If you are overweight, you only have to shed a few pounds to see massive health benefits. Losing just 5-10% of your body weight will lower blood pressure, reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease, and lower your intake of bad cholesterol. There is also evidence that lower weight corresponds to greater longevity. Losing body fat and creating lean muscles will also improve your overall body shape, while extra muscle will give you a better posture and more energy.
According to a recent study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, the 'greatest threat to health is not the ageing process itself but inactivity'. Moderate physical exercise has been proven to delay the effects of ageing, even if you only start doing it later in life, and possibly increase longevity. The study clearly demonstrated that regular vigorous exercise of just 30 minutes a day is associated with increased life expectancy. Several other studies have shown that colon cancer is reduced by 30% in individuals who exercise regularly.

Hold (and Relist?) Watch
Posted Fri, March 2nd, 2012 10:58 am by John Elwood
John Elwood reviews Monday's relisted and held cases.
It's finally happened: This week's Relist Watch is, well, relist-free. Thankfully, I had the foresight to include the "and hold" parenthetical, so I still get to spout off to my readers. Both of you.
Before delving into this week's holds, let's take a few moments to reflect on the brief lives of last week's first- (and only-) time relists. Gore v. United States, 11-6606, concerned whether a felony conviction under Texas law for conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery is a "violent felony" for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act. And Tracey v. United States, 11-6971, concerned the constitutionality of a rather broad warrant authorizing police to search for any item representing "possible exploitation of children." Both died a quiet death just one day after they were identified in my last post with nary a dissent from denial of cert. To quote one of Chief Justice Rehnquist's favorite (or at least most-invoked) poems, "full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on the desert air."
Monday's order list yielded eight new holds. The first up has a name that might be familiar: Hartman v. Moore, 11-836, the latest iteration of the Hartman v. Moore (2006) that yielded a five-two opinion holding that a plaintiff who brings a First Amendment claim for retaliatory prosecution must allege and prove that the criminal charges were brought without probable cause. This time around, Reichle v. Howards, 11-262, appears to have stolen Hartman's spotlight. Like Reichle, Hartman concerns whether law enforcement agents are entitled to qualified immunity if they reasonably believed probable cause existed for a retaliatory arrest. Both the D.C. Circuit (Hartman) and the Tenth Circuit (Reichle) denied the officials qualified immunity from Bivens damages.
The ranks of cases on hold for the Fair Sentencing Act duo Dorsey v. United States, 11-5683, and Hill v. United States, 11-5721, swelled further Monday. Along with Dorsey, Hill, and seemingly countless others, Moore v. United States, 11-7558, and Gibson v. United States, 11-8268, involve retroactivity of the FSA amendment reducing the sentencing disparity between crack-cocaine and powdered-cocaine convictions. Meanwhile, Al-Madhwani v. Obama, 11-7020, is one in a series of Guantanamo detainee case that are slowly making their way through briefing. As I mused back in January, my guess is that these are being held until the briefing is complete in all of them.
Two cases come out of state courts. Newbold v. North Carolina, 11-6624, appears to be a straightforward hold for Martinez v. Ryan, 10-1001. Similar to Martinez, Newbold raises the question whether pro se inmates, convicted by guilty pleas, have a constitutional right to counsel in a post-conviction proceeding that presents the first opportunity to review their guilty pleas. Martinez was argued way back on the second day of the Term; we should be seeing an opinion soon. Meanwhile, Haley v. Georgia, 11-6870, is probably a hold for United States v. Alvarez, 11-210, the First Amendment challenge to the Stolen Valor Act. Haley participated in an online murder mystery game under the moniker "catchmekiller," in which he would upload YouTube videos giving participants clues that would lead to the bodies of the 16 people he "murdered." Instead of making everything up, though, Haley used information from real-life murders for his posts. Perhaps not surprisingly, he was eventually called in for questioning by officials investigating one of the real murders. Haley ultimately was charged with and convicted of violating a Georgia law that makes it a felony to "knowingly and willfully . . . make[] a false . . . statement . . . in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of state government or of the government of any county, city, or other political subdivision of this state." In his cert. petition, Haley contends that the conviction violates his First Amendment rights, and asks the Court to hold the case pending the decision in Alvarez (and cites last week's Arneson v. 281 Care Committee, 11-535, which also appears to be a hold for that case).
Finally, more to love for the tax nerderati: Two cases out of the Fifth Circuit, Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Equipment Holding Co., 11-657, and Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. R and J Partners, 11-763, appear to be on hold for the Court's decision in United States v. Home Concrete & Supply, 11-139. By my count, that makes at least six cases (see here and here) raising the apparently quite common issue whether an understatement of gross income attributable to an overstatement of basis in sold property is an "omi[ssion] from gross income" that triggers an extended six-year assessment period.
If it was dull, at least it was short. I make no promises for next week.
Thanks yet again to Eric White for compiling and drafting this update.

