Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore
Alephalpha / Wikipedia.org
A large, scenting hound dog, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore has been in existence for around 200 years and was originally developed in France. Used to hunt a variety of game, this dog is well-respected for the dedication it shows to its work. They have a well-muscled, sturdy body that lends itself to an athletic lifestyle.
The exercise requirements of this breed are incredibly high and are unlikely to be adequately met in a non-working environment. Most breed members enjoy the company of other dogs and also get on well with people of all ages. Often displaying a stubborn streak, a firm trainer is advised to avoid this dog ignoring basic commands.
There are three well-known Grand Anglo-Français breeds, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore being one of them. These breeds are distinguished by their coat colour, and the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore has a distinctive black, white and tan coat. Developed within France in the 1800s, this breed is a descendant of the English Foxhound and the lesser-known Poitevin.
As with the other Grand Anglo-Français breeds, the 'Grand' in their name (the French word for big) is a reference to the large packs within which they hunt. Bred specifically for hunting, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore is known for its endurance and speed. Traditionally, this breed has been used to hunt deer and boar, among a variety of other game. Prized for its ability to work tirelessly, no matter the weather conditions or terrain under-foot, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore has a superb sense of smell regardless of the circumstances in which it is working.
Even within France, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore is thought of as a rare breed. It was not until 2006 that the UKC officially accepted them within their scent hound group. Not really kept as a companion animal, most breed members are owned by active hunters.
For those familiar with either the Grand Anglo-Français Blanc et Orange or the Grand Anglo-Français Blanc et Noir, they may recognise the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore, who differs from the previous two breeds by coat colour alone. All three of these dogs are tall, slim hounds with lean bodies and typical 'hound-like' features.
The Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore should appear elegant and almost antiquated in their appearance. They should be robustly built with a deep chest and straight back that is supported by straight, muscular limbs. Their broad skull has an obvious stop, while their square-shaped muzzle should contain a full set of teeth that meet in a scissors bite. Their large brown eyes, hanging ears and prominent black nose are all features that are characteristic of a scent hound. Their long, slim tail tends to have a white tip.
As it suggests in the name, this is a tri-colour breed with white, tan and black fur. Their double-coat is both short and smooth. Dogs stand between 60cm and 70cm tall at the withers, generally weighing between 30kg and 35kg. Their gait should be effortless and a pleasure to watch.
The hunting temperament of the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore is very desirable indeed. Dedicated to their job, they are brave hunters with the ability to work continuously for hours on end in a variety of conditions. Having worked in large packs for the duration of their career, they are content in the presence of a large number of other dogs, and canine to canine aggression is rare. Housing this breed with any other pet is ill-advised, as they are likely to see it as prey.
For the last 200 years, this breed has become used to an outdoor lifestyle and is often kept outdoors, even at night time. Owing to this, it is questionable whether or not they would adapt well to an indoor lifestyle as a companion animal. Always keen to wander and ramble, it should be assumed that a Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore kept as a pet would need a large home with a vast garden.
Owners claim that the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore socialises well with people, including children, though care is advised with toddlers who may find the sturdy breed too much to handle. While this dog will likely alert their owner of an intruder by barking, they are unlikely to make good guard dogs due to their docile nature.
With an inherent desire to hunt and a great natural ability, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore is suited to a hunting job and needs little in the way of training when it comes to carrying out its role in the field.
A firm trainer is needed to take charge of the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore, who is unlikely to obey commands from a hesitant trainer and can be pig-headed at times. Small bribes, such as tasty treats and a few minutes of play with a dog toy, can be used to encourage positive behavior.
Living on average from 10-13 years, the active Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore tends to enjoy good health throughout its lifetime. While there are no definitive health studies available to consult, it would be prudent to monitor breed members for the following health conditions:
An abnormal hip joint can result in laxity (looseness) of the hip and subsequent osteoarthritis. Dogs will initially become less active and may develop a stiff gait and a limp. A multi-modal treatment plan is often advised, consisting of exercise modification, lifestyle changes, joint supplements and life-long medication.
Bloat or GDV
The deep chest of the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore is thought to make it more prone to developing bloat. A bloated stomach may twist on its axis, trapping the contents within and causing localised compression and potentially even shock. X-rays are often used to diagnose the condition, and if the stomach has rotated, a surgery will be performed to correct its positioning. In some cases, during the surgery, a vet will 'tack' the stomach to prevent it from rotating again in the future. This procedure is known as a 'gastropexy'.
The floppy ears of the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore require weekly cleaning to remove any debris or fluid that has built up inside. Most veterinary clinics will be more than happy to demonstrate ear cleaning to an unsure owner. An untreated ear infection can become chronic and may even develop into an inner ear infection. Ear infections can cause a dog a great deal of discomfort and should be treated immediately.
Muscle Strains & Injuries
As with any dog that works for a living, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore will have a higher chance of developing injuries over their lifetime than will companion animals or show dogs. Most commonly, they will be seen at a veterinary clinic for lacerations, claw injuries, soft tissue injuries and fractures.
In the ideal situation, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore would be used as a working dog. When this is not possible, it is essential that they are provided with intensive exercise every day. Failing to do so will result in an unhappy dog that develops negative behaviours due to frustration and ennui. This character trait needs to be remembered when the hunting season comes to an end, as some other sort of substitute activity needs to be provided to the pack.
Off-lead exercise can be dangerous in certain situations, as the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore is a breed that will follow it nose to the exclusion of everything else. Small animals, such as rabbits and foxes, would not be safe in their presence.
Fortunately, the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore requires little in the way of grooming and does well with a quick brush down a few times a month. Depending on which ground they work on, some dogs may benefit from claw trims every few months.
It is important that the ears of the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore are not neglected, as they are prone to the development of otitis exerna (outer ear infections). Owners can reduce the incidence of these infections by thoroughly drying the ear canals after any wet activities, and by cleaning the ears out weekly to fortnightly.
Famous Grand Anglo-Français Tricolores
A rare dog that is seldom seen outside of France and is not widely known, there are no famous Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore dogs.
While the Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore was itself a cross between the English Foxhound and the Poitevin, there are no well-known Grand Anglo-Français Tricolore cross-breeds in existence today.

