Sprawl's costs aren't just in land, but economic development
business, Economic Growth, Energy & Environment
"The Cost of Sprawl: More than $1 Trillion Per Year, Report Says" – Wall Street Journal
Growth is good.
Local growth is an efficient tax base generator.
If you widen a highway, it will ease congestion.
In a vacuum.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that widening a highway doesn't ease congestion. It makes it worse. As a state widens a highway, local development increases to take advantage of the higher volume of projected business. More housing developments sprout up around retail areas associated with the new and improved artery – increasing the volume of traffic. (Sierra Club white paper)
PLANNERS PLAYING CULTURAL CATCHUP
But there are two trends at work, here. Today, jobs downtown tend to be skilled, white-collar, and well-paid. Jobs out in the suburbs tend to be more retail, construction, and lower paid. And with the rise in more jobs in city centers, living there will become more expensive and limited to only those who can afford it. This is no more true than in places like New York.
Yet, planners are trying to resolve the issue in many cities. "People increasingly desire to live, work, shop and play in the same place, and to commute shorter distances — particularly the young and educated, who are the most coveted employees. So in many cities, both policy makers and employers have been trying to make living and working there more attractive." (NY Times)
But the imbalance between population and infrastructure remains. Few other cultures on earth desire convenience as much as Americans do. And so drives the need for planners to provide urban dwellers them the cake and their ability to eat it too. Enter the neo-suburb and sprawl.
So, you now live in a single, interlinked strip mall urbanscape. Forget about the absence of parks or green areas, the scattered tax base from the collection of small businesses that can't support long-term growth. It begins to decay. Your morning walk now takes you along a split six-lane thoroughfare crammed with Big Box retail shoppers and the on-the-go crew who are picking up their egg & sausage muffins at the drive-thru.
This is not just about the environmental effects. It's about the question of where our cities will be in the future – and where the land falls into that algorithm. Just look outside our nation's capitol. (Washington Post)
IF YOU BUILD IT, TOO MANY WILL COME
Meanwhile, local and state governments, like that in Tyson's Corner, VA., continue to do what they feel necessary to adapt to changes in population behaviors.

(Tyler, TX) "New expansion project set for West Loop 323″
(Asbury Park, NJ) "Parkway widening to restore shoulders, lengthen overpasses"
In a paper published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, economists Gilles Duranton and Matthew Turner of the University of Toronto nail the problem. "People drive more when the stock of roads in their city increases; commercial driving and trucking increase with a city's stock of roads; people migrate to cities which are relatively well provided with roads." (NBER)
WAITING FOR MODERNIZED INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY
There are additional examinations of the issue citing the three most congested cities in the U.S. are that way, precisely because of 'road-based" development solutions. And it's not limted to the U.S.: "Meanwhile, China has increased its expressway network from 16,300 km in the year 2000 to around 70,000 km in 2010. Yet the average commute time in Beijing increased by 25 minutes between 2012 and 2013 to 1 hour and 55 minutes." (City Metric/UK)
Additional research surveys from both sides of the coin continue to flourish on the numbers and impact of population growth and lagging infrastructure. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) says $3.6 trillion of investment is needed by 2020 to meet the needs of growth. The National Construction Association calls for a more free market approach to the problem. Researchers there have also put together their own in-depth report. But, much like the climate change debate, how well advocacy organizations, the business sector, and policy makers agree on a long-term vision may unfortunately rest on the growing direct and existential evidence of doom.
In an earlier blog, I talked about the nation's desperate need for a cohesive plan to strengthen the nation's infrastructure by essentially promoting teamwork between local governments and federal officials. It's a basic observation to be sure. But to not have a long-term vision of what we're all about as a society is to jeopardize who we will become as a nation. In Australia, the Aborigines believe they do not own the land but are part of it. Therefore, they have the duty to respect and maintain the land. Maybe we'll figure that out before it's too late.

Does your Association have an online strategy to help grow membership?
(Original text published on the AENC blog)
A word on Associations – Nurses, Accountants, Bankers, Florists…Whoever. You may think your Association needs a stronger online presence, but are confused as to what that exactly means. And you see its potential.
The number of ways you can communicate with your audience can be overwhelming. And there are a few fundamentals to understand before moving forward.
"Liking" you is not enough
"If you build it, they will come" only worked in the movie. Just setting up a Twitter account or Facebook group page as standalone presences is a regressive strategy. If your association isn't communicating its key messages, you won't generate a following. Worse, owning these profiles with no activity or followers just looks bad and delivers the wrong message as well.
Actively communicate your messages
The first mistake in messaging is trying to tell everything, to everyone, all the time. As an association, you know who your members are, and you know how your work benefits people on a broad scale. But like any marketing strategy, it's critical to identify specific audiences, but also deliver specific messages on how your work is directly relevant to their needs.
Identify your target goals and encourage participation
Establish a timeline around key dates and planned announcements. This may also include locally planned events. By using your online platforms to deliver your messages, you can encourage participation through "retweets" and other forms of sharing. By inviting members to be part of the process, your are both now the stewards of your organization's brand and mission.
Any successful online strategy is about building a presence that doesn't just give you your "15 minutes." Crafted carefully, it will help you earn a deep, living leadership role in today's marketplace.

