9 States Sue 'Flat-Out Wrong' Trump Administration Over Seismic Blasting in Atlantic
December 21, 2018 0 Comments	27 views
A coalition of attorneys general from nine states added their clout to a South Carolina-based lawsuit against the Trump administration to block seismic airgun blasting off the Atlantic coast.
What's more, the release noted, these tests are a precursor to offshore drilling for oil and gas, which will harm coastal and marine resources should a leak occur. "Seismic testing will have dangerous consequences for hundreds of thousands of marine mammals, including endangered species," Frosh said in the press release. "While the administration continues to place the interests of the fossil fuel industry ahead of our precious natural resources, attorneys general up and down the Atlantic coast will continue to fight these and other efforts to open the waters off our shores to drilling for oil and gas." "Putting our oceans, marine life and coastal economies at risk for dirty and dangerous offshore drilling is wrong and we are not backing down.
They acted unlawfully and we're going to stop it.
Oceana is pleased so many states are joining this critical fight."
Last month, the National Marine Fisheries Service issued five Incidental Harassment Authorizations that permit companies to use airgun blasting in waters off the Atlantic coast.
The loud, continuous and far-reaching noise can damage the hearing and potentially disorientate and kill marine life, displace fish, devastate zooplankton and cause whales to beach.
Blasting can also impact commercial and recreational fishing by decreasing catch rates.
Study: Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) rarely linked to felt seismic tremors
From the UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, another political tool of the left bites the dust.
Researchers find only one hydrocarbon-producing area where production is linked to increased seismic activities at the regional scale EDMONTON (June 26, 2017)–New research suggests hydraulic fracturing and saltwater disposal has limited impact on seismic events.
With only one exception, the scientists found no province- or state-wide correlation between increased hydrocarbon production and seismicity.
The anomaly was in Oklahoma, where seismicity rates have changed dramatically in the last five years, with strong correlation to saltwater disposal related to increased hydrocarbon production.
"What we need to know first is where seismicity is changing as it relates to hydraulic fracturing or saltwater disposal.
The next question is why is it changing in some areas and not others," continued Van der Baan.
"If we can understand why seismicity changes, then we can start thinking about mitigation strategies." Though Van der Baan noted that hydraulic fracturing has been in practice since the 1950s, it has come under increased scrutiny in the last handful of years due to both increased production as well as the use of the increased treatment volumes.
Trump was 100% right (not just 97%) to show real leadership and walk away from Paris President Trump has rejected and exited the Paris climate treaty – walked America away from the Mad Hatter tea party that was the entire multi-decade, often hysterical and always computer model-driven UN climate process.
Fracking rarely linked to rise in seismic tremors, U of A study suggests
Fracking rarely linked to rise in seismic tremors, U of A study suggests.
Researchers examined more than 50 years of earthquake-rate statistics from the top oil-producing regions in the United States and Canada, and found little correlation between rising oil production and rates of seismic activity.
In Oklahoma, where seismic rates have changed dramatically in the last five years, researchers found a strong link between increased fracking activity and a rise in tremors in the region. "What we need to know first is where seismicity is changing as it relates to hydraulic fracturing or saltwater disposal," said geophysicist Mirko Van Der Baan in a media release.
If we can understand why seismicity changes, then we can start thinking about mitigation strategies."
The study found no correlation between seismicity and increased oil and gas production, despite eight- to 16-fold increases in production in some regions, challenging other studies which have found a definitive link.
However, in Oklahoma there was 85-per-cent correlation between the salt water disposal associated with fracking and earthquakes in the region, researchers found.
Fracking 'not going away' While hydraulic fracturing has been in practice for decades, it has come under increased scrutiny in recent years over rising fears about its environmental impact.
Better research, including improved mapping of fault line systems and increased monitoring of injection rates, is essential in reducing the risks surrounding the much-maligned practice, said Van der Baan. "Hydraulic fracturing is not going away.

First Step Toward Atlantic Drilling Could Decimate Key Species In Ocean Food Chain
One of the first steps toward offshore drilling development in the Atlantic Ocean could decimate a key species in the marine food chain, a new study finds.
Seismic surveying, the process of blasting airguns underwater to locate oil and gas deposits, could have devastating effects on zooplankton, a food source relied upon by many marine animals, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Nature.
Researchers at Australia's Curtin University and University Tasmania reported that blasts from a single seismic airgun caused a two-to-threefold increase in dead adult and larval zooplankton within 24 hours of exposure as compared to control groups.
The process could pose a "significant and unacknowledged potential" threat to ocean ecosystems, including the fish, whales and marine animals that feed on zooplankton, the researchers said.
pilipenkoD via Getty Images The study was released just two weeks after the National Marine Fisheries Service drafted permits that would allow companies to engage in seismic surveying along the East Coast ― a major step forward in the Trump administration's pledge to expand offshore oil and gas drilling.
Francine Kershaw, a marine mammal and oceans scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council, warned that the seismic blasting "effectively decimates" zooplankton.
"To permit this devastating activity ― in the face of strong evidence of its impact ― is to sacrifice our oceans and coastal communities for the profits of the oil and gas industry." The Morning Email Wake up to the day's most important news.
"Sound and hearing are of transcendent importance to many ocean life forms, including marine mammals and fish," Dr. Dr. Doug Nowacek, a marine scientist at Duke University, told reporters on a press call this month.
Authorization of the permits faces a 30-day public comment period.
If approved, five companies could begin seismic surveying as early as this fall.
Vinton County quake probably not fracking-related, state says
May 25, 2017 0 Comments	221 views
The Columbus Dispatch @MaryBethLane1 Ohio Department of Natural Resources officials are investigating an earthquake reported Wednesday in southeastern Ohio, but don't believe it was related to oil and gas production.
That's a significant depth because usually any seismic event induced by a well occurs one to two kilometers (1.24 miles or less) below the earth's surface, he said.
"We're still looking into it," said Heis, who said the department received 21 "felt" reports about the earthquake.
Melanie Houston, director of oil and gas for the Ohio Environmental Council, said the earthquake Wednesday renews the environmental coalition's concerns about fracking.
A wastewater injection well induced 12 earthquakes in Youngstown in 2011, a state investigation found.
Wednesday's earthquake follows a similar 3.0 magnitude earthquake in the Wayne National Forest in Monroe County that occurred on April 2.
"This is really concerning, these earthquakes occurring," Houston said.
There are two producing oil and gas wells within Elk Township, the suspected epicenter of Wednesday's earthquake.
Both have been in production since 1981, and the nearest injection well is more than seven miles away, Heis said.
"The wells that were shut down on April 2 have been allowed to produce and seismic monitors remain in place to monitor any potential future events."

