Her parents focused their attention on their daughter and encouraged her to pursue an acting career. They enrolled her in acting classes and made sure she has a proper education. Her big break came in the form of modeling when she was only eleven years old. She was even named "Revlon's Most Unforgettable Women in the World".
She became a famous pre-teen model with her slick dark brunette hairstyle, blue eyes, and signature pout. She went on to model for other famous brands like L'Oréal cosmetics, Banana Republic, Christian Dior, Donna Karan, and Versace.

College football: Former Parkway star Brandon Harris announces return to LSU in 2017
Former Parkway star quarterback Brandon Harris announced on Twitter that he will be returning to LSU in 2017 for his senior year.
There was some speculation Harris would transfer after being benched early in the season in favor of Danny Etling, a junior transfer from Purdue.
In a Q&A on Twiiter late Monday, Harris was asked if he would be returning to LSU next season.
"I sure will," Harris responded.
After starting all 12 games in 2015 for a team that went 9-3, expectations were high for Brandon Harris entering his junior year.
LSU began the season ranked No. 5, but the Tigers lost to Wisconsin 16-14 in the season opener at Lambeau Field. Harris threw a late interception as the Tigers were trying to get into field goal range.
In the second game, then-LSU head coach Les Miles replaced Harris with Etling after just two series. The Tigers went on to win 34-13.
Etling started every game after that as LSU went 7-4. Miles was fired a day after the Tigers lost to Auburn 18-13 and Ed Orgeron was named interim head coach. Orgeron had the interim tag removed in late November.
LSU recently hired Matt Canada as offensive coordinator. Canada comes to LSU from Pitt, where he held the same position.
Harris led Parkway to a 13-1 record in 2013. The Panthers reached the Class 5A state championship game.

Only elite taxed in mini-budget: Tarin
On Thursday, Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin presented the Finance Supplementary Bill 2021 in the national assembly.
The government has withdrawn tax exemptions worth Rs343 billion on pharma, machinery, and imported food items.
Amid a chaotic session and a rowdy opposition, the minister explained the withdrawal of tax exemptions worth Rs160 billion on the pharmaceutical sector and Rs112 billion on machinery, saying they were adjustable and refundable.
He said talks of increased burden on people because of the supplementary finance bill was unfounded. He said that a Rs70 billion rebate, including taxes on luxury and business items, high-end bakery items, imported fish, expensive cheese and imported bikes, was not affecting the poor.
"The Opposition has been resorting to rumours regarding an increase in inflation due to the finance bill," Tarin said.
He noted that no sales tax had been imposed on imported second-hand clothes, fertiliser, and cinema equipment.
Talking about giving autonomy to the central bank, he said the agreement with the IMF was not just a matter of $1 billion.
He said that PTI's manifesto said that institutions should be given autonomy. "They (state institutions) cannot be strong until they are sovereign".

Lashing out at the opposition criticising the State Bank of Pakistan (Amendment) Bill, he said that the previous governments kept "interfering" in the matters of the State Bank.
Tarin explained that sales tax on the pharma sector and machinery was adjustable and refundable. He said a 17 per cent sales tax levy would raise around Rs71 billion for the national exchequer.
"Elites are the beneficiary of these exemptions, not the common man," Tarin said, adding that exemptions worth Rs343 billion had been aiding various interest groups for the past 70 years. "We have hit those items only that are used by the elites."
However, Tarin added that the levy of 17pc sales tax on specific items would raise Rs2 billion, affecting the middle class.

'More Centres Of Excellence Are Needed'
Eminent educationist, academic administrator and former director of IIM Lucknow and MDI Gurgaon Pritam Singh, over a period earned the title of a director with the Midas touch.

