Born Dec. 9, 1894 in Yankton. 1912 Watertown High School grad. 1916 SDSU grad. Won 16 varsity letters at Watertown and at SDSU he earned 14 more (in track, football, baseball and basketball). Hired by Booker T. Washington to teach and coach at Tuskegee Institute in 1915, Abbott became one of the most respected coaches and athletic directors in the South. His football teams won seven mythical national titles and lost only six games in his first 11 years at Tuskegee. In 32 years as the football coach there, he was 203-96 with nine national titles. From 1923-28 Tuskegee went 46 games without a loss and from '23-31 Tuskegee lost once in 79 games. In women's track, which he coached from 1936-55, his teams were just as impressive, winning 14 national outdoor titles, including eight in a row. Tuskegee athletes won 49 indoor and outdoor individual national titles and a half dozen competed in the Olympics, including gold medal high jumpers Alice Coachman and Mildred McDaniel. Abbott served on the women's committee of the old National AAU and twice was on the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Committee. Abbott was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1996. Along with Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, he is buried in the Tuskegee University Cemetery.

Ahead of the 2019 Presidential election, the Action Alliance, on Monday, reaffirmed its support for the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
The decision was revealed by the National Chairman of the party, Chief Kenneth Udeze, at the press conference which took place at the party's headquarters in Abuja.
He said, "We are for Atiku/Obi leadership and we are glad to work with all believers of true federalism and efficient administration of governance at all levels to accomplish this as we approach the forthcoming elections.
"For your information, AA moved the motion for the adoption of Atiku as the Presidential Candidate of CUPP, and we are on it to the end," he added.
In his statement he revealed that the support for Atiku/Obi was the support for the growth of the country's democracy and the required restructuring of the country.
Udeze, further stated that Ugwunmba Nwosu still remained the governorship candidate of AA in lmo, and he is the one running for the election under the party, not Okorocha.

Ministers have one month to fix the broken test-and-trace system and halt a devastating second wave of coronavirus or Britain will face a "long and bleak winter", Keir Starmer says today.
The Labour leader warned there is "precious little evidence" of serious preparation for a resurgence in Covid-19 cases.
Writing for the Guardian, Starmer calls for mass testing of asymptomatic people and a clear plan setting out what "hard decisions" Boris Johnson is prepared to take in order to keep schools open if cases rise over coming weeks.
Starmer says the prime minister must admit his "world-beating" £10bn system is flawed. "His repeated refusal to accept that test and trace isn't functioning properly is a roadblock to fixing the issues and restoring public confidence," he writes.
The intervention comes as councils launched new localised systems for contact tracing to plug holes in the national scheme. Blackburn with Darwen council in Lancashire announced it had set up its own team on Tuesday after the national system failed to reach hundreds of its most vulnerable residents.
In other areas, including Leicester and Liverpool, council workers have been carrying out door-to-door tracing – but local health officials says incomplete data from the national system is hampering their efforts.
On Tuesday, researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who modelled scenarios for the reopening of schools, warned that the test and trace system currently reaches around half of contacts and needs to improve dramatically in order to avoid a second wave, which could be bigger than the first.
Starmer calls for renewed focus on testing in today's article. "Alongside rapid improvements to the test-and-trace system, we need a focus on ensuring testing reaches more of the estimated 70-80% of people who don't have [coronavirus] symptoms," he writes.
Labour sources highlighted current spare capacity in the testing system, saying the party would support any reasonable new moves to use that capacity to build a better national picture of the number of asymptomatic cases.
A number of countries have adopted routine asymptomatic testing, including
Germany, Portugal and most successfully, South Korea, which opened public testing to everyone, regardless of symptoms, from February.
Starmer is to step up specific criticism of the government's systems this month, both on communication and test and trace, warning the government has less than five weeks, rather than months, to get preparations in place to tackle a resurgence of the virus once children across the UK are all back in school.
A functioning test-and-trace system is the key not only to preventing a second wave, but also to unlocking the economy and building public confidence to get children back to school, Labour will warn.
"It's great if the government are committed to getting the schools open, but polling on this hasn't shifted: parents are still concerned about sending their kids to school, that won't change without public confidence in the test-and-trace system," one Labour source said.
In his Guardian piece, Starmer says schools must be the absolute priority in September, even if that comes at economic and social cost. "Young people cannot afford another damaging U-turn like the one made by the education secretary in June," he writes. "The government must set out a clear plan this time, not just hope for the best. If that means making hard decisions elsewhere, so be it: to govern is to choose."
The Labour leader attacked the government's communications strategy, saying haphazard announcements of new local lockdowns and quarantines, as well as mixed messages on workers returning to offices, had left the public confused and anxious.
"Getting a grip on communications is essential. Reintroducing regular press conferences would help," he says. "Working closely with authorities, not governing by diktat, is crucial. There should be an end to anonymous, contradictory briefings to the media." Starmer's last comment is a veiled reference to ideas floated and then dismissed such as shielding advice for over-50s and reform of the quarantine system.
Labour's strategy over the coming month will be to present Starmer as a leader who can work constructively but also set the government specific targets. He warns a new plan must be drawn up to protect care homes during any resurgence of the virus and calls for a redrawing of the furlough scheme to target specific industries.
"The current one-size-fits-all removal of furlough risks a squeeze on jobs that could hand a P45 to people across the country," he says, while also criticising the government for spending "untargeted billions on bonuses for companies who have already brought workers back from furlough, and a stamp duty cut for landlords".
Starmer, who will visit the lost Labour heartland of Stoke-on-Trent on Wednesday to hammer home his message on the need to protect jobs, said he would support any moves the government took in the coming months to improve the failures he had highlighted.
"This crisis is bigger than politics. But the reality is that if the government doesn't use this summer wisely, focusing on driving down the rate of infection, Britain faces a long and bleak winter."
A government spokesperson said it backed local action to tackle outbreaks, such as the steps taken in Blackburn, but stopped short of promising any imminent further expansion of testing to find asymptomatic cases.
The Department of Health and Social Care said the most recent scientific advice did not support routine testing to find a symptomatic cases and found regular testing of those without symptoms was only worthwhile among groups most likely to have been exposed to the virus, such as in care settings.
"NHS test and trace is already working – last week over 80% of those testing positive were reached, with over 75% of their contacts reached as well," the spokesperson said. "We have rapidly built, from scratch, the largest diagnostic testing industry in British history. Over 2.6 million people have been tested in just eight weeks and we have the capacity to carry out more than 330,000 tests per day, growing to 500,000 per day by the end of October."

