Home The Region About The Region Brexitanie, and the British in Occitanie
Brexitanie is a film created by film director Bérengère Casanova, who lives in Faugères, Hérault. It features interviews by Anglophones in the region. The hour long film will be transmitted on Monday 2 December at 10:50pm on France 3.
Twenty-seven thousand British people in Occitanie are facing Brexit, all the rules of the game will change. With humour, energy, sensitivity, whether they are winemakers or students, retirees, musicians or bistro owners, they explain their choice of a life made in France, in the Hérault or in the Gers, and their will to remain European. It's a co-production with France 3 / Equipage.
Bérengère first got the idea of the film while she was at the famous Cracker Fair last year! She had this to say about the origins of the film.
As December approaches, it will not have escaped you that, in our region, the most beautiful Christmas markets are those organised by the British. The interest of these markets also lies in the muffins and other Christmas cakes to taste in a typical British atmosphere. Last year, under the awning of a "food truck" of fish and chips, an old Citroën tub repainted in the colours of the Union Jack, I asked myself about the influence and implication of the Anglo-Saxon community in the region.
Mr Fish and Chips, behind his stove, was having a conversation on the probabilities of a British departure from Europe. The tone was mostly anti Brexit. It was explained to me that the Pro-Brexit people had already left the region, it being difficult to continue living in France and to display emotions against Europe …
I perceived questions tinged with anxiety. I started asking questions to my fish and chip neighbours: what were they doing in France? Where did they come from? What did they think of Brexit? Would they go back to England or stay in Occitanie? In fact, the same question asked to the British during the June 2016 referendum: leave or remain?
The political soap opera that has been playing for three years in London and Brussels has suddenly taken on another reality. Because 27,000 Britons live in Occitanie, the waves of English politics are creating a stir right up to the edge of the Mediterranean. I wanted to understand what they had come to look for here, in this southern culture so far from their roots, to know what their identity is today, and what it would be tomorrow.
A few months later, my English neighbours organised a party. They wanted to thank their French friends for welcoming them on what they call "a small piece of land", and to testify to their desire to remain citizens of Europe in Occitanie. The movie started that night.
Here's a clip of the film, and you can watch it in full on Monday evening at 10:50 pm on France 3.

Research » Impact of Oil and Natural Gas Production
Impact of Oil and Natural Gas Production
Raising livestock adjacent to oil and gas production facilities is a reality for cattle producers in many parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and northern British Columbia. These herds can be exposed to emissions due to routine production activities and accidental releases of volatile products such as H2S, SO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is also possible for cattle to be exposed to liquid products such as crude oil, drilling mud, frac fluid, high salt produced water, and a variety of products used to assist in production or movement through gathering systems.
Early Research Findings
The Western Canada Beef Productivity Study
Air Quality Guidelines
Progress on Emissions Reduction
Suspect a Problem in Your Herd?
Concerns from the livestock industry and suggestions for research to address potential impacts were identified and documented during the 1980s and 1990s. Multi-stakeholder consultations included workshops and symposia on the effects of emissions (Edmonton, May and November 1986; Red Deer, April 1996), a scientists' advisory meeting (Edmonton, January 1997), and a conference on the issue of flaring in the petroleum industry (Calgary, April 1999).