A date with history as Olu Akengbuwa's ghost visits Muson Centre

A scene from the play… Photo: Eniola Daniel
There is nothing as returning to your roots: It is always a perfect opportunity to learn your history and find out, which things were not properly done in the past.
This expression was best replicated in a recent gathering of Itsekiri ethnic group at the Muson Centre, Onikan Lagos for the play, Olu Akengbuwa.
The play performance, which attracted high net worth Itsekirimen and women, including the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinick, tells the story of Olu Akengbuwa, the celebrated 16th Olu of Warri, who reigned between 1795 and 1848. Olu Akengbuwa was the longest occupier of the Warri throne.
Featuring veterans such as, DedeMariah and Norbert Young, it dwells on the events that led to the historical lacuna in the kingdom of Warri when it was without a monarch for 88 years. The historical play, written and produced by Comrade Alex Eyengho, explores the theme of greed, power-mongering and dislocation of the social system.
Omateye, the young son of Olu Akengbuwa, is the central character in the intriguing conflict that evolves in the play. He usurps his father's role and forcefully takes his properties, including coveting the king's young wife. Trouble, however, begins for the revered monarch, when his young wife reports the Ifa priest for not curing her barrenness. She asks him to kill the Ifa priest as the only favour she wants.
The king subsequently orders that the Ifa priest be killed. The Ifa priest, however, warns that three generations of Warri residents will not know peace if his blood is spilled in the land. After so much trouble in the kingdom, Akengbuwa dies, and his son, who is supposed to succeed him, dies days after. A new priest who comes to perform the traditional ritual cleansing of the land reveals that the head of the priest who was beheaded by the king must be brought back.
Another intriguing conflict plays out with Princess Iyealso angling to be king. The interregnum continues for 88 years when a new king eventually emerges.
Speaking on the play, the Ologbosere of Warri Kingdom, Ayirimi Emmanuel, said, "this shows what Warri passed through in 88 years, and what we learned from this is that we must be very patient. We saw what anger and greed caused in the entire kingdom."It's very important to hold on to your culture, and as Itsekiripeople, we have a lot of historical events that people are not aware of. What we are trying to do is tell everyone where we are coming from and where we supposed to be so, there are so much to be learnt from this drama.
"I think this has to be taken back to the school; from primary school to secondary school and to the university, so that our children can learn more about our history, stories and culture. So, these things have to be taken up properly in the schools, which we are doing already and Alex is part of team."
On his part, Pinick said, "the play is out of this world. They killed it. I didn't regret coming to watch the play. I think we should more of this regularly. It enlightens us and make us know things that we didn't know so, for me, there is no better way to appreciate ones culture than this.
On this, Eyengho said, "the play is about the WarriKingdom, but the story is global: power, succession and desperation."These are themes that have universal application."It'snot about Warri Kingdom, but we try to put this together through the theatre platform, interpreting using our culture, dance, proverbs and our nuances to tell this story.
The play had equally been staged in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. "The first time we staged it was in 2015 in Warri and the then Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan came to see it and he told us to bring it to Asaba to stage, which he sponsored as part of his handover ceremony as governor he said.

Night lights is a photography project started by Kenyan Story and its main aim is to showcase the beautiful streets in Nairobi that photographers and other photography enthusiasts can visit in order to feed their quest. I will be sharing more night street portraits under the same project name. According to public opinion, it's hard to walk in Nairobi at night since the roads are dangerous and street kids attack anybody who come their way…well, that's wrong.

Armidale Teachers' College World War II Roll of Honour
The roll of honour consists of three timber honour boards located on the first floor of the C B Newling Building, formerly Armidale Teachers' College (ATC). The honour boards record the names, year of attendance at the college and their fate in World War II.
In April 2002 the Armidale Dumaresq Council approved a grant for an honour roll to record the names of every student, ex-student and members of staff of the ATC who enlisted during World War II. It was in 1946 that a voluntary ATC committee collected the names of all who served.
The Book of Remembrance (Volume 1) was completed and dedicated on 19 April 1946 but the other two volumes were not completed. A member of the Friends of the Old Teachers' College, Judith Magnus Grieve (OAM), completed all records in March 2003 and this work provided the names for the timber honour rolls. The Boards completed the war memorial in the upstairs foyer.
It was dedicated on Sunday 9 March 2003 by Retired Chaplain W Howarth RANR, RFD. This honour roll complements the Book of Remembrance and won a Heritage Award from the Armidale Dumaresq Council in 2005.
On Thursday 17 March 2016, additions to the College Honour Boards were dedicated. The dedication was conducted by the Very Reverend Stephen Williams, dean of St Peter's Anglican Cathedral, and Max Taverner, president of the Armidale RSL Sub-Branch. The additions consisted of a photograph of Geoffrey Newling, the youngest son of the founding principal of the College, C B Newling, and wording on the honour roll which paid tribute to the many ex-service personnel who attended the Teachers' College after World War II.

So this champion came about at the thought of making Overwatch's Soldier 76's ultimate a support spell in League of Legends. That is to say, an ability that prevents your ally from missing for a short window. When I presented this idea in the frame of "would being able to debuff an enemy with Braum's Unbreakable be a viable ability?" to Willbachbakal, he brought to my attention Mag from Warframe, who has an ability called Magnatize that redirects all bullets to the debuffed enemy.
For literacy convenience, I'm going to use the placeholder name "Tempus".
Active: Tempus pinches the target area into a single point, making it possible to move from one side of the affected zone to the other without spending time in the middle. Units within the radius are displaced.
Active: Tempus warps gravity around the target enemy, causing them to intercept all projectiles from Tempus' team that come within the gravity field.
Active: Tempus warps gravity around the target enemy, causing them to intercept single target projectiles while being guaranteed to be affected by area of effect projectiles from Tempus' team that come within the gravity field.

