To complete the revamping of Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and to place it once again with the top destinations in Las Vegas, Delano Las Vegas has begun taking reservations for their opening in September of this year. Delano brings its South Beach brand to Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay with 1,100 suites in the boutique hotel.
The non-smoking, all-suite boutique hotel Delano Las Vegas will boast one of the highest standard room square footages of any hotel in Las Vegas at 725 square feet. Each one-bedroom suite will feature a private bedroom with contemporary light-wood armoire, bold lighting fixtures and a spacious spa-style bath. The adjoining living room that offers a 46” flat-screen TV, wet bar, desk and its own powder room is perfect to relax and have guests over. The living room makes for a great place to hangout before you make your way to the Las Vegas strip for a night out.
Delano Las Vegas pays homage to the local surrounding with artwork throughout the guestroom corridors that will depict classic desert roadside scenes, while deep blue and gray tones will create a soft and mysterious aura. In contrast, the bright and airy atmosphere of the suites will make for a memorable entrance.
Featuring a clean color palette of whites and neutrals, the suites will incorporate Delano's iconic window sheers, crisp white linens and oversized tufted headboards, updated with playful gold accents. Anchored by a gray geometric print carpet, each room will showcase an array of rich textures and fabrics. Drawing inspiration from South Beach, photography of seductive underwater scenes will adorn the walls while floor-to-ceiling windows will provide sweeping views of the Las Vegas skyline.
As guests approach Delano Las Vegas they will be greeted by what will likely become a signature element of the hotel, an extraordinary divided boulder from the Nevada desert. Guests will continue to be engulfed into the Delano landscape as they make their way down the striking walkway featuring colors and textures inspired by the layered landscape of the Mojave Desert. Blending eclectic details to create an atmosphere that is playful and filled with energy, the stylish public spaces will be highlighted by a sleek new lobby featuring three distinct social spaces – a unique coffee bar, sophisticated lounge and café concept.
“Delano guests will be wowed by the introduction of this very special destination,” said Matthew Chilton, general manager of Delano Las Vegas. “Dynamic public spaces will serve as social hubs where guests will want to linger and socialize while the clean design of the suites will create a quiet escape.”
3940 Coffee + Tea, located just off the main lobby, makes for the perfect meeting and mingling spot for guests. The bar will serve gourmet coffee and tea from Grand Avenue Specialty Coffee, a company dedicated to providing a superior coffee and artisanal tea experience. Fresh squeezed juices and breakfast pastries such as warm scones, savory and sweet crepes, and cronuts with house-made jams will be served throughout the morning. Each afternoon, a tea cart will offer the finest selection of loose-leaf tea served alongside traditional accompaniments like petite pastries and finger sandwiches.
In the evening, guests at 3940 will enjoy craft cocktails, wine and beer complemented by signature small plates featuring organic, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients. The space will feature mid-century modern furniture, plush sofas, communal seating and an inviting marble fireplace. Inspired by the shaded area of a sun-drenched desert, the ceiling will boast a unique lighting feature that illuminates the space with a patterned glow.
Located just steps from the Delano lobby, a new culinary destination will blend natural design elements with industrial materials to exude a warm, comfortable simplicity that quietly entices guests to savor each bite and treasure every encounter. Creating an essence of “historic farmhouse meets urban kitchen,” this new outpost, whose name will be shared in the coming months, will serve breakfast and lunch with an elegant combination of classics, comfort food and seasonal specialties centered around fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
An eclectic lounge with a sophisticated vibe, Franklin will feature nightly entertainment including special live performances and sounds from up-and-coming DJs in an intimate environment perfect for socializing. Craft cocktails will complement small plates such as flatbreads, hand-selected cheese and charcuterie. The lounge will incorporate gold lighting accents, deep shades of blue and bronze hues with navy sheers that drape from the ceiling and sparkle with glistening lights to create the illusion of fireflies in the evening sky.
For a dining experience with a view, guests will be able take in the scenic Las Vegas Strip from the 64th floor of Delano Las Vegas while dining at Rivea. Rivea will serve French and Italian cuisine from internationally celebrated chef Alain Ducasse. Chef Ducasse is creating a menu inspired by the time he spent visiting the delectable food markets of Italy and Provence, Rivea will feature the flavors and colors of the Riviera in a smart, vibrant and casual setting. Rivea and adjacent lounge take over the space that is currently miX. The lounge offers stunning panoramic views of the city visible from intimate indoor nooks and an expansive outdoor patio. The new lounge is expected to open winter 2014-2015.
Mandalay Bay is well known for its amazing pool setting but in addition to that experience, Delano Las Vegas will feature its own private pool just steps from the sand and surf of Mandalay Bay Beach and wave pool. Embracing the laid-back South Beach lifestyle, Delano Beach Club will offer guests an exclusive locale to relax in the sun and is scheduled to open in 2015.
With the opening of Delano Las Vegas, BATHHOUSE Spa will introduce several signature services including the Double the Pleasure Massage, performed in synchronicity by two massage therapists. BATHHOUSE also will debut a new collection of Global Journeys that will guide guests through a series of exquisite treatments reflecting traditional rituals from regions around the world including India, Asia, Europe and a “Taste From the Islands.”
Delano Las Vegas is a partnership between MGM Resorts International and Morgans Hotel Group and will come to life in place of THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. Design teams from both companies collaborated to create the vision for all venues and suites. The teams were led by Joyen Vakil, senior vice president of design and development for MGM Resorts International and Verena Haller, senior vice president of design for Morgans Hotel Group.
The transformation of Delano Las Vegas began early in April this year. The debut of the boutique hotel will mark the culmination of Mandalay Bay’s property-wide evolution, which includes collaborations with brands such as Cirque du Soleil, The Light Group and Four Seasons in addition to Morgans Hotel Group.
Delano Las Vegas is now accepting room reservations for stays beginning September 1st at Delano Las Vegas or by calling 877-632-5400.