At the Red Deer symposium, participants raised several questions including whether animal health was affected by acid-forming emissions, and whether there were effects of exposure on the respiratory, immunological, and reproductive systems. Participants also identified a need to investigate the potential effects of chronic exposure.
In July 1996, the Alberta Environmental Centre released a report prepared for the Alberta Cattle Commission on "Cattle and the Oil and Gas Industry in Alberta: A Literature Review with Recommendations for Environmental Management." The report similarly recommended studying the "possible toxicological effects on cattle from prolonged, low-level exposure to contaminants… with special attention to the reproductive and immunological systems" (AEC, 1996).
Two observational studies were done during this period. One study drew on historical survey and modeled exposure data (Scott et al., 2003 a,b). The other was an intensive, multiyear, on-farm study of herds in west-central Alberta (Waldner et al., 2001a,b). The authors suggested that there might be an association between emissions from sour gas processing facilities and some reproductive outcomes in cattle.
In one study, flaring at oil and gas battery sites was associated with an increased risk of stillbirths in cow-calf herds (Waldner et al., 2001a). In the other study, Scott et al. (2003a) reported that peak monthly levels of exposure to gas plant emissions, estimated by dispersion models, were associated with increased age at first calving in dairy heifers. Scott et al. (2003b) also found a weak association between increased calving interval and the highest estimated levels of exposure.
In response to these questions, more than 200 ranchers were recruited and their 33,000 beef cows were followed from the beginning of the breeding season in 2001 through pregnancy testing in 2002 (Waldner, 2008a).
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether beef cattle exposed to emissions from the oil and gas industry were at greater risk of reproductive failure and calf death than those less exposed.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured using passive air monitors installed at each pasture and the results were compared to the performance of individual animals (Waldner, 2008b). The density of oil and gas well sites surrounding each pasture was used as an additional measure of exposure (Waldner, 2008c). Photo credit: Western Canada Beef Productivity Study
In this study, there was no association between any measure of exposure to the oil and gas industry and the occurrence of non-pregnancy (Waldner, 2008d), abortion, or stillbirth (Waldner, 2009). The time from breeding to calving was 3.0 days longer for mature cows exposed to VOCs measured as benzene concentrations in the highest 25% compared with cows exposed to benzene concentrations in the lowest 25% (Waldner, 2008d).
Exposure to SO2 near the time of calving was associated with an increase in calf death losses (Waldner, 2008e). For every 1 ppb increase in SO2 in the 3-month period before calving, the odds of calf mortality increased by 1.3 times. This was the equivalent to a 1 to 2% increase in total calf mortality before 3 months of age associated with exposure to the highest measured concentrations of SO2 (Figure 1 and 2). For the average ranch in this study (approximately 150 cows), this would be equivalent to the loss of 2 to 3 additional calves.
Figure 1. This figure depicts the observed association between SO2 exposure and calf loss. Here we see the predicted death loss for male calves born to mature cows at 0oC in March across the range of SO2 concentrations recording during the study. Cow age, calf sex, temperature on the day the calf was born, and month of calving were also identified as important predictors of calf survival.
Figure 2. This second figure depicts the predicted death loss for male calves born to heifers at 0oC in March across the range of SO2 concentrations observed during the study. Note the average expected death loss is higher for heifers than for the mature cows in Figure 1.
Increasing postnatal airborne exposures to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured as benzene and toluene were associated with increased frequency of lung lesions, including pneumonia, found in calves that died during the study (Waldner and Clark, 2009). The association between VOCs measured as benzene and respiratory lesions was most apparent in calves older than 3 weeks (Figure 3).
Increasing exposure to SO2 during gestation was also associated with more frequent changes in the skeletal and heart muscle observed in the calves that died during the study.
Figure 3. This figure describes the frequency of microscopic lung changes, including pneumonia, in calves of different ages that died during the study and were examined post mortem by the herd veterinarian. Note lung lesions were most common in calves that died after 3 weeks of age and were exposed to VOCs measured as the highest observed concentrations of benzene.
The immune system in these animals was evaluated using a series of measurements on blood and tissues. T-lymphocytes were found to be lower in calves exposed to the highest levels of benzene and toluene, which may make the animals less able to respond to infection. Numbers of two specific types of circulating T-lymphocytes were 42% and 43% lower, respectively, in calves exposed to the highest 25% of VOCs measured as airborne concentrations of benzene compared with calves exposed to concentrations in the lowest 25% (Bechtel et al., 2009b). A decrease in one type of T-cells in calves was also seen at the highest concentrations of toluene. Similarly, a 30% decrease in one type of T-lymphocytes was seen in yearling heifers exposed to the highest 25% concentrations of toluene (Bechtel et al., 2009c).
The World Health Organization (WHO) has examined similar human health questions. In a review and meta-analyses of approximately 200 peer-reviewed scientific reports the WHO developed guidelines for critical air pollutants (WHO, 2006). The WHO has established a 24-hour average maximum SO2 guideline of 20 µg/m3 (~7.7 ppb). The WHO also identified studies where increased mortality was associated with average SO2 concentrations as low as 5 µg/m3 (~1.9 ppb), which was within the concentrations reported in the cattle study described above.
Alberta has made considerable progress in reducing emissions from routine production activities (EUB ST60B, 2007). The Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Guidelines value for 24 hour average SO2 concentration were 125 µg/m3 (~48 ppb) (Alberta Environment, 2011) at the time this report was prepared.
Consult your veterinarian as soon as you suspect you might have a problem. Request that objective data and tissue samples are collected and preserved until the matter is resolved. Your veterinarian can help you document the exposure and current health of your herd.
Documentation is critical to examining livestock health problems that could potentially be associated with exposure to oil and gas industry emissions. Detailed records of herd management and both historical and current production have been very useful in successful investigations.
Notes, photographs, video, and samples are necessary to document when the exposure under investigation occurred and details about the type and extent of exposure.
These records need to be adequately detailed and accurate to demonstrate:
a sufficient period before exposure,
any substantial changes in:
feed consumption,
sickness or
treatments.
the role of adequate
parasite control,
vaccination,
breeding soundness evaluations of bulls,
routine herd management activities
any changes in herd health and performance.
The diagnosis of any adverse health and production effects of exposure to emissions from oil or gas production facilities often depends on elimination of all other possible causes. Therefore, extensive testing is often necessary to rule out other conditions (e.g. BVDV, other infectious diseases, nutritional deficiencies) and to document whether sufficient exposure occurred to potentially result in harm.
In many cases, the toxic compound may have dispersed from the air or animal tissues before diagnostic tests can be performed. Diagnostic tests are very expensive. As a result, it is very difficult to conclusively prove that oil and gas activity was responsible for a particular case of animal sickness or mortality. The producer must clearly demonstrate that herd management was not responsible for the observed changes.
In the case of accidental exposure to solids or liquids, both environmental and tissue samples can be collected to confirm exposure and analytically link the contaminant in the environment to any ingested by the animal.This requires careful coordination with a qualified laboratory to ensure the results of any testing will be meaningful.
In the case of exposure to gases, such as H2S or SO2, environmental samples and animals tissues are less likely to be available or appropriate for documenting exposure. This increases the importance of objectively ruling out other potential causes.

