Bronx Islands: A Brief Guide
Bronx Facts, City Island, Neighborhoods, News, Parks
Bronx islands is not the first topic that comes up when thinking about our borough.
Besides the obvious City Island and (gasp) Rikers Island did you know that we have dozens of islands? Some inhabited, some no longer islands, some abandoned completely.
The Bronx even has its own archipelago shared with Westchester known as the Pelham Islands.
This list includes all the islands surrounding our beautiful borough including ones that due to feats of engineering are no longer islands but once were.
In no particular order here we go. Oh, and we purposefully left out a mapped location of these islands cuz what's the fun if you can't look them up on a map and find them yourself, eh?
The Bronx Islands
Located just north of Hunter Island in Pelham Bay Park just south of the Glen Island in Westchester County is Hog Island. Little to no information is available on this tiny island of rocks, and a few shrubs. We've actually been here once before during a canoe trip one summer.
Danny Hat Island
Just north of Orchard Beach is Danny Hat Island with it's own "Danny Bay" and "Courtney Bay"
Two Tree Island
South of Danny Hat Island is Two Tree Island (although Lovie Pignata of Morris Perk thinks we need a recount). You can actually walk there from Orchard Beach via Twin Island (no longer an island) during low-tide. Don't get stuck here during high tide though cuz you'll have to wait to get back to shore unless you want to swim back.
Hunter Island
The wooded expanse of land directly north of Orchard Beach's parking lot is what was once a 215 acre island known as Hunter's Island.
Once the home of the Siwanoy Native Americans, who called it Lap-Haa-Waach King (place of stringing beads) the island was sold to Thomas Pell, the area's namesake.
When Pell purchased it, it was named Pell Island and then eventually became Pelican Island. Then in 1804, John Hunter purchased it for $40,000 (roughly $800,000 in 2018).

Hunter built a grand mansion on the island which sadly fell into disrepair and eventually demolished during the construction of Orchard Beach which connected Hunter and Twin Island to the mainland.
Today the island is a marine zoology and geology sanctuary according to NYC Parks.
Twin Islands
Mishow and Gray Mare are the names of the two large glacial boulders that make up these two former islands that are now attached to the mainland thanks to the creation of Orchard Beach by Robert Moses. The island was also home to a mansion once belonging to James D. Fish, a banker.

The 19 acre Twin Island is also home to one of New York City's last remaining salt marshes.

You've seen the tall antennas across from Orchard Beach but probably didn't know that this is where you're getting your signal from for WCBS and WFAN AM radio stations.
The island is privately owned by Entercom but in the past it had summer cottages that were rented out and accommodated about 40 families.
Access to the island is via a private road from City Island.
Chimney Sweeps Islands

Of all the Bronx Islands, this one's kinda crappy…
According to Curbed:
"Another one gone to the birds. Purportedly named after their broom-like shape, some contest that in fact a chimney-sweep turned millionaire had bought the place at some point. Whatever it was, The Chimney Sweeps(which are made entirely out of bedrock) are owned by the Parks Department and you aren't invited. Nature is only for birds, you know. [Photo via Empire Guides.]"
Smacked between Pelham Bay Park and Co-op City is Goose Island in the middle of the Hutchinson River. Guess what you'll find on this island? Well birds as its a bird sanctuary now but its last known resident was Abigail "Mammy Goose" Tice who moved to City Island at the age of 90.
East Nonations & South Nonations

These two islands only emerge twice a day during low tide spending the rest of the day submerged. Does this make them sometimes Bronx Islands? As for their names? Marie Lorenz writes: "Of all the special islands in NYC, my favorites are East and South Nonations Islands. "Legend has it that Dutch and English colonists were unwilling to fight over these two adjoining reefs… so they became owned by no nation." says the book [The Other Islands of New York A History and Guide].
Kinda sad…
Rat Island
This island with an unfortunate name was purchased back in 2012 in an auction by City Island resident Alex Schibli. Schibli wants to change the name back to Rattle Island but it appears that has happened as of yet.
North Brother Island

Just east of the shores of Port Morris is North Brother Island which looks like the set of a horror movie. Filled with the remains of Riverside Hospital which was built in 1885 the island has quite the tragic history that would make any paranormal movie back story complete.
From the Tuberculosis Pavilion used to quarantine the sick away from the rest of the general population to the site of the General Slocum steamship disaster which killed over 1,000 people and even as the final home of Typhoid Mary aka Mary Mallon the first person in the US identified as a carrier of the disease.
Mallon died on the island in 1938 after 23 years of quarantine and 3 confirmed deaths due to her refusal to cooperate. Some estimates are as high as 50 fatalities attributed to her.
The island now is off limits to the public due to the general conditions of the structures and dangers it poses.
There are plans to possibly allow legal visitation to the island but who know how long that will last.
South Brother Island
Nothing much to see here, not even a structure. North Brother's smaller and lesser known sibling is devoid of any structure or much history for that matter.
Do we really need to talk about City Island? I mean, I think we all know the place quite well but for those who don't, here goes. The largest of the Pelham Islands and archipelago, it has a population of just over 4,300.
And clearly the best known and most visited of all Bronx Islands.
That number swells with visitors during the warmer months as thousands pack the island's restaurants and art galleries that dot City Island Avenue from end to end (much to the chagrin of locals who simply abhor being trapped on their own island thanks to the nightmarish traffic that the throngs of people bring).
Oh and residents born ON the island are known as clamdiggers and those residents unfortunate enough to be born elsewhere are known as musselsuckers.
Rikers Island
This is one of the Bronx Islands that we question why is it ours? We, personally, don't claim Rikers. It's part of Queens Community Board 1 and even has a Queens Zip Code. We'll gladly take it though once the horrendous conditions and atrocious human rights violations stop there when it's closed.
Randall's and Wards Islands
During low tide, Randall's Island connects to The Bronx… It's ours for the taking.
These two aren't Bronx islands but they will be if we have our way. Randall's and Wards Island (now one big 520 acre island after Little Hell Gate Channel was filled in) is technically a part of Manhattan yet politically united as part of City Council District 8 which is split between East Harlem and several South Bronx neighborhoods.
But we strongly feel that we should just annex the island and get it over with. During low tide the island LITERALLY touches the mainland so twice a day you can easily walk over. Luckily we can do that now that the Randall's Island Connector is open in Port Morris so we don't have to get our shoes dirtied.
The Blauzes
Yet another one of the Bronx Islands, The Blauzes
"The Blauzes are two small New York City islands in City Island Harbor which are part of a reef extending 600 yards northwest of the northern tip of Hart Island. They are composed of Manhattan schist bedrock with a slightly bluish tint and are semi-hemispherical in shape.
The Blauzes means "Little Blue Ones" in Belgian French. The name comes from the Belgian Huguenots, who were the first Europeans to settle the area. They are jokingly referred to by local residents as the Blue Breasts because their odd shape resembles that of a voluptuous woman's bosom.
The pair are part of the Pelham Islands."