Sandy • Real Salt Lake and the L.A. Galaxy.
Small market vs. big market.
Grit vs. glitz.
Team Is the Star vs. David Beckham, Landon Donovan and all the SoCal glamour that goes with them.
It's a matchup that could have been concocted in Hollywood, a rivalry forged between teams that have become among the best in Major League Soccer by taking different paths to success. And those styles will clash head-on once again on Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Home Depot Center.
All that's at stake is the right to play for the MLS Cup.
"They spend four or five times as much as we do on salaries. They probably have a budget that's four or five times as much as ours when it comes to finding players and scouting and travel and on and on and on," said RSL coach Jason Kreis, who called the game a battle of philosophies.
To get to Sunday's Western Conference Final, Los Angeles defeated the New York Red Bulls the only MLS team to spend more on salaries than the Galaxy by a 3-1, two-game aggregate score.
Real outlasted the Seattle Sounders by a 3-2 aggregate total.
Certainly, small-market RSL has had little trouble forging a rivalry with the Galaxy and their cast of multimillion dollar stars, led by Beckham, the international soccer icon. The game's been on for both teams since RSL defeated Los Angeles in 2009 for the MLS Cup.
"It is one of those ways that people look to sum up the situation," RSL defender Robbie Russell said of the teams' apparent differences. "Of course, it is more complicated than that and of course there are other factors. [But] it's one of those summations that kind of hints at the truth a little bit.
"We have had good matches with them in the past. We've had success, and they are a very successful team. So it's one of those things people are interested in how it will play out," Russell added.
Despite the spending and glitz gap, RSL holds a 5-3-3 advantage over Los Angeles going back to 2007, including that thrilling 2009 championship game in Seattle that was decided on penalty kicks. This season, the teams split the series, with RSL winning 4-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium and the Galaxy with help from an own goal defeated RSL 2-1 in the Home Depot Center rematch.
"We don't need to alert our players [about RSL]," said L.A. coach Bruce Arena during a Friday conference call. "Everyone is aware."
Since 2007, RSL holds a 20-16 goal advantage over L.A. The two teams split series in 2007, 2010 and 2011. In 2008, both games finished in a tie. During the 2009 regular season, there was one tie and an RSL victory.
As for each team's success, Los Angeles will play for its third Western Conference title, while RSL has competed in a conference final three times in four seasons.
It's hard to overlook the comparative price tags.
When RSL general manager Garth Lagerwey mentioned that one-third of the team's salary was out with injuries or suspensions for a third of this season, he was asked to compare that with Beckham's salary.
"Enough to fit into one of his shoes," Lagerwey said.
Knowing that the MLS Cup would be played on its home field this season the championship game is set for Nov. 20 at the Carson, Calif., pitch Los Angeles went out and spent even more money, signing Irish international Robbie Keane, whose base salary is nearly $3 million annually.
Keane is one of the Galaxy's three designated players, including Beckham ($5.5 million) and Landon Donovan ($2.3 million).
Los Angeles traded its former third designated player, Juan Pablo Angel, to Chivas USA but is responsible for part of his salary.
By comparison, RSL's highest-paid player is Javier Morales at just more than $400,000.
"They have a lot of money on their team and stars," RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando said. "We're small market and they're big market, so I think it will be a great matchup."
And, Rimando added, "In the back of their minds, there will be that 2009 championship game."

Wimbledon Midterm Grades
After six days of play, here are our midterm grades from the 2008 version of Wimbledon:
Rafa-Roger III: So far, so good.
Venus-Serena III: So far, so good. (And they're cruising in the doubles draw.)
WTA depth: Six players outside the top 100 reached Round 3, including giant killers Jie Zheng and Alla Kudryavtseva, who beat Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova, respectively.
Marat Safin: Fires up one for the memory banks by beating Novak Djokovic; also impressive, he returns two days later and wins a tight four-setter.
Nicole Vaidisova: Apparently shaking off a mean slump, Czech reaches round of 16.
Bethanie Mattek: American veteran best known for her outrageous attire, comes to the one event where she's required to dress conservatively. And she has the best Slam result of her career. Coincidence?
Tamarine Tanasugarn: Wielding the Thai Stick, veteran reaches second week for the seventh time in her career.
ESPN: Generally solid first week, made all the better by the return of Brad Gilbert. But a host of readers complain that the "score graphic" on the top of the screen is confusing. Just playing middleman here.
Nathalie Dechy: Comes within a point -- a lousy net cord, in fact -- of upsetting top-seeded Ivanovic. But can't slam the metaphorical door.
The greenskeepers: On the one hand, the (allegedly) slower grass makes for a more democratic surface. On the other hand, let's not hope we're heading toward a uniform surface speed at all four majors.
Ernests Gulbis: Loses to Nadal but is there any doubt this guy is headed for the top 10?
Novak Djokovic: For a guy who's been heaping dirt on the Federer grave, the Djoker ought to be doubly embarrassed losing in Round 2. Remind us again: who's vulnerable?
Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova: In a titanic upset, the top seed and the 2004 champ fall in week one, with remarkably similar flat efforts against players outside the top 100.
American men: We expect early flameouts at the French. When the only male to reach Round 3 at Wimbledon is Bobby Reynolds, we got issues.
David Nalbandian: You're a former Wimbledon finalist. In the past year, you've beaten Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic. And you lose your first match in straight sets to Frank Dancevic?
Justin Gimelstob: Dozens of you referenced his unfortunate remarks. The full disclosure, of course, is that Justin has been writing for si.com, which makes this all the more awkward. The remarks themselves are thoroughly indefensible. But let me say this in his defense: he's always been a beacon of candor, one of those athletes who speaks honestly, regardless of whom he might offend or what collateral damage might arise. This doesn't, of course, give him license to say anything, but -- and I feel similarly about Charles Barkley -- it tempers at least some of the outrage when he crosses the line.

