South East Caucus Of The National Assembly Holds Extraordinary Meeting; Deliberates on sit-at-home orders and the Detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The South East Caucus of the National Assembly held an extraordinary session on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, to review developments in the South East, particularly (a) The security situation in the region vis-à-vis the sit-at-home orders and (b) The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Rising from the meeting, the Caucus:
Expressed solidarity with our people of the South East over the marginalisation of the region in the scheme of things within the Nigerian commonwealth. The Caucus feels the pains of our people and their quest for equity, justice, and protection of their lives and property in every part of the country. The Caucus, therefore, resolved to continue to fight for a level-playing ground and an enabling federal system where Ndigbo are able to develop their homeland at their own pace and equally pursue their happiness and actaulise their enormous potentials in every part of the country, unmolested.
2. Reviewed the sit-at-home orders by the IPOB and the mayhem some nefarious elements have seized the opportunity to visit on the lives, properties, and psyche of our people. The Caucus equally reviewed and rued the incalculable economic losses and hardships these have brought upon our region.
3. Resolved to condemn in strongest terms the disruption of the ongoing Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in some parts of the South East, particularly the incident at Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkume, Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State, where the English examination organised by the West Africa Examination Council, WAEC, on Monday, September 13, 2021, was ruthlessly scuttled by armed men, who chased away the students, teachers, and examiners before setting ablaze motorcycles belonging to the teachers. This is certainly not who we are as a people. On the contrary, we are a people, who have always cherished and encouraged learning from the ages. We are a people that fully appreciate the place of education in the liberation and enlightenment of the human mind and the socio-economic and political emancipation of a people.
4. Equally condemned in strongest terms the incessant killings in the South East. This must stop immediately. We call on the security agencies to unravel the culprits behind these wicked acts and ensure that they are brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others.
5. Noted with delight that IPOB has called off the Monday sit-at-home order and resolved to ensure that nobody uses them as façades to bring ruination on Igbo land.
6. Call on our people to go about their lawful businesses and enjoin our governors and the security agencies to rebuild confidence in our people by not only ensuring the security of their lives and properties, but also ensuring that our people feel safe as they undertake their legitimate businesses.
7 .Elaborately discussed the issue of Mazi Nnamdi and resolved to intervene. To this end we resolved to set up a committee to constructively interface with relevant stakeholders, the Federal Government and its relevant agencies towards finding a political solution. We will keep Ndigbo abreast of developments in regard.
8. Appeal to our people not to allow anyone to destroy the South East region. The post-war South East was not built through government patronage, but largely by the sheer determination and sacrifices of our people, who refused to resign to fate or bow their heads in defeat. It is in Igbo land that you easily find hospitals, schools, roads, and other social amenities built by individual or communal efforts of the people, home and abroad, through the instruments of the town unions and other community organisations such as the age grades, Umuada, etc. The result is the comparative transformation witnessed in every nook and cranny of Igbo land post-civil war. Therefore, as a people, we cannot begin to undermine ourselves or become our own nemesis.
Times like these call for introspection. We must also always bear in mind that our people thrive on industry, commerce, and the informal sector. Importantly, most of our people depend on daily income. Therefore, while we must fight for our rights and legitimately express our displeasures over every form of mistreatment, injustice, and inequity, we certainly cannot afford to be the proverbial lizard that ruined his mother's funeral. Anything that threatens Igbo businesses, the peace, security, and stability of the South East threatens our very existence as a people. Consequently, bearing in mind that if we allow cracks in the wall, lizards will invade our home, we must all pull together as one people to discourage and resist any tendencies and actions, within or without, which pollute our business environments or encourages anarchy and instability in our region.
9.Finally resolved to join hands with other patriotic Nigerians across regional, religious, political, and ethnic divides to reconstruct a federal system where our rights, happiness, and prosperity and those of our unborn generations are guaranteed.

A revolving camera shot gives us a 360 degree view of the car, and the close-up aesthetics of the ad are matched in intensity and brilliance by the vehicular soundtrack.
The Mill's VFX team were tasked with stitching five different plates together to create the seamless and continuous feel of the spot.

Authorities hunt for loose alligator in Maryland
By Ben Hooper
Authorities in St. Mary's County, Md., said they are searching for a loose alligator in the county after video evidence of the reptile was captured by a resident. File Photo by David Tulis/UPI | License Photo
Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Wildlife officials in Maryland said they now are attempting to capture a loose alligator in the state after initial reports were considered to be unfounded.
Officials in St. Mary's County said an alligator was initially reported to be on the loose in the area in 2020, but the sighting was considered unfounded, and no efforts were launched to locate the reptile.
Stephen Walker, Director of the Department of Emergency Services for St. Mary's County, said efforts are now underway to locate the alligator after a resident captured what was described as video evidence of the animal's presence.
"There's a wildlife agent in the county that has taken it on [whom] we are just now starting to support," Walker told TheBayNet.com.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has been in contact with the county.
"DNR is not involved in the capture attempt, but has been in contact with local authorities, who are equipped to handle this as an animal control issue," spokesman Gregg Bortz said.
Officials did not offer an estimate of the alligator's size.
Walker said officials are not revealing the precise location of the alligator for public safety reasons. He said nearby residents would be notified.
Alligators are not native to Maryland and they are not legal to own privately. Officials said they are hoping to capture the alligator and relocate it to Florida.

