Morocco to Export Green Electricity to Four European Countries
Europe capitalizes on Morocco's ample renewable resources to meet climate goals.
Rabat - Morocco signed on Tuesday a memorandum of understanding with France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain to support the integration of green electricity markets in Europe in line with efforts to mitigate climate change.
The agreement signed in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on the sidelines of COP 27, focuses on a two-year plan to remove "unjustified" barriers for cross-border renewable corporate power purchase agreements between all parties, as well as adopting measures to facilitate financial, and technical cooperation.
"The signature of this MoU," according to Morocco's Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development Leila Benali, "marks the common willingness of our five countries to promote exchanges on a larger scale of clean and environmentally friendly energies."
While the MoU currently focuses on short-term goals, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, France, and Germany are considering medium and long-term actions for the integration of energy markets of the European states in line with the EU's Green Deal.
The comprehensive pact aims to reach net zero by 2050 and mitigate climate change and environmental degradation to make Europe the "first climate-neutral continent."
The transcontinental green electricity deal concluded yesterday, it adds to previous initiatives aiming to support Morocco's growing renewable energy infrastructure to meet the demand for power in Europe such as the British Xlinks project.
In addition to power purchase deals, Morocco has signed other agreements in line with article 6 of the Paris agreement which calls for strengthening cooperation between countries to collectively reach decarbonization and act on global warming.
On Monday, Morocco and Switzerland agreed to reiterate their commitment to article 6 by signing a cooperation agreement, aiming to support the climate agenda of both countries to keep rising global temperatures below 1.5 degrees celsius by 2100.
Rabat and Bern have previously agreed to lay the foundation for carbon trading, a key concept in article 6, and other climate-related conventions including the Tokyo Protocol. In September, the Swiss governing body approved bilateral carbon trading agreements with Morocco, Malawi, and Uruguay.
With Morocco's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels and industry per capita estimated at 1.75 tonnes per capita in 2020, the country is less polluting than major industrial and economic hubs such as Switzerland (3.37 tonnes per capita) and Singapore (7.78 tonnes per capita).
In October, Singapore-based media reported that the southeast Asian country is currently in talks with Morocco to buy carbon credits in a bid to meet climate goals.
The trade would allow Singapore-based companies to offset their carbon footprint by purchasing Moroccan carbon credits (each equivalent to one tonne of CO2 or other greenhouse gases).

Wilhelm Meisters läroår () är en utvecklingsroman av den tyske författaren Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, utgiven 1795-96. Den handlar om en ung köpman som söker sig till teatervärlden, i ett försök att undkomma vad han upplever som ett tomt borgerligt liv. Boken anses ha grundat genren bildningsroman och var tongivande i romantikens framväxt. Friedrich Schlegel, den ledande kritikern inom den tyska romantiken, jämställde bokens historiska betydelse med den franska revolutionen. Boken gavs ut på svenska 1931 i översättning av Teresia Eurén.

På 1820-talet skrev Goethe en uppföljare, Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre ("Wilhelm Meisters vandringsår"). Wilhelm Meisters läroår är förlaga till operan Mignon av Ambroise Thomas. Wim Wenders' film Falsche Bewegung från 1975 är en fri filmatisering av romanen.

Dinero Ranch New Mexico: Search New Mexico high and low, and it would be difficult to find "pound-for-pound" a better recreational property than Dinero Ranch, located just southeast of Chama. Whether your passion is nature photography, hiking, big game hunting, stillwater or stream fishing, snowshoeing or even golf, Dinero Ranch holds treasures galore awaiting your discovery.
Hunting is legendary at Dinero Ranch, and many a tale has been told about the famous "Mundy Buck," a massive mule deer taken from the ranch that scored 288 6/8 B&C and produced the widest mule deer rack ever submitted to the Boone & Crockett book. Many impressive mulies continue to populate the ranch, and previous owners have carefully managed the land to maximize its potential for trophy big game hunting. Selective hunting, predator management, fields planted in winter wheat, and well-developed watering holes keep bragging-size mule deer in the 180- to 200+ inch class on the property. Not far behind are the trophy elk opportunities, with bull elk commonly scoring over 300 inches.
Anglers are by no means shortchanged here, either. Stillwater anglers can sample two of the ranch's larger ponds that hold rainbows in the multi-pound category, and many other of the ranch's 15+ ponds could be stocked to support several species of large trout. Stream anglers will delight to have access to miles of Chavez Creek, where a light rod and wild trout make for many days of stress-free exploration.
If superb hunting and fishing isn't enough, how about a round of golf? Four "extreme" holes with manicured greens have been developed on the ranch, with plans available for five more. Then there's endless hiking and horseback riding in the summer, ski touring and snowshoeing in the winter, and four-wheeling on the extensive network of ranch roads. Not many minutes away is El Vado Reservoir and the Chama River, both renowned for trophy brown trout fishing, and the quaint mountain town of Chama, home to the spectacular Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad and many shops. The cultural centers of Santa Fe is about two hours south, and world-class downhill skiing happens at Taos, about a 90-minute drive.


I love the layout, I think I might change the colour scheme, but overall, pretty happy with the new Waye Mason website. I am not sure that anyone will know it is updated as I changed it so the index.php file appears in the root directory not the wbm directory… what that means in English is all the outside links are likely broken.
Please stand by while I finish updating the site, and maybe soon I will return to updating it regularly too!