Eminent educationist, academic administrator and former director of IIM Lucknow and MDI Gurgaon Pritam Singh, over a period earned the title of a director with the Midas touch. In an interview with BW Businessworld's Suman K. Jha, he discusses the reforms in higher education and the challenges facing the sector and IIMs/ B-schools. Excerpts:
What do you make of the reforms process currently in the higher education sector?
The scenario of higher education in India, when compared with China, Japan, South Korea, western Europe, and the US, is very dismal. Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi talks about making India a knowledge hub, it's not going to happen, unless we think radically differently. So far, higher education has been modelled on the basis of western Europe. The European experience worked well in two areas — then Pandit Nehru talked about creating IITs and IIMs as centres of excellence, as also AIIMS. He realised that these professional courses would not be allowed to grow and flourish in the university system.
So many commissions have been formed to reform the university system. Do you see any changes? Same is the case with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Recently, the Kaw committee was formed, to which I was also invited. Many times, these committees' recommendations are thrown into archives.
The first reform required is to empower the academic institutions. How to give them freedom and autonomy. For instance, why should the directors of IITs and IIMs be appointed by the government? In some cases, like in IIM Lucknow, to appoint a director, they have a group discussion! When you have got boards, why shouldn't the boards appoint (these directors)? The government representative can sit with the board, but the decision should be taken by the board. The interface between the government and academic institutions needs to be redefined. The situation under state governments is much worse — where all the appointments are made by the political parties ruling the state.
This country needs radical reforms. At times the AICTE and UGC, it appears, enjoy the role of policemen, which should not be the case.
Is there a case for greater autonomy for IITs and IIMs, and why is the government dragging its feet? Is there a crisis that we are facing?
This is an old crisis, not something that has come up today. For my book IAS profile: Myths are realities, I interviewed politicians and bureaucrats. I gave a concept of "technocratisation of bureaucracy" meaning whereby let the bureaucrats decide in which field they would want to specialise after a certain period. They can't be experts in higher education, medicine, urban development at the same time! Bureaucracy is the biggest stumbling block for reforms. They (bureaucrats) have an interesting argument — "if you give freedom and autonomy to institutions, then who will come to us"?
When Smriti Irani came (in the Modi government), I said why shouldn't she have an advisory council, comprising academicians from different fields? They can advise the minister on various issues.
The autonomy of IITs, IIMs, and medical schools should be respected and preserved.
You have been associated with several top institutions like IIM-L, MDI-Gurgaon, etc. What do you think are the hallmarks of a great institution?
There are three pillars of education. One is creation of knowledge. Second is dissemination of knowledge, and third is application of knowledge. All the great global institutions —Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Chicago, etc. — have beautifully combined these pillars. That is why they are known as centres of holistic learning.
In India, how many holistic centres of learning can you think of? One area, where we have lagged, is research. Can you think of one management professor who has come up with a theory? For creation of knowledge, you must have good PhDs. How many institutions here are offering good PhDs Vacancies, non-availability of faculty are some of the rampant problems. Good MBAs may not like to go for PhDs. Good PhDs may not like to go for the academic field — this is the principle of diminishing returns.
If an MBA earns Rs 10-15 lakh per annum, why would he like to go for the fellow programme getting Rs 35,000 a month? I gave a concept, why not fix the fellowship at around Rs 60,000 per month, and let the government understand it in terms of long-term investment. Next come dissemination and application of knowledge. An MBA course is like a medical college — you cannot run a medical college without a hospital. IITs cannot function without workshops. Our MBA schools have very poor industry/corporate world interface.
In MDI and IIM-L (when I was there), for every area there would be advisory councils. And 50 per cent would be from the corporate world and the government, and rest 50 per cent academicians.
Dissemination of knowledge also requires in-depth understanding of our own ancient traditions.
You have been a great advocate of our own ancient traditions of wisdom. Why do you think we are not mindful enough of our own traditions in academia?
I am not an RSS person, but for how long will you be de-rooted from your own origin and traditions? That's why when I was at IIM-L and MDI, I floated the idea of leadership and value centres. I am a believer in Gandhi's principle that we should remain rooted, but we should also keep our windows open so that we can assimilate other ideas and worldviews required for our own well-being.
Increasingly, we are getting more numbers of IIMs (and IITs). Doesn't it dilute brand equity?
It's ridiculous. Some of the IIMs are there, but there's no industry and market (for interface). It's a political decision. When IIM Kozhikode came, I said why should not that IIM be in Cochin — an industrial belt? Rather than having an IIM in Udaipur, why shouldn't it be there in Jaipur? Why should we have these centres in places in Rohtak, or in Himachal Pradesh (and why not in Delhi or Chandigarh)? The short point I am making that political considerations must not dictate these crucial decisions.
In this country, when we have resource problem, should we go for this many IIMs — this questions needs to be asked. IIMs at Lucknow, Bangalore, Ahmedabad have sprawling campuses, why can't they run in shifts?
Plus, where are the professors and faculty members?
You are known as an educationist with a Midas touch. What should be the qualities of an educational administrator?
An administrator's capacity to attract star faculty is of utmost importance because institutions are known by their faculties. When I came in MDI, I hired people from IIM Lucknow, IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad.
Another important attribute is her/his connect and rapport with the corporate world.
The quality of education in lower-rung MBA institutes is a huge issue. Their graduates are not found to be employable. What's the way out?
I actually did this in IIM-L and MDI. Twenty per cent of the courses would be run by the industry people so that we are capable of combining action leaders and thought leaders. This paid rich dividends.
Second, MBA students come with lofty ideas — they are trained to be CEOs. In the industry, this is not how things happen. So, the academic-industry transition has to be made smoother and purposeful. This is where the industry leaders can tell them how life there is different from that in the academic world.
What would be your concluding remarks on higher education institutions and B- schools in the country?
One, the ministry (of HRD) must have an advisory council so that they understand the ground realities. Two, we must have more centres of excellence. Certain parameters must be fixed based on which centres of excellence be identified. Three, we must (re)examine the role of the AICTE. Four, we should have only one test for (B-schools) in the country.

At Hart Shaw Business Recovery, in light of recent announcement by HMRC, we're advising anyone with tax debts to take steps to get their affairs in order or they could have their bank account raided by them to recover monies owed.
Chancellor George Osborne first announced the new powers for HMRC in his March Budget, but HMRC has now clarified how this will work.
Around 17,000 people a year will have their accounts accessed by HMRC to target bank accounts to claw back unpaid tax and they will target anyone who owes more than £1,000 (although the average debt of those targeted will be £5,800).
HMRC says it will only target those who have long-term debts and have already received at least four demands for payment. It will also ensure that those targeted will be left with at £5,000 in total across all their bank accounts once HMRC has taken the money it is owed. It will also freeze the amount owed in accounts for 14 days to allow time for a debtor to pay before the money is seized.
Christopher Brown, partner at Hart Shaw Business Recovery, said: "HMRC has the power to take money from bank accounts, building society accounts and even ISAs. Although it has pledged that it will not leave anyone without any money in their account, clearly taking money in this way could cause problems with budgeting or meeting other expenses, so it has never been more important to get your tax affairs in order as soon as possible.
For further information, please contact Christopher Brown: 0800 068 6857 or via e-mail.

Interactive Map: See Where the NYPD Arrests Women Who Are Black, Latina, Trans, and/or Wearing Jeans
by Melissa Gira Grant
Check out the interactive map below.
Since 1976, it's been a crime to "loiter for the purposes of engaging in a prostitution offense" in New York City. That might sound like the kind of thing that went out of fashion along with XXX marquees in Times Square. But between 2012 and 2015, the NYPD arrested and charged 1,300 people with this misdemeanor.
The Voice obtained arrest data from Legal Aid and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services Arrest Statistics for the past three years. This data was then mapped by John Keefe.
The vast majority of those charged with this offense (81%) are women. Overall, according to New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services Arrest Statistics, 85% of those arrested for loitering for prostitution between 2012 and 2015 were black or Latina.
How exactly do police think they can tell when women are doing something "for the purposes of" prostitution? The law gives the NYPD very wide discretion. From the supporting depositions officers file with each arrest, police list as evidence such wholly innocent behaviors as waving at passers-by, having conversations with someone of a different gender, or wearing tights jeans or baring cleavage.
This September, eight women of color, including cisgender and transgender women, filed a civil rights suit with the support of The Legal Aid Society of New York, challenging the constitutionality of the loitering law. They describe a pattern of targeted and yet arbitrary policing, sweeping women of color from their neighborhoods into jails, sticking them with prostitution records that police then use as evidence against them to make arrests again and again.
But loitering arrests don't reveal the places sex work happens in the city, only the places where women are most likely to be policed based on their presence alone, whether they are engaged in sex work or not. Between 2012 and 2015, 68.5% of arrests for loitering for the purposes of prostitution were made in just five neighborhoods: Bushwick (83rd Precinct), Belmont/Fordham Heights (52nd Precinct), East New York (75th Precinct), Hunts Point (41st Precinct), and Brownsville (73rd Precinct), neighborhoods where residents are predominantly people of color.
Police say these neighborhoods are "prostitution prone," but as Kate Mogulescu, a supervising attorney in the Legal Aid Society's Criminal Defense Practice, points out, "this is based on a self-fulfilling cycle. They make an arrest in a place, therefore that place becomes 'prostitution prone' – and they can make more arrests in that place, because they have already identified it as prostitution prone."
"It is easier to prove somebody is guilty when it is already on their record," said Sarah Marchando, one of the women suing over the loitering law. "There is really no fight," You can't say, 'Hey, I wasn't doing this!' if you are dressed a certain way."
"The only thing that you can do to avoid it," Tiffaney Grissom, another plaintiff on the suit told me, "is just not go outside."

