Hanging by a thread, Sheffield of the East
in COVID Response Watch — by Sandeep Banerjee — 27/08/2022
Sometimes it was a rise in pig iron prices due to disruption of supply chains due to the Covid pandemic. Now you can find the Ukraine War as a reason for the increase in the price of coke used in the steel industry. Not so long ago it was GST and demonetisation.
Whatever be the real reason life is surely getting harder, explained an old worker in Howrah district, on the outskirts of Kolkata, that was once considered the 'Sheffield of the East'.
"Even after things were 'normal' and Covid was over, my salary dropped almost 30% in the last three months" says Sahoo, an experienced factory hand in the foundry industry. "Not just mine, ask that food stall owner on the opposite side, his income also fell, workers had to reduce food expenses too." Sahoo's factory is not operational regularly and he and his friends could find piecemeal work only in multiple sites.
Arup and many of his friends have been coming to work at such steel foundries for almost a decade. But Covid made a lasting impact. Never could they think that trains would not run for 250+ days at a stretch. They come from a village every morning, 9 km cycling, 36 km by train and then 1 km walk. The exercise is repeated in the reverse direction in the evening. During the lockdown it was – no train, no job, no income.
After a couple of years things are now 'normal'. And yet, his income plummeted from ₹8000 a month to ₹4500 a month. Luckily one friend helped out and he managed to shift to a loading-unloading and stacking job at an Amazon warehouse, though that is a bit farther away. They come from villages and most of their families have some residual agricultural income that helped them survive. Plus, the 8 kg wheat and 12 kg rice their family of four gets from the government every week and some little governmental relief that their mothers get also helps.
Arup's family has also got a gourd plant adjacent to their home, which gives them some vegetables, and they had two ducks from which some eggs were available. Fish or meat consumption had to come down from once a week, two and half years ago, to once a month now. Oil and pulses are now bought far less. Shifting to LPG for cooking and LPG price rise made things worse for the family.
'Wood sales have increased, these are scraps from saw mills, now being used mostly for cooking purpose', said Mehbub. This is a town about 30 km south from the steel works. It was once a booming town: jute mill, cotton mill, cable factory (last two are closed for decades): Bauria. The jute mill did not suffer that much during the lockdown and most millhands are locals or from neighbouring places, so they could continue.
'But only a few of the workers are fortunate enough to be a 'permanent worker' or even one with their names in the rolls. The most senior persons of such a category may get about ₹12000 a month. Contractual workers of different categories may get between ₹220-280 a day and they are taken in for a fortnight", says Alamgir, who himself has his name in the company books now.
'But the work pressure is so high! These 'Chinese' machines! When I started working 22 years ago, I had to look after 2 looms and now I must work with 6, and their speed is much higher. Everyday all quantity produced is checked, if they find my production amount is not up to the mark they will give a warning' he says.
According to another worker, Inayet, 'Many are afraid to take a day off casually due to sickness or tiredness or any reason whatsoever, lest he may be laid off for another 3-4 days. Many newcomers, contractual workers, cannot work continuously and often take a break after a fortnight due to the severe workload.'
Wages have not increased, though it is being heard that daily allowance would rise soon. Meanwhile, things a worker has to buy have become twice as expensive in the last two and half years. So, consumption had to be curtailed. 3 grocery shops in his neighbourhood were shut down in the last 2 years. Owners of two of these shops are now working in factories in Dhulagor. Mehbub's own shop is also shut down.
Local small and medium scale industrial units were the last resort for many workers but these units cannot employ the growing number of unemployed. Generally, a 12-hour shift of gruelling work is the norm there and work there can give at maximum ₹180-300 a day. There are warehouses, packaging centres and some other units where hundreds of girls also work. Many workers commute by bicycles, some have arranged e-rickshaws or autos which are abundant and have a very low volume of business these days. A company agent working barefoot, canvassing shops to keep his products for customers, working all through the day, is happy if his day's earnings cross ₹200.
But what is more worrying for Mehbub is the fading away of the zari works that gave employment to thousands and thousands in this district. It was perhaps the first district of Bengal where less than half of the working population were connected with agriculture or related activities as early as in 1970. Zari work could fetch a woman who worked all the day, almost ₹300 a day, though, indeed, it was very strenuous, Mehbub said. And not only women, many men were also employed by this cottage industry, which was once thriving.
"But nowadays, the earning is ₹150-160 at most, given the same amount of labour and when work is available at all; so much has been the fall in the piece-rate!"
Zari, it is said, came to Bengal when the Nawab of Awadh was exiled by the British to the Garden Reach area on the opposite (Kolkata) side of the Ganges. Zari works were initially done with golden and silver threads. Delicate artistic patterns are stitched using special kind of needles on clothes. Some areas in Howrah district are famous for this work. Besides this, readymade garment making was also a flourishing business on both sides of the Ganges. There were special markets and market days for such products. But the zari business had a pyramidal structure in which the top layer was occupied by a few big businessmen from Kolkata. There were intermediaries, called 'ostagor' who were master-craftsmen turned into organisers of production, and they gave distributed jobs to the zari workers.
Though the festive months are approaching, this year also the market has not responded, after two of the dullest years ever during Covid. Arati (name changed) was a zari worker herself when she was a teenager. After marriage she continued work in her in-law's home and supported the family with her income. In other words, she was like many 'housewives' in artisan families who have to perform all the household chores and also work from morning till night to earn. Slowly she became a master craftsperson and then she provided work to dozens of women in her village. But came Covid and everything stopped. Her husband works on a lathe, which continued operating even though haltingly during these last two years. Arati is unemployed for more than two years for the first time in her life.
Accidently, the day this reporter met her at the work centre of Mujibar bhai she also met an 'ostagor' who offered her a connection from where she can get some zari works to be done on sarees. Women are going there by bicycles, taking orders and sarees and returning the sarees worked upon every day. Arati was glad getting the connection, perhaps her life would get a fresh start again
Sara Bharat Jori Silpi Kalyan Samiti run by tireless work of Mujibar Rahman Mallick and his co-workers can provide a lot of information regarding this industry and its present crisis. And they sincerely believe that if the government takes the initiative, then this industry can revive again to its past glory. Mujibar Rahaman has written pamphlets on the problems and prospects of this industry.
He has also worked untiringly for the migrant workers during Covid and published his experience as a booklet. From this booklet we came to know about the horrible condition of the returning migrant workers, how badly they were treated in the so-called quarantine centres and the present condition of unemployment among them.
Covid not only squeezed to halt this slowly-decaying industry but also, after the 'normalcy' not even 50% of the pre-Covid level of work and earning could be reached. This shattered many families. Even children suffered. According to Mujibar and his co-workers' estimation at least 25% of school students of zari workers' families have dropped out of schools due to the impact of Covid.
The fate of thousands and thousands of workers is now hanging by a thread, and the fate of a once-famous industry too, which provided employment to lakhs for many decades.

