LORDSWOOD FC
Reserve Team
Paul Caulfield
HUNTER APPOINTED AS 1st TEAM MANAGER
Lordswood Football Club are pleased to announce Neil Hunter as the new 1st team Manager.
Following the resignation of Darren Anslow, the committee have moved quickly to find a replacement.
Neil is no stranger to the Southern Counties East League having been involved with clubs for the past 15 years. He has worked previously at Erith & Belvedere and Beckenham Town and was part of the successful management team at Fisher that challenged for the Premier Division title two years ago. He was part of the Punjab United team early in the 2019/20 season before joining Anslow's coaching setup at Martyn Grove in January. Neil had impressed the committee in the short space of time that he was involved and expressed an immediate interest in taking on the role once Darren had advised of his intention to leave.
Neil Hunter - Lordswood FC's new 1st Team Manager
Joining Neil at the club are Michael Dodsworth (Assistant Manager) and Sonny Gladdish (1st team Coach). Michael needs no introduction to Lordswood having featured as a player during his career and has played at many clubs in the SCEFL and Isthmian Leagues. He recently had a coaching stint at local rivals K Sports. Sonny had stints in both the Charlton Athletic Academy and Millwall's Academy as a player before moving into Coaching. He had 4 successful years with Maidstone United in their youth set up, before joining East Grinstead Town in the Isthmian League. He has also had roles at Hastings United, Margate, Sheppey United and K Sports.
Vice Chairman, Paul Caulfield said: "We are delighted to welcome Neil, Michael and Sonny on board as the new management of the first team. Neil is well respected within non-league football and his enthusiasm for the role really shone through. The club is reaching an important stage with its development of the youth structure and we are looking forward to seeing further progression as our Kent Youth sides push on towards men's football. The key link between the youth setup and the 1st team is the Reserve section and we are delighted that Imran Englefield and Chris Gardner will continue their management of the Reserves who had a great season in 2019/20 with a number of players having already featured in the 1st team."
"Whilst we still do not know when football will resume, we are pleased to have finalised the management structure so that preparations can begin to ensure we have a settled squad raring to go when we finally get the green light to play again."

Donna Hughes Announces Release Party for Two New Albums and Music Video Premiere
by dlhughes | Aug 11, 2014 | News, Press Releases
Award-winning Singer-Songwriter Donna Hughes will celebrate two new albums, FROM THE HEART and FLY, and the music video premiere for the song, "The Red Oak Tree" on August 23, 2014. This highly anticipated event will take place at the Sunset Theatre located at 234 Sunset Avenue in Asheboro, NC beginning at 7:30 PM. Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $5 for Adults and free for children 10 & under.
Hughes certainly showcases her tremendous songwriting talents on both projects with an amazing 21 tracks (19 original songs plus 2 covers) on her Bluegrass album, FROM THE HEART and 12 tracks (8 original songs plus 4 covers) on the piano album, FLY.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of getting some amazing musicians together to interpret brand new songs from my heart. I find there is no greater high than watching them assemble the notes together for the first time. I so admire and respect their patience with the long sessions. It's rather addictive, and as long as I am alive there is someone willing to listen, I'll continue to write more and seek the hands that bring the songs to life," said Donna.
Musicians joining Donna on FROM THE HEART include: Tim Stafford (Lead Guitar), Scott Vestal (Banjo), Rob Ickes (Dobro), Jenee Fleenor (Fiddle & Harmony Vocals), Cory Piatt (Mandolin), Zak McLamb (Bass), Lucas White (Rhythm Guitar), and special guest Andy Kearns as Auctioneer on her original song "Gone." The album was mastered by Scott Vestal at Digital Underground Studios, Greenbrier, TN and Recorded at Hilltop Studios, Nashville, TN with Engineers Steve Chandler & John Nicholson. Tracks 3, 7 & 10 were recorded at Riverside Audio, Mount Gilead, NC with Engineer Greg Luck.
On FLY, musicians include: Donna Hughes (Lead Vocals & Piano), Jenee Fleenor (Violin & Harmony Vocals), John Catchings (Cello), Mark Fain (Bass Violin), Andy Kearns (Auctioneer on "Gone"), and Melody Williamson (Harmony Vocals on "All You Need Is A Dream"). The album was mastered by Scott Vestal at Digital Underground Studios, Greenbrier, TN and Recorded at Hilltop Studios, Nashville, TN with Engineers Steve Chandler and John Nicholson.
"The Red Oak Tree" song appears on both albums providing listeners with both an acoustic and a piano version of the haunting tune. The music video will premiere at the release party on August 23rd. The three day video shoot was filmed last month by Videographer, Anthony Ladd of Pikeville, TN. Over 100 of Donna's friends and family appear in the video shot at the Asheboro City Cemetery. Other locations include the home of Chad & Barbara Hall (otherwise known as the "John Hughes" home), Loraye Hughes' home (Donna's mother), and the Denton Farm Park. More details on the video will be announced following the premiere.

Homemade Smoker From a Heating Oil Tank
By Stanley Goff
SergeyVButorin/iStock/GettyImages
Smoked meat tastes good, and it lasts a long time. That is why people have been doing it for thousands of years. Smoking creates a steady supply of warm – not hot – smoke to penetrate the meat. The smoke dries the meat and has an anti-bacterial effect. Red meat and oily fishes lead the list of smoked meats. For the big smoking jobs, like a whole pig, you need a large smoker. DIY smoker-builders frequently choose the standard 275-gallon fuel oil tank to make these whole-animal smokers. You need to know how to weld.
Cut a 4-foot by 2-foot rectangle out of a flat side on the oil tank. The tank is five feet wide, with two rounded sides and two flat sides. Grind the sharp edges off the cut-out. The cut-out will be your smoker door. Place the flat piece inside the tank, then build a hardwood fire inside the tank. Let the fire burn for a couple of hours, keeping it very hot. This burns off oil residues. When you finish you can scrub the smoker with detergent and scouring pads.
Weld a bead along the sides and bottom of the door opening to ensure that the door cannot swing all the way into the smoker. Reposition the flat piece over the hole and weld two steel hinges across one four-foot cut. This is now the top of the door, and above that is a rounded side that will be the top of your smoker.
Cut a six-inches by six-inches vent hole in the top, near the side. Weld a bead around three sides of the hole. Weld one hinge on this piece to make a ventilation door and weld the hinge to the un-beaded edge of the vent hole.
Weld the 60" x 27" steel mesh (cooking rack) into the tank, flush with the bottom of the door opening. Weld the 60" x 20" steel mesh into the tank directly above the first rack and 12 inches higher.
Weld one angle iron rectangle together – 25" x 61". Weld a second rectangle with the angle iron, this one 30" x 66". Join the corners of the large and small rectangles with the four 3-foot lengths of angle iron. The 30" x 66" rectangle sits on the ground, and the 25" x 61" rectangle holds the tank. Position the tank on the stand. The tank, 27" x 60", will rest on the long bars. Weld the tank at the line where it rests on the long bars. This completes your smoking chamber.
The Firebox
Cut the steel 55-gallon drum in half, making two large cans. Cut the cap off one of the cans, leaving a steel cylinder and a round, flat lid. Keep the round, flat lid.
Cut a 12" x 12" door in the round, flat lid. Bead three sides of the hole. Weld the flap back on with a hinge, to make a door. Weld this lid-with-a-door assembly onto the open end of the other can. This is your firebox. It's dimensions are 22.5 inches in diameter and approximately 16.75-inches long.
Weld an angle-iron rectangle 17" x 18". Weld another angle-iron rectangle 23" x 24". Join the corners with the four 2-foot angle iron pieces. The 23" x 24" rectangle sits on the ground, and the 17" x 18" rectangle holds the fire box. Position the firebox on the stand. The firebox is 16.75" x 22.5" and will rest on the 17" bars. The round ends of the firebox will correspond with the 18" bars. Weld the tank at the line where it rests on the long bars.
Stand the completed firebox at one end of the completed smoking chamber end-to-end on a perfectly level surface. The firebox will be below the smoking chamber, but overlapping it. Mark the line where the firebox overlaps the chamber and where the chamber overlaps the firebox.
Separate the chamber and firebox. Mark a six-inch circle as close as possible to the center of the overlap area on the firebox. Cut out the hole as marked. Place the firebox end-to-end with the chamber again, aligning it with your overlap marks. Reaching through the door of the firebox, and using the 6" hole as a guide, mark a corresponding hole on the side of the smoking chamber.
Separate the firebox and smoking chamber. Weld the 12" length of 6" pipe to the 6" holes in the chamber and box.
Weld two eight-foot angle irons along either side, welding every intersection. Weld these tie-ins at the level of the top of the firebox stand and along the bottom. These horizontal tie-ins integrate the stands for the box and the chamber.

