MORRIS PEARL | 10/28/2018, 11:27 p.m.
Despite our country's immense wealth, poverty has been a longstanding challenge to far too many communities, especially immigrant communities. This inequality has persisted for generations, simply because citizenship opens the door to uncountable opportunities, and immigration policy has frequently been racially and economically charged.
Instead of policies to ease the path to citizenship for all people regardless of means and background, the current administration is trying to make things even worse for the already less fortunate.
The recent proposed regulation to make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens if they or a member of their household uses or is likely to use CHIP, food stamps, or other benefits threatens the most economically disadvantaged among us.
It would force millions of lawful permanent residents to choose between food or healthcare and denial of status, which would ultimately lead to deportation.
By targeting poor, documented – legal! – immigrants, this administration is going against Donald Trump's campaign promise of only going after criminals and undocumented immigrants.
No matter what spin Trump and his White House try to put on it, we should all be alarmed, and not just because he lied.
Rather, all Americans – regardless of their socioeconomic background – should be able to agree that poverty is not a crime. Making poverty a deportable offense is not only counter to our values, but also ignorant of our country's history.
This country was founded by people who were fleeing persecution and poverty. Those are the people who made our nation what it is today, or at least what it was prior to the last election.
We cannot simply decide that, because our ancestors made it here in time, immigrants should now have to meet some arbitrary wealth or income standard. Doing so would not only be unfair, but also economically irresponsible.
Researchers have found that more immigration equals more economic growth and vice versa. This economic growth benefits us all, and cutting it off would be devastating to many American communities.
The American economy may technically be growing, but in the last few weeks reports have come out proving wage growth is effectively being stifled by inflation. The Republican tax cuts passed last December have benefited the wealthy almost exclusively, and student loan debt could cause the next recession.
Do we really want to further compromise an economy already teetering on the brink of disaster?
Instead of arbitrarily targeting poor immigrants, we need an immigration policy that works for future and current Americans, regardless of their country of origin or net worth. We should not allow Trump's widely unpopular campaign promise of ending illegal immigration to shift into an even more unpopular attack on all legal immigrants.
Finally, but perhaps most importantly, we cannot only welcome immigrants when it is convenient, or when they are highly skilled or wealthy. People like Trump and Stephen Miller wouldn't be here had their great-grandfathers been under the same scrutiny.
Whether it be through lopsided tax cuts that benefit the wealthy or recent attacks on documented immigrants, this White House has proven itself to be an ally of the rich and enemy of the poor.
Right now, it's documented immigrants on the chopping block. Next could be the very programs being used to target these immigrants. If they're coming for immigrants that rely on Medicaid right now, it's a short step towards taking on citizens who rely on Medicaid.
This November, we should all go to the polls to make clear that poverty is not a crime, regardless of one's citizenship status.

Ramaphosa draws the line on Eskom
Energy / 12 December 2019, 09:38am / Siphelele Dludla
PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa briefs the media on the outcome of his meeting yesterday with Eskom's board and management. Ramaphosa said Eskom has assured him that there will be no load shedding from December 17 to January 13. Jairus Mmutle GCIS
JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday drew a line in the sand on Eskom, instructing its executives and senior managers to cancel all leave until they have produced a clear recovery plan to stabilise electricity shortages that plunged the economy into a deep crisis this week.
Ramaphosa assured the nation that there would be no load shedding between next Tuesday and mid-January, following his marathon meeting with the struggling utility's top brass.
He said Eskom presented him with an emergency plan to deal with power cuts during the period.
"All executives must remain in place, and all key managers must remain in place to make sure we do not have load shedding," Ramaphosa said.
"We felt we need to have an emergency recovery plan that is going to make sure we get rid of load shedding, and management has given us an assurance they are trying to stabilise the system and get more of the megawatts that we lost to be restored.
"They have given us an assurance that from December 17 right up to January 13 we should not be in a position to have any form of load shedding. And going right through to March, they will be seeing to do everything they can to restore the stability of the network."
Eskom this week ramped up its rotational load shedding to an unprecedented Stage 6 after losing capacity at Medupi coal-fired power station, while coal stockpiles and coal mines were flooded in Mpumalanga.
Ramaphosa said that besides maintenance and ageing infrastructure at power stations, Eskom told him there was an act of sabotage at its Tutuka power station in Mpumalanga, that led to the disconnection of 2000MW while the utility was dealing with Stage 2 and Stage 4 load shedding.
"I have directed that the acts of sabotage must be investigated, and we must immediately work with the SA Police Service and our intelligence services as well, to find out exactly how anyone within Eskom could have disconnected the instrument that has led to the loss of 2000MW," he said.
"We want security to be increased with immediate effect so that we have the whole electricity system under constant surveillance so no one ever gets an opportunity to embark on acts of sabotage like we have now."
Ramaphosa, who had to cut short his state visit to Egypt to address the power cuts, also lashed out at the slow response by the leadership of Eskom.
He said the government's assessment of the reasons given by Eskom for load shedding were unsatisfactory, even though he applauded management, saying they have done their best to manage the crisis.
He criticised Eskom's leadership for failing to act with what he called the required urgency to prevent this week's crisis.