Are you worried about jail or losing your license? Let's look at defenses you may have and how I can help you with a charge under 46.2-301 Va Code.
46.2-301 – Driving while license, permit, or privilege to drive suspended or revoked.
B. Except as provided in §§ 46.2-304 and 46.2-357, no resident or nonresident (i) whose driver's license, learner's permit, or privilege to drive a motor vehicle has been suspended or revoked or (ii) who has been directed not to drive by any court or by the Commissioner, or (iii) who has been forbidden, as prescribed by operation of any statute of the Commonwealth or a substantially similar ordinance of any county, city or town, to operate a motor vehicle in the Commonwealth shall thereafter drive any motor vehicle or any self-propelled machinery or equipment on any highway in the Commonwealth until the period of such suspension or revocation has terminated or the privilege has been reinstated or a restricted license is issued pursuant to subsection E. A clerk's notice of suspension of license for failure to pay fines or costs given in accordance with § 46.2-395 shall be sufficient notice for the purpose of maintaining a conviction under this section. For the purposes of this section, the phrase "motor vehicle or any self-propelled machinery or equipment" shall not include mopeds.
1. Driving – Were you actually driving? Or were you outside the vehicle when the officer came up to you? Maybe it was an accident case, where the Commonwealth isn't sure who was behind the wheel.
2. Motor vehicle – Were you driving a "motor vehicle"? Or was this some other type of vehicle, such as a moped?
3. Suspended – Was your license actually suspended at the time of the alleged driving? Maybe you had a restricted license, but the officer didn't believe that you were within your restrictions.
4. Notice – Did you KNOW that your license was suspended? If you didn't know about the license suspension (and didn't have reason to know), that could be a defense to the charge.
What punishments are you facing?
In addition, if you've had 2 or more prior offenses under 46.2-301, the law requires that you get 10 days of mandatory minimum jail.
What can we do? – Fight!
The good news is that we may have defenses to your charge of driving on a suspended license. We may be able to fight different parts of the case and argue that the Commonwealth can't properly prove that you are guilty.
If you get your license back before court, that may also help us to minimize the damage that you're facing. In some courts, coming to trial with your license in hand could get the charge reduced to a minor traffic ticket with just a small fine to pay.
Contact me today to discuss your defenses and what options you may have for your case!

ETNO slams EC agreement on 5G spectrum - Mobile World Live
ETNO slams EC agreement on 5G spectrum
Telecoms lobbying group ETNO hit out at an agreement struck between EU countries and lawmakers late last week to free up spectrum for 5G, arguing the deal lacked ambition.
ETNO released a statement responding to an announcement by the European Commission which said it had reached an agreement with the European Parliament and Council regarding the implementation of new telecoms rules and radio spectrum policy. The new measures includes an arrangement to free up radio spectrum for 5G by 2020, with licences valid for 20 years, as the continent attempts to compete with early 5G movers the US and Asia.
However ETNO, which represents the interests of European telecoms operators including Orange and Telefonica, said the planned policy falls short of initial ambitions for 5G, while arguing 25-year long licences were needed to ensure the investment required for 5G is met.
"5G is too important for Europe to accept a compromise falling short of the original ambition," said Lise Fuhr, ETNO director general.
"Future licences need to deliver increased certainty with respect to the status quo and a truly effective peer review system is essential to ensure the credibility of spectrum," she added.
The agreement on spectrum forms part of the EU's wider telecoms reform, known as the European Commission's Electronic Communications Code, and follows years of negotiations between the regulator and EU governments. Reuters reported the EU wants a formal agreement in place by the end of July.
While the EU targets a 5G launch by 2020, US operators have revealed ambitions to launch mobile 5G services by the end of this year, while many leading Asian countries are targeting rollout in 2019.

