XENIA — This week the Xenia High School varsity football program honored Mike Earley as the team's honorary coach for Friday's game against Cincinnati Moeller. Earley is a 1987 graduate of Xenia High school where he participated in football, basketball and baseball for the Bucs. He and his wife, Sheila, have two teenage sons, Addison and Ryan. Mike holds a BA from Wright State, a BS from Urbana University, and his Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Dayton. Earley followed seven years in the classroom with 13 years in school administration. He is currently the Personnel Director for Xenia Community Schools. The senior football players chose Earley as honorary coach because of the impact he had on them when he served as principal at Warner Middle School. They also chose to honor him for his commitment to Xenia, his commitment to our young people, and his commitment to excellence.
XENIA — School has started and Xenia Christian High School senior Grace Norman has been very busy preparing for the ITU World Paratriathlon Championships, which is now one week away.
In cross country, Norman placed second at both of her early meets. Last weekend, Norman led her team to a second place team finish at the Greenville Treaty meet. Her 5-kilometer time of 19:39 ranks her fourth individually in Ohio for Division III runners at this point in the season.
She leaves for Chicago on Tuesday in preparations for the World Championships. She will spend a few days getting familiar with the course, and involved in some press events as the U.S. team is hosting this event. The official race will be at 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 18. Fans can follow the race on the USAtriathlon website.
On Saturday, Sept. 19, Norman will compete as part of a corporate triathlon team. She will be doing the swim, and will combine with two others from Columbia Threadneedle who are a big part of the ITU Triathlon.
Norman recently learned she will represent Team USA at the Paralympic Track & Field World Championships. She will compete in the 400-meter run when the world meet is held in October in Doha, Qatar.

Arca secures $10M in Series A funding as traditional financiers back crypto
A VPN is an essential component of IT security, whether you're just starting a business or are already up and running. Most business interactions and transactions happen online and VPN
Arca, an emerging digital asset manager, has secured $10 million in Series A funding to bootstrap the next phase of its business strategy – one that could bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies.
In a Wednesday press release, Arca said the funding round was led by venture capital firm RRE Ventures, with key contributions from Alex Tisch, president of Loews Hotels & Co, and a "coalition of financiers led by Littlebanc Advisors."
Arca says it will use the funding to enhance its infrastructure and digital service offerings, as well as stay abreast of all the legal and regulatory requirements in the industry.
Rayne Steinberg, Arca's CEO, tells Cointelegraph that 2020 was a watershed year for cryptocurrency. Although that's in large part due to Bitcoin, the firm has seen "this initial awareness translate into interest in the many other aspects of digital assets."
When asked about the biggest roadblock to digital asset adoption, Steinberg identified the "confusing and fractured narrative" around cryptocurrency. He explains:
"Sophisticated investors need to understand what they're investing in before making investments. So, education standardization and consistency [in] message are things that are of equal importance to the actual products."
Steinberg says the Series A investors have recognized that there is a large addressable market for crypto asset management – and have identified Arca's potential in filling the void.
"Our investors recognized Arca's plan to become the premier branded asset manager in digital assets as an idea with enormous potential," he said.
Those views were echoed in the press release. James Robinson, founder and CEO of RRE Ventures, said his decision to back Arca stems from his long-standing experience with the firm's management team:
"We have worked with members of the Arca senior team for the past two decades as they revolutionized asset management, giving us high confidence they can do it again with future evolutionary products."
Founded in 2018, Arca provides a suite of investment products marketed to traditional investors who are looking for a way to tap into cryptocurrencies. The firm provides actively managed hedge funds and treasury management services dedicated to crypto.
Digital asset management is a growing niche within the cryptocurrency industry, with firms like Bitwise and Grayscale seeing an influx of capital from new investors looking for direct exposure to the asset class.

You are here : Home Indian forest areas grow by one per cent through agro forestry
A Quarters of India's land has now turned green, as per India State of Forest Report 2017, forests have grown by 8,021 square kilometres from the last survey conducted in 2015. This implies that total of 802,088 square kilometres of the nation which is 24.4 per cent, wears a green blanket.
India ranks 10th in the world in such covering and reported to grown by 1.36 per cent. Environment Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan gave a state wise break up and said Andhra Pradesh has shown a maximum increase in forest cover with 2141 sq km followed by Karnataka (1101 sq km) and Kerala (1043 sq km). Over 7 billion tonnes of 'carbon stock' is stored in the ecosystem with the increase of 38 million tonnes from previous assessment.
Bamboo-bearing areas have recorded an increase of 1.73 million ha. Bamboo stock has shown a rapid growth of 19 million tonnes surpassing the last assessment in 2011. Recently government has proposed a bill to put bamboo out of the tree category, where it is grown outside the forest areas in order to motivate people for growing bamboo on private areas to boost their livelihood opportunities.
The government has adopted new agro forestry practices to meet its commitment under Paris Agreement to generate additional carbon sinks of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030. However, some states have given poor results by decreasing their coverage up to 500 sq km, as per government, agricultural expansion and developmental activities have been the major cause for this.

Cincinnati Metro: It's decision time for SORTA and the bus tax
Will they? Won't they? The drama continues with Cincinnati Metro and a potential fall levy.
Cincinnati Metro: It's decision time for SORTA and the bus tax Will they? Won't they? The drama continues with Cincinnati Metro and a potential fall levy. Check out this story on cincinnati.com: https://cin.ci/2A4vb8M
Hannah Sparling, Cincinnati Enquirer Published 7:51 a.m. ET July 23, 2018 | Updated 10:38 a.m. ET July 23, 2018
Government Square on 5th street, between Walnut and Main in downtown Cincinnati is the main transit station for the area. It's been in operation since 1891. It was renovated in 2006 with canopies to protect riders from inclement weather. Metro is non-profit and part of the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA). A standard bus fare is $1.75. Metro's fleet includes over 400 buses.(Photo: Liz Dufour/The Enquirer)
Scroll to the bottom of this story to see each board member's stance on the levy.
The people who run Cincinnati Metro agree on at least one thing: The system is broken. In some ways, it downright stinks. Something must be done.
But after that? It gets a whole lot more complicated.
Should Metro go for a sales-tax levy this fall? If yes, just how big should the levy be? Should there be more routes or fewer? More drivers? More buses? Something completely different?
The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, the agency that runs Cincinnati Metro, has until August 8 to decide if it wants to ask Hamilton County voters for more money. SORTA was initially supposed to make its decision at Tuesday's meeting but decided to put it off until July 25.
The agency might ask for a 0.5 percentage point sales-tax increase.
Or, it might ask for more – up to a full 1 percentage point increase.
Or, it might ask for nothing at all.
If you ride the bus, this affects you. It affects whether Metro will grow or make cuts. Whether service will get better or worse. Whether you'll be able to make it to your job, your classes and your doctor's appointments on time.
If you don't ride the bus, this still affects you. It affects the tax rate on everything you buy in Hamilton County. And public transit, whether you use it personally or not, is key to a city's success or failure. It affects the environment, when there are more or fewer exhaust pipes on the road. It affects the unemployment rate and investment, whether companies want to move to a city or not.
Take this: Earlier this year, Amazon knocked Cincinnati off the short list for a new Amazon HQ. The No. 1 reason? Lack of tech talent. But No. 2? A struggling transit system.
"It's about the economy. Fixing bus service is about putting people to work," said Cam Hardy, a public-transit activist and president of the Better Bus Coalition, a group lobbying for SORTA to put a levy on the ballot.
"A lot of the elected leaders were saying, '2020, we're waiting until 2020 to do this.' No way. We're not waiting until 2020. We're going to push you, pressure you."
Cam Hardy, 28, is the president and co-founder of the Better Bus Coalition and also part of the Mt. Airy Town Council. The Mt. Airy resident catches the Metro bus at Colerain and Kirby to get to work in downtown Cincinnati. He takes the bus everywhere, but says many of the buses are outdated and don't run on time.