Review: Shadow's Claim by Kresley Cole
November 28, 2012 by Mandi 8 Comments
Shadow's Claim by Kresley Cole (The Dacians: Realm of Blood and Mist #1)
Reviewed by Mandi
This book starts a spin-off series from Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series. The Dacians are briefly introduced to us in Lothaire, and since I love that series, I was eager to read this book.
The world building is quite confusing early on in this book but I'll set up the hero and heroine for you. Trehan Daciano is an immortal Vampire known as The Prince of Shadows. He lives in the Realm of Blood and Mist and works as an assassin keeping his realm a secret. He basically has no life, and only lives for duty. He fights with his cousins over being a contender for the crown. Since he is a Kresley Cole vampire, he hasn't had a boner since he reached his immortality hundreds of years ago. (I love that she tortures her vampires like this).
The heroine Bettina is a half demon half soceri. She was attacked by Vrkeners, her mortal enemies who stole her powers and tortured her beyond anything she had ever experienced. She fears them now, which makes her feel weak. Her BFF is a man named Caspion who is a man-ho, but she is in love with him. He treats her more like a sister which makes her sad. Her godparents want her protected so they invite anyone from the Lore to fight in a tournament to the death and the last one standing will wed Bettina. She isn't happy about this.
Trehan makes it to her realm to kill Caspion who knows where the Mist realm lies. When Trehan sees Bettina, his heart starts beating and he gets a massive woody. He decides to enter the tournament to win Bettina's hand in marriage. Caspion enters too. Let the games begin.
The first few chapters in this book are very heavy on world building and really drag this story down. I was confused by what happened to the heroine and what role Trehan was to play in all of this. But I continued to read and eventually everything falls into place. This is very much a Kresley Cole book, and by that I mean, Trehan is extremely possessive and caveman-like in his affection for Bettina. Once he is blooded, she is all he can think about. He gives up his family and his home for her. He punishes himself for not knowing she existed when she was hurt so bad by the Vrekners. He will basically do anything for her. I'm not sure how I feel about Trehan. I enjoy Kresley Cole's super alpha, possessive heroes. But at the same time I feel like I've read Trehan before. He was so predictable and felt almost recycled. I love Kresley Cole's voice, but I got a little bored with Trehan this time.
What I liked about Bettina is that she has fear. Many of Cole's immortals are so fearless and violent. Bettina can barely walk outside for fear of another attack. Trehan not only protects her but he gives her confidence. He pushes her into situations she feels she can't do, and of course if there is trouble, he does come calling. Bettina pushes him away a lot, as she thinks she has feelings for Caspion and just Trehan's intense nature is a lot for her to take. Because of that, we get really great sexual tension in this book.
Kresley Cole is also known for her snark and we get a little of that with Bettina's godparents Raum and Morgana and a phantom that follows Bettina around. I also love when Kresley Cole puts a tournament or games in her books and the outcome of the tournament to win Bettina's hand is a fun one.
This very much felt like an Immortal After Dark book, which is fine with me but like I said above, it is predictable. It's also heavy in the world building and had more of an old world tone to it. I liked it, but I could have liked it a lot more.

Hmmm. I'm torn now. I want to read but I don't want a rehash either.

I'm not even going to lie… I feel like a rock star because you mentioned my review!! :)
I agree, I LOVED that Bettina had anxiety and wasn't completely balls to the wall and just down for anything and everything!

I just finished this one last night, and It was one of my KC's all times favorite. To me it read just like a IAD book, not a new series, people who don
I don't know what just happened… let me just finish that… People that don't follow the IAD books may have a hard time with this "new series"… PS: I <3 Salem!
I have to say I was disappointed – thought this book was the weakest in her series. Just not a lot of dramatic tension in their relationship or the wider story I thought …
KT Grant says
This book has some of the best make out scenes. Rowr.