Some living on the old streets of Nyborg are not happy about the new arrivals (photo: Erik Cleves Kristensen)
December 9th, 2015 8:38 am| by Ray W
Between 60 and 70 asylum-seekers will arrive at a new asylum centre in the town of Nyborg on Funen today. The centre has been set up at Strandvænget, which had previously been a facility for the disabled.
However, not everyone in Nyborg appears ready to welcome the total of 500 asylum-seekers scheduled to move into the building.
Overnight, someone hung signs throughout the building saying, in Danish, things like: "Asylum centre, no thanks", "Not welcome" and "We said no."
Not everybody
Centre co-ordinator Marianne Stentebjerg does not believe the negative message reflects the opinion of the entire town of Nyborg.
"This is one small voice," she told DR Fyn. "The great majority of people in Nyborg welcome the asylum-seekers, and we get many requests every day from people who want to help."
Nyborg's mayor, Kenneth Muhs, said the signs are an indication there are different views on the issue of asylum in his town.
"We are going to have to accept there are different points of view," he said.

GDPR is in place; CCPA is coming. Are you ready?
June 24, 2019 by Editorial Team Leave a Comment
The one-year anniversary of the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has recently passed. Regardless of where you live, during the past year, you've probably received your fair share of emails from companies telling you how they're going to comply with the new regulation and, most likely, asking for your permission to continue using the information they've collected about you over the years.
If you're a vendor who's been collecting information about your customers over the years, the immediate challenge may be more than a mere nuisance. The last thing you need is regulators demanding to know if and how you're in compliance with the rules; they're already doing precisely that in Europe.
It doesn't matter where you're based; companies around the world have to comply with GDPR's rules because virtually every firm of any size has customers or employees in EU countries. Even American and Asian firms are trying to ensure they're complying with the European requirements, in addition to established privacy rules such as HIPAA and Sarbanes Oxley. This is true, regardless of vertical or industry. Companies in the financial services, utilities, retail, transportation, insurance, health care and manufacturing industries are all affected.
Many U.S. based firms have decided to comply with GDPR, even for their American customers; it's easier to implement one set of privacy rules worldwide, rather than set up geographically based rules. It frees them from any worry about customers who may slip through the cracks, leaving them open to potential violations.
Of course, American firms also have the coming implementation of California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) staring them in the face. Many other states have similar rules either on the books or being discussed in their legislatures, with more than 50 countries around the world enacting their own data privacy laws.
Firms should view GDPR and CCPA as an opportunity that can pay dividends by involving leaders throughout their organization, from the chief data officer (CDO) to the data governance team. For instance:
They regard GDPR as a strategic enabler, instead of merely foisting it off on their IT staff as another problem to solve.
As part of their GDPR compliance, they focus on the customers that mean the most to their business. They engage with them, ask for permission to keep their data and keep the conversation going with them.
Once that's done, these firms have actively moved to be more understanding of their customers. Maintaining an open and positive relationship gives them fewer reasons to click the "delete" button.
There is, of course, a significant technology component. The data that firms collect resides worldwide, in multiple locations. CDOs must ensure the data they're charged with safeguarding has been accounted for in all its forms, regardless of where it is stored. The data under your organization's stewardship will continue to grow, along with your business. If you expand into new locations, you'll be responsible for expanding your monitoring efforts for the data these sites generate.
This gives rise to another potential challenge: ensuring that you have a firm handle on where multiple copies of the same data are located throughout your firm. You may delete a customer's personal information from your servers in San Francisco, but if a copy exists on another server in New York, you're violating CCPA rules and may be open to penalty. Discovering where all of your data resides is key to your future compliance and success.
So, how can companies ensure they are doing their best to meet these regulations?
Regardless of where you're located, appoint a chief data officer with the authority to do a deep dive into your company's data. The CDO should be able to determine where the data exists, in what forms and what policies and procedures are being implemented to comply with all of the regulations.
Continually monitor the regulations. Britain has implemented an upgraded Data Protection Act — its version of GDPR. In several respects, it's even more all-encompassing than GDPR. And that's the point: Expect that the authorities will strengthen the rules over time as they deem necessary. Compliance today does not automatically mean compliance tomorrow.
Implement new technologies to help you get a handle on your data. You want to be able to track down where the data resides and help ensure the rules that govern its use are accurate and are being consistently deployed.
The CCPA clock is ticking, and we're already well past midnight on GDPR. Compliance with these laws isn't going to get any easier, which means you need to be moving toward compliance, if you're not already there. But if you look at it as an opportunity the journey will be well worth it.

