Finnish national income policy agreements or comprehensive income policy agreements (, often called tupo; ) are tripartite agreements between Finnish trade unions, employers' organizations, and the Finnish government. They are policy documents covering a wide range of economic and political issues, such as salaries, taxation, pensions, unemployment benefits, and housing costs. They represent collective bargaining taken to its logical maximum, reaching virtually all wage-earners. Their enforcement is made easier by the universal validity of collective labour agreements. However, they are voluntary agreements and are not considered government legislation, i.e. they do not represent central planning of the economy.

In national income policy agreements, the government and the employees' and employers' organizations attempt to reach a common understanding of the best choices for the national economy in terms of economic growth and real wages. The basic conundrum is simple: employees want higher salaries, employers want no wage hikes. The government wants to maintain international competitiveness and a high employment rate, while simultaneously ensuring sufficient tax revenues and keeping inflation in check.

National income policy agreements are usually valid for a two-year period. These agreements are not compulsory. If the employers' and employees' national organisations cannot agree on terms, no agreement is signed. In that case, negotiations on salaries are carried out by individual trade federations with no government participation. Sometimes talks are not even initiated due to differences of opinion between employers' and employees' organizations.

History
The first national income policy agreement was negotiated by National Labour Dispute Conciliator Keijo Liinamaa. In 1967, Liinamaa was given a special task by Prime Minister Rafael Paasio: Liinamaa was to negotiate a comprehensive economic deal with employers' organisations and labour unions in order to prevent inflation due to rising wages. These negotiations resulted in the first national income policy agreement, the so-called "Liinamaa I" and brought fame to Liinamaa, a later caretaker prime minister. The tradition of comprehensive agreements has been particularly persistent since then, even if there are always doomsayers predicting their end. Currently, there is no such agreement. This follows from the political pressures to increase public sector competitivity that led to comparatively higher increases in public sector wages, particularly nurses' wages.

In 2008, the main employer's union Confederation of Finnish Industries, representing 70% of Finland's GDP, announced that new national income policy agreements will not be made, and that they will radically reduce the influence of the central union, and close down the special office that has prepared previous agreements. The reasons cited were the inflexibility of comprehensive agreements, their incompatibility with global markets and the differences between different industries. This was met by accusations of irresponsibility from some trade union leaders.

The agreements have ultimately been an effective way to curb inflation, particularly in recent times where globalization has placed pressure on both the employers and employees. The consensus policy unravelled several "perpetual inflation machine" problems: wages tied to price indices, constant competition over nominal wages between different employee unions resulting in constant nominal wage hikes, the government effectively subsidising these wage hikes by subsidising exports based on costs (including wages), and perpetual strikes to increase minor benefits (particularly Niilo Wälläri's seamen's union). On the other hand, a comprehensive agreement maintains distortions that have arisen between different industries, i.e. when wages are too low in one industry relative to other industries.

Richmond today's main industries are refineries, but during World War 2, Richmond grew from 24,000 people to 100,000 people, as it was home to 56 different war industries. In particular Richmond shipyards produced 747 ships, more than any other in the world. The Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond commemorates the "Rosies", women who made up much of the workforce at the shipyards.

For years, the practice of carding (known in Peel as street checks) was deeply controversial, with some claiming it was necessary to prevent crime and others insisting it bred distrust and animosity between police and civilians—especially civilians of colour.
The Ontario government recently announced that starting January 1, a new regulation will come into effect that will prohibit police from "requesting identifying information arbitrarily, or based on a person's race or presence in a high-crime neighbourhood during certain police-public interactions."
The regulation also sets out new rules that police must follow when requesting identifying information.
"It is absolutely essential that everyone in this province be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their race or religion," says Michael Coteau, the minister responsible for anti-racism and the Minister of Children and Youth Services. "Working through the Anti-Racism Directorate, I am committed to finding ways to break down systemic barriers. I look forward to continuing to work with Minister Flynn and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to address and eliminate systemic racism in the justice sector, and build a more inclusive society."
The move also works to address issues of discrimination, as reports have demonstrated that people of colour are more likely to be stopped and questioned than other segments of the population.
"These rules will ensure these interactions are conducted without bias or discrimination, and done in a manner that promotes public confidence and keeps Ontario communities safe," the government release reads.
According to the provincial government, training—which was developed in consultation with an expert roundtable—has also been incorporated into the basic training program for new police recruits at the Ontario Police College. The Code of Conduct for police has been updated to reflect the new regulation and failure to follow the rules will be considered a Code of Conduct violation that may result in discipline.
Ontario will also appoint an independent reviewer to complete a review of the regulation within two years and in 2017, the province will launch a multi-year academic study to understand the impact of collecting information on the ability of police to solve crime, analyze and identify the impact of race-based collections and analyze the impact of the new regulations on this practice.

