Ben Hand Laverstoke Builder – Major Bungalow Extension in Hampshire.
Ben Hand – Laverstoke Builder – Bungalow Extension.
This is a substantial extension to this bungalow. The walls are up and the roof tiles are going on. Just in time, as the nights draw in. We've have great weather so are making fast progress. The windows will be in so which will seal the interior from the coming winter weather! There has been some major work integrating the new roof with the existing. This gives us a unique opportunity to create some interesting space and raise the height of the ceilings. As you can see from the final image on this page, it gives an interesting shape to the room whilst adding the feeling of additional space.
Really pleased that the roof tiles are on and windows are now in. The building is now protected from the elements. This means we can get to work on the interior of this major bungalow extension in Laverstoke. The heated flooring is down and today we are laying the floor screed on top.
There are some big benefits of underfloor heating over radiators. If it's something you are thinking about for your extension, then this article might be an interesting read.
We are well into this build and are integrating the extension into the original bungalow. Rather than adding on a few extra rooms, we have completely changed around the internal layout of the building. See the video below.
This has given us a new dynamic mix of open and closed spaces that will be developed into bedrooms, bathrooms, walk in storage and areas to relax and enjoy the countryside views beyond!
The exterior is nearly ready to be fully rendered to completely incorporate the new extension beyond.
We are well on the way to completing this project. So took a moment to show you how the interior is coming along.
Delighted to say that we have nearly finished this major bungalow extension in Laverstoke. The family have now moved back in and are delighted with the new space and feature bedroom. See video. Just some small finishing off items and this new home is complete!


I suspect such questioning will not be common now, and perhaps one can hardly blame the new generation of Public Servants, who have been trained to believe that politics is more important than ethics. But the combination of intelligence and practicality that this Commentary encompasses is perhaps the best indication that, unless we swiftly develop a better system of training, with greater attention to identifying objectives and prioritizing them rather than processes, the best laid plans of governments will get nowhere. Indeed perhaps there will be no such thing as plans, let alone well laid ones, as we replace governance with simply reactions to one crisis after another.
Practicality in the pursuit of identified goals is the keynote of the Commentary, and this needs to be stressed when, too often, laws are interpreted without sensitivity. The law was introduced to prevent violence against women, but there are still officials who, as the Ministry introduction to the book indicates, consider domestic violence 'as a private matter that needs to be resolved within the family'. Such an approach obviously leads only to further suffering for women, from what we are gradually beginning to realize is the most prevalent social problem all over the world. It is for this reason that I have been advocating community based solutions as well, to prevent rather than cure, with local protection committees that will identify potential problems and deal with them through counseling and support mechanisms rather than necessarily resorting to the law.
One problem about resorting to the law is the formulaic approach of some of our magistrates. I am aware of instances in which interim orders are given, because these are an easy option when examination of the merits of the case seems complicated, and then those orders last for longer than a permanent order can. The reason for a time limit on permanent orders is so that the problem can be resolved, rather than a preventive mechanism put in place on a permanent basis. Therefore to have interim orders that go on and on clearly defeats the purpose of the law, which is to overcome threats, not keep them looming over women – or indeed over men, for the law is not gender specific – when they are serious. Unfortunately, with clever lawyers having recourse to the Act when there is no serious threat but simply a desire to build up a case for other reasons, magistrates give in to convenience and simply issue orders which they then forget about, with no concern for the actual objective of the Act.
This Commentary then is a necessity to sensitize law enforcement officials, police and magistrates and also social workers, about the problems women face, and to promote sympathetic action. I hope it will be the basis now of workshops on the subject, in which the different executive bodies that have responsibility coordinate preventive and remedial action. I hope too that better understanding of the problem will lead to training also of counselors who will be proactive through community initiatives, since this is a field in which greater understanding of and attention to root causes of unsocial behavior can help with reducing problems.
The second book that was launched was by Dr Charika Munasinghe, who also has a distinguished pedigree of committed social service. This book is a Directory that presents in simple form all laws and policies pertaining to women. It will be particularly useful to law enforcement officials, but as the Ministry makes clear it should also be used to social service providers. They also note the role of health service providers, since this is an area in which much needs to be done to promote awareness, as well as to institutionalize practical preventive mechanisms. Unfortunately there is still too much diffidence and secrecy about matters in which information should be readily available, with public understanding of the support systems in place.
Both books will contribute significantly to fulfillment of the National Action Plan for Human Rights, which rightly stresses in several places the need for greater awareness for stakeholders of both rights and remedies. It notes the range of stakeholders, and I hope this will be registered by the Women and Chidren's Desks which the police have established in many areas. As I have mentioned previously, the commitment and capacity of many of those manning these desks is impressive, but it is necessary to make this universal, through more training programmes. These should also involve other stakeholders such as the Medical and Social workers mentioned in the Action Plan, and if possible Judicial Officers too.
For this purpose the two publications the Ministry brought out this week, which will I hope soon be translated into Tamil too, will prove invaluable tools. But it is also necessary, as the Action Plan makes clear, to raise general awareness of these issues. The Plan mentions the need to 'engage the media to formulate a strategy to promote positive attitudes on the role and status of women as a means to combat violence against women', and it would be good if the media gave appropriate publicity to these books, perhaps even publishing extracts from them, to fulfil its own responsibilities in the national effort to promote Human Rights.

