Ambitious Peterborough entrepreneur open his first clothing store.
Clothing store Snappbacks will open in Westgate, Peterborough.

A Peterborough entrepreneur is opening his first clothing shop in the city.
Snappbacks, which has a range of own design hats and t-shorts, has moved into Westgate and will open to customers on Saturday.
The store is located opposite Lloyds bank and the Beales department store.
It has created three jobs - two are part-time - and is also working with more than 30 contractors.
Owner Steve Stinders, who is from Peterborough, says he has created a range of high-quality and affordable products for men, women and children, with prices ranging from £10 to £24.99.
He said: "For years I have wanted to start my own fashion brand.
"I have always had a passion for creativity and design. I was always dissatisfied with the styles and prices of caps available and found myself designing my own."
Mr Stinders said he hoped the success of the store would lead to more shops being opened across the UK supported by expansion online, and which will also create some jobs.
He said: "Being from Peterborough, I have a great attachment to the area.
"I'm passionate about using local creatives, local models, local professionals and local suppliers.
"I will soon be giving the opportunity to local artists and students to be rewarded for seeing their product designs turned into reality too."
He added: "I plan to expand the range of unique designs, as well as introducing more clothing, accessories and other products."
Store manager Zakk Walton said: "The reaction to our products so far has been so exciting."

Snappbacks will also be home to TrainerGem - a cleaning service to remove dirt and stains from shoes and trainers.


Joan is a long time GL member and a singer songwriter to whom the lyrics are very important whether to make a statement on the environment, to examine how we treat one another or to express her perceptions. Joan's influences include Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Snow as well as Carol King and Gordon Lightfoot. She has several CD's to her credit and has played in many venues in and outside of Rochester.
Another long time Golden Link member, Bob has travelled nationally playing and singing as a professional musician. Performing from California to New York, Bob has played in numerous venues including Caffè Lena where he played again last year and The Ark, a well-known Coffee House in Ann Arbor, where he was invited to play, also last year, at a 50th Anniversary Reunion concert with such artists as Ray Bierl, Ed Trickett and the Chenille Sisters.
My first meeting with Bob occurred when, learning of my appreciation for Leon Redbone's music from a mutual acquaintance, he invited me to a concert and proceeded to take me to Leon's dressing room and introducing me to, it turned out, his personal friend. Bob's influences include Mayne Smith, The Carters, and Utah Phillips and his musical tastes run to the traditional and older repertoire of American folk music although he is not limited to it. His easy going style and clear enjoyment of playing promise an entertaining performance. Joining Bob for this concert will be Marshall Smith, David Russell, and Mark Weeg.
Best known for his group The Backsliders, Jim's performances generally highlight songs of commercial county music's classic era, the 1950's and 1960's. While mostly country, he also performs folk, pop and blues, a genre that is more recently called Americana; the older , purer or rootsy music born in the US. Influenced by such artists as Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Merle Haggard, he also learned from Ray Price, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. Jim's set will entertain with some well-known but perhaps not so often heard music that is sure to please.
We hope to see you there and remember, based on our most recent member survey, we are testing a recommendation to end the evening a bit earlier and thus, we will have only 3 acts. Do not fear however, goodies will still be served!


If you think that your only debt relief option is to file for bankruptcy, you may be pleasantly surprised to know that you have a lot of options when it comes to how you file. Let's take a look at your options and which one may be best for you.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to have your debt fully discharged. This means that you no longer owe your creditors and can walk away freely. However, you will have to deal with the bankruptcy showing up on your credit report for 10 years.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the most common form of bankruptcy for those who have too much money to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or already have over the past seven years. Your debt is reorganized and you pay your creditors back over 60 months.
Not all debt can be discharged in Chapter 7. Therefore, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may need to be filed to reorganize remaining debt. Student loan, tax debt and other types of secured debt cannot be completely discharged in bankruptcy court.
Business owners may wish to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This enables them to renegotiate contracts and reorganize business debt to help the company run more efficiently.
It may be possible to have only certain debt discharged. If you don't want to ruin your credit due to a medical debt, you can have that debt reorganized and keep your other accounts in good standing.
Lenders cannot foreclose on you when you are in bankruptcy proceedings. Therefore, it could be a good way to delay a foreclosure by months or years.
Creditors cannot contact you while you are in bankruptcy. Instead, they must contact your lawyers or your bankruptcy trustee with any questions that they may have.
Filing for bankruptcy could be used to buy yourself more time to come to an alternate payment plan with creditors. If they see that they might get nothing, they will be more than happy to take what you are offering them.
If you owe back taxes, filing for bankruptcy may give you more time to get the money together or negotiate a new payment plan before any of your property is taken away.
Don't want to file for bankruptcy at all? You can ask your creditors to accept an alternate payment plan on your own. You are more likely to be successful if you can show that you truly cannot pay your debt but want to pay as much as you can right now.
When filing for bankruptcy, you have many options to clear or reorganize your debt. By working with a bankruptcy attorney, it may be possible to reorganize your debt simply by using bankruptcy as a means to buy time until you can pay your debt as it is currently structured.


Starting your own business – sounds so romantic, doesn't it? Well it is and it isn't. In this article we'll take a look at the steps you need to take when starting and setting up your own business.
First things first. You need to be really, really sure that you want to start the business in the first place and that you're doing it for the right reasons. Starting a business is tough and not everyone is cut out for it. Check out this article that will give you the third degree before taking this grand dream any further.
This is definitely something that we agree with here at Generate. It's the process, not necessarily the result, of planning that is so valuable especially when you're in the early days of your new business. You can read all about writing business plans in our eBook here. If you prefer to start lean and want a quick and easy business plan, you could do worse than our one-page template which you can grab here and there are instructions on how to complete it here.
Now that you've got your plans all sorted out it's time to take action and get things set up! What follows is an overview of the steps you'll need to take to set everything up. This is aimed at those starting a company, but if you're heading down the sole trader route it's mostly the same, you'll just skip step 3.
Appoint a tax accountant and a lawyer. Ask around for referrals and make sure to get ones that are familiar with your industry. Feel free to interview a few different options so you can be sure you're going to work well with your chosen advisers.
Make sure your chosen business name is available. You don't want to spend time and money only to find out 6 months in that you've breached somebody's trademark. Best bet is to perform searches with ASIC, the ABR as well as the trademarks register.
Setup your company. You can do this on the cheap via one of the various online services, Veromo comes to mind, or you could ask your accountant or lawyer to help you out. They'll charge a little more, but you'll get advice around who should be the owners (shareholders) and directors and they'll help you with the rest of the steps here. Money spent upfront is rarely wasted.
Get registered with the ATO for your company Tax File Number (TFN), Australian Business Number (ABN) as well as GST if you're going to be turning over more than $75,000 and PAYGW if you're going to be employing anyone (which if you have a company you'll have at least one employee – yourself!).
Open a company bank account. Best bet is to get two – one for transactions and one for savings. It's a wise move to move a small amount of every invoice deposited into your account (say 30%) into the savings account so that when it comes time to pay the BAS or tax, you've got some money ready to go. Try and get low fees and avoid credit cards where possible.
Get insured. Speak with an insurance broker that understands small business and can help you get all the cover you need. You'll likely need to consider workers compensation, public liability, professional indemnity, motor vehicle and more. Get the right advice upfront and don't risk being caught out.
Setup your accounting system. You can find more info about this here. Best choose a cloud-based platform and one that your accountant is familiar with. You may choose to do the bookkeeping yourself, but it's usually wisest to outsource this to a good bookkeeper. Ask your accountant for a referral. If you choose to DIY get yourself some training before getting started.
Create your invoice template in the software. This is quite straightforward and you'll find instructions in your chosen software.
Get a services agreement drafted by your lawyer (or find a suitable template online). A services agreement outlines what services you'll provide for your customers and what happens if they don't pay on time. You can find more information here.
With all of this done you should be off to the races! It's time to start marketing your new business, crafting your business processes, hiring staff, delivering product to clients and learning to live without any spare time for the forseeable future!
If you want more information on starting your own business you can grab our eBook here, but if you want to talk to a real person about your plans why not drop us a line? We work with businesses at all stages of their life and we love helping entrepreneurs realise their business dreams.