Travel Notebook: A Weekend in La Paz, Baja California Sur – Langley & Co.
Travel is a huge source of inspiration for me. Not only because it's a window into the way others live, but the colors, the landscape, the experiences and feelings can all be brought back to become part of your artistic inspiration & ideas.
It's also an excellent excuse to relax and have fun. We've been working on our house for the last eight months and the end is finally in sight, but we were more than ready to take a break from all that. So Jon and I decided to get away for a quick weekend. San Diego is an easy drive to a lot of fun places, but living so close to the border has another bonus: really affordable flights to destinations all over Mexico via CBX, the border crossing that makes flying from Tijuana airport a quick ten-minute stroll. A friend suggested La Paz, a little town on the Sea of Cortez just a couple hours' drive from Cabo on Baja. It looked like a slice of paradise with beautiful beaches and a walkable city center to explore.
I can report it is all that and more. I can't wait to go back for a second visit, hopefully for longer and with the kids. The town has a relaxed feeling about it- sleepy during the hot days but alive during the warm breezy nights when everyone comes out to stroll the Malecón, the promenade along the bay. The promenade is directly next to the water- some areas have a tiny stretch of beach with leafy umbrellas for shade and in other places the water laps at the walkway itself. Sunsets there are spectacular and not to be missed. Across the street are bars, restaurants and museums that get packed on the weekend, but it's not a touristy party vibe. There's many visitors, but also locals and lots of families with children.
But just in case those pictures aren't enough to tempt you onto a boat for the day, there are some gorgeous beaches just a 20-30 min bus ride or uber down the road. The waters at Balandra beach and Tecolote look like these and in Balandra they stay neck high as you make your way all the way out to the famous mushroom rock of La Paz. I didn't take my camera out there but trust me that it's worth a visit just to be in that incredible water- it's warm, too. Tecolote has beach chairs and food and you can stay there all day if you want.
La Paz has no shortage of hotels and airbnbs, and we stayed in the Hotel Catedral, named because it overlooks the cathedral in the center of town. It's a pretty, modern hotel with clean rooms, friendly staff and a great location just a few blocks from the Malecón. There's a rooftop pool with dreamy views to the surrounding mountains and it's a great option for catching the sunset. Breakfast is included in the reasonable price of a night's stay and it's no ordinary continental. We were only there for Saturday and Sunday breakfast, but they had fruit, granola, cereal, plus hot dishes including eggs with chorizo, beans, chilaquiles, empanadas, and a pastry bar. On Sunday they set up a grill on the outdoor patio with amazing tacos.
I would have loved to have another day or two to explore the town more…we passed through an area that looked fun for shopping very close to the hotel. And of course I had to stop for a few pictures of the local architecture.
Until next time, La Paz…I'm bringing back a little of your colors and spirit with me.

What riches she has uncovered about these remarkable men and women, and what they did to build the cornerstones and fabric of our community.
This informative book will leave a legacy for Ottawa of what these citizens have done to enrich and preserve, not only our city, but also the whole of humanity.
To Order: The print version of Capital Lives: Profiles of 32 Leading Ottawa Personalities is available from the author. Click here to order your copy online today.
These brief vignettes make compelling reading. Here are people who have played a part, large and small, in building the community and the nation. Taken together they provide a portrait of Ottawa that all of us who love this city will treasure.
Valerie Knowles provides the reader with insightful portrayals of former Ottawa citizens from many walks of life whose activities in the 19th and 20th centuries have shaped our community and our nation.
He had wealth, culture and a good education. Yet, despite all these assets Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey decided, in 1819, to exchange his comfortable home in cosmopolitan Georgian London for one in the wilderness of March Township, now part of the City of Ottawa. Why he opted for this exchange is on of those paradoxes of human nature that will probably never be fully explained.
The future landed gentleman and community leader was born on December 11, 1784 in Plymouth, England the son of William Pinhey and Mary Townley. Historian Roger Hall speculates that the name Pinhey is probably Portuguese and that possibly Pinhey was descended from merchants involved in the Anglo-Portuguese trade. In any event, by the time he was born, his family was well established in England and owned a sizeable estate in Devon.
Practically every summer before he rose to the top of Indian Affairs, Scott journeyed to isolated native settlements to inspect his charges. On one such trip, in 1906, he travelled by canoe as far north as James Bay to negotiate treaties with the Indians of northwestern Ontario.
The shy, wealthy matron was thrust onto the national stage on February 15, 1930 when Prime Minister Mackenzie King, an old family friend, appointed her Canada's first female senator. Her elevation to the upper chamber came almost four months after the judicial ruling that made her appointment possible: the landmark decision of the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council that women were "qualified persons" and therefore eligible to sit in the Canadian Senate. It was the direct outcome of a determined fight waged by Judge Emily Murphy and four other feminists from Alberta, who had petitioned the Supreme Court of Canada, and then the Privy Council of Great Britain, for a ruling on Section 24 of the British North America Act.

Arctic petroleum development as a challenge to societies: A comparative look at Norwegian, Greenlandic and US case sites.
About Who are we?
About the research project
Nordland Research Institute (NRI) Norway, Brown University (Brown), USA and The Ilisimatusarfik/ University of Greenland (UoG)
This project will investigate the increased need for energy as a major challenge to society, and therefore to politics, in our time, and the effects on local lives in communities in the Arctic.
This project will significantly increase our understanding of the complexities embedded in securing a viable future at the local level in the Arctic, by focussing on local, culturally based perceptions of petroleum development and climate change in shaping such security. This will be addressed through one overall research question:
In which ways can petroleum resources be understood as assets and limitations to reaching the goals of communities, industries and decision-makers in the High North for a viable future?
This main research question will be supported by the following sub-questions:
How do the drivers of change induced by petroleum development affect the possibilities for communities and individuals in terms of safeguarding a viable, meaningful existence for themselves and their communities (indigenous and non-indigenous) in the Arctic?
What other societal and environmental factors affect local perceptions of relevant knowledge and to what extent are they taken into account in policies concerned with petroleum development?
What are the local adaptive strategies that influence broadened and culturally embedded (ontological) security situation of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in the High North?
What factors/drivers explain the differences and similarities between peoples' perception of ontological security in communities studied in Norway, the United States and Greenland?
A mixed-method and multi-level approach in four work packages is designed to answer these research questions.

