Domestic violence death review
Role and function
The Domestic Violence Death Review Team (DVDRT) was established in 2010 under the Coroners Act 2009 (NSW) to review deaths occurring in the context of domestic violence in New South Wales. The review has both a qualitative (individual case) and quantitative review function. The review looks into cases of domestic violence and uses these as a window, or a lens, into systems, services and communities, identifying opportunities for intervention, prevention or where the story may be been changed.
The DVDRT is a multi-agency committee that undertakes comprehensive analyses of deaths occurring in a context of domestic violence to identify issues arising in individual, or across, cases, identify trends and patterns in quantitative data, highlight limitations or weaknesses in service delivery from its qualitative analysis and make recommendations. The DVDRT is staffed permanently by an Executive constituting a Manager and a Research Analyst.
The DVDRT aims to develop and promote domestic violence intervention and prevention strategies so as to reduce the likelihood of deaths occurring in similar circumstances in the future, and to improve the response to domestic violence more generally.
The DVDRT reviews individual closed cases of domestic violence deaths occurring in New South Wales and identifies systemic issues; meaning issues in the ways in which systems operate or where systems do not reach. The DVDRT understands domestic and family violence as a complex, intergenerational and 'wicked' problem that requires complex responses that reach across government, non-government and community. The DVDRT also collects data, including broad prevalence and disaggregated domestic violence context data in relation to homicides and suicides.
The DVDRT is a member of the Australian Domestic and Family Violence Death Review Network and through this, and other bodies, undertakes research that aims to improve responses to domestic and family violence.
The DVDRT reports to the NSW Parliament biennially, setting out findings from the qualitative case analysis and the recommendations which are derived from this analysis. This report also profiles the Team's quantitative data and any recommendations that may derive from this. The DVDRT undertakes public monitoring of its recommendations and responses to these in its tabled reports and on its website.
The DVDRT Executive also works with Coroners on open cases of domestic violence related deaths.
The philosophy of the DVDRT like death reviews nationally and internationally, is to enhance our collective understanding of the scourge of domestic violence in our communities by learning from these tragic, radiating and serious cases.

The Australian Domestic and Family Violence Death Review Network
The Australian Domestic and Family Violence Death Review Network was established in 2011 as an initiative of state and territory death review processes, and is endorsed by all state and territory Coroners and the Western Australian Ombudsman. The Network's goals include producing national data concerning domestic and family violence related homicides in accordance with the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2009-2021. With this work the Network seeks to contribute to the formation of evidence-based policy and decision making in relation to domestic and family violence, enhancing opportunities for prevention and intervention and contributing to the enhanced safety of women and their children across Australia.
The Network published its first data report in May 2018 which provides national data with respect to all intimate partner homicides that occurred between 2010 and 2014. Network reports are not tabled in Parliament in any jurisdiction.

Since completing my masters in publishing studies at Stirling University way back in 2000, I have worked in the book publishing industry and loved every minute of it. I am passionate about quality print design, be it a catalogue, an invitation, book interior design or the all-important book cover. I worked in-house for some of the leaders in Irish publishing before going freelance in 2009.
I work with both fiction and non-fiction and have extensive experience fulfilling complex and challenging design briefs. I work across all genres and whether I'm working with a self-published author or a large multinational, I give every book the care and attention it deserves.
Newly returned to Ireland after a sojorn in the UK and am currently looking for new opportunities.
If you would like to discuss a project, please get in touch. I would love to hear from you.


How can you help your child get enough sleep? Set a bed time and stick to it. Don't let children sleep too late on weekend mornings or they won't be tired at bed time. A regular schedule is key to healthy sleep. Take televisions, cell phones, video games and computers out of childrens' rooms, removing the temptation to play rather than sleep. Encourage them to do something relaxing like take a bath, read or stretch before bed. It may be challenging at first, but within a week day childrens' biorhythms will adjust and they will start to naturally follow the sleep schedule.

Bobbi Kristina Brown: some family members banned from hospice after photo leak
July 07, 2015 - 11:21 BST hellomagazine.com Some members of Bobbi Kristina Brown's family have been banned from visiting her in her hospice after a photo was leaked
Bobbi Kristina Brown's family have been at her bedside daily since she was discovered in an unresponsive state over five months ago, however it has been confirmed that only close family members will be able to visit the 22-year-old from now on.
"The hospice, based on their decision with the fiduciary, has decided that only the guardians and the caregivers are allowed," a source told People.
The decision means that Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby Brown and co-guardian Pat Houston are allowed to visit her along with her grandmother Cissy Houston, but other family members can't.
Extended family members have been banned from visiting Bobbi Kristina
The news comes after photos of Bobbi Kristina at her Georgia hospice were being offered around to various media outlet for more than $100,000. TMZ were reportedly told that the photos had been taken by an "extended family member".
Bobbi Kristina's aunt Leolah Brown took to Facebook to express her anger after hearing of the photo leak on Friday and promised to do whatever it takes to ensure she found out who was responsible.
"You took that picture thinking you gon get some money for it…and that's gon be it!... guess what!????!!!! I will myself if no one else does – see to it that – YOU be revealed!!!!" Leolah wrote.
Bobbi Kristina's aunt and co-guardian Pat Houston is still allowed to visit
The family have faced fresh heartache in recent weeks after the decision was made that Bobbi Kristina should be moved to hospice care.
"Despite the great medical attention at numerous facilities, [her] condition has continued to deteriorate," Pat Houston said in a statement in June. "As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God's hands now."
Bobbi Kristina was hospitalised on 31 January after being discovered in an unresponsive state in a bathtub at her home in Atlanta, Georgia. The incident happened almost three years to the day after her mother Whitney Houston was found dead in a bathtub in an LA hotel.

