This map shows the location of the New Progressive Cathedral (COGIC) from 2006 to present.
In November 2005, the Roman Catholic Community of the 19th Ward, a cost-sharing venture of four neighborhood churches, concluded a process of pastoral planning. Three churches — Our Lady of Good Counsel, St. Augustine, and Ss. Peter and Paul — would be closed and sold. Parishioners would report to St. Monica, which would also become home to Emmanuel Church of the Deaf.[1] Once St. Augustine closed, the Diocese of Rochester sold the church to the New York Western First Ecclesiastical Junction of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), which converted the building into the New Progressive Cathedral.[2] Originally named the Progressive Church of COGIC, the congregation was first located at 537 Post Avenue in the 19th Ward from 1981–84, and then at 270 Cumberland Street (near the Rochester Amtrak station and main post office) from 1984–2005.[3]

COGIC is a Pentecostal denomination. Pentecostalism emerged from the holiness movement of the late nineteenth century. Protestant holiness adherents believed in a theology of sanctification, or a growing disinclination to sin, leading one toward spiritual perfection. Biblical literalism and a belief in miraculous practices akin to those of the Biblical apostles — speaking in tongues, healing through prayer, etc. — characterized the holiness Christians. Two cases of spiritual gifts galvanized the movement. Theologian Charles Parham reported in 1901 that the Holy Spirit empowered him to speak in tongues. In 1906, his student, African American preacher William J. Seymour, reported that the Holy Spirit had given him and his multiethnic parishioners extraordinary abilities at the Azusa Street mission in Los Angeles. Seymour's revival is generally accepted as the point at which Pentecostalism solidified as a separate form of Protestantism. marked the beginning of the Pentecostal movement.[4] Charles H. Mason, the African American founder of the Church of God in Christ, accepted Pentecostal theology in 1907. Under Mason's leadership, COGIC became wildly popular, with millions of adherents by century's end. Mason's followers were primarily, but not exclusively, African American.[5]
In 1917, Mason tasked three female administrators, Sisters Maydie Payton, Charlotte Brown, and Maude Jackson, and a male Elder with running the first New York COGIC congregation in Lackawanna, near Buffalo. The number of churches in Western New York eventually grew so large that the church leadership split the region into two jurisdictions in 1969.[6] Today, the New York Western First Junction consists of 90 churches spread across much of Upstate New York.[7] Bishop Leroy R. Anderson ran the First Junction (including Rochester) from 1969 to April 2004, when Bishop James R. Wright Sr. took over from him as jurisdictional prelate.[8] Wright had founded Rochester's Progressive Church in 1981, while he still worked as the director of the city's Phyllis Wheatley Library.[9] As such, Wright has directed Rochester's New Progressive Cathedral, in its three iterations, for almost forty years. He received a Renaissance Award from Mayor William A. Johnson Jr. in December 2005 and participated in the interfaith invocation at Mayor Robert Duffy's inauguration on New Year's Day, 2006.[10]
As detailed on the New Progressive Cathedral's website, COGIC members believe in Biblical infallibility, the rapture at the end of time, spiritual gifts from the Holy Ghost, and a process of personal sanctification, or an increasing resistance to temptation after being saved. COGIC church doctrine also reflects a complementarian conception of gender.[11] Only men are ordained as ministers, but ministers' wives are accorded great respect as the first ladies or mothers of their congregations. Mother Maritha J. Wright, Bishop Wright's wife, is the First Lady of the New Progressive Cathedral. The Western First Junction has a separate Department of Women, with a female executive who serves under the bishop. From 2013 to the time of this writing (spring 2019), Mother Althea Chaplin has run the Department of Women. Women also serve as evangelists and missionaries in the community.[12] Distinct ministries for men, women, and youth are offered at the New Progressive Cathedral.[13] Esteemed City Court judge and civil rights activist Roy W. King served as the cathedral's assistant pastor and chairman of the Board of Trustees from his retirement to his death in January 2018.[14]
The Western First Junction's Bishop James R. Wright Sr. Institute of Christian Education, which frequently hosts events at Roberts Wesleyan College, regularly coordinates continuing education programs with the cathedral. The Institute supports the "development of children's and adult's social, health/wellness and academic-wellbeing, particularly in the Rochester city community."[15] It has hosted several "NYW#1 Health Fairs," featuring medical and holistic medicine tutorials, at the cathedral.[16] Rev. Dr. Kenneth and Lady Nicole Newman, who lead the COGIC New Hope Family Life Center in Rensselear, currently supervise the institute.[17]
Preaching at the New Progressive Cathedral tends to be dramatic and punctuated with organ music, reflecting the revivalist origins of the Pentecostal movement. Members of the congregation attend worship in formal attire, unless the service is a baptism, in which case the person to be baptized wears all white. It is common for church members to exclaim, dance, and participate actively in worship, rather than remain seated.[18] Every August, the Western First Junction hosts the "Annual Holy Convocation," a multi-day conference with worship and sessions on a variety of Christian topics. The cathedral is the primary venue, but events also occur at downtown sites such as the Riverside Convention Center.[19]
Much of the New Progressive Cathedral's programming prioritizes education, civic participation, and public health in the 19th Ward. The church is a member of Rochester's Interfaith Action network.[20] In the weeks before Election Day, 2008 — the day Barack Obama was elected president — Bishop Wright urged congregation members to vote. Thirty New Progressive Cathedral volunteers, led by St. Monica Roman Catholic Church administrator Roxie Sinkler, registered voters and publicized the upcoming election. Over 1,000 more residents of the surrounding four city districts voted in 2008 than in 2004.[21] After the infamous 19th Ward mass shooting of August 20, 2015, Rochester mayor Lovely Warren led a "Clergy on Patrol" march from the cathedral to the Genesee Street Boys and Girls Club.[22] The Alzheimer's Association Rochester & Finger Lakes Region held "Brain Health and Mental Health Seminar: A Community Aging Well Together," a program for local Alzheimer's patients and caregivers, at the cathedral in October 2016.[23]
In 2012, the cathedral petitioned the City of Rochester to open the Mary L. Wright Preparatory Charter School for Health and Legal Careers (Wright Prep) at their complex. The application to the New York State Department of Education emphasized the need to support a "student population similar to that in the Rochester City School District," with particular attention to students who have fallen behind.[24] Wright Prep has not opened as of Spring 2020.

