A New Way of Life Reentry Project announces merger with Harbour Area Halfway Houses, Inc.
The merger allows A New Way of Life to expand its reach to Long Beach and serve a far greater number of formerly incarcerated women with housing and other services.
LOS ANGELES (December 18, 2018) — A New Way of Life Reentry Project is expanding its ability to provide safe housing for formerly incarcerated women in Southern California by merging with Harbour Area Halfway Houses, Inc. in Long Beach.
The merger gives A New Way of Life access to two more houses and 24 more beds, bringing the organization's total capacity to seven homes and 55 beds. The merger also allows the organization to expand from its base in the Watts neighborhood of South Los Angeles into the Long Beach area.
Because of their shared mission, becoming one organization is a natural fit. A New Way of Life was founded in South Los Angeles in 1998 by Susan Burton and has provided housing for more than 1,000 formerly incarcerated women and their children, in addition to serving nearly 3,000 men and women with its legal clinics. Harbour Area Halfway Houses, Inc. was founded in 1971 by Dorothy Hoffman, taking in women who are in their final months of a prison term or who have just been released from prison, in addition to providing more independent living for longer-term residents. Harbour will come under the umbrella of A New Way of Life, but its two houses will retain their names — Hoffman House and Holland House — as "Projects of A New Way of Life." The merger is also in keeping with A New Way of Life's stated goal of helping other organizations and individuals replicate its model.
"We're very excited to expand our services into Long Beach. This is a great opportunity for us to keep much-needed beds open for women reentering society from incarceration," says Michael Towler, co-director of A New Way of Life. "By applying our proven reentry model to these two homes and infusing them with funding, we can empower even more women to be better mothers, citizens and people."
"This merger continues the dream of Dorothy Hoffman when she bought the first house with the help of the Long Beach Council of Churches over 45 years ago: a vision of a safe place for women to recover from the trauma of the criminal justice system, substance abuse and domestic violence," says Barry Rubin, treasurer of the board of trustees for Harbour Area Halfway Houses, Inc. "We are thrilled that A New Way of Life has picked up the torch to empower women who are returning to their rightful places in the community. Indeed, Susan Burton herself is a testament to positive change, to passion and to bettering the future and is therefore a most worthy inheritor and guardian of both Hoffman House and Holland House. I look forward to serving on the merged board during this transition phase and seeing the fruits of new energy."
The merger and name change are effective immediately.
In 1998, Susan Burton founded A New Way of Life Reentry Project (ANWOL) to help women, families, and communities break the cycle and heal from the formidable experiences of incarceration. ANWOL advances multi-dimensional solutions to the effects of incarceration, including (1) providing housing and support to formerly incarcerated women for successful community reentry, family reunification, and individual healing; (2) working to restore the civil rights of formerly incarcerated people; and (3) empowering, organizing, and mobilizing formerly incarcerated people as advocates for social change and personal transformation.
A New Way of Life envisions a world where every person can make decisions for his/her own life, is accountable for those decisions, and is valued as a contributing member of the community. ANWOL has been a driving force in considerable policy reforms, including the ban-the-box ordinances and the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (Proposition 47), a historic measure to reverse decades of antiquated approaches to community safety and justice, properly redirecting costly prison construction and management resources to education, reentry, and victims' services.

Relief at Malone
As often appears the case, two sides fighting for survival can get dragged into a dogfight. This was the case on Saturday 11th December as the 8th and 10th sides met at Malone RFC. The game was fast paced but both sides were guilty of too many errors. Portadown started off the more controlled and it seemed inevitable that their right wing would score early on, but a determined cover defence benefitted from his decision to cut back in. The visitors dominated early possession but didn't pose a credible problem for the home side's try line. Grosvenor's scrum was causing problems for Portadown and James Bowman was to the fore in this as he gave his much bigger opponent a torrid time, Grosvenor began to hold on to the ball for multi phased play and returning captain Andrew Kelly finished off a great team try with Adam Skelton adding the extras. 7-0 to Grosvenor. A magnificent break from the afore mentioned Kelly was well supported by Pollock and after he was held up in goal, the result was a goal line drop out. Surely this is an experimental law which needs reviewed. With great skill involving many players and covering a long distance, the defence gets to use a strong breeze to bring the game back into our half.
The nerves of both teams were showing and a disputed penalty against Grosvenor was marched a further 10 metres, giving the visiting goalkicker an easier shot at goal which he accepted, 7-3. Grosvenor's multi phased approach resulted in a try for Peter Davison. This went unconverted but Timmy McMullan increased the lead to 17-3. This was the half time score and with a wind advantage and a 2 try cushion, the home supporters were lulled into hoping for a comfortable bonus point win.
Their hopes would have been strengthened when McMullan slotted over another penalty for a 20-3 lead. Portadown had other thoughts and their ever dangerous full back and out half began to exert their influence on a seemingly lost cause.
A try brought them to 20-8 and from a penalty advantage a speculative kick pass was gathered by their wing, who scored in the corner and the conversion was successful, 20-15. Grosvenor just couldn't get out of their own half and a hitherto unlikely comeback was seemingly on the cards. A penalty from a scrum gave McMullan another shot at goal and he duly converted, 23-15. The knowledge that they needed to score twice to gain the lead, led to some extravagant play from Portadown, but the tackle of the game from Matt Johnston, loosened the ball for his co centre Mitchell McComb to sprint into the corner from 30 metres. The relief was palpable as most of the home team who still could, ran to celebrate with the try scorer. The extras were missed but a relieved home team and supporters enjoyed a tense 28-15 victory. The league is a long way from over but this was simply a must win game. My man of the match was the unheralded James Bowman at prop. The epitome of what Grosvenor rugby is all about.