Many states want Syria back in the Arab League, official says
September 20, 2022 at 9:13 am | Published in: Africa, Algeria, Arab League, International Organisations, Middle East, News, Syria
Arab League Assistant Secretary General Hossam Zaki gives a speech in Beirut, Lebanon on November 08, 2021 [Lebanese Presidency - Anadolu Agency]
Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League Hossam Zaki said yesterday that several Arab states want Syria to be returned to the regional body.
In a statement, Zaki said: "Syria's attendance was not at all an Algerian condition, but Algeria wishes that Syria would be able to attend the next Arab League meeting in order to regain lost unity among Arab League member states."
He also said: "The return of Syria to the Arab League is not only an Algerian wish, but it was the wish of several other Arab states."
Zaki said that the Arab League Chief Ahmad Abul Gheit carried out "long" discussions with Algerian officials as they were preparing to hold the Arab League summit in Algiers.
Following the discussions, Abul Geit and the Algerian officials agreed that Syria should not return to the Arab League at the moment because this issue should be agreed unanimously.
The majority of the Arab League's member-states voted on 12 November 2011 to suspend Syria's membership in response to the regime's crackdown on pro democracy protesters.

Dr. Miami & Adam Barta Team Up With MariahLynn & Reina for 'Peep Me Tonight'
By Joe Lynch
Royal Eyez
Dr. Miami
Reality TV, plastic surgery, hip-hop and dance music collide with the release of "Peep Me Tonight" on Tuesday (July 31), the new collaboration between plastic surgeon/social media star Dr. Miami (of WE tv's Dr. Miami) and singer Adam Barta, featuring dance artist Reina and rapper/Love & Hip-Hop: New York star MariahLynn.
A follow-up to Dr. Miami & Adam Barta's "Flawless," "Peep Me Tonight" traces back to – what else in the 21st century – social media.
"I met MariahLynn when she came to visit Miami a couple of years ago. I invited her to be a guest on my SnapChat and interview on my Facebook live," Dr. Miami explains. "We started chatting and she mentioned that she was considering plastic surgery. I gave her consultation and we talked about her music. Fast-forward a year and she had her breast augmentation. When Adam Barta told me about doing a follow-up to our song 'Flawless' I said we have to have MariahLynn feature. She was totally cool with it. She went into the studio and spit fire -- I told Adam "She totally completes the song.'"
"So amazing to work with an artist the caliber of MariahLynn on this track," Barta says. "She really delivered the fire and when Dr. Miami said she'd be willing to do the feature, I knew we would have an instant hit. Who knew a plastic surgeon, a famous rapper, a dance music chart topper (Reina) and myself would ever come together to make such a banger?"
"Peep Me Tonight," produced by Electropoint, is out on Waverly | Grace Records. Check it out above.

Oprah was on The Late Late Show and made James Corden cry almost immediately.
Last night, James Corden had the cast of Disney's A Wrinkle In Time on his show, which just so happens to include the Queen of All Media herself, Oprah Winfrey. And Corden immediately began the interview by addressing Oprah's almost witch-like power to make anyone cry at any time.
"My worry when I woke up this morning is I don't know if I can make it through this interview," Corden said while pausing for breath, "without crying."
This got laughter from the audience, naturally, but the former talk show host does have an incredible ability to induce tears from anyone she speaks with.
"Because you seem to have an unbelievable gift," Corden continued. "Even now I can feel myself tearing up. When did you first realize you had this power just to make people cry?"
Oprah explained that she discovered her awesome power while working as a journalist in Baltimore. "You wanted that moment where you could have someone be open, be vulnerable enough to have an intimate connection and cry," she said. "Now I try not to get people to cry. I withhold the powers."
Reese Witherspoon was also on the show and related to Corden that she lasted about five minutes before crying on Oprah's talk show. "I just started weeping," Witherspoon admitted while Oprah recalled it was over a former teacher from her youth.
Then, Corden made the mistake of turning to Oprah and saying "unleash the power." Oprah turned to him, reached out to his shoulder, and began.
"Charlotte, Carrie, Max," referring to Corden's three children he has with wife Julia Carey. "Once on my show a father said, 'Every father has a dream for his children,'" she said, and immediately Corden began tearing up.
"Oh shut up," he said in an adorable British accent, but Oprah heedlessly pressed onward.
"'And his deepest regret in life will be if he doesn't fulfill that dream for his children. What is the dream you hold in your heart for Charlotte, for Max--"
"Who are you?!" Corden exclaimed.
Undeterred, Oprah squeezed Corden's shoulder. "What is the dream you hold?" she asked.
"I just want to feel like this every day," Corden replied.
It was both heartwarming and kinda eerie. Check it out in the clip below.