Tap Dancing may evoke visions of the Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, tappers of yesteryears and more recently of expert tappers such as Gregory Hines, but of late this form of dance has become a harbinger for fitness and good health.
This popular form of dance that uses special shoes to create percussive effects when struck rhythmically on the floor had its roots in the days of slavery when Africans were forbidden to use their traditional method of communicating using drums, and used their feet to convey their messages.
Tap dancing not only requires a lot of skill and grace, but now experts say that tap dancing will also make you fitter, no matter what your age.
The claim is that tap dancing can improve your sense of balance, cardiovascular fitness and strengthen the core muscles as well.
Since tap dancing is all about shifting of weight (from one to another foot and creating that typical staccato rhythm at the same time) it can greatly improve balance says Courtney Runft, an instructor at the American Tap Dance Center in New York whose students range from kids aged three and a half to seniors in their seventies.
As students progress even those who could not stand on one leg, proceed to balance on one leg and perform deft tap dancing maneuvers that involve standing on just one leg.
Not only does tap dancing strengthen the lower body, it is a great cardio workout, claims Runft.
The intensity of the tap dance workout can be varied as per one's requirement, age and fitness levels. Since tap dancing is moderate it is safe to do for seniors as well. Since it is also weight bearing activity, it gives benefits relating to strengthening the bones and the body's core as well.
In recent times, there has been a shift from boring and repetitive workouts that involve gyms or activities that fail to stir the imagination.
The accent has now shifted to creating enjoyable and innovative workouts that involve dance and other exciting ways to stay fit. Different dance forms such as Ballroom dancing, Salsa, Tango and other Latin dances have gained favor as a fun and sociable way to get fit.
Even seemingly risqué dances such as pole dancing has gained popularity as a sensual and fun way to enhance upper body strength and get a great overall workout without the boring sameness of a gym or aerobic class.

Prioritizing Sustainability in Cannabis Growth
BY TUCKER HARRIS
In late October, Lone Peak Cannabis Co. Owner Charlie Gaillard walks through rows of healthy cannabis plants at Collective Elevation's grow facility outside of Bozeman. He stops to gaze at the forming flower buds inside the large, sun-filled greenhouse.
Adam Arnold, co-owner of Collective Elevation, leads the way, explaining the process of overseeing their state-of-the-art facility and living soil growing processes over the roar of fans and the buzz of LED light fixtures, all hard at work perfectly maintaining the temperature, humidity and sunlight needed for his flowers to grow.
Collective Elevation is Montana's largest living soil cannabis grow facility and uses top-tier technology alongside classic and natural growing methods. LPC, Big Sky's local cannabis provider, partners with brands like Collective Elective because they believe in their mission, strategy and methods.
"The effects of cannabis grown in a sustainable, organic way is two-fold: better for the environment and better for the consumer, period," Gaillard says. "That's our goal: supply the consumer with the best products available and the rest will take care of itself."
LPC got its start back in 2010 as a medicinal cannabis company.
"I really looked at it as an adventure of coming to Montana, in addition to an exciting new venture of doing something I really love to do, which is grow marijuana," he says. "It was an opportunity I could not pass up."
Starting as a medical-only company is what prompted LPC to get into living soil and try to grow the plant in an all-natural environment. For Gaillard, sustainable growing practices are key.
Using living soil and sunlight means developing a com- plete bio-integration. Collective Elevation cultivates massive colonies of microbes, worms and beneficial insects along with cover crops like native clover, marigolds, onions and other herbs.
"The alternative, these bottle nutes that people use, it produces a fine product, but it's not as good as plants grown in living soil," he says. "The best medicine comes from the plant producing its compounds through a natural selective method."
Almost 14 years later, LPC, under the leadership of Gaillard, has expanded from the small ski town of Big Sky to three additional locations in Bozeman, Ennis and West Yellowstone.