"They need to be more agile, and they need to underpin what they do with greater urgency and be able to anticipate some of these breakages," Ramaphosa said.
"One of the things we observed is the maintenance process of our fleet is rather slow, and it is not as deep as it should be, because maintenance is one of the key problems that faces us, particularly due to the fact we are dealing with an ageing fleet.
"Therefore we need to be more proactive."
The proposals the Eskom leadership submitted to the government include an increased capacity of 5000 more megawatts in order to maintain breakdowns at power stations, floating generators, and self-generation to help relieve pressure on the national grid.
Eskom chief operations officer Jan Oberholzer said the power utility was facing a tough situation where it had to choose which units to maintain while keeping the lights on.
"We have a system that is constrained, so we do not have the luxury to take a unit out and maintain it. We have to take it out, maintain it and replace it," he said.

WATCH: Rand trades slightly stronger overnight
Load shedding is 'killing business'
Has SA lost its mojo?
Eskom implements Stage 2 load shedding from 9am until 11pm on Thursday

1000 DAYS IMPRISONED WITHOUT TRIAL
Accused WikiLeaks whistleblower, Bradley Manning, a 25 [actually it says 24, but he's now 25] year old Army Intelligence Analyst, is accused of sharing a video showing the killing of civilians – including two Reuters journalists – by a US helicopter in Baghdad, Iraq, with the WikiLeaks website.
He is also charged with blowing the whistle on the Afghan War Diary, the Iraq War Logs, and revealing US diplomatic cables.
In short, he's been charged with telling us the truth.
The video and documents have illuminated the true number and cause of civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, human rights abuses by US funded contractors and foreign militaries, and the role that spying and bribes play in International diplomacy.

Don't forget there are a whole host of other Brad quotable quotes gathered together in the chat logs – see 'In his own words' for a reminder of where Brad was coming from.
Remind yourself why HE is NOT the person who should be in prison awaiting a trial in which the prosecutors, who seek to have imprisoned for life, have charged him with 'Aiding the Enemy' for telling you and me all that stuff we really NEED TO KNOW.
Here's just a few examples to remind us, mainly taken from http://bradleymanning.org
TRUTHS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HOPED YOU'D NEVER KNOW:
NOT A VERY GOOD SECRET
2.5 million people had access to the classified information released by Wikileaks. That's not a very good secret, but Bradley Manning now faces life in prison or the death penalty for releasing it.
Here are some of the possible reasons they didn't want the rest of us in the know.
GITMO
The government knew that most Guantanamo prisoners were either innocent or just low-level operatives. Shoddy CIA evidence collection at Guantanamo has cost millions and bred anti-American sentiment abroad. The Guantanamo Files describe how detainees were captured based on highly subjective evidence. How quickly they were released was heavily dependent on their country of origin.
See this latest post from Andy Worthington for latest update on Guantanamo and then note this important work –The Complete Guantánamo Files, described by the author as 'a 70-part, million-word series drawing on files released by WikiLeaks in April 2011'
PRESSURISING OTHER GOVTS TO DROP PROSECUTIONS AGAINST TORTURERS
The U.S. pressured Spanish courts to drop investigations of torture at Gitmo. According to a U.S. diplomatic cable written on April 17, 2009, the Association for the Dignity of Spanish Prisoners requested that the National Court indict six former U.S. officials for creating a legal framework that allegedly permitted torture against five Spanish prisoners. However,
"Senator Mel Martinez… met Acting FM [Foreign Minister] Angel Lossada… on April 15. Martinez… underscored that the prosecutions would not be understood or accepted in the U.S. and would have an enormous impact on the bilateral relationship"
U.S. officials put strong, continued pressure on Germany not to pursue charges against CIA officers involved in the extraordinary rendition of a German citizen.
In January 2007, a German court issued arrest warrants for 13 CIA agents related to their rendition of a German citizen of Lebanese descent to Afghanistan, where he was tortured. The case against the agents was later dropped.
Diplomatic cables written in the interim period shed some light on the reasons why.
According to one German Justice Ministry (BMJ) official addressing concerns from the U.S. Ambassador, international arrest warrants could only be issued once the ministry had evaluated their legal soundness and "foreign policy implications" on a case-by-case basis.
Another BMJ official assured the embassy that the cases would not be "handled as routine" and that any investigation would require a green light from Berlin.
JUST LIKE THEY TRIED WITH ITALY
And they're still up to this now – viz a case in the news very recently – Italy's prosecution of those involved in rendition and torture – where the 23 charged CIA agents had to be convicted in their absence because
the US (first under Bush and then Obama) pressured the Italian government to suppress extradition requests issued by Italian courts to compel those CIA agents to travel to Italy to stand trial. Glenn Greenwald
WE DON'T DO BODY COUNTS – CONCEALING NOS OF CIVILIAN DEATHS
Gen. Tommy Franks famously told reporters in 2002,
"We don't do body counts."
Yet the Iraq War Logs and Afghan War Diary reveal that the military does track casualties. In most cases the military did not conduct a thorough investigation into Afghani civilian deaths. Instead, they offered victims' families up to US$2400.
The Iraq War Logs, which span the period from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2009, show 109,000 total deaths. Of those, a staggering 66,081 – two-thirds – were civilians –15,000 of whom were not acknowledged or reported anywhere previously.
