Marina Celano, Mask Artisan
Close to the historical Venetian fish market, yet off the beaten path, Marina welcomed us into her little and lovely masks shop. From the creation of the mold, until the finishing touches with feathers and gems, Marina puts her fine creativity and touch at work for the crafting of original, fine, and feminine masks.
YOU CAN SUPPORT MARINA BY VISITING HER SHOP WHEN YOU'RE IN VENICE
In the respect of the ancient Venetian techniques, Marina creates her masks entirely by hand: starting with the creation of an initial mold, the second step is the making of the shape with the use of papier-mache and wallpaper glue put inside the mold. Once the mask has dried, layers of paint are applied to increase its strength and flexibility. At this point, the creative process begins, and Marina's fantasy takes over. Ultimately some finishing touches are applied to embellish even further her creations, making every mask an original and unique piece.
Marina chose Venice and her work, the possibility to craft with her own hands, because this smaller reality keeps her and her family more grounded and connected to a human dimension that is vanishing so rapidly or already has disappeared in many other western cities.
Looking for a summer job, I began working as an assistant in a masks shop, but as in the best fairytales, I fell in love with this activity and decided to open my own workshop.
CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT
Hello, I'm Marina Celano. I live in Venice since 2000, when I got married and moved here. But I was born and grew in Mestre, so I've known the city ever since.
The techniques I use, are those of the Venetian tradition: gold and silver foil, gilding, decoupage.
SEE ALSO Attombri Brothers, jewelery designers
So I can show masks with music notes, with sights of Venice. It's all different possibilities of the decorative process. The base for every mask is the use of papier-mache. It all starts from the molds, well, actually the first step is creating a sculpture. Or in our case, we can use as a base the same masks we already have. Then, a gypsum cast is poured over it, in order to obtain the negative of the mask, in this case, I'm showing a cat.
"Cartapesta" (papier-mache) is obtained by soaking newspapers with wallpaper glue. After the use, it dries out and hardens. Nowadays, however, we work making use of "carta lana". "Carta lana" is a kind of paper that contains many fibers, being, therefore, a very strong yet very flexible material. Once put inside of the mold and drenched with wallpaper glue, it hardens inside of it, it then gets extracted and is left drying up. For how long it depends on the weather, for we are dependant on it… Once it's dry, the mask has to be cut out.
I can show you this: this one here is the mold of the "Colombina", a classic mask, which is known as "le loup" in French or "eye-mask" in English. It's the most classic one because it keeps the person's face hidden but it's also the easiest one to decorate, so it's easy to create many variations adding feathers, flowers, or whatever we want.
This is the mask that comes out of the mold, with the different layers of papier-mache; once it's dry, I have to cut out the eyes and the borders and start by painting it white to give more solidity: now the mask is ready.
It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the face, and also light. From here, then, the decorative phase starts.
One summer, thanks to a friend, I started working in her shop as an assistant. Just like in stories, the assistant discovered such a strong passion for her new job that… well, I chose to work on my own, and stick to this activity because I really liked working with my hands, and decorating the masks: it was love at first sight
SEE ALSO Ruggero De Zorzi, Leather Artisan
It's the city I chose. I belong to those few that move from Mestre to Venice. I chose it first for my studies. I chose it for a living because Venice is a city that is still on very beautiful human scale.
Since 2007 and the global crisis, also in Venice I noticed what has happened in all the other big tourist cities: it has been invaded by a tourism without any control, a mass tourism that surely does bring something, but, let's say it, it has more negative aspects than positive ones, for sure.
It's… all the same, everything, for a hit-and-run consumerism. As we all know by now, this is what it is, a hit-and-run tourism and the shops adapted to it.
There are people that enter here by accident, and they ask me why my masks cost so much. So I show them: I start it, I finish it, I prepare it, I do everything: let's suppose it takes me only 7 hours to craft it, how much would you pay me per hour?
Actually, it takes me much more, because I have to wait for the mask to dry, cut it out, set things up, and so on. The difference is all here: it is not a product mass produced by a machine in China
I really hope that the problem of managing the flows of tourism will be taken seriously, to avoid having Venice losing all its charm and to definitely sink, as it is doing now. I hope that something will change, as soon as possible.
I'm visiting Venice. Why should I follow your recommendations?
The way you visit Venice has an impact both on the quality of your experience and on Venice itself. Chilling, exploring, shopping, eating and drinking where the locals do, can make a huge impact both on the memories you bring home and on the local economy and community.

A great deal of contemporary radical politics is dominated by pseudo-activity: activity that covers up a deeper inactivity. Waving placards and moaning about the government are all well and good, but, if no benefit accrues, if policy doesn't shift, and the system rumbles onwards blithely unconcerned with our dissatisfaction, then we must, in the standard dialectical manner, consider the possibility that this domesticated oppositional activity actively benefits the system we believe ourselves to oppose. Žižek has argued that, if we are indeed serious about holding capital to account and effecting genuine change, we should display the courage to withdraw from this pseudo-activity. Carlen (2014) appears to consider this a capitulation to social oppression and mocks the suggestion that critical academics withdraw from the immediacy of social and political critique to rethink the situation and identify the diverse groups involved in their own inimitable ways in the system's reproduction. However, even thinkers as radical as Marx and Engels (1977: 573) noted the presence of people in their orbit who 'ostensibly engage in indefatigable activity' but ultimately 'do nothing themselves [and] try to prevent anything happening at all except –chatter'. Action and talk, without prior coherent thought and direction, are always politically worthless and often counter-productive.
Žižek (2006: 223) suggests that such a strategy of passive aggressivity is 'a proper radical political gesture'. He compares this favourably to the 'aggressive passivity' of the contemporary Left, in which 'we are active all the time in order to make sure that nothing will happen, that nothing will really change' (ibid.).