Cryptocurrencies took the financial world by storm in 2017 but their rapid rise saw an even more dramatic fall. Alun Palmer reports on what the future holds for the likes of Bitcoin?
To investors, the humble tulip can provide a cautionary tale. Last year saw an explosion in the rise of cryptocurrencies, encrypted digital 'money' that operates outside traditional central banks.
One Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency created in 2009, was worth $800 at the beginning of last year. By mid December it was worth $17,900 then two months later its price had plummeted to $6,200, a drop of 65 per cent.
It made a lot of early adopters seriously rich yet many who were swept up in the mania bought at its peak, suffering substantial losses.
Cryptocurrency evangelists say it is still on course for strong and steady growth.
Others, however, hark back to the humble tulip.
The flower was introduced into Holland from the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century and its intense colours were unlike anything then available.
The blooms quickly became a luxury item and no successful gentleman could be seen without them.
The world's first futures market was created when traders signed a contract before a notary promising to buy tulips from growers at the end of the season.
By the 17th century one bulb cost as much as a house and investors were trading their land and life savings to buy more bulbs. In one month tulips enjoyed a twenty-fold increase in value and one farmer traded 12 acres of land for just one bulb.
bulb and another disastrous bubble waiting to burst?
The payment system was designed to be borderless and free from central government control. Users would interact directly and all interactions would be logged on a vast public register known as the blockchain.
To get a Bitcoin you have to start mining, a process where you set your computer to solve a difficult mathematical problem with a 64 digit solution.
Dutch bank ING worked out that to mine one Bitcoin would cost the same amount of electricity as powering a home for a month.
The bulk of Bitcoin mining is done in China where energy costs are lower.
At the moment there are 16 million in existence and just 21 million can ever be created by miners.
At the heart of cryptocurrencies are their anonymity. Not surprisingly, the ability to trade vast sums of money without trace has made it the first stop for dodgy oligarchs, criminals and money launderers.
It has also set up a new market for entrepreneurs willing to cash in on the cryptocurrency millionaires who have found it tricky to buy super yachts with their virtual money.
Eleesa Dadiani, 29, is a member of the Georgian nobility turned cryptocurrency evangelist who can turn your Bitcoins into a Ferrari or gold plated swimming pool.
The crypto super rich fly in from around the world to her London company Dadiani Fine Art in Mayfair which last year became the first gallery in the UK to accept cryptocurrency as a method of payment.
The major world currencies, such as the pound or euro, are what is called fiat currency, which is backed by the government that declares it legal. It is not backed by a commodity, such as gold or silver.
When using fiat currency, it is possible to pay by cash or card; however, when using a cryptocurrency to buy something, such as Bitcoin, there is no physical counterpart.
One reason Dadiani announced last year that her gallery would accept cryptocurrency was because she identified a problem in the crypto economy. One of the main problems of the crypto economy is that whatever holdings or wealth a person has, is for the most part, locked into this alternative economy.
"You are rich on paper. You are rich locked into this economy," says Dadiani, "I understood that this will be a problem, so there have to be businesses that are functioning within the realm of the crypto economy, who are willing to accept your cryptocurrency.
But is this another bubble or does the future look rosy for investors?
In February several UK financial institutions banned the use of their credit cards for buying Bitcoin, not a great vote of confidence in the online currency.
Agustín Carstens, general manager at the Bank for International Settlements, the talking shop for top central bankers and regulators, added to the gloom.
In a speech in Frankfurt he said: "While perhaps intended as an alternative payment system with no government involvement, it has become a combination of a bubble, a Ponzi scheme and an environmental disaster.
History has yet to decide whether Bitcoin and its like will go the same way as the tulip.
Some believe it will flower spectacularly while others think it will wither and die. Not even the experts can agree.


The Sisters Of Mercy will make a welcome return to the UK, with two headline shows in September.

Absent Representation
Recall effort against Ericksen goes to court
What: Sen. Doug Ericksen Town Hall Meeting
Where: Meridian High School, 194 W. Laurel Rd., Bellingham
By Tim Johnson
A hearing for the effort to recall Sen. Doug Ericksen is set for this week before Whatcom Superior Court Judge Raquel Montoya-Lewis.
The judge will decide whether there are grounds for the recall, which would allow supporters to continue to the next stage of collecting enough signatures to put the issue before voters.
The recall effort was started Feb. 9 by some voters in Ericksen's 42nd District who said the Ferndale Republican wasn't adequately doing his job as a state senator while also working in Washington, D.C., as part of President Donald Trump's transition team.
Ericksen began serving as the communications lead at the Environmental Protection Agency in January, a temporary position lasting up to 120 days. Ericksen has said he can do both jobs.
The state Legislature started its 105-day session Jan. 9.
Ericksen chairs the Senate Energy, Environment and Telecommunications committee, is vice chair of the Financial Institutions and Insurance committee, and serves on the Transportation and Rules committees.
"Since early January 2017 constituents of Washington's 42nd District have been deeply concerned about the ethical and constitutional implications of Sen. Doug Ericksen's decision to accept a communication director position in Washington, D.C., without resigning from his Senate seat," petitioners noted in a press release. "We have attempted dialogue with Sen. Ericksen through phone, email, and personal visits to his office in Olympia. So far, our senator has not returned our requests for dialogue. Our senator has also not been available in Olympia to meet with his constituents. During this time, Sen. Ericksen continues to be absent from the majority of his expected legislative duties in Olympia."
Ericksen has continued to take his state Senate salary of $45,474 a year. While Ericksen claimed in a news conference he would not submit receipts for his daily expenses, disclosure requests indicate he has in fact taken his per diem stipend.
"The record provided by Senate Council on behalf of the Secretary of the Senate's Office as a result of a public records request, clearly shows that he has collected a $120 per diem payment for 16 days between Jan. 9 and Feb. 9," notes Elizabeth Hartsoch, a resident of the 42nd District and representative of the Riveters Collective, a progressive civic action group in Whatcom County and neighboring communities. "These include two days when he missed 100 percent of his committee meetings, the day of the press conference when he said he wasn't taking the stipend, the day of the originally scheduled press conference that he missed because he wasn't in Olympia until late in the day, and the seven days where there were no scheduled meetings of his committees and therefore no easy way to verify whether he was present in Olympia."
Ericksen has stepped up his public communications, assuring voters in the 42nd District that work is being done and that he is available for votes on the Senate floor, highighting several important measures that have moved forward this session. However, colleagues like 40th District Senator Kevin Ranker describe the scene as chaotic, with bills withheld and then rushed to the Senate floor depending on the availability of the Ferndale Republican.
The situation is untenable, with Ericksen unable to fully discharge his constitutional duties, according to documents filed with the court.
"This is not good government," Ranker said.
A complaint against Ericksen was filed last month with the Washington State Legislative Ethics Board. The complaint requested the committee investigate ethical and constitutional violations related to Ericksen's decision not to resign while being absent from his duties in Washington state. Parallel to that effort, a recall petition was filed with the Whatcom County Auditor's Office. Under Washington law, that requires administrative review by Superior Court to move forward.
If the Whatcom County judge rules the complaint fits the criteria for a recall, supporters will then have six months to submit signatures from at least 18,600 registered voters in the 42nd District in order to have a recall election, according to the secretary of state.
If Ericksen is recalled, Whatcom County Republican Party officers would offer three names for the County Council. Council would then appoint one to serve out the remainder of Ericksen's term.
If Ericksen is recalled before May 15, an election to replace him could be staged as early as the 2017 primary and general elections; if he is recalled after May 15, voters would pick his replacement in the primary and general elections in 2018.

