Sabbatical in London – a city of displacement
As I often say to my friends, family members, colleagues and training buddies, "Life gets in the way". Such has been the case with my absence for the past year. Since pulling back from community development work in Indianapolis and in general, I've worked with inmates addressing their criminal thinking and behaviours, painted, landscaped, worked in retail (Crate & Barrel) euthanized our dog, and eventually divorced; all leading to my self-funded sabbatical in London. Yes! I'm in London. England, The Royal Family, Big Ben, Tower London, Football (The Premier League) etc.
Self-funded means I'm earning and buying my time to reflect; engage in self-care, reconnect with my root's via intense listening and observation. You may ask what prompted the sabbatical, as if the aforementioned is not enough but maybe this phase will add some clarity without details; "Experience is a cruel teacher. It gives the exam first, then the lesson."
When I have arrived several months ago England was in the midst of a national and local election; the incumbent party, The Conservatives, won re-election for a second term. The issues for this national election; mirrors the same tensions which permeate most major cities in the United States and as country; affordable and social housing (Housing), improved, efficient affordable health care (Healthcare), improved school system (Education), border control (Immigration) and, a working populace and trade (The Economy). It was the usual quarrel between the two main parties Labour (Democrats) and Conservatives (Republicans): issues of economic equity and social mobility, balancing a budget, some touting success and others highlighting, success for whom?
Yes!England, London has its great landmarks and tradition of a "a cuppa", and while there is respectable admiration for the Royal Family not all its citizens subscribe to the decadence of the Empire; while the working poor are being taxed beyond what they earn . It's safe to say Capitalism has long had its hooks in the British economy, one need only look at the Transatlantic Slave Trade or even within the British Empire's historical system of indentured servitude and Landlords. Fast forward, look-up and out in any direction and one will see developments are ruling the skyline and landscape. The ripple effect of this commercial and residential development is pricing out local residents in the surrounding communities/zones at alarming rates. How is this happening? and what does it mean for social and economically diverse communities? Those are not answers we will explore in this blog but we will look at the construct/background to better understand the tension between progress and change – commercial/residential development and social equity.
To understand London as a City one portal to look through are the Zones which one would travel (bike, car, train , bus or helicopter) as a visitor or resident. The Zone system has been around since 1979: Zone 1 is central London; Zone 2 the inner city, and Zones 3 to 6 the suburbs. They have history, creating boarders for boroughs, imply economic and social status, foster economic and social segregation leading to various communities having a heavy saturation of a concentrated culture. According to Ben Judah, author of, This is London, The London of 1979 was more or less like this: Zone 1 was the property of the British elites and the upper middle class; Zone 2 was a grungy inner city where poor immigrants first settled, and Zones 3 to 6 were a patchwork of affluent or working-class suburbs.
However, in 2015 the Tube map, does not accurately reflect the hidden truths of a completely new city. London's demographics has changed; according to Ben it is now only 45 per cent white British, roughly 40 per cent foreign-born, and at least five per cent illegal or undocumented migrants. And it is growing. An 8.3 million-strong city, probably closer to nine million if you count the undocumented, demographically powered by immigration, is growing by about one million people a decade. He elaborate's:
This new London fits its communities into very different places on the Tube map. Zone 1 is being increasingly converted into a territory for the richest elites of Russia, France, China and the Gulf. The result is that it is no longer affordable to most of the children of the old establishment, or even those elites themselves.
This influx of foreign money has been one of the reasons behind a 100 per cent rise in London property prices in real terms since the early Eighties. This is now pushing money into the more affordable old inner-city ghettos of Zone 2 — sending existing trends of gentrification into hyperdrive.
Right across Zone 2, the rush of property buyers has seen grim inner- city areas previously treated as the territory of immigrant communities — such as Brixton for Afro-Caribbeans or Bethnal Green for Bangladeshis — rapidly transform into areas catering for the young middle class.
London's gentrification is well-known. What is less familiar is the flip side: where those pushed out end up. The process has seen Zone 2 become unaffordable to poor immigrants, forcing them into the old working-class suburbs in Zones 3, 4 and 5. This means immigrants increasingly land in places that were until recently almost wholly white.
For the record I reside in Zone 2, Imperial Whaf on the Overground; Chelsea-Kensington, Fulham and Hammersmith considered a tri-bourough. While it's an upscale neighbourhood its one of the few with mixed-income. I reside in a council flat which had secured tenancy twenty-years ago. The cost of a flat in my neighborhood is five-hundred pounds weekly, two-thousand pounds ($3,500.00) monthly for a two-bedroom. To buy a 3 bedroom house in my hood' the asking price is roughly between three-hundred thousand and half-a-million pounds ($750,00). By the way, houses are small, since space is a premium.
The places, I use to frequent and live (Ladborke Grove, Notting Hill Gate, Sheperdherd Bush, Brixton etc.) that were evenly populated by Afro-Carribbean, Asians (Indian's and Pakistani) and Europeans; now because of a reverse influx are the in-places' to live. Priced out of their neighbourhoods by the returning suburbanites, young-professionals and heavy investment these communities are shaping up to be monolithic rich ghetto's touting hip-hop fashionistas, skinny jeans hipsters, beard wearing vapor smokers with every type of luxury car one can imagine. More importantly, the impact it is having on the working class-poor is seen daily as they struggle to meet the bare necessities to survive with limited to no discretionary income. Essentially, they are renting their way to poverty since wages are not rising at the same rate as the cost of living and inflation. Like the United States, England touts the creation of new jobs each month, yet with wages so-low it leaves the working-class/poor with limited impact on the economy. Given the current narrative it can be argued they are being viewed as an after thought in developing economically diverse communities.
Ben Judah in analysis adds:
In both south and east London there has been a quiet fraying of race relations as a result of this toxic mixture of property prices and ethnic displacement. There is a widespread conspiracy theory that the Government wants to push "poor blacks out of the inner city" — and building sites for expensive residential properties are often vandalised or graffitied. London's 2011 riots were inflamed by these feelings and there have been attempts to organise repeat riots in Brixton and Hackney. The police believe they are a matter of time…The reasons for white exit are complex: winners from the property boom are tempted to cash in while losers are tempted to drop out, but there is an undeniable element of wanting to leave working-class suburbs that have transformed into migrant areas.
London, reflects the tension of change and progress at it's core. It remains one of the most diverse city's in world and that diversity is reflected in the eclectic cultures that add to its vibrancy. Unfortunately, that same diversity has yet to be reached on an economic and social level when it comes to equity. London like New York City, Chicago etc. has become a buyers market , a play-ground for the decadent with a promotion of a wealth driven approach to community and improved quality of life.
I'm glad to be back in the place of my birth, I'm glad that I took this risk , make this sacrifice investment as part of my journey. As my next steps are unfolding and lesson are being gleaned like intermittent snap shots; one snap shot that has been clear is "Change"and "Progress"are not mutually exclusive but must be inclusive. Ben Judah captures best my sentiment, which I think needs to be applied to major cities that chose follow the same old models of development:
London must learn the lessons of Paris: that creating a ring of struggling suburbs around an affluent core is a recipe for segregation, alienation and riots — which is near impossible to reverse. London is moving in this direction but can slow it down dramatically. Removing the incentive for property prices to rise infinitely…London calls itself the greatest city in the world but it is increasingly a city of displacement, with those losing out numbering in the millions. These are the people being tempted by the politics of closing its doors.