Warnin' the Moolahs
Great moment with Bush at the Dais in Mainz, talking about Iran. "We will work with them to convince the mullahs that they need to give up their nuclear ambitions," the President said, pronouncing "mullahs" as an elongated moo-lahs, and of course, "nuclear" as nucular. These Bushisms fill the left half of the political spectrum with contempt. "What an ignoramus. What an embarrassment. What a rube. Turn it off. I hate him!" But if you have ears to hear, the message is perfect: Bush is not talking to his prissy western opposition (even when visiting a country completely unified in prissy opposition). As with the State of the Union speech, his audience is the oppressed peoples of the world, and the message is constancy.
The left half of the political spectrum makes it a point of pride to pronounce the names of other peoples and places as the natives do. If you hear someone say "El Salvador" with the stress on "dor" instead of "Sal," you know he is a Democrat. A Republican looks askance and thinks: "Aren't you American? That's how they pronounce it in El Salvador. That's not how we pronounce it here." Bush goes even further. He talks Texas, and knows that everyone who talks American will approve.
To give up the way you talk is to assume a submissive posture. It is bending to the foreigner's claim of right. Bush doesn't bend, which is exactly what the oppressed peoples of the world love about him. He says he wants to help them to free themselves, and they believe him, because his constancy is constantly on display. "He's a unilateralist cowboy" shriek the Euro-Democrats. "He's coming" think the huddled masses.
Realclimate is a group blog compiled by Gavin Schmidt, Michael Mann, and other adherents to the "IPCC consensus" (their term) that the up-tick in global temperature since 1970 is human caused and can be projected forward to catastrophic warming over the next century. There is indeed solid theory and evidence that some global-warming is caused by human activity, especially greenhouse gas emissions. There is just as much evidence that some global warming has been caused by the abnormally high level of solar activity since the 1940's.
Any competent climate prediction (whatever its range of uncertainty) must account both of these likely sources of warming (along with other evidenced sources of warming or cooling). But the folks over at realclimate refuse. As far as they are concerned, solar-magnetic warming is not evidence to be accounted, but an enemy to be dismissed, however disingenuously. Check out this December 6th post on solar-magnetic warming, the only post on the site that addresses this warming theory.
[Some background for those who are not familiar: the theory is that Galactic Cosmic Rays induce cloud formation, either by ionizing the atmosphere (creating nuclei for condensation) or by affecting the atmosphere's electrical circuit. Strong solar winds decrease the amount of GCR reaching the Earth, decreasing cloud formation, allowing more of the sun's radiance to get through and warm the Earth. Some recent abstracts here.]
In the post, Rasmus Benestad claims that, because there has not been a downward trend in GCR over the period when warming has occurred (since the 60's) GCR cannot be the cause of the warming. But this attempt to dismiss the GCR-cloud theory is absurd on its face. Solar activity has been well above historical norms since the 40's! It doesn't matter what the trend is. The solar-wind is up. According to the theory, that blows away the clouds and creates warming. The wind doesn't have to KEEP going up. It is the LEVEL that matters, not the trend. Holy cow. Benestad is looking at the wrong derivative (one instead of zero).
The issue is important because, when Gavin Schmidt and the other members of "the IPCC consensus" leave solar magnetic warming out of their models, whatever warming is actually due to this effect gets misattributed to greenhouse gases. These exaggerated greenhouse warming effects then get projected forward into the alarmist projections of catastrophic human-induced warming that appear in the newspapers regularly (three last month). A couple of weeks ago I posted a critique of realclimate/IPCC/NASA climatologist Gavin Schmidt's lame excuses for not including solar-magnetic effects in his IPCC/NASA climate models. (My earlier post covered some of the same points as this one. I am just carrying them a little further forward here.)
When Gavin Schmidt and his cohorts leave solar-magnetic warming out of their models, they are employing the classic advocacy statistics ruse of the omitted variable. An example from a different field is the bogus income studies that compare the average hourly earnings of men and women by educational background but omit measures of career dedication (years on the job and/or hours worked per week). Without these mommy track variables, it looks as if women earn substantially less than men who have the same background. When years of work and average workweek are factored in, it turns out that women who devote themselves as much to career as men actually earn substantially more than men do, just as one would expect under a legal regime where companies can be sued if they fail to advance large numbers of women. Omitting the mommy-track variables makes it looks as if women are being cheated, when it is actually men who are being cheated. (See Warren Farrell's new book Why Men Earn More.)
This is what the "IPCC consensus" is up to. Gavin Schmidt and the other consensoids are doing advocacy statistics, not science. Schmidt can still look like a scientist--he can run sophisticated GCM's with lots of real science in them--but so long as he is making excuses for omitting solar-magnetic warming from his assessments, it is all cover for propaganda, just like the feminists who leave mommy track variables out of their income studies.
Feminists have a motivation (sexual bigotry) and so do the global warming alarmists. The founding stone of the environmental ideology/religion is the presumption that human activity is damaging to the environment and should be curtailed. Environmentalists see man as displacing nature, and in this contest, they side with nature. As the self-appointed representatives of a natural world that cannot speak for itself, they see all human impacts on the natural world as by definition bad, and the interdiction of human impacts as necessarily good, regardless of whether the pretext for curtailing human activity is honest or dishonest. (Michael Crichton has a complimentary take on environmentalist religion. His 2003 Commonwealth Club speech here.)
A living caricature of environmental religionism is Stanford University's global-warming superstar, Stephen Schneider. In the sixties and early seventies, when global temperatures seemed to be falling, Schneider claimed that fossil fuel burning was causing global cooling and needed to be curtailed. When temperatures started rising, he switched to claiming that that fossil fuel burning is causing global warming, and needs to be curtailed. If sunspot activity falls off and cooling returns, he will presumably again claim that human activity is causing cooling, and needs to be curtailed. He starts with his preferred conclusion (human impact bad), then picks and chooses from the available reason and evidence to fashion the best case he can for this conclusion, the same behavior that Schmidt and Benestad exhibit when they make up excuses to omit solar-magnetic warming effects.
More generally, religious environmentalism must find a way to see all sources of natural variation as relatively inconsequential. If natural variation is large compared to human impacts, then we cannot say whether a particular human impact is good or bad until we know which direction natural variation is headed. Thus a staple of the IPCC consensus is that global temperatures were stable for a thousand years until the modern release of greenhouse gases by fossil fuel burning (fig. 1). The central figure behind this part of the IPCC consensus is another contributor to realclimate, the University of Virginia's Dr. Michael Mann. His claim that the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age were local rather than global phenomena lies in shreds, but the consensus marches on.
It is interesting to think through how a religious consensoid will try to use or dismiss a particular piece of reason or evidence. A very revealing example is the theory, recently put forward by William Ruddiman, that human release of greenhouse gases in pre-historic and pre-industrial times (by such activities as deforestation) may have already staved off the next ice-age. On the one hand, this theory is a stab in the heart to the religious conviction that human impact must be harmful. It also raises the specter of natural temperature change. On the other hand, If greenhouse gases have already staved off the next ice age, and we are producing these gases at an exponentially increasing rate, then one could argue that the only thing still to worry about is warming. The cooling specter has been vanquished, right? Human impacts have been proven to be more powerful than natural variation, right? And so what if pre-historic man had a beneficial impact. It isn't pre-historic man whose activities the consensoids want to curtail, but modern industrial man.
Gavin Schmidt has a realclimate post up that charges contrarians with inconsistency for "lining up to support" Ruddiman's theory of pre-modern anthropogenic greenhouse warming while downplaying modern greenhouse warming. "Those who argue that the current increase in greenhouse gases has no significant climate effect, now appear to believe that the much smaller changes in the pre-industrial prevented an ice age," writes Schmidt. He even gets in a funny: "This is like someone who believes the earth is flat buying a round-the-world ticket for their vacation."
Contrarians, of course, see no inconsistency. They were never trying to downplay greenhouse gas warming, only stop the consensoids from overplaying it, through such tricks as attributing solar-magnetic warming to greenhouse gases. Indeed, once one takes solar-magnetic effects into account, it is not at all implausible that a small amount of anthropogenic warming could have staved off an ice age. The little ice age and our emergence from it track closely the level of solar activity. Ruddiman's theory only requires that greenhouse gases provided enough of a temperature boost to keep the Little Ice Age from becoming self-reinforcing through albedo feedback effects (where spreading glaciation reflects away sunlight, causing glaciation to spread). The main driver of global temperature HAS to be the solar weather (if we accept that the Little Ice Age was indeed a global phenomenon). Anthropogenic greenhouse warming might have mitigated natural cooling a bit, but major cooling still occurred, and the subsequent warming, all the way till today, correlates well with solar activity.
In sum, the only reason the religionists feel confident that Ruddiman's study supports their alarmist view of human activity is because they have already covered their eyes about natural variation. If Schmidt et al would recognize solar-magnetic warming effects, they would see that Ruddiman's theory is perfectly consistent with these effects being a more powerful driver of global temperature variation than anthropogenic warming is. What is curious is how Schmidt and Mann can "line up to support" the theory that the next ice age has been averted when according to the IPCC consensus, natural temperature variation does not exist. If they don't recognize solar-magnetic warming, just where do they think the Little Ice Age came from? Talk about flat Earthers buying a round trip ticket!
If the solar weather turns cold again, as those who study patterns of solar activity project, we may want as much offset as we can get. This isn't to say that a thicker jacket of greenhouse gases is desirable. It is saying that we don't know. It could save us from catastrophe. It could cause catastrophe. If our goal is to avoid catastrophe--if we want to be cautious--we have no good reason at this point to favor either a lighter or a warmer jacket, making it crazy to impose severe restrictions on human activity in order to favor the lighter jacket. The religionists like to pretend that the cautious thing to do is curtail human activity, but that is just not so, as Ruddiman's theory indicates. Only when we know where natural variation is headed can we say whether a particular human impact is good or bad.
The beat goes on. Gavin Schmidt's NASA boss, James Hansen, was quoted by Red Nova News this week saying:
There has been a strong warming trend over the past 30 years, a trend that has been shown to be due primarily to increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Pure disinformation. The relative magnitudes of solar-magnetic and greenhouse gas warming effects are not yet known, but the prima facie evidence suggests that solar effects do the heavy lifting.
The religionists simply refuse to take anything into account that cannot be made to serve their story that human activity needs to be curtailed, and they have the power to get away with it. They control most of the hiring and the firing and the research budgets in climatology. This political power needs to be broken. There is no room for propaganda in science.
Realclimate refused to publish my criticisms in its comment section. I invite Gavin et al to comment here.
Don't just fire Ward Churchill; terminate tenure entirely
Several blogging professors are against firing Ward Churchill for championing the 9/11 attacks and slandering the victims as "little Eichmanns." Dead wrong. Of course he should be fired. What our tenured professors do not want to come to grips with is that tenure itself is a moral crime.
"Academic freedom" as a grounds to get paid for behavior that an employer does not think is worth paying for is a violation of principles of liberty. Tenure was created in European universities that were under the power of kings. In that circumstance, it served an important function by breaking up the king's unaccountable monopoly of power. In a liberal society, tenure CREATES unaccountable power.
Tenure should be illegal at public universities because it directly contradicts the fundamental principle of republican government: that the people are sovereign and must be able to "vote the bums out." No one in the public sphere can properly be beyond the reach of accountability to the people. We decided to make judges an exception to this principle and have been rewarded with the judicial overthrowing of our constitutional system of limited enumerated federal powers. Extending this unaccountability to a huge class of lifelong sinecures is grossly untenable.
In the private sphere, tenure should be scorned as morally perverse, and there is even some grounds here to make it illegal under the concept of anti-trust. Tenure just is an extreme form of trade unionism, where those with seniority cannot be fired, and trade unionism should be illegal under, as every other form of collusion by sellers is illegal under our laws.
Eugene Volokh is even talking about a first amendment right not to be fired for expressing views that his employers at the University of Colorado detest. How so? This is not a speech restriction that the state is imposing on the public. It is essentially a policy choice by an administration whose job is to make policy choices. There are civil service laws that limit these powers but, like tenure, they violate the fundamental republican principle that the people are supposed to be able to throw the bums out.
Neither am I impressed by arguments that if leftists are fired for their views, then conservatives, who are far rarer on campus, will be more likely to be fired for their views. Firing is a university decision, not a department decision. As it stands now, university's have almost no power to control departments. Once the leftists get a majority in any department, they do what leftists do and refuse to hire anyone who is not a leftist. There is at present NO MECHANISM for EVER breaking these monopolies. If the entire country becomes conservative, the leftists can still keep academia in the hands of the few remaining leftists.
The correct answer to the threat of leftists firing conservatives is for the people to take control of their universities through the electoral process and get administrators in place who will hire and fire so as to bring faculties into line with the desires of the electorate.

