Eating season has arrived, and with it, fears of expanding waistlines, dismissed workout schedules, and plenty of holiday stress.
But contrary to what you might've been told, a Thanksgiving feast can be relatively healthy. Many holiday staples, like beans, squash, and other colorful fruits and vegetables are all healthful fare, as long as you don't overdo it on the portions or add too much sugar.
Here are nine nutrient-packed foods to add to your table this year.
Turkey is lower in saturated fat than most other meats (chicken included), and whether you prefer white or dark meat, a single serving will provide you with somewhere around 30 grams of protein.
Contrary to popular belief, there isn't much more tryptophan in turkey than in meats like beef and chicken.
If you're sleepy after the big meal, it's probably just a sign that you ate a lot.
Fiber doesn't just keep things moving along in the body.
A decades-long February 2019 study of more than 125,000 Americans found that people who consistently ate a fiber-rich diet were also less likely to develop liver cancer. Other studies suggest fiber-eaters are better at staving off develop Type 2 diabetes and obesity, most likely because fiber keeps the gut microbiome healthy.
Baked beans are also a good source of magnesium, calcium, and iron.

While there's no good evidence that extra vitamin C can prevent a cold, it does help our bodies absorb iron, maintain bone structure, and keep up immune functions.
Folate, similarly, helps our bodies produce red blood cells to stay healthy and alert.
There is also tons of folate in dark leafy greens like spinach and asparagus, mushrooms, and poultry.
Phytochemicals help our bodies defend us against disease. They reduce inflammation, and also act like ingestible body guards, preventing and repairing DNA damage in the body that can lead to cancer.
Research suggests some of the chemicals in cranberries may even fight off foodborne illnesses like norovirus. Just don't load them up with too much sugar (most canned varieties already have a lot added in).
Stick to fresh cranberries, not the dried kind, for the best nutritional benefits.
"One cup of chopped raw cranberries, for example, contains 14.6 mg of vitamin C per serving, while one cup of dried cranberries contains 0.3 mg," as the American Heart Association notes.
People who eat carotenoid-rich foods like dark leafy greens, carrots, and sweet potatoes can convert the chemicals in those plants into nutrients like vitamin A.
Vitamin A is essential for developing healthy embryos, keeping tissues healthy, and ensuring the immune system functions properly. It's better to eat your vitamin A, and shy away from supplements, since those can lead to liver problems.
Actress Angela Bassett says she even makes a "mean brownie" which substitutes sweet potatoes for white flour, a nutrition-winning swap.
Just be careful this year with Romaine, as salad greens from the Salinas, California growing region have been linked to a nationwide E.coli outbreak.
Adding cruciferous raw veggies like broccoli and Brussels sprouts to your salad mix may even protect our cells from DNA damage and kill cancer, as they break down into biologically active compounds that, at least in lab animal tests, look promising. Scientists are still determining if these processes work the same way in humans that they do in animals, though.
A single cup of canned pumpkin provides a grown woman with about 20% of her daily recommended potassium dose.
If you're buying canned pumpkin, just make sure it's pure squash, and not the pie mix that comes with loads of added sugar.
"Add cooked or canned pumpkin to breakfast smoothies, Greek yogurt, or baked goods such as pancakes, muffins, or breads for a nutrition boost," Sue Freck, a registered dietitian at Children's Hospital of Orange County, suggested in a recent blog post.
Studies suggest a quick stroll (about 15 minutes after a meal or so) can not only help move food through our guts smoothly, but might actually improve blood sugar levels, perhaps because more glucose is being put to use by our muscles.

What you need to know
- Cyberpunk 2077 has led a complicated life since the sci-fi RPG's 2020 release date.
- However, the game has vastly improved over time, and it's now coming to a new platform.
- On Tuesday, CD PROJEKT RED announced that Cyberpunk 2077 is now Steam Deck Verified.
- That means the game is guaranteed to be compatible with Valve's popular Steam Deck handheld gaming PC.
Cyberpunk 2077 has understandably suffered under the weight of controversy since its release, but the ambitious sci-fi RPG from The Witcher studio CD PROJEKT RED has evolved by leaps and bounds in the last few years. On Tuesday, the CP2077 team announced that the game is now Steam Deck Verified, meaning it's now fully compatible with a new, handheld platform.
Can't get enough of Night City? Wish you could take it with you, wherever you go? Well now you can, because #Cyberpunk2077 has been Verified for #Steam Deck Compatibility!If you already have a copy of the game in your Steam Library then it's ready to run on your Steam Deck. pic.twitter.com/sG7r3opJZ9February 28, 2023
The Steam Deck is theoretically capable of running countless PC games across various storefronts, but only Steam itself offers a tested library of compatible titles for this surprisingly powerful handheld. Two years ago, Cyberpunk 2077 running well on this level of hardware would've been impossible, but the game is now Steam Deck Verified. The timing is perfect, as the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion is arriving later this year.
With massive performance and graphics improvements, endless quality-of-life enhancements, and brand-new content all being featured additions of past Cyberpunk 2077 updates, the open-world RPG can now stand among the best Steam Deck games available on the handheld. Another notable, recent addition to the Steam Deck Verified library is Hi-Fi RUSH, the intense rhythm brawler from Tango Gameworks and Xbox Game Studios.
The Steam Deck continues to be an excellent device for PC gamers that like to keep moving, and its library of tested games continues to expand at an exciting pace. If you're considering a Steam Deck or already have one in hand, it's easy to further improve the experience with any of the best Steam Deck accessories, ranging from all-inclusive docks to best-in-class peripherals.
The Valve Steam Deck packs a surprising amount of power into a massive, yet still comfortable, handheld form factor. Take your Steam library on the go, and play hundreds of PC-quality games like Cyberpunk 2077 wherever you are.

Joe Biden could not manage the media, in the face of such a catastrophic and disastrous US retreat from Afghanistan. The sorry scenes of the city of Kabul are making Americans angry and sad at the same time. Recently, a Lieutenant Colonel was sacked after he took to social media to launch a scathing attack on Vice President Joe Biden and military commanders, accusing them of being responsible for the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This is just one addition to the increasing rhetoric among the people that the Biden administration is squarely responsible and the fact that Biden is not at all willing to recognise the blunder that was committed. As an anti-government wave is sizzling, even in the US military, Joe Biden must resign if he wants to prevent the collapse of the country.
Active-duty Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller fired attack after attack on US military and Joe Biden’s administration leaders for their deadly handling of the pullout from Afghanistan in an extraordinary five-minute video broadcast to social media. Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller chastised senior figures for allowing an estimated 170 Afghan citizens and 13 US Marines to be killed in a suicide bombing on Thursday, one of whom was only 20 years old and expecting a child in September, and, for abandoning Afghanistan to the Taliban before questioning key military strategic decisions that have given the Taliban access to over $85 billion in US weapons.
The marine also questioned the strategic decision-making of military authorities involved in the withdrawal in great detail. He slammed the abandonment of the former US-run Bagram airbase, which the Taliban have subsequently captured and pillaged. These actions led to reactions. Major Jim Stenger, Marine Corps spokesperson, told DailyMail.com in a statement that Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller was relieved of command by Col. David Emmel, Commanding Officer of School of Infantry-East. He said the decision was made “due to a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to command.”
As the news of the Taliban seizing the Afghan capital surfaced, it made the Army veteran, Kim Enderle, grieve. He said, “I’m sad for the people who lost their lives,” said Enderle, who served in the military for 25 years before going to Afghanistan as a contractor. “I’m sad for the people that continue to live there, that have had a taste for 20 years, what a difference they could experience, perhaps under a democracy similar to ours.” “Especially the women.”
Some veterans believe that the Taliban’s return was unavoidable, but they are frustrated that the government fell apart with little to no opposition and that the US did not do more to assist Afghans in fleeing. Now as we know, Joe Biden might have done it intentionally as an earlier TFI report has mentioned that he did not care at all.
The USA is already reeling with multiple disasters, be it the uncontrolled entry of illegal immigrants from the southern borders, the forced steamrolling of legislations, changing the curriculum to the will and wish of the socialists and extreme left, jeopardizing the country’s future. However, the botched exit from Afghanistan and the accompanying mess has made it hard for even the most loyal Democrats and their sympathisers in media and Hollywood to defend the Biden administration. Public opinion is swaying away from the democrats even faster as now even the veterans and their near and dear ones feel that they have been wronged by Joe Biden.
These developments when assessed with the current socio-economic situation makes it clear that there are increasing problems. And now, as the anti-government wave gains momentum, going ahead, Joe Biden will need to resign to get it resolved.

