Debate on the Address
[Second Day]

That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
Most Gracious Sovereign.
We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom and Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.—[Mr.George Howarth.]
Foreign Affairs and Defence
The Secretary of State for Defence (Mr. Geoffrey Hoon): Mr. Speaker, may I begin, on behalf of the Foreign Secretary, by extending his apologies to the House for his absence today? He is in the middle east undertaking visits in relation to Iraq and the middle east peace process.
In the past year, the Government have set out their forward thinking on foreign affairs and defence. My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has published the Foreign and Commonwealth Office strategy, "UK International Priorities", and I have published two White Papers, "Delivering Security in a Changing World" and, most recently, the "Future Capabilities" paper. Each of these papers analyses the rapidly changing security environment, setting out how the United Kingdom should face the challenges that confront the world at the start of this new century.
Threats to our security—and to the security of our allies and partners—that have emerged since the end of the cold war are now more disparate and more diverse, but they remain just as real, just as immediate and just as dangerous. The sheer scale of the ruthless, fanatical violence of international terrorist groups across the world is without precedent. Since the attacks in New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, there have been appalling atrocities in places as far apart as Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Morocco, Spain and Russia. Their common thread is their appalling barbarity: the deliberate and indiscriminate targeting of innocent people to cause the maximum loss of life and suffering.Nor must we forget the individual victims of terror. We are saddened and appalled by the murder of Margaret Hassan, who had devoted her life to helping the people of Iraq.
In addition, we must deal with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the technology associated with their means of delivery. The ambitions of some states to acquire such weaponry is profoundly disturbing; the ambition of terrorist groups to do so is simply terrifying. We believe that these are the greatest threats to our security, and confronting them is the perhaps the single most important challenge that the civilised world faces today.
Jeremy Corbyn (Islington, North) (Lab): I agree with the Secretary of State wholeheartedly about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. Will he have an opportunity during his speech to set out the Government's position on the non-proliferation treaty conference next year, and on the possibility of Britain developing a new generation of nuclear weapons when Trident submarines have come to the end of their life?
Mr. Hoon: I am sure that my hon. Friend the Minister for Trade and Investment, who will wind up this debate on behalf of the Foreign Office, will deal with the first part of my hon. Friend's question. That is the traditional role of those who wind up in these debates, as right hon. and hon. Members will be aware. On the second matter, my hon. Friend has asked me this question on a number of occasions, and I am delighted to give him the same answer: this is not a matter for this Parliament, but it obviously will be a matter for a future Parliament to debate.
There are further challenges posed by weak and failing states, where all too often political mismanagement, ethnic and religious tensions or economic collapse can lead to humanitarian crises. Climate change is beginning to threaten the long-term supply of food and water, forcing migration and dislocation. All too often, the misery and injustice of poverty, hunger and disease are exacerbated by weak and corrupt government and the breakdown of law and order.
Terrorists feed on such lawlessness. Failing states, with territory that cannot be governed, provide the ideal haven from which terrorist groups can plan, train and operate. There are, of course, no purely military solutions to those challenges. There is a vital role for the armed forces, but that must be seen in a wider context—the diplomatic, political, economic, developmental and, indeed, cultural solutions that are also required.
The United Kingdom must not fail in the responsibility we share with our partners in the international community to ensure that we address the causes, not just the consequences, of failing states.


The Conference, co-organized by GGI and five key partners dedicated to international peace and security, will provide a forum for public discussion of the results and implications of the Global Peace Index 2017.
Mr Steve Killelea will present the results and figures of the Global Peace Index 2017.
Mr. Steve Killelea founded the IEP in 2007 to advance the cause of sustainable development and peace, after building two successful international high tech firms, and one of the largest overseas aid organizations in Australia (The Charitable Foundation). Under his leadership the IEP was recognized as one of the top 50 most impactful philanthropic gifts in Australia's history. In 2010 Mr. Killelea was honoured as Member of the Order of Australia, for his work on the global peace movement, and the provision of humanitarian aid.
We hope to welcome you all and kindly ask you to confirm your participation by June 9, here.

Richard Allen Boone (June 18, 1917 – January 10, 1981) was an American actor who starred in over 50 films and was notable for his roles in Westerns, including his starring role in the television series Have Gun – Will Travel.

Early life
Boone was born in Los Angeles, California, the middle child of Cecile (née Beckerman) and Kirk E. Boone, a corporate lawyer and fourth great-grandson of Squire Boone, frontiersman Daniel Boone's brother. His mother was Jewish, the daughter of immigrants from Russia.

Richard Boone graduated from Hoover High School in Glendale, California. He attended Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he was a member of Theta Xi fraternity. He dropped out of Stanford prior to graduation and then worked as an oil rigger, bartender, painter, and writer. In 1941, Boone joined the United States Navy and served on three ships in the Pacific during World War II, seeing combat as an aviation ordnanceman, aircrewman, and tail gunner on Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers, and ended his service with the rank of petty officer first class.

Acting career

Early training
In his youth, Boone had attended the San Diego Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad, California, where he was introduced to theatre under the tutelage of Virginia Atkinson.

After the war, Boone used the G.I. Bill to study acting at the Actors Studio in New York.

Broadway
"Serious" and "methodical", Boone debuted on the Broadway theatrical scene in 1947 with Medea, starring Judith Anderson and John Gielgud; it ran for 214 performances. He was then in a production of Macbeth (1948).
Boone appeared in a short-lived TV series based on the play The Front Page (1949–50), and on anthology series such as Actors Studio and Suspense.

