Patriots Player Quotes - 7/28/2011
LB JEROD MAYO
(On how the new rules regarding double sessions change how the players get in shape)
"Coach Belichick will find a way to get us in shape and get us ready to go for four quarters, so that's what we'll do."
(On his feelings on the rule banning two-a-days)
"To be honest - whatever the rules are, they are and I'm willing to do it any way - two-a-days, three-a-days, whatever."
(On how the presence of Vince Wilfork helps him do his job)
"It helps a lot. A lot of people see how big he is, the double teams that he takes and things like that, but people don't really know that he's a smart guy, a smart player. He makes some of the adjustments and helps me out a lot on the field. He's a good player."
(On how he feels about the defense this year)
"We were pretty young last year, so having guys here learning things [was constructive], even though it was an awkward year. But, these guys came back in shape and we're ready to go."
(On how critical the jump from year one to year two was for him)
"It was very critical. At the same time, I had some veteran leaders around me that helped me, took me under their wing that first and second year. It really helped me out a lot."
(On how important the veteran players are given the shortened offseason)
"Everyone is in the same boat. We're all starting from scratch. It's not like we had the passing camps and things like that, so we all have a lot of learning to do."
(On fan excitement for the return of football)
"They're very excited. We're excited to see them out here as well, so it's a good day."
CB DEVIN MCCOURTY
(On if there is a sense of urgency or rushing)
"Not rushing, but I think in this game of football that there is always a sense of urgency. You're preparing for an opponent. You can't control what your opponent does. You can only worry about yourself. There's always a sense of urgency of how much better you can get each day."
(On how the Patriots locker room welcomes new players with different personalities)
"I'm not sure because I wasn't here when those guys came, but I know myself as a rookie coming in that I got a lot of help from veterans, just telling me where to be and how to become a pro. I can't say anything bad about the way I came into this locker room and learned to become a pro."
(On the challenge to coming into the Patriots' culture from the outside)
"I think it's a challenge anytime you go to a new team or coming in as a rookie, you have to learn new things. You have to learn the way the organization works. Anytime you have to learn something new, there's always some challenges."
(On how different the physical part of the game is at this level)
"People are moving faster. Guys are bigger and stronger. They have more knowledge of the game. When you become a pro, you have to do a lot more to your body and step up your level because everyone is better."
(On preventing injuries at the start of camp)
"We listen to our coaches. I think our training staff and coaches have mapped out a plan for us and as players, our job is to come out here and play and do what they ask of us."
(On the excitement level)
"I know for me, being here for my second training camp, just to be back and get in here, it's kind of the same feeling of that first year: happy to be back, happy to be playing."
DL VINCE WILFORK
(On putting the team first)
"It's always the team first. That's the Patriot way. If you can't put the team first, then you won't be here. That's the motto that we live by. We really don't care too much about the individual [accomplishments] because we want to win. It's not an individual sport where you go out on the track and run 100 yards or a 200-yard dash and win a medal. To win in this, it takes a team effort. The quicker we understand that, the quicker we can get things rolling."
(On how much he pays attention to the personnel moves of other teams)
"I don't pay attention at all because whenever we play, whoever we play, it doesn't matter who is on that [other] sideline or who is on that field. The game is always won between the lines, so I care less who I play against. I just try to prepare well and put it out there on the field. That's one of the main things that we have to [do], get this playbook down, and every day is going to be a challenge. It's going to challenge us, but I think with commitment we'll be ok."
(On this offseason)
"Like I said, all of that doesn't matter. We've been away for a long time and whatever you've got, you've got to give it to us. That's where we're all at. All that's in the past and everything is over. It's football. Everyone wanted football. Well, it's here. How quick we can learn [is] how quick we can get better as a team. Make progress every day - that's our goal."
(On what he expects from Bill Belichick)
"I don't know. Whatever he has for us, I'm pretty sure it's something we need."
(On his role as a leader in welcoming new players to the team)
"I think everyone in that locker room [does that]. It's just the type of people we have. If you're here, we'll welcome you with open arms because we always want to be on the same page. No matter how you slice it, when you step on this field, you have to be on the same page. That's where mistakes happen. So whoever steps in that locker room, we're going to make sure we cover everything we can in that team room and in meeting rooms and one-on-one time to put it on this field in practice and a game. But that's being a professional. We're very competitive. There're 32 teams out there and every one of them is competitive. I just believe that it's going to be very competitive at this camp. Like I said, it's going to be different, but you know what? The ball is rolling so we have to continue to roll it and hopefully we can get this thing started the right way."

South Africa To Close All Land Borders Until Mid-Feb
Topline: In yet another "family meeting", South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Monday evening that the country would stay on alert level 3. In addition to regulations put in place, the South African government has chosen to close all 20 land ports of entry.
Key Facts.
Land ports of entry will be closed until February, 15 for general entry and departure. These will include the six busiest border posts; Beitbridge, Lebombo, Maseru Bridge, Oshoek, Ficksburg, and Kopfontein.
This decision has been made as a way to reduce congestion and the high risk of transmission as South Africa has reported nearly 190, 000 Covid-19 cases since the start of 2021. The country has also recorded more than 4,600 Covid-related deaths so far this year.
Alcohol sales are still not permitted, however, curfew times have changed slightly from 9 pm to 6 am to 9 pm to 5 am.
The Government Vaccine Strategy
Part of South Africa's strategy is to identify priority groups that need to be vaccinated as the country receives them throughout the year. This will be done in phases.
Phase 1- the first batch of vaccines will be prioritized around 1.2 million front line health workers.