Man City boss Guardiola 'demands more' after Huddersfield stroll
Pr, ENG, ManCity, Guardiola
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was far from satisfied despite seeing his side cut Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League to four points with a 3-0 win away to basement club Huddersfield on Sunday.
City were rarely in trouble after Danilo's deflected shot gave them an 18th-minute lead but they appeared to switch off for the remainder of the first half at the John Smith's Stadium against a Huddersfield team who parted company with manager David Wagner on Monday.
But whatever Guardiola said to his players at the break appeared to have the desired effect, with two goals in a matter of minutes early in the second half from Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane putting the result beyond doubt.
"The way we played we didn't deserve more than three goals," Guardiola told the BBC. "We will improve in the future.
"We have to demand more from ourselves in every game and do our best, but sometimes it's difficult. They defended deep and man to man."
Reigning champions City have now scored 62 goals in 23 league games so far this season, eight more even than Liverpool.
"What we have done so far has been incredible, in the league and the Carabao (League) Cup," said Guardiola.
"We have an incredible number of points (56). But this game can teach us and show what we have to do to improve.
"We've scored a lot of goals. So far, so good. One team has been better but we're in January and there's many more games to play. You don't win or lose the Premier League in January.
"We have to focus on what we have to do. If Liverpool win, we have to win. And if Liverpool lose then we also have to win."

"Flu-proof" Your Child: Time To Get A Flu Shot
Influenza is a serious respiratory infection that can result in hospitalisation and even death. The best way to prevent influenza is vaccination. Because the strains of viruses change every year, pharmaceutical companies conduct research to find out which strains will be typical for the coming season worldwide.
By Dr. Ekaterina (Kate) Naumova*
Most people have had the flu, but not everyone knows that the word "influenza" refers to a very specific group of viruses that are a dangerous subset of the various common colds and flus we're familiar with. In Việt Nam, you can get it at any time of the year.
Influenza is a serious respiratory infection that can result in hospitalisation and even death. The most common complication of influenza is bacterial pneumonia, but it can also aggravate chronic diseases such as asthma, chronic rhinitis and diabetes. It's a highly contagious viral infection transmitted by coughing, sneezing or contact with someone who is infected, and it can also be transmitted if you touch surfaces on which infected influenza droplets have landed.
After being exposed, it usually takes an average of two days to develop symptoms, but it can range from one to four days. Typical influenza disease causes the onset of fever, headache, a runny or stuffy nose, eye pain and sensitivity to light. Kids may also suffer from nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
The fact that it spreads so easily is what makes it such an important health problem. People become contagious from the very beginning, one or two days before the onset of symptoms – even when they don't yet know they have it. You can still pass on the virus to others for the next four or five days after the onset of symptoms.
Once you're infected, there's no going back. The virus will collect in the upper respiratory tract, producing phlegm in the airway in response to the inflammation of the surrounding organs. Your immune system (provided it's functioning normally) will start to detect the presence of the virus multiplying in your body, and get to work on developing an antibody to fight it. The symptoms you experience are a combination of the spread of the virus and your body's countermeasures, which will cause inflammation, fever and discomfort. Once your body has produced these antibodies, you'll be protected from reinfection – and if you ever do contact the same virus again, it will be swiftly and invisibly dealt with.
So how is it that you can get the flu again and again? It's because influenza gradually morphs into different forms as it spreads, making it resistant to antibodies that worked against it before. This means that every time the body catches a new strain of influenza, it must start from the beginning.
How can people protect themselves from a shape-shifting disease that keeps turning out new forms to infect us again and again? Firstly, we can try our best not to put ourselves and others at risk in the first place. For a start, remember to cover your nose and mouth with your sleeve or a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often with soap and water, or at least alcohol-based hand cleansers. Stay away from people who are sick as much as possible. If you already have influenza, stay at home from work or school for at least 24 hours after the fever has ended.
The best way to prevent influenza is vaccination. Because the strains of viruses change every year, pharmaceutical companies conduct research to find out which strains will be typical for the coming season worldwide. According to their results, they produce a new vaccine to match the circulating strains. Every year, we receive new vaccines that are different from the older ones and more effective against the forms of influenza that are likely to be ascendant during the following twelve months.
We usually receive our annual vaccines in October, which is the best time to get vaccinated. We use an inactivated vaccine (made from killed viruses) produced by Influvac that doesn't cause the disease. Unlike some vaccines, Influvac does not contain egg, meaning those with egg allergies (including pregnant women) can take it safely. It will protect you only from the more common strains of the influenza virus, however—if you're unlucky, you could still contract a less prevalent strain.
People aged six months and older should get the influenza vaccine, unless they suffer from an immunodeficiency condition. Kids under six months old should not get vaccinated because they're too small—usually at that age, however, the mother is breastfeeding, so she can pass on some immunity to the baby if she is vaccinated. It's recommended that everyone in a family with a baby should get vaccinated while the baby is still too young to receive or develop its own antibodies. It's also important to note that kids under eight years old who receive their first-ever flu vaccine should get two shots one month apart to fully trigger their immune response.
The 2019-20 influenza vaccination contains the following:
A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like strain
A/Kansas/14/2017 (H3N2)-like strain
B/Colorado/06/2017-like strain. — Family Medical Practice

The fourth word of verse (43:22) is divided into 2 morphological segments. A verb and subject pronoun. The perfect verb (فعل ماض) is first person plural. The verb's triliteral root is wāw jīm dāl (و ج د). The suffix (نا) is an attached subject pronoun.