Nike"REMIX & RECONSTRUCT" with A$AP Nast
Nike "REMIX & RECONSTRUCT" event London
A$AP Nast discusses the importance of Nike's "UPTOWN" and "Just Do It" culture...
Grant Brydon
Grant Brydon /
The Air Force 1 was never meant to last this long. Released in 1982, Nike's first "Air" basketball shoe, was discontinued two years later. But, thanks to the demand from those customising and remixing the shoe, it would be reissued as Nike's first retro model two years later and is still going strong over 30 years on.
Today, in an East London warehouse that's been temporarily transformed into a hypebeast haven, the topic of discussion is "REMIX & RECONSTRUCT", and the Air Force 1 sits firmly at the centre. The workshop is part of 'The Ten', a collaboration between designer Virgil Abloh and Nike, that sees him reimagining pioneering silhouettes from Nike and Converse that date back as far as 1923.
Across ten months, Abloh has created ten new trainers, making the project one of the fastest moving collaborations that Nike has ever been involved in. With the aim of re-introducing their human-made quality, the silhouettes have been broken down, hand cut and reconstructed, resulting in open source products that allow the wearer to interact. Virgil is not simply inviting people to wear sneakers with his name on them, but to get involved in the design process themselves, embodying Nike's "Just Do It" mentality.
At today's event in East London he's flanked by fellow creatives, including A$AP Nast, visual artist Eddie Peake, and designers Grace Wales Bonner and Michelle Lamy, each leading workshops with the Air Force 1 as their canvas. For Nast, the silhouette is of particular personal resonance; as a Harlem native it's in his DNA. Nike might have named the shoe after the presidents plane, but the streets rebranded it the "Uptown". The Air Force 1 became an icon of Harlem culture and it's intrinsic flyness.
Clash took ten minutes with the A$AP Mob rapper and multifaceted artist, to discuss his involvement in 'The Tens' and what the Air Force 1 means to him...
Can you describe your involvement in 'The Ten'?
I would say my involvement is just adding my own personality and taste to it. I'm just giving these kids something to look forward to.
[I was attracted to] the fact that we get to be teachers. For the most part I'm a learner, and I like to be a learner. I look at this like open of those things where I get a chance to be able to teach and give my input on what I think is cool.
What does the Air Force 1 mean to you?
The Air Force 1 is a sentimental one because I'm from Harlem, Uptown New York City, so that's like wearing your heart on your sleeve.
I don't remember my first pair, but I remember having pairs all my life. I've grown up wearing them. I remember the nineties, everyone wearing them, flavours everywhere: that's a Harlem thing.
Why do you think the Air Force 1 has remained such a staple in hip-hop culture?
It's just the go-to trainer, it's the one you can wear with anything. You can literally throw on anything with that trainer and it still looks good. It's hard to make a mess of it. It's one of those shoes where the shoe is the outfit, you don't need to do too much. I've got my Air Force 1s on, I can relax. I can go put sweatpants on, I can put some trousers on. However you feel, they sit so well. I think it's a shoe that would never go away. It'll be around forever.
Would you say that you focus on collecting or wearing your trainers?
I do buy duplicates sometimes. It depends on how I feel. It's really got to be that special one, I don't just buy duplicates of anything. It's got to be that one where I'm like "I've got to have one to wear for sure, but I have to have one to put on ice."
It never really works out much, because the first day I'll probably total them quick and then I'm like "Alright, that second pair. I might have to pull those out the box!"
Do you think it's becoming increasingly important for creatives to be involved with more than just one discipline?
I find that these days you have to have the full package. It's not "I'm a rapper, singer, musician." You can't just have that no more. Kids want to see the whole thing, they want to know what your taste is when it comes to style. They want to know that you're into art. All of these different things play a part. It's not just about having that one talent. You've got to be multi-talented.
What thread remains constant throughout all of your creative endeavours?
Honestly, I create due to my surroundings and how I feel when I wake up. The way I dress; depending on how I feel when I wake up, I'll put on a certain piece or colour. When I write music I get inspired from so many different elements. It might be from someone talking about their childhood, their past and what happened in their life, or it might be a colour or place. I take inspiration from so many different place.
Travel is a great source of inspiration for me. I feel like travel is the best thing that ever happened to me. Taking from different cultures, learning from them all, [applying that] to your own life and making it work for you.
You're very active on Instagram. How would you describe your approach to that?
I'm hustling. Each post ain't just a stunt. If I post something it's for a reason. It might look like the silliest post, but there's a reason why I posted that.
Would you say that platform has had a big influence on your career?
Yes, 100 Percent. I believe that the Internet has made me who I am. I respect the Internet and I believe I'm one with the Internet. That's part of the reason why I am who I am today. It's part of the reason why I can reach so many kids. God bless the Internet. We probably wouldn't be having this interview right now if it wasn't for that.
What is it that attracts you to London? You seem to spend a lot of time here.
Everything. The people, the poetry, the style. London is one of those places where I can come and people-watch because people dress very well here. I'd love to walk around the city and take pictures of homeless people, just to show that "Wow! These people have style like crazy out here." I can relate to it so much. I must say, I love America, but at the same time in my opinion [London has] a next level of taste when it comes to personal style, and everyone's just freaking it here.
It's amazing to me when you can see the different classes of people but somehow they're all stylish. It's very intriguing to me. I love to be at one with that and be able to see that. I think that's why I love to be here. I love this city, and nothing will change that.
How do you relate to the idea of "Just Do It" culture?
It's as simple as it sounds. It says so much but so little at the same time. It's like "Yo. Do what you need to do!" In life you're going to have your ups and downs. You're going to have your creative moments, you're going to have your downfalls. You've got to just get out there and do something. You've got to get out there and fail, to know that you can get back up. "Just Do It" is so fucking simple, but it says so much to you.

