Oman: Your friendly Gulf go-between
December 7, 2013 March 18, 2017 Posted in history, world affairs
As it turns out, the Iranian nuclear deal that has Saudi royals so concerned was made possible by the country that is probably Saudi Arabia's most nondescript neighbor: Oman. The year-long series of secret talks that were held between negotiators from the United States and Iran were mostly held in Oman and were mediated by the ruler of Oman, Sultan Qaboos b. Saʿid al-Saʿid, who worked back channels to, among other things, secure the release of the three American hikers who were arrested in 2009 for crossing the border into Iran illegally and (in the case of two of the three hikers) were held in Iran until September 2011. Oman has maintained good relations with Iran while the rest of the countries on the Arabian peninsula have not (more on that in a bit), so they made a natural, and apparently very effective, go between for the two belligerents.
Oman is not a country that carries a lot of weight on the world stage, particularly compared to its neighbors on the Arabian peninsula. The Saudis, between their oil wealth and their control of Mecca and Medina, are the 800 pound gorilla of the Arab world. Only Egypt has the size and strength to match the Saudis, and in case you haven't noticed, the Saudis are kind of funding Egypt's government at the moment. Qatar is ridiculously wealthy and keeps throwing that money around the region, aiding some Syrian Salafi rebels here, propping up the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt there, and so on. Bahrain doesn't have a lot of global heft, but what it does have is a nasty internal conflict between its Sunni rulers and its Shiʿi majority that threatens to become worse all the time. Yemen is a destabilized mess and home to probably the only branch of Al-Qaeda that still pays attention to nominal AQ boss Ayman al-Zawahiri and is also the only AQ branch known to have expanded its interests to attacking targets in the west, so they're definitely on everybody's radar. The United Arab Emirates don't boast a lot of natural resources like the Saudis and Qataris do, but they do have Dubai, arguably the most ostentatious city in the world.
Oman, meanwhile, just kind of quietly sits there amidst all these heavy-hitters and/or basket cases. There's some oil and gas, but not all that much relatively speaking (Oman ranks in the 20ths in the world in both oil and gas production). It's an absolute monarchy with little or no rule of law and seriously curtailed civil liberties. Nonetheless, it saw some Arab Spring-related protests in 2011 that basically revolved around calls for higher wages and a bit more authority for the elected part of the legislature, and that's it. Qaboos was never in danger of facing an outright revolution like what happened in Libya, Egypt, and Syria. It's a fairly small country, ranking 16th of the 22 Arab League member states in population. But it does have a rich history and culture, and I happen to like the place (I spent a long weekend there as a tourist about 10 years ago–see some of my photos here and here–when I was living in the Gulf and was really floored by how much I enjoyed the country), so I'll seize on any excuse I can find to write about it. Join me below for a little look at Oman.
Oman's geography and climate look mostly like the rest of Arabia; it is very hot and very arid, with lots of desert in the interior and running between mountain ranges in the north (the Hajar Mountains) and south (the Dhofar Mountains), and coastline running from the Strait of Hormuz along the Gulf of Oman and then along the Arabian Sea up to the border with Yemen. Oman controls the tip of the peninsula, known as Musandam, that jettisons out into the Strait and is actually home to a small Iranic-speaking group called the Kumzari, probably descendents of Persian fishermen who settled in the Musandam area in ancient times. Musandam is separated from the rest of Oman by a strip of land belonging to the United Arab Emirates, which itself contains one enclave controlled by Oman (technically the entire UAE-Oman border is undefined, but the two countries seem to get along regardless). Apart from the north, around Muscat, and the south, around Salalah, most of this coastline is barren and undeveloped. Oman's coastline is increasingly threatened by oil washing up from the ship traffic going to and from the Strait of Hormuz as well as rising levels of soil salinity as seawater seeps into the groundwater table. What makes Oman unique, for Arabia, is that its southern extremes, around Salalah, are annually subject heavy summer rains during the Indian Ocean monsoon season. For the three months when the monsoon rains hit Salalah, it is probably the greenest spot on the whole peninsula (at least if you exclude those places where Gulf energy money has paid for extravagant watering systems). Of the plant life that thrives on these monsoon rains, the most important is the frankincense tree, supplying the incense trade that was historically (i.e., prior to the discovery of fossil fuels) one of the two (along with seafaring) pillars of the region's economy.
Archeology suggests that humans were settling in the area that is now Oman during the Paleolithic Era, probably as part of the earliest human migrations out of Africa, across the then-much smaller Red Sea and into the (probably) lush Arabian peninsula, starting in what is now Yemen and branching out from there. The earliest written evidence of human activity in Oman is probably found in 3rd millennium BCE Sumerian records of a region called Majan (or Makkan), which was known for its copper production and was probably located where Oman is now. The Quran talks about a kingdom known as ʿAd that may have thrived in the 2nd millennium BCE in eastern Yemen and Oman, mostly on the back of the incense trade. According to the Quran, the ʿAd were very powerful but lacked piety; they were sent a prophet named Hud who exhorted them to change their sinful ways, but failed to heed his words and were destroyed by God in a sandstorm. With the rise of the successive Persian Empires in the first millennium BCE, Oman came under their sway and remained so until the arrival of envoys from Medina in the 7th century, who brought with them the message of Muhammad.
It should be noted that for most of its history since the arrival of Islam, the territory we call Oman today was considered two separate entities: "Muscat," or the area around the city Muscat including the entire strip of land along the Gulf of Oman and north of the Hajar Mountains, and "Oman" or "Oman Proper," which is effectively everything else. These entities were ruled separately until 1749. The interior was ruled for most of its history by an Imam of the Ibadi branch of Islam, which is distinct from both Sunni and Shiʿi Islam and is still the religionmpracticed by most (around 75%) Omanis today. The Ibadi formed probably as a reform splinter group of the Kharijites, whom you may remember as the folks who assassinated Ali back in 661, although official Ibadi history contends that the Ibadis and Kharijites share a common precursor but that they went their separate ways before Ali's murder. The Ibadis share the basic Kharijite belief that anyone can become the imam (or caliph depending on your perspective) regardless of his ancestry, so long as he demonstrates that his piety is unmatched (in practice the imams were elected by their followers). They dissociate themselves with those who are deemed to be sinners or unbelievers (kafir, the act of declaring someone an unbeliever is takfir), which is a moderation of Kharijite doctrine requiring that unbelievers and sinners be put to death. Despite the Ibadis' historical connection to the folks who killed Ali, the Ibadi rejection of Sunni Islam and its status as an at risk Islamic minority gives Ibadism a natural affinity with Shiʿism. This has meant that the Ibadi homeland, Oman, stayed on relatively good terms with Shiʿite Iran even after the 1979 Islamic Revolution (Oman's very deep historical ties to Iran also contribute to the close relations between the two countries). That's why Sultan Qaboos was able to work as a mediator between the US and Iran, where our other allies in the Arab World likely could not or would not have done so.
The power of the Ibadi Imams waxed and waned for centuries, and when it waned Oman came under the sway of foreign empires, like the Ismaili Qarmatians based in eastern Arabia and Bahrain during the 10th century and the Seljuks during the 11th and 12th centuries, or local tribes, like the Nabhanis from the 12th-17th centuries. The Yaruba, who deposed the last Nabhani ruler in 1624, unified the Ibadi imamate with the temporal authority that the Nabhanis had held, and ruled both Oman and Muscat in the 17th and 18th centuries. For much of this time Muscat was actually under the authority of the Portuguese, who conquered the city in 1507 and held it, save for a couple of short periods of Ottoman control, until the Yaruba imam Sultan b. Sayf ousted them in 1650. It was under the fourth Yaruba Imam, Sayf b. Sultan (d. 1711) that Oman began to establish itself as a major regional power by driving the Portuguese off the East African coast and becoming the dominant power from the southern part of Arabia all the way down the African coast to modern-day Tanzania. The island of Zanzibar was the main outlet for the East African slave trade and quickly became the most important part of this new Omani Empire. The decline of the Yaruba in the mid-1700s opened the door to Iranian control of the northern coastal regions (Muscat and its environs), but that was short-lived due to the efforts of the governor of Suhar, a city about 125 miles north of Muscat along the coast.
This governor, Ahmad b. Saʿid al-Busaʿidi (d. 1783), resisted Iranian attempts to take Suhar in the early 1740s and forced the Iranians to reconfirm his position as governor, which he used to expand his local prestige and support until he was able to drive the Iranians out of even Muscat in 1747. A short conflict with the last Yaruba imam ended in 1749 with the imam's death and Ahmad's election as the new imam, reunifying Muscat and Oman and establishing the dynasty that still rules the country today. The fifth Busaʿidi sultan, Saʿid b. Sultan, ruled from 1804 to 1856 and after his death the empire split, with Zanzibar and East African being governed separately from Muscat and Oman. The real problem, however, was the British decision to outlaw slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833, which had a bit of a negative effect on the Omani economy in the same way that that fire had a bit of a negative effect on the Hindenburg. Much of the population of Oman migrated to East Africa, which was then pried away from Omani control by the British (although Zanzibar was nominally a part of Oman until 1964). The Busaʿidis were mired in a series of internal conflicts with a reestablished Ibadi Imamate in the interior, which lasted from the 1860s until 1959 when, with British help, the army of Sultan Saʿid b. Taymur (d. 1972) forced the last Ibadi Imam, Ghalib b. Ali al-Hinali, into exile in Saudi Arabia, where he died in 2009.
Under Saʿid b. Taymur the first Omani oil reserves were discovered in 1964, but a leftist revolt threatened to overthrown the Busaʿidis entirely until Saʿid was deposed by his son, Qaboos b. Saʿid, in 1970. Qaboos put down the rebellion and modernized Oman's government, creating a consultative assembly to review legislation and delegating authority to his cabinet. Qaboos has pursued a slow, but steady, course of modernization (including allowing women to vote in and stand for election to the assembly in 1997) as well as a diplomacy built around maintaining relations with everybody (he somehow managed to maintain ties with Iraq despite actively aiding coalition forces during the Gulf War).
As I mentioned above, Oman saw some Arab Spring protests related to greater popular participation in government and a general discontent with Oman's economy. Qaboos responded by giving the assembly some legislative powers, by expanding the Omani social welfare apparatus and pledging to increase job creation, and also by, uh, throwing some activists in prison and torturing them. Oman is still ultimately an absolute monarchy and rights like free speech and free assembly are not well-protected, but its human rights record is mixed with respect to women, children, migrants, and prisoners. Qaboos has no heir, so it will be up to the royal family to select a successor when he passes, and that could prove destabilizing but only time will tell.
So there's everything you didn't ever want to know about Oman, the quiet little country that may have been instrumental in bringing the United States and Iran back to a negotiating table after more than 3 decades of frozen diplomatic ties.