Home Articles WrestleMania 35: Biggest Winners and Losers
WrestleMania 35: Biggest Winners and Losers
Ethan Absler
We are just a few days removed from WrestleMania 35 and the more I think about the show, the happier I am. Kofi Kingston is the WWE Champion, Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar, and Becky Lynch is a double champion; a record seven titles changed hands on Sunday making the show unpredictable and interesting. With that being said, not everybody on the card benefitted as much as others while some lost more than most. Here are the superstars who felt the most positive and negative impacts after this Sunday.
Winner- Kofi Kingston
Kofimania is real and it was one of the most inspiring victories in recent WWE history. Kofi Kingston defied the odds and became WWE's newest grand slam champion and WWE's first ever African American champion. Not only did Kofi defeat the white hot Daniel Bryan, but he proved that scratching and clawing and working hard for your dreams can end in success.
Losers- The Revival
After months of working hard to restore legitimacy to the RAW Tag Team division, The Revival lost to Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder, a team that consists of more than 300 straight combined losses. Not only did Ryder and Hawkins do nothing to deserve this title shot, but the fact that The Revival were made to look like fools after showing how real they are is bad booking and will hurt them in the near future and in the long run. The Revival losing left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Winner- Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins became the Kingslayer at WrestleMania a few years ago and this year, he became the Beastslayer as well. Rollins squared off against Brock Lesnar and fought back from a pre match assault by Lesnar, finishing him with a trifecta of Stomps to win the title. This wasn't your average WWE title win because Rollins is the first full time Universal Champion in ages and now has the opportunity to carry RAW on his back with the title on TV every week.
Winner- The IIconics
Just one year after their main roster debut, The IIconics captured the WWE Women's Tag Team titles at WrestleMania. After Beth Phoenix hit Bayley with an avalanche Glam Slam, Billie Kay capitalized on the moment and pinned the injured Bayley to steal the win. The IIconics have worked so hard and their strong character work and connection with the crowd earned them the prestigious title here. This is a massive win for the IIconics and a huge part of the Women's division lies in their hands.
Loser- Drew McIntyre
One of the best booked and well protected superstars in the WWE today came up empty handed against Roman Reigns this past Sunday. After how strong and monstrous WWE made Mcintyre seem, him losing might hurt his credibility. As long as WWE continues to book him strong, he shouldn't suffer too much from this loss, but nonetheless, a singles loss at WrestleMania is big.
Winner- Becky Lynch
The most obvious of all winners: Becky Lynch, The Man, Straight Fire, and now the RAW and SDL Women's Champion. Lynch competed in the first ever Women's main event last Sunday and won, solidifying her spot on top of the WWE mountain. This match was the culmination of all of Becky's hard work and a finale to the fantastic storyline that WWE set out for the fans.
The Revival
Colby Lopez
Prior to signing with WWE, Lopez wrestled under the ring name Tyler Black for Ring of Honor (ROH), where he held the ROH World Championship ...

After a month of stories, medication, steam and whacks, and all the fun he could manage, PJ Wigglebee was ready to see the doctor again.
"I did not die all month Dad!" he told Patrick.
"Then let's have more fun!" said Patrick, pretending to wrestle PJ.
"More stories please!" said PJ.
"When it's your bed time," said Patrick.
"Why do I have to have a bed time?" asked PJ. "The doctor said to have all the fun I want!"
"You need your sleep so you can have fun the next day," said Patrick, "and to get big and strong and healthy. Tomorrow Dr.Last-Chance is going to see how much you have grown!"
"I am a BIG boy now," said PJ.
"Then I can teach you to play ball," said Patrick.
"PJ, it's time for your bath," called Mommy Cricket.
"I don't want to take a bath," pouted PJ.
"He'll be right there," said Daddy Patrick. "Do what your mother tells you to do. She is taking good care of you so you can get well."
PJ knew Daddy Patrick was right. He took his bath and came right back out to see his dad.
"I'm scared of what the doctors will say tomorrow," said PJ.
"But look how big you've grown!" said Patrick. "I think the doctor will be surprised. It's all that good cooking your mom is feeding you."
"Mommy Cricket said we can have supper when I dry off," said PJ.
He shook as hard as he could to dry.
"Ta Dah!" he laughed. "I am ready for supper right now!"
"What are we having?" asked Daddy Patrick.
"Grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken soup!" announced PJ.
"Your mom knows that chicken soup helps you to get better," said Patrick. "And the best part is, you can taste the love. It will make you feel strong for your big day tomorrow."
The wonderful smells in the chicken soup took PJ's mind off his troubles right away. His dad was right, as usual. You could really taste the love inside.


Senegal and Napoli central defender Kalidou Koulibaly was allegedly a victim of racist chants at the San Siro against Inter Milan on Wednesday night.
Reports coming out of Italy believe that monkey chants were directed at the Senegalese international during Napoli's 1-0 loss to Inter last night.
Koulibaly has since taken to Twitter to react to the alleged racial abuse, apologising to his brothers and expressing pride in his identity.
"I'm sorry about the defeat and especially to have let my brothers down," Koulibaly said.
"But I'm proud of the colour of my skin. To be French, Senegalese, Neapolitan, and a man," he added.
It remains to be seen if the Italian Serie A will launch an investigation onto the allegations and which action will be taking if the racist attack is found to be true.

In February, Jason led a team of 5 whose mission was simple: Bless the kids at the Children's Home! Working alongside the kids, the team spent a few days sprucing up the inside of the building with a beautiful mural. Each leaf will contain the name of a child who lives at the home.
For fun, the team took nine kids on a trip to Bardiya National Park for an elephant safari. They were quite the site plodding through the Nepali jungle on their five elephant caravan! After the safari, they had dinner at a local restaurant. Most of the kids had never eaten in a restaurant and the team enjoyed seeing all those smiling faces around such a big table. It was memorable day for everyone.
The team spent some time with a local welder making a prototype metal bunk bed to be used in the orphanage. This project was started last year, but had to be put on hold because the original wooden bunk bed design was very difficult to build in Nepal. The design was changed from wood to metal and adjusted slightly so the beds are not so high. The metal bunk beds are much easier to construct and five sets have now been completed. These bunk beds will help the space in the house to be used more efficiently.
In addition to the existing facility which houses 20 kids, plans are in the works for a new building which will be built within the same compound. This new building will have two floors and 40 beds. Each floor will have a common room that can seat 20 people for a meal or be used as a classroom or a gathering space.

