1. Floodwaters in Sindh recede, food insecurity on the rise
• With floodwater levels in 18 out of 22 districts of Sindh receding 34 per cent and in some districts up to 78pc, a latest UN report says that the situation is expected to exacerbate food insecurity in the flood-hit provinces.
• Besides, increasing cases of waterborne and vector-borne diseases are a major concern, particularly in the most affected areas of Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
• The UN`s Of fice for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in its report, issued on Saturday, saidthat normal conditions had started to prevail in most dis trict s of Balochistan and temperatures started to decrease.
• Overall water levels are receding in the upper areas of Taluka Qubo Saeed Khan, Shahdadkot, Qambar, Warah and Nasirabad, while Indus River is flowing normally at Guddu, Sukkur and Kotri barrages
2. CM opens Rs100bn Ehsaas Ration Programme
• Chief Minister Parvez Elahi opened the Punjab Ehsaas Ration Programme worth Rs100 billion here on October 2, 2022.
• Chairperson of Punjab Ehsaas Programme Senator Dr Sania Nishtar, former federal minister Moonis Elahi, and Chief Minister`s Adviser on Information Omar Sarfaraz Cheema also accompanied Mr Elahi, who began the scheme at a general store in Shadman market.
• The chief minister was given a briefing about the programme by Dr Nishtar.

4. Germany builds gas terminals to replace Russian pipelines
• Germany`s most strategically important building site is at the end of a windswept pier on the North Sea coast, where workers are assembling the country`s first terminal for the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
• Starting this winter, the rig, close to the port of Wilhelmshaven, will be able to supply the equivalent of 20 percent of the gas that was until recently imported from Russia.
• Since its invasion of Ukraine, Moscow has throttled gas supplies to Germany, while the Nord Stream pipelines which carried huge volumes under the Baltic Sea to Europe were damaged last week in what a Danish-Swedish report called `a deliberate act.` In the search for alternative sources, the German government has splashed billions on five projects like the one in Wilhelmshaven

A Kentucky man was arrested after he beat a 9-year-old boy for taking toppings off of his pizza.
34-year-old Nicholas McCoy allegedly beat the boy by hitting him repeatedly in the legs with a belt, causing bruising, as well as hitting the child in the face, causing bruises.
The boy's mother told cops that the reason Mr. McCoy had done it was because he was upset that he was removing toppings from his pizza and not eating the pizza fast enough.
A warrant was issued on September 15th, and he was arrested on September 28th.
He's been charged with first degree criminal abuse of a child under the age of 12 and is being held in the Boyle County Detention Center.