How Indigenous Leadership Is Protecting Communities From Climate Disasters
Written by Jocelyn Stacey
A wildfire burns on a logging road in central British Columbia in August 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck
"The fires were never a threat to us. It was the state that was the threat."
In two short sentences Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chair of the Tsilhqot'in National Government, conveyed to a House of Commons committee a central insight of disaster studies. The environment does not create disasters — people do.
In 2017, British Columbia experienced the first of two successive years of record-breaking wildfires. On July 7, following 130 lightning strikes, fires (amplified by climate change) tore through the B.C. interior, consumed 760,000 hectares of Tsilhqot'in territory and engulfed three of six Tsilhqot'in communities.
The provincial wildfire response that followed revealed how people — through policies, practices and laws — leave some communities more vulnerable to disasters. It was a striking example of law's role in disaster, which I mapped in relation to the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire. After the 2017 wildfires, I worked with the Tsilhqot'in Nation to document its communities' experiences with wildfire.
Unequal vulnerability
Decades of research has documented that social factors such as race, gender, ability and poverty contribute to the harms suffered during disasters. Laws and policies that continually marginalize people and communities during ordinary times make these same people vulnerable to disaster.
Wildfire map for the Tsilhqot'in territory during the summer of 2017. Tsilhqot'in National Government, Author provided
This theory was tested the summer of 2017 when fires raged through Tsilhqot'in territory. The wildfires revealed the inadequacy of existing laws and the ongoing legacy of colonial policies as key culprits in the vulnerability of the Tsilhqot'in during the wildfire response. Confusion and conflict over legal jurisdiction were central and enduring themes of the wildfire response.
Jurisdiction is fundamental to self-determining Indigenous peoples. It is also fundamental to understanding how multiple levels of government and agencies involved in emergency management work together to keep people safe during a crisis. Jurisdiction answers the question: Who gets to decide?
The Tsilhqot'in experience
Who gets to decide when a First Nations community evacuates during an emergency? Tsilhqot'in leadership knew the answer to this vital question. Tsilhqot'in leadership gets to decide, not British Columbia.
And yet, in its recent report on the 2017 wildfires, the Tsilhqot'in Nation documents how federal and provincial officials encountered fundamental questions of jurisdiction for the first time. Lawful emergency decisions in Tsilhqot'in communities were disputed or misinterpreted.