Ideas shape the terrain upon which we move!
"Ideas shape the terrain upon which we move" Antonio Gramsci
For the past several months I have removed myself from the landscape or "terrain" of the Indianapolis change-making community; Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center (INRC) http://www.inrc.org/ programs and events, Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF)http://www.cicf.org/, directly and indirectly supported initiatives, Velocityhttp://www.indyvelocity.com/, Quality of Life Plans supported by the Local Support Initiatives Corporation (LISC) http://liscindianapolis.org/, it's community partners and anything that has fallen under the purported improving Indianapolis, through "inclusiveness", "transformation", "attracting new professionals" , "sustainability" , "food deserts" and all the buzz words.
I removed myself from these efforts because of various reasons but some of the key ones were:
My disillusionment about processes that seemed to come from a place of disfranchisement and in-authenticity,
The varied responses to my questioning of the process,
Quality of Life Planning in my local community and others developed from a "power over" perspective and,
A narrative that was already shaped and decided with an illusion of community decision-making.
As an ardent supporter of "change" and "progress" working simultaneously, and a firm believer in social and economic justice, equality and equity leading to what call I "balanced development". I became troubled with a reality that proved to have a blatant disregard in it's planning efforts for communities on the margin, communities of color and communities where the challenges outweighed the available resources. Even when engaged in a "asset" based planning process there always tended to be a clear deflections and redirection of what those assets were, how they were defined and always in relation to a narrative that has/was already decided upon.
As I have and continue to digest my experiences moving through all three lenses (background, middle-ground and fore-round) it is clear to me that what I was witnessing, in part endorsing at one point and experiencing was a reality that truly was "outside in" and not "inside out". For the most part the aforementioned change makers have the majority of residents, activist and social change makers (actors/extras) believe there is only one set of ideas, one narrative, their method is the correct approach and if you are not on board then consider yourself out. The request for our input as actors/extras comes with un-articulated conditions, which are something like this:
Only have an idea if it supports the current narrative,
Any creative idea must push forth the current agenda,
Speak nothing of Race unless it's reflects the myth of a "post-racial society " that can strengthen the current narrative and,
Be grateful you are allowed "a place at the table".
Let me cap this off with the fact that some these change makers, organizational and individual intentions are well-intended but that's where it starts and ends. They have become prisoners of their own narrative and dear not engage in any form of an alternate narrative or even an exercise to see what it can look and feel like, primarily because of a lack of courage and fear of the loss of the illusion of power they wield.
Truth be told the current process of change making in Indianapolis and other ctiys with like demographics is dominated by a comprehensive framework of corporate-conservative ideologies. The ideas which are purported are grounded in a worldview of, beliefs, norms, value systems, core themes, popular wisdom and traditions of a dominant culture and dominant narrative; which for the most part are unexamined assumptions, by the various actors/extras doing the ground work to get what is called "buy-in". http://www.strategicpractice.org/system/files/worldview_contest_ideas.pdf
One need only look at the make up of leadership and it's clear the initiatives for the most part reflect what is central its own/cultural worldview and how they walk through this community called Indianapolis. Intended change reflect what they would like too see under the guise of progress and a change which by default creates negative effects of gentrification and a reality of "separate but not equal".
By no means has it been easy for me not to be involved in advancing the well-being of my community, working side-by-side with neighbors, friends and colleagues for a single goal of creating a better Indianapolis, community and society. Community is place for me where I find life, it adds meaning to my existence and deepens my relationship to humanity. However, it became a place that was not feeding me but rather using my energy, my image and my gifts to advance ideas and narratives that with every meeting was reflecting less of addressing the "world as it is" but rather creating a "world as it should be" reflective of the leaderships own dominant worldview/narrative.
It's one thing when Enron, JP Morgan Chase, and Wall Street conspired to the near-collapse of the financial sector in the Fall of 2008. It's even understood how they managed to label the perpetrators as the victims and condemn the poor, public service workers, retirees, my self and many other workers as having the audacity to complain about the gross concentration of wealth and power in our society. (Worldview and the Contest of Ideas, http://www.strategicpractice.org/system/files/worldview_contest_ideas.pdf. It's almost expected. However, when you see and experience these same ideas/narratives permeate, drive and even dominate the change making process under the guise of social and economic justice, one (me) is left wondering how authentic are these initiatives, organizations and individuals. I've always been a believer in the fact that it is,"the most difficult question/issues that need to be pursued". Yet, these issues, remain an after thought, marginalized within the landscape and terrain; not because it's polarizing but of the lack of courage to address the structural inequities which maintain the status quo.
I hope at some point I find myself back in the process of Indianapolis challenges to become a great City that reflects an authentic narrative, based on ideas that truly shape the terrain upon which we move. I hope at some point I can see an honest reflection from the leadership accepting responsibility for poorly managed change processes and the courage to create space for a new narrative that adds to the landscape and truly shapes the terrain upon which we all can move. I still have hope for Indianapolis, it's greatness can only be equaled by its courage.