Small Kids, Big Words
Research-based strategies for building vocabulary from preK to grade 3
by Laura Pappano
Morning meeting begins with—no surprise—the weather. But when preschool teacher Radha Hernandez describes the drenching winter downpour, she doesn't reach for a rainy day symbol to stick on a calendar. She reaches for words.
"I was curled up under the covers. I was cozy, toasty warm and outside I heard an am-a-a-a-zing thing," says Hernandez, a founding teacher at Lee Academy, a pilot school in Boston serving children from age three to third grade. "Thunder! Thunder! I heard thunder outside my window. It was a loud, crashing, booming sound."
The ten children clustered in a horseshoe on the rug (two others will arrive later) perk up. Timmy insists he didn't hear it. No one believes him, but he stands his verbal ground. "I didn't want to hear it and so that is why I didn't listen," he says.
Molly, who's four, adds, "I guess he was ignoring it."
It is, of course, always cute when small kids use big words. But a growing body of research and classroom practice show that building a sophisticated vocabulary at an early age is also key to raising reading success—and narrowing the achievement gap. At schools like Lee Academy, teachers are overcoming the age-old habit of speaking to young children in simplified language and instead deliberately weaving higher-level word choices into preschool and primary grade classrooms. Whether it's a discussion at morning meeting, informal talk at the block area, or a selection of read-aloud books, teachers are exposing younger children to language that, in many cases, exceeds the vocabulary level of a typical conversation between college graduates.
Since researchers Todd Risley and Betty Hart articulated the power of early communication at home on children's future literacy in their landmark 1995 book, Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experiences of Young American Children, there has been a shift in thinking about how teachers should use words in the earliest years. Instead of sticking with simple words that children can easily grasp (and maybe sound out), researchers say that teachers should help students stretch their capabilities to build a vocabulary that can serve as a reservoir for conceptual understanding. These words are being highlighted in new curricula and teaching practices aimed at students in preK through third grade and beyond (see sidebar "Vocabulary Development from PreK–3"). Vocabulary Development from PreK-3
Daniel Pallante, president of the Ohio Educational Development Center and founder of the Collaborative Language and Literacy Instruction Project (CLLIP), whose program has been used in Ohio schools for the past decade, helps teachers teach high-level words to children at different ages. Here are some of his guidelines for early vocabulary building:
Preschool: Teachers should pick out four to five Tier 2 words a week that relate to "big-time" concepts like "ocean," which not only connect to children's experiences but can be extended to touch on larger concepts and related words.
Kindergarten: As children get into word reading, it's valuable to talk about the structure of words: how words—like block towers—can be taken apart or built from smaller pieces, and how that changes what they mean. He suggests concentrating on four to five words a week.
First grade: Children are ready to amplify their vocabulary learning by drawing inferences around six to seven target words each week.
Second grade: Students are ready to develop dictionary skills around seven to ten target words a week to begin to investigate multiple meanings.
Third grade: Students may target eight to ten new words weekly, extending their dictionary skills to think about which of a target word's multiple meanings may be most relevant for a particular discussion.
For all students preK–3: Teachers should use interactive strategies to engage students. For example, if a story uses the word "risk," a teacher might say, "I am going to give you some scenarios and if I describe one that is taking a risk, say, 'Oh no!'" A teacher might then describe going swimming without a lifeguard (risky) and checking out a library book (not risky). Teachers can also send students home to find all the places a certain word turns up or make versions of Jeopardy to play in the classroom. "We have teachers who tell us they won't read a book any more without doing these interactive strategies," he says. "They say, 'Otherwise it's not fun for me or for the kids.'"
"When you hear adults talking to children in preschool, they are often using very low-level, common words as opposed to rarer and more high-level words," says Judy Schickedanz, professor at the Boston University School of Education, whose Opening the World of Learning (OWL) curriculum is used at Lee Academy. "If we want to close the achievement gap, we need kids to have a more technical vocabulary." Schickedanz believes exposing children to specialized words related to specific fields gives them access to sophisticated ideas and jumpstarts higher-level learning.
Unlike math, in which some skills (like addition and subtraction) must be learned before a child can master others (multiplication and division), most researchers agree that it is not necessary for children to learn simple words first. Nor does direct vocabulary instruction need to wait until children have learned to read well enough to decode the words they are learning. In fact, researchers say teaching "rich"—or rare—words orally by explaining them and using them in different contexts aids children later when they encounter those words in print.
Researchers disagree somewhat about which words kids should learn, and precisely how many words they can learn at once. Some researchers observe that word learning tends to follow certain patterns, and argue that teachers should target vocabulary words accordingly. Others emphasize the importance of connecting words to content. However, all agree that key to helping disadvantaged students grasp the "academic" language considered essential to school success is to give them what privileged students have in their home environments: High-level talk with rich vocabulary they can absorb and make their own.
Andrew Biemiller, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto and author of the forthcoming Words Worth Teaching, says by the end of second grade, an average student knows 6,000 root words. Children with weak vocabularies know about 4,000 root words, while children in the top 25 percent of vocabulary acquisition know 8,000 root words—twice as many as the weakest students. This is why he says students must be taught high-level words earlier. "Everyone says, 'Well, when they learn to read they will pick up the vocabulary they need,'" says Biemiller. Unfortunately, he says, students with weak vocabularies "are already years behind when that happens."
Focus on Tier 2 Words
Teachers of preschool, kindergarten, or even primary grade students may feel odd punctuating their conversations with advanced words like "reluctant" or "commotion," but Schickedanz insists that in word learning "there isn't a developmental unfolding." While very young children don't use vocabulary as precisely as older ones (they may use "run" where an older child uses "dashed" or "raced" or "scampered"), there is no requirement to learn certain words before others, she says.
"Words are not related hierarchically. You can know 'saturated' before you know 'soak,'" says Isabel Beck, professor emerita at the University of Pittsburgh and author of Creating Robust Vocabularies: Frequently Asked Questions and Extended Examples.
But which words to teach? The most widely accepted framework for vocabulary teaching was developed by Beck and her colleagues Margaret McKeown and Linda Kucan. In their book Bringing Words to Life: Robust Vocabulary Instruction, they label as Tier 1 words like "farm" and "zoo," which children acquire on their own by listening to adults, peers, and other sources of language in the environment. These words, they say, don't need to be taught.
By contrast, Tier 3 words are technical words connected to a particular field, such as medicine or engineering. Experts disagree about the value of teaching young children these words. Some (like Schickedanz) say they are key to unlocking information, while others argue that students will acquire them when (and if) they study that discipline.
There is little disagreement, however, that the long list of words in the vast middle—what Beck and colleagues call Tier 2 words—is where teachers should put the most energy (see table "Tiered Words").
Tiered Words
By first or second grade, students have acquired many vocabulary words on their own. These words, called Tier 1 words, don't need to be taught. By contrast, higher-level words (Tier 2 and Tier 3) must be explicitly taught to students.
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3
Words children pick up on their own without instruction Words important to academic success that must be explicitly taught Words more technical in nature associated with special fields
school avoid temperature
mother vanished hibernate
tiny evade migrate
huge exhausted saddle
walk longed magnet
unhappy urgent prescription
laugh jubilant python
beautiful crafty wildflower
animals gratitude acrobat
birthday resemble wheat
clock coincidence peninsula
baby absurd isotope
Source: Isabel Beck
Some researchers have developed lists of target words within this group. Biemiller's list, for instance, is based on typical patterns of word acquisition. Others, however, advise culling Tier 2 words from actual texts, curriculum frameworks, and even picture books to expose children to the academic language they will need to be successful in their particular school's curriculum. One teacher, for example, reads through books and uses Post-Its to mark sophisticated words that she thinks her particular students should know.
One can teach Tier 2 words to children of any age, says Beck, as long as teachers keep two things in mind: First, the child must have control of the underlying concept—knowing about wetness to understand "saturate" and "drench." Second, she says, it's essential "that you can explain [the new word] in words that are not harder than the target word."
One reason it is so critical to teach children Tier 2 words, says Nonie Lesaux, associate professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is that when children begin reading independently at age 4 or 5, they need to understand 95 percent of the words in a text in order to be able to make sense of it.
"Students need to really know the words, not just have seen them before," says Lesaux, who estimates children need 13 to 15 exposures to a word in different contexts and at different times to own a word's meaning. "A lot of kids have a really shallow grasp of a lot of words. It's not that they don't have language, but their depth of word knowledge is too limited to be good readers. You need a good understanding of a word so when you come across it in context, you can conjure up some idea about that word. When [students] have one very narrow definition of a word, that just doesn't give them enough traction when they are reading independently."
Linking Vocabulary to Content
At Lee Academy, where 67.1 percent of the students are categorized as low income by the state Department of Education, teachers focus on words related to specific content and use a four-step process for teaching them. Using the OWL curriculum, says reading support teacher Heather Nord, preschool teachers choose a theme such as "wind and water." Using six books related to the theme, they target 60 key words during a four-week unit.
Teachers read each book four times, using a different approach each time. The first time, Nord says, teachers verbally highlight targeted vocabulary words and post them on cards. The second time, they reconstruct the story, with children helping to retell. The third time, the teacher leaves out words, which children fill in orally. The fourth time, children act out the story. The aim? Experience the words, the concepts, the story itself.
Helping children grasp complicated words—even if they cannot recognize the same words in print—makes perfect sense to Lee preschool teacher Hernandez. "These children are not reading independently," she says of her classroom of four- and five-year-olds, "but their ability to capture the meaning of a story highly depends on understanding what the words mean."
Diane August, senior research scientist at the Center for Applied Linguistics, says that helping students build high-level vocabularies to access content is particularly important for English Language learners (ELLs).
August is conducting a randomized trial with K–3 students in seven schools in Brownsville, Texas, evaluating the impact of teachers' efforts to increase students' oral language proficiency and vocabulary. Ninety-eight percent of the students speak a language other than English at home. August has observed that without specific vocabulary instruction, many ELLs can't understand their textbooks. "What drives what I am doing is giving kids access to content," she says.
For teachers participating in her study, August selects vocabulary from student textbooks in math, science, and social studies. "It starts with the district curriculum—what words do they need to know, what concepts do they need to understand?" says August. She then refines the list by comparing high-frequency words in the textbooks with the Living Word Vocabulary, a national inventory of 43,000 word meanings showing the percentage of students who know the word at various grade levels.
The point, she says, is not just for students to memorize or define a word, but to have them use the word. To explain "erosion," for example, students look at picture cards showing different types of erosion (water and wind), talk about what it means in Spanish, say the word aloud in English several times, describe what it means in English, and perhaps turn and talk with a partner about how a certain photo illustrates erosion.
This approach—in which students discuss words, speak them aloud, demonstrate their meanings, and interact with one another around the word—is common across vocabulary-centered curricula in classrooms from preK to third grade.
Reaping Results in Appalachia
While schools across the country are beginning to embrace vocabulary-centered instruction, in one rural Appalachian community in Ohio this approach is already reshaping student test results. For the past five years teachers at Millersburg Elementary School in West Holmes, a community in which only half of the adults have completed high school, have been participating in the Collaborative Language and Literacy Instruction Project created by Daniel Pallante of the Ohio Educational Development Center.
Third grade teacher Kelly Collett, for example, who has 27 students and no aide, talks boldly about Tier 2 words, which she covers at the rate of 12–16 per week. She urges students to be "word finders," keeps a "word wall," and gives silent cheers when a child uncovers a great word. When she reads aloud to her class, she pauses mid-sentence to talk about word meanings and—as Lee Academy preschool teachers do—gets children physically involved, telling them to give a thumbs up if they hear a target vocabulary word.
Acquiring rich words with complex meanings has not always been considered important in West Holmes. "Parents are more concerned here with, 'Can my child read?'" says Collett. But, she points out, background knowledge about rich words is critical to reading. "I tell them, 'Your vocabulary—the words you speak—makes you smart and makes you sound smart.'"
The approach is working. Third-grade passing rates on the state reading exam rose from 77 percent in 2003–2004 to nearly 87 percent in 2006–2007. As an indicator of the challenge the district faced before the program began, in 1998 (before third graders were tested) only about half of fourth graders met state reading standards, compared with 85.3 percent last year.
"We're just seeing tremendous results," says Superintendent Joe Parish, noting that in addition to test scores he sees more engaged teachers. Before, he says, "we heard teachers saying, 'There is a certain population of my students I have never been able to reach.' Now they see the results of what they are doing. Our teachers are driven by that."