One community, Tl'etinqox, chose not to evacuate despite a provincial evacuation order that covered the surrounding area. After experiencing previous wildfires and culturally inappropriate evacuations led by the province, Tl'etinqox leadership ensured plans were in place to effectively lead its own emergency response.
Under the Constitution, a provincial evacuation order does not apply to First Nations reserves. The community's lawful decision led to a dramatic stand-off with the RCMP, which threatened to remove the community's children.
In Yunesit'in, the RCMP misinterpreted the community's evacuation order. Instead of collaborating with Yunesit'in leaders and staff on a soft evacuation that encouraged people to leave, as required, the RCMP unilaterally enforced an immediate evacuation.
As Tsilhqot'in leaders and citizens worked to contest and clarify ill-informed decisions by emergency responders — such as the enforcement of roadblocks that held up vital supplies to Tsilhqot'in communities — the wildfires burned and communities were left vulnerable.
Legal jurisdiction is intertwined and overlapping
Confusion and conflict over Indigenous jurisdiction are not limited to emergency response.
Indigenous communities in Canada lie at the intersection of multiple legal systems. Federal and provincial laws intersect with each other as well as with Indigenous laws, governance systems and traditions of the community.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission recognized the need to reconcile Indigenous and non-Indigenous legal systems through renewed nation-to-nation relationships in its 94 Calls to Action. Like most of those 94 calls to action, this is still a work-in-progress.
The Tsilhqot'in Nation has played a central role in this project with its history-making declaration in 2014 of Aboriginal title, which recognized the Tsilhqot'in as lawful owners of the land under Canadian law, the first of its kind in Canada.
This work of unravelling the respective roles of the Tsilhqot'in Nation, B.C. and Canada in governing the land, water, wildlife and resources in Tsilhqot'in territory is ongoing. But the 2017 fires revealed that there is much, much more work to be done.
Nearly five years after the Tsilhqot'in Nation's landmark Supreme Court of Canada judgment, the Nation has laid out a detailed path for partnership with B.C. and Canada to ensure that Indigenous jurisdiction is recognized and supported in emergency management.
This partnership would entail government-to-government protocols to ensure recognition of Tsilhqot'in emergency measures and to enable coordination across Tsilhqot'in and non-Tsilhqot'in officials. It would include financial agreements to resolve jurisdictional disputes between the federal and provincial governments over who will reimburse First Nations communities for fire-fighting expenses and other emergency measures. It would ensure Indigenous peoples with recognized legal rights and title have a prominent role in mapping out the rehabilitation work on the land to ensure land, wildlife and communities are protected moving forward.
The governments of the Tsilhqot'in Nation, British Columbia and Canada signed a tripartite agreement on emergency management in April 2018, the first of its kind in Canada. Tsilhqot'in National Government, Author provided
Canadian constitutional law and Aboriginal law are not likely what comes to mind when identifying the cause of a wildfire disaster. However, they are one of the many ways in which people — not the environment — cause disaster. Reconciling multiple legal orders across a shared landscape is difficult and delicate work, and it is necessary to prevent future disaster.

Comparative case studies and analyses of the influence of domestic politics on countries' climate change policies and Kyoto ratification decisions. Climate change represents a "tragedy of the commons" on a global scale, requiring the cooperation of nations that do not necessarily put the Earth's well-being above their own national interests.

Q: Bluetooth LE: как ждать, когда включится устройство Имеется устройство, которое может включаться, запрашивать соединение и передавать данные. Работает с Bluetooth LE.
Что надо сделать в программе, чтобы она ждала этого включения и устанавливала соединение?
Вот варианты, которые мне пришли в голову, но я не знаю, какой правильный:

*

*Запускать каждые 3-5 секунд сканер, чтобы проверял, нет ли сигнала от нужного устройства. Но это, как мне кажется, как-то не согласуется с концепцией LE.

*Запустить сканер и не останавливать, пока не появится устройство. Но во всех примерах, которые мне попадались, сканер запускают на несколько секунд и останавливают. И тоже вроде не согласуется с концепцией.

*Какой-то системный сервис шлет сообщение, если включается устройство. Только откуда он тогда знает, какое именно устройство интересует приложение? И как его подключить?

*Создать свой сервис, который будет каким-то образом отслеживать появление сигнала и слать сообщения. Но как такой сервис реализовать?

Не нашла нормального описания. Пример на Develop посмотрела, но все равно не поняла. Пожалуйста помогите, никак не могу разобраться.
Может кто-то подскажет, где прочитать (лучше на русском)?

A COVID-19: Rwanda In Free Testing, Robot Caregivers
In some places in the world right now, getting tested for COVID-19 remains difficult or nearly impossible. In Rwanda, you might just get tested randomly as you're going down the street.
"So whenever someone is driving a vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle or even walking, everyone is asked if you wish to get tested," says Sabin Nsanzimana, director general of the Rwanda Biomedical Center, which is the arm of the ministry of health that's in charge of tackling COVID-19.
Nsanzimana says the testing is voluntary, although some others say refusal is frowned upon.
The sample collection — from a swab up the nose — and filling out the contact information paperwork takes about five minutes.
"All these samples are sent that day to the lab," Nsanzimana says. "We have a big lab here in Kigali. We have also six other labs in the other provinces."
Despite being classified by the World Bank as a low-income country, and despite its limited resources, Rwanda has vowed to identify every coronavirus case. Anyone who tests positive is immediately quarantined at a dedicated COVID-19 clinic. Any contacts of that case who are deemed at high risk are also quarantined, either at a clinic or at home, until they can be tested.
Nsanzimana says health workers call or visit every potential contact of someone who tests positive.
"We really believe that doing so is important to make sure we detect and trace where the virus could be," he says.
Comprehensive contact tracing is a task that has overwhelmed countries with far more resources than Rwanda. Rwanda's per capita income is roughly $2,000 per year. Yet all testing and treatment for the virus is provided for free.
It costs the government between $50 and $100 to run a single coronavirus test, Nsanzimana says. In order to test thousands a day, Rwanda has started using a process called "pool testing." Material from 20-25 nasal swabs are all put into one vial and run through the machine. This allows them to test far more samples at once. If they get a positive result, then all the swabs that went into that initial vial are tested individually to pinpoint the person who's infected.
Nsanzimana says Rwanda's experience dealing with other infectious disease outbreaks is helping it now during the pandemic.
The country is using systems and equipment it already had in place to address HIV.
"The main machines we are using for COVID testing are the HIV machines that were (already) there," he says. "We are using the same structure, same people, same infrastructure and laboratory diagnostics, but applying it to COVID testing."
Since recording its first case in mid-March, the country of 12 million has recorded just over 1,200 cases. Ohio has a similar size population and has recently been reporting roughly 1,200 cases a day.
"Rwanda did a few things that are quite smart," says Sema Sgaier, the head of the Surgo Foundation, which has just launched a new data tool to analyze trends around COVID-19 across Africa. "One is they responded really early. They put some of the most stringent lockdowns in place compared to every other African country. In fact, we've been monitoring physical distancing data across the continent and Rwanda fares, I think, second; they've physical distanced the second most across Africa" — a conclusion based on mobile phone movement data. South Africa is No. 1.
Rwanda mobilized community health care workers and police and college students to work as contact tracers. It set up national and regional command posts to track cases. It's even using human-size robots in the COVID-19 clinics to take patients' temperatures and deliver supplies.
Tolbert Nyenswah, who ran the Liberian ministry of health's response to Ebola in 2014, gives Rwanda high marks for how it has been handling COVID-19, even if at times it's heavy-handed.
"Rwanda, from all indications, is a success story for Africa," Nyenswah says. The strong leadership from President Paul Kagame, which Nyenswah says can even be authoritarian, has been effective during this crisis. Ka game demands accountability from his health ministry.
Whether the people trust or fear the government, Rwandans listen to their government and have been following the orders regarding masks, washing hands and staying home.
Nyenswah worries that the worst is yet to come in Africa with this pandemic.
"No country is out of the woods yet," he says. However, he adds that Rwanda is an example to other low-income countries that even with limited resources, this virus can be contained. "So what needs to be done is to follow the (prevention and containment) measures. Political leadership is very, very crucial. Rwanda should continue what it is doing now. And other countries should emulate Rwanda."