He returned to Broadway in The Man (1950), directed by Martin Ritt, with Dorothy Gish; it ran for 92 performances.

Elia Kazan used Boone to feed lines to an actress for a film screen-test done for director Lewis Milestone. Milestone was not impressed with the actress, but he was impressed enough with Boone's voice to summon him to Hollywood, where he was given a seven-year contract with Fox.

20th Century Fox
In 1950, Boone made his screen debut as a Marine officer in Milestone's Halls of Montezuma (1951).  Fox used him in military parts in Call Me Mister (1951) and The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel (1951). He had bigger roles in Red Skies of Montana (1952), Return of the Texan (1952), Kangaroo (1952) (directed by Milestone), and Way of a Gaucho (1952).

Kazan directed him in Man on a Tightrope (1953) and he had good parts in Vicki (1953) and City of Bad Men (1953)

In 1953, he played Pontius Pilate in The Robe, the first Cinemascope film. He had only one scene in the film, in which he gives instructions to Richard Burton, who plays the centurion ordered to crucify Christ. Boone also appeared in the second Cinemascope film, Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953).

Boone made two films for Panoramic, which distributed through Fox: The Siege at Red River (1954) and The Raid (1954). He then left the studio.

Medic
During the filming of Halls of Montezuma, he befriended Jack Webb, who was then producing and starring in Dragnet. Boone appeared in the film version of Dragnet (1954).

Webb was preparing a series about a doctor for NBC. From 1954–56, Boone became a familiar face in the lead role of that medical drama, titled Medic, and in 1955 received an Emmy nomination for Best Actor Starring in a Regular Series.

While on Medic, Boone continued to appear in films and guest-star on television shows. He was cast in Westerns such as Ten Wanted Men (1955) with Randolph Scott, Man Without a Star (1955) with Kirk Douglas, Robbers' Roost (1955) with George Montgomery, Battle Stations (1955) with John Lund, Star in the Dust (1956) with John Agar, and Away All Boats (1956) with Jeff Chandler.

He also guest-starred on General Electric Theater, Matinee Theatre (a production of Wuthering Heights where he played Heathcliff), Frontier, Lux Video Theatre, The Ford Television Theatre, Studio One in Hollywood, and Climax!.

Boone had one of his best roles in The Tall T (1957) with Randolph Scott. He co-starred with Eleanor Parker in Lizzie (1957) and was a villain in The Garment Jungle (1957).

Have Gun – Will Travel

Boone's next television series, Have Gun – Will Travel, made him a national star because of his role as Paladin, the intelligent and sophisticated, but tough gun-for-hire in the late 19th-century American West. The show had first been offered to actor Randolph Scott, who turned it down and gave the script to Boone while they were making  Ten Wanted Men. The show ran from 1957 to 1963, with Boone receiving more Emmy nominations in 1959 and 1960.

During the show's run, Boone starred in the film I Bury the Living (1958) and appeared on Broadway in 1959, starring as Abraham Lincoln in The Rivalry, which ran for 81 performances.

He occasionally did other acting appearances such as episodes of Playhouse 90 and The United States Steel Hour and TV movie The Right Man (1960). He had a cameo as Sam Houston in The Alamo (1960), a starring role in A Thunder of Drums (1961) and narrated a TV version of John Brown's Body.

Boone was an occasional guest panelist and also a mystery guest on What's My Line?, the Sunday-night CBS-TV quiz show. On that show, he talked with host John Charles Daly about their days working together on the TV show The Front Page.

The Richard Boone Show
Boone had his own television anthology, The Richard Boone Show. Although it aired only from 1963 to 1964, he received his fourth Emmy nomination for it in 1964 along with The Danny Kaye Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. The Richard Boone Show won a Golden Globe for Best Show in 1964.

Hawaii

After the end of the run of his weekly show, Boone and his family moved to Honolulu, Hawaii.

He returned to the mainland to appear in films such as Rio Conchos (1964), The War Lord (1965) with Charlton Heston, Hombre (1967) with Paul Newman, and an episode of Cimarron Strip. The latter was the first time he guest-starred on someone else's show and he did it as a favor for the director, friend Lamont Johnson. "It's harder and harder to do your best work on TV," he said.

In 1965, he came in third in the Laurel Award for Rio Conchos in Best Action Performance; Sean Connery won first place with Goldfinger and Burt Lancaster won second place with The Train.

While he was living on Oahu, Boone helped persuade Leonard Freeman to film Hawaii Five-O exclusively in Hawaii. Prior to that, Freeman had planned to do "establishing" location shots in Hawaii, but principal production in Southern California. Boone and others convinced Freeman that the islands could offer all necessary support for a major TV series and would provide an authenticity otherwise unobtainable.

Freeman, impressed by Boone's love of Hawaii, offered him the role of Steve McGarrett; Boone turned it down, however, and the role went to Jack Lord, who shared Boone's enthusiasm for the state, which Freeman considered vital. Coincidentally, Lord had appeared alongside Boone in the first episode of Have Gun – Will Travel, titled "Three Bells to Perdido".

At the time, Boone had shot a pilot for CBS called Kona Coast (1968), which he hoped CBS would adopt as a series ("I really don't want to do another series," he said "but I've been battling for three years to get production going in Hawaii and if a series will do it, I'll do it."), but the network went instead only with Hawaii Five-O. Kona Coast – which Boone co produced – was released theatrically.

