Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court took a significant step toward restoring individual liberty for all government employees, including faculty in public universities and colleges, with its decision in Janus v. AFSCME. Faculty members will no longer be forced to pay any labor union any fee for any purpose as a condition of continued government employment.
Janus overturned the Court’s 1977 decision in Abood v. Board of Education against which I and thousands of fellow liberty-loving public higher education faculty have long struggled. Abood prohibited unions from charging faculty for their explicit political advocacy but permitted them to charge faculty for their activities as exclusive bargaining agents, even if the individual wanted no such representation. The Janus Court ruled that all such activities are inherently political so mandatory charges to pay for them violate the First Amendment.
I feel vindicated by Janus; and, to the extent that the decision weakens the influence of faculty unions, it gives me hope that higher education may gradually turn back to academic inquiry and away from the herd pursuit of political correctness. Aristotle said, “Hope is a waking dream.” I have such a dream.

Red Bazar formed in 2007 as an instrumental trio featuring Andy Wilson on guitar, Paul Comerie on drums and Mick Wilson on bass and keyboards. The line-up released two albums, ‘Connections’ and ‘Differential Being’, and a three track EP, ‘Beyond The Ice Storm’. The releases were well received by audiences and critics alike and the band developed a reputation for their live performances.
To expand on the sound, the band recruited keyboard player Gary Marsh and soon after teamed up with singer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Jones. This line up released the first Red Bazar vocal album, ‘Tales From The Bookcase’. The album was voted runner up in the Classic Rock Society album of the year awards 2016 and appeared in a number of top 10 album listings including magazines, radio stations and internet sites. Progressive Aspect reported ‘Red Bazar may just have released one of the Prog albums of the year’
The band played a large number of gigs throughout 2016 and 2017 and featured on a number of festivals and continued to develop their live performance and show.
2019 saw the release of the latest album ‘Things As They Appear’ which the band followed up with a series of gigs throughout the first part of the year. The album has retained the bands prog foundations but added a more direct and rockier sound which has broadened the fan base. Both the album and the live shows have received high praise.
November 2020 saw the release of a live DVD filmed at the album launch of ‘Things As They Appear’ at the Borderij in the Netherlands. The band is currently writing new tracks for the next album which will be released later in 2021.
Viriditas are a Hampshire based progressive rock band founded by composer Mike Bridge. The band is comprised of professional musicians with an extensive breadth of live performance experience, bringing exciting and dynamic performances of the intricate and challenging music that Viriditas produces.
Individually the band members come from a variety of musical backgrounds including Jazz, Metal, Electronica and Rock & Blues. Tied together by Mike’s progressive vision for Viriditas, this diversity brings a true fusion of different playing styles to the band’s live performances.
If the music could be accurately described with one word it would be ‘dynamic’. There are moments of grandeur, contemplation, chaos and mystery, but the music is always changing and evolving, taking inspiration from not only classic progressive acts such as Genesis, Renaissance and Rush, but bands across the whole spectrum of contemporary music, Magnum, Loreena McKennit, Steely Dan and Blind Guardian to name a few. The resulting music is a melting pot of ideas, formed into a compelling narrative that will leave you wanting to hear more.
Viriditas will be performing at RADAR festival in the summer of 2021, and will be playing a few shows later in the year to coincide with the release of their second album ‘Green Mars’.