Amygdalar Axo-Axonal Synapses Cover Spike-Initiating Zones
Judit M. Veres, Gergö Attila Nagy, Viktória Krisztina Vereczki, Tibor Andrási, and Norbert Hájos
(see pages 16194–16206)
GABAergic inhibition not only can suppress spiking of postsynaptic cells, it can also influence when spikes occur, thus contributing to synchronization. Axo-axonal cells (AACs), which primarily target axon initial segments (AISs), may have a particularly strong influence over principal cell firing. AACs in the basolateral amygdala fire in response to noxious stimuli and might play a role in fear conditioning. Because of their potential importance, Veres et al. delved deeper into the structure and function of amygdalar AAC synapses. Each AAC made 2–16 inhibitory synapses with the AIS of principal neurons, and the average number of inhibitory inputs to an AIS was 52, suggesting each principal neuron receives input from 4–10 AACs. Most synaptic boutons were located 20–40 μm from the soma, closely overlapping with the region of highest sodium channel density. As predicted, evoking spike bursts in AACs was sufficient to greatly reduce the probability of postsynaptic cell spiking and could delay spiking for up to 27 ms.
Axon terminal cartridges of axo-axonic cells (yellow) form around axon initial segments (blue) of principal neurons in mouse basolateral amygdala. See the article by Veres et al. for details.

Failure of Astrocytic Glutamate Uptake Might Cause Depression
Wanpeng Cui, Hiroaki Mizukami, Michiko Yanagisawa, Tomomi Aida, Masatoshi Nomura, et al.
Many antidepressant treatments target monoamine signaling, which is often disrupted in depressed people. This disruption may stem from hyperactivity in the lateral habenula (LHb), which regulates monoaminergic midbrain nuclei: increased habenular activity has been reported not only in patients with major depression, but also in animal models. What causes habenular hyperactivity is unknown, but reduced glutamate uptake by astrocytes might be a factor. Indeed, reduced expression of a glial glutamate transporter (SLC1A2) has been reported in patients with major depressive disorder and allelic variation in SLC1A2 is associated with suicide attempts. Moreover, Cui et al. found that inhibiting the homolog of SLC1A2 (GLT-1) in mouse LHb increased firing rate of LHb neurons, increased activation in downstream GABAergic neurons, and reduced activation of those neurons' serotonergic and dopaminergic targets. In addition, inhibiting habenular GLT-1 produced depression-related behavior. Knocking out GLT-1 selectively in habenular astrocytes also increased spiking of LHb neurons and produced depression-like phenotypes that were reversed by an antidepressant serotonin-reuptake inhibitor.
Social Interaction Improves Cognitive Performance in Mice
Ya-Hsin Hsiao, Hui-Chi Hung, Shun-Hua Chen, and Po-Wu Gean
Social isolation during aging increases the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD); similarly, isolation reduces cognitive performance in AD-model mice. In contrast, Hsiao et al. found that housing 6-month-old AD-model mice with younger "helper" mice for 3 months improved contextual fear memory, and mice that performed better on the fear memory task also performed better on spatial learning, memory, and recognition tasks. These memory improvements were correlated with the amount of interaction between mice in a short-term interaction test: memory performance did not improve if helper mice showed minimal interaction with AD mice. The memory-enhancing effects of social interaction were attributable in part to increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and associated increases in neurogenesis during the co-housing period. Knocking down Bdnf, inhibiting stem cell proliferation, or selectively killing neurons generated during co-housing blocked improvements in memory performance. In contrast, overexpressing Bdnf increased neurogenesis and improved fear memory in AD mice co-housed with helpers that showed low levels of social interaction.
Neurobiology of Disease
Traumatic Brain Injury Disrupts the Glymphatic System
Jeffrey J. Iliff, Michael J. Chen, Benjamin A. Plog, Douglas M. Zeppenfeld, Melissa Soltero, et al.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) increases the risk for developing dementia and causes intracellular accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau—a feature of several neurodegenerative diseases. How TBI produces these effects is unclear, but disruption of the glymphatic system—a network of channels that lie between blood vessels and astrocytic endfeet—may be a factor. Analogous to the peripheral lymphatic system, the glymphatic system carries CSF through interstitial spaces and clears extracellular waste. Iliff et al. found that, in mice, TBI slowed the movement of CSF from the subarachnoid space into the brain parenchyma and slowed clearance of injected solutes for at least 4 weeks. Knocking out aquaporin-4, a channel protein that localizes to astrocytic endfeet and is important for glymphatic function, exacerbated the effects of TBI: it further reduced solute clearance, increased interstitial and intraneuronal accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated tau (which was cleared via the glymphatic system in healthy mice), increased axonal degeneration, and worsened performance on motor and cognitive tests.