See how how the project Iraq Body Count has used and is using the Iraq War Logs to verify nos. and draw conclusions about deaths.
In a leaked cable from the U.S. delegation to NATO, it is stated that,
"Norway's ambassador emphasized the need to avoid a public debate about the reporting of the number of [Afghani] civilians killed,"
and the cable went on to state that
"U.N. employees themselves in Kabul doubt the method [of tracking casualties] that is used"
ARAB SPRING: HOW THE TUNISIAN ACTIVISTS BENEFITED
The U.S. government had documented Tunisian government human rights violations against its own people, but continued providing aid to Tunisia on the basis of being an ally in the war against "terrorism." About Tunisia, the U.S. Ambassador wrote,
"Tunisia is a police state, with little freedom of expression or association, and serious human rights problems."
Nevertheless, he recommended the U.S. continued funding Tunisia's military.
HAPPY TO HAND PRISONERS OVER TO TORTURE
The U.S. Military violated the U.N. Convention Against Torture by turning prisoners over to the new Iraqi Security Forces, an organization which, according to the State Dept's own reports, has frequently perpetrated prisoner torture. The Convention, which was ratified by the U.S. in 1994, forbids signatories from transferring a detainee to other countries
"where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture."
The Iraq War Logs describe thousands of reports of prisoner torture filed against the Iraqi Security Forces, hundreds of which include medical evidence.
Methods of torture described include prisoners whipped with heavy cables across the feet, hung from ceiling hooks, having holes bored into their legs with electric drills, urinated upon, and sexually assaulted.
A US military order issued in 2004 – frago 242 – directed U.S. troops NOT to investigate these allegations.
BRAD'S EPIPHANY RELATES TO THIS
Remember that, from the chat logs (see para 16), we learned that this rounding up of Iraqis (some at least of whom were merely engaged in non violent political activity) and handing them over to be tortured by the Iraqi Police, was a turning point for Brad.
After he reported up the chain of command about some wrongful arrests, that some prisoners were just handing out 'a benign political critique' on the new Iraqi government's corruption 'titled: Where did the money go?', his superior told him to 'shut up and find MORE detainees'. He says in the chat logs:
Everything started slipping after that. I saw things differently.
And think of how many people had access to exactly the same information that Brad did, and yet, apparently, it was ONLY him that thought it worth blowing the whistle on it all. That's why we call him a PEACE HERO!
and then there's:
GOVERNMENTAL CONTRACTORS GETTING AWAY WITH SEX TRAFFICKING
U.S. taxpayer dollars helped support child trafficking when government contractor DnCorp threw a party for Afghan security recruits featuring boys purchased from pimps
for entertainment. "Bacha bazi," or "boy play," is a practice in which young boys are dressed up in women's clothing, forced to dance for powerful men, and then sold for sex to the highest bidder. DynCorp was linked to child sex trafficking charges before this incident occurred.
U.S. defense contractors were brought under much tighter supervision after leaked diplomatic cables revealed that they had been complicit in child trafficking activities and the revelations have been a driving factor behind calls for the removal of all U.S. defense contractors from Afghanistan
LIES AND COLLUSION WITH YEMEN OVER AIR STRIKES/DRONES
Since December 2009, President Obama has authorized a secret drone bombing campaign in Yemen.
A year later, WikiLeaks revealed that Yemen's President Saleh had agreed that his regime would "continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours." The U.S. State Department endorsed an occasion when the Yemeni government lied to its people about U.S. participation in air strikes in December 2009 that resulted in civilian casualties.
"We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours,"
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh told General David Petraeus in January, 2010.
Saleh said, "mistakes had been made" in the earlier strikes, lamented the use of U.S. cruise missiles that were "not very accurate," and welcomed the use of precision-guided bombs instead. Yemen's Prime Minister also joked about how his President had "lied" to the parliament about the strikes.
These drone strikes have killed large numbers of civilians. One of the strikes that occurred shortly before the cable in question was written had killed 55 people, 41 of whom were classified as civilians (21 of these were children) according to a report by Amnesty International. This US military operation in Yemen, which persists to this day, has not been officially acknowledged by the US government.
CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY ON CLIMATE
The U.S. Government offered handouts to third-world countries in order to buy signatories for the adopted version of the Copenhagen Climate Accords, which holds the U.S. to lower standards than every other industrialized nation, including India, China and
South Africa.
U.S. diplomatic cables show the U.S. offered aid unrelated to climate issues to individual countries, persuading developing countries to break with regional bargaining groups and agree to the Accord.
AND MORE including:
Known Egyptian torturers received training from the FBI in Quantico, Virginia.
The State Department authorized the theft of the UN Secretary General's DNA.
The Japanese and U.S. Governments had been warned about the seismic threat at Fukushima.
The State Department backed corporate opposition to a Haitian minimum wage law.
ALL AT: http://www.bradleymanning.org/learn-more/what-did-wikileaks-reveal
And the leaks continue to inform, illuminate and assist all who seek justice and truth.