Now, LPC's goal is to establish itself as a top cannabis company in the industry by carrying vendors whose products focus on organic and sustainable growing practices. Gaillard wants his consumers to have the absolute best selection of products all in one place, he says.
"We're still going to produce our brand of marijuana, but we're very much interested in carrying folks like Collective Elevation." Gaillard says. "We're constantly searching the marketplace to find companies that are focused on living soil and focused on growing the best plant you can find."
Today LPC has strong relation- ships with the top growers and sup- pliers of edibles in the state, carrying vendor products from: MT Kush, Collective Elevation, Sacred Sun, In the Trees, Silverleaf, Triggers Relief, Cold Smoke Organics, Groove Solventless, High Road Edibles, WANA, The Clear, Sinful Beverages, Huckleberry Farms and Dancing Goat Gardens.
Gaillard looks to continue to develop relationships with these vendors as well as personally seek out additional partners who are focused on the environment and producing the best possible product. He believes this selective partnership choice is one of the main factors that sets LPC apart from competition.
"It's our commitment to provide the consumer with a truly all-natural, organic product, from the flower grown in living soil to the edibles made with a full-spectrum oil," he says. "In my opinion, the effect the consumer gets is superior, more complex and an overall better feeling than any other products on the market."
Gaillard's adventure to Montana back in 2010 has enabled him to continue cultivating his passion in the cannabis industry. He respects the work others in the industry are doing to create top-of-the line products that he can share with his customers.
"LPC is now a company that has established itself as one of the go-to companies in the cannabis industry," he says. "We supply the best products from the top producers of organic products in the state."

A worker is an individual who works under a contract of service or for labour only, where the worker works directly with the employer (the principle). This means the individual performs part or all the work for the principal.
The worker in God's vineyard can be described as a person who has decided to set himself apart for the service of God and strives to know Him better and better in carrying out the will of God. Our position is that every born again child of God is a worker in God's vineyard.

Sagalassos or Agalassos (near modern Aglasun) was a suffragan bishopric of Antioch of Pisidia and appears as such in all notitiae. Its bishops are attested in documentary sources from 381 onward. It was situated on the frontier between Anatolikon and Kibyrraiotai (De Them., XIV, 37) on the side of the latter, but we classify it together with its metropolis. See Laurent, Corpus V/2, 437; Zgusta, 523; Phrygien und Pisidien, 368-69.

October 30, 2018 - Tuesday
A Trans Parent Letter to the AAP
There are 67,000 members of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), National Review points out, but it only took a few dozen to change an 88-year-old policy. Like a lot of professional associations, the AAP sold out to the liberal agenda a long time ago. But its latest push -- supporting dangerous treatments for kids confused about their gender -- is a step too far. And parents from across America are letting them know.
It used to be that medicine was guided by science, or, at the very least, common sense. Now, both have flown out the window in this national stampede to encourage gender-free living. Earlier this fall, the AAP became the latest organization to turn its back on basic biology and stacks of research that show how damaging the pursuit of transgenderism can be. In teenagers or kids in particular, the devastation is far-reaching. "It's hard not to think that we might be harming children," one member of the AAP told NRO anonymously. "But if we say something publicly we could get in trouble."
Thumbing its nose at the millions of people urging caution, the AAP changed its official policy on minors struggling with gender confusion. "Big news! The American Academy of Pediatrics published a policy statement in support of trans kids today and it is TRULY supportive!" one activist tweeted. But supportive how? Certainly not in their pursuit of a healthy, fulfilling future. Instead, AAP's leadership believes we should encourage a radical ideology with minors that its counterpart, American College of Pediatricians, calls "child abuse."
"According to the DSM-5, as many as 98 percent of gender confused boys and 88 percent of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty," Dr. Michelle Cretella of the ACP warns. "Puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous," she insists, and they're "associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to cardiac disease, high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke, diabetes, and cancer." What self-respecting medical association would green light a course of treatment with such real-world risks?
One that's determined to put politics above patients. And parents have had just about enough. In a letter to the AAP, 1,000 moms and dads are protesting the association's radical new stance. "Our own children have become obsessed with the notion that they need powerful puberty blockers and hormones and bodily surgeries to transition to the opposite sex," wrote the anonymous group of over 1,100 parents with trans-struggling children in a press release. "The American Academy of Pediatrics fully supports this. We do not."
In a statement, the parents expressed "serious concerns" about the new policy, which they believe will "continue, and possibly worsen, the harm brought to many children by the recent radical changes to treatment guidelines for transgender-identifying youth." They write: "Many parents and caregivers have been coerced into thinking these treatments are necessary." But, what about their rights as moms and dads to disagree? If agendas like the AAP aren't stopped, parents won't have the final say in their children's treatment.
Just last week, one of the world's premier genital reconstruction surgeons spoke publicly about his fears that these procedures are doing more harm than good. His office has been flooded with unhappy and "even suicidal" patients, who thought sex reassignment surgery would bring the happiness they'd been hoping for. It didn't. Now, he worries, what will happen if children are rushed into the same procedures?
"While the World Professional Association for Transgender Health guidelines currently state nobody under the age of 18 should undergo surgery, Dr. Djordjevic fears this age limit could soon be reduced to include minors. Were that to happen, he says, he would refuse to abide by the rules. 'I'm afraid what will happen five to 10 years later with this person,' he says. 'It is more than about surgery; it's an issue of human rights. I could not accept them as a patient as I'd be afraid what would happen to their mind.'" Already, the same National Post article points out, doctors are being investigating for treating children as young as 12 with hormones.
In the parents' letter to the AAP, the 1,100 signatories remind the association, "We need you and our children need you... We are members of a rapidly growing online community of over 1,100 parents of transgender-identifying youth who need your help. We have no unifying political affiliation. We empathize with mature transgender-identifying people who deserve respect." But, they insist, "We need to stop the harm to our children."