Fighting for Military Families for 45 Years and Counting!
The year was 1969. Our troops were far away fighting a war that was becoming more unpopular at home. Women's lib was catching on, but military wives were dismissed as "dependents," whose place was in quiet support of their husbands' careers. Their roles were as hostesses and volunteers, equipped with the right hat, shoes, and gloves for each occasion.
Most of those "dependent wives" didn't know there were no Department of Defense survivor benefits and that their income would stop when their retiree spouse died. Tired of watching their friends become destitute, a small group of women met around a kitchen table in Annapolis, Maryland and formed the Military Wives' Association (later the National Military Family Association). They decided to wage war on these inequities and pledged to fight for the same pension for military widows that widows of retired federal civilian workers received.
The year is now 2014. Our troops are far away fighting a war that most Americans forget is happening. Budget cuts are making military people a target for last minute deals. Meanwhile, military spouses—male and female—continue to support their service members through recovery of visible and invisible wounds. They endure frequent moves that hurt their own careers. They deal with deployments that test the strength of their families. They support their service member and others in their communities as volunteers, caregivers, advocates, and good neighbors—hat and gloves no longer necessary, heels optional.
Our Association has made a difference for military families for 45 years because of the military families who have joined us in speaking out, connecting, sharing their stories, and supporting each other. We'll channel their voices—and those of all military families—this anniversary year to fight to end the inequities that put them at risk. We will work to ensure families can connect with the resources they need to thrive in military life, to speed military spouses' journey to work and career, to find quality education for their children, and to gain timely access to quality health care. We will help military families find strength while dealing with deployment; the return of their service member, however changed; or a transition to civilian life.
We'll continue our fight on behalf of military families as we remind our Nation's leaders, and its citizens, of the obligations all Americans share to ensure that the strength of our military and our country starts with its people—and their families. There's no better way to celebrate 45 years of service to military families than by fighting for them every day of the year!