PERMITTED AS COURT EVIDENCE FOR THE FIRST TIME: RULING JULY 2012
In another recent example,the Chagos islanders, booted out of their home between 1965 and 1973 by the British authorities in order to allow the US to establish an airbase on Diego Garcia, were recently permitted by the Judge to use a relevant US/UK exchange from Cablegate in court as evidence in their on-going battle to get their home back.
SO REMEMBER
This is why we're doing this, why we're protesting Brad's imprisonment – the imprisonment of the whistleblower – the one who we should be thanking – the one who hoped that the leaks would lead to
worldwide discussions, debates and reforms….

Fraport Slovenija
The first aircraft, type DC 6B, landed at today's Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport on Christmas Eve in 1963. Regular air traffic started on 9 January a year later.
Before today's airport in Brnik was built, Slovenia had its airport in Ljubljana, along the current Letališka cesta, after which the street was named. Brnik was chosen as the new location of the airport mainly due to its favorable geostrategic location; construction projects have been maturing for quite some time.
The first foundation work began in 1952, and a good decade later, with the landing of the first passenger plane at Brnik Airport, a completely new junction of opportunities began to grow.
Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport is the central Slovenian international airport. It is one of the leading airports in the region with a gravitational area of more than 4 million inhabitants, connecting the Balkan region with Western and Central Europe.
Due to its constant growth and development, Ljubljana Airport is an important hub for passenger and freight air transport, as well as distribution and logistics services.
The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic cripple air passenger traffic in 2021 as well.
Fraport Slovenia obtains the AHA (Airport Health Accreditation) certificate, which is awarded by the International Council of Airports ACI (Airport Council International) and joins a family of airports that are certified to provide safe conditions for passengers and employees.
In March, the business lounge was renovated and expanded and the standard for passengers traveling in a higher class was improved, and the commercial offer in the international area of the passenger terminal was expanded.
At the end of the year, the European Commission issued a decision on the allocation of European funds for the construction of a new passenger terminal.
For the first time since 2008, the company managed to record growth in passenger and freight traffic. The multi-year negative trend was reversed mainly due to the growth in foreign airline traffic.
The operations of the domestic carrier Adria Airways have stabilized.
The new scheduled carrier Air Serbia has established daily flights from Ljubljana to Belgrade.
In October, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia placed Aerodrom Ljubljana on the list of predominantly state-owned companies for sale, and some proceedings were initiated in connection with this.
The year was marked by the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the airport.
The biggest turning point was undoubtedly the sale of the company to the German airport operator Fraport AG, which signed an agreement in September to buy 75.5 percent of the shares.
Growth in passenger and freight transport and good business operations continued in 2014.
In the first months of the year, the majority owner, Fraport AG, acquired a 100% stake in Ljubljana Airport, and on the last day of March the company was transformed from a joint stock company into a limited liability company.
Good business continued also in 2015, traffic growth was significant and was the fastest in the region at 10 percent and almost one time higher than the average growth of passenger traffic at European airports.
In May 2015, the company received the ISO 14001 certificate for the continuous reduction of the harmful effects of its activities on the environment.
The company Aerodrom Ljubljana was renamed to Fraport Slovenija.
The marked growth of passenger traffic continued, which was the result of the strengthening of the network of air connections and the increase of traffic of both domestic and foreign carriers, the favorable economic climate and the growing recognition of Slovenia as a tourist destination.
Ljubljana Airport ends the year with a record number of accepted passengers, 1,676,032.
Sustainable mobility is one of the most important pillars of the company's sustainable strategy, the vehicle fleet is enriched with the first car powered exclusively by electricity.
Fraport AG and Fraport Slovenija have opened a new training center for Fraport Aviation Academy at Ljubljana Airport, and more than 500 participants from all over the world are being trained in the new facility of the academy.
Construction work is underway to expand the new T2 passenger terminal.
The domestic carrier Adria Airways declares bankruptcy and ceases air operations.
The airport strengthens the connection of flights with foreign carriers, regular flights to Ljubljana airport are established by Lufthansa, Swiss International Air, Brussels Airlines.
Fraport Slovenia is the initiator of the resolution on the development of transport infrastructure in the area of Ljubljana Airport. The resolution was supported by all six surrounding Gorenjska municipalities.
A global SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has been declared, halting global passenger aviation. On 17 March, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia issued a decree banning the operation of all passenger air transport in the Republic of Slovenia. Only freight traffic, special air transport without passenger transport, state and humanitarian flights and flights with which Slovenian citizens return to Slovenia are allowed.The airport has been reopened on May 12, but global air passenger traffic is drastically declining due to measures to curb the spread of coronavirus taken by countries around the world.
After the terrorist attack in New York on September 11, global air traffic found itself in crisis, the number of passengers dropped drastically overnight.
In 2001, air traffic in Brnik fell for the first time since 1993.
Start of construction of a general aviation hangar and arrangement of a general aviation platform.
The expansion of the commercial offer with wireless Internet access (WLAN) has brought additional quality in the offer of airport services.
Travelers looking for cheap travel have been delighted with the opening of the first Last Minute Center at the airport.
Four new airlines started operations from Ljubljana Airport: low-cost carrier EasyJet, Austrian Airlines, Malév Hungarian Airlines and Air France.
Before the summer, a new, modernly equipped parking house with 1,300 parking spaces and a business extension was opened.
