LONDON ENDURES
Theresa May's administration has suffered an almighty blow in Parliament and is bracing for a vote of no confidence later this evening. All bar eight of the capital's 73 MPs voted to reject the Prime Minister's deal, including 13 of the capital's 21 Tories; Remainers such as former misters Jo Johnson and Justine Greening joined arch-Leavers including Zac Goldsmith and Theresa Villiers to condemn the Government to a huge defeat.

Meanwhile, this edition covers the London Plan's Examination in Public as it enters its first week of hearings – a crucial milestone on its path to adoption towards the last quarter of the year. We also take a look at several other major planning and development stories in the capital as well as people moves, the 2020 London Elections, property law, culture, and the environment.
And that's not all! We further provide a sneak peek at an exciting week for LCA's growing team, in a bumper edition which reminds us that the capital remains as busy as ever.
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback and do follow us on Twitter and Instagram if you don't already. Also, feel free to visit our website for more information on LCA's team, services, and clients.
EIP HEARINGS UNDERWAY
The draft new London Plan's Examination in Public (EiP) hearings phase began in earnest on Tuesday. There will be 50 sessions held in total over 11 weeks, concluding on Friday 17 May. At the hearings – which are open to the public – Examiners receive representations on behalf of the Mayor (mostly by GLA officers and on occasion the relevant Deputy Mayors), as well as other stakeholders from across sectors. This first week focuses on high-level matters such as the Plan's impact on environmental sustainability and social equality (discussed yesterday), the Mayor's consultation and engagement with affected stakeholders (discussed this morning) and finally, the 'Good Growth ' principles underpinning the Plan (discussed earlier this afternoon). Next week's sessions will begin to hone in on more specific policies, such as the Plan's 'overall spatial development strategy' and its approach to Opportunity Areas. Following the hearings and sometime during the summer, the Examiners will publish their report, after which the Mayor can publish his final Plan. Sadiq may in theory ignore Examiners' recommendations for amendments, but he must explain his reasoning to the Communities Secretary, who does have the power to direct changes – indeed, James Brokenshire has already argued that elements of the draft Plan are not in line with national policies.
GLA PLANNING LATEST
On 21 December and 2 January, Sadiq quietly published his and TfL's comments on new or revised Local Plans being mooted by Westminster, Brent and Lambeth – as well as a number of other local planning policies these three councils have been consulting on in recent months. The Mayor's responses focus on whether these are in line with the current and draft new London Plan and suggest that City Hall and Town Halls are not fully aligned on many points.
Indicatively:
On Brent's revised Local Plan, Sadiq recognises the council's 'reluctance to implement its small housing target' but insists that it is achievable and should be better reflected in its policies. Similarly, he urges Brent to raise its Local Plan's overall housing delivery target, which commits to 23,711 homes between 2019 and 2029 and thus falls short of its new London Plan housing target for that period, by 5,439 homes. The Mayor also asserts that the local plan 'should adopt a more proactive approach' to implementing London Plan policies relating to industrial land.
On Lambeth's 'partial review' of its existing Local Plan, Sadiq welcomes its close alignment with the new London Plan in most aspects of its housing requirement assessment and delivery targets. But he also expresses a number of disagreements on the designation of – and policies for – town centres and Metropolitan Centres. The Mayor also recommends amendments to Lambeth's proposed policies on small sites and shared ownership.
On the new Westminster Draft City Plan 2019-2040, the Mayor calls for 'more ambition' in some areas, such as the Opportunity Areas of Tottenham Court and Paddington. He also takes a stab at the council's parking policies and of course its Oxford Street transformation plans. But Khan does cautiously welcome the council's commitment to delivering 1,495 homes a year (above the 1,010 homes in its new London Plan target), as well as its requirement that affordable housing be provided on-site.
CITY OF LONDON LATEST
Images illustrating what the Square Mile skyline will look like in 2026 have been published by the Corporation. These show seven new tall buildings whose construction is currently underway, as well as a further six which have been granted planning permission.
Plans for Norman Foster's proposed 'Tulip' tower in the City have faced opposition from a number of conservation bodies, but a ComRes poll suggests it enjoys significant public support. The poll found that 65% of respondents believed that the skyscraper would be 'an attractive addition to the London skyline'.
The Corporation's draft City Plan is currently out for consultation, until 28 February, but its Transport Strategy's final round of consultation ended on 13 January.
Spelthorne Borough Council, in Surrey, is buying 100 Cheapside in the City, as well as a development in Battersea next to the US Embassy. According to relevant reports, the local authority is in the process of finalising the purchase of the two office blocks, at a total cost of £1bn.
LAMBETH LATEST
Lib Peck, the Labour leader of Lambeth Council, has announced that she will be standing down in order to take on the role of Director of City Hall's new Violence Reduction Unit (VRU). No dates have yet been announced for her standing down, for her seat's by-election, or for her replacement – though we expect the last to be decided by councillors at a meeting of Lambeth Council in early February. Conservative Assembly Member Steve O'Connell, as Chairman of the Police and Crime Committee, has welcomed the appointment. But his fellow Conservative AMs Gareth Bacon, Susan Hall and Keith Prince, as well as Liberal Democrat AM Caroline Pidgeon, have criticised the appointment as partisan. Interestingly, Conservative Mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey has not commented on the appointment at the time of writing. Peck, who is also currently London Councils' Deputy Chair and Executive Member for Crime and Public Protection, has been appointed at a challenging time for policing in London – only this week, it was reported that the Met Police's homicide and major crime command (HMCC) has seen staff numbers decrease by 26% since 2008.
Meanwhile, Peck's resignation follows that of Thorton ward councillor and Labour Chief Whip Jane Edbrooke last December. It is understood Edbrooke stepped down after taking up a 'politically restricted' day job. The by-election for her seat is set to take place on 7 February. Also on Lambeth Council, we can confirm this week that Sue Foster, Lambeth's Strategic Director of Neighbourhoods and Growth, has left after nine years at the Council.
ISLINGTON LATEST
Islington Council will seek to extend its exemption of permitted development rights in its Central Activities Zone (CAZ), which expires in May. Permitted development rights allow office buildings to be converted into homes without the need for planning permission – a policy which Islington Council argues could have resulted in the loss of 'nationally significant office accommodation' in the CAZ. The Council will make a decision on the extension, which will need to be made through an Article 4 direction, at a meeting of the Executive on 17 January.
AECOM, alongside Penoyre & Prasad and White Arkitekter, have been appointed to design the new Moorfields Eye Hospital in St Pancras in Camden, which would see the hospital leave Islington. As part of the plans, the current St Pancras Hospital is set to be demolished to allow the construction of a new facility to accommodate Moorfields' medical, research and educational services. Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with UCL and Moorfields Eye Charity, hope to
London First has appointed Dame Inga Beale, the former chief executive of Lloyd's of London, to its board.
Dipesh Shah has announced his decision to step down as Chair of the Notting Hill Genesis housing association. His replacement has not been named.
Meanwhile, it has been announced that the Chief Operating Officer of Catalyst Rachael Dennis is to leave the housing association later this year to join housebuilder Taylor Wimpey as a regional Managing Director.
Also in the housing association sector, it has been announced that GLA Assistant Housing Director Jamie Ratcliff will be leaving City Hall to join Network Homes as Executive Director of Business Performance and Partnerships, in April.
In the world of architecture and planning, HOK has announced a number of changes. Design Principal Larry Malcic will be retiring 30 years after setting up the company's London studio. John Rhodes and David Weatherhead have been named as the studio's new Design Principals, while Farrah Hassan-Hardwick has been appointed Marketing Principal.