Best Strollers for Big Kids – Top 8 Options for Little Ones Who are Not so Little Anymore!
If your child is significantly bigger for his or her age it is likely you're well aware of a few of the daily struggles that come with it. Clothing that doesn't quite fit right, inability to swaddle comfortably and of course, discomfort in everyday strollers. A stroller is meant to fit both your lifestyle and your child – finding the best stroller for big kids shouldn't have to be difficult! Thankfully, the market has catered to the need for larger kids to find strollers that fit.
We have taken time to carefully explore the industry in search of all the key features in a stroller that a parent with a bigger kid would need. Height, interior comfort and adjustability were amongst them. We found great peace of mind in concluding that taller children could experience strolling without parents needing to fork out a ton of money. There is a stroller to suit each and every lifestyle – be it for the fitness parent, the traveler or even the parent of a child with special needs.
We narrowed it down to our top eight picks to make your selection a bit easier. We spent many hours conducting detailed product reviews of each one with a comprehensive list of pros and cons. All to give you the best idea of stroller performance. Our comparison table will provide all the most important information at a quick glance. This, followed by our buying guide, is a sure path to selecting the best stroller for big kids. We also took the liberty of taking into account the experiences of real parents making use of these strollers in their everyday lives. This kind of evidence is invaluable to making the best choice for you and for your child. So, let's find the solution you've been looking for.
A great choice for tall toddlers and their parents, with a lot of interior space and a high handlebar, both of you will love going for walks!
A budget stroller that does not compromise on build or size – choose this model with confidence, even if your little one is not so little anymore!
The Joovy Zoom is our clear winner in best overall stroller for bigger kids. It is both a feature packed and aesthetically pleasing unit with an equally appealing price tag.
The unit is extra wide with a raised seating level, making it perfect for slightly larger children. Your child will have wonderful views up on his or her raised seat that also reclines quite easily when needed.
Since this is a jogging stroller, its design reflects this: three wheels and a secure storage compartment that won't dislodge during faster pace movement.
The Zoom is very lightweight. This is important for jogging strollers made for heavier children. They should glide and move as a regular weighted unit would.
The feature we like most is the extended canopy that juts out further than the average stroller. It provides assured coverage of even the tallest or biggest children, leaving no body part uncovered.
Despite being on the wider side, this stroller still folds up into a compact pile. It is quick to fold and can be done with just one hand. So a screaming baby on the hip won't put your day on hold.
The front wheel is lockable, so this stroller literally glides over almost any surface and experiences little resistance. The reason this stroller made our overall best option is because you actually don't need to be centered around jogging to make use of it. While it is a welcome bonus, it is also entirely suitable to be used as an every day strolling device, and thanks to its large air-filled tires, it makes a great beach stroller as well.
The unit is breezy when preferred and covered when you need it. It can hold drinks and snacks on top of its already impressive storage capacity. Perhaps the only downside is that the car seat adaptor is an item that is sold separately, not standard to the unit.
The jogging strollers have really taken the lead in this line up. It's clear that their impressive features and functionality are undeniable. This Revolution unit by BOB is no different.
Firstly let's get this out of the way: yes, the canopy is noticeably shallower than the previous stroller we looked at. In the event of rain or front-facing sun your child is likely to be unsettled.
That being said, this is still a strong contender for best stroller for bigger children and specifically for jogging, for a number of reasons.
The BOB Revolution is extra padded. Literally every part of the stroller that could come into contact with a child is padded up. This makes the comfort levels top class. An uncomfortable child would be the first thing to cut your afternoon jog short.
The handlebar offers an impressive nine point adjustment. Any parent with the intention of having a workout will make frequent use of this feature as it allows one's arms to rest in one of a variety of angles. No risk of cramping or strain.
Since the unit comfortably sits any child up to 75lb you will be able to use it long term from the time your child is eight weeks old.
The feature that may justify the price of the BOB is the state of the art suspension that is built in. It softens the impact of lumpy bumpy rides around town. This makes for a happy baby and in turn a happy parent. Suspension in jogging strollers is a sure cause for celebration. It isn't often included as a standard feature.
Again, as with most jogging strollers, car seat adaption is an extra that is sold separately.
The great thing about the Baby Jogger is the fact that it almost grows with your child. This is why it won the label of best stroller for tall children.
The unit is designed to be continuously adjusted and added to over time. The Baby Jogger brand offers a wide variety of added extras sold separately that you can use to form a collection of gear for your stroller. It even has an adaptor that turns this solo unit into a double, tandem stroller for two children.
What makes this stroller perfect for tall children is its adjustable height options. Seats and framework can be lowered or raised to perfectly suit the needs of your child.
The unit includes a bar that acts as either a footrest or cross safety bar, depending on where you set it.
Unfortunately due to the lengthy height of the overall unit, the handlebar sits notably higher than your everyday stroller. This isn't really ideal for shorter parents as their comfort is likely to be compromised, but if you're of on the tall side, it's definitely one of the best strollers for tall parents.
The storage on board is sufficient. Additional pockets and trays can be purchased & fitted into the stroller for extra comfort.
The wheels are free-swivel and offer exceptional maneuverability. The stroller folds up in flat, pancake style. It is easy to lift into and out of most car boots. We must mention the deep wine shade of the stroller, making it a classic, stylish addition to your everyday life.
We love a good deal! The G-Luxe stroller is an affordable option for strollers for bigger children. It is a simply designed and constructed unit that is void of the bells & whistles that come with more costly items.
It comes in a range of five neutral colors. All the fabrics are easy to remove for washing and allows for easy wipe downs.
You'll be able to shift the seat from upright to inclined with just one hand. The handlebars are separate and tall enough for parents of any height. These are great for hanging extra bags. Since the unit itself is quite compact with limited storage space, handlebars come in handy. There is also a coffee cup holder built in.
The G-Luxe flips up in one swift folding move. A point to keep in mind is that this stroller doesn't fold away as small as others. Since it only does one fold, most of the original length is intact for storage purposes. However, it's still the perfect fit for most car boots.
The canopy on this stroller is removable. It has incredible height for comfort for significantly taller children. It also has two optional extenders in the event of harsh frontal sun or rain. The extenders jut out and over the child for full coverage. An overall rain cover can be purchased as an added extra.
All in all, the G-Luxe stroller is a sturdy, practical solution of a stroller for bigger children. In spite of being a fraction of the cost of most other strollers, it is still feature packed and aesthetically very pleasing. No need to compromise just to save a buck!
The intention behind this Tomato EIO stroller is wonderful. It is a unit specifically designed with special needs children in mind and it is our best pick for exactly that.
Raising a child with special needs is naturally ten times harder than most of us will ever understand. Your stroller should be a welcome asset to daily life and make the parent's role as easy as possible.
When it comes to children with special needs, certain features are not negotiable: Adjustable back and foot panels are must haves. The Tomato EIO offers just that. The positions are not fixed options, so you can find the exact right angles for your child's body needs.
We like that the entire stroller is hypoallergenic and latex-free. This ensures nothing can cause a reaction to the child in question. As expected, absolutely everything is padded and safe for contact.
The wheels are large and airless. This means they are no-flat, rubber wheels and will never leave you & your child stranded.
The body harness is intricate and strong – yet also well padded. It will keep even the most restless child tightly strapped in.
While it is naturally bigger than your typical stroller it is still an impressively lightweight unit. There is ample storage space underneath and behind the stroller. You'll be able to take along all equipment or goodies you need to take care of your child throughout the day.
This stroller is definitely a big help to anyone caring for a child with special needs. The attention is placed on interior comfort and safety — two very important features for this niche.
This impressive unit by Burley Design is our winner for best lightweight stroller for bigger kids.
Technically, it's a jogging stroller by design. However this unit is fully capable of performing as an everyday stroller if treated as such.
Weighing in at an astounding 29lb, there is nowhere you can't take this stroller. Traveling with it is a pleasure.
The handlebar is extendable and adjustable. It can be made to suit parents of any height comfortably.
There is a variety of add-ons that can be purchased to spice up the stroller to your liking. These include a weather shield, snack bar and car seat adaptor. Regrettably you will not be able to connect your car seat to the Solstice Jogger unless you purchase that last piece of equipment.
The stroller is available in three flattering hues: Green, blue and grey.
The great thing about jogging strollers is that they require less effort to maneuver than regular strollers. This is thanks to the single front wheel that absorbs most of the suspension; allowing the stroller to move easier and more freely than with four wheels. Therefore, this one is easy to work with.
Lightweight jogging strollers make for great everyday strollers because they tend to be more durable than many others. They're made to handle rough, unpredictable terrain. So whatever your daily stroller needs may be, the Solstice Jogger is a little bit of everything good in one: A unit to be seriously considered in your buying journey.
What is more challenging than running after one baby? Running after two!
