Saratoga Springs - Tracts of trailer parks, a tent colony for the homeless and impoverished children aren't images most people would associate with the state's fastest-growing county. But while Saratoga County might be better known for luxury estates and thoroughbred racing, it also has one of the widest income gaps between rich and poor residents of any county in the nation.
stowed upon her by the league's coaches, something is still missing for Cairns as she has yet to experience the thrill of winning a Section II Class AA title. The Blue Streaks advanced to the sectional final in March and, despite a game-high 27 points from Cairns, dropped a 62-54 verdict against Shenendehowa. "I wanted to get it done this year, especially with it being Kerry's senior year," Cairns said regarding teammate Kerry Flaherty, a player she played with for five years on varsity. "I am already on the younger kids to get them in the gym with me."
Saratoga's Dolly Cairns knows she has one more chance to win a Section II crown in her high school career next season. She averaged 17 points per game as a junior.

court, Cairns is smooth and steady. Her unique abilities to create offense for herself and her teammates set her apart. Cairns utilizes a step-back move to create separation from defenders to take jumpers. It is a move defenders have been unable to solve. Cairns averaged 17.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season. She knocked down 43 3-pointers and converted 95 of 106 free throws (89.6 percent). The 5-foot-7 standout reached the 20-point plateau six times during her junior season, including in all three sectional games. Cairns also pumped in a season-high 29 points in a 68-56 loss at Shenendehowa on Jan. 31. Beyond her skills as a player, Cairns believes she has made major strides in other regards.
"I think I have gotten better at being a leader," Cairns said. "It is going to be different next year." When Cairns takes the court with the Blue Streaks for the 2019-20 season, it will mark the first time in her varsity career Flaherty will not be in the backcourt with her. Competing during the spring and summer months with the Albany City Rocks, Cairns has already received interest from nearly 40 Division I programs. "Right now, I am narrowing it down a little bit," Cairns said. "When I go to college, I want to be able to play right away." Cairns plans to make her college selection in the fall prior to the start of her senior season. Cairns realizes securing what has proven to be an elusive sectional championship will not be easy next winter, but she plans on doing everything within her power to lead the Blue Streaks to a title.
ient 6-0 center, a Suburban Council first-team selection, led her team to a sixth straight Section II Class A title by averaging 16.4 points, 16.2 rebounds, 3.4 blocks, 2.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Wood's ability to provide whatever her team needed helped generate another quality season for Averill Park.
improvements or other expenses, such as college tuition. 2. Home equity line of credit: The financial experts at Bankrate indicate that a HELOC works like a credit card, with the house as collateral. There is a credit limit, and borrowers can spend up to that limit. The interest rate may or may not be fixed. However, the interest may be tax-deductible if the financing is used to improve, buy or build a home. 3. Home equity loan: Individuals also can borrow against equity in their homes with a fixed interest rate through a home equity loan. Most lenders will calculate 80 percent of the home value and subtract a homeowner's mortgage balance to figure out how much can be borrowed, according to the financial advisory site The Simple Dollar. 4. Personal loan: Homeowners can shop around at various financial institutions for competitive personal loans to be used for home improvement purposes. Funds may be approved within one business day, which can be ideal for those who want to begin their improvements soon.
5. Personal line of credit: A personal line of credit allows borrowers to borrow only the money needed at the time, and offers a variable interest rate that is generally lower than fixed loan rates. Again, like a credit card, PLOC gives a person a maximum borrowing amount and is ideal for ongoing purchases. 6. Credit cards: In a pinch, credit cards can be used to finance improvements, but they do come with the cost of very high interest rates if the balance is not paid in full by the time the bill comes due. However, for funding smaller projects and maximizing rewards points through home improvement retailers or specific credit card company promotions, credit cards can be a way to earn various perks in addition to the benefit of improving a home. Homeowners looking to finance their next improvements should speak to a financial advisor and shop around for the best types of funding for them.

released last July and used data from 2015. Ron Deutsch, executive director for the Fiscal Policy Institute, a nonprofit thinktank in Albany that is separate from the Economic Policy Institute, said the imbalance is particularly stark in Saratoga Springs. "Saratoga is quickly becoming a city of haves and have nots," Deutsch said. Gordon Boyd, president of Mercy House of Saratoga, a church-affiliated affordable housing initiative, echoed that sentiment. "Saratoga is a contradiction," he said. "It's a seasonal tourist destination with a mix of hospitality businesses that the tourists demand, but the people who work in those businesses, the restaurants and hotels, have to commute 25 miles." Programs want more While some may look to the city and county for solutions, the Rev. Peter Cook, executive director of the New York State Council of Churches, who has joined with advocates for the poor throughout the state and Saratoga Springs, said the state could and should do more to bridge the gap. "County governments are limited to raise property taxes," said Cook, who headed up the New Hope for all of New York Budget campaign, which traveled throughout the state with that message. "They have to figure out other ways to raise revenue as the state flatlines or shrinks their allocation." Cook, Deutsch and a coalition of advocates for the poor unsuccessfully pressed state officials, including Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, to increase funds to programs that support education, health care and other services by imposing a 1.5 percent tax on those who earn $5 million or more.
Poverty exists, too, as seen by tent camps in the woods near the train station off West Avenue. Beyond the city, Saratoga County's income inequality is wide; one indicator is the higher number of students getting free or reduced-price meals.