Brazil appeals court judge overrules order to free Lula
Lula is serving 12-year prison sentence for taking bribes from a Brazilian construction company.
The leftist politician was president from 2003 to 2011 [File: AFP]
Published On 8 Jul 20188 Jul 2018
A Brazilian appeals court judge has overruled an order to release imprisoned former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
In a surprising ruling on Sunday, appelate Judge Rogerio Favreto ordered the popular leftist politician, who is serving a 12-year prison sentence for corruption, freed.
But the order was blocked by Federal Judge Sergio Moro, who sent Lula to prison on the corruption conviction.
Moro declared the decision by Favreto, who served in the justice ministry under Lula, "monocratic".
Another appeals court judge, Joao Pedro Gebran Neto, then intervened, ordering Lula to remain in jail and forbidding federal police from abiding by Favreto's earlier ruling.
Gebran Neto is the judge in charge of overseeing Lula's case at the Fourth Federal Regional Tribunal and a legal analyst said his decision supersedes the other judge's.
Lula, who was convicted of accepting a seaside apartment as a bribe from Brazilian construction company OAS, has been battling to overturn his 12-year sentence in the hopes of making another presidential bid in elections in October.
Despite his jailing, Lula has consistently led presidential polls.
Whether Lula can run in the October election has yet to be decided by Brazil's electoral court next month.
Lula insists he is innocent and has branded the accusations of accepting the apartment as a conspiracy aimed at thwarting his electoral bid.
His everyman style and unvarnished speeches electrified masses and eventually won him two terms as president, from 2003 to 2011, when he oversaw robust economic growth and falling inequality amid a commodities boom.
He left office with a sky-high approval rate of 83 percent.

YourWayHome is a national real estate and lending team headquartered in Westminster, Colorado. We're looking for a self-motivated loan originator that is a prospecting, follow up machine, loves the real estate business and has an entrepreneurial spirit and a huge hunger for success. We're a rapidly growing, tech-focused, real estate brokerage and mortgage lender that is drowning in inbound leads.
Your role is to work with our HR team and help select a team of twenty to thirty real estate agents that will work on YOUR TEAM (kinda like being team captain and picking your dream team). The agents will work for our real estate brokerage but will report to YOU as their sales manager (yep, that's right, the Loan Officer is in charge). You'll work at our office at the Orchard Mall, and will be assigned a region in the United States where your team of agents reside. You will receive at least twenty inbound leads per day. You will personally reach out to each lead within minutes, qualify the leads, and distribute the leads to your team of real estate agents in the field. Don't be mistaken, while the team of agents is great, your success will be determined by your diligent follow up and selling skills with these inbound leads.
As the originating sales manager, you are the head of the team and the Realtors report to you on sales matters/lead conversion (of course they have their own management for real estate transactional matter). Besides being an inside sales agent and the first point of contact for the leads, your role is to effectively coach and manage the agents to ensure a productive team. This will involve hosting weekly group sales calls as well as one on one calls with each agent. You'll help agents set goals for production and hold them accountable. Basically, you're the coach and quarterback of an all-star real estate and lending team.
Rather than you going out and soliciting Realtors for loan referrals, you control your destiny! We'll give you the tools including an incredible marketing team, hi-tech tools, and we'll deliver 600 or more leads to you each month. You'll act as the first point of contact for every inbound lead and then connect the prospect with one of your Realtor team members. You'll work hand in hand with your team of Realtors and originate all loans as the opportunity arises. You will review the pool of leads, agent follow up status and will personally contact each lead six times in the first ten days (or until handoff to an agent). This is not a position for someone with call reluctance!
The market is shifting; refinances are gone and the real estate industry is consolidating driven by large Tech Companies and VC money. You can be a leader in this revolution working for a national technology focused lending and real estate team.
The ideal candidate is passionate about achievement, draws energy from working with people and takes ownership of the sales process to maximum effectiveness. You lean strongly towards being an extrovert, yet still pay attention to the details of the loan origination process.
This person has the drive and tenacity to achieve or exceed productivity, appointment setting, and revenue targets while effectively assisting customers with their inquiries. The right candidate must possess a leader's attitude and bring the best out of their team of real estate agents.
You will make around a hundred sales calls a day. If you don't like selling via telephone this is not the job for you. You need to be a natural at building a repertoire with clients over the phone.
Passionate about selling and delivering an amazing customer experience.
Great memory and recall (need to be able to learn and retain information about the cities in your region).
Must have a mortgage license in at least one state and we will help you get licensed where needed.
The greatest reward is always given to those that step out of the box, take a chance and climb to new heights. A dynamic leader that can take charge of a team of agents while handling one on one sales deserves to be richly compensated.
You will be paid a commission on all loans. Expected earnings are between $100,000-$300,000 per year. Our team will be spending thousands of dollars a month on lead generation for you. You'll work in a pretty cool office that we are building at the Orchard Mall next to the Rusty Bucket restaurant and we also offer up to three weeks of paid vacation each year, a 401(k) plan and available health plans. But more importantly, you'll be working with leaders and innovators in the real estate industry that believe in you and want to invest in your future.
We have just a couple of opportunities and we are interviewing now. Use the link below to submit your application.

Kevin Williamson Confirms New SCREAM Title As Filming Wraps!
by Mike Sprague November 18, 2020, 8:30 am
Original Scream writer, Kevin Williamson just took to Twitter to let us all know Radio Silence's Scream 5 – now officially called Scream – has wrapped filming.
He tweets: "That's a wrap on Scream, which I'm excited to announce is the official title of the next film! Nearly 25 years ago, when I wrote Scream and Wes Craven brought it to life, I could not have imagined the lasting impact it would have on you, the fans. I'm excited for you to return to Woodsboro and get really scared again. I believe Wes would've been so proud of the film that Matt and Tyler are making. I'm thrilled to be reunited with Neve, Courteney, David and Marley, and to be working alongside a new filmmaking team and incredible cast of newcomers that have come together to continue Wes's legacy with the upcoming relaunch of the franchise that I hold so dear to my heart. See you in theatres January 2022."
Check out his tweets below.

Active learning of uniformly accurate interatomic potentials for materials simulation
Linfeng Zhang, De Ye Lin, Han Wang, Roberto Car, Weinan E
An active learning procedure called deep potential generator (DP-GEN) is proposed for the construction of accurate and transferable machine learning-based models of the potential energy surface (PES) for the molecular modeling of materials. This procedure consists of three main components: Exploration, generation of accurate reference data, and training. Application to the sample systems of Al, Mg, and Al-Mg alloys demonstrates that DP-GEN can produce uniformly accurate PES models with a minimal number of reference data.

I need help to generate the data for the following situation.
I want to generate data for x in the range of 0 to 5 with the interval of 0.01. For each x there is y in the range of 0 to 3 in the interval of 0.01. After that I want to make two columns of x and y.
to get x values but it is in a row, i want it in column. And how to get y value for each x that i obtained ?
Is there a relationship between a value of x and a value of y, like a formula?


It's one of the great mysteries of the universe - why, in their effort to be different, do all hipsters end up looking the same. We've all wondered why this is, but until now, we've never had concrete evidence explaining the phenomenon.
So in essence, it is pretty much impossible to be on the crux of new trends. The reason why is essentially that other people are probably deciding something is "cool" at the same time as you, but it is impossible for you to know that.
Therefore, using hipster logic, if something becomes uncool as soon as someone besides you deems it as cool, it's pretty much uncool right away, as you never can know what other people are deciding is cool at this very moment.