We Are City Summit – Are We? – We Shall See!
"While growth is important, it is also imperative that growth becomes more inclusive because if certain regions, sectors or groups of people are denied economic opportunities for long periods, the spread and sustainability of growth itself is threatened. Hence, growth, to be inclusive, must take into account the betterment of every section of society." Dr. Anil Kumar, Professor of Economics, Banaras Hindu University, India.
Next month we have the Second Annual We Are City Summit – Thursday August 22, 2013 http://wearecity.us/ . I expect it to be an interesting half day.
It's goal: "The goal of We Are City is to enhance the conversation about city-building and celebrate the people and organizations that are doing it well." http://wearecity.us
Last year it's goal, "'We Are City' is an effort to build consensus around a variety of topics, to form a shared narrative of our values and vision for Indianapolis."
A month after the 2012 We Are City Summit, I wrote about the juxtaposition between the theme of We Are City and the fact that the presenters were the only diverse part of the summit. In fact I went further in my analysis, feedback and critique to say the following:
"We are City" displayed a focus of "Advancing ideas that make a better city". However, like the Urbanized Summit, the company was sparse on diversity; so much that I could count the number of people of color in the room (including several of the presenters) on one hand. Yet this was "We Are City" Summit". Not even a quarter of the persons in the room, let alone the majority looked like me, nor many others like me, engaged and invested in Indianapolis…Scanning the program, I immediately noticed the list of presenters was more diverse than the make-up of the audience…What a contrast, that the presenters at a summit entitled "We are City", should be more diverse than the audience in the room…"
Now let me make this clear last year's We Are City Summit's content was interesting, relevant, applicable and innovative. The presenters by all estimation were good. In the break there was what seemed to be genuine interaction grounded in meet n greet, colleagues catching-up, some slipping in work by sending an email, others texting and the presenters being bombarded by inquisitive folks like myself who seek connectivity to their work as they walk through this life. As for the format it was rather academic with a traditional presentation style. The presenter speaks, Q&A's at the end and an emcee popping-in and out between presentations with your standard break.
We are City – Summit 2012
In my response to last years summit I quoted one of the organizers from an interview in the Indiana Business Journal about a month before the event:
"'We Are City' is an effort to build consensus around a variety of topics, to form a shared narrative of our values and vision for Indianapolis," said Michael Kaufmann, director of special projects and civic investment at Health and Hospital Corporation, one of the co-founders and organizers of the event. "The goal is to propel us forward through both an analysis of our past, an acknowledgment of our present, and a hope for our future." (IBJ News Release – August 30, 2012)"
In the summation of my article I highlighted that We Are City Summit in it's attempt to claim an absolute "We", had failed; given it's glaring lack of representation of people of color from all walks of life in Indianapolis who play a vital role in shaping this City's future. In fact here is what I said and what I continue to purport not just for We Are City (Summit) but for Indianapolis at this pivotal time in it's development.
"The "We are City" Summit may have started the process of building consensus around these topics. As for creating a shared narrative of our values and vision for Indianapolis, it will surely have to include a broader, more inclusive and reflective audience in a City that is moving toward a majority minority. If the hope for this City's future is centered around truly shared values of all stakeholders, cultures and ethnicity's propelling Indianapolis forward, "We are City" will require an even more thorough analysis and acknowledgement of the present, with a willingness to move outside of its traditional relationships and comfort zones."
Following my blog two of the organizers met with me, wanting to get to know more about me but to really talk about the observations/critique in my blog. Both of the meetings were civil, a healthy exchange of ideas an elaboration on my closing remarks from my blog and a brief update by me on the emergence of project that was sparked by one of the presenters. In fact, they were so excited about the project, this February I was asked to write a brief for the We Are City bi-weekly emailed newsletter/brief. Needless to say the brief never made it to press.
So here is the "Brief" that never was:
My experience being part of Indianapolis' community of change makers hinges on uncertainty and hope. Uncertainty because one never knows what's the next feel good initiative popping up to meet some foundation or funders imperative; usually under the guise of making Indianapolis an innovative, transformed and inclusive City. My hope, this change maker community will reflect on its thinking and behavior and recognize the change they envision is hampered by their cultural tunnel vision.
Looking ahead, I have no idea what the next, We Are City Summit will offer or if the outreach efforts will develop a more inclusive and diverse audience. However, organizers did reach out in response to my blog: http://equitabledevelopment.com regarding We Are City's lack of a diverse audience. I refer to the attendees as "usual suspects." Were the organizers encouraging building of relationships in an attempt to understand "those neighborhoods" or were they covering their bases? I do not know.
Here is what I do know. As a result of the last We Are City, myself and a group of stakeholders (Prosecutors Office, Juvenile Probation, HITS and Collabo) have come together to replicate the "You Got Arrested-Now What?" comic book, presented by the Center for Urban Pedagogy. This would be a response to the issue of Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC), reflected by the increasing number of young men of color entering the juvenile/adult criminal justice system. The belief being that education is the best prevention for young men of color becoming another statistic.
Simultaneously, panel discussions surrounding job creation exploring the feasibility of the Evergreen Cooperative and it's like being replicated in Indianapolis are taking place at Ki-EcoCenter, http://kiecocenterorg.ipage.com hosted by Executive Director, Imhotep Adisa, Jim Naremore and Amy Rubin – Partners of 3rd Sector &Whitepaper Bluesky-http://whitepaperbluesky.com and myself. These conversations will hopefully open doors for additional job-created cooperatives in Indianapolis creating pathways of prevention for community residents and the same young men targeted by DMC.
Another outcome of We Are City aligned with the current conversation regarding Mass Transit. Javier Barrera (Latino Youth Collective) presented on how to make T.O.D. user-friendly, essential, relative and lucrative. Improving infrastructure and converting bus stops and buses into Wi-Fi hot spots, will give patrons from all walks of life continued connectivity.
My hope is We Are City is bold and authentic enough to challenge this community of change makers by creating space for authentic engagement with individuals and communities that do not look like its organizers, sponsors and gatekeepers.
I plan on attending the We Are City Summit next month (http://wearecity.us/) as you should too. From the line-up it is shaping up to be a good mix of interesting, innovative and creative presenters.
We are City Summit 2013
Thursday, August 22, 2013 (12 – 5PM)
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center home of the Indiana Historical Society
We Are City Summit – 2013 Goal
"We Are City SUMMIT", presented by Indianapolis Downtown, Inc., reemerges this summer with an eclectic mix of national and local speakers who work and play in the trenches and front lines of city-building. The second annual SUMMIT is designed to amplify city improvement conversations throughout Indianapolis and challenges local leaders to think innovatively and act boldly. The half-day conference will celebrate smart, unique and bold city-building with discussions, presentations and interactive projects." – Thursday August 22, 2013 – http://wearecity.us/
So, if you live or work in/with communities that are far too often traditionally under-represented at these events, if you represent the "priority population" one of those "marginalized communities" which is deemed "hard to reach" you may consider freeing-up your afternoon on the August 22nd. In the same breathe, may I remind the organizers, funders and sponsors of the summit, because there is innovation and creativity with a feel good sense of change that does not inherently translate to progress.
The "We" in We are City is a bold statement that is grounded in the authenticity of community representation at all levels, from all races and backgrounds. However, if the "We" is a reflection of the current planning efforts and initiatives that far too often is built on an illusion of inclusion through buzz feel good language like "transformation", "community" or "creative ways that people engage with cities" then the sponsors, funders and organizers have once again mirrored the "cosmetic diversity" we are all to accustom and taken one more step in widening the gap.
Julianne Maleaux, economist, educator and author expresses it best: "You cannot have an inclusive society unless everyone has access. You cannot exclude people of color from commerce and expect them to be full participants in our economy"
Change does not always equal progress and Progress does not always equal change. However, it is the delicate balance of intentionally marrying both of these, at times competing tensions, which are the central tenets that breathes life into the "We" whether it be an individual, neighborhood, community or City.

