This is a leek. Sweet and delicious but huge!
Finely chop the leek and add half to all the other ingredients (except the sauce).
Heat some sesame oil in a large frying pan and fry the other half of the leeks. This will sweeten the whole dish.
Fry for one minute then slowly pour in the mixture at Step 2 and spread evenly.
Pan fry for 3 minutes on medium heat. Turn it over carefully and fry again for another 3 minutes. It's ready.
Enjoy with the any favourite sauce!
To make it crispy this time, I used potato starch as 40% of the flour amount. In supermarkets, you often see packs of 3 leeks - this recipe will use up any leftover leeks in one go.

Turn regular baked beans into a savory, spicy side that everyone loves with a few burnt ends added to the foray. Kansas City-style burnt ends are the last part of the cut of brisket, and these tender pieces of beef make great little chunks of meat to go in stews, soups and beans. You can find burnt ends at your local butcher shop, specialty meat store or barbecue restaurant by the pound. Beans combined with the meat provide protein and fiber to go along with plenty of flavor. When the beans simmer with the meat, the flavors mix and the beef gets even juicier than it was before. The fix-and-forget homemade beans cook in a slow cooker all day so everything is tender by dinner time.
Soak the beans overnight in cold water, and then drain them completely. Place the beans in a cast-iron casserole dish, and cover them with enough water to stand 1/2 inch above the beans.
Bring the beans to a boil, and let them simmer for 30 minutes or until they are tender. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook the bacon until crisp, or about five to six minutes. Chop the onion into coarse pieces, and add the onion to the bacon with about three minutes left to go on the meat.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces, and then add it to the casserole with the beans. Place the browned onions in the casserole as well.
Add the molasses, light brown sugar, ketchup, pickle juice and dry mustard to the casserole. Cover and bake for three hours in the oven.
Replace water in the casserole as needed to keep the beans covered by 1/2 inch. Stir the casserole occasionally.
Chop the burnt ends into cubes, and stir them into the casserole after three hours of baking in the oven. Bake for an additional 1 1/2 hours, uncovered, to let the flavors blend.

Sprue Stories
Meet Celia: A Gluten-Free American Girl
Last week, we took a look inside the lunch box of a modern American Girl doll. There were sandwich skewers. The times, they are a'changin'—why, the only accessory my Samantha doll had was a comb.
The accessories aren't all that have kept pace with our modern era. The books have, too. They used to focus on the historical American Girls and followed a great six-book formula: we meet the protagonist, she learns new things about herself and the world, she overcomes obstacles, she comes out of it a changed and better person. All between the ages of nine and eleven.
These days, they publish under the series American Girl Today. There are fewer books for each girl, and they have modern names like Nicki and McKenna. They pose against technicolor backgrounds doing modern-girl things like gymnastics.
I don't mean to knock the new books—I haven't even read them. But they did have a good thing going with the old series. In honor of the beloved classic formula, I hereby introduce to you a new American Girl. Like more and more girls (and boys) today, our heroine must eat gluten-free. I've dubbed her, for obvious reasons, Celia.
This is her story.
Meet Celia: An American Girl
Celia awakens on a hospital cart, still groggy from the sedative, and is told, "We think you have it." A week later, it's confirmed: she has celiac disease. Her life will irrevocably change. It is a sad beginning.
Celia Learns a Lesson: A School Story
The moral of this one is: never trust the hot lunch. Celia is glutened again and again until she finally agrees to start brown-bagging it.
Celia's Surprise: A Christmas Story
At her first gluten-free Christmas, Celia is shocked by the beany aftertaste in the sugar cookies her mother has prepared, but pleasantly surprised to learn that most candy canes are gluten-free.
Happy Birthday, Celia!: A Springtime Story
In which Celia learns that she probably only has this stupid disease in the first place because she was born in the springtime. However, her King Arthur Flour GF birthday cake (like mine!) is pretty tasty.
Celia Saves The Day: A Summer Story
Celia can't eat what the other girls are having in the camp mess hall, and when they make pasta necklaces she feels understandably left out. Still, it turns out to be worth it when, uninflamed and energized, she joins her tentmates for the end-of-summer relay race. At the finish line, she raises the baton in victory.
Changes for Celia: A Winter Story
Despite the chilly weather, Celia begins to feel awfully thirsty all the time, even while consuming jugs and jugs of water. She also seems to be peeing it all out every twenty-five minutes. After dropping an unneeded fifteen pounds, Celia visits the doctor and learns there will be changes indeed: like 5 to 10 percent of her celiac peers, she has type I diabetes. She'll need to not only avoid gluten but also learn the ups and downs of managing her blood sugar. She's a positive little thing, though, with a pioneering American spirit, so to her it's all just another exciting challenge.
Do you admire Celia's unremitting pluck, or do you sorta hate her for it?
I'm on the fence. I don't think I have diabetes, per se, but after reading Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic (which claims that the likelihood of having an associated autoimmune disease rises to 30 percent for those diagnosed after the age of 20…gulp), I've begun my fretting in earnest. If I do turn out to have something else on top of celiac disease, I won't be taking the news cheerfully.
You'll note I didn't place Celia in a particular historical moment like her peers, colonial Felicity or Victorian Samantha. Those historical dolls are now being laid to rest, one by one, along with their accessories, in the "archives" (though the books, fortunately, will remain in print). Samantha, my favorite (and many of yours), was "retired" in 2008, and it was recently announced that Molly will be next.
We must accept that the past is past, unsaleable to the girls of today. We must look forward to new American Girls who better resemble the girls of today and tomorrow.
Celia lives at a time when celiac disease is better understood and more researched, but still diagnosed late, with attending complications, and incurable except by means of a lifelong diet whose cred is being rapidly eroded by claims about "fads." In short, she lives today. We can only hope that one day, with celiac and other autoimmune diseases vaccinated into oblivion, Celia too will be rendered a historical figure, hopelessly out of date, a relic fit only for the archive.
What are your summer, spring, and winter celiac stories? What changes and surprises have you encountered (birthday or otherwise)? Do you have other autoimmune diseases and were you diagnosed before or after learning you had celiac? Have you come across any great new celiac-disease-themed kids' books recently?
P.S. There's still time to enter my giveaway (it runs through Tuesday) by taking the celiac disease personality quiz and reporting your score. Check it out this weekend, if you aren't spending it at the GFAF Expo. If you are, see you there!