The Biblical Repository and Classical Review, Volume 3
indeed wonderful, the present is deserving of note, but the future will be big with deeper interest, and more portentous in its developments. Behold yonder aged maniac. His history is full of striking and thrilling scenes, and you hear with horror the record of his adventures and experiences. His disease began in the mildest form; a few trivial aberrations gave token that all was not right. Upon one and another occasion, his malady showed its slowly increasing power, as exhibited in still greater deeds of violence and recklessness. He must be threatened and confined; but he laughs wildly at the warning, and breaks away from his prison. He is chained; he tears his fetters, and, with a bruised body and exasperated mind, he menaces his supposed persecutors. All efforts to reclaim him to the path and possession of reason are unavailing. But now his disease approaches its crisis. The raging madness inflames his mind with unusual fury, and the fires of death glow intensely within his heated frame. All former acts of violence and desperation are eclipsed by more recent and extraordinary deeds. He cannot be restrained or softened. Life, to him, becomes but one living death; and the end of it is, that his protracted existence only renders the final scene of an inevitable dissolution the more horrible ; or that scene is prevented by the infliction of an immediate and violent death. So behold the great religious maniac of the world, whose disease, beginning in a gentle and harmless form, has gone onward during the progress of ages, from one stage of power and violence to another. Long ago it had become alarming. Long ago it had developed features, and indulged in excesses enough to make men tremble. Faithful history has stood by, and set down without malice all these events, and her record is preserved as our inheritance. Still the maniac lives; death has not come to his relief. His disease has now nearly reached its crisis; from year to year its developments have become worse. The past is terrible, the present is full of danger; we now stand on the threshold of the future, and in its prospective vistas we see the rampant madman still there, for there is none to chain him. When his long career ends, it will have solved a problem in moral therapeutics, worthy of the study of mankind during all coming ages.
ARTICLE VII.
RANGE OF TOPICS FOR THE PULPIT.
By Rev. JAMES ROWLAND, Circleville, Ohio.
To write a single paragraph, for the sake of convincing those who inherit the principles, as well as the blood, of the old Puritans, that the American Protestant pulpit is an engine of immense power, would be a waste of ink. They who doubt it can never have read the history of John Robinson, and his associates, and are ignorant of the remote causes that secured the triumph of free principles in America, and the coustitutional establishment of our National confederacy. That the modern pulpit has become less conspicuous in its bearing upon many of the great questions of morals and public policy, is not to be attributed so much to the ostracism of its ministers, by those who figure in "getting up" conventions, and mass meetings, and caucusses, as to the fact, that not a few of the ancient prerogatives of the pulpit are superseded by the press. But because the pulpit stands back in the interference with the strife of parties, or the discussion of political questions, or measures of public policy, it need not be inferred that it is less powerful for good than in the early days of the Republic, or in those days of strife and animosity that preceded our National existence. To whatever we may attribuite its more retiring habits—whether to the introduction of this new power of the press, or to the fact, as likely to be true as the others, that it has become more modest in its general claims, and prefers to confine its attention more exclusively to its primitive use, when, under Paul's administration, its great themes were "Christ and him crucified," we do in neither case admit any deterioration in its character or its moral power. Its character may be shadowed forth under other circumstances; but it was never more pure, more elevated, more dignified, than at the present moment, though it may have less of parade, and make less ostentatious display. The American Protestant pulpit has never learned to truckle to assumed authority, either civil or ecclesiastical; nor has it ever catered for vice, even the most fashionable. It claiins for itself—and its enemies concede to it, as a whole-genuine piety, severe morality, a high order of intelligence, no mean attainments in science, compared with the other professions, pure patriotism, and a love of liberty, chastened by that conservatism, which yields all homage to the "majesty of the law."
The pulpit is associated with, and seconded by, so many collateral institutions, which, if they do not owe their existence to it, are never found to exist apart from it, that it is impossible to place an exact estimate upon the extent of its moral power. But whatever this may be in its present exercise, there is legitamate room for the inquiry, whether the American pulpit may not be made to wield a far mightier influence in promoting the welfare of the people, both for this world and the next. That it should again have the relative standing which it occupied, when the hearts of the multitude were moved chiefly by oral communications, is not a matter to be desired. We only ask-may not its usefulness be greatly extended ?
The range of topics which are considered as legitimate themes for pulpit discussion, as this is extended or contracted, more than any single consideration, must ever affect the results of this species of intellectual labor. There are boundaries, even in morals, which the pulpit may not cross; but we know of nothing better fitted to destroy its infinence, than the confining of all its efforts to a few common themes. No matter how practical these may be, no matter how important, no matter how Scriptural. It is said that Paul was the most successful preacher, and the most perfect model, with which God has favored his church; and yet, , at Ephesus, it was the burden of all his labors to unfold 'the way of salvation, testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. While at Corinth, he determined to know nothing save Jesus Christ and him crucified; a theme, to say the least, quite kindred to that which engaged his attention at Ephesus.
Two things should be taken into the account, before any preacher of the Gospel feels bound to restrict himself to exact conformity to this example of Paul.
1. Does the preacher expect as short a residence in his field of labor, as Paul contemplated either at Corinth or at Ephesus?
2. Are the people to whom he preaches as ignorant of the vital points of true Christian faith, as were those whom Paul addressed? With us, the truths of the Gospel are instilled in early childhood, The labors of the pulpit, the instructions of the Sabbath-school, the expositions of the Bible class, united to the wide diffusion of religious truth from the press, impart a knowledge of the Gospel, which renders the whole circle of religious duties in a high degree familiar to even the youth in our congregations. To preach habitually the same truths which Paul preached, in the cases referred to, is the surest method of putting the conscience to sleep. The thunder-storm would have no terrors for one who had spent his entire life amid its roar; the tempest that blanches the check of the raw recruit, is music to the old weather-beaten tar. The peasant who cultivates the rugged sides of Vesuvius, so near to the burning crater as never to be beyond the glare of its lurid light, is unmoved by the deep rumbling occasioned by its hidden fires, while the stranger is terrified at every flash. So faith and repentance, Christ and him crucified, may fall upon the sinner's ear, till, like the dull monotony of a waterfall, the sound does more to hush him to sleep than to arouse his fears. It is sometimes said that every sermon should have enough of Gospel truth to lead a sinner to Christ, should he never listen again to a discourse from the pulpit. This might do for a preacher, who, like Whitefield, was to be ever on the wing. But let any pastor attempt this course, and he will soon either preach his hearers to sleep, or out of church. It is our solemn conviction, that the frequency with which the pastoral relation has been dissolved, for the last quarter of a century, may be atttributed, more than to any other cause, to the limited range of topics introduced for discussion in the pulpit. It has been the era of revivals, and the churches must have "revival sermons." The new pastor begins his work with the highest expectation on the part of his flock. His manner, his tones, his gestures, his style, are new; and if he take the themes on which his predecessor has annually rung some hundred and four changes, there is still enough of novelty to arrest attention, and the congregation are in raptures with their brightening prospects. But the tones grow monotonous; the manner becomes dull; the gestures are a mere see-saw; the style wearies; and the pastor has a gentle hint, that he might be more useful in some other field. In this stirring age, when old things are everywhere passing away, and all things are becoming new,--and the process is a daily one-there must be something new in the preacher, or he cannot long chain the attention of the same congregation. But the voice, the look, the gestures, the style of most men, may be said to be stereotyped. Few men, possessed of the gravity that becomes thc pulpit, can readily adopt the mimic style of a play-actor, and change their whole manner with the scene; nor would it become the dignity and solemnity of the pulpit were the skill posssesed. How then is the preacher to study, and how acquire that variety, which will enlist attention, and secure the listening ear, as the best means of gaining the consent of the heart? Can it be done elsewhere, than in giving variety to the topics selected for discussion? Can it be done in this way? It may be said truth will be sacrificed. Let us see.
In the first place, there may be a great variety in the use of those truths that are usually classed as experimental and practical. Much may be done in mere adaptation to existing circumstances. It was but the other day we read in a popular quarterly, conducted with great ability, the following sentiment, quoted as an approved apothegm: "People are never so wicked as during a general mortality, or the ravages of the plague: and sailors get drunk as the vessel sinks." For aught we know, the remark, as far as it relates to the effects of the Gospel, may convey a historic truth of common occurrence. We have heard it from our boyhood, and till we were so far persuaded of its truth as to cast about for the philosophy of the fact, that sinners never repent and turn to God in seasons of deep affliction. The facts may be so, but we believe, if they are, the ministry of reconciliation is fearfully responsible for their existence. When does a sermon result in the conviction or conversion of a sinner, unless the author of the discourse prepared and preached it in earnest expectation of such results ? Let it become a part of the philosophy of any pastor, that sickness and death, and the various calamities with which God visits men, are never to result in their immediate conversion, and there is the best of all reasons for the failure.
We might name the pastor of a church, who has, for a long series of years, made special efforts to adapt the truth to the circumstances,
the consciences of the families of his parish, whenever they have been visited with severe affliction, and almost ever with the happiest success. It is believed that he has realized more accessions to his church, in connexion with such instrumentalities, than from all other means. Let the pulpit seize upon every stirring incident, upon all distinguished blessings, upon every great calamity, whether individual or public, upon whatever, in passing events, even if it be but an ordinary political election, that enlists the feelings of his parish, and use it to illustrate and enforce divine truth, and man's obligation to God, and it will not be a vain attempt. As proof of the happy tendency of such adaptation of the discussions of the pulpit to awaken interest in the church, we might refer to a most excellent pastor of a church, in one of our large towns, who, immediately in connexion with the excitement of the political canvass of 1840, took occasion to urge upon his hearers the striking inconsistency that Christians exhibited, who manifested so great zeal in the cause of their country, and so little in the service of their God. This was done, with considerable variety of method, on successive Sabbaths. The result was a most interesting revival of religion, occurring under circumstances, and in connexion with a state of public excitement, on a subject quite foreign to vital piety, which probably disheartened most pastors from attempting any close, personal, pungent appeals.
It would be foreign to the design of this article to discuss those questions that are immediately connected with the best means of promoting revivals of religion, or prolonging their continuance. It will, however, be seen, that the remarks already made bear somewhat upon the question, whether the church ought to expect a state of anxiety and inquiry on the part of the impenitent, that shall result in frequent conversions, without interruption ?