Phase 2- When more vaccines arrive, South Africa will prioritize essential workers such as teachers, police, municipal workers, and other frontline personnel. People in institutions like old age homes, shelters, and prisons, people over 60 years of age, and adults with co-morbidities will also be prioritized in this phase. The country plans to reach 16 million people at this stage.
Phase 3– With increased manufacturer supplies, the country will then vaccinate the remaining adult population of approximately 22.5 million people.
Crucial Quote
"But, if we are to realize our aspirations for the year, we must unite to overcome the grave, persistent, and deepening coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic in our country is now at its most devastating," Ramaphosa said during the live broadcast. "The number of new infections, hospital admissions, and deaths is higher now than it has ever been since the first case was recorded in our country in March 2020."

An anonymous call led Tamaulipas police to obtain a search warrant and raid a home being used as a stash house by the Gulf Cartel.
Police discovered a hidden door behind two washing machines that could only be opened through an electronic control which activated the false floor.
The faction of the Gulf Cartel which operates in Matamoros is fighting with another in the border city of Reynosa over territorial control. The fighting has led to more than 500 murders in Reynosa alone.

ROBERT PILTER,
PRINTER, NEEDLESS ALLEY, BIRMINGHAM.
CONSIDERING the productions that are continually issuing from the British press, it is very surprising that between six and seven years should have been allowed to pass away without any particular call either from his brethren, the Wesleyan Ministers, or his lay friends of that community, for a new and complete edition of the Rev. Daniel Isaac's Works. Had he been a man of but ordinary talents, or one whose talents were but little known; or had the productions of his pen been of a light and ephemeral character, or of so abstruse and mystical a nature, as to require more labour in fathoming them, than the profit of their perusal would repay; or had they at the time of their publication been looked upon as obtrusive and inutile ; then there had been a sufficient and very proper reason for the silence of the Wesleyans and others respecting these works. But that the writings of Daniel Isaac should have been consigned either to
total or comparative neglect; a man whose works, though seldom polished, and sometimes coarse, are always sensible, generally sound, pointed, original, and weighty ; possessing the rare quality of taking the reader by the shortest course to the author's object; that writings of this sort, whatever be their theme, should neither be read nor sought after, augurs but ill for the taste and employment of the present day. But that they, occupied as they are in the discussion of some of the most important topics in the whole compass of christian theology, should remain uncalled for, is to the writer of this article a fact that is perfectly astounding. But to whatever cause the fact
be attributed beside, the writer will venture to affirm, that it cannot justly be ascribed to the want of freshness in the author's method of pursuing his argument, to the looseness of his reasonings in support of his general theme, or to the inconclusive bearing of his works upon their separate objects. So fully is the writer convinced of this, that he scruples not to hazard what little reputation he possesses in affirming, that there are but few works upon the same subjects, very few indeed, which either surpass or equal them in perspicuity, originality, and
power.
The writer cannot pledge himself for the correctness of
every sentiment set forth in these works, or for the propriety of every expression used by the author; for on several points included in the subjects that are discussed, the author and himself thought very differently, as the notes appended to the works by the editor will show; but with the exception of two or three instances, in which he knew it to have been the author's intention, had he lived, to give a new edition of his works to the public, to have made some verbal alterations, he has uniformly given the author's sentiments in his own language. And if in any case the editor thought it necessary to guard his readers against anything that is advanced by the author, of a more dubious and less justifiable nature, he has always done it in a note, with the word editor affixed to it. This liberty he claimed, or he could not conscientiously have undertaken the task of re-editing these works, dearly as he loved their author, and highly as he thought of his judgment and theology.
The several essays which are now for the first time offered to the public, as they had not the benefit of the author's last corrections, they cannot be expected to

George Washington Turner – Will evidence lost on Titanic
Heirs make fight for Turner Fortune
GEORGE WASHINGTON TURNER 1814 – 1910
ETHEL DREDA BEATRICE WASHINGTON TURNER 1889 – 1910
AGNES ANNIE TURNER 1849 – 1926
George Washington Turner was born on 15 March 1814 at Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, USA, he was the son of Henry Turner and Sarah Baker. He is said to be a descendant of George Washington`s sister.
On 30 July 1835 he married Ann Wilcox Poyntell in Natchez and they had six known children.
He bought Elms Court, in 1824 from sisters Eliza and Katherine Evans who had the property built for them. It is a large mansion and George W doubled its acreage over the next 10 years when it was sold for $25.000 in 1852 to Francis Surget, the richest planter in Natchez.
By 1860 they are in New York Ward 18, New York, where George is a farmer. The value of his real estate was entered as $300.000 and his personal estate as $25.000, so he was already a wealthy man.
Only his wife Ann and 4 of their children are there, including Annie Georgiana Washington Turner aged 5 and George aged 2. They also had 2 Irish servants.
In 1865 George W applied for a passport.

These children were Annie G W Turner, and George W Turner.
Turner's 1865 Passport application.
Where they travelled to isn't sure but their youngest daughter Annie Georgiana Washington Turner married John Henry Crane (Esq.) on 12 June 1877 at Shanklin (Isle of Wight), Hampshire. The newspaper announcement states her father was `of New York and Cannes`
Between 1881 and 1901 they were living in Worcestershire, and John Henry Crane was the High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1888.
