Canadian parliament asked to prohibit coercion in euthanasia
Protection of Conscience Project proposes amendment to euthanasia/assisted suicide bill
Protection of Conscience Project
The Protection of Conscience Project is asking the Parliament of Canada to make it a crime to force people to become parties to euthanasia and assisted suicide.
The Project has proposed an amendment to Bill C-7, a pending euthanasia/assisted suicide bill. The amendment would establish that, as a matter of law and national public policy, no one can be compelled to become a party to homicide or suicide, or punished or disadvantaged for refusing to do so.
The proposed amendment would not prevent the provision of euthanasia or assisted suicide by willing practitioners, nor rational arguments aimed at persuading practitioners to participate, nor the offer of incentives to encourage participation. However, it would prevent state institutions or anyone else from attempting to force unwilling citizens to be parties to killing someone or aiding in suicide.
The need for the amendment is demonstrated by policies in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba that compel health care workers to become parties to inflicting death upon patients. Further, Bill C-7 will increase demands that they participate in euthanasia and assisted suicide in increasingly controversial cases, since it will formally legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide for people who are disabled but not dying, and for those who lose the capacity to consent after having arranged for the procedures but before they have been provided.
Parliament has used its criminal law power to prohibit procedures that might be asked of health care workers, like female genital mutilation, and the government plans to prohibit some forms of "conversion therapy."
"It is clear that the federal government can make it a crime to force people to become parties to homicide and suicide," said Sean Murphy, Administrator of the Protection of Conscience Project.
"The Project hopes that Liberal, Conservative, Bloc, Green and Independent parliamentarians can agree that,whatever one might think about euthanasia and assisted suicide, it is unacceptable to compel unwilling Canadians to become parties to killing other people."

Physician freedom of conscience in Saskatchewan
Sean Murphy*
Physician Assisted Dying adequately accommodates both physician freedom of conscience and patients' access to services. It demonstrates that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan could have taken the same approach to freedom of conscience in relation to other procedures and produced a satisfactory policy on conscientious objection.
Conscientious Objection is ambiguous with respect to effective referral and polemical in its treatment of a physician's traditional obligation to render assistance in an emergency. It demonstrates the authors' intention to suppress physician freedom of conscience by compelling them to provide or facilitate morally contested procedures, as well as the intricate wordplay necessary to achieve that end. . .

Quebec law and freedom of conscience for health care professionals
Unlike other Canadian provinces, Quebec codes of ethics for health care professionals are enacted by provincial statute. Quebec is also unique in having a provincial euthanasia law, which includes a protection of conscience provision for health care professionals specific to that service.
Freedom of conscience for services other than euthanasia
The Code of Ethics for Physicians1 and the gloss on the Code by ALDO Quebec,2 an authoritative document, require objecting physicians to advise patients of the consequences of not receiving the contested service, and "offer to help the patient find another physician." They are not obliged to help the patient find someone willing to provide the contested service. Objecting physicians are normally quite willing to explain how patients can find other physicians or health care professionals. . . [Full text]

Quebec's Act Respecting End of Life Care
Reportable and non-reportable euthanasia
Quebec's euthanasia law, the Act Regarding End of Life Care (ARELC), permits two kinds of euthanasia, distinguished here as reportable and non-reportable euthanasia.
Reportable euthanasia is identified as "medical aid in dying" in ARELC.1 Only physicians may administer a lethal substance, and only to a legally competent person who is at least 18 years old, meets other criteria and personally gives informed consent. Physicians must conform to procedural guidelines and reporting requirements. Most people probably believe that this is the only type of euthanasia authorized by the law.
Non-reportable euthanasia is not explicitly identified in the law, but is permitted for legally incompetent patients (including those under 14 years old) who are not dying. Substitute decision makers acting under the authority of Quebec's Civil Code2 can order them to be starved and dehydrated to death. There are no procedural guidelines, no reporting requirements, and it appears that the order can be carried out by anyone responsible for patient care.3 All of this was incorporated into ARELC by a revision of the original text.
Note that section 50, the protection of conscience provision in ARELC for health care professionals, pertains ONLY to reportable euthanasia. The Act does not recognize the possibility of conscientious objection by health care professionals unwilling to participate in euthanasia by starvation and dehydration. . . [Full text]