Finally, in London's health sector, Baroness Neuberger has been appointed University College London Hospitals Foundation Trust's new Chair. She will take up her post in February, succeeding Lord Prior, who left last year to chair NHS England.
2020 LONDON ELECTIONS: BLUE TEAM AND RED TEAM
The two largest parties on the London Assembly have selected their Mayoral candidates for the 2020 London elections and both have begun campaigning – but neither has finalised its of candidate lists (Londonwide and Constituency) for the Assembly elections, which will be held at the same time as the mayoral poll. So where do we currently stand?
Sadiq's candidacy for Labour was confirmed in September and, as reported in last week's LDN, he has already been seen on the campaign trail. But the timelines for the party's Assembly candidate selection process remain obscure and speculation is rife as to whether the regional party will raise the threshold of local party support needed for incumbents to be reselected. We understand that at least three long-serving Labour incumbents will be standing down – of which Andrew Dismore and Jennette Arnold have publicly confirmed their decisions – whilst other veteran GLA Labour Group 'moderates' are expected to fight for their re-selection.
The Conservative campaign led by Mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey, who was provided a launchpad by the party at last October's Party Conference, is comparatively muted. Bailey has recently been spied at CCHQ talking about his campaign plans, but little is known about these beyond party circles. Indeed, the GLA Conservatives' disjointed response to issues such as Lib Peck's appointment (as noted above) suggests that their campaign remains in its infancy and the Assembly candidate selection process is still in the air (though we've heard a couple of incumbents are considering stepping down).
2020 LONDON ELECTIONS: THE YELLOW, THE GREEN AND THE PURPLE
What of the other parties on the London Assembly?
The Liberal Democrats confirmed the selection of Siobhan Benita at their London Regional Conference back in November, and a list of 14 Londonwide candidates. The latter is led by incumbent (and 2016 Mayoral candidate) Caroline Pidgeon, followed in second and third place by Merton Councillor Hina Bokhari and Lucy Salek, who stood as the party's candidate in last year's Lewisham East parliamentary by-election.
The Greens opened their nominations process for both Mayoral and Assembly list candidates before Christmas and only this Monday published their list of all nominees. Voting is now underway and we are expecting the results in about a month's time. Incumbent AMs Sian Berry and Caroline Russell have been nominated for Assembly list candidacies, while Berry is also competing for the Mayoral ballot against Peter Underwood, Shahrar Ali, and Zack Polanski.
As for UKIP, the party has revealed little about its campaign – and its abysmal performance in May's local elections suggests that it will, in any event, be up against it next year. AM Peter Whittle resigned from the party last December and now sits alongside UKIP loyalist David Kurten in the Assembly Chamber under the banner of the Brexit Alliance Group (BAG). Last summer, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage briefly set the rumour mill spinning when he suggested he was considering running for Mayor.
CANARY WHARF GROUP VS EUROPEAN MEDICINES AGENCY
A crucial legal battle between the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and developers Canary Wharf Group (CWG) is set for a court hearing this week. With Brexit in sight, the EU regulatory body is moving to Amsterdam and has been trying to wriggle its way out of a 25-year office lease it signed in 2011 with CWG. There is much more than the eye-watering £500m value of the remaining lease riding on the case, as the EMA is arguing that Britain's decision to leave the EU represents an unforeseen event which fundamentally impairs the performance of its contract. The Times sums up the implications of this quite nicely: 'Lawyers and landlords fear a ruling in favour of the medicines agency could set a precedent for any UK-based business with significant operations located in the European Union to argue Brexit frustrates existing contracts.' The good news is that, again according to the Times, 'no one has successfully argued that a tenant should be able to terminate their lease early' on such a basis. Indeed, the EMA freely agreed the lease with no break clauses and is, apparently, able to sub-let the space if it so wishes.
WALTHAM FOREST IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Over the weekend, a number of events marked Waltham Forest becoming London's inaugural Borough of Culture. 'Welcome to the Forest' kicked off the celebrations, with light installations and a winter carnival, which the Mayor attended on Friday evening. The borough has been awarded a grant of £1.35m (£1.1m of which is from City Hall) to enable a programme of diverse cultural activities, the launch of which was unfortunately marred by the murder of 14-year-old boy Jaden Moodie in the borough only a few days earlier. Some, such as Former Met Police superintendent Leroy Logan, have questioned the amount spent on the London Borough of Culture programme, arguing that the money could have been better spent on 'tackling gang culture'. But Waltham Forest Council has – quite rightly in our opinion – responded that one of the initiative's stated aims is to bring the local community together and provide young people with opportunities to take part in fun and educational activities. The council has also underlined that its inaugural events have paid tribute to Jaden and reflect the local community's struggle with knife crime and its consequences.
LONDON AIR QUALITY
The government this week published its Clean Air Strategy which involves the granting of greater powers to local authorities to enable them to do more in countering air pollution. This follows the launch of City Hall's preparations for the rollout of its Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in April, and London Boroughs are themselves introducing their own initiatives to address the problem. One example of the latter is Hackney, whose ultra-low emissions streets (ULEV streets) initiative – which restricts the use of certain streets to walking, cycling and low emission vehicles only at peak times – was featured in the Guardian last week. Meanwhile, a report by the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP) last week warned Transport for London (TfL) that the concentration of particulate pollution in tube stations can be up to 30 times higher than on busy surface roads in the capital. The very real impact of air pollution can have was highlighted last week, after it was reported that the family of Ella Kissi-Debrah, a nine-year-old girl who died from asthma in 2013, has been given permission to apply for a fresh inquest into her death. Attorney General Geoffrey Cox agreed to the new inquest after he heard new evidence that Ella's death could be linked to unlawful levels of air pollution.
SHELTER REPORT
Following the publication of the government's social housing green paper in August 2018, housing and homelessness charity Shelter has published a report on the future of social housing. It was prepared by Shelter's Social Housing Commission, which was convened in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy with Reverend Dr Mike Long (the Minister of Notting Hill Methodist Church) as its Chair. It highlights the need for a 'decisive and generational shift in housing policy' and urges the government to invest in social housing 'that meets both needs and aspirations'. The report declares that 'the biggest problem with social housing is that there simply isn't enough of it' and identifies a need for an additional 3.1 million social homes over 20 years. The report also makes a number of policy recommendations, touching on everything from Right to Buy to modern methods of construction. One of these recommendations argues that 'residents must have a leading voice in major works to existing homes or neighbourhoods' and that 'the government's good practice guidance on estate regeneration should be revised to reflect this' – residents' ballots are mentioned as one among several potentially useful tools in this regard.
MEANWHILE, AT MERIDIAN WATER
LCA client Enfield Council is now looking for partners to take over two sites for meanwhile use, as development across the £6bn Meridian Water regeneration scheme continues to gain momentum. The Teardrop and Stonehill sites will deliver new meanwhile spaces for potential tenants and occupiers, creating new jobs and opportunities for local people on a scale which will transform the employment base of the Borough. This follows the recent announcement that the annual music festival Field Day is moving to Meridian Water this Summer, occupying four large warehouses across a ten-acre outdoor space. For further details on this opportunity, please visit www.stonehillsite.co.uk and www.teardropsite.co.uk.