Really starting to like this guy. I read his stuff consistently for awhile, stopped for no reason and now I am back to reading it.
There is a hideous new trend in sports that we need to stomp out like milkweed before it spreads. Scientists are calling it the Hey, look what I did, everybody! syndrome. There have been three dreadful examples of it lately, all from people who should know better.
Start with Phil Jackson. When he and his Lakers fricasseed the Magic to win another title, it was Jackson's 10th NBA coaching championship, a new record. Jackson had become the king of coaches. Everyone knew he was going for 10 — it's not like it was a secret — and there was the appropriate applause, huzzahs and standing on chairs.
But that wasn't good enough for him. He decided to paint a mustache on his Mona Lisa by quickly grabbing a hat with a big X on it — for 10 — and plunking it on his head.
Hey, look what I did, everybody!
Tacky. Shrill. Brash. For a Zenmaster, it was very un-Zen. Here was the all-time preacher of team hoops, with his team all around him — still sweaty from all that teamwork — and Jackson suddenly went 100 percent "me." That hat said, Aren't I amazing! Doesn't this hat prove it? Don't you wish you had one?
I hated that hat for the same reason I hate those hideous championship T-shirts and caps that teams don the instant the final buzzer sounds. Why cover up the glory of the jerseys you bled in together all season — the ones that have your city or team name emblazoned on the front — with some ugly shirts nobody can read? And why top it off with an ugly hat that just dangles a tag in your face?
Anyway, at least Jackson and his agents decided to donate the proceeds from X hat sales to charity. Of course, that just makes what Roger Federer did look so much worse.
Not two minutes after he had defeated Andy Roddick in a 77-game Wimble-never-done final, he went back to his bench, pulled out a tracksuit top with a 15 plastered on the side, put it on and spun around for the TV cameras. It was his way of congratulating himself on his 15th major, the one that bested Pete Sampras' old mark.
Now you tell me: How was poor Roddick supposed to have taken that? It's like Rog was bragging: I knew I was going to roast you, A-Rod. That's why my people have been working on this all week!
Talk about cheeky. I mean, it's not as if some little seamstress ran out to iron the patch onto his jacket after the fact. The thing was in his bag the whole time! It's not just the sweater that was manufactured. The gesture was too.
I hated that sweater for the same reason I hate when a player preens for the camera in the "I'm going to Disney World" commercials. Here's his pinnacle moment, the one he's worked toward his whole life. He should be going absolutely Lindsay Lohan nuts, but instead he's looking into the sea of people for a director, a cameraman and a boom mike.
Once more, Mr. Montana — only this time, can you cry?
Federer's sweater was a rare show of classlessness from a normally classy guy. One dipped in gold, no less. A gold sweater with a gold 15 pulled out of a gold man-bag. What, they couldn't gold-plate the man himself?
Jackson and Federer — are better than that. They almost always rise above the schlock. When they don't, it's unbecoming.
I don't remember seeing pictures of FDR rolling up to his fourth election-night victory speech wearing a "Four-ever!" tuxedo jacket. Neil Armstrong didn't splash down with a "MoonMan" tat on his biceps. And I sure don't remember John Wooden slapping on an X hat after his 10th NCAA title.
Athletes, coaches … these are your moments; don't sell their purity. You will get your due, in due time.
Just let it come from us.
As I have mentioned before, the theme of the month here at PDS is sportsmanship. I watched another great video and thought I would share it. My goal is to give you these so that you can watch these as a family and discuss them. There is so much in this one that I will let you take it in whatever direction you want to go. Be strategic and discuss this over dinner.
The theme for this month at PDS is sportsmanship. One of our first grade teachers, Palmer Smith, used this video and I thought it was really good. I know many of you have seen it but I thought it was worth sharing again. It is definitely a video that you can watch as a family and talk about over dinner.

In this episode of JackTalk, chatting with one of my real estate school students and up comes the age old question, big agency or a small agency and much more! - Broker/Owner Jack Gately Real Estate, ONLINE Real Estate Academy, Cape Cod Online Real Estate Academy, Broker School Online. _ Jack Gately is the owner of Jack Gately Real Estate and the All ONLINE Real Estate Academy. Jack first started in real estate part time while working a job he hated but paid consistently during the post 2008 recession. As a husband and father of two with giant mortgage, he stuck with (and got stuck in) a dead end job to pay the bills (and sometimes not even that) and began renting Boston apartments in his free time on nights and weekends in 2011. Renting apartments came easy to the native Bostonian who has lived in Mattapan, Beacon Hill and North End. In 2014, he founded Jack Gately Real Estate based in Boston and Sagamore Beach and later in 2014 he opened the Canal Real Estate School in Sagamore Beach. In 2016, the Canal Real Estate School was the first school to apply for and receive authorization from the Massachusetts Board of Registration to teach class online. In May 2017, Jack took a big risk and closed his brick and mortar real estate school and renamed the school the All ONLINE Real Estate Academy. It is the the first and still only Massachusetts real estate school without a brick and mortar classroom. The school is now based from Jack's Boston office. Jack is a graduate of UMass/Boston and holds an MPA from Suffolk University.
In this episode of the Jack Gately Show I sit down with Weichert, Hudson Morgan Group and ask "What makes an agent successful?"