Canonical plans to release Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn by today, October 23rd. But attention is already turning to Ubuntu 15.04. Today it got its name: "Vivid Vervet".
Founder Mark Shuttleworth has announced that Ubuntu 15.04 will be code-named Vivid Vervet. Its scheduled to arrive at the end of April, 2015.
This is a time when every electronic thing can be an Internet thing, and thats a chance for us to bring our platform, with its security and its long term support, to a vast and important field. In a world where almost any device can be smart, and also subverted, our shared efforts to make trusted and trustworthy systems might find fertile ground.
Talking of plans for the release Shuttleworth states one goal is to show the way past a simple Internet of things, to a world of Internet things-you-can-trust.
Canonical releases new builds of Ubuntu every 6 months, which makes new versions of the operating system a bit less exciting than new builds of OS X or Windows. But 2014 and 2015 could be big years for the operating system. While Ubuntu is already relatively popular in the server and desktop operating system spaces, the first smartphones running Ubuntu software are expected to ship soon.

Due to be retrofitted in seven Stolt-Nielsen ships, the ASEA systems are expected to result in a yearly saving for each vessel of approximately $150,000. The systems are equipped with static converters and provide output power of 1,200 kva at 460 v, 60 hz. The generators will be coupled directly to the main engine and are designed to operate between 70-100 percent of main engine speed.
Included in the package is generator automation for load-sharing and prevention of blackouts, as well as for insuring smooth and rapid changeovers from shaft generator power to auxiliary diesel power, or vice versa. The first system is scheduled for delivery in July 1983.


September is almost over and we think the Beading Divas may have had a record month of fund-raising for Arizona Greyhound Rescue but we won't divulge the amount until October.
In October we start with another local animal charity — stay tuned.

Maybe you've seen the rather odd, tall, skinny structures, usually in wide open spaces where high winds move the propeller-like sections. When a group of these wind turbines work to move air- which then turns into energy- they are identified as wind farms. In some locations, such as the Gansu Wind Farm in China or the Alta Wind Energy Center in California, the wind farms produce electrical power for several hundred people within several hundred square miles.
Rising energy prices and more attention toward savings our natural resources work together more frequently these days, to advance natural power options. For example, Google Inc. recently donated $38.8 million for the construction of two North Dakota wind farms. Because these wind farms were successfully developed, 55,000 homes in those areas now have natural power.
•Once you make sure the attic at your house is air tight, you can easily install one of our very affordable solar attic fans. For this one-time cost, the fan helps ventilate the hot air trapped in the attic during the heat of the summer, which keeps the rest of the house cool.
•The AirFlow Breeze register vent booster is another great energy saver and it works both summer and winter to better maintain a comfortable temperature in the rooms of your home. The Airflow Breeze improves air circulation which eliminates those hot and cold spots that inevitably are where your favorite chair or desk is best situated.

Het Museu da Imagem e do Som de Alagoas (Misa), vertaald: Museum van Beeld en Geluid van Alagoas, is een museum in Maceió in Brazilië. Het museum werd op 3 september 1981 geopend met het doel om het audiovisuele erfgoed van de staat Alagoas te bewaren en te tonen. Het museum wordt beheerd door het het staatssecretariaat voor Cultuur.

