Rep. Doug Collins Introduces New Resolution To Remove Nancy Pelosi As House Speaker!
Thank you Doug Collins!
Finally someone of integrity and finally a Republican willing to fight back!
President Trump needs fighters like Doug Collins and I am so happy to see this.
It's clear that Nancy Pelosi does not have the mental fitness to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
I'm introducing a resolution to push for her removal.
— Rep. Doug Collins (@RepDougCollins) October 12, 2020
Nancy Pelosi has trampled over historical precedent and the Constitution time and time again in an effort to remove @realDonaldTrump from office.
It's past time we remove her as Speaker.https://t.co/I5KQtUnioi
And from Fox News:
Rep. Doug Collins on Monday introduced a resolution to push for the removal of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, claiming she "does not have the mental fitness" to lead the House of Representatives.
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi's unwillingness to abide by the Constitution, combined with her recent actions, call into question her own mental fitness, which is why it's critical that the House of Representatives demand her removal from the line of succession," Collins said in a statement to Fox News.
A draft of Collins' resolution, obtained by Fox News, argues that Pelosi "is unable to adequately serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives and should therefore be removed from her position."
The resolution states that Pelosi "has spent the majority of the House of Representative's time pursuing baseless and fruitless investigations" against President Trump and his administration, including launching an impeachment inquiry against him in the fall of 2019.
The resolution continues: "On October 31, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi oversaw the first party-line vote to begin an impeachment inquiry into a president in the history of our country."
Rep. Doug Collins has a big idea to prevent Supreme Court packingVideo
The House of Representatives, in December, voted to adopt two articles of impeachment against the president: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
At the center of the inquiry was Trump's efforts to press Ukraine to launch politically related investigations — regarding former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter's dealings in Ukraine, as well as issues related to the 2016 presidential election.
.@SpeakerPelosi will stop at NOTHING to take down @realDonaldTrump.
First it was the Russia hoax, then sham impeachment. Now she's trying to invoke the 25th amendment because he... fully recovered from the coronavirus?
We won't let her get away with it.https://t.co/L9fRPFpynC
— Rep. Doug Collins (@RepDougCollins) October 8, 2020
From Collins' official House Website:
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi's unwillingness to abide by the Constitution, combined with her recent actions, call into question her own mental fitness, which is why it's critical that the House of Representatives demand her removal from the line of succession," Collins said in a statement to Fox News.
A draft of Collins' resolution, obtained by Fox News, argues that Pelosi "is unable to adequately serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives and should therefore be removed from her position."
The resolution continues: "On October 31, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi oversaw the first party-line vote to begin an impeachment inquiry into a president in the history of our country."
The president's request came after millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to Ukraine had been frozen, which Democrats argue shows a "quid pro quo" arrangement. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
The president was acquitted on both articles of impeachment by the Senate in February.
But Collins' resolution also states that Pelosi "ripped up the State of the Union speech" delivered by the president in February "before the American people," referencing when Pelosi tore her printed copy of the speech immediately after Trump wrapped his remarks at the 2020 State of the Union.
The resolution also states that Pelosi "visited a shuttered hair salon in San Francisco where she received a blow-out without wearing a mask in violation of San Francisco's laws concerning the coronavirus;" and "cast blame on the salon's owner for 'setting her up.'" Fox News first reported last month that Pelosi visited a San Francisco hair salon for a wash and blowout, despite local ordinances keeping salons closed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"Over her tenure of her speakership, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has started to demonstrate a decline in mental fitness, calling into question her ability to adequately serve the House of Representatives and the American people," the resolution states. Collins' resolution referenced an interview on ABC News, saying Pelosi "appeared confused and exhibited bizarre behavior" by "blurting out randomly 'Good Morning, Sunday morning.'"
During the interview, Pelosi's answer to a question seemed disjointed, saying: "Good morning, Sunday morning."
A spokesman for Pelosi did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment on the Collins resolution.
Collins' resolution comes after Pelosi, last week, announced legislation to create a commission that would allow Congress to oust a president from office, using the 25th Amendment, just a day after she accused President Trump of being "in an altered state" from his coronavirus treatment.
"This is not about President Trump," Pelosi said Friday. "He will face the judgment of the voters. But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents."
Pelosi denied that the timing of the legislation had anything to do with the election and argued that setting up a commission on presidential capacity is needed to "give some comfort to people" on the stability of the government.
Under the 25th Amendment, Congress, the cabinet and vice president can strip powers from a president if for some reason he or she is declared unfit under dire circumstances. But that requires a 2/3 vote of both houses.
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment also states that a majority of "such other body as Congress may by law" determine if the president cannot discharge the powers and duties of his office. The 25th Amendment was ratified in 1967, and Rep. Jamie Raksin, D-Md., who appeared with Pelosi last week, said it's time for Congress to set up this "body."
Raskin's bill, which would have to be passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president, would set up "the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office."
The 17 members of the bipartisan commission would work with the vice president to determine whether the president is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office" due to physical or mental incapacity. Prospectively, that commission would adjudicate the need for a transfer of power.
While such a bill may pass the Democrat-controlled House, it would seem extremely unlikely to pass the Republican-held Senate unless there was a significant development in Trump's health. However, it introduces a new political narrative just weeks before Election Day.
Pelosi was asked Friday if she thought Trump has met the threshold for the 25th Amendment to be invoked.
"That's not for us to decide," she said.

The dataset of ground truth measurements synchronizing with the airborne microwave radiometers (L&K bands) mission was obtained in the Linze grassland foci experimental area on Jul. 4, 2008. Simultaneous ground observations on the land surface radiative temperature, the soil temperature and soil moisture were carried out along sampling stripes of newL1-newL12 (each has five points). At each point, soil gravimetric moisture, volumetric moisture, and soil bulk density after drying by the cutting ring, the mean soil temperature from 0-5cm by the probe thermometer, the canopy temperature and the land surface temperature by the hand-held infrared thermometer were measured.