Richard Stroner, commander of American Legion Post 191 in Webster City addresses the Webster City High School audience on Veterans Day.
Editor's note: Richard Stroner, American Legion Post 191 commander, addressed the audience at Webster City schools on Veterans Day. This is the text of the speech he delivered at Webster City High School.
Ladies, Gentlemen, Students, Staff, and Veterans,
Welcome to today's ceremony and thank you for attending. My name is Richard Stroner, I am the Webster City American Legion Commander, a 25-year veteran of the U.S. military, and I am honored to be speaking with you today on this special occasion. We are here today to honor our service members, to remember the sacrifices they made, and the courage it took to defend this country.
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, the fighting of World War I ended in 1918.
At the end of World War I, which was deemed "the war to end all wars," November 11th became a day of celebration and was named Armistice Day to honor the veterans of that war.
In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, November 11th was renamed Veterans Day to honor all veterans who served America and defended democracy.
So today we honor all our veterans, whether they have served, or are currently serving in the military, the reserves, or the national guard. They were willing to defend our freedoms with their lives if necessary.
Those men and women were ordinary people who responded to our nation's call — in peace and war times. They left their families, their homes, and their lives, not to be honored for their deeds or the fame of their accomplishments. They served and fought to protect our country and to maintain our way of life. They rose to the nation's call because they wanted to protect a nation which has given them and us so much. Our freedoms that we enjoy and take for granted today are a result of the sacrifices that veterans have made and continue to make for this country.
People ask me what it means to have served in the military and to be a veteran and after thinking about my answer is…
Serving in the military changed my life. After high school I went to college to become a fisheries biologist and after a year and half my grades were bad and I left school. The year was 1969 and I knew that I could get drafted and I decided to enlist. My father, who was a World War II veteran, advised me to join a military branch that offered me a chance to get as much education as I could get.
I ended up choosing the Air Force. After my aptitude tests were finished, they offered me a chance to go into the electrical field and that was the start of my career. I spent 16 months in electrical schools during the first seven years of service and was stationed in Mississippi, Montana, Michigan, The Philippines, Labrador, Canada; and Florida.
I had a top-secret clearance and some of the things we did were not declassified until 1998.
I was offered the chance to work on a CIA site in a foreign country, and work on the Presidents Communications Team. During this time, I used the educational opportunities that were offered to finish my first degree and then used my GI bill benefits to get my second one.
The next 18 years of my military career were spent in the Air Force Reserve, the Army Reserve, and the Iowa Army National Guard.
During that time, I worked in a psychological operations battalion and we developed ways to influence people using radio, TV and print media. During that time I also had the opportunity to work on the equipment for Radio Free Europe.
We were the Facebook and Twitter of the 1980s.
During the floods of 1993 while in the National Guard I had the honor to help fellow Iowans, providing them with drinking water and repairing state facilities electrical flood issues from Des Moines to Burlington.
My military career made me mature as a person, realize my potential, and molded me into who I am today.
Being a veteran made me appreciate the honor that it has been to serve this country. A veteran understands that when they raise their hand and swear to support and defend this nation that they could be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms.
To all my military brothers and sisters, for your display of courage, fortitude and commitment to our country, I want to extend a warm thank you. God bless you and your families, and God bless America.

Florida law allows injured victims to receive compensation for economic losses, like medical bills and lost wages. But the full extent of any person's injuries goes far beyond these losses.
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, you can also receive money for the pain and suffering that you have endured. "Pain and suffering" is an umbrella term that includes compensation for things like physical pain, inconvenience, and mental stress. After a spinal cord injury, your pain and suffering compensation could be considerable.
But You Don't Feel Pain if You are Paralyzed, Right?
True, loss of sensation usually accompanies paralysis. But pain and suffering damages go beyond merely physical pain. The inability to walk and use your arms are serious losses that reduce the quality of a person's life. For this reason, you are entitled to compensation for pain and suffering if you have suffered a spinal cord injury.
This is tricky. When you ask for compensation for your medical expenses, you can submit all your bills and receipts for things like prescription drugs. All a jury has to do is add up the amounts.
Pain and suffering is harder to translate into dollars and cents. A jury will need to rely on its experience and ask, "How much money could compensate someone for never being able to walk again?" When disabilities are permanent, our clients usually receive much more in pain and suffering than someone who had injuries that lasted only a few months.
Are There Ways to Estimate the Amount?
Yes. As experienced spinal cord injury lawyers, we have handled many cases that have resulted in settlements or jury verdicts, so we have a sense of how much you could receive. Remember, not all spinal cord injuries are the same. Some can get better with rehabilitation, and some only affect half of the body or impair only certain functions. There are many variables to consider.
If you or a loved one has suffered spinal cord damage, help is available. The team at Dolan Dobrinsky Rosenblum can analyze your case and help you understand your chances for receiving compensation. All you need to do is call us, 305-371-2692.
Our consultations are free and entirely no-risk. Please avoid delay.

Amid the towering skyscrapers of downtown Dubai lies the Bastakiya Quarter, the city's historic district. This former fishing village earned its name from the numerous Bastak (Iranian) traders that settled here in the 19th century. The charming little neighborhood houses the popular outdoor café, the Arabian Tea House, and several art galleries that feature the work of local and international artists, among others. Some of the restored buildings also include wind towers, which was an early form of air conditioning. The Dubai Museum is also located here.
Recent visitors found the Bastakiya Quarter to be a nice respite from the glitz and glam of downtown Dubai, and enjoyed seeing what the city looked like before all of its developments came to fruition. Some recommend taking a quick and affordable abra (boat) ride across the Dubai Creek to a market, where trying the street vendor's ice cream and purchasing Arabic perfume are musts.
You'll find the Bastakiya Quarter near the Dubai Museum along the south bank of Dubai Creek in the Bur Dubai district. You can reach the area by waterbus from the Dubai Old Souk dock or by metro from the Al Fahidi station; to learn more, visit our guide to Getting Around Dubai. You can explore the Bastakiya Quarter at any time of day, free of charge. Keep in mind that temperatures are at their highest in the afternoon, so consider stopping by during the evening to save yourself from a sunburn.

#1 Dubai Mall
Skirting the Burj Khalifa in downtown Dubai is every shopper's paradise. The massive Dubai Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the world and houses more than 1,300 stores. Even if you aren't interested in buying anything, a visit to this immense retail center is a must: The Dubai Mall also contains numerous entertainment facilities, such as an ice rink, a movie theater and several kid-friendly attractions, including an aquarium that houses thousands of underwater creatures. If you happen to be around at night, stop by the Dubai Fountain outside of the mall. Created by the team who designed the Bellagio's famous dancing fountains, the fountain features nightly shows set to a mix of western and eastern music.
Visitors were taken by how much was at the mall – everything you could possibly need can be found inside its sprawling square footage. A few visitors were keen to point out that you might not want to shop here after all. Because so much is imported, some reviewers found prices to be higher in comparison to what they've seen at home. Still, many said that shouldn't stop you from popping in for a visit. Of course, if you're on the hunt for a taste of Middle Eastern culture, this isn't the place to experience it. It is, however, a great escape from the heat, according to travelers.

