The Abbotsford Early Years Centre, located in the Sweeney Neighbourhood Centre adjacent to Abbotsford Senior Secondary, is a one-stop location for parents to find out information about learning, health and family services - including: child care, parenting, child development, referrals for social supports, special needs services, early intervention therapies, and public health services.
There are currently 26 provincially branded Early Years Centres located across BC, which represent a range of innovative approaches offering one-stop, convenient access to information, services and referrals for families with young children. Each centre offers a variety of programs, services and supports tailored to the needs of their community.
To be a welcoming and supportive physical or virtual place.
To offer a range of services and programs encompassing health, education and early childhood development.
I have had the privilege of being a resident of Abbotsford for over 17 years. After moving to BC from Ontario, my husband and I decided to make Abbotsford our home. I have spent the last 9 years working for the Abbotsford School District as the Manager of Community Partnerships and was the Executive Director of the Abbotsford Early Childhood Committee prior to moving to the school district. I have a passion for early learning and supporting our families with children 0-6. I currently sit on numerous Community Boards, including the Abbotsford Community Foundation, the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre and Vibrant Abbotsford. I graduated with a degree in Law and Justice from Laurentian University, and I have also have a certificate in Not for Profit Management.
I firmly believe that our children are the future of our community, and we must pay attention to the health and resiliency of our youngest citizens. I am happily married with two amazing teenagers. When I am not working or volunteering, you will find me at the baseball field or a dance studio watching my children compete in the sports they love.
I have lived in Abbotsford for the past 10 years, after moving to BC from Alberta. I graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley with a degree in Criminology, and worked for the BC Centre for Safe Schools and Communities while attending university. I also worked for the provincial government for four years, as well as with children and families in the social work field. Although I have no kids of my own, I have 11 nieces and nephews who keep me connected to the world of young children. In my younger years I also spent a year living in Indonesia teaching English as a Second Language to children. I believe strongly in the value of education and play throughout our lifetime. When I'm not working or going to school, I am hiking or camping in the great outdoors or planning my next travel adventure.
The new centre is open to all parents on a free, drop-in basis.

Pollachi sexual assault: Cops make huge blunder; nation seeks justice
By Supriya Krishnamurthy
Bengaluru, First Published Mar 13, 2019, 8:25 PM IST
The Pollachi sexual assault case has been transferred to the CB-CID and MyNation spoke to advocates, politicians and activists to understand the next course of action post the egregious faux pas made by the cops
Pollachi: The Pollachi sexual assault case in Tamil Nadu turns uglier with each passing day. The latest being the fact that the victim's name and identity that should have been confidential was announced publicly. That too by Coimbatore's superintendent of police, R Pandiarajan. Such an error happened twice in fact.
On March 1, the superintendent of police in Coimbatore, R Pandiarajan, in a press conference, revealed the name of the victim and gave out details about her and the case.
As if that wasn't bad enough, on March 6, the police department further announced more details of another victim including her name, address, the college she studies in, etc.
The victim then submitted a petition to the Coimbatore district collector, requesting the protection of her identity.
She wrote in her letter: "Sir, nobody, including political parties, media and electronic media should use my name based on what happened to me. If they do, they are adding to my mental trauma and humiliation. They are, thereby, responsible for the consequences of such actions. The justice I deserve should not be re-directed by political parties for their political opportunism. They should not hamper justice. I humbly request that action be taken on those spreading false messages regarding this."
The Pollachi sexual assault case was first reported in February after one of the accused asked a college student to meet him in the car.
The accused then sexually assaulted her in the moving vehicle, all the while recording the visuals of the incident.
The girl then filed a complaint with the Pollachi police.
However, the incident turned murkier after the police found out that more than 50 girls had been subjected to sexual assault and hundreds of videos had been recovered from the accused.
To further escalate things, the prime accused in the case, who is known by the name Tirunavukkarasu is allegedly an aide of AIADMK's party member A Nagaraj.
MyNation spoke to Duraimurugan, lawyer for the AIADMK, who admitted that he knew far too much than he can reveal and found himself constantly stopping sentences midway.
Duraimuragan said that the party has expelled A Nagaraj and is waiting for him to prove his innocence.
When asked about what happens to the age old saying of 'innocent until proven guilty', Duraimurugan refused to reply.
The lawyer also went on to say that the party, through his expulsion, is trying to convey to the people that they are genuine.
Then one can only wonder whether this was just a move to please the people of Tamil Nadu.
MyNation also got in touch with advocate Sudha Ramalingam who said, "The perversity of the perpetrators is never taken into account and he gets away with it. But the victim is shamed even though she was at the receiving end of torture and trauma."
Sudha Ramalingam also added that there should be more number of forensic labs, which would then speed up the process of the investigations.
"Once the forensic reports are sent and the charge sheet is filed, then the case will move fast. But how long they'll take for filing the charge sheet is not known," added Sudha Ramalingam.
As far as the case of naming the victim goes, Sudha said, "The same thing that is meted out to media houses for naming victims of rape should be implemented for the police as well. This is unacceptable and insensitive."
Seeking the harshest of punishments is Women and Child Rights activist Brinda Adige, who said that those convicted in the case must be given life imprisonment without parole.
"Those who have sexually assaulted minors must be rigorously punished. And the political connections of these accused must be stripped of party positions," added Brinda Adige.
Adige went on to accuse the state, including the police, for its patriarchy and its inability to empathise with the victims.
Rekha Sharma, chairperson of the National Commission for Women in India spoke to MyNation and said that this was the first time that she was encountering an assault case of this magnitude.
"We have sought for a report from the DGP in Tamil Nadu. Once that comes, I will ensure that the safety of these women are taken into account and the case is put on fast track. Within three months, we will ensure action is taken against the convicts," assured Rekha Sharma.
The DMK too has conducted several protests demanding justice for the victims of the Pollachi case.
DMK spokesperson Saravanan has said that the matter is of concern and is not political. "One thing that DMK can assure is that this is not political and will not be forgotten post elections," said Saravanan.
The entire state of Tamil Nadu is actively involved in bringing the perpetrators to book. Thirunavakkarasu, Sathish, Sabariraj and Vasanthkumar - the four accused in the case- have been booked under sections of the Indian Penal Code and two other laws -- the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act and the Goondas Act.
The case has been transferred to the Crime Branch CID and the investigation will be headed by the CB-CID's superintendent of police Nisha Parthipan.