Health and social services expenditures: Associations with health outcomes
Elizabeth H. Bradley, Benjamin R. Elkins, Jeph Herrin, Brian Elbel
Strategies to Reduce Inequality
Objective: To examine variations in health service expenditures and social services expenditures across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and assess their association with five population-level health outcomes. Design: A pooled, cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2009 release of the OECD Health Data 2009 Statistics and Indicators and OECD Social Expenditure Database. Setting: OECD countries (n=30) from 1995 to 2005. Main outcomes: Life expectancy at birth, infant mortality, low birth weight, maternal mortality and potential years of life lost. Results: Health services expenditures adjusted for gross domestic product (GDP) per capita were significantly associated with better health outcomes in only two of five health indicators; social services expenditures adjusted for GDP were significantly associated with better health outcomes in three of five indicators. The ratio of social expenditures to health expenditures was significantly associated with better outcomes in infant mortality, life expectancy and increased potential life years lost, after adjusting for the level of health expenditures and GDP. Conclusion: Attention to broader domains of social policy may be helpful in accomplishing improvements in health envisioned by advocates of healthcare reform.

Vid kommunreformen 1862 övergick socknens ansvar för de kyrkliga frågorna till Kyrketorps församling och för de borgerliga frågorna bildades Kyrketorps landskommun. Landskommunen uppgick 1952 i Skultorps landskommun som 1971 uppgick i Skövde kommun. Församlingen utökades 2002 och uppgick 2010 i Skultorps församling.

1 januari 2016 inrättades distriktet Norra Kyrketorp, med samma omfattning som församlingen hade 1999/2000.

Socknen har tillhört län, fögderier, tingslag och domsagor enligt vad som beskrivs i artikeln Kåkinds härad. De indelta soldaterna tillhörde Skaraborgs regemente och Västgöta regemente, Kåkinds kompani.

Geografi
Norra Kyrketorps socken ligger närmats söder om Skövde med Billingen i väster. Socknen är kuperad skogsbygd med  odlingsbygd nedför Billingen.

Fornlämningar
Från järnåldern finns gravar och ett gravfält och domarringar. En runsten har påträffats.

Namnet
Namnet skrevs 1380 Kirkiuthorpe och kommer från kyrkbyn. Efterleden är torp, 'nybygge' och kan ha varit namnet på kyrkbyn Thorp.

Photography Exhibition | Bill Rowlinson & Richard Nicholson
A MASTER'S TOUCH / LAST ONE OUT, PLEASE TURN ON THE LIGHT
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION DATES
27 NOVEMBER 2009 – 27 JANUARY 2010
Bill Rowlinson: A Master's Touch
Bill Rowlinson, doyen of black and white master printers, bequeathed his print collection to Photofusion on his death in 2008. His somewhat eccentric approach (such as staining a print with tea bags and smoking over it!) produced results that were highly sought after by photographers. He began printing for Sarah Moon in the late 1960s, bringing a wide range of tones to the dreamlike quality of her work, establishing his reputation as a master printer. Photographers began entrusting him with their work and advertising agencies looked to him when they wanted something 'special'.
An advertising shot for Newcastle Brown Ale, by photographer Derek Coutts, won him his first Ilford Printer of the Year Award in 1975. The Ilford Photographic Awards ran for 25 years from 1968 and became unique by giving the printer equal billing with the photographer. Rowlinson was a regular recipient of these awards.
Photographer Bob Miller, who worked with Rowlinson over many years, recalls: "He once showed me a split-toned and slightly solarised print. On asking how it was done, he replied that he took some selenium (a dangerous chemical) and boiled it up on his cooker. He then took the print out to the garden and poured the selenium all over it, creating a look that noone else in the world could get. I put in my note book never to do this!"
Bill Rowlinson
Fellow master printer and photographer Adrian Ensor remembers how photographers "would beat a path to his door for that magic touch he would bring to their photographs", influencing a generation who were coming to prominence in the 1980s before photography's evolution heralded the three minute development time, drying in meths and then straight onto the wire. "Bill was an inspiration to me and to all those in the field of black and white printing; he took the profession to a higher level. He was always someone you could call, as long as it was late at night, for advice and guidance, of which he would dispense with his usual generosity. I miss those days when black and white printing was riding high, when there was a certain camaraderie of the darkroom, and Bill was always up there giving us pride in our profession."
Chris Dickie, Ag magazine editor, adds: "Fleet Street's darkrooms are all gone, and now the specialist black and white master printers, among whom he shone, are as rare as a hen's teeth. Bill Rowlinson was every bit as rare as that."
From the many esteemed photographers he printed for, Photofusion will be exhibiting a selection by Sarah Moon, Bill Brandt, Julia Margaret Cameron (Dimbola Lodge), Barry Lategan, Jon Swannell, Clive Arrowsmith, Jimmy Wormser.
Richard Nicholson: Last One Out Please Turn On The Light
Photofusion is delighted to show for the first time Richard Nicholson's series. This project, begun in 2006 and shot on large format film, documents London's remaining professional darkrooms. For decades these workspaces were the engine rooms of the British photographic scene, turning out iconic images for galleries, billboards and glossy magazines. Yet now they languish, struggling to survive in the new world of digital photography.
Richard Nicholson
Nicholson's carefully composed images shed light on private workspaces that were previously obscured by darkness. Enlargers stand proudly, like spiritual relics from another age, in chaotic rooms marked with the patina of time – a world apart from the contemporary photographer's shiny computer workstation. By turning his lens on the printing process itself, Nicholson invites us to reflect on the nature of photography and the accelerating pace of technological change.
The series includes the darkrooms of master printers Roy Snell, Michael Dyer, Debbie Sears, Adrian Ensor, Brian Dowling, Mike Spry, Robin Bell and many others.