The effect of the crisis in scholarly communication on university libraries in South Africa.
Ruth Hoskins phd thesis final.pdf (4.103Mb)
Hoskins, Ruth Geraldine Melonie.
The study examined the effect the crisis in scholarly communication had on university libraries in South Africa. The crisis in scholarly communication or the 'serials' crisis as it is better known to librarians has affected many academic libraries worldwide. The monopoly commercial publishers have on the academic serial/journal market has resulted in high priced subscriptions and many libraries have simply cancelled subscriptions or limited the purchase of monographs (books) to pay for ongoing journal subscriptions. A study population consisting of 17 university libraries in South Africa was surveyed by means of an online questionnaire to establish how university libraries in South Africa were affected by the crisis in scholarly communication. The research questions underpinning the study examined the cause of the crisis together with its characteristics, the factors that influenced journal cancellations, the effects of open access on journal cancellations, institutional support for open access repositories and the funding of university library budgets. A total of 12 university libraries (representing 70.6%) responded. Telephonic interviews with the Deputy Vice-Chancellors, Directors or Deans of Research at selected universities were conducted to gather supplementary data as well as verifying some points that emanated from some of the responses to the questionnaire. Results were analysed in terms of frequency of responses and graphically displayed in the form of pie charts and tables. Interpretation of the results reveals South African university libraries, like most academic and research libraries world wide, have been adversely affected by the crisis in scholarly communication. On an annual basis university librarians are faced with hard choices in terms of deciding which journals to cancel. In terms of South Africa, open access initiatives are in the early stages of development and as university librarians have not embraced such initiatives, the benefits are not being realised. Thus university libraries in South Africa are dependent on paid-for journal subscriptions. Maintaining these subscriptions will be more and more difficult as a result of the high cost of such subscriptions and the fluctuating rand. To mitigate some of these difficulties experienced university librarians should make a concerted effort to facilitate access to local research by way of institutional repositories and free content available via open access initiatives. Recommendations for university libraries and librarians are made in light of the results of the survey and the literature review. These recommendations relate to the library budget, librarians knowledge of their library collections, librarians administering and maintaining institutional repositories and facilitating access to open access content.

Elizabeth Hartman, the brilliant mind behind Oh Fransson! recently discovered this gem at her local Goodwill. I know. I'm DYING! Pink! Vintage! Sewing Machine! !!!! No disrespect to Bluebird, my own vintage turquoise machine, but I would trade her in a heart beat for this beauty. I mean look at her! She's PINK!! And came with a whole pile of feet!!! (I better throw in a few more exclamation points for good measure.) !!! !! !
She paid just $40 for the machine, the sewing cabinet and a drawer full of feet and manuals and accessories. I think that is what Thrifting Heaven is going to be like. You can read the whole post here, or check out her flickr set to see even more glorious pictures.
Creamie and I have been having a great week so far. I'll post some pictures soon, but today I'm going to be cutting and sewing like mad. I've got a (self imposed) deadline!
I saw that on her blog and wondered how some people get so lucky. Isn't it a wonderful machine?

Many European Doctors Believe Homosexuality Is A Disease, EU Research Finds
'A reflection of shocking treatment and inequality'.

A report from an EU agency says a 'large proportion' of European medics believe homosexuality to be a disease

The revelation that many European doctors continue to believe homosexuality is a disease has been slammed as "shocking" by LGBT charities.
A report from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found a "large proportion" of healthcare professionals in some EU countries identify being gay as "a pathological problem".
The report said Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia were among the EU countries where such views were held.
'Professionally speaking: challenges to achieving equality for LGBT people' was published in March
EUFRA
The report, 'Professionally speaking: challenges to achieving equality for LGBT people', also found that the idea that homosexuality is a disease was still present in medical training.
Responding to the findings, Kim Sanders of LGBT charity Stonewall, told The Huffington Post UK: "This research is a reflection of the shocking treatment and inequality that lesbian, gay, bi and trans people face in some European countries.
"Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia underpin these beliefs and they leave the health of LGBT people at severe risk. Not only do LGBT people face abuse and discrimination, they effectively have access to essential healthcare provision blocked because of prejudice."
Report's key findings
In most countries, respondents say there's a lack of objective information about sexual orientation and gender identity in school curricula.
A number of respondents consider homosexual orientation and trans identity to be 'foreign' and not in line with the prevailing notion of 'national identity'.
A lack of awareness, information, data, resources and capacity in respect of the rights of LGBT persons is reinforced by those persons' "relative invisibility".
There is a need for systematic capacity building, training and awareness raising on the rights and needs of LGBT persons in the areas of education, healthcare and law enforcement.
EU law and policy are drivers supporting efforts to promote LGBT equality, although in several countries respondents claim that policies are not always effectively implemented on the ground.
There can be differences between urban and rural areas in implementing LGBT equality policies.
Sanders continued: "Our own study found 10% of healthcare professionals had heard colleagues express the belief that same-sex attraction could be cured.
"The lack of education, as well as the discriminatory beliefs highlighted in this report and in our research, show how much work there is left for us to do before everyone is treated equally, both in the UK and internationally."
Matthew Hodson of gay men's health charity GMFA, told HuffPost UK: "It's both shocking and sad that in the 21 century we are still having to argue that homosexuality is not a disease.
"Gay men and lesbians are not disordered and we are not inferior. Our sexuality is not something that needs to be cured."
The report's authors interviewed 1,039 public officials and professionals in 19 EU Member States.
Among the other findings were prevailing negative social attitudes and stereotypes which, the report said, present a major barrier to tackling discrimination and hate crime against LGBT persons.
These affect the actions of public officials, it added.