New COVID study indicates Massachusetts is in a 'cultural depression'
New England Public Media | By Jill Kaufman
Published April 27, 2022 at 11:43 AM EDT
Angel Gardner, National Dance Institute
Dancers with the National Dance Institute perform at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, Massachusetts.
The Mass Cultural Council has released a new COVID impact survey indicating that while many arts organizations have reopened, audiences have not returned to pre-pandemic times.
Even with historic levels of state funding and federal relief money "we're in a cultural depression," said Michael Bobbitt, executive director of the Mass Cultural Council.
Museums and show venues are open but people are not venturing out in the same way Bobbitt said, especially since many arts patrons are older and more vulnerable to the virus.
Museums and theaters are looking at how to attract new patrons Bobbitt said, and many of these things were revealed in the latest survey.
"I want to impress to people that the survey is a snapshot of the problem ... we still have 3 to 5 years before we'll be back, and it's a possibility that we may never come back to the way we were prior to the pandemic," Bobbitt said.
The council has conducted six COVID impact surveys since the pandemic began, the latest using 12 months of data starting in March 2021.
Nearly 300 cultural organizations reported $192,691,951 in lost revenue. More than half reported they laid off employees or reduced their hours.
According to previous surveys, since the start of the pandemic just over two years ago, 1,084 cultural organizations lost $781 million in revenue; 3,048 creative individuals lost $31.9 million in income.
This could be the final survey of its kind from the council. Bobbitt said their organization is connecting with MassCreative to write a "state of the state of the arts" report — which would be more illustrative about COVID's impact on the Massachusetts arts sector.

Why Asia and Europe are responding to the same crisis differently
Rolf Strauch is Chief Economist at the European Stability Mechanism.
COVID-19 has claimed more than 700,000 lives, infected over 19 million people, and decimated rich and poor economies alike. But, even as most of the world faces unprecedented recession, policy responses differ sharply. The contrast between Europe and Asia is a case in point.
Both regions are undoubtedly facing serious economic hardship. The European Commission expects the eurozone economy – which grew by 1.3% in 2019 – to contract by 8.7% this year. In the ASEAN+3 – the ten members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), plus China, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea – GDP growth is expected to plunge to 0% this year, from 4.8% in 2019.
Policymakers in both regions have responded aggressively, with unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus, as well as other measures to support the economy. But different economic structures, institutional arrangements, and vulnerabilities mean that the size, content, and distribution of support have been very different.
In the European Union, fiscal rules – particularly the stricture that a budget deficit cannot exceed 3% of GDP – were temporarily suspended, to give countries more space for expansionary fiscal policy. Of course, significant differences in countries' fiscal and financial space remain, so the size of the stimulus varies widely by country – from about 50% of GDP in Italy to a few percentage points in other countries, like Ireland.
In the ASEAN+3, the range is narrower, but not by much. Japan's stimulus is the largest, at 40% of GDP, while the other economies come in at around 10% of GDP. All told, fiscal measures, together with indirect financial measures (such as debt moratoriums), amount to nearly 29% of GDP in the eurozone, and 13% of GDP in the ASEAN+3.
Differences in the size of the crisis response can be explained partly by the extent to which guarantees have been used to support firms. In the eurozone, discretionary budgetary measures worth 5.3% of GDP are backed by liquidity facilities totaling almost 21% of GDP. Those facilities consist of public guarantee schemes – which channel liquidity through the banking system into the economy.
The ASEAN+3 economies have pursued discretionary fiscal measures on a similar scale – 5.1% of GDP, on average – but backed by liquidity-support schemes averaging just 5% of GDP (including temporary debt relief and moratoriums). The magnitude of tax and social-contribution deferrals is comparable in the eurozone and the ASEAN+3.
Both regions have also taken steps to support household income, though here, too, structural differences have translated into contrasting approaches. Eurozone economies have favored job-retention schemes, via short-time work compensation – partly a reflection of the region's robust social security systems. In many ASEAN+3 economies – which despite their economic heterogeneity, tend to have larger informal economies, more flexible labor markets, and weaker social safety nets – direct income-support schemes have proved effective.
Moreover, automatic stabilizers – such as taxation and the extension of unemployment coverage and social benefits – have played a much larger role in the eurozone, where they amount to about 5% of GDP. In most ASEAN+3 economies, such stabilizers are estimated to total 1.1% of GDP.
Another notable difference is institutional: in Europe, unlike in the ASEAN+3, existing structures allowed for complementary policy initiatives at the regional level. Even before the EU launched its unprecedented €750 billion ($886 billion) recovery fund, finance ministers had agreed to three programs worth a total of €540 billion.
First, the European Commission's Support to mitigate Unemployment Risks in an Emergency (SURE) can provide up to €100 billion of loans under favorable terms to member states. Second, the European Investment Bank is available to support businesses by mobilizing up to €200 billion. Finally, the European Stability Mechanism's Pandemic Crisis Support credit line supports spending on health care and preventive measures during the COVID-19 crisis, up to €240 billion.
Of course, the eurozone's integrated structure also creates risks – particularly if the COVID-19 crisis fuels destabilizing divergence among member economies. Some eurozone-wide initiatives – including the recovery fund – aim to mitigate this risk.
There are also notable differences in approach on the monetary-policy front. In emerging and developing economies, central banks have focused on cutting policy rates and injecting liquidity. Key measures among ASEAN+3 economies have included government guarantees on select bank-lending activities, temporary financing lines, and corporate-bond purchases. Moreover, regulatory forbearance encourages well-capitalized banking sectors to provide some relief to borrowers.
By contrast, central banks in advanced economies had little space to lower interest rates, so they have leaned heavily on quantitative easing. The European Central Bank expanded its €120 billion asset-purchase program and created a new temporary €750 billion Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program, which it subsequently increased by €600 billion.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the way structural differences, institutional frameworks, and the extent to which governments and financial systems have built up buffers shape crisis responses. But short-term emergency action is just the beginning.
It is impossible to say how the COVID-19 crisis will unfold. New waves of infection may necessitate renewed lockdowns, impede or even reverse economic recovery, and intensify fiscal pressures. Additional stimulus measures may be needed.
Even if the virus is brought under control relatively quickly, the road to recovery will be long. In Europe and Asia alike, policymakers must begin considering how to translate emergency measures into more sustainable policies. Their approaches may not be the same, but their objectives – safeguarding their economies' long-term prospects – should be.

