Brexit: Live updates as MPs get ready to vote on Article 50 extension
By Paul Francis
pfrancis@thekmgroup.co.uk
It is another big day in Parliament as MPs turn their attention to the issue of whether there should be an extension to Article 50, giving the government more time to draw up its Brexit deal.
The Prime Minister Theresa May is likely to come under further pressure after a turbulent and dramatic day which saw her suffer two bruising defeats in The Commons as MPs voted to scrap the idea of a ' No Deal' Brexit.
We will be following all today's important events with our live blog and our political editor Paul Francis will be providing commentary and analysis throughout the day.
And if you want to join the debate today don't forget to use the hashtag #kentbrexit
18.30pm Government wins support for call to seek from EU permission to delay Brexit bill until June
17.58 Well that was a close call - the government defeats amendment which would have ceded control over Brexit to Parliament. Majority of two.
17.52 Kent MPs seem to be rallying around government - and there's a claim from the Sittingbourne and Sheppey MP Gordon Henderson that dark forces are conspiring to thwart Brexit.
Here's Sir Roger Gale North Thanet MP:
5.20pm The "second referendum" amendment tabled by Sarah Woolaston is defeated: 85 for; 334 against.
5.10pm MPs have started voting on an amendment to request Article 50 extension in order to hold a second referendum tabled by MP Sarah Woolaston.
4.28pm Right, apologies for the interrupted coverage.
MPs are debating four amendments picked by Speaker John Speaker - he selects one seeking another referendum, but blocks one rejecting such a vote - prompting anger from Brexiteers.
Not unexpectedly Dover MP Charlie Elphicke won't be backing a second referendum:
12.15pm And who doesn't want a second referendum? A number of Kent MPs have signed an amendment calling on Parliament to rule out another poll.
The signatories are: Adam Holloway (Gravesham); Tracey Crouch (Chatham and Aylesford) Gareth Johnson (Dartford) Rehman Chishti (Gillingham) and Craig Mackinlay (South Thanet).
11.40am Who wants another Brexit referendum? No great surprise that the Liberal Democrat South East MEP Catherine Bearder does. Here's what she had to say:
10.55am Several Kent MPs have expressed their dismay about Operation Stack being triggered and the inevitable snaking queues of lorries along the M20.
The MPs have complained that the Department for Transport has been dragging its feet on the issue; they have a point - up to a point. There doesn't appear to have been much progress on finding a permanent solution since the transport minister Chris Grayling ditched the plan it had for a lorry park at Stanford off the M20 because it was facing legal action from opponents of the scheme.
Here's what the DfT said back in 2017 about its plans.
So far as we are aware, no other sites have been identified (at least, none that have been put out for consultation) and the prospect of a new planning application seems a very remote prospect.
DFT (7782767)
10.20am The Tunbridge Wells MP Greg Clark is getting a lot of attention today after abstaining - along with three other cabinet members - on a government amendment about striking off the no-deal Brexit option. He's defended himself but a lot of the coverage has been about how this is symptomatic of Theresa May not in control of her cabinet or party. In the febrile environment, perceptions matter and the perception of many is that there are splits in the cabinet.
Meanwhile, the ardent Brexiteer Craig Mackinlay, South Thanet MP, has left no-one in any doubt what he thinks of yesterday's chaotic events, saying that the government had relinquished one of its most powerful bargaining chips by ditching the 'no deal' option:
8.09am Catch up on yesterday's events when MPs voted twice to scrap the option of keeping a Brexit no-deal on the table.
7.55am Welcome to day three of Brexit voting
There are reports 17 government ministers and four cabinet members who did not support the government tonight, by either voting against Theresa May or abstaining.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's reaction to the votes: "Tonight this house has once again definitely ruled out no-deal.
"While an extension of article 50 is now inevitable, responsibility for that extension now relies solely and squarely at the Prime Minister's door.
"But extending article 50 without a clear objective is not a solution. Parliament must now take control of the situation."
A total disgrace, Parliament no longer represents the people. https://t.co/yDYxbr0DQT