For many years, His Holiness has had a deep commitment to secular ethics and the importance of compassion in helping to solve the problems we are facing in the world today.
A person's underlying outlook and motivation can certainly affect how he or she responds to life's adversities and dangers. An attitude of kindness and compassion brings a sense of self-confidence, an inner strength that reduces fear.
In fact, an individual's response to danger and ability to deal with fear can often depend more on their outlook and personal characteristics than on the nature of the situation itself.
In the Dalai Lama's own words: "I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren't born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit".

The Buzz in Moldova: Interview with Daniel Cobzac of Cobzac & Partners
Next Article Alexander Turcan Elected Vice President of the Chisinau Bar
"The most important news right now in Moldova relates to the results of the recent presidential elections," says Cobzac & Partners Managing Partner Daniel Cobzac, from Chisinau, referring to the November 15 victory of former World Bank economist Maia Sandu over incumbent Igor Dodon, the leader of the pro-Russian "Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova," which holds a parliamentary majority.
Cobzac believes that President-elect Sandu will try to strengthen cooperation with the United States and EU. He says that the relationship with Russia "will not be a priority as it was before, but I don't believe it will be disrupted either." Sandu is known for her desire for reform, he reports, describing that as "a good thing, given that, for the past 20 years or so, there have been no actual reforms." According to him, "Moldova just didn't have the luck of other ex-Soviet states that had leaders who had the well-being of their citizens as a priority." Instead, he says, "almost every leader we had was either quite unpopular or ended up on trial for corruption."
Although Sandu won almost 58% of the vote (which Cobzac describes as "remarkable," as "the Socialist party controls the government and all administrative resources"), he believes she will need additional support to pursue the reforms she has promised. "The office of the President has no outright legislative power," he points out, "so parliamentary support is crucial." Accordingly, he says, "the President-elect is hoping for the opportunity to take control of parliament and has hinted at potentially calling for a general election soon, where this may be attempted."
Moving away from politics, Cobzac reports that the only recent major change to Moldova's legislative landscape involves amendments to the country's Insolvency Law. "The reforms to the Insolvency Law were brought on by the EU and were drafted by a group of experts from Moldova, US, the World Bank, and local qualified judges," he says, adding that the changes "solved a lot of issues."
The most important amendment to the Insolvency Law, Cobzac reports, is the ability for companies to prolong the restructuring period. "The total period, now, is five years, as opposed to the previous three-year limit which was not enough to restructure a business."
Finally, assessing the pulse of Moldova's economy, Cobzac says that "the situation is not good, for all sectors of business," due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He reports that, because of the crisis, there have been no major deals for the past six months, and he reports that "the sectors that do work are large retail chains of stores and some local vendors here and there." With Moldova not belonging to the European Union, there are no relief funds coming its way, which means that help must be sought elsewhere. "The government has applied for several relief programs with donors from the EU and the USA but that these are all contingent on detailed plans for the way the assistance will be utilized," he says. "There are no indications that the government has completed any plans, so all of this is still on hold."
Nevertheless, Cobzac reports that on November 25 President-elect Sandu announced that Moldova will receive EUR 51.6 million in financial assistance from the EU. According to him, "although this money will come as a loan, it is still good news for the ailing Moldovan economy."

Now at Peabody Essex Museum, Traveling Exhibition 'In American Waters' Casts New Light On Our Relationship With the Sea

The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) is now showing In American Waters, a painting exhibition that reframes and expands our understanding of American culture and environment by looking at the sea. For over 200 years, American artists have been inspired to capture the beauty, violence, poetry, and transformative power of the sea. The exhibition, on view at PEM in Salem, Massachusetts, from May 29 through October 3, 2021, features a diverse range of modern and historical artists, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Amy Sherald, Kay WalkingStick, Norman Rockwell, Hale Woodruff, Paul Cadmus, Thomas Hart Benton, Jacob Lawrence, Valerie Hegarty, Stuart Davis, and many others. In American Waters is co-organized by PEM and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

