One among essentially the most common electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a change. When utilizing switches in your house is fairly uncomplicated, wiring 1 may not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will discover various kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally frequent switch (and also the simplest).
There are three hues of wires inside of a standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them over the terminal screws - one on best plus the other to the bottom screw of the change. The white wire serves as a supply of uninterrupted ability and is particularly ordinarily linked to some gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the green wire into the ground screw of one's swap.
These ways would normally be adequate for making a standard swap function and not using a trouble. However, in case you are usually not self-confident that you choose to can attain the job thoroughly and securely you much better let the professionals get it done in its place. After all, there's a rationale why this endeavor is probably the most commonly encountered electrical wiring concerns questioned by most people.
For some cause, ways to wire a ceiling fan is likewise one of essentially the most typical electrical wiring queries. To simplify this job, you should use a single change for any single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is merely a matter of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan to your black wire with the change. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire ought to be linked for the black wire with the swap as well.
There are explanations why these are the most typically asked electrical wiring thoughts. One particular, numerous assume it can be straightforward to accomplish, and two, these are typically the popular electrical jobs at home. But then you certainly must not put your safety in danger in your aim to save money. The stakes could even be considerably better when you make an effort to save money and do an electrical wiring position without having adequate know-how or knowledge.

Westminster plans for 1,700 new homes
Westminster City Council has published its plans to build 1,700 new homes in the Church Street area, near Marylebone, as well as to deliver a community hub.
Web_church-street-1.jpg
The council is looking to local residents and businesses to supply feedback on its draft masterplan, which identifies nine regeneration sites in the area and aims to build on current development sites over the next 15 to 20 years.
It forms part of the council's overall bid to create a "city for all" by building more affordable homes for local residents, showing it is still possible to deliver homes of all types in the centre of London, said the council.
Of the 1,750 homes, 35 per cent have been designated as affordable. Existing council homes will be re-provided at social rent, with the option for all existing secure tenants to be rehoused in the scheme, taking the number of affordable homes to 50 per cent.
The masterplan comprises four themes: health and well-being; homes; market and enterprise; and making connections.
It looks to deliver up to a 40 per cent increase in publicly accessible open space, a new community hub, an improved street market with up to 220 stalls, and 3,600 square metres of storage facilities, 3,500 construction-related jobs, and 530 retails jobs.
Westminster City Council's cabinet member for housing, Rachael Robathan, said: "Church Street is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood and the masterplan looks to meet the needs of today's and future generations in the area.
"The proposals set out together are the council's largest regeneration scheme to date, which will deliver over 1,700 new homes including 50 per cent affordable housing overall, alongside new spaces and facilities for the community. Because of this, we genuinely want to understand the views of residents and local businesses so that they can continue to shape and influence their neighbourhood for the benefit of everyone who works and lives in this great part of Westminster."
The public consultation will run for seven weeks, closing on 29 October 2017.
The masterplan and exhibition times can be viewed on the Church Street Masterplan website.

Namibia From Above
Theo Allofs taking his paraglider engine apart after flight over the desert, in October, 2014, in the Namib Desert, Namibia. A photographer has captured a bird's eye view of the stunning Namib Desert from a paraglider. Theo Allofs travels the world taking stunning pictures of untouched landscapes from a unique perspective. Soaring 300 metres above ground, Theo shot the yellow sand dunes, dry red river beds and remote townships in Namibia. His use of a paraglider, which can soar to 1400m above ground, also allowed him to follow a flock of ostriches and a herd of zebras. Theo's unusual method of transport meant he could explore the far reaches of the desert and minimise the disruption to wildlife. (Photo by Theo Allofs/Barcroft Media)
Dogs Ease Namibia's Cheetah-farmer Conflicts
Gobabis, Namibia – Winding through the parched Namibian farmland, Bonzo, an Anatolian shepherd dog, has a singular focus: protecting his herd of goats from lurking predators. He pads along, sniffing the air and marking the scrubby landscape, just like a bodyguard ready to ward off any threat to his charges, which he considers family. "They're not pets. They're not allowed to be pets", said Bonzo's owner farmer Retha Joubert. The breed descends from ancient livestock dogs used thousands of years ago in what is now central Turkey. And they not only save sheep and goats, but have handed a lifeline to Namibia's decimated cheetah numbers by reducing conflicts between farmers and predators. "The dogs are protecting the flock in such a way that the farmers don't have to kill predators", said Laurie Marker of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) which breeds the dogs near northern city Otjiwarongo. "It's a non-lethal predator control method so it is green, it's happy, it's win-win".