This hotbed for talent is looking to lure investment bankers home
by Paul Clarke 19 September 2013
Lebanon and Goldman Sachs don't exactly go hand-in-hand. Nor does the country and the likes of Bank of America, HSBC, Morgan Stanley or UBS, and yet, relative to its size, it's a huge exporter of investment bankers to major financial centres. Now, Lebanon is trying to convince its financial services talent to stick closer to home.
The Lebanese diaspora occupy the senior ranks across Wall Street, the City of London, Canada and, increasingly, the major Gulf financial centres like Dubai. Samir Assaf, CEO of HSBC's global banking and markets division, hails from the country, as does Walid Chammah, former chairman of Morgan Stanley; Anwar Zakkour, the newly installed head co-head of TMT at Bank of America Merrill Lynch; Wissam Kairouz, a managing director at Morgan Stanley's leveraged & acquisition finance group; George Bitar, managing director at BlackRock Global Private Equity; and Philippe Jabre, founder and CIO of hedge fund Jabre Capital Partners. The list could go on.
A solid base
"We have no natural resources, and the country has had all sorts of troubles for hundreds of years, which means that Lebanese people have long-emigrated to other countries," said Ziad Awad, a former Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Merrill Lynch managing director who now runs consultancy Boardroom Metrics in Dubai. "However, we have a great educational system and a business-orientated and entrepreneurial society, which has meant a disproportionate number of Lebanese people have become traders in investment banks, or worked on the advisory side."
It's not as though investment banks are simply busting to hire people from Lebanon, but that the education system is a good seeding ground to get into top universities in Western locations, which then serves as an attractive base to enter the industry, believes Camille Moussa, a former investment banker at Morgan Stanley and UBS, who now works for the Central Bank of Lebanon's educational arm, partnering with the CISI to train the bankers of the future.
"The Lebanese school system is incredibly tough – you have to work in three languages (French, English and Arabic) and I was learning calculus in school before US institutions taught it in their high schools," he said. "Lebanese place a huge emphasis on education – most going into the financial sector have Masters degrees from top universities. I went to university in the U.S. at 16 and, after the Lebanese school system, it was a breeze."
Moussa believes that there's an "innate" quality in the Lebanese psyche that makes them well suited to working in financial services, and succeeding. Awad agrees: "You could argue that there's a trading and mercantile culture stretching back to Phoenician times, so it's in the genes. This, combined with the sort of grit, determination and entrepreneurship of immigrants makes Lebanese ideally suited to banking."
While there's an inherent pride in the long-tradition of Lebanese making it in bulge bracket investment banks in Western locations, the benefits haven't really been felt in the country. Most Lebanese expat bankers still have little ambition to move back home, due to the lack of similar job opportunities locally, and the ongoing troubles that make it a dangerous place to live. "If it wasn't for the political situation, I have no doubt that Lebanon, not Dubai, would be the major financial centre in the region," said Moussa.
As it is, few international financial services organisations have any sort of significant presence in the country, and its capital markets are severely under-developed. The Beirut Stock Exchange's market capitalisation is around $10bn, and this has barely budged in the past four years. There are currently 69 registered banks and 53 brokerage firms in the country.
"It's still difficult to justify returning to Lebanon, despite the fact that many bankers would dearly love to. It's hard to find a job that is of similar stature and pays as much. But the quality of life is great and people like being home, so the market is quite saturated with talent despite the recurring geopolitical concerns," said Awad.
Moussa moved home because of a family crisis, but also because he felt the need to give something back to his country. He now runs the ESA Financial Markets Program and has trained over 2,000 people looking to enter the financial sector.
"We want to give people the chance to succeed in financial services without leaving the country," he said. "We've already seen senior Lebanese bankers returning home to help develop the industry here. They can walk into general management roles, and we really need these people."