BCC, Zesa debt talks collapse
Talks between the Bulawayo City Council (BCC) and the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa) over a $9,2 million debt the local authority owes have collapsed.
The power utility rejected a payment offer by the municipality after an initial round of talks saying it was "too little".
Last week, Zesa disconnected power supplies to three of the council's strategic buildings, City Hall, Tower Block and Revenue Hall, in a bid to force the municipality to pay its debt or at least a substantial part of it.
NewsDay could not establish the exact amount the municipality offered Zesa as part-payment during initial negotiations.
However, BCC financial director Kempton Ndimande yesterday confirmed negotiations were in progress, but would not divulge details.
"May you please give us time?" Ndimande said.
"We are still working on negotiations with Zesa and your reports will jeopardise the deliberations."
Bulawayo Deputy Mayor Amen Mpofu also declined to discuss details of the negotiations.
"At the moment we have what we call a management arrangement that is working on the negotiations," he said.
"We trust them and are positive that they will work something out. So far they have not reported anything to us about the negotiations, which means they are on course."
However, inside sources said the local authority would this week go back to Zesa with more money in a bid to have power reconnected at its institutions.
"The negotiating team initially went to Zesa last week but they failed to agree on the amount that council was offering so the talks broke down," a source said.
"They will go back again this week with a substantial amount in the hope that the negotiations will pull through."
The unavailability of electricity in the council's three strategic offices has crippled its operations. The mayor's office is using a power generator.

Jon Johnson Photo/Gila Valley Central: It's time to sign up for the Pioneer Days sporting events.
THATCHER – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' stakes of Safford, Thatcher and Pima sponsored the Gila Valley Pioneer Days celebration Saturday and the resounding opinion was that it was a stupendous success.
From left, Pima's team of Justin Kartchner, Trey Thompson and Jarrett Kartchner finished second to a team from Morenci for the 3 on 3 basketball title.
As the parade winded down, throngs of people descended upon John T. Mickelson Field at Eastern Arizona College as the patriotic-themed band "Tribute" set the crowd up to be bowled over by this year's Battle of the Bands winner, "PB&H".
Thousands of residents and visitors joined in on the family fun, which featured food and frivolity. After a full set that had event goers dancing in the field, "PB&H" played a musical medley of 80s hits before passing the torch to the pre-recorded music and fireworks show that lit up the stadium and elicited oohs and aahs from the crowd.
The band "PB&H" heats up the stage.
Lindsay Rasmussen and her family took a trip down from Utah to the Gila Valley to visit family. She said she was ecstatic with how the performance went.
"I loved the band, and the fireworks were great," she said.
Larsen Bennet, of Florence, was also in town visiting family and summed up the overall theme of the event.
"It was a fantastic night that I enjoyed spending with my family," he said.
People came from near and far to join in on the family fun and frivolity. Pictured, Larson Bennett, of Florence, enjoys a barbecue dinner.
Pioneer Day is an official holiday in Utah. The event commemorates the arrival of Brigham Young and the first group of LDS pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. In the Gila Valley, the event also celebrates the LDS pioneers who helped establish settlements here and elsewhere in Arizona.

Culture and Benefits
Gene therapies are employed to treat or prevent diseases caused by single gene mutation or expression failure. They offer an unprecedented opportunity, even a cure, for patients with diseases that existing interventions are inadequate. A viral vector is commonly used to deliver a normal copy of the gene to the cells. As a result, the transgene expresses normal proteins in vivo, which will rescue or enhance function and provide clinical benefits to patients.
The recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector used in gene therapy drugs developed by Belief BioMed is the industry's leading platform for in vivo gene delivery. Compared with other delivery vectors, AAV brings significant benefits due to its non-pathogenicity, low immune response, high transduction efficiency, improved tissue/cell specificity and long-term transgene expression activity. In addition, promoter, as well as other components, is designed and incorporated into cassette to drive different levels of gene expression or to limit it to specific cell types.
Belief BioMed holds comprehensive patent portfolio covering a variety of gene therapy targets, capsids & expression cassettes. Leveraging internal AAV capsid development platform, we have developed a number of innovative capsids with high tissue specificity and transduction efficiency,and continued evolving them to design a therapy candidate specific to the disease being targeted. We believe the internal customization capability enables us to develop the best-in-class gene therapies in the industry.
Cutting-edge bioprocessing is critical to guarantee yield and clinical performance of AAV gene therapies. With multiple-year expertise for AAV sciences and engineering, BBM has established suspension system and high-yield cell line for AAV production. We have validated and standardized manufacturing for a spectrum of batch sizes from 200L to 500L in Minhang development & manufacturing center. Large-scale cGMP manufacturing facility in Lingang Special Area of Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone is under construction and will launch commercial lot in 2022.
Design and operation of Minhang development & manufacturing center is compliant with GMP standards. The 5000 m2 facility comprises of functions of plasmid production & purification, cell expansion, scalable production & purification of virus & therapies, fill & finish, and quality control, all of which are designed in a manner of fully integrated production. The facility was designed to accommodate needs of innovative gene therapy candidates from pre-clinical stages to clinical development and commercialization.
Meanwhile, the company has a bioprocessing development team and an analytical/quality team under the same roof. This enables us to develop state-of-the-art processes and analytical methodologies in house, which can be transferred to (c)GMP manufacturing by following internal project procedure. The mechanism for BBM to develop its own processes and talents is aimed to ensure that know-how gained during process development is retained within the company, foundation of our long-term vision.
Belief BioMed manufacturing team consists of hundreds of well-trained multidisciplinary staffs with expertise in process development, manufacturing, quality control and analytics, regulatory policy and project management of gene therapies.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. The disorder affects several regions of the brain, especially an area called the substantia nigra that controls balance and movement.
Generally, Parkinson disease that begins after age 50 is called late-onset disease. The condition is described as early-onset disease if signs and symptoms begin before age 50. Early-onset cases that begin before age 20 are sometimes referred to as juvenile-onset Parkinson disease.
Parkinson's disease affects more than 7 million people worldwide. In China, the prevalence of Parkinson's disease in people over the age of 65 is about 1.7 percent. In the United States, Parkinson's disease occurs in approximately 13 per 100,000 people, and about 60,000 new cases are identified each year.
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows the blood clotting process. People with this condition experience prolonged bleeding or oozing following an injury, surgery, or having a tooth pulled. In severe cases of hemophilia, continuous bleeding occurs after minor trauma or even in the absence of injury (spontaneous bleeding). Serious complications can result from bleeding into the joints, muscles, brain, or other internal organs. Milder forms of hemophilia do not necessarily involve spontaneous bleeding, and the condition may not become apparent until abnormal bleeding occurs following surgery or a serious injury.
The major types of this condition are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia or factor VIII deficiency) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease or factor IX deficiency). Although the two types have very similar signs and symptoms, they are caused by mutations in different genes. People with an unusual form of hemophilia B, known as hemophilia B Leyden, experience episodes of excessive bleeding in childhood but have few bleeding problems after puberty.
The two major forms of hemophilia occur much more commonly in males than in females. Hemophilia A is the most common type of the condition; 1 in 4,000 to 1 in 5,000 males worldwide are born with this disorder. Hemophilia B occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 newborn males worldwide.