Sir Ian Blair, Sir Ian Blair! The Lord save me from Sir Ian Blair!
Well, it's an admission of sorts. But it wasn't all that unforeseen, was it? The Met had two plans in place, a static one (Operation C) to deal with an attacker at a major event and a mobile one (Operation KRATOS) to deal with…a suicide bomber on the loose in public.
They just didn't decide which one fit the circumstances, came up with a dog's breakfast of a hybrid instead, and then carried it out so poorly it would have been a disaster whatever the plan.
We haven't had any Metropolitan Police blogging for a while, which is a pity given that "Sir" Ian seems to be bent on making enemies of literally everyone on the force. I can't help thinking that Tarique Ghaffur and Ali Dizaei are making this into a personal vendetta, but then, who the hell wouldn't?

This exhibition features new drawing, painting, photography and video from 26 emerging artists in Nairobi. The artists work mostly in collectives and communal art spaces across the city. They are the new guard; politicized and pushing boundaries. Exploring their identities; local and global concerns; war and peace; law and disorder; issues of masculinity and the artists' role in society.
Following a series of exhibitions at Circle featuring artists from Tanzania and Sudan, it was important to re-focus on Kenya and what is happening in Nairobi right now. In the last five years, the dominance of Kuona Trust as the artists' studio space, has been challenged by alternative spaces and collectives established by emerging artists or their mentors to offer new working space and workshops.
This exhibition was conceived during a series of studio visits to Wajukuu Art Centre, Brush Tu, Kuona Trust, the GoDown Art Centre, Dust Depo, Masaai Mbili and other private spaces in Nairobi. Though there are still young artists working in more conventional ways, the landscape is changing. Bold fresh voices have begun to make their presence felt by pushing boundaries, organizing alternative spaces to reach audiences, experimenting and influencing each other.
Painting and drawing are still the dominant media, largely for economic reasons but these artists are exploring their medium of choice, researching and learning and whilst much of the work is experimental – confident and surprising discoveries are being made.
More controversially, and for the first time at the gallery, this exhibition features all male artists. This did not begin as a conscious intent, it was simply an exploration of new works by young artists, but during the studio visits, all the artists I met were men, the collectives were established by men and the art that I saw in each space was by men and this became relevant. It raises the question as to why there has been this vigorous surge in young male artists, and equally for future investigation to find the hidden female voices.
Who are they these 'Young Guns'? Where have they come from? Who are their mentors? What are their concerns, their dreams, and their inspirations?

Harry Souttar plays 90 minutes for Australia U23s against South Korea in final qualifier
On loan Stoke City defender Harry Souttar played 90 minutes for Australia U23s in their 2-2 draw with South Korea in the 2020 AFC Championship qualifiers.
The 20-year-old – who has featured for Scotland at U17 and U19 level – qualifies for The Socceroos as his mother was born in Australia, and has featured in the last two games for the Aussie outfit.
Souttar was named in the starting eleven for their match against Chinese Taipei at the weekend, which saw them win comfortably 6-0, with the centre half getting an assist on his debut for the national team.
He started again for Australia in their final match against South Korea's U23s this afternoon, but could only see his side draw 2-2. Souttar and his team mates will now wait to see if they qualify for the 2020 AFC U23s Championship in Thailand.
The defender will now make his way back to the Fylde Coast for Fleetwood Town's Lancashire derby match against Accrington Stanley on Saturday afternoon.
Safe journey back, Harry!

Xi Jinping Plans to Invade Australia… We Need Missile Defence
Feature Image: Chinese Flag Oppressing Australian Flag.
Sydney Opera House targeted for destruction by Xi Jinping Communist Beijing China.
"The real solution to immediately protecting our country is the establishment of several missile air-to air bases in every State protecting our cities. And we need several long-range missile bases in our Northern States focused on Beijing and critical path Communist Chinese Naval Bases and Missile Bases. The problem is that our Politicians in Federal and State Governments including Opposition do not feel any sense of urgency. They are more interested in spending billions of taxpayers' dollars on Net Zero Targets to eliminate CO2 an essential gas to this planet like oxygen. All of our politicians are intellectual weaklings. If they had any common-sense intelligence, they would urgently recognize that we need to spend billions on upgrading our Military Strength including training our young ones for war." (ii)
"We also need to spend billions on establishing Self-Sufficiency in Primary Industry and Manufacturing to help us survive during a war. All the Politicians in Australia true to their coward weak mentality are not doing anything to protect Australia's survival in war. I have no respect for intellectual weaklings and cowards." (ii)

Dream Big Aussies oppose 'Communist Beijing' to Live Free
"Australia needs to lift its game and build several aircraft carriers and establish more missile bases in Australia and begin by doubling its Airforce Strength."
Allan Ivarsson 2021 March 25th. (iii)
Anti-Freedom 'Communist China' is determined to build a Fleet of Aircraft Carriers by 2050.
"Far too many politicians are still complacent. The Greens are more concerned with 'Climate Change' Activism than with building a strong military defence. Labor has gone to sleep and will never lift their game fast enough to build a strong military defence. Meanwhile, our Liberal Party has also failed to accelerate our strength in Military Preparation for a what if attacked situation." (iv)
"Our problem is that our Politicians, Federal and State have decade after decade been incompetent and failed to constantly upgrade Australian Self-Sufficiency in Food Production and Manufacturing Production and in Technology, including Energy and Communication." (iv)
"We should be building our own Ships, Ferries, Trains. Buses, Planes, Tanks, Missiles, Submarines, Cars, Trucks. The fact we are not doing this proves that all Degree Qualified Politicians in Australia are incompetent weak-minded fools." (iv)
"We are in danger because our Politicians have been completely negligent and have failed to upgrade our military resources. And have failed to make sure our 'Defence Minister' was always a skilled combat veteran of Air, Sea or Land." (iv)
Inexperienced Politicians as Defence leaders is an idiotic strategy. (iv)
Allan Ivarsson 18th March 2021 (iv)
"Meanwhile, Australian Politicians are so intellectually backward, they have failed to prepare for war. The Australian Military has a team of great people, but it is led by a Defence Minister who has no skills in combat. In addition, Australian Self-Sufficiency is weak and almost non-existence There is no strong-willed 'Master Plan' in place for Australian Survival in the event of war. We Aussies are sitting ducks waiting to be wiped out." (v)