Iranian commander blasts Trump's anti-Iran sanctions meme with one of his own
Sunday, 04 November 2018 1:17 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 04 November 2018 3:20 AM ]
Iran's Major General Qassem Soleimani posted a photo inspired by the book series-turned-HBO hit show "Game of Thrones" on Nov. 2, 2018, in response to US President Donald Trump's use of a similar meme to threaten Tehran with more sanctions. (Photo via Instagram)
Iran's Major General Qassem Soleimani has fired back at US President Donald Trump's use of a meme imitated from popular American drama series "Game of Thrones" with one of his own, vowing to "stand against" American sanctions.
The commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) posted on Friday an Instagram photo inspired by the book series-turned-HBO hit show, which reads, "I will stand against you" in the show's signature font, as used in Trump's tweet earlier in the day threatening Tehran with more sanctions.
The photo was widely viewed as a direct response to the US president's own Westeros-inspired tweet that read, "Sanctions are coming November 5."
pic.twitter.com/nk2vKvHuaL
The post came shortly after the Trump administration announced plans to reinstate the last set of sanctions lifted on Iran under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal early next week. Trump announced in May that he was withdrawing the US from the International agreement.
The US-based cable network HBO also slammed Trump for his use of the show's slogan – 'Winter is coming' – to promote his administration's foreign policy agenda, saying it would prefer the American president not "misappropriate" their trademark.

— Maggie Resists Trump (@Stop_Trump20) November 4, 2018
"We were not aware of this messaging and would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes," said an HBO spokeswoman.
The network further took to Twitter – Trump's favorite communication channel -- and asked how to say "trademark misuse" in Dothraki, one of the show's fictional languages.
On Saturday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei responded to persisting US political and economic hostilities against Iran for the past 40 years, insisting that the United States has always been defeated in its face-off with the Islamic Republic.
Speaking in a public address a day after the Trump administration decided to re-impose all US sanctions against Iran lifted under the 2015 agreement, the Leader said, "For 40 years, the challenge between America and Iran has continued and a variety of movements have taken place from the enemy's side - from the military and economic warfare to the media war launched by America.
PressTV-Ayat. Khamenei: US always defeated in face-off with Iran
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says a face-off has been going on between the US and Iran for the past 40 years, in which the United States has always been defeated.
"The goal of the United States in all this was to regain the domination it had in the era of the tyranny, but it could not," the Leader added, referring to the period prior to the Islamic Revolution when the Shah of Iran was the top US ally in the region.
Iran's foreign ministry has accused Washington of seeking to wage an extensive "psychological war" against Tehran by imposing a new round of sanctions, insisting that such US measures are not worthy of much concern.
PressTV-No concerns over fresh US sanctions: Iran
Iran says it has no concerns over fresh US sanctions which are aimed at waging an extensive psychological war.
"There is no room for any concern. We should wait and see that the US will not be able to carry out any measure against the great and brave Iranian nation," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Friday. "It seems that the US has no more capability to put countries and global economic enterprises under pressure."
The US plans to impose a second round of sanctions against Iran on Sunday, months after Washington scrapped the 2015 multilateral deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), reached between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.
The first round of the bans – which had been lifted under the nuclear deal -- was re-imposed in August.
The Iranian general has previously reacted to other anti-Iran threats by the American president, warning Trump back in June against insulting the Iranian nation and president.
PressTV-To Trump: Hereby, I respond to you as a soldier
Iran's Major General Qassem Soleimani sharply reacts to the recent threat by US President Donald Trump against the Islamic Republic.
"Trump! You must not threaten our nation and must not insult our president… You must know what you are talking about; ask your predecessors and try to benefit from their experiences," said General Soleimani on July 26.
Further pointing to Trump's threat of waging military action against Iran, Soleimani insisted: "You know that this war would mean annihilation of all your assets. You may initiate the war, but it is us who will finish it off."