The concept is simple. The dogs are placed with a flock when a few weeks old to bond with the livestock. They live permanently with the animals, loyally heading out with them every day to deter hunters, and bedding down with them at night. Marker's centre started breeding the livestock dogs to promote cheetah-friendly farming after some 10 000 big cats – the current total worldwide population – were killed or moved off farms in the 1980s. Up to 1 000 cheetahs were being killed a year, mostly by farmers who saw them as livestock killers. But the use of dogs has slashed losses for sheep and goat farmers and led to less retaliation against the vulnerable cheetah.

Namibia's Premier Game Park
Etosha National Park is one of Southern Africa's finest and most important Game Reserves. Etosha Game park was declared a National Park in 1907 and covering an area of 22 270 square km, it is home to 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species, 16 amphibian species and, surprisingly, one species of fish.
Etosha, meaning "Great White Place", is dominated by a massive mineral pan. The pan is part of the Kalahari Basin, the floor of which was formed around 1000 million years ago. The Etosha Pan covers around 25% of the National Park. The pan was originally a lake fed by the Kunene River. However the course of the river changed thousands of years ago and the lake dried up. The pan now is a large dusty depression of salt and dusty clay which fills only if the rains are heavy and even then only holds water for a short time. This temporary water in the Etosha Pan attracts thousands of wading birds including impressive flocks of flamingos. The perennial springs along the edges of the Etosha Pan draw large concentrations of wildlife and birds.

Blair Bolles/ February 21, 1949
Will the Pact Save Peace?
Behind the plan for a North Atlantic entente lies a long story of tragic failure to halt war this way.
The North Atlantic pact, which involves one of the most fateful decisions in American history, is being discussed in a series of articles in the New Republic. Last week Captain B. H. Liddell Hart, noted British military expert, analyzed the defensibility of Western Europe, and in an editorial we gave our reasons for believing that the North Atlantic pact deserves support.
The article below, by Blair Bolles, offering an argument against the plan, is published for its intrinsic interest. The author is director of the Washington Bureau of the Foreign Policy Association and a well-known specialist in the field of international relations. —THE EDITORS
THE TWENTIETH-CENTURY diplomatic boneyard is littered with dead defense treaties that failed in their purpose. They did not prevent the outbreak of war and, once war came, they did not always ensure victory. The Triple Alliance, the Locarno Pact, and Hitler's mutual-assistance treaties were all slaughtered by gunfire along with the Entente of Britain, France and Russia of pre-World War I and the guarantee of military support that Britain gave Poland on the eve of World War II.
Ignoring that disappointing record, President Truman is now recommending American participation in a North Atlantic defense pact, on the grounds that its existence might prevent an armed attack endangering our national security from ever taking place.
Such a treaty has great superficial attractions. Its supporters, like the drafters of previous defense pacts, assume that the show of inter-country solidarity will smother the aggressive tendencies of Soviet Russia. But the inevitable consequence of this kind of treaty-making is to provide the other side to make treaties of its own. The Triple Alliance was the direct cause of France and Russia making their military convention in 1894 And the psychology of nations today is as it was 50 years ago. Nobody keeps the peace by an alliance race. Alliances simply inflate suspicion.
While past alliances have not staved off war, they sometimes have been useful in war when the pacts creating them called on the signers to give armed help at once to a partner when attacked. France supported Russia in l914, and Britain declared war when Hitler attacked Poland in 1939. On the other hand, Italy not only ignored the Triple Alliance when World War I broke out, but joined the enemies of the Triple Alliance in 1915. Some pacts simply fade away like the treaties France signed with the Little Entente powers during the 1920's; either they represent no enduring common interest or they do not create the stability in international relationships that their sponsors seek.
The negotiation for the North Atlantic defense pact is the most questionable piece of unfinished business that Secretary of State Dean Acheson inherited from George Marshall. Although Marshall has gone, the Administration is committed to it. President Truman espoused it both in his Budget Message and his Inaugural Address, where he announced his intention to "provide unmistakable proof of the joint determination of the free countries to resist armed attack from any quarter." Determination to resist attack is the basis on which the defense pacts of history have usually rested.