Films
Boone then focused on films: The Night of the Following Day (1969) with Marlon Brando, The Arrangement (1969) with Douglas for Elia Kazan, The Kremlin Letter (1970) for John Huston,  and Big Jake (1971) with John Wayne.

Boone did some TV movies, In Broad Daylight (1971), Deadly Harvest (1972), and Goodnight, My Love (1972). Around this time he moved to Florida.

Hec Ramsey
In the early 1970s, Boone starred in the short-lived TV series Hec Ramsey, which Jack Webb produced for Mark VII Limited Productions, and which was about a turn-of-the-20th-century Western-style police detective who preferred to use his brain and criminal forensic skills instead of his gun. The character Ramsey's back story had him as a frontier lawman and gunman in his younger days.  Older now, he was the deputy chief of police of a small city in Oklahoma, still a skilled shooter, and carrying a short-barreled Colt Single Action Army revolver.  Boone said to an interviewer in 1972, "You know, Hec Ramsey is a lot like Paladin, only fatter." This quote was often misinterpreted to mean that Hec Ramsey was a sequel to Have Gun – Will Travel, when it actually was not.

Israel
Boone starred in the 1970 film Madron (1970), the first Israeli-produced film shot outside Israel, set in the American West of the 1800s. In that year, he  accepted an invitation from Israel's Commerce Ministry to provide the Israeli film industry with "Hollywood know-how." In 1979, he received an award from Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin "for his contribution to Israeli cinema."

Final performances
He starred in The Great Niagara (1974) and Against a Crooked Sky (1975) and supported John Wayne a third time, in Wayne's final film, The Shootist (1976). In the mid-1970s, Boone returned to The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, where he had once studied acting, to teach.

Boone did God's Gun (1976) with Leif Garrett, Lee Van Cleef, and Jack Palance. He appeared in The Last Dinosaur (1977) and The Big Sleep (1978), and provided the character voice of the dragon Smaug in the 1977 animated film version of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.

Boone's last appearances were in Winter Kills (1979) and The Bushido Blade (1979).

Personal life
Boone was married three times: to Jane Hopper (1937–1940), Mimi Kelly (1949–1950), and Claire McAloon (from 1951 until his death).  His son with McAloon, Peter Boone, worked as a child actor in several Have Gun – Will Travel episodes.

In 1963, Boone was injured in a car accident.

Boone moved to St. Augustine, Florida, from Hawaii in 1970 and worked with the annual local production of Cross and Sword, when he was not acting on television or in movies, until shortly before his death in 1981. In the last year of his life, Boone was appointed Florida's cultural ambassador.

During the 1970s, he wrote a newspaper column, called "It Seems to Me", for a small, free publication called The Town and Traveler. Some paper copies are in his biographical file at the St. Augustine Historical Society. He also gave acting lectures at Flagler College in 1972–1973.

Death
Boone died at his home in St. Augustine, Florida, due to complications from throat cancer. His ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean off Hawaii.

The YoUDee mascot team has won its third national championship in the last 10 years. Here, YoUDee rehearses the nationals skit during a special event at the Carpenter Sports Building.
ON THE GREEN | Two spirit teams—the YoUDee mascot team and the dance team—won national championships at the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) College Cheerleading and Dance National Championships in January.
The UD cheerleaders also had an outstanding competition, finishing second in an energetic battle against Morehead State University of Kentucky.
For YoUDee, a member of the Mascot Hall of Fame, it was the third national championship in the last 10 years. Numerous YoUDee alumni have gone on to work as professional mascots, some of whom returned to campus on Feb. 3 for a Blue Hens women's basketball game. They included Swoop of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, Slapshot of the NHL's Washington Capitals, Screech of Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals, Poe of the NFL's Baltimore Ravens and minor league baseball's Wool E. of the Durham Bulls and Rocky Bluewinkle of the Wilmington (Del.) Blue Rocks.
At the national competition, held at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., the UD dance team won the UCA Division I hip hop competition for the third straight year, and for the fourth year in the category's eight years of existence. The dance team also finished 10th out of 23 teams in the jazz category.
Cheerleading coach Ben Schreiber says the squad finished second in a hard-fought battle with perennial power Morehead State. "It was a very close competition," he says, "with both of the top two teams executing nearly flawless routines."

Joseph Schädeler (teilweise auch Joseph Schädler, * 11. November 1692 in Hannover; † 28. Juli 1763 in Hannover) war ein deutscher Architekt und Baubeamter im Kurfürstentum Hannover.

Leben und Wirken

Schädeler war einziger Sohn und jüngstes von drei Kindern des hannoverschen Zimmermeisters Ludwig Schädeler (ca. 1633–1717) und seiner Ehefrau Anna Elisabeth Dieckmann. 1718 heiratete er in erster Ehe Anna Wilhelmina Bolduck (1697–1747) und 1752 in zweiter Ehe Eleonora Francisca Gouverneur (1706–1758); er hatte neun Kinder aus erster Ehe, darunter den späteren Zimmermeister, Architekten und Landbaumeister Franz (François) Schädeler (1733–1796).

Er absolvierte zunächst eine Zimmererlehre wohl beim Vater und war ab 1721 Hofzimmermeister in Hannover, als der noch 1730 erwähnt wurde, obwohl er schon in den 1720er Jahren Aufgaben eines Architekten und Baubeamten übernahm. Seit 1721 war Schädeler zuständig für die Beaufsichtigung sämtlicher herrschaftlicher Gebäude im Amt Calenberg sowie für das Bauwesen der Groß- und Amtsvogtei Celle. 1731 erfolgte die Bestellung zum Klosterbaumeister durch die Klosterkammer Hannover (bis 1763) und 1738 die Ernennung zum Landbaumeister.