RUTH MANFREDI, Founder and President
Ruth Manfredi, a native New Yorker, met her husband in Vernazza in 1995 and they married there in 2001. They spend their free time with their two children in this beautiful little village by the sea.
Founding Save Vernazza and helping rebuild, restore, and preserve Vernazza's town and territory over the past 10 years is Ruth's passion. She is involved in every aspect of this non-profit's mission, including fundraising over €250,000, project management, and communications.
Ruth Manfredi with Lord Richard Rogers
Ruth's greatest honor has been working closely with architect Richard Rogers and team on the "Renaissance of Vernazza" project for the requalification of Vernazza's public spaces. The revitalized Piazza Marconi was officially inaugurated on May 25, 2015.
Ruth is also proud of the success of Save Vernazza's Turisti nei Cian Voluntourism project: 1032 travelers joined 121 excursions over 6 seasons to help 20 landowners rebuild terracing and stonewalls, restore olive groves, cultivate vineyards, and harvest grapes in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Since 2018, Ruth loves providing personalized hospitality to her guests in two beautiful, well-maintained homes on the sea in Vernazza known as Cinque Terre Vacation. She is currently studying to become a sommelier to share her passion for Cinque Terre with guests, including Cinque Terre wines.
Ruth is a former strategy consultant for Accenture. She earned an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, a Master's of International Studies from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts from Vassar College. In 2008, Ruth completed the inaugural course to become a Tour Guide for the Cinque Terre National Park.
MICHELE LILLEY, Founder and Vice President
Michèle Lilley, a native Californian, fell in love with Vernazza's steep, green hillsides, and blue seas over 20 years ago when she came to Vernazza during a hiatus from her work in film and television. She met her husband, local artist Antonio Greco, and they started a family and opened Bottega d'Arte Cinqueterre on the town's main street.
Michèle Lilley teaching Syracuse University students about Vernazza's unique territory during grape harvest.
On October 25, 2011, Michèle was in their Bottega d'Arte when the flooding began and narrowly escaped, breaking down a passage door and climbing to safety with the elderly couple who lived above her storefront. She later described the devastation as "a powerful force of nature that ripped out the guts of town, the insides of our lives, and left them lying scattered in the street."
Michèle is passionate about Vernazza's unique territory and can often be found running the upper Cinque Terre trails, stopping to chat with local farmers. She explains: "If someone gives you fruit from their garden or a bottle of wine they produced, that person is giving you something to chew on: a piece of a proud, hardworking culture which has been passed down by generations to carve out a territory to call home."
Passionate about sustainable tourism and education, Michèle's most gratifying moments come from developing the Cinque Terre's first "Volun-tourism" project in collaboration with Busabout and TreadRight. The "Turisti nei Cian" project gave visitors a chance to work alongside locals in vineyards and olive groves, have fun, and learn about Vernazza's cultural heritage. She also headed up the "Save Vernazza Walking Tours" sharing Vernazza's history and culture with tourists, often stopping in cantinas to share stories with local farmers that resulted in lasting connections between tourists, the locals and their culture.
These days, Michèle can be found between the US and Italy where she manages feature
film projects. She returns to the spectacular green hills and blue seas of Vernazza to enjoy friends, family, and her connection with the territory.
MICHELE SHERMAN, Founder and Director
Michele Sherman was born in New York City, grew up in northern New Jersey, and moved to San Francisco as a young adult to embark upon a career in technology sales.
In August 2005, she took a well-earned break on a 6-week solo backpacking trip with Cinque Terre recommended by friends and Rick Steves as a "must-see". She chose Vernazza as her home base, met her future husband Giuliano, and what was intended to be a 5-night stay turned into 5+ years in Vernazza, running "Camere Giuliano" and raising daughter Sofia.
Michele Sherman & Rick Steves
On October 25, 2011, Michele was living in Lucca with Sofia and received word from Giuliano about the torrential rains and subsequent flooding. Losing contact with everyone in Vernazza soon after, she was able to connect with Cinque Terre friends living at higher ground to confirm the few details available. Immediately jumping onto YouTube, Michele found a video of the flooding in Monterosso and for the next 20 hours, she diligently stayed at her computer, phone by her side, TV on, trying to put the pieces together in a desperate search for information. Days would pass before news of the tragedy would reach formal news outlets.
Michele knew she wouldn't be the only person living outside of the story to be devastated by what happened. Knowing how Vernazza holds a special place in the hearts' of its visitors, she felt there would be many others eager to help this special community, and, along with Ruth and Michèle, Save Vernazza was born.
In 2012, Michele and Sofia returned to the SF Bay Area. Michele is again working in high tech and Sofia is a thriving high school student (who is lucky enough to "summer" in Vernazza). In addition to motherhood, Michele feels the work she did with Save Vernazza is her best contribution to doing good in the world. She enjoys trips to Vernazza each summer to visit family and friends in this special place in the world.

