All About Sikhs: Historical Events
Anandpur Sahib Resolution, a frequently invoked document of modern Sikhism pronouncing its religious rule as well as its political goal. After having enjoyed power under chief ministers, Gurnam Singh and Parkash Singh Badal in the Punjab, newly demarcated in 1966, Sikhs are represented by their premier political party, the Shiromani Akali Dal, were able to capture only one seat at the elections to Indian parliament (1971) from among the 13 which were Punjab's portion. In the Punjab Assembly elections which took place in March 1972 their tally was a mere 24 seats of a total of 117, and the Punjab Government passed in to the hands of the Congress Party, with Giani Zail Singh (later, President of India) as chief minister. This electoral debacle led to self introspection on the part of the Shiromani Akali Dal which appointed on 11 December, 1972, a sub-committee to reflect upon the situation and to proclaim afresh the programme and polices of the Dal. The 12 member committee consisted of Surjit Singh Barnala, Gurcharan Singh Tohra, Jiwan Singh Umranangal, Gurmeet Singh, Dr. Bhagat Singh, Balwant Singh, Gian Singh Rarewala, Amar Singh Ambalavi, Prem Singh Lalpura, Jaswinder Singh Brar, Bhag Singh, and Major General Gurbakhsh Singh of Badhani. The first meeting of the sub-committee took place at Amritsar. The venue then shifted to Chandigarh where the committee completed its task in ten successive meetings. Counsel was available to the sub-committee of the celebrated Sikh intellectual and thinker, Sirdar Kapur Singh, whose impress the draft emerging finally from its deliberations carried. The document was adopted unanimously by the working committee of the Shiromani Akali Dal at a meeting held at Anandpur Sahib, town sacred to Guru Gobind Singh, also reverenced by Sikhs as the birth place of the Khalsa. Since it was adopted at Anandpur Sahib (October 16-17, 1973) the resolution came to be known as the Anandpur Sahib Resolution. It was endorsed in the form of a succession of resolutions at the 18th All India Akali Conference of the Shiromani Akali Dal at Ludhiana on 28-29 October, 1978. An English version of the resolution is quoted below :
Whereas, the Sikhs of India are a historically recognized political nation ever since the inauguration of the Khalsa, in AD 1699, and
Whereas, this status of the Sikh nation had been internationally recognized and accepted by the major powers of Europe and Asia, viz. France, England, Italy, Russia, China, Persia (now Iran), Afghanistan, Nepal, and the Company Bahadur, Fort William, Calcutta, till the middle of the 19th century, and again by the outgoing British as well as by the Hindu-dominated Congress and the Muslim League of India in the middle of the 20th century, and
Whereas, the brute majority in India, in 1950, imposed a constitutional arrangement in India which denied the Sikhs of their political identity and cultural popularity, thus liquidating the Sikhs politically and exposing them to spiritual death and cultural decay leading inevitable to their submergence and dissolution into the saltish sea waters of incoherent Hinduism, and
Whereas, the Sikhs have been thus shackled and enslaved in unethical and cynical repudiation of solemn and binding commitment and public promises earlier made to the Sikhs, while the Sikh representation in the Indian Constituent Assembly, in 1950, refused to affix their signatures to the official copy of the Indian Constitutional Act thus promulgated, the Shiromani Akali Dal in the name and on behalf of the Sikhs proclaims that the Sikhs are determined, by all legitimate means, to extricate and free themselves from this degrading and death dealing situation so as to ensure firmly their honorable survival and salvage their inherent dignity within India and their birthright to influence meaningfully the mainstream of world history. The Sikhs therefore demand, firstly, that an autonomous region in the north of India should be set up forthwith wherein the Sikh interests are constitutionally recognized as the fundamental State policy. Secondly, that this autonomous region includes the present Punjab, Karnal and Ambala districts of Haryana, inclusive of Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Pinjore, Kalka, Dalhousie, Nalagarh Desh, Siraa, Guhla and Ratia areas and Ganganagar district of Rajasthan, thus bringing main contiguous Sikh population and Sikh habitats with this autonomous Sikh region as an integral part of the Union of India, and, thirdly, this Sikh autonomous region may be declared as entitled to frame its own internal constitutions on the basis of having all powers to and for itself except Foreign Relations, Defense, Currency and General Communications which will remain subjects within the jurisdiction of the Federal Indian Government.
A. BASIC POSTULATES
1. The Shiromani Akali Dal is the very embodiment of the hopes and aspirations of the Sikhs and as such is fully entitled to its representation. The basic postulates of this organization are human co-existence, human welfare and the ultimate unity of all human beings with the Lord.
2. These postulates are based upon the three great principles of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, namely Nam Japo, Kirat Karo, and Vand Chhako, i.e. meditation on God's Name, honest labor, and sharing the fruits of this labor with the needy.
B. PURPOSES
The Shiromani Akali Dal shall ever strive to achieve the following aims:
1. Propagation of Sikhism, its ethical values and code of conduct to combat atheism.
2. Preservation and keeping alive the concept of distinct and sovereign identity of the Panth and building up of appropriate condition in which the national sentiments and aspirations of the Sikh Panth will find full expression, satisfaction and facilities for growth.
3. Eradication of poverty and starvation through increased production and more equitable distribution of wealth as also the establishment of a just social order sans exploitation of any kind.
4. Vacation of discrimination on the basis of caste, creed or any other ground in keeping with basic principles of Sikhism.
5. Removal of disease and ill health, checking the use of intoxicants and provision of full facilities for the growth of physical well-being so as to prepare and enthuse the Sikh Nation for the national defense. For the achievement of the aforesaid purposes, the Shiromani Akali Dal owned it as its primary duty to inculcate among the Sikh religious fervour and a sense of pride in their great socio-spiritual heritage through the following measures:
1. Reiteration of the concept of unity of God, meditation on His Name, recitation of gurbani, inculcation of faith in the holy Sikh Gurus as well as in Guru Granth Sahib and other appropriate measures for such a purpose.
2. Grooming at the Sikh Missionary College the Sikh youth with inherent potential to become accomplished preachers, ragis, dhadis and poets so that the propagation of Sikhism, its tenets and traditions and its basic religious values could be taken up more effectively and vigorously.
3. Baptizing the Sikhs on a mass scale with particular emphasis on schools and colleges wherein the teachers as well as the taught shall be enthused through regular study circles.
4. Revival of the religious institution of dasvandh among the Sikhs.
5. Generating a feeling of respect for Sikh intellectuals including writers and preachers, who also would be enthused to improve upon their accomplishments.
6. Streamlining the administration of the gurdwaras by giving better training to their workers. Appropriate steps would also be taken to maintain gurdwara building in proper condition. The representatives of the party in the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee would be directed to pull their weight towards these ends.
6. Making suitable arrangements for error free publications of gurbani, promoting research in the ancient and modern Sikh history, translating holy gurbani into other languages and producing first-rate literature on Sikhism.
7. Taking appropriate measures for the enactment of an All India Gurdwaras Act with a view to improving the administration of the gurdwaras throughout the country and to reintegrate the traditional preaching sects of Sikhism like Udasis and Nirmalas, without in any way encroaching upon the properties of their maths.
8. Taking necessary steps to bring the Sikh gurdwaras all over the world under a single system of administration with a view to running them according to the basic Sikh forms and to pool their resources for the propagation of Sikhism on a wider and more impressive scale.
9. Striving to free access to all those holy Sikh shrines, including Nanakana Sahib, form which the Sikh Panth has been separated, for their pilgrimage and proper upkeep.
POLITICAL GOAL