In het museum wordt onder meer met behulp van opnames op cassettebanden, video's en oude platen stilgestaan bij evenementen die in Maceió hebben plaatsgevonden. Er zijn opnames bewaard gebleven van belangrijke politieke, maatschappelijke en artistieke evenementen in Alagoas. Een deel van de collectie komt voort uit donaties van oude voorwerpen, waaronder een verzameling van oude radio's en analoge camera's.

Naast de vaste collectie worden er exposities getoond van diverse artiesten, waaronder tijdens het 35e jubileumjaar 2016 over de muziekcultuur van Alagoas: de Misa Acústico (akoestische Misa). Ter gelegenheid hiervan werden door acht artiesten concerten opgevoerd.

In 2001 werd de locatie in de Praça Dois Leões gerenoveerd, nadat het in 1997 al eens tijdelijk gesloten was geweest vanwege de slechte staat door verwering.

Beyonce's dad, Mathew Knowles, doesn't need Maury Povich to tell him he's a daddy again … a DNA lab in TX just did it for him.
TMZ obtained a copy of a paternity test — ordered by a judge in Houston after Knowles was sued by a lingerie-model-turned-real-estate agent … who claims he knocked her up in 2010.
According to the DNA test … there's a 99.998% certainty that Knowles is the biological father of TaQoya Branscomb's child.
Branscomb will now go after Knowles for child support … but that could be tricky. He's already paying another baby mama … but the judge slashed his support obligations because he's now broke as a joke after getting the boot from Bey.

PHT Morning Skate: McDavid, Hall win their first Cup together

PHT's Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what's happening and what we'll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

Polak (hernia) done for year as Leafs lose another veteran d-man
By Mike HalfordMar 9, 2015, 2:54 PM EDT
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost another experienced member of the blueline on Monday, as the club announced Roman Polak will undergo season-ending hernia surgery.
Polak, 28, was in his first year in Toronto following last summer's trade from St. Louis and appeared in 56 games for the Leafs, scoring five goals and nine points while averaging 21:05 TOI per night.
As mentioned above, Polak is just the latest Leafs d-man to be lost for the year. Over the weekend, Toronto announced that 38-year-old Stephane Robidas was set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Both are under contract for next season; Robidas' deal extends through 2017.
With Polak gone, the Leafs recalled Petter Granberg from the AHL Marlies. Granberg joins Dion Phaneuf, Eric Brewer, Tim Erixon, Jake Gardiner and Morgan Rielly on Toronto's active roster.

Leafs' Robidas (shoulder) done for the season
By Dhiren MahibanMar 8, 2015, 1:00 PM EDT
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Stephane Robidas will undergo surgery on his shoulder and is done for the season.
He is expected to be ready for the start of camp.
Robidas has been battling shoulder issues since at least December when he was hit by Philadelphia Flyers' forward Wayne Simmonds.
The 38-year-old, who signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Leafs last summer, had a goal and six assists while averaging 17:04 in ice time in 52 games this season.
Robidas was limited to just 38 games last season after breaking his leg twice.

'It's not my cup of tea, this rental world,' says Ducks GM
By Mike HalfordFeb 25, 2015, 11:40 AM EST
Bob Murray sounds like a guy that was pleased to see Blockbuster go under.
Following Tuesday's "hockey deal" — the Ducks sent Devante Smith-Pelly to Montreal in exchange for Jiri Sekac — the Anaheim GM voiced his displeasure with the current state of the trade market.
"There's a lot of talking going on, but it's all about rentals, for Pete's sake," Murray said, per the Los Angeles Times. "It's gone from a third-round pick for a rental, someone you might have for three months; now it's a second- or first-rounder and a prospect."
While Murray's candor is enjoyable (more so if you envision him shaking his fist at the trade deadline), there's definitely some posturing at play. For starters, the rental market hasn't proven to be that expensive yet — on Tuesday, Minnesota acquired a pretty useful forward in Sean Bergenheim from Florida for a third-round pick — and, less than two weeks ago, Winnipeg and Buffalo combined to orchestrate one of the biggest blockbusters in recent memory where most of the principles (Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian, Tyler Myers) were building blocks, not rentals.
(You can also circle back to the Smith-Pelly-for-Sekac trade that Murray completed, which was a true "hockey deal.")
Of course, we've seen comments like these from Murray and GMs before, and they do occasionally prove to be somewhat effective. By bemoaning not just the quality of rental players, but also the asking price, the GM gives himself an out in the event he can't make anything significant happen at the deadline (which is usually followed by something along the lines of "we weren't going to mortgage the future.")
It's also worth remembering that Murray has history of posturing. After failing to land a big ticket at last year's deadline (while picking up a cheap rental in Stephane Robidas, it should be mentioned), he expressed confusion and dismay about not getting a deal done despite having a pair of high draft picks in play — the old "I was ready to make a deal, they weren't" narrative.
Anyway, back to the present. In light of this rentals-only market, Murray could end up having to wait 'til the offseason to make a big move, much like last year with the Ryan Kesler acquisition at the draft. The Ducks are clamoring for defensive help but it sure doesn't look like there's a ton available heading into Monday's deadline — and, posturing or not, Murray sure doesn't sound enamored with the idea of paying big for a rental.
"I'm not doing that here," he explained. "It's not my cup of tea, this rental world."

