The first interplanetary mission of the United Arab Emirates successfully took off from the southern tip of Japan: a spacecraft was sent to Mars.
The spacecraft, called "hope", took off from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan over the Japanese H-IIA rocket. The dispatched vehicle will now spend the next seven months in deep space. It will position himself on Mars in February 2021 and collect valuable information on both climate changes and the atmosphere.
Delivering samples from Mars to the Earth: Mars 2020!
Government officials designed this project as a bold way to inspire young people in 2014 and to celebrate the country's 50th anniversary in December 2021.
For now, it's all going well. A few minutes after the spacecraft was deployed from the rocket, engineers were afraid that the vehicle had not opened one of the two solar panels. However, the UAE eventually confirmed that both panels were deployed. The mission team stated that they are in contact with the spacecraft and that Hope is in good shape. Engineers will continue to analyze data from the spacecraft and make updates on Hope's health in the coming hours.
"The years of hard work and dedication have resulted greatly," said United Arab Emirates Ambassador to the USA, Yousef Al Otaiba, during the live broadcast after the launch. "Thanks to the team effort of the mission, the UAE's first spacecraft, which was only a theory and idea six years ago, now flies towards another planet in space. This is a great success. But this is just the beginning. "
Coming to this point proved to be a particularly challenging process for the UAE, the experience of launching satellites that have been observing the Earth so far. Engineers and scientists only had six years to prepare for research this year, and they commissioned their governments to build (not buy) the spacecraft themselves within a $200 million budget for development and launch.
The team behind the task decided they didn't want to go alone. They have partnered with several academic institutions in the United States, including the University of Colorado at Boulder, Arizona State University, and the University of California, Berkeley, with previous experience in designing instruments or equipment for deep space probes. This great partnership has allowed the United Arab Emirates' team to develop known spacecraft designs and use existing testing infrastructure and gain knowledge from experienced aerospace engineers.
The excitement is high for the big test. It is known that the propulsors must make a 30-minute burn in order for Hope to be taken into orbit of Mars. This event is planned to take place in February 2021.

A car struck a Cedar Springs Middle School student attempting to cross the street earlier this week.
According to Sgt. Todd Probst, with the Kent County Sheriff's Office, the accident occurred on Tuesday, November 13, about 7 a.m. He said a 13-year-old girl was on the edge of the road on Northland Drive, about 20 feet south of Beckett Blvd (at Northland Estates), when she stepped into the roadway to cross to the Middle School and was hit by the front passenger side of a vehicle traveling southbound on Northland.
The impact sent her flying into the air, and she landed on her hip, but reportedly had no visible injuries. She did complain of some hip pain and was privately transported to the hospital by her parents.
A bus driver nearby called the accident into dispatch. The driver of the car that hit her, a 16-year-old male, stopped at the scene. The driver of the vehicle following that car also stopped and was a witness at the scene. "From what the driver told us and what the driver of the vehicle following told us, it does not sound like speed was a factor," said Probst. "The driver was not at fault." He added that the flashers on the speed limit signs were flashing at the time showing the speed limit was 40 mph.
Some students may have seen the accident. "My daughter said that she heard a thud and turned and saw her friend lying in the grass across from the school," a parent told the Post.
School Superintendent Scott Smith sent out an email to parents who had students on bus #7156 and may have seen the accident. He explained the 7th grader was struck while attempting to cross Northland Drive and transported by her parents to the hospital. "Staff members and counselors were available throughout the day today to support students as needed at Red Hawk as well as the Middle and High Schools. If you find that your daughter/son needs additional support to process the events of this morning, please reach out to her/his Principal.
"We are thankful that the student was not seriously injured in the accident. We are also grateful for the members of our community who assisted at the scene until the first responders arrived. We appreciate the efforts of the first responders, the bus driver, and members of the Cedar Springs team this morning.
"Student safety is always our priority. We will assess this situation to see if there is anything we can do to improve safety measures for our students as they make their way to and from school," Smith said.
Sgt. Probst said that the City and the Kent County Sheriff's Office are going to look into that area near the Middle School also to see if there's anything that can be done.
A freak accident sent two people from Solon Township to the hospital Wednesday afternoon.
According to both the Kent County Sheriff Department and a witness at the scene, a Chevrolet Cruze was heading south on Algoma about 2:06 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, just north of 14 Mile, when high winds toppled a tree and it landed on the roof of the car.
"They panicked and swerved and flipped the car into the ditch," explained Brian Bos, of Moline, who was traveling behind the car and saw it happen. He immediately called 911, then went to check on the occupants. "They were pretty shaken up," he said.
Shortly after the accident, winds took down another tree just north of the scene.
According to Kent County Sheriff Deputy Michael Allen, the two occupants in the vehicle, driver Sheldon Lennox, 56, and Bobbi Scholten, 52, suffered minor injuries and were transported to Spectrum Butterworth by Rockford Ambulance. They were reportedly on their way to Florida.
A Stanton man suffered multiple injuries last Wednesday evening, September 16, when the motorcycle he was riding hit a cow in the road.
According to the Montcalm County Sheriff Department, the accident occurred at approximately 8:25 p.m., on Sidney Road, near Hillman Road, in Sidney Township. They reported that Mark Olmstead, 57, of Stanton, was headed east on Sidney Road, on his 2006 Harley Davidson, when he struck a black cow that had entered the roadway. Witnesses reported seeing the cow and chasing it out of the road, but it came back on to the road and was struck before the witnesses had a chance to return to their vehicle.
Olmstead was flown by AeroMed to Spectrum Butterworth and was reported last week to be in stable condition. His current condition is unknown.
The reportedly belonged to Dennis Baese, of Elsie. He had been made aware the cow was out of its pen, and was headed to the area to get it when the crash occurred.
Montcalm County Emergency Medical Services, Aeromed, and the Sheridan Fire Department assisted at the scene. The accident remains under investigation.