It's a Tuesday night at The Lost Leaf in downtown Phoenix. The bar's small dance floor is packed with dancers; one girl in a flowery dress does the typical hippie dance, arms flailing in the air, while one guy emphatically skanks about the room.
DJ Smite is on the turntables, pulling platters from a stack of 45s, and DJ One Peso is manipulating the soundboard. On the mic is Tony Culture, whose dreads bounce as his voice echoes through the reverb and delay that Peso is dialing up. Culture is imposingly tall, and only the soft touches of gray in his beard betray his age.
Several months later, sitting at a table in Carly's Bistro, next to Afida's Hair Culture, the salon his wife runs, Culture says that this is called "Sound System."
"[There's] three of us," he says sipping a Session Red. "A selector, an engineer, and me on the mic. One guy is picking out the songs to play, one guy who be tweaking the sounds, and I would be on the mic, hyping up the people, MCing between songs.
"You would play the original record — using 45s — then flip it over to the version side, because most songs had alternate versions. Then I would DJ over the version side, freestyle, you know?
"It's kind of a lost part of the art, because very few of us are doing it that way," Culture says. At least once a month, The Hot Plate, hosted bi-weekly at The Lost Leaf by DJ Smite, features Culture and other DJs, including Organic, One Peso, and Johnny D spinning reggae in all its many forms, including dancehall, roots, rocksteady, and dub (the crew calls this night "The Ital Plate" — Ital being a Rastafari term for "spiritually sustaining food.")
"Those are my roots, I love it, and I can still go there," says Culture of Sound System-style performing. "I guess that's what makes me a little bit different than, say, your average singer/performer. They have to have a band, but I could come in, and just drop it like I've been doing."
Growing up in Jamaica, Culture first experienced live reggae this way. Makeshift Sound Systems were popular in rural areas, offering a chance for young people like Culture to hear roots sounds firsthand, where performers weren't reliant on drums, guitars, keyboards, and amplifiers to create spontaneous music.
Culture came of age loving a diverse range of styles — not limiting himself to the Studio 1 and "lovers rock" that he describes as his favorite. "One of my favorites of all time is Janis Joplin. Bob Dylan is an awesome, awesome writer," he says, listing R&B, rock 'n' roll, and soul as styles he loves.
Growing up, Culture didn't distinguish between those genres and reggae, and he says that the reggae artists of the time borrowed from American music they heard on Miami radio in the 1960s.
"They were influenced by artists that were coming through, James Brown [and artists like that]. It rubbed off; it's natural that it would come out through their music. Same goes for me, as well. Growing up, you get that kind of music in Jamaica on the radio station all the time, especially on Sundays. In my early youth, I thought it was all from Jamaica — I didn't know any different," he says, laughing.
Culture has been performing reggae and DJing for more than 30 years, but he didn't start actually creating music until after he left Jamaica.
"I would have liked to have started [working on music] in Jamaica, but at that time, it wasn't easy to get to the studio or get recording," he says. "We didn't have someone who, like, could get in. It freed up more in '78; but I missed that boat because I left in '77. I went to the East Coast, so the bulk of my early music was on the East Coast, in Baltimore. So in Baltimore, if you say Tony Culture, everybody knows me," he says.
(Sure enough, as this interview concluded, a patron of the bar came over and introduced himself as being from Maryland, and informed Culture that he had seen him perform with the group Jah Works, a group Culture collaborates with several times a year on the East Coast.)
"The East Coast has a big Caribbean infusion of people. The East Coast American people were exposed to it, because so many shows were coming through there, and radio stations, and all the Sound Systems. I used to make cassettes and give them out to people to get the music going," he says of his mixtape guerrilla marketing.
"I got kind of tired of the snow," he says with a smile, about coming to Arizona "10-plus years ago."
"Well, the wife that came with me at the time, unfortunately, we divorced," he says with a self-deprecating grin. "But a couple of years later, I met my [current] wife, Afida — and a few years ago, she decided to open Afida's Hair Culture."
The downtown salon has offered Culture something unique, a specific venue to spin reggae each First Friday. Anyone who has ever walked Roosevelt Row has no doubt seen and heard him, spinning tracks and chatting with passersby, but Culture is hardly stationary. He performs at Valley clubs like The Lost Leaf and The Sail Inn, both as an MC and DJ and with a live band.
His 2003 album, Chant, showcases his live sound, a mix of dancehall bangers with a distinct hip-hop edge, similar to Yellowman and Buju Banton. "West Word Ho!" is digital reggae at its best, with dub accents in the verses, "Fresh Girls Dem" features a more pop-oriented approach, and "Meaning of Life" is a traditional slow jam. He says his next album will be available soon ("just doing some tweaks on it") through Livity Music, the website he is launching.
According to Culture, reggae in Phoenix has always been a hodgepodge community.
"It has gone through some upheavals. At the moment, the people are here for it, but they are spread out. And it's hard to get to them a lot of times. One of the main factors lacking is that we don't have a radio station. We need that to reach a lot more people, but [overall] it's good."
But for Culture, the music serves a specific purpose regardless of who does, or doesn't, hear it. "I'm a spiritual person," he says, describing himself as a "Rasta witness."
"It's one of those things where, if you talk to many artists about [targeting their music to a mainstream audience], there are few who have been able to resist the temptation to do that. I have had opportunities in my earlier days, where I didn't want to do that, because of that fact," he says.
"You can find some artists who are talented and are professional, but they are not mainstream. At the end of the day, when I don't have to cringe when I hear my song played, that's enough."

About the area
Most people associate Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands with the legend of Robin Hood, though the former royal hunting ground of Sherwood Forest has been somewhat tamed since Robin’s outlaw days. Traditionally, the county’s primary industry, alongside agriculture, was coal mining but it is also an oil producing area, and during World War II produced the only oil out of reach of the German U-Boats.
The county is divided between the old coalfields north of the city of Nottingham, the commuter belt of the Wolds to the south, Sherwood Forest and the great country estates known as the ‘Dukeries’. Towns of note are the river port and market town of Newark, which hosts major antiques fairs six times a year, and Southwell, known for the medieval minster with exquisite carvings of Sherwood Forest.
D H Lawrence was a Nottinghamshire man, born in Eastwood, the son of a miner and former schoolteacher. He grew up in poverty, and his book Sons and Lovers reflects the experiences of his early years. Other Nottinghamshire notables include Thomas Cranmer, the first Protestant Archbishop; Jesse Boot, founder of the Boots pharmaceutical company; Henry Ireton, the man who singed Charles I’s death warrant; and Olympic skaters Torvill and Dean.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. One unique and intriguing ingredient utilized in TCM is Pearl Powder. This article aims to explore the historical significance of Pearl Powder and its role in traditional Chinese medicine practices.
Pearl Powder, known as “Zhen Zhu Fen” in Chinese, has been used for centuries in TCM. It is derived from freshwater or saltwater pearls, which undergo a meticulous preparation process. The pearls are ground into a fine powder, which is then used in various medicinal and cosmetic applications.
In TCM, Pearl Powder is revered for its cooling and calming properties. It is believed to nourish the yin, or feminine energy, and promote balance within the body. Historically, it has been used to address conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, and palpitations. Additionally, Pearl Powder is often utilized to enhance beauty, improve skin complexion, and promote anti-aging effects.
Pearl Powder is renowned in TCM for its potential benefits to the skin. Rich in amino acids, minerals, and trace elements, it is believed to promote a youthful complexion and enhance the skin’s natural radiance. Historical texts suggest that its application can help minimize the appearance of blemishes, acne scars, and dark spots. It is often used in masks, creams, and facial toners to revitalize the skin.
Historical records also indicate that Pearl Powder possesses anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used topically to alleviate skin inflammation, soothe irritation, and accelerate wound healing. Its medicinal properties are believed to enhance the body’s ability to regenerate damaged skin cells and promote overall skin health.
While the historical significance of Pearl Powder in TCM is well-documented, scientific research into its therapeutic properties is still ongoing. Preliminary studies have shown that Pearl Powder contains potent antioxidants, antimicrobial agents, and compounds that may enhance collagen production. Such findings suggest its potential application in modern medicine and skincare.
Pearl Powder occupies a unique place in the traditional Chinese medicine system. Its historical significance lies in its use for promoting skin health, its beauty-enhancing properties, and its potential benefits for various ailments. While the ancient wisdom surrounding this exquisite natural ingredient is captivating, further research is needed to fully understand and validate its therapeutic effects. As modern science continues to explore the potential of Pearl Powder, it may find new applications in skincare, wound healing, and overall wellness.