China man wins lottery; doesn't tell family because they might become too carefree and lazy
By NICK GARCIA Published Nov 02, 2022 3:12 pm Updated Nov 02, 2022 10:14 pm
"Li," the one in yellow costume, won 220 million yuan (P1.76 billion) in the lottery. (Guangxi Welfare Lottery Center via Bloomberg)
A man from China won nearly 220 million yuan (P1.76 billion) in the lottery. He, however, kept it secret from his wife and child because he was afraid that they might become too carefree and lazy.
South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that the man, under the alias "Li," bought 40 lottery tickets worth 80 yuan (P640) each in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang. Every ticket had the similar seven numbers.
All seven numbers hit, according to the local Nanning Evening News, as cited by SCMP. Bloomberg also reported that the numbers he's playing for years, or "alaga" in local parlance, were: 2, 15, 19, 26, 27, 29, and 2.
Li's windfall gains amounted to 5.48 million yuan per ticket, or under 220 million.
Statistical improbability or a miracle? Statisticians, experts weigh in on the P236M Grand Lotto issue
Upon hitting the jackpot on Oct. 21, Li couldn't sleep and took a train to the region's capital Nanning the very next morning. SCMP reported that he stayed in a hotel for the weekend, for fear of losing his tickets.
He went to Guangxi Welfare Lottery Distribution Center in the city on Oct. 24 to collect his winnings. During the check presentation ceremony, he dressed up in a cartoon costume, one of the country's popular ways of protecting lottery winners' identities according to SCMP.
While the stroke of luck made him so excited, Li didn't share the good news with anybody, including his very own family.
"I am concerned that they might feel superior to other people and will not work or study hard in future," he is quoted as saying.
In any case, the lottery money will be considered a joint asset with his wife. A lawyer told local outlet Jiupai News, as cited by SCMP, that Li might be violating local marriage laws for "infringing on his wife's right to know."
Just got lucky: Woman wins lottery twice in one week
Li said he's a "loyal fan" of lottery, having bought tickets regularly for over a decade. He noted that he doesn't "spend much" on it, and that his family "does not care" about it.
Though he only won a few dozen yuan in the past, Li kept his "alaga" as the numbers, he said, "looked pleasing."
"The lottery provides a ray of hope for me," he is quoted as saying.
Li will take home some 171 million yuan (P1.37 billion) after paying taxes and donating 5 million (P40 million) to charity, SCMP reported.
Asked how he will spend his money, Li said he hasn't decided yet and will "take some time" to plan things.

Why do I need an underwater hull cleaning service?
The obvious reason is to keep your boat bottom clean.
But why do I need to keep it clean?
Regularly scheduled underwater hull cleaning is the single most important preventative maintenance service!
First frequent underwater hull cleaning extends the life of your bottom paint.
First, by removing the algae slime layer before invertebrate (Hard growth) can attach and dig into the bottom paint.
Second, cleaning the painted surfaces is only part of the job. The diver must also tend to clean the unpainted metal parts of your vessel, primarily the running gear and thru hulls. Proper cleaning of the hull, running gear and thru hulls improves vessel performance and saves fuel costs. Keeping the thru hull intakes clear ensures proper performance of the various systems inside the vessel, engine, generator, head, air conditioner, refrigerator and galley.
Third, another extremely important service provided by the underwater hull cleaning diver is tending to and replacing the sacrificial anodes (Zinc). The diver must inspect, tighten and periodically replace the various zinc anodes which protect the different metal parts of the vessel from galvanic corrosion (electrolysis).
Fourth, during the hull cleaning process the diver inspects the hull and hardware as he cleans it for impact damages and electrolysis. He also monitors the fiberglass hull for osmotic blistering, the wood hull for worm damages and the steel or aluminum hull for electrolysis.

# Transient Objects

Most registrations performed on an @Rezolver.ITargetContainer will result in transient
objects being created when the @Rezolver.IContainer.Resolve* method of an @Rezolver.IContainer
is called.  Ultimately, the transience of an object is determined by the @Rezolver.ITarget that
is registered against the type that's requested from the container.

Some of these targets create inherently transient objects, whilst some inherit or expressly control the
lifetimee of other targets.

The following table summarises this:

@Rezolver.ITarget implementation | Transient? | Notes
--- | --- | ---
@Rezolver.Targets.ChangeTypeTarget | *Inherited* | Target doesn't create anything, only changes the type of another target's result, therefore it inherits that target's lifetime.
@Rezolver.Targets.ConstructorTarget | **Yes** |
*@Rezolver.Targets.DecoratorTarget | **Yes** | It's not currently possible to directly control the lifetime of a decorator - only the object it decorates.
@Rezolver.Targets.DefaultTarget | No | Default values are cached per-type, therefore even value type defaults are technically singletons.
@Rezolver.Targets.DelegateTarget | **Depends on the delegate** | The delegate is *always* executed, so the transience of the object it returns depends on the delegate's logic.
@Rezolver.Targets.ExpressionTarget | **Depends on the expression** | Like @Rezolver.Targets.DelegateTarget, the expression itself determines the lifetime of the object produced.
@Rezolver.Targets.GenericConstructorTarget | **Yes** | Same as @Rezolver.Targets.ConstructorTarget.
@Rezolver.Targets.ListTarget | **Yes** |
@Rezolver.Targets.ObjectTarget | No |
*@Rezolver.Targets.OptionalParameterTarget | No | Only used to bind optional constructor parameters to their default values
@Rezolver.Targets.ResolvedTarget | **Depends** | This target represents an explicit instruction to resolve an object/value from the container - therefore the lifetime of the object produced depends on the lifetime of the registration which ultimately gets resolved.
@Rezolver.Targets.ScopedTarget | No | This target is responsible for Rezolver's implementation of [scoped objects](scoped.md).
@Rezolver.Targets.SingletonTarget | No | This target is responsible for Rezolver's implementation of [singleton objects](singleton.md).
*@Rezolver.Targets.UnscopedTarget | *Inherited* | This target is used to strip explicit or implicit scoping behaviour from another target.

* _Denotes a target which is used indirectly by other registrations and not generally used directly by applications_

There's no need for any further examples for transient objects, as most of the examples throughout this documentation (see the [constructor injection documentation](../constructor-injection/index.md)
for example) use the targets which are marked as transient in the above table.

* * *

# Next steps

- Head over to the [singletons topic](singleton.md) to read about how to use the @Rezolver.Targets.SingletonTarget to see how to turn any target into a singleton.