E. Franklin Frazier
Edward Franklin Frazier
September 24, 1894 - May 17, 1962
E. Franklin Frazier was born in Baltimore, Maryland on September 24, 1894, one of five children of James H. Frazier, a bank messenger, and Mary Clark Frazier, a housewife. Frazier attended Baltimore public schools before attending classes at Howard University in Washington, DC. He graduated with honors from Howard in 1916.
Frazier began his career teaching mathematics at Tuskegee from 1916 to 1917, English and History at St. Paul's Normal and Industrial School in Lawrenceville, Virginia (1917-1918), and French and Mathematics at Baltimore High School (1918-1919).
Frazier attended Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts where he earned a master's degree in 1920. The topic of his thesis was "New Currents of Thought Among the Colored People of America". It was during his time at Clark that Frazier first became acquainted with sociology.
After spending 1920-1921 as a Russell Sage Foundation fellow at the New York School of Social Work (later Columbia University School of Social Work) and a year at the University of Copenhagen as a fellow of the American Scandinavian Foundation, Frazier accepted an appointment at Atlanta University where he served as the director of the Atlanta School of Social Work and an instructor of sociology at Morehouse College.
During this time Frazier published a number of articles, including "The Pathology of Race Prejudice" in 1927. This article, which argued that racial prejudice was analogous to insanity, stirred such strong reactions among residents in Atlanta that Frazier was removed from his position.
Frazier moved from Atlanta to Chicago where he received a fellowship from the University of Chicago's sociology department. His studies at Chicago culminated in his earning a Ph.D. in 1931. Frazier spent a few few years at Fisk University, followed by a move to Howard University in Washington, DC in 1934.
In 1941, Frazier embarked on a year-long study of family life in Brazil, supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship. He spent the next twenty years associated with Howard University where his work focused on the environment of black colleges, especially that of Howard University.
Frazier was a founding member of the D.C. Sociological Society, serving as President of DCSS in 1943-44. Frazier also served as President of the Eastern Sociological Society in 1944-45. In 1948, Frazier was the first black to serve as President of the American Sociological Society (later renamed Association). His Presidential Address "Race Contacts and the Social Structure," was presented at the organization's annual meeting in Chicago in December 1948.
Frazier died May 17, 1962 in Washngton, D.C. An obituary for Frazier was published in the American Sociological Review.
Written by G. Franklin Edwards, published in the American Sociological Review, 27(6):890-892
Edward Franklin Frazier died in Washington, D.C. on May 17, 1962. He had undergone major surgery six months previously, but had recovered sufficiently to resume his academic duties in February. As Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Howard University, he was carrying a full-time teaching program and was engaged in research activities as well, when he was fatally stricken.
Frazier was born in Baltimore, Maryland on September 24, 1894. His undergraduate degree was completed with honors at Howard University in 1916. He earned a Master's degree in sociology at Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1920 and a doctorate in the same field at the University of Chicago in 1931. In the interval between his graduate degrees, he studied at the New York School of Social Work (1920- 1921) and at the University of Copenhagen (1921-1922). His sociological views were influenced by many of his teachers, but he referred most often to the impressions made upon him by Professor Frank Hankins at Clark and Professors Ernest Burgess and Robert Park at Chicago.
There was on Frazier's part a dedication to academic life, and his contributions lie mainly in his teaching and research activities. In both of these areas he had rich and manifold experiences. In his jocular manner, he delighted in relating that he had taught in every type of educational institution. His emphasis was always upon the degree to which the institutions he served fulfilled what he regarded to be their mission.
His pedagogical career began at Tuskegee Institute in 1916. Later, he held regular appointments, in turn, at Morehouse College, The Atlanta School of Social Work, and Fisk University, before joining the faculty of Howard University in 1934 as Professor and Head of the Department of Sociology. He served at different periods as visiting professor, part-time teacher or lecturer at Livingstone College, the New York School of Social Work, New York University, Sarah Lawrence College, the University of Southern California, Carleton College, the University of California at Berkeley, and the School of Advanced International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University.
Frazier's broad learning and passionate concern for discovering what he termed the "social reality" made him an excellent model for students. His humor, clarity in communication, and love of interaction in classroom situations won for him the admiration and respect of students. Three months before his death, students at Howard University, in acknowledgement of his scholarly achievements and contributions to the intellectual life of the University, set up a lecture series in his honor, with Professor Everett Hughes of Brandeis University, Frazier's long-time friend and respected professional colleague, serving as the first guest lecturer.
An incomplete compilation of Professor Frazier's published works lists 8 books, 89 articles, and 18 chapters in books edited by others. His most significant research contribution was The Negro Family in the United States (1939), which analyzed the historical, social, and economic forces serving to shape the Negro family and assessed the influence of family life upon the behavior of Negroes. The publication of this volume provided an impetus to the emergent tendency to interpret problems of Negro life and behavior in a sociological frame of reference, rather than in terms which attributed problem conditions among Negroes to their innate inferiority. The volume also made a substantial contribution to the literature on the American family. It represented a development of Frazier's earlier studies of the subject which resulted in The Negro Family in Chicago and The Free Negro Family, both of which appeared in 1932. Frazier's interests in a number of research areas-community studies, ecology, stratification, personality, race and culture-coalesced in his studies of the Negro family.
Black Bourgeoisie, published first in French in 1955, and two years later in English, was an analysis of the origin, development, and style of life of the Negro middle class. This work proved to be highly controversial, with some persons regarding it as a mere polemic and others as an exaggerated profile of the class discussed. Its insights and descriptions proved painful to many of its readers. Its satirical style bears a kinship to the technique employed by Frazier in an earlier essay, "The Pathology of Race Prejudice" (Forum, June, 1927), in which an analogy was drawn between the mechanisms which operate in the minds of white southerners with prejudice toward the Negro and those which characterize the thought processes of insane persons. (Upon the publication of this article, Frazier was forced by a white mob to leave Atlanta where he was then teaching.) Black Bourgeoisie and "The Pathology of Race Prejudice," though published more than a quarter of a century apart, where tied together by more than a common style. In both of these works, Frazier demonstrated his determination to describe, analyze, and evaluate social reality as he perceived it, even when he was fully conscious that his evaluation would not be accepted by a great many readers.
The pressures which operate upon Negro intellectuals to engage in race politics and propaganda were resisted by Frazier. W. E. B. DuBois, a scholar-turned-propagandist whom Frazier greatly admired, once stated that Frazier stuck to his academic knitting. It was Frazier's conviction that the true role of the academic man was the development and publication of scientific knowledge. Though, as a realist, he fully recognized that scientific findings are not always immediately accepted by decisionmakers, he also knew that eventually such findings make an impact upon society. In line with his beliefs in this regard, Frazier accepted few non-academic appointments. Of those he did accept, two are deserving of mention. Following the race riot in Harlem in 1935, he directed a study of the social and economic causes of the outbreak for the Mayor's Commission on Conditions in Harlem. In 1951-1953 he served as Chief of the Division of Applied Social Sciences of UNESCO.
Many honors were bestowed upon Frank Frazier by his professional colleagues. He served as president of the District of Columbia and Eastern Sociological societies and, in 1948, was president of the American Sociological Society. He was president-elect of the African Studies Association, of which he was a founding member. He also held important offices in several international sociological organizations. Morgan State College, Baltimore, Maryland, awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1955, and he was similarly honored by the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1960. For Black Bourgeoisie he received, in 1956, the first MacIver Lectureship Award given by the American Sociological Society.
In addition to being a fine exponent of the best tradition in American sociology and scholarship, Frank Frazier was a vital human personality who enjoyed a wide circle of professional friends in this country and abroad. He was a tough-minded intellectual who persevered in rising above many of the frustrations he encountered in Negro educational institutions and community life. His passing marks the end of a distinguished career and a significant loss to the sociological fraternity and to his many friends.