Planting corn after a crop of canola is generally not recommended, and the reason why has to do with beneficial fungi living in the soil. However, some studies and anecdotal experience in Ontario have shown that this rotation is not always problematic.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)
Many crops we grow, including corn, have a symbiotic relationship with AMF in the soil. AMF colonize plant roots and form an extensive network of hyphae (thread-like filaments) that transports nutrients to the plant. The hyphae explore much more soil volume than plant root systems can, and mycorrhizal plants can absorb more phosphorous at lower concentrations in soil solution than nonmycorrhizal plants. In exchange for this vast nutrient highway, AMF depend on plants for their carbon nutrition. AMF are abundant in most soils, although cropping practices such as tillage and rotation can impact their associations with crops.
Corn seedlings have small root systems and utilize AMF to explore more of the soil to obtain adequate phosphorous to satisfy early demand. Phosphorous (P) is not very mobile in soils and in the absence of AMF, corn seedlings may exhibit P deficiency; seedlings may be short with weak stalks and may be a darker shade of green or purple in colour. Typically, the main issue is delayed corn growth (Figure 1). Flax is another crop highly dependant on AMF.
Canola, like all Brassica plants (e.g. cabbage, broccoli, mustard), is nonmycorrhizal and does not utilize or host AMF. After a crop of canola, AMF networks in the soil will be reduced and the fungi have to re-colonize from spores (reproductive cells), which can take about 50 days in the presence of a host. This is the key reason why corn after canola is not recommended. Other nonmycorrhizal plants include sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) and common lambsquarters from the Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae family.
Examples of Success and Failure
Deb Campbell, CCA with Agronomy Advantage Inc, has described seeing severely stunted corn following spring canola on 4 or 5 occasions. In these cases, the producers did not consider potential P deficiency or apply fertilizer to compensate for low AMF function. The worst case was corn following cabbage, where the field had high soil P levels but starter P was not applied with the corn.
Ryan Benjamins, CCA with Benjamins Agronomy Services, works with sugarbeet growers who are well aware of the risks of this rotation but are making it work. Most have access to manure and have high soil test P levels. Others ensure they broadcast a strong rate of P ahead of the corn and include about 13 lbs of P2O5/ac in furrow. They have sometimes noted delayed growth and purple colouring of seedlings which suggests P deficiency, but there is typically no yield loss associated with the rotation in Ryan’s experience. He did note that there may be differences in corn hybrid response.
With winter canola, there is ample opportunity to grow another crop after canola harvest. Oats are highly mycorrhizal and are the top recommended cover crop choice, but many crops and weeds support AMF. Soybeans are mycorrhizal but not as highly reliant on AMF, so this rotational crop works well for those interested in double cropping. One winter canola grower has had their highest yielding corn in rotation after canola, but most years there were double-cropped soybeans in between. These fields have sandy loam soils, high soil test P levels, and starter P fertilizer in furrow at corn planting. The grower also offered the reminder you will always have volunteer canola after harvest, and it may need to be controlled to establish a cover crop.
What is unclear with winter canola rotations, is if you can successfully grow corn in the spring if canola is winterkilled. Generally speaking, John Heard, soil specialist with Manitoba Ag, feels that high soil P levels and starter P fertilizer have reduced our reliance on AMF in corn. Studies in Manitoba conducted by Dr. Don Flaten and Magda Rogalsky have shown that starter P narrows the yield and maturity penalty of corn grown after canola. Starter P treatments increased corn maturity in 2 of 3 years and increased corn biomass, with the greatest response in corn after canola. In these trials there was a 10% increase in corn grain yield where MAP (monoammonium phosphate) was banded at a rate of 53 lbs P2O5/ac, regardless of the crop rotation.
There are few examples in the literature of corn planted directly after terminating canola. In a weed control study in Indiana, published in 2020, winter canola seeded in September and terminated 2 weeks prior to planting corn did not decrease corn grain yield compared to fallow (fallow from September to spring) but there was no information on soil P levels or starter fertilizer. In a corn silage study conducted in the late 1990s in British Columbia, where corn followed corn, canola or summer fallow, the effect of previous crop on silage yield was greater for unfertilized corn compared to corn with P side banded at 60 lbs of P2O5/ac. Silage yields were similar following summer fallow and canola (note that fallow fields may also have low AMF), and in one year yields were lower after canola than they were in the corn-on-corn rotation.
The safest recommendation is to not plant corn after a Brassica crop because of the risk of P deficiency and delayed corn growth. If possible, grow something else between canola and corn to help re-establish AMF. It is difficult to know what conditions and management practices will completely mitigate this rotational issue, but high soil test P levels and starter P in furrow or banded beside the corn seed will likely support early corn growth.
AMF Fun Facts:
- hyphae can extend more than 10 cm from root surfaces, which is 100x further than most root hairs
- hyphae can access smaller soil pores than roots + root hairs because they have a smaller radius (0.005 mm vs 0.15 mm)
- the volume of soil explored by roots with mycorrhizal associations can be up to 100x greater than nonmycorrhizal roots

Tattoos become real symbols, multifaceted and profound. It is possible to apply just one drawing, making a sacred meaning in it, to completely change your image, style. The ability to understand these symbolic meanings of images on the body will definitely come in handy in life. It helps in communication. Besides, having read about the essence of various tattoos, you will manage to pick up and yourself the most suitable drawing.
Today we will learn about the essence of the tattoo with a vulture. A special bird, unusual and memorable, is quite widespread among connoisseurs of tattoos. And the semantic layers, the symbolism of the image go back to antiquity. The time has come to find out what is so remarkable about the vulture.
What is blackwork?
Currently, blackwork is a very popular and most popular style of tattooing. Its name itself already says that most of the area of the figure is black. The introduction of other colors is allowed in the form of small elements. Blackwork has no affiliation to gender. This style is suitable for both men and women. The drawing, if desired, can be applied to any part of the body. Such tattoos are often used to hide a skin defect or an old tattoo that has lost its relevance.