The political goal of the Panth, with any doubt, is enshrined in the Commandments of the Tenth Lord, in the pages of Sikh history and in the very hear of the Khalsa Panth, the ultimate aim of with is the pre-eminence of the Khalsa (KHALSA JI KE BOL BALE).
The fundamental policy of the Shiromani Akali Dal is to seek the realization of this birthright of the Khalsa through the creating of a geographical entity and a constitutional set-up of its own.
For the attainment of this aim:
1. The Shiromani Akali Dal is determined to strive by all possible means to:
(a) Have all those speaking areas, deliberately kept out of Punjab, such as Dalhousie in Gurdaspur district, Chandigarh, Pinjore, Kalka and Ambala Sada, etc. in Ambala district, the entire Ina tahsil of Hoshiarpur district, Shahabad and Guhia blocks of Karnal district, Tohana sub-tahsil, Ratia block and Sirsa tahsil of Hissar district and six tahsils of Ganganagar district in Rajasthan, merged with Punjab to constitute a single administrative unit wherein the interests of Sikhs and Sikhism are specifically protected.
(b) In this new Punjab (as in all other stated) the Center's interference would be restricted to Defense, Foreign Relations, Currency and Communications, all other departments being in the jurisdiction of Punjab (and other states) which would be fully entitled to frame their own Constitution. For the aforesaid departments of the Center, Punjab (and other states) would contribute in proportion to their respective representation in Parliament.
(c) The Sikhs and other minorities living outside Punjab should be adequately protected against any kind of discrimination against them.
2. The Shiromani Akali Dal would also endeavor to have the Indian Constitution recast on real Federal principles with equal representation at the Centre for all the States.
3. The Shiromani Akali Dal strongly denounces the Foreign policy of India as framed by the Congress Party. It is worthless and highly detrimental to the interest of the country, its people and mankind at large. Shiromani Akali Dal shall extend its support only to such policies as are based upon the principles of peace and national interest. It strongly advocates a policy of peace with all neighboring countries, particularly those which have within their borders Sikh population and Sikh shrines. The Akali Dal is of the firm view that the foreign policy of India should in no case be one of playing second fiddle to any other country.
4. The Shiromani Akali Dal shall firmly resist and discrimination against any Sikh (or even other) employees of the Centre or State government [on the basis of his caste or creed]. It shall also endeavor to maintain the traditional position of the Sikhs in all the wings of the Defense services and needs of the Sikh army personnel shall be adequately taken care of by the Panth. The Shiromani Akali Dal shall also ensure that kirpan is accepted as an integral part of the uniform of the Sikhs in the Army.
5. It shall be the primary obligation of the Shiromani Akali Dal to help rehabilitate ex-servicemen of the Defense forces in the civil life, and for such a purpose it would extend them every help to enable them to organize themselves and raise their voice in an effective way to gain adequate safeguards and concessions for an honorable and dignified life.
6. The Shiromani Akali Dal is of the firm opinion that all those persons, including women, who have not been convicted of any criminal offence by a court of law should have the right to possess any type of small arm like revolvers, guns, pistols, rifles, carbines, etc., without any license, the only obligation being their registration.
7. The Shiromani Akali Dal seeks ban on the sale of liquor and all other kinds of intoxicants, and shall press for a ban on the consumption of intoxicants and smoking in public places.
Apart from defining the basic postulates and principles of policies and its ultimate goal, the open session of the General House of the Shiromani Akali Dal, held at Ludhiana, also traced the outlines of the long-term socio-economic and cultural aims and objectives of the Party, for the attainment of which it adopted twelve sub-resolutions. A closer analysis of these sub-resolutions shows that while the core of the basic resolutions passed by its working committee at Anandpur Sahib in 1973, namely attainment of special Constitutional state for the Sikhs to ensure their growth in accordance with their own socio-spiritual traditions and tenets was fully endorsed by the General House of the Shiromani Akali Dal, the scope of the greater autonomy to the state of Punjab for the aforesaid purpose was widened to include all the states. Thus, the shape and scope of the Anandpur Sahib resolution as tit finally emerged out of the Ludhiana meet of the Shiromani Akali Dal envisages:
1. The attainment of pre-eminence of the Khalsa through special constitutional safeguards and powers for the Sikhs.
2. Greater autonomy to all the states by recasting the Centre-State relations on the basis of limited powers for the Centre.
Resolutions adopted, in the light of the Anandpur Sahib Resolution, at open session of the 18th All India Akali Conference held at Ludhiana on October 28-29, 1978, under the presidentship of Jathedar Jagdev Singh Talwandi are as under:
Resolution No. 1
Moved by Sardar Gurcharan Singh Tohra, President, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, and endorsed by Sardar Parkash Singh Badal, Chief Minister, Punjab.
The Shiromani Akali Dal realizes that India is a federal and republican geographical entity of different languages, religions and cultures. To safeguard the fundamental rights of the religious and linguistic minorities, to fulfill the demands of the democratic traditions and to pave the way for economic progress, it has become imperative that the Indian constitutional infrastructure should be given a real federal shape by redefining the Central and State relation and rights on the lines of the aforesaid principles and objectives.
The concept of total revolution given by Lok Naik Jaya Parkash Narain is also based upon the progressive decentralization of powers. The climax of the process of centralization of powers of the states through repeated amendments of the Constitution during the Congress regime came before the countrymen in the form of the Emergency (1975), when all fundamental rights of all citizens was usurped. It was then that the programme of decentralization of powers ever advocated by Shiromani Akali Dal was openly accepted and adopted by other political parties including Janata Party, C.P.I. (M), D.M.K., etc.
Shiromani Akali Dal has ever stood firm on this principle and that is why after a very careful consideration it unanimously adopted a resolution to this effect first at the All India Akali Conference, Batala, then at Anandpur Sahib which has endorsed the principle of State autonomy in keeping with the concept of federalism.
As such, the Shiromani Akali Dal emphatically urges upon the Janata Government to take cognizance of the different linguistic and cultural sections, religious minorities as also the voice of millions of people and recast the constitutional structure of the country on real and meaningful federal principles to obviate the possibility of any danger to the unity and integrity of the country and, further, to enable the states to play a useful role for the progress and prosperity of the Indian people in their respective areas by a meaningful exercise of their powers.
This momentous meeting of the Shiromani Akali Dal calls upon the Government of India to examine carefully the long tale of the excesses, wrongs, illegal actions committed [against the Sikhs] by the previous Congress Government, more particularly during the Emergency, and try to find an early solution to the following problems:
(a) Chandigarh originally raised as a Capital for Punjab should be handed over to Punjab.
(b) The long-standing demand of the Shiromani Akali Dal for the merger in Punjab of the Punjabi-speaking areas, to be identified by linguistic experts with village as a unit, should be conceded.
(c) The control of headworks should continue to be vested in Punjab and, if need be, the Reorganization Act should be amended.
(d) The arbitrary and unjust Award given by Mrs. Indira Gandhi during the Emergency on the distributions of Ravi-Beas waters should be revised on the universally accepted norms and principles, and justice be done to Punjab.
(e) Keeping in view the special aptitude and martial qualities of the Sikhs, the present ratio of their strength in the Army should be maintained.
(f) The excesses being committed on the settlers in the Tarai region of the Uttar Pradesh in the name of Land Reforms should be vacated by making suitable amendments in the ceiling law on the Central guidelines.
(Economic Policy Resolution)
The chief sources of inspiration of the economic policies and programme of the Shiromani Akali Dal are the secular, democratic and socialistic concepts of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. Our economic programme is based on three principles:
(a) Dignity of labor.
(b) An economic and social structure which provides for the uplift of the poor and depressed sections of society.
(c) Unabated opposition to concentration of economic and political power in the hands of the capitalists.
While drafting its economic policies and programme, the Shiromani Akali Dal in its historic Anandpur Sahib Resolution has laid particular stress on the need to break the monopolistic hold of the capitalists foisted on the Indian economy by 30 years of Congress rule in India. This capitalist hold enabled the Central government to assume all powers in its hands after the manner of Mughal imperialism. This was bound to thwart the economic progress of the states and injure the social and economic interests of the people. The Shiromani Akali Dal once again reiterates the Sikh way of life by resolving to fulfil the holy words of Guru Nanak Dev:
"He alone realizes the true path who labors honestly and shares with others the fruits of that labor."
This way of life is based upon three basic principles:
i. Doing honest labor,
ii. Sharing with others the fruits of this labor, and
iii. Meditation on the Lord's Name.
The Shiromani Akali Dal calls upon the Central and the State governments to eradicate unemployment during the next ten years. While pursuing this aim, special emphasis should be laid on amelioration the lot of the weaker sections, scheduled and depressed classes, workers, landless and poor farmers and urban poor farmers and urban poor. Minimum wages must be fixed for all of them.
The Shiromani Akali Dal urges Punjab government to draw up such an economic plan for the state as would turn it into the leading state during the next ten years by raising per capita income to Rs. 3,000 and by generating an economic growth rate of 7% per annum as against 4% at the national level.
The Shiromani Akali Dal gives first priority to the redrafting of the taxation structure in such a way that the burden of taxation is shifted from the poor to the richer classes and an equitable distribution of national income ensured.
The main plank of the economic programme of the Shiromani Akali Dal is to enable the economically weaker sections of the society to share the fruits of national income.
The Shiromani Akali Dal calls upon the Central government to make an international airport at Amritsar which should also enjoy the facilities of a dry port. Similarly, a Stock Exchange should be opened at Ludhiana to accelerate the process of industrialization and economic growth in the State. The Shiromani Akali Dal also desires that suitable amendments should be made in the Foreign Exchange rules for free exchange of foreign currencies and thereby removing the difficulties being faced by the Indian emigrants.
The Shiromani Akali Dal emphatically urges upon the Indian government to bring about parity between the prices of the agricultural produce and that of the industrial raw materials so that the discrimination against such states that lack these materials may be removed.
The Shiromani Akali Dal demands that the exploitation of the produces of cash crops like cotton, sugarcane, oil seeds, etc., at the hand of traders should be stopped forthwith and for this purpose arrangements be made for purchase by government of these crops at remunerable prices. Besides, effective steps should be taken by government for the purchase of cotton through the Cotton Corporation.
The Shiromani Akali Dal strongly feels that the most pressing national problem is the need to ameliorate the lot of millions of exploited persons belonging to the scheduled classes. For such a purpose the Shiromani Akali Dal calls upon the Central and State governments to earmark special funds. Besides, the state governments should allot sufficient funds in their respective budgets for giving free residential plots both in the urban and rural areas to the Scheduled Castes.
The Shiromani Akali Dal also calls for the rapid diversification of farming. The shortcomings in the Land Reforms Laws should be removed, rapid industrialization of the State ensured, credit facilities for the medium industries expanded and unemployment allowance given to those who are unemployed. For remunerative farming, perceptible reduction should be made in the prices of farm machinery like tractors, tubewells, as also of the inputs.
This huge gathering of the Shiromani Akali Dal regrets the discrimination to which the Punjabi language is being subjected in adjoining States of Himachal, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, etc. It is its firm demand that in accordance with the Nehru Language Formula, the neighboring State of Punjab should give "second" language status to Punjabi because of fairly large sections of their respective populations are Punjabi-speaking.
The meeting regrets that against the "claims" of the refugees who had migrated to Jammu and Kashmir as a result of the partition of the country, no compensation had been provided to them even after such a long time and these unfortunate refugees had been rotting in the camps ever since then.
This Akali Dal session, therefore, forcefully demands that their claims should be settled soon and immediate steps should be taken to rehabilitate them even if it involves an amendment to section 370 of the Constitution.
The 18th session of the All India Akali Conference take strong exception to the discrimination to which the minorities in other states are being subjected and the way in which their interests are being ignored.
As such, it demands that injustice against the Sikhs in other states should be vacated and proper representation should be given them in government service, local bodies and state legislatures, through nominations, if need be.
The 18th session of the All India Akali Conference notes with satisfaction that mechanization of farming in the country has led to increase in the farm yield and a as a result the country is heading toward self-sufficiency in foodgrain.
However, the session feels that poor farmers are unable to tale to mechanization because of the enormity of the cost involved.
As such, the Shiromani Akali Dal urges upon the Government of India to abolish the excise duty on tractors, sot that with the decrease in their prices, the smaller farmers may also be able to avail themselves of farm machinery and contribute to increase in agricultural produce of the country.
This conference of the Shiromani Akali Dal appeals to the Central and State governments to pay particular attention to the poor and laboring classes and demands that besides making suitable amendments in the Minimum Wages Act, suitable legal steps be taken to improve the economic lot of the laboring class, to enable it to lead respectable life and play a useful role in the rapid industrialization of the country.
This session seeks permission from the Government of India to install a broadcasting station at the Golden Temple, Amritsar, for the relay of Gurbani Kirtan for the spiritual satisfaction of those Sikh who are living in foreign lands.
The session wishes to make it clear that the entire cost of the proposed broadcasting project would be borne by the Khalsa Panth and its over all control shall vest with the Indian Government. It is hoped that the Government would have no hesitation in conceding this demand after due consideration.
Resolution No. 10
This mammoth gathering of the Shiromani Akali Dal strongly urges upon the Government of India to make necessary amendments in the following enactment for the benefit of the agricultural classes who have toiled hard for the sake of larger national interests:
1. Hindu Succession Act be suitably amended to enable a woman to get rights of inheritance in the properties of her father-in-law instead of the father's.
2. The agricultural lands of the farmers should be completely exempted from the Wealth Tax and the Estate Tax.
This vast gathering of the Shiromani Akali Dal strongly impresses upon the Government of India that keeping in vies that economic backwardness of the scheduled and non-scheduled castes, provisions proportionate to their population should be made in the budget for utilization for their welfare. A special ministry should be created at the Centre as a practical measure to render justice to them on the basis of reservations.
The session also calls upon the government that in keeping with the settlement already made, no discrimination should be made between the Sikh and Hindu Harijans in any part of the country.
The Congress government is called upon to vacate the gross injustice, discrimination done to Punjab in the distribution of Ravi-Beas waters. The Central government must also give approval for the immediate establishment of six sugar and four textile mills in Punjab so that the State may be able to implement its agro-industrial policy.