Pharmacist freedom of conscience in Alberta
Code of Ethics (2009)
A protection of conscience provision is found in the Alberta College of Pharmacy Code of Ethics (2009).1 Objecting pharmacists are directed
to help patients "obtain appropriate pharmacy services from another pharmacist or health professional within a time frame fitting the patient's needs" (clause 3);
to arrange their practices so that "the care of [their] patients will not be jeopardized" when they refuse to provide services for reasons of conscience (clause 4);
to continue "to provide professional services" until another pharmacist or health professional has assumed responsibility (clause 1).
The text seems to presume that the objecting pharmacist need not provide the morally contested service. The requirement to continue to provide "professional services" until someone else assumes responsiblity does not impose an obligation to provide it if another professional is not available within the relevant time frame. . .

Sea Hawkers,
Good news 12s! I have one pair of tickets that was donated to help pay for tickets for club members for next season. They are section 338, row HH. If anyone is interested, $400 per ticket should beat any of the resale prices (especially when you include handling fees). If they don't, let me know. All the money goes back into the club. Email military.seahawkers@gmail.com if you're interested.
If you're in the Seattle area or were watching our Facebook page online, you were able to catch Military Sea Hawkers President Traci Williams along with several of our members on KJR this evening. Everyone did a great job including SSG Rizzo who made a call all the way from Afghanistan!
Just like last week, the Military Sea Hawkers tailgate is in the North Parking Lot. This time we're going to hope that it's not pouring rain, hail and other imaginable weather events while we're trying to party this weekend. Look for the Military Sea Hawkers banner as you come in from the north on 2nd Avenue S. on Bob Hill's camper.
Of course you can always hit up the gathering area for members of all Sea Hawkers clubs located inside Touchdown City where the AFC Championship will be playing on the big screens in there.
Even though it will be a later start than usual, I suspect we'll be heading over to King Street Bar and Oven after the game and that they'll at least be open until traffic around the city starts to clear out.
Back in 2006, I was stuck in Norman, Oklahoma, for the last NFC Championship, so I'm pretty fired up to be at this one. So many folks talk about the previous game as one of the best ever. I'm going into this game expecting the outcome to be just as good.
GO HAWKS!!!
-Brandan
SEahawks vs. 49ers live on AFN/DTS
When the 49ers were on the other side of the bracket against the Carolina Panthers, did you really think we were going to see anything other than a third game between these two teams?
I'm sure most of us were rooting for the Panthers, but in a strange way weren't sad about this being the game to see which team would represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Win on Sunday and you don't have to imagine the bragging rights going into the offseason — you can experience it.
You're probably heard the national talking heads heading into this game. Russell Wilson is struggling since playing in San Francisco. The Seahawks don't have great receivers, while the 49ers are unbeaten since Michael Crabtree has returned from injury. Everyone is comparing the two offenses and leaning in the direction of the 49ers.
Look at the last four matchups between these two teams. On Seattle's home turf it's not even close. The only way the 49ers have played this Seahawks team close is if the game is in San Francisco. This Seattle defense is better than every defense in the league by a wide margin.
Did I mention this is a home game in the playoffs? Most people who watch football know the Seahawks tend to win at home, right? Russell Wilson is 16-1 at home in the last two season AND you're picking against this defense?
I haven't even brought up Marshawn Lynch's name yet. Did you see how he ran against the Saints? He is running like he has a plan to go to the Super Bowl this season and now the only team left in his way are the 49ers.
For those overseas, the game airs on AFN Sports, Sunday at 1530 PT/2330 GMT and 0400 AFG early Monday morning. For those aboard ship, you can catch the game at the same time on DTS Sports.
A replay of the game will air on the same channels, Monday at 0800 PT/1600 GMT and 2030 in Afghanistan.
Sea Hawkers podcast: Episode 23
Another game against the Saints, another win and another earthquake. This game against the Saints was a lot closer than it needed to be, but the Seattle offense ran through Marshawn Lynch and the team came out with a 23-15 victory to move on to the NFC Championship. Adam and Brandan talk about why the game got so close toward the end of the game.
It's okay to be a bit worried about this upcoming matchup with a good 49ers team. The offense may not be clicking as well as fans would hope, but considering what we're seeing from other teams right now this offense is good enough to win a Super Bowl. Brandan shares some recent statistics from previous 49ers games that might surprise you.
Mack Strong, former Seahawks fullback for 15 seasons, comes on the show to talk about the attitude of the team right now and how they're approaching this game against San Francisco.
Adam and Brandan let members of the Military Sea Hawkers know about an opportunity to score two tickets to the NFC Championship game, Brandan talks about a Fox Sports piece on the 12s you won't want to miss, and they share their latest selections for Better at Life.