Across the virtual pond

Flagship Biosciences LLC
HistologiX
European Medical Agency (EMA)
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.—Digital pathology has opened a virtual window to the world of cells, enabling Flagship Biosciences LLC and Biocity, Nottingham, U.K.-based HistologiX to form a joint partnership aimed at providing histology services and tissue-based companion diagnostics development to European pharmaceutical clients.
The histology and slide scanning will be conducted by HistologiX in the U.K., the company announced Dec. 22. The slides will then be uploaded to a Flagship digital pathology secure server, where image analysis provides quantitation and pathology review can be conducted virtually.
Digital pathology is an image- based information environment enabled by computer technology that allows for the management of information generated from a digital slide. Digital pathology and quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) offer the ability for the image analysis and pathology review to be conducted remotely, and centralizes all data in a trial into a single location.
Tissue-based diagnostics is a major component in most oncology portfolios for companion diagnostics and depends on tissue procurement, outstanding IHC practices, image analysis and board-certified pathologist review.
Viewing virtual slides saves both time and money since geography is removed as a major logistics challenge, and the pathology analysis becomes both quantitative and can be reviewed by an expert pathologist in a study, and effectively communicated to pharmaceutical clients, Flagship says.
Steven Potts, Flagship's CEO, tells ddn this about the collaboration: "We actually were introduced by a top 10 pharmaceutical company in Britain, whom both Flagship and HistologiX were working with," Potts says. "They would send their histology locally, and we were working with them on image analysis and companion diagnostics. The client actually suggested that if the histology and scanning could be done locally, then the images could be analyzed for image analysis and pathology review from anywhere. The costs for shipping were so high, plus the geography time delays, that bringing these two companies together was critical."
As it is, each company complements the other, he adds.
"HistologiX is very strong in tissue-based laboratory services, from tissue procurement through histology and pathology reading," Potts says. "Flagship is strong in whole-slide scanning, image analysis and remote centralized reading of slides in a regulated environment. They fit extremely well together. Specifically, HistologiX handles the local histopathology and all tissue procurement, staining and slide preparation activities, followed by scanning of the slides. Flagship then holds the slides in our secure database and uses image analysis to provide quantitative readouts, followed by remote pathologist review."
The partnership "brings local histopathology together with global centralized digital repositories of slides and quantitative assessment of pathology scoring," he adds.
David Fairley, managing director of HistologiX, says that image analysis and quantitative IHC is a growing opportunity in oncology drug development, from early-stage research through clinical trials.
"Our partnership with Flagship Biosciences gives our clients virtual access, a centralized and standardized approach to slide review and a quantitative scoring approach that assists with pathology reads," Fairley says.
David Young, president of Flagship Biosciences, says the tissue-based companion diagnostics programs under development at pharmaceutical companies are far more complex than the currently approved biomarkers for breast cancer.
HistologiX brings "outstanding talent and experience" to the table, allowing Flagship to build quantitative IHC techniques on a strong GLP histology foundation, Young says.
Holger Lange, chief technology officer of Flagship Biosciences, says his team is working to define a regulatory approach to meet the needs of both the U.S. and European diagnostics approval processes. Potts explains, "Companion diagnostics development of tissue biomarkers requires three things—expert image analysis, pathology expertise and the ability to work with regulatory bodies in achieving widespread acceptance of new biomarkers and new technologies."
Lange has "demonstrated the ability to combine regulatory approval with novel image analysis technology," Potts says. "Holger and his team's achievement of five FDA clearances at Aperio in three years is unprecedented in digital pathology … and expands our ability to drive novel companion diagnostics—and particularly IVDMIAs—into clinical usage."
Lange is based in Germany in order to strengthen European alliances for Flagship Biosciences, and allow for more closely working with both U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medical Agency (EMA) guidelines for late-stage companion diagnostics, Potts says.
Flagship Biosciences, with a data center in Flagstaff, Ariz., and a Boston-based digital pathology office, is a pathologist-owned company that delivers quantitative pathology to pharmaceutical and medical device clients.
HistologiX Ltd. is a GLP-accredited contract research organization providing commercial services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and academic/healthcare industries in histology, IHC, human tissue procurement, clinical trials, molecular biology and advisory consultancy. The company was formed in 2005 by experts in the field.
More recently, HistologiX has been increasing its service portfolio and has become involved in providing histology and IHC services for Phase I & II clinical trials.