Thankfully strollers such as this Joovy Scooter exist to alleviate some of the challenges. This is a tandem stroller made to move two children at the same time, with as much ease as moving one.
For its size and stylish exterior, the price tag is almost unbelievable. Competitor units of the same nature often start at four times the cost of this stroller.
What's great is that although it's designed to hold two, bigger children it's still fully capable of entering most doorways. No kidding!
The cross bar offers extra safety protection over your children, though it's unlikely they'll need it when you consider the impressive harness belt that the stroller is fitted with.
The canopy is wide and covers the stroller well. However one downside is that it is a single solid canopy. Tandem strollers often feature two single canopies which allow for individual experiences for each child. If one feels like sun and one feels like shade — no problem. Unfortunately the Joovy Scooter design means both must have sun or shade at the same time.
As expected, the seats recline well for additional comfort. At least these do so individually, so one child can sit up while the other sleeps.
We love the range of colors this stroller comes in: Orange, blue, red, green or black. You can pick a color that suits your style and bright colored strollers are easier to spot in crowded spaces. Therefore the right purchase can offer enhanced security.
Finally, our best umbrella stroller for bigger kids. Umbrella strollers get their name from the way they fold into themselves while still staying upright, just like umbrellas. They're typically basic, lightweight units and this Maclaren model is no different. Umbrella strollers are preferred by some parents due to the specifics of their storage options at home or in their vehicles. They can usually slot into long, narrow gaps which makes them appealing if you have limited storage space.
This user-friendly approach, along with the design, make this model a practical option to use with children with special needs. The wide footrest provides leg support as often needed by special needs kids. The body harness is an intricate, secure system to hold your child upright. It also makes sense to use for this niche, as it's so simple to unfold and get the child into the seat as quickly as possible. There are no extra parts, canopies or trays in the way.
Unfortunately this particular stroller by Maclaren offers absolutely no on board storage. This may be a problem or a preference, depending on how heavily you like to travel. The handlebars offer the option of having bags hang over them though this is likely to weigh the unit down, making it difficult to steer.
The framework of this stroller is quality aluminum. It is durable and long lasting – it won't need to be replaced any time soon. Just note that the unit isn't adjustable in width or height. There is no option for add-ons. It comes as is.
This is a stroller designed for the no-frills, easy going parent who genuinely just wants to go on a casual stroll. It isn't the unit you would use to lug around a newborn and all the goods needed to care for them. But as a stroller for toddlers and specifically special needs kids, this is a winner.
A stroller should complement you and your child. It becomes a reflection by which the world will view you as a parent while out and about: not only in how you look, but how practical you are in finding parenting solutions. And, of course, you want to make life easy for yourself, right? It's our goal to help you portray the best image possible. Use this buyer's guide to navigate the features most important to you in making your purchase.
An experience of absolute comfort for your child who will fit perfectly into the unit, without any of their limbs or posture being compromised.
In the case of special needs children, they will get to enjoy the experience of strolling but from a safe and purposefully designed (comfortable) vessel.
In the case of jogging, your child is able to come along on your workouts and experience a part of your life with you – which is priceless.
A well-designed stroller makes for a relaxing experience for both child and parent.
The only thing left to do is narrow our eight top picks down to one that is best for you. We're aware they're all unique, so looking at specific features (relevant to your lifestyle) is the easiest way to identify the winner for your household. This comprehensive list of options make up important specs of stroller culture. Which ones are most significant to you?
Does this brand have a history of wear and tear in their units designed for bigger children?
Does my child meet the weight specifications laid out by the seller?
Is there enough leeway between the weight cap and my child's weight?
What growth phases will this particular brand support and will I need to buy a new stroller after a short period of time?
Technically a bigger child is going to mean a physically bigger stroller. Just how much bigger is up to you. Consider the dimensions of the stroller before making your purchase. A good point to consider is whether or not the stroller is at fixed dimensions or adjustable. Adjustable strollers are valuable to cater for children's growth spurts. A great option with plenty of space for bigger children is a stroller wagon, a model that increasingly more parents are opting for.
Also consider dimensions in terms of available storage space.
Since you're already handling a bigger child daily, you'll likely want your stroller to be as light weight as possible. Our best lightweight stroller was the unit by Burley Design. Keep in mind that strollers are equipment items you'll probably use daily. From unfolding to assembling to lifting to cleaning; it's a never-ending journey. Critically compare the weights of the strollers you are most drawn to. Consider how much luggage you usually carry along and whether or not your child often demands to be carried. The weight of the stroller shouldn't add to your struggle; on the contrary it should reduce it.
Our mantra when it comes to strollers has always been comfort on the inside, durability on the outside. This is no different when shopping for a stroller for a bigger child. Seek out a brand that has a reputation of using quality materials in the making of their strollers.
Especially since yours will be holding more weight than most, the physical construction of the unit should be strong and sturdy.
The inside should be equally as well done. Padding is a must, especially if you'll be taking a sleeping child on the go with you (especially if you're going for a jog, which may lead to a few bumps along the way). The BOB Revolution stroller features some of the most impressive padding we've seen in a stroller. Take time to look at the specifics of each stroller before you commit to a purchase. One that appears well made at first glance may not reflect the same on the interior.
Since children go through so many phases and moods in one day, your stroller's seat positions should be able to do the same. Because most strolling excursions begin with an enthusiastic, wide-awake child who is eager to see everything; an upright seat is in order. As the day goes by it's common for children to doze off and need to lay flat. Your stroller should be able to adjust accordingly.
When you have a good idea of how big your stroller needs to be you'll be able to choose your folding specifications as well. Some strollers fold up into a ball, others more upright like an umbrella. You need to consider your vehicle and storage options & what kind of folding pattern would best fit into these.
Size is important too. Ensure that your brand of choice doesn't manufacture strollers folding into bulkier, more inconvenient units than they started off as. You want something like the Maclaren Major Elite, our pick of umbrella stroller that offers great foldability, to ensure a user friendly outcome.
Sometimes overlooked in importance, seat belts and parking brakes are equally as deserving of a second look when stroller shopping. We love strollers that make use of body harness type seat belts with adjustable, padded strapping. This is the most peace of mind you can have in ensuring your child will never find his or her way out of the seat and into harm's way. Parking brakes do the same but aren't always standard on strollers, particularly cheaper ones. Your stroller should be able to park anywhere without rolling into danger.
Wheels are of particular importance when handing children of bigger weights. They should ideally be no-flat types. This is usually achieved by coating plastic wheels in rubber.
Should your stroller come with inflatable wheels, be sure to keep a hand pump handy in case of emergency.
A lengthy warranty is valuable when investing in a stroller. The longer the better. Because of the nature of use that comes with strollers you want one that is covered should it encounter damage early on in its life span. Some cheaper brands include little to no warranty. More expensive units will offer better cover. It is sometimes worth spending a few extra dollars solely for warranty coverage, particularly if your child is prone to damaging things or you know you'll take it on some rough terrains.
How do I make the stroller more comfortable for my child?
When taking your child out in his or her stroller, take along items that could bring them added comfort. This could be stuffed animals, blankets and pillows or even a mosquito net to cover up (if the environment calls for it). Only you know what brings your child the most comfort; include it in the stroller wherever possible.
What should I look out for if I want to jog with my stroller?
If you'd like to jog with your stroller you will need to invest in a stroller that is specifically designed for this activity. Jogging strollers typically have three wheels: two larger ones in the back and a smaller one up front. The front wheel should be of swivel design but have the ability to lock whenever necessary. This will allow the stroller to move over almost any terrain while jogging.
How do I inflate the wheels?
Some stroller wheels require inflation and others won't. This is all dependent on your brand. Should your wheels need inflating you will simply use the hand pump that would have been included in your purchase. Connect it up to the wheels and inflate each one sufficiently.
The clear winner on our quest for the best stroller for big kids was the Joovy Zoom 360. We loved the effortlessness of using this stroller. From design, to add-ons, to price – one feature is as impressive as the next. Comfort and functionality are not compromised in this stroller. It is the best stroller on the market right now for bigger kids.
Because you can't go wrong with a jogging stroller, the BOB Revolution Flex came in next as the best stroller for parents who need to jog with their babies. We like that this stroller can also function as an everyday unit, covering all areas of daily life. Though on the pricier side, its feature of state-of-the-art suspension makes it all worthwhile. One of the smoothest, most enjoyable rides your little one can experience.
The Baby Jogger really impressed us with its extensive adjustability – this is a stroller that basically grows with your child. It's a sure investment that won't see you needing an upgrade any time soon.
We've taken care of the hard part for you! Now it's up to you now to weigh all the options and narrow it down to your best pick. Stroll away!