Chicago pregnancy center opens next door to Planned Parenthood
By Katie Franklin | April 24, 2019 , 03:54pm
(Pregnancy Help News) When Planned Parenthood opened a new abortion facility in Flossmoor, Illinois, just south of Chicago last January, Kris Cortes and her husband Dennis knew they needed to act.
So together with a small band of pro-life friends, they held a meeting in the Cortes' living room and quickly formed a grassroots group that would come to be known as Southland Coalition for Life. They adopted three goals: to educate the community about the sanctity of life; to initiate a movement of prayer within homes, churches and at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic; and to open a pregnancy help center to make life-affirming pregnancy options and support available to women in the community.
The last goal, Cortes knew, would be the greatest gift of all. That became all the more clear when they met with Aid for Women — a Chicago-based pregnancy help organization with four center locations and two maternity homes located in the Chicago metropolitan area. The two groups quickly established a partnership and secured a location right next door to the Planned Parenthood facility.
Fundraising and construction took place throughout 2018 with several hurdles overcome along the way, thanks to the support of many church groups, organizations, families and individuals. Operation Nehemiah, a faith-based group that assists with disaster relief and rebuilding initiatives for non-profits, provided the much-needed renovations, even working through some of the Chicago area's worst days of winter. The Knights of Columbus national and local councils also provided their support, including a new ultrasound machine through their ultrasound initiative program.
READ: Pro-life pregnancy centers are fighting to help trafficking victims
"It was just amazing how so many people of good will really rolled up their sleeves and made this happen," said Susan Barrett, executive director of Aid for Women. "Just starting off that way was just a really, really neat thing."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on February 24, just a little more than a year after Planned Parenthood opened. According to Cortes, about 150 people turned out for the event. The center was filled with tradesmen, businessmen, Democrats, Republicans, and people from many different ethnic groups and religious denominations.
"In an age of increasing divisiveness, it was encouraging to see a wide spectrum of our business, community and religious leaders coming together to show their support—all united to affirm the value of life," Cortes said.
Pro-life Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski and former Illinois state representative and Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives attended the opening event, as well.
"When Planned Parenthood went up here (in Flossmoor), we said we are going to be right there, to challenge every day to challenge the culture of death with the culture of life," said Rep. Lipinski at the grand opening.
Ives echoed his thoughts.
"When they opened up this Planned Parenthood, our response was not to lie down," she said. "Our response wasn't to be complacent or lukewarm. Our response was to create a haven of hope for women. And that is such a beautiful response. When women come through that door, we don't judge, when women come through that door, we don't condemn. When women come here, we give."
To Cortes, the diversity in representation at the event was remarkable to see—especially in what she calls "a liberal bastion in the south suburbs of Chicago."
"Looking around the room, people kept commenting, 'This just doesn't happen in America anymore,'" she said. "This is what America is — when we rally around a unified cause, all of those different ways that people are trying to box you in and categorize you, they just go away."
The Abortion Capital of the Midwest
That hopeful outlook is particularly important in Illinois, where the state's governor promised this January to pursue a more aggressive pro-abortion policy than even New York….
Last month, an estimated 4,000 pro-lifers "filled the State Capitol to capacity" to protest the legislation. For as extreme as the proposed abortion bills are, the state has actually been on a pro-abortion track for years, funneling taxpayer funding to abortions via Medicaid and even forcing pro-life pregnancy centers to promote abortion.
"What we're seeing is that because of easy access to abortion in Illinois and free abortion in Illinois, it's becoming this kind of place where all of these abortion clinics are moving in because it's good for business for them, but it's not good for us in our local community," said Barrett. "That's why Aid for Women decided to get involved. It wasn't enough just to say how unfortunate things are. We needed to take a leap of faith and expand our presence into a community being targeted by Planned Parenthood."
Cortes says that the state's already permissive abortion laws have made Illinois a destination to have abortions. Indeed, the state abortion report shows there has been an uptick in abortions performed on out-of-state visitors in recent years. In 2017, nearly 40,000 abortions were recorded in the state of Illinois. Over 5,500 of them were on out-of-state residents.
One reason, Cortes said, is because of the 2017 law which forces Illinois taxpayers to fund abortions through Medicaid. Because of the state's lenient residency requirements for Medicaid recipients, women can come to Illinois, establish temporary residence, have an abortion, and go home.
"Illinois is like the Google pin on a map because we are becoming like the abortion capital of the Midwest," Cortes said.
She added that Planned Parenthood's recent invasion of Flossmoor is directly connected to targeting a Medicaid-eligible audience.
"Planned Parenthood, with their big-budget research arm, knew that's where they wanted to expand," she said, noting that the community has a strong minority base.
READ: Despite Supreme Court ruling, states continue assault on pregnancy centers
Planned Parenthood, which has historically targeted minority populations, reported $1.6 billion in revenue last year, with over half a billion coming from taxpayers.
Cortes says that the opening of the new Aid for Women center represents a major triumph in the "David and Goliath" tale between the local pro-life community and Planned Parenthood.
"It's a beautiful testament of rallying around a unified vision that, you know, we wanted to give women in the community a true choice — one of love and tangible support so that they can continue to pursue their dreams and their goals and also have the option of choosing a better life for their child and a better life for their family," Cortes said.
"A Safe Refuge for Women"
According to Barrett, there are dozens of abortion clinics in the Chicago area, and Aid for Women's pregnancy help centers are on the front line of the abortion battle, serving approximately 4,000 women each year. Since 1978, Aid for Women has provided a safe refuge from abortion providers for women who are facing unexpected pregnancies.
All of Aid for Women's services are offered at no charge and include: a 24-hour helpline, pregnancy tests and ultrasound exams, one-on-one support, Abortion Pill Reversal, an Earn-While-You-Learn program, parents-to-be support groups, and medical and community referrals.
Barrett said that the decision to expand Aid for Women's services and provide housing for pregnant women and their children was based on knowing that many women choose abortion because they lack adequate housing or will be otherwise homeless if they choose life. Aid for Women opened their first maternity home, Heather's House, in 2011 and their second home, Monica's House, in 2015 as a transitional home for new mothers and their children as they move toward independence.
Rayanna is just one of the thousands of women Aid for Women has helped.
"Going to Aid for Women was the best decision of my life," she said at last month's grand opening. "They gave me so much. Got me through a very difficult time, they provided my child and me a home, and made me feel like I had hope again. That's why I'm where I am today—I am a mother, and I did it. Coming from feeling alone in an unexpected pregnancy, to doing everything for myself, having our own home, having a good job, having a car, and doing it on my own."…