Duties on import of mobile phone components reduced
Vivek Pai
By Vivek Pai	vivek@medianama.com May 10, 2016
The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has issued a notification amending the import duty on mobile phone components like chargers, batteries and wired headsets, down to 12.5%. The import duty was increased during the Budget 2016-17 to 29.44% to include 10% custom duty, 12.5% countervailing duty and 4% special attention duty.
Importers will now only have to pay the 12.5% countervailing duty, as the other duties have been revoked. Other parts or components used in the manufacture of broadband modems, routers, set top boxes for internet access, lithium-ion batteries for other than mobile handsets, digital video recorders, network video recorders and CCTV cameras will also benefit from reduced duty.
This move should help manufacturers assembling complete sets in India keep their costs down. Currently, a completely packaged phone (accessories et al.) faces a 12% duty to import, for example Apple importing iPhones. The budget announced duty increase would leave such companies unaffected, instead penalizing those that choose to finish the packaging in India, like Xiaomi, Micromax and Samsung do.
Various companies are currently looking to, or are already manufacturing or assembling phones in India. The increased tax would have forced these companies to either import fully packaged products, manufacture entirely in India, or increase the price of the handsets. As such, the move to revert taxes to 12% should keep most phone manufacturers happy.
Manufacturing in India: The Indian government has been encouraging domestic companies to start manufacturing electronics goods within the country instead of importing them and had approved a National Policy on Electronics. Since then, various smartphone manufacturers have said they will start manufacturing in India or have already started doing so.
– Last month, Micromax inaugurated a manufacturing plant in Telangana. The same month, Oppo said it would set up a manufacturing unit in Noida with an investment of Rs 100 crore.
– In November, Optiemus Infracom, the founder of the domestic mobile brand Zen Mobile, signed a joint venture with Wistron Corporation to set up a mobile manufacturing unit in Noida.
– Various manufacturers have tied up with Foxconn to manufacture phones in India. In November, Oppo started contract manufacturing in India in partnership with Foxconn while in September, Gionee tied up with Foxconn and Dixon to manufacture its phones in India. In June, the company started making Xiaomi phones in the country.
– The month before, Foxconn was in talks with Adani Enterprises to form a joint venture (JV), likely to make iPhones in India. The company had first reported in June that it could possibly set up base in India to manufacture iPhones, iPads and iPods for Indian and international sales.
– In August, Lenovo started the local production of smartphones with Flextronics under a contract manufacturing deal at its Sriperumbudur plant.
– Videocon Mobile Phones, Videocon Group's mobile company, started manufacturing mobile phones in the country.