Sprue Review
I'm a gluten-free American Girl, in a nut-allergic Barbie world
When I was a kid, I had an American Girl doll. Samantha, to be precise. (No Molly doll for this Molly.) I loved Samantha dearly.
My parents made clear that I was also to love her carefully: this doll would be the most expensive thing in my personal possession for a very long time, and there would be no trips to the "doll hospital."
Because of the dolls' exorbitant price point, my sister (who did, by a twist of fate, have the Molly doll) and I weren't really supposed to play with them, per se, more like take them out occasionally to gaze upon. And we certainly didn't have a closet full of accessories.
However, there is in fact a whole world of American Girl extras to discover—a customizable wardrobe to rival that of Barbie. For example, did you know that there's an allergy-free lunch accessory? It's true!
The set includes a customizable food allergy bracelet, an EpiPen, and a healthful lunch. It's adorable and inclusive—a great idea, though pardon me while I make fun of a few things:
Photo © American Girl
1. What is a "sandwich skewer," and why was that their best idea for a food-allergy-free lunch? Those brown bits look like bread to me, and though it could be wheat-free, it's unclear. If the lunch was going to include bread anyway, why not a sandwich? If I were a kid already self-conscious about food allergies, the last thing I'd want is a conspicuously different lunch.
2. Why the cloth lunch bag? I suppose it's safe for those with latex allergies, but a bento box would be, too—not to mention way more stylish.
3. Where's the dessert? Don't even pretend to count the "berry smoothie."
4. In general, it pales in comparison with the "normal" lunch, which boasts a brownie, more fruit than vegetables, a cute "stackable" design, a purple spork, a sandwich cut into the shape of a daisy, and a FOLD-OUT PLACEMAT. Moms and dads, take note. That's how you say "I love you" with a lunch.
5. The price is crazy (though at least it costs the same as the regular lunch—unrealistically, since safe foods tend to be more expensive, and let's not get started on the EpiPen, which in real life go for over $200 a two-pack). At $28 per lunch, I would probably tell my future little American girl to just use her imagination.
Then again, that feeling of being a Normal American Girl? Priceless.
Like I said, this idea is adorable and inclusive. However, I would like to state for the record that it's not really inclusive of the little gluten-free American girls running around out there, most of whom will never lay hands on an EpiPen (and should consider themselves fortunate for it).
I propose that the next $28 add-on be a gluten-free kit, including:
packets of wheat-free soy sauce
a shrink-wrapped gluten-free cookie with a big honking CERTIFIED symbol on the front
a pair of reading glasses, prematurely acquired from squinting at food labels
a toaster bag and tongs for tiny gluten-free bread slices
& some GlutenTox gluten test kits for those "safe" classroom snacks.
Now doesn't that sound nice?
What else would you add? How you feel about the idea of food-allergy/gluten-free dolls? Would you buy this toy for a child? What are other ways to help kids understand food restrictions?
By the way, while there is no food-allergy Barbie—that I know of—I did come across an older post on the now-inactive blog No Peanuts Please about a "homemade" peanut- and egg-allergic Barbie. Worth a read, whether you hate Barbie or love her.
Food-allergy Barbie is not a vegetarian.

Of course, what I really loved, more than any accessory and perhaps even more than my doll, were the books…so next week, I plan to post my spin on a celiac American Girl series. In the meantime, I'm taking name suggestions in the comments.

Security! Mobilize!! Lhota Fears For His Safety In Brooklyn Heights If De Blasio Becomes Mayor
By Homer Fink on October 27, 2013 8:10 am in Election 13
Politicker reports that GOP mayoral candidate/ Brooklyn Heights resident Joe Lhota fears that crime will skyrocket everywhere in the city if his opponent Bill de Blasio is elected in November. Asked whether he would fear for his own safety in and around his posh Pierrepont Street digs he replied, "Abosolutely".
Politicker: Speaking at a press conference this morning, Mr. Lhota highlighted a relatively small sample to make his point: a 28-day report noting eight shootings, five rapes and 57 robberies occurred in Flatbush's 67th precinct, all up from a year ago. Mr. Lhota argued Bill de Blasio's support of City Council legislation designed to curtail the police's controversial stop-and-frisk would only make things worse.
"We've been now through two debates, several quiet weeks for Mr. de Blasio and not once has there been a policy that he's offered that would keep New Yorkers safe," Mr. Lhota charged. "A lot of ideas are pie in the sky but not one that deals directly with public safety."
One thing is for sure, if Joe decides to ride a bike regularly the nabe's outlaw posse will most definitely rise by one.
Publisher's note: The headline is inspired by The Fall's 'Lie Dream of a Casino Soul'. We know at least three BHB readers will get the reference.

Many GOP candidates run on the fear platform (thinly disguised as "law and order". Remember when Giuliani was arguing his final term should be extended because no one else could be trusted to run the city in crisis? It sounds laughable now, but he was serious. This is similar fear mongering.
As a registered Democrat who remembers what went on in this city back in the 70s 80s and 90s I shudder to think what will happen to this city if New Yorkers elected the "progressive" DeBlasio (Warren Wilhelm Jr).
First and foremost, DeBlasio will end "stop-and-frisk". What does this mean? Well, it means that as of next January the thugs (of all races!) go back to carrying guns, because they lose the fear of stop-and-frisk that brought the murder and armed mugging rates down. Make no mistake, the end of stop-and-frisk means a return to 1970's and 1980's style muggings (which will hit minority and poor communities hardest, but will also affect ALL of us as we and our loved ones face ubiquitous armed crime again, if Chas Veshalom DeBlasio is elected.
Then there is the subject of the divided city we USED TO HAVE before Giuliani brought the law abiding citizens of all races and backgrounds together. I.E. Before Giuliani – that is under Dinkins DeBlasio, we had the anti-Asian Boycotts of 1990, the anti-Jewish riots of 1991 (which Governor Cuomo's Girgenti report calls the worst anti-Jewish rioting in US history, and the riots in Washington Heights in 1992 when Latino citizens were victimized while the Dinkins DeBlasio progressives coddled drug dealers and rioters, leaving the Latino community at the mercy of thugs and rioters.
The bottom line is that we HAD a divided city full of violence BACK when DeBlasio Dinkins progressives were in charge. Because the DeBlasio "progressives" make excuses for crime, riots and boycotts instead of recognizng that the rioters and criminals are NOT representative.
I am voting for Lhota, because I saw what happened to this city when the progressives ran it.
It was broken and divided, when the progressives ran things.
And the Giuliani Lhota style not only made us safer, it also ended the era of "progressive" muggings of us law abiding citizens, of all races.
Fearing the Future
Registered, liberal Democrat here and I couldn't agree with you more. DeBlasio is an empty suit.
Joe A
Ridiculous. The desperation of the right is palpable in their over the top, screeching, fear mongering. Vote for my guy or the world will come to an end!. Do you really think that will work for you? Do you really think that New Yorkers are so stupid as to believe that voting for a progressive will cause our loved ones to face ubiquitous armed crime again?
And don't think we missed the subtle racist undertones to this sort of garbage. Shame on Lhota and his supporters for slithering around in the gutter and trying to scare voters.
I suspect DeBlasio will win in a landslide partially as a rebuke to this type of campaigning.
petercow
"Stop and Frisk" is coming to an end no matter who the mayor is. It' been found to be un-constitutional.