Apr 02, 2019 / WORDS Daniel Jaramillo / Still burning bright!
Aussie metalcore fans can rejoice as August Burns Red will be returning to our shores later in the year to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their album Constellations as part of a worldwide tour.
The Pennsylvanian quintet will be playing their third album in its entirety and will also be diving deep into the rest of their catalogue including their most recent material. August Burns Red were last in the country in 2015 supporting our very own metalcore heroes Northlane and are keen to bring their intense and melodically driven chaos for a tour down under that covers all the major capitals and includes a date in Newcastle. Hysteria had a chat to founder and guitarist Brent Rambler about the writing and recording of Constellations, the commercial and critical acclaim the album received, how the outfit has evolved over the last ten years and more!
Just in the last decade alone the band has released five brutal albums as well as a few EP's and have truly toured their butts off: "We've gone a little more experimental with the music in this decade and I think Constellations was the bridge for that, we've grown as people and the band has grown which is always awesome to see. I love that we can come back and do a ten-year anniversary tour and have it be successful whilst continuing to tour for new albums and be equally as successful, it's something we are all pretty proud of." As the band's sonic evolution continues to thrive, the music scene they belong to has also exploded, especially in recent years.
Metalcore bands are popping up everywhere especially in Asia and Australia where the fanbases are extremely passionate about the music. For a band Like August Burns Red who have certified themselves in the genre, they are still very inspired by their contemporaries: "There's definitely been some bands that have risen to the top, some of these bands have been around forever and have proven to be good songwriters, bands like Architects, Parkway Drive and us. There are bands who were there from the beginning like Killswitch Engage who really kicked it all off and are still getting the same support. There are bands like Crystal Lake from Japan who are doing extremely well, they opened up for us in our US tour and blew everyone in the crowd away, all of our fans showed up early to see them which was awesome." As the metalcore scene continues to flourish worldwide August Burns Red will be playing Australian shows that combine penetrative musicianship from a lengthy catalogue and a menacing performance that demands your attention from beginning to end.