New WH press secretary points to non-existent 'testing system'
The new White House press secretary believes Trump's helped create "the most expansive and accurate testing system in the world." I wish that were true.
Kayleigh McEnany, national press secretary for the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign, speaks at a "Keep America Great" campaign rally on Jan. 9, 2020 in Toledo, Ohio.Scott W. Grau / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images file
As premature conversations about re-opening the country continue, there's no great mystery as to the kinds of pieces of the puzzle that need to come together. The United States needs vastly more contact tracing. And isolation centers. And expanded treatment options.
And, of course, at the heart of any solution is a vastly expanded system of testing, along with everything that comes with it: expanded availability of supplies, far more testing facilities, an army of qualified lab technicians, etc.
NBC News reported this morning, "Testing for the coronavirus would have to be at least doubled or tripled from its current levels to allow for even a partial reopening of America's economy, public health experts say, but it is unclear how soon such an ambitious goal could be reached amid persistent shortages of testing supplies and a lack of coordination from the Trump administration."
As of this week, there's ample evidence that testing levels in the U.S. are not just failing to rapidly increase, they're actually stalling.
It was against this backdrop that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, in just her second week on the job, declared on Twitter yesterday, "Under President [Donald Trump's] leadership we have quickly developed the most expansive and accurate testing system in the world."
That's certainly one way to look at the current landscape. The other way is to notice that there is no such U.S. testing system. The Washington Post reported overnight, "There is no national testing strategy, but rather a patchwork of programs administered by states with limited federal guidance."
Governors have said one of the most important factors in making those determinations is testing data, but Trump's plan does not contain a national testing strategy. Senior administration officials said that although the federal government will try to facilitate access to tests, states and localities will be responsible for developing and administering their own testing programs.
As strategies go, this one is quite woeful. Indeed, the New York Times had a striking report this week highlighting state-based difficulties with limited access to faulty tests -- a problem compounded by supply shortages.
As eyes turn to the White House for solutions, Trump and his team are unveiling vague guidelines to states with little direction on testing regimens as a prerequisite to re-opening society -- and even less of a plan on how states could or should expand testing access.
To be sure, the new White House guidelines acknowledge the importance of testing as part of a comprehensive solution. While directing governors to act at their own discretion, the administration's "plan" -- I'm using the word loosely -- suggests to states that they can begin to re-open if they see a persistent decline in infections, coupled with effective tracing and the implementation of a reliable testing system.
But the same message to governors is that they should, in effect, figure something out on their own, because the White House doesn't intend to play a direct role.
So when the new White House press secretary points to Trump's "leadership" while declaring that "we" have "quickly developed the most expansive and accurate testing system in the world," it leads to some awkward follow-up questions, such as, "Where is this elusive 'testing system'?" and, "Who exactly is 'we'?"

Currently the documentation0 suggests that the include_package_data and package_data directives should be used to include package data.
I believe the documentation should be updated so that MANIFEST.in is the recommended method for including package data (as it's the method most likely to be helpful for average projects) and the documentation for package_data (and friends) should be updated to compare it with MANIFEST.in (specifically, explaining where it should be used along side/instead of MANIFEST.in).
Alternately (or at very least) it should be made clear in the documentation that data specified with package_data will not be included in an sdist.
I would like to echo this comment.
Specifically, the documentation gives the impression that the package_data argument can be used to add additional files to a source distribution. For example, it says, "package_data: Specify additional patterns to match files and directories that may or may not be matched by MANIFEST.in or found in source control."
But through trial and error, I found that package_data did not result in additional files being included in a source distribution (via the `sdist` command). I needed to use MANIFEST.in to add additional files. The package_data argument wasn't providing anything extra.
I would recommend that the documentation be modified to say that data files must be included in MANIFEST.in (for example) to be included in a source distribution, and that the package_data argument will not help in that regard. I think that small clarification will help much to head off potential user frustration.
"If you don't supply an explicit list of files (or instructions on how to generate one), the sdist command puts a minimal default set into the source distribution: .... * all files that matches the package_data metadata. .... Sometimes this is enough, but usually you will want to specify additional files to distribute. The typical way to do this is to write a manifest template, called MANIFEST.in by default."
Chris: yes, distutils does that in Python 2.7 and 3.2+.
Thanks to Eric Bray in pull request #4 for addressing this issue. I hope these changes help alleviate some of the pain regarding packaging.

You and I both know that trusting God is NOT easy! As much as we want to every day, there is still a part of us that is afraid to let go completely. That's why I am sharing with you these 5 Christian books by female authors that will help you trust God.
Each of the following books helped me when I was worried and couldn't see how God would change my situation. These women have gone through their own hardships and are real testimonies of God's love for us.
This post contains affiliate links. Because I read these books and found them a blessing, all links to the Amazon website in this article are referral links. If you use any of these links to purchase a book, I'll earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps me to work in Ministry full-time and cover the expenses of this blog.
When I bought Unashamed by Christine Caine I was not prepared for the emotions this book would expose. Very straight-forward but loving she talks about shame. At first, I didn't know what she meant, but very soon I understood that it was the type of shame everybody has. Shame about your past mistakes, deepest desires or biggest fears. While the book is an easy read it will make you think deep and encourage you to trust God with your vulnerability.
If you are wondering how God can turn your heartbreak into something good, then Don't Settle for Safe by Sarah Jakes Roberts is for you. This woman has experienced multiple setbacks in her life but managed to turn her pain into power. She became a teenage mom at age 13, divorced with two kids in her early twenties and is now a pastor. Her story is a reminder that God is the author of our lives and that he is faithful.
Lisa Bevere's book Without Rival is super empowering and fits perfectly into our millennial world. In the book, she stresses that each of us has been created for our own unique purpose in this world and that we should embrace our God-given identity. It is full of her love for women, sisterhood, and God.
Have you ever read a book that started off slow but after a while you can't go a day without reading in it? That's what happened to me while reading What Happens When Women Walk in Faith by Lysa Terkeurst . The stories she shares in the book are very personal and relatable. And every time you think there is no way you can trust God more than in that situation, she reveals yet another level of faith. This book is the sole reason why my blog is still up and running.
Like in each of her books, Joyce Meyer shares her incredible wisdom in Unshakeable Trust . She reminds us of the importance of trusting God in every aspect of our lives. While I believe that developing unshakeable trust in God takes much prayer and listening to God's voice, I am convinced that reading this book is a good place to start.
So, my hope for you is that these 5 Christian books by female authors will help you to trust God even when it's really hard.
This was a phenomenal list! Thank you so much! I shared this on several different social media platforms. It is so important we have faith-building books to read! Blessings!
I agree it really is!
Thank you for this information! Will help us alot to find the books to read for this year!! Blessings!
I'm reading Without Rival right now! I love Joyce Meyer and Lysa as well. Great list!!
Without Rival was my favorite book last year! Awesome!
I love Christine Caine! I just bought her new devotional Unshakeable and started it on January 1st. I LOVE it so far! Have you read it?
Me too! She is awesome and so honest! I haven't started that one yet, but hopefully soon. I've been working on a Devotional by Priscilla Shirer for a quite a while and hope to be done soon!
Love this! Shared. I want to read the unshamed book.

Q: Ruby - remove lowercase letters Let say I have this string: a = "Vallås centrum HALMSTAD"
And I would like to remove all lowercase, whitespace and the first uppercase letter so I only have a string with a => "HALMSTAD"
I tried something like this:
a = "Vallås centrum HALMSTAD"
b = a.gsub(/[:lower:]/, "")
puts b

But I get this output: a => "Vaås cntum HALMSTAD"
any ideas on how to to do this?