Do You Remember...Scrooge (1935)
He's so miserly, he won't buy a comb for the office!?
What's your favorite filmed adaptation of the Dickens' book 'A Christmas Carol?' Most critics quibble between the 1951 version starring Alastair Sim and the 1984 version with George C. Scott. But viewers' favorites usually depend upon which version they grew up watching.
The 1935 version entitled Scrooge starring Seymour Hicks has become more popular in recent years. For decades it was ignored by broadcasters who preferred to air either the 1938 or the 1951 versions on television. The former is a theatrical release with Reginald Owen playing Scrooge. This version was known as the first Hollywood adaptation of Dickens' book. The 1951 Sim version replaced the earlier American version on television. But in the last handful of years, the 1935 version has also become easy to find on TV schedules each December.
The actor Seymour Hicks who portrays Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1935 version had performed the role many times before--on the stage as well as in an early silent film version. In fact, this 1935 version is the first feature-length filmed adaptation produced with sound. Over the years, this film like many others, has suffered from being edited and cut down, running as short as 60 minutes. However in the last few years, the uncut 78 minute full length version has become easily accessible for viewing.
The trimmed down scenes include:
~~the two charity collectors' scene in the beginning may be entirely absent
~~there's a significant portion of the Cratchit family Christmas dinner during Scrooge's visit with the Ghost of Christmas Present cut short
~~the party at his nephew Fred's house during Scrooge's visit with the Ghost of Christmas Present may be entirely absent
~~a much longer scene depicting the sadness of the Cratchit family upon losing Tiny Tim in Christmases Yet to Come is missing
~~there are several minutes of footage from scenes of Christmas morning missing including Scrooge shaving, going to the poulterer's shop, snow falling on his head, meeting up with the charity collectors and Scrooge joining the Cratchit family at church.
These above moments collectively amount to seventeen minutes of footage cut out. That's quite significant considering how popular and well-known this story is to the average viewer.
However, the 1935 version has its own distinctive style of storytelling and contains scenes not seen in other versions. One such is the depiction of how Scrooge spends his Christmas Eve. In this scene, he is seen alone, patronizing a very simple tavern for his evening meal that is cross-cut with a very lavish holiday party and dinner for London's wealthiest residents. In another, the ghost of Jacob Marley is invisible and only heard by Scrooge. Another is that the Ghost of Christmas Past is seen as an ethereal spirit, a stylized special effect rather than a traditional actor in a costume. Similarly, the Ghost of Christmas Future is depicted merely as a shadow. Ebenezer has visions of his Christmases past but doesn't physically journey to the past as he does in most other filmed versions. Scrooge's past does not include visions of his school days and his sister Fan as it does in the original book. Rather, Scrooge's visions of his past begin with Belle ending their engagement. And, on Christmas morning, the charwoman brings Scrooge his breakfast and his excited behavior causes her to fear he's gone mad. This scene is not in the original book. Neither is the final scene of the movie where Scrooge joins the Cratchit family at church.
TRIVIA: the great Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans appears in the small role of a poor man requesting an extension on his debt during Scrooge's vision of his Christmas Past. TV junkies may recognize Evans as the actor who played Samantha's father on the 1960s TV series Bewitched.
Of course, watch the 1935 version yourself. Let me know what you think. Below is the uncut, full length unedited version. Or, you can watch it at Archive.org.

Why Do Healthcare Professionals Still Choose Mercury Sphygmomanometer?
Monitoring your blood pressure regularly provides a number of benefits. First, it lets you make early diagnosis of abnormal blood pressure level. From the BP monitoring result, you and your doctor are able to determine what is the best care or treatment for your condition. Another advantage of checking your blood pressure is that it makes you become more responsible at the same time boosts your self-control. Being at risk of hypotension or hypertension likewise enables you learn how to avoid those things that will aggravate your condition. And with that, you gain a stronger sense of responsibility. Moreover, maintaining your BP reading within normal level definitely reduces your healthcare expenditure.
Checking your BP level is not possible without the aid of a blood pressure device called sphygmomanometer. It is one of the most important medical instruments that should always be found in every home. The sphygmomanometers, just like any other hospital and home medical instruments, have also undergone series of improvements. The first type of BP monitoring device was invented by Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch and this instrument is universally known as mercury sphygmomanometer. After this, a BP device with manometer or an aneroid sphygmomanometer is then discovered. When electronic devices become popular, digital or electronic blood pressure devices are also introduced in the market. This latter version of sphygmomanometer is offered with manual or automatic inflation.
Although more innovative and user-friendly blood pressure devices are now offered in the market, many healthcare professionals, including myself, still prefer to use mercury sphygmomanometer for some reasons. First of all, this medical instrument cannot be decalibrated so you do not have to clean or repair it regularly. In terms of reliability, you can expect that this type of blood pressure device will always give you a consistently accurate result. Additionally, the mercury sphygmomanometer is cheaper than the modern styles.
At some point in our life, many of our body organs and/or senses will degenerate. And vision has no exemption to that. The normal vision is 20/20, which means the person is able to read or see the objects even if it is 20 feet away. But because of lifestyle, accident, disease, or hereditary factors, our visual acuity becomes poor overtime. Fortunately, along with the advances made in technologies, eye specialists find solutions for us to maintain good eyesight. It may be through surgery, wearing of eyeglasses or contact lenses.
How will we know if it is now time to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses? That will be based on the eye examination result. The ophthalmologist or the person in charge for indentifying eye problems will first conduct an external eye examination then followed by visual acuity. In determining visual acuity, the ophthalmologist basically makes use of a medical instrument called eye chart. This is one of the important tools being used by eye specialist in determining whether a person is experiencing eye problems or not.
To determine the visual acuity, the ophthalmologist will request the patient to read the characters provided on the eye chart while standing 20 feet or 6 meters away from the chart. Every line of character has a corresponding value. The ability to read the smallest character means having good eyesight. Aside from testing the visual acuity, the amplitude of accommodation test is the next step. In this examination, the eye specialist wants to find out your ability to focus clearly on objects when they are placed near. Your ability to identify the right color is also checked, followed by a cover test, stereopsis, and extraocular motilities. The ophthalmologist will also check the condition of your internal eye including the pupil, its blood vessels, retina, and the likes using specialized medical equipments.
If for instance your examination brings you good result, then you're lucky. However, if eye problems arise, treatment will depend on the severity of the disorder.