Are you looking for a unique and delightful dessert to indulge in? Look no further than snow ice cream! This frosty treat is the perfect way to embrace the winter season while satisfying your sweet tooth. Takeout Food is excited to share this delicious recipe with you, infusing our passion for culinary excellence, creativity, and enjoyment in every bite.
The Magic of Snow Ice Cream
Snow ice cream is a whimsical creation that turns freshly fallen snow into a creamy dessert. It’s a fun and easy way to make use of the snowy wonderland right outside your door. Imagine scooping up handfuls of fluffy snow and transforming them into a delectable frozen treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both nostalgic and delicious.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make snow ice cream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Freshly fallen snow
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, sprinkles, crushed cookies, etc.
Make sure to use the best-quality ingredients to enhance the flavors of this delightful treat. At Takeout Food, we believe that exceptional ingredients lead to exceptional dishes.
How to Make Snow Ice Cream
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making snow ice cream:
- Find a clean and untouched patch of freshly fallen snow. Avoid using snow that has been contaminated or has a yellowish tint.
- In a large mixing bowl, collect about 8 cups of snow. Adjust the quantity depending on the consistency you desire.
- Slowly pour in 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the mixture until the snow is coated in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
- Taste the mixture and add more sweetened condensed milk or vanilla extract if desired.
- Serve the snow ice cream immediately in bowls or cones.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, add your favorite toppings such as chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or crushed cookies.
With just a few simple steps, you can create a winter wonderland treat that will delight both kids and adults alike. The creamy texture of the sweetened condensed milk combines perfectly with the light and fluffy snow, creating a treat that is both refreshing and satisfying.
Can I make snow ice cream with flavored snow?
While the idea of flavored snow might sound tempting, it’s not recommended to use artificially colored or flavored snow. Stick to freshly fallen, pure white snow for the best results. Artificial additives may alter the taste and texture of your snow ice cream, compromising its overall quality.
Can I store leftover snow ice cream?
Snow ice cream is best enjoyed immediately after preparation. Since it’s made with real snow, it won’t hold up well in the freezer. As the snow melts, the texture will change, resulting in a less enjoyable dessert. Embrace the moment and savor the snow ice cream while it’s fresh!
Snow ice cream is a whimsical and delicious treat that allows you to embrace the winter season in a truly delightful way. With just a few simple ingredients and some freshly fallen snow, you can create a dessert that brings joy to all who taste it. Enjoy this unique creation from Takeout Food, and let your culinary creativity soar as you explore the world of snow ice cream!

A Home Away From Home
- There’s a reason a certain unassuming white house in LaFayette feels like home: It has been home for Barbara and Everett Wood for more than three decades now, along with their 141 children.
The Woods are parents of two, and foster parents to the other 139. They have four grandchildren, as well. You can be sure the walls of their cozy house have seen pretty much everything.
- The children who have lived with the Wood family over the years were more than passing faces. When possible, the couple keeps in touch with the foster children’s families or adoptive parents. Photos are everywhere, and Everett Wood delights in telling visitors all about what the youngsters—some now grown and starting their own families—are up to.
- Many of the Woods’ foster children have gone on to adoptive families, and some have kept in touch with the couple. Everett proudly shows off a recent photo of their first foster daughter, now 31 and attending law school. “It does your heart good to know that, maybe... in some small way... we were a positive influence on some of these kids,” Everett says. “They’re gems.”
- Every picture tells a story and Barbara, like any mother, is invested in each. On a recent morning, she reflected on some of her experiences. And she cried. There is no such thing as emotional distance for her.
- “I often tell people who are considering fostering, if you plan on getting over-attached, it will break your heart,” Everett says.Barbara Wood can trace the wealth of memories back to a spring day in 1977. She spoke with a neighbor whose mother was fostering. “I asked what it would take—learned all about it—and called the next day,” she recalls.
- Six weeks after that first call, they were foster parents. The couple’s own children, who still live in Central New York, were teenagers at the time, and couldn’t wait to expand their family. “It seemed very natural,” Everett says.
- Barbara still remembers the day their first foster child arrived. “The kids were just beside themselves with waiting. The hours dragged on that day. I told them to just do what you normally would do. They tried to go swimming, but I looked out and they’d be just standing in the pool, watching the road.”When the baby arrived, the children eagerly accepted their foster sister, forming the basis for a long-term relationship. Back then, Barbara explains, children were placed in foster homes for much longer periods than today. It wasn’t uncommon for children to spend several years with the Wood family before being placed with adoptive families or reunited with their own. Today, the foster care system in Onondaga County is committed to getting children in permanent homes as soon as possible. They may only be with a foster family for several days or several months. The state tries to get firm decisions on child placements within 18 months, Everett says.Training for foster parents is also far more extensive than when the Woods began. They still attend workshops to refresh their skills or learn new techniques.

- Everett believes the process today is much better for the children, as stability is achieved sooner. It may also be easier in the long run for those who open their homes, and hearts, to foster parenting.
- Looking back, Everett admits that it was particularly difficult for the Wood children not to get too attached to their foster siblings. “It was traumatic for them when (the first child) left us—particularly for our daughter,” he says.
- As time went on, the family learned to let go, and established clear boundaries for their foster assignments. For example, they only foster babies and preschool-aged children. “It’s harder with older children,” Barbara says. “They have school and it’s better not to disrupt them. Older children are also more aware that they are in a strange place, with strange people. Babies are pretty happy as long as they are fed and loved.
- ”The Woods, now in their 70s, currently foster three children. They have had as many as five at one time. “We started with a borrowed crib, then added another crib, and another,” she says. “At one point, we had five cribs set up.
- ”The couple often fosters special needs children. The county provides support, but the couple has seen problems that would test others half their age. One of the babies they currently care for has a tracheotomy tube and breathing problems.
- “We get training on how to deal with these problems, then you just do it,” Barbara says. “It gets to be second nature after a while.
- ”Indeed, the easygoing couple has mastered the art of “divide and conquer.” She handles much of the night feeding and health care; he enjoys reading to them and serves as resident photographer. Everett makes a point of taking a lot of photos of the children, and Barbara makes little albums and gives them to the parents and adoptive families.
- Many foster children have regular contact or visitation with one or more birth parents and family members. Some of the visits occur at the county’s Family Place facility, a house-like setting in Syracuse that offers a comfortable environment for family interaction. Others take place at the county offices in Syracuse. In all their years of fostering, the Woods have never had any problems with these visitations.
- “If the family relationship is able to be saved, that’s often in the child’s best interest,” Everett says. “We support that.”Fostering is definitely a team effort,” he adds. “The foster parents and family have to really be there for each other when things happen.
- ”The Woods revel in their good memories, but they are careful not to romanticize their lives. Not every placement was a joyful experience, and some ended much differently than they would have liked. Most of the time, when the children go back to their own homes, the Woods don’t hear anything—which is just fine with them.
- But sometimes Barbara thinks of a little one who, perhaps, was returned to his own parents too soon, or the boy who stayed in touch for years, then suddenly ceased contact.“The most difficult part (about foster parenting) is when the kids have to go back home and you know it’s not a good decision,” she says. “You worry about them even when years have gone by, even when it’s out of your hands.”
- “The sad stories, you try to forget,” Everett adds.Still, the couple says the rewards far outweigh the emotional struggle that can accompany any foster relationship. The key, Everett says, is balancing emotion with a practical approach. “You have to be a little hardhearted,” he says. “You must always remember that they are not your children. It all boils down to the word ‘foster’ and understanding what that means.
- ”It also doesn’t hurt to have help. “There are a lot of disappointments in this business. Without a strong, loving support system, no one would last very long,” Everett says. “Barb and I have had super support from our church family.”
- And so, as foster families across the nation are acknowledged during Foster Parent Appreciation Month, Barbara and Everett’s journey continues. The Woods say that they will probably continue to foster for as long as they are physically able. Barbara laughs about the time she and her husband “retired.” “After about two months, I got bored,” she says.
- With eyes rolling Everett adds with a laugh, “Talk about empty nest syndrome! She just never wants to get a good night’s sleep!”