1734 erhielt Schädler zusätzlich das neu geschaffene Amt des Universitätsbaumeisters in Göttingen übertragen. Dort im Zusammenhang mit der 1734 gegründeten und 1737 eröffneten Georg-August-Universität geschaffene, repräsentative Bauten sind Hauptwerke Schädelers, so etwa der Umbau des ehemaligen Pauliner-Klosters sowie die Neubauten des Kollegiengebäudes und des Universitätsreitstalls. Zum Dank für seine Verdienste als Baumeister der ambitionierten, jungen Universitätsstadt wurde ihm 1735 das Göttinger Bürgerrecht geschenkt, "weil er der Stadt viele Dienste gethan, auch ein ansehnliches Hauß bauet," womit die repräsentative London Schänke (seit 1946 Michaelishaus) gemeint war, die er 1735–1737 auf eigene Kosten in Höhe von 7000 Talern als "ansehnliches Wohn- und Logierhaus für Standspersonen" mit Hotelbetrieb und Gastwirtschaft erbaute. Bis 1746 führte Schädler den Betrieb selbst, ehe er das Haus verpachtete.

Die Funktion als Göttinger Universitätsbaumeister übte Schädeler bis 1750 gleichzeitig mit Johann Friedrich Penther aus. Beider Nachfolger wurde Johann Michael Müller.

Ab 1738 bezog Schädler als Kloster- und Landbaumeister eine jährliche Besoldung in Höhe von 150 Reichstalern. In Göttingen war er außer der London Schänke auch Besitzer eines Wohnhauses am zentralen Marktplatz und mehrerer Gartengrundstücke.

IntroductionFrom conventioneers to honeymooners to families on vacation, people of all walks of life—millions of them—travel each year to Niagara Falls chasing the heady rush of a carnival-style thrill ride, the tranquility of a garden path or more recently, the suspense of a dice roll or spin of a roulette wheel. But ultimately, they all come for one thing—to experience the cool mist, the thundering roar, the utter violence of a half million gallons of water crashing into a rocky gorge every second. It's not just a spectacular scene; it's a spectacular scene in unrelenting motion.
Who would not be transfixed by the three separate cataracts that make up Niagara Falls? Rocky American, tiny Bridal Veil and show-stealing Horseshoe, over which the lion's share of the river flows, spawned a tourism industry here nearly 200 years ago. Today businesses entice visitors by offering views of this natural marvel from every possible angle: below, above, beside and even behind. And almost from the beginning attractions sprang up that were either only marginally related or completely unconnected to the falls' grandeur—from daredevil high-wire acts to amusement rides to museums flaunting the bizarre and macabre.
Rampant development and industrial exploitation threatened the falls early on, and in response to public outcry, New York bought land adjacent to the falls to create America's first state park, while Ontario acted similarly by establishing a park on its side. International accords now regulate how much water can be diverted from the falls to produce power, guaranteeing that Niagara Falls will continue to astound visitors for generations to come.
By CarMost approaches to Niagara Falls are east-west oriented. The main exception is the Niagara Parkway, a scenic route that follows the Canadian side of the Niagara River from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, traversing the heart of the city en route.
The primary through route is the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) via Hwy. 420. This modern highway originates in Toronto; skirts Lake Ontario; passes through Niagara Falls, interchanging with major streets; and terminates at the Peace Bridge, which spans the international boundary at Buffalo.
While much of the traffic coming into Niagara Falls from Canada uses at least a portion of the QEW, two other roads provide good access from Ontario's southwestern extremity: Hwy. 20 (Lundy's Lane), which goes directly into Niagara Falls, and Hwy. 3 to Fort Erie, from which several lesser roads lead into the city.
From the east, traffic arrives from New York and is funneled to the Canadian side via toll bridges: the Rainbow Bridge, in the heart of the sightseeing area; the Whirlpool Bridge, slightly north of downtown; the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge farther north, which completes an international expressway connection; and the Peace Bridge, linking Buffalo, N.Y., and Fort Erie, Ontario, south of Niagara Falls.
By PlaneFour commercial airports serve the Niagara Falls area. Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) at Genesee Street and Cayuga Road in New York is the closest to the city. ITA operates shuttle buses and cabs from this airport to Niagara Falls, N.Y., and to Niagara Falls, Ontario; phone (716) 633-8294 or (800) 551-9369 for rates and information. Shuttle service from the Buffalo airport to Niagara Falls, Ontario, is $65 per person; to Niagara Falls, New York, the rate is $50 per person.
The Niagara District Airport (YCM), also handling commercial flights, is at Niagara Stone Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake; phone (905) 684-7447. Within 45 miles of the city is John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) in Hamilton; phone (905) 679-1999. Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is approximately 2 hours from Niagara Falls. For scheduling information for terminals 1 and 3, phone (416) 247-7678. Niagara Airbus provides shuttle service to Niagara Falls from both John C. Munro and Toronto Pearson airports; phone (905) 374-8111 or (800) 268-8111.
Street SystemTraffic in Niagara Falls can be heavy during the tourist season. The main thoroughfares, the Niagara Parkway and Falls Avenue, parallel the Niagara River. Such main streets as Clifton Hill, Victoria Avenue and Lundy's Lane run perpendicular to the falls.
ParkingParking is a problem in the main tourist areas of Niagara Falls, especially during the summer. If your accommodations are near the falls, it is a good idea to walk or take a bus to observation points. There are parking lots across from Table Rock and Rainbow Bridge. Cars with trailers and motor homes should use the Rapids View Parking Lot; the parking fee includes the shuttle. From Rapids View a free shuttle transports visitors to Table Rock. The Niagara Parks Parking Pass, available at any pay station, costs $25 per day and covers unlimited parking for one vehicle at nine prime parking lots. An annual pass is available for $50; phone the Falls Parking Office (905) 356-0943 or Rapidsview Welcome Centre (905) 357-7808 for information.
Public TransportationPublic transportation in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is by Niagara Transit Commission bus service. Bus routes connect all areas of the city. Fare is $2.75; $2.50 (ages 65+ and students ages 13-19 with ID); $1.50 (ages 6-12). Exact change is required (pennies are no longer accepted). The rechargeable i-Ride Pass Card is available, either for 10 rides or for a 30-day period; it's available from the transportation services office at 8208 Heartland Forest Road and a number of convenience stores around town. The Niagara Transit terminal is at 4320 Bridge St.; phone (905) 356-1179.
The Niagara Parks Commission's WEGO bus system is an in-park public transportation service operating four routes: Green line along the Niagara Parkway between the Table Rock Welcome Centre and Queenston Heights Park and back; Blue line covering Fallsview, Victoria Centre, Clifton Hill and the Falls Avenue Resort; Red line to Lundy's Lane; and Orange line from Queenston Heights to Niagara-on-the-Lake (early May-late October). Table Rock is the hub for all but the Orange line. Buses are spaced about 20 minutes apart. Service runs daily (weather permitting). Hours vary; phone ahead. A 24-hour pass is $7.50; ages 6-12, $4.50; and a 48-hour pass is $11.50; ages 6-12, $8. Passes are not only valid for 24 or 48 hours from the time they are first used but also until 3 a.m. on the following day. The trip to Niagara-on-the-lake costs $7 each way. The loop from the Rapids View Station parking area to the falls is free. Parking at Rapids View is $10 per private vehicle. Phone (905) 357-9340.