Siranwali () is a town of Daska Tehsil on the Gujranwala-Pasrur road in Sialkot District, Punjab, Pakistan.

History

The Kambojas, Daradas, Kaikayas, Madras, Pauravas, Yaudheyas, Malavas and Kurus invaded, settled and ruled ancient Punjab. After overrunning the Achaemenid Empire in 331 BCE, Alexander marched into present-day Punjab region with an army of 50,000. The Sialkot was ruled by Maurya Empire, Indo-Greek kingdom, Kushan Empire, Gupta Empire, White Huns, Kushano-Hephthalites and Kabul Shahi kingdoms.

In 997 CE, Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, took over the Ghaznavid dynasty which was established by his father, Sultan Sebuktegin. In 1005 he conquered the Shahis in Kabul, and followed it by the conquests of Punjab region. The Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal Empire ruled the region. The Punjab region became predominantly Muslim due to missionary Sufi saints whose dargahs dot the landscape of the Punjab region.

After the formation of the Sikh Empire, Sialkot was invaded and occupied by Sikhs. The Muslims were co-operative with them due to shared ethnicity. During the period of British rule, Sialkot district increased in population and importance.

Siranwali was settled by the Sandhu Jat migrants. The Sandhu clan of Siranwali rose position and power under Sandhawalia Jat rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. He awarded this jagir to Sardar Lal Singh Sandhu whose daughter married to Ranjit Singh's  elder son Kharak Singh in 1840.After the decline of Sikh empire in 1849, this region was captured by British rule in India.

The predominantly Muslim population supported the All-India Muslim League and Pakistan Movement. After the Independence of Pakistan in 1947, the minority Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India while the Muslim refugees from India settled in the Sialkot. The ruling family departed for India. Their mansion was subsequently acquired by Mewati-speaking Muslim refugees.

Overview
The town is home to grain markets which provides jobs to over fifty thousand people. There are over thirty rice mills located in the area, making it one of the major grain markets in the Punjab region. The town is located close to, and partly merged with, Mianwali Bangla.

Demographics
The majority of the population are Mewati-speaking, with Punjabi-speaking people forming the next largest group. Urdu is also spoken.

Is the Cure Worse than the Disease?
Governor Tony Evers decision to have DHS Secretary Andrea Palm extend his "safer at Home" order to May 26th is shocking and most likely illegal. The Governor only has power to extend his emergency order to May 10th. Then he must work with the state legislature. One might wonder why he has failed to seek opinions or even brief members of the legislature to this point. DHS Secretary Andrea Palm does not have the authority to extend the order, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court will likely strike down the extension beyond May 10th.