An apparently irreconcilable conflict between the powers of Congress and the wishes of Europeans blighted the conversations aimed at the creation of the new alliance which opened at the State Department on December 10 among Robert A. Lovett, then Undersecretary of State, and representatives of Canada and the signers of the Brussels Treaty of last March 17—Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. These negotiations are still far from their end. The Europeans want an absolute guarantee that America will go to war the moment any of them is attacked. But since the Constitution authorizes Congress alone to declare war, leading Senators have advised the State Department that they will not stand for an automatic guarantee. We can give Europe assurances of interest but no promise to fight.
A SERIES of deeper questions overshadows that practical difficulty. Considering the inability of America to go to war automatically, does the prospective treaty's capacity for exciting the Soviet Union to countermeasures exceed its ability to strengthen the "West to resist the Soviet Union? Can it bind us to support of reactionary colonialism which strengthens the Soviet's appeal? Since the Dutch would surely be our colleague in the treaty, one may ask whether we would be urged to go to war to save the Dutch from the consequences of some imperialistic stupidity like their attack on the Indonesian Republic. One may ask also whether the draft articles would be fatal for the United Nations, although they are rich in references to that institution. Above all, would the treaty make the cold war a permanent feature of world politics, by treating an insuperable barrier to the eventual establishment of East-West tolerance?
The outline treaty which Lovett handed on to Acheson has a novel feature missing from the useless defense treaties of the past. Following the wartime pattern set by Britain and America in the Combined Chiefs of Staff Committee and adopted by the Brussels treaty powers in their Chiefs of Staff Committee, the treaty would set up a small bureaucracy of international committees, through which the allies could make political and military plans against every conceivable eventuality and adjust themselves jointly to day-to-day developments in international relations. Thus the treaty not only calls upon the signers to support one another in emergencies but to cooperate intimately with one another in peace and war. It implies economic as well as military cooperation, for no chiefs of staff can plan a war without planning the use of the resources available to them.
The treaty is modeled also after the Inter-American Defense Pact signed at Rio de Janeiro in September, 1947. That treaty has a look of strength and the quality of weakness. It provides that "an armed attack by any state against an American state shall be considered an attack against all the American states"—a thesis taken over wholesale for the North Atlantic alliance. Yet no signatory of the Rio pact is required to use armed force without the consent of its national legislature, although the treaty states that decisions reached by two-thirds of the members concerning any breach of the peace are binding. The Rio pact requires its signers to consult, and no more.
LIKE BOTH the Rio and the Brussels treaties, the text of the pending pact states that the alliance depends on the United Nations for its existence. As a regional treaty, its framers invoke Articles 51 and 52 of the UN Charter which authorize member nations to make regional arrangements and set up regional agencies and to defend themselves collectively if attacked. Article 51 exists in the Charter because the United States delegation to the San Francisco Conference in 1945 put it there. Their thoughts dwelt then on the American republics.
But last June in a speech to the Senate, Arthur H. Vandenberg, recommending a regional pact, complained that we had been "too often stranded on the veto rocks" of the United Nations. If the alliance is intended to circumvent the veto power in the Security Council, its sponsors cannot be taking seriously the require and decisions with the Security Council. Actually the Charter makes the old-fashioned defense alliance futile since, to quote the State Department as of 1945, "no enforcement action may be taken under regional arrangements without specific authorization of the Security Council." The alliance can operate only by defining the powers of the UN to suit itself.
THE TREATY DIFFERS from its predecessors also in that it encourages standardization of the weapons of the alliance members and provides for distribution of arms to the members at American expense. Thus it embodies features of lend-lease and the Marshall Plan. A number of Western countries have asked America for weapons during the past year on the ground that inadequate military strength prevents the development of the sense of national confidence encourages investors to put money into capital enterprise and thus get on with the Marshall Plan. Some of the requests, as that of the Norwegians, are certainly sincere.
Yet this military effort to make the Marshall Plan work might harm the plan unless the Administration can control the American economy strictly than it does now. America lacks material to equip her own armed forces at authorized strength. Despite its hullabaloo over the need for an air force of 70 groups, the Air Department is able to arm adequately only 34 of the 55 groups that now comprise it. The need for steel in peacetime industries is so much greater than present production that President Truman, in his message on the State of the Union, threatened the industry with his plan to have the federal government set up steel mills. Congressional approval of the St. Lawrence Seaway agreement and construction of the power plant at International Falls would enable Canada to manufacture some arms for Europe. But the plant would not go into operation for years.