New Law to Bury POSA Gets Nod
February 21, 2019	News
Cabinet yesterday approved the Maintenance of Peace and Order Bill, which seeks to repeal the Public Order and Security Act (POSA), Protection of Personal Information Bill and the Freedom of Information Bill whose thrust is to repeal the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA).
The approval of the principles of the two Bills demonstrates determination by the Second Republic to pursue the reform agenda that will see the country move on a new trajectory in domestic and foreign policies under the stewardship of President Mnangagwa.
The repeal of POSA and AIPPA paves way for the opening up of the democratic space and the enjoyment of freedoms and rights, moving away from the previous era before the advent of President Mnangagwa's administration.
Addressing a post-Cabinet meeting media briefing in Harare last night, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said she presented the principles of the Freedom of Information Bill that would create legal framework outlining parameters for the exercise of the right to access to information as envisaged by the Constitution.
"Cabinet approved the principles and directed that instructions be issued for the drafting of the actual Bill, which is one of the three Bills envisaged to arise from the repeal of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (Chapter 10:27)," said Minister Mutsvangwa.
Responding to what entailed the Maintenance of Peace and Order Bill, Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said the proposed law was not only meant to comply with the Constitution, but to be consistent with previous judgments that were made by courts of law.
"One issue we wanted to amend is where a convenor of a public meeting, in the current Act there was no requirement for the regulator to give a specific period where they can respond if you had applied for a public meeting," he said.
"In the new Bill, we are saying once there are no issues within three days, the regulator must inform the conveners of that particular meeting that they can go ahead.
"Also, we needed to deal with Section 27 which spoke about a regulator being allowed in advance, in anticipation of a demonstration, to designate a certain area that demonstrations cannot be done for a month or so, this we have banned, we have removed that provision.
"There was also within the Act the provision that if you do not have an identity card you can be detained, in the new law, if there is a security roadblock and if you do not have an identity card, the officer can now require you to present yourself to a police station within seven days and if you do not have an identity card within that period you are liable to a fine.
"There is also a provision in POSA where the armed forces can be called to assist the police. The 2013 Constitution says that once the armed forces is called to assist the police, the President must cause Parliament to be informed. So, we are going to insert that provision so that within the maintenance of peace, that provision is captured where the President will be called upon to inform Parliament within seven days of its next sitting after deploying soldiers to assist the police."
Turning to other deliberations, Minister Mutsvangwa said Cabinet was briefed by Health and Child Care Minister Dr Obadiah Moyo on several programmes undertaken to improve availability of medicines.
They include procurement of $2 million worth of medicine from Denmark, securing $25 million of medicines from Gemcorp, which is already underway, a donation of $2 million worth of drugs secured by China Polaris, and procurement of medicines under a commodity exchange programme involving Russian Federation National Security, which is already under discussion.
"To address the prevailing situation where patients in need of specialist services are forced to seek treatment outside the country, often at costs beyond the reach of many of our citizens, Government is now working towards establishment of a speciality hospital wing under the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals," said Minister Mutsvangwa.
Land for building industrial parks had been identified at the University of Zimbabwe farm, Chivhu council, Masvingo and Marondera.
On the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Road project, Minister Mutsvangwa said rehabilitation of the Beatrice to Chivhu section was set to start tomorrow, while rehabilitation of the Chivhu town section was due to commence on March 1 2019, with tenders for the remaining section having been submitted to the Procurement Regulatory Authority.
Minister Mutsvangwa said Cabinet expressed its condolence on the death of artisanal miners at Battlefields Mine disaster owing to flooding of mine shafts.
Government, said Minister Mutsvangwa, had approved a Fund known as Business Emergency Relief Fund to assist affected businesses by the violent disturbances that rocked the country on January 14 to 16 2019.
The money would be disbursed directly to suppliers and retailers who would draw down goods and re-payment would be made for a period of three to six months at an interest rate of four percent per annum.
Cabinet was also briefed on the partial privatisation of the Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation where it was agreed that tendering process with respect to Glvington Gold Mine, Jena, Lynx Graphite, Sandawana mines, Mbungu CBM and Gwayi CBM be abandoned.
Cabinet also approved Bilateral Air Services Agreements between Zimbabwe and the Sultanate of Oman and Democratic Socialist of Sri-Lanka providing framework of air transport services as part of Government's efforts to engage and re-engage with the international community, thereby fulfilling the mantra that Zimbabwe is Open for Business.

You are here: Home Topics Drones Question and answer Where am I allowed to fly my drone?
Where am I allowed to fly my drone?
You are allowed to fly in the uncontrolled section of airspace, in other words: airspace that doesn't fall under the authority of air traffic control. Certain sections of airspace are subject to temporary or permanent no-fly orders. You are not allowed to fly over crowds or in the vicinity of airports. You need a permit to fly over protected nature areas.
Drone map of the Netherlands
There is a map that shows which areas are partly or entirely off-limits to drones. If you wish to fly your drone in an area with low-flying aeroplanes, you must bring along a second person to act as a spotter, who can warn you about approaching aircraft. You must always yield to aeroplanes or other aircraft.
Drones are only permitted to fly in uncontrolled sections of airspace
Unless you have been granted an exemption, you are only allowed to fly in the uncontrolled section of airspace. It does not matter if you are using your drone for recreation or to earn money (commercial use). In addition to whatever specific rules may apply to the area where you have chosen to fly, you must always comply with the general rules for flying drones.
No-fly zones for drones
Certain sections of airspace are temporarily or permanently off-limits to drones, like the airspace above the Royal Palace in Amsterdam or major events like Sail.
Licence to fly over Natura 2000 areas
If you wish to fly over Natura 2000 areas (protected nature areas), you will need to apply for a permit from the provincial authority in question.