Pizza was not something that I grew up with. It was my husband who introduced me to pizza when we met in college. While I grew up with Vietnamese food, Vu grew up with American food. I credit him for my love of pizza as well as Italian food. A few years ago, we began making pizza at home and started experimenting with seasonal ingredients to expand our arsenal of pizza recipes. It's been a very rewarding journey in pizza making.
Today, we're sharing one of our favorite vegetarian pizzas–wild ramps pesto pizza with asparagus, peas, and ricotta. Everything is homemade from the pizza dough, to ricotta cheese, and wild ramps and hazelnut pesto. All the flavors marry together and sing of spring.
1. Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. It will take about 15 minutes for the pizza stone to heat up.
2. Lightly dust a clean work surface with semolina or flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a rough 12×6 inch oval about ¼ inch thick.
3. Transfer the pizza base to a piece of parchment paper.
4. Prick the base with a fork, place the pizza on the lowest rack, and bake for 7 minutes. Leaving the pizza on the lowest rack helps crisp the base.
5. Remove pizza base from the oven. Spread the wild ramp pesto evenly over the base leaving a ¼ inch border.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the pesto. Top with asparagus and peas. Dot the top with ricotta cheese. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
7. Transfer the pizza onto the heated stone and bake for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.
8. When done, transfer the pizza onto a serving plate and top with cut chive blossoms.


At 10:16 today I received an understated email from 'noreply@fca.org.uk' entitled 'Notification of Authorisation'.
I very nearly dismissed it as junk mail, and actually deleted it before a trigger in my mind prompted me to recover and re-assess.
This was indeed our Financial Conduct Authority Licence, and having worked tirelessly since May 2014 in anticipation of the day we would boast a 'licence to carry on trading', the expected fanfare accompanying the delivery of this coveted licence was, in reality, no more than the trumbleweed associated with one of my better jokes.
We are aurthorsied and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority….sssshhh.