Tallkrogsplan är ett torg och en park i stadsdelen Tallkrogen i södra Stockholm. Området utgör Tallkrogens centrum och togs i bruk 1943.

Förortscentrum

Kring platsen finns ett litet förortscentrum som började byggas redan under andra världskriget. Den äldsta delen invigdes 1943. Fram till 30 september 1950 passerade här buss 75 med släpvagn var 4:e minut på sin rutt Skanstull – Hökarängen. Busslinjen ersattes 1 oktober 1950 med tunnelbanans linje 18 Slussen – Hökarängen.

Med sitt läge strax norr om Tallkrogens tunnelbanestation var det tänkt att det lilla centrumet skulle täcka Tallkrogsbornas behov av närservice. Där inrättades ett postkontor, två färghandlare, en järnhandel, en tobaksaffär, en sybehörs-, fisk- och blomsteraffär. På hörnet låg Gahlins konditori och det fanns även en cykelaffär, en radioservice, en skoaffär, en herrfrisering och en damfrisering samt en godisaffär.

Gatan utformades som en avlång slinga med en liten park i mitten. Kvarteren kring torget fick namn som Mjödet, Vinet, Mumman och Ölet och byggnaderna ritades i början av 1940-talet av arkitekten Edvin Engström. I norra sidan av torget uppfördes 1951 att fristående rött tegelhus som vänder sin höga gavel mot parken (adress Tallkrogsplan 90). Byggnaden avviker från den övriga bebyggelsen och ritades av arkitekttrion Ancker-Gate-Lindegren.

Strax söder om tunnelbanestationen, intill Victor Balcks väg, fanns även två mataffärer uppförda för Kooperativa Förbundet och Nilssons. Nilssons butik inhyste sedermera en motorsågsaffär och ersattes år 2009 av ett nybyggt bostadshus, medan ursprungshuset i Gymnasten 1 finns kvar. Det uppfördes åren 1934–1936 av KF med KFAI:s chefsarkitekt Eskil Sundahl som ansvarig. Ibland visades film i en liten lokal på Hägervägen 19. Numera har de flesta butikslokalerna vid Tallkrogsplan bytt innehavare och verksamhet. Av de ursprungliga butikerna återstod år 2015 bara damfriseringen.

Konst
En skulptur i gotländsk marmor pryder den öppna planen mellan huslängorna. Den kallas Vårt behov av tröst och är ett verk av skulptören Sven Lundqvist och restes 1976. Den står i mittplanteringen som också rymmer ett antal parkbänkar.

Marguerite de Prusse (en allemand : Margarethe von Preußen), princesse de Prusse puis, par son mariage, landgravine de Hesse-Cassel, est née le  à Potsdam, en Prusse, et morte à Kronberg im Taunus, en Allemagne de l'Ouest, le . Fille du Kaiser Frédéric III d'Allemagne et épouse du landgrave Frédéric-Charles de Hesse-Cassel, c'est une princesse allemande élevée au rang de reine de Finlande durant les dernières semaines de la Première Guerre mondiale.

Biographie

Enfance

Dernière enfant du futur Frédéric III d'Allemagne et de la princesse royale Victoria du Royaume-Uni, Marguerite voit le jour au Nouveau Palais de Potsdam deux après que son grand-père soit devenu le premier empereur allemand sous le nom de Guillaume . Par son père, elle est donc la petite-fille du Kaiser et d'Augusta de Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, tandis que, par sa mère, elle descend de la reine Victoria du Royaume-Uni et du prince consort Albert de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha.

Sa marraine est la princesse héritière d'Italie Marguerite de Savoie et son parrain est l'empereur Pierre II du Brésil. Au moment de son baptême, l'enfant a sur la tête une fine couverture de cheveux qui fait penser à de la mousse (« moss », en anglais) et sa famille décide donc de la surnommer « Mossy ».

La princesse grandit dans une atmosphère privilégiée et formelle. Comme ses sœurs Victoria et Sophie, Marguerite est très attachée à ses parents, et particulièrement à sa mère. Les petites filles forment donc un groupe quelque peu opposé à celui de leurs trois aînés, les princes Guillaume et Henri et la princesse Charlotte, beaucoup plus proches, quant à eux, de leurs grands-parents paternels. Marguerite est unanimement considérée comme la plus populaire des sœurs de Guillaume II, et entretient de bonnes relations avec la majorité des membres de sa famille. Elle est réputée ressembler à sa tante la princesse Alice du Royaume-Uni.