Birthdays - Lyrik und Prosa von Margret Silvester!
but in the other you're waiting for the next one.
Today my sister who sent this card ages ago should celebrate her birthday. But she is gone into the land of shadow and I don't know if birthdays have any meaning in that land. Still - I think of her this year like I did in all those passed years and remember the times of narrow and good relationship. Nothing else matters.
With love and greetings to the ones who are left behind.


1) If you happen to wait long sufficient, all the things in life is free. Many times we are in such a hurry that we have to pay for everything. What you pay for isn't the merchandise you buy, however the convenience of having it if you need it.
It is vital to know which type of food enterprise you want to go into earlier than you do the rest. You then need to find a good location that provides you with quite a lot of passing commerce. It does not pay dividends to choose a location the place there are already a lot of pizza parlours if that is the type of shop you want to open for instance. Cautious thought right here can prevent a whole lot of wasted time, money and energy afterward.
So, if your telephone number screams and dominates your Yellow Page advert area, downsize it and redirect the emphasis of your advert to the four gadgets above. These elements (and how they interact with one another) will decide whether your next Yellow Web page ad is a strong, telephone-busting winner OR just a plain 'ol sore loser.
It is perhaps tempting to be financially lenient collectively with your shoppers as you start to build enterprise enterprise relationships, however doing so may eventually jeopardize your profitability. Be transparent in your consumers about payment terms, potential rates and rate of curiosity due on late funds.
Sufferers have the option to choose the facility in lots of instances. They're becoming a much more savvy and educated about their well being, and the choice of hospitals or doctor is usually being laid at their feet. Like some other business, a medical skilled should compete with all his peers within the area. So?why permit them to get all of the business? Promoting pays. One proven technique of efficient advertising is the junk mail campaign.
Martin Tindall Vanuatu is a extremely professional individual appointed as the Head of Enterprise Development at Kronos Limited. He's dedicated towards the conservation of environment and interested in the promotion of eco-sustainability. The National Bank of Hungary has been exempted from the purview of the above. Who on earth cares how you can better your brand?

Q: Perpetual motion in spaces of different gravity? Imagine two locations with different amounts of gravity. I carry up a weight in low gravity, move it on this height over to the other place, and let it fall down there with higher gravity.

Wouldn't falling down release more energy than lifting up hast cost? If so, is it theoretically possible to generate such a transition between different levels of gravity near to each other?

A: The main point is that Newtonian gravity fields are conservative. What that means is that it is impossible to have a configuration like the one you drew without there being gravitational fields pointing to the left and to the right in the regions where you want to do the 'horizontal' transfer.
For example, you might try to achieve this on Earth by taking the usual uniform gravitational field and locating a very heavy mass just under the foot of the conveyor belt on the left. This will mean, though, that as you move your mass from the foot of that conveyor belt you will be fighting against the attraction of that very same mass, as shown with the red arrows:

The net result is that doing both of those horizontal transfers takes work, and in fact it must take exactly the same amount of work as what you've gained from lifting the object in the weaker field. There are, of course, many possible ways to achieve the fields you want, apart from the one in my image, but because all gravitational fields are the sum of attractive forces to a bunch of point masses, and the field of each point mass is conservative, you will always, necessarily, have cross-pointing fields like the one I pictured that will do away with any perpetual motion engine.

Restroom | Atlanta Custom Coach Inc.
Restrooms are not typically conversation pieces, but everybody will need them at some point! Whether you just need a toilet and sink, or perhaps a shower for longer trips we have you covered. Many units have multiple restrooms, each with its own style and character. But the most important aspect of a toilet…..does it reliably work?