Redefining Not Rebuilding
Not a Job But a Vocation: M. Shawn Copeland After 29 Years With BC Theology professor M. Shawn Copeland retires after a career of bringing the change she once hoped to see.
ot every professor gets a two-day conference in celebration of her retirement. Then again, not every professor is M. Shawn Copeland.
A professor of systematic theology and African and African Diaspora studies at Boston College since 2003, her resume alone could fill a book. She has taught at six universities and received honorary degrees from six more. She was the first black woman to be president of Catholic Theological Society of America, served as the associate director of the Institute for Black Catholic Studies, and once convened the Black Catholic Theological Symposium. She has learned from and worked alongside some of the most influential theologians of the four decades.
Copeland's journey to BC was neither speedy nor direct. She first studied at Madonna College (now University), joining the Felician Sisters who conduct the school. After graduating with a B.A. in English in 1969, she stayed in her hometown of Detroit for two years, initially as a high school teacher.
Theologians, like the rest of the United States, were in a tumultuous state at the time. The late '60s had brought a myriad of issues to the forefront of society—most prominently the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements, but also the Vietnam War and second-wave feminism, which focused on the workplace, reproductive rights, and sexuality. Theology absorbed it all and inspired approaches to meet those needs.
Black theology particularly was growing and changing. Copeland picked up James Cone's Black Theology and Black Power, which helped define the distinctiveness of black faith at the time.
"There was a lot going on," Copeland said. "So you have all these ideas and you're thinking about all this, and time goes on and black theology becomes something that we all know about."
But, as black theology emerged and grew, the Catholic Church failed to engage, instead devoting attention to liberation theology. Despite the movement's concern for the poor and focus on liberation for oppressed peoples, there was no connection made to segregation and racism in the United States. The subsequent focus on Latin America created a "discontinuity," according to Copeland.
"In a lot of ways, that's understandable, Copeland said. "But in making that option, we left really a ton of people unintended to and unlistened to."
Copeland charges that this choice represented a failure to understand the social impact of how people see God in the world—an absence of political theology at a time when the country was in desperate need of one.
"[Political theology] is asking the big questions about the political meanings and the cultural meanings," Copeland said.
Instead of bracketing things into separate subfields, political theology, according to Copeland, looks at all of them together, creating a comprehensive whole out of the parts.
Such thinking significantly informed her work at the time. She began to protest the Archdiocese of Detroit's attempts to close schools in African-American communities, which caused some discomfort within her religious order. She then transferred to the Adrian Dominican Sisters in 1971, where she remained for the next 23 years.
"In a lot of ways, that's understandable. But in making that option, we left really a ton of people unintended to and unlistened to." M. Shawn Copeland
That same year, Copeland moved to Pittsburgh, becoming the Special Projects Director—and later Executive Director—for the National Black Sisters' Conference. Tasked with developing programs for the group, Copeland took the opportunity to read and think about theology more and more.
It was around this time that Bernard Lonergan, S.J.—a Canadian Jesuit and famed theologian-philosopher—piqued her academic interest. After first hearing about him at the 1975 Eucharistic Congress, she later found his book Method in Theology. In it, Lonergan outlines eight tasks for theology, all of which describe the concrete impact the field can have on the past and the future. Copeland found that his "functional specializations" spoke to her desire to apply theology to real lives.
In 1976, she began her work for Theology in the Americas (TIA), a coalition of Catholic and Protestant groups seeking to apply the teachings of liberation theology to the United States. A staff member on TIA's Black Theology Project, she worked with Baptist Minister Muhammad Kenyatta to organize the first-ever national consultation on black theology.
"We were meeting people around the country, holding meetings," she said. "And it became clear to me that while, yes, I knew some things, I didn't know my tradition in a theologically responsible way.
"What I wanted to know is, what does my tradition have to say about all these things?"
opeland resolved to continue her education, hoping to orient herself toward the real-world impact that theology could have by focusing on battling oppression and discrimination.
"When I got ready to go to school, I wanted to know Catholic theology," Copeland said. "I knew other theology. I knew liberation theology, I knew black theology, I knew feminist theology. What I didn't have at a graduate level was Catholic theology."
Lonergan had just begun to teach at BC as a distinguished visiting professor, drawing her eye up north and away from Catholic University.
Copeland, following her insatiable interest, finally reached BC in 1977.
"If I say [the University] was more modest, I would only be saying that it was growing up, beginning to make a turn to the kind of research university it has become," Copeland said. "There really was plenty of room here to appropriate your tradition in a serious way."
She recalled how incredibly accessible BC's faculty was when she first arrived. For her, the open-door policy of her professors helped create a close-knit community, which, in turn, pushed the conversation about theology forward.
"They had some disagreements about what was or was not important, or what could be an interpretation of some particular text or movement," Copeland said. "But one of the things that was very clear, is that even if there were opposite thinkers, they were all generous with one another and hospitable. And so they gave an example of theology as being able to have conflicting viewpoints, one in which people actually really talk to one another."
Soon enough, Copeland became an integral part of that community.
Fred Lawrence, Copeland's advisor, recalled during his tribute to her that she quickly became the "charter member of the Lawrence family rescue unit," constantly offering her Volkswagon Bug or picking up his children when his own car broke down—a testament to her generosity.
"I knew other theology. I knew liberation theology, I knew black theology, I knew feminist theology. What I didn't have at a graduate level was Catholic theology." M. Shawn Copeland
Her focus at BC—systematic theology—reflected her interest in understanding the foundation of the various threads of theology she saw out in the world.
"Systematic theology tries to think about the Christian faith in terms of its doctrines, but as they are all connected," Copeland said.
During her time in Boston, Copeland taught feminist theology at the Women's Theological Center in Back Bay. The organization provided feminist theology and interpretation for people in seminary who wanted to incorporate the subject into their education. She went on to teach at St. Norbert's College in Wisconsin for three years before moving to Yale Divinity School, lecturing on Theology and Black Studies. In her five years there, she moved from lecturer to assistant professor to associate professor—all while finishing her BC dissertation.