UN Official Decries Biden's 'Troubling' Deportations Under Pretext of Pandemic
"Even where Covid-19 has surged at times, many countries have put in place effective protocols... that have simultaneously and successfully protected both public health and the human right to seek asylum."
Brett Wilkins
Citing the imperative for all governments to uphold applicable international law, the United Nations refugee agency on Wednesday expressed concern over the Biden administration's continued use of a Trump-era "expedited removal" process by which families seeking asylum in the U.S. are flown back to Mexico under pretext of mitigating the Covid-19 pandemic.
"These expulsion flights of non-Mexicans to the deep interior of Mexico constitute a troubling new dimension in enforcement of the Covid-related public health order known as Title 42."
—Matthew Reynolds, UNHCR
The Biden administration has deported hundreds of thousands of migrants since January, largely under Title 42, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) policy (pdf) first invoked in March 2020 during the tenure of former President Donald Trump in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month, the advocacy group Physicians for Human Rights said Title 42 expulsions are causing "profound" physical and mental health harms, with the organization's medical director, Dr. Michele Heisler, reporting that the policy "is ensnaring people in a deadly dilemma, where they are unsafe in their home country, unsafe in Mexico, and yet unable to seek safety at the U.S. border."
On Wednesday, Matthew Reynolds, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative to the United States and the Caribbean, accused the Biden administration of denying refugees and asylum-seekers—many of them people from Central American countries who have endured violence and poverty partially attributable to U.S. policies and actions—access to protection screening before flying them to southern Mexico.
"These expulsion flights of non-Mexicans to the deep interior of Mexico constitute a troubling new dimension in enforcement of the Covid-related public health order known as Title 42," said Reynolds.
"Even where Covid-19 has surged at times, many countries have put in place effective protocols such as systematic health screenings, testing, and quarantine measures that have simultaneously and successfully protected both public health and the human right to seek asylum," he asserted.

Are you contemplating giving your home or business a new look? Do you have to fix water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls where mold was eliminated? It may be tempting to do the task yourself, which can result in cost savings. However, there are many reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator support.
Employing a professional painter and decorator usually means that the painter comes will all the tools they will need to perform the job correctly, will clean up those tools whenever they're done and will require them away to be stored elsewhere.
A professional painter and decorator will have the ideal gear and be educated and experienced with how to protect furniture, flooring, cupboards, paths and other items that you don't want painted from any damage. If your work entails staining, a professional will have the correct equipment and expertise to use the stain properly to attain the perfect finish and once achieved, protect the finish.
A professional painter will also thoroughly clean the work area when the job is completed.
A professional painter and painter will know that preparation is the trick to a good looking, long lasting paint job. Areas with mold or water staining may require further treatment and diluting until they are ready for a last paint job. It is a good deal of work and if it is not done properly with proper instruments and methods, it will not result in a quality finish.
Painting requires patience to generate a beautiful quality finish and in addition, it takes skill that's developed with training and expertise. A professional will understand how to complete all the preparation and painting jobs involved to reach the best effect.
A professional painter will also know the substances that are needed to do the job correctly. Which primer will offer the correct coverage? Latex or oil? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer foundation is demanded? What paint base? Should the wall be well prepared with drywall compound or plaster? Spray or roller?
A professional painter will be able to recommend materials which are best to get the look you want, while avoiding any damage to your surfaces. With that information, you can attain a higher quality finish that will endure.
For exterior jobs, a professional will understand the right weather, temperature and sun conditions to complete the job with all the best results. Stains react differently in direct sunlight than when it is overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain clearly impacts the job, humidity and heat can also impact the quality of outside paint finishes.
Increasing on ladders while attempting to apply paint properly is a skilled job which takes careful attention and focus to avoid severe injury and damage. The greater the site which needs painting, the greater the risk for an accident. For interior jobs with large areas or outside jobs, a professional painter may have all the tools and expertise necessary to perform the work safely and correctly, including the proper size and design of the ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself takes a substantial amount of time. Having a professional painter and decorator deal with the work for you can save you days and times of effort, and can usually be done in a far shorter time period.
A research from Trinity College Dublin indicates the average Irish person requires 28 hours per day to accomplish all his or her tasks. Avoid including a paint job to that and speak to a professional painter about your needs.

Understanding the Path to Citizenship in Ukraine
Citizenship in Ukraine is not easy to obtain. It is possible to apply for Ukrainian citizenship if you were born in Ukraine before 1991, however, there are many requirements and restrictions.
1. citizenship in ukraine
Ukrainian citizens have been granted the right to travel freely throughout Europe since January 1, 2015. Ukraine's accession to the EU was completed on May 25, 2014. In order to become a member of the European Union, Ukraine had to meet certain criteria including having a functioning democracy, guaranteeing human rights, and respecting the rule of law.

Ukraine's passport is currently blue with a white strip across the middle. The current passport design dates back to 2001. The passport contains 32 pages and costs around $60 USD.
Citizens of the following countries do not need visas to enter Ukraine for tourism or business purposes: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City State, and USA.

How You Can Get Ukrainian Citizenship
Are you interested in obtaining Ukrainian Citizenship? It may be possible, depending on your nationality. If you are an immigrant, you may be able to acquire citizenship if you have continuous residence in Ukraine for at least five years, can pass a knowledge test about the country's history and culture, and do not hold the citizenship of any other country. Additionally, it may be possible to receive Ukrainian citizenship through naturalisation or even marriage. Knowing more about how to attain a Ukrainian citizenship is important for those considering living there.
If you would like to become a citizen of Ukraine, there are several paths to do so. Acquiring citizenship can be done through naturalisation, marriage, repatriation or birth. Naturalisation is the most common path and requires that an applicant prove residence in Ukraine for at least five years to obtain citizenship. Marrying a Ukrainian citizen may also lead to citizenship after three years of residency and can be expedited for applicants who have held Ukrainian Residency status for more than three years. Repatriation is available to those of Ukrainian heritage and includes simplified paperwork requirements when compared to regular naturalisation procedures. Finally, if a person is born in Ukraine, they will automatically become a citizen by descent regardless of the nationality of their parents.
Ukrainian citizenship may be acquired by birth, descent, naturalisation or by other means as determined by Ukrainian law. To become a citizen of Ukraine, an individual will generally have to fulfil certain criteria such as living in the country for a given period of time and/or meeting educational requirements. Additionally, citizenship could also be sponsored through employment or family reunification.