Super-storms, climate change and war
Phyllis Bennis reports from Washington DC on the ideological impact of Hurricane Sandy
November 13, 2012 · 4 min read
Downtown Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy, by André-Pierre
The super-storm that ravaged Haiti, Cuba and much of the East Coast of the United States two weeks ago, just ahead of the U.S. elections, may finally be recognised as the 'shock and awe' phase of climate change's permanent war against the United States.
Certainly the devastating effects of climate change have been visible elsewhere in the world much earlier. Hurricane Sandy may bring even the most ideologically blinded in the U.S. to join the awareness of the rest of the world, as the reality of climate chaos becomes irrefutable. Some argued that the storm's ferocity was the great equalizer, because rich as well as poor were left without power for days and weeks, luxury townhouses were swept aside along with seaside shacks and derelict public housing buildings. But that claim ignores the stark reality of the dramatic wealth-poverty divide in this country—laid newly bare by the storm.
In New York, probably the most unequal city in this country, the collapse of infrastructure under the relentless pounding of hurricane-force wind and rain was not an equal opportunity catastrophe. Who will be able to rebuild—and who will not? Whose lives will be permanently destroyed—and who will ultimately walk away with some frightening memories? Who had insurance coverage for their houses – and who lived in uninsured rental apartments? Without the subways, people of means could join the endless lines for crowded taxis—poor people walked. When banks and finance companies and the stock market closed, their salaried employees continued to collect their pay checks—poor people, who couldn't get to their low-wage hourly-paid jobs, didn't get paid at all. Do we really think that the rebuilding of the opulent high-rises of Manhattan's Battery Park City will take as long, and leave their residents as desperate, as the reconstruction—or even repair—of the huge public housing projects in Red Hook, Brooklyn, demolished by the raging floods?
Its proximity to the U.S. elections means this storm provides a broad test for the capacity and the legitimacy of government: will its response be able to provide for despairing people's most basic needs, or will government failure lay bare, as did Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the racism, poverty and disempowerment that still shape so many lives in this country? Hurricane Sandy posed an immediate choice in the presidential election as well, with voters choosing a campaign and a candidate acknowledging the moment demanded full mobilisation of every facet of public and government capability. Supporters of the defeated Mitt Romney had called instead for FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) to be defunded and urged victims of the storm to rely on the largesse of the private sector and church-based charity.
In the longer term, of course, the super-storm's challenge goes way beyond the election to the far more important question facing our movements: how to fight with renewed urgency to realise Rachel Carson's vision of the human right to a safe environment for the entire planet.
In the meantime, for those of us in this country unaccustomed to the immediacy and implacability of war, the massive destruction in much of New Jersey and New York City gives us a hint of what it must have been like in Iraq, almost ten years ago, when George W. Bush's 'shock and awe' destroyed power generators, electrical plants, water treatment facilities and more—suddenly rendering the once-modern city of Baghdad, with its skyscrapers and highways, silent and dark. For those on the twentieth floor of urban apartment buildings, the struggle to find clean water and a way to lug it upstairs without elevators could not have been so different than that faced by Iraq's high-rise dwellers.
Understanding this storm's impact in the context of our on-going struggles against climate change AND against inequality and war, may turn out to be one of the most important outcomes of this long and toxic election season.