The Jack Russell cross is a mix between the Jack Russel Terrier and other breeds of terriers. This mix has been popular for decades and its popularity continues to grow. It can be hard to determine the exact percentage of breeds in this mix – some are bred as ‘designer hybrid dogs’ (which I’m not a fan of) and some are adopted and don’t really know what’s in the mix!
How to tell what type of Jack Russell Cross you have
The only real way to tell what kind of Jack Russell Cross you have is to have a dog DNA test done. You can order these online and do them from home with your dogs saliva!
Jack Russell Cross Personality
The Jack Russell Cross personality varies depending on the individual dog’s personality traits. Some may have more dominant personalities while others are more submissive and friendly. Some may have more energy and some less energy. Of the dogs that are considered to be part of the Jack Russel cross, there is not a well defined personality and it can be difficult to predict how a particular dog will act.
This mix is generally friendly towards humans, but may not always be quite as friendly with dogs or other pets being added. It’s important to always make sure that any new family or household members stay out of the way when a Jack Russel Cross puppy is playing. They’re just too small to take on adult dogs by themselves and could cause serious injury if they are knocked over and hit incorrectly during play time.
Is a Jack Russell Cross a good family pet?
There is no clear answer to this question. Like they say, ‘it depends’. It depends on how it was raised by its owner and what type of personality is in that particular dog. A Jack Russel Cross can be an excellent family pet if it gets the attention and love needed from its owner. However, just like any other dog, it needs plenty of attention and exercise or you run the risk of having a bored and even destructive dog. It can make for a great family pet if the owner takes an interest in the dog’s training needs.
Different Jack Russell Cross Dogs
The Jackapoo is a Jack Russell Poodle cross. These dogs are quite popular with owners who love Jack Russells but can’t handle the shedding or who are allergic to short haired dogs. The Jackapoo mix means that the cross breed inherits the hypoallergenic fur of the Poodle but retains the energetic traits of the Jack Russell.
Jack Russell Daschund Cross
The Jack Russell cross Daschund is basically a sausage Jack Russell! The body will be longer and the legs shorter. You will end up with a loyal crossbreed.
Jack Russell Border Cross
Jack Russell Terrier cross Border Terriers are a popular mixed breed of dog. They are a cross between the Jack Russell and the Border Terrier. This mixed breed is one of the most popular breeds in the United States, Canada, and UK for people who want to buy a dog as pet. It is believed that this mixed breed has been around since the 1800s when it was first bred in England. They will be fiesty and energtic due to this mix of working stock.
Jack Russell Poodle Cross
The main advantage of the Jack Russell Poodle Cross is that Jack Russells shed a lot of fur, but with a Jack Russell Poodle cross, this is much less likely to be the case due to the fur of the poodle, which is hypoallergenic. They are popular family pets with a bouncy and loving personality.

RIM’s new CEO Thorsten Heins may have inherited a sinking ship, but he seems determined to explore all avenues in his attempt to find an escape route for the ailing Canadian firm.
Having previously been very keen to keep its BlackBerry Messenger crown jewel as a key feature that is exclusive to its hardware, BlackBerry smartphones may not be the only ones to support it some time in the future. RIM’s new CEO outlined his company’s openness to such a move during an interview with CrackBerry.
If RIM was to license its SMS-like instant messaging system to third parties then it could stript the firm’s handsets of arguably their biggest feature…
Heins believes that the company should be open to the possibility of allowing third parties to use BBM, but he also clearly believes that while it is something RIM may consider in the future, the time is not quite right just yet.
“We’re constantly exploring our room to maneuver and our room to explore other businesses so I wouldn’t say categorically no to it,” Heins explained. “There is a time where this might make sense, and I have a team looking into this… I’m open for licensing if it makes sense.”
BBM was once a unique selling point for RIM, but with iMessage on iOS and various other BBM clones now available, and instant messaging apps prevalent on smartphones, it’s arguable that BBM does not carry the weight it once did.
The fact that RIM would even consider allowing BlackBerry Messenger onto non-BlackBerry handsets is something of a departure for the company, but with a marketshare falling, Heins knows the company needs to do something to survive.
Perhaps moving to being a services company rather than a hardware one is something they could end up looking at more closely.

Recognizing the interconnected links, in fact, is the theme of my essay, No Missing Links. I was in some ways relieved, and in others, incensed. I always come back to the distinction between separative and connective philosophies. Right-wing thought is the former, building walls of separation between individuals and society, between nations, between themselves and the world of ideas all around them.
Thanks for telling us about the problem. My most recent post at Because the World is Round For 12 frantic minutes, Williams traded shots with the police, employing three firearms and a small arsenal of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds fired from a. My outrage sprang from the irony of the tourism industry utilizing what I would call a crude caricature of the Tehuelche culture to market their product amidst land disputes and the larger struggle of the indigenous Mapuche and Tehuelche people for not only justice but also to regain their dignity.
Relief came from knowing that my understanding of Castellano was not insufficient, that the problem was not due to a horrible translation from the original Tehuelche language into Castellano, although how accurate it is remains unknown to me; and that the Tehuelches were not simply horrible storytellers.

Book ratings by Goodreads. These aborigines that lived in argentine land in the territory that goes from the present province of Buenos Aires to the Lsyendas of Tehuslches, had an close relationship with nature and took care of the animals who supplied food for them. But the way that the story is presented on the tourism website, without being identified as mere fragments of the full legend, as I discovered it to be elsewhere, trivializes the story, feeding the perception that the Tehuelches are extremely unsophisticated, childlike, and unworthy of being taken seriously.
Refresh and try again. It is the Great Disconnect, the fractionalization of perception, the chopping-up of information into disparate soundbites and the growing obsession with disembodied twitters, so that random parts can then be reformulated into different configurations that appear to the uninquisitive to make up a cohesive whole, that is furthered by the increasing inability to think beyond character tweets.
Left-wing thought is the latter, trying to tear down walls that leyendws us, recognizing the interconnected links that tie us all together in society, encouraging cooperation and seeking understanding though the open-minded interchange of ideas.