Mariage

Adolescente, Marguerite s'amourache du prince Max de Bade mais, celui-ci ne ressentant aucune attirance pour la princesse, elle finit par se tourner vers un cousin issu de germains, fils de la princesse Anne de Prusse, qui se convertira au catholicisme en 1901, et du landgrave Frédéric de Hesse-Cassel, le prince Frédéric-Charles de Hesse-Cassel, dont la famille a été dépossédée de ses états par les Hohenzollern après la Guerre austro-prussienne de 1866 mais réconciliée et dédommagée quelques années plus tard par un accord entre les deux Maisons. Initialement, Guillaume II est opposé à cette union, considérant Frédéric-Charles comme un prince mineur, indigne de la sœur de l'empereur, mais il finit par donner sa bénédiction, qualifiant Marguerite "d'insignifiante".

Le couple s'unit au château de Berlin le , jour anniversaire du mariage de Frédéric III et de Victoria.

À l'époque, Frédéric-Charles n'est pas encore le chef de la Maison de Hesse-Cassel et c'est son frère aîné, le landgrave Alexandre-Frédéric, qui détient ce titre. Cependant, ce dernier renonce à ses prérogatives en 1925 afin de pouvoir épouser une roturière.

La forte personnalité de la princesse contraste avec la nature beaucoup plus discrète de son époux, mais leur mariage est très  heureux et donne naissance à six garçons :
 Frédéric-Guillaume de Hesse-Cassel (1893-1916), prince de Hesse-Cassel ;
 Maximilien de Hesse-Cassel (1894-1914), prince de Hesse-Cassel ;
 Philippe de Hesse-Cassel (1896-1981), jumeau de Wolfgang, chef de la Maison unifiée de Hesse et Obergruppenfürher dans la S.A, qui épouse en 1925 la princesse Mafalda d'Italie (1902-1944) ;
 Wolfgang de Hesse-Cassel (1896-1989), jumeau de Philippe, prince de Hesse-Cassel, qui épouse en 1924 la princesse Marie-Alexandra de Bade (1902-1944), avant de se remarier en 1948 à Ottilie Moeller (1903-1991) ;
 Richard de Hesse-Cassel (1901-1969), prince de Hesse ;
 Christophe de Hesse-Cassel (1901-1943), jumeau de Richard, prince de Hesse-Cassel, qui épouse en 1930 la princesse Sophie de Grèce (1914-2001).

Au début de leur mariage, Marguerite et Frédéric-Charles vivent au château de Rumpenheim mais, en 1901, la princesse hérite de sa mère du château de Kronberg (anciennement Schloss Friedrichshof) et c'est là que le couple s'installe. À l'époque, il n'est pas très conventionnel qu'un mari établisse sa résidence chez son épouse. Cependant, en héritant du palais de sa mère, Marguerite s'engage à le maintenir en état, ce qui représente une dépense importante pour le couple. Par mesure d'économie, le couple choisit donc d'en faire sa résidence principale.

Première Guerre mondiale
Lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, la princesse Marguerite perd ses deux fils aînés, Frédéric-Guillaume et Maximilien, tous deux morts au combat.

Maximilien, son fils préféré, est grièvement blessé le , alors qu'il sert dans les Flandres. Il meurt peu de temps après et son corps est enterré secrètement par les habitants du village de Caëstre, quand ceux-ci apprennent qu'il est le neveu du Kaiser. Par la suite, le prêtre du village refuse d'indiquer la tombe du prince aux Allemands avant que ceux-ci aient libéré la Belgique et payé une compensation pour leurs dégâts. Le prince Wolfgang, frère puiné de Maximilien, fait alors appel aux autorités britanniques pour qu'elles servent d'intermédiaire entre la famille et les villageois. Une enquête est menée et les habitants finissent par rendre la dépouille du prince à ses parents.

Le prince Frédéric-Guillaume meurt quant à lui le  à Kara Orman, en Roumanie. Tué lors d'un combat rapproché, sa gorge est perforée par la baïonnette d'un soldat ennemi.

Reine de Finlande
Quelque temps avant la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, en 1918, le prince Frédéric-Charles accepte la couronne de Finlande que lui propose son beau-frère l'empereur. Mais, la défaite du Reich face aux Alliés pousse le prince à renoncer au trône avant même que lui et son épouse se soient rendus dans leur royaume.

Si elle avait réellement régné, Marguerite aurait alors succédé à sa cousine germaine la tsarine de Russie Alix de Hesse-Darmstadt, qui portait entre autres titres celui de grande-duchesse de Finlande.

Régime nazi
Pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, deux des fils survivants de Marguerite intègrent le parti nazi, dans l'espoir qu'Adolf Hitler restaure un jour la monarchie en Allemagne. Marguerite elle-même invite Adolf Hitler à prendre le thé à Friedrichshof, et brode la svastika.

Ayant épousé la princesse Mafalda d'Italie, fille du roi Victor-Emmanuel III, le prince Philippe de Hesse-Cassel sert d'intermédiaire entre l'Italie fasciste et l'Allemagne nazie. Mais, lorsque le roi d'Italie se retourne contre l'Allemagne en 1943, Philippe est arrêté et interné dans un camp de prisonniers politiques tandis que son épouse est envoyée à Buchenwald, où elle meurt bientôt d'une hémorragie.