Best Cyber Monday Apple Deals for AirPods, Apple TV 4K, iPad, More
Now that Black Friday is over, the internet's attention has shifted to Cyber Monday deals today. Of course, for Apple products this means that many of the deals you saw last week are basically the same today. Despite this repetition, it's a great chance for anyone who missed out on Black Friday deals to still get the year's best prices on many Apple devices.
Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.
This article is specifically focused on Apple's product lines, including the iPhone, Apple TV, AirPods, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and various accessories like MagSafe chargers and Apple Pencil. Every deal shared below is available to purchase right now.
Use these links to jump directly to the product that you're shopping for today.
What's the deal? Take $20 off HomePod mini
Where can I get it? Verizon
Verizon's popular $79.99 offer on the HomePod mini has been coming and going since it debuted a few days before Black Friday. As of Cyber Monday, you can still get two colors on sale at this solid price (orange and blue). Given the nature of this deal, we recommend making your purchase as soon as possible if you haven't already. This is one of the best prices of the year on the accessory.
Apple TV 4K (2021)
What's the deal? Take $99 off the 2021 Apple TV 4K
Where can I get it? Best Buy
Apple TV 4K discounts continue in the wake of Black Friday, and Best Buy now has the 64GB model from 2021 for $99.99, down from the original price of $199.00. This is an all-time low price on the accessory. The 32GB model was down to $79.99 earlier in the week, but we haven't seen that sale return yet.
AirPods Pro 2 (2022)
What's the deal? Take $49 off the new AirPods Pro 2
Where can I get it? Amazon
Amazon's discount on the AirPods Pro 2, down to $199.99, has been one of the headlining deals of Black Friday 2022, and it's still available for Cyber Monday. Although Woot's sale had the earbuds for $2 cheaper, it sold out quickly and isn't expected to come back soon, making Amazon's sale a great opportunity to get the accessory at nearly their all-time low price.
What's the deal? Take $90 off the 2021 AirPods Pro
As stock dwindles on the previous-generation AirPods Pro, it's been rarer and rarer to see steep discounts. This week, however, Verizon has both stock and an all-time low price on the 2021 AirPods Pro at $159.99.
AirPods 2 (2019)
What's the deal? Take $50 off the 2019 AirPods 2
The year's best price on Apple's 2019 AirPods 2 has returned for Cyber Monday, and they're available for just $79.00 on Amazon right now, down from $129.00. As an entry-level option, this model will be perfectly usable for most users who don't care about the advanced noise-canceling features of the higher-end AirPods.
What's the deal? Take $100 off the AirPods Max
AirPods Max never hit their all-time low price for Black Friday, and are still available at a second-best price of $449.00 on Amazon for Cyber Monday.
10.2-Inch iPad (2021)
What's the deal? Take $59 off the 2021 iPad
The previous-generation iPad just hit its best-ever price at $269.99 for 64GB Wi-Fi models, and it's available in both Silver and Space Gray. If you don't need the latest model with all of the major design changes, this could be a great entry-level option for holiday gifting.
B&H Photo had the new iPads at $50 off earlier in the month, but that deal never re-emerged. For Cyber Monday, you can get it for $30 off in Blue and $23 off in other colors at Amazon, solid backup price.
11-Inch iPad Pro (2022)
What's the deal? Take $40 off the new 11-inch iPad Pro
Black Friday discounts have carried over into Cyber Monday for the new M2 iPad Pros as well, starting at $739.00 for the 11-inch 128GB Wi-Fi tablet. There are a few other markdowns on other models, including cellular devices, all found on Amazon.
12.9-Inch iPad Pro (2022)
What's the deal? Take $100 off the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro
If you want a bigger display, there is also a nice Cyber Monday discount on the 128GB Wi-Fi 12.9-inch iPad Pro on Amazon. It's priced at $999.00, down from $1,099.00. This is a new low price and one of the only 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2022 reaching as much as $100 off on Amazon.
What's the deal? Take up to $500 off the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro
In terms of Macs, the biggest discounts of the year hit the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro last week, and they're still available for Cyber Monday. You can get as much as $499 off these notebooks on Amazon. These are the best prices we've ever seen on the 2021 MacBook Pro lineup.
M1 MacBook Air (2020)
What's the deal? Take up to $200 off the 2020 M1 MacBook Air
Apple's M1 MacBook Air is still being offered by the company as a cheaper alternative to the new M2 MacBook Air, and Amazon is sweetening the deal by dropping the price by $200 for Cyber Monday. The 256GB model is just $799.00 right now in all three colors.
What's the deal? Take $150 off the 2022 M2 MacBook Air
For the latest models of the MacBook Air, Amazon has $150 off the 256GB notebook, priced at $1,049.00. This is an all-time low price and it's available in all four colors.
24-Inch iMac (2021)
What's the deal? Take $149 off the 2021 24-inch iMac
and B&H Photo
Deals on the 24-inch M1 iMac have been very rare throughout 2022, but we're tracking all-time low prices across the entire line for Cyber Monday. You'll find solid $149 markdowns on all models and on nearly all colors on Amazon and B&H Photo.
What's the deal? Take $50 off the Apple Watch Series 8
Amazon has quite a few $50 discounts on the new Apple Watch Series 8, starting at $349.00 for 41mm GPS models and increasing to $379.00 for 45mm GPS models. For cellular devices, you'll find prices start at $449.00 for 41mm cellular models and increase to $479.00 for 45mm cellular models, which are also $50 markdowns.
SE (2022)
What's the deal? Take up to $40 off the Apple Watch SE
Similar to Series 8 devices, the new Apple Watch SE has savings across its lineup on Amazon. Prices start at $229.00 for 40mm GPS ($20 off) and raise to $239.00 for 44mm GPS ($39 off, a new all-time low). Cellular prices start at $279.00 for 40mm cellular and raise to $309.00 for 44mm cellular, which are both $20 discounts.
What's the deal? Take $60 off the Apple Watch Ultra
Black Friday introduced the first major sale on the Apple Watch Ultra last week, and these record low prices are still in stock for Cyber Monday. You can get numerous configurations for $739.00, which is $60 off and a new best-ever price.
What's the deal? Take 25% off the Apple MagSafe accessories
Verizon has been one of the only reliable sources of discounts on Apple's official MagSafe accessory line, and this fact remains true for Cyber Monday. However, Amazon has recently jumped in on the sales and has the MagSafe Charger for $29.99, down from $39.00, and the MagSafe Duo Charger for $97.49, down from $129.00.
At Verizon, you can get the MagSafe Charger for $29.99, down from $39.00. The MagSafe Duo Charger is down to $96.74, from $129.00; and the MagSafe Battery Pack is down to $74.24, from $99.00.
Apple Pencil 2
What's the deal? Take $40 off the Apple Pencil 2
Amazon has the Apple Pencil 2 for $89.00 this Cyber Monday, down from $129.00. Compared to previous sales, this is an all-time low price on the accessory and as of now only Amazon has the deal.
iPad Pro Magic Keyboards
What's the deal? Take $50 off Apple's Magic Keyboards for iPad Pro
If you're on the hunt for a great iPad Pro accessory, Apple's Magic Keyboards are perfect additions to any iPad Pro workflow. Both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch versions from 2021 are $50 off on Amazon for Cyber Monday.
What's the deal? Take $5 off the AirTag
Apple's AirTag 4-Pack hit an all-time low price of $74.99 on Amazon earlier this week, down from $99.00, but this deal expired. You can now get a solo AirTag for $24.98, down from $29.00. Deals on any version of the AirTag have been very rare in 2022, making this a great time to buy the tracking accessory in early holiday shopping.
For iPhone deals, we're tracking numerous discounts across the major carriers, so for this section we'll break things up by carriers instead of by products.
AT&T is offering up to $800 off the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with eligible trade-in and purchase on a qualifying installment agreement. You'll get up to $800 in bill credits with trade-in value of $130 or higher, and up to $350 in bill credits with trade-in value of $35 to $129.
For Apple Watch deals, if you buy an Apple Watch you'll get the new Apple Watch SE at no extra cost. Both must be purchased on qualifying installment plans and you'll have to add at least one new line, then you'll get up to $330 in bill credits towards the second eligible Apple Watch.
Verizon has the iPhone 14 Pro at up to $1,000 off when you trade in your old smartphone on select Verizon Unlimited plans. You'll even get an extra $200 when you switch from a different carrier to Verizon.
If you're buying an iPhone at Verizon, you can get a combo deal with an iPad as well. The carrier has iPads for as low as $8 per month when buying a new line and 5G iPhone at the same time, and it's only available online.
A similar combo deal can be seen for the Apple Watch Series 8 as well. If you buy a select iPhone, you'll get the Series 8 for less than $6 per month. If you're okay with older iPhones, the iPhone 13 is just $5 per month when purchasing a new Verizon line.
Verizon-owned carrier Visible is offering gift cards worth up to $300 when purchasing select devices through the carrier. You can also get a pair of Beats Studio Buds when buying a new iPhone 14 or 14 Pro model.
Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile is offering three months of premium wireless service for free when you buy any three-month plan. Additionally, you can get six months of service for free when you buy a six-month plan and a new phone through the carrier.