Making art + media in the mountains since 1969.
We were founded in 1969 by young people who chose not to wait to see what was possible — but to build it themselves.
The film workshop that started it all taught young people in Whitesburg, Kentucky how to tell stories with cameras, audio recorders, and a "portable video machine" at the hands of an instructor who was still quite young himself.
From our very inception, Appalshop has been youth-led and youth-driven, and we continue that legacy today by welcoming and empowering young people into every aspect of our organization.
We have volunteer DJs under the age of 20, college-aged interns organizing our annual music festival and learning from our professional archivists, and people of every age joining the work with our partners in the Letcher County Culture Hub.
We also have programming specifically geared to develop young people's skills, hone their leadership, and broaden their impact.
Appalachian Media Institute
Appalshop believes in letting people tell their own stories, and that includes young people. Almost 20 years after the first films at Appalshop were made by young people who were participating in a community film workshop, we officially founded our Appalachian Media Institute (AMI) in 1988 for Appalachian youth.
Using the technological and artistic resources at Appalshop to learn media production skills, the centerpiece of AMI's program is our annual Summer Documentary Institute. Young people aged 14-22 produce finished documentaries in just 8 weeks on subjects ranging from the opioid epidemic to LGBTQ+ experiences to the experience of getting "the talk" from your grandparents. Collectively, AMI films provide a unique snapshot of youth perspectives on central Appalachia over a period of 30 years.
AMI helps young people use media to ask — and begin to answer — critical questions about themselves and their communities. We intentionally position youth as initiators of dialogue and social action around crucial community issues, and we help them to see themselves that way, too.
We foster positive attachments to Appalachia and Appalachian traditions, even as their exposure to media pushes our young people to see themselves as part of an interconnected world. Indeed, with 80 percent of our AMI interns moving from our program into higher education, and with AMI serving as an incubator for regional initiatives such as The Stay Together Appalachian Youth Project (STAY), we know our program's impact extends even beyond filmmaking itself.
Our young filmmakers' work has been featured by
and recognized with the Coming Up Taller Award, presented by Hillary Clinton. Over 1,200 young people have passed through AMI.

All Access EKY
We work with young people and health advocates in ten different Eastern Kentucky counties to ensure young people have access to the full range of reproductive health services and contraceptive methods. Called All Access EKY, the program combines storytelling, media making, clinical training, and community outreach.
Since All Access EKY began in 2017, we've already produced more than two dozen media pieces. They range from portrait-driven documentaries — "I Know My Body," "You Don't Have to Rush," or "Times Have Changed" — to informational explainers like "Let's LARC About It" or "What Is Consent?"
At the core of All Access EKY's structure is an engaged advisory board of healthcare workers, policy advocates and leaders from our ten county service area who work directly with our youth producers to create a model of change that's intergenerational and regionally specific. Appalshop's Appalachian Media Institute and Community Media Initiative coordinate All Access EKY in partnership with the Kentucky Health Justice Network and Power to Decide, the campaign to prevent unplanned pregnancy.
Visit the All Access EKY site
Passing the Pick and Bow
Our after-school Appalachian music program, Passing the Pick and Bow, puts banjos, fiddles, guitars and mandolins in the hands of nearly 100 students each year. It's free, year-round, and part of Appalshop's broader mission to foster pride and connection to Appalachian arts and culture.
Pick and Bow is often the only music education that our local children and teens get. Each semester begins with an assembly performance by our eight instructors in schools where the program operates. After lessons from traditional master musicians for the duration of the school year, it's students' turn to perform at the end of the semester.
Appalshop started Pick and Bow in Letcher County in 2003, then expanded it to Knott County in 2016 with the Hindman Settlement School and again to Floyd County in 2018 with South Arts. Pick and Bow is part of WMMT's commitment to old-time and traditional music, and the program is just one way we're working to pass on our Appalachian heritage to younger generations.