So no matter how upset you are with the government as it is, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, we have to fight with whatever we have, and the battle is connectivity tehuepches divisiveness, making government work versus making it go away, wholeness versus fragmentation, thoughtfulness versus ideology, and understanding the whole story over settling for the cynicism-inducing chopped-up version.

One Week, Nearly One Billion in Deals for Morrison & Foerster
- Nov 04, 2011
November 4, 2011
By Nicholas Ziegler, News Editor
It’s been the busiest of busy weeks for Morrison & Foerster, as the law firm’s real estate group has completed some huge deals in New York City. Monday saw the firm represent Bank of America in a $700 million syndicated construction loan to Extell Development Co. – in what sources are calling “the largest single-property construction financing in the U.S. in 2011” – for the development of the 90-story Park Hyatt Hotel and residential condominium tower on West 57th Street in Manhattan.
Additionally, the firm helped Bank of America in its $160 million financing to Edward J. Minksoff for the development of 51 Astor Place, a trophy 400,000 square foot office building in New York, as well as CIBC in a $110 million mortgage refi for the 30-story Sofitel on West 44th Street, a building co-owned by Gem Realty and Whitehall Capital.
Mark Edelstein, chair of the firm’s global real estate finance group, told Commercial Property Executive that Manhattan is “bucking the trend” when it comes to the city’s attractiveness to investors. “New York,” he said, “and a few other cities such as [Washington] D.C., Chicago and San Francisco, seem different from many, if not most other areas of the U.S., which are still feeling depressed. Manhattan remains the financial capital of the world.”
While Bank of America is lead lender on the One57 project on West 57th, a consortium of other domestic and foreign investors are involved as well, including Capital One, Banco Santander, Abu Dhabi International Bank and Bank of Nova Scotia.
“Despite the softness in many sectors of the national real estate market, some key geographies remain vibrant and we are fortunate to be right in the middle of the busiest corridors, working alongside the leading lenders, developers and investors,” Marc Young, a partner in Morrison & Foerster’s Los Angeles office, said. “Clearly, the transactions we’ve handled in recent months demonstrate that substantial financing remains available for the right projects and sponsors. And the pipeline looks promising for more deals ahead, including a number of international financings.”

John Lackey on Christian Bethancourt admiring HR: ‘I got a long memory’
John Lackey was none too pleased with how Christian Bethancourt stood and admired his mammoth game-winning solo shot during the Chicago Cubs’ 1-0 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.
Bethancourt’s towering shot to left field, his third home run on the season, came during the fifth inning and ended up on the street outside Wrigley Field.
Video of Lackey’s reaction to Bethancourt watching his home run fly out of the ballpark (video here) appears to show the pitcher bark, “You better (expletive) run!” as the Padres catcher circled the bases.
Lackey had some choice words for Bethancourt afterward as well over what he clearly felt was showboating, hinting that revenge may be exacted sometime down the line.
“How many home runs does he have?” Lackey asked, via the Chicago Tribune.
When informed Bethancourt has three on the season season, Lackey issued the following warning:
“I have a long memory,” he said. “He’ll learn.”
The Cubs saw their red-hot start come to something of a mini-thud Wednesday, dropping two games to the Padres in their home ballpark, where they were 12-3 heading into the doubleheader.
Perhaps Cubs president Theo Epstein was right to be apprehensive over all the praise the team has been receiving. Then again, the Cubs are 25-8 and remain the toast of Major League Baseball, so any overreaction probably wouldn’t be advisable.

Aloha to all/anyone reading this blog. It has been a very long and boring slog to get out of Orange County and move home to Maui. The disasters and delays are over, but the household effects are somewhere not around here. Shoulda used a PODS container ONLY!
I changed the background picture for this blog, to show everyone the teeny 4X4 foot plots, all 9 of them, all overgrown with weeds, impossible-to-remove Okinawan yam runners, long-spent stalks of broccoli, partially disassembled supports, and generally not much left.
Rooting about in those squares reveals some remaining peanut plants, some resprouted Yukon Gold potatoes (some were even on the top of the soil, all greened out), some scattered Candy onions, some clumps of garlic that got hidden and then sprouted from the bulbs, a bedraggled stump of an artichoke, and one healthy sage bush, which had been cut to stubs at my last visit about 8 months ago. I have much to do! I have found a few amazingly vigorous yellow pear tomato plants in the front yard, from a volunteer that popped up in the rose bed, then was running rampantly over them - it was cut down by a miscreant, but I think a few seeds managed to sprout in the lawn, so I am giving them some TLC before I move them to a better spot.
I'm surprised to see how quickly soil amendments disappear over a few months, but then, it has been essentially fallow, while the plants from earlier have grown and faded away. I plan to really tear into the squares to weed, amend, and start some plants, since I won't have any seed-starting stuff that I had packed and shipped over yet. That is OK, I have some little lettuces and tomatoes from Walmart, and the yellow tomato volunteers to give me a jump start. I'll have a lot more to do over the next few months, when I can start composting, testing the soil, da kine.
The winds will get another chance to challenge my support designs (they always lose, but not as fast as before). The grassy areas need just as much help, or more, it seems, but again, what has been lacking is a bit of feeding, some topdressing, and some hands-and-knees weeding, and some regular watering and mowing. At last I am here to do all that!
I will try to have some more pictures next posting, too, since I got my little netbook working now, and I can maybe show some progress on the back 144 (square feet, that is).

The government has permitted 100% FDI in railway infrastructure and has announced the development of four new dedicated freight corridors and six new high-speed corridors with a total projected investment of USD 158 billion. The Indian Railways is looking to electrify the entire network by 2025. 700 stations will be fed with solar power in the medium term.
Australian private corporations and infrastructure focused funds can therefore explore investment opportunities in India’s railway infrastructure. The government has also taken the decision to allow 150 trains to be operated by private operators. It is envisaged that the private train operators will be permitted to have their own rolling stocks which will not only encourage wide participation but also adoption of global best practices. India should encourage private operators from Australia to explore this opportunity. Further, the government also plans to develop 110 new railway stations under the public-private partnership model, thus presenting investment opportunities for Australia.
Indian railways have huge passenger traffic that has led to the country developing expertise in manufacturing rails, sleepers, signaling equipment, metro coaches, locomotives, etc. (known as rolling stock). Large cities across the country have also invested in state-of-the-art technologies to increase reliability and efficiency of urban rail systems. This has led to the emergence of metro projects across various Indian cities. In addition, the Government’s focus on improving public transportation in the country has also resulted in the development of ancillary industries such as railway equipment and spare parts industry. Metro coaches and other parts, including battery boxes, window glasses, bogie frames, brake blocks, propulsion systems and vacuum circuit breakers are now being indigenously manufactured in India.388
Global companies, such as Alstom, Bombardier and Hyundai Rotem have already set up manufacturing plants in India. The China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) has also entered into an MoU with the Government of Maharashtra for setting up a manufacturing facility in the Multimodal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN).389
India thus has local manufacturing capabilities that can be leveraged to supply railway components to meet domestic as well as international requirements.
In recent years, railway exports to Australia have been on the rise. In 2016-17, India’s railway exports to Australia were USD 167.4 million and in 2017-18, the exports increased to USD 351.3 million on account of export of metro coaches by Alstom to Australia.390
In addition, Bombardier has also invested 33 million Euros (USD 35.77 million) in its Indian manufacturing facility and has orders to export 450 metro rail coaches to Australia and components to Brazil, Australia and Saudi Arabia. The Quebec-based company has a manufacturing plant in the Gujarat in Western India and a transportation engineering services
center in Gurgaon, near New Delhi.391
Australia has several on-going as well as planned railway projects that offer export opportunities for Indian railway equipment manufacturers.
Some of Australia’s current rail projects include:392
Australia is a net importer of railway equipment. While the share of Indian exports to Australia is on the rise, China remains the largest source of imports for railway equipment to Australia (Approximately 41% of total imports in 2018).393
Railway Equipment thus presents a promising opportunity for Indian exporters to Australia. This can be carried out through technical collaborations with railway equipment manufacturers in Australia as well as by consolidating in-house manufacturing capabilities of Indian companies. At a policy level, the Ministry of Railways in India, in partnership with Indian Government undertakings such as RITES and IRCON, can encourage technical partnerships with their
Australian based company Aurizon is a well-established rail freight operator, known for its modernized technology and logistical solutions in the transportation of bulky commodities. This company has specialized expertise in rail design, engineering, construction, etc. Thus, India can seek Australia’s expertise on railway haulage via collaborations with companies like Aurizon to increase the reliability and efficiency of its current rail haulage systems. Furthermore, the Institute of Railway Technology (IRT) in Monash University has been developing Unmanned Autonomous Systems (UAS), commonly known as ‘drones’, for autonomous inspections of railway tracks. The Indian government can use Australia’s expertise in conducting such automated inspections to reduce frequency of rail accidents.394