Ducks 'pretty adamant about trying to add another d-man,' says Ducks d-man
By Mike HalfordFeb 12, 2015, 12:06 PM EST
We've talked plenty about Anaheim's desire to add a defenseman — see here and here and here — and now, following a stretch in which the Ducks have surrendered 30 goals in seven games, it seems those talks have trickled down to the players.
Like defenseman Cam Fowler, for example.
"[GM Bob Murray] has been pretty adamant about trying to add another d-man," Fowler told the L.A. (which stands for Los Angeles) Times this week. "We feel comfortable with the group we have, but if there's somebody who can be brought in to help us, that's always good too."
Murray's been in search of defensive fixes for a while now, and has done some previous patchwork: Eric Brewer was acquired from Tampa Bay in November, and Stephane Robidas was acquired at last year's deadline.
That said, both of those deals were of the low-risk, low-cost variety. Robidas, 37, came on board for the price of a fourth-round pick and played just 17 games (14 regular season, three playoff) before leaving in free agency. Brewer, 35, could end up much the same; he's a UFA at season's end and has only appeared in six games after breaking his foot shortly after being acquired.
But neither Robidas nor Brewer moved the needle much. One would think Murray wants to make a bigger splash this time around.
Whether or not he can make one, though, remains to be seen. Tyler Myers is off the board following Wednesday's blockbuster move to Winnipeg and, as we've often seen come deadline day, there are more teams interested in capable defensemen than there are capable defensemen.
The Ducks could be in on Marc Methot. They could be in on Cody Franson. They could be in on Mike Green — assuming the playoff-bound Caps decide to move him — but Anaheim won't be alone in any of these pursuits. Which begs two questions: 1) How much does Murray believe in a blueline featuring a top-four of Fowler, Francois Beauchemin, Hampus Lindholm and Sami Vatanen? And 2) If he doesn't believe in it enough, how much is he willing to spend on a legitimate upgrade?

Woosley Fires in California pollutants are affecting the soil, water, and vegetation.
Recently, the Woolsey Fire in southern California has burned almost 100,000 acres. Three people lost their lives, structures were burned, families' sources of incomes destroyed. The aftermath of this catastrophe led to large releases of radiation, and toxins left in the air, adding stress to the health of not only the elderly, children, but also enhancing asthmatic problems. The fires that also occurred within Butte County has added to contamination within the soil of growing vegetation.
The fire that began "near" the Santa Susana Field Laboratory Site (SSFL) turned out to have begun because of the site itself. The radioactive contamination that was left behind has made SSFL "one of the most contaminated sites in the world" (Daniel Hirsch, 2018). Our government is denying the true capacity of the harm that these pollutants can cause to our well-being, and saying that leaves our communities at risk. The water from the soil site is trickling down towards other communities where the drinking water is also at stake of being undrinkable.
I truly believe that we should take initiative and petition the government to take action to help save our citizens from the infliction that this epidemic has on our salubrity.


1. The Fed's statement that it will buy USD40 billion worth mortgage backed securities is a signal that the economy has not stabilized yet. While the market was hoping for a stimulus, when it came it confirmed the fear that things were not well. So we got what we wanted, but that wasn't really what we wanted. What we really wanted was a signal that the economy was beginning to thrive. We did not get that signal. When the economy thrives, people do things, they travel etc., companies gear up production, and all of this translates into a demand for oil and other commodities.
2. Because a lower demand is expected and for other financial reasons not relevant for this discussion, the number of oil rigs operating in North America is 50% lower than last year. This means that the supply of crude in the future will be lower. If you think prices are already too high, keep your eyes peeled you will soon see the price at the pump go over$1.50 a litre.
3. Another complication is the political situation in the Middle East. The question about the strike on Iran is "when?" As Iran is a key player on the supply side of crude, this does not arguer well for prices at the pump.
What should we do as consumers? Watch our belts – stop using those credit cards – you should absolutely leave home with out them.
What should we do as investors? Well, isn't that an interesting question. If you are 15 to 20 years away from retirement, you don't need to pay any attention to the news – just keep socking the monthly 10%.
If you are five years or less away from retirement, then I would say build a core portfolio of blue chips and take specific satellite positions in banking, new technologies, real estate and health care. These specific positions should be the part of your portfolio that does not need to come into play for the next ten years.
If you are a retiree who is consuming investments, you've got trouble. Bonds are no longer a safe place for you to be, and if you are going to buy bonds, for heaven's sake don't get into a bond mutual fund. Buy a high coupon and hold it to maturity with the intention of consuming the coupon payments. Be careful about investing in stocks – dividends are still good for health, and growth sectors are still good for your ten year money. However, I strongly advise you to keep the next 2 years of income in cash or GIC. This will insulate you towards the events of the market.
Be wary of stocks in the energy sector – with everything that's going on in the world, if we get hit with another warm winter, investments in the Canadian side of the sector will not do well.