The steps to obtaining citizenship vary depending on your current nationality and the method of application. Your eligibility will also be dependent on meeting certain criteria such as fulfilling language requirements or having appropriate financial means. Additionally, certain documents must be submitted which may include proof of legal residence or certificates of acceptance from local authorities. If all of these requirements have been met, then your application for Ukrainian Citizenship can begin!
If you're interested in obtaining Ukrainian citizenship, you'll need to follow a specific set of steps. These include providing evidence of at least a 5 year residency within Ukraine, passing an examination that covers Ukrainian culture, language, history and legislation, and presenting the necessary documents such as a birth certificate and proof of financial stability. You may also be required to renounce any other citizenships you may hold or provide evidence that your current country does not allow for dual citizenship. Once all requirements have been met, you can apply for citizenship in Ukraine!
If you are a foreign national, non-Ukrainian citizen and would like to become a Ukrainian citizen, you must meet certain criteria established by the government in order to apply for citizenship. Depending on your situation, there are several ways to go about applying for Ukrainian citizenship including applying through descent, by investment, or based on travel or residency. The application process involves submitting necessary documents such as passport copies, proof of local residence and an application fee. After the documents have been reviewed and approved by the government, you may be required to take a test or attend an interview before being granted citizenship.

Xiaomi decides it's now popular enough to drop the Mi branding
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has exploded in recent times, becoming the largest phone maker in both Europe and the world—all without a significant presence in the US. Most people know the company for its "Mi" range of devices, but it will be phasing out that sub-brand later this year.
In a statement to XDA Developers, a Xiaomi spokesperson said, "Starting in 2021 Q3, Xiaomi's product series 'Mi' will be renamed to 'Xiaomi.'"
"This change will unify our global brand presence and close the perception gap between the brand and its products. This change may take some time to take effect in all regions."
There were some who predicted such a move was on the cards after Xiaomi launched the latest in its Mi Mix series with the name "Xiaomi Mix 4," dropping the "Mi" branding used in the previous Mix handsets.
Xiaomi's first-ever smartphone, the Mi 1, was launched back in 2011. Company co-founder and CEO Lei Jun said it stands for "Mobile Internet" and "Mission Impossible."
The name change was likely prompted by Xiaomi's stratospheric rise this year. It replaced Apple as the world's second-largest smartphone vendor in July, and it took Samsung's position as the top phone vendor in Europe a month later. A few weeks ago, Xiaomi gained the ultimate title: the largest smartphone vendor globally, its 17.1% market share beating Samsung's 15.7%.
Now that the Xiaomi name is becoming more familiar, it probably felt the time was right to drop the Mi branding—many of its Mi phones are listed as just Xiaomi (or "小米") in China, anyway.
The Redmi and POCO names aren't changing. The company says Xiaomi products "represent the pinnacle of technology and offer a premium experience," while the Redmi products "bring big innovation at a more accessible price point and are aimed at a younger audience."
Xiaomi added that the naming system "will also be applied to our ecosystem and IoT products over time."

Home Health POLICY :Nigeria Scores Big on fight against Tobacco
POLICY :Nigeria Scores Big on fight against Tobacco
By Remi Adebayo
NIGERIA'S long battle to limit use of tobacco in Africa's most populous nation, which has resulted in needless deaths is gaining ground.
This comes after the country's Parliament recently approved to implement regulations stated in the National Tobacco Control Act (NTCA) 2015, a move considered to be a parting public health gift by the eighth National Assembly.
The endorsement of the regulation now moves Nigeria ahead in the fight against tobacco products' use, especially among minors, if enforced.
The NTCA 2015 was signed into law by former president Goodluck Jonathan but implementation was stuck due to a provision that required compulsory parliamentary approval before it could be fully enforced.
A lot of advocacy and pressure took place to push for a parliamentary nod in order to reduce the number of smokers and the accompanying deaths but more importantly stop under aged Nigerians from accessing the hazardous product.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) more than eight million lives are lost globally each year from tobacco use, of which more than seven million are direct users while the remaining 1.2 million victims are non-smokers exposed to second hand smoking.
In Nigeria, statistics show that more than 5.6 million adults and 25 000 children use tobacco each day, accounting for the deaths of about 16 100 citizens annually.
Sadly, tobacco is not illegal in many nations although it has been proven to be one of the biggest health threats faced in the world.
No wonder, environmentalists and public health advocates have risked everything, including threats to their lives from notable tobacco companies, to continue pushing for control of tobacco and possibly discourage usage.
Deputy Executive Director in the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN), Akinbode Oluwafemi lamented that weak regulations hindered smooth implementation of the tobacco laws despite the presence of the NTCA.
"Tobacco related deaths are needless and avoidable but continue occurring because the tobacco industry exploits the partial implementation of the NTCA to unleash more lethal and innovative products into the Nigerian market. Their products entice young children and conscript them into smoking for life," he said.
The environmentalist said time has been due for Parliament to approve the regulatory document and was optimistic Nigeria's Senate would also follow suit and complement these efforts.
Oluwafem said as a signatory to WHO's Framework Convention, Nigeria required strong regulations, recommending that the country moves to speedy approve and implement the NTCA regulations.
Environmentalists concurred that by doing so, the Parliament was safeguarding the economy, life, safety and health of every Nigerian.
Similarly, Hilda Ochefu, Sub-Regional Coordinator from West Africa of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, believed that the full implementation of the law would reduce access to tobacco products by children and prevent unnecessary deaths of both primary and secondary smokers.
"When children have access to tobacco products, they are likely to smoke them because most youths are introduced to smoking before the age of 10," she said.
Ebiuwa Uwagboe, a campaign specialist working with Gatefield, disclosed worrisome figures that the reported 25 000 Nigerian children exposed to daily use of tobacco products consist of minors between the age 10 to 14.
This indicates that an average of 17 children indulge in smoking every minute in Nigeria.
Her words: "Children must be protected as they lack capacity and are often unwittingly targets of the tobacco industry."
Just before the Senate could finally agree to the regulations, 48 civil rights group, sponsored by the Africa Tobacco Control Civil Society Organisations demanded that the lawmakers fully adopt strong Tobacco Control Regulations to protect future generations from dire health and socio-economic consequences of tobacco use.
The activists, in their petition, said the adoption of the regulations was critical for effective implementation of the NTCA and provide Nigeria a unique opportunity to align with the requirements of WHO guidelines on tobacco control.
This action, they said would demonstrate Nigeria's global leadership in tobacco control and fulfil pending laws set in 2005 that paved way to control the growing epidemic of tobacco use.
The matter attracted widespread attention and became a big issue involving the Africa Tobacco Control Alliance, Africa Centre for Tobacco Industry Monitoring and Policy Research, ERA/FoEN; Framework Convention Alliance and Observatoire du tabac en Afrique Francophone.
Others groups such as the Vision for Alternative Development, Health Healing Network in Burundi, Coalition Camerounaise Contre le Tabac, Kenya Tobacco Control Alliance, Consumer Information Network, Mozambique Public Health Association, among others, also showed concern and desire to witness a new era that spearheaded stronger tobacco implementations in Nigeria.
When the NTCA was finally approved, there was elation from all corners and praised the Nigerian lawmakers for not failing the nation.
A joint statement issued by the Nigeria Tobacco Control Alliance and the ERA/FoEN described the move as a parting gift that would fully operationalise the NTCA safeguard current and future generation of Nigerians from tobacco harms.
Under the NTCA, licensing of tobacco products, duration of the license, sizes of pictographs and graphic health warnings on tobacco packs can now be addressed.
It was noted that tobacco companies deliberately position tobacco products, adverts and signs close to school perimetres, within 100 metres, to stimulate children's interests.
The ministries of health, education and information are now urged to make sure they prioritise banning of advertisements and sales of tobacco within the aforementioned distance of all schools in Nigeria, in compliance with the law.
Working with other relevant enforcement agencies, these ministries are supposed to make sure they embark on a drive to ban the advertising, promotion, sponsorship, selling of tobacco products away from schools.
The NTCA regulatory development also called a ban on single sticks and cigarette packs with less than 20 sticks.
National Coordinator of the Nigeria Tobacco Research Group, Akindele Adebiyi, commended the move as a giant step towards protecting children from the deliberate marketing tactics of the tobacco companies.
He pleaded with relevant agencies to put necessary mechanisms in place to guarantee immediate attention and enforcement.
Coordinator of Nigerian Tobacco Control Alliance, Oluseun Esan, also hailed the NTCA approval as a step in the right direction.
He hoped authorities would collaborate to implement and monitor the NTCA in order to prevent the reversal of the gains.
Some tobacco smokers interviewed by Montage Africa concurred controlling exposure to cigarettes was a worthy cause.
"The law will do more to safeguard those who are not yet hooked while those already addicted will go the extra mile to access the products even at higher costs," said one respondent.
One Ahmed believed the regulation would make him reduce number of packs he smoked on a daily basis.