Two spatial implementation acts were also adopted, namely the location plan for the relocation of the main road and the spatial planning conditions of the area next to the airport, which provided the conditions for the further development of airport and airport programs.
Construction of a new passenger terminal has begun, and an aircraft parking platform has been expanded by just under 6,000 square meters.
With the arrival of the daily UPS freight line, the airport began to develop into a freight hub.
In the field of passenger transport, the offer of connections was supplemented by the Turkish airline Turkish Airlines and the Polish-Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air.
The construction of a new part of the passenger terminal has been completed.
The company received the prestigious Rating of the Year award and ranked among the most desirable Slovenian employers.
Two new carriers, Finnish Finnair and Belgian Brussels Airlines, have started regular flights.
In June, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a decision to rename Ljubljana Airport into Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, and in October the first facility of the emerging airport city was opened - DHL's operating terminal.
Towards the end of the year, the runway for aircraft was extended, a new general aviation terminal was opened and the parking platform for aircraft in front of it was increased.
At the beginning of the year, online check-in for the flight was enabled, and we also open an extension of the runway.
At the end of March, border controls on domestic flights were abolished, and with the new timetable, Adria Airways began to fly regularly to Bucharest, Athens, Stockholm and Oslo.
Construction of a northern car park with a capacity of up to 960 vehicles is underway.
Due to the consequences of the economic crisis, the airport faced a significant decline in traffic, however, the company continues to plan investments in basic infrastructure.
The main airport apron has been renovated and expanded by just under 40,000 square meters, and the summer is marked by a thorough renovation of the runway.
In Europe, air traffic has mostly recovered, while at Ljubljana Airport the decline in passenger traffic continued.The year is marked by business and liquidity problems of the domestic carrier Adria Airways.
The year 1991 was a turning point for Ljubljana Airport. With the independence of Slovenia, Ljubljana Airport became the central state airport, and at the same time faced a significant decline in traffic due to political and military events on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
On June 26, at 1.30 pm, the airspace over Slovenia and thus the airport was closed.
In mid-September 1991, due to the closure of airspace over Slovenia, traffic moved to Klagenfurt Airport. With major and minor exceptions, the closure lasted until mid-February 1992, when Ljubljana Airport was used for the renovation of the airport building, the renovation of the airport parking platform and the introduction of IT for airport staff and passengers.
In 1992, more than 248,851 passengers traveled through Ljubljana Airport, which was less compared to previous years. As a result of the changes, the airport lost half a million passengers from structures that could not be quickly returned or replaced later.
Slovenian airline Adria Airways has become the largest partner of Ljubljana Airport.
Due to the reduced traffic at the airport, an opportunity was offered to resurface the runway.
The largest expansion of the terminal was carried out in 1992 and 1993. The passenger terminal was thus increased from 4,000 m2 to 6,000 m2.
A modern PAR-Precision Approach Radar has also been installed.
The high growth trend in traffic, which was characteristic of the years after independence, began to slow down in 1996.
The annual number of passengers doubled from 1991 to the end of 1996, the amount of cargo handled more than doubled, and the number of aircraft movements doubled.
At the beginning of 1996, a new department of the General Aviation Center was created. This reorganization improved the quality of aircraft care services in this segment of transport, and at the same time it was a new, strong argument in the marketing of airport services.
The company has completed the ownership transformation process.
On 28 January, Aerodrom Ljubljana was entered in the court register as a joint stock company.On 8 October, the AELG share was listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.
There was a significant increase in the number of carriers in the spring.
In January 1999, the airport was licensed to operate in low visibility conditions of CAT III B, making it one of about 100 airports in the world with such equipment.
Parking capacity has been increased from 1,000 to 1,400 parking spaces. The space and the baggage claim system have also been renovated.
The airport buys a heavy fire truck for the purpose of increasing fire safety and according to the category of the airport due to the landing of wide-body aircraft.
Due to extremely favorable prices for domestic air transport, the airport recorded a record traffic of 886,248 passengers. This number was not exceeded until 1999.
An important contribution to safety at the airport was the increase of the platform by 35,000 m2 and the construction of a service road to deliver fuel to the platform.
In June 1971, the West German airline Lufthansa opened a scheduled cargo route with Frankfurt. This was the first freight line in the former Yugoslavia, and it was a big step forward in the introduction of an integrated transport system in air freight transport.Boeing 737 aircraft, adapted to transport cargo on pallets and in air containers, carried cargo on this route once a week.
On November 22, the airport welcomed the millionth passenger for the first time.
When the runway was upgraded and other maneuvering areas were expanded, the DC-10 wide-body aircraft of the American company Trans International Airlines landed at the airport for the first time in July.
The summer season was a kind of test for the new passenger terminal and other new facilities. After thorough checks by several federal commissions, the airport took over the traffic of Zagreb Airport, which was being renovated that summer.
The traffic density was several times higher than usual at that time, the traffic of passengers and planes almost doubled.
At the end of the year, the Swiss airline Swissair introduced a regular cargo route Zagreb-Ljubljana-Zurich.
There were changes in the structure of traffic in 1975. The share of domestic traffic increased, although in absolute terms it did not exceed international traffic. The ratio between domestic and foreign carriers changed at the expense of foreign ones.