The Government has made some changes in the family pension rules for Central Government Employees due to the ongoing COVID pandemic.
The provisional family pension scheme can be used in case of death that happens during the pandemic either because of COVID or because of a non-COVID reason.
Without waiting for other formalities or procedural requirements to be completed Pandemic provisional family pension will be sanctioned immediately as and when a claim comes for family pension and death certificate from the eligible family members is produced as per the recent reform undertaken by the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare (DoPPW) during the COVID-19.
Previously, under Rule 80 (A) of the CCS (Pension) Rules 1972, the provisional family pension on death of the government servant during service could be sanctioned to the eligible member of the family only after the family pension was forwarded to the Pay and Accounts Office (PAO).
However, the new changes have brought at least some relief to the people eligible for this scheme.

Infatuation can scramble your senses. No one understood this better than Belle de Jour director Luis Buñuel, whose dreamlike final film, That Obscure Object of Desire, is now out on a radiant, rich Blu-ray. The French Connection?s Fernando Rey stars as a wealthy French widower who falls madly in love with his young Spanish maid. He?s so smitten, in fact, that he doesn?t notice that she?s played by two different actresses (Carole Bouquet and Ángela Molina). One teases him, one tortures him, both turn him into a sexually frustrated wreck. Sure, it?s a stunt. But it?s an effective one. A?

Cruisers Yachts has taken a fresh approach to the design of its new 470 Sports Coupe.
The boatbuilder turned to attendees and exhibitors at the Miami International Boat Show for input on the new model, allowing them to vote for one of four designs on display at the Cruisers booth.
"We had a 470 project that we had on track to introduce two years ago," says Jon Viestenz, new product and regional sales manager for the company. "But when the economy went downhill, the whole project was put on hold."
Oconto, Wis.-based Cruisers Yachts builds a line of 13 power cruisers from 30 to 56 feet, and Viestenz says the 460 Express - introduced five years ago - was showing its age. "People today want more amenities and more space to move around," he says. "That design simply didn't provide enough of that."
Viestenz says the four 470 Sports Coupe designs are very close, with slight variations in the lines and the shape of the windshield, but all feature more headroom and a sleeker look than the 460. "We had about 80 to 100 people polled, from retail customers to dealers," he says. "One of the designs on display was one we thought we were going to go with two years ago."
One of the design options featured narrower windows for an edgier look, but the public decided improved visibility trumps aesthetics. Voters also opted for a walkthrough windshield for easier access to the foredeck.
"We wanted to hear what people want," says Viestenz. "Then people's interests would help guide us, and that's what we wanted. I think we accomplished that."
Viestenz says the final design will not significantly change initial estimates for the overall cost of the project in terms of materials and labor. "We will have options for the vessel that people can add," he says. "For instance, some people told us they wanted a solid door separating the cockpit from the aft deck, while our original design didn't call for that." Other options include color themes for the interior, such as darker wood or fabrics.
Standard power for the 470 Sports Coupe is a diesel Volvo Penta IPS setup, with twin 600-hp IPS800 pod drives. Viestenz says Cruisers hopes to have a prototype for the 2011 model year by the end of July. The 460 Express will eventually be phased out, he says.

This route is generally suited for a 2-day hike, however, it can be done in one day (approx. in 12-14 hours) by hikers in good physical condition carrying light backpacks. If you decide to do so, expect it to be extremely exhausting.
For a 1-day hike, it is strongly recommended to start the loop from the eastern (Shovi) side as it includes a very steep approach to Geske Pass which should be easier on the way up rather than on the way down. In additon to that, a great part of the eastern side of the route is not prominent which will make it hard to navigate on the way down to the forest (basically, the trail does not exist anymore in some parts of the route on the east so you just have to follow the direction).

Delivering a wave of rapid improvement challenges
We delivered a wave of rapid improvement challenges in elective care specialties across the North Region.
In response to the continued operational pressures in elective care and following the success of the national 100-day challenges, NHS England commissioned MLCSU’s Improvement Unit to deliver a wave of specialty-based rapid improvement challenges across the North Region.
The Improvement Unit supported eight healthcare sites/systems to utilise the 100-Day Challenge methodology to drive rapid improvement in specific elective care specialities. We did this by:
- Providing hands-on coaching and facilitation support to each site during the development and delivery phases, bringing leaders and frontline staff together to test ideas
- Facilitating a series of local and regional collaborative events to guide sites through tools to help them identify, develop, test and monitor improvements
- Providing dedicated ongoing coaching support to local site leads to ensure the progress and success of the activities
- Supporting the development and delivery of local sustainability plans for each initiative to ensure improvements
- Programme evaluation, including training and support for the development of case studies and social media materials for local sites, impact analysis and production of a final report.
The Improvement Unit offered additional project management support, coaching and facilitation where it was required and adopted a collaborative approach to all events; using practical workshops to support localities to achieve their goals.
- One system looking at the spinal MSK pathway saw Physio First referrals increase threefold in pilot practices, leading to fewer referrals to secondary care
- Paediatric Ophthalmology Did Not Attend rates reduced by 4 per cent with follow-up DNA rate down by 9.1 per cent in one month with one pilot trust
- The same trust also successfully trialled a Virtual Glaucoma Clinic with 41 per cent of suspected glaucoma patients discharged back into the community
- A trust working on ‘cold’ site utilisation reported no patient cancellations, improved patient experience, improved referral to treatment (RTT) performance and cost avoidance of £226,800 as a result of transferring more elective care activity to the cold site
- Another trust saved 15.66 bed days in one month as a result of a successful move for urology patients undergoing trial without catheter in an outpatient setting, another 25 patients (in one week) had their pre-op via telephone on the same day as being listed for surgery, reducing gaps in theatre lists and improving patient experience.
“It has been great to see the impact this approach has had. It has acted as a catalyst to other larger change programmes.”
“Great change approach; spread & adoption at scale.”