JC or Junior College is a very critical stage of students' lives because this is the time they have to choose to take the path of A level program and this path leads to one important destination, which is succeeding in getting into a university. It is more of a do-or-die situation for many students who are under tremendous pressure from parents, teachers and peers alike. It is a 2-year academic course.
The scariest part is that if you can't make it to the university, you pretty much have no other alternative in your academic lives. It is like either you get admitted to a university or be prepared for a life-long misery and downfalls. On the other hand, students of Polytechnics can always opt for a substitute and do a diploma.
Thus, at this point in time a JC student has to take private tuitions to excel in their exams and ascertain their future. JC students are mature enough to evaluate them on their strengths and weaknesses. This means they can easily realize the specific subjects they lag behind in or are struggling to understand. They can speak with the private tutors on their own comfort and share their struggles. This will create a stronger relationship between the tutor and the student and will help tutor to only but thoroughly emphasize on the concepts that the students don't understand.
If you are still wondering why you should get a personal JC tuition, keep reading!
We understand that the students entering their JC level are already traumatized by the prevailing notion of its challenging environment and how it is hard to cope with the subjects. Without doubt, the level of difficulty of JC is high because it is meant to prepare students for A levels and subsequently for the university. Moreover, they are also expected to pass their mother tongue exams as well as the project work. Apart from that, they also have CCAs to cope up with. With all these pressures, they usually crash and burn.
A tuition center basically caters to a group of students simultaneously. This means that learning of individual child is hindered at the very basic level. Each child has their own learning capacity and strength and may not be able to match pace with their other tuition colleagues. Moreover, each student will have their own strengths and weaknesses, it is highly possible that a tutor in a tuition center is focusing on a particular subject that your child already knows but other children don't. So, in such a scenario the whole time of your child is being wasted and they will not come out learning anything new in that time.
On the other hand, a private tutor offers flexibility in visiting your house to give tuitions to your child rather than you travelling with your child all the way to the center. More than that, a private tutor will be able to assess your child in an effective manner and will evaluate how the child understand or picks up concepts. This will help him adopt a teaching technique that he will use on your child for maximum effectiveness. This way, you child will be able to get 100% of the tutor's attention and time and the teaching methodology will be exclusive to your child's learning capacity and skills.

Her Daughter Vanished Over 5 Years Ago. Yesterday, Mom Discovers This Letter In Her Mailbox
By Ellie Hall on September 5, 2022
Emily Wynell Pall was just 14-years-old when she went missing back from her Southport, Florida home back in 2013. While this was a missing person case, one part of the mystery was solved right off the bat.
Pall was seen leaving her home at 6:30 in the morning with a fully-packed suitcase and her Xbox. She left a note to her parents telling her she planned to leave, but that was the last they heard from her.
The family has spent years researching every possible as to the whereabouts of her daughter. They obviously worried about her well-being but had no idea for years how their beloved Emily was doing.
Their friends all knew about the missing girl, but nobody could find a trace of her anywhere. They were all shocked when Emily's mom Pam Massimiani posted on Facebook that her daughter had been found!
She wasn't actually found, but police have confirmed that Pam received a letter from Emily recently. She has remained cryptic about the contents of the letter ever since.
"To all our friends and extended family, we want to let you know that we have heard from Emily," she wrote. "We do not have any further information to share at the moment. Thank you for your support and love you have shown to our family."
This is a welcome relief for a family that has dealt with a lot of heartaches throughout the years. Not only is it confirmed that their daughter is alive, she reached out to them! But the fact that she wants to remain anonymous isn't surprising to anyone familiar with the case.
The initial police investigation found that Emily had researched how to leave home as a child, as well as methods for avoiding discovery afterward. But the leads all went dry after she got into the car, and nothing was discovered from her ever since – until now.
According to Pam, there were no open indications that her daughter planned to leave. Everything was totally normal up until the morning she actually left. In fact, the night before they had one of their typical hug sessions.
"We were just our usual selves, we hugged in the kitchen Saturday night, rocked back and forth. There were no clues," she said in an interview with WGHG.
The family was concerned for her safety, especially because she never reached out to them. With most adolescent missing person cases, this is a key indicator of whether they actually chose to leave. If the child gets back in touch at all, it's a good signifier that the child was not actually kidnapped.
Commenters on Daily Mail speculated on the story, as they tend to do.
"I think we're missing some very big details here as to why [she] left," wrote DJ Alison Wonderland.
"My daughter was kidnapped at 15. She reconnected years later but was unrecognizable mentally. Best of luck to this family," added Yippyea.
What do you think the best next steps to take would be for this family? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Coming up with PTA fundraising ideas for your school is a key activity for all PTA groups. Big events such as School fetes and School Disco's are fun ways to raise cash but they require a lot of planning and rely on having lots of volunteers to help out.
Here at mySchoolApp we have been looking into some alternative and possibly less onerous ways of raising much needed funds for your school. We have come up with eight easy ways to help put a few quid in the PTA coffers without too much effort.
1) Christmas/Easter quiz: Put together a quiz – either rope in the skills of a pub quiz fan, or use one of the online free quiz creators. Charge £1 or £2 to enter. This is always a good one to do before the Christmas or Summer holidays, as people will have time to spend working out the answers.
2) Fund-matching: Many corporate companies, such as banks, will fund match for an event for which the employee volunteers. Others have schemes that offer volunteers' time. It is always worth asking your parents whether their employer offers a fund matching scheme and if so, how your PTA fundraising efforts can benefit.
3) Online shopping portals: There are several sites, such as easyfundraising.org.uk, that allow schools and charities to collect donations when your Parents and Carers shop online. Encourage as many as possible to register and simply do their usual online shopping through the site. Each purchase generates a small donation. Why not run a competition at Christmas for the person who raises the most cash from their Christmas shopping?
4) Organise a foreign coin collection: There is always a little spare change lying around in people's homes. Odd coins and notes from countries visited on holiday, or from that last city break abroad. Get the children to bring it into school and have a big jar in a central place to make it easy. There are companies that will exchange the foreign currency for English cash!
5) Tea towels/Christmas cards: Take a look at many of the online companies that will turn children's artwork into gifts. These are great to sell to parents or other family members for a profit.
6) Recycled clothes: This can take a bit of organising but not lots of volunteers. Companies that recycle clothes will help you organise collections at school. Collection bags can be sent home with the children and then parents are asked to drop off their bags, full of good-quality unwanted clothing, at school on a certain date. A good one for just before half term or Easter when people might be having a clear out.
7) Art exhibition: We have come across a couple of companies that organise art exhibitions using the children's artwork. They do all the hard work, frame the artwork, bring the display boards, etc. You simply invite the parents and they buy the pictures. Of course a cut goes to the school PTA fundraising effort. Exciting for the children to see their art on display in a proper exhibition!
8) 5p Friday: Ask families to fill a Smarties tube (or plastic bottle) with small change and return by a certain date. You might just be amazed at the return.
Whichever PTA fundraising ideas you decide to take, make sure you advertise and communicate well with your parents and carers to get as many to take part as possible.
Be sure to keep parents up to date with targets and details so they can feel involved. Working towards a specific target – such as new computers/library books or play equipment – encourages more involvement than just raising 'funds'.
mySchoolApp offers a simple communication enabling your PTA to publish your upcoming events directly to Parents and Carers smartphones. The events can then be saved directly to their personal phone calendars. You can even send everyone FREE reminder messages the day before the event politely reminding them to attend.