An Olympic reality in the wake of a legacy. Part -1
"Inspire a Generation!" was the London 2012 motto. It was everywhere, billboards, buses, cars, the underground (tube) and television commercials. It was powerful enough fuel for the Great Britain (GB) athletes, as evidenced by the most amounts of medals (65) for team GB in 100 years of Olympic Games. With the feats of Jessica Ennis, Mo Farrah's, Gabby Douglas (USA) and other Olympians, their successes will be inspiration for many young men and women for years to come.
Jessica Ennis won the gold in the heptathlon – Mo Farah double Olympic gold medalist and Victoria Pendleton Olympic gold cyclist
For some, the dream will continue with increased training time on the tack, in the pool or in the boxing ring. Their focus will be in stepping-up their dedication with increased execution. For others, a vast majority, the challenges will start with having to navigate their Council Estate's (Projects), more often located in the lowest of income neighborhoods with dodgy dealers, thieves, punters and toe-rags. For these young men and women, their lives are a far cry from Hyde Park, The Mall, Trafalgar Square or Earls Court. It's more like Finsbury Park, Kilburn, Holland Park, Neasden, Stratford, and the likes; the "cobbles" is where their respective futures are being shaped. Much like inner city low-income communities in the United States, the challenges for these neighborhoods at times seem insurmountable appearing to outweigh the allocated resources.
Nearly every city that has served as host to the Olympics has left some sort of legacy. In all cases, the legacies have been paved with good intentions. London's Olympic 2012 project investment was originally estimated to cost $4.8 billion; the final cost was $18 billion dollars. The London Legacy Project:
The construction of five new neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character, will see up to 8,000 homes built-in the Olympic Park by 2030
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will provide an escape with its green, open spaces beside tranquil waterways. Elsewhere will pulsate with a multitude of events. The five world-class venues built specially for the Games, will now be host to local, national and international sporting competitions, concerts, festivals, temporary attractions, installations and more in its many public spaces.
The London Legacy Development Corporation see's employment and business growth as key to the regeneration of east London. To deliver this, they intend to promote high-quality education and job training opportunities; making sure they meet employers' workforce requirements. This will allow unemployed local residents the opportunity to access jobs throughout the Park.
Development plans include 1.3 million square feet of housing, 480,000 square feet of office space and 200,000 square feet of hotels, shops, a health center, community centre, nursery school, gym and parking.
The Athletes' Village at Stratford will be retro-fitted to create nearly 3,000 new homes after the 2012 Olympics
The final result is a complete reshaping of the East End. Winning an Olympic bid was both huge and historic for London and Great Britain. Serving as a lasting legacy of English and London pride; where "Club and Country" is as sacred, if not more so, than "God save the Queen". As expected, Brits' and Londoner's alike shined in extending the United Kingdom's hospitality. However, this hospitality maybe considered a new normal for the likes of an Indianapolis, Indiana. London is a City where one's olfactory senses are tantalized with unique scents and your hearing and vision are greeted with varied dialects and appearances of African, South African, East Indian, Eastern European immigrant, Asian, Latino and West Indian culture at every turn. In every pub (bar), bus, tube, newsstand, restaurant, cinema, football (soccer) game, concert and corner store. London, is not short on diversity, in fact it serves as the future of what communities and neighborhoods are to become in United States, including Indianapolis. London's ability to embrace its ethnic and cultural differences as part of the new enhanced British culture, represents the new normal. As such, I find it increasingly difficult to hear this current mantra and position of "art, beauty and nature" from leadership in the fields of philanthropy, economic and community development in Indianapolis; when some of these very organizations in the field continue to plan with a blatant insensitivity to the changing demographics.
"Transformation" seems to be the constant language being used as Indianapolis wrestles through its identity crisis. Yet, the methods used in economic and community development and philanthropy are "transactional"; defined by "asset mapping", "investments" and "asset-based planning"and are devoid of any real transformative and restorative imperatives. In essence, my estimation is there are three significant challenges (assertions) in the current practice of Indianapolis' "theory of change", a) continued planning from a place of cultural tunnel vision, b) cherry-picking of communities and neighborhoods and c) Structural Racism embedded in the process of philanthropic, economic and community development. At a glance, these may seem to be far-reaching assertions but from the various seats on the bus (which I occupy), it cannot be any more glaring. But this paragraph will be expounded upon at a later time, in another blog.
Back to "Inspire a Generation!" For other persons, a vast majority, the challenges start with having to navigate their Council Estate's (the Projects), more often located in the lowest of income neighborhoods with dodgy dealers, thieves, punters and toe-rags.
These concerns and sentiments are echoed by London Funders. In a recent article in The Guardian (August 21st 2012), The Legacy 2013 Fund partnership, whose members include Comic Relief, the Community Development Foundation (CDF) and London Funders network, says "good work is being done on grassroots legacy but the funding will largely run out by 2017". Its answer is a call to the government to commit at least £100m to an independent endowment fund that would provide a lasting source of cash for nationwide sports projects aimed at transforming communities by improving social and physical wellbeing. To focus on sport just for sport's sake is to miss the point, it argues: why limit results to medal tallies when you could also have safer, happier communities, more confident, successful people and all-round better health?
These concerns and sentiments were echoed by London Funders network, whose members include Comic Relief and Community Development Foundation (CDF). In a recent article in The Guardian (August 21st 2012 – Rachel Williams ), The Legacy 2013 Fund partnership and London Funders network agreed "good work is being done on grassroots legacy but the funding will largely run out by 2017". Its answer was a call to the government to commit at least £100 million to an independent endowment fund that would provide a lasting source of cash for nationwide sports projects aimed at transforming communities by improving social and physical wellbeing. To focus on sport just for sport's sake is to miss the point, it argues: "why limit results to medal tallies when you could also have safer, happier communities, more confident successful people and all-round better health?"
CDF's chief executive Alison Seabrooke, "We want to fill the gaps," she says. "There's a lot of noise around the different government departmental provisions in sport and where it's lacking and what it doesn't tackle is the people who aren't sporty, who aren't active. Everything we see is all about sports' outcomes – the number of footballers you produce, or the number of boxers, and the increase in sporting achievement. What we don't look at is sport as a tool for doing other things in the community. We want a fund that will cut across different political cycles that will protect the money and make it work really hard."
The challenges that low-income young males and females of color face in London is no different from any urban or suburban area in the United States. The main distinctive difference seems to be class, especially in the Council Estates (America's equivalent to Public Housing). There is council housing (Flat's & rented houses) available outside of the estates, in middle-income communities, adding to the diverse population representing community. However, even with the vibrant colors that make up London, young men of color (often in the lower-class) are so weighed down by social and psychological deprivation they borough-in rather than dig out. Seeing themselves as the beneficiaries of the London Olympics' Legacy Fund will require more than ambitions of developing a Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park or building a new generation of elite athletes. With an eye on success in Rio in 2016, whether it be London or Indianapolis, there is a need for more tangible imperatives than "art, beauty and nature" in transforming low-income communities. Developments the likes of an Olympic Legacy or Super Bowl Legacy need to reflect the faces and culture of the current residents. Taking into account changing demographics; ensuring long-term employment and stability over gentrification.
London Olympic Legacy Redevelopment Plan
In Ilford, community youth worker Mehbub Ahmed agrees. The 24-year-old runs a non-contact boxing project at Frenford Clubs' Jack Carter centre…"[The government is] only looking for elite athletes and nothing more than that. It's not looking to help the community as a whole. It sees it as more about collecting medals than looking out for where young people are going with their lives."
Whether, Haughville, South Bronx, The East End, Martindale-Brightwood or the barrios of Rio de Janeiro, planning, redevelopment and regeneration must include those who are disenfranchised. There must be clear, honest and authentic dialogue that forces reflection of one's assumptions of a shared vision of community and, what is looks like? Planning investment and attracting assets are central to restoring the economic base of local low-income communities, cities and regions, which makes inclusion an even more vital piece to the redevelopment process. The notion that communities that are "dis-invested" also lack the intellectual capability to grasp the technicalities of community restoration is a sorely perpetuated myth. There is no doubt that the East End will thrive, pockets of Indianapolis will continue to grow, communities will feel safer, school facilities will improve, housing will be created, jobs will increase and some of the local residents will benefit. But to inspire a generation, the next generation needs to continue to see like faces in the process, occupying program manager, project manager, senior or lead planner positions. Being part of the management and executive team, in a manner that is more than "cosmetic diversity." Listening to a radio show about community and economic development a caller by the name of Grandpa said the following; "the recent calls reek of people who are completely cool with gentrification and who see cities as playgrounds instead of what they really are. The hierarchy of America and the world elites laugh at how the people are worried about the look of the city when there are absolutely enormous problems with racism, education, jobs and pollution. Poverty and ignorance are all over the place in every city but hardly ever mentioned. Be careful when you try to make empires places where you can go and play pretend all day."

Carrying-Capacity Launch
Whatever has landed you on my blog page, word of mouth, a shared link, curiosity or just boredom; Welcome! Stay awhile and if so inclined, add to the discourse and share.
I've been toying with the idea of blogging for some time. Contemplating such a committment, I asked the questions: "What will I say? Why will anybody read what I have too say?" However, those were not the real questions causing the struggle. The experience I was struggling with was the feeling of "fear"; the thing that paralyzes us in the most unimaginable way. I always remember the words of my Professor Dr. Grallo, "Push yourself uncomfortably." How can I not? The tensions we are experiencing locally and globally are bearing down: depletion of natural resources, social and economic inequity, global recessions and a trajectory that seems less than promising. "Fear" has a cast of characters including: disparity, unemployment, poverty, greed, racism and inequality. All are co-culprits in the ongoing saga and contention of the human spirit.
The alternate is equally true. There are fears of succeeding. Fear of embracing ones true self. Fear of finding one's authentic swing. Fear of who we really are. These are so far removed from the culture we currently experience; we wonder, where do I fit? Where can I work on my passion? Where can I unleash my creativity and take a risk in a place where they embrace the notion and idea that "it's the hardest conversations that need to be pursued" and "it's only when one leaves their comfort zone, life begins."
Carrying Capacity seeks to attack that "fear". In connecting you to sustainable initiatives and highlighting local and global sustainability efforts, you will come to see and hear success stories of individuals and communities that have been deemed "the hardest to serve."
What is Carrying Capacity?
Carrying Capacity is the population that can be supported indefinitely by its supporting systems.
In ecological terms, the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the size of the population that can be supported indefinitely upon the available resources and services of that ecosystem. Living within the limits of an ecosystem depends on three factors:
the amount of resources available in the ecosystem,
the size of the population, and
the amount of resources each individual is consuming. (Sustainable Measures – West Hartford, CT)
Carrying Capacity was born out of the concept and practical application of Sustainable Development (SD.). According to Wikipedia, Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use, that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come (sometimes taught as ELF environment, Local people, Future). The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
My work for the past 20 yrs has been in the area of sustainability; first in New York City and now in Indianapolis. I am amazed at the efforts that local communities are taking to ensure their sustainability; tending to their individual and collective "carrying-capacity" to create a better life. These efforts were evident in RedHook or Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, East Harlem in Manhattan, the South Bronx or Martindale/Brightwood and Mid-North Quality-of-Life Plan in Indianapolis. These stakeholders continue to draw on one of their most important sustainable assets, their core values.
Carrying-Capacity will showcase stories and conversations that may not make it into the foundation, charitable organization, or corporate report. Many writings may not fit neatly into that quantifiable results-based model.
Carrying-Capacity will share stories of amazing everyday people, activities, new voices and organizations. It will showcase individual and group work in pushing through daily fears, asking critical questions and providing more than a ray of hope. The aim: to bring attention to sustainable opportunities through discourse, networking and action. To move this forward, Carrying Capacity operates from a position that the "idea" and "action" of Change rests in the following belief: "The hardest conversations need to be pursued." Hard conversations require "hard thinking". Throw-in some "hard and respectful modeled discourse" and we start to touch hearts and minds; connecting people around difficult matters that often get in the way of making us better.
Hard Conversations:
Sustainable?
Economic Disparity, Racial Inequality, Failed models of Sustainability, Structural Racism and Community Building, Discrimination, Philanthropy as preservation of wealth; I think you get the point.
Important to this discourse are two important questions: "What is working well?" and "How do we plug-in or create what's needed to fill the void in our individual neighbourhoods, communities, cities and state?" Throughout the country and the globe, there are places having enormous success building community. Cities tackle head-on those questions and become action oriented, producing amazing "change results." Get on board. Decide where you wish to sit in this bus and challenge yourself to the following:
Western Army Officer: "What do you want from me?"
Samurai: "What do you want for yourself?"