This article was first published as part the German Development Institute's weekly column.
On 15 September, the world celebrates one of humanity's greatest success models: democracy. When the United Nations declared this date the International Day of Democracy 13 years ago, it was being carried along by a global wave of democratisation. Since then, democracy has found itself under pressure from both internal and external forces, and there are now more autocracies than democracies in the world for the first time in almost 20 years. The international community must act now and engage in democracy protection.
For two decades, the trend towards more and stronger democracies appeared clear and irreversible. Now, democracy is coming increasingly under pressure, and we are seeing a rise in autocracies across the world. In many countries, the global financial crisis of 2008 and "migration crises" in Europe have fuelled the emergence of populist and nationalist movements that reject fundamental democratic values such as political equality and the protection of minorities. Established democratic institutions and processes are coming under heavy attack in countries such as the USA, India, Brazil and Poland: amongst other things, the independence of electoral commissions is weakened, or legislation is used to restrict press freedom, discriminate against religious groups or persecute political opponents. And the SARS-CoV2 pandemic has played its part too: some governments are exploiting the exceptional circumstances to expand their powers and restrict the civic space.
It is also new how countries autocratise, that is, how existing democratic institutions and processes are being dismantled. Unlike the traditional, coup-driven way of overthrowing a government, the processes we are observing at present are marked by the steady erosion of democratic institutions rather than their sudden collapse. Affected countries gradually transform into hybrid regime types. Although they hold regular elections, these countries neither respect nor protect citizens' rights, civil liberties or the rule of law.
How Can and Should the International Community Respond to this Trend?
International efforts to promote democracy gained momentum in the 1990s. Recently, however, the issue has slipped down many political agendas – not least due to a securitisation of foreign policy, as in the context of the fight against terrorism. Nevertheless, the current situation in which democracy finds itself around the globe shows the continued importance of democracy promotion and the need to protect what has been accomplished so far.
One key insight of democracy promotion is the fact that it is not enough to simply focus on elections. Autocratisation mainly happens between elections, as political participation – but also, and in particular, citizens' rights and civil liberties and the rule of law – are gradually restricted. Without these basic freedoms, however, going to the polls also becomes irrelevant. What is especially alarming is the fact that the erosion of these institutions and freedoms is also sapping democracy's defensive strength once the separation of powers is undermined and checks and balances between democratic institutions are suspended. Firstly, democracy cannot defend itself, as, for instance, parliament's monitoring function is restricted or the independence of the judiciary system has been eroded. Secondly, the population alone is in no position to defend democracy either, as democratic instruments such as legal challenges against unconstitutional measures, demonstrations or public criticism are no longer possible or will be met with reprisals.. Here too, lockdowns imposed during the pandemic have played into the hands of the autocrats. The international community is therefore being called on to get involved in the protection of democracy at an early stage and to defend the fundamental pillars of democracy against subtle disintegration. How democracy can be protected effectively, however, is not an easy question and one that academics and decision-makers will have to answer together.
Across the world we see that citizens do not resign to autocratisation but are actively engaging for democracy, for example by taking to the streets, even if that often means risking their freedom or even their lives. They demand democracy. From Ecuador to Hong Kong, from Belarus to Sudan and Mali, people are fighting for their civil liberties and citizens' and human rights, for democracy and the rule of law. This shows that the idea of democracy is resilient and universal. If we are to reach out to these people, the international community will have to recognise that simply promoting democracy is not enough – it needs to be actively protected.

New Report on Radioactive Tap Water Renews Concerns About Trump Nominee
New Report on Radioactive Tap Water Renews Concerns
About Trump Nominee for Top Environmental Role
Critics are challenging Trump's "outrageous" and "alarming" move to renominate the former head of a Texas environmental agency who has admitted to falsifying reports of radiation levels in drinking water

7 Ways to Launch Your Own Anti-Plastics Movement
We have a whole world of plastic that needs to be replaced with other biodegradable materials. We have come to rely on this indestructible modern material for every single facet of daily life.
The food you ate today was probably sold in plastic packaging, the vehicle you transport yourself in has plastic components, be that a car, bus, bike, train, plane, boat, kayak … the computer you are reading this article on, even the charger and the wall socket protector … just look around.

Will People Eat Relish Made from 'Waste' Ingredients? Drexel Study Finds They May Even Prefer It
A new Drexel University study found strong potential for consumer acceptance of a new category of foods created from discarded ingredients.
http://drexel.edu/now/archive/2017/December/Food-Waste-Marketability-Research/
Rescued Relish is an anything-goes condiment made from excess produce that Philabundance, a Philadelphia anti-hunger organization, can't move. The relish is modeled on a Pennsylvania Dutch chowchow recipe — a tangy mix of sweet, spicy and sour flavors. Photo credit, Drexel Food Lab.
When and how to use the term 'zero waste' — and when to avoid it
As cities across the country, from Los Angeles to New York City, take "zero waste" pledges, it is clear that "zero waste" is transforming from a trend into a movement. From a sustainability perspective, the central goal of most "zero waste" initiatives — achieving 90 percent diversion — is a clear winner.
But from a communications perspective, "zero waste" is still unclear and potentially confusing. Not only does the term "zero waste" not necessarily mean what it says, but it can be polarizing. How can we most effectively communicate the waste reduction message encapsulated in the term "zero waste"? Do we need the term "zero waste" to guide our consumption and waste behaviors, or are we better off without it?

You can do your part to reduce single-use plastics by using a refillable water bottle made from long-lasting food grade stainless steel.
Organics Collections – Keep on Truckin'
Refillable glass bottles are making a comeback
According to the Beer Institute, Americans consume an average of 32 gallons of beer every year. (To no one's surprise, Nevada tops the list at 44 gallons per year. California is more restrained, below the nation's average, at 26 gallons per year.)
While this avid consumption is good for the growing beer market, the lack of an established bottle refilling program makes it exceedingly wasteful, too. But Caren McNamara, founder of Conscious Container, based in Truckee, sees a solution: bringing back the practice of reusing and refilling glass bottles.

'No marriage or family is perfect. In fact, many people may even admit that their families are downright dysfunctional. Traditional families are not the only types of families that seem to have problems, however. Because marriages and families today come in all shapes and sizes, marital and family problems can affect all sorts of non-traditional families as well, including blended families, extended families, single parent families, and families with same-sex parents.
All different types of families might be affected by all different types of problems. There are, however, a few very common arguments that arise in many families, causing undue stress and problems. Some common arguments may be about infidelity, jealousy, financial disagreements, child rearing, household responsibilities, substance abuse, mental illness, teenage rebellion, various career paths, and more.'