Now a strong five-year-old, Love Supreme has become not just the UK's finest jazz festival but one of the most enjoyable and smoothly run festivals of any genre. Rather than resting on their laurels, the programmers really upped their game with another line-up of incredible soul and jazz artists, old and new. It's a festival so you expect to get stung on the bar prices, but the wide variety of food on offer was reasonably priced and the toilets were much cleaner and better maintained than some of Brighton's major venues (you know who you are).
The main stage opening act, LaSharVu, a trio of talented session singers easily won over a large crowd with their soulful harmonies and down-to-earth banter. Seasoned funk/soul singer Lee Fields gave Sharon Jones her first break and his Expressions band, much like her Dap Kings, played strong, tight funk to complement his powerhouse vocals as he screeched and span his way through a set of heavy soul originals.
Gentler sounds could be found in the tents from Michael Wollny's piano trio and Mammal Hands' sax loops, while the inventive bass lines from Corinne Bailey Rae's soft summery songs recalled Minnie Riperton's later output as they floated out from the main stage.
Without doubt the star of the day was Shabaka Hutchings who played three stellar sets with three completely different bands. From The Ancestors' Afrocentric chants to The Comet Is Coming's future dance set via Sons of Kemet's furious funky sax, tuba and double drummer improvisations, Hutchings proved himself to be the man of the hour.
Herbie Hancock marked his festival debut with a capacity crowd and a set that heavily featured his funky 70s output, complete with vocoder vocals and a thumping 'Chameleon'. The day closed with The Jacksons running through their and Michael's hits in a well-rehearsed show that the sellout crowd lapped up. Jermaine and Jackie's lead vocals were the strongest and the Jackson 5 medley was exciting with 'I'll Be There' providing a moving moment. There was some filler with family home movies and Marlon's James Brown impersonations but the disco classics were a joy to experience.
There were tributes to Ella Fitzgerald by Mica Paris whose light-hearted set of American Songbook classics drew a huge crowd while Gil Scott-Heron's work was given an acoustic overhaul by the formidable vocals of Charenee Wade.
Now a Sunday staple, Terry Pack's Trees, on the bandstand, were an unmissable start to the day with their sumptuous big band and chorus sounding like Rotary Connection channelling Coltrane. A quick dash to the main stage was rewarded with a scorching performance from Columbia's La Mambanegra delivering a hard Latin funk and salsa set. This was enjoyed by a large crowd including The Hot 8 Brass Band who followed with their irresistible brass funk repertoire that now includes a surprisingly effective Joy Division reworking.
Kamasi Washington had a busy day that began with a panel discussion where he mused on what John Coltrane's Instagram feed would be like, to sitting in with old friend Miles Mosley's set of West Coast deep funk infused with flashes of Hendrix on his wah wah double bass. Mosley returned the favour by bringing his West Coast Get Down crew to guest on Washington's own set, showing his funkier side during a powerful hour of heavy duty soulful jazz.
The legendary George Benson showed he'd lost none of his guitar skills as he crooned and soloed his way through an hour of smooth disco hits, instrumental crossover hit 'Breezin' and the classic 'On Broadway'. During the set we sneaked a peek at Yussef Kamaal's set which was full of dancing teens and twentysomethings who'd probably never heard of George Benson.
Despite a few road-weary cracks in his voice, returning hero Gregory Porter remained the people's champ as he closed the weekend with a ballad-heavy set lifted by uptempo gems including a gospel-powered 'Liquid Spirit' and the instantly familiar bassline of his modern civil rights anthem '1960 What'. As with other performers throughout the weekend, dedications were made to the victims of the recent tragedies in London and Manchester.
There was no big showstopper ending but Porter returned for a final song, the tender 'When Love Was King'; a fitting way to end a glorious weekend of new music and old favourites performed at a festival that improves year on year.