You want to make sure that your child with special needs is never subjected to discrimination and gets every opportunity he or she is entitled to. To be an effective advocate for your child, however, you need to understand the laws that are in place to protect children with special needs. Federal laws regulate special education services and make sure schools provide accommodations for children with disabilities. Almost all states now have anti-bullying laws on the books as well. With a more thorough knowledge of these laws, you'll better understand your child's rights and how to defend him or her against unfair or discriminatory treatment.
the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act website to learn more about how the act helps to safeguard your child's rights.
Provide free and appropriate public education. Schools are required to provide an education at public expense, under public supervision and direction.
Conduct an evaluation. Schools must gather the information necessary to help determine the child's educational needs and guide decision making about appropriate educational programming.
Produce an individualized education program. To ensure that the child's individual needs are met, schools must create a written statement of the educational program designed for the child.
Provide the least restrictive environment. Children with a disability are entitled by law to receive an appropriate education designed to meet their special needs. They must be separated from their nondisabled peers only when the nature of the disability is such that they cannot achieve in a general education classroom, even with supplementary aids and supports.
Offer opportunities for meaningful participation. Schools must provide opportunities for parents and students, when appropriate, to get involved throughout the special education process.
Implement procedural safeguards. Procedural safeguards ensure that the child's and his or her parents' rights are protected, and establish clear steps to address disputes. Procedural safeguards guarantee that parents can participate in meetings, examine all educational records and obtain an individual educational evaluation.
The IDEA's Part B also establishes the educational requirements for children with a disability from ages 3 to 21. To further explore how this legislation helps to safeguard your child's rights, visit the IDEA website, which covers such topics as discipline, early intervening services, identification of specific learning disabilities, individualized education programs and much more.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provides civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities. The ADA defines an individual with a disability as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered.
Title II of the ADA "prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities, including public elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools, regardless of whether they receive federal financial assistance. Title II requires that qualified individuals with disabilities, including students, parents, and other program participants, are not excluded from or denied the benefits of services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or otherwise subjected to discrimination by a public entity, by reason of a disability."
At the Department of Justice's ADA website, you'll find the full text of the ADA and additional information about the act, including lists of questions and answers about child care centers and the ADA and the Amendments Act of 2008 for Students with Disabilities Attending Public Elementary and Secondary Schools.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protects the rights of people with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance, including federal funds. Public school districts, institutions of higher education, and other state and local education agencies may all be recipients of these funds.
Section 504 helps children with disabilities to access school services by requiring schools to provide accommodations and modifications. But, unlike IDEA, it does not provide for an individualized education program. Even if a child does not qualify for special education services under the IDEA, he or she may be allowed special accommodations with this law. For example, a child who must use a wheelchair, but does not require special education services would be protected by Section 504.
The regulations implementing Section 504 in the context of educational institutions appear at 34 C.F.R. Part 104. This comprehensive list of more than 40 common questions and answers about Section 504 and the education of children with disabilities further explain how this legislation protects your child's rights.
The federal government's anti-bullying website defines bullying as "unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance." Making threats, spreading rumors, physically or verbally attacking someone, and deliberately excluding another person from a group all constitute bullying. In recent years, bullying has become the subject of increased media attention, particularly as technology and social media websites have given rise to "cyberbullying," occasionally with tragic consequences.
As of April 2012, every state in the nation, with the exception of Montana, had passed anti-bullying legislation. Using an interactive map at the StopBullying website, you can research your own state's laws and policies and find out more about the 11 key components of state anti-bullying legislation, including specification of prohibited conduct, development and implementation of local education agency policies, and training and preventive education.
The website also includes guidance prepared especially for kids, including "Facts about Bullying," "What You Can Do," and more than a dozen "webisodes" (cartoons that portray bullying situations and show kids how to address bullying) with accompanying quizzes.
Your school may have a policy related to discrimination, harassment or bullying. Familiarize yourself with your school's policy by reading the parent handbook or policy manual. If you can't find any information in the parent handbook, ask your school for a copy of its policy.
For more detailed information on the range of laws protecting children with disabilities, you may be interested in the Department Of Justice's Guide to Disability Rights Laws.


The theory of the subsequent infiltration of the gold is that generally accepted.
The remarkable " stone reefs " of the north-east coast are ancient beaches hardened by the infiltration of carbonate of lime.
The recent investigations already referred to indicate the desirability of curving dams in plan in order to reduce the possibility of tension and infiltration of water at the upstream face.
Calcium oxalate is a very common substance, especially in crustaceous lichens; fatty oil in the form of drops or as an infiltration in the membrane is also common; it sometimes occurs in special cells and in extreme cases may represent 90% of the dry substance as in Verrucaria calciseda, Biatora immersa.
Thus they are mainly responsible for the introduction of Islam with its Arabic or Persian civilization into India and Europe, and in earlier times their movements facilitated the infiltration of Graeco-Bactrian civilization into India, besides maintaining communication between China and the West.
A passing reference should be made to the Coptic abbot Shenout, who governed on similar lines the great " White Monastery," whereof the ruins still survive near Akhmim; the main interest of Shenout's institute lies in the fact that it continued purely Coptic, without any infiltration of Greek ideas or influence.
The peril from the infiltration of " revolutionary " ideas from without was met by the erection round the Austrian dominions of a Chinese wall of tariffs and censors, which had, however, no more success than is usual with such expedients.
The most that can be said to he capable of proof is the infiltration of some northern influence into Crete at the end of Minoan Period II.; but it probably brought about no change of dynasty and certainly no change in the prevailing race.