Live life one film at a time
Genre Toppers
Consumed By TV
Tag: Vincent D'Onofrio
Director: Colin Trevorrow
Release Date: June 11th, 2015 (UK); June 12th, 2015 (US)
Genre: Action; Adventure; Science fiction
Starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In the context of filmmaking, it's very easy to construe that as nothing more than an excuse for lazy writing or a general lack of ideas. Mainstream horror comes to mind, movies that retread the same ground so often that the concrete slabs below are eroding into nothingness. Jurassic World similarly stomps over familiar tracks, the same ones paved back in 1993 by Steven Spielberg.
Yet there's an authentic admiration afoot in Colin Trevorrow's work. Moments so sincere that any semblance of cynicism will be expunged from your psyche. A lot of goodwill has clearly been poured into the making of this fourth dino instalment, a film that undoubtedly strives to capture the fantastical magic of the first. It probably gets there in the end. We see imitation in spades and it's flat out splendid.
Some time after the tumultuous events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar has been transformed into the tourist-attracting dinosaur paradise originally envisioned by John Hammond. Operations manager Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) invites her two nephews — gloomy Zach (Nick Robinson) and wide-eyed Gray (Ty Simpkins) — over to experience the park first-hand. When something inexplicably goes wrong, Claire and Velociraptor coach Owen (Chris Pratt) find themselves in a race to restore civility.
These characters are initially drawn rather whimsically. Chris Pratt's Owen is the morally upright park hand who spends his time tucked away in a cabin fixing up motorcycles when he's not training Velociraptors. Claire is work-obsessed, her penchant for sustainable order and satisfaction statistics often overruling any time spent with her nephews (both of whom also assume recognisable age-related traits). It's all part of the writers' plan though; imminent danger brings heroism and savviness to the fore, particularly in Claire whose transformation is punctuated in a scene where she literally rolls up her sleeves.
In fairness, there are early hints at this increasing character roundedness. Conversations about the new breed of dinosaur — Indominus Rex, a corporate attempt to freshen up the park — leave Claire flustered, suggesting she is somewhat torn by the possible consequences. "Indominus wasn't bred, she was designed," we hear ominously. Owen, despite treating his raptors with care and respect, is still holding them captive. The influence of corporations, poor animal welfare, and immoral science are all interesting themes that would have benefited from more breathing time in a film not contractually obliged to serve up grand bouts of action.
Occasionally, Trevorrow and his team of co-writers do return to the aforementioned themes — an exhilarating scene where Owen rides his bike among the raptors seems to suggest humans and dinosaurs are one in the same. But the moment of the movie, and a shoe-in for one of the moments of the entire year, belongs to Claire. It comes towards the conclusion, spine-tingling in delivery, and cements her place atop the annual cinematic table of quick-thinking badassery.
While Bryce Dallas Howard moulds into the cool aunt we always knew she could be — shooting errant dinosaurs and using her wily driving skills to protect her nephews — Chris Pratt remains impossibly cool throughout. He's Indiana Jones, a surly customer not afraid to echo some juvenile Han Solo-esque one-liners. When he gets serious, he means it. The two actors appear effortless in their roles, and share an engaging, charmingly awkward chemistry.
An underfed yet sweet relationship plays out between brothers Zach and Gray too. Not helped by an unnecessary divorce plot strand, Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins are fun to watch as the generic sibling duo who eventually, predictably, come to appreciate each other. Robinson, who excelled in The Kings of Summer, has natural charisma and could be a breakout role away from superstardom. Comparably younger, Simpkins defies the annoying kid curse and puts on an amiable show here.
Other members of a pleasingly diverse cast include Omar Sy, Jake Johnson, Lauren Lapkus, Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, and previous Jurassic survivor, BD Wong. Jimmy Fallon makes a hilarious cameo, striking a funny bone from which point the film gets gradually more amusing. Trevorrow manages to carefully balance light-hearted humour (which the franchise well known for) and rampaging action (which the franchise is also well known for). We see this during a dino football scene: the situation is terrifying in theory, but the visual of a marauding dinosaur thumping a giant glass ball around is humorous.
Action spots are aplenty, though never burdensome. Executed with boisterous energy, you willingly give into the air of childlike joy and genuine threat. One sequence sees the dinosaurs meet The Birds and we subsequently feel that film's sense of impending, uncontrollable danger. A claustrophobic night vision routine looks like it has been lifted directly from the Zero Dark Thirty Abbottabad raid. These instigators of flickering emotion merge with John Schwartzman's realistic-looking cinematography, and as such we constantly feel embedded in the story. This is, without doubt, a CGI masterstroke.
The same can't be said for compelling dialogue, of which is there is very little. There are plenty of exposition-driven sound bites in first hour though, lines wrapped in a heightened dramatic effect, snippets that have an unfortunate made-for-trailer dynamic. The screenplay is ham-fisted, especially during the film's opening third where the desire to induce peril overrides any airy character discussion. But the people and the sounds and the overall atmosphere collectively create a welcome distraction.
At its simplest — and it is often simple — Jurassic World is a nostalgic love letter to cinema. It is a wonderfully reminiscent piece bearing great admiration for Spielberg's original, and is able to duplicate Jurassic Park's most memorable moments without plunging into mawkish territory. We hear John Williams' famous track early on, during a perfectly handled island tour sequence celebrating the magnificent park facilities (Tomorrowland… pfft), before it hits a crescendo coated in cinematic glee.
Those sort of goosebump-inducing moments are the foundation of the cinematic experience. Jurassic World is not the complete package by any means, but as far as celebratory storytelling goes, it has serious bite.