What is Marriage and Family Therapy?
A family's patterns of behavior influences the individual and therefore may need to be a part of the treatment plan. In marriage and family therapy, the unit of treatment isn't just the person - even if only a single person is interviewed - it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.
Marriage and family therapy is:
specific, with attainable therapeutic goals
designed with an "end in mind."
Marriage and family therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems including: depression, marital problems, anxiety, individual psychological problems, and child-parent problems.
The following video describes how a Marriage and Family Therapist approaches relational issues:
Couples or marriage counseling is offered to support people in relationships who may be considering separation or seeking improved intimacy and understanding. In couples counseling, the relationship is the focus, although each partner should also expect to focus on self-improvement and self-awareness.
Family therapy is based on the belief that the family is a unique social system with its own structure and patterns of communication. These patterns are determined by many things, including the parents' beliefs and values, the personalities of all family members, and the influence of the extended family (grandparents, aunts, and uncles). As a result of these variables, each family develops its own unique personality, which is powerful and affects all of its members.
Individual therapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist—in a safe, caring, and confidential environment—to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.

Ruth E. Carter (born April 10, 1960) is an American costume designer for film and television. During her film career, Carter has been nominated four times for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, for her work on Spike Lee's biographical film Malcolm X (1992), Steven Spielberg's historical drama film Amistad (1997), and Ryan Coogler's Marvel superhero films Black Panther (2018) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).

Carter has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design four times, and won for her work on Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. She is the first Black woman to win in the category and the first Black woman to win multiple Academy Awards in any category.

Early life
Carter was born on April 10, 1960 in Springfield, Massachusetts in a single-parent household. Her mother is Mabel Carter, and she was the youngest of eight children. At nine years old, she began attending the Boys & Girls Club. Using her mother's sewing machine, Carter learned from the organization how to read and design simplicity patterns. She graduated from Springfield Technical High School. In 1982, Carter graduated from Hampton Institute, later renamed Hampton University, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Arts.

Career
After graduating, Carter returned to her hometown, working as an intern for City Stage's costume department and then the Santa Fe Opera. In 1986, she moved to Los Angeles to work at the city's Theater Center. While working there, Carter met director Spike Lee, who hired her for his second film, School Daze (1988). She continued working on his subsequent films, including Do the Right Thing (1989), Mo' Better Blues (1990), Jungle Fever (1991), and Malcolm X (1992).

Aside from her work with Spike Lee, Carter also designed costumes for Steven Spielberg's Amistad (1997) and several of John Singleton's films, such as Rosewood (1997) and Baby Boy (2001). She further designed costumes for the American television drama series Being Mary Jane on BET Networks, created by Mara Brock Akil and starring Gabrielle Union.

Carter worked on the superhero film Black Panther (2018), directed by Ryan Coogler. Deriving from Afrofuturism, her costumes were inspired by many traditional African garments, including those of the Maasai and Ndebele people. She traveled to southern Africa to draw aesthetic inspirations and received permission to incorporate traditional Lesotho designs into the film's costumes. At the 91st Academy Awards, she won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, making her the first Black woman to win the Academy Award in the category.

In 2021, Carter received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the film category.

In 2023, Carter won her second Academy Award for Best Costume Design for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022). During her acceptance speech, Carter dedicated her win to her mother, who had passed away during the prior week at the age of 101. Also in 2023, the North Carolina Museum of Art hosted an exhibit displaying more than sixty of Carter's original garments.

United, City and Chelsea target available if 'right offer' arrives
April 20, 2015 / Zack Walford
Ever since Paul Pogba left Manchester United in 2012 on a bosman transfer, he has gone on to become one of the hottest young prospects in world football.
Since joining Juventus, Pogba has become a mainstay in the starting eleven, winning back-to-back Serie A titles and he also impressed at the World Cup last summer as he was named Best Young Player of the tournament in Brazil.
The French midfielder's agent admits if the 'right offer' is made, he will be sold this summer, with no shortage of interested parties. The young Frenchman continues to be linked with some of the Europe's biggest clubs such as Real Madrid, his former club Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
His agent, Mino Raiola, told La Stampa: "With Juventus we signed for five years, but we're all grown men and if the right offer comes along for Pogba, then the deal will be struck."
Raiola has also warned Juventus to spend the money wisely should they sell Pogba in the coming months.
"But what's most important for Juve will be rebuilding the team with that money, otherwise we'll remark two years from now that they made a mistake," he added.
"You should keep changing when you're strong, and not just when you're forced to. Next year they could do with four or five players."
Raiola went on to reveal that he has received over 2,000 calls since the beginning of the year regarding Pogba.
"I must have received more than 2,000 phone calls for him from the beginning of the year. Almost 20 a day, at least a couple of which were to negotiate.
"But they were only worth an engagement, not an actual wedding," he concluded
Where do you think Paul Pogba's next move will be?

Take this "One of a kind" handmade carpet and provide a long life protection and beauty to your floor. This is a perfect thing for providing uniqueness to a décor. It contains a medallion Kashan pattern which has been originated from Persia in the 17th century.
The legacy of this rug weaving is brilliantly illustrated in the romantic patterns and luminous textures of this rug which is hand-knotted in pure silk and cotton material. The warp is in the superior quality of cotton and weft is in 100% pure silk. It contains Medallion Kashan design pattern in which medallion pattern takes place in the center of carpet and the ground is filled with tiny floral motifs.