Fearless Parent Radio Show
Marketplace and Dispensary
Sheepdog Parents and the Violent Media Wolf
Who Is Watching Your Tender Flock?
by Carla Atherton, Director of the Healthy Family Formula
Yesterday, I rolled the dice on what podcast I would listen to while I was embarking on yet another long country drive, and the numbers landed me on a Bulletproof Radio Podcast episode with Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman. It turned out to be HANDS DOWN one of the THE MOST important podcasts every parent needs to listen to NOW. Especially parents of children and teens who play video games.
I have been very concerned for many years now about the detrimental effects media and technology definitively have on our children's mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health; and these effects are many and affect every aspect of our children's beings.
Violent media:
Dysregulates the Central Nervous System
Affects the delicate neurochemical balance in the brain
Alters brain pruning and development
Can cause trauma and PTSD
Causes addictive behaviours
Steals time away from relationship, family, friendship, adventure, and joy that happen in real life
It is even changing the anatomy of the human hand in ONE generation
The list goes on and on and on…
But what Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman talks about in this podcast goes beyond even that. If you think that video games and violent media do not make our children more prone to harming themselves and others in real life, listen to this podcast, then tell me you still believe that.
I agree with Dave that this "digital crack" is not unlike child abuse from an industry making a lot of money at the expense of our children's mental and physical wellbeing and should be categorized with other things we would NEVER allow into our children's lives such as alcohol, drugs, and pornography. I'm with Dave when he passionately asserts that we need to protect our children from the assaults violent media not only conveys as "reality" but actually imposes upon our children. In other words, our children are being abused by violent media. And we are letting it happen.
Violent media makes you feel just plain overwhelmed, crazy, or even the opposite: apathetic and numb! It is messing with our children's mental health, contributing to the escalation of homicide, suicide, and other violent acts such as emotional, mental, and sexual abuse. If you need proof, read Dave Grossman's books (one being Assassination Generation) or visit his website. I am working on snagging him for an interview, so stay tuned for that, as well.
Parents, this is more than cause to be concerned and to say "no more!" because, not only does overuse or even occasional misuse of technology hurt our children's bodies, it hurts their spirits and their minds, and as Dave Asprey told his son, it hurts their hearts. And those hearts are precious.
I listened to this podcast with keen interest, nodding my head with every punch of Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman's words because the evidence and conclusions he presented were living proof of what I both intuitively felt and found to be true in my own experience in this world. I listened with concern as his words confirmed the worst of my fears. I even cried listening to some of the actual stories of children and teens who were lost to unsuspecting parents. And lost to what?! Just a G-D waste! It saddens me, enrages me, that dots on a screen can pull our children away from the lives they were meant to rock.
Perhaps I am a figurative sheepdog; I am willing to kill a false belief, bring down the facade the big media companies flourish behind, for the betterment of the flock, for the sake of the most precious and delicate among us. And I encourage you to be one, too.
Here is the link to the Bulletproof episode. Listen with open minds, parents. It will blow you away.

Spending the Day on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake may not be a very colorful moniker, especially for a rather picturesque body of water. It's not really accurate either. Nobody's sitting on its banks drinking the day away, let alone smoking pot, popping pills or shooting heroin. So what's with the name?
That's what The State's David Travis Bland asked himself after a sudden Twitter surge sparked some intriguing calls to his newspaper. Seems Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake's got its own Wikipedia page. It also seems folks weren't entirely sold on that page's veracity. So they'd begun contacting The State in order to find out what's what. Since Bland's "a crime and public safety reporter with a storytelling mission" (thanks Muck Rack!), it seemed only natural that he'd be tasked with the rundown.
And run down the story he did, with joyful tenacity. Then he told the tale; exhibiting all the charm of a born storyteller.
Here are some of the highlights:
The Story of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake
To begin with, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake is indeed a real place. In fact, it's set smack in the center of the state. Well, about 10 miles from the center anyway. See the state, South Carolina, has a capital, Columbia, that was purposely built in its geographic center. Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake is around 10 miles outside of downtown.
A lot of folks consider Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake to be its real name too. Others, not so much. Staff at the South Carolina Department of Mental Health for instance call it "the pond at Morris Village" or "Morris Village Pond." Bland found official Department documents though that refer to the body of water as the "Village Lake." The discrepancy is a tad odd considering the South Carolina Department of Mental Health actually owns the lake.
The Department also owns Morris Village, which is run by its Division of Inpatient Services. See, Morris Village is officially named The Morris Village Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment Center. And it's been offering adult inpatient addiction treatment services since way back in 1975.
Yep, you read correctly. Morris Village helps people beat alcohol and drug abuse. So no, "it's not much of a stretch" to suppose the nickname came from the pond's sitting right there on rehab center land.
But is Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake really a nickname? Not to the the United States Geological Survey. Not to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers either. In fact, the Corps used just that name to list the "reservoir" in the USGS's database of water features. A USGS spokesperson told Bland the name came from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' "Dams and Reservoirs list." That side of the origin story ran cold from there.
A Higher Purpose
But Bland wasn't content to end his story simply having sussed out the name's origin; he was also sure to show that "the pond and where it's housed has a serious purpose."
And providing effective and efficient addiction treatment to the citizens of South Carolina is indeed a serious purpose. A very serious purpose. One that Morris Village has been steadily upholding for nearly half a century. Do you have any idea how many people that makes? Neither do we. But we're sure that it's legions.
Bland was also quite right to end his story with a satellite snap (both real and literal) of Morris Village's lakefront layout.
Fourteen cottages surround a bevy of centrally located community facilities, explained SCDMH spokesperson Tracy LaPointe, including a barber shop, library, and canteen. There's also a full suite of on-site services, from family education and therapy to relapse prevention planning, as well as case management and medical care. Set all that aside a picture-perfect body of water and you've got a healing, helping place, no matter the name of its lake. You've also got a place worthy of great good story.
Gratitude & Salutations
Healing Properties wholeheartedly thanks The State's David Travis Bland for putting us on to such great good story; we'd also like to salute him for so deftly telling the tale. Salutations too to Tracy LaPointe and everyone at the South Carolina Department of Mental Health for so devotedly helping the citizens of their state. We especially salute the folks at Morris Village; whether resident or staff, our very best wishes are with you all.
What about you? Could you use a dip in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake? Help is out there you know. In South Carolina and beyond. All you've got to do is pick up the phone and call someone. Why not give it a try? The call just may save your life.