private internet access reddit
Some people are lucky enough to have this option. For about a third of the people in the United States it's not an option, and the other two thirds aren't so lucky and either have to use public internet access or pay for a VPN. Because of this, I'm going to try and make you laugh or be serious.
I have a confession: I use private online access. In fact, I was the only one to notice that the new line art for Private Internet Access's new trailer was full of nude women. Yes, I'm serious, but even though I'm not a member of the Private Internet Access user group, I'm going to tell you anyway.
Private internet accesss new line art is full of nude women with their heads on a table. This is actually a pretty good way to illustrate the difference between using public internet access and using Private Internet Access. The first is like a normal internet connection, while the second is like a VPN. These two services work by protecting the internet from being used by people who have a desire to use it.
VPNs are like a layer of encryption that separates the internet from being used by people who want to use it to access other services.

Many of these "private" Internet Access users are also members of a Reddit group called r/privateinternetaccess – a subreddit whose name is a bit of a mouthful. Reddit is a massive and active social network, and r/privateinternetaccess is a subreddit that has a bunch of members who are all into the privacy and anonymity features of a public internet.
Private Internet Access is a great platform for online privacy and anonymity. It's a great way to browse the internet anonymously, and it's also a great site for people who are into virtual reality. It's also a great place for people who are still very young, whose parents may not be able to provide them with the safety Net and privacy they need.
Reddit is the most popular place to be anonymous online, and for good reason. It's a place where people can go to talk about things, where they can anonymously communicate, and where they can be anonymous as they browse. For those who may be new to Reddit, it's not just a place for people to go to look at pornography, it's also a place to go to find people who are just like you.
I could sit here and tell you about all the things that people here have discovered in the past year, but that would take a long time. The first thing I want to say is that I appreciate a great deal of the effort that goes into a new site such as Reddit. It has been very helpful in my understanding of the Internet.
Reddit is a site that, when compared to websites like Facebook, Twitter, or even Google+, is extremely simple and user-friendly. For new users, it can be daunting at first, but once they get the hang of it, it's actually quite easy. But for those who are already familiar with the Internet, it can be hard to get started.


I'm standing in my living room. It is a large, plain room with magnolia walls. It is bright, filled with natural daylight that makes its ingress from the large window that occupies much of the large wall, one of the longer dimensions of the rectangle, to my the left. I guess I'm not quite with it, hungover more than likely. I just don't feel particularly connected. Between space… my wife is beside me, at my left hand side. Our backs rest against the shorter wall and my right shoulder is close to the corner where the wall to my rear and the other longer wall, the one without the window, meet. It's very warm, a dry heat. It must be summer. I've almost forgotten what summer is.
She seems to come from nowhere. It's as though she's entered through the wall, a silent entry, and completely unannounced. Of course, there's a door, to my wife's left, some distance from me, and it's concealed, even if my view of it wasn't obscured. We both know her, and although she doesn't live with us, and only visits very occasionally, the surprise is only momentary. No-one speaks, and we watch as she walks straight past us, dressed in a Chinese dress, and places her palms against the wall, the longer wall without the window, at the far end of the room. Hot on her heels – her bare, shoeless heels – appear a couple of Indian men wearing turquoise robes. They stand in the middle of the room and converse with one another in Hindi and ignore us as they watch the girl as she continues to move strangely, her back to us and her hands on the blank magnolia wall, her palms to the flat surface, almost stroking it.
Abruptly, she stops. We all go outside. It's been a long time since I have been outside. The world has changed significantly. How long has it been? Long enough to have forgotten that from my doorstep I can see the lives of dozens of other residents in the square unfolding in real-time through the large window elevations of their flats – large, plain magnolia expanses, just like the one I live in. I move back and step outside myself once more.

Občanství je časově relevantně trvalý, místně neomezený právní svazek (nebo vztah či status) fyzické osoby a daného státu. Státní občanství je jedním z hlavních znaků moderního státu. Tento právní svazek mezi občanem a státem je zpravidla proti vůli fyzické osoby nezrušitelný a na jeho základě vznikají jeho subjektům vzájemná práva a povinnosti (závazky). Mezi ně patří zejména právo občana na ochranu ze strany státu a povinnosti občana jako věrnost státu, závazek k jeho obraně, výkon určitých funkcí a dodržování právních předpisů státu i mimo jeho území.

Pojem občanství bývá někdy ztotožňován s pojmem státní příslušnost, ale ten je obsahově širší, neboť do sebe zahrnuje i právnické osoby příslušné k danému státu.

Historie
Ve starověkém Římě bychom pod slovem občanství nalezli pojem status civitatis, v českých dějinách by to byl inkolát. Současný pojem občanství vznikl ze 3. stavu (měšťanstva) během Velké francouzské revoluce. Státní občanství v moderním slova smyslu se zformovalo v době buržoazních revolucí, obdobně jako moderní stát, konstitucionalismus, politické strany či práva a svobody jednotlivce.

Za dob nevolnictví nebyl umožněn svobodný pohyb osob, a proto se tehdy uplatňovala zásada ius soli. Až Ústava Francie z roku 1791 a později Code Napoleon (občanský zákoník) obnovují zásadu ius sanguinis, když zavádí pojem občanství místo poddanství (termín poddanství nebyl vhodný pro vyjádření rovnosti před zákonem, což byl jeden ze základů vytvářející se občanské společnosti a osvícenských myšlenek).