Maple Ridge mayor says provincial money spent on homelessness ineffective
Metro Vancouver task force report identifies a "crisis"-level of homelessness in the region
Metro Vancouver's homelessness task force is demanding the provincial government step up to deal with what it calls a "crisis" level of homelessness in the region.
The task force released its new action plan yesterday on the issue. It estimated at least 4,000 people experience homelessness in the region and there are 70 homeless camps throughout the region.
The task force made a number of recommendations for the provincial government including: reviewing the $375 shelter allowance, improving health services for people experiencing homelessness and creating 3,000 new transitional housing units over the next three years.
In response to the report, Housing Minister Rich Coleman said the province spent $375 million last year to provide affordable housing and rent supplements, and provided $138 million to provide emergency shelter and housing for the homeless.
Provincial money not being spent wisely: mayor
But Nicole Read, mayor of Maple Ridge and the task force's co-chair, said the money was appreciated but not being used effectively.
"Simply spending money is not enough to actually produce an outcome in a positive direction. There needs to be a plan," she said.
"Right now, there's no evidence-based decision making around homelessness in Metro Vancouver. It's the reason we continue to see money spent and we continue to move in the wrong direction."
- Not in my park! How B.C. mayors are handling homeless campers
- Metro Vancouver homeless count looking for volunteers
- Metro Vancouver homelessness needs regional approach, says mayor
Read argued there are few measures in place to prevent vulnerable people from becoming homelessness — particularly youth.
"How many reports does the representative for children and youth need to put out about the challenges of kids in care transitioning into adulthood? We need to get that upstream investment so we can start to prevent future generations of people from hitting the street."
Cities shoulder disproportionate burden
Read said municipalities are shouldering a heavy tax burden when it comes to dealing with this crisis.
"Cities are spending $200 million of local and regional taxpayer money. That money is being diverted from other resources that other local governments are supposed to provide," she said.
Read said she'd like to see all of the parties running in the next provincial election address the issue in their platforms.
"It's simply unacceptable for us to not produce a result for these people who are absolutely our most vulnerable citizens."
Need to create partnerships: province
In a statement, Housing Minister Rich Coleman said the report failed to recognize homelessness was only part of the equation, and pointed to the investments the province had by made to increasing the housing supply and facilitating home ownership for low- and middle-income British Columbians.
He called for more co-operation between the municipalities and the province.
"We need assistance from the Metro Vancouver mayors, who can expedite development approvals for supportive and rental housing. They can use their land-use tools and zoning to create higher densities and pre-zone land to expedite affordable rental housing," he said.
"We need their assistance, not just their recriminations."