Champion Jack Dupree - Blues Pianist Of New Orleans Vol. 01- 03 [2019] (3 x CD's)
BLUES PIANO
'Champion Jack' was not a great piano virtuoso, a stunning singer or a prolific songwriter, but he could play a huge variety of piano Blues styles and he took them around the world, thrilling audiences wherever he went. His affable stage presence and endless supply of funny stories made him a great entertainer and a favourite on the Festival circuit.
A native of New Orleans, Jack was orphaned as a baby when, in about 1911, both parents were killed in a house fire. Jack grew up in the same Colored Waifs home as Louis Armstrong and learned to play piano while hanging round the cat-houses in the Storyville neighborhood. His mentor was Willie 'Drive 'Em Down' Hall, who taught him to pound out rough barrelhouse Blues. By 1930, Jack had moved to Chicago, but after a year of playing at the Continental Cafe and bootlegging whisky, he left town for Detroit. When Joe Louis saw Jack at the gym, he encouraged him to take up boxing and he was soon fighting professionally out of Indianapolis, becoming lightweight Champion of Illinois and fighting over 100 bouts.
This 3-CD box set of recordings made by blues and boogie-woogie pianist and singer William Thomas "Champion Jack" Dupree in Denmark, during his years spent in Europe from 1959 through to the '70s. He always spoke very highly of the time he spent in Denmark, playing and recording with bands like Papa Bue's Viking Jazz Band and Fessor's Big City Band, and later the Kenn Lending Blues Band. He recorded for Storyville Records every time he was in Copenhagen, especially in the sixties. The music in this box set is from these great recordings. (Amazon)

Hi pmac,
A very pleasant listen. Many great tunes. And great feeling.


General Information: Petrotoga mobilis SJ95 (DSM 10674) is an anaerobic thermophile, isolated from the production waters of a North Sea oil reservoir. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. Petroleum reservoirs are a unique subsurface environment characterized by high temperatures, moderate to high salt concentrations, and abundant organic matter.


Pioneer announces a stunning new addition to its range of professional DJ mixers. Designed for a digital generation, Pioneers new 4-channel mixer is an instant classic.
Delivering breathtaking scope for creativity, consummate clarity and a world first in terms of its Effect Frequency Filter, the ingenious new DJM-700 is dramatically different.
A matchless 4-channel mixer that allows DJs to present the freshest, most explosive live performances, the DJM-700 is pure – 96kHz/24-bit – digital dynamite. The MIDI assignable mixer elevates the DJM series by fusing digital DNA from installation-grade forerunners such as the DJM-1000 and DJM-800 mixers with innovative new digital effects that are set to exceed the market's expectations of 'mid-level' mixers.
With an industry-standard size and layout and a dual shield structure that eliminates digital noise, the new DJM-700 is both robust and reliable. Designed to impress in bar, club and studio spaces alike the DJM-700 is set to have a wide appeal.
'Boasting 32-bit DSP [Digital Signal Processing], a digital effects filter, 13 beat effects and enhanced roll sampler in what is an extremely familiar format for DJs, this new kit on the block is definitely in a class of its own!' says Jason Pook, Product Development Manager, Pioneer Europe.
The mixer's top-of-the-range 96kHz/ 24-bit digital sound is inherited from Pioneer's world-class professional series, notably the DJM-1000 and DJM-800 mixers. This clean, supreme sound quality is maintained throughout the mix via an outstanding analogue to digital converter, with mixing carried out by 32-bit DSP.
The remarkable Effect Frequency Filter mode opens up killer high and low pass frequency filter control for affecting any chosen effect, so you can limit which frequency bands are subject to manipulation. This means you can add an effect to either a) the effect only, b) the music (sample) only, or c) both simultaneously.
The DJM-700 features a high-grade rotary LP & HP Manual Filter. This allows both filtering of the track and, when used in conjunction with the effects, filtering of the effects themselves. The Manual Filter therefore presents countless possibilities to make a performance unique and to make a track your own.
A highly evolved Roll Sampler makes tempo-specific manipulation of audio samples easily accessible through real-time sampling using 4-Roll Effects: ROLL, REVERSE ROLL, PITCH UP ROLL and PITCH DOWN ROLL.
There are also nine other effects: DELAY, ECHO, TRANSFORM, FILTER, FLANGER, PHASER, REVERB, ROBOT and CRUSH. Such an array of dancefloor-destroying effects can be used in infinite ways to manipulate sound in exciting new directions, with each effect permitting time parameter control of the music's movements.
The CRUSH effect that first appeared on the DJM-800 is included here but now with an added LFO that sweeps the bitcrusher through its full spectrum, always remaining locked to the beat.
With 49 MIDI assignable knobs, faders & switches, the DJM-700 can be used to control external DJ software, soft synths and au/vst plugins running on a Mac or PC. Together with the new on/off MIDI send control, MIDI data can be turned on & off giving amazing control for the most demanding digital DJ.

Here are a few things you missed:
IBT demolition
A $96,060 contract has been awarded to Henderson's Hazex Construction to demolish the old Immanuel Baptist Temple Church on Second Street, next to Holy Name Schol, to make way for a new fire station.
That bid amount is $36,060 more than was budgeted for the project.
City project manager Dylan Ward explained the main reason for that in his bid memo to the commission.
"The amount budgeted for the demolition of the IBT church building in this year's budget was $60,000.00. However, when this budget number was put together over a year ago, the city's C&D landfill was still in normal operation, so the budget number was put together assuming that all of the material for the church building could be disposed of at the landfill at no additional cost to the bidder. However, since that time, conditions at the landfill have changed and there is no longer sufficient storage for these materials to be hauled to the city's C&D landfill. This was unknown when the budget was put together. Therefore, it was included in the bid package that the bidder would now be responsible for any costs incurred to dispose of the material elsewhere."