17-year-old girl charged as adult in robbery that led to downtown police shootout, death of brother
By Rob Mackay
SEATTLE -- Prosecutors charged a 17-year-old girl as an adult Tuesday with first-degree robbery and third-degree assault in the downtown incident that led to a shootout between her 19-year-old brother and police. Her brother was killed and three officers were wounded.
Bail was set at $250,000 for Adrianna Butts.
According to court documents, Adrianna Butts told police that she and her brother, Damarius Butts, decided to go into a 7-Eleven on 1st Avenue last Friday to steal food and beer. She said she gave her loaded gun to her brother " because she did not have the heart to show the gun (to the clerk), but she knew her brother did." After grabbing doughnuts and beer and other merchandise, she said, the clerk followed them outside and grabbed her. She said her brother lifted up his shirt, displaying the gun to the clerk, and told the clerk to let her go. The clerk complied. She said she and her brother walked a short distance and then stopped to smoke cigarettes. That's when the police showed up.
She said she gave the stolen items to a friend waiting nearby and then began to run. An officer grabbed her brother and she said she struck the officer on the head with a soda bottle and placed him into a chokehold until he let her brother loose. She said she was taken into custody at that point and that her brother ran, chased by officers. She didn't witness the shooting between her brother and the officers.
Police said Butts opened fire on them and they returned fire. They found his body inside the building he had run into.
On Tuesday, prosecutors explained why they were asking for such a high bail:
"Although the defendant has no criminal history, her actions on this date, including providing a loaded gun to her brother, which he later used to wound three officers; her willingness to repeatedly assault officers discharging their duties; and her assertion that she could have even 'sliced' an officer's neck with a knife she was in possession of when the officer was trying to stop her brother, clearly shows that the defendant is a serious danger to the community."
A third suspect who allegedly received the stolen goods down the street from the store has been released without charges, pending a further investigation, the documents said.
Of the three police officers wounded in the incident, two were treated at Harborview Medical Center last Friday and released. The third officer was last reported to be in serious but stable condition at the hospital Friday night; he has since asked that his condition not be made public.