"As this exhibition vigorously asserts, marine painting is so much more than ship portraits. Through more than 90 works, we can trace changing attitudes about the symbolic and emotional resonance of the sea in America and see how contemporary perspectives are informed by marine traditions," said Dan Finamore, PEM's Associate Director — Exhibitions and the Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History. "No matter where we live, the sea shapes all of our lives and continues to inspire some of the most exciting artists working today."
Collaborative and interdisciplinary, In American Waters combines art history, marine history, and even neuroscience to encompass greater geographical breadth, a multiplicity of artists and artistic expressions, and a more inclusive vision for American marine painting and American art more broadly. To these ends, this exhibition is the first to grapple with how attitudes about the sea may manifest in works that are not traditional seascapes. Instead, the experience explores industry and political conflict, sailor culture, visions of the undersea world and abstraction, as well as legacies of the Middle Passage and immigrants' points of entry.
Founded in 1799 by the East India Marine Society in Salem, Massachusetts, PEM developed one of the nation's first and foremost maritime collections. Situated on one of New England's most historic harbors, the museum has long stewarded, and celebrated the interplay of maritime history and global interconnectivity. Exhibition co-organizer, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, was founded in 2011 in the Ozarks. The region surrounding Bentonville, Arkansas, is known for its abundant waterways in the form of springs, creeks, lakes and rivers, most notably the White River that originates from the Boston Mountains of Northwest Arkansas and ultimately feeds into the mighty Mississippi River, which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.

Even before marine art was produced in America, seascape paintings were included among items imported from Europe to decorate American homes in the latest style. Later, artists developed a distinctively American vision of the sea with an independent artistic identity.
The first artist in the United States to declare a specialty in marine subjects was Michele Felice Cornè. Cornè left Naples on Elias Hasket Derby's ship, Mount Vernon, in 1799, bound for Salem, Massachusetts. Upon arrival, he became a kind of artist-in-residence to the local shipowners, painting vessel portraits and historical and allegorical images in oils and gouache. Cornè's Ship America on the Grand Banks depicts the first of four ships so named by Salem's Crowninshield family between Independence and the War of 1812. It was the last British war prize taken by colonial privateers during the American Revolution. Cornè portrays the renamed ship in the international waters of the Grand Banks fishing grounds off of Newfoundland amid French and British flagged vessels. The history of the ship and its prominent American flag, set within a competitive commercial setting, evokes pride in the new nation and its emerging international profile.

"To look anew at American marine painting, we studied and analyzed its colonial and Eurocentric origins and found that the genre is far more dynamic and broad than previously assumed," said Austen Barron Bailly, Chief Curator at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. "When we think of marine painting we may think of high-seas realism and faithful portraits of ships but, as this exhibition attests, in practice we see broad-ranging expressions of American ambition, opportunity, and invention."
Artists have long crafted narratives of deepwater activities that take place far beyond America's shores, extending the image of the nation's engagement with the world into mid-ocean and beyond. Captain of a whaling fleet, John Bertonccini was also an artist who was said to paint at every opportunity, even using the ship's paint supplies when his own ran out. In the 1890s his fleet traveled into Arctic waters off the Yukon's north coast in pursuit of their prey, allowing their ships to freeze into the ice so they could winter over rather than make the long journey home each year. In a new work to enter PEM's collection, the artist created a birds'-eye view of their winter grounds showing the crew playing soccer and baseball to pass the time.

One of the few Native American women artists making marine paintings today, Kay WalkingStick (Cherokee Nation) expands American marine art traditions, evoking the seascapes of impressionist Childe Hassam and his response to Appledore Island located seven miles off the coast of New Hampshire, and modernists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, who was drawn to re-envision the experiences on nearby shores at Maine. WalkingStick's 2020 painting, New Hampshire Coast, pictures a location along the shoreline near present day Portsmouth. The artist honors the unbroken connections between coastal waters and the Abenaki community of the Wabanaki Confederacy. Her own pattern of composite Native American basket motifs permeates the rocky shore, reminding us that these are Indigenous lands and waters.

Amy Sherald continues the evolution of American marine painting with her 2019 painting, Precious jewels by the sea, a grand portrayal of four Black teenagers on a beach. Two boys stand tall with girls seated on their shoulders. They tower above a placid turquoise sea and the deep blue horizon. Their long shadows angle and cast over and beyond their red-and-white striped beach umbrella and straw picnic basket on the sand.
Mass appeal of the seascape and of the artist herself, who was the official portraitist of First Lady Michelle Obama, are central to this work. Sherald seeks to convey an expression of freedom. As the artist recently described, "I make these images of things that we normally do but we don't get to see in spaces like museums. Like black people going to the beach. . . . It makes me think about my mother. She didn't know how to swim, and she didn't like going to the segregated black beaches because she wanted to go to the prettier white beaches. It makes me think about how much things have changed generationally. . . . So it's really just about creating American narratives about American people — while critiquing it at the same time."
Today the sea is on the minds of Americans, in part, because of sea-level rise and the impact of associated climate events on coastal communities and beyond. More than 90 percent of the world's commerce travels by sea and it's no coincidence that most major American cities are situated on waterways — whether around protected coastal harbors or inland at the confluence of major rivers.