Australians Don't Tolerate Coward Politicians… We must Stand United with USA.
Allan Ivarsson comments… Before I read through this news article, I shall make it absolutely clear there is no such thing as an 'Expert". The word 'Expert' claims that people are experts in knowledge. That idea is never true. People may be 'Highly Skilled' but there is no such thing as an 'Expert'. No one knows it all, know one ever will.
I am a dynamic highly skilled person in many subjects using the most advanced intelligence in the Universe, called 'Philosophical Intelligence', a name I coined in 2007 to describe the best smartest intelligence on Planet Gaia/Earth. But I am not an expert, because I am still learning, there is no limit to education, the day we stop learning is the day we are dead.
The report I shall review below, talks about subjects of concern, I have been writing about in 'Treatise' activity, publishing many articles over the last three years, but Australian Politicians, Labor, Liberal, Greens, and Independents, in Federal and State, have refused by their own incompetent stupidity to read all my work and the message of warning needing political activity to 'Make Australia Strong Again' and save us from being invaded by Xi Jinping Communist Beijing China. I am disgusted with all Australian Politicians. They run from criticism, valid insults and even in some cases charges of treason and 'High Treason'.
Australian Politicians are wimps… all mouth no guts… more focused on greed, collecting their annual income… void of competent delivery of 'Project Management Skills' and void of 'Competence'.
Our political comments of warning by many members of the public is not achieving much because our politicians have a 'Rip Van Winkle' mentality… they don't read common-sense and they lack vision and courage to read and act on saving Australia from destruction. These politicians remind me of the political characters that opened the gate to invasion and as a consequence destroyed the Roman Empire, which fell, into chaos and misery for centuries to come.
'Defence expert's dire warning that Australia faces a 'high-intensity conflict' in our region – as he names the essential weapon, we need to defend ourselves.' By Aidan Wondracz for Daily Mail Australia news report dated 6th August 2022. (i)
Australian National University Professor Paul Dibb said, "Australia's best chances of deterring an invasion from the north would be to develop long-range missiles." (i)
"By long-range I don't mean just a couple of hundred kilometres, I mean thousands of kilometres, certainly at least 2,000,' he said." (i)
"Australia is facing an increased risk of conflict and must develop long-range missiles to deter an invasion, a top defence expert [Dibb] has warned." (i)
A.I. comments… I wrote below last September 2021 the urgent need for Missile Bases for 'Air-to-Air' and long range missiles, but I was thinking by long-range… 5,000 kilometres, because that is what China has. Does that make me an 'Expert'? No it does not, like Paul Dibb, we are only 'Highly Skilled', there is no such thing as an expert. The vision of 'Missile' Defence is Survival Common-sense but it seems our Prime Ministers don't have common-sense. How do I know this because they have said nothing and done nothing. And all other politicians are also quiet about this urgent need for missile bases around Australia. Our common-sense targets must be China's Missile Bases, and Naval Bases and Beijing. This retaliation common-sense is essential to protect our survival.
I have written regularly about the danger of Xi Jinping Communist Beijing, posting volumes of warning reports, since November 10th, 2018. But Australian Politicians are refusing to read my complete works launch urgent action, which I have raised as essential on many subjects, including Australian Military Defence, Australian Self-Sufficiency, in Manufacturing, Primary Industry and Energy and Communications. I consider their deliberate acts of negligence and incompetence as being acts of treason against the Australia people, because they said nothing and have done nothing.
Aidan Wondracz says… "His warning comes as tensions continue to build between China and Taiwan. Taiwan views itself as an independent country, while China views it as a breakaway province that needs to be 'reunified'."
I have already posted several articles opposing Xi Jinping's unjust Mao Mentality threats against Taiwan and more remarks since March 20th, 2021, to July 20th, 2022, in Page links 'Taiwan a Free Democratic Nation. And in November 2021 I criticised Paul Keating's comments on Taiwan in 'Wrong Thinking' Website Posts.
"China is an aggressive, autocratic communist power," Professor Dibb told ABC. "According to Xi Jinping, the time is now on the side of the People's Republic of China to revenge the century of humiliation in the 19th century, and to take over as the leading power in our region from the United States." (i)
A.I. comments… The ABC has not been reading my reports and consequently made no additional remarks to add to the concerns tabled by Professor Dibb.
But so-called expert Dibbs made some mistakes in his delivery. He failed to comment on the following historical facts. Communism did not exist until the 20th Century 2017. Mao copied Karl Marx 'Communist Manifesto' German ideas from the 19th Century.
Whilst Imperialism did wrong things in China, it must be remembered that the Chinese people were ruled by Emperor Dictatorship until they were freed in the 20th Century in 1912. Taiwan has protected and preserved its freedom since 1912 until 2022… plus?
The Chinese people suffered more humiliation and persecution from the Emperors of China than from Imperialism. The Emperors executed many Chinese people by beheading them.
The 'Communist Claim' by Xi Jinping that he is revenging the century of humiliation in the 19th Century, is a lie. The people were freed in 2012 from the aggressive tyranny of Emperors. In 1949 the Mainland Chinese people lost their right to live free, when evil Mao Zedong conquered the Chinese people by use of violent armed force. The Chinese people did not have the arms to defend themselves against the Communists and thus became a humiliated defeated people by cruel persecution.
Mao also invaded Tibet in 1950 a peaceful Buddhist Community. The Tibetans lost their right to live free and also were humiliated and cruelly persecuted.
Over eighty million Chinese were cruelly murdered by Communists including one million Tibetans.
In addition thousands of Chinese People were murdered in the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre. In addition hundreds of Chinese people in Hong Kong and previously in Mainland China have been arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for using free speech in written posts, newspapers and books.
One mainland Chinese Person was awarded the 'Noble Peace Prize for his talented 'Freedom Spirit' writing. He was denied the right to receive it by Communist Party Leaders. Imprisoned for life he suffered humiliation and persecution. He died in house detention alone and sad, yearning for the right to live free. Xi Jinping is a liar when he claims that he wants to revenge the people of the 19th Century. Xi Jinping reveres evil Mao Zedong and has the mentality of Mao in his brain.
"Professor Dibb warned that if a conflict broke out Australia would be dragged into it to support the United States – or risk destroying the ANZUS alliance." (i)
A.I. comments… We dedicated ANZAC spirited Aussies have always known since WWII that we will always stand strong in alliance with The United States of America. And our allegiance to the non-binding ANZUS Treaty since 1951 with the United States and question mark New Zealand, has always been a survival commitment by Australia with the United States as allies. Xi Jinping hates this Australian-American alliance, because he wants ownership control of Australia.
"Professor Dibb is the former director of the Defence Intelligence Organisation and former deputy secretary for strategy and intelligence in the Department of Defence." (i)
"He [Dibb] was the primary author of the 1997 Defence White Paper, a forerunner to the defence review announced this week by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, to be headed by Professor Stephen Smith and former chief of the Australian Defence Force, Angus Houston." (i)
A.I. comments… This tabled information shakes my confidence in the so-called Dibb expert supporter of the Defence White Paper, which began by the lack of logic of Labor PM Whitlam in 1975, and not one PM since corrected the erroneous strategy created by Whitlam, which weakened the 'Strength of the Australian Defence Force'. Meanwhile Xi Jinping is smiling at Australian Stupidity.
It is clear to me that I must investigate PM Anthony Albanese change in Defence Review. Will this Labor 'Defence Review' be weaker or stronger than the incompetent 'White Paper Bureaucracy' founded by Labor in 1975? Who is Professor Stephen Smith and former chief of the Australian Defence Force, Angus Houston? How good are they? And what is their performance history? And why aren't we going back to smarter management of the military prior to 1975?
The following is an extract from my treatise report dated March 22nd of 2021 on the subject… 'White Paper' Bureaucracy is slowing down Australia's urgently needed growth in strength of our Military Defence System'.
After reading this you will know why I lost confidence in the so-called expert skills of Professor Dibb when I learned that he was the primary author of the '1997 Defence White Paper' and did not make a common-sense recommendation that the 'Defence White Paper' should be abolished and replaced by common-sense appointment of a Minister for Army, a Minister for Navy, and a Minister for Air, as I tabled below with reason.
The below extract # from the White Paper Bureaucracy paper I published in March 2021 that wimp Australian Politicians refused to read…