How to spot a fake mask, and how to stretch the life of a mask


More than 10,000 Iraqis have fled their homes since the October 17 start of an offensive to retake Mosul from the Islamic State jihadist group, the United Nations said Wednesday.
"Over 10,500 people are currently displaced and in need of humanitarian assistance," the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a statement.
While numbers have increased rapidly over the past two days, there was no sign an exodus of larger proportions was beginning.
"Population movements are fluctuating as the front lines move, including people returning to their homes following improved security conditions in the immediate area," it said.
The aid community has been scrambling to build camps and bring equipment to areas on the edges of the Mosul battlefield, a vast area where Iraqi forces are closing in on jihadists from the north, east and south.
Humanitarian workers fear being overwhelmed by huge outflows when the civilians trapped in Mosul find a way out, in an emergency that could dwarf previous displacement crises in Iraq.

H O M E / English / Hospital Introduction
Ehime University established the School of Medicine in 1973. Three years later, in October 1976, the Ehime University Hospital opened its doors and with15 departments and 320 beds. As a core hospital in Ehime Prefecture, Ehime University Hospital has been practicing community-based medical care based on the basic philosophy of "caring for and learning for patients" for about 45 years. Now we have 24 departments, 47 central medical facilities, 644 hospital beds, and a total staff of approximately 1600 people, with around 550 doctors and 740 nurses, pharmacists and radiologists, and other healthcare professionals and administrative staff, all working hard to provide a perfect system of medical care.
Ehime University Hospital has three goals: (1) to be a hospital which is trusted and loved by the people of Ehime, (2) to nurture medical professionals who can understand a patient's perspective, and (3) to create medical expertise which was first nurtured in Ehime and then used all over the world. We do our utmost to provide optimal medical care for each patient by establishing a close relationship to the patient and working together with the patient and the patient's family.
In order to be a hospital trusted and loved by prefectural residents, our first goal, as the only advanced treatment hospital in the prefecture, it is necessary to provide the latest, most advanced, safe and secure medical care. To that end, we, the medical staff, work hard every day to improve medical technology. When introducing advanced medical care, we carefully consider and strictly monitor the process. In addition, in order to practice patient-centered, safe medical care, we are continuously and systematically working to improve medical safety, by reporting and sharing information about incidents, thoroughly implementing measures to prevent medical accidents, responding appropriately to medical accidents, and creating educational, training and management manuals.
With regard to the development of medical professionals who can understand the patient's perspective, our second goal, we have established an educational system based on an integrated curriculum continuing after graduation in order to instill not only general knowledge and skills but also holistic medical care skills. Specifically, we make full use of the advanced simulators at the Postgraduate Clinical Training Center and cadaver training at the Surgical Procedure Training Center, to provide medical knowledge and teach techniques efficiently. In addition, Ehime University Hospital will function as a 'mother' hospital providing multifaceted and continuous support in cooperation with related medical facilities in Ehime Prefecture to train medical professionals who have compassion and deep insight.
Ehime University Hospital has established a Total Medical Support Center (TMSC) with an emphasis on improving the services of patients, which is an extension of the first and second goals. TMSC provides a smooth transition from outpatient admission to comfortable hospitalization, and also creates an admission and discharge plan tailored to each patient, including consideration of life after discharge. In other words, in order not only to provide treatment, but also to function as a place for patients' lives and to enhance their lives after discharge, we provide high-quality medical care in close inter-professional collaboration.
One of university hospital's major missions is to promote research in order to pursue our third goal; develop medical expertise first nurtured in Ehime and then transmitted to the world. At the Translational Research Center, we promote bridging research in various fields and create new methods of medical care at the world level. In the future, we will establish a biobank with the aim of building a research foundation through close collaboration between clinical and basic research. Conducting clinical research is an important role of advanced treatment hospitals. To improve the quality of clinical research, we have established the Clinical Therapeutic Trial Center, the Center for Clinical Research Data and Biostatics, the Division of Clinical Research Quality Management, and the Division of Clinical Research COI Management to enhance our research system.
In addition to these goals, we will strengthen cooperation inside and outside the hospital to protect the people of the prefecture in the case of the spread of unprecedented infectious diseases such as the new coronavirus infection.
It is also our mission to prepare for large-scale disasters such as the expected Nankai Trough Earthquake. We conduct regular large-scale disaster drills and have established a stockpile warehouse for pharmaceuticals and medical equipment on campus, and have established a medical support system to function as a base for medical activities in the event of a disaster.
We will continue to work tirelessly for the well-being of our patients and to contribute to the local community, and we will all work together to become a beloved hospital.
Dr. Takashi Sugiyama
Director of the Ehime University Hospital
Personally, I use the casual Japanese honorific -san when addressing patients rather than the more formal and impersonal -sama honorific, because I believe doctors and patients should stand as equals when it comes to medical care, working together to overcome illnesses and injuries. It goes without saying that we always provide the best possible care for our patients, but in order to achieve even greater efficacy it is vital to understand patient desires in regard to treatment, secure their cooperation, and ensure full understanding by their family members.
In order to fulfill the first goal mentioned above, "be a hospital that is trusted by Ehime Prefecture citizens," we must provide not only state-of-the-art, top-quality treatment, but ensure that said care is safe and puts patients' minds at ease. To this end, our medical staff work each and every day to better themselves and improve our medical techniques and technologies, while also sharing incident reports and other necessary information, fully implementing medical accident countermeasures, responding with courtesy and compassion in the event of a medical mishap, carrying out medical safety education and training, creating medical safety management manuals, and otherwise striving throughout the organization to ensure the provision of safe medical care centered on the patient.
In regard to our second goal, "cultivate medical professionals capable of seeing things from the patient's standpoint," we employ unique undergraduate and graduate school curricula at Ehime University to ensure that students not only gain the medical expertise and skills they require, but also develop rich humanistic qualities and keen insight as medical professionals. In an effort to improve patient services as an extension of this second goal, we established the Ehime University Hospital Comprehensive Medical Support Center[1] in 2013. It was the first facility of its kind of Japan and helps to provide not only more comfortable, smooth patient admissions, but also creates hospitalization plans together with the patient with consideration for patient lifestyle following hospital discharge. Refusing to stop at medical treatment alone, the Center collaborates with professionals in various outside fields to provide high-quality medical care with consideration for patient lifestyles, and as a result this facility has earned high praise from throughout the nation.
Here at the Ehime University Hospital, we consider research to be one of our primary missions, and in order to fulfill the third of our aforementioned goals, "foster medical expertise locally in Ehime and deploy it throughout the world," we pursue cross-disciplinary research incorporating a wide range of fields aimed at the creation of world-leading medicine, with efforts based primarily out of the Translational Research Center[2] . Moreover, in order to improve the quality of our clinical research, we established the Clinical Research Support Center, Clinical Research Data Center and Clinical Research Quality Management Department, and using these we hope to strengthen our overall clinical research system.
In addition to the three goals outlined above, we have also taken on the mission of responding to future large-scale natural disasters, such as a major Nankai Trough earthquake. Specialists predict that this type of major earthquake disaster has a roughly 70% chance of occurring within the next 30 years, and in that event it will be our duty as a hospital to provide firm, reliable medical support for those affected. Through various measures such as regular training exercises for major-disaster responses and stockpiling of emergency-use medical supplies and equipment in an on-campus warehouse[3] , we are cultivating a medical support framework that will enable us to serve as a center for medical response to the greatest extent possible should a disaster occur.
In these ways, we strive to provide greater happiness to patients at our hospital, and by tirelessly pursuing continued advancements and improvements we hope to make meaningful contributions to local society.
The Ehime University Hospital's mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate school education to students and medical personnel, and carry out research and development efforts aimed at the fostering of high-quality medicine and advancements in medicine and medical treatments. In addition, we consider it a central mission of our institution to contribute to the improvement and advancement of medicine for the entire Ehime Prefecture region through our education, treatment, and research and development activities. We pursue all of these based on our guiding principle of learning from the patient and giving back to the patient in education, research and medical care endeavors.