Hazex plans to dump the demolition materials in the same place that the city now disposes of its trash -- the landfill in Daviess County.
City Manager Russell Sights said the additional money will have to be paid for out of an amended appropriations ordinance.
The other two bidders on the project were T. A. Gaddis Services, LLC of Owensboro at $113,800.00 and M. Bowling, Inc. of Henderson at $187,377.60.
Commissioner Patti Bugg raised concerns about the demolition interfering with, or causing safety issues, at Holy Name School which is directly across Adams Street.
"They don't think they are going to have any issues," Ward said. "They (Hazex) actually think they are probably going to come in on a Saturday, take it down and then they'll work from there. They're going to do everything they can to work around their (Holy Name's) schedule."
The "education wing" of the building will be spared and used as part of the new fire complex.
Bugg suggested that it might even be better to wait until Spring Break when school would be out for an entire week. But Ward said making that a requirement might mean rebidding the entire project.
"Let us talk to Hazex," said City Manager Russell Sights. "They've shown that they're going to be courteous and try to cooperate with us."
Pocket park name
The new "pocket park" that is being built on Second Street between Elm and Main streets will be named "The Perch."
MORE: Pocket park taking shape downtown
A list of three names had been floated before -- The Perch, Canary Square and The Nesting Place. Two organizations, The Gleaner and the Downtown Henderson Partnership, both took public polls and in both instances, The Perch was the favorite choice.
The commissioners made it official Tuesday evening with a unanimous vote.
Everybody hates cable TV
Sights reports that the city is still working on finalizing a franchise agreement with Spectrum Cable. But one thing is going away: free cable boxes for the city.
"Under the old franchise agreement, they would furnish the boxes free to the city since we were the franchise agent. They will no longer do that at all ... we've asked them and they've denied us. So we're going to have to probably start renting about 60 boxes a month."
"It's going to cost us about $3,600 or $3,700 a year," he said. "But we need that service."
Pruitt's power complaint
During the commissioners' reports portion at the end of the meeting, Robert Pruitt said he had a concern about the recent batch of city electric bills.
"When I came in and paid mine, there was a lot of people at the counter .. they were very upset at the high utility bills," said Pruitt, who is also currently running for mayor in the 2018 General Election,
"I've got one here that's kind of concerning," he said. "It goes down here and it says fuel adjustment, and it's $171.36. That's not even the bill, that's just the fuel adjustment ... that to me, that's outrageous."
"When you've got a fuel adjustment that's almost $200, there's something wrong somewhere."
Pruitt said he was told that the fuel adjustment had to do with coal and lime prices, among other things.
He said he asked City Manager Sights to request that Henderson Municipal Power & Light chief Chris Heimgartner appear before the commission Tuesday evening to explain the fuel adjustment clause and power prices.
"I guess he declined to come. But the city people are paying him, but he won't come and explain. If it had been me, and I had the power, I'd fire him today."
Pruitt has been a vocal critic of HMP&L in the past.
Sights said his "recollection is not exactly the way that Commissioner Pruitt" recounted it. "Mr. Heimgartner's response was, you call Commissioner Pruitt and give him my number and tell him to call. At no time, did Mr. Heimgartner tell me that he was not going to come tonight, or he was going to come tonight."
Sights said he understood that Pruitt had been sent an email with the information that he asked for about the fuel adjustment clause.
City manager hiring
This Friday, Feb. 16, is the deadline for applications to be the new Henderson city manager. So far, at least eight people have applied.
The new city commissioner should be hired by early April, although he or she won't officially take that title until City Manager Russell Sights retires on June 30.
Further details about the candidates were unavailable.


Consider the history of the founding of America that is told in this music short. What does it get right? What is missing from its historical narrative? Whose stories are emphasized, and whose stories are overlooked?
Consider the idea of the "Great American Melting Pot." Do you think this concept has value? Do you find reasons to criticize its philosophical approach. Why or why not?
This educational musical short was produced in the mid-1970s. If it were produced today, what would be different? What would remain the same?
The idea of the "American melting pot" has been criticized for ignoring cultural difference and forcing assimilation toward a white norm upon people of diverse backgrounds. Some have suggested that the "salad bowl" metaphor is more appropriate, as it takes a more pluralistic approach in which ethnic difference is recognized and maintained, but unity in purpose is still the ultimate goal. The salad bowl metaphor itself has come under criticism, as some have argued it continues to perpetuate an American norm of whiteness that treats minority groups as second-class citizens.

A personal trainer girlfriend of mine, still going strong in her seventh month of pregnancy, dropped off her three-year old at my house today so that she and my daughter could chase each other around for a few hours. The chase (and the girly screams of delight) began as soon as they saw each other. With the girls occupied, I stepped outside to chat for a second with my friend before she headed back home for some much-deserved rest. I watched her survey my front yard. This friend's own front yard is immaculate. She is "one of those" who gives names to her plants. With her storybook flower garden that attracts all sorts of butterflies, I was embarrassed to see her eyes stop at the two-and-a-half foot weeds shooting up all over my yard. These weeds were like a magnet for her. Almost unconsciously, she reached down, gave a hearty tug, and pulled a weed out by its roots. She said that she is drawn to weeds and, when on neighborhood walks with her husband, he has had to physically restrain her from picking neighbors' weeds because it is such a satisfying feeling to her to rip one up from its roots.
I can identify with this feeling. Since teenager-hood, I've had a compulsion to pluck my eyebrows. I wish I had the urge to pull weeds, or my husband probably wishes I had that urge, but I get that same sense of satisfaction from ripping out a good stray eyebrow hair all the way to its root. I used to keep tweezers in the door handle of my mini van when I was a working woman, but after years of having to draw in fake eyebrows with a pencil (I was in sales and spent most of the day driving, much to the dismay of my eyebrows), my husband took my tweezers from me and more or less forced me to grow them in.
- Provide for successful experiences: Whatever you are doing, from walking to jogging to lifting weights, set yourself up for success by making your goals attainable. If you don't know what goals to set for yourself, do some research online or talk to a trainer at a gym.
- Give rewards contingent on performance: If you attain your goal, reward yourself. For instance, if you run the mile in your pre-set amount of time, allow yourself to walk for three minutes or to decrease the incline (or to visit the Chick Fil-A drive thru on the way home).
- Use verbal and non-verbal praise: Share your goal with a spouse or a friend and let him know that you will keep him posted on your success so that he can give you praise.
- Vary content and sequence of drills: Basically, don't do the same form of exercise every day, or it will get monotonous. Don't be afraid to change it up.
So, while exercising is already intrinsically motivating to me, weed pulling is not. I think I'll try the "rewards contingent on performance" tip and promise myself a #7 from Chick Fil-A if I de-weed in the morning!