The matroid parity problem generalizes both non-bipartite matching and matroid intersection. In general there is no polynomial-time algorithm. However, if the matroid is representable, Lovász found a min-max formula and a polynomial-time algorithm for the unweighted problem. For the weighted problem a polynomial-time algorithm was found only recently. A main part of our seminar presents the recent paper by Iwata and Kobayashi.

Beer By The Bay 2022: All About The Music
The 9th annual Beer By The Bay festival at the Horseshoe Bay Resort was last weekend, and, as usual, featured some very good food and music, along with multiple tents sheltering Texas craft brewers providing samples of their products.
Some of the past BBTB events have included musical acts from genres other than country, but the organizers seem to have given up on musical diversity and gone all in on country…not that there's anything wrong with that, and the thousand or so people who show up every year seem to agree. The event continues to attract excellent musicians from the deep talent pool that is Austin, plus some nationally-known names (Asleep At The Wheel, Leann Rimes, Sara Evans, and Pat Green come to mind).
I did an in-depth review of last year's BBTB, and ended with the affirmation that this year's event would improve on last year's occasionally disappointing production. That turned out to be an accurate prediction.
I'm not going to dwell on the food this time around, as the menu was almost identical to last year's, and quite good. But I will say that the Blond Beer Battered Blondies, despite the naming redundancy, continue to be Awe. Some.
Here's my take on the event's music.
Day One: Friday, August 12
Curtis Grimes was the opening act on Friday evening. Grimes is a young and personable singer and song writer backed by a solid group of musicians. According to his website, he was a Top 8 finalist in Season 1 of The Voice (coached by the classic country artist CeeLo Green), and later was named "Entertainer of the Year" by the Texas Country Music Association. He has also been named Texas "Christian Country Artist of the Year," and several of his songs, as well as his monologues during his performance gave ample support to for that recognition.
Curtis Grimes onstage; I don't know the Massive Headed Guy.
Grimes & Co. put on a lively and entertaining show, despite the 97º temperatures (I was amazed that the drummer didn't pass out by the end of the set).
The following act was one that is familiar to anyone with the slightest interest in the Texas country music scene…and especially those around Austin (the band appears regularly at The Continental Club). Dale Watson has been a classic honky-tonk musician for more than 20 years, and has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The David Letterman Show, Austin City Limits, and National Public Radio's All Things Considered.
Dale Watson and the Lone Stars
Appearance-wise, Watson is a cross between Billy Idol and Conway Twitty and his ongoing schtick through a performance is a pitch for the wonders of Lone Star beer, the "National Beer of Texas" as he put it, and a nod to his band's name. We couldn't help wondering how the craft brewers at the festival felt about his praise of a decidedly non-craft beer.
Watson's performance was a polished and pleasing mixture of classic country, rockabilly, and Texas blues, and it was our favorite act of the evening. He's a gifted vocalist and can absolutely shred that Fender Telecaster. (His sentimental favorite, a 30-year-old custom Telecaster-style Tomkins, was recently stolen in Houston.)
The headliner of the evening was Lauren Alaina who, frankly, we knew almost nothing about, despite a plethora of appearance on national TV and the recipient of multiple music awards since her runner-up appearance on American Idol in 2011. We were apparently in the minority, judging by the enthusiastic crowd standing in front of the stage for the entire performance (I assume; see below).
Lauren Alaina & Co.
As one might expect, her act was polished and highly-scripted…every gesture seemed so natural that it was obviously practiced. Her voice is powerful (occasionally reminded me of Miranda Lambert) and her songs were mostly country-pop-ish (not that there's anything wrong with that…I prefer that to the bro-country style that permeates current country radio). The highlight for us — which also served to highlight our age — was her arrangement of King Harvest's Dancing In The Moonlight, but which she had converted to a country genre by dropping the first "g" in favor of a " ' ", because all of us in flyover country never pronounce a trailing "g." But, the song was fun.
To be honest, after about 45 minutes the songs started to sound alike, which might have been a function of my approaching bed time, so we headed for home.
Day Two: Saturday, August 13
It was another hot and sticky August evening…98º at 7:00 when Kate Watson (no relation to Dale, AFAIK) took the stage. She's a Texas native and another American Idol veteran (2019). And, like Curtis Grimes, she's a Christian and continues to sing at the largest cowboy church in the world, located in Montgomery, Texas.
Kate Watson. I have boots just like that.
Watson's voice is plenty strong and she's backed by some excellent musicians (the guitarists who are reading this are invited to enlighten me as to what the heck is going on with the lead guy's instrument, though), but her songs were not our cup o'tea. She spent way too much time explaining what they mean to her, and maybe more time than was wise promoting herself (she never introduced her bandmates), but she's young and has time to mature in those areas.
Next up was Texas Hill, a relatively new act (formed in 2020) and yet another that made its way to us via American Idol and The Voice, albeit not as its current configuration as a trio. Two of the three are Texans — DFW Metroplex, to be more precise — and you might think they are the source of the group's name, but it actually came from the road where the third member grew up in rural New Hampshire (!): Texas Hill Road.
Texas Hill onstage. These guys rock.
We didn't know what to expect from these guys, but it would be an understatement to say we were impressed. The three leads could successfully front their own bands, but in combination, they're a powerhouse. They're all over the map in terms of musical genres…classic country, straight ahead rock, blues, jazz, and even edging into pop. They were Debbie's favorite group of the weekend, and tied with Dale Watson for my top pick. If you get a chance to see them in person, I recommend taking it.
Saturday night's headliner was arguably the most well-known of the entire lineup, as you might expect. Joe Nichols — a multiple Grammy nominee and ACM & CMA award winner — has been churning out hits for almost twenty years (and might be best known for Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off, a tender cautionary tale about the dangers of spilling alcohol on a Barbie doll, although I might have misheard the lyrics).
Joe Nichols and band w/hidden drummer
This was our second time to catch Nichols's act, the first being a decade or so ago at an American Cancer Society fundraiser in Midland, Texas. I came away from that performance thinking "gee, that guy sure spends a lot of time in the weight room for a musician."
Nichols puts out a Matthew McConaughey vibe (he's only seven years younger than MM), and has a great stage presence — has just the right balance of self-deprecating humor and swagger. The band is just as tight as you would expect, and their music was a nice balance of his old and new songs, plus some classic covers (Merle Haggard and Alan Jackson).
As is our habit, as old people not wanting to contend with the traffic, we left a bit before the end of the set, and I assume we missed his Tequila song. But strictly as a Public Service (we're all about public service here at the Gazette), below is Nichols's original video of this song. [Note: The editors of the Gazette wish to express their deep disapproval of the voyeuristic depiction of nubile females in this video.] [Note #2: The rest of the Gazette staff wish the editors would shut up.]
In summary, the musical portion of BBTB 2022 was an improvement over the previous year, and we enjoyed hearing some new acts. Next year will be the tenth anniversary and the organizers are already teasing us with their plans…we look forward to seeing what's to come.