Bishop coming to Old Buckenham
A special day
Sunday 1 November is All Saints Day and the Bishop of Norwich will be visiting All Saints Old Buckenham for the 10am Patronal Service to rededicate the Church following the restoration of the tower, stained glass windows and the new thatched roof.
The Church will be decorated with 150 lilies to remember loved ones who have died. This event was cancelled at Easter due to Covid-19. The flower displays in the Church can be seen anytime from 9am to 4pm during the following weeks.
Take several buckets of lilies...
...cut the stems to the right size for the arrangement...
...tidy up the arrangements and the display of names being remembered...
...and put more displays on the window sills.
Latest Old Buckenham newsletter
The November village newsletter is being put through your letterboxes in the next few days. As well as the normal items like the notes on the Parish Council minutes and news of the village Hall, you can read about repairs starting on the village windmill and how a village school burnt to the ground many years ago.
Old Buckenham's Eleemosynary charity
Allocation of Benefits 2020
A little later than in most years, the Trustees of the Old Buckenham United Eleemosynary Charities invite residents of Old Buckenham, in financial need, to apply for an annual grant of benefit. The need may be for a long-term situation or for a more temporary problem that has occurred only recently. There is no age restriction. However, as will be understood, the Trustees have a duty to ensure that the annual distribution of monies reflects the aim of the Charity to support the most deserving in our village.
The Trustees will review all requests received and will take into consideration any other benefits currently received by applicants. Application forms will be available in All Saints Church from the beginning of November. Fully completed forms should be returned to Mrs Jennifer Sallnow, Arianne, Attleborough Road, Old Buckenham, NR17 1RF (telephone 01953 860166). As was advised to beneficiaries last year, the Trustees ask that all previous beneficiaries complete an application form for consideration by the Trustees.
Last date for applications to be with Mrs Sallnow is Thursday 19 November.
Requesting Old Buckenham information
Six Villages newsletter
The Six Villages Newsletter is hoping to produce a Christmas edition and would like input from individuals and groups in this village. If you are a local group, how have you been faring, are you intending to open again next year or have you reached the end of the road? If you are an individual or family how have you been spending your time since March? As it will be the festive season, however odd this year, would you like to send a message to anyone? Please contact Wendy, the editor, on sixvillagesnews@yahoo.com by Saturday 7 November.
Footpaths in Old Buckenham
Parish Paths (Public Rights of Way)
A number of parishioners have enquired about the routes of Old Buckenham Parish Paths (Public Rights of Way). We are fortunate to have a number of varied and very attractive routes within our village and these are identified on the map linked to this article. If you would like to view the routes in more detail you can do so by going on-line and accessing the Norfolk Highways 'Definitive and Interactive Map'. This is accessed via http://maps.norfolk.gov.uk/highways/ On the website you can view the definitive map / interactive map / and the reporting form relating to a problem on a Public Right of Way. To access our village when entering the webpage just zoom to Old Buckenham and then left click on the map and select 'View Public Rights of Way Definitive Map'. If you would like to investigate taking in Paths within surrounding Parishes, you can do so on this interactive map by zooming in on our neighbouring Parishes – you will see from the map that routes within an individual parish have the name of that Parish on the route as well as a route number. If you would like to undertake longer walks within Norfolk on established trails they are marked on the website http://maps.norfolk.gov.uk/trails/
The Parish Council would like to emphasise that they can only deal with enquiries relating the Parish Paths identified by name and number within Old Buckenham. They have had a number of general enquiries about Parish Paths that whilst parishioners have thought the Path is in the Parish, it is in fact in another. They can point you in the right direction to get your enquiry answered but have no jurisdiction for Paths in other Parishes.
Your help and support would be appreciated – the Parish Council has been liaising with the NCC Countryside Access Officer for South Norfolk in relation to signage of Parish Paths. They have discussed setting up a joint project to ensure the regulations relating to signposting Public Rights of Way are adhered to. For example, it is the responsibility of the Norfolk Highway Authority to signpost a Right of Way where it leaves a public road. Therefore, they would welcome any suggestions for signposting where a parishioner is aware this does not occur. Also, the Highway Authority may arrange for additional way marking on the route of a Path where there are changes of direction or more than one possible route of travel is available or where there is a possibility of being unsure of the route of the Path. In all these instances they would welcome recommendations from parishioners where way marking would be beneficial. If you could send suggestions – with exact location details and if possible, photographs – the Parish Council can then work in partnership with the Countryside Access Officer to establish clear and informative signage within the Parish (please email suggestions to the Parish Council at oldbuckenhampc@live.co.uk or write to the Parish Clerk at 6 Forge Close)
Mill repairs
Work has started
Timber available for free collection
Pick it up
There is (or was earlier today) a pile of sawn wood behind the bus shelter on the village Green. This is the result of some tree maintenance and the Parish Council are happy that is free to anyone who wants to collect it.
Repairing Old Buckenham Mill
Work due to start
Mill back in 2007
Our historic grade II* listed mill is set to be reopened to the public thanks to support from Historic England and the Association for Industrial Archaeology. It is hoped that the major repair works starting this week are a first step towards rescuing the mill from Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register.
Repairs to the unique 202-year-old Old Buckenham Mill can now get underway after the Norfolk Windmills Trust successfully secured funding of £95,325 from Historic England, and £20,000 from the Association for Industrial Archaeology.
Old Buckenham Mill has been closed to the public since 2018 when a pre-existing bulge in the brickwork at the base of the mill started to worsen by showing signs of further cracking and movement
Previously owned by the Colman family, well known for the famous Colman's mustard, and then by Prince Frederick Duleep Singh, the mill in later years fell into disrepair before finally being taken into the care of the Norfolk Windmills Trust.
Old Buckenham Mill is not only the largest diameter tower mill still surviving in the country but also features a unique mechanism to turn the large heavy cap and sails into the wind.
Work is about to start on erecting full-height scaffolding that will allow extensive repairs to the tower's aging brickwork to start. The mill's ground floor will also be removed and replaced with further repairs being made to floor beams, the cap and internal walls. The two grants will cover the majority of the £119,156 cost of the work with the remainder of the funding coming from the Friends of Old Buckenham Mill, who have been fundraising locally, and the Norfolk Windmills Trust.
Once the first phase of work is complete the mill can be reopened to the public by the active volunteer group while further funding is sought for the phase 2 works to the cap and running gear. After this work is done it is hoped that the mill may finally be removed from Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. The final phase will be to reinstate the stocks and sails.
Minutes of October meeting
These notes have been written from the draft minutes so may contain information that is amended at a later date.
Old Buckenham Parish Council met on Thursday 1 October at 7.30pm via Zoom. Those present were councillors Jonn Hicks (Chair), Steve Milner, Adrian Joel, Terry Cook, Andy Nicholls, Ben Devlin and Mike Farrington. Also in attendance were Rachel Noyes (Clerk), Ryan Kuhl (Open Reach) and four members of the public. Naomi Bailey was co-opted on to the Parish Council (7 in favour).
The minutes of the meeting held on Thursday 3 September were approved (6 in favour, 2 abstain). There were no matters arising. Ben Devlin declared an interest in planning application 3PL/2020/1007/F which would be discussed later in the meeting.
Financial report. The community account balance now stands at 38,884.08. The Precept of £10,192.50 has been received and is included in above balance.
Payments totalling £808.40 were approved (8 in favour).
Talk from Open Reach. Ryan Kuhl from Open Reach had kindly agreed to attend the meeting to highlight the Government's Rural Gigabit Connectivity programme to encourage groups of residents and businesses to access funding towards the installation of FTTP (Fibre to the Property) and answer any questions. There is a list of 111 properties in Old Buckenham that have been identified as needing this service. Businesses can access vouchers up to £3500 of vouchers and each residential property can access £1500 of vouchers. Open Reach has been working with Better Broadband for Norfolk to help identify areas in need of help. Ryan highlighted that through this scheme, residents would continue to have more choice over their broadband provider and stay within a competitive market, whereas with other schemes, residents would be tied in to the one provider. When asked about expected speeds and prices, Ryan stated around 150mb/s at a cost of around £35 a month, for both new and existing customers. Ryan is happy to be contacted and answer anyone's questions.
(Mike Farrington lost his internet connection at this point of the meeting and was unable to re-join!)
Planning applications and Breckland District Council's decisions. (All planning applications are available for viewing on the Breckland District Council planning portal – www.breckland.gov.uk/article/2933/Search-Planning-Applications - Parish Councillors have been asked by the chairman to view the new applications in advance of the meeting).
New planning applications. Rosedale, Fen Street. Prior approval for Change of use from light industrial (Class B1(c)) to a dwelling (Class C3). (The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) Schedule 2, Part 3, Class PA (3PN/2020/0044/UC). The application was supported (8 in favour).
Tall Trees, New Buckenham Road. Removal of the existing single-storey extension, new two-storey extension, replacement windows and new external cladding (3PL/2020/0979/HOU). The application was supported (8 in favour).
Old Buckenham Country Park, Doe Lane. 40 additional camping pitches and 40 additional touring caravan pitches. (3PL/2020/1007/F). Ben Devlin explained his desire to expand the business. He addressed concerns by some residents about lighting and noise. There is a noise plan in place and has been improved to include restrictions on cars on site at night and an evening patrol to ensure rules are followed. There are no plans to extend lighting. The Country Park follows NFU guidelines on safety and they are satisfied with all safety measures. The application was supported (7 in favour, 1 abstain).
Development site, Harlingwood Lane. Construction of a new dwelling house and detached garage (3PL/2020/1016/F). Change from initial application, now for one house instead of two. Concerns were again raised about the safety of the junction between Harlingwood Lane and Cake Street. The application was supported (8 in favour).
Land adjacent to Keele Cottage, The Green. Variation of Condition No 2 on Variation of condition 2 (approved plans and details 3PL/2015/0513/F) to allow substitution of these for as-built drawings to regularise the development (3PL/2020/1010/VAR). Several councillors were unhappy with some details of the build not matching the approved plans. It was highlighted that the original plan for 3-storey town houses had been rejected and that the developer had now turned the attic into a bedroom, with the addition of windows. None of this was on the original plan. Many councillors felt it was a matter of principle that it should reject any details which did not match approved plans. A proposal to object was approved (5 in favour, 2 abstain).
Planning decisions by Breckland Council. The following four applications have now been considered and the applications have been approved.
Land to west of 22 Fen Street. Technical details consent for erection of 4 dwellings, permission in principle reference 3PL/2019/1257/PIP (3PL/2020/0495/TDC).

Old Buckenham High School, Abbey Road. The construction of an Artificial Grass Pitch (AGP) with fencing and ancillary features at Old Buckenham High School (3PL/2020/0770/F).
Communications. Steve Milner has begun to draw up a Communications Plan which will soon be sent to councillors. Suggestions include creating a Facebook page for the Parish Council and a correspondence section on the agenda (to highlight contact via website/Facebook). Proposal to create a Parish Council Facebook page, which will be run by the Clerk, was approved (7 in favour). This will initially be used to inform of agendas, minutes, etc, but will be developed over the following months.
Policies. Jonn Hicks and Terry Cook had updated several Parish Council policies. Due to the volume of reading, councillors had received and read these policies in advance of the meeting.