Rozměr státního občanství v právu
Státní občanství má rozměr nejen vnitrostátní, ale i mezinárodní. Z hlediska právního zakotvení lze říci, že patří do práva veřejného, a v jeho rámci zejména do práva:
 ústavního - základy vztahu jedince a státu, vztahy navenek;
 trestního - stíhání za porušení věrnosti státu, vlastizrada, válečná zrada atd.;
 správního - evidence obyvatel, státoobčanské řízení, doklady;
 finančního - poplatky při nabývání, pozbývání a osvědčování státního občanství;
 mezinárodního veřejného - smlouvy s jinými státy o dvojím občanství, právo na diplomatickou ochranu;
 mezinárodního soukromého – státní občanství funguje jako hraniční ukazatel.

Typy fyzických osob ve státě
Dle právního vztahu fyzické osoby ke státu rozlišujeme tři typy fyzických osob ve státě:
 1. Státní občan - má specifický státoobčanský poměr ke státu.
 2. Cizinec - má tentýž poměr jako státní občan, avšak k jinému státu, platí pro něj cizinecký režim, řídí se cizineckým právem.
 3. Bezdomovec (apatrida) - je bez státoobčanského poměru k jakémukoli státu.

Problém bipolitismu a apatrismu
Bipolité jsou osoby s dvojím státním občanstvím. Dítě získá dvojí státní občanství např. proto, že se narodilo rodičům, kteří jsou státními občany státu, jehož právní normy upravující občanství vycházejí z principu ius sanguinis, ale narodí se na území jiného státu, který svoji právní úpravu staví na principu ius soli - narozené dítě tak získává státní občanství státu, jehož občany jsou rodiče, a zároveň občanství státu, na jehož území se narodilo. Dítě může získat dvojí občanství rovněž v případě, že jsou jeho rodiče občany různých států, jejichž právní řády staví na principu ius sanguinis.

Apatridé jsou osoby bez státního občanství (tzv. bezdomovci). Apatridy se například stávají děti apatridů narozené na území státu, který svojí právní úpravu státního občanství staví výlučně na principu ius sanguinis a děti tak nezískají občanství podle práva žádného státu. Nad apatridy není vykonávána diplomatická ochrana, mohou být vyhoštěni, nebo jim nemusí být povolen vstup na území státu.

Právní úprava občanství v Česku

O právní úpravě občanství České republiky pojednává hned několik právních předpisů. Z Ústavy České republiky lze zmínit ustanovení čl. 12:

"Nabývání a pozbývání státního občanství stanoví zákon." a "Nikdo nemůže být proti své vůli zbaven státního občanství." Listina základních práv a svobod k tomu v čl. 42 odst. 3 dodává, že "pokud dosavadní předpisy používají pojmu "občan", rozumí se tím každý člověk, jde-li o základní práva a svobody, které Listina přiznává bez ohledu na státní občanství."

Mezi stěžejní zákony, které pojednávají o občanství, patří zákon č. 186/2013 Sb., o státním občanství České republiky, který nabyl účinnosti 1. ledna 2014 a nahradil tak dosavadní zákon č. 40/1993 Sb., o nabývání a pozbývání státního občanství České republiky.

Jak Ústava ČR, tak Listina pracují s pojmem občanství jako s pojmem hotovým. Definici pojmu však provedl až Ústavní soud v odůvodnění svého nálezu z 13. září 1994, sp. zn. Pl. ÚS 9/94 (publikován pod č. 207/1994 Sb.), a charakterizoval jej jako: "časově trvalý, místně neomezený právní vztah fyzické osoby a státu, který je proti vůli fyzické osoby zpravidla nezrušitelný, na jehož základě vznikají jeho subjektům vzájemná práva a povinnosti, spočívající zejména v právu fyzické osoby na ochranu ze strany státu na jeho území i mimo ně, v právu pobytu na jeho území a na právu účasti na jeho správě veřejných záležitostí. Povinností občana je především věrnost státu, závazek k jeho obraně, výkon určitých funkcí, ke kterým je povolán, a dodržování právních předpisů státu i mimo jeho území." K tomu Ústavní soud ale zároveň dodal, že "konkrétní obsah státního občanství je určen zákonodárstvím jednotlivého svrchovaného státu. Je výsostným právem státu určovat podmínky, za kterých se nabývá a pozbývá státní občanství." Tím je řečeno zejména, že státní občanství je regulováno právním řádem jednotlivého státu – vzniká, trvá i zaniká na základě práva.

Státní občanství České republiky se prokazuje
 občanským průkazem České republiky
 cestovním dokladem České republiky
 osvědčením o státním občanství České republiky, který nesmí být starší než 1 rok
 listinou o nabytí nebo udělení státního občanství České republiky, která nesmí být starší než 1 rok

Získání státního občanství
Obecně můžeme nabýt státní občanství následujícími způsoby:
 Narozením - Právní kultura kontinentální Evropy preferuje zásadu ius sanguinis ("právo krve"), tedy vznik státního občanství podle pokrevní příbuznosti - podle státního občanství rodičů. Právní kultura angloamerická preferuje zásadu ius soli ("právo místa"), tedy vznik státního občanství podle místa narození.
 Naturalizací - do tohoto způsobu patří sňatek, osvojení, určení otcovství, legitimace, udělení státního občanství, přijetí do státní služby, nalezení apod. V českém ústavním právu je pojetí naturalizace zúženo jen na nabytí státního občanství udělením.
 Opcí - tou se rozumí právo volby mezi dvěma či více státními občanstvími. Nejčastěji se používá při změně suveréna státního území. V případě vojenské okupace či anexe cizího státu, je nutno považovat nové vynucené státní občanství okupujícího státu za neplatné.