Home Entertainment Bird Box tragedy footage pulled after criticism
Bird Box tragedy footage pulled after criticism
Netflix has finally removed real footage from the 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster from its streaming hit "Bird Box." The decision comes after months of criticism against the streaming giant for using footage of the tragedy to show the world in "Bird Box" descending into chaos. The train accident occurred July 6, 2013 in Quebec, Canada and left 47 people dead, making it the fourth-deadliest rail accident in Canadian history.
"Netflix and the filmmakers of 'Bird Box' have decided to replace the clip," a Netflix spokesperson confirmed to Entertainment Weekly. "We're sorry for any pain caused to the Lac-Mégantic community."
The footage originally made news in mid January after Lac-Mégantic mayor Julie Morin spoke out against Netflix for using footage of the tragedy in a fictional context. "I don't know if this is happening all the time, but we are looking for assurances from Netflix that they are going to remove them," Morin said at the time. "You can be sure we are going to follow up on this, and our citizens are on our side."
Netflix originally announced it would not be removing the footage because it can not make changes to "finished content," but the company has since come around on the decision. At the end of January, the Parliament of Canada spoke out against the use of the footage and urged Netflix to reconsider pulling it from the movie.
"We know people are going to go and watch this film, and again these real images will be used," Canadian legislator Pierre Nantel told the Associated Press. "For people in Lac-Megantic, they saw images of their own downtown burning, and could imagine their own family members in it."
Canada's Parliament passed a motion saying Netflix should compensate the people of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. The streaming giant licensed the footage of the Lac-Mégantic train accident from stock image vendor Pond 5. Netflix public policy director Corie Wright reacted to the outrage by saying the company "understands that many feel frustration and sadness at seeing images of this tragic event."
In addition to "Bird Box," footage from the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster was also featured in the Netflix original series "Travelers." The Canadian production company behind the show worked quickly to remove the footage. Both projects are now streaming on Netflix.

George Alice and Japanese Wallpaper unite for a stripped-back Stuck In A Bubble
George Alice's second single goes down a more subtle route, with the help of one of Australia's best.
Posted By Hayden Davies 3 months ago
Adelaide's George Alice is having a moment, although we probably didn't have to tell you that. Her breakthrough debut single Circles was monumental, and she's been a success story in the way that she's been able to use this debut single as a stepping stone for a greater pathway to stardom destined for her, rather than faltering and letting the moment pass. On the live stage, George Alice has become a go-to both in headline mode and as a support act, selling out shows across the country while being an exciting addition to some of the country's best music festivals.
In recording, meanwhile, she followed it up earlier this year with Stuck In A Bubble, a song that saw her team up with Madagascan producer NASAYA for a song that makes it two-for-two in regards to her discography thus far. It solidified her place in Australia's pop world; a second opportunity for her to showcase the strong hooks and pop songwriting that made Circles such a runaway hit from the second it debuted, and that she did - Stuck In A Bubble was brilliant, and it's become abundantly clear that George Alice has something brilliant.
Now, she's showing it in a bit of a different way. Today, she's releasing a stripped-back take on Stuck In A Bubble that sees her reinvent the single's original euphoria with something a touch more subtle and reduced, brought to life - in a different way - with the help of Australian production/songwriting favourite Japanese Wallpaper. The stripped-back take really lets George Alice's vocal flourish, showcasing her talents in a way that forces you to listen - there's no bright-eyed production or dancing beats to distract you from her vocals, and that's something that works brilliantly in her favour.
"I really wanted to make something that shows the beauty and diversity of the song," she says on the song, which arrives with an official video by Zoee Marsh that gives a bit of insight into the day-to-day life of George; a behind-the-scenes snapshot into someone who is most definitely next-up. "Stuck In A Bubble is written and produced in such an indie pop way I didn't want that to define the song entirely. Gab (Japanese Wallpaper) and I referenced a lot of acoustic renditions of other big pop songs and pulled together this fairyland ballad."
The stripped-back take of Stuck In A Bubble shows off a sense of versatility that George Alice really flourishes in, and with plenty more no-doubt to come from her in the years ahead, we're hoping that this little tease suggests some different pathways throughout her future.

----------

An implementation of the secant method for finding roots of a function.
The secant method converges slower than Newton's method (superlinear vs.
quadratic), but the secant method does not require a derivative.