In "Reunion, Part 1," Jock and Miss Ellie's middle son, Gary (David Ackroyd), a recovering alcoholic, returned to Southfork after a long absence. Meanwhile, Lucy discovered her mother, Valene (Joan Van Ark), working at a diner outside of town. This was the first appearance of Gary and Val, who were first married in 1961, then reunited and remarried in 1979 (with Gary played by Ted Shackelford). Miss Ellie gave them a house in Knots Landing as a wedding gift.
1980: On The Edge of Night, Miles Cavanaugh (Joel Carruthers) was stunned when Nicole (Jayne Bentzen) revealed she knew about having aplastic anemia. "Which category do I fall under? Am I one of those that recovers without any difficulty? Or am I one of those that dies?"
1981: On General Hospital, Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) told her husband, Alan (Stuart Damon), that she knew about Susan Moore (Gail Ramsey), while Alice (Lieux Dressler) lectured Susan about not raising Jason as a Quartermaine heir.

In the glamorous world of fashion modeling and corporate skulduggery, the focus was on a business tycoon and the head of a modeling agency, who shrewdly guided the careers to 16-year old models Taryn (Nicollette Sheridan) and Laurie (Terry Farrell). In the opener, Laurie's mother worried about letting her daughter become a model while Taryn's diva attitude and the demanding behavior of her mother threatened her cosmetics contract. Meanwhile, businessman David Fenton (Richard Beymer) looked for a new face to save his floundering sportswear company, and his wife (Mimi Rogers) fretted that no one would hire a 30-year old model. The cast also included Morgan Fairchild as Racine as Dack Rambo as Wesley.

Meera Joshi's five-year tenure as the head of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission coincided with a tumultuous time for the industry she was tasked with overseeing and regulating.

New York City Shouldn't Regulate Ride-Hailing Apps - It Should Compete With Them
(photo: Ed Reed/Mayor's Office)
Smartphones are transforming transit in cities all over the world, and city governments are struggling to figure out how to best manage the change. If the world was looking to New York City's recently enacted legislation affecting for-hire vehicle companies, then there will be disappointment given that, once again, the city's political establishment decided to impose an outdated regulatory regime on innovative firms,
For-Hire Companies Must Make Rides Accessible to All
(photo via Uber)
They may claim to be "doing the right thing" in their splashy campaigns, but for-hire-vehicle companies like Uber and Lyft are in New York courts right now fighting fairness -- when it comes to serving the city's 99,000 wheelchair users.
Whether you need to get to a job interview, a doctor's appointment, or a dinner with friends, finding reliable and affordable transportation is a daily struggle if you use a wheelchair in New York City. The subway system -- with its tiny number of functioning elevators -- remains almost wholly inaccessible. Buses creep
Don't Let Congestion Pricing Push Accessible Taxis Off the Road
Masud Chowdhury, the author
As a longtime yellow taxi driver, I was proud to be among the first to drive one of the city's wheelchair-accessible taxis, which are equipped to serve New Yorkers with disabilities. There are now around 2,000 accessible yellow taxis in New York City as the industry continues striving to become 50 percent accessible by 2020.
But it might be impossible for taxi drivers like me to keep our accessible vehicles on the road if we are hit with high fees under a congestion pricing system designed to raise funds for mass transit repairs. While the
The City's Bogus Compromise with Uber Would Hurt Riders with Disabilities
(photo via nyc.gov)
The hustle and bustle of New York is a part of its identity: we New Yorkers are always on the move. Our officials must fight for equal access to transportation, but as those of us with disabilities know, accessible methods of travel are shamefully limited. This is why the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) has apparently been negotiating with private for-hire car companies like Uber and Lyft on the issue of wheelchair accessible taxis for several months.
This could have been an encouraging sign, but last week, it became clear
As Cities Wrestle with the 'Sharing Economy,' A New Alliance
Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen (photo: @DMAliciaGlen)
City governments across the world are trying to adjust to and standardize their approaches to companies in the so-called sharing economy. With rapidly advancing technology, major financial investment, creative entrepreneurship, and little regard for the status quo, sharing economy companies -- such as Uber and Airbnb -- often catch government regulators unprepared and disrupt entrenched interests, leading to conflict. Government leaders are forced into difficult decisions, needing to

The pace has picked up dramatically in Albany, where lawmakers had avoided any major legislative decisions since passing the budget in April. With three days left in session, dozens upon dozens of bills are being introduced, amended, and passed at a fever pace. And while a couple of deals among the governor and legislative leaders have been announced on somewhat high-profile matters, thornier issues still remain unsettled and many bills are likely to only
No Surprise Uber Drivers Are Protesting