A Gowen man was injured Monday when he dumped his motorcycle while traveling on the curve on 18 Mile, just south of Fieldstone Meadows.
According to Kent County Sheriff Deputy Scott Abbatoy, the 58-year-old man was traveling toward Cedar Springs, on 18 Mile, when his foot got stuck under the brake, and he tipped the bike. He was not wearing a helmet, and suffered a head injury, as well as lacerations on his hands. He was sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Cedar Springs Fire and Rescue and Rockford Ambulance assisted at the scene.
Police identified icy road conditions as a factor in a car accident that killed a Gowen woman Sunday.
According to the Kent County Sheriff Department, they were called to the scene of a one-car accident on Sunday, January 18, in Oakfield Township. Police determined that Debbie Lee Rauch, 56, of Gowen, was traveling southbound on Lincoln Lake, about 7:42 a.m., in a Jeep Wrangler, when she attempted to pass another vehicle. She then lost control of the Jeep, which left the road and struck a tree. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police determined the icy roads were a factor and alcohol was not involved.
An accident in Reynolds Township Tuesday sent three people to the hospital.
According to the Montcalm County Sheriff's Office, the crash occurred about 3:45 p.m. on M-82 near Almy School Road on December 9.
Police said that Jennifer Christensen, 23, of Howard City, was traveling eastbound and beginning a left turn into a private drive, when she was struck by a westbound vehicle driven by Paul Dupont, 55 years old of Newaygo. The vehicles slid off the road and struck a pedestrian, 16-year-old Felicia Christensen of Howard City, who was retrieving a trash can near the edge of the road.
Jennifer Christensen and her 3-year-old passenger, along with Felicia Christensen were transported to Spectrum Health Butterworth for non-life threatening injuries. Dupont was uninjured.
Montcalm County Sheriff's Deputies were assisted at the scene by Montcalm County Emergency Medical Services and the Howard City Fire Department. The crash remains under investigation.
A Rockford man is in critical condition and a Cedar Springs couple is in stable condition after a traffic accident in Lowell Township Sunday morning, October 26.
According to the Kent County Sheriff Department, Joseph Kelly, 66, of Rockford, was driving a 1999 Chevrolet Prism southbound on Segwun Avenue, about 9:26 a.m., when he failed to stop at the stop sign at Cascade Road.