The increase in freight traffic required the construction of a new customs building.
Ljubljana Airport has decided to reconstruct the runway and modernize navigation devices. After more than a year of preparations, the airport was closed at midnight on June 30. Renovation and modernization lasted until the end of August. Traffic was diverted to airports in Maribor, Pula and Zagreb. Scheduled air traffic at the renovated airport began on September 1st. The longer track and its higher load-bearing capacity enabled traffic on intercontinental lines.
On December 20, JAT began flying the DC-10 on an intercontinental route to New York.
The first Boeing 747 of the West German Lufthansa cargo landing lands at Ljubljana Airport.

The company is entered in the register of the District Commercial Court in Ljubljana.
The first aircraft landed at the new airport at its official opening, Dec. 24 at 10:45 p.m. The first aircraft was the DC-6B of the Slovenian airline, which was then called Adria-aviopromet (later Adria Airways).
On 9 January, scheduled air traffic is established. Lines with Belgrade, Dubrovnik and London were maintained by JAT, and Adria-aviopromet flew to Belgrade and Algeria.
The volume of traffic at the airport was growing rapidly. This year, 15 airlines have landed on Ljubljana Airport, and sports aviation has also developed.
In June, an air taxi began operating, offering tourists panoramic tours of the surroundings.
26 airlines flew to Ljubljana Airport.Charter traffic developed mainly.
The company Aerodrom Ljubljana - Pula was established, and the military airport there opens to civil air traffic, which is developing rapidly due to the developed tourist hinterland.
Competition in the field of tourism has intensified, the management of the airport in Pula is taken over by Aerodrom Ljubljana. Air traffic at Brnik is reauctioned by more than half because the majority of charter flights were transferred to Pula.
At the end of 1968, JAT introduced a regular freight line between Belgrade, Ljubljana and Munich. Later, a line between Belgrade, Ljubljana and Zurich was introduced. Both lines provided a good connection for transatlantic freight flights, which contributed to greater economic growth in the wider airport area.

Round Corner Brewery - The business that now 'can'!
Melton based Round Corner Brewing is set to double its output this year thanks to a grant from the Business Gateway Growth Hub and its ability to adapt the production of its world-class craft beers during the Covid-19 crisis.
Although RCB are just 2 years old, it has already won numerous industry awards including best draft lager in the world at the International Brewing Awards (the Oscars of Beer) for their Gunmetal Black Lager in 2019 and no less than 6 awards at the recent World Beer Awards in September.
RCB is co-founded by Colin Paige and Combie Cryan and the idea had been 'brewing' since 2005 when the friends met in New Zealand. Colin is an international master brewer and Combie is the beer-loving CEO taking care of the business and finance side. They have over 25 years of business and brewing experience and started RCB at Melton Mowbray Market in December 2018.

As the country went into lockdown the demand for beer switched overnight from pubs and bars (95% of their business) to shops, supermarkets and online, although this trend towards retail was already happening before the pandemic.
For RCB this was a huge opportunity, but they couldn't supply to retailers without a major investment, particularly as they outsourced canning of their beers to third parties who weren't as quality and deadline focused as RCB needed them to be. RCB also needed to increase volume and lower unit price of their cans to fulfil the bulk buying needs of supermarkets.
Following support from Ann Cook, Business Gateway Adviser and Rita Ram, Business Gateway Support Officer, RCB successfully secured a £25,000 Business Growth Grant towards a new in-house canning line. They have also invested in a can wrap-around labeller and date-coding inkjet plus other kit making a total investment of close to £200,000 in the business.
Combie Cryan, CEO said: "The canning line marks a pivot in our business away from a focus solely on draft beer sold in pubs and into cans sold in retail outlets. The grant has had a critical impact on our business. People in lockdown wanted their beer at home. With this investment, we've been able to go national and chase high volume business and all with a greater level of confidence in the quality of the product.
"We can now produce retail-ready beer and react to the market much quicker as things change. We're looking at an exponential increase in sales from a low base of 10,000 cans in 2019 to 75,000 this year, and double that by 2021."

He added: "The support from Ann and Rita has been fantastic. The process was 100% robust. We were challenged on all the right things, but they had an eye on the end results as Covid had contracted timescales. Rather than leaving us to our own devices to apply, they worked with us dynamically, so we put an accurate and compelling case forward. I would be incredibly positive if anyone came my way and asked if they should go for this grant."
Ann Cook said: "Combie and his team were quick to react to what has been a devastating time for many businesses. I'm delighted the Business Growth Grant has enabled them to capitalise on the opportunity and switch their focus to what the market now demands."
Combie added: "This is a big step toward our ambitions to become a world-class brewery where we brew and package for other producers as well as ourselves. Just in its first few days of operation, our new canning line has produced 20,000 cans of our World Champion Gunmetal Black lager for a major supermarket."
Now that's certainly something to celebrate!
The Business Gateway offers Business Growth Grants to SMEs from £2,000 to £25,000 providing up to 35% towards the cost of capital projects. Businesses looking for help sourcing finance for development should visit the Business Gateway website for details of the support available or complete the online enquiry form.
The Business Gateway Growth Hub is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and run in partnership with Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, East Midlands Chamber (Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire) and the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership Limited (LLEP).