Prime Minister Theresa May's reaction to the votes: "The house has to understand and accept that if it is not willing to support a deal in the coming days and as it is not willing to support leaving without a deal on the 29th of March then it is suggesting there will need to be a much longer extension to article 50."
MPs have voted on a government motion to rule out a no-deal Brexit by 321 votes to 278 - a majority of 43.
MPs are now voting on the government's motion, which has been amended to include ruling out no-deal completely.
MPs have also rejected an amendment to delay Brexit until May 22 by 374 votes to 164 - a majority of 210.
MPs are now voting on an amendment to extend Article 50 until May 22 and offer a "transitional phase" the runs until the end of 2021, with no backstop commitment.
MPs have voted to reject an no-deal Brexit by 312 votes to 308. It was tabled by Tory MP Dame Caroline Spelman.
MPs are voting to reject leaving the EU without a deal in any circumstances
I'm sure nobody will be surprised to note that I will be voting tonight to keep #NoDeal on the table. Anything else represents an unbelievably foolish approach to a negotiation. Are we really prepared to say to the EU - offer us anything, at any price and we'll meekly comply?
— Craig Mackinlay MP (@cmackinlay) 13 March 2019
Every MP must judge what is right for the country & their constituents. I have voted - twice - to leave the EU with a deal. Tonight I'll vote to keep #NoDeal on the table. It gives certainty & honours the referendum result. It's time to come together and move on 🇬🇧
— Helen Whately (@Helen_Whately) March 13, 2019
blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck">
It hasn't taken long for Nigel Farage - still a South East MEP - to stir things up - he has urged the European Parliament to block any attempt to extend Article 50.
Nigel Farage (7766796)
Here's what he had to say: "I'm sure the next instalment of this will be the Prime Minister next Thursday going to the European Summit in Brussels, another humiliating display, where she begs for an extension of Article 50.
"I've got a solution to all of this. I heard Mr Barnier this morning say if this treaty gets passed, the next phase of negotiations could last to up to four years.
"I thought, 'enough.' We don't want to waste another four years of our life, four more years of agony, and you don't want to waste another four years.
"There is a simple solution and that is that the British request to extend is vetoed at that European Summit. We leave on March 29.
"In the European elections, you don't want me coming back here, or hordes of Eurosceptics coming back here."
He does have his own inimitable style and likes nothing more than winding up his fellow MEPs. One interesting revelation is that the former UKIP leader said this was his "penultimate speech."
2.30pm Here's a quick up-date on the day's developments so far:
Theresa May says she will be voting to get 'no deal' off the table
Operation Stack has been triggered - Ashford MP Damian Green is 'appalled'
The Chancellor has urged MPs to get rid of 'no-deal' option as it is damaging economy
Dover MP Charlie Elphicke and South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay are voting to keep 'no deal' option
1.49pm The news that #opstack is in place has sparked a warning from hauliers that without a Brexit deal, this could be a foretaste of worse to come:
13.25 Some #Brexit related comments from Chancellor Philip Hammond in his Spring statement: "The uncertainty that I hoped would be lifted last night still hangs over it [economy] and we cannot allow that to continue. It is damaging our economy and damaging our reputation in the world. We can remove the imminent threat of no-deal hanging over us tonight...we have huge opportunities ahead of us..."
Chancellor Philip Hammond. (7761212)
Translated: a not terribly subtle warning to Brexiteers not to mess things up.
13.05pm: Ashford MP @Damian Green says he is "appalled" that Operation Stack has been triggered:
12.42: The Prime Minister was asked about the Malthouse Compromise at PMQs (see below) and sounded a bit non-committal if I have interpreted her remarks correctly, saying: "The EU has made clear that it would not accept elements of what is in the Withdrawal Agreement without them being in the Withdrawal Agreement"
12.36: Not strictly #Brexit related but breaking news that Storm Gareth has triggered Operation Stack
12.15pm We've spoken to Catherine Bearder, who is an MEP for the South East. She wants no-deal taken off the table, and is calling for a second Brexit referendum.
11.55am Kent MP Damian Green is among a group of MPs putting forward compromise proposals to bring together remainers and leavers to break the political deadlock over Brexit.
Dubbed the Malthouse Compromise, it aims to offer refinements to the current deal that would satisfy both wings of the party.
The MPs have tabled amendments to the current Withdrawal Act. These include the British government publishing its post-Brexit trade tariff schedules "immediately" and seeks an extension of Article 50 until 22nd May.
Ashford MP Damian Green (6537910)
The plan would also offer "mutual standstill agreements" with the European Union until the end of 2021 for more discussions to take place for a longer period.
During this time, the UK would continue to pay in to the EU.
The group has previously suggested refinements to Northern Ireland backstop, with the group saying the prime minister would renegotiate this element of the current Withdrawal Act.
The plan is to replace it with a free trade agreement that would address concerns over the indefinite nature of the current plan. Customs checks would be avoided by as yet-unknown technology.
11.02am MP for Tonbridge and Malling saying he wants a deal and today's vote is meaningless
10.56am Craig Mackinlay reveals his plans
10.45am Dover MP Charlie Elphicke is clearly an Eagles fan - see his reference to Hotel California below; which is a cue to start a list of Brexit-themed songs. I'm showing my age but how about Harry Nilsson's gem from 1972 "Without You" - or "Without EU"? Contributions welcome..
10.41am Speaking after the deal yesterday, Charlie Elphicke, MP for Dover and Deal, said: "Having listened carefully to the debate today it was clear the Withdrawal Agreement still contains a Backstop without end. Last time I was concerned we would be stuck in Hotel California - you can check out but never leave.
"It was clear nothing had really changed. This country voted to leave the EU - yet was set to remain tied to it under the Backstop. Indeed the Attorney General advised the legal risk of getting trapped remained unchanged.
"So with a heavy heart, I voted against the Withdrawal Agreement this evening.
"I will continue to work towards a deal that respects the referendum result and protects our sovereignty. Yet as I have always said, the responsible thing to do is step up preparations and be ready for every eventuality."
9.22am Amid reports that the Queen may be evacuated from London in the event of post-Brexit disorder, Ireland seems to be the pick of the odds at 22-1. And even though relationships between America and North Korea may have thawed, it's unlikely that the Queen will seek refuge in the Communist state - the odds of that happening are 500-1.
9.06am Strong words from Tom Tugendhat
9am Did the people of Canterbury think May's Brexit deal should have been rejected? Here's what they had to say before the vote last night
8.50am Business chiefs say allowing the UK to leave the EU without a deal would "take political negligence to new extremes".
Jo James, chief executive of the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, has long called for some certainty in the process to allow for businesses to plan for life outside of the EU.
8.39am Tracey Crouch was the only MP to vote 'aye' this time and no last time
Tracey Crouch (7642443)