De son côté, le prince Christophe de Hesse-Cassel soutient vigoureusement l'effort de guerre de l'Allemagne au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Mais, après la bataille de Stalingrad, il se plaint du rôle médiocre qui lui est attribué dans l'armée et devient de plus en plus critique vis-à-vis du commandement militaire. Lorsque les nazis se retournent contre sa famille, il est sur le point de quitter le parti nazi mais il meurt dans un accident aérien avant d'avoir le temps de le faire.

Déjà endeuillée par les décès successifs de ses fils, Marguerite a également la douleur de perdre l'une de ses belles-filles. La princesse Marie-Alexandra de Bade, épouse du prince Wolfgang, meurt en effet pendant un bombardement aérien à Francfort, dans la nuit du  au . Réfugiée dans une cave avec sept autres femmes venues effectuer un travail social dans la ville, elle est écrasée sous le poids du bâtiment, ce qui laisse son corps à peine reconnaissable.

Dans ces conditions difficiles, la princesse Marguerite joue le rôle de pilier familial pour les Hesse-Cassel et c'est elle qui doit prendre soin de plusieurs de ses petits-enfants durant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Vol des bijoux de la maison de Hesse-Cassel

Le retour à la paix amène de nouvelles difficultés dans la vie de Marguerite. En , les soldats américains qui occupent Kronberg dérobent les bijoux de la maison de Hesse-Cassel, évalués à plus de deux millions de livres. De fait, une fois l'Allemagne vaincue, le château est utilisé comme club d'officiers par les autorités militaires américaines et le prince Wolfgang, craignant pour la sécurité du patrimoine de sa famille, décide de garder les joyaux des Hesse-Cassel dans un cellier du château. Mais, le , la directrice du club, le capitaine Kathleen Nash, découvre les bijoux et les subtilise avec l'aide de son futur mari, le colonel Jack Durant, et l'un de leurs amis, le major David Watson. Les bijoux sont ensuite transférés hors d'Allemagne et revendus.

Début 1946, Marguerite découvre le vol alors qu'elle cherche les bijoux qu'elle souhaite porter à l'occasion du remariage de sa belle-fille, la princesse Sophie de Grèce, avec le prince Georges-Guillaume de Hanovre. Marguerite et sa belle-fille dénoncent alors le vol aux autorités de Francfort et une enquête est menée. Les coupables sont découverts mais leur arrestation n'a pas lieu avant  et la Maison de Hesse ne retrouve qu'un dixième des bijoux volés.

Disparition
Dernière enfant du Kaiser Frédéric III d'Allemagne et de son épouse, Marguerite meurt à l'âge de 81 ans, à Friedrichshof le , vingt-deux ans après son époux et exactement cinquante-trois ans après sa grand-mère, la reine Victoria du Royaume-Uni.

This paper reviews the wide range of options available to municipalities in the South to alleviate or reduce poverty. This includes options for employment creation and improving low income groups' access to justice and protection from crime as well as improvements to urban services such as water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, public transport, health care and education. The paper also outlines how municipal action must encourage and support the activities of community based organizations, NGOs and the private sector in contributing to such improvements and describes how changes in the regulatory framework for land management, urban agriculture and housing can also contribute to poverty alleviation.

Town of Vail to weigh plastic-bag ban at Oct. 21 meeting
The Vail Town Council will determine the level of interest in considering an ordinance that would ban the use of plastic bags at Vail's two grocery stores at its evening meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21. The discussion is listed fifth on the meeting agenda which begins at 6 p.m. in the Vail Town Council Chambers with opportunities for public comment.
The topic of a plastic-bag ban was first identified in 2009 with Town Council adoption of the Town of Vail Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan and the Colorado Association of Ski Towns Reusable Bag Challenge. The Environmental Strategic Plan commits the town to reducing waste, reducing energy and carbon emissions, and ensuring that the natural environment, specifically air and water quality are improved, and that public education is increased. Included in the plan are goals to reduce waste by 25 percent and greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2020.
To date, the plan has served as a catalyst for numerous initiatives, including the town's energy conservation and renewable energy projects, fuel reductions, public education, water quality, green events and the community wide recycling ordinance which became effective on July 1.
A white paper was prepared in 2013 by the town's environmental sustainability staff that included an analysis of the consumption reduction benefits of a ban on plastic bags in Vail. As a follow up, the Town Council directed staff to seek community feedback on the plastic bag issue as a whole and to gauge public opinion on it and other strategies to reduce consumption. Since then, several surveys have been fielded showing the general pulse of the community. The collective results show a mix of mostly favorable and some less favorable or neutral support.
During Tuesday's discussion, Kristen Bertuglia, the town's environmental sustainability manager, will provide an update on the past information-gathering efforts and a comparison of bag policies in other communities which include bans in Aspen, Carbondale, Breckenridge and Telluride. She'll also present a recommendation to consider passage of an ordinance that would address a reduction in the use of disposable bags incrementally in Vail. The draft ordinance proposes to ban the use of plastic bags at Vail's two grocery stores in West Vail and add a ten-cent fee for the use of paper bags at the two stores. Most of the revenue collected from the bag fee would be used for environmental education and waste reduction programs by the town with a smaller portion of the fee to be retained by the grocery stores for administration purposes.
The white paper from 2013 and other staff research documents along with the draft plastic bag ordinance are accessible on the town's website at vailgov.com. To comment in advance of the meeting, email the Vail Town Council at towncouncil@vailgov.com. Should the Town Council direct staff to add the ordnance to a future meeting agenda, additional opportunities for public comment would be available upon two readings of the ordinance. For more information, contact Bertuglia at 970-477-3455 or email kbertuglia@vailgov.com.