Tomographic investigation of the effects of second phases on the biodegradation and nano-mechanical performance of a Mg–Zn–Ca alloy
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review
Colleges, School and Institutes
A combination of 3D tomography techniques provides direct evidence that links the phase assemblage to the bio-corrosion behaviour of a magnesium–zinc–calcium (Mg–Zn–Ca) alloy. The true shape, connectivity and volume fraction of the components have been determined using focused ion beam (FIB) tomography. The mechanism of the effect of the components with different morphologies on biodegradation was studied with the help of FIB. Micro X-ray CT (MicroCT) was used to investigate the degradation of the magnesium (Mg) alloys after 10 days’ immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). Furthermore, the second phases affect the mechanical performance of the alloys. Nanoindentation was used to evaluate the nanohardness and elastic modulus of the (α-Mg + Ca 2 Mg 6 Zn 3 ) eutectic products. The amount of second phase, however, is the key controlling factor in the bio-corrosion behaviour: any effect of configuration is undetectable.

Named Heartlands Park, the 7.5ha site near the former mining town of Pool has been designed to showcase how parks can run self-sufficiently.
As much energy will be created as is expended by the park as wind turbines, photovoltaic (solar) panels and geothermal technology, which uses heat that comes from the earth, would be employed to generate electricity.
Heartlands has also been designed to celebrate Cornwall’s mining heritage as it would be built around Robinson’s Shaft — the last operating tin mine in Europe.
London-based Land Use Consultants, which was the landscape architect for Cornwall’s Eden Project, created the master-plan for the designs after winning a competition run last year by the Landscape Institute. Its designs include a museum on the history of mining and a series of gardens, named Diaspora Gardens, which will feature plants from the countries influenced by Cornish emigration — such as Chile, New Zealand and South Africa.
Senior landscape architect Martin Commane said: “The level of community involvement has been really high.
“We had numerous workshops with local residents to come up with the proposals to ensure that this project will benefit future generations. We are hoping that it will have a major impact on the social and economic regeneration of the local area.”
Hopes that Heartlands will go ahead are high as the project is one of nine known to have made the shortlist last week of the Big Lottery Fund’s Living Landmarks programme. Originally some 23 teams from all over Britain entered the contest to win funding of between £10m and £25m. Heartlands project manager at Kerrier District Council in Cornwall Scott James said: “We’re really hopeful now that we are down to the last nine. These projects are all of a high quality but the Heartlands Project would transform a deprived urban area of Cornwall in need of improvement.
“There’s been nothing else to date which this area has had to kick off its redevelopment.”
Around 22,000 new jobs will be created within Pool if the plans go ahead. Many jobs were lost in the area during the 1980s and 1990s when Cornwall’s tin and copper mines shut down.

Senate Passes Bill to Withhold Support From Parents' Checks
A federally mandated bill to require child support payments to be withheld from paychecks of parents whose children receive welfare assistance was passed by the Oklahoma Senate Monday.
The measure, Senate Bill 291, would apply, beginning in 1990, to people who should be paying child support to former spouses receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC).
It is required by the federal Family Support Act of 1988, said Sen. Bernest Cain, D-Oklahoma City.
Cain said that the federal government pays about 67 percent of the AFDC payments and is trying to cut welfare costs by requiring better collection of child support.
He said more than $500 million in federal money coming to Oklahoma for programs administered by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services could be in jeopardy if the state doesn't improve its methods of collecting child support.
Oklahoma is among seven states with the worst record for collecting support from fathers whose ex-wives get AFDC, Cain said.
In Oklahoma, many children who benefit from AFDC have fathers who aren't paying support, Cain said.
Requiring those fathers to pay some support for their children results in the federal and state government paying less in public assistance for those children, Cain said. BIOG: NAME:

East Side Pizza Shop Robbed at Gunpoint
Tuesday July 5th, 2011
Posted at 1:49pm
Hello time traveller!!
This article is 2784 days old.
The information listed below is likely outdated and has been preserved for archival purposes.
Windsor Police are searching for a suspect after an east side Pizzeria was robbed at gunpoint late last night. At 10:50 p.m. on Monday, July 4, 2011, police were called to the Pizzeria in the 4300 block of Seminole St. for a report of a robbery that had just occurred.
The 51 year old owner of the business said that she had been working in the kitchen of the business when she heard the door buzzer indicating that someone had entered the store. She exited the kitchen and observed a man standing at the counter. As the owner approached the counter, the suspect pointed a black handgun at the owner and demanded the money from the cash register. The woman was unable to see the suspect’s face as it was covered by a red bandana over the lower part of his face. The victim placed the cash register tray on the counter and the suspect grabbed the money placing it into a white plastic bag. The suspect fled from the store on foot out the front door with a quantity of cash in an unknown direction of travel. The victim was not physically injured during the robbery.
The suspect is described as a white male, between 18-20 years, 6’1″, skinny build. he was wearing a black baseball cap on backward, a red bandana over the lower half of his face, a white T shirt and red long basketball shorts past his knees. The suspect was also in possession of a large black handgun.
Anyone with any information regarding this robbery is asked to call Windsor Police Investigations at 519-255-6700 ext 4830 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 519-258-TIPS(8477).