A: I believe you should match the uppercase words (including consecutive words and possible punctuation within them) and replace the rest with empty string.
Regex for this would
\b([A-Z']+\s*)\b

This would match and capture all UPPERCASE words including consecutive ones.
Rubular link
Sample string considered:

Vallås centrum ISN'T blah Blah HALMSTAD AND BLAh

And this matches:

ISN'T
  HALMSTAD AND

A: It depends on whether you want to "only remove the lowercase characters" (and keep the spaces), or "only keep the uppercase characters" (and lose the spaces). I'd suggest maybe the following is closer to what you're after?
a = "Vallås centrum HALMSTAD"
b = a.gsub(/[^[:upper:]]+/, "")
puts b # => "VHALMSTAD"

A: Try this:
a = "Vallås centrum ISN'T blah Blah HALMSTAD AND "
b = a.gsub(/\b[A-Z]?[^A-Z\s']+\s*\b/, '')
puts b

This should take care of most lower case words but you need to deal with other possible cases where you have punctuation symbols, question marks, exclamation marks, non-ASCII characters, etc...
You can fiddle with this here

In view of  @TimPietzcker's comment of non-ASCII characters, you could replace the A-Z with the POSIX bracket expression [[:upper:]]

UPDATE:
This would be a more complete solution:
Regex to find most lowercase words (This can still be extended for more symbols):
\b(?:[^\s]?[[:lower:]][^\s]?)+\s*\b[?!]?

Test the regex here
Ruby Code:
a = "Vallås centrum ISN'T blah Blah HALMSTAD AND BlaG and bLag's? FINISH "
b = a.gsub(/\b(?:[^\s]?[[:lower:]][^\s]?)+\s*\b[?!]?/, '')
puts b

Fiddle with the code here

A: Try this:
your_string.split.last

Statement on Gov McAuliffe's Announcement to Create an Environmental Justice Advisory Council
posted by New Virginia Majority | 21sc
TUE., OCT 31, 2017
The Virginia Environmental Justice Collaborative Applauds Gov McAuliffe for EO 73
Today, Governor McAuliffe announced through Executive Order 73 the creation of an Environmental Justice Advisory Council. By taking this important action today, the governor is recognizing that many Virginians are harmed disproportionately by environmental impacts in their communities. This council will have the opportunity to identify solutions to these challenges, and we urge the current and future administrations to lead the progress towards a more safe, just environment for all Virginians. From the daily impacts of climate change felt in Hampton Roads, to the pollution endured in communities next to power plants, to communities in southwest Virginia living closest to mountaintop removal coal mining, environmental justice issues are present in all corners of the Commonwealth and elected officials have a responsibility to consider them in their governance.
In 1994, Federal Executive Order 12898 directed federal agencies to identify and address the disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their actions on minority and low-income populations, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. The order also directs each agency to develop a strategy for implementing environmental justice. Since that time, many states have followed suit and today Virginia joins their ranks.
"We applaud Governor McAuliffe's action today and look forward to working with the EJAC to ensure meaningful participation and representation from communities across the commonwealth that will hold our decision makers accountable to eliminating issues of environmental injustice. This is an important step towards all Virginians having access to clean air, water, and energy." said Kendyl Crawford, Conservation Program Manager with the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter.
"It is encouraging that Governor McAuliffe recognizes climate change's disproportionate impacts on communities of color and low-income Virginians. We are excited to find real solutions to help our communities live long, healthy lives, free of the challenges climate change can cause -- and to give voices to those most affected", said Lafeetah Byrum, Climate Justice Organizer of New Virginia Majority.
"It is an outrage that children are still getting poisoned by lead today. Even more so that lead poisoning only gets widespread publicity when thousands of children are poisoned, as occurred in Flint, Michigan, when in actuality, every day, children are getting poisoned by lead exposures. Across government, state leaders need to be working together to address these issues and it is my hope that the Advisory Council will be instrumental in making progress towards the eradication of childhood lead poisoning." Queen Zakia Rafiqa Shabazz
The Virginia Environmental Justice Collaborative was created in 2015 when four organizations (The Southeast CARE Coalition, Appalachian Voices, Federal Policy Office of WE ACT for Environmental Justice, and New Virginia Majority) saw the need for statewide coordination supporting and addressing environmental justice concerns in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Since then, the VEJC has grown to sixteen organizations representing communities from the Appalachian region of Southwest VA, Richmond, Southeast Community of Newport News, Portsmouth, Norfolk, VA Beach, Shenandoah Valley, Lynchburg, Roanoke, New River Valley, Fredericksburg, Southside Virginia, Central Virginia, Northern Virginia and the Eastern Shore.

Its mango season y'all. You wont believe how exciting this time is for almost everyone. It is where kids damage things because the stoning of the mangoes gets out of hand, where tree owners become protective of their mangoes stating that all children should wait till the mangoes are ripe. But what is the fun in that really? I personally have equal excitement when eating both raw and ripe mangoes except that the former is more fun(salt and piripiri anyone?). So as the season slowly climaxes, generous neighbors are giving away mangoes because, well, if they don't, they will rot and nobody wants that.
I have been searching far and wide(A.K.A Google) the meaning of 'from scratch'. because I have always questioned the concept behind it. Based on what I gathered and understood, cooking from scratch means cooking and using items or rather ingredients within your reach, your house or garden(and neighbors?!?). In a way this pie was made from scratch and you don't need a lot of fancy ingredients really. Let me show you how.
Sift flour in a bowl. Add salt and sugar. Mix well. Add margarine and using your hands mix it in the flour until the mixture becomes coarse. Next add the water, a tablespoon at a time, while mixing. Keep adding little water until a firm dough is formed. It should not be very wet and should not stick to your hands so much (you may need more or less water). After you have formed the dough, put it back in the bowl and keep it refrigerated for 15 minutes.
Peel and thinly slice the mangoes. Put in a bowl and set aside. Thinly slice the pear and add in bowl. Add the tea masala, sugar and lemon juice and mix well.
After 15 minutes, remove from the refrigerator and, on a floured surface, cut the dough into two equal parts. Using a floured rolling-pin or a glass bottle, roll the dough out till it is large enough (think chapatti size). Roll the second part of the dough too. Arrange the mango and pear slices on top center of the pie dough. Make sure you leave enough space for folding the dough. Fold the dough on top of the filling.
Bake in an oven until the crust starts to brown a little. This can take an approximation of 15 to 20 minutes depending on the oven you are using. I use an oven toaster(!).
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool and then serve.
Do you prefer raw or ripe mangoes?
Apart from juicing, what do you plan on doing with the excess ripe mangoes?
PS: If you don't fancy tea masala, you can substitute it for anything else like cinnamon.
You take such beautiful photos, Sophie! What is the green fruit pictured with your pie?
Of course – silly me! I've never seen a green mango before, but that makes sense given your recipe. Thanks!

TUNCURRY TRUCK CRASH SEPT 2013
Additional information from news article at http://www.greatlakesadvocate.com.au/story/1739109/elderly-drivers-survival-miraculous/:
AFTER suffering two broken legs and facial injuries in a crash on The Lakes Way just north of Tuncurry on Thursday, a 89-year-old Taree woman is making a slow recovery from her injuries.
Forster Police Inspector John Sullivan said her survival was "miraculous".
The woman's car was a mess of twisted metal after the crash on Thursday morning.
It is believed the car the woman was driving crossed onto the wrong side of the road as she travelled south towards Tuncurry, just north of Chapmans Road about 9.50am.
The car collided nearly head-on with a truck travelling north. Both vehicles ended up off the road, with the truck crashing through some nearby coastal heath. Traffic was diverted around the wrecks throughout the day.
The woman was initially trapped in the car and was freed by Fire and Rescue NSW personnel.
She was taken by road ambulance to Forster, where a Westpac Rescue Helicopter was waiting to take her to John Hunter hospital for treatment to two fractured legs.
Insp Sullivan said the woman would have to pass health and fitness tests to reapply for her licence.
THURSDAY: TRAFFIC is open in both directions after a crash between a car and a prime mover on The Lakes Way 2km north of Tuncurry this morning caused significant delays.
An 89-year-old Taree woman who was driving the car was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition with leg, abdominal and head injuries.
The driver of the prime mover was not injured.
Police Inspector John Sullivan said crime scene analysis and witness statements suggested the woman, travelling south on The Lakes Way, crossed to the wrong side of the road and was hit by the prime mover, which was heading north.
The prime mover went on to crash into the coastal heath on the side of the road and an operation will go ahead later this afternoon to remove it.
Traffic may be disrupted for a short time while this occurs.

