She may be new to the spotlight, but Jess Glynne doesn't need anyone to hold her hand.
The 25-year-old singer smiled her way through an amazing performance Wednesday night at the Troubadour in Hollywood. The show was her last on her current tour to support debut album I Cry When I Laugh.
Below are Billboard's top five favorite moments from the show:
Jess Glynne
There wasn't a single song the audience wasn't loudly singing along to during Glynne's performance, but when it came to the belted note near the end of "Why Me," the audience grew quiet. Everyone in the room wanted to hear her effortless display of vocal control. Before she could even catch her breath, the audience was screaming at the top of their lungs.
Glynne paused before "Take Me Home" to let the audience know she was going to "take it down a notch for a little ballad." While the song was packed with a slower style and more soul, the air became electric. The disco ball was turned on and it became reminiscent of the last dance at prom as Glynne made everyone feel nostalgic for things they never even felt.

Glynne announced her Amy Winehouse cover to a burst of applause, saying, "I love her and I thought it was necessary." The backup vocalists and band snapped the beat as she performed a stripped-down version with just guitar. Her perfect homage to Winehouse was punctured only twice by her earnest and humble laughter.
While Glynne didn't perform Nelly's entire song, it still deserves to be in the top five moments. After previously calling out how hot it was in the venue, she paused before transitioning to her next song to do an impromptu snippet of the chorus. If that wasn't enough to excite the audience, Glynne jokingly unbuttoned her jacket with a small shimmy before giggling and putting it back on.
Just before she broke into the crowd favorite, Glynne thanked everyone and walked offstage. She was called back by an audience chanting her name in perfect unison. Glynne sauntered onstage with humble confidence before bringing the audience to the height of enthusiasm. She bent down to hold fans' hands and it almost seemed as if the place was going to burst.
Jess Glynne's Troubadour set list:
"Ain't Got Far To Go"
"Rather Be"
"Gave Me Something"
"Love Me, Love Me"
"No Rights, No Wrongs"
"Don't Be So Hard On Yourself"

BREAKING: Court Declares Hilton Hotel Manager, Adedoyin Wanted Over Murder Of OAU Student, Adegoke
Information reaching Naija News House says that Court Declares Hilton Hotel Manager, Adedoyin Wanted Over Murder Of OAU Student, Adegoke
Olugbade Adegoke, an elder brother to the murdered postgraduate student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Osun State, Timothy Adegoke, has shared court documents with SaharaReporters showing that the Manager of the Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Ile-Ife, Raheem Adedoyin, has been declared wanted.
Olugbade, speaking on Monday, insisted that his brother was strangled and also hit with a heavy object at the hotel where he lodged in November 2021.
Timothy, a Master of Business Administration student, died mysteriously in the hotel when he travelled to write his examinations.
The chairman of the hotel has been arrested and detained since the incident when Timothy's body was found near the hotel where he was allegedly dumped by the son of the hotel's owner who is also the Managing Director, Raheem Adegoke.
Hilton Hotel Manager
Reacting to Hamzat's statement, Olugbade spoke to SaharaReporters on Tuesday morning, stressing that the Abuja Police Command had declared other culprits in the case wanted.
"If people are doubting what Alhaji Oriyomi said in the video, let them go to Abuja to confirm from the police. Oriyomi has the genuine information about the death of my brother," Olugbade said.
"About the autopsy, we have copies. The report said that my brother, Timothy, was strangled to death in the hotel room. He was also hit on his head with a heavy object until he died.

"I think the police investigation is a step towards justice. The date of his burial will be communicated to the public as soon as possible, but we want to get the date for the court case as well.
"It was only (Rahman) Adedoyin Adegoke, the owner of the hotel that is in the custody of the police. They (police) are not giving him any bail. Other culprits have been declared wanted. There was a court order that declared Raheem wanted by the police, he is the managing director of the hotel who is also the son of the chairman who was also in the CCTV.
"The United States government has given him, Raheem Adedoyin 105 hours to report himself to the nearest police station," Olugbade said.
In the copy of the court order received by SaharaReporters, the document partly read that, "the court hereby allows the Complainant/Applicant to publish the name and his pictures photograph of the 8th Defendant/Respondent for the purpose of identifying and arresting him."