Q: Can't remove a entire command in iTerm and Terminal on Mac OS X I'm using iTerm and Terminal in Mac OS X El Captain.
When I delete characters using "delete" button in the command line, it stuck at some point and don't move left further in both iTerm and Terminal.
For example, I typed
%ps -aef | grep test
and then tried to remove this command entirely from the last char using "delete" button.
But when I removed until e and I still had
%ps -a
and then stuck and couldn't remove from a. I can't completely remove the entire command.
It happens so frequently and very annoying.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Someone already replied and asked some and this is my reply:

*

*export PS1="\e[\033[35m[\u:\W]\$ \e[m " in .bash_profile

*echo $TERM output is xterm-256color  delete

*delete key is backspace key on mac book air

A: In your prompt
export PS1="\e[\033[35m[\u:\W]\$ \e[m "

bash does not know that the printable part is only
export PS1="[\u:\W]\$  "

Unless told otherwise, by bracketing the nonprintable characters with \[ and \], it assumes the whole string is printable, counting each ordinary character as one column (\u and \W mean something that the shell computes for itself).
You might have meant something like this:
export PS1="\[\033[35m\][\u:\W]\$ \[\e[m\] "

(trimming the spurious \e[ which does nothing useful).

All equipment that has been tested and inspected must be clearly identifiable. This usually achieved by labelling the equipment with a PAT Testing label.
The above information on the label is designed to enable the equipment to be easily identifiable even if several similar items exist within the same premises and also indicate to a non-technical user if the equipment is due for re-testing or should not be used.
Additional information contained on the label may include fuse rating, engineers initials, company name or logo.
Many modern PAT testers are able to read bar-coded labels and this is particularly suitable for the identification code. Barcodes should ideally contain both the barcode and the numerical number underneath.
Labels or stickers can vary in design but should be of suitable quality that they can readily stick to a variety of surfaces. They should also be durable and hard wearing to such an extent that they are capable of withstanding the period between testing without deterioration. The label should be positioned in a prominent position where it can be clearly seen.
Equipment failing the inspection and testing must be put beyond use and clearly labeled with a sticker indicating that it has failed.

Long Pines' Mia Lil Pink began 2018 as Black Hills Stock Show Supreme Horse then went on to win a World title. Photo credit ScootemNShootem.
South Dakota Mare Wins at 2018 Ranch Horse World Championships
News Release - June 18, 2018
GUTHRIE, Okla. - After intense competition in Guthrie, Okla., during the week of June 12, 2018, Mia Lil Pink was All-Around Horse at the 2018 National Ranch and Stock Horse Alliance World Championships (NRSHA) and third in the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Versatility Ranch Horse World Championships All-Around Horse. On her way to the NRSHA world championship, she won the Open Ranch Cutting and was reserve in the Open Ranch Riding.
Mia Lil Pink is a seven-year-old mare owned by Long Pines Land and Livestock of Buffalo, S.D. This exceptionally talented mare is frequently in the winner's circle. She was the 2018 Black Hills Stock Show (BHSS) Supreme Horse. In unprecedented fashion, she won the AQHA Open All-Around Versatility Ranch Horse for both 2017 and 2018 at the BHSS. At the age of six, she had already earned her AQHA Register of Merit (ROM).
"These ranch versatility competitions test a horse's skills in cow work, reining, cutting, ranch riding and trail. Conformation also plays a role in the AQHA events," says Deb Brown of Long Pines. Deb and her husband, Larry Licking, have developed a successful horse program, combining cow horse with speed bloodlines. For competition, Long Pines horses have found success with Justin Lawrence, Alzada, Mont., who trained and rode Pink to her versatility titles. In 2017, she was also the mount for Justin's daughter, Dallie, in youth reined cow horse events.
Long Pines purchased Pink as a young prospect from Bill and Janiejill Tointon of Colorado. "We wanted a daughter of reined cow horse stallion Shining Lil Nic to add to our broodmares," says Brown. "In fact, she's coming home from Guthrie and going into the band with Bettin Yer Smart, our NRCHA (National Reined Cow Horse Association) national champion stallion."
Long Pines Land & Livestock, based in northwestern South Dakota and southeastern Montana, is a family ranch where horses earn their way every day on the rangeland and in the arena. The ranch is also home to a prominent herd of registered Irish Black and Irish Red cattle. For more information, visit the ranch's website at www.longpineslivestock.com.

The 1964 Winter Olympics, officially known by the International Olympic Committee as the IX Olympic Winter Games, were a multi-sport event held in Innsbruck, Austria, from 29 January through 9 February 1964. A total of 1,095 athletes representing 36 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in the Games in 34 events across 10 disciplines.

The Olympic program was adjusted from that of the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics with the return of bobsleigh and luge after the sports had been skipped due to the lack of facilities for them in Squaw Valley. Unlike the preceding Games, a demonstration sport, ice stock sport, was incorporated into the 1964 Olympic program. This was the second and most recent occasion on which this sport (a German variant of curling), had been played as a demonstration sport at the Winter Olympics; the first appearance was at the 1936 Winter Olympics. Both men and women participated in the 1964 Games, with twelve women's events incorporated into the program.

The Soviet Union won the most medals; its athletes collected a total of 25, 11 of which were gold. Norway placed second, with 15 medals, and host nation Austria placed third, with 12 medals. Of the 36 competing NOCs, 14 won at least one medal, with 11 of these winning at least one gold. The 1964 Games were marred by the deaths of two competitors during training – the British luge competitor Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski and the Australian alpine skier Ross Milne.

The Scandinavian nations Sweden, Norway and Finland, as well as the Soviet Union, repeated their dominance of the 1960 cross-country skiing medal tally in 1964 – together, they won all of the medals attainable for this sport. Similarly, Germany had great success at the luge competition, with the United Team of Germany winning five of the available nine medals. Two participants representing Great Britain placed first in the two-man bobsleigh event, earning that nation its first Winter Olympics gold medal in 12 years. Lidiya Skoblikova, a speed skater representing the Soviet Union, earned the most medals at the 1964 Games, winning gold in all four of the women's events in her sport.