The scarcity of arms gives the European governments with whom the United States has been negotiating the character of heirs to a moderately wealthy man. Each heir hopes the beneficiaries of the legacy will be limited in number. If there is not going to be a mountain of weapons, the Brussels-pact powers want what is available for themselves alone. This again produces conflict. The United States is said to want the membership of the alliance to be wide, to embrace, now at least, the Scandinavian powers (including Iceland, and probably excluding Finland) and Portugal, and perhaps in time to extend over the whole of non-Soviet Europe, taking in Yugoslavia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain (if this can be wangled over the sensibilities of France and the British Labor Party), and Western Germany, besides the countries which have signed the Brussels pact.
To dissuade Norway, Denmark and Sweden from organizing their own regional alliance separate from the North Atlantic pact, the State Department has announced that non-members of the Atlantic alliance will not receive arms. But Washington has been giving planes, tanks, machine guns and artillery for two years to Greece and Turkey without benefit of alliance, and the conclusion of the North Atlantic pact, if it ever is concluded, would not mean cutting off Greeks and Turks without another bullet. Those who get the weapons may be asked to give up bases in return, but at the moment we have rights in Portuguese bases, while we have not given Portugal arms for the Privilege. If America assumed an obligation to furnish every member of the alliance with arms by signing the pact, she could not live up to it. At that point we would have given the Soviet Union justification for the complaint that it was being encircled, without having strengthened ourselves to cope with the policies the USSR might adopt in reprisal.
The belief that the United States should ally itself in a military treaty with Western European powers is a hangover from the war scare last winter and spring which led to the demand for a permanent universal-military-service program, a draft act and big appropriations for the Defense Department. President Truman's new budget, limiting the military agencies to $1.5 billion, has signaled the end of the hysterical period during which Washington seemed to believe that national military power provided the main assurance of national survival. Having rejected that notion at home, we seem to be proffering it abroad.
The Administration began to think seriously of the pact after the Communist coup d'état in Czechoslovakia at the end of last February. Bernard Baruch and John Foster Dulles had proposed such a treaty during the early days of the congressional hearings on the Marshall Plan, and the State Department publicly expressed interest when Ernest Bevin told the House of Commons that the British government intended to negotiate a defense alliance with the Benelux powers and France. That negotiation for a 50-year compact led to the signing of the Brussels Treaty on March 17, the same day President Truman addressed Congress and asked for a peacetime draft in order to give America what Secretary Marshall called a "military posture." Noting the action in Brussels, the President said:
"This development deserves our full support. I am confident that the United States will, by appropriate means, extend to the free nations the support which the situation requires. I am sure that the determination of the free countries of Europe to protect themselves will be matched by an equal determination on our part to help them do so."
The pact thereupon became a dead subject for President Truman until his budget message of last January 10. All others directly concerned with the treaty idea have maintained an attitude of secrecy, with the result that the American public is uninformed and confused about one of the most momentous undertakings in foreign policy which a President and a State Department have ever seriously entertained.
Inspired stories about the pact appeared in a few large papers between March, 1948, and January, 1949. They served only to befog the issue. Those who read the stories grew bored with the subject before it came to a boil, and those who did not read them have not been stirred to excited interest by the State Department's one comprehensive statement on the subject, issued less than a week before the Inaugural Address.
A GOOD DEAL OF ACTIVITY has taken place behind that screen of secrecy, for which the American government is not primarily responsible. Secretary Marshall in the middle of last spring recommended to Senator Vandenberg and his colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that they push through the Senate a resolution encouraging the Administration to negotiate a regional-defense treaty. From the suggestion was born the Vandenberg Resolution, which the Senate passed on June 11 by 64 to 4. The Administration took that vote as America's repudiation of her traditional opposition to balance of power arrangements, but the statements during the debate on the resolution by even the most ardent advocates of regionalism and anti-Sovietism, including Senator Vandenberg, hardly bear such interpretation.
Vandenberg told the Senate that a pact negotiated under the prod of his resolution would not "step outside the final authority of Congress" to declare war. And Senator Henry Cabot Lodge (R, Mass.) said that "the purpose of the resolution is to show that we are in sympathy with the broad trend of strengthening the freedom-loving countries, but it does not commit us to anything definite."