UK strengthens 2030 climate goals
THE UK Government has announced that it intends to cut emissions by 68% from 1990 levels by 2030, as part of its updated Paris Agreement pledge.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the UK's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) – its pledge under the Paris Agreement – would aim to cut emissions by 68% by 2030 compared to levels in 1990. This will be the UK's first NDC, as previously it was covered under the EU. The UK's previous target under the EU's NDC was 53% emissions cuts. However, the UK had had its own target under the 2008 Climate Change Act for a 57% reduction between 2028 and 2032 as part of the fifth carbon budget.
The Government announcement said that the new target is backed by the recently announced Ten Point Plan for a green industrial revolution. It also said that it intends to meet the target through domestic action and not through using international carbon credits. The NDC doesn't take into account emissions from international aviation and shipping, but the Government is "supportive" of action to tackle those emissions.
Johnson said: "We have proven we can reduce our emissions and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in the process – uniting businesses, academics, NGOs and local communities in a common goal to go further and faster to tackle climate change. Today, we are taking the lead with an ambitious new target to reduce our emissions by 2030, faster than any major economy, with our Ten Point Plan helping us on our path to reach it."
Alok Sharma, Business and Energy Secretary and COP26 President, said: "The UK's new emissions target is among the highest in the world and reflects the urgency and scale of the challenge our planet faces. I hope other countries join us and raise the bar at next week's UN Climate Ambition Summit, and ahead of the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow next year."
The full NDC will be submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) before the Climate Action Summit, which is hosted by the UK, France, and the UN. The Summit will take place on 12 December to mark the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Agreement. The summit calls on other Paris Agreement signatories to submit ambitious NDCs.
More commitment needed
The Climate Change Committee (CCC – formerly the Committee on Climate Change) had recommended the target of at least 68% emissions reductions. The CCC will publish its advice on the UK's sixth carbon budget next week, where it will advise the Government on emissions targets for 2033–2037. The sixth carbon budget will be in line with the net zero by 2050 target.
Lord Deben, Chairman of the CCC wrote to Alok Sharma prior to the announcement: "This trajectory for UK emissions is eminently achievable, provided effective policies are introduced across the economy without delay. These would bring significant benefits for the UK's economic recovery.
"The NDC is more than just a number. It should be accompanied by wider climate commitments, including the development of a policy package and net zero strategy to deliver against the UK goal, clear commitments to reduce international aviation and shipping emissions, and greater support for climate finance, particularly for developing countries. It is also imperative that the NDC is accompanied by strengthened climate change adaptation plans – with new commitments – for the UK to show its leadership on emissions reduction and adaptation."
Making it happen
Johnson's announcement was generally welcomed, however there have been calls for further action on policy, carbon prices, and support for developing countries. There have also been comments that the emissions reductions target should be higher.
The Climate Coalition – a group of more than 140 organisations – said that the UK should be targeting 75% emissions reductions. Ed Matthew, COP26 Co-Director for the Climate Coalition, wrote that the target is technically feasible and that it would be a huge economic opportunity. He said that the UK has a greater obligation to reduce emissions as it is the seventh biggest emitter historically. "It has a clear moral duty to reduce emissions as fast as it possibly can and support others to do so. The poorest countries in the world have done the least to cause climate change but they are the ones who are likely to suffer the most."
Steve Smith, of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford, said: "The next step is to make this happen. The Government's recent 10-point plan needed a few more points adding to it in order to meet the previous aim for 2030, let alone to go further. Being ambitious isn't just about owing the world for our decades of high emissions; it's also about getting on with creating jobs, homes and habitats fit for our future."
Mirabelle Muûls, Assistant Professor in Economics, Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, said: "The UK is setting an ambitious new NDC, five years after the historic Paris Agreement, hopefully leading by example in preparation for COP26: we need global action for all countries to move fast enough towards limiting warming to well below 2oC. However, investment beyond that announced in the ten-point plan will be needed to achieve such a goal. Strong policies, and in particular a price on carbon, are needed to incentivise businesses and people to change, for the transition to be just and for private investment to follow."
Piers Forster, Professor of Climate Change and Priestley Centre Director, University of Leeds, said: "It's a great target but other things need to be added to make it align with the ambition of the Paris Agreement. We need to see additional action on international aviation and shipping. We also need to support for developing countries that both enable them to decarbonise within 10 years of our own target, and to become resilient to the climate damage they continue to suffer as global warming continues."

Wonder Woman – rm
You take a $149 million budget (which thus far has earned six times that amount), pull together a cast and crew with behind the screens technicians probably totaling at least a thousand people (based on the credits), put it together in at least four different countries (USA, Italy, Hungary and New Zealand) and build a story around a character who has been a heroine to at least three generations of girls and you get magnificent Wonder Woman! (Gal Gadot) She, of course, can leap buildings in a single bound (like Superman did), can stop bullets with her wristband or even catch them, has super strength and of course she has a magic lasso which will make anyone tell the truth.
We meet our heroine as a young girl as she is training to be an Amazon (all powerful women) on a secret island. It is during World War I and a British pilot (Chris Pine) on a spy mission is being chased by a flotilla of German boats with lots of German soldiers. He crashes into the water and is saved by our heroine who fights off the pursuing Germans until the other Amazon women come to help and wipe them all out. But our spy knows that the Germans have a new secret weapon that involves a deadly gas and he must, get the news back to the Allies. They're in a tremendous battle, a confrontation with the evil of all evil men and many other things that you can imagine.
But the real heroes and heroines of this film have to be the behind the scenes technicians who produced the tremendous special effects that are throughout just about every scene with appropriate sound effects and music. This is all under the direction of Patty Jenkins with a screenplay and story by Zack Snyder and Allan Heinberg. There was an excellent supporting cast including Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, Danny Huston, David Thewlis and many others.
We understand that most women viewers have been quite touched and even tearful at the end of this film and the female member of our duo was also moved. We don't know if many guys felt that way and it could be a whole new discussion figuring out what this film is tapping into. But all should agree that we are seeing a classic and there will probably be a sequel (2017).