Authorities finally move against Australian mining company
Tormin accused of breaching environmental licence
By Glenn Ashton
From GroundUp
The controversial Australian mining company Mineral Resources Commodities (MRC) has launched a court case against the national Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) arising from the department's raid on the company's Tormin Mine, situated 350 kilometers north of Cape Town.
A spokesperson for the company Anne Dunn, confirmed that MRC was taking legal action.
The raid in late September had been expected after numerous complaints to mining and environmental authorities about alleged illegal actions by the mine in the coastal zone. These include the construction of structures on the beach zone, mining in prohibited zones and questions about a massive collapse of the sea cliffs below the mine processing plant.
This cliff partially collapsed apparently as a consequence of activity at the Tormin mine on the West Coast.
These actions fall under the the National Environmental Management Act and specifically the Integrated Coastal Management Act (ICMA). They also appear to be in conflict with Tormin's mine licence conditions managed under the Mineral Petroleum Resources Development Act.
This was the second recent blow for MRC. The company announced its withdrawal from the rich Xolobeni mineral sands project on the Wild Coast in July this year after divisions in the community peaked with the murder of anti-mining leader Sikhosiphi "Bazooka" Rhadebe in March.
Tormin's mining practice has been in the spotlight since the mine began operations in March 2014. The following month the Department of Mineral Resources issued the mine with instructions to rectify several changes it had made to its mining practices which deviated significantly from the original environmental authorisation provisions of the mining licence.
These beaches are famous for their pink sands, tinted by high proportions of garnet, a super-hard and therefore commercially useful mineral. Other minerals – zircon, ilmenite, rutile and leucoxene – were further treasures hidden within the pink sands. These minerals collectively make up almost half of the beach by volume, a veritable bonanza. Tormin declared a profit of $12.9 million on a turnover of $48 million in 2015, its first full year of operation.
From the outset Tormin only had environmental clearance to extract around 5% of the minerals, specifically the zircon and rutile. This would have had only limited environmental impact. However the mine unilaterally began to extract the full range of minerals from the sand, a move that placed the environment of the mine at serious risk through extraction of half of the beach sand by volume.
Google Earth image from 2013 of the cliff prior to its collapse
This was taken as the cliff started collapsing. Seepage from the mine site/groundwater table is evident. (Feb 2015) Photo supplied
Google earth view of the collapse (February 2016)
Another view of the partial collapse. Two notable things are visible here. A slurry on the left side of the collapse indicates high water levels. On the right hand side mine overburden pipelines are visible. These are illegally situated. The mining licence stipulates that they must be laid along roadways and buried. (May 2015)
This shows the "repairs" to the cliff by Tormin, which were presumably not permitted by the Department of Environmental Affairs as this would have required a NEMA section 24 notice and permission in respect to ICMA. Also it is evident from this picture that the mine has used its overburden to repair the cliff and also presumably material from its "dam" to the south of the mine processing site. (June 2016)
These beaches are backed by steep, unstable sea cliffs. Consequently all mining – and any other activity at all – was forbidden in a buffer zone that extended 10 metres from the foot of the cliffs seaward. However this has apparently been ignored from the outset, with details of mining recorded in aerial photographs and Google Earth images.
Because the entire mine is directly on the beach, it falls within what is defined by ICMA as the coastal protection zone. This includes an area up to a kilometre from the shoreline. ICMA provides substantial statutory protection to this important ecological zone, hence the exclusion zone. ICMA is administered by the DEA.
It is also important to note that when Tormin gained permission to mine the beach, mining was jointly governed by both DEA and DMR. DEA dealt with environmental governance and DMR with mining. However in December 2014 this changed into what is known as the "one environmental system" where DMR assumed all responsibilities for mine management, including the environment. This is central to the legal challenge Tormin has launched against DEA's raid on the mine.
DMR appears to have insufficient capacity, knowledge, or will to enforce good environmental governance. This has been evident at Tormin. In March 2015 DMR questionably granted Tormin permission to expand the processing area, which also falls in the coastal zone. The department also permitted a radical change in mining methodology that involved trucking all the beach sand to the processing zone on the cliffs above the beach. This was originally to have been pumped in a concentrated slurry from the beach.
Worse yet, in April 2015 the Western Cape director of DMR granted permission for further plant expansion and for the illegal groyne – a structure running from the beach out to sea – that Tormin had built on the beach, from within the exclusion zone well into the surf zone. This kind of activity is prohibited under ICMA and requires extensive environmental research. The provincial DEA informed DMR that its permission was irregular and could not be countenanced. DMR failed to take further action.
Various independent parties repeatedly informed both DMR and DEA of their concerns about these contraventions, to no avail. In November 2015, the Centre for Environmental Rights wrote a letter to the Western Cape office of DEA, setting out that department's obligations in terms of ICMA and its statutory obligation to take action against the alleged transgressions by Tormin. In May 2016 DEA responded that it took the matter seriously and was investigating, in consultation with DMR.
Action was finally taken in the raid this month, almost a year after the letter to DEA. The raid involved representatives from national and provincial DEA, The South African Police Services, The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform and the local Matzikama Municipality. DEA spokesperson Albi Modise told GroundUp that the raid formed part of a criminal investigation process.
The legality of the raid has subsequently been challenged by Tormin via its holding company Mineral Sands Resources. However the DEA was, at the time of writing, not aware of any legal challenge to the raid.
Several questions arise. First, if everything was above-board at Tormin why would the company be reluctant to allow inspection of its operations? Tormin has established a record of discouraging and preventing inspections by various parties, including DEA and the municipality. The latter's officials have been forbidden by elected councillors to inspect the mine, an illegal action under the Municipal Systems Act. Tormin has claimed that inspections disrupt operations, a hollow excuse.
Secondly, if there were no problems, why is Tormin challenging the legality of the raid in what appears to be a direct attempt to stonewall the investigation?
Contacted by GroundUp, Tormin and its director, Mark Caruso, declined to comment further on the matter. A report in News24 by Matthew le Cordeur quoted Caruso as saying he felt the warrant was illegal as the mine was regulated by DMR not DEA. He went on to claim that Tormin was legally compliant with mining and environmental legislation.
These claims appear trite. If everything was above-board, Caruso should have no concerns. It is telling that he apparently wishes to retreat to the protection of DMR, given that department's apparently limited grasp of its environmental responsibilities and its bizarre prior rulings.
What consequences may Tormin face? Firstly, it could be in breach of its mining licence by mining in the exclusion zone. It could be forced, under section 24 of the National Environmental Management Act, to rectify this and to address the construction of the rock groyne. It could be ordered to properly repair the collapsed cliff. It could be instructed to address the changes to mining methodology and put proper measures in place to prevent further erosion of the beach and cliffs. Work at the mine could be halted until this is done.
If the DEA raid found sufficient evidence – apparently computers and documents were removed from the mine – that these actions were knowingly undertaken, management could be held liable and criminal action could be instituted. Ignorance of the law is no excuse; it is the duty of the mine owners to be fully informed and adhere to all relevant legislation.
The result could involve substantial damages, a revision of the operating licence of the mine, withdrawal of the licence entirely or even the expulsion of the company from the country.
After years of civil society oversight, the authorities have finally taken action and are investigating some serious concerns with Tormin's management practices.
Australian mining companies have evoked mixed response in Africa. Some are exemplary, participatory and transparent. Others feel they can do as they wish without consequence. Judgement remains open in Tormin's case.