"I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco," Pelosi said, suddenly speaking quietly. "This kind of rhetoric was very frightening" and created a climate in which violence took place, she said.
Former San Francisco Supervisor Dan White was convicted of the 1978 murders of Mayor George Moscone and openly gay supervisor Harvey Milk. Gay rights activists and some others at the time saw a link between the assassinations and the violent debate over gay rights that had preceded them for years.
During a rambling confession, White was quoted as saying, "I saw the city as going kind of downhill." His lawyers argued that he was mentally ill at the time. White committed suicide in 1985.
Pelosi is part of a generation of California Democrats on whom the assassinations had a searing effect. A resident of San Fransisco, Pelosi had been a Democratic activist for years and knew Milk and Moscone. At the time of their murders, she was serving as chairwoman of her party in the northern part of the state.
On Thursday, Pelosi was answering a question about whether the current vitriol concerned her. The questioner did not refer to the murders of Milk or Moscone, or the turmoil in San Francisco three decades ago. Pelosi referenced those events on her own and grew uncharacteristically emotional.
"I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made," Pelosi said. Some of the people hearing the message "are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume," she said.
"Our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe," she added. "But I also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause."
Pelosi's office did not immediately respond to a request for examples of contemporary statements that reminded the speaker of the rhetoric of 1970s San Francisco.
The public anger during health care town hall meetings in August spilled into the House last week when South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" at Obama, the nation's first black president, during his speech. On a largely party-line vote, the House reprimanded Wilson.

The government has announced details about the upcoming Phase 4 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS).
The £1.17 billion funding allocated for public sector decarbonisation will follow a profile of £670 million in 2025/26, £300m in 2026/27 and £200m in 2027/28.
Up to £335 million for 2025/26 is being awarded in grants for the second year of Phase 3c. Salix is currently allocating this funding and Grant Offer Letters are now being distributed.
While most of the remaining funding will be allocated to Phase 4, a proportion will be allotted to the Trailblazer deals with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the West Midlands Combined Authority.
As in Phase 3, applicants will be encouraged to make their own choice as to whether they will want to apply for funding across a single or multiple financial years to deliver their projects.
What is different this time?
One of the biggest differences for Phase 4 will be the grant allocation process.
While applications for Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the scheme have been awarded grants in the order in which they were received, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has confirmed that applications received under Phase 4 will be assessed through a targeted allocation process.
According to Salix, this means funding will be allocated towards projects delivering the best value for money with the most direct carbon emission reductions.
The sector cap system, which is set to ensure a proportionate distribution of funds across different sectors of the public estate, will remain in place.
Salix expects to publish the Phase 4 Guidance Notes during summer 2024. These notes will be accompanied by terms and conditions, application walkthrough videos and other information.
More information about this announcement is available on the Salix website.

Soaring temperatures are still forecast but… Summer is officially over! Returning to school from an exciting summer can cause angst in children and their parents. It is back to resuming bed time hours, making lunches, doing homework, school activities and more. Plus, your child will have a new teacher, meet new friends and may be transitioning to a new school. Going back-to-school does not have to be stressful. It’s yoga to the rescue.
A 2003 study by California State University, Los Angeles found that Yoga improved students’ behavior, physical health and academic performance. Plus, bolstering self-esteem. Consummating a yoga program for your child or teenager will provide them with tools that are life changing and everlasting. The entire family benefits including the parents. It is an activity that parents can share and enjoy with their children. When yoga is involved as a family it fosters a healthier bond.
A child’s concentration and self-esteem can be taken to new levels by teaching them they can achieve greatness on their mat. Also, learning to partake in the present rather than compressing everything. This will help your child remain engaged and focused while cultivating peacefulness. We have often had our child take a nap to achieve this awareness yet yoga has been known to have similar effects. Practicing yoga is a healthy alternative and outlet for stress management, encouraging creativity and piquing the imagination. The peer social interaction teaches children that we are all the same inside regardless of what we look like on the outside. We are living beings that feel and love. Yoga can inspire children to be patient, kind, accepting and respectful of others and self. As a child grows they can learn more about their personal body awareness. A child will recognize their strengths and how the body moves. The practice also encourages discipline and responsibility.
Try a few youthful poses with your children. It may allow you to feel like a kid again. Many of the yoga poses are inspired by animal names or by things you would find in nature. Take for instance; Tree pose or cat/cow.
Tree pose: Stand on one foot, resting the other foot just above or below the knee. Stay rooted through the standing leg while reaching arms overhead. Turn this into “Windy Tree” pose by slowly moving your arms, as though they were branches in the wind; or try “Tree at Night” by attempting to close your eyes and stay balanced!
Cat/Cow: Position yourself on your mat on all fours like a cat or cow. Begin to round your spine to resemble a scared cat. Draw your chin in towards your chest. Transition to cow by uncurving the spine. Flatten the spine and transition to a slight arch in the lower back, tilt your head back and lengthen your chin to the sky. To make the pose more playful, make cat and cow sounds.
If you desire to try something new or are seeking an activity to do together, yoga may be an exceptional choice. You will be pleasantly surprised how calming yet invigorating this activity is in a family environment.

“Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful
With both feet on the ground”
While in the media images of young love abound, far away from the blogosphere there are many instances of aging boomers finding love and happiness later in life. And for many, the ideal engagement setting is an antique diamond engagement ring.
A vintage engagement setting is a symbolic reference to their parents’ love, as well as a concrete image of permanence.
Certainly mature couples have more money to spend than their youthful counterparts, and antique ring settings are not only appealing, but also resonate on a deeper, more meaningful level.
Antique Engagement Rings Antique Diamond Rings Model 10696 “Here is the love that will sustain me for years.”
While younger couples need that solitaire ring as an affirmation and to show to their friends, more mature couples need satisfy no one but themselves and may enjoy a substantial antique ring setting regardless of fashion.
In addition to a newfound freedom from shoulds, couples can expect their weddings to be more fun, filled with invitees they really want, as well as the ones they must have!
Antique diamond engagement rings can function both as a symbol of renewal and also of continuity of tradition. Vintage diamond jewelry can be a tangible affirmation of one’s connection to the basic beliefs and practices which root us to our community.