Rothschild underscores at the outset that he has written a basic general survey of east-central Europe in the twentieth century through the end of communism. A distillation, he warns his readers, not a rich compendium of detail and personalities. What he has the grace not to trumpet is that this second edition builds on his classic history of this region during the interwar years published in 1974. Thus, while his book is indeed a relatively brief survey, it originates in and reflects a profoundly rich and deep historical perspective.
The last chapter, devoted to the collapse of communism, is too brief, and other histories already exist that do greater justice to this final phase. Nonetheless, few have told the whole story as well.

Unlike his first homer, Kris Bryant doesn't have to wait too long to reach his 100th
Posted 2:49 PM, May 10, 2018, by WGN Web Desk, Updated at 07:57PM, May 10, 2018
CHICAGO, IL - MAY 09: Kris Bryant #17 of the Chicago Cubs runs to first base during a game against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field on May 9, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. The Cubs defeated the Marlins 14-3. (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)
CHICAGO – It wasn't the easiest of waits to get on the board in the major leagues, but it did finally happen.
On May 9th, 2015, in his 21st game with the Cubs, Kris Bryant hit his first career home run against the Brewers at Miller Park. Considering his power in the minor leagues, it seemed to take a little longer than expected, but alas, the first arrived.
Not much else in the talented first baseman's career would come to him slowly after that. A Rookie of the Year was on tap for 2015. The next season came his first National League MVP award along with a World Series championship.
Fitting that the one thing that took Bryant a while to get for the first time in the major leagues would soon be turned into a record – and three years to the day nonetheless.
In the first inning Wednesday afternoon, May 9, 2018, the third baseman hit a line shot deep into the left field bleachers for his 100th career homer. The achievement comes quicker than any player in Cubs history, doing so in his 487th MLB game, beating out Ernie Banks by 13 games for the honor.
"You couldn't have scripted it any better," said Bryant on the timing of hitting the century mark in the majors in homers. "I guess it makes it even more special. It's pretty cool. I know it took me a while to hit my first homer. Pretty cool story to happen on the same day."
After waiting a few weeks for his first homer, the rookie hit 29 homers in 2015 then followed it up with 39 in his MVP season of 2016. While his average went up three points, Bryant saw a power dip in 2017 as he hit just 29 homers on the season.
This year Bryant continued to have a slow homer pace, hitting one in the first weekend series against the Marlins but then hit just one the entire month of April. As the weather has warmed up, so has Bryant, hitting four homers since May 1st, including three in the last four games.
"It's tough to put into words. It's obviously pretty cool. Honestly I knew I was on 99, but after I got in the dugout I really didn't know it till they put it on the scoreboard," said Bryant. "It feels really good. Anytime you accomplish something…I don't know how many people have done it before but I just feel really dang happy that I got there and hopefully there are many more."
Probably sooner than later if Bryant keeps it up.

The Mavericks lost to the Bulls again, this time by a score of 117-101. Luka Doncic obliterated the Bulls' defense, but in the end it didn't matter because he didn't get enough help from the rest of the Mavericks' roster. Doncic finished with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists. Lauri Markkanen led Bulls with 29 points. The Mavericks as whole shot poorly, and the defense was lacking, to say the least. Here are three important stats from the game:
6: Doncic's 3-pointers.
Doncic finished the game 6-of-11 from deep. Unfortunately, all six came in the first half, and Doncic seemed to shy away from 3-pointers in the second half, only attempting two in the third and fourth quarters. It's his season-high in makes behind the arc, and account for 25 percent of his total 3-pointers for the whole season.
2-of-20: What the rest of the Mavericks shot from 3.
To say the rest of the Mavericks struggled from deep would be an understatement. Wes Iwundu and James Johnson each made a 3-pointer and that was it outside of Luka. Especially off was Kristaps Porzingis, who went 0-for-7 from behind the arc.
The team's 25.8% 3-point shooting number is their worst since the first game of the season against the Suns, when they shot 24.3% from three.
76.2%: What the Bulls shot at the rim.
Chicago went 16-of-21 at the rim against Dallas. Porzingis ended up with two blocks, but otherwise the Bulls had their way at the hoop. Garrett Temple and Markkanen had an especially easy time at the basket, combining to go 9-of-11 inside.
The Mavericks are missing Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell, but Powell has been a non-factor on interior defense, so it's not clear how much better Dallas would have played with him on the court. It's something they'll have to fix going forward.

The village name of Fingest comes from the Anglo Saxon name Tinghurst, meaning 'wooded hill where assemblies are made'.
The manor of Fingest anciently belonged to St Albans Abbey, though in 1163 it was given to the bishop of Lincoln. After this time it was used as the country residence for the Lincoln diocese until 1547 when it was seized by the Crown. It was then given two years later to the Duke of Somerset who exchanged it with a property belonging to Wells Cathedral. The manor is now privately owned.
The tower of St Bartholomew's Church dates from the early Norman period and has a double vaulted roof.
The 15th century Chequers pub, opposite the church, is cosy and traditional with large open fires and french doors which open into the big garden with fine views over the Hambleden valley.
This is good walking country with quiet pastures sloping up to beech woods and you can make your way on foot from here to other equally characterful Chiltern villages.