When you throw a leg over a road bicycle from Trek Bicycle Store of London, you know you're getting a fast, fun ride from the best brands out there. We've got road bikes from Trek and more, to get you on the race course, in the group ride, or on your next solo adventure. Not sure which road bike is best for you? Let us know and we'll help you choose.
A stiff frame for ultimate power transfer. Wider tires for an unexpected wealth of comfort. A 1x drivetrain to improve aerodynamics and save 400g in component weight. And aerodynamics optimized around all these features! The Strada blends together benefits in a way no other aero road bike can. Do you want speed or comfort? Both! Wider tires are one of the biggest factors in road bike comfort by reducing the shock of cracks, curbs, and cobbles. But aerodynamics are also important on such rides, and wide tires tend to test poorly in the wind tunnel. However, that is to be expected if you test them with frames and parts optimized for narrow tires. The Strada is the first aero road frame optimized for wider tires, so finally you can be fast and comfortable all the time, from the cobbles to the climbs. All day, every day, with one and the same bike. With all aero road bike developments of the past 20 years, the drivetrain was never really tackled. So we did. The BB area - with frame, crank, chainrings, front derailleur, water bottles and rider legs - leaves little room for the air to pass through. A single ring drivetrain eliminates the front derailleur and inner ring. Thus it reduces frontal area and creates space for unobstructed air flow. And with modern cassettes (in particular the 3T Overdrive and Bailout), you still have all the gears you need.


UN Warns of Global Collapse: So How Can We Prevent It?
In a recent report, the UN comes with a stark warning: The global capitalist system is on the verge of collapse. Those are the dire implications of a new scientific paper prepared by a group of Finnish biophysicists. The team from the BIOS Research Unit in Finland was asked to provide research that would feed into the drafting of the UN Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR), which will be released in 2019.
This report comes at an important juncture for humanity, a time when the very foundation of our economic system is questioned. But what is the reason why capitalism has brought us to the brink of global collapse? More importantly, what do the UN suggest as the alternative to capitalism?
One of the main gifts of the environmental movement has been to show us some of the fundamental flaws of capitalism. For example, that true wealth has little to do with profit and more to do with people's overall wellbeing. The greens have also managed to present a new macro-economic vision where sustainability trumps growth, where consumption for real needs and not mindless consumerism guides economic planning, and, most importantly, they have emphasized the need to establish environmental and resource limits on economic activity.
What the greens have overlooked, however, is the very foundation of capitalism and its power–the alluring and sinister profit motive, the structurally inbuilt growth impulse in capitalism, which will always trump all other visions and needs, unless we restructure the macro-economic system itself. And since the green movement has overlooked this issue, it has most certainly been overlooked by mainstream economists as well as political parties. It is for this very reason we are in this dire predicament: on the precipice of a man-made global disaster.
"The most important aspect of capitalism, its objective function, is to maximize profit," says economist Jaroslav Vanek of Cornell University.1 For this reason alone, capitalist firms do not like environmental regulations; they do not like to be told to add environmental costs to the profit equation. They will fight that possibility at every turn of the way. It is for no other reason than this that greenwashing—when companies spend more money or time advertising they are green than actually being green—is so common. This is also why an unregulated capitalist economy and a democratic and sustainable economy are incompatible. And this is why the very foundation of capitalism—the profit motive–will also lead to its downfall.
With this looming global crisis on the horizon, we have two choices: we can, as we do today, make incremental or half-hearted changes through consumer choices and painstakingly slow legislation. The result of these kinds of policies would result in a Titanic blunder; we would certainly hit the looming icebergs ahead and go down with the global ship.
Our only choice now is to make fundamental changes; to facilitate a democratic but revolutionary change in the economy. This new economy's objective would not be to maximize profit but to maximize the welfare of people and the environment through better participation and planning.
We must restructure the entire economy, or else the old economic vision will continue to drive economic concerns. We will continue to look at nature as a free lunch and a sink hole to dump our waste in. But rhetoric aside, what is the main problem with the old economy? It is the size and goal of the capitalist market, its inevitable nature to grow and concentrate wealth and compromise human and environmental concerns. This fundamental issue—that it is inadequate to simply reform the capitalist market—has not been compellingly addressed by neither the left nor the green parties, nor the leftist or the environmental movement at large.
Create an effective global carbon tax to reduce global CO2 emissions—today individual countries have such taxes, but corporations, such as in the EU, are lobbying to stop or reduce them; this must not be allowed.
Move towards zero emission technologies.
Educate and do community development to curb consumerism by promoting better lifestyles and non-material sources of happiness. Studies have shown that once people have a good standard of living, increased consumption decreases people's happiness.
The main reason why there has been little progress in implementing the kind of environmental policies outlined above is not because we do not have solutions, it is simply because there is no global consensus on what the problem is—that capitalism's bottom line, profit-driven economy is fundamentally incompatible with a sustainable economy. Hence, in order to avoid irreparable damage to the ecosystem from global warming, and to avoid political instability and widespread poverty from resource depletion, we need not only more reforms, we need economic systems change. There is simply no other alternative.