Tiny Forest is a movement bringing native woodland to urban areas. Brought to the UK by Earthwatch Europe, these tennis-court sized forests reconnect people with nature and support urban wildlife. Tiny Forests are areas where local schools can come and learn about the environment, and where communities can work together to nurture their own green space. Earthwatch Europe will also work with communities to collect scientific and social data to research how these pockets of native woodland can be part of the fight against climate change and enhance our wellbeing.
However, before a Tiny Forest can be planted, Continental Landscapes works closely with Earthwatch all over the UK, right from the initial site selection stage. Continental have made 11 Tiny Forests a reality with Earthwatch Europe so far, and are planning to work on over 20 more during the 2021-22 planting season. So what happens before a Tiny Forest is ready for the community to enjoy?
Before communities can plant a Tiny Forest, Continental Landscapes:
- make sure that there is no existing underground infrastructure are no cables that will be disrupted by the planting
- dig test pits to check the soil conditions
- prepare the soil by excavating the tennis-court sized area to a depth of 1 metre. They then add the soil back in while loosening it and mix in additional soil supplements to help the trees establish.
COVID-19 restrictions meant Earthwatch couldn’t bring together many members of the community to plant the 600 native trees that make up a Tiny Forest at most of our 2020-21 sites. This is where Continental stepped in! They planted the trees and spread a mulch layer – and when volunteers could join in, they got involved with the community as well.
After planting day, some final touches need adding so that communities can really make the most of their Tiny Forest. To make this happen, Continental Landscapes:
- create outdoor classroom areas with woodchip and wooden benches
- add woodchip paths through the Tiny Forests
- install commemorative plaques
- supply and install ‘biodiversity tiles’ – these are tiles that can be lifted up so visitors can see the wildlife making themselves at home!
- supply and install fencing
It’s set to be a very busy planting season for 2021-22, and Continental will be there with Earthwatch Europe and local communities every step of the way!

Sorry I've not posted this week. I decided to make header hangers for all my ribbon to get them out of the drawer and hung up where I could see them. It's turned into a marathon, I didn't realise how many ribbons I had until I started. I have managed to make twoo birthday cards I needed this week. I used house mouse stamps from Joanna Sheen. I think they are so cute.
I have had my grandaughter all day, we have had a lovely time with a glue stick, some cut out pictures, some pompoms, two new rubber stamps and ink. She went home clutch 4 Aa pictures she had made all by herself. She's only two but she's very good with a glue stick and at stamping. I am exhausted and feel ready for bed and it's only 8 o'clock. I'm more unfit than I thought. I'm off for a couple of bicardi's I think.
This week I decided that as I was so late last year making my christmas cards, I would start now and try to make a few each week. So here is my first Christmas in July. I'm afraid it was very hard to photograph because of the glitter. It was a Jayne Nestorenko's mouse stamp , I stamped it coloured it then glittered over it. I used a new die cut frame and added it inside. Distressed the card around the edge with Pine needles DI.
Here's another card using the same Lllli of the Valley stamp I borrowed last week. This time I used Turquiose and cerise as my colour scheme. I used promakers ,liquid pearls for buttons, glitter and tiny crystals on her ribbons. I also used a die for the flower. Sorry my camera skills are not very good today.
Hi everyone thought I'd share with you a card I've made called Lillibean Fairies they are digi stamps I have not tried these before. But I'm quite pleased how they printed out and coloured ok. I've used my pro markers again. They are so easy to carry to work and colour in my lunchbreak. I hope you all have something nice planned for the weekend. I have my grandaughter all day tomorrow and Sunday I'm off to a Christening.
Today I've used a Lili of the valley image. My friend let me use her stamps the other week to stamp alot of cutie images. I have made a shaped card and played at using ribbon a different way. The paper is from Creative card making magazine. Since taking the photo I have added abit of glitter to the spots on the paper around the flowers.
Wow! were as this week gone, can't beleive it's nearly weekend again. I've been busy all week working on a Special Christening card for my best friends Granddaughter.She's 28th months old and getting christened next sunday. I wanted to make a card that wasn't too babyish. I love this little Stamp she is called Mimosa and is by a swedish company. I have made the church window by using a free download from my craft studio. It was Blue so changed the colour . I also had to alter the picture as it had a big spray of lilies on half of the window. I pasted and copied and also flipped the design, I printed it onto vellum then cut the flowers off the pieces and joined them together and covered up the join with my stamping. Added roses and the little metal wired bits and stickles to the flowers and added fabric butterflies and the guipure lace.Also added the little metal cross. I coloured the deisn with promarkers and also the ribbon to match. The punching was a Martha Stewart punch. It's the first card I've made with so much decoration, but I wan't it to be really special.
Good morning and a Happy 4th of July. A very dull and breezy day here. I have been using my Pro markers again and some Versa magic chalk ink.. I love this image I think he's so cute. I used a tiny paw print stamp and the paper was free from a magazine ages ago.
I hope your all having a great crafting weekend. Posting this now as my lovely Grandaughter is coming around to play this afternoon. I think I'll get a few stamps out for her to play with. She loves coming in my craft room and stamping, then scribbling all over them with her crayons. We end up so messy What a joy!! I love it.
Here's the card I've just finished, its using a Joanna Sheen cd. I've also done some ribbon ruffling on it. I saw this on one of the cards Sue at Particraft had made. I hadn't tried this before but I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out.. I love clematis , I just hope the lady who ordered the card will like it.
Wow I won 3rd prize blog candy. Thank you Sue for the Travel set of stamps I recieved from creative expressions, lovely. Take a look over at Particraft blog there will a big prize coming up soon when they reach 1000 followers. Sue as made some lovely fun cards for Christmas. I hope everyone is having a good day. I have been messing about in my craftroom this week, hopefully willpost a card soon.