In the years that followed, it's no surprise that Loggins primarily worked on her own ventures, holding down a handful of modest gigs that weren't her own, two of which were during her high school and college years. Since then Loggins has developed a love for web design, UX/UI, designing, content strategy, and blogging (the list could go on). Two of her primary projects to date are FanBolt, an entertainment-based site that gets over 1 million hits a month, and her most recent female-focused publication, Women's Business Daily.
We recently caught up with the woman behind the screen on her passion for fierce females in technology, why she dove into digital publications, and how she keeps her entrepreneurial spirit in stride.
What publications are you primarily working on and what's your experience in this field?
I have FanBolt, my original one, which is an entertainment-based site and then Women's Business Daily. I have written for a number of publications over the years, I wrote for Geek Out with CNN for awhile. I've also done a little bit of lifestyle blogging, but I enjoy the tech space, travel, and entertainment the most.
And you're fully sustaining yourself through these publications?
I am. However, I also have a digital marketing and design company, so I'm working in a number of different areas that all correlate with one another. It keeps me on my toes and there's never a boring day. I do a lot of design and development work in addition to the publications.
What sparked you to start Women's Business Daily?
I feel very passionate about the topic of female entrepreneurship and how we're not really that well represented, especially in the tech space. I wanted to do my part to motivate and inspire women to take the leap into starting their own business. Having that freedom and that adventure and that motivation to get up and be like, "Today, I'm going to make it happen." The time is going to pass anyway. You can either do it today and be glad that you did, or a year from now you could be like, "Well, I could be a year into doing it. It could be a success if I had only started it a year ago." So I wanted to inspire people to take the plunge.
What type of content are you sharing through your publication?
On Women's Business Daily, I describe it like Forbes or Entrepreneur for females. It's everything from business tips and tricks and finance pieces (we did a beginner's guide to the stock market), but there's also tips on what to do to jazz up your home office. Every week we also do an outfit inspiration piece, like a power outfit or something that creates a little more visual interest. Fashion is another big passion of mine. When you're put together, you feel it and you feel confident.
Do you have other people featuring content for you?
On Women's Business Daily, my plan is eventually to bring in different female entrepreneurs from different spaces to contribute content, but it's still very new. I just launched it in May, so we haven't brought in additional contributors yet.
On FanBolt, I do have a number of different writers. It's still, I would say, about 95% me. I have a an amazing friend that goes with me to Comic-Con every year. She does a number of interview pieces for me throughout the year as well. I also have a handful of other contributors who are also incredible, so there's a little bit of help here and there.
My dad is also an entrepreneur. He started his own accounting firm and I think seeing him do that and just having that desire in me to do that as well and create my own path — I just pursued it. I had a couple of jobs along the way when I was younger. I worked at an ice skating rink when I was in high school, and I worked at a GameStop when I was in college. I also had an independent contract job with Warner Brothers for a few years, but aside from those experiences, it's been all my own companies.
How do you distribute your content? You're writing things, but do you have a newsletter? Do you have a schedule where people can go to your site and see new articles everyday?
I'm really big on content strategies, so I have an outline for myself as far as when I'm going to be publishing content. It all goes through a number of different social media accounts whether it's my personal Twitter, FanBolt's Twitter, Women's Daily Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook. It gets dispersed at different times and through different mediums and that's been really successful.
The newsletter thing I've dabbled a little bit in, especially on the FanBolt side of things. Since Google started dividing things off into 'Promotions' and 'Social' so many newsletters find their way into the unknown black hole, so I haven't done a whole lot in that space as far as newsletters recently. It's more just distributing it through social media as I've seen such success with it there.
What advice do you have for people who want to develop their own social media presence and sharing their own content?
I would say be patient, it takes a lot of time. I started FanBolt in 2002 and it was a really long journey for me before I started making money and seeing success. Then in the social media space, it's the same thing — a lot of patience, a lot of trying to share as much content as you can and engage with as many people as possible. I also found that incentive works really well too so I would host a contest on FanBolt and I'd say, "In order to enter this you have to follow me on Twitter or Instagram." So that's really helpful as far as building that social media presence. Time, good content, and consistency.
Do you have any tips for fellow entrepreneurs?
Your business has to be something you're really passionate about, it can't feel like work to you. I do so many different things, and it's so time-consuming, but it never feels like work to me. Make sure that you have the passion for it so it doesn't feel like work, then that shows through and your work is better as well.
I'm also a huge fan of lists. I'm a very list-oriented person. There's something very satisfying about checking something off, it's one of my favorite things in the world. Also, being able to prioritize your time and stay organized in terms of what you need to do and creating a content calendar for the things you have to do on a daily basis. Creating a schedule for yourself and sticking with it even if you don't necessarily feel the motivation that day, you have to just power through it.
What upcoming information can you share?
There are some cool things coming down the line with Women's Business Daily that I'm in the beginning stages of planning. There will be an app and really the main goal for it is to inspire and motivate women to chase their dreams and not be afraid to get out there and do it. Especially in the tech space, it's such a man dominated area. So getting out there and supporting other female entrepreneurs and creating a support group that you can lean on for inspiration. Creating a community of women who are all chasing their dreams. There is something very inspiring about that and being able to see that and represent that through the website and through everything with social media whether it's sharing our content, other's content or whatever it may be. Really just creating a strong foundation for female entrepreneurs through content that supports that message.


What is the role of waterfront parks in an age of climate change? On March 16, RPA hosted a Summit for Resilient Waterfront Parks, promoting an exchange of ideas between designers, park administrators, city planners, policy makers, civic leaders and community organizers around how parks along the region's waterfront can play a role in strategies for resilience.
As New York City's exposure to severe flooding increases, parks designed for resilience can serve to protect surrounding communities. This summit generated implementable ideas to ensure that the city's current and future waterfront parks and edges are designed for maximum resilience against climate impacts.
Below are some of the five-minute 'lightning' talks presented at the summit, assessing the issues facing waterfront areas from a wide range of perspectives. To see all the videos, visit our Summit for Resilient Waterfront Parks channel on Vimeo.

The investigation is being led by the US Department of Justice.
"We are co-operating with the authorities investigating us as a result of the case. However, it is too early to speculate on any outcome of the investigations," interim CEO Jesper Nielsen said.
The US Department of Justice probe centres around activities within Danske Bank's Estonian branch.
"We are co-operating with the authorities investigating us as a result of the case. However, it is too early to speculate on any outcome of the investigations," Jesper Nielsen, who was announced as interim CEO of Danske Bank just three days ago, said in a statement.
Danske Bank added that the investigations' outcome, and the timing of its completion are uncertain.
When announcing the scale of the issues in early September, Danske said it had identified about 10,000 customers who fit the profile of nonresidents, with 6,200 of those fitting what the bank called "the most risk indicators." Of these customers, Danske Bank said, the "vast majority have been found to be suspicious."
Analysts believe that the scandal could end up costing Danske Bank as much as $8 billion in fines,if it is found to have committed any wrongdoing.

With so numerous Children Toys accessible to buy we can be a little misplaced when it comes to deciding just what to get. Well, we should all keep in mind that the classic Dolls and Toys, like those in the Barbie assortment are still very well-liked, none much more so than the amazing Barbie Townhouse.
Buy a easy invitation card in pink and decorate it with pink ribbon or adhesive jewels. Make your personal card by reducing it in crown or tiara-shaped.

When is the last time you shut the mobile telephone off, turned off the pc, drank a glass of wine and took a tub? If you are honest with yourself, is it simply because you just don't really feel like it or because you are frightened you'll shed cash in your business?
3 Do not make up for absence of time invested with your children by buying them things. High quality time is so a lot more effective. Your children want your attention much more than something. They do not need things. They need you. No cell phone or Barbie Dreamhouse will at any time make up for time spent with you. This is no joking matter. Many parents easily confess and joke that they really feel bad they are not around, so they purchase their children things. Many mothers and fathers do not treatment that they do this. You can't purchase anybody's affection or adore. Your kid desires your adore, not your cash. Your kid will adore you for who you are, not for what you purchase them. If you purchase them special issues once in a while they will value them much more.
However, I can say with complete authority that I'm receiving much more and much more inquiries from people in the Uk who are disillusioned with the quality of lifestyle it provides and want to up sticks and move to France.