Keep scrolling to see how events unfolded yesterday
This is a total failure of leadership.
Responding to Mrs May, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "The government has been defeated again by an enormous majority and they must now accept their deal is clearly dead. Quite clearly no-deal must be taken off the table.
"Maybe it's time instead we had a general election and the people could choose who their government should be."
Speaking immediately after the result of the vote, Mrs May told the House of Commons: "Tonight we will table a motion for a debate tomorrow to test whether the house supports leave the EU without a deal on March 29.
"I'm passionate about delivering the result of the referendum, but I equally, passionately, believe the best way to do that is to leave in an orderly way with a deal."
7.50pm:
Chatham and Aylesford MP Tracey Crouch says she backed deal: "The Withdrawal Agreement is utterly imperfect but the real risk now is whether there will be any Brexit at all. I'll vote for the WA tonight but only to stop remainers from keeping us locked in the EU forever."
RESULT: MPs reject deal:
FOR: 242
AGAINST: 391
MAJORITY 149
Voting is underway in parliament
Dr Adrian Pabst, head of the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent says it looks inevitable that Theresa May's Brexit deal will be defeated in parliament.
Maidstone MP Helen Grant says she will be supporting the deal...here's her statement:
"I believe it represents a positive compromise. It delivers on the referendum result, ensuring we leave the EU at the end of March, and allows for the frictionless trade with Europe which our businesses need. It is not perfect, but perfect was never on the table in such a complex negotiation. Furthermore, the alternatives of a potential No Deal or a delay to Brexit are enormously unpalatable."
Maidstone MP Helen Grant
5.40pm: Apologies for the gap in coverage - we have had a few technical gremlins...
With the vote about an hour or so to go, one of the interesting developments has been the increasing chatter about a snap general election - something that many people have previously dismissed. Conservative MP Charles Walker has openly called for a snap poll - saying that it is the only way to break out of the stalemate.
No Kent MPs have broken ranks on this idea - yet but if there continues to be deadlock you can see how it might gain traction
Maidstone and The Weald MP Helen Grant has her say during the debate
Faversham and Mid Kent MP Helen Whately warns about the impact of postponing a Brexit deal
3.35pm Away from politics, and we all need a break, here's a story about a runaway emu...and a plea to find it....
3.15pm Not the most auspicious of days to bring forward a bill with so much attention on Brexit but South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay has been calling in the Commons for reform of election expenses rules. He was acquitted of charges related to expenses claims during the 2015 election campaign.
Craig Mackinlay at Ramsgate harbour (7539772)
2.45pm Despite a shocking sore throat - rekindling memories of conference speech - PM is defending her deal robustly and has warned that a failure to back it in tonight's vote risks Brexit disappearing altogether. Also rubbishes calls for second referendum - in answer to question from Green MP Caroline Lucas
2.25pm Faversham and Mid Kent MP Helen Whately says any further delay would bring terrible uncertainy and damage businesses - invites PM to agree that if would be "terribly bad for businesses" - PM replies that she agrees...
Helen Whately MP (7343137)
1.50pm: Dover MP Charlie Elphicke has firmly denied that at a meeting of Conservative MPs and PM, he had said he wanted her to "pull a rabbit out of the hat" but her new deal was more like a hamster.
This surely is an excuse for you to send us your pictures of your rabbits and/or hamsters...here's one to get you started:
What do rabbits call their home? (7724267)
What happens next? (7720623)
1.10pm: Bad news for Theresa May - the Brexiteer group of MPs on the ERG (headed by Jacob Rees-Mogg) says it has taken its own advice and the view of its lawyers is that legal risk of new deal is same as old deal. In a statement the group - which South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay belongs to, as does Gravesham MP Adam Holloway - says:
'In the light of our own legal analysis and others we do not recommend accepting the Government's motion today'
12.50pm The Attorney General has outlined his view of the deal underlining that the plan continues to expose the UK to the same legal risk as the first version. Folkestone and Hythe MP Damian Collins says it confirms his view:
12.01 Away from Westminster, why has KCC bought 1,000 new road signs? It's to do with Brexit and the answer is here
11.34am Although officials say they're doing the best they can to prepare ahead of March 29th, they admit they're still in the dark when it comes to exactly how Kent will be affected. Phil Wellbrook found out more
11.22am: An important development on the new Brexit deal:
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox says package does "reduce the risk" of the UK being "indefinitely and involuntarily" held in the Irish backstop. But he says "the legal risk remains unchanged", saying the UK would have no legal means of exiting without EU agreement.
11.12am Here's my favourite quote so far on the 'new' deal, courtesy of President Juncker:
"I hope and I trust that today's meaningful legal assurances will be meaningful enough for the meaningful vote tomorrow."
I think we get the gist...
11.08am The former cabinet member and Ashford MP has taken to Twitter
10.59am What do you think?
Conservative MP Gordon Henderson turned to his Facebook followers to seek advice on how he votes on Theresa May's Brexit withdrawal agreement.
The MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey admitted on Sunday: "This presents me with something of a dilemma so, to help me, I would like to hear the views of my constituents, particularly those who voted to leave the EU in 2016."
He voted against the agreement at first then voted for it when an amendment was added to limit the time of the Northern Ireland Backstop.
He told his followers before Monday's latest negotiations: "As things stand, we will be voting on exactly the same agreement as previously. That being the case, I would feel honour bound to vote against the Withdrawal Agreement."
But he warned followers that if the agreement was voted down tonight MPs were likely to vote for a 'no deal' to be removed on Wednesday and to ask to extend Article 50 on Thursday which would delay Brexit and possibly lead to a second EU Referendum.
Gordon Henderson
He said: "If that happens there would be no Brexit and the 17.4 million people who voted to leave in 2016 would rightly feel betrayed. Democracy in the UK would be compromised and harmed irreparably.
"Voting for the Government's current Withdrawal Agreement without any change to the Backstop would be betraying our friends in Northern Ireland and could risk keeping the UK in the EU for ever.
"Voting against the Withdrawal Agreement almost certainly will make staying in the EU more likely because so many people in the political establishment want to stop Brexit. This includes many Labour MPs, a few Tories, and all the SNP and Lib Dem MPs."
He added: "I usually turn off commenting on my posts as I simply do not have time to take part in the debates my posts sometimes provoke.
"However, on this occasion I want to gauge the mood of my constituents so will allow comments on this thread. It would be good to know whether you feel I should vote for or against the Withdrawal Agreement and why."
10.49am KMTV's Poppy Jeffery will be reporting from Westminster later today
10.45am The South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay - an arch Brexiteer - has welcomed figures indicating that UK exported £336.9 billion worth of goods in 2018. This is an increase of £61.5 billion since 2015 – a 22 per cent increase.
"These figures show Brexit Britain is open for business, and that the excellent goods provided by businesses across the area are in demand across the world. It's great to see that so many businesses in the UK are exporting. These results show we are in a position of strength as we begin to forge a new role for ourselves in the world – creating a UK trade policy so that we can build a country that works for everyone."
10.40am One interesting issue about any delay or extension of Article 50 is whether the UK would have to take part in EU elections, due to take place on May 23. Campaign group Leave Means Leave says that the UK should and has gone so far as to take legal advice and is preparing to take the government to court - here's part of its statement on the issue:
"There have been suggestions that a limited extension to Article 50, ending before the new EU European Parliament sits in early July, would negate the need for the UK to participate in EU elections. Leave Means Leave does not accept this argument. Such timing is clearly a tactic to avoid UK participation and cannot be trusted."