Statement from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies Supporting the Introduction of the Recovering America's Wildlife Act
The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies strongly supports the introduction of the Recovering America's Wildlife Act (H.R.4647). This bipartisan legislation would redirect $1.3 billion in existing revenue from the development of energy and mineral resources on federal lands and waters be dedicated to the Wildlife Conservation Restoration Program to conserve a full array of fish and wildlife. Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) announced the introduction of this bipartisan bill today in Washington D.C.
"Our nation's fish and wildlife are among its most valuable resources, along with clean air, water, healthy forests and agricultural lands that support all of us," stated Virgil Moore, President of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and Director of Idaho Fish and Game. "Today we find ourselves at a critical crossroads and impending fish and wildlife challenge that could alter our children's and grandchildren's opportunities to enjoy these resources. By investing in our State Wildlife Action Plans, which serves as a blueprint for restoring the most sensitive and imperiled species within our state's borders, we will be ensuring future generations can enjoy our rich wildlife heritage."
"This is a very important and creative legislative initiative to enhance wildlife ecosystems across our nation through constructive partnerships in states," stated Rep. Fortenberry.
"It has been proven over the decades that incredible gains in species conservation have been made with dedicated sources of funding," Rep. Dingell said. "The Recovering America's Wildlife Act builds off the successes of previous efforts including Pittman-Robertson, Dingell-Johnson, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund by giving state fish and wildlife agencies additional resources they need to proactively manage at-risk wildlife species. As we work to realize the full promise of these cornerstone programs, I am proud to introduce this legislation to further that commitment with my Republican colleague from Nebraska, Mr. Fortenberry. We both love the outdoors and know we must work hard to protect our natural resources. Together we believe we can get something done that will help bring conservation into the 21st Century and complement the other successful programs that are currently in place."
"Each of us, as citizens of this country, has the responsibility to ensure diverse fish and wildlife resources are managed for future generations. Fish and wildlife need healthy habitats to thrive—enhancing our lives and providing many other benefits," stated Johnny Morris, Founder and CEO of Bass Pro Shops. "State fish and wildlife agencies have a solid track record of accomplishing remarkable recovery and restoration successes since the early 1900s. However, enhanced funding is now needed to address today's fish and wildlife habitat management challenges."
"America's hunters, anglers, recreational shooters, and boaters have been the primary funders of state-based conservation efforts to this day," said Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation President Jeff Crane. "This recommendation simply directs funding for conservation from other sectors that use our natural resources."
"We thank Representatives Fortenberry and Dingell for introducing the historic Recovering America's Wildlife Act," said Collin O'Mara, President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. "This bill will help thousands of wildlife species through proactive, collaborative, on-the-ground efforts. The approach is unique because it calls for early action to save struggling wildlife, rather than waiting until species are on the brink of extinction and need expensive 'emergency room' measures to recover. When this bill becomes law, we will increase wildlife populations, strengthen America's economy, and reduce the need for regulatory measures."
"Hunters, anglers, recreational shooters and motorized boaters, through fees and licenses, have been the backbone of funding the conservation of America's fish and wildlife," said Executive Director Ron Regan. "This funding model can no longer keep up with the needs of the full array of fish and wildlife in this country. The Recovering America's Wildlife Act provides a modern solution to an age old problem."
These critical efforts are supported by the Alliance for America's Fish & Wildlife, whose purpose is to create a 21st-century funding model for critically needed conservation of our nation's most precious natural resources, our fish and wildlife. This effort was built upon the strong partnership created by the Blue Ribbon Panel on Sustaining America's Diverse Fish & Wildlife Resources, consisting of members representing the outdoor recreation, retail and manufacturing sector, the energy and automotive industries, private landowners, educational institutions, conservation organizations, sportsmen's groups and state and federal fish and wildlife agencies.

UK co-operators in largest show of political solidarity 'in decades' at demonstration in support of Rojava
Members of co-ops including Calverts, Radical Routes, Birmingham Bike Foundry and Cornerstone Housing Co-operative join Solidarity Economy Association's call to attend London demonstration in solidarity with Rojava, Northeastern Syria and its co-operative economy.
The largest show of political solidarity by UK co-operators took place in London on Sunday 27 January when a 'co-op bloc' was formed as part of a demonstration in support of the Rojava Revolution and Kurdish population of Northern Syria against attacks by the Turkish state.
In response to a call for 'Global Days of Action' by the Internationalist Commune of Rojava, the Solidarity Economy Association organised the 'co-operative bloc' as part of the demonstration. It was attended by co-operators from all over the UK, including members of: Radical Routes, Calverts design and print co-operative, Birmingham Bike Foundry, Federici Housing Co-operative, Cornerstone Housing Co-operative, Footprint Workers' Co-operative, Persons Unknown Housing Co-operative, Shoal Collective, The Woodcraft Folk, Grow Heathrow, Principle Six, Alternative Choices, Platform Six Co-op Development, Co-operative Business Consultants, and Rootstock.
Northeastern Syria's (commonly known as Rojava) co-operative economy started growing as a result of the bottom-up democratic system being developed as part of the progressive Rojava Revolution that was declared in 2012. There are now hundreds of co-ops operating across Northeastern Syria, a growing number of which are women-only co-ops.
Jo Taylor, project coordinator for the Solidarity Economy Association's Co-operation in Mesopotamia project, said: "Rojava is now under threat of a full-scale attack and invasion from Turkey, which would mean an all-out war. Turkey's president Erdoğan has threatened to crush this progressive revolution, invade and occupy Northeastern Syria. There are calls coming from all related democratic structures in the region, and internationally from the diaspora and solidarity groups, for people all over the world to rise up in defence of Rojava and its values of direct democracy, gender liberation and ecology."
Cath, a co-operator from Leeds who attended the demonstration, said: "While the UK co-op movement has in recent years shown masses of financial solidarity with fellow co-operators around the world struck by natural disasters, this is the first time in decades that anyone we've spoken to can remember a show of political solidarity, in particular a co-operative bloc on a political demonstration (though we'd be keen to hear of other examples!)."

A University of Notre Dame student group and four women have filed suit against the school and the Trump administration in the latest foray in the battle over insurance coverage for contraceptives.
The suit filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana says that under the Affordable Care Act, the university may not require students and staff to share costs for contraceptive coverage, a policy the university announced in February, reversing an earlier statement.
The suit also alleges Notre Dame unlawfully signed a settlement agreement with the Trump administration that allowed it to amend the school policy to require an out-of-pocket payment for some birth control and not cover others, such as the copper IUD and emergency contraceptives, at all.