A Hallberg Rassy Rasmus 35, built in Sweden for serious offshore sailing.
So I had the fortunate chance to take some courses over the summer and met a very interesting woman who had taken 2 years of her life and gone sailing with an ex-boyfriend. Now, this was 20 years ago when she was in her early 20's but it still sounded cool. I got to talking to her and she said they averaged about $700 a month in expenses. Some months were as high as $4000 (buying new sails, equipment, etc) and some were $0. That really got me thinking.
So I asked around at home to see what the reaction was and got an astounding "that sounds cool" from those who would be affected…including my 2 month old daughter. Now comes the more challenging part. I used to sail, but it's been about 15 years since I was even last on a sail boat. The boat that I found (yes, I started looking) is fully loaded with dual-nav GPS, wind generator, solar power, auto steer, sails, remodeled cabin and more. So issue number one is that it is about $90,000USD – but that really seems like a bargain. So I have to come up with about $100k.
The next issue is that passive income that will allow us to travel for however long we desire without the need of having a job. So my entrepreneurial brain started working and I've got a couple of ideas however the best one that I've come up with is a sponsor (or series of sponsors) to track our voyage around the world. The thing comes with a computer and most marinas now have some form of internet access. So, I simply blog about the whole experience (i.e. write a story) while plastering someones name all over the site and while sailing around (hey there's a huge spinnaker we can talk about). The ship is currently birthed in Fiji and was sailed there from California. She checks out to be sea worthy at least. I would love to circumnavigate the world. How many people can actually say they've done something like that? So I guess step two is going to be finding sponsorship for the ship (that sounds kind of funny).
Of course there are a whole other gamut of 'issues' but they are surely easy to overcome with some thought and planning. So my question to anyone who reads this would simply be "any sponsor ideas" or "know anyone who wants to sponsor me?" I figure that at $1000 a month (taking into account inflation and the like) including the boat purchase we would require about $114,000 to go for two years. Of course, that doesn't include insurance on the boat or our lives so expect that to go up. Really when you look at it like that, I find it hard to believe I'm not already in the South Pacific. So please, any help is welcomed!

A simple trick to give your table setting a popping effect is by embellishing the tableware with some ribbons. Tie the forks and knives together, using a strap of personalised wedding ribbon before placing them on the table, next to the plates. Also, use the same type of ribbon and tie pieces around the stem of the wine glasses. This trick will bring the overall table décor together, the matching effect being one that will certainly grab attention.
If you have enough trees around the garden, you can instantly beautify them, by placing a few ribbon chandeliers here and there. This type of project is not complicated to handle, and you will find many step by step tutorials on the internet that will help you learn how to create them. If you choose bright, vibrant colours, the ribbon chandeliers will certainly make a unique décor attraction.
A few pieces of ribbon tied around the backrest of your chairs will certainly make your garden reception décor seem more colourful and appealing. However, make sure to choose the right type of ribbon fabric, in order to work easily with this decorative element. You can always opt for satin or grosgrain, if you have difficulties in this department. Just give this idea a try, and see if you like how it looks.
If you have decided to skip on the traditional restaurant venue for your wedding reception, and hold the event right in your garden, you probably want to make sure the area will look perfect. Decorating an outdoor area might seem complicated at first, but not if you follow a few tips. With these few ideas at your disposal, you will not have to pay a wedding decorator, because you can make your reception décor look amazing on your own, with minimal effort.


Model SB-271 is based on the traditional C271. It has a flared 15/16" handle and a small flared knob, and has a long straight transition to a 2 1/2" to 2 5/8" barrel and with a weight range not lighter than -3. This is a well balanced bat.