Da mãe a mulher : os circuitos do amor, desejo e gozo"
O que quer uma mulher? Essa questão permaneceu enigmática na obra de Freud. Alguns psicanalistas apontaram a maternidade como uma das respostas para a insondável questão do ser... mulher. O campo privilegiado da discussão desta tese é a articulação entre a feminilidade e a maternidade, num percurso de investigação dos textos freudianos, das teorizações pós-freudianas e das formulações lacanianas. Consiste em um estudo teórico-clínico, motivado por questões surgidas na experiência psicanalítica com sujeitos femininos, diante dos impasses do ser mãe e do ser mulher. Freud entendeu a maternidade como caudatária da função fálica na menina, mas manteve em aberto a questão sobre o enigma da feminilidade. A querela do falo permaneceu com os pós-freudianos; que enfatizaram o papel da mãe, a partir do discurso sobre o amor materno. Lacan, ao postular um mais-além do pai, realizou a promoção da sexualidade da mulher, enfatizando o desejo da mulher na mãe. Para destacar a disjunção entre a mãe e a mulher, esse estudo realiza a análise da histeria no romance Memória de duas jovens esposas (Honoré de Balzac, 1955) e da paranóia, a partir do Emílio (Rousseau, 1762) e do caso Aimée (Jacques Lacan, 1932). Para concluir, salienta a divisão entre a mãe e a mulher, articulando-as às vertentes de desejo e gozo, próprios aos sujeitos femininos.
On the woman and the mother : the circuits of love, desire and joy.
What does a woman want? This question has remained enigmatic in Freud´s work. Some psychoanalysts indicated maternity as one of the answers for the unsoundable question of being... a woman. The privileged discussion topic of this study is the articulation between femininity and maternity, in an investigation path of Freudian texts, of post-Freudian theories and Lacanian formulations. It consists of a clinical-theoretical study, motivated by questions originated in the psychoanalytical experience with female subjects, in face of the impasses of being a mother and a woman. Freud understood maternity as being submissive to the phallic function of a girl, but kept in open the question related to the enigma of femininity. The indictment of phallus remained with the post-Freudians who emphasized the role of the mother, from the discourse on maternal love. Lacan, when postulating on something else more than a father, promoted women´s sexuality, emphasizing the woman´s wish in the mother. To point out the disjunction between the woman and the mother, this study proposes an analysis of histery in the novel Memoirs of Two Young Wives (Honoré de Balzac, 1955) and of paranóia, from Émile (Rousseau, 1762) and also in Aimée´s case (Jacques Lacan, 1932). All in all, it stresses the division between the mother and the woman, articulating them to the slopes of desire and joy, totally related to female subjects.


Examples of Manipulative Behaviour - Something New Everyday!
We are all unique and as such, our behaviour will be diverse as well. When it comes to manipulative behaviour there are numerous variations but there is a common framework within which most manipulative behaviour can be identified.
I have put together a list of common examples of manipulative behaviour. By its very nature- manipulative behaviour is sneaky, deceptive and devious. This is why many people on the receiving end of manipulative behaviour are aware that something isn't quite right but they can't come up with any specifics. This can lead the 'victim' to doubt their perceptions and sometimes wonder if they are going crazy.
Manipulative abusers tend to dwell in extremes. They often start off being extremely thoughtful, considerate and attentive. They put you on a pedestal and put in a lot of effort. This is part of the grooming process. Getting you high on the feeling of flattery and feeling special is part of the manipulation. Once they have you emotionally 'hooked' they have a stronger position from which to start manipulating and controlling you. In some cases, manipulators lack empathy and part of the extreme behaviour involves them acting the part of a caring person. As they can lack empathy, they do not feel in touch with their emotions and have to go through the motions of acting in a way that they believe a kind, caring person would. This is when the behaviour can seem a little extreme and unnatural. For example if they are excessively polite and over the top when it comes to complimenting you and giving gifts it could be a sign of trouble. Beware of extremes.
Manipulative behaviour involves minimising its effects on others. When the recipient of a nasty or insensitive comment speaks up, the manipulative person, instead of being concerned that they have upset someone, will counter with the reply, "I was only joking. Can't you take a joke?" or "You are SO sensitive!". This completely minimises the emotional impact and leaves the recipient with no where to go. They are left feeling they are to blame.
Another example, "I am feeling so stressed today" (hoping for sympathy and support). Manipulators response: "You don't know what stress is!". If you get upset, you will invariably be told "I was only joking!". There is no validation, empathy or support. Manipulators can also be entrenched narcissists.
Manipulative people blame everyone else, they very rarely accept their part to play in life situations. Their behaviour is often seen by the as a response to something someone else has done. If they hadn't annoyed me, it would never have happened. If they had listened, I would need to act this way etc. They like to absolve themselves from any personal responsibility for their actions. A good example: you trip over their shoes/bag etc in the night as they have placed them too near the doorway. When you fall over them you are blamed by the manipulator because you should watch where you are going or you should have turned on the light (the fact that they left their belongings where people walk is not considered or mentioned).
Eye rolling, sighing, head shaking – these are some of the typical behaviours exhibited by a manipulator. They show disapproval or disappointment without having to say a word and leave the victim feeling shame and guilt. It is all part of the process of making another person doubt themselves – a slow-drip erosion of their confidence occurs over time.
4. You can't understand why, with so many apparently good things in your life, you aren't happier.
5. You know something is terribly wrong, but you can never quite express what it is, even to yourself.
6. You start lying to avoid the put downs and reality twists.
7. You have trouble making simple decisions.
8. You have the sense that you used to be a very different person – more confident, more fun-loving, more relaxed.
9. You feel hopeless and joyless.
10. You feel as though you can't do anything right.
11. You wonder if you are a "good enough" girlfriend/ wife/employee/ friend; daughter.
Behind the scenes, your manipulative partner might be finding subtle ways to thwart and frustrate you. This secret, and the ensuing frustration for you, allows them to feel in control in a passive-aggressive manner. For example – they 'forget' to tell you about an important phone message and as a result you miss an important meeting. When they know something is important to you, they will adopt subtle behaviour that provokes an emotional response from you. One of the ways they control and manipulative is by knowing your weaknesses and pressing those emotional buttons. For example – I dated a man who would be strict with my dog and shout at my dog, knowing that it would upset me. The dog became a legitimate target for eliciting emotion in me and thereby allowing him to feel in control. When I reacted, it would 'obviously' result in blame being placed upon me and how overly sensitive I am.
If you are in a rush to get somewhere, a manipulative person might drag their heels and delay you even further. Everything is done so subtly that it is hard to point to specific evidence and ultimately the sane person begins to unravel while the manipulator feels more powerful. Withholding information is a very common tactic, manipulators revel in the fact that they have information and that you are none-the-wiser.
6) Telling you that you "don't listen"
A very arrogant tactic that places the manipulator in the 'righteous' position and assumes that the listener is not understanding correctly. A sane balanced person will also look at their own communication skills instead of blaming another for not listening correctly. This serves to keep you diminished and undermine your confidence. It keeps the manipulator in the 'power seat'.
"Why have you done it that way?"
"I am wondering why you…."
"I suppose you are going to…"
"I thought that was what you wanted…"
Manipulators will do their best to change you subtly to accommodate the way they see the world. This ranges from how you should dress, who you should see, how you should do the housework, your shopping habits (buy this product, not that one), he way you bring up the children, how you behave around others, how and when you need to be available when they want to speak to you…the list is endless.
When you….. criticise me, I feel…..undermined, so what I would like you to do is …..stop judging me and try to say more positive things.
Ask questions, this makes the manipulator explain themselves and think through what they are saying. It also gives you a chance to challenge them.
Dont accept statements, reframe them as a question or repeat for clarity…are you asking me if….never allow them to foist their views on to you.
When dealing with manipulative people, answer questions only, not statements. Train your ears to recognize the difference. You must learn to ask the Yes/No question, but not get tricked by a disguised question. Repeat the last 3 or 4 words of the statement back to the manipulator, forcing him/her to admit it was a question.
"I know you're unhappy, but that's the way it is"
"I'll have to think about that"
"We'll talk later when you aren't so upset."
"We don't always have to agree."
"I prefer it that way"
– Calmly let the manipulator know that what was said was outrageous and unacceptable without causing the situation to escalate They will probably not acknowledge the way you see things (my minimising and never taking responsibility for their behaviour) but still let them know you don't accept what they are doing or saying.
– Once you have identified that this person uses emotional manipulation tactics: WALK AWAY! Their act will only work on an audience.
I'll post it on my Internet magazine New Trend.