Using Cash To Purchase A Home– Before you make any decisions regarding the purchasing of a home you should always make sure you have all you finances in order. Although there can be benefits to buying your home on a strictly cash basis, beginning any legal transactions before you are sure you have all you affairs in order can lead to much worse consequences down the line.
Yuval Golan say: "Sellers are likely to favor buyers who pay with cash"- Making a cash offer on a home can not only show the seller that you are serious about making the purchase, it can also help to lower the price of the house as the seller is more likely to give you a discount on the home if you have the cash upfront. If you are in a bidding war for a home against many people being able to show the seller that you have the cash upfront and available may be the key that helps you win the bidding war for your home.
"Cash buyers can save money on closing costs, bank appraisals, mortgage applications and fees, title insurance, and so on"- Anyone who has purchased a home knows that there is more to the process than just simply paying the money for your home. If you take out a loan you have all sorts of fees associated with your loan as well as interest. Paying for your home with cash will eliminate the extra costs that come along with purchasing a home.
"Cash buyers pay less for their home in the long run:No loans means no interest"- With all the ins and outs associated with buying a home you can be sure that over time you will be paying much more for your home than you would had you paid for you home with cash.
"Cash buyers never have to worry about losing their homes because they can not afford to repay their mortgage loans"- We all know of people who took out a loan for a home and 10 years and 2 kids later they are still paying off mortgage loans. Buying a home with cash will save you years of sleepless night wondering how on earth you are going to pay your mortgage bills.
"Cash buyers gain full, immediate equity of their home"- When you purchase a home with cash you gain the advantage of knowing that your home is yours outright. This means you are 100% owner of your home and get any and all profit should you choose to sell your home later on.
How You Can Buy A Home With Cash.
If you are looking into buying a home with cash here are a few tips for you to consider.
Set aside windfalls(work bonuses, inheritance etc).- Chances are you do not have the money to purchase a home just laying around. Setting aside extra unexpected money is a great start to being able to purchase your home with cash. Money that you receive in the form of gifts, bonuses, business ventures, as well as inheritance will add up over time and may be the key to being financially able to purchase a home with cash.
"Lock money into a long term CD to gain interest"- Putting your money into a long term CD will allow the value to mature and gain interest that can be helpful over time when you decide to purchase a home.
"Once you have the money available, look to buy a home you can afford without having to take out any extra loans"- One of the biggest benefits of buying a home with cash is freeing yourself from extra charges, mortgages, and other loans. Look to purchase a home with the money you have already available so that you do not have to take out a loan and end up paying thousands extra in the long run.
"Consider buying a home in a less populated area away from the city where homes may be less costly"- Living in the city can become very expensive. Choosing to buy a home outside of the city will not only save you on the cost of a home but the taxes and other expenses are generally cheaper as well. By purchasing a home not far from the city you can save on costs but still have the convenience of being close to the city should you ever need to go.
"Avoid the temptation to waste money"- If you are serious about trying to buy a home with cash make sure you set up a good budget for yourself. It is also helpful to let friends and family know your plan so that you can avoid the pressure to spend money on things such as movies and nightclubs, that you could be putting towards purchasing a home.
Disadvantages Of Buying A Home With Cash.
"Loss of liquidity"- Buying a home is no small expense. Although the feeling of owning your home outright may be a great one, it does not mask the fact that such an expensive purchase almost always leaves you with low liquid assets that may be needed in cases of emergency. Before you buy a home you should make sure you have enough money available to cover the purchase as well as have some extra in case of any unexpected emergencies later on. Houses are not considered liquid assets so if you were ever to need to come up with cash in case of an emergency you may find yourself taking out a loan which is defeats the purpose of buying a home with cash in the first place.
"Limited tax deductions"- Buying your home with cash outright may also work against you in the fact that there are limited deductions available compared to homeowners who pay a mortgage. This may be a more problematic situation for young couples who are purchasing a home for the first time. Real estate companies such as Yuval Golan can help you figure out what the best option for you is when it comes to buying or selling your home with cash.
"Estate Planning"- When it comes to dealing with your estate after you pass on, paying for your home with cash can make things a little bit tricky. Because your home was purchased with cash should you decide to give the home to a child or other family member after you pass the receiving party will often be subject to "gift tax" which depending on the value of the home may cause problems if whoever the home is given too can not afford to pay the tax.
"Make your house welcoming"- This may seem like an overly obvious statement but it is one of the biggest things you can do to maximize the value of your home. When people are looking to purchase a home they often look at photos on the internet first. The way you present your home will have a major effect on the response you get. Be sure to make sure you post photos that are flattering to your home and gauge any potential buyers interests. Show off the great assets your home has to offer, including things like special built in appliances, or great view from a particular room or rooms.
"List your house on famous online portals"- With the growing popularity of online real estate platforms and social media, real estate investor Yuval Golan suggests that you be sure to post your listing likewise. Social media is an especially effective way of getting attention for your listing for those looking to sell their house for cash. In particular popular social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become a very effective means of listing homes for purchase or sale. Yuval Golan also suggests that you look for current trends going on in the real estate community and consider incorporating some of those into the showing of your home as well as your online listings.
"Make sure the listing has an attractive picture of your home"- Another seemingly obvious but surprisingly overlooked way Yuval Golan can help you maximize the cash sale of you home is to make sure you have an attractive picture in the listing of your home. Of course you can take photos of your home yourself, but consider hiring a professional photographer to help you truly capture the beauty of your home.
"Provide information about the neighborhood"- When people are looking to purchase a home they not only check out the house itself but also the surrounding neighborhood. To help gain interest in your home try to include so useful as well as interesting information about the neighborhood in which you are located as well. Information about schools, places to eat as well as any popular tourist destinations are a great way to garner interest from potential buyers.
"Set The right Price"- Before you can eve begin the process of trying to get quick cash for your home you first need to set the right price. Although you want to get the most you possibly can for your home you need to be realistic with the price. Although you may be tempted to set a high price even though you are really okay with getting less, you should exercise moderation in this practice. Try to keep your price realistic so that you do not come off as being unrealistic, overzealous, or scare away potential buyers.
Getting help with ways to get the most cash for your home has never been easier with Yuval Golan. With plenty of experience his expertise has helped many people maximize the amount of cash they received for their home. Located in Queens New York City, New York Yuval Golan is quickly becoming one of the premier destinations for people who are looking to either buy or sell houses for cash. If you are someone who is looking to get fast cash for your home Yuval Golan is the place to go. Because the housing market can be a particular hassle for people to navigate you will be glad to have Yuval Golan's expertise on your side.
After deciding the best available option for buying a house that is by mortgage or cash payments the next step is to get a fast closing of your home sale. As per Yuval Golan a famous real estate investor in Queens New York 'Everyone wants to get a fast closing on their house sale, but sometimes problems occur and it is best to solve these problems sooner, so that the transactions can be quickly completed'. Furthermore if the delayed closing is due to unexpected problems such as a low appraisal or mortgage loan then the seller will lose out on his tax credit. Here are a few helpful tips presented by Yuval Golan on how to identify problems, correct them and get a fast closing on your house sale.
If you have any deadlines to meet then it is advisable to set the closing date at the earliest possible time. If you choose an early date then you will always be safe if some unforeseeable event occurs.
'Before closing the transaction your real estate lawyer will require a title report and would conduct a detailed title analyses' says real estate investor Yuval Golan. Therefore it is always important to order the title on the prescribed time in this way the buyer and seller will benefit from fast closing. So in case the lawyer finds that there is an outstanding debt on the house then it has to be cleared in order to complete the transaction. Yuval Golan emphasises that if you want to get fast closing on your deal then 'make sure that you order the title beforehand and immediately after the contract has been signed'. In this way you will be well equipped in case of any emergencies and before the closing date has been elapsed.
If the buyer is paying for the house with cash then he does not have to wait for a month or more in order to close the deal. This is due to the fact that there are no loan or appraisal issues. As soon as the home has been properly inspected and the selling price is decided a fast closing of house sale can result in a matter of few days. 'Sellers always prefer cash buyers because fast closing puts the money in a sellers pocket sooner' says Yuval Golan. In a similar way cash buyers can also benefit from a fast closing of house sale, because they do not have to go through the trouble of paying for a mortgage application and appraisals.