LatAm List – September was a record month for the rapidly expanding tech ecosystem in Latin America. The recent spate of deals including an investment into delivery company Rappi and the recent acquisition of Cornershop have made international headlines and are proving that the region's startups are ready to scale.
Here are the four standout deals of September, plus four deals you might have missed.
Rappi became Colombia's first unicorn after receiving a US$200M investment from DST Global and previous investors, Andreesen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital. The delivery app was founded in 2015 and was the first Latin American company to enter Y Combinator. With a US$1B valuation under its belt, Rappi is conquering new markets across Latin America and dominating the competitive last-mile delivery industry in the region.
Mexican e-scooter company Grin raised the biggest seed round in the history of the region, closing with over US$28M from Monashees, 500 Startups, and others. Following in a growing trend that has taken over China, the US, and Brazil, Grin was also accepted into Y Combinator and became one of the top ten startups from the accelerator. Grin was one of six Latin American startups to enter the most recent Y Combinator batch, alongside BrainHi, Fintual, and Ubits.
Brazilian e-scooter startup Yellow, founded by the founders of 99Taxis, raised US$63M in the largest Series A round ever. After being founded in 2017, Yellow has grown extremely quickly in one of Latin America's largest markets.
Cornershop, a Mexican-Chilean grocery delivery app founded by the founders of Groupon Latin America, was acquired by Walmart for US$225M to integrate the delivery logistics with the corporation's growing interest in e-commerce. This massive exit shows that Latin American startups are now scaling at Silicon Valley speeds and opens the potential for higher valuations in the future.
While these four deals broke records for the Latin American ecosystem, they overshadowed several smaller acquisitions and investments that prove the underlying dynamism of Latin America's tech ecosystem.
Chile's insurance comparison platform, ComparaOnline, acquired its much smaller Colombian competitor, ComparaMejor, to streamline its entry into the Colombian market. The Chilean platform received a Series C investment from Bamboo Capital and the IFC last year, which helped fund this acquisition.
Mexican apartment-sharing platform, DadaRoom, was acquired by US counterpart, Roomi, for an undisclosed sum in early September. Founded in 2012, DadaRoom received funding from Wayra and Start-Up Chile to help it grow to over 800,000 users across dozens of cities in Latin America.
China also continues to edge its way into the Latin American ecosystem, through corporate and government investments. Brazilian iPhone resale platform, Trocafone, received US$3M from Pedralbes Partners and Chinese resale market leader, Aihuishou. Latin America is a key market for Chinese companies who can easily draw parallels between the development paths of the two regions.
Brazilian drone startup, Horus, recently raised over US$2M on a crowdfunding platform, the largest sum ever raised via crowdfunding in Brazil. Horus uses drone technology to map agricultural territory and help farmers make smarter decisions about their land by accessing the information through their smartphones.
The Latin American startup ecosystem is reaching an inflection point, demonstrated by September's flurry of record-breaking deals. These massive exits, along with the smaller deals within the ecosystem, are a sign that Latin American tech is rapidly maturing, allowing regional startups to have a global reach.

Plusbus is a scheme allowing rail travellers to add bus travel at either the beginning or end of their journey for less than it would normally cost on local services. The ticket costs a set amount each day on top of your rail fare and some tickets cost as little as £1. What's more, railcard discounts also apply!
Use the Plusbus map to see if the scheme's operating in your area.
This one appears to have passed under the radar.
Rail passengers can combine a discounted zonal bus ticket at the start and/or the end of their journey with a scheme called PLUSBUS.
For example, you can travel to Birmingham by train and benefit from unlimited bus travel, for a whole day, for just £1.50. A single cash fare probably costs more than that! Most PLUSBUS tickets are £2.00 or less and Railcard discounts also apply. You can even use PLUSBUS on Sheffield trams, but not on trams in Blackpool. Tickets are available for most cities and towns in the UK.
Rail season ticket holders can also add discounted bus travel to their ticket, there are no peak time restrictions with PLUSBUS.
All times are GMT. The time now is 1:40 AM.


After reading news and blogs- Foster Carers 'traditional or professional' everyone has an opinion it seems, however we spend more time with, know more about and give more to individual children in need than all the other professions put together.
So what's it really like Fostering – it's something you know in your heart that you want to make a difference. It's about determination, challenging the system, being in it for the long haul and believing in the child and nothing prepares you or your family for the life changing journey ahead.
It is different from parenting your own children; it's true, children left at home for far too long, they are more in need than ever because of cutbacks in every sector, yet Foster Carers remain strong and carry on giving love and warmth.
Today you need to be highly skilled to look after the most vulnerable children in society Foster carers were traditional carers, mainly Man went to work Woman stayed at home and did the fostering- some of those are still fostering today – they have good parenting skills but they can't work a computer, they don't have academic skills that are now required by the authorities to pass your annual review and so they're being pushed out of the profession or frozen out from taking further children. Today you are required to be a professional -except by name, expected to implement care plans, trained, supervised and accountable and having to adhere to strict policy.
My thoughts are – most important in all this is the wellbeing of the child, but equally Foster carers need to be supported, so I am for the introduction of a Central Register as it would bring a level of professionalism currently absent from fostering.