Cam Hardy: Is this guy a public-transit superhero? Or is he just a pain in the butt?
Down to the wire, the 13-member SORTA board is tight-lipped about its plans. The Enquirer asked each member how he or she plans to vote, and as of Wednesday, only two had directly answered the question.
Maurice Brown, a city appointee, said he is in favor of a November levy.
Thaddeus Hoffmeister, a county appointee, said he is "unlikely" to support such a bid.
But with the other 11 members, it's anybody's guess. Seven – Kreg Keesee, Heidi Black, Brendon Cull, Robert Harris, Rod Hinton, Mary Miller and Kathy Wyenandt – are either undecided or would not discuss the question.
The remaining four – Blake Ethridge, Allan Freeman, Peter McLinden and Gwen Robinson – did not respond to requests for comment.
Ultimately, it might come down to a city-versus-county battle. Seven of the SORTA board members are appointed by the city, six by the county. The vote could end up somewhere along those lines, with city appointees in favor of a levy and county appointees opposed.
Mayor John Cranley, through a spokeswoman, declined to comment for this story. But he has said in the past that he is open to a Metro levy this fall.
Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune, though, is staunchly opposed, saying he favors a larger, tristate system that would connect riders in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. In February, the commissioners appointed six new members to the SORTA board, an attempt to stack the deck against a levy.
"I think that a levy is not right, and I have real concerns that it will fail," Portune said. "SORTA has got to have something new to advance. There is no vision for the future that embraces, or even begins to embrace, what virtually everyone knows has to happen in terms of transit for our region."

What might we see?
Metro put out a plan this past winter called Reinventing Metro. It laid out the potential options for a sales-tax increase and what each levy might mean for the bus system.
If SORTA goes for a 0.5 percentage point increase, the lowest option discussed, it would pretty much mean the status quo. Nothing new, nothing better – just an attempt to balance the $98 million budget.
As the levy price goes up, so, too, go the benefits: more bus routes, shorter wait times, longer service hours.
If SORTA goes for a 0.9- or 1 percentage point increase, the highest discussed, it would mean 24-hour service on some of the most popular lines and four Bus Rapid Transit corridors in Hamilton County. Those corridors would have bus-only lanes, meaning riders could breeze through traffic and skip rush-hour congestion.
But, sources told The Enquirer SORTA is also considering a plan that would lump funding for road repair into the levy. There likely would not be enough money for rapid transit corridors under that scenario, but the thought is that adding roads into the mix might make the levy more attractive to voters who do not ride the bus.
Metro CEO and General Manager Dwight Ferrell wouldn't talk about the possibility of a levy, saying the decision is up to board members, and he'll go by whatever they decide. Metro is not allowed to advocate one way or the other, anyway.
But the system is at a "critical point," Ferrell said in a statement to The Enquirer. "We're an efficient and well-run organization whose funding is no longer sustainable."
Grand(er) plans?
"It's depressing as hell."
That was SORTA board member Peter McLinden, right after a sustainability report in June. The report, prepared by researchers at EY, was grim. It showed tanking ridership and a looming $184 million deficit by 2028.
"I think I've had more fun at a funeral," said McLinden, who was appointed to the board in 2018 by the county commissioners.
To those in favor of a levy, the EY report is evidence it is needed. The money is running out, and unless something changes, an already struggling system is only going to get worse.
To those on the other side, though, the report means something different.
"Why are we throwing money at a system that's not working?" asked Hamilton County Commissioner Chris Monzel.
Monzel thinks Metro needs a complete overhaul. Not a levy, not more money, he said, just money spent differently.
Maybe it should be a smaller system, passenger vans instead of big buses, he said. Maybe it should just be subsidized Uber vouchers.
"The system as it's set up is not very user-friendly," he said. "To me, that says we should really blow it up and restart. Just take a white sheet of paper and say, 'How do we re-set this thing up?'"

Getting There: Join our transit Facebook group
It's no secret Greater Cincinnati's transit system is messed up. But what do we do about it?
The Enquirer is in the midst of a yearlong reporting project called Getting There: Fixing Greater Cincinnati's public transportation. There will be dozens of pieces throughout the year, talking about where we are, how we got here and what we can do to change our transit trajectory.
If you'd like to join the conversation, check out our Getting There group on Facebook.
How will they vote?
The Enquirer asked each of the 13 SORTA board members if they are in favor or opposed to a levy this fall. Here's what they said:
Kreg Keesee, board chair
Appointed by:Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley
Stance on the levy: Undecided
"I strongly believe that the system needs additional funding to be sustainable, but my job (as chair) is to get the board to consensus."
Maurice Brown, vice chair
Appointed by: Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley
Stance on the levy: In favor
"I'm in full support of placing a tax increase on the ballot! Our bus system is outdated and is not meeting the needs of those requiring and choosing to utilize Metro service."
Heidi Black
"When we go to the voters to ask them for their support, we have to give ourselves the best chance for success, because failure could set us back for years or even decades."
Brendon Cull
Stance on the levy: Would not say
"This is the community's levy. My judgment will be based on whether or not this is something that the community is ready to adopt."
Blake Ethridge
Appointed by: Hamilton County Commissioners
Stance on the levy: Did not respond to requests for comment
"I feel, in all honesty, that we have to stop managing by crisis. (We need) to concentrate on creating a progressive system that deals not only with putting a Band Aid on the problem but creating a true, progressive, forward movement..."
Rod Hinton
"In my short tenure on the board, I have been presented with compelling information that points to Metro being in an untenable financial position currently and for the foreseeable future if we, the appointed Board of SORTA, do not find a more sustainable funding model. My responsibility as a member of the Board is to make decisions that position the organization for continued success..."
Thaddeus Hoffmeister
Stance on the levy: Likely opposed
"I am disinclined to replace an earnings tax with a regressive sales tax. Also, (there is) no regional plan in place."
Peter McLinden
"To me, it's not a simple yes, no or maybe. I see my responsibility as a Board member to seek out all the information necessary to make a decision that will advance the mission of SORTA, increase ridership so we can help more people get to jobs, healthcare and education."
Gwen Robinson
Appointed by: Former Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory

Met vijf man bridgen is een hoorspel van Michal Tonecki, die voor zijn hoorspelwerk in 1964 de prijs van de Poolse omroep kreeg. Der Fünfte zum Bridge werd op 2 november 1966 door de Westdeutscher Rundfunk uitgezonden. Lisetta Stembord vertaalde het en de KRO zond het uit op zondag 4 december 1966, als derde in de serie Vijf maal Polen 1966. De regisseur was Léon Povel. De uitzending duurde 37 minuten.

Inhoud

Een lifter wordt meegenomen in een caravan. Daarin blijken zich vier personen te bevinden die bijna dwangmatig bezig zijn met bridgen. Zij proberen een vijfde man in hun gezelschap te lokken. Wie eenmaal tot dat gezelschap is toegetreden, komt er niet zo gemakkelijk uit. Deze simpele intrige heeft verscheidene diepere betekenissen. De bridgeclub wordt het symbool van het beperkte bestaan, waarin de mens zich laat vangen. De leider van de club heeft bepaalde tirannieke aspecten. Niemand van de spelers voelt zich gelukkig, maar de kracht om aan de dwang van verder spelen te ontsnappen, ontbreekt. Toch is dit spel niet zo somber als de meeste groteske stukken in dit genre. Aan het slot laat de auteur toch nog mogelijkheden open om te ontsnappen…

Hoorspel van de KRO


I don't know what it was. Me, being a bit tired of a 24-hour-journey, or the city having a possible hangover from the buddhist New Year's Eve two weeks earlier. The city of Luang Prabang was amazingly calm and quiet, a tranquility I've never expected. And it was hot. Almost unbearably hot.
Was this the relaxing atmosphere everyone was talking about before?
It felt like I landed straight away from busy Berlin in a new dimension of time – or better: in a dimension where time wasn't as important as usual.
No rush, no hurry. Just a tiny village, at a peacefully flowing river, with the most beautiful buddhist temples on the other end of the world.
Luang Prabang had me right away. What a place to begin a journey.

Gender Issues, formerly known as Feminist Issues, is an American feminist periodical. The journal primarily publishes scholarly articles and essays that examine gender roles and relationships. It also critically considers the social, economic, legal, and political impacts of those roles and relationships.

History
Established in 1980, the academic journal was born out of the recognition that the new feminism needed a place of its own in theoretical debate. Feminist Issues primarily aimed to illuminate the historical and social determinants behind sexism, misogyny, and many other women-related issues.

As the quarterly periodical progressively evolved, the editorial collective began to broaden the conversation by including theoretical discourses on all gender-related issues. They also started various new sections  on the journal such as book reviews, letters to the editor, as well as responses from authors.

After changing its name from Feminist Issues to Gender Issues in 1998, the journal published a statement in its opening pages:"Gender Issues is dedicated to publishing basic and applied research on the relationships between men and women; on the similarities and differences in socialization, personality, and behavior; and on the changing aspirations, roles, and statuses of women in industrial and urban societies, as well as in developing nations. Gender Issues is committed to scholarship. It has no political agenda or ideological loyalty. It welcomes controversy, and it will publish argumentative pieces and public policy recommendations so long as they have a solid empirical basis." - Rita J. Simon, Editor (Volume 16, Issue 3, 1998).The journal's name change was mainly implemented to reflect its change in publishing frequency, editors, and mission.

Coronavirus: Some businesses in San Mateo…
Coronavirus: Some businesses in San Mateo County must change operations starting Sunday
The state order follows county being placed on a watch list
By Peter Hegarty | phegarty@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: August 1, 2020 at 8:55 p.m. | UPDATED: August 2, 2020 at 1:40 p.m.
Some indoor businesses and public activities must cease operations unless they can be modified to work outside or by offering pick-up services to help contain the coronavirus, the state told San Mateo County officials Saturday.
The order, which took effect at midnight Sunday, was in response to the county being on a state COVID-19 monitoring list for more than three days, according to statement the county posted on its website.
The order affects shopping malls, gyms and fitness centers; places of worship and where cultural ceremonies take place, such as weddings and funerals; offices for non-critical infrastructure; and locations for personal care services, like nail salons, body waxing, hair salons and barbershops.
Shops that offer tattoos, piercings, and electrolysis may not operate outdoors and must close.
Business owners and managers are urged to visit the state website for industry guidance.
State officials put San Mateo County on the state watch list, which is used to monitor areas showing troubling signs of the coronavirus spread, on Wednesday.
The county — the last place in the region where people could still visit hair salons and work out in gyms — was added to the list after exceeding the state's threshold for rising cases and hospitalizations.

In a blog last Summer I described later stages of the life cycle of Jalmenus evagoras, the Imperial Hairstreak butterfly. I watched Iridomyrmex ants attending the caterpillars and a male butterfly mating with a female immediately after it emerged from its chrysalis.
Today, I witnessed the first stage of the life cycle: egg-laying by the female butterfly on stems of Acacia mearnsii, the host plant for its larvae.
The female fluttered around the wattle bush, occasionally stopping to thrust its abdomen forward as it searched for a suitable oviposition site.
As the butterfly probed the stem, ants swarmed around it, encouraging it to lay eggs by stroking its abdomen.
Eventually the female found a slit in the bark, settled down and proceeded to lay a clutch of eggs within that slit.
The eggs are exquisitely sculpted, with serrated edges which keep them in place in the oviposition site.
I've collected a pair of the eggs, which I'll keep under further observation. Hopefully I'll be able to see them hatch!