"By charging people co-pays and deductibles they are violating the law. They have no right to do that under the ACA," said Michelle Banker, senior counsel at the National Women's Law Center, which is representing Irish 4 Reproductive Health, a student group that is one of the plaintiffs. "By interfering with people's ability to use birth control, they're interfering with people's rights to make decisions about their bodies."
Notre Dame officials referred questions about the school's policy to a letter that Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins wrote in February announcing the reversal.
In the letter, Jenkins notes that the university's health plans cover more than 17,000 people with diverse backgrounds.
"We must be unwavering in our fidelity to our Catholic mission at Notre Dame, while we recognize that among the values in our Catholic tradition is a respect for other religious traditions and the conscientious decisions of members of our community," he writes. "A tension exists between establishing policies in accord with Catholic teaching and respecting the religious traditions and decisions of the many members of our community."
In the months before that note, Notre Dame flip-flopped on how to handle contraceptive coverage in its health plans.
Last October the school said that in 2018 it would no longer provide birth control for students and employees. The following week, however, it reversed that stance in the face of protests but not before some lawsuits against the university were filed.
Once the university announced plans to cover contraceptives, the plaintiffs in those suits asked to have them voluntarily dismissed. In early February, the day after courts dismissed the two cases, Notre Dame changed its stance, saying it would not cover all forms of contraception and would require a co-pay for those it covers.
In a letter to the Notre Dame community announcing these changes, Jenkins references a settlement agreement between the Trump administration and the university, signed in October, that allowed the university to switch its policy.
Tuesday's lawsuit alleges that both parties ensured the settlement remained secret and violates the right of third parties, students and employees, who did not take part in negotiations and were not told about them. The suit also names the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S Treasury and the heads of those three entities.
"It's surely fishy," said Banker. "What they have done is they have entered into a settlement agreement with the Trump administration and they claim that this agreement gives them carte blanche to deny birth control coverage."
Notre Dame officials disputed that account, denying that they made a deal to deny their 17,000 employees, students and others on their insurance coverage for contraceptives.
In an emailed statement Paul Browne, vice president for public affairs and communications at the school, said: "The assertions on the face of it are maliciously and preposterously false."
The school explains that its decisions about which contraceptives to cover under the plan were made in consultation with moral theologians and medical experts.
Contraceptive methods that aim to prevent implantation, such as the copper IUD, would not be covered at all while those that prevent ovulation or fertilization, such as the birth control pill or vaginal rings, would carry the same co-pay costs as other drugs and services in the plan.
Jenkins' February letter closed with a discussion of why the university would continue to at least partially provide contraceptives if the October settlement allowed them not to do so, an exemption that the school had sought long sought in court.
"Having been required to provide access to contraceptives for several years, we now take account of the fact that some of those enrolled in our health plans—an increasingly diverse group—have come to rely on access to contraceptives through enrollment in our plans," the letter reads. "While some may criticize the approach above as overly restrictive and others as not restrictive enough, it is our best effort to respect the many considerations at stake in a manner consistent with Catholic principles."

'Horrifying' figures reveal nearly twice as many young children in North Somerset have had teeth extractions compared to the national average.
The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) said the 'distressing' experience of having teeth pulled out is '90 per cent avoidable'.
The NHS' findings show children under-10 in the area underwent the procedure in hospitals 230 times between April 2017 and March 2018.
Of those, 215 were to remove rotted teeth – where decay could have been prevented.
This gives an overall rate of 792 procedures per 100,000 population – the national average is 425 per the same amount.
The Houston Group has practices in Nailsea, Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare.
Public Health England has also claimed most children consume more than double the daily recommended sugar intake - which can have a 'serious impact' on oral health.
However, principal of The Houston Group David Houston, who owns practices in Clevedon, Nailsea and Weston, said: "I believe the tooth decay crisis is not quite so evident in North Somerset.
Dr Houston has been in the profession since 1985 and has jointly owned the main Weston practice with his wife Ceri since 1990.
He continued: "Carbonated drinks are contributing significantly to tooth decay, but I think people are becoming more aware of this and the issue is getting better on the whole.
"The answer is to keep educating people, as tooth decay is entirely preventable.

Monstrous activity
Parth Charan 5 min read
The problem with motorcycles (apart from the fact that they're addictive) is that you're at the mercy of the elements when you're out riding. On a nice, cool and dry day, blatting around on a motorcycle is just about the perfect pastime, but when the heat and humidity are cranked right up, you sometimes begin to wonder if your time may have been better spent elsewhere, preferably an elsewhere stocked with chilled liquids and lithe supermodels. I was beginning to have feelings along these lines out in the countryside near Chiang Mai, Thailand, where the temperature must have been at least 37 degrees, with a humidity level of 'Deluge', but given that alternative options were non-existent, I did the next best thing, which was to drop a gear and whack open my Monster 821's throttle. With a great big 'braaaap!' from its exhaust, the bike catapulted itself down the road, which wasn't quite as exhilarating as it sounds, because I had to almost immediately brake in order to avoid riding straight up the exhaust of the 821 in front – for this I blame the limitations of convoy-riding. Still, methinks one doth complain too much, and everything I've mentioned so far falls squarely under the 'First World Problems' category – the Monster 821 is a delightful machine, and I'd be on a plane to Chiang Mai in a flash if I was offered the opportunity to ride it there again.
Ducati wouldn't be half the company it is today if not for the Monster, which has been its top-selling model for close to two decades. Il Mostro, as the Italians call it, has seen extensive changes made to it over the years, but what has not changed is its USP – it's still a structurally simple, good looking, fun-to-ride motorcycle. We've had experience of the Monster 795 and 796 in India, during Ducati's earlier foray into the country, and they were both very enjoyable; the 821, however, is the best yet, and it will replace the other two models and become the entry-level Monster, until such time as the Monster 1200 decides to drop by here.
Given that the original Monster was a parts-bin creation, with elements from other Ducatis going into it, it isn't surprising to learn that the 821 carries on in the same vein; it's essentially a Monster 1200 with an engine from the Hypermotard model and a few structural changes. Gone is the 1200's single-sided swingarm, for example, and its TFT instrumentation screen; the 821 makes do with a double-sided unit and an LCD screen. The iconic trellis frame is very much in existence, attached directly to the bike's cylinder heads, and in comparison to the outgoing Monster 796, the 821 has a 30mm longer wheelbase, a longer and wider seat and a handlebar that's 40mm taller and closer to the rider, for a more upright stance (I can vouch for the bike's increased comfort levels). As for the engine, it has received a few tweaks, including a bigger airbox and a slight bump up in power to 112 bhp, from the Hypermotard's 110 bhp. The 796's dual underseat exhausts make way for a 2x1x2 exhaust unit that looks very similar to the one on the Diavel, and a slipper clutch is also present, to smooth out gear changes (the Hypermotard was a bit of a lurching mess, in this regard). Visually, the Monster is still a lively looking machine, with its head-down stance giving it a sense of real aggression; you'll get a lot of attention on it, suffice to say.
The V-twin engine has gained in refinement, and although it will never worry a triple or inline-four engine in this department, it's still an improvement over the 796. In typical V-twin fashion, there's lots of usable torque right from the get go, and you don't have to rev the engine into the stratosphere in order to make rapid progress; this is especially useful in city riding conditions, where the lower end of the rev range comes into play. You have three engine modes to choose from – Urban, Touring and Sport – and each alters the engine's responsiveness appropriately; in fact, Urban mode cuts peak power to 75 bhp, and it actually works very well. Sport is, of course, the mode to be in if you can at all help it, because it's where the Monster is able to give vent to its basest emotions, transforming into a fast, loud and thoroughly enjoyable motorcycle. You can also program the ABS and traction control according to your needs, but the drawback is that it takes a while to figure out all the settings on the instrument panel (like I said, just leave the damn thing in sport and let it rip). Throttle response throughout is crisp and linear and the gearbox is much slicker than the 796, apart from the odd false neutral while shifting from 5th to 6th; the brakes are superb, both in their bite and the feel they transmit.
The Monster's suspension (adjustable at the rear for spring preload) is tuned towards the softer side of the scale, given that the bike is aimed at riders who are starting out in motorcycling. In practice, this means a pliant and quite plush quality of ride, especially in urban conditions, and a reassuring sense of balance and stability in most situations. Straight line ability is rock solid, and it's only when you really hurl the bike really hard into corners that it bounces around a little bit, off imperfections on the road's surface. Otherwise, the Monster is eager to please, feeling easy during turn-in and light on its side when you're fully leaned over. All told, the Monster 821 is a very welcome addition to the Ducati lineup, possibly providing better value than the full-bore Monster 1200. It's the sort of bike that will entertain seasoned riders and novices alike, and is a significant improvement in every way over the 796. When it's launched here, expect a price-tag of Rs 9.3 lakh, ex-showroom; for that money, you'll have a motorcycle that you'll want to ride every day, regardless of how hot and humid it is out there – after all, there's nothing like going faster to keep you cool.