Why Alison Godfrey made the leap from mainstream to travel publishing during COVID-19
Alsion Godfrey is a publishing unicorn. She's done everything – from media sales to business, entertainment travel and hard news journalism. In November 2020, a year that saw the travel industry decimated by COVID-19, Godfrey chose to make the leap from mainstream media into boutique travel publishing by accepting a role with Signature Media.
I caught up to chat about why Alison Godfrey made the leap, the mainstream media habits that she's bringing to travel publisher Signature Media to grow its digital presence, and the advantage targeted media brands have over mainstream media when it comes to content strategies and advertisers.
Alison Godfrey
Let's set the scene and appreciate Alison Godfrey's career for a second…
Godfrey's career in publishing and media is what dreams are made of. She began her career in television media sales, analysing the advertising spend of corporates and pitching improvements to their marketing strategy, before returning to university to study journalism.
In her first university class, a News Ltd scout selected Godfrey for an internship at The Daily Telegraph, which led to roles at Channel 9 and The Courier before she travelled to London and found herself working at Associated Newspapers in her first digital role. When Godfrey returned from Europe, she landed a role at news.com.au
"It was the really early days of digital media. We were still having to look at things in code. It was absolutely fascinating," Godfrey says.
After six years at news.com.au, AAP was keen for Godfrey to come across as an entertainment editor, where she managed a team of 10 across Australia and LA. She then landed the gig to start AAP's commercial content section.
"We created bespoke commercial content, mainly for Fairfax, but also for clients like the Gold Coast before the Commonwealth Games, who booked in for videos, photos and stories that could be packaged together to be sent to the media."
Being largely commercial work, Godfrey says "It gave me some amazing skills. It involved starting up the entire section as a standalone business at AAP. I worked with the sales team, from the very brief all the way through to the finished product, getting it passed through all the Fairfax editors, which could be a challenge. That business ended up doing really well and turning a profit for AAP."
But Godfrey missed working in digital publishing, so after six years at AAP she went to work for a niche travel publisher. On leaving, Godfrey's AAP boss warned her to be careful of working for smaller media players, "they're not safe, they might fold and you can always come back" were his parting words.
"You know, he was right," Godfrey says. "This niche player, in particular, wasn't doing things strategically and did fold. But in the time that it was running, the digital section was really good. So when that folded I went back to mainstream media with my tail between my legs."
So how did Signature Media convince Godfrey to return to travel publishing during COVID-19?
Cathy and Cara Wagstaff from Signature Media instantly started courting Godfrey to work with them after her first foray into niche publishing didn't work out. But in February 2020 Godfrey took a role at Seven News instead.
"I told Seven that I just wanted to be a journalist, I didn't want to be the homepage editor. I wanted to calm things down a bit. And then COVID-19 hit. I ended up being the online news editor. Every day was COVID-19 news after COVID-19 news. It was all the audience wanted to read, and it was long, long hours.
"My husband works for a company that makes life support ventilators. I was a news editor. I wasn't allowed to work from home. We have two children who had to be homeschooled. It was completely untenable."
Godfrey says "We were slowly going insane. We sat down as a family and said something's got to give."

"Cathy and Cara had kept in contact all year. They took me out to lunch and offered me a job. I rejected them three times, I think," Godfrey says. "And then, eventually, at the end of October, I said I actually am interested.
"The courting process was partly for me. Really getting to know them, checking them out and making sure they knew their stuff.
"Particularly during COVID-19, it's a massive risk to go into a travel publisher in the middle of COVID-19. So I wanted to be 100 per cent sure that this business and these people knew what they were doing.
"And they have managed to not just survive COVID, but thrive through it. That's really impressive."
How travel publisher Signature Media thrived during COVID-19
As with most travel publishers, Signature Media needed to rethink its strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team thought about what their readers needed at that point in time and asked their advertisers what would be of most value to them.
They paused their print titles and doubled down on their digital strategy. Two regular digital publications were born, plus a custom publishing arm:
Family Matters spoke to families at home, providing content that based on what they were doing, what their intent was at that moment. Article topics incorporated gardening, and 'the best houseplants for your home', and advertisers outside of the travel sector were brought onboard.
Signature@Home repurposed and repositioned Signature's existing print title Signature Luxury Travel and Style to be home-related content, including articles like 'the best scents for your home to make it smell like a luxury holiday'.
Custom publishing: individual e-books were created for the advertisers of their paused print publications that wanted to remain top of mind when the pandemic broke.
Signature Media launched Signature@Home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Godfrey says that what impressed her most was Signature Media's awareness of the strategic gaps that they needed to fill.
"At the time, they didn't have a dedicated digital editor and given that they were pushing further into that region, they knew they needed someone with more expertise in digital, that could really create a strategy around it."
Godfrey says that the custom e-books are doing really well: "We are finding that, on digital, people are still planning and dreaming. So that type of content has worked really well. We've now settled into a schedule, I think of about one ebook every month.
"Having that creativity to just roll with it, I think is what Signature has done really well."

The difference between writing for print and digital
Godfrey has a good track record of adapting print content for digital.
While at news.com.au, she was seconded to the travel section because it wasn't doing very well. News Corp had a lot of print travel content that they were uploading online to save time and money. Godfrey's remit was to fix it and make it rate.
"Me and another girl, Kate, made news.com.au's travel section the number one travel section in the country, making sure that the advertisers were getting what they want, but the readers got what they wanted too. The travel section actually turned a profit that year."
Godfrey explains that targeted media brands need to understand that writing for print and digital is very different.
Godfrey says that it's important to understand the different ways that readers engage with print and digital articles.
Readers engaging with print have a different mindset than when they engage with digital. It's a different experience – intentional, slow, which means that writing for print can be more creative. Whereas writing for digital should be more like broadcast – shorter sentences, written like you're speaking.
"If you write digital articles like print, you'll find, you'll hit every single red mark on your SEO and readability. It won't work. The sentences are too long, they're too flowy. And it often doesn't meet the reader intent."
"In print, you can assume people are going to read everything in it, they'll drool over the pictures. It's not like that online where they come to a piece of content and really want the detail. They often think about the term that they've searched for to get there. What do they expect when they search for that term? Are we answering their questions? Or are they going to have to go somewhere else to find the answers?"
The beauty of digital is that it isn't a secret science.
"I love digital because it's all about the numbers, you can see everything about a story, about reader intent, you can see what works and what doesn't work instantly. You don't see that as much on print."
Signature Media's digital strategy
Godfrey explains the SEO, readability and reader intent are her three core pillars when considering digital content.
"Each one has to be hit for a story to go up online at Signature. That doesn't matter whether it's editorial or whether that's sponsored content. We will go back to clients and tell them if we think it isn't going to work."
"We now produce two versions of every print story that we have said will go online. To go online, it needs extra elements added. It needs a sticky headline that's going to draw readers in. It needs an excerpt or stand-first that really shines.
Godfrey explains this isn't as important for print because readers look at the whole article. With digital, readers look at the headline, image and one paragraph to decide if they're going to click through.
"You've got to sell it to them. It's got to be click worthy, not clickbait. Tell me why I need to read this. And then you also need to think about re-circulation. Where do they go after they've read that story? I want them to be clicking on more than one page on my website, so I need some tricks to keep them there."