Home Local News Council set to reaffirm their support for Wellesbourne Airfield
Council set to reaffirm their support for Wellesbourne Airfield
Ben Lugg
Wellesbourne Airfield
The fight to prevent Wellesbourne Airfield from being developed into housing is set to be given a boost today, Monday, with Stratford-on-Avon District Council expected to reaffirm their commitment to maintaining the airfield.
The Littler Family, who own the airfield, are keen to build up to 1,500 homes on the site, with developer Gladman Homes, attempting to push the plan forward, despite significant opposition.
Back in December the district council took decisive action to remove permitted development rights, which had left the airfield owners able to demolish buildings on the site.
The council acted amid fears from airfield businesses that demolition works could begin at any time.
By using permitted development rights, the landowners would have been able to bypass the usual planning process required to carry out demolition works.
At today's cabinet meeting, Stratford District Council are expected to confirm its Article 4 Direction (which removes permitted development rights).
Although the order immediately took effect in December, the council is required to consider objections submitted during a set timeframe, before it can confirm the order.
An objection to the order has been submitted from the Smith Partnership, which represents Littler Investments, Gladman Homes and others involved in the ownership of the airfield.
The letter objected on a number of grounds, stating that the original order was made with no prior consultation and had a considerable impact on the landowners and was based on a false premise that the matter was urgent.
The letter also disputes the number of jobs that would be lost if the airfield was to become housing and says that the existing tenants have been given sufficient time to look at alternative options to continue their businesses.
Despite the objections the council looks set to back up its commitment in the Core Strategy to retain and support the enhancement of Wellesbourne Airfield, by confirming the Article 4 Direction on Monday.
Although a report put before the Cabinet by planning officers admits the threat of demolition does not appear imminent, it states that officers believe there is good reason to confirm the Article 4 Direction in the interests of the proper planning of the area.
The news will be welcomed by businesses at the airfield, who are currently in the middle of a protracted legal battle to extend their leases and safeguard flying at the site.
Rodney Galiffe, who owns the South Warwickshire Flying School at Wellesbourne Airfield, said: "I'm very pleased that this recommendation is being put before the cabinet, but we will have to wait and see what they do on the day. I'm going to attend the meeting and see what happens."
Mike Roberts, who runs Take Flight Aviation at Wellesbourne Airfield, added: "Nothing has really changed since the council made the order in December and we're very pleased that it will hopefully be made permanent. It's very good news and we welcome the council's continued support."
Back in December the prospect of the council investigating the compulsory purchase of the airfield was put forward as an option, to ward off the threat from housing developers.
However the report to the cabinet says no further steps have been taken in this direction yet by the authority, but does say a further report will be brought to the Cabinet in due course providing an update on any negotiations to purchase the site and possible next steps.