09:47 ET Coin Cloud and Spike Lee Call Out Unequal Financial Systems in New "The Currency of Currency" Ad Coin Cloud, the largest and fastest-growing digital currency machine (DCM) operator in the world, will today introduce a national ad campaign and…
"The Currency of Currency" is a raw and honest snapshot of the history of money and the inequalities inherent in legacy U.S. financial systems. From institutions that intentionally exclude communities of color to wealth gaps that threaten the futures of millions of Americans, the ad shines a spotlight on how traditional currency needs another look, as well as the opportunity digital currency provides.
Spike Lee's masterful storytelling and imagery for Coin Cloud calls for a fresh way to think about money — one that is inclusive, modern and accessible to all.
"Coin Cloud is on the cusp — the cutting edge — of what affects people of color when it comes to finances and access to building wealth," Spike Lee explained. "Digital currency is viable for not just people of color, but anybody who has been historically excluded from traditional financial systems."
"We went into this campaign on a mission to spark important dialogue and almost instantly knew that Spike Lee was the perfect person to help us bring it to life," said Amondo Redmond, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Coin Cloud. "His deep connection with communities of color, plus his track record of contextualizing issues of equality, make him an ideal partner for our goal of making digital currency accessible to all."
Filmed in New York and produced by 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, the spot features cameos by actress Mj Rodriguez, American drag queen & reality TV personality Shangela, singer-songwriter Teyana Taylor and actor-activist Kendrick Sampson.
"For me, this campaign is as much a prophecy as it is a look at where we've been," added Redmond. "Beyond generating awareness, my vision is that this campaign not only sparks important dialogue, but introduces marginalized communities to an innovative, new and inclusive way to take control of and grow their wealth."
Coin Cloud's multimillion-dollar media campaign will run nationally across cable TV channels including Adult Swim and Comedy Central. It will also appear on YouTube and additional OTT and digital platforms, such as Roku and Reddit. The company partnered with Campbell Ewald, which provided creative and media services.
Founded in 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Coin Cloud is on a mission to make digital currency accessible to all people regardless of background or socioeconomic status. Digital currencies, like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, present major opportunities for people to protect their wealth while investing in the technology of the future. Coin Cloud taps into pop culture to tell dynamic and educational stories around financial security with the understanding that bringing economic empowerment to all communities starts with relevancy.

Traditional ceramics and basketry are still manufactured and belong to the finest handicrafts of the region. The National Museum remained surprisingly untouched during the civil war in 1994.threafter, Lunch and later continue to our destination arriving late for camp set up.
Day 2: Chimpanzee Tracking and water fall visit
Take an early morning breakfast then with your packed lunch we enter the park for our days activity of chimps tracking. Two species of chimpanzee occur in Africa. There is the Bonobo and the Common Chimpanzee Pan troglodytes (often shortened to Chimpanzee, and sometimes referred to as the Robust Chimpanzee). The largest remaining populations occur in central Africa (Gabon, DR Congo and Cameroon). About only 400 individuals, the population in Rwanda is an endangered one. However; it should be mentioned that it is not guaranteed to see the chimps as they are unpredictable and can move long distances in one day. After our short trek we return for relaxation before our afternoon nature walk visiting Kamiranzovu waterfall. we return i the late afternoon to our camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Canopy Walk and depart for Kigali
Today we go for the canopy walk which sets 50 meters above the ground with a 150-meter walkway and is the first of its kind in East Africa and third on the continent after South Africa and Ghana. It allows visitors to see the forest from above the trees and be at eye level with birds and monkeys that inhabit the upper storeys of the forest. Return for lunch, later close camp and depart for Kigali.

Greetings for a 'Happy Easter' with a lovely old antique postcard, depicting colorful spring flowers in a pot from shell of egg. The egg is an ancient symbol of rebirth connected to the spring, when the nature returns to a new life. The spring flowers, the new leaves, birds, chickens, lambs or other newborn animals are also symbols of Easter. The word 'Easter' comes from the name of Estre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess who was linked with the spring, fertility and the beginning of the new life.