A man in Alaska found an Irishman's message in a bottle in 1964. Fifty-four years later, his granddaughter traveled to Ireland to solve the mystery of who sent it and what became of them. Many surprises, including a celebrity connection, were in store.
It's a story straight out of the movies. In 1964, Michael Perensovich, a wildlife biologist on a moose counting mission to the Yakutat region of Alaska, discovered a message in a bottle washed up on the shore.
"Finder please write John J. Fricker, 215 Sarsfield Road, Inchicore, Dublin 8th. Dropped into the Mid-Pacific Ocean April 7th 1963. From M/V Irish Rowan."
One year after finding the bottle, Perensovich wrote to the address but received no reply. Future letters were also met with silence, but the bottle continued to be a prized possession for him.
Perensovich is now 92 and lives in the city of Sitka on Alaska's Baranof Island. One of his grandchildren, Kari Perensovich, recently set out to see if she could solve the mystery.
On a trip to Ireland, she decided to go to the address in Inchicore and also shared her story with the Irish Times in hopes of it reaching someone who knew John J. Fricker.
"Everyone's heard the story a million times so I was like, why hasn't anybody tried this? I'm the first one to follow it up." she told the paper. "It sits on the mantle in his house and he sees it every day. It would mean the world to him if we could find the family."
And she did, over half a century after her grandfather first found the message.
With the help of the Irish Times, she learned that John "Jackie" Fricker died five years ago, but his living relatives were delighted to hear from Perensovich and were able to share the story of his life.
One of 10 children, Fricker trained as a chef in Paris before backpacking with friends across Europe. He then began working as a chef on board Irish Shipping cargo ships which brought him to the Pacific Ocean. A copy of the Irish Ships Signal newsletter from December 1963 confirms there was a cook on board the Irish Rowan cargo ship.
"He was a world class chef and when he wanted to change ships the crew would double his wages to get him to stay," recalls Gerry Fricker, Jackie's younger brother who still lives close to the family home.
Later in life, he owned a small shop in north Dublin and lived in the family home on Sarsfield street.
What's more, he was also a cousin of the revered Irish actress Brenda Fricker, who won an Oscar for her role as Christy Brown's mother in My Left Foot, alongside Daniel Day-Lewis.
Jackie's brother described hearing from Perensovich as "like magic" and said that the surviving siblings were willing to meet with her.
Kari was thrilled, but nothing compares to her grandfather's delight.
"This won't just make my grandpa's day, it will make his life," she said.
It's thought that thousands of bottles containing messages are sent to drift every year, only about three percent are recovered.


The upper stage of the first stage super-heavy launch vehicle, the Falcon Heavy sank during transportation to the Florida coast. About it writes The Verge.
According to the representative of the company, due to weather conditions and storm the first stage are unable to stand on the platform and fell into the water. It is noted that the company has already attempted to save the Central unit, but ultimately refused it because of security reasons.
12 APR 2019 took place the first commercial launch of the Falcon Heavy. The media has put into orbit the Saudi communications satellite Arabsat 6A. Then for the first time managed to land all three stages of the rocket.