Mrs. Danna Moore gets her blood taken on Thursday, Feb. 7. Many faculty also got involved and give back.
Lincoln Southwest held the blood drive on Thursday, Feb. 7.
The blood drive helps Southwest seniors get the chance to earn money toward their future college expenses.
One pint was taken from every student which, in turn, could be given to up to three different people.
"It feels good to help others without expecting anything in return," senior Ashley Kallhoff said.
Students signed up for certain time slots. When they arrived they were given paperwork to make sure they were qualified to give blood. Students got their finger pricked to check their iron levels and then were seated at donor chairs.
Volunteers distracted students as their blood was taken. Afterwards, students were given their choice of snacks and a drink to keep them hydrated and to prevent any light headedness.
Any students, age 16 and 17, had to get parent permission before giving blood. Any students below the age of 16 were not eligible to give blood.
Students felt that the experience was rewarding and the process was quite quick, lasting an average of 15 minutes to give blood and another 15 minutes to rest before going back to class.
Volunteering to give blood was an easy way to give back.
The Nebraska Blood Bank visits the school every year so the blood bank encourages you to donate next time they visit to support Southwest students and people in need.

A cycloaddition approach toward the synthesis of substituted indolines and tetrahydroquinolines
A. Padwa, M. A. Brodney, B. Liu, K. Satake, T. Wu
The intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of 2-substituted aminofurans (IMDAF) results in the formation of various indolines and tetrahydroquinolines. The isolation of these ring systems from the IMDAF reaction can be rationalized in terms of an initial [4 + 2]-cycloaddition that first produces an oxa-bridged cycloadduct, which was not detected since it readily underwent nitrogen-assisted ring opening. Proton exchange followed by an eventual dehydration provides the aromatic product. In certain cases, the intermediate cyclohexadienol can be isolated and independently converted to the final product in high yield. The starting 2-aminofurans were readily prepared from furanyl acyl azide by a Curtius rearrangement in the presence of an alcohol. Alkylation of the resulting N-alkyl carbamate with an alkenyl bromide allows for the synthesis of a wide variety of cycloaddition precursors. The scope of the IMDAF reaction was evaluated by using mono- and disubstituted alkenes, electron rich and electron deficient olefins, and acetylenic tethers. Cyclic 2-amidofurans were also synthesized using a related intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of 2-amido-substituted oxazoles which contain a tethered alkyne. This transformation represents a new route to this rare heterocyclic ring system. The sequential cycloaddition method was used for a formal synthesis of the pyrrolophenanthridone alkaloid hippadine.

The Biden administration continues to pursue its decarbonization goals, while other countries increase their reliance on coal because of its affordability and abundance.[i] China – the world's largest carbon emitter – pledged to stop increasing its carbon emissions "before 2030." In addition, President Xi Jinping pledged to "strictly control" coal consumption until 2025 and start cutting coal use in 2026 in order to reach maximum CO2 emissions by China before 2030.
This short paper provides some quick facts, mostly about China, which we thought readers might find interesting.[ii] However, keep in mind that India has the world's second largest coal fleet (233,000 MW plus 57,000 MW being built or under development) which is much larger than the U.S. coal fleet (200,000 MW).
China's coal fleet is enormous and growing.
China has the world's largest coal fleet totaling 1.074 million megawatts (MW) of coal-fired generation capacity. This is half the world's coal fleet (2.067 million MW) and almost the same size as the entire U.S. electricity supply (1.15 million MW of natural gas, coal, nuclear, renewables, etc.).
The chart below shows the number of coal plants in (1) China, (2) the rest of the world minus China and the U.S., and (3) the U.S. The world coal fleet (excluding the U.S.) is already 10 times larger (2,214 plants) than the U.S. fleet (225 plants), and the world fleet is growing while the U.S. fleet is shrinking.
China has added almost 580,000 MW to its coal fleet since 2010, while the U.S. retired approximately 100,000 MW of coal over the same period. In other words, China added almost 6 times more new coal generating capacity during 2010-2022 than the U.S. retired over the same period.
Worldwide, slightly more than 476,000 MW of coal-fired generation are under construction or in various stages of development. China has more than 290,000 MW of this total. For perspective, the existing U.S. coal fleet totals roughly 200,000 MW, but 93,000 MW have announced plans to retire by 2030. Also, EPA regulations are expected to increase coal retirements, especially during 2026-2028.[iii]
If China adds to its fleet all the coal under construction or development, the Chinese fleet will total 1.36 million MW. So by the end of this decade, China's fleet could be 14 times the size of the U.S. fleet (taking into consideration announced retirements and those likely to be caused by EPA regulations).
Also, China has financed more than 39,000 MW of coal projects in other countries since 2015.
China's emissions have been increasing.
The chart below shows that China's CO2 emissions (light blue line) last year had almost quadrupled since 2000. By contrast, U.S. emissions (red line) had declined over the same period.
CO2 Emissions 2000-2021 (billions of tonnes)
China is the world's largest emitter of energy-related CO2 emissions at 12.86 billion tonnes last year, slightly more than 30% of global emissions. The U.S. was second at 5.21 billion tonnes, slightly less than 13% of global emissions.
China's CO2 emissions increased by 750 million tonnes between 2019 and 2021. China's increase counteracted a reduction of 716 million tonnes by the rest of the world during the same time period.
The chart below shows estimated future lifetime CO2 emissions from (1) the current world coal fleet (276 billion tonnes, including China and the U.S.), (2) China's fleet (171 billion tonnes) and (3) the U.S. fleet (only 9 billion tonnes).[iv] (India's lifetime CO2 emissions are 35.4 billion tonnes from its existing coal fleet plus coal under construction or development.) Emissions from the coal fleets of China and other countries represent 97% of future CO2 emissions from the world's coal fleets; the U.S. represents 3%.
Lifetime CO2 Emissions (tonnes)
China's coal consumption is also increasing.
China accounted for 52% (4.13 billion tonnes) of the world's total coal consumption (7.91 billion tonnes) in 2021 and is projected to increase consumption an additional 136 million tonnes by 2024. U.S. coal consumption was 508 million tonnes in 2021.
By 2024, China's coal consumption (4.27 billion tonnes) is projected to be 10 times greater than U.S. coal consumption (431 million tonnes).
China's 14th Five-Year Plan (March 2021) promotes coal production as a way to enhance the country's energy security.
[i] The Biden administration has goals of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% in 2030, achieving zero-carbon electricity by 2035, and reducing economy-wide emissions to net zero by 2050.
[ii] Data and other information in this paper are taken from Global Coal Plant Tracker, July 2022; Climate Action Tracker, October 2022; Energy Information Administration 2022 Annual Energy Outlook; International Energy Agency (IEA) Coal 2021 – Analysis and forecast to 2024, December 2021; IEA Global Energy Review: CO2 Emissions in 2021, March 2022; CNN, November 3, 2021; Boston University Global Development Policy Center, China's Global Power Database, accessed December 14, 2022; Associated Press, "China promotes coal in setback for efforts to cut emissions," April 25, 2022; and a data base that tracks announced U.S coal retirements.
[iii] Six EPA regulations are expected to have a major impact on the U.S. coal fleet: Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Ozone Transport Rule, ACE replacement rule, Regional Haze Rule, and possibly revised Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. EPA estimates that its proposed Ozone Transport Rule will cause the retirement of 23,000 MW of coal-fired generation by 2025. There are no retirement estimate yet for the other rules.
[iv] Emission projections are from Global Plant Tracker, July 2022. The projections assume a 40-year life span for coal plants. For plants already older than 40 years, 5 more years of operation are assumed.