President Sheikh Khalifa decree paves way for expats to represent UAE sports teams
As of September, men married to Emirati women as well as children born in the UAE and any player who resides in the Emirates will be eligible to register for sports clubs and, potentially, represent the country

Expatriates will soon be eligible to join local clubs and represent the country in all sports in what is being called a "ground-breaking occasion in the history of UAE sports" following a decree from the President, Sheikh Khalifa.
As of September, men married to Emirati women as well as children born in the UAE and any player who resides in the Emirates will be eligible to register for sports clubs and, potentially, represent the country.
The Presidential decree was declared in November and the Federal National Council approved the regulations and conditions drafted by the UAE General Sports Authority on Monday.
"It was approved on Monday and we are announcing it today," said Mohammed Khalfan Al Rumaithy, president of the General Sports Authority, at the Abu Dhabi Sports Council auditorium on Tuesday.
"Indeed it's a ground-breaking occasion in the history of the UAE sports and we are extremely delighted of the milestone.
"The expatriate community that has helped us to build the nation is now provided the opportunity to play a role in sports.
"This is a long-awaited need for the expatriate community. Their participation in local sports will create a bigger pool of players for the national federations aside from the competition they will provide for the Emirati players."
All UAE sports federations including football, basketball, volleyball and rugby clubs will begin implementing the Cabinet-approved regulations in September and local clubs can start the registration process.
"We are excited and honoured to issue this statement for the participation of players in this category as it will encourage more athletes to participate in different sports," added Al Rumaithy.
"Of course this is a pathway that's new and we'll have some teething problems at the beginning. We'll know where we stand at the end of the first season and if amendments are required, we are prepared to do that."

UAE cricket: players hopeful of changing perceptions after President Sheikh Khalifa's decree
While many of the country's predominantly expat sports such as rugby and ice hockey already have a high number of foreign playing staff, the UAE Football Association along with the country's basketball, volleyball and handball federations, will be first entities to trial the new regulations.
For example, the presidential decree means UAE football clubs can register an unlimited number of expatriates in all age-group competitions, male and female, from ages 4 to 18. However, teams can register only six players - three born in the UAE, three residing in the country - in their 18 and 21-year-old squads and senior squads.
The unlimited number of foreign players that can be registered at age-group teams will also apply to the country's basketball, volleyball and handball clubs. However each of these teams can register 10 players born in the UAE and 10 players residing in the Emirates (male and female) in their over 18s and senior squads.
The General Authority for Sports has requested the respective federations make their own proposals and guidelines with regards to the participation of the new registered players.
Teams who play in Arabian Gulf League, the top tier of football in the country, are allowed to register four foreign players in their squad. It is unclear if players registered from next season will qualify to represent the UAE national team.
"As of now football [it] is open for all registration except youth and first team which the federation will approve," said Ibrahim Abdulmalik, general secretary of the General Sports Authority.
"This is just for registration. In the three years, each federation will approve one or two players.
"Some of those federations may request to approve all and we might approve them all. However, the authorisation will come from the government."
Aref Al Awani, a board member of the General Sports Authority and general secretary of Abu Dhabi Sports Council, said the decree was based on the need to involve the expatriate community in sports, adding it could also help boost each team's economic model.
"The initiative came from the country's leadership and it will benefit our players and national teams," he said.
"It will help us fill the stadiums with lot of families and fans. Obviously there will be a lot of talent emerging and those making it into the national teams."
The decision is also in line with the country's Centennial 2071 Strategy to put sports at the heart of society and reinforce family cohesion, as it is also the latest move to benefit the children of Emirati women who are married to expat men.
The children of those couples are not automatically entitled to Emirati citizenship and have in the past not qualified to join official sports teams and compete in national competitions.
The judo and ice hockey federations in the UAE have welcomed the decree.

Shane & Holly - Married!!
Home » Shane & Holly - Married!!
Shane and Holly were married last month down in Invercargill. And in true Invercargill fashion the weather was a bit iffy, but the rain managed to mostly hold off while we were out and about taking the bridal party photos. Shane and I used to play hockey together, before going on to the same high school as well, so I have known him for quite a few years not. Not that I will admit to exactly how many. I didn't get to meet Holly until the day of the wedding but it was pretty clear right away that they were a perfect match. Anyone who knows Shane knows he needs a strong woman to keep him under control, and she also has to have a quick wit to keep up with his come backs. In Holly I think he has truly found that. On the day of the wedding she was such a stress free gorgeous bride, but she seems to have mastered a look that immediately pulls Shane back in line haha. Something that isn't an easy feat.
I can tell you guys are going to have some amazing laughs over the years, and plenty of awesome adventures together. I hope you had the perfect wedding day and I can't wait until the rest of the photos arrive in your mailbox.