Village Green Working Party. Large tree branch had fallen on the bus shelter during high winds. Thank you to the local tree surgeon for cutting back and making safe. Green will be cut this month.
Play Area. Are still waiting to hear from Playdale regarding date for visit to fix baby swings and complete inspection. Jonn Hicks and Naomi Bailey to chase up. Bins in the main area emptied.

(Old) Buckenham Castle
This is a medieval silver penny, which was deliberately cut in two to make a half penny (ha'penny). They were also cut pennies into four if required, to make fourthings (farthings). This is a composite photo, so you can see both sides of the half coin side by side and the coin itself measures only 18mm along the cut edge. Specifically, it's a coin produced during the 'new coinage' commissioned by Henry lll in 1247. It was found recently by our local metal detectorist Godfrey Pratt. These coins continued to be minted until Henry's death in 1272, so the coin in the photo can be dated to within this twenty-five year period. If you look carefully you can see half the King's crown, half of his nose, one eye, his curly hair, and his mace.
The mid-thirteenth century was a turbulent period in English history, with frequent confrontations between the King and his supporters on the one hand, and the landholding Barons on the other. The D'Albini family of Buckenam had been in Royal service at court since the time of William the Conqueror, and were staunch supporters of Henry lll. Things came to a head in 1263 with the Second Barons Revolt, and in that year Buckenham Castle was besieged by an army under Henry De Hastyngs, one of the leading revolting barons.
Such were the defences of the castle that the siege failed. Since the coin shown was found within besieging distance of the castle, Godfrey is romantically inclined to think it was there at the time, in the purse of a besieging soldier before being accidentally dropped and lost from sight for over 750 years until he picked it up...
Old Buckenham helping the homeless
Each year the St Martin's charity welcome donations of food and financial gifts over the Harvest season which they can use to help their work with the homeless. This year is a little different with Covid causing restrictions on churches and community groups meeting. St Martins have still been receiving donations of food, which have been appreciated. When they asked their residents which items they find most useful, the answer was tinned and packet food, tea, coffee and sugar. Comments included "I cannot always afford to eat" and "People don't always spend money wisely. Some people go hungry." St Martins support people to be as independent as possible, especially around budgeting for food and developing their cooking skills.
If you would like to donate food items for the homeless you will find a box in the porch of All Saints church where you can leave your donations.

288 U.S. 152 - Atlantic City Electric Co v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
the United States Reports
288 U.S.
288 US 152 Atlantic City Electric Co v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
53 S.Ct. 383
77 L.Ed. 667
ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC CO.
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
Argued Dec. 13, 1932.
Decided Feb. 6, 1933.
Mr. Graham Summer, of New York City for petitioner.
The Attorney General and Mr. G. A. Youngquist, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent.
Mr. Chief Justice HUGHES delivered the opinion of the Court.
The question presented is whether the petitioner, Atlantic City Electric Company, was affiliated with the American Gas & Electric Company so that the federal taxes for 1917, 1918, and 1919 should be determined upon the basis of consolidated returns under section 1331 of the Revenue Act of 1921 (42 Stat. 319), as applicable to the year 1917, and section 240 of the Revenue Act of 1918 (40 Stat. 1081, 1082). The Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing the order of the Board of Tax Appeals (15 B.T.A. 1084), upheld the ruling of the Commissioner that the corporations were not affiliated and must make separate returns. 57 F.(2d) 186. The case comes here on certiorari, 287 U.S. 582, 53 S.Ct. 18, 77 L.Ed. —-.
The following facts were found by the Board of Tax Appeals: The petitioner, Atlantic City Electric Company, is a public service corporation. During the years in question, it had outstanding 12,500 shares of common stock, of the par value of $100 per share, and 3,702 shares of preferred stock. Holders of preferred stock were entitled to vote, and that stock was preferred to the extent of an annual cumulative dividend of 6 per cent. and on final liquidation. The preferred stock was redeemable at any time, and had no interest in dividends except as above stated. The American Gas & Electric Company was a holding company. It owned all the common stock of the Atlantic City Electric Company and none of its preferred stock. 655 to 761 shares of that preferred stock were owned by stockholders of the American Gas & Electric Company, but the finding is that the control exercised by that company resulted 'from its absolute ownership of the entire common stock of its subsidiaries and not from control or ownership of preferred stock by its stockholders.' Of the total outstanding stock of the Atlantic City Electric Company, preferred and common, the American Gas & Electric Company owned approximately 77 per cent.
With respect to control of stock, as creating the affiliation which affords a basis for a consolidated return, section 1331 of the Revenue Act of 1921 is to the same effect as section 240 of the Revenue Act of 1918. The requirement of control, in the absence of legal title or beneficial ownership, is not satisfied by acquiescence or by business considerations without binding force. There must be a control that is legally enforceable. Handy & Harman v. Burnet, 284 U.S. 136, 140, 141, 52 S.Ct. 51, 76 L.Ed. 207. And it must be control of 'substantially all the stock.' In Handy & Harman v. Burnet, supra, legally enforceable control of somewhat more than 75 per cent. of the stock was held to be insufficient. The question, then, is whether in the instant case the entire voting stock, preferred and common, should be considered in determining whether there was affiliation, or the common stock alone.
The purpose of the Congress was to secure substantial equality among stockholders who ultimately bear the burden of taxation, and to prevent evasion through the manipulation of intercompany transactions. Handy & Harman v. Burnet, supra. See, also, Burnet v. Aluminum Goods Mfg. Co., 287 U.S. 544, 53 S.Ct. 227, 77 L.Ed. —-, decided January 9, 1933. The requirement of consolidated returns was 'based upon the principle of levying the tax according to the true net income and invested capital of a single business enterprise, even though the business is operated through more than one corporation.' Treasury Regulations No. 45, article 631.1 In establishing ownership or control of substantially all the stock as the criterion of a business unit, the statute made no distinction between preferred and common stock. It referred simply to 'stock,' and we perceive no ground upon which stock with voting right can be treated as excepted. The Treasury Regulations under the Revenue Act of 1918 regarded the statutory requirement as relating to the 'outstanding voting capital stock (not including stock in the treasury) at the beginning of and during the taxable year.' Regulations No. 45, article 633. The same construction was given by the Department to the corresponding provision of the Revenue Act of 1921. Regulations No. 62, article 633. The Congress, in the Revenue Act of 1924, embodied this construction in the statute itself.2 Section 240(c)(1), 43 Stat. 288 (26 USCA § 993 note). See, also, Revenue Act of 1926, § 240(c)(d), 44 Stat. 46, 26 USCA § 993(c, d); Revenue Act of 1928, § 141(d), 45 Stat. 831 (26 USCA § 2141(d); Revenue Act of 1932, § 141(d), 47 Stat. 213 (26 USCA § 3141(d). Compare Schlafly v. United States (C.C.A.) 4 F. (2d) 195, 200; Ice Service Co. v. Commissioner (C.C.A.) 30 F.(2d) 230, 231; United States v. Cleveland, P. & E.R. Co. (C.C.A.) 42 F.(2d) 413; Commissioner v. City Button Works (C.C.A.) 49 F.(2d) 705.
Nor are we able to conclude that in the instant case the preferred stock with voting right should be excluded because it was redeemable at any time and had a limited interest in dividends. Compare Commissioner v. Shillito Realty Co. (C.C.A.) 39 F.(2d) 830, 69 A.L.R. 1266; United States v. Cleveland, P. & E.R. Co. (C.C.A.) 42 F.(2d) 413. Despite redeemability and the limitation of dividends, the owners of the preferred stock were not in the position of creditors, but were stockholders with a proprietary interest in the corporate undertaking and with a corresponding relation, through the voting right, to the direction of that undertaking. The voting right remained unimpaired until actual redemption. The statute is not concerned with a failure to exercise existing rights, but with what is deemed to be a more certain and adequate test of a unitary enterprise. According to this test, petitioner failed to show affiliation. Burnet v. Howes Brothers Hide Co., 284 U.S. 583, 584, 52 S.Ct. 126, 76 L.Ed. 505.
Article 631 of Regulations No. 45 is as follows:
'Affiliated Corporations.—The provision of the statute requiring affiliated corporations to file consolidated returns is based upon the principle of levying the tax according to the true net income and invested capital of a single business enterprise, even though the business is operated through more than one corporation. Where one corporation owns the capital stock of another corporation or other corporations, or where the stock of two or more corporations is owned by the same interests, a situation results which is closely analogous to that of a business maintaining one or more branch establishments. In the latter case, because of the direct ownership of the property, the invested capital and net income of the branch form a part of the invested capital and net income of the entire organization. Where such branches or units of a business are owned and controlled through the medium of separate corporations, it is necessary to require a consolidated return in order that the invested capital and net income of the entire group may be accurately determined. Otherwise opportunity would be afforded for the evasion of taxation by the shifting of income through price fixing, charges for services and other means by which income could be arbitrarily assigned to one or another unit of the group. In other cases without a consolidated return excessive taxation might be imposed as a result of purely artificial conditions existing between corporations within a controlled group.'
With respect to this provision, the report of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives said: "The requirement that the stock held must be 'voting' stock merely embodies in the law the present rule of the Treasury Department." House Rep. No. 179, 68th Cong., 1st Sess., p. 24.