This month marks 15 months since Personal Independence Payments came into effect in the UK, taking over from Disability Living Allowance for people of working age. It's been a gradual rollout, with new applicants immediately going through to PIP while some DLA recipients slowly made the transition through reassessments.
As it stands, this month marks the mid-point in this transition. We're 15 months from the second batch of reassessments, when the remaining people on DLA will be assessed to see if they meet the criteria for PIP. And while this may all sound fine, there's a unanimous view that it is a severely flawed system.
Six months ago, in February, the first set of figures concerning PIP were released by the Department for Work and Pensions. And these figures were shocking, revealing that since the payments were first implemented nine months previously, fewer than one in six people had their claim decided. That makes for some long waiting times for people who are, more than likely, in situations where waiting isn't much of an option.
Sarah Lloyd* suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression and Anxiety. She has attempted suicide numerous times and her anxiety makes it very difficult for her to communicate with people or be in unfamiliar locations. As a result of this Sarah is unable to work, as her medication doesn't resolve the problems. Though she is currently a student and therefore receiving some fixed income through student loans and grants, her condition makes it increasingly difficult for her to maintain her studies. Her only hope of an income at this stage is through PIP.
Despite having had her assessment, there is no telling when a decision will be reached about Sarah's application. But still, Sarah is one of the lucky ones. Her waiting time for assessment was around six months, which is short in comparison to what many have to endure. During this time, Sarah found it difficult to stay afloat financially.
PIP is replacing DLA, according to gov.uk, to provide "a more objective assessment" of individuals and to make sure there are "regular reviews so that individuals continue to get the right support". But this change appears to have inadvertently backfired: the long waiting times mean that individuals aren't getting the right support when they need it, and are going months without any support. And the "more objective" assessment may lead to stricter rules, something Neil Matthews* is dreading.
Neil is registered blind (though he does have some sight) and has mobility issues, so is currently receiving DLA and is due for reassessment in October 2015. "I'm in a very grey area," Neil explains. "Although I'm registered blind, because I can read without a visual aid I might not be entitled to anything for my vision.
The campaign Neil is referring to was by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), who are responsible for delaying the DLA reassessment to October 2015. They are also responsible for a number of changes to the PIP regulations, such as treating a cane in the same way as a guide dog - meaning that cane users should now be able to qualify for enhanced mobility rate of PIP if they receive the higher rate of DLA.
It says a lot about the PIP regulations that such an oversight was made in terms of the use of canes for mobility, especially given that It forms part of the existing DLA criteria. Things like this are what make applicants very cautious about applying for PIP, and wonder whether the change was really necessary.
Neil agrees with this. "I couldn't tell you a single benefit of PIP over DLA, but I could for DLA over PIP. I know the stricter guidelines will help prevent fraud, but it's making it much harder for people in actual need too. Plus DLA has a mid-rate that PIP doesn't, which is what I'm on for mobility at the moment. That seems like a better approach to me, rather than netting at either high or low amounts.