Taishi Kamiya
Funding organisation
Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID)
taishikamiya.com
Artist Taishi Kamiya during his residency in Berlin concentrates on cross-sectoral research between art and business focusing on the topic of the effectiveness of art in business innovation.
Following the idea of John Maedas' "Design is a solution to a problem. Art is a question to a problem." his research focuses on looking at experimental forms connecting art, design, and business cooperations. One of the outcomes of his stay in Berlin will be a study documenting selected stories and solutions which is planned to be a valid part of his final project at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID).
With the support of Berlin Sessions Kamiya conducts his research through a series of programmed interviews. This mapping process is an essential part of the study and aims to localize relevant actors of the German capital. By immersing himself in the landscape of cultural, co-working and entrepreneurial spaces he will find conversation partners such as artists and makers, receiving a broad first-hand view on the topic.
Taishi Kamiya as an artist is active in the sound art field and as a maker of sounding devices. Born in Sapporo, Japan he seeks to explore the moments when audible sounds turn into music. Making full use of Soprano saxophone and laptop computer, he performs by processing the derived sounds in real time. He has released a solo album from the label Home Normal (UK), and Nomadic Kids Republic (JP), etc..
In his sound installations, he is interested in the subtle tone changes, depending on situations and circumstances, such as in a temple or during a snowfall.

China to lose its most populous country title this year – UN
India is set to take the lead by April
© Getty Images / Anindito Mukherjee
India will become the world's most populous country by April 14, reaching 1.43 billion and overtaking China earlier than previously expected, according to UN data. The country's population, currently over 1.4 billion, is expected to continue to grow to 1.7 billion in 2064 before it starts to decline.
The UN has repeatedly moved up its estimate of when India will overtake its northern neighbor in population size. As recently as 2019, it was not expected to happen until 2027. It will be the first time in 300 years China is not the global population leader.
While India has been growing at a rate of 2% since the second half of the 20th century, China's growth rate shrunk by nearly half to 1.1% between 1973 and 1983 and never recovered, in large part because of government policies limiting families to one child. While Chinese families are now free to have as many children as they like, the average family size remains at 1.3.
India's GDP to double over next decade – economist
Thus India surpassing China as the most populous country is not because the former's birth rate is surging – it has actually declined from an average of 5.7 births per woman in 1950 to just two births per woman in 2022 – but because it is declining more slowly than China's.
India's economy is also growing. Recently surpassing its former colonial centre, Britain, as the fifth largest in the world. It is expected to reach number three by 2029, according to the State Bank of India. The country is also predicted to provide over a sixth of the projected increase in the world's working-age population between now and 2050.