I work for New York City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, leading the City's planning efforts related to affordable housing development in Queens and Staten Island. In this role, I oversee the planning for the redevelopment of over 100 acres of city-owned land for the purpose of bringing thousands of new affordable housing units into production.
Prior to that, I worked for the City of Newark, New Jersey where I had a variety of planning and development roles over eight years. I worked on downtown redevelopment planning and several neighborhood planning initiatives when I first arrived in Newark, then moved into an economic development role, managing several commercial revitalization programs.
After that, I took over Newark's nascent public art program and helped the program create dozens of murals across the city.
I then managed the City's Planning Board, which grants most discretionary planning approvals. Before I left Newark I oversaw all planning approvals processes for the City, including the Zoning Board and Historic Preservation Commission. Prior to Newark, I was in graduate school, during which I interned for the City of Philadelphia and the City of Oakland, California.
What is your perspective about going from Newark government to New York City government?
I started working in Newark at the beginning of Cory Booker administration. It was an exciting time for new people, ideas and looking at how we could do things differently. Previously, there hadn't been a lot of comprehensive planning, so we had our work ahead of us. We completed a master plan and rewrote the zoning code, a complete overhaul, which hadn't been done in 60 years.
Planning was a priority for the Booker administration and we had ambitious goals. The work we set out to accomplish was completed under next mayor. From this, I learned planning is susceptible to politics of elected officials, as civil servants we are the ones that provide the continuity. It's really been encouraging to me, to learn the value a planner provides in holding steady on the vision and advancing projects. Planners understand neighborhoods, stakeholders and have the relationships that go beyond the cycle of campaigns, the work we do to foster relationships with the community is at the core of creating sustainable change.
It's been interesting to go from a smaller city to the largest city in the U.S. It's given me a new perspective. What I like about a small city is that you have more power and influence even as a younger planner you get a chance to work on a broader breadth of projects. Now, that I've moved to the largest city in the nation, the most notable difference is the number of resources available and experienced planners is impressive.
You have a more limited role in a larger city, with more geographic area and population that creates a tremendous bureaucracy and with that your role narrows. In a smaller city, you have broader responsibilities because there are fewer people while in a large city there is a more defined infrastructure. My Newark job affected 300,00 people. My current role in NYC affects 2 million people.
You work in housing development agency in NYC can you talk more about efforts around incorporating more "community engagement/planning" into what's usually just executed as broad policy?
There is a focus in the de Blasio administration to break down the silos typical of large government. The focus is on neighborhood planning — comprehensive planning — how affordable housing impacts the neighborhood, jobs and other services, such as schools and open spaces.
The city has undergone a lot of development often creating tension with infrastructure, jobs, and housing. We see housing going up that is out of our reach. Our efforts are focused on community engagement to address concerns, and that means we spend a lot of time in the community to make sure that people are being heard.
We go through a process of transparency that focuses on the clarity of and understanding by the public about their involvement in the process. People want to be treated fairly, they might not always agree with the outcome, but they want to be in on the process and that process needs to be fair and open giving them the opportunity to voice their concerns.
How do your professional planning knowledge, skills, and abilities inform your role?
A planner is trained to constantly think about the connections between people and place. As part of this, a planner is always asking questions about this connection, and knowing what questions to ask is critically important to work that impacts the built environment.
Some examples of these questions are: Why do people gather here? Why don't people use this space? Where do people here work and how do they get to work? Where do they shop? Where are the key gathering places in the neighborhood? What's missing from this neighborhood?
My graduate school training lacked a design focus and virtually all my knowledge of site plan review, architecture, GIS and urban design generally was learned on the job.
It's essential to be customer-oriented and have a strong sense of public service. Planning is for the people. And learning how to be responsive to a diverse array of clients, from the big real estate developer to the resident who has virtually no understanding of the planning process, is the most important skill to master.
Some other skills that help are being extremely detail-oriented, exceptionally perceptive to visuals, particularly the built environment, and a broad and deep grasp of economic principles.
A typical day involves a combination of desk work and meetings. On a more limited basis, there is field work including site visits. I do less site and building plan review in my current role than most planners and instead do more evaluation of developer proposals generally, including reviewing financing proposals. Site feasibility analyses and neighborhood planning studies are also a regular part of the work.
Managing a public art program for four years was totally unexpected and was the delight of my career to date. It required the use of planning skill sets that I didn't imagine it would but allowed me exposure to work that many planners do not get to do on a regular basis, including fundraising, youth engagement, and at times physical labor.
I definitely underestimated myself and my abilities and at times did not ask for what I wanted. The times that I've asked for what I've wanted it hasn't always translated to success but the few times it has shown that it's worth it. A closed mouth doesn't get fed.
I believe affordable housing is the number one priority for New York City. If neighborhoods do not continue to be affordable to most New Yorkers. The city is changing rapidly, not only in New York, not just gentrification, as it becomes more expensive the demographics change and housing can abate this to maintain the diversity of the city affordable housing is the way to preserve what it is that makes the city great.
Our work feels like a drop in the bucket. The mayor not only the tremendous need it's a priority #1 issue of the mayor working in housing where housing we're in the public limelight more than other aspects of planning and your priorities are the same as the mayor's which is rarely the case — its very exciting.
Get as much exposure to the field as you can and not just internships but by attending planning meetings, going on informational interviews and keeping up with public discourse on planning and development issues generally.
An internship with the City of Oakland, CA.
I've always loved and been fascinated by cities, downtowns, trains, streets and freeways, I've been drawing maps and buildings since I was a child, so planning was a natural fit.
I volunteer for nonprofits and travel. Traveling is very important as a planner.