By Raïssa Robles
Malacanang officials would do well to follow closely the ongoing case of Burundi before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for three reasons.
First, because the Burundi government had also withdrawn from the Rome Statute but that did not stop the investigation by the International Criminal Court.
The Rome Statute is the legal basis for the creation of the ICC.
The ICC is a special court created for the sole purpose of trying individuals who commit atrocious crimes such as mass murder using state forces. This is in contrast to the focus of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which holds governments that commit crimes against other nations to account.
Second, because the prosecutor in the Burundi case, Fatou Bensouda, is the same one looking into the case of Duterte and 11 others, namely:
1. Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano;
2. Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre;
3. Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chair Richard Gordon who also happens to chair the Philippine Chapter of the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross.
4. Speaker of the House Pantaleon Alvarez;
5. Philippine National Police Director General Ronald de la Rosa;
6. Solicitor General Jose Calida;
7. National Bureau of Investigation Director Dante Gierran;
8. Former Interior and Local Governments Secretary Ismael Sueno;
9. Police Superintendent Edilberto Leonardo;
10. Police Superintendent Royina Garma;
11. Senior Police Officer 4 Sanson “Sonny” Buenaventura
And third, one of the pre-trial judges in the Burundi case is our very own – Raul Pangalangan, former dean of the University of the Philippines College of Law and former publisher of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The case of Burundi may have set a precedent on the issue. (Besides, why would presidential spokesman Harry Roque, an expert on International Law, raise the possibility of lawyering for Duterte before the ICC.)
An article written by Kenyan human rights lawyer Darleen Seda for “D+C”, the Development and Cooperation magazine published by the German government, sheds light on the Burundi case.
Seda describes Burundi as an African nation with some 10 million residents (NOTE: two million less than the population of Manila). It had been experiencing “severe violence” since April 2015. “The crisis was triggered when President Pierre Nkurunziza announced that he would run for a third term in office in spite of constitutional term limits,” Seda said.
In May 2015, ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda announced she was conducting a “preliminary examination” on “the situation in Burundi”, where government and state forces were accused of killing over a thousand people following a state crackdown on dissent.
A year after Bensouda’s announcement, Burundi president Pierre Nkurunziza declared that Burundi was withdrawing from the Rome Statute. Therefore the ICC no longer had jurisdiction. His government would also not cooperate with any investigation.
End of story.
Or so Nkurunziza thought.
That did not stop the ICC.
Seda wrote in “D+C” early this year:
“The ICC, which is based in The Hague, disagrees however. It argues that it has jurisdiction over all crimes allegedly committed while Burundi was a member state to the Rome Statute. The ICC view is that, once a state has accepted its jurisdiction, it remains bound for as long as it continues to be a member. Essentially, this jurisdiction runs from the time a state ratifies the Rome Statute to at least one year after a withdrawal notification. The acceptance of such jurisdiction thus remains unaffected even when a state withdraws.”
Seda is right.
A look at the ICC website shows that the Burundi case has now moved to the second stage—from “Preliminary Examinations” to “Situations under Investigation”.
Recall that in May 2015, ICC Prosecutor Bensouda had announced she was conducting a “preliminary examination” of the situation in Burundi and the following year 2016, Burundi announced its withdrawal from the ICC.
On October 25, 2017 — two days before Burundi’s withdrawal took effect — three ICC judges authorized Bensouda “to open proprio motu investigation”. This is the second stage of any ICC investigation.
The ICC explained that while it could no longer investigate any crimes committed after Burundi’s withdrawal, it can investigate crimes that took place starting from December 1, 2004 when Burundi became a signatory member:
“The ICC may therefore exercise its jurisdiction over crimes listed in the Rome Statute committed on the territory of Burundi or by its nationals from 1 December 2004 to 26 October 2017.
In its decision authorising an investigation, the Chamber found a reasonable basis to believe that State agents and groups implementing State policies, together with members of the “Imbonerakure” launched a widespread and systematic attack against the Burundian civilian population.”
The ICC issued a press release in November 2017 further explaining why it did not stop the investigation [boldface is mine]:
Press Release : 9 November 2017 | Ikirundi, Kiswahili
ICC judges authorise opening of an investigation regarding Burundi situation
Today, 9 November 2017, Pre-Trial Chamber III of the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or “Court”), composed of Judges Chang-ho Chung (Presiding Judge), Antoine Kesia-Mbe Mindua and Raul C. Pangalangan, issued a public redacted version of its decision authorising the ICC Prosecutor to open an investigation regarding crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court allegedly committed in Burundi or by nationals of Burundi outside Burundi since 26 April 2015 until 26 October 2017. The Prosecutor is authorised to extend her investigation to crimes which were committed before 26 April 2015 or continue after 26 October 2017 if certain legal requirements are met.
The decision was first issued under seal on 25 October 2017. The Chamber accepted, exceptionally, after ordering the Prosecutor to provide additional information, to conduct the authorisation proceedings under seal and only with the participation of the Prosecutor, in order to attenuate risks to the life and well-being of victims and potential witnesses. The Prosecutor was in addition exceptionally granted a limited delay of 10 working days in notifying the initiation of the investigation to States normally exercising jurisdiction over the alleged crimes in order to prepare and implement protective measures for victims and potential witnesses to mitigate the potential risks.
The Pre-Trial Chamber found that the Court has jurisdiction over crimes allegedly committed while Burundi was a State party to the ICC Rome Statute. Burundi was a State Party from the moment the Rome Statute entered into effect for Burundi (1 December 2004) until the end of the one-year interval since the notification of Burundi’s withdrawal (26 October 2017). The withdrawal became effective on 27 October 2017. Accordingly, the Court retains jurisdiction over any crime within its jurisdiction up to and including 26 October 2017, regardless of Burundi’s withdrawal. As a consequence, the Court may exercise its jurisdiction even after the withdrawal became effective for Burundi as long as the investigation or prosecution relate to the crimes allegedly committed during the time Burundi was a State Party to the Rome Statute. Moreover, Burundi has a duty to cooperate with the Court for the purpose of this investigation since the investigation was authorised on 25 October 2017, prior to the date on which the withdrawal became effective for Burundi. This obligation to cooperate remains in effect for as long as the investigation lasts and encompasses any proceedings resulting from the investigation. Burundi accepted those obligations when ratifying the Rome Statute.
You can read the rest by clicking here.
Now, Bensouda is the same ICC Prosecutor who announced last month (February 8) that she was “opening Preliminary Examinations into the situations in the Philippines and in Venezuela.”
Just like what she did with Burundi.
“Following a careful, independent and impartial review of a number of communications and reports documenting alleged crimes potentially falling within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or “the Court”), I have decided to open a preliminary examination…”
The preliminary examination of the situation in the Philippines will analyse crimes allegedly committed in this State Party since at least 1 July 2016, in the context of the “war on drugs” campaign launched by the Government of the Philippines. Specifically, it has been alleged that since 1 July 2016, thousands of persons have been killed for reasons related to their alleged involvement in illegal drug use or dealing. While some of such killings have reportedly occurred in the context of clashes between or within gangs, it is alleged that many of the reported incidents involved extra-judicial killings in the course of police anti-drug operations.”
You can listen to her announcement below:
Duterte should have taken the advice of then Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay who, back in November 2016, recommended the Philippines withdraw from the ICC.
Yasay had given this advice after ICC Prosecutor Bensouda issued a statement in October 2016 – three months after Duterte assumed the presidency – that her office was closely watching any Philippine official “ordering, requesting, encouraging or contributing” to committing crimes against humanity.

The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan by the government of India brought a major change in the Indian economy. It changed the way how the entire world used to see towards India. Surely, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was successful, but it was not all instant. There was a small and continuous growth of the Indian states, cities, towns, and villages.
Navlewadi, a village of Maharashtra ran a lack of water resources for a long time. With the help of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the government set up pipelines of freshwater and installed many water tanks there. Now the people have no more problems with water.
Gujarat has been on the front in being clean under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. It could become possible because there are seven villages in Gujarat where people constructed household toilets and made their village open defecation free. Koraput village of Odisha falls under the backward villages. Even with the lack of facilities, the Koraput village decided to be open defecation free and proved it too.
There was a shocking incident from Darora village of Uttar Pradesh. Children here, under the age of 10, started cleaning their village and inspiring others to clean their surroundings. It is not less than a motivation for us. Like these few stories, there are uncountable stories around the map of India. These are reasons for making Swachh Bharat Abhiyan successful.