High Legion
The High Legions are the four primary legions of the charr race and hold the highest form of organization within charr society. After the last Khan-Ur's death, the leadership of the charr was split into the four large legions, each led by claimants of one of the four children of the last Khan-Ur. Each High Legion is named after the primus warband of each legion and each is led by an imperator, who claim to be direct descendants of the Khan-Ur. The High Legions are the Ash Legion, Blood Legion, Flame Legion, and Iron Legion.
Each High Legion has claim to a different portion of charr territory. The Iron Legion holds control over Ascalon; the lands to the east of Ascalon, beyond the Blazeridge Mountains, are said to be held by the Blood Legion, though their homelands lie to the north, in an area previously known to be under Flame Legion's influence. It is uncertain where the Ash Legion originates from, but all four High Legions show interest to and operate in the region of Ascalon—Iron, Blood and Ash cooperating from within the Black Citadel and Flame Legion from their base of operations, the Citadel of Flame.
In the biography, charr characters must decide which High Legion the character belongs to. The Flame Legion is excluded from this list.
The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on High Legion.

Jana Kramer and Husband Mike Caussin Get Candid About His Sex Addiction and Infidelity
By Liz Calvario 5:22 PM PDT, April 2, 2019
Rich Polk/Getty Images for iHeartMedia
Jana Kramer and husband Mike Caussin are opening up like never before.
The country singer and the former NFL player have gone through a public breakup, only to rekindle their marriage and start fresh. Now, the couple is publicly speaking about Caussin's infidelity, and his struggle with sex addiction.
"We're not #relationshipgoals, and in a way that everything is perfect because it's not," Kramer says in a new interview with ABC News, published on Tuesday. "We've had more downs [and] lows than highs, but we're fighting through those things."
The athlete then gets candid about his addiction, explaining that "it manifests in different ways for different people." "It doesn't come from me wanting to have sex -- it's me feeling a certain way and from my entire life looking back I just used sex as kind of my escape," he describes, adding that when he cheated he told her, "We're honest with one another and said we haven't been perfect, let's be perfect for each other, or try to be."
When blatantly asked how many times he cheated, Caussin defers. "You know, details like that are something that Jana and I still kind of keep within our partnership and our relationship," he explains, before being asked if he cheated more than once. "Yes, more than once. Yes."
The pair got married in May 2015 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Jolie, in January 2016. In August 2016, they separated, but renewed their vows in December 2017. Just last November, they welcomed their second child together, a son named Jace.
During the sit-down, Caussin reveals that he spent 60 days in a residential treatment facility near Nashville and has been in a 12-step program for the nearly three years since. The former One Tree Hill actress also shares how she discovered her husband was unfaithful.
"I saw a lot of numbers [on his phone] that didn't add up," she recalls. "I found out more things and I was about to play a show, which was so hard to have to mask that. But we had talked about 20 minutes before the show and you know, he told me things that completely rocked me. [I was] like, 'This can't be happening. There's no possible way that this is happening. He's my husband and we love each other and we have a daughter and we have a happy life.' It felt like a double life."
We are that family. #matching #love. Soaking up all our beach days before we make the big move back to Nashville.
A post shared by Jana Kramer (@kramergirl) on Mar 31, 2019 at 7:26am PDT
The two continue to work on their marriage and relationship, even if the former football player does relapse.
"I'm trying to learn a new way of living that I've never known existed that I didn't know how to do. I'm trying to ride a bike you know all over again without training wheels just trying to figure it out," Caussin, who is now "a year sober," explains.
"I was so envious about a perfect relationship," Kramer expresses. "Now I love our relationship because we fought to stay together and we fought for each other and stayed together."

