This time of year is more about embracing the heat, enjoying the vibrant island life, and occasionally glancing at the weather report, just in case.
Does Cozumel Get Hurricanes In June Through August?
- June’s Warm Welcome: The start of summer with sunny days, lively beaches, and the beginning of hurricane season.
- July’s Sauna Heat: Peak of summer with high humidity and temperatures, and a low chance of hurricanes.
- August’s Tropical Fervor: Continuation of the hot, humid weather with a backdrop of potential hurricane drama.
- Hurricane Season Suspense: A period marked by the possibility of hurricanes, but more often characterized by typical summer activities and weather.
Well, folks, we’ve journeyed through the seasons in Cozumel, and what a ride it’s been! From the gentle breezes of spring to the suspenseful summers, each season on this island is like a chapter in a nature’s novel, each with its own flavor and surprises.
Let’s start with spring – March through May. It’s like the island is waking up from its winter slumber, stretching out under the warm sun with just a hint of rain. It’s the perfect time for those who like their beach days sunny but not scorching, and their nights comfortably cool. Hurricanes? They’re just a distant thought, barely a blip on the radar.
Then comes the summer, June through August, when Cozumel really turns up the heat. The days are long, the sun is strong, and the beaches are buzzing. Sure, it’s hurricane season, but in Cozumel, that’s more of a background story. The main plot is about enjoying the vibrant island life, with a side of keeping an eye on the weather forecast.
As we roll into autumn, September and October, things get a bit dramatic. This is peak hurricane season, but even then, Cozumel tends to dodge the direct hits. The island gets its fair share of rain, but it’s like nature’s way of keeping things interesting. It’s the season for the brave and the bargain hunters, with the island offering its own kind of stormy beauty.
And finally, winter – December through February. This is when Cozumel puts on its best weather show. The skies clear up, the temperatures are just right, and the hurricane talk is packed away with the summer gear. It’s the island’s way of reminding us that even in winter, paradise is just a plane ride away.

I'm a 16-year old girl from Slagelse, Denmark. I'm a web developer/designer-student, so bear with me if some of my posts are pretty nerdy. Besides from that, I love photographing, drawing, designing, editing and other creative activities. I'm in a relationship with Alexander, we've been together since July 23rd 2010. Please bear with me if my English isn't perfect, it's not my mother's tongue.
I closed my blog on my domain, whataday.org due to lots of spam - when I finally found an anti-spam system, it fucked the whole site up - so I decided to start a tumblr blog! I really love tumblr, the only thing that makes me annoyed is that I can’t make my domain point to my tumblr blog - I simply don’t know how. Anyways, I’m back with a blog, finally in English.
Right now I’m pretty bored at school, I finished my project days before we had to be done, so my teacher gave me an additional task to code a website, which I finished short after it was given to me. Then he wanted me to re-code the whole thing to set it up with a database and make a working contact form in PHP. After I finished that, he wanted me to code a page where I could see all the mails sent through the contact form. Now that I’m done with that, my teacher doesn’t have any other tasks so I’m just sitting here, bored. I’m really gonna hate this until we start on something more challanging that takes more than a week to code.