Remy double seals Newcastle win
Fulham moved out of the Premier League relegation zone after posting their first win in six league games - and only their second of the season - with a 1-0 home triumph against Stoke.
The three points were sealed by Darren Bent's left-footed strike with seven minutes of normal time to go.
Stoke dominated the match, and had two penalty appeals turned down and a couple of headers cleared off the line, but could not break through.
Newcastle, who had suffered losses in their previous two league outings, also bounced back as they won 2-1 at Cardiff, with Loic Remy netting both Magpies goals to take his tally to five in his last three matches.
Remy drilled in his first on the half-hour mark having burst forward and then converted on the follow-up in the 38th minute when David Marshall parried Papiss Cisse's shot.
The home side pulled a goal back 13 minutes after the break through Peter Odemwingie, but Newcastle were able to hold on.
In the day's other 3pm kick-off, Hull and Aston Villa played out a 0-0 draw at the KC Stadium.

The UN and Gabarron Foundation bring international art to local attention
The remarkable institution that parented the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 65 years ago and has been campaigning for human rights ever since-the UN, of course-will be turning 70 in 2015. To celebrate, they've mounted a superb exhibit of art culled from their massive archives. Dubbed UNEARTH, the exhibit is currently on view at the Gabarron Foundation's Carriage House Center for the Arts, 149 E. 38th St., through December 27, when it will tour the world before returning to New York for the UN's birthday.
This fascinating exhibit is designed to illustrate the UN's drive for human rights, development, peace and security, and humanitarian assistance. But it also serves to reflect the way art is perceived and produced by an organization representing 193 members from radically different cultures. Through posters created by such artists as Joan Miró and Keith Haring, images from photographers stationed around the world, and a film series accompanied by Q and As with high-ranking UN officials, UNEARTH embodies the fine line-if a line exists at all-between politics and art. It's the brainchild of Chaim Litewski, chief of the UN's TV unit, and the Gabarrón brothers, whose Carriage House Center for the Arts provides a gorgeous brownstone setting dedicated to international cultural exchange.
UNEARTH commences on the brownstone's first floor with a historical roar: A sketch of a proposed UN structure drawn on a napkin by FDR during his meeting with Stalin and Churchill in Teheran. This segues into a fine collection of 40 photographs culled from an 800,000-image archive. Highlights include a sizzling 2011 shot of young men grasping their way toward a border in Libya by contract photographer Alexis Duclos, and John Isaac's image of Vietnamese refugees scrambling over makeshift boats in Kowloon while Hong Kong skyscrapers beckon, hostile, metallic, in the background. On the second floor, 34 posters ranging from historic to supercontemporary chronicle the UN's self-image as it changes over time.
UNEARTH can be considered both an art exhibit and a self-portrait. Discussions that are so important now-sustainable development; empowering women; self-determination-originated in the UN, a fact reflected in the iconography of UNEARTH. But the iconography also suggests an institution that is highly conscious of the fact that it serves 193 bosses. UNEARTH, then, does nothing short of representing the fascinating interplay between doing and not doing-between making the world a better place and simply letting people live as they would-that might well represent the ultimate human challenge.

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Hampden County Sheriff-elect Nick Cocchi has sent a letter to state officials asking them to increase the state’s proposed excise tax on recreational marijuana.
Under the current guidelines, marijuana distributors would pay the state’s sales tax, an optional 2% local tax, and a 3.75% proposed state excise tax. Cocchi wants to boost the excise tax another 5% to 8.75%.
“The 5% needs to go towards addiction and substance abuse services. That will help us, and allow us to be responsible, and more importantly, responsive to whatever issues are going to come our way with the legalization of marijuana,” Cocchi said.
It will be legal to own and grow marijuana in Massachusetts as of December 15th. There won’t be any state sanctioned recreational marijuana dispensaries until 2018.

The Chairman of the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) Maj. Gen Charles Tai Gituai on Thursday called on the peace parties to speed up reconstitution of the Political Parties Council.
The political parties council is charged with registration of political parties ahead of national elections slated for December 2024.
“Operationalize all the enacted laws, particularly those related to the permanent constitution and elections processes to expedite the reconstitution of the Political Parties Council,” Gituai said during RJMEC monthly meeting held in Juba.
Gituai stressed the need for timely reconstitution of political parties’ council to help in protecting political space.
He also urged the parties to fast-track the drafting of the new constitution, stressing that it will provide legal framework for the conduct of election.
Gituai also reminded the parties to the 2018 revitalized peace agreement to establish bodies required under the Constitution-Making Process Act 2022, and the enactment of the National Elections Bill.
He said reconstitution of Political Parties Council and the National Elections Commission is lagging behind.
“For example, according to the Roadmap by now both the Political Parties Council and the National Elections Commission should have been reconstituted,” Gituai said.
“These are two critical bodies required for the process of conducting credible elections. Further, the restructuring and reconstitution of the various commissions and institutions at national level should also have been completed by now.”
According to the enacted Political Parties Act, a political party is required to have at least 500 members from each of the states in order to be eligible for registration.