We take an aesthetic perspective when we create landscaping features that would otherwise be impossible due to soil erosion, or that compensate for large amounts of human traffic that would cause wear on bare earth or grass. Hardscapes are areas devoted to a landscape made up of hard wearing materials such as stone, concrete and other construction materials, as opposed to soft landscaping like grass, bark and other such items.
Typical small-scale hardscape examples include patios and sidewalks, but it can also include very large features such as paved roads. Retaining walls are often used to create boundaries between hardscapes and landscaping features. Water features are technically hardscapes because they require a barrier to retain the water, instead of letting it drain into the surrounding soil.

Bitcoin's Price May Have Been Manipulated to Skyrocket Over 600 Percent
It's a stark warning for the market.
Bitcoin's price may have been manipulated by traders seeking to shoot the price up with suspicious activity. New research found suspicious activity in the years-old transaction logs of the ill-fated Mt. Gox exchange, which went from handling 70 percent of all bitcoin transactions to declaring bankruptcy in 2014 after losing over 800,000 bitcoins. It appears a number of accounts automatically pushed the price up with bot-powered trades.
The research, conducted by teams at the University of Tulsa and Tel Aviv University and published in the Journal of Monetary Economics this month, looked into transactions on Mt. Gox between February and November 2013. The team found that a single account named "Markus," which was missing location data, seemingly never paid transaction fees and paid random prices for the bitcoins. A total of 335,898 bitcoins worth $76 million were accredited to his account over 225 days.
It gets weirder. Another 49 accounts that were also missing important data, grouped by the researchers under the name "Willy Bot" for their habit of purchasing exactly $2.5 million in bitcoins before stopping, bought 268,132 bitcoins over the course of 65 days, action which was strongly correlated to a price spike that moved from $150 to $1,000 during that same period, a near-700 percent rise. "Markus" and "Willy Bot" accounted for an average of 21 percent and 18 percent of Mt. Gox's daily activity respectively while they were active.
Ultimately, Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy in Japan in February 2014, after admitting it had lost $450 million worth of bitcoins. It wasn't until March 2017 that bitcoin's price finally recovered from the Mt. Gox shock and started to surge to its current price of $12,033, fueled by a larger wave of cryptocurrency excitement.

However, the researchers warn in the paper that today's market is susceptible to similar shifts. With nearly 900 "altcoins" on the market, many of these smaller tokens will have the same low levels of trading as seen in bitcoin's past. Similar manipulation could cause the same spikes and drops.