City Council took up the long in the tooth Lincoln Katy Trail project at Wednesday's evening meeting after failing City Plan Commission in November. In an attempt to sweeten the deal to an affordable housing-hungry city council, Lincoln raised their affordable component from five percent to 15 percent (from 15 to 45 units). And many council members, including Mayor Mike Rawlings took the bait.
Mayor Rawlings was so obviously hot to pass this project, he literally asked Oak Lawn District 14 Council Member Philip Kingston if he would support the deal if Lincoln purchased a home for a blind woman living in the complex referenced by Kingston. Others wanted to know what affordable percentage would cause Kingston to support the project.
The council couldn't (or wouldn't) figure out that the existing complex contains 115 market-rate affordable housing units. Raising the affordable housing giveback to 15 percent still leaves the neighborhood with 70 fewer affordable units. They also ignore the positive self-esteem of being able to rent or purchase a market rate affordable home versus having to qualify through an invasive application process to prove you're poor enough.
Last week, CandysDirt.com reported the unusual move by one Plan Commissioner to call for a re-vote on the contentious Lincoln Katy Trail project. We can now report the request was made by Christopher Lewis, newly appointed by District 8 Council Member Tennell Atkins. I noted at the time it was an unusual move for someone so new to the position. It also has the potential to set a very dangerous precedent for the City of Dallas.
The last (easily discovered) time reconsideration was used was back in 2013 when some wanted to frack in the Trinity River floodplain. The CPC said "no" but then CPC chair and fracking supporter Joe Alcantar asked for a reconsideration. Seems a game was afoot to game the system because of who was missing from the first vote and who would be missing from the second. You may recall the city manager and city attorney were fired during the scandal.
The reason for the re-vote was the same as Lincoln Katy Trail. A CPC loss translates into a 3/4 majority at City Council for passage.
Interestingly enough for history buffs, three council members wrote to Alcantar urging his to reconsider the re-vote. Scott Griggs, Sandy Greyson and … Angela Hunt, who now sits with Lincoln on the Lincoln Katy Trail case.
On Dec. 13, Lincoln Katy Trail will return to City Plan Commission to have its case reconsidered. "How'd that happen?" you ask? According to insiders, any commissioner who essentially wants to change their vote from the majority to the minority can ask for a case to be reheard.
I'm told that since November's twin Oak Lawn Committee and CPC losses, there's been no additional community outreach, no change in plans, and certainly no return to the Oak Lawn Committee – just a do-over because at least one Commissioner wants to switch sides.
Do I believe in a guilt-fueled epiphany? No. I believe in City Hall lobbying by Lincoln Property Company. Lincoln and their representative, former Dallas City Council member Angela Hunt, didn't stop knocking on doors after November's CPC defeat – and it seems one commissioner was swayed.
Lincoln Property's Lincoln Katy Trail project failed to gain support from City Plan Commission. However, mimicking the Oak Lawn Committee's own waffling, Plan Commission's vote was tighter than it might have been had the OLC been more crisp and decisive in its own votes on this project.
Several Plan Commissioners voiced concerns about the OLC's role in moving goal posts as Lincoln representative Angela Hunt claimed. One example given of "post moving" was the opposition's desire for the building to be split in three sections instead of the two they got. Several Plan Commissioners and Commission Chair Gloria Tarpley said this was the first time they'd heard about the three-building desire. However when Lincoln first showed the original building broken in two last month, I checked the tape from the July CPC meeting and Vine condo representative Amanda Popken listed a three-building split as one of the desires. So no post-moving on this issue.
Commissioner Margot Murphy expressed the sentiment that view corridors are not protected. While I'd agree with that for construction of by-right projects, I don't when view encroachment is the result of doubling the allowable zoning height. Zoning has to stand for something.
News comes to us that Lincoln Property's bid for Oak Lawn Committee (OLC) support for their revised plan has failed. You may recall the Lincoln Katy Trail project was essentially told last month by enough Plan Commissioners return to the OLC before returning to the City Plan Commission (CPC). Sources tell me that the OLC vote was five short. This is a backwards slide for the project, which had previously enjoyed the support of the long-standing neighborhood group by a single vote.
So far, Lincoln is due to return to Plan Commission tomorrow to pitch this revised plan. I'm hearing that this is still the plan even without OLC support. It will be very interesting to see how CPC plays this. As I've written, it's been decades since a plan unsupported by the OLC has succeeded in passing CPC – and that plan (for Victory Park) required mayoral intervention – something I don't see happening here.
Should CPC pass this plan, it severely hurts OLC and disempowers a neighborhood comprising Oak Lawn, Uptown, West Village, and Knox. I can't believe the city would do this. It would encourage developers to do less for the neighborhood, banking on CPC overturning any OLC denial of support.
Tuesday night's Oak Lawn Committee meeting was chockablock with five projects. The first peek will be of the proposed Central Market in the perennial unsuccessful supermarket location on McKinney between the Lemmon split. You may recall it as Albertsons or more recently Minyards. At first glance, this is pretty spanky and cool, but the devil is in the details.
It's proposed to be a whopping big development. There would be a five-level podium covering 95 percent of the parcel that balances two 360' towers on opposing corners. The larger of the two towers would be a 21-story office building while the other would be an as yet unspecified mix of office, hotel and/or multi-family.