"It has been reported that our Politicians use for their decisions a 'Defence White Paper' the last one published in 2016. It was the eighth defence whitepaper since 1976. The papers encourage politicians to form their military policies based upon the information recorded in these 'White Papers'. The information in these papers is based upon leading policy experts and senior military personnel. Of course, we do not know who those so-called experts are, and we do not know their belief system, they could be anti-freedom Socialists or Communists; or their expertise could be political void of real military skills. Since these papers do not inspire much controversy, it suggests that the ideas tabled by military personnel are either walking too soft or the real military leaders are politically hushed from saying it the way it is." #
"In any event, the 'White Papers' have failed, they have not given Australia since 1976 a strong growing Australian Military Force in Army, Navy and Airforce." #
"Five years have passed since the delivery of the last 'Defence White Paper'. More proof that the growth of our Military Strength is weakened by Political Incompetence." #
"We need to eliminate the bureaucratic red tape 'White Papers' and appoint a Minister for Army, a Minister for Navy, and a Minister for Air whose responsibility is to work on building a strong defence system in personnel and equipment and strategy. They should be requisitioning the equipment and resources they want as a clear-cut tabled objective and the Prime Minister and Treasurer should be striving to support their needs to build a stronger military defence force." #
"Burying a list of equipment needed by the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Australian Airforce in a 'White Paper' presentation slows down the delivery performance." #
"Classic example: 12 new submarines are needed to replace the Collins class submarines. Delivery date chosen by politicians is 12 to 15 years. No wonder 'Communist China' is laughing at us." #
"Why are not the Military Personnel fighting for more equipment? Because our Politicians have failed to support their needs. The 'White Paper' procedure buries progress and achievement. The results of slow growth in military strength since 1975 proves it." #
"Where are all our aircraft carriers, submarines, planes, and missiles guarding our Australian entire coastline? 'Communist China' moves around us whenever it wants for whatever excuse it tables to keep an eye on us." #
"It is not clear to the public whether these items listed in the 'White Paper' were approved, purchased, and delivered but if each military service had its own independent requisition, process being managed as an objective, pressure to deliver could be increased." #
"And performance can be monitored and measured." #
"In addition, we need to answer the question, "How much self-sufficiency activity is used by us in home construction of our military equipment needs?" #
"Meanwhile, a former Australian Army Major General has warned China could attack resources in a similar way to the infamous surprise attack on Pearl Harbour in World War II." (i)
A.I. comments… Yes, we must expect the unexpected and stay alert. But such an attack would fail, because USA is still strong enough to destroy 'Communist Military Forces'.
"Liberal Senator Jim Molan believes it's possible China could achieve its twofold objective of removing American influence from the western Pacific and bringing Taiwan into its control by attacking US resources in the region." (i)
A.I. comments… Molan it is not possible if the USA has a strong President like Donald Trump was. But it is possible under a weak President like Joe Biden.
"Having removed America from the Western Pacific they say to Taiwan, well, Taiwan, what are you going to do now? Are you going to fight on without the Americans backing you up? Of Course, they're not," Mr. Molan told Sky News Australia. (i)
A.I. comments… Australian Liberal Senator Jim Molan has a negative mentality; we cannot rely on this wimp to stand up strong against Communist Xi Jinping. He clearly does not understand 'Freedom Resistance' belief system.
The Taiwanese are no different to the patriotic willpower of Ukrainians fighting Putin's military invasion to the death. With or without American support the Taiwanese will fight to the death for their right to live free. Obviously, Taiwan by common-sense wants USA support. But they will fight to the death, because like all 'Freedom Resistance' in history, people would rather die in battle for their right to live free than submit to the cruel tyranny of 'Authoritarian Oppression'. Molan is too afraid to be relied on to defend Australia's right to live free. We do not want wimps like him in Politics and in the Senate.
When ANZAC Australians fought on the Kokoda trail against the Japanese in WWII, they fought to the death, with a shortage of better weapons than the JAPS, many of those Australian soldiers were only 18 years old and they knew they were going to die. But they chose, courageously to fight to the death, to stop the Japanese invading Australia. In 1836, Americans fought to the death in a 13 day siege at the 'Battle of the Alamo', to stop Santa Anna from invading USA. Hence, the cry in centuries ahead, "Remember the Alamo!" Three Hundred Spartans fought to the death in 'The Battle of Thermopylae' to stop the Persian invasion of Sparta. The valiant Spartans succeeded, even though they all perished in the battle. Throughout Europe, after the Nazis invaded all countries, 'Freedom Resistance' groups fought to the death against the Nazis, the ones I remember was the 'French Resistance' and the 'Norwegian Resistance' and the 'Polish Resistance'. Spartacus fought the Romans to the death for the right of slaves to live free.
Molan does not get it; without freedom we have nothing. Without 'Freedom' we have no security and no safety.
"Molan then went on to warn that Australia should be very careful about its commitment to the United States if such a scenario eventuated." (i)
A.I. comments… Molan indicates by his statement "be very careful about its commitment to the United States" that he is trembling afraid to stand United with America as an ally, clearly, he would rather be a coward than oppose the oppressive dictatorship of Xi Jinping, Communist Beijing. Molan suggests we should change our allegiance to 'Communist Beijing' and walk away from USA alliance to save ourselves from being attacked by gangster despot Xi Jinping. As I have said in the past, never trust a coward.
As I said previously, weak Joe Biden may backdown on defending Taiwan, but even he cannot backdown on defending Australia against Communist China.
I have made it accurately clear in my writing that Xi Jinping and I are enemies. Why? Because I stand for 'Freedom' and Jinping stands for 'Oppression'.
Molan does not have the guts to write against Xi Jinping and Communism, like I have regularly since November 2018. I have no respect for cowards and traitors.
Molan says, "Whatever it will be that war will be high technology, it will be sharp, it will be fast – and we won't have a clue that it's coming." (i)
A.I. comments… Molan is right. But why are we now trapped in this dangerous position? We are in this threating dangerous mess because political wimps like Molan have done nothing to make 'Australia Strong Again'. They have failed to rapidly strengthen our Military Defence. They have failed to establish around Australia Missile Bases 'Air to Air' and have failed to establish Long-Range Missile Bases in the North that can reach Communist China.
These weak incompetent politicians have failed to rebuild 'Australian Self-Sufficiency' in Manufacturing, Primary Industry, and Energy and Communication. These pathetic politicians have also failed to phase out all imports of products from Communist China.
On my watch, I shall keep hunting and exposing coward politicians and traitors. History will know the truth about 21st Century Australians, battle to survive to live free, from the tyranny of Communist Beijing China led by Mao Mentality Gangster Despot Xi Jinping.
Allan Ivarsson PhD P.I. 2022 (now 73 years of age.)
Ps. There are far too many people in life that think they have the right to dictate by force how other peaceful honourable decent people must live. Authoritarianism is not acceptable behaviour. Every person has the right to live free, in speech, choice and equality provided they do not abuse their 'Freedom Privilege' by denying others the same right to live free.
There is no place for any form of 'Totalitarianism' in a wholesome good decent society.
This Treatise of Serious Concern was researched and written by Allan Ivarsson during his painful stress of suffering from COVID. He continued his work to fight for people's right to live Free, because he deems it is his duty as instructed to him by Spiritual 'God of Creation' to fight for the eternal right of all humans to live free from the oppression of all anti-freedom ideologies. Allan lives tough, no matter how much pain he has to suffer. There is no place for anti-freedom 'Sharia Law' and anti-freedom 'Fascism' and anti-freedom 'Marxist Socialist Communism' in a decent wholesome society. 'Lest We Forget'.
Transcript Copy of A.I. Comments on above slide.
My Engineering friend and I have been talking about the urgent needed upgrade of Military Strength including Priority One Missile Bases, Long Range & 'Air to Air' for the last two years ever since Xi Jinping began threatening us. And we have often talked about the need for 'Self-Sufficiency' and fade out of import & export with Communist China.
I have posted several important Treatise reports on these subjects over the last almost three years, and politicians in Australia cannot keep up with me. They have a 'Rip Van Winkle' mentality.
But our constant question is… Why are Australian Politicians so incompetent, void of survival common-sense? Labor, Liberal, Greens, Independents, Federal & State, are all asleep, more mouth than common-sense Project Management Action Skills, to 'Make Australia Strong Again' Safe & Secure.
It seems our wimp Politicians are more interested in votes and greed and their own vanity than doing the right thing by all 'Freedom Loving' Australians.
One of the reasons Politicians are incompetent is because they do not have 'Corporation' skills in 'Project Management' -Target, Tracking Performance & Achieved. Politicians are too focused on 'Shoot from the Hip', Knee Jerk Reaction 'Spin' to 'Con' the people to vote for them. In all of their wishy-washy statements, no evidence is on the table that Politicians can deliver results. All talk no action is a consequence of incompetent politicians.