The included test in 'main.c' uses the secant method to attempt to find a
root of cos(x), using four iterations and initial points of 0 and 2. In
just four iterations, the secant method finds a root of cos(x) with more
than 16 digits of accuracy!

"Black Brighton Market is a place where Black and People of colour have the opportunity to sell their art, goods, services and perform to the general public. Creating equal opportunities and better profits within the BIPOC community. Black Brighton Market will be held every month."
The last six months of 2022 were almost a blur. I started putting the idea of BBM down on paper about this time last year, set up the website, created applications forms for vendors and performers and applied for funding. With the help of Arrianne, Jenni Lewin-Turner and Joe at The Actors, the first market in October was a booming success, which proceeded for November, finishing the year with quite the experience in celebration of Kwanzaa, we had performance from Cuban singer Adriana Lord and Twerk4Fitness Africa duo from Johannesburg, with audience participation, it was an almost ethereal experience.
After three markets now (October, November and December), I am still in the stage of trial and error. For the first market, I didn't charge vendors and paid performers, I found I spent most of the ticket money on paying performers and promotions. For the second market, again I didn't have a deposit system, and found I wasn't able to pay my performers. For December, I asked you for deposits and collaborated with the performers, so no outgoings there. However, I found out I wasn't able to get my Arts Council funding application approved. I have had donations on GoFundMe, but most of it has gone on advertising and printing and promo. Now, I know I can apply again, and there are other applications I can apply for, and I will, but with so many hours that go into working on this project, and to continue my motivation, dedication within the project, I am asking for £10 from each vendor per market to help the upkeep and continuation of the project. This will change as and when I get funding, but for now I ask people to share the GoFundMe page and please donate as Black Brighton Market becomes an integral part of our city, or community and for some of us, our livelihood.

Drawversity
"Drawversity is a life model class that focuses on introducing more black models and people of colour to the world of life modelling. During the session a new model will pose for the group, choosing their own pose lengths, guided and supported by myself. These sessions are clothed, giving artists the opportunity to draw the clothed figure, or portrait, with the option of the model posing unclothed if they prefer. The session is open to all abilities & levels of experience and I will be on hand to offer any help you need."
They say necessity is the mother of invention. Drawversity was created from my own experience working as a life model – living in such a creative city where Life art is so popular – I had found there really weren't enough BIPOC Life models in the industry, in a city where there were so many life drawing studios and artists. I wanted to change that, to try and eliminate the class and culture barriers of life art and modelling. For our children and children's children, to see a reflection of themselves through art in history and not as a monolith. Alongside Drawversity being for the purposes stated, I also have experienced artists unable to replicate particular features and shades I have due to a lack of diverse models, this is another reason I think it's important to create a more diverse society within the life modelling community.
Due to the epidemic in 2019, I was faced with a barrier, so I teamed up with Draw Brighton to do an artists reference photoshoot for creatives who were signed up to their Patreon and drawing at home – this really helped create a buzz about the class with the Draw community, who became eager to attend once the studio was back open. Since March 2022, I have been able to run Drawversity on a monthly basis at Draw Brighton, on the last Saturday of every month. Since I started, the class has really developed; with more of a guided approach to the model, the artists are able to see how the life modelling side of the collaboration between artist and muse works, creating a more synergetic energy in the class.
If you or someone you know are from the BAME community and have an interest in Life modelling, please forward them this blog, or contact me to talk further.
The last Saturday of every month 13:00 – 15:00 @ Draw Brighton

Life Modelling
Art by Emma Prothero
I got new wigs! I'm entering 2023 with the mission to create a whole new look for you, new photo packs and new poses!
I've decided to start putting my future modelling dates on my website so you can follow and draw, paint, sculpt me! In all my new looks. Head to my Life Model page to see all my classes currently booked up until March in Brighton, Lewes and Newhaven.
You can book me on my Life Model page by filling out the form.
Photo packs
My first three photo packs I created are still up available for a one of purchase (no sign up or member fee). And I am planning to create three new packs this year with some of my new looks.
By the time 2022 came to it's end, I had been hired for and completed a plethora of different and unique jobs, from web banner designs, to logo designs, band photo shoots, band poster designs. Starting the new year I have already been hired as a web developer, and approached as a TEFL tutor. One of the things I love about my work, is the diversity – in the jobs, the people I meet and the final pieces I get to create.
As much as I am trying to focus on my ongoing projects, part of that is doing jobs like this, It's something I have been building up to since I finished my studies; working with people and their creative craft.
You can see all my services, a breakdown of all I offer and some prices, head to the Services page on the drop-down under 'About'.
As a self-employed artist who's had to make their own rules and create their own work, it's really important to get feedback and testimonials. I've created a feedback form you can fill in anonymously if you wish, I can take criticism, as long as its constructive 🙂 and testimonials really help back up my work so please click on the link and scroll to the bottom of the page to fill out the testimonials.
Lastly, I want to say thank you to all that are reading, to all that have donated, attended my events, booked me for an event, as a life model, or a host or a DJ. Through these hard, hard times we've been through and are still going through. Without you I wouldn't have been able to be who I wanted to be and do what I wanted to do. So I have to say a huge thank you and I look forward to us working together in this crazy world we're living in, in a hopefully more fruitful and lighthearted year. Love, Jade x

A black turtleneck and high waisted denim have been my favorite everyday look lately. Along with chelsea boots. This cropped turtleneck is from Forever 21 ($7.90), its super comfy, and 100% cotton. I love wearing this turtleneck with bright a red lipstick (Gwen Stefani inspired, of course).
I hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful, crisp November. I'm powering through my senior year of university, practicing lots of yoga (working on my big toe pose), learning calligraphy, and excited for fall break!
Love how you styled that turtleneck! It will be such a versatile piece this winter! I love the look of turtlenecks layered under dresses or overalls this time of year.
Thank you Jamie! I agree I have so many other pieces it can go underneath and work well with!
You look very gorgeous! I'm loving the look! I've always loved turtlenecks but it is usually too hot in my country to wear one.
Thanks Gretchen! Aww that makes me sad, maybe you can try the short sleeve/sleeveless ones?