CEHS graduates emeritus celebrate Emeritus Weekend
On June 3, 2017, CEHS Graduates Emeritus gathered for a reception to celebrate Emeritus Weekend, a University-wide event that recognizes graduates of 50 years or more. The weekend, full of events, sessions, tours of campus and more, allows emeritus alumni the opportunity to reminisce and reconnect with their beloved alma mater.
Currently there are over 13,000 Graduates Emeritus for all of WVU. Of those, 2,176 are graduates of CEHS. We are proud each year to have the opportunity to celebrate and remember the past with our many emeritus alumni, as well as our emeritus faculty.
Student Spotlight: Sean Ray
Sean Ray, a secondary education social studies major, discovered WVU by chance, and it was love at first sight. A Buffalo, N.Y., native, Ray visited WVU on his first college tour with his grandparents, who live in Virginia.
"WVU was the last stop on the tour," Ray said. "No matter what I was doing or where I was looking, that visit just always stayed in the back of my head. I just loved it right away."
Faculty Spotlight: Johnna Bolyard
Dr. Johnna Bolyard, a mathematics education professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction/Literacy Studies, is on a mission to make mathematics accessible for all teachers and students.
"I'm a very big believer that everybody can learn math, and I think we have this narrative that either you're a math person or you're not," Bolyard said. "I have never believed that. I feel, in many ways, it's my job to prove that wrong and to figure out ways to help people change their perspective and to teach in ways which people can learn."
Morgantown Rotary Club establishes Morgantown Rotary Club/Dr. Hugh Lindsay Hearing Aid Fund at CEHS
For many Americans, hearing aids are a necessity, but they are also financially unattainable. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, approximately 28.8 million U.S. adults could benefit from using hearing aids, but the high cost creates a barrier to access.
This is one reason that the Morgantown Rotary Club has established the Morgantown Rotary Club/Dr. Hugh Lindsay Hearing Aid Fund at CEHS. The fund, which will help provide hearing aids to low-income clients of the WVU Hearing Center, was created in honor of the late Dr. Hugh Lindsay, M.D., Ph.D.
CEHS mourns loss of former dean
It is with great sorrow that we share the news of Dr. Anne H. Nardi's passing on Saturday, June 17, 2017. Dr. Nardi served in many positions at CEHS, including her roles as interim dean and dean from 2002 to 2008.
"Dr. Anne Nardi was a long-standing faculty member and administrator in our College," said Gypsy Denzine, dean of the College of Education and Human Services. "She left a true legacy and we all benefit from her outstanding service as dean. Dr. Nardi was committed to student success, modeled high standards in all tasks, lived the WVU Land-Grant mission and truly loved being a part of the WVU community. She was kind and generous in sharing her time and wisdom. The entire Nardi family is closely tied to the WVU family."

Art Gallery Studio Iguarnieri
FILM TIME!!
Today we want to share a new collaboration we're doing with a special project.
We created a unique artwork for a SHORT FILM, yes indeed! The Septième art is landing in Iguarnieri!
This is a particular project leaded by a young filmmaker, Rodolfo Guarnieri's daughter, Vivian Guarnieri, raised in an artistic environment and recently graduated in Digital Film Production and Screenwriting in UK . This will be her "opera prima" and we decided to make a one of a kind painting to support her project and be part of this amazing new film.
"Come, Serendipity"
This is the title of the short film and we'll tell you a bit about it,
"…The story is set in Florence, my home town and takes place in a villa that has belonged to my family for many years. It is a very special place on the Chianti hills, which we are now sadly giving away.
Through this film, I want to convey all the emotions and traditions that make this place special. The film is a snapshot, a painting that outlines life in all its facets, good and evil, and evokes the world of farmers and the conditions of small businesses who are now disappearing.
It is not only a story about love but it is most importantly a film about happiness, life, and the importance of having a place to return to…" Vivian Guarnieri.
Francesco is a Florentine boy who has lived his entire life in Tuscany, helping his parents manage the family business. His dream is to go abroad to study cinema but his desire for security and the fear of failure prevents him from pursuing this goal.
On a summer day, Raquel, an American girl in remission from cancer, arrives at Francesco's villa in Chianti. She still struggles with nightmares and fears that haunt her after her ordeal with death. In this picturesque setting, Raquel and Francesco begin to get to know each other and feel a mutual interest that allows them to acquire a broader view of life and understand what happiness really is all about.
For this project Iguarnieri artists have created an original painting to be the official poster of the film and support the fundraising of it.
The painting is made in fresco painting technique on wood surface, refined with Gold leaf details and an inner Gold passepartout. The artwork was done with the aim to support the film in reaching the budget, with the funds raised from its selling with our partnership. By acquiring this unique artwork, you will be featured in the credits of the film as an executive producer and will receive a digital copy of the film before the release.
You can also follow the FILM platforms and know more details about it as well as its development in the following links:
So for any other info about it, do not hesitate to stay in touch with us!
All our best in life and art,
Art Gallery Studio Iguarnieri.


Rugs help define spaces and are particularly useful in providing softness and comfort in open living spaces that have hard flooring.
We have put together a guide that will help you purchase the perfect rug for you home! This includes which size is best for your room, which style will suit your home and lifestyle and tips on how to care for your rug.
Here are some steps to finding the perfect floor rug to suit your home design!
Think about your space. Are you using a rug to fill a room, to define a seating area in a large open living area or to add colour and texture to your room? Once you have decided, measure the space. Rug sizes are fairly standard ranging from 120 x 180cm up to 270 x 330cm.
If you are using a rug in a seating area, there a several options. A large rug place underneath furniture can instantly make a room feel spacious. If you wish to use a smaller rug, place the front legs of your sofa over the rug.
If you are placing a rug under a dining table it is important to ensure the rug will be wide enough that the chairs are completely on the rug to prevent it from rolling up or getting damaged edges.
Rugs can add warmth and texture to bedrooms. Consider placing a large rug under the bed remembering that only the pattern on the edges of the rug will be visible. You can also consider adding a smaller rug at the footer or either side of the bed.
When choosing a style rug to suit your lifestyle and your home, take into account how much traffic the area will receive for example hallways are a high traffic area and will require a durable rug, while bedrooms and dinning room rugs will be less susceptible to heavy wear.
Flat weave rugs range in style from traditional dhurries and kilims to modern styles featuring bright colours and graphic patterns. Because these rugs are flat woven rather than knotted, they tend to be much thinner than knotted rugs which is an advantage as they are highly versatile and easy to clean. They are often more affordable then pile rugs and are a great way to update a room, however they wont last as long as a pile rug in high traffic areas.
Pile rugs can be hand made (also known as hand tufted) or machine made. If looked after well, high quality man made pile rugs can last a generation if not more. Choice of style is endless, from traditional Persian design to modern 'shag' styles. Materials used in pile rugs include wool, silk through to synthetic materials such as acrylic.
Flat woven from natural fibres extracted form plants such as sea grass, sisal, hemp and jute. These rugs add a casual feel to a room, are generally durable and affordable in price. They are available in a range of natural colour palettes, making them perfect for high traffic areas.
Hide rugs add a touch of contemporary glamour to any room. Natural cowhide rugs feature unique patterns, shapes and colours allowing you to effortlessly introduce a striking feature in your home. Man-made cowhides are also also available in a range of colours and prints.
When you purchase a new rug, keep the care tag intact for future cleaning.
Vacuum regularly to remove dust and dirt particles.
Treat spills and stains as soon as possible. However don't rub! Instead blot the stain to absurd excess moisture then apply water and soap wash to lift stains, and then blot again.
If your rug received sun or high foot traffic in a particular area, rotate it regularly to prevent uneven wear.
When storing your rug, ensure that it is professionally cleaned and wrapped before storing.