What You Need To Know About GMOs
by Cathy Harris, Non-GMO Health and Wellness Coach
We are in the biggest food fight of our lives. Now that we have educated you on how vaccines are full of heavy metals with our FOURTH ACTION STEP, now let's look at the food supply system in this country and how it too is full of heavy metals that turns your brain off.
If we are ever going to wake people up from their SELF-INDUCED comas from eating processed foods, which are mostly GMOs, full of heavy metals, then you need to send this e-newsletter to everyone that you know.
This e-newsletter is our FIFTH action step, which will educate you and your family on why the food supply system in this country is under attack, not by some foreign terrorist, but by your own government (FDA.gov, EPA.gov, USDA.gov, etc.).
GMOs are a "PERFECT STORM" for disease.
Because of what has happened to the food in this country, many people think GMO stands for "GOD Move Over" (quote by ResponsibleTechnology.org ) and that alone should tell you about the seriousness of eating GMOs, which are now "airborne."
This means not only are you exposed to GMOs through the food supply system, but now they are in the air that you breathe inside and outside of your home.
It's all meant to be confusing and to leave you in
the dark, but when you hear or see the words:
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Genetically Modified (GM)
Genetically Altered
Genetically Engineered
All of these words means the exact same thing. The foods are called "FrankenFoods" after Frankenstein the monster and everyone remembers how he was put together - with dead body parts. And this is what they are doing to your food.
How Are Genetically Modified Foods Created?
GMO seeds are made or created in a lab by biotech scientists. It's similar to cloning foods or animals.
Biotech scientists (many are now whistleblowers) took the DNA of plants and the DNA of animals and mixed it with pesticides and herbicides -- then they mixed in bacteria and fungus -- to try to create some type of "superbreed" - a plant or animal that grows faster, bigger, and stronger.
They said they put the pesticides and herbicides
into the plant seeds so they would not have to spray crops, which would save them money.
They also said they invented these foods because the world is running out of food, but this is all about money for biotech companies and the government and to keep you sick -- because the medical and pharmaceutical industry is BIG BUSINESS.
They have produced crops that have become "Bug Resistant" and "Weed Resistant" and have ended up with "Super Bugs" and "Super Weeds," which has been a nightmare for farmers.
This means even poorer health for families because they are using 4 to 5 times more "Round-Up Ready Weed Killer," which is extremely toxic. This is also killing off all the bees and butterflies, which are needed to pollinate crops.
The biotech companies are essentially "self-regulating" -- just like the banking industry has been. That should be cause for great alarm! We all know what happened to the banking industry in the U.S. in 2007-2008.
We know that over 90% of all processed foods (any
foods in boxes, packages, cans, jars, or other containers - a food that has been altered) in grocery stores are Genetically Modified (GM), but it is estimated that EVERY PROCESSED FOOD contain some component or a derivative of a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO), especially corn and soybeans, which are the two GMO foods found in all processed foods.
Genetically Modified (GM) foods were first put on the U.S. market around the early 1990s or even sooner. So if you have a child or grandchild that was born during the early 90s or after and have eaten foods strictly from neighborhood grocery stores or 100% conventional foods, especially processed foods --
then you have a "GMO Baby," which means they will come down with some type of sickness or disease down the line. They will also have kids that will get sick because GMO foods changes your DNA and affects many generations to come.
Which Foods Are GMOs?
Tomatoes were one of the first Genetically Modified (GM) agriculture crops. They had tomatoes that lasted for 30 days. C orn and soybeans are the two GMO foods that are in 90% of all the processed foods in this country and many people have food allergies because of corn, so food allergies are a big issue with foods today and soybeans (or soy) causes cancer.
Just some of the foods that are classified as GMO foods -- that you should always eat "organic" include:
sugar/sugar beets
Hawaiian papayas
cotton/cottonseed
Which Animals Are GMOs?
Just some of the animals that are GMOs are cows, pigs, turkeys and chickens. With GMO chickens, it takes just 7 days for these chickens to lay an egg. In the past, this process took 3 weeks. The GMO chickens can't even urinate. The urine goes back up into them and this is why GMO chickens taste so good to those consuming it.
Who is Monsanto?
Monsanto is a "profit-motivated" biotech chemical company created in 1901 in St. Louis to oversee agriculture and plants in the environment. It has been discovered that Monsanto is not only poisoning plants and animals, but humans also.
There has been no "long-term" studies of GMOs because the government and biotech companies won't allow it, however, there are several biotech scientists, that have become whistleblowers.
For decades, the Monsanto Corporation of St. Louis has been slowly dominating the world's supply of seeds for crops. Monsanto has spent over $30 billion in recent years buying numerous U.S. seed companies and now they own up to 90% of ALL the seed companies in the U.S.
As a result, they now control the U.S. seed business. Over 50% of all U.S. crops are now owned by Monsanto. So they own half the crops in the U.S. Their motto "He who owns the seeds -- control the world's food supply."
They have patented these GMO seeds forcing farmers to buy new seeds every year. If farmers fail to hang onto a supply of 'traditional' seeds, they will be forced to buy these Genetically Modified (GM) seeds, which again, will automatically cause sickness and disease.
Even though farmers have filed several lawsuits against Monsanto, farmers were never in a position to win these lawsuits against Monsanto, because President Obama signed into law the "Monsanto Protection Act" (Seeds of Death - FULL MOVIE).
Besides creating Genetically Modified (GM) foods, Monsanto also created:
Agent Orange (which caused many men to get cancer from the Vietnam War).
PCPs (which are poisons that were leaked from the plant in Anniston, AL into the water system, where everyone around the plant and up to miles away died of cancer).
DDTs (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, which is an insecticide, toxic to humans and animals, when swallowed or absorbed through the skin, that has been banned in the U.S. since 1972).
Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) (growth hormone found TODAY in ALL beef, milk, chicken, eggs, etc.). All chickens, like beef, today (unless "Grass Fed") are fed "GMO feed."
Aspartame (a sugar substitute in all sodas today, especially diet sodas, that causes brain cancers).
Roundup Ready Weed Killer (poisonous herbicide, which is currently being sprayed on all playgrounds, football, baseball, soccer fields, etc. -- so get ready for an EXPLOSION of sick children).
Who is Michael Taylor?
Michael Taylor started out as a lobbyist then he became a staff attorney with FDA.gov. Then he became a lawyer representing Monsanto and then he went back to work at Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a 6 figure salary.
He then left FDA to go back to Monsanto as their "Vice President". Then he returned to FDA as President Obama's "Food Czar" over FDA food policies and this is why GMOs have been able to spread throughout the land because of the government (FDA.gov, USDA.gov and EPA.gov) food policies.
The FDA is refusing to allow farmers to certify their crops as "organic." The FDA is making every effort to prevent the public from knowing the truth about GMOs in their foods. They've claimed that requiring Genetically Engineered foods to be accurately labeled, would be "confusing" to consumers, but basically they want to leave people in the dark.
Where Was the Testing Ground for GMOs?
The testing ground for GMOs was in India, where over the last 10 years over 100,000 Indian farmers, have killed themselves. They not only killed themselves because of coming down with Morgellons disease and other diseases from eating GMOs, but once they used the GMO seeds, they could no longer plant other foods because the soil or land can be damaged by planting GMO seeds. So basically their livelihoods were over.
It's estimated that one Indian farmer will commit suicide every 30 minutes. These are young farmers, who are usually around 19 or 20 years old. They have no hope for their future.
India also has the LARGEST BLIND POPULATION in the world, which is another symptom of eating GMO foods and GMOs are why there are so many people in the U.S. -- going blind. A large portion of seniors can't and won't drive after dark.
Where Are GMO Foods Grown?
GMOs are now in over 150 countries, but Austraila and Europe said "No To GMOs." I personally visited "Monsantoland" (St. Louis) in 2013, while on a 15 city tour, and I counted over 200 soybeans crops on my way into St. Louis, the home of Monsanto.
So this is where a large portion of soybeans are grown. A large portion of corn is grown in Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa, Jeffrey Smith's, Founder of the "Institute for Responsible Technology," backyard, so this is why he got started in his GMO campaign.
Originally, the way that GMOs made it to your table is they were imported into this country with the approval of FDA.gov, EPA.gov and USDA.gov (aka "The Government") or grown in the midwest in St. Louis, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and other states, but now they are grown all over the U.S. So it's always important to deal with local "organic" growers.
What are the Repercussions of Eating GMOs?
Because they mix pesticides and herbicides in seeds, when these seeds are created in a lab, there is no way to avoid eating "heavy metals," which is a neurotoxin, that causes your brain and nervous system to give out.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has said that animal studies show that GM foods are linked to brain issues such as mental health issues, brain cancer, brain fog, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis (MS),
Parkinson's, autism and other birth effects such as kids born with smaller brains and low birth weight, food allergies, antibiotic resistant diseases and other new diseases, toxins, digestive issues, constipation, nutritional issues, organ damage, reproductive disorders, miscarriages, infertility or lower sperm counts, immune problems, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, blindness, accelerated aging - just to name a few.
Which is the Largest Group Being Affected by GMOs?
Children are the largest group being affected by GMOs because they have a weak and undeveloped immune system. Just some of the issues with children include:
1 out of 2 kids today have a chronic illness.
1 out of 6 kids are learning disabled.
Over 25% of kids have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
One out of every two males (or 80%) will have autism by the year 2032.
Cancer is the biggest killer of kids ages 15 and younger because of GMOs.
How Do We Remove GMOs From Our Bodies
Since GMOs turns the brain off and turn most people into "Zombies," I suggest you do all the following to remove GMOs from your system:
Eat Natural, Organic Healing and Brain Foods: The only way to remove some of these GMOs out of your body is to start eating "ORGANIC" foods in as natural forms as possible, especially healing foods like green foods, which are also known as "brain foods."
Take Brain Supplements: Just two of the best supplements for your brain is Vitamin D3, which is also the "mood vitamin" and "Omega 3 Fish or Flaxseed Oil" supplements.
Engage in Brain Exercises: The two best exercises for the brain is "yoga" and "meditation."
Engage in Regular Detoxifications: You can also engage in regular detoxifications of your organs, to make sure they work properly, because most people in this country, die from organ failure.
Clean Up Air Quality in Your Home: You can clean up your inside environment ("air quality") by using natural body and cleaning products because GMOs are "airborne."
Which Groups Are Fighting Back?
Just some of the groups fighting back against GMOs, that you should join include:
ResponsibleTechnology.org
MillionsAgainstMonsanto.org
JustLabelIt.org
Occupy-Monsanto.com
NonGMOProject.com
MomsAcrossAmerica.com
FoodandWaterWatch.org
Their main goals are:
To educate as many as possible about the devastating effects of eating Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), especially healthcare practitioners, patient advocacy and support groups, parents, schools, campuses, youth, health-conscious consumers and natural products industry, media and messaging, chefs and food service, green groups, spiritual and religious groups, etc.
Ask everyone to switch to "ORGANIC" foods.
Ask everyone to contact their legislators in every state and urge them to introduce bills to label foods as GMOs. If your politicians support GMOs, start to vote them out of office.
GMO Movies and Films to Watch
Your goal should be to sit down with your family and watch the following GMO movies. Watch the movies more than once. You can order the movies online and watch or buy the DVDs and watch with all your family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues and have a discussion after watching. The goal is not just to save yourself, but save the people that you deeply care about.
Just some of the GMO movies highly recommended include:
Food Inc. Documentary
Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives
Consumed: What Are You Eating
The World According to Monsanto