On 5 September 1908 Annie Georgina sailed from Liverpool to the USA without her husband and in 1911 he is on his own in Worcestershire. John Henry had served in the South African War with the Imperial Yeomanry, and had been a Major in the Queen's Own Worcs. Hussars. The marriage was dissolved because his wife had converted to Catholicism while he was away. (Source Family Tree)
On 3 November 1883 the son George W Turner married Susan Rosina Ellis, daughter of the late Mr Richard Ellis of Iver Moor, Iver, Buckinghamshire, the marriage took place at St George`s, Hanover Square, London. Richard Ellis was a stockbroker as were some of his sons, and was quite well off.
George and Susan didn't stay in England for long, they moved to Canada first, then Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York.
George W Turner`s wife Annie Wilcox Turner died early in 1888 aged 72 in the Martley district, Worcestershire, and before the end of June 1888 he married Isabella Francis also in Worcestershire. Isabella was born in Ipswich, Suffolk and was 37 years younger than him, between April and June 1889 their daughter Ethel Dreda Beatrice Washington Turner was born.
In 1891 the family was living at Eldo House, Ombersley Road, South Claines, Worcestershire. G Washington Turner was living on his own means. Isabella died aged 34 in Worcestershire in early 1892 leaving George W with their young daughter Ethel.
The next year he married Agnes Annie Bierne on 19 October 1893 at St George's Catholic Church, Worcester. They were then spending two months in Paris and the rest of the winter in Rome.
The announcement in the Worcestershire papers states that George was father to Mrs Crane of Oakhampton and of the late Countess de Barrême. It was also published in the Wrexham Advertiser.
Hélion Antoine Scipion de Barrême De Montravail had married Marianne Poyntell Turner on 16 October 1872, Nice, but she died 5 January 1873 in Grasse, France aged just 26 years.
Agnes was the daughter of the late John Bierne Esq. Plas Derwen, Sontley Road. Wrexham she was then aged 44 and about 35 years younger than George. John Bierne was a well known brewer in Wrexham , also a Mayor of the town, and had died in 1891.
By 1901 George Turner, Agnes Turner and Ethel Turner aged 10 are at 1 Elm Grove, Rhosddu Road. Wrexham.
In autumn 1908 Agnes and Ethel travelled from Liverpool to New York. They were going to her stepson George Turner in Syracuse.
Ethel Dreda Beatrice Washington Turner died on 26 March 1910. Newport, Rhode Island.
The death index details have her address as 325 Spring Street, Newport, she has no occupation.
Cause of death – acute catarrh, pneumonia, bronchitis and peritonitis.
Aged 20. Father's Name George W Turner, mothers name Isabella Francis .
Her burial place is entered as Wrexham, Denbighshire, so she was brought back and was buried on 12 April 1910.
George W and Agnes moved into Plas Derwen and were living with her brother John Bierne and his family. George Washington Turner died on 3 July 1910 at Plas Derwen and was buried in the same plot as Ethel. He had made a will and probate was granted 16 March 1911 to Agnes .Effects £160 12s 6d.
That was not a lot compared to what he must have had in his past, but the matter didn`t end there. In the 1911 census Ann Turner aged 62 and MARRIED, is living with John Bierne and his family at Plas Derwen, she is his sister and has been married 17 years. This is a match for Agnes Ann, but why is she saying she is still married.
Well – all was revealed later as from August 1911, there were articles in many of the US newspapers and it was "big news"
Buffalo Morning Express New York and Illustrated Buffalo Express – 3 November 1911
Contest Will – Son and daughter say mother concealed death of father. Charging their mother Agnes Washington Turner of Newport with having concealed the death of their father the late George Washington Turner until after the time had expired within which they could appeal from the decree of the court in Newport admitting his will to probate, George Turner and Annie G Crane of Syracuse have petitioned the supreme court for leave to enter the appeal now.
In reports from the trial in 1912 George Washington jnr and his sister Annie Crane who were reported to be direct descendants of George Washington`s sister, declared that Agnes had duped their aged father. They claimed that they had no knowledge of their father's death until months after he died.
It was said that after his third marriage he made a will dividing his estate in three equal parts to his children and Agnes, this will was never heard of again and that they lost all trace of their father. The son said he had heard his father was unhappy, so went to Wrexham and brought him back to Syracuse where he stayed for about a year. Then his wife turned up and took him to Newport where another will was made leaving everything to her.
In October 1908 Agnes and Ethel are on a Liverpool to New York Passenger List.
Ethel Turner born Worcester 1889 – aged 18 years – travelling on the Campania arriving 24 October 1908. Travelling with Agnes Turner aged 47 years – husband Geo Turner , Elm Grove, Wrexham. Going to step-son Geo Turner, 106 White Street, Syracuse, NY.
George and Agnes had returned to Wales after Ethel`s death but the children said they never heard again from their father. It was several months before they heard of his death "in a roundabout way". As they knew their father was wealthy the son tried to find the will, but after months of searching he gave up. It was only when his father's gold watch turned up, and a letter from the Surrogate`s Office was sent to say it was going to be sold that the son suspected something fishy was going on. The watch was in the offices of J P Morgan`s lawyers, but also there were $50.000 NY bonds that had been transferred to Agnes after his father`s death. She had filed the will and sworn it was not over $2.500. It was found that Agnes had paid a huge amount of inheritance tax on the bonds and steps were made to make sure they didn't leave the country. They then had to contest the will, but it was too late legally, so the other option was to charge Agnes with fraud. It was said that she claimed to be a resident of Rhode Island, when in fact she was a resident of Wrexham and had only stopped at Newport long enough to get the will probated. The children also said that their father was completely under the domination of his young and active wife. (She was about 62) They also claimed that their father made discoveries and thought about having the marriage annulled, that she kept him a prisoner for years and even intercepted letters from his son, in the end he sent them as registered mail and each time the receipt was signed by Agnes.