Senior Victoria Cops Said Pell Investigation Could Distract From Major Police Scandal
December 14, 2019 December 14, 2019 CNA 0 Comments
By CNA
By Ed Condon
Senior police officials in the Australian state of Victoria discussed by email the way that their 2014 investigation into Cardinal George Pell could deflect public scrutiny from an emerging corruption scandal in the force.
In a 2014 email exchange, then-Deputy Commissioner Graham Ashton and Charlie Morton, assistant director of media and corporate communications for the Victoria police department, discussed how to respond to a high-profile scandal which would hamper the credibility of Victoria police operations.
In an email dated April 1, 2014, Morton advised Ashton not to make a media appearance in response to the "Lawyer X" scandal, because forthcoming announcements about Cardinal Pell could distract media and public attention.
"The Pell stuff is coming tomorrow and will knock this way off the front page," Morton wrote to Ashton.
"Unless there are some serious appeals from convicted [criminals] which might get up as a result of this, then I can't see this continuing with the same level of profile."
The emails emerged this week as Ashton, now Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, gave evidence at a Royal Commission inquiry into the use of police sources and the Lawyer X scandal, in which criminal defense lawyer Nicola Gobbo was recruited to work as an informant against members of the Calabrian mafia, while she was representing several of them as an attorney.
Gobbo has claimed that her work as an informant for Victoria police from 1995-2009, despite issues of professional ethics and client confidentiality, led to 386 convictions, many of which are now believed to be tainted, subject to appeal, and could be overturned.
The email exchange between Ashton and Morton came after a news radio host in Melbourne referred on air to the about-to-break story as one of the "biggest law and order scandals in [Victoria state] history" and predicting it could result in "killers walking free."
A subsequent High Court injunction prevented publication of Gobbo's name, or any media reporting of the case from 2014, part of a years'-long, $4.5 million legal effort by Victoria police to keep details of the case from becoming public.
The reference to news about Pell being used to deflect negative coverage came just two months after Pope Francis had appointed Pell to reform Vatican financial affairs, placing him in charge of the newly-created Prefecture for the Economy in February, 2014.
It is not clear what information the two police officials were anticipating would be released the next day, though the previous week Pell had given evidence before the Royal Commission investigation into child sexual abuse in Church institutions.
In 2013, Victoria Police opened Operation Tethering, an open-ended investigation into possible crimes by Cardinal Pell, although no victims had come forward against him and there had been no criminal complaints made against him at the time. Although they had found no victims or criminal accusations, in 2015 the program was expanded and put on a more formal footing.
In 2017, Pell was charged with sexually abusing two minors. He was convicted in 2018 on the evidence of a single victim-accuser, the second supposed victim died of a heroin overdose on Aril 8, 2014 – one week after the Victoria police email exchange. That second victim had denied on several occasions that he was sexually abused by Pell.
The cardinal's conviction was upheld on appeal by the Victoria Supreme Court in August. The Australian High Court will hear Pell's appeal of that decision in 2020.
Since the court gag order was lifted in 2019, the Lawyer X scandal has tainted successive chiefs of the Victoria police force, all of whom were aware of Gobbo's role a mob informer and practicing criminal lawyer.
Much of Gobbo's work as a lawyer was with Australian members of the Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia organization, which has established a deep presence both in Victoria and across the country, with allegations of multi-million dollar bribes to judges and close connections to local Victorian politicians in both political parties.
The link between the Italian and Australian branches of the organization is known to be close and ongoing.
The Lawyer X scandal has tainted several former heads of the Victoria police, all of whom were aware of Gobbo's role and allowed it to continue. Ashton was first told of her work in 2007 when he was serving as assistant director of the Office of Police Integrity, an anti-corruption body.
Ashton told the Royal Commission on Tuesday that he saw no reason to suspect "anything untoward was going on" when he learned the lawyer was acting as a police informant against her own clients.
Gobbo, who is the niece of a former Victoria Supreme Court judge, has since said she fears retribution by police because of the scandal, refusing to go into witness protection and claiming police have threatened to take her children into protective custody to compel her cooperation.
Earlier this week, she told Australian media that "It's not the first time that they [Victoria Police] threatened me in relation to toeing the line and doing things their way or they would take my children."
The Victoria police force has been the subject of numerous scandals over the years. In addition to the allegations concerning Gobbo, a 2017 report found that nearly half (46%) of Victoria Police employees believe they would suffer personal repercussions if they reported corruption, with almost one in five saying it would cost them their job.