Recorded May 26, 2021 | On-Demand Webinar
After great anticipation, in April 2021 FDA issued the guidance, "Remote Interactive Evaluations of Drug Manufacturing and Bioresearch Monitoring Facilities During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency." This guidance describes FDA's process during the remainder of the COVID-19 public health emergency for conducting voluntary remote interactive evaluations at medical product manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding facilities; facilities covered under FDA's bioresearch monitoring program; and outsourcing facilities. In May 2021, FDA also released its "Resiliency Roadmap for FDA Inspectional Oversight," summarizing FDA's inspectional activities during COVID-19 and the agency's future inspection-related priorities. How will FDA determine whether a company is eligible for a remote interactive evaluation? How is a remote interactive evaluation different from an in-person inspection? What should facilities expect and how should they prepare? Speakers will address these issues and look to the future for how FDA could use virtual inspections beyond the pandemic to expedite reviews and approvals.

Beautiful and unspoiled, diverse and attractive, both modern and traditional, there's nothing quite like the Polish countryside. Despite the fact that currently the vast majority of Polish people live in the city, the countryside still remains a place where we can take a rest and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
One of the most beautiful, famous and visited Polish cities. The tourists from all around the world love Kraków because of its unique character, charm and mix of tradition and modernity. This year a special feast – The World Youth Day – will be held in Kraków. We have prepared a special offer for all those who want to meet the Pope Francis.
The capital of Poland is sometimes called the "Phoenix City" because, like this mythological bird, Warsaw also rose from the ashes. Destroyed during the Second World War, today Warsaw has a lot to offer: you can book one of our city tours, alternatively try the communism tour, admire the city from the sky and many more.
Beautiful monuments, the oldest Polish zoological garden, a lot of green areas, bridges and…dwarfs – you will find all this and much more in WrocLOVE. Our Wroclaw city tour will help you to explore the city.
Baltic Sea, amazing architecture, climatic shops with handmade amber jewellery, history going back a thousand years – here are the top reasons you should visit Gdańsk.
Polish natural environment is very diverse which is why choosing a the most interesting destination might be a difficult task.
In addition, about 30% of the country is covered by forest.
PIEROGI – polish dumplings made of unleavened dough and filled with sweet or savory fillings. YUMMY!
BIGOS – made of meat and sausage, mushrooms, onions, whole or puréed tomatoes and – the most important ingredient – sauerkraut (in polish: kapusta kiszona).
KOTLET SCHABOWY – breaded pork cutlet, a polish typical Sunday dish similar to Viennese schnitzel.
And for dessert: APPLE PIE, DONUTS, CHEESECAKE or ICE CREAMS!
Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the world's oldest business venture – it was opened in the 13th century!
Auschwitz Concentration Camp. The largest concentration camp in Europe has become a symbol of terror, extermination and martyrdom of millions of people.
Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. The largest European sanctuary from 17th century includes: park, Baroque Basilica, Bernardine Monastery and 42 different chapels. We highly recommend you to visit this place, especially before Easter or in August when the most important religious processions are held.
Look at the photos of the most picturesque castles and try to choose your favorite one. It's not easy, isn't it?
Polish customs can be a memorable event for the visitors from all over the world.
Drowning Marzanna – On March 21, according to the old tradition, children go to the nearest river or lake to drown a "Marzanna" – a doll symbolizing the bad, long winter.
"OCZEPINY" – the bride takes off her veil and throws it into a crowd of young women – those who catch it will be the next to marry.
"POPRAWINY" – the traditional polish wedding lasts 2 days! The second day is known as "poprawiny" – guests are invited for dinner and party.
Śmigus Dyngus – On Easter Monday everybody without any exception (boys, girls, adults) is sprayed with water.
Poland is definitely worth visiting. Check our multiday tours around Poland and contact us if you want to experience an unforgettable adventure!