Er, because books don't explode and kill Syrian children
by Peter Clark
Just yesterday, the New York Times' Russell Goldman reported that the Syrian civil war has resulted in a quarter of that country's population fleeing. Those that remain live under the constant threat of attack. It's war — brutal, destructive, and devastating.
The continued violence only furthers the decimation of Syria's already crippled infrastructure, with the horrifying consequence that innocent children can't get the things they need to survive. The NGO Humanium estimates that over eight million Syrian children are in need of humanitarian aid. A quarter of them live in areas inaccessible to aid workers.
I say all that because the facts of the Syrian crisis can't be repeated enough.
I also say it because there are people out there (a lot of them) offering as much relief as they can. As Antonia Blumberg reports in the Huffington Post, a coalition of students from nearly 200 US campuses is working to convince university administrations to offer scholarships to Syrian youths. The Books Not Bombs mission statement speaks for itself:
…This campaign aims to push universities to offer scholarships to Syrian students and joints n the IIE Syria Consortium, enabling Syrian students to receive a safe and quality education. It's the most practical and effective thing universities can do to respond to what the United Nations has declared 'the greatest humanitarian emergency of our time.'
Because of the crisis, over 200,000 students are already known to be in limbo, losing access to support back home, afraid to return, enrolled in or graduates of schools that may no longer exist. So far, the organization has developed a $20,000 emergency fund for students impacted by Trump's travel ban, and their awareness campaigns urging university administrations to provide relief are gaining traction.

In telecomunicazioni e informatica l'SSH File Transfer Protocol o SFTP è un protocollo di rete che prevede il trasferimento dei dati e funzionalità di manipolazione. È tipicamente usato con il protocollo SSH-2 che utilizza un trasferimento dei file sicuro, anche se è utilizzabile con altri protocolli capaci di stabilire un canale sicuro.

Utilizzo
Il protocollo SFTP è differente da SCP in quanto quest'ultimo permette solo il trasferimento del file, mentre SFTP permette diverse operazioni sui file remoti. Solitamente si utilizza la porta 22. Potrebbe essere considerato quindi anche come un file system remoto.

Sicurezza
Il protocollo SFTP in sé non prevede né autenticazione né sistemi di sicurezza.
Il protocollo SSH versione 2 è quindi usato come sottosistema a SFTP; l'utilizzo della versione 1 di SSH, insieme a SFTP, non è possibile, in quanto non supporta il concetto di "sottosistema".
Infatti il client che si connette con SSH-1 deve conoscere il percorso dei binari del server SFTP.

Standardizzazione
Il protocollo non è ancora diventato standard.
Sono però documentate le specifiche riguardo all'ultima versione del protocollo, la 6.
La versione più usata, però, è la 3, che è implementata nel popolare OpenSSH come server SFTP.

This is the final post in a 5-part blog series on Gender and the Environment by Caroline Nguyen. The opinions expressed in this article are of the author's, and are not necessarily reflective of the views of GreenPAC.
My mother and I are very different people. While we usually get along, there are certain topics that we have to avoid, like my lack of dresses and love of rap. Ultimately, our main source of disagreement is over how we think women should act: my mom, the traditionalist, believes that women are supposed to be elegant, quiet, family-oriented, and above all, non-conflictual, while I disagree on and lack almost all of these characteristics.
Her ideas about women are not unique. When we face discrimination, we are often told things along the lines of "that's just part of being a woman", "to deal with it". Being silent, however, does little to rectify these issues. To my mom's chagrin, staying put won't make men stop harassing me on the bus or grant me equal pay for equal work. The same can be said about environmental sexism. As I have explored throughout this blog series, the injustices that women face in agriculture, policy-making, crisis management and leadership often take place in conditions where women are less able to speak out or are silenced completely.
At the same time, the resilience of strong female figures, like native rights and environmental activist Winona Laduke, primatologist and wildlife figurehead Jane Goodall, and the longest serving Director the the Environment Protection Agency Carol Browner, demonstrates that women can make their voices heard, even if the path looks daunting.
Perhaps no other female environmentalist's work shows this as well as the life of my environmental inspiration, Wangari Maathai.Here is a woman who started from the bottom and worked her way to become a leading voice in politics and academia on the world stage. As the founder of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, an initiative to encourage local women to plant trees in their hometowns, she was the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn her doctorate degree, get elected into the Kenyan Parliament with 98% of the vote, and eventually become the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
But her official autobiography hides many of the struggles she faced as a woman in environmental activism. In a piece she wrote for Speak Truth to Power, a book on activism in 2000, she talks about how she was threatened with genital mutilation, beaten by police, confined in a church crypt for a year in hiding, and jailed by authorities. Even her husband had divorced her because she was "too educated, too strong, too successful, too stubborn and too hard to control". Maathai's life, whether she knew it at the time or not, embodied the values of ecofeminism, which advocates for equity for women in environmentalism, both in leadership and in how green policies affect our lives.
A lot of people say, "They could kill you." And I say, "Yes, they could, but if you focus on the damage they could do, you cannot function…" You are not projecting that you could be killed, that you could die. You are not projecting that they could cut your leg. If you do that, you stop. It's not like I see danger coming, and I feel danger. At this particular moment, I am only seeing one thing—that I am moving in the right direction.
It's no secret that sometimes, women have it hard. But it's also no secret that when women speak and act against the restrictions we face, both in environmentalism and other fields, we can accomplish meaningful, non-discriminatory policies and become influential leaders and role models. Time after time, even when we face the most harrowing of circumstances, we have found a way to continue on and make our voices heard.
Female strength and resiliency: these are traits on which my mother and I would agree.
Caroline Nguyen is an intern at GreenPAC, and a fourth year student at the University of Toronto, pursuing a specialization in Peace, Conflict and Justice Studies and a minor in French. Outside of class, she works for Canadian federal government, and manages an environmentally sustainable and student-run café on campus, seeking to encourage local and green food service in the community.

Turkey's Investment Office, OIC Food Security ink deal for agricultural cooperation
Posted on 28/11/2021 by salama
by Anadolu Agency
Investment Office Head Burak Daglioglu (R) and IOFS General Director Yerlan Baidaulet during the signing ceremony of the MoU, Istanbul, Turkey, Nov. 26, 2021. (AA Photo)
The Turkish Presidency's Investment Office signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Friday with the Islamic Organization for Food Security (IOFS) on agricultural cooperation, particularly regarding Africa.
The agreement was signed by Burak Dagl?oglu, the head of the office, and Yerlan Baidaulet, general director of the IOFS.
At the signing ceremony, Daglioglu said Turkey is one of the most active members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
Daglioglu stressed that food supply was a critical issue worldwide and added that OIC members should cooperate deeply on this issue.
While some countries have natural sources, such as water and land, but face difficulties accessing finance and technology, others have financial resources with a deficiency of natural resources, he said.
"These countries are not the same, so we believe there should be better cooperation and integration between member states," he added.
He underlined that of the $235 billion foreign direct investments that Turkey has attracted since 2013, $10 billion were from food and agricultural firms.
"This shows that not only domestic companies, but also international companies are active in the food and related sectors in Turkey," Daglioglu said.
"Turkey is an agricultural center in its region, we'd like to share our expertise and experience in attracting investments in the food sector with (other) OIC member countries."
Baidaulet stressed that the Turkish Investment Office and IOFS would engage in results-oriented cooperation to develop agricultural investment opportunities in member countries with low human development indicators, especially in Africa.
"To be successful and raise the Islamic Civilization even higher, we must do more as Muslim countries and organizations," he underlined.
Noting that the IOFS had declared 2022 as the Year of Africa, he added: "In this context, taking into account the important role played by Turkey in Africa, where it increased the number of diplomatic missions to 46 in a few years, in order to be able to successfully implement the programs we have designed, we invite the Investment Office to be one of the valuable helping hands of the IOFS."