Juan Diaz: 'I don't think Flanagan would be able to handle my pressure'
A focused Juan Diaz sets his sights on a fifth world lightweight title
FRESH on the heels of his recent victory over Cesar Vazquez in Tucson, Arizona, USA, former four-time lightweight champion Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz (42-4, 21 KOs) sits down with Boxing News to discuss his comeback strategy, the state of the lightweight division, Flanagan, and flaky friends.
You returned to the ring three years ago, why the slow, systematic approach to your comeback?
I think my plan has always been to become a world champion and to capture that fifth world title. It has been strategic. It hasn't been about the money. I had a great (first) fight back with Golden Boy. After that fight in Corpus Christi, right away they wanted to put me against "Panterita" (Omar Figueroa). I said no and that's why it didn't really work out with Golden Boy. I'm not here for a payday. I'm not here to be anybody's stepping stone. I'm here to capture a fifth world title and I'm going to do it on my terms and on my time.
It's a mind thing. Being retired for two and a half years, I had jumped on the stair master maybe one day in that time. I didn't do no running. I didn't do no kind of exercise and after two and a half years of not doing anything, mentally, you're not going to be right and I didn't want to go into a big championship fight with those questions in the back of my head.
"I took my time. I wanted to build my confidence and my conditioning the way it was in the past and I believe now I've done it.
Did your move to Top Rank take place immediately after that fight?
It did not. We had, basically, one fight to gauge things. They wanted to gauge where I was at and I wanted to see how they were going to work with me. We had that fight for me to say "this is what I have," and for them to say "we see what you have and this is what we want to offer." Top Rank was very willing to work with me and to work on my schedule and on my plan so I told them that I wanted to capture a fifth world title. I wanted to take my time, to take it easy and to to build my way up to the championship. I didn't want any big money fights at that moment. They have been willing to work with me all the way through.
What changes have you seen in yourself and in the sport since you've been back?
The key difference now versus when I came back in 2013 is being able to control the fight and make it go as I want to. If you see my last two fights, I've been able to control when I want to fight, when I want to box. I'm able to move around the ring and gauge the guy and see where he's at. I'm able to see punches in slow motion like I did in the past. When I was a champion, from 2004-2007, I would step in the ring and see punches in slow motion. I was able to slip and bob and weave and turn away from punches, which was amazing but I wasn't getting that back in 2013. That right there told me that I needed more time to practice and improve my craft and now, after last Saturday, I can see all of that is back. I feel that I'm at the top of my game again.
How do you feel now as a 32-year-old compared to the days during which you were a young champion?
I can tell you the main difference is that I don't wake up in the morning like a spring chicken anymore (laughs). I feel the pain and the soreness a little more than when I was 23, 24, and 25. I used to get in wars in sparring, do all of my strength and conditioning, my running, and I'd get up like nothing the next day. Today it takes a little longer to get up and say let's do this.
The second key difference is that now I've slowed my pace down a bit. instead of throwing 80 punches per round, I've brought it down to 60 punches per round. I feel more effective. I'm landing at a higher rate than in the past. When i was throwing 80, I was landing 20%, now throwing 60 I'm more in the 30-40% connect rate.
Regarding the very competitive lightweight division, where do you see yourself fitting in?
I think after last week's victory, Vazquez is not a top ten contender let a lone a world champion, but I think my performance puts me up there with some of the top guys in the lightweight division . Now they're starting to say, "Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz is back," and I think it puts me up there because I have been a world champion. Not a one time world champion but a four time world champion and that adds credibility to my name and also the fact that I have had some wars. But not like the late Arturo Gatti or Jose Luis Castillo, or Antonio Margarito, guys that have been in wars and been beat up. I have been in some wars but I haven't been beat up physically or mentally. I think that gives me a little credibility. Even though I didn't beat a top ten contender in my last fight, I'm starting to beat these guys and making it look easy.
I see myself right there fitting right in next to them, competing with them at a top level and beating them. I believe that I have what it takes to become a world champion.
I've said it before, I'm not the hardest punching guy in the division I'm not a one punch knockout artist but I believe that my determination and my will is what carried me in the past to become a world champion and I still have that. I believe that my determination and my will to win is far greater than their determination, will to win and what they have inside of them. That's what will make me champion again. I have no quit in me, they have to carry me out in a stretcher before I quit.
How do you see the fight between Jorge Linares and Anthony Crolla going down?
Styles makes fights. Linares will have the edge because he is a boxer but if Crolla can keep good constant pressure, he can take the win.
How do you respond to the talk of you potentially facing Terry Flanagan in the future?
As far as the rumours are concerned, I think me and my team are probably the main ones begging for the fight and maybe starting some rumours. Not saying that we're going to fight but saying that we want to fight and maybe people take it from there.
As far as conversations with Top Rank, there's been no news since my last fight. We'll be talking to them sometime this week to see what's the plan for me for this year and next year so I'm hoping that that they're able to maybe squeeze me in to replace Verdejo. We hope that he heals rapidly and that didn't have any major injuries but, in the meantime, I'm going to express my feelings to my promoter that I want to bring a belt back to the states and into Top Rank.
How do you see that fight going against Flanagan?
Flanagan, of course, is the taller fighter. He's going to come out and try to box me. I'm going to be the shorter fighter. I think that at the beginning we might feel each other out but I plan on bringing it from the first round. I don't think he's going to be able to hang with the pressure that I bring and I think eventually I'm going to wear him down. I'm not going to say I will stop him but I will say that I can outwork him and out punch him and I don' think that he'll be able to keep up with my volume if we were to fight.
Please tell us about your current team.
My team is just as good or even better than in the past. I have my chief training Derwin Richards, 2nd trainer Timothy knight, and my 3rd trainer, who is also my brother, Jose Diaz. My Strength and Conditioning Coach, Brian Caldwell, has been with me since the beginning and he's sticking with me. He does a great job and Alex Parra who handles my marketing and is also in charge of setting up media interviews and making sure that the people know that I'm still relevant and here fighting for my fifth world title. That right there is what I would call my A-team. They help me stay focused and make sure I'm ready to step in the ring.
Has your family been supportive throughout this new phase of your career?
Oh man, my family has been supportive. I would have to say that that my family members have been the number one people who have supported me throughout my my career but even though they are supportive, they watch me very carefully, especially my mom and wife and they say 'look we rather you not fight, we want you here. If we see that you're not competitive in there and you start to get hit too much or we see a drastic change in you behavior, we're going to have to ask you to really consider maybe giving it up.' Both of them tell me, 'you have three kids now, three kids that you have to live for and sometimes it's not worth it to risk your life when you have everything you want at the palm of your hands.' They've been very supportive.
Friends, of course they always want to go to fights. but I'm going to tell you this. A lot of friends that I had in the past, they're starting to come back out of the woodwork and I thank them for the support and tell them that if ever want to hang out I'll call them but they'll never receive that phone call again (laughs). The people that are my friends, that I consider my friends, they know who they are. I can count them on one hand. Besides my brother and my team, I can count them with one hand and they know who they are.
Finally, what do you want to say to your fans.
I want thank all of my fans who have supported me throughout the years and who still support me now. We had a great response here on March 19 when I fought in Houston. We sold out the arena theater. Then I go to Tucson, Arizona, and the casino sells out two weeks before the fight. I definitely want to the thank the fans because, if it wasn't for them I would t be relevant. I wouldn't be on TV and promoters and writers wouldn't hear about me. Now they are hearing about me because I'm selling out these arenas and I'm on TV calling out guys and I'm looking good so I want to thank the fans of their support and helping bring me to the place that I am now.