Artists have reflected Americans' understanding of this significance and of the sea as a connector. Maritime paintings are a multisensory experience. For viewers in any part of the world, these works are particularly adept at evoking sonic qualities — the relentlessly repetitive crashing of surf upon a beach, sailors calling out to one another from a ship's deck or high in the rigging. The noises of human activity such as the tolling of bells, laborers' chanteys, and cannon fire can register the same emotional power as that of the open ocean with only the wind and waves. These sounds and sights, and the art they inspire, have the power to transport us.
The exhibition travels to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, November 6, 2021 through January 31, 2022.
Published by the Peabody Essex Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and the University of Arkansas Press, a related publication, In American Waters: The Sea in American Painting, highlights American art historical and cultural traditions associated with the sea, deepening our understanding of it as a symbol of American ambition, opportunity, and invention. Edited by Daniel Finamore, PEM's Associate Director — Exhibitions and The Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History, and Austen Barron Bailly, Chief Curator at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, this 240-page book includes more than 120 images, featuring fascinating historical paintings alongside works by major modern and contemporary artists. With contributions by Austen Barron Bailly, Mindy N. Besaw, Sarah N. Chasse, Daniel Finamore, and George H. Schwartz.

Brazil reports yellow fever case in foreign traveler
A foreign traveler in Brazil has contracted the serious mosquito-borne virus, yellow fever (YF), according to a Brazil Ministry of Health press release (computer translated).
Image/CIA
Although many details of the case are lacking in the release, what we know is a case of sylvan yellow fever was reported in a foreigner traveled to the city of Alto Paraiso in Goias state and to Rio de Janeiro where the individual was diagnosed and received medical treatment in the hospital. The patient has since been released.
Vaccination against yellow fever is part of the National Vaccination Calendar, being offered in the Unified System of Health (SUS) in areas where the vaccination is recommended. It must be administered at 9 months of age with a booster at 4 years, and for adults according to the information below. As a preventive measure for residents or visitors to areas where vaccination is recommended, the Ministry of Health recommends that people who have never received vaccination against the disease and are going to areas of YF risk must be vaccinated at least 10 days previously.
As a preventive measure for residents or visitors to these areas, as a vaccination recommendation, the Ministry of Health recommends that people who have never received the vaccine against this disease and are going to travel to areas of YF risk must be vaccinated at least 10 days previously:
– Those who have had a dose of the vaccine more than 10 years ago must receive a booster dose (The WHO indicated recently that the live, attenuated virus YF vaccine does not require booster every 10 years, but provides life-long immunity).
– Advise people who travel to YF risk areas without having been vaccinated at least 10 years previously to avoid going to forest areas.
– If it is necessary for these unvaccinated people to go to these places, they must wear clothing that protect exposed areas of the body, mainly arms and legs, and use mosquito repellent.

I'm A Celebrity 2020 Cast Line-Up Rumours
Who's set to be heading down to a castle for series 20 of I'm a Celebrity? Here's the list of rumours so far.
ByKimberley Bond
Friday, 28th August 2020 at 11:26 am
Reality TV fans will be faced with an I'm A Celebrity series quite unlike any before it when the show returns for its 20th series this year, with the show swapping its usual Australian jungle setting for a castle in North Wales due to coronavirus restrictions.
One thing that won't change, however, is that, as usual, we can bank on an interesting line-up of famous faces being brought in to take part as they aim to be crowned the first ever King or Queen of the Castle.
And already we're seeing all sorts of big names linked with making an appearance in the jungle, with rumours developing around the usual selection of soap stars, former footballers and entertainers.
No names have been confirmed as of yet, but with speculation continuing to mount regarding who may take part, we've taken a look at some of the celebs who may be heading down under.
If any of those celebs do take part it seems that they might face one more challenge than usual, with reports suggesting that contestants will be required to quarantine for at least two weeks before entering the jungle.
Keith Duffy
Former Boyzone member Keith Duffy is one name who has been linked with a possible appearance on this year's series.
According to The Sun, a source said, "Keith has had Zoom meetings with I'm A Celebrity's booker.
"Since the location moved from Australia to North Wales it's been a little more tricky to get people on board but the team are confident they sold it well. Keith would make for a brilliant camp mate with his celebrity tales and his can-do attitude."
The singer, who has also won acclaim for his acting roles including a stint on Coronation Street, has previously appeared on reality series including a Celebrity Big Brother in 2001 and Splash! in 2014.

Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy, has been tipped to appear on I'm A Celebrity.
The reality star, who is famous for appearing on ITV's Love Island in 2019, has been given odds of 2-5 by Betway to join the show.
Betway's Chad Yeomans told Mirror online: "Love Island's Tommy Fury is odds-on at 2/5 to be battling his way through bushtucker trials on this year's I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!"
Vernon Kay
Apparently Vernon Kay has been approached a couple of times to take part, but according to The Mirror, 2020 is the year they've sealed the deal on him – and a hefty deal that is, at a £250,000. A source told the publication: "Everyone's so pleased to have Vernon on board, he's a lovely guy, full of down-to-earth northern charm and perfect for the show."
The Vivienne
She may have stormed to victory on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, but it seems The Vivienne has another crown in her sights: the jungle crown. She spoke to Lorraine Kelly in July and told her I'm A Celebrity is in her sights… "Do you know what, I've never even thought about it really but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be. I'm petrified of spiders but get me to that jungle, I'd do it! What a great life opportunity that I'm never going to get again… I'm all for that!" We think The Vivienne would be amazing on I'm A Celebrity… listen up ITV!
All eyes are on the former Arsenal midfielder at the moment who could be about to get a ticket in the I'm A Celebrity 2020 series. According to The Sun, Merson is "the jewel in ITV's crown" and think he could be the key to getting plenty of viewers to the new instalment from the jungle.
A TV source told them: "Paul is really keen to relaunch his TV career and think this is the best way to do it after he's seen what it has done for his mate Harry Redknapp." They add it needs to be "worth his while" in terms of money, so if the price is right, we could see another England star in the camp fairly soon.
Carole Baskin
Calling all cool cats and tigers, because Joe Exotic's nemesis Carole Baskin is the latest celeb to be linked to I'm A Celebrity…
According to sources, Carole has been offered huge money to go Down Under at the end of the year after more than 64 million households across the world watched her on Netflix's Tiger King.
We know one person who won't be too pleased to see more of The Big Cat Rescue owner on screen, but we're totally here for it!
Jason Manford
Another person who would like to see Carole on the show is comedian Jason Manford.
During an appearance on Absolute Radio, the 39-year-old admitted he'd sign up for the show if it meant having Carole as his camp mate.
"If Carole Baskin ends up in the jungle, I might sign up!" he said.
Conor McGreggor
Sounds like the MMA fighter could be swapping the ring for this year's castle.
Conor – who leaves fighting with a record of 22 wins and four losses – recently posted an emotional goodbye to the sport on his Twitter account.
And now Ladbroke is tipping him 8/1 to take part in the show later this year.
Jessica O'Reilly of Ladbrokes said: "McGregor would be a box office signing if ITV bosses can afford him and he swaps the octagon for the jungle."
The 53-year-old is best known for playing for Manchester United, but it sounds like he could be taking on the I'm A Celebrity… challenge this year instead.
The show's bosses have reportedly signed up the football legend for this year's series.
According to The Sun, the show's big boss Richard Cowles said: "I just like the idea of Eric Cantona talking in French and coming up with really profound things. That would be really good."
Beverley Callard
She's been entertaining ITV viewers as Corrie's Liz McDonald for decades now, so it's no surprise that I'm A Celeb bosses are keen to have Beverley on the show. And the popular actress has more free time in her diary now, after recently leaving the soap.
Rumour has it, she has already been in 'virtual talks' to appear on this year's I'm a Celeb, and some sources claim she has already signed on the dotted line.
A source told The Mirror: "Everyone was thrilled when Bev said yes, she is such a well-loved ITV face."
RadioTimes.com has contacted ITV about the rumour, but a representative declined to comment.
John Barnes
Most celebs are pretty coy when asked if they would sign up for a stint on the show, but ex-England footballer John Barnes is happy to admit he is keen to take part.
"I've done a few shows – I've been on Family Fortunes and The Brightest Family," he told RadioTimes.com. "I did Strictly Come Dancing 10 years ago, but Dancing on Ice with my age and the injuries I've had, I don't think so. The Jungle would be good – I could lose some weight, sit around and do nothing!"
John also took part in ITV hit reality show Harry's Heroes: The Full English, in which former King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp tried to get former footballers back into shape.
As well as boasting an impressive reality TV CV, John is well known for being outspoken, so would surely be a great signing for the show. He was rumoured for the 2019 series, could this be the year he finally makes it out to Australia?
Signing one of the BBC's best-loved presenters would be a real coup for I'm A Celebrity, but his name is strongly linked to this year's series.
It would certainly be fun to see how the mild-mannered Country file presenter coped with the experience, and now that Matt has left The One Show he will be looking for new projects. He's already done Strictly of course, coming second to Kara Tointon in 2010.
The most intriguing part of this rumour, is that Matt has admitted he wouldn't rule out taking part in the show. Speaking to Hello! magazine he said, "I haven't had any conversations yet but I am reluctant to say no to anything without having a good think about it."
Music to the I'm A Celeb booker's ears, you would think…
Joe Sugg
TV producers are always trying to attract younger viewers to their shows, and influencer Joe would bring a huge teen audience with him, just like he did during his time on Strictly. Once the series began he then proved popular with fans across the board, and that universal appeal would make him a dream signing for I'm a Celeb.
While Joe has been busy dancing and planning a tour with girlfriend and Strictly partner Dianne Buswell, he is still waiting for another big TV project to come his way. I'm A Celeb could be it.
But Joe has previously said he's unlikely to sign up for the show because he's worried about losing too much weight. "I don't think I'd survive in the jungle, because they live on rice and beans. I'm so slim and I find it hard to put on weight, so I don't think I'd last very long in the jungle. I think I'd waste away."
Charles Ingram
ITV's recent three-part drama Quiz got us all talking about the Who Wants to be a Millionaire coughing scandal once again. The popularity of the series, and the fact that the Ingrams are back in the spotlight, has sparked rumours that the Major will be offered a place in the I'm A Celeb camp.
The Ingrams have always maintained that they are innocent, and did not cheat in that fateful episode. They were also subject to intense media scrutiny and some nastiness from the public at the time. With the drama leaving us all unsure what really happened, a stint in the jungle could be a welcome chance for Charles to clear his name and change his public image.
The bookies certainly expect him to sign up: at the end of April Ladbrokes gave short odds of just 3/1 that he would take part in the show, calling him 'the A1 choice for the next series.'
AJ Pritchard
Former Strictly pro AJ pulled out of this year's series at the eleventh hour, having already been announced for the 2020 show. He said he wanted to concentrate on other opportunities, including presenting jobs with his brother, Love Island star Curtis.
A visit to the I'm A Celebrity… castle would certainly help him reach a new audience and let people see the man behind the moves.
AJ admits that, if he were to sign up to the I'm A Celeb, he would be rubbish at the Bush Tucker trials. Speaking on Channel 4's The Steph Show, he said, "Well, let me put it like this, I've just cleaned out the loft as my mum has a list of jobs for us to do. The amount of spiders up there, I was screaming my head off. So, if anything like that did happen, it would be hilarious – that's for sure!"
AJ would join a long list of former Strictly dancers who have appeared on I'm A Celebrity, including Ola Jordan, James Jordan, Brendan Cole and Vincent Simone.
Ronnie O' Sullivan
I'm A Celebrity always features one or two sporting legends in the line-up and Ronnie O' Sullivan is appearing on a lot of rumour lists this year.
The snooker pro has enjoyed huge success but has also made headlines away from the table. He would make a great camp mate, but says he's not ready to sign up yet.
Speaking in 2018, Ronnie said he won't go on the show while he still has the opportunity to take more snooker titles. "I was invited onto I'm A Celebrity this year but I decided to put it on the back-burner. I'm sure in time I'll give it a go. I would really like to do it but not when you think you can still win tournaments. It's about snooker first."
The politician could be set to go into the castle this year.
The Brexit Party leader has turned down offers before in order to focus on Brexit, with one deal reportedly worth £1 million, but with it now complete, maybe 2020 could be the year.
Quizzed on ITV's This Morning recently, he said: "Well, you never know!… I don't know. The jungle have been after me a couple of times, they have."
Were he to enter the jungle, Farage said he had no doubts that he would end up facing every bush tucker trial.
"I'd be doing every bloomin' trial there is. Because the problem with having an opinion is, whilst some people love you, a lot don't," he laughed.
Now that it's on home turf, it might not be so bad!
The I'm A Celebrity line-up tends to include some of our fave soap stars.
Last year, EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa won, and in previous years we've had Corrie's Jennie McAlpine – who plays Fizz – and Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter.
So it's likely we'll be seeing some more on this year's show – and it could be a good time for Lucy, given the fact that she recently left the cobbles.
"Lucy is bubbly, funny, down-to-earth and game for a challenge, so she is a great fit for I'm A Celebrity," a source revealed last year.
However, she turned it down as she worked on preparing her exit from the ITV soap.
But, with it now over could Lucy have more time on her hands?
Jasmine Armfield
Another soap star who could make an appearance in the castle, is EastEnders' Jasmine Armfield.
Like Lucy, the 21-year-old recently left the BBC One soap, so it'd be a great time for her to sign up.
Plus, she could give 2019 winner Jacqueline Jossa a call for some tips!
Phillip Schofield
He's been rumoured to appear on the show before, but could 2020 be the year the This Morning host finally takes the plunge and enter the castle?
There's no denying Phillip would make great TV on the series, after admitting that he wouldn't be able to deal with the sound of a metal spoon on the metal bowls contestants have to eat out of on the show.
We guess we'll just have to wait and see if he signs on the dotted line…
The Good Morning host has hinted at appearing on the show, after her fellow presenter Kate Garraway made her way into The Jungle last year.
She was keen to try on Kate's camp hate during an episode of the breakfast show, and Kate joked that it could be her next, to which she joked: "No, I would get too hungry!"
If not Susanna, it's likely Piers himself could be off to the castle location this year.
Despite previously saying he wouldn't, the Good Morning Britain presenter has admitted he'd do the show for the right money.
Last year, The Sun Online told how he demanded a whopping £5million on the show.
"Like I said, £5 million and I'll come and munch kangaroo testicles. Not a penny less," he said.
He named his price after jungle hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly said they would do anything to make it happen.
But will Ant and Dec be willing to dig that deep into the pockets, with the highest paid fee reportedly being £600k.
Having reportedly turned down I'm a Celebrity before taking part in dystopian social-media reality show The Circle, Madeley has now seemingly had a change of heart before the show.
"The reason I've said no is not because I don't think I'd be up to it or anything like that, it's just it's a month – it's a good month out of your life," he told RadioTimes.com.
"When I did the Circle I was only out of circulation for a total of 7 or 8 days. And that was trying enough to be honest because, like most people, I'm quite busy and I've got a lot going on.
"So if they ask me next year, I will think about it seriously, but I'd really have to have a look at my diary really and see how it would impact on what I do because I'm a freelancer. I'd have to think about it carefully and see if I could make room for it."
The Grand Tour presenter appears keen to head Down Under and chow down on bull testicles and clean out the jungle camp dunny for £1000,000.
"We all say no now because we've all got jobs," he said on The Jonathan Ross Show. "If you're down the line and somebody said, 'Here's a hundred thousand pounds to go and eat some maggots,' count me in!
"Yes, I'd go and do it… When we're old and in the way, you can't say. Never say never to that!"