Lt General Madhuri Kanitkar: Woman Of Mettle
by Radhika Sathe Patwardhan | Jan 13, 2018, 0:00 IST
When it comes to qualifications, few have these many. VSM, MBBS, MD (Paediatrics), DNB (Paediatrics), Fellowship Paediatric Nephrology, FIAP, Fellow FAIMER. Lieutenant General Madhuri Kanitkar has achieved what few have been able to. She stands tall in a field that is male-dominated and has definitely made her mark.
On 29 February 2020, she went on to become the third Indian woman to occupy the rank of Lieutenant General of Indian Army. The post of Lt. General is considered to the second-highest post in the Armed forces. She is also the first woman paediatrician to record this feat. Incidentally, Kanitkar's husband Rajeev Kanitkar is also a Lt. General. This is the first time in the history of the Indian armed forces that a couple hold the 3-star rank of Lieutenant General. He retired from the Army recently.
Seeing her accomplishments, one figures that she might have decided to join the army much earlier in life. She laughs, "No. I was studying at Fergusson College as a 12th standard student and I planned to do medicine. I had friends in NDA and I used to see that there is something different and smart about them. And I had a roommate who was from an air force background. So, she was keen to join AFMC (Armed Forces Medical College, Pune) and that was the first time I heard about it. So, I came with her (to the college) and saw a distinct difference and the neatness, cleanliness, discipline somehow really impressed me."
Early beginnings
Getting into AFMC isn't a cakewalk. But if you have the merit and the marks, you can get in. Did she have family support? "Honestly, I didn't even tell my parents that I'm joining AFMC. I wrote my father a letter after getting selected and joining the college." Things didn't go her way and she had to join BJ Medical College in Pune instead. But her heart was with AFMC. She was keen on going back as firstly, it "was the armed forces, and secondly, I met my future husband (there)." After a huge tantrum at home, "my dad let me come back to AFMC with the condition that when I pass out, he will not pay my bond money and I must join the armed forces." And the rest is history.
At AFMC, she underwent her medical training where she got to "to enjoy becoming a good doctor". Then, came the military training in Lucknow. "From early morning, we were made to do what we call the Battle Physical Efficiency Test (BPET), where you're supposed to run five kilometres and do rope climbing, jump a ditch, etc. That was great fun and it was the first time we got to train on weapons, firing, marching and other such things. It was exciting."
One lady, many facets
You won't find many women officers at high ranks in the army though. "20 girls passed out and went for an internship. Post this, some left for marriage. Another half of them left after five years of commission and finally for what we call a permanent commission, we were just six to seven of us who remained. Of all of them, today I am the only one who has remained (in the army)!" Why didn't more women stay back in the army? "I think the majority of my fellow women batch-mates left because at that point they didn't have such a woman-friendly policy like posting the spouses together. I think that is a very tough call for a lady to take. Besides, you have to move every two years and then you have to do night duties and you have children to bring up. So balancing all that gets difficult! So, I think that maybe one of the major reasons that women did leave. But things have changed now. They are helping much more. By and large, spouse co-location has become a norm."
Despite having traversed through it and come out successfully, the journey hasn't been easy. "Ours was the first batch to be commissioned out, even before the internship. I was posted in the outskirts of Jodhpur in Rajasthan for my first commission. We had a field ambulance and not a hospital as such. The officers stay in a long barrack called bashas with temporary roofs as it was a mobile temporary unit." The officers in the division posted there, including the General Officer Commanding were first amused that a woman was posted, and felt that a lady shouldn't have to stay in these barracks. They asked her to stay in the main headquarters of the area in Jodhpur. But, she didn't agree. "I said if I am posted here, I'm going to stay with them. If tomorrow there's a war, I'm going to go out with them." In the army, "your whole training and grooming are to be an officer aka a gentleman, and a lady wife is a lady wife. So, having an officer who is a lady is something which the armed forces was not used to at that time. So, everyone took a little time to adjust especially in the field." It took some time but "after some time they stopped thinking of me as a woman, then they looked at me as an officer."
Since then she was posted all across the country, "Assam, Guwahati, Arunachal, right up to Bumla, Sela, Tenga; from the south (India) to the north. It was either my own posting that I went to different places for, or to where my husband was posted where I visited during holidays." She successfully completed each commission, even while raising two children, Nikhil and Vibhuti. The family, though, did not get to stay in one place for much time, "in the 35 years of marriage, we have been posted together only 12 years!" But, she had the support of her parents, in-laws and family. "I think most importantly both my kids understood and accepted that dad's not there and mom's busy. There were times when they made me feel guilty; then I used to openly ask 'do you want me to quit and sit at home'. They would say 'No! Don't do that. Full-time mom nahi chahiye!'" she laughs.
Leading from the front
On the professional front, she is the first trained paediatric nephrologist of the arm forces and has single-handed setup units to monitor kidney ailments in Pune and Delhi. This too she did despite the odds. She did not get initial support to super-specialise in the subject, "I used my own earned leave and short fellowships, to work at centres like All India Institute of Medical Sciences. The determination that I was spending all my leave to train and that is helping take care of patients gave me the strength to not give up. Finally, I was given study leave and that's how I did my initial training. I realised that we don't have ambulatory dialysis for children in India. I found that a course in Singapore had it. So, I went and spent four months there and trained. I then got a scholarship from the Royal College, UK." She trained in London in urinary bladder dysfunctions. Her self-study through the years helped her set up the centres in the armed forces. "After that, it was easier," as there was a visible difference in patient care. This led to the course being taught in AFMC, Pune. Today, "five of my students are now trained in paediatric nephrology."
Training the new generation
Now, back as the Dean to her alma mater, and the first woman Dean to take the reins, she has ensured that the strong history of the college continues and achieves newer and better milestones. "The college as far as training and academic is really one of the top colleges in the country, but where I think we need to advance the training is in the field of research. The higher authorities have been very kind to accept our proposal of setting up a separate research unit at AFMC dedicated to inculcating research into the minds of youngsters. You can't start at an old age to begin to think innovatively. Secondly, I have set up a very strong counsellor cell at AFMC called Umang. They have now started doing very well. We had this council of psychologists but now I have created a very student-friendly facilitating and workshops for them for de-stressing. Another venture we are trying to start is an in-house crèche. This was something I myself found really difficult bringing up the children. I feel that more young ladies need this kind of setup so we are trying to set up a crèche in the college campus. We are also looking to strike that balance between training, academics and extra-curricular." AFMC has a host of extra-curricular activities like sports, arts and crafts, and a plethora of options in each. They also have a scientific festival called Illuminati which is like a marathon race of innovation. "I am giving back to the students of this college, what I got to experience as a student here."
Talking of what future holds for her, in five years' time, she shares, "I'll most probably be retired, so I'd like to spend, devote more time to giving back to society. I am currently giving 80% of my time to the profession, and 20% to the other things. Post-retirement, I will reverse it; though I can't just be sitting idle. I think I'll distribute my time with 20% for the profession, of it 10% to education and 10% for patients, and 80% for relaxing, taking up hobbies, and spending time with family."
Her clarity of thought and determination shines throughout her journey and her future vision. Being one of the very few, if not the only, to have achieved what she has, she is an inspiration to many young ladies.