The RNC Can Legally Dump Donald Trump but It Has to Act Fast
One word in the party's rules would let it create a vacancy and fill it—like say, declaring the candidate mentally unfit. Then it gets interesting.
Jay Michaelson
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast
What would happen if the GOP dumped Donald Trump?
Top party officials are reportedly exploring options on how to replace the Republican nominee should he exit the race. But suppose, on top of his Gold Star-family insulting, almost-treason encouraging, and baby expelling, Trump were to really cross some line, whatever that might be, and GOP leaders decide they can't support him anymore. Nor do they just want to disown the Republican nominee; suppose they want him off the ballot. Could they do it?
Or, imagine if Trump himself that sees he's about to get shellacked (by a woman, no less) and to save himself the humiliation, blames the rigged system and drops out. Again, unlikely—but not impossible to imagine. What then?
I asked Nathaniel Persily, Stanford law professor and a pre-eminent scholar of election law (and, lucky for me, an old friend), what would happen if Trump were to quit, or to be formally dumped by the GOP. Could someone else be the Republican choice for president?
His answer? "Yes—but it depends on timing." And there are three sets of rules that affect what would happen next.
1. Party Rules
First, Persily explained, are the party's own rules.
The Republican Party rules states that "the Republican National Committee is hereby authorized and empowered to fill any and all vacancies which may occur by reason of death, declination, or otherwise of the Republican candidate for President of the United States or the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States." They could do this by calling a new convention, or, more likely, casting votes remotely.
So in case of a Trump withdrawal, Persily said, "you can either redo the convention or, more likely, the RNC itself would just re-nominate a candidate."
What about a Trump Dump?
Here, it's uncharted territory, and Persily doesn't think the RNC has much room to maneuver. But notice that weasel-word "otherwise" in the RNC rules. That basically allows the RNC to come up with any reason to declare the spot vacant. For example, they could, following President Obama, deem him unfit for office – as in, mentally unfit. Or they could hold a vote of no confidence. No doubt, if Trump is fighting them, that would be a bumpy road, possibly involving litigation. It might be easier for leaders to endorse Gary Johnson and move on. But because of that word "otherwise," it's likely within the RNC's power to dump Trump even without his consent. Then they would be able to fill the "vacancy" by majority vote.
Interestingly, that person could be anyone. Mike Pence does not automatically move up the ticket. On the contrary, unless Pence drops out (or is similarly found to be unfit, which seems impossible), he remains the nominee for Vice President, which, after all, is a separate office and a separate nomination. Most likely, the GOP's knight in shining armor, House Speaker Paul Ryan, would be a leading candidate for a last-minute substitution.
So, within the GOP rules, it's not hard to replace Trump if he drops out, and it's not impossible to kick him off the ticket because of the word "otherwise."
2. State Ballot Rules
Then it gets trickier.
Right now, Donald Trump's name is set to appear on the ballots of 50 states. "So you have questions about ballot access," Persily said. "There are deadlines in the state laws and that's a state-by-state finding."
Arkansas and Oklahoma require names to be certified by Aug. 10, for example, North Carolina by Aug. 5. Delaware's ship has already sailed; they require certification the week after the national convention takes place. So in those states, even if the RNC duly voted for his replacement, it would simply be too late to take his name off the ballot.
In other states, though, the RNC has as late as Sept. 21 (Alaska) to replace the names on the ballot. "If it happens in August," Persily said, "it's not really a big problem."
In September, if Trump were to quit or get fired, it's possible that his name would be on some state ballots but not on others. And in October, it's too late to take him off the ballot.
Now, just because someone's on the ballot doesn't mean they are necessarily in the running. There have been congressional races in which candidates have died while on the ballot. In New York, for example, veteran Congressman Ted Weiss passed away shortly before the 1992 election. Democrats hastily nominated Assemblyman Jerrold Nadler, and even though voters cast their ballots for Weiss, Nadler received the votes. He's been in Congress ever since.
Presidential elections are different, however, because, as you may recall from the 2000 election, we don't elect our presidents directly. Actually, voters in each state choose electors who formally vote for president in the Electoral College. And so we have to look to a third set of rules.
3. Electoral College Rules
Suppose Trump quits in October. It's too late to modify the ballots, but the RNC hastily meets on Skype and puts Paul Ryan's name in the hat. It's all over the news, and in some states, there could even be notices at polling stations: "Voting for Trump actually means voting for Ryan." But still, those voters are pulling the lever by Trump's name. What happens now?
The question, Persily explains, is whether state electors are pledged to the individual candidate, or to the party that nominated him or her.
"Would Donald Trump's electors be able to vote for someone else in the Electoral College? Most states say yes—you vote for whoever the party has nominated."
Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming go by candidate. Here's Maine, for example: "The presidential electors at large shall cast their ballots for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who received the largest number of votes in the State."
So in those states, if Trump says he's running, and his name is on the ballot, those electors have to vote for Trump. Conceivably, if Trump withdraws of his own accord, courts might rule that Trump wasn't really the "candidate" anymore, even though he was the name on the ballot. But that isn't entirely certain.
More states, though, go by party, including Alaska, California, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, as well as the District of Columbia. Hawaii's statute, for example, says that "The electors, when convened, if both candidates are alive, shall vote by ballot for that person for president and that person for vice president of the United States, who are, respectively, the candidates of the political party or group which they represent."
In those states, the state GOP could well say "As duly confirmed at the RNC meeting, Donald Trump is not the nominee of the Republican Party. Electors must vote for the actual nominee, Paul Ryan."
In sum, right up until Nov. 7, the Republican Party could dump Trump by declaring him unfit for office, reconvening, and nominating someone else. But it would get messier depending on how long they wait.
If Trump withdraws, there's really no problem, legally speaking, even at the last minute. While his name would be on the ballot, electors would vote for the party's actual nominee, or courts would declare Trump no longer the "candidate."
All this, of course, is unprecedented. And obviously, the political upheaval would be far more significant than the legal provisions in play. "It's not likely," Persily says of the legal machinations. "But who thought that Trump was likely?"


I've finished them, or rather I did last night and have been wearing them todyay and I'm ofcourse talking about these little beauties.... Well I think they're beauties anyway.
Not knitted fair isle socks before and got plans for my second pair already. Just got to decide on the yarn. I've got enough of the purple yarns to make another pair in the variegated yarn with the fair isle bit in the solid purple so may go for that as Ilove this colour.
The socks fit perfectly althoug hthe cuff is a bit tight when I pull it over my ankles they're perfect when they're on and so comfy to wear.
Also working on this shawl at the moment. I'm caling it River Valley at the moment as they zig zag lace reminds me of rivers and there is a bit of a 'hill' between each lace section so it looks like it's a river in a valley. The yarn is Posh Sophia 4ply whihc is so lovely to knit with. I'm just hoping i've got neough as I've nearly finished the first skein and only have one left. Not decided on the border yet, still waiting for inspiration.
Yay on the completed socks! They look wonderful, and I'm glad they feel comfortable when you wear them. The shawl is looking great, and I love the colours in the yarn.
Anni (you are prolific!) The sock is lovely, very good colours indeed. Glad they fit. I have a couple of pairs I've made that are a bit of a fight to get on over my heel, but then fit rather nicely all day - the jaywalkers I made in celestial merino, and the bright green wyvern socks.
The colours in these pics much more accurate - FAB socks - fetching design... My fairisle socks are the same - tight to get on over my heel but snug and comfy when they're on (which is what counts).