The GMO fight is far from over, but the wind was
knocked out of the movement in July 2016, when President Obama signed "The DARK Act" (Deny Americans the Right to Know).
We still need proactive campaigns in each city. Now to tell if a food product is a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO), consumers will need to use a smart phone to scan the barcode of packaged foods. T he problem is most poor folks don't have smart phones, so it's important to conduct research before going shopping.
What you really need to understand is that the GMO Movement, the Vaccination Movement, and also the Microchipping Movement, is all ONE MOVEMENT -- "The Safe Family Movement" so everyone need to get aboard this movement by watching the movies, reading the articles and books and joining the groups recommended in this e-newsletter. And tell everyone you love to also do the same.
When I was first trained on GMOs by Jeffrey Smith, Founder of
by a 4-part webinar and was listed on their Speaker's Bureau
there were NO ARTICLES at all on the three (3) largest search websites on the internet, which are google.com, yahoo.com and youtube.com -- on GMOs.
Eventually articles were written on google.com and yahoo.com by experts in the GMO movement and youtube.com presentations were made so I was able to educate myself even further on GMOs.
But today all you have to do is sit down and read articles and watch movies by GMO experts. So there is no way you or your family can't be educated today on GMOs.
Also join my National Non-GMO Health Movement blog and join us on facebook at "The National Non-GMO Movement."
If you are a Speaker or Wellness Coach, speaking on health and still don't know anything about GMOs, or if you are a Speaker and would like to speak on GMOs, then sign up for online training with Jeffrey Smith at ResponsibleTechnology.org.
Again, as we teach you about different topics in "The Essential Women's Movement," we will also discuss ways to start careers in particular fields so once we educate you on your health, we will also incorporate business ideas.
Also look for two upcoming health books this year from my company, AngelsPress.com, Overcoming Food Deserts in Your Community: Why You Need To Start A Home Garden, Community Garden, Food Co-Op or Food Coalition and The Safe Family Movement: What You Need To Know About GMOs, Vaccinations, Clean Air and Water.
Meanwhile, I am available to work with you through my 6 workshops or consultations -- in person, by phone or video (click here).
ACTION STEPS (HOMEWORK)
Transition from processed foods to fresh, raw, organic foods.
Remove GMOs from your system.
Eat brain foods and take brain supplements.
Start engaging in brain exercises.
Watch GMO movies and read GMO articles and books.
Join several groups fighting against GMOs.
Just Say No To GMO
Black people are into
"edutainment." So where are all
the black rappers? They need
to make videos about GMOs.

Message from "The Essential Women's Movement for
African American Women"
Hi Everyone:
This is our Fifth Action Step since forming
"The Essential Women's Movement for African American Women." After reading this e-newsletter and seeing what has happened to the food in this country, surely you should realize that the ONLY CHOICE that you now have is to "GO ORGANIC,"
which was our First Action Step.
Please go back and read our original press release and e-newsletter so you can fully understand what we are trying to accomplish. Again, this movement is for African American women to come together and mentor an entire new generation of young folks, while we share information, uplift and empower each other.
I am still collecting a list of all Natural and Holistic healers from all over the country to share with everyone. If you can travel for pleasure, surely you can travel for your health.
If we are moving too slowly for you then read my first health book, which has some great health information so that you can start feeling much better in 30 days "How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide To Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days" (Series 3).
Or if you would like to skip ahead and start a business or move your business to the next level, then read my business books. Read "The New CEO: 185 Easy-To-Set Up Businesses for Youth and Adult Entrepreneurs" -- if you don't have any idea what type of business to start.
Read "How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide To Starting Your Own Business" (Series 2) -- if you already have a business, but would like to know more about how businesses work. The book list 30 ways to finance a business and 30 ways to market a business.
Hopefully, once businesses are educated through our movement, they will be able to create thriving "black business districts" in their cities.
New Motto for Movement
Just one of our mottos for the new movement will be " OneMillionClassrooms.com, " because we are preparing to teach, teach, teach in your homes, your family members and friend's homes, and in many communities nationwide. So get out your pen, paper and recording devices and prepare to learn.