You look amazing! It's such a simple but chic look. Happy Friday!

I love monochrome turtlenecks in fall/winter! and your boots are just fab!
Calligraphy, how fun!! I love this sleek, simple look Sonia, you look gorgeous and sophisticated! Senior year... so exciting!
Those boots are so chic! Love the snakeskin back panel. And I'd totally pair this with a black top too.
Aww thanks Yasmin! They're so fun, kinda wish there was a bit of gold o them, but love it still!
You can't go wrong with a good turtle neck, I also love your nails.
I love your black turtleneck, it looks so great!
Yoga is great, it challenges my patience all the time.
You look really nice. I like you nail art too, so cute.
So much patience Sauniya! I'm at the point where I can block out the excess and focus on my practices which is so nice. Aww thanks!
You look adorable dearie, your outfit, hair and nail, so cute.
You look so incredibly chic, girlie! I adore this entire outfit; I'm quite obsessed with turtlenecks myself, they're so warm and stylish. I'm also adoring your red lip and nails, too! Thanks so much for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you have the most amazing week ahead!
You look great here, lady! Awesome denim!
Absolutely adore this look. So lovely.
I love the look! The black turtleneck is so chic and sleek and looks fab with the red lip and your hair :) Good luck with your senior year!

You look absolutely gorgeous! and I love your boots!
You look so chic and amazing in this outfit, we love turtlenecks and those boots are the perfect addition to this look!

Gandhian evangelist cycles Korea after 25,000km across Asia
Dnyaneshwar Yeotkar, a missionary from Maharashtra, India, visited South Korea in May this year. Photos provided by Dnyaneshwar Yeotkar
By Ko Dong-hwan
For Dnyaneshwar Yeotkar, 26, an Indian messenger of peace, friendship and global unity who visited South Korea in May, Korean schools that followed the teachings of the great Indian sage Mahatma Gandhi were worth visiting. After all, the historical figure was the inspiration behind the philosopher's daring solo cycling tour across the world that started in November 2016.
With the help of a Korean friend, he was welcomed at Geumsan Gandhi School in South Chungcheong Province and Sancheong Gandhi Middle School in South Gyeongsang Province and allowed to stay to learn about their facilities and curriculums that are based on Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence and peace.
"Many youngsters were excited to know about my mission plan of a tour round the world by bicycle spreading Gandhi's messages," Yeotkar told The Korea Times.
He praised the unconventional alternative schools for teaching students to find their own interests, where they would fit in society, and their responsibility to the community. Learning about "high ideals," the students wrote letters of peace and love to the leaders of North and South Korea when he talked about the ongoing conflict between the countries.
"We have advanced to high levels in the material sense, but on a psychic level, we still behave like barbarians killing each other," the activist said.
Buddhists from Hongbeopsa Temple in Busan and local students welcomed and blessed Yeotkar, who started his Korean tour from the temple.
Yeotkar also met university students from Suwon, Jeonju, Daegu and Busan and told them about his journey, making arrangements to stay in their schools. He said the students were surprised at his "faith in people."
"The students praised my mission and admired my courage and faith in other people," Yeotkar said. "They wondered how I travelled for two years without any money and asked me about my stays, food, visa applications and crossing oceans."
The traveler and the students, whom he contacted through student unions, discussed the problems of a centralized government administration and the importance of voluntary involvement in societies at times of natural disasters and when the environment needed protecting.
"We have to consider the world as one huge family and work for its welfare," Yeotkar said.
Yeotkar also met Sikh brothers at a gurudwara in a town before heading to Seoul, his final destination in Korea after starting from the southern port city of Busan. The Sikhs told him he was "courageous and gutsy" to set out on the mission. He said Sikh families and gurudwaras had shown him love and caring throughout his journey, whether he was in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia or Korea.
He also met expats of various nationalities, comparing their impressions of Korea to his own.
"Many Americans and Europeans, often teaching English and earning good salaries, say Korea is peaceful," Yeotkar said. "Some African friends, however, said they witnessed 'quiet racism' toward colored people. I asked some teachers about this and they said they used to teach children that Koreans were a special ethnic group. Those who have global exposure are over such discrimination."

Before beginning his tour, the missionary from the Indian province of Maharashtra was already hardened by walking across India with no money at the age of 16. Along the way, he was beaten and left for dead on river banks after being mistaken as a thief. Other times, people who saw him thought he was a beggar. He also lived among a rat-eating tribal community in north India. After two years in 2010, he returned home.
Studying social services, he established an NGO called Maitri Sadhana ― a Sanskrit term meaning "friendship, dedication" ― which involved college students as volunteers. Operating the organization, he realized that the helpless and children were the ones who needed the real friendship of communities the most.
During his tenure at the NGO, he had an epiphany, leading to his decision to make his cycling journey. By chance he read "No Destination: Autobiography of a Pilgrim," which details the travels of Satish Kumar, who walked nearly 13,000 kilometers across the world with Gandhi's vision of a renewed India at heart. Yeotkar said the book gave him a new purpose in life.
Yeotkar speaks at an international gathering hosted by Busan, the city's immigration office, an international cooperation foundation and ASEAN Culture House.
He was encouraged by India's Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, who asked Indian missions abroad to help Yeotkar as much as possible. Calling his tour "Vishwa Maitri Yatra," or "World Peace and Friendship Tour," Yeotkar's objective was to spread the message of peace and friendship as envisaged by Mahatma Gandhi. The trip was to mark next year's 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth.
Before arriving in Korea, Yeotkar visited 14 countries including China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. The journey lasted 560 days and he cycled 25,600 kilometers.
Without official sponsors, Yeotkar constantly struck financial problems along the way. Starving for days, sleeping without a roof, being attacked by animals or treated badly by local residents were common occurrences. The difficulties persisted during his Korean visit.
"I faced lots of troubles in the last two years," he said. "I faced a tiger, slept beside a snake, had dog bites and got thrown out of a hotel. Still, I kept myself calm. Today I don't have a penny but I am planning to visit the U.S. next (which he actually has done). I am confident because of the spiritual strength and hope inside."
But the biggest challenge for Yeotkar, a vegan, was finding vegetarian food.
"Sometimes I had to eat just rice, sometimes just fruit," Yeotkar said. "Korean friends asked me how Indians survive without meat and where we get protein from. I replied that we have many vegetables in India so we don't need meat. I heard about Korean cuisine but unfortunately they were all non-vegetarian."
Before Korea, Yeotkar visited 14 countries in Asia. Next is the U.S.
Language was another problem, especially in countryside.
"Many wanted to talk more about my mission but I don't know Korean and they don't know English," Yeotkar said. "I used Google Translate but it wasn't satisfactory. But I still created a spiritual and loving relationship with people. I feel this is the outcome of my tour."
He said his spiritual belief kept him going on his pilgrimage.
"I consider spirituality intensely when I am deeply hungry," Yeotkar said. "I get food from one side. Whenever I am in desperate need, I get help. All these are connected in one way or another."