There was always high demand for something cold during the hot Florida summers where I grew up. Lemonade stands were a popular way to earn some extra cash.
One summer day, a kid down the street set up a competing lemonade stand. Over the course of a few hours, I noticed my nemesis had more foot traffic, including one of my best neighborhood friends.
I asked my buddy for some feedback and he indelicately said, "her lemonade tastes better." I immediately acted on this by preparing a new batch of lemonade and started handing out free samples. By the end of the afternoon, my foot traffic improved and my nemesis knew I meant business.
This quick and agile feedback is increasingly important in consumer packaged good. In fact, when it makes sense, I think we need to replicate the lemonade stand in the front-end of innovation.
Too often we rely on quantitative concept tests to determine if we should move forward with a new product. If the product can be rapidly and economically prototyped, it might make sense to gauge consumer interest via a lemonade stand.
What do I mean by a lemonade stand? Make a batch of the product. Rapidly create some packaging. Go to a retail location, hand out samples, and allow consumers to buy the product at a promotional price. I've run some quick numbers, and you could probably use this approach at a cost far less than what you'd spend on a series of research projects prior to launch.
1. Concept testing, is, well, conceptual.
You are asking people to tell you whether they would buy an abstraction. Brain science tells us that nearly three-quarters of all adults are highly-sensory. That is, they take in information by using their senses—touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight. A traditional concept test does not activate these senses. In a lemonade stand, you would be getting feedback on an actual thing. My bet is that this information is more reliable.
You can get direct feedback on the product, packaging, and claims in one consumer encounter.
3. The proportion of people who decide to purchase the product (even for $1) is very telling.
This is a behavioral response, and it is a more reliable measure of consumer enthusiasm.
Am I suggesting that you throw out all concept testing? No!
These methods are pretty good at winnowing out potential winners from a large volume of ideas. However, if you are dealing with a high-risk project, a new category, or something new to market, the lemonade stand is a viable option. It assumes, of course, that you can quickly and cost-effectively make a batch of the product and iterate as you learn.
As I look back, there were some important lessons learned in running my lemonade stand — more than just turning lemons into lemonade. Even though my buddy's honesty stung, his insight allowed me to get quick feedback, iterate my product, and monitor the market's reaction.

MASSPIRG hosts seminar on hunger and homelessness

The MASSPIRG campaign to end hunger and homelessness hosted an educational seminar from different community members on Wednesday in Hasbrouck.
Speakers included Hwei-Ling Greeney, founder and assistant of the Amherst Community Connection, and Jade Lovett, the shelter director for Craig's Doors.
"In 2009, we founded the Amherst Community Connection in an effort to make sure that people with housing challenges would have housing," Greeney said. "While working at a soup kitchen in Amherst I realized I loved the work I was doing, and loved feeding these people, but the root problem of homelessness still remained."
She continued to discuss the many challenges homeless people encounter in trying to find a job. "Trying to get a job is always hard. Finding employment compounded with a disability, a mental health issue, or a former prison sentence—all these things make finding a job very difficult."
Greeney's takeaway message was one which emphasized that ending homelessness is a good thing, not just for those experiencing homelessness, but the community as a whole.
Lovett, who formerly experienced homelessness, wanted to get the dialogue going regarding ways to speak about the issue.
"Language is significant in the field of social services. In this field there has been a recent movement which seeks to shift the way we talk about individuals in our programs. We are moving away from using phrases such as 'homeless person' and incorporating phrases such as 'people experiencing homelessness,'" Lovett said.
She later went on to comment on the sad reality of the cycle of homelessness. "Due to funding issues, a lot of social services have been cut considerably in the state budget. For instance, there are no public bathrooms in Amherst and sanitation is a big issue with this topic. There are also no spaces where guests can legally stay during the off months of the shelters."
Lovett wanted to emphasize the positivity that Craig's Doors has been met with by community members and students.
"I am always amazed by the number of community members and students who volunteer their time and money to Craig's Doors and who help to keep our tiny nonprofit alive," Lovett said. "Athletic teams, Greek life, members of MASSPIRG and other student organizations—they all compose the fabric of this volunteer and donor base which constantly astounds me with their openness and compassion."
Sasha McEnaney, a freshman sociology and legal studies major, organized the event alongside Olivia DiMarzo, a freshman nutrition major. Both are on MASSPIRG's campaign to end hunger and homelessness and have been working on this event since the beginning of the semester.
"We were so grateful to the speakers who came and spoke because it was actually quite difficult to get speakers to come at all. We emailed so many and got very few responses, so to have these two actually come and participate to speak was amazing," McEnaney said.
"We're very happy with how the event turned out. We feel this was definitely the best way to have this issue talked about—having speakers who actively work with these issues and know firsthand the challenges which go into it," added DiMarzo.
Issa Sayegh, coordinator for MASSPIRG's hunger and homelessness campaign, was also in attendance. Sayegh, a sophomore philosophymajor,wasveryhappywithhowtheeventturnedout.
"I've been on this campaign for three semesters now and am very happy with how successful the event was, and am very grateful to both the speakers and audience," Sayegh said. "I think the best way to mobilize individuals is by humanizing those experiencing homelessness and getting the dialogue going regarding the issue."

One Response to "MASSPIRG hosts seminar on hunger and homelessness"
Peter Lewicke on April 23rd, 2017 4:23 pm
Misinformation about poverty
I was amused and annoyed to see the article about a seminar about hunger and homelessness in the Collegian of April 20, 2017. The featured speakers were what amused and annoyed me. I am acquainted with both, and I have stayed at the shelter in the past, but both of those people have personal financial reasons for thinking well of that shelter and the people that it brings to town. The shelter was useful for its first couple of years, but the organization found that filling the place was advantageous, because that showed that it was needed, so they started recruiting drunks who were thrown out of other shelters to fill spaces here in Amherst. Those recruits are the drunks and bums who clutter the sidewalks in the center of town.
Amherst has had some homeless people for decades, but they were people who had associations with the town, and they mostly kept out of sight, but the people recruited by Craig's Doors have no prior experience with the town and seem to have nothing better to do than congregating on the sidewalks. Those loud drunks who were recruited make the shelter useless to local people who are homeless.
If the Town of Amherst wants to have a homeless shelter, then the shelter should not accept drunks, and recruiting should be forbidden; there are more than enough homeless people in ton without bringing in any more.
It is unfortunate that there are people who can't make a decent living in a country that claims to be the wealthiest in the world, but a large part of the problem is that the state has failed to keep its promises to ensure that people would be taken care of when other programs were ended, starting back in the early 1960's when the state took over administration of welfare from local officials and the town farms were closed. State officials said: "Don't worry; everyone will be taken care of." But some people were not taken care of. Then starting in the 1970's the mental hospitals were closed and the politicians said "Everyone will be cared for. No one will be on the street." And within two weeks they started showing up on the streets. During that period and since then jobs have been sent to other parts of this country and to other countries.
If PIRG had been interested in learning about poverty and homelessness, then it would have found speakers who are acquainted with the history of the problem and its causes, rather than people who benefit from homelessness. There are a fair number of people in the area who know the problem quite well, and many who are involved in trying to actually do something about it, instead of profitting from it.