Sacred Heart, emerging NCAA Division II team Emmanuel to play in 2015
Emmanuel in its inaugural season as a NCAA Division II provisional member will play its first match in program history against an EIVA opponent.
The newest Conference Carolinas school recently announced that it scheduled a non-conference match against Sacred Heart in the upcoming season.
Sacred Heart and Emmanuel will play each other as part of the Coker Invitational on March 7 in Hartsville, South Carolina. It is also the only non-conference match on Emmanuel's recently unveiled 2015 regular season schedule versus a team from the EIVA or MIVA.
Emmanuel joins the Conference Carolinas as a provisional member for the 2015 season and will continue its three-year transition from NAIA before becoming eligible for full NCAA Division II membership in the fall of 2016.
The Tigers in the program's second year finished last season at No. 8 in the NAIA national coaches poll and narrowly missed an at-large bid to the six-team NAIA national championships.
Sacred Heart ended the 2014 season in sixth place in the EIVA and for the third consecutive year did not qualify the four-team conference tournament. In addition, the Pioneers return a majority of their starters, including outside attacker Enzo Mackenzie who was in the conference's top 10 with a 2.91 kills per game average.
This will be the second consecutive year that Sacred Heart has participated in the Coker Invitational. The Pioneers last season went 2-1 at the non-conference tournament with victories against Coker and Pfeiffer.
Along with its match against Sacred Heart, Emmanuel will play three of its remaining five non-conference matches next season against NCAA Division I-II teams.
Emmanuel will have a home-and-home non-conference series against Coker and will play a home match on March 9 against Holy Names, the newest NCAA Division II men's volleyball program from the West Coast.

HS2 and the Environment (Jan 2020)
Ensuring that HS2 strikes the right balance between the needs of affected communities and the environment, and the long-term needs of the country as a whole, is essential.
As you may be aware, Ministers have launched an independent review of HS2, which is also considering HS2's environmental benefits, in particular for carbon reduction in line with net zero commitments. While the review is ongoing, removals of ancient woodland for HS2 have been stopped – unless they are deemed to be absolutely necessary to avoid major cost and schedule impacts in the event the project proceeds.
As matters stand, HS2 Ltd's Sustainability Policy commits to the protection of the environment through seeking to avoid significant adverse effects on communities, businesses and the environment, including the prevention of pollution.
The policy also commits to minimising impacts where they occur, and delivering enhancements as far as reasonably practicable to attain no net loss to the natural environment. I am pleased that on current plans a green corridor is also being created alongside the railway, including the planting of seven million new trees and shrubs along the Phase One route from London to the West Midlands.
The Government has also previously committed to providing support for local communities if HS2 is constructed, first along the Phase One route. An overall £70 million funding package has been made available which would help enhance community facilities, improve access to the countryside, and help improve road and cycle safety in towns and villages along the HS2 Phase One route. It would support local economies where businesses may experience disruption from the construction of the line.

Episode 7 :: A Whole New Galaxy
The Star Wars universe we know is changing rapidly. Like the cycle of rebirth, the old must be burnt away before it can come back familiar but new and (hopefully) stronger. With game-changing shake-ups like this we had to convene for a new State of the Empire.
The Expanded Universe is in the process of drastic revision as the recently formed Lucasfilm Story Group compress the franchise into a unified timeline. Meanwhile, the inevitable has happened and it's been announced that after 20+ years Dark Horse will be passing the Star Wars comic right over to Marvel. While this was expected, what we didn't expect was that in the process we might be loosing our favorite thing to happen to Star Wars comics in ages: Brian Wood's Star Wars. Join Cap, Hex, and Doug as we go in-depth with these happenings and offer our Force Adept insight on what they spell out for the future of the Star Wars Galaxy.
We also discuss the latest news on Episode VII including the possible reason for the screenwriter switch-up, who the lead characters might be of VII and beyond, the rumored spin-off films, the future of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, how Captain EO could be in Star Wars continuity, the latest about Indiana Jones, and we're joined by Star Wars: Rebels executive producer Greg Weisman and Young Justice co-creator Brandon Vietti to discuss Willow.