Despite that vagueness, the State Department after June 11 arranged for conversations with Canada and the Brussels powers about ways and means of creating an Atlantic alliance. The Defense Department assigned an observer to the military committee of the Brussels powers, and early in the summer the observer, Major General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, became an active participant in the committee's discussions. After those preliminaries, the serious negotiations began on December 10. On January 14 the State Department admitted the public to the secret with a long argument about the desirability of the pact.
Assuming that the need for armaments in Western Europe is real, the United States could choose between two courses each of which would more effectively keep the peace than a treaty of regional defense, especially a treaty which cannot guarantee American action at the moment a treaty member is imperiled. The heart of the security problem is to find a policy which will enhance security and at the same time provoke the least possible counterpresssure which endangers security. The conclusion of a North Atlantic pact would at once invite the Soviet Union to establish a competing system, probably including China if Communist government becomes supreme there.
THE FIRST alternate course is to distribute weapons from America to individual countries after making agreements for the standardization of arms and after broadening the existing Anglo-American Combined Chiefs of Staff Committee to include representatives of all the arms recipients. That would strengthen our friends Western powers to consult continuously about military problems without formally creating an impervious bloc that would barricade future progress toward the resumption of worldwide cooperation. It substantially safeguards the purpose of the pact without burdening the West with the weaknesses of the pact.
The second alternate course is to negotiate a pact which provides for universal membership, following the recommendation of Hamilton Fish Armstrong, editor of Foreign Affairs. A pact of limited membership would be in effect only an extension of the Truman Doctrine. But a wider instrument would lose the character of a political weapon aimed at some portion of the world. It would stand instead as the foundation for the system of worldwide peace enforcement which the authors of the United Nations Charter intended to create but which they have never been able to achieve.

Rakim Reflects On His Life In Hip-Hop And What Happened With Eric B. Legendary emcee Rakim joins Stretch and Bobbito for a look at his iconic career and life, including reflections on his Islamic faith, the dissolution of his duo with Eric B., and the patience it takes to craft the perfect rhyme.
Rakim Reflects On His Life In Hip-Hop And What Happened With Eric B.
There's a good reason why legendary emcee Rakim is known as "The God" among hip-hop fans and disciples.
He was just a teenager when he first came to prominence as one half of the duo Eric B. & Rakim. Their 1987 debut album, Paid in Full, is often cited as a turning point in the golden age of hip-hop, thanks largely to Rakim's approach to lyricism. He raised the genre to new heights with his uniquely stoic flow and his use of a multi-syllabic rhyming structure that was complex, poetic and infused with meaning.
"Everything was kind of organic, man, for me and Eric B. to do what we did," said Rakim on What's Good. "I was 17 ... I was so young it took me a while to figure out how I wanted to approach hip-hop and let the people know how I wanted to get down."
Rakim would complete four albums with Eric B. before their partnership dissolved amid a business disagreement in 1992 (he'll get into that in the interview). After a brief hiatus, he embarked on a solo career in 1997 that resulted in three albums, The 18th Letter, The Master and The Seventh Seal.
Eric B. and Rakim reunited this year for a series of live dates. Though Rakim hasn't released an album of new material in nearly a decade, his influence on hip-hop permeates the genre to this day.
Rakim joined What's Good hosts Stretch and Bobbito to look back on his iconic career, including reflections on his Islamic faith, the dissolution of his duo with Eric B., and the patience it takes to craft the perfect rhyme.
I can't beat around the bush, because it would sound stupid. We had three more albums left on the contract and Eric B. came up with an idea. He said ... if he'd do a solo joint, I'd do a solo joint, then we get together and do the last joint. Then our contracts would be up, we could negotiate new contracts. Meanwhile, when he'd do the solo joint he'd take all the money for that, when I'd do my solo joint I take all the money for that, get back together new album, new deal. You know, it was money signs. Long story short, Eric B. did his, I signed off and when it was time for me to do mine, he didn't want to sign off. So that caused a lot of problems.
That caused the breakup of Eric B. and Rakim. Again, man, it was business. He felt that if he would have signed for some reason I wasn't going to sign back to the last album. He felt I was going to cut him out for some reason. That was the misunderstanding. I ain't gonna front, man, bitter taste in my mouth for a long time. But like I said, I finally matured on that situation and realized it was bigger than us, so we here right now.