Previous PostPrevious Sorry Readers, I have been ill for 'Five Days' with COVID… I struggle to do essential work, stop, start, stop, start, dealing with subjects to protect our eternal right to live 'Free' in Speech, Choice and Equality. I always selectively post concerns after wading through volumes of information, to remove false knowledge, to put the truth on the table. We must stay focused on the real dangers threatening our existence. We cannot be foolish by ignoring the persistent dangerous threat of all anti-freedom ideologies, like 'Sharia Law' & 'Marxist Socialist Communism'. Without Freedom, we have nothing. Without Freedom, we do not have Security and Safety. Guns and Weapons constantly fail. We need to become smarter. The way of wisdom is 'Philosophical Intelligence'. A.I. 2022

A recent arbitration award has confirmed that where an employer has legitimate concerns regarding safety in the workplace, it may install and operate video surveillance. This decision, which involved surveillance in a fire station to ensure equipment was not tampered with, engaged privacy considerations, the reasonableness of such surveillance and whether the surveillance was conducted in a reasonable manner.
The significance of this award is in its analysis of when video surveillance would be useful in the workplace. Here, the employer was attempting to address a legitimate safety issue, which necessitated its action. The surveillance was not constant nor ongoing. It involved monitoring of a fixed area of the fire station, and not of employees. A recent incident of tampering with the equipment was not necessary to establish the reasonableness of the conduct.


Bethel Evangelical Church in south Minneapolis partnered with MN Community Solar to host a community solar garden on their education wing, recruit subscribers from the congregation and community, and subscribe to the electricity being generated by their solar garden. The congregation has used the subscription drive as an educational tool to teach the Church's children about the environmental stewardship and as an outreach tool to display the Church's values to the larger community.
This congregation has long had a spiritual commitment to environmental stewardship. Working with the community to create a solar garden is a concrete step toward better nourishing God's Creation.
This garden is fully subscribed, so it is no longer open to others.
This garden is currently full. But we have many other gardens that still need subscribers. Visit our website or send an email to subscribe@mncommunitysolar.com.