However, there are two factors in the above assumption that are glaringly incorrect. The first factor is deceitful and the second is oppressive.
Merely placing a jurisdiction on a blacklist of some sort, succeeds in suggesting that the organisation that is providing the oversight is announcing to the criticised jurisdictions that they are abusing the system and "had better jolly well pull up their socks." This plays well to the general public, but the message, in almost every case, is a false one.
The OECD countries are all countries that tax their populations heavily and have, for decades, recognised that if their citizens have the freedom to move their wealth to a country that taxes them less, the home country will be limited in the amount of legalised theft they can exact upon their citizens. Since they cannot convince their citizens that paying more tax is actually in their best interest, they must either vilify the low-tax jurisdictions (through false accusations of money laundering, fraud, human rights violations, etc.) and/or bully the (invariably smaller and less-powerful) low-tax jurisdictions into compliance with "standards" which, often, they do not comply with themselves.
But in addition to this objective, the OECD intends to go further over time. They are working to create a mindset amongst their own populations that unequal taxation is a social evil—that it is not simply the free choice of independent, competing jurisdictions to decide whether to provide greater freedom to their people than an OECD jurisdiction. In doing so, they hope to equalise taxation worldwide, so that their own people will no longer seek to escape financial oppression in their home countries.
This is tricky, as the OECD member-countries vary dramatically amongst themselves as to their own taxation levels. However, they have no interest in reining each other in. Their collective targets are the low-tax and no-tax jurisdictions that make the OECD members look like robber-barons by comparison.
This is a game that will be playing out for decades, if not longer. In the meantime, the mere knowledge that organisations like the OECD were created not for "Economic Cooperation and Development," but for oppression, arms the reader with the understanding that any member of the OECD is, by definition, not acting in his interests. If he is seeking an economic friend in this world, he might look more closely to those who are receiving all the criticism.