New Orleans news outlet attacked a decorated Veteran and OpsLens Contributor — Colonel Rob Maness, ret.
Over the July 4th holiday, the left-wing #FakeNews media over at the New Orleans Gambit decided they need to attack me for a second time in a week regarding my position on veterans' organizations having their conferences in the City of New Orleans. Of course, this is not the first time the progressive left has attacked me personally over the issue.
Previously, they came after me when my Parish Republican Executive Committee passed a resolution that myself and another veteran proposed. Our motion was regarding the vicious and spiteful removal of American veteran monuments that were beautiful parts of the City's historical essence and artwork for over 100 years. The editors over at the Gambit were so cowardly that they signed the article "Editorial" and proceeded to use a picture of me in uniform, just to ensure everyone who read the piece knew it was a veteran they were attacking.
It's too bad they can't even tell the truth in their hit pieces, it would make for far more interesting writing. This is my response. First, they said I called for a Veteran's boycott of New Orleans. If these lightweights, who think of themselves as journalists, did a little research they would find the resolution. We did not call for a boycott of New Orleans, but instead for two major national groups to reconsider having their national conventions in the city.
I continue to stand by my call for the VFW and VVA to avoid hosting events in the City of New Orleans. I don't want New Orleans' local government to benefit from hotel and convention tax revenue. After all, they just wasted over a million dollars of public funds to remove statues of veterans for no good reason. And yes, for all those lightweight historians out there, these men were American veterans. Shut up trying to use all the issues associated with the Civil War, racism, white supremacy, and slavery. After all, it was the United States of America that failed to abolish the institution of slavery at its birth, despite the principles clearly documented in our Declaration of Independence that, "All men are created equal" with God-given rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." So, if we are to apply these slurs, then it must be to all American historical figures and veterans, since they all stood for and fought for a country that failed at its very conception to rid itself of the despicable institution of slavery.
Second, the liars over at the Gambit tried to imply that I told folks not to visit the World War II museum, when I specifically stated that's not what we or I am about. Of course, that doesn't matter because they also tried to disparage my character by opining that maybe I was just stoking the anti-New Orleans fires due to political ambition. They referred to my recent announcement of candidacy for the District 77 State House of Representatives seat in the Louisiana Legislature. Do these supposedly 'intelligent' writers really think I would risk being called a racist, white supremacist, supporter of rapists, and traitor to the Constitution I spent more than 32 years defending, based on political ambition? We are all Americans, and we're all made from every facet of our history, the good and the bad. If those in power in our society can throw parts of our history into the trash bin, what will happen when the power changes hands? Will we sacrifice monuments to George Washington, Andrew Jackson, or Dr. Martin Luther King on this alter of political correctness?
I say to you so-called journalists, don't use your megaphone and talent to bash Americans you disagree with. Use it to find the truth. Use it to highlight the hard truth that needs the light of day — like New Orleans' 25% poverty rate and the highest murder rate in the country. These are real issues. Also, use it to highlight the successes of your city, like the ones you mentioned in your hit piece on me — ending homelessness of veterans and the new VA facility. Don't try to smear an American combat veteran on July 4th by implying I don't support those efforts. Especially when you know I do. Did you "Truly Honor Veterans" by this article? No, you did not. You only highlighted yourselves as anti-veteran by smearing those who disagree with you and your mayor. Well, I continue to disagree with you and your Mayor, and will work to reverse the city's actions so that all future Americans will be able to know all the facts of our history, even if it offends us.
As always, while I vehemently disagree with you folks at the Gambit, and all the other #FakeNews media outlets, I stand up and fight for your right to disagree with me. Even if it required giving my "last full measure of devotion" to the United States of America.

Food Shipment Successfully Moved on Bitcoin Blockchain With Smart Contracts
in Blockchain
Following in the footsteps of other global leaders in industries such as precious metals and food wholesale, trendsetters in the shipping and freight industry are now using the smart contract-enabled Bitcoin blockchain to securely and transparently conduct business and collaborate more efficiently with partners along the entire supply line.
dexFreight Trials Smart Contract Platform on Bitcoin Blockchain
Today, October 25, the decentralized logistics platform dexFreight announced the completion its first blockchain-based shipment using smart contracts, which saw a 5,320-lb frozen food shipment travel from Preferred Freezer Services in Medley, FL to Manny's Enterprises, Inc, in Sunrise, FL. This move by dexFreight is a far cry from the first food purchase made on the Bitcoin blockchain on May 22, 2011, the now infamous Bitcoin Pizza day which marks the first time the coin was used to order food: two delivery pizzas.
"This is a huge milestone towards an imminent transformation of the logistics industry through the adoption of blockchain technology," wrote Rajat Rajbhandari CEO and co-founder of dexFreight on the company's blog. "Our platform aims for a truly decentralized model, open to all the stakeholders, and allowing for a new world of services that will bring much needed optimization and liquidity to this industry."
dexFreight's platform, which envisions an ecosystem of open source protocols, blockchain, and machine learning technologies, allows the shipper and carrier to directly connect, negotiate rates, and schedule pickup and delivery. The company claims their new operating system will deliver unprecedented transparency, accountability, as well as a layer of trust that is currently lacking in the world of logistics.
It features an industry-first blockchain-based verified identity and objective reputation system derived from smart contract data. This will permit the company to gather and analyze key performance indicators such as on-time pick-up and delivery, on-time payments, loading and unloading times, and freight claims.
As this trove of data grows, it will increasingly help shippers and third parties streamline the carrier onboarding process while reducing associated liability risk, according to dexFreight and its partner RSK, the first smart contract platform secured by and operated on the Bitcoin blockchain:
"With the use of smart contracts, companies like dexFreight can transfer value and assets between parties on our platform," wrote RSK CEO Diego Gutierrez. "With a defined set of rules, in this case for logistics, all participants know that their business needs will be fulfilled without anyone altering their agreement or changing the rules."
De Beers and Walmart Also Using Blockchain to Foster Efficiency and Trust
In May, one of the world's largest diamond boutiques De Beers announced the successful completion of a blockchain pilot for tracking diamonds along the entire value chain: from mine, to cutter, to polisher, and, finally, to jeweler. This marked the first time a diamond's journey was digitally tracked from mine to retail.
To make it happen, DeBeers developed a blockchain platform called Tracr. Following the successful completion of its trial run, the Tracr blockchain is set for a full launch before the end of the year, when the platform will be open to the entire industry.
In fact, five leading diamond manufacturers — Diacore, Diarough, KGK Group, Rosy Blue NV, and Venus Jewel — worked with De Beers throughout the entire process, playing integral rolls in the development of Tracr. According to De Beers, these manufacturers were chosen as partners because they have significant experience in the processing of large stones as well as broad coverage across the midstream of the industry.
Another company tapping into the blockchain is Walmart. In partnership with IBM and Tsingua University's National Engineering Laboratory for E-Commerce Technologies, the global food giant is testing the blockchain to efficiently track food products in real time through the supply chain.
Although still in its infancy, Walmart's blockchain project has already greatly reduced its tracking times. This, in turn, has increased food safety, one of the main reason the company hopped on the blockchain bandwagon according to Vice President of food safety and health Frank Yiannas.

Ardglass Golf Course is an 18 hole links course on the north-eastern coast of Ireland with some stunning views and unique golf holes. Founded in 1896 and located in County Down, Northern Ireland, it is situated 30 miles south of Belfast. The course creates a challenging test of golf, particularly on a windy day.
The course hugs the coastline, with the Irish Sea visible from all 18 holes and on a clear day it is possible to see across to the Isle of Man. The Par 3 2nd, the Par 5 11th and the Par 3 12th require a carry across the coastline and cliffs tops of the Irish Sea and rank among the best holes in Ireland.
Ardglass is located at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, around 20 miles from Royal County Down. Sightseeing attractions in the region include Dundrum Castle and Murlough National Nature Reserve.
Dundrum Castle is situated on a wooded hill to the north-west of the village of Dundrum, around 30 minutes west of Ardglass. The Castle is believed to have been built way back in 1177 by John De Courcy as part of his invasion of Northern Ireland. The castle was built for defensive purposes but also to control access into Lecale from the west and south. Dundrum Castle is considered an important example of Norman architecture and is a regular destination for tourists.
Murlough National Nature Reserve is a fragile 6000-year-old sand dune system owned by the National Trust and managed as Ireland's first Nature Reserve since 1967. It is an excellent area for walking and bird watching due to its spectacular location at the edge of Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains.