Duet and WinkUp have posters this month, though the WinkUp poster is a KAGUYA poster and the Duet poster is a fairly lazy way of making a poster. Still it's good to see NEWS getting a few posters and now with an album and a tour over the first half of this year, let's hope there are more to come.
It's been a very long time since we've has so much NEWS activity to start off the year. Here's to 2015!

HomeEntertainmentAretha Franklin Awarded Posthumous Pulitzer Prize
Aretha Franklin Awarded Posthumous Pulitzer Prize
April 16, 2019 Staff Entertainment 0
R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the Queen of Soul.
By Ryan Grenoble, The Huffington Post
The Pulitzer Board announced Monday that it was honoring Aretha Franklin with a posthumous award, commemorating the Queen of Soul in the category of "special citations."
At an announcement ceremony at Columbia University, Pulitzer Prize administrator Dana Canedy specifically highlighted Franklin "for her indelible contribution to American music and culture for more than five decades."
The Pulitzer Prize is yet another feather in Franklin's cap. In 2005, President George W. Bush awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. She also won 18 Grammys.
Rolling Stone said Franklin had "America's greatest voice" following her death in August 2018, and wrote about her ability to reach people.
"This woman ain't entertainment," Luther Vandross, Franklin's friend and producer, said in 1982, according to the publication. "She's done opened the books to my life and told everybody. Like Roberta Flack used to say in 'Killing Me Softly,' 'I thought he found my letters and read them all out loud.' She was the spokesperson for a lot of people and how they feel."
The Pulitzer Board awarded this year's prize in music to Ellen Reid for her "bold new operatic work" called "p r i s m."
Last year, the board awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music to Kendrick Lamar for his album "Damn"; the rapper was the first nonclassical or jazz artist to win the award.