I tried sorting it with the follow
$new_array = usort($tags, function($a, $b) {
   return $b->parent - $a->parent;
})

My desired outcome would be an array which reorganizes the array by parent (so all the objects with a parent of 0 would be on the top). Instead, I'm getting a value of true returned.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: usort (http://php.net/usort) performs the sort directly on the provided array. The return value just returns boolean telling if the sorting succeeded.
Furthermore,

The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

therefore you should provide $a->parent - $b->parent to get the items sorted in an ascending order.
usort($tags, function($a, $b) {
   return $a->parent - $b->parent;
});
$new_array = $tags; // The $tags is now sorted

Cynthia Lennon Dies at 75
Apr 02, 2015, 04:05 AM #1

Strangely, no 'proper' tread about Cynthia's passing here on the Lennon forum. Until now. Lots of articles out there. Here's a good one from NY Times:
Cynthia Lennon, the First Beatles Wife, Dies at 75
By DANIEL E. SLOTNIKAPRIL 1, 2015
Cynthia Lennon, the first wife of the Beatles' John Lennon, who chronicled their troubled marriage in two memoirs, died on Wednesday at her home in Mallorca, Spain. She was 75.
The cause was cancer, according to a memorial on the website of her son, Julian.
Ms. Lennon, then Cynthia Powell, met Lennon when he was a student at the Liverpool College of Art in the late 1950s. She was a studious, proper young lady, in stark contrast to him.
"He was a total rebel, and everybody was amazed by him," she said in a 2005 interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
She ended her engagement to another man, he broke up with his girlfriend, and they began dating. It was during this period, Ms. Lennon said, that she first dealt with his jealousy and anger. She said that he smacked her in the face for dancing with another man, after which she broke up with him for several months.
She became pregnant in 1962 and married Lennon on Aug. 23, just weeks before the Beatles recorded their first single, "Love Me Do." She was ill prepared for the fame that engulfed John and his bandmates.
"I didn't marry a Beatle," she told the British newspaper The Independent in 1999. "I married a broke student who played the guitar and ponced all my grant money off me."
Their son was born in April 1963, as Beatlemania was spreading across England. Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager, hid the existence of Lennon's wife and son to make him seem available to the legions of young women obsessed with him. Many fans were distraught when the Beatles appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964 and the words "Sorry, girls, he's married" appeared with his image on the screen.
As the Beatles' fame grew, Lennon became more distant, with little time for his wife and their son. Ms. Lennon stayed home with Julian while John toured and traveled. Lennon came to resent his wife's conventional ways.
It was around this time that Lennon met the artist Yoko Ono. Ms. Lennon discovered their relationship after finding the two of them sitting on the floor of the Lennon home cross-legged, clad only in robes. John and Cynthia Lennon divorced in 1968, and she received a reported settlement of £100,000 (roughly $240,000 at the time).
After the divorce, Lennon cut off contact with her and their son for years, and many accounts of the Beatles' history minimized them. "We are like walk-on parts in John's life," Ms. Lennon said in 2005.
Ms. Lennon told her side of the story in two memoirs: "A Twist of Lennon," which she also illustrated, and "John."
Julian Lennon rekindled his relationship with his father before he was murdered by Mark David Chapman in 1980. Ms. Lennon wrote that Ms. Ono asked her not to come to the memorial ceremonies in New York. But the two women grew closer over time.
"I felt proud how we two women stood firm in the Beatles family," Ms. Ono wrote on her website on Wednesday.
Cynthia Powell was born in Blackpool, Lancashire, on Sept. 10, 1939. She was married four times, most recently to Noel Charles, who died in 2013.
Julian, who is also a singer and songwriter, is her only immediate survivor.
On the last page of "John," Ms. Lennon wrote that if she had had another chance, she would have lived differently.
"If I'd known as a teenager what falling for John Lennon would lead to," she said, "I would have turned 'round right then and walked away."
Sometimes I dream in colors
It always happens when
I find myself with others
Who don't pretend

Sad news indeed
Thank's hibgal for the interesting article !
Cyn's passing is really sad and I think it's a big loss in the Beatles history, as she was one of the very first witness of the Beatles career to the top. I also believe that she was still quite popular, though she always was a quiet and modest person. It must be hard time for Julian, as he was very close to his mom.

Aww, I meant to post earlier in here. I'm so sad over Cyn's passing. I always respected the way she carried on with her life and was such a great mother to Julian. She was a lovely lady and, as Snoopy said, YES she was a huge part of the Beatles story. My heart and sympathy to Julian during this very difficult time.

Thanks to hibgal and our falconine friend, we have learned a lot about the tragic passing of Cynthia. She was a good mother to Julian. He grew up to be a kind and responsible person and a perfectly ordinary guy, like his lovely mother Cynthia.
With a love like that, you know you should be glad, yeah, yeah, yeah!-- Beatles, 1963
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind. -- George Harrison, 1966