Trail lifted a rear leg on our pet expectations.
White Westhighland (Westies) need plenty of exercise and playtime … excel at agility, obedience, flyball, and other canine sports. These activities stimulate his bright mind and channel his boundless energy.
Yup, playful, agile, energetic, obedient White Westies. So says the website. Trail clarified our delusions starting with his breed's name. White? Trail rejects White.
Trail hurtles himself hedonist-style, buries his nose and rolls, talking non-stop to the dirt, grass, or snow. He emerges joyfully, his coat drenched in goop, chlorophyll, or icy pompoms.
Trail encompasses all five of the TKI preferences (Collaborating, Compromising, Accommodating, Avoiding, Competing).
In a competition between a brilliant-white dog and a joyful dog, I relinquish roll control to Trail.
• Waking us to help a disabled house guest who'd fallen during the night.
• Diving into the water to help when someone toppled out of the canoe.
• Waiting at forks in the road to guide laggard hikers on the right path.
• Running a black bear thirty feet up a tree in our back yard, where it clung while Trail barked and tried to climb after it.
When it seems he's all about him, he accommodates himself completely to others.
His responsive tail, bendable to his mood, telegraphs Trail's emotions with an honesty that wrenches my heart. If I misread his tail's meaning, he's kind and forgiving.
I want that collaborative heart in all my relationships.
He retrieved ball and stick – one of each. The first ball I threw, 12-week old Trail brought back in his little mouth and dropped at my feet. Trail stroked the lake until the stick I tossed was drawn to where he could reach it without getting wet. Both times I praised, rewarded him, and threw it again. Both times he tilted his head as if saying, "I already brought it back; now you get it." I tug a toy and he walks foward holding his end.
So, he misses out on play or sport; he's endless fun of his own kind. Avoiding one kind opens space for others.
Other humans spell w-a-l-k or their dog explodes. We excitedly say, "Walk", and Trail lies down, chin on paws. "Okay," he seems to sigh, "if you insist." We 'walk at a Trail's pace', more pulse than walk – shuffle, stop, shuffle, stop. Repeat.
An eighteen pound anchor on a rope, he'll sit to watch any activity like his personal television, leaving me on standby until his program ends.
We should've named him Speedy since 'Trail' became destiny.
Yoda Trail, for oh so many reasons.
It's our particular compromise, Trail's and mine. He'll eventually arrive, and I get to practice patience.
Trail learns concepts incredibly fast, and, when inclined or not distracted sniffing every petal of every flower, he obeys the dozens of words he understands – eventually.
Maybe Trail is too smart to waste his boundless energy. He waits until we're committed to a direction, in case we reverse and can pick him up on our return. He walks 4.5 kilometers to my five.
We're sure he solves problems, counts at least three, and understands basic geometry and connectivity. He studied a cattle grid and then trotted across, each paw set confidently.
For errands and time sensitive walks, Trail tolerates a leash. He's clear what he won't tolerate. Trail intervenes like a mediator between dogs playing rough. If Decker and I split to do separate errands, Trail sits down and refuses to go with either of us.
Trail couldn't fake it if he tried. His tail tells his truth.
Would it be helpful if people still had tails?
Is peace a reward for patience?

The 19th in the annual Institutional Web Management Workshop series, IWMW 2015, will take place at Edge Hill University on 27-29 July.
The event is aimed at members of institutional web management teams, who have responsibilities for managing large-scale institutional web services.
At last year's event, IWMW 2014, there was a recognition that the term 'web' sounds somewhat dated, with institutions now focusing on their 'digital' strategies and having digital teams to implement such strategies.
This year's event has the theme "Beyond Digital: Transforming the Institution" which reflects the changing environment, and how moves towards embedding digital approaches are likely to require changes in established institutional practices.
The event consists of three days of plenary talks, half day master classes and shorted workshop sessions.
Beyond the Institution: In light of the importance of use of third party services for supporting institutional services there will be three talks from organisations who can support institutional activities: Jisc, LinkedIn and PwC.
This year's final day, however, finishes with a session entitled "Beyond the Institution", with three speakers who work for organisations which are not directly part of the higher educational sector: Jisc's "Cloud first/ mobile first" platform, the role of LinkedIn for higher education and how universities can leverage LinkedIn to engage future, current and past students and perspectives on the 'Agile University'.
Leading Universities are looking beyond the short-term impact of an improved web or open-day experience, towards the delivery of simpler, faster, personalised interactions throughout the entire institution.
PwC provide insights into the workings of the world's most innovative universities and describe the future-proof architectures that build an amazing educational experience on the three pillars of simplification, personalisation and value-focus. This session will start with the approach and mind-set required to become an Agile University, discussing how it can help balance the books within a year, and show examples of how you can transcend your competition to become a Category of One.
However since the majority of the delegates work for higher educational institutions we will ensure there is time for questions at the end of each of these plenary talks. In addition in a final panel session a number of experienced web managers will respond to the ideas given by the plenary speakers in this session and other ideas, proposals and suggestions which have emerged over the three days.
Still Opportunities to Book Your Place!
Although the official closing date for bookings has passed we have been informed that university finance departments will need additional time to process bookings. We will therefore keep the bookings open for a while longer.

Grandma unintentionally buys very rude Christmas jumper for work
Carolyn Hallam was delighted to find a Christmas jumper for 50p at a car boot sale during the summer.
The 53-year-old, from Nottingham, wanted one to wear for her job as a teaching assistant at a school during the festive season.
But at the time, she didn't take a proper look at the design and had no idea it actually features images of reindeers having sex.
Her daughter, Abigail Hallam, 29, also from Nottingham, shared photos of the find on social media and it has left people in stitches, with the post racking up nearly 2,000 likes so far.
'We love to find bargains at the car boot sales and so mum was extremely pleased to have found a Christmas jumper for 50p in the summer last year,' Abigail said.
'She picked it up and had a quick look and realised it was a Christmas jumper so she thought it would be okay to wear for work. She put it in her plastic bag and didn't think anything of it till she got home.
'We always go through what we have bought from the car boot and have a proper look once we get home. Mum realised after holding it up to look at the pattern properly.
'She then tried it on and proudly asked me "Do you like my Christmas cardigan?"
'I didn't notice at first and said "ooh yes, it's lovely" then she asked what I thought of the pattern and I burst out laughing.'
Thankfully, Carolyn saw the funny side of the situation and was thankful she hadn't spent too much on the jumper.
Abigail added: 'When mum realised it was actually a rude Christmas jumper, she laughed out loud and thought it was hilarious.
'She was relieved that she saw what was on it before wearing it to work in a primary school. After we realised it was rude she was even more pleased with her bargain.'
Carolyn has since got a jumper that is more appropriate for work, but the naughty reindeer jumper is still her favourite and she wears it at any suitable opportunities.
And she's not the only one who likes it, with many people online who commented on the post saying they love the funny pattern.
'Took me a minute,' commented one person, who was struggling to spot the dirty reindeer scene.
'Omg that's hilarious,' added someone else. [sic]
'That is priceless! Thanks for the laugh!' wrote another person.

*

*black line for logistic growth model

*red line for exponential decay model

*just dot for third heading using pch

*just plus for fourth heading using pch

but when i use pch it gives for all four headings. I want simple black and red lines for first and second. and simple dot and plus for third and fourth. please guide me what would be the code? I am using as follows:
legend(100, 2500, legend = c("logistic growth model", "exponential decay model", "observation in years 100-150", "observation in years 151-200"))

after this i dont how to add next functions. please help

A: Add the following 3 arguments into your function legend():

*

*Plotting symbols : pch = c(NA, NA, 1, 3)

*Line types : lty = c(1, 1, NA, NA)

*Colors : col = c(1, 2, 1, 4))
The main point is that using NA to undo the influences of pch and lty.