Early voting begins as midterms season enters final phase
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Much of the political world is consumed with a battle over a Supreme Court nominee, an expanding international trade war and President Donald Trump's social media posts. Yet here in Minnesota, the first votes of the 2018 midterm elections are being cast.
Voting machines are set up inside city buildings. A series of get-out-the-vote rallies is scheduled. And each party is spending millions of dollars to push its supporters to the polls.
While Election Day 2018 is technically Nov. 6, Minnesota law allows in-person voting to begin Friday — a full 46 days early — making it the first battleground state to begin casting actual votes in the broader fight for control of Congress.
Voters in every corner of the nation will soon follow.
South Dakota also opens early voting on Friday, and four more states follow in the next six days, including key states including New Jersey and Missouri. California, Montana and Arizona are among seven others that allow early voting in the subsequent two weeks.
It may feel early, but make no mistake: The final phase of the 2018 midterm season has begun.
"It's like Election Day every day," said Jake Schneider, spokesman for Minnesota Republican Senate candidate Karin Housley. "It really changes the dynamic of an election. It really does. And it's exciting."
The commencement of voting in key states underscores the heightened significance of virtually every major development — political or otherwise — on the state and national stage in the coming days. Economic indicators, the president's tweets, new revelations in the special counsel investigation and even the weather begin to matter much more as voters decide whether to go to the polls.
It's been an inauspicious beginning to the voting season for Trump and his Republican Party, which continue to struggle under the weight of near-constant self-imposed crises and chaos.
The president escalated a trade war with China in recent days, triggering new waves of concern among farmers and major employers across Minnesota and beyond. And the GOP's continued embrace of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, despite an allegation of decades-old sexual misconduct, threatens to further alienate suburban women, a key constituency this fall that has already largely turned away from Trump.
Political parties and their allies are ramping up voter outreach programs in several states to mark the beginning of the early voting phase.
The Democratic allies, Priorities USA Action and the Senate Majority PAC, for example, are launching a multimillion-dollar digital ad campaign next week as part of a voter mobilization program across five states that targets African-Americans, young Hispanics and other young people.
One of the new ads, shared with The Associated Press, highlights the rise of white supremacists in the Trump era. In another, a young black man says, "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to vote this year."
As is the case in many midterm battlegrounds, outside groups for several weeks have been dumping money into Minnesota, which features at least four competitive House elections, two U.S. Senate contests and a governor's race.
Each of the political parties deployed paid staff and volunteers on the ground several months ago to identify supporters and persuade them to vote.
Democrats are focused on turning out "communities of color" in Minnesota, particularly in the areas around Minneapolis that feature large Somali and Southeast Asian populations, according to Ramsey Reid, the Midwestern regional director for the Democratic National Committee.
Democrats are working to ensure that minorities, who are considered more sporadic voters in some cases, comprise more than 8 percent of the Minnesota electorate, Reid said, noting that they made up less than 6 percent in the last midterm elections.
Republicans are focused on trying to bank their own set of "low-propensity" voters in the initial days of early voting, a group identified through several months of on-the-ground work with its expanding network of field staff and volunteers, according to Matt Dailer, the political strategy director for the Republican National Committee.
The RNC has a permanent presence on the ground in Minnesota and 19 other early voting states, he said, noting that the GOP is running a series of nationwide get-out-the-vote tests beginning Oct. 1 to ensure its system is running smoothly.
Minnesota faces an unusually high number of competitive races this fall.
Recent polling gave narrow leads to Democratic Rep. Tim Walz in the gubernatorial race and incumbent Democratic Sen. Tina Smith in the special election to fill the final two years of Democratic former Sen. Al Franken's term, but their Republican opponents were within striking distance.
And four of the state's eight congressional races are considered tossups. Two of those races, in southern Minnesota's 1st District and northeastern Minnesota's 8th District, are for open seats held by retiring Democrats, and they afford Republicans two of their pickup opportunities in the nation. That's essentially the only place where the GOP is poised to flip a Democratic seat. In the suburban 2nd and 3rd districts, however, Democratic challengers stand good chances of defeating Republican incumbents.
Minnesota Democrats have planned an early vote campaign blitz this weekend with a series of rallies and surrogate appearances featuring people like former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and David Wellstone, the son of the late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone.
After a Friday rally at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Smith and other Democrats plan to encourage attendees to hop on the nearby light-rail train and head downtown to vote.
Democratic congressional candidate Angie Craig, who's taking on GOP incumbent Rep. Jason Lewis in the 2nd District, was planning her own "Early Vote Weekend of Action."
"This race will come down to who turns out to vote between Friday and Election Day," Craig told the AP. "We need every Democrat to turn out for this election."
Minnesota is among 37 states that offer "no-excuse" absentee voting or another kind of early voting this year. Roughly 40 percent of ballots nationwide were not cast in a polling place on Election Day in the 2014 and 2016 elections.
Minnesota's no-excuse absentee voting system has soared in popularity since it rolled out in 2014. Voters don't have to give a reason for voting early, as some states require, and they can change their minds until a week before Election Day.
"We no longer have an Election Day; we have an election window," said Wendy Underhill of the National Conference of State Legislatures. "It's beginning now."

In the latest e-newsletter from Craft & Vision is an article on "Visual Storytelling" by Andy Biggs. His seven tips enumerate the types of shots you want to include in your slideshow or other presentation to tell the story of your adventure.
Here is a story from a visit to a working Montana cattle ranch.
These ideas are very similar to the Life photo magazine formula that was so successful for many decades. Read the full article for visual examples and further explanations. Following these suggestions will make your slideshow or print portfolio stand out.


The re-commissioning of the turbine is continuing this week.
This process involves various tests to ensure the turbine is working safely and efficiently. During these tests you may see steam coming from the facility at intervals accompanied by some noise. We anticipate that this will take place mid-week and during the hours of 9am and 5pm.
On completion of the re-commissioning process, the facility will recommence the generation of electricity and exportation to the national grid. We will publish a further update to confirm when this has occurred.