The MP for Tunbridge Wells encouraged everyone to come together in the national interest.
He said: Whatever party you belong to, there is an overwhelming need to come together in the national interest and agree compromise where necessary and come to a view that commands the majority and just get on with it.
"Businesses need that confidence if they are to keep jobs and create new ones on which we all depend. The deal allows us to export to the EU without any tariffs or quotas; without bureaucratic checks at the borders which could lead to hold-ups and checks; there is a two year transitional period which allows us to leave in an orderly way; businesses have backed it.
"At the same time, we are leaving and won't be making any further financial contributions and it absolutely respects the results of the referendum. It is easy to criticise but I haven't seen any constructive suggestions which would improve it."

The Fort de Maulde, also known as Fort de Beurnonville and the Ensemble de Maulde, is located to the south of Maulde, France. It is part of the Fortified Sector of the Escaut, an extension of the Maginot Line. The Séré de Rivières system fort was built 1881–1884. In 1936–1937 the old fort, commanding high ground behind Maulde, was altered for more modern fortifications. It was evacuated by its garrison in 1940 during the Battle of France as part of the French retreat from the border with Belgium.

The site at the top of the Mont de Ligne dominates the plains of the Scarpe and the Escaut, occupying the site of an old military encampment used in 1792 by General Dumouriez against the Austrians. It is within  of the Belgian border. The fort is named for Pierre de Ruel, marquis de Beurnonville, a Marshal of France.

Description
The original fort is typical of the Séré de Rivières system, with a low wall, surrounded by a ditch, which is in turn defended by two caponiers. The roof of the single-level barracks is concreted and supports an artillery platform, or cavalier. A relatively small fort, it was disarmed in 1912, then rearmed in 1914 with 90 mm guns.

In the 1930s the fort was chosen as a site for fortifications associated with the Maginot Line extension around Valenciennes, part of the "New Fronts" program. An observation post and two casemates were built in 1936–1937 within the walls of the fort. The casemates, facing east and west, were each furnished with two 75 mm guns and two automatic rifle ports. To the south, just outside the walls, a north-facing casemate for a 155 mm field gun was built, aligned to cover the bridges at Tournai.  None of the casemates or the observatory were connected by underground passages in the manner of a fully developed Maginot fortification. A short distance to the north, a chain of casemates covered an anti-tank ditch extending about . The position is described as an "ensemble" rather than an ouvrage, as a true Maginot fortification would be termed, due to the absence of connecting underground galleries and support facilities. Nevertheless, with four 75 mm guns and a 155 mm gun, the position was heavily armed. Mauldet was not constructed by CORF (), the Maginot Line's design and construction agency, but by the Army Engineer Service ( [STG]), further removing it from the main Maginot Line; five artillery casemates were planned but only three were built. In 1939 work was undertaken to link the observation post, 75 mm and 155 mm casemates by underground passages in a manner similar to Maginot works.  The excavation was not completed before the outbreak of war in 1940.

Casemates and positions
The casemates are named for their relation to the town of Maulde, rather than to the fort.
 Casemate de 75 du Fort de Maulde Ouest: two 75 mm gun embrasures and two automatic rifle embrasures (inside the fort)
 Casemate de 75 du Fort de Maulde Est: two 75 mm gun embrasures and two automatic rifle embrasures (inside the fort)
 Observatiore du Fort de Maulde: two automatic rifle cloches (GFM-B) (inside the fort)
 Casemate du 155 du Fort de Maulde: one 155mm gun
 Blockhaus de Sud-Ouest de Maulde 1: one GFM-B cloche covering the anti-tank ditch
 Blockhaus de Sud-Ouest de Maulde 2: one GFM-B cloche covering the anti-tank ditch
 Blockhaus de Sud-Ouest de Maulde 3: double blockhouse with automatic rifle embrasures
 Blockhaus de Sud de Maulde 1: one GFM-B cloche covering the anti-tank ditch
 Blockhaus de la Trinquette: one GFM-B cloche covering the anti-tank ditch

History
In 1870, France was partly occupied by the Prussian army. As a result of this defeat, the Séré de Rivières system of fortifications was planned and constructed to defend the nation. Valenciennes, located close by the border between France and Belgium, received additional fortifications. Construction on the Fort de Maulde started in 1881, completing in 1884 for a garrison of 431 men armed with 27 artillery pieces. In 1890 Valenciennes was declared an open city, and its Vauban-era fortifications in the city center were razed, while the new forts were disarmed. They were hastily rearmed in 1914, but were captured by the Germans in the opening stages of World War I. Before retreating in 1918 the Germans blew up the fort's powder magazine.

See Fortified Sector of the Escaut for a broader discussion of the Escaut sector of the Maginot Line.
In the 1930s, France invested in the construction of the Maginot Line, which covered the eastern frontiers of France.  The frontier with Belgium was regarded as a lesser priority because France's war plan called for the French Army to advance into Belgium and conduct an offensive there.  Belatedly, France began construction of a limited series of defenses around Valenciennes in the mid-1930s. These fortifications were individually assaulted and captured in the opening phases of World War II.