January 9, 2020 19:48PM by Jane Meeker
The Duchess of Cambridge juggles her obligations with motherhood.
Kate Middleton isn't just kicking back and relaxing after joining the royal family. The Duchess of Cambridge has a variety of duties that she carries out while also being a mother to her three children. OKMagazine.com has gathered together some of the many obligations that fill her days.
Kate was just a normal girl before she was thrust on to the world stage when she married Prince William in April 2011. In an interview following the couple's engagement, Kate made it clear that she was ready and willing to roll up her sleeves and get to work.
"Everyone who I work with I think can see that I'm there pulling my weight and that's really what matters to me," she said.
Kate works on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II to connect with the people of the Commonwealth. She makes countless appearances at events and fundraisers in the United Kingdom, but she also travels overseas as an ambassador to the monarchy.
She is in charge of throwing royal events and garden parties for world leaders at Buckingham Palace.
Kate is also extremely passionate about her charitable causes. She is outspoken about the importance of mental health, and she championed the Heads Together mental health campaign in 2017. She also has a love for the arts and is the first royal patron of the Victoria and Albert museum.
William and Kate are parents to sons George and Louis and daughter Charlotte.
Kate and William and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were dubbed the "Fab Four" and poised to modernize the monarchy. However, Harry and Meghan shocked everyone by announcing their decision to step down as senior members of the royal family on Wednesday, January 8.
Watch the above video to find out more about Kate's royal duties, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

You'll be roaring for more with this comical hypnotist! Through post-hypnotic suggestions, she commands the winner of a million dollar lottery to jump up out of their seat screaming "I won, I won!" or an impression of Richard Simmons conducting a group exercise class. Whatever the skit, the antics are hilarious!


A viewing party was recently held on 3 Pavilion, the postpartum/newborn nursery wing at St. Peter's Hospital, to celebrate their role in the New York State Department of Health's (DOH) new educational video on newborn screening timeliness and proper specimen collection.

Jodhpur and I don't get off to the best start. Arriving at night following a bus journey during which I'd been groped by an old man and feeling dispirited, homesick and ill; I spend my first night eating dinner alone in an eerily empty restaurant on the edge of town, and wake up the next morning knowing that I can't stay where I am for the next three days. Always one for following my intuition, I go in search of somewhere else to stay and move into the old town that same morning.
Passing through the central market square where the clock tower stands seems like moving between two different worlds. On one side squats the ugly present day, its cracked roads and grey buildings a backdrop to the fumes, the littered rubbish and the poverty; and on the other the Brahmin blue of the old town unfolds, walls studded with hidden guesthouses and tiny hole in the wall shops, streets busy with cows and food vendors and trundling carts full of vegetables pulled by tiny barefoot men.
The fort towers above the town, birds wheeling around its high walls, flat roofed houses cascading down the hillside below. Narrow passageways and alleys wind through walls and houses daubed with chalky paint; indigo and azure and pale sky blue. The paint flakes and peels away, stones and old whitewashed posters showing through in ragged patches, the history of this place clearly visible in its layered walls. Local families live their daily routines outside in the shafts of afternoon sunlight; elderly women gather on doorsteps to chat and children run and laugh, chasing a bouncing tennis ball. A woman crouches over a bucket of washing, beating the clothes against the walls and leaving them out on the stones to dry. A girl calls out to me in greeting from a balcony, brushing water from her waist length hair, and an elderly man clutching a baby in a lime yellow jumper beckons me over to take his picture.
Every turn brings me to something unexpected, a hidden courtyard or a tiny temple set back in the wall. At one point I round a corner and find myself ankle deep in the middle of a farmyard, lazing cows flicking flies with languid tails and a dead pig at my feet. Eventually I emerge from the town and climb the last steep cobbled incline to the top, the fort above me glowing in the sun and the city spreading below me. I wander through the ancient beauty of the fort, the arched doorways and intricately carved balconies an echo of the stories of 1001 nights I loved as a child, and the maudlin ghosts of the dirty grey city are forgotten in the magical hush of ancient Rajasthan.
At night, the blue rooftops stand in stark contrast against a blaze of pink sky, casting long shadows on the streets, and the call to prayer booms out across the city. I feel at peace, comforted by the thousands of years of history pressing in on me from all sides, and ultimately at home in this strange and wonderful place.
Fantastic photos! India has so many bright colors bursting here and there that when I returned home everything seemed so grey and dull.
Once been in Nubra Valley, Ladakh, for a solo cycle ride, crossing world's highest motorable road, I was asked about my place. Instantly I noticed my outfits, it was light blue jeans & a blue top. As in high altitudes, feelings are real & strong, for the first time ever feeling for blue was so adorable.