Top 10 K-Pop Artists to Watch in 2018
2017 was the year K-pop finally broke in the United States. BTS made their American television debut that spring on the Billboard Music Awards, snagging the title of Top Social Artist – and breaking Justin Bieber's six-year winning streak. In November, the band returned to perform at the 2017 American Music Awards, paying additional visits to Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden on their late night TV run. Their 2017 EP Love Yourself: Her has now spent 27 weeks on the Billboard 200 – the first K-pop release ever to do so – and their singles "DNA" and "MIC Drop (Remix)," the group's collaboration with Steve Aoki and Desiigner, were both certified gold. Their next full-length album, due May 18th, has already topped Amazon's sales chart with preorders alone.
For most American viewers, BTS was their first taste of K-pop since Psy's viral 2012 hit, "Gangnam Style." But while the seven-member boy group are nothing like Psy, they feel familiar in different ways: their carefully coordinated outfits and dance moves made some nostalgic for One Direction, or even the boy band golden era of the Nineties. But beneath BTS' glossy surface lies an elaborate and deliberate infrastructure. Music, lyrics, and production – all of which the members have a hand in – work in tandem with wardrobe, visuals and meticulously crafted narratives to create an interactive experience for fans on social media. While the detective work is par for the course for long-time followers, it's a crafty way to keep newer fans hooked.
And BTS isn't the only Korean act gliding into the American consciousness with smooth moves and tresses. The captivating spectacle that is K-pop – conceptual staging, powerful choreography, crazy-catchy melodies, and dynamic performers – has captivated listeners around the globe. After his departure from boy group 2PM, Seattle-born singer-rapper Jay Park hustled hard and started his own label before signing to Roc Nation last year. And at the 2018 Winter Olympics, Korean hip-hop queen CL and boy group EXO closed out the games with high-octane performances. While K-pop idols may just be starting to gain traction in the general public United States, their fandoms are powerful enough to sell out arena tours in mere minutes. Here are 10 more acts on the rise.
After placing fourth on the wildly popular girl-group–making survival show, Produce 101 – think Making the Band but 101 times bigger and more intense – a star was born in Chungha. As per the premise of the show, she cut her teeth as part of 11-member girl group I.O.I for a year. Yet Chungha's sharp dance moves and sophisticated presence would set her apart from the others, earning her the nickname "Dance President." Now that she no longer has to share the spotlight, we can bask in the full range of her charms. In her latest single, "Roller Coaster," Chungha's supple voice simulates the ride, rising, falling and looping with ease.
Day6 may be signed to one of the biggest K-pop labels in Korea, but they're not the average K-pop band: They like their pop with a little rock & roll. Sungjin and Jae dominate on guitar, Young K on the bass, Dowoon on the drums, and Wonpil on keyboard and synths. In 2017 the band worked on a year-long project called Every Day6, in which they released a single and B-side on the sixth of every month. The final installment in the series, "I Like You," starts like a classic-rock ballad and swells into an explosive, soap-opera–worthy declaration of love. After a long time spent holding back for fear of ruining a good thing, Day6 finally let it all out, culminating in a cathartic shout from the rooftops (depicted quite literally in the music video).
Hyolyn
As a former member of the wildly successful group Sistar, vocalist Hyolyn has racked up more experience than most other acts on this list – and she's just getting started. But now that the group has disbanded and she's setting off on her own, she also has a lot more to prove. Best known for her mighty vocal range and her group's fun and flirty repertoire, Hyolyn is now readying music on her very own label, bride (stylized as brídʒ). In her first independent release, "To Do List," the singer laments staying busy to keep her mind off the ex – meanwhile flaunting all the colors of her voice. The sexy follow-up, "Dally," gives the cold shoulder to an ex-lover trying to resuscitate a long-dead relationship. Hyolyn glows as always, but it's her enticing and commanding choreography that keeps her ahead of the pack.
Jeon Soyeon
Another Produce 101 alum making a name for herself is scrappy rapper Jeon Soyeon. Her buoyant 2017 debut song, "Jelly," was a pleasant surprise, considering she'd been on the down-low since competing on Produce 101, followed by TV rap competition, Unpretty Rapstar in 2016. Jeon Soyeon unlocks her inner actress and master storyteller in "Idle Song," where she considers shaking up a stale relationship to see if it's worth saving. She owns the role of lethargic girlfriend but her flow doesn't suffer for it, remaining characteristically sharp as ever. Although she can clearly hold her own as a soloist, Soyeon will soon join the ranks of Cube Entertainment's newest girl group, (G)-Idle.
Jo Woochan, Park Hyunjin and Achillo
They may be barely out of grade school, but 13-year-olds Jo Woochan, Park Hyunjin and Achillo are already bolder than rappers twice their age. Their latest song is titled "OGZ" – which is a mash-up of the term O.G. and Korean word ojida, meaning brilliant and talented. The song delivers just that: a trio of gifted young rappers unafraid to let listeners know just how exceptional they are. Jo Woochan has appeared on televised rap competition Show Me the Money, where he outlasted most of the much older and more seasoned contestants, and Park Hyunjin won the last season of K-pop Star, a TV competition à la American Idol in which three entertainment companies audition artists to find the next big thing. But it's Achillo, the only one of the three without reality-TV fame, who brings the most bite in his verse. He goes straight for the jugular and calls out the struggling rappers of Seoul's hip Hongdae district for not rapping as much as they "puff and pass." These three rappers are cute as heck, but they also write a mean verse and deliver it with the kind of bravado that only teenage boys could muster.
Thanks to their unconventional debut strategy, girl group Loona have already amassed a strong global following. Since October of 2016, each member has revealed themselves each month with a single and music video. From the dramatic strings of HaSeul's "Let Me In," to YeoJin's cute and theatrical "Kiss Later" and Kim Lip's smoldering "Eclipse," the members of Loona have already shown impressive range in song and character. All the while they've been building their elaborate Loonaverse with members' stories overlapping – inspiring online study groups to decode all their music videos and examine the relationships between them. Even Kim Chi (of RuPaul's Drag Race fame) is on board, tweeting almost daily about her love for the group. The 12th and final member of the group, Olivia Hye, was revealed last month. Her single, "Egoist," echoes the sentiments of fellow member Go Won's self-love anthem, "One & Only," and reinforces the triumph of a post-breakup rebirth by crashing synths – leaving a song as expansive as the world Loona has created.
For those easing into K-pop, energetic girl group Momoland will help make the transition smoother. With a playful sensibility, the group's nine members each bring their own touch of whimsy to the mix. Fans of BTS may recognize tendrils of "DNA" in the bass line of Momoland's latest track, "BBoom BBoom." The group shows off their campy side in the song's cable-shopping-network–inspired video, selling everything from makeup to soft drinks to plungers – including a surprise rap break – with all the enthusiasm and overacting of the best infomercials. Perhaps this year the public will finally buy what Momoland is selling.
NCT (Neo Culture Technology)
NCT is SM Entertainment's boy group of the future. Comprised of 18 members (so far), NCT is the label's most ambitious project, designed for optimal global reach. The full lineup charged onto the scene last week with their potent single, "Black on Black" – although they've previously released music as smaller sub-units. The sexy kingpins of NCT U, the more rowdy NCT 127, and the most junior group, NCT Dream were the first groups to debut – and they are primed for world domination. But it's "Baby Don't Stop," the latest release spotlighting Ten and Taeyong of NCT U, that really affirms their boss status. The crafty bass line, Taeyong's confident rapping and Ten's sensual singing make for a mesmerizing performance piece. The label intends to add even more members, based in different cities around the world.
Dreamy girl group Oh My Girl debuted in 2015 with the bright and bubbly "Cupid" and has consistently delivered solid singles since. After exploring a range of styles over the past couple of years with mixed reception, Oh My Girl finally cemented themselves as a serious pop contender with this year's exquisite "Secret Garden." But their latest effort, "Banana Allergy Monkey," takes the ethereal brightness of their last single into dangerously kooky-cute territory. With sweet and silly choreography to match, the song centers a monkey with an unfortunate allergy. Even though its humor easily befits a children's TV show, "Banana Allergy Monkey" is a bona fide summer jam.
Half-Korean, half-Mexican singer and dancer Samuel Kim Arredondo has been training to be a K-pop star since he was 11. He first trained with pop group Seventeen before forming one half of short-lived hip hop duo 1Punch – but he made his real breakout as a contender in the second season of Produce 101. Showing strong performances throughout the competition and consistently ranking high in audience votes, Samuel seemed like a shoo-in for the final group. But in one of the season's biggest surprises, he placed 18th in the final round. Resilient as ever, the now 16-year-old performer debuted as a soloist shortly after the show with his carefree single, "Sixteen." Everything about his latest offering is best described as slick – his dance moves, his self-assured lyrics, even the glossy sheen of his hair.

One of the most interesting film-making trends of the last few years has been the resurgence of film itself. Until recently, digital cameras appeared to have their foot on the neck of cellulose and there was little prospect of film ever breaking free from the manifest advantages offered by the latest technology.
But there's a relationship with light provided by film which never quite be matched by digital and lots of film-makers have been returning to it.
Electric Theatre Collective colourist Luke Morrison is a huge fan of film and he's absolutely delighted to have access to a new piece of technology which enables him to scan film in real time: "It's back to the future!" he exclaimed with glee when we sat down in his grading suite at ETC's Margaret Street HQ to discuss the kit and its possibilities.
Scanning film was an aspect of his job when he started his career and as someone who still prefers to take photographs using film, he's absolutely delighted for it to be making such a comeback in his working life.
It's back to the future!
The output is Ultra HD and the kit is so advanced that it only requires minor adjustments from an operator before scanning the next job. And because it operates in real-time, it's then immediately ready for Morrison's digital wizardry, making it absolutely the best of both worlds.
Morrison feels the resurgence in film is likely to continue but it will always be horses for courses: "It depends what you're going for. Film is right for certain purposes and certain looks, it has an inherent quality that we're all used to seeing.
"A lot of us have grown up with that medium and when digital capture came in everyone was always trying to emulate film. And people are now realising you can just shoot on film and costs will actually come down."
This point is a good reminder that digital capture still uses the language of film - a lot of the settings on a digital camera are based on the relationship between cellulose and light. This demonstrates that the idea of film still dominates film-making, even when film itself is absent.
The advent of companies like Cinelab who bravely offered a niche service developing film on a bespoke basis just as the format appeared to have reached its low point, have played a vital part in film's revival.
And that is clearly set to continue with ETC's new offer, and because of Luke Morrison's own love of film, he's really excited about all the possibilities ahead.