"Reefs in the Baltic Sea"
The fishery resources of the Baltic Sea tend to decrease, despite of extensive management measures. This applies also for the Western part of the Baltic Sea and, thus, for the coastal region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The project "Artificial reef - Nienhagen" (2002 to 2008) searched for alternative opportunities to stabilize the resources for industrialized fishing in addition to the conventional management measures such as minimum length allowed to be landed, minimum mesh size, temporary fishing bans and temporarily closed areas. As a result, a large-scale artificial underwater habitat was created offshore Nienhagen as recruitment, growth and rest zone for occurring fish species. Scientific investigations on this reef proved an increase of the fishing value of this sea area. In addition, an opportunity to use the red alga Delesseria sanguinea economically was verified, thus, announcing an additional source of income for fishing companies. Based on the results of the predecessor project, a new orientation of the research project took place.

PILC, along with the Institute of Community Research and Development at the University of Wolverhampton, Project 17, ASIRT and Migrants' Rights Network, has published a report into the support provided by English local authorities to people with no recourse to public funds (NRPF) during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Our key research findings were as follows:
There was a lack of information available for people with NRPF on how to access support during the pandemic
People with NRPF who contracted Covid-19 were particularly likely to die or become seriously ill
People with NRPF struggled to access food and shelter during the pandemic, with local-authority 'gatekeeping' continuing to be a major issue
Local authorities have statutory duties towards two categories of people with NRPF: families with 'children in need' and adults with care needs. But there are significant variations in how these duties are implemented. Many migrants in need of support were unable to access their entitlements before Covid-19.
During the pandemic, local authorities were called upon by central government to provide support to a third group of people with NRPF who would not normally be eligible for assistance: single homeless adults without care needs. Our research shows that, while some councils put in place effective emergency support for this group, the England-wide response of local authorities was frequently characterised by confusion, a lack of information about support options, and gaps in essential provision (e.g. food).
Our research focuses on the period during which the UK was in 'lockdown'. But the problems highlighted in our report continue. Local authorities continue to be underfunded and many people with NRPF still live in destitution.
It is unclear what will happen to homeless adults with NRPF who have no statutory entitlement to support as public-health concerns subside. No new legislation or statutory guidance has been introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to amend the entitlement to local-authority support of people with NRPF who would not ordinarily be eligible.
The effect of the absence of new legislation or statutory guidance has been twofold. Firstly, the support provided to this group has been inconsistent and unpredictable both within and across local authorities. Secondly, it has been difficult for individuals or their advocates to effectively challenge local authorities in cases where single NRPF adults have been refused support or accommodation or where the accommodation or support offered has been inadequate.
Our research indicates that while some local authorities are trying to respond in a way that respects people's rights and dignity, others do not want to continue to support people with NRPF, with a number planning to resort to so-called 'voluntary returns' or 'reconnection'. In the view of many of our research participants, only an urgent end to the NRPF system can adequately address the problems that have been highlighted by COVID-19.

Family tribute to Anthony Lavender
The family of Anthony (also known as Tony) Lavender have today, Wednesday 5 January, paid tribute to him.
Mr Lavender, who would have been 80 years old today, was found collapsed with a head injury at address on Woodhall Road on Wednesday, 29 December. CPR was commenced and the North West Ambulance Service attended but he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
David Lavender, 37, has now been charged with Anthony's murder and has been remanded in custody.
Anthony's family have issued the following tribute:
"Tony, our beloved brother and uncle, should have celebrated his 80th birthday today, but tragically, it was not to be.
"Tony was a kind and generous man who lived his life to the full and will be missed by all those who knew him.
"As a family, we would like to extend our thanks to the officers and paramedics who tried to save Tony, and to say thank you to his friends and neighbours for their beautiful words and the floral tributes left for him.
"We will make sure that Tony is not forgotten."
Anthony's family have asked for privacy as they grieve for their loss.

New conflicts require better coordination among international actors
The new contemporary conflicts facing us are more difficult to resolve. The forms of action taken by international actors coming to the aid of the most fragile societies must be reviewed if we are to boost their impact.