Translated from the Spanish by Jennifer Acker. Today, philosophy invites poetry to a discussion. We have a poet—. A supposed poet, then, of whom we can ask what relationships exist between philosophy and poetry. Some time ago I said that philosophy is a fantastic branch of study. On the contrary, it can be said that it is exactly the same as poetry, although the syntax is from two distinct places, and that philosophy deserves a place in the order of aesthetics.
My father showed me his library, which seemed to me infinite, and he told me to read whatever I wanted, but that if something bored me I should put it down immediately—that is, the opposite of obligatory reading. Reading has to be a happiness, and philosophy gives us happiness, and that is the contemplation of a problem.
The world continues to be more enigmatic, more enchanting. For me reading and writing are two equally pleasurable activities.
The Garden of Forking Paths – Wikipedia
For me writing is a necessity. When I was young, I thought about what I considered the heroic life of my military elders, a life that had been rich, and mine—the life of a reader—seemed to me a poor life.
The life of a reader can be as rich as any other life. Suppose Alonso Quijano had never left his library, or bookstore, as Cervantes called it, I believe that his life reading would have been as rich as when he conceived the project of turning himself into Quixote.
For him the latter life was more real, for me reading about him has been one of the most vivid experiences of my life. And since I have committed the indecency of turning eighty-five, I confirm without melancholy that my memory is full of verses and full of books.
My memory is full of quotes in many languages, and I think, returning to philosophy, that we are not enriched by its solutions, as these solutions are doubtful, they are arbitrary, but philosophy does enrich us by demonstrating that the world is more mysterious than we thought.
Now other questions, and I hope I can answer them with fewer digressions, more concretely. I was timid when I was young. Among the important philosophical enigmas, in spite of the fact that there are many, there is one—.
Among these enigmas, one is the enigma of truth, the other is the enigma of death. For me death is a hope, the irrational certitude of being abolished, erased, and forgotten. What do I have to do with all of this? You think it matters what happens to me now, if tomorrow I will have disappeared?
I hope to be totally forgotten. I believe that this is death. But being younger, I would prefer not to remember this one in the other. His output includes short stories, essays, poetry, literary criticism, and translations. Wells, Rudyard Kipling, H. Lovecraft, Arthur Schopenhauer, G. Chesterton, Leopoldo Lugones, and R. He died in of boregs congestion in the same house in Serrano Street, Buenos Aires, where his grandson Jorge Luis Borges was born.
In this home, both Spanish and English were spoken and from earliest childhood Borges was bilingual, reading Borged, in English, at the age of He grew up in the then somewhat poor neighborhood of Palermo, in a large house equipped with an extensive English library. The family name Borges may have been derived from the English surnames Burroughs or Burgess, analogous to the transformation of the surname Evans into Ibanez. Jorge Guillermo Borges was forced into early retirement from the legal profession owing to the same failing eyesight that would eventually afflict his son, and inthe family moved to Geneva.
DIALECTICA DE LA SOLEDAD OCTAVIO PAZ PDF
Borges senior was treated by a Geneva eye specialist, while his son and daughter Norah attended school. There Borges junior learned French, initially with some difficulties, and taught himself Sendwros.
His family was comfortably wealthy, but not quite wealthy enough to live in downtown Buenos Aires. Instead, they lived in the then suburb of Palermo, famous for its knife-fights, where urban space gave way to the countryside. In the Borges family jjardin to Europe and stayed until because of World War I and domestic unrest in neutral Argentina. After World War I ended, the Borges family spent three years living in various cities: In Spain, Borges became a member of the avant-garde Ultraist literary movement anti-Modernism, which ended in with the cessation of the journal Ultra.
InBorges returned with his family to Buenos Aires where he imported the doctrine of Ultraism and launched his career as a writer by publishing poems and essays in literary journals in the Criollismo style. Later in life Borges would come to regret some of these early publications, attempting to purchase all known copies to ensure their destruction. To that point, Paul de Man has written:. Rather, they are the consistent expansion of a purely poetic consciousness to its furthest limits.
Ocampo herself introduced Borges to Adolfo Bioy Casares, ve well-known figure of Argentine literature, who was to become a frequent collaborator and dear friend. Together they wrote a number of works, some using pseudonyms H. Bustos Domecqincluding a parody detective series and fantasy stories. This involved two types of pieces. The first lay somewhere between non-fictional essays and short stories, using fictional techniques to tell essentially true stories.
The second consisted of literary forgeries, which Borges initially passed off as translations of passages from famous but seldom-read works. His fellow employees forbade Borges from cataloging more than books per day, a task which would take him about one hour.