The Status of Human Rights Organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa
Uganda, with a population of approximately 17 million, gained political independence from Britain in 1963. The country is presently governed by President Yoweri Museveni, who seized power in January 1986 after a five-year guerrilla war waged against the previous regime of Milton Obote and Tito Okello. A National Resistace Council, made up mainly of Museveni's supporters, dominates the legislative process. Opposition parties are suspended, and the National Resistance Army (NRA) is responsible for maintaining security.
The government continues to fight a war in the North and Northeast regions against insurgents who are opposed to Museveni. This war, however, is not felt in the rest of the country. Allegations of human rights abuse, especially against NRA and rebel soldiers, are rife, with reports of torture and extra-judicial killings common. The government has also been accused of using the Treason Law, under which the courts cannot grant bail for up to six months, as a ploy to sanction administratively-motivated detentions. The Constitutent Assembly, to be elected in March 1994, is expected to hold debates on the current draft constitution, following which a new constitution is scheduled to come into effect. The press enjoys considerable freedom, and a few opposition papers are published. There are independent radio and television stations. Occasionally, however, the government has levelled sedition and other charges against journalists.
On the economic front, the country's fortunes have come a long way during Museveni's tenure. The country is implementing a structural adjustment programme and has received support from the international community, although poverty is still a problem. On the whole, there is a strong feeling of patriotism and support for Museveni among the population.
THE SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS
The Uganda Human Rights Activists (UHRA), the Uganda Law Society and the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers (FIDA-U), are the three oldest organisations concerned with human rights issues. FIDA-U has been very active on womens' rights issues and educational activities, and appears sufficiently organised and experienced to provide training to other groups in the region. Newer groups, such as the Foundation for Human Rights Initiative and the Uganda Gender Resource Centre, are still trying to establish a precise focus for their activities. There appears to be some measure of cooperation among the groups here, although coordination among them is as yet unclear.
Needs of human rights organisations in the country include:
i.	Office equipment: computers, typewriters, photocopiers, fax machines, books and legal materials.
ii.	Staff needs: Most of the staff working with Ugandan human rights groups have had little or no training in human rights and often have only basic knowledge. Training this staff would be an important contribution to improving the focus and sophistication of these groups. Staff training will be needed in the areas of report writing, advocacy skills, use of international standards, charters and procedures, documentation, computer use, lobbying strategies, internal management and administrative skills, and fundraising skills.
Action for Development
(ACFODE)
Action for Development (ACFODE) was formed in 1985 to stimulate awareness in Uganda of the needs and rights of women. ACFODE is committed to providing support to improve the quality of the life of women in Uganda.
ACFODE is a membership organisation of about 500 women. A Programme Committee plans and implements programmes for the organisation. An Executive Committee constitutes the decision- making body of the organisation. It formulates policies and approves programmes proposed by the Programme Committee. An Executive Secretary heads the Secretariat of about 20 staff, which includes two lawyers, two researchers and an Education Officer.
ACFODE lobbies and advocates for women's representation and participation at all levels of decision-making and for the reform of laws adversely affecting women, in addition to working for the introduction of gender issues at all levels. ACFODE also assists women to improve their income-generating activities by offering training and technical assistance, as well as by linking them with donors and providing material support.
ACFODE carries out research on issues affecting women, including women's income-generating projects, causes of schoolgirl drop-outs, and obstacles to the realization of women's rights. Research is also carried out on legal and cultural constraints on the legal rights of women. Other issues of concern to ACFODE include the prevalence of female circumcision, dietary stipulations, ignorance, and inheritance of widows by their families. ACFODE organises seminars and workshops to articulate these issues.
In addition, ACFODE publishes a quarterly journal called Arise, which highlights legal and human rights issues and events affecting women. Education on family life and women's health issues, particularly AIDS, are also addressed by ACFODE.
Foundation for Human Rights Initiative
(FHRI)
The Foundation for Human Rights Initiative (FHRI) was established in 1992 to promote human rights education and research, and to advocate for the reform of laws in Uganda.
FHRI is a membership organisation with an eight-member Board. Membership is presently around 100. The organisation is registered as a non-governmental organisation under the NGO Registration Act of 1991. The group is also incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. The group has a Secretariat of ten staff, including an Executive Director, a Programme Officer, editor-publications, a social worker and a research assistant. The administrative staff includes two secretaries, driver, cook and a cleaner/guard.
FHRI has eight project activities:
-Paralegal Training: Persons are trained to provide legal advice to the public. Two major workshops have been held so far, the latest in October 1993;
-	Publications:Includes a journal published twice a year;
-	Citizens Advice Bureau: Receives complaints and provides legal advice. Where litigation is involved, the case is referred to the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers or the Legal Aid Project;
-	Penal Reform Project: Set up to deal with prisoners' rights issues and research prison conditions; and
-	Constitution Project: Under this project, FHRI plans to do a critique of the fundamental rights provisions of the Constitution, organise a conference for the constitution-drafting Commission, and monitor debate at the Commission.
In addition, FHRI is planning to set up a Lawyers for Human Rights Network to encourage the participation of lawyers in human rights work.
Human Rights and Peace Centre
(HURIPEC)
The Human Rights and Peace Centre (HURIPEC) was established on December 2, 1993 after approval from the Council of Makerere University, Kampala. HURIPEC's objectives include the systematic development and dissemination of academic human rights programmes to institutions of learning and to the public.
The Centre has the status of a Department under the supervision of the Human Rights Committee of the Faculty of Law. This status is intended to make it independent of the Law Faculty. The Chairperson of the Centre's Board is the Dean of the Faculty of Law. Three other department heads in the Faculty of Law are members, and there are representatives from the Women, History and Sociology Departments and the Social Science Centre of the University. Joe Oloka-Onyanga, a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law, is the Coordinator of the Centre. The Centre intends to hire independent staff as soon as it gets established.
HURIPEC has published two editions of a journal, East African Journal of Peace and Human Rights. The Journal will be an outlet for articles, comments, legislation and other human rights materials and resources. It will be published biannually. Research into police practices, the judiciary and other democratic institutions will be undertaken.
HURIPEC is also opening a library and documentation unit to compile, collate and develop materials and literature on human rights and peace. It presently has a project, the Constitutionalism Digest (CD), which is an abstract of all the documentation submitted to the Ugandan Constitutional Commission by academics, politicians, resistance committees, elders, women, etc. The Centre will also produce a human rights bibliography of published and unpublished human rights materials.
The Centre plans to organise internship programmes for students to enable them to work with human rights groups. It will also embark on regular reviews of the human rights curricula at the Law Faculty, with the aim of expanding the teaching of human rights at all levels of education. The Centre intends to organise seminars, conferences and symposia as one of the methods of achieving its goals.
Legal Aid Project
(LAP)
The Legal Aid Project (LAP) was established in 1992 under an agreement between the Norwegian Bar Association and the Uganda Law Society. LAP's objectives are to provide legal advice and assistance to indigent persons and to undertake legal education. LAP currently has branch offices in Jinja, Kabarale District, and East Uganda. It has a central office located in Kampala.
The project has a Board of Trustees headed by the President of the Uganda Law Society (ULS). Its Secretariat is headed by a Director who is assisted by two professional staff and four administrative staff. Its legal status derives from the ULS.
The Project receives complaints from clients and provides court representation. In October 1993 alone, LAP received 23 new cases, 13 involving women. To date 82 cases have been received, with some of the cases involving such issues as long-term detention without trial and unfair dismissal. LAP has also been involved in seminars on continuing legal education, succession and wills, AIDS, and children. LAP has also issued several publications to create awareness, including a booklet, Making a Will, a handbook for resistance committee courts, a newsletter and a handbook entitled Know Your Rights.
Uganda Association of Women Lawyers
(FIDA-U)
The Uganda Association of Women Lawyers (FIDA-U) was first established in Kampala in 1974, but did not become active until 1988. Its objectives include promoting knowledge and awareness of the law, as well as assisting women (especially widows) and children to attain protection under the law.
FIDA-U is a membership organisation open to all women lawyers. At present there are over 100 members. The organs of the association include the General Assembly, the Executive Committee and the Secretariat.
The General Assembly elects the Executive Committee, which in turn supervises the association's programmes. The Executive Committee is made up of seven members--a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Publicity Secretary and two committee members. FIDA-U was registered as an NGO under the NGO Registration Act in 1993. It has a branch office in Mbale. An Administrative Secretary, Deodatha Namusoke, runs the Secretariat on a full-time basis, assisted by two full-time Legal Officers. There is also a Programme Officer, and some volunteers come in to assist.
FIDA-U runs a legal clinic in cooperation with Uganda Finance and Credit Trust. Most of the association's activities are project-based and include a will-writing project, a children's project and a legal education.
The will-writing project operates in Mukono and Mpigi. It educates people on the necessity of writing a will. AIDS is a serious problem in Uganda and people frequently die without leaving a will. In such situations the family of a dead husband often seizes his property without concern for the widow and children. Thus, FIDA-U encourages husbands to write their wills. FIDA-U also provides legal advisory services, mostly to women, regarding inheritance, land, maintenance, and similar matters.
Uganda Gender Resource Centre
The Uganda Gender Resource Centre was established in 1992 to analyse the position of women, especially rural women, in the areas of health, legal rights and cultural rights, and to empower women to participate in all aspects of national life in Uganda.
The Centre is a membership organisation. In addition, there is an Advisory Board and a Board of Directors, which sets policies and supervises the staff. The Centre's staff includes two professional staff, the Executive Director and the Programme Officer, Yeri Wakabi, and support staff. The Centre is housed in a two-room office in Kampala.
Most of the Centre's activities are consultancy-based, which means that it receives requests from women's groups to organise training of groups or communities in gender and social analysis. In 1993, two women's groups in Kabari and Nganga were trained. The Centre also educates women on various aspects of the law, and refers complaints from women to some other groups.
The Centre has also embarked on an education project on voting procedures, and issued a pamphlet for the recent Constituent Assembly elections in Uganda entitled Know Your Voting Rights for the Constituent Assembly. The Centre also carries out paralegal training in conjunction with ACFODE. It is currently working on a study on the needs and directions for rural women .
Uganda Human Rights Activists
(UHRA)
Uganda Human Rights Activists (UHRA) was established in 1985 as a non-governmental organisation to create awareness and promote respect for human rights in Uganda.
UHRA's structure includes a General Assembly of members, a nine-member Board of Directors, and a Secretariat. The head of the Secretariat is the Executive Secretary who works part-time and is assisted by a Deputy Executive Secretary. The group has thirteen staff. UHRA is currently at a new stage in its existence. After a few years of little activity, it is re-establishing itself. An important step in this direction was its move to new offices.
UHRA's methods include education, empowerment and human rights monitoring. It publishes a quarterly journal known as The Activist and also a newsletter. A series of Know Your Rights booklets are also issued by the organisation to create awareness of human rights. UHRA also publishes a quarterly report on human rights violations in Uganda.
UHRA organises seminars, workshops and paralegal training courses. It has also established UHRA branches and human rights clubs in schools and institutions of higher learning. It provides legal advice and services to the people.
Uganda Law Society
(ULS)
The Uganda Law Society (ULS) was set up to protect the welfare of lawyers in Uganda and advise the public and government on the law. The ULS acts as an advocacy group.
ULS has an Executive Committee of ten, headed by the President. All lawyers in Uganda are members. The Society does not have independent offices, and operates from the office of its President and the Legal Aid Project. An Administrator currently runs the office.
The major human rights activities of the Law Society are carried out through the Legal Aid Project (LAP), set up as an independent body by ULS. ULS publishes a journal known as the Uganda Law Society Newsletter. It plans to launch a human rights project soon that will monitor human rights violations.
ULS is currently organising a training programme at the local level on election monitoring. It is also involved in a project known as the Civil Education Project under the National Organisation for Civil Education and Election Monitoring (NOCEM).