Forms of war have changed since World War II. Virtually all contemporary conflicts are intra-State. As such, their belligerents are not States but armed groups fighting one another or waging asymmetric warfare against government forces. This violence is fueled by acute social crises and the internal dysfunctions of the societies involved.
In an increasingly interconnected world, these local grievances are now linked to regional and even international issues. The causes for the revolt by Boko Haram in Nigeria, for example, are to be found the in the country's local political dynamics, yet the group wages actions in southern Nigeria (attacks in the capital, Abuja), in neighboring countries (Niger, Chad, Cameroon) and internationally (the group became affiliated with the Islamic State in 2015). This overlap of local and international has allowed Boko Haram to take root in a vast cross-border territory, to the point where it has been able to challenge the armies of several States for the past nearly ten years.
Because of their dual social and cross-border nature, contemporary conflicts are difficult to resolve and are changing the forms of action carried out by the different professional communities that come to the aid of the most fragile societies.
International actors: a distribution of roles out of step with the times
The institutional architecture of international aid was built on the rubble of World War II and then the Cold War. For that reason, it was designed to meet the challenges of inter-State conflicts. This architecture revolves around a perceived sequence of phases: (1) a conflict phase, followed by (2) a negotiation phase for peace agreements paving the way for (3) reconstruction.
This perception of sequential phases leads to a distribution of roles for military, diplomatic, humanitarian and development actions whereby each actor "plays its part" in a relatively autonomous way. In short, the military takes action during hostilities, diplomats during negotiations, and donors during the crisis-resolution phase.
However, repeated cycles of violence and the blurring of the line between war and peace are calling into question these silo approaches. In reality, contemporary wars accentuate the interdependence among these various actors. For example:
Donors cannot work on the ground without a minimum of security, and the military cannot withdraw before donors have dealt with the social breeding ground of the crisis (security–development nexus).
Without a political solution to the crisis, donors cannot act as a lever for peace agreement negotiations in order to respond to the social demands of armed groups (diplomacy–development nexus).
Peace agreement negotiations no longer allow for immediate withdrawal of deployed troops, creating a situation that reshapes the relationship between defense and diplomatic actors (security–diplomacy nexus).
Humanitarian aid workers must now think their actions in the long term and therefore link their actions with donors (humanitarian-action–development nexus).
Complex wars require a change in approach
The fact that crises are more regional in nature has pushed each of these professional communities to create coordination mechanisms so that action can be made according to the scale of the conflict. In the Sahel, for example, the "G5 Sahel" (a coalition of Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Mauritania) speeded up the creation of a "Joint Force" to take action in border areas. The Sahel Alliance, created in 2017 at the initiative of certain donors, coordinates the action of the major development partners in the region. In the diplomatic sphere, a special envoy for the Sahel was appointed to "maintain overall coherence of action" in a cross-cutting way across the five countries.
International actors face obstacles to coordination in fragile situations
The experiences of Afghanistan and the Sahel show us the difficulties of trying to reconcile professional communities whose goals, programming timetables, decision-making processes, and appetite for risk are different. In theory, these obstacles could be overcome by better consolidation of strategic plans, creation of coordination mechanisms, joint programming among the different actors, and harmonization of the ways actions are implemented, etc. However, several centrifugal forces remain obstacles to this harmonization.
Such obstacles can be seen among the actors of diplomacy, defense, and development ("3D").
The top objectives of the 3D actors are not always aligned. The military, for example, view development aid as an instrument for "acceptance of the armed force", whereas diplomats view it as a political and visibility tool. Meanwhile, development actors, with their "ownership" approach, are more inclined to promote action by partners in the target country.
The time frame of the action is also difficult to harmonize. The pace of action is hugely different for each of these actors, with the effect that there are often limited possibilities for dialog. Indeed, there can be several years of difference between the time frame of a military operation programmed over a few weeks and the implementation of an infrastructure project.
Obstacles can also be found within a single professional community.
Weak State capacities in the target country and the virtual impossibility of agreement on an external actor to take charge of managing an action make coordination an awkward and difficult exercise. In the Sahel, for example, several military forces with different mandates coexist: the Malian national forces act alongside MINUSMA, the Barkhane force, the Joint Force, the EU Training Mission (EUTM), the European mission to support Mali's internal security capabilities (EUCAP Sahel Mali), and the Tabuka force (which brings together the special forces of several European countries).
The pursuit of multiple strategic objectives can also weaken the coordination agenda. That is why development actors seek to maximize the impact of their projects (poverty-reduction objective), all the while including possible aspects whose nature may be economic (economic diplomacy, etc.) or political (levers with national authorities). These secondary objectives can create "free rider" phenomena that undermine both the relationship of trust among peers and, ultimately, coordination.
Coordination: a major challenge in new conflicts
Academic literature shows that the conditions for successful coordination depend simultaneously on the number of actors (the smaller the better) and on how close their approaches (common objectives) are, this within an environment marked by low economic or political stakes (e.g. trade, direct investment, etc.). As the number of actors increases and/or the economic and geopolitical stakes become greater, coordination becomes more difficult to achieve.
In recent years, the increase in the number of actors responding to crises has exacerbated international fragmentation and led to the carrying out of a collection of diverse ad hoc actions. This is what happened in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, when the sudden and disorderly arrival of a myriad of organizations had a controversial overall impact on Haitian communities. Moreover, when major international partners (the United States and others) give priority to their national agendas to the detriment of collective action, the coordination agenda is necessarily weakened.
This situation surely explains part of the reason why the international community has failed in crisis resolution in recent wars, such as those in Afghanistan, Syria, and Nigeria. And so, in the face of contemporary crises, coordination remains a major challenge.