We had previously told how you can use WhatsApp on Desktop which basically involved clumsy means and sometimes rooting of your Android smartphone to make it work. But not anymore. WhatsApp is now officially available on web browser. To be clear, the web client is merely an extension of the mobile app and will let you mirror the conversations and messages from your mobile device – which means the data still lives on the phone.
Right now, the WhatsApp Web is live on https://web.whatsapp.com/ and you’ll need to open that in the Google Chrome browser, scan the QR code (from WhatsApp) that it displays with your phone and you are good to go! That pairs the phone and your web browser. Make sure you have upgraded to the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone before trying this.
This new web client will NOT work with iOS devices, which WhatsApp claims is due to Apple’s restrictions. So, go ahead and try it out if you are on Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone.
If you are on Android and can’t see “WhatsApp Web” under Menu, you can go to https://www.whatsapp.com/android/ and download latest version of apk. Basically you need to have the version 2.11.498 or newer for this to work. [Update: This looks like a server side thing which needs to be enabled for your account. Some people are reporting that they still don’t see the option to scan QR code even with the latest version. You just got to wait before they roll out to everyone]

Here are the opening passages from a Guardian article by Giles Fraser published on June 6th.
Michael Gove, the education secretary, is apparently at war with Theresa May, the home secretary, over religious extremism. Gove thinks that May deals only with its consequences – ie, violence – and not with its root cause. For Gove, the May approach is some endless and fruitless game of whack-a-mole, just dealing with the consequences of religious extremism and not its ideological origins. He wants to drain the swamp and tackle the celebration of extremism long before it issues in violence. His target is Birmingham schools. But why not the Royal Opera House?
Opera, like religion, is obsessed with violence, often against women. Poulenc’s Les Dialogues des Carmelites – currently on a short run and broadcast live from the Royal Opera House tonight on Radio 3 – tells the story of a group of nuns during the French Revolution. Their convent is overrun by revolutionaries and desecrated. And the nuns are forced to choose between martyrdom and faith. By the end, all 16 sisters have been guillotined, defiantly singing the Salve Regina on their way to having their heads removed. The whole thing is beautifully presented, with minimal staging and extraordinary musical sensitivity. And the fact that Simon Rattle is wielding the baton will guarantee to pack in the genteel, well-heeled audience.
Keep the self-sacrificing nuns clearly in mind when you read the continuation of Fraser’s tale:
But I wonder if they would have turned up to an opera about Islamic martyrdom? Or been so enthusiastic in their applause if 16 shahida had chosen a violent death over conformity to their new and unsympathetic political/social norm? I bet there would have been walkouts. And I very much doubt that Rolex would have been a sponsor.
Yet nobody complained that Christian martyrdom propaganda was being staged at one of our elite cultural institutions.
And, he then asks:
But isn’t this also a version of Gove’s religious extremism, too?
No, it is not!
The nuns in the story are willing to sacrifice their own lives rather than defy the principles of their religious faith, while the Islamic shahida (suicide bombers) chose to take their own lives during the course of murdering as many innocent men, women and children as possible – in the name of their religious faith.
While you may want to read the rest of his meditation on martyrdom – as it includes another gem of moral equivalence – we’d like to know if it’s even possible that such a profoundly obvious moral distinction (between nuns and suicide bombers) can really elude the reasoning of those Guardian readers who share Fraser’s ideological persuasion.
Sometimes it feels as if the Guardian’s sole purpose is to sow moral confusion, and make the sensible majority doubt their own political sobriety. Indeed, we can think of no other explanation for their consistent pattern of running interference for the most reprehensible ideologies in the world by blurring the line between victim and victimizer – thus undermining the West’s natural instinct to resist the onslaught of homicidal and decidedly reactionary extremists.

The Bob Dylan Story
"The Bob Dylan Story is the stunning and definitive live concert celebration of rock music’s greatest icon. With some of the most memorable songs ever written, Bob Dylan created the soundtrack for 1960s America, amassing a huge and enduring fanbase that even extended across the Atlantic to bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Now Bob and “The Band” transport you back to the Nobel prize winner’s glory days with a truly authentic and affectionate show, complete with stunningly evocative visuals and authoritative insights into the stories behind the songs."
Info provided by the Event Organiser
The Bob Dylan Story is the new stunning and definitive tribute to a songwriting genius who spoke for a whole generation.
Enhanced by a top backing band, the show lovingly and authentically recreates the many songs that made Dylan the living legend he is today, the way we all remember hearing them.
The heady idealism of Blowing In The Wind and The Times They Are A Changin; the electric venom of Subterranean Homesick Blues and Like A Rolling Stone; timeless love songs like Lay Lady Lay and I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight; the mysticism of All Along The Watchtower or Mr Tambourine Man; the lyrical tour de force of Hurricane to the catchy simplicity of Knocking On Heaven’s Door - these and many more memorable songs, along with some of the stories behind them, are captured to perfection.
Experience the thrill and energy of a Dylan concert planted firmly in the 1960s, a time when anything seemed possible, in a show that will remind you what REAL nostalgia feels like, and have you digging out your old vinyl to sustain the pleasure just that little bit longer.

There is no way that anyone can read this and not feel pain, and also the desire to de-nut John Edwards.
In the fall of 2007, after the National Enquirer published an article about the affair, Elizabeth Edwards, according to the testimony of Reynolds and Matthew Nelson, another staffer who was on the stand Wednesday, became enraged.
She pawed at her husband in a car ride to Raleigh-Durham airport while others were present, asking him if that’s what he and his mistress did in New York.
John Edwards, according to testimony, got out of the car before the couple got to the airport, got in a car that had been trailing them with other staffers and sent someone to take his seat by his wife.
At the airport, an emotional Elizabeth Edwards crumbled to the ground in the parking lot. Reynolds and Hargrove McElroy, a longtime friend, rushed to the distraught woman’s side, helped her up, got her into a restroom and tried to calm her down.
Elizabeth Edwards, Reynolds said, became “understandably upset” again. Elizabeth Edwards, who had been through extensive treatments for breast cancer, took off her bra, exposed her chest and stormed out in front of her husband and said: “You don’t see me any more,” Reynolds recalled.
The Edwards’ eldest child, Cate Edwards, a 30-year-old lawyer who has sat stoically through her father’s trial, became visibly upset during a break in Reynolds’ testimony.
Her father leaned over and mentioned to her during the break when the jury was out of the room that he did not know what was coming next.
Defense attorney Abbe Lowell had just objected to what prosecutor David Harbach was asking Reynolds. Judge Catherine Eagles sent the jury out of the courtroom for a brief break.
Cate Edwards said something inaudible to her father, then left the courtroom in tears as her father quietly called after her, “Cate, Cate.”