Watching the numbers
Constantly watching digital analytics has been drilled into Godfrey thanks to her background in mainstream media.
"My analytic screen was always open. I knew the numbers I should be hitting. In a mainstream media outlet, they're displayed on TV screens all throughout the office. At news.com.au we had an overlay over the website so you could see how many readers were on each story as you were editing."
"I knew what each number should be for each position on the website. And if an article was underperforming, I'd look at how to tweak it. If it was over-performing, I might pull it up higher to make it perform even more.
"I think that's one habit that mainstream media can lend to niche publishers to make them even better at what they do – constantly look at your analytics and set goals."
Posting with purpose
Godfrey believes that targeted media brands have an advantage over mainstream media because of the structure of their editorial teams and the audience being reached.
"In mainstream, each person has a very segmented role. So it can get a little bit more robotic, and there's not as much room for creativity."
A reporter writes the story, suggests a headline, includes images; a sub-editor and/or editor will review; then a front page editor assesses the headline and images; determines where the story should be placed on the homepage.
"Whereas when you work for a targeted media publication, you can do the entire process all the way through. Even on the advertising side of things, you can work across the whole suite of the business, which I think makes it a much stronger editorial team because they understand the purpose [of each piece of content].
"They understand the whole picture of this story and why it's important."
Godfrey says that this, in turn, makes it easier to develop and follow through on strategies to inform each piece of content that's produced, whether that's increased web traffic, extra e-newsletter sign-ups or increased advertising revenue.
Understanding audience needs
Developing these strategies for digital content involves understanding what your audience wants.
"While mainstream media often has a bigger audience, that audience is often not as engaged…They click on to get their news fixed, and then they click off, whereas, people will deliberately come to a niche publisher because they're interested and they want to read it."
"I have to provide [Signature Media's audience] with a lot more detail than I would on a mainstream media publication because they expect that of us, they trust us, they know they're going to get all the information they need from us.
"It's about adding in the detail that we know they love. But that's also something that Signature does that a lot of other publications don't do and that's really been a big part of our strategy this year," Godfrey says.
"If I was doing a mainstream travel story, I could get away with doing a lot less, and I'd still get the clicks, but it wouldn't be worth as much.
"Mainstream has a higher percentage of trolls. We'd often do stories just because we knew it would be divisive because it would get higher clicks. Targeted media doesn't have that, it's a lot more positive. It's a lot more informative and nicer – not trying to divide people, not trying to hype them up.
"Targeted media has a, I'd say, a bigger percentage of loyal engaged readers – your readers who are more likely to buy, who are more likely to interact – they're the most valuable readers.
Godfrey says that this is something advertisers and PRs need to think about more.
"I think the audience makes a massive difference…you may get a big audience on a mainstream story, but it's the type of audience that really matters. When you get an engaged audience, they will remember you a lot more than that fleeting moment they saw you on mainstream media."
Advertisers need to realise that they can work more closely with targeted media companies compared to mainstream too.
"We know our audiences so well. We know who they are, we know what they like, and when it comes to native content pieces, we can craft things that really hit that audience in the right spot, which is not as easy on mainstream media."
Ready for a long career in travel publishing
Out of all the roles that Godfrey has held over her career, where does she feel most at home?
"Travel, surprisingly, is where I like to be the most," she says.
"One of the reasons why I jumped into targeted media was I love the ability to work through the whole process and to make it all come together into a strategy. Each individual piece of content plays a role in a business strategy.
"That's what you get working in targeted media, you get to see the entire thing. From the very ideation through to the results. You don't get that in mainstream media."

» How does California define first-degree murder?
How does California define first-degree murder?
Sep 19, 2022 | Violent Crimes
California has very strict guidelines for what constitutes first-degree murder. To convict you of this most serious form of homicide, the prosecutor must prove, first and foremost, that you deliberately intended to kill your alleged victim. Stated another way, the prosecutor must prove premeditation.
As explained by FindLaw, the prosecutor then must prove at least one of four possible special circumstances as described below.
Type of murder
The first special circumstance has to do with the way in which you allegedly committed the murder. Qualifying types include torturing your alleged victim or lying in wait for him or her to appear.
Type of weapon
The second special circumstance has to do with the type of weapon you allegedly used to murder your alleged victim. Qualifying weapons include the following:
Bomb or explosive device
Weapon of mass destruction
Armor-piercing ammunition
Firearm that you shot from a moving vehicle
Type of victim
The third special circumstance has to do with the identity of your alleged victim. Qualifying classifications include the following:
Peace officer
Federal law enforcement officer
Murder during commission of a felony
The fourth special circumstance arises if you allegedly murdered your alleged victim while committing or attempting to commit a separate felony. Qualifying felonies include the following:
Possible defenses
You have defenses available to you if charged with first-degree murder. Some of the most common defenses include the following:
Lack of premeditation on your part
Defense of someone else
Lack of mental capacity to realize the consequences of your actions, i.e., insanity
Since California suspended the death penalty, the two possible penalties if convicted of first-degree murder are a prison sentence of 25 years to life or life imprisonment with no possibility of parole.