Illegal buildings in Chennai

Chennai development body to crack down on unauthorised construction
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) tasked to crack down on unauthorised construction in the city has locked and sealed hardly 15 such structures a year since 2017. Yogesh Kabirdoss | TNN | December 05, 2019, 18:30 IST
CHENNAI: The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) tasked to crack down on unauthorised construction in the city has locked and sealed hardly 15 such structures a year since 2017.
This when there are complaints about at least 1,000 such illegal structures spread across the Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA), which covers the city proper and suburbs in Chengalpet, Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur districts.
The Special Task Force (STF), a multi-department body set up 11 months ago to identify and close down unauthorised buildings, also remains a mute spectator.
Officials blame it on lack of staff, urban development activists blame it on mixed-up priorities.
This year, authorities had to again close down 35 buildings that had been sealed in the past, but were subsequently occupied by the violators. While a majority of these buildings are located at George Town and Thyagaraya Nagar, some are situated on the outskirts of the city.
Except for conducting three meetings, the STF, which has representatives from 14 departments including housing and urban development, Greater Chennai Corporation, municipal administration, police, Metrowater and Tangedco, has not done much to curtail violations. The ambitious plan was to equip STF field staff with GPS-enabled cameras to shoot photographs and videos of violations that could be used as evidence to initiate action.
Official sources said manpower was the biggest bottleneck. The planning authority (CMDA) that should have a strength of 800 employees is running with less than 250 persons, said a housing and urban development department official. In several cases, local bodies that face pressure not to seal buildings were awaiting CMDA's support," the official added.
CMDA member-secretary D Karthikeyan and housing and urban development secretary Rajesh Lakhoni could not be reached by TOI for their comments.
Urban development experts said CMDA should concentre on planning and development and leave enforcement to other agencies like the civic body. Former professor of urban engineering at Anna University K P Subramanian said the planning authority could afford to be only reactive and not proactive in enforcement because of manpower shortage.
"They could take enforcement action only on representations or petitions from neighbours of violators. Therefore, CMDA should delegate enforcement functions to the Greater Chennai Corporation and other local bodies and focus on proper planning and development," he added.

Q: How to Modify Polygons in GeoDjango? Just getting acquainted with GeoDjango. Have Basic Tutorial app created with sample world data. In trying out the admin, I appreciate seeing the polygon on the map and a couple basic tools for adding a new polygon and a tool for moving existing points.
Question:
What options are there for actually DELETING existing points?
Are there other tools for easily creating/editing map polygons. I am targeting Google Maps API. My GeoDjango App will be the back end for generating Google Maps. Looking for options for creating/modifying boundaries/polygons to be maintained by GeoDjango.
Thank you :)


Like pretty near every living thing, plants need food and water. But just like any other living thing, too much can be a bad thing. The only trick is, with plants, just the right amount can also be a bad thing. This may sound silly, but it really is true.
Let's talk about woody plants and perennials here. Annuals are a little different because of their short lifespan and don't need to live the winter months. You get a nice fancy looking perennial or shrub, or even a rose and you put it in the ground. You want to have this nice plant for a very long time so you make sure to do what you think is best.
First mistake: getting rid of all the "bad" soil and putting in top soil or something else. Wait a second, isn't that a good thing? Well, the intentions are good, but the end result is probably not what you like. If you dig a hole in poor soil and replace it with all good soil, the roots of the plant never want to leave the good soil. That means it won't fully root into the ground properly. The correct thing to do is mix in some organic matter into your existing soil to create a buffer zone that the roots are willing to go through. Organic matter can be anything that either was alive or is derived from something alive - manure, compost, or peat moss. Peat moss is the least expensive and does a great job. It's also the safest to use if you're not sure how much to add since peat moss won't burn off young roots.
Second mistake: forgetting bone meal. Bone meal is one of natures best examples of recycling and it's one of the first fertilziers discovered by humans - grave-robbers in fact. These ground up bones feed plant roots slowly to help them adjust to their new home. A medium handfull for shrubs, larger handfulls for trees. Adjust rates accordingly for perennials and annuals, but it helps all plants.
Third mistake: the wrong fertilizer. This is probably the single most common mistake I hear. Somebody calls me in the spring with problems on the tree or shrub and we ask if it has been fertilizer. The answer is usually "yes" but with the wrong food. Miracle-Gro is the most common answer, though any fertilizer not specifically designed for young plants can very well burn the roots of young plants. Miracle-Gro does make a Quick Start fertilizer which can be used. Either that, or look for names like Plant Start or Transplanter. Never use an all purpose food or any other food for the first year. That's right, the first year. You can repeat the transplant fertilizer once every two weeks to develop those roots, after all, that's your foundation of the plant and the rest will follow if you have healthy roots.
Forth mistake: lots of water. Too much water can be as bad as not enough water. Too much water can drown plants or start a chain reaction of root-rot which can be hard to stop. The "perfect" amount of water is actually slightly less than you would expect. The plant should get a little dry between watering, but the waterings should be thorough when they happen. The slight bit of dryness stimulates the plant to start making new roots to find water. If a plant always has enough water, you can end up with a root system that's perfectly happy to sit still and not grow. I have found this to happen most often with roses since people tend to baby them more.
Gardeners take care of plants all with the best of intentions, but care must be taken not to overcare for them. I suppose it would be similar to sheltering a child resulting in an adult who really isn't all that sure what to do when they enter the real world. A little care and thought will go a long way in the garden.

He tried to bribe an employee of the internal security department.
The prosecutor's office of Lviv Region and the internal security department of the State Fiscal Service detained the head of a local customs post on 11 August.
The website of the Lviv Prosecutor's Office said the suspect tried to bribe an employee of the internal security to prevent his unit from interfering with the customs unit's "illegal activities."
Prosecutors are investigating the incident.
According to the State Fiscal Service, the head of the customs post Zakhidnyy in the town of Horodok is Oleh Chykalkyn.
A few days ago, two corrupt customs officers of the Vilok checkpoint were detained in Transcarpathian Region. They had passports of a foreign state on them.


Haunch of Venison is pleased to present a seminal exhibition by Günther Uecker, the first New York exhibition of new work by the artist since 1966. One of Germany's most influential living artists, Uecker has created over fifteen new works for this show, which will include iconic nail works alongside works that continue the artist's aim to confront global political, cultural, and religious tensions worldwide. The exhibition immediately follows a survey show of the artist's work at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Iran.
In his works on canvas on wooden board Uecker uses hundreds of nails driven methodically into wood to produce rhythmic structures and forms. The beauty of the compositions stands in stark contrast to the aggressive physical act of producing them, a reference to pain, crucifixion and man's violence upon his fellow man. The German artist spent his formative years amid the horrors of World War II, making the allusions to pain and penance especially poignant.
For these new paintings Uecker borrowed confrontational words from the Old Testament and etched them into the paint before driving nails through them. He will also present a mural of works on paper emblazoned with the same aggressive language translated into Farsi and a nail piece of a deconstructed Star of David. Exploring similar themes that led him to create a nondenominational prayer room for the Reichstag building in Berlin, Uecker hopes to create a space for dialogue between three major religions of the world. "Art cannot salvage humanity, but with the means of art a dialogue can be enabled, calling out for the preservation of humanity," he explains.
Uecker was a founding member of the ZERO Group with Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, whose principles centered on rebelling against the traditional methods of creation and more generally of the establishment in Germany after World War II. Like a spaceship taking off at the number zero, their bold opposition led them to employ radical materials; this is where Uecker uses the nail. Uecker began working with nails in 1956, hammering them into household objects, furniture and panels, rendering them as fetishlike and animated. He is also celebrated for his use of found, raw materials such as sand, ash, stones and string, suggesting the transitory state of nature and the physicality of these objects beyond their perceived function. His range of practice also includes performances, films and stage designs.
Günther Uecker (b. 1930) was born in Mechlenburg, Germany in 1930. His works are included in prestigious permanent collections around the world including the Tate Modern, London; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Georges Pompidou Centre, Paris; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice. He has exhibited at the foremost institutions in the world, most recently in critically acclaimed The Ghosts in the Machine exhibition at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Seattle Art Museum.