In summary, obtaining a building loan with a poor credit rating is possible with the right loan company. When the project is complete, there will be great satisfaction in what you have accomplished knowing that you built this home. Financing is a small more complex than a normal mortgage and will require periodic inspections by the lender. If you really feel comfortable building your personal home, go for it.


An extremely rare Jaguar XJR-15 has been offered for sale courtesy of Gosford Car Museum owner, Tony Denny. An extension of his expansive collection of rare, unique and luxury cars, this Jaguar XJR-15 carries a price tag of $975,000 AUD and is one of just four examples of the XJR-15 that reside in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Jaguar XJR-15 is powered by a 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 that produces 336kW of power, 570Nm of torque and weighs just 1050kg- about 300kg lighter than a Volkswagen Golf. Now, more than 25 years since it rolled off the production line, the Jaguar XJR-15 will still hold its own against todays crop of supercars, launching from a standstill to 100km/h in 3.9seconds and on to a top speed of 307km/h.
This Jaguar XJR-15 carries chassis number 18 of the 53 units produced in a production run that spanned 1990-92 and has recently undergone a full restoration by Mike Roddy Motors in Moorabbin, Victoria. Currently displayed at the Gosford Classic Car Museum on the NSW Central Coast, the XJR-15 reads a mere 439miles (710km) on its odometer and represents one of the most exciting and rare cars to be offered in Australia in recent times.

To Snap Every Yoke: World Law to End Slavery in Libya
In Africa, Being a World Citizen, Conflict Resolution, Current Events, Human Development, Human Rights, International Justice, Middle East & North Africa, Migration, Modern slavery, NGOs, Refugees, Solidarity, The Search for Peace, United Nations, World Law on November 29, 2017 at 4:25 PM
By René Wadlow
"Is not this what I require of you… to snap every yoke and set free those who have been crushed?" Isaiah, 58 v 6
There are many ways that an individual can be held in chains through his desires and emotions. These chains need to be broken by the development of the will and strong efforts of self-realization through mediation and therapy.
However, it is contemporary forms of slavery in its literal and not symbolic sense that must concern us today. The League of Nations on September 25, 1926 facilitated a Convention on Slavery which was a high-water mark in the world-wide consensus on the need to abolish slavery begun some 100 years before by small groups of anti-slavery activists in England, France and the USA. However as with many League of Nations conventions, there were no mechanisms written into the convention for monitoring, investigation and enforcement. Although the Slavery Convention outlawed slavery and associated practices, it not only failed to establish procedures for reviewing the incidences of slavery in States parties, but also neglected to create an international body which could evaluate and pursue allegations of violations.
Within the United Nations (UN) system, there have been advances made, especially in investigation both making public through official UN documents the investigations of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and through the work of Special Rapporteurs of UN human rights bodies.
Thus, in a UN report on "Trafficking of Children and Prostitution in India" the authors write "Nepal appears to be the most significant, identifiable source of child prostitution for Indian brothels. Thousands of Nepalese females under the age of 20 have been identified in India by various studies. The average age of the Nepalese girl entering an Indian brothel is said to be 10-14 years, some 5,000-7,000 of them being trafficked between Nepal and India annually."
As Professor Vitit Muntarbhorn, a former UN Special Rapporteur on the Sale of Children, has written, "Gender discrimination victimizes the girl child. Precisely because the girl child in seen in some communities as having lower priority, she is often denied access to such basic necessities as education which could ultimately protect her from exploitation. Another disquieting form of discrimination is based upon race and social origin, interwoven with issues of class and caste. It has become increasingly obvious that many children used in labor and sexual exploitation are lured from particular racial or social groups such as hill tribes, rather than the well-endowed groups in power."
Today, it is the fate of migrants blocked in Libya, forced into forms of slavery one thought had disappeared, which rightly has focused UN and NGO concern. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Prince Zeid Raad Al Hussein, has said that "the suffering of migrants detained in Libya is an outrage to the conscience of humanity." His evaluation is based in part on the in-depth field investigation of UN teams which have highlighted that the majority of the 34 detention centers in Libya are concentration camps in which abuse, torture, forced work and all sorts of violence are everyday occurrences. Smugglers of people are often free to do as they please with the complicity of police officials at all levels. The risk of women being captured and raped is so high that some women and girls who are often fleeing from conflict conditions in their home countries take massage doses of birth control pills before entering Libya so that they can avoid getting pregnant. However, this can often cause irreversible injuries.
There have been reports and filming of "slave auctions" especially in Sabba, the capital of the Fezzan province where routes from Sudan, Chad, and Niger meet and where roads leading north to the Mediterranean start. The UN also has reports from NGOs, especially humanitarian organizations, and from investigators of the International Criminal Court.
The issue which faces us now is what can be done. The League of Nations and the UN anti-slavery conventions are based on the idea that a State has a government. Unfortunately, Libya is a "failed State". It has two rival governments, a host of armed groups, and more-or-less independent tribes.
The Association of World Citizens has proposed that there could be created a Libyan confederation with a good deal of regional autonomy but with a central government which would be responsible for living up to international treaties and UN standards. For the moment, there has been no progress in that direction or in the direction of any other constitutional system.
Slavery is a consequence of disorder. Without a minimum of legal structure, there will always be those who arise to make short-term gains including by the selling of people. The conscience of humanity of which the High Commissioner for Human Rights spoke must now speak out boldly to break the yoke of slavery. NGOs need to take a lead. Governments are likely to follow.