Získání státního občanství v Česku
Získání státního občanství je upraveno v zákoně č. 186/2013 Sb., o státním občanství České republiky. Podle tohoto zákona lze státní občanství České republiky nabýt následujícími způsoby:
 Narozením, je-li v den narození dítěte alespoň jeden z rodičů státním občanem České republiky. Státní občanství zároveň nabývá narozením i dítě, které se narodí na jejím území a které by se jinak stalo osobou bez státního občanství (bezdomovcem), pokud jsou oba rodiče dítěte bezdomovci a alespoň jeden z nich má na území České republiky ke dni narození dítěte povolen pobyt na dobu delší než 90 dnů.
 Osvojením, je-li alespoň jeden z osvojitelů státním občanem České republiky, a to dnem nabytí právní moci rozhodnutí o osvojení. Dítě, které bylo osvojeno rozhodnutím orgánu cizího státu a alespoň jedním z osvojitelů je státní občan České republiky, nabývá státní občanství České republiky dnem nabytí právní moci rozhodnutí o uznání osvojení, pokud bylo osvojení v České republice podle zákona o mezinárodním právu soukromém uznáno.
 Určením otcovství - pokud matka dítěte není státní občankou České republiky, ale otec ano, pak dítě nabývá státní občanství ČR dnem prohlášení rodičů o určení otcovství nebo dnem právní moci rozsudku o určení otcovství.
 Nalezením na území ČR - dítě mladší 3 let nalezené na území České republiky, jehož totožnost se nepodaří zjistit, nabývá státní občanství České republiky dnem nalezení na území České republiky, pokud do 6 měsíců ode dne nalezení nevyjde najevo, že nabylo státní občanství jiného státu.
 Prohlášením si může zvolit státní občanství České republiky fyzická osoba, která byla k 31. prosinci 1992 státním občanem České a Slovenské Federativní Republiky, ale neměla státní občanství ČR ani státní občanství SR. Nabytí státního občanství České republiky tímto způsobem není umožněno fyzické osobě, která je ke dni učinění prohlášení státním občanem Slovenské republiky. Prohlášení může samostatně učinit fyzická osoba, která nabyla zletilosti. Rodiče, popř. jeden z nich, mohou do svého prohlášení zahrnout i dítě, popř. učinit pro dítě samostatné prohlášení.
 Udělením (naturalizací) na žádost podanou prostřednictvím krajského úřadu (městské části hlavního města Prahy) Ministerstvu vnitra ČR po složení státoobčanského slibu. Pro udělení občanství musí žadatel splňovat následující podmínky (některé podmínky je možné prominout, ale ani při splnění všech podmínek není na udělení občanství právní nárok):
 Má na území ČR ke dni podání žádosti povolen trvalý pobyt nepřetržitě po dobu alespoň 5 let (3 let u občanů Evropské unie). Musí zároveň prokázat, že se na území České republiky zdržuje alespoň v rozsahu jedné poloviny této doby.
 Nebyl pravomocně odsouzen pro nedbalostní trestný čin k nepodmíněnému trestu odnětí svobody, nebo pro úmyslný trestný čin.
 Prokáže znalost českého jazyka.
 Prokáže základní znalost ústavního systému České republiky a základní orientaci v kulturně-společenských, zeměpisných a historických reáliích České republiky.
 V posledních 3 letech předcházejících dni podání žádosti neporušil závažným způsobem povinnosti vyplývající z právních předpisů upravujících vstup a pobyt cizinců na území České republiky, veřejné zdravotní pojištění, sociální zabezpečení, důchodové pojištění, zaměstnanost, daně, cla, odvody a poplatky, vyživovací povinnost vůči dítěti, které má trvalý pobyt na území České republiky, nebo veřejnoprávní povinnosti k obci, ve které je žadatel přihlášen k pobytu, jde-li o povinnosti uložené obcí v samostatné působnosti.
 Prokáže výši a zdroje svých příjmů za poslední 3 roky a doloží, že z nich odvádí daň.
 Prokáže, že jeho pobyt na území České republiky v posledních 3 letech výrazně a bez vážných důvodů nezatěžoval systém státní sociální podpory nebo systém pomoci v hmotné nouzi.

Podle Ministerstva vnitra byl postup, kdy dítě cizinky získalo občanství, když je český muž prohlásil za své, zneužíván, v roce 2013 proto navrhlo, aby muži, kteří se s matkou svého dítěte neoženili, své otcovství doložili testy DNA. Návrh zákona byl kritizován jako diskriminační, upřednostňující kontrolu nad zájmem dítěte a nejasný v případě, kdy testy DNA nebudou možné kvůli úmrtí otce nebo finanční tísni.

Zánik občanství
Pozbytí občanství se nazývá expatriace. Ztratit státní občanství je možné např. nabytím cizího státního občanství na vlastní žádost, sňatkem, propuštěním ze státního svazku, prohlášením nabytí státního občanství za neplatné apod. Článek 15 Všeobecné deklarace lidských práv stanovuje, že nikdo nemůže být proti své vůli zbaven státního občanství. To přináší významnou garanci státoobčanského statusu.

V zásadě se rozlišují tři přístupy k expatriaci:
 Povolovací systém, tzn. že o žádosti rozhoduje státní orgán (Rakousko, Irsko, Japonsko).
 Jednostranný akt, tzn. bez souhlasu státu (Spojené království, Francie, USA), jsou zde však stanoveny podmínky.
 Automatické pozbytí, tzn. že k němu stačí nabytí cizího občanství na vlastní žádost.

Zánik státního občanství v Česku
Státní občan České republiky pozbývá státní občanství České republiky prohlášením o vzdání se státního občanství České republiky, jestliže splňuje současně tyto podmínky:
 trvale se zdržuje v cizině,
 není v České republice přihlášen k trvalému pobytu a
 je zároveň státním občanem cizího státu, nebo žádá o nabytí cizího státního občanství a prohlášení o vzdání se státního občanství České republiky činí v souvislosti s nabytím tohoto státního občanství.
Do 31. prosince 2013 (za účinnosti zákona č. 40/1993 Sb.) bylo možné pozbýt občanství České republiky rovněž nabytím cizího státního občanství.

Mezinárodní smlouvy vztahující se k úpravě státního občanství
 Evropská úmluva o státním občanství (vyhlášena pod č. 76/2004 Sb. m. s.)
 Úmluva o státním občanství vdaných žen (vyhlášena pod č. 72/1962 Sb.)
 Úmluva o omezení případů bezdomovectví (vyhlášena pod č. 43/2002 Sb. m. s.)
 Úmluva o odstranění všech forem diskriminace žen (vyhlášena pod č. 62/1987 Sb.)
 Úmluva o právním postavení osob bez státní příslušnosti
Dle článku 10 Ústavy mají mezinárodní smlouvy v případě rozporu aplikační přednost před vnitrostátním právem.