Let Roy Chubby Brown perform
Free speech is for jowly, unlettered grotesques, too.
Topics Culture Free Speech Identity Politics Politics UK
Even the fiercest defender of free speech – and I am a self-confessed absolutist on the issue, to the extent of positively reviewing notorious gender-critical transphobe and self-hating gay Andrew Doyle's swivel-eyed screed on the subject; and further, amplifying the notorious John Stuart Mill's views on the desirability of actively encouraging heretical views just for the sheer bracing hell of it – hesitates to rush to the defence of Roy Chubby Brown.
We would all wish for a nobler bronze to gather around, a less motley flag to fly. Perhaps a hero in the Slavic mode, a high-cheek-boned dissident, intelligent, watchful eyes a-glint under craggy brows in a weary, lined face, a shabby, elbow-patched corduroy jacket hanging from all but broken shoulders – one who had faced down the tanks and heard the midnight knock. Or, perhaps, an almost aristocratic beauty of Somalian ancestry, an apostate of a jealous faith, for whose favour any of us would willingly joust with dragons.
However, all we have, as Gandalf sorrowfully reminded his Halfling ring-mule, is to decide what to do with the time that is given us. And in Britain today, the chiselled Slavs and photogenic Somalis give every appearance of being able to look out for themselves. It is the jowly, unlettered grotesques, the proudly Fat Bastards like Chubby Brown, that need us to raise our standard, and defend his audience's right to lower theirs.
Roy Chubby Brown. A man who wouldn't know Havel's greengrocer from an all-night convenience store, which he'd describe in language that would get him banned from the BBC before he got to the third syllable. A man who looks like a stuffed parrot made out of showroom bunting in some sort of rehabilitative craft therapy group. A man whom O'Brien could persuade that 2 + 2 = 5 on purely arithmetical grounds. This is the current test case of our determination to remain a free people. No use whining. You have to play the hand you are given.
In case you missed it, the latest outrage to be meted out to this strange, colourful yet bedraggled figure, is to be banned from performing his live show at Sheffield City Hall, because his comedy does not 'reflect Sheffield's inclusive values' – a city that nevertheless seems to contain a constituency keen enough to come along and be appalled by Brown, so that market forces alone are not enough to preclude his getting booked.
I have never seen a Chubby live show – neither in the flesh nor on one of the DVDs that still change hands, with barely less furtive urgency than those that accompany the drug deals regularly caught on camera, in a Sheffield you might think has more urgent issues on its hands than assessing popular stand-up comedy shows for inclusivity.
I have seen a few clips. I did not find them funny. I've nothing against robust humour – I still find plenty of Bernard Manning funny, and no, it's not just his 'timing', it's his jokes. Many of which are now retooled and retold – against themselves – by comedians of the very ethnicities that used to come in for their share of his withering contempt. Good for them. But when it comes to Chubby, I just don't find him very funny.
But – despite my having given this issue, I am willing to bet, considerably more thought over the past 30 years or so than Sheffield councillor Terry Fox before he damned Brown with a spot – that's just me.
That really is all you can say about it. Few things arouse such strong emotions as the unaccountable success of a comedian we don't like – people are far more infuriated by the success of Michael McIntyre than they are that of Ed Sheeran. But every attempt to explain why, to build some solid fundamental basis for these views, invariably lands like trifle on a gravel drive. Comedy is the very essence of subjectivity.
I'm writing this, as I often do when on tour, in a Wetherspoons, not in Sheffield but in Banbury, which I expect a lot of people who haven't been here imagine is terribly middle class and twee. Well, it's not, not in here at any rate. But despite being in my experience friendly, reliable and astonishingly good value, there are plenty of people who would happily see every Wetherspoons in the country swept into the sea for having an owner who noisily supported Brexit.
No doubt, deep in the danker corners of certain municipal minds, Wetherspoons also fails to reflect the inclusive values of their city. Although whenever I go into one, I see the sort of people who I rather think really have been gradually excluded from more and more of modern Britain. They don't seem to care though, and at these prices, who can blame them?
Many of the people in here, I'd wager, would be more than capable of watching a full-length show of Stewart Lee on, say, the BBC without feeling the briefest of upward tugs on the corners of their mouths. They might sense that when he says that not everyone who voted for Brexit was a racist – that some of them were just cunts – that he is referring to them, or their mums and dads. But much of the rest of it would mean nothing to them at all. And for what it's worth, I doubt my live work would fare much better with them, either. But would any of them seek to have Lee banned, for not 'including' them? Would they even petition the BBC not to spend their money on him? I don't think so. I think they'd shrug it off, and have another pint.
Chubby though, I suspect, might give them a bit of a laugh – a laugh I can't help feeling they deserve as much as the social-media editor at the Guardian does.
Even Big Brother knew that you leave the proles to their fun. I have no greater hope of their rising up, of insurrection, than O'Brien expressed, when disabusing Winston of that fantasy. But to borrow a phrase from the even greater fantasy, that of progress – we should do it, because it's the right thing to do.

Suboxone is a prescription medication used to treat symptoms associated with an opiate addiction. Suboxone is a partial opiate agonist, which means it contains a controlled amount of opiates to help ease painful withdrawal symptoms associated with long term opiate abuse. Suboxone, also known as Subutex, contains buprenorphine and naxalone which works to block any existing opiates that may be in your body. Suboxone treatment is often administered in an controlled outpatient setting and is usually combined with other effective treatment methods such as behavioral therapy and addiction counseling. Suboxone can only be prescribed by a doctor who is legally authorized by the SAHHSA to administer suboxone.
While suboxone is widely used for the treatment of heroin addictions, they are just as effective for addictions to opiate based prescription drugs like Oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, percocet, Vicodin and morphine. Many people may not realize but powerful pain relieving prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, and Vicodin can be just as addictive as powerful drugs like heroin and cocaine, and can cause physical and psychological dependence after long term use. Suboxone treatments are an effective solution for any opiate based prescription drug addiction and have helped many patients weather the storm during tough opiate withdrawal episodes.
Suboxone is only effective on opiate based drugs, and is not effective for addictions to cocaine, crystal meth, marijuana, or other non-opiate based prescription pills. Suboxone combined with any of these other drugs can be very dangerous, especially when combined with methamphetamines. Mixing Suboxone with cocaine can put a large stress on the body and can increase the risk of sudden heart failure. There also have been several documented deaths due to combining suboxone with other stimulants such as alcohol, xanax, valium, ambien, ect.
Suboxone is a powerful drug and should only be taking under the supervision of a licensed medical professional.


Poverty, amorphous mishmash of images tangled in my brain, synapses that over-fire, dendrites of my nervous system. Why would I want to disentangle and examine? Because someone asked me to: Poverty.
Forty years ago living with cockroaches who seem really fast and really smart. One waves its tentacle (at me) freaks me out because I can see there is intelligence there. It wants what I want. To be left alone. To survive.
No light in the refrigerator.
And nothing in said refrigerator, just gray steel rungs and an icebox that needs defrosting.
Nothing in the narrow yellow kitchen cupboard.
Not even the heel of the proverbial loaf of bread.
But I have a library card.
so I don't go to school for a week because am ashamed.
By the next week I'm over it.
No car. Walk everywhere or I take the bus.
No Girl Scouts or family picnics. Or summer camp.
No going to the movie theater. But there's television until the tube burns out.
I never see a doctor.
I never see a dentist.
so I can get eyeglasses to see the chalkboard.
the floorspace. Then I sleep on the couch.
No warm coat. Hand me down coat from a cousin.
I wear sneakers all the time.
They get soaked in the rain.
I'm used to being cold.
But there is love and the ocean so close to my door.
teach me I will never drown.
as the kitchen cockroach, but with no fear.
where true poverty resides. And it is not here. Not with me.
Lisa,your words always touch me to tears.
You are one of the richest people I know. Your soul sings.
This is beautiful and I felt it deeply. Thank you.
Lisa, for anyone who has known poverty, you've nailed it. For those who don't, you've opened a window on life. Not many people can do that with so few words. Thank you for sharing your beautifully guarded flame.
Your poem is beautiful, and painful, and hopeful, and touches me deeply.