Westfield City Council Gets Some Wood on the Ball!
In a Township of 56 Square Miles, many of which are occupied by the youth travel sports industry at Grand Park, tonight's Westfield City Council Meeting left me as curious as ever as a fiscally conservative taxpayer.
The mostly freshmen City Council has been hard at work for six months now. Alongside two incumbent councilors, they have divided into groups to tackle some pretty big challenges and the finances of the City of Westfield. Councilors Mike Johns and Cindy Spoljaric joined the Advisory Planning Commission (APC). Jake Gilbert and Scott Willis are tackling the Oversight Committee and current Council President, Joe Edwards, is working with Troy Patton and Scott Frei on the Finance Committee. Patton, a CPA, is the Chairman.
While Coronavirus brought public meetings to a standstill, they HAVE been occurring; just in a different format than to which we had grown accustomed. The Finance Committee, specifically, has been digging deep into Grand Park and Grand Junction Plaza. Of their last two meetings, each one detailed specific information about the projects, respectively. I'm certain everyone appreciates the transparency these committees are offering the taxpayers. The Westfield City Council took a big swing at managing lost revenues and the control of Grand Park tonight, by way of constructing an resolution. They definitely got some wood on the ball with this one, folks! Together, as the Council convened yet again via YouTube and Skype for its meeting tonight, they introduced two ordinances and one resolution; the last of which was deemed imperative; the "Resolution for Operation of Grand Park Contracts/Agreements," Resolution Number 20-128.
Heads were spinning as listeners were trying to get a handle on the Council's concerns. In the meantime the city administration, including Mayor Cook, seemed rattled as the meeting pressed on. This Council should be applauded for their persistence. Things you might consider regarding the history of agreements on Grand Park:
A February 2014 "Management Agreement" between the City of Westfield and the Indiana Bulls under Section IV. Revenue states, "The Bulls and the City shall share the first four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) of admission revenues related to all games, tournaments, competitions, practice sessions, and other events and activities at the Diamond Sports Facilities… For all Admission Net Revenues received in excess of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) in any year, the Bulls shall receive seventy percent (70%) and the City shall receive thirty percent (30%) of such revenues." Perhaps the Council would have argued for a more equitable split and apparently, this is an ongoing concern. Perhaps the contract is now a month-to-month, but it seems that this is a question that will remain unanswered until an audit is performed.
The same agreement stipulates 10 (ten) annual escrow payments (Section V.) beginning in 2015, of which only four could be located going back through the BullPen funds report since 2014 according to the Clerk Treasurer's office.
The "Assignments and Assumptions Agreement," signed solely by Mayor Cook in October 2014, gave management of the park from Indiana Bulls Baseball to Bullpen Tournaments.
In the "Lease Agreement" dated June 2017 between the City (signed by William Knox, Director of Grand Park) and Bullpen Tournaments, (signed by Ken Kocher, Owner of Bullpen Tournaments) promises $3,201 in monthly rent plus its "pro rata" share of the utilities for rental of an office building located in Grand Park. Technically, the Landlord is the Westfield Redevelopment Commission, yet according to the funds report, those payment amounts stopped in April 2018. If there's another agreement that exists which lowered the rent, the Westfield City Council remains unaware despite requests for transparency regarding the park.
While some might argue that not everything should be available in the public purview, certainly our City Council should be kept abreast of its financial endeavors. Is Grand Park and are we, the taxpayers, missing revenue because no one knows what to look for? Is Bullpen double-dipping Westfield taxpayers by collecting "gate fees" and by charging local teams more than the out-of-towners for the very fields we helped finance as Councilor Patton suggested? Does the signing authority fall to just one person or should it be preformed by the financial arm of our local government? How did we get this far down the road while taxpayers have remained on the hook and come out the losers on the fields, both literally and figuratively? Is this how government should operate?
Years after its opening, with enough money to finally cover employee overhead (for the first time in 2020); evidently the City has not collected nearly what it should have. The Council seems sure that an independent audit is the right thing to do and they should be congratulated on bringing the City's business into the daylight. Having passed Resolution 20-128 with 6-yeses and 1-abstention, our local city government is doing their best even when an online meeting goes a little sideways.
Ordinance Number 20-26 titled, "Transparency Related to Campaign Contributions" is simply written to clear up rules and requests regarding recusals. The other ordinance introduced tonight detailed plans to institute what some commonly refer to as "sunset clauses" though Ordinance Number 20-27 is technically called, "Ordinance to Amend Planed Unit Development Ordinance" pertaining to ongoing and/or never-constructed PUD's.
Transparency is finally the winner for taxpayers! This Council hit a home run by conducting the public's business in public! Hooray! In case you missed it, it's available here.

Since we cannot focus attention on anything (in this "plane") except one by one, the "one" focus would seem to be anything at all at any given moment. But I have a question please: from where came all the "background" objects and landscape -- such as, ancestry, place of birth, wealth status, and so forth? And, by extension, even the great Parasite Destroyer itself?