People with Happy Spouses may Live Longer: See reasons and Study
For about up to 8 years, participants and their spouses reported on life satisfaction and various factors hypothesized to be related to mortality.
Having a happy spouse not only leads to a longer marriage, but may also be key to a longer life, a study claims. The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, shows that spousal life satisfaction was associated with mortality, regardless of individuals' socioeconomic or physical health status.
Spouses' life satisfaction was an even better predictor of participants' mortality than participants' own life satisfaction. Participants who had a happy partner at the beginning of the study were less likely to pass away over the next 8 years compared with participants who had less happy partners.
"The findings underscore the role of individuals' immediate social environment in their health outcomes. Most importantly, it has the potential to extend our understanding of what makes up individuals' 'social environment' by including the personality and well-being of individuals' close ones," said Olga Stavrova, a researcher at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.
Life satisfaction is known to be associated with behaviours that can affect health, including diet and exercise, and people who have a happy, active spouse, for example, are likely to have an active lifestyle themselves.
The opposite is also likely to be true, said Stavrova.
"If your partner is depressed and wants to spend the evening eating chips in front of the TV — that's how your evening will probably end up looking, as well," she said.
Stavrova examined data from about 4,400 couples in the US who were over the age of 50. The survey collected data on participants who had spouses or live-in partners; 99 per cent of the sampled couples were heterosexual.
For up to 8 years, participants and their spouses reported on life satisfaction and various factors hypothesized to be related to mortality, including perceived partner support and frequency of physical activity.
They also completed a self-rated health measure and provided information related to their morbidity (as measured by number of doctor-diagnosed chronic conditions), gender, age at the beginning of the study, ethnicity, education, household income, and partner mortality.
At the end of 8 years, about 16 per cent of participants had died. Those who died tended to be older, male, less educated, less wealthy, less physically active, and in poorer health than those who were still alive.
Those who died also tended to report lower relationship satisfaction, lower life satisfaction, and having a partner who also reported lower life satisfaction.
The spouses of participants who died were also more likely to pass away within the 8-year observation period than were spouses of participants who were still living.
The findings suggest that greater partner life satisfaction at the beginning of the study was associated with lower participant mortality risk.
Specifically, the risk of mortality for participants with a happy spouse increased more slowly than mortality risk for participants with an unhappy spouse.
The association between partner life satisfaction and mortality risk held even after accounting for major sociodemographic variables, self-rated health and morbidity, and partner mortality.

Teaching pro who honed his game watching internet has qualified for PGA Tour season opener
Taylor Lowe walked on to his college golf team at Sonoma State in California, but never played a competitive round. He sold wine, took a five-year break from competing and worked in the cart barn at El Macero Country Club outside of Sacramento. And on that same course on Monday, Lowe, rather improbably, qualified to play in his first PGA Tour event.
The 30-year-old teaching pro made seven birdies and an eagle in shooting eight-under-par 64 in the Monday qualifier for this week's PGA Tour season-opening Fortinet Championship in Napa, Calif. Three others made the field on the day, including four-time tour winner Aaron Baddeley.
Lowe, who teaches at the public Wildhorse Golf Club in Davis, told PGATour.com that he was scrambling to reschedule the 15 to 20 lessons he planned to teach this week. He also works in the pro shop and writes up the schedule.
"If you're playing good, you know you can do it," Lowe said. "You definitely visualize and all that stuff … but I'm still in shock. It's definitely surreal for sure."
Lowe was a competitive junior golfer, but said injuries derailed him. He walked on at Sonoma, but couldn't break into the starting lineup.
"If you look it up online, you won't see my picture on the roster or anything," Lowe said. "I was hacking it up, but I got to practice with the team. I was on the team; I could've qualified to play in the events, but I never played well enough to do that."
He was working at El Macero fetching carts and picking the range when a high school friend's family purchased Wildhorse. He moved to there and became an instructor.
As for getting his own coaching, Lowe has got a pretty decent teacher in George Gankas … sort of. He's never actually met Gankas, who has more than 100,000 Instgram followers and a list of students that includes Will Zalatoris and Matthew Wolff.
"I just watched George Gankas on Instagram; I'm not kidding," Lowe said. "Growing up, taking some golf lessons here and there, I was swinging a certain way. And then I watched some videos of George Gankas on Instagram like five years ago and started playing a lot better."
Lowe's odds of making the cut are as long as they were for him to quaify in the first place, but he sure eems like a guy we've gotta root for.

Report: Mavericks interested in acquiring big man Lauri Markkanen
Orel Dizon
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
The Dallas Mavericks have already had a pretty busy offseason thus far.
However, it seems that the team may not be done making moves. It is reportedly considering bringing in Finnish big man Lauri Markkanen.
"One other team to watch for Markkanen is the Dallas Mavericks," said The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor on a recent episode of his podcast. "I've heard they also have interest, so there's some sign-and-trade possibilities involving him with Charlotte and Dallas."
Markkanen, who was drafted in 2017, is currently a restricted free agent. The Chicago Bulls have the right to match any offer the power forward might receive this offseason. However, he may want a change of scenery to continue his NBA career.
The 7-footer could certainly help out several teams because of his combination of height and skills. He has career averages of 15.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He has also made 36.6 percent of his 3-point shots.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Markkanen privately wanted to join the Mavs. So it seems that there is mutual interest between the two parties.

Als Schlachtfest wurde und wird die feierliche gemeinschaftliche Schlachtung eines Tieres bezeichnet, der nicht selten ein Festmahl folgt.

Geschichte

Das gemeinschaftliche Zerlegen und Essen von erlegten Tieren kann durch Aschen- und Knochenfunde bis in die Altsteinzeit nachgewiesen werden. Zuerst wurde die Erlegung eines Tieres durch die Jagd feierlich begangen, mit der Domestikation verlagerte sich der Brauch zunehmend zur Feier der Schlachtung eines aufwändig und über einen langen Zeitraum gemästeten Tieres, das für die ganze Dorf- oder Clangemeinschaft – oder auch nur eine Familie – meist etwas Besonderes war. Das zu schlachtende Tier wurde vor dem Schlachten reich geschmückt und nicht selten vor der Tötung von einem religiösen Würdenträger gesegnet, um die Besonderheit des Augenblickes zu verstärken, aus Urfehde und/oder um böse Geister vom Fleisch und somit von den späteren Verzehrenden fernzuhalten. Parallelen können zum religiösen Opferfest oder rituellen Opferungen gezogen werden, auch wenn da der Nahrungserwerb eher nebensächlich war und ist.