Cambodia PM defends ship docking despite coronavirus diagnosis
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen welcomes the passengers and crews of MS Westerdam as it docks in Sihanoukville, Cambodia February 14, 2020. (Reuters)
AFP, Sihanoukville Tuesday 18 February 2020
Cambodia's strongman premier defended on Tuesday his decision to allow a US cruise ship to dock despite at least one passenger later being diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus, while authorities scrambled to track down hundreds that came in contact with her.
The Westerdam was turned away by several Asian ports before Cambodia agreed last week to allow its more than 2,000 passengers and crew to disembark.
But jubilation dimmed over the weekend when an 83-year-old American woman was stopped at a Malaysian airport and diagnosed with the virus that originated from China and has now killed over 1,800 people.
By the time she was diagnosed, scores of fellow passengers had moved through different countries -- including Singapore and Thailand.
Four are currently being monitored in Bangkok.
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen remained defiant Tuesday.
"Some people say it brings the virus to Cambodia, but Cambodia has not had the disease (among its people)," he said in a speech.
Cruise operator Holland America said tests for 406 passengers now at a Phnom Penh hotel were negative, and they could continue their journeys home.
For those who've made it to the United States, local health departments -- working with the US Centers for Disease Control -- are following up with passengers who might have had contact with the infected American, it added.
Three hundred passengers in Phnom Penh would fly to Dubai, Hun Sen said, while 100 others would take a chartered flight to Japan.
Authorities are also arranging another flight for passengers remaining in Sihanoukville -- the southern coast where the Westerdam is docked -- though Hun Sen did not say where that was headed.
The bombastic premier had greeted disembarking passengers on Friday with embraces and flowers.
As countries in the region scrambled Monday to restrict access to Westerdam's passengers, those in Phnom Penh were taken on a tour of the capital under the glare of state-aligned media.
Almost a thousand people remain onboard the Westerdam, barred from leaving until they have been tested.
Passenger Lorraine Oliveira told AFP she is apprehensive about the results.
"I'm worried what the outcome will be if anyone on board tests positive -- what will happen to us then?" she said.
Cambodia only has one confirmed case of the virus -- a Chinese tourist who has since recovered.
The country, a staunch ally of Beijing, received billions of dollars in soft loans and investment from China, and Hun Sen travelled there earlier this month in a show of solidarity.

Either the algorithm that works with the public key to be imported is not supported by this CSP, or an attempt was made to import a session key that was encrypted with something other than one of your public keys.
and then try to use these keys to encrypt/decrypt data in C++ using CryptoAPI.
It seems that the default MS_DEF_PROV provider is uncapable of importing a 2048-bit key and it just returns with NTE_BAD_DATA.
However, initializing the crypto context (CryptAcquiteContext) with more powerful CSP is enough, in this case the the MS_STRONG_PROV.