The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA), which refers to itself as a 'platform of NGOs and not-for-profit organisations', calls for institutional funding for health NGOs, which, unlike other NGOs, receive none. EPHA has drafted a detailed opinion on the Commission's proposal and identified nine points that are missing compared to the previous health programme.
The European Men's Health Forum (EMHF) had tabled an amendment to the EU health strategy explicitly calling on the EU to aim to promote equality between men and women in all community activities including health protection. "A gender-sensitive approach to screening, disease and injury prevention programmes could help improve the effectiveness of resources dedicated to tackling priority health issues such as smoking, alcohol abuse, sexual health, nutrition and physical activity," said the director of the EMHF, Erick Savoye. Ludovic Lacaine, who is in charge of European Affairs at the EMHF called the Commission’s proposal for a new health programme "gender-blind". The Commission's amended (May 2006) proposal takes into account Parliament's request for action on gender aspect of health.
The European Heart Network (EHN), the Association of European Cancer Leagues, the International Diabetes Federation -Europe, and the European Cancer Patient Coalition call the Commission's rewrite of the Public health programme "a sad turn of event [...] as by tackling health determinants in isolation from the diseases they cause, the new proposal fails to convince that the EU has a real health agenda.
European Heart Network (EHN) believes that it is important to address cardiovascular disease (CVD) through its risk factors and the wider determinants and is disappointed with the Commission's amended health action programme proposal, as "it does not emphasise the key diseases in the way we had hoped".
The President of Pfizer's European pharmaceutical business, Ian Read, thinks that "Europeans need to challenge an entrenched point of view on healthcare - as a cost to government instead of an investment in people. For more than a decade, political debate has framed healthcare as an expense. A more far-sighted view would consider health spending as an investment in an economic engine. [...] Treating healthcare as an engine of growth is not only good economics; it is also good for business."
The European Health Management Association (EHMA) thinks that the Commission proposal is not sufficient in terms of ensuring the safety of patients and of citizens. Petra Wilson from EHMA said that "health is the fourth, forgotten daughter of Lisbon" and points out that the health sector is a huge employer.
Paul de Raeve from the European Federation of Nurses Associations (EFN) urges the national government and the Commission to keep in touch with the civil society health professionals. He also emphasises the importance of having "motivated nurses", referring to the mobility of nurses and recognition of their qualifications. EFN believes that future public health and health care strategies must focus on promoting health and reducing the present gap in health status between the member states as well as between different groups within each country. It also believes that "although it is the responsibility of individuals and families to make their own choices in relation to their lifestyle and health, public policies have an essential role to play in ensuring that the physical and social environment supports and facilitates healthy choices".
The European Patients Forum questions why "life-style education" is missing in the Commission proposal and urges the Commission to be more pro-active in health issues.
A Spanish government representative noted, in a stakeholder meeting in 2005, that, "member states are setting health policies at different levels - World Health Organisation, Council of Europe and the EU and are paying to all these organisations. The crucial question is about how much money we will get for the many actions envisaged. We should concentrate on something we can achieve."

Young Canadians grappling with the dream of homeownership face a harsh reality check, as insolvency trustees warn of the perilous financial burden associated with skyrocketing living costs.
Rob Kilner, an insolvency trustee at Spergel, underscored the pressing need for a shift in perspective, emphasizing the necessity for many young Canadians to reconsider homeownership aspirations in favor of more financially sustainable alternatives, such as renting. Kilner highlighted the prevailing sense of entitlement among younger demographics, attributing it to stagnant wages amidst soaring inflation and housing prices compounded by escalating interest rates.
"You now have a younger generation who are paying astronomically high living expenses. They are taking the beating the most. It’s almost like the older generation took up the ladder with them, and said ‘good luck climbing the wall,’" Kilner remarked.
Echoing Kilner's sentiment, Samantha Galea, also an insolvency trustee at Spergel, urged a fundamental shift in attitudes towards homeownership, cautioning against the misconception that owning a home equates to success. Galea stressed that such ideals may exacerbate financial vulnerability for individuals ill-equipped to navigate the steep financial demands associated with homeownership.
Recent insights from Wahi's Homebuyer Intention Survey shed light on the prevailing sentiment among young Canadians, with 24 percent of respondents aged 18 to 34 expressing intentions to purchase a home this year. However, this ambition comes at a cost, as many respondents indicated a willingness to make significant sacrifices, including curbing expenditures, extending work hours, or seeking secondary employment.
A separate survey conducted by Houseful, an RBC subsidiary, underscored the compromises made by younger first-time homebuyers to gain a foothold in the housing market. These concessions ranged from settling for smaller dwellings to compromising on ideal locations, signaling a pragmatic approach to homeownership characterized by adaptability and flexibility.
The overarching trend paints a sobering picture of generational disparities in wealth accumulation, with homeownership traditionally serving as a cornerstone for building financial security. Carrie Freestone, an economist at RBC, highlighted the alarming implications of restricted access to homeownership, particularly for renters grappling with escalating housing costs. Freestone underscored the pivotal role of homeownership in wealth accumulation, expressing concern over the widening gap between homeowners and renters in accessing the housing market.
As the specter of unattainable homeownership looms large for many young Canadians, the imperative for proactive measures to address housing affordability becomes increasingly urgent. With insolvency trustees advocating for a pragmatic reassessment of housing aspirations and economists sounding the alarm on the widening wealth gap, the discourse surrounding homeownership in Canada stands at a critical juncture, demanding innovative solutions to ensure financial stability and inclusivity for all.