This Salmon Burger Tastes Like The Real Thing (But It's Actually Fungi And Algae)
Humans consume more seafood than any other protein. Terramino Foods thinks it has a replacement–made from a sustainable source.
[Photo: Terramino]
By Adele Peters 3 minute Read
Inside something similar to a beer-brewing vat, at a biotech accelerator in San Francisco, a startup spent the last four months tweaking a process to grow fungi that it then turns into a "salmon" burger that looks, tastes, and smells like the actual fish. Side by side with a salmon burger from Whole Foods, the fungi-based burger is nearly indistinguishable.
"We asked ourselves, is there something in nature–that isn't a plant–that has the same size of fiber as animal muscle fiber?" says Kimberlie Le, cofounder and CEO of Terramino Foods, one of several startups that will graduate today from Indiebio, an accelerator that helps scientists launch companies. The structure of plants makes it difficult to replicate the texture of chewing on meat. Plants high in protein also tend to have strong flavors. Fungi, they discovered, addressed both of these problems. After algae and plant-based ingredients are added to the fungi, the burger also has the same flavor and nutrition as salmon.
Le and cofounder Joshua Nixon met as students at the University of California-Berkeley, where both enrolled in an undergraduate class called Plant-Based Seafood Collider, where students experimented with creating alternatives to fish. While plant-based meat is growing quickly as an industry–meat giants like Cargill and Tyson have invested heavily in companies like Beyond Meat and Memphis Meats, which make alternates to traditionally farmed meats (the former makes plant-based versions of beef and chicken, the latter grows meat in a lab from animal cells), and Impossible Foods now sells its plant-based burger at a fast-food chain–alternatives to seafood have gotten less attention.
At the same time, humans consume more seafood than any other protein source, and that consumption is growing. Seafood, like meat, poses multiple environmental challenges. Overfishing is already a widespread problem. Pollutants like mercury, flame retardants, and microplastics sometimes show up in fish. Some salmon farms use large amounts of antibiotics.
"We were looking at a lot of the efficiencies of the production of what in some cases are food products that then get ground up and put into fish fingers or fish cakes or fish paste . . . there's a wide range of different places where a fish could be replaced without losing the taste of the product," says Allison Berke, an academic research advisor for the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit that mentored students in the class and a series of related classes focused on alternative meat that followed. During the class, students focused on finding ways to replicate the taste of fish, along with texture. While other students in the class worked with plant proteins, Le and Nixon used fungi.
Le and Nixon have experimented with various fungi, but are particularly interested in using koji, a fungus commonly used to make sake, miso soup, and soy sauce. (Koji, or Aspergillus oryzae, is well-known enough in Japan that it has inspired a manga series and, after being named "national fungus," is celebrated each year on October 12.) "Instead of using [koji's] ability to transform soy or rice, we're using their biomass as a great source of protein," says Le.
The startup brews the fungus in a liquid, feeding it on simple nutrients, and as it grows into strands they harvest it to use as an ingredient. On its own, the fungi are nearly flavorless. Algae, another key ingredient, helps give the burger its characteristically fishy flavor and provides omega-3 fatty acids. The resulting product has less fat than farmed salmon but otherwise is nutritionally the same. Like meat, it is a complete protein source.
Over the four months spent at Indiebio, the startup improved its efficiency of production by around 500%. It plans to begin supplying products to restaurants by the end of 2018. The first products will be a burger and fillet; the company didn't want to sell raw "meat" without seasoning because it wants to "give people the best experience with this novel protein," Le says. It will soon expand to other seafood and meat alternatives, using the same fungi platform. As production of the salmon alternatives scales up in 2019, the company expects the price to be competitive with the average wholesale cost of salmon.
"Right now, we're not that far off from it, even at a very small scale," she says. "That kind of speaks to how our technology is not a matter of 5 or 10 years from now–it's happening now. We can already feed people and it's decently cost-effective. Our goal at scale, in a few years, will be to get the price down below any source of animal source protein, whether that be chicken or fish. We want to be price-competitive on all of these options."
Correction: This article has been updated to reflect that Memphis Meats products are not plant-based, but grown from animal cells.

Associated Press World View, Feb. 11, 2021
Good morning. In today's AP Morning Wire:
Chilling video footage becomes key exhibit in Trump impeachment trial.
'Overwhelm the problem': Inside Biden's war footing on COVID-19.
Countries curb diplomatic ties, weigh sanctions on Myanmar after coup.
Yemen War: A difficult road to peace despite Biden's new push.

Chilling video footage becomes key exhibit in Trump impeachment trial; Georgia prosecutor opens criminal investigation after Trump election call
It was raw and visceral. And it un-mistakenly brought home just how much worse last month's deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol could have been.
Chilling video footage presented by the prosecution, including of rioters searching menacingly for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence, is a key exhibit in Donald Trump's impeachment trial, Lisa Mascaro, Eric Tucker, Mary Clare Jalonick and Jill Colvin report.
Lawmakers prosecuting the case in the Senate aim to prove that Trump bears singular responsibility for the siege.
The footage shown at trial, much of it never before seen, has included video of the mob smashing into the building, distraught members of Congress receiving comfort, rioters engaging in hand-to-hand combat with police and audio of Capitol police officers pleading for back-up.
It underscored how dangerously close the rioters came to the nation's leaders, shifting the focus of the trial from an academic debate about the Constitution to a raw retelling of the Jan. 6 assault.
Today brings the second and final full day of House prosecution arguments, with the Trump legal team taking the lectern Friday and Saturday for up to 16 hours to lay out their defense.
Trial Highlights: Harrowing footage, focus on Trump's words on Day 2, captured by Jill Colvin.
VIDEO: Trump trial video unveils chilling scope of US Capitol riot.
The Scene: Senators in both parties were stoic and rapt as they relived the horror, watching almost 90 minutes of terror unfold on large screens near their desks. If any senators had tried not to look at images of the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol, or to bury their memories after they fled a violent mob of Trump supporters that day, they were not able to do so any longer. Senators braced themselves in their chairs, leaned forward over their desks and stayed absolutely silent — impartial jurors but also witnesses to the violence, Mary Clare Jalonick writes.
VIDEO: Senators stunned by new footage of Capitol siege.
Biden Keeps His Own Counsel: Did someone say impeachment? President Joe Biden has avoided wading into the debate. Biden has said he wouldn't watch the trial and was leaving it up to the Senate to decide whether to convict Trump. White House press secretary Jen Psaki has dodged question after question about the trial. The message reflects the political and practical realities of the moment. White House aides privately note that the president doesn't gain much from weighing in. And they say staying above the fray allows him to focus on his national COVID-19 plan, Jonathan Lemire and Alexandra Jaffe report.
Trump's Lawyers: Trump has employed high-powered litigators for decades, but since losing the election to Biden, he's been bleeding attorneys. More established firms have backed away from his baseless claims of election fraud, leaving him with legal teams that repeatedly made elementary errors in cases that were quickly rejected. His personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was ridiculed for his performance before a federal judge during one election case. By the time Trump's second impeachment trial rolled around, he was looking far outside the top law firms that typically would represent an ex-president. Alanna Durkin Richer, Nomaan Merchant and Colleen Long report.
Georgia Election Investigation: A Georgia prosecutor's office has opened a criminal investigation into "attempts to influence" the outcome of last year's general election. Officials did not mention Donald Trump by name, but a spokesman said that is part of it. Trump has come under intense criticism for a call he made to the state's top elections official last month. Trump pressed Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state, Kate Brumback reports.