The History of Mary Prince was the first narrative of a black woman to be published in English. There is no doubting its historical significance and the role it played in the abolition of the slave trade, but I'm afraid I don't think it is worth seeking out.
I can't remember where I heard about this book, but I remember receiving it through the post and being surprised at how thin it is. Mary Price's story takes up just 31 pages and the rest of this 113 page, £8.99 Penguin Classic is made up of supplemental information, much of which is repeated several times.
Mary Prince's story reads like a police statement. It is rushed, gives the briefest of details, and lacks any emotion. If you are studying slavery then this is an important document, but if you're looking for an entertaining read I suggest you look elsewhere.
419 is an intelligent thriller that investigates 419 Internet scams originating from Nigeria. It started off well, but lost its way towards the middle of the book. It felt disjointed and some of the plot twists didn't feel realistic. I also felt that the parts set in Nigeria were far more interesting than those set in Canada.
This book contained several interesting ideas, but if you are looking for a great book on 419 scams I think I Do Not Come To You By Chance by Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani is head and shoulders above Will Ferguson's.
Cheryl Strayed was just 26 when her mother died of cancer. Her marriage collapsed and her life fell apart. She began taking drugs and she struggled to find happiness. In an effort to put her life back on track she decided to trek 1,100 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail; from the Mojave Desert to Washington State.
Cheryl was an infuriating narrator. As I read her story I swung from deep sympathy (for the loss of her mother), to anger and frustration (at her selfishness, affairs and drug taking). She was naive and stupid, but I admired her determination. In the end the great thing about this book is how inspirational it is – if she can turn her life around in this way, anyone can.
It was an entertaining read and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for some hope and inspiration.
Wild was kind of buzzing around in my periphery…some hated it and some loved it, so I stayed away from it until I was inspired or maybe forced to read it for a book club. I do think those that hated it mainly had issues with HER, her behavior and such, but you bring up a good point. This was one misguided, obnoxious woman and if she could do it, anyone could.
I'd been looking forward to seeing what you had to say about 419 – despite my love of CanLit I wasn't impressed with last year's Giller list so never got around to this one, not least because I felt like I'd already read similar stories before (both Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Pettina Gappah have written short stories about scammers and of course Nwaubani's novel). Love the UK cover, but I think I've been right to give it a miss.
PS: love the sound of 'The Skinning Tree' in your currently reading sidebar – not heard of that one before.
Hmm… I actually think this year's list isn't bad at all. I'm just reading my fifth and final book from the shortlist (and 11th from the longlist) and I've enjoyed all of them, though with some reservations. I think a lot of the criticism of the shortlist isn't so much of the books that are ON it, as of the books that aren't (ie: The Orenda and The Luminaries). I don't think they're the five best Canadian books I've read this year (I'd say the Governor General's Award shortlist is stronger and more varied) but all are decent books worth a read. From the longlist I just have The Orenda left to read (and October 1970 but that didn't appeal and I don't have a copy) and will hopefully get to that later this week.
From last year I have to say I really liked 'Inside', but you didn't miss anything by not reading Russell Wangersky's short story collection.
You're probably right. I haven't heard much about the actual books on the shortlist, only whinging about what didn't make it. I'll keep an eye out for reviews and see if any of them sound like my sort of thing.
I'm not finding this years shortlist disappointing, just surprising. There are others on the long list I was much more a fan of (The Orenda, Emancipation Day.) I think the fact that the big 3 prizes this year are so varied shows the talent that is out there. So don't write books off too quick if you think they might not grab you!
Shan, I haven't heard much about 'Emancipation Day'. After your recommendation I'll keep an eye out for it! …and don't worry, I've learnt that many of the best books don't sound that interesting on paper.
I'd second Shan's recommendation of 'Emancipation Day', Jackie – an utterly compelling story that is even more remarkable for being true. Of those on the shortlist I have a feeling you may enjoy Dan Vyleta's, but read his 'The Quiet Twin' first ('The Crooked Maid' can be read alone, but is a sequel) – both are available in the UK and have strong plots. 'The Quiet Twin' is claustrophobically tense, being set almost entirely within a block of flats in Vienna at the outbreak of WWII.
Just a shame that "Emancipation Day' isn't available in the UK yet I'll see if my library has a copy of 'The Quiet Twin'.
Out of this grouping I've only read Wild and agree with you on the admiration and the frustration. In the end I really enjoyed the book, particularly Strayed's writing, but I was the only one in my book club who liked it or found anything redeeming in it! All of them felt that Strayed was a bit stupid (admittedly she was) and couldn't get past the "whining." Ha! Glad you liked it better than they did.
Trish, I'm surprised more people didn't enjoy it as I agree that the writing was very good. I'd have thought most people would be able to identify with some aspects of her personality (if only the grief?) I wish I'd been there for your book club discussion – I bet it was very entertaining!
Jenny, Mary Prince was my first slave narrative so it is good to know there are other, more compelling ones out there. I'll try to get hold of one soon.
Great summaries. I'm ashamed I've never even heard of Mary Prince. Interesting how these documents have historical value, but don't provide a lot of insight. Sounds like you are really in two minds about the central character of Wild. Do you think the author intended for her to by sympathetic throughout?
Eric, 'Wild' is an autobiography so I'm guessing she wanted herself to come across well. She was realisitic and honest in her descriptions of her behaviour so I have to admire that, but I think it is safe to say I'd never become friends with her!
I wasn't a massive fan of 419 last year, I thought it was a good read but was surprised to see it win the Giller given the other CanLit I had read that year. I agree with you that the parts in Nigeria were stronger than the parts in Canada. I think it would have been better if it had been bookended by the Canadian parts.
Shame, I was looking forward to 419. I have just finished reading "I do Not Come To You by Chance" and althought I enjoyed it, I had hoped to get something more out of it, so it was very disappointing to to hear that 419 wasn't up to scratch. I spent quite a few years in Nigeria and for those who care to know, I can tell you that "Chance" is not an exaggeration for effect. That is how things are/ work… corrupt, crude and ostentatious beyond belief. If 419 has nothing more to add, I might have to give it a pass.
Ifi, If you have personal experience of life in Nigeria then I suspect you might find '419' even more disappointing. I agree that 'Chance' wasn't perfect, but it was far more entertaining that '419'. I think you're right to pass on it.