Historical Development of the Nigerian Constitution
The purpose of this write up is to trace the source of the Nigerian constitution and how it was developed from time. The development actually stated from 1922 and a substantial content was added in 1979; that was long after the Nigerian Civil War. Yet more content was added in 1999 when a number of amendments were also made that year. The 1999 constitution is the exact document being used by the Nigeria of today. However, many think there is need to also modify this constitution.
Lagos was never part of the Nigerian entity at the initial stage. It was not annexed to Nigeria until 1861. The man that formulated the first constitution for Nigeria was Sir Hugh Clifford. He was pressured to do this by the Caseley Hayford-led West African congress in 1922, which was the year the first constitution was constituted for Nigeria and a host of other West African countries colonized by the British, namely Gambia, Sierra Leone and Gold Coast.
The Clifford Constitution of 1922 introduced the very first electoral system in Nigeria and the very first election was conducted that year into the Nigerian legislative council; Calabar was given 1 slot and Lagos was given 3 slots. Only those earning 100 pounds per annum were allowed to contest in the election.
The Richard constitution
It came up in 1944 under the leadership of the then governor Sir Arthur Richards and it forms the very first constitution amendment in Nigeria. The Nigerian educated elite formed the chunk of those that pressured him to institute the constitution amendment. The purpose of this constitution all amendment was to
Promote the unity of Nigeria
Provide adequately for every entity that makes up the Nigerian nation in the constitution.
Make more provision for Nigerians to determine their own affairs.
A new legislative council was provided for in the new constitution. The constitution amendment team comprises the governor, 16 official and 28 unofficial members. The governor nominated 2 and the 4 were elected out of the 28 unofficial members. 11 members were nominated by the north, 8 by the east and 6 by the East. The said constitution made provision for regional houses of assembly. The native authorities were to nominated members of the regional assembly. For anyone to qualify for election, the member should earn at least 50 pounds per year, which made it possible for more people to participate in elections.