My aunt taught me through her actions, man, know what I mean? She let me know what to look out for and things of that nature, and I learned so much just from being her nephew, and watching and being around her, man... She heard my songs, man, and she was real proud of her nephew. She's real sharp with her craft so she was analyzing what I was doing. She'd tell me she heard a certain song and then she'll tell me I remind her of somebody from back in the days, a jazz artist or a certain way that I was rhyming, she'll tell me the time code, know what I mean? She just loved music, whenever she heard good music, she definitely appreciated it, and she was proud of her nephew.
Deep down I am who I am, if it's rapping, if it's being a father... I still have the same ideologies on life. So [if I were in the NFL] I would've been not only kneeling down, I would have been encouraging my team to take a stand as well. Once I would've started seeing all the turmoil, then of course I would've tried to implement smart ways of bringing consciousness to the situation, man.
I think that's all it is, man. I think with all the craziness that's going on, nobody want to stir the pot, but we gotta make sure that everybody has their justice man, and athletes and musicians and actors, and things of that nature, we have a lot of power. So if we can influence the kids in the neighborhood to stand up, then we should be able to do that no matter what platform it is.

BC Health Strike
The second stage of strike action by members of the Health Sciences Association hits BC hospitals today.
Workers who deliver diagnostic imaging services like x-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds will scale back to essential services as part of an effort to pressure the government to come up with a better contract offer.
Flu policy agreement reached Nov. 30 still stands, despite some employers directives
In spite of an agreement reached between HSA and other health care unions and the Ministry of Health last week, some members continue to get pressure to either produce evidence of vaccination against seasonal influenza, or wear a mask during the flu season, which was declared open December 1.
For members information, at the meeting held between the Ministry of Health, HSA, BCGEU and HEU November 30, the following agreement was reached:
While the policy remains on the books the mandatory provisions of it will not be enforced. This means:
North Island community workers striking in Campbell River and Courtenay on Monday
For immediate release: December 7, 2012
Caring professionals from not-for-profit agencies that support vulnerable families on the North Island will be on strike Monday, December 10.
Community workers want to send a clear message to the B.C. government: stop putting vulnerable families last!
Since 2004, the B.C. Liberal government has cut $300 million in funding for programs that support vulnerable families, the developmentally disabled, at-risk youth, and children and infants in community-based programs across the province.
Surgery, lab tests to be delayed by strike
The Daily Bulletin (Kimberley)
Hospital pharmacists and medical imaging technicians plan to go ahead with brief strikes Thursday and Friday as a mediator attempts to reach a settlement with 16,000 health science employees at hospitals and clinics across B.C.
Health science professionals plan continuation of rotating strikes
Health science professionals began rotating strikes today to put pressure on government to get serious about bargaining a new collective agreement with the Health Science Professionals Bargaining Association (HSPBA).
Mandatory flu shots for health workers delayed; Government temporarily backs away from its original plan
Alberni Valley Times
The B.C. government has temporarily backed away from a controversial plan to force thousands of provincial health workers to get a flu shot before they can work with patients.
Instead of forcing workers to wear a mask or have the mandatory flu vaccination, the B.C. Health Ministry said it will work towards voluntary compliance from workers in the first year of the program.
December 6: Take Action to End Violence Against Aboriginal Women and Girls
On December 6, Canadians will once again pause to remember the importance of taking action against violence against women and girls.
The date was declared by Canadas Parliament in 1991, in commemoration of the December 6, 1989 Montreal Massacre.
International Day of Persons with Disabilities: inclusion for all
On December 3, the world recognizes International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is calling on all levels of government in Canada to make full participation in society for people with disabilities a policy priority.
People with disabilities already make a considerable contribution to our society but they could do so much more if the barriers to their participation are removed.
Breaking the impasse
The Report: December 2012 vol.33 num.4
AFTER NINE MONTHS OF HARD BARGAINING, WE HAVE REACHED AN IMPASSE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW WE GOT HERE.
You have given the bargaining committee a clear mandate: restore competitive wages, protect benefits and protect working conditions, including dealing with workload and call issues. We have spent nine months trying to kick start negotiations and make inroads on these issues.
But HEABC insists there will be no deal without concessions.
We say: absolutely not.
Health science members vote to strike
HEALTH SCIENCE PROFESSIONALS DELIVERED A RESOUNDING 90 PERCENT STRIKE VOTE TO BACK THEIR BARGAINING COMMITTEE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH BC'S HEALTH EMPLOYERS.