Церковь Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы —  православный храм Шахтинской и Миллеровской епархии, Каменское благочиние. Однокупольный храм, завершенный луковичным куполом, с трапезной и колокольней.

История
Храм был заложен 14 октября 1991 года в день Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы. Его строительство началось в 1996 году и велось на пожертвования жителей города, казачества, средства предприятий и организаций города, а также частных предпринимателей.

Купола храма (большой купол весит 10 тонн) изготовила волгодонская фирма «Росзаводстрой». Колокольня имеет шесть колоколов — пять колоколов малой звонницы и колокол-благовест весом  около метра в диаметре. Все колокола отлиты в Воронеже. Чугунное литье церковной ограды изготовлено в ремонтно-механическом цехе химкомбината.

Храм был торжественно открыт 14 октября 2003 года, его освятил настоятель — священник Георгий Волощук. При храме открыта воскресная школа, действует приходская библиотека, благотворительная столовая. Также здесь работает сестричество, которое окормляет некоторые отделения «Городской больницы № 1», детский приют, среднюю  Исправительное учреждение 398/12, дом престарелых в хуторе Малая Каменка, войсковые части  и  Действуют церковные хоры «Знамение» и «Светоч» (руководитель Людмила Волощук).

В настоящее время настоятелем храма является иерей Владислав Касьянов. которыы в июне 2019 года стал благочинным Каменск-Шахтинского округа.

Церковь находится по адресу: переулок Башкевича, 85. Воскресная школа находится в здании старого храма по адресу улица Гагарина, 91.

Интересно, что церковь построена у места, на котором с 1914 года строилась каменная церковь Святых Петра и Павла. Достроена она не была, в 1921 разобрана, и в настоящее время в память о ней установлен крест.

Italy requiring everyone over 50 to get a COVID vaccine
The Italian government approved a measure Wednesday requiring people older than 50 to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, as the country struggles with nearly daily new records of fresh infections fueled by the Omicron variant.
Earlier in the day, 189,000 new infections were confirmed in the country of some 59 million people.
"We want to put the brakes on the growth of the curve of contagion and push Italians who are still not vaccinated to do so," Prime Minister Mario Draghi was quoted by an official in his office as telling his ministers at a Cabinet meeting Wednesday evening.
The Cabinet voted unanimously to impose the mandate, which Public Administration Minister Renato Brunetta said puts Italy in the vanguard in Europe in cracking down on those who refuse to be vaccinated and who now account for the majority of patients in Italy's rapidly filling ICU beds.
Some 78% of Italy's population is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, which can cause COVID-19. So far, about 36% have received a booster shot, which experts say is a crucial instrument in reducing the possibility that an infection will necessitate intensive care or be fatal.
Draghi said the decision to require vaccination for older persons was taken out of concern that they are at more risk for hospitalization and "to reduce the pressure on hospitals and save lives."
It was not immediately announced what, if any, penalty non-vaccinated older persons might face. But Health Minister Roberto Speranza also told reporters that anyone 50 or older will be checked to see if they have a "super green pass" before they enter their workplaces. That certification is reserved for those who are fully vaccinated or who have recently recovered from COVID-19.
The workplace requirement for older workers in both the public and private sector takes effect February 15. That date would presumably allow time for workers to become fully vaccinated if they aren't now.
The Cabinet also decreed that anyone working in universities must be vaccinated, regardless of age. Currently, vaccination is required for school teachers, health care workers, members of the military and police forces, regardless of age.
Also adopted was a requirement that anyone working or obtaining services in beauty parlors and similar establishments have a negative virus test if they aren't vaccinated or haven't recently recovered from COVID-19. The same rule will apply to stores in shopping malls and to banks and post offices. Those working or patronizing pharmacies or food stores will be exempt.