White Paper: Storytelling and Global Futures – with Qaisra Shahraz, Graham Mort and Emily Spiers
By ISF on	 January 19, 2018
The Global Futures events aim to integrate students, academics and the local community for engaging interdisciplinary discussions on big global challenges. The most recent event in this white paper series was the first of its kind, as the speakers addressed global futures through their backgrounds in literature and the arts. Qaisra Shahraz, Graham Mort and Emily Spiers shared their unique perspective and provoked an enlightening and wide ranging discussion on the importance of storytelling in global futures.
By Kate Fearnyough
First, we heard from Qaisra Shahraz; a critically acclaimed novelist and scriptwriter recognised as number one of the fifty most influential women in Manchester. Qaisra described how her fiction writing began at the young age of 26, with her novels set in rural Pakistan focussing on multiple identities, cultural clashes and 'other worlds' as a Pakistani writer in Britain. After the events of September 11th 2001, Qaisra's life as a Muslim living in Britain was affected significantly. She struggled for three years to cope with the rise of hatred and Islamophobia, but was then encouraged by friends to use her position as an established writer as a platform to change perceptions.
This change marked a shift in Qaisra's identity from a 'writer' to a 'Muslim writer'. When her short story A Pair of Jeans was taught as part of the German 'Abitur' exam after being selected by Dr Liesl Hermes, she used her subsequent talks across German schools to talk about her stories in a proactive way. Through discussing her literature and its overarching themes, Qaisra aimed to build cultural bridges and challenge stereotyping and hatred towards Muslims, highlighting that no faith teaches violence and it is the ideology of a small group of people that have 'hijacked' her faith as extremists.
Qaisra emphasised how all of us read and understand literary works through our own cultural framework and norms, making individual interpretations as we read. She highlighted the importance of 'getting out of our boxes' by learning and respecting cultures different from our own, reflecting on two examples of her own experiences spending time with an Incan community and a visit to a Sikh Gurdwara. Through her literature and other work, such as the Muslim Arts and Culture Festival in Manchester, Qaisra aims to promote better relationships between people of different faiths and of none, to hold intercultural dialogue and to encourage integration rather than assimilation. Using her peace banners 'We Stand Together' and 'Spread Hummus Not Hate' she stresses that everyone is different, but that these differences should be embraced and celebrated, rather than dismissing another world because it is different from our own.
Next Graham Mort, Professor of Creative Writing and Transcultural Literature at Lancaster University, spoke about a project with his previous PhD student Muli Amaye to recoup the stories of Kurdish women who had lived through the Al Anfal genocide in the late 20th century. Graham described how Kurdish nation building since this event has celebrated the role of women as fighters and a force of resistance against the Iraqis, but that Muli Amaye was interested in the narrative of survival from the women who weren't fighting. Together they developed a research project which started as an ethnographic study, by training Kurdish speaking researchers to conduct semi-structured interviews with women who had lived through the Al Anfal genocide.
Whilst conducting the research, Graham identified a strong intergenerational dynamic. The women that had lived through the genocide felt repressed in the sense that their own families weren't aware of the stories they had to tell, as at the time of the research young Kurdish people were living in a comparatively prosperous society. Girls had access to education and income from oil revenues was allowing the country to develop; the women felt that their stories could be lost to future generations. However, by the end of the two years of research this growing prosperity was arrested dramatically as the region was alienated from the Iraqi administration in Baghdad, who cut off funding and triggered an alarming regression to previous conditions. Furthermore, the encroachment of ISIS on the outskirts of Erbil caused serious concern that the women would be endangered due to their exposure through the project. Despite this, each woman insisted on their story being told.
The women's stories were disseminated through the Lancaster University Centre for Transcultural Writing and Research website, with the stories published in both Kurdish and English after a lengthy translation process. Patterns existed in the narratives, with women recounting unsentimentally day-to-day memories from their difficult early lives as subsistence farmers, before inevitably discussing the genocide which transformed their future into something they had never imagined. Graham explained how he took the experience further than simply publishing the stories as an ethnographic dataset; as a creative writer he wrote twenty sonnets interrogating what he describes as a transformative experience as westerners working in a cross-cultural environment.
With all these stories as 'data', the team looked for a way to compress the stories, and decided to build a performance piece. They came together in Bergerac, France, with a Stanley knife and some coloured pens to begin the process of identifying narrative patterns and thematic links through a close reading of all stories, ultimately reconstituting them into a performance poem with hardly a word changed from the stories themselves. The poem was performed at an academic conference in South Africa with African actresses; five women who would cross-cut and interrupt each other as if they were talking. By engaging with the women's memories, displaced futures and cultural history the poem was used as an incredibly effective means of communicating research data through performance.