The War On Christmas: New York Style
Christmas debate at Manhasset tree lighting
BY CAROL EISENBERG
When the Rev. Nick Zientarski invoked the name of Jesus Christ during his traditional blessing of the official Christmas tree lighting in Manhasset last week, he had no idea he had signed on as a soldier in the culture wars over Christmas.
Even as he spoke, the Roman Catholic priest said he could hear North Hempstead Supervisor Jon Kaiman angrily objecting behind him, "this is inappropriate." Then, Kaiman got up and told the crowd, "I just want to make it clear that this is in no way a religious ceremony."
A collective gasp came from the 200 adults and children gathered around the gazebo across from Town Hall. Nothing has been the same since in this well-heeled community that counts at least a dozen houses of worship in about 2 square miles.
"I have to tell you that Manhasset is in an uproar" over Kaiman's remarks, said Christine Roberts, who is Jewish and attended the ceremony with her two sons. "It really was the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. There is a lot of hostility going around. Angry letters to the editor of the local paper. Angry conversations. Insanity has absolutely overtaken this town."
John Kiggins, owner of Manhasset Sporting Goods, was so angry with the "disrespectful" way Kaiman treated the priest that he sent him a furious e-mail. "Manhasset is a predominantly Christian town and it's a conservative town," said Kiggins, a parishioner at St. Mary's, where Zientarski is a priest. "There's a certain number of us who believe that if we're celebrating Christmas, then call it Christmas and recognize that we're celebrating the birth of Christ. And the event was billed as a Christmas tree lighting. Had it not been billed that way, I probably wouldn't have gone."
A week later, despite public mea culpas from a white-faced Kaiman at a meeting Wednesday night and, again, in a letter to the editor in yesterday's Manhasset Press, angry constituents are still calling and sending letters. Some did not even witness the event, but heard about it through a widely disseminated e-mail from the priest.
[....]
Kaiman, who is Jewish, said that his reaction to the blessing had nothing to do with his own faith, but related to his concern the town might be perceived as sponsoring a sectarian religious event. He said he has apologized to the priest as well as to St. Mary's pastor.
Zientarski, for one, said he accepts that apology. He sent out a second e-mail yesterday, noting Kaiman's effort to mend fences. "He definitely recognizes the offense he committed and he's truly sorry," the priest said. "As Catholics, we want to offer forgiveness and give people a second chance."
Still, Zientarski issued a call to arms to everyone on his e-mail list to defend Christmas. "Call your stores and encourage them to say, 'Merry Christmas' (and Happy Hannukah too)," he wrote. "Look for those Nativity scenes! We should all be proud to be Christians who believe in the Lord, Our Savior, and we should encourage ALL faiths to be people of 'faith,' not 'holidays' and the secular."
(emphasis added) I wasn't going to comment on this, but it appears that this has gotten a bit of a visceral reaction from my gut.
OK, Christians???? Gather round. Take a knee.
The time has come to admit something to ourselves: we don't own or run the world. Moreover, we don't own the public square. It's a holiday ceremony, featuring a pagan symbol co-opted by medieval Christians as a decoration, commemorating...what, precisely?
Our Lord's birth? He was born in a fucking desert, not the Ardene forest.
Grow up. Maybe the town supervisor's reaction was over the top, but Manhasset is ALSO home to a significant Jewish population, many of whom attended that ceremony. And Hannukkah is nearly as important in the Jewish faith as Jesus' birth is in the Christian (keeping a clear eye on the fact that it is Easter that defines Christianity, for without that, Jesus is just another wacko Jewish prophet running around Galilee).
Can we PLEASE grow up now? It's only been two thousand fucking years!

10 Quick Facts about Beer
Because we all enjoy a cold one
1. It is ancient.

Numerous civilizations have a written history of preparing drinks similar to beer. It did not originate with the Romans as is commonly believed. The Chinese mention a drink known as "kui" going as far back as 7,000 BCE. The first concrete evidence of a drink made out of barley which would, most likely, taste similar to our modern beer comes from 3500 BC in ancient Mesopotamia. It is likely that primitive versions of beer existed even further than that, dating all the way back to the Neolithic period.
2. Babylonians took it seriously.
Perhaps no other ancient civilization enjoyed beer more than the Babylonians. In the Code of Hammurabi, there are three laws pertaining to beer. One of them (Law 108) specifies that a (female) tavern keeper must accept corn as payment for drink and that the penalty for cheating customers was death by drowning.
3. During the Middle Ages, people drank more beer than water because it was safer…maybe.
Water carried many diseases as there were little to no purification methods. The process for making beer, however, eliminated many harmful microorganisms. That's, at least, the theory behind this idea. Now it's looking like this might be an oft-repeated myth that we believe because it sounds very plausible.
4. It creates a phobia (not really).
There is this fact going around the web that cenosillicaphobia is the fear of an empty glass. It's not actually recognized as a real phobia, but it's ok if you pretend that it exists so you can order another round.
5. The Czech Republic drinks the most beer with 143 liters annually per person.

It is followed by Germany, Austria, Estonia and Poland with 110, 108, 104 and 100 liters per capita, respectively. The United States is 14th with 77 liters per capita.
6. It can get pretty strong.
A Scottish brewery named Brewmeister holds the record for making the strongest beer in the world. It's called Snake Venom and it has a 67.5% alcoholic content. Before it existed, the previous record was held by Armageddon, a "meager" 65% ABV beer made by the same brewery.
7. Oktoberfest doesn't celebrate the harvest.