Current forward work program
The Reliability Panel’s work program is set by requirements in the National Electricity Rules (NER) and through terms of reference received from the AEMC. The Panel uses these to guide its strategic direction such that it may offer robust industry insights to its stakeholders.
The Panel has three main strategic goals for the future work program in 2021:
- to provide thought leadership on reliability and security in a changing power system,
- to help deliver co-ordinated energy reforms, and
- to enhance the Panel's stakeholder engagement.
Thought leadership on reliability and security
The Panel is looking to expand its ability to provide thought leadership through future standards, guidelines and settings for reliability and security. Thought leadership will simulate discussion and debate on options for a changing power system and complement the Panel’s engagement and co-ordination with other market bodies such as the ESB.
In respect of its 2021 work program, the Panel has identified opportunities to provide thought leadership:
- In the Reliability standard and settings review, for instance by considering the different options and approaches available to assessing reliability and defining a reliability standard suitable for a changing power system,
- When considering whether new standards for system security may be required to address challenges and needs that are emerging as the power system evolves, and
- By providing additional consideration to changing power system dynamics and system security needs through its Annual Market Performance Report (AMPR) (published December 2020).
A co-ordinated energy reform agenda
The Panel performs its decision making and advisory functions in the context of ongoing market reform programs involving the Energy Security Board (ESB), AEMC, and jurisdictional bodies.
Given the interactions between the reform programs being performed by these parties and the Panel's functions and powers, effective co-ordination is of high importance. As an example, the Panel's review of the reliability standard that will apply through to July 2028 will account for changes to market arrangements which are anticipated through the ESB's post-2025 market design project.
In its 2021 work program, the Panel will co-ordinate with:
- The ESB to determine a reliability standard and market settings that minimise transitional issues in moving to new market arrangements, and
- Jurisdictional governments in respect of state level reliability policies and targets.
The Panel recognises that engaging with stakeholders across industry is critical to perform its functions, provide thought leadership and co-ordinate with other reform processes. Comprehensive stakeholder engagement is necessary to understand a range of perspectives and effectively manage competing interests.
In its 2021 work program, the Panel has identified a number of goals to enhance its engagement with stakeholders across the sector:
- To provide clear and accessible communication that increases the Panel's presence and clearly articulates the role and benefits of its work,
- To increase opportunities to engage, listen, inform and, where appropriate, collaborate on policy making, and
- To deepen engagement around and beyond the work program, including proactively seeking to understand issues and priorities for all stakeholders in the sector.
The Panel will be embedding its strategic goals into its 2021 work program. This includes the following projects.
To be completed in 2021:
- Queensland sub-region system restart standard.
- AEMO protected event declaration application.
Beginning in 2021:
- The Reliability Standards and Settings Review (RSSR).
- The Frequency Operating Standard (FOS) Review.
- Review of the System Restart Standard.

26 Nipigon Avenue Condos is a new presale condominium by DiamondCorp in North York. This prominent building will be located at 26-34 Nipigon Ave in the Newtonbrook neighbourhood. This is near the intersection of Yonge St and Steeles Ave E., on the north side of Nipigon Ave, between Yonge Street and Dumont Street. Condo investors can choose from 569 studio, one, two, and three-bedroom residential suites spread across 50 storeys.
This condominium will be steps from the future Steeles Subway Station and present exciting opportunities for real estate investment.
Residents of 26 Nipigon Avenue Condos will enjoy entering a contemporary and spacious lobby in the condominium’s four-storey podium. Above this, investors can choose from the following suites:
- Studio condos – 3 units
- One-bedroom condos – 177 units
- One-bedroom + den condos – 189 units
- Two-bedroom condos – 143 units
- Three-bedroom condos – 57 units
We can expect leading indoor and outdoor amenities on the first, second, and fourth floors.
Indoor and outdoor amenities on the first floor will be located adjacent to the lobby. Going up, the second-level amenities will occupy the entire floor and will feature a very large indoor common space surrounded by an outdoor amenity terrace on two sides. This outdoor terrace will present the pinnacle of modern living with dining areas, group seating, and barbecue stations. Young families will love the lounge spaces and the accompanying children’s play area. Residents will also benefit from fire tables and a full pet amenity space.
Level 4 amenities will be located on the side of the building closest to Yonge Street. Here, we will find an indoor amenity space enveloped by a complimentary outdoor lounge area on the north and west sides of the tower.
Residents will also enjoy three levels of underground parking. This will provide unfettered access to 132 vehicle parking spaces and 388 bicycle parking spaces. Convenient storage lockers will also be available.
Location & Neighbourhood
Why invest in Nipigon Avenue? This area is transforming before our eyes and is set to be a future hotspot for growth.
26 Nipigon Avenue Condo project is located at Yonge and Steeles, at a unique junction of multiple municipalities. Here, the cities of Toronto, Vaughan, and Markham form a jurisdictional tri-point around Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue in a recognized “Protected Major Transit Station Area” as defined by the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Residents will be able to access employment and educational opportunities in a wide arc from this location, making this a very smart area for investing.
Growth is apparent on all sides. Several blocks of low-density, single-family housing are being redeveloped nearby with clusters of condos in addition to this one. This can be seen on Abitibi Avenue, where a 50-storey condo tower has been proposed, and there are also active development plans for condo towers along Yonge Street, on Steeles West, and at Centerpoint Mall. The result will be an exciting new urban focal point centred around the future Steeles Station subway stop, creating a bustling new hub.

Colombia’s head coach has dedicated his sides 3-0 win over Poland to Carlos Sanchez after the midfielder received death threats via social media.
The South American’s were in stunning form in the second half of their round 2 group game with Poland where they put the European side to the sword.
Goals from Barcelona’s Mina, Monaco’s Falcao and Juve’s Cuadrado ensured the South American’s survive to keep themselves in contention for a place in the last 16 with a final game with Senegal to come on Thursday.
After opening their tournament with a 2-1 loss to Japan, in part due to an early red card for Carlos Sanchez, Colombia needed a big performance to get back on track.
And after the game the coach, José Pékerman, confirmed the victory was for the midfielder, ‘He’s had a hard time. We want to share this win with him. The whole squad feels the same.’
Police are investigating threats made against Sanchez online and after the 1994 World Cup, where defender Andres Escobar was murdered following his own goal, costing Colombia their place in the cup, the manager has warned of the severity of making such remarks.
‘We received certain information, but I can’t confirm anything. The player was deeply affected, and I think we all understand football really is something else.
‘These things shouldn’t even be said lightly. Whether it’s confirmed or not, this is something that is extremely painful.’