MANILA President Rodrigo R. Duterte on Wednesday reminded members of his Cabinet that none of his family members or relatives should be given special treatment especially when it comes to matters concerning the government.
Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo (Didn't I tell you), if it is a request coming from (my) son, daughter, relatives, consider it denied, Duterte said in a speech at the Bureau of Customs in Manila.
Prangkahan mo (Be frank). Sorry, sabi ni mayor (said), not even to entertain, he added.
Last week, Duterte fired Department of Transportation (DOTr) Assistant Secretary Mark Tolentino for allegedly having dealings with his sister, who was not named.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque had announced the firing of Tolentino for having dealings with the President's sister but did not give further details.
The President reiterated that he did not believe in the term First Family, calling it passe.
There is no such thing in the Philippines as a family. That first family does not enjoy any advantage at all, Duterte said.
Duterte, who has in several occasions mentioned that he prefers living a simple life, also said that he did not even ask for sumptuous meals prepared during Cabinet meetings.
Bahay ng gobyerno 'yan, ang pagkain diyan gastos ng gobyerno (That's the home of the government, and the meals are also spent by the government), Duterte said.
He said that he would prefer one cup of rice, one main dish, and soup over steak or even a hotel buffet.
It's always isang kanin, one cup na maliit, isang ulam, pati isang sabaw. I've done away with itong mga steak, steak (It's always one cup of rice, one main dish, and soup. I've done away with steak), Duterte said.
The President said that he is not used to eating fancy meals. (PNA)

Single point for pickers
BUNDABERG will have a "one-stop shop" for fruit picking if an idea from Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers comes to fruition.
The grower organisation is studying the feasibility of creating a register or database of all picking workers, their skills and when they are in the region.
The growers group's executive officer Peter Hockings said the register would still allow farmers to work with their preferred labour hire companies.
"If a farmer wants five workers the next day and they called their labour hire company and they could only provide three, the labour hire company can check the register," he said.
"The next day you will have two people employed who probably would not have been."
Mr Hockings said they hoped the register would reduce the number of phone calls workers and employers had to make.
"We get people calling here looking for work because they think we are an employer," he said.
"I know the tourist information centre also gets a lot of calls looking for work."
Mr Hockings said any prospective picker or farm worker would be able to place their details on the register along with the details of their skills and when they would be able to start work.
He said it was also hoped the register would be able to determine what time of year more workers were needed in Bundaberg.
"It's about encouraging workers to continue to come to Bundaberg," he said.
It is also hoped the register would help improve the region's reputation among itinerant workers, who are often turned away because they arrive looking for work at the wrong time of year.
Mr Hockings said BFVG was searching for grants to start up a pilot of the program.
"That way we could really get a feel of how it would best operate," he said.
He said the database would also look at working with hostels in the region to show bed availability.

The knowledge of cotton
The cultivated cotton belongs to the genus Malvaceae. Commonly known as cotton. It is an important cash crop. It is usually an annual sub-shrub, and there are primitive types of perennial shrubs or small trees in the tropics and subtropics. Originated in a tropical arid region near the equator. It has been cultivated in modern times through long-term natural domestication and artificial selection. Mexican Indians knew to use and cultivate cotton as early as 5800 BC. Xinjiang is the earliest area for cotton planting in China. Wax cotton unearthed in the Tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty proved that China had used cotton more than 1,700 years ago. In China's older ancient books, there was a lack of records on cotton and cotton planting. Until the 11th to 13th centuries (Song Dynasty), cotton was planted in the Yangtze River basin of China and gradually became the main raw material for people's clothing.
Distribution of production areas The world cotton area is distributed between 38°~46° north latitude and 35° south latitude. Can be divided into 3 cotton belts: 1 North belt. At 46° to 20° north latitude, cotton producing countries including Asia, North America and Europe account for about 80% of the world's cotton production. 2 in the belt. In the north latitude 20 ° ~ 0 °, including cotton in the north of Africa and South America, accounting for about 10% of the world's cotton production. 3 South Belt. At 0° to 30° south latitude, cotton-producing countries, including South America and Oceania, account for about 7% of world cotton production.
In addition to a few areas in the northernmost part of the country and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China has cotton cultivation. The provinces of Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu and Hubei have the largest areas, accounting for more than 60% of the country's total output. According to natural conditions, cultivation characteristics and suitable variety types, it can be divided into five cotton areas in South China, Yangtze River Basin, Yellow River Basin, Northern Early Mature Area and Northwest Inland. China's cotton production is among the highest in the world.

Many passersby at Vanier Park have noticed the inconspicuous 38-tonne column on the grass outside the Vancouver Maritime Museum, and many stop by to ask us what it is. Well, despite its most common use as a climbing wall for adventurous kids and adults, the column’s intended home had been an American mint built in the late 19th century. The column is one half of a pair mined from the sandstone quarry on Newcastle Island in Nanaimo. The columns were finished in 1872 and were meant to be used to support the entrance of the new San Francisco Mint. On February 12, 1872, the two columns were aboard the Zephyr and on their way to San Francisco.
The Zephyr was a 200-foot, three-masted barque and was well up to the challenge of carrying thousands of pounds of stone down the Pacific coast. In addition to the two 38-tonne columns, the ship was carrying five large stone slabs weighing nearly 2 tonnes each. The ship set off on its voyage in the cold, clear winter. By the time it had reached Active Pass on February 13, it was dark and a snowstorm had set in. The crew kept a sharp eye out, weaving the ship to avoid land and obstacles in their path. But the blinding snow made it nearly impossible to distinguish the land from the sea.
Tragedy struck when the Zephyr struck a rock and damaged the starboard bilge. The crew leapt into action and the pumps were put to work, but their efforts were in vain. The water level in the hold continued to rise. The crew began preparations to depart the ship at first light, but before they could abandon ship, at 5:00 a.m. it suddenly heeled over. All but four men managed to make it to the lifeboat before the ship sunk. Those unfortunate men were the captain, the cook and two crewmen. While the cook was fished from the water and one crewman, Philip Gough, was recovered on the beach, both Captain Hipson and crewmen J. Stewart were lost.
The two sandstone columns and stone slabs went down with the ship where they spent over a century on the sea floor.
The wreck of the Zephyr was discovered off the rocky coast of Mayne Island in 1976, resting in 40 feet of water between Edith Point and David’s Cove. Divers recovered the capstan, chronometer and other pieces from the ship from beneath a century’s worth of undisturbed sand. But the biggest feat of recovery was raising the two sandstone columns.
After mapping and inventorying the wreck, the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia (UASBC) retrieved the two columns and five stone slabs in 1987. Four of the stone slabs went to the waterfront park in Nanaimo, and one went to the Mayne Island Museum. As for the two stone columns, one was returned to Newcastle Island, while its twin was given to the VMM to be displayed at Vanier Park. You can come check out the historic sandstone column for yourself, located right outside the VMM on the northern lawn in beautiful Vanier Park.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities are investigating what caused a brawl to break out at a steakhouse in Cedar Rapids over the weekend.
Cedar Rapids police say the Sunday night fight at an Outback Steakhouse involved at least one suspect and three injured people.
Cedar Rapids station KCRG reports (http://bit.ly/1bNAaCi ) 30-year-old Matthew Sanders is accused of hitting a man at a nearby table. Police say the man’s adult daughter intervened and also was assaulted. Witnesses say a pregnant waitress also was injured and taken to a hospital.
It’s unclear the extent of the injuries. Police say Sanders and the victims did not know each other.
Sanders has been charged with assault with a weapon and willful injury. Court records do not list an attorney.

Collectibles-General (Antiques)/porcelain lamps of victorian figures
Hi Rex, can you tell me possible maker and/or value of my porcelain lamps. Appear to be japanese made. The cord plugin has maker mark trio and looks 50s/60s. Cant find any maker marks. Would you know where i might find them? Take off the green felt on base maybe?
From looking at the base they may also be from Europe. On these type of lamps sometimes the marking is on the bottom of the porcelain figure which means you'd have to take the lamp apart to check. Unfortunately, sometimes there will be no markings. You also search Ebay to find a similar lamp in which a mfg has been identified.