Zozibini Tunzi (Tsolo, Sudáfrica, 18 de septiembre de 1993) es una modelo y ex reina de belleza sudafricana ganadora del concurso de belleza Miss Universo en 2019 convirtiéndose en la tercera mujer sudafricana que gana dicho título luego de Margaret Gardiner, Miss Universo 1978  y Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Miss Universo 2017.Zozibini es la Miss Universo que más tiempo ha reinado en la historia del concurso con 525 días (1 año, 5 meses y 8 días) esto debido al aplazamiento de la edición 69 de Miss Universo por la pandemia de Covid-19. Zozibini coronó a su sucesora Andrea Meza de México el 16 de mayo de 2021 como Miss Universo 2020, quien curiosamente es la Miss Universo que menos tiempo ha reinado.

Cuando Zozibini ganó Miss Sudáfrica en 2019, se convirtió en la primera reina de belleza en no ser afrikáner de Sudáfrica.

Primeros años

Zozibini Tunzi nació en Tsolo, en la Provincia Cabo Oriental, Sudáfrica, hija de Philiswa Nadapu y de Lungisa Tunzi. Creció en Sidwadweni, un pueblo cercano. Tiene dos hermanas. Más tarde se mudó a Ciudad del Cabo, instalándose en el suburbio de Los Jardines, para asistir a la Universidad Tecnológica de la Península del Cabo, donde obtuvo una licenciatura en relaciones públicas y en gestión de imágenes en el 2018.

Antes de ganar Miss Sudáfrica, Tunzi estaba terminando una licenciatura en tecnología en la gestión de relaciones públicas en la Universidad de Tecnología de la península del Cabo, y trabajó como pasante graduada en el departamento de relaciones públicas de Ogilvy Cape Town.

El 8 de diciembre de 2019 fue coronada como Miss Universo 2019 rompiendo estereotipos y estigmas en la sociedad. Estrenó la nueva corona de la organización Miss Universo llamada "Power of Unity Crown"  elaborada por la empresa de joyería suizo-emirata Mouawad.

Defining outreach and engagement and seeking national alignment on the meaning and scope of the nomenclature.
Assessing faculty perceptions of their outreach and engagement work and how they compare to the University's outreach and engagement mission.
Developing measurement and benchmarking criteria for outreach and engagement (locally and nationally).
Studying processes and impacts of university-community collaborations.
Analyzing community contributions to engagement and scholarship.
Investigating practices and policies that enable universities and colleges to weave outreach and engagement into their institutional fabric and faculty promotion and tenure systems.
Providing incentives for faculty to evaluate their work as engaged scholars.
Defining areas of ongoing research.
Conducting literature reviews and writing for Web site dissemination.
Presenting and publishing the Center's work.
The site offers documents, archived and future conferences and events, tools for measurement and assessment, and links to national initiatives.

Livestream: what do you want to know about the new OnePlus 6?
On the OnePlus 6 there are several improvements over the OnePlus 5T. Don't expect a unique design or new features, instead the OnePlus 6 brings powerful tech specs for a good price compared to the latest released flagships without any big surprise. What do you think about the new OnePlus 6? Would you buy it?
What will we be talking about this Friday?
We can finally admire the OnePlus 6 together and take a look at technical specifications and features. The new OnePlus flagship introduces the notch, which will disappoint some of you, and abandons the microSD slot, stereo speakers and IP rating. Besides that, the AMOLED display is good, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 is able to offer fluid performance and the phone itself looks great!
The camera has been optimized and despite not mentioning artificial intelligence, it is able to recognize scenarios and adjust the settings accordingly. What do you think about the brand's new high-end smartphone? We're ready to answer your questions!
Be sure to tune in at 11:30 am Eastern US time (or 4:30 pm if you are in the UK) on our YouTube channel or our Facebook page. See you then!
i'd like to know how they plan to stay in business when they are abusing their customer base with shady marketing tactics like the "T" variants.


This book is narrated in the first person by a genetics professor/researcher who is more than just a little bit on the Aspergers spectrum. As the book begins, he's preparing to begin The Wife Project; it's time for him to have some female companionship and if a genius like him can't figure out how to do it, no one can. Well, maybe no one can. Anyway, one thirty-two page questionnaire later, he's ready to start his project. But then free-spirited Rosie shows up and she's everything he doesn't need and . . . you know where this is going. This book is actually really enjoyable. There's not a single plot surprise in the whole thing, but it's a pleasant surprise to see that Simsion knows how to let his characters really breathe. He writes the entire book in the voice of this professor and it's absolutely flawless, never an out of character moment. Rosie herself gets surprisingly developed; she isn't just another Manic Pixie Dream Girl (or whatever they're calling them these days). As the book goes on, her own troubled nature begins to come to prominence and you realize that this isn't just a story about a woman teaching a man how to love – it's actually about two people who really do need each other. And the book is genuinely funny. I rarely laugh out loud at a book, but I did several times reading this one. At one scene, I just put the book down, covered my face with my hands and laughed for a good minute. This isn't great literature by a stretch, but it's a really, really entertaining novel and it's a quick read too. Recommended. 3 ½ stars.
tl;dr – genuine humor and surprisingly deft and expert characterization save this rom-com from the ever present clichés. 3 ½ stars.