In court George W junior described Agnes as very attractive, a strong woman physically and appearing to have more masculine features than feminine. He said the marriage was not happy, and that his father had sent letters saying Agnes was ill-treating him. George junior came to Wales in 1909 and his father returned to Syracuse with him until the end of the year. He had the idea that his father was becoming "childish" and getting confused, and thought it was summer time when they stayed in Newport as many "gentlemen" did, where they lived in a small upstairs flat.
It's possible that he then moved to this place, and that this was where Ethel died. They would have left soon after to bring her back to Wrexham. The death index has her address as 325 Spring Street, Newport
In the US 1910 Census taken on April 15 – George W Turner junior was still in Syracuse Ward 12, Onondaga, this is about 300 miles from where Ethel died just a few weeks before.
George and Agnes returned to Wrexham in 1910 to bury Ethel and stayed at Plas Derwen with the Bierne`s until his death in July that year.
The children swore they didn`t know of their father's death until October 1910 and that he was not of sound mind when he was last in Newport which enabled Agnes to carry out her plan of concealing the will.
Investigations and testaments were made in Wrexham and the stenographers minutes which amounted to hundreds of typed pages were sent to New York from Liverpool. This didn't turn out as well as expected because they were sent on the TITANIC, and ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic on 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. This meant that all the testaments had be taken again and delayed the trial by 3 months.
Turner evidence lost on the Titanic
The trial lasted one week and the residents of Newport packed the courtroom, they even stayed in their seats when the jury went out to make sure they didn`t lose their place. After 30 minutes it was reported that a verdict had been reached and a "deathlike stillness overhung the courtroom until the verdict was announced "
It was in favour of George and his sister Annie who with their lawyer were surrounded by well-wishers offering congratulations. Meanwhile Agnes sat silent and motionless and heard the verdict which deprived her of her estate without any outward signs of feeling.
At the start of the trial, questions were asked about George Washington Turner, his life and whether he was irrational when he made the will. Dr J Franklin Kauffman said that in his opinion he would judge that he had senile dementia.
The defence was entirely taken up with evidence from Wales, except for Agnes, Dr Darrah her physician and several servants and caretakers who all said that George showed no signs of a failing mind and appeared to be devoted to his wife.
Dr Darrah of Newport said he knew the family and they were very pleasant, at first he thought Agnes was the daughter and Ethel the granddaughter. He stated he thought he was of a sound mind.
Evidence from Wrexham was given by Rev Evan Holt, a Catholic. Dr Richard Williams who had only known him a short time after Ethel`s death said he died from senile decay, his memory was good although at times he had hallucinations, and he was fond of Agnes. Ann Jane Shaw, the wife of a collier was a cook for the family in Wrexham, said Mr Turner had a very strong mind and ruled the household, Mrs Turner was very affectionate, Ethel was her father's idol and was very fond of Agnes even calling her Mother.
John Bierne, Agnes`s brother said he had known George for years, he was a gentleman and very particular about neatness. He would have whatever he liked to eat, and was eating all the time. Agnes told him there was no will.
The Sun. October 17, 1912.
Geo W Turners will broken.
Jury in $50.000 case decides for his son and daughter.
The will of George Washington Turner, once a very wealthy man who once had a home on 5th Avenue, New York and who died at Wrexham in July 1910 has been broken.
George W Turner and Mrs Annie Crane of Syracuse, two children of Mr Turner who were cut off in the will with bequests of $5 each brought suits in the Superior Court here to break the will and this evening the jury brought in a verdict in their favour. The estate now stands as though Mr Turner had died intestate. It was said in court that $50.000 is now involved. The plaintiffs had endeavored to show that undue influence had been exerted by Mrs Agnes Washington Turner the third wife of the testator.
It`s not known for sure where Agnes went after this, but she attended the burial of her brother John Bierne in 1916, he was still at Plas Derwen, and Agnes Ann Turner died at Plas Derwen on 27 May 1927, she made a will and left effects of £12461 8s 6d. This was a considerable amount more than her husband was supposed to have left in 1910. She was buried with George and Ethel.
George Turner junior died in 1925, he was still living in Syracuse, New York.
Annie G Crane is believed to have died in 1946 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Daniel: I recently featured a video of the original Greater Vision, plus Pat Barker, singing "Wedding Music." You posted a comment that there was an interesting backstory involving Greater Vision. Any chance you could elaborate on that?
Gerald: In March of 1991, we were on an In Touch Bible Study Cruise, with Dr. Charles Stanley. The Talleys were also one of the groups on the cruise.
One afternoon, I was sitting at a table on the Pool Deck, and Kirk came walking up and said "let me sing you this new song I've just finished with Phil [Cross]." He proceeded to sing "Wedding Music," and I immediately knew it was a "hit." I told him "we'll do it!", and asked him to hold it for us, since we wouldn't be going into the studio for several months, having just released our first Riversong CD, On A Journey.
A few months later, we were on a concert date with the Cathedrals, and Roger asked me to come to their bus to listen to their new recording…they were in the "final mix" stage of finishing it up. You can imagine how surprised I was to hear the now-classic version of "Wedding Music", with George's signature voice singing the second verse. Of course, it was immediately obvious to me they did a better job with it than we ever could have, but I was still a little bit surprised that Kirk had sent it to them, without letting me know.