Ex-cj sees new election if PET annuls votes in 3 Mindanao provinces
Former chief justice Artemio Panganiban on Thursday said voters in three Mindanao provinces – Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, and Basilan – should cast their votes again in case the Presidential Electoral Tribunal nullify their votes.
Panganiban issued the statement as the PET recently ordered Vice President Leni Robredo to comment on Marcos’ 3rd cause of action.
The third cause of action is the annulment of election results for vice president in the provinces of Lanao del Sur, Basilan, and Maguindanao.
It also ordered the release to the camps of Robredo and Marcos the report on the revision and appreciation of ballots in the three pilot provinces, and for them to comment on it.
“There should be a new election because the electorate in those three provinces must be heard. They must elect. Not because they are disenfranchised, therefore, somebody wins. Nobody wins,” he said.
Robredo won the vice presidential race in the May 2016 polls with 14,418,817 votes or 263,473 more than Marcos’ 14,155,344 votes.
But in his protest, Marcos contested the results in a total of 132,446 precincts in 39,221 clustered precincts covering 27 provinces and cities.
He named three provinces where he can supposedly prove that irregularities marred the conduct of the 2016 national and local elections.

Create your own set of Ford floor mats by combining your favorite logo with your favorite floor mat color. See below for logo options that may be available for your vehicle:
The focal point of this floor mat logo is the infamous Ford emblem displayed in its most common format and font style. Various versions of this logo have been utilized to represent the Ford Motor Company for over a hundred years. The font that is incorporated has been presented in almost every emblem that Ford ever developed over the years. It’s very distinctive to the company’s image and was introduced in 1909. There have been various modifications over the decades and the blue background was introduced in 1912. The oval was also first introduced in approximately the same timeline. The oval and the blue background were combined and the design stuck.
Thread color as shown only.
This logo exhibits one of the most famous marketing taglines that have ever been developed by an automotive manufacture. The phrase “Built Ford Tough” is displayed in this image in a very bold and aggressive manner. The main focal point is the tradition Ford emblem that has represented the Ford Motor Company for over one hundred years. The attention to detail and the high contrast level enhance the overall representation and increase the attention gaining capabilities. This phase has been utilized as a marketing tool to represent the Ford F-series truck line-up for almost forty years. Most marketing campaigns come and go in a very short timeline. This tagline is definitely an exception to that rule and Ford will probably continue this truck trademark in the future.
The infamous Ford emblem is displayed on this floor mat logo and is accompanied by the word "Racing" in a bold and aggressive red font. The Ford Motor Company and the racing have been associated with each other for well over a century. Henry Ford funded the company from proceeds he earned by racing an automobile that he had designed and built. His first attempt to start an automotive company was not successful. He founded the Detroit Motor Company in 1899 and was forced to shut it down. The Company was reorganized and named the Henry Ford Company in November 1901 with backing from investors because of his racing success.
This logo is a very detailed exhibit of the words Ford, Power Stroke, and Diesel. The word Ford is represented by the iconic Ford emblem that has represented the Ford Motor Company for several decades. The phrase "Power Stroke" is displayed below the emblem utilizing a bond font style that is accented with bordering. Diesel is illustrated with a white font incorporating a red background. The launch of the power stroke diesel in 1982 was a huge milestone for the Ford Motor Company. With over two decades of improvements the power stroke that produced 170 horsepower was transformed. The 2007 power stroke 6.4-Liter that was a smaller displacement then the original 6.9-Liter was rated at 350 horsepower.
This floor mat logo exhibits the phase “Powered by Ford” in a very distinct manner and color scheme. The word Ford is represented by the Ford emblem and the words powered by are illustrated in a bold and aggressive white font. The red, blue, and silver banner accents greatly enhance its attention gaining capabilities. The Ford Motor Company has utilized this phase to accent their cars, trucks, and SUV’s for several decades. It has been featured on emblems, engine components, and other applications. It has been presented on valve covers on several occasions. Several models have displayed these emblems and one of the most popular models to display this emblem was the Mustang.
This logo displays the iconic Ford emblem in a very unique manner. The scripted font type that is illustrated has been representing the Ford Motor Company for over a century. This design was developed by Childe Howard Wills in 1907. Using a stencil kit that belonged to his grandfather he illustrated a logo to represent the company. He selected this font style do to the fact that it was similar to way that writing was taught when him and Henry Ford went to school. It wasn’t until several years later that the oval was added. The logo that contained the oval was first displayed on the 1927 Model A.
Choose your thread color.
The focal point of this logo is SHO that signifies Super High Output and represents the special edition Ford Taurus SHO. The first Ford Taurus SHO rolled off the assembly line in 1989 powered by a high-performance V-6 motor. It was capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds that exceeded the expectations of a V-6 in this timeline. Several modifications were made to the interior and exterior of the automobile to establish a unique appearance that deferred from the standard model. The SHO version of the Taurus was also capable of a 15 second quarter mile time and a top speed slightly over 140 MPH.