The first set of Nigerians to be members of Lagos executive council were Sir Adeyemo Alakija and Bankole Rhodes.
The Macpherson constitution
Nigerians were included in this constitution amendment that took place under the leadership of the then governor Sir John Macpherson. Many Nigerians were consulted, even those residing in villages. The Ibadan Conference of 1950 formed the basis for the southwest's viewpoint to the new constitution. The federal house of representative was provided for in the new constitution with 136 elected members, 6 ex-officio members and 6 other members nominated by the governor. The north had 68 members, the west had 34 members and same number came from the east.
The Lyttleton Constitution
The need for this constitution began with a proposal made by Anthony Enahoro of the Action Group that Nigeria should be given independence in 1956. The northerners felt they were not ready for independence and they opposed it. This led to the Lyttleton constitution and it was held in London in 1954. The outcome of the conference formed the basis for the Lyttleton Constitution. The constitution abolished the West African court of appeal; it however established the Nigerian Supreme Court and a number of regional high courts. The constitution made provision for the regions to govern themselves and the western and eastern regions stated self-governance in 1957. Two years later, the north began self –governance. Southern Cameroon however opted out of Nigeria via a referendum.
The Independence Constitution
Nigeria finally became an independent nation on October 1st, 1960. As at independence, the Queen of England was still the head of state of Nigeria. She was represented by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Nigerian Governor-General, while Tafawa Balewa became the Prime Minister. The purpose of the constitution was to completely remove foreign influence on the Nigerian state. It took its basis from the 1954 constitution, but a number of changes were made. Provision for citizenship acquisition was made in the new constitution. Provision for constitution amendment was also made in it. Nomination formed the basis for appointing judges for the courts. The highest court of appeal in Nigeria according to this constitution was the Privy Council.
In the new constitution provision was made for dual executive, comprising the head of state and head of government. The head of state was a ceremonial personality, while the head of government had executive power.
The 1963 Republican Constitution
This new constitution was passed into law on 1st October 1963 and it was in line with the constitutional conference that was held in Lagos between July 25 and 26, 1963. The constitution made provision for real independence of the Nigerian state. This constitution removed Queen Elizabeth as the head of state. The constitution provided that the president be chosen by secret ballot by members of the national assembly and House of Representatives. This brought in Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe as the president and commander in chief of the armed forces.
The constitution also recognized the Supreme Court as the highest court of appeal in Nigeria. The said constitution abolished the judicial serve commission. The prime minister became the one appointing the judges. The senate membership was increased to 56 from 44. The house of representative was increased to 312 from 305. This was necessitated by the creation of the Mid-western state.
The presidential constitution of 1979 and 1999
This was instituted by General Olusegun Obasanjo, who constituted a 49 member constitution drafting committee and it was headed by F.R.A Williams. The constitution was amended by Justice Udo Udoma and it as instituted on October 1st, 1979. Parliamentary system of government was jettisoned by the constitution and it was replaced with the presidential system of government. It made the president both the head of state and head of government. The constitution also determined that electorates should choose the president. The senate membership was increased to 95 and the House of Representatives' membership was increased to 450.