Following the fall of Maubeuge in May 1940, German forces advanced on Maulde, reaching the fort, commanded by Captain Schwengler, by 20 May. Bombardment began that day, but infantry units did not reach the area until the next day, delayed by fire from the 75 mm guns of the eastern casemate of Maulde. By 26 May, Maulde's peripheral casemates had been captured, and Schwengler was ordered to sabotage and evacuate the fort in the night.  The Germans found the fort abandoned on 27 May.

After 1940, the Fort de Maulde was used by the Germans for explosives effects testing, leaving significant damage.  After the war it became the property of a tile factory.

Present condition
The Fort de Maulde was closed to public access in 2009, due to the dangers of falling into pits in the darkness of its interior and from falling masonry. Toxic waste from the tileworks was dumped in the fort until the 1980s. Its subsidiary bunkers remain visible in the surrounding fields.

Gila River Indian Community members see traditional house designs come to life
Family is the most important thing to people who live in the Gila River Indian Community, and the houses they live in should reflect that reality.
That was the key concept that members of the community told a group from Arizona State University earlier this week. About 30 community members participated in an idea session with several graduate students and an architecture professor to design new housing that would be culturally relevant.
Wanda Dalla Costa, an architect and Institute Professor in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, has been working with the Gila River Indian Community on the concept for about three years. She calls it "design sovereignty."
"They've been residents of the desert for thousands of years, and they've figured out how to live in the climate," said Dalla Costa, a member of the Saddle Lake First Nation in Alberta, Canada. Dalla Costa was the first First Nations woman to become a registered architect in Canada.
"I don't use the word design — it's co-design, because I'm not living there, they are living there. Even though I am indigenous, it's not my culture."
Thousands of years ago, the Gila River tribal members built dwellings with thick adobe walls to protect them from the heat. But in the 1960s, the federal government began providing standardized housing to reservations, which wasn't designed for the desert climate. The Gila River Indian Community wants future housing to not only be culturally relevant but also more energy efficient.
Last year, Dalla Costa met with several Gila River residents for the first time to talk about what their houses should look like. They produced about half a dozen designs, ranging from about 1,600 to 2,600 square feet.
On Tuesday, Dalla Costa gathered the community members together with about 30 ASU graduate students in the architecture, business administration, construction and American Indian Studies master's degree programs. In a classroom at the Huhugam Heritage Center, the residents divided into groups, took those initial designs and talked more specifically about what they wanted. The students offered different wall, roof and window options, which were then visualized in a three-dimensional computer program.
Skyler Anselmo, a 23-year-old member of the community, said that many times, more than one family lives in a house.
"We grew up sharing space," he said. "The houses we have now are crowded together and there's no synergy.
"The foundation of our culture is to share and prosper together," said Anselmo, who works in Sacaton in the AmeriCorps program.
Dalla Costa told the groups they could push the envelope, and Anselmo's group did. They designed a house with a large, open, round central family room, with other rooms coming off of it like spokes.
The community members were nearly unanimous in their desire for an outdoor cooking area, as well as a shaded patio and a play area. They were also interested in traditional features that are sustainable, like a rainwater catcher.
And everyone wants a garden.
"It's part of our history, when we were self-sustaining," Anselmo said. "It goes back to the roots of our culture when we grew our own food."
Sky Dawn Reed, who earned a master's in science and technology policy degree at ASU and now works in the planning department of the Gila River Indian Community, said the design should be flexible.
"We should think about making the houses solar-ready," she said. "It might not be doable now, but maybe we can do it later. It might even be far off, but we should be forward-thinking."
Belinda Ayze, a graduate student in the American Indian Studies program at ASU, sat with an elderly resident and helped to facilitate her discussion about the design.
"I was asking her how she lived her life and how she cooked and if she wanted wheelchair ramps and bars in the shower," she said.
"I asked why she wants a cooking area outside, and she said, 'Food tastes better with fire.' "
Ayze, a Navajo, said the older residents she talked to wanted traditional adobe walls and doors that face east.
"I think it's a good idea to make the houses the way they want and the way they've always dreamed of living with their families," she said.
The goal is to train Gila River residents to build the houses. Last spring, ASU architecture master's student Selina Martinez designed a traditional adobe shade structure, or "vatho," which was constructed by a team of Gila River builders, led by master builder Aaron Sabori.
Dalla Costa hopes to come up with about six final designs, with one or two selected to go into construction drawings. Then a prototype would be constructed within the next year.
"The design belongs to you, and construction should belong to you because I know there is a long history of constructing your own homes," she told the community.

Anytime I read an article about staying secure while utilizing public hotspots, I see "use a VPN" being promoted as one of the most effective solutions. And, truth be told, virtual private networks may be able to help keep your data secure, depending on the tunneling protocols that they are using. But what criteria should you use when it comes to choosing a VPN service? Read this article to find out.
People working for their employers from the comfort of their homes are used to utilizing virtual private networks. The system allows them to connect to the company servers without jeopardizing the data.
Basically, their laptops are connected to a secure server, which will then reroute the traffic using an encrypted Internet connection. As a result, the IP address of the device will be masked, and most of the data can't be intercepted.
Others use VPNs to bypass Internet censorship or speed restrictions which are imposed by their Internet service providers. And then, we've got lots of people who utilize virtual private networks because they want to get access to movie streaming sites which are only available in certain regions of the globe.
If you are interested in using a VPN service, it is important to understand that not all of them are created equal. In fact, many people who were frustrated by the limitations imposed by the existing providers have decided to create their own VPNs. Still, this may be overkill for most of us, who would rather pay a company $10 per month, instead of spending our time patching servers.
Virtual private network providers will often times limit the number of devices that can be connected to the network at the same time, for example. It is true that some providers offer unlimited device access, but most of them will limit the number of devices to 2...6. So, take this into account if you're interested in subscribing to a VPN service; otherwise, you may have to pay a lot more to increase the number of smartphones, tablets and computers that can make use of the virtual private network.
How much data do you plan to transfer on a monthly basis? Once again, some providers will offer unlimited data transfers, while others will limit the monthly data amount to 5...20 GB. If you're only interested in using the VPN for work related purposes, a 5 GB plan should be more than enough. However, if you want to binge watch the latest movie series, you may need an unlimited data plan.
This goes without saying that speed is also crucial. Okay, it may not be that important for sending or receiving emails securely, but if you plan to play games online or stream movies, you will want to choose a VPN that provides decent data transfer speeds. For best results, sign up for a free trial, and then test the service in real life conditions. If free trials aren't available, sign up for services that provide a 30-day moneyback guarantee, and then cancel the ones that don't live up to the hype.
Another important aspect is the number of online servers. Check the server locations, and then take your time to connect to each server that is (or may be) of interest to you, making sure that it works as expected.
Finally, be sure to read the VPN provider's data logging policy. I hate fine print just like the next gal, but this is an area where you will have to pay extra attention. How much data is collected, and what are they doing with it? And if your data is stored, where are they storing it? Here's a site which can be of great help with this.
It makes a lot of sense to go for a virtual private network service that doesn't log any of your Internet traffic. That's one of the key reasons why you are using the VPN, after all.
I hope that things are much clearer now. Don't forget to do your own research, and then choose the best VPN service that you can afford. Yes, services like these can really help keep your data secure, especially when you make it a habit to only visit sites that utilize the secure HTTPS protocol.