This archaeological investigation at the site of Pompeii, Italy, which was made from Nov. through Dec. in 1990, focused on two purposes : Pompeii, its urbanism and functions as a city.
In order to elucidate the urbanism, the investigation is concentrated on the eastward district of Via Stabia, which runs through meridionally the city, the district so-called "new city". Concerning the urbanism of this district, there are several hypotheses among the scholars. As the result of our research, surveying the Insulae at the edge of the sidewalks surrounding them, we could make clear that in this district the Insulae were formed considering the geographical feature. To be brief, the rectangular-shaped Insulae are formed on the plateau, while the parallelogram-shaped Insulae are found on the slope. The trapezoid-shaped Insulae, the conjunctional form between the two types, is found just at the end of the slope to the plateau. The measurement data were inputted into the computer in order to analyze the standard for the survey.
In the meantime the edging stones were recorded and analyzed by their sorts and the standard to follow the sequence of the construction of roads.
For the research to approach the urban functions, we took notice of the wheel ruts left on the pavements. It is already known that the wheel span of a carts at that time had a standard of some 140cm. Since many roads are too narrow to allow the on-coming traffic, there must have been some regulations on the direction of traffic. By our investigation, observing the directions and the shapes of the ruts and their relation to the sidewalks or stepping-stones, the courses of the carts were made clear on some roads. These facts would be integrated as the traffic system all over the city of Pompeii.

THE TRICOLOR – A SHOCKING DEBATE!
This was not a news item that had touched me; in fact, I had dismissed it as just another routine decision by the Government – the one on the National Flag, our beloved Tirangaa. Ok, I thought : so universities have to display the flag; nothing passed my mind – no issue, no question, no controversy. Therefore, I found it surprising when I started getting whatsapp updates on how Arnab is liked for his stance; I also ran into a couple of facebook updates on his now-famous Newhour Debate on the Tirangaa issue.
My interest was piqued, and I watched the programme – with bile rising in my throat, tears in my eyes and with a mind numbed and shocked into total disbelief at the display – nay, the mind-numbingly tasteless display that was being presented on the screen. I mean, seriously – you are actually debating about whether or not the decision to tell universities to fly the flag is a correct one? Now how can this be a matter of debate?
The arguments presented by the people objecting were strange; I would call them funny if the matter weren't so emotionally charged. Liberalism, Intervention, Timing, Extremist Nationalism etc were the reasons trotted out. Some of these, on the face of it, sound perfectly reasonable; especially when viewed individually, and on their own; but the moment you place them in the context of the National Flag, our Tirangaa – it becomes another matter entirely. This is, frankly, a routine albeit laudable decision taken by the Government, one which really has no basis for argument.
This is about the National Flag, which is the symbol of our nation. It isn't about anything small; The Flag is what represents India. Any which way you look at it, this is a big, big deal. The Flag is what The Army fights for, The Air Force fights for, The Navy fights for, the Sportsman representing India in international events takes pride in, the scientific achiever in conferences sits under, the diplomats sport on their embassies, the normal Indian loves and takes pride in. People have died trying to protect the flag, and what it symbolizes, and yet this is an issue in some minds?
The questions raised center around Timing of the Decision, Politically expedient, Liberalism, Intervention, Autonomy of Universities, Extremist Nationalism. Take timing – how can any time be wrong to fly our Tricolor? Are we saying that it is wrong to fly the tricolor? Why on earth? Why should we not fly the flag – and in our own country? How can stoking nationalism and a feeling of pride in our nation be wrong at any point in time? That is a positive step, so how does it acquire negative connotations? The logic escapes me!
And how is it politically expedient? Is the Government peddling its own party? No! It is simply saying to Central Universities : Fly the National Flag! Ok, fine – this decision is coming in the middle of some protests in one, two or three universities, agreed and granted. So what? The decision to fly the Flag applies to all Universities, for starters. Next, The Flag represents India, and stokes a feeling of love and pride in our nation. So how can that be wrong? It might even be a great decision – given that at least I feel an immense satisfaction, calm and pride whenever I spot the flag!
Any Central University is an Indian entity, first of all. So the question of Autonomy or intervention is also moot. Autonomy does not mean that you do not fly the Flag! How is asking the University to Fly the Flag an issue of Autonomy? I heard one professor state the University Flag flies –but how can this relatively unimportant flag compare with the National Flag? Which flag is more important- and how can you object to the national Flag being given precedence over your own flag? As an ex-soldier observed, and I concur – are these not in Indian Territory, and Indian Institutions? How can anyone compare the National Flag with a local flag?
The even more amazing argument is Autonomy. Just how is the Flag, the Tirangaa, intervening in anyone's autonomy of functioning? It is not intervening in your day-to-day functioning, or stopping you from your duties. As an Indian University, how can the National Flag intervene? It should be the opposite – it should stoke pride, and a desire to work and study harder for the sake of the nation! That is actually strengthening the duties and tasks of Universities, who are responsible for delivering trained people for Indian Institutions and companies, taking forward the cause of the nation!
The saddest argument presented is Extreme Nationalism; how can flying the Flag be termed Extreme Nationalism? What is so damning about flying our Tricolor that some people term it Extreme? Absolutely nothing, that is what! The Flag is representative of All India and all its citizens, and is a powerful symbol of our nation and our pride. What is extreme in asking that it be flown? It is simply a powerful and symbolic reminder of our duties towards our nation!
The Universities of India have regularly been producing two kinds of people – patriots who stay in India, join the Armed Forces, The Police, The IAS, Universities and Schools, Hospitals, Other Services, Private Companies in India, open their business in India, and contribute in myriad ways to the development of our holy motherland. They work hard, combat various problems and imperfections that our land is famous for – but stay, struggle, live, love, and contribute here.
These same Universities also produce a steady stream of people who leave India, go abroad, and even surrender their citizenship. These people forget India – to say nothing of The Tirangaa, and prefer to contribute to other nations, other economies, and other flags than our own. This is a hard reality, and is an inescapable fact. Thus, in a small way, flying the National Flag on the Universities – even if it converts one student to stay, it will have been well worth the effort. Ek Se Ek Jude Ek Zanjeer Bane is what I say.There have also been protests that, as per some Media reports, have some objectionable content. In that light, any even small step that can reinforce nationalist feelings in howsoever small a way should be welcome – and the National Flag is by no means a small step!
People from these same universities who stay in India indulge in various acts that harm India in many ways, like Corruption, and many other social and other evils; as well as other, more grievous but thankfully minor incidents or one-off incidents that have occurred. There is a strong and crying need for a surge in nationalist sentiment so that the Agenda of development can be carried forward, and where better to start that than the place that churns out the people who will carry forward the idea of India, who will eventually go on to lead India?
This has, in many ways, been the most shocking and sad debate I have seen in my life. That The National Flag, for which people have died, for which countless young Indians have laid their lives without a second thought – should be a subject of such a sorry debate is mind-numbing, and totally unacceptable. I agree with those who say that this is not open to negotiation; that this is a long-overdue step that has been taken by a superb Government. Credit where credit is due.
It is surprising that some people find this decision of flying The National Flag at Universities objectionable, and is being politicized by some quarters. It is fine if these places of education produce people who forget the flag, the nation and move abroad? It is even a matter of pride with regard to how many people have gone abroad – but no, the call to simply fly the National Flag is met with objections from some quarters? This symbolic gesture is met with various inane objections and politicization! Why cant we just accept it as a routine, symbolic gesture rather than a political one?
We need a symbolic gesture, a symbol, a reminder as it were, of the idea of India in these trying times. Symbols are known to have a powerful presence and impact, and that is why, given the recent history, it is also good to have this small but potentially powerful step. Full marks to the Government for thinking of this. We need to drive in the idea of India deep into the minds and hearts of all the people- and where better than a University to start this? In conclusion, can only state: People have died for this very Tirangaa. Respect that at least, if nothing else.