Black Panther's all-Black cast crushes racial divide
By SC Student Media March 22, 2018 December 2, 2018
Leave a Comment on Black Panther's all-Black cast crushes racial divide
Kathleen Morris
@kat_morris101
Black Panther has made a big impression, both here in the States and abroad. The numbers are staggering: it's grossing nearly 1.2 billion worldwide, and recently became the most tweeted about movie to date. According to Rotten Tomatoes it has set and broken several records, such as Best-Reviewed Live-Action Superhero Movie, Highest-Grossing Solo Superhero Movie, Best Holiday Weekend Opening of All Time, First Movie to Go Five Weeks at #1 This Decade, and the First Superhero Movie to Go Five Weeks at #1 in 40 years. That's a mouthful, but there are even more records that this movie has smashed to bits.
Even more impactful, however, is what it means for us culturally. Yes, there have been movies written by Black directors before. Yes, there have been Black superheroes on the big screen before (Hancock, Blade, Meteor Man, to name some of the very few). And yes, there have been movies with predominantly Black casts. What director Ryan Coogler's Black Panther does that makes it so different is break away from the stereotypes that are often used when it comes to Black characters. Also, it answers the question: "What would an African nation look like if it had never been colonized? If it'd been allowed to progress on its own, using all the resources it had at its disposable?" The answer is this: That nation would look pretty amazing.
So what aspects of this movie made it the hit it is now? First, one can look at all of the research that was poured into the film, as it made direct connections to real African countries, traditions, and groups. The Wakanda dialect was based on John Kani's (who plays T'Challa's father, T'Chaka) real-life Xhosan dialect, found in the country of Zimbabwe. Ruth E. Carter, the costume designer (and a Springfield native), created over 1,000 costumes, all inspired by nations in Africa. According to Buzzfeed, she used "Afrofuturism, Afropunk fashion, and traditional African tribal garments" as inspiration, researching African history to make believable costumes that could create the culture of Wakanda. And the fierce Dora Milaje, a group comprised of female warriors who protect Wakanda, were inspired by real life too. They were taken from the famous all-female African military corps of Dahomey, West Africa, who would serve as the last line of defense for the king.
Second, one can look at the characters themselves. Far too often Black people have been type-casted in very stringent roles. The men are angry without cause, thuggish and dumb. The women are ghetto, loud, and clueless. If not that, then they're long suffering slaves and/or civil rights activists (and while there's nothing wrong with roles like that, it's been done a thousand times over). But in this movie, every single character played an important role, not once falling into any of the age-old tropes that have been used so often in the past. T'Challa (played by Chadwick Boseman) is the leader of Wakanda, the single most technologically advanced nation in the world. He shows level-headedness, always putting his country first. But he's human enough to make mistakes, and when he does, he admits it. But even more amazing is the way he defers to the women in his life. This includes his mother (played by Angela Bassett), his younger sister Shuri (played by Letitia Wright), his love interest Nakia (played by Lupita N'yongo), and the leader of his all-female army, Okoye (played by Danai Gurira). Instead of taking the backseat in the movie as women (including non-POC women) tend to do in films, they're front and center. They're smart (especially his younger sister, who designs all of the tech for Wakanda, down to the Black panther suit). They're genuinely funny. They have minds of their own (like Nakia, who has her own goals, and doesn't let even T'Challa get in the way of them). T'Challa shows that it's in no way emasculating to ask women for advice, and to actually listen.
Thirdly, one can't discuss Black Panther without looking at the message. Without ruining the plot (although, if you haven't seen it yet, that's a huge issue), Killmonger (played by Michael B. Jordan) comes to Wakanda to take over as king. Why? Because he's seen first-hand what Black people have been through, not just in America, but everywhere. And to him, the idea that a Black nation as advanced as Wakanda has done nothing to help them is inconsolable. With this being his motivation, the movie manages to avoid one of the aforementioned, often used, tropes used for Black characters: unjustified anger. Killmonger's anger is rooted in something very real (although his actions are, to say the least, awful). And throughout the movie, the issue of colonization, and the way it's affected Black people, even until the day, is repeatedly addressed.
This movie has done something that many never truly thought could be done. It took an all-Black cast led by a Black director and allowed them to break the mold that had been set for them. It addressed racial issues without one shot of people picking cotton or staging sit-ins at a diner. More than that, it showed that a movie that lets Black people be people instead of worn-out stereotypes can be successful. And yeah, the special effects were amazing as well. Wakanda forever.

Q: Creating dynamic linq expression tree against nested OData I need to create a dynamic linq expression for a dynamic search against an OData web service. The basic search is working but there are nested tables where it doesn't work.
The format is webservice/Books('id')/Author
I can get this to work
var authors = from p in webservice.Books.Expand("Author")
where p.Title.Equals("Watership Down") && p.Author.FirstName.Equals("Richard")
select p;

I have changed it to the following:
var authors = webservice.Books.Expand("Author").Where(condition);

and I construct condition as follows:
ParameterExpression pe = Expression.Parameter(typeof(webservice.Books), "p");

Expression left = Expression.Property(pe, "Title");
Expression right = Expression.Constant("Watership Down");
Expression predicateBody = Expression.Equal(left, right);

Expression<Func<webservice.Books, bool>> condition = Expression.Lambda
            <Func<webservice.Books, bool>>(predicateBody, new ParameterExpression[] { pe });

Which works.
So if I try
ParameterExpression pe = Expression.Parameter(typeof(webservice.Books), "p");

Expression left = Expression.Property(pe, "Title");
Expression right = Expression.Constant("Watership Down");
Expression e = Expression.Equal(left, right);

left = Expression.Property(pe, "Author.FirstName");
right = Expression.Constant("Richard");
Expression e2 = Expression.Equal(left, right);

Expression predicateBody = Expression.And(e, e2);

Expression<Func<webservice.Books, bool>> condition = Expression.Lambda
            <Func<webservice.Books, bool>>(predicateBody, new ParameterExpression[] { pe });

But it doesn't work. It doesn't recognize Author.FirstName as a property. I think it is because I declare pe as a type Books and so it doesn't see the nested Author but I can't figure out how to declare it so it will see the nested data.
The exact error message is Instance property 'Author.FirstName' is not defined for type 'webServices.Books'
Does anyone know how to do this? Is it even possible? Thanks for any help anyone can offer with this.
What I had to do to solve this error was to change
    left = Expression.Property(pe, "Author.FirstName");
to
    Expression property = Expression.Property(pe, "Author");
    left = Expression.Property(property, "FirstName");
And now it works!
Thanks!

A: In this case
left = Expression.Property(pe, "Author.FirstName");

"Author.FirstName" is a property path, not a property. Property paths typically work for data binding, but they will not work for expression trees - you need to be more explicit. You will need to change it to something like this
var author = Expression.Property(pe, "Author");
left = Expression.Property(author, "FirstName");

Corporate credit cards are gradually working their way into the business payments psyche, moving beyond their traditional role of being pulled out for travel or expenses. They are now going virtual.
There has been a watershed moment with the realisation that corporate credit cards have a central role to play in managing a company's working capital and improving transactional traceability.
It's no surprise that card-based business spend continues to increase year on year, with no signs of stopping. In the US alone, annual commercial card spending is growing across all categories, with a combined annual growth rate (CAGR) approaching 10%. But while commercial cards are here to stay, even in the face of new technology and innovation, there is one innovation that makes perfect sense in this increasingly tap-and-go world.
In most cases, of course, the commercial card is still a physical piece of plastic. But whether it's a P-Card being used by procurement teams to make strategic supplier payments; a central 'lodge' card capturing travel service costs; or a corporate credit card being used for ad-hoc purchases, it's actually the card number that's being used to pay the bill.
This is where virtual cards come in. They work just like plastic commercial credit or debit cards. The difference is that they only exist digitally. With no plastic to worry about, a new virtual card can be created for every single transaction a company makes.
Reduced risk – There's no need to issue all of your staff with plastic commercial credit cards, or share a single card around the office. Simply issue a virtual card on the fly as required.
Greater security – Because a virtual card can be used just once, they significantly reduce the risk of fraud and the admin costs associated with lost or stolen physical cards.
Easy reconciliation – When a virtual card is created, data can be automatically appended to it, such as job number, client code, staff number, product code or phase number. This delivers significant process efficiencies when it comes to payment reconciliation.
Finance managers are naturally nervous about opening lines of credit to the first employee to ask for one. But with virtual cards, they are able to marry security with flexibility. No corporate card issuer would create physical card accounts for single purchase events - it's not only slow but expensive and impractical. However, with virtual cards, it makes perfect sense.
With one click, corporate banking clients haven't just bypassed credit application processes, they've added the convenience of transactional traceability, automated receipts, simpler reconciliations and reduced the opportunities for fraud.
Corporate credit clients are understandably nervous when it comes to introducing new behaviours into their expenses management procedures. Concerns over technical compatibility, employee abuse of privilege, changes to established accounting procedures all loom large. But they don't need to. Some reports put commercial virtual card spend in the US alone during 2017 at $132 billion and the sector is growing worldwide.
With many virtual card programmes hosted in, or compatible with, cloud-based expenses management systems, there should be no disruption to existing processes. And, it could be argued, if simplifying expenses reconciliation and automating receipt and transaction processing is disrupting existing systems, it may be high time those systems were disrupted.