Scientists Explain Why Nobody Puts Cheddar on Pizza
Research confirms what margherita lovers already know: The perfect cheese is bendy, bubbly, and capable of getting brown. (In other words, mozzarella.)
Megan Garber
Denis Vrublevski/Shutterstock
Here is what happens, chemically, when you bake a pizza. (Warning: The following description will be ever-so-slightly disgusting.)
The water molecules contained in the cheese atop the pizza—all those little H2Os, trapped between the protein and the fat—heat up. In fairly short order, the water begins to boil. When that happens, the water becomes steam. But the steam is trapped in the cheese—inside all that protein and fat—so it can't evaporate into the surrounding air. Instead, it pushes against the surface of the cheese. The cheese, in turn, starts to bubble.
So that's what generally happens. What that basic process looks like in practice, though, varies greatly depending on which kind of cheese tops the pizza. If the cheese has more moisture, the bubbles the steam creates will be large. A less elastic cheese will produce smaller bubbles.
And that distinction, in turn, affects what is arguably the best part of a pizza: the cheese's ability to brown in the oven. All that bubbling and steaming causes the oil to leak out of the melting cheese, settling on the surface. Cheese with high moisture content and low fat content will create bubbles large enough to break that surface of oil, exposing the moisture in the bubble directly to the oven's heat—meaning that it evaporates, leaving the rest of the cheese to brown. Only some cheeses produce that effect, though. If a cheese is low-moisture and low-fat, it will burn; if it's high-moisture and high-fat it will simply stay greasy without browning.
All of which helps to explain why, when it comes to pizza, there is one cheese to rule them all—and why that cheese is, greasy hands down, mozzarella. Mozzarella hits that high-moisture, low-fat sweet spot that makes for a bendable, brownable pizza topping. And now, thanks to a team of food scientists at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, we know a bit more about why that is.
The researchers, the BBC reports, developed a high-resolution camera, along with specialized computer software, that are able to measure, with unprecedented precision, the blistering and browning of pizza cheese. They then put various kinds of cheeses to the pizza-topping test—because quantification. Because curiosity. Because science.
The experiment went like this: The team sprinkled grated forms of several different cheeses—cheddar, colby, edam, emmental, gruyere, provolone, and, of course, mozzarella—on pizza crusts and baked them in an oven. (The baking time was the same for each variety, as was, for each experimental "pizza," a lack of sauce.) The team then used its camera to capture the color uniformity of the cheese—browned spots indicating a lack of uniformity—to render an analysis of a cheese's ability to brown. They also subjected the cheese to what the BBC delightfully terms "a standard panel of cheese tests," including measurements of elasticity, moisture content, the amount of oil released as the cheese melts, and the temperature at which it melts.
The team's results, recently published in the Journal of Food Science, confirm that browning, as Bryony James, the the study leader, explains in a video accompanying the paper, "is dictated by a combination of the composition and the mechanical properties of the cheese itself, as well as every other component of the pizza." They also confirm what generations of pizza bakers and pizza enthusiasts have long known: that pizza, in its Platonic Form, is topped with mozzarella. Ooey, gooey, chemically perfect mozzarella.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Calls Colin Kaepernick Anthem Protest "Dumb and Disrespectful"
By Elliot Hannon
Oct 10, 20162:00 PM
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has achieved almost mythical status in the achy breaky hearts of the left for being part fierce advocate of liberal causes on the court, part the sharp-tongued, truth-bomb-dropping grandma you never had. On Monday, in an interview with Yahoo News' Katie Couric, Ginsberg showed many of her most ardent supporters her unpredictable side when she called San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick-inspired National Anthem protests "dumb and disrespectful."
From Yahoo News:
With more and more football players across the country refusing to stand for the national anthem before games, Justice Ginsburg called the protest "dumb and disrespectful." When asked by Couric how she feels about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and others athletes, refusing to stand for the anthem, Ginsburg replied, "I think it's really dumb of them."
"Would I arrest them for doing it? No," Ginsburg elaborated. "I think it's dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it's a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn't lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act." Couric then asked, "But when it comes to these football players, you may find their actions offensive, but what you're saying is, it's within their rights to exercise those actions?"
"Yes," said Ginsburg. "If they want to be stupid, there's no law that should be preventive. If they want to be arrogant, there's no law that prevents them from that. What I would do is strongly take issue with the point of view that they are expressing when they do that."