A lot of people have checked out my article on SWOT Analysis: Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats (amazingly, an estimated 300,000 people Google "SWOT Analysis" each month, according to Google's own Keyword Tool).
If you want a variation on an exercise for strengths, opportunities, etc., there's another simpler one called D.O.S.
DOS stands for Dangers, Opportunities and Strengths.
1) Pick a new goal or thing that you're considering taking on.
2) List out the dangers of taking on such a project.
3) List out the opportunities of taking on such a project.
4) List out the strengths of taking on such a project.
I've been using DOS for a few years and I've learned it's important you go in the order of danger, opportunity, strength because psychologically it's best to end on a positive — this is one advantage the DOS model has over the SWOT model (in SWOT analysis you START positive with strengths and END on a negative with threats).
Here's a DOS example on a new challenge a friend of mine's business is having with fundraising (she needs to raise some money to fund her new startup).
She'll take her eye off the ball of a new product launch.
She has a new advisor she could add to her advisory board who is well connected and has raised money for a couple of different startups.
This woman is very persuasive and can make a great pitch!
In late 2007 I was introduced to "Coach Terry," a phone-based life coach.
I was dubious about the phone-only part but I gave it a shot for a few months and learned a ton.
The most important thing I learned from Terry was the importance of having a statement of purpose for anything substantial in my life (you can find a sample statement of purpose below).
I began writing a statement of purpose for my life, my business, my role in business, a holiday trip, my romantic relationship or even just my plan for a day.
Be purposeful about all things in your life…and you'll find that the outcome is more favorable.
Write down all the expectations you have about your purpose related to a certain topic (e.g. your life, job, relationship with someone, etc.) on the left-hand side of the page.
What do I really want my job to be?
What do I really need in my job?
What fears do I have about my job?
Spend at least 5 to 10 minutes on this part…and really open up!
Now, fresh from writing out those expectations, immediately write down one long sentence that starts with "The purpose of my __________ is to …" and the rest of the statement should flow pretty naturally (hint: if you have any challenge here, take your Expectations and group them into a few topics or themes and use those as your purpose statement).
Writing a purpose statement is that easy!
You now have the beginnings of the purpose statement — you can refine this now or later (if you're like me, you'll find that you remember new wants, needs and fears later on — so just add them in and iterate).
If you want to take this thing one step further, return to the expectations and to the right of each of them write down an "I will" statement.
The "I will" statement should be something actionable that you could do to be more purposeful.
Try to make each "I will" statement specific, measureable, actionable and timely.
Don't worry about ever doing such things — this isn't a to-do list — just write it down!
The act of merely writing them down will make you more mindful of your purpose.
I promise you that if you do this exercise, you will be more purposeful on whatever the topic.
Life Purpose Statement — My life purpose is to smile most of the time, develop myself constantly to find my greatness, be productive the vast majority of the time, give plenty to others and to have a positive vibration on the planet.
Business Purpose Statement — The purpose of our business is to have fun, help people and make a little money.
Purpose Statement For My Job – The purpose of my job is to make money, meet only with people I love and respect, work on things I enjoy and provide a flexible schedule to take care of the primary choices in my life. Check out 3 Easy Steps To Write A Purpose Statement For Your Next Job.
Purpose Statement For A New Management Meeting I Had To Start (see my Daily Huddle Article) — The purpose of the daily huddle meeting is to align the management team and to increase the speed of our growth.
Purpose Statement for My Wife — The purpose of the relationship with my life-mate is to have a passionate, healthy and positive relationship — while still enjoying some vices! — that leads to a larger family with children I adore.
I also highly recommend you check out this How To Write A Purpose Statement article by Steve Pavlina.
That lead to the following life purpose statement by Mr. Pavlina: To live consciously and courageously, to resonate with love and compassion, to awaken the great spirits within others, and to leave this world in peace.
A number of people ask me how I obtained a large network of contacts (I have 3,000 names in my iPhone).
Strangely, I've never thought of myself as a schmoozer…I'm actually fairly introverted.
Same Career Track — I have followed a fairly narrow career track of technology/media/Internet for 20 years now.
So, the 3,000 names isn't that impressive — it really just came from 20 years times of storing an average of 100+ contacts per year.
That's just 1 new contact I made (and stored) every 3 days. I'm sure you could do that (unless you're a monk at a convent in which case you're probably in the wrong place right now!).
But there is one secret I was reminded of a few years ago that I wished I had implemented earlier on in my career!
It's only briefly mentioned on page 37 of the soft-cover version of The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.
Get out a blank piece of paper or word processing document.
Make a list of the 40 most valuable people to you with one per line (exclude family).
To the right of each person's name, write down the name of the person who introduced you to that person (now you have two names on each of your 40 lines).
Now to the right of that second name, write down the name of who introduced you to that person.
If you can't remember who introduced you to a person (or perhaps you just met at school or work then leave that line alone.
Keep adding a person to the right of the previous person until you feel like you can't go any further.
Now, you'll start to notice that just a few people — in my case Chad, Ted, Erin and Dave — are responsible for connecting me to most my friends.
I'm a Connector too, though not as good as my Connectors.
Identify the Connectors in Your Life — Find out who they are and add value to their life (so they'll keep introducing you to others).
Ask Your Connectors Who Their Connectors Are — Connectors are usually very good at having many Connectors themselves.
Try Being a Connector Yourself — Offer to introduce people of value to others who need help!
Leverage LinkedIn — Read why You Must Be Linked In, an article about that amazing networking tool.
I was inspired enough by this exercise to take Chad & Ted out for a yummy steak dinner at Gene & Georgetti's in Chicago where I presented each of them with a personalized gift. It was of minimal value compared to the value they have given me through their Connections.
Thanks, Mr. Gladwell and thank you, Connectors!