Recent reports of October 25, 2017 from the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights based on extensive interviews with Rohingya refugees from Myanmar (Burma) now in Cox's Bazar area of Bangladesh as well as reports from the World Food Program and UNICEF point to anti-Rohingya genocide in Myanmar without using the "G" word. The High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein, said that the Rohingya flight was a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing". The brutal attacks against the Rohingya in Rakhine state have been well organized, coordinated and systematic, with the intent of not only driving the Rohingya population out of Myanmar but preventing them from returning to their home.
The Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948 requires action on the part of governments once genocide has been determined. Although any State party to the Convention can bring the situation to appropriate UN bodies, no State has ever evoked the 1948 Genocide Convention. However, the Convention is clear that a group need not have been totally destroyed for acts to be considered genocide. Intent is the key concept. Article VIII of the Convention states "Any Contracting Party may call upon the competent organs of the United Nations as they consider appropriate for the prevention and suppression of acts of genocide, or any of the other acts enumerated in Article III."
The Genocide Convention in its Article III states that the following acts shall be punishable:
a) Genocide
b) Conspiracy to commit genocide
c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide
d) Attempt to commit genocide
e) Complicity in genocide.
Article IV states that "Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article III shall be punished whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals."
The Burmese military have since shortly after the independence of the country in 1947 carried on a policy of repression against national minorities advocating independence of their area, later modified to demanding greater autonomy within a federal Union of Burma. The first and second (1974) constitutions of Burma took over the nationalities policy designed by Joseph Stalin when he was Commissioner of Nationalities in the then newly created USSR. A state within the Union would be named after a dominant ethnic group with a larger homeland of provinces for the majority population. Thus, there were seven ethnic minority states: the Chin, Kachin, Karen, Kayah (formerly called Karenni), Mon, Shan, and Rakhine (or Arakan) and seven divisions which are largely inhabited by the majority, sometimes called Burman or Bamar. As in the USSR, states had people other than the dominant nationality which gave its name to the state. Some were ethnic minorities which had always lived there; others were people living there who had moved from elsewhere for work, marriage or other life events. Some were Chinese or Indians who had moved to Burma for economic reasons.
In these conflicts, war crimes have been committed by the military and reported to UN human rights bodies:
a) arbitrary arrest and torture
b) enforced disappearances
c) systematic rape
d) confiscation of property
e) internal displacement of populations.
However, only in the case of the Rohingya can one speak of an intent of genocide – with calls by some nationalists and military to make Myanmar "Rohingya free". Among the 'nationalists', there are 'Buddhist extremists'. A form of Buddhist influence has grown since 2012 when speech and media restrictions fell away, opening a vacuum that extremists have helped to fill.
The chief difference between the Rohingya case and those of the national minorities along the Thai and China frontiers is economic. The Burmese military are brutal but also corrupt, especially among the officer corps. The minorities along the Burma-Thai-China frontiers are deeply involved in the trade of drugs, arms, gem stones, timber and the trafficking of women to Thailand and China. There are close economic links between the Thai and Burmese military as well as between the military and the armed insurgencies.
As long as the military get their cut of the income from trade, they are willing to put up with periodic cease-fire agreements, are selective in their scorched earth policy and close their eyes to certain cross-frontier economic measures. Unfortunately for the Rohingya, they live in a poor, subsistence agriculture area next to a poor, subsistence agricultural part of Bangladesh. There might be oil resources off the coast of Rakhine state, but they have not been exploited, and it is not sure that they are really there. Thus, there is no money among the Rohingya with which to bribe the military. The idea of getting rid of the Rohingya is not so wild a dream as most had already been declared as "stateless" in a 1982 citizenship law.

As government representatives are reluctant to raise the issue of genocide, in part for fear that they might have to do something, it has been the representatives of nongovernmental organizations who have publicly highlighted the issue, although no government has followed.
On behalf of the Association of World Citizens, I had raised the issue of genocide concerning the Fur and related groups in the Darfur, Sudan violence. Darfur means "House of the Fur" but there are also other small tribal groups in the area whose way of life may be destroyed by the systematic killing of old persons, those' who hold tribal history and tribal law in memory – there being no written records.
In 2004, in the UN Sub-commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, in "Darfur, Sudan: Non-impunity and Prosecutions for Genocide (E/CN.4/Sub/2004/NGO24), I stressed the systematic nature of the violence against the Fur, Massaleit, Zayhawa and Birgit. After citing the evidence from public UN staff reports, I wrote, "The evidence of systematic actions – to quote from Article II of the Genocide Convention – committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such – is clear. What is less clear is the determination of UN Member States to act to end this violence. Until now, the efforts of governments in Darfur have been inadequate as reliable reports indicate that human rights violations have grown worse. The Genocide Convention provides an adequate framework for urgent action. Only one State needs to call on the UN to act under Article VIII. We need political will for rapid UN action to stop genocide in Darfur now – and not after it is all over, when the cry will go up, as in the past 'Never Again!'"
A month after our appeal, the Acting High Commissioner for Human Rights, Dr. Bertrand Ramcharan, firmly stressed the Darfur situation in its harshest light." First, there is a reign of terror in this area, second, there is a scorched-earth policy, third, there is repeated war crimes and crimes against humanity, and fourth, this is taking place under our eyes." (Associated Press Report, May 8, 2004).
However, governments were able to avert their eyes, and no government invoked the Genocide Convention. Governments have often been unwilling to use the international legal structures which they themselves have created.
We continue to face the same issue with the massive flight of the Rohingya from Myanmar to Bangladesh and India. The welcome of the Rohingya by these governments has been "cool" if not hostile. It is very likely that a "Rohingya-free" Myanmar has been created as few persons are likely to return to Myanmar. The current challenge is how the Rohingya will be resettled in Bangladesh and India without creating new socio-economic tensions. The wider issue is to what extent are representatives of governments willing to act creatively on the few structures of world law which they have created.
The Disintegrating Donbass. Is there a future for a con-federal Ukraine?
In Being a World Citizen, Conflict Resolution, Current Events, Europe, Human Rights, NGOs, Solidarity, The former Soviet Union, The Search for Peace, Track II, United Nations, World Law on November 27, 2017 at 8:22 AM
The flight on November 23, 2017 of Igor Plotinitsky, President of the separatist Ukrainian area of the Lugansk People's Republic is a sign of the continuing difficulties of developing appropriate forms of constitutional government in the Ukraine. Plotinitsky was in open conflict with his "Minister of the Interior" Igor Konet whom he had fired but who refused to give up his position. It is reported that military troops are moving from Donetsk, the other People's Republic of the Donbass, and perhaps other troops from Russia but without signs of identification.
Much of the fate of the two Donbass People's Republics is in the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin, but he is unwilling to take public responsibility. Some have argued that two people's republics in Donbass is one too many and that the two republics will be unified under the leadership of President Alexandre Zakhartchenko of Donetsk. Meanwhile the Ukrainian government has reinforced its troops on the frontier with the separatist zone.