Jigme Ugen holds a letter acknowledging WHO's receipt of the petition, Dec. 30, 2013.
Tibetan advocacy groups and concerned individuals on Monday delivered a petition to the World Health Organization, demanding that it approve the recognition of a Tibetan refugee hospital selected for a public health award, alleging Chinese government interference in blocking the prize.
The petition, addressed to WHO Director-General Margaret Chan and bearing 1,600 signatures, was delivered to WHO staffers at the organization's office in Washington, Tibetan activist Jigme Ugen told RFA in an interview.
"They accepted the petition, and committed to send it on [to WHO headquarters in Geneva] today," said Ugen, who is president of the Tibetan National Congress—one of 15 groups sponsoring the petition.
The Dharamsala, India-based Delek Hospital, which treats thousands of Tibetans and Indians suffering from tuberculosis, had already been approved for the U.S. $65,000 Kochon Prize by the Stop-TB Partnership, "and what they needed was a final approval from the WHO, which has delayed its recognition," Ugen said.
"They are trying to run out 2013 and move into 2014, so that the issue can be swept under the rug," he said.
"Tibetans in exile have one of the highest rates of tuberculosis in the world," petition backers noted in a press release on Monday.
Petition backers hope that the WHO will now "reconsider and endorse" what the Kochon Prize committee has already recommended, Ugen told RFA.
"But we will not just walk away from this. This is Step 1," Ugen said.
The life-saving work done by doctors and staff at the Delek Hospital is now being denied recognition "because of what we sense is political pressure," Ugen said.
Reached for comment, a Geneva-based WHO spokesperson acknowledged Delek Hospital's "excellence in care and control of TB," but noted the facility's close connection to Tibet's India-based exile government, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA).
"The hospital is accountable to, and audited by, the CTA," the health organization said.
"WHO is a UN organization, and despite the good work of this hospital, WHO is bound by the policies of the UN, and as such, it cannot award this prize to an institution dependent on an authority not recognized by [the] United Nations."
"Therefore, while we are grateful for the work of this hospital, we cannot recognize that with the Kochon Award."
This is pretty shameful on the part of WHO. They have kowtowed to political pressure from China not to award a prize to a hospital run by Tibetan exiles. Delek Hospital is not engaged in political activities but WHO is engaged in political favoritism. Kudos to Jigme Ugen-la of Tibetan National Congress and all groups who supported this petition.

Black and White Cookie
February 11, 2016 /0 Comments/in From the chef /by Mark Gresge
What is a Black and White Cookie?
1. It is a soft, round, flat, oversized, chewy drop cake, iced in perfect halves with vanilla and chocolate.
2. It is generally considered a New York City specialty.
3. It is sold fresh in bakeries and delicatessens.
4. It has been around for maybe 100 years.
5. It has no definitive inventor (person/restaurant).
6. It was elevated to national iconic status when Jerry Seinfeld waxed philosophically "Look to the cookie."
Origin theories
"No one seems to know who invented the Black and White, or where it was first created. George Greenstein, a second-generation Jewish baker who has devoted his retirement to translating the old New York neighborhood bakery recipes into contemporary home recipes…feels they must have been invented at the beginning of the twentieth century by a baker looking for yet another way to use his standard yellow cake. They were clever. They got copied all over town."
—Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food, Arthur Schwartz [Steward, Tabori & Chang:New York] 2004 (p. 294)
"The black-and-white had been around forever. Herb Glaser, the baker at Glaser Bake Shop on First Avenue near 87th Street, said that as far as he knew, Glaser's has been making them ever since it opened 96 years ago."
—"'Look to the Cookie': An Ode in Black and White," William Grimes, New York Times, May 13, 1998 (p. F1)
"…Glaser's Bake Shop. Herb Glaser isn't precisely sure why his baker on 87th and 1st on the Upper East Side is credited as the creator of the black-and-white. He just knows his family has been baking them at the same location since around the time it opened, 1902…Well, he sort of knows. 'I wasn't around then,' he says, but that's the legend and, so far, no one has debunked it.'…Glaser's has always made two sized of black-and-whites, small ones and not-so-small ones. In the '60s, Herb Glaser used to eat at least two of the smaller cookies a day when he'd walk home from school for lunch."
—"A Tale of Two Cookies," Jule Banville, Washington City Paper, June 13, 2008 (p. 40-41)
Symbolism & lore
"The black-and-white cookie, that trumpy and oversize mainstay of New York City Bakeries and delis, has not endured by dint of its taste. Unlike other edible icons, like New York cheesecake or bagels, there is no such thing as a delicious black-and-white cookie. They are either edible or inedible. Fresh-baked and home-baked are the best. The form persists as an object lesson. There is, of course, divergent opinion as to the message embodied in the cookie. One school holds that the cookie endures as an icon of balance. And on its shiny black-and-white-frosted surface, the cookie displays at least the peaceful coexistence of opposites good and bad, yin and yang, life and death, ebony and ivory…'Look to the cookie!' Jerry Seinfeld regaled the crowd waiting in a New York City bakery… He waived the round harlequin above his head like a placard for radical harmony…Balance is not the black-and-white cookie's only claim on the populace. Some swear it is a metaphor for clarity. In the gray of urban chaos, there is innocence and simplicity, in a black-and-white cookie."
—"Smart Cookies: Why black-and-whites have assumed deep cultural significance," Molly O'Neill, New York Times, January 28, 2001 (p. SM29)
Consuming psychology
" I think of as New York's answer to the Oreo, because there was a ritual to it," said Rochelle Udell, the editor in chief of Self magazine, whose family owned Ratchik's bakery in Brooklyn. "The black-and white always asked the question, which side you start with first? It was graphically appealing, and it allowed you enormous freedom to personalize how you ate it…
"New Yorkers…can measure a man by the tracks of his teeth imprinted in a black-and-white cookie. And burrowed right down the middle, revealing himself as ambivalent, incapable of choice and afraid of commitment. Center-line attack can also appear judicious. It allows you to savor equal parts of black and white. But the effect of the middle-of-the-road approach is devastating: that which connects becomes instantly devoured, leaving disjointed opposites…In the 'What's My Craving?' section of Chowhound.com… black-and-white devotees trade strategies for damage control…'You start with one flavor and then go to the next…an approved alternative method…Break the B&W in half, then in quarters. Then eat alternative quarters.'"
—"Smart Cookies: Why black-and- whites have assumed deep cultural significance," Molly O'Neill, New York Times, January 28, 2001 (p. SM29)
[NOTE: Ms. O'Neill states B&W are also called "Half Moons" in Boston and ""Harlequins" in the Midwest.]
Seinfield speaks
[Episode 77,"The Dinner Party," aired February 4, 1994].
[The Royal Bakery]
ELAINE: Ummm, I love the smell of bakeries.
JERRY: Mmm. Oh look Elaine, the black and white cookie.
ELAINE: Mmm.
JERRY: I love the black and white. Two races of flavor living side by side in harmony. It's a wonderful thing isn't it?…
JERRY: … and a black and white cookie, for me. Peace!… (Jerry and Elaine are waiting in line, Jerry takes a bite of his cookie and then speaks) JERRY: Uhm, see the key to eating a Black and White cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than, vanilla and chocolate. And yet still somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only *Look to the Cookie* — all our problems would be solved.
ELAINE: Well your views on race relations are just, fascinating. You really should do an Op-Ed piece for the Times. (Op-Ed stands for Opinions and Editorials)
JERRY: Hmm. Look to the cookie Elaine… Look to the cookie.
(Jerry sees a black man on the other side of the bakery eating the same cookie — Jerry raises his cookie up and so does the man — in a moment of racial harmony & unity to which he just spoke of.)…
JERRY: I don't know, I don't feel so good.
ELAINE: What's wrong?
JERRY: My stomach, I , think it was that cookie.
ELAINE: The black and white?
JERRY: Yeah.
ELAINE: Not getting' along?
JERRY: I think I got David Duke and Farrakhan down there.
ELAINE: (mocking – in a dopey voice) "Well if we can't look to the cookie where can we look?"