Thai Kitchen Brings Top-Notch Thai Classics to Florissant
By Cheryl Baehr on Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 6:54 am
CHERYL BAEHR
Thai Kitchen is now serving authentic Thai food in Florissant.
If Florissant is not on your radar for outstanding Thai cuisine, Thai Kitchen (8458 N. Lindbergh Boulevard, Florissant; 314-695-5039) is about to change that.
Fans of owner Andie Ongartsutthikue's cooking — and there are quite a few — might recognize the restaurant's name; the not-quite two month-old spot is the second location of a popular O'Fallon eatery. For five years, Ongartsutthikue has been offering her family's recipes for delectable Thai dishes to the diners of St. Charles County. Last fall, she decided to expand, opening the Florissant outpost in a strip mall on North Highway 67 in late November.
Ongartsutthikue's daughter, Nickie Hill, attributes her mom's loyal following to several factors. First, she uses the same recipes passed down several generations in their family — they are tried, true and as traditional as it gets in the middle of the Midwest. Second, Ongartsutthikue is no stranger to the restaurant business, having owned two restaurants in her native Thailand before immigrating to the U.S. twenty years ago. When she arrived stateside, she continued to work in the restaurant business before branching out on her own a little over five years ago.
Hill notes another factor that makes Ongartsutthikue's cooking stand out: Her mother's commitment to using only the highest quality proteins and produce. That fact is notable in her elegant dishes, like the nam tok beef, which offers meat of the same high quality you'd find in an upscale steakhouse. Caramelized hunks of tender steak are gilded with a vibrant chile lime sauce and tossed with cilantro, and red and green onion.
Nam tok.
Thai Kitchen's khao soi, the northern Thai yellow curry and noodle soup, is a vibrant bowl of pickled vegetables, meat, fresh herbs, soft rice noodles and a crispy rice noodle garnish whose beautiful presentation bespeaks layers of warm, mouthwatering flavor. Ongartsuttsikue's version packs quite a kick of heat that sneaks up on you after a few bites and then lingers. It's revelatory.
Look for a comprehensive menu of Thai specialties, from chicken satay to larb gai to pad Thai and a variety of curries. Though the dishes may look familiar to fans of Thai cuisine, their quality makes them anything but ordinary. It's unexpected, especially from an unassuming storefront in the middle of a strip mall.
Thai Kitchen is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon until 9 p.m. The restaurant does not currently offer alcohol, though a liquor license is in the works.

Morocco was accused by the Polisario Front of violating a 1991 ceasefire agreement by sending troops into the Western Sahara. The King of Morocco, King Mohammed Vl, made a speech on 21 August urging Moroccans abroad to defend and uphold a tolerant version of Islam. The President of the Moroccan National Olympic Committee, Hosni Benslimane, called a meeting of the country's sporting commission leaders on 29 August to discuss Morocco's poor performance at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Morocco agreed to support Niger in its military campaign against Boko Haram on 1 August. The Moroccan Interior Ministry announced on 16 August that it had dismantled another Islamic State (IS) cell. Morocco's Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has ordered all Moroccan security officers to be retrained in firearms techniques. The Polisario Front moved 200 armed troops into the buffer zone between Morocco and Mauritania on 28 August. United States (US) defence company Raytheon won a contract to supply optically tracked wire-guided (TOW) missiles to Morocco. Morocco will play host to a new arms manufacturing plant run jointly by British firm Chemring Military Products (CMP) and Belgian company Mecar. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Morocco fell by 34.9 per cent to MAD 12.3 billion in the first half of 2016. The number of Russian tourists visiting Morocco saw a 280 per cent increase in the first half of 2016, according to the Moroccan Regional Council of Tourism (CRT).


Enjoy Permanent Residency in an EU country when you buy your dream home in Cyprus. Fulfilling your dream of an EU lifestyle has just been made possible by the Cyprus Government, which has recently announced that non-EU citizens making a minimum investment of 300,000 Euros in property on the island, subject to certain requirements, will be granted permanent residency through a special immigration visa. Quite simply, this means you will be able to enjoy the same advantages as everyone else in Cyprus without having to apply for any permits or renewals.
Cyprus is already renowned as the perfect place to live with its almost year-round sunshine, a relaxed, stress-free lifestyle and a very low crime rate. Cyprus offers an ideal family environment, with your children able to benefit from excellent schools and universities, while healthcare and infrastructure are all state-of-the-art. The island also enjoys a favourable reputation as in International business centre & gateway to the EU. Many international companies operate offices in Cyprus. Opening a company couldn't be easier with low personal & business taxation plus the added benefit of tax treaties with numerous other countries.
A permanent residence permit can be obtained through purchasing property in Cyprus (fast track or normal option outlined below :).
Cyprus permanent residency scheme has attracted over one billion Euro investments in Cyprus during the last 15 months, Minister of Interior has revealed.
In line with the Cyprus government's objective to attract international investments, the Ministry of Interior has recently simplified the procedure for issuing permanent residence permits to Non EU citizens who wish to invest in Cyprus.
Acquire new residential premises in Cyprus of a minimum value EUR 300K (excluding VAT).
Maintain secured annual income originating from abroad of at least EUR 30K. For each dependent person added to the application for permanent residency (such as wife and children), the minimum amount of the secured annual income is increased by EUR 5K. The income may be from overseas employment, pensions, interest on fixed deposits or rents from abroad. Exceptionally (for the fast track permanent residency applications), it is also possible for the income to be derived from dividends of a Cyprus company. It is important to note that employment in Cyprus is prohibited for this type of permit application.
An initial payment of at least EUR 200K (excluding VAT) for the residential property to be purchased is required to have been paid by the date of filing of the application.
A confirmation letter from a Cyprus bank where the fixed deposit of EUR 30K is maintained, indicating the amount is pledged with the bank for a minimum of 3 years. Proof is also required that funds were legally transferred to Cyprus from abroad.
A clean criminal record certificate issued by the applicant's country of origin.
A statement/affidavit confirming that the applicant has no intention to work or be engaged in any form of business in Cyprus.
The applicant must visit Cyprus at least once every two years.
No sanction order to have been issued against him/her or any dependent.
Please note that holders of a permanent residency permit are not permitted to work in Cyprus. Therefore, the resident's income can not emanate from employment, business or trading in Cyprus, but may emanate from dividends received from a Cyprus company, from entities abroad, salaries from employment outside Cyprus, pensions, or rents transferred from abroad.
Minimum annual secured income of approximately EUR 40,000 from sources outside of Cyprus (increased by approximately EUR 5,000 per dependent).
Income is secure and provides stable support for the applicant and their family in the long run (including supporting evidence that all financial needs of the family are adequately covered).
No sanction order to have been made against applicant or any dependents.
Once the completed application has been submitted to the authorities, a decision is reached within 7 to 9 months.
The Ministry of Interior has the power to grant a certificate of naturalization, upon application by an alien who fulfils certain criteria (special circumstances) for naturalization. The time frame for the examination of the application by the Ministry of Interior is approximately three (3) months. As soon as the applicant, to whom the Certificate of naturalization is granted, makes, under oath, an official declaration of faith to the Republic of Cyprus, he becomes a citizen of the Republic by naturalization.
The relevant laws of the Republic of Cyprus provide investors/entrepreneurs an excellent opportunity to obtain Cypriot citizenship by investing in the Cyprus economy. Many investors/entrepreneurs consider obtaining the Cypriot citizenship in order to enjoy the advantages of being a Cypriot citizen. Such advantages may include free movement within countries of the European Union, the geographical location of Cyprus, excellent climate, low corporate tax rates and/or numerous double tax treaties that Cyprus has concluded with other countries that offer tremendous possibilities for international tax planning through Cyprus.
A non-Cypriot citizen, who meets one of the following economic criteria, either personally or via a company/companies in which he/she participates as a shareholder, or even as a high-ranking senior manager of a company/companies that meets one of economic criteria, may apply for obtaining the Cypriot citizenship through naturalization by exception.
A high-ranking senior manager may apply, provided that he/she receives such a remuneration that generates for the Republic of Cyprus, tax revenue amounting to at least € 100,000 for a three year period. This tax must have already been paid or prepaid. The applicant should have concluded the necessary investments during the three years preceding the date of the application and must retain the said investments for a period of at least three years from the date of naturalization.
The applicant must have purchased financial assets of Cypriot companies or Cypriot organisations (for example, bonds, securities or debentures registered and issued in the Republic of Cyprus) of at least €5 million. It is noted that these financial assets can be purchased either at issuance, or subsequently by the market.
The applicant must have invested at least €5 million (VAT is not included) to purchase real estate or construction of real estate or creation of other developments (for example houses, offices, shops, hotels etc or a development of a similar nature). Purchase of land is not included in this criterion.
The applicant has incurred impairment in deposits amounting to a total of at least €3 million. In the case where the applicant has incurred impairment in his deposits which is lower than €3 million he may still apply for Cypriot citizenship provided that he additionally invests the remaining amount in any one of Criterion I until Criterion 5 as set out above.
(a) €2.5 million for investors who evidently participate in collective investment plans, provided that the investment is at least €12.5 million.
(b) €2 million for investors who evidently participate in collective investment plans, provided that the collective investment is beyond €12.5 million. This provision is only valid until 01/06/2014.
Criminal Record and Confirmation: A clean Criminal Record from the country of origin and/or from the Cyprus Police. In addition, a confirmation is required indicating that the applicant's name is not included in the list of persons whose property is ordered to be frozen and/or blocked within the European Union.
Residence in the Republic of Cyprus: The applicant is required to have a permanent privately — owned residence in the Republic of Cyprus, the value of which must be at least €500.000 (plus VAT) at current prices. The purchase value of the privately - owned residence of the applicant is not included in the minimum investment which is required for the submission of the application, but rather it is additional. However, if the applicant decides to invest solely in the purchase of a privately — owned residence of a purchase price of at least €5 million (Criterion 3) or of at least €2.5 million (Criterion 8(b)), the applicant is not obliged to buy another privately—owned residence worth at least €500.000 (plus VAT).