Welcome To The Sailor Moon Photo Gallery!
This is the Gallery, the pride and joy of the website. It's going under revamping, so please excuse the fact that there's basically nothing here for now! As part of its new image, I'm separating the pictures so that they are nice and organized. It'll make things easier for everyone!
Also, some of the pictures I had to edit logos/subtitles out of, and since I'm artistically challenged they'll stand out. I'll write something about that in the caption, as well as other various notable features regarding pictures in that section of the gallery. Still working on identifying all of them, though.
DISCLAIMER: I did not create the images myself, the animators of Sailor Moon did. However, I did take the pictures myself.

Alija Izetbegovic Quotes
Birth Date: 1925-08-08 (Saturday, August 8th, 1925)
Date of Death: 2003-10-19 (Sunday, October 19th, 2003)
Islam is the best, but we Muslims are not the best. The West is neither corrupted nor degenerate. It is strong, well-educated, and organized. Their schools are better than ours. Their cities are cleaner than ours. The level of respect for human rights in the West is higher, and the care for the poor and less capable is better organized. Westerners are usually responsible and accurate in their words. Instead of hating the West, let us proclaim cooperation instead of confrontation. - Alija Izetbegovic, cited in 'The Two Faces of Islam' by Stephen Schwartz
Sleep peacefully people, there will not be a war. (Narode, spavaj mirno, rata nece biti.) - Alija Izetbegovic, cited in Central Europe Review
Bosnia should be a secular state. A non-secular Bosnia would be terror. - Alija Izetbegovic for 'Start BiH Magazine', questions 28 and 29.)
This may not be a just peace, but it is more just than the continuation of war - Alija Izetbegovic quoted on BBC News
Do we want the Muslim peoples to break out of the cycle of dependence, backwardness and poverty? ... Then we can clearly show the way which leads to this goal: the generating of Islam in all areas of personal individual life, in the family and society, through the renewal of Islamic religious thought and the creation of a unified Islamic community from Morocco to Indonesia. - From 'The Islamic Declaration' (p. 5, link below)
The idea of Islamic renewal, which understands Islam as capable not only of educating human beings but also of ordering the world, will always have two types of people as its opponents: conservatives who want the old forms, and modernists who want someone else's forms. - ibid., p. 8
The briefest definition of the Islamic order defines it as a unity of religion and law, upbringing and power, ideal and interest, the spiritual community and the state, willingness and force... An Islamic society without an Islamic authority is incomplete and without power; Islamic government without Islamic society is either utopia or violence. Generally speaking, a Muslim does not exist as a sole individual. If he wishes to live and survive as a Muslim, he must create an environment, a community, a system. - ibid., p. 26
There can be no peace or coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic societies and political institutions. The failure of these institutions to function and the instability of these regimes in Muslim countries, manifest in frequent changes and coups d'etat, is most often the consequence of their a priori opposition to Islam, as the fundamental and foremost feeling of the people in those countries. - ibid., p. 30
There are immutable Islamic principles which order relations between people, but there is no Islamic economic, social or political structure which cannot be changed... Nothing which can make the world a better place can be rejected out of hand as non-Islamic; ... In order to be Islamic, a solution must fulfill two conditions: it must be maximally efficient and maximally humane. ibid., p. 31
Islam contains the principle of the umma, i.e. a tendency towards the unification of all Muslims in a single community - religious, cultural and political. Islam is not a nationality, but it is the supranationality of this community. - ibid., p. 36
The upbringing of the people, and particularly means of mass influence - the press, radio, television, and film - should be in the hands of people whose good Islamic moral and intellectual authority is indisputable. - ibid., p. 42
Islam must take the initiative of recognizing motherhood as a social function. Harems must be abolished. No one has the right to refer to Islam as a reason to keep women disenfranchised: abuse of this kind must be brought to an end. Such attitudes do not represent a Western feminism, which has displayed a tendency to impose the measures, whims and mastery of a depraved element among the female sex. Neither is this equality in the European sense. It is an underlining of the equal value of men and women, together with the underlining of the differences between them, which should be preserved. - ibid., p. 47
In the struggles for the Islamic order, all means are permissible except one: crime. No one has the right to defile the good name of Islam by the uncontrolled and superfluous use of force. The Islamic community should once more confirm that justice is one of its keystones... Formula: the aim justifies the means has become the cause of numberless crimes. A noble aim cannot command unworthy means... - ibid., p. 49
The Islamic order can only be established in countries where Muslims represent the majority of the population. If this is not the case, the Islamic order is reduced to mere power (as the other element - an Islamic society - is missing) and may turn to violence. The non-Muslim minorities within an Islamic state, on condition that they are loyal, enjoy religious freedom and all protection. - ibid., p. 49
When considering these matters, the dilemma inevitably arises - albeit only for a moment - that a shorter way to the Islamic order would be by taking power... This is mere temptation. History does not relate any true revolution which came from power. All began with education and meant in essence a moral summons. - ibid., p. 53
There is no secular principle, and the State must be for Muslims the scrupulous expression of the moral and conceptual pillar of the religion. - ibid.