MATCH REPORT: Gunners FC v Lane Head Raiders | The Bloxwich Telegraph – incorporating The Bloxidge Tallygraph and Walsall North News. Founded 2006.
Last Sunday 30 September, under-13's football teams Gunners FC (Bloxwich) and Lane Head Raiders (Willenhall) played a match at Willenhall Comprehensive School.
The final score was Lane Head Raiders 6, Gunners FC 3.
The following match report has kindly been provided by Daren Fellows, Chairman of Gunners FC, who are based at the Gunners Club in Bloxwich.
The Gunners next match will be played at Leamore Park tomorrow, Sunday 6 October, against Blakenall Harriers. Kick-off is at 10.30am. New members are welcome.
The third game of the season for the Gunners was an entertaining game against Lane Head Raiders on a windswept pitch at Willenhall Comprehensive School, with both teams in search of their first win of the season, but eventually Lane Head came out on top.
Lane Head kicked off and started to attack straight away, putting the Gunners defence under pressure from the start.
After 2 mins a break from the Gunners resulted in a fine pass from Harry Fellows setting up Jake Bailey whose shot whistled over the bar. Lane Head then started to attack, forcing good tackles from Aston Billiard and debutant for the Gunners Adam Stephens.
Dion Patterson in the Gunners goal made several fine saves in the opening minutes, along with some good defensive work from Joe Tennant, Billy Cartwright and Leon Powell. Gunners then started to attack, with another good pass from Harry Fellows to Jacob Kirwan who fed the ball to Michael Price who shot just over the bar after 10 mins.
The game then went into a battle for the midfield, with both teams evenly matched until Lane Head gained posession from a Gunners goal kick which resulted in them taking a 1-0 lead after 17 mins.
From the restart, Lane Head forced a throw in deep into the Gunners half and the resulting cross from it was turned into the Gunners net by their defender Adam Stephens for an own goal and 2-0 to Lane Head after 18 mins. Two minutes later a Lane head shot narrowly went over the bar, and this seemed to spur the Gunners on with a Harry Fellows shot on 24 mins going over the bar and a good effort from Joe Tennant saved by the Raiders goalkeeper a minute later.
A good pass from Henry Jones to Harry Fellows on 29 mins again produced a shot over the bar. Could this spell of Gunners pressure produce their first goal of the season ? Yes it could and did and after 32 mins another good pass from Henry Jones to Jake Bailey resulted in a fine shot and goal 2-1. A minute later a cross shot from Harry Fellows across the penalty area was narrowly missed by Michael Price for a tap in but it didn't matter as a minute later and just before the half time whistle Ryan Wain scored after a mistake in the Raiders defence after a Gunners corner 2-2. Half time.
The Gunners kicked off the second half hoping to start as they finished off the first but the Raiders were pushing forward and forced a good tackle from the Gunners defender Leon Powell. A minute later a shot from James Hale hit the Raiders post and the resulting clearance saw another good tackle from Leon Powell.
The game was now going from end to end, with both teams evenly matched, but after 42 mins Lane Head went 3-2 up after a good build up and attack. Two minutes later the Gunners forced a corner taken by Harry Fellows and resulted in the ball going in the net from a Ryan Wain header for his second and the Gunners third 3-3. Another two minutes later a pass from Harry Fellows to Jake Bailey who's shot was tipped around the post and the resulting corner caused Michael Price to shoot wide.
The Gunners defence were then called into action on 50 mins but Aston Billiard cleared the lines well. After 55 mins Lane Head forced a goal kick to the Gunners but the goal kick was intercepted and a pass and shot from Lane Head made it 4-3. From the kick off Ryan Wain forced a good save by the Lane Head Goal keeper but their clearance drove them forward into attack and produced a fine goal to make it 5-3.
Again after the restart and on 60 mins Lane head pushed forward and scored on the break to make it 6-3 and put the game beyond the Gunners. The Gunners did force a corner 3 mins later but Ryan Wain's shot went wide. The Gunners did have the ball in the net after 68 mins but Harry Fellows was given off side. The final whistle went 2 mins later.
Dion Patterson in the Gunners goal produced some good saves and the defensive team of Joe Tennant, Leon Powell, Aston Billiard, Adam Stephens and captain Billy Cartwright cleared the ball well and produced some good solid tackles. The midfield team of Henry Jones, Jacob Kirwan, Ryan Wain, Jake Baily and just edging it as star man for the day Harry Fellows all battled and at times passed the ball about well, creating chances for the forwards James Hale and Michael Price who also tried their best and on another day their chances would have gone in.
Even though it was a much better performance from the Gunners they are still in search of their first win of the season, and if they perform like that again and make sure they put their chances away it shouldn't be long before it happens.


Still, the hope is that the macroscopic properties of these particles as a whole can be explained from the microscopic interactions between them. For instance, we want to explain why water turns into ice (or vapour) at an appropriate temperature and how this transition exactly takes place. Similarly, we want to explain why a piece of iron at low temperature becomes magnetised when it is moved close to a magnet and remains magnetised after it is moved away from the magnet. We also want to understand why this does not happen when the temperature is high. For most physical systems the trajectories of the particles are so chaotic that they cannot be captured by explicit formulas. A full description would require knowledge of the positions and the speeds of all the particles at all times, which clearly is hopeless. Yet, we need large numbers of particles to explain collective phenomena: a single water molecule cannot transit from water to ice (or vapour). So how should we go about?
The way out of this dilemma is offered by statistical physics: for most purposes a full microscopic description is not necessary: it suffices to have a macroscopic description in terms of a small number of relevant quantities, such as pressure, density and temperature. In statistical physics, the system is assumed to be a random sample, drawn from a set of allowed microscopic configurations that are consistent with a set of given macroscopic constraints. These constraints determine the pressure, density and temperature of the system. Collective phenomena, such as whether the system is a solid (ice), a liquid (water) or a gas (vapour), should follow from a combination of the microscopic interactions and the macroscopic constraints.
A physical system is rarely isolated. Typically, it is part of a larger system, that in turn is part of an even larger system, etc. For example, the molecules in a glass of water depend on what is outside the glass. The molecules at the top of the glass interact with the air above it. This air also contains water molecules, and a lively exchange takes place close to the surface of the water. We are thus tempted to believe that, in order to understand what happens inside the glass of water, we need to model all the molecules around the glass as well, and perhaps even all the molecules in the room the glass finds itself in. Fortunately, this is not the case, since the water molecules can only interact over short distances.
Statistical physics deals with the definition of the appropriate probability distribution over the set of allowed microscopic configuration, such as the locations and the speeds of the particles and how they bounce off each other and the wall of the container. These distributions need to take the macroscopic constraints into account. For instance, when the temperature is high the particles move quickly, which should be reflected in the choice of the probability distribution for the positions and the speeds. There are three main choices of probability distribution, referred to in statistical physics as ensembles, each describing how the system interacts with its surroundings. Each represents a different physical situation.
The micro-canonical ensemble, where hard constraints are placed on both the energy and the number of particles: both are set to fixed values and are not allowed to vary.
on the number of particles.
The grand-canonical ensemble, where both the energy and the number of particles are soft.
to model an isolated system (= a system that exchanges neither heat nor particles with its surroundings).
to model a closed system (= a system that exchanges heat with an "external reservoir", with which it is in thermal equilibrium, but no particles).
to model an open system (= a system that exchanges both heat and particles with the external ereservoir, with which it is in thermal and chemical equilibrium).
Choosing the wrong ensemble amounts to choosing the wrong microscopic probability distribution on which the computation of macroscopic quantities is based. For instance, if the experimental physicist is certain that the system under study does not exchange particles with its surroundings, then ensemble 3 is clearly not the right choice, and it would make the microscopic description of the system more noisy than is necessary.
What happens when the system is very large? Traditionally, in physics books the three ensembles are assumed to be thermodynamically equivalent: for large systems fluctuations of macroscopic quantities around their average value are expected to be small and to be asymptotically vanishing as the number of particles tends to infinity. In the latter limit, called the thermodynamic limit, the soft constraints effectively become hard constraints. The assumption of ensemble equivalence dates back to Gibbs  and has been verified for traditional models of physical systems with short-range microscopic interactions and subject to a small number of macroscopic constraints. Ensemble equivalence is convenient because it allows us to choose any of the three ensembles to work with. Soft constraints often are computationally easier to work with than hard constraints, which makes the choice of ensembles 2 and 3 more convenient than that of ensemble 1. If ensemble equivalence holds and the system is large enough, then all three ensembles lead to the same outcome.
However, ensemble equivalence does not hold in general. This fact is important because it means that an experimental physicist must make a careful choice what ensemble to use for modelling the system, even when the system is large. A wrong choice means a wrong answer to macroscopic questions. Despite the fact that many textbooks still convey the message that ensemble equivalence holds for all physical systems (as some sort of universal thermodynamic property), over the last decades various examples of physical systems have been found for which it breaks down. Touchette  offers insight into why this breakdown may happen.