Brexit Fallout: Shaming Leave Voters Is Despicable, And Will Backfire
July 6, 2016 Samuel Hooper
Remainers were not able to win the EU referendum, but they are determined to make wavering Brexit voters regret and feel ashamed about their vote
I'm now starting to get quite angry at the effect the bullying, hectoring and self-entitled sore loser contingent within the Remain camp are having on soft Leavers.
Many people were genuinely conflicted in their decision, and have already displayed an enormous amount of personal courage in overcoming the incessant Project Fear messages crafted by Will Straw, David Cameron and their Britain Stronger in Europe henchmen. To see them now cowed and bullied into feeling bad about their decision by furious Remainiacs intent on associating them with racists and xenophobes is offensive in the extreme.
Newsweek magazine details some of the abuse received by just one left-wing Brexit supporter:
Here is one of the hateful comments that was posted on my Facebook profile by a male friend in Berlin: "It's plain & simple: You voted with the fascists and now you use their lingo (that the mainstream media covered it wrong) to justify your naivety. If I hadn't heard that sentiment a gazillion times from morons in Germany or the UK, it would be pretty funny, but now it just makes me sick and I have to say it somehow fits ya…[sic]" Not content with that, he then followed up with an even more insulting private message to me, at which point he was defriended.
This next one came from a senior male ex-colleague: "You voted leave??? A racist hate campaign based on lies which were admitted not even 24 hours after the vote? I am shocked. But at least Trump sent his congrats. Unbelievable."
Another male friend, this time from London, wrote: "When you've got commenters on the Daily Mail site saying they feel misled and would change their vote if they could, then you know you've got problems." I told him I didn't feel misled. He didn't like that very much. Cue more vitriolic and deeply patronizing comments where I was told to "look up this" and "look up that" as if my IQ had dropped.
Newsflash! I didn't go to bed left-wing and wake up right-wing. As all my real friends know, I believe in integration, tolerance, multiculturalism, the NHS and equal rights. So just to say it once more for those at the back not really listening—that's definitely not fascist. Perhaps some of my so-called friends would like to talk to people up and down the country, not just in London, and learn how disenfranchised and disappointed many in the U.K. are with the EU, the Conservatives and austerity politics in general.
Latest to succumb to the browbeating is divorce lawyer Ayesha Vardag, who pitifully recants her Leave vote in the Telegraph:
I think there has been a lack of informed debate on both sides. I was not uninformed. But perhaps, in this instance, I was too informed, and I should have voted with my natural, liberal, European-spirited tribe rather than according to my concerns about the federal project, which now feel to me esoteric and unimportant.
With all this, I sound as if I'm making excuses. But I am only trying to explain, I suppose, why I voted as I did and why, too late, I have changed my mind.
I hate much more than anything about the EU the divisions in our country, the racism and xenophobia that have been given voice and legitimacy, the indignity of the shameful lack of leadership in our country, the destruction of our national esteem in our own and others' eyes, the horrible, horrible mess that engulfs us now.
I feel, bizarrely, personally responsible for everything that goes wrong now, because, with my vote, with my expressed opinions, I contributed to it, and I shall be sorry every day. And those who know me well know I don't much like to say sorry.
I'm sorry I voted out, given how it has transpired. I am so sorry so many people I care about are upset about the referendum result. I feel guilty that I voted for something that has made them so afraid and unhappy. I also feel massively panicky about the market instability, the social division and the failure of sensible direction at the top.
Guilt trick – successfully accomplished.
This blog is no great fan of Ayesha Vardag, but one should still deplore the fact that a fellow citizen and voter can have such opprobrium heaped upon them – including accusations that they are effectively in collusion with racists and reactionaries – simply for voting based on their perfectly valid and mainstream criticisms of the European Union.
And it is not just angry trolls on social media whipping up this anti-Brexiteer hatred. It is politicians and commentators and supposedly respectable people who have decided to characterise the EU referendum as a battle of good versus evil in which any dissenters from the pro-EU status quo automatically fall into the evil category.
This can only backfire. Loudly and shrilly accusing half of the country of being racist simpletons didn't work when the establishment was fighting to keep Britain in the EU; it will certainly not work as disappointed Remainers seek to find their footing and regain their influence over political events. Indeed, we already see the opposite happening, with even some Remain voters recoiling from the arrogance and intolerance of their own side.
The Spectator carries the story of one Remain voter who now openly wishes that he had voted Leave:
As the week progressed, and demonstrators with radical piercings marched on Parliament in solidarity with EasyJet and George Osborne, I found my mood change. As one Guardian commentator after another dismissed the opinion of the poor, the old, the white, the uneducated, I began to wonder if the Leavers hadn't been right all along. Perhaps the Remain side were out of touch with what much of Britain thought.
[..] As my mood changed, yet more taboo thoughts rose to the surface. If the EU has transformed working conditions for the better, why are there so many zero-hours 'contracts'? Why do 'left wingers' trust businesses so reliant on cheap labour? If it's so important for crime prevention, how do we explain Saliman Barci and Arnis Zalkalns? We are 'informed' that we need young blood because there's a pensions crisis, but won't migrants also grow old? We are told by Jeremy Corbyn that immigration has no impact on housing, and it's all because the Tories are too mean to build 300,000 houses a year. What if he's wrong and the EU did in fact have a negative impact on housing stock?
Then came the petitions. Remainers calling for the referendum to be ignored, or worse, re-run, revealed themselves to be the enemies of democracy. How many of them would tolerate similar calls from the Leave camp if the vote was reversed? And what happens if a re-run took place and a slender majority did vote Remain. Did they really think the Leavers would take that lying down?
By now, I also wanted to repent. I'd voted Remain, but had not realised that my vote would have counted for more if I had voted Leave. I regretted my vote because if the margin had been wider, perhaps those commentators who make a living decrying our country, our electorate, our past, would pause to reflect on what voting meant to ordinary people rarely allowed to make national decisions. For an overwhelming majority of Leave voters it wasn't about sending messages to Brussels, or wiping the smugness off Cameron's face; it was about deciding which choice would be best for them, their children, and for the country they love.
In case it was not already apparent (with the ascendancy of Jeremy Corbyn, the SNP and Donald Trump) these are not normal political times in the West. The establishment was already discredited and seriously off balance even before the stunning EU referendum result further highlighted their disconnect from much of the population. And now, many people within and around the establishment seem determined to compound this disconnect by either explaining away the people's decision to vote for Brexit or angrily chiding them for it.
But for every tearful recanting of a Leave vote under duress on social media we are likely to see two or more hearts hardened against pleas from establishment figures for the people to defer to their arrogant self-interest masquerading as dispassionate expertise. People just aren't buying it any more.
Ayesha Vardag, for her faults, has absolutely nothing to apologise for when it comes to her vote in favour of democratic self government and against a failing, dysfunctional and terminally un-reformable European Union. And though wall-to-wall catastrophisation of Brexit in the media and screeching denunciations of Brexiteers on social media have caused her to recant her vote, she will be vindicated in her initial decision in the fullness of time.
And this sneering, arrogant and deeply ignorant anti-Brexiteer inquisition being waged by disappointed Remain supporters will not succeed.