Q: Loader Using HttpClient Interceptor Angular 4 How can i implement a loader using Angular 4 HttpClient Interceptor? I have done the login and attaching the authorization header and i wonder if i can also do the "loader function" if some data is loading in the process? I would like to attached a icon loader that signals if some data is loading. Here's my authinterceptor below by the way.
export class GithubAuthInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
  intercept (req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    const authReq = req.clone({
      headers: req.headers.set('Authorization', 'token')
    });
    return next.handle(authReq);
  }
}

A: Just for the sake of this question, I'm not going to go through creating a loader, and just talk about how you would implement an existing loader into the interceptor. Every time you make a call, the intercept() function is called. That means, at the beginning of the intercept() function, you should show a loader using an injected LoaderService whos job will be to show and hide a loader based on whether a call has been made and when it has been completed.
constructor(private loaderService: LoaderService) {
}

intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
  this.loaderService.show();
  const authReq = req.clone({
    headers: req.headers.set('Authorization', 'token')
  });
  return next.handle(authReq);
}

Then, you have to make sure the loader is hidden after the call has been completed. You can do this with the do operator.
return next.handle(authReq)
  .do(
  (response) => {
    if (response instanceof HttpResponse) {
      this.loaderService.hide();
    }
  },
  (error) => {
    this.loaderService.hide();
  });

Make sure to import the do operator: import "rxjs/add/operator/do";
Why do you have to check if (event instanceof HttpResponse)? This is because the HttpInterceptor intercepts ALL HttpEvents. This includes the HttpSentEvent, HttpProgressEvent, etc, but you don't want to hide the loader upon receiving those types of events. Only once you actually receive a response. And, of course, you will hide the loader if you receive an error. You can also put any other processes you may want to happen upon receive a response here in the do block. For example, storing an Auth token somewhere.
For how to create your own loader, I have found an article that goes through the steps of creating and implementing a loader. You can use this as a guide to creating a loader. You can just ignore the parts about implementing it with a custom HttpService because you won't need that since you're using the new Angular HttpClient.

From its headquarters in the Zambian capital of Lusaka, officials of the outlawed A.N.C. charged that the South African government was behind the murder of September, a "colored" (mixed race) native of Cape Town and longtime political activist. Her killing, said A.N.C. Spokesman Tom Sebina, was part of a "new campaign by South African death squads." In Paris French leftists organized a parade of 5,000 marchers in September's honor and led a window-shattering attack on Pretoria's tourist office.
The job was done swiftly and professionally. Dulcie September, 52, the Paris representative of the antiapartheid African National Congress, was about to turn the key to her office in a run-down building in central Paris last week when an assassin stepped up behind her and squeezed off six shots from a .22- cal. pistol equipped with a silencer. Several minutes later, a worker from a neighboring office found her lying in a pool of blood, dead of bullet wounds to the head. There were no witnesses, and because of the silencer, nobody even heard the gunshots.
South African Foreign Minister Roelof ("Pik") Botha responded with something less than an outright denial of Pretoria's complicity, saying merely, "The South African government cannot be held responsible for this deed." He suggested, without offering any proof, that "serious arguments" among antiapartheid organizations may have led to September's killing. Supporters of the nonracial A.N.C. have indeed been caught up in deadly battles with other political groups, including the blacks-only Azanian People's Organization and the Zulu-based Inkatha organization. Factional disputes also exist inside the A.N.C. French police, however, disclosed no evidence linking any group, of whatever political stripe, to September's murder.
Pretoria did claim responsibility last week for a cross-border attack on what it said was an A.N.C. guerrilla transit facility, situated twelve miles inside Botswana. South African forces staged a postmidnight raid on the house, shot to death four people asleep inside, including at least two Botswanan women, and escaped by helicopter after fire bombing the target. Said Defense Minister General Magnus Malan: "It is the policy of the South African government to combat terror wherever it may occur."
But that stern policy did not prevent the ruling National Party from suffering a parliamentary by-election defeat at the hands of the far-right Conservative Party, its third such loss in the past month. Last week's voting took place in the urban mining constituency of Randfontein, in the Transvaal, a sign that the fast-rising Conservative Party, long seen as the voice primarily of rural Afrikaners, is broadening its base. It was also a sign that the Conservatives, who hold 22 seats in Parliament, vs. the National Party's 133, could pose a serious threat in next October's municipal elections and in a nationwide parliamentary campaign scheduled for 1989.

PepsiCo invests again in Indiana snacks plant
PepsiCo is investing again in a snacks manufacturing plant in the US state of Indiana to add a production line.
By Dean Best
PepsiCo is investing US$70m to add another production line at a snacks manufacturing plant in the US state of Indiana.
The construction of the new line for Cheetos snacks at the facility in Frankfort – and expansion of warehousing – is expected to begin in the fourth quarter and be completed during the second quarter of 2021.
Frito-Lay currently employs 1,100 people across two sites in Frankfort. The new line will be the third to be added at the Frankfort East plant. In 2018, the company said it was installing two new lines and expanding storage space with an investment of $159m.
Of those two lines, one producing tortilla chips is expected to start manufacturing in the fourth quarter of this year. The other making Funyuns snacks is set to be ready in "early Q1 2020", the company told just-food.
PepsiCo said in a statement: "Frito-Lay has been part of the Frankfort community for more than 30 years. With the two production facilities, the combined Frankfort site makes up one of the largest Frito-Lay production operations. Frito-Lay continuously evaluates expansion projects across the US, and Frankfort specifically was selected due to its enhanced overall site capabilities."
The investment follows an announcement in May of a new facility in the Mexican city of Guanajuato to produce snacks sold under the Cheetos, Doritos and Sabritas brands.
Elsewhere, PepsiCo recently revealed it will no longer make snacks in the Philippines, including the Cheetos brand, as it focuses on its "core" beverages operations in the country.