If you are on a guided African safari your chances of encountering problems are minimal. We make it our business to know what's happening on the ground through contact with our local suppliers and guides.
It is sensible to take normal precautions on your African safari, particularly when travelling through urban areas (ie don't walk around at night instead take a taxi).
Make a copy of your passport, travel insurance, visas and travellers' cheques.
These copies should be packed separately from the originals (i.e. keep them in your luggage). It is never a good idea to carry large amounts of cash, and most urban centres (hotels, shops) do accept credit cards (Visa and Mastercard are most common), and traveller's cheques. You might need cash for purchases local markets – keep this in a travel wallet, or a zip pocket.
When travelling independently on your African safari, stay informed in terms of the local news. Ask at your hotel about any unsafe areas, and codes of dress and behaviour. Don't openly carry valuables. If you must carry your passport and money, keep them in a buttoned-down pocket.
Your guide will always do a safety talk with you, whether your game viewing is to be done from a vehicle, or on foot. Wildlife is potentially dangerous, but as long as you adhere to what you guide tells you, there is very little to worry about. At viewpoints, hides and camps, wildlife is more familiar with people and less intimidated by your presence.
Although Africa is known to be home to a number of potentially dangerous species, especially snakes, scorpions, spiders, and insects, very few visitors are adversely affected. If you go on a walk, it is always a good idea to comfortable, enclosed walking shoes, socks, and long trousers – just as a precaution. Lodges and camps generally have insect (especially mosquito) proofing in their rooms.
A good tip for personal hygiene is to buy anti-bacterial shower gel and bring along anti-bacterial wipes. The wipes are really handy to wipe hands as often as you like. Small pocket pack tissues are also handy!
NB: Bring a long a few small packets of baby wipes – they especially help to wipe away the dust during the day and keep you cool.

Singapore unveiled a first of its kind AI governance framework at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting. The world can expect more to follow.
The framework serves to guide the private sector on the ethical usage of AI solutions. It has two core principles. Firstly, individuals and companies who create AI should ensure that it is explainable, transparent and fair. This means informing customers when and how AI was involved in decision-making.
Secondly, all AI solutions should be human-centric. The framework also covers risk management approaches, possible probability and severity matrix, deployment practices, datasets management and more. The 30-page "live document" may receive further additions after Singapore receives more feedback from countries and companies.
By 2025, the AI industry will be worth an estimated US$190 billion. Predictions indicate the sector will continue growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 37%.
Many countries have committed resources and made action plans pertaining to AI use and regulation in 2018. The United States and China, two global AI hubs, have published AI papers and filing patents. The European Union has also formulated an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan. No one wants to lose out in the AI race.
Within ASEAN, 2018 saw the first of many academic symposiums. The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence for ASEAN Development (ASEAN-AI) brings researchers in the region together to discuss AI-related applications and implementations. Other individual member states have outlined their own roadmap for AI adoption. In Malaysia, 34% of corporations intend to adopt AI within two years.
Although developing nations are lagging behind, such initiatives will benefit them by providing an existing regulatory model. Vietnam, for instance, has only acknowledged the need for a national AI development strategy, but has yet to pour in the funds. By the time Vietnam's AI landscape matures, there will be a tried and tested framework for it to implement.
AI has been a great enabler when it comes to huge data set. Proper algorithms churn out data analysis faster than any human could. AI bots are also getting better at modelling human responses. However, it has to be developed within a rigorous and robust regulatory ecosystem, to avoid any unintended consequences.
Singapore considers AI as one of the four frontier technologies crucial for the growth of its digital economy. AI firms and the government have been working closely to design and integrate smart solutions for Singaporeans.
In the ASEAN region, Singapore has taken the lead in AI experimentation. In 2017, Singapore launched AI.SG, a programme to accelerate the nation's AI capabilities. Over the span of five years, the government will invest up to S$150million (US$110million) in the project. In 2018, AI.SG set up an advisory council. Now, it has shared a governance framework with the global community. Every step fits in nicely with the nation's ultimate goal of being a leading digital economy.
The Model AI Governance Framework is not prescriptive, but better described as a living document that evolves with changes in the economy. The framework aptly pinpoints issues around AI that the world is concerned about. The AI.SG advisory council is encouraging companies to adopt the framework and provide feedback on the framework's implementation and limitations.
The framework is an attempt to boost consumer trust and receptiveness towards AI. Better AI understanding amongst the corporate community will also enable Singapore's firms to further embed AI solutions into their business and drive the development of Singapore's AI sector.
AI will continue to gain prominence and transform industries. While it grows, industry players will find this new framework useful in setting them in the right direction.
Efforts to regulate and control the ethical implications of AI will endure. It has to persist, or long-term AI sustainability will be compromised.


After decades of playing on the fringes of programming, i.e., taking the odd (COBOL and RPGII) programming and/or scripting (Wang VS) course, I made the decision to commit to code immersion. I wanted to give myself every advantage because I am truly hoping to make a career switch at this point after decades in IT support.
The first thing I did was to forego my usual practice of distance learning in favor of the brick-and-mortar experience. This was a little scary because I've not attended school since the 80's and I worried that I would be too tired after a day at work to sit through class twice a week.
That fear was quickly dispelled during the first class. The class was fun and fascinating and the time flew. I am loving the the coursework. But more than that, I am re-learning how to learn.
"Back in the day" when I was in college, you parked yourself in the library with a hard-cover book, about 3-4 inches thick, big neon highlighter in your dominant hand. I would highlight what I thought I needed to memorize, write what I highlighted, type what I had written and then read what I typed. It was time-consuming at best, and does not stand up to the test of time. At the rate new technology comes along these days, a new approach was clearly called for.
2. Don't take on technical debt (If you don't understand something, work on it so that you don't get left behind).
I made the decision to follow the direction of the accomplished staff at TTS and I haven't looked back since.
In the short time I've been here, I've been performing better on my job, due to this new-found skill I'm learning of aggressively investigating things that are new to me. It's exhilarating. From the very first class, I knew I made the right decision by enrolling in TTS.
It's one of the best decisions I've ever made, a life-changing experience.


A third accuser has come out in the Bernie Fine scandal. Zach Tomaselli, a 23-year-old, said Fine molested him in a hotel room in Pittsburgh in 2002.
"I was in the hotel room, he would put his hand down my shorts whenever I was sitting there watching TV and he would basically fondle me, four to maybe even five times. It would go in spurts between ten and 15 minutes and it would stop for a couple hours and then he would start that all over again."
But Tomaselli is in trouble with the law himself right now. He has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in Maine, according to WSYR News.
Also, Tomaselli's father, Fred, said his son is lying, and Fine never molested him.