I replied, "you've got a good point", and we both laughed. Thankfully, they did record "Wedding Music", and it became one of the most-requested songs of their final decade of touring.
Looking back, I'm glad I got to be one of the first to hear what would become another "Cathedral Quartet Classic." Nobody can sing it like they did!

India's Rush For Development That Is Making Tribals Sacrifice Their Lives And Livelihoods
4 Sep 2015 indeseem
Image source: Young Baiga Women, India, Wikimedia commons
By Antara Mukherjee
Over the past few decades, the rate of development in India has increased steadily. The methods to encourage this development have become harsher, rougher and prudential in a way that has led to complications on a large scale. As the rate of development rises, Indian Adivasis and the rural population have been largely and purposefully left behind in the dust of the storm. And through this exclusion, millions of voices have been raised to challenge the new ideas of development, wrongful displacement of communities, uprooting of ancient and traditional livelihoods and mostly the snatching away of any authority on their own lives.
Development Induced Displacement and Resettlement (DIDR) is the root of most problems in this case. Large groups of adivasis and villages residing in and around forests, mountains and resource rich areas are being forced to move away for the creation of dams for hydroelectric power, area to set up mines, area to set up airports, military bases. With the use of force these communities are being pushed to give into the demands of the richer and the powerful. In return they are being left without jobs, no money to feed themselves and no homes. They are being pushed to migrate into newer environments where they aren't able to cope up with new livelihoods.
Kashipur in Odisha is rich in bauxite. A joint international company called Utkal Aluminium decided to lay it's foundation in the village of Maikanch in Kashipur. Over the past ten years, the villagers have protested to this intrusion and they have been met with violence. To reiterate the fact that this project of mining bauxite is in the name of development, state police and state administration have turned to hostile and uncivilised flow of violence on these peaceful villagers. One fine day, the police vans turned up with armed policemen and opened fire on a few men who were cultivating their land. After injuring a few and killing three men, they fled the scene, leaving behind the threat of further such violence. The kind of violence that has been met out to such geographically favourable areas is a trend. It's always the state against the people, it's always cold blooded violence against peaceful protests by the villagers and the affected sections. Not only were the people of Maikanch attacked, the company even tried to bribe some of the villagers and asked them to state how happy they really were about the mining project and how they were alright with the forced displacement.
This shows that the trust between a government and its people is no longer a reliable phenomenon. In each case the authorities have been the reason for more trouble to the people than the foreign companies that only want to sink their claws into profits.
A little further away in Nagarnar, Chhattisgarh another such conflict had arisen. The National Minerals Development Corporation with the help of Russian technology wanted to set up a steel plant. At the beginning, the villagers of Nagarnar didn't raise any qualms about this project. It became a problem when the site of the plant was announced. The CM was adamant about using the fertile agricultural land of the villagers for the plant instead of the huge barren stretch of land that the villagers had proposed. Protesters were beaten up, wrongfully jailed and shot at. Villagers were lathi-charged, stoned and tear gassed. After four gram sabhas collectively refused to give up their land, they were cheated out of it by the authorities through forgery. Eventually hundreds of villagers were jailed so the plant could carry out the inauguration ceremony peacefully. They were even forced to accept compensations and beaten up for any refusals. Even after all this transpired the state authorities claimed that law and order was being rightfully maintained with cooperation by all.
The truth is that most resource and mineral rich areas have been a home historically and traditionally and may time even legally to tribals and villagers living there. They have resided in those regions for centuries with their own methods of survival and livelihood. And these regions in turn become the ground for conflict between them and the government that refuses to accept any protest against their forced development projects. These areas have been the site for terrible conflict that has led to the killing of innocents in hundreds and thousands. It is astonishing how deaf the state authorities can be when it comes to paying heed to their own "subjects". It is also astonishing how state governments that claim to have no funds to carry out development of villages and such has enough money to order military battalions against peaceful and unarmed protests.
Development is a huge part of a developing nation, but at what cost? The tribals and poor villagers have nothing to gain from the mainstream idea of development. Their livelihoods cannot be sacrificed for others. And our governments have profusely refused to help and provide refuge to these resilient communities.
When it comes to reasons as to why these communities refuse to give up their lands and livelihoods they are plenty. Some being the fact that they only know their way of life and cannot cope with any displacement and change of lifestyle. They cannot survive without their ancient knowledge and forests as they need them for food and other such basic needs.
But this ancient history, their reservoir of hereditary knowledge of forests and of sustainable development has gone unnoticed by authorities that claim to be the harbingers of development.
In the recent past another conflict that has raised many debates along the lines of what development should mean is the tussle over the Niyamgiri hills in Odisha.
The Niyamgiri hill range is a beautiful landscape which is a fertile and thriving forest land. Within these hills live a tribe called the Dongria- Kondh who revere this hill range as their deity, as their God and the one who is responsible for their existence. But like many other regions in Odisha this hill range happens to be very rich in bauxite ore, a key requirement for mining aluminium. Vedanta Mining is a company that is based in the UK and it has mining operations going on in multiple countries. They currently have their eyes on the Niyamgiri hills and want to mine it for bauxite. The problem with this is that hill range is rich in flora and fauna, it is self-sustaining and is a home to many tribes including the Dongria-Kondh. Since the beginning of the project, the villages within the hill have come out with passionate refusals to the project proposal. The mining would result in their hill being blown apart and their livelihoods destroyed. The tribe lives in its own little world. They grow their own food and are highly skilled at gathering in the forest.