People Like Us – sp We know of several instances, from personal life as well as from our professional work, of friends and relatives encountering siblings who they never knew previously existed. Each story is different but the impact on the people involved is usually quite powerful. No matter what age this revelation occurs it has the potential to shatter one's concept of your parents, rework your ideas of honesty and truth and lead to a reexamination of your own identity. The writing team of Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jody Lambert each had some personal experience or first hand knowledge of such events which they were able to draw upon to put together this remarkable story. They weaved the details of the story line of each character together with the emotional reveal in a manner which riveted the attention of the viewer throughout the whole process. Although most of the characters were quite likeable and the story was sprinkled with some heart warming comedy, we were still witnessing a tragic story which appeared to be doubling down on the bad luck that each character was experiencing. Sam (Chris Pine) and Frankie (Elizabeth Banks) are the family members who once they confront each other have to relive and deal with the meaning of their unhappy childhood. Michelle Pfeiffer has the role of Lilian, Sam's mother who is hardened, bitter and looks it which in itself is a great accomplishment for this very fine and beautiful actress. Michael Hall D'Addanio is Josh, Frankie's 11 year son in a performance which may very well be remembered after he establishes himself as an adult star. Josh's recently deceased grandfather Gerald Harper was a music and record producer who has created all the misery on the screen as he has fathered both Sam and Frankie while neither knew of each other's existence. Throughout most of the 115 minutes of this movie , it seemed almost impossible to imagine how any type of satisfying ending was remotely possible. Much of the success for the resolution of the story and execution of the movie should go to Alex Kurtzman who not only co-wrote the story but also directed it. In the end not only are the characters all in a better place with a new prospective on life, but the audience has the chance to reconsider our own relationships with parents and children because the movie we have just seen in one way or another is about " people like us."

Bottle Shock – nf – We finally caught up with this movie that we had been wanting to see since we missed it at the local movie theatres. As new Californians the pride we have in California wines is nothing compared to the passion that Napa valley vinters had in their local wines which 35 years ago were hardly recognized world wide as compared to French wines. This movie, which is based a true story, centers on Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) a Brit living in Paris who had a wine store there and his pal and confidant (Dennis Farina). Spurrier decided that he would stimulate interest in buying wine by showing that in the 1976 bicentennial anniversary year, the upstart Americans still could not make wine, which could hold a candle to the established French products. He travels to America and meets Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) owner, but deeply in debt, of the Montelena Chateau and his son Bo (Chris Pine) as well as a group of other California vintners. He convinces 12 of them to give him two bottles each to enter into a French wine tasting event in which the wine would be blindly judged. The California group knew that "if one wins, they all would win." As they say, the rest is history. There are a few subplots which include Sam (Rachel Taylor) the beautiful graduate student wine intern, Bo, Barrett's son who gets boxed around by his father and Gustavo (Freddy Rodriquez), the Mexican-American farm hand who is owner of a small wine maker operation with his father (Miquel Sandoval). The movie also stars the beautiful green California grape yards, the spirited Napa Valley Wine growers and the very French wine guys in Paris. There is the expectable dramatic blind wine tasting contest in Paris which has subsequently come to be known as Judgment in Paris. There were no big surprises although you do come away from the movie feeling good and also having learned an important history lesson about a product many people love and revere. (2008)

Things have become a lot more competitive in Piacenza, Italy, since the Azimut-Benetti Group took over the family-run Gobbi shipyard a couple of years ago. Not that they weren't already in pretty good shape: Azimut always said that in addition to Gobbi's sports cruiser know-how, one of the yard's main attractions was its professionalism. It's just that while Gobbi was content to be successful in the Italian domestic market, Azimut-Benetti has wider horizons.
And its ambitions for Gobbi's Atlantis brand now include a marina near you. The Atlantis 39 is described as a "world boat," and the world in this instance means the huge U.S. market. Relatively few Italian boatbuilders have made successful inroads stateside, but if Gobbi's president Carla Demaria has her way, Atlantis will definitely be one of them.
Recognizing that U.S. consumers seem rather more conservative about boats than they are about handbags, shoes, or motorcycles, she engaged none other than Michael Peters—the Sarasota, Florida-based naval architect with everything in his portfolio from superyachts and race boats to the current range of retro Chris-Crafts—to draw the hull and external styling of the 39. This was a smart move on Gobbi's part. Peters has skillfully created a European look, with just enough Italian flair to avoid frightening the horses (that's you): a bold, curved windshield that seems to flow through the base of the radar arch; a long, powerful bow; a height-disguising blue stripe to the topsides; rakish, sloping guardrails; and muscular, molded haunches in the aft quarters.
Peters also knows a thing or two about hulls. The Atlantis 39 has a beamy, modified-V form, with a deadrise of 22 degrees amidships that flattens out to 16 degrees aft, which proved to be an excellent match for our test boat's 310-hp Volvo Penta D6s. In the directionless, lumpy sea that can develop off Cannes, France, at boat show time when dozens of vessels are out on sea trials, our hull refused to slam in spite of my best efforts and turned on the proverbial dime. An intermittent electrical fault with an engine-stop solenoid prevented us from doing our customary acceleration trials, but she certainly felt like a nippy little performer, leaping out of the hole and onto plane with enthusiasm and topping out at maximum revs within a whisker of 35 knots (40 mph). There was no discernible hump speed: She seemed as happy at 10 knots as she did at 15 or 20 as long as the drives were trimmed in and seemed capable of making comfortable long-distance passages (depending on conditions) at pretty much any cruising speed between about 18 and 32 knots (about 21 and 37 mph, respectively).
The helm position is comfortable, logically laid out, and, along with the sunbed on the port side, sheltered from the elements by that big windshield. On the aft deck there's a folding table pretty much surrounded by a circular sofa, which has removable backrests—they're actually a little too removable and could do with longer pegs to hold them in place—to open up the space for more sunbathers. This whole deck section lifts on two large electro-hydraulic rams to reveal a tidy and relatively spacious engine compartment. Access is excellent. Meanwhile, across on the starboard side of the cockpit is a small drink cabinet with a sink and a refrigerator.
For the below-decks accommodation, Demaria kept the faith with the bold new look pioneered by Carlo Galeazzi for the 39's big sister, the radical Atlantis 55. Euro-lite external styling doesn't prepare you for life down below. It's fun and exciting: A basic palette of pale oak, cream, and ivory might seem fairly safe, but have a look at those red lacquer highlights, the dark mahogany blinds, and the checked rope and red leather upholstery. You couldn't ask for more of a contrast, yet it all works well together.
And the flair of this interior is not just confined to the decor: The berths in the aft cabin might be on the short side (just six feet), but the way they slide together to create a good-size double is clever. There is stowage everywhere: under the forward berth, over the saloon sofa, in numerous galley lockers, and in the hanging locker and small sideboard in the aft cabin. That little red odds-and-ends tray set into the center of the folding table seems no more than a pointless quirk at first—it needs to be lifted out as the table is unfolded and then replaced—but it's beautifully made, fits perfectly, and after you've used it a few times, you remember that it's things like this that give a boat character.
But for all that, the real point to this interior is the obvious one: It has two cabins and two en suite heads. Few boats in this class can offer that much privacy and comfort in 39 feet, and while the aft cabin might lack full headroom, it's perfectly presentable for occasional guests or family visits—and of course, kids will love it.
The new Atlantis has been carefully conceived with a particular market in mind: yours. It looks good, functions well, and handles beautifully. Can this "world boat" succeed in making its way in the world? That's entirely up to you.