that draw visual attention to the museum buildings themselves as well as the art within. By commissioning public art projects museums can reach populations they may not normally be able to engage, and redefine the relationship they have with communities around them.
Project Goals: We were commissioned by the Albright-Knox museum to create a mural in downtown Buffalo as the inaugural project for their new Public Art Initiative in Erie County.
"Tape Art is one of the ways we are bringing public art to the community and letting people's imaginations loose."
"Tape Art's goal is to "demystify art for the public and remove the air of intimidation that often surrounds gallery exhibitions."
Project Outcome: Since our partner and mural site was the Buffalo Public Library, we focused the imagery on themes of discovery and exploration, transforming the long sloping retaining wall into a subterranean cave system.
At one end of the wall a group of explorers has gathered at the mouth of a cave, ready to dive into the darkness with just one tool, a simple flashlight. Their strange surroundings are revealed only in the circles cast by these lights. Heading up a rope ladder to the exit the explorers leave their flashlights in a heap. They cast their beams on the walls of the cavern in a pattern of abutting circles, forming a rose window on the library's exterior.
Project Reflections: As the newly minted initiative's first major public art project, we represented a great low-risk-high-reward scenario. Our murals are so big that they have the power to blow peoples' minds (and make them hungry for more public art) but temporary enough to maintain the community's goodwill if there are those that are not so excited.
Project Details: The cave full of rain (see above) took three artists 18 hours to draw. And the rose window could be seen from over a mile away.
Project Goals: Art Allstate is an award-winning conference where the best high school art students in Massachusetts come together for an intensive studio experience. What the organizers of Art Allstate love about Tape Art is our ability to provide students with an example of art as a process rather than a product.
Project Outcome: Every year as students travel in and out of the museum building throughout the conference they witness a group of artists creating a large mural on the wall of the museum. This makes the removal of the work on the final day of the conference (within hours of the work's completion) a striking experience for many students who have feelings about the preciousness of their own artwork.
Project Reflections: This project served the dual purpose of engaging Art Allstate students in dialogue about art as process, and also created curiosity and excitement for the public community passing the wall. After doing work in the same space for so many years in a row, people began to look forward to the annual Tape Art mural and could relate stories of their favorite murals from the past.
Project Details: To accompany this art-making exhibition every year Tape Artists present a talk to students in front of the work, giving students an opportunity to ask questions about, process, materials and art in general.
Project Goals: Create a mind-blowing piece that engulfed the entire museum building (52,000sqft) and excited the public about the art inside.
Project Outcome: The mural tells an origin story for the greek sculpture Hygia, from the museum's collection. As you walk around the museum, you follow the sculpture from the days of its original creation through its life of being subjected to trade, taken as bounty during war, adapted for shifts in religious attitudes, hijacked by new cultures and ultimately the finding of its new home 2000 years later in a museum in Worcester.
Project Reflections: The scale of this project is what really made it special. The people of Worcester got to watch this mural unfold for five weeks, with the promise of new things to see every time they passed. The storytelling that brings the art of the museum to its exterior walls also gave context to the art inside and a way for people to relate to that art as an object in time and space and history.
Project Details: This project coincided with the rainiest summer in Worcester history to date. The museum provided lodging across the street for the five week duration of the project, which allowed us to take advantage of any breaks in the bad weather to draw. We would be out there at 1am if the wall was dry, which made this project an awesome endurance performance piece.
Ultimately the project was only up for 5 minutes in its completed state and was removed in reverse order so that the images that were put up on the first day of the project were the last to be removed from the wall.

The union contracts at ABX and Atlas have been amenable since 2015, meaning they are still in effect but available to be negotiated. Negotiations, which are reaching their fifth year, have been challenging, according to each pilot Business Insider spoke with. Pilot union negotiations are often lengthy - FedEx's most recent pilot labor negotiations lasted two years, while UPS's went on for 3 1/2 years.
ATI pilots, who also fly for Amazon Air, won a new labor contract in 2018. The new union contract had average wage increases of 41% to 51% for captains and 45% to 55% for first officers. Still, pilot pay is lower than other cargo airlines - ATI captains with decades of company experience earn 27% less than captains with the same experience flying the same jet at FedEx.

Information Note #3: Social Assistance & UN Cambodia's COVID-19 Response
Below provides an update of the United Nations in Cambodia response to the current COVID-19 outbreak and measures.
In close collaboration with the Royal Government of Cambodia, the United Nations supported the formulation and implementation of the new "emergency social assistance program" in the form of a one-time cash transfer. This will be rolled out in the first week of June 2021. The program is aimed at supporting livelihoods of the low-income population, households affected by the lockdown and families with members who have died of or are infected with COVID-19. Technical assistance to the Royal Government included:
estimating the potential scope and scale of the "emergency social assistance program", pre-identifying and registering potential beneficiaries from vulnerable populations, including the near-poor in vulnerable occupations, together with the Ministry of Planning
capacity building for administering mechanisms for identification and cash transfer delivery by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MoSAVY)
developing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework and tools for the cash transfer programs with National Social Protection Council/Ministry of Economy and Finance
The COVID-19 cash transfer program using the IDPoor system continued throughout the lockdown period and is benefiting more than 700,000 poor households, which is equivalent to more than 2.8 million people. This ID-Poor cash transfer system has been implemented by the Royal Government since May 2020, with technical assistance from the United Nations and Development Partners.
United Nations continues to advocate with the Royal Government that well-designed social protection programs serve to protect people's lives and livelihoods, especially the most vulnerable, it builds social cohesion, solidarity and stimulates the economy. It is vital to scale up the social protection system towards universal coverage and to make it more responsive to shocks.
In addition, the United Nations calls for: 1) implementing pandemic containment measures in a "do no harm" manner; 2) protecting people's access to food and essential needs; 3) facilitating the functioning of food supply chains and market functionality, and 4) enhancing the quantity, quality and coverage of the relief provided.
With the current COVID-19 community outbreak, focus should be both on the emergency response as well as preparedness for a larger-scale outbreak. This requires defining a standard for lockdown areas that addresses market functioning, categorizing essential workers to maintain food availability and access, establishing standard emergency food relief packages that are nutritionally adequate, having pre-identified population groups to receive social assistance in case of arising shocks, and identifying mechanisms for adequate coordination with stakeholders and effective communication with the public.
United Nations notes that at the country level, the State has the primary responsibility to assist and protect all people affected by an emergency within its territory, including by initiating, organizing, coordinating and implementing the humanitarian response. If there is a need or a request, then the UN can assist to ensure that people in need receive the required assistance and protection. Where relevant, the UN will advocate with the State so that humanitarian actors can reach affected people. However, assistance is provided with the consent of the affected country. The UN and its partners work to strengthen the response capacity of the country and to supplement national efforts. All assistance is provided in accordance with international law, national laws and adheres to humanitarian principles.

Breaking News: Shooting At Copenhagen Blasphemy Seminar
Danish police have said three officers were shot and wounded at blasphemy debate in Copenhagen where the French ambassador
was speaking.
Two gunmen are said to be still at large.
Reports say up to 40 shots were fired outside the venue in the Danish capital.
Controversial Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who has drawn caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, was also present at the debate.
Shortly after the attack, a message appeared on the Twitter feed of French ambassador Francois Zimeray saying he was unharmed.
The area around the venue, reportedly a cafe, is under lockdown, the BBC's Malcolm Brabant reports.
Police have erected cordons and are searching a nearby park, he adds.
Lars Vilks stoked controversy in 2007 by drawing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad dressed as a dog.

Q: Dependent Dropdown lists with go to url button Trying to create two dropdown lists where the 2nd has a dependency on the first, and the second contains URL values with a GO button that goes to the URL. For example - choose from a list of a few states, then choose from a list of a few cities in the selected state (not selectable until you choose a state), then hit a submit button that goes to the URL for that City's page.

Allowing big regional cities like Birmingham to decline while wealth and power was concentrated in London has helped cause Britain's economic difficulties, David Cameron has claimed.
The Conservative leader said a "balanced economy", in which wealth was spread more evenly, would be better placed to cope with the global downturn.
But he warned that Birmingham, which had once been an "economic powerhouse", had slipped well behind similar European cities.
Mr Cameron said his party would published detailed plans for devolving power away from the capital to local councils across the country, as he spoke to regional journalists in London.
He highlighted Conservative proposals for a £20 billion high speed rail line, linking Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and London, saying it would make major regional cities more attractive places to do business.
Many of the comments will be welcomed by Birmingham City Council, which has set out plans to seize control of local health and police services which are currently accountable to central government departments in Whitehall.
But Mr Cameron also reiterated his support for directly-elected city mayors, a policy which is opposed by Mike Whitby, Birmingham Council's Tory leader.
He said: "A more localised economy, in which every part of the country is economically active, is a more resilient economy.
"Let's be frank - growth has been too concentrated in London and other areas of the South East, and it not really surprising that wealth is concentrated there when power is concentrated there too.
Other parts of the country had been left behind, he said.
"A century ago, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle were the economic powerhouses of the world.
Better transport links would help Britain's big cities to succeed, he said.