Will You Go to Jail After a Fatal Car Accident in Fort Worth?
Jason Stephens | September 9, 2022 | Car Accidents
In 2021, a person died in a car accident about every two hours in Texas. Statewide, fatal traffic accidents increased by 15.22% in 2021. That year, there were 4,489 traffic fatalities, including 130 traffic deaths in Fort Worth.
There are many causes of fatal car accidents in Fort Worth. Deadly car crashes occur because of:
Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
Distracted driving, including texting while driving
Failing to yield the right of way or obey other traffic laws
When a person dies in a traffic accident in Fort Worth, the person who caused the accident could be held financially liable for damages. The deceased person's family could sue the at-fault driver for wrongful death.
However, causing a fatal car accident in Fort Worth could also result in a driver going to jail.
When Could I Go to Jail for Causing a Fatal Car Accident in Fort Worth?
A driver could face several criminal charges after a fatal car accident. Several criminal offenses could result in going to jail for a fatal car accident.
Under the Texas Penal Code, a motorist could face charges of vehicular manslaughter if their actions while operating a vehicle cause the death of another person. Offenses that could lead to vehicular manslaughter charges include, but are not limited to:
Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) (intoxicated manslaughter)
Racing on a highway, including drag racing, acceleration contest, and setting speed records
Negligent driving
Vehicular manslaughter is a wobbler offense. Depending on the underlying criminal offense, it can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. The punishment for vehicular manslaughter includes jail or prison sentences.
Wrongful Death Claims for Fatal Car Accidents in Fort Worth
In addition to facing criminal charges, you could also be sued by the family if you cause an accident that results in death. A spouse, children, or parents can file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking damages for the death.
Damages for a wrongful death action include:
Loss of financial support (i.e., loss of earnings and income the deceased would have earned had they not died in the car wreck)
Medical bills incurred between the accident and the death
Loss of household support
Reasonable expenses for cremation, burial, and funeral
Loss of companionship, guidance, care, counsel, and support
In some cases, the court may award punitive damages for a wrongful death claim. Punitive damages "punish" the defendant for conduct including gross negligence, malice, and fraud. DUI accidents and racing accidents are examples of cases that might justify punitive damages.
A civil case for wrongful death is separate from any criminal charges the person might face for a fatal car crash. However, even if the driver is not charged with a crime or is acquitted of a crime, the family can still pursue a wrongful death claim against the driver.
However, the family has the burden of proving the elements of a wrongful death claim to recover compensation.
What Are the Elements of Wrongful Death for a Fatal Car Accident?
If your loved one died in a car crash, you could hold the at-fault driver liable for damages. However, you must prove by a preponderance of the evidence the following legal elements:
The at-fault driver owed your loved one a legal duty of care
The at-fault driver failed to uphold the duty of care (breach of duty)
The breach of duty was the direct and proximate cause of your loved one's death (causation)
Your family member's death resulted in losses and damages
All drivers have a duty of care to operate their vehicles in a manner that does not put others at risk of injury. That duty includes obeying traffic laws.
However, the duty of care also includes avoiding negligent driving behaviors that could cause an accident. Examples of negligent driving behaviors could include:
In addition to proving that the at-fault driver breached their duty of care, you must prove causation. Being arrested for DUI might not be sufficient proof to establish a "direct and proximate" cause for the collision.
However, a Fort Worth car accident lawyer can help you gather evidence proving the at-fault driver caused the crash. Evidence that might help prove causation and fault includes:
Copies of accident reports
Eyewitness statements
Statements from the at-fault driver
Physical evidence at the crash scene
Videos of the car crash
Photographs of the accident scene
Expert witness testimony
An accident lawyer has the resources and skills to conduct a thorough investigation to gather the evidence necessary to prove the case and help you get justice for your loved one.

With decreasing interest in pursuing pure science programs, the onus is on Primary and Secondary schools to attract and maintain interest of students to pursue science subjects. Misunderstanding fundamental concepts leads to misconceptions about how processes work in nature. Many decades of teaching science to children without recourse to practical and hands on activities has led to disillusionment among learners that science is difficult to comprehend. It is discussed in this paper that this phenomenon is not restricted to the East African region but has also been documented and tackled in developed countries. It is proposed that introducing astronomy as a subject at all levels of education can revive interest in science and provide hands on experiences that can assist to remove fundamental misconceptions about processes in nature.


Spending June in Paris with my sister!
We still have about one month of preparation before the audition for the Paris Opera Ballet. This will be a critical moment in my career. To let myself relax more during this period, I decided to stay away from the dormitory, where the atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier. However, I cannot stay in Paris alone, and my host family lives a little bit too far from my school. My last host family, the Ellison family, so kindly offered their empty flat in Paris to me and my sister so that we can stay together in Paris in June before my audition. Moreover, I can have the entire control on my diet. Since then, all my worries seem to be solved! I really can't wait to see my sister at the train station this Friday!
After the decision, we have so many culinary plans: Cantonese fried rice, Chinese soups, healthy vegan desserts, sushi.......... Just in 5 days!!!! I really can't wait!!!! A big hug to my lovely sister for accepting to stay in France for 2 more months before returning to Hong Kong! And a million thanks to the Ellisons who gave us the chance to stay together in Paris!
Yesterday was the Fete de l'Ecole (School Festival). It's a show case that's organised only by last year's (1st division). Being one of first division's students, I participated in the preparation. Every student can perform in the showcase to show off their talents, not only in the form of dancing! Magic show, instrument playing, dancing, theatre............ The students are totally free to perform what they desire to. The preparation of this showcase is supposed to be secret. No adults are supposed to know anything about it before the performance!
"Chun Wing, I hope that you will play piano in the school festival! Won't you?".
"Well, I don't think so!", I replied.
"I don't dare to......", I said timidly.
"But WHY!? (he stepped the floor) You're good in piano and you SHOULD do it! Come on!"
Then, I decided to play something in the show. And I've chosen the music in the Youtube video above. Since the teachers, Miss Platel (The director of POBS), Miss Lefevre (Dance director of POB), all the teachers and parents will be watching this show, and since most of them didn't know that I play piano, I really wanted to impress them. I chose this very difficult piece just two weeks before the show. I worked a lot on it. At the beginning, somehow I told myself "Oh, you're not going to do that!" But finally I did it! I asked some girls do dance on this music, if not I wouldn't have had the courage to do that alone! It finally turned out to be something not bad.
I was extremely busy last week because of all the rehearsals and practicing after school. And I was very nervous about the show. On top of that, I had to choreographe a dance piece for some younger students. I realised that I've learnt a lot from this school festival. Working with classmates is much more difficult than working with adults. Every student have their opinions, and it finishes always by arguments. But when working with an adult, even you don't like his/her idea you won't say anything, so it's much more efficient. What we've done in just only two weeks is just impressive, letting me know that, really, nothing is impossible!
At the end of the perofmrance, Miss Lefevre (Director of POB) gave a speech to the whole school and said that, "There's love that's running around this school, even though there are a lot of difficulties. And that is Art! Art is love that overcomes difficulties!"
Reward after the performances in Paris...... Two weeks holiday in Hong Kong!
The performances in Paris were quite successful. I always feel great when I walk out from the backstage door and when people come over to congratulate me. But before that I had a long period of rehearsals and stress, which has been very difficult.
So after the 4 shows in Paris, I finally returned to Hong Kong for holiday!!~ I hadn't been back to Hong Kong since last September. I was extremely excited when I arrived Hong Kong! More than that, it was the first time that my mother was on holiday at the same time! So I really had a great time with my mum.
Being away from Hong Kong for a long time, it gave me the curiosity to know more about the city. So I visited Hong Kong as a "tourist"! And then when I went back home in the evening, having a dinner prepared by my lovable grandma.......... oh it's just an indescribable feeling of joy!
To know more about my grandma, check out this page on my site.
During the performance period, since I had a lot of rehearsals in Paris which finished very late, I stayed at my last host family's flat, which is in Paris. To know more about my last host family, check out the page The Ellison Family of my site.
When David (their son who stayed in Paris) was not there, I prepare my dinner myself. And at the same time I prepare my meals for the next day as well, because we had so many rehearsals in the Opera that we had no time to go out for lunch! Below is a few photos of what I prepared myself.
A lot of steamed vegetables in rice cooker!
Mixed grains rice with steamed vegetables!
The vegan super healthy quinoa cookies!
Lunch in the Opera! Mixed grains rice with quinoa cookies!
In April, the school has given 4 performances at the Opera Garnier in Paris. We started preparing for this performance after the Christmas holiday. In 3 months' time, the students learned all the choreographies, the castings were decided, the costumes were adjusted and fixed. It has been a very difficult period because we had a lot of rehearsals everyday: we finish at 7pm. Everyone was very nervous about the performance, especially me! Since we only have one performance per year, we really had to grab the chance to present ourselves to the Parisian audience, the company (The Paris Opera Ballet) and to our own teachers!
I was very honored to be chosen to do the Flower Festvial of Bournonville with my partner Anais in the first two performances and the leading couple of Tarentalla in Napoli in the other two performances.
Here's a few photos of me on the stage of the Opera Garnier during the performances! Credits to Dorian Browne, my classmate and his mother Marilyn! The official photos of the performance will be posted next week at the Paris Opera Ballet School.