The rest of his time he spent in the basement of the library, writing articles ibfurcan short stories. He uses this example to illustrate how his dialoguing with universal existential concerns was just as Argentine as writing about gauchos and tangos both of which he also did.
During Christmas EveBorges suffered a severe head wound: While recovering from the accident, bifurcsn began tinkering with a new style of writing, for which he would become famous. In this story, he examined the relationship between father and son and the nature of authorship.
Jorge Luis Borges – El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan AKA The Garden of Forking Paths (1941)
Without a job, his vision beginning to df due to hereditary retinal detachment, and unable to fully support himself as a writer, Borges began a new career as a public lecturer. Despite a certain degree of political persecution, he was reasonably successful, and qeu an increasingly public figure, obtaining appointments as President of the Argentine Society of Writers, and as Professor of English and American Literature at the Argentine Association of English Culture.
Around this time, Borges also began writing screenplays. Inand after the initiative of Ocampo, the new anti-Peronist military government appointed him head of the National Library.
El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan
By that time, he had become completely blind, like one of his best known predecessors, Paul Groussac for whom Borges wrote an obituary. Neither coincidence nor the irony escaped Borges and he commented on them in his work:. Let neither tear nor reproach besmirch this declaration of the mastery of God who, with magnificent irony, granted me both the gift of books and the night. The following year he received the National Prize for Literature from the University of Cuyo, the first of many honorary doctorates.
From toBorges also held a position as a professor of literature at the University of Buenos Aires, while frequently holding temporary appointments at other universities. When he was not able to read and write anymore he never learned the Braille systemhis mother, to whom he had always been devoted, became his personal secretary. Though several other Borges translations appeared in literary magazines and anthologies during the s, his international fame dates from the early s.
CATECISMO DE HEIDELBERG PDF
While Beckett was well-known and respected in the English-speaking world, and Borges at this time remained unknown and untranslated, English-speaking readers became curious about the other recipient of the prize.
The Italian government named Borges Commendatore; and the University of Texas at Austin appointed him for one year to the Tinker chair. This led to his first lecture tour in the United States.
The first translations of his work into English followed inwith lecture tours in Europe, and in subsequent years the Andean region of South America. InBorges began a five-year period of collaboration with the American translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni, thanks to whom he became better known in the English-speaking world. He also lectured prolifically. Many of these lectures were anthologized in volumes such as Siete noches Seven Nights and Nueve ensayos dantescos Nine Dantesque Essays.
It was commonly believed that his mother, who was 90, and anticipating her own death, wanted to find someone to care for her blind son. The marriage lasted less than three years. Jarsin a legal separation, Borges moved back in with his mother, with whom he lived until her death at age Thereafter, he we alone in the small flat he had shared with her, cared for by Fanny, their housekeeper of many decades.
Afterthe year his mother died, Borges began to travel all over the world, up to the time of his death. A few months before his death, via an attorney in Paraguay, he married Kodama. After bifurcann of legal wrangling about the legality of the marriage, Kodama, as sole inheritor of a significant annual income, has control over his works. Coetzee said of Boges Though senderoos to be a perennial contender, Borges was never awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Especially in the s, when he was clearly growing old and infirm, this became a glaring omission. It was speculated that he was considered unfit to receive sejderos award for his political views.
He did, however, receive the Jerusalem Prize inawarded to writers who deal with themes of human freedom and society. In addition to his short stories for dw he is most famous, Borges also wrote poetry, essays, several screenplays, and a considerable volume of literary criticism, prologues, and reviews, edited numerous anthologies, and was a borrges translator of English- French- and German-language literature into Spanish and of Old English and Norse works as well.
Since Borges lived through most of the 20th century, he was rooted in the Modernist period of culture and literature, especially Symbolism. Like his contemporary Vladimir Nabokov and the older James Joyce, he combined an interest in his native land with far broader perspectives. He also shared their multilingualism and their playfulness with language, but while Nabokov and Joyce tended—as their lives went on—toward progressively larger works, Borges remained a miniaturist.
Many of biurcan most popular stories concern the nature of time, infinity, mirrors, labyrinths, reality, philosophy, and identity. The same Borges told more and less realistic stories of South American life, stories of folk heroes, streetfighters, soldiers, gauchos, detectives, historical figures. He mixed the real and the fantastic: On several occasions, especially early in his career, these mixtures sometimes crossed the line into the realm of hoax or literary forgery.
His non-fiction also explores many bifrucan the themes found in his fiction. Borges composed poetry throughout his life.