How long is 326,000,000 inches?
It's about 5,500,000 times as tall as Danny DeVito
In other words, the height of Danny DeVito is 0.000000180 times 326,000,000 inches.
(a.k.a. Daniel Michael DeVito, Jr.) (1944-) (actor)
Danny DeVito, best known for his role as Louie De Palma in the 1978-83 television series Taxi, is 59 inches tall. After graduating from high school, DeVito became a licensed cosmetician and it was out of interest in cosmetology that he first enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and later began to study acting.
It's about 5,000,000 times as tall as Napoleon
In other words, the height of Napoleon is 0.000000200 times 326,000,000 inches.
(a.k.a. Napoleon Bonaparte; a.k.a. Napoleon I, a.k.a. Napoleone di Buonaparte) (1759-1821) (French leader)
Despite his frequent characterizations as much shorter than average, Napoleon was a period-average height of approximately 67 inches. The mis-characterizations have been attributed to British propaganda and to the confusion between French and British units of measurements used at the time.
It's about 4,500,000 times as tall as a Refrigerator (Side-by-side)
In other words, 326,000,000 inches is 4,630,000 times the height of a Refrigerator (Side-by-side), and the height of a Refrigerator (Side-by-side) is 0.0000002160 times that amount.
(a.k.a. Fridge, a.k.a Icebox) (for G.E. Profile model no. PSDW3YGXSS; total exterior height)
A common refrigerator model measures 70.50 inches in total exterior height. When General Electric released its first widely-marketed refrigerator — the "Monitor Top" model — in 1927, it sold over one million units.
It's about 4,500,000 times as long as a Full Size Bed
In other words, 326,000,000 inches is 4,347,000 times the length of a Full Size Bed, and the length of a Full Size Bed is 0.000000230 times that amount.
(North American/Australian standard; length; mattress only)
A Full-Size mattress measures 75 inches from head to foot. Although most antique beds were smaller than modern beds, it was not uncommon for beds in the medieval Europe to reach 5 sq. m (49 sq. ft) for those in positions of wealth or power.
It's about 4,500,000 times as long as a Twin Size bed
In other words, 326,000,000 inches is 4,347,000 times the length of a Twin Size bed, and the length of a Twin Size bed is 0.000000230 times that amount.
A Twin-Size mattress measures 75 inches from head to foot. Although most antique beds were smaller than modern beds, it was not uncommon for beds in the medieval Europe to reach 5 sq. m (49 sq. ft) for those in positions of wealth or power.
It's about 4,000,000 times as tall as Michael Jordan
In other words, 326,000,000 inches is 4,140,000 times the height of Michael Jordan, and the height of Michael Jordan is 0.0000002420 times that amount.
(1963-) (professional basketball player, most famously of the Chicago Bulls)
Michael Jordan is 78 inches tall. While a sophomore in high school, Jordan was about 7.870 inches shorter and was denied the opportunity to play on the varsity team, supposedly because his coach considered him too short.

Frustrated by veto voting system, Langford mulls recreation change
Langford council could withdraw from a shared operating agreement for West Shore public recreation facilities, unless a majority voting system is introduced.
The fastest-growing city in B.C. pays $2.19 million per year - almost half the municipal contributions made by members - toward West Shore facilities, including Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre and Bear Mountain Arena.
But since the agreement requires unanimous approval, any of the six municipal members - Langford, Colwood, View Royal, Metchosin, Highlands and the Juan de Fuca electoral area - can block new capital investment, even if it is supported by all other members.
Given Langford's investment in its own facilities, Coun. Lanny Seaton said there is little reason to stay in the partnership, unless changes are made to the voting system.
"I would say there would be no point in Langford being there anymore," he said. "Having said that, I would want to go to the public because, ultimately, it's up to the taxpayers. But as a taxpayer, what would be the point of being there?"
A consultant's report - to be discussed today at the group's annual general meeting - urges members to allow for majority voting when making financial decisions, Seaton said.
Leaving the group would mean giving up its share in the property and facilities, but Langford has built its own sites - including the $24-million City Centre Park sports complex.
Councillors say they are close to a deal with the YMCA to operate a pool.
With that in place, the city would be replicating most of the services offered through West Shore Parks and Recreation.
Langford Mayor Stew Young has said he would not support leaving the group, but his council has grown frustrated with the voting system.
Most recently, Metchosin would not support the construction of a new weight room at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. The council eventually allowed it, but a deal was made so Metchosin would not have to pay.
"It's been frustrating because some people just want to keep it all the same," Seaton said. "Our objective is to keep Juan de Fuca current."
Metchosin Mayor John Ranns said the real issue is the inequity of Langford paying twice for recreation.
He has suggested ways of letting Langford out of the partnership, he said, but no action has been taken.
"I called their bluff, and nothing came of it."