Together they had two daughters, Mary (Tom) Bolek of Gladstone, MI and Kathie Palmer of Stillwater, MN; four grandchildren, Lisa Bolek, Michelle Bolek, Chris (Maija) Palmer and Matthew Palmer; four great grandchildren, Mali, Sydney, Drake and Dylan Palmer and many nieces and nephews. After 70 years of marriage she lost the love of her life, Ted, stating, "I love him more today than the day we married." In addition to Ted, she was preceded in death by her parents and her six siblings, Marguerite Brunelli, Ralph Massa, Gertrude Massa, Francis Massa, Alvin Massa and Charlotte Erspamer. Kathleen's working career included Gift Gallery, First National Bank, and office of Dr. William Gladstone where she worked as a receptionist for many years until her retirement. During her long life, Kathleen was devoted to her family and church, caring for her elderly parents and sister, and was an active member of St. Mary's Altar Society. Her husband, children and grandchildren were the most important part of her life. Wonderful memories of visiting their grandparents are treasured by the grandchildren. She will always be remembered for her amazing cooking skills— an expert at making signature U.P. pasties, a multitude of delicious homemade cookies and bars, and could somehow get a quart of tasty gravy out of a two-pound roast. Kathleen led a very active life and walked 5 miles a day well into her 80s. Her advice to her family encouraged them to be lifelong learners with the phrase, "Every day is a school day." Most of all she will be remembered for her sweet smile and sparkling blue eyes. When asked if she had any regrets, she replied that her only regret was that she could not relive her life again exactly as it was! The family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff of Bishop Noa Home in Escanaba, for their attentiveness and loving care. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 30, at St. Mary Church in Norway, MI, with visitation at 9:00 A.M. to be followed by the Memorial Mass at 10:00 A.M. A luncheon will be served in the church hall following services.

Despite the excruciating cold and completely snow-covered roads, these health workers in Kashmir Valley are braving the harsh weather conditions and going door to door to vaccinate people
There is an old saying in India that says Doctors are second to God on this Earth. And the health workers in Kashmir Valley are proving this saying right. Despite the excruciating cold and completely snow-covered roads, these health workers in Kashmir Valley are braving the harsh weather conditions and going door to door to vaccinate people.
In a far-flung area of Kashmir Valley called Fakir Gujri, a team of health workers carrying vaccination boxes and other materials starts their vaccination drive while walking on the snow-covered narrow lanes of this mountainous region. They walk for kilometres knocking on the doors of people to get the vaccine shot.

''It's difficult to work in these areas, we can't take our cars in these areas and we have to walk for 1-2 kms along with the vaccine boxes and other things. Then we go door to door and motivate the people to get these shots. We are also focusing on teenagers now. We have come to Faqir Gujri area which is a far-flung area completely covered in snow and are going to houses asking them to vaccinate. The recently started booster dose for people above the age of 60 and that is being done too. We are specially going for older people who can't walk in these conditions and vaccinating them.'' said Rouf Ahmad, Covid Warrior.

The doctors in the valley say to get rid of Covid-19 there is no other way but to vaccinate people in every corner of the Valley. The snow and minus-degree temperatures are in no way bringing down the morale of these doctors working continuously in the higher reaches of Kashmir.
''It's very hard for us to reach these areas but for the benefit of the people, we have approached here. We have started door to door vaccinations from today, infact yesterday. We have already vaccinated 7 cases so far in the snow. We are giving precautionary doses. We have to keep in mind the benefit of the people. We have been facing the pandemic since 2019 and to get rid of it, we have to approach everyone to get these doses. '' said Dr Seema Ashraf, Nodal Officer, Vaccination.
The people in these higher reaches have appreciated the move of the health department. They say that people above the age group of 60 are not able to move in these weather conditions and to have health workers at their doorstep is a great move by the department.
''We are thankful to the staff for having come so far to vaccinate us. It's my first vaccine dose and I finally got it. Everyone is now coming forward to Vaccinate. It's difficult for the old people to move in these weather conditions and having these doctors coming at our doorstep is what we are thankful for.'' said Abdul Khalid Ganai, Senior Citizen.
The health department of Kashmir has constituted similar teams in every remote village of the valley. The teams every morning is leaving the health centres and going door to door to vaccinate people in these accumulated areas.
Around 6,88,286 lakh people are to be administered these booster doses during this drive. Among them are 1,06245 Health workers, 3,17,631 lakhs are frontline workers which include Police and Paramilitary forces, and 2,64,410 people above 60 years of age with comorbidities.
The children in the age group of 15-18 are being vaccinated as well. There are around 8.33 lakh children in that age bracket in which half of them have already been vaccinated. The government says the other half will be inoculated within days.
Jammu Kashmir has been among the topmost states to vaccinate the maximum number of people. The health workers of the valley have been appreciated by everyone including the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

Landowner Questions Credibility of ASG Mining Group
Wednesday, 25 February 2009 09:20 AM
A landowner has questioned the credibility and capability of the ASG Mining Group, as it re-opens the gold ridge mining project.
The landowner, who wished to remain anonymous, said that since starting operations some four years ago, "they have not been fully informed of what is going on leaving landowners confused, frustrated and angry."
He stated that landowners have waited long to see some positive indication of mining operations at the gold ridge. "However there has not been any gold pour as yet, despite promises for the first gold pour have been announced."
He added that as an important stakeholder to this national project, there is a need for them (landowners) to know the truth behind the long delay, "ASG has an obligation to tell this nation why they haven't started actual mining at the gold ridge."
The landowner said that the Prime Minister Derek Sikua and Hon. Edward Huniehu last year spoke highly of the project. "Both leaders said that it is national priority project for CNURA government and they will support it," he added.
The landowner said that if the government is truly supportive of the project then "they should try and review and re-look at the profile of the ASG."
The landowner said that he strongly believes that "the ASG is still currently trying to convince its financers to fund the project...and I think they are never convinced, although there have been significant results in gold deposits as a result of ongoing infill drilling program and metallurgical test work in the past 3 years."
Our source called on the CNURA government, provincial government and landowner's council to consolidate a task force and immediately investigate the real cause of the delay.
"Landowners of gold ridge want a serious and reputable investor in return for sacrificing our land for this national project amidst these trying times when the world is facing the global financial crisis," said the landowner.
Despite many attempts, Solomon Times was not able to get the ASG Mining Group to comment on the issue.