Inside Biden's war footing on COVID-19; AP-NORC Poll: A third of US adults skeptical of COVID-19 shots; In UK, roving vaccination teams bring virus jab to homeless
President Joe Biden's team is putting itself on war footing as it fights the pandemic. Top aides say the administration is using every "tool the federal government has to battle on every front."
To defeat the virus, Biden's team must oversee a herculean logistical effort to put shots into hundreds of millions of arms. It also must overcome vaccine hesitance, politically charged science skepticism and fatigue across all corners of society, Zeke Miller reports.
His team has been rolling out an almost dizzying array of new efforts and appeals — everything from building a surgical glove factory to asking Americans to wear masks while walking their dogs.
The goal, Biden aides say, is as simple as it is ambitious: After a year of being on defense they want to take the fight to the virus — to "overwhelm the problem," a kind of mantra for the team.
U.S. Vaccine Poll: About 1 in 3 Americans say they definitely or probably won't get the coronavirus vaccine. That's according to a new poll that some experts say is discouraging news if the U.S. hopes to achieve herd immunity and vanquish the outbreak, MIke Stobbe and Hannah Fingerhut report. The poll from The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that while 67% of Americans plan to get vaccinated or have already done so, 15% are certain they won't and 17% say probably not. Many expressed doubts about the vaccine's safety and effectiveness, even though few serious side effects have turned up more than a month and a half into the U.S. vaccination drive.
Suing U.S. Nursing Homes : As the virus takes a devastating toll on seniors in nursing homes, many attorneys are turning down grieving families seeking to sue long-term care providers for wrongful death. That's because more than half of U.S. states have granted nursing homes and other health providers protection from lawsuits during the pandemic. The federal government says about 162,000 nursing home residents and workers have died, accounting for roughly 1-in-3 virus deaths in the U.S., Russ Bynum reports.
Vaccinating the U.K. Homeless: In a pandemic, homeless people face being more forgotten than they already are. Because those sleeping outside have no address doctors can contact them at, some local authorities in Britain have begun sending out roving vaccination teams to identify the clinically vulnerable among them. Some doctors are on a mission to bring the vaccine to those hardest to reach and often most at risk of getting sick. One small team of doctors and nurses have been showing up at homeless centers in east London, a COVID-19 hotspot, offering a free jab to dozens who may otherwise get left behind in Britain's mass vaccination drive, Sylvia Hui reports.
WHO Vaccine: Independent experts advising the World Health Organization have recommended using AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine even in countries that have turned up worrying coronavirus variants in their populations. The new comes amid growing doubts about that particular vaccine's effectiveness against a variant that emerged in South Africa. The advice is used by health care officials worldwide but doesn't amount to a WHO green light for the U.N. and its partners. That approval could come after separate WHO group meets Friday and Monday to assess whether an emergency-use listing for the AstraZeneca vaccine is warranted, Jamey Keaten reports from Geneva.

After the coup in Myanmar, countries curb diplomatic ties, weigh sanctions; Digital siege: Internet cuts become a favored tool of repression
A growing number of governments are curbing diplomatic ties with Myanmar and increasing economic pressure on its military over the coup last week.
President Joe Biden issued an order that will prevent Myanmar's generals from accessing $1 billion in assets in the U.S. and promises more measures. The U.S. was among many governments that lifted most sanctions in the past decade to encourage democratic transition in Myanmar.
One of the strongest reactions came from New Zealand, which suspended all military and high-level political contact with Myanmar and denied recognition to its military-led government. Malaysia and Indonesia called for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to convene a special meeting to discuss Myanmar, but it's unclear if the bloc can come together. Kim Tong-hyung has this story from Seoul.
In Myanmar itself, members of the country's myriad ethnic minorities marching behind their groups' flags joined the large, enthusiastic protests against the junta after resistance to the coup received a major boost from abroad from Biden.
Tens of thousands of protesters, if not more, have marched daily in Myanmar's biggest cities. Participants have included civil servants, medical workers and people from all walks of life. Buddhist monks also have been visible, as have LGBTQ contingents behind rainbow flags, underlining the breadth of opposition to the coup.
Internet Shutdowns: When army generals in Myanmar staged a coup, they briefly cut internet access in an apparent attempt to stymie protests. Ugandans couldn't access social media platforms for weeks after a recent election. Ethiopia's Tigray region has been cut off from the internet for months. Internet shutdowns are an increasingly popular tool for repressive and authoritarian governments and some illiberal democracies.
Digital rights groups say governments use them to stifle dissent, silence opposition voices or cover up human rights abuses. One report found 93 major internet shutdowns in 21 countries last year. It's the digital equivalent of the pre-internet seizing of control of local TV and radio stations by despots and their rivals, Kelvin Chan reports.

Yemen's Ruinous War
Despite the Biden administration's renewed push, a difficult road to peace lies ahead in war-ravaged Yemen
"It's a wise decision, but it's too late," says the uncle of a child traumatized by a Saudi Arabian airstrike that destroyed her home in the Yemeni capital and killed her parents and her five siblings in August 2017.
It's also far too early, he and many suggest, to say whether President Biden's move to stop backing the Saudi coalition and push for an end to the war will bring peace to Yemen, Sam Magdy reports.
Yemenis have suffered six years of bloodshed, destruction and humanitarian catastrophe.
There's no doubt it's a difficult diplomatic road ahead. The warring sides have not held substantive peace talks since 2019 and are dug in, with Houthi rebels launching a new assault against government forces just days after Biden's announcement.
Biden's halt to support for the Saudi-led coalition was a dramatic break with the air campaign against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, which had brought international condemnation for causing thousands of civilian deaths. But that does not immediately undermine the coalition's ability to fight the ruinous war.
Yemen today marks 10 years since the fall of longtime autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh in the wake of an Arab Spring uprising — a moment Yemenis hoped would lead to effective governance and greater freedom.
Instead, a brutal war followed when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in late 2014 along with much of the country's north, ousting the government of Saleh's successor, President Abed Rabu Mansour Hadi.
TIMELINE: Yemen war began in 2014 when Houthis seized Sanaa. Saudi Arabia, along with the United Arab Emirates and other countries, entered the war alongside Yemen's internationally recognized government in March 2015. The war has killed some 130,000 people and driven the Arab world's poorest country to the brink of famine.
Biden in call with China's Xi raises human rights, trade; Beijing pushes back
Joe Biden has held his first call as president with Xi Jinping, pressing the Chinese leader about trade and Beijing's crackdown on democracy activists in Hong Kong. A White House statement says Biden raised concerns about Beijing's "coercive and unfair economic practices." Biden also pressed Xi on China's actions toward Taiwan and human rights abuses against Uighur and ethnic minorities in the western Xinjiang province. China's state broadcaster says Xi pushed back against those concerns and warned "the U.S. should respect China's core interests." The two leaders spoke just hours after Biden announced plans for a Pentagon task force to review U.S. national security strategy in China.
'We'll be left without families': Fear in Ethiopia's Tigray
Rare witness accounts are illuminating the heavy toll of the shadowy conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region as fighting enters a fourth month. An American nurse who recently escaped tells the AP that perhaps 1,000 people were killed around her family's town alone. And an opposition official says his party and others have compiled "thousands of names" of dead civilians. He warns that once the region becomes accessible, "the world will apologize to the people of Tigray, but it will be too late." Red Cross officials now warn that thousands of people could starve to death in the coming weeks.
Reports: Mori to resign from Tokyo Olympics over sexist remarks
Pressure is coming from all sides in Japan for Yoshiro Mori to step down as the president of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee. This follows his demeaning comments about women more than a week ago and an ensuing public debate in Japan about gender equality. A move could come as soon as Friday, according to some reports, when the organizing committee's executive board meets. The executive board is overwhelmingly male. The 83-year-old Mori at a meeting of the Japanese Olympic Committee essentially said that women "talk too much" and are driven by a "strong sense of rivalry." He gave a grudging apology a day after his opinions were reported, but declined to step down.
Hustler founder and First Amendment battler Larry Flynt dies
Larry Flynt, who turned his pornographic Hustler magazine into an empire while fighting numerous First Amendment court battles, has died at 78. Flynt's career began with Ohio strip clubs but in 1974 he founded Hustler, an unashamedly crude, hard-core skin magazine that offended conservatives and feminists alike. Flynt fought numerous court battles over obscenity and other charges and depicted himself as a fighter for free speech. He also staged political stunts, such as offering $10 million in 2017 for information to impeach Donald Trump.