His ability to run for office in the future?
The Republican party in New Jersey?
The answer to all three — after talking with many people who interacted with him and his administration — was D) None of the above.
"I haven't read the book and I don't plan to," came back repeatedly.
For the few people (read: fellow media) who have (accurately) found (many) passages that appear to stray from the public record, the view appears to be that it is simply another book from another politician who gets to look back at his time in office. That means it comes with his own positive perspective and allows one last opportunity to take a negative swipe at his opponents (whether it be the Kushners, Steve Bannon, the media) while trying to adjust his legacy (see: Bridgegate).
In other words, it's just another book from a politician, one that will soon end up at bargain-bin bookstores after failing to resonate on Amazon and making only a brief stop at Costco and Target.
That doesn't mean it is inconsequential.
So said Bill Palatucci, one of the architects of Christie's political career, who remains a supporter.
"This is one of the very few books from a person with high level and direct contact with candidate (Donald) Trump and President Trump," he told ROI-NJ.
Readers and viewers ultimately will answer that question. And, while Christie has the resume to speak (federal prosecutor, two-term governor, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, presidential transition leader), the simple truth is that everyone in this state made up their mind about Christie years ago.
It's why there's little buzz about the book.
And could be one of the reasons Palatucci does not think the book will have any impact on any future races Christie may enter (and Palatucci in no way suggested he is going to) or on Christie's personal brand. If anything, Palatucci said, it just reinforces it.
"The book is vintage Chris Christie," he said. "He's got something to say and he's going to say it clear and emphatically.
Most importantly, Palatucci said he feels it will have no impact on the Republican Party in New Jersey.
"Everybody has to stand on their own two feet, pick up the mantle themselves and move forward," he said.
The Christie book tour is just getting started. The guess here is that it soon will be winding down.
The governor — love him or loathe him — certainly was one of the most consequential in the state's history in the past generation. Even his critics concede that.
And, like all politicians, he wanted an opportunity to get the last word.
"Let me finish," the book's title implores.
Most people apparently feel he already had.

Watch live: Minnesota Senate debates marriage equality ahead of crucial vote
Stephen C. Webster
The Minnesota state Senate will begin debating same sex marriage at 1 p.m. EST, ahead of the final vote required for its passage.
The House has already approved the bill, with a vote of 72-59 last Thursday.
Gov. Mark Dayton (D) has promised to sign it into law if the Senate concurs, making Minnesota the 12th state to extend the right of marriage equally to all its citizens.

Two charged in burglary of Claymont home
A 20-year-old man and 17-year-old boy have been charged in the burglary of a Claymont home, New Castle County police said in a release Tuesday.
Police were called to the first block of Seminole Ave. on Sunday, where an officer learned a teen was seen entering a home there while Northern was seen standing in front of the home, Officer First Class Tracey Duffy said. She said a witness reported the two had gone to the backyard of another home to throw items over a fence.
The officer retrieved the items and went to the home, where the victim reported a wallet and money were missing, Duffy said. She said police gathered evidence and drafted a warrant for the arrest of Northern and the teen.
Andre Northern, of the first block of Seminole Ave. in Claymont, has been charged with second-degree burglary, second-degree conspiracy and theft under $1,500.
He was taken into custody without incident on Monday at his home, was arraigned and was taken to Young Correctional Institution in lieu of $13,000 secured bail.
The 17-year-old, from the first block of Franklin Ave. in Claymont, faces the same charges. Duffy said he turned himself into police on Monday, was arraigned and was taken to the New Castle County Detention Center in lieu of $13,290 secured bail.
Duffy said a photograph of Northern is not available at this time.

The city of Cocoa approved a lease Tuesday with the non-profit Family Promise of Brevard, to take over the operation of a former firehouse. (Spectrum News 13/Will Robinson-Smith)
Cocoa approves leasing old firehouse building to housing stability nonprofit
By Will Robinson-Smith Brevard County
PUBLISHED 11:00 PM ET Aug. 24, 2021 PUBLISHED 11:00 PM EDT Aug. 24, 2021
COCOA, Fla. — An old fire station that once was once a home base to help rescue people will once again be used to help rescue residents in Brevard County, but in a very different way.
During its regular city council meeting on Tuesday, the City of Cocoa approved a lease agreement with the nonprofit Family Promise of Brevard to take over use of the facility that stopped being used as a fire station roughly three years ago.
Cocoa approved the lease agreement during Tuesday's City Council meeting
Family Promise of Brevard aims to help those who are going through housing insecurity
It also offers classes in financial education and other opportunities to improve the lives of the families it works with
"The first time I stepped here, on the site of the firehouse, it was really a sense of that this location that's fallen to blight can be turned and transformed into a place of hope and help for families," said Tara Pagliarini, the executive director of Family Promise of Brevard.
The effort to acquire what was once Fire Station One in Cocoa began in 2020. According to the charity's 2020 impact report, it saw a 450% increase in need for its services due to the pandemic.
The organization uses a three-pronged approach to tackling the issue of housing: prevention, shelter and stabilization. Over the course of last year, they expended $141,225 to landlords and utility providers to make sure families were able to stay in their homes and prevented 378 families from losing their housing.
That expenditure marked a 32% increase from the previous year.
Currently, their 10-member operation is run out of a facility in Rockledge, but Pagliarini said they wanted to move to Cocoa to not only be more central for all of Brevard County, but also to concentrate their efforts in an area of great need.
According to the lease agreement signed on Tuesday, Cocoa has the highest percentage of families in Brevard County that fall below the ALICE threshold at 73%. ALICE stands for "asset-limited, income-constrained," meaning employed households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the area's basic cost of living."
Moving to the fire station also allows the organization to more than double the physical footprint of their space, and would allow for more partnering organizations to come under the same roof.
"We can create small and large classes that focus on elevating residents to a living wage, Pagliarini said. "And so, we expect the classroom in this central part will be just exceptionally busy with multiple agencies coming in and delivering services and classes and workshops,"
The nonprofit was formed in Brevard County in 2007 and became operational in 2013, when it launched its shelter program. In the short term, the fire station won't be designed to be used as a shelter, but will help those needing shelter connect with places where they can stay.
About $1.5 million will be used to renovate the building with the goal of having it become operational around July 2022. They are also working on hiring an intake coordinator who can streamline their services.