Nowadays, Oktoberfest is used as a great excuse to have a festival with lots of beer. Some might claim that it is actually a celebration of the harvest, but it didn't start out like that. It was actually to celebrate the marriage of Ludwig I, King of Bavaria, to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in 1810.
8. Have you ever drank Oktoberfest Beer?
Speaking of the festival, it also has its own special beer which is actually a registered trademark. Not just anyone can make Oktoberfest Beer. It needs to have a minimum Stammwürze of 13.5%. If you're wondering what Stammwürze is, it's a brewing measurement that reflects the amount of extract in a pitched wort. Furthermore, the beer must be brewed within the city limits of Munich since that is where the original festival is held. By those criteria, only six breweries can actually make Oktoberfest Beer: Paulaner, Lowenbrau, Hacker-Pschorr-Brau, Augustiner-Brau, Spatenbrau and Staatliches Hofbrau-Munchen.
9. There are two craters named Beer.
One is on the Moon and one is on Mars. Both are actually named after German astronomer Wilhelm Beer and have nothing to do with the drink.
10. Beer lovers occasionally get political.
There is a Beer-Lovers Party officially registered in several countries. It started in Poland in 1990 as a satirical political party but it quickly gained steam and registered officially. It even garnered nearly 3% of the votes during the 1991 Parliamentary elections. Afterwards several other countries formed their own Beer-Lovers Parties including Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

Ombudsman asking about the age of the Fornalutx bull-run tradition
2016-09-08 Palma	By Majorca Daily Bulletin reporter
The bull-run took place in Fornalutx last week. But how old is the tradition?
02-09-2016Miquel Angel Cañellas
Concepción Ferrer, who is the assistant "Defensor del Pueblo" (Ombudsman), had asked Fornalutx town hall to supply as a matter of urgency information regarding the age of the "correbou" bull-run. This tradition during the Fornalutx fiestas is practised under Balearic law as it is said to be treated as an "exemption" to a prohibition on the use of animals because of its history.
The request was in fact dated 31 August, and the bull-run was held two days later. It was made following a complaint to the Ombudsman by the national association for the protection and welfare of animals (ANPBA). The association contacted the Ombudsman as there was silence on behalf of the town hall when the association asked it for information pertaining to the bull-run in January and April this year. It was wanting to have access to documentation that shows that the bull-run had been happening in an uninterrupted way for at least 100 years when the Balearic animal protection law came into effect in 1992.
The association suspects that the lack of response from the town hall is because it cannot demonstrate that the bull-run has taken place year after year since 1892. It suggests, therefore, that it has been illegal since 1992 when the law came into effect.
The 100-year-rule permitted fiesta events involving animals to continue if it was clear that they were more than one hundred years old. It is this rule which Santa Margalida town hall eventually fell foul of (fifteen years after the law was enacted) when it was threatened with legal action for having allowed the Can Picafort ducks' swim in August to continue: there was only evidence of the tradition's existence dating back to the 1930s.
ANPBA is also pointing out that the Balearic law established that there was an "essential requirement" to ensure that there was "no torture of the animal", which it argues is the case with the bull-run.

Richard / Hace over 5 years
How can such a cruel activity be allowed to carry on simply due to the number of years that its been going on for? If this were right then modern civilization would never have come to fruition? In fact the English would still be baiting bears at the Tower of London? This animal should never have been degraded and tortured in this manner only to be later sent to the slaughter house and handed out as parcels of meat to the villagers. Surely Mallorca we can do better than this is in 2016 otherwise what message do we send of ourselves to the world?
Mr B / Hace over 5 years
The fact that animals are exposed to this level of discomfort simply to provide entertainment for humans is cruel and unacceptable. It is an outdated idea that animals are simply objects for entertainment. This is a mindset that will only end when events like the Fornalutx bull run cease. Ban this event, and objectifying animals for entertainment. By banning this event forever, Fornalutx will be providing a positive example for generations to come. The only reason I can see it is kept running is that there must be some form of betting being held on the animals. The local council could be sued if anyone is hurt, perhaps if the council and the organisers were made to take out a public liability insurance which would be expensive, this would end the bull run overnight.

(TORRANCE, CA) -- In case you were one of the unfortunate few who missed the Bowling for Scholars event on May 27, you're going to be kicking yourself for not going. This very successful event was co-sponsored by the Southern California Chapter of VSDA, FOXE and the Free Speech Coalition.
There were at least 200 people in attendance and adult entertainers rotated lanes so they could be with all the fans. Christi Lake was her usual exuberant, friendly self, eventually stripping down to bare nothingness, bowling and dancing around.
The beautiful Tina Toy was dutifully making the rounds from alley to alley, sharing hugs with all admirers, spending most of the time wearing a black thong. She wasn't shy about complying with fans' requests for her to do some revealing poses for their cameras. Anita Cannibal looked gorgeous and brought lots of others with her.
Other notable lovelies included Salena del Rey, Selena Steele, Emerald, and JenX, to mention just a few. Read more details and see lots of photos at http://www.worth-a-million.com. The next bowling event is already being planned for November.