Today I wanted to do a review on another Maybelline Color Tattoo, this time on the color 35 - On And On Bronze/Bad To The Bronze (here in europe they gave them other names than in the us). I think that Maybelline did a really good job on this line because they have a fantastic mix of neutrals/brights and mattes/frosts.
Am Freitag war ich bei Müller und habe mal wieder ein bisschen eingekauft. Eins von den Dingen die ich gekauft habe wollte ich euch heute kurz vorstellen, nämlich den Maybelline Color Tattoo Lidschatten in der Farbe 35 - On And On Bronze. Ich habe schoneinmal eine Review zu Permanent Taupe gemacht, falls es euch interessiert hier ist der Link: Permanent Taupe Review.
The consistenz of this cream eye shadow is similar to the MAC paint pots, so if you like them you'll probaly also like the Maybelline ones. It blends very easily with fingers and lasts the whole day without creasing on me. I'd test it for 24h, but it's not New Years Eve yet and who even wears make up so long on regular days?
Die Konsitenz ist ähnlich wie bei den MAC Paint Pots, ein bisschen cremiger finde ich. On And On Bronze lässt sich genauso gut verblenden wie Permanent Taupe und hält den ganzen Tag ohne zu creasen.
I've been wanting to get some of these! I love the color of the one you swatched! Found you on Hairspray and Highheels link party!
Thanks so much for linking it on The Wednesday Chronicles, hope to see you back this week!

Turkey refused to allow NATO warships
Modified date: Mar 2, 2016
Image copyright AFP Image caption Nato's Standing Maritime Group 2 is being sent to the Aegean Sea
NATO vessels deployed in the Aegean Sea to help stop the flow of migrants into Europe have not yet started operating in Turkish waters and are waiting for the go-ahead from alliance member Ankara, diplomats told AFP Tuesday.
Despite requests by the NATO operation's German command, "the Turks refused" this weekend to allow the vessels to enter into Turkish waters, a diplomatic source told AFP.
Another diplomat confirmed the report.
The unprecedented mission, which seeks to tackle migrant smugglers, was launched earlier this month and aims to help the European Union cope with its worst migration crisis since World War II.
The plan is for the NATO force to conduct reconnaissance, monitoring and surveillance to provide information to Greece, Turkey and the EU's border agency Frontex so that they — not the alliance — can deal with the traffickers.
Longstanding disputes between Athens and Ankara over Aegean airspace and territorial waters have however held up agreement on the operational details.
Turkish authorities have now asked Rear Admiral Jorg Klein, the German commander of the NATO operation, "to go to Ankara to determine the area where (NATO) might deploy", the diplomatic source said.
"That is now being discussed between the Germans and the Turks," the source added.
Turkey meanwhile "is showing little to no interest" in taking back migrants picked up by the NATO vessels at sea as they attempt to make the perilous crossing to Greece, the source said.
Plans for the mission were first laid out in a meeting between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Ankara on February 8.
Three days later, defence ministers from NATO's member states gave their go-ahead to start preparing the operation, and to the immediate deployment of three vessels in the Aegean.
More than a million migrants fleeing war in Syria and upheaval across the Middle East, Asia and Africa landed in the European Union last year, the bulk of them making the perilous journey across the Aegean from Turkey to Greece.

Q: Valid uses cases for reinterpret_cast for unaligned memory access vs memcpy? In the internals of snappy, there is a conditionally compiled section that selects dereferencing a reinterpret_cast'ed pointer as the best implementation for reads and writes of potentially unaligned 16, 32, and 64 bit integers on architectures that are known to support such operations (like x86). The fallback for other architectures is to use a memcpy based implementation.
My understanding is that the reinterpret_cast implementation exhibits undefined behavior, and clang's undefined behavior sanitizer does flag it.
What is puzzling me though is: why not just use the memcpy based implementation? I would expect all but the most broken of compilers to use intrinsics to implement these memcpy calls, since the size is known at compile time. In fact I would expect identical codegen from both implementations on any modern toolchain.
However, I also recognize that snappy was written by folks who know what they are about. So this leaves me wondering whether there is still some advantage to using the reinterpret_cast mechanism that outweighs its being undefined behavior. Not wanting performance to depend on compiler quality of implementation? Something else I haven't considered?

A: Without knowing the programmer(s) who wrote that code in the first place, I doubt you can get a truly authoritative answer.
Here's my best guess: the authors didn't want to rely on a possible memcpy optimization (which is in no way guaranteed by the spec, even if it is implemented by many compilers). On the flip side, writing a reinterpret_cast is very, very likely to produce simply the unaligned access instruction that the authors were expecting, on practically any compiler.
While smart, modern compilers will optimize the memcpy, older ones may not. Consistent performance can be quite critical to this library, so they seem to have sacrificed some correctness (since the reinterpret_cast appears to be potentially UB) in favour of obtaining more consistent results across a wider set of compilers.