The NIH eRA Reduces Vulnerabilities and Enhances Cybersecurity Posture
September 20, 2022 Case Study
Guidehouse collaborates with the National Institutes of Health's Office of Electronic Research Administration to improve security controls, respond to concerns and third-party inquiries, and enhance its overall cybersecurity posture.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) accomplishes its mission by conducting and supporting research in the US and abroad, helping train research investigators, and fostering communication of biomedical information.
Each year, the NIH awards more than $30 billion in research and non-research grants through the Office of Electronic Research Administration (eRA). Applicants and grantees at more than 38,000 institutions worldwide use the eRA system to apply for, process, review, receive, report on, and monitor these funds. This makes eRA a prime target for bad actors seeking to defraud the NIH, intercept and redirect research funds, or conduct other nefarious activities.
In 2020, the NIH awarded Guidehouse a three-year eRA Cybersecurity and Audit Support project. In doing so, Guidehouse collaborates with the eRA to identify improvements to security controls, enhance its overall security posture, and respond to concerns and third-party inquiries. This project includes application and infrastructure security testing and security operations, training, and audit support.
Application and Infrastructure Security Testing
Guidehouse conducts hundreds of internal- and external-facing website tests to identify potential vulnerabilities. Experts then work with systems developers, engineers, and change professionals to improve awareness and practices around DevSecOps and software.
Security Operations, Training, and Audit Support
Guidehouse helped the NIH increase eRA's audit preparedness and efficiency by supporting engineers and administrators to produce better reporting and keep track of evolving regulations, technologies, and threats. This includes providing training for more than 30 people on advanced threat-hunting techniques and tactics, such as refined search thresholds and alternative source reconnaissance.
Guidehouse experts also work side-by-side with teams on security engineering and operations, including the development of improved security policies and procedures, new tool implementation and adoption, enhanced system monitoring, and overall improved security posture of eRA applications.
Reduced mean time to closure of security vulnerabilities by nearly 50% through implementation of application vulnerability management solution.
Material reduction in the identification of cross-site scripting and application account security vulnerabilities via multiple targeting trainings.
Enhanced cyber resiliency by preventing future risks.
During an annual conference in March 2022, the US Department of Health and Human Services recognized Guidehouse's work as instrumental in maturing the eRA's system cybersecurity posture, risk remediation, and audit preparedness.
Ranked the second largest healthcare consulting firm in 2022 by Modern Healthcare, Guidehouse has delivered cybersecurity solutions to commercial and public sector organizations, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Anthem, and multiple healthcare providers. Our team includes experts formerly responsible for protecting U.S. national security systems against cyberthreats.

Arrive on time. Warm-ups usually begin one-half hour before the contest begins.
Try not to bring small children who are not entered in the contest. They get bored very quickly. The bleachers can be dangerous if a child is left unattended even momentarily. They also tend to want to walk out on the floor and join the performers.
The upper-middle-center section of the bleachers is reserved for the judges during Team Competition. Do not sit there until after all of the teams have twirled.
Do not get up and walk in front of the judges while any team is performing. Do not allow your children to do this. This is one of the rudest mistakes you can make. You do not want to obstruct the judges' views. Wait until after the team has twirled, then move quickly to your destination. You will have plenty of time.
It is a terrific goodwill gesture to patronize the host's snack bar and raffle. The contest entry fees do not cover the costs of running a contest.
Do not disturb a parent who is trying to watch her(his) child's category. You may cause them to miss a score. Make sure your children abide by this rule too.
Never take flash pictures. Your twirler can be disqualified for this offense. The flash can cause a twirler to have an accident. You may take video pictures from the stands, not on the floor.
It is your responsibility to make sure that your child is in the right lane at the correct set. If your twirler misses his/her turn, he/she will not get another chance!
Do not allow your twirler to practice at the ends of the gym. This really disturbs the judges. Usually there is a practice area where they can go. However, always know where they are so that they do not miss their set.
Try to keep negative comments about the judges and your child's competitors to yourself. This can be very difficult! You never know who can hear you and it really does not help your child or your club. We must all practice good sportsmanship and remember that we are here for the children. We want to teach good habits.
Do not approach a judge and question a decision. That is never done. It is up to your coach to communicate with the judges at another time.
When you leave, please clean up all of your papers, cups, cans, etc. It is usually the parents in the contest promoter's club who have to clean up the gym.

"incredible.... Mr. Walker seems to know everything about Liszt, and anything connected with Liszt, during every single day of the long life of that genius."
England-Canada
VIDEOS/SERIES
Dr. Walker's three-volume, prize winning biography of Franz Liszt, was a project which took him twenty-five years to complete, and for which the President of Hungary bestowed on him the medal Pro Cultura Hungarica. The biography also received the Royal Philharmonic Society Prize, presented by HRH The Duke of Kent in London.
ALAN WALKER is Professor Emeritus of Music at McMaster University, Canada. Before settling in North America he was on the staff of the Music Division of the British Broadcasting Corporation in London, where he produced some of the world's leading pianists. He has broadcast for the BBC, for the CBC, and for CJRT - FM (Toronto), and gives regular public lectures on the music of the Romantic Era. His thirteen published books include A Study in Musical Analysis, An Anatomy of Musical Criticism, and symposia on Chopin, Schumann, and Liszt.
Time Magazine hailed the biography as 'a textured portrait of Liszt and his times without rival'. The Wall Street Journal called it 'the definitive work to which all subsequent Liszt biographies will aspire.' The Washington Post selected it as a Book of the Year.
For more than a decade Alan Walker worked on a large-scale biography of Fryderyk Chopin, which was finally published in October 2018. It has been described by The Sunday Times of London as 'monumental' and 'the most comprehensive biography of the great Polish composer to appear in English'. The New York Times called it 'a magisterial portrait', while The Economist selected it as 'one of the best books of the year.'
For his services to music, McMaster University bestowed on Alan Walker the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa. More recently the Government of Hungary inducted him into one of its highest civilian honours: the Knight's Cross of Merit of the Republic of Hungary.