World Party at Fingerprints Record Store Day 4/21/12
My capture of the Tower Records in-store in 2006 (click here) has become a well-regarded artifact of that in-store tour, and this latest one builds on that. Promoting his excellent new multi-disk box set, Arkaeology, Karl Wallinger brought his band World Party to the awesome record store Fingerprints for Record Store Day for an intimate performance. Karl was engaging, funny, quick-witted, and a generally all-around great host. Having met him at the 2006 performance, he graciously came out before the show to say a quick "hello". "What Does It Mean Now", though on the setlist, was exised from the show. In case you weren't one of the lucky ones, I have edited the show and placed the videos here. Embedding videos in a blog from Youtube does not allow the full video, so double click each video to enjoy at full screen. If you're dying for a DVD, email me for information.

The head of the Assaf Harofeh medical center presented a report to the Israeli Supreme Court stating that Shadid and Abu Farah were being treated in the intensive care unit and faced the very real risk that serious damage could occur to their vital organs, which could lead to permanent disability or even sudden death.
Shadid, 20, and Abu Farah, 29, have been on hunger strike for 68 and 69 days respectively, in protest of being placed under administrative detention — an Israeli policy of internment without charge or trial based on undisclosed evidence.
The Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs stated on Saturday that both had slipped into a coma and have partially or completely lost their ability to breath, speak, drink, and hear. The committee also warned that Israeli authorities had threatened to force feed both hunger strikers.
An Israeli court temporarily suspended the prisoners' detention orders on Nov. 18 due to the deteriorating health of the hunger strikers, according to Palestinian prisoner solidarity network Samidoun. However, the hunger strikers have continued to refuse food until they are completely released from detention and transferred to a Palestinian hospital.
Scores of Palestinian prisoners have launched hunger strikes in the past year to protest various issues, most notably administrative detention. The most prominent hunger strikers included Muhammad al-Qiq, Bilal Kayid, and brothers Muhammad and Mahmoud Balboul.

RALEIGH - N.C. Department of Transportation Secretary Gene Conti has awarded a contract to replace the U.S. 221 bridge over Prathers Creek near Scottville.
The $889,176 contract was awarded to Smith Rowe LLC of Mount Airy. Work can begin as early as May 29 and be completed by Dec. 12, 2013.
During construction, traffic will be maintained on the current bridge while the new bridge is being built adjacent to the old bridge. Once the new bridge is completed, traffic will move onto the new structure while the existing bridge is removed and the surrounding area returned to its original contours.
The bridge was built in 1923 and is deemed both functionally obsolete and structurally deficient. This does not mean the bridge is unsafe, but there are elements of the bridge that need to be monitored to maintain its structural integrity, and its layout no longer meets current design standards for width, shoulders or rails.
This is one of 26 contracts totaling $126.3 million awarded by Conti in April for highway and bridge projects across North Carolina. NCDOT awarded the contracts to the lowest bidders, as required by state law. The bids received on the projects awarded came in about 16.4 percent, or $24.8 million, below NCDOT estimates.


F5 Networks on Wednesday announced that Rackspace chose F5 BIG-IP products as the foundation for its innovative Cloud Connect service. Cloud Connect is a hybrid architecture that allows customers to mix dedicated and cloud based hosting platforms for scalability, flexibility, and efficiency. With an F5 BIG-IP solution, Rackspace customers can provision resources, secure and manage network traffic, and balance workloads in real time among the two environments.
"We chose BIG-IP as a cornerstone of Cloud Connect because with it, we can make our customers' dedicated servers and cloud environments communicate seamlessly with each other over a protected, private network," said Toby Owen, Product Manager for Hybrid Hosting Solutions at Rackspace. "This solution does much more than provide a physical connection; it allows customers to take advantage of BIG-IP's intelligent traffic management capabilities between dedicated and cloud servers. Furthermore, BIG-IP has already proven itself as a reliable and cost effective component of our infrastructure."
Rackspace's primary focus is to provide a world-class service experience to its customers through its brand of customer service called Fanatical Support. To better meet its customers' needs, the company wanted to develop a hosting solution that was a mix of its managed and cloud hosting offerings. With Cloud Connect, Rackspace customers gain cloud computing benefits without the burden of rewriting their entire application to adapt to the cloud. Cloud Connect is especially useful for companies that experience seasonal traffic spikes. For example, an e-commerce company can now respond to peak demand periods by "bursting" a predetermined segment of its operations-such as its web catalog-to run in the cloud, while keeping its payment processing on highly secure, dedicated servers, all within a Rackspace data center.
"We are pleased to be part of Rackspace's Cloud Connect service," said Jason Needham, Senior Director, Product Management at F5 Networks. "Rackspace's enterprise customers can receive great benefit from their ability to access cloud based resources safely on demand."
Rackspace offers its customers a full range of BIG-IP devices with Local Traffic Manager (LTM). An initial setup process connects the customer's dedicated servers to its cloud account, enabling BIG-IP products to act as a strategic control point between the environments. As cloud services are provisioned or deprovisioned on demand, BIG-IP products automatically connect to dedicated resources, directing traffic to the appropriate application and web pools based on business requirements.
Rackspace leverages F5's open application programming interface (API) solution, iControl, to automate connections between the dedicated and cloud environments. "Because of iControl, our time to market for this new service capability was less than three months," added Owen. "The F5 technology provides a straightforward, rapid service development environment."
Cloud Connect also enhances security, because the iControl API allows communication between cloud and dedicated environments, and contains features that prevent unauthorized access. User connections, data packets, and application data are routed through the BIG-IP device to and from the cloud environment, and are managed according to specific business policies, helping to ensure, for instance, that confidential data such as credit card information is isolated and protected on dedicated, managed database servers.
For more information on Cloud Connect, please visit the Rackspace website and check out the blog entry on F5's DevCentral site.