Review – Trine 2 | PC
Trine 2 is here and Zoya, Pontius and Amadeus are back for a new adventure through wild relic realms in the world. The world is in danger again the Trine requires their help to set the world back on a path of peace before real danger comes and brings harm. With a flash of light and a bit of mystical travel they're placed into the start of their next epic quest.
Trine 2 brings players back out of retirement, while many of them have gotten on to their own personal lives again they're suddenly disrupted when the Trine returns with a new quest to save the world. While that's often enough for most players to jump into an adventure, there are more details uncovered while playing along. A tale of two sisters and a lost kingdom become the cornerstone of the story, players must progress, treasure hunt and read up to understand the full details. In the event that a few items aren't found, the level end sequences tend to tie the general story up before jumping again. The poems are left for players to get a snippet of the tale itself before the big level closing and hidden paintings help illustrate not only the art in Trine 2 but details around monsters, characters or how wonderful the place looked before the downfall.
Normally the story is the core part of a game like Trine 2, in this case it's important but the game itself plays like silk and challenges players endlessly. Trine 2 enables players to swap while playing through the story, it also rewards those players with special perks for taking up the challenge of wrapping up a chapter as a single character, without leaning on the other abilities of your team and suffering through the immediate shortcomings of just having 1 person. A bypass to this is using online to complete those chapters, having a Range / Mage and Knight on the same screen does prove helpful.
Trine 2 thrives on creativity to pass levels and gain experience, you can pass the game with just the bare minimum but it will challenge you to do so. The most reward comes from gathering experience and balancing or maxing out your characters as you go along. Unfortunately even with a dedicated effort my balances were just terrible at some points and I missed a few orbs to secure all the perks needed. As an example of this problem, with Zoya I found myself shorting her so often on upgrades after getting frozen arrow unlocked. There are other critical components but it was easier to build up conjuration as it came into use so often to reach high spots in single-player.
Magic is slightly questionable in Trine, I can understand the allowance for it though, if you're using Amadeus you can only move the objects you're not on top of. This means if you stack two planks or boxes you're stuck right? No, it means you have to float the bottom box while standing on the upper box and use a careful hand so you do not break the spell engaged. It's a tricky situation but it works to get you past frustrating zones or into secret areas without a partner.
There aren't many words that can really describe how Trine 2 looks, it's absolutely stunning to play through. It uses DX10 and DX11 features to make the game shine and glow with a mystical softness, for those with the ability to run it the FXAA and SSAA gives the cleanest presentation I've seen in a game for some time without actually bringing the system to a crawl. The plants, the atmosphere and characters just come alive and allow the story book quality of the plot to seep through and grab the player with an even greater hold. If the art here doesn't grab your attention throughout the game I really don't know what to say, in a world of grab 30% saturation shooters this shines like a beacon of how to make use of all that technology.
You can get a feel for the glow and the atmosphere that I can't even begin to describe in the shots below.
The soundtrack has a celtic charm to it with long instrumentals that carry throughout a chapter or even a zone. The breakup in the repetition comes with faster fight songs or dramatic music faded in when faced with a challenge and it happens often enough to give a sense of variety as it sucks players in. If there's a complaint to the soundtrack I can't exactly find it, it suits the game levels perfectly and allows lighthearted discussion to go forward while playing with friends without feeling like something is going to leap out at every new screen.
The only thing I could ask for is a bit more discussion between the characters, you have 3 people with completely different backgrounds running around, you think they would have more to say while fighting and wandering through such insanity. How is it you can you pass through a giant forest with huge mushrooms that bounce 20 feet up and solve insane puzzles and really just go ho-hum through the sequence? It wouldn't be a request to fill the game with strictly dialogue but they almost come off as stone in some areas of the game and that's always a shame when the rest of it shines so bright.
Trine 2 online is an experience, get some strangers, get some friends and have an adventure even if you've beaten the game already. There are enough rules and experiences to pick from that make it fun no matter what. On top of that, you can play the role of guide when people get stuck on puzzles instead of having the entire team rage quit and leave you to campaign the thing on your own. The only issue with online that could be noticed was from lag or ping times, in spike events the game would get very glitchy, this happened often when moving portals or using the wizard to connect pipes. The game can sort itself out but some cases are less forgiving especially when it comes to clipping errors ruining some mechanics.
Bugs aside, the enjoyment is great in Trine 2 online mode and players can have a laugh at how experience orbs drive some of the worst decisions a person can make during an online game. The absurd solutions and borderline cheating to bypass puzzles will keep gamers entertained for some time.
Every game has bugs, Trine 2 only has a few major instances. In the play-through it was clear that clipping was a factor online, getting portals locked together and having no way to pull it apart solo is a terrible thing and leaves the player with that save stuck with the issue unless they restart the chapter. The other bug came later in the game with a spawn issue, when dying the characters would spawn under the level in a strange black cave, there were no perks for being in this area and the only way to escape was to reload at the nearest checkpoint again. Issues like the spawning are rare, the clipping instances seem present anytime the lag sends an online game into oblivion.
Trine 2 is $14.99 and I have no idea why it's so low after playing it, if you're an adventure gamer looking for fun solo or with friends this is a must for your library. The theme is a relaxing departure from the norm of gaming, the audio is perfectly tailored to the game and executed with care. Having a side scrolling adventure game that challenges the mind to any level is a great thing, Trine 2 manages to do it just enough with variety and it cuts itself off before it becomes a repetitious grind session. Trine 2 focuses on what makes gaming fun, the experience and not just the combat or the magic and it's a welcome change for those who do experience it. FrozenByte nailed the game again for fans and newcomers while bringing it at an affordable price for everyone to do a double take at.
Overall: 9/10

Words & Reflections
SELKIRK RANGE
Age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in another dress, and as the evening twilight fades away, the sky is filled with stars invisible by day.
SELKIRK RANGE is a singer songwriter project based in Edmonton, Canada. The project focusses on making original music with talented guest musicians and other songwriters.
The project is led by Gordon Gow who is both a songwriter and performer, who has just completed work on the debut album with local producer Everett LaRoi (Manraygun, Goldtop).
The Roots of Selkirk Range stretch back to the late 1980s, when Gordon left home in Calgary and travelled to Vancouver to pursue a career in the music industry as a songwriter, audio engineer, and producer. A backpacking trip through Europe in the early 1990s led him into a new career direction and eventually a PhD in Communication Studies. After establishing himself as a successful academic first at the London School of Economics and then the University of Alberta, Gordon was drawn back to songwriting, inspired and encouraged by his wife and young son.
"Writing silly kids songs for my son and an anniversary tribute for my wife really turned me back on to music in a way that I hadn't experienced for a long time", says Gordon. With renewed energy and determination, he enrolled in a songwriting course with the Berklee College of Music, became active with the Songwriters Association of Canada, and directed his efforts to compose nearly 50 songs during a two year stretch of writing and home demo recording. "I had written songs for years but I really learned a lot during that period of intense effort," he reflects, noting that "it is inspiring to realize how much we can still grow creatively, even after when we enter that mid life point in adult life, when it is so easy to sidestep new personal challenges."
It was in summer 2015 when he approached Edmonton-based producer Everett LaRoi (Manraygun, Goldtop, Idyl Tea) to produce an album of 7 songs. "We are both about the same age, with families, and well established in our careers, so we decided we would do something fun but also use the opportunity to take my songs to a new level musically. Everett's been amazing to work with and he brought a lot of talent to this record, both with his own musical contributions and that of a number of terrific guest performers." Gordon's 11-year old son also makes an appearance on the record, "I really wanted to include Davis on the record. He's a talented young drummer, and we found a couple of tracks where he could play percussion parts. I means a lot to be able to share this experience with him."
The sound of Selkirk Range has been shaped by that collaboration between Gow and LaRoi who both bring to it very different yet complimentary musical influences. The result is a cross between folk, roots rock, country, and Americana genres, combined into unique electro-acoustic arrangements with honest lyrics offered up in Gow's restrained baritone vocals.
The songs will be of interest to listeners who appreciate artists like Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Petty, Townes Van Zandt, Glen Phillips, The Jayhawks, Bry Webb, Daniel Lanois, the Avett Brothers, and Sam Outlaw.

Pólkówka – nieistniejąca rzeka odwadniająca niegdyś warszawski Żoliborz. Swój bieg rozpoczynała w okolicy al. Wojska Polskiego, dalej płynęła północno-zachodnią częścią placu Wilsona, a następnie spływała do doliny Wisły (w okolicy ul. Bohomolca).