5 thoughts on "Brexit Fallout: Shaming Leave Voters Is Despicable, And Will Backfire"
I've been thinking about this subject recently. I quite agree with certain comments here. I quickly learned that my friends views were aggressive views to remain. I keep my mouth shut about voting to leave, because I would be ripped to pieces. I told them I didn't vote, which I just about got away with in conversation. I am not the things they would be accusing me of, and the views they would label me with if I told them I voted leave. It appears that many people have forgotten what democracy means.
JF August 25, 2016 / 12:25 AM
From time to time I Google to see whether other people who voted to leave the EU felt as bullied and patronised as I did, and I stumbled upon this article.
The nastiness I experienced after the vote as a result of social media and television allusions to my vote being racist, xenophobic, bigoted, stupid and ignorant, left me in a very depressed state for a while. It was so lacking in intelligence – there were even people claiming to respect the democratic Leave choice but asking us to 'prove' we weren't racist.
I'm fine with people having voted to remain – I nearly did myself, it was a close run thing for me, but in the end I weighed it up and fell down on the Leave side. Maybe I was wrong, maybe I was right, maybe there is no wrong or right, and maybe I am just a person asked to make a choice. But the ranting after the result made me feel as if I'd gone out and committed a crime – an actual crime. I'd ruined the travel prospects of the young, trashed the economy, and was part of a cult of hatred and division. For a while I actually wondered whether I was a bad person – whether I had become unacceptable to people I loved or even if the musicians I was listening to on my ipod would hate to think of me enjoying their music. I apologised to friends and family, and made sure we were all still alright. But now I am unrepentant, because I remembered that my vote was conscientious. In a democracy, why should I repent my well considered vote? I feel angry at the anti-democratic bullying. Campaign to re-join? Fine. Abuse people because they want to leave? No.
What I find annoying now is the constant conflation in the media of my vote with support for the likes of Donald Trump or climate denial. They paint a constant picture of two tribes, as if our EU referendum vote is all that defines us.
I was depressed because I was made to feel like a bad person, but now I am depressed by the lack of nuance and open-minded discussion in many discussions about this subject. I've had to totally abandon social media.
Thanks for your article, it was helpful to know others have felt the same, even though that is a shame.
Heather Newham July 7, 2016 / 8:48 PM
Sorry, don't know who Ayesha Ardag is. But those of us "stupid" enough to vote for real democracy will just have to stand our ground and keep the Remainiacs at bay. They would have had their own set of problems to deal with, like further unification and a European Army and any other lunatic idea that Brussels would have come up with. So two fingers to that sort of future. It was obvious that had we voted to remain, the bureaucrats of Brussels would have had us over a barrel. Whatever madnesses they devised to which any sane, normal person would have objected, they could then say, "Ah, ah, but didn't you vote to Remain?" Thank goodness I had the brains and education and freedom to see what lay ahead. Folks, just keep positive and we will make a better country for ourselves. I, like most other Brexiteers, still love Europe, my European neighbours whether living in their own country or in the UK, it's just the heartless, soul-less, mindlessness of the BBoB (bloody bureaucrats of Brussels. Typing this as I sing "The Marseilles" along with lots of other French fans at Euro 2016 in Lyons tonight. Don't know all the words to "Deutschland Deutschland, Uber Alles" but I sure as hell know and love the music to the German National Anthem. Long may we all remain in harmony – as our own independent nations.
Samuel Hooper July 7, 2016 / 9:05 PM
Beautifully put. Thank you – I quite agree.
David Jones July 7, 2016 / 12:29 PM
I tend not to read MSM so hadn't realised it was so bad. Thanks for posting this.