The villages have been able to hold back the proposal through collective refusals at over 14 gram sabhas. They have vetoed the entrance of the mining company and have refused to leave their land even if it means to die. The politicians who stand to profit if the proposal goes through are now proposing military help to diffuse the unanimity of the people by accusing them of maoist activities. Currently the company is yet to make a move due to the lack of a green signal, because a collective veto would influence the state authorities against them. But with the new government in place, gram sabhas may lose their authority to decide for themselves and their lives. This is a different kind of violence. The tribe lives in fear for their Niyam raja who has been their cover for centuries. They are ready for a war, if required, to save their home. The company's advertisements for the Indian population has the tagline, "Mining Aluminium. Health and Happiness of Odisha." However the intentions of the company are very two faced. They are only prepared to mine and prioritise their customers who can afford the products of aluminium. They have no intentions of social work, rehabilitation or employing the people of the villages they will be uprooting. With no regard for the people that are being forcibly displaced, our current government aims to take away the right to veto from these villages, making the gram sabhas null and void of their function. This could lead to great problems, one of coaxing these villages into a revolt which would cause both humanitarian and economic problem amongst many others.
What seems common in all these struggles over the country is that none of them, none of the affected people are ready to wait for their fate to be decided in a corporate boardroom. And the authorities, the government cannot take this reaction lightly or de-prioritise the call of the tribals over the greater good of the mainstream society. No one should be sacrificed or be made to sacrifice for other people, a sacrifice that will leave them begging for food and shelter for the rest of their lives and even generations.
The current track record of development that this country has seen has been devastating for those who cannot afford it. They have been systematically excluded from any of the 21st century privileges, even human rights. This tussle over land is only one of the many cases of developmental frauds that has and will result in more problems and complications in the future. Organisations like the World Bank have been equally at fault for pushing projects in such areas where a problem is bound to arise.
In conclusion, all these incidents echo the reality of the phenomenon we call development. It is critically important for us to recognise the sometimes devastating patterns of development and how they affect only a certain section of the society. It is important to recognise and be critical of developmental methods that require the displacement and the sacrifice of people who cannot afford either.

I know that one of the most persistent comments I hear about going to the farmer's market is "I love getting fresh veggies, but I don't know what to make with half of these ingredients!" I myself have fallen into that rut myself. But I've made it a point to be intentional about my farmer's market shopping, picking out recipes that I'll actually make and eat. I'm dedicated to living healthier and just love knowing that all the little pieces of fresh veggies go to work inside my body. So, maybe I'll make "farmer's market recipes" part of my new blogging repertoire. We'll see;) I usually only like to make simple things. I also like things that can be tweaked based on what I have on-hand. If that's your jam, stay tuned.
So, kale! It looks like something you probably never want to touch. It's such a weird thick lettuce-y vegetable that no one knows what to do with, let alone WANTS to do anything with. I happen to love it when prepared right. The secret is in the marinade. You have to marinate kale to soften it up and give it good flavor. You have to massage the marinade in so it really absorbs, like sunscreen on the human body. See how that sounds like more like an "interaction" than a recipe? You actually have to interact with the kale to get it how you want it.
Shred the kale and put it in a bowl. Toss in diced green onions, cheese and toppings of choice. Mix all the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad. Massage the dressing into the kale. You might even want to put the salad into a plastic container with a lid and shake it up, especially before serving. That's it!
This is the one type of salad where you actually want the leaves to "marinate" in the dressing. They won't get soggy! It will only taste better. If you want to add other greens to your salad, add before serving so they don't get soggy.
What would you buy at the farmer's market if you knew what to do with it?

The Farmer Diaries
Texas farmer proclaims 5 reasons why weeds can be good for your garden
Marshall Hinsley
Jun 1, 2014 | 9:30 am
Each year by summertime, my field and raised bed garden become overgrown with weeds. The grasses and vines that seem to pop up everywhere after a good rain compete with my food crops, reducing the amount of fruits and veggies I can expect to harvest. To remedy this, I must spend several hours each day pulling them up by the roots and tossing them out where they can't reestablish themselves.
But despite my urge to make my fields look like the sterile rows of herbicide-laden corn I see growing nearby, total weed eradication should not be my goal if I want to grow my own food sustainably. There are several reasons not to lay waste to all the non-food flora that takes root in my garden.
Feeding the bees
Many of the weeds that infiltrate my garden are simply native wildflowers. Before they bloom, it's difficult to know that they'll one day be beautiful Indian blanket flowers, Maxmillian sunflowers or any other specimen listed in the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center's database.
Aside from their obvious beauty, their flowers habituate butterflies and bees to the area where my food crops grow, ensuring that when my squash, melons and fruit trees bloom, they're thoroughly pollinated, right away. By allowing wildflowers to grow around the perimeter, I've seen countless bumblebees, swallowtail butterflies and honey bees working from sun up to sundown, gathering nectar and flying from flower to flower. The garden is as much theirs as it is mine.
Pest subterfuge
It might seem that weeds harbor pests, and those pests would then eat crops, but I've found the opposite to be true in many instances. Whenever I directly sow the seed of a delicate plant in a raised bed, the sprouts that germinate in isolation seem to be the ones that fall victim to pestilent predators first.
The sprouts that germinate among native plants seem to blend in a little better while not attracting the attention of whatever hungry bug is near. There's also more for them to eat, so the chances of a pest taking a direct route to gorge itself on my new sprouts are slim.
One might make an assumption that weeds rob soil of nutrients. But if this were true, industrial farmers who've wiped out all the native plants from the land would not need to spend thousands of dollars to pump their soil full of chemical, high-nitrogen fertilizers every year.