Tshinga Dube rescues liberation hero's family
Mashudu Netsianda, Senior Reporter
ZANU-PF Politburo member Retired Colonel Tshinga Dube has chipped in with assistance for the burial of the late liberation war fighter and Cool Crooners music band member Cde Timothy Sekane.
Cde Sekane (84) died on Thursday last week and his family had been struggling to bury him, with the body of the struggle icon reportedly having been stuck at Mpilo Central Hospital mortuary for four days.
The family could not afford to move the body from the mortuary for burial.
Speaking during a Zanu-PF meeting in Bulawayo yesterday, Zanu-PF Secretary for Administration Dr Obert Mpofu said he was saddened by Cde Sekane's death and revealed that Rtd Col Tshinga Dube offered to assist in the burial.
"I learnt with great shock of the passing on of our dear Comrade Sekane. He played a crucial role in the liberation struggle. I am meant to understand that the family had challenges in terms of his burial, but I am happy Cde Tshinga has offered to chip in with the required resources in that regard and I am also pledging to further assist if the need arises," he said.
Cde Sekane was one of the first cadres to be deployed by Zapu, getting his training in Zambia.
He joined the liberation struggle in 1961, crossing the border to join the liberation war effort in Zambia, a country he made his second home, even settling there for 17 years after the country's liberation.
Despite his illustrious struggle history and legendary status as a musician, his daughter Sheilar Sibve (64), revealed to our sister paper Sunday News that they were struggling to bury her father, as they did not have sufficient funds to first take him from the mortuary and deliver him to a suitable funeral parlour.
Cde Sekane, who had severe head burns from his time in the war, died because of chronic anaemia and severe dehydration.
The liberation fighter and musician had fallen ill last month after performing at a show with his beloved Cool Crooners band.
The other members of the Cool Crooners had sought assistance to give him a befitting send-off but failed.
Cde Sekane is survived by a wife and two children. Mourners are gathered at N45 in Mzilikazi suburb in [email protected]

Melanie Shaw Given Two Years Following Secret Court Hearing
Thu 11:40 pm +00:00, 12 Jan 2017 9
| Thursday, 12th January 2017
On Wednesday 11 January 2016, Melanie Shaw, the whistleblower on the horrific abuse of children which occurred at the then county council-run Beechwood Children's Home in Nottinghamshire in the late 1980s, was given a two-year custodial sentence in a secret court hearing.
The nature of the charge against her is unclear and that information is refused when requested of court staff. The case took place late yesterday morning but it did not appear on any court lists until the hearing was past.
Melanie Shaw did not appear in person in court for this hearing, which was conducted by video link from her prison, as has also been the case with previous of her court 'appearances'. She states that without fail, whenever in the past she has given testimony by such video link, she has been cut off on the pretext that "you were shouting", which she denies.
The effect of this is to prevent her testimony from going on the court record, as well as to prevent her as defendant from hearing certain deliberations and assertions being made in the courtroom.
In addition, UK Column News is very confident that at this particular secret hearing, no member of the public was present, and particularly not any of the supporters who have been following Melanie Shaw's case very closely. The public is therefore entirely dependent on any transcripts—accurate and complete or otherwise—which may be produced in order to find out what was said at the hearing.
Time already served by Melanie Shaw in prison on remand, namely 11 months, mostly in solitary confinement, does not appear to have been set against the two-year custodial sentence imposed yesterday.
Melanie Shaw is one of the few child abuse whistleblowers who is prepared to name politicians as having been among the abusers of her fellow inmates, some of whom she asserts were murdered on site at Beechwood. Her reminiscences date from 1987, in which year the Cabinet was constituted of these politicians until the general election that May and of these politicians thereafter. (This does not constitute an allegation by UK Column News that any particular Cabinet minister at the above links was an abuser.)
Melanie Shaw's correspondence address in prison is:
A4126DE
HMP Foston Hall
Uttoxeter Road
DE65 5DN
It is advisable if writing to Melanie Shaw to use a card or light letter containing no stamps, blank paper, return envelopes, money or any other objects. These are highly likely to be confiscated, potentially together with the letter or card itself.
Definition of terms: By "secret court hearing", UK Column News means:
(a) a court hearing not listed until after it took place;
(b) a court hearing whose outcome (i.e. of what alleged crime Melanie Shaw has been convicted) is withheld from the public on request, to the puzzlement of some court staff themselves.