From YouTube. A survey of Kartell at the 2010 Milan International Furniture fair. Color uniformity contributes to a sleek, sophisticated look. Thirteen brand new products and three existing ones were presented, including the Magic Hole series.
The Magic Hole line from Kartell is a new trio of products manufactured via a rotational moulding technique. Included in the collection is a two seater sofa, an armchair and a smaller table-front armchair.
Above: Magic Hole two seater sofa at the 2010 Milan International Furniture fair. Below: Kartell promotional image for the Magic Hole two seater sofa.
The three pieces project a clean silhouette with straight surfaces ending in nicely rounded curves and slim sectional legs. The stylistic and functional design contrasts with and enhances the linearity of the pieces. An internal flared orange "pocket" was created in the interior hollow curve of both arms, which can function as a magazine holder or for other convenient storage. It's decorative to boot, thanks to the strong contrast of the orange against the black single mould frame, although I've seen it hinted that the Magic Hole will be made in gray and white in addition to black.

Mexican
Perfection
Feb 22, 2017 09:28AM ● By Tara Spencer
When Anthony Bourdain was asked what food trend he would like to see in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), he said, "I would like people really to pay more for top-quality Mexican food. I think it's the most undervalued, underappreciated world cuisine with tremendous, tremendous potential."
At Hook & Lime Tacos + Tequila, North Downtown's newest addition, you will find that top-quality Mexican food and all kinds of potential, though you won't necessarily have to pay more for it.
Owner Robbie Malm says after selling his share in Dudley's Pizza and Tavern, he wanted to do something smaller and more creative. With a little help from his wife, Erin, and his brother, Tim Malm, he has done just that.
Hook & Lime's menu has a selection of a la carte tacos, small plates, and tortas, all for under $20.
But if you do want to spend some money and have a more decadent experience, you can try the family-style tacos or the tasting menu (with or without tequila).
For the family-style tacos, you can choose between the whole fish, which is currently fried, striped bass, or bone-in barbacoa, which is cooked for 72 hours, crisped in the oven, and sent to the table for you to pick apart.
Head chef Alex Sorens says the tasting menu is something he's excited about because it gives his crew the opportunity to create dishes and test things out. If they're good, they'll go on the next tasting menu.
"It's stuff that we wouldn't normally serve to the public," he says. "It will be a select amount of these things, and when we run out, we run out."
The menu features a lot of fish, hence the "hook" in Hook & Lime. Sorens says he gets their fish from Seattle Fish Co. out of Kansas City, Missouri. He uses their program Whole Boat Harvest for some of the dishes, like the ceviche. The program sells the "leftover" fish from hauls, fish that would normally go to waste because they're not as well-known as others.
"The reason for that is because I'm trying to do my part to not be in that same group that's using all those super popular, over-fished species that are going on endangered lists right now."
Sorens also tries to support other environmentally conscious businesses, getting a lot of their ingredients from local producers like Plum Creek Farms and Jon's Naturals.
Malm says these are things you might normally only find at "higher-end, white tablecloth places." He says their goal is to make that food available to everyone.
"We have this amazing menu, these amazing items, that we're able to bring to people who normally wouldn't get to experience them," he says. "We're trying to take that food, that approach of sourcing locally and treating these items with respect, and make it more approachable. It doesn't matter if you're in a suit and tie or flip-flops, we welcome everybody here."
Malm says he has been "very, very fortunate" in finding the team to do that.
"Everyone seems to be really excited about their role in this," he says. "So I quickly found out that my best role is really to enable them to just dive in."
This enthusiasm extends to the front of the house, where bar manager Brian van Egmond works to create original cocktails using ingredients made in house.
"It's a fusion between speed and craft," he says. There will be a couple margaritas available on tap, but the fresh juices are added after they're poured.
So far, van Egmond says they've made their own orange brandy, orange liquor, syrups, and crème de cassis. He is currently working on a strawberry tequila for their strawberry margaritas. They also have a hibiscus-infused reposado, which is used to make the Roselle cocktail.
"That's one I think both Negroni and Cosmo fans will appreciate."
Van Egmond says they also have a well-curated spirits list, and plenty of beers to offer, including many from local breweries. There are also several wine options.
Of course, if what you're really looking for is some straight up, premium tequila, Hook & Lime has you covered.
"Tequila is my favorite thing to drink," Malm says. "It is my favorite thing to drink," he repeats, laughing. "And I'm a fairly recent convert."
But once he fell in love with tequila, it became a little bit of an obsession. He talks excitedly about touring tequila distilleries in Mexico with his wife. He says they toured five different spots, including Cuervo and Herradura.
The restaurant's offerings reflect his enthusiasm, with more than 100 tequilas on their list and four different styles of flights available if you want to do a little sampling before you commit.
"They say there's no zealot like a convert," Malm says. "And that is definitely true when it comes to tequila."
Undoubtedly, Hook & Lime will do their share in creating converts, both to tequila and to a greater appreciation of top-quality Mexican food.
Hook & Lime is open Sundays through Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.

Chip-maker Advanced Micro Devices continues to rejigger its executive team to reflect changes it is making in its business to attack new markets and get its channel partners peddling current and future products.
On Monday, the company said in a statement that it had tapped Roy Taylor to head up its global channel sales.
Taylor comes to AMD from Rightware, a Finnish software startup that peddles a user interface programming tool called Kanzi, where he was chief sales officer. Taylor studied at Maidstone College in England with a variety of study areas including finance, computing, ethics, and law. In 1994, he was one of the founders as well as the managing director at Addtron Group to help semiconductor companies in the United States and Asia break into the European market.
One of the companies Taylor helped was Nvidia, and in February 2000 he took over running that GPU chip maker's European operations. Over the next decade, Taylor held various positions at Nvidia and was put in charge of GPU sales, PC gaming alliances, and relationships with telecommunications suppliers.
"Roy is well known in the IT industry for his energy, his ability to identify new opportunities and his focus on delivering results," said John Byrne, who is Taylor's new boss in his role of chief sales officer at AMD. "I am extremely excited to have him join our team to take our channel business to the next level. Roy's enthusiasm and passion for technology evangelization will help strengthen our channel business as we bring new low-power APUs and discrete GPUs to market in 2013 that provide outstanding value, unmatched graphics capabilities and immersive user experiences."
Byrne, who came to AMD in 2007, was in charge of AMD's sales channel a few years back and ran AMD's Fusion partner program ahead of and during the launch of the hybrid CPU-GPU products that bear that brand name. And like Taylor, Byrne has experience in building local channels in Europe, having been CEO at Advanced Technologies, which helped set up European channels for graphics chip-maker ATI before it was acquired by AMD, among other companies.