TelUPay has deployed its web-based remittance platform in partnership with Artajasa, Indonesia's largest ATM network, simplifying remittance payments for overseas workers.
The service will enable remittance companies in overseas locations like Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia to easily send remittances from workers home to their families and friends.
The payments will be directly credited to the recipients' bank accounts in real-time.
TelUPay and its partners Datindo and Bistrat Maharlika have started serious marketing efforts in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia to flesh out partnerships with overseas remittance companies who might use the service. The marketing campaign will continue until TelUPay has numerous remittance companies using the service in each location.
"TelUPay is very excited to work with its Indonesian partners in promoting its web based international remittance service to millions of Indonesians that work overseas," states Mr. Adrian Ansell, CEO of TelUPay.
TelUPay generates revenues between US $0.40 and US $0.60 per transaction for each international remittance.
Indonesian migrant workers sent Rp 88.6 trillion (US$7.35 billion) home via traditional banking channels in 2013. This amount is greater than the money remitted by foreign workers in the same period of 2012, which amounted to Rp 67.87 trillion.
But according to the National Labor Placement and Protection Agency in Indonesia, this total does not include additional funds carried home in cash or sent by channels other than banks. In total, Indonesian migrant workers send an estimated Rp 120 trillion back home every year.

Interview #40 — Lessons from the Great Recession
Catherine Moury has studied the effects of the last economic crisis and the subsequent Great Recession, the impact of the bailout on Portugal, the rhetoric used by political actors and institutions, the austerity measures imposed in name of the famous motto of Thatcherism: "there is no alternative". This time, is there an alternative to austerity?
In this interview she explains whether the EU and its member states are responding in a similar way compared to the 2008-2012 crisis, she reflects on the use of Eurobonds and the European Stability Mechanism, and claims that governments are less likely to use the emergency to implement austerity reforms as it happened during the last crisis.
Enjoy he read.
Interview #27 – Populism and Liberal Democracy with Takis Pappas
July 9, 2018 April 1, 2020 4 Comments
The promise is that in a democracy we will be able to have some significant degree of control over important issues that affect us. But even supposing that 'we, the people' can combine our diverse interests and opinions into a coherent collective will, the hard facts of political and economic interdependence often make that an empty promise. This ambiguity affects democracies regardless of their scale, and cannot be avoided either by participatory democracy in face-to-face communities or by the global democracy now projected in some quarters.
Margaret Canovan, Trust the People! (1999)
In this interview Takis S. Pappas presents his forthcoming book comparing populism across countries and over time, in order to address two crucial points: what causes populism's rise to power and what happens under and during populist rule. He shows that populism is the outcome of extraordinary leadership acting within conditions of democratic representation crisis and able to set into motion a chain of specific micro-mechanisms until populism emerges as a significant political force. Moreover, engaging in a great populist travel from Fujimori to Papandreou through Cristina Fernández Kirchner, we discuss the peculiar traits of Donald Trump's populism.
Interview #24 Italy: a populist paradise
In this interview, professor Daniele Albertazzi explains the success of populist parties in Italy. The 4th of March, two populist parties – Five Star Movement and Lega – obtained their best results ever, and they are likely to form the next government. What is going to happen next? How is it possible that two populist parties collect almost half of the vote share? What can Europe learn from the Italian elections?
Daniele Albertazzi is Senior Lecturer in European Politics and Postgraduate Research Director at the Department of Politics and International Studies of the University of Birmingham (POLSIS). He has published widely on European politics in international journals such as West European Politics, Party Politics and Government & Opposition. Daniele is the co-editor (with Duncan McDonnell) of Twenty-First Century Populism: The Spectre of Western European Democracy (Palgrave, 2007) and the co-author (with Duncan McDonnell) of Populists in Power (Routledge, 2015). He co-convenes the Italian Politics Specialist group of the Political Studies Association with Arianna Giovannini.
Interview #14 – The Strange Case of Dr. Populist and Mr. Corruption
Lisa Zanotti
Lisa Zanotti is a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at University Diego Portales in Chile and a Ph.D. researcher at Leiden University in the Netherlands. She is currently working on her doctoral thesis, a project that aims at studying the factors influencing the emergence of the populist/anti-populist cleavage in Italy in comparative perspective.
In this interview POP discussed with her about the role of corruption in triggering populism both in Latin America and Europe, both theoretically and empirically, with a focus on Italy, France, the Netherlands, Chile and Brasil.