Uber's New York City drivers continued to rally against the company last week at City Hall — and it was no coincidence that recent reports show most Uber drivers don't like their jobs.
In a new survey of Uber drivers published this month, less than half said they enjoy driving for Uber. Almost 40 percent of the drivers said they "strongly disagreed" or "disagreed" with the survey's question about whether

The denizens of Williamsburg and Bushwick have responded to news of potential multiyear L train closures with a mix of shock, despair, and irritation. People are talking through the alternatives: taking the G, J, and M trains; boarding the East River Ferry; or even (gasp!) riding the bus. Quite likely Williamsburgers will also summon a swarm of UberPools and Lyft Lines unlike any seen in our time.
Hysterics aside, it's unlikely that the MTA would do a full, year-long

The art (and soul) of spring cleaning … or a short history of why we do it
Phyllis, August 2015
Spring has sprung and that means pretty flowers, baby animals – and spring cleaning. So let's roll up our sleeves and get into it… You don't know where to start? There's too much to do? Why should we do it anyway? Fear no more. Welcome to this week's Spring Cleaning Special, where all your questions will be answered (well, lots of them anyway). Every day this week HomeHub will take you gently by the hand and guide you through a different spring cleaning task. But where to start? We start, as always, at the beginning…
Everybody's doing it
In days of yore (i.e. days gone by), winters were cold and the only way to keep warm was around a fire of wood or coal. No prizes for guessing that houses got pretty stinky, sooty and smoky. Come spring it was time to clear out the filth and get some fresh clean air into the house. As soon as it was warm and dry enough everyone in the family hauled everything out of the house including furniture and bedding. Then they got cracking on a huge job. (No labour-saving devices in those days.) Some would scrub the inside of the house from top to bottom, while others washed and aired the furniture, bedding and anything else that wasn't nailed down. It's thought that spring cleaning originated in Iran as part of the Persian New Year on the first day of the northern spring. Iranians still continue "shaking the house" just before the New Year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned. The Scots have a similar New Year tradition called Hogmanay on December 31. (Not spring, but you get the picture.) There's also the ancient Jewish practice of thoroughly cleaning the home in anticipation of the spring-time memorial feast of Passover. Leavened foodstuff is strictly forbidden during Passover and there cannot even be crumbs of such food in the house. Not only did Jews "spring clean" the house to remove all forbidden food, they had a candlelit hunt for the crumbs the evening before Passover. Greeks and other Orthodox people traditionally clean the house thoroughly immediately before or during the first week of Great Lent (slightly different timing to western Lent). It's also referred to as Clean Week and often falls on April 1 (the start of the northern spring.) Now we know why we do it, it's time to work out how to do it. Check out HomeHub tomorrow where we'll explore how to tackle two of the yuckiest cleaning tasks of the season: the oven and fridge.

May not be of actual members. Getting your profile viewed by gays or trans sexuals gave me an uneasy feeling. Search options, as already discussed, are comprehensive and truly one-of-a-kind.
My point in saying that is that a part of me understands why she posts here.
Hi.I'm really just trying to get lai.
If the chemistry is that intense between you and #2 guy, then go for it. When things really get going, you will become more of a priority, and possibly will change his life in order to be with you. It's always a risk tho, BUT if you give yourself a deadline like say 6 months, and things haven't changed in his scheduling, then stop wasting your time.

Through Colonial Doorways
Through Colonial Doorways - Anne Hollingsworth Wharton. The author invites the reader to enter "through the broad doorways of some Colonial homes into the hospitable life within" in order to gain insight into the social and domestic life of Colonial days as revealed by correspondence, journal entries, and anecdotes. Numerous brief excerpts from letters and diaries enliven these pages, and every page is generously peppered with names and vivid detail. Glimpse the festivities of the Meschianza; drop in at New York balls and receptions; or join Dr. Franklin's American Philosophical Society whose object was to bring into correspondence all scientists, philosophers and inventors from this country and Europe. "Prominent among the portraits of early officers is an interesting picture of Thomas Jefferson, who was third president of the Philosophical Society, as well as of the United States." Mingle with Philadelphia society at the exclusive Wistar Parties, or visit the Philadelphia Dancing Assemblies. "Some of the old names run down the Assembly list through all the years to our own time, as Chew, Shippen, M'Call, Hopkinson, McIlvaine, White, Barclay, Cadwalader, Coxe, Lardner, and many more, while others have quite disappeared from Philadelphia society." Finally, sneak a peak at a few old love letters, including some tender words from William Penn and Rev. Elias Keach. Illustrated chapter headings and closings add considerable charm to this volume, and a full-name plus subject index augments its value to researchers.