Rain or Shine, They Climb Mountains to Feed the Hungry

"The river overflows when it rains, even a boat can't cross," Delia Rodriguez says. "We can't even cross the river to buy food."
Delia is from Dumagat tribe, one of indigenous people that lives in Bulacan province, a hard-to-reach region in the Philippines.
She adds, "Even we don't have electricity."
Access to education, nutritious meals, and jobs is a challenge for those living in remote regions. Image: Our Better World
Seeing the harsh lives led by the indigenous people of the Philippines, Bimboy Soque founded Tribu Ni Bro to carry out outreach missions to tribal regions, with volunteers bringing them food and school supplies.
Bimboy can still remember the shock, when he realised that the boy to whom he had given a cup of soup, was saving it so he could share it with his family.
"We knew that they hadn't eaten for the last three days," recalls Bimboy. "To think that nine people will share just one cup of soup."
"If you live on the mountain, you are considered very lucky if you can eat three or two times a day," says Bimboy to Our Better World, a storytelling initiative of the Singapore International Foundation.
UNDP estimated that the Philippines has about 14 million to 17 million indigenous people, belonging to 110 ethno-linguistic groups. Access to education, nutritious meals, and jobs is a challenge for those living in remote regions.
Getting to a tribal village can take anything between four hours to four days of trekking. Image: Our Better World
Getting to a tribal village like Delia's can take anything between four hours to four days of trekking through thick forest, fast-moving rivers, and up and down steep mountainsides.
Aside from bringing supplies, the group is also involved in community development, from bringing solar power to villages, to teaching farmers better techniques to improve their yield and make the most of their land.
"We always complain about the things we can't have," says Kathrine Mantala, one of the volunteer. "But when I went there [to volunteer], I saw how happy they [the tribes] were with the simple things."

These initiatives are funded out of volunteers' pockets and donations from the public.
"But still it is not enough to help the communities we visit. If we gather more sponsors, I think we could help more communities in the mountains," says Bimboy.

6 decades of Opel television ads
Mantas, Kapitäns, Kadetts and Omegas!
General Motors via Free Car Brochures
There's a lot of Detroit styling in 1950s and 1960s Opels.
It's Opel Week for me, and we're going to follow up the 1967 Kadett L Junkyard Treasure and 1969 Social Mini-Brute magazine ad with a selection of Opel television ads from Europe, North America and Japan.
The Kapitän goes way back, all the way to 1938 and continuing through 1970 (or 1978, if you count the Kapitän-based Admiral and Diplomat). Here's an entertaining animated German-market TV ad for the big, Detroit-inspired Opel luxury sedan of the early 1960s.
That ad doesn't show the car itself, so here's one showing the desire of a happy German family for the late-1950s Kapitän and Rekord.
The Kadett A revived the Kadett name after the cancellation of the model during World War II (though Kadett copies were built in the Soviet Union well into the 1950s). Here's a series of German TV advertisements for GM's Volkswagen Beetle competitor of the early 1960s.
By 1966, the Opel Rekord had become a Chevelle-influenced big seller. Here's a German ad showing a Rekord C being driven hard.
Everyone has seen the ad depicting a middle-aged Battle of Kursk vet who's too plump to fit in the tiny Opel GT, so we'll show this lesser-known GT ad that features the car tearing around a wet highway.
Opels were sold by Buick dealers in the United States, and the first-generation Manta was the German Mini-Camaro to the Opel GT's German Mini-Corvette. Here's a US-market ad for the 1973 Manta Luxus (the Luxus name sounded so cool that Buick ended up putting it on Detroit-built cars as well).
As the 1970s wore on, the mix-and-matching in the Opel/Vauxhall/Holden/Isuzu/Daewoo world reached bewildering levels, with Isuzu-powered Kadett Cs— you might know this car as the Daewoo Maepsy, or as the close cousin of the Chevy Chevette— sold as "Buick Opels" in the United States.
Disappointingly, the Manta B was not sold in North America, which means that we missed out on one of the greatest films ever made. Here's a German ad showing the Manta GT/E with a woman who starts out in a Teutonically scary science-fiction bondage outfit and then goes Manta road-tripping in ordinary tourist clothes. That's Manta life!
Remember the Saturn Astra? The Opel Astra was sold all over the world, including Japan (along with its distant GM relative, the Toyota Cavalier). Here's an ad for the JDM Astra wagon.
The Opel Corsa never has been sold in the United States, so we never saw the rage directed at the second-generation Corsa by jealous German supermodels with hair-mounted crystal boomerangs and/or squads of enforcers.
However, the Opel Omega was sold on this side of the Atlantic, as the Caddy That Zigged. Here's how GM pitched the Omega in its homeland: by bragging about an Omega torture test in Arizona.
Yes, Opels got OnStar, too.
1980: The new Datsun pickups will pick you up, literally
1974: Opel Manta, Sportwagon, 1900 set to take over America

Q: How to translate language packs in SocialEngine I know that SocialEngine stores language files as CSV files in application/languages. The common format in the CSV files is as follows:
"Source word"; "Translated word"

But, this sometimes gets very complicated, especially when special characters are used in some parts, e.g.:
"Total Credits : %s";"Total Credits : %s"
"_EMAIL_SITEGROUP_BADGEREQUEST_APPROVED_EMAIL_TITLE";"Group Badge Request Approved"
"Video conversion failed. Please try uploading %1$sagain%2$s.";"Video conversion failed. Please try uploading %1$sagain%2$s."

"3%s Level Category:";"3%s Level Category:"
"I have read and agree to the terms of service.";"I have read and agree to the terms of service."