Khashoggi allegedly disappeared and has been reported killed at the hands of Saudi consulate staff in Istanbul, Turkey. Of course, the US, UK, EU, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are among the most dubious actors in modern geopolitics. Ascertaining the truth regarding the events surrounding Khashoggi may ultimately turn out to be an insurmountable task.
The Khashoggi crisis has called attention to a largely overlooked Saudi-led war in Yemen. On a rare trip to the front line, New York Times journalists found Yemenis fighting and dying in a war that has gone nowhere.
It was the systematic and concerted cover up by the Western media regarding the war – which began in 2015 – that provided Saudi Arabia the impunity with which it executed the war.
The Saudi-led war in Yemen has ground on for more than three years, killing thousands of civilians and creating what the United Nations calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis. But it took the crisis over the apparent murder of the dissident Jamal Khashoggi in a Saudi consulate two weeks ago for the world to take notice.
Saudi Arabia's brash young crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, under scrutiny over the Khashoggi case, now faces a fresh reckoning for his ruthless prosecution of the war in Yemen — yet another foreign policy debacle for Saudi Arabia, and a catastrophe for the Arab world's poorest country.
Nowhere in the New York Times' piece is a single, even oblique mention made of the US role in the war. However – in fact – the war is being fought with US-made warplanes, refueled by US Air Force-crewed aerial refueling aircraft, dropping US-built ordnance on targets selected by US intelligence agencies, with the help of US special forces on the ground directly assisting Saudi forces.
They appear to contradict Pentagon statements that American military assistance to the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen is limited to aircraft refueling, logistics and general intelligence sharing.
And indeed, the war in Yemen is not a "Saudi-led war," it is in fact just one of America's many "secret wars." It is secret specifically because of the complicity of newspapers like the New York Times, only now cynically and dishonestly reporting on the Yemen war as part of a concerted campaign aimed at decoupling US culpability and leaving it entirely with Riyadh.
For years before the Khashoggi incident, the New York Times and others were more than content with burying and spinning news about Yemen, or not covering it at all.
The Western media demonstrates its absolute contempt for the intelligence of its collective audience. Their sudden concern and feigned outrage aimed at Saudi Arabia tenuously papers over decades of Saudi atrocities both inside Saudi Arabia itself, and across the world through its key role in state sponsored terrorism.
While the article claims "successive Saudi governments lost track of the effort" and that funding is now provided by "Saudi-based "foundations,"" this is not true.
There are no "successive governments" in Saudi Arabia. The nation since its founding has been run by a single family – the House of Saud.
And while Saudi-based foundations may be the conduit through which Wahhabism is organized, funded, and directed, it most certainly is done at the behest of Riyadh in a process fully underwritten by Washington.
Among Washington's other "secret wars" are Libya and Syria where terrorists recruited, radicalized, trained, funded, and armed through US-Saudi funded Wahhabism were unleashed on the battlefield.
Amid these two conflicts, newspapers like the New York Times worked overtime providing them with public exposure – seeking to sell to the public greater and more direct Western military intervention. In Libya, these efforts resulted in a NATO-led air campaign that eventually toppled the Libyan government and plunged the nation into years of infighting, terrorism, slavery, and enduring dysfunction that persists today.
In Syria, the gambit fell short when Russia intervened at the request of Damascus, effectively blocking a similar NATO-led Libya-style air campaign. Russian warplanes targeted NATO supply routes out of Turkey feeding terrorist organizations operating inside Syrian territory, and ultimately turned the tide of the war.
And just as the US and Saudi Arabia used terrorist organizations in Libya and Syria to fight their proxy wars, an AP investigation revealed they were doing likewise in Yemen.
Thus, the Western media has always been and is still fully aware of the true nature of Saudi Arabia's decades-long geopolitical trajectory – as it was the West and more specifically the US and UK who helped launch it in the first place. And it was the Western media who all along helped spin it on its way.
The deceitful and intelligence-insulting narratives now being peddled by papers like the New York Times and others are unacceptable. If Riyadh falls, so too must those in Washington and London who built Riyadh up and walked with it – bloody hand-in-bloody hand – every step of the way.
Attempts to decouple Western culpability from Saudi atrocities is an illustration of the immense duplicity and impropriety of Western political and media circles. But it is also a warning to the rest of Washington and London's "allies"- like the current regime in Ukraine – who believe their relationship and complicity with, as well as their obedience to the West affords them inexhaustible impunity.
The West picks weak, dependent, and dysfunctional political, military, and economic partners specifically because their very nature serves as the perfect check to keep them under control and if need be, to dispose of expediently.
What's Really Behind the Khashoggi Fallout?
For now, it is unclear whether the fallout between the US and Saudi Arabia is real or imagined. The US and Turkey may be using Saudi Arabia to expunge their responsibility for their joint support of global terrorism alongside Riyadh, or perhaps to preemptively decouple from Riyadh ahead of a planned "Saudi" provocation against Iran.
Or Riyadh may have refused requests made by Washington and is now being pressured to reverse its decision.