Paul Lewis: Why HMRC's latest clampdown goes way too far
Posted on 4th March 2019 | by Arthur Beverly
I read an interesting article in Money Marketing last week which I thought might be of interest to you.
It concerns the new loan charge tax that could be demanded from 50,000 people and which sets a worrying precedent.
"No one is more vitriolic about tax "evoiders" than me. Just the other day, I argued with a friend who was getting a four-figure sum out of the bank to pay his builder in cash because "it would be cheaper".
So how can I – a scourge of contractors who pretend to be companies so they can pay themselves in lightly taxed dividends – be sympathetic to another group – the 50,000 now in HM Revenue & Customs' sights who paid little or no tax by being remunerated with an interest-free loan outside the income tax scope?
People often say I fail to distinguish between tax evasion, which is illegal – for example, hiding money offshore – and tax avoidance – the use of tax laws in a creative way to pay less tax – which is, they say, legal. But that binary choice is not realistic.
I explained the word evoidance in my Money Marketing Column last April as "the grey hinterland where something thought to be legal avoidance turns out to have been outside the law all along". Unlike more complex tax evoidance wheezes, the loan schemes I want to talk about used the simple fact that, if I lend you money which you repay, that loan is not counted as income and so is not taxable.
Instead of paying people for the work they did, the employer or engager paid a third-party company – usually offshore – which lent that money to its clients interest-free. Those payments were considered to be non-taxable. Loans were due to be repaid in, say, 10 years but the idea was that would never be enforced.
Instead of losing 32 per cent or 42 per cent of their pay to tax and National Insurance, contractors paid a much smaller amount – 5 per cent or 10 per cent – by way of a fee to the scheme operators. Some of those who joined such a scheme tell me the charges were higher – almost as much as the tax that would have been due.
Stunning in its simplicity, the scheme was sold to people as passed by tax QCs and accountants. Indeed, even HMRC seemed to accept them for a while – at least I am told that, for many years, it did not raise any queries when people put the details on their self-assessment tax forms and in the declaration of tax avoidance schemes.
However, the taxman did raise major questions when the football club Rangers started disguising the pay of its players by putting their money – or a big chunk of it – into a trust which then lent them that cash interest-free.
The case went through the courts with one judgment agreeing with HMRC and another supporting Rangers. Finally, in July 2017, the Supreme Court ruled the scheme was artificial and the employer – Rangers Football Club – was liable for the tax that had been evoided. RFC is now in administration.
The case gave little clarity to thousands of smaller cases and HMRC would face a long and expensive battle to take numerous schemes through tribunals and the courts where winning was not guaranteed.
So even before the judgment, the government decided to cut through the Gordian knot by passing a law which allowed HMRC to recover the equivalent of the tax evoided. This is the notorious loan charge scheme in the Finance (No. 2) Act 2017.
The people affected will, in theory, have to pay all they owe on 5 April. Jolly good, some say. They thought they would avoid the tax paid by other colleagues who were employed in the normal way. Now they have to pay. However, there are very worrying aspects of this law.
First, it recovers tax HMRC says was due back to 1999. Normally, unpaid tax can be recovered for four years or six in some cases. The 20-year recovery is normally confined to deliberate and criminal acts of evasion.
Second, the law is retrospective. Treasury minister Mel Stride denies that is the case, saying on Money Box that "these schemes have always been ineffective. They have never worked. They have always been tax avoidance".
But I cannot see how a law passed in 2017 allowing HMRC to recover money back to 1999 is anything but retrospective. If HMRC can get away with that, it can do it again in other areas, forcing people to revisit tax they thought was settled back to the last century. If these deals never worked, why does HMRC not just pursue people through the normal means? Why pass a special law?
Third, many of those affected have told me they had no choice. The employers and engagers loved these schemes which saved them employers' NI contributions and the cost of workers' rights so they forced them on their hapless workers.
Finally, although HMRC claimed in November that the average charge of those who have settled is £23,000, the reported size of the sums demanded from others who cannot afford to settle is so big they could bankrupt them, forcing them to sell their homes and live in poverty for the rest of their lives.
I hate tax evoidance. But this goes too far."

— Issue 2007/6 posted by hidden europe on 20 Feb 2007 —
Consider a journey that starts in the Swiss Alps and ends in an abandoned city in the south Caucasus region. To be more precise, we'll start at Pontresina, just over the hill from St Moritz. It's a place where poets and philosophers used to come for their holidays. From Matthew Arnold to Herbert Marcuse. Stefan Zweig was a regular, and discovered in Pontresina what he claimed were the best petits fours in the world.
article summary —
Dear fellow travellers
Nowadays, the literati are gone, but Pontresina is the amiable starting point for our travels in the March 2007 issue of our magazine.
In this new issue of hidden europe we meander through Europe, stopping off in Vojvodina en route. Can you imagine a territory the size of Wales that has six official languages? Guest writer Laurence Mitchell introduces us to a couple of small towns in Banat. And we visit communities in Russia where generations of industry have slowly taken their toll, creating a modern landscape of decay.
Along the way, we make some diversions. To El Hierro in the Canaries, in search of an old prime meridian; to some of Scotland's remotest mainland communities; to Plopsaland on the Belgian coast and to a few airport churches and chapels. And we join hidden europe's regular correspondent Karlos Zurutuza who travels from the Armenian capital, Yerevan, to the de facto republic of Nagorno Karabakh. Have a look at the full table of contents of hidden europe 13 on our website.
To celebrate two years of hidden europe, we have a special offer that lasts until Sunday 4 March. Take out a new one year subscription, starting with issue 13, and add a free back issue of your choice.
Saturday morning in Donaueschingen, a small town on the edge of the Black Forest in southwest Germany, had that unmistakable 'morning after the night before' feeling. The empty streets were still bedecked with balloons and banners, and coloured confetti swirled on the cobbles. In the Café Olé, the last of last night's revellers lingered over a slow coffee. During the evening and night they were demons, witches and spirits. This morning they are just feeling very, very tired.
There's nothing like a carnival for a little bit of licensed bacchanalia. And these days in the run-up to Ash Wednesday (tomorrow) are the chance for usually sane and sensible Germans to do utterly ridiculous things, like jumping in fountains, painting their faces red and kidnapping the local mayor. The normal social order is disrupted by an officially sanctioned bout of liminal madness.
In southwest Germany and northern Switzerland, these days of heady chaos are called Fasnet. For the best part of a week, there are parades laced with fiery rituals which give the whole affair a rather pagan tone. Menacing masks and a pre-Lent orgy of doughnut eating are the order of the day. Curious displays of public promiscuity and ritualised transgressions abound. Carnivalesque inversions of the usual hierarchies allow revellers to mock the mayor, the bishop, the government or the police. And, within limits, without fear of reprisals. It all works because deep down we all know who is really in charge. And tomorrow the conventional order will be restored. The key to the town hall, handed over by the mayor to a clutch of jesters last Friday evening will be returned, and everyone in Donaueschingen will go back to work.
In some centres, like Rottweil and Villingen, Fasnet has become an industry that purposefully appeals to visitors from far and wide. But in Donaueschingen, as in a thousand other towns and villages across the region, this harmless bit of bacchanalia is a community performance that appeals only unto itself. Outsiders, while tolerated, are few and far between. Ultimately, Fasnet, like so many similar unsung festivals around Europe, is just one of the important ways in which communities negotiate and proclaim their own identities.

A protective order is a civil court order issued to prevent continuing acts of family violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Protective orders are extremely serious. Many people underestimate the severity and consequences of a protective order. If you have a protective order issued against you, you better learn what it really means and what you probably haven't been told, particularly if it is causing you issues having access to your child.

Ohio State students show out against Columbus police after Ma'Khia Bryant's killing
In addition to protesting in a school administration building, students took the streets to demand a response from the university.
Brittany Valentine
Following the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant, hundreds of students at Ohio State University (OSU) gathered in a common area to demand that the school cut ties with the Columbus Division of Police.

On Tuesday, April 20, minutes before the Derek Chauvin trial concluded with a guilty verdict, a Columbus police officer shot Bryant four times, and she died later in a local hospital.
According to Bryant's aunt, Hazel, her niece was the one who made the call to police for help because a couple of older girls in her suburban neighborhood were threatening her with assault. However, the police have not publicly identified who made the call.
Bryant, who somehow got a hold of a knife, tried to defend herself against two of the girls, charging towards them, and an officer quickly responded by shooting Bryant.
Bystanders who witnessed the chaotic incident were immediately shocked and outraged, yelling "she's just a kid!"
Protests erupted shortly after the shooting, both at the scene of the crime on Legion Lane, and at the city's police headquarters.
Between both locations, hundreds of community members gathered, holding Black Lives Matter signs, chanting via megaphones and giving emotional speeches on trauma, grief, anti-police sentiment and Black liberation.
Hana Abdur-Rahim, with the Black Abolitionists Collective, confirmed the stoic response, describing that this is just another day in Black America.
"We are in a literal genocide. We are fighting for our lives," he said..
On Wednesday night, demonstrations continued at Ohio State University.
In the wake of the monumental racial justice case that finally brought accountability to the ex-cop who murdered George Floyd, tensions were high when people heard of yet another police shooting of an innocent Black person.
Images posted to social media showed students packed in the Ohio Union, which houses student services, dining areas, a bank, and other university offices. Some people made speeches, but there were no reports of vandalism or unruly behavior.