Ending the stigma over issues of mental health 'close to heart' of BP chief
by Mark Lammey
Bernard Looney, upstream director, BP
Mental health is a "massive issue" that's close to Bernard Looney's heart and one that he feels a "great responsibility" to talk about.
Mr Looney, chief executive of BP's upstream division, said he had done a lot of work to remove the stigma attached to mental ill health and get people talking at the energy major.
The Irishman, whose father suffered from depression, would like to see the company and wider industry do more to tackle the problem.
He recalls that during a dinner with the leadership team in Aberdeen a couple of years ago he spoke to a colleague who revealed she was going through a difficult time.
The person confided that her own father was afflicted by depression after he retired.
Mr Looney felt compelled to tell his story. "The following day I gave a townhall on various things happening inside the company," he said.
"For some reason I decided to talk about the subject of mental health and my own experience.
"The response I got was quite frankly extraordinary, not because of how well the story was told, but because there was so much desire inside the company to talk about it and share stories. Since then I've been doing quite a bit in this space."
Mr Looney is passionate about the subject and feels change needs to be driven from the top, rather than leaving it to human resources and health departments.
"The first thing we need to do is make it OK to talk about – end the stigma and make it a leadership act," he said.
Mr Looney, who grew up on a farm in County Kerry, has posted several messages about mental health on BP's internal communication network, each of which were read by thousands of people within the business.
He was one of a number of people at the company to share their "powerful" experiences in a video intended to address people's reluctance to open up.
BP has also been conducting surveys across the world to understand where the company might have "mental health hotspots" – areas that might need support and intervention.
The firm is "doing a lot around counselling" too.
BP wants to "get ahead of the problem", but when counselling is required, the company has a consolidated, global employee assistance programme (EAP).
Mr Looney admitted that, at first, he was not convinced such an initiative would be particularly helpful.
That changed when Tony Brock, BP Exploration's head of safety and operational risk, told Mr Looney how powerful the EAP was.
Mr Looney said he was "struck" by the feedback from Mr Brock, who he described as a "big block of a man".
"He found it to be brilliant and I asked if he would talk about it publicly and he does," Mr Looney said.
BP monitors usage rates for the EAP and wants to see them go up, such is the importance he places on the subject.
He said everyone is dealing with "something" – some aspect of their life that is stressful, whether that's physical illness, money problems, or troublesome kids, for example.
"I'm very passionate about the subject and I would love to see us and the industry do more," he said.
Mr Looney joined BP in 1991 as a drilling engineer, working in the North Sea, before moving on to have stints in Vietnam and the Gulf of Mexico.
In 2005 he became senior vice-president for BP Alaska, a business for which a buyer was found just last week in the shape of Hilcorp.
He returned to Aberdeen in 2009 to run the major's North Sea business and still has great memories of the Granite City.
Mr Looney spoke of his "deep respect" for the north-east's supply chain, which has capabilities that you "don't see everywhere".
One of the "formative experiences" of Mr Looney's career came during his stint as North Sea boss, when in April 2009, 16 people died when a Super Puma helicopter crashed on its way from BP's Miller platform to Aberdeen Airport.
He said the tragedy taught the company a "huge amount" about helicopter safety.
Mr Looney returns to Aberdeen perhaps only once a year, partly because he has a lot of regions to visit, but also because current North Sea boss Ariel Flores is doing a "fantastic job".
"I do not go there that often, because we do not have that many issues there," Mr Looney said.
BP's UK business has reduced its costs by 40-50% in the last few years and is steadily improving efficiency.
Mr Looney said the North Sea stacked up well and could compete with the rest of BP's portfolio for investment.
He said the UK Government should be "complimented for bringing some stability and creativity to the fiscal regime"
and hailed the Oil and Gas Authority for its "excellent work" in recent years.
Mr Looney did say, however, that the basin "can't rest on its laurels" – if it wants investment, it needs to have resources available for extraction.
BP achieved two significant first oil milestones as operator in the UK in the last few years, at Quad 204 and Clair Ridge, both west of Shetland.
The London-headquartered firm is on course to bring two more projects on stream next year.
Offshore installation work was ongoing in July and August to prepare for start-up of the
Alligin field, west of Shetland.
BP and partners committed to investing £230 million on the 20m barrel project, which will produce from two wells tied back to the Glen Lyon floating production storage offload (FPSO) vessel, installed for Quad 204.
And drilling work belatedly started in July on the 30m barrel Vorlich field in the central North Sea.
Vorlich, with a £200m sticker price, will be tied back to the FPF-1 platform on Ithaca Energy's Stella field.
Drilling would have started a couple of weeks earlier but for the interference of climate change activists, who prevented the Transocean Paul B Loyd Jnr rig from exiting Cromarty Firth by climbing up its legs.
Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise ship then proceeded to chase the rig across the North Sea for several days before backing down.
Mr Looney holds no grudges: "We are aligned with what the protestors want and are supportive.
"But we are not supportive of people who put their lives and the lives of others at risk. We draw the line there."
Mr Looney said the "direction of travel" is very clear when it comes to the energy transitions – "it's real, it's happening and it's accelerating".
"We're all living in that same world," he said. "There's no conflict between what the wider world wants and what BP wants.
"We support the Paris agreement and we believe in the energy transition and net zero.
"We want the transition to happen quickly. We don't want it to take forever. That would not be good for society.
"But to reach Paris will take all forms of energy. Oil and gas, in any scenario, will be part of the energy transition story for many decades."
Mr Looney is confident that the company is taking "tangible" action to address the problem.
BP's board and more than 99% of shareholders supported a resolution at this year's AGM in Aberdeen calling for the company to show how its strategy fits in with the Paris goals.
The firm has set a target of cutting its greenhouse gas emissions by 3.5 million tonnes by 2025 and while keeping its "methane intensity" below 0.2%.
The bonuses of 36,000 employees at BP are linked to the achievement of emissions reduction targets.
BP has also created a £75m fund for projects aimed at lowering emissions from its upstream activities.
In 2017, BP agreed to invest more than £150m over three years in exchange for 43% of solar firm Lightsource. It also bought the UK's largest EV charging company, Chargemaster.
In the UK North Sea, emissions from the ETAP development have been reduced by 11,000 tonnes per year, a "fantastic" accomplishment. Mr Looney said the feat was achieved by connecting a produced-water reinjection system, bypassing the seawater injection pumps and reducing the load on the facility.
BP's North Sea team is also looking at an "exciting, transformational concept" for Clair South – the third phase of the giant Clair field.
Mr Looney said Clair South would be "quite different from the way things have been done traditionally", reflecting an awareness of the energy transition and how BP reduces its environmental impact.
BP is also "having a look" at Capercaillie, discovered in the central North Sea early last year.