Home/Opinion/DISCRIMINATION WHILE REPORTING: In conservative Karbala, female journalists face many challenges
DISCRIMINATION WHILE REPORTING: In conservative Karbala, female journalists face many challenges
A Karbala-based reporter tells tales of everyday discrimination while simply doing her job.
By Hiba al-Majid
On that day, I woke up early and put on the clothes I usually wear when working as a journalist in the field. I also wore my mask, to guard against the COVID-19 virus, and this covered most of my face. With dark glasses on, most of my face was covered.
I did not mind though. I knew that going to the site of anti-government demonstrations in Karbala, I did not want anyone to identify me.
Karbala, in southern Iraq, is a conservative city. That's why, as a woman, it's difficult to work as a journalist here. Almost everyone here believes that journalism – like almost every profession – should be a job for men only. Members of the local government and some leaders of the security forces have refused to allow female journalists to cover certain events that they describe as "women sensitive".
Still, I have managed to cover the demonstrations here in Karbala. These protests are part of a large number of protests around southern Iraq, that begin in October 2019. Demonstrators demanded that corrupt politicians leave the government and that the electoral laws be amended, among many other things.
I became aware of some of the lesser known practices among protesters and that made me cautious. Over the last six weeks, I never left the house without my mask and dark glasses on.
I remember the first week I spent with the protesters. They cooperated with us as did the security forces. We worked together comfortably and professionally.
But one day this week, things got a little out of control. There were clashes between the demonstrators and the security forces and at that time, I was the nearest journalist to those events. I was the closest but I was always careful to remain neutral.
I didn't confront the security forces nor did I offend the protesters. I really wanted to try and understand the different positions being taken. I used to stay late at night so that I didn't miss anything, near the square that the protesters had named Ahrar [Freedom] Square.
The clergyman told me: I do not want a woman to hold the microphone. Bring a man to do this.
There was a tent for members of the press in the square but mostly there were male journalists there. Most of these work for television stations, affiliated with various political parties. There were only four female journalists covering the protests regularly.
I used to think that the city's traditional ways would protect me from assault because to do this is considered shameful in our society. But things were moving fast and it seemed that it had become acceptable to use hurtful words against female journalists.
I often stayed in the square until midnight and I would hear some of the protesters shouting outside the press tent: "What is that woman doing in the tent so late?"
Fellow Journalists would answer: "She is our colleague." But that wasn't enough for the protesters. They would insist that I should have gone home after doing my coverage for the day simply because I am a woman.
In fact, one day my male colleagues actually told me to leave and to stay away for my own safety. Some of these male reporters were working for channels who were actually hostile to the demonstrations and they would often describe the protesters with very ugly words. But they were men and they also had bodyguards. It was easier for them to make friends with other men there and gain protection that way.
After leaving the press tent that night, I was forced to start covering the protests remotely. During one of the bulletins, I was preparing to do a news flash when a man riding a motorcycle came extremely close and screamed at me. I was really scared but I had to get used to this kind of behavior and not allow it to become an obstacle. My profession can have a lot of challenges and one must be patient.
Of the four female journalists covering the protests, two of my colleagues decided to do what they had been advised and stop reporting. Discrimination against us was very clear and forced them to withdraw. A third woman stayed at home but had her husband come to the protests for a couple of hours and take pictures and shoot videos. She would then prepare her reports using that footage.
The protests are not the only place where you can find such clear evidence of discrimination against female reporters. There are many other examples.
For example, if local government members are holding a press conference after 5pm they won't invite women. They will only invite a male cameraman, if they know the reporter is female. This is because they believe women should be at home with their families at this hour. Men are allowed to come to the press conferences at any time, in any place.
I always remember when the security forces operations commander in Karbala wouldn't allow me onboard a helicopter flight that was going to sweep over the city's borders. He allowed all the male reporters to go though.
He literally said: You are a woman and I have reservations about allowing you to come because while the men will be able to endure any difficulties, you won't.
I attempted to convince him that it was important for me to come along but he wouldn't allow it, telling me that my cameraman was enough and that I should base my report on that and rely on him for such difficult assignments. Yet again he reminded me of the frailties of femininity, as if being a female was something disgraceful.
There are other events that female journalists are not allowed to cover too. For example, tribal conferences and meetings, such as those that are convened to settle disputes. My cameraman colleague tells me not to even think about covering these events. "Please avoid the embarrassment that will surely come when they ask you to leave," he says. "They never allow women to attend these kinds of meetings, even if they are journalists. For them it is shameful to have women at such events."
There are other events that I also remember very clearly. Like the time that I was reporting on the Arbaeen pilgrimage in Karbala – this sees millions of Shiite Muslim pilgrims come to the city. Arbaeen marks the end of 40 days of mourning for the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed. I was there with my cameraman but I overheard one of the men on pilgrimage saying, "why are women poking their noses into a men's pilgrimage? You should be at home." He really believed that was my place and that women shouldn't work.
Another day I recall clearly: A clergyman I was interviewing refused to let me hold the microphone for him while speaking with him about an important event. "I do not want a woman to hold the microphone," he told me. "Bring a man to do this."
I started to think of the contradictions and inconsistencies inherent in such a demand. Why does he reject me? Why does he want a man to interview him? After all, I am wearing a headscarf and I am not an insignificant speck of dust. Why does he feel the need to undermine me?
This, and all the other incidents I mentioned, have been challenging but they have not kept me from my work. In fact, they have made me more determined than ever to succeed in my career and to hold fast to my chosen profession.

For this late February dinner party, we prepared a delicious meal featuring winter vegetables (read the recipes here) at our friends' Jim and Page's beautiful Cambridge home. See more pictures on our Flickr.
February is ghastly month. It's cold without the heart-warming effect of Christmas. There's the memory of January and the dread of March (and April, and probably May) ahead. There's Valentine's Day1 that brings out the Vitamin E deprived anti-Hallmarkers. There's the post January get-fit frenzy leaving off and the pounds from comfort food going back on. February is miserable. Or it can be miserable.
In our eighth dinner, we celebrated the winter harvest with generous helpings of winter vegetables like squash, fennel, carrots, and radicchio (it's sweeter this time of year). We came together at our friends' Jim and Page's beautiful dining room table, set with Chilewich, Libeco Home linen, Simon Pearce glassware and dinnerware, and Sabre flatware. The dinner made for a warm evening spent over a hearty meal–our favorite kind.