Finally, Emily Spiers, lecturer in Creative Futures at Lancaster University, offered a completely different angle on the topic of storytelling and global futures; discussing how we as humans engage with stories from a neurological perspective. Stories are fundamental to the human brain's understanding of ourselves, the world around us and other people, and narrative is the basic organising principle of memory. Emily explained how the brain remembers pictures first, then emotional context, then language – demonstrating it is not information that makes things memorable, and the wide availability of facts makes each one less valuable. In contrast, when the brain detects an emotionally charged event, dopamine is released into the system which aids memory and information processing; meaning that as researcher Daniel Pink stated; "stories are easier to remember because they are how we remember". The brain responds to storytelling not only by comprehending and processing language, but by activating areas that correspond to actions that are being recounted in the narrative, for example processing sounds, scents, movement, colours and shapes. Furthermore, the cognitive function of mirroring means that the brain activity of people who are telling and listening to a story synchronises as they experience the story together. This, combined with neural coupling, which allows the listener to interpret the story through their own ideas and experiences, means that stories enable an empathic relationship with the differences we encounter through the narrative.
The research of Paul Zak, a neuroeconomist, uncovered the chemical basis for this empathic relationship to the difference we may encounter in stories. Oxytocin is the neurochemical responsible for empathy and narrative transportation – being transported into someone else's consciousness/experience when listening to a story. Zak dubbed oxytocin the 'moral molecule' after his experiments demonstrated that when the brain synthesises this chemical people are more trustworthy, generous, charitable and compassionate. Emily stressed, however, that it would be naïve to generalise about the universal morality of stories and engagement with fiction. Stories don't exclusively foster ethical action and empathic identification in the face of difference; conversely ideologically driven social narratives can stimulate fear, revulsion and hatred.
Emily's own research aims to harness the power of storytelling by devising positive future realities that work with empathy rather than fear. She believes storytelling could be a useful way to communicate complex scientific research that shows the need to make substantive changes in behaviour. Emily touched on a common theme of the Global Futures lectures, climate change, as an example of a global challenge that, despite overwhelming evidence, has not triggered required changes in human behaviour to combat the dangers it presents. She suggested that if the potential transformative power of storytelling were taken seriously, with new and innovative ways involving a variety of stakeholders, change could perhaps be affected where it is desperately needed.
Question and Answer Session:
These varied and insightful talks provoked extensive discussion on various topics. A brief summary of some of the questions asked is presented here.
As a group of people at the university are stories being written, or are you commissioning people to write stories, especially for children?
Emily recounted how a recent visit to a bookshop gave her a palpable sense that children's stories with important narratives are out there. In her own work, she is not just thinking about how a story can be entertaining, relaxing and potentially transformative in introducing gradual shifts in perspective in broader society, but instead how storytelling could be used proactively. She wants to investigate if storytelling could be a useful tool in sectors such as business, government and education to address challenging topics in specific areas.
Going back to the issue of climate change, how would you use stories to transform behaviour?
Emily discussed holding storytelling workshops with different stakeholders, for example consumers, policy makers, businesspeople, transport workers and farmers. She is interested in how the process of collaborative development of a story with groups of different stakeholders, that are non-writers, might change the way that we think about the problem.
For Graham as a creative writer, the idea of engineering stories alarmed him. He argued that good stories are those with contradictions that run against the grain of what people are supposed to think. He highlighted his doubts about instilling an orthodoxy or agenda in storytelling and shaping stories to mean a certain thing.
I believe there was a tension at the heart of all of your talks between the individual and society, powerless and powerful, and whose voices we are talking about when we discuss about voices and narrative. Do you think stories can be socially transformative without power as a concept or is it at the heart of answering global questions?
Graham believed that power goes to the heart of the whole process. The women that he worked with felt that their silence was akin to a symbolic disabling of their agency, and when they heard other people telling their stories everything picked up momentum. Graham spoke about how to narrate is, in a sense, to be fully alive, and to deny that ability, capacity or legitimacy is a deeply oppressive act.
Qaisra discussed how her power as an established novelist and scriptwriter is essential to allow her to get her message out to the masses, and to raise awareness of the issues she is feels passionately about to try and affect change.
What do we lose or gain through the translation process?
Qaisra talked about the issues she has had with translating her novels into different languages, and emphasised that when works are translated the full picture cannot be captured in exactly the same way.
Graham discussed that when reading the poem he produced from the Kurdish women's stories it is clear that the poem originated in a language other than English due to cultural signifiers in the text. He described how it was a painstaking and problematic task to get the poem to work in English, but that the process itself forged a transcultural connection with the people they were working with and took them deeper into the narratives. A translation has its own vitality and life with echoes of the original, and the accuracy of the translation of specific words doesn't worry Graham as much as the veracity of the emotions conveyed by the women.
Do you have any reflections on how to get stories out of people from a journalism perspective, without 'putting your box' on other people's stories?
Graham advised starting on a tangent, using an example of interviewing farmers about the foot-and-mouth outbreak; a very sensitive and distressing issue which could be difficult to talk about. Instead of directly asking them about foot-and-mouth, Graham asked the farmers how they came into the land, and in the course of that narrative every farmer ended up bringing up foot-and-mouth. By asking a broad question you learn a lot about people's culture and values and what really matters to them.