ASSEN, NETHERLANDS — April 6, 2012 — Belgian publisher, ATLAS, has chosen Anygraaf's Neo publishing system and AProfit ad management system for its publishing software needs. Sales and installation of the system will be handled by Penthion Media Technologies, Anygraaf's distribution partner in the Netherlands.
ATLAS is a weekly newspaper published in South West Vlaanderen. Distributed throughout the majority of the province, ATLAS has a circulation of 150,000. The search for a new system at ATLAS was instigated due to the discontinuation of the previously installed software package.
Director Martin Courtens says that "we kept encountering limitations with our current system. One day I found a brochure from Penthion on my desk and, after reading it, decided to investigate further." After an on-site demo was given to key staff members at ATLAS, Courtens was convinced. "During the demo I noticed that Penthion appeared to know the publishing industry quite well. They are ready to work with the customer and not impose a standard implementation. Once we had a cost outline, the decision was quickly made that we would do business with the Dutch."
The Neo publishing system is a framework for the control and management of the editorial enterprise. It includes documents, editorial resources, event calendars, ideas, projects, plans and planning tools. Internal archives as well as the Internet can be accessed from within Neo, centralizing and simplifying data searches. Neo addresses the challenges of the publishing industry by providing advanced tools for communication, efficient ways of routing material to multiple publishing channels, instant messaging and a variety of asset classification options.
AProfit offers complete functionality for booking, billing and tracking ads. Ad order entry and ad tracking are managed within a system that integrates with asset management and page and edition planning solutions. AProfit delivers time savings and offers customers greater access with capabilities to book ads, submit material and approve proofs via the Internet. AProfit lets users book, track and plan ad placement from one common system.
Established in 1946, the weekly magazine 'ATLAS' is well known in South West Vlaanderen. With a weekly circulation of 150,000, ATLAS covers a large part of the province of West Vlaanderen. As a local publisher, ATLAS is very close to everything that happens in the region including cultural, social and sporting activities.
Penthion Media Technologies has over 12 years experience as a total supplier of automation solutions for publishers of both magazines and newspapers. Penthion is the exclusive supplier of Anygraaf products. In recent years, the company has become recognized for the Doris publishing production system, which is installed at 30 publishers in the Netherlands.

England men's and women's national players receive equal pay
England women's captain Steph Houghton will receive the same match fees as Harry Kane (Getty Images)
Players for England's men's and women's sides are receiving equal pay, the Football Association has confirmed.
England women's players received the same match fees and bonuses for the first time during the SheBelieves Cup in March.
Phil Neville, who will leave his role as head coach next summer, guided his side to a third-placed finish at the four-team tournament, which was won by the United States.
However, there remains a disparity between the bonuses players receive depending on their finish at FIFA and UEFA tournaments.
In 2018, each England men's player would have received £217,000 if they had won the World Cup.
At the Women's World Cup last year, each England player would have received a £50,000 bonus for winning the tournament.

A statement from the FA read: 'The FA pays its women's players exactly the same as their male counterparts for representing England, both in terms of match fees and match bonuses.
'This parity has been in place since January 2020.'
The FA's announcement comes after Brazil became the latest national side to confirm that their men's and women's teams will receive equal pay.
Australia, Norway and New Zealand have already enforced the same rule with their national teams.

Bret Hart's HOF attacker identified as 26-year-old Zachary Madsen
Comments Off on Bret Hart's HOF attacker identified as 26-year-old Zachary Madsen
The individual who attacked Bret Hart yesterday at the Hall of Fame ceremony was identified as Zachary Madsen, a 26-year-old from Nebraska according to CBS New York.
The CBS affiliate adds to the story that Madsen caused minor injuries to a security guard who was helping diffuse the situation and punched Bret, but the two-time Hall of Famer did not require any medical attention.
Madsen apparently has been training for mixed martial arts and has a very wicked – and not in the good sense – Twitter account where he frequently tags Triple H and Vince McMahon with crazy messages. His latest tweet, sent on April 4, is now filled with replies from wrestling fans tearing him a new one for what he did.
He was arrested last year for violating a protection order and yesterday he spent the night in a jail cell at the 78th Precinct in Brooklyn where he was charged and was nursing the blows from Travis Browne, Shane McMahon, Davey Boy Smith Jr., Dash Wilder, and many others who whopped his ass following his assault.