Lawrence fondly remembers reading that dissertation (A Genetic Study of the Idea of the Human Good in the Thought of Bernard Lonergan), which focused on the thinker whose writing had helped get her to BC. At the conference, Lawrence recalled the first page of the tome's 400 pages, on which Copeland declared "the deepest commitment of my heart and mind" to the forgotten men and women of history.
"This, then, is the first of many payments to honor my pledge to give a voice to those who live in their bruised bodies the struggle of life over sin and evil, of justice over injustice, of love over hatred and revenge, and freedom over suppression and death," Copeland wrote.
fter leaving Yale, Copeland returned to the midwest, having accepted a position in Marquette University's theology department, which was led by Patrick Carey. Copeland and Carey, joined by Sister Jamie Phelps, OP, and John McCarthy of Loyola University Chicago, decided to create a way to facilitate the recruitment of black Catholics into graduate programs, hoping to boost the community's size.
Although it didn't pan out at Marquette—in large part due to funding troubles—Copeland enjoyed her time there. But still looking to grow the black Catholic academic community, she turned to her summer work at the Institute for Black Catholic Studies, which was housed at the Xavier Institute of Louisiana.
The Institute aimed at preparing black Catholic lay people academically in theology and offered either a Master's program or a certification program. Beyond fostering a larger community, Copeland also hoped her work would send a message to the broader Catholic community about the resources needed for the endeavor.
"You know, in a larger frame, we need more resources to help people grow their faith and to begin to think about their faith in an increasingly reasoned way, because theology is reason to intellectual inquiry," Copeland said. "We're trying to develop a black Catholic theology. It doesn't exist without us, because nobody else is doing this."
The black Catholic community is small and too often overlooked, according to Copeland. Over time, individuals found each other incidentally and slowly grouped together. Before attempts at international organization got up and running, there was very little community at all, in fact. Unable to just dip into a pool of candidates, Copeland and her peers had to create one themselves.
She often tells the story of the black Catholics of Collerton County, South Carolina as emblematic of black Catholic faith and its relationship to the greater Church. When white plantation owners left enslaved Africans behind during the Civil War, these abandoned black Catholics remained alone for almost 40 years. Their church, which had been destroyed in a fire years before, was built again, sans priest. Left behind, the community continued to keep its faith alive, alone and unwelcomed by white Catholics.
Another paradigmatic example she gives: the end of the Federated Colored Catholics, or as it was originally known, the Committee against the Extension of Race Prejudice in the Church. Thomas Wyatt Turner, the group's founder, hoped to bring black Catholics together, lend support to black theologians, and increase the power of their voices in the Church. But several supporters—most prominently white Jesuit John LaFarge—wanted to integrate the group in both membership and leadership. Eventually, the Federated Colored Catholics gave way to the the National Catholic Federation for the Promotion of Better Race Relations.
"And so the Federated Colored Catholics kind of disappears," Copeland said. "I'm saying this because we had to learn all this on our own. And by we I mean the black Catholics who were organizing [in the late 20th century]."
In a 2003 interview with the National Catholic Reporter, Copeland commented on the history of black Catholics just as she became the first black woman to lead the Catholic Theological Society of America.
"You'd have to look at the number of black Catholic priests," she said. "You'd have to look at the number of black Catholic religious women. You'd have to ask about the presence of the church in inner city areas.
"Those kinds of gestures and those kinds of proactive actions—recruiting priests, recruiting women for religious life—would reflect whether or not black Catholics were integrated into the U.S. Catholic Church. I would have to say that historically in a certain way, that we are not as a people."
fter several years split between Marquette and the Institute, Copeland decided it was time to take on another job. In 2001, she was invited to come back to BC as the Joseph Visiting Chair of Catholic Theology by Robert Daly, S.J., who had been the department's chair during her time as a student, and Michael Buckley, S.J.
Almost immediately, then-department chair Steve Pope became to recruit her for a full-time position, asking Copeland if she thought she could do her best work back home on the Heights. She did, with the proximity to a city full of students—especially black Catholic students—also intriguing her.
Although the process has taken some time, Copeland has seen progress in BC's theology department. She pointed to black professors Andrew Prevot, who is Catholic, and Amey Victoria Adkins-Jones, who, like Copeland, teaches both theology and African Diaspora studies.
"We're trying to develop a black Catholic theology. It doesn't exist without us, because nobody else is doing this." M. Shawn Copeland
Prevot, who came a full decade after Copeland was hired at BC as a tenured professor, is the only other black Catholic to join her—and with her retirement, he will be alone in the tradition.
"Working with her has been one of the greatest blessings in my time here at BC, and I will truly grieve her absence," Prevot said. "As a relatively young black Catholic theologian, I look up to her and owe her a debt of gratitude for all that she has done to pave the way for my own work. I count her not only as a mentor and colleague, but also as a friend."
Copeland said that the choke point occurs at all levels: There are few Catholic schools in black communities, and even then young black men are encouraged to enter into other professions.
"Which is really important—no argument there. But I'm not sure we're planting any seeds for theology or philosophy," Copeland said.
Religious communities are also aging, Copeland said, so there's fewer young, graduate school-focused people in the picture. At BC, she found herself on the other side of the pipeline: demand, not supply. Despite the difficulties, Copeland looks at her time as BC as a personal success. In her time as a grad student, there were very few women and even fewer AHANA theology faculty.
"I hope that BC will invest significant resources into recruiting and retaining faculty who will continue her legacy of thinking theologically from the perspective of poor, despised women of color," Prevot said. "This would be the best way to honor her and all those suffering communities whom she has served throughout her career."
n the academic front, she feels equally fulfilled and takes pride in having fostered the same openness she benefited from all those years ago.
"You want to do some good in the world, you know?" Copeland said. You want to leave wherever you are better than when you found it. And you'd like to contribute to that betterment—not that you're solely responsible or that you can personally bring it about. It takes the work of many people, not just one person.
"I love it here. I know BC wants to be great. I want it to be good."