The 2010 Catalunya GP2 Series round was a GP2 Series motor race held on May 8 and May 9, 2010 at the Circuit de Catalunya in Montmeló, Spain. It was the first race of the 2010 GP2 Series. The race was used to support the 2010 Spanish Grand Prix.

Report

Qualifying
Jules Bianchi gained pole position for the feature race on his first outing for ART.

Feature race
In Race 1, Charles Pic won an eventful first race of the 2010 GP2 season at Barcelona. The rookie Frenchman moved into first place when previous leader Sergio Pérez (Barwa Addax) was delayed by a slow pitstop, and survived a brief challenge from DPR's Giacomo Ricci to take Arden's first win since the same event 12 months ago. Ricci's second place was an equally memorable result for DPR, a team that scored precisely one point between 2007 and 2009, and has not won a race since the inaugural GP2 season in 2005. Completing the podium was local man Dani Clos of Racing Engineering, who staked his claim to the position with a pass on Pastor Maldonado earlier in the race. Pérez finished just off the podium, but compared to other title rivals, fared well. ART pairing of polesitter Jules Bianchi and Sam Bird were just 2 drivers who suffered at the start. Bianchi led into the first corner, only to collide with Racing Engineering's Christian Vietoris. Both cars were out of the race, while Bird was forced wide in the melee behind him and had to return to the pits for a new nose. At that point he seemed out of contention, but the Briton produced a stunning drive from the back of the grid, reminiscent of Lewis Hamilton's  drive through the field in Turkey 2006, to haul himself back up to ninth at the finish, falling just 1.6s short of taking the final point and sprint race pole from Ocean Racing's Fabio Leimer. Less fortunate in his progress through the field was Barwa Addax's Giedo van der Garde, who was dealt a 10s penalty for leaving the pit exit after it had closed prior to the race, and then a drive-through for jumping the start.

Sprint race

Fabio Leimer survived a late push from Luiz Razia to win the second GP2 Series Race at Barcelona. The Swiss driver, who was making his series debut, started from pole and opened a gap of as much as 4.3 seconds during the middle part of the race. But Razia came back at him over the closing laps, and crossed the line just 0.7s in arrears. It was the second-ever win for the Ocean Racing Technology squad, while third for Razia's team-mate Pastor Maldonado secured a two-three for Rapax. The race was fairly processional at the front, but there was more competition for the minor points placings. ART's Sam Bird echoed his overtaking masterclass of the day before with another excellent performance, the Briton climbing from ninth to fourth, and he could potentially have challenged for third were it not a late excursion into the gravel that cost him six seconds. Oliver Turvey held on to fifth despite lapping around 1.5s off the pace in an unco-operative iSport car, leading a train of cars behind him headed by a frustrated Dani Clos (Racing Engineering). Once again it was a difficult day for some of the series favourites, with Jules Bianchi finishing 12th after banging wheels with Giedo van der Garde and sliding off the track, while Sergio Pérez was unable to make the start after the engine in his Barwa Addax Dallara blew on the formation lap. There could be more bad news ahead for the Mexican, who is facing a post-race investigation for trailing oil around the racing line on two thirds of the lap before finally pulling over, forcing the start to be delayed by 10 minutes while powder was laid down.

Hopes run high for Liverpool FC to win Premier League title
By Scott Thompson, Arts & Entertainment Editor ||
As May approaches, so does the end of the Barclays Premier League season, and it sees a surprise at the top of the table. With five games to play, Liverpool has earned 74 points this season, giving them a two-point lead over Chelsea. Manchester City is in third place with 70 points but has played two less games, and Arsenal is in fourth place with 64 points.
Halfway through the season, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal were all considered favorites to lead the league, but Liverpool comes as a surprise. Although they had shown glimpses of excellence, it was expected that the team would fall apart due to a lack of depth. However, while they've had a few close games against lesser opponents, Liverpool are still playing at an elite level.
Over the summer, it was rumored that star forward Luis Suarez was unsettled, and he appealed for a transfer to Real Madrid, as well as league rivals, Arsenal. However, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers made it clear that Suarez wouldn't leave for less than 60 million pounds.
While many considered this figure to be twice as much as the Uruguayan was worth, he has displayed why he was worthy of such a lofty price tag, scoring 29 goals so far and assisting 11 more, making him the most lethal player in the Premier League, and one of the greatest offensive threats in the world.
His striking partner, Daniel Sturridge, has scored 20 goals with 7 assists, making what is easily the best partnership in the Premier League, and arguably the world, right now. The duo has been dubbed "SAS," necessary for many writers, as it's rare to mention one without the other.
Perhaps the most valuable player on an intangible level is Steven Gerrard. The 33-year old Liverpool native has been captain since 2003, and has led them to one the of the most memorable moments in Liverpool history – the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul. In what is sure to be one of his final seasons, Gerrard has tallied 13 goals and 9 assists, while also captaining the English national team ahead of the World Cup in Brazil.
Lucas Leiva has battled injuries all season, a recurring theme over the past few years, but his presence as a defensive midfielder, though often unnoticed, has helped Liverpool possess the ball, while also aiding what is otherwise a mostly lacking defense, earning him trials with the Brazilian national team ahead of the World Cup.
Jon Flanagan, who is only 21-years-old, has finally emerged as the defender Liverpool expected him to be this season, filling in at left-back for José Enrique and Aly Cissokho. A natural right-back, his performance over the last few weeks has garnered global attention, the most notable of which came from one of the greatest Brazilian soccer players of all time, Cafu, who named Flanagan the "Red Cafu" in a tweet.
While spending less than half the money Chelsea and Manchester City spent this summer, Brendan Rodgers has managed to create one of the most exciting teams to watch in the world. With five games left in the season, including one against Manchester City and one against Chelsea, Liverpool have a chance to win the League for the first time in over 20 years.
However, to have any hopes of accomplishing this feat, the Reds will have to win their games against Chelsea and Manchester City, or hope for a lucky losing streak from these two Premier League powerhouses.