A:
%s
  -this is variable, and this means vareables are few:
  %1$, %2$s
  and so on... any number in X:

This is the key (in your case):

'P-Valley' Season 2 Release Date Confirmed
Chelsea Stewart
It's been nearly a year since P-Valley was last on Starz, with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic causing the series to be delayed. But new episodes are coming.
Production on P-Valley Season 2 began earlier in 2021, with filming now underway in Atlanta. Although it still seems to be in the early stages, we at least have an idea of when to expect it. A new teaser for P-Valley Season 2 confirms it'll be out sometime in 2022.
P-Valley Season 1 2019 | Starz
'P-Valley' fans have questions that need answering
The first season of P-Valley concluded with the apparent death of Montavius. He was seemingly killed in a fight with Mercedes and Autumn after violently confronting Autumn about his missing money. It's unclear who pulled the trigger, but show creator Katori Hall told Entertainment Weekly that "the secret of what went down in the Paradise Room will bond Uncle Clifford, Mercedes, and Hailey forever."
"There is a pact that was made in that room," she explained to Thrillist. "Something happened in that room, a gun went off. We know who probably died, but we do not know who picked up that gun and shot the fatal shot."
Hall continued, "As we develop these characters even more, I think time will reveal what truly happened in the Paradise Room, but there's so many levels to what happened and what the cover up is, and who has been a part of the cover up. I'm just really excited to see how people react. Because that's going to be the big question: Who shot Montavius? Is Montavius dead?"
But there are also other questions, such as whether Mercedes will get her daughter back.
RELATED: 'P-Valley' Season 2: 5 Questions That Need to Be Answered When the Show Returns
'P-Valley' Season 2 will be even 'grimier' than before
Hall previously said the second season of P-Valley would likely air in 2022, but now we know for certain. A new teaser released on Friday, Aug. 20 confirms the show will be back that year, though an exact release date is not yet known.
The clip also featured interviews from some of the P-Valley cast, including Elarica Johnson (Autumn Night), Brandee Evans (Mercedes), Nicco Annan (Uncle Clifford), Shannon Thornton (Keyshawn), J. Alphonse Nicholson (Lil' Murda), and Parker Sawyers (Andre Watkins).
"In Season 2, I think this season has a different feel," Nicholson shared. "There are new stages, there are new sets that we haven't yet explored," Thornton teased. "Expect to see more things happening outside the club," Evans noted. "Expect things to get deeper, grimier, darker… there's a lot to sink your teeth into."

And it'll be 'worth the wait'
Although 2022 is still pretty far away, Evans promises the show will be worth the wait.
"I can tell you that it's going to be well worth the wait, and a lot of your questions will be answered," she told BlackFilmandTV.com in a joint interview with Annan. "And so it's a bigger rollercoaster ride to me. To me, it's more emotional, it's even more real, and I didn't even think that was possible. But just very much more relatable and real."
"I'm just thinking about some things, even from your character Nicco, that they're going to see this season," she said to Annan. "It's just going to be beautiful. Y'all, it is worth the wait, I'm telling you."
We'll see. Find the first season of P-Valley now on Starz.

Blac Chyna might wanna beeline it to the nearest maternity clothing store — her standard gear can only take so much.
Chyna and her giant baby bump were in L.A. Friday, taking it to the limit.
She's also still flaunting her huge engagement ring … one more reason to squash all the rumors about trouble with Rob Kardashian.


Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group plans to enter the U.S. market in 2019, the company said at the Detroit Auto Show Monday.
"We intend to gain a foothold in the U.S.," GAC Motors president Yu Jun said at a news conference. "If we can make it in the U.S., we can make it anywhere and enhance further possibilities of future growth."
It's not yet clear how GAC plans to enter the U.S. market. But according to reports, the company might could enter into a partnership with Italian-owned Fiat Chrysler.
"We will explore all sorts of channels including partnering with FCA, as well as others," Jun said, according to The New York Times.
And Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed his company and GAC have discussed the possibility.
"We are talking to them about how and if we can help if they come to the U.S.," Marchionne told reporters.
The two companies already have a partnership in China, where GAC produces FAC's Jeeps for the Chinese market.
If GAC does enter the U.S. market, the company plans to introduce Americans to its Enverge, an electricity-powered SUV.
"As a compact crossover, it fits perfect in the fastest growing car market. It is able to undertake various heavy duty off road tasks," said Zhang Fan, vice president of engineering for GAC Motors, according to the Detroit News.
GAC would also bring one of its most popular brands -- the Trumpchi -- to the U.S.
But because of the name's similarity to President Donald Trump, which is just a coincidence, the company will likely change the name for American buyers.


I love fly fishing gator blues. Wading early spring in the bay, when they are after spearing is like small tarpon fishing.
This is what I will use as an example for some bunker flies but with some variations to it.
The stuff I am using is tackey and I wipe it with alcohol which eliminates it on the hard UV, but the flex stays tackey. I also coat my hard UV with Hard As Nails. We used to also use it for head cement and coated our epoxy flies with it.
TGS in my other thread about tails I couldn't post a picture. I had to do a screen print and it wouldn't load in SOL. I am trying to make an articulated Beast fly with a tail like your bunker fly with the black tail. What did you use for the tail in that fly? I haven't seen really big bunker in my area in a long time. Our bunker are between 6" and 10" and that is how big I am going to build mine. Thanks Gil PS - I sent back the Plano and I don't think it work that well with these flies. I picked up the Walmart file crate that was in the Lordship video. I am going to make a crate like that. The Walmart crate was $6. The Staples crate I saw like the one he used was $48. I am going to Key West next week. When I get back I will build that crate, some Beast flies and post pictures here.