During a group discussion yesterday, a colleague of mine relayed an incident of when he was six years old. It seems he grew up in a tough neighborhood and was continuously beaten up every day on his way home from school by a group of five brothers.
One day while running home from school, the brothers started chasing him, immediately sensing danger, he made a dash for the side door of his house. Grabbing the door knob and expecting to reach the sanctuary of home , he found the door locked. Seeing his father inside he began yelling for his dad to open the door.
His father replied,"Sorry, I can't do that son, you have to learn how to handle this problem on your own." Turning around he saw the five brothers coming at him with a vengeance. It was now or never, so picking out the smallest of the brothers, the one he thought he could possibly take down, they immediately began to fight.
The battle became extremely violent and bitter with neither one willing to give up. After a what seemed long battle a truce was reached and the conflict ended. As soon as the wounds healed, they became best of friends and there would be no more fights.
His mother was very unhappy with dad, however, dad and son finally convinced her of the wisdom of the choice and life went on, despite the torn clothing. Because of this incident, the son learned much about life that he could not have been taught any other way.
This happened many years ago, before political correctness. In today's world the father would have probably been sued for child abuse. What a shame.
Now, I'm not one to advocate violence, but as a youth I had been involved in similar circumstances, and even as an adult, although it didn't come to blows, I have had a couple occasions where major conflicts have arisen.
In all cases, when the conflict was solved to the mutual agreement of all concerned , we have become good friends. We are all human beings, a part of the animal kingdom, and like it or not, there is and always will be a pecking order. that is a fact of nature, nothing will ever change that.
As we go through life, in all relationships, boundaries are established. In most cases, these boundaries can be established by peaceful means. However, there will always be times when as a last resort, we must take drastic measures.
This is true, not only on a personal level but a world level as well. We must remember there are some people who don't like us, and even some who would like to do us in, that will never change.
In today's world, often times kids are pampered and every little problem is solved for them by some well meaning adult. Little does this adult realize how much they are harming the child by not letting them solve their own problems.
How is this person going to learn to solve the many problems of adulthood if they are denied the privilege of learning this as a child when the consequences are a lot less? In our zeal to establish a perfect society, we have forgotten the basic principle of life. Each and every person has to be responsible for themselves and be able to take care of themselves.
When we deny them that important learning lesson, we are doing them a great disservice, it actually does them a tremendous amount of harm by not teaching them to be self-reliant.
Design your own photo gifts, my photo or yours.
Working a full time job, saving time for family and friends and trying to maintain a social life makes it extremely hard to save time for a passion like photography. Photography in itself can consume a lot of time and energy, especially if one is engaged in photographing scenics or wildlife photos.
When photographing any sort of nature photography, whether it be landscapes, scenics, or wildlife subjects there are many factors to consider, you can't just schedule an appointment. One must take into account many things such as lightning, the habits of the wildlife you want to photograph and the amount of time to get in position for your prize winning photo.
Juggling all of this with a life can be quite a challenge. Probably one of best ways to get started and be organized is to make a schedule of when you have time to pursue your hobby. Only by setting aside a certain time every week and sticking to it is the only way to not be distracted and lose your focus.
Another excellent way to get quality photos is to always carry a camera with you. You never know when that prize winning shot will spring up in front of you. Many times , with today's technology, a cell phone or point and shoot camera is more than adequate to get you a high resolution photo suitable for whatever you would like to use it for.
Always be thinking of how you can take quality photos in the small amount of time you have. Just by staying focused, opportunities will present themselves whereby one can get good photos will very little expenditure of time and effort.
These are just a few helpful hints to make your new hobby fun, enjoable, and maybe even a little profitable .

This is a problem that has developed over the last several decades and as a result there is no fast fix. Thankfully, because of the internet, and the easy access to information, more and more people are becoming interested in the political future of their nation and realize that something must be done in order to protect our freedom and capitalistic way of life.
This is all well and good and is the way it should be, our government was formed to provide for government by the people, not special interest groups. The quick fix to saving our way of life is to get involved and stay informed. Thankfully the Tea Party is providing a way to counteract some of the disgusting things going on in Washington.
This will only last so long, sooner or later the people involved in rectifying things will be getting older and unable to carry the ball.
Sooner or later the youth will take over. Regretfully, many of them have been misinformed and thereby don't understand the way life and our country works.
They have grown up in an entitlement society, this has been brought on not only by the liberal left trying to convince them that government can provide all their wants and needs, but also by organized labor and private enterprise providing them everything one would want as far as money and benefits, including health care.
The idea that one could reap many benefits by working for someone else isn't all bad. There is nothing wrong with employees sharing in the wealth a company enjoys because the employees have given much in time , effort and creativity, thereby providing much opportunity for the economic growth of the employer.
However because of this, an atmosphere of dependency has been created. Today in many cases it is now easier and more profitable to work for someone else than to start one's own business. With all the taxes and regulations imposed by the government, a hostile environment has been created.
Much of this has been intentional by elected government officials, the more dependent we are on them, the more likely we will elect them back into office, and it is only natural for most people to take the easy way out and seek the path of least resistance.
The problem now is the path of least resistance has now become a very rocky road. People have come to believe they deserve something for nothing, and that all of big business is evil.This needs to change.
The only long term solution is to start educating our children in the proper role of government and business. This has to start at home and in the schools. At this stage of the game it won't be easy. Many educators now believe that socialism is the answer to all our problems and they have forgotten the basic principles of the founding of our country.
We need to have school choice, whereby if a parent didn't like the things his child was being taught, the children could be sent to another school. Create competition among the schools, there is money attached to the backs of each child. If the schools have to compete for these dollars, they will improve.
In the early days of this country, a lot of schooling was provided by religious organizations. There are downfalls to this plan, but it would probably work better than the present system.The schools have gotten too large, when any organization gets too large, it becomes wasteful and corrupt.
Our country was founded on the principle that we keep government out of religion, not religion out of government. Myself, when I was in elementary school, the whole school went to church for an hour on Friday afternoon. We had three choices, Catholic, Baptist and Lutheran, the only three churches in town. This was a good thing, as for many students, this was their only chance to learn moral principles, as some of their parents had none.
I think this can be proven, I contend that most small rural schools provide a much better learning environment and education than their counterparts in the larger cities. When schools are smaller, it creates a more personal environment and the learning can be more hands on, smaller class sizes aren't that important, what is important is discipline and self control.
Only when students no longer feel like a number and realize their opinion does mean something, they begin to realize there is a better way than having someone supply all your wants and needs. There is something to be said for self reliance.

For the first time since the Syrian civil war began, world powers agreed on Dec.18 at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to embrace a plan for a cease-fire and a peace process that holds the distant prospect of ending the conflict.
The UNSC approved a resolution that calls for talks between the Syria's government and opposition groups, as well as a cease-fire in the nation devastated by 5-year-old civil war. The resolution envisions the formation of a unity government and calls for an immediate halt to any attacks on civilian targets. A mechanism to monitor, verify, and report on the truce is to be worked out. The resolution gives Secretary General Ban Ki-moon one month to tell the Council how a cease-fire could work and how it could be monitored. The UN is asked to convene formal talks on a transitional government. The talks between the regime and opposition are targeted for early January.
The document says elections must be held in the next 18 months. It makes no mention of whether incumbent President Assad will be able to run. The only groups excluded from the ceasefire are Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda's branch in Syria. Offensive and defensive actions against such groups (a reference to air strikes by Russia and the US-led coalition) – are to continue.
The two biggest obstacles to a peace deal: the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the classification of armed groups as terrorists were left out of the document's text. Russian and Iranian diplomats said the question of Mr. Assad wasn't discussed because neither of the countries would accept a deal that calls for Mr. Assad's exit, even at the end of a political transition period.
The U.S. and its European allies have maintained that Mr. Assad must leave power, if not at the beginning of the 18-month transitional period spelled out in the road map, then by the end. For the U.S., the resolution continued a softening of the U.S. position on Mr. Assad. President Barack Obama, in a news conference reiterated his view that Mr. Assad had lost any legitimacy and couldn't run the country, but said the views of pro-Assad powers such as Russia and Iran had to be considered.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who visited Russia earlier in the week, had signaled the U.S. would allow Mr. Assad to remain as part of a transitional political process, a turnaround from his earlier insistence that the Syrian ruler couldn't be part of a transition.
Al in all, the resolution broadly lays out a framework similar to the one agreed on in the last round of talks in Vienna in November.
Diplomats acknowledged that enforcing a cease-fire in Syria will be extremely challenging given that the Islamic State extremist group controls vast territory and won't honor a cease-fire. The goal, diplomats say, is for pockets of the cease-fire to hold between the Syrian army, Shiite militia and opposition groups so the focus can shift to fighting Islamic State and moving forward with a political process.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who hosted the U.N. meeting, said the resolution sends «a clear message to all concerned that the time is now to stop the killing in Syria».
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that the Vienna format is the only way to bring all foreign players to the table and ensure a fair settlement in Syria through talks. «Today's unanimous vote in the [UN Security] Council should pave the way for the formation of a broad front against terrorism on the basis of the UN Charter, with the support of all on Earth who are opposed to terrorism, including the army of Syria, the Kurdish militia, and the armed forces of the Syrian patriotic opposition,» Lavrov said. «The air force of the Russian Federation, at the request of the legitimate government of the Syrian Arab Republic, is contributing to the completion of this task». «Only Syrian-led inclusive dialogue can put an end to untold suffering in Syria», the Minister added stressing that Syria should remain a secular, unified, and multi-ethnic country.
The accord was hailed as a major step toward bringing peace to Syria, where a civil war has killed millions and sent thousands of refugees fleeing into other nations. «It's going to be uphill», said U.N. Envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura. «It will be complicated. But it will be possible».
Summing it all up - the resolution does three things, which internationalize efforts to seek a political solution in Syria. It endorses the 17-member ISSG (the International Syria Support Group) as the main body dealing with the Syria peace process; validates the peace plan agreed to by the ISSG in Vienna last month, including a ceasefire between the regime and opposition in six months and talks leading to drafting a new constitution; and gives the United Nations a leading role in working with the regime and opposition on negotiating a ceasefire and drafting a constitution, which officials said is aimed at putting an international stamp on the peace process. The US, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran were brought together to agree on an international document after a series of meetings in Vienna and elsewhere over the past three months – the diplomatic process that many had believed would never get off the ground.
It won't be a bed of roses, but rather a tall order. There remain sharp disagreements to be reconciled between the American and Russian positions, and huge uncertainty about what the plan will mean on the ground. A dizzying array of armed forces have left Syria in ruins, killed 250,000 (some sources say more than 300 000) and driven four million refugees out of the country, threatening to destabilize the nations where they are seeking new homes. A cease-fire in Syria poses its own challenges. It is not expected to apply to all parts of the country — certainly not to the vast areas held by the Islamic State — and the idea of sending United Nations-sanctioned observers to monitor it seems almost unthinkable.
The resolution leaves open the question of whether other rebel groups can be designated as terrorist organizations and excluded from the cease-fire agreement. It embraces an effort led by Jordan to figure out which groups should receive that designation. Mr. Lavrov hinted at the disagreement there, saying it was «inadmissible to divide terrorists between good and bad ones».
There is a long road to go and success depends of the ability to compromise and act together. The UN has laid down a foundation launching the international effort to tackle the problem that many believe to be intractable. This is challenge the world community can meet having joined together.