Such an expense seems pointless when you consider that native legumes such as bluebonnets and bundleflower host bacteria in their roots that take nitrogen from the air and fix it to the soil where it can be taken up by plants, free of charge.
Another example of how weeds benefit improve soil fertility can be seen in non-native dandelions. Along with a few other weeds with long taproots, dandelions grow deep into the soil, tapping into buried sources of essential plant minerals and concentrating them in their leaves and stems.
When they die back at the end of the year, those minerals are released into the upper level of the surrounding soil, where they become available to food crops with shallower root systems. Additionally, the long taproots aerate the soil and alleviate soil compaction that hinders root development in crops.
Weeds grow well, on their own with no supplemental water. They therefore effortlessly shade the soil from the heat of the sun, keeping soil temperature lower and reducing the rate of moisture evaporation.
Cooler, moister soil in turn harbors more beneficial microorganisms that improve soil fertility and keep soil-borne diseases under control.
Flooding rainfall moves loose soil particles downstream, and heavy winds blow dry soil into the air and far away. The land I farm was purchased by my parents back in the '70s. It sits several feet higher than the land across the road.
Both plots were farmland at the time of the purchase, and they were at the same elevation. The difference: My family's land was allowed to repopulate with wildflowers and weeds, while the plot across the road continued to be farmed for three more decades. Little by little every year, the bare land across the road has washed away with every rain or blown away with every plowing.
I must remove the weeds that interfere with my crops. Johnsongrass, bindweed and several varieties of invasive plants are on my list to be destroyed. But I don't feel as compelled to weed out every last trace of non-food plants.
In my field of Israeli melons, I'm allowing bundleweed to grow along with my melon vines. I'm thinning out but not eradicating the native sunflowers that have cropped up; their seeds will feed wild birds throughout the winter.
Around the perimeter of the melon field and my raised bed garden, I'm allowing Indian blanket, Texas yellowstar and purple thistle, along with a few other wildflowers, to go to seed before I mow everything down. Milkweed I treat like a sacred artifact. Wherever it grows, it grows free of harassment so that monarch butterflies have a slightly improved chance of dodging imminent extinction.
To anyone who drives by my experiment in sustainable food production, my weedy acreage must seem like a failure. What's not obvious from a car window is that my crops are the major part almost every meal that I eat, year-round.

Universal Studios will open a new family-friendly theme park in North Texas
A new Universal theme park is coming to Frisco, Texas.
Texans, get ready to meet Shrek: Universal Parks & Resorts is opening a one-of-a-kind theme park in Frisco, near Dallas, promised to be unlike any other in the world — a new park set in a green landscape featuring immersive themed lands that celebrates Universal's iconic characters and stories.
According to a release, the company has purchased 97 acres of land, east of the Dallas North Tollway and north of Panther Creek Parkway, which will also be home to a themed hotel.
The complex will boast a completely different look, feel, and scale from Universal's existing parks, one designed to appeal to a new audience for the brand.
It will also be a regional version, smaller than Universal's other parks in Hollywood and Orlando, designed to be more intimate and engaging for younger audiences, although surely the same quality as the larger parks.
Features will include family-friendly attractions, interactive and playful shows, character meet & greets, unique merchandise, and food & beverage venues.
The release says that Universal Parks & Resorts selected Frisco for its growing population and ability to attract businesses.
"We are excited about the opportunity to partner with the city of Frisco and Mayor Jeff Cheney as we work to bring this innovative new concept to life, designed specifically for a younger generation of Universal fans," says Page Thompson, president of New Ventures at Universal Parks & Resorts.
"We think North Texas is the perfect place to launch this unique park for families given its growing popularity within this part of the country," she says.
The new park is part of a bigger expansion for Universal Parks and Resorts, which is also opening a third theme park at Universal Orlando Resort, as well as a smaller horror-themed park in Las Vegas.

The time period Enterprise Intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, functions and practices for the gathering, integration, evaluation, and presentation of business information. ClearTax can also assist you to in getting your corporation registered for Goods & Companies Tax Regulation. Additionally, most of this won't apply for very new companies or ones that haven't any income. Lower operational prices and specialized services are a number of the predominant explanation why international companies resort to outsourcing.
Therefore, the enterprise reaches the following problem: The maturing enterprise now requires a administration construction or governance to create checks and balances and to ensure that the administration focus does not turn into too powerful and overwhelm the entrepreneurship necessary to create rapid growth and entry new markets.
An instance of business ethics is when ethical guidelines are applied by a corportion to find out how greatest to deal with its workers, shareholders and clients. For instance, modifications in taxes by the federal government can make the customers buy much less. Enterprise Intelligence instruments help the telecom service providers to perform knowledge evaluation and to foretell churn probability of a selected buyer.
Many definitions of entrepreneurship could be discovered in the literature describing enterprise processes. Social business is partially business as standard (processes, group, targets, income, and so on.) and partially enterprise as uncommon (scale, social ecosystems, actual-time economy, many-to-many, and many others.). Enterprise Intelligence is extra of a primary step for companies to take after they want the flexibility to make information-pushed selections.
A enterprise is a company which produces and sells goods or which provides a service. Let's go over what the business tax definition is and the way your can prepare for it. Enterprise data management brings Business Intelligence and Enterprise Content material Management together.
The term can also be typically used colloquially (but not by attorneys or by public officials) to check with a company An organization, alternatively, is a separate authorized entity and provides for limited liability , in addition to corporate tax rates.