Im alten Griechenland wurden bei Schlachtungen und Opferungen Knochen und Fett des Tiers verbrannt, um die Götter gnädig zu stimmen oder ihnen auch (in ihrem Glauben verankert) dadurch Nahrung zu liefern. So wird in der Ilias von Homer mehrfach erwähnt, dass Odysseus Vieh schlachten lässt, aber nicht explizit nur zur reinen Opferung. Die Überschneidung zwischen Schlacht- und Opferfest wird sichtbar, da er nur einige Fleischstücke zu Ehren der Götter verbrennt, den Rest des Fleisches aber mit seinen Männern teilt. In der Segnung kann man eventuell noch animistische Reste eines Jagdzaubers bzw. der Bändigung und Beschwörung des Tiergeistes sehen, der noch in einigen Ethnischen Religionen vorkommt. So wird durch die Segnung das Tier auch um Entschuldigung gebeten, dass es jetzt zum Nahrungserwerb sein eigenes Leben lassen muss. Das Schlachtfest kann somit auch als ein Leichenschmaus zu Ehren des Tieres gesehen werden. In Steinzeithöhlen wie der Höhle von Lascaux sind ausgiebige Wandmalereien und Felszeichnungen zu sehen, deren Ursprung wohl in diesem Zwiespalt zu suchen ist, einerseits das Tier zum Fortbestand der eigenen Art töten zu müssen, andererseits der Wunsch, durch den Verzehr des Fleisches die Stärke des Tieres aufzunehmen bzw. den Geist des Tieres gnädig zu stimmen, um die Geisterwelt nicht gegen sich aufzubringen.

Aus Schlachtfesten entwickelte sich auch die amerikanische Barbecue-Tradition.

Gegenwart

In manchen Gegenden Deutschlands, z. B. in Bayern, Franken und Teilen der Pfalz, war und ist die Hausschlachtung eines selbst aufgezogenen Schweins oder eines für die Schlachtung gekauften Schweins durch einen Privathaushalt oder eine Gastwirtschaft ein Fest, das als Schlachtfest bezeichnet und gefeiert wird. Zu einem Schlachtfest in der Pfalz gehören Wurstsuppe, Pfälzer Leberwurst, Blutwurst, Bratwurst, Leberknödel, Schweinepfeffer, Kesselfleisch und Sauerkraut. Üblich war bei einer Hausschlachtung, dass Metzelsuppe an die Nachbarn verschenkt wurde, die diese oft mit Milchkannen abholten. Oft kauften die Nachbarn dann auch etwas von den frischen Würsten oder erhielten für geleistete Mithilfe bei der Verarbeitung des Fleisches einen Anteil. Getrunken wird in der Pfalz Wein. Auch die Hausschlachtung einer Gastwirtschaft wird dort als Schlachtfest bezeichnet. Im Dorf wusste jeder Bescheid, Auswärtige konnten das Schlachtfest an einer draußen aufgehängten aufgeblasenen Schweinsblase erkennen. Vereinzelt wird dies in Dörfern heute noch praktiziert.

Das Gestalten der Hausschlachtung und Verschenken von Metzelsuppe und Würsten an Familienmitglieder und Nachbarn war und ist noch heute im deutschsprachigen Raum allgemein üblich.

In Österreich wird ein Schlachtfest meist als Sautanz bezeichnet.

Ghiora Aharoni - Works
Inception, 2015
Photograph on Archival Paper
40 x 40 inches (framed)
Ghiora Aharoni founded his multi-disciplinary studio for art, interior design and furniture design in New York City in 2004.
Aharoni's artworks are characterized by an interest in exploring dualities, such as the intersection of religion and science, or the relationship between nature and architectural form. Many of his works take traditional objects or symbols—such as sacred texts or cultural artifacts—and subvert or synthesize them in ways that question their conventional context.
His artwork and art installations have been exhibited in New York and India, and are in private collections in the U.S., India and Europe. Aharoni's solo museum exhibition, Missives, opened the fall 2013 season at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum (formerly The Victoria & Albert Museum) in Mumbai, India. In early 2012, Aharoni created a Hebrabic/Arabrew© script (a combination of the Hebrew and Arabic alphabets). In May of the same year, he was commissioned to create a large-scale art installation with the script, The Divine Domesticated, at the 14thStreet Y in Manhattan. Four panels from the installation were permanently installed that fall in the theater lobby of the Y.
In 2010, a permanent, site-specific installation of photographs from Aharoni's Munnar Series, which capture the spontaneous patterns and vibrant topographies of Indian tea plantations, was commissioned for the lobby of a Manhattan landmark building. Aharoni's furniture designs and commissioned pieces are also in numerous private collections. His most recent design, the Jobim 276 coffee table, was introduced at the Collective Design Fair in New York in May of this year.
Since establishing his studio, Aharoni has also designed many architectural projects in New York—ranging from the DeKooning residence and a duplex penthouse in the West Village to a storefront studio/performance space in Williamsburg and the offices of an art law firm on 57th Street.
Prior to opening his own studio, Aharoni worked at several distinguished architectural firms including Polshek Partnership [now known as Ennead Architects] and Studio Daniel Libeskind. While at Polshek Partnership, he worked on the design for Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall; the space planning and design of The American Museum of Natural History's subterranean entrance and public spaces; as well as the space planning of The New York Botanical Garden's Museum Building.
His design work for Studio Daniel Libeskind included the competition submission for The Ground Zero World Trade Center Design Study, and the façade design for Hyundai Development Company, Seoul, Korea. In addition, Aharoni was on the winning design competition team with Zaha Hadid and Arata Isozaki for the building and urban planning of Milan, Italy's Fiera Convention Center.
Articles about Aharoni's work have been published internationally in books, newspapers, journals and magazines including The New York Times Magazine, Elle Decor U.K., Architectural Digest Spain, Art India, IDEAT, Elle Decor Italia and New York Magazine. His essay proposing the displacement of Jerusalem's monuments was included in the book "The Next Jerusalem." He holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and is a summa cum laude graduate of The Spitzer School of Architecture at City College.