W XVII wieku spływała do mokradeł pod Marymontem. W XVIII wieku do łachy wiślanej (poniżej Marymontu). Komisja Brukowa porządkując cieki zdecydowała o połączeniu jej kanałem z Drną. Spływały nią zanieczyszczone wody Drny, które były odprowadzane poza tereny zamieszkane.

Why don't people have a phobia of cars?
How often do you come across this?
This aeroplane is crashing. There's no doubt about it. As I look out of the window, I can see snow, trees, both far closer than they ought to be.
We seem to be descending parallel to a chair lift because our pilot is, apparently, attempting a wheels-up emergency landing on a ski slope. Although my knuckles tighten on the armrest and I brace for the impact, I'm surprisingly relaxed about this.
And then I wake up, as confused as hell. The aeroplane's whirr is still constant and we're still cruising at 38,000 reassuring feet. A few minutes later, I doze off again and – wouldn't you know it? – we're sinking again, inescapably, unavoidably earthbound... until the airliner becomes an absurdly agile train, skipping between wooden stepping stones where the tracks have run out, because that's dreams for you.
Why does the mind do that? Why does my unconscious self decide it's going to throw a situation into my head so unlikely that the chances of it happening might as well be nil, yet for rather more likely situations like, say, crashing a car – something so likely that I've even done it – it doesn't.
I live on a road that is so fast and long and dangerous that barely a month goes by without an accident on it. Afterwards, unless it's taken away quickly under a tarpaulin, a car will sit on the verge for a few days, 'Police Aware' sticker in the window, usually on its wheels and usually having ploughed through some mud, perhaps a road sign or, one time, the house I live in. And yet I never fear driving down my road.
And even though I quite like flying, I'll be more apprehensive about a turbulent landing than I am about, say, driving in snow, despite planes tending not to fall off of runways and ample evidence of cars falling off of snowy roads.
We are all way, way more likely to have a car shunt than an aeroplane shunt, but who has a phobia of Ford Mondeos? In the UK alone, 1700 people die every year on the road. Globally, that number is 1.25m, making the car one of the world's most prolific killers.
But nobody died in a jet airliner accident last year. Not a single person in something like 40m flights. In 2017, you were statistically as likely to die from being fired from a cannon into the sun, or murdered by one of The Flumps (Pootle has a killer's eyes), as you were in an airliner. A fear of flying, then – even an apprehension – is as baffling as the fact that nobody has a Teasmade any more.
Or is it? Part of an aversion to flying is, I think, entirely rational: the consequences of a breakdown or knocking into an oncoming object are generally more serious from 30,000ft than 00,000ft.
But the rest of it is absurd: assuming the hassle and journey time were the same either way, I'd choose to drive somewhere myself than be flown there, even given the prevailing statistics, because when I'm in a car, I'm in control. That's it. That's the rationale: I'm in charge. And that's bonkers, isn't it? In 100 years' time, when road deaths are, hopefully, as rare as airline deaths, maybe that position will sound as stupid as it almost certainly is. But today, would you, honestly, pick otherwise?
Simple - If a car's engine fails it doesn't plummet to the ground and explode in a fireball killing everyong.
If a plane's engine fails it can use a backup engine, or glide to a nearby airfield.
.....is the illusion that all drivers have, irrespective of their own ability level. Drivers all believe they are good!
Also of course, if something goes wrong with the car you can usually coast to a halt in the side of the road....something which usually results in an earthwards plummet in an aircraft.
I used to travel internationally a lot with a previous job (very un-glamarous, and dull unlike the perception), and once had an emergency declared whilst over the Alps....that was the only time I have felt vulnerable in an aircraft.....out of control, huge mountains below, relying totally on a mixture of luck and a capable faceless Captain. One way or another this plane had to get back on the ground!
The evacuation down the slide was a thrill though!
There's still the chance that somebody else (who also thought they were in control) could come barrelling in from nowhere to test most of your airbags for you.
Increasing numbers of sheeple dislike cars and drive around on those sheds on wheels, err, SUVs.
SUV drivers just want an appliance and don't really care, it isn't a phobia as much as not a particular liking of.
It's like buying a vacuum cleaner, the chunky dyson. Just an appliance.
There is a huge amount over literature documenting how useless individuals are at risk assessment. The book 'Freakonomics' is one of the most entertaining. In the case of cars, our desire for control and occasional fun overwhelms any awareness we may have of safety stats.
Personally, I'd be more than happy for an autonomous car to do the commute and retain the option to drive myself when the traffic thins.
Regarding planes, they are safe and incredibly efficient at covering vast distances but in general being a passenger is a pretty unpleasant experience. Driving can be fun, but then I bet being a pilot can be fun in the right plane or glider.

Colbie Caillat will kick off the Orange County Fair's Toyota Summer Concert Series on July 12 at the Pacific Amphitheatre.
When Colbie Caillat takes the stage Friday at the OC Fair, the person who jump-started her career may be in the audience.
Well, why not? Caillat has no idea who that first Myspace supporter was, but he or she could be anywhere.
In 2005, the Malibu native started an account on the social-media page and, with a friend's help, posted a handful of recordings on it. Soon, the clicks began — dozens, then hundreds, then thousands, then millions, then a deal with Universal Republic Records, chart success and a pair of Grammys.
To say that Caillat, who was barely past high school age and working at a tanning salon when her tunes went online, didn't expect that kind of success would be an understatement.
"I had no idea," the singer-songwriter said by phone Wednesday. "I didn't even do it. It was my friend who started the [Myspace] page for me, so it was a huge shock to me and to my family when I started getting hundreds of thousands of followers, people adding my songs to their page and sending my songs to their friends."
Since that initial burst of fame, Caillat has released four studio albums — most recently the holiday-themed "Christmas in the Sand," which came out last year — and has been a regular on the fair circuit. In late June, she played the San Diego County Fair, and Friday's gig will mark her first appearance at Orange County's annual event.
Dan Gaines, the fair's entertainment director, said he was encouraged so far by advance ticket sales.
"We're 10 or 11% ahead of any July 5 we've ever had," he said. "I think it's going to be a great year."
Something else will be different this summer at the concert series: The $13.8-million renovation at the Pacific Amphitheatre, which removed the berm seating area, will result in tighter confines. The 8,500 fixed seats remain, but the amphitheater no longer offers the grassy space that it used in the past for overflow crowds.
"I think what anyone will notice who's going in there is that the venue feels much more intimate," Gaines said. "It feels like a small venue now."
Intimate or not, Caillat is ready to take on another fair audience. She's spoken to the media in the past about her chronic stage fright, and she admitted Wednesday that she still battles it. Still, an event as big as Costa Mesa's offers a chance to win over converts.
"The only thing is, sometimes I'm not sure if everyone's a fan of mine," Caillat said. "Not everyone could be paying attention or listening to the music, which is distracting. But it's good because you can gain new fans and listeners, people who have never heard of you before."
And when they get home, Myspace is just a click away.