FRISCO, TX – With 12 players aging out of junior hockey eligibility, the Bismarck Bobcats have some big needs to address Thursday when the 2012-13 North American Hockey League Entry Draft begins at 1:00 PM Central Time.
The outgoing roster of players from last season's team born in 1991 includes seven forwards, four defensemen and one goalie.
Though more forwards are departing, the coaches are targeting defense as a primary need in Thursday's Draft.
The Bobcats' protected list—comprising returning veterans and players signed to pre-draft tender agreements—sits at 20, giving them 10 selections in the Draft.
Any player born on or after January 1, 1992, is eligible to be drafted.
Last year's draft yielded high-scoring blueliner Bryce Anderson and the strong and speedy Ryan Callahan up front.
Following a pair of strong pre-draft tryout camps in Minneapolis and Denver, along with a busy season of scouting, the Bobcats are excited at what could be, in terms of securing future talent, on Thursday.
The 2012 NAHL Entry Draft will begin at 1 PM on Thursday and will be broadcast live on the league's exclusive web TV partner, http://NAHL.FASTHockey.com/. The NAHL will be tweeting every pick live, as well, at http://twitter.com/NAHLHockey or the twitter handle @NAHLHockey.
For in-depth information on the Bobcats' selections, follow @BismarckBobcats on twitter.

28 Sep Hispanic Heritage Month
Posted on Sep 28 2020 00:06h by Dominique Sierra, OurOffice Team
In observance of the Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to highlight this celebration's history, the controversy surrounding the descriptive name for individuals with Latin American heritage, assumptions, facts, and ways to celebrate Hispanic/Latino/Latinx Heritage Month in your organization.
The Hispanic Heritage Month celebration spans from September 15 to October 15. Congress approved this observance in 1968 as the Hispanic Heritage Week. Two decades later, the celebration was expanded to a month-long observance to recognize and celebrate Hispanics' contributions in the United States.
In the last few years, there has been controversy regarding the terms Hispanic, Latino and Latinx. The long answer by Census guidelines is "OMB defines Hispanic or Latino as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race." Latinx is described by Merriam-Webster as a word for people of Latin American descent who do not identify as being of the male or female gender or who do not want to be identified by gender.
You will find that preferences range from being identified based on the specific places of origin (20 countries are part of Latin America), being identified as Hispanic, Latino or Latinx. We all want to be seen as the unique individuals we are, and we all have different preferences. In the spirit of accommodating the individual preferences, the golden rule is to ask each individual about their preference.
Hispanic/Latino/Latinx are extremely diverse in race, religion, age, spoken languages, and more. There are many stereotypes that Hispanic/Latino/Latinx face daily in their workplaces and communities. Here are a few examples to be mindful of:
Assumption: What a Hispanic/Latino/Latinx looks like?
Fact: We come in all colors and shades!
Assumption: What Hispanic/Latino/Latinx people believe in?
Fact: There are several religious practices over the 20 Latin American countries.
What language Hispanic/Latino/Latinx people speak?
Fact: The language spoken can vary from Spanish to Portuguese, Haitian, Creole, Mayan languages, and more.
Hispanic/Latino/Latinx people are not identifiable by a single narrative. There are some vital statistics to provide insight into why it is essential to seek to understand this group.
The US Hispanic population reached 60.6 million, the largest single minority group, in 2019.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that by 2060, Hispanics will account for over 28 percent of the entire U.S. population or 119 million people.
The Hispanic buying power is estimated at 1.7 trillion dollars.
71% of Hispanics speak at least some Spanish at home, either primarily or in combination with English.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that from 1996 to 2016, the number of Hispanic students enrolled in schools, colleges and universities in the United States doubled from 8.8 million to 17.9 million. Hispanic students now make up 22.7 percent of all people enrolled in school.
Over the past 10 years, the number of Hispanic business owners grew 34%, compared to 1% for all business owners in the United States.
As you can see, Hispanic/Latino/Latinx people are and continue to be an essential segment of your potential customers, suppliers, employees, employers, and competition.

The Latest: British judge upholds Assange warrant

A British judge is scheduled to rule on Tuesday Feb. 6, 2017 on Julian Assange's bid to force Britain to drop a warrant for his arrest, a development that would remove a substantial legal hurdle to his leaving the Ecuadorean Embassy in London that has been his refuge for more than five years. Here is a look at the legal issues surrounding the complex case of the WikiLeaks founder. (AP Photo/Frank Augstein, File)

LONDON — The Latest on the U.K. court decision on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (all times local):
A British judge has upheld a U.K. arrest warrant for the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, leaving his legal position unchanged after more than five years inside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
Judge Emma Arbuthnot said the warrant stands, rejecting a call from Assange's lawyers for the warrant to be revoked because he is no longer wanted for questioning in Sweden.
Assange has been holed up in the embassy since he took refuge there in June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden. Swedish prosecutors were investigating allegations of sexual assault and rape made by two women in 2010.
Swedish prosecutors dropped the case last year, but Assange was still subject to a British arrest warrant for jumping bail in 2012.
A British judge is scheduled to rule Tuesday on Julian Assange's bid to force Britain to drop a warrant for his arrest, a development that would remove a substantial legal hurdle to his leaving the Ecuadorean Embassy in London that has been his refuge for more than five years.
But even if Assange wins, he might decide to remain in the embassy because of fears over a possible secret U.S. indictment against him.

Q: Files as input and output in plantuml I am trying to write the following flow:
The activity I describe consists in two binaries. The first one takes in input one file, and generates several (let's say two). These two files, plus another one from the environment, are fed to a second binary, which will generate an output file.
I would like to use plantuml to describe this, but the documentation doesn't really help - it doesn't go to the inputs/outputs of activities.
I can draw files with file myFile, but I didn't manage to link them to boxes. Should I rather use a usecase diagram or an activity diagram for this? Can someone show me how to draw an arrow from a file to a (binary) ?
I am now standing with
@startuml
file myFile
(firstBinary)
@enduml

which doesn't really do what I want.

A:
Should I rather use a use case diagram or an activity diagram for this?

The closest diagram associated with what you are trying to depict would be a process flow diagram with work product/artifact dependencies. In essence, your binaries are processes that depend on artifacts (files) and create new ones. However, not everything we want to describe fits neatly into a particular diagram type, nor should it have to.
Since PlantUML uses GraphViz to render diagrams, you can always use the DOT language to specify these relationships directly. For example,
@startuml
digraph a {
    InFile1 [shape=note]
    Binary1 [shape=ellipse]
    TmpFile1 [shape=note]
    TmpFile2 [shape=note]
    TmpFile3 [shape=note]
    Binary2 [shape=ellipse]
    EnvFile [shape=note]
    OutFile [shape=note]

    InFile1 -> Binary1
    Binary1 -> TmpFile1
    Binary1 -> TmpFile2
    Binary1 -> TmpFile3

    TmpFile1 -> Binary2
    TmpFile2 -> Binary2
    TmpFile3 -> Binary2
    EnvFile -> Binary2

    Binary2 -> OutFile
}
@enduml

would result in the following diagram.