Officially the Donbass is under an agreement signed in Minsk on February 12, 2015 among Russia, Germany, France, and Ukraine acting under a mandate of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The agreement called for a ceasefire, local elections, a reintegration into the State of Ukraine but with constitutional reforms giving greater local autonomy. In practice, the Minsk accords have never been carried out.
The new crisis may return to the status quo of continuing tensions, occasional artillery exchanges, a lack of any effective cooperation, and a continuing economic decline. It is estimated that some 10,000 persons have been killed in the conflict since April 2014. However, there is a danger that the conflict slips out of control, and violence increases. The secretariat of the OSCE must be on high alert.
A crisis can at times be a moment to reconsider the possibilities and to seek a more long-lasting agreement. At the start of the Ukraine conflict in April 2014, the Association of World Citizens (AWC) had proposed the creation of a Ukrainian confederation with decentralization, respect for cultural autonomy, economic cooperation among the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and the European Union. Some of the ideas are reflected in the Minsk agreement, but distrust is so high that no practical steps have been taken.
The current crisis may serve as a reminder of how dangerous a disintegrating Donbass can be. An alternative would be to study seriously the possibilities of a con-federal Ukraine.
The AWC has a longstanding interest in developing appropriate constitutional structures for States facing the possibilities of prolonged or intensified armed conflicts. In the recent past, we have proposed con-federal structures to deal with conflict situations in Mali, Ukraine, Myanmar, Libya and Cyprus as well as Kurdistan which involves both the structure of Iraq as well as positive cooperation among Kurds living in Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran.

Con-federation and autonomy are broad concepts, capable of covering a multitude of visions extending from very limited local initiatives to complete control over everything other than foreign policy. Autonomy can therefore incorporate all situations between nearly total subordination to the center to nearly total independence. The ways in which the elements and patterns of autonomy are put together requires political imagination, far-sighted political leadership, a willingness to compromise, and constant dialogue.
In none of the six situations on which we have made proposals have we found much of a climate for meaningful negotiations although there have been formal negotiation processes carried out in the Ukraine case by the OSCE and on Cyprus by the United Nations.
Negotiations means a joint undertaking by disputants with the aim of settling their disputes on the basis of mutual compromise. Negotiation is a basic political decision-making process, a way of finding common interests, to facilitate compromise without loss of what each considers to be essential objectives. For the parties in a conflict to seek a compromise requires a certain climate – an informed public opinion that will accept the compromise and build better future relations on the agreement.
The challenges posed by the conflicts in Mali, Ukraine, Myanmar, Libya, Cyprus and Kurdistan need to be measured against the broad concept of security. Barry Buzan of the University of Copenhagen sets out four types of security. "Political security concerns the organizational stability of states, systems of government, and the ideologies that give them legitimacy. Economic security concerns access to the resources, finances and markets necessary to sustain acceptable levels of welfare. Societal security concerns the sustainability within acceptable conditions of the evolution of traditional patterns of language, culture, religions and customs. Environmental security concerns the maintenance of the local and the planetary biosphere as the essential support system on which all other human enterprises depend."
One of the difficulties in each situation is what I would call "the frozen image of the other". In each case, the group or groups demanding new State structures are seen in the minds of the current government authorities as being the same people with the same aspirations as when the demands were first made: the Karen of Myanmar today are the same as the Karen of the Union of Burma in 1947; the Tuareg of north Mali today are the same as those calling for the creation of an independent State in 1940 when the withdrawal of French troops to Dakar had left a political vacuum.
However, there have been evolutions in policy proposals and in the level of education and experience of new leadership of those demanding autonomy. Yet "frozen images" exist and need to be overcome within all decision-makers involved. The modification of "frozen images" is one of the tasks of nongovernmental organizations and Track II diplomatic efforts.

LES CITOYENS DU MONDE APPELLENT LA FEDERATION DE RUSSIE
A CESSER DE FERMER LES YEUX
SUR L'UTILISATION D'ARMES CHIMIQUES EN SYRIE
L'Association of World Citizens (AWC) est profondément déçue du veto opposé par la Fédération de Russie au renouvellement par le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU du mandat du Mécanisme Commun d'Enquête sur les armes chimiques en Syrie.
L'AWC soutient fortement depuis le départ la nécessité d'enquêtes internationales sur l'utilisation d'armes interdites par le droit mondial.
Un rapport de l'ONU publié en octobre établit la responsabilité des forces armées de la République arabe syrienne, notoirement soutenues par la force militaire russe, dans l'attaque au gaz sarin contre Khan Cheikhoun en avril dernier.
Les armes chimiques sont prohibées en vertu du droit humanitaire international et leur utilisation par quelque partie que ce soit dans le conflit syrien constitue donc un crime de guerre, susceptible d'être jugé comme tel par la Cour pénale internationale, les tribunaux nationaux ou toute institution ad hoc qui viendrait à être créée à cette fin.
L'AWC appelle la Fédération de Russie, le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU, et tous les Etats membres de l'ONU à apporter leur plein soutien aux enquêtes existantes et à mener sur l'utilisation d'armes illégales en Syrie, au premier rang desquelles les armes chimiques.
PRESS RELEASE – 2017-11-17-21-30-ENG
Paris, November 17, 2017
WORLD CITIZENS CALL ON THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
TO STOP CONDONING THE USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN SYRIA
The Association of World Citizens (AWC) is deeply disappointed by the veto opposed by the Russian Federation to a renewal by the United Nations (UN) Security Council of the mandate of the Joint Investigative Mechanism on chemical weapons in Syria.
The AWC has strongly supported the need for international investigations on the use of weapons prohibited by world law.
A UN report released in October established the responsibility of the armed forces of the Syrian Arab Republic, known to be backed by the Russian military, in the sarin gas attack on Khan Sheikhoun last April.
Chemical weapons are prohibited under international humanitarian law and their use by whichever party to the Syrian conflict is thus a war crime, liable to be tried as such by the International Criminal Court, national courts, or whatever ad hoc institution may be created to that end in the future.
The AWC calls on the Russian Federation, the UN Security Council, and all UN Member States to bring their full support to investigations on the use of illegal weapons in Syria, starting with chemical weapons.