There are more and more reports that Apple is going to "miss" the presumed schedule for releasing the next iPhone, which is being conventionally referred to as the iPhone 5, as opposed to iPhone 4 Pro or any other possible designation. But the name doesn't matter in the scheme of things. The question is when it should be arriving, and is there actually a delay?
The most obvious question is this: When did Apple announce a shipping date for the iPhone 4's successor? Exactly! They didn't. We only assume it must arrive this summer, because that's the history of this product. But one thing's sure about Apple, and that is that assumptions do not necessarily apply to their actual product release strategy. The other question is whether an iPhone 5 is truly needed? It's not as if sales of the current model are lagging.
Of course, we'll all learn more about Apple's sales picture during their quarterly conference call with financial analysts on Wednesday. Before that, it's all speculation, even those reports about the total sales of Macs during the last quarter, or the sales of any other Apple product. I'll repeat that: It's still speculation until the actual numbers are released by Apple.
So without the real information, Apple watchers in the media and the financial community are looking at tea leaves, rumors, surveys, and other signs of what Apple is up to. Possible sources of information include those who provide information about the manufacturing plans by some of Apple's component suppliers. If they appear to be gearing up to provide a large shipment of parts to Apple, by way of their contract manufacturers, it might indicate that the production lines are gearing up for a new model.
Unfortunately, there's nothing coming from the supply chain to offer a clue about possible production ramp ups right now, even though you'd expect such signs if a new model was arriving in June or July. Instead, the reports point to a possible fall release instead.
At the same time, there was that Tweet from Apple VP Philip Schiller stating that the long-delayed white iPhone 4 would be arriving this spring. Rumors have it pegged for next week, but that remains to be seen.
This puts the entire situation of iPhone updates in a curious state. If there's going to be a new model this summer, does it make sense to release the white version now, since it'll have a shelf life of only two or three months? Is that worth even the bother of building them? It made more sense for Verizon Wireless to release the CDMA version of the iPhone in February, because that will count for millions of sales whenever the next iPhone is released. I mean, is the world clamoring for a white iPhone 4?
That Apple is willing to bother with a white iPhone 4 at all clearly indicates, to me at any rate, that they expect that model to remain viable for a longer period, to justify the long-term investment in getting it to market.
Of course the real question is why Apple would choose to release the iPhone 4's successor later than you and I might have expected. One possible reason is the possible production slowdowns in Japan that might impact certain components Apple needs, such as batteries. Again, how the situation actually hurt Apple's supply chain ought to be known Wednesday.
Another issue is what changes Apple might plan for the new model. At the very least, Apple would want to upgrade the processor to the A5 that now powers the iPad 2. But don't forget that Apple can't keep up with demand for the new iPad, and maybe getting enough processors is one reason. But I'm just speculating. Other changes might include using Qualcomm's baseband chip, supporting both GSM and CDMA, which debuted in the Verizon version of the iPhone 4. Having a single chip for both models simplifies production and cuts costs. Whether it's going to be a world phone, supporting both protocols, is another question. But there's also the possibility that Apple is considering adding support for the new and much speedier LTE networks, and that will require further engineering, not to mention getting reliable chips with low power requirements, and maybe that hasn't happened yet.
The last factor is iOS 5. Right now, Apple is clearly moving to finish up Mac OS X Lion. Since they share code, they likely share developers, in which case the arrival of iOS 5 might also be moved to the fall. That would make it more sensible to release the iPhone 5 at the same time, rather than deliver a product that's sort of unfinished, meaning that the OS upgrade that makes it work best will arrive later on.
That ship now/upgrade later policy is what other tech companies do. Yes, I grant that the original iPad didn't receive iOS 4 until several months after it arrived for the iPhone 4. But the iPad was hardly impaired with it, except for the lack of enhanced multitasking support. Otherwise, it was a fully functional product.
Certainly, if Apple demonstrates iOS 5 at the WWDC in early June, and pegs a release date, you can mostlikely bank on the next iPhone arriving around that time.
I realize my speculation is no better or worse than anybody else's. I reserve the right to be wrong. But I do feel that the iPhone 5 will, as other suggest, not arrive till fall, along with iOS 5. Let's see how the chips fall.
This article was posted on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 at 12:00 AM and is filed under News and tagged with: Apple, baseband chip, CDMA, Gsm, iOS 4, iOS 5, iPad, iPad 2, Iphone, iPhone 4, Japan, Mac Os X, Philip Schiller, Qualcomm, smartphones, supply chain, Verizon Wireless.
My guess is that the normal update timeframe of iPhone will be pushed back a bit, to allow the Verizon model a slightly longer shelf life and the completion of iOS 5. As you said in the article, there is nothing wrong whatsoever with iPhone 4 even a year after its initial release.


Reverse osmosis (RO) is a filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely. In the normal osmosis process the solvent naturally moves from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration. The movement of a pure solvent to equalize solute concentrations on each side of a membrane generates a pressure and this is the "osmotic pressure." Applying an external pressure to reverse the natural flow of pure solvent, thus, is reverse osmosis. The process is similar to membrane filtration. However, there are key differences between reverse osmosis and filtration. The predominant removal mechanism in membrane filtration is straining, or size exclusion, so the process can theoretically achieve perfect exclusion of particles regardless of operational parameters such as influent pressure and concentration. Reverse osmosis, however, involves a diffusive mechanism so that separation efficiency is dependent on solute concentration, pressure, and water flux rate. Reverse osmosis is most commonly known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater, removing the salt and other substances from the water molecules.
Ultraviolet water purification lamps produce UV-C or "germicidal UV," radiation of much greater intensity than sunlight. Almost all of a UV lamp's output is concentrated in the 254 nanometers (nm) region in order to take full advantage of the germicidal properties of this wavelength. Most Renovator® Appliances ultraviolet purification systems are combined with various forms of filtration, as UV light is only capable of killing microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, molds, algae, yeast, and oocysts like cryptosporidium and giardia. UV light generally has no impact on chlorine, VOCs, heavy metals, and other chemical contaminants. Nevertheless, it is probably the most cost effective and efficient technology available to homeowners to eliminate a wide range of biological contaminants from their water supply. Ultraviolet purification uses a UV light source (lamp) which is enclosed in a protective transparent sleeve (usually quartz). The lamp is mounted such that water passing through a flow chamber is exposed to the UV-C light rays. When harmful microbes are exposed to the UV rays, their nucleic acid absorbs the UV energy, which then scrambles the DNA structure of the organism. The cell is rendered sterile and can no longer reproduce. The cell is now considered dead and is no longer a threat.
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a pressure-driven barrier to suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, endotoxins and other pathogens to produce water with very high purity and low silt density. It serves as a pretreatment for surface water, seawater, and biologically treated municipal effluent before reverse osmosis and other membrane systems. UF is also used in industry to separate suspended solids from solution. Industrial applications include power generation, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, biotechnology, and semiconductor manufacturing. GE ultrafiltration systems consistently deliver water to meet your specifications.