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Scott Kazmir to a three-year contract, the team announced.
The deal was first reported by Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. The deal is worth $48 million with an opt-out clause after the first season, reports CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
Kazmir is coming off a year in which he went 7–11 with a 3.10 ERA in 31 starts for the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros.
The left-handed pitcher will be entering his 12th season in the majors after spending time with the Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Angels, Cleveland Indians, Athletics and Astros. He has a 98–90 record in his career.
The Dodgers pitching staff already includes southpaws Clayton Kershaw, Brett Anderson, Alex Wood and Hyun-Jin Ryu.

What is a peptide? Peptide bond definition
July 26, 2020 July 23, 2020 by user
What is a peptide?
A peptide is a short-chain made up of amino acids that, together with other peptides, forms a protein.
The number of amino acids in a peptide can range from two amino acids to fifty amino acids.
Depending on the number of amino acids present in the peptide, the peptides are of many types; peptides with ten or fewer amino acids are called oligopeptides, and peptides with more than ten amino acids are called polypeptides.
Polypeptides with around 100 amino acids are considered proteins.
Peptide bond definition
A peptide bond is a special type of amide bond formed between two molecules where one α-carboxyl group in one molecule reacts with the α-amino group in another molecule, releasing one molecule of water.
The peptide bond is also known as the isopeptide bond where the amide bond is formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid at positions other than alpha.
The peptide bond formation process is an example of a condensation reaction that results in dehydration (removal of water).
Peptide bonds are covalent bonds that exist between any two amino acids that result in a peptide chain.
There is a partial double bond between the carbon and the nitrogen in the amide bond that stabilizes the peptide bond.
The nitrogen involved in the bond donates its solitary pair to the carbonyl group, which produces a resonance effect.
The resonance is highly stabilizing since the electrons can be delocalized on multiple atoms resulting in a resonance structure.
Therefore, the resonance structure stabilizes the bond but also limits rotation around the amide bond due to the partial double bond.
Peptide bonds have a flat configuration that suffers very little movement around the C-N bond, but the other individual bonds on either side of the C-N bond exhibit a high degree of rotational motion.
Peptide bond formation mechanism
The mechanism of peptide bond formation is a dehydration synthesis process.
During the formation of a peptide bond, the carboxyl group of one amino acid moves to the amino group of another amino acid.
Subsequently, a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom of the carboxyl group (COOH) of the first amino acid are lost. In contrast, one hydrogen is lost from the amino group (NH2) of the other amino acid.
This results in the release of a water molecule (H2O) along with the formation of an amide bond (C-N) between the two amino acids.
The process of forming a peptide bond between two amino acids results in a dipeptide molecule.
Therefore, a peptide bond is formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid is condensed with the amino group of another amino acid that is released in a water molecule.
The formation of peptide bonds is an endergonic reaction that requires energy, which is obtained from ATP in living beings.
Because this reaction involves the removal of a molecule of water, it is called a dehydration synthesis reaction.
Peptide bond degradation mechanism
The degradation of the peptide bond takes place through hydrolysis, therefore it requires the presence of water molecules.
The degradation reaction is very slow since the amide bond between the amino acids is stabilized by the partial double bond.
Due to the partial double bond between the carbon and nitrogen molecules, the carbon atom generates a slight positive charge.
In the presence of water, the OH– ions in the water attack the carbon atom, resulting in the degradation of the peptide bond.
The remaining hydrogen ion in the water attacks the nitrogen atom that results in the amino group.
As a result of this, the peptide molecule is divided into two units; one unit with the carboxyl group and one with the amino group.
Peptide degradation is an exergonic reaction that releases approximately 8-16 Kjol / mol of energy.
Because protein degradation reactions are very slow, they are generally catalyzed by proteolytic enzymes such as proteases and peptidases.
Peptide bond hydrolysis
Hydrolysis of the peptide bond is the main step in all protein hydrolysis reactions.
The most common method of protein degradation is acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the peptide bond.
Peptide hydrolysis is also essential in some synthetic reactions in which amino acids in one peptide are cleaved and transferred to another peptide, resulting in separate peptide synthesis.
Similarly, different peptides and proteins accumulate in cells resulting in toxicity. Hydrolysis of the peptide bond is also essential in the elimination of these toxins.
The hydrolysis of the peptide bond is also an important step in protein digestion in living beings.
The hydrolysis of the peptide bond occurs in the presence of water and is catalyzed by the presence of acid.
Hydrolysis of the peptide bond is one of the degradation mechanisms of the peptide bond where polypeptides break down into smaller peptides or smaller peptides break down into separate amino acids.
Examples of Peptide Bond
The peptide bond is present in all the proteins that bind the amino acid in the chain.
Monopeptide: having one amino acid
Dipeptide: having two amino acids
Tripeptide: having three amino acids
Tetrapeptide: having four amino acids
Pentapeptide: having five amino acids
Hexapeptide: having six amino acids
Heptapeptide: having seven amino acids
Octapeptide: having eight amino acids
Formation of Peptide Bond
At the molecular level, a peptide bond is formed through a dehydration reaction. As seen in the image below, two amino acids can bind when two hydrogens and oxygen are removed from the molecules. An amino acid presents a carboxyl group to the reaction and loses a hydroxyl group in the reaction (C binds to O in duplicate). The amino group of the other amino acid loses hydrogen. The nitrogen is then replaced in place of the hydroxyl group, forming a peptide bond. This is the reason why peptide bonds are also known as substituted amide bonds. The two amino acids are now known as residues since they have lost several atoms and are now covalently linked together.
The carbon to nitrogen bond formed in a peptide bond is different from the carbon-nitrogen bonds in other parts of the molecule. Oxygen on the carboxyl side of the bond has a slightly negative charge. Nitrogen retains a slightly positive charge. This interaction causes carbon and nitrogen to share more electors than they normally would, and an electrical dipole is established. The additional electrons cause the bond to act as a double bond, which is rigid and cannot rotate. This 6-molecule unit is known as a peptide group and is often represented as a ball or plane. The carbons at the centers of each amino acid have 4 equal bonds and can rotate freely. Therefore, when many amino acids are linked, they form rigid plane chains of atoms around the peptide bond, connected by flexible carbon bonds. This allows a peptide chain to twist and bend, leading to advanced formations that can catalyze reactions.
While scientists have figured out how to connect a chain of various amino acids, a typical protein has thousands of residues connected in series. Furthermore, the reaction favors the individual amino acids and requires a lot of activation energy. Therefore, creating proteins without enzymes is not easy. To do this efficiently, cells have developed an efficient mechanism to build new proteins. In the genome of each organism, there are codons that describe different amino acids. The genome carries the exact sequence of these amino acids, which together will produce a functional protein. First, the information must be copied into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. Then the transfer RNAs (tRNAs) bind to specific amino acids. These tRNAs correspond to different codons of mRNA, which in turn correspond to different DNA codons. The actual peptide bond is formed in a special protein macrostructure known as a ribosome, shown below.
The ribosome is a very large and complex cell structure consisting of proteins, RNA, and other components that help catalyze the formation of a peptide bond. This is known as the lengthening stage of protein synthesis. The ribosome helps to match the tRNA with the corresponding mRNA. In turn, the RNA changes slightly in shape, catalyzing the reaction between two amino acids and expelling a molecule of water. The chain that forms leaves the ribosome. The ribosome, being a large protein in itself, changes shape after the reaction has taken place and moves further down the mRNA chain, starting the process all over again. Finally, a codon is found that signals the end of the protein, allowing the ribosome to know that all of the protein has been created. At this point, the mRNA and the new protein will be expelled, and a new mRNA will be collected, creating a completely different protein
All life is based on links between approximately 20 different amino acids, which all organisms use and modify for their own purpose. The number of different combinations is unlimited, while the peptide groups in the proteins form peptide backbones in all the proteins. The different groups attached to each amino acid cause the molecule to fold and fold into complicated structures, due to the weak interactions between the molecules of the different groups. Therefore, across the many millions of proteins created by different species, there are several very similar structures that correspond to similar amino acid sequences. Because amino acids are connected in a series with a similar direction, scientists generally draw and identify proteins from the amino or nitrogen side, and pass through the carboxyl terminus as an endpoint.