I Watched The Mash Report So You Don't Have To


You can't swing a laptop without hitting a blogger writing about storytelling these days. It seems to be the current buzzword in marketing.
The word "storytelling" makes you think of an audience hanging on every word as the teller spins a captivating tale.
How can you capture some of that same magic? Some brands seem to do it effortlessly. But when something looks effortless, you can be sure a lot of thought and practice went into it.
Even though storytelling is in our blood as humans, it doesn't come naturally to everyone. Fortunately, like any other skill, it can be learned. And you won't have to sign up for a workshop at a groovy weekend retreat.
Below is a collection of seven articles that will be valuable to anyone who is trying to tell the story of their brand. The topics range from the importance of storytelling, to the science of why it is so powerful, to nuts and bolts advice about how to make it work for your company. There is something for everyone here. I think you'll enjoy it. I hope you find it useful. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
Storytelling beats production and not just for video.
In this video blog post from Vidyard, Michael Litt explains why you'd be better off putting your effort into story development rather than spending your resources on highly produced videos.
This advice applies to more than videos. Think about where your marketing team is spending time and effort on high touch production that might be better spent producing helpful content. Is it really worth creating custom email headers for a trade show? Can you think of ways to employ the skill of your designers that better serve the customer? Why not use them to create something a customer will value and hold on to? That is what content marketing is all about. If it doesn't serve the customer, don't do it!
People are "naturally greedy" for stories.
Jonathan Gottschall, the author The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human, wrote two posts for Fast Company.
The Science of Storytelling: How Narrative Cuts Through Distraction Like Nothing Else explains how stories so easily command our attention and what happens inside our brains when we are engaged in a story.
Although the mind tends to wander naturally when unoccupied by a serious task, a great story can pin it down for hours. The science shows that we imagine ourselves in the center of a good story. If we identify with the protagonist strongly in some way, we feel what she feels.
Have you experienced this? I know that the movies I enjoy least are the ones where I can't relate to any of the characters and don't care at all about what happens to them.
The takeaway for marketers is to create a story in which your customers see themselves as the heroes.
Read a good story lately? It might show up in a blood test.
Tolstoy said good art infects the audience with the storyteller's emotions and ideas. It's truer than he imagined. This borders on spooky, futuristic science fiction, but a story can change hormone levels in your blood.
Jonathan Gottschall's second post in the series, Infecting An Audience: Why Great Stories Spread, describes how stories can transfer ideas and emotions to the audience in a way that a more direct approach cannot.
Many content marketers understand this, but it is worth repeating. Telling people what to think doesn't move them. As Hamid Ghanadan makes clear in his book, Persuading Scientists:Marketing to the World's Most Skeptical Audience, scientists are especially resistant to infection by this route.
On the other hand, stories that allow the audience to experience the emotions and ideas of someone else can change their thinking. This article makes that clear with good examples.
What Che Guevara and Fidel Castro learned about content marketing 50+ years ago.
At the basic level every story is about a problem, but there needs to be something deeper. There needs to be a message.
In this post from TopRank, Jesse Pickrain tells three short stories from a CMI presentation by Shane Snow to guide your own efforts.
The deeper message I mentioned above can invite people to be part of a mission. Elon Musk understands this and has used the idea to keep investors passionately interested in a mission to Mars.
In a second example, the author points out that, of course, your story (or your mission) has to pass a sniff test. If your audience detects BS, you are finished.
Finally, he describes what Che Guevara and Fidel Castro learned about content marketing 50+ years ago when Cuba's previous dictator wasn't following the advice in example #2.
By now (and probably long before) you understand the importance of stories and how they work. But how do you actually tell one over time? This post from the Content Marketing Institute should clear that up for you.
All stories revolve around a problem and a solution or outcome. The Hero's Journey has been a common theme throughout history. This article describes seven ancient archetypes, all around problem and solution, that can be considered when developing a framework for your story. Think of them as different palates from which to paint your brand picture.
Study this article carefully to see which one might be right for your company or product. The examples will require some thought, but will help you see possibilities you might not have imagined.
In The Cognitive Importance of Storytelling, Christopher S. Penn describes how data is stored in the brain and what that means for ensuring that your brand story is remembered.
Because familiar elements make stories easier to recall, the key is to tie your story to something people already know and care about. It makes good sense when you consider the (sometimes surprising) associations your mind makes. Think about it this way. You want your brand story to go in a file that is frequently used by your customer rather than being stored in a new one that will rarely be opened.
In Storytelling, Positioning & Personas for More Effective B2B Content Marketing, Lee Odden of TopRank summarizes a talk from Ardath Albee presented at Content Marketing World.
While the article is largely about positioning and finding your company's distinct value, the most valuable advice is about removing obstacles with your content marketing and 6 mistakes you should avoid in your storytelling.
At this point we've come full circle. Content must always serve the customer's needs. If it doesn't help them, it probably doesn't help you, either.
To get started, think about the story your customers see themselves in as they go to work each day. What do they help their customers do?
If you want help telling your story through a life science content marketing plan that is entirely focused on helping your customers solve problems to generate leads and sales for your business, contact me and tell me about your biggest content marketing challenge.