BIG Serpentine Pavilion 2016 Design
© BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group
The Serpentine Gallery has unveiled the designs for the 2016 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London designed by BIG. The new installation will feature a tall pointed structure made of interlocking fiberglass "bricks" showing an "unzipped wall." Also, this year, the Serpentine Gallery will host four smaller "summer houses" designed by Kunlé Adeyemi – NLÉ, Barkow Leibinger, Yona Friedman, and Asif Khan.
BIG Serpentine Pavilion Technical Information
Architects: BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group
Location: London, England
Type: Installation
Topics: Fiberglass, Serpentine Pavilion, Parametric
Source: Serpentine Pavilion
We have attempted to design a structure that embodies multiple aspects that are often perceived as opposites, a structure that is free-form yet rigorous, modular yet sculptural, both transparent and opaque, both solid box and blob.
– Bjarke Ingels
Serpentine Pavilion 2016 Renderings
[…] The Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), is an 'unzipped wall' that is transformed from a straight line to a three-dimensional space, creating a dramatic structure that, by day, houses a café and free family activities and by night becomes a space for the Serpentine's acclaimed Park Nights program of performative works by artists, writers, and musicians. […]1
Julia Peyton-Jones, Director, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Serpentine Galleries, said:
As you can see from the architect's renders, Bjarke Ingels has responded to the brief for a multi-purpose Pavilion with a supremely elegant structure that is both curvaceous wall and soaring spire, that will surely serve as a beacon – drawing visitors across Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens to visit the Pavilion, the Summer Houses and our major exhibitions by Alex Katz and Etel Adnan.
– Julia Peyton-Jones
BIG Architect's Statment
For the Serpentine Pavilion 2016, we have attempted to design a structure that embodies multiple aspects that are often perceived as opposites: a structure that is free-form yet rigorous, modular yet sculptural; both transparent and opaque; both solid box and blob.
We decided to work with one of the essential elements of architecture: the brick wall. Rather than clay bricks or stone blocks, however, the wall is erected from extruded fiberglass frames stacked on top of each other. The wall is then pulled apart to form a cavity within it to house the events of the Pavilion's program.
This unzipping of the wall turns the line into a surface, transforming the wall into space. A complex three-dimensional environment is created that can be explored and experienced in various ways, inside and outside. At the top, the wall appears like a straight line, while the bottom of it forms a sheltered valley at the entrance of the Pavilion and an undulating hillside towards the Park.
The unzipped wall creates a cave-like canyon lit through the fiberglass frames and the gaps between the shifted boxes, as well as through the translucent resin of the fiberglass. As a result, the shifting overlaps, as well as the movement and presence of people outside, create a lively play of light and shadow on the cave walls within.
The materials include wooden floors and extruded Fiberline profiles, providing every surface with a warm glow and linear texture – from the mesh of woven glass fibers to the undulating lines of the grain of the wood. This simple manipulation of the archetypal space-defining garden wall creates a presence in the Park that changes as you move around it and as you move through it. The North-South elevation of the Pavilion is a perfect rectangle. The East-West elevation is an undulating sculptural silhouette.
Towards the East-West, the Pavilion is completely opaque and material. Towards the North-South, it is entirely transparent and practically immaterial. As a result, presence becomes absence, orthogonal becomes curvilinear, the structure becomes gesture, and the box becomes blob.
About the Serpentine Pavilion
The Serpentine's Pavilion commission, conceived in 2000 by Director Julia Peyton-Jones, has become an international site for architectural experimentation and has presented projects by some of the world's greatest architects. Each Pavilion is situated on the Serpentine Gallery's lawn for four months, and the immediacy of the commission – taking a maximum of six months from invitation to completion – provides a unique model worldwide.
The selection of the architects, chosen for consistently extending the boundaries of architecture practice, is led by the Serpentine's core curatorial thinking, introducing contemporary artists and architects to a broader audience. The brief is to design a 300-square-meter Pavilion that is used as a café by day and a forum for learning, debate, and entertainment at night. Serpentine Galleries will be partnering with Harrods for the 2016 Pavilion Café.
The Serpentine Pavilion is one of the top-ten most visited architectural and design exhibitions in the world. There is no budget for the project; it is realized through sponsorship, help-in-kind support, and the sale of the Pavilion.

The Government will ask the Justice to prevent skiing in Navacerrada
The Government will ask the Justice to prevent skiing in Navacerrada after the Junta de Castilla y León has protected this Monday that the private company that manages the station continues to occupy the public lands owned by the National Parks Agency where the tracks were planted, to despite the fact that the 25-year concession expired in April of this year.
1,500 euros a year: the rental of the Navacerrada ski resort that Esperanza Aguirre privatized
The owner of the land, National Parks, decided this year not to extend the permit that was granted in 1996, but the Government of Castilla y León – led by the PP – has said that it is the competent authority to close or not the station. Its president, Alfonso Martínez Mañueco, now affirms that the station will open on December 1. The Ministry of Ecological Transition will have to file an appeal in a Valladolid court and will request as a precautionary measure that the use of the station be stopped.
Mañueco has been escorted by the president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, despite the fact that that administration has nothing to say about the land or facilities: the affected descents are the Telegrafo, the Escaparate and the Forest that fall within Castilla and Leon. But the decision of the Castilian-Leon president directly confronts the National Parks Agency that depends on the Ministry of Ecological Transition, that is, the Government of Spain.
The Navacerrada ski resort has been operating since 1996 thanks to the fact that National Parks granted a public company called Deporte y Montaña SA "the occupation of 7.6 hectares for a period of 25 years for the installation of infrastructure for the practice alpine skiing on Mount Pinar de Valsaín ". It is number 2 of the Public Utility Forest Catalog.
The concession expired on April 2, 2021. And National Parks decided that it no longer considered it appropriate to have a ski resort on those lands of high ecological value, located on the edge of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. They concluded that it contributed to the degradation of the space due to the influx of private vehicles and that the habitual lack of snow forced the intensive use of cannons to create it and maintain that business.
This was communicated to the Junta de Castilla y León, "to process the administrative expiration file" and to the company itself. By then, the society was no longer public. In 2007, the president of the Community of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, decided to privatize the company. After a deserted auction, in a second attempt, Inversiones Río SL sThe business was left for 328,000 euros. He inherited the rent of about 1,500 euros per years for the seven hectares. Inversiones Río –now Río Invest– was related to the Sacyr Group through the company Cavosa Obras y Proyectos. Río Invest is the sole administrator of the company Puerto de Navacerrada Estación de Esquí.
National Parks – the owner of the land – opted in this way "not to call a competitive competition to grant a new concession for private use in this area." That is, do not award the land to an exclusive company. The act that granted that land use to the ski resort in 1996 included a clause that said that, once the concession was terminated, the company had to leave there, "without having the right to make any claim or claim for all of this. to receive compensation of any kind ". What the Board does, after all, is not declare expiration. And oppose the decision of the owner of the land.
"We consider that there are neither political nor legal reasons to declare the closure," Alfonso Fernández Mañueco has declared. Its Executive was already trying to declare the station as an Asset of Cultural Interest to try to stop the closure.