By Raphael Awen
July 10, 2017
This question came to me last night as I was out walking the dog in the evening cool and quiet. I tune the question back in now and ask Metatron for some more around this question. He responds with a ‘we’ voice evidencing that he has already been where we are and feels where we are wanting to go, and that he is also going with us as we do….
‘It’s not a question of how much love can you find, but rather how much love can you let in? The setting of the love story that we ARE is set in a setting of an evident lack of love and a competition for that limited and scarce love, but the essence that we ARE is the fullness of love. The real challenge is not to find love, but rather to let in the superabundance of love that surrounds you.
‘We chose the setting of apparent lack to contrast with the love that we are in order to see the love that we are and in turn expand our being with this infinite love. In other words, we needed a finite setting in which to see and contrast the infinite love that we are.
‘We are the story being written to ourselves, for us to see and feel, and in turn be moved by. Though the story is made up of many characters, a big piece of the discovery in understanding the meaning of the story is coming to see that every single character is actually me and you. There is actually only one of us. We are already one, though we’re just awakening to that, and letting this reality sink in. The appearance of an apparent individuality, of there being a separate me and a separate you isn’t true in the way we’ve perceived it. We are one being having an experience of individuation as part of our awakening and learning to realize the deeper one that we are.
‘More for you can’t actually be less for me if we are already one.
‘Because this is the deeper reality, any love that you take into your being, any wounding that you feel and heal inside of yourself IS healing the all. The gift you give yourself can’t be distinguished from the gifts you give to others. Self-love is the same as love for the all.
‘Love is the source and sustenance of every material and non-material thing there is, even hatred and fear are given their lease by and through love. Love is all there is. Hearts and circumstances that lack love are only opportunities and places to let love into.
‘All that is required is your choice and willingness to be vulnerable to love…to admit that you want more love, to admit you have parts of you that can’t yet digest love and need your help. This is all there is to letting in love, though for most, this can still be incredibly difficult. This is why most would rather maintain and be committed to their lack of love picture, wherein they can continue to resist love for a while longer under the illusion that love is lacking.
‘Even this resistance though is also contained in love. We all needed our illusions for as long as we did as part of our awakening. Nothing can be outside of love. It’s all sacred and it’s all love. All that’s left is to let it in.
Thank you Metatron, Wow, okay, this leaves me in a deep heightened awareness and QUESTions of ‘how much am I in this moment resisting love or letting it in?’ and ‘What are my next places to gift myself (and the one being that we all are) more of the infinite love that I already am?’
I offer spaceholding sessions to others in their awakening to love process and you can read more about that here: soulfullheartwayoflife.com/sessions

Mediterranean Pasta with Basil and Artichokes
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t shoehorn another thing into my day. Or I could and then you’d never hear from me again. My days are just that long and full of crap to do. I’m sure you all know what I’m talking about. I’m also sure you’re familiar with the feeling of wanting to eat your own liver rather than make dinner. I know I am. By the time the end of the day rolls around for me, I’m wiped and cooking dinner feels like a challenge. It’s why Ceri and I try to give parents (and ourselves) a rotation of fast, nutritious meals that come together easily.
This dish is one of those meals. The chopping is the most labor intensive part of it. However, its the kind of chopping that you can motor through. It’s not the dice-ten-things-into-perfect-little-pieces-all-the-same-size-until-you-have-an-aneurism kind of chopping. It’s rough and throw-it-in-the-pan chopping. Plus, you could easily sub-in a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. Also, if you’re missing one of the veggies, any vegetable you have in the refrigerator will work as well. In other words, you likely have a lot of these ingredients on-hand. The only thing you can’t do without (in my opinion) is the fresh basil. So, if you don’t have any, call your partner right now and tell them to pick it up on the way home. After all, you’re doing the cooking.
- 2 red pepper, seeded and cut into wedges
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, coarsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed, and quartered lengthwise
- 3 small ripe tomatoes, quartered
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons of parmesan
- 1/2 lb dry pasta
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Scatter the peppers, red onion and garlic in a large roasting tin.
Sprinkle with sugar, drizzle over the oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roast for 15 minutes, toss in the tomatoes and artichokes and roast for another 15 minutes until everything is soft and golden brown.
While the vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water. Cook according to package instructions. Drain well.
Remove the vegetables from the oven, tip in the pasta and toss lightly.
Tear the basil leaves on top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
I gave Scarlett the day off when I made this dish as it was her birthday. Plus she’d helped the night before with her big birthday dinner of lamb. (Yes, the kid chose lamb for her family party.) I can’t make her cook all her birthday meals. However, I can make her cook all my birthday meals.
Since she fancies herself a chef, Scarlett usually has a lot to say about a meal. This was no exception even though she didn’t cook it. In fact, everyone did. My parents loved it and Scarlett finished her plate. Twice. That must have been her birthday present to me.

Blood Lions Fremantle
Wed. 7 December 2016, 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm AWST
Every single day in South Africa at least two to three captive bred or tame lions are being killed in canned hunts. And hundreds more are slaughtered annually for the lion bone trade.
This explosive, multi-award winning documentary exposes the underbelly of this unscrupulous industry. From tourists and volunteers being duped into thinking they are contributing to conservation by hand raising cubs a few days old to lions being bred for the bullet, to be sold online to hunters who fly in; after a quick, efficient, cost effective and guaranteed kill. The cycle from cub petting to killing.
Almost 8,000 predators are being held in cages or confined areas, and none of this has anything to do with conservation. If we don’t act now, that number could well be over 12,000 within the next few years.
You have the power to stop lions being bred for the bullet.
This is a rare and exclusive event joined by SAVE African Rhino Foundation.
Not only will you see the original version of Blood Lions, Donalea Patman, Founder of For the Love of Wildlife will talk about her work in securing the Australian ban on lion trophies and body parts working with Ian Michler, lead role and Pippa Hankinson, Producer.
Confronting but not gory.