A: The reason is that it's faster (on x86) to load an int from an unaligned address than to copy it and then load it.
The overhead of an unaligned load is about a factor 2. The memcpy boils down to 4 byte reads, 4 byte writes (or one 32 bit write, depending on compiler), and then you still need the load. In the best case, the optimizer may spot that the write-after-read is redundant.
Personally, I'd implement the safe method as 4 byte loads with shifts.

[Objective] The drying characteristics of fungus under different microwave powers were studied.
[Method] The effect of microwave power on the microwave drying characteristics of fungus was analyzed from the relationship of water content and drying rate, and the water loss law of microwave drying process in fungus was obtained.
[Results] The experiment showed that the higher the microwave power, the faster the drying speed of the fungus; under the same microwave power, the initial drying speed was slower; the medium-term accelerated drying, and the later stage appeared constant speed or slowdown.
The higher the microwave power, the higher the temperature of the dried material, and the faster the temperature rises during the same drying time; when it reaches about 70 °C, the protective film on the surface of the fungus is destroyed, and the protection of moisture in the fungus is lost, and the temperature rises again. trend. According to the analysis, the microwave drying speed is affected by the internal energy conversion process of the drying field and also depends on the internal structure of the material.
[Conclusion] The research can provide reference for the process optimization of the microwave drying equipment and the design of new drying equipment.
Auricularia auricular (L. ex Hook.) Under, belonging to the Basidiomycetes fungus, fungus family, has a variety of physiological activities, is the world's first artificially cultivated high-quality basal basidiomycetes. Because the fresh fungus has a high water content and is difficult to store and transport, the traditional fungus is directly marketed as a dry product.
Traditional drying methods for fungus use natural drying and hot air drying. Traditional fungus drying has the disadvantages of low heat utilization rate, low production efficiency and excessive energy consumption. At present, there are few reports on the drying of fungus at home and abroad, so it is especially important to study the drying method and drying characteristics.
Microwave is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave with strong penetrating power, which promotes the diffusion of moisture to the surface of the material during the drying process, thereby accelerating the drying speed.
Compared with the traditional drying method, microwave drying not only has high heat utilization rate, short heating time, high production efficiency, energy saving, production cost saving, but also uniform drying, clean production, improved food quality after drying, and easy drying process. Control, technically reliable and feasible.
The author carried out experimental research on the microwave drying characteristics of fungus, selected microwave power as the influencing factor, carried out the drying test on microwave equipment, analyzed the microwave drying characteristics of fungus, provided reference for the optimization of microwave drying process and the design of new drying equipment.
In the microwave drying process of the fungus, the higher the microwave power, the faster the drying speed; under the same microwave power, the initial drying speed is slower, the medium-term accelerated drying, and the later stage of constant speed or slowdown. The higher the microwave power, the higher the temperature of the dried material, and the faster the temperature rises during the same drying time; when it reaches about 70 °C, the protective film on the surface of the fungus is destroyed, and the protection of moisture in the fungus is lost, and the temperature rises again. trend.
The reason is analyzed: the microwave drying speed is affected by the internal energy conversion process of the drying field, and also depends on the internal structure of the material. Increasing the microwave power increases the drying rate. By analyzing the microwave drying characteristics of fungus, it provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of microwave drying process and the design of new drying equipment.


Its Fridays.......A few of my Favorite Things!!!
Its Friday!! This week has flown by!! I am looking forward to a little break over the weekend; however, packing starts on tomorrow. I am hoping to get rid of EVERYTHING I don't use, or plan to use, in hopes we can downsize before next months big move.
Also, since its Friday, its time to FILL IN THE BLANKS!! I love linking up with so many wonder bloggers, and this week's list is so much fun!! Enjoy!!
1. My plans this summer include Packing and Moving, and then maybe a short vacay this fall. However, Knoxville has a new flight to Denver that I am itching to take this winter.
2. The best summer I ever had was probably the summer AFTER I meet my now husband, 1997. No work, lots of swimming, and spending every day with my sweetie!!
3. Summer is popsicles, fireworks, bare feet, breezy dresses, beach, fresh fruit,late nights spent with the ones you love .
4. My favorite summer food is anything off the grill and ice cream treats!
5. The best way to quench a summer thirst is with a Sprite. I don't know why, but I have been craving Sprite all summer.
6. My summer uniform consists of cardigans............what else do I where? Ha!
7. The best thing about summer is everything is laid back, and life is just simple.
Yep grilled food and ice cream treats are the BEST!!!

Deputy Township Manager Discusses His Recent Award and Current Projects
MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - Meridian Township's Deputy Township Manager Derek Perry received the "Best of the Best – Top Assistant Manager" award for the year 2020. This award was given by the Michigan Municipal Executives (MME), who recognize top executives across Michigan for their outstanding performances.
"It was really based upon customer service which is extremely important to our organization," Perry said. "We think that's the starting block to all of our operations that we provide for our residents each day."
Deputy Township Manager Perry was nominated by Township Manager Frank Walsh and Sturgis City Manager Mike Hughes.
"It's always nice to be recognized by your peers, right? We always want that additional encouragement," Perry commented. "Very well appreciated by those that nominated me."
The MME also considered projects that the nominees have been developing and pursuing. Deputy Township Manager Perry oversees the Local Street Improvement Plan, which is a 10-year plan that aims to the get the Township's 147 miles of local roads to a pavement rating of eight out of ten.
The Township has $3.5 million to use each year over the span of ten years, and this year will be the second year of the plan's operation.
"We learned a few things in the first year and we're going to be implementing those in year two," Perry said. "One of the most important things about us is we're not just focusing on the streets that are completely failed, but we're doing more and more preservation work, which is critical to maintaining the system in good repair."
Deputy Township Manager Perry values the work he does for Meridian Township and serving the residents of the community.
"I enjoy public service," Perry said. "It's a blessing to be honored for doing something that I love to do."

I miss Payne Stewart. What a player and what a person. Part of the uniqueness that was Payne Stewart was his apparel style. Knickers, sweaters, caps… the traditional look.
While at the PGA Merchandise Show last month I visited a booth of a new company which makes that sort of traditional style golf apparel. A very new company, Kings Cross makes classic golf knickers and apparel, right down to the shoes. Check out my video below and stay tuned as I'll be doing a review of some Kings Cross apparel…when the snow melts.
Many athletes have their own way of dressing up during the game. I have seen many famous athletes wearing their favorite brand of outfit and really looks fashionable.