By these two definitions, UK Column News is quite confident in describing Melanie Shaw as a political prisoner.

How little coverage this has got, and likely will get. Small story? Or massive but missed? So much banging on (not a ref. to Tap) about Trump … T… T … while Melanie couldn't be further from. Allegedly no money, claims of current abuse and we're left with uncertainly there's been any transparency and justice – all but probably a few hundred, hear about and concerned. Yet, these seemingly 'minor' oppression's are maybe the more significant issues. Becoming tired of the big stories and grandstands. 'Whatever you do to the least', someone once said.

Free Melanie Shaw – Child Abuse whistleblower

emm jay says:
I share your thoughts/feelings, Mark; one of the good things is that the Americans making a noise about a certain Italian food "gate" are growing in numbers and at some point, people in the UK are going to wake up in the same way.
Things are likely to start hapening more publicly after the inauguration – my understanding is that the doors will finally be opened for the police/military who share our abhorrence for these disgusting crimes and corruption to take action. One thing in Trump's favour is that he is not a satanist.
I wonder who is caring for Melanie's child while she is banged up; another travesty – the number of mothers who get locked up, leaving their children feeling abandoned by the person who theoretically loves them more than anybody else in the world (sadly, not always the case) and vulnerable to the very predators supposed to protect them; nobody should be locked up unless they are a physical danger to other humans or animals.
How can we get others to wake up to all of this because I can't help feeling that if everybody knew about it, there would likely be large numbers of us out on the streets, letting TPTB know in no uncertain terms that we don't consent to be ruled by them.
Can find myself seeing discouraging signs around awaken media take up but clearly noted the uplift over 'that gate'. Reckon it could have been one of the biggest eye openers for new numbers we've seen. The other upshot, the reappraising for some in previously considered overstating and ritual abuse. Yes, Trump 'should' give some insiders permission. I suppose likely to happen as soon as… No surprise then, the fight to halt him getting through the door is so fierce. No, no basis for Satanist etc Trump. Makes no personal sense for this man to give up all that golf and good times to have to work so and hold the fort. And/or blackmailed to act, that/this convincingly? Takes a Teleprompter. Takes proper leaks from a shady – hidden episodes – past. Nevertheless, feeling frail on the hope score and Mr. T.
'How can we get others to wake up to..?' Somewhat stumped but trying not let this get in the way of do-what-can. Like typing this comment/reply. Nothing is nothing, something is… And 'large numbers of us out on the streets' if they, 'knew'? Again, puzzlement and the disconnect. Have some quirky theories but like Johnny C sung, must/most, 'won't back down' and best practice.
hopeless says:
There is an update in the form of a video dated 13th if you follow the link in the original article. If correct its another disturbing addition to her plight. When something that should be impossible or unthinkable becomes (on the surface at least) probable or believable without any surprise then that has got to show bad things really are.
Scotty says:
Maybe printing this post and sending it as a letter to our respective MPs would be worth doing.
We could then be certain that all MPs who receive the letter are actually aware of the case.
I will send my MP a letter on Monday morning.
hermes23 says:
Please explain to me how you know every little detail about this case, every detail about what happened in the court room even how her testimony was heard (via video link apparently) … you know every detail except for the reason she has been arrested. Where is your proof that it is because of what she has come forward with? Please provide evidence.
Tapestry says:
I'll let UKC come up with an answer for you. She is allowed to correspond even though imprisoned. As I understand it, she has not been told the reason for her continuing detention.

It was perhaps a reaction unimagined by Sergeant Damhewage Sarath Hemachandra when he was alive. Posthumously promoted to the rank of Sub - Inspector, Hemachandra was serving the Jaffna High Court Judge Manikkavasagar Ilancheliyan at the time of his death, while working as a close confidante and security officer of the Judge for 15 years.
Hemachandra was over 300 kilometres away from his family in Kumarakattuwa, Chilaw, when the unfortunate incident occurred on July 22 along the Nallur - Point Pedro Road. Shot by a suspect that has now been identified as 39 year old Selvarasa Jeyanthan by the Police, Hemachandra succumbed to his injuries later that night, leaving his wife Kumudu, and two children, a daughter,16, and a son aged 11.
According to initial investigations, the incident had happened upon a personal dispute between the suspect and several other individuals along the Nallur - Point Pedro Road in the vicinity of the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil.