Newport-Mesa schools chief Jeffrey Hubbard pleaded not guilty Monday to two felony charges of misappropriating public funds at the Beverly Hills district where he once worked.
Also pleading not guilty was former Beverly Hills schools facilities director Karen Christiansen, who faces two counts of misappropriation as well as five conflict of interest charges.
Christiansen, 52, remains in custody with bail set at $2 million after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz refused her attorneys' request that she be placed on home detention.
"Do I want to set precedent here by saying I'm going to put you on an ankle bracelet (for) $2 million in your house?" Schwartz asked.
Hubbard, 53, is free on his own recognizance, but must submit to fingerprinting and a mug shot by Jan. 14, Schwartz ordered.
Hubbard is charged with giving a $20,000 stipend to Christiansen, plus raising her car allowance from $150 a month to $500, both without board authorization. Christiansen, in a press release from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, was accused of self-dealing and illegally taking $5.2 million from the Beverly Hills school district. That figure has since been reducted to $2.2 million in money from a school construction bond. She also is accused of receiving kickbacks from a contractor that she supported before the school board.
A preliminary hearing for Hubbard and Christiansen was set for Jan. 18 at the courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport — in a case that has gone before three judges in Beverly Hills, one in Santa Monica and two at the Airport Courthouse. Holiday schedules, legal jousting and in one case, a friendship with Hubbard, caused the judges to recuse themselves or pass on the case in proceedings over the last week.
On Monday, Beverly Hills judge Elden Fox recused himself because he and Hubbard had worked in the same Rotary Club and "he thinks Hubbard is a great guy," said attorney Philip Kaufler, a member of Christiansen's defense team.
Hubbard has been on vacation since the charges were announced Dec. 9. He is expected to return to the helm of Newport-Mesa Unified School District on Tuesday. He left Beverly Hills in 2006.

Saudi Arabia has tripled VAT, and it could impact its economic recovery
The new VAT regime would affect consumption and lifestyle patterns and that would in turn reflect in the economic indicators of the country

The Saudi economy shrank by 1 percent year-on-year in Q1. Though a recovery is likely later this year, supported by the lifting of lockdown restrictions, this will be held back by the imposition of fiscal austerity, including the tripling of the VAT rate that takes effect from today.
"This negative growth originated mainly from the contraction in the oil sector by 4.6 percent, while the non-oil sector recorded a positive growth rate of 1.6 percent," the General Authority for Statistics said.
However, the economic indicators for the second quarter point to a sharp downturn.
The kingdom's move to reduce oil production will act as a major drag on the economy. Moreover, the lockdown led to a slump in non-oil activity.
According to Capital Economics, lockdown will result in weak domestic demand. Non-oil imports fell 28.4 percent Y-o-Y in April. ATM withdrawals and point of sale transactions, proxies for consumer spending, plunged by more than 30 percent Y-o-Y in April and May. And, as construction activity dried up, local deliveries of cement and clinker fell by more than 25 percent Y-o-Y over the same period.
"The government ended the country's lockdown earlier this month and there are signs that economic activity has started to recover. Nonetheless, we expect the recovery to be relatively slow-going as fiscal austerity measures bite," Jason Tuvey, Senior Emerging Markets Economist at Capital Economics said in a note.
On May 11th, the kingdom announced that The Cost of Living Allowance will be suspended from June and the VAT rate will triple from 5 percent to 15 percent, effective 1st July. Increasing the VAT will cause inflation to jump from 1.1 percent year-on-year in May to 5.5-6. percent year-on-year in July weighing heavily on household incomes.
Saudi Minister of Finance, Mohammad Al Jadaan, said the measures were imposed to protect the kingdom's economy and overcome the unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic crisis and its financial and economic repercussions with the least possible damage.

The new VAT regime would affect consumption and lifestyle patterns and that would in turn reflect the economic performance of the country.
Nicholas Soverall, Head of Indirect Tax at KPMG in Saudi Arabia, said: "Due to the high rate, I would expect a significant drop in spending after VAT is implemented. Again, it will be much likely [similar] to what was experienced in early 2018, but for a much more sustained period. It will also result in a decrease in net disposable income of consumers and immediate inflationary effect."
Businesses are expected to experience a major impact both commercially and administratively and should ensure readiness for effective transition by focusing on whether they can accommodate multiple rates and trace and account transactions before and after the VAT change.
"Businesses could face challenges such as accounting for VAT in different scenarios such as rebates, discounts, advances, etc. Contracts, where the pricing or VAT rate is fixed, raise a concern especially when the delivery takes place post-July 1 as it may have a direct impact on profits," Soverall said in a webinar.

We ended 2017 over in Wenatchee, just as we ended 2016. This year, oddly while we started the week with snow at home, and much less on the eastern side of the Cascades. One night, the temperature even climbed to nearly 50°, causing the snow to melt, then refreeze as a heavy crust of ice. It made for less than ideal sledding conditions, but once we broke through the crust, there was still plenty of good snow to build a snowman. There was also plenty to do inside, between eating far too many Christmas cookies, playing games, and conducting some outrageously cool science experiments involving bubbles and dry ice with my brother-in-law and niece. With less to do outdoors, I also spent an astonishing amount of time reading, making it through two books over the course of the weekend! Still, I found myself dreaming of past adventures sparkling with deep snow, so I'm definitely hoping for a snowy winter 2018!


Is it that methylpropene is the more correct title?
Any Difference between 'butene' and 'but-1-ene'?
The 2 isn't needed as there is only one position the methyl group can be positioned in order for it to actually be methylpropene.
You will often see molecules with a locant (locating number) which is not required for unambiguity.
If the position of an attachment is unambiguous without a locant then it becomes redundant.
However, it may be considered 'extra' help in delivering the molecular structure by an exam board and so is used.
methylpropane is correct, but if you put 2-methylpropane you will probably also get the name mark.
How do you convert ethanol into propene???