Q: Jenkinsfile - Build Agents questions I have following questions about Jenkins build agents:

*

*Question 1: agent any means that "Execute the Pipeline, or stage, on any available agent" - how to check what are list of available agents and what are their capabilities (e.g. one agent can build maven, another not...)?

*Question 2: agent { label 'docker' } means that I will use agent called "docker" - how to find out is that agent actually exists? Where to find it?

Thanks for help :)

A: Jenkins allows you to have multiple agents (nodes or slaves) but when you install jenkins the only agent configured is the master.
It is quite simple to configure new nodes, please refer to one of these guides:

*

*https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Step+by+step+guide+to+set+up+master+and+slave+machines+on+Windows

*https://www.packtpub.com/mapt/book/application_development/9781783553471/7/ch07lvl1sec47/managing-jenkins-master-and-slave-nodes

*http://www.donaldsimpson.co.uk/2011/10/06/jenkins-slave-nodes/
When you are setting up a new node you can assign labels to it so that you can then use to perform specific tasks on that node from a pipeline, for example.
So answering your questions:

*

*This setting can be done using labels.
Example:
All nodes with maven have a label, eg "maven".
Then running something like agent { label 'maven' } will only execute in one of this nodes.

*You can list all available nodes and check the configurations for each one in Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes.

Imagine a summer that could change cities, countries and continents around the globe while also forever transforming your life—a summer that propels you into a deeper walk with God and gives you greater confidence in making Him known, a summer that develops your leadership skills and begins friendships you'll take with you throughout your life.
For more than a decade, thousands of students have taken advantage of Summer Project trips with Student Life.
We know you are ready and able to change the world. You might not feel ready, but we've designed our Summer Projects with you in mind.
Let's go and make disciples of all the nations.
Halfway around the world this summer, you reach out to shake hands, but the person you met two hours ago gives you a hug. Despite being from different cultures, different backgrounds and different countries, you make a meaningful connection because you're talking about deeper things—like God and the Gospel.
At many Summer Project locations time is packed with personal mentoring, training in evangelism and discipleship, digging into God's word and diving into God's mission.
I stumbled across your website after searching for a summer bible study/mission trip.
I am at a point in my life where i'm realising that living for oneself does not bring much happiness or fulfulment! I would love to be able to study the word of God in order to learn the purpose and plan that He has for our people.
I am wanting to find out if there are any summer projects that have any positions available for a keen learner, or if not if you know of any other organisations that would be doing projects/missions over summer.

Nunavut figure skaters get boost from other AWG teams
by NNSL March 21, 2018
The spirit of sportsmanship that embodies the Arctic Winter Games will be on full display Thursday as six delegations compete under one flag.
It looked like Nunavut's figure skaters would be unable to compete in Thursday's team event until each of the five other delegations offered an athlete to complete the eight-person roster. From left, Victoria Hann, Talia Armstrong, Penelope Armstrong and Cassidy Devereaux.

On their flight to the Arctic Winter Games from Iqaluit, Nunavut's three figure skaters were lamenting the fact that they would be unable to compete in the team event because it requires eight members to perform separate elements.
Their fortunes changed at the first coach's meeting ahead of the Games, when it was decided that one skater from each the five other teams would perform alongside the Nunavut athletes.
Cheryl Jobson, coach for Team Alberta North, said the decision was made unanimously without any hesitation.
"This is a world-class event. Everybody is working very hard to get here and deserves a chance to participate," she said. "Truly everyone was on board. It was really nice to see. I think there was even a few tears."
When Nunavut coach Victoria Hann returned from the meeting to tell the girls the news they were ecstatic.
"They were jumping and screaming," she said. "They're super excited."
Nunavut's Penelope Armstrong, who is participating in her first Games, said she is nervous about competing with unfamiliar faces but that she was looking forward to the experience.
"I was really happy and really thankful," said Armstrong.
Nunavut's figure skating team is relatively new. The territory didn't have a team until Hann was brought on to start a skating club in Iqaluit eight years ago.
The team first competed in the Arctic Winter Games in Alaska six years ago but they didn't send anyone to Nuuk, Greenland in 2016.
"Back in Alaska we only had two skaters but now we have three, so we're growing," said Hann.