The latest skincare range at KENZOKI, the "Duo with a Sheen", there is also a face cream – "Cream with a Sheen" * – and a care spray – "Spray with a Sheen".The products are available since early July and I have the cream get to test.
She promises a radiant smooth complexion moisture, protection against environmental influences and with a delicate shimmer. Actually I have prefer wearing it when I left the House without any Foundation or powder – the skin looks really nice and is not much more than a bit of mascara, Rouge and lip gloss to look fresh.
The care is one of the rice steam series, which stands for sensuality. Matching is the packaging in white pink, rice grains are shown. Comes in handy, I find the color schemes so you know what each other is always.
50 ml with an official shelf life of 12 months are included. The price of KENZOKI cream is approximately €50 in SourceMakeup.
The limited edition facial spray is sold out online unfortunately, possibly can be found on site.
I'm a big fan of the texture – it is really silky and feels right, how much moisture there course. It feels refreshing, but at the same time also relaxing on the skin. The scent does its part – a sensual, slightly powdery scent. It should be White Lotus, I can't say that (unfortunately I have no idea, smells like White Lotus), but it fits in any case perfectly to the cream.
She pulls a wonderfully fast and leaves a delicate, beautifully moisturized skin. Thanks to the light-reflecting pigments of pink skin shines beautifully and so will cast an even complexion.
Contained in the cream in addition to the White Lotus (with antioxidants) also Osilift (a molecule from oats that forms a flexible "film" on the surface of the skin, which smoothes the skin and tightens) and Pentecostal rose extract (to restore the skin's natural radiance). The heart of the formula is vegetable juice made rice (hence the rice steam series), which is rich in mineral salts, trace elements and essential oils. Silk extract ensures hydration of the upper layers of the epidermis and butcher's broom (a root stock of Halbstrauchs, which stimulates micro-circulation) is responsible for soft pink cheeks and a fresh complexion.
It is recommended the cream to put on in the morning – I sign it too. In the evening makes little sense, because there the whole effect will be lost – I don't need no light-reflecting agents.
The photo is blurry extra something, so that you can better see the pink shimmer. He is of course not so blatant, especially if the cream is indented, but it actually a lot does. Unfortunately I could somehow do not hold the photos – the effect on the face is in really really nice. If you have the opportunity to try KENZOKI, you should you the cream be sure times see and also apply whenever possible. Will be certainly impressed!
Of course it covers any impurities (Yes that is also not the purpose of it, I wanted to make it clear again only), you need to worry about themselves with concealer itself, but with a good skin you can forgo definitely Foundation, if you wear the "Cream with a Sheen". The complexion looks fresh and beautiful!
A nice (in the truest sense of the word) moisturizer with picturesque effect. On lazy days, if I fast fresh and want to look radiant, but have no desire on a large makeup I wear like this Crème and leave you my complexion. Possibly still a little powder, so I shine not too fast, but more doesn't need it also really. The light-reflecting pigments in pink make really nice skin.
In short: a care with a small extra, something other than ordinary moisturizers – of course with a corresponding price. He is worth but at KENZOKI! This is my second facial cream and I am really excited! The "vital ice cream", which I you → here presented, has me on hot days but very beautiful often refresh may!
I will definitely keep your eyes open and hope that I might still find the spray – I would like to buy me. It should be the cream also still in addition support, so would be a nice addition!

Mayaro MP urges govt to help pay for funerals of covid19 victims
1 week ago ·2 min read
In this file photo, Hindus burn their dead at the Caroni Cremation Site. The public health regulations prohibit open pyre funerals for people who die from covid19. –
Opposition Mayaro PM Rushton Paray has called on the Government to help pay for the funerals of covid19 victims.
In a media release on Saturday, Paray said: "The $7,500 funeral grant offered by the national insurance scheme has not been increased in eight years despite higher burial and cremation costs, especially during the current covid19 crisis."
Paray's concerns about the high costs of indoor cremations arose in light of the increasing amount of covid19 deaths, as well as the Government's decision to ban open-pyre funerals as a precaution to prevent the spread of the virus.
He charged that several constituents have lost more than one relative to the virus and have been unable to afford the steep funeral charges.
Paray said for Hindus, the Government's "illogical banning" of open-pyre cremations has led to an almost five-fold increase in funeral costs.
"The situation is dire, and government should immediately provide a funeral grant through the Ministry of Social Development and Family Services, to deserving applicants," Paray said.
"Those seeking to access the grant should be subjected to rigorous criteria to ensure there are no irregularities."
Only a few days ago, the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha (SDMS) wrote to funeral homes asking for disclosure on the cost of indoor cremations.
In Friday's Newsday, acting general secretary Vijay Maharaj said the Maha Sabha had learned that the cost for indoor cremations normally ranged between $10,000-$15,000 but have increased for covid19 bodies from $27,000-$50,000.
Paray said the Mayaro community has been an economic backbone to the country through the lucrative hydrocarbon sector for more than a generation.
"Despite their vast contributions to the nation's welfare, residents continue to endure rural neglect. Now they are pleading for the Government to provide social welfare assistance so they could afford funeral costs and avoid the agony of having to beg for community support."
President nominates four out of five PSC members for debate
The management of covid19 deaths includes the storage of bodies. The Association of Funeral Professionals has been looking for a mass storage facility to hold bodies and a statement will be made on this matter next week, its president Keith Belgrove told Newsday this week. Belgrove stressed that funeral homes were not overwhelmed and had the capacity to cremate bodies but those with covid19 were building up because their relatives were in quarantine and could not claim them or arrange a funeral.
On Saturday, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said regional health authorities (RHAs) cannot hold on to bodies indefinitely, which is why the Ministry of Health and the funeral homes have planned for the mass storage site, even though morgues are not at critical capacity.
At the virtual covid19 update, Deyalsingh said, "Resources and capacities are finite so we can't hold on to bodies indefinitely as much as we'd like to. So that is why we have to treat all of this with a degree of dignity and have the funeral homes store bodies."
He, therefore, urged families to claim the bodies of their loved ones as soon as possible and take them to a funeral home. He added that, even before the pandemic, some RHAs had arrangements with funeral homes to outsource storage.
During a previous briefing, Deyalsingh said, "The position at our morgues at this time is not critical, in this case. But we are always engaging in contingency planning with the private sector via Mr Belgrove."
Belgrove has said his organisation was searching for a new site after protests by residents and Couva South MP Rudranath Indarsingh moved the organisation to stop plans to have the site at Beaucarro Road, Freeport.


In my first year of secondary school I was asked to write a biography on an actor/actress/singer that I admired, my choice of course: Robin Williams. Who better? That eccentric quick-witted man who acted in some of my most favourite childhood films. Growing up in the 90's films like "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Jumanji" were that escape that I needed; fun, adventurous and engrossing these films (in my opinion) owe their success to Robin Williams. He brought an energy to the roles he played that is hard to describe, though with ADHD myself it isn't a trait that particularly needs explaining.
Robin Williams is one of those actors who although comfortable in comedy could play sensitive mature roles, often within the same film. Mrs. Doubtfire is an excellent example of this. Under the comedy generated by the duel roles of Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Doubtfire, the film themes resonated through even to my hyperactive and ignorant child self. So after vacuuming to Aerosmith's "Dude (Looks like a Lady)", voicing cartoon characters, to finally becoming a responsible father – the film was a whirlwind ride for me as a boy of… 5, 6? AND the finger? AND throwing a lime at Pierce Brosnan's head??
I will never pretend that Robin Williams changed my life, or lie and claim he is solely responsible for me getting over difficulties in my life – but what I will say is Robin Williams will always have a special place in my heart as a major representation of my childhood and I honestly couldn't imagine my childhood cinema experience being without him.