So far, absent are the sort of aggressive steps taken when Washington faces a real enemy it seeks to inflict damage upon. Unlike with Russia when baseless accusations were made regarding election interference, the downing of MH-17, or the entire Skripal affair – there are no sanctions being discussed regarding Riydah. Weapons and US military support still flow to Saudi Arabia and the war in Yemen continues unabated, all while the US military continues providing Riyadh with defacto protection with its forces scattered across the Middle East.
Until these facts on the ground change, we may simply be witnessing geopolitical theater where Saudi Arabia is elected to play the "villain" and absorbs responsibility for years, if not decades of atrocities jointly committed with its Anglo-American sponsors. By doing so, the US can save face and leave Riyadh with the broken pieces of their collective and ill-conceived regional and global policies. Only time will tell.
One fact we can be certain of is that neither the US nor Saudi Arabia can be relied on for the truth. If the truth surrounding Khashoggi's fate ever does emerge, it will not be from the Western or Saudi media nor from representatives of their respective capitals.

Alfred M.W. Sangster OJ, CD, JP, BSc, PhD, FJIM
Home » Hall of Fame » Alfred M.W. Sangster OJ, CD, JP, BSc, PhD, FJIM
Family Legacy
Alfred Sangster was born in St. Elizabeth on July 24, 1929, son of Peter Watt Sangster, a farmer, politician, and Munro & Dickenson Trustee, who was a hero for his upcoming nephew Donald, who became Prime Minister of Jamaica. Alfred's mother, Iris M.L. Maxwell Sangster, was the daughter of a Scottish missionary who established many churches in St Elizabeth. She established a foundation to help students associated with those churches.
Munro Days
Alfred attended Munro College from 1940 to 1947. He achieved good scholastic and sporting accomplishments, was House Captain of Calder House and Deputy Head Boy, and was a scout as a junior and cadet as a senior. Although he has represented Jamaica in hockey, he was perhaps more remembered for tennis and track and field. Along with fellow inductee Hugh Hart, he was on the tennis team that won the Alexander Cup in 1947, and on the athletic teams of 1945, captained by inductee Lindy Delapenha, and of 1947, both of which won Boys Champs for Munro College. In cricket, he famously made a century against the Munro Old Boys. He earned his school colours in athletics, cricket, hockey and tennis.
He has described his Munro years as rich and rewarding. Passing his School Certificate Grade II with distinction in English Language in 1944, he went on to gain his High School Certificate in 1946, majoring in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.
Going on to science at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, he gained a First Class Honours BSc in Chemistry, a blue in athletics, and was an executive in the Varsity Bible Union. He came back to Jamaica and was assistant Lecturer in Chemistry, then Senior Lecturer and Supervisor of Research Projects between 1952 and 1970 at the University of the West Indies. Meanwhile, in 1958, he obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry.
1958 was a great year for him, as then he also married Trinidadian Velma A.I. Bodden. They have raised two sons and a daughter and are justly proud of them. Peter and David are mechanical engineers and Kathleen a medical doctor.
His career at what was first CAST and later University of Technology went from Vice-Dean of Evening Students to President of UTECH, where for a while his name became synonymous with the institution. He has been President of the Inter-collegiate Sports Association and a Member of Carreras Sports Foundation. Out of this interest in sports, he espoused the principle of local training of athletes along with colleague Dennis Johnson, and this has seen the emergence of world-class local coaches and Jamaican athletes prosper, excel, and dominate as never before.
Some of the things he remembers with fondness of the CAST/UTECH years are: student numbers going from 1,200 to 6,000; three (3) new departments; fifty (50) new programmes; the granting of degrees; growth of the physical plant; a growing number of Caribbean students; the 9th World Conference on Cooperative Education; and restoration after Hurricane Gilbert in 1988.
Varied Interests
His publications include numerous scientific papers, television commentaries, and a book, "Energy and our World." His other interests are photography, swimming, and scanning the developments in science and technology. He says of himself: "I became a Christian at Moorlands Camp in Manchester, and have sought to honour the Lord. I give God thanks for guidance and for the recognition I have received".
Community Service and Recognition
He was a founding father and Chairman of Citizens Action for Free and Fair Elections, (CAFFE) and under its monitoring, the freeness and fairness at polling stations in Jamaica have improved greatly in the last five general elections. For this initiative he received the Gleaner's Special Award in 1999.
Because of his consistent interest in education and in technology and its applications, he has been pressed – not unwillingly – into service via chairmanships, directorships, memberships, and consultancies covering a lot more than the following; Merl Grove, Kingston Technical' UTECH Education Foundation; Solar Energy Society; Farquharson Institute; World Future Society; Cooperative Education Association of Science Teachers; School of Theology; Student Christian Fellowship & Scripture Union; Jamaica National Relays, and the Metrication Board.
For his consistent yeomanry and effectiveness, many organizations and the government itself have honoured him. He is a Justice of the Peace since 1977, and has received the Institute of Jamaica Musgrave Gold Medal and the Munro & Dickenson Trust Award for Excellence. He received the Order of Jamaica (CD) in 1982, and the Order of Jamaica (OJ) in 1995. Fittingly, in 1996, the UTECH Auditorium was named the Alfred Sangster Auditorium.
For these reasons, and more, the Hon. Alfred Sangster OJ, was proudly inducted into the Munro College Old Boys Association Hall of Fame.