This is a lovely peaceful flat is located right on Harrison Park with wonderful views. We're just a 20 minute walk to central Edinburgh, 15 minutes from Haymarket railway station, with excellent bus links.
There are fabulous bars and restaurants and pubs within walking distance of the flat and the canal, with its cycle path straight into town, is just through the park and is a wonderful scenic way to get into town.

Cost of Living Crisis: People Eating Pet Food in UK
LONDON (Dispatches) --
People are eating pet food and trying to heat meals using candles as a result of the cost of living crisis, a community food project manager has said.
UK inflation has reached a 41-year high, with the cost of food and non-alcoholic drinks soaring by 16.4 percent in the year to October, in what has been the biggest rise since 1977.
Added to soaring energy bills, households are being forced to make difficult choices between heating and eating - and it is claimed some have resorted to more extreme measures.
"I'm still shocked by the fact that we have people who are eating pet food, people who are trying to heat their food on a candle or a radiator," Mark Steed, who runs the Pantry in Cardiff's Stowbridge area, told the BBC.
"These are shocking kind of stories that are actually the truth, we know from trusted people that have ended up sharing this in tears with us – it shouldn't happen."
Prices have been rising at their fastest rate in four decades, with wages in the UK set to continue to stagnate, amounting to a loss of 6.2 percent – or an average of -£1,750 – over the next two years, according to the Trades Union Congress (TUC), the tightest contraction of any G7 economy.
There have been increasing numbers of people in public sector jobs such as teaching and healthcare forced to rely on food banks as the cost of living crisis intensifies, and mass strikes are taking place among workers in education, the NHS and the rail industry as people demand better pay.
Tens of thousands of teachers at schools in England and Wales are voting for the first time in a decade on whether to go on strike, amid claims that a significant number of primary teachers are working second jobs – in bartending and on a farm, at one school alone – just to afford essentials.
University staff also held what were
billed as their largest-ever strikes this month, with nurses also set to stage their first-ever UK-wide strike in the weeks ahead, joining transport and postal workers on the picket lines.
Speaking to the BBC, Seed – a community worker of 20 years experience – said: "Cardiff is a flourishing city, however there are pockets of deprivation which are simply not acceptable.
"People are not being paid enough to afford essentials, he warned, as the cost of living crisis pushes prices way up "so that everybody is squeezed or they just can't afford it.
"What they are telling us is that they are working every hour they can."
The cost of living crisis is affecting millions across the country. According to the charity National Energy Action, over eight million households in the UK will be in fuel poverty by next April.
That would include 1.8 million carers, 5.9 million low-income and financially vulnerable households and 3.6 million disabled people.
That's an increase of nearly 90% from last year and means one in three households will be paying a disproportionate amount of their income on energy bills.
A home is considered to be in fuel poverty if households need to spend 10 percent or more of their income on energy to properly heat their property.
Eighty-one percent of homeowners told an NEA survey they will ration heating over the next three months, 55 percent are already cutting back on hot water and 13 percent are reducing use of medical equipment.
In April, the cap on household energy bills will mean average bills will rise from £2,500 to £3,000 a year.
Meanwhile, the End Fuel Poverty Coalition said more frail and older people could die next winter without further action to cut bills for the most vulnerable.

Report: Leeds United target Jamal Lowe slapped a price tag of £2 million
by Rishap May 25, 2019, 11:41 pm
Leeds United News: Leeds United will have to pay £2 million for Portsmouth starlet Jamal Lowe.
PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 02: Jamal Lowe of Portsmouth in action during the Checkatrade Trophy Round 2 match between Portsmouth and Northampton Town at Fratton Park on December 2, 2017 in Portsmouth, England. (Photo by Pete Norton/Getty Images)
The Whites are one amongst many clubs to show interest in the Portsmouth winger.
Lowe's breakthrough season with Portsmouth
The 24-year-old had a great season with Pompey, scoring 16 goals and providing 9 assists across all competitions.
He was pivotal for his side to lift EFL Trophy and to reach the Playoffs before losing to Sunderland in semi-finals.
Lowe started his career with Barnet and played for several clubs over the course before joining the Pompey in 2017.
And the talented English youngster is making great progress which can be seen through the inflation in his scoring rate than compared to the previous seasons.
He is tied with the club until 2021 and Pompey are expecting around £2 million as stated earlier.
Why should Leeds move for Lowe?
The Whites endured a gruesome phase after failing to secure promotion to Premier League.
And Marcelo Bielsa's attacking options failed to show up in the final third of the Championship.
Manchester City-bound Jack Harrison has fared decently this season and the chance of keeping him is really looking bleak as the Cityzens impose a hefty price tag of £25 million.
Meanwhile, another promising winger Jack Clarke has fallen out of favour at Elland Road lately and is being linked with a move to Tottenham.

Given this, Leeds should look for Lowe, who comes at an affordable cost and has the tendency to influence Bielsa's side.
At the same time, the Whites will not find it too difficult to bring Lowe to Elland Road after Pompey failed to secure Championship promotion.