In a statement to Fox News, a university spokesman said that the school "supports the rights of our students, faculty and staff to peacefully express their views and to speak out about issues that are important to them."
"Freedom of speech and civic engagement are central to our values as an institution of higher education," the spokesman continued.
The crowd eventually departed from their sit-in protest at the Ohio Union, and proceeded to march down a nearby street.
Some carried signs with the victim's name, along with phrases like "say her name," while another student had a sign that said: "Being Black shouldn't be a death sentence."

Students are adamantly calling for the school to sever their connections with the Columbus Division of Police (CDP).
The university currently has a contract with CPD for specific services, mainly traffic control for sporting events. The school police department also has a mutual-aid agreement with authorities to assist the police division off-campus.
This is not the first time that students from OSU voiced these concerns and made the request to take action on behalf of their Black student population.

In June 2020, following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, OSU's student government councils sent a joint letter to university officials demanding that the school cut ties with the CDP.
Undergraduate Student Body President Roaya Higazi, Council of Graduate Students President Stephen Post, and Council of Student Affairs Chair Jordan Vajda cited in their letter that "injustices against the Black community and Columbus protesters" by CDP as the reason for their demands.
The letter was addressed to President Michael V. Drake, Senior Vice President Jay Kasey, Vice President Dr. Melissa Shivers, Chief Kimberley Spears-McNatt, and Director of Public Safety Monica Moll.
The student government leaders described the violent way in which Columbus police responded to peaceful protesters, "with wooden bullets, teargas, pepper spray and other chemical agents and military-grade forces."
"We witnessed our peers and Columbus neighbors endure unwarranted physical and verbal aggression for peacefully demanding justice and exercising their right to protest," they wrote.
big props to the current @usgosu administration for this letter & for offering more concrete steps than the university has thus far. go boost & support their advocacy by emailing your university & college leaders to take action. https://t.co/RgMOWiFqtW
— roaya (@roayahigazi) April 19, 2021
The letter outlined five demands that they feel would provide more peace, respect, safety, and protection for their entire student population, particularly Black students.
The students requested an immediate cease of contractual agreements between OSU and the CDP, and an immediate cease of the mutual-aid service contracts.
They also demanded that the university stop accepting federal, military-grade resources and reduce the budget for expenditures that may be used for further militarization.
As an alternative, the students suggested re-allocating the funds to invest in student support units like the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the Student Life Multicultural Center and the Student Wellness Center.
Next, they requested that the OSU Department of Public Safety release an action plan, designed through collaboration with students, that would affirm the commitment to Black student safety and overall safety through "disarmed, anti-force, and culturally competent practices."
Lastly, the student government representatives demanded that the university both acknowledge and condemn the anti-Black violence that the CDP committed against OSU students and the greater community of Columbus, Ohio.
In response, an OSU spokesperson issued a vague statement, stating that university officials would "be in dialogue with our student government leaders about the specific concerns they have raised."
"We know our students are hurting, we are here to support them, and we are inspired by their commitment to this cause. We must all work together to end abuse, discrimination, bigotry, and hatred," the spokesperson wrote, leaving much to be desired from the viewpoint of the student government representatives.
very wild to me that hundreds of students disrupted the union today & campus/administrators are acting like it never happened. but less wild when you realize universities intentionally ignore & wait for student activists to burn out/graduate & have been doing so for years. https://t.co/pOW32zQA3p

Sidmouth Town Reserves returned to winning ways with a 3-0 success at Wellington Town Reserves in a Macron League Division One meeting.
Playing up the significant slope at the Somerset club's ground in the first half, it was the Vikings that set the tone.
With Scott Hughes' hold up play being integral to most of the good football that the Vikings produced, this allowed Jake Boyland and Ferenc Bodor to get in support of their strike partner.
Time and again Bodor was put through out wide, but his return was a 50 per cent success rate on his final ball. Hughes was then upended in the penalty area only for the referee to wave play on!
Midway through the half Hughes showed great strength and pace to beat his marker and slot home the opening goal. Both Boyland and Bodor had chances to add to the tally, but couldn't quite make it pay. At the other end of the pitch the young back four of Louis Spalding, Ben Miller, Matt Colson and Matt Salter were coping well with anything that Wellington could muster.
Robert Glukowski was relieved to see a well-struck shot hit the bar shortly before the break. Will Jenkins somehow managed to put the ball over the bar from two yards out as the interval loomed.
The second period saw the home side have more possession in their own half as Town sat deeper, playing down the slope. The counter attack was Town's plan and again this was put to good use. Fresh legs were needed, so Tom Moore and Ben Goodier were summoned from the bench for the final third of the contest.
Moore showed some nice touches out wide and went close to adding a second, by showing great determination to first win a tackle and, second, to be alert enough to come on to the breaking ball and strike it into the net via the far post.
Within minutes Goodier made a fantastic run and Damien Armes slotted a slide rule pass for Goodier to prod home the third and final goal to round off a most satisfactory afternoon's performance from the Town side.
Joint boss Paddy Thomas said: "In games where you are dominant you can be caught out not taking chances.
"We created quite a few, but looked solid at the back. Ben Miller showed what a versatile, quality player he is, playing at centre half and strolling through the game. His anticipation of most situations and being dominant throughout, gave a platform for others to perform.
On Saturday (April 14), Town's second team are away at Colyton at a venue to be announced.

Udder Delights began as a dream between two best friends; owners Casey Stechnij and Sherene Robinson. They wanted to bring homemade ice cream and creative desserts to Gilbert, utilizing as many locally-made ingredients as they could. Stechnij's family-owned dairy farm in Mesa, Superstition Farm, provides the milk and cream that go in to the ice cream and butter that are used at the store. What makes their ice cream and dessert bar great is that there are always unique culinary surprises in store for their customers. Whether it is the fresh homemade ice cream, brownies and cookies, ice cream pies and cakes, pastries, panna cotta or fresh fruit mousse, there is always something new and delectable to be found at Udder Delights. Udder Delights have been named the winner of the Taste of Gilbert event for 2008 and we plan on continuing to be one of Gilbert's flagship locally-owned businesses.
This holiday season, Udder Delights will be offering our seasonal and holiday cakes and pies, made with our without our award-winning homemade ice cream. A few of the pie varieties will be pumpkin, apple and cherry. Or, if customers don't see exactly what they want, they can place a custom order and their pastry chefs will make holiday dessert magic happen for our customer's next party or event.

Our family has been going to Udder Delights since it has opened. It has been exciting to see a local, independent business take shape and blossom. We are excited to see Udder won the Taste of Gilbert – something we have known for some time.