Zimmers Hole: When You Were Shouting At the Devil...We Were in League With Satan
Attention all Strapping Young Lad fans! Tired of mourning the demise or extended hiatus of your favorite extreme metal band (no word from Devin Townsend yet on what the final result is) and looking for something to scratch that all too familiar itch? Well, you've come to the right place. Zimmers Hole is basically 3/4 of Strapping Young Lad, the long time side project of SYL's Jed Simon (guitar) and Byron Stroud (bass), who have brought along pal Gene Hoglan (drums) for the ride here, along with recurring vocalist Stan AKA The Heathen (real name Chris Valagao). Basically, if you like the formula on SYL's Alien, or The New Black, chances are you will fall right in love with this 'out of control' third release from Zimmers Hole. Musically, not much is different here, as the band combine death metal, industrial, thrash, and grindcore styles, throw in some over-the-top vocals from The Heathen, as well as some rather silly lyrics, for a formula that is pure aggression & testosterone filled from start to finish. Old mate Devin produced the vocals here, and his influence is all over The Heathen's wild mix of screams, growls, and maniacal reverberations. He does a good job trying to outdo King Diamond on the heavy "Flight of the Knight Bat", covers all of Townsend's tricks on "We Rule the Fucking Land", and lets it all hang loose on the catchy yet violent title track (come on, you just gotta love the title "When You Were Shouting at the Devill... We Were in League with Satan"!). Musically, this thing is absolutely top-notch, with Simon's riffs razor sharp and brutal (and there's a hell of a lot more solos on this record, something we don't get enough of on SYL releases), Stroud's bass grooves massive, and the always entertaining drum clinic from the legend Hoglan.
Other highlights include the Southern stomp of "The Devils Mouth", the Dethklok tribute on "Vowel Song", the grinding mix of death metal with vintage Skid Row on "Fista Corps", the hilarious homage to power metal (Manowar, you listening?) that is " Hair Doesn't Grow on Steel" , and the crusing extreme metal epic "What's My Name...Evil!". As intense as this release is, ultimately When You Were Shouting At the Devil...We Were in League With Satan is a freakin' riot, a CD that you can listen to over and over again and enjoy it more and more each time. No doubt the band had a blast making this pummeling slice 'o' metal, so crank it up, crack open a beer, do some headbanging, but most importantly have some fun with it.

<T></T></TABLE>A $1 million-a-year phone-order cocaine ring that used pop music terms as code words was smashed after a nine-month investigation into the southeast Queens operation, authorities said yesterday.
The operation was run out of three homes in Hollis, Springfield Gardens and Rosedale by drug dealers who used the phrases "R&B" and "hip-hop" to indicate what type of drugs they were selling, authorities said.
"Cocaine would be offered in coded language, with 'R&B' used as a reference for soft, powdered cocaine, as opposed to 'hip-hop,' which would be a reference to hard, or crack, cocaine," Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
"Once the orders were placed, the defendants would allegedly deliver the cocaine to their customers at an agreed upon location," which included public parks or parking lots of places such as the Kentucky Fried Chicken eatery at Baisley and Merrick Blvds. in Jamaica, Brown said.
Many of the "customers" were minor cocaine dealers who resold the drugs, prosecutors allege.
Police allegedly recovered $7,000 in cash, $125,000 worth of cocaine, a .380 automatic handgun and 42 Ziploc bags containing $20 of crack cocaine each during searches conducted earlier this week.
Cops arrested alleged ringleader Shawn (Snaggs) Williams of Springfield Gardens. He was charged with first-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and other charges.
Williams, who faces up to 24 years in prison, was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court Wednesday night and ordered held without bail.
Two others, Karl (Shorts) Bryant, 26, of Hollis, and Jahmel (Mel) Holland, 24, of Rosedale, are at large.

Q: encrypted data send from laravel to angular with cryptoJS I try to sending encryted data from laravel API to Angular 9.
I can encrypt the data with Crypt::encrypt in Laravel like that:
$to_email = $request->email;
        $dataToEncrypt = "id_ent=" . $request->ent_id . "&id_agenda=" . $request->agenda_id;
        $dataEncrypted = Crypt::encrypt($dataToEncrypt);
        $data = array('link' =>

        "http://localhost:4200/registerUser?d=" . $dataEncrypted);

        Mail::send('mailRegistrationUser', $data, function ($message) use ($to_email) {
            $message->to($to_email)
                ->subject('Créer votre compte !');

            $message->from('contact@test.com', 'Création de votre compte');
        });

I share the APP_KEY between front and back so they have the same key.
Everything going well and I can recover the data in my angular app like that :
 getEncryptedData() {
    this.encryptedData = this.route.snapshot.queryParamMap.get('d');
    if (this.encryptedData === null) {
      this.router.navigate(['/inscription']);
    }
    this.decryptedData = this.cryptoService.get(this.encryptedData);
    console.log(this.decryptedData);
  }

Unfortunatly, the following method :
this.cryptoService.get(this.encryptedData);

return a empty string...
Here the method in the service :

keys = '123abc'; //this is a exemple. I use de key from laravel...

get(value) {
    let key = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse(this.keys);
    let iv = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse(this.keys);
    let decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(value, key,
      {
      keySize: 128 / 8,
      iv: iv,
      mode: CryptoJS.mode.CBC,
      padding: CryptoJS.pad.Pkcs7
    }
    );

    return decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
  }

If someone have a idea...