I listened to the Asha Bhonsle version but somehow it didnt strike a chord… And I liked that the pics in this video are all Madhubala's. Ah!
So please keep it on a leash when you walk out on streets. This is my humble request to people with dogs.
Him" I told you its not going to do anything – in a very rude tone.
Him: Ignored me and walked to the opposite house and complained to the guy standing there.
Him: You can go – I will hold it – in a very princely manner.
When Chutku was born and we asked a panditji to write his janampatri he said: Oh! This one is a fiery fellow. He will be very stubborn and he will get angry very fast.
And I wondered every time I looked at a thin,frail, wrinkly little baby who would sleep on me through out the night,howl and whimper in colic pain – this fellow? angry? hmmmm, Im one too and I know how to handle him.
But I realise that its not at all easy! Nope! This little 2 feet fellow stands up to his full height, looks up at me or his Dad and says "AEye!" if he so much as thinks we might raise our voices. We should just let him be – to put his tiny fingers in the electric sockets, to chew his shoes 😦 , to climb stairs on his own, to jumping down from the window sill, to walk on wet,fresh swabbed floor, to play in water – all these now! And depending on his mood he decides if he wants to cry or show his anger.
Saturday was spent with parents. While Dad and I were trying to feed a few morsels of food to the little fellow – standing in the compound, there came a Kabadi wallah. The house is on an incline and the man must've been atleast 55 pushing his cart with effort. He stopped in front of the house and began talking to Dad! I was a bit surprised initially and then realised that he is the regular guy to whom my Dad sells all the old newspapers and knew his life history. My Dad then asked him if his son got a job. I believe that Dad helped the son write his CV.
Slowly his story unravelled. Widower with 3 children – 2 daughters and 1 son, he came to Bengaluru, started with this Kabadi business and educated all his children. Yes! Even his daughters! His youngest daughter is studying in 1st year BCom and the son is an aeronautical engineer from an university in Tamil Nadu! And all the 3 children have studied with free seats – obviously because there wasn't any other way. The son has now got a job in a govt company and the eldest daughter has just delivered a daughter too. The man mentioned that the Son-In-law is a gem of a person and he loves his daughter. I liked the fact that here was this man from what we consider a lower strata – who educated his children with no discrimination of boy/girl and I also admire the children who realised the difficulty of the parent and put their best efforts to get where they are today!

There is this great initiative in the blog world about Child Sexual Abuse and the entire month of April has been dedicated to Awareness. Sad but true – I've experienced myself and heard a lot of stories on this from many friends. This is bestest initiative I've come across here in the blogsphere so far and Im trying to do my bit. And like I was commenting on a Sanju's blog, If a couple of parents read this post and realise that its a big bad world out there and they need to equip their child to be prepared for the worst, let the child know that they as parents will always be there and support the child – I guess I would've done my small bit. Hats-Off to this initiative from Kiran and Monika for bringing up this topic and letting people tell their experiences – helping in some way to the healing process and best of all for bringing in the experts and teaching us parents how to handle something that is so obviously around but is all the time brushed under the carpet for various reasons.
The CSAAM April 2011 is an effort by a group of bloggers, both parents and non parents, to bring this topic to the fore, to generate discussion and awareness and remove the shroud of silence that covers it.
Across the month of April 2011, we will have over 40 bloggers and non bloggers write about various aspects relating to child sexual abuse. We have the privilege and honour of being associated with NGOs like Arpan, Enfold, Rahi and Tulir, web portals like Womensweb.in, South Asian Parent and Blogadda who will partner us in this initiative to spread the word about child sexual abuse and the need to talk about this issue.
We also will compile resources which will help parents, educationists and caretakers to educate children about their bodies and their rights to their bodies. We will also have survivor stories, first person accounts of those who have endured sexual abuse in some form as children and experts talking with us about the emotional and psychological ramifications of this.
If you would like to add to the discussion or know somebody else who would, please note that we welcome entries mailed to csa.awareness.april@gmail.com OR posted as FB notes and linked to Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Month Page OR posted on your own blog with the badge and linked to the main blog OR linked or posted on Twitter tagged twitter.com/CSAAwareness OR The list of topics is available here. Anonymous contributions are accepted and requests for anonymity will of course be honoured.
Please remember to send in a mail with all necessary links or just your input to csa.awareness.april@gmail.com so that we can track your contribution and make sure that it is not inadvertently lost or something.
iToday marks 1 year of the Grihapravesha and shifting to our home Samruddhi. A dream come true for Hubby and me. When we began we were short of cash, just changed jobs and even in our wildest dreams did we imagine we would build a home of our own. We started apartment hunting. But then (I guess Gods above suddenly decided that why will look at us too!) things fell into place and we decided to construct our own home.Even then we didnt dream that it would be so big, everyone advised us to construct 2 houses so we could rent one out and make it a little easy on the finances – but somehow we stuck to what we always dreamt about. With Chuktu being just 3 months old we didnt even think of doing the Grihapravesha, forget shifting, but that too just happened with the flow!
Though we are still very far away from having that Dream Home that looks picture perfect, there is still a feeling of content – this is where we want to provide the little fellow with every comfort and joy, where we can put our feet up and sit anywhere, sleep in any room, sing as loudly as we want, laugh all we like, run around the little fellow, invite people over.

£50m added to universities' funds to support students
£50m added to universities' funds to support students

On 2 February, the UK government announced an additional funding of £50 million for universities to help students facing financial difficulties due to the pandemic. This adds to the £20m announced in December.
This new budget will be distributed directly from the Office for Students (OfS) to universities, which will then give out to the students most in need, including international students. The government has explained that it will allow universities to support "students impacted by the pandemic, for example those facing additional costs for alternative accommodation, loss of employment, or extra costs to access their teaching online".
According to OfS, this budget is aimed to help students as soon as possible with their immediate needs so that it can be allocated before the end of the current financial year, on 31 March 2021. "£40 million will be prioritised for rent-related hardship, while £10 million is used to boost the £20 million hardship fund previously announced in December 2020", OfS explained.
However, Chief executive of Independent Higher Education, Alex Proudfoot, highlighted that the funds will not get to all students in the UK: "It's extremely rare for a university to extend any of its hardship funds to partner institutions, such as pathway colleges."
A spokesperson for the University of Sussex said: "We don't currently know how much of this will be accessible to Sussex students but we will share further information when available."
According to the BBC, "a survey from the Office for National Statistics suggested that a growing proportion of university students were not happy with their academic experience – and nearly two in three had seen their mental health worsen."
In January, the Welsh Government announced a further £40m budget for vulnerable students and Scotland did so with £30m. Northern Ireland started giving out financial aid to students due to COVID-19 in May 2020.

Animal diseases pose significant threats to health and food security. Here are nine things to know about animal vaccine development according to three Kansas State University scientists involved in vaccine research.
A field trial releasing genetically modified mosquitoes in the Florida Keys would not harm humans or the environment, according to documents released Friday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Even animals that spend all day on their front can have back problems , as the University of Queensland Small Animal Hospital avian and exotics team knows all too well.
British vets on Wednesday warned against throwing sticks for dogs to chase, saying that thousands of pets every year impale themselves or get dangerous infections from biting into the wood.
In many parts of the world, transmission of rabies and other diseases in free-roaming dogs is a serious health problem – and not only for the animals.