“If you look closely, you’ll find that everything has a weak spot, where it can break….”
The same can be said for Fracture. There are plenty of flaws, and if you look hard enough you can find a lot of problems with everything from the story to the performances. Thankfully these flaws are quite minor and require the kind of scrutiny that would likely ruin almost any movie experience. I taught law for about 7 years and make it a bit of a (bad?) habit to look for the errors in court and legal procedures. I found plenty here, but they aren’t all that obvious or that detrimental to the plot. You’ll find errors in such trifles as chain of custody for evidence and the admissibility of certain types of testimony. If you’re a student of the law you’ll take note, as I did, and then hopefully move on. There’s too much compelling stuff here to allow yourself to miss out because of some rather common legal mistakes.
Ted Crawford (Hopkins) is an accomplished metallurgist. His specialty is finding that one hairline fracture that might have caused a tragedy, or perhaps prevent one, depending on when he discovers it. He has discovered that his wife is cheating on him. He leaves work early to spy on her during one of her rendezvous. Instead of confronting her he devises an elaborate scheme to kill her and, hopefully, get away scot free. He shoots her, but fails to kill her, placing her in an irretrievable coma instead. He then waits for the police to arrive. The detective on the scene is his wife’s lover, and it was all part of the plan. Lt. Rob Nunally (Burke) was unaware of who the victim was until his arrival. But for Crawford, it was all part of the plan. He elects to represent himself in court, going up against one of the best prosecutors in the business. The problem is that Willy Beachum (Gosling) already has one foot out of the door as a prosecutor and is days away from taking a rather cushy job at his girlfriend’s father’s firm. He carries a 97% conviction rate into the case, but his head’s not completely in this one, and he believes, incorrectly, that this one’s a slam dunk and won’t require much effort. Crawford ends up outsmarting him at each turn. Now Beachum faces the prospect of losing both jobs and his girl.
The story is a simple morality tale about arrogance. Both Beachum and Crawford succumb to the vice, and it draws them both dangerously close to their own individual falls. On the surface, this is one of those standard courtroom thrillers that we see everyday on television or in the movies. At times we think this could just be another episode of Law & Order. There’s good reason to suspect that, because director Gregory Hoblit cut his teeth on the television procedural. One of the many protégé’s of Steven Bochco, Hoblit began work on such shows as Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, and NYPD Blue. That influences is quite clearly evident in the courtroom scenes of Fracture. But, it’s also easy to see that Hoblit has grown beyond whatever limitations he had in these television dramas. He’s learned to expand his focus, leaving behind the rather cramped confines of a square television screen, and learned to widen his depth with rather inspired staging and cinematography. He’s learned to play to his casts’ strengths, and that time in television has taught him to keep a tight pace, wasting not a second that isn’t necessary to tell the story. It’s a rather impressive job of directing here.
Hopkins has been sleepwalking through parts in recent years. Like the Beachum character played by Ryan Gosling, he appears to know that most of the time he can phone in a performance and still do adequate work. It wasn’t too long ago that he announced a retirement from films that lasted all of 14 minutes. He created a film of his own in which he acted, directed, wrote, and produced called Slipstream. It was an obvious analog to flipping Hollywood the bird. There’s a lot of evidence he has become more than a little disillusioned with his chosen career. With his involvement in the upcoming Universal remake of The Wolf Man, I was very much interested to see where Hopkins was right now. So, I approached this film looking for signs that Hopkins was indeed back. I found it. It appears that the man has found his muse once again and has taken more than a passing interest in his character. His performance here reminds us why he was so compelling in roles like Silence Of The Lambs, a role he could literally sink his teeth into. Here he is the main character and carries the film with not as much screen time as you would expect.
Hoblit’s one flaw in the plot is how much time he spends on Beachum’s private life. We soon get his situation and don’t need the holiday dinner get togethers and the redundant conversations about his career. Hoblit set up the scenario perfectly. He didn’t need to keep pounding us over the head with it. He has to start to trust that the audience gets it and move on. This was time spent away from Gosling or Burke and Hopkins squaring off, which is where all the magic in this film resides. The supporting cast is fine enough, but you want to have as much time on these leads as you possibly can. It’s the only thing that separates this from those other thousands of legal procedural dramas we’ve seen.
Fracture is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The 1080p image is arrived at with a VC-1 codec. The bit rate often falls well below 15mbps. It’s not one of the better high definition images I’ve seen. It’s realistic enough and provides more detail than I suspect the DVD would provide. Still, I was a little disappointed in how average or below the presentation actually is. There are washed out scenes and some soft color reproduction throughout. On close-ups flesh tones are pretty reference. Black levels are adequate but really nothing more. This presentation could be better, and considering the Blu-ray format, should have been. Part of the problem is they saved a few cents by using a single-layer 25GB disc.
The Dolby TrueHD Audio track does a reasonably fine job. This is very much a talker, so dialog keeps this mix very much front and center. There are some nice subtle ambient moments, and the score offers a somewhat wider feel to the presentation.
Deleted and Extended Alternative Scenes: HD: There are 7 total with about a half hour running time. Most impressive is one of the two alternate endings which features a Hopkins meltdown. I rather liked that one a bit better than the one provided in the final cut of the film.
Hopkins shines here like he hasn’t in more than a decade. Hopefully he’s got that stick taken out of his behind and we can look forward to these kinds of characterizations more. It’s not that he’s any more dramatic; in fact, Hopkins works his best magic in rather subtle ways. Here he delivers his lines in a quiet manner that reveals so much more than we see on the surface. He works his eyes, which I find one of the most important aspects of some of the best out there. Without appearing very strong, Hopkins can deliver “a certain kind of strength, if you know what I mean”.

Sicilian Defense C4 continued
I'll admit: I'm an amateur. No matter how much I study openings, I am faced with playing other novices like myself who do not always play the recommended moves or the recommended move orders. While these neglected and dis-proven lines may be transparent to our more enlightened chess brethren, when faced with them in a game of live chess, we must fall back on our own logic and reinvent the wheel.
After many long ten minute games of live chess, I have concluded that some dis-proven lines are favored over others. I am relieved to say that I recognize these openings as idiosyncrasies. Now: how to proceed? Chess geniuses everywhere a have moved on from these forgotten mistakes and I must forge ahead, using my nascent chess judgment to guide me.
I'm not good. I have no right to discourse on chess, and yet, who will help us with these basic series of mis-moves, made in the dark of chess ignorance?
Okay, my opponent made some obvious blunders, like hanging his bishop. Still, this 2. bc4 line is completely standard. I find that going after it immediately with my bknight is usually the best defense.

With Melbourne post-hardcore outfit Belle Haven about to release their second album You, Me And Everything In Between, they’ve sent us the first listen of their brand new single ‘You.’ and its technicolour new clip.
With the album it’s taken from being described as “a cautionary tale” for other bands, a lot of what that ‘everything in between’ refers to involves the pitfalls that come with being a young act, and the dodgy dealings they’ve encountered along the way. On ‘You.’, the anger is palpable.
“The band has been screwed around by so many ‘professionals’ and ‘friends’ over the past few years and we’ve never really spoken out about it,” says guitarist Chris Vernon. “It’s liberating to feel like we’re finally talking about it to some degree.”
After releasing their debut Everything’s Ablaze and heading across Australia and the U.S. with rockers Norma Jean, the band wrapped up their American tour in Atlanta, Georgia, then decided to finally produce their second album there after plenty of untold drama.
As vocalist David Vernon explains, the impending release has been “a long time coming”.
“There are way too many people in the world who feel used, betrayed and manipulated on a daily basis. I hope this record can resonate with those people and inspire them to come to terms with when it’s right to burn a bridge. I’ve been there so many times and that’s the hardest part; knowing when to leave.”
With the album done and dusted, though, the band are ready to celebrate the impending release, and are heading across Australia with their new Greyscale Records labelmates Deadlights and Adelaide’s Ambleside, with a four date tour kicking off on June 2 – tickets are on sale now, and dates are below.
Until then, you can order your copy of the record here, and check out the brand new cut, ‘You.’
Belle Haven national tour
Friday 2nd June – Enigma Bar, Adelaide 18+
Saturday 3rd June – Workers Club, Melbourne 18+
Friday 9th June – Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane 18+

Your Local Scheme
Park ave, park rd & filton rd, lymington
Are scheme is made up of residents from three roads. We all know each other through holding annual street party's and closing of the road in Park Avenue for fun and games and a BBQ. We always invite the local police who comes and speaks to the residents and enjoys a cup of tea with the neighbours. We don't have regular meetings but all the residents know to come to the co-ordinator for any information or concerns, who will also pass on any concerns to the residents. We are a close neighbourhood who look out for each others properties and look out for the elderly and vulnerable that we have in our roads.