Women make up more than half the population of Nepal today and they will continue to be the majority of Nepal in 2030 too!
To mark the 2018 International Women's Day, here are six data visualizations to show the status of women in Nepal.
The proportion of women who were employed was only 68% in 2016 compared to 83% in 2006.
"Among employed respondents, women are almost three times more likely than men not to be paid (52% versus 16%)," according to the demographic and health survey (PDF) by the Government of Nepal.
One in four women in Nepal experienced spousal violence in 2016. While that number is very high, it has declined since 2011 when 32% of women or one in three experienced spousal violence.
Spousal violence in the Terai region is high compared to other regions. One in three women in the Terai reported spousal violence. Women in Province 2 (37%) are most likely to experience spousal physical, sexual, or emotional violence, and those in Province 4 (16%) least likely to do so.
Explore the map to see the level of spousal violence by Provinces in Nepal.
More than one in four women agree that wife beating is justified under a specific circumstance.
"The proportion of women who consider wife beating justifiable under specific circumstances increased from 23% in 2006 to 29% in 2016. The proportion among men increased marginally, from 21% to 23%.
In 2017, proportion of seats held by women in national parliament of Nepal was about 30% like that of in 2016, 2015 and 2014. In 2013, proportion of seats held by women in Nepal's national parliament was 33.2%.
Almost one out of every three households in Nepal is headed by a female. Evidence strongly suggests that this trend is a result of migration as most migrants are male and family heads.
In 1991, only 17% of Nepali women (15 years or older) were literate. In 2015, almost 57% of women were literate.
Education is the most important way to empower women. In last quarter century, women's literacy rate has increased almost three times. There is still a long way to go when all women of Nepal will be literate.
What do you think about the status of women in Nepal? Tell us in the comments below.

Fresh disappointment as public support for Labour drops to match low of 1983
Peter Edwards
Labour's public support has fallen to its joint lowest point in opposition since 1983, according to a new poll.
The party has slipped to a rating of 24 per cent, the Times/YouGov said this week.
The survey also put the Tories on 39 per cent, UKIP on 14 per cent and the Lib Dems on 12 per cent.
Labour is at its joint lowest level of support while in opposition since July 1983.
The results, which were published yesterday, will intensify pressure on Jeremy Corbyn at a time when the direction of the Labour party is featuring heavily in the battle between Len McCluskey and his challenger for the general secretary's post at Unite the union.
McCluskey was quoted as saying that Corbyn and John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, were not "desperate to cling on to power for power's sake" in light of Labour's poor poll ratings, but later insisted the Mirror had not represented his views, saying that the party leader had his "full support".
Corbyn has vowed to turn around Labour's poll rating and last month told LabourList that he would use the mass membership to deliver key campaigns on Tory neglect of the NHS and opposing austerity.

5 Retirement Planning Myths to Steer Clear Of | Credit Consultants Corp.
When it comes to retirement planning, the last thing you can afford to do is listen to bad advice. The choices you make now can have a significant impact on your financial future, even if you've still got decades before you leave the 9-to-5 behind.
When you're trying to launch your career and juggling credit cards or student loan debt, finding extra money to put toward retirement may seem impossible. Telling yourself that you'll get started with saving once you get a raise or land your dream job sounds harmless enough but it's really an excuse that comes with a high price tag.
The longer you put off saving, the more money you're costing yourself in the long run in the form of unrealized gains as part of your retirement planning.
Let's say you contribute $5,000 a year to your retirement fund starting at age 25. Assuming an annual rate of return of 6%, your account will be worth nearly $775,000 by age 65. Now, assume you wait until you're 45 to start saving that same amount. Using the same rate of return, you'd only have about $183,000 saved once you turn 65.
When you run the numbers, it becomes immediately apparent how much you stand to shortchange yourself by delaying your savings in retirement planning. Even if you can only afford to start chipping in $50 or $100 a month it's much better than trying to play catch-up later on.
If you're enrolled in a 401(k) or a similar plan that offers matching contributions, thinking you only need to put in enough to qualify for the match is a mistake in retirement planning.
Typically, employers offer to match every dollar you save up to a certain amount of your compensation, which usually ranges from 3-6%. While you should definitely be putting in at least the minimum to get the most free money possible, you shouldn't assume it'll be enough to meet your retirement needs.
For 2014, you could max out your 401(k) to the tune of $17,500 or $23,000 if you're over age 50. That's something you should consider doing if you've got enough wiggle room to go ahead and up your elective deferrals in your retirement planning. Not only are you padding your savings even more, you're reducing your taxable income which can definitely work in your favor once tax season hits.
One of the errors people tend to make when it comes to retirement planning is thinking that their 401(k) is the end-all, be-all of saving but it's really just the tip of the iceberg.
Supplementing your savings with an individual retirement account allows you to squirrel away even more cash while enjoying some additional tax breaks.
With a traditional IRA, the money you put in is usually tax-deductible based on your income and whether you're covered by an employer's plan.
A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax dollars and you don't have to pay taxes on the money once you start making qualified withdrawals. The current contribution limit for either type of account is $5,500 plus an additional $1,000 if you're over 50. That adds up to some serious savings if you're already maxing out your employer's plan.
The standard rule has been that you should be saving 15% of your income for retirement planning But in today's economic climate, it doesn't always apply.
Workers who are middle-aged or getting closer to retirement are increasingly finding themselves providing financial support for aging parents or adult children who are battling one of the toughest job markets in history. Not only that, but they're living longer which means their savings need to be able to stretch even more.
Assuming that your expenses will be lower in retirement because your house will be paid off or you plan to scale back your lifestyle is a fallacy. An unexpected illness or the loss of your spouse if you're married can be a major blow financially.
Looking at the bigger picture to decide how much you'll realistically need to live on and what you need to set aside as a safety net is a smart way to cover all the bases.
According to an April 2014 Gallup poll, the average age for retirement in the U.S. has climbed to 62. Nearly half of those surveyed said the average age at which they expect to retire is 66 and one in 10 said they would likely continue working indefinitely.
The poll found that overall, baby boomers are more reluctant to retire because they saw their savings take a massive hit in the wake of the recent recession.
While there's nothing wrong with working past retirement age if you need to or if you just enjoy getting out of the house, it shouldn't be the cornerstone of your financial strategy for retirement planning.
If you end up developing a serious illness or you suddenly become disabled, continuing to work may cease to be a possibility. Even if you have disability insurance or you qualify for Social Security, it may not be enough to cover the gap.
Everyone's path for retirement planning looks different and unfortunately, there's not a road map that spells out where the right and wrong turns are. If you've taken a few detours along the way and bought into any of these myths, it's not too late to turn things around.
The more knowledgeable you are about your financial situation and what your retirement needs are, the easier it is to find the most direct route to your goals when doing retirement planning.