Morocco-Israel: The launch of air links will take more time than expected
Morocco - Israel
Air rotation
Par ediallo - 13 January, 2021 - 18:19
Announced by Nadia Fettah for February or March, the start of air rotations between Mohammed V and Ben Gourion airports will not take place until at least April. According to a reliable source, this is due to the delay in the signing of the air agreement between Morocco and Israel as well as to the health situation of the 2 countries which are preparing to vaccinate their population.
After the visit of an American-Israeli delegation to Morocco, a press release from the royal cabinet had announced imminent measures to allow airlines to open links between the two countries to transport Israeli tourists and members of the Moroccan Jewish community.
In the end, despite the optimism displayed by the Minister of Air Transport and by several Israeli newspapers which were counting on the start of air traffic between the two countries for the months of February or March, Médias24 learns that the administrative conditions have not yet been fulfilled.
The preliminary administrative procedure has still not been completed
Indeed, after having contacted, in vain, our interlocutors at the Ministry of Air Transport and at the General Directorate of Civil Aviation, a reliable source tells us that there has not yet been an aviation agreement signed between the aviation authorities of the two countries, a prerequisite for the launch of the flights.
"To date, as no communiqué from the supervisory public authorities (Ministry of Air Transport and DGAC) mentioning an agreement has been published, there can be no Morocco-Israel links.
The line has no chance of being inaugurated on 16 January
"Without this necessary precondition, the RAM will not be able to launch commercial flights between Casablanca and Tel Aviv airports on 16 January, as part of the press has said.
"Knowing that there has not yet been an agreement duly formalised by the Moroccan and Israeli governments, and even less a protocol validated by the two respective authorities in charge of civil aviation, no one is in a position to announce a date or the number of frequencies.
The same applies to the price of the ticket, which can only be determined at the end of the current market study.
"Considering the distance between the two countries, which requires nearly six hours of flight time, the only certainty at present is that the connections will be well assured by long-haul Boeing Dreamliner aircraft," says our interlocutor, who says he is surprised to learn that the information is unfounded.
Faced with our insistence on knowing how long the governmental and administrative validation procedure should last, our interlocutor advances that it will depend on the requirements on both sides, namely from State to State and from Moroccan civil aviation to Israeli civil aviation.
While waiting for the signature of an agreement, the companies are looking for partners on the spot
"While waiting for the agreement to be finalised and finally signed, the Israeli (El Al Israel and Isair) and national (RAM) airlines are looking for partners (handling, freight, security) to be able to operationalise their future flights to the two airports of Casablanca and Tel Aviv.
"If with the confinement in Israel and its vaccination campaign underway, it is difficult to speculate on a launch date, it could however go very quickly," our source concludes optimistically.
In the end, if this postponement can disappoint the companies affected by the health crisis, it is preferable to wait for the end of the vaccination campaign, which should be completed next March in Israel and will soon begin in Morocco, before tackling a potential market of 200,000 passengers.

Freezing to death: Unheated homes killed over 16,000 people across UK last winter, govt watchdog finds
FILE PHOTO © Getty Images / Richard Baker
Staggering energy prices are taking a toll on those unable to pay their bills, a UK regulator has admitted, confirming that thousands of people may have died because of fuel poverty and lack of heating during winter.
The most vulnerable households spend more on their energy bills than wealthier ones, and "can therefore be at greater risk of fuel poverty," according to a comprehensive new study by the Office of Gas and Energy Markets (Ofgem) on Thursday.
Fuel poverty, a common UK term for customers who cannot afford to keep adequately warm at an affordable cost, "increases the risk that people [will] develop ill health," it acknowledged.
Over winter 2017-18, we estimate that fuel poverty may have contributed to 5,500 excess winter deaths and that 16,500 excess winter deaths may have been linked to people living in cold homes.
The shocking death toll occurred despite the government trying to make energy more "cost reflective" for disabled people, seniors and those living on income support. £2.5 billion ($3.8 billion) was spent on that effort, and maximum prices for standard tariffs were cut.
The revelation comes as the UK braces itself for the consequences of its departure from the EU, which – as the government's own findings suggest – will herald bad news for "low-income groups" in case of a "no-deal" scenario.
A hard Brexit will hit them most because a bigger proportion of their money is spent on food and fuel, according to the Operation Yellowhammer files disclosed at the demand of opposition MPs.
Also on rt.com Released 'Operation Yellowhammer' docs suggest delays & rising prices in 'worst case' no-deal Brexit
Supermarkets are expected to increase prices as supplies of food, including fruit and vegetables imported from continental Europe, will be delayed at customs borders.
And while no disruption to electricity or gas supplies is expected, there will "probably be marked price rises for electricity customers with associated wider economic and political effects," the dossier warned.

The Cheesecake Burlesque group performs at the Belfry Theatre on May 26 in support of PEERS. (File contributed)
Burlesque performers don't let theatre fire stop their show
Cheesecake Burlesque Revue raising money for PEERS with Saturday night performance of Hot Pink
Get ready for sparkles, feather boas and a whole lot of laughs; the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue is performing this weekend.
The troupe has performed across the world and is heading to the Belfry Theatre tomorrow night (May 26) to put on its Hot Pink show in support of the PEERS Victoria Resources Society, a sex-worker advocacy group.
"This is the eighth time we've done a show for them, we feel like they do really great work for the community," said Cheesecake performer, Champagne Sparkles. "It's super fun, and we've done a lot of work to put together a very entertaining performance."
The vaudeville show will entail singing, comedy and a little bit of striptease, though Sparkles said people under 19 are welcome to come if they're accompanied by an adult.
"We have people bringing in older teens, and a ton of moms bringing in their daughters because we're a very body-positive show," Sparkles said. "It can be very empowering because we don't conform to the mainstream ideas of beauty."
Cheesecake Burlesque began throwing performances for PEERS because the organization let the troupe use one of their boardrooms as a rehearsal space. Additionally, one of the performers started volunteering at PEERS, and ended up getting a job with them. Sparkles teased that as a part of this weekend's performance, troupe member Ginger Kittens will have a special performance specifically catered to supporting PEERS, though she didn't provide other details.
The Hot Pink show will also give viewers a sneak peek at the performance Cheesecake Burlesque will be putting on at the 2018 Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender in Las Vegas.
"It's like the Olympics of burlesque," Sparkles said with a laugh.
Cheesecake Burlesque had a scare related to their upcoming performance when the Belfry Theatre experienced a small fire in their dimmer room, but Sparkles heard Wednesday morning that the show is still on.
ALSO READ: Fire at Belfry Theatre closes curtain on recent show
"Belfry will not have 100 per cent of their lighting fixed, but plenty to proceed with creating a gorgeous show!" she said. "We're so happy and excited!"
A silent auction and photo booth will also be happening at the performance.
The show gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door, by phone 250-385-6815 or online at tickets.belfry.bc.ca/.

Baker Joins United On Loan From Chelsea
Last updated : 30 June 2018 By .
The 23-year-old Chelsea midfielder made his first team debut for the Blues in an FA Cup tie at Derby County in 2014, before ending that season by winning the club's Young Player of the Year award, as well as our Goal of the Season prize for a superb back-heel scored during an Under-21 game against Arsenal.
Capable of playing in a number of midfield roles, Baker joined Chelsea at Under-10s age group.
He was a pivotal part of their Under-18 side which won the FA Youth Cup in 2012 and it was Baker's goal away at Manchester United which secured the Under-21 Premier League title in 2014.
Having helped Vitesse Arnhem win the Dutch Cup in 2016/17, Baker spent last season at loan at Middlesbrough.
At international level he has represented England through the younger age groups and in 2016 he was the top scorer as the Under-21s won the Toulon Tournament, netting four goals in total, including one in the final.
Baker will now continue his development at Elland Road under the guidance of new Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa.