Utilities Knew: Power Providers Had Info/Acknowledged Impacts of Climate Change 50 Years Ago
8/3/2017 – BY ENERGY AND POLICY INSTITUTE
Scientists had begun to warn electric utilities about climate change by 1968, and by 1988 the industry's official research and development organization had acknowledged that, "There is growing consensus in the scientific community that the greenhouse effect is real."
Despite this early knowledge about climate change, electric utilities have continued to invest heavily in fossil fuel power generation over the past half a century, and since 1988 some have engaged in ongoing efforts to sow doubt about climate science and block legal limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
The Energy and Policy Institute's new report provides a first look into the electric utility industry's nearly 50-year long relationship with climate science, based largely on original research that reviewed scores of industry documents.
Below are just a few of the key findings from the report.
THE ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY WAS WARNED ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IN 1968
Dr. Donald F. Hornig, a science advisor to President Lyndon B. Johnson, warned the 1968 Annual Convention of the Edison Electric Institute about the threat that allowing CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels to build up in the atmosphere could one day pose to the climate.
"Such a change in the carbon dioxide level might, therefore, produce major consequences on the climate – possibly even triggering catastrophic effects such as have occurred from time to time in the past," Hornig said.
UTILITIES SPONSORED CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH DURING THE 1970S AND 1980S
While the science on climate change was limited compared to what we know today, by 1971 electric utilities knew enough to include research into the "effects of CO2" in the industry's long-term research and development goals for through the year 2000. More than 50 electric utilities contributed to the development of these goals, as did industry associations like EEI.
Utilities, through the largely customer funded Edison Electric Institute and Electric Power Research Institute, sponsored cutting edge climate research during the 1970s and 1980s. During the 1980s, EPRI funded research by influential scientist Charles Keeling and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography that documented "virtually all that we knew at the time from measurements of atmospheric CO2." Between 1985 and 1988, EEI and EPRI co-sponsored another study which found that "climate changes possible over the next 30 years may significantly affect the electric utility industry.
UTILITIES KNEW LONG AGO THAT CLIMATE CHANGE CONCERNS COULD WARRANT A SHIFT AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS
"If a consensus arose that we had to limit or curtail the use of hydrocarbons because of their impact on climate, the implications would be enormous," Dr. Carroll L. Wilson, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, warned at EEI's Annual Convention in 1971.
"If this turns out to be of major concern, then fossil fuel combustion will be essentially unacceptable, an important justification for expanding the nuclear and solar energy options," Dr. Cyril Comar, director of EPRI's environmental assessment department, told Congress in 1977.
"As consensus builds that man is changing the earth's climate, policymakers are turning their attention to the issue and exploring potential responses," the EPRI Journal reported that same year.
By 1988, electric utilities were at a critical juncture. They could either be a part of the solution to climate change, or a part of the problem
SOME UTILITY INTERESTS RESPONDED TO THE "GROWING CONSENSUS" ON CLIMATE CHANGE WITH DISINFORMATION
"It is possible that an increase in concentration of atmospheric gases which absorb the outgoing infrared radiation could result in a rise in average global temperature," William McCollam, Jr., then president of EEI, admitted to Congress in 1989. McCollam also acknowledged that climate change "could have significant effects on agriculture, rainfall, sea level, storm events, demography, and human health." However, McCollam claimed that "our knowledge is currently so limited that we cannot yet judge with any accuracy what might be the results of continued increases in greenhouse gases."
"… we believe that any plan calling for urgent and extreme action to reduce CO2 emissions is premature at best," McCollum told Congress.
"The electric utility industry is aggressively pursuing several paths which are designed to meet the nation's energy needs while reducing atmospheric emissions," McCollum nonetheless pledged.
Instead, that same year, EEI and some major electric utilities chose to "aggressively" work to sow doubt about climate science. American Electric Power, Consumers Power Company, EEI, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, and Southern Company joined the Global Climate Coalition, which for years worked to deny the causes and risks of climate change. In 1991, EEI and Southern Company spearheaded the Information Council on the Environment ad campaign, which listed as its top strategy an effort to "reposition global warming as theory (not fact)."
SOME UTILITIES CONTINUE TO MISLEAD ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN 2017
Despite EEI's 1989 pledge to reduce atmospheric emissions, annual CO2 emissions from the electricity sector remained higher in 2016 than they were when McCollum testified in 1989, due in large part to ongoing efforts by some in the industry to sow doubt about climate science and block legal limits on CO2 emissions from power plants.
Thomas Fanning, the CEO of Southern Company, continued to deny that CO2 emissions are the primary contributor to climate change during an interview with CNBC in 2017. At the time, Fanning was also the chairman of EEI and the face of the investor-owned electric utility industry. Yet no effort was made by EEI, Southern Company, or other utilities to set the record straight.
Some electric utilities continue to back special interest groups – including the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, American Legislative Exchange Council, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Utility Air Regulatory Group – that mislead on climate science and/or oppose legal limits on CO2 emissions from power plants.
Nearly 50 years after scientists began to warn the electric utility industry about climate change, some utilities continue to stand in the way of real progress in addressing the problem. It is a story with striking parallels to the investigations into ExxonMobil's early knowledge and ongoing deception on climate change. Research has shown that electric utilities could face serious financial repercussions if ever held liable for the climate change damages incurred by their power plant emissions.

Vitamin D Deficiency and Hypoglycemia
By Tanya Louise Coad
The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and hypoglycemia is a bit puzzling. Hypoglycemia refers to a condition in which blood sugar, or glucose, levels are too low, but diabetes is a disease caused by glucose levels that are too high. Yet researchers report protective benefits from vitamin D intake suggesting that deficiency would lead to high blood sugar rather than low. However, there are some circumstances under which deficiency seems to contribute to hypoglycemia.
Protective Benefits
Researchers reporting in the November 2008 issue of "The Diabetes Educator" reviewed the major clinical trials and populations studies investigating vitamin D and blood sugar in both diabetics and nondiabetics. The researchers concluded that vitamin D is especially important in diabetics by helping to decrease sugar in the blood. Further, vitamin D exerts a protective effect by lowering the risk of developing diabetes in healthy people. One study the reviewers analyzed recommended research into vitamin D supplementation as a means to help keep blood sugar levels in check.
No Benefit
Researchers reporting in the September 2009 issue of the "European Journal of Clinical Nutrition" accepted the challenge to investigate whether vitamin D supplementation would lower glucose in Type 2 diabetics. While diabetics are commonly vitamin D deficient, the researchers were careful to enroll patients with normal levels. Thirty-six insulin-dependent subjects were divided into two groups, one of which received 40,000 IU of vitamin D per week for six months, the other placebos. At the end of the trail, vitamin D had no impact on glucose. However, the researchers indicated that results may differ in patients who are deficient in vitamin D.
Glycogen Storage Disease
There is some direct evidence that vitamin D deficiency can produce dangerously low glucose levels. The relationship was found in studies that examined the causes of glycogen storage disease. Before describing the evidence, though, it's important to understand a little about the disease and glycogen. Glycogen is the main way in which the body stores glucose for later use. It's a chain of up to thousands of individual glucose molecules that is fabricated in the liver and stored in muscle and fat cells, as well as in the liver. Glycogen storage disease is a disorder in which something goes wrong during glycogen fabrication.
Hypovitaminosis D is the medical term for vitamin D deficiency, and researchers reporting in the April 2010 issue of "Molecular Genetics and Metabolism" linked it to faulty glycogen metabolism. Hypoglycemia is a symptom of glycogen storage disease, and the researchers noted a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D amongst patients. The researchers supplemented 26 patients with 400 IU of vitamin D daily for six months in an attempt to bring their blood levels up to normal. However, their vitamin D levels didn't budge, leading the researchers to suggest that an inability to properly synthesize vitamin D causes hypoglycemia.