New figures published by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that almost two-thirds, or 63 per cent of councils paid out less than their total Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) allocation to tenants, leaving £13.3 million left over. In addition, around three-quarters of councils did not apply for a £20 million government top-up fund to help claimants adjust to welfare changes, leaving a further £7.1 million unspent.
The new figures also revealed that:
One in five Britons fear having to move out of their local area because of the high cost of housing, according to a new survey conducted by the Chartered Institute of Housing and Ipsos MORI.
The online poll questioned adults aged 16-75 across Great Britain, and found that 20 per cent of people agree they might have to leave neighbourhoods because of soaring housing costs.
Young people are particularly pessimistic, with more than a third (36 per cent) of 16-24-year-olds and a quarter (26 per cent) of 25-34-year-olds agreeing that they might have to move.
The European Commission has published the European Vacancy and Recruitment Report 2014, which found that low-skilled workers encounter increasing difficulties to find a job, face lower job stability and are out-competed by medium-skilled workers even in occupations with lower skills requirements. In contrast, job opportunities are growing in some high-skilled professions.
The shadow work and pensions secretary, Rachel Reeves, has announced that Labour will "pause" the build of the government's flagship welfare reform for three months to allow for a National Audit Office report on it, if it wins the next general election in 2015.
A report by parliament’s public spending watchdog, the public accounts committee has found that the government's handling of personal independence payments (PIP) has been "nothing short of a fiasco" that has caused distress to thousands of sick and disabled people.
Leaked internal documents have revealed that the government could breach its self-imposed cap on welfare spending as a result of the cost of the main sickness benefit.
The memos suggest Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) costs are rising with few cost-cutting options.
In March, MPs agreed a 2015-16 welfare cap of £119.5bn, excluding the state pension and some unemployment benefits. The Treasury said it was "confident" of remaining within the cap, saying delivery of ESA was "back on track".
The leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband has announced that under a Labour Government, young unemployed people who refuse to take training courses to gain key skills could lose benefits as part of a series of measures aimed at "making work pay".
A cross-party review of Universal Credit (UC) is being launched amid new evidence that funding for the project has been cut so severely that its original aim to provide incentives for people to get into work could be undermined.
The scheme, which has created deep cynicism as a result of technology flaws, implementation delays and Whitehall infighting, is due to be fully implemented in 2017-18 and will cover as many as eight million households.

Type :- Hill Fort
Height :- 3500 ft , 3300 ft & 3490ft (above sea level) resp.
Grade :- Medium for all.
Base village :- Junnar, Pethechi vadi, Chavand resp.
* Shivneri Fort, a birth place of Chhatrapati Shivaji (1627), is located at a distance of around 3 km from Junnar (125 km from Pune). Shahaji, father of Shivaji kept his wife Jijabai in this fort during her pregnancy, as the fort was unique and difficult to reach. It is easier to reach the fort by the normal road than to climb from the hills. One has to get through 7 doors before reaching the actual fort. This fort is a very big structure with a very good height. The old and beautiful ‘Devi Shivai’ temple is on the way. Shivaji was taken from the name of this goddess. Shivaji spent his childhood on this fort.
He acquired all the skills and training on this fort which he used while establishing Swaraj. He learnt the early lessons of Swaraj on this fort. Kaman Take, Kadelot Tok, Koli Chouthara and Dongarmatha (the top of the fort) are the other attractions near the fort.
*Hadsar Fort rises on a steep hill near the Nana pass valley eight miles north-west of Junnar and sixty miles north of Pune. The fort lies within the limits of Hadsar village at the foot of the fort. From Junnar the road to the hill lies along the valley of the Kukdi between two ranges of high hills.Fort Hadsar, also known as Parvatgad, was constructed in the Satvaahan era and was quite inhabited during that period. It is located on the outskirts of Nagar (Ahmednagar) in order to protect the trade route passing through Naneghat. Documentary evidence shows that fort Hadsar was included in the treaty made by Shahaji Raje with the Mughals in 1637. In 1818 the British forces conquered Junnar and the forts in the region.
*Chavand Fort, Medieval period Malik Ahmed founded the Nizam Dynasty in 1485. He was the first Nizamshah who acquired the fort of Chavand after the dissolution of the Bahmani Empire.The seventh Nizamshah was Second Burhanshah. His grandson Bahadurshah was imprisoned here in 1594. Bahadurshah was the nephew of Chandbibi, a renowned personality from the same period. She played an important role in helping him to achieve the throne. In 1636 Shahajiraje, father of Shivaji Maharaj, signed a treaty with the Moghals, in which the Moghals got Chavand.
Shivaji Maharaj named the fort as “Prasannagad”.
The fort Chavand is famous for its 7 water tanks. These tanks are aligned to each other. The names of these tanks are:
7. Chamunda .
On the North side of the fort, we can see man-made caves. It is said that a secret passage exists here which opens outside of the fort. This was believed to be a secret escape door. Towards the south side of the fort, we can see beautiful view of Kukadi river.Man-made caves & Temple of Goddess Chamunda other attraction of this Fort.

Sexual related conflict up in South Sudan -UNMISS
Sexual violence-related cases in the country has more than doubled in the last year, says a UNMISS report.
While the UN body noted that there has been a significant decrease in violence against civilians in South Sudan, rape and other sexual vices have been on the increase.
According to UNMISS, 63 cases of conflict-related sexual offences were reported between January to March 2022 compared to 28 recorded during the same period last year.
According to UNMISS, civil defence groups and militias accounted for the majority of violence against civilians (64 per cent), followed by conventional parties to the conflict (34 per cent). The majority of violence was associated with inter- or intra-communal forms of conflict, particularly in Jonglei, Eastern Equatoria, and Warrap states.
The report highlighted that inter-communal violence, particularly animal-related conflict, was concentrated in areas where communities compete for scarce resources exacerbated by climate change.
The 2021 floods have further contributed to food insecurity and disruption of livelihoods.
Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Nicholas Haysom, said UNMISS will step up its efforts on tackling conflict-related sexual violence in the country.
The mission supports efforts to promote protection, rule of law and accountability, through the rapid deployment of temporary operating bases, support to mobile courts, and delivering specialised training on the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence.
From January to March 2022, the Mission maintained six temporary operating bases in conflict hotspots and conducted 1,002 short distance patrols; 75 long-distance patrols and 93 air patrols.

County commissioners have decided to give restorations at the Coupeville Wharf and improvements to East Langley a lift.
The Island County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday on applications for the Rural County Economic Development Infrastructure Investment Program.
The grant program is designed to support facility projects that help create and retain jobs using money the county receives from a sales tax rebate from the state.
The largest sum of money was awarded to Langley on the condition the city’s voters approve a bond and it receives other grants for its extensive infrastructure project ambitions. The $3 million awarded will go toward infrastructure improvements to extend and improve sewer, storm water and water lines in East Langley.
The project is meant to increase density and facilitate more affordable housing development, which will support the South End’s workforce, according to the application.
Many local businesses are currently restrained from expansion because of an inability to hire enough labor, the application states.
“I really appreciated the tie-in that Langley made between the need for workforce and job creation,” Johnson said. “If you create jobs, and there’s nobody who can work in them, then you’ve actually created nothing but a need.”
Commissioners accepted the Port of Coupeville’s ask for $870,804 to go toward replacing aging and deteriorated pier pilings that support the wharf.
The port also committed $96,756 of its own funds to complete the nearly million-dollar project.
All of the commissioners spoke to the importance of preserving the historic structure, though Commissioner Jill Johnson said she hopes the port is looking at other funding opportunities.
“I do want to task the port with doing its job to maintain its own assets and to come up with a plan to do so,” Johnson said.
“I’m happy to do my part in supporting this grant,” she later added. “And I’m happy to see their continued efforts.”
Oak Harbor made two requests for this year’s funding cycle, one of which was denied and the other postponed until the city provides more information.
Commissioners notified Oak Harbor staff that they do not believe its request for more than $500,000 to provide alternative access to a parcel of land off Fakkema Road fulfills the intent of the grant program.
During presentations to the board, city staff said one business owned the land and access would potentially create two jobs.
In discussions about the project, commissioners were also concerned that the developers who would benefit most from the project weren’t bearing any of the costs of the road.
Oak Harbor also submitted an application for $630,000 to purchase and develop a dry-boat storage facility at the marina. The city also proposed re-establishing the service and maintenance aspect of the business to increase service options available at the marina.
The commissioners asked the city to provide a business plan and appraisal of the facility by Oct. 31.