There was a whole lot of grumbling from UFC fans on Saturday night when the time came to drop $65 on UFC 234. Not only did the main event title fight between Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum fall out last minute over emergency hernia surgery, but the undercard past Israel Adesanya vs. Anderson Silva was objectively terrible.
Yet according to UFC president Dana White at the post-fight press conference, the event still did great financially.
The bottom on pay-per-view numbers for non-marquee events has declined in worrisome fashion over the past couple of years, with several events doing sub-250k numbers. If UFC 234 sold over 250,000 buys — the reported number UFC 230 did headlined by Daniel Cormier vs. Derrick Lewis — then you gotta tip your hat to Anderson Silva and his perfect foil Israel Adesanya for that. If you're the UFC, you could do something more tangible: you could pay them.
As per usual, a cut of the pay-per-view was set to go to Robert Whittaker and possibly Kelvin Gastelum for their main event title fight. Few fighters outside of champions and some contenders get a piece of the PPV pie, but after becoming the last second headliner, Israel Adesanya wondered aloud at the post-fight press conference whether he'd get the cut that was supposed to go Whittaker's way.
In the new tightfisted Endeavor era, we have our doubts Adesanya will get anything that wasn't on his bout agreement, but he certainly deserves more than a small pay bump if he managed to carry that thin card up to decent PPV numbers. With needle-movers in short supply, you'd hope the UFC will recognize the man's worth.


WORLD PARTY: GOODBYE JUMBO: 1990: 4.5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS: World Party's second album- falls under the heavy influence of the 1967 era Beatles especially the Lennon -Beatles. He was clearly influenced by the music of the 1960's which in this case isn't a bad thing. It was one of my most listened to albums of 1990. Karl Wallinger was World Party for the most part. Wallinger was a member of The Waterboys in the early to mid 80's. Favorite songs on this tend to be in the first half of the album-It It Too Late? Way Down Now, When The Rainbow Comes, Put The Message In The Box. It was a hit with the critics too all except the Dean of Rock Journalism Robert Christgau who gave it his dud rating.
WILLIE NILE: AMERICAN RIDE: 2013: 5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS: Nile- a former New Dylan- has had a great run of it in the past decade or so- and American Ride is my favorite- really outstanding stuff. All originals save a cover of Jim Carroll's People Who Died. A very New York City album. The first six songs on the album are grade AA…the rest- there isn't a bad cut on the album.
Will check World Party and Willie Nile out on hoopla.

Uncertainty over whether there were also threats to the U.S. Capitol led to the recall of a specially trained tactical Capitol Police unit from the scene of the nearby Washington Navy Yard shooting rampage, a new fact-finding report states.
The report comes in the aftermath of reports in the days following the Navy Yard incident that have questioned the Capitol Police leadership's decision to order the emergency response team members to stand down. In the incident, 12 people were eventually killed by a gunman, Aaron Alexis, a former Navy reservist and government contractor, who was himself killed in a police shootout.
After those questions were raised, the U.S. Capitol Police Board at the request of Chief Kim Dine commenced a review of the Capitol Police response to the incident.
The full report and recommendations were described Friday in a shorter summary as "law enforcement sensitive" and therefore were not publicly available.
But the summary says the major focus of the fact review — led by Assistant Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger, a former assistant director of investigations for the Secret Service — were the actions that day of the emergency response team.
The review team is described as having interviewed dozens of Capitol Police personnel and others, reviewed written reports, radio transmissions, and command-center incident logs.
"The review team chronicled within the scope of their review what is now recognized as a fast—moving, dynamic active shooter incident. Initial reports of the actions of [Capitol Police] personnel were inaccurate and failed to convey the nuanced complexity of such situations including the personal and professional impact on potential first responders," the summary report states.
According to the report, Capitol Police personnel did initially "self-deploy" to the Navy Yard area.
Those included two motorcycle units that assisted in traffic control on M Street SE. In addition, a field sergeant was deployed to the designated police command center at the Navy Yard in order to serve as the Capitol Police liaison. And a third field unit was deployed to the southwest corner of the Navy Yard, where he assisted in providing perimeter security.
In addition, the four-person emergency response unit responded to the vicinity of 11th and M Streets SE.
"Subsequently they were directed to the Navy Yard incident command post, but instructed not to enter the Navy Yard," the summary states. Then, "because of traffic gridlock caused by both emergency vehicles and commuter traffic the CERT unit was unable to reach that incident command post.
"The [emergency response] unit then moved closer to the Capitol, increasing its flexibility to respond as needed at either the Capitol or the Navy Yard," the summary report states.
Dine was described as having reviewed the report and concurred in its recommendations.