Q: Weird Condition behaviour within ComponentDidUpdate I came up a weird situation while playing with javascript and react.
async componentDidUpdate(previousProps, previousState) {
    console.log(previousState.questionNo,this.state.questionNo);
    console.log(!previousState.questionNo === this.state.questionNo)
    if (!previousState.questionNo === this.state.questionNo) {
            console.log("I'm here")
            const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * 12); //12 is hardcoded i need to find sth better later
            const resp = await questionsApi.get(`/questions/${index}`);
            this.setState({ question: resp.data });
        }
    }

And when i check in console eventhough values are not equal component did not rendered. And also in console console.log(!previousState.questionNo === this.state.questionNo) awkwardly always provides false.
console output is like below:
1 1 Component.js:16
false Component.js:17
1 2 Component.js:16
false component.js:17

any idea what is going on ?
Thanks

A: Replace
if (!previousState.questionNo === this.state.questionNo)

by
if (previousState.questionNo !== this.state.questionNo)

This is because doing !previousState.questionNo will convert the value to a boolean (mostly false) which will never be equal to this.state.questionNo as that is a number like 1, 2, etc

On range of issues, mayors are taking the initiative
By Andrew Ryan Globe Staff,June 20, 2016, 8:48 p.m.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney proposed taxing sugar-sweetened beverages at 3 cents per ounce, the highest such proposal in the country. Charles Mostoller/New York Times
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney pushed through a tax on sugary drinks to pay for early childhood education.
Former Denver mayor John Hickenlooper brushed aside the misgivings of other officials and led the successful fight for a commuter rail expansion that is transforming his car-choked city.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton proceeded with efforts to curb carbon emissions despite state lawmakers' skepticism about whether humans caused climate change.
In a hyperpartisan era of government gridlock, mayors are increasingly tackling society's most vexing problems, from mass transit to immigration, income inequality to economic development. It is mayors and other urban leaders who have led the fight for a $15 an hour minimum wage, banned plastic grocery bags to protect the environment, and expanded paid parental leave.
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh has worked to stem the flow of illegal firearms from northern New England, where neither state nor federal law require background checks for private gun sales. The city found that nearly one-fifth of the traceable guns used in Boston crimes came from Maine and New Hampshire. In the absence of congressional action, Walsh has convened regular summits with New England mayors and police chiefs to figure out how to reduce firearm trafficking and gun violence.
"There is a new American localism where cities are at the vanguard of problem solving," said Bruce Katz, a scholar at the Brookings Institution and co-author of the 2013 book "The Metropolitan Revolution." "The federal government talks about it, mayors do it. There is a huge vacuum in the United States because of partisan gridlock."
The rising prominence of mayors has roots in the 1980s and '90s, when urban leaders faced skyrocketing crime and failing schools, Katz said. Now, after decades of suburban flight, the world is becoming increasingly urban.
Mayors feel the pressure. The Boston University Initiative on Cities interviewed 89 urban leaders from across the country in 2015 for its "Menino Survey of Mayors," named for the late former Boston mayor Thomas M. Menino. The survey found that mayors "feel that they are tasked with some of the most thorny policy issues facing America without the accompanying aid from higher levels of government that their predecessors might have expected."
"A lot of mayors felt that within the last five years, they were taking on a lot more responsibility," said Katherine Einstein, an assistant professor of political science at BU and co-author of the Menino survey. "The federal government and state government were a lot less helpful and a lot less likely to tackle the challenges cities were facing."
The rising prominence of mayors has pushed beyond national boundaries. Pope Francis held a conference in July on human trafficking and climate change that drew Walsh and roughly 50 other mayors to the Vatican. In December, more than 600 mayors traveled to Paris to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Earlier this month, Walsh and urban leaders from across the United States and China met in Beijing for the climate summit.
"This level of government is much better at collaborating internationally, partly because when they disagree, they don't end up having a war," said Mark Watts, executive director of C40, an alliance of more than 80 mayors across the globe working together to combat climate change. "Wherever you go in the world, cities are all facing the same kind of problems."
Watts worked for former London mayor Ken Livingstone and said when his City Hall tenure began in 2000, he had limited interactions with city officials from elsewhere in the world. When Watts was leaving government eight years later, he said he would "never go a week without talking to somebody from an international city."
Mayoral power does have limits. Even with partisan gridlock in the United States, the federal government has sweeping power that can make nearly universal health care the law of the land, for example. It is the federal government that makes the most significant investments in research and development, and maintains Medicare, Medicaid, and other pillars of the social safety net.
Still, federal officials can be a little envious of City Hall.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry said in an interview this month that big city mayors have "some of the best executive authority in politics."
"You can make things happen," Kerry said, adding, "That was one of my great frustrations in the Senate. It's partly why I ran for president, because legislation is a different kettle of fish.
"Even the president of the United States," Kerry said, "doesn't have some of the direct executive authority a mayor has in a great — in a big city."