"Insieme con Gramsci". Note sulla politica culturale di Togliatti (1947-1964)
Titolo Rivista: HISTORIA MAGISTRA

The Author examines how the Italian Communist Party made use of the political and literary legacy of Antonio Gramsci after the war, in particular through the interpretations of its Secretary, Palmiro Togliatti, who was the leader of the Party until his death, in August 1964. Thus we can map the political strategy of the Italian Communist Party in those years; a strategy which always had as one of its priorities the engagement of intellectuals and therefore a special emphasis on cultural policy. Through the publication of Gramsci's works (Letters from Prison, 1947, The Prison Notebooks, 1958-1951) and through the inspiration derived from his teachings, Togliatti was able to give to the Italian Communist Party a democratic national footprint, despite its ties with the Soviet Union. Even after the "great exodus" of militants and Party sympathizers in 1956, Togliatti identified his "old comrade", as the example to follow in order to emphasize the unique identity of the Italian Communist Party, which - it should be remembered - was the largest party in the western world.

--- Butcher Babies ---
Hailing from the City Of Angels, BUTCHER BABIES offer redemption from the overplayed underground, exorcising demons with a visceral sound matched only in scope by their explosive stage show. Frontwomen Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey, guitarist Henry Flury, bassist Jason Klein and drummer Chase Brickenden juxtapose brutal, aggressive riffs with beautiful melodies that wail with anguish and hope for redemption.
The band signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records in December 2012, and a month later hit the road with Marilyn Manson on what proved to be one of the new year's most talked about tours. Less than a year later, July 2013, they released their debut album GOLIATH, produced by Josh Wilbur (Gojira, Lamb of God, Hatebreed). Since then, Butcher Babies have toured relentlessly among the likes of Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Danzig, In This Moment, Cradle of Filth, Black Label Society, etc; played music fests including Mayhem, Knotfest, Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and Welcome to Rockville, etc. and appeared in the film Alleluia! : The Devils Carnival.

This is Wicked's first Asa Akira showcase and it's a really good one. Jonathan Morgan gets to put the lovely Asa through her paces. The collection is based on things her fans want to see and the results are even better than you might hope for. Most of you already know that Asa is a huge star, a world-class hottie and one of my all-time favorite performers.
Director B Skow is on quite a roll. He has been very successful since his move to Girlfriends with his edgy feature work while still shooting some of the hottest new girl scenes on the market. For this movie he is going with more of theme than a full feature. The cast all play American college girls sent overseas to look after children in Europe. What they really do though is take care of the dads.

Zero Trust Security Schemas Might Not Be Enough Against Hackers
They're all the rage, but is there a more secure method?
By Jamie Bsales
We've talked previously about Zero Trust network architectures and how they can keep endpoints and the network secure. The paradigm in a nutshell: Assume that no interaction is from a trusted source and, therefore, needs to be authenticated, encrypted, or otherwise secured. Cloud solutions certainly figure into the schema, since more require frequent "handshakes" so that users prove they are who they say they are.
And Zero Trust is certainly garnering a lot of attention. In fact, the Biden-Harris Administration has just released a new cybersecurity approach for federal agencies, relying on cloud computing to fend off hackers, hoping to modernize the government's cyber defenses. According to the Wall Street Journal, this system will require repeated verification of identities to access data—a stark contrast to traditional security frameworks where most interactions that take place behind the corporate firewall are assumed to be legit.
Zero Trust can keep network assets and data secure,
but a Digital Bunker takes security to the next level.
Yet some would argue that Zero Trust does not go far enough. "Zero Trust as described is unattainable and will hinder productivity," says cybersecurity expert Michael Abboud, CEO of TetherView. "Traditional Zero Trust solutions allow data to sit locally everywhere, making it impossible to have visibility of control. The proper implementation of this is to force users to a known and secure workplace and quadruple check the user's identity before they enter."
His company's approach to network security: a secure digital workspace, or a Digital Bunker in TetherView's parlance. In this scenario, users are provided with a single digital workspace that permits business data and email to be accessed from a single point of entry that only gives access after many factors of authentication are verified. While inside the Digital Bunker, user activity is highly monitored, logged, and controlled. For organizations that have even higher levels of sensitivity, a whitelist approach is deployed: Users only access applications, data, or websites that have been screened and approved by the organization's IT management and security teams.
If this sounds draconian, consider that more than 80% of cyberattacks are the result of inadvertent user behavior (such as clicking on a malicious link) and not direct hacking activity. Given that cybersecurity is cited time and again as the top concern of IT decision makers in Keypoint Intelligence's surveys, there is certainly a need for this level of network and data security.
As for TetherView's approach in particular, its Digital Bunker offering combines compliance, 24/7 security, backup, mobility, and single sign-on password management into one platform. Users are never tied to a specific device, location, or Internet connection. Instead, the Digital Bunker delivers a consistent virtual desktop from any connection or device to use from anywhere—all while restricting access to corporate data outside of the controlled workspace.
What Does This Mean for Print?
When it comes to the print environment, Zero Trust entails employing secure pull print solutions so a user must authenticate at the printer to receive a print job. Many mobile-print solutions, as well as Microsoft Universal Print, achieve the same ends since users must enter some sort of credentials before a print job will be released.
The Digital Bunker protects printing security in several ways. First, it provides whitelisting access to business data only from known and protected devices. Second, from such a whitelisted device, printing is restricted to known printers and printing can (in turn) be restricted to only specified classifications of data. The system also provides logging of print jobs and active monitoring printing activity, along with customizable reporting and alerting on printing activities.
Abboud notes that TetherView's digital workspace is equipped to work with federal agencies and other organizations where security and access control are paramount. Granted, the digital vault is likely overkill for many businesses. But given its combination of cloud-accessible virtualized desktop convenience and multi-layered security, it is certainly worth considering for the more security-minded among us.