Murdoch eyes Dow Jones
Rupert Murdoch last year. His firm owns 170 newspapers and the Fox News cable network.
NEW YORK - Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. made an unsolicited $5 billion takeover offer for Dow Jones & Co. Inc., but the family that controls Dow Jones said yesterday that it would oppose the deal.
The company, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, confirmed yesterday that it had received the offer of $60 a share. The announcement sent Dow Jones' stock, which has languished in the mid-$30s for the last year, zooming 55 percent, or $19.87, to close at $56.20 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The news lifted the shares of other newspaper publishers.
Buying the Journal, the second-biggest U.S. newspaper by circulation, the wsj.com Web site, Dow Jones Newswires and Barron's magazine would satisfy Murdoch's long-expressed desire to own the 125-year-old company. The deal would blend Dow Jones' assets with Murdoch's empire of 170 newspapers, stretching from Sydney to New York to London, and its Fox News cable network.
"This is a typical Rupert move," said Lawrence J. Haverty Jr., associate portfolio manager at Gamco Investors Inc., of Rye, N.Y. "It's a very big idea as opposed to a very small idea. This is not a newspaper, Dow Jones. This is a financial electronic collection and dissemination system of news."
The largest U.S. newspaper by circulation is USA Today.
In its own statement yesterday, News Corp. described the offer as "friendly" and said the bid might be in cash or a combination of cash and shares.
However, Dow Jones said the Bancroft family intended to vote its shares, representing slightly more than 50 percent of the voting power in the company, against the deal.
That put the ball back in Murdoch's court, leaving open the possibility that he could raise his offer, or that other bidders could emerge.
The union representing Dow Jones employees, the Independent Association of Publishers' Employees, was harshly critical of the prospect of being owned by Murdoch.
"Mr. Murdoch has shown a willingness to crush quality and independence, and there is no reason to think he would handle Dow Jones or the Journal any differently," the union said. "Despite our differences of opinion with current management, we strongly encourage the Bancrofts to continue to stand up for the institution's independence, and to walk away from this offer."
Like those of other newspaper publishers, Dow Jones' shares have been beaten down in the last few years amid sluggish advertising and fast-changing media-consumption habits, as more readers and advertising dollars move to the Internet.
That has helped spawn an unprecedented level of acquisition activity.
In April, Tribune Co. agreed to go private in an $8 billion deal led by real estate investor Sam Zell, and last year the McClatchy Co. acquired what was then the second-largest newspaper publisher in the country, Knight Ridder Inc., after a shareholder revolt.
Also, the New York Times Co., which like Dow Jones and several other newspaper companies is controlled by a family through a special class of shares, is facing investor unrest over its own sluggish financial performance.
Yesterday, shares of McClatchy gained 58 cents to close at $29.48 on the NYSE. Shares of Washington Post Co., another publisher with two classes of shares, gained $21.30 to close at $765.30 on the NYSE. New York Times stock gained $1.18 to finish at $24.58 on the NYSE. Gannett Co. Inc. rose $1.11, to $58.17, on the NYSE.
News Corp. began in the newspaper business in Australia and still owns many papers, including the Sun tabloid in England, the Times of London, and the New York Post.
The company is now a major global media conglomerate and owns Fox Broadcasting Co., Fox News Channel, MySpace.com, the Twentieth Century Fox studio, and satellite broadcasters in Europe and Asia.

The Girl That's Underneath (feat. Jabbar Hakeem) – Jake Miller
Debuting with a pop-rap style influenced as much by John Mayer as Macklemore, singer/rapper Jake Miller first emerged while still a student at the University of Miami. Miller got his start in high school, posting videos online from his Weston, Florida home. In 2011, he self-released his debut EP, Summer Session, and performed his first live gig, opening for Snoop Dogg. His second EP, Spotlight, arrived in 2012. After signing a deal with the E1 Music label, he released the Road Less Traveled EP in 2013. That same year, he also unveiled his debut LP, Us Against Them, which incorporated smooth pop hooks, acoustic heart, and Miller's introspective rapping. Continuing his EP-per-year schedule, Miller unveiled Dazed and Confused in 2014. It featured appearances from Nikki Flores and Travie McCoy. The feel-good party EP Rumors arrived in 2015. With each release, the Jake Miller sound slowly drifted toward a more R&B-pop-oriented style similar to Nick Jonas or ZAYN. It became fully apparent on his 2016 EP, Overnight, which included the single "Overnight." That same year, he embarked on a tour opening for Fifth Harmony. In 2017, the singer self-released his sophomore LP, 2:00am in LA. ~ David Jeffries & Neil Z. Yeung

A robbery suspect barricaded himself inside a Cook Street residence Aug. 13, resulting in a standoff with police. (Travis Paterson/News Staff)
Victoria police nab two robbery suspects related to seven-hour standoff
Cook Street incident Aug. 13 saw several residents evacuated from homes
Aug. 18, 2020 1:15 p.m.
Victoria police officers and members of the VicPD K9 team arrested a man and a woman Monday in connection to a robbery that led to residents being evacuated from their homes last week.
On Aug. 13 around 7:45 a.m. police were called to a multi-unit residential building in the 2300-block of Cook Street for a report of a robbery. One man had been assaulted with a weapon and was taken to hospital.
Police believed suspects remained in the building and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team officers arrested one man after a standoff of more than seven hours.
The other two suspects, a man and a woman, were arrested Aug. 17 after VicPD K9 members spotted them at a bus loop in the 1000-block of Hillside Avenue. The woman was arrested around 1:30 p.m. while he man ran off.
RELATED: One person in custody after hours-long Cook Street standoff with barricaded robbery suspects
Around 4:30 p.m. police arrested the man at a multi-unit residential building, also in the 1000-block of Hillside Avenue.
John William Crawford, 30, is charged with aggravated assault and robbery. Additionally, officers arrested Crawford on outstanding unendorsed warrants related to a 2019 break and enter, mischief under $5,000 and theft under $5,000. Crawford was held in custody to await court.
The woman faces recommended charges of aggravated assault and robbery. She was released with a court date.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 250-995-7654 or report anonymously through Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