Preparing Your Business for Calorie Labeling Laws 2022
05 Jan 2022 Preparing Your Business for Calorie Labeling Laws 2022
Posted at 14:24h in Uncategorised	by	Matt Magna
An estimated 40,000 premature deaths could be prevented if obesity was eliminated, according to a study presented at the European Congress of Obesity in Glasgow. With almost a third of UK adults now classified as obese, the health implications present a huge concern for the healthcare system as the numbers just keep getting higher.
Obesity increases the risk of heart and lung disease and metabolic diseases like type II diabetes and certain cancers. It's a huge public health crisis, and one that the government must do everything it can to tackle urgently.
As Food Safety Consultants, it's our responsibility to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in Food Safety Legislation. Here's the lowdown on the action being taken by the government and how it impacts food businesses.
An action plan to tackle obesity has led to new legislation about calorie labelling
As part of the UK government's action plan to tackle obesity is to empower children and adults to live healthier lives. This empowerment comes in the form of information and education, but there will also be increased accountability for restaurateurs and food providers to help people make informed choices about what they are eating.
Public Health Minister, Jo Churchill, said, "Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for people to make healthier food choices for themselves and their families, both in restaurants and at home. That is why we want to make sure everyone has access to accurate information about the food and drink we order.
"These measures form an important building block in our strategy to support and encourage people in achieving and maintaining a healthier weight."
What does the new calorie labelling law mean for your business?
From 6th April 2022, you will be required to list calorie information on all food and drink prepared and sold for immediate consumption. This law applies to all businesses with more than 250 employees that serve food in the following ways:
Restaurants, pubs, bars, and cafes that prepare food to order
Sellers of coffee, juice, smoothies or other beverages
Ice cream or dessert vendors
Bakeries, patisseries or chocolatiers
Cinemas and leisure facilities
Supermarkets that sell prepared food for immediate consumption, like bakery items selected by the customer then packaged later

Which foods are exempt?
Condiments that are to be added by the customer
Food items that are included on a menu for less than 30 consecutive days or fewer than a total of 30 days in a calendar year
Drinks containing more than 1.2% of alcohol by volume
Fresh fruit or vegetables that do not contain more than one ingredient or are not added to any other food
Unprocessed products consisting of a single ingredient
Loaves of bread or baguettes for consumption off the premises
Fish, meat or cheese for consumption off the premises providing they are not added to other food or offered as an ingredient
Which premises are exempt?
Food served on an international aircraft, train or ferry where the destination is outside of the UK
Food provided at a hospital, care home, social care facility, or education institution or by the military or prison service
How must information be displayed?
Included on packaging in a clear type that can be easily seen and read
On the menu next to the price, or in a position that can clearly be seen
On a label identifying the food and within close proximity of the food
As part of the description of each item offered for sale on the website or app
What information must be included?
Energy content in kilocalories (kcal) of a single portion of the food, or if the item is for consumption by multiple people then for the whole item
The portion size to which the above relates
The statement that "adults need around 2,000 kcal a day", unless the menu includes food for children
The Government gives express permission for businesses to provide a menu that excludes calorie information to be handed out at the express request of the customer. This is to protect consumers who may have personal needs to avoid this information when eating out, such as those in recovery from or suffering from eating disorders.
How will the legislation be enforced?
Each food authority is responsible for enforcing the legislation in their areas. Failure to comply will result in an improvement notice served on the proprietor. Failure to comply with this notice may result in a fine or criminal prosecution.
What does your business need to do to prepare?
Accurately recording and representing the calorie content of your food will have implications should you run into supply-chain issues, and require training in serving and portioning food at the point of sale to ensure accuracy in relation to calorie information.
If your business is affected by the new calorie labelling legislation, drafting in the services of a Food Health and Safety Consultant to help you implement procedures and ensure compliance is essential. The legal implications of improperly representing the calorie content of the food your business sells could be serious.

Cloud service Box on Wednesday unveiled Box OneCloud, an offering intended to bring together all your mobile business content into one cloud service.
Box will incorporate more than 30 apps into OneCloud, which will initially be available on iOS devices. The company highlighted four "premier" apps this week - Quickoffice, PDF Expert, PaperPort, and Adobe EchoSign.
With QuickOffice, iPad and iPhone users can quickly edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files on the go. PDF Expert, meanwhile, will allow for drawings, highlights, and notes on files, while PaperPort will provide note-taking and dictation options. For e-signatures, EchoSign lets users open, sign, and send from the iPad.
"If you're an active user of productivity apps on the iPad, you've probably noticed that each app stores its own files. So, if you use five productivity apps, then you have five places where your files are being stored. If you have ten productivity apps, then ... you get the idea," Chris Yeh, Box's vice president of platform, wrote in a blog post.
When users open up a file in Box for iPhone and iPad, they will now see a cloud logo button on the top menu. Clicking that will produce a drop-down menu with a list of compatible apps installed on a device that work with that file. If a compatible app is not installed, another button will provide the option to add one.
"Creating a new file from Box for iPhone and iPad is just as easy as opening one from the '+' menu. You'll see a list of apps on your device you can use to create a new file, or you can add a new app by tapping 'View More Apps,'" Yeh wrote.
The app gallery will note which ones are "premier," which means they are "integrated with Box in a special, secure way: files opened from within Box can be saved back to their original location in Box once edited, helping ensure files stay within the Box environment," Yeh said.
Though OneCloud is not yet available on Android devices, Box last month unveiled an updated Android app that boasted new collaboration features, support for new languages, and 50GB of free storage.
For those who do not yet have the Box app, it's available for free in the App Store.
For more, see PCMag's recent interview with Box CEO Aaron Levie, who talked about battling Microsoft, creating an app ecosystem for business, and more.