The closing days of the great Overland Stage line, inaugurated by Ben Holladay, were in many respects, the most prosperous and interesting in its history. The line was purchased from him by Wells, Fargo & Co. in 1867 under the impression that it was, on account of the mail subsidy, a paying concern. But, the new purchasers soon found a different state of affairs existing, and instead of dividends, the assessments that loomed up soon effected their stock, and within a year, it was quoted in the New York stock boards at 37 cents on a par value of 100. The subsidy paid by the government of $3,000,000 a year was more than absorbed by the heavy expenses of operating the line, and added to this, was the fact that the Pacific railroads were being pushed to completion, and soon, the rolling stock of the stage company would be valueless.
The history of its final windup will not be repeated here, but the fact was well known to the pioneers, that had it not been for some shrewd manipulation whereby Wells, Fargo & Co.. secured a twenty years lease over the lines of the Central Pacific Railroad the company would have passed out of existence. As was stated at the opening of this sketch the last days of the overland were its greatest.
Travel increased from various causes, and Harry Mountfort, the Sacramento agent, had the pleasure of seeing many way bills with a full passenger list booked in San Francisco and started from Sacramento by him for the long trip to Omaha. The McLane management of the line was liberal in the extreme; high salaries were the rule, and the most accomplished agents and skillful drivers were employed, and $300 a month as a salary secured crack whips whose names are as familiar to the pioneers as are the statesmen of the present day. It is not the intention to here make personal mention of the many popular names associated with the memories of those prosperous days of the great Overland Stage times, as this introduction is only preliminary to the fact of the great popularity of the line, which also enjoyed the confidence of the public to an extent that gave it the well deserved reputation of old reliability. In illustration of this the writer recalls an incident that occurred during the fall of 1868, when the rush to White Pine began, and caused rival lines to enter the field from Austin eastward. For some time Wells, Fargo & Co. made no effort to secure the trade and continued running on the old overland road that ran north of the district where the travel was headed for. But as it increased the company diverted from the old route and ran direct to the mecca.
That was attracting the surplus population of the Pacific coast. This was an irresistible result, for the stampede to White Pine was considered the greatest silver excitement known in modern times while it lasted, and the trade was well worth enjoying.
The road from Austin led by the present town of Eureka and across the Diamond Mountains, and along this part of it, the grade was not then completed. The stages were always loaded heavily on top with express freight, and it was usual for passengers to walk a great part of the way up Diamond Mountain, for the loads were too heavy for the teams. As this was the custom with the rival lines on the same road, no one ever objected, for people were eager to make speed. On one occasion however, Wells, Fargo & Co.'s coach contained a grouty old passenger who refused to get out and walk on the ride up the mountain. The driver, told him all right, but if he would ride he must take the chances, and proceeded slowly up the hill. The other passengers were all ahead climbing the hill and creating an appetite for the coming breakfast, when a crash was heard.
A group of old-timers were talking over the late robbery, when one of them related how he had been a detective, before the Pinkertons had established a reputation on this coast, and how he had lead a case to a successful conclusion without any knowledge of what he was doing or what it was leading to until years afterward. The story, as told in his own words and duly authenticated, was as follows: In the town of Hamilton, in 1869, Wells, Fargo & Co. moved their office from the old building adjoining Red Frank Wheeler's to the new brick built by J.R. Withington at a cost of $60,000. In moving their safes, the agent, George Crandall, concluded to have the combinations changed, and employed an expert to do the work. It was done in the old office at night and the safe was moved the following day. When opened, a sack containing $3,500, belonging to John Gray, the former agent of the company, was found to be missing.
So was the expert who had changed the combination. All in the office were thunderstruck, as they had stood by and witnessed the entire operation, and how the sack could have been taken was a mystery. But, suspicion pointed too strongly to that one person and his absence was corroborative proof. Three stage and fast freight lines were running from there to Elko, and at once, the wires were set to clicking with instructions to arrest the party if found. He was caught there on the arrival of the stage the next morning, but he didn't have the money and simply denied it and declared his innocence. However, he was taken back, examined and committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. He proved to be a celebrated cracksman, but the most puzzling part of the matter was that he had no baggage, no confederates, exhibited no uneasiness, and as the old saying goes, he simply "sawed wood and said nothing." The money could not be found.