High-flying Burton were held at home by AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night and are 5/6 favourites as they look to recapture the winning thread in Sky Bet League 2 against Oxford on Saturday.
The O's suffered a 1-0 defeat at Accrington in midweek and find themselves 17th in the standings ahead of this weekend's round of games.
Michael Appleton's side are 3/1 to claim victory at the Pirelli Stadium and the draw can be backed at 5/2.
Burton have only conceded once in their last three outings and are 15/8 to win to nil, while a 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 home victory can be backed at a combined price of 13/8.
Oxford are 11/8 to score once, 9/2 to score twice and 6/5 to draw a blank against Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Brewers.

Bernhard Havestadt Pater Bernhard Havestadt SJ, Padre Bernardo Havestadt S.J. (* 27. Februar 1714 in Köln; † 28. Januar 1781 in Münster) war ein deutscher Jesuit, Missionar und Sprachforscher der indigenen amerikanischen Sprache Mapudungun (Araukanische Sprachen).

Leben und Wirken
Havestadt wurde am 27. Februar 1714 in der St. Laurenz in der Kölner Innenstadt getauft. Wahrscheinlich stammte seine Familie aus dem Westfälischen, aus der Umgebung der Stadt Dülmen. In Köln besuchte er zunächst das Jesuitenkolleg, wo er etwa 1729 mit einem zweiten Preis in der Poetik-Klasse ausgezeichnet worden war. Nach seiner Schulzeit studierte er in Trier Philosophie, wo er am 20. Oktober von 1731 in die Gesellschaft Jesu, Compañía de Jesús eintrat.

Havestadt absolvierte sein Noviziat. Von 1735 bis 1740 setzte man ihn als Lehrer in Hadamar und Neuss ein. Danach studierte er erneut Theologie am Jesuitenkolleg in Büren (Westfalen). Nach vierzehn Jahren im Orden zwischen 1731 und 1745 erhielt er am 24. September 1743 in Büren sein Weihesakrament als römisch-katholischer Priester. Sein Tertiat verbrachte Havestadt im Haus Geist im Kirchspiel Oelde.

Havestadt war polyglott; er sprach neben Deutsch und Latein noch Spanisch, Englisch, Italienisch, Niederländisch und Portugiesisch sowie späterhin Mapudungun.

Nach einjähriger Volksmissionstätigkeit, die er von Horstmar in Westfalen aus begann, zog er 1746 in die araukanische Indianermission nach Chile.
Im Jahre 1746 war ihm dort seine zukünftige Missionsarbeit Südamerika zugewiesen worden. Er war damit einer der 102 deutschen Jesuiten, die im Generalkapitanat Chile wirkten. Er reiste von Amsterdam (Republik der Sieben Vereinigten Provinzen) aus nach Lissabon, wo er am 22. August 1746 eintraf und sich weiteren Jesuiten anschloss. In Lissabon hatte der Prokurator Graf von Karl Haimhausen (1692–1767), ein aus Bayern stammender Jesuit, eine Gruppe von Missionaren um sich gesammelt. Die Weiterreise nach Brasilien gelang aber erst am 14. Mai 1747, also des folgenden Jahres.
Havestadt hielt sich zunächst in Rio de Janeiro und im November 1747 in Buenos Aires auf, um schließlich sein Ziel, das Generalkapitanat Chile (Vizekönigreich Peru) bei den Mapuche zu erreichen. Man brach im Frühjahr des Jahres 1748 mit Maultieren durch die argentinische Pampa in Richtung der Kordilleren (Cordillera de la Costa). Schließlich erreichte man Santiago de Chile. Sein ihm zugewiesenes Missionsgebiet lag zwischen Concepción und Valdivia.

Sein Lebensmittelpunkt befand sich Santa Fé südöstlich von Concepción am Río Bío Bío. Dort erhielt er 1748 von dem Jesuitenpater Franz Xaver Wolfwisen (* 1679) Sprachunterricht in der lokalen indianischen Sprache.

Zwischen 1751 und 1767 bereiste er das südlichen Chile, insbesondere die Insel Chiloé. Seit etwa 1756 arbeitete Havestadt an einem in spanischer Sprache verfassten Werk über die Sprache der Mapuche. Das Mapudungun ist eine der größeren isolierten Sprachen. Mit dem jesuitischen Ordensbruder Andrés Febrès (1734–1790) gab es offensichtlich einen wissenschaftlichen Austausch.

Doch der Drucklegung kam die Vertreibung zuvor. Lediglich ein Manuskript konnte er auf seiner Rückkehr nach Europa retten. Er übersetzte es noch als Ordensmitglied 1772 ins Lateinische, aber erst nach seiner Exklaustrierung im Jahre 1775 konnte er es in Köln und 1777 in Münster drucken lassen.

Pater Havestadt schrieb 1777:

Während seiner Reisen durch Chile setzte er sich den unterschiedlichsten Gefahren aus, bis zu seiner Gefangennahme und Vertreibung mit den anderen jesuitischen Missionaren im Jahre 1768. Havestadt und seine Mitbrüder waren durch die allgemeine Ausweisung der Jesuiten aus den portugiesischen und spanischen Territorien (zuerst 1759 dann 1767/68, Expulsión de los jesuitas del Imperio Español de 1767) betroffen, die schließlich zur Aufhebung der Gesellschaft Jesu (1773) führte. Denn am 2. April 1767 unterzeichnete der König Karl III., Carlos III de España den Erlass, der die Verbannung der Jesuiten vom spanischen Besitz in Amerika einleitete.

Die Vertreter der spanischen Administration deportierten ihn nach Valparaíso und auf dem Seeweg brachte man ihn im Juli 1768 nach Callao und schließlich nach Panama, Ciudad de Panamá (Vizekönigreich Neugranada). Sodann ging es über Land nach Portobelo in der Karibik. Von dort segelte er mit dem Schiff nach Cartagena und nach Havanna auf Kuba (Vizekönigreich Neuspanien), schließlich über den Atlantik nach Cádiz im Königreich Spanien. In Spanien wurde er am 26. Mai 1769 verhört, inhaftiert und am 4. September 1770 auf freien Fuß gesetzt. Man hielt ihn im Kloster Monasterio de la Victoria in El Puerto de Santa María insgesamt 16 Monate fest.

Über Genua, Serenissima Repubblica di Genova in Italien und Österreich erreichte er schließlich Deutschland. Er beendete seine abenteuerliche Heimkehr in den Jahren 1768 bis 1771 im Haus Geist in Oelde in Westfalen, wo er bei den Jesuiten wieder Aufnahme fand. Als es dann im Jahre 1773 zur Aufhebung des Jesuitenordens kam, zog er sich zu Verwandten nach Uedinck bei Münster zurück. Fast erblindet starb er in Münster, wo man ihn in der Kirchengemeinde von St. Martini am 30. Januar 1781 bestattete.

Wirkgeschichte
Wilhelm von Humboldt besaß die Chilidugu sive tractatus de lingua seu idiomate Indo-Chilensi, die er außerordentlich schätzte.
Humboldt verwendet Havestadts Werk in seinen Arbeiten über die amerikanischen Sprachen.  Obgleich er Havestadts einseitig lexikalische Darstellung kritisierte, sah er dennoch die Notwendigkeit die in einer Sprache gegebenen "Wortmasse" zunächst zu erfassen.