DOT is no more complex than PlantUML's language, though when diagrams get large, a good understanding is certainly a benefit. You can get more information on DOT language at Graphviz's Documentation site.

What are Communities of Practice?
Communities of practice are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavor: a tribe learning to survive, a band of artists seeking new forms of expression, a group of engineers working on similar problems, a clique of pupils defining their identity in the school, a network of surgeons exploring novel techniques, a gathering of first-time managers helping each other cope. In a nutshell:
Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.
Note that this definition allows for, but does not assume, intentionality: learning can be the reason the community comes together or an incidental outcome of member's interactions. Not everything called a community is a community of practice. A neighborhood for instance, is often called a community, but is usually not a community of practice. Three characteristics are crucial:
Domain: A community of practice is not merely a club of friends or a network of connections between people. It has an identity defined by a shared domain of interest. Membership therefore implies a commitment to the domain, and therefore a shared competence that distinguishes members from other people. (You could belong to the same network as someone and never know it.) The domain is not necessarily something recognized as "expertise" outside the community. A youth gang may have developed all sorts of ways of dealing with their domain: surviving on the street and maintaining some kind of identity they can live with. They value their collective competence and learn from each other, even though few people outside the group may value or even recognize their expertise.
The Community: In pursuing their interest in their domain, members engage in joint activities and discussions, help each other, and share information. They build relationships that enable them to learn from each other. A website in itself is not a community of practice. Having the same job or the same title does not make for a community of practice unless members interact and learn together. The claims processors in a large insurance company or students in American high schools may have much in common, yet unless they interact and learn together, they do not form a community of practice. But members of a community of practice do not necessarily work together on a daily basis. The Impressionists, for instance, used to meet in cafes and studios to discuss the style of painting they were inventing together. These interactions were essential to making them a community of practice even though they often painted alone.
The Practice: A community of practice is not merely a community of interest-people who like certain kinds of movies, for instance. Members of a community of practice are practitioners. They develop a shared repertoire of resources: experiences, stories, tools, ways of addressing recurring problems—in short a shared practice. This takes time and sustained interaction. A good conversation with a stranger on an airplane may give you all sorts of interesting insights, but it does not in itself make for a community of practice. The development of a shared practice may be more or less self-conscious. The "windshield wipers" engineers at an auto manufacturer make a concerted effort to collect and document the tricks and lessons they have learned into a knowledge base. By contrast, nurses who meet regularly for lunch in a hospital cafeteria may not realize that their lunch discussions are one of their main sources of knowledge about how to care for patients. Still, in the course of all these conversations, they have developed a set of stories and cases that have become a shared repertoire for their practice.
It is the combination of these three elements that constitutes a community of practice. And it is by developing these three elements in parallel that one cultivates such a community.
What do communities of practice look like?
Communities develop their practice through a variety of activities. The following table provides a few typical examples:
"Can we work on this design and brainstorm some ideas; I'm stuck."
"Where can I find the code to connect to the server?"
Seeking Experience
"Has anyone dealt with a customer in this situation?"
Reusing Assets
"I have a proposal for a local area network I wrote for a client last year. I can send it to you and you can easily tweak it for this new client."
Coordination and Synergy
"Can we combine our purchases of solvent to achieve bulk discounts?"
Discussing Developments
"What do you think of the new CAD system? Does it really help?"
Documentation Projects
"We have faced this problem five times now. Let us write it down once and for all."
"Can we come and see your after-school program? We need to establish one in our city."
Mapping Knowledge and Identifying Gaps
"Who knows what, and what are we missing? What other groups should we connect with?"
Communities of practice are not called that in all organizations. They are known under various names, such as learning networks, thematic groups, or tech clubs.
While they all have the three elements of a domain, a community, and a practice, they come in a variety of forms. Some are quite small; some are very large, often with a core group and many peripheral members. Some are local and some cover the globe. Some meet mainly face-to-face, some mostly online. Some are within an organization and some include members from various organizations. Some are formally recognized, often supported with a budget; and some are completely informal and even invisible.
Communities of practice have been around for as long as human beings have learned together. At home, at work, at school, in our hobbies, we all belong to communities of practice, a number of them usually. In some we are core members. In many we are merely peripheral. And we travel through numerous communities over the course of our lives.
In fact, communities of practice are everywhere. They are a familiar experience, so familiar perhaps that it often escapes our attention. Yet when it is given a name and brought into focus, it becomes a perspective that can help us understand our world better. In particular, it allows us to see past more obvious formal structures such as organizations, classrooms, or nations, and perceive the structures defined by engagement in practice and the informal learning that comes with it.
Where does the concept come from?
Social scientists have used versions of the concept of community of practice for a variety of analytical purposes, but the origin and primary use of the concept has been in learning theory. Anthropologist Jean Lave and I coined the term while studying apprenticeship as a learning model. People usually think of apprenticeship as a relationship between a student and a master, but studies of apprenticeship reveal a more complex set of social relationships through which learning takes place mostly with journeymen and more advanced apprentices. The term community of practice was coined to refer to the community that acts as a living curriculum for the apprentice. Once the concept was articulated, we started to see these communities everywhere, even when no formal apprenticeship system existed. And of course, learning in a community of practice is not limited to novices. The practice of a community is dynamic and involves learning on the part of everyone.
Where is the concept being applied?
The concept of community of practice has found a number of practical applications in business, organizational design, government, education, professional associations, development projects, and civic life.
Organizations: The concept has been adopted most readily by people in business because of the recognition that knowledge is a critical asset that needs to be managed strategically. Initial efforts at managing knowledge had focused on information systems with disappointing results. Communities of practice provided a new approach, which focused on people and on the social structures that enable them to learn with and from each other. Today, there is hardly any organization of a reasonable size that does not have some form communities-of-practice initiative. A number of characteristics explain this rush of interest in communities of practice as a vehicle for developing strategic capabilities in organizations:
Communities of practice enable practitioners to take collective responsibility for managing the knowledge they need, recognizing that, given the proper structure, they are in the best position to do this.
Communities among practitioners create a direct link between learning and performance, because the same people participate in communities of practice and in teams and business units.
Practitioners can address the tacit and dynamic aspects of knowledge creation and sharing, as well as the more explicit aspects.
Communities are not limited by formal structures: they create connections among people across organizational and geographic boundaries.
From this perspective, the knowledge of an organization lives in a constellation of communities of practice each taking care of a specific aspect of the competence that the organization needs. However, the very characteristics that make communities of practice a good fit for stewarding knowledge—autonomy, practitioner-orientation, informality, crossing boundaries—are also characteristics that make them a challenge for traditional hierarchical organizations. How this challenge is going to affect these organizations remains to be seen.
Government: Like businesses, government organizations face knowledge challenges of increasing complexity and scale. They have adopted communities of practice for much the same reasons, though the formality of the bureaucracy can come in the way of open knowledge sharing. Beyond internal communities, there are typical government problems such as education, health, and security that require coordination and knowledge sharing across levels of government. There also, communities of practice hold the promise of enabling connections among people across formal structures. And there also, there are substantial organizational issues to overcome.