Leaping is a phenomenon that happens on a regular basis with enterprise opportunity seekers. 14. Enterprise Intelligence (BI) is a time period that defines a set of informatics functions with economical background, used into firms to investigate knowledge with a view to remodel them into information that will be the base of choices taken by managers." – Airinei, D. & Berta, 2012.
The definition of enterprise property used by the tax authority is closer to on a regular basis language, i.e. the property wanted for the efficiency as a one-person business of an industrial, commercial, craft-based mostly, agricultural business or self-employed occupation and rights in the company, i.e. shares ".
17 Accounting, which has been referred to as the "language of business", 18 measures the results of an organization's economic activities and conveys this information to quite a lot of users, together with traders , creditors , administration , and regulators 19 Practitioners of accounting are generally known as accountants The phrases "accounting" and "financial reporting" are often used as synonyms.


Recently we visited RSPB Saltholme in Teesside, which is a little oasis of nature with a backdrop of industrial cooling towers, chimneys and, of course, the Tees transporter bridge. We were invited to spend some time at the RSPB Saltholme visitor centre and wetlands to see what preschoolers can do and see.
We arrived at RSPB Salthome at about half-ten. We'd planned to arrive at 10am, but I remembered as we pulled in to the carpark that I'd managed to forget James' wellies (due mostly to the surprise event of him actually putting his own shoes on all by himself), and I had to take a detour to the nearest Tesco, run inside with the two boys, grab some new boots, and then drive back again. As it turned out all of that was unnecessary and I could've just gone in to the visitor centre without wellies because RSPB Saltholme actually have a huge box of them to loan out!
RSPB Salthome seems like a pretty good place for a spontaneous and/or scatterbrained day out because they also loan rugged Jane pushchairs. They'd be great for if you had actually forgotten your pushchair, or just had the flimsy umbrella stroller with you. Or if you had spent all day at RSPB Saltholme and had worn out a pair of little legs but not the rest of your party.
After meeting up with Caroline, the visitor experience manager at Salthome, we went out from the Visitor Centre and along to an area of the wetlands where it's possible to do pond dipping. Caroline had brought nets, a tray, and a spotting guide. After laying out the rules of pond dipping, we set to it. A bit of a swish around with the net, and then gently tipping the contents of the net in the tray, we discovered a huge variety of creatures are living in the pond!
A short walk around the corner is this fantastic water play area. There are wooden troughs with gates and locks, filled by pumps at the top, and emptied out back into the main pond at the bottom.
James and Noah enjoyed using the pump to fill the trough at the top, and then working together to let the water down the hill through the gates. Mainly, however, Noah loved climbing in the bottom container and splashing up and down. His wellies were making a splooshing noise with every step he took as we explored more of the wetlands!
After almost two hours of pond dipping and playing it was time for a bit of lunch. Sandwiches were around £3 to £4, hot options were available but I didn't check those out. The boys were happy with a kids' lunch selection each, with a freshly made sandwich, raisins, yoghurt, and drink each.
The cafe is up high in the nature reserve, and you have a brilliant view of the water and grasslands. If you take a window seat in the cafe you will be able to watch the sand martins fly in and around their sandbank, too.
In the visitor centre you will find a number of toys to play with, as well as books around the theme. My boys really enjoyed playing with the activity toys! You can also pick up a bag filled with things to encourage outdoor exploration. We found a magnifying glass, a small pot with a magnifying lid, a crayon, some paper, and a few other things that would probably suit a slightly older audience than my two. We only used the pot to collect a huge-legged spider, and look at it, before returning it gently to the outdoors.
Later we took a walk out through the grasslands to see what we could see. We walked along "Dragonfly trail" and passed lots of signs with snippets of information about dragonflies along the route. We did actually spot a couple, too!
We also found a worm (!) and a hairy moth caterpillar, but they didn't really have the patience to look at the birds. Again, I think this is an interest for older children. Mine were more interested in wondering what could live in the little forest of lemon trees (chamomile) they found near the hide. The Saltholme Hide is where you can spot loads of creatures – take a look at the community blog on the Saltholme website for amazing photos and updates on what can be seen around the reserve.
We went to #rspbsaltholme today and had a fab time. We went pond dipping, and played for hours in the water area. We also explored the excellent playground, and then went for a walk through the grasslands to the Saltholme hide. Meanwhile my kids decided to be super cute. Apparently the highlight of the day was pond dipping, closely followed by finding a caterpillar that'll turn into a moth.
The adventure playground at Saltholme is something special. It's in a large grassy area, and has play equipment for different ages and to suit a variety of abilities.
Right next door is a beautiful walled garden, jam packed full of flowers that are impressive to people and interesting to insects. Information signs are dotted about here too, so you can have a look for some of the creatures that like to live in the various parts of the garden. A hedgehog hotel was Noah's favourite, while James enjoyed trying to spot more caterpillars.
We eventually left RSPB Saltholme at about 4pm. A full day and two tired boys, and a place marked on the map that we must return to when they're a bit older. They, and I, loved the day out at RSPB Saltholme, but I suspect they will get even more from the experience in a couple of years. We had a busy day and yet there were a lot of things we missed.
We were provided with complimentary entry, cake, and travel expenses for the purposes of this review. Thanks to all the staff we spoke to, who were kind, patient, and knowledgable.
Ah this looks lovely! i love the photos of the boys jumping in the water play! We passed Saltholme on the way to Hartlepool the other day. I think there's lots of different days out to be had down those parts-not too far away either!