New data from B.C.'s Seniors Advocate shows residents in the majority of care homes in the province are still being prescribed anti-depressants and anti-psychotics without having a diagnosis for those ailments.
It has been a priority in B.C. to reduce these numbers, but a Vancouver Sun analysis has found 22 facilities in which more than 40 per cent of residents are taking anti-depressants without a diagnosis of depression. The Evergreen Seniors Home in Campbell River was doing this for 58 per cent of residents in 2014/15, according to the report by advocate Isobel Mackenzie.
And there are a whopping 54 homes in which more than 40 per cent of residents are taking anti-psychotics without a diagnosis. The Kiwanis Care Centre in North Vancouver, for example, was doing this for 65 per cent of residents.
Nearly all of the 292 care homes in B.C. were over-prescribing one or both of these meds without a diagnosis, ranging from a low of 0.5 per cent of clients to a high of 100 per cent.
Despite the shocking numbers, the situation is improving. Between April 2010 and June 2011, the health ministry said half of seniors in residential care facilities were being prescribed anti-psychotics. Four years later, Mackenzie said, about a third of the 25,000 people in residential care are prescribed the drugs.
Change started in 2012, with Ministry of Health guidelines for doctors and other health care workers designed to reduce these prescriptions. The guidelines suggest an individual approach to each patient to explore alternatives such as calming touch, music, physical activity or distraction.
The government also created a project called CLeAR — Call for Less Antipsychotics in Residential Care — to help long-term care facilities find other ways to treat dementia patients.
The B.C. Care Providers Association, which represents approximately 60 per cent of the government's contracted-out beds, has as well issued an anti-psychotic best practices guide for its members, said director of policy Michael Kary.
"We definitely think it is an issue and we have taken steps to see it reduced," he said.
Kary noted, however, it is doctors, not the care facilities, who prescribe medication to the patients.
Fraser Health Authority spokeswoman Tasleem Juma said care homes collaborate with physicians regarding patient medications. A new protocol has "created a cultural shift away from a more medical model towards a person- and family-centred model" that has reduced the use of anti-psychotics.
And last year, Fraser Health began a pilot program in two different care homes — The Residence in Mission and the George Derby Centre in Burnaby — that aims to reduce polypharmacy (the use of four or more medications by seniors), Juma said.
The NDP attacked the government Wednesday for the over-use of medication in care homes. Critic Judy Darcy said some seniors are drugged because they become disruptive due to dementia and there aren't enough staff to care for them.
"It's called chemical restraint and it's an inhumane way to treat our seniors," said Darcy.
Health Minister Terry Lake said it's a concern for his ministry.
"We've made some progress, and the Senior Advocate I think recognizes we've made some progress, but we're not where we need to be especially compared to some other provinces," said Lake.


Inter/Act is a place for young people with intersex conditions or DSDs to come together, express themselves, and unite their individual stories to develop a voice for a new generation. This is where young people say what they think about our lives. They come from every background with different perspectives and experiences.
They don't always agree with each other, and we don't expect you will, either. They write about what makes them angry, grateful, scared, and happy. They write about their relationships with their parents and their doctors – positives and negatives. They write about the realities of their lives – sexuality, friends, dating, faith, feeling different, loving our bodies, struggling with our bodies. What all these stories have in common is that they are true for the person who wrote them. It is time they were heard.

This is beautiful. Sometimes, a daily focused meditation can be included as part of daily stretching excercise. We tend to conform to societal warnings about corruption and violence. Maturity offers another discernment not at all fitting to the dog day dog world. Do you see innocence. I do, and I feel there is no comparison to something nearly innocent. Also, this factual circumstance exists here in this place beaming out to all of us outside of any comprehension of polarity. Trust me. There is much more to express. What has taken place here is magnificent. We are strength in numbers. We can do anything. Fearing the integrity of our work signals a closure of values sometimes met in strife,always actively promoting truth. When our work is done we can find new vocation. Not something we have to go to help and back for, not something we earn for strife. Remember innocence.

"How do we deal with abandonment, ruin, decay? How do we start to imagine ourselves as deeper caretakers of the things that exist in the world?" —Theaster Gates
Theaster Gates's (US, b. 1973) multifaceted practice includes sculpture, installation, performance, and architectural interventions. An important aspect of his work entails reclaiming and revitalizing abandoned buildings in neighborhoods across Chicago's South Side. These spaces, which include Dorchester Projects and the Stony Island Arts Bank, have become catalysts for creative and cultural gatherings, and now also serve as repositories for thousands of objects. Taking things that have been cast aside from libraries, archives, and collections, the artist asks us to consider what it means to invest objects with new meanings through the simple acts of conversation, conservation, creation, and care.
Assembly Hall brings a number of the artist's collections into a museum context for the first time. The Walker's galleries are transformed into a total work of art, transposing his collections and studio environment into four immersive rooms, each infused with his own poetic interventions. The exhibition considers what Gates calls "resurrections," or the act of bringing old objects and spaces back to life, while examining the historical and social context of their making in the process. Included are selections from 60,000 slides of art/architectural history from the University of Chicago Glass Lantern Slides Collection; books and periodicals, furniture, and other ephemera from the 15,000-piece Johnson Publishing Company Collection; a range of objects from the Ana J. and Edward J. Williams Collection of "negrobilia"; and ceramic pots and other wares that the artist has made or collected over the past decade. Seen together, these items speak to Gates's "deep belief in the objects and histories of African American material culture" and capture moments of celebration and inspiration, exclusion and marginalization, renewal and invention.
In 2017 Gates unveiled his first outdoor commission, Black Vessel for a Saint (2017), in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Composed of custom-made black bricks, the temple-like structure provides a space for gathering and reflection as well as a permanent home for a salvaged statue of Saint Laurence, the patron saint of librarians and archivists.

Henry of Austria, known as Henry the Friendly (15 May 1299-3 February 1327) was the son of King Albert I of Germany and Elisabeth of Gorizia-Tyrol.

In 1305, Henry was betrothed to his stepniece, Elizabeth of Hungary, the engagement probably being arranged by Agnes, dowager queen of Hungary, who showed great affection for Henry. However, the marriage never took place. In 1314, Duke Henry married Countess Elizabeth of Virneburg. The marriage remained childless.

Henry helped his brother, Frederick the Fair, in his fight for the German throne. After the Battle of Mühldorf on 28 September 1322, Henry, King Frederick and 1,300 other Austrian nobles were taken prisoners. Henry spent several years in the Bohemian castle Biirglitz before being released for a ransom of 3,000 ducats and the cession of his rights to Znojmo, Castell, Laa and Weitra. Exhausted by the harsh prison conditions, Henry died at the age of 28. His widow had him buried at Königsfelden Abbey, along with several members of his immediate family.