LEARNING ALLIANCE OF STATES (LAS)
Learning Alliance of States (LAS) is intended to be a knowledge management network of State Governments. Completely autonomous and independent from the Central Government, it will be a network of the States, created by the states and for the States. Its members will be 29 States represented by their Chief Ministers. It is proposed that the Chair of LAS will be on a rotation basis starting with Andhra Pradesh, as it is first in alphabetical order of states. Thus it is proposed that the Founding Chair of LAS will be the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

ABC the Tavern has snagged this award from such glitzy up-and-comers as Market Garden, Town Hall, Nano Brew and Bier Market. Why? Probably because it feels entirely authentic. With bar bowling, an all-business pool table on the balcony level and more happy hours than regular hours per day (it feels like), this neighborhood watering hole has been unaffected by the urban-playground-ization of West 25th. It's a tavern to re-connect with neighborhood pals, order that beer your parents had at their wedding, and watch the brave bartenders throw out the drunkards and ne'er-do-wells who love the deals as much as you do. We couldn't recommend any bar more highly.

Over 250 applications were received in response to the Plumbing Apprenticeship advert, and after careful consideration, online tests and interviews, ten new recruits have now joined the existing apprentices.
The apprentices will now embark on the successful four-year tailor-made Modern Apprenticeship, which incorporates the Plumbing Vocational Qualification alongside other industry qualifications important to the business. The programme gives the opportunity of achieving a national recognizable qualification by gaining on the job training and attending classes at the newly launched 'James Frew Academy' at West College Scotland Paisley Campus.
The new recruits will join the company's existing 23 apprentices who are all at various stages of the programme. They include Josh Burns, 19 and Darren Campbell, 34 from Paisley, Reece Colquhoin, 17 from Kilwinning, Callum Dawson, 18 from Ayr, Cameron Norwood, 17 from Saltcoats, Andrew Neil, 18 from Kilmarnock, Josh O'Neill, 18 from Greenock, Luke Priestly, 18 from Irvine, Callum Robertson, 18 from Glasgow and Paisley Moore, 16 from Dumfries.
James Frew would like to wish all new recruits Good Luck.


Front Line Management claims Guns N' Roses frontman owes $1.87 million in unpaid fees.
[artist id="1322928"]Axl Rose[/artist] is being sued by a management company that claims the [artist id="846"]Guns N' Roses[/artist] frontman owes it nearly $2 million in commissions.
Front Line Management, a Los Angeles-based company founded by legendary personal manager Irving Azoff, filed suit against Rose in L.A. Superior Court on Thursday, seeking $1.87 million in unpaid fees, according to Billboard. Front Line asserts that the company was hired to be Rose's personal manager in 2008 and had an oral agreement with the singer to receive 15 percent of Guns N' Roses' profits.
In the suit, Front Line claims that GN'R made more than $12 million while touring Asia, Canada and South America in support of their long-awaited 2008 album Chinese Democracy.
Rose — who frequently addresses stories about him and his group through his Twitter account (seriously) — has so far remained mum on the suit, instead posting updates on GN'R's South American tour and thanking fans for their support.
An e-mail sent to Rose's publicist seeking comment on the lawsuit was not returned by press time.
In the meantime Guns N' Roses continue to tour South America, and through Twitter Rose recently announced plans to make up a show in Rio de Janeiro that was canceled earlier this month due to rain and wind. The band will also play shows in Central America and Puerto Rico before wrapping the jaunt. Currently, the only other shows on their itinerary are a pair of appearances at summer festivals in Finland and Sweden.

Our chance to fight back
Time and again, communities across the Northern Territory have said no the to dangers of fracking.
But Origin Energy - one of Australia's biggest fracking companies - refuses to listen in their pursuit of profit. So next Wednesday, Traditional Owners and Seed are going head-to-head with Origin at their AGM, showing that we won't back down.
Will you join Traditional Owners from the frontline of the fracking fight, Seed and the whole Protect Country Alliance at the Origin Energy AGM on the 17th of October at 9:45am?
Origin Energy has huge plans to frack the NT and if they succeed, the impacts for Traditional Owners, water and our climate would be catastrophic.
People should have the final say about what happens to their land, but Origin Energy has ignored the concerns of Traditional Owners and failed tell communities about the risks involved with fracking.
What's more, fracking the gas underneath the Beetaloo Basin in the Northern Territory would release 22 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions. That's five times more than the whole of Adani's Carmichael coal mine.
We have to stop them.
Companies like Origin care about their shareholders and reputation more than anything. And that's why next Wednesday, October 17, we are going to their AGM.
We'll be making sure that shareholders and the senior executives of Origin hear directly from Traditional Owners, who have been on the frontline of fight against fracking.
Join us at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth
61 Phillip St Sydney
Wednesday 17 October, 9:45am

Now more than ever, we need to take our future into our own hands!
One message: frack off
On Wednesday, courageous Traditional Owners from the Origin Energy fracking permit areas of the Northern Territory travelled all the way from Minyerri to Sydney to challenge gas giant Origin Energy...
Stop Origin Energy
Communities across the Northern Territory have clearly said no the to dangers of fracking, and won't back down.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Northern Territory from Borroloola, Arnhem Land, Mataranka, Kalkarindji, Alice Springs and many more places who have come together to lead the fight to stop shale gas fracking. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have lived sustainably and in harmony with the land for generations, over tens of thousands of years. We acknowledge our elders past, present and future as well as the ongoing role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in caring for country and our people.