All Players And Officials Involved In 'Mind-Bogglingly Shameful' Nigerian Goal Scandal Given Life Bans
23rd, July 2013
By Chris Wright
Just a little follow up to a story we featured on Pies a couple of weeks ago, in that every single player and official involved in the "mind-boggling show of shame" that saw two Nigerian lower league sides win 79-0 and 67-0 on the same weekend have been banned for life by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
In a desperate bid to bump up their respective goal differences, Plateau United Feeders scored 72 second-half goals in their 79-0 win over Akurba FC, while Police Machine FC stuck 61 goals past Babayaro FC in the second half of their 67-0 victory.
"The NFF have accepted the recommendations and they would be communicated to the clubs, the state FA's, CAF and FIFA," announced NFF vice-president Mike Umeh. "We will publish all the names of players and officials with their photographs and details."
All four teams have been banned from the game for the next 10 years, while an NFF disciplinary committee has also recommended that the match officials involved in the two matches should all be given life bans too.
Never mess with the NFF. They'll hit you like a ton of neutron bombs.

Couple this message from our Lord, "Without me, you can do nothing," with Saint Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, "Brethren, God who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God: not because of works, lest any man should boast." A brief pause, Saint Paul here is not saying that our actions have no merit, that the little good that we accomplish in this life is of no value or importance, this would stand contrary to Christ's teaching and example. Saint Paul is protecting his spiritual charges in Ephesus, and us too, from the awful sin of pride. We are saved through faith and works, our salvation is from the Lord. In the Epistle of James, considered by the Church, yes, the same Church which would author and eventually compile the canon of the New Testament in the 4thcentury, to be the first text of the New Testament, in James' letter, this the bondservant of our Lord, the first Bishop to the See of Jerusalem, martyred for his faith in the year 62 AD, from him we read, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." Saint James writes these words following the martyrdom of Aghios Stephanos, Saint Stephen the first Deacon of the Church. Deacon, or rather in the Greek, Diakonos, meaning in English, 'Servant.' A person who performs service to others. Both faith and works matter and are unto our salvation, in fact, they matter a great deal as we will again see.
Continuing with the Epistle, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Listen carefully again to this last verse and keep it in your heart as we prayerfully meditate upon the words of the Gospel. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." We are created for good works.
As we have heard before, we have been saved, we are being saved, and we will be saved. We alone, without our Lord can do nothing, and we are created for good works. Our Lord and Savior, the hope of our salvation, Jesus Christ, offers a powerful message in the Gospel reading of the Rich Man and Lazarus.
There was a man of great wealth and possessions whose name is of no import, because his life was forgotten and his name lost, as he too was lost in the worldly abyss of sinful chaos and death. This rich man sowed in his life the seeds of egoism, pride and blindness. Ignoring the urgent needs of Lazarus, who, full with sores and empty of stomach, lay at his gate. Day in and day out, the Rich Man, adorned with fine purple linen and full with life's pleasures, passed poor Lazarus, never even remembering this poor beggar's existence. Both the Rich Man and Lazarus died, but even before the Rich Man died, he was already buried, buried under his possessions as Saint John Chrysostom says by, 'couches, rugs, furnishings, sweet oils, perfumes, large quantities of wine, varieties of food and flatterers.' When Lazarus died, he was carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham, the one who shared philoxenia, hospitality, to the angels, the Trinity. As Lazarus was in heaven, the Rich Man, the poorest soul was in the bowels of death, pleading to have Lazarus dip his finger in water just to cool his tongue, the Rich Man's cries were ignored, he was truly now without hope and in complete separation from goodness and virtue by a great gulf, an impassable chasm.
Without our Lord we can do nothing, yet with Him our true help, nothing is impossible. "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes," Mark 9:23. Let us follow in the awesome example of our Lord, and may He grant us His patience, love and compassion, so that each of us may go forth and accomplish the good works for which we are created. Let us soberly reflect upon the situation of the Rich Man in the Gospel passage and may we never be so bold and selfish as to ignore the suffering of others. There are more Lazarus' about then we care to realize, may our Lord illumine us as to how best to serve and embrace each one, always and forever, amen.