Our children are paying Osborne's price
Christina McKelvie MSP has again hit out at the "vicious austerity cuts" imposed in George Osborne's budget.
Ms McKelvie said: "In this Constituency of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, 3,400 families in work, with 5,800 children, are going to feel the loss of tax credits where it hurts most – on the lives and wellbeing of those children.
"So much for making work pay. Here are families desperately struggling to make ends meet, often in low-paid jobs or on zero-hours contracts, and they are being told that the Government sees fits to take more money out of their pockets to the tune of around £1,000 a year on average."
New figures from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe) show that 197,200 families in Scotland with a total of 346,000 children have been hit by the changes to tax credits.
These figures come in the aftermath of an IFS report showing that the vast majority of children in poverty in the UK live in working households as the Tory government's relentless assault on the working poor continues.
"The Tory government has no sense of shame. While children in working families are forced into poverty, George Osborne is happy to intensify the process. The concept of those in need is one that doesn't enter into the Tory consciousness," Ms McKelvie added.

A körterozsda gombás megbetegedés; narancssárga, vörös foltok jelennek meg a körtefa levelén. A levél fonákján púpszerű spóratartók találhatók. A gomba kifejlődéséhez a körtén kívül még a borókanövényre is szüksége van.

Tünetek
A körtefákon, elsősorban annak levéllemezén, de néha a levélnyélen vagy a hajtáson is kifejlődhetnek tünetek. A leveleken kezdetben 4-5 mm-es, sárga, ovális alakú foltok jelennek meg. Ezek fokozatosan nagyobbodnak, a sárga foltok megvastagodnak, rajtuk izzadmány  cseppek képződnek, és a levél színén kialakulnak az apró, sötétbarna, feketés képletek(spergmogóniumok), amelyek kissé kiemelkedő pontok formájában észlelhetők. Ennek a tünetsornak a kialakulása 1-2 hónapig is eltart. A foltok sárga színe narancsvörösre változik, később megbarnul, és a foltok fonáki oldalán kiemelkedő, vékony, sajátságos alakú gombaképletek fejlődnek: a gomba ecidiumai. Az ecidiumok a levélnyél és hajtások megvastagodását idézik elő.
A borókákat a kiszóródó ecidiospórák fertőzik meg. A hajtások megvastagodását és azokon kifejlődő sárgás, narancsvörös színű néhány milliméter nagyságú, lágy, kiemelkedő, úgynevezett teleutocsapok kialakulását figyelhetjük meg. A fertőzött vesszők évről évre vastagodnak, ezen a helyen a kéreg felrepedezik, és a többéves fertőzött vessző elhal.

Kórokozó
A körterozsda kórokozója a Gymnosporangium sabinae nevű gomba, amely két gazdanövényt igényel spóráinak kifejlődéséhez: a köztes gazdája a körte (Pyrus communis), a főgazdái pedig a borókafajok (Juniperus sp.).

Telelés, fertőzés
A gomba gazdaváltó fajta. A rozsdagomba a borókák fertőzött, orsószerűen megvastagodott  vesszőiben micéliummal telel át. Tavasszal, áprilisban fejlődnek ki a sárga színű teleutocsapok, teleutospórák, azokon pedig a  bazídiumok. A bazidiospórák légmozgással jutnak a körtefa levelére, megfertőzik azt, majd hamarosan megjelennek a sárga foltok, azokban pedig a  tavaszi spermogóniumok. A gomba kifejlődése két különböző növényhez kötött, a fertőzés feltétele a két növény közelsége is: az irodalom szerint 100 méteres távolságból a gombaspórák elérik a fogékony gazdanövényeket, és képesek megfertőzni azokat.

Megelőzés
Saját kertünkbe csak olyan boróka fajt illetve fajtát telepítsünk, amelyik nem fogékony a körterozsdára ('Clapps', 'Trévoux', 'Condo', 'Bunte Juli').
Ha olyan körtefákon jelent meg a betegség, amelyeken korábban nem észleltük, és a szomszédoknál borókákat ültettek, érdemes megtudni a boróka faj, fajta nevét, és a borókákon áprilisban sűrűn ellenőrizni a teleutocsapok megjelenését. A fertőzött ágakat le kell metszeni, eltávolítani, megsemmisíteni.

Kémiai védelem
A körtefák levelein már májusban megjelenhetnek az első tünetek, tehát a bazidióspórák  fertőzése április második felében, a körtefa leveleinek kialakulását követően megtörténhet. Ehhez különösen kedvező a tartósan esős időjárás. A kémiai védekezést május végéig kell folytatni. A körte ventúriás varasodása ellen ható fungicidek közül a következők hatnak a körterozsda ellen is:
   Kontakt szerek: klórtalonil (Bravo, Mycoguard), mankoceb (Dithane, Penncozeb, Vondozeb stb), propineb (Antracol).
   Felszívódó szerek: difenokonazol (Score), krezoximmetil (Discus), tebukonazol (Folicur Solo).
   Természetes szerek: mezei zsurló főzet
